hey everyone welcome welcome to
non-topical so we're just let
everybody know we're going to
try
to change things up a little
bit not in terms of like being
more random with topics or
whatever
we're just going to hit record
and walk and try not to talk
about the fact that this is a
podcast
and just talk about whatever
comes to mind which is kind of
the original inspiration now
thank hit for pointing that out
to me is that over time it's
become more of a podcast and
less of a
walking around and just
chatting while we're walking
type of thing so that's what we
're going
to try to do we're going to try
to just throw the mics on
whenever we're walking driving
whatever
and whatever comes of it comes
of it so yeah in in your
eternal words sir what you want
to talk about
you know i'm going to take your
cue i'm feeling i'm feeling
this vibe and given how close
this episode
will be releasing to a certain
game release i can't help but
want to take you up on your
offer
so sometimes when kit and i are
walking we tell stories as you
know we make movies we make
movies we tell
stories and there was one that
we told that wasn't recorded
because we didn't have to quote
unquote record
which again brings me to the
point of we're just going to
wear the microphones more often
while we're walking because
then some of the most best
conversations the most bestest
conversations
the most bestest the most best
est con oh don't walk on the new
grass walk around anyway the
most bestest
conversations sometimes get
missed so what is the title of
the new game that's coming out
because i keep
forgetting because it's just
the progalactic rogue core the
cores have gone rogue well that
's that's
that's the line from the
trailer the core has gone rogue
the core has gone rogue roll
credits roll credits yes indeed
so anyway because in in
celebration shall we say of
rogue core coming out kit
before we recorded was like
well you know we already told
this story while we were
walking so it'd be but i i
think i don't remember all the
fine details of it so i think i
remember a bit because we were
gonna do a sequel to it but
when we were
honest that we we didn't record
the first one yeah so we're
gonna do the second draft of of
this
but first of all before we
continue i i do have to say
that once again the the holly
wood deal
and video game licensing deal
now comes into play so uh what
's the company behind drg or
deep rock
ghost ship games and coffee
stain publishing okay so ghost
ship and coffee stain and any
other major hollywood studios
here's the deal
we're we're gonna throw our
idea out there if you like it
and want to use it
you you gotta pay us a certain
fixed fee plus five percent of
the gross not the net not your
creative accounting that makes
it seem like the money the
movie makes no money even if
you do this as a web series net
flix series
doesn't matter we get five
percent of whatever you get
paid period plus uh
this is a hot property
yeah
what do you think start fifty
thousand and yeah fifty
thousand for the story
we present to you ladies and
gentlemen deep rock galactic
the story of carl yes that's
right we
all know about carl but we don
't really know what his story is
and why it is that he's uh come
into
why it is that he has such
prestige and renown in the
world of the dwarves now for
those who
haven't played deep rock gal
actic or drg as we call it it is
a game that essentially
combines
dwarves mining a space rock
with starship troopers so they
get attacked by bugs and have
to wreck the
bugs and there is i don't know
who what his name is but there
's a guy that's like in command
mission control mission control
he's not really in command he
still has to report to
management
but he sends down their resupp
ly pods and hacking pods and all
sorts of stuff in the drop so
mission
control is this guy that for
the most part tries to keep a
lid on things like in the game
if you kick
barrels around if you tap on
the glass for specimen
containers you know if you ping
gold too much if
you ping gold too much if you
dance for too long if you drink
too much beer you know he he's
there to
kind of rein you in and to act
annoyed and so what we do is we
start off we start off with
mission control guy you know
being annoyed with something
and people walk by his office
and they're like oh you know
what a crotchety old son of a
bitch you know what a what a
jerk you know
we can't stand him you know
what a guy in mission control
he really has a cozy job yeah
he has a cozy
job but what a blowhard like he
's never been out in the
trenches and so we walk in in
first person view
and we sit down in his office
and he turns and he says you
know i hear how they talk about
me
i hear what they think but they
they don't know the real story
they don't realize that i
played a critical role in this
epic campaign one that will go
down in history
or went down in history of
