Recording Chaos And Cold Open

SPEAKER_01 0:10

Thank you and welcome back to another episode of Carolina Otaku podcast. Damn, this is ghetto. What in the hell? Like, I'm sorry. Riverside, y'all should not have gotten rid of that test shit before you actually start live recording. Cause this shit is horrible. Oh my God, this is so bad. Because you can't really test audio like that. Oh my goodness. That is.

SPEAKER_02 0:36

Now you just gotta wing it.

SPEAKER_01 0:38

Yeah, like fuck you guys. But damn, that's so bad. Okay. Um, but fuck. Thank you. Welcome back to another episode of the Carolado Taco Podcast. I am Afro and I'm here with my co-host.

SPEAKER_02 0:53

Lexi.

SPEAKER_01 0:54

Uh yeah, welcome back, guys. Um,

Welcome Back And Quick Catch-Up

SPEAKER_01 0:56

you guys know how we start this shit off. You know, what we've been up to lately since we last talked, what's been going on, and kind of just going from there. So, Lexi, what's been going on?

SPEAKER_02 1:07

Nothing.

SPEAKER_01 1:09

How's the um healing coming?

SPEAKER_03 1:11

Uh it's going. Yeah. Um, I got

Healing Update And Post-Op Photos

SPEAKER_03 1:14

all my sutures out finally. Um everything looks fine. Um, I actually did my like one-month post-off pictures in the office last week.

SPEAKER_01 1:26

Um Is that is that like what is that? I know it's a doctor, right? They're a doctor, right? But you but you it's gotta be some type of awkwardness when you're just sitting there and you're just like, are your hands out?

SPEAKER_03 1:40

Oh yeah. So like it is so awkward because like she'd be like, all right, turn this way.

unknown 1:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:47

Now turn this way.

SPEAKER_04 1:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:48

Turn this way. And I'm just like, oh my God, this is so awkward. But I was looking at those photos and it like, so the way he did it, he didn't do it like the typical way for a bra lift, which is like for for a back lift, is like usually they call it a bra lift, which is like straight across the bra line. Well, because of the way my back was shaped, he had to go and do it like this way, kind of.

SPEAKER_02 2:11

Right.

SPEAKER_03 2:12

And I had forgot like what my back had looked like before, and then I looked at like the before and they like where I am now, and I was like, oh, it makes sense why he did it this way. And I was like, oh, my back used to look like that. And then like I saw my booze before and like where they are now. I was like, oh, okay, okay, okay. I'm liking the results so far.

SPEAKER_01 2:33

That's crazy. Wow, that's sick. Okay, good, good. I'm happy to hear that. Happy to hear that. Um, what has been going on on my side? Um, nothing much. Working. Um, that's really it. Just a lot of working, you know, uh a lot of rain, rainforest weather. So and that's about it. You know, I'm ready for the fall already. Um I've been looking, you know what, I've been thinking about like upgrading my uh wardrobe a little bit. Like uh getting into like heavy

Heavy T-Shirts And Anime Merch Hunt

SPEAKER_01 3:05

t-shirts. Um just because I like the way they look. Like I have a lot of t-shirts, but they're all like, you know, just like simple material type shit. And so I'm looking online for like different brands of heavy t-shirts and stuff like that. And they those shirts get expensive. They're like almost like $20 a shirt.

SPEAKER_03 3:27

You know what? I'm not even gonna go there with you. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 3:29

It's like that's crazy to me. I've never spent that much for a shirt, yo. Um, but I'm like, okay, whatever. I guess this is, you know, the way shit is. You know, that's just the way shit is. Um, but getting into that, uh buying the heavy shirts, looking for like heavyweighted anime shirts and stuff with like good print on it, which is weird. Because when I was doing this search, it's actually really hard to find heavy t-shirts with anime shit on it or gaming shit on it nowadays. During COVID, they were everywhere. Now, a lot of those places are out of business or not around anymore. So it's hard to find places that um actually have good quality stuff and can ship to you in a reasonable time. That's the big thing. Like reasonable time of shipping. If I'm buying like five shirts, I would love to get those shits within a week, you know. Um, but one of the biggest places to buy stuff, and I hate to say this because it's annoying, is actually Crunchyroll.

