Tyler takes his sleepy-time medicine and Dave doubles down on Monster Energy Ultra Red. Somehow an episode was recorded. And what an episode it is, folks. We’re talking about X-Men for the Sega Genesis. We talk about how some X-Men games are pretty good, and then we talk about this one. We also take some calls, we make some 3DS recommendations and we open a package from Nate Glines.
TADPOG: Tyler and Dave Play Old Games
Ep. 294 – X-Men (Sega Genesis)
Hi there, listener. You're about to experience Tadpog, Tyler and Dave played games, and there will be plenty of game talk. But also, copious amounts of crude, off-color, offensive, and immature speech. So if you are of a rather sensitive, humor constitution, or just letting you know what you're in for with this show, it has games. It has jokes. You know, just games and jokes. Take the games, take the jokes, and have a good time. Oh, hello internet. Welcome to another... Tadpog podcast. Why don't you put your sleepy time hat on? For the sleepy time hat on. What do you call that, though? I'm on the sleepy time timer. I've got the... It's like casting a version of Doom over the podcast. I see the numbers above your head. It looks like we have about eight seconds to do this show. Unless you... You cast stop on me, or slow, it'll make it slow down. I can't do that. I'm not a time age. What? Sure. You're screwed. Hello, internet. This is a show for two old guys. We play two old games. No, we never just play old games. Just an old game. We did play two old games for a while. And then I wanted to do the show once a week. Now, I'll just play an old game. Yeah, and then just talk. I feel like that went really well. Oh, we've received some really good feedback. It was so positive. So positive. Paul Kool upped his Patreon pledge to $50. He was so impressed. It's crazy. Yeah. Thank you, Paul. While I'm saying, Paul, I also want to say, whatever he bought you Gunstar, he rose because he missed out. And I was like, "Oh, I missed out. Bought me the whole thing. So I've got all of it. God bless you, Paul. I love you." He didn't buy me the whole thing. I guess he loves me more. I guess so. If you love Dave just as much. No, it sounds like I get it. If I get it. Just fucking with you, Paul, please don't buy me the whole thing. Buy for me twice. Buy for Tyler again, please. And this week talked about it on Monday's show. We got a package in from Douglas of This Guy's Games. And he sent us, because we referenced it, "Genus X-Men for the Genesis." Right. So now, so I was like, "Yeah, let's do that." And I regretted it. Was that a good decision, David? Did you make a good decision? No. No, I did not make a good decision. I know we're not talking about the game yet, but I did not like this game as a kid. So that should have been an indicator that I probably wouldn't like it as an adult. I'm your beard host, Tyler, and I was fucking obsessed with this game as a kid. X-Men? This one. This X-Men game? This X-Men game. I had been exposed to three X-Men games. This one, which was the cream of the crop. The other one being... Please say Game Gear. X-Men for the Game Gear, which is... A travesty. Oh, it's so bad. I have wanted to love it. I tried so many times. Dude, I get it. I do. I get it. I know. It's awful. And the other, the LJN Classic Spider-Man X-Men arcades. Oh, I thought you were going to go with X-Men NES. Never played it. I think that's LJN as well. That's awful. But yeah, arcades revenge, certainly a worse game than this one that we didn't talk about today. But I remember, because I didn't have a Genesis, and I was obsessed with X-Men. I just wanted a good X-Men game. And I remember, compared to the other two that I had played, playing this one was just... Holy shit. Holy shit. I loved it so much. A few of my friends at Genesis, I would play this constantly. I loved it. I was so bad at it. But then I realized, "Oh, it's just a really difficult, not that well-constructed game." Yeah, I don't think it's designed super well. We'll get into that, right? I got all kinds of gripes. So, hey, but thank you, Douglas, for sending it to us. I want to do it. I want to preface all the horrible things I have to say about the game that we still really appreciate you sending this to the game. Because I remember I went, my cousin, Christy, got married the first time she got married to an awful guy. Now that she's on her second marriage, she's a real magneto-type. A real magneto-type? A real magneto-type? Yeah, a real magneto-type. Now she's married to real Professor X-type. And I love her, her current husband. But I was the ringbearer in her first wedding. And the other, like the ushers or whatever, we're all, we're all around the same age. I'd really met them. They were cousins or something. We went to them in some way. And there were two of them. I remember Tommy and Jeff, I really liked Tommy. He got along really well with Tommy. He was my uncle's brother's son. He was like two years older than me. I globbed onto him, but he was super cool. I remember, like, I mean, it's semi-cringy, semi-cringy. But he was real like Tommy Pickles. It's semi-cringy. He was just a giant baby. That Tommy Dreamer, actually, the hardcore wrestler, somebody at the Royal Appreciate. Yeah, you looked across the table, you saw the vacant look in my eyes, like, oh, I feel like that was delivered like a joke. But I remember, like the final day of the service, like, Tommy and our parents and I were going somewhere and I was like, "I really like you, Tommy. I really hope we stay friends for a while." For ever. That's really nice, Tyler. I like to be your friend too, for a while. I think I ever saw Tommy again after the wedding. The other one, his friend that was also in the wedding, I was somehow related to a guy named Jeff. Jerkett Jeff? No. Just Jerk Jeff. And I didn't really get along so well with Jeff. I mean, not the report that I had with Tommy, but he was okay. You never held choreography up for him? No. Not worth it. Not worth the wrist strength. And so I remember one time Christy had to babysit over there with him and his little sister. With Jeff? With Jeff. Jeff and Jeff and his little sister. Jeff and go to a friend's house and he was babysitting. She was babysitting his little sister. I just went with her. Okay. And like I talked to Jeff and his friend for a little bit and it said I could play games or whatever upstairs in the room when they left. I remember I stayed downstairs and I watched that "Rock-a-doodle-doo" movie. Oh yeah, "Rock-a-doodle." "Rock-a-doodle." And then went upstairs and I saw that they had been playing something. They had like, it was a baseball game paused on the indigenous, just played, you know, loved it. I know where this is going. I just like, I look through their entire library. I was like, oh, holy shit, they have X-Men. I wonder if they'd be mad if I turned this off. They said I could play. No, they won't care. They said you could play? They said I could play in their room. Oh, okay. Got some kind of play. So I turned it off, put it in X-Men, played X-Men all night long. Yeah. Got to the same place I always get because it's very difficult. Choose amateur level. You get to apocalypse, beat apocalypse games over. So if I could barely manage, barely manage, just get to apocalypse. Like only one time did I ever beat him every other time I would die on him or far before him and then just like, as far as it is. I feel like you did pretty well, honestly. It's like, yeah, all right, fuck it. No, no, I'm just never going to play this game. I can't do it hard difficulty to ever get this far ever again. So that's where I quit. But you, but you did that this week. