6:37 PMAndrew Eisen​Oh? What did it do?

6:39 PMeathdemon​less up a joke, more of a surprise, but still.

6:41 PMAndrew Eisen​Want to like that show. So much incredible thought, craft, imagination and intelligence in the writing but I honestly can’t stand it.

6:41 PMeathdemon​dont mind it, but not huge fan ether, but still a good way to win April 1st.

6:47 PME. Zachary Knight​Hello

6:48 PME. Zachary Knight​Saturdays and Sundays just aren’t good days for me when it comes to April Fools. I am just way too busy to be able to follow anything.

6:50 PMeathdemon​adult swim have come a shockingly big in the games industry as a leading indie publisher, with a very very good track record

6:55 PMkratos3821​Nintendo fans “damage controlling since 1996”

6:55 PMAndrew Eisen​Referring to something specific?

6:56 PMkratos3821​after a few big aaa announcements , it’s obvious that nintendon’t gonna have aaa support

6:57 PMAndrew Eisen​Who is damage controlling and how?

6:58 PMkratos3821​that’s slogan for t-shirt

6:58 PMkratos3821​Nintendo fans “who’s damage controlling and how?”

6:59 PM13Ucube​youtube policies suck

7:00 PM13Ucube​they don’t give live announcements for your channel

7:01 PMeathdemon​star wars battlefront 2

7:01 PMeathdemon​given how switchs are selling, I hope they kill off the 3ds

7:03 PMeathdemon​sounds like you should have used your gps lol

7:04 PM13Ucube​Is the third stamina wheel worth building or should I just get hearts?

7:06 PM13Ucube​Aah yes, Attention Deficiency

7:09 PMeathdemon​andre I sent you a tweat, I would like to hear you and ezk reaction to it, I found it funny.

7:10 PMAndrew Eisen​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VxV7…

7:11 PM13Ucube​btw, thanks for getting Daytona stuck in my head

7:13 PMMixtape Troy​Did Andrew come out as gay?

7:14 PMeathdemon​I think 11 or something

7:15 PMMixtape Troy​I expected something like that from you today.

7:17 PMMixtape Troy​Yeah Apr 1st

7:18 PMLakster37​ I knew it! they were actors!

7:18 PMMixtape Troy​Truman?!

7:19 PMLakster37​I bet you don’t even live in Oklahoma, do you?

7:19 PMMixtape Troy​Andrew you’re a liar.

7:19 PMCyberjin​I hire actors too, but for friends

7:19 PMMixtape Troy​You’re way to lean and handsome to be a lush

7:20 PMMixtape Troy​Who’s Mad Cats?

7:21 PMLakster37​I think that’s the first time I saw EZK without a hat

7:21 PMeathdemon​good riddens all their stuff was crap

7:21 PMLakster37​it’s with a “z”, silly. that’s how you knew they were quality

7:22 PMMixtape Troy​Zackary’s connection sounds and looks really poor.

7:22 PMmonkeyboi​Zach sounds like a glitch robot

7:23 PMMixtape Troy​Yikes.

7:23 PMeathdemon​dam ezk thats bad

7:23 PMMixtape Troy​8 people sharing it can’t be helping.

7:23 PMTrilink​thanks to Breath of the Wild, i can catch this live for once!

7:23 PMeathdemon​set up a second acess point

7:24 PMLakster37​why are there so many devices on wifi? I thought your family was a sham. aren’t you alone?

7:24 PMCyberjin​get extenders for your wifi

7:24 PMMixtape Troy​lol

7:25 PMMixtape Troy​Yeah I hear that’s where all their money went

7:25 PMLakster37​I guess that makes sense for them to want to publish a game w/ so many peripherals… did they ever publish any other games?

7:26 PMNick Bradley​Just came in and so far Ive heard nothing about Nicki Minaj…

7:26 PMeathdemon​I have just ignored peta, they are just begging for attention

7:26 PMLakster37​… that game is just called “Milk” …?

7:27 PMMixtape Troy​@Lakster37 if ARMS is just called ARMS…

7:27 PMLakster37​does that stand for something?

7:28 PMLakster37​for some reason I always thought it did, maybe it doesn’t

7:28 PMMixtape Troy​Don’t think so

7:29 PMLakster37​Are your udders ready?

7:30 PMI Love Woodchucks Society​Does anyone actually take PETA seriously?

