00:00:00.461 --> 00:00:11.032
Welcome to another episode of Rough Talk VR, a weekly podcast with in-depth game reviews, exclusive developer interviews and the latest metaquest and virtual reality news.

00:00:11.032 --> 00:00:20.932
We join our hosts, the Father-Son team of D Scruffles and Stratus, today as they spend another episode breaking down and discussing the world of virtual reality.

00:00:21.481 --> 00:00:27.853
Hey, welcome to this episode of Rough Talk VR, joining you from a beautiful sunshiny day here in Massachusetts.

00:00:28.254 --> 00:00:29.176
In Western Mass?

00:00:29.176 --> 00:00:32.284
Yeah, not always we get such nice sun Part of the state without the accent.

00:00:32.707 --> 00:00:40.572
Yeah, you know it's an oncoming spring when we're excited about, you know, high 50s, but it's beautiful the sun's out, dude, it's gonna be 46, man.

00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:42.042
It's just fucking great.

00:00:42.042 --> 00:00:46.121
I'm opening windows but the the sun's out, it's a beautiful day and we're ready to podcast.

00:00:46.121 --> 00:00:50.591
We got reggie in between us, a whole paper full of notes to talk about.

00:00:50.591 --> 00:00:53.865
It was a good week of vr news, so let's go.

00:00:53.865 --> 00:00:55.469
I mean to kick things off.

00:00:55.469 --> 00:00:58.841
This week we saw into the radius to the studio.

00:00:58.841 --> 00:01:03.628
Behind it dropped an early access, upcoming kind of teaser trailer.

00:01:03.628 --> 00:01:06.272
That was all pc vr gameplay.

00:01:06.272 --> 00:01:08.555
But wow, it looked.

00:01:08.555 --> 00:01:10.263
It looked good.

00:01:10.263 --> 00:01:12.987
Into the radius one was a really good game.

00:01:12.987 --> 00:01:21.311
It's a solo extraction game you go in kind of like horror, spooky themed, but it could be a lot to handle by yourself.

00:01:21.811 --> 00:01:30.932
I mean, it's a dude, just like the way you said that because it's true, you know, the environment itself could be a little nerve-wracking, to say the least, and then it's.

00:01:30.932 --> 00:01:45.566
It's like ghost of tabor, with really good gun mechanics and just extraction based games can be kind of tough sometimes, but the sequel into the radius 2 is going to be co-op and that's it, I mean no pun intended.

00:01:45.725 --> 00:01:47.703
Yeah, no pun intended, I was going to say the same thing.

00:01:48.406 --> 00:01:50.436
And it looks smooth, it looks great.

00:01:50.436 --> 00:01:50.757
Again.

00:01:50.757 --> 00:01:52.704
Granted, the footage they showed was pc vr.

00:01:53.186 --> 00:01:58.745
It's going to be on the quest as well never seen footage of a company like putting out jank footage, though.

00:01:58.745 --> 00:02:00.007
No, you always go for.

00:02:00.007 --> 00:02:00.650
Check this out.

00:02:00.810 --> 00:02:08.831
You always go for the the best of the best in your footage, but I've been sold on the sequel since it was announced that it's going to have co-op, because I loved one.

00:02:08.831 --> 00:02:11.885
I went into it a bunch but just want to go up.

00:02:11.885 --> 00:02:13.050
I get it.

00:02:13.050 --> 00:02:28.605
I would have kept playing more, and I think a lot of players would have gone into it even more too, just because they could have somebody to show them around, teach them the game and show you the ropes no, there seems to be some nice buzz about this, yeah, so studios are wicked cool studio

00:02:28.686 --> 00:02:33.526
as well definitely got to get them on the podcast soon to to talk about it someday.

00:02:33.526 --> 00:02:42.306
Yeah, what I like is there's no doubt that they heard the reception from fans about wanting multiplayer and co-op, and there's no doubt in my mind.

00:02:42.306 --> 00:02:48.854
It's probably it can't be the easiest thing to incorporate in a game this in-depth.

00:02:48.854 --> 00:02:50.175
I mean, come on.

00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:52.287
Well, especially you make it for a single player.

00:02:52.287 --> 00:02:52.769
Yeah.

00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:59.528
So props to them for listening to the community and giving what the fans want, and I'm confident it's going to be one of the best releases this year.

00:02:59.528 --> 00:03:02.765
So if you're, that's a statement.

00:03:02.765 --> 00:03:06.145
If you're unsold on have you tried it yet, sir?

00:03:06.145 --> 00:03:07.664
No, unfortunately.

00:03:07.664 --> 00:03:08.788
The sequel, no.

00:03:08.788 --> 00:03:11.828
But if you're unsold on it yet, go watch the trailer.

00:03:12.329 --> 00:03:13.170
I guarantee your opinions.

00:03:13.461 --> 00:03:16.587
No, the trailer's damn good Guarantee your opinions will start to change.

00:03:16.587 --> 00:03:20.711
And then another cool one that I loved Beat Saber.

00:03:20.711 --> 00:03:25.770
They dropped a new song pack Hip-hop pack, hip hop pack.

00:03:25.770 --> 00:03:31.209
It's a hip hop pack it is, and we did get access to it through the MetaQuest creator program.

00:03:31.209 --> 00:03:32.712
Yes, we did Shout out to that.

00:03:32.712 --> 00:03:34.806
That was cool to be able to get some access to that.

00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:35.039
Which.

00:03:35.060 --> 00:03:37.669
I'm grateful for because I you love Beat Saber.

00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:39.467
Yeah, I get all the DLCs anyways.

00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:39.759
Yeah.

00:03:39.780 --> 00:03:42.566
So, either way, I was not going to not have it.

00:03:43.026 --> 00:03:47.943
If this was back in the days of pre being in the program, you would have just bought it.

00:03:47.943 --> 00:03:53.841
The second the news dropped yeah, that was one of your games you have zero hesitation on, especially if it's artists you like, which.

00:03:53.841 --> 00:03:58.729
This pack was pretty loaded, which I'll go over the songs that are included in a moment.

00:03:58.729 --> 00:04:08.925
But what was really cool about this one dude uncensored First song pack in Beat Saber that's uncensored first song pack.

00:04:08.925 --> 00:04:09.587
And beat saber that's uncensored.

00:04:09.608 --> 00:04:11.675
And then some of the song choices almost feel like they made a point with it as well.

00:04:11.675 --> 00:04:13.200
All right, so what song do they open with which?

00:04:13.381 --> 00:04:17.732
which tupac's well, because it goes, because it goes into its alphabetical order, you know well.

00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:24.266
So okay if you're playing in alphabetical order, so the first song right out of the gate well loaded artist as well.

00:04:24.286 --> 00:04:25.891
We have tupupac All Eyes on Me.

00:04:25.891 --> 00:04:28.107
We have Nicki Minaj Anaconda.

00:04:28.107 --> 00:04:31.088
We have Snoop Dogg, gin and Juice Great song.

00:04:31.088 --> 00:04:31.540
We have.

00:04:31.841 --> 00:04:35.024
I know Tupac and Sippin' on gin and juice.

00:04:35.024 --> 00:04:36.711
Tupac was Made back.

00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.591
Tupac was probably my favorite in high school, growing up for hip hop.

00:04:40.591 --> 00:04:42.322
For like classic hip hop artists.

00:04:42.322 --> 00:04:43.483
So for hip-hop, for like classic hip-hop artists.

00:04:43.483 --> 00:04:43.983
So to have him on.

00:04:43.983 --> 00:04:45.605
But then Snoop Dogg as well, come on.

00:04:45.985 --> 00:04:46.766
Snoop Dogg.

00:04:47.386 --> 00:04:51.810
We have Eminem Godzilla featuring Juice WRLD we got OutKast.

00:04:51.810 --> 00:04:56.514
Hey, Ya, we got Biggie Smalls with Hypnotize we got.

00:04:56.514 --> 00:04:58.576
Dr, Dre Nothing but a G-Thing.

00:04:58.576 --> 00:05:00.882
Ain't nothing but a G-Thing.

00:05:00.882 --> 00:05:09.225
We got Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, the Message, and we got Pop Smoke, the Woo Featuring 50 Cent and Roddy Ricch.

00:05:09.225 --> 00:05:19.824
So I mean, dude, loaded soundtrack, tupac, snoop Dogg, eminem, all uncensored, I know, all uncensored and All Eyes on Me.

00:05:19.824 --> 00:05:25.213
I mean they go pretty hard in that song with explicit language.

00:05:25.213 --> 00:05:27.166
Same with Nicki Minaj, anaconda.

00:05:27.379 --> 00:05:33.273
So because it's in alphabetical, order you buy this pack and you go down it in alphabetical order.

00:05:33.273 --> 00:05:36.220
Those are the first two you come across.

00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:43.233
Well, it's funny when Eminem can be put on a soundtrack and he'd be one of the top three tamest on there for language.

00:05:43.461 --> 00:05:50.471
It might be Out outcast and grandmaster, grandmaster flash yeah, yeah, those two are probably the most tame, but I get what you're saying.

00:05:50.572 --> 00:05:57.160
Mk mm is one of the the more tame flash is, though, the biggest og on that list dude, they did a great job.

00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:08.404
Just to put it out there with the sound for pound, and then I'd probably say um dr dre for sure you know they've done sound and snoop song packs before that are dedicated to one solo artist.

00:06:08.425 --> 00:06:17.435
That, you could argue, is is stacked like lady gaga pack and rolling stones but for, like, diverse artists, this might be their most stacked pack.

00:06:17.836 --> 00:06:29.766
Yeah well, yeah, because I mean, yes, they have the band packs and all that, but they all the other ones are usually a mix of like more the electronic electronic.

00:06:29.786 --> 00:06:31.149
These are big freaking names.

00:06:31.531 --> 00:06:59.488
Yeah, there's not a bad one in the and to have them uncensored and like I said'm like you know, I just I picture like the, the kid who's a little younger than he should be, you know, picking up mom or dad's headset and throwing beat saber on and being like what's this?

00:06:59.488 --> 00:07:04.451
And then you know, as a parent, you potentially are going to have some serious explaining to do.

00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:05.785
That's all I'm saying.

00:07:05.785 --> 00:07:06.622
The reality is.

00:07:06.783 --> 00:07:08.086
I love the freedom now.

00:07:08.086 --> 00:07:12.747
So I'm not upset about that, I'm just thinking of the ooh.

00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:13.663
For me.

