WEBVTT 00:00:25.412 --> 00:00:30.932 Hello, and welcome back to Gamercon, the podcast with me, Clair. 00:00:30.952 --> 00:00:32.592 And me, Brianna. 00:00:32.772 --> 00:00:36.332 This is our podcast where we talk about and review games. 00:00:36.352 --> 00:00:40.352 This week, we're talking about our predictions for E3. 00:00:40.372 --> 00:00:41.592 Yeah, it's super exciting. 00:00:41.652 --> 00:00:43.532 E3 is coming up. 00:00:43.552 --> 00:00:48.692 It'll be up with, I think, about a week after, the week of this episode dropping. 00:00:48.712 --> 00:00:54.332 So we're all really excited to get in and review and predict some upcoming games. 00:00:54.532 --> 00:00:59.992 But I do also want to say, there's some recent video game movie that came out as well. 00:01:00.072 --> 00:01:00.992 Yeah. 00:01:01.012 --> 00:01:02.132 Called Detective Pikachu. 00:01:02.192 --> 00:01:03.152 That is beautiful. 00:01:03.172 --> 00:01:06.172 That was a beautiful and wonderful and amazing film. 00:01:06.312 --> 00:01:07.272 It's a piece of art. 00:01:07.452 --> 00:01:12.532 Yeah, and since we talk about this on the show every week, the show Gamercon, Yeah. 00:01:12.692 --> 00:01:14.332 We talk about it on the show every week. 00:01:14.512 --> 00:01:17.012 I mean, we already reviewed Detective Pikachu last week. 00:01:17.032 --> 00:01:18.932 We already reviewed Detective Pikachu last week. 00:01:18.952 --> 00:01:23.212 I just want to remind everyone that it is a great movie that is extremely fun. 00:01:23.392 --> 00:01:29.072 There, it's really, it's really interesting that there actually are no plot holes whatsoever. 00:01:30.652 --> 00:01:36.952 It actually is, it redefined the movie genre as the most tightly written plot ever to exist ever. 00:01:36.972 --> 00:01:38.132 It's a perfect film. 00:01:38.172 --> 00:01:41.532 Ever since Oedipus, the first tightly written plot. 00:01:41.872 --> 00:01:45.752 Truly the citizen Kane of our generation. 00:01:46.192 --> 00:01:47.252 It's a fun movie. 00:01:47.272 --> 00:01:51.852 Like the real genuine answer of how is Detective Pikachu is it's a really good fun time. 00:01:51.952 --> 00:01:53.912 Which is the conclusion we came to last week. 00:01:53.972 --> 00:01:55.932 Which was the conclusion we came to last week. 00:01:55.952 --> 00:02:01.932 But this week, we're talking upcoming games, E3 2019. 00:02:01.932 --> 00:02:07.552 Yeah, and this year, what we decided to do, just like unlike our previous E3 episodes. 00:02:07.572 --> 00:02:09.412 Because we always do a different thing every single year. 00:02:13.092 --> 00:02:25.212 Yeah, so this year, we put all the previous E3s into an artificial intelligence, and we just asked the artificial intelligence to tell us what was going to come at E3. 00:02:25.212 --> 00:02:27.972 And surprisingly, it's just perfectly predicted. 00:02:28.352 --> 00:02:29.532 It's some brilliant predictions. 00:02:29.552 --> 00:02:33.872 I think we should also maybe stop and explain what E3 is for those who are not... 00:02:34.172 --> 00:02:38.672 I don't know why non-gamers are listening to this gaming podcast, but we should say... 00:02:38.692 --> 00:02:41.912 So E3 is when you have a quarter of a dozen of an egg cart. 00:02:41.932 --> 00:02:43.212 It's only three eggs. 00:02:43.312 --> 00:02:44.372 Yeah, it's three eggs. 00:02:45.412 --> 00:02:52.152 It's also, I think, called the entertainment some other E expo. 00:02:53.052 --> 00:02:55.012 Electronic Entertainment Expo. 00:02:55.032 --> 00:03:04.292 It's a video game, it's the video game conference where all them companies go and say, here's what's coming out soon. 00:03:04.312 --> 00:03:05.952 And everyone gets really hype about it. 00:03:06.632 --> 00:03:09.232 But mostly it's the egg cart thing. 00:03:09.432 --> 00:03:11.292 You crack three eggs and you got E3. 00:03:13.592 --> 00:03:16.292 Our AI has predicted some really, really good gains for us. 00:03:16.312 --> 00:03:18.912 Do you want to tell me what the first thing the AI predicted was? 00:03:18.912 --> 00:03:19.552 Yeah, sure. 00:03:19.552 --> 00:03:23.112 So this one seems pretty obvious. 00:03:23.192 --> 00:03:26.192 Yeah, I fully know what you're about to say. 00:03:26.212 --> 00:03:27.572 I mean, it does seem obvious. 00:03:27.572 --> 00:03:28.512 It does seem obvious. 