Never get me wrong! Collin is a mad dope host. Please… gotta say tho! I’ve been digging Brad as a host and Collin bein’ sideshow freak. Especially on this EP.

Love when Jason comes on the shows. Great episode.

Both are fun and are separate from each other. It isn't necessary to play the first game to understand the second, however, Octopath 2 has noticeable improvements over the first game in a few ways. Gameplay and exploration is better in the second game as well as story cohesion with the 8 characters. Preferring the stories between OT1 and OT2 is subjective because I've had people tell me they liked the first story more and vice versa. You can say the same with music too. Personally, I liked the second game better, but I also really enjoyed the first game. Don't expect a groundbreaking narrative, but you will experience a unique and well made battle system and a beautiful world to explore.

Random question to the community: I saw both Octopath games are now on Gamepass. Do I need to play both or should I skip to 2?

From studies I’ve read, normal metabolism range is 150-200 cals in either direction. I’m not too sure on buying in on the “my metabolism went to shit GGs” mentality when that’s like a half peanut butter sandwich difference

I like how Colin says how Gannon is defeated in Twilight Princess, but when Brad going to say what happens to him in Wind Waker, Colin tells him to be careful of spoilers 😂

I've never related to anyone so hard about eating PB straight outta the jar. Same problem, Colin.

That thumbnail is tremendous

The “where are the games?” argument still stands. PS5 sales isn’t an argument. Sonys direct competition hasn’t released a worthwhile candidate since Gears 3 and has made PS5 the defacto console of choice. If you think there’s this massive overlap between Japanese shit like Final fantasy/stellar blade/gran blue fantasy and Helldivers… I don’t know what to tell you. You are not even remotely the norm in this case. Western audiences who don’t subscribe to the JRPG factory have had a slow year. Where are the games?

Selaco is hard? All these kids need to play BLOOD.

Brad saying Colin listening to speeches while playing playing a checklist open world game was Far Cry villain behaviour was hilarious 🤣. I legitimately LOLd in bed at 1am
Subeg
Ahhh you missed a some Col. rams vs niners, dodgers vs padres, and clippers vs lakers!

I don't know if Brad will see this, but in response to White Knight Chronicles: If you haven't played the games before, I'd recommend picking up WKC2 instead of 1. White Knight Chronicles 2 features all of the single player content of 1, but retooled with the improved combat introduced in 2 in addition to the new story stuff (the actual sequel stuff). In other words, unless you're interested in playing through the original with the worse combat for the sake of experiencing what it was like, save yourself some time and headache.

The Bills and the Jets Colin. They are much closer than the sharks and the kings.
Yalingo
Great episode guys. I bought system shock, I loved deus ex so going to give it a crack. I had Turok back on the game boy as well, game was so bad but awesome at the same time 😅
Noah Trujillo
Summon sign is so good. I love just hearing about what folks are playing. I keep a list of a lot of the games that get spoken about that I’d like to play, and it’s starting to get untenable. Colin is on the money with the idea that there are TOO many good games. Idk what people are left wanting for
Ryan Zimm
Rise of the Ronin seems like the kind of game I'd really enjoy. I loved Wo Long, but couldn't get into Nioh. There are just too many games at the moment and I can't justify buying it right now
Joe Perez
Brad calling Colin and Jason fat geniuses hahaha

I liked the culture war comments. Agreed with most of it so why wouldn't I! What I wonder about sometimes is how many people try to get into gaming communities. Take one look at that end of it and nope out. Probably more indicative of what I read and watch but gaming does seem to be a complete shit show for weeks at a time every other month.
AngelOfCake
A similar thing happened to me with Zero. I wonder if there is boss trophy metrics for the remake of two or any other resident evil and that caused a drop off.
Colin Moriarty
The implication that Dustin is just a lil boy is hilarious.
Jimmer
The league no one watches but wants to be paid just as much as the men or else everyone is sexist is the LAST place you’d expect a culture war??
Derek Alcott
Totally agree with Colin on culture war. I'm not just talking videogames either. Now the WNBA has culture war. That's the last sport I'd expect a culture war. I do wonder if culture war will come up on the next Constellation episode.
Colin Moriarty
Great episode, guys! And yes Brad, I played Turok: Evolution on Xbox and I found it to be unreasonably hard, especially the stupid flying parts. Turok 2008, despite feeling a little muddy control-wise, was a pretty cool reboot and I was disappointed to not see a continuation in that style.
Wesali
Brad I'll be looking forward to what you think of Rise after a few hours in the open world! Can't say I enjoyed it that much, those 10 hours were just trying to push through.
Sir Poops McGuffin
I kinda like White Knigjt Chronicles 1/2 just saying 😂
Jeff in NOLA
I think a monthly plus on it would work well, if that was something they wanted to do
Jase Lingard
That thumbnail is spot on 😂. Can’t wait to listen.

We sail around the world and go port to port. Every time I cum I produce a quart Put on your life vest, let's drop anchor. There's a nice lady whore, I'd like to spank her -Matthew Perry
Kevin Miller
What an amazing lineup!!! Great episode
Michael Mashpotato
I made it to the airplane in Code Veronica X on the GameCube. I had 0 ammo and no herbs. I never went back to it.
Ryan
Elite lineup. I genuinely think LSM should do a sports show, I think a lot more people would listen than Colin thinks
Michael Mashpotato
Dude…… Psi-ops?? I fucking loved that game.
Caleb Peacock
Colin needs health is wealth bad lmao. I feel like he just cares if he has a pot belly or not.
Have you considered considering considerations considerately considerate
10/10 on the thumbnail by the gods!! Also can we get this as a shirt because it’s dope!!!
Kendrick Calles (Ca-Yes)
Brad. Just wanna say. Love the extended food/hockey/random talk for the first 40 min. Keep it all up good sir.

Being from LA I can tell you the kings/Ducks rivalry is very real
JR
Hell yeah Summon Sign!

What a thumbnail 🫨 also I been thinking of buying this system shock, it's a good price and I've always been interested in playing it. It's a game with heritage I never got to experience.
Ricardo Chavez
This guest sounds like an adult Dustin Furman.
Michael Mashpotato
Roger Clemens throwing a bat at Mike Piazza was definitely part of the 2000 rivalry.
Riley Donovan
ok at this point I think Colin needs to take a nutrition class because he seems completely out of touch with how calories work, especially for someone who obsesses about it so much
Noah Friscopp
Col-ann
Colin Moriarty
Glorious.
