1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,800
This is episode number 70.

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:04,560
Are you all right?

3
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:05,000
Yeah.

4
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,200
What the fuck was that?

5
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,640
What were you just doing?

6
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:08,760
I'm getting in the zone.

7
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,080
That was odd.

8
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,480
But are you in the zone?

9
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:15,600
Yes. Are you with us?

10
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:16,600
I have arrived.

11
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,240
That's real decent.

12
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,080
I was going to do the Game Awards,

13
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:25,560
like your own nominations on the podcast, but I realized I've already done them.

14
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,280
I haven't. Have you not?

15
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,760
No. You have to set up an account though.

16
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,760
Yeah. Did you not have an account from last year when you did it?

17
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,080
Oh, maybe I did. Let me do it.

18
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,600
Yeah. You would have had a...

19
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,080
You should have an account. I thought you'd already done it.

20
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,840
No, I haven't.

21
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,440
I went on it and it was like log in and I was like, you know.

22
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,480
Oh, this is incredible.

23
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:45,400
So yeah, I'm absolutely up for that.

24
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,120
So you can log in and it's probably something that we should have done before we hit record.

25
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,160
But this is how we operate.

26
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:52,240
That's right.

27
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,920
So you can log in and do that.

28
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,120
Oh, that kind of means that we can't really roll on to any other subject

29
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,920
because the other subjects are going to take up most of the time.

30
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,040
Oh, I'm connected.

31
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,040
Are you connected?

32
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,520
Yeah, I didn't even have to do anything. This is great.

33
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,520
Are you straight in?

34
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,520
The website's fucking awful, man.

35
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,520
I nearly belted my phone through the wall.

36
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,520
It was pissing me off.

37
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,520
Vote now.

38
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,520
Vote now.

39
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,520
Let's see what happens.

40
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:17,520
It's putting me in nominees. Start voting.

41
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,520
Nominees, here we go, mum.

42
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,520
Okay. Here we are.

43
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,520
Ha ha. This is delicious.

44
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,520
When are they? 9th of July.

45
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,520
9th for December, I think.

46
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,520
Game of the Year awards.com.

47
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,520
TheGameAwards.com.

48
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,520
Game of the Year.

49
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,520
Recognising a game that delivers the absolute best experience across all creative and technical fields.

50
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:42,520
So what I'll do is I'll read the nominations out and then you can guess what I'm going to put.

51
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,520
And then I'll tell you what I'm going to put and then you can tell me what you put.

52
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,520
Okay.

53
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,520
Sound good?

54
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,520
Yep.

55
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,520
I should remember it off the cusp.

56
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,520
Nominations are as follows.

57
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,520
Alan Wake 2. Remedy.

58
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,520
Wooo. I'm not going to do that every time.

59
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,520
I should see it through the crowd.

60
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,520
Baldur's Gate 3.

61
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,520
I can take a guess.

62
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,520
Spider-Man 2.

63
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,520
Resident Evil 4.

64
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,520
Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

65
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,520
And The Legend of Zelda. Tears of the Kingdom.

66
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,520
I'm annoyed that Hogwarts Legacy hasn't had a sniff on that.

67
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,520
Obviously that ruins our bet completely.

68
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,520
What was the bet?

69
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,520
We need to dig back through the archives.

70
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,520
It was for 50 quid and it was...

71
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,520
I got 50 quid if Hogwarts Legacy got it and you got 50 if Tears of the Kingdom got it.

72
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,520
Okay.

73
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,520
Well obviously my one's completely out.

74
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,520
So we'll see if Tears of the Kingdom... but it's not. It's going to be Baldur's Gate 3.

75
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,520
I mean I'll lose 50 quid for Baldur's Gate to win.

76
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,520
Yeah it's just going to be Baldur's Gate.

77
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,520
But I don't understand why Hogwarts Legacy has just been completely fucking miffed from this.

78
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,520
I told you why.

79
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,520
Why?

80
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,520
We knew this was going to happen.

81
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,520
Because of the controversy around J.K. Rowling.

82
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,520
Do you reckon that's why it got fucked back up?

83
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,520
100 million percent. There's too much controversy.

84
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,520
There always will be.

85
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,520
People are scared to... they're scared to not speak out.

86
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,520
But if they associate themselves with that...

87
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,520
You see it on Twitter when the game...

88
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,520
They're too worried about being cancelled over something.

89
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,520
Basically yeah. Basically.

90
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,520
So when the game come out so many people like...

91
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,520
Are people going mental about it?

92
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,520
Not influencers but YouTubers so to speak.

93
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,520
They'll be posting their excitement or they're really enjoying it.

94
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,520
You go through the comments and it's just like...

95
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:17,520
Oh you homophobic.

96
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,520
I'm just playing a game bro.

97
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,520
I'm just after the game. Shut the fuck up.

98
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,520
Don't align my agendas with the computer game.

99
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,520
So that's why. I believe.

100
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,520
I'm going to have to Google it because I was meant to do it before the pod.

101
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,520
Because obviously I've seen it.

102
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,520
And I was like fuck's sake. Why?

103
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,520
There must be a reason. Really.

104
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,520
It's a game really.

105
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,520
Yeah it should be on that list. Should it win? No.

106
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,520
But it should be on the list at least.

107
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,520
When you got... What was that? Resident Evil 4 remake.

108
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,520
There's a fucking remake getting on Game of the Year.

109
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,520
That's not fair.

110
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,520
The only way I defend it is it's not like a remake.

111
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,520
It's like a proper remake.

112
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,520
Super Mario?

113
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,520
What the fuck?

114
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,520
You've gone Baldur's Gate 3.

115
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,520
Obviously.

116
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,520
Who wouldn't?

117
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,520
The Hogwarts legacy. I read yesterday that it's the highest selling game this year.

118
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,520
So the highest selling game this year.

119
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,520
Hasn't made Game of the Year.

120
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,520
It's great.

121
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,520
But yeah I think that's why.

122
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,520
So yeah I'm going to go Baldur's Gate 3 because obviously why wouldn't I?

123
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,520
Next category.

124
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,520
I'm going to quickly say any category that's got Baldur's Gate 3 in it.

125
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,520
You can safely assume that Baldur's Gate 3 is going to win that category.

126
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,520
Regardless of what it is.

127
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,520
Quite possibly.

128
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,520
Best game direction.

129
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,520
Awarded for outstanding creative vision and innovation in game direction and design.

130
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:36,520
I must caveat to say that I haven't played Alan Wake 2, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

131
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,520
So it's kind of difficult to have any non-biased.

132
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,520
I've seen a decent amount on Alan Wake and obviously Spider-Man.

133
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,520
Her.

134
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,520
Mario.

135
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,520
I haven't seen fuck all.

136
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,520
But the nominations are them plus Baldur's Gate 3 and Tears of the Kingdom.

137
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,520
Baldur's Gate 3. All day.

138
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,520
I mean Tears of the Kingdom was innovative.

139
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,520
I struggled with that didn't I?

140
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,520
Innovative.

141
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,520
Well done.

142
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,520
But it's not going to beat Baldur's Gate 3.

143
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,520
It's not.

144
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,520
It's the goat.

145
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,520
It's kind of unfair.

146
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,520
I mean it's fairly obvious I'm just going to keep going for it.

147
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,520
I'll try and deviate where I feel necessary but I haven't really played that much.

148
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,520
Yeah.

149
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:17,520
Best narrative for outstanding storytelling and narrative development in a game.

150
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:18,520
Alan Wake 2.

151
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:19,520
Baldur's Gate 3.

152
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,520
Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty.

153
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,520
Final Fantasy 16.

154
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,520
Yeah whatever number it is.

155
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,520
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 obviously.

156
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,520
I put Cyberpunk is what I went for.

157
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,520
Because I was going to put Baldur's Gate and then I was like you know what with the actually

158
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,520
playing Cyberpunk all the way through and remembering quite a lot of the story, the

159
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,520
twists and turns and the different things you can do.

