00:00.880 --> 00:02.965
Gentlemen, do you know what day it is?

00:03.425 --> 00:04.165
Friday.

00:06.785 --> 00:07.845
Today on.

00:26.585 --> 00:28.485
I thought it was Halloween.

00:29.375 --> 00:32.231
I thought so, too, but I was wrong.

00:32.383 --> 00:34.087
No, It's Friday the 13th.

00:34.191 --> 00:35.607
I'm wrong. Over the intro.

00:35.711 --> 00:38.075
Don't fuck up your horror movies. Over the intro.

00:38.535 --> 00:39.795
Over the intro.

00:41.215 --> 00:50.503
All right, welcome, everybody, to another episode of Press B to cancel your favorite podcast on Friday the 13th.

00:50.679 --> 00:52.115
It's a killer show.

00:53.415 --> 01:13.231
Yeah, if you can't tell. We're talking Friday the 13th. But no, we are not talking the day. We are not talking the movie series. We are talking the absolutely, epically wonderful, lovely nes game from 1989. Friday the 13th.

01:13.263 --> 01:22.829
I was going to say we're talking about Friday 13th, the good version of the game, because there are two. But then I realize maybe it's not a good version. I don't know if that exists.

01:23.007 --> 01:31.817
Look, look, don't spoil the show yet. I'm trying to lead people down the path of excitement before we dash.

01:31.921 --> 01:37.153
This could be as good as Circus Charlie. What am I thinking? This could be a fantastic retro hidden gem.

01:37.329 --> 01:40.325
It sure is. It sure is.

01:40.985 --> 01:46.965
If there's any game that this correlates, the best to is definitely Circus Charlie can confirm.

01:48.385 --> 02:07.465
Second only to balloon fight. But I'm not alone, everybody. I'm never alone. So alone. I'm joined by three of my friends, fellow podcast hosts, and lovely human beings. Werewolf, how are you today?

02:08.725 --> 02:12.025
I am well, like Jason, I am back again.

02:12.565 --> 02:16.545
Ah. And Chardmonk, how are you?

02:17.925 --> 02:25.145
I'm okay. It was a long day today, but I'm happy to talk about a terrible game. The one game that I will not gush about this year, probably.

02:25.885 --> 02:32.197
All right. And I'm joining my Canadian friend wearing my toque Sick Jason.

02:32.221 --> 02:43.185
Is that what we're doing? Okay. All right. There you go. I got some bedhead. I can cover it up. I'm doing great. But what's that first rule of horror movies? Never go out alone. I'll make sure I never go out alone.

02:45.375 --> 02:50.359
You ride back. Isn't it don't have sex. Isn't that the first.

02:50.487 --> 02:54.035
I am married, so that doesn't happen anymore. Right. That's how that works.

02:56.175 --> 03:01.875
Wow. Okay. Well, he might not be married after this episode.

03:02.215 --> 03:03.751
He doesn't watch our show.

03:03.823 --> 03:04.183
All right.

03:04.239 --> 03:06.315
None of our spouses watch this show.

03:08.255 --> 03:11.475
Mine might be in chat right now, actually.

03:12.635 --> 03:13.211
Cheers.

03:13.283 --> 03:17.619
My wife does tune in for our bracket episodes. Only those.

03:17.787 --> 03:18.299
Okay.

03:18.387 --> 03:20.835
She likes. She likes the infighting, does she?

03:20.875 --> 03:21.683
She likes the anger.

03:21.739 --> 03:22.855
Yeah, she does.

03:25.675 --> 03:27.227
Are we all Canadian now?

03:27.371 --> 03:30.095
Yeah, she's all those. Get heated. I Watch those ones.

03:30.675 --> 03:44.097
Nice. All right, so we are talking a game released in 1989 by LGN, developed by Atlus. Friday the 13th, a video game on the NES, not the one that came.

03:44.121 --> 04:03.065
Out in 2017, which actually shuts down this month. I just saw that today. It ends at. Servers shut down at the end of December, which is kind of interesting. So the NES version continues on. Were you guys surprised to hear that it was developed by Atlas? I had no idea that Atlas is the one who created this game.

04:03.225 --> 04:04.883
I kind of was.

04:05.049 --> 04:12.595
I was actually. Yeah. And Atlas Japan, and then it was never released in Japan.

04:13.535 --> 04:20.735
Is this the same Atlas that did everybody's favorite RPGs, Persona? Yes.

04:20.855 --> 04:22.199
Yes, this is Atlas.

04:22.327 --> 04:43.491
One of the testers on the Friday 13th NES game ended up being one of the guys who created Shin Megani Tensei, which is what led to Persona. Yeah. So totally the same company. It's wild. Apparently the producer of this one was one of the founders of Atlas, and he was working on eight games at the same time or something, so just his workload was full.

04:43.643 --> 04:45.935
Well, he certainly wasn't working on this one.

04:47.115 --> 04:48.335
Well, I wanted to.

04:48.675 --> 04:51.051
A side project I kind of wanted.

04:51.083 --> 05:10.843
To start because we start from a place of lgn. And lgn, to my recollection, only has one game that I would probably call a pass, and that. That, to me would be Jaws. If GP is what is playing.

05:10.899 --> 05:18.883
I was gonna say Jaws. Jaws is. Jaws is not a bad game. It's just criminally short for the money that you would have paid for it. But I think Jaws is a fine game.

05:19.019 --> 05:21.055
You get to fly away in a biplane.

05:21.435 --> 05:29.563
Well, Friday the 13th brings back some of that Jaws mechanic in that you're constantly fighting the final boss of the game.

05:29.619 --> 05:30.931
That's fair. Yeah, yeah.

05:31.083 --> 05:35.027
And you only bring him down chunk by chunk, and he runs off.

05:35.171 --> 05:43.587
Yeah. You have to defeat him. Spoiler, everybody. You have to defeat him three times, and sometimes he runs away before you can defeat him.

05:43.771 --> 05:44.699
Sometimes.

05:44.867 --> 05:45.487
Like most of the time.

05:45.501 --> 05:49.827
Well, yeah, most of the time. Yeah. Okay.

05:49.851 --> 05:55.875
If you were coming at me with a knife, I'd probably run from you too. So Hockey Mask or no.

05:56.035 --> 06:18.187
Right, right. So now, lgn, I watched a few videos. I don't have quite the experience with the NES that you all do, but it appears that lgn, from my understanding, actually didn't develop any games of their own. They actually worked with other studios, in this case Atlas, to produce games, and then they just published them.

06:18.291 --> 06:48.529
Yeah, it's always been nebulous. I thought they developed a handful of These again. Maybe that's why I'm so surprised to see Atlas's name attached to this one because it's, it's a, it's a video game. But I think you're, I think they kind of obscured who was developing some of these titles to try and take, you know, full credit of it. I do know that LGM was pushing hard and bringing licensed games to North America. That was kind of their jam for the, for the period. Right. So you had, was a Jaws and Feather Teeth and what else do they have? They, they had a few, I think, licensed properties.

