 Because if I was gonna make any videos if I was gonna make it was gonna be with the audio from the phone The problem is the phone microphone as a webcam. We're just getting the whole setup here with my laptop mics which They're not great. I know they're not great. I listen to them back. They're not great But there's something There's something. Yeah, we're gonna attempt to stream this in the way Chronicles thing today Attempt is the key word. I have it here. It's um, let's see if this works. Well, I do this Hey, there it is, but we'll see how that goes. All right So I apologize if my usual Audio isn't good if I'm bouncing around on the screen. This is just how it's gonna be. I am live streaming on a cruise ship This is our room We're actually docked at a port right now. We're docked at a port right now But we're not going out yet We do some tickets to do some fun stuff tomorrow. We don't actually have any plans today for the island So we're just gonna enjoy the beach and stuff today and we have many many hours that so anyone that's worried Hey, why are you doing this? Why aren't you out on the beach? We're gonna be out on the beach literally the rest of the day after we're done with this so we just got done with some breakfast and Now ahead is You know having fun Even having fun I've been having you guys you guys know a good old nature's been having the time of his life of the drinks. You got this right here The deluxe Beverage package which means unlimited booze I've definitely been enjoying I've already I already have my morning cocktail. So an average in a cool Gosh 12 drinks a day plus like three shots And they've been having a good old time We got today still tomorrow and then we're back in the morning on Friday at port You might see me do a live stream that night. By the way, I don't know yet from our hotel room Which will have slightly better internet than this maybe maybe I don't know. We're actually using a star link so credit to Elon Musk For star link internet Actually being a thing that's allowing me to be live. I did not think this is possible now I'm live right now. Whether or not I could be live doing this while streaming The event and now I have no idea So we'll see how that goes in fact one thing I think I'm gonna have to change on This Wait now that one this screen is I think this thing I'm gonna have to I don't think I'm gonna be able to go full screen on my side Just due to Limitations with only having one screen. So I think I'm gonna do this Yeah this and I'm gonna something like Even bigger Like something like like that maybe Of course right now it's blank is it blank now, I don't know is it blank now We're gonna also lower the quality on this one 1080. Let's try 720. I See so when I lower this it works. Okay, so we'll be able to make this work I'm gonna be able to read chat a whole lot. We'll be able to make this work So so long as I this It works, okay cool cool cool So you guys will be able to see it. I'll be able to see it. It's technically live right now It's literally live right now. So Technically we are successfully streaming it and me at the same time So it is working. I just cannot go full screen with this or messes it up That's fine Hey So much for the $2 unlimited boost. Why are you not pissed as a newt right now? Why would I be why I don't even know what that means? Is that some Australian term? Like nothing Yeah, I haven't joined him. Okay boost. That's for sure You paid we paid to have unlimited. So we were surprised to see you. I bet This is I'm surprised that we're doing a xenoblade direct today Hey, does that mean there's no general direct next week. I have no idea what you guys you guys update me how has The rumors and the reports thought they've been going about that June 29th date now that we have this thing announced because I have Not done one lick of looking at news So I literally besides this which I got a bunch of pings on my phone about have not been paying attention So has there been an update on the June 29th date or is this just it this is all we're getting What happens in the collectors edition goes live after the direct nothing good luck It's a UK saying two pissed as a newt, which doesn't mean anything to me Mean shit-faced drunk so much so you cannot stand up because I don't get shit-faced drunk One I can handle a lot of alcohol. You guys know I can handle a lot of alcohol too. I Never get to the point. I can't stand up even when I'm blackout drunk. I can still stand up But I haven't been black out Then those left side isn't loading Matrix that they're still a direct next week. Okay, so that's the latest update So basically if there is going to be a direct next week my thoughts are this They're just getting xenoblade out of the way so xenoblade is not taking up a huge section of the direct But it's almost like they plan to direct and then they realize oh man We have like 15 20 minutes of xenoblade. We've done that in a direct before by the way. They did it with xenoblade Chronicles I think to I believe a it threw it in a general direct and it took up like 20 minutes and I did it like, you know what that's not a good Proportion, you know of the direct right like we've got to get 20 minutes to this one thing And then we only have 15 minutes of other stuff. That's really disproportionate So instead let's just do our own direct with xenoblade. Then we don't have to put xenoblade even in the general direct so That actually makes a lot of sense if Nate if Nate Nate Nate drinks correct That actually makes a lot of sense to just get the xenoblade stuff out of the way now because they like to do deep dives Right. We saw was even with Chronicles 2. They really don't really really deep into it And that's fine. It just doesn't work in a general direct Because anyone who's not interested in xenoblade has to sit through 20 minutes and be like crap So this is probably My video by the way the video skipping. I don't care of the video skipping I care if the stream and my audio cuts out The video is gonna skip that has nothing to do with actually the internet here That has to do with having to use my iPhone as a webcam And it's not native. So because it's not native It's through an app running on Bluetooth and because of that. That's the issue It's the issue with the iPhone communicating with the PC It's got nothing to do with the stream. So as long as the stream is live as long as the stream is seen smooth We're good. I don't care about anything else. I can skip around. That's not me I just care that we're live and you guys can hear me Yes, my unlimited soda and water cup water bottles blah blah blah But I had a mimosa this morning and I'll probably get a Strawberry back immediately when I get off the boat Yeah, I love daiquiris and daiquiris when it's hot and sunny Nice Yeah, my audio is gonna suck The audio is gonna suck. There's nothing I could do about it. There's no microphone on the headphones Which I remember these I forgot the microphone And I was hoping that I could just use my phone because the phones actually have really good mics Unfortunately as a webcam Through the app I'm using I can't get the audio to work So I have to use the audio of my laptop, which isn't very good But you know what? I do the best I can trying to get live for you guys trying to make sure we cover the xenoblade event Live in 14 minutes So should be good Uh, congratulations on your wedding, but you should be kind. Well, we didn't get married This is just a vacation We're not married guys We have been just fine Just be concentrating on our crews. Oh my god I've been concentrating on it so much. I sometimes forget I have a phone Julia's not on her phone more than me She how