Level 49 - Never Made It As A Jet Ski

Water.
Churning tide turning, sun burning.
Wave crash, cookie tossing, snake and quaking, booty
shaking, scrolling, controlling rock and rolling.
Strap on that seahorse and ride.

Welcome to Remember 64, where
this week we're revving our watercraft engines.
Welcome to the show, everyone.

This is Remember 64, whether it
is your first time listening or your or a returning listener or
viewer of the show, welcome once again.
My name is David Pitrangelo and

I love me some racing, but man,
if I could just win a race once in a while, that'd be kind of
nice.

Oh, a pretty dolphin.
Hello Miss Dolphin.

I think I'm just going to chill
with you for a little while.

Oh, and it's soothing sounds of
the dolphin squeals the intro race Lady.
Is this what heaven feels like?

And of course, Jiggy Lookback is
here with me.

Oh yeah, we're racing on some
Waves Max Power crossing the finish line with that 3D model
booty.

Let's do it.
Gotta love the 3D bottle booties.
And of course we have a special guest with us.
I have been on their podcast, I think a couple of at least once,
maybe a couple times.

Memory.
If memory serves me correctly,

Aaron from Super Pod Saga is
here to talk about Wave Race 64.

Aaron, welcome to the show.
Hello, I'm going to quote my favorite part from Wave Race 64.
OK, OK.

OK.
OK.

Yeah, that is there.
There's some there's some pretty cool, interesting and goofy
sounds coming from this game.

That is definitely something
we're going to, we're going to be visiting in the next few
minutes for sure.

Aaron, before we we jump into
talking about Wave Race and why you brought the game to our
attention to have it as one of the games that that you wanted
to play as well.

But let's talk a little bit
about your show.

Let's talk a little bit about
Super Pot Saga and and what's been happening lately.
Right on.

Well, yeah, Superpod Saga, It's
just me now.

I think the last time you were
on, Tommy was still with us, but he left.
He left recently.

But yeah, it's just just me and
I invite some guests on every every episode.
And each episode is a different video game topic that we decided
to talk about.

I'll let the guests decide.
And yeah, we cover all sorts of different stuff from I think the
was a Day if you've been on to talk about indie hidden gems and
favorite video game locations and we've done episodes on like
the the 6th generation consoles or like our favorite video game
weapons and stuff like that.

Just a different topic every
time.

You never know what to expect.
It's on, it's on everything.

But just look up Super Pond Saga
and you'll find it.

And it was very.
It was super easy and I just followed.
Well, thank you Jiggy.

Yeah, it's just like that.
It's very it's very laid back, casual.
I don't have a script or anything.
I we just go all off the cuff and just have fun.
Talk about cool games that we like and why we like them, and
goofy fun ad breaks toward the middle where we just make up
goofy random garbage and then that's it.
That's the show.

Super bad Saga.
It is it is a great time to record and a great listen I I
can I can attest to that for sure.
So yeah I definitely check it out it's it's really fun man.
It like you you and Tommy and then yourself like you you guys
together and and you solo.

It's been it's been it's awesome
it's it's it's just fun like it's just fun that's that's the
best way I could I I'm not I'm not good with words sorry people
but it's just fun it's a good time so check it out So I want
to go back to you before we get into some of the the breaking
down the details of the game and stuff like that but what is it
about about Wave Race 64 for you that it was one of the games
when we've chatted over over the over time that this is one that
you know I want to put my hand up for for for talking about it
what what about Wave Race 64 like hits for you back then and
and maybe even now.

What's All right?
I played a little bit of this game at my my cousin's house a
long time ago.

I don't remember a whole lot
about whether or not I actually played it or not, but I know
that they had it and I played it a little bit.
But mostly I watched them play it and I've been pretty
interested in it lately because it's just one of those series
that Nintendo just abandoned I think with the GameCube.
I think the last one we got was on the GameCube, the IT was like
blue storm or whatever and it's it's just like a water yeah an
on water or water based we're going to call it racing game
just seems so cool and it'd be so rad to have another wave race
again And this one on the 64, despite being on the 64 still
looks really really good.

Like the character models look
really awesome.

The water looks great, the
dolphins and sharks and the the seagulls.
I can't think of what a seagull was called for a minute, but.
Everything.

It's it's a flying shark.
It's a flying shark really, is what it is, yeah.
Yeah, and it's just such a it's such a beautiful game.
Like, yeah, it's just so fun to play.
I'll I'll get into how how badly

I suck at the game in in a
little bit but it's it's an awesome, awesome game.
Nice, nice.

I want to make sure that I cue
this up because I want to talk a little bit about about the game
being being made and sort of how it came to be.
Because there is a little bit of like sort of love for this game
because of the way it looks and the way it plays and the
technology that they that they use in order to like make the
waves and the graphics and stuff so early on in this in the life
cycle of the console.

So as always, let's bust out the
history books everyone.

I'm learning.
We're going back to the early days of the Nintendo 64 November
of 1996.

This is depending on where you
look it up and depending on where you might have lived.
I believe it is either the third or fourth release for the
console in North America.

So it is very early.
It is essentially a launch title cause the the console had a
launch window I would say with games and this was within that
first couple of months of when it hit North America.
So yeah, this is essentially a launch title, but it was led by
I am going.

The development of the game was
led by Here I am mispronouncing

Japanese names Shinya Takahashi.
That's pretty good.

That's better, right?
Probably one of the easier names, so you.
Could be a native speaker.

Didn't you know?
Didn't you know it was just hiding my talents?
Oh wow, this is me sucking at this race right now.
Terrible.

Yeah.
You know what this was?

So if anyone's watching the
YouTube version, I think this was me playing around with like
how the the steering works and stuff, which we'll get into.
And then I quickly realized after this one race, which is
the 1st and easiest, I definitely can't race in
whatever setting I chose.

So that's my that's my excuse at
least for this.

OK, so it was led by Takahashi
who was at Nintendo since 1989, so he'd been there for a very
long time, and NES and SNES days and everything.
He's one of the people that is credited in Nintendo from being
able to bring the company from 2D to 3D.
So he's like a major player in

Nintendo, being able to just
make anything for the 64 and develop the technology.
So big name in the in the in the company.
From what I could tell, he still works there or just very
recently stopped working there.

So this guy's been with the
company for 40 years, which is just insane.
But hey man, you work for

Nintendo.
I'm sure everyone wants to work there for 40 years.
So I'm off all for it, right?

Oh yeah.
For sure.

Yeah, so the game came about.
Oh, there we go.

I just restarted it.
So I was like, fuck this.

Terrible.
OK, so while experimenting with the Nintendo 64 Silicon Graphics
technology, a tech demo was made and the and speak piqued the
curiosity of the team and they just said this is according to
an interview with with Time.

I found it at-time.com back in
like 2010, I think it was.

They said we want to quote, make
something fun of it.

