1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,280
Hello, I smell shit.

2
00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:03,600
Can you not, genuinely not smell that?

3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,880
No, you're having a stroke.

4
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,120
You can smell shit, like a bad kind of shit

5
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:09,240
or like a good kind of shit.

6
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,200
Actual poo poo.

7
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:11,080
Actual poo?

8
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,200
Well you haven't gone anywhere, you can't,

9
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:13,040
you ain't stepped in shit.

10
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:13,880
No, no, that's what I mean,

11
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:14,800
that's what I thought you farted.

12
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,120
No, that's a powerful fart.

13
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,400
If it's reached over you, are you good?

14
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,600
No fucking, mind me, is this Patreon or?

15
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,160
No, you said you wanted us to do the normal.

16
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,000
Yeah, I don't mind, yeah.

17
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,680
I'll save the poo story for Patreon then as usual.

18
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,720
Right, yeah, so save that for the fucking payers.

19
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,840
Right, well, do you wanna crack on then?

20
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,920
Yeah, I'm back, sorry I wasn't here last week,

21
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,760
probably gonna be like that every other week more likely

22
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,520
when my wife's working on the Friday.

23
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,560
Just the way our work schedules line up,

24
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,400
it doesn't really work.

25
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:46,720
It's all changed a little bit.

26
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,440
But there might be times where I'm two weeks in a row

27
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,080
hopefully, but, and then the week before obviously,

28
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,320
your boy was in Scotland, so.

29
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,000
I was in Scotland, I climbed Arthur's Seat.

30
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:55,840
Yeah?

31
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:56,680
Yeah, it's like a fucking,

32
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,280
in vans and chinos, I was feeling the fucking effects

33
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,920
of not being in the proper gear to do it.

34
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:03,760
Yeah, a bit.

35
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,000
But I did it nevertheless and it was most fun.

36
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,920
It's like a, I think it's like 250 meters up

37
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,200
or some shit like that, and it's all rocks and very fun.

38
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,040
It's impressive, man.

39
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,240
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

40
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,320
I'm on my little health kick, it was nice.

41
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:19,640
How you getting on with it?

42
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,040
It's all right, man, it's all right.

43
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,880
I'm fucking losing weight and eating better, all right?

44
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,480
And fucking running half an hour for four days a week.

45
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,560
It's cool, cause we're like the opposite,

46
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,840
cause I'm gaining weight and eating worse.

47
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,840
You used to be the gym bod that I had aspired to be.

48
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,480
And yeah, now, don't get me wrong,

49
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,840
I'm envious because fucking hell do I miss McDonald's.

50
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,520
Oh my God, however, in this new little turn of events,

51
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,440
I have discovered the KFC salad box.

52
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,280
Yeah, yeah, nice.

53
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,680
And oh, Jesus Christ, they're good.

54
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,000
Rice and that.

55
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,360
No, this one's just salad, salad and chicken.

56
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,000
It's fucking good, man.

57
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,920
Ooh, but the only saving grace I've got is that

58
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,000
if you're looking at fast food, kebabs are the best.

59
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,400
All right, they're like, out of all the bad shit,

60
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,440
they're the least bad shit because they're just fucking.

61
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,520
I mean like proper chicken kebabs, innit?

62
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,920
Yeah, chicken kebabs, or you can fucking don a kebab

63
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,840
to an extent because they ain't fried

64
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,120
or anything like that.

65
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,080
They're like, if you wanna have something,

66
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,880
then they're sort of like the best thing to have,

67
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,240
which is decent because you know me,

68
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,320
I fucking love a don a kebab.

69
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,160
Ooh.

70
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:31,680
Yeah.

71
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,520
Yeah.

72
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,080
The funny thing is I'm not really like that.

73
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,680
I don't like McDonald's.

74
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,280
I used to love KFC, I don't really like that no more.

75
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,480
I used to love Gregg's, don't like Gregg's.

76
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,280
You bang McDonald's quite frequently after these.

77
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,560
No, no.

78
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,400
Yeah.

79
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,220
Probably once in the last.

80
00:02:48,220 --> 00:02:49,060
I'm pretty sure the last time.

81
00:02:49,060 --> 00:02:51,520
Yeah, maybe the last time, but not normally.

82
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,360
Not normally.

83
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,240
It's only if there ain't no dinner on.

84
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,640
When I get in, I might grab something,

85
00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:58,200
but I do not like McDonald's.

86
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,360
I'll buy McDonald's and eat it, but I don't like it.

87
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,200
It's just because it's convenient.

88
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,200
I don't think anyone fucking likes it.

89
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,920
I think you just get trapped into it, don't you?

90
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:06,680
But yeah, I'm not really a fast food man, bro.

91
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,640
But yet I still eat shit.

92
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:11,040
It's impressive.

93
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,600
Maybe your job holds it down a bit better.

94
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,440
Yeah, well I'm quite an active guy.

95
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,920
Exactly, that's what I'm saying.

96
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:18,520
As much as I don't want to be.

97
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,520
There's a whole plethora of things to talk about

98
00:03:24,420 --> 00:03:29,100
and that have happened in the last meet that we had.

99
00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:31,460
I'm very excited to talk about it.

100
00:03:31,460 --> 00:03:32,940
You want, what you got?

101
00:03:32,940 --> 00:03:34,740
No, what do you want to talk about?

102
00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:39,020
Probably talk about pre-ordering the Assassin's Creed

103
00:03:39,020 --> 00:03:41,620
shadows collectors edition.

104
00:03:42,620 --> 00:03:45,900
Sorry to all the people that fucking hate Ubisoft

105
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:47,740
and say, don't pre-order.

106
00:03:47,740 --> 00:03:49,260
And I know we've said that before,

107
00:03:49,260 --> 00:03:51,820
but you can't say no to a really cool looking statue,

108
00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:52,780
can you?

109
00:03:52,780 --> 00:03:54,500
You just resale not as we do.

110
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:55,340
You just can't do it.

111
00:03:55,340 --> 00:03:57,140
So what is it?

112
00:03:57,140 --> 00:04:01,060
Is it June when Elden Ring Shadow of the Earth trees out?

113
00:04:01,060 --> 00:04:02,780
It's like six weeks or something, five weeks now.

114
00:04:02,780 --> 00:04:04,500
So that'll be a collector's edition on its way

115
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:05,740
with a fucking statue.

116
00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:10,940
And then in November will be the Assassin's Creed shadows,

117
00:04:10,940 --> 00:04:13,780
which I'm a bit dubious about because I was told yesterday

118
00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:16,300
that game is shutting down.

119
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:17,900
Or is that just their storefronts

120
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:19,220
that are apparently shutting down?

121
00:04:19,220 --> 00:04:20,060
I don't know.

122
00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:21,980
I know the one where I live is no longer.

123
00:04:21,980 --> 00:04:24,420
Yeah. So as long as they can still fulfill my order,

124
00:04:24,420 --> 00:04:25,820
I don't give a fuck.

125
00:04:25,820 --> 00:04:26,660
All right.

126
00:04:26,660 --> 00:04:29,320
But when I see that collect, it's 240 quid,

127
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,580
which is obviously substantially more

128
00:04:30,580 --> 00:04:32,220
than what the Mirage one was.

129
00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:34,060
But you've seen it.

130
00:04:34,060 --> 00:04:36,700
We showed each other and that fucking,

131
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:39,540
that statue looks fucking sick.

132
00:04:39,540 --> 00:04:42,340
And the scroll that you get that you can hang on the wall

133
00:04:42,340 --> 00:04:45,860
and the Suba, the fucking metal ring off a Katana

134
00:04:45,860 --> 00:04:49,340
that's fucking, it's a good old little piece.

135
00:04:49,340 --> 00:04:51,660
Perfect time to be dropping that sort of shit

136
00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:53,580
just after Shogun.

137
00:04:53,580 --> 00:04:54,980
Yeah, it's decent, man.

138
00:04:54,980 --> 00:04:56,100
But it looks good.

139
00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:57,420
And I say it looks good.

140
00:04:57,420 --> 00:04:58,620
You don't see nothing.

141
00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:00,900
From what I've heard from the inside

142
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,380
and what I've passed on to you,

143
00:05:03,380 --> 00:05:06,140
all the little tip bits sound good, but they always do.

144
00:05:06,140 --> 00:05:07,680
So I have to be skeptical.

145
00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:11,220
Yeah, but what did they say about a Mirage?

146
00:05:11,220 --> 00:05:13,380
Was it the same sort of wavelength?

147
00:05:13,380 --> 00:05:14,580
They said they went back to their roots,

148
00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:17,060
but no, that guy that I texted you yesterday,

149
00:05:17,060 --> 00:05:20,700
he's like, he's not one to gas shit up.

150
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:23,220
So that's why I am excited and piqued to my interest

151
00:05:23,220 --> 00:05:25,980
because if they've really, because Assassin's Creed,

152
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:28,580
when I listened the other day,

153
00:05:28,580 --> 00:05:30,700
fully agree with Steph, I have to be honest.

154
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:35,700
I think inherently Assassin's Creed games,

155
00:05:35,740 --> 00:05:39,820
i.e. Valhalla, Odyssey and Origins aren't bad games.

156
00:05:39,820 --> 00:05:41,580
They're just not Assassin's Creed games.

157
00:05:41,580 --> 00:05:43,700
And I'm not an Assassin's Creed fan.

158
00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:46,580
I don't like, like yous like all that Animus shit.

159
00:05:46,580 --> 00:05:48,220
I would rather that shit didn't exist

160
00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:50,660
and it was just the Assassin's part.

161
00:05:50,660 --> 00:05:52,700
I'd feel like that doesn't need to be there,

162
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:54,860
but obviously for Assassin's Creed fans it does,

163
00:05:54,860 --> 00:05:55,900
which is fine.

164
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:57,740
But take that out and I would have,

165
00:05:57,740 --> 00:05:58,620
I wouldn't have more fun

166
00:05:58,620 --> 00:06:00,860
because it plays a very small part now, don't it?

167
00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:04,140
Yeah, it's very, it ain't even fucking questionable.

168
00:06:04,140 --> 00:06:07,780
I think there needs to be a combination

169
00:06:07,780 --> 00:06:11,500
of Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla

170
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:15,540
mixed with your Assassin's Creed games,

171
00:06:15,540 --> 00:06:18,220
because I feel like, we've had this discussion before,

172
00:06:18,220 --> 00:06:23,220
but Valhalla has these things in like,

173
00:06:23,380 --> 00:06:24,780
like the massive enemies in that.

174
00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:26,540
They try and soak it in a bit of realism

175
00:06:26,540 --> 00:06:28,620
and then they go over the top of it as well.

176
00:06:28,620 --> 00:06:32,540
I feel like there needs to be a fine line toad somewhere

177
00:06:32,540 --> 00:06:35,220
because I don't wanna fight gigantic soldiers

178
00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:38,020
that there's no way anyone like that existed in the world.

179
00:06:38,020 --> 00:06:42,180
And the combat was shit, if I'm perfectly honest with you,

180
00:06:42,180 --> 00:06:45,180
because it was just the same doof, doof, doof.

181
00:06:45,180 --> 00:06:47,260
And it was silly because you do the silly things.

182
00:06:47,260 --> 00:06:48,420
Well, I don't personally like,

183
00:06:48,420 --> 00:06:50,060
and I know some people will,

184
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:52,980
your uppercut them with an axe and they'll fly in the air.

185
00:06:52,980 --> 00:06:53,820
I don't want that.

186
00:06:53,820 --> 00:06:55,420
I'd rather that axe just dug in his chin.

187
00:06:55,420 --> 00:06:56,580
Yeah, I'm the same, man.

188
00:06:56,580 --> 00:06:57,420
Do you know what I mean?

189
00:06:57,420 --> 00:07:00,660
So that's, I feel like if they can get the combat right

190
00:07:00,660 --> 00:07:04,700
with the big world, but also actually have a story there.

191
00:07:05,740 --> 00:07:07,580
Because it is gonna be open world, isn't it?

192
00:07:07,580 --> 00:07:09,540
That's, and what was it?

193
00:07:09,540 --> 00:07:14,540
Bigger than origins is the stamp of that size.

194
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:21,020
I am confident because from,

195
00:07:21,020 --> 00:07:22,260
as much as, bear in mind,

196
00:07:22,260 --> 00:07:24,020
we did a whole fucking episode on it.

197
00:07:24,020 --> 00:07:28,140
As much as Mirage in my head was a flop,

198
00:07:28,140 --> 00:07:29,540
it wasn't at the same time

199
00:07:29,540 --> 00:07:32,060
because it was aiming in the direction

200
00:07:32,060 --> 00:07:36,460
that I think is not only back to its roots,

201
00:07:36,460 --> 00:07:40,140
but evolved for current time.

202
00:07:40,140 --> 00:07:41,700
So they haven't strictly gone back

203
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:43,140
to this is what Assassin's Creed used to be.

204
00:07:43,140 --> 00:07:46,620
I think they added the right bits

205
00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:47,980
and then have built on them

206
00:07:47,980 --> 00:07:51,580
for today's Assassin's Creed players.

207
00:07:51,580 --> 00:07:54,340
And like I said to Steph,

208
00:07:54,340 --> 00:07:58,940
they can either go with Assassin's Creed Shadows,

209
00:07:58,940 --> 00:08:00,780
formerly known as fucking Project Red.

210
00:08:01,620 --> 00:08:04,100
They can either go down the route of like Valhalla

211
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:05,580
and Odyssey and things like that,

212
00:08:05,580 --> 00:08:09,780
or they can go down the route of Black Flag,

213
00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:11,500
to Revelations Brotherhood,

214
00:08:12,580 --> 00:08:14,180
or they can find the perfect combo

215
00:08:14,180 --> 00:08:16,140
to put them together and go,

216
00:08:16,140 --> 00:08:19,180
this is the identity of Assassin's Creed now.

217
00:08:19,180 --> 00:08:23,340
Because I feel like when they went to Origins,

218
00:08:23,340 --> 00:08:24,220
that's when they started,

219
00:08:24,220 --> 00:08:26,860
they obviously changed the UI, changed the combat,

220
00:08:26,860 --> 00:08:30,220
and they went into their new Assassin's Creed era,

221
00:08:30,220 --> 00:08:33,900
which very much divided the fan base.

222
00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:37,940
Whereas if they're able to put those two together

223
00:08:37,940 --> 00:08:39,940
and do it properly,

224
00:08:39,940 --> 00:08:41,180
and then own it and say,

225
00:08:41,180 --> 00:08:43,460
this is what Assassin's Creed is now,

226
00:08:43,460 --> 00:08:44,980
I feel like they're in with a good chance of it

227
00:08:44,980 --> 00:08:46,980
being a decent game.

228
00:08:46,980 --> 00:08:49,300
But again, this is Ubisoft.

229
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:52,340
Very, very good at making cinematics.

230
00:08:52,340 --> 00:08:55,420
Nine times out of 10 will flop in the gameplay.

231
00:08:55,420 --> 00:08:57,900
Yeah, I think the games suffer from their own,

232
00:08:59,820 --> 00:09:01,420
their own setting as well.

233
00:09:01,420 --> 00:09:06,100
So Valhalla, arguably my ideal game,

234
00:09:06,100 --> 00:09:08,860
because it's the Vikings and I love the Viking history.

235
00:09:08,860 --> 00:09:11,940
But let's be honest, England's fucking boring, mate.

236
00:09:11,940 --> 00:09:14,980
Yeah, it is planned open fields and shit.

237
00:09:14,980 --> 00:09:15,820
It's crap.

238
00:09:15,820 --> 00:09:17,260
Yeah, for that kind of shit, it's not good.

239
00:09:17,260 --> 00:09:18,380
But they didn't help themselves

240
00:09:18,380 --> 00:09:21,580
because the story was so fucking spread out over,

241
00:09:21,580 --> 00:09:23,020
do these exact same things

242
00:09:23,020 --> 00:09:24,580
with a slightly different coat of paint on it,

243
00:09:24,580 --> 00:09:26,980
travel four million miles to get there,

244
00:09:26,980 --> 00:09:29,340
come back, speak to this person, rah rah,

245
00:09:29,340 --> 00:09:30,900
and just do that rinse and repeat

246
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:32,220
with nothing really else going on.

247
00:09:32,220 --> 00:09:33,060
It wasn't helping it.

248
00:09:33,060 --> 00:09:34,620
It's very Final Fantasy.

249
00:09:34,620 --> 00:09:35,460
Yeah.

250
00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:39,860
But then, like, I look at Assassin's Creed Odyssey,

251
00:09:39,860 --> 00:09:41,300
which was the Greek one,

252
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:43,940
which I also a big fan of Greek mythology.

253
00:09:43,940 --> 00:09:46,140
And I loved that game.

254
00:09:46,140 --> 00:09:48,860
That out of Origins Odyssey and,

255
00:09:49,740 --> 00:09:52,100
was it Egypt Origins, Odyssey Greek,

256
00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:54,660
and Valhalla, obviously the England Vikings.

257
00:09:54,660 --> 00:09:57,740
The Origins Odyssey was by far my favorite.

258
00:09:57,740 --> 00:09:58,860
And I completed that.

259
00:09:58,860 --> 00:10:01,700
And I spent like nearly 100 hours on that game.

260
00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:03,140
I loved it.

261
00:10:03,140 --> 00:10:04,780
I loved the bones of that game.

262
00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:07,740
So I feel like it always depends on the setting as well,

263
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:08,620
if you like the setting.

264
00:10:08,620 --> 00:10:11,620
So I like Japan, I like Japanese stuff.

265
00:10:11,620 --> 00:10:12,820
I like Samurai. I think most people do.

266
00:10:12,820 --> 00:10:13,660
Exactly.

267
00:10:13,660 --> 00:10:15,060
So I feel like that's already gonna put it

268
00:10:15,060 --> 00:10:16,860
in a lot of people's thing.

269
00:10:16,860 --> 00:10:17,940
Obviously there's a lot of discourse

270
00:10:17,940 --> 00:10:20,020
about the main protagonist, blah, blah, blah.

271
00:10:20,020 --> 00:10:21,660
But everyone, no one's ever gonna be happy.

272
00:10:21,660 --> 00:10:22,580
Well, I'm just reading up on it

273
00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:24,020
because I don't wanna start saying shit about it

274
00:10:24,020 --> 00:10:24,860
and then get it wrong.

275
00:10:24,860 --> 00:10:28,300
But I'm pretty sure that the male protagonist,

276
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:29,500
I can't remember their name,

277
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:34,500
is based off of a real Samurai-esque.

278
00:10:35,300 --> 00:10:38,060
He is, but then also, I don't know the history of it,

279
00:10:38,060 --> 00:10:40,020
but then you've got people arguing saying,

280
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:41,980
but he wasn't actually given the title of Samurai,

281
00:10:41,980 --> 00:10:42,820
so he wasn't a real Samurai.

282
00:10:42,820 --> 00:10:45,340
I was like, yeah, but also the Medusa wasn't real.