is miss prime. She is in the bathroom washing clothes Because we don't want to pay three dollars a shirt Yeah, I guess about something that needed to be dry cleaned. I'd pay it but It's so hot out that we can basically wash our clothes in the bathroom and then put them out on the uh The patio I wish I could show you guys. I'm afraid if I take my phone And lift it it might disconnect. I don't know But we have a junior suite usually, um Most rooms aren't this big on a boat Um, but we we got a junior suite going right now So we got they call it a king bed. I feel like it's more like A smidge bigger than a queen. Definitely doesn't feel like a king, but it is comfortable very comfortable We got a full patio. We got chairs tables and chairs out there. We got loungers I've been swimming I've been in the hot Who thought I'd be in a hot tub on a cruise. I've been enjoying the hot tub Put that karaoke last night karaoke again tonight I'm gonna be getting up on a stage in front of I don't know 100 people Busting out some karaoke tonight Yeah, we we've we've been enjoying it guys I wasn't actually going to do this. Yulia is the one who told me to do this So you guys can thank her for me being live attempting to Make this work over starlink internet I heard a rumor that square enix is making an announcement in the direct Well, we'll be the direct today That that would be next that would be the direct next week. Maybe today today is just xenoblade 20 minutes of xenoblade 3 If there's still a general direct next week, awesome Like really awesome. We're gonna we're gonna go dominate that next week for sure Oh, also be sure. Hey, we do have a nintendo prime podcast Going live later today at uh 8 p.m central time 9 p.m eastern 6 p.m If you're in a different country, I have no idea, but uh, yeah, that's gonna be live That's gonna have good audio. That was all all pre pre done with uh Mike peras I'll probably pop in the chat and say hi Uh, Manny Martinez, thank you so much for the five dollars saying thank you for streaming. You didn't have to prime Oh, I know It was Yulia's idea and what am I gonna do? You don't tell the wifey. No Got my wife yet, but eventually I You don't you don't tell her no Plus she knows that you know, we're on the screws because of you guys. So why are we gonna miss out on a major event? I might not be making videos We gotta miss out on the major event if the internet's gonna hold up. Let's do it Yes, it does. Here comes Yulia. Whoo And They saw you for a second and skip Must be because you're holding clothes Yep, um Welcome to team and victor. Yeah. Yeah, finally got my little shiny watch They will now right Hope you have a wonderful vacation. Yeah, we're having a great time. We don't want to go home I'll stay for another week A new amiibo today, you think uh Once we get to about two minutes before I'll flip over um Let's see here How do you all just pop it in to say hi how to get back to work later nets? Now we're enjoying it We'll see if this works once their life is glad their their stream should be smoother than me I'm I'm not skipping because of the internet. I'm skipping because of Using my iphone as a cam She is beautiful Yulia says you're getting married on the boat. So when's the wedding? No, she did say she wants to get married on a cruise ship now We've seen two weddings or something We've been on the ship Cory Yulia says you're getting married on the boat. When's the wedding? It's corny pulling corny little shit Miss Yulia equals the queen. Yeah It's not Julia. It's Yulia with a Y He hates that A couple of our friends used to call her huli all the time um No Why why are we why are we like sad faced as you know latest nintendo exclusive? Of course, it's nintendo exclusive. They own the they've owned that studio for a long time I feel it feels weird to be sad about that. Oh the stream is crashing on and off fix this I can't I Watch it on your phone. I don't actually know what it looks like for them. It's mad Wean, it looks fine. I already told you guys me skipping around isn't the stream skipping That's my that's my cell phone sucking as a webcam The stream itself is why No, that won't matter. That won't make a difference. It's it's because iPhone doesn't have a native webcam app that works with computers No, they are gonna have it later this year, but it only works with max It won't work with Little third-party apps suck at this webcam She does have it She's been switching back and forth like every other day You know that one in her red one One and only the only one on existence When am I coming back home? Saturday And honestly, it probably goes right back to normal life then I'll be right back to work and kids and everything else literally probably be live Saturday night Working, but that's okay That's okay. We got to make a living, you know Hey, both men how to work for a week. Well, you guys have seen a few videos, but obviously, you know There's no I don't have any more scheduled videos besides the podcast tonight. So obviously revenue is gone Which is going to your on vacation and we don't get pto It's not enough So I gotta get right back to work. Let me get home. We'll be home Probably around like one or two p.m. On Saturday And then literally it's get kids unpack and settle in and Right back to it right back to the grind. I got to get videos out on whatever news I've missed Maybe a podcast style reaction with Mike and I've talked to him Although Mike has his own event this upcoming Saturday I don't know if I don't know if it's live though He's working on his podcast He's gonna have like all the voice actors that you know Get on android yet androids do work better in terms of the whole webcam thing with pc totally work better Work way Significantly better like it's night and day I wonder what happened about changes of 30 fps Sorry, but if the camera feed dies for a second, sorry. I'm still here. I promise I'm gonna change the frame rate to 30 instead of 60 and see if that makes a difference Because maybe it's just struggling with that 60 Let's go to 30 Let's down the video resolution as well. See if that helps All right, we'll be back in about a second here Maybe it'll be smoother now I think it's smoother now running at 720 and 30 fps instead of 1080 and 60 Yeah, that became badass Yeah, I think it's smoother now I think I think that that might have helped a little bit lowering the quality of the camera I think we're better. I think we fixed the skipping I think it's good now Holy crud Am I still skipping around? It looks smoother on my end But I don't know Yes Yes In the bathroom or something over there My lord, yeah That's for me that body for me you stay away from the camera Is it smoother now guys? I don't know if it's actually smoother for you guys or not. Yeah, I don't know. It's a smoother for you guys Let me know. Let me know if it's smoother. It's gonna be it's gonna be a second. There's a little bit of a delay Let me get this live from you again. All right, let me know if that picks the video smoothness Let me set these on you. Yeah, there's definitely a good way Show off a few of your cruise pictures. Uh, you Well, I know like I can actually show them up. It's better now way better. Awesome. Awesome Awesome Yeah, I gotta switch over though. Yes, we'll show them after him. So yeah So I I definitely think the uh, the software will work better if I'm running 720p 30 fps instead of trying to run 1080 60 videos better audio Cory I've already explained the audio is my laptop speakers. I can't make it better dumbass I told you this I've said it multiple times the audio cannot be fixed because I do not have my microphones with So this is what you get. This is what