06:48.657 --> 06:49.425
Roger Rabbit.

06:49.465 --> 06:50.449
Yes, Roger.

06:50.577 --> 06:54.365
Roger Rabbit. I thought they did Roger Rabbit. Which is also a God awful game.

06:55.265 --> 06:58.193
Yeah, they did Back to the Future Pictionary.

06:58.329 --> 06:59.245
So bad.

07:01.105 --> 07:02.513
The Karate Kid.

07:02.609 --> 07:10.383
Actually, you know, Karate Kid was not that bad. I, I, well, maybe it's bad. It's, it's better than their other ones.

07:10.569 --> 07:16.131
I felt like, I felt like LGN was highly like into the movie.

07:16.323 --> 07:17.203
It was.

07:17.379 --> 07:20.171
Oh yeah, it was very much licensed games.

07:20.323 --> 07:25.107
Yeah. That they started out with licensed action figures. Right?

07:25.171 --> 07:26.811
Oh really? Is that what they did?

07:27.003 --> 07:30.535
One of their earlier licensed games was just called NFL.

07:32.555 --> 07:34.575
That's my favorite. My favorite.

07:35.605 --> 07:39.085
Yeah. What, what aspect do you play?

07:39.205 --> 07:41.261
Yeah, that's the Rob Low meme.

07:41.413 --> 07:44.557
Are you the, are you the commissioner of, of the NFL?

07:44.621 --> 07:48.545
I mean, what, what's your favorite team? NFL.

07:49.485 --> 07:50.773
Oh, their toys are bad.

07:50.829 --> 07:51.757
I like them all.

07:51.861 --> 07:57.265
They're like, they're like bad knockoff toys. I didn't, I didn't realize they made toys. I thought they just did games.

07:57.845 --> 07:58.229
Yeah.

07:58.277 --> 07:59.093
Oh, wow.

07:59.229 --> 08:01.561
No, that's actually, I think where they started.

08:01.733 --> 08:06.585
Make bad stuff. That's just, that's just, that's what they do.

08:06.625 --> 08:08.497
Have to pull some of this up. That's crazy.

08:08.641 --> 08:15.297
Yeah. Bad toys that are probably worth gargantuan amounts of money for sure.

08:15.361 --> 08:17.417
Yeah, no, sure, sure.

08:17.601 --> 08:58.375
Yeah. Okay. So we know, we know LJN has a, has a, a history and, and yeah, so this was developed by Atlas in Japan, notably has a, like the intro screen to this game sets a, sets a theme that makes you think it might be your good game because it is. The Jason mask. A knife comes and jams itself into the eye. You feel like. Okay, okay, this is legit.

08:59.795 --> 09:14.815
Can I mention something real quick? Most of the time when I first fire up Friday the 13th for the NES, I forget that it does that. So it jump scares me because it's completely quiet. And then you hear the, as the knife flies into the mask.

09:15.635 --> 09:18.571
Yep. I mean it starts with a jump scare. Right.

09:18.643 --> 09:21.295
It jump scared me when I was watching a video about it today.

09:26.205 --> 09:42.705
And then you enter the remainder of this. Of this quality product. All right, so, Chard Monk, I know you've played this. You've played this on stream. Do you want to talk a little bit about this?

09:44.045 --> 10:06.035
I played this a long time ago. I was. I was trying to get set up for some kind of charity event, and it was on a Friday the 13th. So I was like, what a better game to play than Friday 13th. On Friday the 13th. Boy, was I wrong. This game is awful. It's you. You are represented by, I think, six of the camp counselors.

10:06.375 --> 10:07.795
Six camp counselors.

10:08.495 --> 10:54.515
And your job is to find Jason and save the children. Find the children that are hidden amongst the cabins and. And then kill Jason or at least kill him off to do that. But while you're side scrolling and each camp counselor has different, like a different attribute, really noticeable in the jump or in the speed of the character. It's really. The only difference is one, some of them are faster and some of them jump higher. You chase it to this ungodly repetitive music that makes Mario RPG soundtrack sound phenomenal. And then once a child is in danger, you get this really annoying beeping sound.

10:55.335 --> 10:58.447
The Jason. The Jason siren.

10:58.591 --> 11:26.321
Yeah, it's. It's like. It's almost as bad as when Link is almost out of hearts in Legend of Zelda. But instead of being a constant beep, it's a bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop. And you're like, yeah, like your phone's going off or you have an alarm that's going off, and it's just terrible. And so all you want to do is find where this. Where Jason is to shut the sound up. You don't even care if.

11:26.353 --> 11:27.297
You don't care if you save the.

11:27.321 --> 11:28.449
Children at this point.

11:28.497 --> 11:29.873
You just want them to stop screaming.

11:29.929 --> 11:49.333
Just want to stop it. Just want the sound to stop. So are the lamb still screaming, Clarice? And the map is huge. It's a big circle, right? You go around the circle and then there's a forest. But what I don't comprehend in this particular game is why is there. It's zombies or zombies.

11:49.469 --> 11:51.693
I always thought that they were wolf zombies.

11:51.829 --> 11:55.225
They look like Wolfman. They look like Shaggy wolf zombies.

11:55.605 --> 12:00.085
So I have. You want the lore behind these enemies? I have the lore. I actually have the manual pulled up.

12:00.205 --> 12:00.605
Hit me.

12:00.645 --> 12:22.445
Okay, so here's. Here's some of the enemies you can face in Friday 13th on the NES. An LGS LGN classic. There are zombies, which are the mindless undead who are the past victims of one of Jason's murderous rampages. Torch them and you will lose some life energy. But watch out because zombies can appear on land or from underwater. Okay.

12:23.425 --> 12:28.491
Why? Now wait, hold on, hold on. When did Jason become a necromancer?

12:28.633 --> 12:31.815
Well, it's, it's, it's absolutely lore from the movies.

12:31.895 --> 12:35.751
We all remember the zombies and the counselors, I guess.

12:35.863 --> 12:41.663
Clearly he can bring the dead back to life. He does it to himself dozens of times across the movie franchise.

12:41.799 --> 12:43.599
You don't recognize the camp counselor characters.

12:43.647 --> 12:45.503
He's just, he's just sharing such notable.

12:45.559 --> 12:53.555
Counselor characters as George and Chrissy. My favorite, my favorite counselors from the franchise. Laura all.

12:53.945 --> 12:55.125
Yeah, like.

12:57.825 --> 12:59.393
Sounds like a fucking.

12:59.569 --> 13:05.521
Can we continue that onto the. Another character just down and to the right from the zombie.

13:05.553 --> 13:06.685
Jason's mother.

