Same, my dads dead
Cool
Rocco can my job hire you? My coworkers just said "the human eye can't see past 15 fps" 😤
@@CharlieALeigh Sorry for your loss
Ayo these guys break the PS5? That could have fed my cat for a week
That's a hungry cat
My youth pastor will LOVE this
They could have fed the African cats for 500 years!
Your cat eats PS5s?
Rocco looks like he is clean, godly, and smelling good this week - my youth pastor would love it

Thank you I appreciate the time codes so much
Waiting for the Zach Snyder cut of the podcast that has everyone say the F-bomb in the first 5 minutes of the show.
And I agree with Derrick about this whole "pulling the rug from under you" on Spiderman. It reminded me of Halo ODST. Everyone thought it looked so cool and it had fun city hubworld with some exploring but the game was over in like 2 hours. It just reminded me of going to game stores to trade it in and looking slightly to the left and the wall is COVERED in ODST cases! It was like the most traded in game of the 360/ps3 generation.
Edit out all the facial hairs too. Stoked.
Shawn should do the christmas cast while he’s asleep and put that midnight snacking talent to good use
this is subtly hilarious
I feel like the instant they put out a CGI trailer for Cyberpunk back in 2012, they put a timer above their heads as far as people's expectations for when it should come out. I still have no clue why they announced that game so early without even having a prototype.
all that abusive labor forced on devs for this cursed tower of babel that all the Real Gamers(tm) put their hopes and dreams in, and it turned out like it did. in a just world it would honestly be illegal to sell a game bigger then 1 GB in download from an ununionized team.
@@take5transfat Every job has its rough times. Game developers have it pretty god damn good. They sit in a cushy office all day with catered food, air conditioning etc. For every game dev whining about 60 hour weeks, theres ten construction workers in the freezing cold and rain for the 10th hour today.
@@sunburst8810 ur comparison doesn’t work. it rlly don’t. nobody should be working 10 hours a day, and nobody should be working 60 hours a week, no matter what shitty cafeteria food they get or not. maybe consider that both of these kind of workers are both working class and have a common interest and enemy in mind?
@beep If a worker wants to work overtime to crunch since even in America any work day exceeds 40 hours a week is legally considered overtime, esp in Europe, then that should be up to them. I get the idea of compelled work, but I also get that individuals also tend to have varying views on how much time they want to invest in a project and that shouldn't be barred either. You could argue this leads to misuse, but I would also argue the effect of forcing a worker to not be able to work on something they're passionate about for overpay is also intruding on their individual rights to choose where to spend their labor. A balance of leaving it up to the worker but alleviating pressure is preferrable IMO.
Looking at your sub box, you're obviously radleft, so let me be the one to tell you that not all workers consider project leaders and bosses to be "their enemy", they consider perhaps conditions to be bad and, newsflash, so does a lot of bosses who knows that the best and most productive atmosphere for the best product is a comfortable environment. However conditions are often out of the hands of anyone to control, in this instance as OP pointed out, the hype train caused by a foolish release of a CG trailer years ago. The work culture at least where I live is actually quite unionized but I still have crunch time, like you would with any job no matter how unionized. The unions work together with the bosses in a cooperative atmosphere rather than a strictly antagonistic one which doesn't lead anywhere unless it's strictly necessary. Most disputes are solved amicably as partners, not "enemies" of the "working class".
@@LetsGoGetThem literally no worker wants to do crunch time. just fucking read any expose on the conditions at cdpr, the devs will tell u that straight up. esp if all it does is end up with a game like this at this state.
also, maybe those unions should realize their power as the group of those who really run the economy and keep everyone alive. they are quite lucky to not be absolutely mostly gutted of existence like the US for sure
I haven't seen Derek without his beard in so long
Baby faaaaace!
Peanut butter jelly time was still popular last time I saw Derrick without a beard.
RIP Shawn there was one too many birthdays this year and it took him out
that shawn montage is making me cry. i seriously can't believe he's gone.........
Whoever disliked is in big trouble..hope it was worth it
The Shawn Tribute video in the middle had me cracking up. You'd think the man just died.
Happy at how positive and understanding the boys are for Cyberpunk. Honest, critical, but posi vibes!
I’m watching some of the old Joker updates so im probably gonna come back to this later but I just wanted to say that Mega64 is awesome.
What's the joker scoup?
thank u xxxtentacion, we are glad to have u as a fan
The Shawntage made me cry. I'll always miss him. (Johnny, you need to make sure that's played at his eventual funeral)
The saddest part about the tribute to Shawn is that he'll never see it...
43:24 Derrick doesn’t know they killed off Desmond eight years ago lol
“We need to go back to the dec 21 2012 end of the world story”
Derrick isn't vulgar enough
i love how rocco is trying not to say real quick "lemme just say real qu... real fast.."
Can’t believe Shawn isn’t here to say shoot.
I started to feel sad during the montage but then I realized he's not dead
frick
I'm glad hes gone now because that means my youth pastor would like this episode
You guys had a longer tribute for Shawn missing one day than you did for when Rocco died.
