1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,920 Techlinked was the world's first link type channel and now GameLinked. What does that mean? What GameLinked is the world's second? 2 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,360 Link type channel shout out to my boy Hideo Kojima 3 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,480 Well, whatever linked whatever Techlinked or GameLinked is now there's there's two of them basically 4 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:25,760 Yep, yeah, you guys might have noticed if you watch Techlinked the channel this video is going up on that we launched GameLinked 5 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:32,240 Recently, it's been Buh a few weeks. I don't even know. Yep. I think we have eight episodes 6 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,520 Eight episodes for four weeks. Well, there will be one more by the time this goes up on Monday, but anyways 7 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,560 And you might have noticed I mean we didn't really address it on this channel that much 8 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,720 We did a community post we did there was an LTT video. That's true 9 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:52,760 So here we are if you guys were wondering what the heck is up with GameLinked what kind of content? 10 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,200 You can expect I mean clearly, you know, we've done some videos already 11 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,920 But we have ideas plans and 12 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,520 If you're wondering about the the background and how it came to be 13 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:10,520 That's what this episode is gonna be so stick around and the reason we're here today doing a talkland is because of you know 14 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,720 We had LTX people work throughout the weekend. We're taking today Monday off 15 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:22,520 So we recorded this before LTX to publish instead of a regular Techlinked. We recorded this in the past. You're watching it in your present 16 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,720 Tell let us know. Let us know how it feels 17 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,960 Is everything cool? I'm here with Jacob Rush 18 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:37,880 The guy who was hired to write GameLinked in October last year October of last year only to wait 19 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:45,960 How long months but I mean many months like eight months or something eight months. No, really eight and a half 20 00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:52,920 Oh, June 30th. I think June 29th is when we launched it. Okay, so that's probably I might also be wrong 21 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,880 I don't I just switched to Windows 11. I don't know where that's that's fine 22 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,920 The calendar is the point is it was months. First of all, how did that feel? 23 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:07,840 Being hired for something that wouldn't exist now to be clear you were hired as the Techlinked and 24 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,040 Yeah, yeah, well, but then you were hired and you're like no games 25 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:18,560 Yeah, that was that was the weird thing is like spelled AEM Zed. No games. No games 26 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:25,760 So My first day you and James pulled me into a conference room. You guys go. Hey, remember GameLinked 27 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,920 It's not happening. Not yet So writing for Mac Address 28 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:37,280 No, I remember I remember James literally said he's like so I guess we're gonna have to find some busy work for you to do on Tuesdays and Thursdays 29 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:44,280 Okay sweeping the floors Yeah, picking up people's empty coffee mugs 30 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,780 Boosting Linus so you can grab the top shelf 31 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:57,120 Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry about that. We've talked about this. Yeah, there are a bunch of reasons why 32 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,920 Didn't launch right away number one is because you know 33 00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:06,800 We've already we're Techlinked was already on a one day one video a day schedule and we were doing it three times a week 34 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:12,160 Yeah, a channel launch where we do another episode on Tuesday and Thursday would mean 35 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:20,760 You know a video a day five days a week. Yeah, and Edzel and Nicole who are our editing people 36 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,920 They they lead the editing department. They were like, we just don't have the bandwidth for that, you know, LMG 37 00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:33,040 How many channels do we have? I don't even know Seven seven functioning channels. So they needed to hire another editor 38 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,560 They did that. I think in in the fall. I think they hired one before Christmas 39 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:45,080 And then I'm like, all right, we hired an editor. Can we when