283
00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:47,780
So you've got to draw the line somewhere.

284
00:10:47,780 --> 00:10:49,500
And I didn't see anyone kicking up a stink

285
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:52,220
when Neo had a white protagonist in Japan.

286
00:10:52,220 --> 00:10:57,060
Yeah, it's very difficult because the Japanese setting

287
00:10:57,060 --> 00:10:58,500
for Assassin's Creed is something

288
00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:02,780
that most Assassin's Creed fans have been begging for

289
00:11:02,780 --> 00:11:04,860
for fucking years.

290
00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:06,580
You're talking like well over a decade,

291
00:11:06,580 --> 00:11:11,580
people have been asking for a Samurai setting.

292
00:11:11,660 --> 00:11:13,100
It's perfect because they're like ninjas and stuff.

293
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:14,700
It is absolutely perfect.

294
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:18,020
And then when you had Ghost of Tsushima come out,

295
00:11:18,020 --> 00:11:19,740
everyone was like, right, well, this is,

296
00:11:19,740 --> 00:11:21,140
this is what we've been wanting.

297
00:11:21,140 --> 00:11:21,980
It's not Assassin's Creed, but this is-

298
00:11:21,980 --> 00:11:24,340
It's a bit of a spit in the face to Assassin's Creed fans.

299
00:11:24,340 --> 00:11:27,380
Yeah, this is what we want.

300
00:11:27,380 --> 00:11:31,780
And now, like you say, it's the perfect time

301
00:11:31,780 --> 00:11:34,660
because of Shogun and I feel like in recent years,

302
00:11:35,540 --> 00:11:38,500
the Japanese perspective in games

303
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:41,340
has always been a very popular setting.

304
00:11:41,340 --> 00:11:44,180
But I feel like now in the last sort of like five years,

305
00:11:44,180 --> 00:11:48,020
it's become quite more popular.

306
00:11:48,020 --> 00:11:52,980
And it's annoying to see shadows get announced,

307
00:11:52,980 --> 00:11:54,500
get the reveal trailer.

308
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:55,900
And then if you go into the comments

309
00:11:55,900 --> 00:11:57,420
on any of the fucking videos,

310
00:11:57,420 --> 00:11:59,860
whether it be YouTube, Instagram, fucking whatever,

311
00:11:59,860 --> 00:12:02,300
it's just people ripping the shit out of it.

312
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:04,500
You go, oh, Ghost of Tsushima's coming out on the PC soon.

313
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:05,580
I'll be playing that instead.

314
00:12:05,580 --> 00:12:07,060
It's like, what?

315
00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:09,820
These are the same people that were begging for Ubisoft

316
00:12:09,820 --> 00:12:13,740
to bring out an Assassin's Creed that's based in Japan.

317
00:12:13,740 --> 00:12:15,700
So it's like now that you've seen it

318
00:12:15,700 --> 00:12:17,100
and that it's on its way,

319
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:20,300
people are just comparing it to something else

320
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:24,900
that's very, very good and dismissing it straight away.

321
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:26,180
And it's just annoying because it's like,

322
00:12:26,180 --> 00:12:27,820
this is the shit that you wanted.

323
00:12:27,820 --> 00:12:28,860
Now you're getting it.

324
00:12:28,860 --> 00:12:30,540
You're whinging about getting it.

325
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:35,660
People will always moan and they'll never be happy.

326
00:12:35,660 --> 00:12:39,460
Even if it's the best thing ever,

327
00:12:39,460 --> 00:12:41,780
people will still complain about it.

328
00:12:41,780 --> 00:12:45,580
My only worry with Assassin's Creed, this one anyway,

329
00:12:46,540 --> 00:12:49,180
as I've said before, I prefer playing as men.

330
00:12:49,180 --> 00:12:50,740
Just my preference.

331
00:12:50,740 --> 00:12:53,140
I hope you can do all the sneaky shit still

332
00:12:53,140 --> 00:12:54,420
with the samurai guy.

333
00:12:54,420 --> 00:12:58,180
I hope he's not just a tank fucking samurai guy.

334
00:12:58,180 --> 00:12:59,220
I know he is the samurai,

335
00:12:59,220 --> 00:13:00,980
but I'm hoping you can still sneak about with him

336
00:13:00,980 --> 00:13:02,100
and all that stuff.

337
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:03,420
Just because I'd prefer to play as him.

338
00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:06,980
He's just more my, who I'd prefer to play as.

339
00:13:08,420 --> 00:13:13,420
What I'm liking the fact that it's on current gen only.

340
00:13:16,420 --> 00:13:17,260
No, I didn't know that.

341
00:13:17,260 --> 00:13:18,100
Yeah, that's very good.

342
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:19,660
It's only PS5 series X and S.

343
00:13:19,660 --> 00:13:22,140
At fucking time we got something like that.

344
00:13:22,140 --> 00:13:25,460
Yes, finally the tides are fucking turning.

345
00:13:25,460 --> 00:13:27,660
And like that thing that you sent me

346
00:13:27,660 --> 00:13:29,140
from the guy on Twitter,

347
00:13:31,260 --> 00:13:35,500
it's been made on an upgraded engine.

348
00:13:38,660 --> 00:13:41,700
It's been made for the likes of PS5.

349
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:43,300
There's none of this bullshit where it's,

350
00:13:43,300 --> 00:13:45,020
oh, we've got to make it run on PS4 as well.

351
00:13:45,020 --> 00:13:46,740
So we have to fucking sacrifice something

352
00:13:46,740 --> 00:13:48,060
for something else and blah, blah, blah.

353
00:13:48,060 --> 00:13:50,300
That shit's all been fucking thrown away.

354
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:53,940
It's you want to play this, you need the next gen.

355
00:13:53,940 --> 00:13:55,740
And that's just it.

356
00:13:55,740 --> 00:13:57,020
Which is fucking how it should be

357
00:13:57,020 --> 00:13:58,220
because they've had more than enough time

358
00:13:58,220 --> 00:13:59,180
to start doing this shit.

359
00:13:59,180 --> 00:14:01,180
I have some details here if you'd like me to read.

360
00:14:01,180 --> 00:14:02,620
Go on.

361
00:14:02,620 --> 00:14:06,300
This is from Shinobi602 on Twitter.

362
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:08,500
I know he's quite big in the gaming world.

363
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:10,420
He says, that's increased shadow details.

364
00:14:10,420 --> 00:14:12,860
I don't know how much of this is out in the open,

365
00:14:12,860 --> 00:14:16,860
but this will all be factual that he'll know.

366
00:14:18,180 --> 00:14:21,020
New gen only, PS5, Xbox Series X, PC

367
00:14:21,020 --> 00:14:22,340
on an updated Anvil engine.

368
00:14:22,340 --> 00:14:24,180
That's a one.

369
00:14:24,180 --> 00:14:27,380
Takes place in feudal Japan in the year 1579

370
00:14:27,380 --> 00:14:32,300
during the Azuchi-Momoyama period.

371
00:14:32,300 --> 00:14:33,940
Time period sees a range of activity

372
00:14:33,940 --> 00:14:35,780
including Portuguese merchants,

373
00:14:35,780 --> 00:14:38,260
legions of samurai, Shinobi,

374
00:14:38,260 --> 00:14:41,100
and J-suit missionaries, et cetera.

375
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:43,540
Oh look, this is what you said as well.

376
00:14:43,540 --> 00:14:46,900
Large open world, as big as Assassin's Creed Origins,

377
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:49,220
which is not a bad thing as long as it's not shit.

378
00:14:49,220 --> 00:14:51,140
Yeah, as long as it's filled with stuff to actually do.

379
00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:51,980
Exactly.

380
00:14:51,980 --> 00:14:55,180
Players two, protagonist, Yasuki and...

381
00:14:55,180 --> 00:14:56,980
I know the names are struggling there.

382
00:14:56,980 --> 00:14:58,820
Nao, Niu.

383
00:14:58,820 --> 00:14:59,660
Nao, Nao.

384
00:14:59,660 --> 00:15:01,540
Yeah, let's go Nao.

385
00:15:01,540 --> 00:15:03,180
There are set personal quests

386
00:15:03,180 --> 00:15:05,300
where you play as one or the other,

387
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:07,380
but you can freely switch between both

388
00:15:07,380 --> 00:15:09,460
in the open world and during other objectives.

389
00:15:09,460 --> 00:15:13,260
Is that the same as the one with the Eevee fry?

390
00:15:13,260 --> 00:15:15,100
Did they do something similar to that?

391
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:16,660
It was, I think it...

392
00:15:17,620 --> 00:15:20,220
Could you swap or were you...

393
00:15:20,220 --> 00:15:21,660
No, yeah, you could swap.

394
00:15:21,660 --> 00:15:22,980
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

395
00:15:22,980 --> 00:15:24,260
Yeah, I feel like you could.

396
00:15:24,260 --> 00:15:25,100
It's been so long since I played it,

397
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:26,620
I'm pretty sure you could swap.

398
00:15:26,620 --> 00:15:28,060
So it sounds like that then.

399
00:15:29,060 --> 00:15:31,340
Yasuki is a real historical figure.

400
00:15:31,340 --> 00:15:33,500
He was brought to Japan by...

401
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:35,100
I still don't know how to say this.

402
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:36,500
J-suit.

403
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:38,860
I don't know if it's like J-sui or...

404
00:15:38,860 --> 00:15:40,020
J-suit.

405
00:15:40,020 --> 00:15:41,220
J-suit, whatever.

406
00:15:41,220 --> 00:15:43,980
Missionary and then became a samurai and served.

407
00:15:43,980 --> 00:15:47,180
Oda Nobunaga.

408
00:15:48,380 --> 00:15:49,220
Nobunaga.

409
00:15:50,340 --> 00:15:52,860
Nao is an agile shinobi who likes stealth,

410
00:15:52,860 --> 00:15:54,780
but knows how to fight, can use a grappling hook

411
00:15:54,780 --> 00:15:56,220
to traverse the environment.

412
00:15:56,220 --> 00:15:58,820
Physics based, so it can be improbable.

413
00:15:58,820 --> 00:16:00,620
I'm not sure what that means.

414
00:16:00,620 --> 00:16:05,020
I think it means it beholdens to physics in that.

415
00:16:05,020 --> 00:16:06,700
Ah, so it might slip off and stuff.

416
00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:09,500
Yeah, I imagine so, yeah.

417
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:12,100
Yasuki's fighting style is more head on direct combat

418
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:14,140
with parries, breaking enemy armor plates,

419
00:16:14,140 --> 00:16:17,620
decapitation, finishes, et cetera.

420
00:16:17,620 --> 00:16:22,340
Nao uses a Kusarigama,

421
00:16:23,180 --> 00:16:24,420
which is, I know what that is,

422
00:16:24,420 --> 00:16:27,780
that's a chain on a, a hook on a chain, I think.

423
00:16:27,780 --> 00:16:28,620
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

424
00:16:28,620 --> 00:16:30,980
A chain that can whip around and keep enemies at bay.

425
00:16:31,980 --> 00:16:32,940
The team pushed on more,

426
00:16:32,940 --> 00:16:35,140
this is stuff that I really think is fucking cool.

427
00:16:35,140 --> 00:16:37,100
The team pushed on more destructibility

428
00:16:37,100 --> 00:16:40,420
and sliceable objects with damage realistically replicated

429
00:16:40,420 --> 00:16:43,980
from sword slices, arrow punch marks, et cetera.

430
00:16:43,980 --> 00:16:45,500
Enemies can now be knocked out

431
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:47,860
if players want a pacifist play through.

432
00:16:47,860 --> 00:16:49,660
Players can now go prone, sneak around,

433
00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:50,660
which is laying down, I believe.

434
00:16:50,660 --> 00:16:51,500
That's very cool.

435
00:16:51,500 --> 00:16:53,340
It's never been fucking done in Assassin's Creed.

436
00:16:53,340 --> 00:16:56,300
Fully dynamic lighting system illuminated by sunlight,

437
00:16:56,300 --> 00:16:57,900
torches, lanterns, et cetera.

438
00:16:57,900 --> 00:16:58,980
This is cool as well.

439
00:16:58,980 --> 00:17:01,260
The game progresses through the four different seasons,

440
00:17:01,260 --> 00:17:03,060
spring, summer, fall, and winter.

441
00:17:03,060 --> 00:17:05,180
Each season brings with it environmental and gameplay

442
00:17:05,180 --> 00:17:06,780
changes, for example.

443
00:17:06,780 --> 00:17:09,900
You can crawl prone underwater in a pond during the summer,

444
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:12,460
whereas that pond will be frozen in the winter.

445
00:17:12,460 --> 00:17:14,620
More examples, grass grows tall in the spring,

446
00:17:14,620 --> 00:17:17,060
perfect for hiding while it dies off in the fall,

447
00:17:17,060 --> 00:17:18,780
removing those hiding spots.

448
00:17:18,780 --> 00:17:21,540
Hanging icicles on buildings can snap and fall off,

449
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:24,380
revealing your location during winter, et cetera.

450
00:17:24,380 --> 00:17:26,220
You can hide in the shadows to escape enemies

451
00:17:26,220 --> 00:17:28,580
and take out light sources to evade detection

452
00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:29,660
a la Splinter Cell.

453
00:17:30,620 --> 00:17:32,500
Create a customizable hideout

454
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:35,060
where you can grow and train your own Shinobi League.

455
00:17:35,060 --> 00:17:37,620
Create, craft new gear, interact with other characters,

456
00:17:37,620 --> 00:17:41,620
and choose your bases, layouts, decorations, and accessories.

457
00:17:41,620 --> 00:17:44,260
There are huge castles that act as significant landmarks

458
00:17:44,260 --> 00:17:46,140
throughout the open world that act as dungeons

459
00:17:46,140 --> 00:17:48,340
and their own big levels.

460
00:17:48,340 --> 00:17:49,740
Wanted to be a little more open

461
00:17:49,740 --> 00:17:50,940
with how you complete objectives,

462
00:17:50,940 --> 00:17:53,380
can tackle assassination targets in any order.

463
00:17:53,380 --> 00:17:56,140
And my favorite point is there are no more synchronization

464
00:17:56,140 --> 00:17:58,620
points that reveal all the points of interest on the map.

465
00:17:58,620 --> 00:18:00,380
Instead, they act as high-vantage points

466
00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:02,780
that let you look and discover them yourself.

467
00:18:02,780 --> 00:18:05,540
So all of that in all sounds very fucking good.

468
00:18:05,540 --> 00:18:08,220
And when that guy also said,

469
00:18:08,220 --> 00:18:10,940
he's like, can't wait to get involved with this

470
00:18:10,940 --> 00:18:13,260
and see more, blah, blah, blah,

471
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:14,860
that gets me excited for someone

472
00:18:14,860 --> 00:18:17,460
that had zero interest in this a week ago,

473
00:18:17,460 --> 00:18:19,740
not because we didn't know what it was really,

474
00:18:19,740 --> 00:18:22,020
but more because I just had enough of Assassin's Creed.

475
00:18:22,020 --> 00:18:24,460
But now if I am back interested again, well done Ubisoft.

476
00:18:24,460 --> 00:18:26,100
And this is how it works.

477
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:28,500
And you see the, and we've all said no more pre-orders,

478
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:29,940
and then they bring out the collector's edition

479
00:18:29,940 --> 00:18:31,780
and you go, all right, have my couple hundred quid,

480
00:18:31,780 --> 00:18:32,620
that's fine.

481
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:37,660
I like the idea of the no synchronization points.

482
00:18:37,660 --> 00:18:41,820
And I feel like we as gamers have grown too accustomed

483
00:18:41,820 --> 00:18:44,780
to being given everything on a map.

484
00:18:44,780 --> 00:18:49,780
And I feel like games like Elden Ring were very good

485
00:18:50,900 --> 00:18:53,780
for removing that and showing you that,

486
00:18:53,780 --> 00:18:55,300
no, this is fun.

487
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:57,020
This is in some respect more fun

488
00:18:57,020 --> 00:18:59,420
than fucking giving you pinpoints on a map

489
00:18:59,420 --> 00:19:00,380
for where you need to go.

490
00:19:00,380 --> 00:19:03,140
You figure this out on your own.

491
00:19:03,140 --> 00:19:05,340
So it'll be nice if they incorporate that

492
00:19:05,340 --> 00:19:08,300
because I feel like one of the biggest drawbacks

493
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:10,580
from a Ubisoft game is the amount of shit

494
00:19:10,580 --> 00:19:12,300
on the fucking maps.

495
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:14,500
The amount of shit on the maps.

496
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:16,780
And it's all the same fucking shit.

497
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:18,700
Worried about the dungeons.

498
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:21,180
They sound very cool with the castles and everything,

499
00:19:21,180 --> 00:19:25,140
but are they gonna get very repetitive and boring

500
00:19:25,140 --> 00:19:27,700
after like three dungeons?

501
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:30,180
Am I gonna be just rushing through that shit

502
00:19:30,180 --> 00:19:32,300
because there's a reward at the fucking top

503
00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:33,580
or once I've cleared it?

504
00:19:33,580 --> 00:19:37,780
Like is that gonna be like their version of outposts?

505
00:19:37,780 --> 00:19:40,700
Clear this outpost, clear this outpost, clear this outpost.

506
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:41,540
You know what I mean?

507
00:19:41,540 --> 00:19:43,020
Well, I don't mind doing that,

508
00:19:43,020 --> 00:19:46,380
but it has to be fun and worthwhile.

509
00:19:46,380 --> 00:19:48,860
Like the trouble is with the games,

510
00:19:48,860 --> 00:19:50,660
when they do things like this,

511
00:19:50,660 --> 00:19:53,420
once you've got fucking a hundred pieces of wood,

512
00:19:53,420 --> 00:19:55,580
I don't want to get wood as a reward.

513
00:19:55,580 --> 00:19:56,420
It's not fun.

514
00:19:56,420 --> 00:19:57,820
You know what I mean?

515
00:19:57,820 --> 00:20:00,140
That is what they're giving you.

516
00:20:00,140 --> 00:20:01,380
I've never thought of it like that.

517
00:20:01,380 --> 00:20:03,220
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

518
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:07,420
What needs to be behind them is like cool,

519
00:20:07,420 --> 00:20:10,020
like fucking amulets that give you powers

520
00:20:10,020 --> 00:20:11,820
or weapons or armor or something.

521
00:20:11,820 --> 00:20:13,020
Or appearances.

522
00:20:13,020 --> 00:20:15,620
Something that is different from what you've got.

523
00:20:15,620 --> 00:20:18,300
Don't give me resources and stuff like that.

524
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:20,540
Because I'm pretty sure I read that

525
00:20:20,540 --> 00:20:25,540
you can also have like clan type things.

526
00:20:25,540 --> 00:20:27,900
Like your own base where you're-

527
00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:28,740
That's what I just read.

528
00:20:28,740 --> 00:20:30,580
You can create your own Shinobi League.

529
00:20:30,580 --> 00:20:31,420
Oh, of course you did.