00:03:28.892 --> 00:03:38.812 When you saw Civilization 6 end up on the Nintendo Switch, you know there is going to be some sort of tie-in and we all know the new Animal Crossing game is coming up. 00:03:39.032 --> 00:03:46.352 And so, of course, it was really easy to predict that Animal Crossing Civilization is coming to Switch. 00:03:47.812 --> 00:03:48.352 Yeah. 00:03:48.572 --> 00:03:52.232 Much like New Leaf, you are the mayor of your city. 00:03:52.252 --> 00:03:55.232 It's really weird that they picked Tom Nook to lead Germany. 00:03:57.832 --> 00:03:58.412 It's true. 00:03:58.412 --> 00:04:00.672 So, well, you're getting ahead of it, Clair. 00:04:00.692 --> 00:04:01.672 You're getting ahead of it. 00:04:01.952 --> 00:04:03.952 So you're the mayor of your city. 00:04:03.972 --> 00:04:04.792 Uh-huh. 00:04:05.072 --> 00:04:07.672 And your job is to build up your city. 00:04:07.752 --> 00:04:09.732 And become the mayor of everybody's city. 00:04:09.752 --> 00:04:11.552 Become the mayor of everybody's city. 00:04:11.612 --> 00:04:17.672 And all the different cities are led by Animal Crossing analogs of real world leaders. 00:04:17.812 --> 00:04:20.852 As you mentioned, Tom Nook is leading Germany. 00:04:21.512 --> 00:04:22.212 Isabelle. 00:04:22.212 --> 00:04:24.152 Isabelle leads every other country. 00:04:25.212 --> 00:04:27.372 She's an alternate for every country, actually. 00:04:27.392 --> 00:04:33.012 Isabelle's an alternate for every country because she can be anywhere, anytime and rock it. 00:04:33.032 --> 00:04:39.532 Like, in fact, if you turn off your civilization game and you come back like a week later, you've probably won because Isabelle's taken over. 00:04:39.612 --> 00:04:41.292 Yeah, exactly, exactly. 00:04:41.292 --> 00:04:42.452 It is a real time. 00:04:42.652 --> 00:04:44.152 It's much like that game. 00:04:44.272 --> 00:04:49.612 There's the game where you play it with your friends and it's over a week and it's a real time. 00:04:49.812 --> 00:04:50.752 It's espionage. 00:04:50.772 --> 00:04:51.952 I think it's called espionage. 00:04:52.032 --> 00:04:53.672 I believe it's called espionage. 00:04:54.072 --> 00:05:02.352 And the game is where you and other people get into a game of it and you play for a week. 00:05:02.612 --> 00:05:09.192 It's always running and you're just trying to build up all your resources and to try to defeat your friends. 00:05:09.232 --> 00:05:11.412 And really, that's my favorite kind of game. 00:05:11.432 --> 00:05:14.972 It's a game that I always constantly have to be thinking about even when it's off. 00:05:14.972 --> 00:05:17.672 One that I just have to constantly be concerned about. 00:05:17.772 --> 00:05:22.372 And that's why Animal Crossing Civilization is so exciting and it's gonna be so, so great. 00:05:22.452 --> 00:05:25.052 It's cool that they offered real time as well. 00:05:25.072 --> 00:05:27.992 You can just play a game that spans 6,000 years. 00:05:28.032 --> 00:05:28.532 It's true. 00:05:28.652 --> 00:05:34.892 The other really interesting thing about it, it's giving new roles to many of our beloved Animal Crossing characters. 00:05:35.092 --> 00:05:38.632 I think the most surprising one is that Brewster is your general. 00:05:38.652 --> 00:05:40.192 That's probably unexpected. 00:05:40.212 --> 00:05:48.052 You know, this cooing bird who was mostly known for making coffee in the cafe. 00:05:48.072 --> 00:05:49.452 Oh, that's why they're called Brewster. 00:05:49.472 --> 00:05:50.372 That's why they're called Brewster. 00:05:51.512 --> 00:05:53.092 I definitely know Animal Crossing. 00:05:53.112 --> 00:06:04.232 Yeah, he will tell your citizens, the other villagers in your city, they are the warriors and they will go out and they will die. 00:06:04.312 --> 00:06:12.812 And this is another departure for the series is rather than people leaving town, they die and then you get new people coming in. 00:06:13.132 --> 00:06:19.072 But you have to be careful because it's possible that new people coming in are coming in from other cities and may in fact be spies. 00:06:19.432 --> 00:06:22.212 So you have to kind of have an iron fist with it. 00:06:22.212 --> 00:06:24.472 It's a lot darker than normal civilization. 00:06:24.492 --> 00:06:26.172 Just sounds like civilization. 