160
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,520
Yeah I went Cyberpunk man.

161
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,520
I thought about it for 0.3 seconds and went Baldur's Gate.

162
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,520
I mean if Baldur's Gate weren't there Cyberpunk would be the one.

163
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:55,520
Yeah.

164
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:56,520
Because yeah.

165
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,520
But then again I haven't played the others so there you go.

166
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,520
I know what you picked for this.

167
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,520
Best art direction for outstanding creative and or technical achievement in artistic design

168
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:06,520
animation.

169
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,520
Nominations are Alan Wake 2.

170
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,520
Hi-Fi Rush.

171
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:11,520
Lies of P.

172
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,520
Super Mario Bros.

173
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,520
Wonder.

174
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,520
And Legend of Zelda.

175
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,520
Tears of the Kingdom.

176
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,520
Hi-Fi Rush.

177
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,520
That is what you went for.

178
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,520
I went Hi-Fi Rush.

179
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,520
I love it.

180
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,520
It looks visually amazing.

181
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,520
I haven't.

182
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,520
Have I played it?

183
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,520
I've watched a bit of Hi-Fi Rush.

184
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,520
It does look amazing.

185
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,520
But I've played Tears of the Kingdom.

186
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,520
So I'm going to go Tears of the Kingdom.

187
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,520
I have to vote for it for certain.

188
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,520
Fair enough.

189
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,520
Next category is as follows.

190
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,520

00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,520
Probably the best soundtrack in any game ever.

193
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,520
For outstanding music.

194
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,520
Inclusive score.

195
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,520
Original song and or licensed soundtrack.

196
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,520

Baldur's Gate.

204
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,520
The whole fucking game is about music, man.

205
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,520
The whole game.

206
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,520
It's fantastic.

207
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,520
Best audio design.

208
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,520

00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,520
The whole game is about fucking sound.

216
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,520
It's great.

217
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,520
I'm going to bow to your infinite knowledge and I'm going to vote for Hi-Fi Rush.

218
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,520
It's all about sound, man.

219
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,520
Yes.

220
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,520
Next category is best performance.

221
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:38,520

I don't know who he plays.

236
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,520
I'm guessing Astaria.

237
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,520
Maybe.

238
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,520

I went Idris Elba.

241
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,520
I'm going to go Cameron Monaghan.

242
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,520
Who?

243
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:22,520
Cal Kestis.

244
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,520
I did debate Cal Kestis but obviously I haven't really seen a whole lot from him.

245
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,520
He's great and he loves Star Wars so he gets my vote.

246
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,520
Innovation in accessibility.

247
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:44,520
Recognizing software and or hardware that is pushing the medium forward by adding features, technology and content to help games be played and enjoyed by an even wider audience.

248
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,520
Your favorite game Diablo 4.

249
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,520
Four's a motorsport.

250
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,520
Hi-Fi Rush.

251
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,520
Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

252
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,520
Mortal Kombat 1.

253
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,520
Street Fighter 6.

254
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:04,520
When it comes to accessibility obviously I'm not, I don't, I never have to use any of the settings thankfully.

255
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,520
I think I just put Hi-Fi Rush because I just want to see him win something.

256
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,520
And I completely get that so I'm going Diablo 4.

257
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,520
Fucking why?

258
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,520
Because I still believe in that game.

259
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,520
Fuck him, no that game's dead in the water bro.

260
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,520
I still believe in it.

261
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,520
But yeah like you thankfully I don't have to use them.

262
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,520
Too many features.

263
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,520
When I do they tend to just be like the colorblind one.

264
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,520
But that all just depends on the game and the surroundings.

265
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,520
If it's like in forest areas then I struggle a little bit but other than that not too bad.

266
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,520
How the fuck do you cope with DayZ then?

267
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,520
Well I don't.

268
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,520
He says he don't, I don't.

269
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,520
If I see someone they've seen me a long time before I've seen them.

270
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,520
That's why I tend to try and stick around the buildings.

271
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,520
Have they not got a colorblind mode?

272
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,520
Nah.

273
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,520
You play the most hardcore fucking.

274
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,520
You must be perfect otherwise you won't enjoy this.

275
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,520
It's great.

276
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,520
It's just a great game man.

277
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,520
It's the best thing I've ever wanted.

278
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,520
Games for impact interesting category.

279
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,520
For a thought provoking game with a pro social meaning or message.

280
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,520
A space for the unbound.

281
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,520
Chance of Senar.

282
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,520
Goodbye volcano high.

283
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,520
Chica?

284
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,520
Chica?

285
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,520
Tashia?

286
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,520
Terra nil.

287
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,520
And Venba.

288
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,520
I have no idea what I picked.

289
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,520
I have no clue.

290
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,520
I think I just picked one at random.

291
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,520
I might pick the one with the deers in it because they're pretty.

292
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,520
I think that's what I went with.

293
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,520
Terra nil.

294
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,520
I don't know, deers in it.

295
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,520
So I'll go for that one.

296
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:44,520
Terra nil.

297
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,520
Best of luck.

298
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,520
Best ongoing.

299
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,520
Awarded to a game for outstanding development of ongoing content that

300
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,520
evolves the player experience over time.

301
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,520
Apex legends.

302
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,520
Cyberpunk 2077.

303
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,520
Final fantasy I don't know what one that is.

304
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:17,800
is that 14? Is that the online one? Yeah 14. Fortnite and Genshin Impact. What you got?

305
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,600
Read that description again of what this category is. Horded to a game for outstanding development

306
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,680
of ongoing content that evolves the player experience over time. Yeah great, that's fantastic.

307
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:33,740
I think, well obviously Genshin Impact is just a straight copy of another game. So is

308
00:11:33,740 --> 00:11:39,160
Fortnite and Apex Legends. They're all copies of each other. But I think I did go for Fortnite

309
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:45,000
only because out of the whole bunch they seem to be the ones that have gone from copying

310
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:53,360
people to now leading their space. The trouble with these sort of awards are, like, Cyberpunk

311
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,680
is not doing outstanding development and evolving the player experience over time. Because it's

312
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:03,640
not a live service game. Every single other one of them are live service games. I suppose

313
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:10,640
they did shoehorn themselves into that category by releasing it absolutely dog shit and unplayable

314
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:17,240
and then making it playable and fantastic. I guess but it's still the only non-live service

315
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,680
game on here. Yeah, I'd say give it to Cyberpunk just for a crack. I want to but that's the

316
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:26,640
problem I'm going to say is these lists, I tend to just pick my favourite game, not what

317
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:33,000
is actually respectable. So with that in mind, I would like to vote for Cyberpunk but I think

318
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,040
I'm going to follow up with you and just say Fortnite because they always innovate. You

319
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,600
go in each season, the maps will have different things to do. There'll be like balls to fly

320
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,200
around in or... There's all sorts of shit going on. It's always different. Balls to suck.

321
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:52,480
There's loads happening. I missed that season. So that's Fortnite winning that for me. Next

322
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:58,120
category is as follows. Best community support. Recognising a game for outstanding community

323
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:03,960
support, transparency and responsiveness, inclusive of social media activity and game

324
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:15,800
updates slash patches. Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Destiny 2, Final Fantasy 14 and No Man's

325
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:21,920
Sky. They're taking the piss. They have to be taking the piss. Read that description

326
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:29,200
again. Recognising a game for outstanding community support, transparency and responsiveness,

327
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,800
inclusive of social media activity and game updates slash patches. You think Destiny 2

328
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:41,160
is going to win that one? I've got a feeling that might come last. What the fuck? Oh God.

329
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,280
It's going great over there at the moment, isn't it? It's awful at the moment, isn't

330
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:50,760
it? They've, I think it's basically, they've killed that game successfully. Well done.

331
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:56,880
That's one. They, they had the downfall of that when they said that like the, the, the

332
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,320
next expansion was sort of like the penultimate. So it's like, you've already set yourself

333
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:07,360
up for this is, this could be a finish if we wanted it to be type thing, which is a

334
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:15,960
bit waff. I don't know what game I picked for that category. What was it? Baldur's Gate?

