LoadingReadyRun: lrrPAUL Y'all ready for this? *jock jams begin playing*
LoadingReadyRun: (by "this" I mean Chillpoint)
Snowcookies: Hello gaming news enjoyers and haters
RockPusher: !search for treasure
LRRbot: You find: a Potion of Defense!
RockPusher sips the potion of defense
mtvcdm: I'm definitely ready, fish fry in front of me and everything
RockPusher: mmmm, tastes like apple
Snowcookies: that potion only lasts 5 minutes
mtvcdm: 3-piece baked cod from Piggly Wiggly, though one of the pieces kinda exploded as it went into the tray so they gave me a fourth
GapFiller: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: ChillPoint (Paul, Beej and Heather chat about Video Games and Video Game related news!) at Fri 02:00 PM PDT (0s ago).
RockPusher: does it defend against rain, cause that would be useful right now
RockPusher: seabatClap
mtvcdm: Fish don't defend against rain, fish live in rain
TheAinMAP: lrrHORN
mtvcdm: What is an ocean but a massive rain dumpster
Juliamon: it has been raining gaming news this week
RockPusher: Is this moist?
mtvcdm: @Juliamon And some of it isn't even about layoffs!
RockPusher caved and bought a few things in the summer sale
RockPusher acquired Balatro
RockPusher was never seen again
mtvcdm: Oh yeah, I usually give myself like 20 bucks or so and tell myself to do whatever I shall to my wishlist
RockPusher: lrrDOTS lrrSIG lrrARROW
TheAinMAP: lrrSIG lrrSIG lrrSIG
Snowcookies: it's live!
RubikDarkwill: lrrSIG lrrSIG lrrSIG

mtvcdm: This time my summer sale was Cosmic Wheel Sister, You Suck At Parking and What The Car?
mtvcdm: *sisterhood
TheMerricat: Chat, double checking since I've rebooted for a Windows update since Adam's stream, is there audio?
Juliamon: I hear none
TheMerricat: Thank you!
mtvcdm: The secret podcast is sitting quietly at the wall
RockPusher: there it is
TheMerricat: And OMG the whole Subnatia thing went nuclear after Checkpoint released. Anyone see the AI slop the ex-Subnautica people were pumping out to hype their 'upcoming movie' that they were supposedly too busy making to work on Subnautica 2? :D
Juliamon: As I rightly pointed out in a comment asking why they didn't cover the Krafton/Subnautica story this week, there was NO WAY Checkpoint would have been up-to-date if they'd tried
Juliamon: It's evolving SO rapidly
GapFiller: the perils of rolling current affairs eh
RockPusher: Ah yes, the key to comedy news - timeliness…
Juliamon: it's like the industry heard us griping about everything being depressing and said "hold my beer"
TheAinMAP: lrrDOTS lrrCIRCLE lrrARROW
TheAinMAP: mattlrPika
mtvcdm: Checkpoint SummoningSalt video
RockPusher: Editing‽ fugiWow
TheMerricat: !!!! mattlrWoof mattlrWoof
TheAinMAP: Hello lrrHEATHER lrrPAUL lrrBEEEJ
GapFiller: do good but not perfect as the saying goes
OldUncleDan: You mean like the movie?
mtvcdm: TAS
Juliamon: I also notice Heather wasn't mentioned in the going-live toot. Secret invisible Heather
Snowcookies: Someone in the comments already called you out on no Sonic's 30th anniversary
TheMerricat: Look as long as I don't have to sit through another hour long Youtube video explaining exactly how unlike it was that they rolled BOTH a Kathleen AND a Beej that episode.
RockPusher: A robot that can solve Checkpoint so fast that Checkpoint explodes?
Earthenone: wasent that adams show with james?
Earthenone: :P
GapFiller: that seems like a v Adam stream tbf
GapFiller: nalvThink who other than Adam wd be game for that concept
mtvcdm: You need to be pointing at the game with YouTube face with a giant "NO" and that's the thumbnail
RockPusher: and starring… Heather!
TheMerricat: BeejDrop and you are Beej.
TheMerricat: Speedrun to being derailment - Heather and Beej _ARE_ the masters. :D
RockPusher: We talk about video game news?
