Three drunk friends get thrown out of a karaoke session by a caretaker in broad daylight.
1. Viejos Payasos episode 337, recorded on March 2, 2026, features hosts Adrian Carvajal and Karki discussing Resident Evil 9, video game pricing, and Nintendo's anniversary marketing.
2. Regular contributor Alfredo joins remotely and provides additional Resident Evil franchise context and live gameplay reactions throughout the episode.
3. The central question of the episode is whether Resident Evil 9 (Resident Evil Requiem) successfully returns to the survival-horror roots of Resident Evil 7 after the more action-oriented Resident Evil Village.
4. Hosts open with a personal anecdote about being thrown out of a karaoke session at a friend named Freddy's house at 6 p.m. despite having a prepared list of ten songs.
5. The gaming discussion begins with Phil Spencer's departure from Xbox, with hosts noting that Capcom's Resident Evil Requiem launched on Steam for $55 while Nintendo and Rockstar charge $70-80 for comparable titles.
6. Hosts discuss Capcom's pricing strategy in detail: a luxury bundle including Resident Evil 7 and 8 costs 1,600 pesos on PlayStation, a standard bundle costs 1,350 pesos, and the standalone game is 999 pesos on Steam.
7. The sales data cited shows Resident Evil Requiem outselling both Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 8 at a ratio of approximately 3:1, which hosts attribute partly to the bundled packaging strategy.
8. One host describes his first attempt at Resident Evil 9: he played for ten minutes at night with no enemies on screen and had to stop because the ambient atmosphere was too frightening.
9. After returning to the game, the same host reports that Resident Evil 9 splits gameplay between Grace Ashcroft — a slow, resource-scarce survival protagonist — and Leon Kennedy, who plays as a heavily armed action character.
10. After four hours of play, the host reports spending roughly 90% of his time as Grace, with Leon appearing only in the introductory sequence and one brief combat section, contrary to what trailers implied.
11. A notable set piece in Leon's introductory clinic section involves an electric chainsaw that becomes lodged in a zombie and proceeds to chain-kill other enemies across the room; the chainsaw has an official in-game name, Pepe.
12. Hosts discuss aiming difficulty as a long-standing Resident Evil franchise characteristic, noting the game lacks aim-assist magnetism and that enemy movement is unpredictable.
13. One host praises the Steam Deck's ability to run Resident Evil 9 beautifully after manually adjusting settings, noting the automatic optimizer produced poor visual results despite the game being technically demanding.
14. The hosts debate Nintendo's anniversary marketing, citing that the 40th anniversary of Zelda received only a brief tweet and that Pokemon Fire Red's 30th anniversary was acknowledged with equally minimal effort.
15. They criticize the Latin American eShop version of Pokemon Fire Red for being sold in European Spanish with no option to select Latin American Spanish, describing it as reflecting Nintendo's historic indifference to the Latin American market.
16. High on Life 2's lack of Latin American Spanish dubbing is cited as a more understandable omission given the localization difficulty of adapting its wordplay-heavy humor.
17. Hosts briefly discuss the Resident Evil franchise character roster, tracing appearances of Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, Ada Wong, and Jake Muller across games 2 through 6.
18. The tone is consistently casual and comedic, with extended tangents, audience messages from Twitch subscribers, and frequent interruptions for jokes and live gameplay reactions.
19. Listeners who follow the Resident Evil franchise, enjoy Spanish-language gaming commentary, and prefer casual multi-host conversation will find the episode engaging.
20. Listeners who prefer structured reviews without tangents, or who do not speak Spanish, will find the format difficult to follow.