335
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:23,720
It was Baldur's Gate, Destiny 2, Cyberpunk, Final Fantasy 14 and No Man's Sky. I think

336
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:30,880
I went No Man's Sky. Yeah. I mean the trouble is I haven't really been around these communities

337
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:36,200
and let's have it right. Okay. If we're going on communities, um, the only community I've

338
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:41,760
probably ever been involved in is Destiny 2 and they're all a bunch of cunts. Let's

339
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:47,200
have it right. They're rude. No one wants to help you. They call you fucking, you're

340
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,840
an idiot. What are you doing? What are you doing? You've only done 12 damage. Yeah. I'm

341
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:57,680
sorry. But most of the people that have any sort of attachment, anything to Blizzard,

342
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:05,560
Bungie, whatever, yeah. The community is all a bit shit. Yeah. Just any game like that.

343
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,200
You might find a pocket of nice people like I have with WoW, but the majority of them

344
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:15,800
are knobs. Yeah. It's just any games like that. You always get like the elitist that

345
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,440
gatekeep people. I was playing ESO the other day and I'm in a guild there and they're really

346
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,920
nice and friendly and really like really chatty and I was talking to them and they were like

347
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,220
I've got onto the subject of playing World of Warcraft because most people that come

348
00:15:28,220 --> 00:15:33,940
from ESO have dabbled in that. And yeah, basically the consensus was that everyone left because

349
00:15:33,940 --> 00:15:39,480
of how toxic the community is. They were like we just didn't like it. I was like yeah, I'll

350
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:45,880
feel you man. Been there for over 10 years. I get what you mean. Yeah. Well, I'm going

351
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:51,440
to give it to Bowler's Gate 3 solely for the, oh, do I? Because No Man's Sky has got a damn

352
00:15:51,440 --> 00:16:01,240
fine community. I think when it comes to community, I feel like No Man's Sky has that loyal community

353
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:08,400
and they've actually listened to what that community wants and the ideas are bounced

354
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:17,720
from developer back to consumer and vice versa. And I feel like from that kind of view, they

355
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:24,680
do have one of the best communities. Yeah, I agree. They really do. And a lot of the

356
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:29,480
time you go on, because the only interactivity I have with these communities, if I do, is

357
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:34,200
normally through Reddit. Go on No Man's Sky and there's just always people just celebrating

358
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:39,200
each other's pictures and screenshots and stuff where good luck on Destiny 2. Yeah,

359
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:44,160
because that shit don't happen. So yeah, I'll give it to No Man's Sky then because yeah,

360
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:49,640
I think they do have a really good community to be fair, which is rare. Best indie game,

361
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,200
independent game. There's been a lot of drama about this. For outstanding creative and technical

362
00:16:54,200 --> 00:17:01,280
achievement in a game made outside the traditional publisher system. The voters follows cocoon,

363
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:09,560
Dave the diver, dredge, sea of stars and viewfinder. The controversy is surrounding David Diver.

364
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:15,120
That's what I voted for. Because apparently it's not really an indie game. It's not it's

365
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:21,520
made by like a company, so to speak. Big boy company. I don't know the ins and outs of

366
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:27,960
it. But there's a lot of who are going around the bay on Twitter. And with that, I've only

367
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:33,360
played sea of stars and that's fucking a phenomenal game. And the only reason I stopped playing

368
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:38,840
that was because boulders gate three took up all my time. So see stars getting that

369
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:44,480
hundred million percent. Dave the diver is an adventure game developed and published

370
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:52,600
by Mint Rocket. Yeah, I don't know the I don't know who Mint Rocket. No, I don't. But smarter

371
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:59,200
people than me, Mint Rocket and Nixon have been arguing about it all week. Best debut

372
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:05,320
indie game. Excuse me for the best debut game created by a new independent studio cocoon,

373
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:12,400
dredge, pizza tower, Vemba and viewfinder. I put dredge. Yeah, that's what I'm going

374
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:21,200
to play it for. Because I. Whoops. What did that fall off your head? I put I put dredge

375
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,920
because I never actually played it, but I'm going to get it for the Steam deck. But when

376
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,560
it would when it just released, I saw a lot of shit on it. It looks very good. And it

377
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,640
did look very, very good. Yeah, it does look very good. And I've heard only good things

378
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:41,160
about it. So that is also why it's getting my vote. The next category is a lot of categories.

379
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:46,600
Best mobile game. Interesting. The best game playable on a mobile device. Final Fantasy

380
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:56,440
Seven Ever Crisis. Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Honkai Star Rail. Monster Hunter now. Terra

381
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:05,520
Nil. Monster Hunter now. I love it. What was the other one? Terra Nil is the one I voted

382
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,640
for with the deers in the waterfall. Oh, yeah. I'm going to have to look on the Play Store

383
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,760
for that. What Marvel snaps on there now? No, I was like, where is that shit? Marvel

384
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,200
snaps on there. They've just won loads of awards. I'm kind of hoping they give us some

385
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:23,400
freebies. Terra Nil. What's this then? So look at this little game. It's got some terrible

386
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:33,920
reviews on it. It's a reverse city builder available exclusively for Netflix members.

387
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:40,080
What? Fuck knows. It's like a Netflix game, but you can only download it if you've got

388
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:45,880
Netflix or something. Revitalize a barren wasteland. Plant sprawling forests. Purify

389
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:51,920
soil and clean polluted oceans to turn a ravaged environment into an ecological paradise. Transform

390
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:57,600
a lifeless landscape into a thriving vibrant ecosystem. Turn dead soil into fertile grassland

391
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,840
and create the ideal habitat for animals to call home. Then recycle your buildings and

392
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,840
leave no trace that you were there. This is fucking a bit weird, isn't it? So you're an

393
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,280
ecologist. Gardener. The features are as follows. Dive into a reverse city builder. I've never

394
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:16,800
heard of that by the way. A reverse city builder? Yeah. Use advanced eco technology to purify

395
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:22,480
the soil, creating plains, wetlands, beaches, rainforests, wildflowers and more. Then efficiently

396
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:28,200
recycle everything you've built, leaving the environment pristine for its new animal inhabitants.

397
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,760
Build different maps every time. Procedurally generated landscapes means no two playthroughs

398
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,040
will ever be the same. Plan your build around randomized, challenging and unpredictable

399
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:43,240
terrain including snaking rivers, mountains, lowlands and oceans. Experience tranquility,

400
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:51,840
lush hand painted environments, relaxing music and an atmospheric ambient soundscape. A bit

401
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:57,080
of a typo there. Make this game a peaceful, meditative experience. When you're done, use

402
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:03,320
appreciate mode to bask in the natural beauty of the ecosystem you have restored. I mean

403
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:10,440
it all sounds a bit odd. It sounds a bit of a strange one, doesn't it? Yeah, I'm regretting

404
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:18,840
voting for that. Because it was pretty. Sounds pretty shit. Well, I just, I don't really

405
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:24,800
understand it. No, not a cup of tea. Nevertheless, I'll give it Monster Hunter because I've actually

406
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,760
played that. Decent. And it's actually pretty good. Although I did uninstall it the other

407
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:34,520
day so my daughter could download some silly little music game. There you are. Best VR

408
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:42,520
slash AR. I put Horizon. For the best game experience playable in virtual or augmented

409
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:49,800
reality, irrespective of platform. We've got Gran Turismo 7, Horizon Call of the Mountain,

410
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:57,600
Humanity, Resident Evil Village VR mode and Synapse. Yeah, I put Horizon because I'd seen

411
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,800
quite a few good things about that. Yeah. I was like, all right, you can have it. Fuck

412
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:07,360
it. Fuck knows. I'm going to go. I'm going to go Rezzy. Rezzy Evil. I've watched some

413
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:11,400
people play that in VR. It's pretty fucking nutty. You like it, don't you? I think it's

414
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:18,760
impressive. Yeah. Nice. Best action game. For the best game in the action genre, focus

415
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:28,680
primarily on combat. Armored Core, four fires of Rubicon, Dead Island 2, Ghostrunner 2,

416
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:34,320
I Fire Rush and Remnant 2. I put Remnant 2. Come on now. Have you seen the news about

417
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,200
that? What's going on with it? No, what's happening? Ooh, there's a little DLC out now.