00:07:13.663 --> 00:07:27.067
I don't listen to modern hip hop, so I didn't really listen to Nicki Minaj Anaconda before, but I guarantee you all little kids and teenagers going on this have heard that song before, because that's just modern popular music.

00:07:27.067 --> 00:07:27.627
Who knows?

00:07:27.627 --> 00:07:30.927
It's not Taylor Swift, but I love that it's uncensored.

00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:32.064
But they do have an option too.

00:07:32.064 --> 00:07:36.648
I'm not, hey, I'm not saying it shouldn't be, I'm just saying it was a little over the top.

00:07:36.819 --> 00:07:46.115
Well, and to your point about handing your headset over to your kid, they have a setting that you can turn on in the settings that hides all the uncensored tracks.

00:07:46.115 --> 00:07:49.829
So if you have, I mean, hides all the yeah, hides all the uncensored ones.

00:07:49.829 --> 00:07:52.689
So if you have the hip hop hack and you go, all right, I'm going to pass it off to my kid.

00:07:52.689 --> 00:07:54.165
He'll play three songs.

00:07:54.165 --> 00:08:01.146
You can go flip that setting on and then he won't even see those songs on the track list, or she, you know your child will.

00:08:01.146 --> 00:08:05.701
So that's a good option.

00:08:05.701 --> 00:08:06.908
That they included that as well, sure, but I love that.

00:08:06.908 --> 00:08:08.937
I think this is their first one that's uncensored, so I love that they're.

00:08:08.937 --> 00:08:09.880
They're pushing the boundary.

00:08:09.880 --> 00:08:11.024
Now they're going for it.

00:08:11.024 --> 00:08:11.425
Whatever.

00:08:11.425 --> 00:08:12.288
That's what people want.

00:08:12.288 --> 00:08:24.649
I saw the comments to it, like the reaction, and people are like wow, I'll buy it just on the fact that it's uncensored now, because I think they were a little hesitant on it before and then they really just went full 180.

00:08:24.668 --> 00:08:27.413
I you know, I don't know, I love it.

00:08:27.413 --> 00:08:28.473
I love the pack.

00:08:28.473 --> 00:08:35.110
I love the artists Shit, even the ones there's a few on there that I'm not, like, the biggest fan of.

00:08:35.961 --> 00:08:36.683
It sounds great in.

00:08:36.703 --> 00:08:37.628
Beat, saber and VR.

00:08:37.628 --> 00:08:42.409
Well they always do, but I appreciate the fact that they brought that artist in.

00:08:43.023 --> 00:08:44.580
That's actually something that you've said before.

00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:53.203
The fact that they they brought that artist in that's actually something that you've said before is like when beat saber does music it's going to be the best version of that song that you've heard fuck them skinny bitches.

00:08:54.907 --> 00:08:56.811
I'm learning new shit every day.

00:08:56.811 --> 00:08:59.576
I pictured uh, isn't that, what?

00:08:59.576 --> 00:09:01.225
Isn't that what they say in anaconda?

00:09:01.264 --> 00:09:07.825
yeah, and it was funny too, because neither of us listened to that as like our playlist of music when we're on our phone.

00:09:07.825 --> 00:09:15.091
So you played the track, the song pack before me and you were like dude, dude, we got to do this song, yeah you got to hear this you got to hear it.

00:09:15.110 --> 00:09:20.245
You got to hear it and you were so excited to have to play with me with it.

00:09:20.245 --> 00:09:21.506
Yeah, ah, dude.

00:09:21.506 --> 00:09:27.604
I was so excited when we got access to the the pack again for free through the, the meta quest creator program.

00:09:27.604 --> 00:09:29.707
That was freaking exciting.

00:09:29.707 --> 00:09:31.071
I was ready for this.

00:09:31.071 --> 00:09:37.623
I was like we were messaging each other all day like ready for multiplayer, ready for some tupac, ready for some gin and juice, ready to?

00:09:37.623 --> 00:09:39.727
Ah, dude, gin and juice is so fun to play.

00:09:39.889 --> 00:09:44.710
I'd be a saber I used to love that song, so it's like that was a great one.

00:09:45.211 --> 00:09:46.254
But for comical purposes.

00:09:46.254 --> 00:09:47.639
You were excited to show me Anaconda.

00:09:48.063 --> 00:09:50.847
Oh, dude, cause I just I pictured like that.

00:09:50.847 --> 00:09:56.120
I pictured like the little kid waking up in the morning, running downstairs to have cereal On his way to school.

00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.620
All the skinny bitches get out the car, hey mom fuck them skinny bitches.

00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:07.303
You know Mom who, like you know, like a yoga mom and shit, works it out sorry if we sound.

00:10:07.384 --> 00:10:09.072
I'm sorry if the language is vulgar too.

00:10:09.072 --> 00:10:10.600
We're just repeating what we heard on beat saber.

00:10:12.202 --> 00:10:14.087
Yeah, I everything's coming out of my mouth.

00:10:14.087 --> 00:10:15.009
I learned on beat saber.

00:10:15.009 --> 00:10:17.842
This is not my fault, no, it's just so.

00:10:17.842 --> 00:10:19.086
It's like that when.

00:10:19.086 --> 00:10:25.025
When I heard that in the song and I believe that's the exact quote from the song I'd have to really pull up the lyrics.

00:10:25.025 --> 00:10:25.727
Pull up the lyrics.

00:10:25.768 --> 00:10:28.633
At least that's what my brain heard hey, you know what I will say too.

00:10:28.633 --> 00:10:33.258
It's not a song I would ever listen to because it's not my type of music, but it's fun in beat saber.

00:10:33.258 --> 00:10:41.083
Listen to it now, even even like though it's not my type of music like playing it in multiplayer in beat saver, it was fun.

00:10:41.083 --> 00:10:43.469
I laughed it was I would play it again.

00:10:43.469 --> 00:10:44.631
I would play it again in multiplayer.

00:10:44.631 --> 00:10:46.001
I'm not gonna lie it has.

00:10:46.682 --> 00:10:51.952
It had one of the best feeling flows in the like, the sound, the song mapping.

00:10:52.033 --> 00:10:54.424
I like big butts, I like big.

00:10:54.966 --> 00:10:57.553
I like big butts and again it just.

00:10:57.553 --> 00:10:59.018
It had a great flow for it.

00:10:59.018 --> 00:11:02.365
It like, felt like to the nanosecond on time.

00:11:03.327 --> 00:11:05.633
so for real, hats off to Beat Saber.

00:11:06.061 --> 00:11:12.491
Yeah, they're making statements with this one, but their choice of artists is like perfect.

00:11:12.491 --> 00:11:16.889
It's like having a full keyboard in front of you.

00:11:16.889 --> 00:11:18.826
Yeah, I wonder what else they're Ridiculous.

00:11:18.886 --> 00:11:22.149
dude To score some of these licensing.

00:11:22.149 --> 00:11:24.067
Does it get Tupac Biggie?

00:11:25.143 --> 00:11:28.004
Tupac, I think would probably be one of the easier ones to get snoop dog.

00:11:28.004 --> 00:11:36.791
You're dealing with people who aren't him, but snoop, I mean snoop's the shit I know and snoop loves games, so it's like what are you gonna do?

00:11:36.791 --> 00:11:38.365
Be like hey, we want to put your music in there.

00:11:38.384 --> 00:11:42.001
And he's be like nah, man, my point being is that they're getting really good.

00:11:42.001 --> 00:11:44.850
Dr trey, that's a good one, last couple of years too.

00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:56.571
Grandmaster Flash, I appreciate the respect Because when I caught wind that they were doing the hip hop pack, I'm like oh, is this going to be like all modern day?

00:11:56.571 --> 00:12:09.730
Shit and it's like no, they went down the whole board, so it's like a walkthrough rap, but you could actually start with, like grandmaster flash and then it's like go to the next, next year's up, and next decade correct, follow it by the years.

00:12:09.889 --> 00:12:23.248
But to hear the innocence of grandmaster, flash and rap, which was, you know, parents were warning their, their other parent, friends like that is rap music and it's like anaconda you listen to what?

00:12:23.248 --> 00:12:30.725
Yeah, dude different in role model big time, you know, I don't know it's up.

00:12:30.725 --> 00:12:31.407
I had fun.

00:12:31.407 --> 00:12:32.649
Fun as hell, though.

00:12:32.668 --> 00:12:35.640
So well, you've mentioned, you know, beat saber.

00:12:35.640 --> 00:12:39.650
Their default, their original soundtrack, so to say, is mostly electronic music.

00:12:39.650 --> 00:12:41.966
Yeah, the game feels really fun with hip-hop.

00:12:41.966 --> 00:12:43.091
Yeah, because hip-hop has got good beats.

00:12:43.091 --> 00:12:43.813
Yeah, I, feel really fun with hip-hop.

00:12:43.813 --> 00:12:44.739
Yeah, because hip-hop's got good beats.

00:12:44.839 --> 00:12:48.027
Yeah, it feels really fun Good beats and good flows.

00:12:48.259 --> 00:12:49.625
I hope that's something that they do again.

00:12:49.625 --> 00:12:55.712
As somebody that loves rock music and petitions for rock song packs and Beat Saber, I cannot lie.

00:12:55.712 --> 00:12:58.168
These good hip-hop songs were good.

00:13:00.041 --> 00:13:08.244
You know, it would be like an awesome who doesn't you know, An awesome flex, and I'd feel so bad for the people that have to map it and Beat Saber would be jazz.

00:13:09.027 --> 00:13:09.268
Mm-hmm.

00:13:09.708 --> 00:13:10.431
That would be fun too.

00:13:10.431 --> 00:13:15.751
Or like Frank Zappa, where like no two instruments are going to be doing the same shit.

00:13:15.751 --> 00:13:17.125
It's like, wow, how do you?

00:13:17.125 --> 00:13:24.188
Yep, there's no easy mode, it's going to tell you to swing, but even though it's there, you're gonna swing anything you know no.

00:13:24.288 --> 00:13:31.869
So again, hats off to beat saber on what is arguably, in my, my opinion, maybe their best song pack yeah, I won't say that they crushed it.

00:13:31.869 --> 00:13:38.831
I'm happy to have in the quiver of good licensed music this was the, as somebody that doesn't go crazy in a beat saber this now give me ping floyd.

00:13:38.831 --> 00:13:45.272
This was the first one that when I heard about it I was like itching for I was real excited to go into.

00:13:45.312 --> 00:13:51.480
So yeah, I'm hats off to the stones too yeah, the rolling stones is is up there as well, I love the stones.