SPEAKER_03 4:27

Yeah, I bought some stuff from there.

SPEAKER_01 4:28

Yeah, I hate having to say that, but you know, they are a monopoly. So um, but you know, other than that, heavy t-shirts, uh, yeah, and looking at like the different colors and shit, but yeah, yeah, you just gotta spend the money to do what you gotta do. Um but today in this episode, uh kind of want to talk about if nostalgia is nostalgia on animes, is it actually

Does Nostalgia Change Anime Taste

SPEAKER_01 4:54

like I don't want to say hindering, like, but is it making us say like, yeah, this shit don't hit like this no more. Or anything like that. You know, yeah, I saw that too. Um so the story that made me okay, this is a story. I send Lexi stuff sometimes when I'm high, and I'd be on my couch just sitting there. Like last week I was high and I called, I sent a message to the group chat with my mom and my sister, and I was like, Ma, I was just sitting there thinking about turkey wings for some strange reason. And I was like, Ma, why did you always used to buy turkey wings when we were growing up? Right?

SPEAKER_03 5:32

That's so fucking random.

SPEAKER_01 5:34

Yeah, and I hate turkey wings. Like, I hate turkey wings. Turkey wings are disgusting to me. Can't stand them, right? And I was just like, why did you buy those so much? She was like, they were easy, they were easy to make. I was like, oh my god, couldn't stand turkey wings. So, high moment. So I wasn't high this time, but I was working on my couch and I was on YouTube and I was looking at, I came across the sci-fi channel, used to have almost like a tune called Grindhouse that used to come on. And they had like an hour block of animes and different shows and stuff. So the show that they were showing was a show I'd never

Discovering You’re Under Arrest

SPEAKER_01 6:18

seen before. It's called You're Under Arrest. And it is about this girl who becomes a cop. Literally, she becomes a cop, and it just shows everything that she goes through while she's a cop. And she, and it's like this anime was so interesting to me because it was like cult, it was car culture and motorcycle culture within it. So, like, I'm watching this thing and I'm like, okay, this is pretty interesting. You get to know the characters, it's not moving really fast. It's actually like a really nice pace. And I'm sitting there and I'm like, okay, cool. Then I see a red mini. I see a red mini with a turbo in it. And the funny thing is, they specify the turbo in the car and they specify the car specs. And I'm like, what kind of fucking anime is this? So I was intrigued. I was in it. I was in it. I was like, okay, all right, I like this. And this started to make me think about how old, and this is like an old anime, like in the 90s type shit. You can tell by the illustration and everything. And I was sitting there and I was like, damn, I am really enjoying this. I I I haven't, most of the animes that I have been watching recently are older. And I've just been enjoying the hell out of them. Like, really. I love the pacing of the story and all that shit. I could, I would sit there, I sat there and I compared it to like, I was like, oh, you really can't compare it, but I was like, when I think about Demon Slayer or like an attack on Titan, I'm like, this is rough. Not rough in like a bad way, but it's just like the pace of it is so quick because they have to get those shits out. It's like, damn, where's the it's a story there, but it's like, can I, can I enjoy, can I sit in this shit? Can I enjoy this shit? You know what I'm saying? Even just watching like old episodes of Yu Yu Hakashu. Like, I was like, damn, I can sit in this. I can chill with this. This is good shit. Good intro, good outro. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm feeling this vibe right now. I'm sorry. I can't smoke with Demon Slayer on.

SPEAKER_05 8:20

I can't. Yo. Wait a minute, what?

SPEAKER_01 8:24

I don't know. I don't know if I'm the only person that thinks like this. But Demon Slayer is not one of those type of animes where I'm just like, you know what? Just gonna roll some shit up, chill the fuck out, and enjoy this. Is that crazy to say? Is that crazy?

SPEAKER_03 8:38

No, no, I feel you. I I feel you. Cause like, I feel like if you get too far gone, like you're just going to like miss the whole entire plot. Like, at least for older anime, like the plot was kind of like slower paced.