418
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,240
Is there? Yeah, Taken King. Something like that it's called. I mean Taken King's Destiny.

419
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,800
Yeah, I know. I'm pretty sure that's what it's called. Is it? Yeah. People were raving.

420
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,760
I don't know if it's free. I don't know. We're going to have to make a reappearance. I watched

421
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:57,520
a bit of it yesterday. It looks fucking tasty. Yeah. And what did I say to you? When we was

422
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,640
playing that before, I said, this is the sort of game you can jump straight back in, not

423
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:06,680
really be too bothered about what was going on. Got it going on. So Remnant 2, I'm getting,

424
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:17,720
giving a vote to 100%. Remnant 2 DLC. Hit me with a name. How to, the Awakened

425
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:28,440
King. Ah, close. Official launch trailer. Let's do these fucking votes first. 25 quid.

426
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,840
Best action slash adventure. Yeah, but there'll be expansion. It ain't going to be. Oh, it's

427
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:36,920
a DLC bundle. Sorry. I apologize. Alright, Fizz. For the best action adventure game,

428
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:42,240
combining combat with traversal and puzzle solving. Alan Wake 2, Marvel's Spider-Man

429
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:51,680
2, Resi 4, Jedi Survivor, Tears of the Kingdom. I think I put Jedi Survivor. I should have

430
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,120
put Tears of the Kingdom, really. Okay. For the best action adventure game, combining

431
00:23:56,120 --> 00:24:01,960
a combat with traversal and puzzle solving. So Tears of the Kingdom has a lot of that,

432
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,400
doesn't it? Yeah. Has a lot of traversal and puzzle solving and the combat, I just hate

433
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,800
it. Yeah. I really hate the combat in Tears of the Kingdom. Yeah. Take away the weapon

434
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,920
durability thing. And the combat is just, is essentially lock onto them and then just

435
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:21,120
hit Y. Assassin's Creed Mirage type. There's no like, you can do the odd strong attack

436
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:26,040
or a jump attack, but there's no like combos. It doesn't mix it up. It's just the same fucking

437
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:31,760
swings. So I'm going to go, I mean, Star Wars, Jedi Survivor is going to get it anyway, because

438
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,680
of me. So I'm going to vote for that. That's fair enough. Oh, here we go. Here we go. This

439
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:44,400
is my category. Best RPG for the best game design with rich player character customization

440
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:50,760
and progression. I wonder what's going to get this. Including massive multiplayer experiences.

441
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:59,560
Baldur's Gate 3, Final Fantasy 16, Lies of P, Seer Stars and Starfield. Well, we know

442
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:06,400
it's going to go to Baldur's. Baldur's however you find it. BG3. Yeah, I could give it a,

443
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,600
I was going to give it the old, oh actually I want to give it Seer Stars, but I'm not.

444
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,160
It's going Baldur's Gate because this is the best game. I told you any category has got

445
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:18,200
Baldur's Gate and it'll go in. I hope so, they deserve it. Best fighting. And that is

446
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:23,840
another argument people are having. Baldur's Gate is actually, and this, I don't know this,

447
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:32,400
but this is what I've read this week, is more of an indie game than Dave the Diver. Worked

448
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:37,560
that out. Because, because Larian's smaller than, no Larian's a completely independent

449
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,680
studio. Whereas the company that make, is owned by a company called Nexon. Yeah. Is

450
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,160
not an independent studio. No. Therefore not indie. They have funding direct from another

451
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,360
company. Yes. That is, that is what we're getting at. So therefore not indie. Whereas

452
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:56,320
so Baldur's Gate is. Possibly the best game in the world is an indie game. Work that out.

453
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:01,960
Yeah. Nutty. Work it out. And then sort it out. Best fighting game for the best game

454
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:08,720
design primarily around head to head combat. God of Rock. Mortal Kombat 1. Nickelodeon

455
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:15,440
All-Stars Brawl 2. Pocket Bravery. Street Fighter 4. I see Spongebob, I gotta go for

456
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:20,600
it. I see Mortal Kombat, I'm going for it. You can't fuck about Mortal Kombat, it's the

457
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:25,960
goat. It's a goat fighting game for sure. It is. Best family. Interesting. For the best

458
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:32,840
game appropriate. Okay. For family play irrespective of genre or platform. Disney Illusion Island.

459
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:41,000
The DLC coming out three days ago. Party Animals. Okay. Pikmin 4. Sonic Superstars and Super

460
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:49,400
Mario Bros. Wonder. Read them again. Sorry I was too busy drooling over DLC. Disney Illusion

461
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:56,160
Island. Party Animals. Pikmin 4. Oh Party Animals is what I'm going for. Sonic Superstars and

462
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,040
Mario Bros. Wonder. Yeah Party Animals. I'm going to go with Mario Bros. Because I want

463
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:04,320
to play that at some point. Never played this. Supposed to be a really good game apparently.

464
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:10,800
Best sim slash strategy game. Best game focused on real time or turn based simulation or strategy

465
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:19,000
gameplay irrespective of platform. Advanced Wars 1 and 2 Reboot Camp. City Skylines 2.

466
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:26,720
Destiny of Heroes 3. Fire Emblem Engage. Pikmin 4. I have no fucking idea. I'm going to go

467
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,520
Advanced Wars 1 and 2 Reboot Camp because I've heard of it and it's supposed to be pretty

468
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:37,160
good. But I've never played any of them. Stages ain't my thing. Best sports slash racing.

469
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:45,400
For the best traditional and non-traditional sports and racing game. EA Sports FC 24. F123.

470
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:52,320
Forza Motorsport. Hot Wheels 2 Unleashed. No Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 Turbocharged. And

471
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:58,760
the Crew Motorfest. The Crew Motorfest motherfucker. The Crew Motorfest. Yeah it looks real fucking

472
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,160
decent. That'll be one I'll get when it's in the sale because I'm not paying full price.

473
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:09,960
Well I was going to give it to F123. Was ya? I'm not giving it to FIFA. But then I realised

474
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:16,160
F123 is also made by EA. So I'm going to give it to the Crew Motorfest. Yeah decent. I'm

475
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,600
not giving it to FIFA because they do not innovate. Don't get me wrong. No they do.

476
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,400
It's a different game every single year. This is a very good FIFA in terms of like Career

477
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:32,960
Mode and that. But it's so ingrained in the multi transactions. Micro transactions. Micro

478
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:38,320
transactions. It's just fucking silly now. They don't put no love into Career Mode. It's

479
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,920
all in the Ultimate Team. And I'm just not interested in that shit. So it needs to be

480
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:49,960
a football competitor. Best Multiplayer. For outstanding online multiplayer. Gameplay and

481
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:55,960
design including co-op. Massively multiplayer experiences irrespective of game, genre or

482
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:03,920
platform. Bowlers Gate 3. Diablo 4. Party Animals. Street Fighter 6. Super Mario Bros

483
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:12,120
3. Diablo's Wonder. See I don't think it's Bowlers Gate 3. I'm not picking Bowlers Gate

484
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:19,040
3. What was it again? Diablo's Gate 3. Diablo 4. Yeah I would go with Diablo 4. Party Animals

485
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,720
Street Fighter 6 and Super Mario Bros 3. Yeah I would go with Diablo 4 because I feel like

486
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:30,080
Bowlers Gate 3. The majority of people will be playing it on their own. And I think even

487
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:35,800
when you go on a multiplayer level it is solely reliant on whoever set up that game. So you

488
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:42,760
cannot play it without that person. So it's not. Well you can. It plays with it. But it's.

