this shit fucking hell make it right as I press record oh this is the big one
the big one this is a big one this is the year we've been doing podcasting
for a year I was gonna I was gonna get my horn oh fuck I was gonna get my horn
fuck that's too loud no because you can when you put your hand on it sounds like
we've done it what is it you said the other the other week most podcasts make it to a
year and then they quit yeah so this is our final episode this is the finale of
season one and the only season fuck you Matt for saying it's another one of my
crackpot ideas that I'm gonna give up after a couple of weeks is that what you
said straight away I still remember the fucking phone calls I had with people
and chats and shit like that people go what you're gonna start podcasting look
at us now there's still nothing going on we've done it for a year
consistency is key that's fantastic how weird I don't feel like a year for me
definitely doesn't but a lot's happened and I think about it a hell of a lot
happened we've even changed place we had the Star Wars celebration we're
fucking changed rooms we've got much t-shirts which oh yeah yeah I have
message about the t-shirts but I haven't had a reply but I'm sure that they're on
the way so yeah that would be cool when we can finally fucking send them out
hopefully I'm gonna email on Monday get it sorted but yeah man
congratulations what for doing a year thank you congratulations mate thank you
see you later a whole year about talking absolute bollocks it's great it's
fantastic it's been fun though it has been great in typical fashion though I
planned absolutely fuck all for this episode I saw we rock I figured I
figured we probably touch a bit on Final Fantasy I imagine so because we didn't
really talk about that much before so obviously Steph was on last week when
she and then it was you a week before we hadn't really played a lot of it since
then played quite a bit now I haven't spoken about it at all because I was in
Center Park's you were in Center Park's down them slides I was going down slides
they loved it so much mum it was good Jim took me on a fucking mental ride
which I wasn't impressed with yeah why because it was like I thought I got a
bit of TALASA phobia about me I'm not a huge fan TALASA phobia yeah I'm not I'm
not a massive fan of like water oceans and I don't mind it but that's for that
for lesser is it I don't know I think we got the same phobia deep water no thank
you it's not it's not really a phobia it's just I don't I don't mind water
slides and all that but I don't like enclosed stuff in water if you know I
mean I don't like the pipes that you go down yeah yeah so I'll still go down
them but I just begrudgingly do it I have every now and then when I have a
shower every now and then I'll use up all the hot water and suddenly it'll go
cold and if I'm washing my hair because I wash it front-facing so I've got my
eyes shut and it starts to go cold for some reason my brain thinks that I'm in
like deep water and I'm gonna wake up to pitch black underwater it scares the shit
out of me I end up like going ah ah can't do it I don't know why it's scared in the
shower brother deep water man it fucking you'll never catch me in the sea get
fucked yeah not a chance I'm not a fan of that but yeah there's like a Whirlpool
ride thing there and I don't like the Whirlpool because there's a place
around here where a young lad died a few years or many years ago now but he was
like he's like a plug and just go around the Whirlpool I don't know what happened to him
but yeah and she was it's called like cyclone or something I was like is because
she went on it and I had the kids and she said is it like that is it like a
Whirlpool thing she was like no no if you're fucking lying to me I'll never
believe you again you know that and then on the way up because it's a fucking lot
stairs to go up as well it says it's like a meter with like a arrow on it
saying how scary is a weather it was like maxed out at the top it was like
huge drop and stuff and I was like is there a huge drop no there's a little
drop it's no it's nothing major yeah great once again if you're fucking
lying to me but yeah we got to the top it was quite it was very high which was
interesting but I is a come on like them dinghy things I know like circular
dinghy and then yeah they're all young I'm not shaking like nervous I'm about
to go in a plug yeah and yeah all these all these kids are going on we fucking
shit to myself anyway yeah she's like oh you sit on that seat and I'll sit here
you have to like sit on opposite ends with your hands on the handle yeah he
pushes you down this pipe massive pilot humongous pipe and I'm going backwards
which was a great start so I'm not looking behind me and then we go into
like a massive room and it is like a plug you just go around the edges like
a couple of times and then you go down like this the plug and I said to Jim
why we're going around it I was like this is actually right I don't mind this
and then I look behind me to see what was down that plug and it was essentially
just a vertical drop I'm gonna die I'm actually gonna die as we fell I just
went you fucking come so loud I'm so angry and then yeah we just flew out the
end and then there's photo things at the end but where I'm a bit of a larger lad
nowadays I think I pulled the thing down too quickly so we didn't get a picture
everyone else has got their pictures we must have gone far too fast for the
camera to even get us but yeah this is quite the fucking speed camera it's one
of them though you're fucking shitting yourself and you're screaming and all
this bollocks but then straight away I wanted to get back on it yeah straight
on it the adrenaline rush there because they closed it straight after but it's
fantastic it was good I enjoyed it anyway kids loved it great holiday would
recommend there's a second time on it yeah it was mm-hmm
they said squirrel coming yeah I see that yeah just sitting there little squirrels yeah and
then yeah we was feeding some deer Pringles out of our hands and the whole
the whole time he was itching for Final Fantasy yeah this cuz fucking Sam was
messaging in patreon so I gotta try it but obviously didn't get the opportunity
because I didn't play the demo oh yeah and then you were gassing it up and then
I was watching YouTube videos and stuff like that and then the reviews come out
and they were pretty shit alright alright fuck it I'll just buy it so I pre-ordered it in
Center Parks came home downloaded that shit and boom and there we are just
once did you carry on from where you finished in the demo because you could
continue couldn't you or did you start again oh no I carried on yeah that's
cool and more games should do that more demos more of that yeah because that
entices people because I don't normally play demos because I don't like doing
the same shit twice yeah yeah so yeah being able to carry on that's a great
move yeah I quite enjoyed that same as you I don't want to I don't want to
carry I don't want to do the demo again because I feel like it's sport especially
that beginning it's so good yes wild it's wild so what's your thoughts on the
game you haven't been played it for a couple of days I don't really like it
you know I've done well I don't want to be overly critical of it because I feel
I don't want to be one of those dicks it's like you know shit I really like it
but I'm sort of like going back on what I said last week where I said last week
I like the idea of the cut sit little bit being like 75% cutscenes because it
