Sacred Symbols+, Episode 439 | Moriarty x Jaffe: Great Expectations
Added 2025-03-08 17:00:16 +0000 UTCWill Grand Theft Auto VI be the massive success everyone expects? Well, it better. With a budget almost certainly exceeding a billion dollars, and with thousands of people having worked on it over a decade, everyone's assumption should be that it's gonna be great. That's perfectly reasonable. But then again, there's always that lingering possibility that things could go very wrong, too. On today's episode of MxJ, we analyze GTAVI from multiple angles: Consumer cost, cultural relevance, market erosion, and much more. Other topics this week include the perplexing return of the once-storied publisher Acclaim, expectations for Death Stranding 2, the missed potential of Sony's cancelled Twisted Metal project, Discord's goal to go public, and so on. Plus: Tons of off-topic chatter. Enjoy, and be well!

2025-03-20 16:47:31 +0000 UTCI disagree with Jaffe almost completely on political issues, but the man has a good heart and I love listening to him. I get why his brand of crazy may rub some people the wrong way, but intentions go a long way with me and I’m confident that Jaffe’s intentions are always good.

2025-03-20 15:12:41 +0000 UTCHand to god. Politically I agree with almost nothing Jaffe likes lol. Not a problem for me of course, but feel it’s relevant to my comment as maybe I can speak for others excluding his haters. Ironically I’ve found that he is my brand of crazy. He’s grown on me. I agree that if Jaffe had his own segment (in some capacity) I feel like it would surprisingly be a hit for you guys. He has the energy & wit to carry a show. Truly. Not to take away from others on the staff. But he’s a diamond in the rough without a doubt. Unfortunately he’s just busy with other things it seems. Idk food for thought :) I think it’s worth a conversation 🤳🏼

2025-03-16 00:50:52 +0000 UTCColin and Jaffe probably have the best chemistry in the LSM family. Always a joy to listen to them shoot the shit. More please. Also, Colin, absolutely nothing wrong with being a homebody as long as you get fresh air and exercise. Do whatever makes you comfortable.

2025-03-15 18:01:17 +0000 UTCi'd leave last stand and never look back if that happened.

2025-03-14 12:59:43 +0000 UTCI missed this upload somehow. So this’ll make my long ass commute tomorrow much better. :)

2025-03-13 04:47:55 +0000 UTCdidn't think i'd hear jaffe utter the words, "I work for Keemstar" but here we are!
Guybrush Threepwood
2025-03-12 21:51:32 +0000 UTCJaffe stay away from Keemstar dude.
Aaron
2025-03-12 05:46:24 +0000 UTCI would definitely watch Colin and Jaffe live once a week. The banter between the two is where Jaffe shine for sure
The GophersLoafers
2025-03-12 00:42:32 +0000 UTCYeah…associating with Keemstar is inherently sus. Worrying.
Louis Armstrong transforms into Louis Strongarm by shouting WOW, Shazam-style
2025-03-11 23:54:38 +0000 UTCThey make a post you can write your questions on. Usually a couple days out. The Sacred Symbols thread should be posting tomorrow afternoon.

2025-03-11 23:52:41 +0000 UTCjust subbed after listening for a long time , how do you submit q's??
Fritzls basement mainframe
2025-03-11 22:41:09 +0000 UTCJaffe forgot to include the word “Lolcow” in front of Madhouse. It just seems like he’s being exploited by Keemstar like every other fledgling internet personality is. Jaffe, just be careful man.

2025-03-11 18:27:00 +0000 UTC“Sorry for Lib Cuck Jaffe comment I made and thank you for god of war” is quite the bingo card sentence 😭
Bartevious
2025-03-11 17:55:56 +0000 UTCMost reasonable Jaffe take 😂
Bartevious
2025-03-11 17:54:33 +0000 UTCHey me too, what up fellow sparky ⚡️⚡️⚡️

2025-03-11 17:45:25 +0000 UTCFun episode. As an electrician in the field listening to podcasts, I thank you!

