Oh, that's, that's awesome. That's awesome to hear too,
especially that it touched you emotionally because now I know I'm not a woman.
Um, and I didn't just cry for no reason.
Hey.
Well, you know what I mean? Hey, in general, you know what I mean?
speaking of the cuff, this.
20,
20 I'm ING a you canceled right now or at 2022.
Yeah. Yeah. I don't even know what year it is right now.
.
Listen to me guys.
Warning. The following podcast is intended for immature.
Dad's only listener discretion is advised.
This is dad's game review, the most casual, hardcore gamers around
reviews and news from every platform
we waste our time. So you don't have to.
What's up dads. Welcome to another level of dad's game review.
I am Paul quiche and I am joined by a special guest,
host a friend from another job. Her name's Nick Nicolet. How you doing Nicki?
Hi.
Paul. Thank you. Happy to be here. So excited to, you know,
be here talking to you, be on a podcast first podcast ever. So we help very,
very first.
. Yeah. Well,
I invited Nikki on because I'd been begging her to play the last of us for
months and I, I had to dangle the podcast. Yes.
And I finally did. .
, you know, IED dangle,
the seven listener podcast that I have, uh, in front of her before she was like,
yeah, sure. Let's do it.
So so technically not a dad.
It wasn't the podcast.
oh, okay. All right. .
But I could be someone's daddy.
Uh, gross. Anyway. Uh
so, uh, we played the last of us. This is gonna be,
this episode is gonna be in two parts. It's gonna be, um,
actually the last of us I'm playing the last of us,
part one on my PlayStation five,
she played the last of us remastered on her plays station four.
And then next week, actually me and John, uh,
are gonna talk about it in more detail, uh,
like about what he thought,
cuz he's gonna tell me what he thought of the last of us,
cuz I don't stop talking about the last of us. I mean, on this show at least,
and people are probably tired of hearing me. Um,
I'm gonna let Nikki,
I'm gonna let you go first and you tell me your initial thoughts
like.
Initially. Wow. Um,
honestly I was very impressive, you know,
it's an older game, um, and it's being remastered, but yeah,
first time playing and I cried. I legitimately wow.
Hide shed some tears. Um,
the story is phenomenal and gameplay is gameplay.
Is there too. So I just thoroughly enjoyed it. Yeah. I just really did.
It was it's amazing because I always talk to people and I always say it's the
first game that made me feel, believe it or not. Um,
like.
Yeah.
It's, it's funny because it,
it just goes without saying like, I,
I have always played games my entire life and you know,
there was no real story or anything. In fact,
I like to play this music in the background, uh,
when I'm talking about the past. Um,
so in my day there was no,
like there was no games that would make you feel or anything like that.
You just play the game, you know, to reach a million. If you were in the arcade,
you could have your initials up on the board. Um,
or you just played it just for hobby, you know?
And then as games progressed over the years, um, you know,
they had stories to them and they, they, you know,
there was no more manuals in the video games.
So like you had to experience the story yourself.
And I remember I was home and I was playing this game.
This game was given to me, um,
when I had cancer and I was doing nothing but sitting at home
and you know, having a pity party and ,
and my friend came over and he's like, you gotta play this game,
you gotta play this game. And I was like, eh, right, whatever.
And it sat on next to my TV forever. And then when I played it,
it just like, it just, I, I can't even describe what it is.
It just involves you in the story right out of the right outta the gate.
It makes you feel, you know, it makes you feel for the character, um,
and everything like that,
you know how he loses his daughter and then he's got a cart Ellie around.
Um,
and from there he starts to feel like Ellie's his daughter,
you know.
Mm-hmm yeah, no, definitely. It's it.
They really do a great job on making you, you said,
feel something, you know,
really getting you into the game and making the storyline and the reasons for
what you're doing, the, all the missions that you're going on, have purpose,
wanna continue, even if it does get challenging and hard,
like you wanna make it to the capital city,
you wanna continue moving forward cuz you're seeing the progression. So yeah,
no definite.