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. I got and remember, I left before Jeff got back. But when I got back, I kept getting calls from an unknown number over and over and over again. I remember like, the next time I saw Christy a few weeks later, she's like, have you heard from Jeff? I was like, no. She's like, oh, you messed up. Something they've been working on forever, some kind of derby game or something. And when you turned off their, their Nintendo, when you try their Nintendo, they were, I've never seen them mad ever. I've also never seen Jeff again for the rest of my life. How long ago was that? Rockin' Doodle to, Rockin' Doodle had just come out on VHS. Okay. So a very, very long time ago. Yeah. A long time ago. Wow. Yeah. How did, how did that mess up their game so bad though? I, I don't know if they were on like trying to pitch a no hitter. I don't know what was going on. But it doesn't say, it doesn't say the season or? We don't get sports. I don't know. Right. You're right. I don't even know what derby, like a home run derby kind of thing. Absolutely. The thing we played on King Griffey on the Super Nintendo list is still part of it. I enjoy it. So I guess that's, they were having a little home run derby or something. I don't know what they were doing, but they were doing something they'd worked on and they were just super mad. Well, they're so mad. He got my phone number. He called me. You know what? You should have just said, oh yeah, there's that power outage, remember? So it was, it already reset anyway. Yeah. What you need to do is just flip the breaker. I walk you through this. Don't worry. You're good. You're good. You're good. That's a part of my X-Men story. I was enamored with this game as a kid. Yeah. Absolutely crazy about it. Man, I was really excited to play it. I really was. And I've told you about my, he's somehow related to me. Gary, you know, I'm talking about the guy who had the Volkswagen rabbit with no floor. Stack his finger in my butthole. No, not that Gary. I mean, maybe. I never asked him. I'm not going to say no. I don't know the answer to that. I don't think so. He was the, my mom used to, my mom told me that he was my cousin somehow, but I don't think, you know, how like, I don't understand how families work, you know? And it's like, yeah, it's like he's, like some kind of extended family. And I remember going to visit him. And he had a genesis and he had this really cool Volkswagen rabbit that I loved that had no floor. So I could look down and see the road beneath us. And I loved it. And I wanted that car. And I remember, you probably afford that car now. I don't know. Maybe. Maybe as long as it has no floor. Maybe. Oh, maybe. And then the, he had a genesis and he had X-Men. And I remember going to his place and playing it. And I was so excited because I had never played it. I knew it existed. I had played, I think at this point, I had played this Capcom X-Men game, X-Men Mutant Apocalypse on the SNES. Yeah. We've talked about it on the show. Oh, yeah. If you've already played that then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I had played that and then like, oh man, I cannot wait. And I played his copy of X-Men for the Genesis. And immediately, I was like, oh no. This is bad. Like, I'm not, this isn't as good as Mutant Apocalypse. And he was like, there's another one. I don't own it, but there's an X-Men 2 Clone Wars for the Genesis. He said, you want to go rent it? I was like, yeah, of course I do. So we got in his Volkswagen Rabbit and we drove to, I'm sure it was a blockbuster. That's a pretty cool, that's a pretty cool molester your mom loaned you out to. Yeah, no, no, it was great. No, it was great. I mean, just, he made me feel really safe. Is that about no weird stuff? I just, no, I'll give you 200 bucks. I'm just like, hang out with the kid, you know, be like, that's fine. You know, if he happens in the winter and showers and we're in the shower, but that's like, that's all, that's all. Yeah. No, that's it. Just look at the menu. Kick can't order anything. I don't have a kids menu. He gets regular menu. I dress up like Shoney Bear. It's not a, it's not a, it's not a thing. I mean, unless he's sexually attracted to Shoney Bear. Well, which I am, of course. Maybe less there would have been no like, oh, no, yeah. Let's listen to see how this happened out. And that's how I ended up changing my last name. We read at X-Men 2, the Clone Wars. And that game is like a billion times better than this, this X-Men 1 game. I guess we got to do it then. I would like to play it at some point for the show. Okay. I remember being amazed by two things. I haven't played this game since I was at Gary's house. One thing, I could play a Psylocke. I remember thinking that was cool. And number two, the first level has snow in it. And not just like, not just gentle snowflakes. It's like blizzard snow. And I remember that being striking. I was like, oh man, this game looks good. And like, the characters moved like in dynamic fashion, unlike how they move in this game, which is just standing straight up. Like, well, that's a weird swagger going on. But I mean, you could be Psylocke in that Game Gear version. Yes, you can. But oh man. Oh, that could be a whole other thing talking about that game alone. It'd be so bad. Like the way you had to kill Sebastian Shaw. You're getting fresh batteries and you're probably going to run out. You have to be connected to a wall if you're going to beat Sebastian Shaw. That's pretty fun. I think that stuff is moniker be plugged into a wall. If you're going to be old Sebastian Shaw. I think 90% of the time when I played the Game Gear, it was plugged into the wall. Yeah, it had to be. It had to be. You go broke buying batteries. Yes. Yeah. Game Gear was actually invented by energizer. Nothing to do with Sega. But before we delve any deeper in an X-Men, we do have a package. We do. This lovely, this lovely, lovely package sent to us by... I think that's Nathan Glinds. Yeah. Uh, I believe so. It's on the Ziggy. It's on the Ziggy Return Address label, which Nicole pointed out that they must give those away for free because it's the second Ziggy Return Address label that we receive. Some good circulars. Any good deals? Anything from Toys R Us? You're not even looking. Oh, shit. Vision works now that we both need glasses. We can buy one and get ones when we go splitsies. You want to go in together? Yeah, we should. You want to drive the nearest vision works, which is probably 300 miles away. I definitely do. And Red Plum, this is the store, the Red Plum. The Red Plum? I mean... I'm not familiar with that. Plum is used to what, uh, it was slang for my girlfriend's photo at home at one point. Oh, backpoon. Backpoon. Backpoon. The plum. Why did you call her "butthole the plum"? I try to think. Why did I do that? This wasn't something she came up with. No, it was just some inside joke where I said something like that. Like, with dang, girl, this tastes like a plum. Surely I didn't say it looked like a plum. Girl, I think you got a bacterial infection. That "butthole" looks all plum. Like, it's like all red. I'm going to bite your plum. Oh, what is this? It's not a circular. It's a Patreon donation. It's a sandwich bag with Patreon donation. There's a letter inside of it. Yes. What's that say? Is that say "wanted"? I should have sent these during fallout block. P.S. Sharpie was a bad choice. He's not a butt Sharpie. And it's written on some sort of stationary, wanted Jim Rayner, Dominion security directive, dead or alive. That's some starcraft shit. Well, yeah. So what are these? Bottle caps? Bottle caps from various beards. I see a Heineken in there. What's that light green one? Blue moon. Corona, black green one. I have no idea. Sam Adams, Rogue, Miller Highlives, Sierra Nevada. He sent us Rogue because we knew we were talking about X-Men. It's true. Rhino, there you go. Oh, we're not talking about Spider-Man. We didn't need a Rhino. So what's this worth, do you think? Oh, it depends. There is like a formula for it to what caps to dollars would be. Who? Who am I save that for next to last? Oh God. So there's like 22 caps in here. All right. This looks nice. Project Japan. Watermelon gummy candy. Casua guy, watermelon gummy candy is very delicious. Please have a fun time with this watermelon gummy candy. Watermelon, watermelon gummy can be gluten free. It can be gluten free and be gluten free. I took my meds before I took this. Yeah, it looks like any other gelatin product. Do you think that we can do you think we can muster up some fun? This whole pack. That's fun and delicious, delicious. Oh man. Wow. What's the timer? What are we at? Oh no. Oh no. Maybe this will sinner me. Yeah. Delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious. Oh my God. What? That is stinky. No, it just looks like polyps. Polyps, I don't want that one. Give me the other polyps. Yeah, give me another polyp. You know what, my finger follows. No. All right. It's up there. I mean, they feel juicy. It does. Honestly, it feels like it's made out of fleshlight material. It does. It could be cut off fleshlights. Oh, we have to have fun. It's good. Mm. Very delicious, having a fun time. They don't know