you get. The Zuma stream is live It's just waiting for it to start Waiting for it to start If I'm behind maybe if you guys refresh your streams at all, it'll be cool and you kind of strike You know, there's definitely a delay. You guys have seen a huge delay Because I'm already like practically watching the direct sort of this it begins in like 30 seconds Let's go last my ears with wonderfulness nintendo You were behind by like, yeah Yeah, if you refresh the stream it might uh, it might catch up for you guys Because I noticed on julia's phone it was behind too even though it says excellent connection right here But I don't know here we go. Oh, that is not lined up correctly. Whoa You are all talk when you left here, but you've nothing to show for it D I'll spare me pee We should have solid forth in the first place Surely the turn is mine I believe it's my turn Honestly, you make more noise than the rabble at a feast Even if you did stop its raging flow It will soon burst through Well, let us see how far the flow brings them this time We each have a lifespan of 10 years We call them terms Life begins with our first term and ends at the close of our 10th And over the course of those 10 years We fight continually How much we're up for that talk is that Course we're gonna survive I thought about this a lot About what I can achieve What I'll leave behind Then I think of tomorrow and the traumas are back Will I see the same faces when I wait? Will I even be around to see them? Wow Ready now the enemy is before you Chase them to the ends of the world Unchecked uroboros will lead this world to ruin. You must be erased These soldiers will nourish me and we can always grow plenty more The choice not to fight And you made it true This looks incredible That mark there Late 10th term, eh? Three months left Then about right? Three moments And then I'll be gone from this world Getting made an example and helps rest this time The last number to attack it We have good reason to meet with them To bring peace and to set the world to rights I could take a look around This is bad Noah Now I want to live To live and learn So don't give up yet If the world holds our lives back I will end it It is fate Many have tried But none have ever managed to escape its flow What is it they need to stay alive? Water Food Certainly But what we need most Is life itself Taking each other's lives With the taken flames becoming your own in turn This is the world of Ionios The nations of Kevus and Agnes And their grizzly conflict Standing contrast to its natural splendor All this killing for the sake of filling one's own flame clock From the moment of birth Fighting is all the people of Ionios learn Their fate leads to everyone's destruction Their lifespans are a mere 10 years Surviving on the battlefield Fulfilling that 10-year lifespan of service And receiving a homecoming ceremony in front of their cream Is the highest honor Many never receive this honor As they fall in battle Their souls evaporating into the beyond As the melody of the offseers plays In today's presentation We'll introduce the world of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 game And follow the main characters adventures Countless comrades have lost their lives Thanks to this filth What do you think it's like for us losing friend after friend You steal everything from us Six soldiers Three from Kevus and three from Agnes were commissioned to take part in a special mission Both parties filled with mutual hatred draw their weapons at first But when they encounter a mysterious figure they shelve their distrust and resolve to work together Because now kids You share a common destiny No hunts you constantly Relentlessly without rest There's one place that might give you a chance Sword mart man pierced by a great sword Our city defeat the real enemy My lord, how was the sunset? This was so good This story focuses on these six characters This is what we're meant to do To send on the voices of the departed Is an offseer's purpose Ready he says from the moment I chose this muddy path, I'll be more than ready The spark you want about I'm not gonna let you take the fall alone. I thought about this About what I can achieve What I'll leave behind If anything we should be questioning all that we've thought to be true Differences are all a matter of perspective The truth is she's terrified She needs someone to tell her that everything will be all right Now fugitives of both Kettis and Agnes These fate-defying hopefuls journey to learn the truths of their world Their role is to convey the queen's directives to the colonies along with handling admin and decision making Our colonies regard each other as enemies But if the consuls giving the orders are the same it means But these guys are mega suspicious I suspect they may be more deeply involved than we thought With the reason why we fight with deciding our fate Our fate keep it together now Mimi That's just hope it's not a mirage Ionios is host to various landscapes All filled with surreal geography to explore and diverse wildlife to encounter Again, how is the sunset like the lands they inhabit The wild creatures here range from Dawson to dangerous They're doing the curvy They're doing the curvy curvy frame rate drop with the far back Some creatures make no secret of their ferocious tendencies so keep caution in mind You'll also encounter the soldiers of Kettis and Agnes who continue to fight throughout the land Colonies serve as the base camp for both nations At the heart of each colony is a foranis these are mobile bases and devastating weapons of war Seek out these colonies to shop Get to know residents and more Get a glimpse of the lives of knowing his friends at these rest spots Founding colonies and throughout the world use collected materials to cook Craft gems to strengthen your abilities Looks good to me. I think the fund is useful and discuss information you hear about from residents to take on new quests Explore every corner of these fields as you seek out new encounters breath-taking scenery Valuable items and ferocious monsters Enjoy the world and fulfill your wanderlust at your own pace Oh What is happening the locations you visit are saved as landmarks Okay, they went all out select and travel to they went all out Which makes traversing this giant world more manageable By enabling a navigation feature you can set a course for your next destination without fear of losing your way There are plenty of other features that will help you on your adventure Such as the ability to change the time of day to encounter monsters that only appear at specific times Attention for me uni cover fun. We need you too Understood just say when guys. Thanks everyone. I'll count down from three three two one Let's go Draw your weapon when encountering an enemy to seamlessly enter battle Make your approach to attack automatically then harness powerful abilities called arts to strive for victory Arts have a variety of effects. Some can throw opponents off balance Inflict more damage based on where you attack from Or heal allies to name a few You know this one by heart each art is assigned to a button making them simple and easy to execute Each character takes on a specific role during battle Attackers excel at damaging enemies Defenders block enemy attacks and draw their aggro and healers can restore hp to keep you in fighting shape Each character playing their role effectively is a key point to battling You can freely swap the character you control at any time String together arts to activate a combo and gain an advantage Get the enemy off balance Knock them to the ground Launch them into the air then smash them down String