TehAmelie: Checkpoint: now with things
GapFiller: 100% run not Fastest run
mtvcdm: 108% run
GapFiller: didnt Beej literally say that in the episode
KaleidoscopeMind: some of them are 4 hours long
KaleidoscopeMind: (but those are like 60+ hour games)
TehAmelie: since it's always new stories, every week is a new world record
Juliamon: They did have Blue Prince. It was very fast.
mtvcdm: Has anyone ever actually completed Blue Prince?
GapFiller: the real jlrrBaby move ofc is speedrunning getting a coffee as demonstrated by Ian in that one Crapshot
Juliamon: Yes, they are free
GapFiller: yuup
RockPusher: I have concluded my Blue Prince play at 276 hours
Juliamon: The back-and-forth was SO irritating
GapFiller: tbf Ben is kind of a story guy
GapFiller: Adam ofc def isnt a story guy tho
TehAmelie: one day we can look back and get a chronological overview of Sonic's 30th birthday
RockPusher: Yup - in game commentaries are great
RockPusher: I desperately hope Blue Prince gets one
TehAmelie: i never even finished Portal with the commentary
MungoDude: commentary worked well for Portal 1 because the whole game takes less than an hour once you know the solutions to all the puzzles
mtvcdm: There are some games where ambient sound matters for gameplay purposes, but that definitely isn't one of them
GapFiller: Fuck Vinyl
Snowcookies: walkmans still suck constructionwise
GapFiller: phun phact in addition to its many other problems vinyl has a carbon footprint comparable to NFT's
mtvcdm: If you haven't played it yet, don't worry they'll sell it to you again in about two, three years

Invitare: "We have been in negotiation with the owners of megama-wait what do you mean that's us?"
mtvcdm: The Mega Man questions are all being answered by my shirt
GapFiller: Beej is a master of psychic damage but we all knew that already
RockPusher: GapFiller Experience Beej!
mtvcdm: LRRBot, what should they do with Mega Man?
mtvcdm: !crossover
LRRbot: This is probably already a skin in Fortnite isn't it.
TheMerricat: Chat, imagine a first person megaman......
GapFiller: besides everyone knows the reboot theyre REALLY sleeping on is Tron Bonne lrrBEEJ
accountmadeforants: They could probably release Megaman Maker and be set for the next 10 years. Maybe with occasional DLC to add new mechanics if they want to milk it.
TheMerricat: Imagine a Megaman MMO, where Megaman is an NPC and you are all playing random boss bots.
accountmadeforants: It very much is not official
accountmadeforants: But it's also very good
mtvcdm: Mega Man HAD a kart racer, Mega Man Battle & Chase
DoodlestheGreat: Did they have a Cheese Man?
mtvcdm: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/elPYkYACtWo/sddefault.jpg There's also the 'random word X living thing' combo of the X series
mtvcdm: Here's the thing about reselling old games: my Steam library has quite a number of collections of older games. Once it's in there I'm not going to get a *second* collection with that game in it if I can help it. I've already got it.
TehAmelie: i know, they could make a series of games where the bosses are all variations on one element. Combustion Man, Incandescence Man, Fulminate Man, Burning Man, etc
Invitare: turns out smart budgeting is more successful than just going big
GapFiller: 40 odd years after ET and the Great Video Game Crash it seems at a certain lvl bewildering people are still making a mistake this basic but on second thought well obv people keep doing this given to the kinda suits for whom the payout is the only thing that matters this shit is basic common sense
Barb4rian: Just to clarify (your point still stands) BF6 has spent $400m in development to date and EA wants 100m players -- Both absurd numbers
Terminal423: Beej is basically describing MegaMan Legends
GapFiller: Battle Network was a Tactical RPG series
Terminal423: But with levels instead of open worldish
Laserbeaks_Fury: I liked X a little more
Barb4rian: Yeah whatever, both numbers are huge and outrageous in either order lol
TheMerricat: I sympathize with the Stop Killing Games movement, but I have a very very hard time believing that this is going to result in anything.
mtvcdm: Games would stop dying if they just pounded some raw water
Barb4rian: LUL
mtvcdm: But yeah... the industry is clearly looking at Stop Killing Games and simply saying '
mtvcdm: no'
Invitare: the European Commission is part of the EU
MrSVCD: I had to use my digital government id to sign the petition.
