What's on the buttons the buttons button on it and here we are what's on them buttons i'm on the buttons got a cold
Sounds awful. I'm coming off the back of a cold
coffee snotty
stuffy
Headache
Yes
We'll do our best this episode or i'll do my best to not just fill it with world of warcraft, but it will be touched on
Yeah, mark said he's had enough
Uh, it was like he was like i haven't listened to last week's episode. I said fucking why not? He's like i'm not missing anything
I'm i said he was like it's all about world of warcraft. I said that's fucking interesting. He said no
He's got a point. It's like no fucking ain't this is the problem if you don't want to listen then it is very boring
So we'll just touch upon it for 45 minutes
We'll just fill yeah two-thirds of this and the patron episode with world of warcraft. I finally
properly plugged it to the to the guild
Um the other day when we was raiding
we were chatting about it and then um, they
looked up like I posted
what is it we got into the conversation it was something like um
I made a dig like you ain't fucking supporting me because you ain't listening to the podcast and they were like you ain't sent us a fucking
link so I put one in the discord and then um
Uh, they was like you got an instagram. I said yeah. Yeah, it's like what's the buttons?
Um, well obviously the instagram is what's the buttons podcasting it?
Um, well, they all looked up. What's the buttons?
And obviously it's the streaming one in it the people from abadine or wherever the fuck they're from
Um, and I was making a point of saying how we don't have an apostrophe in what's
And they're like you fucking do turns out the instagram itself actually did have an apostrophe in it, which i've now changed
I got rid of that. Um
One of them asked it he was like
He was like is it all the is it this instagram page of all the shit posting and blurry pictures?
I went what?
Straight away. I was offended. What the fuck you on about?
So what do you mean and I had a look and I flicked through it and I went well
I wouldn't say it's shit posted. I said they're definitely not grainy. Yeah, he was looking at the wrong page when he
The other one I was like fair enough yeah some cracking stuff on it
Well, we just put fucking just looking anything relevant
To the episode look at that random one. Look 23rd of august 22
Wow
world of warcraft yeah
Destiny 2 lightfall revealed of all oh no this was me wow as in wow

Well pathetic yeah, that was your fucking that's a cracking picture as well
Look some great artistic flare there. You're welcome
Fantastic, that's my leviathan axe. I know it's fantastic. Isn't it? So it's barely any likes. No, what do you mean?
Well when you die
Oh, yeah, left it to me in your will side note. Yeah when I did my will
I need to look at that really because I can't remember. What is it because i've marks in it as well
Look at our old what's the buttons logo?
Look
What the fuck's that that was that was a twitter?
There's a twitter logo that we had jesus christ before stef so kindly created the masterpiece that is that's crazy, isn't it?
I want to listen back to the old episodes, but I can't bring myself to do it. I've listened to the first one
Don't want to do it. I don't want to do it
That was my prize position before anakin turn up. Yep decent. Oh man
Man the old times bro. It's weird, isn't it flicking through that it does make quite proud actually
Look how many games i've played and fell in love with and then said their shit and never said that they're the goats
Look at all these goats on this page
It's even used fighting on the old, uh elden ringlet. Oh, is that on there as well twin swords?
You've been updating the ticky tocky. You need to plug that as well. What did I bang on there?
But i'll put in tick tocks, isn't yeah, I put a clip on there the other day of fucking
Being me screaming at the controller
Wreck fest you played wreck fest or something wreck. Yeah. Yeah, right. Yeah wreck fest you put a post on that
Yeah, it was decent
Double decent what I have noticed is uh
Go on getting a lot less likes as time goes on
Yeah, well
Here's what it is. I mean habits change
Hello, there's you beating melena
Oh 13 for september 2022 2022 bro in 2024 now disgusting
Come on 2022. That was when I was screaming at
I was chatting to you. Were edge runners and you weaseled out of that fucking bit
Edge runners. Oh, there's me getting my platinum trophy on destiny hiding in the corner
Why the big boys finished it than the fucking nightfall master strike shit, whatever it was
Because that games died in it
Yeah, I don't think uh people ain't happy man. And I know it's a shame because that what they
someone posted earlier that they've they've given you the ability to um
Toggle your helmet on and off or saying while you're playing rather than just cut scenes or just when you're in the tower
Yeah, and people like it's games been out for seven years
Why are we excited about this? Yeah, why is this a decent thing? Look at you the drac theory volca
Has arrived with phase two of the pre-patch on warcraft and we are mega excited
That was before we were we weren't it? I know now it is we he sat here
With a for the alliance mug. Is that me? What are we meaning?
You can fucking edit that and change that now
All right, he's got a fucking for the alliance mug
Proper world of warcraft and i've got a for the horde mug. It's proper fucking
Fucking nerdy up in here man game awards the first one that we covered
Oh high on life
We was all over it. We still are dreamlike valley. That was an interesting episode
Remember that argument
Fucking hell
That got a bit tasty that one didn't it?