together successful combos is quite satisfying You can link multiple arts with stunning chain attacks to devastate enemies Deal heaps of damage at once and let nothing stand in your way An icon just popped up Over your head it all seems to be the only one not loved like a sparking lipo I've never used this kind of blade before But all the techniques I can use with it are flashing before my eyes Each character in your party has a class that influences how they battle Then how this is even working, but cool Each class has its own attributes Swordfighter lead the fight with this well balanced attacker class Zephyr evade attacks and unleash powerful counters Medic gunner Restore allies hp and strengthen their abilities from a position of safety Extrash! Boomi star! Tissue healing Tectition Disrupt enemies and support allies using paper talismans called Mondo Heavy guard Wield massive weapons to defend allies and draw enemy aggro Ogre Crush enemy defenses with massive power Your class can also be changed to match that of your allies Spend time learning multiple classes for a well-rounded team Experience earned on the battlefield increases your class rank and lets you learn master arts A set of beneficial arts that can be added to a different class White slump! With master arts even your defender can take a moment to heal their allies The more arts and combat strategies you wield the easier it'll be to blaze through battles By combining compatible arts you can unleash fusion art attacks that combine the effects of two arts into one By spectacularly, that's how I want the battlefield of my life to be It's just that as a mechanic you can't stop getting moody just because something's broken Now we see real map potential That possible for one napon But not for two I just wish it wasn't such a weakling I can't run away from my responsibility Doing the same as everyone around you. It's always the same outcome Following the playbook to the letter is hardly a strategy Whoever goes up against me One hero at a time can assist on the battlefield, but you can swap them out as you see fit Heroes also bring their own classes to your team Guardian commander, turn the tables with boosted abilities when things look dire In cursor Unleash more critical hits for higher attack power War medic Heal party members and bolster them with various buffs These are only a handful of classes that heroes bring Your party members can take on any of the hero classes that they become your allies Recruit more heroes for a growing combination of classes and arts in your party Choose to don a class's look or keep your current outfit Find your fashion and fight for the future Oh creature It's something else You've got a real death wish Going me down the nerve on this guy Or maybe her memories. There were so many and then they were a part of me By joining together in battle through interlinking Two characters in your party can freeze into a fiercely powerful form known as an oraboros Here are the character pairs that can intermigrate Transform into this fearsome fusion by interlinking during combat Clear out the battlefield by using mighty oraboros arts before time is up and the interlink deactivates Forever known to be in making They're so selfish Selfish how? You know what I mean Every time we interlink they're the ones taking the lead So you'd prefer to take the raids I just want to do more Like pull my weight, you know Despite being a single body the oraboros is controlled by only one of the two characters Swap between them to modify the form and Earn points in battle to make the already powerful oraboros even stronger Oraboros can also take part in chain attacks with the rest of the party We were sworn enemies once And yet we all share the will to live in the now Until now, I was afraid to take that first step But now I can do it don't be afraid not like We can afford to go just yet I'll keep going While my flames still flicker Broad in the world of xeno blade chronicles 3 with a paid expansion pass you can get the additional content shown here December of 2023 for the new story xeno blade chronicles 3 is compatible with amiibo figures Tap any amiibo to acquire helpful in-game items for your adventure Tap the shulk amiibo to change a character sword to appear as the monado when using noah's sword fighter class Xeno blade chronicles 3 launches july 29th Come on Thank you for watching And enjoy your adventures in the world of ionios All I could say right now is Interesting comments. I was reading. I know the comments are a bit behind the stream. Um, that's just that's just how it goes here Wow Wow So, uh, so things like saying, um Like someone said, uh We need to switch pro these graphics are aging says mani martinez Uh, I'm I don't know if you've checked out, um The sales data on vg charts. There was an update like yesterday or something. I saw I started on twitter Uh, switch has outsold the playstation 5 and the xbox series combined worldwide in 2022 Combined remember those are the brand new systems And nintendo switch is outselling them worldwide combined. So when we talk about needs more power needs more of this this looks dated We have to keep in the context that Graphics aren't everything the most popular video games in the world are some of the most visually lacking games Minecraft robots A majority of people who actually play video games Don't care about it being on super powerful hardware and don't care if the graphics blow their mind It's not actually what a majority of people who play video games Care about it might be what you care about and that's totally fine I have my gaming pc this laptop i'm streaming off is a beast thinking game in 4k. It's awesome 4k 60 all day on this on this laptop my obviously my desktop at home I got a 49 inch ultra wide that that can do 1440p at 240 fps or 300 or something like that Wait, no, that's about down to 1080. I can get to like 360. Anyways, doesn't matter. The point is I love my pretty pretty visuals But the bottom line is A majority of people don't really care. They just want great games They just want great games and Everything I just saw is xenoblade Chronicles 3 direct. Holy crap. Or is this a good game? This is a great game I am so stoked for this amazing game Uh, and for anyone wondering You know, can I hop into xenoblade 3 and not play xenoblade 1 and 2 now? I only played xenoblade 1 uh to completion. I got a little bit through xenoblade 2 Uh Unfortunate you know I did play xenoblade chronicles x. I just didn't beat it. Uh x is irrelevant to this anyways I will say this you will you do not need to play xenoblade 1 and 2 to really really enjoy 3 There's going to be some references and some callbacks that you might only get if you play xenoblade 1 and 2 Uh, but you do not need the xenoblade is almost like the zelda franchise And that you don't need to play prior zelda games to really really enjoy the current like You know if you just got into zelda with breath of the wild you might not get the references You know like why lan lan lan ranch Matters and all this other stuff that you're going to see out in the overworld You might not get all those references that doesn't prevent you from having a damn good time because the zelda team always makes sure That each and every zelda game can stand on its own merit different different when it comes to um most other games xenoblade Like final fantasy like zelda each game can kind of stand on its own even though they're technically connected xenoblade is more connected than zelda is But they can each stand on their own you don't really need to play the prior To enjoy the current so if you're thinking if you watch this zelda 3 directing you go