Welcome to the ad for my podcast called the dictionary

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:14,000
My name is Spencer Parks. I host this podcast. I read the dictionary the words the definitions

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,720
etymologies even more I talk about it. I try to explain things

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:26,880
I also sometimes try to put in some silly jokes or silly sing-songy things

6
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:35,000
You know it's just a fun way to read the dictionary sometimes I have guests on and I hope that you will turn on this podcast

8
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,440

Edutainment check it out in all the places that you can find podcasts

10
00:00:47,220 --> 00:00:50,200
We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you

11
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,160
Yeah, what?

12
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,760
We

13
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,600
We are not introducing it like that what yeah, I mean that's fair

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,240
It's really not the time for breaking news, but this is a different episode

15
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,920
Mm-hmm we're playing with the format. I like to play with format

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,200
But this time it's because we're actually listening to the people from the talk from oh

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,600
Why the social needs what do you mean why?

18
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,320
So we were reading the comments

19
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:23,320
Mm-hmm, that's not good

20
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:27,840
Listen our listeners are lovely you made a comment in the sonic episode

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:34,040
So when the Genesis first released it was bundled with the

22
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,880
Forgotten came altered beast

23
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,400
Excuse me

24
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,400
You sure did and I stand by it

25
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,280
Doubling down

26
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,600
But now we're gonna make a whole episode about the word forgotten because apparently

27
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,560
This is not a forgotten game. Okay. It was a made game. It was made

28
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:01,820
I guess we can welcome to how did this get made it did get made it did get made all about the stories that were made

29
00:02:01,820 --> 00:02:05,560
Yep, I'm like see Riley and I'm Daniel Corka

30
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:26,280
Okay, so the internet quickly to hold us that altered beast is not forgotten at all

31
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:33,680
Mm-hmm pretty beloved yeah, which is brand new information to me, but you're the video game expert of the two of us so

32
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:41,720
Still a very low low bar. Mm-hmm. I don't know that either of us are gamers can someone sub in for me?

33
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:48,560
No, okay, so I thought that we would course correct our whole forgotten comment and we can do a mini episode all about

34
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,400
Altered beast little history little gameplay

35
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:58,140
For those of you that were in the same campus us altered beast is a Sega game, which is why it was in our sonic episode

36
00:02:58,140 --> 00:03:00,140
Yes came out in

37
00:03:00,140 --> 00:03:07,220
88 as an arcade game. Mm-hmm. I did so well that it came out with the launch of the Sega Genesis at home

38
00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:10,900
Well, do you know why it got paired up with there because it did well well

39
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:16,620
It was one of the many arcade games that were there the thing is like it did it did all right

40
00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:20,720
It did well here not so hot in Japan, but it did well here

41
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:27,700
Yeah, part of the reason why they chose this game over many different games because the gameplay for it not too great but

42
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:30,100
listen

43
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:36,980
It's a very specific type of game. I learned so much. Yeah, but the reason why they chose to bring this game as

44
00:03:36,980 --> 00:03:43,620
The first game to be bundled with the Sega Genesis is because it showed off the 16-bit graphics

45
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:47,980
That part I did not understand so I did not

46
00:03:47,980 --> 00:03:53,760
But it's a beat-em-up game. I didn't know that was a type of game

47
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,120
Yeah, do you know what beat-em-up means like a side-scrower situation like we have with altered beast

48
00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:04,260
You're just kind of going through the levels and you're just kind of like just mowing down just opponents

49
00:04:04,260 --> 00:04:09,100
Did you ever play the Simpsons game in the arcade? No, I did not okay. That's a beat-em-up game

50
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:14,540
And I don't know that I've ever outside of going to a Dave and Buster's for somebody's birthday have stepped into an arcade

51
00:04:14,540 --> 00:04:17,060
Well, I mean

52
00:04:17,060 --> 00:04:24,900
Moving right past it's a beat-em-up game. It's a very straightforward premise of just like you just but it's only hand-to-hand combat or simple like melee weapons

53
00:04:24,980 --> 00:04:31,180
That's what it's a brawler kind of yeah the teenage mutant in Detertles game they did that's a beat-em-up game

54
00:04:31,180 --> 00:04:33,180
Do you know there was a die hard?

55
00:04:33,180 --> 00:04:36,460
Yeah, I used to play that in the arcade because I played hockey as a kid. Oh

56
00:04:36,460 --> 00:04:41,460
Every ice rink has an arcade in it because you got to keep the kids busy

57
00:04:41,460 --> 00:04:49,900
Yeah, and oftentimes they did have the die hard beat-em-up game where like you get to that part where it's like you either have to choose

58
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:56,260
This button or this button and depending on which button you choose you either take out the opponent right away or you don't take out that opponent

59
00:04:56,260 --> 00:04:58,460
And then you have to fight them now did it

60
00:04:58,460 --> 00:05:04,180
Emulate the movie at all not even a little bit. Oh, that's so sad. I was so excited

61
00:05:04,180 --> 00:05:11,260
They only share the name it was called die harder cade and it was the first texture mapped 3d polygon graphics game

62
00:05:11,260 --> 00:05:15,740
I did not know it was the first one. Yeah, I remember playing that a lot and a lot of us were like

63
00:05:16,060 --> 00:05:21,820
Emerizing which button you would have to hit in order to like take out the guy just like kick him over the railing

64
00:05:21,820 --> 00:05:25,180
And just like you just kind of move on so that you wouldn't have to fight them

65
00:05:25,180 --> 00:05:31,140
I really don't know how you weren't a bigger arcade kid because or like video game kid because apparently there was a Batman

66
00:05:31,140 --> 00:05:35,980
Or turns which I know is also up your alley and then a Scott pilgrim. Yep. There's a Scott pilgrim beat him up

67
00:05:35,980 --> 00:05:41,060
That was made like around the time that the movie was coming out. They just kind of like

68
00:05:41,740 --> 00:05:47,860
Cashed in on that attention 2010 to me seems like a very late time to be making arcade games

69
00:05:47,860 --> 00:05:54,860
But I know the DVD had come out and there was like a huge ad campaign with that to be like if you like the movie

70
00:05:54,860 --> 00:05:57,740
You're gonna love the video game because the movie plays like a video game

71
00:05:57,740 --> 00:05:59,420
Oh, cuz you can play at home now never mind

72
00:05:59,420 --> 00:06:04,340
I was thinking of like going to a physical arcade and I was like do the kids still go to the arcades these days

73
00:06:04,340 --> 00:06:08,340
I mean we go to the arcade, but now they cater to us and make barcades

74
00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:13,940
Yeah, it's cuz there's the dope averages there. Yeah, okay, do you know the first brawler game?

75
00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:15,620
I do know it's Kung Fu master

76
00:06:15,620 --> 00:06:21,580
It was known as Spartan X in Japan, but it's like the foundation for all of the brawling games

77
00:06:21,580 --> 00:06:28,220
Yeah, you get to play as a Kung Fu master and fight your way through five levels of the devil's temple to rescue your girlfriend

78
00:06:28,220 --> 00:06:32,180
From crime boss mr. X. I love it with these games like

79
00:06:32,180 --> 00:06:38,300
It's always so simple whenever you want to showcase just like the fighting the graphics like

80
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:41,540
Something needs to be sacrificed in in most cases. That's gotta be the story

81
00:06:41,540 --> 00:06:46,300
So it's like that's what I like about all sort beast though and we'll get to the story of it later

82
00:06:46,300 --> 00:06:52,940
It's a dense story compared to what everything else is. Yeah, you know, it's not a brawler game, but I thought it was

83
00:06:52,940 --> 00:06:59,600
Sonic no mortal combat not a brawler game. Oh, yeah, we're splitting hairs here because I was like

84
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,540
Oh Mario would be a brawler game right? No, it's a platform game

85
00:07:03,540 --> 00:07:07,980
We just switched so many tight it like I learned so much

86
00:07:07,980 --> 00:07:11,940
about the inner workings of genre of video game

87
00:07:11,940 --> 00:07:16,960
Mm-hmm. Yeah, because you're not fighting NPCs in brawlers like you were fighting in NPC

88
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:22,220
Whereas he's providing an onslaught of them like a wave of enemies as opposed to mortal combat

89
00:07:22,220 --> 00:07:24,220
It's just one-on-one. Yeah, supposedly

90
00:07:32,860 --> 00:07:38,940
Ultra Beast was designed by Makato Ishida and this was the very first game he designed. He did. Do you know how he got it?

91
00:07:38,940 --> 00:07:42,380
How he got the game? No, I know where he pulls a lot from but

92
00:07:42,380 --> 00:07:48,180
So when he was young he saw his first video game in an arcade and was just like

93
00:07:48,180 --> 00:07:51,380
enamored by them just like fascinated and

94
00:07:51,380 --> 00:07:57,160
He would write his bike like an hour and a half to go to an arcade if he had money

95
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,060
He would try and play these games

96
00:07:59,060 --> 00:08:05,800
But most of the time he didn't so he'd just like watch people play these games and just like just fell in love

97
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,060
Like he wanted anything to do with video games

98
00:08:10,060 --> 00:08:13,220
eventually he did get some money and

99
00:08:13,220 --> 00:08:20,620
A lot of his time was spent to play video games in the very first game that he played like two perfection

100
00:08:20,620 --> 00:08:23,300
Was Pac-Man. Oh

101
00:08:23,300 --> 00:08:25,700
Yeah, like he prepared his body

102
00:08:26,340 --> 00:08:32,060
Before going in because he knew that he'd be sitting there for like an hour and a half to make sure that he was like

103
00:08:32,060 --> 00:08:40,140
ready to go and he would play it without any mistakes and he just like kept going over and over and over again

104
00:08:40,140 --> 00:08:44,040
To the point where he went to Sega and just asked to be hired by them and they're like well

105
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,340
Do you have any programming experience? Like no, but I can better got the love of the game

106
00:08:47,340 --> 00:08:50,780
But I can play games and they hired him on as a

107
00:08:50,780 --> 00:08:53,380
Playtester. That's cool

108
00:08:53,380 --> 00:08:58,600
That's a fun job. Yeah, so he was a playtester for a little while and then it came to the point where he was

109
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,080
wanting to

110
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:09,860
Make his own game and he pitched it to there where he's like what if instead of when you're fighting instead of getting weaker as you go along

111
00:09:09,860 --> 00:09:13,380
It's stronger and then they're like that sounds a great idea

112
00:09:13,380 --> 00:09:15,380
We have no teams available to make this move

113
00:09:15,380 --> 00:09:17,700
They make this game for you

114
00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:20,420
So he just kept festering on it and just kept thinking about it

115
00:09:20,420 --> 00:09:25,780
That's why there's so much inspiration for it. So the cool thing that I found because I

116
00:09:25,780 --> 00:09:31,940
Watched a playthrough and was like this seems like a really fun game with a really cool story

117
00:09:31,940 --> 00:09:32,500
Mm-hmm

118
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:36,940
And he pulled a lot of inspiration from a lot of different places pulled it from the Howling Joe Dante's

119
00:09:36,940 --> 00:09:41,620
Howling the 1981 yeah Joe Dante and then from thriller Michael Jackson's thriller

120
00:09:41,620 --> 00:09:46,020
Mm-hmm where he turns into a bug-eyed monster so what screams

121
00:09:46,860 --> 00:09:52,780
1980s horror more than ancient Greece altered beast set an ancient Greece

122
00:09:52,780 --> 00:09:57,180
Like you said he wanted the characters to get stronger and when he thought about that

123
00:09:57,180 --> 00:10:00,300
He was like what's stronger than ancient Greece? What's sure sure sure?