is very story driven well now it's just a bit too much it's a bit too many
cutscenes I'm finding that there's there's some cutscenes where it's like
they're mundane and boring some of like the building blocks of it where I find
myself scrolling on my phone because I don't want to skip the cutscene but the
same time I'm not really listening to it so I feel like there's there's definitely
cutscenes in there that they could have got rid of all together and had
something else I think the combat's great visually it's fucking sick the
abilities are really cool it's quite fun but in saying that I think the the
variety in the enemies is quite it's quite boring and they don't do anything
they're just you know I mean that the enemies don't do anything they're not a
challenge I'm not feeling challenged in what I'm doing I feel like if you had a
difficulty meter from the because I know new game plus is more difficult you know
you get the random like elites that you might find they're way more prevalent in
new game plus and they are in the normal game and I like fighting them so if I
could get more of them but the idea of having to do the entire game and then do
it all over again to have that is a bit like I just don't want to do it I think
the main story is decent by the law wise like I'm really fucking sticking to it I
am like genuinely interested especially I don't know if I want to because it's
spoilers in it it's very difficult to talk about about spoilers but you know
the thing and the thing and the thing happens and then you're like I actually
know we're talking about without even saying that that that that geezers
actually thing is like oh wow press L3 and R3 yeah like that that kind of shit
is like fucking out I weren't weren't expecting that kind of shit I think yeah
I think is a very good game I don't know if I'm 100% happy that I've paid 70 quid
for it I don't think it's worth 70 quid but I haven't completed it so I'm not a
hundred percent like cemented in my idea of it yet I know you're loving it well
yeah I kind of agree with a lot of it to be honest there's bits and the trouble I
find with a lot of Japanese games JRPGs if you will is that sometimes they're
just so slow to do stuff like in the not like the cutscene cutscenes but you know
like the mini talking bollocks yeah like they'll be like oh take this yeah I know
exactly what you mean just fucking give me the thing the first fucking quest in the in the
den in the hideaway where you have to go and give the people their meals oh yeah
exactly why why why is it so slow just fucking take the suit fuck off that
stuff annoys me and there's no way to skip that you can skip the dialogue we
can't skip that fucking awkward things and that happens constantly throughout
the game and to be honest and I'd never ever ever ever do this in games any
conversation over the last two nights we've been saying if it ain't like a
main cinematic I'm just like whatever the fuck ever unless it's something that I
think I should listen to it's just a you know deliver the porridge to Boris I'll
just go yep not interested goodbye you know I mean I'm not the trouble is it's
like I'm so invested in the story the story is so good I think I'm quite a
bit further than you now yeah it just gets fucking even more insane than you
could even imagine yeah and it's actually buck wild to be honest with you
the main story is so far is really fucking intriguing it's very very good
I'm really really enjoying it 100% agree with you the last last time I played
it was a couple days ago and I found myself just sitting there skipping
through the dialogue I was quickly reading it like skim reading and going
no I'm interested and interested and interested and that the I don't know
about you but I've completely stopped doing the side quests I never started
I've just given up with after the first couple I did when it was like yeah
deliver the porridge can you take this seed to this person yeah how can you
it's just fetch man and there's no cuz I it wasn't cuz I I quite like to do the
side stuff for for like law purposes and things like that and in case I miss
anything and so that's my phone and I googled and watched quite a lot of stuff
to try and work out whether the side whether there was anything missing
anything that I was going to miss by not doing them trying to do it without
spoilers but there's nothing to spoil with the side quest they are all the
fucking same they're just fetch quest go and do this go and kill that save this
person by killing that mob and you don't get anything from him you don't get
anything from the quests so it's like so not only is there no there's no real
decent law with the side quest there's no decent story that I'm missing out on
here there's there's nothing worth my time in doing them so I was so from that
point I was alright well I'm just not gonna bother because I found that doing
the side quests was ruining the experience for me and it was taking away
my enjoyment from doing the main story because I was doing all the side stuff
thinking I don't want to miss anything especially after you said you progress
past a certain point and you might not be able to come back to some of the side
stuff I was like right well I really don't want to miss stuff but it just
sucks the fun out of it man they're so mind-numbingly boring they could have
done so much more with them side quests it's like these these are fucking
pointless yeah I find myself now rushing through everything just to get to the
next cutscene because I love watching the cutscene I'm excited to put my
controller down and watch because it's that high quality and the story's so
good but that bit what you said about you know when you find out that this
done yeah and it was it was leading up to it was like I don't know a minute or
so before the cutscene and I just had a light bulb moment I was like you
motherfucker I know exactly what's gonna happen I know exactly what and I should
have realized earlier because it was a bit where someone said he's covering his
mark at the moment yeah
definitely one if it does yes yeah it's disappointing but the main stories
carry me through but yeah even last night was planet and you know it's
always the same stuff go here do this little quest in the town before you get
to the main place and then you go up there fight loads of enemies in very
obvious arenas very obvious circular battle rooms and then you fight the boss
but there's cinematics and the bosses and the story and the twists and turns
are so good but I looked yesterday and I'm like 75 or 79 percent of the way
through the main story now after 25 hours and I've rushed I've only done
like I've done a handful of quests but I've only ever done the other ones with
the pluses and yeah the last side quest I did was yesterday and I finally got the
ability to to increase my potion capacity I'm like I'm fucking like 75
percent of the way through the game late now it's a bit fucking right now I mean
but yeah I do completely agree because I just want to I basically just want to
watch it yeah I'm tempted to just watch the rest of the game on YouTube because
I can't be bothered to keep hacking away yeah I was tempted because I know that
obviously you did that for Guardians of the Galaxy because again the Guardians
of the Galaxy predominantly is cutscenes and I fucking loved it it was it was so
good it was like watching a movie I said that multiple times when I was talking
about that game and I said to the staffer I thought it was really fucking
