And welcome to another episode of the Gamer Heads Podcast. My name is Roger. Along with me are my good friends and co-hosts. Of course, we have the CEO and president of Gamer Heads, phil. I talk when I want, that's yeah, well, welcome. I'm glad that you're here and that you're're doing done talking now.

Speaker 2: 1:31

Okay, uh, thanks for having me, roger. Yeah, see you next week. I'm done interrupting now until the next time I interrupt and, of course, we have our good friend and co-host.

Speaker 1: 1:38

I have mike. Oh yeah, let's take a moment. Can we take one quick moment here? Since it is WrestleMania weekend, can we just take one quick? Well, actually, by the time people listen to this, the WrestleMania has happened, but they won't know this. Who won WrestleMania? Well, we can predict but not predict. We're going to tell you who won WrestleMania right now we are. Who wins, yeah, who wins WrestleMania? Who wins the championship belt? Our tribal chief? Who?

Speaker 2: 2:05

wins the championship belt, our tribal chief, okay, you think so.

Speaker 1: 2:10

Yeah, absolutely, cody sucks.

Speaker 3: 2:11

Fuck him. Oh, okay, okay. Next topic.

Speaker 1: 2:13

Mike, who wins who?

Speaker 2: 2:16

wins the championship One minute and 10 seconds for an F-bomb.

Speaker 3: 2:19

My prediction is that what's his name? Rollins, not Roll, the heck who wrestles these days yokozuna. Yokozuna is gonna yokozuna versus doink the clown for the 24-hour hardcore championship my opinion was the best championship of all time in the afterlife, the 24-hour hardcore like somebody would just be hanging out in a bar and then you get smashed over the head with a bottle and they'd pin them it was the best.

Speaker 1: 2:51

It was the best anytime, anywhere.

Speaker 3: 2:53

Um no, I think. I think the rock and roman are gonna win the tag tag match yeah, to make it, um, to make it whatever bloodline rules, and then cody's gonna win on sunday. I you know, what I think would be awesome is if, uh, like ralph, or uh why do I keep saying seth ralph, um, roman reigns is like okay, so I can have whoever I want at the ring and you're only and you're not allowed to have any wwe superstars at the ring it is and then out out comes MJF or Jericho, or Daniel.

Speaker 2: 3:28

Bryan.

Speaker 3: 3:30

Yeah or Dustin. Anybody like that Anybody from AEW? I think that would be such a surprise if they did that. I don't know if Triple H wants to do cross promotion. I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing cross promotion. I don't know anything about the guy.

Speaker 1: 3:47

He had some cross-promotions in the Royal Rumble.

Speaker 2: 3:50

Yeah, he has the last couple. Well, there have been the last not few years, but there's definitely been a few GoBiTwins in the last few Rumbles which.

Speaker 3: 3:56

I think that would just be cool, even if they just came out just to get into just a little scuff with the other members of the bloodline. I think that would be awesome. And then they go back to aw and they do their own thing.

Speaker 1: 4:05

Yeah, I think that'd be cool but that's not gonna, I still I still want doink the clown to come out.

Speaker 3: 4:10

Did I tell you I would I tell you I saw doink the clown at a, uh, at a small town parade, which, no, yeah, you know well where my parents have truly was doing the clown.

Speaker 1: 4:20

I'm not?

Speaker 2: 4:21

oh, I don't know, it's tough to say there was at least three of them on wwe, and however many impersonators have been throughout the course of just the indie scenes but they said doink, they advertised doing the clown because they were doing a wrestling show too, because it was like the big, it was like the big small town carnival yeah every small town has its own carnival and they had a wrestling show and they said doink the clown.

Speaker 3: 4:38

And then he's on a big float and I just yelled out as loud as I could I love you, doink. And Doink just points at me. Nice I like Doink the Clown, I thought he was awesome.

Speaker 1: 4:49

Doink and Dink, yeah, yeah, and I know this is not many people. I loved the Brooklyn Brawler. I thought he was awesome. And Barry Horowitz yeah, barry Horowitz.

Speaker 3: 4:59

That's actually. That was one of my final decisions on my baseball fantasy team was the Brooklyn brawlers.

Speaker 2: 5:07

Oh, I thought you meant Barry Horowitz?

Speaker 3: 5:09

Yeah, oh, no, I mean uh okay.

Speaker 1: 5:14

So you say that Cody's going to win. That's what you're saying.

Speaker 3: 5:16

I think he will.

Speaker 1: 5:17

Yeah, uh. So this is how I think it goes down. I do think that rock and Roman win the tag team. I think that the championship match Rock turns on Roman. Roman actually turns face at this point and the Rock starts a dark faction of the Bloodline. Or they separate, they start their own factions of the Bloodline. Because, yeah, exactly that's the way I see it going down.

Speaker 3: 5:49

He's going to turn on Reigns and he's going to rock bottom him, him, and he'll rock bottom cody too.

Speaker 2: 5:51

And then put cody on top of roman, and well, that would make rock a face, though, or I don't know if you, if you rock bottoms both of them, I'm not sure that would make him a face or paul hayman, being the wise man that he is and the advocate that is always chasing money, says F, roman Reigns turns on Roman Reigns and sides with the Rock, because the Rock is a bigger name than Roman Reigns and has more money.

Speaker 1: 6:11

That's true too, and he's a final boss. He's the final boss.

Speaker 2: 6:16

And he's got a potty mouth.

Speaker 3: 6:17

Yeah, he's really.

Speaker 1: 6:21

So anyway, I'll just say another thing that I think was going to happen is uh, I think that uh seth rollins beats uh mcintyre, but then priest comes out and beats rollins and cashes in that wouldn't, shock me. Anyway, those are our predictions. That's not. That's not video game related, but those were our predictions and by the time you hear this, you'll be like well, wrestlemania is over. You were completely right.

Speaker 2: 6:47

I can't believe how right you were and feel free and send me your I hate Cody hate mail because I'm glad they accept it, and I will argue to my dying breath that Cody Rhodes is not a good guy.

Speaker 2: 6:58

Slash baby face. Everything about him is a heel and for some reason the people have embraced it as such. Even St is a heel and for some reason the people have embraced it as such, even Stardust. I mean the current itineration of Cody Rhodes. He comes out in suits that cost more money than most people make in a month. He talks very slowly and down to people. He uses big words to confuse people and he is very ego driven. He is nothing more than a heel that people are cheering for no real good reason.