Oh, there was my pokemon phase
La quarry last of us tv series. Oh, there's you two love birds
Mmm recording. We set it up recording a stephys ode stephys ode so i'll happily name it which I love you've just mentioned two things
That we can touch on today
Which is obviously you had the last of us part two
Remaster
Is out and about yeah available for your your gaming pleasure. I have not bought it nor do I intend to buy it
It's only a tenner though, isn't it? I know it is cheap. It is cheap
I'm not really seeing the remaster effect though
the side by sides aren't
There's nothing crazy because it was already fucking real decent
So it seems a bit odd. I like the skins though. It's a proper mug. Thanks, by the way
I'm looking at this thinking I need a new mug as well. Yeah, you take that home. So this will be my my wow mug
It's nice, isn't it? No, I like I like the colors. Thank you nerd base. I rate it highly
I'm gonna love another cup a cup in the cupboard that we can't shut anyway
I've got the other day with darrell big day. Yeah, my man. He was fucking he's buying some pokemon cars. I quickly popped down
Let's look
No, you know, no it was too it was too quick. I was house sitting so I was literally six minutes away
And I was in and out in about 20 minutes. Listen, you knew I wouldn't come
I could have just punted and god you want to come back? Yeah, bless you. Never mind. You knew I was no
No, I cut I cut that section out. I didn't need to because I knew you weren't gonna come
I don't know what I don't know what you were doing. I'm pretty sure you were playing well
So sounds like something i'll be doing. Yeah, so you weren't was it sunday?
uh
It might have been yeah, I had a couple of hours free the mrs went out with the kids
Yeah
Mrs went out with the kids all day. So that's why I was playing well in the daytime. Yeah
And I could have come
Mugged me right off. Well, you didn't though did you?
There was now going on he just bought some pokemon cars. He's going to fucking he's going to the pokemon regionals, isn't he?
Is he? Yeah
Is he got a favorite? I know a lot. I don't know a lot. I know a fair few
Competitors there because I watched a lot of youtube when I was playing the uh competitive pokemon scene mcclark
Um, he's going to the one in liverpool. Um
Yeah, he said that I can't remember what they were called but like you can play
Like competitively but non-competitively like side match shit where there's prizes and stuff. He said he was gonna
He's gonna take his deck and and and crack on I want to go. I just want to watch him
big fucking burly soldier cunt he's
Stepping in like, well, I move out my way. I'm I play pikachu
I'm pretty sure he's going with his powers as well. So it might be the most dangerous group in that whole building
but he also said there's a
There's like a pokemon thing going on at the excel in april and he's going with his powers and he did invite me
um, cheers for the invite d will you
You don't talk to him as much as I do. I don't see him as much as you do
Yeah, so you don't have to see someone to talk to him. Do you I reply to his messages?
I'll ring him every day every day without fail. Oh you would
Every morning and every afternoon he gets phone calls from me. Listen, he knows he knows where his fucking bread's
Do you mean his bread's fucking buttered over here with this dairy cow, right? Not for much longer here
Anyway, we're still my last of us. What are you going on all this shit? I haven't seen that much about it
I saw some polarizing opinions
I've seen some people say fucking amazing. What a what a great thing
Especially for a tenner rah rah rah and then i've seen people go what the fuck is this piece of shit
Who wanted this crap? No difference rah rah rah and i've also seen
The neutral standpoint on whilst this is really good value for money rah rah rah
I don't understand why a game that's solely based on the cycle of violence and the reason for it is now turned into a random
Roguelike where the violence is just meaningless and you're just fighting
so
Many opinions have to be had continuous fighting in it, but then at the same point you take a
Gameplay element out of a very good game
And you put it into a interesting experience last of us part two remastered review
Unmissable repacking of modern classic. How is it a classic?
What do you mean modern classic? It's pretty good. Yeah, but it's not a modern classic
What would you consider a modern classic?
You fucking heathen. I'll just get rid of the word modern. How can you have a modern classic?
How can something be classic when it's modern?
Because it's it's a blockbuster
Well, yeah, but that's not a classic though. Is it I don't understand that term a modern classic
How does that work? Well, what about a bit of classical music that come out today?
Well, yeah, but that's that's a whole genre you don't have a classic genre do you?
Because once you you have a classic genre that was well, what was classic before it was classic then
Was classic music something else before it was classic classic one or five point four?
I need to I need to look at the meaning of classic because I don't know if we think it's the same thing
Yeah, all right. Okay
Hmm
Maybe I don't know so the the objective of uh
Of classic means judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind
But doesn't say what period of time so I guess it does work
um
The last was part two remastered has a 90 on metacritic
Classic normally means high quality apparently so well it is high quality
So yeah, we'll give them that so we can stumble over that first sentence
The guardian gave it a hundred
Xt n 93 don't listen to newspaper reviews
I always just imagine it's fucking some old boy that don't play computer games. No idea
They always give really bad reviews or the highest score possible
Yeah, they've read off the the system requirements and the frames per second and everything and what kind of monitor you can run it on
And then that's about it. Yeah, I think it was going great. This is good
so yeah a 90 on
on um on the old fucking
Metacritic
Play design gave it a 40
The last was part two remastered is not a remaster at all at best it has some new features that should be should have been free
No, no return rogue like game mode is lackluster and there is no point in playing it
The last of us combat was complementing the story and it did so very well
Unlike no return, which is basically hide and seek with extra steps for a layman
The graphic improvements are unnoticeable, especially if you haven't played it in a while
And there are a bunch of new bugs that were previously absent falling through the ground missing limbs on character models, etc
The lost chapters are neat to get some dev insight but are almost unplayable as they are mostly alpha
This should have been a free dlc for the fans and not a quick money grab naughty dog. Take a note from santa monica studios
Yeah, i'd say so. I mean, I don't I can't speak sam played it too much
But no we can because we were gaming podcast. I mean, I can't fuck we want. Yeah
But i'm not gonna shit on them because i haven't played it, but i'm not gonna shit on them too much
But what I will say is that
I've seen it played. I was playing access player. They was doing like a little head-to-head thing on different tvs and stuff
I mean it looked cool, but if you're really into last of us combat then yeah, but when it that would be for me
That's the only
like
Trying to think of a smart word
Uh, but I can't remember what it's called. So tractor beam
That's what i'm trying to think of. It's the only tractor beam pulling me in
Basically is that mode because the other things so there's like lost chapter light which is just dev commentary over it or so
That's a youtube job all day for me. I'm not interested in doing that. Yeah, and the graphical improvements
mistake me if i'm wrong if they if that is
The graphics were fucking phenomenal. Yeah, they were very good. I can't see him getting much better
Apart from the odd texture, which whatever the fuck ever and uh, I don't know if it was 30 frames a second
If it's 30 now 60 juicy, but still not a pulling factor for me
So the game mode itself would be the only pull and it's not going to pull me back in because once again as I reiterated that
Other fella said the game was made for like the story not the combat the combat is like that
Giza said is is like a part of it
drives it along but
Should have been a bit more of a
Long book should have not not closed down the idea of the multiplayer and then charge 10 quid for that
That's that's also going to sell a lot of people's uh, opinions on it because people like myself loved factions
Um, and now they've canned that and bought this out
So if you'd if you'd have slapped if you'd have slapped like what they've done with this with this remaster
If you just slapped a a 10 pound upgrade for that
If you previously had the game or like a 40 quid bundle
For that that they're doing currently if you didn't own the game and you get the remaster with it
Then it would have it would have fucking
Exploded off the shelves people would have been all over it, especially for something as cheap as a tenner
for a for a game mode that everyone fucking loved because I just can't see
what the point of
Of this is it's almost like
days gone
And remove the mini games that you get access to at the end and then bring them back for a tenner
I'm also just very confused like
So that in in in a month's time
Frame period. Mm-hmm. We've had two big
Sony exclusive drop to roguelike game modes in their games. Hmm
Why?
