Gaming Through Generations Ep 3 - Unnatural To Some

WEBVTT

00:00:05.099 --> 00:00:11.640
Fire away. Okay, so this is a Subject that I

00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.820
have it's once again gaming through the generations

00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:19.260
Oh that one again gaming through the generations.

00:00:19.260 --> 00:00:24.800
I I I can't think of anything else Here gaming

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:31.710
through the generation So First first off first

00:00:31.710 --> 00:00:34.049
off before I get into the real part of the segment

00:00:34.049 --> 00:00:36.210
I just wanted to say I have been playing path

00:00:36.210 --> 00:00:40.950
of the exile 2 and I Think I might need a new

00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:43.789
keyboard because I have hit it a couple times.

00:00:44.210 --> 00:00:48.630
So It is very good game. It's just extremely

00:00:48.630 --> 00:00:51.490
hard and frustrating There's a lot of glitches.

00:00:51.490 --> 00:00:54.250
It's in beta. If you don't watch me play it I'll

00:00:54.250 --> 00:00:56.869
be doing it live on my twitch stream here soon.

00:00:56.869 --> 00:01:00.640
Maybe tomorrow but anyway With the subject I

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:05.359
had, which is also gaming related. And it's kind

00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:07.879
of funny because like the beta of Path of Exile

00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:13.739
kind of, you know, relates to this. So. I am

00:01:13.739 --> 00:01:18.459
wondering from our our podcast, from the chat,

00:01:18.980 --> 00:01:21.719
what is one thing about gaming in the past that

00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:26.519
you miss? For example, for me, I miss midnight

00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.319
releases. For me, midnight releases, I would

00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.120
go with my group of friends that we all love

00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.739
playing video games. In particular, Call of Duty.

00:01:34.900 --> 00:01:37.819
What is Jay doing down there? I'm just labeling

00:01:37.819 --> 00:01:47.719
everything. Sorry. Gosh. Wow. Yeah. So yeah.

00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.599
Midnight releases are great because like. My

00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:52.840
friends and I, we loved Call of Duty and Halo.

00:01:53.060 --> 00:01:55.540
So like when we got in line for a midnight release,

00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.180
we planned to get it in game all night. Like

00:01:58.180 --> 00:02:00.980
we already had our Xboxes or whatever console

00:02:00.980 --> 00:02:03.760
that we needed and TVs hooked up at one of our

00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:07.000
houses ready to go. We would actually be gaming

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.719
already beforehand and then go to the midnight

00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.379
release, pick it up. maybe get some snacks on

00:02:12.379 --> 00:02:14.460
the way from Walmart and then go straight to

00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:17.740
our houses and play like all night long until

00:02:17.740 --> 00:02:22.560
like the early morning. So yeah, that's just

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.639
like one of my favorite things. There's so many

00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.500
more examples. And I was just wondering, what

00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:30.680
is y 'all's favorite? Like, Nikki, Jay, what

00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.000
do you think? What's y 'all's favorite, like?

00:02:34.699 --> 00:02:37.860
Thing from from gaming in the past, it doesn't

00:02:37.860 --> 00:02:39.719
even have to be like games specifically, it could

00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:45.080
be like You know, for example, like gaming magazines,

00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.659
like I feel like they used to be more of a thing

00:02:48.659 --> 00:02:50.740
back back in the day, you know, like not back

00:02:50.740 --> 00:02:53.780
in the day, but like before the Internet and

00:02:53.780 --> 00:03:01.379
social media was really huge. Oh, that's that's

00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:04.199
what I miss. Yeah. And who is that? I already

00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:05.840
know who it is. But for those who don't know,

00:03:05.900 --> 00:03:08.900
who is that? That is Olivia Munn, who I had a

00:03:08.900 --> 00:03:12.439
crush on from Attack of the Show. Oh, yeah, she's.

00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:25.240
Yeah. Yeah. Also with the back of the show guns

00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.759
are just made fun of me because he's like switch

00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:32.919
shameless twitch plug. What's the attack of the

00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:36.229
show? Yeah. What is that? Do you not know what

00:03:36.229 --> 00:03:41.050
attack of the show was? We know why. I'm sorry.

