WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.259
30 degrees, and I feel like a candle. Melting

00:00:06.259 --> 00:00:08.759
candle. I've never sweated so much in my life.

00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:12.019
It's horrible. You stink. I stink. I actually

00:00:12.019 --> 00:00:13.519
haven't smelt you, but I'm going to assume you

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:15.279
saying you stink means you stink. I'm making

00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:19.140
myself feel sick, so I definitely smell. Proper

00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:23.359
sweaty gamers. I love it. Yuck. You just won

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:25.460
a tenner. Well, yeah, technically. Google Play

00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:28.460
Points, boss. Boss. Yeah, pop that. Bit of the

00:00:28.460 --> 00:00:30.829
old mobile gaming. Yeah. We know what that's

00:00:30.829 --> 00:00:34.609
going on? No. Yeah? Yeah? You do? Yeah. What

00:00:34.609 --> 00:00:36.630
are you going to spend it? Oh, could be... Go

00:00:36.630 --> 00:00:39.810
on. Could be Into the Gungeon. Mobile version

00:00:39.810 --> 00:00:42.609
just came out. Yeah. Bang that out on the PlayStation

00:00:42.609 --> 00:00:45.289
over 100 hours, probably 200 hours on that. Into

00:00:45.289 --> 00:00:49.409
the Gungeon? Into the Gungeon. Why have I never

00:00:49.409 --> 00:00:51.770
heard of that? Yeah, that's got a couple of hundred

00:00:51.770 --> 00:00:54.689
hours on PlayStation for me. There it is, Enter

00:00:54.689 --> 00:00:56.729
the Gungeon. Just come out on mobile yesterday,

00:00:56.850 --> 00:00:58.609
funnily enough, and the full version is about

00:00:58.609 --> 00:01:01.259
eight quid, so I could go on that. Or it could

00:01:01.259 --> 00:01:04.200
go on Warhammer Tacticus, the next battle pass.

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:06.980
A bullet hell roguelike video game developed

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:09.959
by American studio Dodge Roll and published by...

00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:14.140
Set in the firearms themed Gungeon. Gameplay

00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:17.980
follows several player characters called Gungeonies

00:01:17.980 --> 00:01:20.739
as they traverse procedurally generated rooms

00:01:20.739 --> 00:01:24.200
to find a gun that can kill the past. I nearly

00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.000
platinumed that game. Yeah? Not far off of finishing.

00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.560
Why was it nearly and not fully? Some of the

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.340
last things I've got to do are very, you know.

00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:35.560
Tedious. No, they're just RNG. If they don't

00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.840
appear, I can't do it. Ah, I see. Yeah, one of

00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:40.840
them. That's quite cool. Yeah, it's a very cool

00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:42.859
game. I played a bit of it on my phone yesterday

00:01:42.859 --> 00:01:44.879
to see how I liked it, and I thought, do I want

00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:46.939
to start it from the very beginning? I'm actually

00:01:46.939 --> 00:01:50.319
playing a game on my phone, and I'm quite addicted

00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:54.719
to it at the moment. It is called, why don't

00:01:54.719 --> 00:02:01.989
you just tell me what the game is? Metal Storm.

00:02:02.450 --> 00:02:05.989
Never heard of it. It's basically fighter jets.

00:02:06.530 --> 00:02:09.009
Nice. Dogfighting. Nice, love that. But it's

00:02:09.009 --> 00:02:12.849
quite intuitive, quite easy to play, quite arcadey.

00:02:13.370 --> 00:02:16.189
And I'm really good at it. I can't work out if

00:02:16.189 --> 00:02:17.810
I'm playing against bots or not because some

00:02:17.810 --> 00:02:19.930
of the names that I'm playing against are very

00:02:19.930 --> 00:02:23.689
like, that's not a bot. You know what I mean?

00:02:24.270 --> 00:02:28.310
Yeah. So I'm quite liking it. I like it. That's

00:02:28.310 --> 00:02:34.719
about as far. Is there any point asking if you've

00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.060
played anything different to last week? I have,

00:02:37.060 --> 00:02:39.479
yeah. Have you? You have? I played something

00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.039
yesterday. Yeah? Yeah. Go on. Battlefield 6 beta

00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.439
yesterday, baby. That's not different at all.

00:02:45.819 --> 00:02:48.639
Did I play it last week? I didn't tell... I hadn't

00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:49.240
played it this time last week. Oh, you didn't

00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.439
play it, did you? No. You know what? I was quite

00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.139
conscious because I was like... Obviously, every

00:02:56.139 --> 00:03:00.090
time we do a podcast... upload it, all that bollocks.

00:03:00.250 --> 00:03:02.849
And I was like, I hate it when it looks like,

00:03:02.889 --> 00:03:08.569
so episode 142, Battlefield 6, and then a plethora

00:03:08.569 --> 00:03:10.669
of other things, Warhammer being one of them.

00:03:11.110 --> 00:03:15.710
Episode 143, Battlefield 6, Rogue Trader again.

00:03:16.610 --> 00:03:22.550
And then 144, Battlefield 6. However, I feel

00:03:22.550 --> 00:03:25.629
so, so my internal monologue sits there and thinks,

00:03:26.669 --> 00:03:28.889
People might be sick of Battlefield. We're not,

00:03:28.909 --> 00:03:32.830
is the truth of it. We're not sick of Battlefield.

00:03:33.110 --> 00:03:36.310
This is weekend number two of Battlefield 6.

00:03:36.629 --> 00:03:39.169
I didn't realise that it was also early access

00:03:39.169 --> 00:03:40.909
included, so I could have played it yesterday.

00:03:41.150 --> 00:03:43.650
Yeah, four days of it. 14, 15, 16, 17. Yeah,

00:03:43.669 --> 00:03:45.349
I fucked it up. I was going to text you. I thought,

00:03:45.389 --> 00:03:47.590
nah, he knows. No, I didn't know. I thought it

00:03:47.590 --> 00:03:49.729
was just for last week. You'd be running. Yeah,

00:03:49.729 --> 00:03:52.030
no, it's ridiculous. So I now know. Soz about

00:03:52.030 --> 00:03:53.930
that. So that means that I can play it again.

00:03:55.310 --> 00:03:57.789
I'll quickly go over it and then come back. But

00:03:57.789 --> 00:04:00.990
really difficult time for me because of the whale

00:04:00.990 --> 00:04:05.729
season. I mean, Raid come out on Wednesday. Is

00:04:05.729 --> 00:04:08.569
it bad? I just need to get out of this clothes.

00:04:09.750 --> 00:04:15.969
So trying to balance the two is quite a fucker.

00:04:16.170 --> 00:04:18.329
But what do you think? Because you didn't play

00:04:18.329 --> 00:04:22.230
it last week. I love it. Because you told me

00:04:22.230 --> 00:04:24.959
I'm not going to play it. I can even soundbite

00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:26.899
that. You told us that you ain't going to play

00:04:26.899 --> 00:04:29.480
it because, number one, because none of your

00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.879
progression carries over. And number two, because

00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.139
you know you're going to buy it regardless. So

00:04:34.139 --> 00:04:35.740
therefore, you weren't going to bother playing

00:04:35.740 --> 00:04:38.259
it. So what's the sudden change of heart? You

00:04:38.259 --> 00:04:40.759
can also soundbite the bit where it said there's

00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:42.439
loads of things to unlock in the main game. And

00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:46.540
I was like, oh yeah, I like stuff. So I'm doing

00:04:46.540 --> 00:04:48.759
the challenges. What do you mean? Well, it's

00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.220
stuff that you can unlock that when you get the

00:04:51.220 --> 00:04:54.480
game, it unlocks by playing the beta. oh is there

00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.639
yeah yeah there's challenges so skins and shit

00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.879
oh so I had I done I finished one yesterday which

00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:05.439
was fucking long it was get 300 spots yeah yeah

00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:07.699
yeah I don't even know what the button is to

00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:10.139
spot stuff no you don't there isn't one you just

00:05:10.139 --> 00:05:12.860
have to look at them ah through the scope what

00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:15.139
as a recon yeah that's a problem I don't play

00:05:15.139 --> 00:05:17.959
recon yeah but I've hacked it I found a fucking

00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.370
cheat go on I just, I was doing it properly for

00:05:21.370 --> 00:05:23.970
fucking ages and I was getting like three a game

00:05:23.970 --> 00:05:25.910
or something. It was just so long. I'm never

00:05:25.910 --> 00:05:28.490
going to do this. So I went on the fucking little

00:05:28.490 --> 00:05:31.250
TDM game mode, didn't I? Got one of them little

00:05:31.250 --> 00:05:34.730
fucking hacking, recon -y, drone -y things. Drones,

00:05:34.730 --> 00:05:37.310
yeah. Just whacked that on the floor. in like

00:05:37.310 --> 00:05:38.829
a place where there's going to be enemies and

00:05:38.829 --> 00:05:41.290
hide in a bathroom. And I just did that fucking

00:05:41.290 --> 00:05:43.449
for ages and it was just done it in about four

00:05:43.449 --> 00:05:46.350
games. So I've unlocked a ghillie suit skin.