Laserbeaks_Fury: "If we're on the hook to maintain a game service, we'll have to stop making them." GOOD
Angreed66: Beej is right. The movement is rooted in a preconcieved notion that what it means to be a game is that it's "permanant"
TehAmelie: chocolate board games, at least you know where the missing pieces have gone
TheMerricat: @Laserbeaks_Fury And it's interesting they never say "but we could let you make your own servers"
Wolfstrike_NL: John Nintendo is knocking on the door, asking for Beej Nintendo shirt back
GapFiller: Laserbeaks_Fury TheMerricat letting yr customers make their own servers is giving them an unacceptable amount of agency
TheMerricat: I don't want game companies to be forced to keep servers running. I _do_ want them to be blocked from keeping others from replacing their servers with their own.
lamina5432: it's a bit of a tight rope that I hope goes well
Laserbeaks_Fury: Why sell the cow when you can sell milk subscriptions forever
RockPusher: Which is the point, if there is a server component and you want to stop running that server you need to provide the means for the community to take on that role
GapFiller: TheMerricat case in point said servers wd not be in the hands of the important people ie the companies who own the games
TheMerricat: Reminder to chat - if you want to play Supreme Commander - there is a community that runs a matchmaking server - https://www.faforever.com/
accountmadeforants: Odds are they already built those ways around it just to develop and test the game effectively. (Like, sure there will be companies who started with an dev AWS/Azure setup and just scaled that up, but most of them will have figured out how to make the game work off of the internet)
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat FA Forever is such a fantastic project
Angreed66: Younger audiences don't need to be told that though
Juliamon: If you don't want people to complain about services being shut down, don't force them to use the services to begin with. That's just forced obsolesence.
TheMerricat: @Juliamon Ah but that's their secret, they _don't CARE_ if you complain. Cause you'll buy the next game anyway.
TheMerricat: If software can't be owned, you can't steal it. :P
RockPusher: Also, what can be done about this in the context of existing regulatory environment
Juliamon: It's not 'adding work' if you don't have code needing to be negated to begin with.
RockPusher: Not "solutionaring" during the "requirements phase"
TheMerricat: @Juliamon We don't even have to go that far. Just say that once you shuter a game you no longer can claim people developing their own replacement servers are infringing.
LordZarano: 'If you are French and owned a copy of the game "The Crew" in any capacity, please consider following our guide for submitting information that may be sent to the UFC-Que Choisir later.' -from the Stop Killing Games website
GapFiller: we already see stuff like this in China eg
mtvcdm: Offer Void In Nebraska
accountmadeforants: The Netherlands also has a bunch of those mobile games blocked here, because they somehow assume our laws are the same as Belgium's, I guess? (Like, we have gambling laws that *could* touch on games, but they're unfortunately nowhere near that strict.)
GapFiller: given the choice of complying w/ laws or not many companies will simply shoose to not and pull out of China
RubikDarkwill: Helldivers 2 has a Japan specific version because of in-game currency laws there
accountmadeforants: Or more realistically: "This thing sold really well 4 years ago, so that's all we're making this year."

TehAmelie: i think of when Warcraft 2 didn't have online multiplayer. fans hacked together a simulated LAN thing to get around it that Blizzard then used to make battle .net. really the opposite of what's happening now.
GapFiller: jlrrFacepalm
TheMerricat: Let's be real, pretending that the 'worse case' scenario for the video game companies actually _could_ happen. They absolutely would not abandon the EU. They are too greedy. They

Terminal423: I do agree with Heather's sentiment. We also largely had a solution for the problems of servers going away by....hosting them ourselves when a lot of major games allowed us to host dedicated servers
mtvcdm: It's just gonna be a prelude to layoffs
Joecool190: oh hey hbo
mtvcdm: When your thing doesn't make money, buy a thing, shove all your debt onto it and walk away and do it all again. Infinite money glitch!
TheMerricat: @mtvcdm A prelude to layoffs then everything going to a monthly $19.99 subscription to be allowed on their network.
Wolfstrike_NL: Rich people losing money, o nooo lrrLUL
accountmadeforants: Oh yeah, for the inverse, they could have a loophole where every game is just part of a subscription model so you can never have the "misunderstanding" that you owned the thing.
accountmadeforants subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 85 months, currently on a 85 month streak!
accountmadeforants: 85 Dollar Animal Crossing Crocs!