man that looks incredible That's because it is incredible And you should try it out if you watch that and you go up not interested That's fine You know it's a jrpg. It's an action jrpg It's very like in the elks of final fantasy like if you really enjoy action Final fantasy games, uh, that's that's kind of what this is like So this is sort of nintendo's final fantasy franchise if that makes sense That that that's sort of been the kick since we since it came out is that xenoblade Chronicles is like nintendo's final fantasy Whether or not this is the last one. I have no idea No idea if this is the last one Um, you know, they tend to do trilogies monolith soft does and then they move on to the next franchise But xenoblade is becoming so big. Uh, it's possible xenoblade chronicles is going to continue with a fourth and fifth and sixth The song who knows, uh, you know, if this one sells really really well, they're not just going to abandon the ip It's become a really big ip for nintendo each one including definitive edition selling more and more and more so Uh, yeah, this ip is looking fantastic And by the way The latest update from insiders, uh, including emily rogers now that i've looked it up is That we are still getting an antenna direct next week They just wanted to get xenoblade out of the way because they had so much to show and they like to do deep dives Uh, this is all a couple of comments about spoilers. I'll say this. Uh, spoilers in xenoblade stuff is pretty light Uh, they they have to give you a lot of information on how the game works and the battle combat in the world because xenoblade is massive It's massive. They show you basically less than a percent of the actual game and all of their previews So it always feels like they're showing you a lot because this game is so huge It's impossible to just show a tiny smidge and actually understand anything You need to get a good grasp of the game before you buy it because again, you know, you're diving into a really long You know two 300 hour adventure what they're showing you in little snippets, you know, maybe an hour total of stuff It's nothing. There's so much more Um Let's see here adding to your point. Remember when I wrestled about overshadow horizon zero dawn even though horizon had better graphics Uh, yeah, I mean they're different games. They're both they're both action adventure games I'm not going to say over shadow I it obviously wrestled the lab one game of the year awards and horizon didn't that didn't mean that horizon zero dawn was a bad game Um, but like it wasn't like graphics were the only thing going for horizon But obviously a lot of people know sony games, you know, whether it's like last of us or horizon or spider-man or god of war You know, one thing the art sony does know is pushing the envelope on visuals And that's fine. There's nothing wrong with those kind of games, but like that doesn't You know, that doesn't necessarily that's the only way to go about it As I said the most successful games in the world don't do that Minecraft robot the mario franchise pokemon franchise These are like the biggest ip's in the world and none of them are pushing the visual envelope um Let's see here Yeah, I don't know if graphics not mad ring doesn't hold up if the nintendo platform have more power You'd be playing the same games But they would look and play better with that damaged sales That depends white umbrella. How much is the more powerful switch going to cost? If it didn't cost four or five hundred dollars that could damage sales All about The price to performance to user satisfaction Obviously the user satisfaction rate of switch is really really high It won't still be selling 20 million units a year in its sixth year We are in the midst of the sixth year and it's about to sell 20 million again We wouldn't be still seeing those kind of sales if people weren't satisfied with what they're playing You know, when you talk about you know, the argument of graphics doesn't hold up My argument about graphics is graphics don't make great games Yes, more power equals prettier looking games. It doesn't necessarily mean the games are better It just means they look pretty good, right? Like maybe it's a little bit higher frame rate Maybe it's a little bit, you know higher resolution Do you know what it's gonna look like? Do you know what it's gonna look like? Zelda Mario is gonna look like Mario at the end of the day It's up all the gameplay And by the way, I've already said this to somebody that I want a switch pro I want a more powerful switch. I want a steam deck Can't get my damn hands on one for MSRP, but I want a steam deck I literally have a powerful gaming laptop a powerful gaming desktop at all. I have an xbox series Planned to get a ps5 later this year played the hell out of Miles Morales had a ps5 before like I love visuals I'm all about the pretty visuals love them however Game play trumps visual breath of the wild is my favorite game of all time even though Hey, there's games that run on pc. I could I could run the emulator for Wii U on PC And get it at 60 fps get it at 4k, but I prefer to play it on switch I like to play my games on original hardware. I don't I don't like to I don't like to uh To emulate I feel like emulation is fine No problem if people like to emulate and get better experiences, especially from switch games I see it all the time you want me to switch games all the time because I can run them at 60 fps But I I always look at it as the game is intended to run in a certain type of hardware And I want to know if it's good on that hardware and if it's great on that hardware. I'm satisfied I don't need to upgrade it. I would love for an upgraded switch That's obviously going to upgrade the experience, but I don't need it If I don't need it's a want like there's a difference if you need and want we don't need The upgrade of visuals that okay, we don't need it. We would just like That makes sense like I'm not going to complain if we get a switch bro Or get a switch too in the next year and a half But I don't need it. I'm perfectly happy Playing the games I'm playing now To give you an idea on vacation here Uh on the plane waiting in the airport and stuff. I've been playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Shredder's Revenge I also have it on the xbox back at home because it's on game pass I am Perfectly happy Dominating that game and I get its old school visuals arcade stuff I understand that's like a unique situation But it also goes to show if I can be perfectly happy playing one of the best games of the entire damn year And I'm saying that right now and I haven't even finished it. I'm sorry Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Shredder Revenge one of the best games of the year if I can say that right now right now And I'm playing that on switch and having a blast I'm gonna I'm about to have a damn good time as you know by Chronicles 3 An amazing time will tune three later this year Probably be ended at three as well probably gonna end up enjoying the pokemon games because everything I've seen from the pokemon games is all Positive news for me. Like I'm sorry. I end up not really caring if I get A new switch yet or not. I would like to have one Stop the games for me as long as I'm getting the banger games and I'm really enjoying them You know just like hey The x5 and xbox series could be less powerful than they are now as long as the games are great. I'm gonna enjoy it now Like I was I always go with like um with graphics as hey look Graphics are awesome graphics are amazing. All right, so that I enjoy gaming any less On the ps4 and the xbox one than I do today Was it less