00:03:41.710 --> 00:03:49.930
Wait, you watch G4, though, right? G4 TV. What's

00:03:49.930 --> 00:03:54.189
that? Oh, God. No. All right. All right. All

00:03:54.189 --> 00:03:57.830
right. I mean, this is cable television type

00:03:57.830 --> 00:04:01.669
type stuff. OK, OK. But no, tell me more. Tell

00:04:01.669 --> 00:04:06.110
me more. What is before Twitch? We used to have

00:04:06.110 --> 00:04:10.250
to rely on like video game magazines which Jenny

00:04:10.250 --> 00:04:12.370
brought up but also like TV shows like attack

00:04:12.370 --> 00:04:15.409
of the show where like they would say like here's

00:04:15.409 --> 00:04:17.490
like the video games coming out soon and like

00:04:17.490 --> 00:04:20.689
they would do like like video game reviews. They

00:04:20.689 --> 00:04:23.290
would just it was like nerd like very nerdy.

00:04:23.350 --> 00:04:26.029
They would also I think like kind of review some

00:04:26.029 --> 00:04:29.319
gadgets and shit, but like primarily like If

00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.839
you want to keep up with like video game news

00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:33.980
and like what was coming out and what was good

00:04:33.980 --> 00:04:37.800
and what wasn't, you had to watch G4 TV like

00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.699
an attack of the show was one of the shows on

00:04:39.699 --> 00:04:44.540
there. Yeah, super like what did they go over?

00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:49.500
What they did. I mean, you know, like mostly

00:04:49.500 --> 00:04:52.939
just gaming related stuff, the gaming news. And

00:04:52.939 --> 00:04:55.819
I remember like they have like different segments,

00:04:55.819 --> 00:04:59.279
right? It was like a TV channel. And then like

00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.839
they my one favorite thing was they would play.

00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.680
It was like a tournament thing and they would

00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:10.519
play like unreal. Yeah. Tekken and. I forgot

00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.379
what the other game was. Wasn't a sports game

00:05:14.379 --> 00:05:17.579
usually or something like that. I don't remember

00:05:17.579 --> 00:05:20.819
or or Starcraft or something. I think it was

00:05:20.819 --> 00:05:23.439
Starcraft actually, but they would play like

00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.439
several different games and it was like it was

00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:28.970
like before. major league gaming was a thing

00:05:28.970 --> 00:05:32.029
was before like these huge gaming tournaments

00:05:32.029 --> 00:05:34.110
was a thing like they were doing that on their

00:05:34.110 --> 00:05:37.810
channel. It was so awesome. I missed that. And

00:05:37.810 --> 00:05:39.670
you're also talking about like the dark days

00:05:39.670 --> 00:05:42.709
of video games where it still wasn't super like

00:05:42.709 --> 00:05:44.649
socially acceptable. So you like you were kind

00:05:44.649 --> 00:05:46.449
of like made fun of for playing video games.

00:05:46.449 --> 00:05:49.089
So like there weren't a lot of. Oh, my goodness.

00:05:49.610 --> 00:05:53.069
Yeah. Video game. So then you have Olivia Munn.

00:05:53.209 --> 00:05:55.870
If you don't even like no attack of the show,

00:05:55.870 --> 00:05:59.350
she was She was in the X -Men movies as like

00:05:59.350 --> 00:06:06.769
Psylocke. Yeah. So yeah. So you had this very

00:06:06.769 --> 00:06:11.009
attracted female and talking about video games,

00:06:11.290 --> 00:06:13.569
playing video games, like being like a total

00:06:13.569 --> 00:06:16.149
nerd. And it was just like, oh my gosh, she's

00:06:16.149 --> 00:06:18.990
like one of us. And she's also hot. So yeah.

00:06:21.389 --> 00:06:27.100
Yeah. Also with that. Well, you said like people

00:06:27.100 --> 00:06:29.600
making fun of gamers and not thinking gaming

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:33.220
was cool. Yeah. I remember being in line for

00:06:33.220 --> 00:06:36.379
midnight releases and then someone in a big truck

00:06:36.379 --> 00:06:38.579
would come by and roll down his window and be

00:06:38.579 --> 00:06:41.699
like, you guys are losers. And then roll back

00:06:41.699 --> 00:06:45.199
up his window and speed off doing a bird out.

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.899
And we're all just standing there like, hey,

00:06:47.899 --> 00:06:52.560
I don't care. I'm excited about Halo three. It's

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:56.329
like when you saw people staying up. late, waiting

00:06:56.329 --> 00:07:00.569
for books to come out except. Except they weren't

00:07:00.569 --> 00:07:03.769
books, you're just staying up late for a game.