good and yeah you were able to almost experience the whole game by just
watching those cutscenes because combat wise you're not missing out on a whole
lot and yeah the thought did pass my mind of shall I just watch these
cutscenes because yeah I just don't know man the like you say everything's very
particular predictable when it comes to the combat in this game you know when
you're about to fight something big the typical here's some more potions just
before you enter this big room so okay it's very Hogwarts legacy I found it it
gives you the stuff that you need just before you're about to do a big fight
but then when you do that big fight it's actually not you don't need it's not a
difficult fight for a lot I'm at the point I just don't dodge yeah don't dodge
and I don't block I don't parry I just wail on and with all my abilities then
run around pressing square for a while and then when they're back I do it again
but I was because for the first little bit so obviously I think it was if you
pre-ordered it or something you've got the certain accessories and stuff like
that second boy yeah yeah yeah I'm sick of hearing that you know what I've never
once put that ring on and I and I I checked I controlled it myself yeah and
just pressing sick and boy after he said it like 12 times in a row I was like I'm
never used to it he still does it if you don't use that access yeah I would just
never do it because I was obviously I'm playing it and steps behind me and
bless her I know she gets so frustrated by competitive noise sorry not
competitive repetitive noise and I could feel her eyes in the back of my head
after about the tenth time that he said sick and boy and she was like is it that
fucking accessory I was like it must be the other one that auto like does it for
you so I took it off made absolutely no difference I was alright well I'm just
stuck with this I I found no difference with it I don't know if you know he
doesn't say at all to me no he says it to me if I tell him to attack other than
that he just does it on his own you know I just fucking he was still talking shit
so I looked through the option to see if there was a way to turn it off there
isn't that needs a bit Hogwarts legacy on it like they did with the fucking flu
flame woman let's let's fucking tone him down please because it's just annoying
and then obviously you got the accessories where there's one that will
dodge for you there's one that will give you a prompt to dodge anything that you
can dodge there's one that makes your whole combos just square mash just
completely mash square it would do everything for you but like at random
and I fucked around with them the one way it just turns your combos into
square mash made the combat extremely boring because all you have to do is
press square to the point where on boss fights my thumb was aching because I'm
just pressing square you can manually do use your abilities which I was to spice
it up a bit I then took that off to see if that would make that aspect of the
combat any better but then you just met the square square square triangle
triangle square square triangle triangle triangle square square it's I think if
the combat didn't visually look so fantastic I don't think it would be a
good combat system I think it's very bland because you are just square square
square square it would be nice if say you could have companions that would use
those abilities because you've got so many that you can't use them all oh you
get so many of them abilities I've got I've still got two more ability things
to unlock yeah yeah this is a lot but yeah I don't know it's just a weird one
because I do actually really really like the game but I am just rushing through
because I want to see the story through yeah and I don't really want to play it
it's a very good game but isn't because obviously I'm not a Final Fantasy fan
this is the first Final Fantasy I've ever played so I've got nothing to go
by but a lot of people are saying oh this isn't Final Fantasy this is just
Devil May Cry in a different outfit this isn't this isn't true Final Fantasy and
stuff like that I don't really obviously know what people are on about but it is
yeah it's odd isn't it I love the game but I don't want to play it I haven't
played it for a couple days and I really don't care I was genuinely considering
just returning it to Amazon and then just watching the cutscenes cuz I try
and get my 70 quid back and then just yeah just watch the cutscenes for it
because it is I don't know I don't know that that demo was so good and I loved
it so much I was so hooked and then now I'm just not yeah I'm the same it's the
last two nights I've been really interested in the story as I still am
but I just feel like I just want it to end now so I can play Diablo I think I
feel like the worlds are boring they're a bit flat you know I mean there's not
there's nothing there's no reason to go looking anywhere because all you ever
get is like sometimes you get like free kill I'm like well I've got like 80,000
what's the point why don't I need that well it's a potion well I don't need that I
can't carry it and I'm at full health yeah there's not really much there's no
dungeons that I found there's yes I tend to just run through them to the
objective do whatever it is skip all the dialogue now run to the next objective
all cuts in brilliant I'll sit down eat some biscuits and they're all I've got
fucking play again the skill up geezer he did a review on a lot of shit for
that review as well he did well I've kind of agree with a lot of the shit
that you know that's a lot of people disagree but yeah I haven't actually
watched it but I know he kind of bashed on it saying you know it's it's fucking
as wide as an ocean but deep as a puddle kind of thing yeah he didn't say great
things you kind of see what he's saying though because you know the side quests are
a pair of but then I've seen the counter argument of people saying I tell you
opposite they love the side quest it fills a story out you get like things
that you do in the game on the side quest will get mentioned later on and
you know there's a lot of that if you can be honest listen to this is what I
mean it just depends on how well in the game you are because I'm at the point
where I'm not interested in a single fucking thing other than the story I
think it depends how die-hard you are if if if World of Warcraft did something
like this I'd probably be all over it defending it to as much as I can because
I haven't a love for that kind of that game but the stuff that he said in his
in his review yeah I probably agree with like 95% of it I'm I'm not interested by
exploring everything everywhere I've been so far I have fully explored it
every single fucking inch of it there's nothing there's nothing interesting
you're not finding anything just to try a chest every now and then with some
gill in it so I would do this all you're finding gear that has absolutely no use
because the stuff you've got is already better this is what I mean this is why
it makes no sense because I there's not really a great deal that I'm positive
about on it other than the main story I love the game and it genuinely could be
my game of the year but I don't really like it doesn't make any sense I feel
like I like this more than Zelda I feel like the story the story is game of the
year material the game itself is not I don't think it is I I much preferred
playing Hogwarts legacy than I do playing this I think the combat in Hogwarts
legacy was far superior to this I just I just don't and the worlds in Hogwarts