530
00:20:31,420 --> 00:20:32,260
Yeah, yeah.

531
00:20:33,180 --> 00:20:35,700
That sounds very cool.

532
00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:37,380
Because obviously you kind of had that

533
00:20:37,380 --> 00:20:41,220
with Black Flag when you had your fleet.

534
00:20:41,220 --> 00:20:43,660
And Valhalla, you had your own little Viking horse.

535
00:20:43,660 --> 00:20:44,500
Yeah, man.

536
00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:45,860
Your dual Vikings.

537
00:20:45,860 --> 00:20:47,220
Yeah, and I like that shit.

538
00:20:47,220 --> 00:20:49,620
I like having like your own little army

539
00:20:49,620 --> 00:20:50,980
that you can fucking send out and do.

540
00:20:50,980 --> 00:20:53,780
I think Revelations did it and all.

541
00:20:53,780 --> 00:20:56,940
I'm not gonna buy it and I'm not gonna fucking buy this.

542
00:20:56,940 --> 00:20:58,300
What's with it though?

543
00:20:58,300 --> 00:20:59,660
Because I've seen a lot of discourse

544
00:20:59,660 --> 00:21:03,140
about the collector's edition for it.

545
00:21:03,140 --> 00:21:04,020
Not the collector's edition,

546
00:21:04,020 --> 00:21:06,140
but the big bundle that they're selling.

547
00:21:07,140 --> 00:21:09,260
Because it comes with all like the season pass

548
00:21:09,260 --> 00:21:10,940
and all that sort of stuff.

549
00:21:10,940 --> 00:21:11,780
If it comes with that,

550
00:21:11,780 --> 00:21:13,420
then I think it's actually value for money.

551
00:21:13,420 --> 00:21:16,060
Because without all that,

552
00:21:16,060 --> 00:21:17,540
and if you want all the season pass,

553
00:21:17,540 --> 00:21:19,260
now it's 130 fucking quid anyway.

554
00:21:19,260 --> 00:21:20,700
Well, you mean does the collector's edition

555
00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:21,900
come with that?

556
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:23,060
Yeah. Yeah, of course it does.

557
00:21:23,060 --> 00:21:23,900
So that's what I mean.

558
00:21:23,900 --> 00:21:25,220
So you've actually got value for money.

559
00:21:25,220 --> 00:21:27,460
The collector's edition comes with all of it

560
00:21:27,460 --> 00:21:29,860
as far as I'm fucking aware.

561
00:21:29,860 --> 00:21:31,580
Because the...

562
00:21:31,580 --> 00:21:32,580
I've got it on here.

563
00:21:32,580 --> 00:21:34,540
So Assassin's Creed, blah, blah, blah.

564
00:21:35,700 --> 00:21:36,980
We'll set you wild, blah, blah, blah.

565
00:21:36,980 --> 00:21:40,380
If you want three days of early access

566
00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:41,460
to Assassin's Creed Shadows,

567
00:21:41,460 --> 00:21:42,660
as well as the season pass,

568
00:21:42,660 --> 00:21:46,180
the gold edition clocks in at 95 quid.

569
00:21:46,180 --> 00:21:50,540
The 115 pound ultimate edition has all of the above,

570
00:21:50,540 --> 00:21:53,420
as well as the ultimate pack encompassing

571
00:21:53,420 --> 00:21:57,500
the Sekiryu character pack,

572
00:21:57,500 --> 00:22:02,500
including gear and weapon sets for both Nao and Yasuki,

573
00:22:03,220 --> 00:22:04,300
blah, blah, blah.

574
00:22:04,300 --> 00:22:06,060
So a load of like random shit.

575
00:22:06,060 --> 00:22:06,880
And then finally,

576
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,820
the Assassin's Creed Shadow Collector's Edition

577
00:22:08,820 --> 00:22:10,700
gives you the ultimate version of the game,

578
00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:13,860
as well as a belt to hold of physical media and collectibles,

579
00:22:13,860 --> 00:22:17,180
including statues of Yasuki and Nao,

580
00:22:17,180 --> 00:22:19,500
an art book, world map, lithographs,

581
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:20,340
and more.

582
00:22:20,340 --> 00:22:22,620
The PS5 and Xbox Series X versions

583
00:22:22,620 --> 00:22:25,660
will include hard copies of the game discs,

584
00:22:25,660 --> 00:22:28,900
while the PC version contains a digital download code.

585
00:22:28,900 --> 00:22:31,060
You can purchase the Assassin's Creed Shadows

586
00:22:31,060 --> 00:22:34,340
Collector's Edition from places like Game in the UK

587
00:22:34,340 --> 00:22:36,100
or GameStop in the US.

588
00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:39,060
So we get a fucking physical disc,

589
00:22:39,060 --> 00:22:41,580
like I winzed about last time.

590
00:22:41,580 --> 00:22:42,460
Physical disc.

591
00:22:42,460 --> 00:22:43,880
You're giving me a fucking steel book,

592
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,460
you give me the disc.

593
00:22:45,460 --> 00:22:47,420
You give me something I can put in that steel book.

594
00:22:47,420 --> 00:22:48,260
They've listened.

595
00:22:48,260 --> 00:22:50,460
They've obviously listened to what's the buttons.

596
00:22:50,460 --> 00:22:53,060
Because we said this last time,

597
00:22:53,060 --> 00:22:54,860
with Collector's Editions,

598
00:22:54,860 --> 00:22:56,180
I'm paying a premium,

599
00:22:56,180 --> 00:22:57,640
you're giving me a steel book.

600
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,480
Fair enough,

601
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,260
if you wanna go down the route of everything being digital,

602
00:23:01,260 --> 00:23:02,900
get rid of the fucking physical discs.

603
00:23:02,900 --> 00:23:04,120
I do understand it.

604
00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:07,900
However, if I'm paying 150 to 300 quid

605
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:09,980
for a special Collector's Edition,

606
00:23:09,980 --> 00:23:11,780
give me the fucking disc.

607
00:23:11,780 --> 00:23:13,460
Put it in the hard case.

608
00:23:13,460 --> 00:23:14,900
I find it highly amusing

609
00:23:14,900 --> 00:23:17,020
that it's already on eBay for 350 quid.

610
00:23:17,020 --> 00:23:18,220
Of course it fucking is.

611
00:23:19,220 --> 00:23:20,060
Of course it is,

612
00:23:20,060 --> 00:23:20,900
because that's what people do.

613
00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:22,060
I never trust that either,

614
00:23:22,060 --> 00:23:23,420
because so what?

615
00:23:23,420 --> 00:23:24,780
They've bought the pre-order,

616
00:23:24,780 --> 00:23:26,700
you then buy that on eBay off of that person,

617
00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:28,000
and then what?

618
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,420
You just hope that when they get their Collector's Edition,

619
00:23:30,420 --> 00:23:31,380
they send it to you.

620
00:23:31,380 --> 00:23:32,220
Not only that,

621
00:23:32,220 --> 00:23:36,700
you've also already lost part of your purchase,

622
00:23:36,700 --> 00:23:38,380
because you ain't getting three days early access

623
00:23:38,380 --> 00:23:39,540
if you gotta wait for it to get to them

624
00:23:39,540 --> 00:23:41,020
and then send it to you.

625
00:23:41,020 --> 00:23:44,300
Unless they give you the info that it's been bought on

626
00:23:44,300 --> 00:23:46,940
and then you like change the address and all that shit.

627
00:23:46,940 --> 00:23:48,460
I don't fucking know how it works.

628
00:23:48,460 --> 00:23:49,340
I've never trusted it.

629
00:23:49,340 --> 00:23:50,500
I've never needed to do it.

630
00:23:50,500 --> 00:23:52,020
No, not for me.

631
00:23:52,020 --> 00:23:55,140
But it is exciting nevertheless.

632
00:23:55,140 --> 00:23:57,700
So are you buying it?

633
00:23:57,700 --> 00:23:58,860
I think I will, yeah.

634
00:23:58,860 --> 00:24:00,860
Not right now, but I think I will.

635
00:24:00,860 --> 00:24:01,700
Like I said to you,

636
00:24:01,700 --> 00:24:02,940
the fact that you buy it on game

637
00:24:02,940 --> 00:24:04,900
and then they don't charge you until a week before.

638
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:05,740
I don't like that.

639
00:24:05,740 --> 00:24:07,060
I'd rather pay for it now.

640
00:24:07,060 --> 00:24:08,740
I don't like that part of it.

641
00:24:08,740 --> 00:24:11,020
The Elden Ring one obviously we paid for up front.

642
00:24:11,020 --> 00:24:11,860
I didn't.

643
00:24:11,860 --> 00:24:13,380
Well I fucking did, I didn't realise.

644
00:24:13,380 --> 00:24:15,220
I did the PayPal credit thing.

645
00:24:15,220 --> 00:24:16,540
Yeah, see I was going to pay it off.

646
00:24:16,540 --> 00:24:18,340
I was going to do that after I paid it

647
00:24:18,340 --> 00:24:20,460
and then realised I couldn't.

648
00:24:20,460 --> 00:24:23,500
That's what I might do with this one.

649
00:24:23,500 --> 00:24:24,980
I might just PayPal credit it

650
00:24:24,980 --> 00:24:27,780
and then hopefully I can pay that off.

651
00:24:27,780 --> 00:24:29,500
Hopefully PayPal take that money

652
00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:30,820
and then it sits there and I'll pay that

653
00:24:30,820 --> 00:24:33,300
and then they'll take it, blah, blah, blah.

654
00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:35,180
The statue is very cool.

655
00:24:35,180 --> 00:24:36,260
I'm a big fan of it.

656
00:24:36,260 --> 00:24:39,020
I like having that kind of shit.

657
00:24:39,980 --> 00:24:42,820
Me and Steph, it's like,

658
00:24:42,820 --> 00:24:44,980
other than Funko Pops, it's like a vice man.

659
00:24:44,980 --> 00:24:47,940
Just having a cool statue or a game that you like is.

660
00:24:47,940 --> 00:24:48,780
It's tangible.

661
00:24:48,780 --> 00:24:49,620
It's very tangible.

662
00:24:49,620 --> 00:24:53,060
It's a tangible object of something that you like.

663
00:24:53,060 --> 00:24:55,820
So I've got a statue of Geralt fighting the Griffin.

664
00:24:55,820 --> 00:24:57,220
I feel like I have Geralt.

665
00:24:57,220 --> 00:25:00,140
I have something of him.

666
00:25:00,140 --> 00:25:02,700
I mean that's why I want that Mind Flare statue so bad, man.

667
00:25:02,700 --> 00:25:03,660
I fucking...

668
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:06,660
I thought I had it the other day.

669
00:25:06,660 --> 00:25:08,500
The price of it was good and that.

670
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:11,380
And then I went through it all

671
00:25:11,380 --> 00:25:13,460
and it was like the only thing that wasn't included

672
00:25:13,460 --> 00:25:14,300
was the statue.

673
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:15,700
It's the only thing I fucking want.

674
00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:17,540
It's the only thing I want, man.

675
00:25:17,540 --> 00:25:18,580
I want any of the other shit.

676
00:25:18,580 --> 00:25:19,420
I just want the statue.

677
00:25:19,420 --> 00:25:20,260
Keep all the other stuff, bro.

678
00:25:20,260 --> 00:25:22,220
It's the only thing I want, but.

679
00:25:22,220 --> 00:25:23,060
Fuming.

680
00:25:23,060 --> 00:25:25,020
One day, one day I'll have it.

681
00:25:25,020 --> 00:25:25,980
It's a life goal.

682
00:25:25,980 --> 00:25:28,220
But yeah, that's probably enough on Assassin's Creed.

683
00:25:28,220 --> 00:25:29,060
Maybe it'll be a...

684
00:25:29,060 --> 00:25:30,140
I'm really excited, though.

685
00:25:30,140 --> 00:25:31,540
Maybe it'll be a Comic-Con.

686
00:25:31,540 --> 00:25:33,580
Obviously I've got fucking Comic-Con, didn't I?

687
00:25:33,580 --> 00:25:34,500
The end of this month.

688
00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:35,340
Yeah?

689
00:25:35,340 --> 00:25:36,180
Yeah.

690
00:25:36,180 --> 00:25:37,020
Nice.

691
00:25:37,020 --> 00:25:37,940
Fucking...

692
00:25:37,940 --> 00:25:39,660
I'll have a little look for you

693
00:25:39,660 --> 00:25:41,780
and see if there's anything fucking knocking around.

694
00:25:41,780 --> 00:25:44,260
I'm going in looking for D&D dice.

695
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:45,860
That's what I'm...

696
00:25:45,860 --> 00:25:46,740
Oh, fuck, yeah.

697
00:25:46,740 --> 00:25:48,740
I've got Comic-Con at the end of this month.

698
00:25:48,740 --> 00:25:50,420
Oh, we won't be able to do D&D.

699
00:25:50,420 --> 00:25:51,660
Cause it's on the 26th.

700
00:25:51,660 --> 00:25:53,780
Yeah, but it's not...

701
00:25:53,780 --> 00:25:55,540
Is it the 26th next week, is it?

702
00:25:55,540 --> 00:25:56,380
Is it?

703
00:25:56,380 --> 00:25:57,220
I think it might be.

704
00:25:57,220 --> 00:25:58,060
It must be, yeah.

705
00:25:58,060 --> 00:25:58,900
It is in a...

706
00:25:58,900 --> 00:26:00,300
Oh no, Sunday.

707
00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:02,180
So I could potentially do the Saturday.

708
00:26:02,180 --> 00:26:03,020
We could do the Saturday.

709
00:26:03,020 --> 00:26:04,020
Comic-Con Sunday, is it?

710
00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:04,860
Comic-Con's on Sunday, yeah.

711
00:26:04,860 --> 00:26:07,180
Yeah, I'd prefer to do Saturday anyway.

712
00:26:07,180 --> 00:26:08,780
Maybe if you can sort that out there, mate.

713
00:26:08,780 --> 00:26:09,740
Oh, we'll speak to Connor.

714
00:26:09,740 --> 00:26:12,420
Maybe we can do that.

715
00:26:12,420 --> 00:26:13,780
Speak to her when I get him.

716
00:26:13,780 --> 00:26:14,620
We'll see.

717
00:26:14,620 --> 00:26:15,860
But yeah, we're fucking...

718
00:26:15,860 --> 00:26:20,860
I think it's me, me, Darryl, Connor, Mark,

719
00:26:22,500 --> 00:26:26,700
Mark's Mrs., Steph, and Steph's mate Meg.

720
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:28,380
Just fucking seven of us going.

721
00:26:28,380 --> 00:26:29,220
Hey there, Meg.

722
00:26:29,220 --> 00:26:30,620
It's gonna be quite cool.

723
00:26:30,620 --> 00:26:32,220
We'll do the same shit that we did last time

724
00:26:32,220 --> 00:26:34,060
where everyone wears what's the buttons.

725
00:26:34,060 --> 00:26:35,140
It's kind of a must.

726
00:26:36,460 --> 00:26:38,620
And yeah, hopefully I won't have a cold this time

727
00:26:38,620 --> 00:26:41,420
so I can smell just how bad it really was.

728
00:26:41,420 --> 00:26:44,180
Because I've been reminded that it does stink.

729
00:26:44,180 --> 00:26:47,140
But I'll be interested in all the D&D stuff

730
00:26:47,140 --> 00:26:50,500
because obviously last Comic-Con I went to,

731
00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:53,180
didn't pay attention to any of that kind of stuff

732
00:26:53,180 --> 00:26:55,060
because we weren't in that world.

733
00:26:55,060 --> 00:26:58,180
Whereas now we're involved with it.

734
00:26:58,180 --> 00:26:59,940
So I can see it from a different perspective.

735
00:26:59,940 --> 00:27:00,780
I fucking love it.

736
00:27:00,780 --> 00:27:01,900
It's very exciting.

737
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:04,460
I was talking to a guy who worked there yesterday.

738
00:27:04,460 --> 00:27:06,940
He was asking if I'd ever played it.

739
00:27:06,940 --> 00:27:07,780
And I was like, yeah.

740
00:27:07,780 --> 00:27:10,580
And he's an open-minded gaming guy.

741
00:27:10,580 --> 00:27:13,060
He has the same beliefs and feelings as us.

742
00:27:14,580 --> 00:27:15,660
And I was explaining it to him.

743
00:27:15,660 --> 00:27:16,780
He said, it sounds cool.

744
00:27:16,780 --> 00:27:18,980
And I showed him the app and it blew his mind.

745
00:27:18,980 --> 00:27:21,500
We could track this is how much gold I've had.

746
00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:24,260
This is how much gold he had, but now it's in my pocket.

747
00:27:24,260 --> 00:27:25,100
Do you know what I mean?

748
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:28,180
And I was saying to him, I think D&D is,

749
00:27:29,940 --> 00:27:32,420
from the outside looking in much like gaming used to be

750
00:27:32,420 --> 00:27:34,420
where people were just like, if you're gaming, you're a nerd.

751
00:27:34,420 --> 00:27:36,780
If you walked around in a Dragon Ball Z T-shirt

752
00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:40,140
when I was a kid, I'd have got fucking whacked up, bro.

753
00:27:40,140 --> 00:27:40,980
Do you know what I mean?

754
00:27:40,980 --> 00:27:42,260
I'd have got hired in.

755
00:27:42,260 --> 00:27:45,020
But if I walk around with a Dragon Ball Z T-shirt on now,

756
00:27:45,020 --> 00:27:46,460
people would just think, yeah, it's cool.

757
00:27:46,460 --> 00:27:47,300
He likes Dragon Ball Z.

758
00:27:47,300 --> 00:27:48,380
Oh, look, it's fucking Goku, man.

759
00:27:48,380 --> 00:27:49,220
It's Goku Z.

760
00:27:49,220 --> 00:27:50,060
Exactly.

761
00:27:50,060 --> 00:27:51,300
But that's how times have changed.

762
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:54,540
And I think D&D still hasn't got out of that point

763
00:27:54,540 --> 00:27:57,220
where people still think, are you fucking nerd, man?

764
00:27:57,220 --> 00:28:00,580
But D&D is one of those incredible things where

765
00:28:00,580 --> 00:28:04,260
I don't think from our one session that we've played,

766
00:28:04,260 --> 00:28:07,940
nine hours, we in the moment realized

767
00:28:07,940 --> 00:28:09,460
just how much fun we were having.

768
00:28:09,460 --> 00:28:11,140
No, how much we were laughing.

769
00:28:11,140 --> 00:28:11,980
Yeah, exactly.

770
00:28:11,980 --> 00:28:12,820
We were at Albert.

771
00:28:12,820 --> 00:28:20,860
And all we were doing was looking at a green bit of cardboard

772
00:28:20,860 --> 00:28:22,260
with me rolling a one.

773
00:28:22,260 --> 00:28:23,980
Yeah.

774
00:28:23,980 --> 00:28:28,340
I mean, and Connor had doodled on it in fucking Sharpie

775
00:28:28,340 --> 00:28:31,580
or fucking whiteboard marker.

