WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.899 That's good to go, straight off the bat. We're 00:00:01.899 --> 00:00:04.620 in. Bing, bong, boom. Bing, bong, boom, boom, 00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:08.560 boom. This feels like, because you're the first 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:10.140 person that's sat on the other end of the desk 00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:12.160 since I moved it, it feels like a weird job interview. 00:00:13.779 --> 00:00:16.480 Tell me, why do you want to join the podcast? 00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:20.160 I didn't interview you, did I? No, you didn't. 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.739 What did you? No, you didn't. No, Royce did. 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:24.699 Who did I interview? Royce did my little interview. 00:00:24.940 --> 00:00:28.980 I interviewed someone. Who did I interview, man? 00:00:30.059 --> 00:00:32.759 Who was there? Many years ago. Who was there 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:37.780 with you? Archie? No, Ollie. Ollie. Did you interview 00:00:37.780 --> 00:00:40.880 Ollie? What a fucking waste of time. Mate, he 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.039 had the best interview I've ever seen. Really? 00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:45.119 He was fucking, he smashed it out of the park. 00:00:45.179 --> 00:00:46.539 Yeah, but he had the gift of the gab though, 00:00:46.579 --> 00:00:49.880 didn't he? Little pikey. I actually really like 00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:51.259 Ollie, man. I've got a lot of time for Ollie. 00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.460 I like Ollie. He's a Wally though. Ollie the 00:00:53.460 --> 00:00:56.750 Wally. Nice kid, though. Good lad. Zero relevance. 00:00:57.070 --> 00:00:58.950 He's a good lad. To podcasts. No, no, I don't 00:00:58.950 --> 00:01:00.109 know why. It's because you were saying you were 00:01:00.109 --> 00:01:02.049 interviewing me. Just give me a little Friday 00:01:02.049 --> 00:01:06.250 throwback, didn't it? Yep. That's about it, really. 00:01:07.189 --> 00:01:11.989 Know what I mean? I think I should start so we 00:01:11.989 --> 00:01:14.810 don't start on... So we can, you know, start 00:01:14.810 --> 00:01:17.150 on a negative and then head up positive. Yeah. 00:01:17.670 --> 00:01:19.549 Start with the shit and end with the good. Yeah, 00:01:19.549 --> 00:01:26.569 sorry, Sam. Oh, yes. Oh, my God. How could I 00:01:26.569 --> 00:01:29.109 have the entire week? I forgot that you were 00:01:29.109 --> 00:01:34.750 fucking doing that. What did we say last episode? 00:01:35.129 --> 00:01:37.489 You know the excitement that you just had that 00:01:37.489 --> 00:01:40.670 you were not ill anymore? This is the same excitement. 00:01:40.829 --> 00:01:43.189 Because what did we say last episode? Didn't 00:01:43.189 --> 00:01:44.530 you say that you were going to play it through 00:01:44.530 --> 00:01:47.189 and through? Did you play it through and through? 00:01:47.629 --> 00:01:51.680 Fuck no, bro. Yes, baby! I've been ill for starters, 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.840 but I have played it. Yeah. Oh, shit, innit? 00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.060 I'll be honest, and I feel really bad because 00:01:59.060 --> 00:02:03.159 Sam actually messaged us on WhatsApp. On WhatsApp? 00:02:03.340 --> 00:02:07.819 On the Patreon? No, on Twitter. Oh, did he? And 00:02:07.819 --> 00:02:11.120 he said that he was like, you know, he's proud 00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:14.340 of me, man. He said, fair play for giving Granblue 00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:17.620 fantasy really a go, mate. Main quest is brilliant 00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:19.439 and the battles get better and better. It gets 00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.199 darker too, so don't worry, lol. Main quest is 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.439 like 15 to 20 hours, so well worth it. Let me 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.680 know how it goes on the next pod. I said I should 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.439 report back with my findings on Friday. I always 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:36.039 feel terrible for Sam because he's so supportive. 00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:39.599 of the podcast and offers us so much insight 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.240 into gaming like his his reviews and information 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.500 that he gives and things like that like you can 00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:48.740 tell this guy is a serious gamer so whenever 00:02:48.740 --> 00:02:50.800 he recommends a game or something like that and 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.479 you play it i think yeah like fucking decent 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.080 shit and and grand blue fantasy was just one 00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.659 of those but i just couldn't because i feel like 00:02:58.659 --> 00:03:02.099 the gameplay itself is all right but After the 00:03:02.099 --> 00:03:04.159 podcast last week, what did we do? Just before 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:05.979 you left, I went on YouTube and then found all 00:03:05.979 --> 00:03:10.139 the quips of all the weird anime shit that gets 00:03:10.139 --> 00:03:14.340 said. And Ash was like, surely this ain't what 00:03:14.340 --> 00:03:17.819 they really like. Confirm? Yeah, I can confirm. 00:03:20.060 --> 00:03:23.120 Let's go, team! Yeah. I mean, it's not... The 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.180 game isn't inherently bad, right? Let me put 00:03:26.180 --> 00:03:28.539 that right. I'm not saying the game's shit or 00:03:28.539 --> 00:03:32.180 the game's bad. But... I can't get with that 00:03:32.180 --> 00:03:35.300 shit. That's not my, that's not my jam. Do you 00:03:35.300 --> 00:03:36.879 know what I mean? It's like when we were playing 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.439 Final Fantasy fucking 16 or whatever it was. 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:40.939 We both played it and smashed it. It was loving 00:03:40.939 --> 00:03:43.699 it. And then it was just like, come on, this 00:03:43.699 --> 00:03:45.379 is ending, bro. It's getting a bit much now. 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.479 And it's like, I'll travel across here to talk 00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:50.419 to this person and then, it's the same shit they 00:03:50.419 --> 00:03:52.580 did in the MMO except it's not an MMO. Just fucking 00:03:52.580 --> 00:03:56.460 constant back and forth. And just, instead of 00:03:56.460 --> 00:03:58.800 saying, oh, Rhys, would you mind picking up that 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.629 cup for me? The amount of dialogue just to ask 00:04:02.629 --> 00:04:05.250 that simple question in these games is far too 00:04:05.250 --> 00:04:07.509 much. And I haven't got the patience for that. 00:04:07.590 --> 00:04:09.689 Unless it's meaningful dialogue, I don't want 00:04:09.689 --> 00:04:13.689 to hear it. And yeah, the start of the game was 00:04:13.689 --> 00:04:17.509 just boring. I didn't find it interesting. The 00:04:17.509 --> 00:04:20.009 enemies, I was hitting them and they were just 00:04:20.009 --> 00:04:21.850 not even reacting to me hitting them, if you 00:04:21.850 --> 00:04:25.480 know what I mean. The dragon was cool. that comes 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:26.560 up I don't know if you remember you're on an 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.339 airship and then the dragon comes up Bahamut 00:04:28.339 --> 00:04:33.699 or whatever it is which is cool but then as with 00:04:33.699 --> 00:04:36.779 all these sort of games I find like Final Fantasy 00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:40.319 included the boss is cool I love the boss but 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.259 it just takes 45 minutes to kill it it's just 00:04:43.259 --> 00:04:45.959 like yeah I get it you do four moves and I just 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:47.819 press square triangle square triangle triangle 00:04:47.819 --> 00:04:50.360 triangle triangle triangle and we just do this 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:54.029 until it's over but it's just too much if you 00:04:54.029 --> 00:04:56.329 know i mean i know i'm gonna beat you you're 00:04:56.329 --> 00:04:58.529 just wasting my time yeah this is too easy and 00:04:58.529 --> 00:05:00.170 this is not a challenge exactly and that and 00:05:00.170 --> 00:05:02.910 that bores me so that happened right at the beginning 00:05:02.910 --> 00:05:06.089 and then the story i didn't give enough time 00:05:06.089 --> 00:05:07.750 to actually understand exactly what's going on 00:05:07.750 --> 00:05:11.019 but it's all that instant right go and talk to 00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:13.279 this person and then talk to this person then 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.139 talk to this person then talk to this person 00:05:15.139 --> 00:05:16.980 does this and this person does that and i'm just 00:05:16.980 --> 00:05:20.699 like boring i need more fun before i get to this 00:05:20.699 --> 00:05:23.620 boring shit um so yeah in the end i was just 00:05:23.620 --> 00:05:25.519 skipping dialogue which i never do i was like 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.519 skip skip skip skip skip get me to the fun part 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:29.740 not even that i went one step further something 00:05:29.740 --> 00:05:33.139 i never ever do i'm skipping cut scenes bro because 00:05:33.139 --> 00:05:35.959 you get into a cut scene and it says you press 00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.699 a button skip and it comes up basically a synopsis 00:05:38.699 --> 00:05:40.399 of what is happening in the cutscene. Yeah, I 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:41.800 was doing the same shit. So I was like, nothing 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.199 interesting, skip. No fighting, skip. And I took 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.459 a quest on, went into a forest, attacked these 00:05:48.459 --> 00:05:51.970 monsters. Fine. And then I went to get another 00:05:51.970 --> 00:05:55.009 quest and it was like something similar. I was 00:05:55.009 --> 00:05:56.889 back in the same forest, in the same arena, fighting 00:05:56.889 --> 00:05:59.430 the same people. I was like, fuck this. I can't 00:05:59.430 --> 00:06:02.089 continue on. Did you like how positive all the 00:06:02.089 --> 00:06:04.610 characters are all the fucking time with everything 00:06:04.610 --> 00:06:06.850 that you do? Because I don't like that style. 