legacy far far better and that's from an amateur studio this is Square Enix man
like it's just I expected so much more and so much more depth and maybe that's
because I'm not a Final Fantasy fan I'm just looking at it the wrong way I don't
know but for me I've paid 70 quid and I want my money back please because I'm
just not as invested as I originally was with the demo it's sort of I'm very much
like you I it pains me to want to just skip everything and just beeline the
main story because yeah I feel like I'm missing out on stuff but knowing that
I'm not missing out on anything sort of like right well let's just get through
this and then when you when you find out that it's like an average 40 hour play
time so oh so long can I be bothered can I really be 25 hours and I'm like 75 or
79% and I and that's I say the last two sessions I've just been skipping
everything so I've obviously increased that or decrease that time I know it
dramatically decreases that time if you start skipping cutscenes no I'm not
skipping cutscenes just dialogue no I'm saying if you were to skip cutscenes oh
yeah yeah yeah dramatically cutscenes are so fucking good and high production
and they are good yeah yeah I don't know man it makes there's parts of this game
and make God of War look like shit but that the scale of these battles are some
of these boss battles make anything in any God of War game look yeah yeah the
boss battles are fucking sick you ain't seen nothing yet where you're at
honestly they gets fucking mental I'm talking like crazy shit mm-hmm yeah I
don't know man it's it's a disappointed cuz yeah I just want to I want to play
it but I can't be bothered I'm not there I just I just don't want to play it but
I want to see it through and I'm at this point now where I'd be very disappointed
to just give up on it because I'm quite close to the end but I'm not really that
close I'm I'm even less interested in finishing it now knowing that you're
near the end of it I feel like I could just ask you questions I'm not nearly
the end of sort of 20% it's a long way to go like I've put I downloaded control
on the Steam Deck I'm more interested and having more fun playing that then I
am playing Final Fantasy at the moment saying with World of Warcraft I'd
literally bought yesterday and has now been downloaded tiny teen as Wonderland
oh yeah those at Borderlands yeah yeah cuz Steam Deck
Steam's doing a sale at the moment so it was down from like 60 odd quid to I
think paid like 18 quid for it so I was like fuck it yeah let's do that so I'm
interested in in in in playing those types of games at the moment but yeah
just Final Fantasy hasn't hasn't held me as much as I sorry Sam I know you'll be
listening to this maybe going what the fuck are these idiots on about there's
the patreon cancelled but I don't know I don't know I just don't like it I enjoy
I've enjoyed my sauce but a lot of the time now I'm just so I'm sure he feels
the same I'll be surprised if he doesn't see I feel if I ever get at that point
with a game that's when I'm just switched off I find it very difficult to
recover from that kind of mindset the minute I'm sitting there on my phone
when my phone is more interesting than the game that I'm playing is when I kind
of go alright yeah I'm not I'm just not interested in this anymore so I just
know that I'm not gonna let me get the fucking refund process going let's get
this going on fucking I'm doing now I'm going for piss
sorry everyone we're back I've got a recorder lig figured why we get this
quick break it's getting pissed I'm getting pissed mom she's a fucking
special we could absolutely lie here and say that this we had a week's gap
Jason I can't remember what we were saying before you shit in a final
fantasy you just hate it so much I might have to just watch cutscenes because I'm
not feeling it we'll see so we change the subject yes away from this side very
quickly you remember fucking it was almost a while ago you remember I did
my first ever pledge on Kickstarter for that last of us inspired or not inspired
just literally last of us yes board game thing I checked on it today because I'm
talking to Connor because he was saying how he does like kick starters all the
time and shit and fun enough one for the witcher turn up for him today he's been
silly father so yeah it looks so sick this looks cool in it well I thought I'll
fuck it I'll check my Kickstarter to see if there's anything like knocking around
with my one because December is when it's supposed to be like sent out and
there was an update and basically because I was one of the first people to
make a pledge oh I have given them like my name and details and stuff like that
and my name will be in the like learn to play guide nice which is quite cool you
had to you could apparently you was allowed to put like your gamer tags and
stuff like that in place of your name I've just gone for my name I was gonna
do what's the buttons but it I say I was saying obviously we are what's the
buttons but I feel like whenever we refer to anything online it's always
like what's the buttons podcast because I feel like we're not at that point yet
where you could just say what's the buttons and people would know that
that's a podcast but I think if you just search what's the buttons I think we do
come up the top doesn't some some of it and some of it and don't so I just put
my name on it instead but when that turns up I feel that would be quite cool
not that fucking little stream and wonders yeah I think that's quite cool I
feel that would be that would be decent because obviously that's the one that
Neil Druckmann endorsed as well so it's like this isn't just a or listen that
tinny this isn't just some little fan board game this is a proper thought and
efforts gone into this one it looks fucking sick I can't wait but I think
same with Connors one all my figures are gonna turn up unpainted and I have no
idea how to paint I think he's pretty good at shit me so Steph sister so as
Lucy there you go then I might have to employ her paintbrush looks like a lot
of figures to paint though what the fuck is out the fuck is that just gone off
could cans go off yeah in like 60 years this hasn't gone off yet that was a
really weird hit of eggs tin smells like eggs so the rat piss that's been on it
it's great the you know if that witcher box turned up at mine I wouldn't have
even opened it would you not know I still haven't opened my Ronin one but a
witcher Ronin stuff I backed on Kickstarter just in the box on I remember
having to go at you for it you know so why haven't you I was so sick and I'm
just like no it needs to stay in pristine condition at all times pristine
condition mmm there's a new black series been announced yesterday that is going
on pre-order in July which is Darth Vader battle damaged from the Obi-Wan
Kenobi series this can be like my 486 Darth Vader figure nice can't not buy it
was you not interested in the fucking one that I sent you the song I was really
busy I did look at it and then I looked away and then I forgot that you texted
you want to know how much it went for I don't want to it's gonna piss me off
nothing you do how much how much you think that it went for bearing in mind we
know how much is to get a fucking signature off of the man yourself it's
gonna be whatever way is gonna be either far too much or far too little it's gonna
say 400 it went for 220 pounds cheap that's cheap especially for a Vader as
well there was a decent pop there went on yeah I was expecting it to go for way