00:06:26.532 --> 00:06:34.532 But it's a lot more focused on like, you can see the people who you're trying to like, you know, reveal as like a spy or not, right? 00:06:34.552 --> 00:06:36.932 Like you're a certain personality. 00:06:36.952 --> 00:06:41.612 When you start to love and cherish your characters and then the game decides to take them away from you. 00:06:41.632 --> 00:06:44.972 Well, one of them will be revealed to be a spy and you have to execute them. 00:06:44.992 --> 00:06:46.052 Which is really sad. 00:06:46.072 --> 00:06:54.052 And when you play the real time 6,000 year is like, maybe you've been married to someone for 20 years and they turn out to be a spy and you have to murder your wife. 00:06:54.072 --> 00:07:00.352 See, that's interesting because that's also a new mechanic for Animal Crossing where you can marry people now. 00:07:00.472 --> 00:07:02.532 Lots of people have been asking for that for a while. 00:07:02.592 --> 00:07:07.672 People really wanted to marry the other Animal Crossing villagers, like really, really bad. 00:07:07.832 --> 00:07:09.312 I don't think that's a joke, you know? 00:07:09.892 --> 00:07:10.432 Do you know? 00:07:10.492 --> 00:07:11.072 It's not. 00:07:11.912 --> 00:07:13.312 None of this is a joke, Clair. 00:07:13.332 --> 00:07:15.112 This is what the AI is telling us. 00:07:15.132 --> 00:07:16.452 It's the AI prediction, right? 00:07:16.472 --> 00:07:17.632 It's the AI prediction. 00:07:17.832 --> 00:07:19.852 No jokes here, just an AI. 00:07:19.932 --> 00:07:21.912 But the game isn't just AI. 00:07:21.912 --> 00:07:23.472 See, you can play against your friends. 00:07:23.652 --> 00:07:30.912 You build up a town, your friends build up a town, and you can go to war, make trades, kill your friends' villagers. 00:07:31.052 --> 00:07:32.672 And it can be heart-wrenching. 00:07:32.912 --> 00:07:37.392 I can absolutely see this ruining friendships, for sure, because people are getting... 00:07:37.412 --> 00:07:38.112 I mean, that's the goal. 00:07:38.132 --> 00:07:39.092 That is the goal. 00:07:39.112 --> 00:07:46.252 It's the first antagonistic, explicitly trying to make your friends miserable game. 00:07:46.272 --> 00:07:48.752 It's a new direction for Animal Crossing. 00:07:48.772 --> 00:07:50.872 And kind of a new direction for civilization. 00:07:50.892 --> 00:07:55.572 You really tend to abstract things in civilization, and this is real, and it hurts. 00:07:56.032 --> 00:07:57.032 It hurts a lot. 00:07:57.092 --> 00:07:58.932 And that's what games should be doing, I think. 00:07:58.952 --> 00:07:59.792 They should hurt. 00:07:59.912 --> 00:08:02.612 More games should make you feel bad. 00:08:02.752 --> 00:08:04.412 More games should make you miserable. 00:08:04.632 --> 00:08:08.952 Once you feel miserable, then you can truly say that you are the most depressed. 00:08:09.172 --> 00:08:10.892 Just like all gamers are. 00:08:10.912 --> 00:08:17.452 Is there anything else that you noticed from the AI prediction about Animal Crossing civilization? 00:08:17.472 --> 00:08:22.152 Yeah, so I think the coolest feature that they brought in was visiting each other's towns. 00:08:22.412 --> 00:08:32.972 So while you can send spies over, you can also go shopping in your friends' towns, get their fashion, give them money, and it actually gets them real money. 00:08:32.992 --> 00:08:36.932 So it is fun that this game is like a real e-finance game. 00:08:37.212 --> 00:08:38.392 That's interesting. 00:08:38.412 --> 00:08:41.952 It sort of takes that Eve Online direction as well. 00:08:41.972 --> 00:08:46.232 Yeah, it is based and modeled after Eve Online, a highly successful and praised game. 00:08:46.232 --> 00:08:49.872 And that gives you meaningful benefits in the game as well, right? 00:08:49.892 --> 00:08:52.792 Which you can derive personal meaningful benefits from. 00:08:52.792 --> 00:08:55.772 You pay and you buy this culture, and that adds up to your culture. 00:08:55.892 --> 00:09:03.472 Now you're paying real money, but I think that's a really cool new direction for microtransactions, because you're not paying it to the game developer. 00:09:04.892 --> 00:09:05.372 Yeah. 00:09:05.392 --> 00:09:05.912 Neither... 00:09:05.932 --> 00:09:07.112 You're paying your friends. 