2025-03-11 16:46:57 +0000 UTCaaaand: the hot QA-Lady talk is very true xD
Eugen R.
2025-03-11 12:51:07 +0000 UTCi did say exact this a few minutes ago :/
Eugen R.
2025-03-11 12:49:48 +0000 UTCNice Episode! Love your Energy Guys! jaffe is an interesting Dude with a broad view! So keep this episodes comin and GO FOR THE Live Shows! Thanks! Last point: Colin go to the TLoU 2 Premiere, goddammit! Yeah of course it's a little bit challenging, but how often you (the normal people has never the chance) have a chance to see something like that? So thoink about it, go there AND tell us some hot Stories from there *-*

2025-03-11 12:38:53 +0000 UTCThe crew motorfest is not better than any Forza Horizon game Jaffe please…
Aaron
2025-03-11 05:50:51 +0000 UTCHey Jaffe why was the Minotaur boss towards the end in god of war 2005 so damn hard? Also love having you on here
Have you considered considering considerations considerately considerate
2025-03-11 02:17:40 +0000 UTCYeah I'm a right-wing guy and I'm starting to say phrases like "late-stage capitalism". I don't know the solutions but it's pretty nuts how monopolistic these companies have gotten and how they drive sales with addiction based psychological attacks and advertising brainwash to sell shittier products that will last much less time. That removes the value of competition from early capitalism almost completely.
Seth
2025-03-11 02:14:20 +0000 UTCKeemstar, Jaffe?!
Joe Perez
2025-03-10 22:58:02 +0000 UTCCome on Colin , you are a smart guy and your analysis are always on point. You do realize the effects on people of this late stage capitalism we are linving in. You just need to shed your red scare mentality and join the right side of history, the working people, the proletariat, the communist hahahah. JK but at some point we need to start to think how anything can change if we keep on this system. I really like that you seem to have a more open mind nowadays, you help more people open their eyes
Pasqual Ribot
2025-03-10 22:18:20 +0000 UTCA Jaffe show? Sign me up.
Romeo
2025-03-10 21:57:26 +0000 UTCAs a huge South Park fan my brother Colin I must say that South Park is far from Conservative. They’re definitely more to the center than anything. They make fun of both sides equally
tone
2025-03-10 21:03:28 +0000 UTCHey Jaffe, you blocked me on twitter for a silly comment I made and I just want to say I sincerely enjoy your content and opinions even if I seldom agree with them. Sorry for Lib Cuck jaffe comment I made and thank you for god of war
Zachary
2025-03-10 18:49:21 +0000 UTCI NEED more Jaffe!!!!!
Joshua Jones
2025-03-10 16:43:03 +0000 UTCAgree 100% Ember’s. I don’t think most people know what Jaffe does outside of his LSM recordings
Gray Gordon
2025-03-10 16:05:09 +0000 UTCI will say, idk if I like Jaffe’s live stream 24/7 ideas, but I do think more Jaffe in general would be awesome. The DND idea sounds really fun too. Regardless I hope CLS and Jaffe work together more
Foolish Dominator
2025-03-10 15:37:47 +0000 UTCWhat yall need to know. Is I’ll listen to anything you do. As long as it’s you guys and can take 3 hours of my day
Markeus
2025-03-10 14:48:50 +0000 UTCA Jaffe show would be incredible.
Mateusz Kuklinski
2025-03-10 14:11:13 +0000 UTCI enjoy these episodes between Colin and Jaffe, but I just have to say this—with all due respect, Jaffe’s ideas for the network sound incongruent with what Colin has built. That’s just my opinion as a listener, of course.
Ember's Arcade
2025-03-10 13:56:42 +0000 UTCYeah I can imagine mine isn't a popular opinion. I like the dynamic that Chris has with Cog and Matty and I LOVE Colin and Jaffe together. Jaffe would be a good fit for SS (not that there's anything wrong with it currently in fairness).
NUTSO JIMBO
2025-03-10 12:14:14 +0000 UTCNoooooooooooo. Sacred Symbols is my favorite podcast. It's perfect as is. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Mike Held
2025-03-10 12:01:02 +0000 UTCColin, just want to say thanks for specifically not alienating members of your audience based on politics. You said that you’ve gotten better over the years and I agree. Keep it up!
Drew Hamilton
2025-03-10 01:03:01 +0000 UTCThey do an excellent job of pointing out the stupidity of arguments from both sides. Often at the same time.
JT
2025-03-10 00:35:38 +0000 UTCI’m down with more Jaffe, but what he was talking about sounded a bit too chaotic for my liking. I trust that Colin could rein that in a bit and come up with something good.
Louis Armstrong transforms into Louis Strongarm by shouting WOW, Shazam-style
2025-03-09 20:01:06 +0000 UTCIts frustrating hearing him say he just won't do coop when he has somone mote than ready and willing to play with him 😅
Diego Macias
2025-03-09 19:51:37 +0000 UTCMore Jaffe pls.
Diego Macias
2025-03-09 19:49:57 +0000 UTCI came here to say the exact thing.
Diego Macias
2025-03-09 19:41:03 +0000 UTCThe best shows
The Rose Experience
2025-03-09 17:52:36 +0000 UTCI hope Colin does not take any of Jaffes business ideas. Jaffe has turned into a LolCow
Gray Gordon
2025-03-09 16:50:36 +0000 UTCLet Jaffe get his own show and fill up that Sunday slizzie
NeO JD
2025-03-09 14:31:50 +0000 UTCI’d love a show with Jaffe all about indie games. Lately I’ve been trying to seek out indie games on Steam with less than 1,000 reviews, and there’s SO much good hidden shit