124
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:03,900
But I find that really fascinating because send Churians

125
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:06,380
Hail from ancient Rome

126
00:10:06,380 --> 00:10:13,140
I mean the internet wasn't around at that time right totally fair again. I'm not mad at any of the story

127
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:20,700
He also pulled a lot of inspiration from Ray Harryhausen who was a British animator and stop motion creator

128
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:22,460
Yeah, Jason and the

129
00:10:22,460 --> 00:10:23,740
Argonauts

130
00:10:23,740 --> 00:10:26,460
Yeah 1963 Jason the Argonauts 1958

131
00:10:26,460 --> 00:10:30,220
7th voyage of Sinbad 1981 clash of Titans

132
00:10:30,220 --> 00:10:33,420
Mm-hmm well that was kind of a team inspiration so

133
00:10:33,420 --> 00:10:38,140
Originally with like the main character turning into a

134
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:45,500
Whatever beast it was the team who was inspired by the Ray Harryhausen movies

135
00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:48,540
So like they were the ones who like really put in the

136
00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:51,260
Ancient Rome part of it were

137
00:10:51,260 --> 00:10:59,980
Utita he put an emphasis on just making sure that these men could transform into a beast and making sure that that was correct

138
00:10:59,980 --> 00:11:05,260
He wanted it to be really flashy though and fun and very eye catching

139
00:11:05,580 --> 00:11:10,620
Also pulling in those horror themes sounds like he wanted a sense of like a jump scare to it

140
00:11:10,620 --> 00:11:12,700
He didn't love the original concept

141
00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:17,260
So then he wound up working with a sketch artist and the lead game designer quid and it's like what it yeah

142
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:18,060
I mean

143
00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:19,500
Which is going to happen

144
00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:21,500
But it worked out for the best

145
00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:27,580
I mean he quip because he was on it for like a full month of just doing it and for UGW to be like no

146
00:11:27,580 --> 00:11:30,700
And be like well you can figure it out yourself then

147
00:11:32,380 --> 00:11:37,580
But listen he had an idea in mind and hiring a sketch artist and getting it to work that way

148
00:11:37,580 --> 00:11:41,660
It's a very loved game now so I guess all the right decisions were made

149
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:46,860
Do you know what the term is for a man transforming into a beast

150
00:11:46,860 --> 00:11:49,420
Anamorph it's a Therian trope

151
00:11:49,420 --> 00:11:53,100
I thought it was anamorph like the book I read as a child sure

152
00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:56,140
Where the teenager goes into a cheetah

153
00:11:56,140 --> 00:11:58,220
I can't repeat what words you just said

154
00:11:58,220 --> 00:11:58,620
Sir

155
00:11:59,420 --> 00:12:01,420
No Therian Thrope

156
00:12:01,420 --> 00:12:02,700
Therian Thrope

157
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:07,740
Therian D H E R I A M T H R O P E

158
00:12:07,740 --> 00:12:08,940
Therian Thrope

159
00:12:08,940 --> 00:12:09,660
Therian Thrope

160
00:12:09,660 --> 00:12:10,220
Therop

161
00:12:10,220 --> 00:12:10,700
Therop

162
00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:10,700
Therop

163
00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:15,820
Okay so in the game you can punch, kick and jump

164
00:12:15,820 --> 00:12:20,380
But they had more plans for a pressure sensitive button

165
00:12:20,380 --> 00:12:23,820
They fell through I don't what is that I need what does that mean

166
00:12:23,820 --> 00:12:26,060
So what they were trying to do is

167
00:12:26,060 --> 00:12:31,500
Depending on how hard you push the button was how powerful your punch or kick was

168
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:34,300
Oh that is cool

169
00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:36,220
And they just couldn't figure out that technology

170
00:12:36,220 --> 00:12:37,420
Because deadlines

171
00:12:37,420 --> 00:12:40,620
Part of it was deadlines part of it was just the technology wasn't there

172
00:12:40,620 --> 00:12:45,820
In an order for you so they would have to like redesign a like arcade game itself

173
00:12:45,820 --> 00:12:48,700
Right where for most of these arcade games it's just

174
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:52,940
The hardware is all there and they just need to like slot in the game

175
00:12:52,940 --> 00:12:53,260
Right

176
00:12:53,260 --> 00:12:55,100
And then just go design the shelf

177
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:57,580
I'm sure someone made that button after the fact though

178
00:12:57,580 --> 00:13:00,940
They have it now the trigger buttons that we have on video games

179
00:13:00,940 --> 00:13:03,820
Like sometimes those have a pressure sensitive

180
00:13:03,820 --> 00:13:07,740
That's why I'm such a terrible I don't know I'm just I'm a button smasher

181
00:13:07,740 --> 00:13:10,860
I am I'll admit it I don't understand mechanics

182
00:13:10,860 --> 00:13:17,660
But because that button never got made at least in time for the game

183
00:13:17,660 --> 00:13:20,540
Each hit was like I think that's why players got bored

184
00:13:20,540 --> 00:13:20,860
Yeah

185
00:13:20,860 --> 00:13:23,660
But like he overall really liked how the game came out

186
00:13:23,660 --> 00:13:25,900
And people really liked the initial play

187
00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:29,900
Yeah did you get the quote he said when you like watched

188
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:33,420
So he said I was so thrilled when I saw not only the players

189
00:13:33,420 --> 00:13:36,460
But the people around the players uniformly surprised

190
00:13:36,460 --> 00:13:37,660
At the video arcade

191
00:13:37,660 --> 00:13:39,500
Hmm that's nice

192
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:41,740
So the plot is my favorite part

193
00:13:41,740 --> 00:13:44,140
And you get to rise from your grave

194
00:13:44,140 --> 00:13:46,140
Rise from your grave

195
00:13:46,140 --> 00:13:49,420
Kazooz resurrects you as a romance

196
00:13:49,420 --> 00:13:50,540
Wait Kazooz

197
00:13:50,540 --> 00:13:51,340
Zooz

198
00:13:51,340 --> 00:13:51,980
Zooz

199
00:13:51,980 --> 00:13:53,740
Kazooz

200
00:13:53,740 --> 00:13:54,540
Kazooz

201
00:13:54,540 --> 00:13:56,140
Oh I see what you said there

202
00:13:56,140 --> 00:13:57,500
Because Zeus

203
00:13:57,500 --> 00:13:57,980
Uh-huh

204
00:13:57,980 --> 00:13:59,180
But Kazooz

205
00:13:59,180 --> 00:13:59,980
Kazooz

206
00:13:59,980 --> 00:14:00,860
Zeus

207
00:14:00,860 --> 00:14:02,700
God of Greek mythology

208
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:03,580
John Goodman

209
00:14:03,580 --> 00:14:04,620
Yes

210
00:14:04,620 --> 00:14:06,780
I was gonna say what's his name from

211
00:14:06,780 --> 00:14:08,220
Ted Lasso

212
00:14:08,220 --> 00:14:09,340
Brett Goldstein

213
00:14:09,340 --> 00:14:10,060
Isn't he Zeus?

214
00:14:10,060 --> 00:14:10,940
Oh no he's not

215
00:14:10,940 --> 00:14:11,740
He's Hercules

216
00:14:11,740 --> 00:14:12,780
He's Hercules

217
00:14:12,780 --> 00:14:14,780
Zeus is gladiator

218
00:14:14,780 --> 00:14:16,380
He's in laymiz

219
00:14:16,380 --> 00:14:17,820
I yeah there you go

220
00:14:17,820 --> 00:14:20,620
And I'm Chopper

221
00:14:20,620 --> 00:14:24,940
Anyway Zeus resurrects you the player as a roman centurion

222
00:14:24,940 --> 00:14:26,780
To save his daughter Athena

223
00:14:26,780 --> 00:14:29,580
Who has been captured by the ruler of the underworld?

224
00:14:29,580 --> 00:14:30,060
Neff

225
00:14:30,060 --> 00:14:30,780
Hmm

226
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:32,060
Athena is a damsel

227
00:14:32,060 --> 00:14:33,340
She is in big time distress

228
00:14:33,340 --> 00:14:34,940
So you have to play through five levels

229
00:14:34,940 --> 00:14:37,500
And you'll come face to face with undead creatures

230
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:39,340
Lusely based on Greek mythology

231
00:14:39,340 --> 00:14:40,060
I love it

232
00:14:40,060 --> 00:14:40,380
Yeah

233
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:42,060
I actually am super here for this game

234
00:14:42,060 --> 00:14:42,460
Yeah

235
00:14:42,460 --> 00:14:43,420
We're watching her right now

236
00:14:43,420 --> 00:14:43,820
Yeah

237
00:14:43,820 --> 00:14:45,100
Really excited to play

238
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:46,140
Okay so level one

239
00:14:46,140 --> 00:14:47,900
You play in a graveyard as a werewolf

240
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:48,860
Makes total sense

241
00:14:48,860 --> 00:14:49,260
Yard

242
00:14:49,260 --> 00:14:50,620
*laughs*

243
00:14:50,620 --> 00:14:53,260
Level two you play in a cave as a dragon

244
00:14:53,260 --> 00:14:54,460
Still sort of makes sense

245
00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:55,340
Level three

246
00:14:55,340 --> 00:14:57,260
You're in an underground cavern

247
00:14:57,260 --> 00:14:58,860
Which is not just a cave

248
00:14:58,860 --> 00:15:00,060
But with skulls

249
00:15:00,060 --> 00:15:01,180
As a werebear

250
00:15:01,180 --> 00:15:01,900
Yeah

251
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:02,540
Yeah

252
00:15:02,540 --> 00:15:05,900
And then four were in the netherworld

253
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:07,820
I guess we're going deeper underground

254
00:15:07,820 --> 00:15:09,420
This is Dante's inferno

255
00:15:09,420 --> 00:15:10,460
We just couldn't even

256
00:15:10,460 --> 00:15:11,580
Oh shit it is

257
00:15:11,580 --> 00:15:12,460
All of the levels

258
00:15:12,460 --> 00:15:15,820
There's only so much memory you can put on those games

259
00:15:15,820 --> 00:15:18,380
I was surprised that it was only five levels

260
00:15:18,380 --> 00:15:20,140
Okay so now we're in the netherworld fortress

261
00:15:20,140 --> 00:15:21,100
As a were tiger

262
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:22,380
*laughs*

263
00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:23,500
And then level five

264
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:24,700
Here in the netherworld

265
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:25,500
Sanctum

266
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:27,740
As a goldware wolf

267
00:15:27,740 --> 00:15:28,780
I love it

268
00:15:28,780 --> 00:15:29,180
Yeah

269
00:15:29,180 --> 00:15:30,780
In the original arcade game

270
00:15:30,780 --> 00:15:31,660
In the credits

271
00:15:31,660 --> 00:15:32,460
Did you see this?

