7:34 PM13Ucube​Andrew, PLAY MORE GAMES

7:34 PMkratos3821​gearbox has always been involved in controversy “stolen money from sega to make broderlands 2” , “stolen assets from codehunters”

7:34 PMeathdemon​those streaming rules may be legal, but dam is it unneeded very bad pr

7:34 PMLakster37​we all know how much Andrew like kittens…

7:34 PMeathdemon​by atlus japan

7:35 PMLakster37​(sorry, obligatory reference to Andrew’s most popular video – we HAVE to get at least one in per podcast)

7:35 PMkratos3821​don’t dare to talk about the game after 7/7/17 because they’re gonna strike your channel with a nuclear strike

7:36 PMeathdemon​it bugs me the only reasson p5 is doing so well becouse all the lps of p4g

7:37 PMeathdemon​everyone I know who bought it becouse of lps, what a way to shot themselves in the foot

7:37 PMGFY AH​I love Boss fights

7:38 PM13Ucube​Was this written by a Spoilers Attorney?

7:39 PMeathdemon​that is a atlus us staff hating their Japanese bosses

7:40 PMLakster37​didn’t they later say that this only applies to Japanese reviewers? (which I would still disagree with…)

7:40 PMeathdemon​can you link that, ?”I havent seen it

7:40 PMkratos3821​this are the same stupid practices made by Nintendo

7:41 PMeathdemon​even nintendo doesnt threaten twitch streamers

7:42 PMkratos3821​Nintendo get half of every penny you get from twitch , if you stream one of their games

7:42 PMeathdemon​no they get youtube ad rev, not twitch rev

7:42 PMkratos3821​that’s why i stopped streaming nintendo games

7:43 PMLakster37​oh sorry, that “Japan only restriction” thing is for puyo puyo tetris (which is also Sega published)

7:44 PMLakster37​yeah I hadn’t heard anything about Nintendo with Twitch revenue, only YouTube

7:44 PMeathdemon​nier route A is in it

7:47 PMeathdemon​isnt most of it cosmetic

7:47 PMeathdemon​yes its full jp vo

7:48 PMeathdemon​cost, nintendo would have to pay agaib to use jp vo in the west

7:48 PMeathdemon​as did atlus

7:49 PMLakster37​what’s agaib?

7:49 PMeathdemon​again sorry

7:49 PMkratos3821​Nintendo making “mistakes since 1996”

7:49 PMLakster37​oic, as in pay the japanese voice actors more for using in other regions?

7:49 PMeathdemon​yup

7:49 PMkratos3821​Nintendo fans “damage controlling since 1996”

7:50 PMeathdemon​thoses deals are done on a region by region basis

7:50 PMLakster37​so Nintendo didn’t screw up until the N64? that’s pretty impressive!

7:51 PMeathdemon​think of persona’s a pokemon and you would be close

7:51 PMkratos3821​yup! , the mistakes started with the 64

7:52 PMLakster37​that’s kinda weird that Nintendo would still include it on the cart, though. are they exactly the same for each region, but the differences are just based on console region setting?

7:54 PMLakster37​would the games have cost more back then in comparison to today’s price, though?

7:54 PMGFY AH​times are changin

7:55 PMMixtape Troy​BUT GUYS

7:55 PMkratos3821​back then , there wasn’t the amount of consumers that now buy games

7:55 PMIngenting Filmen​hiya boys, how late am I

7:55 PMMixtape Troy​Games cost SO much to make

7:56 PMeathdemon​they are eating the cost, the free jp vo is a make good for the delys

7:57 PMLakster37​maybe it’s just so consumers are forced to SWITCH the Switch’s region… you know, cause Nintendo wants you to do anything that involves SWITCHING something on the Switch

7:59 PMPats459​Mass Effect

8:00 PMLakster37​had they even confirmed that that is what the patch did?

8:00 PM13Ucube​who, me?

8:01 PMkratos3821​that is why!, you buy games 4 to 6 months after the launch date.

8:01 PMLakster37​unless it’s Zelda*

8:02 PMkratos3821​game of the year editions are the best , all the patches and dlc are include

8:02 PMkratos3821​and cheaper

8:03 PMCarl King​

8:04 PMeathdemon​games are bigger and more complex, but bioware had 5 years, so I dont blame ea for saying enough is enough

8:04 PMGFY AH​sometimes good sometimes bad

8:07 PMeathdemon​end of fiscal

8:07 PMCarl King​Mass effect Andromeda is a shameful despray

8:08 PMGFY AH​not my thing

8:08 PMeathdemon​it was nier, but the comunity fixed it in 48 hours

8:09 PMkratos3821​the communit5y shouldn’t have to do it in the first place

8:09 PMeathdemon​not defending nier, but that game had a tiny budget of 15 mil

8:09 PMeathdemon​and pc was very much a after thought sadly

8:10 PMeathdemon​and yes the pc gamming community has some dam smart people. ever heard of durante

8:11 PMeathdemon​durante did he was paid to foix kings story’s pc port

8:11 PMeathdemon​fix

8:12 PMeathdemon​durante is cs professor/researcher out of aus

8:13 PMLakster37​what are some of the bugs?

8:14 PMkratos3821​lego city undercover was shitty on the wii-u and keep being shitty on the switch

8:14 PMkratos3821​the same bugs in both versions

8:14 PMAndrew Eisen​“The Bugs and Glitches of The LEGO Movie Videogame” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrc9p…)

8:14 PMLakster37​I’d be nice

8:15 PMeathdemon​you want to make a switch game a devkit it cheap, only $500

8:16 PM13Ucube​Does any have a good place to get a working NES original console for less than 80 us?

8:17 PMLakster37​you have any used shops near you?

8:18 PMeathdemon​or the nt mini

8:18 PMLakster37​top loader are probably much more likely to work though

8:19 PM13Ucube​i just got a broken one off ebay. it works but it audio buzzes REAlly bad

8:19 PMeathdemon​if you want nes stuff, the nt mini is a option

8:19 PMScottyJayMan​Top loader NES only has RF, not composite.

8:20 PM13Ucube​yep

8:20 PMLakster37​I got a blinking light win (kickstarted project to replace original nes cart slot) but still haven’t gotten an nes to put it in…

8:21 PMScottyJayMan​Av famicom has composite. Get an adapter and you’ll be fine.

8:21 PMCecil475​SNES Jr

8:21 PMGFY AH​thanks guys

8:22 PM13Ucube​did you kill the fly in the video?