So whatever that demo was, which
was a racing game with water involved, they wanted to make
something fun of it so that that's it.
That's what made Wave Race

Everybody make something fun.
Make something fun of it.

Beautiful.
Did you know that?

And you might.
Were you done?

Let me ask you that first.
Are you done yet?

Because there's a fun fact after
that.

Please do, yeah.
Because they were, I believe they were.
They originally had boats like, yeah, high speed boats and
that's what they were doing.

And then Tim Stamper from Rare
said it would be cooler if you had jet skis.
Like, whether that's a passing comment or whatever, he's like
do jet skis and that's what they did.
And and it's and it's from from

Rare too, you know, which
obviously was very intertwined with Nintendo, you know for
multiple reasons and games and stuff like that.
But the fact that, you know, it wasn't like Miyamoto, that was
like you know what I like Jet

Skis.
Let's use that.

That's something fun.
It's like, no, no, this this guy, you know, Stamper was the
guy that did it.

And I think boats could have
been cool.

But immediately when I read that
too, I was like, if you guys ever played Hydro Thunder.
That's what I was gonna say.

That's what it reminded me.
Of is this, is this the first racing game on water or 'cause I
know, I know Hydro Thunder came out in like 99 or something like
that, so that, yeah.

So I don't there's a wave race
before this.

Yeah, I mean, there's other ones
that are kind of like, yeah, OK,

I was gonna mention that too.
The, I don't know that it's the first that's like on water
because they're probably be some sort of boat racer or something,
even for like Genesis or there must be something like that but
for 3D, gotta be, as far as I can tell, it's gotta be the
first one.

But yeah, the the one before
this, which I never realized, honestly until I think a couple
years ago that this was like a sequel.
I had no idea there was another wave race growing up, no.
Idea on the Game Boy of all things.
What the hell?

On the Game Boy, I look, I got
it right here.

Look at that.
Oh, wait.

Yeah.
Yeah.

That's awesome.
So this is my little emulator device.
I had it on there.

I had a bunch of like Gameboy
games like preloaded on it, and that was one of them.
And I played it a little bit, actually.
It was, it was, it was pretty good, you know, it wasn't
amazing or anything, but it's sort of, you know, top down and
you just have like the jet skis that kind of honestly just look
like little speed boats kind of thing.
And you're just unattractive.

Have you played a jiggy or have
you have you seen it?

No, I've seen it though.
Yeah, I've seen that it's top down.
It's kind of like I'm trying to think what the Mini Racers game
is.

Micro Machines?
You ever play Micro Machines for

NES?
That's what it reminds me of.

That's what it reminds me.
Of very similar, wasn't there also?
No.

I don't think it was a racing
game, wasn't there another game with boats that Rare made?
It was on the Rare Replay, I think, but not, I think.
But I don't think it was a racing game though.
I think it was just like a combat game.
Oh.

Rare replay.
Rare Replay.

I can do this.
OK, cool.

I'm gonna look it up while you
try and remember it.

Yeah.
I don't know, maybe you're talking about blast core with
vehicles.

No, it's not.
It's not Blast Core for sure.

Also a game that people should
check out now that it's on

Switch.
Blast Core is not perfect, but it is.
It's interesting, and an early early one.
Cobra triangle.

Cobra triangle.
Yeah.

OK.
Yep.

Yeah, 81 even.
Older.

That's on Rare Replay.
Yeah, yes.

Wow.
I didn't know it was either.

I just looked it up too.
I don't think I've ever played that.
I don't have.

Oh, it's a.
Replay I don't.

Have an Xbox.
Which sucks.

I do.
It's awesome.

Wikipedia says it's racing.
So it's it's racing.

Thanks Wikipedia.
Thanks wiki.

Yeah, that game.
That game rocks.

Actually, that's a.
That's a pretty good.

OK, I gotta try that then that's
that's awesome.

I gotta try that.
Like twisted metal, but on water.
Oh shit that sounds great that's awesome.
OK.

So lastly what I wrote down as
far as what the as far as like making cause the the waves in
this and and how the waves look and how they react and all those
types of things.

I think is like especially the
way they look is something that was was new at the time.
They basically started making it available in 3D for this game
because you you have to obviously code it differently
and program it differently than you would for.
For 2D it's called alpha blending.
I don't know much about coding or really what that what that
means, but alpha blending apparently is the process of
combining an image with the background to create the
appearance of full transparency.

So basically they would with the
waves.

What they would do is they would
go between no transparency and alpha blending and sort of put
those two together on top of each other in like motion.
And that's how it made the waves look either transparent or you
know, I guess not transparent or opaque or whatever you want to
call it.

So that I I think whatever they
did, however it works it to me it looks great.
I think the waves and stuff, they they look, they still look
awesome, so.

And the way the background
reflects off of the surface of the water too, man, that's so
and and you can see like the fish kind of like swimming
toward they like swim toward the the surface of the water too
man, that that's so that's so rad for the N64.
It's so it's ahead of its time like other games maybe would
have had a chance to do that or at least try to or whatever.
This was like before they even knew what the fuck they were
doing with this console.

You know what I mean?
Like number three.

Yeah.
Game #3.

It's amazing.
Yeah.

So so that's that's that's
pretty cool that they were able to to kind of do that and stuff.
But let let's get into let's get into the game itself.
Let's talk about the gameplay and Jiggy, I'm going to start
with you because I asked Aaron sort of his experience with it.
But did you have past experience with this before we started
playing it again?

And what'd you think?
I did not have any past experience with this.
This is like one of those.

This is strange.
I've always had opportunity to play this game.
Always.

Never, never have I it like
anytime it's anywhere.

It's like, well, I'm I think the
problem is I I was, you know I'm a bit younger.
I got into the N64 in 99, so at that point I already had my
first game was Donkey Kong 64,

People, people know this.
And then we had Diddy Kong

Racing, we had Mario Kart, we
had all those why would I go to wave race when I could do
hovercrafts in Diddy Kong

Racing, you know?
But it's, it's one of those, it's always been there and I've
always been curious about it.

So I'm happy to say that, you
know, I got to play it and it was fun.
I had fun.

It was it was cool.
I love the waves.

I it actually the game that pops
into my head when I play this game because if this doesn't
show you that I'm a bit younger is a Crash Bandicoot warped.
Crash Bandicoot.

Three, because there's a Jet Ski
game play in that.

Game, and I'm going to look that
up real quick.

That's all I could think of the
entire time I'm like, this has got to be this is exactly like
Crash Bandicoot Warped.

Which is funny because when I
play Crash Bandicoot Warped, I had the back like back thought
that I'm like this is this is probably what wave race is like
like.

It's the whole game.
And it was.

So, so you so you did you play
it on Switch or where did you end up I?
I did play it on Switch this time.
Yeah, what it's available on there.
I I played some of my my gameplay of of it on there as
well.

