WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.580 TechLink was the world's first link type Channel 00:00:03.419 --> 00:00:10.440 and now GameLinked what does that mean what game length is the world's second 00:00:07.940 --> 00:00:14.639 linked type Channel shout out to my boy hideo Kojima 00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:19.199 well whatever linked whatever TechLinked or GameLinked is now there's 00:00:16.859 --> 00:00:23.039 there's two of them basically yep yeah you guys might have noticed if you watch 00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:29.880 techlinked the channel this video is going up on that we launched GameLinked 00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:31.740 uh recently it's been a few weeks I 00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:35.579 don't even know yep I think we have eight episodes that's before well there 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:39.540 will be one more by the time this goes up on Monday but anyways uh and you 00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:44.520 might have noticed I mean we've didn't really address it on this channel that 00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:47.219 much we did a community post we did 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:50.820 there was an LTT video that's true so here we are if you guys were wondering 00:00:48.780 --> 00:00:55.860 what the heck is up with GameLinked what kind of content 00:00:53.879 --> 00:01:01.079 um you can expect I mean clearly you know we've done some videos already but 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:03.180 we have ideas plans 00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:06.960 and if you're wondering about the uh the background and how it came to be that's 00:01:05.460 --> 00:01:10.619 what this episode's gonna be so stick around and the reason we're here today 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:15.360 doing a talk land is because of you know we had LTX people work throughout the 00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:19.799 weekend we're taking today Monday off so we recorded this before LTX to publish 00:01:18.119 --> 00:01:23.700 instead of a regular TechLinked we recorded this in the past you're 00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:27.960 watching it in your present tell let us know let us know how it 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:30.960 feels is everything cool I'm here with Jacob 00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:36.119 Rush the guy who was hired to write game 00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:42.240 linked yeah in October last year in October of last year only to wait how 00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:44.100 long months but I mean many months like 00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:50.340 eight months or something eight months no really eight and a half oh June 30th 00:01:47.759 --> 00:01:54.600 I think June 29th is when we launched it okay so that will say eight that might 00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:58.020 also be wrong I don't I I just switched to Windows 11 and I don't know where 00:01:55.979 --> 00:02:01.820 that's that's fine the calendar is the point is it was months first of all how 00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:05.939 did that feel being hired for something that didn't 00:02:04.259 --> 00:02:11.819 exist okay now to be clear you were hired as the TechLinked and games right 00:02:09.539 --> 00:02:16.099 yeah yeah well but then you were hired and you were like no games yeah that was 00:02:14.099 --> 00:02:22.920 that was the weird thing is like spelled a-e-m-z no games no games so 00:02:20.180 --> 00:02:26.760 my first day you and James pulled me into a conference room you guys go hey 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:32.340 remember GameLinked it's not happening uh not yet 00:02:29.099 --> 00:02:33.840 so you're writing for Mac Address no I 00:02:32.340 --> 00:02:39.420 remember I remember James literally said he's like so I guess we're just gonna have to find some Disney work for you to 00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:42.780 do on Tuesdays and Thursdays okay 00:02:39.420 --> 00:02:46.019 sweeping the floors yeah picking up 00:02:42.780 --> 00:02:50.000 people's empty coffee mugs uh boosting 00:02:46.019 --> 00:02:50.000 Linus so he can grab the top shelf 00:02:51.239 --> 00:02:56.459 yeah um yeah I'm sorry about that we've 00:02:54.360 --> 00:03:00.959 talked about this yeah there are a bunch of reasons why it didn't launch right 00:02:58.860 --> 00:03:05.459 away number one is because you know we've already we're TechLink was already 00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:08.879 on a one day one video A Day schedule and we were doing it three times a week 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:13.260 yeah a channel launch where we do another episode on Tuesday and Thursday 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:19.980 would mean you know a video a day five days a week 00:03:16.019 --> 00:03:22.080 yeah and Edsel and Nicole who are are 00:03:19.980 --> 00:03:24.840 editing people uh they they leave the editing department they were like we 00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:28.680 just don't have the bandwidth for that you know LMG how many channels do we 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:33.720 have I don't even know seven seven functioning channels so they 00:03:31.980 --> 00:03:40.200 needed to hire another editor they did that I think in in the fall I 00:03:37.379 --> 00:03:43.980 think they hired one before Christmas and then I'm like all right we hired an 00:03:42.060 --> 00:03:50.340 editor can we uh when can we launch and they're like we need to hire another one 00:03:46.140 --> 00:03:52.080 editor two came on board same problem uh 00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:57.299 but at that point it was kind of like all right we need to get a new set we 00:03:54.659 --> 00:04:00.659 need to we can't film GameLinked on the tech link set do you remember what some 00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:05.280 of the ideas were for the game length set early on 00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:10.379 yeah I mean I designed a few of them like I was going for like a vaporwave 00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:16.500 outrun this is the whole thing that was the whole thing because we went through 00:04:12.659 --> 00:04:18.299 a whole set design process where well it 00:04:16.500 --> 00:04:22.740 wasn't like a set design process we knew that we knew that they wanted inspo from 00:04:20.579 --> 00:04:26.639 us we were making Pinterest boards we made a Pinterest board for inspiration 00:04:24.900 --> 00:04:30.240 yeah and then I realized okay this is kind of messy honestly I don't 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:34.080 understand how people use Pinterest it's like all over the place it's a lot it's 00:04:32.460 --> 00:04:38.520 nice if you want absolutely everything in like a big internally scrolling thing 00:04:36.060 --> 00:04:40.860 let's not go on a Pinterest engine I want this to be a Pinterest review 00:04:39.660 --> 00:04:45.560 episode does anyone use Pinterest I'd like used 00:04:44.520 --> 00:04:52.380 paint I spent like 20 to 30 minutes in paint 00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:55.740 yeah you do this like because we so the 00:04:52.380 --> 00:04:58.199 idea one of our ideas was to have uh 00:04:55.740 --> 00:05:01.620 The Talk The the TechLinked set and the game length set kind of be like 00:04:59.699 --> 00:05:05.460 reflections of each other or be like connected we were going to have a 00:05:03.180 --> 00:05:08.639 physical set and have one half of the set be tackling to one half of the set 00:05:07.080 --> 00:05:13.380 be game LinkedIn you could kind of like see a bit of the other set in the other 00:05:11.580 --> 00:05:17.160 in the in one of them you know what I mean um so you came up with this like split 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.940 logo thing yeah because I figured like vaporwave which is inspired by like 00:05:19.020 --> 00:05:23.639 early 90s would really fit in with techlinked because like you know you're 00:05:22.500 --> 00:05:27.840 thinking about computers in the early 90s and the big boom of of tech like 00:05:26.039 --> 00:05:31.919 that sort of fits and then outrun is supposed to be inspired but it's the 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:35.759 this retro futuristic 80s inspired thing and that's makes sense because it's you 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:41.100 know that's around the time of the big boom of like gaming like like gaming consoles yeah we were I mean we were 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:43.680 thinking about it yeah we went deep we went deep into our minds and into the 00:05:42.840 --> 00:05:48.720 internet then it was decided we're actually going 00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:54.800 to do a virtual set yeah it was revealed to us you know edzel had this idea to to 00:05:51.840 --> 00:05:59.639 have a virtual set within Unreal Engine so which is kind of cool because it's a 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:02.580 gaming channel yep but we'll I mean quote unquote gaming channel we'll get 00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:07.259 to that yep um so I mean you know all these details 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:10.860 are in the LTT uh video If you haven't guys haven't watched it uh it's a good 00:06:09.300 --> 00:06:16.740 one because they go over the whole technology about how we're doing live uh 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:18.240 green screen compositing where you know 00:06:16.740 --> 00:06:24.300 we don't take the green screen footage and we put it in the computer and then process it it's processed in real time 00:06:21.479 --> 00:06:28.860 as we film and then it's like sent right to the the editor in its current state 00:06:27.419 --> 00:06:33.960 with the background already baked on so that's pretty cool I mean it's basically you know