 It's time for the E3 Betz session, a whole baby, this is awesome. All right, so before we get into anything else about E3 as I said we have a bonus bit at the end talking about the rest of E3. Alfred and myself have had to come up with five to six, I think six now, yes or no type of questions to ask our guests. All these questions are about E3 obviously. Here is how the writing special is going to work so you viewers and listeners listen up. There will be 12 bets taken down, six each from Alfred and Nate. When one of us asks a guest one of the questions, the answer to that question, if it turns out to be correct at E3, will garner the person who asked the question one point. As an example, if I ask Darren if the sky is going to be blue during E3 and he says yes and the sky is blue, that would be a point for me. If he says yes and it's not blue, it would be a point for Alfred. Just as an example, that's not one of the questions. That's awesome. Yeah, so either way, no matter what, someone gets a point for that answer. And what's interesting about this is we'll get to choose which person we want to ask these questions to. So the questions are obviously going to be asked to people that we are hoping will give us the answer that we think is correct because we're not answering these ourselves. Yeah. So there's going to be a total of 12 points up for grabs. If something crazy happens and we happen to have a tie, we'll settle that tie on the first podcast following E3. So not the podcast we're going to have during E3 because the bets after show, as I'll call it, will be the following weeks podcast. So two weeks from now. And then all of these bets are obviously associated with things that we do not know about E3, things that not even rumored about necessarily. It might be rumored, I guess, but just things that aren't sure fire bets that are going to be there not heavily hinted are going to appear. Yeah. So what makes this exciting, of course, is whoever wins gets massive bragging rights. That's always great. I want bragging rights. Don't we all? So this betting specialist just between me and Alfred, the host of this podcast, and if I win, baby, and I'm going to win, Alfred, here's what you're going to do. And for our listeners, he has no idea and I have no idea what the stakes are for this bet. So my stake to Alfred, if he loses, he has to record a video of himself, dressed as much as he possibly can as tingle, saying Kula Limpa as someone splashes his face with cherry Kool-Aid. Well, that's an incentive. That's right. So I'm going to win easily because, and you guys all want me to win, right? Because you want to see Alfred dressed as tingle and Kula thrown in his face, saying the infamous line. I mean, come on. I automatically have everyone in my corner now. Unless Alfred comes up with something. What's your stake against me? See, it's funny that you mentioned tingle because my thought, every idea I had is based around tingle. My thought was to have you do the next boss man episode dressed as tingle and calling everyone your pretty little fairies. And then ending it with Kula Limpa. Oh, it's beautiful. Oh, so is that the stake we're going with? Yeah. That's okay. So a boss man episode where I have to dress as tingle. Call everyone what again? You got to remind me. I'm totally forget. Basically act like tingle. Like everybody's your fairy. You're a 30 year old fairy. Okay. Okay. You believe you're a fairy. I find that different than any other boss man episode. I finally get to re-enact my hero. Is that every day? I don't know what you're talking about. So say, have you watched the boss man and kind of emulate my hero tingle? Oh, that's okay. I have a second idea that maybe I'll use it as a raise the stakes moment if we tie. Okay. Because the second idea is even better. All right. I'm glad that I went with the first one. I wasn't sure how much I should torture you yet. This is our first ever betting special at Zeldinformer. So yeah, I knew this to say it's only going to get worse from here, folks. It's exciting. Since I got to say my stake for this bet first, which is clearly I'm going to win. So I'll for better be ready. You can ask the first question, Alfred, to either of our guests. Oh, the confidence. Oh, hold on. Before you do that, before you do that. Oh, I'm very confident. I mean, I've let them ask all six rapid fire, but no. I got to get on my little pad here. Make sure I write down what the answers were. Okay, go ahead and ask your first question. Okay, so this is for a rabbit Luigi. Yep. Okay, so I, Nintendo always says something akin to this phrase, and I think that they will say it again this year. This is Nintendo will say it's something along the lines of, look forward for more exciting content in months to come. What is the question in that? Do you think that they'll say that? I do think they will say that, yes. Oh, Alfred, I should have added a caveat rule that I was thinking of at the time, but I never put it in here beforehand. It should be that we cannot influence the answers. But it's okay. It's okay because if we're influencing the answers, then we might as well not even ask other people. But that's okay. We'll still count that. That was not a rule up until that question. Oh, boy. Which one do I want to answer first? No, I need a surefire wind here. It's tense. This is very tense. That's some big stakes to this. All right, this is for you, rabbit Luigi. Oh, wow. Go back to the rabbit Luigi well. Put all the pressure on me. Go back to the rabbit Luigi well. Yes, yes, I am putting a lot of pressure