Yeah, totally. And I just, you know, like I,
I don't know, like just I've praised this game forever and ever,
and ever I've spoken to people about it and like, I, I, um,
I was talking to somebody at work. I dunno if you remember Brandon,
but I was talking to somebody at work and uh,
he was like, guy.
Hi Brandon.
Yeah. I doubt he's listening.
Uh but I was talking to him at work and uh,
he's like, yeah, he goes, that game has a special place in my heart.
And I was like, are you kidding me too? You know?
Like it was like such a connection. And uh, it,
I just wonder if it touched everybody this way. I mean, yeah.
It's won over 200 different video game awards when it first came out. Uh,
so obviously that's gotta say something and um.
Yeah.
But they, but they were people that shoot it down too, you know,
just like any other game. Um,
I have a friend of mine who cross.
Course there's gonna be criticism for everything.
Oh yeah, totally, totally. Sorry. No, no. Yeah.
I'm sorry about the delay guys. Um,
we have to do the CNN thing where we both like nod after we talk and
just didn't know. We said something screw you Skype.
Um, so
but other than that, I mean, I, yeah, I, so here's the thing,
Nick, let me tell you something are you sitting down?
This is the big.
Tell me all right. Yes. I'm sitting down.
We, so I've been waiting for this remake to come out and every well,
the whole time they were like, this remake is gonna be completely different.
This is this, this is that blah, blah, blah. Right.
And then I went on to, I went online. I was like, oh wow, remade.
Now this is gonna be the third remake of this game.
It came out for PlayStation three. Um,
they remade it for PlayStation four and now they remade it again for PlayStation
five. And I was like, wow, okay.
I really want to get this game. I have to admit that the,
I was a little put off by the $70 they charged for this game.
I don't know if you knew this or not, but yeah, mm-hmm I mean,
have you ever paid for a game? That's a remake that was full price game.
No,
so actually I was streaming this game last night and that came up.
Oh.
Really? So a lot of like how you said, um,
did it touch people the way it's touched you?
And the answer is most definitely because more than seven people that
I can name right now told me I need to play this game and that it had a huge
impact on them and they love it and stand by it. Oh.
But as I was streaming last night, one of the criticisms definitely was okay.
Yeah.
$70 for a remake of the same game play that you're gonna have.
You've played this on right. PlayStation three, four, and now five. Right.
You know how many times can you play this game?
Right.
I have played this game about four times all the way through that?
That's how.
Yeah. That seems about right.
That's how awesome I love this game. I mean, it's just so real to me.
And it has so many facets of it. Just the story. I don't know.
Maybe it's cuz I'm a dad that it relates to me.
But when you told me that you were actually touched by it,
I wish I would've watched the stream last night. I wasn't really doing anything.
And then I, um, thought to myself, oh, well I'll just turn on switch.
But I was a little high
and it,
the time got away from me and I looked down at my clock again and it was 1130
and I was like, damnit, I forgot I forgot to press,
press Twitch on my app. No. So.
Um, no worries. No worries. There's always the vibe. So you can check that out.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
That's true to me. Yeah. No, the, um, daughter, um,
connections and relationships, movies, games, anything like that?
Tugs at my heart string strings mean my dad had a really strong
bond. Right. He's now passed. So that kind of connection.
It's just, oh, I'm like, no, no. ,
it's so beautiful, you know?
Right, right. Oh man. Yeah. No. So I, um,
so yeah, so when I first saw it and I thought that was rumors,
I thought the $70 thing, I thought that was just haters, just going,
nah, you know, blah, blah, blah. You know, like it's gonna be a full game.