00:06:06.910 --> 00:06:08.629 It's so annoying. And that's why I'm saying like, 00:06:08.709 --> 00:06:12.569 I think you have to be well into anime to vibe 00:06:12.569 --> 00:06:14.449 with that. And I, we've discussed it before, 00:06:14.610 --> 00:06:17.870 I'm only really into like Berserk, which is like 00:06:17.870 --> 00:06:20.589 really... Not even just the tone being dark, 00:06:20.709 --> 00:06:23.410 but the aesthetic of it is like dark. Do you 00:06:23.410 --> 00:06:25.009 know what I mean? It's the equivalent of Final 00:06:25.009 --> 00:06:27.810 Fantasy Online to World of Warcraft, like the 00:06:27.810 --> 00:06:29.889 Darklands or whatever you want to call it. There's 00:06:29.889 --> 00:06:33.750 no... It's just pure colour and sparkles. And 00:06:33.750 --> 00:06:37.329 I like my anime dark. Like Cyberpunk, bloody 00:06:37.329 --> 00:06:39.610 and mental. It's just fucking cringe is what 00:06:39.610 --> 00:06:42.750 it was. It was very, very... Like when you... 00:06:42.750 --> 00:06:45.810 I'm just having a quick look at the reviews and... 00:06:46.170 --> 00:06:49.949 I mean, this person has 154 hours on record, 00:06:50.110 --> 00:06:55.670 and it's very positive reviews. 35 ,000 of them. 00:06:55.670 --> 00:06:57.810 But I do think that it's not the game, it's me. 00:06:57.990 --> 00:07:02.269 It is us, yeah, 100%. Because you're trying to 00:07:02.269 --> 00:07:06.490 put a triangle shape into a square hole. We just 00:07:06.490 --> 00:07:10.930 aren't anime. I mean, I'm not an anime fan, full 00:07:10.930 --> 00:07:14.449 stop. I just don't find it interesting. It doesn't 00:07:14.449 --> 00:07:15.850 entice me. But you are, to a degree. You have 00:07:15.850 --> 00:07:18.610 to enjoy it. You loved Edge Runners, didn't you? 00:07:20.089 --> 00:07:23.290 Yeah, yeah. Maybe... So you're like me. It has 00:07:23.290 --> 00:07:26.850 to be a very specific anime. Yeah, I like it 00:07:26.850 --> 00:07:30.430 with a bit of grit. Exactly. Like I said, when 00:07:30.430 --> 00:07:32.829 I played Granblue Fantasy and then stopped playing 00:07:32.829 --> 00:07:38.899 it, it's just so... sorry to our friends over 00:07:38.899 --> 00:07:42.360 the water. It's just so fucking American. It's 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:47.819 so, it's so like Japanese turned American. It's 00:07:47.819 --> 00:07:50.740 so fucking happy and positive and we can save 00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:53.060 the world. Shut the fuck up. Good job. Yeah, 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.720 I hated that. Great hit. Yeah, shut the fuck 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.519 up. Just shut up. Oh, it was close. Yeah, it's 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:00.819 so annoying, man. It's so annoying. And then, 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.959 yeah, I didn't remember the synopsis thing until 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:05.459 you just mentioned it, but I was doing that. 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.040 where it just gave you a fucking brief thing 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:09.959 of everything that had gone on. Yeah, fuck the 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:12.699 cut scenes off. They were shit. Just not our 00:08:12.699 --> 00:08:15.420 cup of tea, which is a shame because it says 00:08:15.420 --> 00:08:17.279 it's got very positive reviews and I'm sure it's 00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:22.459 absolutely fine. But it's just not okay for us. 00:08:22.699 --> 00:08:25.199 I think, as I say, going back, I think that's 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.019 mainly why I didn't really play Final Fantasy 00:08:27.019 --> 00:08:28.680 VII when I was a kid because a lot of people 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.480 have got nostalgia for it. Final Fantasy 7 and 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.840 I haven't got that hence why I smashed through 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.000 remake before Rebirth came out and I played Rebirth 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.179 it was amazing but I haven't got that nostalgia 00:08:39.179 --> 00:08:40.919 for the characters I'm just like it's alright 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:42.759 it's a good game but yeah I never touched Final 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.779 Fantasy obviously I don't have I don't have any 00:08:44.779 --> 00:08:47.879 of that but it's all very similar in that yeah 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:51.559 let's go guys if I'm perfectly honest I don't 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.940 understand why the fuck people like Final Fantasy 00:08:53.940 --> 00:08:56.360 as much as they do I really don't get it Because 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.340 they're anime fans. I'm not saying it's bad at 00:08:58.340 --> 00:09:00.940 all. I just don't... And I'm sure it'll be the 00:09:00.940 --> 00:09:03.419 same way when people look at me with something 00:09:03.419 --> 00:09:07.419 like World of Warcraft. I just don't... I don't 00:09:07.419 --> 00:09:10.320 understand it at all. I don't like the aesthetic. 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.440 I don't like the way everything looks. I don't 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:16.080 like the combat styles of it. I just don't like 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:19.480 it. I think that's why I did Vibe with Final 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:21.879 Fantasy XVI more. Because it took a much more 00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:25.639 serious tone. It was much more like... cut and 00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.740 dry and and well straight to the point in terms 00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:30.679 of he still had the nonsense he questioned that 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.500 but it was more serious whereas final fantasy 00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:36.840 is always like i don't know girls swinging around 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:39.259 with umbrellas and short skirts when they fire 00:09:39.259 --> 00:09:41.120 flowers at people and i'm just like it's not 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.059 for me man i just thought they when we played 00:09:43.059 --> 00:09:45.480 that the minute that i found out you could get 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.379 that that talisman thing that just made all of 00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:50.830 all of your abilities combos So you could just 00:09:50.830 --> 00:09:53.070 keep spamming Square as much as you wanted and 00:09:53.070 --> 00:09:55.070 then you could have that paired with the other 00:09:55.070 --> 00:09:58.110 one where it automatically dodges for you. And 00:09:58.110 --> 00:09:59.490 I was like, well, that's just immediately sucked 00:09:59.490 --> 00:10:01.529 all the fun out of it. I mean, the combat weren't 00:10:01.529 --> 00:10:03.610 fucking difficult in the first place, but now 00:10:03.610 --> 00:10:06.129 you've just made it even easier. And then a six 00:10:06.129 --> 00:10:09.029 -hour cutscene in between fucking quests. It 00:10:09.029 --> 00:10:13.470 was just, fuck me. Not my cup of tea. Yeah, that's 00:10:13.470 --> 00:10:15.929 the problem. As I say, I think them sort of games, 00:10:16.110 --> 00:10:19.019 they are... If you like them, you like them. 