489
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,800
If you play it and then you join my game and then you're not about I can still play without

490
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,840
you. Yeah but if I'm joining if it's your game I can't play it without you. That's what

491
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,840
I'm saying. The host needs to be on in order to play it otherwise you have to set up your

492
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,480
own campaign. I had a lot of fun playing Diablo 3 with a geezer at work. We smashed some shit

493
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:06,360
out that normally I wouldn't have been able to do so. I think it's really good. Yeah Diablo

494
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:12,520
is decent with that shit. Best adaptation. It's The Last of Us. Recognising outstanding

495
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,640
creative work that faithfully and authentically adapts a video game to another entertainment

496
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:25,240
medium. It's The Last of Us. All day. Castlevania Nocturne. The Last of Us. Gran Turismo. The

497
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:32,720
Last of Us. There it fucking is. Super Mario Bros movie. Super Mario Bros movie. Twisted

498
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:37,200
Metal. Super Mario Bros movie is very good but The Last of Us is I was literally talking

499
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:44,520
about it last night. The Last of Us is fucking amazing. Amazing. Have they finished filming

500
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,640
the season 2 or are they. They don't even know if they've started. They've either finished

501
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:54,280
or they've started one of those two. Most anticipated game. Recognising an announced

502
00:30:54,280 --> 00:31:02,280
game that has demonstrably illustrated potential to push the gaming medium forwards. GTA 6.

503
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:12,960
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. 80s 2. Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth. Star Wars Outlaws. Tekken

504
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:18,200
8. I put Star Wars Outlaws. Obviously I'm going for that motherfucker. What else would

505
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:27,040
I be doing? Tekken 8. Fuck me. Fuck me. Best eSports game. For the game that has delivered

506
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,960
the best overall eSports experience of players inclusive of tournaments, community support

507
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:39,480
and content updates irrespective of genre or platform. Counter Strike 2. Dota 2. League

508
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:50,440
of Legends. PUBG Mobile. Valorant. I think I put League of Legends just because. Yeah

509
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:55,080
I'm going to put PUBG Mobile. PUBG Mobile. There's fucking PUBG Mobile tournaments and

510
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,960
shit like that. PUBG Mobile is one of the most watched YouTube fucking things for some

511
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:04,920
reason. Why? I don't know. PUBG Mobile. Not even like PUBG. Just the phone version. Don't

512
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:10,040
know why. It's so odd. You go on the live stream things and the most watched things

513
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:16,480
is always PUBG Mobile. I think PUBG is massive on the other side of the world. Yeah it must

514
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:22,200
be. Like in China it's just huge. But like you say why the mobile one? I don't know.

515
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:27,480
Again mobile gaming in different countries is a lot bigger than it is over here. Oh yeah

516
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:35,200
look at Pokemon Go and that. That's nuts. Massive. Best eSports athlete. You going for

517
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,680
this? eSports athlete. The eSports athlete judged by to be the most outstanding for performance

518
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:45,000
and conduct in 2023 irrespective of game. I have a lot of respect for people that can

519
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,040
sit in front of a screen for 12 hours and keep smashing their heads against the wall.

520
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:53,440
Thank you. You're welcome. I do actually respect them but it's just mental that I don't know

521
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,440
a single one of these people. What you don't know these athletes? No I don't know. I don't

522
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:05,240
know. Lee Faker sang Hyok. Sorry I probably got your name wrong. League of Legends. Matthew

523
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:18,520
Ziwu Herbao CSGO. Max Demon won Mazenov Valorant. Paco Hydro Roozy Weez. Call of Duty. I don't

524
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:27,760
know. I can't pronounce these but I'm trying. Park Ruler. Jay Hook. Why's that funny? I'm

525
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:32,400
not laughing at you. It's just the way you said ruler. Because I'm just thinking of a

526
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:37,840
ruler. You know what I mean? Like a measuring stick. Oh well you want me to say ruler. It

527
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:48,440
just caught me off guard. That's what it says. Park Ruler. Park Ruler. Park Ruler. Jay Hook.

528
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:57,360
And Philip Imperial Howe Dozen. Apex Legends. Not a fucking clue. I'm going to go for Paco

529
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:05,560
Hydro because he plays COD. Easy. Congrats on the nomination. My friend. Best esports

530
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:11,400

531
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:18,280
outstanding for performance and conduct in 2023. Evil Geniuses Valorant. Fanatic without

532
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:32,400
the A. Spicy. Valorant. Gaming Gladiators. Spelled without a G. Dota 2. Aiming Gladiators.

533
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:41,040
No no no. It's gaming without the G on the end. Oh oh. Oh right. Nice. JD Gaming League

534
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,480
of Legends and Team Vitality Counter Strike. I think I just went Team Vitality because

535
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:50,520
it sounds the coolest. Same man and Vitality is important because that's your health. So

536
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:58,520
you win that vote. Thank you. Best esports coach. Here we go. The best to last. Should

537
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:04,640
be the most outstanding for performance and conduct in 2023. Christine Potter Chi. Evil

538
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:13,400
Geniuses Valorant. Who the fuck needs a coach? Danny Zonic Sorenson. I'm sorry. Who needs

539
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,800
a coach? What? Are we missing something? I don't understand that. Why do you need a coach?

540
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,760
Because you need someone to tell you to keep going man. Why do I need a coach? Have you

541
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:27,920
never seen Mighty Ducks? No. Everyone needs a coach man. You've got to be. Come on. Keep

542
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,760
going. Come on man. Press the buttons. I've never seen Mighty Ducks either. It was the

543
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:36,480
first thing that came to my head. What the fuck? Team Falcons Counter Strike. Jordan

544
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:46,600
Gumbagraham. Florida Mayhem Overwatch. Remy XTQZZZ. Quonium. Where the fuck do they come

545
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,080
up with these names as well? He looks like he's lent on his keyboard and gone that's

546
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:57,400
my name. I don't get where they come up with these fucking names. XTQZZZ. Team Vitality

547
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:08,760
Counter Strike and Yoon Hom Sung Young. No, no, no, no. Yoon Hom Sung Young. JD Gaming

548
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:18,520
League of Legends. What are you laughing at? It's just odd isn't it? I'm still cracking

549
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,600
up at the fact that you've got coaches for these teams. I don't understand. I'm going

550
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:30,040
to go for Yoon Hom Sung Young because he is the only one on this picture wearing a tie

551
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,640
and I was spanked the fuck out of that. I think it's maybe when they're competing in

552
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:38,720
tournaments. I feel like there the coaches are able to watch the game as well and then

553
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:43,920
make call outs. Maybe. Maybe because I've seen it with World of Warcraft before and

554
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:49,620
like World First for raids and shit where they have the teams and then the coach was

555
00:36:49,620 --> 00:36:54,680
like live streaming it and he wasn't in the raid but he was part of the group and on the

556
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:59,920
Discord and he was watching someone else's stream and then like being the raid leader

557
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:04,640
but not actually being there. So he wasn't playing but he was able to focus on every

558
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,960
single thing that was going on. So maybe it's like that. That way it makes more sense. Yeah

559
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:14,080
that does make sense. Rather than having like you got to get up and game man. Like getting

560
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:18,000
a strict schedule going because I don't understand where. Just coming around shoving monster

561
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:24,320
energy. Yeah I like gaming. I don't need you to come and tell me to play. Best esports

565
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:52,760
Valorant Champions 2023. I don't watch any of that. I know this is what I mean. I feel

566
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,480
bad voting because I've got no say in this. I've got no clue whatsoever. If I could skip

567
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,920
it I would because I feel like I'm giving my vote and it's just not fair. But I'll give

568
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:07,160
it to League of Legends. Yeah they can have it. Why not? Yeah why not? That's the main

569
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:15,600
one. Why the devil not? It says I'm 404 I've reached the edge. Oh there you go I think

570
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,120
you're done yeah. I might have just glitched out or that was the last one. I had that at

571
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:29,080
the end I think that is the last one. Fair enough. So yeah all in all I think the winner

572
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:33,640
is Bowlers Gate in everything. And I hope it is because I love them and they deserve

573
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,840
all the success that's coming their way. I think 9th of December is when you find out.

