[00:01:18] This is his first, this is his first holiday episode with us.
[00:01:22] Yeah.
[00:01:23] Yeah, that's right.
[00:01:24] Which is funny. It's like, I was thinking about this and I was looking back at other things. This is our sixth one.
[00:01:29] Oh, it's, it's definitely a tradition.
[00:01:31] We started this.
[00:01:32] It's awesome.
[00:01:33] Uh, I want to welcome everybody over from Austin's stream. He just ran on in with us.
[00:01:40] Hey, what's going on, guys?
[00:01:41] Thank you for joining.
[00:01:43] Austin Lee Matthews will be joining us here momentarily and crashing on him. So, but, uh, no, we started this, well, we started this in 2019. At the end of 2019, we said, hey, we're going to do our first, we called it Barrett's Parade of Lights.
[00:01:57] Yeah.
[00:01:57] Yeah.
[00:01:59] And, you know, John was like the grand marshal and everything. We had a couple of our Final Fantasy other, you know, friends on and whatnot. And it's just, this has been a yearly thing now going forward. Like we've made it a yearly thing.
[00:02:10] Um, so yeah. Welcome, welcome everybody.
[00:02:14] I mean, welcome guys. Thank you for joining.
[00:02:17] Austin will be here in a second.
[00:02:19] Thanks for crashing.
[00:02:21] Right.
[00:02:22] Um, but, um, you know, it's just been a way to, for us, we'll, to all get together for what the season really is, you know, to give thanks and whatnot.
[00:02:32] Um, because honestly, like part of me is like, you guys have been such an integral part of the podcast, you know, since, since 2019.
[00:02:46] Um, and to think it was meeting John at the demo for FF7 remake.
[00:02:55] That was just pure fate. It was just awesome.
[00:03:00] No, it was just, you know, it was just a great day.
[00:03:02] And, you know, like I've told the story before it's like, but like, I can remember the night right before my youngest was, was born.
[00:03:14] And he did a little prayer with me over the phone and everything and, and whatnot.
[00:03:19] And that truly, uh, the love was great because the fact is like, it could have lost him in childbirth.
[00:03:27] So miracle in and of itself that night. So, but I know, well, you are, you are traveling, you're seeing some family.
[00:03:34] How, how's your trip going?
[00:03:36] It's going good. I was just, uh, had dinner with, uh, friends and then some of my, my cousins and things.
[00:03:43] So I got the chance to see some, uh, some of my family and, um, you know, some, some new friends.
[00:03:49] And, you know, I had a great meal and made it back here in time.
[00:03:53] Cause I thought I was under the wire. I was like, Oh no.
[00:03:55] Cause you know what though? Even if you, even if you were a few minutes late, it's like, that's the whole point.
[00:04:01] It's crashing.
[00:04:02] As long as you're here, you know, um, you know, we've, we've had guests do that before.
[00:04:09] Like just jump on in, you know, speaking of speaking of which here, here comes Roche.
[00:04:19] So Austin is joining in here momentarily.
[00:04:21] So we got his crew over from history and joining.
[00:04:25] So just want to, you know, the first time coming in, we've got, you know, I want to say, you know, welcome to Cherry cap.
[00:04:33] Uh, and baby gangsta and Boston.
[00:04:40] What's going on?
[00:04:42] Am I vertical or horizontal?
[00:04:43] Now you're vertical.
[00:04:44] There we go.
[00:04:47] How do I, there we go.
[00:04:49] You were fine, sir.
[00:04:50] Oh, you look great.
[00:04:51] Like this.
[00:04:53] Now you're vertical.
[00:04:54] How do I, how do I think?
[00:04:55] I kind of feel like a Plinko chip at this point.
[00:04:58] There we go.
[00:04:59] That's what I wanted to do.
[00:05:02] What is up?
[00:05:03] How you doing?
[00:05:04] I'm doing all right.
[00:05:05] How about you?
[00:05:06] Eh.
[00:05:07] You're doing all right.
[00:05:08] Oh man.
[00:05:08] Oh, whoa.
[00:05:09] Looking fresh.
[00:05:10] Looking good.
[00:05:11] Wow.
[00:05:12] It's because I wanted the cold air on my head.
[00:05:16] Oh, kind of stay cool.
[00:05:17] Stay cool.
[00:05:18] I guess.
[00:05:18] Yeah.
[00:05:19] Actually.
[00:05:19] Yes.
[00:05:20] Stay breezy.
[00:05:21] I like it.
[00:05:22] All right.
[00:05:22] That's what I'm doing.
[00:05:24] So let's, let's catch up a little bit.
[00:05:26] Cause it's been a bit since both of you guys have been on.
[00:05:28] So, you know, awesome.
[00:05:31] What have you, uh, you've been up to?
[00:05:35] Oh, geez.
[00:05:36] Um, well, the, the, the VG strike has had, had me doing a lot of nothing.
[00:05:43] Um, but yeah, I've been, um, while, while voiceover has been a bit slower than usual,
[00:05:49] I've been focusing on, um, developing my, uh, Megaton girl animated pilot.
[00:05:57] Um, and I'm, I'm streaming a lot more.
[00:06:01] I, I actually now have a set stream schedule.
[00:06:04] Nice.
[00:06:05] Um, I've been drawing a lot more.
[00:06:07] I got more art prints.
[00:06:08] I'm, I've made some stickers that I bring with me to conventions.
[00:06:12] Um, and it's, it's a lot of fun.
[00:06:15] Nice.
[00:06:16] That's awesome.
[00:06:17] Yeah.
[00:06:20] Oh my gosh.
[00:06:21] Will, what have you been up to?
[00:06:23] Uh, me, you know, uh, I got blessed to do some, uh, some dubbing on a, on a series.
[00:06:29] So, um, you know, that kind of just started.
[00:06:32] So that's kind of been keeping me busy, you know, slow some things down.
[00:06:37] Uh, but then I, uh, I got my first convention agent.
[00:06:41] So I.
[00:06:42] Nice man.
[00:06:43] To be, uh, appearing at this, uh, this big, uh, thing called mega back mega mega mega
[00:06:50] bite convention.
[00:06:50] It's going to be, um, at the LA convention center, January 10th through the 12th.
[00:06:55] So, uh, I was like, man, I got to get into some of these conventions because some people
[00:07:00] have asked me, Hey, you going to be around?
[00:07:01] And I see my big brother, John, you know, they're around and be friends.
[00:07:07] And, and, you know, just really say, thanks.
[00:07:09] Thanks for being there.
[00:07:10] Final fantasy community.
[00:07:11] And for the, uh, the other people that love some of the previous titles I've been in.
[00:07:16] And, uh, you know, some other stuff in the works can't really talk about it.
[00:07:21] Hopefully, you know, I have a chance to promote it soon.
[00:07:24] Hopefully the striking thing gets settled and, you know, promotion, but yeah.
[00:07:29] Yeah.
[00:07:29] I'm excited.
[00:07:30] I'm, I'm surprised it's lasted as long as it has.
[00:07:35] Yeah.
[00:07:36] I can't believe it.
[00:07:37] Out of one and into another one.
[00:07:39] Right.
[00:07:40] What?
[00:07:40] Writers then, then the.
[00:07:43] Well, there was the screen actors.
[00:07:45] The screen actors.
[00:07:46] Screen actors.
[00:07:47] And then, and the voice video game actors.
[00:07:50] Mm-hmm.
[00:07:50] So it was like the writer strike.
[00:07:52] Then the, the sag strike.
[00:07:54] You know, TV and all that stuff.
[00:07:58] Studio just knock it off.
[00:07:59] And for video games too.
[00:08:01] Yeah.
[00:08:02] Let's just be done.
[00:08:03] Is there any way we can get like your guys, both of your, uh, uh, interpret, like, um,
[00:08:10] interpretation, like, um, how do you, how do you, how do you feel like it's going,
[00:08:15] the strike at like, do you, do you, how do you read, how are you reading the terrain?
[00:08:21] Is it, do you feel like it's going to be ending soon or it's, this is going to be going
[00:08:27] on for a good while.
[00:08:28] Before I do the answer.
[00:08:30] Answer within the context you guys are maybe allowed to, because we know with the sag strike,
[00:08:35] they basically said anybody speaking out about the strike was kind of going to get blacklisted and.
[00:08:40] Correct.
[00:08:43] I mean, at this point it's, it's kind of, uh, up in the air, man.
[00:08:48] I'm really just trying to work on what I can work on.
[00:08:53] Yeah, pretty much.
[00:08:54] I did some audio book work, um, on, uh, anybody's familiar with Alex cross now, now they're doing
[00:09:01] the series on Amazon crime.
[00:09:03] So hopefully, you know, for those people who didn't know about it.
[00:09:07] Yeah.
[00:09:07] So now that's out, but I, I worked on the third book and the Alex cross franchise.
[00:09:13] Yeah.
[00:09:13] This guy released.