Speaker 1: 7:25

I will say he is well-dressed. That guy is well-dressed.

Speaker 2: 7:28

He is a very sharp-dressed man, he is super sharp-dressed.

Speaker 1: 7:30

Yeah, I don't know, but fuck him. Okay, okay well.

Speaker 3: 7:38

There goes our special guest next week. Cody's not going to be on the show. He's going to cancel now.

Speaker 1: 7:42

Yeah he was going to be on the show to talk about his championship, his finishing story, but I guess that's not going to happen. Thanks, phil. Well, welcome listeners. Wow, that was a long way to get here.

Speaker 3: 7:53

We'll have to get Doink on the show then.

Speaker 2: 8:42

I did that once. I defended myself. That doesn't shock me, phil.

Speaker 1: 8:45

You know I did that once. I defended myself. That doesn't shock me, phil, true story man. You know I will tell you I defended myself once too. Did you feel like Harvey Dent? Because I did. No, I was not a big deal, I was speeding and I showed up to my court case and I was like I stood up and the judge was like just sit down, it's fine. As he walked in and then he was like listen, it's not my deal, I'm just going to let you go. I'm like okay, cool, thanks. So I got away with very. I think he gave me like a small fine.

Speaker 1: 9:15

Mine was a DUI, okay Well, and I defended myself and got the exact same punishment as the person that went before me that had a lawyer.

Speaker 2: 9:25

So well, there you go. I would like to say that I saved myself a lot of money and did the exact same work as a person that gets paid a lot more money.

Speaker 1: 9:29

Yeah, yeah, but I did. Yeah, I think I got away with like I don't know, like $50 or some $50 fine or something like that, I don't know. Anyway, I pleaded, no contest.

Speaker 3: 9:43

I got away, I dove out the window and I got the hell out of there.

Speaker 1: 9:46

I pleaded no contest look everybody over there. I took off running.

Speaker 3: 9:52

Roger, just doesn't. He doesn't even dive through, just cannonballs right out the window yeah, listen, listen.

Speaker 1: 9:58

I feel real badass now that I defended myself, I just remember I feel like a real. I have some street cred from that, don't I feel isn't that give me some street? Yeah, you, you've got something out of that. Yeah, that's right, that's right. Uh, all right. Well, I have an icebreaker for us this week, gentlemen we didn't just break the ice? No, we didn't. That was not the icebreaker. Uh, the question I have for you this week is what is the most unexpected game you've enjoyed this year?

Speaker 3: 10:27

and michael, start with you oh, what'd you do that for?

Speaker 1: 10:30

yeah, because you gave me a look of like huh because I don't think there's. I've enjoyed a single game this year wow, did it release this year it doesn't have to have released this year, but it has to be a game that you first played this year, so it can't be like oh, I played this game last year and I'm still enjoying it and that'll be the show yeah, exactly uh, mike, do you have a game that you uh unexpected, an unexpected game that you've enjoyed this year?

Speaker 3: 10:57

uh, let me uh go through the games I got, because you just want me to go first.

Speaker 2: 11:02

Mike, give me time to think, yeah uh, I'm gonna reiterate the fact that I have enjoyed and have very little left of it, of spongebob square pants, battle for bikini bottom, rehydrated. That's awesome, it's been super fun, it's been good enough and I've dug my time with it and I'm fighting myself for fighting the urge to do 100% on it, but we'll see what happens. It's better than I thought it would be and I was pleasantly surprised by it.

Speaker 3: 11:31

Nice.

Speaker 1: 11:32

Very cool. Mike, do you have a game?

Speaker 3: 11:35

Yeah, I'm good now.

Speaker 1: 11:36

Okay, good.

Speaker 3: 11:37

Thanks for stalling. Yeah, wow, I'm an excellent staller.

Speaker 1: 11:40

He gave me his answer. I wasn't stalling, no well he gave me his answer.

Speaker 3: 11:42

It wasn't stalling, no.

Speaker 1: 11:43

Well, he also stalled, that's true. He did All right.

Speaker 3: 11:46

So actually I think I got two of them.

Speaker 1: 11:49

I do too.

Speaker 3: 11:50

My runner up is definitely that Tomb Raider remastered trilogy. I forgot that. How much I talked about how much I enjoyed the Tomb Raider games. And yeah, I mean it's Tomb Raider, so only it's a lot prettier. And then I'd say my biggest surprise would have to be Roger, would have to be that walkabout mini golf.

Speaker 1: 12:10

Yeah, that's a good game. We need to play that again. That's really fun. I was just thinking about that the other day because we got a hole in one. We both got a hole in one in that one hole and that was really fun and, yeah, we should play that again.

Speaker 3: 12:25

That was really fun and, yeah, we should play that again. That was really fun, absolutely yeah, and there was a big sale and I picked up uh, I, I picked up the you know, the beat saber game oh, you did I haven't played it yet, but I'd have to say that and you know, I haven't even played the switch all year. I don't think I played a single game on the switch. What, no, no, no, I take it back. I take it back. I played berserk boy for my review I did the.

Speaker 2: 12:43

the review of Berserk Boy. Yeah, yeah, I played it on an emulator.

Speaker 3: 12:48

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 12:49

Shut it down Nintendo. No, that's a new game.

Speaker 1: 12:50

You can't emulate new games.

Speaker 3: 12:54

That's a good conversation if you want to do Gamer Heads Unfiltered. Games and emulators. What should?

Speaker 2: 13:02

Nintendo shut down, no, just the whole emulation.

Speaker 1: 13:07

Uh, you know yeah, no, actually that's a good idea. We should do a topic around that. That would be a kind of an interesting topic. Uh, good picks for me. I'm gonna. I also have two picks. The first one is cassette piece. Uh, I, when I first started playing that game, I was like, eh, this just feels like Pokemon, I don't know. And then we started playing it for the podcast and I was really digging it. I still dig it. I think it's a good game. I'm going to go back to it. I just haven't had a chance to go back to it, but that was a lot better than I thought it was going to be and it's a lot harder than Pokemon. Like Pokemon, I mean, you can grind pretty well, pretty easily.

Speaker 3: 13:43

You just keep pressing A.

Speaker 1: 13:45

Yeah, yeah, I know I like, I like cassette piece and I like the music. The music is like really good in cassette piece, so I really enjoyed that.

Speaker 2: 13:52

I could have included that one too.