basically laptops are doing 00:06:31.740 --> 00:06:37.979 this PCS are doing this with like you know streaming software 00:06:35.940 --> 00:06:41.100 um but it's like that but way higher Fidelity I mean 00:06:39.780 --> 00:06:44.520 if you guys have seen any of the videos you might be able to tell please watch 00:06:42.780 --> 00:06:48.300 our videos Around the Edges there's some please watch imperfection but anyways if 00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:54.479 you're interested in the technical details there's the LTT video for that but what we wanted to talk about on this 00:06:52.139 --> 00:07:00.000 video was kind of like the channel itself game-linked content and what 00:06:56.940 --> 00:07:02.940 we're thinking about uh uh in that 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:08.160 regard so one thing that we noticed when we launched the first video was people 00:07:05.280 --> 00:07:13.199 kind of being confused about the format or the content uh let us know in the 00:07:10.259 --> 00:07:17.819 comments if you were confused because some people thought that when Linus who 00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:22.919 talked about this channel way before he was supposed to talk about it on wancho 00:07:20.340 --> 00:07:27.599 when he mentioned it he kept calling it a gaming channel and so people were like 00:07:25.440 --> 00:07:32.220 oh are you gonna be playing games on the on the channel and maybe we will I don't 00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:36.780 know I I've that's not in the cards right now I mean even before that the 00:07:33.900 --> 00:07:41.819 first day I started uh one of the colleagues at Labs Tim he said he said 00:07:38.940 --> 00:07:44.880 I'm so excited for GameLinked and then I talked to him ER like more recently 00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:49.380 and he's like yeah I thought you guys were gonna be doing gaming reviews 00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:53.400 yeah and I guess I guess probably what happened is in the years since uh in the 00:07:51.599 --> 00:07:57.300 year since TechLink was first announced like not the the people that were there 00:07:55.440 --> 00:08:00.720 for it were the ones the game like no TechLinked people who were there for 00:07:59.039 --> 00:08:04.199 TechLinked they kind of they're more familiar with what techlinked is so 00:08:03.180 --> 00:08:10.380 they're the ones that are actually watching Tech link whereas the LTT audience at large there's a large 00:08:08.400 --> 00:08:14.400 proportion of that audience that isn't also a TechLinked audience so they 00:08:12.419 --> 00:08:17.160 probably just saw like oh there's a tackling Channel there's also a gaming 00:08:15.599 --> 00:08:21.180 channel maybe they're related in some way and then when they hear Linus saying 00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:24.060 oh it's a gaming channel 15 times they're like oh so they're gonna be 00:08:23.039 --> 00:08:29.699 doing like game reviews they're gonna be doing like all these other things like like all this gaming stuff finally LTT 00:08:27.599 --> 00:08:33.120 is breaking into gaming which is you know 00:08:30.780 --> 00:08:37.080 we are it's just when we started tackling here at LMG in 2018 a bunch of 00:08:36.180 --> 00:08:42.360 people wanted something like GameLinked LMG 00:08:39.539 --> 00:08:47.100 has kind of dipped its toes into gaming content at various times but it doesn't 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:53.880 seem like this is what one of the weirdest things about about you guys the 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:58.080 LTT slash LMG audience 00:08:53.880 --> 00:08:59.700 uh ostensibly supposedly the reason why 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:02.760 you're interested in all this like gaming PC Hardware is because you play 00:09:01.680 --> 00:09:09.360 games but for whatever reason every time we 00:09:04.920 --> 00:09:11.399 like made gaming content on LTT or you 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:14.640 know on on techlinked we made we had like gaming content as the we 00:09:12.839 --> 00:09:18.420 experimented with having gaming content as the thumbnail a few times and the 00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:24.600 videos didn't do very well and we're like it just seems like the LMG audience 00:09:21.660 --> 00:09:30.600 even though they're all Gamers they must be they don't want to see gaming content 00:09:27.060 --> 00:09:33.420 from us so I kind of you know people had 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:36.240 the idea in the company to to start game link they're like when are we gonna get 00:09:34.680 --> 00:09:39.240 gambling started you know and I was kind of like I don't know because it seems 00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:45.660 like every time we've done gaming stuff it hasn't really done very well and you 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:47.760 know LMG does let us pursue passions uh 00:09:45.660 --> 00:09:52.140 they you know Linus let me do two Tech loggers that took ridiculous amount of 00:09:49.680 --> 00:09:57.720 time but at the same time we have to be data driven yeah and it was kind of like 00:09:54.540 --> 00:09:59.700 it's a business but for whatever reason 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:03.180 Last Summer I I got the directive being like all 00:10:02.100 --> 00:10:09.959 right we're gonna do the GameLinked it's time oh really that was one yeah okay in the summer I remember James 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:13.440 sitting me down in one of my uh one of my check-ins and he's like 00:10:11.580 --> 00:10:18.600 so we're doing tackling and I'm like you mean game like game liked and I'm like 00:10:15.779 --> 00:10:23.279 okay uh we're doing tackling I haven't been doing that for years well and so 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:26.880 here's why when you're like I was hired as the game-linked guy I'm kind of like 00:10:25.260 --> 00:10:31.380 because the launch of GameLinked was also an excuse to hire you and to you 00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:37.800 know hopefully hire people to kind of flesh out the news team as we're calling 00:10:33.839 --> 00:10:40.140 ourselves so from the get-go the the 00:10:37.800 --> 00:10:43.920 there was a desire at LMG to launch a gaming channel yeah 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:49.380 and I think that no one really knew exactly what that would look like and we 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:52.500 are still kind of figuring that out so we can talk about some of our like 00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:57.899 content ideas none of these have been approved by the way uh at this point we 00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:01.380 don't even have approval to tell you guys about it so what you need to do 00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:07.019 after you hear this is just bombard every LTT video comment section yes yeah 00:11:04.860 --> 00:11:12.060 I mean what we're really trying to do is obviously what we've started with on 00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:13.740 GameLinked is gaming news and we want 00:11:12.060 --> 00:11:16.800 to keep doing that because we know that that's what we can do and we're pretty 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:24.060 good at it um so we're going to keep doing that on Tuesdays and Thursdays but you know long 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:26.279 term we definitely want to expand into 00:11:24.060 --> 00:11:29.820 other types of content ideas we're not doing gaming reviews right now maybe 00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:33.000 later but gaming reviews are also something 00:11:31.800 --> 00:11:38.040 you know it's it's tough you know we talked about this a little bit yeah we have to 00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:41.459 spend time playing the game like and like a lot of games now are open world 00:11:39.660 --> 00:11:44.880 games and they're just massive and then you have to decide what what do I need 00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:50.760 to play in order to get the cohesive experience 00:11:47.339 --> 00:11:53.360 of the game without hopefully doing the 00:11:50.760 --> 00:11:58.320 entire thing and 100 again yeah like Gerard the completionist you were you 00:11:55.980 --> 00:12:02.279 were assigned the idea to come up with some content ideas yes I was so why 00:12:01.019 --> 00:12:06.540 don't we why don't we talk about some of those because you know if you guys hear 00:12:04.980 --> 00:12:14.100 any of this and you're like well that's something I would tune in for yeah maybe we'll maybe we'll 00:12:10.860 --> 00:12:15.480 do it and maybe we'll do none of it and 00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:19.380 we'll have to see this video doesn't have quick bits but 00:12:17.459 --> 00:12:24.899 if it did they'd be brought to you by C Sonic and their focus GX 750 watt gold 00:12:22.680 --> 00:12:28.800 power supply it's a great choice

channels but it's something I am actually legitimately interested in and 00:12:53.760 --> 00:13:00.540 that's uh DND ttrpg actual play um uh I 00:12:58.620 --> 00:13:04.560 don't this is probably the least feasible of all of them because it 00:13:01.980 --> 00:13:08.639 requires like a three-hour commitment yeah 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:12.180 any like the YouTube landscape is so interesting you know this this goes back 00:13:10.620 --> 00:13:17.940 a little bit to the sort of like discreet audiences thing are our is our 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:22.019 audience one that would watch Let's Plays I don't even know if Let's Plays 00:13:20.700 --> 00:13:25.980 are really a big thing anymore it seems like streamers do it and there are these 00:13:24.540 --> 00:13:30.540 big channels that do big channels that do it I think it's harder maybe for newer let's players to break into the 00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:34.920 space but um a lot of people still like I I get 00:13:32.339 --> 00:13:38.100 recommended uh videos a lot that are like