dwarfdom and one that made a
name for the greatest dwarf
among us
ah see among us
and of course the rest of the
movie is going to play back as
a flashback with maybe some
additional
flash forwards to go back to
the storytelling some
additional narration from good
old mission control
good old mission control and if
possible so i i see this as
being a an animated feature
that uses the original
character models but just up
rest you know we have to i mean
you might even
want to keep it as the good old
drg style just with better
lighting more stylized lighting
yeah well
but also the animation has to
be a little bit better because
like the movements of the mouth
yeah and
and everything so we might have
to up rest things a little bit
like let's just elevate it a
bit i mean i know road core has
uh is a bit more up rest so
maybe a similar style for that
so it all started when i was a
young recruit
lonely green beard lonely green
beard and drg was putting
together one of its you know
first explorations on now are
we gonna i forgot hoxys four ho
xys four and he's will we say he
's what a scout no i think carl
would be a scout carl would be
a scout so engineer
uh didn't we he looks kind of
like gunner okay so we'll make
him a gunner he gets assigned
to you know carl's team and car
l's obviously the leader he uh
he has experience this company
is fairly
new but he's been with it since
the beginning since the
beginning and he's kind of
built a bit of a name of
himself not the legendary
status that he will later have
but he's a good leader he's not
overly strict but
you know these guys are on
their first drop and they're
getting ready to drop down to
hoxys
and obviously the new guys are
nervous yep and so
he kind of not an entire drill
sergeant type approach i would
say you don't want him to be
too gruff but you want
to be both reassuring and at
the same time like all right
boys let's get out there and
show them our
medal you know or whatever you
know yeah so they're on their
first mission and uh they land
and you have
the kind of spooky planet
atmosphere going on and maybe
you have them find some like
gold and minerals like
oh man this is sweet and then
at that point in time there was
no real mission control the way
there is
now there's nobody monitoring
you could automatically like
request drop pods and stuff
yeah but you're
pretty much on your own it's
the wild west you initially
have them exploring and being
creeped out
don't really do any jump scares
or anything no bugs yet no bugs
they're probably in the upper
layers of
boxes maybe maybe have a loot
bug like yeah that's the jump
scare and in the game the loot
bugs are
like these giant tick looking
things they're very friendly
they're very friendly they'll
let you pet them
and they eat minerals eat
minerals and then when you
shoot them they explode and the
minerals explode
everywhere out of their guts it
'd be really funny if there if
there was just a random bit of
comedy
with one of them trying to pull
them and roll away from a loot
bug maybe yeah that would be
great you
know you have a moment it's
like hey that gold's mod and
the loot bugs just like trying
to munch it down
hey come on just let him have
it there's plenty more where
that came from you know so now
we cut away from
the mission because the mission
isn't the entire thing of
course not and i'm trying to
remember so
we cut to rival company yeah
rival tech that's the name of
the company well i mean they're
just referred
to as the rivals we don't
really know what they're called
so we we cut to rival corp or
whatever their
name is we maybe they'll be
given a name at another time
but they're talking about hey
you know this
young upstart company drg is
moving in on our turf and it's
like well no like they they
kind of been
doing their own thing like we
we weren't even there look did
i stutter i said they're moving
in on our turf
this is unacceptable and i
think it's a scenario where the
rival company doesn't even
necessarily
realize what's going on down
there yeah so i mean because
when you see them in the game
they're just
they're just prospecting they
they just collect data yeah so
they're they're data mining
yeah
that's what they do they're
data mining so they're doing
their data mining thing but
they're not happy
with drg going down and
actually starting to get
minerals when they've barely
you know started doing
the reconnaissance they're
going to maybe you know send
down a little surprise for drg
to stumble across
in the deeper or upper regions
of hoxus yeah and maybe or
maybe not this equipment might
get corrupted by
some influence later on that
they weren't anticipating
perhaps they'll lose control
over it oh no so it's
going to be a new thing then
well sort of but i mean that's
that's a known phenomena that's
happened i
mean there's there's plenty of
times right now i'm saying like