what sugar is in Japan, right? Mm-hmm. I think it's pretty good. And I don't. Oh, I could. I'm not a fan. Oh, I could. And that's that's all you buddy. I'm going to shove eating it though. Nah. Put it all in a convenient pile. Mm. Strawberry gummy candy. Okay. All right. Casu a guy. Strawberry gummy candy is very delicious. Have a fun time with strawberry gummy candy, also gluten-free. Well, we didn't really have a fun time with the watermelon. Do you think? What do you think? Can we do it? Okay, time. Can we do it? Can we have fun? Try. Some of them. Some of them at this point. There you go. I won't think of your strawberry. Thank you. My plum can handle it. My strawberry in there. Cannot. All right. Oh, this is much better. It's pretty good. This is much better than the watermelon. Another one. Yes, I do. They kind of taste like... Did you ever have any of the gummy medicine? You mean flesh? Yeah. Have you ever eaten a man Tyler? Tell me about this. Have you ever had the gummy medicine? Or like gummy vitamins or something like that? Okay. They kind of love me that. Well, I'll see that. Because it's like, they're like, it's kind of candy. Peach gummy candy. The peach is the fruit, the longest history in the Orient. Japan goes on original kind. White peach. Please enjoy juicy flavor of real peaches in kusugai peach gummy candy. Okay, it's same brand and everything. Yep. Do you like peaches? I do. I love peaches. Yeah. I don't know. There you go. Thank you. It's pretty good. These actually do taste like peaches. Strawberry is probably better. Yeah. Strawberry is my favorite. So far. Okay. This. Hmm. What is that? Oh God. Is it horrible meat? Yep. God. What is it? Is that a devil on the can? What is that? And why does that packaging not fit the can? It's camo. Did he make this himself? This looks like homemade candy. It's a limited edition, I guess, for the military. Underwood lives an edition, deviled ham spread. Do we need crackers or something or do we need to put it on a donut? I've got those non-crackers. Okay. Yeah, let's put some on on. All right. So once you peel off this already disturbing label, you get something even more disturbing. Just a nondescript. Nondescript steel can. In a small, it's compacted, it's tight, and you know. Yeah. Why are you doing this to us? Here, let me go ahead and get a. I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to line up a couple strawberry gummies. Yeah. One more thing down here. Oh, shit. Are you saving the most disgusting thing? No, I saved one sweet thing out there. All right. I'm going to shake the chase this way. Okay. Oh, yeah. That's the sound of. That's the sound of satisfaction. Man. That is 100% straight up like opening river and skies. Cat food, Tim. All right. We're going to track some cats. Okay, would you like me to scoop this up for you on a non-cracker? Please, sir. Finger my non, please. Oh, this looks gross, man. Oh, yeah. Dude, this looks gross. Yeah, it does. Oh, okay. There he is. We have the proper. This, you're not kidding. This smells like cat food. All right. Let's dig in. That's really bad. Yeah, it's super gross. Yep. I got hit with a different meat flavor about halfway through. I got hit with a tuna flavor. There's probably some in there. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jesus. I'm going to put this on Phil's dick. Brothers, if you're not in the room, I'm not implying when I still feel this here, to improve the taste. I must first cover it with duffled ham. But otherwise the picture, he would drew up dicks. I am placing it on it as a coaster. So now it's over wood. No. I'm sure your dick tastes pretty tasty. It does not need devil to him. Sandwich boat, Bill. If Bulbasaur wants to weigh in on that, please feel free. Yeah. I'm curious how your plum tastes. Oh, I got chases from strawberry gummies. I would refer to her when she would bend over. Who? The girl had the plum. Okay. But would she bend over? It looked like a peach. So that's why I called it the plum. She had the peach on the front and the plum on the front. Why plum? I don't know. It could just easily be big. I don't know how to stick plum. Plum sounds more butthole. I guess. I mean, it kind of does. Old-fashioned caramel dip. Okay. Mm-hmm. I have a weird, I don't know if I've talked about it before. Do we need apples or something? Yeah. Fingers. Old-fashioned caramel dip. Oh, he has scratched out caramel and written pussy. Oh, right. Because we got to be at the practice fingering. That's right. And parentheses. Sorry, Taryn, underneath that. Yeah. Yeah. I could show you now, David. Yes, please. I need a demonstration. My fingers would get so gross with the whole rest of the night if I do that. This is also not deep enough. Oh, yeah. Because my fingers have to be able to go all the way in. That's your preference. Like I had to get that big jumbo tub at Walmart of caramel dip. So we're just going to eat this whole thing, right? We're going to do shots of caramel dip. I'm going to eat something to get that ham taste in my mouth. Pretty good. Tastes like the current caramel you'll find like at caramel apples at fairs. Yeah, this is good. And it does feel like a vagina. Yeah. I didn't know what I was missing out on. It feels like a cold, damp vagina. Sticky? New sticky is all fucking get out. Yeah. Because you know, when you stick a dick in a vagina, it's like wrapping it in duct tape. Now I do. Yep. Is that something that you did? Yeah, you can. All right. That's good. That's good caramel dip. What else? More, more, more, more. This is pretty sweet. I hope Ken is doing better. And here's Doc McStuffins and Landy DVD. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, that's pretty awesome. Thank you very, very much. She fucking loves Doc McStuffins. And she will, she will love this. Is that the director's cut? That's the criteria collection. Yeah. Eight hours of commentary. No, that's, that's incredibly nice. Thank you very, very much. According to Reddit, a bottle cap is worth about $62.16. So he sent us a bunch of money. That's, there's like 22 caps in there. I'm not going to do that math in my head, but that's a lot. All right. That's a good package. That was great. Thank you. Thank you very much for sending that except for the horrible me. I get, I understand why you sent the Underwood meat. Yeah. But come on. It was not delicious. Like the, like the other stuff. But it evened out. It evened out is good. And I'm sure if you were here, you would eat some of this. With us. Yes. Absolutely. Because you know the rule, you bring canned meat, you have to eat it. Everyone knows, everyone knows that's the rule. I thought everyone knew that was the rule. But last time I said that, they got the message like, you cut me straight to my heart. So the next time Micah comes on, I'm going to have a ton of weird meat for him to try. And we don't have to try it too. Perfect. It's going to be great. Perfect. We'll just watch him. Yeah. We'll just watch him choke on our meat and just laugh. You know, like what we meant to do the first time. Yeah, you like that caramel dip, don't you? Memories. Yeah. All right. Do I buy X-Men? Yes. Let's talk about X-Men. You hear that Dave? I do hear that. It's the swarp train. It's the sound of me practicing fingering in a caramel dip. Which of course, as you know, ushers in a segment that we like to call, they reach Wikipedia. You're only going to town on that caramel dip. I like it. I like it. It's a hit. This is going to break down and make you finally jump over this table and have meat. Finally, finally, your seduction techniques have warmed my cold heart. And I must. Tyler all sweaty from my heart is in this room. Eyes half glaze over barely away from the meds. Just swirling his makeup, cramming that caramel into his beard and crusted mouth. Talking about plums. Man, I just cannot handle it anymore. I like to every time I engage in sexual activities, I like to yell out a size from Coldstone Creamery. Got to have it. After we're done, just like it. And if I leave a tip, I get a song. That's exactly true. Okay, guys, the slurp, the sound of the slurping, of course, ushers in a segment we like to call, Dave, read some Wikipedia. X-Men, 1993 video game. X-Men as a home console video game produced by Sega in 1993. Sega, Johnny, Sega, Sega. Based on the adventures of the Marvel Comics superhero team, the X-Men. One or two players can play as any of the four prechos in X-Men. X-Men is a Mega