very few views but they're people 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:42.540 playing games um so it's still something that's very much happening in the YouTube landscape 00:13:40.560 --> 00:13:46.380 I mean we have people meeting here every once in a while to play games I would 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:50.519 love to DM you and maybe like James like a lot of 00:13:48.779 --> 00:13:54.480 the personalities I think there would be something really interesting in that you 00:13:52.079 --> 00:13:57.899 just want to suck me into your fantasy world I just like doing voices and 00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:03.200 creating worlds you just want to bring me into the world and then you would just like immediately kill you turn the 00:14:01.079 --> 00:14:09.060 turn the whole world against me everyone hates Riley Murdock give me the 00:14:06.540 --> 00:14:14.339 game wait a dice all right all right I try to cast a spell and rebounds and 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:17.820 kills my wife all right I think I think we're done I think we covered that all 00:14:16.500 --> 00:14:21.120 right so the other one the other one is uh something like my favorite game which 00:14:19.980 --> 00:14:26.820 is just like getting different people from the company to uh talk about their 00:14:24.420 --> 00:14:31.800 favorite game and maybe get uh the host or the cop like a colleague like maybe 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:36.060 one of us to like play one of their most memorable moments from that game that's 00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:40.079 pretty cool yeah I think there's um like my favorite game is Fallout New 00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:44.100 Vegas and I think my favorite I'm gonna double check on this but I'm pretty sure 00:14:41.579 --> 00:14:46.860 it's Vault 11. there might be one Quest that makes you go to it but you don't 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:50.940 even have to go to it you can go to any of the other vaults it's not a required 00:14:49.079 --> 00:14:54.480 location to go to but if you go there the story 00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:58.560 that you experience is fantastic I'll destroy you and make you cry I mean that 00:14:56.880 --> 00:15:01.500 actually sounds I like that you would like it because it's it's quite 00:15:00.060 --> 00:15:06.120 philosophical the other one is the unwritten rules of game design I kind of 00:15:03.779 --> 00:15:10.320 find it interesting uh you know because me someone who's like really into the 00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:12.779 gaming space and and is so familiar because I've been gaming since I was a 00:15:11.579 --> 00:15:18.120 small child there's a lot of little Unwritten rules that 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:21.720 like my gamer brain doesn't even contemplate anymore they're just kind of 00:15:19.920 --> 00:15:26.639 there but there's a lot of things that game designers use to communicate 00:15:23.699 --> 00:15:30.720 certain things that we take for granted because we automatically know what they 00:15:27.779 --> 00:15:35.220 are but someone who's maybe more new to right gaming would be confused by them 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:39.360 there's actually a really great uh video a Rasputin it's called what games are 00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:44.160 like for someone who doesn't play games oh save that video yo I think I started 00:15:42.540 --> 00:15:47.940 watching it it's very interesting to watch um I so I kind of was inspired by that 00:15:46.680 --> 00:15:52.860 and I thought it would kind of be cool to like maybe talk about things that you 00:15:50.940 --> 00:15:58.440 know from games but you didn't actually know so kind of like a series talking 00:15:55.260 --> 00:16:00.839 about elements of games that uh you know 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:04.740 non-gamers might not be super familiar with yeah so the next one uh uh is sort 00:16:03.420 --> 00:16:07.920 of inspired by something I wanted to do streaming actually but it's called 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:14.820 humble beginnings where basically we discuss and demonstrate the earlier games in a what is now an iconic 00:16:11.699 --> 00:16:16.399 franchise so games that uh generally 00:16:14.820 --> 00:16:21.000 inspired or or spiritual successors that became iconic 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:26.220 France prizes so like Fallout one and two uh I mean it's weird to say they 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:30.060 inspired Fallout 3 but like they're very different games in terms of gameplay and 00:16:27.959 --> 00:16:33.920 stuff uh Baldur's Gate one and two both inspired Dragon Age because BioWare 00:16:31.920 --> 00:16:40.620 worked on those games System Shock inspired Bioshock uh Eco inspired Shadow 00:16:37.620 --> 00:16:42.480 of the Colossus Devil May Cry and piano3 00:16:40.620 --> 00:16:46.860 it's both inspired Bayonetta so there's a lot of different games