It is definitely more important!

Colin Moriarty

Possibly. They may also be getting subsidized loans, as happens in Canada.

The Donald frame rate bit was way funnier than it should’ve been. 😄 Glad I’m not the only one who gets annoyed whenever people being up Jade Raymond. Sure, give her credit for her work on AC 1 but she hasn’t done much since. “Saved by the bell is way more important than futurama.” I’d probably agree with you there Colin. 😅 Chris mentions the BioShock tattoo and it’s interesting because my friend has that one too. Seems to be a popular one. I don’t know if Booker actually has it but Jack from the original does.

The Embracer situation is interesting. What's more interesting is that their situation is not unique. There are a lot of listed Swedish companies buying up loads of game companies with absolute fuck you money right now. MTG and Stillfront, are the other big ones. As to why this is happening, it's probably because Sweden is incredibly hands off when it comes to interfering with the markets. These companies basically have free reign to issue as many shares as they want, take in as much debt as they want and buy up whoever they want to expand at a ridiculous rate. I'm sure there's a limit at some point but it's not in sight yet. Quick dirty expansion just seems to be the name of the game. It seems like a bubble but whether it's good or bad is way above my pay grade.

Jewelbox

Glass is just better.

Colin Moriarty

???

Colin Moriarty

God bless those fries.

Colin Moriarty

That's up to him!

Colin Moriarty

More Rush cameos please 🐶

Hodge

To the fellow Patron with the fry guy story. I do this for Chick-fil-A fries. You can’t slam those waffles in that little container.

Jonathon H

This episode never showed up in the podcast feed for Apple. 🤷‍♂️?

Sean Ellsworth

I stopped drinking Snapple when they betrayed the great glass bottle. Snapple apple was true greatness, and it is lost to me now. The plastic bottle just isn't the same. Better to have loved and lost than to...no fuck that, gimme my glass bottle back haha

Lou & Rei Loper

Haha it makes sense, it was just something I’d never considered.

Cannonball_Jones

Why is that so weird?! I think that's a reasonable assumption. =\

Colin Moriarty

I'm sure they'll do it. Inevitably.

Colin Moriarty

A person above already impressed me with his math. You are late.

Colin Moriarty

Maybe. =)

Colin Moriarty

Gamers cannot rest.

Colin Moriarty

<3

Colin Moriarty

I just did the math, and would you believe it, you're right.

Colin Moriarty

No.

Colin Moriarty

Oh dear.

Colin Moriarty

Yes, I am right!

Colin Moriarty

=(

Colin Moriarty

Yeah. I don't really remember the ins-and-outs of her character, and if the camera angle was supposed to be meta.

Colin Moriarty

=\

Colin Moriarty

I'll have to look into this. It's like doing the fucking Konami code.

Colin Moriarty

To each his own!

Colin Moriarty

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the show.

Colin Moriarty

They definitely aren't.

Colin Moriarty

Thanks!

Colin Moriarty

Mexican Coke is horrible.

Colin Moriarty

That's awesome luck!

Colin Moriarty

=\

Colin Moriarty

4000p got a good hearty IRL lol outta me Btw shout out to Skuld in Habroxia 2

Horizon Zero Dawn is STILL not patched for PS5. With the sequel coming later this year, this game really needs a patch to run at 60fps. Anyone else agree?

Tony Rivera

2160p is 4k (3840x2160). dustin was correct that tv marketing switched to the horizontal axis, presumably because it sounds like a bigger improvement and helps convey that is it 4 times the resolution of 1080p (1920x1080, aka 2K). In the case of how God of War runs, I believe the confusion stems from the fact that it retains both the fidelity and performance modes of the ps4 pro version, just that the fidelity option is now 4k/60, rendering the performance mode obsolete. This is also the case for Ghost of Tsushima and Days Gone.

Chris

Sorry about your thumb Dustin. I have to take it easy on my weak joints working out, but maybe do more computer gaming to let your thumb rest, and then jump in once in a while on ps5/xbox. Or just do like Chris and be an Eldritch. Get some lessons from him. lol

Not Sure

Loved the Days Gone chat. Just got the platinum and totally agree that it's under rated. The patch Dustin talked about was a game changer. Can't wait for the sequel on Unreal 5.