00:05:46.550 --> 00:05:48.209
That's cool. And now I can actually play the

00:05:48.209 --> 00:05:49.589
game properly because I was just doing that to

00:05:49.589 --> 00:05:53.029
get that. Yeah. But no, I have played a couple

00:05:53.029 --> 00:05:56.149
of games with the assault rifle. I fully agree

00:05:56.149 --> 00:05:58.889
in what you're saying. It's fucking hard. I feel

00:05:58.889 --> 00:06:01.449
like I'm shooting people as much as they're shooting

00:06:01.449 --> 00:06:04.310
me and I'm dying. Yeah. I think the hit rate

00:06:04.310 --> 00:06:06.269
has just been off a little bit, man. I've hit

00:06:06.269 --> 00:06:10.470
people with a sniper relatively close in the

00:06:10.470 --> 00:06:12.209
head multiple times and they've just not even

00:06:12.209 --> 00:06:14.769
been touched. And I know there's like the fucking

00:06:14.769 --> 00:06:17.589
zero in the distances and shit like that. But

00:06:17.589 --> 00:06:19.970
yeah, not at that distance. Because a straight

00:06:19.970 --> 00:06:22.449
headshot kills him as well. There's no reviving,

00:06:22.449 --> 00:06:26.430
you're done. And I think it's a bit cheeky that

00:06:26.430 --> 00:06:29.269
you've got people running at you around the corner

00:06:29.269 --> 00:06:32.170
and you're hitting one in the chest from a sniper.

00:06:32.889 --> 00:06:35.269
like fucking 20 metres away, and they're like,

00:06:35.370 --> 00:06:37.790
yeah, sweet. Yeah, yeah. But I can shotgun someone

00:06:37.790 --> 00:06:39.649
from that range, and they're toast. Yeah, it's

00:06:39.649 --> 00:06:41.350
not enough to kill them. It's a fucking 50 -cal

00:06:41.350 --> 00:06:42.910
bullet, mate, going through your chest. Yeah,

00:06:42.910 --> 00:06:45.850
it's just absolutely perforated through your

00:06:45.850 --> 00:06:48.089
chest. But you're sweet, yeah. Yeah, you're all

00:06:48.089 --> 00:06:49.810
right. You're sweet, yeah. You're down to a third

00:06:49.810 --> 00:06:51.050
of your health, and then you can heal yourself

00:06:51.050 --> 00:06:53.829
back up. Yeah, you just slide along and pistol

00:06:53.829 --> 00:06:56.550
me sick. How's the... You know what? I saw a

00:06:56.550 --> 00:06:58.689
graph that compared all the movement between

00:06:58.689 --> 00:07:02.069
every single battlefield, and this is the slowest.

00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.860
movement that Battlefield has been. Which is

00:07:05.860 --> 00:07:07.500
odd because it definitely doesn't feel like that.

00:07:09.060 --> 00:07:13.339
And one thing that I'm really enjoying whenever

00:07:13.339 --> 00:07:16.540
I do jump on it is just playing the fucking objective.

00:07:16.779 --> 00:07:19.000
But is that because I'm so shit at getting kills?

00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.319
Because when I look at the leaderboard and I

00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.839
see some fucker at top who's got like 60 something

00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.279
kills and I think, how? How are you doing that?

00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.959
How has that happened? And I'm sat there with

00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.970
two. But what you'll notice is that they're fucking

00:07:34.970 --> 00:07:37.470
near the top and so is my ass because what am

00:07:37.470 --> 00:07:39.689
I doing? I'm reviving motherfuckers and I'm running

00:07:39.689 --> 00:07:41.629
for the objectives and I'm doing exactly what

00:07:41.629 --> 00:07:44.189
I'm supposed to be doing during the game. I like

00:07:44.189 --> 00:07:47.029
the fact that you can just fucking go anywhere

00:07:47.029 --> 00:07:49.230
pretty much. All the buildings you can go in.

00:07:49.290 --> 00:07:52.790
Yesterday I jumped up on a car, jumped up a railing

00:07:52.790 --> 00:07:54.750
into a building but the door wouldn't open so

00:07:54.750 --> 00:07:57.910
I was in a building and the top floor through

00:07:57.910 --> 00:08:00.709
a window I smashed but there was no other way

00:08:00.709 --> 00:08:03.069
up there. So I was sweet. I looked out the window.

00:08:03.129 --> 00:08:04.610
I heard the window next to me smash. Fucking

00:08:04.610 --> 00:08:07.050
enemy jumped in next to me. Decent. He started

00:08:07.050 --> 00:08:09.529
doing the little crouchy thing. So I did the

00:08:09.529 --> 00:08:11.529
little crouchy thing back and I shot his fucking

00:08:11.529 --> 00:08:14.209
head off. Yeah. Because I want that kill. Yeah.

00:08:14.310 --> 00:08:16.389
We're not friends, mate. He thought we were going

00:08:16.389 --> 00:08:18.269
to shoot out the window. Yeah, no chance. No

00:08:18.269 --> 00:08:21.250
chance. You're red. You're dead. Exactly. So

00:08:21.250 --> 00:08:23.550
yeah, that happened. But yeah, I love all that.

00:08:23.870 --> 00:08:26.730
I just love... Because I was playing a map yesterday.

00:08:26.810 --> 00:08:29.430
I played it twice in a row. And I come back on

00:08:29.430 --> 00:08:31.540
it and I was like, is this the same map? But

00:08:31.540 --> 00:08:34.200
obviously it is because when I was playing it,

00:08:34.259 --> 00:08:36.620
the area I was in was completely different because

00:08:36.620 --> 00:08:38.980
everyone had blown up the fucking building houses,

00:08:38.980 --> 00:08:41.340
front of the houses. It's just a crazy shit.

00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:45.179
I did actually clip something just there. I can't

00:08:45.179 --> 00:08:46.759
remember what it was, so I'll carry on talking

00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.080
while I'm looking. Yeah. Have you fucked around

00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.080
with any of the other classes, like medic or

00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:57.220
engineer? Only the assault rifle one and the

00:08:57.220 --> 00:08:59.320
sniper. I haven't done either of the other. No,

00:08:59.379 --> 00:09:00.740
you haven't run around with the old paddles.

00:09:01.700 --> 00:09:04.980
Nah. That's another thing, Battlefield 6 players.

00:09:05.580 --> 00:09:08.120
Fucking revive people, man. No, no, no, no, no,

00:09:08.139 --> 00:09:10.549
no, no. No, no, you're wrong. You're wrong in

00:09:10.549 --> 00:09:12.269
what you're saying. Okay. You said Battlefield

00:09:12.269 --> 00:09:14.909
6 players. They're not Battlefield players. They're

00:09:14.909 --> 00:09:16.629
COD players. Right, well, whoever is playing

00:09:16.629 --> 00:09:19.309
Battlefield 6, revive people, bruv. COD players

00:09:19.309 --> 00:09:20.230
are playing Battlefield 6. The amount of people

00:09:20.230 --> 00:09:22.850
that I'm shooting are... Absolute pussies. ...three

00:09:22.850 --> 00:09:25.169
metres away and they just walk past you. Yeah.

00:09:25.169 --> 00:09:27.610
There's no one here. Res me, man. Don't be a

00:09:27.610 --> 00:09:29.210
dick. Just pick me up. I know it takes five seconds,

00:09:29.289 --> 00:09:31.549
but just pick me up. I'm not even a fucking medic

00:09:31.549 --> 00:09:33.570
and I'm reviving people, bruv. Do you know what

00:09:33.570 --> 00:09:35.809
I mean? What I need to do as the medic is...

00:09:35.809 --> 00:09:39.840
Because I'm... I'm quite lethal at running around

00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:44.519
with the defibs and just literally... But I always

00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:47.120
forget that obviously you've got a much quicker

00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:49.759
revive when you go and grab someone. So I very

00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:51.919
rarely actually pick someone up. I always swap

00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.059
out from the gun to the defib and just zap them

00:09:54.059 --> 00:09:57.120
because it's instant. But I need to get into

00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.460
a habit of running over to someone and grabbing

00:09:59.460 --> 00:10:01.220
them because the animations for it is quite cool

00:10:01.220 --> 00:10:03.200
as well. Oh, I love it. You pick them up and

00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.860
then just fucking stab them. So fun. I much much

00:10:07.860 --> 00:10:11.000
prefer it to 2042 so far the amount of people

00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.799
on my friends list that are now playing 2042

00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:16.059
is funny yeah they're just like battlefield man

00:10:16.059 --> 00:10:19.679
just go yeah I nearly spent a lot of money um

00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.250
and I'm talking like 300 quid the other day just

00:10:23.250 --> 00:10:24.909
because I was sitting there thinking, well, I

00:10:24.909 --> 00:10:28.149
need to buy Battlefield 6, right? So I need to

00:10:28.149 --> 00:10:29.669
do that. That's probably the best part of a one

00:10:29.669 --> 00:10:31.190
-er. That's true. Might even buy the one -er

00:10:31.190 --> 00:10:34.350
edition because I'm a knob. And also, FIFA comes

00:10:34.350 --> 00:10:36.070
out in a couple of weeks and obviously I buy

00:10:36.070 --> 00:10:37.970
FIFA because I'm a knob and that's what I do.

00:10:38.169 --> 00:10:40.470
So that's another 100 quid and I also need a

00:10:40.470 --> 00:10:41.990
new controller. You're going to buy it? You're

00:10:41.990 --> 00:10:43.950
going to get the new FIFA, yeah? Yeah, man. I've

00:10:43.950 --> 00:10:47.129
got to carry on my Ipswich player, don't I? Was

00:10:47.129 --> 00:10:49.230
it Ipswich? I can't remember who I was. Was I

00:10:49.230 --> 00:10:51.029
Ipswich? No, you weren't Ipswich. Who the fuck

00:10:51.029 --> 00:10:53.610
was I? A Portsmouth. Portsmouth, that's wonderful.