00:13:52.121 --> 00:13:58.863
It's just that I don't want to be critical because you can't appease, you can't have a perfect set list.

00:13:58.863 --> 00:14:00.145
I just remember I don't have.

00:14:00.145 --> 00:14:08.614
I have all the tracks in front of me, the stones one, but I remember there being a lot of songs that I wish were on it well that I weren't that's like they have such a big roster of songs.

00:14:08.754 --> 00:14:15.370
It's like taking the grateful dead and being like, okay, you're gonna get 12 songs from a catalog of you know a thousand can you imagine grateful dead ones?

00:14:15.451 --> 00:14:17.179
it's like, especially for slide performances?

00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:18.662
Yeah, that won't work.

00:14:18.662 --> 00:14:20.905
Fire, fire on the mouth.

00:14:20.905 --> 00:14:22.508
That won't work is when you 20 minutes.

00:14:22.648 --> 00:14:24.571
When you put it to paper, it's like 20 minutes.

00:14:24.912 --> 00:14:27.274
Holy shit they're really like When's this end?

00:14:27.274 --> 00:14:30.590
So when you put it to paper they're not really on time and shit.

00:14:30.590 --> 00:14:34.505
You know it's just like this Free-flowing, yeah, free-flowing shit.

00:14:34.505 --> 00:14:37.706
But it would be funny, just for length I'd put it up there with jazz.

00:14:37.706 --> 00:14:39.586
It would be a pain in the ass to program.

00:14:39.586 --> 00:14:45.889
But no, I want to see Iron Maiden.

00:14:45.889 --> 00:14:46.840
I'd love to see an Iron Maiden pack.

00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:52.741
Those are all long-ass songs and then I'd freaking love to see a Pink Floyd back At this point.

00:14:53.143 --> 00:14:55.630
I'm pretty confident in their ability to secure licensing.

00:14:55.630 --> 00:14:57.447
So let's see what comes in the future.

00:14:57.586 --> 00:14:57.847
Yeah.

00:14:59.022 --> 00:14:59.966
It's probably already in the works.

00:14:59.966 --> 00:15:01.846
I mean not probably.

00:15:01.846 --> 00:15:03.947
There's no doubt that they have more stuff in the works.

00:15:03.947 --> 00:15:05.083
That studio never stops.

00:15:05.083 --> 00:15:09.140
You know, it's crazy for them to do one last thing before we move on to the other ones.

00:15:09.140 --> 00:15:22.864
At least on my end, it was crazy for them to do this too, because it's a meta owned studio, yeah, which probably helps them with the licensing side, but I mean for them to go the whole uncensored route.

00:15:22.864 --> 00:15:23.605
That was, that was.

00:15:23.605 --> 00:15:25.211
I appreciate the freedom.

00:15:25.211 --> 00:15:28.773
Hey, this wasn't even on my list of notes and stuff.

00:15:28.773 --> 00:15:53.264
But just last night this is Sunday, so just last night, saturday Andrew Bosworth, the CTO of Meta, and Palmer Luckey had an interesting little back and forth Old school wars on the internet baby, on Twitter, where basically John Karamack, he made a tweet basically saying he wish he stuck up for Palmer Lucky more during his outing because it was probably wasn't the thing to say because it was very political based.

00:15:54.027 --> 00:15:58.250
And then Palmer Lucky basically said thank you to John.

00:15:58.250 --> 00:15:59.384
Well, let me fast forward.

00:15:59.384 --> 00:16:01.292
So so, john care, let me go backwards.

00:16:01.292 --> 00:16:03.988
John Karamack said you know, I wish I stuck up for Palmer Lucky more and in fact Amanda Watson even quoted the tweet.

00:16:03.988 --> 00:16:04.432
John Kermack, let me go backwards.

00:16:04.432 --> 00:16:05.193
John Kermack said you know, I wish I stuck up for Palmer Luckey more.

00:16:05.193 --> 00:16:08.856
And in fact Amanda Watson even quoted the tweet and chimed in.

00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:16.931
Amanda Watson, the creator of Air Link that now is doing geez, god only knows what she's got cooking up in the oven.

00:16:16.931 --> 00:16:19.427
She chimed in and was like yep, we all know.

00:16:19.427 --> 00:16:22.068
You know the people that were there know what went down.

00:16:22.068 --> 00:16:27.445
Doesn't matter what other people try to, you know, rewrite history to.

00:16:27.445 --> 00:16:29.551
You know, those of us that were there, we, we know what happened.

00:16:29.591 --> 00:16:35.691
And then andrew bosworth kind of started responding saying you know things are kind of different than your time.

00:16:35.691 --> 00:16:38.465
You know things aren't as like politically open.

00:16:38.465 --> 00:16:41.643
You know people aren't like pushing politics and the the work culture as much.

00:16:41.643 --> 00:16:54.472
And then palmer lucky and him started going back and forth, palmer Luckey basically saying like don't bullshit, you know Bosworth was like I don't really have any opinions on your outing.

00:16:54.472 --> 00:16:58.929
You know I wasn't really too involved in that and then Palmer Luckey was firing back like don't fucking bullshit.

00:16:58.929 --> 00:17:03.311
You know you were involved in it and it was just going back and forth for hours.

00:17:03.311 --> 00:17:11.063
They were basically like Palmer Lucmo.

00:17:11.063 --> 00:17:13.534
He was like I'm down to air it out in the open whenever you say when you know, so that's, that was an interesting one to see.

00:17:13.554 --> 00:17:17.128
Go down, wonder if they did that sitting across from each other at a restaurant well, it got people talking.

00:17:17.611 --> 00:17:19.880
The whole, my whole twitter feed was everybody like how's your?

00:17:19.961 --> 00:17:21.262
how's your lobster over there, man?

00:17:21.262 --> 00:17:22.224
It's good's good, Check out.

00:17:22.224 --> 00:17:23.346
Hey, fuck you brother.

00:17:23.707 --> 00:17:27.934
Don't think I wasn't following it all excited, everybody was, yeah, he went deep.

00:17:27.934 --> 00:17:31.269
I don't have the negative.

00:17:31.619 --> 00:17:34.508
When a tweet goes terribly wrong is how you can look at that.

00:17:34.528 --> 00:17:38.709
Yeah, I saw some people throwing a lot of shade at Andrew Bosworth.

00:17:38.709 --> 00:17:40.567
I don't really have negative feelings about him.

00:17:40.567 --> 00:17:41.261
I don't know the guy.

00:17:41.742 --> 00:17:50.529
At one bit you know he it's got a tough job position I'm sure love to hear this story, and I know you want palmer.

00:17:50.590 --> 00:17:56.617
Well, that was gonna be my next thing you know I don't have negative things to say about palmer, about, uh, andrew bosworth.

00:17:56.617 --> 00:18:01.612
Some people have been liking to meme on him since this interaction because he got dunked on a bit by palmer lucky.

00:18:01.612 --> 00:18:08.307
But palmer lucky lucky's really good at words, he's good at arguing, you know, he's good at defense.

00:18:08.307 --> 00:18:11.088
But I'm not going to meme on Bosworth.

00:18:11.088 --> 00:18:15.311
He's got a tough position and he is I don't know yeah exactly.

00:18:15.311 --> 00:18:25.433
But I will say I'm a big Palmer Luckey fan and one of my dream episodes has always been to have Palmer Luckey on to kind of say his side of the story yeah of you know.

00:18:25.773 --> 00:18:36.711
Let's take you back to being a teenager in a garage, take us through the creation of oculus all the way into you, get and pushed out for really just interesting political reasons.

00:18:36.711 --> 00:18:37.333
It was, it was quite.

00:18:37.333 --> 00:18:38.723
It's not something that's gonna age.

00:18:38.723 --> 00:18:45.018
Well, I can't tell his stories yeah, nor do I, nor do I want to, because I'm probably gonna make some inaccuracies.

00:18:45.057 --> 00:18:46.383
I don't need any beef with palmer.

00:18:46.423 --> 00:18:51.829
Lucky either well, there was a there was a lot of bad media reporting at the time that he holds grudges about.

00:18:51.829 --> 00:18:56.167
You'll see him on twitter sometimes be like nope, you false reported this, you false reported this.

00:18:56.167 --> 00:19:06.855
That was even something that he was going back and forth with bosworth, where bosworth saying he didn't have involvement and he's like no, screw that you're retweeting articles slandering me and palmer, lucky, doesn't forget.

00:19:06.855 --> 00:19:10.263
So I don't want to tell his story at all, because there's a lot I'm not.

00:19:10.463 --> 00:19:11.125
I wasn't there.

00:19:11.226 --> 00:19:22.785
I can't tell it, but I know there's interest in it like a lot of interest so so I'd love to have him on just to take us through jerry ellsworth style, like she did, though that you know two hour three hour podcast of just our whole story.

00:19:22.785 --> 00:19:23.906
I want to hear it from him.

00:19:23.906 --> 00:19:29.255
What went down from the creation all the way to, I guess, the exodus, so to say.

00:19:29.255 --> 00:19:30.865
But that's a dream episode.

00:19:31.287 --> 00:19:39.354
Yeah, no, I always wanted it, just because I'd like to hear the uninterrupted version of the story, not piecemealed and other people's.

00:19:39.354 --> 00:19:46.628
I mean you can figure it out yourself, just go look at, do a lot of reading and research, but what better way to actually hear it than from the man himself?

00:19:46.970 --> 00:20:04.574
the best possible way that interview could go would be I introduce, we start, and then you hear from me again in three hours you know, just let him don't say a word, let him go loose and I guess chime in if there's like some redirecting or some some some clarification or some clarification about something last.

00:20:04.594 --> 00:20:05.016
That's the last dude.

00:20:05.016 --> 00:20:06.019
I think you'd have to redirect.

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:06.722
I know.

00:20:07.104 --> 00:20:07.846
Not even redirection.

00:20:07.846 --> 00:20:10.809
More clarification, or you know.

00:20:10.809 --> 00:20:12.602
Think back to the Jerry Ellsworth episode.

00:20:12.602 --> 00:20:15.428
I think we said what 20 words between both of us.

00:20:15.819 --> 00:20:21.103
Maybe it was like doing a Terminator movie and being Schwarzenegger for the first time.

00:20:21.143 --> 00:20:25.740
You have like 16 words you say Most of our words were and how old were you at this point?

00:20:25.740 --> 00:20:27.604
Okay, eight, uh-huh, okay.

00:20:27.604 --> 00:20:28.586
How old are you now?

00:20:28.787 --> 00:20:32.232
14, okay, so her story is awesome.