2025-03-09 12:10:18 +0000 UTCJaffe is the goat
Your Boi Nicky V
2025-03-09 11:51:33 +0000 UTCJaffe is the left wing version of the 4chan conspiracy theorist who's only argument is "I'm just asking questions bro".
Yalingo
2025-03-09 08:39:30 +0000 UTCIt's time to get jaffe on board Colin.
Beaver diva
2025-03-09 08:03:47 +0000 UTCBig love jaffe
Beaver diva
2025-03-09 06:12:02 +0000 UTCMore Jaffe!
Zack
2025-03-09 04:40:28 +0000 UTCImagine getting a direct invite to The Last of Us S2 red carpet event from Neil Druckmann himself and not accepting. Find a way to go Colin! You can hide in your anti social cave once you get back.
Ryan Byers
2025-03-09 03:29:25 +0000 UTCIf anyone wants a good typing game on console after listening to this conversation then I recommend Cryptmaster. It's a nice little game with a great art style. You can play it with either a controller or keyboard.
Birds Aren't Real
2025-03-09 02:08:01 +0000 UTCColin my guy, take a look at Matt Stone's interviews in Bowling for Columbine or This is Film is Not Yet Rated and you'll see that the place South Park is coming from could not be further from "deeply conservative"...
Chevy LaGrange
2025-03-09 01:42:29 +0000 UTCHell yes. A Jaffe show every week would be amazing on last stand.
PeptoiZall
2025-03-09 01:31:16 +0000 UTCColin, I love ya but saying South Park reads as conservative is wacky to me. If anything, they’re either common sense centrist or dirtbag left. Generally just kinda misanthropic and no-nonsense.
Louis Armstrong transforms into Louis Strongarm by shouting WOW, Shazam-style
2025-03-09 00:45:45 +0000 UTCI want Jaffe on more content. The man is willing. Get him on more shows with Colin. Maybe he should join Sacred Symbols permanently. Chris can join Defining Duke. That way each of the three console podcasts will have 3 members.
NUTSO JIMBO
2025-03-08 23:24:34 +0000 UTCColin, I think you'd enjoy playing Split Fiction with Micah. I get that you like to go slow and meticulously search environments, but you don't need to with Hazelight games. There are no collectibles so you can't miss them. Just enjoy the ride
Jake Z
2025-03-08 21:39:12 +0000 UTCActually a good episode with Jaffe. Good banter and interesting topics

2025-03-08 20:40:51 +0000 UTCI love Colin x Jaffe