The recording that I'm having
running while we're recording and that's on the YouTube
version of this of this episode, is me playing on the 64, so it
doesn't look quite as sharp.

I think that you know they
they've done a pretty decent job of sharpening things up on the
Switch online ones.

So I I do think that they look
pretty good.

The colors pop a little bit more
and stuff.

How did you, how did you, how
did it feel like?

How did how did it control in
your mind since you hadn't played it previously?
Well, since I used the N64

Switch online controller, it's.
I imagine it's probably pretty similar to what you experienced,
right?

I personally, I was having a
hard time really wrapping my head around like doing flips and
stuff at first.

Oh yeah, me too.
Because it's almost like you have to, you have to angle
yourself down or up and like get momentum and then kind of flip
into it.

With the joystick it's it's
different because you almost feel in other games you would go
off the ramp.

And you don't.
OK, you hold down on the joystick and it would like
slowly, like backflip or something.
Yeah, I had to look.

I had to look these up.
I had no idea how to do.

You have to whip it like you
have to whip it.

Whip it like you go down on the
up, down and up and then.

Down and up would be good.
I don't know what else you could do, but I got really good at
backflips, so I backed.

Really.
All the time.

I had a hard time with.
I had a hard time with the tricks when I was racing.
I wasn't really.

Oh yeah, when you're racing,
it's like, forget about it.

It's only if it's convenient,
which it rarely is.

Rarely is and.
Riding the waves was cool, though.
Like every once in a while you get a wave that like comes with
you, like it pushes with you, and if you kind of maneuver your
craft just right, you can sit on the top of it and ride it in.
It gives you like a speed boost.

It's that was cool.
It is.

Cool.
I think they somehow they were able to to really like make the
reaction that your craft or your racer has with the race it, with
the waves.

I think sometimes it feels like
it maybe makes you like, you know, move around a little too
sharply sometimes.

But I think that's also like,
well, you just have to know how to react to those waves.
Like that's just part of how the game feels, part of the
gameplay.

It's not, I wouldn't say it's
necessarily a fault of the game, but I do.
I did actually like the levels that were like the one, what was
it called?

I should have them all pulled
up, but it's the one that we had up on the video a minute ago
where you're sort of like in the swamp area and stuff.
Oh yeah, yeah.

That one I think looks really
great to to start.

But also like I I kind of like
that there aren't like a lot of waves bumping me around.
But then you go to these levels, like this one, which is like the
the fortress or something like that, and it's just.
This.

This one can lick my sack.
I hate this fucking stage.

Dude, it's chaos.
With the boxes and shit.

Or maybe that was the one
before, but I want the boxes fucked me up.
Yeah, there's a couple of them with the boxes and the one and
then you'd like the shortcuts and stuff like that.
I so I I think that I for me, I like the way that that you do
have to take the waves into account.
They're not just there for show kind of thing, right?
So like, we're talking about like the older versions of a
game like this.

Waves are there, but they're
like, for example, the Game Boy

One.
If there's a wave, there's like these arrows that point across
the screen and it basically just pushes you left or right or back
or forward a little bit.

And that's kind of it.
And I understand that's just the limitations of of a Game Boy.
But with this, like a huge wave is coming, You have to like,
prepare for it because it could launch you over something.
For example, that will give you a little bit of like a a
shortcut or it could totally screw you up and you could like
run into a wall or you can angle your craft the wrong way or
whatever.

And it's like you you gotta, you
gotta pay attention.

It's not just, it's not just
press a or hold on to A and just go.
So Aaron, what do you think, man?
How'd you how'd you feel?

Sort of picking it back up?
It's weird, man.

So like, I'm a pretty big fan of
of cart racers like Diddy Kong

Racing.
Of course Mario Kart, Sonic and

All Stars Racing Transformed.
For anybody who's ever played that before, that was really
fucking good.

But yeah, coming from from those
to this was really fucking difficult because like, I guess
some of those games do have little water sections, but not
nearly as.

Like I don't want to say like
complex, but like not nearly as.

They're not.
Real.

Like real.
Intense unwieldly.

Sometimes I.
Feel.

There we go.
Unwieldly is a good fucking example because like, yeah, the
first, my first, like first race on that first track, just that
stupid Oval.

All right.
I couldn't.

I was like, OK, I'll, I'll try
to do a power slide around that.

You know, that corner, you know,
easy peasy.

But of course you're on a jet
ski on water.

There's no, there's no power
slides.

There's no drifting.
There's no drifting.

Yeah, you just hit hit R1 or.
Don't turn.

Yeah, turn to turn or not to
turn?

Yeah, it was.
It was hard to kind of like what what Jiggy said.
It was hard to like wrap your mind around like racing on water
as opposed to like land.

But like once you do kind of get
a grip of of how the jet ski handles maybe like when you
tweak your settings a little bit too, like make it the handling a
little bit tighter and make it more like front end heavy or
whatever.

Yeah, once you get like a the
handle of that, it's actually pretty fun.
Like a lot pretty fun.

It's really fun.
It's it's awesome.

Did you did you tweak your your,
your Craft settings a particular way and just get used to that?
Or were you kind of like jumping around with stuff?
I I jumped around a lot when I when I first tried trying to get
used to the game, I did jump around a lot.
Don't don't ever turn the the handling, like all the way up to
light 'cause that sucks.

Oh my God, the sharpest little
turn and you you do like a fucking.
That's what was 780.

Up.
Yeah, 'cause I I was, I was playing on like, I don't know,
like normal, I think.

Right?
Which is not easy to to play.

Like it's it's hard.
The, the, the, the normal definitely is very, very hard to
win a race.

And I I turned it up, 'cause I
was like, I kind of screwed up in a couple turns.
I think I made it like even like 2 notches higher than what I had
like previously.

And I was hitting walls.
I was so I can make it.

I was just like what just
happened?

Like I couldn't.
I couldn't do it.

I couldn't do it.
I couldn't have to go back.

Yeah, make it a little heavier.
I forgot with.

I think the third stat had
something to do with like Boost or something else.
I forget what that was.

Yeah, and then the.
Yeah, dash and.

There's weight, yeah, There's
weight.

There's man, I should just go
back to the.

I should just go in this video
and just check.

Guys, I got.
I am so prepared that I know exactly what what it is here.
Let's see, where is it?

Where are.
Things like Boost or.

From there you go handling
engine and here we go.

Dash and Top End I don't.
I don't get what the dash part means though.
Does that Is that like acceleration or like?
I think that's what it is, yeah.

So I think if you go to dash,
it's more the acceleration.

If you go to Top end, it's your
top speed.

That's how I and I I think that
is the case, 'cause I think I I went a little bit more to Top
end because as long as you're hitting all your all the the
checkpoints, that extra couple of miles or kilometers per hour
on certain races, especially ones that don't have tons of
waves, I think felt like it made it an actual difference, like I
felt like it was actually going faster.
The other ones, what is it?