Speaker 1: 13:55

The other one that I'm going to say is another game that I'm actually reviewing right now, and I'll talk a little bit more about it when we get to the games that we're currently playing. But I have been playing a game that went, so there was a demo of it first, and I played the demos during one of the steam fest demos and I didn't really like it very much because I it was just too, I don't know, I there was, it just didn't connect with me. And then, uh, I was offered, we were offered a review code to start playing it. It's called beat saber beat slayer boy, not beat saber beat slayer. Uh, it is uh an action. It's about killing vegetables. Yes, you kill beats uh, sweet no, it's uh, it's a.

Speaker 1: 14:35

It's a rhythm game, uh, and it's a. It's a roguelike, but it's a very forgiving roguelike. I'll talk more about when we play games, but I'm really enjoying that game a lot and I'll have my review up on the site, uh, by the time you hear this. So, uh, the other cool thing I'll just share this real quick. Uh, their press sent me this really cool cassette with the music oh, wow um, what's cool about this? You pull up the cassette right and then it's actually a usb. Uh, so it's like this, is that cool?

Speaker 2: 15:06

oh, that's super cool isn't that really cool.

Speaker 1: 15:09

Yeah, it's like a transformer yeah, kind of yeah and I got that I got that in the, I got that in the mail and I was like this is really cool. So they sent me a nice little note and uh, and in this cool cassette. So I thought that was really neat in this cool cassette. So I thought that was really neat, nice, and the music's really good too, okay, well, yes, mike, oh you have a rant too, don't you?

Speaker 3: 15:33

I have a rant, but I just wanted to call out that I'm very surprised that neither of you called out Bellatro.

Speaker 2: 15:40

I thought about it, but I also realized that as soon as I saw Bellator I knew I'd enjoy it. So it wasn't a game that I thought I wouldn't enjoy.

Speaker 1: 15:46

OK, that makes sense, yeah, me too, I mean, because I knew, I knew I was going to like it so much that I actually I actually bid on it in the fantasy critics league that I'm in, and and it did so well, bill.

Speaker 2: 16:05

Yes, I'm a nerd, OK, I'm a nerd. Okay, I'm a nerd, dude, I'm a huge nerd. Fantasy Critic Review League, is that's some?

Speaker 1: 16:12

It's awesome, phil, it is amazing.

Speaker 2: 16:15

Is there money on the line?

Speaker 1: 16:17

It's a good time, phil. That's what's on the line A good time. There's no money on the line, there's bragging rights. Well, that's A good time. There's no money online, there's bragging rights.

Speaker 2: 16:24

Well, that's.

Speaker 1: 16:25

That's you know. But anyway, I saw that and I was like this game is going to do really well. And I was right. I was absolutely right. I was so proud of myself. But yeah, that's a good game too, mike, you do have a rant though, don't you?

Speaker 3: 16:40

Yes, I'm actually going to kind of switch things around a little bit. It's actually an anti-rant.

Speaker 1: 16:46

Oh, as a praise.

Speaker 3: 16:48

Well, I mean yeah.

Speaker 2: 16:50

Oh yeah.

Speaker 3: 16:51

But it's actually so I'm actually going to be praising myself. Word I can get behind this. Yes, is it a humble brag.

Speaker 1: 17:00

Is that what this is called?

Speaker 3: 17:01

Oh no. No, it's not even humble, it's just straight up brag.

Speaker 2: 17:03

Is that what this is called? Oh no, no, it's not even humble, it's just straight up brag.

Speaker 3: 17:05

Ok. Last week I went on a rant about Microsoft and their Microsoft rewards points, that they're dropping points and it's really annoying and it gets on my nerves. Well, no, no, it's a little rant. Go ahead and check out last week's episode of the GamerHeads podcast. You can find that on Gheadspodcastcom and you can find it on all your favorite podcasting subscription not on google podcast anymore, though that's not on google podcast anymore, but you can't get it dead yeah, it is. That's why I said that but you can find it on youtube.

Speaker 1: 17:36

We have our youtube channel gamerheads.

Speaker 3: 17:39

Gamerheads podcast but if you want the good stuff, you got to get patreon, because that's when I'll send you. That's when you'll also get the mike um. You know month to month calendar of me in various poses and positions ranting.

Speaker 1: 17:53

Uh, you're ranting. Yeah, that, actually, that would be really funny, mike, we should do that as a day calendar. Yeah, oh my god, mike, can we do?

Speaker 3: 18:03

I can't think of 365 rants yes you can. All right, rant number one Roger's making me do this.

Speaker 1: 18:12

Rant number two I'm not seeing any money from this.

Speaker 2: 18:15

Yes, I can take the holidays from you on your Rant Today calendar if you'd like. I can rant about holidays, dude, I hate holidays.

Speaker 3: 18:20

Don't get me started on Flag Day man I hate holidays, don't get me started on flag day.

Speaker 1: 18:27

Man, look at all majestic in the breeze and stuff.

Speaker 3: 18:28

According to my, watch.

Speaker 2: 18:28

I just had a heart attack because you mentioned flag day. Awesome, or as they say here in minnesota flag day uh, so what, what is?

Speaker 1: 18:37

uh, what is, what case? What's your anti-rant then?

Speaker 3: 18:39

my anti-rant is uh, microsoft must have listened to the last episode of the Gamer Heads podcast.

Speaker 1: 18:44

I saw that on the stats. Yeah, I saw that on the stats.

Speaker 3: 18:48

Because then they implemented a 250 point a week. I guess if you basically, if you play the one Xbox game once a day for five days, four days, four days or five days throughout the week, five days, you get 250 points, which gives you a thousand points a month, which is a huge bump into what we've been getting, which is basically we've been losing. So if, if you want to send your love mail to me to say thank you for you know, standing up for you, the people, and telling our evil overlords at Microsoft like hey we need more points.

Speaker 3: 19:30

Our wonderful leaders at. Microsoft Then yes, you can send it to me on Twitter at PezGuyMike and I'll be happy to reply saying you're welcome, but that's an anti-rant. So thank you, microsoft, for implementing 1,000 points a month. Little bonus info that you can do by downloading the Xbox app to your phone or tablet.

Speaker 2: 19:56

Can I thank Microsoft for a second too?

Speaker 3: 19:58

You can thank Mike first.

Speaker 2: 20:00

Mike, I appreciate you for getting the rewards back to where they are.

Speaker 3: 20:03

Fantastic, no problem, I'm Mike. I appreciate you for getting the rewards back to where we are. Fantastic, no problem, I'm here. I'm a man of the people. Phil, I'm a man of the people.