more when I had a look on eBay that is like the sort of guy and price at the
moment I don't know if there's been drops yeah I don't know there's been a
fucking influx of signatures from him but yeah yeah from that did they email
you the other day what Star Wars celebration would not about I think
they're basically just settling all their like over all their stock they've
got leftover celebration is because you went you get first dibs and all this
stuff is still that really expensive t-shirts yeah yeah yeah yeah get fucked
get after this after the shit that we had to deal with fuck off no thank you
sir marks finally put his c3po on on eBay as well
I'm gonna try and sell that for some some dingo dollars yeah nice that's
interesting yeah man that's that see you later
it's been a mosh so you ain't played Diablo in ages 265 quid yeah for signed
Anakin Funko pot it's not bad is it that's the best probably is that with a
coa though that's probably the one I want as well
has it got a set with it yeah yeah as coa authentic Beckett Beckett oh shit
yeah fair play so you cheapen it basically not but it's cheap for you
well what you think about it the daemon was 250 and then add a 10 on for the
sir it's just I don't know if this tastes weird or I don't know I'm gonna
keep going with it I saw the the bassim figure that you get from the Mirage
Collector's Edition Ubisoft posted it on their Instagram they go to like a close
up inspection of it it looks fucking sick man that thing looks so good oh I'm
so happy all the comments on it were saying I can't fucking get hold of it
sold out everywhere went on game it's still there you can still get it so I'm
not really sure what these people are about everyone can get stuff from game
you're in another country that's very true this is the problem I have with a
lot of Star Wars I suppose even if you're in a different part of the country
you might not necessarily be able to get it a lot of Star Wars figures are like
Target exclusive the one the most recent one I couldn't get was the Disney store
exclusive but it literally is only in America Disney store you can't get in
the UK just fucking infuriated me it's great figures worth like 40 quid 45 quid
or so but to get shipped over from America it's like a hundred pound mm-hmm
and then a lot more than that because you've got the price of the figure it's
fucking stupid it's infuriating really what can you do a lot of the Lord of the
Rings Funko's that I'm after they you can only really get them in America
which is an which is annoying so you have to pay the fees on top of that and
man I just don't want to buy a fight I mean it's a weird one in it because is
it that much different to buy and one from the other end of the country as
opposed to a different country it's still going to be packaged relatively the
same way and go through the same process of getting over it it's just I just
don't trust it for some reason it's because it's got longer time to be in
transit so it's more opportunity for it to be damaged just get fucked it's gonna
go from like wherever it is in a van to like the fucking docks or saying load it
onto a ship if I could if I could be certain that it's arriving in say a
hard stack like Elrond or fucking fry up there then it's kind of like yeah let's
let's take the gamble because everything's are fucking tough they're
they're hard shit but if it's just rocking up bog standards I'm worried and
then you got the customs on top of that how much they want to fucking charge you
because they I'm pretty sure that shit ain't even outlined there ain't even a
guide for that they just think how much can we rinse this geezer 80 quid fuck it
why not you have to pay otherwise we're gonna destroy it yep that kind of shit
but no I haven't played the outblow for ages because of Final Fantasy well I
haven't played it because I was in Center Park and then I come back and play the
only Final Fantasy a lot of people are getting switched off from Diablo 4 yeah
it's because they're looking forward to season one and there's nothing to do a
lot of people are getting like my whole guild is just fucking no one's tired
died at the moment yeah but apparently that's just the way it goes like you say
well though no one will play it for ages then the season will drop and everyone
will come back it will spike week or two and then it'll drop off and then they'll
come back that is exactly what's gonna happen which is fine well that's what
happens when people rinse a fucking brand new game in two weeks and then say
there's nothing to do I've massively increased the XP consumption XP you get
from like nightmare dungeons which was needed so I didn't they nerf that they
know if they're not there no they I think because there was more optimal
ways to do it so people just run in normal dungeons instead of nightmare
dungeons so not with dungeons come obsolete really there was to even
problems as there always is I've settled with the fact that Diablo 4 isn't for me
which is fine but I can 100% appreciate the game and the people that play it
and why they play it I think it is a good game it just weren't my cup of tea
but gone nothing's really good yeah I'm looking forward to playing if you're
still enjoying it I think that's great well I'm as played it for a week and
off because I've been away in that but yeah but yeah I'm looking forward to
going back to it's the great played with any of the updates because instead of
doing what most companies do and nerf every fucking class into the abyss and
something else just becomes meta all they've done is buff every single class
everyone's got more powerful Blizzard a fucking notorious for doing that if
there there is always one class that sits at the tippity-top and just
remains there forever and then almost every like every now and then they'll
get a fucking buff and everyone I'll be like why the fuck have you buffed them
everyone below and we'll get a fucking nerf and they'll go why the fuck have
you know if them people kick off about certain class and then they get buffed
through the roof and then other people kick off because they've been buffed
through the roof they're now sort of running with the idea like you just said
of just buffing everyone rather than nerfing everyone because nerfs make the
classes less fun to play buffs make everything more fun to play so it is
trying to find that balance doesn't matter if you buff or nerf or whatever
there'll always be a optimal best way that it doesn't matter what you do to
classes there'll always be a matter so you might as well just make everyone
better there is there is a it your play style and how serious you want to take
it is a big thing as well I found that if you if you have fun with a certain
class in a certain way that you play it and you and because you're having fun
with it you naturally become a lot better at playing it that way then then
go for it rather than following meta if you find the meta fun then then you're
naturally going to be better at the meta I feel like there's too much pressure
held on to you have to be playing better to get anywhere in this game blah blah
blah I feel like meta type of stuff is for the app is for the tippity-top the
elites in in various games like Diablo 4 like World of Warcraft if you want to be
competitive then you have to be that meta whereas the rest of us mere mortals
I think you can get away with just kind of playing how you want to play don't
put so much fucking what's the word almost so much almost so much shit on
sir on to on to how you play the game I think a lot of people because obviously