7:30 PMMixtape Troy​PETA’s trolling is growing more and more obvious as time goes on.

7:33 PMNick Bradley​Lol there is no way they wrote that, that is insane

7:33 PMLakster37​do they emphasize “switch” in their written statement?

7:34 PMAndrew Eisen​Here’s the link if you don’t believe me: https://www.facebook.com/official.pet…

7:34 PMLakster37​you could see how many almonds are in a cup… that you shake around to make almond milk?

7:34 PMeathdemon​well peta is insane, someone get peta some peta bread

7:34 PMCyberjin​they shouldn’t be taken seriously

7:35 PMCyberjin​losing credibility

7:36 PMNick Bradley​Holy cow, that is udderly insane.

7:36 PMLakster37​nah, they just do these things for publicity. I don’t think they actually care about most depictions of animals in games

7:38 PMLakster37​(Japan – are they anywhere else?)

7:40 PMI Love Woodchucks Society​I love woodchucks, and I have no problem with how they were poorly represented in the video game “Over the Hedge”

7:41 PMLakster37​but no one would have ever read it

7:41 PMeathdemon​good example prison architect

7:42 PMlittlegittel​Wait, games don’t represent reality? You mean there aren’t fire breathing flowers in the sewer?

7:43 PMkratos3821​p.e.t.a “people enjoying tits and asses ” , that’s the reason why they’re bad at taking care of animals

7:44 PMeathdemon​spec ops the line

7:45 PMLakster37​no kratos, if they’re busy doing that, then they can’t be abusing animals

7:45 PMLakster37​or… at least not as much

7:47 PMeathdemon​they cant anyway most of the web is h t t p s btw, all they can see is domain names nothing else

7:48 PMHoqZz-​Hello its hoqzz- here

7:50 PMHoqZz-​Hello andrew eisen and e zachery night

7:51 PMHoqZz-​Typo

7:54 PMMixtape Troy​So… what effectively is happening?

7:54 PMMixtape Troy​There’s a lot of conflicting info

7:55 PMLakster37​I get specific ads from Google based on specific searches and stuff I’ve done, though

7:55 PMLakster37​but that DOES actually happen NOW

7:55 PMLakster37​if you go searching for semen, there’s a good chance you’ll get semen ads…

7:57 PM13Ucube​nothing is actually changing because Congress doesn’t ever ACTUALLY do anything

7:58 PM13Ucube​… except spend money they don’t have

7:58 PMMixtape Troy​Okay. I was thinking they were going to be selling data now

7:58 PMLakster37​they can now

7:58 PMMixtape Troy​Oh so Comcast and Time Warner and their ilk lobbied for this

7:59 PMLakster37​definitely

7:59 PMLakster37​so does Google not sell that search info? they just use it for themselves? or do they sell to other advertisers as well?

8:01 PMMixtape Troy​(Big) Business as usual in America.

8:01 PMLakster37​you’re hampering the free market, Andrew

8:02 PMMixtape Troy​Your connection has improved though, Zack!

8:03 PMLakster37​idk why, I’m surprised they haven’t completely shut of ezk’s internet with what he’s been saying

8:03 PMeathdemon​if I were king for a day, I would force line sharing

8:05 PMSheriff Texas​andrew is epic 🙂

8:05 PMMixtape Troy​Wow my god your reading voice was perfect

8:06 PMeathdemon​just make the tools ver acounts get avalable to all, if it costs to much have people paay $5 a month for people who want them

8:06 PMlittlegittel​Very Marie Antoinette of them. “We don’t have bread” ” let them eat cake.” Eggs are harassment.” “Change the icon”

8:08 PMLakster37​I think “not all eggs” is a perfect description

8:09 PMLakster37​corn rows, Andrew

8:11 PMLakster37​I’m pretty sure Wii U used something similar to blu-ray… not DVD

8:11 PMScottyJayMan​Wii U disc was proprietary, holds 26gb

8:12 PMLakster37​right, just like Wii, but Wii was basically DVD. Wii U is very similar to bluray, at least from my understanding

8:12 PMLakster37​only Australians cared about this?

8:15 PMeathdemon​its not solid state, its faster than a disc, but slower than a ssd

8:16 PMLakster37​my thought was, maybe it was just something that was leftover from ps4 or xb1 box?

