But not really. We BARELY talk about the patch. It's really a Hatcast. And there are a few winners, but it's mostly a dire Hatcast. ...Not dire like Dire like Radiant and Dire. Dire like bad. Bad hats. You get the idea.

One roadtrip later, and our relationship is forever changed. Probably. I'll be honest, it doesn't feel that different. Oh, let me offer you an update! A lot of the problems I bring up in this episode have since been addressed. I have a window AC unit and it's wonderful! The drivers in my local area are timid af but at least aren't making too many dangerous choices. And I am less grouchy! At the moment, anyway. Who knows what the future holds.

Given that I was on painkillers for this recording, editing it was a journey of "huh I don't remember any of this. Did I say that? Ok." And I didn't say anything too wild. This was in fact a very tame episode. But it's a strange feeling.

Motorslice fans please don't talk to me, please get away from me. It's time for the debut of Games Critic Nick as he gets surprisingly worked up about a bad, semi-horny semi-action game voiced by the lady you all know and love from Kramer Hentai Adventure 2. I don't know what to tell you, gang.

There was no such thing as a small town on a Forge World like Novus Jersey, but The Boss's hometown was as close as you could find. Still, between the massive factoriums and their choking clouds of black smoke, the sky was a rare sight, even on the least dense place on the planet. But on the rare moments where Buce "The Bross" Spingsteen saw past the smog, the stars beyond seemed endless. But today, the curtain of smoke was closed- a velvet shroud foreclosing the future. A shroud he'd pierce one day, and escape.

Well, Nick was a very good sport about trying to guess all the pokemon. It's only fair if I do the same. Warning- mine takes longer, and is MUCH more boring. Great podcast to fall asleep to.

There's a part of me that's surprised we still do these. Should we do them for Deadlock? Idk, I just had that thought, I'll run it by Nick.

Some might say with a name like "EternalEnvy" we should have anticipated ways in which he might become someone we didn't want to hitch our wagon to. That maybe him turning into a greedy and craven day trader was less of a transformation and more of a revealing one's true colors. We may never know the truth, especially because we're about to stop paying attention to him entirely. But whatever the case... we had good times with Jacky Mao.

And now they're over.

I will never doubt Emma again. ...I will doubt Emma again. I wonder if she's ever had giardiniera. Do you think she's Chicagoan? Or Italian? I mean she sounds American, but, I can't narrow down more than that. I do feel Midwest, because the Midwest is generally a pretty neutral accent. And maybe I shouldn't be guessing at all- Emma doesn't want to be found. And I will respect that.

OR: White Fuge Balmore

It would be a shame to waste a pretty fantastic title, so I put it there, even though the Thankful Episode doesn't get a specific title like that. Y'know, if you add a comma, it could be like... a rare spawn in Final Fantasy XI. "White Fuge, Balmore "

should i play more FFXI? on the one hand, it was kinda impenetrable. but it was also kinda sick. but i don't have much free time. but the time i DO have i mostly waste, and i could probably squeeze in some Vanadiel. hmm

Why is it that the Oreos are the ones in pieces? I thought Reese's had the pieces. Well, what can you do I suppose. You wanna know something funny? After that conversation about how neither of us really care about Hollow Knight Silksong, I was convinced (pretty easily) to give it another shot and I've turned around on it. Cool game. People losing their minds over it are still confusing to me, but the game's ok with me.

August the 13th be with you- and also with you. Y'know, we were supposed to talk about that new lil f- can I curse in here? I don't think I can, I think since this is on like iTunes and any kid could see it, I can't cuss in the description. Well the new lil GUY they added to Dota 2. And we completely forgot. And then I was gonna record a drop-in about it. And I completely forgot. And I'm remembering now but the edit is uploaded and it's almost 3am so you know? Sometimes you do a bad job. Not that we would know anything about that.

Unfortunately, I'm now wary about trying those energy drink jellies. Like. If this is how the pudding one turned out, why would I do that again voluntarily? I could try CC Lemon. Or Vita C. Or hell, just drink more brands of milk tea and go "yep this is good" every time. Honest, if they sold 12 packs of milk tea like it was soda, I'd kick my soda habit no problem. Now, is premade milk tea BETTER for you? Umm....

God, it's been so long. How does this go again? "They put out a huge patch for Dota 2 and we talked about it for over two hours." God, the last Patch Notes Special was nine months ago. But seriously: they flooded the map! They added crafting (kind of)! They redid a ton of Facets! And perhaps most importantly of all...