00:10:53.990 --> 00:10:58.269
Pompey, play up. Pompey, Pompey, play up. Here

00:10:58.269 --> 00:11:02.669
we go. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Why did

00:11:02.669 --> 00:11:05.389
I click this? Let's have a look, shall we? Here

00:11:05.389 --> 00:11:09.470
I am laying in a bush doing nothing. I'm just

00:11:09.470 --> 00:11:11.309
getting loads of marks. Are you going to show

00:11:11.309 --> 00:11:13.509
me or are you just going to monologue over what's

00:11:13.509 --> 00:11:16.210
actually there? Oh, yeah, it was just a... Yeah,

00:11:16.269 --> 00:11:18.029
yeah, it's just Beamsville, isn't it? Yeah, have

00:11:18.029 --> 00:11:21.090
a look at that. What is it, snipers? Nah, nah,

00:11:21.110 --> 00:11:24.649
nah, not sniping. I had much cooler clips than

00:11:24.649 --> 00:11:28.309
this. Yeah, yeah. It looks so good, doesn't it?

00:11:30.809 --> 00:11:38.590
Oh, I know the area you're in. Bang, bang. that

00:11:38.590 --> 00:11:40.889
fucking little jeep, just shot the geyser out,

00:11:40.929 --> 00:11:42.769
the gunner seat of the car, and it just looks

00:11:42.769 --> 00:11:45.289
so sick, the way he like, ragdoll out the top

00:11:45.289 --> 00:11:47.529
of it, the geyser driving is obviously in third

00:11:47.529 --> 00:11:49.389
person view, so he's just going to see his gunner

00:11:49.389 --> 00:11:53.309
fall out, and then yeah, I've been in a tank,

00:11:53.370 --> 00:11:55.309
I haven't shot anything, but I've been in a tank,

00:11:55.350 --> 00:11:57.350
when we've been getting shot at, I've tried to

00:11:57.350 --> 00:11:59.909
stick a few C4s on the old, on the old tanks,

00:11:59.970 --> 00:12:01.230
and I used to love doing that on Battlefield

00:12:01.230 --> 00:12:04.110
4, running out, fucking C4ing them up and that,

00:12:04.230 --> 00:12:07.250
it's just nice, I just like, that's, because

00:12:07.250 --> 00:12:10.029
I'm, Not good at first -person shooters anymore.

00:12:10.570 --> 00:12:13.169
I've never been great, but the actual reaction

00:12:13.169 --> 00:12:15.370
speed is shit. Yeah, because you're quite old.

00:12:15.830 --> 00:12:18.789
Correct. Crusty, wrinkly. Exactly right. Slightly

00:12:18.789 --> 00:12:22.629
overweight. Much more than slightly these days.

00:12:23.169 --> 00:12:27.929
Just genuinely quite far gone. If you was a pack

00:12:27.929 --> 00:12:31.529
of ham, you'd probably be in the bin. Well out

00:12:31.529 --> 00:12:34.250
of date. Not even returnable. It's quite rough

00:12:34.250 --> 00:12:35.730
to see, really, because I've known you quite

00:12:35.730 --> 00:12:38.960
a while. I'm sad to see. Yeah, yeah. Carry on.

00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.840
Yeah, so I like to go for the objectives. You

00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.000
know what I mean? I'm not good at fucking close

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.679
quarters combat anymore. So I give myself a sense

00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:50.159
of achievement if I'm like, right, I'll look

00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.279
at a map and I'll find it. I'll go to the objectives.

00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.679
I'll be like, I like B. Yeah, yeah. So that's

00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.039
my goal. Yeah, I'm getting B. B is mine for the

00:12:58.039 --> 00:12:59.960
game though. Oh, you stay there the whole time?

00:12:59.980 --> 00:13:01.799
Oh, I'll capture it. Yeah, and then? And then

00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:04.320
I'll defend it. And then if I die, I keep going

00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.120
back. That's something that I never do. I always

00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:09.480
capture and disperse. Yeah, but then that B still

00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.399
needs to stay yours, right? So I just have it

00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.440
in my head that I'll pick a point that I like.

00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.639
And I'm staying. And that's mine. My mission

00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.080
in this game is to just hold that down. And then

00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.279
what will be, will be. But whether there's 12

00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:25.039
people on there or there's fucking one, I'll

00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:27.159
just keep going back and trying to get it back.

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.779
What a fantastic way to play. Because that's

00:13:29.779 --> 00:13:34.570
the objective. mindset of a battlefield player

00:13:34.570 --> 00:13:37.710
that is that is even if there's no one there

00:13:37.710 --> 00:13:40.490
fantastic because i'm defending yeah my life's

00:13:40.490 --> 00:13:42.830
easy this is exactly because do you don't you

00:13:42.830 --> 00:13:45.389
get points for sitting in a defense yeah i think

00:13:45.389 --> 00:13:47.029
so you definitely get more points if you kill

00:13:47.029 --> 00:13:48.750
someone while we're in the defense or shooting

00:13:48.750 --> 00:13:51.330
at them as well yeah yeah it's just that's just

00:13:51.330 --> 00:13:53.570
you're still doing your part yeah you might be

00:13:53.850 --> 00:13:55.830
camping so to speak but you're camping for a

00:13:55.830 --> 00:13:57.529
reason because your team needs a subjective yeah

00:13:57.529 --> 00:13:59.389
I wouldn't even say that it's camping you're

00:13:59.389 --> 00:14:01.070
defending yeah you're defending an objective

00:14:01.070 --> 00:14:03.529
or what me and Clark you like to call it in Call

00:14:03.529 --> 00:14:06.730
of Duty tactically waiting yeah a tactical wait

00:14:06.730 --> 00:14:10.429
in a house with a gun aimed at a point from a

00:14:10.429 --> 00:14:13.529
window yeah hide him what you would say is a

00:14:13.529 --> 00:14:16.409
vantage point tactically waiting at a vantage

00:14:16.409 --> 00:14:19.210
point so that's the way I play so yeah that's

00:14:19.210 --> 00:14:21.370
my battlefield I'm getting in it I can't wait

00:14:21.370 --> 00:14:24.289
there's a compass now in the HUD Yeah, there's

00:14:24.289 --> 00:14:26.190
a server browser as well, apparently. That's

00:14:26.190 --> 00:14:27.889
cool. I didn't look at it. I know people wanted

00:14:27.889 --> 00:14:30.970
it. Yeah, they added that in. I want to switch

00:14:30.970 --> 00:14:33.950
the compass on because it looks quite cool. It

00:14:33.950 --> 00:14:36.370
looks very clean. I'm not a massive fan of the

00:14:36.370 --> 00:14:41.250
map. The map's great, but the little mini -map,

00:14:41.370 --> 00:14:43.570
UAV thing, where you see the other players, I

00:14:43.570 --> 00:14:46.710
find it hard to tell what the enemies are and

00:14:46.710 --> 00:14:48.549
where they are because they keep popping up as

00:14:48.549 --> 00:14:50.250
red and then there's little arrows on them, but

00:14:50.250 --> 00:14:54.159
it's really finicky to see. But I love that when

00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.279
you hover over them on the map, you can see like

00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:58.240
a snapshot of where they are, like a screen of

00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.299
their view. Do you know what I mean? So you can

00:15:00.299 --> 00:15:02.720
see what they're doing. I always think that's

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.320
quite cool is when you die and you're waiting

00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:06.960
to respawn. And then, yeah, when you're hovering

00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:09.980
over someone who is a spawn point, someone in

00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:11.899
your squad or whatever. And then, yeah, you can

00:15:11.899 --> 00:15:14.159
see exactly what they're up to, who they're killing,

00:15:14.299 --> 00:15:16.759
what they're doing. I like all of that shit.

00:15:17.220 --> 00:15:19.559
It's quite cool. So, yeah, definitely getting

00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:21.769
it. That's all I have to say on the game. Who

00:15:21.769 --> 00:15:23.590
isn't getting it? Do you know how many clips?

00:15:24.029 --> 00:15:27.110
Obviously, my Instagram's just filled with Battlefield

00:15:27.110 --> 00:15:31.549
clips. And I love that it went from ages ago

00:15:31.549 --> 00:15:34.129
when the trailer come out and all those people,

00:15:34.210 --> 00:15:37.210
including ourselves, sitting there going, no

00:15:37.210 --> 00:15:40.370
pre -orders. Remember. You remember what they

00:15:40.370 --> 00:15:43.149
did to us. We ain't pre -ordering this. And now,

00:15:43.269 --> 00:15:45.750
every single person is going, I've already bought

00:15:45.750 --> 00:15:48.190
it. I've already bought it. And then the few

00:15:48.190 --> 00:15:50.649
people that sit there and they go, No pre -orders,

00:15:50.710 --> 00:15:52.610
remember? And then just the stream of comments

00:15:52.610 --> 00:15:54.549
underneath them going, it's too late. I've already

00:15:54.549 --> 00:15:56.629
given in. I don't care. It's already happened.