Gripper handling?
I can't remember which one of those where it yeah, it
completely.

That's the one that completely
screwed up my steering it.

Was.
I think so.

Good.
I couldn't do it.

I think, yeah, that's the one I
fucked up as well too, 'cause like, if you go too loose, like
the slightest turn just sends you on in a Whirlpool, man, it
sucks.

Don't ever do that.
Yeah, it I I I think I played a couple races with normal just
just because just try it with the IT seemed fine.
Like it's not like you're at a disadvantage necessarily.
I think a lot of it is.

I think the easy difficulty or
like the the opening championship thing.
A lot of it for me felt like it was.
This is where you can kind of get used to what you want to
use, and then once you get to the normal one, I got my ass
whooped constantly.

It was so hard.
I don't know, Jiggy, did you get that far?
Did you play into like the other difficulties?
No good.

No, absolutely not.
I I yeah, I've decided after our

Earthworm gym 3D experience I
wanted to take things easy from now on and that's that's that's
gone through even to my normal.

So I not to divert from this
game but I borrowed Super Mario

RPG from my my little brother
nice for the Switch, the Switch remake.
I'm super excited and there's the Breezy mode and normal mode,
and like I would always pick normal mode for everything, but
I picked Breezy and I'm really enjoying it.
Nice.

That's good, man.
Hey, who?

Who cares?
You're having fun, right?

That's.
Exactly.

You're having fun.
Who fucking cares?

Who?
Gym 3D made me wanna play games easy for.
A while Aaron, please avoid that game it it will break you.
I've played it and it's, it's it's garbage, Yeah, yeah.
We we have an episode on that.

And I I think, I think there was
stuff that we were like, oh this is this is all right.
But for the most part, it was like son of a bitch.
It sucks.

It's one of those games you see
the glimpse of.

It could be good, it could be
fun, but it's just they just fail on everything basically.
Yeah, it just does not come together in a in a pretty in a
decent package.

So I wanted to make sure that we
that we covered some of the music and the sound.
I want to for sure, you know what I'll do soundtrack is I'm
going to start with because I'm already on it.
I'm going to start with how the races start and let me know if
you guys can hear this, but I think you'll be able to do it.
Oh no, come on, sound.

Sound.
Why isn't it working?

That's weird.
It should work.

No.
All I can think of is Mario Kart music, so I'll fill it in.
Why isn't it working?

That's so strange shit.
Oh God, it's still in my head now.
Well, that.

Somebody's joined me in my
little singing moments.

Dude that I do that shit all the
time on my show, so.

Perfect.
Come on, come on, super pod saga.
Sometime we'll we'll we'll doodly doodle long, dude.
Let's.

Doodly do to do it.
Oh my God, of course.

Oh man, OK, I forgot.
Fun fact.

Please do what's?
Up a fun fact, when this game was re released on the Wii
Virtual Console, the licensing for the Kawasaki stuff was up.
So all the advertisements and

Kawasaki related stuff was
replaced with Wii, Nintendo DS and 64 like posters and banners
and stuff.

Just.
'Cause they, yeah, I guess, 'cause they would have had to,
right?

That's, yeah.
Did they you think they had to get it like renewed for the for
the Switch online thing or is it had it?
Renewed for Wii U, so I'm assuming that that just like
transferred over.

Oh, is it on Switch?
I didn't even realize if it was

OK.
It is on switch.

Yeah, it's all.
Yeah, so they must have just signed for 20 years or whatever
it is, or 30 years we use Older than than I probably realized.
Ripped to a real one.

Love that fucking thing, dude.
Yeah, it's yeah.

Jesus.
Oh man, I am insanely disappointed the sound is not
working.

Well, you know what?
The sound is really great.

And instead, what I'm gonna do
is I'm going to insert the music right here.
Guys.

Wasn't that beautiful?
Wow, it was so.

Beautiful.
You heard it.

It was great.
It was so.

Great.
I really love the the really stupid ones that I love are the
the third and fourth goal ones for like when you finish a race
in like third or fourth place, they're so they're so chill.
And then, like, they're just so, so good.
Like so it's so funny because the guy that's commenting is
like, oh, you're in second, you're in, you're 10 seconds
behind, you're 4th, you're 3 seconds ahead or whatever.
And then when you come in like third or fourth, he just goes
try harder or.

He's not even close.
Oh, too bad.

All right.
Like he, like, insults you.

He just goes from being like you
said.

He goes from being like kind of
friendly and like encouraging to what the hell is wrong with you?
Race better, essentially.

OK, OK.
OK.

OK.
OK, going zipping through checkpoint after checkpoint on
the fortress place dude.

Oh my God.
Oh yeah, that's.

Right, my hero.
OK, OK.

You left everybody high Max
power.

Yeah.
Also then let you hear the engine Rev too just rear.
Yeah, dude.

You feel it.
You feel the power.

It's it's it's definitely I
think it definitely enhances the the game though like I I do
think that the I do think that the the music and the sound
effects and stuff are are pretty good.
I do appreciate that that they they kind of made sure that that
was a good solid part of the game.
You know, it's not, it's not this massive soundtrack, It's
not like you have a million different sounds or whatever,
but like they could have easily just done wave noises and the
the engines very basic and then just called it a day, 'cause
that's kind of what a lot of stuff at that time was doing
anyways, right?

So.
Yeah, you could have licenses that like holy shit licensed it
out and made like all all Rob

Zombie all the time on this
fucker like they did with

Twisted Metal Four or some shit
instead.

Yeah, Nintendo was like, no,
dude, they fucking with the sick fucking soundtrack for this.
And even like Blue Storm, they they really, really fucking
awesome job on on these games in the soundtrack.
Like bring it back.

I'll fucking choke whoever I
need to to get this God damn serious back, dude.
It's so fun, yeah.

I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna try this sound and see if it works OK.
No, no.

Dragula.
Come on through the bitches.

Do you imagine, like, ripping
through these fucking checkpoints, Dragula?
There's only one perfect band for this, though, and it's
Nickelback.

Oh God, oh man.
Don't drag my photograph.

Don't drag the Canadian
embarrassments into this.

Creep.
Please, creep.

Can you take the?
Effort of having that band, like having an actual band and they
make their lyrics like they they change them up so that they're
related to what's happening in the game.
So it's it's about Jet Skis or something, right?
It's like, can you Rev me higher?
Look.

At this jet waves where the
score lines are something like that, I don't know.
Oh my God.

Never made it as a jet ski.
Couldn't cut it as a jet ski?

Then this is how you jet ski.
Holy fuck, cut that part out.

Don't leave it in.
Fuck it.

Are you kidding?
There's no way that's that's not staying in.
It is.

You know what?
Actually, I think I found the new theme song for the entire
show.

It's like like that one episode
of Futurama with the the, the, the, the sex spots or whatever.
It's like hello there Phillip

Jay Fry.
Oh man, I'm so disappointed.