13:07.945 --> 13:27.091
More, more proof that he's a necromancer. Jason's mother. Poor Jason can't bear to part with his mother, even if she has been dead for years. He keeps her ghostly head in the same room where he stores his weapons. A frightening watchdog against anyone fool enough to seek out a secret hideaway.

13:27.203 --> 13:30.187
What is this? Jason Voorhees Bates. Like what?

13:30.251 --> 13:34.107
My favorite movies, right? How many?

13:34.171 --> 13:55.137
Yeah, so one thing I want to point out also is when you like one of the first entries of text that you see says that you need to use the torches to light the fireplace. Fireplaces, which is wrong. The game tells you the wrong information. You actually use the lighters.

13:55.281 --> 13:55.809
Yep.

13:55.897 --> 13:59.885
So torch is also slang for a lighter, I think. I think it's a UK slang word.

14:00.305 --> 14:03.217
Well, but there are torches in the game.

14:03.281 --> 14:04.365
Yeah, you get torches.

14:05.545 --> 14:07.473
They help you see in the caves.

14:07.649 --> 14:09.441
And then there's also flashlights too.

14:09.513 --> 14:59.933
It is something you torch his. So his argument is valid because it's used for something else. Not used for the gate. So. Oh. Anyways, so you're doing the side scrolling, you're jumping over zombies or you're throwing knives or rocks or whatever you have at them. Notable camp counselor Debbie is apparently proficient with knife and dodging. And then you can enter each room and then it turns into like almost a dungeon crawler type thing where you are pressing forward or left and right to look around the room. You find notes, you find weapons, you find lighters, you find items, you find final stuff. Or you find Jason lying in wait to pummel your ass into the ground. Now when you get into a fight, a one on one fight with Jason in the cabins, not in the side scrolling part, you have to dodge, duck, dick, dodge, dive.

15:00.109 --> 15:02.301
That's exactly what that phrase is.

15:02.453 --> 15:26.083
It's just stupid. And so you have to time your dodge from when he punches at you. And then you have to find a window to throw rocks or knives or whatever weapon you have at him. And it is lengthy, it's annoying, and it's tiresome. And then when you finally get the rhythm down, you fall asleep doing it because it's the most boring encounter you could possibly do.

15:26.219 --> 15:29.227
Well. And he runs away, and then he.

15:29.251 --> 15:36.255
Runs away after so many hits. So. And then when you finally kill him, they're like, oh, but Jason's coming back. You're like.

15:37.405 --> 15:43.949
And then he changes his tactics. He actually moves faster on the second day and et cetera, et cetera.

15:43.997 --> 15:49.213
Yeah, he's like, he's like, Jesus has written. And on the second day, Jason was faster.

15:49.309 --> 16:32.207
It's. It's almost like punch out controls kind of. But in order to dodge, you have to do down, down, left, down, right. And on a normal D pad, that never feels right. Like when I played it on, I have an all button stick behind me when I play on that. It's actually not so bad. But trying to play this on a D pad sucks to try and dodge. I kept losing counselors, like when one dies and you have to pick another one and go back to where you were. And I went through like four or five counselors dying this way. And I really wanted to give up until I realized the best way to beat them is you have to get an upgraded weapon, which you get by just standing outside and killing zombies. It's an infinite loop. You just sit there chucking your stones at the zombies for 10 minutes until you have the best gear and then you can usually take down Jason. It's. It's a weird game.

16:32.351 --> 16:50.071
Yep. Weird is a nice way of putting shit. It's not a good game. It's not good. It's. You easily get lost on the map. You'll pull up the map and you'll be like, I need to go to this cabin because that's where the kids screaming from. And in the other side of the map and you're like, how the hell did I get here?

16:50.223 --> 16:56.541
In the side scrolling pieces, if you go left, it actually moves you right.

16:56.703 --> 16:58.753
Yeah. On the map, completely back.

16:58.809 --> 17:48.355
That is bizarre. Yeah. Because you clockwise. If you go left, it's stupid. But you know what? I give it credit for the ambition though, in this, because you do have six counselors and all six are on the map at any given time, and they do move around a little bit. So the idea is you would pick. You would switch to the one that is fast moving and use him to, like, explore the map and search for houses. And then when a child's in danger, you look at where the house is on the map and you would flip to a council that's close to it to go to go after Jason. But you get a little bit strategic with it because if you. If you take too many hits and you have a guy who's low on health, you go to a house which has another counselor, and you give your items to them and you switch to them. So there is some, like, tactical stuff. I mean, it's not saying heavy duty, but the idea of passing items and. Or healing your other counselors and using them to kind of like, scatter on the map, that's pretty ambassador. Ambitious for an NES title.

17:50.385 --> 17:52.649
I just need my counselors to be more qualified.

17:52.777 --> 17:59.833
Look, Mark has plenty of credentials. And in the fighting the undead, he can do basket weaving while making.

17:59.929 --> 18:03.085
Mark was a summer lifeguard. That's it.

18:03.665 --> 18:08.153
Mark. Mark may have credentials, but George is a pile of.

18:08.329 --> 18:13.405
As I say, George doesn't even know cpr. And he probably. He probably died.

18:14.145 --> 18:31.533
Like, the ones that can jump 10ft in the air are the good ones because then you can dodge everything no problem. But there are a couple counselors who can barely hop over a zombie's are the worst to try and explore the map with. They don't get you anywhere. I took more damage jumping, landing on zombies than I did from Jason with those characters. So there's definitely some that suck.

18:31.629 --> 18:49.385
Well, and then you. And then the game trains you to jump over the zombies or over the wolves or whatever. And then you get a good weapon and you're used to jumping over these things and a weapon drops and you jump into it and you lose your good weapon.

18:50.275 --> 18:55.395
Yep. It's the Fester's quest item down like syndrome.

18:55.435 --> 18:56.091
Yes.

18:56.283 --> 19:01.195
Yeah. At least you aren't shooting walls and it's just terminating your bullet.

19:01.355 --> 19:02.175
Yep.

19:04.195 --> 19:35.645
I want to talk a moment about the end game, the death game screen. So this is nes. This is NES that was notorious for not killing people. They were, you know, sleepy or they were retired or they were, you know, subdued or they were whatever. And this, the game over screen, literally is one of the best ever. You and your friends are dead. Game over.

19:37.305 --> 19:40.165
I mean, it's not wrong. That's what it is.

19:43.515 --> 19:49.015
Not to mention, at least. At least it doesn't call out that you Killed all the children.

19:50.155 --> 19:55.723
Yeah, you gotta save. Like, I forget how many. You have to get, like 15 kids.

19:55.779 --> 19:59.483
There's 15. There's 15. But you have to have one alive at the end.

19:59.659 --> 20:02.123
What? You have to. They have to all be not.

20:02.179 --> 20:05.243
You have to just need one paying customer to keep the camp alive.

20:05.419 --> 20:12.595
Hey, you know what? You know, it's a good summer camp if you manage to save one child out of 15.

