What is the opening banter and technical glitch the hosts deal with?
Hello and welcome to Kor, the video game podcast designed It's as good as I got today, guys. It's as good as you're gonna get. Uh it's me, Scott Johnson, it's Bo Schwartz, it's John Jagger. Hello gentlemen, how's everybody doing today?
Oh, pretty good. Yeah. Feeling good. Got a great old sleep. My sleep's been
what whoa
what
I just realized you're in the wrong position. There we go. Fix
ya. Yeah, people have been upset. Ever since I turned off my camera it swapped and people treated it like What? I can't I don't under what's
going on with Bo? Yeah, fixed it. Oh what is going on?
He descends and turns into a uh blueberry. I thought that was a gift Bo made.
That was really weird. Sorry everybody.
How does that happen? I don't organically
I don't even know. It's happened one other time. I don't remember even the show it happened on and I couldn't figure it out then and I don't know. We
need
to gif that now, stat. Yeah, clip it. Flip it, ship it. Uh I hope you're all doing good. It's another week.
How do the hosts transition from the Windrose pirate‑game hype to the visual‑grid questionnaire?
Another week of gaming, uh news, other stuff. We're gonna talk all about it today. Before we get into it though, I gotta say, I don't know what's going on, but when I fire up TikTok, YouTube, anything else I'm on, social media wise, I am bombarded with videos, countless videos about Windrose, this this pirate survival business.
Windrose eleven or Windrose ten?
Ah, I see where you where where you went there.
Windrose two thousand.
Windrose Millennium Edition. Um It is uh this pirate thing that is getting crazy good reviews so far. Uh it's in early access, but already the reviews are in the high eighties or uh low nineties. Um I'm hearing a lot of talking head streamer types going, Oh man, they They finally made the pirate game we've all been waiting for. There's some value. Finally we
got quadruple A pirate games.
Yeah, quadruple A fire pirate games from the company for not from the company who said they were going to bring it to us. Uh this must be a real problem for them now that they're seeing this if it's succeeding. But I
can tell you more about it next week. Okay. I'm very curious because your Valheim Tom I'm uh whoops, I was supposed to be on that the whole time. I'm a survival crafting enjoyer. Um I don't like them all. I'm not just a play every game in the genre, but I like good ones, so I got curious.
style, quality of life play, and then a bunch of stuff from Your your favorite game, Balheim, what if those were a pirate game? That's what I've been hearing.
And published by PocketPair, the PAL World of people. Oh. Not made by them, but uh Well that's cool.
Because this originally was supposed to be some kind of open world multiplayer as a service thing. They changed their minds like two months after announcing it and said, No, we're going back to this being a premium game that you can play with your friends, but it's you can play it by yourself. And I'm really happy to hear that too. But then also that it's really good. So Bo you'll have to circle back.
Yeah, I'm uh I'm uh I'm liking it and you know, I I the thing I like about these games is you can play them they're like micro MMOs, right? So like you set up a server. You get you and your buddies in there and you know. You can build buildings and stuff. You get like all those fully fleshed features without having to worry about a random asset ruining, you know, trolling and shit, right? Since your front group. Sure. It's just your friends who will troll you, which is, you know, funny and fine.
Sure. I wonder if it'll be like um Doesn't uh V Rising, don't they do uh uh servers that they control but also you can do your own. How does
it Yeah, there are pu there are public servers. 'Cause there's a whole PvP element to that game. Like that game was constructed with like teams of vampires facing off against each other to battle. So they have like hosted servers where you could be a part of that. But Completely optional and And honestly not. I don't know. Just again, the stuff like that, uh it's like you have to have a taste for it. Like if you spent a month building up your castle, collecting resources only for some asset to like