LRRbot: lrrSPOT Thanks for subscribing, accountmadeforants! (Today's storm count: 17)
Snowcookies: Cross-promotion items are always MORE expensive than normal products
TehAmelie: i thought high quality crocs were about $50 at most
Juliamon: ngl I would just buy the charms
TheMerricat: Chat I only know Crocs as a meme, are they actually just branded clogs? What is special about them other than the name?
Juliamon: TheMerricat It's a brand name
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat Branded foam clogs, yes
GapFiller: TheMerricat theyre literally just shoes
Juliamon: like how Uggs doesn't have a monopoly on ugly fur-trimmed boots
gualdhar: If saying it three times doesn't make it funny, then fourth definitely will
GapFiller: ohhh having to listen to a comedian test their material
GapFiller: yr wdnt wish that on anyone
mtvcdm: fuffy push
TehAmelie: a soundproofed booth for testing jokes, that's the dream
RockPusher: Pillowst2
GapFiller: noted plush object the PS2
Snowcookies: it's not as comfy as a pillow sadly
ContingentCat: why didn't they consider plushie possibilities designing it
Barb4rian: PS5 shape has always bugged me lol
mtvcdm: I can't find a PS5 pillow, but I have a PS5 *controller* pillow https://www.ebay.com/itm/115664835232
TehAmelie: i want to pronounce it ex-dollar
GapFiller: thats a recipe for success right there
LordZarano: Doesn't xsolla do payment processing for Twitch?
Juliamon: Twitch dumped them iirc
gualdhar: God these programs are so fucking skeevy
gualdhar: Take them and payday loans and throw them into the sea
GapFiller: nalvThink it feels cheering w/ bits extends from this same principle somehow
Foxmar320: I miss lay-a-way
TheMerricat: That's layaway
Angreed66: Loans only make sense for mandatory expensive item/services not luxury goods
AFamiliarCalledEl: I think the name rain check comes from baseball? Or sports generally - like the game got cancelled because of rain, so they give you a ticket to go to a different game in the future
OldUncleDan: Rain Checks were usually done along with limited time deals.
TheMerricat: Apparently some companies still do rain checks at least as of two years ago but it's not common at all anymore.
TheMerricat: @AFamiliarCalledEl Yep: "The term "rain check" originated in the late 19th century from American baseball games. When a game was postponed due to rain, spectators holding tickets were given a "rain check," which allowed them to attend a future game. This practice extended to other situations, meaning a deferred acceptance of an offer or invitation, or a coupon to purchase a sale item later. "
malfunct: would be interesting to know how retail has changed in the 25 years since I last worked a retail job
malfunct: I remember filling out rain checks a couple times a month as we ran out of sale items in our store
TheMerricat: Oh, I just looked it up. Rain checks are something that are legally mandated: "In the retail world, rainchecks are issued when an item on sale is sold out. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued the “Availability Rule” in 1989 that required grocery stores to have reasonable supplies of sales items. The rule is designed to prevent “bait and switch” sales that lure you into the store with a low sale price and then try to force you to buy a more expensive option. "
lamina5432: metrics?
Ms_LadyMix: Worked at London Drugs, can confirm there's no commission but there are bonuses
malfunct: no comission just means you are fighting to stay employed rather than fighting for bonus pay it seems
aerolend: If nobody makes commission, the CEO gets an extrea yacht.
Earthenone: remember when people were shocked about horse armor? now you can go into debt for it easier!
mtvcdm: Show me the measurables and I'll show you the work output
malfunct: @mtvcdm and systems will optimize for the metrics that are measured
mtvcdm: CMN?
mtvcdm: Children's Miracle Network, since the day I started there
Earthenone: come in with 15 games, leave with 20$
malfunct: @Earthenone or having spent $50 and leave with a new game that you probably won't actually like ;)
aerolend: kiriBlank
mtvcdm: Current high bid $249,900.
malfunct: Gamestop proving that they really can stop the game
TheAinMAP: sergeHolyMoly
mtvcdm: I've rarely seen an eBay war this heated
mtvcdm: That is over 320 bids from 94 different bidders
mtvcdm: I SURE DO
ShaneLeeAtk: Oh no... Golden Palace
mtvcdm: They advertised at sporting events so much. They had people run naked through golf tournaments.