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.759 If you don't, you don't. That's a burn from Final 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.740 Fantasy Online. I shouldn't have to put 100 hours 00:10:24.740 --> 00:10:28.299 plus into a game for it to be enjoyable. There 00:10:28.299 --> 00:10:32.899 is no way in hell that that should be a good 00:10:32.899 --> 00:10:36.320 thing. The trouble is, though, I think it's harder 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:40.059 for us because we're pushing, or me personally, 00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:42.860 because I'm not MMO anyway, you are, so you understand 00:10:42.860 --> 00:10:47.830 it more than me, but pushing through... a game 00:10:47.830 --> 00:10:51.330 style and story they don't like anyway whereas 00:10:51.330 --> 00:10:52.870 the people that like Final Fantasy will probably 00:10:52.870 --> 00:10:55.970 vibe with that a lot more like I like I like 00:10:55.970 --> 00:11:00.029 my games I like my MMOs or fantasy games with 00:11:00.029 --> 00:11:03.049 orcs and goblins and elves and all that sort 00:11:03.049 --> 00:11:05.470 of traditional stuff where these have got humans 00:11:05.470 --> 00:11:09.450 little tiny humans and people with cat ears and 00:11:09.450 --> 00:11:11.250 then the massive blue guys or whatever they are 00:11:11.250 --> 00:11:13.370 and that was it I like my there's no orcs and 00:11:13.370 --> 00:11:15.610 I like all that sort of stuff there's none of 00:11:15.610 --> 00:11:18.440 that so whilst I think the game's alright and 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:21.820 I can see why people like it it's harder for 00:11:21.820 --> 00:11:24.419 us to get through that slog because that's not 00:11:24.419 --> 00:11:27.200 our jam what a fucking slog and it is a slog 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:28.820 and we nearly got there as well which is the 00:11:28.820 --> 00:11:30.240 most painful part we did nearly get there and 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.379 it was just too much hatred too much but I'm 00:11:33.379 --> 00:11:35.299 sorry Sam I might go back to it but it's more 00:11:35.299 --> 00:11:36.679 likely I'll bring it back to us he's never going 00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:38.279 back you don't need to bring that back to us 00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.820 I promise you that you can bin that do whatever 00:11:40.820 --> 00:11:43.120 you want with it I genuinely don't care about 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:45.240 that game whatsoever I'll put it in a box and 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:47.740 it'll keep it warm for you keep it as a fucking 00:11:47.740 --> 00:11:51.039 relic it's of no no benefit to me whatsoever 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.759 so yeah sorry about that Sam I might go back 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.919 to it mate but right now he's not he's not he's 00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:59.620 dripping honey down in your ears Sam he is not 00:11:59.620 --> 00:12:01.639 going back to this game just give me my eyes 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:03.320 were flickering I was like I can't handle this 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:05.460 no more there's just no no chance whatsoever 00:12:05.460 --> 00:12:08.820 sorry it must be bad if I'm skipping cut scenes 00:12:08.820 --> 00:12:11.360 and dialogue because I don't do that ever you 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.139 know I'm investment number 10 I'm headphones 00:12:14.139 --> 00:12:16.419 on music up I'm listening to everything trying 00:12:16.419 --> 00:12:19.080 to absorb what's going on I could not have been 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:22.559 less interested and that's you know sorry Sam 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.559 it's not your fault it's my bad but I'll give 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.200 it a go yeah sorry so we can ask for now we can 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.279 make you play a game we'll make Sam play a game 00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:34.799 I don't know if there will be that many games 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:36.820 that he hasn't fucking played that we have play 00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:40.340 FIFA 2006 Get the platinum. And then see what 00:12:40.340 --> 00:12:41.899 that's like. Yeah, just for balance. Get back 00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:45.820 to us. Just named a random feature. I threw in 00:12:45.820 --> 00:12:49.679 more hours into Death Stranding, as is my weekly 00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:53.220 homework. Kind of the only thing that I actually 00:12:53.220 --> 00:12:56.179 sunk hours into this week has been fucking busy 00:12:56.179 --> 00:13:02.480 and tired. And still fun. Still very fun. I've 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.240 got my motorbike. I'm whizzing around on that. 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:09.889 Did I get... Did I get fucking swallowed the 00:13:09.889 --> 00:13:14.509 first time? Nah. Well, I did this time. The whales, 00:13:14.809 --> 00:13:18.370 whatever the fuck happens there. I was trying 00:13:18.370 --> 00:13:23.090 to avoid these BTs. Basically, I got to the unit 00:13:23.090 --> 00:13:26.190 where the motorbike is, but I hadn't unlocked 00:13:26.190 --> 00:13:28.710 the generator yet, so I couldn't charge the thing 00:13:28.710 --> 00:13:34.730 up. Had to head over to some science lab thing 00:13:34.730 --> 00:13:39.029 with a load of shit. I was fucking stacked up 00:13:39.029 --> 00:13:41.110 high, man. I was wobbling all over the fucking 00:13:41.110 --> 00:13:43.169 gaff. It made me walk through a forest. And when 00:13:43.169 --> 00:13:44.789 you get to the forest, it's like crazy windy. 00:13:46.470 --> 00:13:49.070 And there was just BTs everywhere. It was quite 00:13:49.070 --> 00:13:51.070 a distance. And I just knew the minute I saw 00:13:51.070 --> 00:13:54.809 the fucking, the route line go through a channel 00:13:54.809 --> 00:13:56.570 of forest, I was like, well, I'm obviously going 00:13:56.570 --> 00:13:59.990 to get fucking clobbered there. I must ask, are 00:13:59.990 --> 00:14:03.950 you playing Death Strand in Director's Cut or 00:14:03.950 --> 00:14:07.539 Death Strand in? Do you know? Because I didn't 00:14:07.539 --> 00:14:10.179 realise that the Director's Cut is like a completely 00:14:10.179 --> 00:14:12.340 different game. It's the same game, but there's 00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:14.919 so much more in it. It's mental. I'm playing 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.840 the Director's Cut. Yeah, so apparently I watched 00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:19.960 a video the other day because I didn't know it 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:21.700 was even a thing. And they're like, if you're 00:14:21.700 --> 00:14:23.919 going to play this, you can't play the other 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.820 one. It's night and day. Like quality of life 00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:29.039 improvements, obviously just general updates 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:31.820 and like the equipment that's added in it. It's 00:14:31.820 --> 00:14:33.519 like a completely different game. So there might 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:35.879 be stuff I don't even know. Yeah, because I believe, 00:14:37.189 --> 00:14:40.289 I had the PS4 version and then for an extra tenner 00:14:40.289 --> 00:14:42.809 you could upgrade to the PS5 version and I believe 00:14:42.809 --> 00:14:44.850 that gave you the director's cut and that is 00:14:44.850 --> 00:14:49.509 what I'm playing but yeah I headed into that 00:14:49.509 --> 00:14:52.370 forest and then sure enough loads of fucking 00:14:52.370 --> 00:14:55.490 BTs have popped up everywhere weird ghost people 00:14:55.490 --> 00:14:57.450 hanging about and I was avoiding them like the 00:14:57.450 --> 00:14:59.210 fucking plague and I was doing decent with it 00:14:59.210 --> 00:15:01.289 but they were just everywhere man I'm pretty 00:15:01.289 --> 00:15:04.919 sure it was intended for me to get into some 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.820 form of combat um because i just could not avoid 00:15:07.820 --> 00:15:10.679 them and then sure enough one of them grabbed 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.379 hold of me and i couldn't bat the hands away 00:15:13.379 --> 00:15:15.299 quick enough and then i was swallowed and then 00:15:15.299 --> 00:15:17.100 all of a sudden everything's just fucking turned 00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:20.259 black um and then there's this fucking whale 00:15:20.259 --> 00:15:24.000 swimming around trying to eat me and then like 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.720 like rocks flying up into the air and i can climb 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:29.320 them to fucking get away from the whale and i 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.120 was like The only reason I sort of know what's 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:33.860 going on is because we'd spoken about it. I was 00:15:33.860 --> 00:15:35.500 like, if I was completely fresh to this, I was 00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:37.600 like, I ain't got a fucking clue what is going 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.639 on. And it took me a good sort of like 20 seconds 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.679 of panic in this black water to realise that 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.860 all you've got to do is get out of it. It's just 00:15:48.860 --> 00:15:51.620 run away from it, which is exactly what I did. 00:15:52.820 --> 00:15:56.029 I'm playing the direct score, yeah. But what 00:15:56.029 --> 00:15:58.190 I was, I was, I was fuming because I had all 00:15:58.190 --> 00:16:00.649 this shit and it was degrading because of the 00:16:00.649 --> 00:16:04.169 timefall, which was very annoying. And it was, 00:16:04.169 --> 00:16:08.909 I was maybe like 400 meters, which in game terms 00:16:08.909 --> 00:16:13.370 is maybe like a fucking 30 second walk from where 00:16:13.370 --> 00:16:14.950 I needed to be. And then, yeah, sure enough, 00:16:15.029 --> 00:16:19.169 this, this, this whale pops up, hit me and knocked 00:16:19.169 --> 00:16:22.590 all my shit flying. Everything just spread out 00:16:22.590 --> 00:16:26.799 fucking everywhere. I was fuming. and then I 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:28.679 was like well I could see that the ring I could 00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:30.919 see the ring had an area so I was like I'll get 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:32.340 past that and see what happens and I got out 00:16:32.340 --> 00:16:33.940 of that and then sure enough it all fucking disappears 00:16:33.940 --> 00:16:36.620 and everyone's all happy and lovely so I went 00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:38.620 back to my stuff which was then fucked I then 00:16:38.620 --> 00:16:41.659 had to because you got that repair spray and 00:16:41.659 --> 00:16:44.519 I didn't realise that you well can you use it 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:47.779 while you've got all your gear on yeah how well 00:16:47.779 --> 00:16:50.399 I don't know I know you can because you can well 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:52.639 I need to learn how because I I had to take all 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:55.370 my shit off and spray it on the floor Well, maybe. 