I don't know what's going on. I don't know i'm confused
I also don't know what's what what there is to be announced what's what's in the works. I don't I don't know
the the one thing that will have pissed naughty dog off on told him out so i'm sure is
God of war going see this roguelike and all the story stuff that's implemented in this that drives the story forward and it's meaningful
It's free. Yeah. Oh you want our one? It's a tenner at least
You know, that's when they saw that and it was free. They're probably like, ah you fuckers
Yeah
Yeah, this one's completely free
We don't need any of this it I don't know apparently naughty dog are working on
What did we say? Was it like two?
A couple of ips or something like that. Oh, have you seen the indiana jones?
Oh, I just bit my lip. No
Is that indiana jones? Yeah, you'll see the xbox showcase yesterday
No, I didn't know they do showcase yesterday. Yeah, I don't think they normally do so they showed uh avowed
avowed
I heard of that. I think it's called avowed. It's uh the uh, you know the people that made um
Outer worlds obsidian. We don't fall under vegas. Yeah, they're rpg medieval
high fantasy stuff
Um, they showed hellblade 2
um, they showed uh indiana jones
Yep, which is buffezda
Um, and they showed a couple other things that i'm not i can't i can't quite place
Uh, but the indiana jones is interesting right? It's got arrison ford. Yeah. Yeah, it's his face. It's indiana jones
Yep
I'll give you three guesses who's voicing him
Who's voicing him? Yeah, chris pratt. No, no
That would have been great, uh
Good guess who would voice him? Yeah, I don't know
Who who is voicing him?
The only voice in video games man. You've got to start dishing it out to other people
Troy baker. Oh is he it's always him? Yeah, but he's got a fantastic voice and he has
But he is not the only person that has voice acting
And also a bit weird having indiana jones's face and troy baker's voice
Why didn't they don't know i've watched the trailer i've watched it it looks
Very interesting harrison ford dead
No, so why didn't they just get harrison ford disrespect to hand solo bro? So why didn't they just get him to do it?
I don't know
I don't know probably because he's too fucking expensive and apparently he's a bit of an arse to work with don't know about that
Don't talk about hand but yeah, I don't know
I just find it a bit jarring now in the trailer you hear troy baker talk and I will say
Very fucking good and it does actually sound like harrison ford but because I know it's not harrison ford
It's quite jarring to me. I find it quite
Quite unusual. Yeah, but you'll get used to that but also which I think is clever and it's just dawned on me now
Is his first person?