[00:09:14] So I'm playing, um, my character.
[00:09:19] Dang.
[00:09:19] Why'd I just have a memory?
[00:09:21] I'm not saying we, we playing.
[00:09:23] Aren't you playing his brother?
[00:09:25] Uh, John is his best friend.
[00:09:27] I know.
[00:09:27] Or his best friend.
[00:09:29] Let me look at this again.
[00:09:31] We talked about it when we were there in LA.
[00:09:36] Yeah.
[00:09:37] My brain just crashed.
[00:09:38] And I want to, while we're on projects really quick, start of the show.
[00:09:43] I want to, I want to do a little bit of a drop for Austin.
[00:09:47] You guys all need to go over to his YouTube channel for Megaton girl and actually give that
[00:09:54] thing a watch.
[00:09:55] Yes.
[00:09:56] That is, it's a great, it's a great project.
[00:09:58] Thank you.
[00:09:59] Um, some of, I was, I was just about to say, like, I want to commend on the cat.
[00:10:03] The cast is awesome.
[00:10:05] Like, have you both checked it out?
[00:10:08] I've checked it out.
[00:10:09] I need, I need to catch up.
[00:10:11] Yeah.
[00:10:11] I need, I need to catch up.
[00:10:13] I listened to it before you did the, the live, the cartooning for it or the animation for it.
[00:10:19] So I listened to the whole thing as the audio.
[00:10:21] Yeah.
[00:10:21] Hell yeah.
[00:10:22] Yeah.
[00:10:23] We're working on the audio.
[00:10:24] I need to catch up though.
[00:10:25] But, but man, so cast is incredible.
[00:10:29] Honestly, dude, like, like everyone just absolutely just, just eats it up.
[00:10:34] Like the whole time.
[00:10:35] It's great.
[00:10:36] And like some actors who are just wildly underrated, just swing for the fences.
[00:10:42] And I love it.
[00:10:43] Mm-hmm.
[00:10:44] Yeah.
[00:10:44] Um, yeah.
[00:10:46] And it's, it's one of those ones I think everybody needs to give a shot to because it is a great,
[00:10:52] it is a great thing.
[00:10:53] And you know what?
[00:10:55] It, it's Austin's baby.
[00:10:58] You've wanted to do this for so long.
[00:11:00] The audio was great.
[00:11:03] The animation that you're working on it, you know?
[00:11:05] Yeah.
[00:11:06] Yeah.
[00:11:07] And I think once you can finally get to a season two, um, I think we need to get Will involved
[00:11:12] with that.
[00:11:13] Yeah.
[00:11:14] I, I actually, I, um, I have talked to John about playing a very central character to season
[00:11:22] two.
[00:11:23] So I'm very excited about that.
[00:11:26] Yeah.
[00:11:26] I, I, I talked to John.
[00:11:27] It was basically a, uh, you had me at hello situation.
[00:11:33] Cool.
[00:11:34] Um, and then you guys did a little bit of work for, uh, for Ray Kaufman.
[00:11:42] John.
[00:11:43] Yes.
[00:11:43] For.
[00:11:44] Yes.
[00:11:44] Yes.
[00:11:44] Yes.
[00:11:45] I'm just like, I just watched, uh, princess and the frog again recently.
[00:11:52] So the first Ray was on my mind.
[00:11:54] It was like, Oh, if Angeline, if Angeline, that's what I had on my mind.
[00:11:59] Oh my God.
[00:12:01] Yeah.
[00:12:01] Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I've got Aurora is really good.
[00:12:09] It is.
[00:12:10] And going to pot.
[00:12:14] I love that.
[00:12:15] I love that.
[00:12:17] I love that.
[00:12:17] Well, but, uh, but no, so I think hopefully that that takes off, gives you guys some more
[00:12:24] runway, some more work to do.
[00:12:26] I hope that Aurora takes off.
[00:12:28] That'd be great if it did.
[00:12:30] I can't wait to see.
[00:12:31] I'm, I'm holding off on seeing the, uh, the animated right now.
[00:12:34] Cause I, cause I can already, I can imagine it already just from the audio, but, uh, yeah,
[00:12:39] I can't wait to see it.
[00:12:41] Uh, from, from, from, for Aurora.
[00:12:44] For Aurora.
[00:12:45] Yeah.
[00:12:46] Yeah.
[00:12:47] The, the, the, the animation is great.
[00:12:49] I've checked out the previews and it, it looks incredible.
[00:12:52] Yeah.
[00:12:54] Now I do want to give some shots while we're waiting for, for John to show up and stuff,
[00:12:58] but, um, Caleb, Mallory and Danny all wanted me to wish everybody a Merry Christmas.
[00:13:06] They had some other stuff going on.
[00:13:08] Um, Caleb is visiting family.
[00:13:11] Um, he's down with his folks, uh, and they're getting to see the little one for their, you
[00:13:15] know, for her first Christmas.
[00:13:18] Uh, Mallory's with, with family tonight.
[00:13:21] Um, Ray may pop in, but, um, but yeah, so just a lot of love.
[00:13:27] Mallory's got a lot going on to you right now.
[00:13:28] Oh, good.
[00:13:30] You know?
[00:13:31] So I finally got to meet Caleb in November.
[00:13:35] Yeah.
[00:13:35] That was a lot of fun.
[00:13:36] He's a great guy.
[00:13:37] Yeah.
[00:13:38] Yeah.
[00:13:38] He is a ball of energy.

[00:16:08] Um, John just texted me.

[00:16:31] The couch floor, man.
[00:16:32] You were lounging.
[00:16:33] Oh, see?
[00:16:34] Oh, see?
[00:16:36] They called me out on it.
[00:16:37] Like, you know.
[00:16:38] Just got to break in the new couch.
[00:16:40] I mean.
[00:16:40] We have to have a new couch.
[00:16:42] You know, it's going to be a new year.
[00:16:43] A new couch a little bit.
[00:16:44] They were, uh, they were getting on me because it's been a while since I had that old couch.
[00:16:49] And a hundred episodes.
[00:16:50] You know.
[00:16:51] Only a hundred.
[00:16:52] Okay.
[00:16:53] But it was, it was a nice couch.
[00:16:55] So this one, we had to go a little bit new.
[00:16:57] I would say that was the default couch.
[00:16:58] Now we've got our hipster couch.
[00:17:00] Yeah.
[00:17:00] We got the new age couch.
[00:17:01] The 2024 couch, you know, 2025 couch to be.
[00:17:05] Yep.
[00:17:06] Well, so.
[00:17:08] But yeah.
[00:17:09] Still growing on me.
[00:17:10] Still growing on me.
[00:17:10] To Cherry Cap, you know, saying, hey, FF7 is the best.
[00:17:14] You know what?
[00:17:15] Yeah.
[00:17:16] It's, it is like from an RPG perspective, the only game that tops it from an RPG perspective.
[00:17:25] And I'm going back to the OG Final Fantasy VII is Chrono Trigger.
[00:17:29] I'm about to say, you're going to say Chrono Trigger.
[00:17:31] Yes.
[00:17:32] You guys all know me well.
[00:17:33] Like Chrono.
[00:17:34] And overall, may I say congratulations on, on the nominations and the, and I believe the win from in the game awards.
[00:17:42] You guys did an amazing job.
[00:17:45] It was awesome.
[00:17:46] Yeah.
[00:17:47] You got Ash.
[00:17:48] I thought you were going to say best RPG is Ash Robot.
[00:17:51] No.
[00:17:52] Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[00:17:54] But, but just being, being nominated and recognized.
[00:17:56] That's, that's.
[00:17:57] I mean, but it also won other awards.
[00:17:59] Yeah.
[00:18:00] The globe.
[00:18:01] You know, at all the different.
[00:18:01] It also won game of the year for like a bunch of other award shows too.
[00:18:05] Just.
[00:18:05] Yeah.
[00:18:05] Yeah.
[00:18:06] Yeah.
[00:18:07] I mean, this year let's take out, you know, elders or whatever Elden Ring with the DLC.
[00:18:14] Take that out of the equation.
[00:18:15] Right.
[00:18:15] This was a, I mean, some of the nominees in those other shows and even the game awards, it was a hard category.
[00:18:21] This was a better year.
[00:18:22] It was a tough year.
[00:18:24] And.
[00:18:24] I'm surprised that Persona 3 Reload wasn't nominated for game of the year.
[00:18:30] There was a lot of that this year too.
[00:18:32] Yeah.
[00:18:32] A lot of like, I think this should have been nominated over this.
[00:18:36] There was.
[00:18:37] I think.
[00:18:37] Yeah.
[00:18:37] That's why I think there was a lot of good games that I think kind of missed out as well.
[00:18:43] Yeah.
[00:18:43] Yeah.
[00:18:44] Was Dragon Age nominated for game of the year?
[00:18:47] I.
[00:18:47] Not for the game awards.
[00:18:49] No.
