"Video games have changed since the days of Pac-Man." - every newscaster before talking about gta
lmao. though hearing these buttoned up newscasters talk about GTA gameplay is always funny to hear.
Great episode as usual fellas. I miss when rockstar would make huge crowd pleasers like GTA and RDR, and then do something like a manhunt or a serious table tennis game randomly.
thank ya. yeah these were very fun to replay, might have to start doing more video game episodes
Great episode boys! Maybe my favorite. I have a request/suggestion. You should cover phone/early smartphone culture. I remember that being a huge part of my life during the 2000s
yeah we actually did read a couple books on the blackberry, just never got around to fully synthesizing an episode.
Underappreciated detail is that big smoke knows the number of every item on the menu he wants AND HOW HE WANTS TO INDIVIDUALLY CUSTOMIZE THEM!! Its so funny realizing the exact depth of this man's fast food knowledge and what his actual order entails
In 2023, the global video game industry was valued at $214.2 billion. The film industry was valued at $92.5 billion and music was valued at $28.6 billion in the same time period. Video games are worth nearly double film and music combined and, based on current trends, that lead will only increase
Hmmmm.... the numbers I got for 2011 were from the book "Jacked" about GTA. I got the numbers on the contemporary film + TV industry were from this website, which claims that film is sitting at $285 billion worldwide
www.thebusinessresearchcompany.com/report/film-and-video-market#:~:text=The%20global%20film%20and%20video,at%20a%20rate%20of%206.47%25.
Might be a bum source, but it seemed right to me that film would boomerang back with global markets and international revenues. I could also see that number being wrong too though and video games staying on top!
Thanks for your comment!
@@RememberShuffle To be fair, it's every bit as possible that my source could be wrong too. As I've done further research, I'm finding conflicting numbers. Doesn't really matter though, all of the people who make the products that bring them all these record-high numbers will be downsized to make the number look bigger next year. So it goes.
Thank you guys for all you do! Easily one of my favorite podcasts
@@mattryan1999 with video game adaptations becoming the norm in TV and cinema the lines a blurred even further.
44:43 he got to live the fantasy of every dude with a favorite movie, that's why he could get so close to the sun...
1:15:15 the two most stereotypically Catholic countries on the planet being fine with spanking is poetic beyond words
This might just be one of the few pieces of media from my childhood where I had to go to my friends place for that sweet sweet unsupervised parental discretion for access to. Do kids still do this or do they just watch youtube videos/podcasts?
same. this was a friend's house game for sure. Do they even have games kids can't play anymore? I guess GTA V?
Nothing sums up America's broken moral code more than the controversy of having a sex scene in San Andreas vs the absolute non reaction to being allowed to torture someone in V
oh yeah, very funny that THAT's the thing that got them recalled. the 12 pixel sex minigame
Based Shuffle Boys fighting off the annoying zoomer revisionists who insist that actually GTA4 was the best one and not a gritty 'streamlined' game with half the content and no fun allowed. (I still love it).
those realism stories are truly insane (the car model and ethnic data they used) and the change in the pocket. That's gotta count for something I guess. also it's NY, da greatest schitty in da wurld
GTA? More like GTGAY!!!
GTGAY: The Ballad of Straight Tony
Great topic guys! Can’t wait to listen and many thanks for another Saturday episode drop.
Thanks for listening, this one was fun to replay
OMG I played that Getaway game I wasn't able to get pass the beginning mission. So never finished it. Probably why I don't play any shooting game. 😁
Although I do mostly play JRPG and card games even in PS1. So maybe I am libelling "The Getaway"
the youtube playthrough seemed pretty lame
Push it to the limit!
I just Died in your arms tonight!

oh yeah, missed this one, clearly one of the hosts was on XBox
these codes were impossible to put in on the PS5
I wonder if your point about the benefits of having some kind of outsider quality towards being a comedian is why there are so many Indian American comedians despite how small a proportion of Americans they make up. And this despite the fact that it's a community whose parents push them to only become doctors and engineers-as I'm told over and over again by said comedians.
Same as having so many Jewish comedians in late 20th century
definitely. Yeah though I would say there are more indian comedians as well than most other ethnic groups
Shit... here we go again
the most enduring meme of the franchise for sure
@@RememberShuffle just wanting to let you guys know I've been loving your podcast. Legit listened to hours of you guys talking about LoTR when I don't even like it. Keep up the good work.
Good ep as per fellas, although I strongly disagree on GTA IV being the worst one.
I'd argue that it's the best one on atmosphere, story and just general aesthetic alone but it's in an awkward position- it clashes with the prior games, being a poe-faced crime drama about the value of revenge and mortality, trying to outrun your past and the lie of the american dream and capitalism's virtues. I'd argue it does a lot of what San Andreas does, the similar stories about people and their families in horrible conditions created by capital, corruption, etc having their hands forced, but it still has goofy elements to counter-act it. Like fucking hell they're both pretty similar. Except IV doesn't have the car DDR game. I think the main gripe comes from how thick they lay on the atmosphere.
Man I'm going fucken nowhere with this but GTA IV does a lot of the same shit as San Andreas. Without GTA SanAn & IV I don't think we'd have the Red Dead Redemption games be as good as they are.
If you're taking reccomendations: there's a small youtube channel called Middleside Topwise who do some very good analyses of the GTA games, their themes and politics. Trust me they're very good, insanely well done.
Tbf, he doesn't say the worst, just his least liked. But something they say about IV reminded me of RDR2. I don't like it as a game, but I love the world it let's you inhabit
@@serptimis1552 true that i do think i did an unfair reading on it in hindsight
Ben here, I had no idea I was stepping on such a land mine with this take haha!
GTA IV, like all GTA games, is obviously a masterpiece, I'd never dispute that! For me though, I really like the wackiness and zaniness of the GTA franchise - the shameless embracing of over-the-top excess (Jet packs, the silly GTA V heist where you're wearing the Hurt Locker Bomb defusing suit and your crew gets mini-guns, literally doing the final scarface scene but instead you get to win). I got huge respect for the story they were telling in GTA IV, and the writing in that game remains top notch, the vibe just wasn't for me. As a love letter to NY though, 10/10.
And yeah, you're 100% correct that for me it's the fact that the atmosphere is laid on SO thick. Kind of reminds me of "The Great Gatsby," a book we teach to high schoolers because it's real "cards on the table," about what it's about. Still a great game, still a massive feat of human endeavour, just different strokes for different folks!
The theme of GTA V is basically Millennials lol.
like with the GTA V fail son? this sounds interesting--could you elaborate?
So let me see if I understand this correctly... You *want* people to piss on your stickers?
No one will want to peel them off then
@@hagbardceline7118 true enough I guess, I just hope they're laminated at least
yes and I am tired of pretending like I don't
Great episode, would just like to point out though that as of halo 4 and 5, master chief actually starts to get characterization. Also if you watched the show you would know this as well.
ladies and gentlemen, I have been owned
how did they miss the NWA reference in gta san andreas characters?
yeah strangely, I recall young Malay saying in an interview that ryder was not modeled after EZ E, but I doubt that is the case given the voice, appearance, vibe
Scottish. Its particularly Scottish
oh yeah? what is particularly sottish? the games in general?
first.