a new robot yeah the rival yes
so
there'll be new some new
investigative robot or some
defensive robot yeah probably
that initially is
there just to kind of scare drg
but we won't run into that
until later so meanwhile we cut
back to the
dwarves and they're they're
doing their mining thing you
know and they're wandering
around and
and one guy you know takes off
a little bit on his own and car
l tries to warn hey don't go too
far off
the beaten track yeah but like
there's this loose dirt here we
could we could explore further
this is
the furthest that any team has
ever gone i do like the sound
of that but let's just be
cautious eh so
driller drills through the dirt
and they go in probably like a
primitive version of the new of
the
titanium drills yeah we have to
obviously we can't have it be
the og hasn't even invested in
moderate
equipment yet yeah no they're
still in the development phases
they don't even know if they
want to go to
hawks yeah i want to say like
they drill into a nest well no
no that would be too quick what
we want to
do is have them drill into an
area that is just like a cave
that has like a ton of like
amazing minerals or something
like they
accidentally drilled into a ge
ode or something and like they
get to the end of dirt patch
and the drill is like oh i'm
hitting some hard stuff now and
carl's like well can you push
through oh i i could push
through anything you know pure
hubris yep
so they they drill into this ge
ode and they get in and it's
just gorgeous absolutely they
're like oh wow
would it be gold yeah let's let
's do we want to go with gold or
more kite i i thought the mark
height was
going to be the end one because
they don't they don't find out
about the more kite shields
until later
well or liquid more kite maybe
we have the liquid more kite at
the end like that that's like
really
where the big battle takes
place big oil maybe it's a
giant well of more kite yeah
and that's where
the well gets set on fire at
some point we'll get there yeah
it's giving too far ahead yeah
and that's
probably how things go wrong
but it could just could just be
like yeah i guess it could just
be like a small
little thing of market yeah i
mean it doesn't take much like
once you set an oil well on
fire things go
wrong really quick yeah same
more than the geode like can't
be the whole geode because
those things are
massive right but you know so
so they're sitting in there
marveling at whatever is in
these geodes
they're just taken aback about
like the gold or whatever and
then nitro geode maybe yeah but
and
more kite probably and then
okay one of them the beauty
music starts to slowly drop off
and turn ominous
one of the doors is like hey do
you guys hear something and
they all kind of stop and carl
being
the most experienced and being
the scout of course he he moves
up towards like another
entrance in the geode
listening and he's sitting
there for a minute and you want
to hold on that shot of him
just sitting
there slowly working looking
around the corner and then bam
grunt jumps right out
fall back fall back and that's
when they get their first taste
of the real glifids the real
one
the dwarves get in their first
real battle i mean carl's seen
action before but these newbies
really haven't so carl is kind
of directing them as they go
like okay you engineer i need i
need
i need platforms here here and
here and put down one of those
damn sentry guns
you driller where's your flamet
hrower now so he's really
directing them around and they
get through
the first wave of enemies that
they're gonna run into probably
just like some grunts and swarm
ers yes
made punched up a bit to make
them feel more threatening
right they're they're still the
weaklings right
but in the process somebody
throws a grenade or something
and it collapses the entrance
they came from
so they have no choice but to
go into the direction of where
the enemies came from do they
have they
probably have a molly with them
yeah yeah i forgot we we have
to have molly in there somehow
yeah and we
have to use some of the quint
essential lines like get over
here you lazy mule or yeah just
take your time
old lady i'll be here all day
yeah or whatever you know so
you got to pull some of the
lines from the
game and shoehorn them in
because because the mules did
exist beforehand right right
because betsy
existed beforehand i mean keep
in mind they talked about
having real mules so maybe they
i don't think
it would be that far back
because they said my my
grandfather oh okay all right
that's fine they're
not they're not that old well i
do think maybe at some point
like molly gets disabled and
they they have
a moment i don't know when that
will be in the story not now so
they take a deep breath the
audience
takes a deep breath they have
an ominous moment like well
mates looks like there's only
one way to go
so they go into the the the