Drive Genesis exclusive game and in 1995, was followed up by X-Men 2, Colin. Electric Bugaloo. Electric Bugaloo Clone Wars. That's all it has for a little opening. It is, let's see, classified on Wikipedia as an action platforming video game. I think that's accurate. I just wanted to make sure they did not call it a brawler. Plot. The game takes place in the danger room. It's the most dangerous room in the mansion. It's where all of them go to get murdered after Professor X is done with them sexually. It's a training area. Oh, my bad. I was wrong. It's a training area for the X-Men inside the X-Mansion. A virus, Tyler, transmitted via satellite has infected the danger room. They do not mention that that virus was sent from asteroid M. Magneto pointed his satellite dish at the X-Mansion and shot ones and zeros at them until he got control of the danger room. That happens. There's a cut scene in the game where literally ones and zeros come out of a satellite dish and head towards her. The virus infects the danger room and disables control and safety limits. The X-Men must endure the unpredictable behavior of the danger room until the virus can be located and eliminated. Once the virus is eliminated, the X-Men discover that Magneto is behind the computer virus in the final stage involves a battle with him. I have to read the description on the back of the box sent to us by Douglas. Please. Magneto makes his move. The evil mutant Magneto has devised the world's deadliest computer virus it's sole purpose to destroy the uncanny X-Men. I mean it's a program on his part time. I was about to say yeah. Very gifted. Now Wolverine, Gambit, Cyclops, and Nightcrawler join Storm, Iceman, Archangel Jean Grey and Rogue to stop Magneto from came about his diabolical plan. Their target Magneto's secret base on asteroid M but lying in ambush are the murderous Archvillains, Juggernaut, Sabertune, Mojo, and Death Bird. But they're not really lying in weight. No, they're actually computer programs. They just saved the creatures and turned all the way off. Simulations, that's all. Will Wolverine's adamantium claws and Gambit's energy charge playing cards be enough to beat the forces Magneto? We're not going to say anything about Nightcrawler's teleportation or Cyclops' ice beams. Will they be enough to defeat the forces of Magneto? That's up to you. Fates in your hands. Fates in your hands. That's up to you. You know it is interesting. Whatever. You feel like doing it? You feel like spending time with your mother? Whatever. It's whatever you want to do. All right. So that's it. That's what the game's all about. So basically you are the first four that are mentioned. Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Gambit, and Cyclops. And all the others are summons basically. Yeah. You can hit pause and you can call upon the power of Knights of the Round, aka Archangel. That is the boss buster, I think, of all the summons. You can summon Iceman, who makes a cool little bridge, which apparently you can use to skip bosses. Like that's his main. That's what I knew it has because I thought he was pretty useless for the most part until I figured out when you fight Sabretooth, he's below a ledge and you can just sort of jump up and summon him and he comes straight across, blocking off Sabret from jumping up and you just walk through him the next wrist level. I think it works for Juggernaut too. I think in the Savage Land, if you jump and use Iceman before Juggernaut appears in that area, you can just walk right across and he never spawns. So on one hand, like I feel like you could say, that's bullshit. That's horrible programming. But then I think the developers could be like, look, Magneto's not really a good programmer. So you're just exploiting a glitch in the virus. You're better than him. Rogue, I never used. She just sort of punches once real hard. Yeah, she just flies up and just punches. That part is cool. I do like the sounds she makes. Storm clears everything. She flies up and clears everything on the screen. I use her own bosses too, but not too as great effect as Archangel. Archangel Wolf's flying once, shoot, razor feathers, another angle. He does it like three times and it deals a lot of damage. And when you don't know how to beat a boss, like me, because I did not know how to beat any of these bosses, just like I summoned the power of Archangel and he would usually take care of the things for me. But this game, yeah, it's, I mean, if you're really practicing to know what to do, it's not that bad. But if you don't, it's really bad. I don't say it's really bad. It's just, it's, I don't even want to say the game is challenging. The game is just, I think it's kind of brutal. Yeah. And I don't want to say that music is bad because I feel like some of it is kind of like, remember as a kid, I love the X-Men theme to that. But it sounds awful through the gymnastics. Man, the Genesis, like sound system is like just two Coke bottles or two Coke cans with the ends cut off and just, it's so crazy tinny. Like just get better at how good the sound is on Super Nintendo. It's man. It's just, I think the sound of the game is pretty annoying. Yeah. And I agree. I don't think like the, the composition of the music or the array. Like, I think the music is fine. Like it would be fine if it was not be not on the Genesis. You don't have a classic trademark sound of Wolverine's Claws extending. Swoosh. Although I will say that it was, but I did spend probably three minutes. This is no joke. Standing there as Wolverine, pushing the claws out and then retracting them, but just over and over again. Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. I think it's a cool feature. I know I've watched the angry video game nerd did all of Wolverine's games and he was so pissed off that he just didn't have his claws out all the time on every single game. I was like, I think there's something to be said to enjoy the pressing a button popping your claws. I agree with that. But what I, what I don't like is that, okay, so every one, every, each of the four X-Men that you play as in this game has a health bar and then they have an energy bar and that energy bar represents how often they can use their mutant power. So whenever you have Wolverine's claws out, that energy bar starts to pleading. And I fucking hate that. I hate that. I love that you can press a button and his claws come out. Like that's cool. But like when his claws are out, that tick that time is ticking man, that bar is just draining. And it's, it's bullshit. Like that should be, that should be his healing factor. If it's anything, whatever you get hit, then your special slowly goes down in your health. You can go back up with your claws or just I didn't realize this rule effect. But he does regenerate. It just takes forever. Like if you just stand still, his health will slowly fill up. But it is like, it's a crawl. It's almost, it felt like the developers are like, well, as mutant power is healing, I guess we should, I guess we have to put that in the game. But can we just make it so that it is excruciating to actually take advantage? I know what actually wants to do it. Yeah, let's do that. Let's do it. But then like, so the controls are okay, depending on the character. Yeah. And they all control a little differently. And I'm okay with that. Cause like Gambit has a double jump where he kind of spins and you can, you can attack with his staff while he's spinning. And he kind of does this like Donatello thing from the first Ninja Turtles game on the NES, which this game reminds me of a lot because you can switch whatever Xmen you have at any time. So like you can pause if you're playing Wolverine and he's getting really hurt and you don't have the 30 minutes to stand there and let his health regenerate, you can pause it and then switch out. You can tag out to like Nightcrawler or whomever and then finish out the level with that character. And I like that. That's cool. And some of the levels are actually designed. It seems like some of the levels are designed for you to switch characters out. Yeah. Instead of just going in, for example, going in with Cyclops, doing the whole level with Cyclops and then ending it with Cyclops. Cause like the jungle in the first is like Gambit is best equipped to jump through the level cause the platforming. And then even when you fight Juggernaut at the end, Juggernaut is probably the easiest boss. You remember much too with anybody, but Gambit is easy just because he has the most powerful stick in the game. He's got a long stick and he just like, you have to have a long stick. You just hit Juggernaut with it like eight times and if I can kill Juggernaut, I don't know why this was such a big deal in the comics. I don't either. Just hit them with a stick. Yeah, not as kinetic hard or anything. No, no, no, no, you got that fucking stick. And then what after that, you go through, what was the second level? Shire Empire. Yeah. Shire. Shire. I don't know how to pronounce it. Which if you're not crawler, like you usually have to go through these elevators and go up and hit these buttons to lower down elevators and shit like that. But it's not crawler. Just teleport through all the walls. And I like that. I like that. That's cool. Like that. I honestly think that Night Crawler is one of the most powerful characters in the game. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Just because like his reach of his kick, because like if you hold down, if you crouch and kick, he does that move where he holds himself up with one of his arms and then pushes both of his legs out as far as they go. The reach on that is insane. It's almost as long as gambit stick, I think. Almost. Yeah. And then that crawler is like you teleport through people and kill them. Right. So it's not just like useful for maneuvering. That's what, because I, because as a kid, you know, I could get to Apocalypse. I think I might have beaten him once. And then of course, try it on a higher difficulty. And I just like, fuck this. And I never went back. You get to fake in this. That's what you're saying. Yeah. Oh, it pissed me off because I tried so hard for so long just to fucking get to Apocalypse because this game was just brutal to me as a kid. And then I saw I watched a video of somebody playing through as Night Crawler and like apparently Apocalypse is weak to Night Crawler because he would just do teleport into just teleport. So you're still in fact, that glowing ball of Night Crawler. Yeah. Just to him and just sit there. He takes damage, shrinks back again, you go back. He takes two steps forward, forward grows again. Now you just teleport right in them, just sit there for a second. Just right in the same spot. Just right. Just take teleport, one step forward, and then one step back. And I was like, Oh, fuck. But so not. Do you think that's going to be in the new movie? Yeah. Did you ever so okay? So you played it on Amateurs the lowest because it goes amateur hero and then superhero. So you never got to the part in the game where you have to reset the console? No. What? Yeah. Yeah. There's a part in the game where you get, okay, so you're in the danger room. You go through these simulations and then Professor X shows up psychically and says, Hey, I know I realize that something's wrong here. I'm working on trying to figure it out. What you're going to have to do is you're going to have to get through this next simulation. And then you're going to have to manually reset the console. That's what he says. So I remember playing this over at Gary's. I remember playing this and being like, All right. Okay. I don't that doesn't make any sense. Okay. And then I got through that level. And then there's no like real content. There's like no way to like reset the computer console. So I don't know what to do. And then I found out doing research for this show that you literally have to hit the reset button on the Genesis in order to progress any farther. And there are people who who confirm the biggest fear I would have about doing that. I have read online people being like, Yeah, I can never get to work. I'd always hit reset. And then just I'd have to start over from the very beginning. Oh, God, that's fucking crazy. I know. So there's some fourth wall shit, which is like, I can appreciate right. But like at the same time, like, man, for a game like this, and like, you have to invest a certain amount of time to get to that point in the game. And there's no like password system or there's no way to save your progress in the game. So if you hit reset, it does not fucking work. It's just like, well, all right, I guess I have to spend a couple more hours getting back here. Oh my God. The passwords in this game also involve a lot of that kind of like, okay, you have to hold up A and C, pull the controller out, plug it into port two, and then hit left, right? I mean, it's just like, man, I mean, more of the watermelon things go for it. I was good for caramel dip. No, mix them up. Oh, you're out of caramel dip here, buddy. Okay, you could have mine. I don't want it to go to waste won't. As soon as you leave, I am fucking that I'm putting all three into the flesh light. The bosses in this game, I felt like for the most part, we're obscure. Some of them are like from the before I was born. You are an X-men guy. You need to look up one of them. Yeah, I, you know what, I kind of, I kind of hesitate to say that I am an X-men guy because it's like, I have like huge gaps in my knowledge about X-men. Like, I'm not, I've never been a huge fan of any of the Shire Empire stuff. Like the, like the more spacey and science fiction that like X-men would get the less interested I was in. I really liked like all the time travel stuff. Like that's really cool. But any time they go to like, anytime they kind of go like the fantastic four route and they're like, we're going to go to space. I'm like, I'm going to not read that arc because it's just not interesting to me. But yeah, I had to look up, I wasn't sure who Zaladein was. I had to look up Zaladein, who is the boss of the first level. I had to look up Ahab because I did not remember Ahab. Great villain. And when I looked him up, I was like, all right, okay. So he's, he looks just as lame as he does in the video game. He is the X-men version of Captain Ahab. Hard. Yeah. Deathbird is in the game. I guess the biggest, the biggest get would be Apocalypse. They've got Apocalypse, Juggernaut, and Sabretooth. And I feel like those are like the three like, oh yeah, I'm glad that those were in the game. And then Mojo is in the game. I always kind of liked Mojo. And then Magneto, of course, is the boss. Spoilers. Is Sabretooth's healing factor as good as Wolverine's? Yeah, that's a good question. Because like, I don't know the answer to that. And the reason is, because like, like the scale of power for X-men and just honestly like comic books in general just fluctuates wildly depending on who's writing it. Yeah. And then sometimes they'll do arcs where it's like, oh, well, we'll do an arc about his healing factor isn't working as normal. So we got to figure out what's going on there. So at any given time, I don't fucking know the answer to that. And I usually do like story arcs where they talk about like, where they play with their power, either growing or regressing that kind of stuff. I would guess Wolverine, I put my money on Wolverine. I don't know. Stuff like I've heard in now people are talking about Deadpool a lot online. Yeah. Who's comparable blah, blah, like Deadpool has the best regeneration that like below him is Wolverine. And then that's kind of what I was wondering about Sabretooth. Yeah. And Deadpool's has certainly grown. I think like his, his power is directly related to how popular he is. Like Deadpool, Deadpool is the equivalent of a D&D deity and that the more followers he has, the stronger he is. And I think honestly like that's just how comic books work because it's like Wolverine got crazy popular. And then all of a sudden Wolverine became like a super badass. Like he was pretty badass when he first appeared, but I mean, it just, it just escalates. You know what I mean? Yeah. Superman. I don't know. Superman was really a product of that, but like Superman like got a new power, like every other issue would, you know, way, way back. You know, I like, I like Superman. He's the most like me, you know, yeah, I get it. No, I do. By most Americans, you know, we're super powerful. We're vulnerable to most things. Yes. Stanford taxes. It's all about we just got to get rid of that. None of that little Kryptonian taxes going to get us. Yeah. No, I, I agree. Down with Kryptonian taxes. That's what I always say. That's how I vote. I vote with my heart. I didn't really, wasn't crazy about how fight a boss, but you had to figure out how to leave the stage before you could leave. Yeah. Well, I