02:08.87
Tommyyyyy
Oh wow.
02:09.81
Aaron Klaassen
Played Blow Shock Infinite. I played all the DLCs. Um, One thing... that I've... do not care for with this series. is the...
02:21.76
Aaron Klaassen
the way they they I guess the way they visualize the big daddies, you know, typically in real life, a big daddy, you know, it's it's a big guy. It's a big. statuesque man.
02:33.41
Aaron Klaassen
Good looking guy. You got lots of money. Nice car. Um, maybe like a handsome wife i suppose but in this game big daddies are just they're not that It's the opposite. It's a kind of suit.
02:47.76
Aaron Klaassen
I...
02:47.100
Tommyyyyy
Yeah, yeah
02:47.81
Aaron Klaassen
Or and not even like a name. nice fancy suit but like a like a diving suit like a mechanical suit
02:53.39
Tommyyyyy
No tie.
02:54.62
Aaron Klaassen
No tie? Where's the tie?
02:55.52
Tommyyyyy
No tie. No suspenders.
02:58.55
Aaron Klaassen
There's no, yeah.
02:59.16
Tommyyyyy
metallic boots instead of nice suede shoes.
03:03.19
Aaron Klaassen
Yes, like it's it's not a big daddy. whatsoever It's more like a... Small man. I guess.
03:10.50
Tommyyyyy
Yeah, and and even this is definitely This is a ah problem They don't. is only personal to me but i'm used to um In this household, I'm called Big Daddy. So every time someone said Big Daddy, I thought it was like someone, I was like, huh, what'd you say, honey?
03:26.95
Tommyyyyy
But it wasn't it wasn't her, it was the game. And so that was... very confusing. I really wish they would call them like.
03:31.58
Aaron Klaassen
Exactly.
03:33.47
Tommyyyyy
Large father, maybe, if they were called large fathers. i that would have been much better.
03:38.77
Aaron Klaassen
yeah gargantuan male that would have been a good one because i mean i'm sure they're all male Um,
03:45.14
Tommyyyyy
little Little Big Dad.
03:47.72
Aaron Klaassen
That's good. That's good That's good. We'll have ill to get to Jonathan take two on the phone and we'll we we'll re we'll reboot the series. what We'll do it the way it should have been from the very beginning.
03:58.71

03:58.78
Aaron Klaassen
Um,
04:01.76
Aaron Klaassen
Yes. Yes. I know them very well. They were... Speaking of big daddies, they were... ah They remind my father's-in-law. I know them very well. So
04:13.34
Tommyyyyy
Really?
04:13.55
Aaron Klaassen
Of course, they got divorced. My my father... and the father's They got divorced. Yes.
04:21.54
Tommyyyyy
I'm not following, but that's... Um, unfortunate. Um, Did you? um When you played this game, how did you... I remember the water looking...
04:33.72
Tommyyyyy
uh, Like... The last time I saw water that looked like this water was... Wave Race 64. But this game didn't really have anything like Wave Race 64, so I was curious your thoughts on that.
04:46.57
Aaron Klaassen
I thought the water looked... looked Very good. Very drippy. Um. Probably the best water I've seen in a video game. since Banjo-Kazooie ah yeah No complaints from me, Tommy. The water is...
05:01.75
Aaron Klaassen
It's great.
05:02.79
Tommyyyyy
So so. I thought it would be... i wanted the like When I play video games, i want the I want the full experience. I want to be immersed in. in the experience.
05:14.39
Tommyyyyy
And so what I did was I took. a bucket of water i dumped it on myself i dumped it on the screen so that I would have the full wetness. and My screen just like.
05:26.70
Tommyyyyy
Stopped working And at first I thought it was like part of the game because I was like, oh, man, did I did the I just get knocked out or something? But no, it was. My screen was fried. And I had to.
05:37.59
Tommyyyyy
I can't afford a new one, so I just... kind of couldn't play the game any anymore.
05:42.48
Aaron Klaassen
Wait, so you didn't... You didn't beat Blow Shock?
05:45.50
Tommyyyyy
No, I didn't I didn't be close I I got as far as I could. um Um, the i got um You know we're at the with the wrench.
05:56.27
Aaron Klaassen
In all fairness, Tommy, I don't think I could i can finish this episode. um I don't want to spoil the rest of Blowshock's story for you. and you know If you haven't beaten it, I don't think we can give it a fair assessment or fair judgment. i just this is Completely unprofessional. I e i apologize, but
06:15.64
Tommyyyyy
No, that's okay. No need to apologize. um I give it five question marks because you don't get to know what it is until. Later.
06:26.89
Aaron Klaassen