776
00:28:31,580 --> 00:28:32,700
And that was it.

777
00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:35,740
But this is why I think people don't understand.

778
00:28:35,740 --> 00:28:40,220
Because I think the people that do get it are obviously

779
00:28:40,220 --> 00:28:40,940
they're into it.

780
00:28:40,940 --> 00:28:42,980
But they have the minds for it.

781
00:28:42,980 --> 00:28:45,180
You have to have an imagination because you're

782
00:28:45,180 --> 00:28:46,660
creating this off your own.

783
00:28:46,660 --> 00:28:47,860
Connor gives you the pieces.

784
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:48,580
This is the story.

785
00:28:48,580 --> 00:28:49,980
You need to get from here to here.

786
00:28:49,980 --> 00:28:53,660
Now, in this space, now you create the stories.

787
00:28:53,660 --> 00:28:56,780
Yeah, you couldn't have Mark playing D&D with us

788
00:28:56,780 --> 00:28:59,340
because his character would be a brick wall.

789
00:28:59,340 --> 00:29:00,420
You get nothing out of it.

790
00:29:00,420 --> 00:29:01,260
You have to interact.

791
00:29:01,260 --> 00:29:03,100
You have to make your own storylines happen

792
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:04,980
whilst you're being funneled along this thing.

793
00:29:04,980 --> 00:29:06,860
But then Connor has to have the ability

794
00:29:06,860 --> 00:29:09,420
to, when we go off the beaten path, to come up with something.

795
00:29:09,420 --> 00:29:10,380
He must have hated it.

796
00:29:10,380 --> 00:29:11,700
But no, but that's what I mean.

797
00:29:11,700 --> 00:29:13,740
He has the ability to do it, right?

798
00:29:13,740 --> 00:29:15,860
He's got the imagination to do it.

799
00:29:15,860 --> 00:29:18,380
So in that respect, only certain type

800
00:29:18,380 --> 00:29:22,340
of people that have the imaginations can play D&D,

801
00:29:22,340 --> 00:29:22,860
I think.

802
00:29:22,860 --> 00:29:24,860
So people that haven't got that, because there's

803
00:29:24,860 --> 00:29:27,020
so many people that don't have that sort of thing.

804
00:29:27,020 --> 00:29:29,740
They haven't got an imagination for fantasy lands

805
00:29:29,740 --> 00:29:30,740
and all that sort of shit.

806
00:29:30,740 --> 00:29:31,740
They're not interested.

807
00:29:31,740 --> 00:29:33,540
So they wouldn't be like that.

808
00:29:33,540 --> 00:29:36,060
So I think, yeah, D&D, if you're the right person for it,

809
00:29:36,060 --> 00:29:36,980
I think it's fantastic.

810
00:29:36,980 --> 00:29:37,660
I love it.

811
00:29:37,660 --> 00:29:38,820
So I'm quite jealous here.

812
00:29:38,820 --> 00:29:41,060
Keep an eye out for D&D stuff.

813
00:29:41,060 --> 00:29:45,460
Yeah, because I want to get a proper, decent set of darts.

814
00:29:45,460 --> 00:29:47,820
Because I just don't fucking trust my wooden ones.

815
00:29:47,820 --> 00:29:49,060
They're pathetic.

816
00:29:49,060 --> 00:29:51,740
They're obviously weighted more towards the fucking lower end

817
00:29:51,740 --> 00:29:54,940
of the fucking one to eight.

818
00:29:54,940 --> 00:29:58,020
There must be something going on with them ones.

819
00:29:58,020 --> 00:29:59,980
So they've got that.

820
00:29:59,980 --> 00:30:04,820
That'll be quite interesting.

821
00:30:04,820 --> 00:30:08,500
I haven't played anything apart from my Steam Deck.

822
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:09,180
Oh, yeah.

823
00:30:09,180 --> 00:30:10,380
Yeah, yeah, forget about that.

824
00:30:10,380 --> 00:30:11,300
You're still fucking.

825
00:30:11,300 --> 00:30:14,140
I think that is the best thing I've ever bought in my life.

826
00:30:14,140 --> 00:30:17,700
Genuinely, I think that that is the best piece of technology

827
00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:19,900
I've ever bought in my entire life.

828
00:30:19,900 --> 00:30:23,420
I think it is fucking phenomenal.

829
00:30:23,420 --> 00:30:24,780
Have you taken it to work yet?

830
00:30:24,780 --> 00:30:26,100
Absolutely not.

831
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:27,540
Not a chance.

832
00:30:27,540 --> 00:30:29,900
I've got 38 pounds in my Steam Wallet.

833
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:30,400
Yeah.

834
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,740
Because for my birthday, Jem gave me

835
00:30:32,740 --> 00:30:35,740
100 pound Steam vouchers.

836
00:30:35,740 --> 00:30:38,260
So all I've been doing is going through games

837
00:30:38,260 --> 00:30:40,180
that I like the look of, wish listing them.

838
00:30:40,180 --> 00:30:42,220
And then whenever they go on sale, I buy them for like four

839
00:30:42,220 --> 00:30:43,580
quid.

840
00:30:43,580 --> 00:30:44,300
Fantastic.

841
00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:48,380
So far, I own Chrono Trigger, Hades, Halls of Torn Men,

842
00:30:48,380 --> 00:30:51,060
Rest of the Wicked, No Rest for the Wicked, Stardew Valley,

843
00:30:51,060 --> 00:30:55,700
V-Rising, Valheim Ashlands, or Valheim, and Wizard of Legend.

844
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:57,060
How is V-Rising?

845
00:30:57,060 --> 00:30:58,500
How are you getting on with that?

846
00:30:58,500 --> 00:30:58,860
I love it.

847
00:30:58,860 --> 00:31:01,060
I've seen quite a bit of it popping up quite a lot.

848
00:31:01,060 --> 00:31:07,260
I'm too interested in fucking, well, Stardew Valley.

849
00:31:07,260 --> 00:31:09,620
I've played for 37 hours.

850
00:31:09,620 --> 00:31:10,980
All on the Steam Deck, yeah?

851
00:31:10,980 --> 00:31:11,500
Yeah.

852
00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:12,580
It's crazy.

853
00:31:12,580 --> 00:31:16,380
Hades, I've played for 10, or 9.6, so 10 hours.

854
00:31:16,380 --> 00:31:18,500
V-Rising, I've played for four.

855
00:31:18,500 --> 00:31:21,140
But in the last two weeks, I've played for 31.1 hours.

856
00:31:21,140 --> 00:31:22,580
What about something like Dredge?

857
00:31:22,580 --> 00:31:23,820
I know Connor played that, and he said

858
00:31:23,820 --> 00:31:25,100
he really, really enjoyed it.

859
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:26,300
It was quite a short game.

860
00:31:26,300 --> 00:31:27,020
It's on my wish list.

861
00:31:27,020 --> 00:31:28,140
I'll get to it when it's on sale.

862
00:31:28,140 --> 00:31:28,980
I'll buy it.

863
00:31:28,980 --> 00:31:31,820
As soon as it's on sale, I've got 30-odd quid in my wallet

864
00:31:31,820 --> 00:31:32,620
still.

865
00:31:32,620 --> 00:31:34,180
Soon as they go on sale, I'll buy them.

866
00:31:34,180 --> 00:31:34,980
He fucking loves it.

867
00:31:34,980 --> 00:31:36,580
I haven't downloaded most of them.

868
00:31:36,580 --> 00:31:38,300
Have you switched it into desktop mode yet?

869
00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:39,420
No, only that one time.

870
00:31:39,420 --> 00:31:41,180
I'll never do it again.

871
00:31:41,180 --> 00:31:43,020
I'm going to buy a dock for it, though.

872
00:31:43,020 --> 00:31:44,540
I was looking at them yesterday on YouTube

873
00:31:44,540 --> 00:31:45,460
seeing where they're working at.

874
00:31:45,460 --> 00:31:46,900
They're really cool.

875
00:31:46,900 --> 00:31:50,460
The ones that I was looking at, it's just a dock, basically.

876
00:31:50,460 --> 00:31:52,300
And then you just use the plug that you

877
00:31:52,300 --> 00:31:54,580
would have for your Steam Deck.

878
00:31:54,580 --> 00:31:57,620
That plugs in to the dock.

879
00:31:57,620 --> 00:32:01,140
And then there's a wire that comes out of the dock.

880
00:32:01,140 --> 00:32:03,420
It's really small wire that just folds up and goes

881
00:32:03,420 --> 00:32:05,980
into the charging port of the Steam Deck.

882
00:32:05,980 --> 00:32:08,100
It's just a HDMI cable to the telly.

883
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:08,620
That's it.

884
00:32:08,620 --> 00:32:09,620
Very simple.

885
00:32:09,620 --> 00:32:12,900
Then I'm going to fucking blow my mind.

886
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:14,820
Have you then got, I suppose, you then just

887
00:32:14,820 --> 00:32:16,260
got a connected controller to it?

888
00:32:16,260 --> 00:32:17,660
Yeah, because you can use anything.

889
00:32:17,660 --> 00:32:18,180
Anything.

890
00:32:18,180 --> 00:32:19,100
Use your DualShock.

891
00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:19,580
Yeah, I'm going to.

892
00:32:19,580 --> 00:32:21,700
I'm just going to use my PlayStation Control.

893
00:32:21,700 --> 00:32:24,260
And then I'm just going to play fucking all these games

894
00:32:24,260 --> 00:32:26,340
that I like but on the bigger screen.

895
00:32:26,340 --> 00:32:30,700
But yeah, it's just, I can't talk highly enough of it.

896
00:32:30,700 --> 00:32:33,180
I was so nervous when I bought it.

897
00:32:33,180 --> 00:32:34,420
Probably just another switcher.

898
00:32:34,420 --> 00:32:35,820
I'll play it for a fucking couple of weeks

899
00:32:35,820 --> 00:32:36,980
and then put it away.

900
00:32:36,980 --> 00:32:37,580
Told you, man.

901
00:32:37,580 --> 00:32:39,460
It's a different entity.

902
00:32:39,460 --> 00:32:41,220
I'm always on the Steam Store just looking.

903
00:32:41,220 --> 00:32:41,660
What's new?

904
00:32:41,660 --> 00:32:42,340
What's this about?

905
00:32:42,340 --> 00:32:44,220
What's got overwhelmingly positive reviews?

906
00:32:44,220 --> 00:32:48,700
And what's incredible about it is you are not

907
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:53,020
a technologically minded person in the form of computers.

908
00:32:53,020 --> 00:32:53,700
Not computers.

909
00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:55,580
You've admitted before.

910
00:32:55,580 --> 00:32:59,300
And that Steam Deck has the capability

911
00:32:59,300 --> 00:33:02,460
to do some fucking technical and incredible things.

912
00:33:02,460 --> 00:33:06,140
And yet here you are having the absolute time on your life

913
00:33:06,140 --> 00:33:09,940
because you're just using it to fucking play games, which

914
00:33:09,940 --> 00:33:10,940
is what it's there for.

915
00:33:10,940 --> 00:33:11,820
You know what I mean?

916
00:33:11,820 --> 00:33:14,100
You aren't unlocking its full potential

917
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:15,540
of what it can actually do.

918
00:33:15,540 --> 00:33:19,380
And that does not fucking matter in the absolute slightest

919
00:33:19,380 --> 00:33:21,540
because you are playing that Steam Deck the way

920
00:33:21,540 --> 00:33:22,500
it was intended.

921
00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:25,780
And the way it is intended to be played is how you want to play it.

922
00:33:25,780 --> 00:33:26,780
I love it.

923
00:33:26,780 --> 00:33:27,540
Which is perfect.

924
00:33:27,540 --> 00:33:29,420
Hades 2 has just come out in early access.

925
00:33:29,420 --> 00:33:30,380
You've heard of Hades, right?

926
00:33:30,380 --> 00:33:31,660
I have, yeah.

927
00:33:31,660 --> 00:33:32,980
One of the most popular fucking.

928
00:33:32,980 --> 00:33:35,220
Yeah, when you go on the most played on Steam,

929
00:33:35,220 --> 00:33:36,300
it's fucking up the top.

930
00:33:36,300 --> 00:33:38,860
Yeah, so it's a testament to the Steam Deck

931
00:33:38,860 --> 00:33:41,540
because Hades 2 has come out in early access.

932
00:33:41,540 --> 00:33:42,620
And I was going to buy it.

933
00:33:42,620 --> 00:33:45,220
But then I was like, I didn't like Hades 1.

934
00:33:45,220 --> 00:33:47,180
But I had Hades 1 on my wish list anyway,

935
00:33:47,180 --> 00:33:51,180
just because I thought it was cool to own.

936
00:33:51,180 --> 00:33:53,620
So it went on sale for like seven quid or so.

937
00:33:53,620 --> 00:33:54,900
So I was like, fuck it.

938
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:56,700
So I bought it.

939
00:33:56,700 --> 00:33:58,900
But I was tentative because I thought,

940
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:01,340
well, because it's like an ongoing story to the second one,

941
00:34:01,340 --> 00:34:03,620
I thought, I do want to play the first one to see

942
00:34:03,620 --> 00:34:05,660
how you get to change character because you change your plan

943
00:34:05,660 --> 00:34:08,260
of girl in the second one.

944
00:34:08,260 --> 00:34:11,340
And the testament to the Steam Deck is I fucking hated Hades.

945
00:34:11,340 --> 00:34:13,980
I thought it was so overrated and shit.

946
00:34:13,980 --> 00:34:17,300
But the only time I've ever played Hades was on the Switch.

947
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:19,500
So why do I love it now on the Steam Deck

948
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:20,980
but I hated it on the Switch?

949
00:34:20,980 --> 00:34:22,700
And I don't know the answer to that.

950
00:34:22,700 --> 00:34:23,100
I don't know.

951
00:34:23,100 --> 00:34:24,620
Because it's exactly the same game.

952
00:34:24,620 --> 00:34:26,500
But I hated it on the Nintendo Switch.

953
00:34:26,500 --> 00:34:27,740
I fucking despised it.

954
00:34:27,740 --> 00:34:29,180
I thought, this is shit.

955
00:34:29,180 --> 00:34:30,300
I couldn't get past.

956
00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:32,220
And I'm not a shit gamer.

957
00:34:32,220 --> 00:34:33,860
I'll bang my head against the wall.

958
00:34:33,860 --> 00:34:34,820
I'll get there.

959
00:34:34,820 --> 00:34:37,660
I couldn't beat these fucking boss, this Minotaur

960
00:34:37,660 --> 00:34:39,980
and this other geezer.

961
00:34:39,980 --> 00:34:41,900
And I just couldn't do it on the Switch.

962
00:34:41,900 --> 00:34:43,460
I really didn't enjoy it.

963
00:34:43,460 --> 00:34:45,620
But on the Steam Deck, it's great.

964
00:34:45,620 --> 00:34:47,140
The only thing that worries me is

965
00:34:47,140 --> 00:34:49,100
I'm pressing the buttons too hard.

966
00:34:49,100 --> 00:34:51,020
That just causes me so much anxiety.

967
00:34:51,020 --> 00:34:51,700
What do you mean?

968
00:34:51,700 --> 00:34:53,220
Tapping the buttons like Joe Attack.

969
00:34:53,220 --> 00:34:54,580
I'm just like, oh, am I pressing them too much?

970
00:34:54,580 --> 00:34:56,420
They're going to start getting stuck.

971
00:34:56,420 --> 00:34:57,540
They're not going to get stuck.

972
00:34:57,540 --> 00:34:58,900
I know, but that's how my brain works.

973
00:34:58,900 --> 00:35:00,180
But even if they do, you just go and get it fixed.

974
00:35:00,180 --> 00:35:01,620
I know, but I don't work like that.

975
00:35:01,620 --> 00:35:02,540
My brain's just a panic.

976
00:35:02,540 --> 00:35:03,660
No, I know what you mean.

977
00:35:03,660 --> 00:35:04,540
I know what you mean.

978
00:35:04,540 --> 00:35:05,900
After our last conversation, I've

979
00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:08,620
started turning off my Steam Deck.

980
00:35:08,620 --> 00:35:10,460
I keep it turned off now and turn it on every now

981
00:35:10,460 --> 00:35:13,020
and then to make sure to update it and then charge it.

982
00:35:13,020 --> 00:35:14,980
I just get so excited.

983
00:35:14,980 --> 00:35:18,180
When I turn that on, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.

984
00:35:18,180 --> 00:35:20,420
I'm a Hades, because I've had Hades, the startup screen,

985
00:35:20,420 --> 00:35:21,260
since day one.

986
00:35:21,260 --> 00:35:22,220
Hades comes on.

987
00:35:22,220 --> 00:35:24,940
That's probably why I wish this did it, to be honest.

988
00:35:24,940 --> 00:35:26,620
It comes on.

989
00:35:26,620 --> 00:35:27,900
And then it's instantly on.

990
00:35:27,900 --> 00:35:29,340
I just go Stardew Valley.

991
00:35:29,340 --> 00:35:31,180
I do a couple of days on that.

992
00:35:31,180 --> 00:35:33,060
I've got loads of cows and fucking ducks now.

993
00:35:33,060 --> 00:35:34,420
Have you kept it updated?

994
00:35:34,420 --> 00:35:35,500
Yes, it's updated.

995
00:35:35,500 --> 00:35:36,220
I can't not.

996
00:35:36,220 --> 00:35:37,980
Every time I go on it, press Steam Deck,

997
00:35:37,980 --> 00:35:41,700
there's a little red button next to the settings.

998
00:35:41,700 --> 00:35:43,260
So I go to that and it says update.

999
00:35:43,260 --> 00:35:44,380
And I just go, all right.

1000
00:35:44,380 --> 00:35:45,340
Fair enough.

1001
00:35:45,340 --> 00:35:46,140
I don't do anything.

1002
00:35:46,140 --> 00:35:47,180
That's all you need to do, isn't it?

1003
00:35:47,180 --> 00:35:49,540
Yeah, I think I'm just more prolific with it.

1004
00:35:49,540 --> 00:35:52,500
I check before it prompts you to fucking update it.

1005
00:35:52,500 --> 00:35:57,340
I think it's like, if it runs over by two days or something,

1006
00:35:57,340 --> 00:35:59,900
that's when it just says automatically to update it.

1007
00:35:59,900 --> 00:36:01,660
One thing that has confused me on it

1008
00:36:01,660 --> 00:36:07,540
is when I put Verizon on, when the starting screen comes on,

1009
00:36:07,540 --> 00:36:08,820
it all changes color.

1010
00:36:08,820 --> 00:36:12,860
It all goes yellow, blue, green, red, all lines.

1011
00:36:12,860 --> 00:36:15,780
And then a little phased out TV in the bottom,

1012
00:36:15,780 --> 00:36:19,420
where the main menu just doesn't load properly for some reason.

1013
00:36:19,420 --> 00:36:21,860
Apparently, that happens on some games.