So if you can't see his face, you're gonna forget that he's hand solo
Indiana jones anyway. What's the point then gimmick? No, you see him when he climbs drain pipes. Oh fantastic
So what is this? What is this? Is this the shit tomb raider? No. Yeah
Bro, it looks good. It looks good. Does look very good
I'm gonna give it that but looks can be deceiving it might be shit, but it looks good. So we have
Everything announced at the xbox developer direct 2024
Okay, go and hit me obsidian's new rpg avowed sets full sets full 2024 release window
My fucking kickstarter has been pushed back again. Is this the last of us? Yeah because of because of everything going on with the fucking
um series canal and shit like that and trading routes being fucking piracy basically
Fee need to remove your back and just be like i've had enough give him more money back
No, okay
No, i'm not doing that. Okay. I want it. It's coming
Okay, it's coming. I've seen the pictures. It's coming. Just have some patience. Um
Um avowed shows off polished combat in new footage that looks like an improved skyrim complete with guns and loadouts
Um guns is a stretch. I quote pistol. It's not just hacking and slashing
Uh hellblade 2 is officially four months away hellblade 2's brutal combat should make you feel the hero struggle in every step of her journey
Hellblade 2 is 50 quid or 50 dollars digital only
see
And about eight hours long
I know excuse me
The same same same length as the original
Digital only 50 quid and eight hours. That's the this conversation needs to be had about let's have some of that
I want some of that, please. Um that better be on game pass visions of mana reveals. Um summer release
That's a weird looking game, man
Uh, blah blah, blah. Ahra history untold gets a full 2024 release window indiana jones and the great circle
Is out this year and looks like first person uncharted with wolfenstein combat and more nazis when you put it like that. It sounds cool
Indiana jones and the great circle is set between the stories of raiders of the lost ark and the last crusade
Todd howard says
He what you laughing at? It's just the name right? It's just like fourth time i've heard it and I can't
I see you got what indiana jones and the great circle. What's that name? I don't know you got indiana jones
And the kingdom of the crystal skull. Yeah, you got indiana jones and the temple of doom. Yep
Raiders of the lost ark indiana jones and the big circle. Yeah
Raiders of the loss of the lost ark the last crusade
The great circle. I mean, what's that man? Come on. Todd howard says he's been sitting on everything about the indiana indiana jones game
forever from um
What indy was going after to the ark he was going to have
I'll tell you what you should do
Pause the podcast quickly and just watch the trailer and i'll put a light on and then you can talk about it because it looks good
Well, you can put a light on now. Yeah
I can watch the i'll come watch the fucking trailer now. No, i'll watch it then indiana
Indiana jones game. How long is the trailer three minutes? Yeah, that's what I mean. All right, let me pause this and fucking
Have a look
Okay, i've seen it i've watched it thoughts
See genuine faults on that no lie make something up fucking genuine you plum, uh
Meh
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know man. Do you like indy though? No
Uh, oh that matters that matters indiana jones and like tomb raider and stuff like that for some reason
I've never and stef's always begging me to play tomb raider
Because I just don't find them interesting but uncharted
Absolutely love them. What tomb raider is she asking you to play?
uh
One with shadow in it. Well, I don't know so she's probably asking you play modern ones
Yeah, the modern ones. Yeah. See I grew up on like one of my first ever games on playstation was
Two meter one and it was so fucking hard when I was a kid like a kid kid
I would just keep swan diving and breaking a neck because it was a looks like a thing you did you just
Jumped off big ice and he went
It was really really weird. I'm not playing that old shit. No, no, no, I wouldn't either
Tough games. I've watched her play them and they look decent. I just can't I can't um, I don't know
They've just never really grabbed me and what I saw there
does look good
but
I'm not I can't say i'm a massive fan of the whip combat
That does look a bit janky
um
also
The transition from when he's you when he's swinging on that whip
Goes to third person and then swaps back to first person when you enter combat. I'm not really sure how that's going to look
um, but yeah, it looks it looks if you're an indiana jones fan
Or remotely interested then I feel like it'll be quite decent but
How how much more different will it be from the likes of uncharted?
Time will tell you know, I mean it feels like xbox's answer to
Uncharted but it looks decent um
Don't get me wrong. I'm not bursting at scenes, but I think it's quite good
Yeah, yeah, I think when it comes out, that would definitely be interesting. Hopefully it's on game pass. It'll be good to see um
But yeah, I mean
um
Is what it is. You know i'm saying i apologize that I can't give you the
It looked good. It's just um
It gives a fuck
Well, I do who cares because I like indie I want to talk about the main fucking event hit me
pow world
Pokemon with guns pow world everyone's going on. I might talk to you a little bit about pow world
What is that because over here at what's the buttons we're current?
And everything that we talk about is on it's on nail on the head
That's exactly why we're playing a 20 year old game at the moment
Yes, but we just spoke about a showcase that come out that was that was aired yesterday that you had no idea
I had no idea about and we're talking about a game that
went live
Today it comes out today. Yeah, it was today. Okay. Yeah, I've heard good things people are going wild for it
I have heard extremely good things
extremely very good things I saw someone capture a human in a poke pokeball and then you can sell them or
Or what is this or you can make them work in your camp?
So basically slavery has been introduced in human trafficking
It's in this game. It's on the xbox man. It's about 30 quid. It's not on fucking game pass
Uh, I don't know but it's on steam and I am very tempted to buy it just because it looks so
Fucking weird, but apparently um, let me get the let me get some reviews up. So it is basically
It's a survival game
But it's pokemon, but you can
You shoot these pokemon with guns and you can also get your pokemon to shoot other pokemon with guns
But you can also turn them into slaves and work on your camp that you need to build
Or you can ride them
Sounds a bit like arc as well imagine imagine arc
Mixed in with pokemon. It's all it's on game pass, man. Is it on game pass?
So it's free really subscribe for one month play it then bin it. Yeah, I might have to do that
Rather than paying the 30 quid on steam
It just depends how much you like it
um
pow world how
How nintendo haven't random up the arse for fucking plagiarism because there's definitely pokemon on there that just straight up
They're just straight up copies. I know I saw some and i'm like bro. That is pikachu. That is pidgey
I really don't I really don't understand that yellow thing there. Look, how is that not just an angry pikachu?
You know what I mean? That's a zealobie or whatever. They're fucking cool, didn't they like it's it's
It's so it says um
What did I have here? I didn't want fucking reddit, please. I just wanted a normal
a normal fucking
Because it's early access
and
Oh, I got a horrible cough
Nothing about what pow world attempts to do seems like it should work in the slightest a tiny a thinly veiled pokemon clone
Pokemon game where you and your collectible monsters shoot people in the face with literal guns a base building survival game where you use your kidnapped creatures as laborers
And then forced to cook and eat those unpaid employees when times get tough
Yes, you can cook and eat the pokemon that you have captured. I haven't seen it done on the humans
But i'm positive that you'd be able to do it on them as well. Is it online?
