EZK had technical problems so it’s another Andrew solo show. He talks a bit about IT (which he still hasn’t seen) and the recent Nintendo Direct but he spends most of the time complaining about amiibo. Fun stuff!

If you missed Saturday’s live broadcast of Molehill Mountain, you can watch the video replay on YouTube. Alternatively, you can catch audio versions of the show on iTunes.

Molehill Mountain streams live at 7p PST every Saturday night on RandomTower!

7:11 PMeathdemon​back in the day in a galaxy far far away

7:16 PMeathdemon​what youtube/twitch doesnt work well in your office? they stream on those

7:17 PMeathdemon​my guess we will know Retro stuff at e3 2018

7:17 PMjordan thompson​I am already afraid after reading the title of this stream

7:18 PMeathdemon​4 years, so we are do than. game dev is 3 to 4 years

7:19 PMeathdemon​safe bet, we get a zelda direct

7:19 PMjordan thompson​a heat of the moment sounds like you’re trying to justify a not quite so justifiable homicide

7:21 PMjordan thompson​BREAKING NEWS :TSA says though fictional please still don’t bring bombs to kill the dodongo just refill when we land

7:23 PMjordan thompson​is the Zelda content a good excuse to put Skyrim on switch

7:25 PMeathdemon​switch is getting doom(2017) and wolfenstien 2

7:26 PMjordan thompson​if Andrew had a switch it would have the cleanest touchpad since it will always be docked (let me im wrong)

7:28 PMeathdemon​the switch is the vita 2.0, but with way way better 1st party support, but I am a ok with that

7:29 PMeathdemon​people who travel a ton for work

7:29 PMjordan thompson​to relive the good old days when you played Tetris on the shitter for an hour and forgot you were in the bathroom

7:29 PMeathdemon​those who use mass tranist to get to and from work ect

7:31 PMeathdemon​I dont know anyone who does portable at home, but who love the switch becouse of a shit ton of work travel

7:33 PMjordan thompson​Trump : “wrong”

7:33 PMjordan thompson​sorry had to do it

7:34 PMeathdemon​doom did just fun, that opening lvl

7:34 PMjordan thompson​humor doesn’t always work through text so excuse the context issues

7:37 PMjordan thompson​here in the year 2040 and still no Mario kingdom warriors, Nintendo why you no love me

7:38 PMjordan thompson​mushroom kingdom warriors

7:38 PMeathdemon​some people are saying m+rabids is best switch game

7:39 PMMonk Games​I love Fire Emblem and this warriors sucks, but I hate every warriors, so dont take my word for it

7:41 PMjordan thompson​I liked the appeal of the micro coster for $60 (I think it was 1 2 switch)

7:42 PMeathdemon​blame nintendo fans for buying amibos

7:45 PMTrey Ahzze​why not just buy the game and play it..without purchasing the Amiibos

7:45 PMjordan thompson​screw shia labouf it’s Andrews time – “don’t do that” 2017

7:48 PMSean Sharpe​With Splatoon 2, none of the gear you unlock with in is any better than stuff you can find in the game. Most of it’s actually worse. Ditto for Breath of the Wild.

7:49 PMjordan thompson​its official Andrews lost another bright mind lost to the silly business practices of a multi billion dollars game company, a candle light vigle will be held at dawn there will be pie

7:50 PMSean Sharpe​The shit they pulled with Metroid Returns is total bullshit though.

7:51 PMMixtape Troy​Yeah Andrew isn’t getting a Switch I don’t think lol

7:51 PMMixtape Troy​I know how you feel, buddy. I can’t afford $60 games AT ALL

7:52 PMSean Sharpe​I can! …But I buy like four games a year if that.

7:56 PMTrey Ahzze​just a costume, few stuff..dont care. WHen I get DLC code in a game..i never use it..or forget

7:57 PMMixtape Troy​About those gamers that don’t mind: most of them never lived in a time when you got everything when you paid at release.

7:58 PMLakster37​would it change your opinion if the data for the gear is actually on the amiibo rather than in the game (e.g. a Wind Waker tunic for Toon Link amiibo) so that amiibo isn’t an unlock key?

8:00 PMjordan thompson​back in the day cheat books were kinda another form of dlc since you were accessing thing you normally wouldn’t by buying a book of codes

8:00 PMSean Sharpe​There’s also like $90 DLC in Gal Gun that gives you x-ray vision to see anime panties.