00:20:32.232 --> 00:20:37.329
That's one of my favorite favorite hands-down interviews because I was so like tuned in.

00:20:37.329 --> 00:20:39.012
Oh yeah, I was like man.

00:20:39.012 --> 00:20:47.288
I just want to keep going, I want to hear more, even though we literally heard we heard her whole life and it's still going like stronger than ever.

00:20:47.288 --> 00:20:49.553
So it's like damn man, that was a good episode.

00:20:49.779 --> 00:20:56.121
So just to put wicked, inspirational, just to put that out into the universe, definitely a dream episode for their Palmer Cause.

00:20:56.181 --> 00:20:57.204
we know you're listening.

00:20:57.204 --> 00:20:59.201
No, you're watching on YouTube.

00:20:59.201 --> 00:21:04.011
Nope, that ain't happening, dude, you know what I'd really love to do?

00:21:04.453 --> 00:21:04.733
What's up?

00:21:05.944 --> 00:21:06.930
And I'd even be willing to.

00:21:06.930 --> 00:21:08.932
I'll sign whatever NDA I have to sign.

00:21:08.932 --> 00:21:14.410
Okay, Just spend one day from eyes open to eyes closed with someone like Pomeroy.

00:21:14.410 --> 00:21:18.913
I can't even imagine, Right, and I know my limits.

00:21:18.913 --> 00:21:34.432
I'm not saying like Elon Musk, right, Because we all know, dude, that motherfucker's going to get up at like four in the morning and you're going to work till like 2 in the morning and he's going to be doing 18 million different things, and I have this weird feeling that you know Palmer Lucky's not sleeping till 11.

00:21:35.905 --> 00:21:39.576
Dude the guy restarted the VR push.

00:21:39.576 --> 00:21:41.632
Modern day VR push as a teenager.

00:21:41.944 --> 00:21:43.872
What kind of stress level in your life.

00:21:44.073 --> 00:21:50.278
Man Gets outed by all of tech for really just stupid political stuff.

00:21:50.766 --> 00:21:52.412
I think it just made him stronger at the end.

00:21:52.625 --> 00:22:00.332
But again, I was going to save it for the interview and doesn't let that stop and build himself back up and has a hugely successful company.

00:22:00.332 --> 00:22:04.432
So I agree, I don't think that's somebody that stops.

00:22:04.885 --> 00:22:06.571
But how fun would that be, though Too much.

00:22:13.105 --> 00:22:15.795
So one or two more, then we'll take a quick ad break a game that you, you've been a love loving this one.

00:22:15.815 --> 00:22:16.175
Actually vr rider.

00:22:16.175 --> 00:22:17.681
I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right.

00:22:17.681 --> 00:22:18.403
It's vr id er.

00:22:18.403 --> 00:22:20.391
I'm guessing it's supposed to be vr rider.

00:22:20.391 --> 00:22:23.602
But it's available now on app lab for 20 bucks.

00:22:23.602 --> 00:22:41.885
But there's a full release, a full store release, coming to the official meta quest store in june of this year and it's a racing game, motorcycle, motorcycle game in vr, with officially licensed more motorcycles some pretty big names as well, on there too yeah, man, this is like.

00:22:43.268 --> 00:22:46.413
I'm so happy to see a motorcycle game come into the VR space.

00:22:46.413 --> 00:22:48.377
Well, they're doing it, right you?

00:22:48.438 --> 00:22:52.055
know, it's like they even make you put your arms out like a motorcycle.

00:22:53.286 --> 00:22:55.092
I thought of the after playing it for a while.

00:22:55.092 --> 00:23:01.529
I was like man, need one of those chairs that's got like the one peg I hope someone makes this.

00:23:01.529 --> 00:23:13.747
I really do, like it's a one peg chair centered in the bottom of where your butt goes, and then have like the artificial arch for the gas tank, because these are sport bikes, these are, you know, like true racing bikes.

00:23:13.747 --> 00:23:18.566
So it's got that massive tank and you can almost feel it hitting your chest when you're playing.

00:23:18.566 --> 00:23:21.212
It's so stupid and then you hold your arms out.

00:23:21.212 --> 00:23:29.932
So if it had a way to have your controllers locked in there like real motorcycle or even down at the angle, so you're just not free-holding your arms up for so long.

00:23:29.971 --> 00:23:30.934
Yeah, I mean you can do it.

00:23:30.934 --> 00:23:39.536
Some racing bikes have it at like that 45 down here, which I don't like as much as the traditional handlebar.

00:23:39.785 --> 00:23:42.053
But I can see how that could get tiring after a while.

00:23:42.354 --> 00:23:42.595
Yeah.

00:23:42.595 --> 00:23:48.148
If you don't have something supporting your arms up, well, and you're tense because you're fucking racing and you're immersed.

00:23:48.148 --> 00:23:50.912
Dude, it's such a good game, yeah.

00:23:50.912 --> 00:23:56.636
And then you lean into the corners and when you get close to the ground, you hear that you hear the wind change.

00:23:56.636 --> 00:24:01.040
So I'm like man these guys are doing fucking amazing with this.

00:24:01.040 --> 00:24:16.493
Right now it's single player but I hope that there's plans for multiplayer, because it's got to be I'll bet on it a racing game like this it's made for multiplayer.

00:24:16.513 --> 00:24:18.118
Ideally, if they could get like 12 to 15, yeah, do a full race.

00:24:18.118 --> 00:24:19.623
So yeah, hell, yeah, that's the great legends, that shit.

00:24:19.623 --> 00:24:20.125
Yeah, that's the thing.

00:24:20.125 --> 00:24:25.768
Bridge legend wasn't the best graphically by anything, but they had a good gameplay base and they had those features I those.

00:24:25.989 --> 00:24:28.332
I enjoyed it I forgave some of the graphics.

00:24:28.332 --> 00:24:32.818
I mean I didn't like score it high because of them, but no, I wasn't.

00:24:32.818 --> 00:24:39.063
I was just happy to see vr racing and this is and just like you know, car racing.

00:24:39.063 --> 00:24:47.393
There's going to be a learning curve to to driving these bikes, because you can't go whipping in the car, you just can't, so you have to learn to.

00:24:47.393 --> 00:24:52.853
You need to be learning to ride that motorcycle and lean hard into the corners.

00:24:52.973 --> 00:24:58.898
Yeah, so it's cool to see these games finally coming to VR as well, especially polished with officially licensed motorcycles.

00:25:00.009 --> 00:25:02.131
And brands, at least for standalone.

00:25:02.131 --> 00:25:03.450
I don't have any other motors.

00:25:03.450 --> 00:25:07.031
I want to see motocross come in though, where you can be taking the big-ass jumps.

00:25:08.286 --> 00:25:10.874
Right now the store page says version 0.6.

00:25:10.874 --> 00:25:18.952
So let's see by June on the official MetaQuest store, the full store, but right now on App Lab for $20, I'd say this one's a good investment.

00:25:18.952 --> 00:25:20.297
I would jump on it.

00:25:20.297 --> 00:25:29.859
I don't know what the difference is going to be of the current version versus the official store release If they can only get better which I'll assume is going to be the case.

00:25:34.605 --> 00:25:39.442
I'll actually assume multiplayer will come out of somebody's mouth from the studio at some point, because there's no way, for sustainability reasons.

00:25:39.442 --> 00:25:43.737
If this is multiplayer, it's years of content Correct.

00:25:43.737 --> 00:25:47.633
So that would be my bet, but I'd I'd pounce on that.

00:25:47.633 --> 00:25:50.890
Especially if you know, are they going up in price or are they going?

00:25:50.910 --> 00:25:50.950
to.

00:25:50.950 --> 00:25:54.613
I don't know, I don't know we we got to get them on for an interview or something to find out.

00:25:54.692 --> 00:25:54.854
I got.

00:25:54.854 --> 00:25:56.089
I got a bunch of questions.

00:26:00.648 --> 00:26:01.611
There's a market for it.

00:26:01.611 --> 00:26:02.672
There's a big market.

00:26:02.791 --> 00:26:03.752
We had early access.

00:26:03.752 --> 00:26:08.259
Yeah, full disclosure, if I remember correctly, and that was a no-brainer.

00:26:08.338 --> 00:26:09.019
Yeah, right away.

00:26:09.221 --> 00:26:09.320
Yep.

00:26:13.088 --> 00:26:15.155
Everything about this game says to me it's going to be a hit.

00:26:15.175 --> 00:26:16.781
It just has that feel to it.

00:26:16.781 --> 00:26:17.664
It will with racing fans, mm-hmm.

00:26:17.805 --> 00:26:18.326
There's a market for that.

00:26:18.326 --> 00:26:20.815
Just like if NASCAR came out with a true NASCAR game.

00:26:20.815 --> 00:26:25.592
Holy shit, people would lose their minds, especially if it was multiplayer.

00:26:25.592 --> 00:26:27.775
You know NASCAR racing with pit stops.

00:26:28.195 --> 00:26:30.058
Well, this one's got the writing on the wall.

00:26:30.058 --> 00:26:31.280
It's already getting the official elections.

00:26:31.280 --> 00:26:32.303
Your buddy's in the pit crew.

00:26:32.804 --> 00:26:33.585
Holy shit, dude.

00:26:33.585 --> 00:26:35.813
You could take that to such depth, we'll get there.

00:26:36.305 --> 00:26:37.451
But I think this one's going to be a hit.

00:26:37.865 --> 00:26:42.616
So another game too, that existed on PC VR before VR Skater.

00:26:42.616 --> 00:26:53.029
It's out now on the quest and pico, actually, to be fair, for 24.99.

00:26:53.029 --> 00:26:53.792
It's called vr skater.

00:26:53.792 --> 00:26:54.977
It's literally like a little hand skating game.

00:26:54.977 --> 00:26:55.618
You use your controllers.

00:26:55.618 --> 00:26:58.770
I haven't hopped in it yet, so I only can see videos.

00:26:58.770 --> 00:27:00.193
I'm always like how the hell does this work?

00:27:00.193 --> 00:27:09.758
Because I see videos of it and you see the two floating controllers and then you see the skateboard right down there and you use the controllers to do flips and tricks and skate.

00:27:09.798 --> 00:27:16.770
So interesting concept, it's cool is they even have you choose your skateboard style.

00:27:16.770 --> 00:27:20.382
So it's you doing traditional or are you doing goofy?

00:27:21.064 --> 00:27:22.105
you know what you can say about it.

00:27:22.105 --> 00:27:22.847
It's unique.