[00:18:49] It was the Vale Guard was nominated a couple other shows for game of the year, but no, it didn't really get nominated all that much.
[00:18:56] And honestly, like as much of a Dragon Age fan as I, I have been in the past.
[00:19:02] I didn't even pick it up at launch.
[00:19:04] I'm waiting on it because I've got such a deep backlog right now that I, you know, decided to go back and still play Animal Crossing and Horizon.
[00:19:11] I need to play it at some point.
[00:19:12] You know, but.
[00:19:14] I'm stuck on the right now.
[00:19:16] It wasn't received well.
[00:19:17] Like it, it's had mixed reviews and whatnot, which makes me a little worried is did, how much of a hand did EA have in, with Vale Guard?
[00:19:29] Because I've been hearing like a lot of the opposite.
[00:19:31] I've been hearing like, like from like, like friends of mine that it's good.
[00:19:35] Like my, my roommate could not put it down.
[00:19:38] Ooh.
[00:19:39] Okay.
[00:19:40] Yeah.
[00:19:40] Okay.
[00:19:41] See, I haven't talked to many people that have actually played the game.
[00:19:44] Like it's mostly, you look at the reception of what's out there.
[00:19:48] There's not a lot of people I've seen that actually come out and said, yeah, I played the game and it was great.
[00:19:52] So, so the consensus could be the, the whole IGN like review deal where it's not the real thing where the actual fans are loving the game.
[00:20:03] Yeah.
[00:20:04] From, from, from what I've actually seen, a lot of the review bombs have been from people who are upset that there's queer people in it.
[00:20:12] Oh no.
[00:20:13] Yeah.
[00:20:14] I'm just like, hmm, this seems familiar.
[00:20:16] Just like everybody who's already bombing intergalactic.
[00:20:19] Like, or everybody who bought it.
[00:20:21] Oh yeah.
[00:20:23] Megatunger.
[00:20:23] God, that was horrible.
[00:20:25] Yeah.
[00:20:25] Like there was, when that happened.
[00:20:26] So I'm just like, hmm, this sounds familiar.
[00:20:27] It happens a lot.
[00:20:28] Yep.
[00:20:29] Yeah.
[00:20:29] If you played the first Dragon, Dragon Age though.
[00:20:33] Dragon Age Origins.
[00:20:35] God, I love that game.
[00:20:37] I'm more into two than Origins.
[00:20:40] I really likes two.
[00:20:41] Mm-hmm.
[00:20:42] Yeah.
[00:20:43] Is, is, is, is the, uh, the new one, does it have like that, uh, compatibility factor?
[00:20:49] Like the character, I remember creating a character in one, beating that, and then they talk about, if you could like, I think port the character into two.
[00:20:57] I left off really with two.
[00:20:59] I, I, I think that.
[00:21:01] That sounds vaguely familiar.
[00:21:03] I feel like you could have done that.
[00:21:04] I don't know if they import your inquis, your inquisition character into Veilgar.
[00:21:10] I don't, I know that they mention your inquisition character.
[00:21:13] And I'm pretty sure that if you don't have an inquisition character that I think that there is like, you can like make your inquisitor.
[00:21:19] Kind of like the, the comic in Mass Effect where it's like, Hey, you can go back through and.
[00:21:24] Yeah, that's right.
[00:21:26] And do all your, your options ahead of time.
[00:21:28] I just played through the Mass Effect games again.
[00:21:30] So it's fresh on my mind.
[00:21:31] I am still going back through three, which is like, I keep being sidetracked by like horizon.
[00:21:35] I'm like a third of the way through.
[00:21:39] Mass Effect three.
[00:21:42] And man, I still love that game.
[00:21:44] I adore three.
[00:21:45] I think it's amazing.
[00:21:50] Going back through everything again with a fresh mind again.
[00:21:53] Like when I first, first went through Mass Effect three, I hated the ending to that.
[00:21:56] Like all that work, all that a hundred plus hours across all three games.
[00:22:00] And they give us a two minute ending.
[00:22:03] It was like, Oh, but now I'm going back through and appreciating it a lot more.
[00:22:08] Yeah.
[00:22:09] Yeah.
[00:22:09] But for me, it's the journey.
[00:22:10] Also like what a franchise.
[00:22:12] You would appreciate it.
[00:22:13] Just what a franchise.
[00:22:15] Oh, baby.
[00:22:17] Oh, that's the Cerberus version.
[00:22:21] Oh, that's my girl right there.
[00:22:25] Oh, the Normandy.
[00:22:27] Oh, look at these guys.
[00:22:29] The Normandy guys.
[00:22:31] Oh, that's my beautiful ship right there.
[00:22:33] Oh, I love that ship.
[00:22:36] Oh, yeah.
[00:22:39] Thank you, Matt.
[00:22:40] That was for Matt as well.
[00:22:42] Yeah.
[00:22:44] Yeah.
[00:22:44] Jason doesn't appreciate the finer things in life like Mass Effect.
[00:22:47] That's okay.
[00:22:48] It's okay.
[00:22:49] Hey, you know what?
[00:22:49] You know what, man?
[00:22:50] And seven for life, baby.
[00:22:52] Here's what I want.
[00:22:53] I want like a moment like in Super Smash Brothers Brawl when all of the Nintendo ships come out
[00:23:01] of the explosion.
[00:23:02] I want that, but for a bunch of non-Nintendo ships.
[00:23:07] Ooh.
[00:23:07] Okay.
[00:23:08] Yeah.
[00:23:09] I want that.
[00:23:10] What would be your ships?
[00:23:11] The Normandy.
[00:23:12] Good question.
[00:23:14] A Pelican.
[00:23:16] Okay.
[00:23:19] If we're going for non-Nintendo ships, it's the Normandy, a Pelican, the Highwind.
[00:23:33] And then one more.
[00:23:34] What's another like really iconic one?
[00:23:39] It's a non-Nintendo, right?
[00:23:41] Yeah.
[00:23:41] Non-Nintendo.
[00:23:44] I could name quite a few that aren't in gaming, but that are in movies.
[00:23:48] I was going to say, yeah.
[00:23:49] I was going there too, like, because I was having a rough time thinking of gaming.
[00:23:54] Yeah.
[00:23:54] I guess if we were taking away.
[00:23:57] Oh, you know what?
[00:23:58] I know one that's gaming and not gaming.
[00:24:02] The freaking Outrider from Shadows of the Empire.
[00:24:04] Thank you.
[00:24:05] I was just going.
[00:24:06] I was like Dash Rendar's ship.
[00:24:08] What was that called?
[00:24:08] Good one.
[00:24:09] Good one.
[00:24:10] Deep cut too.
[00:24:11] Good one.
[00:24:12] I know it's a Nintendo one, but like, I really want the R-Wing.
[00:24:16] I just got to say it.
[00:24:17] I know it's Nintendo.
[00:24:18] Dude, that'd be awesome.
[00:24:19] But Adam Crow Gaming just put, it was like, I was getting ready to, I was trying to remember
[00:24:23] the name of that ship too.
[00:24:25] The Ebon Hawk from Nice New York Republic.
[00:24:27] The Ebon Hawk.
[00:24:28] Why didn't I think of that?
[00:24:29] I just played.
[00:24:30] I just played Coder 2.
[00:24:32] Yo, another deep cut.
[00:24:35] Yeah, I forgot about that one too.
[00:24:37] I just played Coder 2.
[00:24:38] I should remember that.
[00:24:39] What was the, oh, dude.
[00:24:41] What was the one, you know what was a good one?
[00:24:44] In Force Unleashed.
[00:24:46] Starkillers.
[00:24:47] That ship had a name.
[00:24:50] I forgot that one.
[00:24:51] That was a decent one.
[00:24:53] Oh, I don't know the name of the ship.
[00:24:56] I forgot.
[00:24:57] I don't know.
[00:24:59] That's a, yeah.
[00:25:01] Kudos to you for remembering a game ship.
[00:25:03] That's tough.
[00:25:04] Yeah.
[00:25:05] What a big up and you can put on the screen.
[00:25:07] The Rogue Shadow.
[00:25:09] Rogue Shadow, yeah.
[00:25:11] That was a good one.
[00:25:12] Yeah, the Rogue Shadow.
[00:25:13] That's what it is.
[00:25:14] Yep.
[00:25:16] I would definitely have to go, you know, Falcon, Serenity.
[00:25:23] And.
[00:25:26] Rob Ship from Aliens?
[00:25:28] Yep.
[00:25:29] Ooh, good one.
[00:25:30] Good one.
[00:25:31] Ooh.
[00:25:31] That's a good one.
[00:25:33] There you go.
[00:25:34] What about, Matt, what about you?
[00:25:37] God, you guys are taking all the good ones.
[00:25:38] Like, that'd be my point.
[00:25:40] I mean, at this point, I know it's not a ship, but just give me the DeLorean.
[00:25:44] The Back to the Future 2 version.
[00:25:45] Oh, there you go.
[00:25:47] Oh, he's so sick.