1014
00:36:21,860 --> 00:36:23,300
Yeah, I haven't experienced that.

1015
00:36:23,300 --> 00:36:29,300
But it's all to do with fucking, it's all to do with,

1016
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:33,900
like, what are them things called?

1017
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:34,780
Pixels?

1018
00:36:34,780 --> 00:36:37,740
No, the protons or whatever on there.

1019
00:36:37,740 --> 00:36:40,060
Oh, yeah, the applicator, yeah, proton.

1020
00:36:40,060 --> 00:36:41,300
Yes, it's all to do with that.

1021
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:45,260
And people are saying, like, oh, change it and fucking shit.

1022
00:36:45,260 --> 00:36:47,460
Well, fuck, I don't know how to do all that.

1023
00:36:47,460 --> 00:36:49,020
And I don't know if I want to.

1024
00:36:49,020 --> 00:36:51,300
Is it worth it?

1025
00:36:51,300 --> 00:36:52,540
Should I just leave it as it is?

1026
00:36:52,540 --> 00:36:54,860
I don't want to touch any of the settings.

1027
00:36:54,860 --> 00:36:59,780
But apparently, yeah, some fucking, some games,

1028
00:36:59,780 --> 00:37:02,100
that's something to do with the cutscenes.

1029
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:03,300
They can't play properly.

1030
00:37:03,300 --> 00:37:05,620
So they just show this fucking screen.

1031
00:37:05,620 --> 00:37:06,620
Let me see what it is.

1032
00:37:06,620 --> 00:37:08,540
I'd be a bit careful about changing that kind of stuff.

1033
00:37:08,540 --> 00:37:11,740
Because if you fuck it up, it's a little bit more difficult

1034
00:37:11,740 --> 00:37:15,300
to put it right.

1035
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:17,020
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1036
00:37:17,020 --> 00:37:18,460
That's why I don't want to do it.

1037
00:37:18,460 --> 00:37:19,860
Yeah, this is what's happened.

1038
00:37:19,860 --> 00:37:22,420
But this has happened to this guy on Dragon's Dogma.

1039
00:37:22,420 --> 00:37:24,260
This is the exact screen that comes up

1040
00:37:24,260 --> 00:37:26,340
when I put Hades on.

1041
00:37:26,340 --> 00:37:28,260
Comes up like that.

1042
00:37:28,260 --> 00:37:29,820
And then it's got this little fuzzy TV.

1043
00:37:29,820 --> 00:37:30,660
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1044
00:37:30,660 --> 00:37:32,900
It's all to do with this is what it says.

1045
00:37:32,900 --> 00:37:35,100
It's an issue with playing FMVs.

1046
00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:36,420
I call it the rainbow cutscene.

1047
00:37:36,420 --> 00:37:37,820
Here's how to fix it.

1048
00:37:37,820 --> 00:37:39,300
And I don't know about this.

1049
00:37:39,300 --> 00:37:41,020
So I don't know if this is normal or not.

1050
00:37:41,020 --> 00:37:42,900
But everyone vouches for this solution.

1051
00:37:42,900 --> 00:37:43,940
This is what everyone says.

1052
00:37:43,940 --> 00:37:44,700
Yeah, it worked.

1053
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:45,900
Thank you.

1054
00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:47,900
Hold your power button or press the steam button.

1055
00:37:47,900 --> 00:37:49,300
Scroll down to power.

1056
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:50,500
Select switch to desktop.

1057
00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:51,420
Already scared.

1058
00:37:52,620 --> 00:37:55,980
Open the Discovery store in the bottom left.

1059
00:37:55,980 --> 00:37:57,660
Once you have control of the trackpad,

1060
00:37:57,660 --> 00:38:01,260
search for Proton UpQT in the store.

1061
00:38:01,260 --> 00:38:03,300
Download, install, and then launch it.

1062
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:06,340
Once a little window pops up, click add version.

1063
00:38:06,340 --> 00:38:09,140
Make sure it is selected with the compatibility tool,

1064
00:38:09,140 --> 00:38:12,620
Proton GE, and then whatever the latest version is.

1065
00:38:12,620 --> 00:38:14,980
Install it, go back to game mode, select the game,

1066
00:38:14,980 --> 00:38:16,420
select the gear on the far right,

1067
00:38:16,420 --> 00:38:18,020
then scroll down to properties.

1068
00:38:18,020 --> 00:38:19,740
Go to compatibility and check mark,

1069
00:38:19,740 --> 00:38:22,980
force the use of specific steam play compatibility tool.

1070
00:38:22,980 --> 00:38:24,980
Select GE Proton.

1071
00:38:24,980 --> 00:38:25,820
It makes sense.

1072
00:38:25,820 --> 00:38:26,660
It's pretty simple.

1073
00:38:26,660 --> 00:38:28,780
But then what scares me is go to the desktop

1074
00:38:28,780 --> 00:38:32,020
and then search for something in a store

1075
00:38:32,020 --> 00:38:33,460
and then download stuff.

1076
00:38:33,460 --> 00:38:34,300
What store?

1077
00:38:35,260 --> 00:38:37,180
When you go into the desktop mode,

1078
00:38:37,180 --> 00:38:41,220
it's like a little bag type thing.

1079
00:38:41,220 --> 00:38:43,300
And it's just the store,

1080
00:38:43,300 --> 00:38:46,140
like Google Play Store or something like that.

1081
00:38:46,140 --> 00:38:48,100
Just where you download different apps and shit,

1082
00:38:48,100 --> 00:38:49,820
different app, different stuff.

1083
00:38:49,820 --> 00:38:53,660
But what scares me is in my head on computers,

1084
00:38:53,660 --> 00:38:55,220
downloading stuff gives you viruses.

1085
00:38:55,220 --> 00:38:56,460
It will never give you a virus.

1086
00:38:56,460 --> 00:38:57,300
All right, that's what concerned me.

1087
00:38:57,300 --> 00:38:58,140
It won't give you a virus.

1088
00:38:58,140 --> 00:38:58,980
All right, okay.

1089
00:38:58,980 --> 00:39:00,340
Well, if that's the case, then I won't mind trying it.

1090
00:39:00,340 --> 00:39:02,180
It won't get you, it won't.

1091
00:39:02,180 --> 00:39:04,420
When you go into desktop mode,

1092
00:39:04,420 --> 00:39:06,900
everything that's on that desktop and in the settings

1093
00:39:06,900 --> 00:39:09,500
and all of that shit is meant to be there.

1094
00:39:09,500 --> 00:39:12,060
It would only be if you started going onto Google

1095
00:39:12,060 --> 00:39:14,700
and then trying to download shit from different places,

1096
00:39:14,700 --> 00:39:17,300
you have a potential of where you're gonna end up

1097
00:39:17,300 --> 00:39:18,140
getting a virus.

1098
00:39:18,140 --> 00:39:22,220
But again, times have changed a lot

1099
00:39:22,220 --> 00:39:24,820
from when we were all younger.

1100
00:39:24,820 --> 00:39:27,260
So viruses act and behave differently

1101
00:39:27,260 --> 00:39:31,100
and fucking they're not as prolific in the same way.

1102
00:39:32,700 --> 00:39:36,340
So yeah, the likelihood of you going on to desktop mode

1103
00:39:36,340 --> 00:39:40,580
given your Steam Deck of Viruses slim to none basically.

1104
00:39:40,580 --> 00:39:41,660
Well, this is good to know

1105
00:39:41,660 --> 00:39:43,820
and I'll be more confident in looking at it then,

1106
00:39:43,820 --> 00:39:46,260
but just going into desktop mode anyways,

1107
00:39:46,260 --> 00:39:48,620
just like an absolute no-no for me.

1108
00:39:48,620 --> 00:39:50,580
Soon as I said that, I was like, I'll just deal with it.

1109
00:39:50,580 --> 00:39:51,740
I'll just leave it.

1110
00:39:51,740 --> 00:39:53,100
I'm not fucking risking it.

1111
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:56,380
Yeah, it's a bit scary.

1112
00:39:56,380 --> 00:39:57,780
But yeah, it's not causing it any harm

1113
00:39:57,780 --> 00:39:59,380
and that's not like I need to see the main menu.

1114
00:39:59,380 --> 00:40:01,380
It's the only thing that it comes up at.

1115
00:40:01,380 --> 00:40:04,540
Just, oh, pardon me, I'm just sicky but.

1116
00:40:04,540 --> 00:40:05,380
Nice.

1117
00:40:05,380 --> 00:40:06,220
Oh, nice.

1118
00:40:06,220 --> 00:40:07,060
Oh, nice.

1119
00:40:07,060 --> 00:40:10,140
Well, yeah, V-rising I think is,

1120
00:40:11,580 --> 00:40:13,660
I think you'd like it, really good.

1121
00:40:15,740 --> 00:40:17,540
Are you good?

1122
00:40:17,540 --> 00:40:18,380
Are you good?

1123
00:40:18,380 --> 00:40:19,500
You're fucking dying.

1124
00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:22,100
No, I'm just contemplating life.

1125
00:40:22,100 --> 00:40:22,940
Yeah.

1126
00:40:23,980 --> 00:40:25,820
So you start as a vampire obviously.

1127
00:40:27,860 --> 00:40:29,420
Create your own vampire, what you look like,

1128
00:40:29,420 --> 00:40:31,620
eyes, fucking all that bollocks.

1129
00:40:31,620 --> 00:40:33,180
And then you rise from your coffin

1130
00:40:33,180 --> 00:40:35,740
and then you run around doing your little tutorial,

1131
00:40:35,740 --> 00:40:37,020
kill this, kill that.

1132
00:40:37,020 --> 00:40:38,500
And then the game's basically just like,

1133
00:40:38,500 --> 00:40:39,340
you do what you want.

1134
00:40:39,340 --> 00:40:42,780
So basically it's just like a constant,

1135
00:40:42,780 --> 00:40:44,020
I don't know what games to think about.

1136
00:40:44,020 --> 00:40:46,980
It's probably much like that in Shrouded in terms of,

1137
00:40:46,980 --> 00:40:50,780
and Valheim to a degree where you build your castle

1138
00:40:50,780 --> 00:40:51,940
or you build your castle heart,

1139
00:40:51,940 --> 00:40:54,340
which is like, this is where I'm building.

1140
00:40:54,340 --> 00:40:56,900
And then it will be like,

1141
00:40:56,900 --> 00:40:59,620
your next objective is always do this to unlock.

1142
00:40:59,620 --> 00:41:04,620
So it's like, build a flooring to unlock walls.

1143
00:41:05,260 --> 00:41:06,500
And then you do that.

1144
00:41:06,500 --> 00:41:07,460
Yeah, it's that sort of stuff.

1145
00:41:07,460 --> 00:41:09,660
And then I'll do this to unlock research table.

1146
00:41:09,660 --> 00:41:10,500
So it's just constantly like that.

1147
00:41:10,500 --> 00:41:11,340
Standard procedure.

1148
00:41:11,340 --> 00:41:14,380
There's also like bosses that roam the world

1149
00:41:15,420 --> 00:41:18,340
and they have V blood and you can track the bosses

1150
00:41:18,340 --> 00:41:19,620
and they're all different levels and stuff.

1151
00:41:19,620 --> 00:41:21,340
And they always unlock new powers

1152
00:41:21,340 --> 00:41:23,780
and it's fucking, it's really cool.

1153
00:41:23,780 --> 00:41:26,340
You get to like suck people's blood.

1154
00:41:26,340 --> 00:41:27,500
Suck people off.

1155
00:41:27,500 --> 00:41:29,260
Yeah, basically yum yum.

1156
00:41:29,260 --> 00:41:30,660
And they have like a percentage

1157
00:41:30,660 --> 00:41:32,020
of how powerful their blood is.

1158
00:41:32,020 --> 00:41:34,460
And it will say when you hover over them,

1159
00:41:34,460 --> 00:41:36,100
like 80% blood, which is good.

1160
00:41:36,100 --> 00:41:37,700
And it will give you 80% of the buffs

1161
00:41:37,700 --> 00:41:39,140
that that say the warrior,

1162
00:41:39,140 --> 00:41:41,980
he'll give you 80% warrior blood buffs and stuff.

1163
00:41:41,980 --> 00:41:43,460
It's another cool thing.

1164
00:41:43,460 --> 00:41:48,460
Yeah, it sounds like the standard survival-esque type.

1165
00:41:48,540 --> 00:41:51,220
You can capture people, put them in prison

1166
00:41:51,220 --> 00:41:53,180
in your castle and then just feed on them.

1167
00:41:53,180 --> 00:41:54,700
So if you feed on someone, they die.

1168
00:41:54,700 --> 00:41:56,100
But if you put them in your castle,

1169
00:41:56,100 --> 00:41:56,940
they're like your fools.

1170
00:41:56,940 --> 00:41:58,420
You can just constantly fucking,

1171
00:41:58,420 --> 00:42:00,340
oh, I want rogue blood today.

1172
00:42:00,340 --> 00:42:03,340
And I found a fucking 80% blood rogue,

1173
00:42:03,340 --> 00:42:04,620
then I'll pop him in prison.

1174
00:42:04,620 --> 00:42:06,860
Oh, I found a 100% blood warrior.

1175
00:42:06,860 --> 00:42:08,660
I'll suck him off today.

1176
00:42:08,660 --> 00:42:09,500
You know what I mean, like that.

1177
00:42:09,500 --> 00:42:11,860
It's great, I love it.

1178
00:42:11,860 --> 00:42:13,820
But no, the game, I think,

1179
00:42:13,820 --> 00:42:15,860
obviously I'm playing on a solo thing.

1180
00:42:15,860 --> 00:42:17,580
So you can set your settings how you want it.

1181
00:42:17,580 --> 00:42:20,780
I set it to just PvE solo server, rah rah rah.

1182
00:42:20,780 --> 00:42:23,300
But I think if you set that to PvE,

1183
00:42:23,300 --> 00:42:25,820
if you went on a PvP server, I think that's nuts.

1184
00:42:25,820 --> 00:42:28,460
Because all the different plots of land,

1185
00:42:28,460 --> 00:42:30,300
there's like fucking hundreds of different places

1186
00:42:30,300 --> 00:42:31,660
you can build your castle.

1187
00:42:32,700 --> 00:42:34,820
But obviously only one person

1188
00:42:34,820 --> 00:42:36,820
can build their castle there.

1189
00:42:36,820 --> 00:42:41,820
So you build your castle, people can raid you and shit.

1190
00:42:41,980 --> 00:42:44,380
So you try and take your castle down, take your land.

1191
00:42:44,380 --> 00:42:45,220
But then vice versa.

1192
00:42:45,220 --> 00:42:47,220
And there's better spots to have like someone near lakes,

1193
00:42:47,220 --> 00:42:48,540
some are like in semi-trees.

1194
00:42:48,540 --> 00:42:49,660
That's quite cool, I like that.

1195
00:42:49,660 --> 00:42:51,940
So if you was actually with a pal,

1196
00:42:51,940 --> 00:42:55,180
or a couple of pals, you can just go fucking raiding out

1197
00:42:55,180 --> 00:42:56,020
and have a vampire castle.

1198
00:42:56,020 --> 00:42:58,100
Oh, you could have like a whole fucking little empire there

1199
00:42:58,100 --> 00:43:00,220
where you've all put your little places near each other

1200
00:43:00,220 --> 00:43:02,140
and fucking, I'm being attacked quick.

1201
00:43:02,140 --> 00:43:04,100
You could have a vampire castle estate

1202
00:43:04,100 --> 00:43:05,260
and then just go and rule over,

1203
00:43:05,260 --> 00:43:06,540
go and invade other castles.

1204
00:43:06,540 --> 00:43:07,940
Send word to the north.

1205
00:43:07,940 --> 00:43:10,620
Mate, in that respect, I think it's really cool.

1206
00:43:10,620 --> 00:43:12,100
But I haven't got anywhere near there

1207
00:43:12,100 --> 00:43:15,340
because I haven't even built a wall yet.

1208
00:43:15,340 --> 00:43:18,820
I've built, I've got loads of tables and chests and stuff,

1209
00:43:18,820 --> 00:43:22,060
but I haven't built like a fucking enclosed thing.

1210
00:43:22,060 --> 00:43:23,300
I love it.

1211
00:43:23,300 --> 00:43:26,100
I love that you explained all of that.

1212
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:27,820
And he's just like, I ain't got there yet

1213
00:43:27,820 --> 00:43:29,220
because I ain't got walls.

1214
00:43:31,220 --> 00:43:33,460
We're very similar, like you always say.

1215
00:43:33,460 --> 00:43:34,580
I'm not creative enough.

1216
00:43:34,580 --> 00:43:35,420
Yeah.

1217
00:43:35,420 --> 00:43:37,940
When I'm, in my thing, I've got the castle heart,

1218
00:43:37,940 --> 00:43:40,620
which is what pumps the castle, makes it work.

1219
00:43:40,620 --> 00:43:42,060
And you need to top that with blood

1220
00:43:42,060 --> 00:43:44,100
to get all your machines and stuff to always work

1221
00:43:44,100 --> 00:43:46,300
and craft and rah rah.

1222
00:43:46,300 --> 00:43:49,140
But where I've put everything is just basically

1223
00:43:49,140 --> 00:43:52,260
in like a, in the middle of an open field.

1224
00:43:52,260 --> 00:43:53,980
And when I look at that open field,

1225
00:43:53,980 --> 00:43:56,780
I don't see places to put walls and castles.

1226
00:43:56,780 --> 00:43:58,380
I just see open field and I'm just like,

1227
00:43:58,380 --> 00:43:59,540
I don't know where to begin.

1228
00:43:59,540 --> 00:44:00,380
Yeah.

1229
00:44:00,380 --> 00:44:02,180
So I just don't, I just go around killing people.

1230
00:44:02,180 --> 00:44:04,220
Yeah, so my thought process is, right,

1231
00:44:04,220 --> 00:44:06,500
I have all these things that I need to lay down

1232
00:44:06,500 --> 00:44:10,700
to craft things and fucking establish a plot,

1233
00:44:10,700 --> 00:44:12,500
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

1234
00:44:12,500 --> 00:44:17,340
Square, roof, things go in the corners.

1235
00:44:17,340 --> 00:44:18,780
That's exactly what I did.

1236
00:44:18,780 --> 00:44:20,980
That's exactly what I did.

1237
00:44:20,980 --> 00:44:23,660
Maybe a second floor that will be exactly the same

1238
00:44:23,660 --> 00:44:25,820
as the bottom floor, but with a bed.

1239
00:44:26,980 --> 00:44:27,820
I just don't have it.

1240
00:44:27,820 --> 00:44:28,660
Don't even do that.

1241
00:44:28,660 --> 00:44:30,300
I think stairs, that sounds complicated.

1242
00:44:30,300 --> 00:44:34,020
It's like when me and Connor were playing in Shrouded,

1243
00:44:34,020 --> 00:44:37,220
it was like, right, I'll go and get all the shit.

1244
00:44:37,220 --> 00:44:38,700
You crack on building.

