Hasn’t he really done some latest movie reviews which had recently released the exact same week that he posted on back then. But shouldn’t he actually been aware of a adult-animated feature that is premiering on Netflix and hasn’t gotten any highlighted recognition among the others (such as Vivo, The Loud House Movie, etc) which did received some variable to the streaming platform that are familiarly with. And it is presumably titled as “America: The Motion Picture” and will be released on just about four days before Independence Day (U.S.) and he needs to do a video about this after June 30th
They got pressured by Sony into making LBP Karting instead I think. A real shame, as I loved both the Modnation and LBP franchises but did not like that game at all.
@@hotel_arcadia I would like it if it felt faster like MNR's did, and the character and kart customization was on the level of MNR. It did have a greatly improved track builder though!
Absolutely needs those, especially TvC. I remember the people who made it loud and clear to Capcom that they wanted the game localized, even though the legal issues were apparently numerous (a bunch of Tatsunoko's IPs still had their localization rights in the hands of various companies outside of Japan), and when that Nintendo Power issue leaked with the cover story being that the game would be coming Stateside (and with new content) people were ecstatic. Even managed to keep almost every Tatsunoko character in the game too (only one character had to be axed due to issues with the Italian company who still owned the localization rights).
Sony screwing over Kevin Butler makes me sad even to this day. They literally could’ve just made another commercial saying he had gone undercover or even parodied the commercial and rolled with the punches but instead they ruined one of their greatest marketing icons for a single commercial.
Sony Music Of Japan decided they needed to sue Siivagunner. Sony may make quality products but much like Nintendo they don't have a quality PR Team. They all need to be more like SEGA "New one, not the 90's era one where their Japanese Office decided firing Tom Kalinski was a good idea but I digress". They roll with the punches and let bygones be bygones.
he did infringe on his contract, it was less sony screwing with him and more him fucking up in something that was pretty clear cut. Read what you sign dude, the law is the law.
That 2009 era of PlayStation was my time, a time I was actually at peace... I miss it. Though, I barley touched Pain (PSN kept promoting it), Modracers, Motorstorm, did get around the Festival of Blood, after I maxed out the first two InFamous games. Most of that energy was due to Kevin Butler always being on a G4 commercial, the loss of him was end of a fun era. I love their current campaigns now, but it's not the same man.
2009 was the year I got into psn after my parents didn't allow me to sign up for it when I got the ps3 back in 2007 when I was a kid, playing games for the first time online is an experience I'll never forget like killzone 2 and codmw2, heck seeing demo's go from discs to digital blew me away when exploring the psn store like playing the demo for mirror's edge. One thing that was huge to me as well from discovering all this was playstation home, something that I wish sony would bring back because being able to talk to people across the world while playing a nice little game of bowling ball is something that I miss dearly.
@@domd5989 I honestly had no idea the company that made the games went under I wondered why we hadn't heard about or seen any new games or even ports boy I'm bummed out by that.
Used to bring friends over to just play the demo. I didn’t get new games that often so i had to resort to playing demos. Also that one wrestling video game demo with the warrior. God that was something.
The last time any major zany video game commercials was made for “Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare” and “Garden Warfare 2”! (Loved the dolphin gun commercial)
They don't need to be creative for their ads, the internet does all the job. Gamer streamers are basically free publicity for the games. Also, gameplay trailers are widely available now.
@Dr.Sir Bruce Armstrong Mother Fucker The Third true, but mostly because they want to make their games more “cinematic” because apparently people only play games for their “emotional” Oscar-bait stories.
I like how Pan probably made this vid and bought a bunch games before ps3 online store closes down, only for Sony to be "Psyche , were still gonna keep it going ".
Seeing Modnation Racers and being reminded of the amount of time I spent in online and creating my own mods and karts just makes me wanna cry... It was such a beautiful experience, I miss it so much.
@@starkingbiker Nah dude, Wii was the most influential of that generation. Even the 360 is held in higher regard. The PS3 is the weakest PlayStation era
@@starkingbiker Last of Us and Uncharted were big I'll give you that, but all they did was make "movie games" trendy. They didn't do much to impact the games industry as a whole. The Wii completely changed the landscape with motion controls and was a gigantic success, so much that Sony and Microsoft bother tried to get in on the action with motion controls. The 360 refined console online experience with Halo 3/Reach and Gears. No console exclusive shut down the industry like Halo 3 did and Gears revolutionized 3rd person shooters, and so that Uncharted borrowed it's gameplay. The 360 was the golden era for console online gaming, PlayStation could only keep up my massively discounting their console.