00:15:56.809 --> 00:15:58.750
I'm going to be one of them. Yeah. Well, this

00:15:58.750 --> 00:16:00.710
is the problem though, isn't it? Well, not the

00:16:00.710 --> 00:16:04.950
problem, but they learnt their lesson. The product

00:16:04.950 --> 00:16:08.529
was shit. This is much better. This is Battlefield.

00:16:08.710 --> 00:16:11.610
The other one was not Battlefield. In the state

00:16:11.610 --> 00:16:16.090
that it is as beta, if you were to clean up some

00:16:16.090 --> 00:16:19.590
of the bugs, of which I've met very few, and

00:16:19.590 --> 00:16:22.909
release this now as a full game with all the

00:16:22.909 --> 00:16:25.070
maps and all the modes and all the skins and

00:16:25.070 --> 00:16:28.090
everything like that, I would be satisfied. Because

00:16:28.090 --> 00:16:29.629
you know it's going to keep pumping out stuff.

00:16:29.789 --> 00:16:32.190
It's not just done, is it? And I feel like if

00:16:32.190 --> 00:16:35.009
you're at that point in the beta and so many

00:16:35.009 --> 00:16:37.809
people are enjoying it, then we're good to go.

00:16:37.950 --> 00:16:40.179
We're locked and loaded. As I always said, I

00:16:40.179 --> 00:16:42.759
just think the time frame for 2042 is just shit

00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.559
as well. 2042 is like you either need to go far

00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.340
future or you need to go like World War I. You

00:16:48.340 --> 00:16:51.240
can't go like 10, 15. It's just weird. Yeah,

00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:53.659
yeah. What are you on about? Go fucking sci -fi

00:16:53.659 --> 00:16:55.539
or don't. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:16:56.059 --> 00:16:58.620
So it's just grounded fucking military objective

00:16:58.620 --> 00:17:01.740
-based combat. Great. And let's hope they keep

00:17:01.740 --> 00:17:04.099
it that theme. So if they are going to do like

00:17:04.099 --> 00:17:06.099
crossovers, it's going to be things like fucking,

00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.910
I don't know, Terminator and not fucking... uh

00:17:08.910 --> 00:17:11.849
fucking i don't think they'll bother doing crossovers

00:17:11.849 --> 00:17:14.049
like that but they said they they said that if

00:17:14.049 --> 00:17:16.410
they're gonna do like skins and stuff it's gonna

00:17:16.410 --> 00:17:20.970
be like military themed yeah so you know as long

00:17:20.970 --> 00:17:23.089
as they're slight i don't know bruce willis die

00:17:23.089 --> 00:17:26.289
hard or anything that's not fucking you know

00:17:26.289 --> 00:17:28.450
spongebob squarepants or whatever the fuck they'd

00:17:28.450 --> 00:17:32.289
cod put in these days Battlefield 6 developers

00:17:32.289 --> 00:17:35.930
are prioritising a grounded and authentic approach

00:17:35.930 --> 00:17:39.049
to cosmetic skins focusing on military themed

00:17:39.049 --> 00:17:41.190
looks rather than the over the top crossover

00:17:41.190 --> 00:17:43.529
skins seen in games like Call of Duty. They want

00:17:43.529 --> 00:17:45.650
skins to feel like they belong in the Battlefield

00:17:45.650 --> 00:17:49.430
universe and are emphasising class identification

00:17:49.430 --> 00:17:53.109
with unique identifiers. While some more extravagant

00:17:53.109 --> 00:17:56.089
skins might be present, they will not be as outlandish

00:17:56.089 --> 00:17:59.920
as those found in other games. Yeah, which I

00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:03.589
think is... exactly what you and then yeah class

00:18:03.589 --> 00:18:05.750
identification skins will help players easily

00:18:05.750 --> 00:18:08.930
identify different classes with unique identifiers

00:18:08.930 --> 00:18:11.730
for each class e .g. free antennas for the recon

00:18:11.730 --> 00:18:14.190
class yeah and the ghillie skin that I've unlocked

00:18:14.190 --> 00:18:18.769
or whatever and then no crossovers they are voiding

00:18:18.769 --> 00:18:21.309
goofy crossover skins like those seen in other

00:18:21.309 --> 00:18:25.130
games at least at launch while the initial focus

00:18:25.130 --> 00:18:27.029
is on grounded skins the developers acknowledge

00:18:27.029 --> 00:18:29.789
that the future might bring more diverse options

00:18:29.789 --> 00:18:32.529
Battlefield Battlefield 6 will feature a Battle

00:18:32.529 --> 00:18:35.470
Pass, microtransactions, and a Battlefield Pro

00:18:35.470 --> 00:18:38.089
Token system similar to Call of Duty's Black

00:18:38.089 --> 00:18:42.089
Cell, according to a video by some YouTuber.

00:18:42.410 --> 00:18:45.210
In short, Battlefield 6 is prioritizing a more

00:18:45.210 --> 00:18:47.289
realistic and authentic aesthetic for its skins

00:18:47.289 --> 00:18:50.369
compared to some other popular shooters. Because

00:18:50.369 --> 00:18:55.210
that's what I think a lot... It's weird, man,

00:18:55.250 --> 00:18:58.210
because you've got that... It's very difficult

00:18:58.210 --> 00:19:01.559
to talk about it without... seeming like you're

00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:06.099
just slagging a player base off. But it's almost

00:19:06.099 --> 00:19:13.720
like the people that are more interested in Battle

00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:19.920
Royale games. How do I word it? Kids play Fortnite

00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:24.660
more than they do Apex Legends. Probably. H1Z1.

00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:28.720
Fucking PUBG. Yeah. You're more likely to have

00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:31.789
a child. I say a child, a teenager, whatever,

00:19:32.009 --> 00:19:34.789
a young adult, want to pick up something like

00:19:34.789 --> 00:19:37.769
Fortnite than PUBG. Because you can be toxic

00:19:37.769 --> 00:19:40.609
and dance on people. You can dance on people

00:19:40.609 --> 00:19:43.549
and there's cool skins. And that's not taking

00:19:43.549 --> 00:19:46.069
anything away from the skins. I want to emphasise,

00:19:46.069 --> 00:19:48.130
even with Call of Duty, the skins and everything,

00:19:48.349 --> 00:19:52.380
I enjoy them. I like them. The setting... said

00:19:52.380 --> 00:19:54.960
Skittons is what I don't enjoy and when it comes

00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:56.900
to something like I think Fortnite you do whatever

00:19:56.900 --> 00:19:58.740
the fuck you want that's a universe where you

00:19:58.740 --> 00:20:01.539
can be Spongebob you know what I mean that's

00:20:01.539 --> 00:20:05.279
absolutely fine in Call of Duty when I'm in Baghdad

00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:08.920
Spongebob Squarepants doesn't belong I think

00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:10.579
that should be I think that should be an acceptable

00:20:10.579 --> 00:20:12.940
statement I don't want to be Spongebob Squarepants

00:20:12.940 --> 00:20:15.160
with an AK -47 yeah well you look at Battlefield

00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.920
and you go this is fucking gorgeous for a fucking

00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.720
war torn war zone yeah Because it's disgusting.

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.859
Yeah. But it's fucking beautiful. And if you

00:20:25.859 --> 00:20:27.700
see a really colourful thing, you're going to

00:20:27.700 --> 00:20:29.640
be like, that is ridiculous. That makes absolutely

00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:33.400
no sense. I remember I actually had some fun

00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.240
with 2042 and it was with you. And I remember

00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.279
exactly where it was. I don't know what the map

00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:42.599
was. Actually, yes, I do. It was the one with

00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:47.359
like the big fucking Trump wall in between. And

00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.460
then there was like a building in the desert

00:20:49.460 --> 00:20:52.579
thing. no oh shit i know the one you're on about

00:20:52.579 --> 00:20:54.920
and then it had like rocks and mountains on one

00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:57.319
side and then the gardens we kept going to them

00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:00.299
rocks and mountains man and getting kills bruv

00:21:00.299 --> 00:21:02.900
we were getting mad kills and then the other

00:21:02.900 --> 00:21:04.779
side from them rocks and mountains was like a

00:21:04.779 --> 00:21:07.559
big tower you can zip up and stuff yeah i loved

00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:09.859
that but the problem was with that is that we

00:21:09.859 --> 00:21:13.009
did that map 15 times in a row And it was just

00:21:13.009 --> 00:21:14.890
no way about it. You just did it because you

00:21:14.890 --> 00:21:16.950
quit and you get chucked back in the same fucking

00:21:16.950 --> 00:21:19.829
lobby. There's just no way around it. I had fun

00:21:19.829 --> 00:21:22.849
in that game. But once again, yesterday, there's

00:21:22.849 --> 00:21:25.109
like geezers shooting me out a window. I've got

00:21:25.109 --> 00:21:26.789
a sniper rifle. There's not really much I can

00:21:26.789 --> 00:21:29.710
do. So what do I do? I go underneath him, chuck

00:21:29.710 --> 00:21:32.789
a couple C4 on the floor below him. Boom, the

00:21:32.789 --> 00:21:35.230
whole fucking front of the building falls down.

00:21:35.860 --> 00:21:37.680
That's just epic, man. You know what I mean?