[00:25:48] That's the last episode, baby.
[00:25:49] The wheels came up.
[00:25:51] Yep.
[00:25:52] Yep.
[00:25:53] Hey, it's overconverted.
[00:25:54] Technically, it's a shit now.
[00:25:56] It's a shit.
[00:25:57] It's all things.
[00:25:59] Yeah.
[00:25:59] Yeah.
[00:26:01] Yeah.
[00:26:02] So, I mean, those would be some of my choices already.
[00:26:04] I mean, but.
[00:26:07] My still, when it comes to Star Wars, my favorite is still the X-Wing, though.
[00:26:11] That's just.
[00:26:12] I love the classic.
[00:26:14] Both.
[00:26:15] Yeah.
[00:26:15] Original classic and.
[00:26:18] New trilogy versions.
[00:26:20] I love them both.
[00:26:21] Yeah, they're cool.
[00:26:22] So.
[00:26:23] Although I would say.
[00:26:26] I have a.
[00:26:27] I do have a quite the appreciation for the Razor Crest.
[00:26:31] From Mandalorian.
[00:26:32] The Razor Crest is beautiful.
[00:26:34] Yeah.
[00:26:34] But it's a long distance freighter.
[00:26:39] Or a starship.
[00:26:41] You know, it has a bunk.
[00:26:43] You know, it has all these things that, like.
[00:26:46] He was self-sustained as a bounty hunter.
[00:26:48] It was just, like.
[00:26:49] I really appreciated it.
[00:26:51] And it had those little.
[00:26:52] Those little perks that he, like, customized.
[00:26:54] And it was cool.
[00:26:56] Yeah.
[00:26:57] I'm also a big fan of the fire spray.
[00:26:59] I'm sorry.
[00:26:59] I just.
[00:27:00] I love the fire spray.
[00:27:01] Yeah.
[00:27:02] Gorgeous.
[00:27:02] If we're going.
[00:27:03] If we're driving that route.
[00:27:05] Then I want the.
[00:27:05] I want the Defiant.
[00:27:07] From.
[00:27:08] From Deep Space Nine.
[00:27:10] Or the.
[00:27:10] Or the ghost.
[00:27:11] From Rebels.
[00:27:13] Oh, ghost.
[00:27:14] Yeah.
[00:27:15] Ghost would be iconic.
[00:27:15] That's a good one.
[00:27:16] I mean, at this point.
[00:27:17] We might as well just take the entire.
[00:27:19] Cinematic universe.
[00:27:20] You know.
[00:27:20] All the cinematic movies out there.
[00:27:22] And just do.
[00:27:23] The Rise of Skywalker.
[00:27:25] Just that whole scene.
[00:27:26] But it's now we're including like.
[00:27:28] You know.
[00:27:29] The Milano shows up.
[00:27:30] You know.
[00:27:31] Yeah.
[00:27:31] The Milano bro.
[00:27:33] Yeah.
[00:27:34] Oh, that'd be sweet.

[00:28:56] It was some game on the TV.
[00:28:58] I forgot what you call it.
[00:28:59] It wasn't.
[00:29:00] I was.
[00:29:01] Yeah.
[00:29:01] It's Fibbage.
[00:29:02] I think it was the name of it.
[00:29:04] Fibbage is fun.
[00:29:05] Yeah.

[00:29:27] got to hang out with.

[00:29:33] Definitely.
[00:29:33] That makes me happy man to see everybody doing this.
[00:29:36] Austin did you get a haircut?
[00:29:39] Uh.
[00:29:39] Yeah.
[00:29:40] Oh.
[00:29:41] Like for real.
[00:29:42] I was like is that bleeding into the black background?
[00:29:45] Yeah.
[00:29:45] No.
[00:29:46] It's gone.
[00:29:47] Wow.
[00:29:48] Yeah.
[00:29:49] I like the cold air on my head.
[00:29:52] That's all good.
[00:29:53] Trying to get that little Jason Statham look.
[00:29:55] I ain't mad at you baby.
[00:29:56] Yeah.
[00:29:56] There we go.
[00:29:57] And I just want to say Austin brought some viewers along from his stream to hang out with
[00:30:02] us tonight.
[00:30:03] So again for you guys that are hanging out in chat.
[00:30:06] Any questions you guys want to ask?
[00:30:08] Go for it.
[00:30:08] Drop them in chat.
[00:30:09] We will.
[00:30:10] Yeah.
[00:30:11] Try and ask him over the next half hour while we're we're hanging out and finish things up
[00:30:14] before I bounce out at the bottom of the hour to.
[00:30:17] Well, you got to go.
[00:30:19] I'm going to take the kids to go see Christmas lights.
[00:30:21] That's what I'm talking about right there.
[00:30:23] Good job.
[00:30:25] Also, just so you know, Will, you are still muted.
[00:30:27] Just so you know, if you if you didn't know you were still muted.
[00:30:31] I heard him.
[00:30:32] OK.
[00:30:34] He's got guests.
[00:30:36] Oh, I guess.
[00:30:37] Yeah.
[00:30:38] Got it.
[00:30:38] OK.
[00:30:39] I got you.
[00:30:40] Yeah.
[00:30:42] Wait, wait, wait, wait.
[00:30:43] Is there a sandwich under the couch?
[00:30:45] I didn't get to.
[00:30:46] No, no, no, no.
[00:30:47] This time.
[00:30:48] This time.
[00:30:49] This time.
[00:30:50] This time.
[00:30:52] This is a clean couch.
[00:30:53] There's no eating on it so far.
[00:30:55] I had to check.
[00:30:56] I had to check.
[00:30:58] That's why I was a little late, too.
[00:31:00] That's why I was a little late.
[00:31:01] That is.
[00:31:01] John's going to be on.
[00:31:02] Oh, I can't.
[00:31:04] Not this year.
[00:31:04] It is.
[00:31:05] It is John's first time seeing the new couch.
[00:31:08] It is.
[00:31:09] That's a new one.
[00:31:10] That looks straight out.
[00:31:11] You know, it is.
[00:31:14] It is that whole every hundred episodes.
[00:31:16] We got to change out the couch.
[00:31:18] So every hundred.
[00:31:19] Sometimes sooner.
[00:31:20] Sometimes sooner.
[00:31:21] Sometimes.
[00:31:22] But we just changed it out not too long ago.
[00:31:24] You know, we're feeling it out.
[00:31:27] Yeah.
[00:31:27] This one's still on the fence.
[00:31:28] I like it.
[00:31:29] Jerry, Matt.
[00:31:30] Jerry, you know he had to sweep them crumbs out from under.
[00:31:33] That's why he changed it out.
[00:31:34] That was so bad.
[00:31:35] Yeah.
[00:31:36] Yeah.
[00:31:36] Yeah.
[00:31:37] Yeah.
[00:31:38] Yeah.
[00:31:38] Yeah.
[00:31:39] Yeah.
[00:31:43] It looks kind of hard.
[00:31:45] Yeah.
[00:31:45] It's like.
[00:31:46] It doesn't look comfortable.
[00:31:47] There are episodes where I'm about it.
[00:31:49] It looks like I'm going to see a shrink.
[00:31:52] It's like laying out of the shrink's couch.
[00:31:53] Exactly.
[00:31:54] It looks like my couch but yellow.
[00:31:55] It looks like a Shade Lounge like shrink thing.
[00:31:59] Yeah.
[00:31:59] It looks like somebody peed on my couch.
[00:32:02] It's open, easy.
[00:32:03] Yeah.
[00:32:04] Oh, you said something about the color.
[00:32:06] That was cold.
[00:32:07] That was awesome.
[00:32:09] I love how Jason is defending.
[00:32:11] I just love how he's defending.
[00:32:13] He's trying.
[00:32:14] Bless his heart.
[00:32:15] If you get a sandwich, maybe we'll give you some slack.
[00:32:19] Get a sandwich and put it on the couch.
[00:32:20] Then we're okay.
[00:32:22] Speaking of sandwiches, I just moved across the street from a Capriati sandwich place.
[00:32:27] Oh, man.
[00:32:28] Ooh.
[00:32:28] Broke yet?
[00:32:29] I got, I want to eat there every day.
[00:32:32] They've got a, they've got like a Thanksgiving dinner sandwich that is just so damn good.
[00:32:37] What's the dinner sandwich?
[00:32:38] Does it mean it has stuffing on it too?
[00:32:40] Yeah.
[00:32:40] It's got stuffing.
[00:32:41] It's got turkey stuffing, cranberry sauce.
[00:32:44] What?
[00:32:45] It's good.
[00:32:46] Just show him that new haircut, sexy boy.
[00:32:48] You'll be all right.
[00:32:51] And just stir them with a Jermaine.
[00:32:54] Exactly.
[00:32:54] Exactly.
[00:32:55] I'm here for Thanksgiving.
[00:32:57] I'm here for the Thanksgiving sandwich.