This was. a masterpiece. You really know yourself and are able to communicate your. thoughts with such ease. Sorry for talking like that. That gamer speech at the end just has me in a sort of mood
Ooh I know this one, the reason the modnation start timer seems so random is because you're playing off the disc. If you play off the hard drive it fixes that + the load times are massively improved
Modnation Racers meant a lot to me. I spent hours making tracks, cars, and racers, and sharing them with the world. Oh yeah, and the creations made by players were amazing. I've had some great times going into races and trying out creative and fun tracks, hosting my own races, challening racers to races, there was so much to do. You could contact players on it via mail, rate and download creations, it was great. When it shut down, I was really saddened. I would love Sony to bring back the game one day.
I like that you reference Reggie and Segata Sanshiro, Kevin Butler really felt like the best combination of both of them, half a loveable coporate head with personality Like Reggie (although he's a real person) and a character that is larger than life like Segata Sanshiro, and to tell you the truth the first time I saw him on E3 I really thought he was a real person, ofc I knew he was an actor playing a character no wonder why he was able to pull that off better that any actual company rep that only passed as cringeworthy (except of Reggie of course). It's a shame what happened and I'm glad to know the sex offender part was only a character in Family Guy, hopefully he will comeback to sooth the masses awaiting for PS5 restocks.
i'm so thankful that 12 year old me downloaded a bunch of user created characters in modnation racers, my character selection is better than any smash bros roster and my ps3 is now significantly more valuable!
Pan, have you heard of the PS2 game "Stretch Panic" (or "Freakout" everywhere outside the US)? It's made by Treasure, the company that made Mischief Makers for the N64. I just discovered it myself and it looks like something that'd be up your alley.
i’m surprised you didn’t mention Naughty Bear. TANGENTIALLY RELATED STORY TIME: my mom actually got upset at me for playing it in front of her bc it came out when i was a severely depressed 9th grade shutin, and the opening cutscene of the game has the main character being excluded from everything and then killed everyone that was mean to him so she thought it would hit too close to home home and depress me even farther and make me…commit toaster bath, summon orpheus, 😀🔫, i’m tying to put it in a way so that the youtube censors dont remove my comment. so she yelled at me and i ran up to my room and started crying while listening to sum 41. a lot of games helped me through that really hard time in my life but suffice to say naughty bear was not one of them lmfao. to this day i haven’t played many games in front of my parents since then just to be safe but both my mom and i look back at her overreaction and have a laugh, so no hard feelings. also my mental health is getting better now and i’m at least in a much better place than i was at that time. this is very tangentially related but i don’t know any other time i can tell this anecdote and i’m also the king of oversharing lmfao (inb4 someone accuses me of “trauma dumping” when there’s no trauma involved in the first place :pensive:)
Oh god that game, I remember buying it and never getting far into it because the trailers for it made it look fun but then playing it boy it was, something I guess? I got bored of it and traded it in not long after since the gameplay just felt really boring.
@@Mesuducki I was in the same boat. I got it expecting something like Conker’s Bad Fur Day but it seemed too multiplayer/battle royal focused for my taste and I couldn’t get my head around the gameplay mechanics. I remember it being really unintuitive. Maybe it’s better with 2+ players, idk, I only touched the single player campaign. I still have the game cuz I didn’t pay that much for it and I’m wondering if it would be any better if I went back and played it again today, but I’d have to get over the embarrassment flashbacks from when i first played it lmao
@@Mesuducki Same. I remember reading about it and thought it was like God of War but if Kratos was a teddy bear. Something like a slasher movie but everyone's a stuffed animal. But what I got was so lame. It was what I described but some stealth levels, some battle royale levels, etc. I played a few levels but I never got far.
Modnation Racers is still one of my favourite games. I love it's aesthetic so MUCH, and that customization still holds up as one of the best of all time. Honestly bums me out we never got more from Modnation, for real.