00:16:55.450 --> 00:16:57.470 All I know is that there's an option that you 00:16:57.470 --> 00:17:00.529 can face it backwards. So you can, while you're 00:17:00.529 --> 00:17:02.250 walking, you can just turn it around and it'll 00:17:02.250 --> 00:17:04.910 just go on his back. Oh, I'm going to have to 00:17:04.910 --> 00:17:07.150 learn, see about that. Because I took all my 00:17:07.150 --> 00:17:09.009 gear off and I had to spray it all individually, 00:17:09.109 --> 00:17:11.529 put that back on, delivered whatever the fuck 00:17:11.529 --> 00:17:16.180 I needed to deliver. Another, another. Like a 00:17:16.180 --> 00:17:18.839 chiral link was then done. I've now added someone 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.779 else to the chiral network. And then I think 00:17:22.779 --> 00:17:25.160 like as a reward or whatever, I got the blueprint 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:28.420 to make a generator, which obviously recharges 00:17:28.420 --> 00:17:30.599 shit. So I then went back, got them on a bike, 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.819 recharged stuff. I was like, oh, this is much 00:17:32.819 --> 00:17:35.859 easier. I got some fucking laser gun where I 00:17:35.859 --> 00:17:38.180 can stun people. Yeah, see, I don't think that's 00:17:38.180 --> 00:17:40.299 in the normal game. Oh, I got a gun that can 00:17:40.299 --> 00:17:42.460 stun people, basically. It might have been. It's 00:17:42.460 --> 00:17:45.790 a big old laser fucking machine gun thing. and 00:17:45.790 --> 00:17:49.009 then just fucking incapacitates everyone. So 00:17:49.009 --> 00:17:54.369 that was quite fun because I had a quest to basically 00:17:54.369 --> 00:17:58.789 test that out. And it's fine, but I get what 00:17:58.789 --> 00:18:00.569 you mean when you say the game is not designed 00:18:00.569 --> 00:18:04.470 around combat. It just isn't. I've got a grenade 00:18:04.470 --> 00:18:07.869 with my poo in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a poo 00:18:07.869 --> 00:18:09.829 grenade that I can throw at BTs. I forgot about 00:18:09.829 --> 00:18:11.809 that. Yeah, I forgot I had that as well, so I 00:18:11.809 --> 00:18:15.930 haven't used that. Finally, Hit a point where 00:18:15.930 --> 00:18:17.730 I'm now able to carry more shit. I got like the 00:18:17.730 --> 00:18:21.430 XO leg thingies. They're quite cool. I like them. 00:18:21.589 --> 00:18:24.769 And then I didn't realize that the... I can't 00:18:24.769 --> 00:18:26.230 remember what they're called. These weird crystals 00:18:26.230 --> 00:18:28.349 that you can pick up. And if you get a thousand 00:18:28.349 --> 00:18:33.430 of them or whatever the weight is, it makes you 00:18:33.430 --> 00:18:37.690 lighter because they levitate or something. So 00:18:37.690 --> 00:18:40.130 yeah, I got my motorbike. Was fucking around 00:18:40.130 --> 00:18:44.609 with that. And then now... I can't remember what 00:18:44.609 --> 00:18:46.730 it was. I've got like, the guy said it's like 00:18:46.730 --> 00:18:51.829 the biggest, the longest delivery that I've ever 00:18:51.829 --> 00:18:54.470 been given is what I now need to do. Delivering 00:18:54.470 --> 00:18:56.950 to Hartman or something like that. Some shit 00:18:56.950 --> 00:19:02.710 like that. Which seems quite cool. Yeah, man. 00:19:03.009 --> 00:19:06.730 It's still going pretty well. Good, man. I'm 00:19:06.730 --> 00:19:08.750 glad you're enjoying it. I wish I had that level 00:19:08.750 --> 00:19:11.539 of enjoyment with it. And I'm hoping... The director's 00:19:11.539 --> 00:19:13.799 cut is just a different experience. I'm also 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:17.200 hoping that Death Stranding 2 is going to have 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:19.359 the Kingdom Come Deliverance treatment where, 00:19:19.460 --> 00:19:21.980 like, Kingdom Come Deliverance 1, Death Stranding 00:19:21.980 --> 00:19:25.819 1, they were received well. Nothing major. They're 00:19:25.819 --> 00:19:28.240 well. Like, sevens, eights, you know, they're 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:32.849 okay games. And then KZD2 just went... It had 00:19:32.849 --> 00:19:35.430 a vision and it didn't deviate from that vision. 00:19:35.490 --> 00:19:37.630 It expanded on everything and made everything 00:19:37.630 --> 00:19:39.950 amazing and I'm hoping that's what they'll do 00:19:39.950 --> 00:19:41.390 with this. I'm excited for it because obviously 00:19:41.390 --> 00:19:44.170 in Death Stranding 2 you see that there's like 00:19:44.170 --> 00:19:46.529 a little kid which is obviously your fucking 00:19:46.529 --> 00:19:50.329 BB. Is the link that I would make there that 00:19:50.329 --> 00:19:54.369 somehow you've... Or is it? I don't know. Be 00:19:54.369 --> 00:19:56.869 careful because it is Kojima. Now let me just 00:19:56.869 --> 00:19:58.750 tell you a little story about what Kojima did 00:19:58.750 --> 00:20:02.140 when I was young. Metal Gear Solid 1 came out 00:20:02.140 --> 00:20:04.920 on the PlayStation. Absolutely mental game. Everyone 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:07.880 loved it. It was like just critically acclaimed 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:10.140 across the board. And then Metal Gear Solid 2 00:20:10.140 --> 00:20:14.160 was announced and then it was just, yeah, just 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.579 more of the same but bigger and better and bang, 00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:18.740 bang, bang. All the trailers are coming out. 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:21.180 Solid Snake sneaking around in boxes doing rah, 00:20:21.259 --> 00:20:23.460 rah, rah. And then the game comes out and you 00:20:23.460 --> 00:20:26.559 start and you're Solid Snake on a ship do this 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:28.900 thing and then the ship goes down. Solid Snake 00:20:28.900 --> 00:20:31.539 drowns or Goes under the water, shall we say. 00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:32.920 And then bang, you play the game as a completely 00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:34.940 different character. And everyone was like, what? 00:20:36.619 --> 00:20:39.720 What? Well, they killed him. No, they didn't. 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:42.059 But you still play the game as a whole different 00:20:42.059 --> 00:20:44.400 character. And all the trailers, all the marketing, 00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:46.359 this geezer was never mentioned once. It was 00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:49.019 all Snake. So when, you know, imagine doing that 00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:51.619 now. Like, you're talking about The Last of Us, 00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:53.700 Joe and Ellie kind of levels. Oh, you'd lose 00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:55.140 your shit, wouldn't you? What the f*** have you 00:20:55.140 --> 00:20:58.710 done to like a beloved character? and don't get 00:20:58.710 --> 00:20:59.990 me wrong he's still in it and he's still sick 00:20:59.990 --> 00:21:03.269 and blah blah blah but he is like you know I've 00:21:03.269 --> 00:21:05.130 told you before put your control in a different 00:21:05.130 --> 00:21:08.390 control he is like break the fourth wall genius 00:21:08.390 --> 00:21:11.130 one of the most amazing developers of all time 00:21:11.130 --> 00:21:14.609 so yeah I would that is what naturally everyone's 00:21:14.609 --> 00:21:17.710 presumption would go to so that's probably why 00:21:17.710 --> 00:21:21.490 it isn't but yeah I agree I think it is but it's 00:21:21.490 --> 00:21:25.789 Kojima man so you can never be sure it's a slow 00:21:25.789 --> 00:21:28.589 burner for me which I'm quite enjoying I'm enjoying 00:21:28.589 --> 00:21:31.470 the game whilst I'm playing it and I'm getting 00:21:31.470 --> 00:21:33.369 excited to play it whilst I'm not playing it 00:21:33.369 --> 00:21:35.549 but not to a level where I feel like I need to 00:21:35.549 --> 00:21:38.390 keep I just want to constantly play it I'm quite 00:21:38.390 --> 00:21:41.690 happy maybe jumping on it like once or twice 00:21:41.690 --> 00:21:43.670 a week for a couple of hours and then that's 00:21:43.670 --> 00:21:46.529 it so I only played it once last week and that 00:21:46.529 --> 00:21:52.730 was on Sunday, I think. And yeah, just for a 00:21:52.730 --> 00:21:54.730 couple of hours in, like two, maybe three hours 