20:12.975 --> 20:16.871
That's. That was my goal as a camp. Yeah, that was my goal.

20:16.943 --> 20:26.435
Like, I've sent my kids to summer camp a few years now. As long as I get one back, I'm good. I don't. I don't need both to come back. It's okay. Only needs one.

20:27.455 --> 20:28.875
Fight and conquer.

20:32.015 --> 20:39.125
Okay, Talk Jason. Jason is purple with a blue face and hands.

20:39.245 --> 20:39.781
Yes.

20:39.893 --> 21:15.087
So just like movies, right? Yeah. Well, I watched a video that actually talked about this and there was a poster for Friday the 13th three in Japan, and only in Japan, that he has a purple suit. And because of the lighting of the poster, his face and hands look blue. And since this was Atlas developing a game in Japan, they went with it.

21:15.231 --> 21:28.005
I mean, design group member Jason Voorhees, who plays the beer bong. I don't know what the hell he would play as the blue man group, but this game makes no sense.

21:29.705 --> 21:30.265
Yeah.

21:30.345 --> 21:54.831
So also, one of my favorite with the. The icons in this game is the five camp counselors that you have on the screen. The one above children, they are all frowning because they clearly love their job, but in their portrait, they are ecstatic. So it's almost like. And their outward expression of it.

21:54.983 --> 21:56.927
I always thought that was weird.

21:57.111 --> 22:01.735
Yeah, well, and when you see them in the. In the cabins, they have no face.

22:01.815 --> 22:11.915
Yeah, but you know, I've seen those movies and the counselors are usually getting laid. So I mean, that's probably why they're happy. It's either getting drunk, getting laid, getting high, and then dealing with Jason. That's okay.

22:14.615 --> 22:21.431
We all know the rules. We all know the rules. You don't have sex if you're in a horror movie.

22:21.623 --> 22:23.527
And you don't say you'll be right back.

22:23.671 --> 22:30.807
Yeah, yeah. I want to mention one thing. There's actually two game over screens in this game.

22:30.951 --> 22:31.887
Oh, okay.

22:31.991 --> 22:42.915
The other one is if you don't save the children, if the kids all get wiped out, it says, Jason wiped out the kids, game over.

22:45.475 --> 22:46.735
It's like Genesis.

22:47.395 --> 22:48.855
Kids are wiped out.

22:52.195 --> 22:55.735
So there is a screen that talks about how kids died.

22:56.355 --> 23:10.349
Yes. Also, I want to mention in the manual, I Just looked over it. The manual says absolutely nothing about you have three days to do this. It also doesn't say you have to kill Jason three times.

23:10.547 --> 23:10.953
Right.

23:11.009 --> 23:11.721
It's a short summer.

23:11.753 --> 23:17.485
Both of those win conditions are left out of the manual, conveniently.

23:19.185 --> 23:43.891
Yeah. It just says, watch out, Jason's still alive and stronger than before. And he repeats. But you're right since early when you mentioned earlier. He does come back with. He's faster, stronger. I want to say he has a machete in his hand for the second round and I think something else in the third round as well. So he. That's. But that's the loop, right? All right, You. You find Jason, kill him, and do repeat it three times and then eventually you get a weapon. I think that can take him down for good.

23:43.923 --> 23:44.091
It's.

23:44.123 --> 23:45.495
It's the torch, the fire.

23:47.355 --> 23:50.855
Torch or pit for pitchfork do the same amount of damage.

23:51.875 --> 23:56.095
Is that a common thing on a campground? Pitchfork? Really?

23:57.635 --> 23:58.375
No.

23:59.675 --> 24:02.683
What camp did you go to? It's farmers camp.

24:02.859 --> 24:06.255
Gotta learn how to build ye olde barn.

24:06.375 --> 24:06.943
Yeah.

24:07.079 --> 24:21.383
Oh, I want to mention something that I just saw in the video playing in the background, lighting the fireplaces. If you light all the fireplaces with the same character, you get a flashlight.

24:21.519 --> 24:22.395
Oh, wow.

24:23.375 --> 24:26.263
I didn't know that. I don't know.

24:26.319 --> 24:48.825
Flashlight lets you see the secret passages hidden in the background, right in the cave. You don't need the flashlight to use them. You can just wander through the cave and hit up and you'll find your way through the cave, which is how I did it as a kid. I didn't know you could get a flashlight in this. I was like, why am I wandering the darkness in a cave?

24:49.765 --> 24:51.613
And the cave is entirely obvious.

24:51.749 --> 24:55.425
What is the point of the cave? What does that get you? Is that where Jason's mother is?

24:55.805 --> 25:08.869
It's. That's Jason's mother. And you can get. You can get the sweater. If you kill Jason's mother, you can get the sweater. But the problem with the sweater is, well, you still have to.

25:08.917 --> 25:13.029
Why would you have a fucking sweater in the summer? That's the problem.

25:13.197 --> 25:33.009
And the real problem. Yes. And the problem with the sweater also is, I mean, your point is to kill Jason three times. And so the sweater makes it so that Jason won't attack. So basically you're just going to take damage from the zombies and the wolves and the bats.

25:33.177 --> 25:36.049
Is Jason allergic to wool? Is this why he wanted.

25:36.097 --> 25:41.521
Well, it's, it's. It's his mother's sweater. So he, you know, does it make.

25:41.553 --> 25:50.467
It so that he won't attack at all. Or does it just make it so that he doesn't. It might make it so you can't run into him on the. When you're running around.

25:50.611 --> 25:51.387
That might be one of them.

25:51.411 --> 25:52.459
Just in the houses.

25:52.587 --> 26:02.563
Yeah. Which. It is easier to kill him on the side scrolling than it is in the houses so he does less damage.

26:02.739 --> 26:05.115
Somebody wearing a sweater in the middle of summer.

26:05.275 --> 26:09.907
Also, you can only. I looked it up. You can only get the sweater on day two.

26:10.011 --> 26:19.687
That's when it gets chilly out. It says that you wear the sweater and when you wear the sweater, Jason doesn't attack you. So it's not that he wears it and has a, you know, allergic reaction or something.

26:19.791 --> 26:28.023
Right, right, right, right. No, he thinks you're his mom. He's like, mommy, you know, when I.

26:28.039 --> 26:31.119
Put on a sweater, I look exactly like my mother, so.

26:31.167 --> 26:33.951
Well, yeah, I've seen. I can see it.

26:34.103 --> 26:49.265
Yeah. He's a very nice lady. I don't. This, none of this makes sense. This is. This. I, I sometimes wonder if this is the Batman treatment where it was going to be another game and then they were like, yo, we got to put an IP on this. So let's throw Jason in there. You're like, okay, cool.

26:49.605 --> 26:52.541
Oh. I looked up what the sweater does.

26:52.733 --> 26:53.545
Okay.

26:54.645 --> 27:00.225
It increases your defense. Jason won't deal as much damage to the counselor that's wearing it.