just want you to beat the final boss. Just if I couldn't leave the stage one. Yeah. Because yeah, there are instances where you beat the boss and then you just kind of wander and not really even in a fun way. Like it's in a way where it's like, do the game just break? Like, like, I feel like this is over. Maybe not. I do, I love how when you fall off a ledge, Jean Grey picks you up. I like that. I thought that that's really cool. I've forgotten about that. Because I remember in like the savage land, it happened all the fucking time. Like, I would just fall out of trees. And it's like, I remember the first time it happened when I was replaying it. And I was like, Oh, well, fuck. Oh, cool. There she is. She got me. She got me. You still lose a shit ton of life. Because she really hurts you when she does it. When she. Yeah. She's almost the finish of this stage. Yeah. It's not very nice. The stages are too long. I felt like some of the stages are very, very, very long. Some of the stages are long, unfund mazes, I thought. Oh, the Shire Empire stuff was awful. Yeah. Asteroid M is a really, really long. I mean, I probably this lighthouse isn't like, it can be frustrating. Yeah. I think that's another one that you can just kind of skip with. Not crawling, right? You just kind of just go straight up. It's a lot easier that way. And I like that. I mean, I like that that's built into the game. And then it like doesn't break the game, you know, because it's like a lot of times in games where you can like quote unquote teleport, but it's not built into the game. Like the game just starts degrading from that point where it's just like, all right, we've entered bizarre version of this game. So let's see how it rolls out. Yeah. I don't know, man. I thought that I would like that maybe with my with my fresh adult eyes that I would be able to kind of find some good points in this game. And there are some good points, but I just don't think that it's not awful. It's just it's it's it's mediocre. It's difficult. And yeah, but it's it's okay. It's a mediocre game. Yeah. I think they're worse X-Men games. Oh, God. Yes. They're much, much worse X-Men games if but I will say this, if you're not a fan of X-Men, I don't think you're going to appreciate this game. Oh, absolutely not. It's like it's fun and it's all merit. It's funny because you can be the X-Men. Right. That's like liking liking the X-Men is probably the that's the barrier to entry for this game because I don't think on its own. You take the X-Men out of this and replace them with just generic characters and you've got to you have a bad game on your hands. Yeah. But if you're a fan of 70s X-Men, like this is your wheel. Yeah. You like late 70s X-Men? Yeah, you're going to like this late 70s X-Men early 90s video games. Perfect. Yeah. And you could tell that they did kind of like like someone on the development team was like, uh, there's a cartoon. Should we like put things from the cartoon in it too? And they were like, uh, yeah, sure. What's on the cartoon? Uh, Sabertooth? Yeah, we'll put Sabertooth in. What else? Um, Mr. Sinister? No, no, no, no. What are the kids like these days? Oh, pirates. Is there a pirate X-Man? Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Ask old Ned. Hey, old dad. Oh, I was a big fan of a have. Remember that 1977 Fantastic Four annual? Yeah. Was there a pirate in that? There was. Oh, I've thought about him and starts sometime. Gather around, programmers. Let me tell you a tale of what is basically a rip off of Captain Ahab. They just dropped the captain and got away with it. He's a space captain. Space captain Ahab. He's a captain, the original captain. They have great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandson. Come back to destroy the X-Men. He's captain of industry Ahab. What else? What else could be said? The Magneto fight is weird and it just like survive until he drops his magnetic shield and then hit him. Yeah. Bless you. Oh, my goodness. Bless you. I can't tell if it's the meds that you've taken or that your allergic reaction to the candy. But yes, I should take a photograph of you right now because you look seasick. Damn it. I talked about Ahab too much and he found me. You do. You look seasick. No, I'm here, damn it. This is a sad punk. Yeah. Well, that's about a shooting game. Oh, double Sundays. You don't know what you're going to get. So a child in nostalgia broken a little bit. It needed to be because this game like, I don't know, I just thought it was cool just because it was the only X-Men game that wasn't awful up to that point. Yeah, absolutely. I do want to play X-Men 2 Clone Wars. I want to see if that is as good as I remember it. It probably is, but I still want to check it out. You know, you can't hold anything and steam from your childhood. That's a big. I have to hold it up. Yes. And judge. As a purifying light. Yes. You have to go to Judgment House to have God read off its real name and then judge it to heaven or else. That would be really fun. Can we bring the copy? Can we bring God on the show? We do that every week, Tyler. It's way to April. But can we go to Judgment House and bring the X-Men cartridge on the Genesis and ask that it me judge? And then whatever you write in your name, writing X-Men for Sega Genesis. Dave Moore, Tyler Holland, X-Men for Sega Genesis. Mega Man 7 for this, S-N-E-S. Echo the Dolphin for Game Gear. Jurassic Park where you can play as the Raptor. We all know you get a pass because you're the Raptor. Go. You're fine. Thank you. We need to play that for the show. You really do need to do Jurassic Park for the Genesis. I can play Lee Agree. Are we done? Are we done with X-Men? I think so because we've talked about, I mean, there's not as many levels as I would have remembered. There aren't many levels. So it's relatively short if you know what you're doing. There's six long excruciating levels with no checkpoints. I watched a shitty speedrun done in about 30 minutes. So I spent more time than that getting past the first level. It took me a long time to remember that I could switch out X-Men. There you go. And that's key. That is key because it is very difficult to make it through an entire level. Once you use one of your call on X-Men, it's very hard to find. You can find replacements hidden in the level, but they're really, really well hidden. And they replenish at the beginning of the next level, which is nice. I think they easily could have been like, nah, fuck them. Once you use it, it's gone. Yeah, it's gone until you find a pallet. So I don't know. I feel kind of bad like shitting on it. And I feel like I've done that, but it's just not that great. It's just not that great. It's not that great. It's not awful, but it's not that great. Tyler. Yes, Dave. Had fun today. Did you? Did you? How about remember it? Kind of. I've tried to have. I'll text you tomorrow and be like, dude, I cannot believe all the racist stuff you said on the show. What were you thinking, man? If Trump can do it, I mean, maybe that's a way to grow our show. It's just to get really racist. Go to the Trump route. Yeah. So not just like playfully jabbing our super fans, but just like really tearing into them and calling everyone racist. If you were to give this game a beard, what kind of beard would you give it, Tyler? I would have to give this my summer of after my senior year beard. Okay. I don't really remember that. We hadn't really met at that point. It was coming in. Yeah. It was okay. A downy beard. Yeah. Yeah, downy soft. Yeah. Kind of patchy, but solid enough that I had a beard. You could pull it off. It was okay. Okay. That's impressive. I feel like that's impressive, Tyler. Yes, Dave. If you were to give this game a pair of glasses, that sums up how you feel about it, what kind of glasses would you give it? I would have to give this a pair of glasses. It's a mediocre pair of glasses. The glasses that I used to have in the old annex, they're very blue and wavy and thick glasses. Eyeglasses? No, drinking glasses. Drinking glasses. That I stole from the neighbor after they skipped out of town and let their house go into foreclosure, so I just went in there. It's like, oh, hey, free glasses. And corner cat. And corner, I'll be out. Did you get corner cat? Yeah, I got corner cat. Really? Yeah. In my house, got corner cat. It's a very cute little cat that you hang on the corner of any door. It's like it's just kind of barely hanging on playfully. Yeah. It's