[00:32:59] I'll take the Thanksgiving sandwich, Jermaine.
[00:33:01] And if you don't get it tonight, I'm going to put your lights out.
[00:33:07] There it is.
[00:33:08] No job, no service.
[00:33:09] You know what?
[00:33:10] You know what?
[00:33:12] Roadmix, I'm sorry, but he's probably going to make you hungry because once we go off rails
[00:33:17] on this, it's, yeah, it's done.
[00:33:18] So that's funny.
[00:33:23] So I want to do something real quick because especially since we've got some guests in
[00:33:28] chat and stuff, this is something that John and Austin have already done.
[00:33:33] And if you want to see the clip of this, go onto our past videos.
[00:33:38] I've got it clipped there.
[00:33:39] Oh, I know what this is.
[00:33:40] Yeah, I know exactly what this is.
[00:33:42] We did this year too.
[00:33:43] Will, we are going to break them in to this holiday tradition that we've had.
[00:33:52] So everybody, so Mallory and Austin and Danny and John and everybody answered the question.
[00:34:01] Rick did it too, didn't he?
[00:34:02] Rick did it too.
[00:34:02] Yeah.
[00:34:03] Oh, okay.
[00:34:04] Okay.
[00:34:05] So, and that is answering as rude.
[00:34:10] Okay.
[00:34:11] Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?
[00:34:14] And be honest, rude.
[00:34:17] Yes, but we've got to do it for the Christmas show.
[00:34:22] So is Die Hard a Christmas movie?
[00:34:24] Of course it is.
[00:34:26] Is it?
[00:34:27] Is it, rude?
[00:34:27] You got nothing?
[00:34:28] You got nothing?
[00:34:30] It's on Amazon Prime right now.
[00:34:32] Is that how rude talks?
[00:34:34] It's on Amazon Prime right now.
[00:34:35] Ah!
[00:34:36] Oh!
[00:34:40] Case dismissed.
[00:34:41] You know what the new debate is now?
[00:34:44] Is Gremlins a Christmas movie?
[00:34:48] Everyone's starting that now.
[00:34:49] Yeah.
[00:34:50] Gremlins won.
[00:34:51] Strange Batch or the first one?
[00:34:52] First one.
[00:34:53] First one is.
[00:34:54] First one is.
[00:34:54] Yeah.
[00:34:55] Absolutely.
[00:34:56] Absolutely.
[00:34:56] It's during Christmas and it's snowing the entire movie.
[00:35:00] And quite honest, the theme song for Gremlins, it's a Christmas song-ish.
[00:35:05] I mean, the-ish.
[00:35:11] Oh, y'all.
[00:35:12] Oh, y'all.
[00:35:13] Just-
[00:35:14] Oh, you can't say nothing, Newcast boy.
[00:35:17] No.
[00:35:18] No, no, no, no.
[00:35:20] I will still-
[00:35:21] I still don't-
[00:35:23] I've seen Die Hard.
[00:35:24] It's still not a Christmas movie.
[00:35:26] Still not a Christmas movie.
[00:35:26] What?
[00:35:27] What?
[00:35:27] Gremlins or Die Hard?
[00:35:28] What's wrong with you?
[00:35:29] Gremlins, I gotta watch again.
[00:35:31] Yeah, you gotta watch.
[00:35:32] No, Die Hard just takes place on Christmas.
[00:35:35] You got some candy canes-
[00:35:37] It's a Christmas movie, dude.
[00:35:39] No, it's not.
[00:35:39] It's not a Christmas movie.
[00:35:41] Yes, it is.
[00:35:41] Did you say Die Hard is not a Christmas movie either?
[00:35:44] No.
[00:35:45] That's what he thinks.
[00:35:46] What's the song at the end of the credits of Die Hard?
[00:35:49] The original.
[00:35:50] Mm-hmm.
[00:35:51] Mm-hmm.
[00:35:51] The size of life.
[00:35:54] What's Christmas music at the end?
[00:35:56] Mm-hmm.
[00:35:57] Okay.
[00:35:57] What was the party?
[00:35:58] You can put Christmas music at the end of any movie and it'd be fine.
[00:36:01] What was the party that was celebrating?
[00:36:02] You just said it was on Christmas Day.
[00:36:05] It was during Christmas time.
[00:36:06] You know what?
[00:36:07] At this point-
[00:36:08] It's a Christmas movie.
[00:36:09] At this point, we just need to call Jason-
[00:36:11] So you agree that Harry Potter is a Christmas movie?
[00:36:14] Harry Potter?
[00:36:15] Where'd you get that from?
[00:36:16] No.
[00:36:16] Where are you dragging that out of?
[00:36:17] No, because Harry Potter happens for Christmas time.
[00:36:19] Christmas for five minutes in Harry Potter?
[00:36:20] But it's always during a time transition.
[00:36:24] It always shows-
[00:36:25] But it's still during Christmas time, though.
[00:36:27] Harry Potter's in his whole world.
[00:36:29] Because they're always predominant in the books.
[00:36:31] Oh, yeah.
[00:36:32] Exactly.
[00:36:33] So Harry Potter is a Christmas-
[00:36:34] Like-
[00:36:35] Die Hard is in the real world.
[00:36:37] Harry Potter is a Harry Potter movie.
[00:36:38] You're splitting hairs now.
[00:36:39] You're splitting hairs.
[00:36:40] You're reaching.
[00:36:41] How am I splitting hairs?
[00:36:41] Harry Potter takes place during Christmas for five minutes.
[00:36:44] Die Hard takes place for 120 minutes.
[00:36:44] You know what, bro?
[00:36:44] Hey, Jason, you know what?
[00:36:45] You know what?
[00:36:47] Keep fishing, baby.
[00:36:48] Keep fishing.
[00:36:48] Whatever.
[00:36:49] Whatever.
[00:36:49] Whatever.
[00:36:49] You know what I'm gonna tell you?
[00:36:50] So says the Red Dead Redemption fan.
[00:36:53] Hey, hey, hey.
[00:36:53] You know what?
[00:36:54] Have you seen that internet sensation?
[00:36:56] It ain't a sandwich.
[00:36:58] If the main character in Die Hard-
[00:37:01] You know what?
[00:37:01] At this point-
[00:37:02] It's not a Christmas movie.
[00:37:03] At this point, we should just call Jason the bellman.
[00:37:08] You know, Rob Schneider's character from Home Alone 2.
[00:37:11] No.
[00:37:11] We're gonna start calling Jason.
[00:37:13] You're a mean one.
[00:37:17] You've got candy cane in your beard.
[00:37:21] You've got a couch that looks like puke.
[00:37:24] Let me stop.
[00:37:24] Let me stop.
[00:37:25] Let me stop.
[00:37:25] Let me stop.
[00:37:26] Let me stop.
[00:37:27] Let it breathe.
[00:37:28] Cook.
[00:37:29] Oh, man.
[00:37:29] You just reminded me of The Critic.
[00:37:31] Have you ever seen The Critic?
[00:37:33] Yes.
[00:37:33] Yes.
[00:37:34] Oh, what luck.
[00:37:35] There's a French fry in my beard.
[00:37:40] Oh, my God.
[00:37:42] Roger, you ain't gonna win this.
[00:37:43] Yeah.
[00:37:44] Jason, it's okay.
[00:37:45] I know.
[00:37:45] I'm not.
[00:37:46] It's okay.
[00:37:47] It's okay.
[00:37:47] It's okay.
[00:37:48] Tell your wife.
[00:37:50] Tell your wife.
[00:37:50] It's still not a Christmas movie.
[00:37:53] It's still not a Christmas movie.
[00:37:54] You need some food in your system.
[00:37:57] Okay.
[00:37:57] Here's a question.
[00:37:59] Outside of Christmas Nights into Dreams, what is a good game to play at Christmas?
[00:38:05] Oh, the one I just played.
[00:38:07] What'd you just play?
[00:38:08] That fibbage thing?
[00:38:11] I mean, like a Christmassy kind of game.
[00:38:13] Like a game that gives like a Christmas.
[00:38:14] Two and ladders.
[00:38:15] Okay.
[00:38:15] Candy Cane Lane.
[00:38:17] Okay.
[00:38:18] Yeah.
[00:38:18] Candy Cane Lane.
[00:38:19] That's a good question.
[00:38:23] What's a good?
[00:38:23] Poker is pretty damn fun.
[00:38:25] It is?
[00:38:26] It is.
[00:38:28] I mean, it depends.
[00:38:28] You know, you have a Christmas theme.
[00:38:30] You can get some cocoa and some marshmallows and play poker.
[00:38:35] Yeah.
[00:38:35] Nice.
[00:38:36] All your Christmas money.
[00:38:38] Yes.
[00:38:39] Yeah.
[00:38:40] Somebody.
[00:38:42] And this is just more of a game night lately, but I'm going to go with Uno Flip.
[00:38:50] I'm going to go a little old school, but me and my brother actually used to do like fighting games.