Thanks algorithm for knowing the one PS3 game I decided to play today and feeding me a video which opens with a bit on said game in the first few minutes
You forgot to mention that there was also a PSP version of ModNation Racers. Additionally, you could still play around with user-generated content by either importing saves from the LittleBigPlanet archive or playing on the custom fan server.
modnations 3, 2, 1 pause is deliberate to test your timing. also depending on how fast you press the boost button after the go sets how long the boost lasts. but pressing too early sets you back like 5 seconds
ModNation Racers was a fantastic game. Not only was the racing really fun, but the online aspect made me some great friends over the years and the customization was very detailed if you knew how to use it. I know some creators made super detailed art pieces on their cars/characters just by manipulating basic shapes in the sticker section. I wish they would've made a sequel.
Seeing all these old commercials reminds me of a time when I could dedicate like 7 straight hours a day to goofing off gaming. If I could just have another week like that these days... Or hell, even just the attention span that I used to have. I feel like I'm totally burnt out on games after like 2 hours now.
Yeah I used to play games back then for hours on end back then, now whenever I play a game I usually play for maybe an hour or two unless it's something like final fantasy 14 which has been the one game in recent years that's really got me playing for hours.
Sony seeing Kevin in ad for Bridgestone tires with a wii in it : "TRAITOR"!!!!!(also if you're doing wii titles next perhaps that's a good opportunity to talk about that one game I donated to you at momocon 2019 , Hollywood games by ubisoft)
Holy crap, I now remember Modnation Racers, I've played it on my PS3 whenever I was a kid. Man. Memories, I still remember the music but I don't know the way I got modnation.
I played the ever-loving HECK out of Modnation Racers back in the day. I was all in on that game. Followed the trailers and news leading up to launch, bought a PS3 so that I could play it, bought the DLC, dumped hundreds of hours into it. That game was my jam! It saddens me to this day that it never flourished into the franchise that I knew it could have been.

Here's my list of games you need to check out: Muramasa the demon blade Tatsunoko vs Capcom Pandora's tower Resident evil the darkside chronicles Klonoa Mercury meltdown revolution Fire emblem radiant dawn Redsteel 2 Zack & wiki Warioland shake it House of the dead overkill Sin & punishment star successor Mario strikere charged
28:55 Until 2016 in Sony's hands, their last game that Evolution made is Driveclub. To me is one of the best looking racing game of the PS4 Generation next to Gran Turismo Sport. Then Evolution were bought by Codemasters, the go-to company for racing games. And Codemasters were bought by EA recently. I'd say there are hints of MotorStorm in DIRT5 though.
One of the parts I love the most about watching your newer vids is whenever you use that Andrew WK song. It feels like I'm being transported back to the early 2000s, just bringing me back like that makes me forget his long in the past it was that I started watching this channel
28:54 Side note: Evolution Studios didn't shut down after Motorstorm: Apocalypse. They went on to make the FANTASTIC Drive club, and after that, Sony closed the studio after Gran Turismo Sport came out and blew it out of the water. Then the team got picked up by Codemasters.
Where they released Onrush, which did so badly I couldn't remember its name until I google searched Codemasters games. It looked like a spiritual successor to Motorstorm until you realize that it's not actually a racing game but a class-based vehicle combat game that takes place on a track instead of an arena. I think they were trying to do for racing games what Overwatch did for shooters. It sold so poorly that it led to layoffs, and it never got a PC port. It released on June 5th 2018, and the last indication of any developer support was on July 15th 2019. R.I.P. I fear we'll never get another game from Evolution due to Onrush's failure.
Love the aesthetic of your videos! It's truly unique. And I'm really enjoying the videos of you talking about obscure video games. Hope you'll do more!
17:42 The countdown reminds me of the bonus races in The Simpsons: Hit and Run. There would always be some snarky comment made by Nelson or Mil-house before the race begins, and the game would make you sit through it every time you want to retry the race.
I somehow never saw those Kevin Butler commercials before...they must have come out during that period of time where I didn't watch a single minute of TV aside from The Walking Dead.
Oh my god I SO wish that Modnation Racers would come back. Just seeing all the crazy customization in the stages and racers, as well as the really chaotic gameplay, which kinda reminds me of Cel Damage, just makes me so envious of the people who got to play it when the online was still up! Who knows, maybe a remaster or new game will come out in the future, but that’s unlikely. At least we can still play it as opposed to it being entirely gone. Motorstorm also seems like it would be phenomenal if made today. With some more advanced destruction and physics it would be a sight to behold.
