8-4 Play Podcast |OT| A Podcast about Video Games, Japan and Japanese Video Games

[xch1n]

I feel very called out for my Sudafed comment. Also, thank you for directing me to the 198X trailer in my YouTube feed. I watched it and it looks great. I'll be checking that out pronto. The 8-4 bump is a real thing, feel free to use this testimonial in your pitches.

 

[Curufinwe]

You guys need to talk about the secret final boss in the KH3 DLC next time.

 

[Jugendstil]

John owes me a steak too.

 

[Staal]

Toon many steaks owned...
Still a fun podcast.

 

[rawhide]

There needs to be a steak bet tier of the patreon, which I'm sure will be ready to go any day now.

 

[Jo-awn]

Lol at the guys reacting to the thread and remarking that they don't engage in it much. Cue the there are dozens of us Arrested Development GIF. Heck, Jeremy Parish and Bob Mackey actively reply to posts in the Retronauts thread lol so step your game up 8-4 boys.

I need to give it a re-listen since I listened to it while dozing off to sleep again. But I'm a bit disappointed in boss battles being mostly the same in Yakuza 7. I knew Heat Actions were a thing that was nixed for the most part. Otherwise, I'm not too surprised that John and Graeme are into it.

Also, as a tall guy who had the pleasure of getting middle seat on my flight to and from Texas last week, it's not fun. Window or aisle is usually ideal for me because the former means I have a corner. Whereas the latter allows me to get up when necessary to either stretch or use the restroom. I dread getting on a flight longer than 5 hours where dressing comfortably and getting up to get the blood flowing is a must. I haven't been to Europe/Asia/Africa/Australia yet so those will be the real test to enduring long flights.

 

[Soilbreaker]

Hope that Roy gets through with the remaining of KH3 cause I really want to hear his reaction of the DLC.

 

[john tv]

Huh, even tho I watch (i.e. subscribed to) this thread, it stopped giving me notifications when it got updated, so I just assumed it was dead. My bad! (Is that normal BTW?)

i have a lot of posts to catch up on over the next couple weeks!

 

[TheSporkWithin]

john tv If you ever click to look at notifications and see that a thread has updated, but then don't click through into the thread, it will stop alerting you about new posts to that thread. It'll still show up in bold in your Watched Threads list though until you actually read the new posts.

I just need more information on the outtro service that will provide pizzas, wedding cakes, OR GUNS in 30 min or your money back.

 

[ChillWinston]

Came here to post something after hearing the chat about the thread being dead (looks like plenty of people beat me to it)

I'm just gonna say that Graeme is the man and Dermot's news jingles are still extremely sub-par. Enough is enough, give us Roy!

 

[Gloam]

Graeme is the MVP. I wish him luck as I do all MVPs.

A Destiny 2 segment? Hot damn!

I've actually been playing Destiny 2 recently thanks to Stadia. Getting back into that game after not playing since launch is quite confusing.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Loving the continued Hotel Dusk talk. I really need to play Last Window. I miss Cing every day.

The way they designed the game after going F2P is to blame for that. Like you, I started playing the game again after not playing since launch, only I did it back in July or August. It was easy to replay the campaign, and it was easy to see where to go next when it came to the Forsaken stuff and the recent seasonal stuff.

Stopped playing when Death Stranding launched and used that as an excuse to break my addiction to Destiny 2.

 

[aesync]

Any talk on DQ Tact? Wanna hear the 8-4 impressions of it. I'm personally really pumped and hope theres an english localization in the release so I can download from the JP app store.

[Jintor]

Was hoping for more yak 7 talk

I'm annoyed my vacation this year covered the same period 8-4 was out of the office and the Thursday drinks were out, lol. Didn't get to drop by with my terrible Australian omiyage

 

[Camwi]

That song during the break is great.

 

[Jo-awn]

I have it downloaded but will give it a listen before bed if not at the gym. Destiny 2 talk is where I zone out but it's cool that Mark got back into it. Mark thought he was out but Luke Wilson pulled him back in.