you're you're you're dipping toes into into a Blizzard community and toxic as
fuck every online game is I think any any point where there's any
kind of competitiveness or any kind of levels to reach or high level dungeons
or anything like that there's always people that are like if you're playing
something where you can have a build that is perceived to be the wrong build
then you're gonna get people that are fucking rinsing it your Connor was
talking about well today and he was like it'd be nice to find a game where
people ain't just gonna fucking have a go at you for being brand new exactly
because a lot of people just haven't got the patience yeah it showed you didn't
have the patience for me you give me like 10 minutes on World of Warcraft
you know click the fucking square and I'm like millions of squares I don't
know you know how can you not say yeah I need to work on that I've never ever
played an MMO before I've never played on a laptop before yeah and I was like
don't there's too many things go I formally apologize in this pod you know
first time ever I apologize I don't care to be honest with you it doesn't bother
me like when I'm talking when we're when I'm playing with a friend you shall
you want when it's random you don't know me from Adam don't be abusing me I'm
not I'm not not a fan of that but this cunt yesterday we got no hot water so
I know I had a wash for like four or five days
gone your boilers gone no I ain't got boy yeah but yeah this gaizy yesterday
James on Facebook eyes can anyone recommend a plumber like in a specific
group I know she made the mistake of asking for help
anyone recommend a plumber and then everyone's been really helpful yeah yeah
this guy this guy this guy and some cunt comes in why you just fucking
Google look pumice around your local area yeah and I was just like what a
knob yeah I was like Jim don't reply to him because it's just gonna be some
Facebook argument it's like no he's not getting away with that no she says
something back to him and she says say back to her so I looked at her original
post and I was like hold on a minute you've asked for a recommendation of a
plumber you haven't asked for a specific like is there plumbers in my area yeah
yeah I mean so that gives you can shut the fuck up because you're looking for
someone that's endorsed by multiple people we have the same shit in our
every town and can fucking city and little village or whatever has their own
Facebook group and me and Steph are part of them and it's just there's always one
cunt that has to comment going there's Google for a reason it's like yeah and
there's also this group for a reason you fucking fat sweaty cunt shut the fuck up
why what is he doing is he just scrolling through this plumbing just
doing it to be a dick yeah but he's just scrolling for a plumbing group looking
for a plumber or is he just looking for a plumbing group because he's bored
saying that and just starts commenting that on everybody's just there to be a
prick genuinely man there's so many people out there that fucking hey but I
can't wrap my normal human head around it just oh moving on with my life
when I lived with my Nana obviously she has loads of dogs and there was fucking
again a different Facebook group the dog there's dogs barking it must be her up
on the eel she can't fucking control her dogs my Nana moved fucking six months
off before that because I shame even there and you're fucking wind in there
shut the fuck up it's not that deep fuck off you internet cunts it's always old
cunts as well always or middle-aged men you sweaty greasy little fucking fur
balls makes it even worse that he's not like hiding behind a name it's just his
actual name yeah so now I just hate you I mean you've you've you've been rude to
my wife now now I fucking how you're just a prick I always think why you get
it with the fucking the the wow group that I mean all the time this is a big
one yeah a lot of people don't know how to screenshot on their fucking computers
I don't know how to screenshot on this laptop I'd have to Google it because
it's not every day I'm fucking screenshot and stuff because I'm looking
at it right now so they'll take a picture on your phone so they'll take a picture
on their phone post something coming again what you can't find the fucking
screenshot button shut the fuck up was it taken on a potato every time you can
clearly see what is in this picture it does not fucking matter they're asking
for help shut the fuck up you sweaty nerds reddit does that which is probably
our demographic of people that are listening and if you are you go fuck
yourself it's so annoying and what you can't find the print screen button
obviously not dickhead otherwise I would have put a fucking screenshot on here
this has happened to me before fuck yourselves I hate it it's so annoying
yeah I agree that's that fuckers the gamers you you're all cunts all of you
why are we even here it's just so fucking annoying how did we get onto
this I just hear the buzz on your phone that's a radiation because you was
because you was talking about fucking welcome you need being toxic and I said
is this is for toxic prick it's just fucking something else so yeah I don't
know what I'm gonna do tonight now cuz I'll all day I've been thinking I'll
just go and play Final Fantasy but now you've shit on it as well now now I'm
just like miserable but I genuinely I'm as shocked as you are because I have all
day been thinking 52nd episode marking a year anniversary and we're gonna be
fucking having a fat argument on the pod because I was thinking they had this
geezer is this geezer is fucking wet dreaming over Final Fantasy and I'm
about to see her and so I think it's not as good as this is why we don't talk
about enough until the pod because we I had no idea you was on the same way
like me I was thinking he's gonna say oh yes fucking sick I was gonna go yeah
it's all right but yeah yeah I've got a few parts of it but no we just fucking
the same shit stuck it over a barrel went in this is the same energy as when
me and Steph were talking about Hogwarts legacy and we just went at it for an
hour just fucking ripping it to shreds I don't yeah I don't like shit in on games
because I do like said I genuinely like it but I don't like just sitting in my
own and I'd rather love stuff yeah I just yeah it's just something about this
just like not speaking to me but it's very far I want to go play Final Fantasy
7 remake because that was really good but I didn't get too far in it because
there's other things occupying my mind I would have been happier to pay like
eight pound 99 to Amazon Prime to rent out the movie version of this rather
than paying 70 quid yeah probably so what to watch 75% of what's on YouTube
what's someone else play yeah I ain't got personal buttons if I'm watching
combats going on for too long I'll just get forwarded yeah you know I mean
I'm gaming just don't watch just watch it what someone else play I need to do
that more streaming you know what obviously did you get Starfield
collectors edition yeah yeah that's that mentally the you know what my most
anticipated game of this year is now of this year yeah is it not Starfield no oh
yeah what is it so punk oh yeah I am so excited for that fucking expansion
I'm in bits that's all I want to play they have a I know because I was gonna
get never mind never mind I was gonna say they've got it on deals at the
moment on Steam for like fucking like 15 quid and I was I wasn't I was and
wasn't gonna buy it because obviously I'm not gonna play it until those