8:16 PMeathdemon​in fact digital foundry found internal memory to be the fastest way to load games

8:16 PMJacks 47​My

8:17 PMLakster37​it may be slower, but I’m pretty sure it’s still solid state…

8:17 PMLakster37​you could call n64 carts solid state

8:18 PMeathdemon​its solid state, but not a ssd

8:19 PMScottyJayMan​Psp go was 🙂

8:19 PMLakster37​it’s pretty much a proprietary flash cart isn’t it?

8:19 PMLakster37​haha ^

8:19 PMCarl King​I expected twerking guys

8:19 PMScottyJayMan​Depends on the time zone

8:20 PMLakster37​so that means you’ve tried?

8:20 PMCarl King​

8:21 PMCarl King​Trump 2020

8:22 PMCarl King​

8:22 PM13Ucube​what’s your idea for 24 hr game a thon that you say you are going to probably forget??

8:23 PMLakster37​We want for everything but Switch

8:23 PMScottyJayMan​More of you watching kitties

8:23 PMLakster37​why doyou need patience for Let’s Plays? There’s not much editing at all… just record and upload

8:23 PM13Ucube​btw Zachary thank u for subscribing!!

8:24 PMkratos3821​nintendo it’s just not being supported by aaa and the few games they’ll get are gonna cost 10 bucks more…. Nintendo fans “2017 and still damage controlling”

8:24 PMCarl King​I subbed because you masturbated to kittens so don’t know what i expect lol

8:25 PMMixtape Troy​@Lakster37 syncing game audio and voice audio, cutting of certain footage, lowering white noise levels, etc

8:26 PMLakster37​I think people would most want you to do ASMR btw, Andrew

8:26 PMMixtape Troy​Watching, re-watching, editing levels, re-watching

8:26 PMMixtape Troy​Lots goes into Let’s Playing

8:26 PMLakster37​yeah, most Let’s plays don’t do that… maybe dividng it up in 20 min parts

8:26 PMLakster37​but that’s not that difficult, especially if you just record it that way

8:28 PMLakster37​yeah, I completely understand that most videos require lots of editting, I was just saying: Let’s Plays are one of the few types of videos that really don’t…

8:28 PMLakster37​just set up everything the way you want, record it that way, and post

8:29 PMMixtape Troy​Agree to disagree Lakster. Try it out if you haven’t, lot more to it than you would think.

8:31 PMLakster37​If you want to go through the process of editing out boring bits, yes I agree. But if you’re literally just showing everything, like a live stream divided into parts

8:32 PMLakster37​which a lot of Let’s Plays do, it’s not that hard

8:32 PMMixtape Troy​You were presenting facts, not pandering to Nintendo, Andrew.

8:32 PMMixtape Troy​They get like that.

8:33 PMLakster37​it’s nowhere near 3 dozen is it?

8:34 PMMixtape Troy​More like one dozen Lakster

8:34 PMLakster37​yeah let’s what I’d say lol

8:36 PMLakster37​see that sort of thing starts getting into what I would consider more of a review, maybe with lots of gameplay. but to me the benefit of Let’s Play is people experiencing a game with their audience

8:37 PMMixtape Troy​Chuggaconroy’s level of quality is unreal

8:37 PMLakster37​alright, fair enough

8:39 PMCarl King​You need to get voice over work bro i think even Alex Jones made about 800k one year from it and your voice is better ️

8:43 PMCarl King​50 shades of Trey Gowdy

8:43 PMLakster37​shapes of grey? were you saying words you wouldn’t want to repeat on the podcast?

8:43 PMMixtape Troy​Damn that sucks Andrew

8:44 PMLakster37​well most people hear their own voice lower than they do. for you, it’s not possible to be lower Andrew

8:45 PMMixtape Troy​Barbershop Quartets?!

8:47 PM13Ucube​We need more barbershop vids Andrew

8:51 PM13Ucube​Descant is so fun

8:51 PMCarl King​

8:52 PM13Ucube​Anyway the wind blows

8:54 PMMixtape Troy​It’s interesting to hear you guys explain the things I hear in your words

8:56 PMMixtape Troy​6k views and counting on that video

8:56 PMCarl King​loved it guys i need to do pull ups on the neighbours stairs anyway ️

8:57 PMCarl King​Haha

8:58 PM13Ucube​Are they ever going to restock the Classic edition

9:00 PMLakster37​that’s more than 1 bit on controls…