00:09:07.132 --> 00:09:08.292 This is socialism. 00:09:08.412 --> 00:09:09.592 This is socialism. 00:09:09.792 --> 00:09:15.612 And that's why that's the only option you have in terms of what government style you want. 00:09:15.652 --> 00:09:16.972 You don't need the authoritarianism. 00:09:16.992 --> 00:09:18.412 You don't need the democracy. 00:09:18.752 --> 00:09:20.052 All you need is communism. 00:09:20.072 --> 00:09:21.492 And that's the tagline. 00:09:21.492 --> 00:09:24.752 Civilization, animal crossing, all you need is communism. 00:09:24.872 --> 00:09:26.232 It's my favorite game title. 00:09:26.772 --> 00:09:29.412 It's a long one, but I think it's gonna do great things. 00:09:29.812 --> 00:09:34.072 Clair, do you wanna tell us about another prediction that the AI is making? 00:09:34.252 --> 00:09:34.652 Yeah. 00:09:34.672 --> 00:09:38.872 So the next prediction that the AI says here, the GameCube Mini. 00:09:39.352 --> 00:09:42.932 And it is bite-sized and they are gummies. 00:09:43.572 --> 00:09:48.732 And so you do just eat the GameCube Mini and then you just see the games in your brain. 00:09:48.932 --> 00:09:51.832 I was a little confused by this prediction. 00:09:52.032 --> 00:09:54.692 So it's the GameCube Mini, you eat the GameCube. 00:09:55.292 --> 00:09:56.532 And you see the games. 00:09:56.992 --> 00:09:58.532 Are you able to interact with them? 00:09:58.552 --> 00:10:01.112 Of course, that's the perk of the GameCube Mini. 00:10:01.492 --> 00:10:04.612 Oh, so it's a really advanced portable system. 00:10:04.632 --> 00:10:06.512 It's not even a handheld, it's a brain health. 00:10:06.532 --> 00:10:09.352 Exactly, yeah, it's the next system. 00:10:09.492 --> 00:10:11.112 Does it have all the GameCube games? 00:10:11.272 --> 00:10:17.212 Yeah, it also has Game Boy games as a special DLC, but that's a suppository. 00:10:22.972 --> 00:10:25.812 Can you explain on the podcast that there's a third person in the room? 00:10:26.992 --> 00:10:29.132 Yeah, so we have a friend here. 00:10:29.192 --> 00:10:33.052 You might hear some background laughter. 00:10:33.392 --> 00:10:36.312 So just like E3, there's an audience. 00:10:36.352 --> 00:10:42.412 I mean, we always have an audience on GameCon, the name of our gaming con. 00:10:42.432 --> 00:10:45.232 The podcast that we do every week. 00:10:45.432 --> 00:10:50.832 The thing that's interesting about that, it's kind of a one-time thing and you just kind of have it. 00:10:52.192 --> 00:10:54.652 I mean, I buy most of my consoles one time. 00:10:54.672 --> 00:10:55.272 What about you? 00:10:55.292 --> 00:10:57.592 Yeah, I buy most of them. 00:10:57.592 --> 00:11:02.472 My thing is you take it and it's just like inside you now. 00:11:02.592 --> 00:11:03.532 It's there forever. 00:11:03.632 --> 00:11:11.532 Yeah, it was Nintendo's way of getting around and sharing games with your friends because you know Nintendo hates when you share games with your friends. 00:11:11.552 --> 00:11:12.252 It's true. 00:11:12.252 --> 00:11:17.492 Yeah, they're going to make so much money off this console that automatically gives you every game for that console. 00:11:17.552 --> 00:11:18.392 How much is the... 00:11:18.832 --> 00:11:20.932 Well, you're forgetting about the new games. 00:11:21.572 --> 00:11:22.212 Oh, right. 00:11:22.232 --> 00:11:24.992 They're releasing new GameCube games. 00:11:25.132 --> 00:11:27.252 Well, they're releasing new GameCube mini games. 00:11:28.152 --> 00:11:29.032 Oh, they're different. 00:11:29.052 --> 00:11:32.972 So we've gotten a question from the audience about system updates. 00:11:33.392 --> 00:11:37.652 And I do just want to clarify that system updates are just a glass of milk. 00:11:40.412 --> 00:11:41.712 It's any glass of milk. 00:11:43.012 --> 00:11:43.952 So if you do want to... 00:11:43.972 --> 00:11:48.612 There's a reaction chemically that causes the system to update. 00:11:48.632 --> 00:11:56.572 The GameCube mini does respond to lactose, which was a problem when lactose intolerant people were eating the GameCube mini. 00:11:57.792 --> 00:11:59.792 But they came up with a solution to that. 00:11:59.912 --> 00:12:02.512 Yeah, it is Nintendo branded lactose free milk. 00:12:02.532 --> 00:12:04.972 It's the only lactose free milk that works, though. 