can we launch in there? Like we need to hire another one 40 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,240 Editor to came on board same problem 41 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,200 But at that point it was kind of like, all right, we need to get a new set 42 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,760 We need to we can't film GameLinked on the Techlinked set. Do you remember what some of the ideas were? 43 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:07,320 For the GameLinked set early on Yeah, I mean I designed a few of them like I was going for like a vaporwave 44 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:14,600 Outrun this whole thing. That was a whole thing because we went through a whole set design process where 45 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,600 Well, it wasn't like a set design process. We knew that we knew that they wanted inspo from us 46 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:26,200 We were making Pinterest boards. We made a Pinterest board for inspiration. Yeah, and then I realized okay 47 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,000 This is kind of messy. Honestly, I don't understand how people use Pinterest. It's like all over the place 48 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,960 It's a lot. It's nice if you want absolutely everything in like a big internally scrolling thing 49 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,040 Let's not go on a Pinterest engine. I want this to be a Pinterest review episode 50 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,080 Does anyone use Pinterest? I'd like used paint. I 51 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:53,840 Spent like 20 to 30 minutes in paint. Yeah, you do this like because we so the idea one of our ideas was to have 52 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,440 The talk the the Techlinked set and the GameLinked set kind of be like 53 00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:05,720 Reflections of each other or be like connected. We were gonna have a physical set and have one half of the set be 54 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:11,960 Techlinked and one half of the set be GameLinked and you could kind of like see a bit of the other set in the other in the 55 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,280 In one of them, you know what I mean? So you came up with this like split logo thing 56 00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:21,920 Yeah, because I figured like vaporwave which is inspired by like early 90s would really fit in with Techlinked because like 57 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:27,960 You know you think about computers in the early 90s and the big boom of of tech like that sort of fits and then outrun is supposed 58 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:33,720 To be inspired but the retro futuristic 80s inspired thing and that's makes sense because it's 59 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,520 You know, that's around the time of the big boom of like gaming like like game consoles 60 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,080 Yeah, we were I mean we were thinking about it. Yeah, we went deep. We went deep into our minds and into the internet 61 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:49,080 Then it was decided we're actually gonna do a virtual set. Yeah, it was revealed to us 62 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:54,840 You know Edzel had this idea to to have a virtual set within Unreal Engine 63 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:01,280 So which is kind of cool because it's a gaming channel. Yep, but we'll I mean quote-unquote gaming channel. We'll get to that 64 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,200 So, I mean, you know all these details are in the LTT 65 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:12,480 Video if you have guys haven't watched it. It's a good one because they go over the whole technology about how we're doing live 66 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:20,120 Green screen compositing where you know, we don't take the green screen footage and we put it in the computer and then process it 67 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,600 It's processed in real time as we film and then it's like sent right to the the editor 68 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,160 In its current state with the background already baked on so that's pretty cool 69 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,880 I mean, it's basically you know, basically laptops are doing this PCs are doing this with like, you know streaming software 70 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,760 But it's like that but way higher fidelity. I mean 71 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,000 If you guys have seen any of the videos you might be able to tell please watch our videos around the edges 72 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,840 There's some in least watch in perfection But anyways, if you're interested in the technical details, there's the LTT video for that 73 00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:57,480 But what we wanted to talk about on this video was kind of like the channel itself game-linked content and what we're thinking about 74 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:06,400 In that regard so one thing that we noticed when we launched the first video was people kind of being confused about 75 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000 the format or the content let us know in the comments if you were 76 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:18,880 