I wonder who said "Australian and New Zealand allied command" and where they got that from. It's incorrect, but it's believable. Don't blame Graham for taking their word for it on that one.

44:34 I know nothing about firearms but the saga of Bubba's Pissing Hot Hand Loads now lives in my brain rent-free

Australian and New Zealand Army Corps

I paused and looked up The Pig War, the pig may have been the inciting incident but really it was a border dispute

Alex found the squapes!

"I've definitely used apps that she's programmed." _pffft_

42:35 As a foreign, this is exactly what names sound like when Americans come up with them

DS2 is definitely the runt of the litter. A wonderful, masterful litter, but its still the runt. A lot of the mechanics, like getting more and more hollow, and all the NG+ stuff are really interesting. It just suffers from a lack of overall vision.

I imagine someone does but I hope someone mentions the ANZAC landings in Gallipoli at all in regards to ANZAC day.

I guess George _really_ liked Doom 3 with that lighting. Can't see anything outside of light cones lmao Also, the two best kinds of games to see on Garbage Day are A) games like Prayer Warriors or Battle of Angels, which are so mind-bogglingly bad and insane that just playing the game and seeing Alex & Graham's reactions is fantastic entertainment, and B) games like KSTG where Watch + Play becomes the Graham and Alex Talk About Random Stuff for a Bit and Make Each Other Laugh Mini-Podcast.

Alex’s reaction to KTSG character movement is peak Watch and Play

42:46 most of those names scan as baseball player names from like the 60s Baseball player or drag queen is another game that could be played

The bats remind me of Might & Magic VI

All the Heroes of Agora characters are ripped straight from the old console moba Paragon. I say ripped but according to Wikipedia, Epic made all the character models free to use after shutting the game down

My old house had a combination bathroom/laundry room. It worked out great for my parents and us three kids. Not too many "Hurry up, I gotta do laundry" situations. Calling it AI even though it's machine learning is the same thing as when they started calling faster 3G cellphones "4G", even though the actual 4G being worked on was supposed to be what we are now calling 5G. Under this assumption, I'm going to guess AI will be called Computed Neuro-Processor (CNP) when it comes out or something. And yes, there was a movie about someone being run over by a zamboni. I can not remember the name, though, but it definitely happened.

Does Alex know of Orcs Must Die. i feel like it would be up his alley

In my headcanon, both Goblins and Kobolds are quite clever, they're just lil guys, so they gotta be resourceful and tricksy. MTG goblins I feel are pulling from... a very particular interpretation.

I first heard of Bubba as the guy that did a bad job sporterizing old military rifles. Which is to say, he did a bad job of a bad thing. Last one I saw was an Eddystone 1917 with fiber optic sights. As for games about traps, the Deception series on the Playstation was about building traps. I didn't play the first, but the second and third ones were cool. You would set up traps so that they could send the target from one to the next. Like you could drop a jar of oil on someone's head, blow them up, and have the explosion throw them into a wall of spikes. At the time I described it as a cross between Home Alone and Saw.

KSTG guy looks like he's on his way to the mall when he attacks.

@1:00:14 that jump is giving Ghosts 'n Goblins

Not gonna lie: "I was a member of a group called Bubba's Pissin' Hot Hand-Loads, but they kicked me out for being woke." Is not a sentence I thought I would hear today, but I should've known better. Because, you know... Alex. 🤣

The thing about the divine company, the POV character, is kind of a dumb tool, that faints a LOT.

52:28 "Their website says they're from Wisconsin" So, after the russians invaded in 2022 I started boycotting everything russian and let me tell you it's a minefield. One has to do a lot of research into where the individual devs are from, where they went to school etc, because companies can be from wherever. Cyprus is a common place for them to end up, but I've also ran into russians operating out of Czechia and Sweden.