00:12:05.172 --> 00:12:05.992 It's gamer milk. 00:12:06.092 --> 00:12:09.092 It's gamer milk. 00:12:09.412 --> 00:12:12.452 And the great thing about gamer milk is it's so cheap. 00:12:12.472 --> 00:12:13.492 It's such cheap. 00:12:15.172 --> 00:12:18.852 It's only $9.99 per glass a month. 00:12:21.532 --> 00:12:22.952 It is a subscription model. 00:12:27.312 --> 00:12:29.532 Nintendo milk per glass per month. 00:12:29.752 --> 00:12:34.032 It's monthly intake latency connection with a K. 00:12:35.772 --> 00:12:45.792 The other thing that seems really interesting about this product, I am just trying to read this, is it seems like you play it with your mind. 00:12:45.932 --> 00:12:46.652 And your tongue. 00:12:47.012 --> 00:12:48.112 And your tongue. 00:12:49.332 --> 00:12:51.852 How does this, how do you think that this works? 00:12:52.292 --> 00:12:57.552 Well, your mind is made of electricity. 00:12:57.872 --> 00:13:02.952 As we all know, by science, the brain is just an electric. 00:13:03.872 --> 00:13:04.672 That's the end. 00:13:07.372 --> 00:13:10.552 Okay, so what do you think the UI is like? 00:13:10.792 --> 00:13:15.652 The UI is actually individual to every user experience because it is just your brain. 00:13:15.912 --> 00:13:18.572 So it's like, so it comes in the form of thoughts. 00:13:19.652 --> 00:13:22.872 So you think about the UI and then there's the UI. 00:13:23.012 --> 00:13:25.772 Yeah, so every user has their favorite UI. 00:13:25.812 --> 00:13:27.712 It's really fully customizable. 00:13:27.732 --> 00:13:33.312 I'm wondering how easy it's going to be, if it's going to take some work to really get into the mindset of controller. 00:13:33.332 --> 00:13:43.072 I'm worried that at first you're going to have people being like, UI, UI, UI, UI, just trying to like make them think about bringing up the UI. 00:13:43.372 --> 00:13:48.692 I want to play Mario, Mario, Super Mario GameCube. 00:13:48.712 --> 00:13:50.632 This is a new GameCube mini game. 00:13:51.052 --> 00:13:52.792 Super Mario GameCube, please. 00:13:52.872 --> 00:13:54.712 I want to play Super Mario GameCube. 00:13:54.852 --> 00:14:03.092 And you just have them kind of saying it because like much like casting spells in something like Harry Potter, it's very hard to cast them without saying them. 00:14:03.112 --> 00:14:08.492 And so it's going to take some work, I think, to non-verbally play the GameCube mini. 00:14:08.672 --> 00:14:13.992 I think that a lot of people will find that the GameCube mini sort of guides the user along the path. 00:14:14.012 --> 00:14:16.312 It's sort of like, it gives you thoughts to think. 00:14:16.772 --> 00:14:19.112 So, okay, well, it sounds- 00:14:19.112 --> 00:14:19.752 Now I understand. 00:14:21.312 --> 00:14:25.512 Now I know it does sound like there might be an ethical dilemma. 00:14:25.532 --> 00:14:29.732 I am concerned about Nintendo potentially controlling my mind. 00:14:29.732 --> 00:14:32.312 Well, no, it's not mind control. 00:14:32.332 --> 00:14:34.532 It's just suggestive advertisement. 00:14:34.892 --> 00:14:36.092 Oh, suggestive. 00:14:36.312 --> 00:14:37.852 See, that's totally fine. 00:14:38.452 --> 00:14:40.932 If it's just advertisement, then that's fine. 00:14:40.952 --> 00:14:49.052 I mean, like, I didn't want Nintendo to control me because of the secret dark purposes Nintendo has, but if it's just a capitalism thing, that's totally fine. 00:14:49.452 --> 00:14:50.972 That's totally fine, yeah. 00:14:51.132 --> 00:14:54.792 I don't feel like they would ever go against their ethical... 00:14:55.492 --> 00:14:57.212 I mean, you know Nintendo's brand. 00:14:57.472 --> 00:14:58.812 It's the oo-woo gaming. 00:14:58.832 --> 00:15:01.592 Nintendo, the oo-woo of gaming. 00:15:02.612 --> 00:15:03.792 Soft Game Boy. 00:15:08.792 --> 00:15:11.152 They are releasing the Soft Game Boy too. 00:15:12.892 --> 00:15:16.152 Now, is that related to the Suppository Game Boy or... 00:15:16.172 --> 00:15:21.312 It's a very soft... 00:15:21.932 --> 00:15:26.952 It's just kind of a cottony cloud that you put the Suppository in and just sort of... 00:15:27.512 --> 00:15:30.632 And then you play Game Boy with your ass. 00:15:32.352 --> 00:15:39.772 Much like, I mean, it's also with your thoughts, but like how the Mini uses the tongue and thoughts, here it uses the ass and thoughts. 