Confused because some people thought that when Linus who talked about this channel way before he was supposed to talk about it on 77 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,600 Wancho When he mentioned it, he's he kept calling it a gaming channel 78 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:30,080 And so people were like, oh, are you gonna be playing games on the on the channel and maybe we will I don't know 79 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,800 I that's not in the cards right now. I mean even before that the first day I started 80 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,480 One of the colleagues at Labs Tim. He said he said I'm so excited for game-linked 81 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:46,040 And then I talked to him like more recently and he's like, yeah, I thought you guys are gonna be doing gaming reviews 82 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,480 Yeah, and I guess I guess probably what happened is in the year since 83 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,040 In the year since TechLinked was first announced like not the people that were there for it were the ones 84 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,360 I mean game like no TechLinked people were there for TechLinked 85 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,920 They kind of knew they're more familiar with what TechLinked is 86 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,960 So they're the ones that are actually watching TechLinked whereas the LTT 87 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,720 Audience at large. There's a large proportion of the audience that isn't also a TechLinked audience 88 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,800 So they probably just saw like oh, there's a TechLinked channel. There's also a gaming channel 89 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:21,080 Maybe they're related in some way and then when they hear Linus saying oh, it's a gaming channel 15 times 90 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,520 They're like oh, so they're gonna be doing like gaming reviews gonna be doing like all these other things like gaming stuff 91 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,680 Finally LTT is breaking into gaming which is you know 92 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:36,160 We are it's just when we started TechLinked here at LNG in 2018 a bunch of people 93 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,940 Wanted something like game-linked LMG has kind of 94 00:08:40,420 --> 00:08:48,300 Dipped its toes into gaming content at various times, but it doesn't seem like this is what one of the weirdest things about about 95 00:08:48,780 --> 00:08:52,440 You guys the LTT slash LMG audience 96 00:08:54,940 --> 00:09:01,860 Ostensibly Supposedly the reason why you're interested in all this like gaming PC hardware is because you play games 97 00:09:02,540 --> 00:09:07,060 But for whatever reason every time we like made gaming content on 98 00:09:07,820 --> 00:09:15,380 LTT or you know if on on TechLinked we made we had like gaming content as the we experimented with having gaming content as the thumbnail a 99 00:09:15,380 --> 00:09:21,580 Few times and the videos didn't do very well and we're like it just seems like the LMG audience 100 00:09:21,980 --> 00:09:27,520 Even though they're all Gamers they must be mm-hmm. They don't want to see gaming content from us 101 00:09:27,820 --> 00:09:33,580 So I kind of you know people had the idea in the company to to start gaming 102 00:09:33,580 --> 00:09:38,380 They're like when are we gonna get game-linked started? You know and I was kind of like I don't know because it seems like every time 103 00:09:38,380 --> 00:09:40,780 We've done gaming stuff. It hasn't really done very well and 104 00:09:41,660 --> 00:09:44,780 You know LMG does let us pursue passions 105 00:09:45,140 --> 00:09:49,620 They you know Linus let me do two tech loggers that took ridiculous amount of time 106 00:09:50,140 --> 00:09:55,380 But at the same time we have to be data-driven. Yeah, and it was kind of like it's a business 107 00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:58,740 But for whatever reason last summer 108 00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:04,340 I got the directive being like all right, we're gonna do the GameLinked. It's time. Oh really that was one 109 00:10:04,340 --> 00:10:10,820 Yeah, okay in the summer. I remember James sitting me down in one of my one of my check-ins and he's like 110 00:10:11,340 --> 00:10:16,220 So we're doing TechLinked and I'm like you mean game like game like and I'm like, okay 111 00:10:17,020 --> 00:10:24,020 We're doing TechLinked. I haven't been doing that for years Well, and so here's why when you're like I was hired as the GameLinked guy 112 00:10:24,020 --> 00:10:28,140 I'm kind of like because the launch of GameLinked was also an excuse to hire you and 113 00:10:28,980 --> 00:10:33,820 You know hopefully hire people to kind of flesh out the news team as we're calling ourselves 114 00:10:34,340 --> 00:10:36,860 so from the get-go the the 115 00:10:37,660 --> 00:10:40,660 There was a desire at LMG to launch a gaming channel 116 00:10:41,260 --> 00:10:46,500 And I think that no one really knew exactly what that would look like and we 117 00:10:47,140 --> 00:10:51,420 Are still kind of figuring that that out so we can talk about some of our like content ideas 118 00:10:51,420 --> 00:10:53,420 None of these have been approved by the way 119 00:10:54,780 --> 00:10:58,420 At this point, we don't even have approval to tell you guys about it 120 00:10:58,420 --> 00:11:04,100 So what you need to do after you hear this is just bombard every LTT video comment section