272
00:15:32,460 --> 00:15:34,060
There was like this revelation

273
00:15:34,060 --> 00:15:36,380
That the whole game is actually just a film production

274
00:15:36,380 --> 00:15:37,180
It's just a play

275
00:15:37,180 --> 00:15:39,100
And they like have beers and have fun

276
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:42,540
How of all of the video game movies

277
00:15:42,540 --> 00:15:44,060
Like films that we've gotten

278
00:15:44,060 --> 00:15:47,260
How has no one made an altered beast film

279
00:15:47,260 --> 00:15:49,980
Because like I really like the breaking of it

280
00:15:49,980 --> 00:15:50,780
And being like that

281
00:15:50,780 --> 00:15:51,740
So I'll just to set

282
00:15:51,740 --> 00:15:54,780
We are in a werewolf renaissance right now

283
00:15:54,780 --> 00:15:56,220
That's also what I'm saying

284
00:15:56,220 --> 00:15:56,620
Yeah

285
00:15:56,620 --> 00:15:57,980
Robert Adgers

286
00:15:57,980 --> 00:15:58,940
Scrap

287
00:15:58,940 --> 00:16:00,220
All of your ideas

288
00:16:00,220 --> 00:16:01,340
No no, not for our tutu

289
00:16:01,340 --> 00:16:02,220
We are wolf

290
00:16:02,220 --> 00:16:04,540
Or however he spelled it

291
00:16:04,540 --> 00:16:05,660
How did he spell it?

292
00:16:05,660 --> 00:16:07,100
Oh I don't know

293
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:08,220
No werewolf

294
00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:09,500
W-E-R

295
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:11,100
W-E-L

296
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:13,500
Wherewolf

297
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:14,220
Werewolf

298
00:16:14,220 --> 00:16:15,420
Oh is this is next

299
00:16:15,420 --> 00:16:17,580
Well we are in like a werewolf renaissance

300
00:16:17,580 --> 00:16:18,780
Yes we are

301
00:16:18,780 --> 00:16:20,060
This is brand new

302
00:16:20,060 --> 00:16:21,740
Breaking information to me

303
00:16:21,740 --> 00:16:26,540
Robert Adgers is basically doing his own monster universe

304
00:16:26,540 --> 00:16:28,220
I'm not mad

305
00:16:28,220 --> 00:16:31,180
You have so much already designed for you

306
00:16:31,180 --> 00:16:32,380
So many more creatures

307
00:16:32,380 --> 00:16:35,340
Like why limit ourselves to just the wolf

308
00:16:35,340 --> 00:16:37,180
We're tiger amazing

309
00:16:37,180 --> 00:16:40,060
We've only seen a were tiger in Tekken 3

310
00:16:40,060 --> 00:16:40,860
Like

311
00:16:40,860 --> 00:16:43,820
Why not just keep going with it

312
00:16:43,820 --> 00:16:45,900
My brain is exploding

313
00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:49,100
Because you know they recreated Ultra Beast in 2005

314
00:16:49,100 --> 00:16:51,180
I do for the PlayStation 2

315
00:16:51,180 --> 00:16:53,100
We throw out ancient grease

316
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:55,340
We lose Athena and the Centurion

317
00:16:55,340 --> 00:16:56,860
Well do you know how that came to be?

318
00:16:56,860 --> 00:16:57,660
No

319
00:16:57,660 --> 00:16:58,620
So it was

320
00:16:58,620 --> 00:17:02,380
Makado Uchida

321
00:17:02,380 --> 00:17:05,820
He rose in the ranks when he worked at Sega

322
00:17:05,820 --> 00:17:07,580
Yeah I mean I can see why

323
00:17:07,580 --> 00:17:10,300
He went from game tester developer

324
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:12,060
And he just like kept going

325
00:17:12,060 --> 00:17:13,740
He started in Japan

326
00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:15,500
And in 95

327
00:17:15,500 --> 00:17:17,580
Switched over to Sega for America

328
00:17:17,580 --> 00:17:21,420
And then he helped found the Chinese branch

329
00:17:21,420 --> 00:17:23,420
So there is Sega of China

330
00:17:23,420 --> 00:17:25,420
That he is now the CEO of

331
00:17:25,420 --> 00:17:29,420
And when the first games that he put out

332
00:17:29,420 --> 00:17:32,940
Was a new Ultra Beast for the PlayStation 2

333
00:17:32,940 --> 00:17:34,140
But going back to his word

334
00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:36,380
Is Sega made the PlayStation 2?

335
00:17:36,380 --> 00:17:37,980
Sega did not make the PlayStation 2

336
00:17:37,980 --> 00:17:38,860
Sega

337
00:17:38,860 --> 00:17:41,820
They are now just a software

338
00:17:41,820 --> 00:17:43,580
Or just like a game development company

339
00:17:43,580 --> 00:17:44,460
Good for him

340
00:17:44,460 --> 00:17:46,620
I'm just thinking about that kid

341
00:17:46,620 --> 00:17:48,140
That couldn't afford to play

342
00:17:48,140 --> 00:17:50,300
Now being like a CEO

343
00:17:50,300 --> 00:17:52,060
And being like you know my game

344
00:17:52,060 --> 00:17:53,020
Bringing it back

345
00:17:53,020 --> 00:17:53,580
Yes

346
00:17:53,580 --> 00:17:55,340
Okay but I wanted them to bring it back

347
00:17:55,340 --> 00:17:57,740
I like the storyline of the original

348
00:17:57,740 --> 00:17:59,900
Especially because when you think about Pac-Man

349
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:01,180
And arcade games

350
00:18:01,180 --> 00:18:03,500
I think of very basic

351
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:05,100
Not in depth storyline

352
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:06,940
And Ultra Beast sort of does have one

353
00:18:06,940 --> 00:18:07,820
But we lose it all

354
00:18:07,820 --> 00:18:09,340
We lose the ancient craze we lose Athena

355
00:18:09,340 --> 00:18:10,140
We lose the Centurion

356
00:18:10,140 --> 00:18:13,020
But we keep the idea of Anamorphs

357
00:18:13,020 --> 00:18:14,460
Yeah because like I said

358
00:18:14,460 --> 00:18:17,900
The Ray Harryhausen influence was really the team

359
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:20,460
And ironically it was the same team

360
00:18:20,460 --> 00:18:22,060
Who came back to help make the game

361
00:18:22,060 --> 00:18:23,260
To make the 2005 version

362
00:18:23,260 --> 00:18:26,860
His soul focus was character grow stronger

363
00:18:26,860 --> 00:18:28,140
Character turns into a beast

364
00:18:28,140 --> 00:18:30,940
Like that was his the main thing that he wanted

365
00:18:30,940 --> 00:18:32,860
Yeah but now we have to modernize it

366
00:18:32,860 --> 00:18:34,220
With Luke Custer

367
00:18:34,220 --> 00:18:38,140
Who was in a helicopter crash

368
00:18:38,140 --> 00:18:39,260
Has no memory

369
00:18:39,260 --> 00:18:40,060
Oh yeah

370
00:18:40,060 --> 00:18:40,460
Yeah

371
00:18:40,460 --> 00:18:43,180
And can turn into a werewolf at first

372
00:18:43,180 --> 00:18:44,780
The reason he can turn into a werewolf

373
00:18:44,780 --> 00:18:47,500
Is that he's a genome cyborg

374
00:18:47,500 --> 00:18:48,140
Yeah

375
00:18:48,140 --> 00:18:48,860
You know

376
00:18:48,860 --> 00:18:52,060
With an artificially altered microchip

377
00:18:52,060 --> 00:18:54,140
That's the chip that turns him into a werewolf

378
00:18:54,140 --> 00:18:56,060
This seems scientifically plausible

379
00:18:56,060 --> 00:18:56,700
No notes

380
00:18:56,700 --> 00:18:59,420
As you play through the game

381
00:18:59,420 --> 00:19:01,740
You collect more microchips

382
00:19:01,740 --> 00:19:03,180
You just kind of eat them and just

383
00:19:03,180 --> 00:19:07,980
Do you know what like we lost were bears

384
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:09,660
And you know what we got instead

385
00:19:09,660 --> 00:19:10,860
A m-man

386
00:19:10,860 --> 00:19:12,220
And then a Geruda

387
00:19:12,220 --> 00:19:13,660
Which I'm sure I'm saying incorrectly

388
00:19:13,660 --> 00:19:14,940
Which is a Hindu deity

389
00:19:14,940 --> 00:19:16,620
It's like an eagle-like sunbird

390
00:19:16,620 --> 00:19:17,660
A when to go

391
00:19:17,660 --> 00:19:18,540
A Minotaur

392
00:19:18,540 --> 00:19:19,260
And a dragon

393
00:19:19,260 --> 00:19:21,660
We lost all our were creatures

394
00:19:21,660 --> 00:19:23,020
So that game

395
00:19:23,020 --> 00:19:24,540
The 2005 version

396
00:19:24,540 --> 00:19:25,740
Video gamer said

397
00:19:25,740 --> 00:19:28,380
The name will probably attract a number of fans

398
00:19:28,380 --> 00:19:30,140
Of the original game

399
00:19:30,140 --> 00:19:32,460
They may get the most out of what is an average title

400
00:19:32,460 --> 00:19:35,500
For those who do not base their purchase on nostalgia

401
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:37,020
Look elsewhere

402
00:19:37,020 --> 00:19:37,260
Yeah

403
00:19:37,260 --> 00:19:39,180
Cause there's no were bears

404
00:19:39,180 --> 00:19:39,740
Yeah

405
00:19:39,740 --> 00:19:41,740
Well here's another reason why

406
00:19:41,740 --> 00:19:42,700
Where bears

407
00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:45,180
Why this became a forgettable game

408
00:19:45,180 --> 00:19:46,460
The 2005 or the

409
00:19:46,460 --> 00:19:47,260
Just in general

410
00:19:47,260 --> 00:19:47,420
Okay

411
00:19:47,420 --> 00:19:49,420
Ultra Beast had originally come out

412
00:19:49,420 --> 00:19:51,980
And it was bundled with sygidinsus

413
00:19:51,980 --> 00:19:55,660
And it was only bundled with it for like the first two years

414
00:19:55,660 --> 00:19:58,220
Do you know why it got replaced by Sonic?

415
00:19:58,220 --> 00:19:58,700
I do not

416
00:19:58,700 --> 00:19:59,180
Let's hear

417
00:19:59,180 --> 00:20:00,540
Cause it wasn't family friendly

418
00:20:00,540 --> 00:20:03,500
They were worried about the like undead

419
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:06,620
And the magic elements not doing well here

420
00:20:06,620 --> 00:20:07,900
Specifically the Bible will

421
00:20:07,900 --> 00:20:08,860
Like we did

422
00:20:08,860 --> 00:20:09,500
Yeah

423
00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:10,460
And

424
00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:12,540
No magic for you just a talking hedgehog

425
00:20:12,540 --> 00:20:13,340
Yeah

426
00:20:13,340 --> 00:20:14,540
And also on top of that

427
00:20:14,540 --> 00:20:18,780
The way that sygidinacis was initially marketed

428
00:20:18,780 --> 00:20:20,060
Was to be like

429
00:20:20,060 --> 00:20:21,820
We are like the true video games

430
00:20:21,820 --> 00:20:22,780
So there was one of like

431
00:20:22,780 --> 00:20:25,100
You must have these to play the syga

432
00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:27,180
And it's like these two steel balls

433
00:20:27,180 --> 00:20:28,460
Like in

434
00:20:28,460 --> 00:20:29,580
In their advertising

435
00:20:29,580 --> 00:20:32,540
So like they really like machoed it up

436
00:20:32,540 --> 00:20:34,140
That makes sense for that to happen

437
00:20:34,140 --> 00:20:37,420
And when they see that Nintendo is just outselling them

438
00:20:37,420 --> 00:20:40,460
And they just have like a little plumber guy who's just like so happy