that actually 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:51.240 have some sort of inspiration either something that the Creator had worked on 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:53.100 earlier that uh spurred them to create 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:55.620 this new thing that became a phenomenon and I think that's kind of a cool place 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:59.880 to explore is to go back to those original games see what's similar see 00:16:57.779 --> 00:17:03.540 why maybe they didn't get the recognition that they deserved if they 00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:07.319 didn't or or why they did get the recognition they deserved in their time 00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:12.360 I can see this kind of being a part of maybe a broader series doing sort of 00:17:10.380 --> 00:17:16.520 like an investigation I mean like one one game longers well 00:17:15.120 --> 00:17:21.000 so game longer than Tech longers take a 00:17:18.780 --> 00:17:25.380 long time to make that's true however I feel like there might be space for like 00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:29.880 a Techquickie style gaming thing where you know we aren't doing like the 00:17:27.780 --> 00:17:33.059 deepest dive ever and going and interviewing people and like taking 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:37.440 months to do like investigative reporting like we just kind of you know 00:17:35.580 --> 00:17:42.419 we write like a tech Wiki where John makes three in a week we'll call it game 00:17:39.539 --> 00:17:46.440 lengthy game lengthy yeah you know it's not longer but it's a little lengthy 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:50.460 game girthy oh the other the other thing is is uh you didn't even hear that game 00:17:48.660 --> 00:17:54.600 girth you know I heard it okay thank you it was beautiful thank you rally you're 00:17:52.620 --> 00:17:58.020 beautiful stop okay next one the other one is uh game First Impressions so I 00:17:56.700 --> 00:18:02.039 think it'd be cool to like either take someone who's gamed a lot in in one 00:18:00.660 --> 00:18:09.299 specific genre like they have like one genre that they're very familiar with or just people who haven't gamed a lot at 00:18:05.520 --> 00:18:11.340 all and get them to spend like five to 00:18:09.299 --> 00:18:14.820 ten hours in a game and then have like a little talk with them like a talking 00:18:12.419 --> 00:18:19.280 style yeah this is kind of the thing that maybe could 00:18:16.500 --> 00:18:23.340 fill in this like reviews uh pocket that people are you know 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:28.500 people thought we were going to do game reviews we're probably not going to do 00:18:25.260 --> 00:18:29.940 full game reviews where it's like here's 00:18:28.500 --> 00:18:35.640 our definitive take on the subject but what we might do is you know this kind 00:18:32.520 --> 00:18:36.780 of like Diablo 4 launches a bunch of 00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:41.220 people in the office are gonna be playing it uh a lot at home so then once 00:18:40.080 --> 00:18:46.320 they've put in a certain amount of hours we can all kind of like get together and like have like talk about it maybe talk 00:18:44.520 --> 00:18:48.840 about our experience I I think there's kind of two prongs to go about it so 00:18:47.820 --> 00:18:53.760 there's one where you're talking to people who actually know a lot about the about that game and then I think would 00:18:52.260 --> 00:18:57.360 be cool to also have someone who's like never played the game before and like 00:18:55.679 --> 00:19:00.600 there's a place completely different genre of games or doesn't play games 00:18:58.860 --> 00:19:03.539 yeah that could work really well and have them kind of talk because you can 00:19:02.100 --> 00:19:08.820 have one person really nerd off and one piece person be very confused and be totally looking for answers after their 00:19:06.539 --> 00:19:13.140 five to ten hours of whatever confusion confusion can be very entertaining yes 00:19:10.980 --> 00:19:17.100 here's the last one that I finally kind of came up with it's kind of I've kind 00:19:14.520 --> 00:19:21.960 of got two names for it uh flawed reviews slash review reboot 00:19:19.679 --> 00:19:25.860 so flawed reviews is I'm trying to think of a way that we can sort of do reviews 00:19:24.059 --> 00:19:31.200 but it still sort of fits into the comedic flavor of of linked channels 00:19:29.100 --> 00:19:35.820 while also fitting within a time frame what it's time to Troy Baker okay we'll 00:19:34.320 --> 00:19:39.360 get to that so like I was thinking either like one hour two hour reviews 00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:42.539 where we literally just review the first one to two hours of the game which would 00:19:40.860 --> 00:19:46.740 be really funny for games that have like really in-depth uh character creation we 00:19:45.179 --> 00:19:50.400 could have uh so this is what he was talking about previously the old man 00:19:48.600 --> 00:19:54.780 Murray throwback they had