[00:39:00] So like we actually did Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter.
[00:39:05] And I was not great, but I was pretty decent in Mortal Kombat.
[00:39:09] But like we played games that we were both good at.
[00:39:12] But it was weird that we went to fighting games because he was mostly a driving gamer.
[00:39:18] And like I was a single player story.
[00:39:21] But like, you know, every once in a while, like even like Christmas, like you want to go?
[00:39:26] Like, yeah.
[00:39:27] Yeah.
[00:39:28] Growing up.
[00:39:29] I just borrowed my niece dead or alive.
[00:39:31] Or Madden.
[00:39:33] Yeah, Madden was the answer.
[00:39:34] I literally just borrowed my niece dead or alive.
[00:39:37] Literally.
[00:39:38] I'm like, I don't want to see that go.
[00:39:39] But go ahead.
[00:39:40] I'll see it at Easter.
[00:39:42] For me, growing up, it was always Super Mario World.
[00:39:47] That's a good one.
[00:39:48] And that is because I got the Super Nintendo at Christmas.
[00:39:54] Sweet.
[00:39:55] Oh, that's cool.
[00:39:56] And I had that.
[00:39:57] It was that and SimCity and F-Zero.
[00:40:02] You didn't tell me you meant video games.
[00:40:05] No.
[00:40:06] Sorry.
[00:40:06] I meant to say video games.
[00:40:07] I apologize.
[00:40:08] Well, I just got finished playing Guilty Gear and that was pretty doggone fun.
[00:40:12] Oh, heck yeah.
[00:40:14] Guilty Gear is free.
[00:40:15] Good one, dude.
[00:40:16] What a soundtrack, too.
[00:40:17] Mario was your go-to, huh?
[00:40:19] Mario World.
[00:40:20] Nice.
[00:40:21] Mario World.
[00:40:21] Nice because, honestly, like as a kid, I got the Super Nintendo at Christmas.
[00:40:25] Like with SimCity and F-Zero.
[00:40:28] So, like, Mario World is just great.
[00:40:31] It's my favorite Mario game.
[00:40:34] I'm pretty sure that my friend Vinny is actually probably playing Super Mario World right now.
[00:40:39] I think he's actually probably.
[00:40:40] Because that's his Christmas game.
[00:40:42] I would definitely have to say my best Christmas, like, opening present moment was getting my Xbox.
[00:40:49] But first game was playing Halo.
[00:40:53] Like, that was, like, the huge, like, Christmas moment.
[00:40:57] Halo is a good game to play at the holidays because there's so many levels that just takes place in the snow.
[00:41:02] Yeah.
[00:41:03] Yeah.
[00:41:04] I think so, too.
[00:41:05] That's funny.
[00:41:05] You guys see that.
[00:41:07] That's the question right there, Austin.
[00:41:08] Your first Christmas video game.
[00:41:11] My first Christmas video game?
[00:41:12] There you go.
[00:41:13] Super Mario 64.
[00:41:15] Yeah.
[00:41:16] See?
[00:41:16] Oh, dude.
[00:41:17] See?
[00:41:18] Mine's a little deep.
[00:41:20] Mine's a...
[00:41:21] My first video game was actually my first console and video game was Nintendo with Zapper.
[00:41:28] Which one?
[00:41:29] Which one?
[00:41:30] First NES.
[00:41:31] The first one.
[00:41:32] The Zapper.
[00:41:33] And the dual Duck Hunt Mario Brother.
[00:41:36] Oh, you had rich parents.
[00:41:38] Oh, yeah.
[00:41:39] No, that was the bundle.
[00:41:42] That was the bundle.
[00:41:43] The packet?
[00:41:43] That was the packet.
[00:41:44] No, they came separate.
[00:41:47] No, they came separate.
[00:41:48] I'm messing with you.
[00:41:50] Oh, my God.
[00:41:53] Mine was Atari 2600, Space Invaders, and Asteroids.
[00:41:58] Oh, sweet.
[00:42:00] Yeah, pull out the cane right now.
[00:42:01] Oh, man.
[00:42:02] Okay.
[00:42:04] I was so jazzed when I got the Nintendo.
[00:42:07] So, if we're talking first, my first game that I remember getting at Christmas was Tron Deadly Disc on the Intellivision 2.
[00:42:17] Go ahead, boy.
[00:42:18] Jesus, man.
[00:42:19] That's a good one.
[00:42:20] Dang.
[00:42:21] I'll join the cane revolution with you, John.
[00:42:24] Yeah, yeah.
[00:42:25] For all of our listeners out there, that would be a cane revolution because they are too young.
[00:42:31] You know?
[00:42:31] Right.
[00:42:31] Just saying Matt's a little bit older than all of us.
[00:42:34] It was a game that was back in the day.
[00:42:35] It's all right.
[00:42:36] It's all right.
[00:42:37] Where you at, Jace?
[00:42:38] What was yours?
[00:42:39] Well, my first Christmas game that I remember.
[00:42:43] That I remember is Donkey Kong Country.
[00:42:45] Go ahead, boy.
[00:42:46] Oh, it's Super Nintendo.
[00:42:48] Donkey Kong Country.
[00:42:49] Super Nintendo.
[00:42:50] Sweet.
[00:42:51] Oh, like I was on that for hours, dude.
[00:42:54] For hours.
[00:42:55] I do remember first playing that.
[00:42:57] Yeah, I was on that for hours.
[00:42:58] I mean, it just...
[00:42:58] That was a good game.
[00:42:59] The best though, like...
[00:43:00] Donkey Kong Country 2 has one of the greatest soundtracks of all time.
[00:43:03] Exactly.
[00:43:04] For Super Nintendo, even still.
[00:43:06] To this day.
[00:43:08] Still good.
[00:43:09] Still holds.
[00:43:10] Yeah, you're right.
[00:43:10] All the levels.
[00:43:12] But it just depends.
[00:43:14] If I'm playing games with family during Christmas time, definitely.
[00:43:20] Depends on who it is.
[00:43:22] Like I've been telling the chat.
[00:43:24] Family.
[00:43:24] I always play Telestrations.
[00:43:26] Because it's a very easy, very simple game.
[00:43:28] Everybody starts laughing.
[00:43:30] Because you're drawing and guessing people's terrible artwork.
[00:43:34] And it's amazing.
[00:43:34] It's fun.
[00:43:36] That's cool.
[00:43:37] Well, I mean, like...
[00:43:38] I feel bad for people after me.
[00:43:40] You can have to put terrible in it.
[00:43:41] Because you mad that you got the wrong movie title.
[00:43:43] That's me.
[00:43:43] I'm the one where I can't draw for beans.
[00:43:48] But, you know...
[00:43:49] But if I'm with friends...
[00:43:50] Oh, dude.
[00:43:51] We all love playing Sushi Go.
[00:43:53] Card game.
[00:43:54] Sushi Go's good?
[00:43:55] Okay.
[00:43:55] It's solid.
[00:43:56] And then, like, everybody just talking smack on each other.
[00:43:59] Wait.
[00:44:00] Hold on.
[00:44:00] When did the old Jason decide to show up?
[00:44:02] The one that actually talks about card games and dice games.
[00:44:05] Oh, oh, you know.
[00:44:06] Oh, you know.
[00:44:07] Maybe it's the new couch.
[00:44:08] Maybe it's the retro new couch that's coming out.
[00:44:12] Matt, maybe it's the Jason waving the flag, realizing that Die Hard is a damn Christmas movie.
[00:44:19] No.
[00:44:19] I will never say that in my life.
[00:44:21] I will never say it.
[00:44:23] You got gentle and nice to us.
[00:44:25] Never.
[00:44:26] I guess that's the hostage situation.
[00:44:29] Like, Jason makes that phone call.
[00:44:31] It's like, what would you say to know that you're in trouble?
[00:44:35] Jason's going to be like Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
[00:44:37] Yeah.
[00:44:41] Okay.
[00:44:41] Wait a minute.
[00:44:42] Wait a minute.
[00:44:43] Ooh.
[00:44:44] Something's wrong here.
[00:44:45] Something's wrong.
[00:44:46] Right.
[00:44:47] We got to get in the car.
[00:44:48] Go now.
[00:44:49] Robenix.
[00:44:50] Would never admit that.
[00:44:51] Get on a plane.
[00:44:52] He's that crazy.
[00:44:54] Robenix has dropped a good one in chat.
[00:44:57] They said, I think the one I really remember was SSX for the PS2.
[00:45:02] Oh, good.
[00:45:03] Another deep cut for PS2.
[00:45:05] Hey, it's tricky to do.
[00:45:06] Run, run, run, run, run, run.
[00:45:09] Wait, wait, wait.
[00:45:10] Big wheel.
[00:45:11] Big wheel.
[00:45:11] Also, we got a really cool soundtrack.
[00:45:15] A release date on it, but things I remember playing during Christmas.
[00:45:20] Metal Gear Solid.
