Ep. 328 - Final Fantasy XVI-2cular

@“gsk”#p156233 It might be their best game, too.

Coming back to this because WB's currently in the process of delisting several Adult Swim Games-published games, with the inference being that they might be shutting down that whole label, which would mean Soleil's Samurai Jack game might be imminently delisted (along with a large handful of mostly-indie games https://store.steampowered.com/search/?publisher=Adult%20Swim%20Games ), so y'all might want to get on it sometime soon. It's on consoles as well as Steam and it did get a physical LRG release for PS/Switch that I want to say extended to a Best Buy retail release, so a physical copy might not be too hard to procure, but I haven't actually checked.

I sort of liken the game to Platinum's Transformers Devastation inasmuch as it's a similar example of a JP 3D action dev being handed a western IP and a couch-cushion budget and somehow making it work, with the added perk that the story ending presented in the game is apparently much more satisfying than the one presented by the actual show (but dispute that if you like, Jack fans, because I've barely watched it).

May or may not have made an account so I could come here (days late) and say:

“well it's not the herb but the spice with the flavor to spare / the moog with the funk for your derriere”

is in my head a lot recently. I'm in the midst of a very intense Beastie Boys phase.

@“toku”#p156851 i, for one, am glad you did.

"phone is ringin. oh my god."

@“toku”#p156851 I go through a Beastie Boys phase about every 6-9 months.

I never really had a beastie boys phase, they were just always ambiently around, through friends or the radio or television - I always generally enjoyed them though. this could explain why I got the lyric I quoted almost totally wrong (but the sentiment was there)

@“hellomrkearns”#p156918 RIP Biz. Giving major “drunk foreigners at karaoke” energy here. Classic.

Late to this but I was surprised to hear Gene Park on this after being on a right wing games podcast last year (which endorses some awful people), and after being criticized for it joining them?

@“coffeentacos”#p158403 We talked about it - we decided he was going through an episode while undergoing chemotherapy and came out the other side. Understand if folks have concerns about that.

@“coffeentacos”#p158403 I'm curious about this - I tried to snoop but Gene Park tweets way too much that I scrolled for 20 minutes and only went back a week of his feed

@“exodus”#p158406 he's a host on one of their podcasts and is regularly boosting stuff they post (as recently as today!). I dunno about all that.

I really like IC but this feels at odds with what has been stated are values and what I'm down with.

@“coffeentacos”#p158518 ohhhhhhhhhhhhh well I sure didn't know he hosted one of their podcasts. Can you give me a little more info on that? Is it that colin moriarty is on the same network or something? Just trying to get my ducks in a row here

@“exodus”#p158539 CM has his own “network” and Park hosts their Nintendo podcast (which I could have confirmed without clicking their last youtube upload but I did and my recommends immediately turned to crap, stupid error on my part)

@“gsk”#p158540 oh no, sorry you clicked! I think you can remove something from your history, which might help??

But thanks - I'll see what we can do here.

@“exodus”#p158542 appreciate this. I was genuinely shocked to hear him.

re: removing stuff from history on YouTube, they've made it annoying to do on the website but it's fairly easy to do from the app, and it does appear to have an impact on recommendations.

@“coffeentacos”#p158597 FYI this has now been removed from both the podcast and the youtube video!
