Sacred Symbols, Episode 310 | The Waves Keep on Crashing on Me For Some Reason

After a flurry of activity, we find ourselves in a bit of a lull. And frankly, that's good. We could all use a little bit of a rest. Doing so allows us to catch up, refresh, and anticipate what lies behind the next undoubtedly-busy corner. With E3's multi-pronged replacement readying a barrage of announcements and other newsworthy bits, let's clear what's on our plate at present. Firewalk's divisive Concord has been given a (compelling?) price, PSVR2 is receiving its long-rumored PC adapter, WB loses $200 million on Rocksteady's Suicide Squad game, the original Halo is rumored for release on PS5, and much more. Listener inquiries wrap things up, per usual. Does Astro Bot have the potential to be PlayStation's next big IP? Do Chinese games deserve more respect? Why doesn't PlayStation Network allow you to buy digital titles for your friends? Is Colin a psychopath for embracing the 'sock-shoe, sock-shoe' lifestyle?

Legalize ranch

Jake Nunley

I laughed so hard about the shoe/sock thing I had to pull the damn car over.

Joseph Baker

You can get a budget 4k gaming tv for that price, yes. I had a TCL that was around that price point.

Carl Johnson

I am so relieved to hear Dustin would take Ranch over Ketchup. Ranch is mids at best but Ketchup is the worst. I’d much rather just take that chicken (nugget) raw.

Adam Bogues

Colin, how dare you disrespect ranch. Also, ranch does not belong on pizza.

Jerry Huerta

Yoooooo... Just toss those soggy fries in the air fryer, boys. In 2-3 minutes you're back in business. Air fryers have practically usurped the microwave at this point.

Kevin Cooper

Listening to this crew talk about TV technology is painful....I realize not everyone is a home theater enthusiast, but you think they'd be somewhat knowledgeable about the tech and how it pertains to gaming. Dustin isn't clueless but Chris and Colin appear to be. "You can get an amazing TV for $250".

Michael Brennan

Chris I don’t understand your comments on Astro Bot, the whole reason it is connecting with people is the nostalgic aspect to it, seeing all the PS accessories, characters, etc, playing a role in this little world is what makes it so special. The whole reception to it online (at least from my twitter) appears to be positive!

Cormac

Sock-shoe is an all-time moment for this show!

Omar Rosa

Holy shit, hahaha Colin needs to get a CAT scam after the sock-shoe fiasco.

Andrew Christensen

These ranch opinions are off. Come to the Midwest and try some ranch that isn’t Hidden Valley.

Patrick Treanor

The 8k spiel was probably a marketing gimmick. AMD and NVIDIA try it a while back until Gamer's Nexus actually tested it and it disappeared just as quickly. Someone in Sony PR probably caught wind of something or stumbled on Gamer's Nexus and nix the idea to prevent a marketing snafu. High fidelity 1080/60 under $500 is barely a thing. Probably better off not poking the 8k bear until 4k/60 is something the PR team can say without raising eyebrows.

AngelOfCake

There’s no way he’s that much of a nerd

Adam Barnes

Ive been trying to unplug and reduce screen time by timing my apps but holy crap is it hard wired into me now. The moment my Instagram started timing out i noticed myself using youtube reels a lot more...

Reuben Barrett

I dont know if I can support Colin anymore after hearing the sock thing.

Bailey Callis

As someone who was hyped for Nier and played the original day 1, I FLIPPED OUT when Automata was announced years ago. More shocking than the announcement of a sequel was that the IP even beccame popular, as ended up being the case. I say this in response to Dustin's sepcific example accompanying his remarks about being less excited by announcements as someome in his stage of life. I can relate to that feeling.

Lunar Tear

Baby’s name is definitely Sora

SnipaMasta

I feel like everyone is way too nostalgic for E3. 80% of it was about games you didn’t care about. The modern set up is way better and only problematic if you for some reason feel the need to watch every showcase.

Diddy’s Dong Quest

Maybe TLOU2 on PC was originally planned to launch with the Factions project, where Factions would launch simultaneously on PS and PC, like the other multiplayer PlayStation games recently.

Manuel Nascimento

I won't tolerate the CRT slander from Colin, especially for gaming on older consoles or DVDs etc, CRTs are magical.

David D

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Adam Barnes

It’s funny that the console can really not do 8k, 4k, or 120fps but they’re on the box. Want near 4k? 30fps. Most games max at 60fps at 1080p or sub resolution.

DeucesBruh

Colin is deff autistic. Sock shoe sock…

Bob Sacamano

Huge L on the ranch take.

Caleb Peacock

Overwatch was released for 40$ , overwatch 2 was free to play

Brandon Tyler

Or just wear any bands t shirt u want

Brandon Tyler

mitchel0001

Colin should play the Turok remasters.

Haru Discourse

It's sock shoe sock shoe for me lmao

lazer_josh

Unaminaminity

Joe Perez

Team Sock / Shoe / Sock / Shoe

Ross Stoddart

Sock/Shoe fucking killed me. 🤣 Surprised you guys are fine with Conchord being $40. Big complaint I kept hearing was it should be Free to Play like Overwatch.

NeO JD

The whole LSM as a whole can fuck off with the ranch dressing take. Not my fault you eat like a trash panda and have no taste lol I'll take shots of ranch and dip every god damn thing I can in it

Michael Hedrick

I don't think Concord will get a fair shake at all. People are complaining non stop about psn and pc and honestly, while I understand the "Marvel writing" dislike, you can't have a quirky or comedic character without that comparison anymore. I feel like I remember people being negative or downplaying Helldivers because they didn't show anything, which meant it was gonna be bad. I don't play these games so it doesn't matter to me, but the "hot take" culture and bandwagoning always is just repeated jokes vs. any actual constructive criticism or how it can be better.