dark cave and we fade to black
we cut back to actual drg
headquarters headquarters
headquarters yeah management
whatever it's not mission
control but it's like the
corporate
they still get telemetry off of
yeah and so they're looking
like hey team seven we've lost
their signal
and then and and then they also
see like sir there's something
else well what is it there
appears to be
an atmospheric disturbance
coming from you know over here
it looks like something's
entering the planet's
atmosphere oh no it's heading
right for team seven oh boy can
anybody contact them no sir
they're
completely cut off how long
would it take us to get a
rescue mission down there too
long yeah or something
to that effect like we have to
have it so that it's look a
little bit campy is fine yeah
they don't have
space rig 17 up there yet yeah
no they just have their their
one command ship far out and
just in the system
maybe for funzi you know this
would be a nice little cameo uh
or homage maybe like we have a
piece of
space junk that's rotating
around the planet that's in the
shape of a dog bone for those
of you that
don't know that's mystery
science theater 3000 you have
the little reference when you
're doing a shot of hoxies
so the dwarves are now starting
to go into the darker tunnel
and they're throwing flares
along the way now
because of the time shifting of
this that does not necessarily
mean that the thing that's
coming through
the atmosphere is also
happening at the same time as
them going into this cave yeah
it'll happen in the
near future for them but you
have to kind of set up a uh
tension tension you have to set
up that this
is going to happen and so
meanwhile they're going into
this cave for channel and they
're starting to find
some better minerals like first
of all we we have to have them
find some top tier beer
ingredients yeah like oh my
gosh
look at these starch nuts
it's been like years since
anybody's seen any of these do
you know what kind of brews we
can make with these
next level lloyd is gonna love
us
and so they're gathering this
yep and what they don't realize
is there's a cave leech oh no
right
above the meatball love the
meatball right above him there
's a cave leech carl's like i i
look i know this
is excited but we need to watch
and uh the it could just be
anyone hear that hissing sound
and then yep
and so like the gunner gets
captured so mission control guy
gets captured not
and he's being whipped around
it's like comedic like it's
like ah
they're trying to shoot and
they're like be careful you don
't want to hit him and it's like
and it has that moment where
like it the thing whips him
towards the camera and then you
do that slow
motion like like that's the one
time when i think that would be
appropriate
and then carl being the level
head one quick freeze grenade
or cryo grenade
and and then all the tentacles
shatter all that well we got to
keep the comedy here yeah all
the
tentacles freeze and he's like
oh thanks mate and then you
hear yeah okay
all right so they've conquered
this they've gotten these
starch nuts and then they hear
so so this is a
much less serious movie then
right we we want it to be
serious when it needs to be
yeah i i think the
sequel would be more serious
like it has to in my opinion it
has to have moments of comedy i
'm not
saying to make the whole thing
comedy but these are dwarves
that are in difficult
circumstances so
they're gonna make jokes they
're gonna do things to keep the
pressure off of them because in
high
pressure situations what you do
in reality to ease the tension
of those situations you tell
jokes you goof
around even though it's serious
you still goof around it's like
soldiers in war don't just sit
there and be like oh it's all g
ung-ho all the time like they're
telling jokes in the foxholes
when
they're nervous they're doing
all sorts of things when they
're nervous yeah so that's
really what
has to continue but you don't
need to do all the time yeah so
i think like one or two funny
scenes and
obviously some jokes here or
there perfectly fine so they
get past the the cave leech
somebody else sees
a glowy thing up on the ceiling
they're like is that another
one oh no that that's just a bu
bonacle
well not a bubonacle those
weaken the roof a bit but we're
not going to worry about that
for now
we need to worry about getting
out of here and so they think
they've gotten through like a
big encounter
they're going away all of a
sudden you hear like a a kind
of gurgling like noise
or something i i don't know
what is the how would you
describe the the noise of the
the green butts
uh but wait the praetorians
like like for when they shoot
no just like when they're
approaching
uh they kind of have like a
bubbly growl i would say okay
so they're like you know like a
low ground
you know we're glad we survived
that and then you hear that you