1245
00:44:38,700 --> 00:44:39,540
And so he did.

1246
00:44:39,540 --> 00:44:40,380
Yeah.

1247
00:44:40,380 --> 00:44:41,460
And fucking there he is,

1248
00:44:41,460 --> 00:44:44,580
fucking doing all this weird, obscure shit.

1249
00:44:44,580 --> 00:44:47,700
But some, when you have a game

1250
00:44:47,700 --> 00:44:50,100
where you can create buildings like that,

1251
00:44:50,100 --> 00:44:53,580
which fucking millions of games have a building mechanic.

1252
00:44:53,580 --> 00:44:58,340
Some people create some crazy shit like buildings on Valheim.

1253
00:44:58,340 --> 00:45:02,540
But some people make some fucking mental shit on there.

1254
00:45:02,540 --> 00:45:06,020
Minecraft, I don't get where everyone gets

1255
00:45:06,020 --> 00:45:07,660
the creativity from it.

1256
00:45:07,660 --> 00:45:10,900
Fucking No Man's Sky, some of the buildings,

1257
00:45:10,900 --> 00:45:13,740
like the settlements and shit that you can go

1258
00:45:13,740 --> 00:45:15,380
and visit there that people have made.

1259
00:45:15,380 --> 00:45:16,660
It's just, it's incredible.

1260
00:45:16,660 --> 00:45:18,460
I'm very envious of people that could do that,

1261
00:45:18,460 --> 00:45:21,820
but at the same time, I think I got fucking no hope

1262
00:45:21,820 --> 00:45:22,660
in doing that.

1263
00:45:22,660 --> 00:45:24,900
There was one game that Connor was talking about.

1264
00:45:24,900 --> 00:45:26,380
I can't remember the name of it,

1265
00:45:26,380 --> 00:45:27,580
where it had a building mechanic

1266
00:45:27,580 --> 00:45:29,820
and I was like, fucking hell, of course it does.

1267
00:45:29,820 --> 00:45:34,820
But the style was you can unlock a house, right?

1268
00:45:35,860 --> 00:45:37,340
You put that house down.

1269
00:45:37,340 --> 00:45:38,740
You don't have to make the house.

1270
00:45:38,740 --> 00:45:42,620
You just put the house down and then there's a fucking,

1271
00:45:42,620 --> 00:45:43,820
there's a house for you.

1272
00:45:43,820 --> 00:45:46,980
Oh, look, here's a fucking, I don't know.

1273
00:45:46,980 --> 00:45:48,540
Here's a battle arena.

1274
00:45:48,540 --> 00:45:50,620
You may get to choose a different fucking color

1275
00:45:50,620 --> 00:45:52,340
and style of it, but you don't have to build

1276
00:45:52,340 --> 00:45:53,180
the arena itself.

1277
00:45:53,180 --> 00:45:54,620
You just have to find a square to plot it

1278
00:45:54,620 --> 00:45:56,620
into much like settlements in No Man's Sky.

1279
00:45:56,620 --> 00:45:57,900
Is he playing Mana Lords?

1280
00:45:57,900 --> 00:45:59,620
Is that what it is?

1281
00:45:59,620 --> 00:46:01,180
I don't think it was Mana Lords,

1282
00:46:01,180 --> 00:46:03,420
but he is playing Mana Lords.

1283
00:46:03,420 --> 00:46:04,540
Of course he is.

1284
00:46:04,540 --> 00:46:07,060
Everyone's fucking playing Mana Lords, isn't they?

1285
00:46:07,060 --> 00:46:07,940
Not me.

1286
00:46:07,940 --> 00:46:09,220
I'm playing Stardew Valley.

1287
00:46:09,220 --> 00:46:10,580
It's not my kind of game.

1288
00:46:10,580 --> 00:46:11,420
It's not my kind of game.

1289
00:46:11,420 --> 00:46:13,060
I know a lot of people in the Discord,

1290
00:46:13,060 --> 00:46:15,620
I'm fucking in the guild, are playing it

1291
00:46:15,620 --> 00:46:17,100
and are interested by it.

1292
00:46:17,100 --> 00:46:19,060
I haven't really done any looking into it

1293
00:46:19,060 --> 00:46:20,180
because I'm not bothered by it.

1294
00:46:20,180 --> 00:46:22,820
So I've got very little to say on Mana Lords,

1295
00:46:22,820 --> 00:46:26,300
just that the people that are playing it say that it's good.

1296
00:46:26,300 --> 00:46:28,820
I just fucking love it.

1297
00:46:28,820 --> 00:46:29,660
I love it.

1298
00:46:29,660 --> 00:46:31,540
I love Stardew Valley.

1299
00:46:31,540 --> 00:46:32,980
I love Hades.

1300
00:46:32,980 --> 00:46:34,220
I love all my games.

1301
00:46:34,220 --> 00:46:36,180
I feel like a child, you know, when they've like,

1302
00:46:36,180 --> 00:46:37,380
I love my games.

1303
00:46:37,380 --> 00:46:38,220
Just nerdy as fuck.

1304
00:46:38,220 --> 00:46:39,060
What fucking games are you?

1305
00:46:39,060 --> 00:46:40,300
That's just what I feel like.

1306
00:46:40,300 --> 00:46:43,020
I just, and all them games, we just said Valheim,

1307
00:46:43,020 --> 00:46:46,580
Fucking V-Rising, Mana Lords,

1308
00:46:46,580 --> 00:46:48,020
all playable on the Steam Deck.

1309
00:46:48,020 --> 00:46:49,940
I'm just like, yeah, I've accessed all these games

1310
00:46:49,940 --> 00:46:50,940
I never had before.

1311
00:46:50,940 --> 00:46:54,060
But now, Hades 2, I'd have been interested in that,

1312
00:46:54,060 --> 00:46:55,780
but just with the PlayStation, I couldn't play it.

1313
00:46:55,780 --> 00:46:56,620
Yeah.

1314
00:46:56,620 --> 00:46:57,460
Because there's no early access.

1315
00:46:57,460 --> 00:46:58,300
Yeah.

1316
00:46:58,300 --> 00:47:00,140
Now I can just go, yeah, I'll have a dip and dive in that.

1317
00:47:00,140 --> 00:47:00,980
I'll do that.

1318
00:47:00,980 --> 00:47:01,820
And I love it.

1319
00:47:01,820 --> 00:47:04,700
And it's inspiring me to just play more and more games.

1320
00:47:04,700 --> 00:47:06,780
And I feel like that was the main,

1321
00:47:07,620 --> 00:47:10,060
that was the main goal that Valve wanted

1322
00:47:10,060 --> 00:47:12,940
when they created the Steam Deck was

1323
00:47:12,940 --> 00:47:17,500
to get people to play those smaller games,

1324
00:47:17,500 --> 00:47:20,100
those games that you might not have heard of,

1325
00:47:20,100 --> 00:47:21,660
or like you say, don't have access to

1326
00:47:21,660 --> 00:47:23,780
because you're only on one console.

1327
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:26,260
I think for an indie developer,

1328
00:47:26,260 --> 00:47:29,020
something like the Steam Deck is a fucking,

1329
00:47:29,020 --> 00:47:32,020
is a gold mine because you can,

1330
00:47:33,860 --> 00:47:35,420
I don't know what it is about the Steam Deck,

1331
00:47:35,420 --> 00:47:37,300
but I would much rather play indie games

1332
00:47:37,300 --> 00:47:39,900
or smaller developed games on that

1333
00:47:39,900 --> 00:47:42,340
than the big heavy hitters.

1334
00:47:42,340 --> 00:47:43,780
Yeah, I don't want to play heavy hitters on there.

1335
00:47:43,780 --> 00:47:45,580
I wouldn't want to play something like God of War

1336
00:47:45,580 --> 00:47:46,980
or Ghost of Shimmer on there.

1337
00:47:46,980 --> 00:47:47,820
I just wouldn't want to.

1338
00:47:47,820 --> 00:47:48,660
Yeah.

1339
00:47:48,660 --> 00:47:51,340
You can, but I like to see that on the big screen

1340
00:47:51,340 --> 00:47:53,580
because it's artistically, that's the whole point.

1341
00:47:53,580 --> 00:47:56,740
Ghost of Shimmer is so artistically fucking prevalent,

1342
00:47:56,740 --> 00:48:00,260
but the little indie games like Hades and that,

1343
00:48:00,260 --> 00:48:01,620
they're perfect for that.

1344
00:48:01,620 --> 00:48:02,460
I would have loved-

1345
00:48:02,460 --> 00:48:03,300
And I love them games.

1346
00:48:03,300 --> 00:48:04,100
I would have loved to have played

1347
00:48:04,100 --> 00:48:07,260
Colt of the Lamb on Steam Deck

1348
00:48:07,260 --> 00:48:10,580
because I feel like it was the perfect sort of

1349
00:48:10,580 --> 00:48:11,900
setup for that.

1350
00:48:11,900 --> 00:48:12,740
You know what it is?

1351
00:48:12,740 --> 00:48:15,460
It's all the games that are easy to pick up and put down.

1352
00:48:15,460 --> 00:48:16,300
Yeah.

1353
00:48:16,300 --> 00:48:17,220
That are perfect for the Steam Deck,

1354
00:48:17,220 --> 00:48:19,340
whereas the ones we have to pay attention,

1355
00:48:19,340 --> 00:48:21,620
like God of War, because you're invested in the story

1356
00:48:21,620 --> 00:48:23,180
and you want to feel everything,

1357
00:48:23,180 --> 00:48:24,620
they're the ones you want to play on the big screen

1358
00:48:24,620 --> 00:48:26,060
with the headphones and all that.

1359
00:48:26,060 --> 00:48:28,460
But when it comes to just pick up and play like Hades

1360
00:48:28,460 --> 00:48:31,380
and Roguelikes and fucking Stardew Valley

1361
00:48:31,380 --> 00:48:33,740
being the most obvious one,

1362
00:48:33,740 --> 00:48:34,780
it's just a little farming game.

1363
00:48:34,780 --> 00:48:36,260
I do a day on that and then I turn it off

1364
00:48:36,260 --> 00:48:37,660
and play something else.

1365
00:48:37,660 --> 00:48:38,500
Perfect.

1366
00:48:38,500 --> 00:48:41,060
That is exactly what it's designed for, I think.

1367
00:48:41,060 --> 00:48:43,700
And it's taken up all my time.

1368
00:48:43,700 --> 00:48:45,020
I'm obsessed with it.

1369
00:48:45,020 --> 00:48:47,940
Literally, I haven't really played the PlayStation.

1370
00:48:47,940 --> 00:48:49,860
It's all since I've got this.

1371
00:48:49,860 --> 00:48:51,700
It's all I think about, care about.

1372
00:48:51,700 --> 00:48:53,860
I'm glad you like it.

1373
00:48:53,860 --> 00:48:55,420
I don't like it, I fucking love it.

1374
00:48:55,420 --> 00:48:58,220
I'm gonna get a Steam Deck tattoo, like a Valve symbol.

1375
00:48:59,220 --> 00:49:00,060
I love it.

1376
00:49:00,060 --> 00:49:01,300
They're good investments, man,

1377
00:49:02,780 --> 00:49:04,900
because they're just very unique.

1378
00:49:04,900 --> 00:49:09,900
They're a very weird console to have ownership of.

1379
00:49:09,900 --> 00:49:11,260
You see what they're doing now?

1380
00:49:11,260 --> 00:49:14,300
They're incorporating this thing I see the other day

1381
00:49:14,300 --> 00:49:18,140
where you can connect to your PlayStation

1382
00:49:18,140 --> 00:49:20,460
and access your PlayStation library

1383
00:49:20,460 --> 00:49:22,620
without your PlayStation being on.

1384
00:49:22,620 --> 00:49:23,460
So-

1385
00:49:23,460 --> 00:49:25,180
What, on Steam then?

1386
00:49:25,180 --> 00:49:26,220
Yeah.

1387
00:49:26,220 --> 00:49:29,380
So fuck PlayStation Portal, I guess.

1388
00:49:29,380 --> 00:49:30,220
What?

1389
00:49:30,220 --> 00:49:31,660
That's what I read.

1390
00:49:31,660 --> 00:49:32,660
It was all over Reddit.

1391
00:49:32,660 --> 00:49:35,540
Everyone was going, oh, lol, what have they done?

1392
00:49:36,460 --> 00:49:37,300
Lol.

1393
00:49:37,300 --> 00:49:40,300
Poor PlayStation Portal.

1394
00:49:41,460 --> 00:49:44,540
What, so you'd be able to essentially

1395
00:49:44,540 --> 00:49:46,900
cast your PlayStation-

1396
00:49:46,900 --> 00:49:47,780
To the Steam Deck.

1397
00:49:47,780 --> 00:49:51,140
I don't know about cast, but where was it?

1398
00:49:52,620 --> 00:49:54,900
It was literally announced like,

1399
00:49:54,900 --> 00:49:56,060
I'll say announced, I don't know,

1400
00:49:56,060 --> 00:49:57,940
if it was like an app or something.

1401
00:49:57,940 --> 00:49:58,780
Yeah.

1402
00:49:58,780 --> 00:50:01,580
But it was, yeah, it was definitely something

1403
00:50:01,580 --> 00:50:02,580
that made me lol.

1404
00:50:02,580 --> 00:50:07,580
PlayStation on Steam Deck.

1405
00:50:12,100 --> 00:50:12,940
Let's have a look.

1406
00:50:12,940 --> 00:50:15,700
Let's have a look, let's have a look.

1407
00:50:15,700 --> 00:50:18,580
That's 25th of January, that's not fucking-

1408
00:50:18,580 --> 00:50:20,940
Can't see anything, that was recent now.

1409
00:50:20,940 --> 00:50:22,340
That's nine months ago.

1410
00:50:25,300 --> 00:50:27,100
Yeah, I'm not seeing anything that's recent, over.

1411
00:50:27,100 --> 00:50:29,100
I'll find it, don't worry, don't worry.

1412
00:50:29,100 --> 00:50:29,940
I'll find it.

1413
00:50:31,940 --> 00:50:36,020
Have some dead air for the minute while we're all

1414
00:50:36,020 --> 00:50:38,180
furiously fucking flicking through Google

1415
00:50:38,180 --> 00:50:41,620
trying to find something that resembles what we're-

1416
00:50:42,820 --> 00:50:45,140
I will find it, it might not be now or today,

1417
00:50:45,140 --> 00:50:45,980
but I will find it.

1418
00:50:45,980 --> 00:50:49,140
I've got a PlayStation to Steam Deck streaming app,

1419
00:50:49,980 --> 00:50:51,620
Chiaki for Deck.

1420
00:50:51,620 --> 00:50:53,300
Yeah, that sounds like it, that is it.

1421
00:50:53,300 --> 00:50:55,020
Recently put up another small,

1422
00:50:55,020 --> 00:50:59,900
this was the 19th of March is when this was,

1423
00:50:59,900 --> 00:51:02,300
it says recently put up another small update

1424
00:51:02,300 --> 00:51:04,980
to add in a couple of new options that sound quite useful

1425
00:51:04,980 --> 00:51:08,380
for those of you streaming a PlayStation to your Steam Deck.

1426
00:51:08,380 --> 00:51:10,660
Here's what the new version is.

1427
00:51:10,660 --> 00:51:15,420
Adds create Steam shortcut option for Linux and Mac,

1428
00:51:15,420 --> 00:51:18,420
allow setting console pin for console in settings,

1429
00:51:18,420 --> 00:51:19,260
blah, blah, blah.

1430
00:51:19,260 --> 00:51:24,260
Yeah, Chiaki for Deck, let's fucking Google that then.

1431
00:51:27,300 --> 00:51:32,020
Chiaki for Deck, PlayStation button.

1432
00:51:33,540 --> 00:51:38,540
Chiaki for Deck is a free and open source PlayStation

1433
00:51:40,740 --> 00:51:43,900
remote play client, license under the GNU,

1434
00:51:43,900 --> 00:51:44,740
blah, blah, blah, blah.

1435
00:51:44,740 --> 00:51:46,500
This license enables anyone to share

1436
00:51:46,500 --> 00:51:49,300
and modify the source code, blah, blah, blah.

1437
00:51:50,580 --> 00:51:52,940
Chiaki for Deck aims to provide tips and tricks

1438
00:51:52,940 --> 00:51:57,180
on using blah, Chiaki with the Steam Deck in the blah, blah,

1439
00:51:57,180 --> 00:51:58,660
blah, I have, fucking hell,

1440
00:51:58,660 --> 00:52:00,900
do they wanna say their own name enough?

1441
00:52:00,900 --> 00:52:01,740
Sick as hell.

1442
00:52:04,180 --> 00:52:08,100
I know, I want to, I wanna know what it does.

1443
00:52:09,340 --> 00:52:10,180
You dicks.

1444
00:52:10,180 --> 00:52:11,540
It essentially does what I said,

1445
00:52:11,540 --> 00:52:14,380
but I don't know how it works, if you know what I mean.

1446
00:52:14,380 --> 00:52:16,340
That is exactly what I read.

1447
00:52:16,340 --> 00:52:19,940
That, I recognize what you're saying, that Chiaki thing.

1448
00:52:23,060 --> 00:52:25,700
I just wanted to find out fucking, what is it?

1449
00:52:25,700 --> 00:52:26,660
Here we go.

1450
00:52:26,660 --> 00:52:29,740
It's an open source client for PS4 slash PS5 remote play

1451
00:52:29,740 --> 00:52:32,820
that is accessible on Windows, Mac, Android, and Linux,

1452
00:52:32,820 --> 00:52:35,340
which makes it very compatible with the Steam Deck.

1453
00:52:35,340 --> 00:52:37,300
Playing on the same WiFi network

1454
00:52:37,300 --> 00:52:38,540
has always been very easy,

1455
00:52:38,540 --> 00:52:40,580
but if you wanted to play while away from your home,

1456
00:52:40,580 --> 00:52:45,580
it was a little bit harder, everything's just talking about

1457
00:52:48,580 --> 00:52:53,580
the setup of it, but by the looks of it, yeah,

1458
00:52:54,540 --> 00:52:57,500
it just allows you to stream your,

1459
00:53:00,340 --> 00:53:05,300
stream your PlayStation to your Steam Deck,

1460
00:53:06,340 --> 00:53:08,540
which that in itself is pretty fucking.

1461
00:53:08,540 --> 00:53:12,100
But it also said that you didn't need your PlayStation

1462
00:53:12,100 --> 00:53:14,700
to be on, which I just thought was madness.

1463
00:53:14,700 --> 00:53:15,540
Do you not?

1464
00:53:15,540 --> 00:53:18,340
That's what it said, but I can't find it,

1465
00:53:18,340 --> 00:53:21,500
but I will find it, and I will send it to you.

1466
00:53:21,500 --> 00:53:22,380
Don't you worry.

1467
00:53:24,060 --> 00:53:26,660
I think we should do some talking.