00:21:54.730 --> 00:21:56.930 in. And that was enough for me. After that, I 00:21:56.930 --> 00:21:59.029 was like, all right, yeah, sweet, I'm done for 00:21:59.029 --> 00:22:01.630 a minute. So yeah, it's just going to be one 00:22:01.630 --> 00:22:04.930 of those types. But yeah, still having a good 00:22:04.930 --> 00:22:07.950 time with it, which is decent. Yeah, I think 00:22:07.950 --> 00:22:09.849 that was your plan anyway, so nothing's changed 00:22:09.849 --> 00:22:13.529 in that respect. Yeah. I did play, I actually 00:22:13.529 --> 00:22:17.109 booted up the old girl this week. Steam Deck 00:22:17.109 --> 00:22:20.660 came out. booted her up done all the updates 00:22:20.660 --> 00:22:24.099 played a couple of hours of I say a couple of 00:22:24.099 --> 00:22:27.299 hours probably played less than an hour of Deep 00:22:27.299 --> 00:22:30.619 Rock Galactic but the you know roguelike kind 00:22:30.619 --> 00:22:33.779 of one but I was ill so I was just looking for 00:22:33.779 --> 00:22:36.960 a fix of something couldn't really take over 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:39.720 the telly but yeah I was just looking for it 00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:42.240 just thinking what an amazing marvellous piece 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:44.500 of kit and then I put it back in this box and 00:22:44.500 --> 00:22:46.559 that's just probably what's going to keep happening 00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:49.720 it's terrible isn't it Isn't that weird? I don't 00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:51.660 know why I do it. Everything's at your fingertips, 00:22:51.779 --> 00:22:54.619 and you just go, nah. I just like having it, 00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:56.740 man. I just like having it. Yeah, yeah. It's 00:22:56.740 --> 00:22:58.480 one of those FOMO things, isn't it? You go, well, 00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:00.720 I've got that, but thanks very much. See you 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:02.180 later. The thing is, for me, it's like I've never 00:23:02.180 --> 00:23:04.019 really been on Steam, so there's always been 00:23:04.019 --> 00:23:06.099 games, and it's like, come into Steam, early 00:23:06.099 --> 00:23:07.779 access. I'm like, fuck's sake, you can't play. 00:23:08.539 --> 00:23:11.400 So the Steam Deck does give me the advantage 00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:13.980 of buying things early, like Hades 2, I love. 00:23:14.900 --> 00:23:19.019 That's in early access. Yeah, but I'll probably 00:23:19.019 --> 00:23:21.779 boot that out tonight. Or I'll play Baldur's 00:23:21.779 --> 00:23:23.660 Gate. I'll tell you what I'm not playing. Granblue. 00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:26.240 Yeah, Granblue Fantasy is not getting a fucking 00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:29.079 look in at all. But yeah, other than that, I've 00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:33.460 played Baldur's Gate again this week because 00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:38.599 I'd done, on my first playthrough, I'd done Act 00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:40.900 1. As far as I know, I never think I possibly 00:23:40.900 --> 00:23:43.460 could in Act 1. And then when I got to Act 2, 00:23:43.539 --> 00:23:46.329 it was all like dark and... and you needed a 00:23:46.329 --> 00:23:48.990 lantern around you at all times. And I was like, 00:23:49.049 --> 00:23:51.609 fuck this, I hate this. And I just beelined the 00:23:51.609 --> 00:23:54.289 main story in that zone. So when I got to Act 00:23:54.289 --> 00:23:56.369 3, I feel like there's a lot of stuff that I 00:23:56.369 --> 00:23:58.789 missed or couldn't do because I was severely 00:23:58.789 --> 00:24:03.509 under -leveled. So yeah, Act 2 is going to be 00:24:03.509 --> 00:24:05.690 like a whole new game for me, bits I've never 00:24:05.690 --> 00:24:08.789 even seen. So yeah, I'm looking forward to smashing 00:24:08.789 --> 00:24:10.349 through that. And the game's completely different 00:24:10.349 --> 00:24:11.789 anyway. I'm playing as a different character, 00:24:11.789 --> 00:24:14.420 a different race. Playing the Dark Urge path, 00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:17.619 which is mental. Just resting and I wake up and 00:24:17.619 --> 00:24:19.119 I've slaughtered people in my sleep. That is 00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:22.079 weird. It's crazy, man. Game's mental. Absolutely 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:25.279 mental. Best game ever, obviously. Yeah, that's 00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:27.079 all I've done, really. I've been ill, though. 00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:31.799 Didn't No Man's Sky come out with a fat update? 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.900 Yeah, some archaeological update. Yeah, like 00:24:34.900 --> 00:24:38.180 Lost Titan type shit. You can create your own 00:24:38.180 --> 00:24:41.440 light. Museum of dinosaur bones and shit. Fossils 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:43.960 and... I bet... I feel like it would be crazy 00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:46.140 to jump in that game now because of the last 00:24:46.140 --> 00:24:48.220 time that I played it. Everything is just... 00:24:48.220 --> 00:24:52.359 I was fucking obsessed with that game. Obsessed 00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:54.299 with it. You remember my fleet, man? I had that 00:24:54.299 --> 00:24:57.579 fucking massive ship and I was like... An armada. 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:02.990 I absolutely loved having a fleet. like calling 00:25:02.990 --> 00:25:06.750 in your fucking yeah cool and then everything 00:25:06.750 --> 00:25:09.069 just fucking spawns in like five seconds later 00:25:09.069 --> 00:25:12.490 and it's just a whole like mini empire of ships 00:25:12.490 --> 00:25:14.109 and for some reason like even they didn't they 00:25:14.109 --> 00:25:16.190 didn't do anything unless you sent them out on 00:25:16.190 --> 00:25:20.130 missions i felt like safe i don't know why like 00:25:20.130 --> 00:25:22.049 flying into my fucking hangar and then there's 00:25:22.049 --> 00:25:24.890 just like loads of and then getting the the living 00:25:24.890 --> 00:25:27.990 ships and all and going through all the fucking 00:25:27.990 --> 00:25:30.029 rigmarole sorting that out that was good fun 00:25:30.029 --> 00:25:33.119 man Fucking loved it. Another 100 hours in there 00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:36.079 if you want it now. I wonder, because I was playing 00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:41.720 that on PlayStation, weren't I? Yeah. I wonder 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:47.599 if I could see how many fucking hours that I 00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:52.480 put into that. Do you just search it? No, I think 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:55.539 you have to go on your game library. No man's 00:25:55.539 --> 00:25:58.940 sky. Let me have a look. I've already got it. 00:25:59.660 --> 00:26:01.420 Why won't you just show me? I just wanted to 00:26:01.420 --> 00:26:05.420 see if it fucking... If it would show me. I don't 00:26:05.420 --> 00:26:08.019 know if it shows you on the app. Well, you just... 00:26:08.019 --> 00:26:10.920 It does. Does it? Well, if it's in your recently 00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:13.700 played. Oh, right. Is it going to do me like 00:26:13.700 --> 00:26:17.660 that where it doesn't fucking... Well, I'm on 00:26:17.660 --> 00:26:19.960 recently played games and I can't see my played 00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:22.460 games. No, man, it's got to... No, yeah, it ain't 00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:24.759 going to fucking show me. That's pathetic. It's 00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:28.900 pathetic behaviour. I just wanted to see. Well, 00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:30.940 they're not letting you, bruv. Hundreds of hours 00:26:30.940 --> 00:26:37.319 either way. It gave me a little buzz that I can't 00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:40.440 wait for Light No Fire. That's going to be so 00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:44.819 fucking... That's going to be good, that. But 00:26:44.819 --> 00:26:50.759 still, very, very little information on that. 00:26:50.900 --> 00:26:53.920 By little, you mean none? Yes. Yes, a trailer, 00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:58.960 and then that is basically it. There's fucking 00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:03.680 literally nothing. And it's so annoying. Because 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:07.359 I really want to see the main premise of it. 00:27:08.019 --> 00:27:11.980 Because it kind of looks a bit like Entrouded 00:27:11.980 --> 00:27:16.019 meets Ark. Obviously thrown in with System of 00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:19.579 No Man's Sky. I'm watching the trailer now. Oh, 00:27:19.579 --> 00:27:21.539 the nostalgia from just fucking seeing the trailer 00:27:21.539 --> 00:27:23.660 of it. And the little bunny people that you can 00:27:23.660 --> 00:27:25.759 be. And all that weird shit. And then there's 00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:28.630 fucking... kingfishers that are flying around. 