27:00.685 --> 27:03.165
I thought it was notable.

27:03.285 --> 27:05.229
Strong fibered sweater.

27:05.397 --> 27:09.145
Kevlar from the 80s. That was a thing still, right? That goes back.

27:10.095 --> 27:10.875
Yeah.

27:12.175 --> 27:13.955
It's made out of Unobtainium.

27:14.615 --> 27:15.595
That's right.

27:15.895 --> 27:30.035
This game. Yeah. I don't know. Oh, and you fight. You fight Jason's mom's head. I forgot. Like, you actually fight it. It's not just chilling. You actually have to fight it. It looks like Medusa from.

27:32.135 --> 27:35.897
Before looking in the manual as a kid. I thought it was Medusa when I found her.

27:36.071 --> 27:49.065
Yeah. I mean, you're not gonna. You're not gonna have your hair did if you're a head in a jar. So, I mean, unless you're Futurama, then you probably have a hair dead specialist.

27:49.765 --> 28:00.625
Imagine if you rented this game and there was no manual. Imagine if you didn't have the manual and you just had to figure this out.

28:01.735 --> 28:08.115
Yeah, that was me when I first played it. I don't. I didn't know anything about this other than movie.

28:08.695 --> 28:33.397
That was a conscious decision a lot of times back then after the whole rental debacle with any. With Nintendo that I think it was probably A conscious decision. Don't put important information in the game. Put it in the manual. Because most rental places don't give out the manual with it. Or if they do, it gets destroyed pretty quick or lost or whatever. Other kids, other people who rent it don't get that information. Sucks for them. More money for us.

28:33.461 --> 28:42.933
This is definitely a game that is not long. Like, once you know the loop and how to beat it, I think you can beat it within less than two hours. I saw some crazy short speed runs. I think it was Arcus was under three hours.

28:42.949 --> 28:43.629
You have to. Right?

28:43.677 --> 28:56.945
Yeah, you have to do within a certain time limit, but it's faster if you know what to do. So it's not a long game. So if you did rent it and you managed to figure it out, that's kind of a. It's a pretty short time. I'd be kind of upset.

28:57.895 --> 28:58.635
Right.

28:59.215 --> 29:02.743
I think the last couple playthroughs that I've seen of this are like 20 minutes.

29:02.799 --> 29:03.435
Yeah.

29:04.255 --> 29:06.375
Like, no damage playthroughs early 20 minutes.

29:06.455 --> 29:25.233
Imagine if you rented this. You got good, but you ran out of your. You ran out of your rental time and your parents made you take it back, and the next weekend you rented it. But you've become good at this game and you beat it in 20 minutes on your next rental. Imagine how you would feel as bad.

29:25.249 --> 29:32.689
As I did coming back to play it again. Because I'll tell you what, if I had rented this once, it would have been once.

29:32.777 --> 29:43.145
For Those watching the YouTube video, I have to pull up a clip. This game since that day in the rowboat section where you're going to the cabin, Jason is in the lake and he's like motorboarding across the water.

29:43.185 --> 29:44.321
Yeah, motorboating.

29:44.473 --> 29:45.165
Yeah.

29:47.465 --> 29:49.641
He's got a jet ski. An underwater jet ski Again.

29:49.673 --> 29:55.199
That's my favorite part of the movies. Jason on the jet ski. That's such a great classic movie.

29:55.327 --> 30:05.715
Well, if you do look at Friday the 13th number one, he does kind of motorboat out of the lake right at the end. Spoiler.

30:06.815 --> 30:08.999
Gosh, I don't know. I think this was not based.

30:09.047 --> 30:11.543
This is definitely a Bowden here.

30:11.639 --> 30:27.795
To your question, Chard, like, was this based on. Was this a different game and they slapped an IP on it? I don't think so. I think this was made. I think Atlas sat down, they watched part of a movie and said, okay, we got this, and they made something custom to the lore. How many of the films were out by 89 minutes of it?

30:27.835 --> 30:30.295
They're like people we're good.

30:31.395 --> 30:32.135
Three.

30:32.475 --> 30:34.775
Well, three came out in 82.

30:35.075 --> 30:37.115
Okay. So probably more than that.

30:37.195 --> 30:37.971
Okay.

30:38.163 --> 30:41.171
Number four was the last one until number five.

30:41.243 --> 30:44.331
Yeah, that's how it works. And then five was the last one until what, six?

30:44.443 --> 30:45.795
That's usually how that works.

30:45.835 --> 30:49.243
Yeah, well, but they called it the final something or other.

30:49.299 --> 30:50.467
What are we up to now?

30:50.611 --> 30:51.459
The final.

30:51.627 --> 30:58.215
Looks like seven came out in 88 and eight came out in 89.

31:00.555 --> 31:02.215
Jason almost done.

31:03.955 --> 31:07.619
Well, they went to at least 10 because they had Jason.

31:07.707 --> 31:08.299
Remember that one?

31:08.347 --> 31:17.437
Yeah, yeah. Okay. Friday the 13th four is called the Final Chapter. The final chapter was number four.

31:17.581 --> 31:19.705
Yeah. Five was a new beginning.

31:23.965 --> 31:27.101
They should have called five. They should have called five.

31:27.173 --> 31:28.525
Jason Takes Manhattan.

31:28.565 --> 31:29.253
That's not a joke.

31:29.309 --> 31:41.825
Yeah, that was a joke. Yeah, no, no, that's. Yeah, they should have called. They should have called five. You fucked up and read the last chapter first. So now get the actual story.

31:43.965 --> 31:46.285
I thought Jason Takes Manhattan was a gag.

31:46.445 --> 31:51.677
Notable press B to cancel listener Paul Rudd was also Jason X.

31:51.861 --> 31:58.797
No, there is a. There is a. There is a diner scene worth watching from Jason Takes Manhattan.

31:58.861 --> 32:05.705
I might have to watch these. I have not seen any Friday the 13th movies since the early 90s.

32:06.035 --> 32:08.963
Right. Wow. So the final Friday Jason.

32:09.019 --> 32:09.715
Yeah, no, I'm good.

32:09.755 --> 32:17.499
And then Freddy versus Jason. I remember watching that one. And then there's a. I guess a Reboot Friday the 13th in 2009. I forgot all about that one.

32:17.627 --> 32:21.275
Well, and. And Jason X was in space.

32:21.355 --> 32:47.445
I think it was a whole other kind of awful. I remember that one. I like the sci fi take on the mask, though. I thought that was interesting. But yeah, that was a pretty awful. Gosh. So I mean, I was thinking there was like one or two movies and they made this game, but no, there's a. There's a full on franchise run into the ground. And then they decided, you know what? LJN's here and they're got a bucket full of money. Let them make the game and not even pick a plot from the movie.

32:47.485 --> 32:49.185
Gonna dive into the same thing.