Great video, the PS3 era was really great!! I sadly got my PS3 very late when the PS4 was already around, but I was still lucky enough to experience the online scene of Modnation Racers. So sad it was eventually discontinued, that game really was unlike any other...
This Vol. of Obscure/Lost PS3 games was sick. The Kevin Butler tribute nearly brought me to tears. Great job. Also please review PlayStation Home and The Last Guy next time

Probably because that’s his aesthetic, have you seen the outro?
Is it just me or pan is linda kicking ass with these last few videos?
Is this a rebeltaxi golden age?
Modnation Racers meant a lot to me. I spent hours making tracks, cars, and racers, and sharing them with the world. Oh yeah, and the creations made by players were amazing. I've had some great times going into races and trying out creative and fun tracks, hosting my own races, challening racers to races, there was so much to do. You could contact players on it via mail, rate and download creations, it was great. When it shut down, I was really saddened. I would love Sony to bring back the game one day.
It's my fist time seeing footage of livestreams here. The moment when Pan discovered the dudes hanging in the mountain was insane.
I like that you reference Reggie and Segata Sanshiro, Kevin Butler really felt like the best combination of both of them, half a loveable coporate head with personality Like Reggie (although he's a real person) and a character that is larger than life like Segata Sanshiro, and to tell you the truth the first time I saw him on E3 I really thought he was a real person, ofc I knew he was an actor playing a character no wonder why he was able to pull that off better that any actual company rep that only passed as cringeworthy (except of Reggie of course). It's a shame what happened and I'm glad to know the sex offender part was only a character in Family Guy, hopefully he will comeback to sooth the masses awaiting for PS5 restocks.
I'm loving these gaming videos you're doing. Always excited to see what you'll cover next.
i'm so thankful that 12 year old me downloaded a bunch of user created characters in modnation racers, my character selection is better than any smash bros roster and my ps3 is now significantly more valuable!
Pan adding "femboy" into the scenario proves just how down bad he truly is
Pan, have you heard of the PS2 game "Stretch Panic" (or "Freakout" everywhere outside the US)? It's made by Treasure, the company that made Mischief Makers for the N64. I just discovered it myself and it looks like something that'd be up your alley.
A weird ass Wii game I had growing up was this Six Flags licensed game where everyone in it sounded like they spoke French
That was the shit
I still have that game
I’m Shocked RebelTaxi didn’t mention “Tokyo Jungle”. That’s is probably one of the most obscure games on the Digital PS3 Library.
i’m surprised you didn’t mention Naughty Bear.
TANGENTIALLY RELATED STORY TIME: my mom actually got upset at me for playing it in front of her bc it came out when i was a severely depressed 9th grade shutin, and the opening cutscene of the game has the main character being excluded from everything and then killed everyone that was mean to him so she thought it would hit too close to home home and depress me even farther and make me…commit toaster bath, summon orpheus, 😀🔫, i’m tying to put it in a way so that the youtube censors dont remove my comment. so she yelled at me and i ran up to my room and started crying while listening to sum 41. a lot of games helped me through that really hard time in my life but suffice to say naughty bear was not one of them lmfao. to this day i haven’t played many games in front of my parents since then just to be safe but both my mom and i look back at her overreaction and have a laugh, so no hard feelings. also my mental health is getting better now and i’m at least in a much better place than i was at that time.
this is very tangentially related but i don’t know any other time i can tell this anecdote and i’m also the king of oversharing lmfao
(inb4 someone accuses me of “trauma dumping” when there’s no trauma involved in the first place :pensive:)
Oh god that game, I remember buying it and never getting far into it because the trailers for it made it look fun but then playing it boy it was, something I guess? I got bored of it and traded it in not long after since the gameplay just felt really boring.
@@Mesuducki I was in the same boat. I got it expecting something like Conker’s Bad Fur Day but it seemed too multiplayer/battle royal focused for my taste and I couldn’t get my head around the gameplay mechanics. I remember it being really unintuitive. Maybe it’s better with 2+ players, idk, I only touched the single player campaign. I still have the game cuz I didn’t pay that much for it and I’m wondering if it would be any better if I went back and played it again today, but I’d have to get over the embarrassment flashbacks from when i first played it lmao
@@Mesuducki Same. I remember reading about it and thought it was like God of War but if Kratos was a teddy bear. Something like a slasher movie but everyone's a stuffed animal. But what I got was so lame. It was what I described but some stealth levels, some battle royale levels, etc. I played a few levels but I never got far.