I don't know
um i'll find out
A base building survival game where you use your kid
blah blah blah
An open world co-op
Adventure where you and your friends. Yeah, it is it is online where you and your friends
Whack helpless sheep over the head with a baseball bat to harvest their wall
Defying the odds this wholly irreverent
Gun toting take on the creature collection genre has proven unrelentingly fun for the 15 hours i've binged so far
Its survival mechanics are intuitive and deep its action-packed combat is silly and satisfying
And exploring the world in search of new pals to kick um to kick the snot out of
Hasn't come close to getting old all of which is even more impressive considering. This is just its early access release
I am baffled to report dear reader that pow world is very good. It's it's cosplay as well
Well, despite despite the clear eyebrow raising inspiration it takes from a certain creature collecting power house
power world more closely resembles a form you
a form formulaic survival game like grounded
With a roster of lovable monsters to capture as a clever twist on that formula. You remember grounded
Yeah, when you're really small
Um, you find yourself inexplicably
Dropped into the wilderness of a strange land filled with oversized dangerous beasts called pals from there
You'll need to build a base hilariously force and lo
Force the local fauna into your servitude and upgrade your gear to wage war against the rotten members of the syndicate
Who try to murder you with assault weapons every chance they get
You won't find yourself hanging out in idyllic towns or challenging gym leaders to friendly contests
This isn't that kind of adventure unless it has a very stark change of tone later on instead
Your goal is to survive the harsh land and face off against evil and or psychotic pow trainers who raise
villages
Attack your base and command for boating towers and dungeons filled with goons who shoot to kill and yeah tonally
That's an utterly unhinged combination
One moment. Uh, I was taking a pastel taking a pastel views as I explored for new powers gliding climbing crafting and cooking like that
Like this was an off-brand tears of the kingdom the next moment
I was firing guns at armed thugs and considering the possibility of butchering a pal who had been mentally broken by the poor working
Conditions of my sweatshop so I could consume his meat to avoid starvation
What the fuck is going on?
Rather than not addressing the questionable aspects of the creature collecting genre
Power world amusingly leans into them and lets you do absurd things like pick up your fiery fox pal
And use it as a flamethrower to burn your enemies to a crisp or equip your monkey pal with a machine gun
Which sure sure beats using tail whip once you get over how incredibly weird that all feels. It's a complete blast
This is the quote it's definitely a bit weird to hack a penguin unconscious with an axe
What the fuck is this game?
There's more I won't finish this is a long it's a long review if you played it on your computer
What would it be because it says that there's cross play but not between steam and xbox
But it's cross between pc and xbox. Yeah, so we'd be fine
So if I had it on on game pass, we'd be able to we'd be able to play together on it
That's mad
It's a weird game. I'm gonna have to look i'm gonna have to watch some shit before I
Think about it's gotta be
It's gotta be one of the most ridiculous
Most ridiculous games ever but what I find most ridiculous about this game and games of this ilk that just come out of nowhere
Who's made this like who's sat there in their heads and come up with this stuff?
I don't know obviously it must start off as a bit of a joke and then they take it seriously and then they're looking
Thinking ah, but it is a bit of a piss take in it and then they come out and everyone's like oh, that's great
It just take out a gun and riddle your target with lead before stuffing it into a capture sphere
It feels extremely wrong at first to be sure but I found myself disturbingly used to the ritual after a few hours
It's mental powers themselves on the other end are quite as original
Um aren't quite as original as a process of catching them as i'd mostly describe
The ones i've seen is almost copyright infringement
Seriously, there's a mouse like lightning pal a sassy two-legged cat pal
A dinosaur with a flower on its head and many more that reminded me an awful lot of some collectible
Look at this. All right, that's a pokeball for starters. Look at pikachu. He's even got a lightning bolt on his stomach
Like
I know I know they're either gonna be massive and this is gonna grow into like one of them mad games that everyone loves
Or they're gonna get sued and fucked at the end of the day
Everyone was jumping on including including myself on the bandwagon of going how the fuck can you get away with this when you got?
Pokemon but I was thinking today when I was reading up on it and watching videos and stuff like that
I was like
Yeah
Nintendo owned pokemon
But also there's nothing stopping anyone else from giving it a crack
You had you had digimon back in the day, you know what I mean? Like there there's
No one's really put the pressure on to try and come up with something and I digimon but they're not copying pikachu in that
And it's just called digital monsters as a ghost pocket monsters. Yeah, but that yeah, but that also that isn't fucking a proper pikachu
Is it that's a thing flying about that is fucking what's her face? I know there's some very
Questionable questionable. It's that it is the fucking pokemon if aldi and little can do it
Fucking pow world can do it. I'm all for competitiveness. This is mental
They're throwing pokeballs at pikachu
I mean
If you're gonna make a pokemon game and you the pokemon like and you're gonna put pikachu in it
Don't put a lightning bolt on him as well because it's just so
It's so obvious
I wonder if I can get uh, um, they've even got the starter pokemon
What is this?
I can't believe what i'm witnessing. Just trying to find just trying to find out. Um
It looks very fun though. It looks very cool. It looks very good for the for the sake of spending what like nine quid or whatever
It is on on game pass
Yeah, i'm all fucking down for it. I don't know why they needed to add guns
It was fine without the gun developer pocket pair
They're fucking building that is pretty in depth, you know
Hello everyone
We are blown away with the response to pow world and we're doing our best to respond to your issues currently our server provider
Reporting the due to large amount of cum current blood blah blah
blah blah. Yeah, it's crazy, isn't it?