a good luck charm. Yeah, it's the best. I mean, not for the previous owner of that house. Hey, they left us. They're bad. That's good. So those glasses, they're okay glasses. The blue wavy glasses. The blue wavy glasses. Check that box. Do you have any achievements for this game? The Iceman Cometh. All right. And that's how you use Iceman to block saber tooth. Okay, perfect. I also have that as achievement, but it's called Saberto. How did I not even get there? In order to like Saberto, you use Iceman to block saber tooth. Because you do it. You cut him off, right? Yeah. Yeah. He's like jumping up constantly, like trying to get through the ice. Poor Saberto. Yeah. My boy, Saberto. And I guess my second achievement would be Snicky, Snicky Snore will be berserk style. I'm pretty sure I used already for mutant apocalypse. But in order to unlock that, you go through the entire game as Wolverine without using your claws once. Because you are emulating. You're emulating having your claws. You're not actually using them. Do you have any other achievements? Oh, I dark one just man. A dark one just popped into my head. I don't know if I want to use it. I don't know if I want to use it. Well, then no. Well, I'll say it. And you tell me, you tell me what you think. You want me to be the arbiter? You want me to be the arbiter of days. I mean, I have a few days to edit this one. Let me make sure my reference is correct. Oh, man. Some homework's going into this one. Some improv homework. Okay. This one, this one is called. And there you go. All right. Yeah. All right. We can leave that in and leave it in. Got any other achievements? Nope. Nope. I've got a little segment I like to do. I stole from sandwich Pope Phil called YouTube comments presented by the red drinking glasses from Pizza Hut in the 80s and 90s. Yeah. You remember those? Yeah. I think they're still at like the country castle. Yeah. I think you're right. I do think they use those glasses, which is I'm gonna have to go buy there because those popped in my head for some reason the other day and I like got on eBay and I was like, please tell me I can buy these somewhere for the house. All right. Here we go. First comment. I played this game and it's hard. You're right about Nightcrawler being one of the best characters in the game because I played as him a lot because he's the best character, but an X-Men 2 Clone Wars, he is the worst character in the game. What did they do to Nightcrawler? But I don't hate this game. It's a great game. I beat the game on easy. Something great of games you'll be on easy. And that's not really beating the game either. I read it. I read it based on its punctuation. That was all one long sentence and all lowercase letters. Second comment. I remember using the Nightcrawler glitch when it was my turn to play and my brother getting so mad about it, trying to tell me I was cheating. Fuck him. Very good. Yeah, I'm with you. Fuck him. He's just y'all. He didn't know. Last of it. OMG. I haven't played this since it came out. I love playing this back in the day. Is kid. I missed those time. Just buy me retro this month. I end up getting all me old school Marvel game from the saga Genesis to the Super Nintendo. I miss these games so much. Thank for this video. It great to see somebody out there. Love these old game. That is something he put through Google Translate. Absolutely. My favorite is Saga Genesis. I do like that a lot. Saga Jinesis. Saga Jinesis. The most delicious console out there. That will be my Star Wars online character. Saga Jinesis. So, okay, real talk. I know you mentioned I was the first time we recorded here in the high rise. I was very concerned that we were keeping your brother and his wife up. He said he does not hear a single peep that we make. All right, well that's good because I know that I'm loud when we record. Apparently, he insulated this room very, very well. Yeah, that's good. Okay. If we were raking him up, he would probably like, because when he's ambient out, he would probably crack open this door or walk in with just stick his wiener in. It's just a she barely draped over him. Like the both times he's doing like it's full like pubes and balls. I just can't see his dick. He doesn't wrap around it. Wrap it around him. He slings it over his shoulder and just walks in. And whenever he walked in the last time and said something Danielle was like Ryan, stop that. It's just my brother who gives a shit. That's true. I've seen it before. Now, since it was the size of like a button mushroom, but yeah. Well, Ryan, I know you're listening to this on your way to work. So I'm sorry if I'm loud, you guys can hear me. I hope that I'm not keeping you up. I try to bottle it, but I can't. I just can't. Can't do it. Tyler. I wanted to do a little segment called Where Are They Now? Okay. However, I was thwarted. Western Technologies Inc is a red link on Wikipedia, which means there's no entry for them. So they never existed or this game doomed them. Yeah, okay. They were like two years later when Capcom did X-Men Mutant Apocalypse, they just threw their hands up in the air. They were like, we're done. Shut it down. We're done. We could never make another X-Men game. Tyler, I do want to know how much this game is on Amazon. If you were to gas, how much this game is right now on Amazon used, how much do you think you'd pay for it? $15. $15. That's a good guess. Tyler, actual retail value of X-Men on the Saga Jinesis at the time of this recording used on Amazon is $9 even. $9. Is it worth $9? Oh, maybe. I think from a collecting standpoint. The collection. I think from a collecting standpoint, it's worth $9. I don't know, I don't know if the gameplay is worth $9. But owning the cartridge, I do think, is worth $9. It's got a good art. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, yeah. And I forgot to mention that this game came out when Jim Lee was penciling X-Men. So you can tell they try to translate that into the video game. You can tell that it's based on Jim Lee's drawings, but that's about it. Graphics aren't horrible. Yeah. And then even in the cut scenes, they do these panel things. You remember the, I guess, the first Hulk movie where he fights dogs, Jennifer Connolly is in it, and they do those panel transition scenes. It's kind of like that. They got inspiration from the Saga Jinesis game. Saga Jinesis. Anything else? That's all I got, man. That's all I got. Well, you can probably take one or two calls and take some calls. Okay. Since we didn't on our Monday all call show. Yep. All right. Google Voice. Here we go. Our first call is actually a text message. It's from 520 who says obligatory motherfucking tadpog. Wondering other than bravely default, what games I should try on the DS. Phoenix Wright, all the Phoenix Wright games. Yeah. I know you like those. I think they're okay. Yeah. Professor Layton, I love all those games as well. Yeah. Move all those matchsticks around. That's one of the titles. I really feel like Sweden, there's Sweden in Decresis on the DS. What? I didn't know this. What is that? Just another Sweden game. I haven't played it all the way through. Jacob Bidd really liked it. Paper Mario Sticker Star is very good. Fire Emblem on the 3DS. I like the Mario Kart for 3DS. I think that is good. Bravely Default was probably the game that I spent the most time with on the 3DS and the game that I really stuck with and played it all the way through and almost went back and played it a second time. I'm really looking forward to Bravely 2nd, which is coming out very soon, right? Isn't that coming out? I think it's like end of this year. Is it? I thought it was like April. April came out April. Yeah, April, April 15th release date. For US. For North America. Huh? Okay. So I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully we don't have to play it five times to get through it. I love 999 and Virtues Last Reward for DS and 3DS. Meg loved Final Fantasy Explorers on the 3DS. Yeah, that looked good. I want to play that, but it's one of those where it's like I want to play it on a new 3DS and I do not own a new 3DS and I don't want to buy one just to have a better experience with that game. Earthbound is coming out on I think it's just the new 3DS virtual console store. So if you have a new 3DS, then Earthbound. Absolutely. I like the NES remix. I haven't, but I haven't played it yet. It's fun. That should be pretty. I could just start it. Yeah, you're