[00:45:21] Yeah.
[00:45:22] Oh, good one.
[00:45:23] That's a good one.
[00:45:25] Yes.
[00:45:25] Really good.
[00:45:25] Love it.
[00:45:26] You know, in the snowboard, crawling under stuff.
[00:45:30] It was just incredible.
[00:45:32] And Goldeneye.
[00:45:34] Oh, yeah.
[00:45:35] Oh, good one.
[00:45:37] Oh, good one.
[00:45:39] Did you?
[00:45:39] I got to ask this.
[00:45:40] Will, did you ever figure out how to do the actual, like, throw remote mines like they're grenades trick?
[00:45:49] No.
[00:45:50] There is a trick you can do where you hot swap out of a remote mine and you can set it off immediately.
[00:45:57] Like, it's a grenade or like an actual, like, like a sticky bomb.
[00:46:01] You just throw it.
[00:46:02] You just throw it and you set it off immediately.
[00:46:04] Oh, wait, wait.
[00:46:04] Oh, wait, wait.
[00:46:04] Yes.
[00:46:05] Yes.
[00:46:05] Yes.
[00:46:06] I had a guy that we used to play against and he would do it to us.
[00:46:10] We play those death matches and just throw up all the hell.
[00:46:13] My favorite, though, was in the base level where, you know, where the spawn point was in the bathroom?
[00:46:21] Yes.
[00:46:21] I used to go in there and throw a freaking proxy up there.
[00:46:25] If people were walking in, boom.
[00:46:27] So they're like, they spawn and there's a proxy right there in front of them.
[00:46:31] It was like, well, I'm not going anywhere.
[00:46:35] But I think that was one of the first games.
[00:46:38] I think I actually tried to get all the secrets, like when I, you can unlock the golden gun and like, I think a grenade launcher and like some of the stuff for the online.
[00:46:47] I think that's like, was the first game that unlocked like, oh man, you know what?
[00:46:53] Like, I'm going to, I want to unlock these, these other perks.
[00:46:57] I do really wish that the switch got the good version of the re-release for golden eye, like the Xbox did.
[00:47:04] Because the Xbox, you could actually play it like a modern day FPS.
[00:47:09] Yeah, no, the switch just got the standard.
[00:47:12] It was deported from 64.
[00:47:14] It's still the 64 controls.
[00:47:15] Yeah.
[00:47:16] Yeah, it's rough.
[00:47:18] My stuff was like going back to Contra with the codes.
[00:47:21] Up, up, down, down, left, right, left.
[00:47:23] Yeah, baby.
[00:47:24] That was what I used to.
[00:47:25] Aladdin too.
[00:47:27] Up, down, left, right, up, down, left, right.
[00:47:29] Yeah.
[00:47:30] AABB, AABB.
[00:47:31] Yeah, no.
[00:47:32] There's a game that came out on Xbox 360 called Hardcore Uprising.
[00:47:38] Which is like, it's a, it's a prequel to Contra.
[00:47:41] Yeah.
[00:47:41] And if you, if you enter in the up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select,
[00:47:45] start at the menu, the very first level opens up with the.
[00:47:51] Oh, it takes me back, dude.
[00:47:54] But it's like a heavy metal version of it.
[00:47:56] It's so cool.
[00:47:58] It's, it's, it's by the same people who made, um, Guilty Gear.
[00:48:02] So the music sounds like the Guilty Gear.
[00:48:03] Oh my gosh.
[00:48:04] It's awesome.
[00:48:05] I gotta figure it out.
[00:48:06] Will, you, you were going to ask a question about, you were going to ask a question about
[00:48:10] the characters?
[00:48:12] No, when you, you, you unlock certain characters from Gold 9.
[00:48:17] Yeah.
[00:48:18] Everything.
[00:48:18] I was just adding to that and I was going to say, you know, my favorite weapons was the
[00:48:22] double P90s.
[00:48:23] Oh.
[00:48:24] Oh yeah.
[00:48:25] And who was everybody's favorite character to play?
[00:48:31] I, I usually ran just as Bond.
[00:48:35] Yeah.
[00:48:35] Same.
[00:48:36] Okay.
[00:48:36] Either Bond or Trevelyan.
[00:48:38] Yeah.
[00:48:38] Trevelyan.
[00:48:39] I never did Pavilion.
[00:48:40] Always did Bond.
[00:48:42] Now I need to go back and watch Gold 9.
[00:48:45] I finally beat Gold 9 for the first time this year.
[00:48:48] Hmm.
[00:48:49] Yeah.
[00:48:50] Nice.
[00:48:51] Say what?
[00:48:52] So real quick, I want to get this question asked, um, before we start winding down for
[00:48:58] the night and I can take my kids, go see Christmas lights, but Jerry Cap asked this in chat.
[00:49:04] And I know we've asked this before individually, but it's been quite a while since everyone's
[00:49:09] had their individual episodes and stuff like that.
[00:49:10] Oh, cool.
[00:49:11] Jerry Cap asked if you had a dream character to voice, who would it be and why?
[00:49:20] That's a question that changes a lot for me.
[00:49:24] Like there are times I'm just like, I want to do this.
[00:49:25] And then times when I want to do that right now, I think my dream character is probably
[00:49:29] shadow the hedgehog.
[00:49:31] Ooh.
[00:49:32] Yeah.
[00:49:33] Yeah.
[00:49:33] That's a good one.
[00:49:34] That's bold.
[00:49:35] That is real bold.
[00:49:36] Very cool.
[00:49:36] That we know who shadow is now.
[00:49:38] I'd like, I'd like to hear your Kirk Thornton.
[00:49:41] I know who shadow is right now.
[00:49:42] It's Kirk Thornton.
[00:49:43] Well, and if you go in the movie realm, yeah, it's talking about the movies.
[00:49:46] I'm talking about the game.
[00:49:50] Regulated to games.
[00:49:51] That's what we're saying.
[00:49:52] Yeah.
[00:49:57] I'm not going to lie for me.
[00:49:59] It would have to be something new.
[00:50:01] I wouldn't want to do anything that someone else has already done so well.
[00:50:05] That's usually my answer.
[00:50:06] But right now I really want to do shadow.
[00:50:09] I just met Neil Nuvon.
[00:50:11] Man, that dude is just.
[00:50:12] Oh, yes.
[00:50:13] It's like me.
[00:50:14] For me, it was like meeting David Bowie.
[00:50:16] I'm like, this dude.
[00:50:17] He's just so down to earth.
[00:50:19] So real.
[00:50:20] So informative.
[00:50:23] I want to get a game something like that.
[00:50:25] You know what I mean?
[00:50:26] Let me be a lead in a game that's of that caliber.
[00:50:29] You know?
[00:50:30] And then I got to meet Maggie.
[00:50:31] And I'm like, I want to lead that in a game that is so good that they take that character and put it in a new game.
[00:50:40] Like what Ben Starr is about to do.
[00:50:42] You know, going from 16 to now he's about to be in a fighting game.
[00:50:47] That's what I'm talking about.
[00:50:48] So that the fans can not only enjoy the character, but I can go to more conventions and meet those fans.
[00:50:53] That's me.
[00:50:56] Well.
[00:51:04] One of my favorite RPGs is Shining Force.
[00:51:08] Good game.
[00:51:09] My man.
[00:51:10] My man.
[00:51:11] Nice.
[00:51:12] But he don't believe what you believe in Christmas, baby.
[00:51:15] Hey, it's okay.
[00:51:16] We're talking video games.
[00:51:17] We're talking video games, John.
[00:51:19] I actually, Matt, do you have an answer on what you would like to do?
[00:51:24] If I'm going to voice act?
[00:51:26] Yeah.
[00:51:28] Jason, think about one too.
[00:51:30] Because I actually have an answer too.
[00:51:32] Will didn't finish saying what?
[00:51:34] I'm sorry.
[00:51:35] I'm sorry.
[00:51:36] Yeah, Will.
[00:51:36] It is, Jerry.
[00:51:37] Sorry.
[00:51:38] Lost their characters.
[00:51:40] There's a part of me that either the lead character or whatever you're going to name him.
[00:51:46] Mm-hmm.
[00:51:47] Or Dark Dragon because he never had a voice for it.
[00:51:52] Oh.
[00:51:53] Yeah.
[00:51:53] Dark Dragon would have been crazy.
[00:51:55] Yeah.
[00:51:55] You can kind of play around with that.
[00:51:57] Dude, now I need to go fire up Shining Force on the Genesis emulator on the Switch.
[00:52:01] As you should.
[00:52:01] I like that.
[00:52:02] It's a great game.
[00:52:03] Such a great game.
[00:52:04] It still holds up after all these years.
[00:52:06] And it's a Genesis time.
[00:52:07] Good call, Will.
[00:52:07] That's a good one.
[00:52:08] Deep Cup there too.
[00:52:13] I don't know.
[00:52:14] You know what?