updates and that DLC comes out but I'm playing on the PS5 anyway so it doesn't
matter I'm very excited for it now and I want to play it but I can't because I
need the new stuff yeah I'm the same you you've made me really want to fucking
play and I've watched a fair amount of stuff on it now and it's oh it just
looks so good but even just the base game of it is so fucking good but we
have other bits are gonna just tip it over the edge to be like masterpiece
so I'm gonna be fucking when's that it's like the end of September
September yeah what 26 for saying so I've got a lot of three four weeks to play
Starfield first mmm and then I'm just gonna sink all my time so three or four
weeks to walk around with our watches for the game that's flopped yeah it's so
far away though man we're about to tick over into July so two months we've been
spoiled with games this year but ironically as much as I want to play
Diablo I can't really be bothered with that either because I know I'm just
leveling and I'm just in a low again I don't know what to play I even
contemplate playing no man's sky the other day yeah have you seen the stuff
have you heard or seen extra fire yeah I see the bait for you I didn't I'm not
interested Ubisoft is you as tend to not last very long is a free to play first
person online arena shooter where you compete in fast-paced clashes with
crossplay available at launch you will be able to play with friends on a
variety of platforms now let me tell you the one thing that has completely
spoiled that for me it's in the first fucking line free to play
microtransaction bitch my free to play in Ubisoft no thank you that just sounds
like shit it I've seen stuff on it and naturally oh this is the call of duty
killer you've got all the streamers that are now now endorsed paid a lot of money
to play it this is the best thing ever yeah to me it just seems like another
battle royale just looks all right but it'll be I think it would be pointless
for people to play it on console because there's no aim assist which is mental
that's crazy so you got no and people are so you can't play with our aim assist
there's a reason you give an aim assist because you're not pointing with a
fucking mouth we had this with overwatch to if you joined a lobby and you and the
host was a PC player you were thrown into a PC lobby which had no fucking
controller aim assist so when you and people like Jay were still ruggling
because I'm sitting there with a fucking mouse and keyboard with 10,000 fucking
DPI sensitivity I can move however I want and as fast as I want and then
you're stuck fastest sensitivity is still moving slow as shit and not able to
aim properly if you want to aim at something in any game and you're trying
to line something up perfectly on an analog a couple of analog sticks it
takes a while to get there yeah if you want to aim something specific in a
specific area so when you're playing shooters that you've got like half a
second before you're dead and you've got reaction speed you know less than that
you need to be able to lock on to a target quickly and at distance that is
very difficult without aim assist yeah that is what it's for so taking it out
entirely is mental there's always an argument with console players need aim
it you need aim assist play it without it then I'll tell you what I'll tell you
what your little PC cunt you play without a fucking mouse and keyboard with
a controller without aim assist you tell me how good you are because you are
gonna struggle you just will that doesn't mean that people can't play
without aim assist because of course they can but it takes far longer to get
better without aim assist than it does with aim assist that's just spoiling the
fucking game it's just impossible to get anywhere near a PC player because they
can just point and aim yeah why would you bring it out I've got line you up
with my thumbs you just move your hand to where I am people wins that they go
oh we've got aim assist it's not fair I'm telling you now aiming with a mouse is
far better than fucking aim assist also a lot easier to control recoil why
on the mouse why is because you've got aim with the analog stick at the same
time as the combat the recoil whilst pulling down away from the direction the
mouse is more natural because using your whole hand you're using your think your
thumbs you've got no dexterity to be able to do all these minute how about as a
PC player just don't try and alienate the people on console you want cross play
you want everyone else play you want everyone to be able to play with each
other you want the you want the gaming pool to be even bigger as big as it can
possibly be us playing Valheim Xbox and PC and shit is sick well it was the same
with fucking so sick that was the same with no man's sky as well yeah with
Connor yeah he's on a PC we're on a fucking PlayStation that if we had
someone else who was on an Xbox we was all able to fucking communicate and play
together it was great the in-game voice chat for no man's sky is fucking
fantastic way better than I anticipated it to be obviously now you got discord
on your PlayStation as well so it makes it even fucking easier but yeah why you
would want to alienate people from that by by having a go and because they've
got something that you haven't and you've got something that they haven't
it baffles me who gives a fuck long as you can kill each other that's all that
matters in it yep new game that I want but I can't because it's on Steam well
I suppose I could but I don't want to play on computer go on Dave the diver
yes see that's what deals at the moment it's fucking popping off man it's popping
off that's getting some crazy good reviews I wonder why having a title Dave
the diver in this current climate is gaining a lot of fucking traction it's
just fucking look sick it just looks stupid and I'm all for it it does look
very good like I say that's on deals at the moment on that's the sort of game
that looks ideal for like Steam Deck and shit yeah these sort of games will thrive
on things like that yeah I'm tempted to get it like I imagine it's only cheap
and all in it yeah I think it's like in the like I don't think is above 20 quid
it's not on any console man there's a lot of stuff on Steam that's like like
outcast outcast outlast survivors or something like that it looks looks really
fucking cool but it's it's PC only there's loads of shit but it works vice
versa as well don't as loads of shit on the PlayStation you can't get on the
fucking pain they see the Star Wars the Old Republic has got a new developer is
it yeah Bioware has handed it over to a new studio who do we know yeah but I've
never heard of them broadsword broadsword Bioware handed over games
radar.com says Bioware confirms it's moving its Star Wars MMO to a new
studio so it can concentrate on Mass Effect and Dragon Age and the Old
Republic has a new home the New Republic is moving from Bioware to
broadsword in a statement Bioware general manager said that while EA will
remain slow towards publisher development of the game will move to our partner and
friends at broadsword a boutique studio with expertise in managing online games
where Kay says that current content plans around the game remain in place
for the future but that new features will come to the game under broadsword a
company that will give SWOTOR the room to grow and flourish statement confirms
a report from earlier month that SWOTOR would be moving to allow Bioware more
room to work on Mass Effect and Dragon Age that led to concern from fans of the