574
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:48,080
Oh not long. Hogwarts Legacy come out on the Switch. Okay hit me. Finally 9 months. It's

575
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:54,320
been a long time hasn't it. After it's initial release. Now everyone is expecting me to sit

576
00:38:54,320 --> 00:39:03,000
here and say how awful it is. Okay. And it is awful. However from a graphics point of

577
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,040
view I'm actually on Nintendo side with this one. Because graphically it does not look

578
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,560
as good as it does on the other consoles. Fair enough. And I think it is 30 frames per

579
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:18,460
second and not 60. However it does not look as bad as some people maybe. It definitely

580
00:39:18,460 --> 00:39:25,920
doesn't look as bad as I was expecting it to look as bad. Side by side comparisons against

581
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:31,400
like the PS5, Series X and stuff like that. It doesn't look that bad. Obviously you can

582
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:37,160
see there's a graphical difference. But I will let Nintendo get away with that one.

583
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:42,480
That's expected. The console is 7 years old. It's had no hardware updates. I understand.

584
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:48,360
This was a game that was kind of made for current gens and not ones that are almost

585
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:56,840
a decade old. So I'll give them that. However it's not open world anymore. It's not open

586
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:01,020
world. What do you mean? I didn't know this was a thing. But it's not open world. So when

587
00:40:01,020 --> 00:40:08,440
you traverse to different places. So to Hogsmeade for example. You remember the bridge to get

588
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:16,720
into Hogsmeade? You now have to enter that bridge. Because it has to load in Hogsmeade.

589
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:19,920
It's not just seamless. You can't just walk over the bridge and then you're there. There's

590
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:24,960
an invisible barrier and then it comes up with a prompt saying enter. Like enter Hogsmeade.

591
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:32,400
You then enter Hogsmeade with an average load time of 20 to 50 seconds. And then once you're

592
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,480
in Hogsmeade and you want to enter a shop. You can't just walk through the door. You

593
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:43,280
have to press enter. With an average load time of 20 to 50 seconds to get into the shop.

594
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:47,000
And then when you want to get out of the shop. You can't just walk out of the shop. You have

595
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:54,080
to press enter. With an average load time of 20 to 50 seconds to get out of said shop.

596
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,720
And this is with a lot of the zones. It's going to take a while to go shopping in Hogsmeade.

597
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:05,200
It's with a lot of the zones. To be fair. You can't. To enter Hogsmeade on the game.

598
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,880
You can't just land there can you? It's like an invisible barrier around it. So you have

599
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:14,120
to go on the bridge anyway and then run over. But you don't have a loading screen though.

600
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:18,120
You can but you can also run in and just blast straight through the door into the shops.

601
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:29,240
And then straight back out. It's such an odd one because I feel. It's still open world

602
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:34,120
though isn't it? It's just got loading screen barriers. That's all. I also. Obviously the

603
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:39,880
graphics aren't as good as a whole. From what I'm seeing and from what I've read. It runs

604
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:44,740
pretty fine other than it being like slow loading screens and the graphics aren't as

605
00:41:44,740 --> 00:41:49,440
good as fucking current gen which they're not going to be. It doesn't run like that

606
00:41:49,440 --> 00:42:00,760
bad. My gripe with it is obviously people defending it. Nintendo's done really well.

607
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:06,040
I do think Nintendo have done pretty well. Or Hoggles Legacy has done pretty well to

608
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:12,580
be ported onto Nintendo. But I'd like to see it fucking stop now. I'd like to see it stop.

609
00:42:12,580 --> 00:42:17,340
Stop doing this shit now because it's taking the piss. We've had a big old fucking nine

610
00:42:17,340 --> 00:42:22,720
month delay for a game that should not have been released on the Switch. I don't think

611
00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:26,120
they should have bothered. I think for the time and effort that's been put into it to

612
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:32,920
get it onto the Switch. I feel like it just gives Nintendo further reason to not bother

613
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:39,040
bringing out another console. And I really can't understand why Nintendo fans are defending

614
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:45,240
Nintendo for not bringing out another console. It's almost fucking, what is it, 2017 when

615
00:42:45,240 --> 00:42:50,480
the Switch come out. It's a long time man. It's a long fucking time for there to not

616
00:42:50,480 --> 00:43:00,080
be at least an upgraded version when you have things like Steam Deck and the ROG Ally and

617
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,440
any other fucking things that are popping up.

618
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,960
Even the PlayStation's bringing out a new version, huh?

619
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:10,600
What, of the PlayStation? Yeah, the slim. The slim isn't the slim but they're calling

620
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:18,160
it the slim when it's got two different face plates and it looks fucking awful. That one.

621
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:25,880
I don't understand because for me I don't see it as an excuse anymore because you look

622
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,840
at the Steam Deck, the battery life is shit. It just is. It's shit. You're getting like

623
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,840
an hour and a half, two hours fucking gameplay if you're playing something like Cyberpunk

624
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:39,560
and that's it and then it's conked out. It's playing games that aren't designed to be played

625
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:45,520
on handheld. So kind of understand that but it can play them and it can play them pretty

626
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:53,680
well. So for people to say that, oh, Nintendo's old and the technology's not there. Of course

627
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,520
it fucking is. Of course it's there. You're telling me a company like Nintendo can't solve

628
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:02,520
battery issues because the fucking hardware is there to run these games portable. It's

629
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:08,120
just the battery that's the fucking issue. So I can't see why people would still defend

630
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:14,720
the Switch because of its age and not pressure Nintendo to bring out another console. If

631
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:18,920
we were still sitting here and the PS4 was the fucking current PlayStation, when the

632
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:23,560
fuck did that release? How long ago was that? It was about three years ago maybe? Coming

633
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:29,720
up three years? You'd be begging for another one. No, PS4 not PS5. If we were still running

634
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:37,200
on PS4 now, the Sony community would be fucking screaming because you go where the fuck is

635
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:44,240
the next one? Give us the next one. So I don't see why it's any different with the Switch.

636
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:47,600
And don't fucking, don't cover your arses with the fact that you can dock that thing

637
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,520
now because basically every handheld console now can fucking dock as well. The Steam Deck

638
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:57,160
can do it. All right? It's just, I don't get it.

639
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:02,360
You completed Hogwarts legacy, didn't you? I did. Speaking to one of my besties last

640
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:08,760
night and he's going to buy it for his kid for Christmas. And I said, I don't recall

641
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,320
there really being anything not child friendly in there, is there? There's nothing really

642
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:17,280
terrifying or anything. Yeah, no, it's perfect. I mean it's a 12 plus, but it's not really

643
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:23,760
like... How old's the kid? Six or seven. Is this the same gaze that Adegard has for swearing?

644
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:29,560
No, no, no. Okay. Yeah, I don't really see it. I can't recall like... I don't think there

645
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:34,440
was anything that was... No. And they've watched all the Harry Potter films and she's read

646
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:38,680
the books and all that stuff. So if there's anything in there that would scare her, that'd

647
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:43,720
be scarier in the films. Yeah, if she's watched the films, she's sweet. As far as I'm aware,

648
00:45:43,720 --> 00:45:46,720
I don't think there was really any gore or anything like that. No, there's like the odd

649
00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:50,360
trolls and that, but there's nothing really terrifying, is there? I don't even remember

650
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:55,040
there being any dementors in there, is there? No, I don't think so. So yeah. Okay. I just

651
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:59,880
wanted to pick your brain on that. No, no, I think it's good. I think it's decent. So

652
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:05,160
yeah, Hogwarts Legacy has came out. Yeah. I'm not... I think it's... I'm glad it's

653
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:10,400
come out. I'm happy for people that it's come out on the Switch. If the Switch is your main

654
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:15,840
console and your only source to gain access to Hogwarts Legacy, I think that's absolutely

655
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:21,920
fine. I just feel that from a community point of view, you should be pushing for another

656
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:26,800
fucking console by now. You should be pushing for something, or at least an upgraded version

657
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:32,000
of the fucking Switch because a new battery and a new screen is not an upgraded version.

