"I'm not gay" -Dustin furman 😂😂

There’s something adorable about Dusty’s mom taking him to a theme park at this age.

How is nobody in these comments talking about that fart Colin pulled off? I cannot believe how clear that was.

"Real syrup fucking sucks" is a Micah level food take

Jim Ross... BY GAWD, AS GOD IS MY WITNESS HE'S BROKEN IN HALF!!!

Do an international honeymoon for Gods sake. Don’t gaslight her into not wanting to go. A flight to Germany isn’t as bad as you made it seem. Literally just went there from JFK 2 weeks ago.

A nearly 20 minute timestamp simply titled “Bread” is just what the doctor ordered

THE DAGSTER WILL RETURN

I will not stand for the real maple syrup blasphemy Colin! STAND DOWN SIR!

COD4 was made in 2 years by a team of 100 people. Games used to be developed with what is now considered tiny cheap teams. 3 Mass Effect games in 5 years, entire series started and finished in a single generation.

I also don't know what people expected. Psvr1 soled 5M-6M. Why do people expect that a more expensive headset, which pretty much started with en empty catalogue would sell much better?

Plz DONT kill knock back. Just do movies or personal topics to keep prep light. Love the purity of bros only chats.

Please stop saying niche wrong colin

Chris "Pigeon Kicker" Raygun

14:39 Good ol' JR. Jim Ross

We need a life-size cardboard replica of Jim Ryan on Dustin's feed, while he's gone.

Colin needs to stand down on the real maple syrup hate

The Getaway remake would be so special. One of my favorite games ever. I’m super nostalgic about it

I hope Chris is prepared to read "The Trix Rabbit's Tentacle Ears" as someone's Patreon name on the Snark Tank this week

I completely forgot that Colin never changed Eve’s outfit in Stellar Blade. That’s insane to me! That was one of the core components of the game. Lol. And I’m also surprised he didn’t like any other outfits. The yellow Kill Bill looking one was awesome!

23:52 replayed this like 15 times in the car this morning. I must've looked like a maniac during rush hour.

I keep butter in a covered dish outside the fridge. Never had an issue.

Unlocking things in Astro Bot won't mean anything more or less to a kid than the outfits in Mario Odyssey

One of the issues with PS Plus this month is that two of the games Boarderlands 3 and NHL are both games that sold a bunch and fans of those games already own. This might be a entitlement thing but some of the better PS Plus months are when they include games that are not selling a million copies.

As someone who's been a Patron supporter for many many years, I can say I support the rotating third chair!

Game dev here, boss rush modes (like done in Sekiro) cost absolutely no money nor effort. The only "expense" here is QA, to make sure the mode works well and without glitches, but that's pretty much it. It's very simple, and I am dumbfounded how no other From games have that mode, at launch or otherwise.

I like the vastly different answers for the 17th century video game reveal. Colin: Space Dustin: Stippers Chris: Blocks

I don’t get the weird astrobot hate from Chris. I think it’s going to do a lot for kids because it allows them to learn about PlayStation history that they have missed.

Table Syrup over Maple Syrup...horrible take

I agree with Colin, random guests every week wouldn't sit well

George 100% runs into a flock of Pigeons and takes one out, after he ran one over earlier in the episode. "We had a deal!"

Doink is not a little person. lol

Return of the Obra Dinn is a truly excellent game. Highly recommend

Whipped butter sounds like the least manly thing in the world

I've heard Colin policing how other people play games. A few episodes ago he criticized people who only played the golden path in FF7 Rebirth for playing it wrong and missing key parts of the game. He insisted that his way of doing everything in the game is the correct way. I don't disagree, but would point out that it seemed hypocritical for him to criticize Souls fans for supposedly policing others similarly.

"Real syrup sucks" Man it really is a new bad take within the first hour every week. The cheap syrup tastes so fake and bad to me lol I think Colin just needs to try another kind of "real" syrup. It's just not going to taste like straight sugar like the cheap stuff. Goes great as the sweetener in an old fashioned too! Though I'm sure Colin thinks that is sacrilege as well lol

Honestly, Stellar Blade was fantastic, so glad it's had the success it has. Definitely in my top 3 games this year. Still waiting for the OST, game's soundtrack is stellar (pun intended.)

Happy weekend everyone!

2:07:26 Companies on July 1st Stellar Blade being considered a sales failure is mostly coming from the usual suspects, the game needs a bad narrative attached to it. I expected it to sell more but, this game had everything stacked against it. It's selling at the same pace as DD2, which ended up selling 2.5M in 3 months. I hope Shift Up, in a sequel, just improve what they got right and fix what they got wrong.