I cannot promise you that episode 200 is real, or ever will be. What I can tell you is, we have a plan. We're gonna go into the past. We're gonna tackle... well. For those with long memories and a long history with us (ahem, no one), let's say this... we once tried to record a certain podcast, and failed. It devolved into shouting. It was unpublishable.

We're gonna try again.

But that's ep 200, on this one I just make fun of Nick while he drinks whiskey.

The danger at this point is if I try to invent fictional Taco Bell items to deceive Nick, it'll turn out some of them are real. We've all noticed the rotating roster of Taco Bell ingredients. Beans, cheese, tortilla, beef, chips, nacho cheese, sour cream... the Invoker of the Bell has already whipped together so, so many spells. Independent invention is just a nice phrase for "wasted everyone's time."

It's like Garfield Minus Garfield! Kinda. As you'll hear in short order, I don't like or respect Geoff Keighley, or The Game Awards, a yearly video game awards and news presentation that supports some shitty causes while suppressing things like strikes, unions, etc. Rats can get f- mmmm I don't think I can write that in show notes, these get posted on like Apple and stuff. Well, you can probably guess what I think of rats. Despite all this, The Game Awards are home to a bunch of game news. What if we watched those trailers at 1.5x speed and ignored every other part of the awards?

Ranch dressing. Since time immemorial it has enchanted mankind with its smooth flow and flavor. It is divisive, just as the Mighty Mississippi divides America. "Wings are better with blue cheese," they say. "Fries are better with ketchup," they whine. And sometimes they are right. Well, the ketchup people are. Blue cheese dressing is in fact disgusting and you should feel ashamed of yourself.

Btw, you don't need to tell me the Hello Kitty thing is wrong. You can if you want. I pulled up tabs during the ep, and I left them open, and then looking at them AFTER the show, it was like "huh. No they say that's not true. Well. Ok." I don't really know what that means to be honest. I mean I guess it just means she really is a cat? I guess. Which is kinda the simpler explanation. But it's not very engaging, Sanrio.

We're allowed to talk about Deadlock now! And, fortunately, we want to. That always helps. Plus, there's a new Dota hero- that doesn't happen every day. Hell, it barely happens every year! Actually (squinting at a chart) in 2014 and 2018 we didn't get one! But otherwise, there's been at least one every year since Dota 2 came out. Maybe that'll stop soon! Maybe it SHOULD, judging by the latest release! Just spitballing here.

Now, I have some sympathy for influencers, and then I also have a lack of sympathy in some areas. Part of the blessing of Scanline not paying my bills is, I'm not beholden to audience numbers and such. Bottle Crow's existence was probably a good clue of that. Point is, I can make whatever I want, and also NOT make whatever I want (broadly). An influencer doesn't have that same freedom. The content they produce is in response to trends and demands, and while they absolutely have sway, if they just follow their whims too much odds are they'll be out of business. And so maybe a food influencer makes some recipes or videos they're not proud of. Maybe they just needed to pay the rent that day.

Or maybe they needed to pay the MORTGAGE that day because they're a lot more wealthy than me. Right? That's the thing? Onjay Efshay probably has, like... a house. That he owns. And then goes to a studio do do his little "FOOOD Wishes" lilt. So here's the thing: your recipe is dogshit and you should feel bad. And I'm coming for you. Until I get bored, which will probably happen pretty fast.

For a certain subset of our audience, I should probably apologize for the amount of Dota talk this ep. It's... uncouth. We're supposed to be post-Dota, like post-modern but cooler. Well, I am. Nick is still in denial. I just try denial on sometimes, like a nice dress you can only bust out for special occasions.

After EIGHT YEARS, the Hatcast returns! I mean honestly, with such a wealth of quality hats, how could we do otherwise. Bizarrely, impossibly, it seems like Dota is back. Leave it to me to say that not because of a good patch or new hero, but because of cosmetics. Listen, you know what I'm like. Don't pretend to be surprised.

It's just... I mean, I guess 300 is a lot. It's a big number. But even SO I am surprised Giratina made the top 300. Is just every legendary in there? Probably, huh? Even though a lot of legendaries are just trash? Like, the Weather Trio from Unova: garbage. The stupid Lake Guardians from Diamond and Pearl? St... stupid. I already said that I guess. But c'mon! I don't wanna be a stupid legendary! I wanna be something INTERESTING! What the hell does tanabata have to do with Nick?!