439
00:20:40,460 --> 00:20:41,900
It's much more family fun

440
00:20:41,900 --> 00:20:43,260
And it's like we got it we got it

441
00:20:43,260 --> 00:20:44,300
We got it

442
00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:45,100
Family

443
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:46,060
Remedy

444
00:20:46,060 --> 00:20:46,460
Yeah

445
00:20:46,460 --> 00:20:47,660
For the children

446
00:20:47,660 --> 00:20:49,020
So it got like switched out

447
00:20:49,020 --> 00:20:51,260
And there's like kind of this this heartbreaking

448
00:20:51,260 --> 00:20:53,020
Cloth that I got from Uchida where he said

449
00:20:53,020 --> 00:20:55,100
When I heard that Altered Beast would be bundled

450
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:58,220
With all these sygidinacis packages in North America

451
00:20:58,220 --> 00:20:59,420
I had no idea what to expect

452
00:20:59,420 --> 00:21:01,340
It was only bundled in North America

453
00:21:01,340 --> 00:21:03,500
I was working in Japan

454
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:05,100
And I heard it was there

455
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:05,820
I said

456
00:21:05,820 --> 00:21:06,860
That's terrific

457
00:21:06,860 --> 00:21:07,820
I can't wait to see it

458
00:21:07,820 --> 00:21:09,820
But we never saw the bundle in Japan

459
00:21:09,820 --> 00:21:11,900
I had to go to the US about three years later

460
00:21:11,900 --> 00:21:13,340
And I heard about it

461
00:21:13,340 --> 00:21:14,140
So I said

462
00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:16,700
This time I'll definitely go to a store

463
00:21:16,700 --> 00:21:18,380
But I couldn't find it anywhere

464
00:21:18,380 --> 00:21:20,140
There was nothing but Sonic the Hedgehog

465
00:21:20,140 --> 00:21:21,740
Bundle available

466
00:21:21,740 --> 00:21:23,180
So I was never able to see it

467
00:21:23,180 --> 00:21:25,180
It's my only regret about the game

468
00:21:25,180 --> 00:21:26,540
It's really sad

469
00:21:26,540 --> 00:21:26,940
Yeah

470
00:21:26,940 --> 00:21:30,540
Because the 2005 game also never made it here

471
00:21:30,540 --> 00:21:30,940
Nope

472
00:21:30,940 --> 00:21:33,980
It was only available in the UK and Japan

473
00:21:33,980 --> 00:21:34,460
Yeah

474
00:21:34,460 --> 00:21:36,780
That's another reason why it was forgettable for us

475
00:21:36,780 --> 00:21:38,380
us being in the States

476
00:21:38,380 --> 00:21:40,060
We had no idea that this game came out

477
00:21:40,060 --> 00:21:40,860
Mm-hmm

478
00:21:40,860 --> 00:21:42,220
If you went to an arcade

479
00:21:42,220 --> 00:21:43,740
It was still in arcades

480
00:21:43,740 --> 00:21:45,580
Which is how it sort of

481
00:21:45,580 --> 00:21:46,780
kept its relevance

482
00:21:46,780 --> 00:21:47,500
Yeah

483
00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:48,700
Now they tried to

484
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:50,620
And a lot of the reason why a lot of these games

485
00:21:50,620 --> 00:21:52,700
Do have relevance where I people remember them

486
00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:54,300
Is because there are sequels that come out

487
00:21:54,300 --> 00:21:56,060
Sometimes they're sort of packaging

488
00:21:56,060 --> 00:21:58,140
They tried their best

489
00:21:58,140 --> 00:21:59,260
To like

490
00:21:59,260 --> 00:22:00,220
Spread

491
00:22:00,220 --> 00:22:01,980
This game on many different platforms

492
00:22:01,980 --> 00:22:04,700
There was a lot of different platforms that it went on to

493
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:08,700
So they also made it for the Mega Drive

494
00:22:08,700 --> 00:22:09,740
Hey there listeners

495
00:22:09,740 --> 00:22:11,020
Editor Dan here

496
00:22:11,020 --> 00:22:12,220
I meant to say

497
00:22:12,220 --> 00:22:13,580
Master System

498
00:22:13,580 --> 00:22:14,780
Not Mega Drive

499
00:22:14,780 --> 00:22:19,420
I realized Mega Drive was the UK version of the Sega Genesis

500
00:22:19,420 --> 00:22:22,140
Master System is what I meant to say

501
00:22:22,140 --> 00:22:23,020
I'm so sorry

502
00:22:23,020 --> 00:22:23,500
I'm sorry

503
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:24,060
I'm sorry

504
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,860
Stop yelling at your pod catcher

505
00:22:26,860 --> 00:22:31,340
The Mega Drive was the console that was before the Sega Genesis

506
00:22:31,340 --> 00:22:35,980
And the Mega Drive was an 8-bit system

507
00:22:35,980 --> 00:22:36,460
Got it

508
00:22:36,460 --> 00:22:37,980
Genesis is a 16-bit

509
00:22:37,980 --> 00:22:40,940
So they had to extremely downgrade it

510
00:22:40,940 --> 00:22:43,980
Yeah and with all of the settings and the character

511
00:22:43,980 --> 00:22:45,900
Like a lot happens in Altered Beast

512
00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:48,620
I feel like sort of making that downgrade a little

513
00:22:48,620 --> 00:22:50,460
Doesn't play as well

514
00:22:50,460 --> 00:22:51,180
It did not

515
00:22:51,180 --> 00:22:52,940
And the gameplay was also slower

516
00:22:52,940 --> 00:22:54,620
Just because it was just so much going on

517
00:22:54,620 --> 00:22:55,660
That breaks my brain

518
00:22:55,660 --> 00:22:57,260
Because I'm like you would think that 8-bit

519
00:22:57,260 --> 00:22:59,500
Would be faster

520
00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:00,540
But I guess

521
00:23:00,540 --> 00:23:04,300
You are trying to put the graphics to its maximum

522
00:23:04,300 --> 00:23:04,780
Yeah

523
00:23:04,780 --> 00:23:06,140
So much for it that's taking there

524
00:23:06,140 --> 00:23:07,820
They did make it for the PC

525
00:23:07,820 --> 00:23:10,060
There was a PC CD-ROM game

526
00:23:10,060 --> 00:23:12,700
That also came with like an added animation

527
00:23:12,700 --> 00:23:13,500
Oh

528
00:23:13,500 --> 00:23:17,660
Yeah it was kind of a weird animation that had like this white face

529
00:23:17,660 --> 00:23:20,220
That kind of looked like the drama face

530
00:23:20,220 --> 00:23:22,300
That is the playthrough version that I saw

531
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:23,020
Yep

532
00:23:23,020 --> 00:23:24,060
So that's probably why

533
00:23:24,060 --> 00:23:26,060
Because it was probably easiest to

534
00:23:26,060 --> 00:23:26,940
Yeah

535
00:23:26,940 --> 00:23:28,140
To record that

536
00:23:28,140 --> 00:23:31,980
There was the version that they made for the Famicom

537
00:23:31,980 --> 00:23:33,420
Excuse me? What is that?

538
00:23:33,420 --> 00:23:34,940
The Family Computer

539
00:23:34,940 --> 00:23:37,180
So this is before the NES

540
00:23:37,180 --> 00:23:40,620
You're saying a lot of words that are going right over my head

541
00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:45,180
So there was the Nintendo Entertainment System the NES

542
00:23:45,180 --> 00:23:47,340
Ah now I'm on board

543
00:23:47,340 --> 00:23:49,980
Before it was known as the NES

544
00:23:49,980 --> 00:23:52,140
It was known as the Famicom

545
00:23:52,140 --> 00:23:54,540
And it was only available in Japan

546
00:23:54,540 --> 00:23:55,020
Got it

547
00:23:55,020 --> 00:23:55,420
Yeah

548
00:23:55,420 --> 00:23:56,460
So the

549
00:23:56,460 --> 00:23:58,060
Well I think they

550
00:23:58,140 --> 00:23:59,340
No I think I'm wrong about that

551
00:23:59,340 --> 00:24:02,140
I think they brought it over to the US

552
00:24:02,140 --> 00:24:03,180
It wasn't doing well

553
00:24:03,180 --> 00:24:04,060
They renamed it

554
00:24:04,060 --> 00:24:05,260
And then it did well after that

555
00:24:05,260 --> 00:24:05,660
But yeah

556
00:24:05,660 --> 00:24:07,340
They made it available for the Famicom

557
00:24:07,340 --> 00:24:10,780
But that was also like a downgrade from like the system bit to an 8 bit

558
00:24:10,780 --> 00:24:14,860
There was another version for the Amstad

559
00:24:14,860 --> 00:24:16,220
Which is another type of PC

560
00:24:16,220 --> 00:24:18,060
What?

561
00:24:18,060 --> 00:24:22,540
Is this pre us growing up or was this all happening while we were growing up?

562
00:24:22,540 --> 00:24:25,660
I mean I guess we were growing up but we were like 80-bitty

563
00:24:25,660 --> 00:24:26,060
Right

564
00:24:26,060 --> 00:24:27,980
Just a few other areas that it was available

565
00:24:27,980 --> 00:24:29,340
It was available for the Atari

566
00:24:29,340 --> 00:24:30,700
The Commodore 64

567
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:32,220
The ZX Spectrum

568
00:24:32,220 --> 00:24:33,900
And the MSX

569
00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:36,300
Which I don't expect you to know any of it

570
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:37,420
I know Atari

571
00:24:37,420 --> 00:24:40,060
I actually think I've heard of Commodore 64 too

572
00:24:40,060 --> 00:24:41,020
But the other two

573
00:24:41,020 --> 00:24:42,220
Yeah

574
00:24:42,220 --> 00:24:44,140
So they made it all available for that

575
00:24:44,140 --> 00:24:45,660
And then you've probably

576
00:24:45,660 --> 00:24:48,620
I don't know if you've ever had a Tiger game before

577
00:24:48,620 --> 00:24:50,540
It's a handheld game

578
00:24:50,540 --> 00:24:54,220
But they can only program it to only play one game

579
00:24:54,220 --> 00:24:57,660
And they made an Ultra-Beast Tiger game version of that

580
00:24:57,660 --> 00:24:58,220
What?

581
00:24:58,220 --> 00:24:59,980
Tiger games remind me of hit clips

582
00:24:59,980 --> 00:25:03,260
Oh I did have a Tiger game

583
00:25:03,260 --> 00:25:03,820
Yeah see

584
00:25:03,820 --> 00:25:03,980
Yeah

585
00:25:03,980 --> 00:25:05,340
I bet you can guess which one I am

586
00:25:05,340 --> 00:25:06,700
Was it a Disney Princess?

587
00:25:06,700 --> 00:25:07,260
It was

588
00:25:07,260 --> 00:25:08,700
Was it for the little more made-

589
00:25:08,700 --> 00:25:09,180
It was

590
00:25:09,180 --> 00:25:13,340
Oh I forgot about these

591
00:25:13,340 --> 00:25:15,580
Guess what you're getting for Christmas

592
00:25:15,580 --> 00:25:18,060
So they really tried to make this game like widely available

593
00:25:18,060 --> 00:25:19,100
On like different platforms

594
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:21,420
Just like get people to know about it

595
00:25:21,420 --> 00:25:23,820
And there are some hardcore fans

596
00:25:23,820 --> 00:25:25,740
That are out there that really love this game

597
00:25:25,740 --> 00:25:27,900
In fact there is a musician out there

598
00:25:27,900 --> 00:25:29,980
His name is Matthew Sweet

599
00:25:29,980 --> 00:25:30,620
Okay

600
00:25:30,620 --> 00:25:31,580
Much bigger in the UK

601
00:25:31,580 --> 00:25:33,180
He's the Robbie Williams

602
00:25:33,180 --> 00:25:34,060
Oscar Smith

603
00:25:34,060 --> 00:25:37,020
I don't know

604
00:25:37,020 --> 00:25:39,020
Matthew Sweet he loved this game

605
00:25:39,020 --> 00:25:41,500
So much that he had the arcade

606
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:42,380
He pulled the Chandler

607
00:25:42,380 --> 00:25:43,020
Machine

608
00:25:43,020 --> 00:25:43,740
Yeah

609
00:25:43,740 --> 00:25:45,020
In his house

610
00:25:45,020 --> 00:25:47,180
Like he owned one of those arcade machines

611
00:25:47,180 --> 00:25:50,620
And he named one of his albums

612
00:25:50,620 --> 00:25:51,500
After the game

613
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:52,620
Like he named his album

614
00:25:52,620 --> 00:25:53,420
Altered Beast

615
00:25:53,420 --> 00:25:55,660
What?