00:27:22.847 --> 00:27:24.872
There's not another game like this.

00:27:24.872 --> 00:27:26.355
No, in all of vr.

00:27:26.875 --> 00:27:32.492
So props we know the tony hawk franchise is is the bread and butter for correct skating games.

00:27:32.532 --> 00:27:37.856
So I'm sure they're looking it made me think like imagine a fingerboard game with hand tracking.

00:27:38.198 --> 00:27:45.849
You laughed at it you're like a lot of it you know you use like two fingers with hand tracking, and I was scared by looking at the preview that this was what this game was going to be.

00:27:45.849 --> 00:27:48.775
And then during the tutorial, when they're like this is how you move forward.

00:27:48.775 --> 00:27:54.375
I'm like okay, I can handle this.

00:27:54.785 --> 00:27:59.809
So I haven't played it yet, but just doing that little bit in the tutorial, I feel like there's some potential to it.

00:27:59.990 --> 00:28:00.131
Yeah.

00:28:00.151 --> 00:28:02.396
Did they do it good so far?

00:28:02.396 --> 00:28:04.628
Because I was skeptical when I saw the video, but I'm like.

00:28:04.628 --> 00:28:05.932
Everybody says that they love it.

00:28:05.932 --> 00:28:09.719
It so far Because I was skeptical when I saw the video, but I'm like everybody says that they love it.

00:28:09.719 --> 00:28:10.220
It looks good.

00:28:10.220 --> 00:28:11.301
I just got to get into it and play it.

00:28:13.984 --> 00:28:17.429
It looks like one of those games that once you get the feel of it, you can probably just do some crazy shit.

00:28:17.429 --> 00:28:18.369
Be cool if they have broken bones.

00:28:18.390 --> 00:28:22.775
Who knows, maybe they do, so let's see Props to that, though I always wanted that on standalone VR.

00:28:22.775 --> 00:28:25.298
Here it is, on both the Quest and Pico $24.99.

00:28:25.337 --> 00:28:26.459
I think a skiing game would be nice.

00:28:26.778 --> 00:28:28.320
Yeah, that's inevitable.

00:28:28.320 --> 00:28:35.788
Remember there was that one on browser VR.

00:28:35.788 --> 00:28:38.652
It was like an Avalanche one and you put the controllers on your feet.

00:28:38.652 --> 00:28:41.135
Way back in the day, Do you remember?

00:28:41.175 --> 00:28:43.198
this, oh my God, and you go downhill.

00:28:43.198 --> 00:28:46.250
Yes, We've had that, we've had that game.

00:28:46.269 --> 00:28:46.896
It was on a browser.

00:28:46.896 --> 00:28:50.073
You just go on there on your oculus browser yes, I remember that.

00:28:50.093 --> 00:28:50.694
You remember that.

00:28:50.694 --> 00:29:00.587
If I remember it wasn't the worst, it was around the time that we experimented with brushworks vr, which was another browser one yeah, man, I forgot all about that.

00:29:00.607 --> 00:29:10.777
You put it on your feet yeah you remember that, yeah, but I could totally see how a downhill skiing one would work, though with your, you know cross country for sure.

00:29:10.916 --> 00:29:15.329
Yeah, because you'd use the gorilla tag movement yeah, it's like currently popular.

00:29:16.732 --> 00:29:18.476
Yeah, I mean somebody.

00:29:18.476 --> 00:29:26.665
I hope somebody knows whatever web app we're talking about, but nonetheless, I remember that yeah a game that we both love toy trains vr.

00:29:26.665 --> 00:29:29.450
They're getting a new update on april 18th.

00:29:29.450 --> 00:29:31.913
That's bringing not only new gameplay levels.

00:29:31.913 --> 00:29:35.176
Nonetheless, I remember that, yeah, a game that we both love Toy.

00:29:35.196 --> 00:29:35.436
Trains VR.

00:29:35.457 --> 00:29:39.402
They're getting a new update on April 18th that's bringing not only new gameplay levels, but also an endless sandbox mode as well.

00:29:39.442 --> 00:29:41.423
That's pretty cool For a game like Toy Trains.

00:29:41.423 --> 00:29:41.964
It's made for sandbox.

00:29:42.464 --> 00:29:43.734
I actually thought conceptually, that's what it was going to be.

00:29:43.698 --> 00:29:45.084
And then it was all level-based and mission-based.

00:29:45.244 --> 00:29:46.590
I have to actually do shit.

00:29:46.590 --> 00:29:48.308
It's the opposite.

00:29:48.308 --> 00:29:50.288
You would think it launched with the sandbox and then, missions came after.

00:29:50.792 --> 00:29:52.814
But it's cool that not only I love Toy Train, so it's cool.

00:29:52.974 --> 00:30:02.867
Yeah, really good game, and it's cool that they didn't only just launch the sandbox mode but they also added new levels for the people that love that aspect of the game.

00:30:02.867 --> 00:30:04.173
So cool stuff.

00:30:04.173 --> 00:30:09.421
I enjoy it, yeah, and if you haven't checked it out yet, I haven't finished it, but I enjoy it.

00:30:09.421 --> 00:30:10.848
Updates are good for games.

00:30:10.848 --> 00:30:14.113
It brings them back into the news cycle a little bit.

00:30:14.113 --> 00:30:22.886
There's so many releases, Some games get buried a bit, and I think Toy Trains is one that a lot of people would enjoy but maybe not everybody's checked out yet.

00:30:22.886 --> 00:30:27.897
And this new update on April 18th with the sandbox mode just another reason to go hop in.

00:30:27.897 --> 00:30:30.930
So then one more, and then we'll take an ad break.

00:30:30.930 --> 00:30:32.156
Then we'll come back with the rest of them.

00:30:32.861 --> 00:30:39.217
A game that was announced last week from a studio called Clap Hans, Ultimate Swing Golf.

00:30:39.217 --> 00:30:43.765
It's coming out on May 16th on the MetaQuest for $29.99.

00:30:43.765 --> 00:30:54.971
And the studio Clap Hans apparently have made some pre-existing golf games in the past that have been pretty popular as well, but they're coming to the MetaQuest with this one.

00:30:54.971 --> 00:30:56.996
This looks fun, it looks good.

00:30:56.996 --> 00:31:01.210
I said it to you during the trailer when we were watching it.

00:31:01.210 --> 00:31:02.829
I'm like it looks good.

00:31:02.829 --> 00:31:10.473
But golf is a tough market to break into in VR between golf plus, capturing the real golf element.

00:31:10.473 --> 00:31:14.914
So so good, and walk about hitting that mini golf.

00:31:14.914 --> 00:31:26.198
This one looks like it's more real golf than mini golf, but it looks I don't want to say arcadey but it doesn't look as focused on realism as golf plus.

00:31:26.198 --> 00:31:27.430
Maybe I just have the wrong.

00:31:27.984 --> 00:31:34.672
I think the golf physics will be, and I know what you're saying, with natural setting and all that stuff, but there's room for this.

00:31:34.672 --> 00:31:37.871
So it's not rhythm-based.

00:31:38.432 --> 00:31:40.076
So the market's, not that saturated.

00:31:40.557 --> 00:31:43.752
No, is there room for another fun golf game?

00:31:43.752 --> 00:31:44.355
Absolutely.

00:31:44.684 --> 00:31:47.094
It looked like it used the Quest avatars as well.

00:31:48.025 --> 00:31:49.171
Yeah, that I'm curious about.

00:31:49.171 --> 00:31:51.471
I couldn't tell for sure.

00:31:51.986 --> 00:31:52.789
It looked like it though.

00:31:52.931 --> 00:31:53.131
Yeah.

00:31:53.605 --> 00:31:55.231
It looked like it, but I'm not 100%.

00:31:55.231 --> 00:32:00.924
I do like the studio name Claphons, claphons, claphons, claphons.

00:32:00.924 --> 00:32:02.907
I think it's supposed to be a clap hands, but Claphons, claphons.

00:32:02.907 --> 00:32:06.834
Supposed to be a clap hands, but clap hans, clap hans.

00:32:06.874 --> 00:32:09.038
German company too funny.

00:32:09.038 --> 00:32:10.019
What studio is it?

00:32:17.805 --> 00:32:18.066
clap hans.

00:32:18.066 --> 00:32:18.709
Oh no, I'm where they're from.

00:32:18.709 --> 00:32:19.029
Oh, I don't know.

00:32:19.029 --> 00:32:20.537
I wonder if it is like a european thing, but you're asking me the name.

00:32:20.537 --> 00:32:21.078
I was just joking about it.

00:32:21.078 --> 00:32:22.945
Clap on, no, that that yeah, I was down here in mississippi.

00:32:22.945 --> 00:32:25.230
It sounds like dutch or something like that, but h?

00:32:25.230 --> 00:32:29.538
It sounds like Dutch or something like that, but that sounds like something that some dudes from Georgia would do as a joke as well too.

00:32:29.538 --> 00:32:32.171
So who knows, I don't know about that.

00:32:34.986 --> 00:32:36.933
Al's got them peaches down here.

00:32:36.933 --> 00:32:39.412
That's a lovely Georgia peaches.

00:32:39.705 --> 00:32:46.259
So I said that would be the last one before we take an ad break, but nonetheless, ultimate Swing Golf from Claphons coming.

00:32:46.299 --> 00:32:47.884
May 16th for $29.99.

00:32:47.884 --> 00:32:49.369
I cannot wait to play it, though, yeah.

00:32:49.510 --> 00:32:49.852
I'm excited.

00:32:49.852 --> 00:32:51.328
May 16th, that's one month away.

00:32:52.814 --> 00:32:53.276
That's crazy.

00:32:53.276 --> 00:32:55.170
It reminds me of a golf game I used to play.

00:32:55.170 --> 00:32:57.916
That was pretty fucking fun.

00:32:57.984 --> 00:33:00.692
A little bit more playful style, right?

00:33:01.153 --> 00:33:05.795
if we're thinking of the same game, yeah, and it might have been a little forgiving with the holes too.

00:33:07.444 --> 00:33:23.061
So if it's similar, we're the same one, I'll be excited so you know, right before we take an ad break, you know I'll give a shout out to our patreon supporters on an audio, on our, on our on air shout out tier and I'll plug our discord server and the youtube and subscribe, like always too.

00:33:23.061 --> 00:33:26.589
But right before that I do want to give a shout out to Toast Interactive.

00:33:26.589 --> 00:33:30.016
They sent us this nice gift box with stuff.