00:27:28.750 --> 00:27:30.789 I want it. I want to be a part of it. And it's 00:27:30.789 --> 00:27:34.150 just fucking infuriating that there's just nothing 00:27:34.150 --> 00:27:40.430 here, man. Release date, nothing. Oh, God. It's 00:27:40.430 --> 00:27:42.809 a game about adventure, building, survival. It's 00:27:42.809 --> 00:27:46.890 one of the only survival types that I will really 00:27:46.890 --> 00:27:50.990 get along with. You know what I mean? Yes. Yes, 00:27:51.089 --> 00:27:55.789 you will. I really want to buy... Rise of the 00:27:55.789 --> 00:27:58.089 Ronin. And I've got it on my wish list, but I 00:27:58.089 --> 00:28:03.170 refuse to pay them. We're going back to that, 00:28:03.230 --> 00:28:07.150 yeah. Yeah, well, that's what I want. It's on 00:28:07.150 --> 00:28:09.890 my wish list, man, but I'm not paying 70 bones 00:28:09.890 --> 00:28:11.630 for it. Do you know what I mean? It's just not 00:28:11.630 --> 00:28:16.170 happening. 70 quid? 69 .99, baby. There's no 00:28:16.170 --> 00:28:18.190 fucking chance. Still got them mixed reviews, 00:28:18.349 --> 00:28:20.630 though. I mean, that is on... Oh, yeah, because 00:28:20.630 --> 00:28:22.529 we looked at this last time and it was just fucking... 00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:26.819 optimization issues wasn't it on pc a lot of 00:28:26.819 --> 00:28:29.559 people are playing it now and and what's the 00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:32.039 word gushing over it oh you're telling me that 00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:35.420 is that off the back i mean assassin's creed 00:28:35.420 --> 00:28:38.319 shadows is doing really well selling well but 00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:41.599 i don't think uh i still see a lot of discourse 00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:44.920 on it people are not happy people are happy it's 00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:48.000 just this is i think that's just assassin's creed 00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:50.019 for the eternity now like you're always going 00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:51.859 to be split Some people are going to love it, 00:28:51.900 --> 00:28:53.539 some people are going to hate it. Yeah, agreed. 00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:58.119 If we both had an Assassin's Creed game, say 00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:00.660 Assassin's Creed Shadows, and it was what you 00:29:00.660 --> 00:29:04.160 wanted, create your own character of players 00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:08.539 one, rah -rah -rah, perfect game, and there was 00:29:08.539 --> 00:29:11.079 no Animus, I would love it. You would prefer 00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:12.500 the Animus. I want the Animus, yeah. So it's 00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:15.400 split regardless, because at this point you just 00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:16.740 need to make two separate titles. Why don't you 00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:20.309 buy Rise of the Ronin off of eBay? Because I'm 00:29:20.309 --> 00:29:22.589 just impatient and then when I want it, I want 00:29:22.589 --> 00:29:24.690 it now. Yeah, but you could have it now. No, 00:29:24.710 --> 00:29:28.430 I have it tomorrow. Yeah, but... That's too long. 00:29:28.569 --> 00:29:30.690 Yeah, but if you were to buy it now, then you 00:29:30.690 --> 00:29:32.710 would have it... By the time, like, I know what 00:29:32.710 --> 00:29:34.509 you mean, you want it instantly, but by the time 00:29:34.509 --> 00:29:37.509 it rocks up, you've got no choice but to wait 00:29:37.509 --> 00:29:39.289 anyway. So, like, you could get it on eBay now 00:29:39.289 --> 00:29:41.990 for 30 quid. Yeah, and I can get it on Pelé Station 00:29:41.990 --> 00:29:45.690 store for 70. and I've got it now that's mental 00:29:45.690 --> 00:29:47.809 isn't it that it's 70 quid on Playstation although 00:29:47.809 --> 00:29:51.589 this is why I put this is why this is a pro tip 00:29:51.589 --> 00:29:53.690 for anyone that does what I do yeah wishlisting 00:29:53.690 --> 00:29:57.089 shit because I've got Rise of the Ronin wishlisted 00:29:57.089 --> 00:30:01.140 on my Playstation account £69 .99, Rise of the 00:30:01.140 --> 00:30:03.960 Ronin. I also have Rise of the Ronin, the digital 00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:06.940 deluxe edition, which listed on my PlayStation 00:30:06.940 --> 00:30:11.799 account, and that's £52 .79. Nice. 34 % off of 00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:14.819 the original £80 asking price. So, you know, 00:30:14.900 --> 00:30:19.039 I'm more willing to pay that than I am the 70 00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:23.799 quid for the shit. But yeah, I don't know. I'm 00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:25.579 waiting. I'm waiting on that. I'm sitting on 00:30:25.579 --> 00:30:28.779 it. I've got other stuff to do, man. My gaming 00:30:28.779 --> 00:30:31.579 habits, I must say, have changed over the... 00:30:31.579 --> 00:30:35.019 You reckon? Yes, for sure. Because I... The old 00:30:35.019 --> 00:30:37.559 me, bang, I'd have had AC Jealous. I'd have had 00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:40.079 that before any reviews came out. I'd have pre 00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:43.140 -ordered the shit out of it. I can't think off 00:30:43.140 --> 00:30:44.460 the top of my head, but there's been a lot of 00:30:44.460 --> 00:30:46.559 games. Veil Guard, I would have pre -ordered 00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:48.660 that. All these games, man, I would have just 00:30:48.660 --> 00:30:51.599 been on them just because I get excited at new 00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:55.440 games, new experiences. But now I sit on them, 00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:57.859 man, and I'm like, no, I'll put them on my wish 00:30:57.859 --> 00:30:59.599 list and I'll wait for sales because I've got 00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:01.619 Baldur's Gate, bro. That game will keep me entertained 00:31:01.619 --> 00:31:04.849 forever. we've been over it before it's just 00:31:04.849 --> 00:31:07.109 fucking expensive man well it is expensive and 00:31:07.109 --> 00:31:10.369 the price that games go down to I mean I wish 00:31:10.369 --> 00:31:12.970 this did Valgaard and then come out as a PlayStation 00:31:12.970 --> 00:31:15.710 Plus game like three months later I would be 00:31:15.710 --> 00:31:17.990 fuming if I'd paid full price for that yeah yeah 00:31:17.990 --> 00:31:21.710 you'd almost feel like entitled to a fucking 00:31:24.220 --> 00:31:26.660 compensation off of that if you buy a game full 00:31:26.660 --> 00:31:28.559 price and it's from the playstation store I want 00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:30.819 it fucking I want compensation off if you're 00:31:30.819 --> 00:31:34.599 throwing it for free in three months please it's 00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:37.079 dirty behaviour but they needed to get them players 00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:41.240 up man so yeah I quite often just sit on games 00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:44.259 now and wait at least wait for reviews and it 00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:46.740 also helps that back in the day if I wanted a 00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:50.210 game I'd be like if I really wanted it I'd take 00:31:50.210 --> 00:31:53.029 a day off I'd go down and buy it physical I was 00:31:53.029 --> 00:31:55.650 always physical physical where now as I'm like 00:31:55.650 --> 00:31:57.990 right well I'll just download it so it's already 00:31:57.990 --> 00:32:00.029 downloaded ready to go when I get in from work 00:32:00.029 --> 00:32:03.069 because I've pre -ordered it rah rah rah thing 00:32:03.069 --> 00:32:05.769 is man you've got fucking things like Game Pass 00:32:05.769 --> 00:32:07.829 and all I'm just having a quick look to see that 00:32:07.829 --> 00:32:11.529 Atom 4 I want to try yeah that looks good it 00:32:11.529 --> 00:32:14.089 looks good but I also saw that it's got some 00:32:14.089 --> 00:32:18.019 janky Some jankiness to it. It's got mostly positive 00:32:18.019 --> 00:32:25.140 reviews sort of like Fallout styled developer 00:32:25.140 --> 00:32:28.039 and publishers of rebellion I've never heard 00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:30.539 of them. Fallout in London or England by the 00:32:30.539 --> 00:32:33.680 looks of it. Yeah, yeah. A nuclear disaster has 00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:36.240 left an area of Britain in tatters. Atomfall, 00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:38.980 a new survival action game. We'll see you explore, 00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:42.140 scavenge, craft, barter and fight your way through 00:32:42.140 --> 00:32:45.940 beautifully recreated scenery in search of answers. 00:32:46.380 --> 00:32:49.539 Someone said a little over eight hours of gameplay 00:32:49.539 --> 00:32:54.900 to... Oh. Oh. What's happened? A little over 00:32:54.900 --> 00:32:57.119 eight hours of gameplay to beat the game is kind 00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:00.220 of sad. Oh, that's pathetic. Eight hours? No, 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:03.279 I'm not going to do the other endings. The mystery 00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:05.500 was good in the beginning. Now there's no reason 00:33:05.500 --> 00:33:07.200 to go back and do the other endings. I'm just 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:09.000 going to watch them. If you're interested in 00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:13.160 this game, just wait for it to go on sale. Yeah, 00:33:13.259 --> 00:33:15.359 it's not a bad game, but somehow very bland. 