SPEAKER_04 8:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:55

And like, for instance, like, I can get high and watch Cowboy Bebop and like enjoy the shit out of it, right? Because it's just the story was different every episode, right? Like, you didn't really have like so if you miss something, it's it's okay. Right. But like also it's just I don't know, it's it was just more chill than like a lot of animes nowadays. Just it I think animes nowadays are more faster paced, more action-based. And I think it's just because of the way our generation is more like, yes, on the go. We need it, like our attention spans are like

Fast Modern Pacing And Attention Spans

SPEAKER_03 9:33

short. It's yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:35

It it's it's now don't I'm not look if this does become a clip or whatever. Don't get me wrong. Demon Slayer and Attack on Titan, it's beautiful. It looks fucking amazing. But if somebody, if a if somebody came out with a new show and they took or adopted the old like 90s and 80s anime style, I'm in it. I'm in it. Cause that style, that style is what I like to see. I love seeing that style. Like that's it, it's something about like the color, the way that they move, everything in the background, the detail of it. Like, it looks great. All of it looks good. And it's probably gonna be some motherfucker that's gonna be like, oh, you old ass nigga. Yeah, whatever. I don't give a fuck. But like I said, I am a 35-year-old man. Sorry. Like, it's just, it's just some shit. Some animes, yeah. I can sit there and, you know, roll up something and chill. Like um the anime I was talking about some months ago called Bar the Bartender. That bartender shit, chill. Real chill, right? I can watch that, roll some shit up, and just enjoy that, right? I can enjoy, I can't, I can't even say I can do that with like new Dragon Ball Z shit, because I'll be lying if I said I could. The old Dragon Ball sheets, old Dragon Ball Z, yes, I can. It's just a more chiller, more vibey shit. This new stuff, though, I'm like, bro, I could understand if somebody got a seizure watching this new stuff. They used to say, they used to say back in the day that people would get seizures off of that. Like, if you watch the intro of Dandadan, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't get a seizure.

SPEAKER_00 11:23

Swear. Swear. I can still remember. I was at your house.

SPEAKER_05 11:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:30

I was at your house and and I we you put that shit on, and I said, I said, Lexi, what the fuck is that? What the fuck is this? I said, Lexi, what the fuck is this show?

SPEAKER_01 11:45

What you gotta be watching? And it did, you know, dun dun dun dun dun dun. I said, really, nigga.

SPEAKER_03 11:50

But I mean I mean Chad has a good point. Like, anime is so more popular than it was back in like when we were watching it, right?

SPEAKER_04 12:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:01

And it has a wired demographic now. Like, and so like anime back then was like catering to us, but now it's like not, because it's catering to younger kids and and things of that nature. So, I mean, how you gonna get a younger kid's attention when they're iPad kids and shit? You gotta make it like that.

SPEAKER_01 12:20

So I guess, but when you when it's it's yeah, I get it. I get that. I really do. But it's just some like also another another big thing that I think about is I wonder if a lot of these people are going back to watch the newer

Will Today’s Hits Age Well

SPEAKER_01 12:35

animes again. Like, for real. Like maybe it's not, maybe it's not that long of a time frame right now for people to start doing that. But when you think about, let's say in the future, 20, 30 years from now, do you think people are going to go back to Demon Slayer and watch it?

SPEAKER_03 12:54

Demon Slayer, yes. I I feel like that'll be probably like one of the heavily watched nostalgia type animes that people will be watching in like 20, 30 years.

SPEAKER_01 13:05

Uh same with Attack on Titan? Uh Attack on Titan, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:08

Yeah. I I I feel like any of the popular ones.

SPEAKER_01 13:13

So like My Hero, My Hero.

SPEAKER_03 13:14

Yeah, all those, yeah, they'll be like, oh, those are nostalgia animes, and you're just like, uh, that's not nostalgia. But okay, whatever.

SPEAKER_01 13:21

Yeah, like, nigga, get out of here. But it it's it's like I said, uh uh as a 35-year-old man, man, I'm I'm if I can roll some shit up, it's a Friday. And it's like one of those shits like, yeah, I'm gonna, after work, I already got my dinner planned, give me some smoke some wings, right? You know, smoke some wings, might have a salad with that bitch. I got my shit ready to go, go roll that shit up, or we're gonna watch some anime. But in my head, I'm like, I'm watching old shit. Hands down. I'm not watching anything new. I'm gonna just sit there and just chill the fuck out. You know what I'm saying? Like, I feel like if it the new shit, I I can, I mean, yeah, I can do it with it, but it's just not, it's just not that same feeling. Really? And that just could be because I'm old. Even like the like old Naruto's, great. I mean, great. Old one piece, great. Even old case clothes shits, like I love case clothes, probably one of my favorite shits. Great. I can watch all that old shit. It looks great, animation and everything. I I just wonder if I I'll call myself old, if that nostalgia is is possibly hindering from me liking some of the new stuff. Because I'm like, damn.