Modnation Racers is still one of my favourite games. I love it's aesthetic so MUCH, and that customization still holds up as one of the best of all time.
Honestly bums me out we never got more from Modnation, for real.
Thanks algorithm for knowing the one PS3 game I decided to play today and feeding me a video which opens with a bit on said game in the first few minutes
You forgot to mention that there was also a PSP version of ModNation Racers. Additionally, you could still play around with user-generated content by either importing saves from the LittleBigPlanet archive or playing on the custom fan server.
modnations 3, 2, 1 pause is deliberate to test your timing. also depending on how fast you press the boost button after the go sets how long the boost lasts. but pressing too early sets you back like 5 seconds
If you're doing the Wii next, you gotta talk about The Blob! It was one of my favorite games back in the day
ModNation Racers was a fantastic game. Not only was the racing really fun, but the online aspect made me some great friends over the years and the customization was very detailed if you knew how to use it. I know some creators made super detailed art pieces on their cars/characters just by manipulating basic shapes in the sticker section. I wish they would've made a sequel.
I love the use of the screwattack music recently
It's stuttering craig...
And I’m Handsome Tom And This Top 10
Seeing all these old commercials reminds me of a time when I could dedicate like 7 straight hours a day to goofing off gaming. If I could just have another week like that these days... Or hell, even just the attention span that I used to have. I feel like I'm totally burnt out on games after like 2 hours now.
Yeah I used to play games back then for hours on end back then, now whenever I play a game I usually play for maybe an hour or two unless it's something like final fantasy 14 which has been the one game in recent years that's really got me playing for hours.
Kevin Butler ads should be a TV show. The character is amazingly done
Sony seeing Kevin in ad for Bridgestone tires with a wii in it : "TRAITOR"!!!!!(also if you're doing wii titles next perhaps that's a good opportunity to talk about that one game I donated to you at momocon 2019 , Hollywood games by ubisoft)
Holy crap, I now remember Modnation Racers, I've played it on my PS3 whenever I was a kid. Man. Memories, I still remember the music but I don't know the way I got modnation.
I would love if you do Ape Escape 2, or the Yo-kai Watch Trilogy for 3Ds next time
i 100% think that pan reviewing the ape escape trilogy/franchise would be so nostalgia inducing n spectacular
I played the ever-loving HECK out of Modnation Racers back in the day. I was all in on that game. Followed the trailers and news leading up to launch, bought a PS3 so that I could play it, bought the DLC, dumped hundreds of hours into it. That game was my jam! It saddens me to this day that it never flourished into the franchise that I knew it could have been.
Wii is next? Ok! Here's my list of games you need to check out:
Muramasa the demon blade
Tatsunoko vs Capcom
Pandora's tower
Resident evil the darkside chronicles
Klonoa
Mercury meltdown revolution
Fire emblem radiant dawn
Redsteel 2
Zack & wiki
Warioland shake it
House of the dead overkill
Sin & punishment star successor
Mario strikere charged
Half those games are really well known
The Resident Evil lightgun games were fucking great, I wish we got more of those for the Switch.
28:55 Until 2016 in Sony's hands, their last game that Evolution made is Driveclub. To me is one of the best looking racing game of the PS4 Generation next to Gran Turismo Sport. Then Evolution were bought by Codemasters, the go-to company for racing games. And Codemasters were bought by EA recently. I'd say there are hints of MotorStorm in DIRT5 though.
Hearing that intro just brought back so many memories of watching Screwattack
One of the parts I love the most about watching your newer vids is whenever you use that Andrew WK song. It feels like I'm being transported back to the early 2000s, just bringing me back like that makes me forget his long in the past it was that I started watching this channel
I miss Motorstorm Pacific Rift and Warhawk
28:54 Side note: Evolution Studios didn't shut down after Motorstorm: Apocalypse.
They went on to make the FANTASTIC Drive club, and after that, Sony closed the studio after Gran Turismo Sport came out and blew it out of the water.
Then the team got picked up by Codemasters.