Speaker 2: 20:08

You really are. You speak for all of them. That's right, but can I thank Microsoft? Go for it. It's an anti-rant, so Microsoft, I would like to thank you for not being Nintendo. Oh my god.

Speaker 1: 20:23

You know, I have to get back on the bandwagon with my, with my points, because I, since I came back from from boston. I have not get back on the checking this, checking the things and stuff like that. I was really religious there for a while so I need to get back on to that.

Speaker 2: 20:36

So I do have an announcement to make yeah um, I kind of have a sponsor for us.

Speaker 1: 20:44

Wait, can you announce this or no?

Speaker 3: 20:46

Did it just ink dry?

Speaker 2: 20:48

Yeah, let's put it this way, the sauce is not dry.

Speaker 3: 20:51

Oh, we got some sauce. I know where you're going with this. Remember, you and I had the conversation about investing in it and you're like, oh yeah, I'm like what's the entry price? And you're like, here it is. And I'm like you know what? I'll talk to you later.

Speaker 1: 21:03

Is this a real thing, Phil?

Speaker 2: 21:06

Yeah, the owner of Seven Bridges Yum Yum Sauce or, I'm sorry, seven Bridges Sauces, which has just went to press with his first batch of sauces, has said that he would be more than happy to buy an ad spot on our show. What, what? That is Seven Bridges Sauces based out of Minneapolis, minnesota, and this first sauce that has been unveiled is Yum Yum Sauce. And how is the Yum Yum Sauce? Is it yummy? Yeah, dude, I've been eating it for the last six and a half years on a most daily basis.

Speaker 1: 21:32

Okay, what would you put a Yum Yum Sauce on? What do you put Yum Yum Sauce?

Speaker 2: 21:35

on Typically fried rice. I've also tossed wings in it as well.

Speaker 3: 21:38

And it works well with wings.

Speaker 2: 21:40

It gives it a nice little twang to it, okay, what would you put it on the heat index scale? Yeah, super low, it's miles Hell. Okay, all right, there's no spice to it, it's just a little flavorful.

Speaker 1: 21:51

So I would love to put that on some sushi. I think I'll get you a bottle, send it to you. Okay, and swings.

Speaker 3: 22:05

That sounds I. You know them. I will put them on wings. That's awesome. So can I drizzle it on my shoulder and lick it can?

Speaker 2: 22:09

Not that there's. Yeah, that'll be, yep, yep, that would be, actually, that would be September.

Speaker 1: 22:30

That would be.

Speaker 2: 22:30

September. Why September? Is that when Gemini season is Cause? Gemini is the twins.

Speaker 3: 22:40

Actually I think it's Virgo which would be kind of the opposite of Wolf.

Speaker 1: 22:42

You know what this Actually?

Speaker 3: 22:43

I think it's Virgo, which would be kind of the opposite. You know what You're going to have to do a lot of editing.

Speaker 1: 22:46

I'm not editing any of this. Where can you find this yum yum sauce, Phil?

Speaker 2: 22:51

Where can people buy this. I'm telling you, it just came off of the rack today. Not even on the racks, it just got bottled. Today the first batch got bottled.

Speaker 1: 22:59

Okay.

Speaker 2: 22:59

I got a video of sauces being squirted into bottles and stuff and I was like yo. That's awesome, so as soon as we know where it's available and when. I'm pretty sure Amazon is going to be one of those locations that you can purchase it, and I do know that they've got an Instagram page, which is Seven Bridges Sauces, that you can follow and look for updates on there, but we're going to be swimming in sauces soon.

Speaker 3: 23:18

Sweet yeah, I'm always on the lookout for a good sauce.

Speaker 1: 23:23

Everybody loves sauce Me too and especially like wing sauce man. I love wing and we eat a lot of rice. I eat a lot of sushi.

Speaker 3: 23:31

I love yum yum sauce on my sushi. Is it good on white?

Speaker 1: 23:33

rice too. It's good on all kinds.

Speaker 3: 23:34

What I like to do, because we had Chinese over the weekend and what I like to do is I like to get that hot with the pot stickers. Oh, you know, with the chili flakes in it and I just put that in my in my rice and just mix it all up.

Speaker 2: 23:46

Yeah, that's good. Yeah, I said do some of that too. What's up? I said I can send you some chili crunch oil too, while I'm at it. Oh no, I don't want no it doesn't need to be congested, that stuff's perfect. Oh yeah, I eat wasabi for that. For that reason, I just snort wasabi for that. Just rails, fat rails of wasabi just right up the left nostril quick, quick, fun story about wasabi.

Speaker 1: 24:13

so, uh, I was out to eat this was in college and I was out to eat with my parents. They came, took me out to eat and, uh, and my dad likes to play tricks on me, so but my dad doesn't, you know, he didn't really eat at a lot of Asian restaurants and I told him that that is really so what's that? It was wasabi. And I said, oh, you just pick that up and eat it. It's delicious, it's so good. And he popped it in his mouth and, like a lot of swear words were said at me and I laughed really hard. It was very funny. That does sound funny. Yeah, he was not happy with me. Uh, he ended up drinking my wine, though, so I guess that you know, because his mouth was burning.

Speaker 1: 24:52

Anyway, cool, I'm excited that we have a new sponsor, so very cool. Uh, let's move on to uh games that are coming out next week. So this is for the week of the. Well, by the time you listen to this, it'll be the eighth through the 13th. So on the 9th April 9th, on Tuesday, we have Botany Manor that's coming out on Xbox Series X and S, xbox One Switch and PC.

Speaker 2: 25:19

Game Pass.

Speaker 1: 25:20

Yeah, I think it is coming on Game Pass, isn't it it is? Children, yes, yeah, I think it is coming on game pass, isn't it? It is? Uh, children of the sun is also coming out on the 9th on pc, and then also on the 9th is a gigantic rampage edition, that's playstation 5, xbox series x and s, playstation 4, xbox one and pc, and then inkbound is also coming out on april 9th on the pc. On april 10th we have flip house, flipper 2.

Speaker 2: 25:46

Oh, let me tell you about house flipper 2?

Speaker 1: 25:49

that's going out on playstation 5, xbox, series x and s. That's on the 10th, on the 11th, uh, a game that I'm very looking forward to is called let's revolution. That's coming out on playstation 5, xbox, series x and s, playstation 4, x and Switch. That's on the 11th of April, and if you want to hear more about that game, you can go to GamerHeadsPodcastcom where you can read my preview of that game. I got to preview it at PAX East, and then Slave 0X. That's coming out on the Switch on April 11th.