00:21:38.579 --> 00:21:40.599
That's just so cool. I don't know if he died

00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:42.660
or not, but it looked fucking good. And I might

00:21:42.660 --> 00:21:44.039
have even killed myself in the rubble. I don't

00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:46.220
know. Who cares? It was great. It was fun. It

00:21:46.220 --> 00:21:48.359
was great. And that's what it's about, man. I

00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:51.640
can't wait. This is what Battlefield 2042 should

00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:54.279
have been. And this is what Battlefield... My

00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:56.380
first foray into Battlefield was Battlefield

00:21:56.380 --> 00:21:59.779
4. And I still maintain that might be the funnest

00:21:59.779 --> 00:22:01.880
time I've ever had in a multiplayer game. Yeah,

00:22:01.900 --> 00:22:05.029
agreed. Because Battlefield 2042 wasn't... it

00:22:05.029 --> 00:22:10.190
wasn't a bad game i think it just it it was one

00:22:10.190 --> 00:22:13.990
of those where everyone was so incredibly hyped

00:22:13.990 --> 00:22:17.230
to play it and the trailers and everything were

00:22:17.230 --> 00:22:20.450
immense so everyone was so excited and then it

00:22:20.450 --> 00:22:24.849
come out and it was fantastic for a short while

00:22:24.849 --> 00:22:27.849
and then it just it just disintegrated there

00:22:27.849 --> 00:22:30.369
wasn't there wasn't enough content being added

00:22:30.369 --> 00:22:35.200
like you said that The map variety was non -existent.

00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:37.220
You were playing the same maps over and over

00:22:37.220 --> 00:22:40.200
and over again. There were bugs. And it just

00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:42.660
fell short. But for the time that we were playing

00:22:42.660 --> 00:22:46.440
it, for the month that we were playing it, amazing.

00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:49.380
Loved it. Especially those first two weeks. I

00:22:49.380 --> 00:22:52.640
was like, this is fucking sick. And I found my

00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:55.339
class. It was the one where we had the wingsuit.

00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:57.700
I can't remember what it was. And you could fly

00:22:57.700 --> 00:22:59.420
around and shit like that. And it was a very,

00:22:59.460 --> 00:23:02.109
very fun game. But like you say, Dropping into

00:23:02.109 --> 00:23:04.549
the same map every single time and then playing

00:23:04.549 --> 00:23:07.289
exactly the same way, doing the same things and

00:23:07.289 --> 00:23:08.589
having the same outcome. No destruction, man.

00:23:08.930 --> 00:23:11.089
That's the big one for me. No destruction. You

00:23:11.089 --> 00:23:13.210
ain't got destruction on Battlefield. But the

00:23:13.210 --> 00:23:18.750
destruction in Battlefield 6 is fantastic. It's

00:23:18.750 --> 00:23:24.390
so good because it makes you think in a way that

00:23:24.390 --> 00:23:28.009
is destructive. And I've done it. Someone's in

00:23:28.009 --> 00:23:30.829
a building and like you just said, I can't get

00:23:30.829 --> 00:23:33.569
to them. So I'm going to take the building. I'm

00:23:33.569 --> 00:23:34.769
going to take the building away from you, or

00:23:34.769 --> 00:23:36.750
at least the front of it. You're hiding behind

00:23:36.750 --> 00:23:39.470
a door. The door goes. If I can't get you, I'm

00:23:39.470 --> 00:23:41.569
getting the door. That is exactly, or like I

00:23:41.569 --> 00:23:43.930
said last week, where there was a literal door

00:23:43.930 --> 00:23:46.670
in front of me, and all I had was an RPG. I sent

00:23:46.670 --> 00:23:49.150
the RPG through it, got rid of the door, and

00:23:49.150 --> 00:23:52.990
now we can all go through. Isn't that nice? And

00:23:52.990 --> 00:23:57.099
it's the fact that that stays how it is. which

00:23:57.099 --> 00:24:00.380
makes it even more fun. There's just craters

00:24:00.380 --> 00:24:03.839
and shit everywhere. You can lay down and use

00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:06.180
a crater in the floor for cover that was created

00:24:06.180 --> 00:24:09.619
by an explosion. That's dynamic. That's like

00:24:09.619 --> 00:24:13.220
real Warzone shit. That's how the combat should

00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:16.039
be in them sort of games. I'm gobsmacked no one's

00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:19.059
done it other than Battlefield. Battlefield 4,

00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:22.480
I was a COD gamer. Not really, but I used to

00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:24.380
like COD. I used to play a lot of COD. Back when

00:24:24.380 --> 00:24:27.549
COD was really good, though. And Clarky was always

00:24:27.549 --> 00:24:28.849
going on about it. I think he played Battlefield

00:24:28.849 --> 00:24:30.690
Bad Company 2 or something. He was like, this

00:24:30.690 --> 00:24:33.210
is great. Then Battlefield 4 came out and he

00:24:33.210 --> 00:24:34.910
was banging on about that. I was like, oh, I'll

00:24:34.910 --> 00:24:37.069
fucking give it a go. And then I played it and

00:24:37.069 --> 00:24:40.470
it was the first multiplayer game other than

00:24:40.470 --> 00:24:44.009
COD 4, I think, that I would consistently just

00:24:44.009 --> 00:24:47.890
play on my own for hours and hours and hours.

00:24:48.349 --> 00:24:51.549
And I absolutely fucking loved it. And me and

00:24:51.549 --> 00:24:53.130
Clarky had a lot of competition because there

00:24:53.130 --> 00:24:56.579
was a Battlefield app as well. And we'd have

00:24:56.579 --> 00:24:59.220
a competition of who could get the furthest snipe.

00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:02.299
And we were going stupid, mate. I mean, like

00:25:02.299 --> 00:25:05.440
2 ,000 metres and stuff where you can't even...

00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:07.519
You'd shoot and then it'd be like three seconds.

00:25:08.140 --> 00:25:10.680
And you'd be like, oh, fuck. You'd go on the

00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:13.079
app, it hasn't updated yet. I've beat it, I've

00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.119
beat it by like three metres and that. And we

00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:17.940
just kept going for so long on that game. And

00:25:17.940 --> 00:25:20.559
yeah, just great fucking memories. So far, you

00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:23.000
can't even see the person. I used to have so

00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:26.019
many clips on my PS4, which I haven't got anymore.

00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:28.140
Same. I think they're actually on my Facebook

00:25:28.140 --> 00:25:30.480
from years ago. And that's the only trace of

00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:32.859
them I've got where I used to love being a sniper,

00:25:32.900 --> 00:25:36.059
man. Absolutely love it. But I would, I'd never

00:25:36.059 --> 00:25:38.759
like zero in the scope or anything like that.

00:25:38.819 --> 00:25:40.839
I'd just stick with the default. And so you just

00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:44.460
have me aiming all the way up and just. sending

00:25:44.460 --> 00:25:47.680
it and um exactly that i've definitely got i

00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:50.359
don't know how far it was but i have a clip where

00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:53.519
you can't even see what is there and all and

00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:55.519
the only i think the only reason i knew someone

00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:57.500
was there was because they were shooting at me

00:25:57.500 --> 00:25:59.640
and it was just a case of who's gonna get who

00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:02.140
first and it was always a headshot yeah it was

00:26:02.140 --> 00:26:04.079
never never a body shot or anything like it was

00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.119
always always lying down both of you were lying

00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:10.049
down yeah and then you're like all right yeah

00:26:10.049 --> 00:26:13.069
fuck is it my turn yeah it's great it's mad I

00:26:13.069 --> 00:26:15.490
love it I absolutely love it it zooms in on their

00:26:15.490 --> 00:26:17.849
red body like miles away I mean there's a problem

00:26:17.849 --> 00:26:20.609
at the moment with the beta where there's just

00:26:20.609 --> 00:26:23.250
every fuckers being a recon so you've just got

00:26:23.250 --> 00:26:26.789
snipers everywhere but at the same time that's

00:26:26.789 --> 00:26:29.130
what that's the freedom of choice you can do

00:26:29.130 --> 00:26:30.650
whatever you want sniping in that game is not

00:26:30.650 --> 00:26:34.049
fucking easy no it's hard so when someone bangs

00:26:34.049 --> 00:26:36.269
me I'm like respect because that's fucking tough

00:26:37.190 --> 00:26:39.309
I haven't I say I want to actually play like

00:26:39.309 --> 00:26:41.450
an infantry I just want to be running around

00:26:41.450 --> 00:26:43.589
with an AR and shit and see because I have done

00:26:43.589 --> 00:26:45.089
it a couple of times but I haven't really give

00:26:45.089 --> 00:26:47.650
it much time a day but now I've done the sniping

00:26:47.650 --> 00:26:49.690
challenge I can just fuck about and I just wanted

00:26:49.690 --> 00:26:52.750
that skin but yeah that's should we stop talking

00:26:52.750 --> 00:26:54.009
about Battlefield otherwise this will be the

00:26:54.009 --> 00:26:55.809
whole episode it's the best day of the year by

00:26:55.809 --> 00:26:58.210
the way why if you're unaware because football

00:26:58.210 --> 00:27:01.210
season is back today yeah officially first game

00:27:01.210 --> 00:27:03.809
first Premier League game tonight I think it's

00:27:03.809 --> 00:27:08.930
Liverpool versus somebody Liverpool versus Bournemouth.

00:27:10.990 --> 00:27:13.710
Who's West Ham player? We've got Sunderland tomorrow.