00:33:30.016 --> 00:33:31.778
You see me rock in the Max Mustard shirt.

00:33:31.778 --> 00:33:34.608
You know I always joke in our Discord.

00:33:34.608 --> 00:33:41.516
I go Max Mustard, that funky mustard, and I'm saying it like Beastie Boys Brass Monkey.

00:33:41.516 --> 00:33:45.474
But I feel like, because it's text and I'm just writing it in the Discord.

00:33:45.474 --> 00:33:48.221
Nobody has ever responded to me saying it.

00:33:48.221 --> 00:33:51.432
I'm like I know you all have heard Brass Monkey by Beastie Boys.

00:33:51.432 --> 00:33:52.914
Maybe nobody likes it.

00:33:52.914 --> 00:33:54.077
No, probably not.

00:33:54.265 --> 00:34:01.017
But that's what I think of now, whenever I see Max Mustard, I'm like Max Mustard, that funky mustard, that funky mustard.

00:34:01.017 --> 00:34:05.916
Imagine if you booted into the game and that's what blasted on the start menu.

00:34:05.916 --> 00:34:19.797
Shake me too hard, you'll see my custard, sorry I couldn't resist but again they sent us this nice gift basket with with some stuff.

00:34:20.038 --> 00:34:24.527
You know you're gonna think that every fucking time, dude, there's so much potential for it.

00:34:24.588 --> 00:34:27.789
I hope they capitalize it on it a little bit, but nonetheless.

00:34:27.829 --> 00:34:30.552
Max Mustard, boom, chicka pow pow.

00:34:30.952 --> 00:34:32.233
Max Mustard.

00:34:32.233 --> 00:34:35.657
So much potential with the branding of that game.

00:34:35.657 --> 00:34:40.481
Yeah, but in the nice little stuff they sent us, we'll get down to the business.

00:34:40.481 --> 00:34:43.003
Came with this nice little t-shirt Max Mustard shirt.

00:34:43.003 --> 00:34:45.786
I'm a sucker for a good shirt, but you want to grab the tote bag.

00:34:45.786 --> 00:34:49.932
It came with a sick tote bag, reusable bag, which this sounds silly.

00:34:49.932 --> 00:34:51.916
I use reusable bags and stuff like that.

00:34:51.916 --> 00:34:54.179
This is a good quality reusable bag.

00:34:54.179 --> 00:34:56.030
Yeah, it's like really good quality it is.

00:34:56.030 --> 00:34:57.590
It's like very nicely made.

00:34:58.105 --> 00:34:59.431
There's no jank in this.

00:34:59.864 --> 00:35:02.289
In this there's like a poster 3D poster, that poster.

00:35:02.309 --> 00:35:03.231
That's a 3D poster.

00:35:03.251 --> 00:35:05.556
It comes with 3D glasses Old school as well.

00:35:05.556 --> 00:35:06.617
It's freaking awesome.

00:35:06.617 --> 00:35:07.518
Should I open it or?

00:35:10.045 --> 00:35:11.690
No, no, it's too much to then roll up.

00:35:11.690 --> 00:35:12.632
It's too much for the camera as well.

00:35:12.753 --> 00:35:15.150
That's true too, all the hieroglyphic looking stuff.

00:35:15.150 --> 00:35:16.347
So a nice poster.

00:35:16.347 --> 00:35:22.427
They also sent a nice postcard with some, you know, a nice letter, as well as some trading cards.

00:35:22.907 --> 00:35:28.182
And as well, I'm a sucker for and max mustard is one of them yeah, look at these.

00:35:28.543 --> 00:35:30.849
Boom, these are freaking cool.

00:35:30.849 --> 00:35:34.295
So nice t-shirt, a poster and some nice trading cards.

00:35:34.295 --> 00:35:44.009
So huge thank you to toast interactive for spreading some love for max mustard, a game that has been so well dropping that mustard custard now that's in my head.

00:35:44.009 --> 00:35:50.077
So much, dude, tell me there's not potential with a parody of Brass Monkey focused on Max Mustard.

00:35:50.077 --> 00:35:51.621
Yeah, total potential.

00:35:51.621 --> 00:35:57.157
But this game the longer it's out, I keep seeing more and more rave reviews about it.

00:35:57.224 --> 00:36:00.431
People are loving themselves some Max Mustard, Because when they play it it's fun.

00:36:00.431 --> 00:36:02.626

00:36:02.626 --> 00:36:09.898

And we are back and again on the news of game updates PowerWash, simvr.

00:39:55.115 --> 00:40:05.380
They're getting a Spongebob SquarePants Bikini Bottom DLC, which is quite the collaboration right there, spongebob yeah.

00:40:05.380 --> 00:40:12.380
Coming to PowerWash SimVR Dude, we're going to have some sort of Spongebob franchising in VR.

00:40:12.989 --> 00:40:15.057
Well, what's cool is they're willing to bring shit in.

00:40:15.057 --> 00:40:20.181
So if you're buying the game, at least you have the hopes that there's more DLC coming.

00:40:20.181 --> 00:40:25.317
They'll be different and they're obviously not scared to go off make-believe shit either.

00:40:25.317 --> 00:40:26.318
Spongebob.

00:40:26.338 --> 00:40:28.161
Squarepants so unexpected.

00:40:28.161 --> 00:40:33.014
Yeah, it's a weird one it looks, fun though it does, I gotta hop in.

00:40:33.449 --> 00:40:36.460
So it's like I don't care what they give you, I'm on it.

00:40:37.110 --> 00:40:38.173
I gotta hop into this one.

00:40:38.173 --> 00:40:38.394
It's dirty.

00:40:38.414 --> 00:40:41.172
I'm gonna clean it, give me my power washer SpongeBob.

00:40:41.192 --> 00:40:43.099
SquarePants, dlc and power washer.

00:40:43.099 --> 00:40:44.876
I've never been in SpongeBob World.

00:40:44.876 --> 00:40:46.150
Well, now you can.

00:40:46.150 --> 00:40:47.432
That's going to be the cool thing.

00:40:47.432 --> 00:40:54.822
I've seen quite a few episodes in my lifetime with you and your sister, you're going to see SpongeBob's pineapple home in VR.

00:40:54.822 --> 00:40:56.344
You're going to have to clean it.

00:40:56.344 --> 00:40:57.485
Come on, it's pretty cool.

00:40:57.485 --> 00:41:00.416
Probably clean the Krusty Krab or something like that.

00:41:00.416 --> 00:41:02.061
It's going to be cool.

00:41:02.061 --> 00:41:05.771
I wonder if they're going to show the iconic characters in the background or something you got to.

00:41:05.771 --> 00:41:07.893
You got to give some support, but let's see Give.

00:41:07.914 --> 00:41:09.536
SpongeBob a bath.

00:41:09.896 --> 00:41:15.784
And then also related to PowerWashSim VR, the studio behind it, futurelab.

00:41:15.784 --> 00:41:31.219
They were purchased by Miniclip, which I'm pretty sure is the same Miniclip that ran a Flash game website that I used to play all the time Back in the day, maybe sometimes during school, maybe sometimes at home.

00:41:31.809 --> 00:41:39.818
But you know, to me my top three Flash game websites were AddictingGamescom, newgrounds and Miniclip.

00:41:39.818 --> 00:41:45.740
And I haven't heard of Miniclip since like sixth grade, you know, seventh grade.

00:41:45.740 --> 00:41:57.244
So to see them now all of a sudden in the news buying the studio behind PowerWash Sim VR, that wins my unexpected news of the week award for sure.

00:41:57.244 --> 00:41:59.577
I would never have predicted it.

00:41:59.577 --> 00:42:01.376
I don't know what they've been doing Left field shit.

00:42:01.376 --> 00:42:03.056
I didn't know they had the funds to buy it.

00:42:03.056 --> 00:42:07.681
I mean, I got to imagine the studio behind PowerWash Sim is successful, right?

00:42:08.431 --> 00:42:19.449
I mean yeah, you would think yeah, I don't think they're losing money and apparently they're keeping the same like leadership in charge of it and stuff.

00:42:19.469 --> 00:42:20.713
They're not all stay the same.

00:42:20.713 --> 00:42:23.400
They're not like cutting everyone and yeah, it's just now.

00:42:23.460 --> 00:42:24.692
It's owned by miniclip.

00:42:24.692 --> 00:42:31.179
I was like such an unexpected name and technically they're in the vr world now, so interesting interesting to see what happens.

00:42:31.179 --> 00:42:32.795
From Flash games to VR.

00:42:32.795 --> 00:42:35.436
They should be calling Ben Olding right now going, let's talk.

00:42:36.630 --> 00:42:37.173
I bet you he's.

00:42:37.173 --> 00:42:42.833
There's a lot of former Flash game devs in VR.

00:42:42.994 --> 00:42:48.452
I wonder he's one of them, the developer of Dragon Fist Kung Fu VR.

00:42:48.452 --> 00:42:51.358
I wonder if he ever published anything to Miniclip.

00:42:51.358 --> 00:42:56.317
So two pieces of news related to Power Wash Sim, Both extremely unexpected.

00:42:56.317 --> 00:42:57.934
Spongebob SquarePants.

00:42:57.954 --> 00:42:58.215
DLC.

00:42:59.010 --> 00:43:01.954
And then the studio behind them getting bought both in the same week.

00:43:02.670 --> 00:43:08.815
Okay, was not expecting that but carrying on, and then this was actually some news that we missed the past week.

00:43:08.815 --> 00:43:14.538
But the next update of the Quest version 64, it's mainly for the Quest 3.

00:43:14.538 --> 00:43:26.302
It's going to bring improved mixed reality, like graphics you know, visuals and it's also going to allow access for external mics on the Quest 3.

00:43:26.302 --> 00:43:35.809
Before, there was no way to use a different mic natively on your Quest 3, so you're restricted to the mic on the headset, which really isn't the worst mic.

00:43:35.809 --> 00:43:37.056
Yeah, I don't know how they're doing that.

00:43:37.990 --> 00:43:41.115
What do you mean, like how you're going to be able to use the external.

00:43:42.192 --> 00:43:42.878
Well they had.

00:43:42.878 --> 00:43:47.112
They actually went out of their way to disable the Build E2 before.

00:43:47.132 --> 00:43:47.353
Yeah.

00:43:47.353 --> 00:43:48.916
So I'm just curious.

00:43:48.916 --> 00:43:49.438
I can't wait.

00:43:49.458 --> 00:43:52.251
You're gonna plug it in probably to the usb c slot.