with this 121 00:11:04,340 --> 00:11:10,500 Yeah, I mean what we're really trying to do is obviously what we've started with on GameLinked is gaming news and 122 00:11:11,380 --> 00:11:15,700 We want to keep doing that because we know that that's what we can do and we're pretty good at it 123 00:11:16,740 --> 00:11:20,380 So we're gonna keep doing that on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but you know long term 124 00:11:20,580 --> 00:11:28,900 We definitely want to Expand into other types of content ideas. We're not doing gaming reviews right now. Maybe later 125 00:11:29,620 --> 00:11:33,660 But gaming reviews are also something, you know, it's it's tough. You know, we talked about this a little bit 126 00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:39,860 Yeah, we have to spend time playing the game like and like a lot of games now are open-world games 127 00:11:39,860 --> 00:11:43,940 And they're just massive and then you have to decide what what do I need to play? 128 00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:48,820 in order to get the cohesive experience of the game without 129 00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:52,980 Hopefully doing the entire thing and 100% again. Yeah, like I'll 130 00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:59,220 Gerard the completionist you were you were assigned the idea to come up with some content ideas 131 00:11:59,220 --> 00:12:03,860 Yes, I was so why don't we why don't we talk about some of those because you know if you guys 132 00:12:04,380 --> 00:12:06,980 Hear any of this and you're like, but that's something I would 133 00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:13,020 Tune in for yeah, maybe we'll maybe we'll do it and maybe we'll do none of it 134 00:12:13,620 --> 00:12:19,100 We'll have to see The first one I started with it's kind of a staple of like gaming channels 135 00:12:19,100 --> 00:12:22,060 But it's something I am actually legitimately interested in and that's 136 00:12:22,740 --> 00:12:26,660 D&D slash TTRPG actual play. Mm-hmm. I don't 137 00:12:27,260 --> 00:12:32,060 This is probably the least feasible of all of them because it requires like a three-hour commitment 138 00:12:32,620 --> 00:12:37,300 Yeah, and it's kind of funny like the YouTube landscape is so interesting 139 00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:41,820 You know this this goes back a little bit to the sort of like discrete audiences thing 140 00:12:41,820 --> 00:12:45,140 Hmm or our is our audience one that would watch 141 00:12:45,780 --> 00:12:51,220 Let's plays. I don't even know if let's plays are really a big thing anymore. It seems like streamers do it 142 00:12:51,220 --> 00:12:55,060 And there are these big channels that do channels that do I think it's harder 143 00:12:55,060 --> 00:13:01,020 Maybe for newer let's players to break into the space, but a lot of people still like I get recommended 144 00:13:01,340 --> 00:13:05,340 Videos a lot that are like very few views, but they're people playing games 145 00:13:06,020 --> 00:13:13,580 So it's still something that's very much happening in the YouTube landscape I mean we have people meeting here every once in a while to play games. I would love to DM 146 00:13:14,620 --> 00:13:17,900 You and maybe like James like a lot of the personalities 147 00:13:17,900 --> 00:13:21,620 I think there would be something that really interesting in that you just want to suck me into your 148 00:13:22,060 --> 00:13:25,420 Fantasy world. I just like doing voices and creating worlds 149 00:13:25,420 --> 00:13:30,500 You just want to bring me into the world and then you would just like immediately kill you turn the turn the whole world against me 150 00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:38,380 Everyone hates Riley Murdock. Give me weight. Wait a dice. All right. I try to cast a spell and 151 00:13:38,860 --> 00:13:41,820 Rebounds I think kills my wife. All right. I think 152 00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:50,300 I think we covered that all right So the other one the other one is something like my favorite game, which is just like getting different people from the company to 153 00:13:51,260 --> 00:13:56,860 Talk about their favorite game and maybe get the host or the cop like a colleague 154 00:13:56,860 --> 00:14:03,500 Like maybe one of us to like play one of their most memorable moments from that game. That's pretty cool. Yeah, I think there's 155 00:14:04,220 --> 00:14:07,260 Like my favorite game is fallout, New Vegas, and I think my favorites 156 00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:10,900 I'm a double check on this, but I'm pretty sure it's vault 11 157 00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:14,460 There might be one quest that makes you go to it, but you don't even have to go to it 158 00:14:14,460 --> 00:14:19,820 You can go to any of the other vaults. It's not a required location to go to but if you go there the story 159 00:14:20,700 --> 00:14:26,220 That you experience is fantastic. I'll destroy you and make you cry. I mean that actually sounds I like that 160 00:14:26,220 --> 00:14:30,980 You would like it because it's it's it's quite philosophical. The other one is the unwritten rules of game design 161 00:14:30,980 --> 00:14:39,580 I kind of find it interesting You know because me someone who's like really into the gaming space and and is so familiar because I've been gaming since I was a 162 00:14:39,580 --> 00:14:42,620 small child, there's a lot of little unwritten rules that 163 00:14:43,340 --> 00:14:45,700 like my gamer brain doesn't even 164 00:14:46,620 --> 00:14:52,660 Contemplate anymore. They're just kind of there But there's a lot of things that game designers use to communicate certain things that 165 00:14:53,620 --> 00:14:57,220 We take for granted because we automatically know what they are, but someone who's maybe more 166 00:14:57,940 --> 00:15:03,420 New to right gaming would be confused by them. There's actually a really great video 167 00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:09,500 Rasputin it's called what games are like for someone who doesn't play games. Oh, I saved that video 168 00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:18,660 I think I started watching it. It's very interesting to watch I so I kind of was inspired by that and I thought it would kind of be cool to like maybe talk about things that you 169 00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:23,700 Know from games, but you didn't actually know so kind of like a series talking about 170 00:15:24,340 --> 00:15:30,100 elements of games that You know non-gamers might not be super familiar with yeah, so the next one 171 00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:35,460 Sort of inspired by something I wanted to do streaming actually, but it's called humble beginnings 172 00:15:35,460 --> 00:15:41,660 We're basically we discuss and demonstrate the earlier games in a what is now an iconic franchise. So games that 173 00:15:42,580 --> 00:15:49,260 generally inspired or or Spiritual successors that became iconic friends present. So like fallout one and two 174 00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:55,940 I mean, it's weird to say they inspired fallout three, but like they're very different games in terms of gameplay 175 00:15:55,940 --> 00:16:01,940 And stuff Baldur's Gate one and two both inspired Dragon Age because by where I worked on those games system shock 176 00:16:02,540 --> 00:16:10,260 inspired bio shock Eco inspired Shadow of the Colossus Delta may cry and PN03 and both inspired Bayonetta 177 00:16:10,260 --> 00:16:12,500 So there's there's a lot of different games that actually 178 00:16:13,260 --> 00:16:17,340 have some sort of inspiration either something that the creator had worked on earlier that 179 00:16:18,540 --> 00:16:26,460 Spurred them to create this new thing that became a phenomenon I think that's kind of a cool place to explore is to go back to those original games see what's similar see why maybe 180 00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:32,260 They didn't get the recognition that they deserved if they didn't or or why they did get the recognition 181 00:16:32,260 --> 00:16:35,940 They deserved in their time. I can see this kind of being a part of maybe a 182 00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:42,460 broader series doing sort of like an investigation. I mean like one one game longers well 183 00:16:43,180 --> 00:16:47,980 so Game longers and tech longers take a long time to make that's true 184 00:16:47,980 --> 00:16:54,260 However, I feel like there might be space for like a Techquickie style gaming thing where you know 185 00:16:54,260 --> 00:17:01,380 We aren't doing like the deepest dive ever and going and interviewing people and like taking months to do like investigative 186 00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:06,700 Recording like we just kind of you know, we write like a Techquickie where John makes three in a week 187 00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:13,020 We'll call it game lengthy game lengthy. Yeah, you know, it's not a longer, but this is like the game girthy 188 00:17:13,020 --> 00:17:17,780 Oh, the other the other thing is is you didn't even hear that game girthy. No, I heard it 189 00:17:17,980 --> 00:17:24,660 Okay, thank you. It was beautiful. Thank you rally. You're beautiful. Stop. Okay. Next one. The other one is game first impressions 190 00:17:24,660 --> 00:17:33,160 So I think it'd be cool to like either take someone who's Gamed a lot in in one specific genre like they have like one genre that they're very familiar with or just people who haven't game 191 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:41,020 the lot at all and Get them to spend like five to ten hours in a game and then have like a little talk with them like a talking style 192 00:17:41,020 --> 00:17:44,020 Yeah, so this is kind of the thing that maybe could 193 00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:48,740 fill in this like reviews the 194 00:17:48,740 --> 00:17:54,500 Pocket that people are you know people thought we were gonna do game reviews. We're probably not gonna do full game reviews 195 00:17:54,980 --> 00:17:58,020 Where it's like here's our definitive take on the subject 196 00:17:58,020 --> 00:18:05,420 But what we might do is you know, this kind of like Diablo 4 launches a bunch of people the office are gonna be playing it 197 00:18:05,940 --> 00:18:09,580 A lot at home. So then once they've put in a certain amount of hours 198 00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:13,380 We can all kind of like get together and like have like talk about it. Maybe you talk about our experience 199 00:18:13,380 --> 00:18:18,660 I think there's kind of two prongs to go about so it's one where you're talking to people who actually know a lot about the 200 00:18:18,860 --> 00:18:22,940 About that game and then I think it would be cool to also have someone who's like never played the game before 201 00:18:23,140 --> 00:18:27,020 And like either place completely different genre of games or doesn't play games 202 00:18:27,020 --> 00:18:32,220 Yeah, that could work really well and have them kind of talk because you can have one person really nerd off a one-piece person 203 00:18:32,220 --> 00:18:38,820 Be very confused and be totally looking for answers after their five to ten hours of whatever the confusion confusion can be very entertaining 204 00:18:38,820 --> 00:18:43,340 Yes, here's the last one that I finally kind of came up with