Yeah, it's wild bro
I i have pretty high expectations. They probably thought they're gonna put this out and it was gonna you know be like
Oh, this is a cool game. But I think yeah, this is this is mental
i'm just flicking through a list now of all of the um
Players can expect over 111 pals to currently find in pow world
um
and
It's basically send it well, that's just the fucking sheep pokemon for a start my reap and it's called lambal
What's this
I don't know what that one is, but oh fuck me
this one's called
foxpox and that's just the fire fox fucking
It's crazy in it
There are some picks basically there are some very
Some very questionable
I really like it
The art style was a bit odd
Because it's like cartoony with a realistic background. It's weird, isn't it? It's it's it's a bit a bit of a strange one
um, but I
I saw someone running a sweatshop where they were making guns
I was watching pokemon make guns and they were like, he's all exhausted
So they're probably eaten by now. I just want to see the animation
But yeah the the the one of the person catching a geezer
It was just a shootout and he got him down to like seven percent health and he was streaming it and someone said
Throw a pokeball at it
And he did and yeah caught him and then he was like what the fuck am I and then he went to like some
Um some shop and yeah, you could sell him for like 600 gold or something like that
He was like what the fuck is I was like what is this? It's like i'm a slaver
Pokemon with guns is so popular the servers can't handle it power world has entered early access to the tune of over
300,000 concurrent players crazy in it
It's the twist on pokemon that we never thought we would lose people are even calling it pokemon with guns so
So if that's they're gonna take notice look at the end of the day
If genshin impact can continue doing what they've been doing and be as popular as they are then there's no reason why power world can't continue
Zelda yeah, but only
I've played genshin impact and i've played zelda and all I can see is yeah
They probably was one of the first games to implement the little power glider thing other than that the art looks similar
But the game is just completely different
You you're still fucking there's a lot more to genshin impact than there is zelda. I'll be honest with you
Zelda's got a lot of intricate things going on, but it's just a single player game with like interesting mechanics. This is like
Fucking dungeons bosses and all sorts of stuff. I don't see that other than artistically looking the same gameplay wise
Not really. I'm currently opening up the game pass
I'm having a little look at you. Don't you fucking leave me again? I'm not fucking leaving you
I haven't left you in the first place. He has left me
I haven't go back
No
Go back to a couple of episodes where we was talking about you about me introducing you properly into world of warcraft and giving you
The right time blah blah blah blah
And I said I want to get it to a point where I can where I can mold you
into a player that is self-sufficient
And for the time being whilst you're getting to max level you are self-sufficient
Because once you hit level 70 you aren't you aren't gonna be you're gonna need my support and I want to be level 70
I've had enough. I want to be level 70 now
So if you fucking back your ideas up buck your ideas up did you jump on and fucking help me?
Do you not want to finish the campaigns? I don't care anymore. I just want to get 70. What zone are you in?
I don't fucking know mate. I don't know. I'm back in another zone. You're in an hour of play
I keep jumping in dungeons, so it spits me out of whatever dungeon portal I was last in so I don't know
I don't know what do you mean? You keep jumping into dungeons. I'm just queuing dungeons
Well, yeah
But when you leave them it spits you back out to exactly where you were when you joined
Wherever I because I had a quest to do a dungeon so I flew somewhere to hand that question
After I finished it how come I get no boxes anymore either. I ain't had a single box. I get boxes anymore at level
At 60
You don't get the boxes
Don't happen pissing me off bro. Annoyingly though. You've got if you were to do the campaign. You've got two more zones
At least just for the main campaign. We don't do it, but I want to just play man. I want to I want to
I want to start looking at her
Why I don't know
Just funsies in it. We'll see what else is about but I want to get to 70
I want to get some gear. I want to get some of the drop and be like, oh look look
It is absolutely fine. Like I say
I've got ahead of the curve. All right, so as far as raiding goes we're done for the season
All right, we we aren't like everyone else we get the achievement we get the amount that we want and then we fucking mellow out
There is no more purpose
For me to get more gear when it comes to mythic plus
I've already got 2000 rating on on mythic plus which means I get the mount from that. I've got the achievement
2500 rating you get some transmog that I'm not fucking interested in so that can that can go on the back burner as well
I'm not interested in it
So now what you have naturally is everyone's just going to start looking at ults
You get the odd few who will stay with their main characters and get them as fucking high tier as possible like max
They will get to the top
Aston who's our heel one of our healers. He's like rank three in I don't know
I don't think it's the world but in europe or whatever like he is he's fucking he's that guy
He's top tier man. He's he's a decent human being. He probably isn't listening to this, but I really like him
And he's he's like fucking he's top tier type shit
um
and
Yeah, like so you just get people
That's why I was getting flustered. Oh, what do I want to play? What I want to do because I'm like
I really like my paladin, but also
I just can't be bothered because I've got it to a point where I'm happy I can leave this
So that's why I've gone right. Well, you want to do loads of dungeons. I want to try something new new but not new
Let me swap over to protection paladin. So I'm now a tank. So when we go and do our dungeons
We'll get in quick queues because I'll be a tank so it'll be instant basically from the minute we queue
Boom boom boom will be straight in because i'm a tank
And then you won't have to worry you can fucking learn what's going on because i'll be holding all the aggro we can do whatever we want
We'll get you to 70
And then we'll fucking sort out some gear. We'll go to the latest zone the emerald dream
Where you'll have to do the world quest and shit, but you'll be getting there. We gear fucking slapped you across the face
We'll go into lfr
Do the raid. Yeah, you can see that and all the fucking madness that goes on with it
And then we'll fucking go on from there. And then if you want to make a new character, we'll make a new character
I just want to fucking get 70. I want to feel like i've donezoed it. You know, i've done it i've got 70 now I can like
Open up and feel like i'm getting powerful because at the moment it's just pointless like it looks cool. I'm getting cool trans
No, it's not but you know what? I mean, I want to get stuff meaningful
I want to get something that goes. Oh, this is sick and it's powerful. I want that feeling at the moment
I'm just like yeah cool cape
Well, of course shoes. You know, I mean, it's no no no, I want to go. Oh fucking because you know in three levels
Yeah, all of your shit is gonna be because i'm so close now
It's hurting is this stress me out. What we'll do get me there. Give me that what we'll do
Is when you hit level 70?