00:15:40.572 --> 00:15:42.872 Fun fact, there's a way to use both at the same time. 00:15:48.744 --> 00:15:53.764 Eat ass, play GameCube Mini and the soft Game Boy at the same time. 00:15:53.924 --> 00:15:55.904 This message is sponsored by Nintendo. 00:15:56.224 --> 00:15:56.984 Wow, that was weird. 00:15:57.004 --> 00:15:58.344 I didn't think that I said that. 00:15:58.364 --> 00:16:02.144 I felt, I feel like I may have just been taken over by Nintendo for a second. 00:16:02.164 --> 00:16:03.984 I'm glad I ate the GameCube Mini. 00:16:04.224 --> 00:16:06.044 We have another question from the audience. 00:16:06.344 --> 00:16:17.404 So the question is about the distinction between projecting thoughts into someone's brain and mind control and concerns of security, which I think is gonna be a really common question that Nintendo is gonna get at their conference. 00:16:17.864 --> 00:16:25.064 And I think we can decidedly say that it's totally fine because we trust Nintendo, we trust companies to not overstep their bounds. 00:16:25.084 --> 00:16:28.924 Companies know what boundaries are and companies respect boundaries. 00:16:28.984 --> 00:16:31.064 We really like companies here. 00:16:31.164 --> 00:16:32.724 Yeah, companies are your friend. 00:16:32.764 --> 00:16:33.844 Companies are your friend. 00:16:33.864 --> 00:16:36.424 That's what E3 is all about. 00:16:36.444 --> 00:16:40.124 It's about bridging the link between the customer and the company. 00:16:40.244 --> 00:16:43.004 It's about making friendships, lasting friendships. 00:16:43.124 --> 00:16:46.564 Friendships exclusively between customer and company. 00:16:47.644 --> 00:16:52.044 And see, this is really interesting because as we all know, Sony is not in E3 this year. 00:16:52.264 --> 00:16:55.464 They decided to not do E3. 00:16:55.484 --> 00:16:57.584 They are not doing it anymore. 00:16:57.604 --> 00:17:04.924 And that's because they didn't want to fit the ethos of building friendship between the customer and the company. 00:17:05.184 --> 00:17:05.784 Oh, okay. 00:17:05.804 --> 00:17:09.164 Because Sony is releasing a completely new IP. 00:17:09.224 --> 00:17:10.544 And it's on the AI. 00:17:10.544 --> 00:17:14.264 It's right here on the AI, our physical AI that's in the room with us. 00:17:14.264 --> 00:17:16.324 It's a tape recording. 00:17:16.644 --> 00:17:17.784 We just press play. 00:17:17.804 --> 00:17:20.984 Yeah, and right here, it says, Anti-Gamer. 00:17:21.304 --> 00:17:27.204 Which, not Anti-Chamber, which is a game that exists, and I've heard is very excellent. 00:17:28.024 --> 00:17:29.084 It's Anti-Gamer. 00:17:29.104 --> 00:17:31.544 Do you want to tell me more about Anti-Gamer? 00:17:31.564 --> 00:17:39.924 Yeah, so it seems that Anti-Gamer is a game where it tailors the experience to the user, depending on how much of a gamer they are. 00:17:40.204 --> 00:17:44.764 And the more of a gamer they are, the worse the experience of the game is. 00:17:45.164 --> 00:17:50.084 If you've never played a video game before, it's fun, it's easy, it's a great time. 00:17:50.104 --> 00:17:56.164 There's a really good story, really interesting visuals, and it's one of the best things that you'll ever play. 00:17:56.524 --> 00:18:00.924 If you are deemed to be a gamer, it's miserable. 00:18:01.044 --> 00:18:02.884 It's not even like, oh, it's hard. 00:18:02.924 --> 00:18:03.824 No, it's not fair. 00:18:03.924 --> 00:18:09.104 It makes you feel bad to play it, which means gamers are gonna love it. 00:18:09.504 --> 00:18:14.924 Because gamers love to feel bad and be miserable about the things that they like, right? 00:18:14.944 --> 00:18:19.244 They really love games that make them feel bad because it makes them feel superior for playing them. 00:18:19.504 --> 00:18:26.244 And so it's really a brilliant concept here to make it so that any and all gamers feel bad while playing this game. 00:18:26.464 --> 00:18:32.344 It's a really interesting list of ways that they're using to determine who is a gamer and how much someone is a gamer. 00:18:32.344 --> 00:18:37.164 The first determinant is, of course, how many games you have in your Steam library. 00:18:38.024 --> 00:18:42.364 If you don't have Steam, even if you play on consoles all the time, you're not a gamer. 