1468
00:53:26,660 --> 00:53:28,460
Yeah, no, it's terrible, I apologize,

1469
00:53:28,460 --> 00:53:30,380
the last 10 minutes of this podcast

1470
00:53:30,380 --> 00:53:31,620
would have been fucking wank,

1471
00:53:31,620 --> 00:53:34,700
because we're just trying to figure out fucking,

1472
00:53:34,700 --> 00:53:36,900
you can use track pads like the DualSense controller,

1473
00:53:36,900 --> 00:53:38,940
I mapped my left one for clicking and my right one

1474
00:53:38,940 --> 00:53:41,860
for swiping, great for games like Ghost of Tsushima.

1475
00:53:44,660 --> 00:53:45,900
I might have not worked as well when the dev

1476
00:53:45,900 --> 00:53:48,780
was gonna be pumping in the other project, blah, blah, blah.

1477
00:53:48,780 --> 00:53:50,020
So yeah, you can,

1478
00:53:53,740 --> 00:53:58,020
which is, yeah, yeah, if you can fucking manage

1479
00:53:58,020 --> 00:54:00,660
to do that shit where you can just stream your PlayStation.

1480
00:54:00,660 --> 00:54:03,220
I don't know how you would do it if it switched off.

1481
00:54:04,340 --> 00:54:05,660
I don't understand that.

1482
00:54:05,660 --> 00:54:07,380
We'll have to do some more research into it

1483
00:54:07,380 --> 00:54:09,420
and figure it out and then maybe speak about it

1484
00:54:09,420 --> 00:54:11,700
at a different time, but either way,

1485
00:54:12,980 --> 00:54:15,620
the Steam Deck's a cool, powerful thing,

1486
00:54:15,620 --> 00:54:17,420
I'm glad you have it, I'm glad you love it.

1487
00:54:17,420 --> 00:54:18,260
I love it.

1488
00:54:18,260 --> 00:54:19,660
Anyone else that's deliberating as to whether

1489
00:54:19,660 --> 00:54:22,900
they should get one or not, I would highly recommend

1490
00:54:22,900 --> 00:54:27,660
that you get a Steam Deck just because they're incredible.

1491
00:54:27,660 --> 00:54:32,060
I feel like if I didn't have a console,

1492
00:54:32,060 --> 00:54:34,540
I'd be more unhappy with this, genuinely,

1493
00:54:34,540 --> 00:54:37,940
because I'd say once I dock this, whatever.

1494
00:54:37,940 --> 00:54:42,100
I feel like that's how people feel with the Switch

1495
00:54:42,100 --> 00:54:45,180
or felt with the Switch when it first come out.

1496
00:54:45,180 --> 00:54:48,700
It's like the capability of this is crazy,

1497
00:54:48,700 --> 00:54:51,900
and then obviously what Nintendo then did was nothing.

1498
00:54:52,900 --> 00:54:56,580
The trouble is with Nintendo is they've got it all perfect.

1499
00:54:56,580 --> 00:54:59,060
They just don't have the library of games.

1500
00:54:59,060 --> 00:55:01,900
Like as I said this before, a lot of Nintendo,

1501
00:55:01,900 --> 00:55:04,820
if you're not interested in Zelda, Pokemon or Mario,

1502
00:55:04,820 --> 00:55:06,180
well then fuck you, I guess,

1503
00:55:06,180 --> 00:55:07,820
because no one wants to play the Witcher

1504
00:55:07,820 --> 00:55:09,340
on the Nintendo Switch.

1505
00:55:09,340 --> 00:55:11,100
They're just not optimized for it.

1506
00:55:11,100 --> 00:55:14,740
I'm not saying it's bad, but it's not gonna be very fun.

1507
00:55:14,740 --> 00:55:16,300
I'd like to see the capability of it

1508
00:55:16,300 --> 00:55:18,780
if it was harboring the same sort of hardware

1509
00:55:18,780 --> 00:55:20,660
that the likes of the Steam Deck have

1510
00:55:20,660 --> 00:55:23,660
in terms of capability, because the software

1511
00:55:25,980 --> 00:55:30,980
in the Nintendo Switch now is so incredibly outdated,

1512
00:55:30,980 --> 00:55:35,140
it can't run anything that is fucking new.

1513
00:55:35,140 --> 00:55:37,620
Look at what happens with Hogwarts Legacy.

1514
00:55:37,620 --> 00:55:40,260
That shit took fucking, what was that,

1515
00:55:40,260 --> 00:55:43,020
like seven, eight months after its initial release

1516
00:55:43,020 --> 00:55:44,860
for it to come onto fucking Switch,

1517
00:55:44,860 --> 00:55:46,640
and it looked dog shit.

1518
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,260
They took out so much fucking shit

1519
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:50,540
to be able to run it on that.

1520
00:55:50,540 --> 00:55:54,820
And you think if they come out with a Switch 2

1521
00:55:54,820 --> 00:55:56,820
that was on par with what we've got today

1522
00:55:56,820 --> 00:55:58,380
in terms of handheld devices,

1523
00:55:58,380 --> 00:56:01,900
I would be interested to see what those libraries look like

1524
00:56:01,900 --> 00:56:04,500
and what is involved, because obviously Nintendo

1525
00:56:04,500 --> 00:56:09,020
are, were, or are still trying to delve into that,

1526
00:56:09,020 --> 00:56:12,300
getting more variety of games on the Switch.

1527
00:56:12,300 --> 00:56:14,420
There is far more than there used to be,

1528
00:56:14,420 --> 00:56:15,500
but I agree with you.

1529
00:56:15,500 --> 00:56:18,900
They, if you're gonna play the Witcher,

1530
00:56:18,900 --> 00:56:21,560
or you're gonna play fucking, I don't know,

1531
00:56:22,780 --> 00:56:24,420
I know it's not on them, but like God of War,

1532
00:56:24,420 --> 00:56:27,940
Spider-Man, or those bigger games, Shadow of War,

1533
00:56:27,940 --> 00:56:31,140
and all that shit, you're not gonna play it on Switch.

1534
00:56:31,140 --> 00:56:31,980
You're not gonna.

1535
00:56:31,980 --> 00:56:33,660
Unless it's your only option.

1536
00:56:33,660 --> 00:56:35,060
And that's what I mean.

1537
00:56:35,060 --> 00:56:36,500
If my only option was the Steam Deck,

1538
00:56:36,500 --> 00:56:38,140
I would still be satisfied.

1539
00:56:38,140 --> 00:56:41,920
Genuinely, I think it is absolutely fantastic.

1540
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,940
And what is really good for Valve

1541
00:56:46,060 --> 00:56:48,060
is that when the Steam Deck 2 comes out,

1542
00:56:48,060 --> 00:56:49,980
I'll be buying it, because I'm in now.

1543
00:56:49,980 --> 00:56:51,260
I'm in their ecosystem.

1544
00:56:51,260 --> 00:56:52,540
I will never buy another Xbox,

1545
00:56:52,540 --> 00:56:54,380
because it's gone dead for me,

1546
00:56:54,380 --> 00:56:57,620
unless Elder Scrolls comes out and I can't get that.

1547
00:56:57,620 --> 00:57:00,020
But that's another boat, isn't it?

1548
00:57:00,020 --> 00:57:02,900
But yeah, I'll be buying a Steam Deck 2.

1549
00:57:02,900 --> 00:57:05,140
Probably not until my Steam Deck

1550
00:57:05,140 --> 00:57:07,620
decides to get a little bit broken,

1551
00:57:07,620 --> 00:57:08,940
or just an excuse to be like,

1552
00:57:08,940 --> 00:57:10,780
ah, I don't really fancy it no more.

1553
00:57:10,780 --> 00:57:15,100
But yeah, I think it's an amazing bit of kit.

1554
00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:16,900
And I think it's not underrated,

1555
00:57:16,900 --> 00:57:18,500
because I know everyone raves about them,

1556
00:57:18,500 --> 00:57:22,100
but people should be screaming about these things.

1557
00:57:22,100 --> 00:57:26,180
I feel like the Steam Deck in the Steam Deck community

1558
00:57:26,180 --> 00:57:29,940
is very, very highly renowned,

1559
00:57:29,940 --> 00:57:32,080
and gets the praise that it deserves.

1560
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,860
And it's also, you're throwing that type of thing

1561
00:57:34,860 --> 00:57:38,100
into a community that is fucking filled with nerds.

1562
00:57:38,100 --> 00:57:39,220
Not just that, right?

1563
00:57:39,220 --> 00:57:41,140
But have this right as well.

1564
00:57:41,140 --> 00:57:42,580
You say you've got a Steam Deck

1565
00:57:42,580 --> 00:57:44,700
and you've got a Nintendo Switch,

1566
00:57:44,700 --> 00:57:46,220
and you wanna play The Witcher 3.

1567
00:57:46,220 --> 00:57:47,180
Yeah.

1568
00:57:47,180 --> 00:57:48,020
Guess what?

1569
00:57:48,020 --> 00:57:51,340
You'll get The Witcher 3 on Steam for like four quid.

1570
00:57:51,340 --> 00:57:53,180
The Nintendo Store will be 50 quid.

1571
00:57:53,180 --> 00:57:54,940
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

1572
00:57:54,940 --> 00:57:56,620
That is scandalous.

1573
00:57:56,620 --> 00:57:58,700
Because fucking Steam is for the people.

1574
00:57:58,700 --> 00:57:59,540
That's what I mean.

1575
00:57:59,540 --> 00:58:01,060
And this is what I was saying.

1576
00:58:02,380 --> 00:58:04,620
Because I followed Steam Deck on Reddit and stuff like that.

1577
00:58:04,620 --> 00:58:06,140
It's always popping up now.

1578
00:58:06,140 --> 00:58:11,140
People were saying, Steam Deck was a month out of warranty,

1579
00:58:11,180 --> 00:58:12,020
and he thought he'd try it.

1580
00:58:12,020 --> 00:58:15,100
He was like, they fucking, they sent him a new one.

1581
00:58:15,100 --> 00:58:17,340
They sent him a new one because of this thing.

1582
00:58:17,340 --> 00:58:20,140
And then there's people with the ASOS ROG thing.

1583
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,340
They sent theirs off.

1584
00:58:21,340 --> 00:58:22,300
Get fuck all back.

1585
00:58:22,300 --> 00:58:24,020
They broke it.

1586
00:58:24,020 --> 00:58:26,340
They sent it in for something minor.

1587
00:58:26,340 --> 00:58:28,740
I can't remember what it was, but something minor

1588
00:58:28,740 --> 00:58:30,180
that they just wanted fixed because it was still

1589
00:58:30,180 --> 00:58:31,140
in the warranty.

1590
00:58:31,140 --> 00:58:33,740
They then said they're not going to fix it

1591
00:58:33,740 --> 00:58:36,820
because there's something else wrong with it.

1592
00:58:36,820 --> 00:58:41,460
And if you don't fix this, pay to have this fixed,

1593
00:58:41,460 --> 00:58:42,820
then we will...

1594
00:58:42,820 --> 00:58:43,660
We won't touch the other thing.

1595
00:58:43,660 --> 00:58:45,740
No, it will come back, but it will be dismantled

1596
00:58:45,740 --> 00:58:48,220
and you'll have to put it back together yourself.

1597
00:58:48,220 --> 00:58:50,060
So you're keeping my console hostage.

1598
00:58:50,060 --> 00:58:50,900
Yeah, I don't get it back then.

1599
00:58:50,900 --> 00:58:52,860
What the fuck, and then there was just floods

1600
00:58:52,860 --> 00:58:54,940
of people saying, yeah, they are terrible.

1601
00:58:54,940 --> 00:58:59,140
But yeah, Steam, I'll buy this game knowing

1602
00:58:59,140 --> 00:59:00,980
if I don't like it, I can just refund it.

1603
00:59:00,980 --> 00:59:01,940
No questions asked.

1604
00:59:01,940 --> 00:59:02,780
They are amazing.

1605
00:59:02,780 --> 00:59:05,300
I think it's because the platform that Steam is,

1606
00:59:05,300 --> 00:59:09,020
I think they understand the demographic

1607
00:59:09,020 --> 00:59:11,020
in the community that they have hold of.

1608
00:59:11,020 --> 00:59:14,380
They are for the people as much as the people are for Steam.

1609
00:59:14,380 --> 00:59:15,220
They're amazing.

1610
00:59:15,220 --> 00:59:20,220
And I feel like there's an understanding

1611
00:59:20,220 --> 00:59:23,620
that if you piss off your customer base,

1612
00:59:23,620 --> 00:59:25,860
they will fucking drag you down

1613
00:59:25,860 --> 00:59:28,540
because you review bombing and shit like that.

1614
00:59:28,540 --> 00:59:33,540
Like the people that use Steam are so incredibly good

1615
00:59:34,140 --> 00:59:38,020
for the games that are on Steam and for the platform itself.

1616
00:59:38,020 --> 00:59:40,260
But at the same time, if you piss them off,

1617
00:59:40,260 --> 00:59:44,100
they culminate as fucking one hive mind

1618
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:46,100
and just drag shit through the mud

1619
00:59:46,100 --> 00:59:47,380
because that's what they can do.

1620
00:59:47,380 --> 00:59:49,900
It's one of the very few places

1621
00:59:49,900 --> 00:59:54,460
where the community gets listened to quite heavily

1622
00:59:54,460 --> 00:59:56,460
because they're so influential.

1623
00:59:56,460 --> 00:59:59,740
But it's a symbiotic relationship

1624
00:59:59,740 --> 01:00:01,820
because things like with the Steam Deck,

1625
01:00:01,820 --> 01:00:04,740
you have a few people that will just fucking slag

1626
01:00:04,740 --> 01:00:06,500
the Steam Deck off for the sake of slagging it off,

1627
01:00:06,500 --> 01:00:09,620
but you also have a massive, massive group of people

1628
01:00:09,620 --> 01:00:12,260
to pull from that are giving constant feedback

1629
01:00:12,260 --> 01:00:13,980
and saying what could be helped

1630
01:00:13,980 --> 01:00:16,060
and figuring out new things and shit like that.

1631
01:00:16,060 --> 01:00:19,660
It's basically being developed by the people

1632
01:00:19,660 --> 01:00:23,340
that fucking bought it because they're just trying.

1633
01:00:23,340 --> 01:00:24,740
And that's what Valve wanted.

1634
01:00:24,740 --> 01:00:29,740
They wanted people to push the Steam Deck to its limits

1635
01:00:29,820 --> 01:00:32,780
and do the weird and fucking quirky things

1636
01:00:32,780 --> 01:00:36,500
and figure out what exactly you can do with this thing

1637
01:00:36,500 --> 01:00:39,100
alongside the people that actually made it.

1638
01:00:39,100 --> 01:00:40,380
It's very good, it's very good.

1639
01:00:40,380 --> 01:00:42,540
And Steam has a very good returns policy

1640
01:00:42,540 --> 01:00:43,380
and things like that.

1641
01:00:43,380 --> 01:00:48,140
They're just, yeah, they're top tier

1642
01:00:48,140 --> 01:00:49,540
when it comes to that kind of shit.

1643
01:00:49,540 --> 01:00:50,380
They're god tier.

1644
01:00:50,380 --> 01:00:52,060
They're the pinnacle of gaming to me.

1645
01:00:52,060 --> 01:00:53,820
I think all this stuff I've read,

1646
01:00:53,820 --> 01:00:57,100
I'm just like, you would never get that from Sony.

1647
01:00:57,100 --> 01:00:59,540
You would never get that from Microsoft.

1648
01:00:59,540 --> 01:01:03,260
And even the simplest thing,

1649
01:01:03,260 --> 01:01:05,580
I've bought this game and it's shit.

1650
01:01:05,580 --> 01:01:07,340
And I don't want this game.

1651
01:01:07,340 --> 01:01:08,180
Have your money back then.

1652
01:01:08,180 --> 01:01:10,700
That's fucking amazing.

1653
01:01:10,700 --> 01:01:13,700
You've had two hours or whatever it is to try it.

1654
01:01:13,700 --> 01:01:15,740
You should know if it's right for you.

1655
01:01:15,740 --> 01:01:18,100
And if you don't, then you don't like this product,

1656
01:01:18,100 --> 01:01:19,500
then have your money back.

1657
01:01:19,500 --> 01:01:20,820
That's how it should be.

1658
01:01:20,820 --> 01:01:21,660
Yes, exactly.

1659
01:01:21,660 --> 01:01:22,820
But you won't get that nowhere else.

1660
01:01:22,820 --> 01:01:23,660
No.

1661
01:01:23,660 --> 01:01:25,180
And that should be standard, but it's not.

1662
01:01:25,180 --> 01:01:27,340
And the fact that they are doing that,

1663
01:01:27,340 --> 01:01:29,380
that should get more fucking praise.

1664
01:01:29,380 --> 01:01:30,860
And that's why they're so popular

1665
01:01:30,860 --> 01:01:34,140
when it comes to your PC gamer,

1666
01:01:34,140 --> 01:01:36,300
when it comes to somewhere

1667
01:01:36,300 --> 01:01:38,380
where all your games are located.

1668
01:01:38,380 --> 01:01:40,140
Steam is usually the place where everyone

1669
01:01:40,140 --> 01:01:41,740
fucking puts all of their stuff.

1670
01:01:41,740 --> 01:01:44,740
It's a very difficult, they have the monopoly.

1671
01:01:44,740 --> 01:01:47,100
This is the sort of post I hear all the time.

1672
01:01:47,100 --> 01:01:49,860
And I'm always reading it with a smile on my face.

1673
01:01:49,860 --> 01:01:53,660
Bought a ROG Ally Z1 Extreme.

1674
01:01:53,660 --> 01:01:56,820
Took me three days to return it and order a Steam Deck.

1675
01:01:56,820 --> 01:01:58,180
I figured the higher refresh rate,

1676
01:01:58,180 --> 01:02:00,140
higher definition display and overall performance

1677
01:02:00,140 --> 01:02:02,060
would make me fall in love with this device.

1678
01:02:02,060 --> 01:02:03,980
But God damn, Windows 11 on handheld

1679
01:02:03,980 --> 01:02:06,500
is one of the worst user interfaces I've ever used.

1680
01:02:06,500 --> 01:02:08,540
The device seems to have zero personality.

1681
01:02:08,540 --> 01:02:12,060
It's a bland Windows 11 PC strapped into a small shell.

1682
01:02:12,060 --> 01:02:13,140
I tried so hard to love it

1683
01:02:13,140 --> 01:02:14,340
because of how much I spent on it,

1684
01:02:14,340 --> 01:02:16,380
1200 Australian dollars.

1685
01:02:16,380 --> 01:02:17,580
Fucking hell.

1686
01:02:17,580 --> 01:02:18,740
But I grew to quickly hate it

1687
01:02:18,740 --> 01:02:21,300
and found myself getting frustrated even looking at it.

1688
01:02:21,300 --> 01:02:22,980
I cracked yesterday and just returned it

1689
01:02:22,980 --> 01:02:24,500
for anyone in Australia.

