Nintendo Gigaleak Dissected, KFConsole & More - Tempcast #19 (Christmas Special!)

podcast_art_banner_smol-png.222446

In this week's holiday special, we discuss the new 'gigaleak' from Nintendo's servers, which contained details on the 3DS's unreleased successor and the company’s anti-piracy ninja strategies. Afterwards, we give our thoughts about the new big player in the console wars, KFC, announcing their newest console made in collaboration with Cooler Master. There's more stuff discussed in this podcast as well but I guess you’ll just have to listen to find out.

I want to apologize for the gatekeeping I did in regards to Wendy not being a real gamer because she games on a phone. Women can game however they want and it’s valid.

I also want to apologize to alanjohn because I’m pretty sure I wore out the bleep button on his computer this episode.

I still don't think Nintendo is planting "bad stuff" on hackers but I am 100% convinced that Hillary Clinton is Yellows8 and invented Sky3DS.

I honestly hoped you guys would actually discuss the fact that K-Fucking-C made a better console than Nintendo.
Jokes aside, it seems appealing to me. No, really.
And what's with all the free propaganda? You guys should ask for Clitori Hinton to sponsor your podcast.

Clitori Hinton is the evil Clinton's third cousin who's apparently leaked Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill SNES rom in revenge for the Lewinsky incident...
Fun fact: Clitori Hinton looks a lot like Monica... but thinner.
Clitori Hinton loves Squirt too...

I didn't know Game facts existed until it was mentioned in the podcast.

I still don't, I didn't even Google it.

Really guys, political jokes? On Christmas? What's next, talking about Sports games for new year?

Actually did we even have any decent sports game this year? Is Spiderman Miles Morales a Football game or something?

Sneak King... was not terrible but don't go for 100% Completion.

Also, were you guys drunk when doing the podcast?

Yeah! I agree, screw all those timezones! The only ones that matter are Texas and anything Texas-adjacent!

So that's why they did the poscast while drunk?

I don’t know that there is a conversation to be had about the KFConsole without jokes, since the device itself is so clearly one. Given the performance it promises and the vagueness of the specs, plus the absurdity of having a heating unit inside a console, it just can’t be real. Even if it was, it’d be absurdly expensive and quickly out of date, like any console really. I think, if this thing ever releases, it’ll only be able to play Atari games or something, and that’s how it’s able to achieve 240fps 4K VR.

Well, I guess that was my joke-free thoughts on the KFConsole, if you were curious.

Assuming it's specs *it's nothing but* propaganda to the likes of Souljaboy's consoles... then it's pretty much fucking elaborated.

To be fair, the whole KFC Console is paradoxical by way of its gimmick.

To get a remotely decent amount of heat exhaust to warm those chicken, this rig needs to be perpetually riding the Thermal Throttle line and having properly-specced hardware defeats this purpose.

Unless, that is, its heating chamber is running on Marketing hot air ...

Or they just glued an electric food heater to a cheap portable game thing that plugs in the TV.

I mean, it's not like the idea is original or anything, now that I remember the following cringe:

The main issue I find with the KFC is that it promotes eating fried chicken while playing video games. That's just asking for greasy controllers. They should make some kind of corn starch cover for the controller to counter that.
I (jokingly) mention this in the podcast when introducing the topic. The grease will keep your fingers nice and slippery so you can just glide across the controller. Friction is a thing of the past with the KFConsole.

    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
