Summary

With Austin still away on vacation, Patrick, Rob, and Cado decided to dive in to the question bucket and fish out the weirdest questions we've been sent. Little did we know that we'd be faced with questions that shake the very foundations of our beliefs. We question the nature of order and chaos, the ethics of jumping off of a Yoshi to save yourself, and wonder out loud what ever happened to Need for Speed? And finally, we enter into that eternal debate, one that's been asked and answered for as long as podcasts existed: Knife or Bat?

I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna read this script. What's good internet? It is Friday, July 18th, 2019 and you're listening to, uh,

0:24.0

Waypoint radio episode two, four, nine, I am your host Austin Walker and joining me is, uh,

0:31.7

No one, it's just me. It's just me. I've actually decided. Uh, it's just me, Austin Walker. I'm here. I've decided that I'm not in an anime anymore. So, wow.

0:41.7

There we go. What are you gonna do now that you're not into anime?

0:46.1

Uh, Clash Royale. That's, you know, um, yeah, Austin's still on vacation. I'm to Patrick Lubbick. I'm joined by Ricardo Contreras, Rob Zachney.

1:01.1

We, okay. So we had an idea for this podcast where, let's just ask for some weird questions and then I came up with a bit as I was sitting down for this podcast where,

1:11.1

uh, I usually host these when Austin's gone and I was gonna be like, oh, but Kato's gonna be like, hey Patrick, you don't pick out some questions and I was gonna be like, you know what?

1:21.1

Be a producer and pick out the questions yourself. Yeah. And then as it was revealed, neither he nor I have access to the questions.

1:29.1

And then it was like, hey Rob, Rob, which then prompted, um, roughly 10 minutes of Rob making, uh, animal grunting sounds as he went through the questions, responding to them in, in various ways.

1:46.1

I was giving, I was making considered connoisseur like noises as I sort of swished the questions around in my mind.

1:55.1

Okay.

1:57.1

You know, a query somewhere earlier if you're, if you, yeah, I, so I've not looked at any of these questions.

2:06.1

I guess I could say very briefly, I have played a couple hours of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, which comes out on Switch today as you're, as you're listening to this.

2:14.1

I'm not super familiar with that series in the past. I've really liked X-Men Legends 1 and 2, like the Raven games that were made,

2:20.1

uh, for like the PS2 and Xbox and GameCube way back in the day. Those are a little more character action. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is a little more, uh,

2:28.1

like MMO-ish. It's a lot of like cool downs and like cross bonuses, synergy between characters. It's fine.

2:39.1

As a button-mashing sort of antidote to playing Super Mario Maker, like I'm been totally cool, which is turning my brains off and just watching numbers flash on the screen.

2:53.1

So I'm not, I don't consider that a very good, like well considered take on what that game is.

2:59.1

There are people who know more of what those games are, but if you just like mashing the buttons and you like Marvel, it's fine.

3:06.1

That's our review of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. Great. All right, Rob.

3:12.1

Guide us. Do you want me to like pick a number? Like how do you, do you want to do this in order? How, how do you, how?

3:19.1

Eric writes, you're in a fight with the death of another person equal to your size. You were offered either an aluminum baseball bat or a six inch non-cerated knife.