I'm going to be very upset if Colin doesn't start episode 420 with a massive bong hit

As soon as Colin said Santa ain’t real I had a flash to all the write ins who say they listen while their kids are around. lol

It’s a podcast where Dagon and Collin review OF accounts

3:36:08 - colin has that natural toot boost

Dustin talking about Abby finishing off Kirby brought me back to when beyond would talk about characters coming to playstation Allstars. Specifically, Jim Mapson and Ethan Mars.

The disguts Colin says Hawk Tuah 💀💀💀💀

Metacritic critic reviews are fake. User reviews are the real measure of how good the game is.

Great ep. I'm glad to hear the Dagster will be back 🤘

Colin is so negative towards VR that he’s reading bullshit articles writing negatively towards it 😂 What source is this? Sony have a ‘PSVR2 division’?

Replace Dustin with Tom Sweeney

If you’re wanting to get rid of knockback I would consider giving Dagan a movie/animation show if he wants to do something like that. As much as I appreciate Dagan talking about anything there’s a noticeable uptick in passion and expertise when he starts talking animation.

Chris looking like Todd Howard 😂

Sly Cooper in Smash would be pretty cool

It's always funny when Colin randomly decides to run defense for The Last of Us Part II and both Chris & Dustin who we know didn't really enjoy it are just like "yeah..."

The thing about waiting to see if the gameplay in Concord is good kind of ignores the idea that as a live service game, this will need a long tail. If people love the gameplay, but think the story is trash, what will give this game that long tail? Great gameplay will get people in the door, but they will tire of it eventually. Fortnite has all of the collaborations to keep people coming back. Destiny as a PvE game has events and raids to keep people coming back. What is going to have people keep coming back to Concord if all they are doing is playing the same gameplay loop over and over again? There are just too many live service games out there to pull people away, or people have already chosen their live service games. They need some sort of hook other than the gameplay to keep people interested in the game. That's assuming that as Colin keeps saying, Sony isn't in the Live Service arena just to sell a decent amount of copies, but they want a once in a lifetime success like Fortnite.

1:35:09 I understand Chris' point, but i think of the historical collectibles in 2 ways: 1. Yes it is a nostalgic aspect for those of us who have been with PlayStation for a long time. 2. For those who are younger/newer PlayStation fans, it can be a way to see PlayStations history and maybe even get into some retro gaming via them.

First hour of this show never fails man. I have no clue how to describe it but it’s great everytime

i thought colin is observing game industry worldwide, but don't know about japan minimum salary. japanese wages is around 20k annually for entry level. which is why nintendo is not having problem budgetwise, not because they are the best but most of their developer is in japan and in 2 place (kyoto, tokyo). while other platform studios are scattered worldwide. nintendo method is good because if 1 division flop, and other succeed, they can cover these loses but if your studios is located in multiple countries, cities, you will need different salary and multiple upkeep cost for each studio. sales of games will go to each studio, if it's flop, prepare to layoff and closure. nintendo is lucky, yen is weak (60% weaker than 2017), you get more money from US and europe while your employee salary only up 20% mostly. SIE most successful games are from their US and Europe studio, they will attract talent in those region but with high cost. nintendo, japan, cheap cost, very popular game in japan, easy to get talent. SIE best studio in japan right now is only PD, they are making lots of profit. only 2% of PS4 player care about games from Japan Studio. Japan never really care about most of game from sie, so you will have a hard time to get talent from japan.

I am here to report to Colin I had the same exact experience he had with cereal growing up. Mom always had it in the fridge to preserve it and then went to friends houses and no one else did that 😂

Cannot wait for astrobot, I have my physical copy pre-ordered. I can already tell this will be one of the best games of the year. I do agree with Chris, that this full-size game is the one where they should have established Astro's own identity. Rather than referencing beloved PlayStation hallmarks, like Astros playroom.

Soy sauce stays fresh tasting in the fridge longer if a bottle lasts you a while

I would play Time Crisis for 5 hours.

Slithering ‘n sliding into the weekend with the bois! Have a good one all!

Never trust oulets early reviews. They have a monetary and accessible vested interest to not talk truthfully! The gamers will decide when it's out

Give me tenchu wrath of heaven ps2.

Holy shit the fact that Colin is SO NEGATIVE that he’s even shitting on the “Huack tuah” meme is too much. C’mon old man… relax. It’s funny that she answered the question that way and was so ready for it. It’s not that deep. Is this just him being prude? Contrarian?

Holy shit, Dustin hit the nail on the head with the map layering being horrendous in Erdtree! That was my main complaint, the map is almost useless in some cases, it’s borderline unreadable in half the areas

1:14:00 You have to understand a game is typically in beta LONG before a public beta test, but is technically still in beta at that point. Really, a public beta test SHOULD be one of the last things you do to tighten the screws before the game goes to print. Many internal play tests, bugfixes, netcode testing is done in beta before the public even gets to sniff its clammy loins. So we can absolutely still call it a public beta, because thats exactly what it is.