I couldn't play it.
I thought we could all just jam out.
But you know what?

I appreciated the the
renditions, gentlemen.

I think that it was that was
beautiful.

I think So, Jiggy.
We talked a little bit about

Aaron, stepped away for two
seconds.

We talked a little bit about
doing some of the tricks in this game 'cause the racing is one
thing, but there is a a a sort of, you know, stunt mode that
you can play.

And look at that trick, man, I
suck at doing these.

I me too, could not figure it
out.

I looked them up and I still
couldn't pull them off.

That one, that one trick that
just happened on stream where she just, like stuck her arm out
like that, is that really a trick?
I think so.

It just like.
You're just signaling a turn, bro.
Like that's not.

No hands.
I can grab my jet ski with no handlebars.
No handlebars.

Fucked.
Except.

Except with one hand on the
handlebars like.

Because otherwise you'd just be
flying the fuck off like one big wave and you're you're toasted.
That has happened to me before in the game where I've hit a
huge wave, like going too fast, and maybe I was.
I was pressing forward 'cause you can kind of like lean
forward a little bit, I noticed.

I don't know if it does anything
to your speed and then the the the racer just falls right off
the the jet ski it was like.

Shit.
Oh shit.

Yeah, he's as drunk as fuck.
Yeah, all the Coors Lights, all the.
What else would be a sponsor for this?
That would be a a a Sapporo maybe?
Because.

Because.
Of clomato or or Clomato?

The, the, the, the clam, The
clam juice.

Yeah, man, That's the that's the
the Canadian.

It's a Caesar.
That's, that's what you got right there.
That's what that is.

Caesar.
Yeah, man.

Oh my gosh.
That's what that's it says.

I do not like them at all.
I think they're gross, but people love them.
I don't know.

I don't.
Know nothing, says nothing, says

Kawasaki.
Your day on the beach like a fucking Caesar or Clamato or
whatever.

Tomato and clam juice, yeah.
Yeah, dude.

Disgusting.
On a really hot, humid day, just clam juice and tomato and I
think it's vodka.

I think so.
No, I'm not.

I am not for that at all.
Oh, look at that.

Oh, I almost did a trick, but
instead I hit a a pillar.

Yeah, I I couldn't figure out
the tricks.

I think the stunt mode thing I
tried, you go through rings to get a couple rings, you go off a
couple of jumps to to to get some more points and stuff.
But I found it a little too tough to pull them off and I was
like, I'd rather just race, honestly, at the end of the day.
So yeah, like I I think that I think the levels, I don't know
if you guys had favorite levels.

Do you guys have any favorites?
Any particular ones, even if you don't know the name off hand,
but.

I really like this one though.
This like swamp one.

That one's cool.
Yeah.

But I will say I had a least
favorite and it it wasn't the one that's like got the cranes
and stuff.

It was.
It was like track.

I want to say it was track
number two or three, I can't remember.
It's like it was almost a just an Oval, but you'd have to be
really tight around the corners or you'd go flying out of the
buoys.

Like it just kept happening to
me and it was really annoying.

Oh yeah, this one was kind of
cool too.

The Twilight City one where it
is.

Like Twilight City.
Yeah, that one's cool.

It it looks cool.
Like it looks interesting right?

It's almost like you're you're
you're racing through like a a cyberpunk type of type of thing.
You're just.

I don't know it, it looked.
Interesting.

Oh, that's cool.
That like city with the spotlights on it.
I I liked the 1st two.

I think like the swamp one and
like the very beginning one are really, really cool.
They have all those cool little set pieces and shit, like the
animals and the dolphins and shit jumping around and the cool
reflections on the water.

I fucking cannot stand the one
with the boxes in the water.

Fuck those boxes and whoever
dropped them there and the the the, the fortress one because
they like that.

I think that one has like the
little spiky.

Minds.
Yeah, why?

Yeah, why are minds popping up?
Why are minds on these on these race tracks?
What?

Right.
Why is that the?

Thing where you in?
That that happens in the in the normal difficulty they they
throw them.

In so if you do easy breezy, you
don't have to deal with any mines.
It's great.

It's, it's, it's great.
You should have to worry about dying.
I thought they would explode.

I was a little disappointed they
actually didn't explode.

It's hard enough.
It is you.

Don't gonna you don't gonna add
mines to the mix.

Yeah.
That's true, dude.

You imagine the movie Death
Race, but with Jet skis?

That'd be cool.
That that is the end.

That is, the hard difficulty in
this game is Death Race.

There's there's snipers just
chilling up there.

This this track is really,
really cool dude.

It is.
I like this one.

Yeah, this one looks really, it
looks a lot different than the rest, cause technically, I think
technically it's supposed to be outside, but it's all at night
time, which I don't know that any other ones are.
There's multiple ramps and like you said, Aaron, like the set
pieces is what's cool about these because there's multiple
points where like things are happening around you that
changes from the lap before.

And I love when games do that
just in general.

It also it also like lets you
replay a level so you know when that thing's coming because it
could be a shortcut or something like that.
And and this level kind of feels that way a little bit, which is
fun.

So yeah, this one.
'S fine.

I don't know it'd be a cool a
cool idea for if they did bring the the series back make it like
did you guys ever play either like split second or I I I think
Jiggy said he you played Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed
or whatever.

Like with with yeah with that
one the I think it's like each lap the the track kind of
changes a little bit.

That'd be cool if they would
bring back wave race and kind of do that like each lap.
You may be something like in in fucking split second you can
blow up parts of the track and it affects like the rest of the
race.

Like you can cause a skyscraper
to like close off one Rd.

So you have to go this way or
like that.

That'd be a cool thing to do
with with Jet skis, you know?

And I know because you could
just like move the buoys or something like you can just kind
of move things around a little bit or have like a ramp that was
underwater before and the water lowers and now you got a ramp
there, you know, like something like that would be kind of cool.
Yeah.

One thing I would.
Like if you ever played another

Sonic game, different Sonic
game, Sonic Riders.

No.
Yes, you could like.

Both of them.
You could have different types of vehicles or characters with
different like you could have a speed type of fly type, of power
type, and then you could get alternate tracks depending on
what type you have.

So you can take like different
shortcuts.

So like it'll say fly and you go
to the left and then you go off big ramps and then you go like
fly through the sky or something or power.
You like busting walls, Like I love stuff like that.
And having those options would create a little more variety
with like customizability too, which I think could be super
cool.

Yeah, that's a good.
That's a good idea.

Really cool.
I like that.

I also really like.
I mean, I I assume just because you guys have played all these
other games that I have not and are also racing games in a way.
You guys play the SSX series at all.
Oh yeah, I love, yeah, Ricky,

SSX, is it three or two?
I think it's three that I had for the original Xbox is
probably one of my favorite sports games and racing games of
all time.

I I think it's incredible.
I think it's one of the the most perfect sports games ever.
But EA and EA big made lots of those and with like EA and then
Midway and like those style of games that just don't exist
anymore, which is unfortunate.