good. I'm sure as I drive home, something else would come to mind. But we got another text message from the same number who says, Tadpog, after dark, now with more flying toasters. What? I don't catch, I'm not sure I catch the reference. I'm familiar with the Flying Toaster screen saver from old Macintosh computers. But I feel like that's not the correct reference. We forget most of what we said the show after the show. Oh, sure. It might make sense. Oh, yeah, we just don't get it. Yeah, we might have said something. But yes, no, I walk out of here and it's just like, it's gone. Yeah. And I don't have, I don't have an excuse for that either. I really, I do not. All right. Here is an actual voicemail. Thank you very much, 520, by the way, for your question. Here we go, 757. You know, you're doing something right when in your recent call logs, all it is, is wife and Tadpog. It's a beautiful thing. What's up, guys? This is Adam. You're the love of it. I love it, Adam. Just calling in, just finished the Garm Field episode with Phil and enjoyed that. I didn't even look up any kind of game play of the game. I just listened to your sweet, sweet voices describe to me this beautiful game and really have no desire to play it even almost. I like Garm Field. No, you should. He's a good guy. I like his cartoon. Even though, like you said, the cartoon strip isn't really that engaging. But I did want to let you know you probably already got it by now, but I thank you a package to the PO Box. I really enjoyed sending that to you. You'll get this message well after you've gotten the package. Enjoy that. But I did want to call in and share a story with you, and I maybe asked a question. There was a video, I'm not video, podcast or two ago where you guys talked about fruit and talked about the aftershave. I just wanted to let you guys know that when I was in middle school, early high school, Brute was the deodorant of choice that my mom purchased from you because I was a grown ass man at 11 and 12 years old. You're my little Brute. For some reason, I got the idea to rub Brute, deodorant all over my palms and jerk off with it. If you will, I'll never forget going into my family's living room and my mom said, did you just put deodorant on? And I had that cold sweat of shame after jerking off in the bathroom with my own deodorant that I just ran into my room and fell asleep. So I just wanted to ask you guys what's a little stress leave off with? Hopefully that's a fun conversation. And if not, just remember, I did it with Brute. So hopefully you guys are doing well and I will give you guys calls soon and try to call my wife as much as I call you, I guess, whatever. I don't have that luxury with you guys. Thanks for calling out. I think I've talked about a story that I had before where I jerked off and I still cannot smell the smell without thinking about it. But I jerked off with it was Right Guard, but it was they that gel right guard where you would click it up and it would come out like squares like a Play-Doh played the factory where just like a whole bunch of little squares rise up and I just scooped the layer off and I jerked off with that. It was fine. It was okay. Yeah, it was fine. It's just like that smell, just like the smell of that and the exercise and the finishing lock all that put together is this smell. Oh, that finishing smell. I will never capstone. I will never ever forget it. Like I smell it. It's almost mildly aroused and like, should I be jerking off? Should I be? Okay. Okay. I can't remember if I talked about this on the mics or not. Did I talk about the Golden Lasso? Are you familiar with that? I don't think so. The Golden Lasso is. Are you familiar with Stetson? Yes. Yes. So Stetson makes a whole bunch of things that smell like Stetson cologne. They make this like hand gel, they make lotion, et cetera, et cetera. You name it and they probably make it. Breakfast cereal, Stetson breakfast cereal. It's coming soon. Golden Lasso is using Stetson hand lotion to jerk off way. That's giving yourself a Golden Lasso. Someone else can give you a Golden Lasso by giving you a hand job with Stetson lotion. The reason I know this is, man, I know all kinds of Stetson facts because someone at my work found a bottle of Stetson lotion and took it upon themselves to, first of all, put it. Check everyone off the office. Oh, it's like free, free, free tug day. You know, we've got a calendar. It says Tuesday. He just took out the E and put in a G. It's a tugs day. Tugs day. All day or a day. Tugs day. First of all, he bathed in it, so he smelled like Stetson for like about three days, and then he would hide. He would hide drops of Stetson lotion and chairs. He would hide like put it on the phones. I mean, it was just like, I would get hit with it and it would be like, I smell, oh man, and then I try to like figure out where the Stetson was. Yep, it was on my phone. It was on my phone receiver. So there you go. Oh man, I've jerked off so much stuff. I really have. And it's like, I've had like varying degrees of allergic reactions to them. Like, it's just in college, it was just at any given moment, my deck would be like cured meat, just because it would just like, I would just jerk it with whatever was on hand. But yeah, I'm a toothpaste. Yeah, sure. Bring it on. I'm sure that I get the job done. That's probably about it time wise. Okay. Yeah. All right, we're good. Beloved Adam. Thank you so much for calling us. Thank you. Thanks for listening, everyone. That's my whole spiel. Hey, listen to everybody. You find the show on iTunes, Sitcher. Sitcher sound cloud. So I missed the next episode for the shit Monday. Who the fuck knows? I'm just going to chat it up. Fuck knows. Should we talk about some of the games? Actually, take some calls. I don't know. Yeah, we might. Yeah. You want to tell people what we're talking about playing? No, no, it's not set in stone for next the following Wednesday. Yeah, yeah, for the following Wednesday. Okay, go ahead, because I forgot. Well, we talked about doing the arcade version of X-Men. Perfect. You still on board for that? I know that came out on like the 360. It might have come out on PSN. I'm not sure. And then we're planning on doing, we're also planning on doing the Simpsons arcade game at some point. And then we had also talked about doing something else. We'll figure it out. But there's two. There's two you guys can work on if you want to. Let's see. iTunes, big start in place. We need those. So please subscribe. Give the show a five star rating writer review.

I kind of got thrown off because I usually say Facebook first. So, and I wasn't paying attention. My brain was kind of in that like, what do you call it? A beta wave or whatever? You know how when you're driving and then all of a sudden you're home? That's what just happened to my brain. So, I'm sorry if that didn't make any sense, everybody. I wasn't paying attention to what I was saying. We're on Facebook, by the way. If I haven't already said that, you can find us at Facebook.com/dadpog.

And if you have a Ziggy return address label, please use it. Yeah, please do. If we can make that a thing, like if we could revive Ziggy, if that fog does one thing. Dave, a Ziggy never left. That's actually you're just reading the t-shirt that I'm wearing right now. Our theme song is moves by Ziggy More Drive. I only did that track and found the show notes at tadpog.com. Excellent. How would you like to close it out? I think that we should close it out. Is Stetson Man a thing? Yeah. Stetson Man. I think we should close it out like Stetson Man. All right. Or his cousin, Marlboro Man. You know what you picked. They are. They are very close. Yeah. His gay lover, Marlboro Man. Yes. So until next time, well, we got that tropical round there, you know, around that bend of that stream. Take that on over there up to the Capricorn. What you got there at the end of the day, it's your hard day's labor, get your beans, your coffee. Vittles. You have vittles. You have yourself. I'll drop a merry little Christmas. Ma'am. Up to the Capricorn. So really, Dave, you found another game that sounded like quite a bit of fun to do in prom to last minute with Josh. Yeah. It's what I mean. It's what I want to do. So if it's really bad, it's all on me. But I don't think it's going to be bad because it's, I mean, just by the name. Sounds like it's in our wheelhouse. Yeah. It's called the leather goddesses of Phobos.