616
00:25:55,660 --> 00:25:56,220
Yeah

617
00:25:56,220 --> 00:25:58,780
Although I think the album cover is like a dinosaur

618
00:25:58,780 --> 00:25:59,580
So

619
00:25:59,580 --> 00:26:01,020
I mean Altered what's his name?

620
00:26:01,020 --> 00:26:01,660
Matthew Sweet

621
00:26:01,660 --> 00:26:03,420
Oh it is

622
00:26:03,420 --> 00:26:05,020
It's two dinosaur

623
00:26:05,020 --> 00:26:06,140
Interesting

624
00:26:06,140 --> 00:26:08,140
Before the 2005 version

625
00:26:08,140 --> 00:26:11,820
There was a kind of an unofficial sequel

626
00:26:11,820 --> 00:26:13,180
Two Altered Beasts

627
00:26:13,180 --> 00:26:15,180
That was called Altered Beasts

628
00:26:15,180 --> 00:26:16,140
Gardening of the Realms

629
00:26:16,140 --> 00:26:17,100
Great title

630
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:18,700
Much better than Altered Beasts

631
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:21,340
This was made for the Game Boy Advance

632
00:26:21,340 --> 00:26:22,700
Is that the hand-pulled thing?

633
00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:23,100
Yes

634
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:27,020
I was not allowed to play video games

635
00:26:27,020 --> 00:26:28,140
This was not my choice

636
00:26:28,140 --> 00:26:31,660
I sound like I lived in the woods growing up

637
00:26:31,660 --> 00:26:33,980
You were an Amish girl

638
00:26:33,980 --> 00:26:35,180
Just churning butter

639
00:26:35,180 --> 00:26:36,380
Michigan's closer to us

640
00:26:36,380 --> 00:26:39,660
This came about because the company

641
00:26:39,660 --> 00:26:42,620
THQ they obtained the rights to Altered Beasts

642
00:26:42,620 --> 00:26:43,820
It's so many names

643
00:26:43,820 --> 00:26:48,140
And they tasked the development company

644
00:26:48,860 --> 00:26:51,580
3d6 games to make the game

645
00:26:51,580 --> 00:26:52,860
And this is without

646
00:26:52,860 --> 00:26:53,500
Macato?

647
00:26:53,500 --> 00:26:55,500
Yeah this is without Uchitas

648
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:56,140
Input?

649
00:26:56,140 --> 00:26:57,900
Yeah with those input he wasn't really part of it

650
00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:01,100
So a lot of it the development for this game was

651
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:03,180
Just trying to mimic

652
00:27:03,180 --> 00:27:04,860
what the game used to be

653
00:27:04,860 --> 00:27:06,540
And just kind of like expanding on that

654
00:27:06,540 --> 00:27:08,380
So they made levels for it

655
00:27:08,380 --> 00:27:10,140
They introduced different beasts to it

656
00:27:10,140 --> 00:27:11,820
But like it was very similar

657
00:27:11,820 --> 00:27:13,900
Although the gameplay was just kind of

658
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:14,540
Lacking

659
00:27:14,540 --> 00:27:18,140
It still like blows my mind that it's only five levels

660
00:27:18,140 --> 00:27:20,300
In my head pack man is like a hundred

661
00:27:20,300 --> 00:27:22,540
I mean that's a lot easier to make

662
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:25,260
Because you're basically a similar course the whole time

663
00:27:25,260 --> 00:27:27,020
This is a very dense story

664
00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:29,900
To keep making more and more levels of

665
00:27:29,900 --> 00:27:31,900
Five seemed so small to me

666
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:42,140
There is something that is there

667
00:27:42,140 --> 00:27:45,900
That I've really believe that you can make something great out of

668
00:27:45,900 --> 00:27:49,420
Oh a hundred percent I am on board for the movie

669
00:27:49,420 --> 00:27:51,180
The new reboot of the game

670
00:27:51,180 --> 00:27:52,140
Josh Holloway

671
00:27:52,140 --> 00:27:53,580
He's a centrient

672
00:27:53,580 --> 00:27:55,740
The final thing that I just want to say about this is like

673
00:27:55,740 --> 00:27:56,940
I want to play

674
00:27:56,940 --> 00:28:00,060
It is not the best game that is out there

675
00:28:00,060 --> 00:28:03,340
But it does have its place in video game history

676
00:28:03,340 --> 00:28:04,700
Turning butter girl things

677
00:28:04,700 --> 00:28:05,820
It sounds pretty great

678
00:28:05,820 --> 00:28:10,380
And for many of the early adopters of the Sega Genesis

679
00:28:10,380 --> 00:28:13,100
This game has a lot in nostalgia

680
00:28:13,100 --> 00:28:16,460
The images of a man turning into a different beast

681
00:28:16,460 --> 00:28:18,380
That's pretty hard to forget

682
00:28:18,380 --> 00:28:20,220
There's also just the sayings

683
00:28:20,220 --> 00:28:22,940
Like I know that there's like the rise from your grave

684
00:28:22,940 --> 00:28:24,300
But there's something else

685
00:28:24,300 --> 00:28:26,700
Welcome to your doom

686
00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:28,700
But this is all to say that

687
00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:31,980
We needed altered beast to learn how to walk

688
00:28:31,980 --> 00:28:34,460
So that Sonic the Hedgehog could run

689
00:28:34,460 --> 00:28:37,420
I'm gonna make a lot of people angry

690
00:28:37,420 --> 00:28:41,340
I am more invested in altered beast than I am in Sonic

691
00:28:41,340 --> 00:28:43,180
But the lore of Sonic

692
00:28:43,180 --> 00:28:45,660
The lore I don't get me wrong

693
00:28:45,660 --> 00:28:48,860
I love the whole fighter jets and the jacket

694
00:28:48,860 --> 00:28:50,220
I love the lore of Sonic

695
00:28:50,220 --> 00:28:52,620
I think they're doing a great job with the films

696
00:28:52,620 --> 00:28:55,260
I'm even down to watch Jim Carrey dance

697
00:28:55,260 --> 00:28:58,140
But there is something about altered beast

698
00:28:58,140 --> 00:28:59,980
That I am now like you are the underdog

699
00:28:59,980 --> 00:29:02,460
And I am rooting for your re-comubments

700
00:29:02,460 --> 00:29:05,740
All because you said forgotten

701
00:29:05,740 --> 00:29:07,340
And we posted it on the internet

702
00:29:07,340 --> 00:29:09,820
I'm really glad that this happened

703
00:29:09,820 --> 00:29:10,060
Yeah

704
00:29:10,060 --> 00:29:13,580
Like this was a part of the zeitgeist that I just never knew

705
00:29:13,580 --> 00:29:14,780
And now I wanna play

706
00:29:14,780 --> 00:29:15,740
We're gonna play

707
00:29:15,740 --> 00:29:17,100
But first ads

708
00:29:17,100 --> 00:29:27,100
Sega

709
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:29,340
Sega

710
00:29:29,340 --> 00:29:30,540
So I hit enter

711
00:29:30,540 --> 00:29:33,260
Now your playing

712
00:29:33,260 --> 00:29:35,260
I command you to rise from your grave

713
00:29:35,260 --> 00:29:37,820
Yep, and that's where that sound cue comes in

714
00:29:37,820 --> 00:29:40,380
Which for some reason we are not able to hear but

715
00:29:40,380 --> 00:29:42,940
Oh it's actually probably going through the monitor

716
00:29:42,940 --> 00:29:43,340
There you go

717
00:29:43,340 --> 00:29:45,420
Just kicked the zombies in the walls

718
00:29:45,420 --> 00:29:47,820
Huh?

719
00:29:47,820 --> 00:29:48,540
Oh

720
00:29:48,540 --> 00:29:50,700
Oh, oh no did I die?

721
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:51,580
Nope, nope

722
00:29:51,580 --> 00:29:53,020
You just got knocked down a peg

723
00:29:53,020 --> 00:29:53,740
Okay

724
00:29:53,740 --> 00:29:54,700
This is how I'm like

725
00:29:54,700 --> 00:29:56,220
Bacha

726
00:29:56,220 --> 00:29:56,860
Bacha

727
00:29:56,860 --> 00:29:58,700
Now there is that pre-head of duck that is behind you

728
00:29:58,700 --> 00:30:00,700
That you'll eventually have to take care of

729
00:30:00,700 --> 00:30:01,420
Really?

730
00:30:01,420 --> 00:30:01,820
Yeah

731
00:30:01,820 --> 00:30:03,900
It's gonna come back and like nippy in the heels

732
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:04,300
Okay

733
00:30:04,300 --> 00:30:05,980
Oh

734
00:30:05,980 --> 00:30:07,580
Where's the kick?

735
00:30:08,540 --> 00:30:09,020
Bunch

736
00:30:09,020 --> 00:30:09,580
Bunch

737
00:30:09,580 --> 00:30:12,540
What's A-new?

738
00:30:12,540 --> 00:30:13,260
A is punch

739
00:30:13,260 --> 00:30:14,780
A is E

740
00:30:14,780 --> 00:30:15,180
Okay

741
00:30:15,180 --> 00:30:17,260
Should be

742
00:30:17,260 --> 00:30:18,300
Buttons matchbox A

743
00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:21,260
Come here, come here, come here, come here

744
00:30:21,260 --> 00:30:21,980
Come here

745
00:30:21,980 --> 00:30:22,540
Yeah

746
00:30:22,540 --> 00:30:22,780
Oh

747
00:30:22,780 --> 00:30:23,740
You wanna get that power up

748
00:30:23,740 --> 00:30:24,380
Come here, come here

749
00:30:24,380 --> 00:30:24,780
Yeah

750
00:30:24,780 --> 00:30:29,260
Wee

751
00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:31,180
Oh, I got too confident

752
00:30:31,180 --> 00:30:32,380
Uh oh

753
00:30:32,380 --> 00:30:33,020
Oh, no

754
00:30:33,020 --> 00:30:35,820
Kicking is fun

755
00:30:37,740 --> 00:30:38,220
Oh god

756
00:30:38,220 --> 00:30:40,060
There's so many creatures

757
00:30:40,060 --> 00:30:42,220
Okay, you want to avoid the sparky sparks

758
00:30:42,220 --> 00:30:42,860
I, oh okay

759
00:30:42,860 --> 00:30:46,540
And there you go, you were getting stronger

760
00:30:46,540 --> 00:30:49,100
But your head stays the same size

761
00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:50,540
You got a juggle, a juggle

762
00:30:50,540 --> 00:30:57,580
Get it

763
00:30:57,580 --> 00:31:00,860
Oh, you're transforming into a

764
00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:03,500
Oh, that's sick

765
00:31:03,500 --> 00:31:06,060
Oh, come here

766
00:31:06,060 --> 00:31:08,060
You're rink

767
00:31:08,060 --> 00:31:14,460
I would never have thought that I had to work behind

768
00:31:14,460 --> 00:31:15,740
Man, unless you told me to do it

769
00:31:15,740 --> 00:31:16,700
But you're still there

770
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:21,740
Oh, I know

771
00:31:21,740 --> 00:31:25,660
Am I still, I get to stay as a werewolf

772
00:31:25,660 --> 00:31:28,300
You tell the end of a level, yeah

773
00:31:35,980 --> 00:31:37,980
Because you have to click three, right?