But those games, like
snowboarding games more specifically I guess have those
races where it's.

I mean, some other racing games
do too, but those ones stick out to me where it's just from A to
B.

You know, you're not doing laps,
you're just kind of going down the hill and this, you could
just go from A to B across, you know, a track that's made, you
know, in the middle of the ocean or something like that.
And that could be cool too.

Yeah, Kind of a similar thing
where it's like maybe the track itself isn't changing per SE,
but you're not repeating yourself.
So, like, adding those types of tracks could be kind of, and it
doesn't have to be like super complicated.
It's just a different setting and one that like changes as you
go kind of thing so.

Makes me think of in Tony Hawk's
Pro Skater when they have downhill jam, like it's just
fundamentally and everything else and you're going downhill
constantly.

It's it's kind of a cool
breakaway from just a normal format of running laps.
Exactly.

Exactly.
It doesn't have to be a mode, even per SE, or it doesn't have
to be like every two races, that's what you do, One out of
every circuit.

You know, whenever, every like 5
you can, you can have one of those.
Yeah, give us a boost.

That would be dope.
There's a boost in the Game Boy

One.
There's a boost in the Game Boy

One.
What if there is in the game

Cube One?
Yeah this is me doing stunts.

I I terrible.
This is me.

I was just like going like this
at the joystick.

He's like wee all that arm
would.

Be.
Good.

And I could never, I could never
come in first.

I tried for about 20 minutes and
I was like, OK, I came in second and and every time the the voice
over guy is just like you almost did it.
Yeah, you almost did it.

I'm like, ah shit.
Oh, for the for the the sequel on the GameCube, you can pick up
turbos and stuff, but there's also like different weather
conditions as well.

Like of course waves.
But then there's yeah, there's like rain.
Damn, that's really really cool that.
Would be very cool.

Yeah, I gotta check that out.
I mean, I don't have a GameCube, but I can, you know, obviously
there's ways to play it.

Oh yeah, but that would be cool
now that I've played this, you know, it's another thing too, is
like, I think this is, this is kind of perfect to be.
This is one of those games that really works well to be on the
Switch online because you don't have to spend a ton of time
playing it to get the gist of it.
And then you can kind of go back and play a circuit or play a
race or whatever.

What is that?
What are you pointing at?

I can't say.
That's your GameCube.

Oh, that's your GameCube.
Oh.

It's one of them.
Oh, one of them up.

Yeah, sure.
Yeah, I.

Just wanted to say I have a
spare.

You have a spare.
That's nice.

Yeah, must be that.
Like my my good old black game cube that I've been running
since I was.

I don't know 10 or how.
It's an OG.

It's a It's an OG one, yeah.
Oh yeah, they're all.

I only buy the OG ones because
they have the digital ports on back.
Oh yeah, forgot.

Well my my OGSNES is still
running from 90.

Three, I think is when.
I am dude.

It's yellow.
It's not yellow.

There was no impressed but it
but it's definitely not the color it's supposed to be like
it's it's it's faded and stuff.

Yeah, but no yellow no yellow
anymore.

Yeah, yeah.
It's definitely not the not the shiny Gray.
It's all dark Gray but no yellowing.
But I but it would.

I've seen like videos online and
stuff for like, even though it's that you can still clean it and
it'll look sharper and look look new and stuff.
One day I want to do that.

I like the look of that console.
I know some people prefer like the Japanese 1, the Famicom, but
I I like, I like that one too.

So, super.
Nintendo looks fine, yeah.

I like the plane.
Yeah, exactly right.

And it ain't no, it's like a
genesis, but.

I I like the I like the SNES
better.

I like.
The way No, I think that.

I think this nest actually looks
cooler.

Yeah, Genesis kind of Harkins
back to like Atari days.

I feel like it looks more like
traditional home console, whereas this nest is just like.
Let's just pop it in, baby, pop it in and flip the flip the flip
thing.

Flip the flip.
I always forget that it had like the power switch, the middle
eject button as a kid.

We would just.
Pull.

You just pull the game out and
say you never, never use that.

Like, it's probably a good idea,
'cause it's less likely to probably damage your cartridge.
But as a kid, you're not doing that shit, man.
You just taking that thing right out.
I've got fucking places to go and then Lunchables to eat.
God damn it, I'm not wasting any fucking time.
Mom said it's lunchtime.

I gotta go.
These dunkaroos aren't gonna eat themselves.
Eat themselves?

Hell no.
I white icing Dunkaroos or the chocolate ones.
They have chocolate ones.

Yeah, they did.
I only remember the.

Yeah, they had them for us.
I only remember the white ones.

Oh, really?
Oh, I oh.

This isn't just a meat thing,
OK?

I I probably had the white ones.
I've never had a chocolate.

One, yeah, that was a chocolate
one.

I mean I prefer, I prefer the
the icing ones, but but yeah, we had that option, we had that and
also like we had ones that were very similar, but they were the
gram, the the little like honey gram bears.
Did you guys have those?

Yeah.
Teddy Graham, Teddy Grahams,

That's it.
Teddy Grahams.

They had those.
They started making.

Once Dunkaroos got popular, it
started putting those in like

Dunkaroo containers and like
having their own version of that as like, competition.
Interesting.

Yeah.
And they and they had like icing and stuff.
So it'd be like a Teddy Graham that tastes like honey with like
chocolate, chocolate, sort of icing or whatever it was
considered.

All right, let me tell you why.
That sounds good.

Yeah, it was good.
There was Keebler Elf, like, you know, like El Fudge cookies and
stuff.

Yeah, they made little s'mores
ones that were like like you could.
I know those.

And then Graham crackers, a
small bar of chocolate.

And then like marshmallow sauce.
Oh, that sounds.

And I loved just just caking the
thing with marshmallow sauce.

Eating it and then like licking
the marshmallow sauce out of the little package like it was the
best, yeah.

It was the best at that point.
You can't.

You have to do it.
You can't just let it sit there.

You gotta you gotta do something
with it, right.

So.
What the Frick?

You just did a handstand.
Yeah, that's one of the moves that I looked up.
It's one of the moves I looked up, it was something about like
you have to do you have to press

A and do forward and back or
something like that in the mid air, which is it's it looks
cool, but then I get all these points and I still come in
second place.

Yeah, it's like you have like
this perfect run and I'm like how the hell am I supposed to do
this?

I I played it for a bit and I'm
like, OK, yeah, I'm going to go back to racing.
So you're one of those people that actually puts your initials
in.

OK, so that's.
Yes, I always do.

I always, I always.
It's.

That's another thing too.
And this reminded me.

For me there is.
One name that goes in a three letter slot.
A, a, a.

And I bet you can.
Figure it out.

Is it ass or is it just a?
A.

A.
Yes.

No, it's.
Oh, that's a good point.