hear that that that that that
noise that the praetorian makes
yeah and carl's like oh like
and and probably a bit of stom
ping
yep because it's pretty big so
it busts through the wall it
starts you know wreaking havoc
they're once again like
completely in an ambush
situation somebody's trying to
like pickaxe the front
of it and gets knocked across
the cave it it grabs onto the
pickaxe and then it flings them
off of it
yeah that type of thing so they
're an epic battle like somebody
like their armor gets spit on
and they
notice that it's starting to
dissolve they got to take off
the armor quickly you know but
they they
still have like their breathing
apparatus underneath it but now
they're not armored yeah once
again i think
it should be the mission
control guy that that happens
to because that'll set up like
why he gets
injured later on i mean you can
't have him always be the
helpless one that's he has to
do with
something cool that's true
maybe he he like takes the lost
armor damage but then he's the
one that
power attacks it in in the back
he's the scout he has a shotgun
no carl's the scout what carl's
the scout
carl's the scout that's right
okay so then what weapon uh i
mean he has the bulldog so
which is like a
four there's there's a thing
for it that looks like a revol
ver so you could have
that framework for a similar
one where like you see it spin
and he only has one bullet left
or something
yeah we could we could do that
but let's so it gets to the
point where like you have one
guy who was
trying to axe the thing he's
been thrown even like carl is
down is about to get attacked
and
during the battle you know carl
's yelling somebody get behind
it somebody get behind it and
nobody's
able to get back there like the
thing is using its giant like
legs to just like knock people
left and
right shield itself it's shield
ing itself and finally like
right as it's about to munch on
carl
our friend from mission control
takes out his weapon dives
behind it and just manages to
get that one perfect shot
right on the bugs ass
and you see the bug like kind
of like do that like animated
like
boom and like just explodes and
of course the guts get all over
everybody yeah yeah they're
just like
oh this is not what i signed up
for today
you know or something i don't
know there's got to be some
kind of funny like not even
funny but just
like some throwaway line yeah
at that point you know they
start getting their stuff back
to all right
guys how are we doing on ammo i
don't know we're running a bit
low i've got this much left
this other
guy's got that much left uh
drill like takes off his pack
and shows his two his two like
fuel containers
still a flamethrower yep so
they're all running low at this
point but the the the praet
orian breaking
through the wall or the ceiling
has opened up a communication
channel back to base so what
happens
now is you have home base is
like finally uh you know team
seven team seven can you hear
us now like
or like you cut back to home
base sir we're getting telemet
ry again quick reach out to them
yeah let them know so like
maybe you know we have to have
a throwaway shot later or
sometime earlier where that
thing
crashes okay so thing crashes
into the surface burrows down
which thing the the thing that
enemy corp has said
yes but the rival tech thing
rival tech thing so i think
that it's best that team seven
not be aware
of rival tech thing yeah like
they didn't hear it coming but
we have to have a throwaway
shot of it
like hitting the area and then
sitting there starting to move
around it's dark at first and
then like
the orange lights start to
light up so wait the orange
lights light up it starts
moving around and then
you kind of pull the camera
back and there's some like
infector or whatever they're
called uh the charge
suckers the rock box can only
affect the living things but
the charge suckers like are for
machinery they
they stop electricity so you so
you pull back and you show like
the charge suckers looking over
like so
initially it seems like rival
tech they got this under
control it's their bad guy that
we're going to be
facing but then you pull back
and you show the charge sucker
serves you know charge suckers
yeah grunt
groaning or whatever over
looking it yeah all right so
that happens maybe that happens
after they they see the
incoming atmospheric
disturbance or maybe it happens
sometime like during another
downtime yeah
but the point is is that now
team seven is back into
communication with home base
and they're like team seven you
need to ascend immediately you
need to ascend immediately
you've got to get out of there
well why what what do you mean
we got to get out of here like
what's
going on we don't we're not
sure but we think rival tech
sent down something that is an
unpleasant
surprise for you guys you have
to start getting out of there
they're like all right carl's