on you. Will Nintendo unveil a new game during their live stream that has been previously unannounced? During their live stream. Oh, that's a good question. I'm going to say no because I'm feeling interesting. Solid pick. During a live stream? Solid pick right there. Probably not. Okay. All right. All right. I was very specific about that. All right, Alfred, it's your turn. Okay, Darren. Yes. Nintendo will announce the date of their next Nintendo Direct. Do you think that they'll do that? No. Sorry, I didn't write these as questions. I don't think so. Okay. Man, you got the kitty glows on. The kitty glows on, man. No, I'm asking my easy questions first. Oh, man. Oh, man. All right. I need another surefire win here. There's a lot of smack talk in this. It's incredible. I am not dressed as a table. This is not happening. I'm winning. All right. Darren. Yes. Will Nintendo say open world during their live stream over or under 15 times? Twist. I think they will say under 15 times. Okay. Okay. This one, I have no idea. I know they're going to say it. I just... Under, definitely under. Don't know how many. They might just... Like, that's all we've heard about this game is... How much do they want to push it? Surely they've got other things to talk about. I'm not very confident in Darren's answer to that. All right. Alfred, it's your turn. Okay. This has... Mine kind of has three answers to it. Three possible answers. Okay. So... No, no, no. Just listen to the next question. Yes, that's fine. You won a 33% chance. That's fine with me. All right. Okay. Rabbit Luigi. Yep. Will Square Enix show off Final Fantasy VII, the remake? Or will Sony, or will both of them show it off? I see why you made that a three-part question. I'm going to say both of them will. Oh, that's such a give me. It's another easy one. So you say that, but I had a reason for asking that question that you won't let me talk about. Because you just don't want me to win. That's it. Of course, I don't want you to win. All right. I'm going to ask this one of... You know what? No, no, no. I'm not even going to... I'm going to do it. This is... I'm going bold here. This is very bold. This is for Rabbit Luigi. Hold on something. This probably should be a daring question. But this is totally... I'm going Rabbit Luigi because I feel... I feel a little evil asking Darren this one. Oh, boy. All right. All right. Will there be over or under 250 posts made at Zeldin former? Not counting any content posted by our live at three crew from Tuesday through the end of day, Thursday, during E3. Over 250, did you say? Over under. Over or under, 250. That's interesting. Uh, I'm going to say... I can't ask Darren this. He knows. I would feel like cheating if I asked him. What if it's exactly 250? Then no one gets a point. I'm going to say under. Actually, no. Sorry, I wouldn't automatically go to Alfred. Oh, okay. Because you'd be wrong. You'd be neither. I'm still going to say under. You're going to say what? I'm going to say under. Oh, it's not the answer I want. All right. Oh, boy. I'm anticipating like 500 this year. I don't know. I'm not here. Maybe they'll be less. Beats me. All right. Alfred, it's your turn, bud. Okay. Darren. Yo. Do you think the reception for Zelda Wii U will be positive or negative? Positive. Oh, my God. I'm going to be negative. How bad would that have to be? You're supposed to be negative. Another delay. Oh, my gosh. Wait, wait, wait. Okay. I have to ask on this one. What metrics are we using to determine if it's positive or negative? Like overwhelmingly positive. Like I guess if you're scouring the internet and you see like IGN talking about it, GameSpot talking about it, look at like over media. Yeah, over media. I can be the judge of this by looking at the comment section of our posts. Like I can tell. Yeah, but no, no. He's not. He's saying media coverage. Okay. Yeah. Like like overall coverage for Zelda. I just didn't know like when I'm looking back, trying to figure out who did what. Like I just need to make sure that I know what I'm looking for for that. Okay. You'd be able to tell. It's just looking for loopholes so that he doesn't have to. Again, we're four questions deep and you have four very obvious answers. I just... No creativity. It upsets me. There's no creativity. Fine. Here's a creative one. This one's for Darren. Oh, yay. All right. Will Aisha Tyler, you know who she is, right? Treehouse, right? I can't tell you who she is. The Ubisoft woman. Oh, okay. Okay. Will Aisha Tyler, at any point during the Ubisoft press conference, go take a seat in the crowd? First of all, it's Ubisoft. Second of all, yes she will. Thank you. You're welcome. I think that's a surefire... I think that's a surefire win right there. That one's probably my surest bet so far. She's done it twice out of the four times she's done that. So, okay. You want... I can give you that nugget now. You already answered. You want a surefire one now? Oh my god. Will Zelda Wii U be an E3? If I lose, if I get slaughtered like six to nothing, 12 to nothing, guys, next betting special, it's on. Ask the dumbest questions. Hey, I asked if I could have stupid questions. So here's a really stupid question for Darren. Okay. Okay, I'm trying to say this with a straight face. Oh no. Do you think Half-Life 3 will be announced as an NX exclusive? Oh my gosh. As an NX exclusive. No creativity. That's creative. Repeat the question, repeat the question. Do you think Half-Life 3 will be announced as an NX exclusive? No, I do not think... Imagine if it did. Oh, the internet would crack in