I can just imagine them having a beloved mascot cow for years and then one day at a fan get together Craig stands up and says all the burgers that were being eaten were Bessy 😭
The Nintendo/Disney part reminded me of something. A few years after that, about 2018/19, they told shareholders that a plan in case of a hostile takeover had been put together. Some were speculating it was due to fears of Tencent buying more shares, but now I'm wondering if Disney's proposal was the catalyst for that.
Get Robert Carter back onto the stream as often as possible! Dig out and expose all that behind the scenes stuff about the biggest entertainment corporation.
59:22 Day 1 patches exist because of consoles and the need for certification to be on them. Development stops on a build once it goes to certification, but bug fixes and balance tweaks still need to be made. Some bugs are even highlighted by the certification team and stipulations are made that the game passes certification as long as these issues are fixed. These are usually the bugs that are focused on to fix in the day 1 patches. Companies will also fix whatever other bug they can fix in time too. I was a game tester at a AAA studio for 15 years that rarely puts out games, but supplies game testing services to companies they publish.
Excellent show guys! Mally Mouse definitely earned my sub today as I’ve never seen her before. Craig, how much money to burn that hat? Looks like the one “Smalls” wears in The Sandlot 😂
This intro is always great, reliving those MXC vibes. And I too want to drink from the firehose, I've been practicing my oatmeal sifting for years now so I think I have a shot.
Ok list for gaming history but the 64DD is really pretty unimportant. Shining Force 3 for the Saturn would have better to highlight as it was one of the very last releases for that system. It just goes to show that 3 choices are simply not enough sometimes. But we are coming up on December 19th which was the release of Panzer Dragoon Orta for the OG Xbox. An important game that was not only the last time Sega released a game in that series but was a big step for them supporting another platform. Sega released a lot of games for the Xbox and frankly it's probably the last generation that they really took chances with. Since the OG Xbox was almost like the Dreamcast 2.0 it makes sense they supported it. Pity it didn't work out.
Shadows is Assassin's Creed in name only the same way that Odyssey or Valhalla is AC in name only. They have very little to do with Assassin's Creed, in the case of Odyssey the only thing they did was Legacy of the First Blade where they remembered, wait this is supposed to be Assassin's Creed. So throw in Darius and that will justify the title.
Both Eggman and Robotnik are correct. Short story: His real name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik, and Dr. Eggman is his super villain name. Long story: In Japan he was named Eggman, but the US decided to rename Robotnik (but kept the egg names for his machines for some reason). They ended up changing his name back to Eggman because it's the answer to a six button puzzle in Sonic Adventure. Then Adventure 2 made the family name Robotnik official by giving him a grandfather and cousin, Gerald and Maria Robotnik.
Execs are greedy and thick and ruin everything is what I got from that interview. Not ground-breaking news but nice to here there are talented intelligent people working for these huge companies, sad that none of them are in charge of these huge companies.
Even if we put Girlboss-san and St Floyd to one side and assume for a second that they'd instead gone with one solid, well-written historically accurate character, even then... the combat, the visual style, the text boxes, the wind effects and environment etc all look like a direct knock off of G.O.T. Like, all they did was copy someone else's game. Ubisoft should have abandoned this fools errand years ago
I work retail wore mask all the time had too I got food stuck in my throat could still breath but I was constantly throwing up i went to hospital had a bag in my face to throw up in the hospital keept telling me to ware a mask I told them I physically can't every 2 mins I would throw up then when they finally saw me they C test me for some reason and I was positive nothing wrong with me just got food stuck in my throat treated me like I had a plague now and the mask ware was even harder lol if I passed that day they would said if C instead of food
im playing indiana jones right now and its not great lots of bugs, boring, bad game design in general besides the linear tomb sections. the reviews you are seeing with such high praise is the exact same thing they did with deathloop. which was the last straw for me with game reviewers thats why i started my channel
Just saw the trailer for the new onimusha game coming out in 2026 and it looks a thousand times better than AC shadows (I know it doesnt take much) but man im excited for it.
Depp is actually not as wealthy as everyone thinks. He spent alot of money on alcohol and other things. So yeah Disney will throw him an overwhelming amount of money and he will jump on it.
Unfortunately, Craig, as long as DEI and ESG has a hold on the world, your idea of a consultancy firm will not fly. You will need almost Elon Musk level money backing you.
It doesn't have a hold of the world, pal. Most places in the world are the exact opposite. It's only infected to west, it's pure propaganda pushed by other nations. I'm dodging the algorithm here, but I'm sure you can guess which country I'm mainly speaking on...
Ya know. I think this statement lacks vision. It underestimates our ability to improve upon things. I asked an artist if ai could replace real artists back in 2019. Now they all seem to be running scared. I say. Don't count it out
I never would have believed AI could do the things that it does now. You don't know how much it will improve in the future. Like Craig said, the writing is on the wall.
Robert was a great guest, thanks for having him on the show.
I can just imagine them having a beloved mascot cow for years and then one day at a fan get together Craig stands up and says all the burgers that were being eaten were Bessy 😭
I had a pet goat that I thought ran away. Turned out we ate him when I was 11. I was told this the day before I joined the military. Thanks mom.
Blabs is such a gem
Waifu material 😁