like all right copy copy base
moving up yeah yeah and so they
're moving up and i think that
we have to have them have
one more big bug encounter that
they think is like the last
thing they'll have to face
before they get
to the surface this is not a
bulk detonator surely not no
but this has to be a moment of
like downtime we
have to have a moment to
breathe we've had two big
battles we know that something
's coming for them yeah
so this is where like they
start walking and you know carl
walks up next to mission
control guy who has
yet to have a name and it's
just like hey i never got to
thank you for what you did back
there
yeah i i you know i did it in a
panic man like i just heard you
yelling to get behind it and i
couldn't even barely do it you
know you did good you did good
green beard you did good so
like carl
personally thanks so carl what
you know how why why are you
like you've been through all
sorts of stuff
like you're almost like you're
almost like a legend why how
how do you keep going it's like
well it's like
my dad always said and you know
have some kind of statement of
like his from his dead father
or something
like give carl some heart you
know yeah and mission control
guy like adds some levity he's
like huh
really i i joined for the cheap
beer you know and they both
have a good laugh about it you
know and then
they they get to like this big
chamber and it's like oh well
boys like they can see light at
the
end of the chamber yeah looks
looks like this is it yeah it
looks like we're gonna make it
and then
who do we want the dumb one to
be i don't want mission control
to be the dumb one but who's
like
who should we make the overly
curious one that that is going
to get them in trouble which
guy i mean
driller's like the big dumb
brute guy okay but engineer
would be like the more
intellect one that
would probably be more curious
so they're walking and as they
're walking the engineer
starts to hear like what sounds
like a distant heartbeat
it's like hey do you guys hear
that hear what oh i hear
something let's check it out no
no and
carl's like no man we don't
really have no we have a duty
to the company
it's you know this could be
this could be huge so they're
they're hearing this heartbeat
and they're
hearing like a pulsing and th
robbing as they're getting
closer and this is where
in the distance they see the
blue puffs of flame yeah so
they're seeing like this moork
ite well they're
like oh my god it's liquid mo
orkite i've heard rumors of this
stuff but we've never been able
to find it
we're rich
and i've heard it can fuel
entire civilizations for years
now meanwhile meanwhile though
engineer is like
no guys that's not it look at
this and there's this big red f
leshy orb
oh no he's like hey guys i
wonder what this is and carl's
like no get away from that don
't and he just lays a hand on it
boom
and what is this called uh the
the cocoon or the egg the big
glyphid egg when it hatches
what what's
the enemy called uh the dreadn
ought dreadnought so dreadnought
hatches you know yeah and i don
't know
which dreadnought we'll
probably go with the easiest
one just to make it simple
basic dreadnought we'll just
do a basic dreadnought and so
once again epic battle ensues
but carl uh during this battle
he gets a little bit wounded
like so like he gets bit on the
leg or something like it's
still
attached and whatnot but like
he's limping along some of the
other guys get like i think the
driller
get rightfully gets killed in
the initial explosion yeah like
well the driller or the
engineer sorry
the engineer yeah the engineer
gets killed in the initial
explosion which serves him
right
you know like ah and then they
they shout his name you know
whatever his name is and carl's
like
he's gone let's move so like
they have to find a way to deal
with the dreadnought and we're
going to go
off script with the dreadnought
because normally with dreadn
oughts like you have to shoot
them or you
have to we're gonna collapse
the cave on it we're gonna and
this is by the way not when the
moorkite
well gets caught on fire yeah
not so so like they're
initially trying to distract it
to move like so
they come up with this plan in
the heat of battle they're like
oh you know we've got a uh carl
what
do we do i've never faced one
of these before wait i've got
it all right here's what we
gotta do look
up there so we gotta lure it
over there okay all right how
do we do that wait you you
could have
like some barnacles
establishing that it's already
loose there we go we do a call
back nice so um so
they're all trying to distract
in the process carl gets
injured um they're all getting
like scrapped
scraped up and stuff but they
managed to get the thing over
there they they fire everything
they have
or almost everything they have
up at the ceiling it collapses
and kills the thing they're
like ah
and they're now trapped neck
