We are going to be referencing White Wolf a lot, even though we have experience with multiple systems. Why? And why "the Old World of Darkness"? We're going to talk about where we're coming from, what we like about the Old World and share some stories of how we got here.

Sorry for the lateness, like everything else, we're adjusting to the new changes. https://youtu.be/wcUM869joyM

Who is Morbius? When is it going to come out. We record everything we know...before quarantine, but it should still be on schedule for March 21st, 2021. In the 616 comic universe, Michael Morbius was a scientist born in Greece who became a Nobel Prize winning biochemist. He suffered from a debilitating blood disease and developed an experimental treatment involving vampire bats and electroshocks. Its side effects turned him into a pseudo-vampire who needed to consume blood in order to survive, and gained typical vampire characteristics such as an aversion to sunlight, and the powers of flight, enhanced strength, speed, and healing (a healing factor). His overall appearance changed as well: he gained fangs, his nose flattened to appear more bat-like, and his skin became extremely pale. Additionally, the victims of his bite would turn into living vampires themselves. When he first experienced the change, he killed the assistant who had helped him develop the treatment. What will he be like in the film? We share everything we know so far! FrankenCastle - He's so cool! If you want to watch us record this episode, here is the video version   https://youtu.be/VAhXZxCZR8I

Leaks from Sony came out in the form of Playstation 5’s new logo, which looks EXACTLY the same as the other 4.  Sony also announced it has no intention of attending E3 this year and will do their own show to officially announce the PS5. For the first time ever, a movie was “patched”. Cats received a day 1 update to fix some CGI that was missed. Ryan Reynolds confirmed Deadpool 3 is in the works, and at Marvel Studios no less! In an unprecedented move, “New Mutants” is back and will be released April 3rd In a somewhat heartwarming story (depends on how you view things) a teenager was saved while he had a seizure from his friend 5,000 miles away who heard him and called the police to come to his house. Kenobi is coming, with Ewan McGregor! Jared Leto is back…in Morbius? SECRET LINK

This week’s mission debriefs: News from the Video Game Awards and Sony’s State of Play. The Announcements! X-Box unveils the title, in which they put a LOT of thought into, of their next-gen console. Aptly dubbed, X-Box Series X, or as we call it… XboxX Gearbox is making another “Looter” type game, but this one is a “Looter-Slasher” and is a PS5 launch game. ‘Godfall’ looks ridiculous, in a good way. The man who started Battle Royales announced…something. We got a ‘teaser’ for something mysteriously named “Prologue” Ghosts of Tsushima trailer dropped. Let’s talk about it. The AWARDS! Game of the Year: Sekiro: Shadow’s Die Twice Action Game: Devil May Cry 5 Action-Adventure Game: Sekiro (Again) Disco Elysium, blowing it away with: Fresh Indie Game, Independent Game, Narrative, RPG VR Game: No suprise, Beat Saber Sports/Racing Game: Crash Team Racing Fighting Game: Smash Bros, (anyone surprised?) The State of Play announcements:  Spellbreak. What to say about it? Dreams. Coming Valentine’s Day 2020, will it bust? Untitled Goose Game. December 17th Babylon’s Fall, from the makers of Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising, and Nier: Automata. And it looks like… the same games, but better quality? Predator: Hunting Grounds seems super fun, but looks, not up to par with today’s graphics. RE3 Remake gets… multiplayer? Project Resistance gets rolled up into RE3 remake…or is it the other way around? Either way, they’re together. J.J. Abrams does J.J. Abrams things and teased Ahsoka Tano in Rise of Skywalker. Do we trust him? The amazing rework of Sonic might be for naught. The movie is still coming, but the heroes are reportedly out of a job. Moving Picture Company has shut down. Samuel L. Jackson can now be Alexa’s voice… complete with explicit options. Hackers are doing Bethesda’s job and putting NPCs in Fallout 76 SECRET LINK!

In this “Done Quick” we talk about Resident Evil. Want to know all about this game but don’t want to put 20 hours into playing it? Then listen here and be ready to be the expert tomorrow!   The Top 5 Trivia: Resident Evil’s Japanese name is Biohazard. It had to be changed for American release because of a band with the same name. The Japanese version used the English dub even though Capcom recorded a Japanese version. This was, ironically, because Capcom thought the Japanese dub was too horrible. Funny enough the English dub is considered some of the worst in video game history. Albert Wesker is the only Resident Evil character that appears or is mentioned in every Resident Evil game except for the spinoffs. He is pretty much the catalyst for the whole series. In Resident Evil 0 he appears in certain cutscenes. In Resident Evil 2 & 3 the player can find his desk in the S.T.A.R.S’ office. If examined the player will say that it belongs to Wesker, leader of the S.T.A.R.S unit. In Resident Evil 4 he is mentioned by Ada Wong and seen on a small monitor. In Code Veronica he plays a vital role in the storyline, appearing in certain key moments. In Resident Evil 5 he is the main antagonist. In Resident Evil 6 he is mentioned by Chris Redfield when Chris is talking to Jake, Wesker’s son. Although the genre was not entirely new, this was the first game to use and coin the term “survival horror”. The canon ending can not be achieved in the game. The best ending for both scenarios has only three characters surviving (Jill, Chris and Barry or Jill, Chris and Rebecca). The characters Jill, Chris, Barry have all appeared in at least one video game taking place after the events of the original Resident Evil videogame. Rebecca returned alongside Chris in the Capcom produced CGI animated feature film Resident Evil Vendetta which is part of the main canon. The “Done REALLY Quick”:   A man and a woman enter a spooky mansion, play with some animals and homeless people, set the bitch on fire and get the hell out of there, but with zombies.

Tomb Raider was the creation of just six people. The game initially starred a male Indiana Jones rip-off. Lara Croft began life as spicy Latina, Laura Cruz. There’s an actual Lara Croft living somewhere in Derby, England. Lara was made of only 540 polygons. Versus the +40,000 now. Lara’s trademark braid had to be cut from the game. Ms. Croft’s breast size was, like, totally an accident. Totally. The Croft Manor area was built in a single weekend. Lara has the Ark of the Covenant, in her house! More specifically, her foyer. Only six people are killed throughout the original Tomb Raider. Versus the WELL over 100 in the 2013 release. Shelley Blond, the voice of Lara in the first game, only got to play her once. A total of 5 different voice actresses have played her now. Sony wasn’t going to allow Tomb Raider on the Playstation at first. “Lara Croft” released two terrible albums (Female Icon and Come Alive) that only came out in France.  Eight different models

Go follow her Watch her play Zelda on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/songofstormsplay See her cosplay on Instagram!: https://www.instagram.com/song.of.stormz/   History of Hyrule: In the beginning, the world was created by the three goddesses, Din (The goddess of power that created the land), Nayru (The goddess of wisdom that created order), and Farore (The goddess of courage that created life). Before they departed, they also created the Triforce and gave it to the goddess Hylia for safekeeping. The Triforce embodies the three goddesses virtues, Power (the top piece), Wisdom (the bottom left piece), and Courage (the bottom right piece) and will grant a wish to anyone who has a balance all three of these traits.