SPEAKER_03 14:34

I mean, maybe. I mean, for me right now, like, I don't think there's like a newer anime within like the last, I'll say like two, three years that I've like really bied with and mesh with very well that I'm just like, I'm gonna watch and keep up with. That's why I I haven't really been watching anime that much. Is it's just that a lot of the stuff now is just like, mmm, okay, I can like catch it when I catch it. It's not like something I'm like, oh, I gotta watch this like every week it comes out.

SPEAKER_01 15:03

So yeah, I understand that. So if you had to I I already know it, but I'm gonna say it. No, I'm I got something for you. So if there's one, what is one older anime you still love today that's not cowboy beebop?

SPEAKER_03 15:19

Oh, Shinshan, actually.

Comfort Anime Picks And Story First

SPEAKER_00 15:21

Oh, that's a good one. That's that's a good one. I totally forgot about that one. That's a good one.

SPEAKER_03 15:31

Like, cause that's kind of what got me into like watching anime and watching anime was Shinshan. Like, and it's been on for so long.

SPEAKER_04 15:40

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 15:41

Like, I can just go catch like super old anime, like super old ones. Yeah. And then it's been dubbed. It's like they have it subbed. It's you know, I just love it. But I guess like a comfort anime that I can watch over and over, uh, probably like Dragon Ball, not Dragon Ball Z, just first Dragon Ball. Um, I can just watch that.

SPEAKER_01 16:01

Nice. So would you are you a person that appreciates animation more or storytelling?

SPEAKER_03 16:07

I feel like I appreciate story more. I'm not one that's like, I gotta have the animation, the big fight scenes, all that stuff. Like a good story, uh, yeah. Hook line is think around in there.

SPEAKER_01 16:21

Same. I like a good storyline. Um I like a really good storyline. Like I I I appreciate, I I really do appreciate like a black clover just because of that storyline with Asta and just everything like that. Love Black Clover. Um it Demon Slayer Demon Slayer storyline is cool. I just don't like the way they they separate their movies and shit. I just never really appreciated the way that they did that. I always thought that was kind of um but I I always think a good storyline is what really gets you into it. Like, for sure.

SPEAKER_03 16:58

For me, it's more of a storyline that's like off off the norm.

SPEAKER_01 17:02

Yeah.

unknown 17:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 17:03

And the more off the norm, like, the better. I don't like like the whole action-based like type animes. I like the more like horror-based or like the ones that just have a unique story to them. Yeah. Like those are the ones I like to watch more. Yeah. Um, than like, you know, Naruto. Uh I like Naruto, but like, you know, like Demon Slayer and our you know, those type that are more action-based, story, you know, fighting-based, like, okay, cool, but like stuff like uh like Cowboy Bebop, that was off the norm. Um, like Hellgirl, that's probably like one of my favorite ones. That was like completely off the nore. Yeah. You know, things like that I I tend to watch more.

SPEAKER_01 17:43

What do you think older animes did better than the new ones?

SPEAKER_03 17:48

Tim is the stories. Stories were were better.