But when it actually came out and I looked in the PlayStation store,
especially in the pre-orders and it said $69, I was like,
well this has gotta be like some type of collector piece,
which I wanted to get to in a minute because I have to say I'm a little
disappointed in Sony on this end. But when it came out and I was like,
the collector one is $99. And I was like,
so the king is $69. And I was just like, man,
I wanted this on day one and everything,
but it actually took me like about three or four days before I pulled the
trigger. Um, mainly cuz I had to wait till I got paid,
but also because it was a lot of money, it was like,
I, I know what's gonna happen. I know how the story ends. I'm like, why,
why are they doing this? You know,
which also adds to the thing that I read online,
where a lot of people who ordered the collector's edition came
in like a tin, you know, those collector's editions. A lot of people who are,
are really big fans ordered the collectors and they came,
shipped in a very like chintzy envelope
where so much so where the product was damaged and then Sony made an
announcement that they're not replacing any of them,
you know and it to me. Yeah. And it felt like a real Dick move.
Um, I mean, I don't know the reasoning why they said that.
Yeah. With how much.
Yeah, yeah.
With how much money they're making from a remastered remastered game.
.
Yeah, I know. And.
They're charging 70 and a hundred dollars. Oh my gosh.
They they're making enough money.
They've made enough money off of it to be able to replace tin
can. Yeah.
they totally get,
and that's what blew me away because I was like, what,
what do you mean not replacing them? Like they they're better than this.
But then again, uh,
the second piece of news I heard was that they didn't make as many sales as
they thought they were going to on the remake. So it could be,
they're trying to keep the, the bottom line up. I don't know. I don't know.
I don't work there. I'm definitely not a businessman.
So I don't really have anything to say other than my opinion. But um,
yeah.
That's also one of the things that bothered me about what we talked about and
like, I mean, so let me get into the game a little bit. So
the game is gorgeous and when you hear this,
it's such a general term people use term.
So like, like, so, um, it,
now people will say, dude, you're genius, you know, and you're not,
you're just you know what I mean? Like, oh, maybe.
To them, you are.
Compared all words. There's, you know, it's like,
I just got you a couple of straws, you know, like
am I though? Am I genius? Nah, I don't. I don't. I just,
I just thought two steps in their book. Yeah. Right.
So people use words. So flippantly that I,
and for me, one of them is gorgeous. When I say a game is gorgeous. I mean,
it's something you have to see. But when I saw this game,
I couldn't, I literally couldn't believe my eyes. Uh,
when I turned this game on Nick, I was just like,
so blown away at the detail that they
put into it. I mean, I was thinking remastered.
They were gonna like smooth over some pixelated areas and they were
gonna shade this and do that.
But they literally went painstakingly,
seen by scene and recreated this game
and I went, okay, all right. So the $70 I get it,
like, you know, you just, you just like, I get that.
Yeah. They put, they put their $70 worth into it.
Oh my God. It's they built the game from the ground up. I mean they, the,
the sure the framework was there and everything was there,
the story they just had to rebuild it. They just rebuilt it graphically,
like so much so that I,
there were certain parts of the background that you
walk into and you think you can interact with that's how clear it is.
yeah. Wow. I mean the plays station five alone is gorgeous. I mean,
I dunno if you've ever seen anything on it, like in target or anything.
I personally got it as a gift, so I can't say that I went out and bought it.
Um, but.
Yeah, Paul, just go ahead and flex on me. Okay. Meet with my jet plane, PS4.
Okay. Taking off on a ship, you.
Know, but you sounds like.
About the burn and the outer space.
But you have that, that, uh, that amazing PC in front of you. So I can't talk.
Um um,
but it's just so gorgeous. Everything. Like I play death stranding,
like everything you play has so much detail that you're like, man,
look at this game, but it's only effective to like gamers,
gamers only have this real, um, have this real reaction to it.
Like,
cuz I'll show it to people like who don't play video games and they'll be like
me, you know, they'll just shrug their shoulders and be like, yeah, it's,
it's a video game, you know but um,
yeah, but overall yeah, the game is just gorgeous. So,
so I retract part of my re um,
my resistance to buy the game and say, I get it,
you know but not a hundred percent. Yeah. I mean,
they still could have charged 50 bucks and it still,
it probably would've sold more. Um, but it was, I could see the, even.