Speaker 1: 26:19

So it's kind of a smaller week, but there's a couple games on here that are pretty exciting. So, let's Revolution I'll just briefly mention that here. Like that game, if you've always wanted to play Minesweeper and you wanted to try to enjoy Minesweeper, but you just can't get into it, this is a much better version of that game. I hate Minesweeper, but I love this game. It's a puzzle game and you fight against villains and you try and take down the king and, uh, every level is uh, procedurally generated, so every game feels a little bit different and you can unlock new characters as well. It's very fun. It's a very fun game, and I will say that whoever runs their social media. Apparently the king himself uh has, uh, has, uh has, uh. Whenever I said nice things about the game, he uh shakes his fist at me, saying stop trying to overthrow my kingdom. So, uh, it's very funny. Yeah, so those are the games that are coming out next week, mike can we talk about a game?

Speaker 3: 27:25

It's your show, man, it's your show. Depends on how on I am.

Speaker 1: 27:31

but go ahead, okay, all right. Well, I mean, here's the thing, you're a busy person.

Speaker 3: 27:35

Yes.

Speaker 1: 27:36

You're doing all the things.

Speaker 3: 27:39

I am busy, man. I'm off tonight, but go ahead.

Speaker 1: 27:43

Yeah, I'm busy um, I got man. I'm off tonight, but go ahead. Yeah, I'm busy, but you have this uncanny ability to just be able to review a game based on the title of the game, which is really amazing.

Speaker 3: 27:52

That's yes. It took took many, many days of honing these skills yeah yeah, and being busy yeah, I know.

Speaker 1: 28:01

Uh, can you tell us more about gigantic ramp Rampage Edition? What is this game about?

Speaker 3: 28:06

Well, I told, wait a second.

Speaker 2: 28:08

This is the largest crock of shit that I've ever been a part of in my entire life. This is absolute garbage, Roger.

Speaker 1: 28:16

Was that on the episode that didn't air? Didn't air.

Speaker 2: 28:19

It's the episode that should have aired that you refused to air because you thought that we don't know how to show by ourselves. This is absolute hogwash.

Speaker 1: 28:27

Here's the thing here's the thing I had. I actually had. Here's the thing. I know you guys were recording it. I started listening, but then I had a right. I was like, oh shoot, I have a lot of things right at the right and I actually took my headphones off. So I'm sorry, I actually didn't listen to the show when you guys went to this part. I am so sorry.

Speaker 2: 28:42

You should have listened to it when you uploaded it. Yeah, give it to the fans. Give the people what they want, which is the Mike and Phil show.

Speaker 1: 28:48

Okay, well, you know what, we'll hold on to it. You know what I'll cut it out of that episode.

Speaker 3: 28:53

Give it to our Patreons. Yeah, I'll throw it out.

Speaker 1: 28:54

You know what we're going to throw. Talked about this game.

Speaker 2: 29:01

Holy shit, why do I come here every week? We just lost our sponsor already. Roger, I just got a text from my brother.

Speaker 1: 29:12

Now we know that was us. Okay, we'll put that on Patreon. So that way, patreon, so you can listen to that there. Yeah, wow, I want to listen to it too. How did you talk about that two weeks ago, when this game's coming out this week?

Speaker 2: 29:27

Because we did the entire month, because we're a bunch of assholes and you were yelling at us via the chat saying we've done this before.

Speaker 1: 29:33

That is true. That part I do remember because you went through every game, every game, and I'm like that's not how we do this.

Speaker 2: 29:41

We have a lot of time to fill when you're not here to talk, when it's just Mike and I who don't really say much and we let you do your thing we had to find a way to kill five minutes and that's how we killed those five minutes.

Speaker 3: 29:52

That's right. Yeah, we had to wing it.

Speaker 1: 29:56

You know what goes good on wings right Seven Bridges, yum Yum Sauce, that's right.

Speaker 3: 30:04

Who just pulled their sponsorship due to your lack of listening to mike and I tell you, I think that's the fastest we've ever lost all right, moving on, moving on.

Speaker 1: 30:15

We're gonna move on to games.

Speaker 2: 30:17

If you've ever wondered why I drink so much during this show just pay attention.

Speaker 1: 30:24

Oh man, okay, Games that we're currently playing. Wow, mike, what games are you currently playing?

Speaker 3: 30:33

So I played a little bit more of the Tomb Raider game because I realized that there was a DLC I'm not going to say DLC, what does it matter with me. There was no DLC back in 96. But when Tomb Raider came out for the PC, there was an extra level that they added to it and I didn't realize that. So I fired it up and so.

Speaker 3: 30:54

I was playing some of that, so it was like an extra stage on the final or an extra level on the final stage, but it takes place towards the end of the story and Tomb Raider one. So I did that. And then I also played the tutorial where she's running around her, her house doing all sorts of backflips and stuff, cause there's an achievement for it. Of course there is. I played. I played some more MLB the show. I played some more MLB the Show and because I am a filthy, filthy achievement hunter, I played a few games against my son so that way I could get a triple and so that way I could load the bases and then get three straight strikeouts to end the inning, which is an achievement. So I cheated my way into getting some achievements. So, phil, if you want some easy achievements, just hit me up.

Speaker 1: 31:50

We could play a game. He's a son. Apparently he throws his son under the bus for you.

Speaker 3: 31:54

Or you can, or me, I don't mind, I'll throw myself under the bus. I only have three achievements left in that game, and those are two of them.

Speaker 2: 31:58

Really, oh really Well, there you go.

Speaker 3: 32:00

So just let me know and I can, you know I can, I can help you out. Uh, played some more fall guys, you know, because just to just to waste some time, uh, let's see. And oh, I played some, uh, pga 2K23.

Speaker 2: 32:15

I got a hole in one. Last week I saw you were playing on Sunday night and I almost crashed your party. Why didn't you crash?

Speaker 3: 32:18

it. Well, even if you did, you wouldn't be able to talk unless you were on Discord, because we chat on Discord. Okay, so you need Discord. Wait, who?

Speaker 1: 32:27

are you chatting with on Discord?

Speaker 3: 32:28

I have Discord, you don't need to worry about that, Roger.

Speaker 1: 32:30

You don't golf?

Speaker 3: 32:32

Hold on, you guys all have your own little group party things going on and I don't get invited to any of this. We have our own podcast on the side.