enjoyable back then because the visuals were worse? When I was pc gaming in the 90s playing Age of Empires Was I enjoying gaming any less back then than I am today? For all the visuals today Age of Empires 4 destroy the original Age of Empires No Because the graphics don't make it fun So like yeah, I don't know like when I was playing on the SNES. Was it less enjoyable than playing on the switch? No You know It just kind of goes to show that like that's not that's not really how enjoyment of gaming goes I feel like a lot of people This is exactly this is just kind of a general generalization But I feel like a lot of people that care a lot about oh man I want to run my game and have the most realistic visuals the most epic fps and I go that's cool That's fine. It's fine to want a pretty to look at game. I mean you can walk out in the world I mean I'm literally on an island right now I can walk out and see something even prettier than your damn game looks but that's besides the point Forget looking at real world. Maybe that's not an option for you So you want to look at a really pretty virtual world because you want to escape the real world Maybe you live in a city and you know what look into the city scape gets old to you You want to see some tropical island stuff happening and you want to see the pretty visuals imaginable fine. That's fine But I ask you once the last time I heard someone praise the gameplay of those games Like horizons were bent and west came out this year and by the way I think it's a great looking game and probably really enjoyable. I have yet to see anybody talk about How good the gameplay Man, I really enjoy it for this gameplay aspect. I really enjoy it for the story aspect All I ever see is man, look how pretty this looks Well, if I just want to see pretty vistas, there's a bunch of free ones on the internet You can make them as your desktop wallpapers and they can rotate That's the real world or outer space real imagery from telescopes like I don't play games because the world is pretty I play it for the game the actual playing of the game If the world happens to be pretty around it awesome But it's the game good like I thought I want to know even when I read reviews of like some of these other games Um, literally they spent half the review talking about the visuals and I'm like, okay I get it the visuals look good. You want to talk about the tessellation. You want to talk about the lighting How about we talk about the actual gameplay? That'd be great you know But a lot of reviews and a lot of people just don't don't do that. That's fine people like what they like I'm not gonna sit here in the fashion board. It's just not what I necessarily care about the most I would like pretty visuals and the gameplay part of the gameplay to be the focus and the visuals to be secondary That makes sense It happens to be pretty sweet Hey, thank you for the 499 super chat mani martini is leaving graphics session aside What do you think of the the characters and stories from the end of the clock story? I think it looks really good I think it looks really really good There's a lot of story in there that you know They they're kind of setting up the story and the expectations. I think it looks really good I think the story is is building out to be the best Zeno blade story and that's saying a lot because like x had an incredible story Obviously my favorite story in series so far was Zeno blade one So I think it's setting up to be the best and the characters all look great I like the the variants and the characters. I like obviously that we could change our what is it our not our traits our classes And I found like their whole megazord combination thing you can do for a limited time and switching them when they showed you Could switch back and forth and they showed like that silver surface sword attack. That was really cool I think the characters and the story are are looking absolutely incredible. Obviously everything's fully voice acted Which that's a zeno blade staple at this point Makes me kind of kind of grinds my gears. We can't get that zelda like this is a series that doesn't even sell like It's still such a minute fraction compared to zelda yet. They get full voice acting Come on zelda team Pick it up for breath of the wild dude, but uh Yeah, I think it looks incredible I know it's absolutely incredible. I I literally couldn't ask for more Couldn't ask for more and you can see like I know you want to set aside graphics But there is a visual trick they're using you want to oh is this running on an original switch? hardware a switch for Look at the enemies In the background not the foreground the background they're running like this Which is the Kirby trick right if you play Kirby in the forgotten land the enemies in the background We're running at a lower frame rate Uh, and that's what they're doing in this game. So they're using some tricks here and there to keep the game looking as good as it does Um by you know using some visual tricks like that. That's one one way you can tell. Yeah, it's absolutely running on switch It's probably using FSR as well um But yeah, apparently and apparently they're still having uh still an intended direct next week which That's awesome for me Yeah, but not this Really? Is that are you kidding me? No, this is one of them. They're doing xeno way today, but they're doing a bigger one next week So they were getting this one Well, I'm gonna be a for them. I'm gonna be a babe. I mean I might go live for an hour before That's normal. That's a thing of it The only is over there. I might beat your ass. Jesus Jesus No, it's not a 12 hour event, honey. We're not fine. Give me a vest here No It'll just be no I'll just be in normal work Put this part of the normal work day for youtube should be if you never get to know Oh my gosh, you get into the shots last night. Oh my god so I guys So we're at karaoke. I didn't get to sing because you know, there's a lot of people trying to sing You know only it's only for an hour and a half. So I'm gonna get in early today so I can sing But we were sitting this couple and we we because we had the unlimited drink package We got them some shots and drinks because they didn't have the unlimited package and then I went up to get my own shot And They brought me a shot. I don't know Bombay something Bombay sapphire. I believe it was And they gave me instead of a shot glass like they gave me when I bought the other guy his They didn't give me a shot glass. No, no, no, they gave me a drinking glass And they had literally about a shot and a half to two shots in it And I'm like Okay, fine, whatever and then the guy that we were buying drinks and shots for like his wife or whatever He he left he came back with another one that he paid for Probably because he felt bad that we have we've given him so many free drinks and shots like we care We already paid for it And I'm like I'm soon you're holding these two glasses and I'm like what am I supposed to do with this? So I just dunked him into each other the glass like you know It's one of those don't little drink glasses like this big the glass was probably so it's this big and it was probably Like this full if you see my third finger here. It was it was getting close to the top and I'm like I'm looking at this. I'm looking at this and I'm like I guess I'm on vacation, huh? I mean I've done the four shot glasses in a row. We're just gonna throw this all back I've never had Bombay sapphire in my life Found out it's 47 percent booze. So it's a very very Much it gets you drunk So I threw it back I was already a little bit tipsy at this point because I had already done like 13 drinks throughout the