I think Derrick brings a much needed element to the Mega64 podcast. But don't take my word for it, here are some reviews:
"Oh my God! I can't believe I heard that!" - Garrett Hunter
"What made you such a bad person?" - Shawn Chatfield
5/5 stars, my favourite podcast member. I'll watch the podcast twice just to make up for that dude who got offended.
I still miss when the theme song was "Lonely Horseman" by The Aquabats
Mega64? More like poopoo64.
My youth pastor would love this.
Prefer this mega64 over joe rogan any day of the week. Love you and stay safe.
Damn Rocco is rockin a real cyber look this ep
pretty sure the modern day version of AC is just Watch Dogs
The play date for Cyberpunk is whenever the Definitive Edition with all the DLC is $20.
It ain’t a Christmas Cast without Bryan “Six-Subs” Chacra, my favorite Abou Chacra!
The whole discussion about Cyberpunk just reminds me of why I’m happy for the burgeoning indie game scene. The best gaming experiences I’ve had in the past year have all been from small teams and have been so gameplay-focused. No state-of-the-art graphics, no celebrity voice actors, no season passes, just novel, well-polished gameplay and solid aesthetics to complement it.
In an era where so many hugely-anticipated AAA titles end up hugely disappointing, Celeste, Hollow Knight, Undertale, and Slay the Spire have absolutely captivated me and reminded me why I love video games, and in all those cases I paid a fraction of what I would have paid for a AAA release.
and no labor abuse to keep u up at night as well!
My youth pastor would love this
Rocky and Bullknuckle is going to be a great 64 Hour Special one day.
Finally!! I’ve been waiting all week!
I've been waiting all year
Shawn cursed? I laughed.
Love the Pat and Oscars talk. More San Diego restaurants
Often times I think Derrick conflates feelings of depression with a game "not being any good". Often times I hear him go, "You know... its just not that interesting and I'm not into it and I don't even like talking about it or thinking about it".
My youth pastor would not like that
I definitely see what you mean, mental illness can absolutely ruin how a person relates to media, I've had it happen to me too, but I also think at a certain point certain video games just stop being fun or feel like a chore, and I guess it partly comes down to knowing what kinds of games you like vs those that you don't care for etc. or it could just be that the game fucking blows in your opinion.
Shawn's tribute was beautiful, but it made me think he died
"I'm still a McVirgin." - Garrett Hunter
Died at that part lol
@@mr.exposition idk how garrett manages to just blurt out so many things that are unintentionally hilarious.
Ba Ha Mas.
Man I can't believe Derrick's vulgarity drove Shawn away. Hope he comes back
That Shawn montage was really great though.
Welp, there goes the like-dislike ratio and Rocco's faith in humanity
Yanni Live at the Acropolis is one of the most well produced concert videos I've ever seen. I watch it on the regular
Any podcast without Shawn is bound to be a FUCKING NIGHTMARE.
That Shawn tribute was genuinely touching. RIP in peace :(
Stream looks so crisp this week, kudos and thank you for the upgrades
I think its a little funny how Derrick is on the opposite side of the screen as he actually is irl on set
Why in 2020, when you can find a lot of game review / gameplay footage on UA-cam, people still complaining about the performance of the game they bought?
commenting again for my youth pastor: "that shawn tribute was tight" - my youth pastor
31:40 honestly one of the most thought provoking things ive ever heard....
"minecraft with dinosaurs" hurt me,
other than that my youth pastor would love this!
dude johnny loves mega 64 so much HOW DOES HE FIND THIS STUFF, absolutely loved the shawn vibes!!! first time shawn's missing and im happy
finally a podcast free of Kant's moral posturing
I love that broken baby metaphor for cyberpunk.
Thank you, I missed ya
bell peppers mature through these colors and each phase tastes completely different wtf
You are looking for Kopi luwak which is a type of vietnamese coffee made by recolting fermented coffee bean from fecal matter left by a civet. Civet does not digest coffee bean well but instead ferment it in their intestine.
I assume they already figured it out but it was a skunk's gas glands
The handsome one looking cute in his Matrix suit 🥰
I personally am HIGHLY OFFENDED, at how non-vulgar Derek was in this episode. Get it together man.
Amazing tribute, Johnny Nutmeg
That montage needed some dance class, some crying shawn, some "I don't give a fuck about Evangelion"...
The Shawn Tribute is great!! So well done
Re: the Cyberpunk and platforms conversation you guys had as someone who works on AAA games I just wanted to give my two-cents (Disclaimer: I'm no expert on platform optimization or monetization):
Platforms deviate so wildly in terms of capabilities, projects will often "target" one platform as a benchmark and then adjust values for other platforms as needed around that. Usually this comes in the form of graphical adjustments (i.e. lower aliasing on PS4 vs. PS5, lower texture resolution on XB1 vs. Series X) to accommodate hardware constraints. It's a lot of project bandwidth and threading the lines of what each platform can really do, and if your project isn't equipped or structured in such a way to take it into account it can be a very wonky process or look/act worse than intended. Couple this with a project trying to ship on Ps4, Ps5, Xbox1, Series X, Switch, Stadia, and PC and it's VERY easy to spread yourself thin trying to support all platforms, so it can be tricky to try and get parity across systems. Couple that with a long development cycle Cyberpunk had which included new platforms being worked on, announced and released and it doesn't surprise me there's such inconsistency between them.
