You're listening to the Sans Pants Network.
SPEAKER_2 (0:07)
Like it possibly, you're wrong.
Joel Duscher (0:08)
Time is money, and video games cost money, and no one has any time, which means no one has any money.
Demos, no time, and no money. Welcome to Demonstrober.
Jackson B. Baly (0:22)
More like Demon-strober. Mwa ha ha ha ha!

Just...
SPEAKER_2 (0:55)
Whoa.
Joel Duscher (0:55)
Cue the boys are back in town.
Because today we're joined by Adam Carnevale. Hello. Cue the boys are back in town. And as you would have just heard at the start of the episode, it's Demonstrober.
Jackson B. Baly (1:13)
Exactly. Or Demonstrober, because it is October, the Halloween month.
Joel Duscher (1:17)
Well, we're celebrating demos this month because there's a lot out there. And if you've got any, like a PC, any gaming console, if it connects to the internet, chances are...
Jackson B. Baly (1:26)
You can get a demo.
Joel Duscher (1:27)
And also demos, there's a lot of them and they're weird and they're back also.
Jackson B. Baly (1:32)
Yeah. Well, one, they're back and they're a great way to find out if you're going to like a game or not.
Joel Duscher (1:36)
Oh, one of the best ways.
Jackson B. Baly (1:37)
Can I say? Although I do, sometimes I don't like what a demo shows me of the game. Do you find that where you go...
Adam Carnevale (1:43)
Isn't that the point?
Jackson B. Baly (1:44)
Yeah, no, but I mean, as in...
Joel Duscher (1:46)
You want to taste, you don't want to eat half the meal.
Jackson B. Baly (1:49)
Exactly, absolutely. And sometimes they give me half the meal.
Adam Carnevale (1:51)
So the demo goes for too long.
Jackson B. Baly (1:53)
No, it's that it gives me too much of the game. Not necessarily that it goes for too long.
Joel Duscher (1:58)
We can get into demos I like versus demos I don't love. But I think... DILFs.
There's obviously DILFs, demos I love.
SPEAKER_2 (2:10)
I guess that's actually DILFs, excuse me.
Joel Duscher (2:13)
DILFs, I love DILFs, yeah.
Adam Carnevale (2:16)
Demos I'd love to f*** this shit up.
Jackson B. Baly (2:18)
Strike one, Adam.
Joel Duscher (2:19)
Come on, dude. Come on, we haven't even said the game yet. Yeah, exactly. We're in the intro.
Adam Carnevale (2:24)
I don't know, you've started instituting a strike system, but I'm scared. This is not my first strike, this is not my first strike.
Joel Duscher (2:31)
Yeah.
Adam Carnevale (2:31)
But I'm scared as to what happens when I get to strike three.
Jackson B. Baly (2:34)
Oh, you'll find out.
Joel Duscher (2:34)
Well, yeah, you better be. Then you'll be on strike four.
Adam Carnevale (2:36)
You should be afraid. Listen back to a Levens or a Ruby episode to find out.
Jackson B. Baly (2:42)
Yeah, to find out what happens after strike three. Let me tell you, it's no good.
Joel Duscher (2:45)
And look, hey, if people skipped last week for any reason, one, what are you doing?
Two, I think we got to strike 35 Whoa. Oh my God.
Adam Carnevale (2:55)
Oh, so I've got a bit of landing room.
Joel Duscher (2:56)
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Jackson B. Baly (2:59)
You don't want four strikes, four, five.
Adam Carnevale (3:02)
I thought it was three.
Joel Duscher (3:03)
You would hate six.
SPEAKER_2 (3:04)
Yeah.
Joel Duscher (3:05)
Now there's deals and ds. Yeah. Ds.
Demos I love and demos I hate.
SPEAKER_2 (3:10)
Yeah.
Joel Duscher (3:11)
Ds. Ds. Or deal. Yeah. And I find that my ds, Yeah. Demos that are vertical slice. I don't want a vertical slice. Yeah. I prefer.
Adam Carnevale (3:20)
Horizontal.
Jackson B. Baly (3:22)
No. What's a horizontal slice demo look like?
Joel Duscher (3:25)
It's the whole game, but it sucks because none of the good stuff's in it yet.
Adam Carnevale (3:30)
It's like a whole game, but you only get one out of the three upgrades.
Joel Duscher (3:34)
Yeah, it's like, well, yeah, yeah. But I like a demo that's just like, hey, here's the start of the game.