1690
01:02:24,500 --> 01:02:26,820
I know JB Hi-Fi can be weird about returns,

1691
01:02:26,820 --> 01:02:28,700
but if you bring up the SD card issue

1692
01:02:28,700 --> 01:02:30,140
and declare you wouldn't have purchased it

1693
01:02:30,140 --> 01:02:32,020
if you had known consumer law requires

1694
01:02:32,020 --> 01:02:34,260
they provide you with a refund upon request.

1695
01:02:34,260 --> 01:02:37,660
And immediately I ordered a 512 gig Steam Deck OLED

1696
01:02:37,660 --> 01:02:38,580
as soon as I got home.

1697
01:02:38,580 --> 01:02:39,580
Very excited for it to arrive.

1698
01:02:39,580 --> 01:02:40,420
Is there any information?

1699
01:02:40,420 --> 01:02:41,260
No, straight out of the box.

1700
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:42,780
And it's just filled with things like that.

1701
01:02:42,780 --> 01:02:44,420
Because that's another thing, before I bought it,

1702
01:02:44,420 --> 01:02:46,060
I was so scared because I was like,

1703
01:02:46,060 --> 01:02:48,140
but there's these other two handhelds on the market.

1704
01:02:48,140 --> 01:02:49,060
And what is the best?

1705
01:02:49,060 --> 01:02:51,980
Because that's a big sum of money to buy the wrong thing.

1706
01:02:51,980 --> 01:02:52,820
I did the same.

1707
01:02:52,820 --> 01:02:54,180
I did the same research and everything.

1708
01:02:54,180 --> 01:02:56,140
I nearly got the wrong.

1709
01:02:56,140 --> 01:02:59,060
But God damn am I glad I bought what I bought.

1710
01:02:59,060 --> 01:03:02,820
I just think like, just for user interface friendly,

1711
01:03:02,820 --> 01:03:05,380
literally, as soon as I turn it on, my library's there.

1712
01:03:05,380 --> 01:03:07,660
One button, I go to the store.

1713
01:03:07,660 --> 01:03:08,940
The- Amazing.

1714
01:03:08,940 --> 01:03:13,940
The Steam Deck is like a family dog

1715
01:03:13,940 --> 01:03:16,340
where you could have, you could buy

1716
01:03:16,340 --> 01:03:17,980
the best pedigree dog ever.

1717
01:03:17,980 --> 01:03:19,580
That's good at one specific thing.

1718
01:03:19,580 --> 01:03:23,340
One that's built for agility or fucking sheep herding dog.

1719
01:03:23,340 --> 01:03:25,020
Like specialize for something.

1720
01:03:26,020 --> 01:03:29,980
But your family dog is perfect.

1721
01:03:29,980 --> 01:03:32,420
It might not be the fucking fastest dog in the world.

1722
01:03:32,420 --> 01:03:34,700
It might not be the fucking biggest protector in the world.

1723
01:03:34,700 --> 01:03:36,260
But that is the thing that you love

1724
01:03:36,260 --> 01:03:38,340
because it's an all rounder.

1725
01:03:38,340 --> 01:03:41,660
And there's something special about it because it's yours.

1726
01:03:41,660 --> 01:03:46,340
And I feel like the Steam Deck within the handheld space,

1727
01:03:46,340 --> 01:03:48,420
other than the Switch, which I think is a separate entity

1728
01:03:48,420 --> 01:03:52,060
in itself, but on the PC handheld space,

1729
01:03:52,060 --> 01:03:56,380
the Steam Deck is just that culmination of everything.

1730
01:03:56,380 --> 01:03:58,740
You know what they're with the all rounder.

1731
01:03:58,740 --> 01:03:59,940
It is the all rounder.

1732
01:03:59,940 --> 01:04:01,700
The Rog might have better performance

1733
01:04:01,700 --> 01:04:05,180
than the fucking, the other one might have better fucking

1734
01:04:05,180 --> 01:04:09,220
visuals or whatever, but the Steam Deck does everything

1735
01:04:09,220 --> 01:04:10,420
good enough.

1736
01:04:10,420 --> 01:04:12,620
And whereas the others will fall massively flat

1737
01:04:12,620 --> 01:04:13,700
on other things.

1738
01:04:13,700 --> 01:04:18,260
And I think, and the common denominator I see mostly

1739
01:04:18,260 --> 01:04:22,060
about the Steam Deck is Steam Deck has the staying power

1740
01:04:22,060 --> 01:04:23,220
as opposed to the others.

1741
01:04:23,220 --> 01:04:26,060
Steam Deck will still be here in 10, 20, 30 years.

1742
01:04:26,060 --> 01:04:27,940
Whereas these might not be.

1743
01:04:27,940 --> 01:04:30,060
They probably will, but there's a chance they might not be.

1744
01:04:30,060 --> 01:04:33,100
Whereas Steam is already ingrained in gaming

1745
01:04:33,100 --> 01:04:35,940
in such a way that whatever it is that,

1746
01:04:35,940 --> 01:04:40,420
so for example, if I don't fucking, if I don't have my Steam

1747
01:04:40,420 --> 01:04:42,140
Deck anymore and Steam goes, we're not making any more

1748
01:04:42,140 --> 01:04:45,460
Steam Decks, well I'll go on Steam on the computer then

1749
01:04:45,460 --> 01:04:46,460
and there's all my games still.

1750
01:04:46,460 --> 01:04:47,300
Yeah, yeah, they're all just there.

1751
01:04:47,300 --> 01:04:47,860
Still there.

1752
01:04:47,860 --> 01:04:48,740
The library's all fucking connected.

1753
01:04:48,740 --> 01:04:52,060
I can go onto my computer now and play all of my Steam games

1754
01:04:52,060 --> 01:04:52,900
on the laptop.

1755
01:04:52,900 --> 01:04:53,340
Yep.

1756
01:04:53,340 --> 01:04:56,340
So they're there, you know, all right, they're digital,

1757
01:04:56,340 --> 01:04:57,060
but it's Steam.

1758
01:04:57,060 --> 01:04:59,500
Come on, fucking shower some Steam love, man.

1759
01:04:59,500 --> 01:05:00,220
I love it.

1760
01:05:00,220 --> 01:05:01,140
Steam is the goat.

1761
01:05:01,140 --> 01:05:03,820
Yeah, in the digital space with PC,

1762
01:05:03,820 --> 01:05:06,300
it's far easier than it is on the PlayStation

1763
01:05:06,300 --> 01:05:11,580
and everything like that because the external hard drives

1764
01:05:11,580 --> 01:05:13,820
and shit like that are far more easy and cheaper to buy

1765
01:05:13,820 --> 01:05:16,220
for a PC than they are for the likes of PlayStation

1766
01:05:16,220 --> 01:05:17,380
and shit like that.

1767
01:05:17,380 --> 01:05:22,260
The fact that everything's digital on PCs now

1768
01:05:22,260 --> 01:05:25,860
isn't nowhere near as much as an issue as it is potentially

1769
01:05:25,860 --> 01:05:28,180
for a PlayStation.

1770
01:05:28,180 --> 01:05:30,380
Unless you're playing games like fucking Call of Duty

1771
01:05:30,380 --> 01:05:33,100
and shit like that where they are still very hefty,

1772
01:05:33,100 --> 01:05:36,980
like memory-wise on a fucking PC.

1773
01:05:36,980 --> 01:05:40,100
It's not as crazy.

1774
01:05:40,100 --> 01:05:43,020
They also send you out a fucking amazing case for it.

1775
01:05:43,020 --> 01:05:43,860
It's very cool, isn't it?

1776
01:05:43,860 --> 01:05:44,500
It's a good case.

1777
01:05:44,500 --> 01:05:46,660
It's probably one of the best cases you could buy.

1778
01:05:46,660 --> 01:05:48,020
I've looked at other ones, and yeah, you

1779
01:05:48,020 --> 01:05:49,460
can get all these different types,

1780
01:05:49,460 --> 01:05:51,380
but it's got perfect amount of things

1781
01:05:51,380 --> 01:05:53,940
so your joysticks can fit in there.

1782
01:05:53,940 --> 01:05:56,060
It's massively padded.

1783
01:05:56,060 --> 01:05:58,420
If you tread on it, you're not going to damage the Steam Deck.

1784
01:05:58,420 --> 01:06:00,460
It's like perfect shell.

1785
01:06:00,460 --> 01:06:01,460
They don't have to do that.

1786
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:04,380
They could have gone out for an extra 40 quid or whatever it

1787
01:06:04,380 --> 01:06:05,500
is, but they don't.

1788
01:06:05,500 --> 01:06:06,460
We want you to have your Steam Deck.

1789
01:06:06,460 --> 01:06:07,820
We want it to be protected.

1790
01:06:07,820 --> 01:06:09,540
And I know that they had some complaints

1791
01:06:09,540 --> 01:06:12,020
with the original Steam Deck, but on the OLED,

1792
01:06:12,020 --> 01:06:12,580
no complaints.

1793
01:06:12,580 --> 01:06:16,260
The fucking cable is like 400 meters long to charge it.

1794
01:06:16,260 --> 01:06:17,300
No, don't get me wrong.

1795
01:06:17,300 --> 01:06:18,580
It doesn't need to be that long, but I'm

1796
01:06:18,580 --> 01:06:19,460
glad they have done that.

1797
01:06:19,460 --> 01:06:20,820
That's the only gripe that I would,

1798
01:06:20,820 --> 01:06:22,660
main gripe I would have about my Steam Deck

1799
01:06:22,660 --> 01:06:24,580
is the cable for it is fucking tiny.

1800
01:06:24,580 --> 01:06:29,660
However, I'm almost certain that you can just buy and longer

1801
01:06:29,660 --> 01:06:30,780
cable.

1802
01:06:30,780 --> 01:06:32,900
I can't see why there'd be anything stopping me

1803
01:06:32,900 --> 01:06:36,300
from buying the same charger that you have for your OLED

1804
01:06:36,300 --> 01:06:38,220
as I can get for mine.

1805
01:06:38,220 --> 01:06:41,460
It just has to be more powerful, as powerful.

1806
01:06:41,460 --> 01:06:45,020
But like I say, these things that they've just given out

1807
01:06:45,020 --> 01:06:48,500
for free with it at a reasonable price, I'd say,

1808
01:06:48,500 --> 01:06:50,780
because what you're getting is not a Game Boy.

1809
01:06:50,780 --> 01:06:55,980
You're getting a computer in a fucking, in a shell.

1810
01:06:55,980 --> 01:06:56,940
This carry.

1811
01:06:56,940 --> 01:07:01,620
I can't wait to go and do some work where we go and do work,

1812
01:07:01,620 --> 01:07:02,620
but we don't do work.

1813
01:07:02,620 --> 01:07:04,940
We just have to sit there and hope nothing happens.

1814
01:07:04,940 --> 01:07:05,820
Nothing happens.

1815
01:07:05,820 --> 01:07:08,340
I can't wait to take that and just sit on it all day.

1816
01:07:08,340 --> 01:07:09,340
It's just perfect.

1817
01:07:09,340 --> 01:07:12,140
Or when I go to Ireland, I can just take that and just chill

1818
01:07:12,140 --> 01:07:13,420
in the evenings, just play that.

1819
01:07:13,420 --> 01:07:17,460
It's just like, wow, I've got all the best games I could have.

1820
01:07:17,460 --> 01:07:19,420
And I can sit anywhere in the world and play them.

1821
01:07:19,420 --> 01:07:20,980
And I fuck, honestly.

1822
01:07:20,980 --> 01:07:21,980
I'm so gassed.

1823
01:07:21,980 --> 01:07:24,220
I'm gassing it up too much, but I genuinely

1824
01:07:24,220 --> 01:07:29,180
believe that this is the best value for gaming equipment

1825
01:07:29,180 --> 01:07:32,540
you can get, not only for the hardware you get,

1826
01:07:32,540 --> 01:07:33,820
for its usability.

1827
01:07:33,820 --> 01:07:34,620
Hold on, sorry.

1828
01:07:34,620 --> 01:07:36,820
I'm very, very, very, very sorry.

1829
01:07:36,820 --> 01:07:37,300
Sorry.

1830
01:07:37,300 --> 01:07:39,380
I know you're getting this.

1831
01:07:39,380 --> 01:07:41,860
Sorry, I killed the flow because I'm fucking trying to buy a house

1832
01:07:41,860 --> 01:07:43,380
at the moment and blah, blah, blah, blah.

1833
01:07:43,380 --> 01:07:43,940
Carry on.

1834
01:07:43,940 --> 01:07:45,020
I apologize.

1835
01:07:45,020 --> 01:07:46,180
I genuinely can't.

1836
01:07:46,180 --> 01:07:52,460
All I was saying is I think that I can't remember exactly.

1837
01:07:52,460 --> 01:07:55,260
But I believe I was saying that I think Steam Deck is probably

1838
01:07:55,260 --> 01:07:57,540
one of the best investments in gaming,

1839
01:07:57,540 --> 01:08:01,380
if you were to pick one thing right now solely

1840
01:08:01,380 --> 01:08:05,180
for the future-proofness of all the stuff you get.

1841
01:08:05,180 --> 01:08:09,980
The price is not terrible in comparison to everything

1842
01:08:09,980 --> 01:08:11,380
that you get.

1843
01:08:11,380 --> 01:08:15,140
And the plethora of games that are available

1844
01:08:15,140 --> 01:08:16,660
and the prices you can get them at.

1845
01:08:16,660 --> 01:08:17,300
It's crazy.

1846
01:08:17,300 --> 01:08:18,700
If you were just to buy something,

1847
01:08:18,700 --> 01:08:20,300
you'd get so much value for your money.

1848
01:08:20,300 --> 01:08:24,100
Because a lot of the games, I've wishlisted so many games

1849
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:26,020
that I've got slight interest in.

1850
01:08:26,020 --> 01:08:28,620
And as soon as they come up, sometimes I get an email

1851
01:08:28,620 --> 01:08:30,460
or whatever and it just says, oh, yeah, this thing.

1852
01:08:30,460 --> 01:08:31,500
You go on it, it's like three quid.

1853
01:08:31,500 --> 01:08:32,620
I'm like, I'll just buy it.

1854
01:08:32,620 --> 01:08:34,660
But I haven't downloaded most of them.

1855
01:08:34,660 --> 01:08:36,780
But I've got them for when I want to.

1856
01:08:36,780 --> 01:08:39,300
And I think that I've never really wishlisted games

1857
01:08:39,300 --> 01:08:40,180
on any console.

1858
01:08:40,180 --> 01:08:44,260
But because that is so preferable with all the fucking,

1859
01:08:44,260 --> 01:08:46,460
with all the deals and how often they happen,

1860
01:08:46,460 --> 01:08:48,580
I feel like, yeah, just let me know when they're three quid

1861
01:08:48,580 --> 01:08:49,180
and I'll buy them.

1862
01:08:49,180 --> 01:08:50,940
And the review side of things as well,

1863
01:08:50,940 --> 01:08:53,100
where you're looking at a game and you're humming

1864
01:08:53,100 --> 01:08:54,460
and hiring about it.

1865
01:08:54,460 --> 01:08:57,460
Straight fucking scroll down and there's the reviews.

1866
01:08:57,460 --> 01:08:59,780
And it will be the most recent reviews.

1867
01:08:59,780 --> 01:09:02,860
It will tell the overall opinion of said reviews

1868
01:09:02,860 --> 01:09:04,020
and how many there are.

1869
01:09:04,020 --> 01:09:04,940
And how many hours they've played.

1870
01:09:04,940 --> 01:09:06,180
And how many hours they've put in.

1871
01:09:06,180 --> 01:09:06,820
Which is massive.

1872
01:09:06,820 --> 01:09:09,860
So it's not just some idiot going, oh, this game's shit.

1873
01:09:09,860 --> 01:09:12,340
And then at the top, it will be played 30 minutes.

1874
01:09:12,340 --> 01:09:13,940
It's all didn't purchase.

1875
01:09:13,940 --> 01:09:16,380
And then what I think is very good about it as well

1876
01:09:16,380 --> 01:09:19,140
is it will tell you if they received the game for free

1877
01:09:19,140 --> 01:09:19,860
or not.

1878
01:09:19,860 --> 01:09:21,700
So if it was a promotion basis or what.

1879
01:09:21,700 --> 01:09:25,740
So you can see if it's a somewhat biased review or not.

1880
01:09:25,740 --> 01:09:28,220
But the fact that you can see the hour was played

1881
01:09:28,220 --> 01:09:31,660
and the last time they played it, I think that's great.

1882
01:09:31,660 --> 01:09:34,900
And if you're still not sure, buy it anyway.

1883
01:09:34,900 --> 01:09:36,620
Play it for an hour and then you don't like it

1884
01:09:36,620 --> 01:09:37,700
and get rid of it.

1885
01:09:37,700 --> 01:09:38,860
So it's what I mean.

1886
01:09:38,860 --> 01:09:40,900
I just think in gaming, I genuinely

1887
01:09:40,900 --> 01:09:43,540
think that this might be the greatest thing to buy

1888
01:09:43,540 --> 01:09:44,500
if you have nothing.

1889
01:09:44,500 --> 01:09:45,620
I genuinely believe that.

1890
01:09:45,620 --> 01:09:46,540
100%.

1891
01:09:46,540 --> 01:09:48,860
Yeah, I couldn't be happier.

1892
01:09:48,860 --> 01:09:52,540
I would give that 11 out of 10 all day every day.

1893
01:09:52,540 --> 01:09:55,180
I underestimated how much I was going to love it.

1894
01:09:55,180 --> 01:09:56,580
And I just.

1895
01:09:56,580 --> 01:09:58,380
Well, I'm very glad that you got one.

1896
01:09:58,380 --> 01:09:59,580
I'm very happy.

1897
01:09:59,580 --> 01:10:00,300
I'm very happy for you.

1898
01:10:00,300 --> 01:10:01,140
So am I if you couldn't tell.

1899
01:10:01,140 --> 01:10:01,940
It's very, very good.

1900
01:10:01,940 --> 01:10:03,380
We took up pretty much all the podcast

1901
01:10:03,380 --> 01:10:04,740
talking about Assassin's Creed and Steam Deck.

1902
01:10:04,740 --> 01:10:05,340
But here we are.

1903
01:10:05,340 --> 01:10:05,860
I apologize.

1904
01:10:05,860 --> 01:10:07,580
Yeah, I'm enthusiastic about it.

1905
01:10:07,580 --> 01:10:08,660
So there you go.

1906
01:10:08,660 --> 01:10:09,740
So there we go then.

1907
01:10:09,740 --> 01:10:12,340
Straight onto the fucking old Patreon.

1908
01:10:12,340 --> 01:10:13,620
That's where the juicy shit is.

1909
01:10:13,620 --> 01:10:15,220
So we'll speak to you later.

1910
01:10:15,220 --> 01:10:15,780
Oh, ro.

1911
01:10:15,780 --> 01:10:45,340
Oh, ro.