I guess there's two names that
it could.

Be it's either a car service or
it is your rear end.

It's one of the exactly Oh my
God, no, I do you know what it is?
On that I I got used to always doing it because one of the cool
things about my initials is that and I want to do this when I
when I have a kid too.

Is that I wanna I wanna see if I
can make their middle name.

I I don't know what is it what's
what is it when it's is it chronological You know what I
mean where it's it's it's an order.
So when I would have to put my name in in a in an arcade when I
got a high score like for example With this when it gets
you to like calculate your score it was D and then I would just
move over to J and move over to

Pi wouldn't have to go like A.
Oh.

Like over to P?
Yeah, yeah, You wouldn't have to zigzag.
You just go down.

I just go down the alphabet and
it was always satisfying.

I don't know what that is.
I don't know why that's a thing, but I was like, fuck yeah, my
name has my initials have that

Dang.
So I don't know that's that was so that's one of the reasons why
I do it is because it's easy.

It's easy, OK?
Yeah, it's easy, yeah.

Yeah, I like doing Asks 'cause
it's funny, I just chuckle to myself.
I'll get like I'll die halfway through Metal Slug 3 and then
then punch it ass and I'll be like.
Everything's OK now.

Everything's all good now.
Yeah, dude.

You know this, this game is very
arcadey.

Yes.
We didn't really talk about that, but it's very home arcade,
which is something you typically see from Sega.
I feel a little bit more than other companies.
Yeah, so kind of a cool 64 title for that reason, I think.
Yeah, And I think, I think the sound, the music, the
announcers, all that stuff plays to it as well.
And that's one of the reasons why I think the Hydro Thunder
thing sort of popped up in my head too.
Not just because it's it's it's racing on water, but all those
things kind of felt like if you put this in an arcade, you
could, you could, you could put quarters into this thing and
people would play it, you know, play a race for for $0.50 or for
1/4 or something like that.

And I think it would it would
work.

Surprised it wasn't.
Me too.

When you really think about it,
you you could, I would easily put a couple dollars of quarters
into this and play a few races with friends.
Even if it was two player and the and the computer was the
other two.

I I would do that.
I think it'd be.

Fun.
I would easily put a single dollar in and play and then quit
and then go do something else like Cubert.
Cubert.

Dude, then go get my ass kicked
that Mortal Kombat.

I love.
I love Galaga.

It's a great game.
Galaga. 'S good.
Yeah, Galaga's one of the classics, man.
That's that's one of the really good classics in my opinion too.
I I like that our our arcades around here were not very good.
So like they were at movie theaters and there was like 1
stand alone one.

By the time we were like 8 years
old, it was gone.

Like it was, it was just past.
Unfortunately, it was just past this time.
By the time the mid 90s came around, this was here.
So this is, you know, this is what you played instead, right?
Obviously.

Oh yeah.
For sure.

You know.
Yeah, we just we just played.

Go ahead, dude.
Oh, I was just going to say.

And then the arcades, like they
started stepping it up and they're like, Oh well, you
actually sit on a jet ski and wind blows in your face and you.
Yeah, yeah, dude.

Yeah, we had a again another
another Iowa thing.

We have what's called the Pizza
Ranch.

It's a pizza place which has a
buffet.

No, we're going to stop right
there, because I freaking love

Pizza Ranch it.
It's so.

Good.
It is so.

Good.
I miss it.

I'm from Wisconsin and we had
Pizza Ranch.

I love Pizza Ranch.
You go there, it's.

Awesome.
Dude, it's a it's like, AII guess you compare it to like
ACC's or something like it's like a pizza buffet and you go
in and they have all sorts of pizzas made.
But you go and you'd be like, is there any pizza you want?
And you're like Mac and cheese with like stuffed crust or
something.

That was very specific.
That's what my brother always ordered, actually.
It got a little bit fried chicken.
But I love it.

Fried chicken is good, dude.
And I would go in and I would get like they have soft serve
ice cream.

I would just immediately go put
soft serve ice cream in my cup and go put soda in it and make a
float.

And it was a good day every time
you went to pizza.

Ranch.
Damn, that sounds amazing.

Dude.
Oh, my God.

Dave, come on down to the
Midwest, my man.

Oh, they have this breakfast.
Or not.

Perfect this like dessert pizza
that'll blow your fucking.

It's it's pizza.
Or it's like no, that is it cactus.
It's a cinnamon one, right?

Yeah, they they also have
blueberry and they have cherry.

They have apple.
It's it's like this like crispy crust with like a like a glaze
drizzled on it with like cinnamon and sugar and like
little pie fillings.

Basically like they have a
cherry and like blueberry.

Dude, it sounds like a pie.
Like sounds like basically.

The one is like, it's like the
the like if you ever had like an apple crumbly pie, like I love
apple.

Crumble, Apple.
Crumbly.

That's what it is.
And they have an Apple version, and they have just a Cinnamon
version and it's it's Aw man.

Oh shit.
These these places still exist?

I'm still around.
Yeah, yeah, I I can drive like 20 minutes that way and go to
one right now, like a little live stream myself.
I really eat.

So I mean, I really, I really
don't trust.

I really don't trust getting it
across the border, but if you go

I will pay for the postage to
get it here.

I I don't know about that one,
man.

I think it.
Probably cost me like $65 just to get it across the border.
Oh God, you're probably better off just getting a plane ticket
and flying out, yeah?

Yeah, it's like it's like us
when people want to go to concerts or or or especially
like sporting events and stuff like that.
It's cheaper to sometimes drive to like Buffalo or to
Pennsylvania to go to the concert than to pay for it here
'cause it's so friggin expensive.
Really.

God, yeah.
Dude, it's nuts.

It's insane sometimes.
But this one?

Man.
It's.

A whole.
It's a whole state or over from me.
Oh shit.

I'm from Wisconsin, but I moved
to North Carolina, so now I'm just like, you know?
Everybody makes mistakes, dude.

What the fuck is he called this
from Wisconsin?

Culver's.
Culver's is like the shit.

I still have Culver's.
Culver's.

Still have it in North Carolina?
Do that.

Where you go, it's good.
It's Yep.

Consistency.
It's just a it's just a burger, a good burger place like.
They're just smashed with like, butter and shit.
Or, however they do it, the butter burgers.
They call it a butter burger and it's just it's just great.
Bread and butter.

Fried battered cheese curds.
Yep, cheese curds.

Oh my God, this is gonna kill me
when I look for these places next time I go down.
You know what I did?

I would take, I would take a
burger.

And this is at Culver's.
I still do it.

Take a Burr.
You open it up right?

You order some.
They have like melted cheddar cheese.
That's like it's like Nacho cheese, but it's better.
It's like 'cause it's actual cheddar is it's actual cheddar
or quote UN quote, cheddar.

You put you put that on.
Oh, it's from Wisconsin.

We don't mess around.
OK, that's cheese heads, yeah.