774
00:31:37,980 --> 00:31:39,980
Or are you just like

775
00:31:39,980 --> 00:31:46,540
Now you want to avoid the, uh, the Palpatine Lightning

776
00:31:46,540 --> 00:31:50,380
How do you

777
00:31:50,380 --> 00:31:51,180
There

778
00:31:51,180 --> 00:31:53,580
Oh, okay, now go

779
00:31:53,580 --> 00:31:58,620
Oh, yes, excuse me

780
00:31:58,620 --> 00:32:00,860
Now it's gonna keep throwing his head at you

781
00:32:00,860 --> 00:32:03,740
Oh, just like, just keep attacking

782
00:32:03,740 --> 00:32:04,220
Oh

783
00:32:04,780 --> 00:32:06,780
Oh

784
00:32:06,780 --> 00:32:12,460
Oh my god, how do you attack him?

785
00:32:12,460 --> 00:32:14,220
He's like, oh, I died

786
00:32:14,220 --> 00:32:15,020
He's a little further

787
00:32:15,020 --> 00:32:16,220
What are you doing?

788
00:32:16,220 --> 00:32:17,020
You three

789
00:32:17,020 --> 00:32:17,980
All right, you're done

790
00:32:17,980 --> 00:32:18,780
Okay

791
00:32:18,780 --> 00:32:22,700
Is that still only level one?

792
00:32:22,700 --> 00:32:24,780
Oh dear god

793
00:32:24,780 --> 00:32:28,460
All right, because I'm only a werewolf

794
00:32:28,460 --> 00:32:29,420
I had to be a

795
00:32:29,420 --> 00:32:33,340
Couldn't even get to a werebear

796
00:32:34,060 --> 00:32:36,060
Hmm

797
00:32:36,060 --> 00:32:38,060
But

798
00:32:38,060 --> 00:32:44,540
Rise from your grave

799
00:32:44,540 --> 00:32:47,260
Do you?

800
00:32:47,260 --> 00:32:50,220
Is my head just...

801
00:32:50,220 --> 00:32:52,060
I'll get these guys

802
00:32:52,060 --> 00:32:53,740
Kick it again

803
00:32:53,740 --> 00:33:00,140
(Laughs)

804
00:33:00,140 --> 00:33:01,740
Yeah, yeah, oh, wow

805
00:33:01,740 --> 00:33:03,740
I can give you a hug, can I? Yeah

806
00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:06,860
That's my favorite one, the guy who's hitting his head

807
00:33:06,860 --> 00:33:14,300
I kick you

808
00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:15,500
I kick you, sir

809
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:21,340
Oh no, there

810
00:33:21,340 --> 00:33:22,380
Oh, he's a power up

811
00:33:22,380 --> 00:33:23,580
Give me, give me

812
00:33:23,580 --> 00:33:26,140
Yeah, oh my god, the head really does stay the same

813
00:33:26,140 --> 00:33:29,580
Okay, I gotta

814
00:33:29,580 --> 00:33:34,380
I'm gonna punch this guy, punch, punch, punch, punch

815
00:33:34,380 --> 00:33:37,020
Down, down, punch, punch

816
00:33:37,020 --> 00:33:42,140
For 19 or 18

817
00:33:42,140 --> 00:33:44,140
That's a little dull, yeah

818
00:33:44,140 --> 00:33:47,740
What, you can throw something?

819
00:33:47,740 --> 00:33:49,900
The punch is, you throw like a ball

820
00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:56,780
Oh

821
00:33:57,580 --> 00:33:59,580
(Laughs)

822
00:33:59,580 --> 00:34:03,660
I guess, I'm not sure how I did that

823
00:34:03,660 --> 00:34:07,900
I'm also learning how to play this game

824
00:34:07,900 --> 00:34:09,900
Did you ever play this game? No, I did not

825
00:34:09,900 --> 00:34:11,900
I did not

826
00:34:11,900 --> 00:34:13,900
No, I got the Sega bundle

827
00:34:13,900 --> 00:34:15,900
Sorry, the Sonic bundle

828
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:20,940
How different your life would have been

829
00:34:20,940 --> 00:34:22,620
You got the altered beast bundle instead

830
00:34:22,620 --> 00:34:24,060
Yeah, then I would be in the comments to me

831
00:34:24,060 --> 00:34:26,060
Like, how dare you

832
00:34:26,540 --> 00:34:28,540
(Laughs)

833
00:34:28,540 --> 00:34:31,020
I feel feel pretty vindicated

834
00:34:31,020 --> 00:34:32,540
Yeah, that guy's hard

835
00:34:32,540 --> 00:34:35,260
So we can- Is that the big boss at the end of that level?

836
00:34:35,260 --> 00:34:36,380
Oh, just that level

837
00:34:36,380 --> 00:34:38,620
So we can agree that this was pretty hard to play

838
00:34:38,620 --> 00:34:42,060
It's very hard to play, but I am really into it

839
00:34:42,060 --> 00:34:43,340
There was a playthrough

840
00:34:43,340 --> 00:34:46,140
I'm sure that if I spent more time with it

841
00:34:46,140 --> 00:34:49,020
and actually try to like figure out the actual controls

842
00:34:49,020 --> 00:34:50,060
I could do much better at it

843
00:34:50,060 --> 00:34:51,500
But for the sake of time

844
00:34:51,500 --> 00:34:53,980
I want to find a playthrough

845
00:34:53,980 --> 00:34:56,620
and we just kind of like, scrub through that

846
00:34:56,620 --> 00:34:59,900
I also rescind every comment I said about five levels

847
00:34:59,900 --> 00:35:00,940
not being a loss

848
00:35:00,940 --> 00:35:02,140
(Laughs)

849
00:35:02,140 --> 00:35:05,100
Because I really thought that the levels

850
00:35:05,100 --> 00:35:07,340
were going to be shorter and easier

851
00:35:07,340 --> 00:35:10,140
So good on you for doing five

852
00:35:10,140 --> 00:35:12,220
because one felt challenging

853
00:35:12,220 --> 00:35:14,220
and I'm sure back in the day

854
00:35:14,220 --> 00:35:16,780
in an arcade it might have been different

855
00:35:16,780 --> 00:35:17,980
Because would you have a joystick

856
00:35:17,980 --> 00:35:20,460
or would you still have just buttons to move forward and back

857
00:35:20,460 --> 00:35:21,980
You would have a joystick

858
00:35:21,980 --> 00:35:24,620
and we would have had the controls on our right hand

859
00:35:24,620 --> 00:35:26,300
Oh, that's also what

860
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:28,460
Yeah, so because this was online

861
00:35:28,460 --> 00:35:30,140
so like it was swapped for us

862
00:35:30,140 --> 00:35:33,100
and even with the Siga controller

863
00:35:33,100 --> 00:35:34,460
it was set up in the same way

864
00:35:34,460 --> 00:35:37,740
where the D-pad was on the left side

865
00:35:37,740 --> 00:35:41,820
and then the ABC buttons were on the right side

866
00:35:41,820 --> 00:35:43,820
(Applause)

867
00:35:43,820 --> 00:35:51,900
We're going through the playthrough right here

868
00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:55,260
This must be a slightly even more updated version

869
00:35:55,260 --> 00:35:55,980
than what we'll...

870
00:35:55,980 --> 00:35:56,380
Whoa!

871
00:35:56,380 --> 00:35:58,380
This might have been the PC version

872
00:35:58,380 --> 00:35:59,420
Yeah, I was going to say

873
00:35:59,420 --> 00:36:01,020
because it's a little crisper

874
00:36:01,020 --> 00:36:02,780
or maybe where we playing the 8-bit

875
00:36:02,780 --> 00:36:03,820
and this is the 16-bit

876
00:36:03,820 --> 00:36:06,620
No, you would have known if we played the 8-bit

877
00:36:06,620 --> 00:36:07,420
We did not

878
00:36:07,420 --> 00:36:11,100
But I think the one that we played might have been...

879
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:13,100
Whoa, excuse me sir

880
00:36:13,100 --> 00:36:16,220
Yeah, I think this is the CD-ROM version

881
00:36:16,220 --> 00:36:18,460
But look at it, he's going through

882
00:36:18,460 --> 00:36:21,500
and avoiding all the throne heads

883
00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:23,980
which... what a move to like...

884
00:36:23,980 --> 00:36:26,460
Attack, just throw your head at someone

885
00:36:26,460 --> 00:36:29,740
It reminds me of Power Rangers

886
00:36:29,740 --> 00:36:31,740
Ooh, an animation here

887
00:36:31,740 --> 00:36:33,980
So the playthrough that I watched

888
00:36:33,980 --> 00:36:35,980
the sound is really great

889
00:36:35,980 --> 00:36:37,580
the cutscene kind of thing

890
00:36:37,580 --> 00:36:41,660
Apparently that is Athena being in peril

891
00:36:41,660 --> 00:36:44,780
But each one is her being more and more in peril

892
00:36:44,780 --> 00:36:45,420
Yeah

893
00:36:45,420 --> 00:36:46,780
So now we're in the underground

894
00:36:46,780 --> 00:36:47,980
"Bell and Snicks"

895
00:36:47,980 --> 00:36:49,500
"Snicks?"

896
00:36:49,500 --> 00:36:51,020
"Snicks"

897
00:36:51,020 --> 00:36:51,820
"Snakes"

898
00:36:51,820 --> 00:36:54,700
Oh, this is the arcade version

899
00:36:54,700 --> 00:36:55,500
Oh cool

900
00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:55,980
Okay, this is cool

901
00:36:55,980 --> 00:36:57,980
Okay, so we're turning into a twag

902
00:36:57,980 --> 00:36:59,740
and you can fly around

903
00:36:59,740 --> 00:37:00,940
You got a little like

904
00:37:00,940 --> 00:37:02,140
You got your own lighting

905
00:37:02,140 --> 00:37:02,780
Mm-hmm

906
00:37:02,780 --> 00:37:04,540
There's Voldemort

907
00:37:04,540 --> 00:37:05,820
He transformed into

908
00:37:05,820 --> 00:37:07,100
A...

909
00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:07,740
A...

910
00:37:07,740 --> 00:37:09,660
Obibically accurate

911
00:37:09,660 --> 00:37:10,300
Angel

912
00:37:10,300 --> 00:37:12,460
That's a...