32:50.365 --> 32:58.103
They. They made thundercats figurines. Obviously they'll go to. I had a lot of Friday the 13th just let him have it.

32:58.239 --> 33:16.831
Fucking ridiculous. You know they remade a Friday the 13th the game later in years. I think it was. Yeah, yeah, it was like. Yeah, they actually made. Yeah, they made the retro Jason outfit for that game. So you can wear blue mask with the purple. Purple.

33:16.903 --> 33:19.755
There's a fun. There's a funko pop as well.

33:21.495 --> 33:26.551
The 2017 game did that as an apology for all the Technical issues during.

33:26.583 --> 33:32.959
The release because that game is supposed to be like a Dead by Daylight kind of kind of game. Right, right. The asymmetrical.

33:33.047 --> 33:35.767
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

33:35.871 --> 33:36.795
That's weird.

33:37.295 --> 33:45.275
Yeah. So apparently Funko Jason Voorhees057 is purple and blue.

33:45.775 --> 33:55.791
I appreciate the nostalgia hit, but I wonder how many people actually would get that reference. How many people actually played this game back in the day? I never rented this one. I never touched it.

33:55.823 --> 33:56.159
Right.

33:56.247 --> 33:57.555
Kind of glad I didn't.

33:57.975 --> 34:00.475
I never rented it either. I had it.

34:01.135 --> 34:03.271
Oh, gifted. Or did you buy this one?

34:03.383 --> 34:04.955
You just went out and bought it?

34:05.255 --> 34:07.035
It was a Christmas gift.

34:08.615 --> 34:14.635
Real quick. There's actually an 8 bit style Funko Jason from this.

34:15.575 --> 34:16.447
Interesting.

34:16.591 --> 34:18.391
Yeah. If you want to pull this up. Sure.

34:18.423 --> 34:19.275
Send me the link.

34:20.494 --> 34:31.074
I am. It is in. It is in the chat. That is actually pretty cool. I may have to add that to my wish list.

34:34.134 --> 34:34.886
I gotta see this.

34:34.910 --> 34:36.634
Why does it give me a captcha?

34:39.174 --> 34:42.230
Oh, it's Amazon. You're in Canada.

34:42.342 --> 34:43.674
That must be one. Yeah.

34:44.014 --> 34:45.642
I got a captcha too.

34:45.798 --> 34:46.535
Yeah.

34:47.355 --> 34:49.395
Okay. That's pretty freaking cool.

34:49.555 --> 34:50.895
Yeah, I like that.

34:51.635 --> 34:55.667
Yeah. I may have to. I may have to wish list that.

34:55.811 --> 34:59.095
You'Re like, after the episode. I'm gonna pick one of these up.

34:59.395 --> 35:03.411
Well, you know, sometimes you pick up those. It's so bad. It's good.

35:03.483 --> 35:26.945
Well, because there is Amiibos. Right? I mean everybody loves Amiibos from Nintendo. But they did a couple 8 bit pixel ones. There's one for Lincoln, one for Mario and I have those. And those are the two that I wanted because they're. They're fun. Right. Like a 2D sprite in a 3D form is kind of interesting. And that's what this reminds me of. But yeah, the purple outfit though is definitely iconic. I do appreciate it. I just. Such a bizarre one.

35:29.245 --> 35:30.025
Yeah.

35:30.405 --> 35:36.293
Do you think this is one of the worst NES games? It can't be the worst. Like it's not bottom tier.

35:36.389 --> 35:37.325
No, no.

35:37.365 --> 35:38.885
The Circus Charlie exists.

35:39.005 --> 35:41.459
Mr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. So that's.

35:41.507 --> 35:43.051
Yes, that's the. In truth.

35:43.123 --> 35:47.495
And, and, and which is worse? This or. Or Roger Rabbit?

35:48.195 --> 35:50.331
Yeah, probably this. This. Yeah.

35:50.363 --> 35:55.731
You think so you can progress with Robert Roger Rabbit. This one is just like I was.

35:55.763 --> 35:57.975
Able to beat Roger Rabbit as a child.

35:58.395 --> 35:58.843
Yeah.

35:58.899 --> 35:59.451
All right.

35:59.563 --> 36:00.243
How.

36:00.419 --> 36:01.651
You're too good. That's.

36:01.723 --> 36:06.275
Well, okay. Not able to beat it. But I was able to get to the final boss. Like you do all that.

36:06.315 --> 36:09.865
And that's. Yeah. Doom lining up to punch him in.

36:09.865 --> 36:19.289
The fucking head there's guides that tell you how to beat Judge Doom. I can't do it. I don't understand. We're not talking about Roger Rabbit, but yeah, it's impossible.

36:19.417 --> 36:20.725
I don't know how people do it.

36:23.025 --> 36:25.585
Yeah. LJN stands for let's just not.

36:25.745 --> 36:29.865
That's exactly what I was gonna say. That's exactly what I was gonna fucking.

36:29.905 --> 36:34.009
There was a Dick Tracy video game. I'm just double checking, but I don't think it was lgn.

36:34.057 --> 36:35.983
Yeah, that was not them.

36:36.039 --> 36:47.447
I think the Dick Tracy game is way worse than this. Yeah, it's worse than this, but it wasn't. Okay. Okay. Gosh, there's a lot of bad video game movies or movies or games based on video games. I'm tired.

36:47.511 --> 36:55.647
I'm not sure there's. I mean, with Batman being probably one of the few, like, movie games on the NES that trans.

36:55.711 --> 37:03.515
But it's not even the movie, though. It's just. I mean, it's the Batmobile from the movie, but the bosses are different stuff from the movie.

37:03.855 --> 37:05.991
Yeah, I mean, the Joker, I guess.

37:06.023 --> 37:08.995
So we have Firefly and all the other crazy villains. I don't know.

37:10.855 --> 37:33.307
I know. I just can't think of a single game that was an IP that was a TV show or a movie that we played that wasn't hot trash. I love Knight Rider. It's one of my favorite shows growing up as a kid. The game garbage. It's awful. Except I found out there's a Knight rider game for PlayStation 2, which I'm going to have to go and check out.

37:33.491 --> 37:34.695
Chip and Dale.

37:36.275 --> 37:37.091
Chip and Dale.

37:37.163 --> 37:38.371
Not based on a movie.

37:38.483 --> 37:45.899
That's Disney, though. Disney. The Disney morning game. Disney afternoon games were solid. Oh, tales.

37:45.947 --> 37:55.455
The Goonies 2. Does that count as a movie base game? You know, for everybody's favorite sequel to Goonies? Just looking at a list.

37:58.035 --> 38:11.275
I never played it, but I've seen it played through. It doesn't seem terrible, but it doesn't make sense. Just like, as a standpoint of being a sequel to Goonies. Like, it's really bizarre.

38:11.395 --> 38:15.715
The Gremlins. There's the Gremlins video game sequel to the movie or Gremlins video game is actually really good.