Speaker 1: 32:41

Well, that would surprise, probably better than this podcast it's called the head of the gamer table that's right is Roman Reigns in that yeah, doink.

Speaker 3: 32:54

Is though Doink the gamer, that's right no, it's just me and some of the old controller throwers people. Oh okay, so that's right. No, it's just. It's just me and some of the old controller throwers people. Oh okay yeah so, uh, that's it. That was the most abrupt ending to that second. That's it, that's it, that's it.

Speaker 1: 33:16

Uh, you know what? No, I'm gonna call this out, hold on but wait, there's more.

Speaker 3: 33:20

Um, I played, uh, I played more of that jigsaw. Uh, mic, you know what? That's a game. That's a fun game. I play it every day because, once again, if you play a PC game every day, you get 30 Microsoft points. So I play Microsoft Jigsaw on my computer for 10 minutes, do my daily challenge and then I'm done. Nice, very relaxing.

Speaker 1: 33:41

Very cool, phil. What have you been playing?

Speaker 2: 33:44

very relaxing, very cool phil, what have you been playing? Well, I'm gonna start with the easy one. I've only played about 45 minutes of it, but I've enjoyed the 45 minutes that I played so far of it.

Speaker 1: 33:55

It is lego 2k drive oh I wanted that was on sale oh, it was on game pass. I thought it was on sale too, and I know it was on sale, but now it's on game pass. I gotta play that game yeah, it's.

Speaker 2: 34:05

Uh, it's a racing. Thought it was on sale too. I know it was on sale, but now it's on Game Pass. I gotta play that game. Yeah, it's a racing game. It's kind of like Legos meet Forza meet Mario Kart. Yep, I'm going to stick with that. It's pretty slickly executed because you have three different vehicles out of the gates and as you switch terrain, the vehicle automatically switches, which is kind of cool. Like you don't lose momentum. So like if you're driving on the road and then you go off the road and you go into a field you then jump onto like an off-road vehicle which then if you hit like a lake, river, pond, you turn into a boat and then it just like flips automatically between all three of them, which is really cool.

Speaker 3: 34:37

That's cool. So like that Sonic All-Stars racing game or something almost.

Speaker 2: 34:50

I'm going gonna just say sure, because I don't know they did that the vehicles would transform into some. Never mind, I'll be quiet. No, you can, I'm intrigued. No, too late, okay. Um, it's an open world racing game, much like ford says. We go, stumble across challenges throughout the course of the world, you get rivals. You can build new cars out of legos. Obviously, like I said, I haven't spent too much time with it, but my time that I've had so far far I've enjoyed with it, so I do plan on putting more time into it. Of course, I have played a lot more MLB the Show, even though I quit playing MLB the Show. But then the new one came out. So I started playing MLB the Show and I played a lot of it. We're not going to discuss that, and then just tonight and over the course of the last week, but just tonight.

Speaker 2: 35:26

I exactly how much I hate myself and myself and my friend andy finished up justice league kill the suicide squad. How are you doing? Um, pretty much avoiding all side missions and just mainlining through this main story, which the main story is so, so well written, brought me to tears with laughter on multiple occasions, including the time that you kill the flash. When you kill the flash, it might be the funniest thing I've ever seen in a video game. Uh, I should probably just send you guys the clip on youtube so you don't have to suffer through the actual game itself, which is the drizzling shits. Yeah, um, but season one just came out and it's got the joker in it where you can now, I think, play as the joker.

Speaker 2: 35:53

So we were trying to finish setups that way we could check out this new joker content. Even though I think I went on a rant moderately recently here about how I'm over the joker, you did. I'm intrigued enough that I'll check it out, um, but it recommended you play through the entire story mode before you get into that. So we finished the story mode and I said you want to jump into this joker stuff? And andy said, uh, in very unmixed terms I've already uninstalled this fucking game in the middle of the credits rolling. I am so over this piece of shit game. I don't know what they were thinking pretty much. End quote uh, the game's a fucking disaster. Sorry about all the f-bombs tonight, but it's just kind of the way that it is. The like it's not, it's kind of fun, but it is. There are three missions in the game and I'm not exaggerating. I say there's three missions in the game. It's either escort the payload, uh, kill all the robots, or that might be it.

Speaker 2: 36:50

Well, I thought there's only one mission to kill justice league well, yeah, and then there's the boss battles and those are kind of fun, but they're also very convoluted. The gunplay is super convoluted as well and, like I said, the structure of the game as I said three, four months ago and originally came out it's just so disjointed where each of your quote-unquote missions are five minutes long and it pulls you out to a screen that gives you the recap. And it did. They didn't fix that at all and it's just. But the story itself is super fun and super funny and well written, and if they just would have given us that game. It's also really short. If you just mainline the main story, I would say it's a five-hour game maybe, which is unfortunate, but it is what it is. I finished it. I can say that I finished it. I feel worse about myself for finishing it, but I feel good about the fact that I actually paid money for it and I finished the game. So I'm totally cool with it.

Speaker 1: 37:37

Yeah, that makes me sad, though, because I know that you and andy were really looking forward to this game super stoked, stoked, yeah, especially coming off of Gotham Knights. You're both like I can't wait.

Speaker 2: 37:49

You were Gotham Knights sucked as well, I know, and so Suicide Squad can't be worse.

Speaker 1: 37:53

Yeah, I know, I remember, and I remember saying well, I want to play too, I want to play as like Harley Quinn, I'll play as Harley Quinn. And you were like no, you don't want to play this game. I'm just like you don't want to play this game and that made me really sad. That cause, like I mean, I love I listen I'm more of a Marvel guy than DC guy. I know comic book wise, I think, phil, you're more of a DC guy than than Marvel guy.

Speaker 2: 38:26

So really looking forward to this game, and uh, and it makes me sad for you because I know how much you were really excited for this game when your pedigree before it is all the arkham games and the joy that is the arkham games. And even the worst of the arkham games being not arkham knight, arkham origins is pretty decent, shoulders above suicide squad, yeah, like, and it's it not. I can't say that it's a bad game. It's a game that doesn't make any sense and again, the writing that it is so, so, so good. Like king shark is amazing in the game, captain boomerang fantastic at the game, harley quinn above average in the game. Dead shots just kind of there, no sense of humor to him, so it doesn't really matter. But like the banter between all of them is outstanding and the cut scenes are incredible and so well done.