GapFiller: mtvcdm AND the Superbowl
mtvcdm: I remember someone managed to burst onto the lectern at the 2006 Olympic closing ceremony to mention how much they made at... some site, might not have been Golden Palace, before they were QUICKLY dragged off
malfunct: the good old days of ebay when a toothpick could be sold for $100
mtvcdm: Oh yeah, the lucky one person always ends up selling it to some celebrity
mtvcdm: It's a charity auction. You can sell much dumber things when it's a charity auction.
malfunct: aren't you almost a rich jackass by definition if you can afford to dump $250k on a stapler?
mtvcdm: Desert Bus sold a packet of silica gel for $10,000
aerolend: They all go into the Oldest House vault.
Earthenone: desertbus baffles me the same way. people spending vastly more money than i can conceive of on random tat. but its for fun and for charity
aerolend: If that stapler was red they could have marketed it to fans of Office Space.
malfunct: I don't know people who would think it makes sense, but I know people who could make the purchase if they somehow convinced themselves it made sense
aerolend: *cross-marketed
malfunct: and things start to get odd when people have more money
mtvcdm: There's a game-used baton from the 1996 Olympics that's also on the site for $149 and that's a bit rich for my blood even if I think it's really cool
RockPusher: Breaking News: Beej can't conceive of amounts of money lrrBEEJ
malfunct: I guess the good news is the people buying the item can't relate to us either :)
Angnor33: @mtvcdm Yeah, but you can always use silica gel. That's just a solid investment.
GapFiller: RockPusher tbf amounts of money beyond a certain point do become hard to concerive
aerolend: @GapFiller And at some point they become somewhat harder to launder.
Barb4rian: $200k ?!?!
aerolend: Or maybe easier.
malfunct: I'm sure that an OLED switch 2 will come out in a couple years to entice everyone to buy their second switch 2
lamina5432: the switch 2 that bricks for using a different charger
LordZarano: The Steamdeck dock has a cable to plug into the top of it, so maybe like that
mtvcdm: Make a megaman game?
malfunct: @LordZarano this is a fact that annoys me even though I understand reasons the decision may have been made
Angreed66: no longer stable
KaleidoscopeMind: (for now)
aerolend: The talk is not cancelled, all of the slots are just filled by the developers now, for them to learn how to fix it.
Angreed66: I assume there is a regular volume of threats directed at large games. It's more a matter of how much that increases.
Earthenone: tip 1, dont leave for a talk and ;et the intrns push an update? :P
mtvcdm: They're not threats
Earthenone: heather just makes promises
Foxmar320: I was expecting Destiny lol
Laserbeaks_Fury: Evergreen segue
aerolend: I only know people like 7.
Juliamon: It's a "cult hit" but not popular
SquareDotCube: people *love* 9, now...
aerolend: But I don't really know FF.
KaleidoscopeMind: there was a delay
JessieImproved: I loved 9
RubikDarkwill: The people that like 8 didn't like 9
MungoDude: I heard people didn't like 9 because it came out for ps1 when the ps2 was new
GapFiller: RubikDarkwill case in point my reasons for disliking 9 tie into my preference for 8
Blip2004: Hey I really like 8 and find 9 to be perfectly fine, unlike 15
Earthenone: 9 is in my top 3 FF's
GapFiller: Earthenone heh 9 is in my botton 3 phunnily enough
aerolend: 25th anniversary sale. Relive nostalgia by buying the same game again without any changes for its original price of $80.
malfunct: limited edition wallpaper, they only have so many electrons that can be dedicated to the task
GapFiller: !yay#
GapFiller: !yay
LRRbot: Yaaaaaaay...
Earthenone: i wonder if this fan art will be shown to italian parlimant
Joecool190: wow.....
mtvcdm: Does the winner... win, anything
aerolend: The winners of the contest are going to comprise the team assigned to remaking the game.
GapFiller: oooh vinyl tiling that be hilarious
Blip2004: They release the music on vinyls all the time. I missed getting the original printing
mtvcdm: please give us your work for free
GapFiller: ^
GapFiller: mtvcdm it feels Square can do better than the Vision On approach to submitted content
GapFiller: lrrLUL
Blip2004: lol who thought putting the village where the black mage factory is hidden would be a good uplifting image
Barb4rian: lol, legendary
lamina5432: is it a remaster or a remake?