913
00:37:12,460 --> 00:37:13,660
A crucifixion

914
00:37:13,660 --> 00:37:17,740
Hey, crucifixions weren't reserved only for Jesus

915
00:37:17,740 --> 00:37:18,860
I know

916
00:37:18,860 --> 00:37:19,580
Didn't say they were

917
00:37:19,580 --> 00:37:21,740
I just got caught off guard

918
00:37:21,740 --> 00:37:22,780
Get your power up, pal

919
00:37:22,780 --> 00:37:23,740
There it is, yeah

920
00:37:23,740 --> 00:37:25,740
A turtle

921
00:37:25,740 --> 00:37:26,460
A turtle

922
00:37:26,460 --> 00:37:27,740
An evil turtle

923
00:37:27,740 --> 00:37:30,060
Oh, there he is powering up

924
00:37:30,060 --> 00:37:31,820
Get him back and get that turtle

925
00:37:31,820 --> 00:37:33,900
The head stain, the same size, is really funny

926
00:37:33,900 --> 00:37:36,060
It is very much a choice

927
00:37:36,060 --> 00:37:38,220
I mean, it makes sense

928
00:37:38,220 --> 00:37:39,180
My body keeps growing

929
00:37:39,180 --> 00:37:41,580
We're bad

930
00:37:41,580 --> 00:37:44,860
Oh, does it turn into stone?

931
00:37:44,860 --> 00:37:45,900
Or is it just like

932
00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:46,460
Oh, I don't

933
00:37:46,460 --> 00:37:47,900
Oh, it looks like it just kind of...

934
00:37:47,900 --> 00:37:48,860
Yeah

935
00:37:48,860 --> 00:37:50,380
Kind of a Medusa

936
00:37:50,380 --> 00:37:52,380
In fact, neat

937
00:37:52,380 --> 00:37:54,540
All right, now to take out Palpatine

938
00:37:54,540 --> 00:37:55,340
Oh!

939
00:37:55,340 --> 00:37:57,340
Oh, he's up against a dragon

940
00:37:57,340 --> 00:37:58,460
So we're going under

941
00:37:58,460 --> 00:37:59,500
Fast and Furious rules

942
00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:01,020
We're at first you're

943
00:38:01,020 --> 00:38:02,540
A villain and then you become an ally

944
00:38:02,540 --> 00:38:03,500
But this is the opposite

945
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:03,980
We're...

946
00:38:03,980 --> 00:38:05,180
Right

947
00:38:05,180 --> 00:38:07,020
Although, are we the baddies?

948
00:38:07,020 --> 00:38:08,700
I mean, we're kind of invading this area

949
00:38:08,700 --> 00:38:10,860
And like, taking out all the people who live there

950
00:38:10,860 --> 00:38:13,500
We're rescuing the dams on this grass

951
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:15,500
There's like a really good line of megas

952
00:38:15,500 --> 00:38:16,380
And...

953
00:38:16,380 --> 00:38:17,020
Herculate

954
00:38:17,020 --> 00:38:19,180
Aren't you a damsel in distress?

955
00:38:19,180 --> 00:38:20,060
I'm a damsel!

956
00:38:20,060 --> 00:38:22,220
I'm in distress!

957
00:38:22,220 --> 00:38:23,580
I can handle this

958
00:38:23,580 --> 00:38:24,780
Have a nice day!

959
00:38:24,780 --> 00:38:26,860
But when I was reading about Athena

960
00:38:26,860 --> 00:38:29,100
I was like, oh, this just reminds me of Herculates

961
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:30,060
Look at what she does with a pose

962
00:38:30,060 --> 00:38:33,340
Okay, power down

963
00:38:33,340 --> 00:38:34,700
Onto the next level

964
00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:36,460
Well, level Orayano

965
00:38:36,460 --> 00:38:37,180
Three or four

966
00:38:37,180 --> 00:38:38,380
I think this is four

967
00:38:38,380 --> 00:38:39,740
Yeah, we're about halfway through the video

968
00:38:39,740 --> 00:38:40,780
This is gotta be four

969
00:38:40,780 --> 00:38:42,220
So then, wouldn't that be three?

970
00:38:42,220 --> 00:38:43,500
We're halfway through in their spine

971
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:45,580
Well, he turned into a

972
00:38:45,580 --> 00:38:46,620
Or wolf

973
00:38:46,620 --> 00:38:47,260
We're wolf

974
00:38:47,260 --> 00:38:48,460
We're driving

975
00:38:48,460 --> 00:38:49,500
A were bear

976
00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:50,300
So this must be four

977
00:38:50,300 --> 00:38:53,100
Whoa, look at all the fangs

978
00:38:53,100 --> 00:38:54,940
Oh, zombies are back

979
00:38:54,940 --> 00:38:55,900
These are my favorite

980
00:38:55,900 --> 00:38:57,260
I love them so much

981
00:38:57,260 --> 00:38:59,580
It looks like they're using their heads, like puppets

982
00:38:59,580 --> 00:39:00,060
Yes

983
00:39:00,060 --> 00:39:01,900
Heck a chow

984
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:03,500
Oh, and...

985
00:39:03,500 --> 00:39:04,380
Yes!

986
00:39:04,380 --> 00:39:05,420
Where did I go?

987
00:39:05,420 --> 00:39:06,060
I...

988
00:39:06,060 --> 00:39:06,860
Okay

989
00:39:06,860 --> 00:39:08,220
Is this one your favorite?

990
00:39:08,220 --> 00:39:10,220
I love checking three when I was growing up

991
00:39:10,220 --> 00:39:11,580
I don't know what that is

992
00:39:11,580 --> 00:39:12,860
Let me see if I can find the character

993
00:39:12,860 --> 00:39:13,740
I...

994
00:39:13,740 --> 00:39:14,780
Forget his name

995
00:39:14,780 --> 00:39:16,540
Because I always played Eddie Gordo

996
00:39:16,540 --> 00:39:18,620
I can't not see Anna Morph

997
00:39:18,620 --> 00:39:19,900
Do you remember that when we were kids?

998
00:39:19,900 --> 00:39:21,580
Yeah, I had a bunch of their books

999
00:39:21,580 --> 00:39:23,660
Especially the cutscenes

1000
00:39:23,660 --> 00:39:25,580
Oh, oh, oh, he killed Pagelpateen

1001
00:39:25,580 --> 00:39:27,100
And now we have a crock

1002
00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:29,100
A floating fire breathing crock

1003
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:29,740
Good aisle

1004
00:39:29,740 --> 00:39:30,540
Pokemon

1005
00:39:30,540 --> 00:39:32,300
And you can crouch on this level

1006
00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:35,500
Oh, I gotta run

1007
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:38,620
So it wasn't a tiger

1008
00:39:38,620 --> 00:39:40,540
It was a jag wire

1009
00:39:40,540 --> 00:39:41,980
So it was the...

1010
00:39:41,980 --> 00:39:43,020
What a mistake

1011
00:39:43,020 --> 00:39:44,700
I know, so it was

1012
00:39:44,700 --> 00:39:46,460
The body of a human

1013
00:39:46,460 --> 00:39:49,020
Face or head of a jag wire

1014
00:39:49,020 --> 00:39:50,460
Oh, but I can see

1015
00:39:50,460 --> 00:39:51,740
Or you were pulling that, bro

1016
00:39:51,740 --> 00:39:52,300
Yep

1017
00:39:52,300 --> 00:39:53,260
Big cat

1018
00:39:53,260 --> 00:39:54,460
Big cat

1019
00:39:54,460 --> 00:39:56,220
Like did he turn into a bird?

1020
00:39:56,220 --> 00:39:58,140
I'm not gonna play that game

1021
00:39:58,140 --> 00:39:59,180
Ooh, we got...

1022
00:39:59,180 --> 00:40:00,140
Mr. Tumnus

1023
00:40:00,140 --> 00:40:00,940
Yeah

1024
00:40:00,940 --> 00:40:01,980
Evil Tumnus

1025
00:40:01,980 --> 00:40:03,740
I was gonna say the actor's name

1026
00:40:03,740 --> 00:40:04,860
I can forget the actor's name

1027
00:40:04,860 --> 00:40:05,420
McAvoy

1028
00:40:05,420 --> 00:40:06,220
McAvoy

1029
00:40:06,220 --> 00:40:07,180
And a fish

1030
00:40:07,180 --> 00:40:07,980
Ooh

1031
00:40:07,980 --> 00:40:09,100
A bubbly fish

1032
00:40:09,100 --> 00:40:11,180
Oh, so you can avoid the fish completely

1033
00:40:11,180 --> 00:40:13,340
You cannot avoid the mentar

1034
00:40:13,340 --> 00:40:15,260
Oh, now that I've seen this, though I understand

1035
00:40:15,260 --> 00:40:16,140
Pulling the mentar

1036
00:40:16,140 --> 00:40:17,820
A unicorn

1037
00:40:17,820 --> 00:40:19,260
And into

1038
00:40:19,260 --> 00:40:20,940
The golden werewolf

1039
00:40:20,940 --> 00:40:23,580
This seems anticlimactic

1040
00:40:23,580 --> 00:40:24,780
(laughs)

1041
00:40:24,780 --> 00:40:27,260
After seeing all the really cool transformations

1042
00:40:27,260 --> 00:40:30,060
I'm sure they went through all of the other transformations

1043
00:40:30,060 --> 00:40:31,740
Be like, these are all really cool

1044
00:40:31,740 --> 00:40:33,020
He's like, and we got one more

1045
00:40:33,020 --> 00:40:34,300
And they're like, come on

1046
00:40:34,300 --> 00:40:36,860
He's like, all right, I'll make it easy on you guys

1047
00:40:36,860 --> 00:40:39,660
Just take the skin from the first level

1048
00:40:39,660 --> 00:40:41,580
In fact, we're gonna make the color a lot easier

1049
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:45,740
Yeah, it is all one shade of gold

1050
00:40:45,740 --> 00:40:47,820
Whoever is playing this is doing a great job

1051
00:40:47,820 --> 00:40:49,260
It hasn't even lost a life

1052
00:40:49,260 --> 00:40:50,460
Good on

1053
00:40:50,460 --> 00:40:51,980
Ah, rock steady

1054
00:40:51,980 --> 00:40:53,180
That's he was up against

1055
00:40:53,180 --> 00:40:54,860
(laughs)

1056
00:40:54,860 --> 00:40:57,100
All the coloring went into the rhino

1057
00:40:57,100 --> 00:40:57,900
Mm-hmm

1058
00:40:57,900 --> 00:41:00,060
I do love what's happening in the foreground here

1059
00:41:00,060 --> 00:41:02,460
That's kind of a Pompeii situation

1060
00:41:02,460 --> 00:41:04,700
Yeah, you're supposed to be deep into the underworld now

1061
00:41:04,700 --> 00:41:05,980
So that makes sense

1062
00:41:05,980 --> 00:41:07,260
I also see why they were like

1063
00:41:07,260 --> 00:41:10,940
Maybe this wouldn't do so well in the US in the 80s

1064
00:41:10,940 --> 00:41:12,220
Oh, there's a girl

1065
00:41:12,220 --> 00:41:13,420
Oh, they're reunited, see?

1066
00:41:13,420 --> 00:41:14,540
It's a love story

1067
00:41:14,540 --> 00:41:17,500
But I don't see why it wouldn't, like, we're recently coming off of the

1068
00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:20,140
I don't know, the Satanic panic of the 80s

1069
00:41:20,140 --> 00:41:22,460
Not the Satanic panic, but Teen Wolf

1070
00:41:22,460 --> 00:41:25,020
It's not the wolf-- oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, cut!

1071
00:41:25,020 --> 00:41:27,100
Beer!