Speaker 2: 39:09

Where, if they just would have given us that style of a game, sort of a games as a service game, I would be singing the praises of this game from the highest mountain.

Speaker 2: 39:16

And instead they gave us a games as a service game with repetitive bullshit missions with no real point to it and they kind of only explain a lot of things to you once.

Speaker 2: 39:23

Like there's enemies that you can't even hurt unless you do a certain thing to them. It only tells you the one time how to do the certain thing to them and since we had taken a couple of months off the game, neither one of us could remember how to hurt the enemies that were invincible. And it turns out you just have to hold down the right trigger button instead of tap the right trigger button you like. Hold it down, then you hit them with an elemental effect it breaks their shields and you can kill them. But it was again only talked about once and it was so disappointed. But I'm gonna mess around with it and play around the joker stuff and I'm gonna do a bunch of side quests because I'm an achievement whore, so it'll all be okay in the end. Maybe I mean I'm not gonna like myself anymore for doing it, but I'm not gonna dislike myself I was gonna say you like yourself less for playing that game?

Speaker 2: 40:02

no, that's pretty much impossible. Okay, that's okay fair. Uh, on the bright side, in the world of achievements, I am up 410 achievement points from last week, so I'm still keeping a pretty good clip over the course of the over the course of the year yeah, very nice.

Speaker 1: 40:16

Uh, any other games?

Speaker 2: 40:19

I mean I played a little bit of overwatch, but that doesn't count, because it's overwatch, it's kind of like mlb the show. It doesn't count, I just play them.

Speaker 1: 40:25

Um no, I don't think so okay, well, it's a good thing that mike and I have, uh, some games. The other pick to pick between one of us. You'll have another game next week um, how am I?

Speaker 1: 40:36

supposed to play the show? Well, that's a good question. Uh, for myself. Uh, I've been playing quite a few games. Uh, the first one I'll mention is a game that I got to try at pax east, uh, and that is called world of grim. I think I mentioned it last week but I'll mention again because I've been playing a lot of this. Um, so, world of grim is a deck builder game similar to marvel, snap and uh, but it's a really quick game. But this is like about the game because you can play it in like two minutes and it's all the grim characters and like brothers, grim fairy tale stuff, yeah, yeah, uh. And it's cool because the art in the game is really good and they have commissioned artists to do variants of the different cards. And I got one variant from PAX East because they gave me a variant card. I'll show you because you'll see it, but nobody else can see it. But you can watch me stream this game too.

Speaker 1: 41:45

I got Rapunzel, a futuristic rapunzel, oh, right on, yeah, um, so, yeah, each card has their own abilities. Rapunzel's is that when you play her, she steals a character from that same realm. There's three realms. She steals an enemy character from that realms and pulls it to your side. Um, and the whole point of the game is to get more attack points in each round than your opponent, and if you get two of the three realms you win. And I will say I mean I've been playing this quite a bit. I think I'm like level 20, late 20s, early 30s now, and I probably only lost maybe less than a handful of games which I'm very proud of.

Speaker 2: 42:18

So you're saying you're overpowered. I'm saying you need to be nerfed.

Speaker 1: 42:21

Phil, I'm saying I'm very good at the game. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2: 42:24

You need to be nerfed.

Speaker 1: 42:25

It's a strategy game, phil. It's a strategy game, nerfed, but I did get the chance to talk to the developers as well and if you haven't had a chance to listen to that, that is uh on our site so you can go to gamerheadspodcastcom to listen to that uh. Another game that I've been playing is beat slayer. I mentioned that earlier, but, uh, that review should be up on the site by the time you hear this. That is a uh. It's like hades in a sense, that you know you go through different levels, you collect different upgrades in the levels, but then you can also collect XP, go back to your base and then you level up your character with the XP that you get. And it's pretty, it's cool. This game is so interesting. So you do more damage. When you're on beat, you go into this dance trance thing. It's a German word. I'm not gonna even try to pronounce it because it takes place in Berlin Dance Trance Revolution yeah, sprockets.

Speaker 1: 43:20

Sprockets, sprockets, and it takes place in the future. There's a rogue AI that's trying to take over the world, led by Dietrich, who is like this evil guy. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2: 43:37

Dietrich wasn't.

Speaker 1: 43:38

Sprorockets, wasn't it? Yeah, I think so yeah, I am dita.

Speaker 1: 43:40

Yeah, um, it's really good. I I like I said when I played the demo, I wasn't that big of a fan of the game. It just didn't click with me and then I got the review code and I started playing it and something happened. It just clicked and I'm really enjoying this game a lot. So that is beat slayer. Uh, the other game that I've been playing is another game that I got to play at pax west and that's called biomorph. This game is so good, this game is so good. This game is a. How good is it? It's so good. Uh, it's a.

Speaker 1: 44:13

It's a metrovania game that looks like a cartoon. So you, your character, you play. When you beat up a character, when you beat up an enemy, you can morph into them and take on their abilities and then some, and then you can use their abilities to get through different areas. Like one might be a big, like burly guy or like burly big monster thing. You smash through bricks and get through there. The animation is so good and they and the artwork is so good. And then there's cut scenes. It just looks like a saturday morning cartoon. It reminds me very much of a saturday morning cartoon. Um, there's some cool caveats with this game. If you uh, the more you morph into an and the same kind of enemy, the more powerful you get as the enemy, but also it spawns more enemies as well. So there's kind of risk and rewards for that and it's story driven. It's a Metrovania. It's really good it is. Yeah, mike, this is like right up your alley.

Speaker 3: 45:09

What'd you play it on?

Speaker 1: 45:12

Right now I'm playing on a PC, but it's on. It is out now on the uh and maybe xbox as well. I'm not sure. I'm not. I can't. I can't say that for sure, but I know for switch and pc, um, but it's. When I played this game, mike, I was thinking of you it is on xbox okay, yeah, and it actually comes out today yeah, yeah, it's, it's, it's really good, like, like, I can't. I I'm writing my review for that as well.

Speaker 3: 45:41

Oh, I'm looking at a gif of it and that looks smooth, baby yeah it is, yeah, it is so good. Let me add it to my.

Speaker 1: 45:52

There, you go.

Speaker 1: 45:52

Wishlist there you go. So that is biomorph. The wish list there you go, um, so that is biomorph. Uh, the other thing that I just want to mention, too, is that I've been working really hard at putting articles up of all the packs east games that I played, um, so you can go to the gamerheadspodcastcom and read all these articles that I've been writing.

