This is Steve Downes, the voice of Master Chief Sierra 117, and you're listening to podcast unlocked the world's number one Xbox podcast.

Now, finish this fight. Master Chief, out.

Hello and welcome to podcast unlocked episode 500 and one.

I'm close today. It's Miranda Sanchez, not Ryan McCaffrey, who is out today on some dessert vacation, along with Brandon Tyrell, who is actually a ghost at this point.

But we'll be back at some point. Maybe imaginary friend. I'm not too sure what we would call him. It's an apparition. Someone that we we missed dearly, but we'll be happy to have him when he comes back.

So instead this week I have joining me is desolary.

Hey, everybody. Hey, welcome. And there's the band. Yeah, there's a van. There it is. And making her unlock debut is tailored out. Lyle's welcome on in.

Hello, thank you guys for having me today. Yeah, absolutely. As I said, Ryan is out. So chaos will ensue. I hope you guys do enjoy this unlocked episode 500 and one.

But before we begin, I just wanted to remind everybody as we do every time at the top of the show that I, Jim, games is live. If you guys want to watch us on video, you will find our full episode on I, Jim, games, you will also find a bunch of ways chat games and podcasts beyond as well as plenty of other video content.

We also are done with Yapa as it has been done for a very long time now. So if you guys want to be part of the loop lock to send your video questions, which would absolutely have please send them to Ryan McCaffrey on Twitter, not me, but also since he didn't send anything to me, which you wouldn't have, because no one told you to do that.

We don't have a loop box today, but you know, we have actually a very fun trivia today. So stick around because I put that one together just a little teaser later. But for now, let's get to the news.

All right, so we have big news dropping, of course, when Ryan's out, it's huge. It's all there. The Xbox all access music video ad by all for one.

You guys, what do you think about this video? This is a hilarious sort of R&B advertisement, hover or a timidly of reimagined version of I swear, which is a 1994 ballot from all for one. And then Microsoft's like, hey, you guys want to make an Xbox all access remix. I guess they said yes. And now we have it.

And it's amazing. I really like it. Yeah, I just watched it before the show. And my favorite part as Miranda pointed out as I was watching it was when she brought up the dinner to herself.

Yeah, one point she has like this beautiful candle lit dinner on a tray. And it's just really or nay. And she sits down in the Sims is play. I'm like, that's, that's me. That's, that's what I do. You get the candles go in. You have like a nice state dinner.

I'm for the Sims, man.

Yeah, this is definitely a fun video to put together. And I was going through to watch the original, which is nothing like this whatsoever. Really. I thought there would be like nods to it or something, but not from what I saw.

I really, really like this. I love the whole ambiance, the whole mood of the music video. And it's funny. It just kind of makes you laugh a little bit, right?

Yeah, I mean, yeah, no, I was just saying like I agree. I mean, I was born in the 90s, 95 in case anyone was curious. So like, I don't have that many like nostalgic like music videos, but you know, I'd go back and like watch them on YouTube and stuff like that.

But I loved this. I thought the whole video was funny. It was like serious, but also like, Jokey and like in in its own way.

What I really noticed is that I love that Microsoft has very much been embracing kind of like the meme culture that is like their Xbox brand like you have the Xbox and chill hashtag mini fridge.

Just like all this stuff that's been happening like the last like several months. I love that they're embracing and really kind of poking fun at the humor that everybody's kind of like having and they're just like, you know what? Let's just run with it. And like, let's use it to our marketing advantage. And I hope they keep doing it.