like they still have the path
out but they're right next to
liquid
moorkite well now yeah so it's
puff puff puffing you know it's
doing its puff puff puffing
thing yep and
they barely have a moment to
breathe and they're sitting
there and they start to hear a
thumping noise
that almost seems like rhythm
ically connected to the moorkite
but it really isn't and maybe
like
some drilling sounds that are
much quieter some some drilling
sounds some thumping and they
're just like
what the hell is that this is
the rival tech thing that has
kind of come through the wall
now initially the rifle tech
thing is just meant for reconna
issance it has some lasers and
stuff for
drilling but it's not meant to
be like a weapon yeah and so
what happens is so the rival
tech thing breaks
through and gets a video feed
now you cut back to rival tech
and you're like sir we've
spotted them
and look at this we've spotted
this what is that it's liquid
moorkite they discovered liquid
moorkite
oh my gosh we're we're gonna
make millions off of this or or
it would be the opposite where
they have
the monopoly over the the all
the liquid moorkite on other
planets oh and they're gonna be
ruined we're
gonna be ruined if they take
advantage of this you know
whatever it is and then all of
a sudden like a red
warning light starts flashing
sir well what is it oh i'm
losing control of the of the
thing what do you mean
you're losing control i mean
something else is taking it
over well what could possibly
be taken over and
then you just hear you know
some kind of noise and so then
you cut to the thing and it's
light changes
from like orange to like red or
green to red and it just has
like a bunch of the charge suck
ers all over it
and carl looks up and like it's
just like guys this this this
is a whole nother ball game
yeah or
something like yeah like like
like they notice like it's just
green it's just looking around
all of a
sudden the light starts flick
ering then they notice the
charge suckers on it like
this is not gonna be good so we
get into the final battle they
there's only three dwarves now
they're
out of ammo like there's
clearly like the only thing
that could really be done to
defeat this thing
would be for some brave dwarf
to jump up on top of this thing
and nail the charge suckers but
the so
so they're all making a run for
it trying to cover each other
and mission control guy is like
i've got a clean approach i'm
gonna go for it he's like no
you need to stay behind no i'm
going for
we need to get out of here so
he runs he jumps up he nails
one of the charge suckers
knocks it off he gets thrown no
and that's when you see like he
lands in such a way
that he breaks his leg oh
like his leg like goes like
sideways at the knee it's like
yep he's like ah you know guys
i can't get up
leave me and now meanwhile the
the rival tech thing at this
point you know it's a little
bit stunned
so it's like guys just leave me
behind get out while you can
and carl's like i may have lost
a few mates
but i've never left a man
behind never leave a dwarf i've
never left a dwarf behind never
so carl runs out you
know blasts another charge
sucker off the thing you know
he's fighting like crazy he
makes it out there
and you know basically like he
's rescuing i think both dwarves
like one both of the dwarves
are like
pinned down like the the dr
iller ran or no the driller the
engineer no not driller it
would the driller
ran to help mission control guy
they're both pinned down by
this thing that's shooting
lasers at them
the lasers are going to drill
through the rock anytime now
you know driller made a bunker
for mission
control yeah so they're pinned
down and uh driller has managed
to get like a splint like he's
managed to
like snap the leg back into
position and splint it which of
course it's like ah
and carl makes it over to them
yeah then yeah maybe driller
should have died because i feel
like
engineer would know how to make
a splint maybe i don't know
whatever it doesn't matter this
is a rough
out one yeah so so they're
pinned down carl manages to
make it over to them and this
is where like
our our gunner guy is like uh i
've got two bullets left how
about you what do you got not
much and so
carl's like well mates there's
only one thing left to do then
and they're like carl what are
you doing
what any good leader does i'm
gonna save your lives and so
carl runs over he like knocks
another one of
the charge suckers off you know
it looks like he's about to
make it to the last one when
all of a sudden
a laser that they didn't see
flips over like it's one of
those rotational like things so
it just looks
like a normal panel on the
thing yeah but it rotates right
when he's in front of it right
as
he's about to strike the last
one right through the chest he
just stands there for a minute
you know
slow motion and he realizes he