Speaker 1: 46:11

Uh, I will say this thank goodness for magic mind, because if I didn't have Magic Mind, I would be like I don't want to sit down after a full day of work and write any of this stuff. Uh, magic Mind seriously gives me the energy and the creativity to actually write these articles and it's fun. I'm enjoying myself writing these articles. But I'm gonna tell you, I don't think I don't think I would have as much fun, uh, or the energy to do this, if it wasn't for magic mine. So, uh, I will plug this here, because they are a sponsor for us as well. Uh, you can go to our website at our.

They're writing all these articles helps me get through the day and really long days at work. It's really hard coming back to a full day at work when you're gone for a full week. I realized that I didn't realize how hard that was going to be until I came back. So, yeah, check that out. That's pretty much all the games I've been playing. Let's move on to our final topic then. Phil. We each have a game that we want to pitch to you, and you, being the CEO, have to decide which one of these games you're going to pick and play. Now, both of these games are on game pass, so we're not, you know, so you're not gonna spend any money outside of your subscription for game pass, obviously. So, mike, do you want to go first?

Speaker 1: 49:58

It happens to be jill groats, probably her favorite game, and if she's gonna be a guest on our show coming up here either next week or the week after, you're gonna have to tell her why you didn't pick this game, and I'm gonna make you tell her why you haven't decided yet. I'm just telling you if you don't pick this game, you're gonna have to explain to her why you didn't pick this game.

Speaker 2: 50:17

I might pick it, just so I can hate it and shit all over Jill's favorite game.

Speaker 1: 50:59

I'll you this, phil, if it if it really so I'm gonna give a here's my counter argument okay, okay.

Speaker 3: 51:05

This is why you should pick my game instead of roger's game.

Speaker 1: 51:08

Tunic is on the switch but evil west not on the switch I'm just saying that if you don't pick this game, phil, you're going to have to explain to Jill why you didn't pick this game. Can the answer?

Okay, you don't have to forget this name, trust me.

Speaker 3: 51:42

Speaker 1: 51:48

Okay, okay, here's one. Here's one. I don't know if you played this game before, phil. Here's a different one. Okay, that's not much. Okay, this is the definitive edition of the groundbreaking role-playing game. You are a detective with a unique skill system at your disposal and a whole city block to carve your own path across. A whole block, yeah, a whole city block.

Speaker 3: 52:28

That's the end of the description. That's all you got. That's all I got. That's it. Hold on hold on this game is really good that's all that's. Is that in the description, or is that?

You'll be like I can't believe I would have. I. I almost turned this game down, like how foolish of me. I'm so glad I didn't turn this game down. Thank you, roger. You have opened my eyes to a fantastic game. I became a disastrous human being in this game and I'll be like, yeah, see, and you're like, yeah, I could have been a hero, but I decided not to be.

Speaker 1: 53:10

I didn't need the game for that well, and that's not true, phil, that don't. Don't say that that's not true. You are a fantastic human being me anyway uh, what's the name of the game?

Speaker 2: 53:21

roger disco elysium, oh shit all right now you just so you know.

Speaker 3: 53:27

I think disco elysium is also on the switch it is.

Speaker 1: 53:32

You told me to look up dacu deals. This was a dacu.

Speaker 3: 53:35

This is like dacuu Deal has Xbox games. So, you're going to have to play it on the Switch, because that's the one Roger called out. Hold on, hold on. No, that's the version Roger called you can play it on the Xbox.

Speaker 1: 53:46

I'm just saying I don't know if it's on Game Pass though. But it certainly is like 11 bucks right now.

Speaker 2: 53:53

Hmm, $11?.

Speaker 3: 54:00

Free. Yeah, like okay, $11.99. Mine's $12.

Speaker 1: 54:03

I'll send you $12.

Speaker 2: 54:08

I'll send you $12 not to get it. Use the Switch or use the Xbox.

Speaker 1: 54:12

Why you can buy it on the Xbox. You can buy it on the Xbox.

Speaker 2: 54:21

I love how we're trying to win his approval.

Speaker 1: 54:24

That's the best.

Speaker 2: 54:25

Disco Elysium? Definitely, if I was a dog, my ears would have went up. It's like somebody rattling the treat box. But, roger, I'm going to have to stick with Evil West. Well, good thing because it's not on the xbox actually so it's not on it at all no, it's not see.

Speaker 3: 54:44

I gave the fake out, see, so there, that's right, that's why it?

Speaker 1: 54:50

was actually sounds pretty cool too, I'm not gonna lie, but it's very good disco.

Speaker 3: 54:54

I'm actually surprised that this disco elysium is not on the Switch it is on the Switch.

Speaker 1: 54:59

It's not on the Xbox.

Speaker 3: 55:00

Wait, oh, disco Elysium is not on the Xbox, so you would have been forced to play it on the Switch, correct?

Speaker 1: 55:05

That was the rub, or the PlayStation 5.

Speaker 3: 55:12

That's the rub. I like how your voice just that was. That was great. I agree with you 100%, by the way. I go for that you know.

Speaker 1: 55:26

What Disco? Elysium or your game.

Speaker 3: 55:28

No, the voice when you talk about PC and PS5.

Speaker 2: 55:30

Oh, Actually, when you talk about the Switch, you should sound like a snot-nosed kid.

Speaker 1: 55:40

Okay, well, evil West. That's on Game Pass. I'll give it a go. That actually sounds pretty cool and you can play co-op.

Speaker 3: 55:45

You can play co-op, yeah, co-op online.

Speaker 1: 55:47

It's already downloaded. How many? Oh, you just download it right now, or have you? I already did?

Speaker 2: 55:53

I downloaded it when a game pass, I just haven't fired it up yet how many people can play online with that game?

Speaker 3: 55:59

I think it's only two.

Speaker 1: 56:01

Is this a top-down game?

Speaker 3: 56:02

I didn't quite catch that it's like a Gears game, like a Gears of War almost.

Speaker 1: 56:08

Oh, it is Okay oh okay, yeah, I mean Congratulations. Congratulations.

Speaker 3: 56:17

I think, now that I got back to make victories, I think whatever, let's just have Roger, you can pick the next one for him no, no, no that's not how this works.

Speaker 1: 56:25

No, no, I'm gonna win one of these. Don't just give me a victory.

Speaker 3: 56:29

That's bullshit, man alright, fine, next time I'll pick Disco Elysium then.

Speaker 1: 56:37