00:27:14.190 --> 00:27:16.329
Oh. Yeah, I know. We're going to lose because

00:27:16.329 --> 00:27:17.650
it's the first game of the season. They've just

00:27:17.650 --> 00:27:19.769
come up. I hope they have just come up. And I'm

00:27:19.769 --> 00:27:22.150
at my mate's barbecue, so I'm going to get laughed

00:27:22.150 --> 00:27:24.230
out of the house. Do you reckon, yeah? If we're

00:27:24.230 --> 00:27:26.529
2 -0 down by half -time, I'm going home. Where's

00:27:26.529 --> 00:27:29.130
your faith? Where's your... West Ham family.

00:27:29.230 --> 00:27:31.789
Very little of it. My dreams, they fade and die.

00:27:32.690 --> 00:27:36.359
Fortune is always hiding. So, yeah, I'm very

00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:38.880
excited that the football season's back. I'm

00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:42.819
very, very, very excited that the football season's

00:27:42.819 --> 00:27:44.779
back. Did you play any of the beta with FIFA?

00:27:46.339 --> 00:27:49.680
What do you mean? I swear there was a beta with

00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:56.319
FIFA 26. EAFC 26. Sorry, EAFC 26. There is no

00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:59.240
beta for FIFA, no. No? There was trailers, the

00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:01.900
gameplay reveal and carrier mode reveal, but...

00:28:02.059 --> 00:28:05.619
It's football, man. Has much changed other than

00:28:05.619 --> 00:28:07.599
the fucking teams? I don't play fucking ultimate

00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:09.819
team no more, so I just play fucking career mode.

00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:12.500
They finally put some stuff in career mode like,

00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:16.880
I don't know, just football nerd shit that makes

00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:18.240
it more appealing. Do you know what I mean? You

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:20.220
can look back previous seasons, people's stats

00:28:20.220 --> 00:28:22.819
and stuff. Stuff like that matters, you know

00:28:22.819 --> 00:28:25.299
what I mean? So more cut scenes, more fucking

00:28:25.299 --> 00:28:27.220
storylines. It's almost like a football manager

00:28:27.220 --> 00:28:29.900
type. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaking of football

00:28:29.900 --> 00:28:33.640
manager, Football Manager 26 actually put a mini

00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:35.960
trailer out the other day saying, you know, it's

00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:37.759
coming. Because people were just like, it doesn't

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:39.839
even exist at this point. And interestingly,

00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:42.640
they put out a trailer. It didn't show nothing,

00:28:42.819 --> 00:28:45.700
but the match day coming soon. But it's in like,

00:28:45.859 --> 00:28:48.720
the match engine looked like fucking FIFA. So

00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:50.380
I don't know if they've just, because they've

00:28:50.380 --> 00:28:52.059
had like two years to work on this. And they

00:28:52.059 --> 00:28:53.619
said they were going to rebuild the game from

00:28:53.619 --> 00:28:55.559
the ground up for the first time since fucking

00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:59.640
day dot. So I'm excited to see what the fuck.

00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:02.940
I'm worried. as well because if they've gone

00:29:02.940 --> 00:29:05.279
too stupid with a match engine, I'm not sure

00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:06.880
how fucking much. What do you mean by stupid?

00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:09.259
Well, if it's gone too fucking graphically heavy,

00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:11.599
it's going to make it really hard to run because

00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:16.559
Football Manager is quite slow in general because

00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:19.920
the amount of data in it is insane. Yeah. So

00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:22.960
sometimes you need a bit of a powerful bit of

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.740
kit to run it. But if they've beefed up the match

00:29:26.740 --> 00:29:28.960
engine something crazy, it's going to be like...

00:29:29.130 --> 00:29:30.710
It's going to be mental. I don't even know if

00:29:30.710 --> 00:29:33.410
computers are going to be running it smooth or

00:29:33.410 --> 00:29:35.289
not. But we ain't seen it yet. We'll have to

00:29:35.289 --> 00:29:37.839
wait and see what they're coming out with. move

00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:42.180
to Unity Engine FIFA Manager 26 will be the first

00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:44.380
football manager title to run on the Unity Engine

00:29:44.380 --> 00:29:47.839
promising significant graphical upgrades and

00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:49.519
more realistic player movements and animations

00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:52.779
the game will feature a fully licensed Premier

00:29:52.779 --> 00:29:56.259
League including updated squads kits and stadium

00:29:56.259 --> 00:29:58.059
details I didn't know that that's the first time

00:29:58.059 --> 00:30:01.559
they've done that according to allkeyshop .com

00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:07.059
introduction of women's football Tactical revamp.

00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:10.299
Expect new player roles and customisation options

00:30:10.299 --> 00:30:13.460
for formations. Players will have more control

00:30:13.460 --> 00:30:16.579
over how their team plays both in and out of

00:30:16.579 --> 00:30:20.279
possession. Enhanced match day experience. Sports

00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:22.680
Interactive is aiming for a more immersive and

00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:25.259
visually rich experience, promising more fluid

00:30:25.259 --> 00:30:27.859
player movements, organic reactions and detailed

00:30:27.859 --> 00:30:34.519
stadiums. A leaked file from FMDB website. I

00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:38.140
suggest the possibility of over 40 new or renamed

00:30:38.140 --> 00:30:40.960
player roles offering even more tactical depth.

00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:47.240
Normally, the only game I've ever modded is you

00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:52.079
have to import all the player faces, badges for

00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:53.599
clubs, kids. It doesn't come to PlayStation.

00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:59.029
No, it's PC, isn't it? Or Xbox as well. Well,

00:30:59.049 --> 00:31:00.829
yeah, they've got, like, console editions, but

00:31:00.829 --> 00:31:02.430
they're not the same. They're always, like, dumbed

00:31:02.430 --> 00:31:04.769
-down versions of them. Hopefully, this one's

00:31:04.769 --> 00:31:07.190
going to be more fucking... Hopefully, it ain't

00:31:07.190 --> 00:31:08.630
going to be like that, and they are going to

00:31:08.630 --> 00:31:10.769
be more... Football Manager 25 was cancelled.

00:31:11.369 --> 00:31:13.970
Yeah. Due to not meeting the quality standards

00:31:13.970 --> 00:31:16.509
the developers aimed for, with a focus shifting

00:31:16.509 --> 00:31:20.049
to ensure FM26 delivers a polished experience.

00:31:20.289 --> 00:31:22.349
Because they always... They've always released

00:31:22.349 --> 00:31:24.250
their games in November. Got to fucking November

00:31:24.250 --> 00:31:27.420
last year. And they were like, nah, it's not

00:31:27.420 --> 00:31:29.960
coming. We need until February. And then it was

00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:31.200
like, oh, we need a bit longer. And it was like,

00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:33.519
well, by the time you release this game, the

00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:35.220
season's going to be over. Everything needs updating.

00:31:35.779 --> 00:31:38.039
So they, yeah, just went, we'll just wipe that

00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:39.559
one clear. So they've had two years to work on

00:31:39.559 --> 00:31:42.539
this. It's going to be a madness. Yeah, FM25

00:31:42.539 --> 00:31:45.839
is a major leap forward for the series, promising

00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:47.940
a more immersive and visually rich experience

00:31:47.940 --> 00:31:50.400
than ever before. The introduction of women's

00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:52.460
football and the move to the Unity engine are

00:31:52.460 --> 00:31:55.099
particularly anticipated features, given the

00:31:55.099 --> 00:31:57.940
cancellation of FM25 to ensure a higher quality

00:31:57.940 --> 00:32:03.119
product. That'd be quite weird, though. What?

00:32:04.539 --> 00:32:08.000
Like, if you've got... You've got a whole roster

00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:10.000
where you are one of those games where you just

00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:11.839
release one every single year because it follows

00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:14.759
a season and then just not having one. And then

00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:16.259
when someone questions it, they go, yeah, because

00:32:16.259 --> 00:32:20.819
we were really shit. So that season we weren't

00:32:20.819 --> 00:32:23.240
able to do because we really fucked it. But then

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:26.720
they were rebuilding the entire game. Yeah, I'd

00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:29.000
imagine moving it to an entirely different engine

00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:31.140
is quite different. Can you imagine the amount

00:32:31.140 --> 00:32:33.660
of players on there? And when you click on a

00:32:33.660 --> 00:32:39.420
player like Mark Noble, age height stats place

00:32:39.420 --> 00:32:44.799
of birth fucking people that he's played with

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:48.680
trophies that he's won clubs he's played for

00:32:48.680 --> 00:32:52.140
numbers of appearances like the list goes on

00:32:52.140 --> 00:32:54.880
and that's just for one player and they do that

00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:57.299
across every player in world football that is

00:32:57.299 --> 00:32:59.579
known and now they're doing it with women can

00:32:59.579 --> 00:33:01.980
you imagine and them stats have to be updated

00:33:01.980 --> 00:33:04.940
and seem realistic there's football managers

00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:09.319
Sky Sports last year, year before. And they've

00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:13.259
used Football Manager to scout players for stats.

00:33:13.299 --> 00:33:14.619
Oh, because it's got all the... Because it's

00:33:14.619 --> 00:33:17.279
so accurate. It's so fucking accurate. They can

00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:19.759
pull out wonder kids that people don't even know

00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:21.500
about at the moment. And you're like, wow, this

00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:24.200
kid's good. This 17 -year -old from Brazil in

00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:26.660
Flamengo. And then you Google him and be like,

00:33:26.700 --> 00:33:28.319
oh, yeah, no, he is really good. I've never heard

00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:31.500
of him before. It's mental. I don't know how

00:33:31.500 --> 00:33:35.089
they do it. They've got scouts in every single

00:33:35.089 --> 00:33:37.450
fucking club and country in the world. It's amazing.