00:07:04.990 --> 00:07:08.029
Well, yeah, I mean, at least there's some like

00:07:08.029 --> 00:07:10.250
merit to staying up for a book, it feels like,

00:07:11.170 --> 00:07:14.269
you know. Staying up for a game is good. It's

00:07:14.269 --> 00:07:19.410
fun. It's fun. Yeah, I also say like, I think

00:07:19.410 --> 00:07:24.060
something I miss is. actually finishing video

00:07:24.060 --> 00:07:27.939
games. So I feel like back in the day, we didn't

00:07:27.939 --> 00:07:30.500
get like a lot of like video games coming out

00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:33.600
all the time. Like you had eight like a year

00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:37.180
or two. So like everyone had time to like actually

00:07:37.180 --> 00:07:39.740
complete a video game. And now I feel like everyone

00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:43.319
has like over 500 games on steam and we haven't

00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:48.939
finished any game. Yeah, I don't even know how

00:07:48.939 --> 00:07:54.189
many I have like over 300. It's just so many

00:07:54.189 --> 00:07:56.810
come out like there's it's like a constant stream

00:07:56.810 --> 00:07:58.889
of new games coming out and trying to catch your

00:07:58.889 --> 00:08:02.370
interest I'm constantly just like playing old

00:08:02.370 --> 00:08:06.329
games that I like and like and and like I'll

00:08:06.329 --> 00:08:10.149
like peruse and See when things are on sale and

00:08:10.149 --> 00:08:13.709
stuff and like hmm. I don't know is this game

00:08:13.709 --> 00:08:16.850

You know like I'm still hunting You know, I'm

00:08:20.540 --> 00:08:23.439
having a good I don't even play the online portion.

00:08:25.259 --> 00:08:27.500
She is the bane of gamers trying to finish the

00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:31.319
game. Yeah, right. Yeah, like I'm just I'm just

00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.059
still preoccupied with hunting deer, you know.

00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.500
Oh, my gosh. I don't think she's you have never

00:08:36.500 --> 00:08:39.039
finished Red Dead Redemption two. Oh, also, Nikki,

00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:42.320
I'm still playing as Arthur Morgan. I haven't

00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:45.919
even got to the part where he dies yet. Oh, wait.

00:08:46.340 --> 00:08:49.059
Can I not I'm not supposed to say that? Spoiler

00:08:49.059 --> 00:08:54.320
alert. Sorry. So I did. You didn't. What's your

00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:59.820
thing that you miss? What me? Yeah. What do you

00:08:59.820 --> 00:09:04.019
miss about something that doesn't exist or doesn't

00:09:04.019 --> 00:09:06.779
exist as much anymore? It doesn't exist at all.

00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:11.340
So for me, I'm I'm a very social person. I'm

00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:16.159
I'm very extroverted. I miss the I mean, we still

00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.279
we still have like Like, you know, conventions

00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:21.159
and stuff that bring us together and whatnot.

00:09:21.580 --> 00:09:27.740
But I miss more of that, like, local, like, gathering.

00:09:27.980 --> 00:09:30.419
Like, I used to go to, like, a lot of LAN parties.

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.659
You know, get your friends and play Halo. You

00:09:34.659 --> 00:09:37.659
know, you got the whole house filled up. You

00:09:37.659 --> 00:09:42.320
know, you got four people to a TV. And everybody's

00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.840
just getting like pumped for each game session.

00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.679
You take breaks. All right, let's get some snacks.

00:09:48.100 --> 00:09:49.559
All right. All right. All right. Next session

00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:52.259
starting, you know, and it's just you're there

00:09:52.259 --> 00:09:55.299
with all your friends. Yeah, and you're laying

00:09:55.299 --> 00:09:57.679
games like I like. I know there are places you

00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:02.720
can go or you can do that. But it's just not

00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:08.019
so much a thing anymore. You know. Or at least