Josh Daniel

(3840x2160)/(1920x1080)=4

Matthew O'Sullivan

I am holding in my hand a Kiwi Strawberry Snapple and it's in a glass bottle. I pulled it from my fridge. Is this a collector's item?

Tony Rivera

Perhaps MLB The Show is the Jackie Robinson of first party exclusives. Breaking the console barrier. ;)

I watched both Saved By The Bell & Futurama. I gotta say I believe Colin Was Right. Saved By The Bell was better. Also on the topic of Lady Dimitrescu, I am with the freaks fawning over her. Vampires were always my favorite monster & I'm 6'3" so it's rare I see a woman taller than me. I find it intriguing. I will gladly be her feeding pet as I fall directly into her bosom.

Robert F Friemering

I tried three times to get the PS5 and no luck! Walmart let me down lol.

Jennifer Luviano

Regarding Mass Effect remaster, it's actually a shame that EA felt the need to change the camera angles that focus on Mirandas (pretty fine) ass. She was a character that was meant to be sexualised, she was created to be genetically perfect, she tries to seduce the player for her own ends.

Liam Mcnulty

Couldn't agree more. It's really been bothering me. We pay for "ad free access" then we get videos with ads in them and are basically told "whatever, just fast forward through them." Yeah, it's very much a first world problem, but it's one that patrons shouldn't be dealing with. I know it's easier to only make one version, but, ya know, I can't always just do whatever is easiest at my job either. And remember, this whole video-podcast thing was a stretch goal for a long time. The videos were created FOR patrons.

Dave Carsley

Hey just checking in case I missed something, I know there are timestamps to skip the ads but are there any plans to have the video podcasts without the advertisings in the future ? Loving the video format but I really hate hearing that "Better Help" scam ad lol

It ruined it for me.

Steve hamilton

Dustin looks a little bit more menacing then i thought he would btw. just thought id let you guys know.

Simon Payne

Hey you keep bringing up you hate the trophy cards on PS5. Just making sure you know you can see the trophy menu by going to the main menu hover over your game press down, right twice and you'll see the trophy progress highlighted and then hit X.

Wonder how many nuts circled some drains when they revealed that RE8 lady to be 9’6” 🤣😂 Who knew there was such a thing as a gigantism fetish🤷🏽‍♂️

Hey boys, I've been following Colin since Beyond! ep1, though kinda funny and now Sacred Symbols. last weeks episode was the best I've heard, you've truly reached "next Level". Loving Chris and Dustin making the triumvirate of playstation nerd knowledge. Always surprised that Colin hasn't hanged up the towel years ago and retired just from the amount of content he's created alone! But I also feel like this is the very beginning of something great, in reference to this years changes to Last Stand Media. Can't wait to press start on Hybroxia 2 on vita and this week's podcast, truly comfort food for the new year!

Kyle Larson

I truly believe that Sony is throttling the supply of consoles on purpose. It was covered by outlets this week that they are taking a loss on the consoles right now. To make up for that loss, they need to sell millions of software titles to offset it. However, there was only one first party major title. I got a PS5 day one and have only bought Miles so far.

Michael J Sutherland

Thanks Dustin! I will never look at ketchup the same way again.

Michael J Sutherland

Ngl, really loving Dustin being on creating the 3 musketeers. Really great balance between everyone’s gaming tastes and perspectives.

I got the PS5 by winning a draw created by the biggest electronic chain in my country. There were a hundred consoles avaible for the whole country and I got lucky and won the draw, got to buy it for msrp.

SteelChevron

I get scarcity during a launch. But it’s pretty unbelievable. Yesterday I had the Walmart page up before their scheduled stock release. F5,F5,F5..... then immediate out of stock. Couldn’t even get it in my cart. Insane it’s till like this 3 months after launch. Harder to get than concert tickets.