00:43:52.251 --> 00:44:00.751
I'm sure there's usbc mics or you'll do it in the headset, the auxiliary one, yeah, but isn't that an out only?

00:44:00.751 --> 00:44:02.894
I think it's an.

00:44:02.894 --> 00:44:08.871
I'm pretty sure it's an in and out that via software was only an out.

00:44:08.891 --> 00:44:09.532
So I'm curious.

00:44:09.532 --> 00:44:10.996
I'm excited for the pass-through.

00:44:10.996 --> 00:44:23.900
But I don't know, don't quote me on that Because I not that the pass-through is bad, but if it's going to like tighten up some of the waviness or whatever, then I'm like you know, and I can sign onto my phone with pass-through.

00:44:23.900 --> 00:44:27.512
It's just not 100% crystal clear all the time.

00:44:27.632 --> 00:44:31.333
You mean like look at your phone screen and do stuff, yeah, yeah.

00:44:31.333 --> 00:44:43.980
And I will say it's important to note this that Meta does both rolling updates and rolling features, so meaning, when you get the newest update, not everybody's going to get it at the same time.

00:44:44.420 --> 00:44:45.460
No, they're rolling it out.

00:44:45.701 --> 00:44:55.306
Yes, and beyond that, when you get the update, they also roll out the new features to the update, so you might get the update and not the feature.

00:44:55.306 --> 00:44:57.407
Yes, that's crazy.

00:44:57.407 --> 00:44:59.268
I understand the rolling updates.

00:45:01.391 --> 00:45:01.472
Yeah.

00:45:01.472 --> 00:45:08.735
I get it because if some people get it, then there's bugs and then there's Well, I don't see any improvement or whatever, because you don't have the feature yet to go with the update, correct?

00:45:08.815 --> 00:45:10.860
So just something for people to keep in mind.

00:45:10.860 --> 00:45:12.742
It's, not only it's not a guarantee.

00:45:13.063 --> 00:45:23.248
Yeah, you got to wait for your turn to get the update and you got to wait for your turn to get the features sometimes included in the update as well, or you download the update and you have it all good to go.

00:45:23.248 --> 00:45:24.494
It's just the way it goes.

00:45:24.494 --> 00:45:40.856
So more game update news Among Us VR from Shell Games, which I do want to pause real quick and say that last week I said that we didn't have a price yet on Silent Slayer, which was factually incorrect.

00:45:40.856 --> 00:45:43.293
That was a misstatement from me.

00:45:43.293 --> 00:45:45.016
In fact, we have.

00:45:45.016 --> 00:45:51.739
Silent Slayer is available for pre-order right now for 10% off the base price of $19.99.

00:45:51.739 --> 00:45:52.885
So you can get available for pre-order right now for 10% off the base price of $19.99.

00:45:52.885 --> 00:45:56.550
So you can get it for pre-order right now for $17.99.

00:45:56.550 --> 00:46:00.617
I just wanted to correct myself, since we're talking about a Shell Games game now.

00:46:00.617 --> 00:46:02.041
You know it felt appropriate.

00:46:02.041 --> 00:46:04.574
But Among Us VR from Shell Games.

00:46:05.615 --> 00:46:08.081
A couple months ago they did a limited time event.

00:46:08.081 --> 00:46:12.840
That was pretty fun and it looks like they're continuing with that trend with a new limited time event.

00:46:12.840 --> 00:46:23.576
It's an infection event that pits chefs against what they call Zomberitos, which already has me laughing, and this one actually sounds pretty cool.

00:46:23.576 --> 00:46:25.637
It breaks you into two teams.

00:46:25.637 --> 00:46:27.677
So you have chefs who they have to.

00:46:27.677 --> 00:46:30.715
Their goal is to complete 10 tasks.

00:46:30.715 --> 00:46:35.054
If they complete 10 tasks they win the Zombritos.

00:46:35.054 --> 00:46:43.358
Their goal is to infect the chefs and, unlike classic Among Us, where you know you have to find who the imposter is, somebody gets killed.

00:46:43.358 --> 00:46:44.179
Now they're a ghost.

00:46:44.179 --> 00:46:48.436
If a Zombrito infects a chef, they become a Zombrito.

00:46:48.436 --> 00:46:57.646
So it's a race between the zombritos to infect all the chefs and the chefs to complete 10 tasks, which right away you went dude.

00:46:57.646 --> 00:46:57.907
That's.

00:46:57.907 --> 00:47:00.653
That's going to be hard for the chefs well I.

00:47:01.034 --> 00:47:02.577
What has the without?

00:47:02.777 --> 00:47:05.943
just on on concept without having tried it.

00:47:06.885 --> 00:47:13.362
Um, I'm just curious like why couldn't the Zomberitos just bum rush?

00:47:14.030 --> 00:47:17.597
That's what your brain went to, but I'm thinking there's going to be something that's.

00:47:17.597 --> 00:47:19.552
Allows them to move or something.

00:47:19.552 --> 00:47:26.096
Maybe the vents Allows who to move, the chefs Like allows them to move in a way that zombies can't.

00:47:26.096 --> 00:47:26.878
Yeah, I don't know.

00:47:26.878 --> 00:47:27.800
I'm sorry.

00:47:31.889 --> 00:47:32.992
Otherwise, if it's five on five, it five.

00:47:32.992 --> 00:47:39.431
It's like well, if you know you're a zomburrito, just fucking bum, rush, you know and touch and do whatever.

00:47:39.431 --> 00:47:50.639
But I'm thinking there must be something that prevents you from just doing that so it'll be interesting if there's like maybe you have to do a task first and then you can.

00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:51.641
So I don't know.

00:47:52.063 --> 00:48:02.690
I've got a lot of questions with this one I have a feeling obviously, the more chefs you grab, the easier it gets for the zombaritos maybe they only start you with one or two zombaritos against eight chefs.

00:48:03.431 --> 00:48:06.818
So I'm I'm a zombarito and you're a chef, and we go into the server.

00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:11.347
I'm gonna instantly smack you maybe we start way away from each other.

00:48:11.347 --> 00:48:14.777
I don't know lots of questions, but this one does sound fun.

00:48:15.018 --> 00:48:23.063
Yeah, this one sounds real cool I was like all right, I just I have to know so, and I trust shell games yeah, I love it at this point.

00:48:23.063 --> 00:48:24.110
No, I was upset.

00:48:24.110 --> 00:48:27.358
They took away the, the last little feature.

00:48:27.358 --> 00:48:29.121
I was like man, that was.

00:48:29.262 --> 00:48:36.976
That was a cool one well, you know, when, like food companies, they do a bunch of limited-time chips, then they all go away.

00:48:36.976 --> 00:48:40.938
It's not a chip, but then the best-received of them comes back.

00:48:40.938 --> 00:48:42.474
You know that might be.

00:48:42.474 --> 00:48:44.556
What they're doing is they're just testing a bunch of different game modes.

00:48:44.556 --> 00:48:45.976
They're just doing whatever they want.

00:48:46.369 --> 00:48:48.635
And maybe the best one comes.

00:48:48.675 --> 00:48:49.777
you know, I don't know.

00:48:49.777 --> 00:48:51.983
I don't want to slander any chip companies.

00:48:51.983 --> 00:48:59.969
My friend came over with a bag of chips from a big-name chip company that was like honey, sweet and honey.

00:48:59.969 --> 00:49:02.177
It was just disgusting.

00:49:02.177 --> 00:49:11.856
It was like one of their test experimental flavors that they put out, you know, and they're always like oh, you know, oh, my God, it was vile, it was absolutely disgusting.

00:49:12.389 --> 00:49:14.838
Yeah, I'm usually not a fan I'd rather a ketchup chip.

00:49:14.838 --> 00:49:24.574
When people, when these companies start thinking outside the box of what tastes good and that's the worst part is like oh my God, it was.

00:49:24.574 --> 00:49:30.541
I don't even know they would have had to have beta tested it with consumers to like try this and we want your feedback.

00:49:30.541 --> 00:49:32.833
So how many of those people that try these products aren't?

00:49:32.974 --> 00:49:38.715
honest, six different people tried it without seeing the other person's reaction hated it yes, all went.

00:49:38.715 --> 00:49:40.077
What the fuck is?

00:49:40.097 --> 00:49:40.579
that I get it.

00:49:40.579 --> 00:49:43.550
No, I totally get it so that was that.

00:49:43.592 --> 00:49:45.115
I could have done the taste testing for him.

00:49:45.115 --> 00:49:45.958
I did it last night.

00:49:45.958 --> 00:49:49.032
It was gross, you didn't need to put it in six, six out of six, hey.

00:49:49.032 --> 00:49:51.554
Next.

00:49:52.155 --> 00:49:52.355
Yep.

00:49:52.856 --> 00:49:54.938
Not in this market, not in this geographic.

00:49:54.938 --> 00:50:01.643
Maybe isn't that funny how sometimes some Well, that's the thing too Some regional they might love that in the southwest, you know.

00:50:01.744 --> 00:50:03.465
Fried okra is huge down in the south.

00:50:03.485 --> 00:50:04.086
Yeah, so.

00:50:04.086 --> 00:50:08.956
But yet you can only find it in a couple of restaurants here in Massachusetts.

00:50:08.956 --> 00:50:09.737
Six out of six hated that shit.

00:50:09.737 --> 00:50:10.380
I'll tell you that.

00:50:10.380 --> 00:50:12.907
So other Get that crap out of here.

00:50:14.894 --> 00:50:19.298
Other news A game that was featured at the Rough Talk VR Gaming Showcase.

00:50:19.298 --> 00:50:21.277
Stay tuned for next year's as well.

00:50:21.277 --> 00:50:22.916
I'm excited to start the planning of that.

00:50:22.916 --> 00:50:28.431
You know, sooner rather than later it's a new hand A game Masters of Light VR.

00:50:28.431 --> 00:50:29.273
It's a new game, masters of Light VR.

00:50:29.273 --> 00:50:31.034
It's a new hand-tracking adventure game.

00:50:31.034 --> 00:50:35.760
It's coming out in May of this year with a pre-order available now.

00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:41.045
Same price as Silent Slayer $19.99, or you can pre-order it now with 10% off.

00:50:41.045 --> 00:50:44.092
It brings it down to $17.99.

00:50:44.092 --> 00:50:54.724
It's a hand-tracking adventure game featuring 36 different levels, three different difficulties, some trophies to unlock, a bunch of different gameplay elements too.

00:50:54.724 --> 00:51:00.076
It looks like some punching, some I don't even know A whole bunch of shit.