SPEAKER_01 17:52

Even even the filler episodes were were still good at a time. They weren't like kind of bullshit. Hey, let's go follow fucking well nah. They did Naruto did one when they went following Kakashi around, which I thought was pretty cool. Whatever. Um, but I even think like the filler episodes were great back in the day. Like, cause it wasn't, it w they they were able to just kind of just take shit and just not make it so serious. And I know some people, some people like that like serious shit all the fucking time. Like, come on, man. Yeah, can I laugh at some shit? You know what I'm saying? Like, if I can laugh at some shit, that just makes the anime better. Like, I uh I forgot what the anime was called, but it was it's a weird one. I saw YouTube clips of it. But it was a dude who was taking care, his parents ended up passing away, and he had a baby brother. And he ended up um, maybe it was like his grandmother or like distant family or something, but they were his grandmother was like head of like this daycare or some shit that was attached to a school. So while he went to school, the baby was in daycare. I forgot what the fuck it was called. Damn. But it was actually like a really good anime just from the clips and stuff like that. It was dope. Um, but yeah, I I I like you said that storytelling, the filler episodes and stuff like that. And it's something I can always go back to. I guess that's the other thing too. Like I might have seen it multiple times, but I can I can watch Cowboy Bebop like a lot. I really can. Like I can watch it a fucking lot. And I will be just as sad when it's the last fucking episode every time. Because I'm like, damn, I really wish it was more of this. Or Samurai Shample. Like it, man. Do you think music is better back then or now?

SPEAKER_03 19:52

That's a good one. Because, you know, like now they're starting to realize that, oh, music is, you know, kind of was

Openings Soundtracks And Lo-Fi Vibes

SPEAKER_03 19:59

like getting some people to just like watch the anime, like dan to dan for you.

SPEAKER_04 20:03

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 20:04

Um, but I think probably toughy, but like Cowboy Bebob has like a classic soundtrack. Like I was listening to, yeah, I was listening to Tank Today.

SPEAKER_04 20:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:15

And so I think a lot of the older animes had just really great hits and classes. Like, like Bleach had a bunch of like songs that I still listen to every once in a while. So yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna go with the older ones versus the older ones.

SPEAKER_01 20:31

Same. I mean, some of the new ones like Odd Taxi are good and stuff like that. I mean, even Demon Demon Slayer has some good, you know, has a good intro and everything like that. But I mean, it it's it's certain ones where like I could listen to the fucking U U Hakasho Romantic. I could listen to that shit all fucking day because it sounds great. Honestly, a lot of the old shit was basically just like it was just all lo-fi. It was it was just all lo-fi.

SPEAKER_03 21:07

Lo-fi friend, you don't honor any of you guys.

SPEAKER_01 21:09

It was just all lo-fi to me because it was all just good. It was just all fucking great. Swear. And that that goes the same for like video game uh music too. Like I I always say I love the eight-bit music. Love it. I love the way it sounds, right? So much to the point, I think I've talked about this. I've gotten into like uh DMB music.

SPEAKER_02 21:33

What is that?

SPEAKER_01 21:34

So like drum and bass.

SPEAKER_02 21:36

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 21:37

And I've realized what kind of DMB I like, and I am a fan of liquid and atmospheric. I don't like jungle because jungle is a lot of like bass heavy, like drums and stuff. The liquid is just so smooth. And like whenever I hear it, I think about Sagan Dreamcast. I think about fucking jet set radio, I fucking think about old Metal Gear shit. Like, it gives me that that type of vibe, like heavy vibe, and I love it. I can Be working and listening to that shit. It's it's really good. Um, yeah, I mean, oh, man. I I do think, like we said, that some anime, the nostalgia from I guess I I guess you can say for older people does kind of affect that. Like me just also watching like Gundam Wing. Gundam Wing is great. It looks great. I don't need the flashy, you know, clean. I don't need my shit to be so fucking crisp. You know, I don't need my animation to look so crisp. I'm sorry, I don't. Like, I'll I like to see the flowing of the hair like look kind of pixelated a little bit. You know what I mean? That that's not bad to me. That's great. That shows me that, oh shit, somebody actually drew this. This looks great. I'm not saying people didn't draw the other shit, but it's just, I don't know, it's just something about it. You know, it's really something about it. Um, but yeah, that was like one of my like kind of perspective things. And when I get these type of shit, I just record shit to my phone and just talk and just, you know, put it there. Fuck. So uh yeah, shit. I hit a button. Sorry. I hit a button on my mouse and it started, it started like it was I was watching a short about a dude who had like a custom gun or some shit. All right, um, it was sick. But another thing that I kind of wanted to bring up, uh where oh, I sent something to Lexi maybe last week about Bethesda. Some fucking anniversary bullshit and they're the 40th year and they've changed the logo around? Yeah, they changed their fucking logo. Nigga, where's the game? Like,

Bethesda Frustration And Xbox Leak Talk

SPEAKER_01 23:52

nigga, where's the game? I don't give a fuck about a logo. Where's the where's the game? And and you know, Bethesda, they make this big deal out of it, make an article about it, and all this bullshit. I do not give two shits about no damn logo.