it's kind of I've kind of got two names 205 00:18:43,380 --> 00:18:47,100 For it flawed reviews slash review reboot 206 00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:52,380 So flawed reviews is I'm trying to think of a way that we can sort of do reviews 207 00:18:52,380 --> 00:18:59,340 But it still sort of fits into the comedic flavor of of link channels while also fitting within a time frame 208 00:18:59,340 --> 00:19:05,740 What is time to Troy Baker? Okay, we'll get to that so like I was thinking either like one hour two hour reviews 209 00:19:05,740 --> 00:19:08,780 We're we literally just review the first one to two hours of the game 210 00:19:08,780 --> 00:19:12,820 Which would be really funny for games that have like really in-depth character creation 211 00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:17,540 We could have so this is what he was talking about previously the old man Murray throwback 212 00:19:17,540 --> 00:19:23,900 They had they had a they had a really strong critique of game design in like the late 90s where everyone just had crates 213 00:19:24,020 --> 00:19:30,100 So they developed this this start to create magic a old man Murray. So they were there were an online 214 00:19:30,780 --> 00:19:37,300 website, okay And so yeah, and so they would basically count the number of seconds 215 00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:43,140 It would take for you to run into your first quite crater barrel And that was that was your that was your start to create score 216 00:19:43,140 --> 00:19:49,340 But I thought maybe we could update that for like modern game tropes like time to tutorial stream that pauses the game 217 00:19:49,340 --> 00:19:53,020 So time to Troy Baker is because Troy Baker is in almost every game 218 00:19:53,660 --> 00:20:02,340 The man is the man does work So we're gonna have to like look up who if if Troy Baker plays a character in the in the game and see how fast we encounter that character 219 00:20:02,340 --> 00:20:10,700 Yeah, basically I Mean think of think of a frickin like series and he's he's probably voice of character and it's almost certainly yeah 220 00:20:11,140 --> 00:20:14,980 Time to actual effing game. Yes, which is you know games 221 00:20:14,980 --> 00:20:20,100 Let's start with a barrage of cutscenes games where you're supposed to be this cool character in a mystical world with magic 222 00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:25,060 But for the some reason the first 45 minutes of gameplay are you walking through an apartment building trying to find out for some reason? 223 00:20:25,060 --> 00:20:33,260 That's the worst anyway Can you make a monster which is basically we judge the character creation based on how how much we can offend God with our creations? 224 00:20:33,740 --> 00:20:38,460 Now that that is like a let's play concept that I think could work where 225 00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:44,980 We're we're there, you know, we're basically doing like Mario Party minigames where we're we're in one part of a game 226 00:20:44,980 --> 00:20:47,980 And we're trying to see who can do a certain thing first 227 00:20:47,980 --> 00:20:52,980 Mm-hmm, and then my my last idea was does it have couch co-op and if not zero out of ten? 228 00:20:54,300 --> 00:21:00,100 So the whole idea of like review reboot because I was kind of think I didn't bring this up to you 229 00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:04,460 But so I had the flawed reviews idea, but then I thought of like what if we just for fun 230 00:21:05,300 --> 00:21:10,080 Decided that every different review we would be reviewing that game on a completely different metric 231 00:21:10,420 --> 00:21:17,420 That was somewhat arbitrary reviewing it on like view distance. Yeah, like just like just like everyone had like like a very 232 00:21:18,420 --> 00:21:24,860 Verticality yeah, like some sort of very specific metric that only applies to like that game tears of the kingdom would win on that one 233 00:21:24,940 --> 00:21:28,980 Yeah, so like that would be like one like it would be like you can fall for like ten minutes 234 00:21:28,980 --> 00:21:34,820 Yeah, okay, so I mean if any of those if any of those concepts tickled something inside of you in a 235 00:21:35,420 --> 00:21:39,740 Totally platonic way. Let us know and leave a comment 236 00:21:40,580 --> 00:21:48,020 You know, we're excited to have game link launched and we're excited to do some more stuff with it other than just news 237 00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:54,820 Maybe again, this is all very speculative, but we basically want to know what you guys want to see 238 00:21:55,660 --> 00:22:01,900 So we can hopefully make some content on this gaming channel not just gaming news, but for now 239 00:22:03,020 --> 00:22:09,980 100% what we're doing is gaming news and then in the future. You just let us know how you want these monkeys to dance. I 240 00:22:12,620 --> 00:22:18,340 Take offense to that. I don't dance and I'm not a monkey. Ape 241 00:22:19,180 --> 00:22:25,020 I'm sorry. We're good. These apes can boogie. All right, so that's all the time we have for today 242 00:22:25,020 --> 00:22:33,580 Thanks for watching guys. This is I mean this is sort of a talk link It seems like we're only doing talk linked on days where we physically can't go and upload a regular TechLinked episode 243 00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:36,900 But subscribe let us know if you want to see more of this 244 00:22:36,900 --> 00:22:42,380 Let us know what you want to see on GameLinked and we'll see you soon and as always. I love you 245 00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:51,300 That's I used to that's my thing Love you. I love you too. Wait, sorry. Yeah, right cut that