As to why they wouldn't just target one platform is basically what Derrick said - $$$. If you just launch on PS5 you're cutting off all the paying users on PS4 (very bad for a launch game especially since the userbase is largely divided). Even if the game is amazing on PS5, as a third-party dev it's a huge risk to make a really good PS5-only game and hope it's enough for PS4 players to look at and be willing to buy a PS5 just to play. On top of that you miss out on the already-at-capacity PS4 userbase which is so much larger than the PS5 early adopters. On the other hand if you build with only PS4 in mind there's less longevity/marketability there - PS5 users won't be rolling back to play it on the PS4 and there's a sentiment of wanting the "latest and greatest" product, not a last-gen title, so it's harder to market something which seems not caught up with the latest tech. I think companies without safety nets are always going to be risk-averse, and in CP2077's context it's might have actually been safer to release a buggy game on all platforms than a polished game on a single one.
Anyway, just wanted to shad a bit of light on some of the behind-the-scenes stuff. I'm by no means an expert on these topics but it might help clarify what is already a baffling release for a lot of people. :P
My youth pastor would marvel over this.
Your eating competition is pure christmas spirit
this was uploaded on my birthday thanks for the great gift of your presence
Im a new fan but the Shawntage still made me emotional. What a guy
*1:18:27* I can't get that damn sentimental acoustic music out of my head. Thanks a lot Shawn.
rest in peace shawn. so sad to see you go ;(
My youth pastor would love this!
Garrett rockin the Lemmy mustache in order to maintain the facial hair equilibrium.
can't believe we lost another one, hopefully Shawn is having fun over with the rooster-Teeth folks 🙏
There's a name for games like miles morales: standalone expansion
I know us pc masters are annoying but seriously PC is where it's at. I converted this year and it feels like a waste I didn't do it sooner
Negative comment: my youth pastor would love this
My youth pastor would LOVE this!!!
some real philosophical conversations
I didn't know Miles Morales was a DLC game, so when they keep saying "the original one", my mind was jumping to the N64 game.
Oh fuck I forgot about the Christmas cast
My youth pastor would fucking love this
I'm some random schmuck with a high end PC and I've only had a couple of minor visual bugs (a floating phone, a guy walked through an elevator door once). I can say that once it's been patched and fixed the story and gameplay is really incredible. Keanu is just okay (like you predicted) but his character is fun so it's fine.
My youth pastor would love this video
I'm pretty happy with Cyberpunk on PC. 2080 Super and a 5-year-old i7. I haven't played any other games since it came out on the 9th.
It's an open world RPG, not a sandbox game, so you don't really have a lot of activities, but what you can do is basically all authored with some kind of story. So and so pissed off this and them, so you gotta rescue them. Then you'll see dialogue and journal entries with extra context on the how and why. It's nice. The story is good. Teared up a couple times.
There are a lot of bugs, but they're pretty much all minor and visual. The auto save thing isn't that bad. It autosaves like every minute, so if you get stuck with a bad one, just go back one more save. There are several autosave slots, and you can also quicksave (again, with multiple slots).
Also, the reason why games launch in a shitty state is due to capitalism. If you didn't have to work for a living, projects like games would be done when they're done instead of done when they need to start bringing in revenue.
My youth pastor would love this.
SHAWN tribute : 1:18:25
You guys' very own "what video games are like in the future" are surprisingly Prophetic on many of it's warnings
One can say that it's such a...
Backyard Messiah...
:DDDDDDD
Shouts out Pat & Oscars, I actually saw Shawn there once years ago in Mission Valley
Please guys, this is a Christian stream, no swearing
Play date for Cyberpunk 2077 will be in 6-12 months. Wait for the first DLC release.
that are you afraid of the dark beanie is legendary
the shawn tribute was extra cool
its to bad it wasn't the secret unreleased episode of shawnime
Derrick looks like the epic meal time guy
Epic meal man
my youth pastor would love this
1:00:03 Maybe Derrick was the Baby Man all along. ✋🤪🤚
My youth pastor would love this!!
I also heard that the best way to play is to get the Stadia, so I'm waiting for my stadia to arrive from the US. It's true, they developed the game on the PS4, and Xbox One, but those consoles can barely boot the game... So I feel like there is a deception.
Cyberpunk on the PS4 experience = Far cry 4 on the PS3 experience
I love Pat and oscars breadsticks! i was so sad when they left my area.....
Hello
sup
We did get Desmond’s story, it took 4 games