Honestly the rumored PSP3 is a bad idea because it'll be more like a Vita 2. And hey. The Vita was fine. I liked my Vita decently well. But the Vita's approach was to basically try to be a home to ports, mostly, and that territory is locked down by the Switch and the Steam Deck now. We don't need that! Now, the PSP had a lot of exclusives, which is to say games specifically designed for the PSP. That's interesting! But the industry doesn't work like that anymore. You just get shittier, worse running versions of the game. You get Kingdom Hearts Cloud Version. it's worthless. sony don't bother.

In these "show notes", the podcaster, attempting to "tease" elements of the podcast, or to tell some self-indulgent "jokes", offers some out of context references to the recording itself, which, itself questionably funny, only becomes more question vis a vis this separation. Perhaps they think this attempt at comedy suffices to supplement their clueless perspective on modern uses of the terms "passion" and "aroused".

I THINk what we want is Star Wars Galaxies Restoration. Cuz I think it's like, we want the Combat Update but not the New Game Experience? I think that's the story. SWG Legends is more popular but it's post NGE, and like, I guess if that's what you want that's fine. But I'm here for a world where Jedi are rare, but dancers are not. Which I guess is also the world I currently live in, Earth, the Blue Planet, Third Rock From The Sun. Hmm. Much to think about.

Is it "Azwraith" like "Azure Wraith" because he's got blue skin? Though the "wraith" part is the confusing one. He's not dead. Though apparently a wraith, definitionally, can imply a ghostlike image you see shortly BEFORE your death. So it's like, his doppelgangers are wraiths because they're gonna kill you then disappear? This is really stupid. Dota is stupid, y'all.

Sometimes, you read something and you instantly realize the author is a cishet man, yknow? Obviously I don't know that for a fact, but a third of this week's chapter of Dota High School takes place in the girl's shower room, and it isn't the worst thing in the world?

"Ehhh... captain? Puppey?" hazarded Resolut1on, approaching the Monitor's Bane hesitantly.

Team Secret's captain didn't look up from his copy of Sun Tzu's Art of Laning. "Reso. What's on your mind?"

Resolut1on shuffled his feed. "I, uh... well. I've been hearing some of the... stuff. The rumors. You have too, right? About Dota... dying?"

"What about it?" Puppey flipped a page. "Things die, Reso. All we need is to be in a position to profit from it."

"Yes, uh... yes. You're... you're exactly right, captain. But I was... I was wondering. They. They say you save strats, right? Like, when Secret loses the International... they say it's because you're saving strategies. For the, uh, Intergalactic."

A cruel smile played across Puppey's face, then faded like it was never there. "They do. They do say that. And?"

"Uh... I mean, if that were... if that were TRUE, Captain Puppey, sir... I...?"

Puppey looked up, seeming annoyed. "Out with it, Roman. What?"

Roman "Resolut1on" Fominok swallowed. "What if the Dota pro scene dies before the Intergalactic ever happens?"

Puppey snapped the book shut with a sound like a thunderclap and sprang his feet. "Shit... shit! Ah, mother- alright!" He threw his desk out of the way with one hand as he marched out of the room. "Gather everyone, it's time for a change of plans. Shit... I can't believe that didn't occur to me. Good work, Roman."

Resolut1on let out a deep breath, the tension leaving his body. At least he could say he won the Aegis this year, even if there never was another one.

Well, when we RECORDED this there wasn’t a patch yet. This week, we tackle Mercedes memes, Anti-Kings, ESL One Hamburg, another WLDL update, and more! Keeping this description on the shorter end, because I am going to go pass out, wake up, and then immediately edit more Bottle Crow (specifically the patch notes special for 7.07).

Listen, I’m gonna be honest with you. If TF2’s servers were working right when that big patch hit, that’d be what we were talking about this week. Probably? Maybe. Honestly, TF2 hasn’t changed much in the past… five years. Going back to it, it’s a game I used to love so much, but its design just doesn’t do it for me anymore. In an attempt to figure out what design DOES do it for us, we’ve got a lot for you this week. Aghs of the Week. A concept for a Frostivus holiday game mode. PGL Open Bucharest results. And, at long last, the triumphant return of Lore of the Week. Hell, it’s about time.