day Didn't do any shots yet But they whenever we go to go to that they have a playmaker sports bar here One guy that's there We because he served us our very first drink when we got on ever since then when he sees us and he makes my drink He makes it like a double Um, so it's already Yeah, ever since the first day because you you she sucked out Yeah, she just sucked down two drinks. Yeah, so He's making all of our drinks super strong So we were drinking there and drinking other places have my dairies all day So I was already feeling a little buzzed and feeling good for the first time Since we got on the cruise ship after drinking for two straight days finally started to feel buzzed because Heavy tolerance So I just throw that thing down after I'm already buzzed and you only is like, oh no I'm like, how much alcohol is in that? I'm like, oh 15 percent. Oh wait. No, that's what makes a blue sapphire Like actual sapphire is 15 percent of something. Let me look up the drink Oh 47 alcohol. She's like waiter. Waiter. We need water. We need water Still have one of the bottles right here. I ended up being totally fine I just downed one of the bottles and I actually didn't get more tipsy Well, that's because certain boozes affect people differently and apparently bomb-based sapphire Even though it's 47 alcohol doesn't affect me the way like tequila one of those four shots of tequila of any type I would have been stripping and running End up in Italy, what's happening? Hey, how'd you get to Italy? You don't even know a password I have no idea I hopped in the cargo Happy in a bag Uh, yeah, we we've been having some fun on our vacation. Are you guys having any other questions? I'll give you guys maybe I'm looking at the time you don't give you guys 15 minutes here, and then we'll we'll end the stream You guys ready? I won't be live the rest of vacation except. Yeah, I probably live the rest of vacation I'll go I'll go live Saturday night when we're home and I'm back at the studio No, I had to think about I was gonna do it at the hotel until I'm not gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna but I will go live on Saturday night, which I usually don't do No, I don't yeah, you see you the other she's like I don't care if you like she doesn't care She knows I enjoy this like see live you we got you enjoy you. I also enjoy youtube Like, you know, I enjoy So like yeah, it's like a job but also I enjoy it and all the videos you've seen so far From the videos on saturday sunday monday and our in our podcast tonight. We're all done before we left So I got all that done on I think friday or saturday I haven't touched a computer until now So I I trust me. I enjoy into vacation and I won't I probably won't touch this again until Saturday and I'll be back home at the studio for that Let's be here Archie out legends. Arceus was not a was not a very good Wicking game visually, but it was amazing gameplay wise Um, I'm stuck on the final boss is the anime chronicles one I'm trying to level grind since I was pretty under level Trying being the operative word. It's your job. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that happens sometimes This was many internal fans are too stubborn to accept the actual issue It is bomby sapphire a jinn That would explain it jinn doesn't hit me as hard I know jinn doesn't is that what it is a bomb by sapphire a jinn I haven't even thought to look up what kind of booze it is I know jinn's don't hit me as hard though I don't know why it's just the way my body reacts to it just doesn't hit It's hard That was a lot of moves though That was a lot Yeah, yeah, the guy recorded me. He was recording me taking this. So are you? Yeah, and so was the guy because he's like, I can't believe he's about to do this. I'm like, man You need to come party with me I've done crazier shit than this I'm totally fine. No hangover. No nothing Of course, I've been doing a good job of mixing like I get my little caffeine kick and my water kick in Plus like when you have like factories it's like half water. Anyways You just tell her you don't have a choice Yeah, you don't have a choice Yeah, that's the way it is with with my oh our daughter just never wants to shower no you just force her That's it. If she doesn't if she wants to be stinky as an adult when she's no longer living in our house That's her choice Yeah, she's really bad. She's so unhygienic Yeah, she's about to get a bunch of acne and you complain and I'm itchy of this. I'm gonna take fucking showers That day I could swear No, the whole world's off the boat. We're probably like the last people on the boat If you are live again during the cruise, let us all virtually kick your ass If I go live from the cruise ship, uh, the only thing I might do If I go live from you know, if I go live again from the cruise I might I might do a phone stream No, it won't be as bad if I do it from the phone. So I could do a phone stream I like show you guys the room and The boat or you know, you know outside. So if you guys like that's all fine I know I'm walking around for an hour just showing you guys stuff You know, I don't know if I could do it on the beach They said the Wi-Fi is a little iffy on the beach a bit So I might not be able to show that but it's possible I could do I'll do a quick like hey, here's our first people who've never been on one You know, it's like Let us all virtually kick your ass Oh, do we even enjoy in the holiday just fine Very relaxing like we can just have nothing to do and be fine Like today technically we're gonna go on the island and we have nothing to do. We'll eat some food We'll sit on the beach I'll dive in the ocean It's about it I Told her not a good idea, but I've already done Bombay is gin. Okay. Yeah, so it's a gin. Okay. Yeah, so apparently that would explain why I didn't hit So I would have never even been afraid of it if I know why was I afraid of it. I threw it back It could it could have been tequila it could have been tequila Yeah, the thing is it was enough that I had to chug it So I chugged basically a full glass But it was fine. I can handle it. No problem Yeah, I forgot about nine minutes left here guys Um, I'm just glad it's going a little smoother now. So now I know What to set it to if I have to use my phone as a virtual camera It's also possible that with this setting I might be able to run When we buy that the new camera later this year I might be able to run a three camera setup with my phone. Why don't you? Maybe it should work better on my home Wi-Fi too. That's that's another thing too That's okay. It's cool. I wouldn't probably swim in that thing Yeah, you got a threat. I don't shouldn't have to threaten her She doesn't care about being stinky. It's dumb I've been drinking my favorite cocktail sex on the beach. So sweet. Ah You liars. We drink the sex on the beaches the whole time or as they call it sex on a boat Yeah, they keep calling it sex on the ship sex on the boat every time we say Then you said, no, that's one of our favorite bartenders in college Oh You know what it is Yeah, the fun one the fun ones Granny, you weren't talking to the bartender, honey. You were talking to a waiter Who's the difference the bartender will probably know it tonight. The waiter's probably don't Yeah, what's cool is like everywhere you go here. Like I can be sitting out Like up by the pool or whatever. They just come by all the time asking you ready for another drink You ready for another drink you want a drink you ready for a drink literally like everywhere I'm surprised they don't stop and knock at my door. Hey, you want a drink? Everywhere else on the boat, they're constantly asking you do you need