Welcome to the Bay Area. You've been to the Bay though, right?
Yeah, yeah. It's cool here. Good weather. You got good air. It's nice.
You've come during a good week. Yeah. This is a week of really good weather in the Bay Area. It feels like summer. Yeah, which it doesn't always feel like summer here. In fact, most of the time it does not feel like summer. There's always a weird chill. I've heard New York is also very nice currently.
Yeah, it just got warm. We just had like two feet of snow. Yeah. And it's finally all melted. So now it's like everything's coming back. Everybody's going outside.
I was going to say, like, two weeks ago, I remember seeing a video of Zoran and Donnie being like, yo, grab a shovel. Like, we're about to shovel the snow.
It was crazy. I had, like, pipes freezing in my house. Like, we had, like, negative weather. Like, it was nuts. But we're here. We survived. And now I'm in sunny Bay Area, California. Exactly. Pretty good. What games have you been playing? Oh, man. Toxic Commando, I just finished up. The Before You Buy should be going live tomorrow. What time is it in? Uh, it's 10 in one. It's Margo's up now. Officially. Uh, it's pretty good. I like it. Uh, it is the elevator pitch is, uh, it's a, it's based on like the vibe of John Carpenter movies. It's not based on a movie specifically, but it's a, it's a left for dead. Like, with all the Saber interactive stuff they've done in their previous games that kind of all come together.
So Left 4 Dead on a big open map where you drive trucks, and then you deal with mud runner physics. So you can drive your truck through the mud and use a winch to pull yourself out, but you're dealing with hordes of zombies at the same time.
Interesting.
And you're doing the objectives and the Left 4 Dead type thing, that type of progression, but then you're also dealing with... all this crazy shit like the budget it feels like an expensive game um the the characters are awful cringeworthy but the presentation the music the sound design the explosions the amount of like blood on screen thousands of zombies on screen like they have that world war z tech where they're all like running up and like filling up the walls and stuff um and then it also has all the kind of saber progression stuff you've seen in like world war z or space marine 2