00:33:38.009 --> 00:33:41.089
The game also allows players to see data presented

00:33:41.089 --> 00:33:44.069
as graphs and pitch maps mirroring the ways in

00:33:44.069 --> 00:33:47.470
which data analysts present their work to managers

00:33:47.470 --> 00:33:51.009
in real life. Mostly the data is realistic and

00:33:51.009 --> 00:33:53.049
strives for accuracy, but a few things have been

00:33:53.049 --> 00:33:55.190
sacrificed in order to make the game more enjoyable.

00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:01.500
The match engine, the giant computer underneath

00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:04.359
alone, has two to three million lines of code,

00:34:04.500 --> 00:34:06.380
which should already give you an idea of how

00:34:06.380 --> 00:34:09.960
complex it is. Every attribute is used in the

00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:13.599
ME, and most actions use at least... Match engine.

00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:15.599
Oh, sorry, match engine. That's what it means,

00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:17.719
I'm just saying. And most actions use at least

00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:20.739
three to four attributes, whatever affects the

00:34:20.739 --> 00:34:24.760
match engine. So think about shorter passes through

00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:27.440
the middle on a muddy pitch, etc. Bloody, bloody,

00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.409
blah, blah, blah. yeah so you've got you've got

00:34:30.409 --> 00:34:33.010
22 players playing against each other they've

00:34:33.010 --> 00:34:35.469
all got stats and then the match engine has to

00:34:35.469 --> 00:34:38.710
create a realistic looking game of football using

00:34:38.710 --> 00:34:42.389
them stats visually with the players and you

00:34:42.389 --> 00:34:45.869
know have it like work against it it's incredible

00:34:45.869 --> 00:34:48.690
to really sound so simple when you just think

00:34:48.690 --> 00:34:50.369
of oh yeah it's just football you're not even

00:34:50.369 --> 00:34:52.309
playing that's the go -to for people they've

00:34:52.309 --> 00:34:53.650
never played football manager why do you want

00:34:53.650 --> 00:34:55.989
to play you're not even playing but it's so much

00:34:55.989 --> 00:34:58.679
better than any football game bro It'll eat your

00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.039
fucking life. That's why I've always had to stay

00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:03.519
away from it. The game includes a realistic financial

00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:06.280
model requiring players to manage budgets, negotiate

00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:10.559
contracts and handle club finances. Players can

00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:12.579
nurture young talent through the youth academy,

00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:18.260
developing the next generation of stars. It's

00:35:18.260 --> 00:35:19.800
mad, isn't it? Everyone's got their story of

00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:21.280
their own wonder kids that come through their

00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:23.639
academy and then they went on to bang 30 goals

00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:26.440
and win them the league. It's a crazy game. You

00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:29.380
spent your entire budget on one star player only

00:35:29.380 --> 00:35:31.699
for him to do his cruciate ligaments in pre -season

00:35:31.699 --> 00:35:35.219
to be out for eight months. Everyone's got stories,

00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:38.800
man. Great game. One of the best games ever made,

00:35:38.860 --> 00:35:44.980
for sure. How much data is in Football Manager?

00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:51.079
Let's see where that comes up. I don't want a

00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:56.139
new tab. I'm not interested. Yeah, it's just,

00:35:56.179 --> 00:35:59.579
it's a mad amount of detail. And like you say,

00:35:59.739 --> 00:36:05.219
so every season, so it's almost like if you release

00:36:05.219 --> 00:36:09.699
Football Manager 26, you've almost instantly

00:36:09.699 --> 00:36:11.860
got to start working on Football Manager 27.

00:36:13.019 --> 00:36:18.760
Because, so Football Manager 26 focuses on obviously

00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:22.800
the last season in terms of stats and everything.

00:36:24.269 --> 00:36:27.230
Well, yeah, but yeah, so I guess so. The current

00:36:27.230 --> 00:36:29.210
player base of what they're at at the moment.

00:36:29.409 --> 00:36:33.690
So the game will start. Is it up to date to the

00:36:33.690 --> 00:36:36.989
point of the season just gone? Yeah, so the game

00:36:36.989 --> 00:36:40.050
will start. If the game comes out November, the

00:36:40.050 --> 00:36:42.349
game will start. You can choose when to start

00:36:42.349 --> 00:36:44.750
really, but naturally it will probably start

00:36:44.750 --> 00:36:49.750
in like June of this year. So before this season

00:36:49.750 --> 00:36:51.929
begins and then you'll have the transfer window.

00:36:52.829 --> 00:36:54.349
And all the players will still be where they

00:36:54.349 --> 00:36:57.150
was at that time. Right. I see. I see. But they've

00:36:57.150 --> 00:36:59.570
got like new things in where you can like update

00:36:59.570 --> 00:37:01.889
it. So like any transfers that have happened

00:37:01.889 --> 00:37:04.769
since the season started. It's almost like a

00:37:04.769 --> 00:37:06.590
real time. Yeah. You can have it all like that.

00:37:06.650 --> 00:37:08.869
Yeah. Fucking hell. It's a madness. So there'll

00:37:08.869 --> 00:37:11.849
be people there that are just, I wonder how many

00:37:11.849 --> 00:37:14.050
people they've got doing that. Just updating.

00:37:14.389 --> 00:37:16.289
Yeah. Constantly. What do you think? The transfer

00:37:16.289 --> 00:37:18.070
window's still open, mate. People are still moving

00:37:18.070 --> 00:37:20.590
all over the place. So, it's a lot of fucking

00:37:20.590 --> 00:37:22.650
shit to know and keep up with and change and

00:37:22.650 --> 00:37:24.429
I don't even know how they do it. I thought transfer

00:37:24.429 --> 00:37:26.309
windows, I don't really know much about it, but

00:37:26.309 --> 00:37:28.510
I thought transfer windows stopped before the

00:37:28.510 --> 00:37:30.789
season starts. I thought that was a whole point

00:37:30.789 --> 00:37:33.909
of a window. Nah, nah, they used to and now it

00:37:33.909 --> 00:37:35.610
goes like a month into the season. I don't know

00:37:35.610 --> 00:37:38.090
when it ends nowadays. It changes all the time.

00:37:38.150 --> 00:37:40.969
So, when that ends in terms of like moving to

00:37:40.969 --> 00:37:46.179
another club, you can't, you're done. Yeah, kind

00:37:46.179 --> 00:37:48.079
of. Or is that where the buyout clause is coming

00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:50.719
in? No. No? No, it's just different countries

00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:52.699
have different windows. So if a country's open,

00:37:52.820 --> 00:37:55.000
windows open in another country, sometimes you

00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:57.719
can still do the deal. And then it depends. If

00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:00.360
you're a free agent, you can go anytime. And

00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:02.139
there's all sorts of different fucking... Is

00:38:02.139 --> 00:38:03.800
that if you're not part of a club? If you're

00:38:03.800 --> 00:38:05.860
a free agent? Yeah, your contract's run out.

00:38:05.940 --> 00:38:07.840
Like Mikel Antonio for West Ham, his contract's

00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:10.500
run out. Does he still play for West Ham? No,

00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:12.179
his contract's gone. He's a free agent. Anyone

00:38:12.179 --> 00:38:17.239
can sign him. there's a whole world it's quite

00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:19.059
funny to be honest because now he's on telly

00:38:19.059 --> 00:38:21.719
saying there's no loyalty in football and it's

00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:27.340
like well there is because you broke both your

00:38:27.340 --> 00:38:29.539
legs last year in a car accident in a car that

00:38:29.539 --> 00:38:33.480
you was driving and West Ham paid for your rehabilitation

00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:37.219
and let you train at the club while you were

00:38:37.219 --> 00:38:39.559
still under contract and still paid you all your

00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:43.320
huge amount of wages while you wasn't fit to

00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:46.550
play and now you've come to the end of your contract,

00:38:46.590 --> 00:38:49.210
and they've still offered you a deal, but it

00:38:49.210 --> 00:38:51.510
was a pay -as -you -play deal, so he gets like

00:38:51.510 --> 00:38:54.170
six grand a week basic wage, but if he plays

00:38:54.170 --> 00:38:56.969
just one minute... Oh, no, not six grand a week.

00:38:56.969 --> 00:38:59.409
He gets like 100 grand a week if he makes like

00:38:59.409 --> 00:39:01.650
one minute worth of appearance. If he comes on

00:39:01.650 --> 00:39:03.610
as a sub in the 90th minute, he'll still make

00:39:03.610 --> 00:39:07.679
100 grand. What, for that one... yeah so anytime

00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:09.860
he appears on the pitch for West Ham he'd make

00:39:09.860 --> 00:39:13.139
100 grand say fuck me so yeah but obviously that

00:39:13.139 --> 00:39:15.599
deal wasn't good enough so he's like nah nah

00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:17.539
I'm not I'm not gonna sign that because you know

00:39:17.539 --> 00:39:20.099
I'm worth more than that but you're 35 years

00:39:20.099 --> 00:39:22.599
old or something you've just broke both your

00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:26.039
legs normally people at 35 or that around about

00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:28.659
that age are starting to retire you still wanna

00:39:28.659 --> 00:39:31.059
carry on fair play but you've just broke both

00:39:31.059 --> 00:39:33.820
your legs which West Ham have rehabilitated you

00:39:33.820 --> 00:39:36.590
for and still offered you a contract Very generously,

00:39:36.590 --> 00:39:39.030
in my opinion. And you're saying there's no loyalty

00:39:39.030 --> 00:39:41.829
in football. Well, hold on. Five, six years ago,

00:39:41.909 --> 00:39:44.949
you wanted to go Chelsea. So, do you know what

00:39:44.949 --> 00:39:48.309
I mean? We've hit a chord here. No, I just find

00:39:48.309 --> 00:39:51.050
it a bit distasteful to leave a club you was

00:39:51.050 --> 00:39:53.710
at for 10 years to then just go and badmouth

00:39:53.710 --> 00:39:56.769
us all over TV. I was at West Ham for 10 years.