00:51:00.076 --> 00:51:01.659
Right, it looked like every level.

00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:02.302
You're here to do stuff.

00:51:02.690 --> 00:51:04.958
Every level looked a little bit different from what they were showing.

00:51:04.958 --> 00:51:12.856
It looked like, like I said at one point, it looked like some rhythm punching At some point, more like touching stuff at the right time, some puzzle elements.

00:51:12.856 --> 00:51:21.018
It was hard to put an exact touch on it, but it looks like there's a lot of potential to it.

00:51:21.971 --> 00:51:23.195
I'm anxious to try it.

00:51:23.195 --> 00:51:30.436
There's a lot of games that I don't feel videos do the justice of Do the justice of what the actual gameplay is, or like what you should.

00:51:30.436 --> 00:51:33.422
I mean, they don't do a bad job with it, but it looks like one of those.

00:51:33.422 --> 00:51:38.579
Well A, it's hand tracking, so right off the bat, I'm going to have to know firsthand how good it is.

00:51:38.579 --> 00:51:38.980
Yeah.

00:51:39.380 --> 00:51:40.751
It's like this.

00:51:40.751 --> 00:51:44.099
One needs a 10 minute deep dive to do justice, to explain, you know.

00:51:44.739 --> 00:51:45.081
I don't know.

00:51:45.282 --> 00:51:45.762
Like a video.

00:51:45.762 --> 00:51:55.284
You you remember how the showcase for shell game like over the rough talk, vr gaming showcase ended with shell games explaining everything about silent slayer.

00:51:55.284 --> 00:52:03.932
Yeah, masters of light needs one of those yeah, because I got a bunch of questions yeah, I get it so, but I'm excited for this one and then another one.

00:52:03.932 --> 00:52:08.867
Uh, township, or the developers of township tale alta, the studio.

00:52:08.867 --> 00:52:12.358
They announced that they have a new project that they're calling, creatively, project 2.

00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:14.494
Obviously, Dungeons of Eternity.

00:52:15.291 --> 00:52:25.478
Project 2, that's not going to be the final name by any means, but it's going to be what looks like a multiplayer dungeon crawler, and so far they just posted one video.

00:52:25.478 --> 00:52:32.097
But in that video they said that they're going to be posting weekly videos on their YouTube channel documenting the development process.

00:52:32.097 --> 00:52:36.400
So I'm all you joked Dungeons of Eternity.

00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:38.809
I'm down for a good multiplayer dungeon crawler.

00:52:38.809 --> 00:52:46.461
There's only one really good co-op one on the store right now, on the MetaQuest store, and that's Dungeons of Eternity.

00:52:46.461 --> 00:52:47.804
I'm down for another.

00:52:47.804 --> 00:52:48.804
Bring it.

00:52:50.715 --> 00:52:53.994
I'm down for another, if they bring something of their own to the table.

00:52:54.094 --> 00:52:55.257
Yeah, their own flavor to it.

00:52:55.257 --> 00:52:55.878
And what?

00:52:56.300 --> 00:52:59.114
scares me a little is on the video I saw.

00:52:59.114 --> 00:53:00.398
I think it was a clone.

00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:06.737
Didn't see much of a difference now we're talking early shit oh my goodness, so early even the avatar models where?

00:53:06.998 --> 00:53:09.112
I just want them like running around in under undies.

00:53:09.112 --> 00:53:26.375
It's like if there's some peace of mind that like this is gonna differ, like this, then uh-oh I, I got faith that's gonna be its own unique thing but, let's see, dude, we just we even be keeping our eye on it, for sure we still go into a dungeons of eternity and have a great

00:53:26.414 --> 00:53:26.635
time.

00:53:26.635 --> 00:53:27.338
I love it.

00:53:27.338 --> 00:53:29.001
Find a good dungeon, save it.

00:53:29.001 --> 00:53:36.117
You know, we had a some freaking, hilarious moments with accidentally dying Both at the same time the other week.

00:53:36.117 --> 00:53:38.056
Just a good game that holds up.

00:53:38.056 --> 00:53:42.619
So it won our game of the year Last year, and for good reason.

00:53:42.619 --> 00:53:44.971
Even now we're still able to go into it and have a good time.

00:53:44.971 --> 00:53:52.014
So If whatever Project 2 is going to be named from Alta, if it delivers, I'm happy.

00:53:52.014 --> 00:53:53.414
I'm excited to check it out, though.

00:53:53.414 --> 00:53:55.554
And then just a couple more pieces of news.

00:53:55.554 --> 00:54:09.900
There's been rumors of Google working on some AR stuff or some VR devices, something upcoming Android-based in the XR world, and they confirmed that they have some AR announcements coming in May.

00:54:09.900 --> 00:54:11.521
So let's see.

00:54:11.521 --> 00:54:19.425
That doesn't mean their hardware is going to release in May, but it looks like whatever they're working on is going to be officially announced.

00:54:19.425 --> 00:54:21.005
I'm excited.

00:54:21.005 --> 00:54:21.847
We shall see.

00:54:21.847 --> 00:54:23.286
I'm curious.

00:54:23.286 --> 00:54:26.268
Pricing, specs, a whole bunch of questions.

00:54:26.268 --> 00:54:33.195
Follow-through will be very important with me, with Google but we'll see.

00:54:33.215 --> 00:54:33.876
Uh, I am so skeptical of google.

00:54:33.876 --> 00:54:34.619
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

00:54:34.639 --> 00:54:38.036
It's a tough one to bite into and it's not that I'm a google hater, it's just.

00:54:38.137 --> 00:55:05.253
I mean, killed by google is a real thing, just a google history yeah yeah, you know, if they make a hit product and the products that they stick with I mean google drive, google docs, google maps, gmail, google search, which has actually gone somehow I didn't think that they could do it, but hasn't really been as good recently but the google products that deliver, they don't kill, but sometimes there's really good google products and they do get killed.

00:55:05.253 --> 00:55:15.164
So, exactly what you said we'll see where their ar stuff is in 2025, but looks like that they're going to be announcing some stuff next month, so that's cool.

00:55:15.164 --> 00:55:23.293
And then last piece of news, before I plug Toy Monsters a bit, because I always got to do that Real VR Fishing.

00:55:23.293 --> 00:55:27.429
They announced that they hit nearly 1 million users.

00:55:27.791 --> 00:55:30.717
That doesn't mean a million users actively at the same time.

00:55:30.717 --> 00:55:31.018
No.

00:55:31.338 --> 00:55:32.362
But they have people overall.

00:55:34.351 --> 00:55:35.639
Now serving that's pretty cool.

00:55:35.659 --> 00:55:36.224
I love real VR fishing.

00:55:36.224 --> 00:55:37.090
The million mark is pretty good.

00:55:38.233 --> 00:55:39.525
And they didn't say that they passed it yet.

00:55:39.525 --> 00:55:46.197
They said they're nearly at a million, but they're definitely going to hit it, especially as more VR users you know they get headsets.

00:55:46.197 --> 00:55:50.422
I feel like that that's one that might get missed by newer vr users.

00:55:50.422 --> 00:55:51.769
That was a big deal.

00:55:51.769 --> 00:55:55.880
When we first got our quest 2s, that was like a game at the top of everybody's.

00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:56.722
You gotta get list.

00:55:56.722 --> 00:56:03.652
Yeah, that doesn't seem like it still gets that same love, despite being a game that holds up strong in 2024.

00:56:04.114 --> 00:56:09.672
so if you're a fishing fan, I think real vr fishing is like that's the cream of the crop, that's peak, they did a great job with it.

00:56:09.672 --> 00:56:13.757
So million active or million, that's the cream of the crop, that's peak, they did a great job with it.

00:56:13.757 --> 00:56:15.199
So a million users, that's cool stuff.

00:56:15.199 --> 00:56:21.065
And then, lastly, last week Toy Monsters did officially drop on the official MetaQuest store.

00:56:21.065 --> 00:56:31.905
So if you haven't grabbed it yet, you like plants versus zombies, you like?

00:56:31.925 --> 00:56:32.447
a good tower defense game.

00:56:32.447 --> 00:56:33.250
Dude Toy Monsters go grab it.

00:56:33.250 --> 00:56:37.599
Game that I highly recommend the developer I liked it when it was in beta more on the very early access.

00:56:37.599 --> 00:56:39.021
It's a lot different now.

00:56:39.322 --> 00:56:43.396
It's gotten so much better so much more content made by a solo dev too.

00:56:43.396 --> 00:56:46.242
Really cute, cute artwork, so much fun.

00:56:46.242 --> 00:56:51.617
So you know I've been plugging it the last couple weeks, but it's officially out now on the the meta quest store.

00:56:51.617 --> 00:56:54.322
Go support, uh, a great solo dev.

00:56:54.322 --> 00:56:56.469
Go check out toy monsters vr if you haven't yet.

00:56:56.469 --> 00:57:04.275
So that's all I got for vr news you know, anything else that that you heard in the week that you want to talk about pretty much covers it.

00:57:04.496 --> 00:57:05.297
Yeah, this was a.

00:57:05.297 --> 00:57:06.561
This was a good episode.

00:57:06.561 --> 00:57:13.213
A lot on the agenda this week fun stuff in the twitter land of vr with arguments and stuff like that.

00:57:13.213 --> 00:57:15.983
The rough talk, vr discord been great as always.

00:57:15.983 --> 00:57:19.614
Patreon growing, youtube growing so close to pc.

00:57:19.614 --> 00:57:20.536
Vr, we're shopping.

00:57:20.536 --> 00:57:22.704
At this point we are shopping.

00:57:22.704 --> 00:57:28.384
I mean like we have a great discussion thread going in our discord with like pre-built options.

00:57:28.384 --> 00:57:37.639
Right now we're even leaning towards having Micro Center in Cambridge build one for us and driving our asses to Cambridge on a road trip to go pick up two.

00:57:37.639 --> 00:57:40.295
But we're there, that's where we're at.

00:57:40.295 --> 00:57:41.880
We're shopping.

00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:46.317
And TP he's on our Patreon list TPZ, our boy, tpz.

00:57:46.771 --> 00:57:49.891
I'm going to do something rare while you're holding the mic, I'm going to go use the bathroom, that's fine.

00:57:50.092 --> 00:57:50.916
Too much coffee.

00:57:50.916 --> 00:57:52.496
I'll just wrap it up right after this.

00:57:52.496 --> 00:57:57.420
I'll say he did a great job, you know, putting together a micro center pre-built.

00:57:57.420 --> 00:58:09.215