Johnny Depp wouldn't go back to Disney for any amount of money or alpacas. I guess they offered more than $300 Million and a million alpacas.
We'll see, I get the feeling that he's spineless and Disney will get another travesty of a trilogy out of him.
Excellent show guys! Mally Mouse definitely earned my sub today as I’ve never seen her before. Craig, how much money to burn that hat? Looks like the one “Smalls” wears in The Sandlot 😂
42:44 it can be argued that superchats is tipping
This intro is always great, reliving those MXC vibes. And I too want to drink from the firehose, I've been practicing my oatmeal sifting for years now so I think I have a shot.
Thanks for the VP of Mouse!!
I actually just beat Klonoa door to phantomile and now I'm obsessed with Klonoa. Such a unique amazing platformer. Playing Klonoa 2 now. Wra-Hoo!
Sony spent a lot more than that. You forget they also bought the studio.
Incredible lineup this week. All credit to BLABS 🎉
Robert saying along the way, became bf with Craig. 🤣
Don’t have a cow, Blabs.
Assassin's Creed Shadows Stinks On Ice...
I want that cow. 🥰
It would have made more sense to re-theme splash Mountain to a Fox and the Hound theme

Unpaid overtime! Isn't that illegal no matter where or whom you work for? That's insane!
Not if you are a salary employee or contractor (depending on what your contract is)
He didn't take home 7mil. Twitch takes a cut and. Then you pay taxes. He easily lost 3 or 4 mil.
The 'tiger moment' story explains everything wrong with Disney currently. Movies are supposed to be art, and art withers in bureaucracy.

Let's be honest, Disney's originality died when Bob Iger got greedy buying up companies and franchises.
*Change my mind!*
Marketplace of ideas brah.
had to leave midway, I was called in on my vacation!!!
Where’s the black samurai?

WDW Pro is gonna have a field day with all this information.
This is Rare Donkey Kong, though.😅

I've played a bit if the indiana jones game and its fun, from what i have experienced.
I work retail wore mask all the time had too I got food stuck in my throat could still breath but I was constantly throwing up i went to hospital had a bag in my face to throw up in the hospital keept telling me to ware a mask I told them I physically can't every 2 mins I would throw up then when they finally saw me they C test me for some reason and I was positive nothing wrong with me just got food stuck in my throat treated me like I had a plague now and the mask ware was even harder lol if I passed that day they would said if C instead of food

1:55:13 you guys are not NOT agnostic 💀💀💀
Just saw the trailer for the new onimusha game coming out in 2026 and it looks a thousand times better than AC shadows (I know it doesnt take much) but man im excited for it.
Johnny Depp should demand $100 million from Disney to come back.
Uh, I was figuring 10mil/month minimum.
Depp is actually not as wealthy as everyone thinks. He spent alot of money on alcohol and other things. So yeah Disney will throw him an overwhelming amount of money and he will jump on it.
1:52:58 it’s just sequel trash
Well, it definitely looks like a video game...
Unfortunately, Craig, as long as DEI and ESG has a hold on the world, your idea of a consultancy firm will not fly. You will need almost Elon Musk level money backing you.

1:23:58 - Judaism, son.
I miss PS Home. Mainly because of the shittalking.
AI will never replace VA for performances, you cannot get genuine emotion from a machine. Something I think craig might be forgetting
Ya know. I think this statement lacks vision. It underestimates our ability to improve upon things. I asked an artist if ai could replace real artists back in 2019. Now they all seem to be running scared. I say. Don't count it out
I never would have believed AI could do the things that it does now. You don't know how much it will improve in the future.
Like Craig said, the writing is on the wall.
If Disney had bought Nintendo, the Switch would have been called the Trans.
This podcast has just been falling into e drama and pointless rambling and not even talking about the real problems in gaming etc
@kjtj397 But you're always here, my guy.