8:07 PMMixtape Troy​Lava Barf Dude lol

8:09 PMjordan thompson​explain the amiibo concept 5 more times we’re slo……… oh a bird ….. what was I saying

8:10 PMMixtape Troy​It doesn’t make Nintendo less money. There are people that want the Metroid amiibo and it’s impossible to find. They’d make money if they had that content be downloadable.

8:13 PMjordan thompson​any thoughts on the new 2ds

8:15 PMjordan thompson​dlc would die if we were like you, that’s not bad I’m just stating the fact

8:16 PMjordan thompson​was I accidentally blocked

8:16 PMjordan thompson​am I good

8:16 PMSean Sharpe​Without DLC, games would be more than $60 new, too.

8:19 PMRyan Steele​I agree with that timing argument totally. Imagine if Ocarina of Time

8:19 PMRyan Steele​‘s Master Quest was Day 1 DLC

8:20 PMjordan thompson​okay so legend of Zelda botw is 60 there is 3 dlcs with 3 separate prices a good way to counter act the dlc overload is to rather have one giant dlc pack for maybe at the most selling it for half of

8:20 PMMixtape Troy​Witcher 3 has some of the best DLC ever.

8:20 PMjordan thompson​what you bought the original game for

8:20 PMSean Sharpe​Witcher 3 has great DLC… But I don’t think any game’s DLC can ever touch Fallout: New Vegas’.

8:23 PMSean Sharpe​Are Switch’s still hard to find in your area?

8:24 PMSean Sharpe​Also… Thank you for debut review. It saves me from watching awful anime.

8:24 PMjordan thompson​wish I had something to show you from the anime/manga idea I had

8:26 PMjordan thompson​if ever possible I’d still like to sent fan mail so keep that idea on mind

8:28 PMCodeNameZ​hi guys

8:28 PMCodeNameZ​how you all doing

8:29 PMCodeNameZ​Wekl an audio CD can only fit 80mins of music

8:29 PMCodeNameZ​well*

8:31 PMCodeNameZ​Did you hear we got info that Doom singleplayer will be on the game card and the multiplayer will be an optinal download

8:32 PMjordan thompson​can you see if others like the idea of a fan mail option

8:33 PMCodeNameZ​So you can tap the Mario amiibo and you play as Mario in Doom 😉

8:33 PMCodeNameZ​jk

8:35 PMjordan thompson​ha just imagine video game characters in a copyright slave trade ….. life’s sad

8:36 PMjordan thompson​pennywise been hitting his own stash to much

8:36 PMMixtape Troy​You ready to be jump startl–SCARED?

8:37 PMCodeNameZ​Well I’m glad the Switch is getting Doom and W2 if it sells well we might get the oposide effect compared to the Wii U

8:37 PMSean Sharpe​I don’t know. They let sexy Princess Peach costume in Bayonetta 2. Maybe they’d let Doomario.

8:39 PMCodeNameZ​I’m fine with ports. I dont own a PS4 or X1 so getting ports is good for me

8:39 PMSean Sharpe​We’re getting Wolfenstein II late because comes out the same day as Super Mario Odyssey.

8:40 PMjordan thompson​is it safe to assume that we all make that pennywise face at …….. KITTENS “like Andrew”

8:42 PMjordan thompson​so Skyrim on switch can we speculate on a fallout 4 on switch since the Nintendo bathesna connections been made

8:43 PMSean Sharpe​At first I thought Fallout 4 on the Switch could be awesome… But then I realized it wouldn’t have mods and that means settlement building wouldn’t be a fun.

8:43 PMSean Sharpe​So I’ll just go back to the PS4 version.

8:43 PMMixtape Troy​Please let us know how IT is, Andrew lol

8:44 PMSean Sharpe​*as fun

8:44 PMjordan thompson​slurp slurp …… KITTENS!!!!

8:44 PMCodeNameZ​Fallout on the go? The Switch will be soldout up to 2020

8:45 PMSean Sharpe​Fallout 4 is the second worst Fallout though

8:45 PMSean Sharpe​(I still love it because I’m a Fallout fanboy.)

8:45 PMSean Sharpe​…Fallout: New Vegas on the Switch though… I’d buy it a third time.