[00:52:15] If I were to get into voice acting, I would either want to play a pilot in the next Ace Combat game.
[00:52:24] Sweet.
[00:52:25] It's a fun gig.
[00:52:27] Given I loved Top Gun is my all-time favorite movie.
[00:52:30] That's so you.
[00:52:31] That's so you.
[00:52:32] I love it.
[00:52:33] Or B, I'd want to be Rogue Leader in a new Rogue Squadron game.
[00:52:42] Oh, sweet.
[00:52:43] That's cool.
[00:52:44] That's a cool one.
[00:52:45] And the only reason I'm thinking about it is because right here off camera, I have my new bookshelf and stuff.
[00:52:51] And here it is.
[00:52:52] I've got the Disney Infinity figure of Poe Dameron surrounded by his X-Wing and the standard Blue Squadron X-Wing from the new trilogy.
[00:53:04] And right the shelf above them is the Lego, not the UCS, but just the basic Lego X-Wing right above them.
[00:53:14] So it goes back to me loving X-Wing.
[00:53:17] Jay Bone, what about you?
[00:53:20] Damn, that's a hard one, man.
[00:53:25] I know Jerry's answer.
[00:53:28] Actually, it would surprise you.
[00:53:30] Yeah, go ahead.
[00:53:31] Go first, Jerry, because I need just a little bit more time.
[00:53:33] I know everyone would think like God of War.
[00:53:36] Jay would be find the Lent.
[00:53:37] He'd be the voice of find the Lent.
[00:53:40] I know everybody probably thinks that God of War, but I was actually thinking I would actually want to attempt death from Darksiders 2.
[00:53:49] Yeah, I wouldn't have thought that, but that's all.
[00:53:51] I was going to say the lead character in the next Red Dead Redemption.
[00:53:57] Or that, yeah.
[00:53:59] You're right.
[00:54:01] Oh, yeah.
[00:54:02] I can get a little raspy there.
[00:54:04] Yeah, because you got excited when you found out I was playing it back in the day.
[00:54:08] Oh, my God.
[00:54:09] I've never seen you bounce like that.
[00:54:11] Oh, man.
[00:54:12] Are you still going back to it every once in a while?
[00:54:15] Right now, I'm stuck between a few, man.
[00:54:17] Okay.
[00:54:18] Okay.
[00:54:19] It's okay.
[00:54:19] I'm really stuck.
[00:54:20] Don't worry, baby.
[00:54:21] I still haven't finished Persona 5, bro.
[00:54:25] What happened?
[00:54:25] I need to play 5.
[00:54:26] I need to play 5.
[00:54:27] I'm still playing Persona 5.
[00:54:29] Oh, okay.
[00:54:30] I should have never picked up Wukong.
[00:54:32] I should have never picked that thing up.
[00:54:35] I should have never picked up the new Prince of Persia.
[00:54:38] I'm like, dang, I should just finish one at a time.
[00:54:41] Yeah.
[00:54:42] It's tough.
[00:54:42] But that's the gamer's life, baby.
[00:54:44] The back log.
[00:54:45] That's the gamer's life.
[00:54:45] And then Black Friday is around, and I pick up four more games, and you're just like, oh, man.
[00:54:50] Well, out of all of those, Persona's the biggest freaking time sink.
[00:54:53] Yeah.
[00:54:54] Yeah.
[00:54:56] I streamed P3 when it came out earlier this year, and that was like an 80-hour stream.
[00:55:01] And that was apparently doing its, like, that was apparently marathoning through it.
[00:55:05] Yeah, literally.
[00:55:06] That's a quick run.
[00:55:08] Yeah.
[00:55:08] I'm missing days.
[00:55:09] I'm like.
[00:55:12] Dang, if I had to pick one.
[00:55:13] I'll give Jason a minute to think about it.
[00:55:16] He can do it with his closing.
[00:55:17] Because I do want to, because we are getting to the bottom of the hour.
[00:55:21] I'm going to be dead.
[00:55:23] But, you know, I want to thank everybody who crashed game night from Austin's channel that hung out through the show.
[00:55:30] You know, a lot of you guys, this is first time crashing game night.
[00:55:33] Thank you for sticking around.
[00:55:34] Give us a chance.
[00:55:35] You know, these are the types of shenanigans we have when we have guests on the show, especially when we get John and Austin together on the show at the same time.
[00:55:44] Thank you for tuning in.
[00:55:47] Yeah.
[00:55:47] We're going to be together in Glasgow.
[00:55:48] Yes, we are.
[00:55:49] Yeah.
[00:55:50] Maybe we'll send pictures.
[00:55:51] Actually, we ain't sending no pictures.
[00:55:52] We're getting so much trouble lost.
[00:55:57] But, you know, for those of you that it's your first time, you know, drop us a follow if you haven't already.
[00:56:01] You know, you can head over to crashinggamenight.com.
[00:56:03] And on there we have a contributors and guest page.
[00:56:07] You can go in, click on these fine gentlemen's profiles on there and go and actually listen to all their back episodes, see all the back videos.
[00:56:15] We've got everything going back to, if I remember correctly, episode 60 now roughly is on the YouTube channel, give or take.
[00:56:24] Wow.
[00:56:25] Wow.
[00:56:25] So, you know, you can follow us on over on the YouTube, which has everything on there.
[00:56:30] But, you know, for me, I know 2024 has not been great for a lot of people.
[00:56:36] Here's hoping that 2025 gets off to a great start for everybody.
[00:56:40] Hopefully, for all of you guys that are on the video game acting side, that they get the strike done and over with in the beginning of 2025, hopefully.
[00:56:49] But with everything going on in the world, guys, just please be excellent to each other.
[00:56:55] That's right.
[00:56:55] All you nerds out there, please.
[00:56:57] I just want to say, Will, Austin, John, it's always great having family on the show.
[00:57:03] I miss you guys.
[00:57:04] Thank you so much for joining.
[00:57:06] It's always a treat to be able to join the Christmas episode because in the past I've been very busy and haven't been able for a few years.
[00:57:14] So this is always a treat.
[00:57:17] I want to send out that same message to everyone who rated.
[00:57:23] Thank you all for joining.
[00:57:24] And we just want to send out the same message we always do.
[00:57:29] No matter what, let's just try and do and be a little better.
[00:57:35] Let's just try and lend a helping hand here and there.
[00:57:38] If we see an opportunity, take it and try and help.
[00:57:42] It's still crazy out there, even though it's the holidays.
[00:57:46] Anyways, let's continue trying to spread that cheer and spread that same attitude and vibe to help each other out.
[00:57:55] And to J-Rock.
[00:57:58] J-Bone.
[00:57:59] To you, baby.
[00:58:01] J-Rock.
[00:58:01] I thought about it.
[00:58:02] You know, it would have to be, honestly, not the main character from the original Seeker of Mana.
[00:58:12] Ooh.
[00:58:12] Ooh.
[00:58:14] But the sprite.
[00:58:14] Another good deep cut.
[00:58:16] If you know the sprite that does the magic casting, I think I would be him.
[00:58:22] It would be fun to play.
[00:58:24] It would seem like a very goofy little, you can add a little spin to that.
[00:58:31] That or, honestly, like any Atlas.
[00:58:34] Atlas, like, you can listen to my voice if I need to, like, go a little higher.
[00:58:39] Oh, my God.
[00:58:40] All right.
[00:58:41] Hey, Atlas, I'm here.
[00:58:42] Just give me a job since Squaring and Expo.
[00:58:45] Atlas.
[00:58:45] I'm ready for a job anytime, Atlas.
[00:58:47] Give her.
[00:58:48] Squaring and Expo.
[00:58:49] I'm trying to turn out to you, too.
[00:58:50] You know, it was all, guys.
[00:58:52] Anyways.
[00:58:53] Anyways, guys, you know, like, closing it out.
[00:58:56] Yes.
[00:58:56] Hey, Will, Austin, John, happy early Christmas.
[00:59:01] Yeah.
[00:59:02] Merry Christmas.
[00:59:02] Happy holidays, y'all.
[00:59:04] Thank you so much.

[00:59:08] And we love having you guys every year at this time.
[00:59:12] Just, you know, getting the hopes up, the joys up, the laughter up.
[00:59:17] Because, you know, sometimes it's hard for people at this time of year.
[00:59:22] Sometimes it's, you know, it's something that we can look forward to.
[00:59:26] And I'm so happy that we've been able to do this multiple years in a row.
[00:59:31] Six years now.

[00:59:56] You guys are always welcome to throw in your two cents as well, you know.
[01:00:00] Like, I don't know about you guys, but, you know, I'm still digging my couch.
[01:00:06] So, you know, calm down, people.
[01:00:08] Did you say digging through your couch?
[01:00:10] No.
[01:00:13] I still like my couch, you know.
[01:00:15] It'll grow on you guys.
[01:00:17] It'll grow on you guys.
[01:00:18] Don't worry.
[01:00:20] Don't worry.