38:15.835 --> 38:19.335
Gremlins 2. Yeah, I like that one.

38:20.155 --> 38:24.803
Sunsoft had jamming music and that was a fun game. So there's a few. There's fun.

38:24.979 --> 38:35.643
That game. Yeah, I know that game. Actually, that game, the Gremlins 2 game, made use of, like, all the new Gremlins from Gremlins 2. Yeah. And made them bosses.

38:35.699 --> 38:36.775
Yeah. That's a great idea.

38:37.275 --> 38:49.015
That was a cool game. I mean, a broken clock is right twice a day, right, guys? I mean, you're going to throw enough shit at the wall, something's going to stick. So your Gremlins and your Chippendales are going to hang out. But.

38:52.535 --> 39:18.289
So. So I found. I found a ranking on IMDb of movie NES games, and the winners are. RoboCop gets a 6.5, Die Hard gets a 6.5, RoboCop 2 gets a 6.3. Untouchables gets a 6.1. But everything else is like, fives.

39:18.417 --> 39:27.765
I'd love to see the Untouchables game. Like, I wonder if it has Sean Connery in it. It's. It's got to. Right? Is a digital Sean Connery in that game. That could be interesting.

39:29.465 --> 39:34.245
As long as some things don't react too well to bullets in the game, I'm good.

39:35.105 --> 39:38.145
Wow. All right.

39:38.265 --> 39:38.841
I know.

39:38.913 --> 39:40.657
Yeah, Yeah.

39:40.761 --> 39:50.251
I never played. Well, no, I did. I played Mad Max on the nes, but I don't remember much of it. I remember you ran out of gas a lot in that game. And that was basically.

39:50.283 --> 39:53.483
That's true to the movie, but it.

39:53.499 --> 39:55.575
Was an overhead driving game.

39:57.475 --> 39:58.163
Wow.

39:58.299 --> 40:01.427
Now, that said the modern Mad Max game.

40:01.451 --> 40:04.387
Yeah, that looks solid. I watched Murph play that here and there.

40:04.451 --> 40:09.235
That game was. That game was like a dollar. I was half tempted to pick it up.

40:09.975 --> 40:33.185
I feel movie games today, there's certainly cash grabs, but there are some solid ones. Right. There was, gosh, Vin Diesel pitch black. Right? There's that pitch black. Maybe an original story of a Butcher Bay or whatever it was it was called. That one's supposed to be a really great game that came out 10 years ago or so. So they do exist. So for every cash grab, there's usually at least one good one.

40:33.295 --> 40:53.989
Yeah, yeah. Although I think the best ones are like, movie adjacent, like the Lord of the Rings games, the, you know, Shadow of War. Yeah, those are great. But our shadow mortar. But they're. But they're not like the movie. Right?

40:54.037 --> 40:54.845
They're right, right.

40:54.885 --> 40:57.597
They're tied to the ip. They're not the movie.

40:57.741 --> 40:58.117
Right.

40:58.181 --> 41:02.795
So which Mad Max is the same. It's not the movie. It's tied to the ip.

41:03.135 --> 41:09.935
I think you can get away with using the name of the franchise and then making your own shit out of it.

41:10.095 --> 41:21.383
Like, and, you know, last of us from that TV show is fantastic. That game that came from the TV show and Fallout is also fantastic from.

41:21.399 --> 41:26.017
The tv, but they were already games, so they were just taking the damn it out of the game.

41:26.191 --> 41:28.225
Look, you missed my joke.

41:28.565 --> 41:40.025
I don't care. I'm here to correct. I'm here to correct this. Listen, guys, I opened and closed today, okay? I'm tired. Leave me alone.

41:41.445 --> 41:49.293
All right, well, we have. We have tangented, which is what we do best. Do we want to keep tangenting or should we?

41:49.469 --> 42:01.215
I. I do want to make one point about Friday the 13th. I would say this game almost qualifies as a survival horror, even though it doesn't seem to make any survival horror lists.

42:02.355 --> 42:04.099
There's. There's an ambition there.

42:04.187 --> 42:05.083
No, because it's not.

42:05.139 --> 43:07.175
You're right, it does. It brings up the tension with Jason randomly attacking the map and you have to hunt him down and say what you want, but the music being awful, but it is, it is suspenseful for what it is for the nes. I. All that intro is pretty suspenseful, but it's definitely ambitious for an NES title. Right. You have the side scrolling bits and platforming and jumping over zombies. That's one part of the game. Then you have that exploring of cabins and boss fights there with a punch out vibe. It's ambitious. I mean, I was glad I played it this week a little bit to try it out because I never really gave this game a fair shake. That said, it's still awful, but it's different than I was expecting. I didn't expect there to be this idea of like six counselors on the map that move around and you can swap bodies. That is pretty ambitious for an NES game. And that's pretty neat how each one has different stats. Right. Whether it's jumping, throwing, all that kind of stuff. Does it matter a whole lot? No. But it's an NES game. But the idea that they took the time to craft as a system I think was pretty, pretty neat.

43:09.635 --> 43:23.103
And I need to go back to 1989 when this was released and we didn't have things like Visage and, and Dead Space and all those actual survivor horror games. So maybe give this one a little bit more credit Chart maybe.

43:23.159 --> 43:25.375
And it has a jump scare right at the beginning.

43:25.535 --> 43:28.835
It does. It has a knife. Yeah, knife. Stab in the face.

43:29.375 --> 43:44.825
I'm looking at games that came out that year and there were a lot of good games that year. So I think we can hold it against Friday the 13th. That's the year we got Tetris, Ninja Gaiden, Dragon Warrior, Mega Man 2 Ninja Turtles.

43:45.285 --> 43:47.621
I'm just trying to be devil's advocate here.

43:47.653 --> 43:51.453
I think Lolo Super Dodge, a Lot.

43:51.469 --> 43:53.225
Of good games this game is.

43:53.845 --> 43:58.705
It was when it came out. It's now. And it was when it came out. Sorry.

43:59.405 --> 44:05.145
I got a question for you. Friday the 13th and that's. Which one would you rather play?

44:08.565 --> 44:09.309
Really?

44:09.477 --> 44:12.885
I hate that game. I cannot stand that game.

44:13.045 --> 44:14.545
Jake, you don't like good games.

44:15.245 --> 44:19.625
It's just confusing. The manual doesn't tell you jack shits. You know, do with the jelly beans.

44:20.285 --> 44:28.225
As. As far as sidekicks go in a video game. Knuckles or Jason Voorhees.

44:30.925 --> 44:32.785
Wait, how is Jason a sidekick?

44:33.445 --> 44:41.775
You make him your bitch. But I'll tell you this. Knuckles is not afraid of his mother's sweater. So I. I think you got to go. Knuckles.

44:44.515 --> 44:47.043
Yeah, Knuckles also likes Pretty Woman.

44:47.139 --> 44:51.055
So walking down the street.