658
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:37,280
Gaming moves so fast, man. It feels like fucking years ago Hogwarts Legacy came out now. It

659
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,400
does, doesn't it? It feels so fucking long ago. I had to double check that it could have

660
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,960
been included in this fucking game of the year because I was like, how long ago was

661
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,560
this? But at the same time, I feel like Ragnarok only came out a couple of months ago. Strange.

662
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:55,320
Really strange. Yeah, I know what you're saying. Yeah. It's weird. But yeah, I just think that

663
00:46:55,320 --> 00:47:01,200
it's time... It's definitely time. I think it's looming because there is so much stuff,

664
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:07,720
especially with Sony releasing the portal, that's come out now. I think, yeah, I did

665
00:47:07,720 --> 00:47:12,920
see that people were receiving that. I feel like there's something in the works there.

666
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:17,920
I think Nintendo are very good at keeping things under wraps. So I just can't see them

667
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:22,920
not having something on their fucking back burner that's ready to go.

668
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:28,000
Nintendo just do what they want. They never get pressured into anything. They're pioneers

669
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:33,440
of their craft, but they tend to move away from what they do. So they'll make the Switch

670
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:38,880
and you'll be like, oh, the Switch 2. No, we've made a console that runs on dinner plates.

671
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:43,160
And you'll just be like, okay, what was wrong with the Switch? Which was perfect. But you're

672
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,920
going to prefer these dinner plates to your Switch in a couple of months time. Yeah, trust

673
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,560
us. And you're going to get some quirky adverts where someone's eating their dinner and they're

674
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:53,880
playing the game as they remove food. Yeah. And you'll be like, that's mental, but it

675
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:59,560
works. Yeah, I want it. I like this. So they're pioneers. They really are. But yeah, there

676
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:05,520
is time to do something new. But the problem is if they keep selling shit, if they keep

677
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:10,480
selling the Super Mario's, the fucking Animal Crossings, Hogwarts legacy, they're just going

678
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:16,120
to be like, well, why? I mean, people are still buying these. COVID was the best thing

679
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,200
that ever happened to Nintendo. Of course it was. Everyone was fucking wanting one.

680
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:23,400
I nearly got one. Because everyone wanted a Switch. Everyone went out and, Animal Crossing,

681
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:29,520
there's no reason, there's a reason why that sold so much when it came out because it dropped

682
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:34,280
at COVID. And everyone was like, this is like the perfect COVID game. A bit of peacefulness,

683
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:39,640
bit of tranquillity, a bit of normality, so to speak, going around doing your groceries

684
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:45,200
and picking plants and fishing and you know, so yeah, I think it's definitely time for

685
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:51,280
Nintendo to upgrade and do what they need to do. But will we see a Switch 2? I'm skeptical.

686
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:58,560
I hope so. I think we'll see a Switch 2. I think there's far too much competition out

687
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:06,640
there to ignore. If there was nothing like the Switch, then I think it would be understandable

688
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:13,680
if they changed direction. However, you just talk about money. I was having a little beef

689
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:20,200
with someone on TikTok over the Hogwarts legacy video on there where someone was defending

690
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:26,320
Nintendo saying, oh yeah, but it's an old console. It's from 2017. It was like a fucking

691
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:33,080
Steam Deck to bring out something new. I think there's far too much competition to ignore.

692
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:38,820
And if Nintendo decided to ignore that handheld competition and went to a different thing,

693
00:49:38,820 --> 00:49:45,520
say they entered the non-portable console or something completely different, I feel

694
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:51,320
like eventually or very, or quite quickly when you're approached with the option of,

695
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:59,320
do I get this Switch that's from 2017 or do I get this whole group of brand new handheld

696
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:03,640
consoles that can play this, this, this, this, this, this, this. You're going to get people

697
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:09,000
who are eventually going to stop paying attention to the Switch and going over to the current

698
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:14,080
handhelds and Nintendo will lose revenue from that side. So from a money point of view,

699
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,640
I feel like it's smarter for them to come out with a Switch 2 because I feel like that's

700
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,640
the direction they should stick in as well.

701
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:24,240
Yeah, I agree. But Nintendo does what they want. I know they do. All I care about is

702
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:31,960
whatever they do is I want to be able to download the games that I've already bought again.

703
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:36,240
Don't make me fucking buy them again. Cause that's what pisses me off the most is having

704
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:45,160
to rebuy the same shit. This is not nice to be repackaged HD version. Fuck off. I mean,

705
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:50,640
I'll buy it cause I'm an idiot, but there you go. Have you been playing anything exciting

706
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:51,640
this week?

707
00:50:51,640 --> 00:51:01,200
Bro, World of Warcraft has my absolute bollocks. What's happened? New season started. Fucking

708
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:07,000
hell. We was talking about the other day you got away from. New season started and I can't,

709
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:13,520
I can't. Um. ESO. I'm still playing ESO. How can you play two MMOs? Still logging in. World

710
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:17,880
of Warcraft I'm playing more. Um, but ESO I'm still, I'm still dabbling in and me and

711
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:21,600
Steph were playing it the other day. But Steph did say, she was like, I know you want to

712
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,960
play well. She's like, I know you, I know you want to play well. And I said, no, I'm

713
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:30,040
happy. I'm happy, but I want to play well. Sorry, Steph. Um, no, they're still, they're

714
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:36,120
still active. Um, but obviously new season started, new, new mythic plus season. We started

715
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:43,160
raiding again. So the new raid come out and we played that on Wednesday. Um, so I was

716
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,680
playing with people that I haven't spoken to for a while, obviously through discord,

717
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:53,000
but not a whole lot. So it was just nice to have that, that community engagement again.

718
00:51:53,000 --> 00:52:00,120
Um, and there's, there's nine bosses in this raid and they, they did eight out of nine.

719
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:04,480
So on the, on the day of release, which is quick, pretty decent. Um, I had to drop out

720
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:09,280
after four because it was getting late and then we're doing the last boss on Sunday and

721
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:14,480
then moving into the heroic version of that dungeon. And, um, yeah, it's just decent,

722
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:20,320
man. The catch up, the new shit that's come out, like a new area. Usually it's a bit overwhelming,

723
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:26,360
whereas this time it isn't, it's really not that bad. Um, however, interestingly in the

724
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:34,280
next couple of expansions or next updates, anyway, they are seemingly stealing stuff

725
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:41,960
from ESO. Interesting. So they're releasing Delves, which are in obviously ESO. Yep. And

726
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:48,880
they are branding them as solo or two player dungeons, which is a Delve. Um, and they're

727
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:54,680
also talking, speak talks of them bringing out companions that you can level up and take

728
00:52:54,680 --> 00:53:01,760
with you into these Delves. Like that stuff. And they're also apparently bringing in solo,

729
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:10,680
um, dungeons, which will run as normal five man dungeons, I believe, but we'll have AI.

730
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:15,520
So they'll have AI characters with you. They're basically making it more solo friendly because

731
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:22,880
oddly enough it's an MMO, the world's biggest MMO and most people play on their own. Yep.

732
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:27,860
Because that's just how it rolls. Because most people are cunts. Most people are cunts.

733
00:53:27,860 --> 00:53:35,560
And also I think a lot of people, you know, when you're, when you like gaming in a room,

734
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:40,360
but there's company. Yep. Me and Steph all the time, we're not interacting with each

735
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,840
other, but we're in the same room. And that makes me feel very warm and fuzzy inside.

736
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:50,680
Yep. So I feel like it's the same in something like, wow, we're just knowing that people

737
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:55,040
are around and that's the same with ESO. There's so many people just, just bobbing around.