they had a they had a really strong critique of 00:19:52.380 --> 00:19:58.320 game design in like the late 90s where everyone just had crates so they 00:19:56.580 --> 00:20:05.940 developed this this start to create Magic old man Murray so there were 00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:08.100 online uh website okay uh and they don't 00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:10.380 know yeah and so uh they would basically count the number of seconds it would 00:20:09.360 --> 00:20:15.600 take for you to run into your first crate or Barrel and that was that was your that was your 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:21.600 start to create score but I thought maybe we could update that for like modern game tropes like uh time to 00:20:19.140 --> 00:20:26.820 tutorial screen that pauses the game so time to Troy Baker is because Troy Baker 00:20:23.700 --> 00:20:28.140 is in almost every game the man is the 00:20:26.820 --> 00:20:32.640 man does work so we're gonna have to like look up who if if Troy Baker plays 00:20:30.900 --> 00:20:36.179 a character in the in the game and then see how fast we encounter that character 00:20:34.020 --> 00:20:40.559 yeah basically I mean think think think of the freaking 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:44.820 like series and he's he's probably voice a character and it's it's almost 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:49.140 certainly yeah uh time to actual effing game yes which is uh you know games that 00:20:47.100 --> 00:20:51.720 start with a barrage of cut scenes games where you're supposed to be this cool 00:20:50.280 --> 00:20:54.840 character in a mystical world with magic but for the some reason the first 45 00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:59.580 minutes of gameplay are you walking through an apartment building trying to find a cat for some reason that's the 00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:03.120 worst anyway uh can you make a monster which is basically we judge the 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:05.700 character creation based on how far how much we can offend god with our 00:21:04.679 --> 00:21:10.559 creations now that that is like a let's play 00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:14.640 concept that I think could work where where there you know we're basically 00:21:12.660 --> 00:21:19.260 doing like Mario Party mini games where we're we're in one part of a game and 00:21:17.100 --> 00:21:24.240 we're trying to see who can do a certain thing first and then uh my my last idea 00:21:22.620 --> 00:21:30.539 was does it have couch Co-op and if not zero out of ten uh so the whole idea of 00:21:27.660 --> 00:21:33.240 like what uh review reboot because I was kind of thinking I didn't bring this up 00:21:31.679 --> 00:21:38.400 to you but so I had the flawed reviews idea but then I thought of like what if 00:21:34.919 --> 00:21:40.200 we just for fun decided that every 00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:43.919 different review we would be reviewing that game on a completely different 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:48.419 metric that was somewhat arbitrary reviewing it on like view distance yeah 00:21:46.620 --> 00:21:52.740 like just like just like everyone had like like a very specific verticality 00:21:50.760 --> 00:21:56.460 yeah like some sort of very specific metric that only applies to like that 00:21:54.419 --> 00:21:59.760 game tears of the Kingdom would win on that one yeah so so like that would be 00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:05.700 like one like it would be like you can fall for like 10 minutes or something okay so I mean if any of those if any of 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:11.280 those Concepts uh tickled something in inside of you in a totally platonic 00:22:08.460 --> 00:22:14.100 Wireless way uh let us know and leave a comment 00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:19.559 um you know we're excited to have game link launched and we're excited to do 00:22:17.700 --> 00:22:25.440 some more stuff with it other than just news maybe uh again this is all very 00:22:22.740 --> 00:22:30.659 speculative but we basically want to know what you guys want to see uh so we 00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:34.500 can hopefully make some content on this gaming channel not just gaming news but 00:22:33.360 --> 00:22:39.659 for now 100 what we're doing is gaming news yeah 00:22:36.659 --> 00:22:42.299 and then in the future you just let us 00:22:39.659 --> 00:22:47.400 know how you want these monkeys to dance I 00:22:43.679 --> 00:22:49.740 I take offense uh to that 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:53.880 I don't dance and I'm not a monkey ape 00:22:51.419 --> 00:22:57.480 um sorry we're good these Apes can Boogie all right so that's all the time 00:22:56.159 --> 00:23:00.780 we have for today thanks for watching

a regular tackling episode but uh subscribe uh let 00:23:07.740 --> 00:23:16.220 us know if you want to see more of this let us know what you want to see on gamelink and uh we'll see you soon and
