The Con

... Did you get any rarer joysticks and say no more obscure ones? Yes, I did. So I only had, you know, the PlayStation 2 chainsaw controller. Yes. ...

... And so we went down there and hung out a little bit. And that was the first big convention of the year. And I'll tell you what, that may be the last big convention of the year for me. ...

... And then you have to download a separate app, assuming you don't have the parental control set up on that account to download the N64 mature app that gives you Turok and Perfect Dark, which I don't think Perfect Dark is mature. ...

... Yeah, it's just like, you know, you are the controller, it's like, no, no, no, no, no. Unless you design a game literally around someone being a controller, then that's fine. ...

... I'm so glad that one weapon in this game that like is quietly telling the audience this is a gun con game. The American audience which did not have the gun con option at the time though, maybe now through the magic of the internet and hacking. They do, but I got a game given infinite ammo. I played a 60 Hertz mod for the game. I'm not sure if it takes the PAL game and makes it 60. I'm not sure if it smashes up the American version to give a gun con support back. I'm not entirely sure that it might be is it like…

... Mega ran is really fricking good. Like that man has a voice to say nothing of just his talent in general. Uh, it's just a lot of that and someone who has gone to Oticon many times over. And actually, um, if you list, uh, I met Brian, uh, from game informer and we did an emergency little podcast and we talked about like the difference between magfest and other corporations, uh, just like the corporate, sorry, the corporate run conventions. And so magfest is totally fanned. Like, I think it's actually a charity or…

... And they were interesting. One of them was called media consumption, I think. And it was just like, 'cause this is meant to be like game developers talking to game developers. ...

... It's an interesting way of trying to mix in magic abilities into what is supposed to be, I guess, like a slightly in the future contemporary sci-fi kind of deal, like they have robots. It's a very Quantic Dream, David Cage kind of thing, have this ostensibly grounded setting where like supernatural stuff happens out of nowhere. ...