On the PlayStation, sorry, or, or CNN talking.
I'm so sorry.
no worries. Go ahead. I cut you off now. You I'll wait.
right. I was gonna say the PlayStation four,
honestly. Well not having played it before I, I thought the graphics were,
I thought it looked well. Um, everything clear.
I was really amazed with how the overgrown
scenes were. The one thing that I really enjoyed,
there was a pool table that had overgrown with Ivy and.
Stuff. Right. I.
Just thought that was a really cool,
like ju juxtaposition of like the old world and like nature
overgrowing. And I just, it looked awesome to see all these buildings.
Like right, right.
Completely come.
Yeah. No, I totally, um, I totally, that was.
Very, uh.
Sorry. My wife walked in I, um,
it, it happens.
It happens almost every episode and I'm sure my listeners are tired of hearing
me explain this, but people will come in and I'll go, Hey,
I'm recording an episode and then you'll hear, you know, like,
and then the door cuz I recorded my closet cuz it's the best sound.
Um, and I'll hear like a knock and uh, and my wife will,
oh, oh are you, are you recording? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm sorry.
Um, can you just remember to take the garbage out, uh, when you're done? Yeah.
Oh, oh, it's live right now. Yeah. Yeah.
It's kind of live and even though
it's not, um, uh, what you McCall,
even though it's not what you McCall, even though it's not, it it's uh,
it's not recording live and I can edit it. Uh, I'm lazy.
I don't like to scrub through and listen for it,
so I just let it happen and it just go through.
Well, you know, there's things that you can do.
You can clock it and see what time it is,
how we're recording and go and snip it like that. Just write a little note here.
So here I'll remind you 30, 35.
Too much work. You lost me at, you know what you can do.
I don't have this kind of time that you have Nick, you know,
where I just get to sit around all day and think of things.
Right.
I have things to do like garbage to take out and you know,
married things. Yeah. Uh
now I do. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I go living.
Over here, living the Kush life.
Yeah. Yeah.
.
So, uh, the more,
you know what, um, so what you do is, so basically yeah,
so the graphics are amazing. Um,
everything about the game so far is amazing. I'm nowhere near the end. I mean,
I just keep, I played like two hours a day so far and I'm still like,
I find myself still getting stuck,
had the same spots I did when I played it on the PS four
you know, like just like, oh man, how did I beat this guy? You know?
I don't know if you ever, you didn't get up to, um, bill yet. Right? Uh,
his friend bill that they had to go to.
No, I'm not at bill yet.
Okay. Yeah. He, um, yeah, he's an old friend of, uh,
Joel and they go to find him because he's mechanical. He Ninos mechanics,
but he's just a paranoid vet from like the Vietnam war or something like that.
You know, , he's just Uhhuh, but he's a super nice guy and he's,
he's really cool to get to. But anyway,
I bring him up because you get to this part where you're running through a high
school and this monster comes out.
That's like four clickers blended into one
and it's like eight feet five.
And they call them B blowers and uh, they even talk about it.
You know, all's like, what the hell is that thing?
And it's apparently clickers that just keep mutating. Uh,
cuz they don't some clickers die on their own,
but some of them mutate even further and they turn into these huge
B blowers as they're called.
And they bloat them because like they throw
like parts of themselves at you. And it comes out as like a dust.
Uh, and it's like a virus, like, you know the virus, but you have,
you have your, um, you know, you have your mask on and stuff. So it doesn't,
I mean, it still takes away your energy, but you still have your mask on.
So it doesn't attract you. But even after you kill it,
which takes every piece of ammunition you have
literally like it has like, it takes everything.
You shotguns your guns. Uh, later on you have like a bomb,
like a makeshift bomb that's made outta nails, you know? Um,
that bill shows you how to make, which is pretty cool. Uh,
and then when he's dead he's.
How does.