I'll go to the auction house and you can buy
item level four
24 gear
And i'll buy you a load of gear because all that's going to happen is when we go to the animal dream and shit like that
You're going to get fucking whammed
You're going to get absolutely battered because your gear is not there. How long does it take you to just kill a fucking?
Like a pack of three elite mobs in a dungeon just a normal dungeon
uh
Does it take like, you know, well, you're not supposed to be killing them on your own
Well, no, but i'm just saying for argument's sake right just one elite mob. Yeah, because you do kill elites outside maybe
Maybe like 15 seconds
It takes me ages if that 10 15 seconds fucking ages and I don't know if i'm doing something wrong
I need to find out probably not you're probably not doing something wrong your I don't feel like I am
Which is a good feeling because yesterday as I said to you that geezer that was sitting by the river
It was supposed to be pissing me off man
And at one point he even said oh fuck's sake because I died because everyone was fucking dying because you're not healing
I was getting I'm not a shit talker. So I was getting angry with myself at him, but personally, uh
Because every other dungeon i'd done kushti. I was like, i'm I don't even need to help heal
Because the healer's clearly doing the job properly i'm looking over at my character and seeing these little green numbers over my face
I'm obviously getting healed constantly
Occasionally I had to dip out going visible and heal but that's fine
But and and then obviously the tank was doing his job because I was just whacking everything in the back because they were attacking him
But then this one fuck me them eyes kept popping up and then everything all of them were just turning to me and I was like
Turning i'm running trying to go invisible. Uh, because everything's coming towards me. I'm like what are you doing?
Where's the why's the tank not doing his job? I don't know what eyes you're on about two big red eyes appear over your head like this
I don't know what eyes you're on about two big red eyes appear over your head like this
Do they yeah
Let me see what did what do you know? Do you remember what dungeon you was in?
The ruby pools, I think the ruby life. No, not that one. Actually. It was the one. Uh, what did it look like?
Is the one with a tree boss in it?
Tree boss and there's poison on the floor was it after the tree boss? No, no, no, it's right at the beginning right at the beginning
right at the beginning
I'm trying to think because
there are
I'm pretty sure there's mobs in there
That have an ability where they essentially lock on
to
a character
And there's nothing the tank can do and that character has to what they call kite
They have to kite them. Okay, which is yeah
I'm i'm pretty sure there's I mean would inevitably end up in one of those in the dungeon again. It's called Brackenhyde Hollow
Is is that dungeon?
Um, it's fucking horrible. I don't like it. It's a very not fun dungeon. The one with the tree boss in it
Yeah, like a werewolfy thing. Yeah, he's like give me meat. Give me meat
Yeah, yeah, you have to you have to release the prisoners. Yeah, yeah, that's Brackenhyde. It's a bit shit
hmm
We'll find out because uh, because when when we're playing together anyway, i'll be able to see a dps
Compared to everyone else. Yeah, i'll need you to because I thought yesterday
I was doing a solid old fucking job to be honest with you
But yeah, i've done the follower dungeon
You know the one which I also don't really like this dungeon either because it just seems to take forever
You know dungeon I said I'll take over an hour on you have to like fly around to different bosses before you can get
To the last one because the storm shoots you out the sky. Yeah
Yeah, that one took me fucking ages on the follower dungeon and then when i've done it with other people
Light work easy peasy lemon squeezy done it so quickly
um
So yeah, the follower dungeon did help me because
In that dungeon, i'm sorry i won't talk about this for much longer
In that dungeon, there's a dragon in it. One of the bosses is a dragon, right?
And he kept killing me as when I was doing the follower dungeon. I was like what the fuck man
Yeah, and I realized you shoot the ballistas at him to stun him because the aoe attack
He does doesn't stop until you stun him. Yeah, so you have to go and shoot the ballistas
Which I which i'd worked out but I didn't realize you had to use a certain ballista every time because there's a call
Yeah, I'm on yeah, I didn't realize that when I realized that I was like, oh, okay
So when I went in with the proper people
I was like, I know what's going on here
And then I was already over there waiting and then as soon as it cooled down
I pressed it and one of the guys was on his way over saw me there
180 didn't come back because I knew what I was doing thanks to the follower dungeon. So they are good
But the other two dungeons, there's not really any mechanics in it that really need that sort of intricacy. So it's all good
And if I was gonna be a fucking nightmare
Why because it's gonna be all over the place because it's nfr people don't really
There's some mechanics that you have to do but there's also because
People doing it are generally just so over geared for it. You can kind of skip most of the mechanics
And you just hack and slash your way through it
but
you like
You can google it and see what you are actually supposed to do or anything or we'll be together doing it anyway
And I can tell you because chances are i'll be fucking tanking it for the first time ever
Just to see what goes on
You'll be learning too then yeah, probably but if I fuck up it's more of a fuck up
Yeah, but I don't care because you're fucking up. There's only two of us and I go. Oh whoopsie daisy
Fuck them. Fuck them. You know what I mean? Go find another group with a gang gang
How long we done anyway?