two. If I lose, if I lose, I want you to remember this question and think about, is this the kind of betting special you want? This betting special can change in the future. Not this time, but in the future. If you guys want it to be better. Just think about that question. Half-Life 3, even being announced, let alone NX. When the NX isn't even going to be talked about. Should that be disqualified? We already actually know. You said things we don't know, things we can't know. Yes, but we know NX. We know that NX is not going to be at E3. Nintendo is back in the 40s. They might announce a game for it. Like, Gabe Newell could just walk out and be like, Half-Life 3 for NX, and then walk off the stage. Who would do that without the NX ever being unveiled? Nintendo, because they're Nintendo. But Nintendo, if you have to come from Valve. Okay, so Valve and Nintendo do it. I mean, half of 3 being exclusive to anything is already a stupid question. But a console that's not even at E3, that's just... Miimoto just comes out like... You know what, I'll allow it. I'll allow you to have your free win on that one. Fans, let me know if I should allow that one. Because that seems like a low blow. We already know NX is not going to be. I hope I'm right, and that it will be. Like, I hope I'm wrong. Yeah, you can hope all you want. I mean, this is the podcast, the E3 podcast. It's for hopes and dreams. But, um, man... That is the wildest bit of clothes and dreams I've heard in a long time. Fans, please help me come up with stricter rules for future betting sessions. I can already tell. I might as well just go start making a homemade ting or coffee right now. They look good, they work. But you know what, that's okay. You know what? I do have two questions left. I think there's going to be a couple wins in my court. And I figured if Alfred just get a couple of his wrong, I might just have this. Even though I asked the harder questions, I think I got this. So, this one, I'm going to ask Ravind Luigi. Yup. Because something just tells me that he pays more attention to this company than Darren has. Wow, okay. Good to. I'm probably wrong. But that's just a feeling. This is what happens when you don't really know a person. Yeah, I just have a sense about the question. Take a wild guess. The instinct. Will Sony announce a PlayStation Slim Edition? Anything. And it doesn't have to be called PlayStation Slim, just like a smaller version of the current. A smaller, light version of the PlayStation. Uh... Yes. Yes. Oh, that's a good question. I'm going to say yes. Interesting. That's a good question. That is how you play this game. I'm personally torn on that one. That is a good question. I'm personally torn on that one. I would have said no. Because like, there's like these rumors of like Xbox out there, like doing that. And I just don't know, I mean, Sony might just have the PS4K and just be done with it. But I don't know. They have a history of it. Does it specifically have to be a Slim of... If you pay attention to it, you have a history of it. Lighter version. Okay. Just be a different version of the PS4. Yeah. It's just a smaller version of the current PlayStation 4. All right. In some way. In some way. All right. I think this is... Yeah. This is our final question for the best right now. Okay. Alfred. This one, I've been like thinking about it for a while ever since this was kind of announced. I was going to ask, I'm going to reward it because Nate's crying about easy questions and stuff. So, I'll give this one to Rabbit Luigi. Will Sony's project with Kojima's productions be a spiritual successor to Metal Gear or will it be something completely new? I'm thinking it'd be something completely new with sort of nods back to Metal Gear. So, the spiritual successor one, but also a bit of the first one, mainly the spiritual successor answer. Is this the one or the other? Yeah. Second one. It'll be a spiritual one. Okay. So, something completely new. Yes. Something completely new. I forget if it was second or first, but something completely new, basically. Okay. Yeah. I will say that too. Got that. Got that. Got that. Yeah. Do we know if that game even being shown off? That was my... That was one of my questions was like, do we think that they'll show it off at E3? Because they've talked about it a lot and keep revealing logos after logo. Show it off. Yeah. Okay. Okay. No, no, that's cool. I like that question. That's actually a difficult one. I like how you phrased it. Finally, a legit question. Hey, Half-Life 30 Man. Something that isn't just super obvious. We built there in the end. It's going to happen. All right. Will Zelda Wii U be published by Nintendo? I have all these interesting ones. You can find out next week. Now, should I give this last one the rabbit we drew, Darren? Me? Who? Because he got the last two. You know, Darren, you were talking about getting Xbox One. Yes, I was. I have one. So you're probably paying a lot of attention to Microsoft, Fresco. I actually have been paying a lot of attention to both Microsoft and Sony. Oh, you shouldn't have gave me that information. Well, now you're an easy pick for this last question. Now that jeopardizes the operation. I know. Well, you know what? I need to win here. Okay. And even then, this is still an impossible question. Will there be over or under six brand new game reveals between Sony and Microsoft's press conferences not counting indie titles? Oh, not counting indie. Wow. That changes it. Oh, good. Yeah. I was going to say over, but then the indie question. Because indie, they can do