The mall loads.
just go or.
What's that? Say that again? Start over. Cuz it blocked out.
Oh, um, how are the Molo tops against the B blowers?
And I haven't gotten there.
They are great. I.
Plan to get there, but.
It's hard to tell because he keeps coming. So, okay.
It's hard to like tell when he's dying or how, you know how, like,
I don't know if you've experienced this or not,
but you take like a pipe and you're hitting, uh,
let's say a clicker with the pipe, you know, after hitting them,
like with the pipe, like three times, uh, they're gone, right?
The blo you can't even get near it. Yeah. You get near it.
He rips your head off, you know?
So you have to do it from a distance and I've done so far is throw three
Molotovs at this thing and it still comes at you and it charges at you like a
quarterback and it it's it's this thing is, it's a beast. So .
I'm looking forward to it. Thanks.
are you really gonna play it more? Cause people say that to me.
All.
The time. Yeah .
No, I definitely am. And like I said, being a streamer this game, um,
a lot of people love it and I got really great engagement. I enjoyed playing it.
The storyline and writing is great. It was just a lot of fun.
So I definitely see myself finishing this.
Game. Oh, okay. Cool.
Most likely go into the second one.
Well,
I'll tell you what that brings us to a part of the game where we
talk about the good, the bad and the ugly,
unless you have anything else you want to add about the game.
Ready to go into it. Let's get into it, Paul. All.
Right. Sounds good.
Well,
this is part of the game called the it's part of the segment of the podcast
called good, bad and ugly. That theme music is so far not being, uh,
we've we've not gotten a cease desist yet from every Western in the fifties.
So we're just gonna keep using it.
That's that music is from a Western called high noon and it's,
it's, you know,
two people ready to like about to do a shootout in front of each other. Um,
but this is the, this is a part of the podcast, the segment called good,
bad and the ugly where we talk about the game. Good.
The game's bad and the game's ugly. I'm gonna, I mean,
I don't even, all I've been talking about is how good this game is. So I'm not,
I'm personally gonna skip the good, um,
aside from what you added about the story writing and the, just the graphics.
I mean, this is going, I'm talking about, uh,
the last of us part one and Nikki's talking about the last of us remastered.
So why don't you tell me you're good. Uh, after I've just,
uh, talked about everything, most of the podcast .
yeah, but so the good for me, um,
I definitely,
I liked how everything flows our initially they get you
invested emotionally, how we talked about you are ready,
you cry. And the, the story progresses, I love the progression,
the investment. Um,
and honestly the mechanics of it are very, for me,
I'm not entirely sure what it's called, um,
but kind of like the vision desk where you're able to kind of lock on
things, you know, it's, it's, it's not a run gun game,
which I'm typically kind of used to, if there's any sort of, uh,
weapons in it, I'm like, let's go full, full guns,
loaded let's blast in. Right.
But quickly I learned that is not the way to go.
You should probably slow down. But no, I really, I really enjoyed that pace,
you know, a slower pace. Right.
And having to use your brains instead of just running and gunning.
So I really enjoyed that aspect. Um, there's a lot of sneaking. Um,
and like I said, just the slower pace. Um.
Did you meet up with tests?
Have a brain puzzle? I did, yes. Okay. I got,
I got with te I have Ellie and so we're,
we're making our way through, uh, the Trek and trying to get to the,
the city capital.
Oh, okay. All.
Right. Yeah, we're it. I, yeah, I definitely, I,
I got some way station trying to get through,
so that's where I ended. Um, I played about four hours of it.
I did struggle at some point so I had to play a couple scenarios
multiple times and wow. Like that's when I learned, Hey,
you should probably be sneaking around .
just, don't jump on the scene,
your shotgun and just blast everything. Yeah. I know. I do the same thing too,
cuz I get, yeah. I tend to get impatient and I go, oh,
I could figure let's just go give me the shotgun, you know,
they just start blasting and then like 40 clickers come out,
you know cause they all heard you. Yeah. Yeah. .