SPEAKER_03 24:05

Oh man. I saw that. I just was like, oh, okay. And kept moving. I was like, this isn't a game update or anything. Yeah, I kept moving. I was like, whatever.

SPEAKER_01 24:14

Jesus Christ. So also speaking of leaks, I see shit online. I go through it, I'm just like, hmm. I wonder if this shit is real or not, because I know a lot of people will get butthurt if we say some shit.

SPEAKER_00 24:27

And they'd be like, who would you even say some shit like that if you know it's not real? Like, dude, relax, bro.

SPEAKER_01 24:34

But there is a leak. Let me repeat this again. There is a leak one more time. A leak, so we don't know if this shit is true. Okay. So there is a leak saying that the next Xbox, uh i.e. Project Helix, that's what you know, supposedly it's called, uh, may play Xbox 360 games and may even have a new disc to digital feature. These are leaks, not official announcements. If they do do this, that'll be that'll be dope. That'd be sick. I can't knock that. That'd be really good. And if you were to if you were able to take the basically, if I had a 360 game, put it into a system, it recognizes that, and let's say it takes like some type of uh some type of code or something, and uses that and just adds that to my digital shit, that's cool. That'd be amazing. But if I wanted to sell it or give it to somebody else, there has to be something there in between that says, all right, you're getting rid of this. This isn't gonna be in your system anymore. All right, we got to move this shit back. I feel like that's a lot of work though, and Xbox doesn't want to do that because that would be too good for their consumer.

SPEAKER_03 25:50

I'm gonna play devil's advocate and be like, so you think they're not gonna go the all-digital route, like Sony?

SPEAKER_01 25:55

No. I think, I think, okay. You remember when um this is funny that we're talking about this. You remember the when Xbox went through, said that they were doing all digital or something like that. Was it Xbox? Yeah, it was Xbox.

SPEAKER_03 26:12

It wasn't all digital, it was all always online.

SPEAKER_01 26:16

Yes. No, no, no, no, no, no. No. You don't remember that commercial that Sony did where it was some white dude and another guy, and he was like, they handed each other a physical copy of the game, and he was like, Thank you. And then he handed the other person back the game, and it was like, thank you very much. I appreciate that. It was something it had to be Sony, because I think it was Xbox that was going through this shit. Because Xbox had the uh rumor that they were going all.

SPEAKER_03 26:44

Yeah, that's when they that's when they were going all you have to check in like 24 hours. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 26:50

Yeah. Yeah. So I was I I think with all of this backlash, because it is a lot of backlash right now about this shit. It's a lot. Um I think Xbox will have a disk drive in it. I really do. I I don't think that they're going to. I Jesus. You want to talk about if they don't do it? I I mean people are gonna buy it, but I I thought that's gonna be a bad time for them. Especially after they said that they thought that the fucking um uh Game Pass was a failure. You can't you can't come out and say Game Pass was a fucking failure and then not and then make a system that doesn't allow the people to buy the physical games or the games that they already have and play those shits. That's that's gonna suck. That's gonna be a bad that's going to be a bad time. Like, a really bad time for everybody. And the funny thing is, I me personally, I don't I don't plan on buying uh either of them.

SPEAKER_03 27:56

We know you're not a console person. You're a PC gamer.

SPEAKER_01 27:59

Yeah, I used to be. Used to be a long time ago. Jesus, a long time ago. I was playing ESO on um the Xbox that I had. Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_03 28:09

Do you know how long ESO has been out?

SPEAKER_01 28:11

Oh my gosh, yes.

SPEAKER_03 28:13

Forever.

SPEAKER_01 28:13

Yeah. I'm actu I'm I'm gonna be real with you. I'm actually really surprised that Bethesda is actually keeping up with it. Seriously.

SPEAKER_03 28:21

Because it's technically not their responsibility, it's more of a Cinemax type thing. Yeah. That's the one who made it. But like, I mean you gotta think about it. Like, think about all the DLCs that they have.

SPEAKER_01 28:34

Yeah, I surely can.