anything do you want something Anything is we have free food and free drinks. So everything's like we just have whatever the hell we want Do they have a taco bar? I don't have a taco bar Right outside pool side you just go through and get all your tacos and your quesadillas If you aren't live for karaoke, you've done something wrong. That would be up to Yulia She's actually gonna record it. It'd be worse if she live streams it Oh, I'm gonna try to bring my phone up with me. So you don't suddenly go live on youtube Let me go live Nate's about to sing karaoke You get seasick. You know they have things for seasickness, right? They have like patches and wristbands and stuff you can wear that they take care of it So so sarah you you can actually not have to worry that much about seasickness They you just have to if you know you have it ahead of time They have stuff that you can you can use and I think there's even a pill now, but I'll tell you this sarah When you're on the boat on this big of a cruise ship you barely notice you're even on the water Like if no one told you you're on a boat You wouldn't know you're on a boat Well, if you walk out and stare at the water, you're gonna you're obviously, you know, if you're staring out at the ocean You're gonna feel it because you know, it's a it's a trickery But yeah, they have stuff for seasickness. So So even people who get seasick can enjoy cruise And it's not like and it's not like being on like a little puddle jumper where you're like Like no a few of those and I'm going. Yeah. Yeah, Yulia's Yulia has a handful of those a day Um, I should have breakfast in a soda before the direct starts the director already started It's over actually. Hey, stop complaining name. That's your that's your username. I hate to tell you it already happened The zoom of a direct happened. It's done Yeah, there's a lot of medicine you could take for for motion sickness and seasickness medications and like simple patches and wristbands like it's a people always like all that stuff won't work and then they use it and they're like, oh Really that easy because all it is is just trick in the mind Just trick in the mind Yulia has a great taste in drinks. Yeah, she also just like straight shots of vodka Yeah, you used to just be tequila then she realized oh vodka I could do more vodka No, oh would you like some salt and let Salt and line get out of here Give it to me straight right into the veins Um, why uh, what are your plans the rest of the day? Oh, nothing So, I mean lunch at some point because it's 10 o'clock at home, but it's 11 o'clock even so when we lunch at some point Uh, because we get food we get free food at some food food joint on the beach otherwise Enjoy the beach Swim in the ocean a little bit. That's about it. We we we don't really have any We don't really have any plans here. I mean if we decide to do something Oh, I have to go to guest services and sort of a billing issue, but that's that's not your guys's problem Um, somehow I gave them cash to put on the card and then my card got charged a bunch of money So now we have basically no money and we don't know why Let's hope I have to sort that out Uh, we'll be fine. They don't get all sorted out. They might already be sorted out by the time at this time Okay, I go check my bank right now. I might be fine but We don't have any really real big plans today and then uh tomorrow we're at nasa and We're going on We're going on a Um, we're going on a new or exploring new providence sightseeing Um thing that's going to take us to some caves And some other places that most people don't go to so I'm going to get some really good pictures and video um, and that that I think noon eastern tomorrow We have to meet them at the pier at 11 45. So what will happen is we'll probably just chill on the boat Until then and then go do that and then if there's time left after you know, we'll we'll check out the beaches and stuff at nasa but Yeah, I'm the pier next to the ship See that We're gonna do that tomorrow Um, we won't want to go snorkeling, but it's all sold out. So that'll be next time we go on the cruise We'll do some snorkeling Unless we get lucky, maybe we'll go there and there'll be like a non, you know Maybe maybe we'll still get those snorkeling today. I have no idea. Yeah, the tablets don't always work, Sarah Yeah, there's other those wristbands and you got to figure out which one works for you. There's a bunch of different ones Stop proud if I See here Had a mute for a minute to come back to discussion on seasickness that happens. We're out. We're on a cruise Um happened to the cruise I was on wind started pick up and the ship swayed back and forth noticeably Yeah, we noticed a few times. It wasn't bad though Wasn't bad though Oh, yeah Yeah, I can't I can't really Let's play on my cute little guy. So we just knew we could So like that's like at night. That could be harder than to see I know I gotta be able to scroll through it Yeah, but how much is that when I'm kind of holding up to the camera? Well, you do it that Why don't you show it off your phone? So like that's at night, um before when we were in the club, that's us chilling Those are mini boats in bottles That's a view of the ocean, which you know, it's gonna look Yep, and there's a view down from my room Um, that is by the hot tub that has an overlook to the ocean Um, I don't know. I should take a picture of that. That's just like the pool area Ah, there's a picture of a different boat the Norwegian cruise ship That's behind us Um more looking out to pool areas Ocean as we're leaving Leaving port that's okay. Oh, this is wait. This is our cruise ship So that's our ship from the outside. Yeah, half of it. Yeah, and then that's a propeller inside getting on the ship Oh, this is probably before we get on. Oh, well that one's on that's on one of the walkways on one of the floors Yeah, looking up. This is Julia's favorite bridge Looking down at the casino Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's playmakers down there. Um Um, yep. That's in playmakers. Those are all the arcade machines and stuff There's our first drinks Uh, we have there hasn't actually been a buffet besides day one Yeah, so I guess they do have a lunch buffet today, but we won't yeah, because I think it's like three to half hours We just want to go back Anyways, so maybe we stop it. We I'm sure the lunch buffet is the same as it was the first day, which was a ton of different food Yeah, the ship's massive If you know if you ever look at the size of the titanic it could fit inside this ship No, it's not five times It's not five times the size of the titanic. It's like twice the size of the titanic It's twice the size He's like, I'm gonna look at it Come on twice the size There are bigger cruise ships in the moment on by the way Doing some research Um, you should eat a super hot pepper feeling the burn will take your mind off the seasickness Like the endorsement rush Nice. All right guys, so I want to thank you guys for tuning in. Let me see if I can shout all the super chats Or if they're not gonna show up, they might not show up Uh, did they show up on streamlabs? I don't think they showed up on streamlabs either. Let me see Nope, uh, maybe they will show up if I just log in to streamlabs Because right I'm out on my normal computer. So this isn't my normal setup So things don't always go The way I want I haven't streamed for I haven't streamed from this computer since e3 of 2019 the longest time The computer's not showing any aid yet though Because I already upgraded the ramp in it got 20 60 in this thing for 20 70 All right, let me uh, let me see here we had Later the super chat got it.