50 let's do another 10
Let's give them another 10 minutes, shall we don't know why they're not the paying customers, right? Feeling all right
I want to play well bro. I want to go and play well man
So fucking time for shit. You have a problem
You have an obsessive problem. I got a problem. I want to get to level 70. I want to get my gear
I want to get done. I don't know how you haven't reached it yet. Fuck off. I've been playing it non-stop. I'd like exactly
Exactly because I've just been doing quests. I ain't dungeoned. This is like the first time yesterday. I started doing dungeons
Because I was like I want to do the main quest. I'm like these quests are boring the fuck out of me now
Now I want to fucking level up. That's the problem now the quest I was doing originally
I was interested in like shadowlands ones good the dragonflight ones started off really good and interesting
Now just keep fucking about each tribe. I'm going this tribe that tribe this tribe that fuck off
The anara plains are a bit of a
Yeah, it's all the tribes man boring the fuck out of me. Yeah, it's a bit
It is a bit um
A bit boring. I've got a cool new I've got a couple of cool new dragons
There's some cool mounts that you can fucking yeah every every um
That's another reason to do the campaign is because every faction like fact something gives you a dragonfly mount
Yeah, they're cool, and I've got a new one out that I quite like but
I'm not enjoying the quest and when I'm not enjoying the quest then it kind of becomes more of a slog. Whereas the shadow
Lands. Yeah, I was enjoying that. That's a cool expansion. I enjoyed that
Uh, I was enjoying I know legion legion
And the
And the start of dragonflight was really cool. They need to at some point because obviously once you hit 60
that's when it sends you into dragon flight they need to
Allow you to level all the way up to 70 without touching dragonflight
they need to
They need to because obviously once you hit 60 you can just do dungeons and never do any of the quests
But they need to allow you
To continue through like legion and shit and scale it so that you can just get all the way to max level in one
expansion rather than being forced to go to
To go to dragon flight because I feel like they're at a point now where it's been out long enough
Where it's like, all right
Well, we'll still send you there, but you don't have to go there
You can carry on leveling up where you are. Like it should give you the option. Well, can't you level up past 60?
You um
Like you I think it
Begins to not scale
Or or it does I can't I can't really remember to be fair because it's been so long because I don't
I don't tend to do it. I think it I think when you hit level 60
it
Automatically takes you out
Of your thing. I think it gives you the quest for dragon flight and doesn't allow you to not take it and then pulls you out of
Of what you were doing. What what class is it that swings around in a circle over and over again?
There's swinging a sword or an axe. It's like a whirlwind
No, what do you mean? I don't know Giza was doing it yesterday and it was that's a warrior that was cool
Bladestorm well, I like what he was doing. Yeah blade storm and you can fucking move around while you're spinning and shit
Yeah, it was cool. I was getting confused because the enemy was doing the same thing and I was like who's swinging here
Yeah, they're very they're very um, I'm trying to think what class you would actually like
I've got two I want to either do someone that just carries one big sword
Which is an arms warrior or a death knight or I want to do or a retribution paladin or a wizard of some description
mage
Evokers are very cool. Very easy to play
Interestingly as well. I've got which I probably won't use until I'm very familiar
But I might do I've got one of them free fucking level 60 boosts to use on account
Yeah, I'm saving it for now
Exactly. I'm gonna disappear eventually. No, okay. No because what will happen is if you use that
You're gonna be bombarded with spells
Yeah
And fucking talents and you ain't gonna have a fucking clue and it's gonna be get be very overwhelming because you also have to keep
Behind all of your shit. I haven't got a fucking clue now to be honest when I hit 70
That's another thing when I hit 70 that's when I will look at
Builds and because they are no I've unlocked all my stat points
That's it in it. You've done your stats then 70 your talents. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I said done
Oh, no, I've got all the points and you can imagine you just respect you learn everything
So then I can follow a guy and then I can get my strings down to a T and work it out by the moment
I'm still just doing the same shit
Yeah
Like I said to you you can you can copy a string now and you can import them
Into Wow and you can have various builds you can chop and change and like like with
with my
Paladin I've got presets for mythic plus ones for raid in ones a single target and I basically got a drop-down list for
Like every boss encounter so I chop and change as we're going through because there's like slight tweaks that
That change depending on the on the on the combat
But yeah, 100% once you hit 70 is where it way will really start that's I'm sorry about I want to get 70 and be
Like a whole new world
Don't get me wrong. The game's fucking sick while you're leveling up
But it's one of those where it's I feel like once once you've got used to it
And you've got a max level character and you've got decent gear and you know what's going on
That's when you start to appreciate leveling up so much more because you're much more free to explore the aspects of world
Warcraft as for what it is without being overwhelmed because you know what you're doing
You know, I mean like it's just it's just a bit like you could probably make another character now
And you're gonna be miles better than what you were off for sure when you first were coming because you know
What's what's sort of going on?
But there's also a lot of shit that you knew. Oh, yeah, there's a lot of stuff. I don't know
I haven't picked a fucking I haven't picked a skill or anything yet. I'm too scared to what a profession. Yeah
Yeah, too scared to have to work. Yeah, it's not a pigeon hole myself into one
I'll be scared. You ain't got a worry yet. Yeah, but I am I want to I want to do a blacksmithing thing
I want to mine some more skin some animal. I'm gonna do shit. I want to have another thing to do
It's nice to have more stuff to worry about Mickey Flanagan said that it's true. This is true
Well, I don't write World of Warcraft in this podcast. I'm not gonna people
I'm not fucking gonna I'm gonna write power world in this part in this episode because that's what's gonna get the most people
In this episode because that's what's gonna get the clicks. All right, so
We're fucking off
Enjoy power world. See you later. Oh, right