I'm getting Yakuza Remastered Collection next week so I'll be curious to see if I share John's thoughts about not liking 3. I watched my brother play through most of it on PS3 and I liked Okinawa as a setting. I also liked a few characters and the villain. But the plot is a notch up in the absurdity from 2.

On a related note, someone is a happy panda.

Not out yet unfortunately - barely any details announced yet, actually. Says it's release is just sometime in 2020...

 

[Staal]

This type of Destiny discussion is fun in the podcast.
Fun episode!

 

[Agent Unknown]

Dragon Quest Walk sounds so good based on John's consistent praise of it, really hope it gets localized.

Also really dug hearing about Dermott's SM3DWorld playthrough with his brother from one of the holiday episodes. Protip (regarding what was mentioned on the show about getting all the stamps): I got all the character stamps needed to unlock Champion's Road on single player mode quickly during my first play through using the trick below by using my Wiimotes to activate three extra characters right before hitting the flag pole, that way I only had to play each level twice:

Super Mario 3D World Trick: Easily Beat All Levels as All 5 Characters - Guide & Walkthrough (Wii U)

http://www.GameXplain.comTrying to earn the final 5 Stamps in Super Mario 3d World can be a pain, as you have to complete every level with all 5 characters! ...

I hope that's not the last tale of Troy Fakely (you guys can have that).

 

[sixteen-bit]

Yep. Troy Story is hilarious. Please make it a recurring segment.

As a vegan I gotta say y'all omnivores got the best food stories.

Genius.

And now another tale in the Ongoing Adventures of Troy Fakely!

 

[Goldenroad]

I'll also say, one of my favorite Lou Gossett Jr flicks from the '80's, and one of my most rented movies as a kid was this one:

If you're doing that Lou Gossett Jr 8-4 challenge, you better not skip this one.

 

[KingDrool]

This is an ESSENTIAL Lou Gossett Jr. movie. Do not miss it!

 

[darkside]

Troy should be prosecuted for his crimes

 

[Brunire]

I am actually pretty surprised Roy would be friends with a guy like Troy. Kind of makes the story hard to believe, tbh.

 

[Soilbreaker]

Lol @ the PS I still love you discussion.

 

[yungronny]

Dude when are we getting 8-4 shirts. I wanna rep my boys.

Also Mark made me snort laugh twice at work today.

 

[xch1n]

I am unironically anticipating the To All The Boys discussion please don't tell me that was a bit. I would contribute to a Patreon for this discussion. Please.

 

[Dyle]

I hope they invite Troy onto the podcast one day just to shame him. I want to hear him try to defend his actions in his own words

 

[Strings]

They're looking for a podcast editor too (it's the special PSA in the show notes).

 

[FunkyStudent]

Love how Dermot rolls out a unique news intro per Mark's request, but it'll never be good enough.

Really good episode this week. Always a treat to have Graeme back. Also, please give us the Patreon; take my money spirit bomb style.

 

[KingDrool]

Just started listening. Bread & Butter pickes are delicous, especially on burgers. And Graeme is back!

 

[Staal]

Thank god they're still alive!

 

[xch1n]

Oh no, Playa Vista is in SoCal, near LA. There's gaming and tech there already. It's not far from Santa Monica Studio.

 

[Soilbreaker]

John's praising of FFXIV reminds me of how much I need to get back into playing it. Stopped after doing the first two main quest of heavenward.

 

[ChillWinston]

Anyone else have no clue what they were talking about for the last 5 minutes? Some sort of beer? That you can get in mango flavour?? That tastes different depending on where you are in the can??

Kinda want them to get this Irishman talk they keep teasing out on the table. I'm curious who likes it and who hates it (I'm guessing everyone loves it, Mark hates it?)

Strong Zero is a sour alcohol drink you can get in cans at convenience stores in Japan. There are a few standard flavors (orange, lime, grapefruit, etc..) and some seasonal ones that only show up once in a while. There are a few different brands, Strong Zero isn't the only one.

It's kind of like White Claw I guess, if it was much, much stronger and had a stronger flavor?