long-running MMO but senior developers urge them not to panic as details were
ironed out the case statement confirms not only the studio move but also Bioware
is focused on single-player RPGs Dragon Age 4 blah blah blah blah blah blah and Mass
Effect and blah blah blah statement closes with a message from SWOTOR
executive producer Keith Kaneg who notes the ongoing success of the MMO and says
that while no change is easy it certainly helps that we're all excited
about the future of this very special game Star Wars the Old Republic sits
firmly on a list of the best MMORPGs and with that I've just decided what game I'm
gonna play you don't know how to play it I know I'm so sure I'm gonna get
wrist ache and stop so when's the last time you turn that laptop on it's been
a while yeah the updates on they're gonna be crazy yeah well good internet
now though and I go I'm excited I fucking love Star Wars do you know what I realize I save
money when I'm not watching Star Wars or all Star Wars encompass because since
I'm in plan Diablo I've been more on my fucking medieval vibe you know and I
finished my Star Wars book so I'm not like reading up on it so I'm yeah I'm
not I'm not paying much attention when I'm on my Star Wars vibe all I'm looking
at is figures much stickers posters yeah I'm just getting I'm terrible with it
once I get into a series I really like the first thing I started looking for is
Funko's they got a Funko that person yeah I'll be a hundred cents the signed
Uhtred yeah Uhtred of Uhtred of Bebbenburg Uhtred of Bebbenburg Uhtred son of Uhtred
definitely is worth a nice little penny now I yeah I mean I don't even know how to log in to that
thing I remember you have to go on some heating system and make sure the fans
on or something on the computer I can't remember I can't remember that laptop
yeah you used to put you say I'll make sure you go you start the game through
this fan app and oh cuz it's got a fucking game launcher yeah it's got like
an optimizer thing on it I remember enjoying Sway Tour just running around
with the lightsaber smashing people up but I don't you know I don't think is
that complicated but there's a lot of systems in place and I worry about the
toolbar I just wish I could play that shit on console man that's all the
people are saying when I read that the other days does this mean he can finally
bring it to console please man even if it's a dumbed down version make it
awkward on control I don't care just let me sit there on my massive tele big
tele not massive and yeah but they won't bother because you can now it's not that
difficult to put controllers with with add-ons and stuff like that again I say
it's not difficult for people that are computer illiterate which I am yeah it's
a little bit more more difficult I was looking at fucking getting World of
Warcraft on the Steam Deck the other day and I watched a tutorial I watched a
tutorial on how to do it and I was like I I know how to do this but at the same
time I was like there's so many variable variables that could go wrong here of
which I won't know how to fix like you're talking going into like the game
files and changing stuff and putting stuff in this place and it's like ah
this this is scary and like logging in but not logging in because you'll break
it so you have to log in this way but it keeps you gonna break your game system
yes I'm a bit scared of doing this I don't really need to do this and then
the bit that switched off for me is heat this guy geezer showed showed us him
playing it on the Steam Deck and then setting up all the buttons and stuff like
that for a controller obviously because it's like a controller and I was like
no no thank you I'm not I'm not getting involved with this I'm happy with
fucking with mouse and keyboard as I this is too much for me can I play
swotor with a controller answer most of the games out there are played with a
controller so I can see how it's hard for people to switch to keyboard to play
swotor I bet out of all of EA's titles swotor is the only game that doesn't
play with a controller
fuck my life that's great I've always said and I maintain I if there was a Star Wars MMO that was on
console I would never ever ever play any other game again yeah I would be like
your equivalent of wow yep that's all I want you you don't yet understand
you're coming close to it with Diablo but I don't think you'll you'll hit the
same level of having a game like that where it's like your comfort you can
always go back to it and you always enjoy playing it it's one of them where
if you're destiny yeah if you're ever in a slump there's something there to play
but destiny is just awful anyway but this is just yeah it's nice man I don't
think Diablo is one of those types of games unfortunately I don't know I think
they're trying to make it that sort of game I don't know if it will be but I hope it is
yeah hopefully I just don't I just can't see that happening well I'm gonna update the
computer when I get in and try and work out how to even start this fucking game
because I haven't got a clue and then it'll probably be like oh you must pay
because you know you don't have to pay anything yeah but I'm overleveled or something
no you don't have to pay anything it's free how long for? forever
nah level 80 or something I don't think so I don't know I don't think so I was playing it the other day
do I have to pay for swotore? great what does that mean? school tour that makes me sound very odd
mm-hmm swotore do I have to pay? play for free up to level 60 and enjoy the original class and planetary storylines plus the rise of the hot cartel and shadow of revan digital
expansions former subscribers and players who have purchased cartel coins are known as preferred and have fewer restrictions in gaining free to play players
oh yeah you know you watched the same video as me and it when you started playing it again a bit ago and you sent me a picture of the video you're watching and I'd watch that
and I'm sure you said something in there like if you just buy something once you then have like the preferred player tab and then you get loads more benefits
yeah I'm gonna play that so that's that well you need any advice and you just
ring me up and I'll get I'll get very angry very quickly and then we won't be
friends for the rest of the week just holler at me on on discord in it oh yeah forget yeah
can do that why don't you play swotore with me? I can do it's still downloaded I think
is it? well you was only playing it the other day weren't you? you jumped on for a bit
is it? why's my mouse just had a fumble? Star Wars? it's somewhere here. should we leave it there?
yes I mean it's not really much been happening is there in a celebration
episode but it's been a year dickheads yeah hopefully it's another year if you put your
hand in your wallets yeah it's fucking cost us it's cost us our whole patreon
purse to put these poxy fucking t-shirts out it's cost us a lot. look at all that money we've got
saving the patreon let's spend it all on these dickheads. it's gone it's gone
no worries we give back to the community that we've built around us
to be fair it's nice I'm gassed up what I want what I'd like should I say is to see
your pictures of you and you get your t-shirts I want to see people
wearing them send them on patreon or something you ain't gotta put them on twitter
advertisement baby yeah I mean no one's gonna wear them out they're not mental
these are pajama t-shirts cum rags yeah
the old reversible cum rags and on that note see you later everyone. Uro. Uro.