00:10:08.019 --> 00:10:11.129
if it feels like it's not like. Thing anymore

00:10:11.129 --> 00:10:16.269
as much as like when? You know All non games

00:10:16.269 --> 00:10:18.730
weren't so like huge well with like when when

00:10:18.730 --> 00:10:20.690
LAN gaming was getting popular, you know, I went

00:10:20.690 --> 00:10:23.769
when Specifically like halo parties were becoming

00:10:23.769 --> 00:10:26.210
popular, you know, like that that doesn't happen

00:10:26.210 --> 00:10:28.730
as much also I feel like there's a lack of like

00:10:28.730 --> 00:10:31.470
really good couch co -op titles nowadays like

00:10:31.470 --> 00:10:34.850
it's almost like I feel like like for example,

00:10:34.850 --> 00:10:37.889
there's so many like games I played recently

00:10:37.889 --> 00:10:41.610
that there is no like couch co -op like split

00:10:41.610 --> 00:10:45.169
screen. You can only do like co -op online. And

00:10:45.169 --> 00:10:47.730
I'm just like that kind of like like this is

00:10:47.730 --> 00:10:49.990
the kind of game that I would play split screen,

00:10:49.990 --> 00:10:52.049
you know, like this is one I want to play split

00:10:52.049 --> 00:10:56.309
screen with my friend next to me. But you can't

00:10:56.309 --> 00:10:58.909
because they just expect people to be online

00:10:58.909 --> 00:11:02.490
gaming now. Yeah, I mean, which is not a bad

00:11:02.490 --> 00:11:04.070
thing at all. I don't think so at all, because

00:11:04.070 --> 00:11:05.950
you get connected with people all around the

00:11:05.950 --> 00:11:10.629
world. But same time, you know. I miss some things.

00:11:12.529 --> 00:11:15.309
I mean, if if COVID taught us anything, it's

00:11:15.309 --> 00:11:21.190
a germs are bad. Yeah. So that's why that's why

00:11:21.190 --> 00:11:23.730
we're all separated currently. That's why, you

00:11:23.730 --> 00:11:27.330
know, I'm still in the Seattle area. You guys

00:11:27.330 --> 00:11:29.990
moved away. It looks like Nikki is in a forest

00:11:29.990 --> 00:11:33.429
now. I don't know. It's hard to keep up avoiding

00:11:33.429 --> 00:11:38.210
the germs. You literally look like you're reporting

00:11:38.210 --> 00:11:41.830
from that forest. Wait, like it looks like the

00:11:41.830 --> 00:11:44.289
sun is shining on the back of your head in that

00:11:44.289 --> 00:11:49.169
picture. Where do you think I am? Nintendo, Gonza

00:11:49.169 --> 00:11:50.950
says Nintendo is one of the few companies that

00:11:50.950 --> 00:11:52.769
has the ability to do multiplayer on one TV.

00:11:52.990 --> 00:11:55.889
Yeah, that's true. They still they stay dedicated

00:11:55.889 --> 00:11:58.269
to that, which I do appreciate Nintendo for.

00:11:58.750 --> 00:12:03.759
Very valuable, very valuable. That is. I believe

00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.740
that's like kind of part of our marketing strategy

00:12:06.740 --> 00:12:10.139
using kind of like my little MBA knowledge here.

00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:15.299
So all your competitors like Xbox, PlayStation,

00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.240
Nintendo, they all have to like do something

00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.299
to be different other than just release like

00:12:20.299 --> 00:12:22.259
their own kind of games like Zelda and stuff

00:12:22.259 --> 00:12:25.720
like that. So Nintendo like kind of still having

00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.789
split screen. So it makes them different. And

00:12:28.789 --> 00:12:30.230
that's why people are probably going to go out

00:12:30.230 --> 00:12:32.750
and buy like a Nintendo on top of buying a PlayStation

00:12:32.750 --> 00:12:35.210
on top of buying an Xbox. You know, you just

00:12:35.210 --> 00:12:36.710
have to buy all three of them and then you have

00:12:36.710 --> 00:12:38.509
to build a computer and you'll be perfectly fine.

00:12:38.549 --> 00:12:40.750
You'll have friends. You'll still go outside.

00:12:43.330 --> 00:12:45.230
You'll still go outside. You'll still have money.

00:12:46.490 --> 00:12:50.389
You'll still have money. Well, until you need

00:12:50.389 --> 00:12:54.070
like a subscription to go outside. Yeah. You

00:12:54.070 --> 00:12:57.279
step outside. They're like 20 bucks. Right there.

00:12:58.700 --> 00:13:01.799
You hit like that, like level wall that you can't

00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.399
you can't like. We actually know. Sorry, your

00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.840
subscription level doesn't allow you to come

00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.440
to this park. Yeah.