Yeah. It's not, you know, and I, I really like the ability to, um,
craft, you know, being able to craft that your,
that you are picking up. So the how kit, the shifts,
I thought that was really cool, you know? Right. Um, yeah,
I really I'm enjoying it all, all of it as a, as a whole. Um,
I think they've done really well.
Oh, that's, that's awesome. That's awesome to hear too,
especially that it touched you emotionally because now I know I'm not a woman.
Um, and I didn't just cry for no reason.
Hey.
Well, you know what I mean? Hey, in general, you know what I mean?
speaking of the cuff. Yeah. This.
Is 2020. I'm probably get you canceled right now or 2022.
Yeah. Yeah. I don't even know what year it is right now.
Listen to me guys.
Uh, but no, I I'm the same.
The good was everything about the game you could craft. That's what I like too.
You could craft things. Um, it comes good in the pinch.
I will talk about a bad that I don't like. Well,
the bad that I will talk about, I'll add in there.
What we spoke about was the price. Um, that was the bad to me,
at least. And for that's for part one, the, the, uh, PS five version.
But what I also didn't like was,
I don't know if you found this out or not, but to me,
the there's never enough ammo laying around
you're you'll walk around with like just a Shiv
for like two scenes
before you find ammo. Yes. And you're like,
are you kidding me right now? Like, , there's like,
there's like six B blowers over there. Like, what am I gonna.
So yeah. Yeah. No, definitely. I completely agree with that one.
Yeah. So that, that was a little bad for me. Um,
I can't say that I have any ugly,
other than now, have you found a work bench yet?
Have you gotten to a point where you can work on your guns?
No, not yet.
Okay.
There's a part where you there's random work benches where you go up to it
and you it's always, when it's a downtime,
obviously there's never anything.
It's always like when you finish killing off and they go, oh,
I guess that's the rest of them. That's how, you know,
it's time to look around for like ammo and stuff.
But on occasion you'll find a garage and you'll find a work bench and you'll go
to the work bench and it allow you to upgrade your reload time,
your firing rate, you know, with, do you ever find those,
um, looks like nuts and bolts laying around and you pick them up. Yeah.
Yeah. That's what it's used.
For. Yeah. Bunch of those that.
I've collected. Yeah. So you'll go to a work bench and it'll say,
you wanna make your gunfire faster. It's gonna take 20 nuts and bolts.
It doesn't say nuts and bolts, but it just says 20, you know, and you,
and you go in there and you just like any, this little segment takes place,
you know, where he is,
like he takes out a screwdriver and he just starts that to me is a little
odd. Like if he has disability, why is he waiting for a workbench? Like,
why can't that be when he kneels down and does something, you know,
like that's a little annoying, but at the same time I get it.
I, I guess it increases, you know, it gives, it gives the game more like, uh,
latency. Like you, you know what I mean? So mm-hmm,
, mm-hmm um.
Yeah, definitely for me. Um.
Yeah, that's the only ugly I really have the bad and ugly.
The, um, the bad that I agreed with with you is like,
not being able to find that ammo. Um,
but I just took that more as I wasn't supposed to use my gun,
that I was supposed to sneak around and find work around or use bricks
or bottles to kind of smash on them,
throw and I have to craft these things. So, I mean, I, like I said,
it,
it gives you the option that you can engage in combat,
or you can be stealthy and sneak and not even engage in combat at all,
if you're able to do that. Right. So I just took, I'm like, okay,
we don't have ammo. Um, I guess I'm not gonna shoot anybody,
but it would be a lot better.
I think of an experience if they did give you sufficient ammo to
actually combat and right. Complete the mission with that ammo.
So yeah, I definitely, uh, completely agree with that.
Well, some people are a bad shot like me.
I usually you do four,
usually four bullets go into the ground before I actually hit somebody's
kneecap, you know? So I'm pretty, so I kind of appreciate it.