Ryan Wargo

Ranch on pizza crust is 10/10

Ib Saint

First time in a while I’ve wanted to audibly belt out at a podcast

Noah Friscopp

The Mechanics, jump in the fire, metal militia, and phantom lord all credit Mustaine, the first 2 being entirely composed by him. And he's responsible for the chord that the entirety of call of ktulu is built off of. And is credited for ride the lightnings title track (the part with the "spider chord") But sure. Other than that, not much of a contributor.

46 Fucks

ChrisColinDustinFurman, I worked on labor and delivery as a surgeon’s assistant for 16 years until the vaccine mandate. It becomes “urgent” for a baby to be delivered at 42 weeks. Full term is 41. ‘Overdue’ babies come out covered in their intrauterine shit (called meconium), and the placenta begins to both calcify and solidify; it goes without saying these are very bad things. An old placenta is an ineffective placenta, as it loses its ability to transfer oxygen and nutrients through the placental walls. Bear in mind that a baby that comes out in its meconium is not always late, it is a common side effect of fetal distress; if any of you encounter that, it’s not a hard and fast proof that it’s overdue. Any more questions about babies, the baby making process, or the extrication thereof, AMA 🫡👨🏽‍🍼

Saint947

Holy shit. 5 minutes in, and I'm already losing my mind about how wrong all the wrong Metallica/Megadeth talk was. Other than St Anger having the worst snare drum sound of all time

Ryan Zimm

Jason newsteads bass playing wasn't boring Ir was just inaudible. Jason is a sick bass player and there are tracks on YouTube where people have increased the volume and isolated the tracks. And it was only and justice for all with this problem. The 90s era albums had immaculate mixes that still hold up

brody_low

Short ass episode wtf

brody_low

Master Roshi is an absolute deviant.

Colin Moriarty

I will not this ranch slander

Brandon Tyler

Yyoooooo Dustin! Shout out to the Dixxon flannel, baby. Hell yeah 🙌

Adam Barnes

Colin humping a body pillow wearing his long t-shirt and no underwear is gross

Vanzant

Henry Ford would be rolling in his grave if he knew how Colin put his shoes on

Michael Thew

Honestly, the boys have picky child palates. It’s kinda crazy. Not saying I love ranch but saying it’s awful is a wild statement.

Colin Moriarty

Ok so with the Metallica story, Dave Mustaine was the lead guitarist when Metallica first formed but was such a drunk and burnout they fired him abit before “Kill’em All” and hired Kirk Hammett. Mustaine wrote the mechanix (The 4 horseman) and that’s the only stamp he put on the band. He then founded Megadeth. Cliff Burton was the original bassist, who is well known for writing both Anesthesia (Kill’em All) and Orion (Master of Puppets). He died in ‘86 because of a tour bus accident in Sweden at the age of 24. The second bassist was Jason Newstad and yes his bass tracks where intentionally muted on Justice to haze him for being Cliff replacement. But he did 4 albums and Garage Days between 88-2000. Famously left the band during the movie “Some kind of Monster” which is a documentary to the shitty St Anger. They then did open tryouts for a new bassist and Robert Trujillo (Suicidal Tendencies and Ozzy) was hired with a 1 million dollar hiring bonus and has been crab walking for then ever since. Top 3 (4) Metallica albums in any order, Load (I was 15 when it released for context of why I loved it), Death Magnetic and a tie between the Black album and Puppets.

Michael Thew

The sock shoe conversation was gold

GameSimp

Y’all are fucking insane lmao ranch is amazing. 😂

D'Ante Almo

Killed me 😂

The Devmeister

Daddy wants some puff puff 😂 😝

The Devmeister

The first hour of this weeks show is legitimately hilarious every topic was laugh out loud funny

iain mcmanus

This slit talk made me almost crash my car laughing so hard, thank you guys 😂😂

Geoff

I imagine Colin cleaning his pool by having to fish out the multiple disposable bongs he has floating around.

Have you considered considering considerations considerately considerate

I wonder where Dustin gets the idea that Jason's bass playing is boring. Pretty sure they start AJFA with one of his riffs, being the first riff on blackened after the backwards fade-in. He definitely got his chance to shine more on the black album though. Honestly I'm more upset at the absolute squandering of the talent that is Rob Trujillo. Dudes a monster, listen to almost any Infectious Grooves song. Best bassist they've had and it's not even close. I'm convinced it's in his contract that he is only allowed to use 5% of his talent.

46 Fucks

Sock shoe sock shoe so I don't have to bring my leg up multiple times 🤷‍♂️

latenitecali

Colin is lying about his body pillow length because he didn’t want to feed into the narrative that the pillow is clearly in his crotch area and therefore he’s grinding on it. Make him go get the pillow and hold it up next to himself on video. He won’t. Chris was onto him but can only push so far. 0% of MyPillow’s body pillows are the length he’s describing. They run head to toe. Body pillow-gate starts now.

Jimmer

ʸᵒᵘ ˡⁱᵏᵉ ᵗᵒ ᵍᵉᵗ ᶜʰᵒᵏᵉᵈ﹖

Meatball

Yeah Curb post season 8 is horrible and i agree is a caricature of itself. It’s too goofy, the arguments and situations feel forced whereas in the past they came off as natural. There was much more nuance to everything. I actually wish it had ended with the new york season, then it would be a pretty much perfect show

Matthew Christ

Geezus, it sounds like a king size pillow. Not a body pillow. I’m gonna send a black light to the PO Box so you can scan that ball sweat pillow. #pillowgate

Michael Mashpotato

Love you guys! Keep it up!

Nicholas Renaud

Thank you as always fellas! Makes the day easier to get through.

Yiorgos

Best day evwr

Jordan Dedo