44:51.515 --> 44:52.935
Yeah, the. The movie.

44:53.435 --> 45:00.491
How come that's not a video game? How come we didn't get a Richard Gere Pretty Woman video game? We got cool world.

45:00.603 --> 45:09.213
Like, you have to go shopping. You have to go convince pompous shopping people that, like, you're not a prostitute. When you are going to say, you.

45:09.229 --> 45:11.985
Got to hook your way into fucking fame.

45:14.765 --> 45:19.669
The final boss is when you get to go back into the store. Be like, big mistake. Huge.

45:19.837 --> 45:26.661
If you like fashion and video games. I've been trying to get charged to play a game all week called you are not fucking.

45:26.733 --> 45:34.581
We're not talking about that shit on a 1989 Friday the 13th inspired game.

45:34.733 --> 45:39.845
You're not Infinity Nikki is gonna be game of the year next year. I'm telling you now, we're not doing.

45:39.885 --> 45:43.717
This episode on Infinite Nikki. Oh, you're doing it by yourself.

45:43.781 --> 45:44.605
It's got whimsy.

45:44.645 --> 45:48.625
Oh, dear Lord. All right.

45:49.085 --> 45:55.109
Don't even know what whimsy is. Sounds like Canadian magic.

45:55.277 --> 45:57.305
Now Whimsy's a side character.

45:58.605 --> 46:01.785
Yeah. Who's your favorite side character? Knuckle or whimsy?

46:06.085 --> 46:10.349
Awesome. Anything else to say about this amazingly wonderful?

46:10.397 --> 46:36.765
Only thing I'm going to say is when I was researching this episode, as we do the depth research, we do usually type in the YouTube to look up videos. And I did catch AVGN's video on this from 18 freaking years ago. Does that not make you feel ancient online? 18 years ago, a YouTube video existed on this game that was interesting to watch. I'm not the hugest fan of avgn, but God damn, he's been doing this for a long time.

46:38.785 --> 46:43.713
Saying that doesn't make me feel as ancient as saying 18 years ago was 2006.

46:43.889 --> 46:44.765
That's.

46:45.105 --> 46:47.625
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

46:47.665 --> 46:48.921
When you put a number on the.

46:48.953 --> 46:53.605
Number that Hits a little harder, but I see where you're going with this.

46:54.265 --> 46:57.383
Yeah. Okay.

46:57.559 --> 47:16.755
Gentlemen, I have a 26 year old son. Awesome. All right, well, I'm just gonna say to everyone, I highly suggest you go back to this game. That's what I'm gonna say.

47:17.135 --> 47:18.975
God, is there chivos for this game?

47:19.095 --> 47:20.035
Don't do it.

47:20.945 --> 47:22.725
Yes. Oh, yeah, probably.

47:24.825 --> 48:41.945
Yeah. No. Okay. Well, I appreciate everybody being here. I appreciate you all taking the time on a Friday the 13th to have one of our rare just shit on a video game episodes. We do need them every once in a while. It's a little cathartic. Right. Yeah. Coming up for the rest of the year, I think we are going to be doing a recorded episode next week, I believe. So we may not be live next week, that next week being the 20th. And then we are also definitely not live on the 27th. We will be spending time with our families, but we will have an episode that will air on the 27th. While you're here, if you're watching on YouTube, like and subscribe, tell your friends otherwise for everybody out there, including our audio listeners, come join us in the discord. Come chat with us. Come tell us what we got right, what we got wrong. You can find all of our info@press betacancel.com or press b.org and yeah, any. Anything from y'all that you want to say, anything you're doing, anything you want to call out.

48:42.525 --> 48:49.185
Well, we should also call out Super Pot network dot com. Super Pod Network. Not Super Pot Network. I'm sorry.

48:51.325 --> 48:53.397
It'S been four weeks where you fucked this up.

48:53.461 --> 48:54.925
I pronounced it incorrectly.

48:55.005 --> 48:59.333
I'm gonna get it right next week, I promise. Well, not next week because it might be recorded.

48:59.469 --> 49:00.469
I was already.

49:00.597 --> 49:04.265
I just mispronounced it on the pre recorded one.

49:05.855 --> 49:11.315
I have to add it to my end, like, list. Right. I got to get it plugged in there.

49:11.895 --> 49:18.235
We are loosely affiliated with a handful of podcasts through the Super Pod Network. So go check out the website.

49:18.655 --> 49:20.359
I'm actually gonna be guessing I'm one of them.

49:20.407 --> 49:21.911
Can I just go play Where's Waldo now?

49:21.943 --> 49:22.875
Yes, you should do.

49:23.215 --> 49:27.995
Yes, I'm. I'm gonna go play Mario is missing.

49:29.905 --> 49:31.809
Jake and I might go play Path of Exile too.

49:31.817 --> 49:33.089
Yeah, I came out in early access.

49:33.177 --> 49:34.457
Oh, you go play. Good, Jake.

49:34.521 --> 49:59.775
I'm playing quite a bit of it, so I think him and I are going to do an episode in the near future on that one just to kind of touch base on Path of Exile. You don't need to buy it. Today if you don't want to pay money for it, just wait for the. When it comes out fully next year. But it's, it's. It's like the third. It's the best version of Diablo 2 I've ever played and I've said that a few times now for games that aren't made by Blizzard. It's kind of interesting. So I definitely look forward to talking about that one in depth. I really dig that one.

50:01.515 --> 50:02.619
Game of the year.

50:02.787 --> 50:05.375
Infinite Nicki is hitting pretty strong.

50:07.475 --> 50:08.651
I hate this.

50:08.723 --> 50:21.495
It's got biking, it's got BMX tricks, diva fashion battles, costumes, gliding, exploration. Guys, this, this hits all the the keynotes of a perfect video game. I know.

50:21.845 --> 50:24.585
What was it called in the discord?

50:24.925 --> 50:26.945
A farming fashion game, I think.

50:28.965 --> 50:30.885
Farming fishing. Fashion game.

50:31.045 --> 50:56.123
Farming fishing game. Which is my favorite genre. I don't know about you guys, but when I saw the trailer during the game awards last night, I was pretty stoked. Apparently it's a franchise. There's multiple of these games. Look, I'm not going to stop talking about it until we do an episode on this. So get used to playing it. It's free, it's on phone, it's on windows. Jared's like distancing from the camera. He's just, he's had enough. Repelled trying to leave.

50:56.179 --> 51:02.363
I'm trying to leave conversation. All right, dark holes on that.

51:02.499 --> 51:33.811
Well, I think I'm gonna put a button on this right there. This seems like a good time to finish this up everybody. Thank you. We appreciate you being here. Happy whatever holidays you celebrate. Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, Kwanzaa, Ramadan. I don't know enough but any of these we wish you a happy holidays. And yeah, we will see you live probably in a couple, two, three weeks.

51:34.003 --> 51:34.475
I'll be.