1072
00:41:27,100 --> 00:41:32,780
Team Shnoby, I do need to say that, so Shnoby is a game before this

1073
00:41:32,780 --> 00:41:35,180
And actually the team who developed Shnoby

1074
00:41:35,180 --> 00:41:36,940
went on to develop Ultra Beast

1075
00:41:36,940 --> 00:41:40,780
And they actually put in some like, Shnoby Easter eggs into the game too

1076
00:41:40,780 --> 00:41:43,180
Apparently there's also an Alex the Kid Easter eggs

1077
00:41:43,180 --> 00:41:48,220
Yes, there is because the head developer of Alex Kid went on to lead the team as well

1078
00:41:48,220 --> 00:41:49,260
That's amazing

1079
00:41:49,260 --> 00:41:49,980
Yeah

1080
00:41:49,980 --> 00:41:51,660
I like it, I like it a lot

1081
00:41:51,660 --> 00:41:52,220
Thanks, and I--

1082
00:41:52,220 --> 00:41:53,340
It's fun, yay

1083
00:41:53,340 --> 00:41:54,060
Thank you, Internet

1084
00:41:54,060 --> 00:41:56,700
I have no notes, I think that's a pretty great game

1085
00:41:56,700 --> 00:42:00,060
I guess like, Chucky Cheese was also a thing when we were kids

1086
00:42:00,060 --> 00:42:03,500
And I don't know, I never got really pumped about any of the games that were in there

1087
00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:06,380
I want to see this in David Buster's case too

1088
00:42:06,380 --> 00:42:07,180
I liked it

1089
00:42:07,180 --> 00:42:08,140
Yeah, it was a lot of fun

1090
00:42:08,140 --> 00:42:09,340
Now someone make it a movie

1091
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:11,580
How did this not get me?

1092
00:42:11,580 --> 00:42:15,020
I'm glad that the Internet has enlightened me on this game

1093
00:42:15,020 --> 00:42:16,860
It is a very important game

1094
00:42:16,860 --> 00:42:17,580
It is

1095
00:42:17,580 --> 00:42:18,060
I can--

1096
00:42:18,060 --> 00:42:19,020
We stand corrected

1097
00:42:19,020 --> 00:42:21,820
I understand the

1098
00:42:21,820 --> 00:42:23,180
Flood of comedy

1099
00:42:23,180 --> 00:42:26,140
The opposition of like, how dare you

1100
00:42:26,140 --> 00:42:28,620
I get it, I understand, I apologize

1101
00:42:28,620 --> 00:42:30,700
I stand corrected

1102
00:42:30,700 --> 00:42:32,860
Happily corrected

1103
00:42:32,860 --> 00:42:35,820
Yeah, I mean, I'm glad I looked into this game, it was a lot of fun

1104
00:42:35,820 --> 00:42:39,260
Yeah, I really have enjoyed getting feedback on things

1105
00:42:39,260 --> 00:42:40,940
And then running with it

1106
00:42:40,940 --> 00:42:41,420
Yeah

1107
00:42:41,420 --> 00:42:51,020
Should we jump to our recommendations in the week?

1108
00:42:51,020 --> 00:42:51,660
Let's do it

1109
00:42:51,660 --> 00:42:53,260
What's yours? I always go first

1110
00:42:53,260 --> 00:42:54,700
The movie "Flo"

1111
00:42:54,700 --> 00:42:58,620
It got nominated for best animated film

1112
00:42:58,620 --> 00:43:03,500
It is about a cat who lives in a post-apocalyptic world

1113
00:43:03,500 --> 00:43:07,980
We're not really sure, but there are no humans that are around in it

1114
00:43:07,980 --> 00:43:13,500
And there is a great flood that like, displaces many different animals

1115
00:43:13,500 --> 00:43:18,460
And this house cat is just trying to navigate through the world

1116
00:43:18,460 --> 00:43:20,380
Making new friends, making new animal friends

1117
00:43:20,380 --> 00:43:25,420
And it's really cute, it's really well done, really well animated

1118
00:43:25,420 --> 00:43:28,460
I will say that if you are a cat owner

1119
00:43:28,460 --> 00:43:29,420
Hmm

1120
00:43:29,420 --> 00:43:32,300
I've seen videos where they watch it with their cats

1121
00:43:32,300 --> 00:43:34,940
And their cat will like, look up at the screen

1122
00:43:34,940 --> 00:43:37,420
And just like, be enamored by it

1123
00:43:37,420 --> 00:43:40,700
But there is a little bit of a warning

1124
00:43:40,700 --> 00:43:44,300
There are some distressing cat noises in there

1125
00:43:44,300 --> 00:43:45,340
I know, I'm done

1126
00:43:45,340 --> 00:43:46,940
It'll make you feel uneasy

1127
00:43:46,940 --> 00:43:49,180
Is it like Guardians of the Galaxy 3?

1128
00:43:49,180 --> 00:43:50,860
Like bad? Because I'm out

1129
00:43:50,860 --> 00:43:52,220
I don't think it's that bad

1130
00:43:52,220 --> 00:43:53,980
But there are some moments where

1131
00:43:53,980 --> 00:43:56,700
If you do own a cat and you hear those noises

1132
00:43:56,700 --> 00:43:58,540
It might hit you a little hard

1133
00:43:58,540 --> 00:44:01,260
But I will assure you, I think I can do this

1134
00:44:01,260 --> 00:44:04,060
It's just like, does the dog die at the end?

1135
00:44:04,060 --> 00:44:08,540
The cat does not die, dot com

1136
00:44:08,540 --> 00:44:11,820
So yes, those sounds are distressing

1137
00:44:11,820 --> 00:44:15,500
And apparently the noises of that cat is the director's cat

1138
00:44:15,500 --> 00:44:18,860
Did he put out a statement that his cat was not harmed in the making of that movie?

1139
00:44:18,860 --> 00:44:20,140
I'm sure they did

1140
00:44:20,140 --> 00:44:25,100
But they used a lot of real animal noises for the film

1141
00:44:25,100 --> 00:44:27,900
But overall, it's an incredible movie

1142
00:44:27,900 --> 00:44:28,700
Nice

1143
00:44:28,700 --> 00:44:31,100
I guess I'm still doing a blind recommendation

1144
00:44:31,100 --> 00:44:34,700
Because I'm going through the best picture

1145
00:44:34,700 --> 00:44:36,940
I just gotta say options, contenders

1146
00:44:36,940 --> 00:44:39,100
I tend to do that every year, it's nice

1147
00:44:39,100 --> 00:44:41,260
Because there's always like your big blockbusters

1148
00:44:41,260 --> 00:44:43,500
That you wind up, everybody sort of sees

1149
00:44:43,500 --> 00:44:47,580
But there's always three or four that are thrown in that are lesser known

1150
00:44:47,580 --> 00:44:50,060
Those are the ones I get really excited to see

1151
00:44:50,060 --> 00:44:52,380
So next on my list is Nickel Boys

1152
00:44:52,380 --> 00:44:53,260
Oh yeah

1153
00:44:53,260 --> 00:44:56,380
Yeah, it's directed and written by Ramell Ross

1154
00:44:56,380 --> 00:44:58,460
I know nothing about it

1155
00:44:58,460 --> 00:45:01,420
I stayed pretty blind when I'm running through them

1156
00:45:01,420 --> 00:45:02,540
But that was one on the list

1157
00:45:02,540 --> 00:45:05,500
That was like everybody sort of like if you say "Dunem" part 2

1158
00:45:05,500 --> 00:45:06,620
You know what it is

1159
00:45:06,620 --> 00:45:08,700
Or if you say "Wikid" you know what it is

1160
00:45:08,700 --> 00:45:12,300
At this point if you say "Emily Perez" you know what it is

1161
00:45:12,300 --> 00:45:12,300
Yeah

1162
00:45:12,300 --> 00:45:16,620
Left on my list is Nickel Boys

1163
00:45:16,620 --> 00:45:18,780
I'm still here, the brutalist

1164
00:45:18,780 --> 00:45:20,140
A complete unknown enanora

1165
00:45:20,140 --> 00:45:22,300
I've got some words to do in a couple weeks

1166
00:45:22,300 --> 00:45:23,820
Oscars be what they will

1167
00:45:23,820 --> 00:45:25,980
I do think there are other films

1168
00:45:25,980 --> 00:45:30,860
that are not the mega blockbusters that are totally worth our time

1169
00:45:30,860 --> 00:45:33,740
So I think Nickel Boys is a one-way-should-watch

1170
00:45:33,740 --> 00:45:35,980
It's pretty scored pretty high

1171
00:45:35,980 --> 00:45:37,020
Sounds pretty good

1172
00:45:37,020 --> 00:45:39,420
I want to do another blind recommendation

1173
00:45:39,420 --> 00:45:42,460
But if you are in the Los Angeles area

1174
00:45:42,460 --> 00:45:45,020
If you are next to a "Lebly Theater"

1175
00:45:45,020 --> 00:45:51,420
They will do a special screening for all of the Oscar nominated short films

1176
00:45:51,420 --> 00:45:53,500
Oh right, you love this

1177
00:45:53,500 --> 00:45:54,940
I highly recommend doing it

1178
00:45:54,940 --> 00:45:56,940
I did it once before and it was amazing

1179
00:45:56,940 --> 00:45:59,740
Because most of the time when you are watching the Oscars

1180
00:45:59,740 --> 00:46:03,020
And they do the nominations for the short films

1181
00:46:03,020 --> 00:46:05,420
And most of the time just like the audience

1182
00:46:05,420 --> 00:46:07,340
Just like eyes are glazed over

1183
00:46:07,340 --> 00:46:10,460
They are just like I haven't seen any of these

1184
00:46:10,460 --> 00:46:13,660
But the "Lebly Theater" they do something really awesome

1185
00:46:13,660 --> 00:46:16,940
Where they compile all of those short films

1186
00:46:16,940 --> 00:46:20,460
And you get to watch them in just one long sitting

1187
00:46:20,460 --> 00:46:23,420
And it is amazing to see these short films

1188
00:46:23,420 --> 00:46:24,700
Yeah, that's a really good blind record

1189
00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:30,220
I could be wrong but I think they separate it between animated short films and live action short films

1190
00:46:30,220 --> 00:46:31,900
Right, otherwise you're just like

1191
00:46:31,900 --> 00:46:33,420
Doesn't feel so short anymore

1192
00:46:33,420 --> 00:46:35,420
But yes, if you are near a "Lebly Theater"

1193
00:46:35,420 --> 00:46:37,180
If you are in Los Angeles

1194
00:46:37,180 --> 00:46:38,940
And knowing the demographics from

1195
00:46:38,940 --> 00:46:42,220
All right, let us tell you you might just be

1196
00:46:42,220 --> 00:46:44,860
Most likely next to a "Lebly Theater"

1197
00:46:44,860 --> 00:46:47,340
But yes, if you are near a "Lebly Theater"

1198
00:46:47,340 --> 00:46:49,740
Please look up the showtimes

1199
00:46:49,740 --> 00:46:52,460
Support those smaller theaters

1200
00:46:52,460 --> 00:46:53,020
Don't

1201
00:46:53,020 --> 00:46:54,620
As much as we love our A-list

1202
00:46:54,620 --> 00:46:55,980
Yes, but

1203
00:46:55,980 --> 00:46:57,980
Just support the "Lebly Theater"

1204
00:46:57,980 --> 00:46:59,180
Yes, and that's it

1205
00:46:59,180 --> 00:47:00,700
Yeah, those are recommendations

1206
00:47:00,700 --> 00:47:02,940
Thank you internet for telling us that we were wrong

1207
00:47:02,940 --> 00:47:04,380
And should play all three days

1209
00:47:05,580 --> 00:47:06,380
Yes, it is

1210
00:47:06,380 --> 00:47:15,580

1211
00:47:15,580 --> 00:47:17,500