SPEAKER_03 28:36

And I'm pretty sure they're making tons of money because there's still people that play it.

SPEAKER_01 28:39

Yeah. So I mean, I might I might sometimes go back to like Fallout 76 and I get back to it and I'm like, what am I doing? Sometimes I'll be like, what am I doing, man? Like, damn, is this better? Like, is this better than like, you know, just playing a regular Fallout game? No, it ain't. What?

SPEAKER_03 29:05

No, because I was like, I was sitting here when you mentioned I was like, damn, I need to counsel my fallout first. But like but I mean, very true. Like, the only main difference between that and playing a fallout game is that it's just online, and the online part is really not that more enticing than just playing a regular fallout game.

SPEAKER_01 29:28

Yeah. It it's it's uh uh I don't know. We talk about Bethesda damn net every time we get on this shit because we're just fucking disappointed. I am so fucking disappointed.

SPEAKER_03 29:38

Like I'm so fucking gotta understand we're both Bethesda fans and different asses. I'm a Fallout, you know, and Skyrim fan. He is, you know, a dishonor and all their other little babies fans.

SPEAKER_01 29:53

Yeah, all their other shit that, you know, like nobody really plays, but you know, hey. Wolfenstein and all I am so fucking disappointed. I am. It's it's it's fucking bad. Disgusting. I don't know. It is Do you think do you think that gaming publishers are getting a little bit up in their own asses?

SPEAKER_03 30:17

Yeah, I would say that they are. And I think right now they have the air. Let's put it this way. So like I think right now they still are like up in their asses, but I think they're still slowly starting to realize that like where the market is going, that something has to change. Like bands are like wanting a change. Um and you have all these like indie publishers that are making like hits.

SPEAKER_04 30:47

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 30:48

And like you have all these triple A companies that are like failing and you know, closing and doing layoffs. So yeah.

SPEAKER_01 30:57

You were playing that uh you were playing Halo, right?

SPEAKER_03 30:59

I was playing Halo, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:01

How was it?

SPEAKER_03 31:03

Uh I actually like it. It's my first time actually playing Halo because I

Halo First Impressions And Launch Memories

SPEAKER_03 31:07

never really played it. Only when I played was five before this. Oh shit. So yeah, so coming from like a newbie, I I mean, I really do like it. I like the graphics and um just kind of like the little bits and pieces that I know about Halo. It's yeah, it's really interesting. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:24

I have a I have a crazy Halo story. So I think I told this before. Maybe I didn't. So when Halo 2 came out, I my mom got me the collector's edition that came in the silver 10, like silver metal case. And Halo 2, I think, is when they brought the energy swords. And my mom, we stayed at my grandmother's when my mom was working, and she would come get us like at 12 in the morning. My mom was like, When is that? I'm half asleep. When does that game come out? And I was like, comes out today. And she, we drove to a game stop like close to the house, and we picked up that game that night. And it was that was that was my first time actually, like, this is crazy. That was my first time really seeing like a game store open that late and people waiting for this game to come out. So we got the copy that I wanted, and my mom was like, You got school in the morning, but you can play for like an hour and a half, right? Cool. I take my gaming system to my grandmother's house and I leave it over there because it's more I'm over there more times anyway. My uncle, my cousin, my older cousin, old, old, oldest cousin, I would be asleep in the back room. That's where I slept.

SPEAKER_02 32:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:40

My uncle and my cousin would be playing the game. They be doing the co-op the co-op play, and I'm dead asleep. And those motherfuckers are back there swear. I can remember this like it was yesterday. They be in the back, they're they're back there sitting on the bed, just playing the game. I'm dead asleep. I wake up at 12, they still playing. Those motherfuckers probably don't go to bed till like 1.30. I'm already gone, right? I'm at, you know, at the house. And I'm like, how far did y'all get? Oh man, we were killing it. Because me and my uncle did the same thing when Gears of War first came out on Xbox 360. Like, we were going through that shit. Because it was great. You know, it was that was something, that was like one of my Halo like moments. And playing Halo online and all that shit, that shit was great. Oh my gosh, that was a time. But um Yeah, man. It was, it was, it was just something about that that that was great. I loved it. I loved it. Okay. So I'm gonna give you questions. Okay.