If its not Dustin plz keep the duo

aPRISHiate

Colin, real syrup all the way. It’s a far superior flavor especially on pancakes. So good. 🤤🤤

Aloy has a sword Dustin? REALLY?

Chris doesn't seem to get the idea that Astro Bot is aimed at two target audiences simultaneously. It should appeal to younger players with its fun and tactile gameplay, colorful visuals and accessible main missions. It's also aimed at older Playstation fans with numerous callbacks to Playstation's history, classic platformer gameplay and more difficult side challenges.

I’m all for the rotating third chair

My grandmother kept butter out covered in a lid. It was always soft for toast spreading.

Why is Astro's dev a surprise? That's probably most of their studio, they are quite small

3:36:07 you’re welcome

Only 4 and half hours!? What a travesty

Shout out to Texas toast. Also putting every loaf of bread in the freezer, except for the one you're using which goes in the fridge. That's the way to go.

On the sugar topic: You can't have traditional bread without sugar. When making bread from scratch, sugar is used to activate the yeast in the bread to develop the gluten and let it rise. Some people use honey, some use sugar. Some people opt to use a pinch of sugar in their tomato sauce to help offset some of the acidity. You don't really need it though imo.

Chris I have to know was the steak house Black Angus? They had delicious brown squaw bread. Best part of going there since the steaks were kinda mediocre

I downloaded that Minecraft PS5 version and enabled some of the new settings, and it soft-locked my PS5 before I even finished one in-game day. Lmao

Finished my no summon no cheese run of SotE. Love souls games but these DLC bosses felt very cheap. Was like Sekiro speed level bosses but with dated 2011 DS1 combat. Didn’t fit well together.

I'd love to see the original Wipeout, OG Motorstorm, and the Maximo games on PS5.

I think Chris might just be really really good at games and he misses difficulty spikes therefore. He didnt notice it in Elden Ring, and maybe im wrong but he gave Crash 4 a great review without mentioning the poorly executed, harsh difficulty spike towards the end. Meaning he possibly didnt notice that too? I feel im more of a Colin than a Chris so this stood out to me.

Gay-lic is the pronunciation in Ireland, in Scotland we say Gah-lic

PSVR is greatly hindered by its product name as well. You hear PS and immediately think “Oh i need a PlayStation for this” or are greatly impacted by your previous experience with the brand, fan or not. As Sony, i would have completely rebranded this as a separate product, that is capable of being partnered with your PlayStation but its own separate thing as well. I would have called it VRS for Virtual Reality Station or simply The RS for The Reality Station. A reason why Nintendo products work, is its distinction as a product from one another, you get that the DS is different and new compared to the Gameboy or Switch from Wii.

I do believe the bread Chris is referring to is served at Cheesecake Factory! That stuff is too good. Also, pizza on naan bread is great lol.

54:01 play some Jose Alfredo Jimenez...or some old trios music, now that I'm in my late 30s, i enjoy the old Spanish music my grandparents listened to.

Wow, I didn't know that Still Wakes the Deep was developed by the Chinese room. Dear Esther and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture are fantastic.

I love how people have 10 yr old packets of ketchup but somehow think it's necessary to refrigerate bottles of it. My family has never put ketchup in the fridge and 1/2 sticks of butter are in a container in the kitchen as well.

Let's get Alter Echo ported over lol. I don't think I ever got to beat it.

No , not playing for months might have some influence in how people perceive the DLC difficulty but for me I finished the main game in the same month and then continued with the DLC and the difficulty spike is obvious especially considering the scaling with the Scadutree fragments but lvling up the Scad fragments makes the game more balanced.

My son is 7, loves astros playroom and unlocking all the older tech throughout PlayStations history.

PSVR 2, $950 in Australia, ps5 console $799 + at least one or 2 games at $125 each = $1,999 at those prices wide spread adoption is not viable

Chris ,Outback was the one with the brown bread. Used to work there and we'd take a loaf with the honey butter and add brown sugar. That shit is delicious. Kitchen Manager used to charge employees a dollar for bread, just gotta take a couple and take it to the walk in freezer

Generally when you make bread from scratch you'll put 1tsp sugar just to help activate the yeast

“Chef Boyardee’s a date rapist” lol

iirc Nioh had two or three staggered betas and to their credit changed gameplay for the better. weapon durability was taken out and replaced with weapon familiarity, instead adding to damage stats rather than have weapons break

Bring back SPEEDY GONZALES you cowards!!!!

To the balls sweat convo. I’ve always said “I’m sitting in balls soup.” Whenever it’s been hot and humid out. It’s so uncomfortable.