00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:17.960 Tries to be Fallout in some places. Stalker in 00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:20.400 others. Stalker? Sick game. Forgot about that. 00:33:21.769 --> 00:33:24.150 poor man's bioshock when it comes to equipment 00:33:24.150 --> 00:33:26.670 weapon variety is okay but there are no real 00:33:26.670 --> 00:33:28.710 upgrades to them just some better visuals and 00:33:28.710 --> 00:33:31.410 basic stat increases story is bland multiple 00:33:31.410 --> 00:33:33.529 choices really only matter once you get to the 00:33:33.529 --> 00:33:35.950 end of the game you can do all arcs without losing 00:33:35.950 --> 00:33:38.490 access to others for most of the game factions 00:33:38.490 --> 00:33:41.289 are extremely bland all roaming factions slash 00:33:41.289 --> 00:33:45.210 enemies are just primitive raiders basic fallout 00:33:45.210 --> 00:33:48.670 raiders uh enclave but british and with less 00:33:48.670 --> 00:33:51.930 power and totally not just feral ghouls we promise 00:33:51.930 --> 00:33:55.430 let me yes all the raiders go oi what the bloody 00:33:55.430 --> 00:33:58.650 hell are you doing that that i hate i hate that 00:33:58.650 --> 00:34:01.670 when when you have like an english adaptation 00:34:01.670 --> 00:34:04.710 of something and it's always that isn't it fucking 00:34:04.710 --> 00:34:07.829 all right governor yeah no let's have some fucking 00:34:07.829 --> 00:34:11.750 different shit in there i mean i feel like I 00:34:11.750 --> 00:34:14.329 want to say that I heard a lot of northern accents 00:34:14.329 --> 00:34:18.289 in the trailer for this. I want to say that. 00:34:18.369 --> 00:34:20.829 Games that have English people, they tend to 00:34:20.829 --> 00:34:22.630 either have that, all right, governor, how you 00:34:22.630 --> 00:34:26.349 doing, sunshine? Or they have the northern, like, 00:34:26.429 --> 00:34:30.809 the Jon Snow accent. Kind of gritty northern. 00:34:31.369 --> 00:34:33.389 Yeah, there's never just a normal English game. 00:34:33.510 --> 00:34:35.889 You don't get no Essex boys in there. No, definitely 00:34:35.889 --> 00:34:40.369 not. Fucking definitely not. It's been a long, 00:34:40.449 --> 00:34:43.269 long time since I actually looked on Game Pass 00:34:43.269 --> 00:34:48.329 to see if there was anything decent. Because 00:34:48.329 --> 00:34:51.489 with Assassin's Creed Shadows, if you wanted 00:34:51.489 --> 00:34:54.469 to play it on PC, it only cost you 15 quid because 00:34:54.469 --> 00:34:56.429 you just go through Ubisoft Connect. But then 00:34:56.429 --> 00:34:58.610 you've got to play it on PC. And I don't want 00:34:58.610 --> 00:35:03.570 to play it on PC. They announced Indiana Jones 00:35:03.570 --> 00:35:06.139 is coming to PlayStation. in a couple of weeks 00:35:06.139 --> 00:35:09.059 yeah did we we kind of knew that was going to 00:35:09.059 --> 00:35:10.860 happen though yeah yeah i think starford will 00:35:10.860 --> 00:35:12.960 be eventually as well yeah i think they're all 00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:15.260 coming man xbox are just folding in that respect 00:35:15.260 --> 00:35:17.980 and just well we'll just play our system then 00:35:17.980 --> 00:35:19.739 don't worry about the games well yeah the thing 00:35:19.739 --> 00:35:22.000 is man i don't even i wouldn't even say that 00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:23.699 it's folding i think it's just smart business 00:35:23.699 --> 00:35:25.860 you go little i've released this game if anything 00:35:25.860 --> 00:35:28.119 it's the more mature thing to do because they're 00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:31.039 failing They have no option. People don't buy 00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:32.639 their console anymore. Yeah, but PlayStation 00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:34.619 aren't doing much fucking better in terms of 00:35:34.619 --> 00:35:38.099 actual games that they're coming out with. Have 00:35:38.099 --> 00:35:41.300 a look at PlayStation 5 sales compared to Xbox 00:35:41.300 --> 00:35:43.420 sales. Oh, yeah, no. Yeah, yeah. Hardware -wise, 00:35:43.539 --> 00:35:46.280 they may as well just fucking... They're more 00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:47.980 or less the same shit. If you're going to do 00:35:47.980 --> 00:35:50.900 flagship games like Starfield, Indiana Jones 00:35:50.900 --> 00:35:53.260 and the like... And then just sell them on Xbox. 00:35:53.539 --> 00:35:55.480 If your Xboxes aren't selling, them games aren't 00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:57.679 selling. So fucking get them out on other consoles. 00:35:57.900 --> 00:36:00.159 Because I'll probably buy Indiana Jones. I won't 00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:02.860 buy it full price because I've changed. But I'll 00:36:02.860 --> 00:36:05.380 play that eventually. But I would not go and 00:36:05.380 --> 00:36:07.980 buy Xbox to play that. I will never do that again 00:36:07.980 --> 00:36:11.179 for Xbox. Dead to me. I will buy a Nintendo Switch 00:36:11.179 --> 00:36:13.340 2 though, I think. Did you see Nintendo Switch 00:36:13.340 --> 00:36:16.860 Direct? No, when was that? Yesterday. Oh, yeah, 00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:20.289 no, I missed it. Go on then, give us some. No, 00:36:20.369 --> 00:36:22.429 this one's just for Nintendo Switch 1. The Nintendo 00:36:22.429 --> 00:36:25.809 Switch 2 Direct is actually next week, which 00:36:25.809 --> 00:36:29.190 is spicy. They've announced, I don't know, just 00:36:29.190 --> 00:36:31.130 typical Nintendo games, really. Nothing that 00:36:31.130 --> 00:36:34.409 really speaks to me. But they have created a 00:36:34.409 --> 00:36:38.809 new feature called Virtual Game Cards. What's 00:36:38.809 --> 00:36:41.369 that? I don't really know. Let me Google it then. 00:36:41.530 --> 00:36:44.550 I think, well, I do know, but it's still very 00:36:44.550 --> 00:36:46.630 confusing. So if you've got a Switch and I've 00:36:46.630 --> 00:36:50.530 got a Switch, I can lend you a game. But I haven't 00:36:50.530 --> 00:36:52.070 got that game while you're playing it, if you 00:36:52.070 --> 00:36:54.570 know what I mean. So I've lent you my virtual 00:36:54.570 --> 00:36:56.670 game card. So it's like I've took the game out 00:36:56.670 --> 00:37:00.610 of my system and put it in your system. So virtual 00:37:00.610 --> 00:37:02.989 game card for Switch and Switch 2. Purchase a 00:37:02.989 --> 00:37:05.329 digital game and load it as a digital game card. 00:37:05.809 --> 00:37:08.730 Load a digital game card on a second system up 00:37:08.730 --> 00:37:11.889 to two systems.

I don't imagine so. Local play normally 00:39:41.809 --> 00:39:44.510 means... Means local, as in fucking next to each 00:39:44.510 --> 00:39:46.369 other. Yeah, sitting on the same couch playing 00:39:46.369 --> 00:39:49.590 couch cart. However, virtual game cards can also 00:39:49.590 --> 00:39:51.969 be lent to anyone within a Nintendo account family 00:39:51.969 --> 00:39:54.050 group, which can support up to eight Nintendo 00:39:54.050 --> 00:39:56.510 account users. Again, this initially requires 00:39:56.510 --> 00:39:59.909 the lending user to connect to the family group 00:39:59.909 --> 00:40:02.750 member's console locally, after which it's simply 00:40:02.750 --> 00:40:05.449 a case of choosing the title being lent. So... 00:40:05.820 --> 00:40:09.440 Yeah, so I would imagine you'd be able to connect 00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:12.940 as a family and then fuck off. And then you can... 00:40:12.940 --> 00:40:15.760 Only one game at a time can be lent to each member 00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:18.699 within a family group and only for a total of 00:40:18.699 --> 00:40:21.980 14 days. After the two weeks comes to an end, 00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:23.980 a virtual game card will be automatically returned 00:40:23.980 --> 00:40:26.980 to its original owner. Expect the virtual game 00:40:26.980 --> 00:40:29.840 card system to feature in much the same way on 00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:32.719 Switch 2. Now, you fucking watch. You watch this, 00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:35.539 Prince Among Men, right? Here's the virtual card. 00:40:36.780 --> 00:40:38.579 14 days and I'll have that game back, please. 00:40:39.059 --> 00:40:42.539 For an extra two quid a month. We'll extend that 00:40:42.539 --> 00:40:46.500 to 60 days. Or for five pounds, you can have 00:40:46.500 --> 00:40:49.519 it indefinitely. I think, I don't know if it 00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:52.360 says it there, but I presume that after 14 days, 00:40:52.460 --> 00:40:54.139 you can just send it back to them if you want. 00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:56.099 It's just a way of me not giving you a game you 00:40:56.099 --> 00:40:58.119 can keep forever after I've played it. Do you 00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:00.500 know what I mean? Yeah, it's also a way to introduce 00:41:00.500 --> 00:41:03.179 another tiny microtransaction to extend that. 00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:06.559 Much like how you pay for Amazon Prime, get the 00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:10.179 video with it, and then for an extra £2 .99, 00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:12.500 you can get rid of the ads when there were no 00:41:12.500 --> 00:41:14.559 ads, but now there's suddenly ads. Almost like 00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:18.059 when I bought my Kindle, my reading system. It 00:41:18.059 --> 00:41:20.480 cost me like 30 quid to get the Kindle that has 00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:22.440 no ads on the screen. no ads please I'm trying 00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:23.920 to read I don't want fucking adverts popping 00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:27.679 up yeah thank you very much the sneaky fuckers 00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:31.500 where everything's fucking housebound so like 00:41:31.500 --> 00:41:34.300 Netflix and all of that is fucking is it knows 00:41:34.300 --> 00:41:36.980 like now we can't watch Netflix and shit because 00:41:36.980 --> 00:41:39.219 it knows that we ain't fucking living in the 00:41:39.219 --> 00:41:43.059 same place where we were pathetic behaviour it's 00:41:43.059 --> 00:41:45.940 interesting it's cool something that Steph will 00:41:45.940 --> 00:41:48.739 thoroughly enjoy though Yeah, yeah, I think it's 00:41:48.739 --> 00:41:50.800 decent because obviously Steph's got two Switches. 