It actually taught me how to aim better, especially in video games, you know,
like, and it frustrates me too, cuz uh,
somebody will be coming at me and I'll just be like P P and it'll go nowhere.
And I'll be like, are you freaking kidding me? like, are you kidding me?
Like I know I'm not this bad. Like, and it'll frustrate me.
.
Did you know? I don't know if this is, uh.
Yeah. That's why you got the Shiv. You'll instantly get them out. yeah.
Oh, the Shiv also opens doors that you, uh, that are,
did you happen to experience that?
Yeah, I did. I was like, wow.
And I am very upset though,
because another thing is I thought that I could use a Shiv multiple times,
but if I use them on runners or clickers that they instant they're done
after one.
One shift is that yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. You know, they're not,
they're not crash made, you know, they're not, they're not from the home Depot.
There are things that you put together from stuff laying around the street,
you know? So.
I'm very crafty. Okay.
they're trying to keep it real Nick, you know,
they're trying to keep it real. Like you find a half a scissor.
It doesn't go a long way, you know but um,
yeah, no, but that's, that's pretty much all I got. I want you to,
um, I want you to plug your streams and all your little social things.
Where can people find you?
Uh, you can find me on in Instagram,
TikTok and Twitch at and, and, uh,
discord at goo that's G H O S T O with three
underscore.
I am a variety shaver.
I think I'm kind of funny sometimes then. Yeah,
come hang out and chit chat and I don't know,
say a hi make friends.
Thank you. Thank you. That was, that was great.
No, seriously, if you wanna reach out,
you could always talk at us on the Twitter thing at dad's game review
at dad's game review. I think that's about all we have or you can email me. Um,
I'm so done with Facebook. I dunno about you, but it's such a waste. Like I I'm,
I wanna start a, I mean,
I have a Twitch account and that's also at dad's game review,
but we're really on it. We have a TikTok that's at dad's game review as well,
but I don't have content like on a regular basis I'm usually working
or cleaning or something.
Like I gotta get into that or I gotta hire like a social media getting.
Not the trash.
Trash. Yeah. You know that too. So he's gotta walk to the corner.
Um.
Yeah. I didn't even know Facebook was still a thing. .
Really that it just,
it kills me that I don't know. I just,
I haven't been on it in months. Literally. I just stopped. It's just,
it feels like, it feels like catnip for old people. It just .
It's it is.
It's just people.
It is yeah.
Over certain age, just bitching back and forth and making comments,
you know, behind the keyboard, you know, I'm just like, I'm done, I'm done.
I haven't even opened it and whatever. So you.
Could just go to next door for that.
yeah.
my wife signed me up for the next door and it's the most distracting
thing. And it's just like, I, I can't do this.
I can't I just wanna make everybody aware that
somebody's sprinkler is on and it's kind of encroaching on my
property. So you might wanna go around the sidewalk.
like really?
It's ridiculous.
I, I just live in a land. Oh my God. I have some good stories about that. Yeah.
I just, you know, I just,
they just can't wait to get on their keyboard. Just like, I need to tell people,
this is how this is gonna,
whoever has a brown dog that is peeing.
There's keyboard. Warriors.
Yeah. That is pee on my crotch.
Yeah. Like , it's being on my garbage can.
Um, so what else,
what are you playing this week other than, uh, are you,
you gonna play less of us for the rest of the week or are you gonna,
what are you gonna stream?
Um, so I don't typically have a full, uh,
set schedule, but definitely I'll be playing last of us, most likely.
Um, at least one or two out of the three times I stream. Um, I have,
I play a lot of horror type games. Okay. So I try to find,
I have like inside the back rooms, uh, that's really fun.
So I do that with a couple of friends, which has been,
I try to do things like that. There's also cold to the lamb. Um, okay. Rising.
There's a deadly night one. So yeah.
I just kind of filter through whatever I'm kind of in the mood for, but right.
Definitely last of us is going be.
No more Eldon ring.