It's legit.
Yeah, cheese heads.

Yeah, you dump that cheese on
the burger and then you can put some deep fried cheese curds on
top and you seal it up and.

Sorry, what do you do?
What was that?

Like a like a part of the cop I
guess.

Yeah, typewriter.
Yeah, I don't love, but we had the same idea.
I know we're supposed to be talking about wave race, but but
Danny, what's like what's the best fast food in in in Canada
that you've come across or or in your are they are they
provinces?

Is that what they're called?
Not states, but like?

Provinces.
I'll connect it, OK?

What's the best food you could
see yourself eating while riding one handed on a jet ski?
You know what?

It's OK.
So I don't frequent fast food all that much like I used to.
I know.

But the the the problem with
that is like, if it's like a place that just arrived, I
wouldn't even know.

But I know you guys have these
two.

Five Guys is really damn good.
Five Guys is really good.

There's also like a couple of
like, what the Hell's it called now?
It's like, I think it's.

I think it's actually
specifically like a Toronto thing.
What the fuck is the place called?
But it's another burger joint where you get like multiple
patties for like a really good deal.
And it's just, it always just like tastes fresh.
But I will say there's one place that I don't think exists
anymore.

When we were growing up in high
school, we would go, during our lunch, the one guy who had a
car, we'd go to this place called TCS and it was a Greek
fast food place.

But they served, yeah, but they
served really like big burgers and had like a huge thing of
fries on the side, all made like, like, not not burgers out
of the freezer with like like handmade burger things.
And you'd get this amazing sort of handmade fast food.
If that even is not an oxymoron, it probably is.
And it would be, I don't know.

At the time, it was like $9,
which is like unreal now and unreal for a kid in high school
too.

So if I would go to anywhere, if
it still existed, it actually would be like a 15 minute walk
from my house for where I live now.
If it still existed that would be the one burger.
Or if I could hold the whole tray with all the fries, cause
the fries are really good.

I would do that while riding my
jet ski.

Hell.
Yeah, the fries are the best part of Five guys because they,
like, fill the bag, No.

Matter.
And they're and they're good fries, right?
Sometimes.

Sometimes you can get the burger
and the fries are just kind of like, yeah, whatever, they're
they're afterthought, which is for me.
I don't love McDonald's fries.

I know a lot of people love
them, but for me, they're just kind of like.
All right.

For me, they're the standard.
They're like, that's what you strive to be.
And if you can be better, great.

But if you're worse, I'm like,
I'm just gonna get McDonald's fries.
Yeah, that's fair.

That's fair.
But I don't expect anything exceptional out of them, but
they're always consistent.

I guess it's probably exactly
that's what and that's what they're going for.
That's the McDonald's thing, I guess, right?
So.

Let me tell you something, you
go.

To find they just exist.
Yeah, they just exist.

So you get a milkshake, right?
And you can get it with the Oreo bits in it right?
You can get like Oreo bit I just discovered You can also get the
Oreo cream which is separate.

You can get both of them
injected into your milkshake.

Oh my fucking God dude.
Dude, I'm telling you, try it.

Liquefied Oreo cookies.
Just put that in an IV and call me dead.
It's fantastic.

It's a good way to go.
It's a good way to go.

It sounds it sounds worth it.
Just by Oreo, just.

By Oreo.
Oh.

Man, all those newspapers in the
water, dude.

Yeah.
Right.

Also, I just ran into a box in
the last lap of the last race, which it's a beautiful game, so.
It actually is a really big game.
Like the graphics are really good, the water looks good, the
models look good.

Like look at look at this for
the pilot wings.

I mean, pilot wings, You were a
cylinder.

And this?
You're a full human on a jet ski.
Yeah, you know what?

That's a good point, 'cause it
came out at the same time they were essentially launch titles.
This for sure is a much more complex and better looking game
for sure.

Well, maybe, maybe not complex
in different ways.

I guess you could call it like.
Oh, I mean, I think the water.

I think so many games struggled
to make water look this good,

Even GameCube.
Era.

Even now.
I can see now now it's Unreal

Engine.
You slap a coat of paint on it.

Play.
Play Sea of Thieves and you'll probably have the best water
you.

Know that's that's what I was
gonna get too.

It's the best.
It's so good.

It's so beautiful.
Yeah.

It it reacts well and and your
ship reacts well to it.

It looks amazing whether you're
on top of it or or in the water like it's it's great.
Yeah, that that's the standard to me.
That is, it is the new standard.

It is beautiful.
Yeah, yeah.

It's amazing.
Yeah.

This has to be the standard for
BF or N64 maybe even like PS1 because like just based off of
memory Mario 64 just had it was just it was just like opaque
blue.

Like it was just just blue just
there.

And I can't think of PS1 games
where you swim but I guess I'm thinking about croc and that was
that's probably also blew.

I can't recall any games that
had water that looked like this, and it's.
There, there is none.

I mean speaking from going
through like every rare N64 game, which arguably the later
Rare games are probably some of the best looking games in the
console, Water never looked this good like this is.
It would just be blue.

It would be a little bit see
through, like a little bit transparent, or it would be blue
and it would just have.

Like there it might like have
some motion in it and that makes it look a little better I think.
But not just like wave physics and.
That's the thing.

It's it's not just the way it
looks.

It's like the way that all the
physics work with it too.

Like that matters.
It is.

Mario 64 the paintings when you
jump in and like the metal for

Yeah, yeah, that that is how
this water looks.

Yeah, looks like what's it
called?

Is it the T1000 in Terminator 2?
Is that?

That's what.
That's what going into those paintings looks like in Mario
64.

That's what I always am reminded
of.

It's something looks like, yeah.
What's his name?

He walks through the bars.
You know, Is it T1000?

Is that what the bad guy is in
in T2?

I think it's T1000.
Or is that what Terminator?

Is a liquid metal.
Yeah, liquid metal.

Yeah, exactly.
Which also at that time was like it was like ground breaking
technology to make that, which was kind of what this game has.
This is the T, the T2 of the

N64.
That that's what.

That's what this is.
T2 of the N 60.

T2 of the N64 Wave Race 64.
Boom.

Put it on the box.
OK, so I'm we're all hungry now.

It's late at night, but we
should just go get some fast food instead.
Aaron, I want to say thanks for coming on the show, man.
This was this was a blast.

And thank you for teasing me
with really good fast food that

a chance to have.

That's fine man.
Thank you for having me on and also indulging me with some some
Canadian goodies that I'll have to check out if I if I ever
happened to cross the border over there someday.

Canada for for, you know, I
don't know if if if Jiggy has ever seen Handmaid's Tale, but
it's pretty fucked.

It's it's pretty fucked.
It's all, it's all filmed in

Toronto and a few of them other
the like the fancy houses where they live and stuff is like 15
minutes for me.

It's like down the street it's

it's very good.

It's a very tough watch but it's