00:18:42.584 --> 00:18:44.804 If you play on Origins, not a gamer. 00:18:44.984 --> 00:18:48.744 It's just Steam, because that's what all gamers use. 00:18:48.824 --> 00:18:49.384 Don't you know? 00:18:49.564 --> 00:18:51.424 They have a monopoly on gamers. 00:18:52.444 --> 00:18:55.344 And so how many games you have on Steam is the first determinant. 00:18:55.684 --> 00:18:57.564 Is there another determinant that you're able to see? 00:18:57.664 --> 00:18:59.744 So they do actually check your credit card. 00:18:59.744 --> 00:19:02.904 And so it depends how much you go to Walmart. 00:19:06.404 --> 00:19:08.784 Yep, it does depend how much you go to Walmart. 00:19:08.804 --> 00:19:11.024 Some audience suggested metrics. 00:19:11.224 --> 00:19:12.524 What is your favorite energy drink? 00:19:12.544 --> 00:19:13.604 It has to be Monster. 00:19:13.624 --> 00:19:15.584 If you drink Red Bull, you're not a gamer. 00:19:15.604 --> 00:19:16.184 That's true. 00:19:16.384 --> 00:19:19.504 Now with the Walmart one, just want to pop back to that. 00:19:19.644 --> 00:19:24.784 Is it that if you go to Walmart a lot, does that mean you are a gamer or aren't a gamer? 00:19:25.184 --> 00:19:25.704 Well, both. 00:19:26.024 --> 00:19:29.824 Okay, is there like, it's a even and odd thing? 00:19:29.844 --> 00:19:31.164 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:19:31.184 --> 00:19:33.744 If you go to Walmart an even amount of times, you're a gamer. 00:19:33.764 --> 00:19:36.644 And if you go to Walmart an odd amount of times, you're not a gamer. 00:19:36.664 --> 00:19:37.284 It's true. 00:19:37.364 --> 00:19:39.704 And that is the determinant. 00:19:39.864 --> 00:19:41.364 There's another really important determinant. 00:19:41.624 --> 00:19:45.164 They check your Twitter account and see how many people you've called slurs on Twitter. 00:19:45.464 --> 00:19:49.824 It's particularly if you're yelling at a couple of specific women on Twitter. 00:19:50.544 --> 00:19:55.204 Anyone who's ever been targeted by Gamergate, if you yell slurs at them, you're a gamer. 00:19:55.304 --> 00:19:56.824 Because that's what being a gamer is. 00:19:57.004 --> 00:19:58.944 It's hating women and minorities. 00:19:59.324 --> 00:20:01.004 It's a really interesting algorithm. 00:20:01.004 --> 00:20:07.044 There's also this really interesting question of, are you a real gamer or a fake gamer? 00:20:07.304 --> 00:20:10.984 Now, a real gamer will never say that they are a real gamer. 00:20:11.004 --> 00:20:13.844 It's sort of like the riddle that the Sphinx gives you. 00:20:14.084 --> 00:20:14.544 Right. 00:20:14.904 --> 00:20:16.124 Which riddle is that one? 00:20:16.444 --> 00:20:18.364 Are you a gamer or are you not a gamer? 00:20:18.844 --> 00:20:23.084 The legendary riddle that the Sphinx does ask you is, are you a gamer? 00:20:24.364 --> 00:20:28.724 And if you say yes, the Sphinx kills you instantly on the spot. 00:20:28.784 --> 00:20:33.484 And if you say no, the Sphinx goes, oh, thank God and lets you pass. 00:20:33.504 --> 00:20:35.944 But gamers don't talk about being gamers. 00:20:36.504 --> 00:20:42.984 Now, I do want to ask, you did say this is about being anti-gamer, not just beginner gamer. 00:20:43.264 --> 00:20:46.044 Can you explain the position of anti-gamers? 00:20:46.444 --> 00:20:49.404 Anti-gamers are people who are against gamers. 00:20:49.424 --> 00:20:56.704 And if one of them is tricked into playing this game, because no one would play this game who hates all video games and hates all gamers. 00:20:57.284 --> 00:21:07.484 Anyone who would play who is anti-gamers, who would oppress gamers, who ends up being tricked into playing this, will have a really good experience playing the game. 00:21:07.884 --> 00:21:09.684 This is who the game is made for. 00:21:09.704 --> 00:21:17.724 It's to trick non-gamers into playing this video game by telling them that it's a board game or some other thing that they're totally fine with. 00:21:17.724 --> 00:21:24.104 So how does, can you explain how this is a board game or it looks like a board game? 00:21:24.124 --> 00:21:26.664 Yeah, it looks a lot like a board game, is the thing. 00:21:26.684 --> 00:21:31.144 It's not played on any particular console because an anti-gamer would never use a console. 