That's how I feel. I actually played some elder during.
Uh, today. That's the, that's the se we played that.
And I extracted that sound from when you die, you know? Cause yeah,
I was making a joke with my cohost. I was like,
this is pretty much all you hear when I play it.
Just me dying. That's that's all I.
That's just my life.
Yeah. .
It's ridiculous. You know, I,
I have I'm three bosses before finishing that game becoming
Eldon Lord. So I I'm like trying to for,
I just say I'm.
Right.
I know you get so frustrated. Those games are like, people will,
this is the thing
people tell me I have to play a game, but I always go do I though,
you know?
And I purchased Eldon ring and I just kind of played like about an hour and a
half. And I was like, you know, it's never been my thing,
Dungeons and dragons type. I know it's not that, but I'm just saying,
I'm just generalizing it like those types of games.
They've never really been my thing. Although I did like destiny for a while,
so I did play that. Um, but yeah,
no, you know, like I just never really, I never got into those games, but I,
I spent the 70 bucks anyway and it just sits there in my digital library,
just hanging out, you know? Uh.
I, I recommend you playing it.
It definitely time consuming.
I put 173 hours into the game.
So I can say that I definitely got my $70, but yeah,
it's fresh writing. Oh.
So it puts me to the game, puts me to sleep.
Good.
The game puts me to sleep. I'm sorry. Oh.
Okay.
It's a good thing.
We work together cuz she'll be punching me the next time we were on shift
together. She'll be like, like sucker punch me.
I nowhere and.
Just all.
Here. Yeah. Just.
Ugh. Picking your kneecaps.
but that's all I got. I'm gonna put,
um, I'm gonna, usually,
this is the part where I tease what we're doing next week,
but you won't be here unless you wanna be to talk more about the last of us. Um,
we are, uh, next week, Dean,
John are gonna play more the last of us and we're gonna talk
more in detail. Hey, and John's not gonna finish it just like me,
you know, cuz we give each other a week to play a game.
Very rarely do we play a game? Uh, do you have a switch by the way?
I do.
Uh, last week we played a game called lost in play.
Uh, and it was,
it was just so freaking amazing.
Like if you want to go back to last, we could listen to it. It's just,
the game was just like it very Saturday morning.
Cartoon-ish like throughout the whole game. Mm-hmm uh,
you got to meet interesting characters like frogs and everything is like a,
it's like a, like a, like a Sims language. Like what's his name?
When the Sims like he just, it's not a language. It's his own made up language.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And there's this one part I was talking about last week,
like.
An Anne crossing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like I was talking last week, uh,
about this one scene where this frog has to
explain to you, it's all puzzles and stuff. Like, you know,
like this one frog where you have to collect all these rubber ducks and then you
finally, you collect all these rubber ducks for this frog and he,
you put 'em in the pond and then he explains to you what you wanna do with the,
with the ducks and fuck.
Lady quack, duck tweet.
I had to play that explanation cuz it's all pitchers.
It's like he says it and these little thought bubbles come up about what he
wants you to do. And.
Lady quack.
I never get tired of this. It is just I don't know why.
That that's literal game audio.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's the frog explaining to you what to do with these little ducks?
It is hilarious. Like everybody is like, like, you know, like,
I don't know, you know, like just every audio is like just nonsense talk,
but you know exactly what they want you to do type of thing. Uh,
but yeah, that, that game just, it just kills.
Me. Sounds good. I'll have to check that one.
Out. Yeah. Yeah, totally. But next,
but next week I'm gonna talk about the last of us again with John.
So if you guys feel like skipping and you don't want to hear John make fun of me
about how much I talk about the last of us and how he found it.
Retarded. I'm sorry. You can't say that word anymore. Right? The R word.
it's 20, 22. You're gonna get canceled again.
You pick up the right.
No, I'm kidding. Nick. Thanks so much for coming on. I really appreciate it.
Yeah. Thank you for having me. I really enjoyed.