738
00:53:55,040 --> 00:54:01,520
It's the same with Steep, Riders Republic. You grow accustomed to just having people

739
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,520
in the vicinity. You don't feel alone. It's nice to know people are doing the same shit

740
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:08,840
as you. Yeah. Um, so it's just, it's just, uh, it's just got hold of me a little bit

741
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:12,720
and that's absolutely fine. I've got till the 30th of December. Of course I'm going

742
00:54:12,720 --> 00:54:18,960
to resub. Of course I fucking am. Of course I am. Have I pre-ordered the next expansion?

743
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,960
Of course I have. Of course he fucking has. I'm being ridiculous. Of course I have. Did

744
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:26,160
you pre-order the big boy version? Not the biggest, but the middle one I did. What did

745
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:29,520
you get with that? A mount? You get a mount. Of course you do. A mount with a cool ability

746
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:35,320
on it. Um, uh, a, uh, a transmog armor set that looks very cool with all sorts of lightning,

747
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:40,000
a character boost that gives you a big old fucking renowned boost thing that you don't

748
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:45,680
need, but I thought fuck it. Why not? Um, and then a couple of other bits that I'm not

749
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:50,520
really interested in. What does the big boy version give you then? All of that. And then,

750
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:58,760
um, some in game like toy thing, um, game time, I think like 30 days game time, and

751
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:03,680
then a couple of other bits. Uh, and then they're also doing obviously the physical

752
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:07,880
release of it cause they do a collector's edition. So I might have a look at that as

753
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:13,720
well just to see cause they normally come with cool statues and shit like that. And

754
00:55:13,720 --> 00:55:19,400
that's that basically. Fair enough. This just got me. That's fine. I, it was never going

755
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,720
to leave you. It was never going to leave me. It's one of those addictions that I just

756
00:55:22,720 --> 00:55:28,080
can't, I can't shake it, mom. There's nothing like it. Well, I've been playing call of duty

757
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:37,120
and I've been playing Daisy and I'd say it's about it. Although I did much to your surprise,

758
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:42,320
I'm sure managed to redownload boulders gate free. Love it. So I redownloaded that. So

759
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:47,200
that is ready to go when I am ready. Cause I'm telling you now, I am not done. I will

760
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:53,560
finish that fucking game. Um, I'm scared to go back in cause where I left it was a very,

761
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:59,200
very tough boss fight. Probably the hardest possible I've been in and I stopped it cause

762
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:05,000
I was struggling at that time. So going back in after not playing for this long, it's going

763
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,900
to make it impossible. You're worried. I'm worried. So what I will be doing is leaving

764
00:56:08,900 --> 00:56:13,200
that boss fight and coming back at a later time to finish that. I respect and going and

765
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:17,160
doing some other stuff. That's not that pretty. What did you delete to redownload it? Nothing.

766
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:21,840
Call of duty. Just when you downloaded that big update after a while, it just condensed

767
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:26,200
itself into a smaller update. That's horrible. You've got to download the game and then you've

768
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:30,400
got to keep extra aside for it to do an update to then make it smaller. It sucks. I don't

769
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:36,320
know what I don't know how they do it. It's up to 200 and certain gig is called you. Fuck

770
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:41,240
me. Yeah. That's cause it's got fucking two games thrown into one game on a DLC thrown

771
00:56:41,240 --> 00:56:46,720
into it. Well, no, it's got modern warfare one, modern warfare two, modern warfare three.

772
00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:52,720
Yeah, but isn't there the option to not have. Yeah. So I've deleted a lot of the campaign

773
00:56:52,720 --> 00:56:57,400
stuff from all. Uh, obviously I don't need all that shit. Remember when they brought

774
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,800
that feature out where it's like, yeah, you could pick what, what aspects of the game

775
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,800
you wanted to download and it's like, how about just fucking make the current smaller?

776
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:09,160
It's still not, it's still confusing cause it'll be like multiplayer pack one, multiplayer

777
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:13,560
pack two. What ones of these do I need? Cause I don't fucking want them all. You know what

778
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:17,960
I mean? I want the current cod and that's it please. What is quite interesting is a

779
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:23,160
little update on nearly the other day and a couple of gig or whatever went on there.

780
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:29,240
Ooh, four new maps. Just four maps from MW two. So they've just bought probably four

781
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:33,800
of the worst maps as well forward to MW three. So not only are we playing all the really

782
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:38,920
old maps, we're now playing the last games maps. The shittest current maps. So we're

783
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:43,080
playing the maps of the game that this should be a DLC for. Oh, what a great game. I'm glad

784
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:49,800
that's worth the fucking 70 quid to 100 quid. Also, suck your mum. There's a, the war zone,

785
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:54,880
not war zone, the, uh, you know, DMZ mode. Yeah. They escaped from Tarkov mode that they

786
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:59,960
took off. Well, modern warfare three, they've got a different version of it is essentially

787
00:57:59,960 --> 00:58:05,640
the same, uh, but it's zombies. So you drop in. Yeah, I've seen stuff like that. It looks

788
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:09,520
quite cool. Take what gear you want in and then you go out, you can go and do missions.

789
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:13,080
You can kill zombies. Obviously there's loads of things to do around. You can go around

790
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:18,640
looting stuff and whatever you extract, if you keep, it's fucking sick. Me, Clarky Royce,

791
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:23,960
our mate, we're having a fucking blast on that. It's funny. We're fucking running around,

792
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:29,240
running zombies over, extracting. No, he loves it. Listen, listen, mom. He loves it. It's

793
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:34,320
really good. It's really fun. Um, and that's all I have to say on the matter. But yeah,

794
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:39,760
I'm all into my zombie shit at the moment. Um, mainly Daisy and war zone really. So that's

795
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:47,960
your breakdown. Also, go on. The zombie map on MW3 is the new war zone map when it comes

796
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,440
out. So it's your first time to really get a glimpse of what the war zone map is going

797
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:56,340
to be like. And it's, it's fucking, it's, it's close to Verdansk, which is war zone

798
00:58:56,340 --> 00:59:02,480
one map as we've been. Uh, so yeah, the map is exciting. Luckily for me, this microphone

799
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:09,560
and my headphones are quite big. Stretchy. Here we go. We're going to fuck that off then,

800
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:15,760
ain't we? Yeah. I need a wee. I need a wee. And then luckily for the Patreon listeners,

801
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:20,800
patreon.com forward slash what's the buttons on a download, download, download. I'm going

802
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:27,200
to bang this red ball back. So I'm going to be full of fucking beans. Where is it? Trust

803
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:31,240
me. It's there. You don't need to see it. Oh, it's one of the hold on. What? Wait, what's

804
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:35,480
the smaller version of that? Small version of that. There ain't a smaller version of

805
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:40,240
that. That's definitely is because there was this one. Oh shit. Yeah, there is. How many

806
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:45,040
is that? How many mils at 355? How much did you pay for that? 355 mil red ball. Three

807
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:51,240
pound 30. Fuck me. Fuck me. Fucking patrons paid for it. It's ridiculous though. In it

808
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:59,240
all the money. Absolutely unequivocal. Let's have it right. So scenario being 355 mil of

809
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:03,000
red ball, right? The middle version. There's the little one is a middle one is a big one.

810
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:07,840
Big one's too big. Little one's too small. The middle one's the one I want. Three pound

811
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:13,360
for one can. Takes a piss. Three pound 30 for two. That's why they've done it in it.

812
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:16,680
Who takes one in that position? Well, that's exactly why they've done it. Oh, I agree.

813
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:20,280
It's exactly why they've hiked up the price and then make you take even more. I stood

814
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:24,840
there for a good 30 seconds making this choice. So it wasn't an easy choice. I was, I was

815
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:30,160
upset. I felt dirty taking it to the till. Yeah. You've been done over. They bent you

816
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,760
over that counter and then shove the red ball up your ass. That's fine. Cause now I'm drinking

817
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:37,600
it. There you go. Dickhead have some of that. Fully caffeinated. Right. We'll see you on

818
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:54,880
the other side. We will. Uro. Uro.