00:21:32.064 --> 00:21:40.404 So we're getting a question again from our audience about whether or not board games are just medieval versions of video games. 00:21:40.484 --> 00:21:47.884 And while that may be the case, people who are against video games are rarely against board games because the two are clearly super duper different. 00:21:47.964 --> 00:21:50.924 Anti-gamers are totally fine with board games. 00:21:51.324 --> 00:21:52.884 And so it looks like a board. 00:21:52.904 --> 00:21:54.624 That's the first thing about this. 00:21:54.784 --> 00:21:55.324 Okay. 00:21:55.524 --> 00:21:59.764 Now there is a digital component which makes it a video game because that's how video games work. 00:22:00.244 --> 00:22:05.444 But you tell the person, oh yeah, this is just an addition to the board game. 00:22:05.684 --> 00:22:06.804 It's not a video game. 00:22:06.824 --> 00:22:10.164 And they go, then I guess I can play with it. 00:22:10.324 --> 00:22:16.704 And before they know it, they're swept up in this game because they don't even realize, they're like, oh wow, this is a really good board game. 00:22:16.724 --> 00:22:21.224 And you know, they have a controller in their hand and they're like, wow, this board game is awesome. 00:22:21.264 --> 00:22:24.304 So if you start to like this game, are you a gamer then? 00:22:24.724 --> 00:22:27.624 It checks periodically to see if you're enjoying yourself. 00:22:27.784 --> 00:22:28.344 Okay. 00:22:28.364 --> 00:22:30.524 And if it's, well, it asks two questions. 00:22:30.644 --> 00:22:31.704 One, are you enjoying yourself? 00:22:32.504 --> 00:22:35.744 And two, does this make you wanna play video games? 00:22:35.964 --> 00:22:40.064 And if you say yes to the second one, it makes your experience steadily worse. 00:22:40.604 --> 00:22:44.404 Every time you say yes to that, it just is like, all right, we're gonna make this level worse. 00:22:44.444 --> 00:22:45.964 And that doesn't mean harder. 00:22:45.984 --> 00:22:56.324 I wanna clarify, harder does not mean worse because some people have a lot of fun playing games like Dark Souls and stuff like that that are difficult, but you know what they're not into? 00:22:56.604 --> 00:22:57.344 Sonic 06. 00:22:57.664 --> 00:23:00.164 When I say worse, it means the game is glitching more. 00:23:00.184 --> 00:23:05.044 It's boring, it's dull, there's lots of grinding and very little payoff. 00:23:05.044 --> 00:23:09.944 It was a very risky move of Sony to introduce the blue screen, not as a bug, but as a feature. 00:23:10.284 --> 00:23:11.044 Exactly. 00:23:11.064 --> 00:23:15.724 Where you do have to just turn the whole system and in fact, just the power grid off. 00:23:16.264 --> 00:23:22.224 And the best part about that is you completely lose your process, your progress like 100%. 00:23:22.244 --> 00:23:27.884 There's a part 60% of the way into, actually no, it's 85% of the way into the game. 00:23:27.904 --> 00:23:28.924 It's a big distinction. 00:23:29.024 --> 00:23:33.644 Yeah, it's 85% of the way into the game where you completely lose all your progress. 00:23:34.124 --> 00:23:36.304 And if you're a gamer, you can't finish it. 00:23:36.364 --> 00:23:37.484 You can't complete it. 00:23:37.724 --> 00:23:41.004 And if you can't complete a video game, you're no longer a gamer. 00:23:41.204 --> 00:23:45.584 See, anti-gamer isn't about just making gamers feel bad. 00:23:45.584 --> 00:23:48.584 It's about destroying gamers altogether. 00:23:48.784 --> 00:23:51.144 It's about eliminating the class of gamers. 00:23:51.404 --> 00:23:55.644 See, by the time anti-gamer is through with them, no one will be a gamer. 00:23:55.864 --> 00:23:58.144 Gamers will be completely abolished. 00:23:58.364 --> 00:23:59.924 And that is what Sony is doing. 00:23:59.944 --> 00:24:06.364 And that is why they're not at E3, because their whole thing is to destroy video games. 00:24:06.884 --> 00:24:12.044 Oh, I thought Sony wasn't at E3 because they got into a fist fight with Nintendo out in the parking lot. 00:24:12.244 --> 00:24:13.224 That's when it was over. 00:24:15.644 --> 00:24:17.924 And then it was like, we love gamers. 00:24:18.304 --> 00:24:21.584 And Sony was like, we hate gamers. 00:24:21.884 --> 00:24:24.584