Earthenone: to be fair, dominos pizza is where i got the demo disk for ff8, so it tracks
JessieImproved: i think for 9 a remaster would be appropriate, not a remake
aerolend: @Earthenone In the pizza box?
Earthenone: my bad, it was pizza hut, but it was a demo disc with cool ps1 games on it including tony hawk pro scater and ape escape too
Wolfstrike_NL: Gonna call it now, Beej forgetting Paul's cheese platter on his way back.
mtvcdm: no
aerolend: WW4
Blip2004: where are your kernel level DMCA gods now?
aerolend: Sounds like what someone would actually do in a war.
TheMerricat: Means you can just cause the victims computer run whatever you want.
ArcOfTheConclave: arbitrary code execution at the kernal level?
malfunct: I love the internet but boy does everyone being connected to everyone make life more difficult in a number of ways
aerolend: @malfunct Pros and cons to everything.
Blip2004: probably not, I was just making fun of how anticheats often have kernel access and if a hacker got into that it would be bad (has been predicted for a while)
Juliamon: Speaking of big deals... we should probably address the elephant seal in the room
aerolend: @Juliamon CaitThinking

TheMerricat: Movies.
TheMerricat: All three of them
malfunct: a game has to be pretty darned bad to not be ready for early access, I've seen some real poor examples release
SquareDotCube: What we have learned historically is that potential bonuses and video games do not mix
filthwizard_1985: Watch and Play is a documentary of poor games released for early access
TheMerricat: @malfunct You need to remember Krafton got Unknown Worlds AFTER Subnautica came out. So they may not have the same level of tolerance for the length of Early Access that Natural Selection or Subnautica went through. Both took YEARS to leave EA.
Wicker_Guide: Even Release version has a lot of strange stuff that only makes sense when you remember it was originally a mod
SquareDotCube: Again, the bonus thing reminds me of how Obsidian got denied a bonus because the overall rating for FNV didn't get at or above a 9 out of 10
TheMerricat: @SquareDotCube You might want to read this -https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoBestFriendsPlay/comments/dorxsg/its_time_to_stop_pat_bethesda_did_not_fuck_over/
malfunct: and then there are games that are full release that are worse than many early access games
mtvcdm: Discovery is when the FUN stuff comes out
Laserbeaks_Fury: Discovery reading like patch notes
Wicker_Guide: Spoiler: Krafton has no idea what to do with PUBG
TheMerricat: @Wicker_Guide Rather, they don't know what to do with the western side of it. They've made bank on the asian side of it.
mtvcdm: !addquote (Beej) [now] That's not how grown-ups release video games.
LRRbot: New quote #9343: "That's not how grown-ups release video games." —Beej [2025-07-11]
Wolfstrike_NL: The comment section of the trailer is rumored to be great
accountmadeforants: I'm not sure Krafton themselves have released a good video game developed entirely under their control, rather than just buying an already successful studio. Kill the Crows, I guess? Most of their history is "Successful company made X, Y and Z, Krafton acquired them in Twenty-Exty-Ex"
accountmadeforants: I just want another Natural Selection.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Astroneer is good and not spoops
LordZarano: ^
TheMerricat: Just get into No Man's Sky. I hear they actually made the oceans be oceans now instead of puddles.
Wicker_Guide: I mean, J & K was still melodramatic as heck
Snowcookies: Maybe they only know how to make sad games now Kappa
Blip2004: a Jak remaster would be great to have
Wicker_Guide: err, J & D
lamina5432: this last let's nope games writing left a lot to be desired
TheMerricat: "Intergalactic stars our newest protagonist, Jordan A. Mun, a dangerous bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago. In fact, anyone who’s flown to it hoping to unravel its mysterious past was never heard from again. Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit."
SquareDotCube: also you fly around in a Porsche
Wicker_Guide: Porsche-branded spaceship
ByMatthewPorter: does it have the Beastie Boys track?
Wicker_Guide: Making the video game of the TV show of the video game probably
CastorDanton: i think there was also sony and adidas branding it was weird
Laserbeaks_Fury: Stanley Twobricks
aerolend: Stanley 2bricks 2025: A Space Odyssey