's hit you know yeah and then he
kind of smiles like satisfied
like this
is how i knew i was gonna go
and he falls over the two dwar
ves and he falls into the liquid
war cut yeah he
falls into the well he falls
near the well not in it oh but
he's clearly dead and so they
're like no
and you know especially mission
control guy because they had
that bonding moment
mission control guy never knew
his father yes so fine so dr
iller you know mission like so
the big like
taken over thing is like going
over to the body of carl
thinking that it's going to you
know mutilate
it or destroy it fully in case
he's still alive yeah and gun
ner slash mission control guy
stumbles up on one leg and and
you know driller's like what
the hell do you think you're
doing
what are you doing and he looks
down at him and says with
conviction for carl and he
turns and he gets
his last two shot he aims
directly at the moorkite well
takes the two shots the moork
ite well explodes in
a ball of flame the the it
completely obliterates not just
the the energy sucker or
whatever you call it yeah
but the entire machine
apparatus yep and then they
pass out and fade to black
yeah you you see the drop pod
coming down and then this yeah
you see the drop pod coming
down
that fades to black and then
you cut to the you cut back i
don't think we have to cut back
to the
hospital or anything you cut
back to the beginning of the
story so you cut back to
the current mission control
current mission control and he
's like you know i i lost
mission clearance
that day i could never go out
and fight again because of me
leg but i'll be damned if i see
anything
happen like that again on my
watch there's a reason why i
fought for mission control
there's a reason why i
fought to be in this position
and that the entire reason is
for carl and you see like this
little tear
like to honor the memory and
the legacy of carl and you see
like this tear trickle down and
we like
at that point kind of fade out
and then maybe at the end maybe
at the end you show like
the you know rock box thing as
a teaser or something
oh and all this will actually
become reality but but just to
let everybody know i mean this
is a
conversation that kit and i had
a while ago and i'm pretty sure
that we've remained true to the
original story maybe enhanced
it a little bit we changed up
the the ending a bit but i i
think it
still works really well yeah
obviously rival tech loses out
because their entire thing got
destroyed
ndrg has access to the planet
yep they have all the more kite
wells now and from the data
they've got
well and maybe that's part of
that closing spell from the
data we got we were able to map
out how to
find additional more kite wells
and yeah we've slowly been able
to expand our operations but i
'll be damned
if anything will ever happen
like happened that day all of
this my entire career is
dedicated to carl
this is a rough outline what
this is a rough outline rough
outline so again if you happen
to like
this uh you know game companies
movie studios uh you know 75 80
000 for the uh story plus uh
you
know five percent of the gross
we got a in perpetuity across
all forms of sale digital movie
theater
whatever you see we need all of
our bases covered yeah but i
think that's a pretty good
story
and i do have ideas for sequels
oh no so perhaps more to come
in the world of drg
we want to thank you for
listening if you uh enjoyed
this little trip into deep rock
galactic the journey
of carl the story of carl the
story of carl then please drop
us an email
feedback@nontopical.com
i did recently test that email
and it does work we just don't
get any emails but um also we
believe
in something called value for
value which means if you get
any value from the show show
some value in the
and value doesn't necessarily
mean money it means sharing the
show with friends and family it
means
giving us feedback it means
trying to you know appreciate
it but what we do get
appreciation from as well
though is your cold hard cash
that's right we it costs time
and effort to put this together
and we really
you know would appreciate you
supporting us in whatever way
you can it could be five
dollars ten
dollars or hypothetical one
thousand dollars you know we'll
take what we can get but we
definitely
enjoy doing this we're trying
to change it up so that it's
more free form and we hope that
you enjoy
that so the one thing that will
not be free form though is our
delicious cheese quesadillas
help us you know for just the
cost cheese quesadilla of two
or three
coffees a day you can provide
us with access to get delicious
cheese quesadillas will you
help us
please do so at ko-fi.com/nontopical
help us we need the
cheese quesadillas and you can
help
anyway until next time we hope
that you endure this and uh we
'll hopefully have more fun
little side
chats like this in the future
all right thanks everyone bye