like a sizzle reel and have like 50 games and that sizzle reel. So I'm like, I don't want, I don't want that 50 games sizzle reel, man. I want, you know, B tier, A tier, AAA tier, games exclusive. By the way, it's just new game reveals. I'm going to say over. Oh, I shouldn't have arrived with the video. I was going to say ever as well. Where you would you have said under hot? Okay. He was going to say over to I was how how. Oh, most of Sony's press conference. We already know it's going to be in it. See, it's like the same conference from last year with more stuff. I just really want to see you in a tingle suit and hardware. You want to what? Do I ask him to repeat that? Not to undermine the operation, a tingle suit. Let's undermine this operation at all. But, you know, it wants to see you in a tingle suit. Really? Have you seen videos of me, man? You want to see me in any sort of tight clothing? Seen a lot worse. It's just not good. Do you want me to ask a substitute question, Nathan? Would that make you feel better? A what? A question to substitute for my Half-Life 3-1. You know what, was that question five for you, your Half-Life 1? Yeah. Let's, here's what we'll do for that question. Because I honestly, I might be trying to be mean about it. I just don't know if that question should count. I'm going to let our fans decide. So like when you guys listen to this podcast in the comments, let us know if his Half-Life 3 question exclusive to NX should count. If the overwhelming majority say no, then we'll substitute this one. I have an idea. How about if it's right and Half-Life 3 somehow is in NX exclusive, he gets a point. I'll say that right now. He wins automatically. Okay. He'll get a point. But if it doesn't happen, then no one gets a point. How's that fair to me? It's not. I just want to see you in a tingle suit. The whole point is if it doesn't happen. No, I know you. No, it's just substitute question. We'll let the fans decide about it. Okay, Robert Luigi, but you have a job now. You have to make sure that everybody says that that question counts so that we can see him in a tingle suit. There's no pressure on this question. I'm going to have to put up a poll for it to make sure we can get the count right. All right. Okay. Do you think, okay, this is for, I guess I'll end this last one towards Robert Luigi again. Yep. Do you think that Nintendo's going to talk more about, I know that this isn't a press conference, but do you think they're going to mention the newer roles for like Miyamoto and Reggie? Like, do you think they'll mention that at all? I'm going to say no, not in the press conference. Not 83. Okay. No tension on that at all because everyone will say that the Half-Life 3 question counts. No, the reason that that's a safe one in my mind is that Reggie didn't give up his current titles at Nintendo to get the title, the new title he has, so he's still going to be introduced. Like, the only hope is that when he gets introduced that, you know, they would say that they would use his new title instead of saying president. What is his new title anyway? He's on some special board now at like the top tier. Yeah, but is he like something fellow? No, no, that wasn't the old, that fellow was after Mr. Iwata sadly passed. They started using fellows to describe things. No, they're restructuring everything. The reason why I think this is a safe one, and I'm going to allow this question because it's so much less ridiculous than the original, is that all these positions are completely unconfirmed. These changes have not happened yet. They happened on June 29th. They haven't been voted on by the shareholders yet. So no one actually has these titles yet. But see, that was something that I didn't know as an audience member. Yeah, but like they want to have them. So, you know, they could use it that as a media opportunity. I will get this, if you said no, right? If it's yes, and I'll give this to you. If even if while he's on screen, they have that little bar under his name. So it's Reggie Fieseme, president of Nintendo of America, slash that. Then it goes to you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You don't give me. No, no, that's a mention. That is an on-screen mention of the position. So yeah. No, I know you get that point. No, no, no. Oh yeah, I would. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I was saying. Why do you have to give that to me? I said no. I was saying that happened at E3, baby. I'd get that either way. Yeah, I know that counts towards you. Yeah, it ain't going to happen though. So oh my gosh, I just got slaughtered. I better hope that all of my way out there, weird questions, I just nail every single one. That's my only hope. I'm praying for a tie, baby. I'm praying for a tie because folks, if there is a tie, we get up the stakes even more. So we get to do what we originally said in addition to something more. You're both wet Tingle suits. And I know Alfred has more. Yep. I have more. We need to set parameters for the questions after that then. Because I asked you. Yeah, well you know what? We'll let our fans help us out with that maybe a little bit. I asked you like, what kind of questions do you want? You're like, oh, just pick some yes or no questions. Yeah, boy, because I didn't know. This is our first ever betting special. I thought you're going to come at me hard and you're like, no. Here's the easiest questions I could think of. All right, that's okay, everybody. That is our E3 betting special. We're just going to lock all that in right now. All right, it's locked.