Where they released Onrush, which did so badly I couldn't remember its name until I google searched Codemasters games. It looked like a spiritual successor to Motorstorm until you realize that it's not actually a racing game but a class-based vehicle combat game that takes place on a track instead of an arena. I think they were trying to do for racing games what Overwatch did for shooters. It sold so poorly that it led to layoffs, and it never got a PC port.
It released on June 5th 2018, and the last indication of any developer support was on July 15th 2019. R.I.P.
I fear we'll never get another game from Evolution due to Onrush's failure.
@@trevorgray4697 Actually, a lot of that team went on to make Dirt 5. It runs on the same engine too
Infamous is one of my favorite game series ever!
God i hope they make another for the ps5
I never had a PS3 growing up, but this takes me back.
Putting the term “Semi lost” has caught my interest!
well I guess he was working on this video when sony was going to discontinue the ps3 store but they cancelled that so they aren't lost yet
Modnation Racers' user-created tracks were so creative, so unique. I'm glad that I still have some of them downloiaded on my old PS3.
"Baller taste in music"
*Plays Slam by Pendulum* You fuckin know it my dude
Modnation Racers looks like such an underrated gem that needs a new chance to shine 😟
PS3 brings a fuck tonne of cozy memories, even though it wasn't as memorable as the 6th gen consoles
I love these big vids compiling relatively obscure video games. Happy to see you can do what you're passionate about.
Thank you for the shout out lol 4:23
Love the aesthetic of your videos! It's truly unique. And I'm really enjoying the videos of you talking about obscure video games. Hope you'll do more!
ModNation Racers deserves WAY more attention than it gets!
17:42 The countdown reminds me of the bonus races in The Simpsons: Hit and Run. There would always be some snarky comment made by Nelson or Mil-house before the race begins, and the game would make you sit through it every time you want to retry the race.
26:40 Pan just casually dropping that he may be middle aged
I somehow never saw those Kevin Butler commercials before...they must have come out during that period of time where I didn't watch a single minute of TV aside from The Walking Dead.
If you cover the Wii then you got to talk about Rabbids Go Home, that game was so freaking sweet!
Burt and Betty, better love story than Twilight!
That intro scared me when I was little admittedly….
Hell yeah
Hell yeah, dude! That's of my favorite games.
Oh my god I SO wish that Modnation Racers would come back. Just seeing all the crazy customization in the stages and racers, as well as the really chaotic gameplay, which kinda reminds me of Cel Damage, just makes me so envious of the people who got to play it when the online was still up! Who knows, maybe a remaster or new game will come out in the future, but that’s unlikely. At least we can still play it as opposed to it being entirely gone.
Motorstorm also seems like it would be phenomenal if made today. With some more advanced destruction and physics it would be a sight to behold.
Don’t forget Red Steel 2 when you make the Wii episode, because I know you won’t forget Madworld
Maybe talk about the Conduit games, too.
He did not talk about either of them
Great video, the PS3 era was really great!! I sadly got my PS3 very late when the PS4 was already around, but I was still lucky enough to experience the online scene of Modnation Racers. So sad it was eventually discontinued, that game really was unlike any other...
i still have my copies of Motorstorm and PAIN
It's sad to hear that all these games either have online servers or DLC missing. What a shame.
The fact that there are people who are nostalgic for the 7th gen is terrifying
I mean... it did start over 15 years ago. It's bigger than the time between Sonic 1 and Sonic '06.
It was 2 generations ago. There are people who likely said the same thing for the 5th generation of gaming back in 2006.
That ModRacers game looked like a lot of fun! I love the designs of the characters and the cars!
I feel that the developers of Pain need to get bonked and sent to horni jail.
This Vol. of Obscure/Lost PS3 games was sick. The Kevin Butler tribute nearly brought me to tears. Great job. Also please review PlayStation Home and The Last Guy next time
You just made me realize how much PAIN awakened within me.
The song playing during the Pan Plush advertisement is called “Anvil Snare Remix” off the 2001 Toonami album ‘Deep Space Bass’
Holy fuck thank you so much
@@pentexsucks43 you’re welcome
If you're doing the Wii next you gotta talk about "Rabbids Go Home" it is the peak of the Rabbids series.
A fellow man of culture
Based
That game is so good that I'm wishing for a re-release
Can I just say how cool it is that Pan uses the old Screwattack music for his intro when he talks about games?