00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:51.940 We're definitely going to end up getting the 00:41:51.940 --> 00:41:54.679 Switch 2. You can't not. That's not what I meant. 00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:57.760 But something that Steph Wood is going to enjoy 00:41:57.760 --> 00:42:01.039 is they've released an app as well. So there's 00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:03.099 a Nintendo app you can download now. And every 00:42:03.099 --> 00:42:06.059 single day, they post stuff on there about games, 00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:08.400 new games, rah -da -rah -da -rah. Every day up 00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:10.860 until Nintendo Switch 2 comes out, they're going 00:42:10.860 --> 00:42:13.980 to be releasing Nintendo Switch 2 news. But what 00:42:13.980 --> 00:42:17.739 I am getting to is today... They announced on 00:42:17.739 --> 00:42:20.940 there a Zelda live -action film coming next year. 00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:26.039 Oh, very cool. Yes. That is very cool. So... 00:42:26.039 --> 00:42:29.440 My Nintendo. I believe that is the name. Is that 00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:32.159 what it's called? Have you got it? No, I didn't 00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:35.750 look at it. I just watched the direct. But yeah, 00:42:35.849 --> 00:42:38.130 so they've made a big announcement on there today 00:42:38.130 --> 00:42:41.949 that the Zelda film or a live action Zelda film 00:42:41.949 --> 00:42:44.849 will be out next year. Kind of big news. My Nintendo 00:42:44.849 --> 00:42:47.849 is not in the West. Nintendo's new app gave us 00:42:47.849 --> 00:42:53.010 another look at the... Do we get access to it? 00:42:53.349 --> 00:42:58.210 We will eventually. Confirmation comes... Be 00:42:58.210 --> 00:43:02.980 aware of this hub... But the big news, yeah, 00:43:02.980 --> 00:43:04.820 literally... Are you sure you didn't write these 00:43:04.820 --> 00:43:06.380 fucking articles? Because it's just saying the 00:43:06.380 --> 00:43:08.019 same shit that you literally just fucking said. 00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:10.179 Nintendo and Sony Pictures first made the massive 00:43:10.179 --> 00:43:12.360 announcement about a live -action Legend of Zelda 00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:18.219 in November 2023. Yeah, cool. And then, yeah, 00:43:18.260 --> 00:43:20.260 there's an app, blah, blah, blah. Who the fuck 00:43:20.260 --> 00:43:24.880 is going to play Link? Hold on. Oh, is it actually 00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:30.670 the name? The Legend of Zelda movie in a... With 00:43:30.670 --> 00:43:34.010 Wes Ball, the Maze Runner, Kingdom of the Planet 00:43:34.010 --> 00:43:37.030 of the Apes, set to direct, and Avi Arad and 00:43:37.030 --> 00:43:43.670 Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto producing. We know 00:43:43.670 --> 00:43:45.769 next to nothing about the movie itself, though. 00:43:45.809 --> 00:43:48.010 Ball has said he wants it to be live -action 00:43:48.010 --> 00:43:52.510 Miyazaki. Miyazaki? Miyazaki? Referencing beloved 00:43:52.510 --> 00:43:57.690 filmmaker... Miyazaki? Yeah. The Elden Ring man. 00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:05.019 I'd imagine so. Hayao Miyazaki. I'll copy that. 00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:09.320 The director of Studio Ghibli and creator of 00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:13.599 myriad anime classics such as My Neighbor Totoro, 00:44:13.739 --> 00:44:17.800 Howl's Moving Castle, and Spirited Away. Spirited 00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:20.780 Away? Still plans for the Zelda movie to be a 00:44:20.780 --> 00:44:24.320 serious adaptation. that feels real and has made 00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:27.320 clear he doesn't intend to use so much motion 00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:30.519 capture in the grounded film. Have you seen Spirited 00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:35.260 Away? No, mate. No. Sick. Very good film. Very 00:44:35.260 --> 00:44:39.380 weird. Miyazaki, he... Oh, yeah, he's just... 00:44:39.380 --> 00:44:41.780 I mean, I don't know anything about this person, 00:44:41.820 --> 00:44:43.579 so forgive me if anyone's listening and I sound 00:44:43.579 --> 00:44:45.800 very, like... I'm grateful as to who this person 00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:48.059 is. I'm sure they're fantastic. He's a Japanese 00:44:48.059 --> 00:44:50.860 animator, filmmaker, and manga artist. He co 00:44:50.860 --> 00:44:54.079 -founded Studio Ghibli and serves as its honorary 00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:56.900 chairman. So he's not the Mizaki that I know. 00:44:56.980 --> 00:45:01.139 No, but I'm sure in that world he is top tier. 00:45:01.900 --> 00:45:05.340 But yeah, there's no info yet as to who would... 00:45:05.340 --> 00:45:10.500 I don't know who you would have... casting as... 00:45:10.500 --> 00:45:12.980 This is what I mean. Who the fuck has come out 00:45:12.980 --> 00:45:16.099 with Jason Statham or Chris Pratt? Chris Pratt, 00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:19.199 I swear to God. That's what I would find annoying 00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:22.159 is when you get gaming adaptations like that 00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:23.500 when they turn them into live action but then 00:45:23.500 --> 00:45:29.019 you get not non -serious actors but really... 00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:32.760 high -end, like you've seen them before. They're 00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:36.159 quite comedic type. Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen. 00:45:36.260 --> 00:45:38.860 I just feel like it kind of pulls away. I feel 00:45:38.860 --> 00:45:41.840 like with that kind of shit, you want not unknown 00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:45.159 actors, but a little bit. I think you have to 00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:47.639 go unknown with something like that because he's 00:45:47.639 --> 00:45:50.019 going to have long hair and big ears. You can't 00:45:50.019 --> 00:45:52.599 go and stick elf ears on Jason Statham and long 00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:55.639 hair. No. It has to be a geezer that looks the 00:45:55.639 --> 00:45:58.340 part. Do you know what I mean? Just give it to 00:45:58.340 --> 00:45:59.599 fucking... But I mean, fucking World of War... 00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:01.440 Just give it to Henry Cavill. Just give everything 00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:03.340 to Henry Cavill. World of Warcraft had fucking 00:46:03.340 --> 00:46:07.260 Ragnar in it. Did it? Yeah. Oh, cool. Yeah. I've 00:46:07.260 --> 00:46:10.380 seen it. So... That good film? I really liked 00:46:10.380 --> 00:46:12.460 it. I reckon you would like it, yeah. Yeah, I 00:46:12.460 --> 00:46:13.579 reckon I would. I reckon you would like it. I 00:46:13.579 --> 00:46:15.039 did watch a film this week. I'll talk about it 00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:18.119 on the Patreon. Go for it. Right, yeah, no, there's 00:46:18.119 --> 00:46:22.460 nothing else. So, hopefully... When is that next 00:46:22.460 --> 00:46:26.320 weekend? What? The Nintendo... Yeah, no, next 00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:30.159 week. I think they said second, I believe. That's 00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:31.579 going to be all Switch 2 stuff, so I presume 00:46:31.579 --> 00:46:34.980 Switch 2 games. Hopefully a fucking release date. 00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:41.199 Blah, blah, blah. Yeah, I can't fucking... Obviously 00:46:41.199 --> 00:46:42.699 it's not going to tell me straight away, is it? 00:46:42.980 --> 00:46:45.300 All right. Yeah, sweet. So hopefully we'll have 00:46:45.300 --> 00:46:47.139 a little bit more info on that when we go back 00:46:47.139 --> 00:46:51.400 next week. I would have helped if I took Nintendo. 00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:54.579 2nd of April. 2nd of April. There you go. Wednesday, 00:46:54.699 --> 00:46:57.539 April 2nd at 2 o 'clock UK time. So we'll be 00:46:57.539 --> 00:47:00.519 able to fucking talk about that next week. Oh, 00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:02.860 yeah. Right. We're going to go and do the Patreon 00:47:02.860 --> 00:47:05.159 now then. Sweet. Find out about Ash's movie. 00:47:05.380 --> 00:47:07.199 Yeah, love you. See you later, everyone. Ooroo. 00:47:07.340 --> 00:47:07.539 Ooroo.