00:39:56.949 --> 00:39:58.610
Yeah, about 10 years. Yeah, a long time. Yeah.

00:39:58.969 --> 00:40:01.909
He's our top goal scorer in the league, which

00:40:01.909 --> 00:40:05.280
is embarrassing. But more embarrassing for us

00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:08.400
than him. Yeah. But, yeah, no law in football,

00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:11.679
eh, Mikel? That's such a crazy amount of money,

00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:14.360
isn't it? Stupid. Stupid. This is what I'm saying.

00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:16.739
It's absolutely ridiculous. You're not happy

00:40:16.739 --> 00:40:18.519
with six grand a week, dickhead? Six grand a

00:40:18.519 --> 00:40:20.340
week. Not for his lifestyle. Let's have a look

00:40:20.340 --> 00:40:22.619
at that. Six grand a week. Let's do the old.

00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:27.579
Six, 12, 18, 24. 24 times 12. No, it'd be 52,

00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:30.900
wouldn't it? You go by weeks. It's still 312

00:40:30.900 --> 00:40:34.940
grand a year. Yeah, six, eight. 6, 12, 18, 24.

00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:37.199
That's four weeks. That's 24 times 12. That's

00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:41.239
what I just did to work out. Yeah, that's true.

00:40:41.739 --> 00:40:46.619
Just saying. Well, no, 24 times 12 is 288. Yeah,

00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:49.119
but so four weeks in a month. Yeah, but you don't

00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:50.980
go by the months. If you're working out a salary,

00:40:51.059 --> 00:40:55.380
you don't go by months. You don't go by months.

00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:58.840
You go by weeks. You'd go by weeks. I was just

00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:00.579
trying to get a ballpark figure. I didn't need

00:41:00.579 --> 00:41:02.639
to fucking... Yeah, but then I just gave you

00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:05.099
the actual figure. You want to be a football

00:41:05.099 --> 00:41:07.760
manager, we're talking fucking contracts and

00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:10.119
money, then someone needs to be the accountant

00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:12.320
here. Can you come talk to me when you've took

00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:16.340
Antwerp to a European final? Well, by the sounds

00:41:16.340 --> 00:41:17.940
of it, I could have got us there quicker because

00:41:17.940 --> 00:41:21.920
I know how to do the money more. Imagine that

00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:24.039
from an account. I know how to do the money.

00:41:24.460 --> 00:41:27.099
You can come and be the financial advisor. You

00:41:27.099 --> 00:41:29.739
don't even fucking play it anymore. Pardon me,

00:41:29.739 --> 00:41:32.280
I will. Antwerp's been left in the dirt. Yeah,

00:41:32.300 --> 00:41:33.980
I know. I left that club and then couldn't find

00:41:33.980 --> 00:41:36.400
a job, so I never went back on it. But you couldn't

00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:37.699
actually find a job? I could, but... I thought

00:41:37.699 --> 00:41:39.079
you had offers all over the place. You know when

00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:41.400
you think you're too good for shit, like McAntonio,

00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:42.800
funnily enough. Yeah, that's exactly it. It was

00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:44.340
like, yeah, I was applying for Premier League

00:41:44.340 --> 00:41:47.579
jobs. They were like, nah. I was like, fuck it.

00:41:47.579 --> 00:41:48.980
And then Championship clubs were like, what about

00:41:48.980 --> 00:41:51.280
us? No, no, no. But you had no coaching badges.

00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:54.059
Yeah, but... But I took a club to European final.

00:41:54.059 --> 00:41:56.480
Yeah, but you had no badges. Yes, I know. I had

00:41:56.480 --> 00:42:00.300
a couple. So that could have been fluke. There's

00:42:00.300 --> 00:42:02.400
no fluke. That's mad though, isn't it? So you

00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:05.639
got to the absolute precipice. Didn't get what

00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:08.719
you wanted. Basically, Antwerp called your bluff.

00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:11.159
Because didn't you go in there and you went,

00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:13.300
I want my badges or I'm gone. And they went,

00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:15.940
see you then. Yeah, pretty much. I think they

00:42:15.940 --> 00:42:18.239
were trying to call my bluff. Go then. Please

00:42:18.239 --> 00:42:21.909
don't go. Off you go. Then you went, no, all

00:42:21.909 --> 00:42:24.550
right, I'm fucking off. See you later. And then

00:42:24.550 --> 00:42:28.789
everyone's gone, well, we don't need you. Well,

00:42:28.909 --> 00:42:32.349
it turns out they didn't, did they? No, I can't

00:42:32.349 --> 00:42:35.690
get a job. Well, go to the championship. Build

00:42:35.690 --> 00:42:37.849
yourself back up. That file's dead now. That

00:42:37.849 --> 00:42:40.349
story has ended. That is a rough one, though,

00:42:40.389 --> 00:42:41.530
isn't it? Because it's not like you're at the

00:42:41.530 --> 00:42:44.170
end of your career there either, in terms of

00:42:44.170 --> 00:42:45.550
being a manager. That's probably the best file

00:42:45.550 --> 00:42:46.969
I've ever done on Football Manager because I've

00:42:46.969 --> 00:42:49.099
never done a... Because normally when you start,

00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:51.360
you just go, I'll be West Ham. Yeah. Or I'll

00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:54.239
be fucking, I don't know. Portsmouth. Yeah. Or

00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:56.239
fucking Watford in the championship and just

00:42:56.239 --> 00:42:58.280
go up one division to be in the Prem for fun.

00:42:58.380 --> 00:43:00.519
Like, challenge to work up and then whatever.

00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:03.820
But yeah, to actually just start unemployed and

00:43:03.820 --> 00:43:06.340
get a job at fucking Dover Athletic and then

00:43:06.340 --> 00:43:09.039
end up in China and then fucking Belgium. It

00:43:09.039 --> 00:43:11.099
was great. Kids, we're moving. Because I say,

00:43:11.139 --> 00:43:14.110
yeah, but the fact is, like, I'm learning. in

00:43:14.110 --> 00:43:16.849
real life, what all the other divisions in the

00:43:16.849 --> 00:43:19.070
world do. Because they're all different. They're

00:43:19.070 --> 00:43:20.929
all different. You get clubs that are fucking...

00:43:20.929 --> 00:43:23.030
You get divisions that have only got eight teams

00:43:23.030 --> 00:43:25.730
in, divisions that have four people go up and

00:43:25.730 --> 00:43:28.989
ten people go down. It's just madness. Drafts

00:43:28.989 --> 00:43:32.389
in America. It's all crazy shit. Drafts. There's

00:43:32.389 --> 00:43:34.630
a new rule, actually, that I only found out yesterday

00:43:34.630 --> 00:43:38.690
that's coming. So, this is real, in real football.

00:43:38.929 --> 00:43:43.030
So, as of now, if a goalkeeper... has the ball

00:43:43.030 --> 00:43:47.429
in their hands for eight seconds, and then the

00:43:47.429 --> 00:43:51.510
other team get a corner. What? Just to stop people

00:43:51.510 --> 00:43:53.869
wasting time. Wasting time. So they just keep...

00:43:53.869 --> 00:43:55.389
What always happens in football is... I mean,

00:43:55.429 --> 00:43:57.269
how often does that happen? All the fucking time.

00:43:57.489 --> 00:43:59.750
Because goalkeepers will jump on the ball, hold

00:43:59.750 --> 00:44:03.469
it, and just take fucking like a minute, literally,

00:44:03.469 --> 00:44:06.159
to kick the ball. So they'll get a booking. For

00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:10.900
wasting time. But not one time can I ever recall

00:44:10.900 --> 00:44:13.519
in the history of football, in the Premier League

00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:17.119
for certain, a referee getting another yellow

00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:19.340
card out for a player. So they never get sent

00:44:19.340 --> 00:44:21.019
off for it. They just get one yellow card and

00:44:21.019 --> 00:44:23.760
they just get told off, come on, come on. And

00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:25.579
they never do it. So there's no punishment. So

00:44:25.579 --> 00:44:27.820
now they've got eight seconds to release the

00:44:27.820 --> 00:44:29.480
ball. So that means the people in the background,

00:44:29.579 --> 00:44:32.039
the minute a keeper touches that ball, they're

00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:34.300
going to be like, get the count guy. Get a guy

00:44:34.300 --> 00:44:36.300
now. And then when they've got eight seconds,

00:44:36.500 --> 00:44:38.800
they'll be in the ref's ear, won't they? Corner!

00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:41.260
Give them a fucking corner! The refs have got

00:44:41.260 --> 00:44:44.079
to hold up their hand with five when it hits

00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:45.719
five seconds so the keeper knows it's got three

00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:47.519
more seconds. Oh, really? So the ref has to fucking...

00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:49.679
Well, that just means that they're just not going

00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:51.719
to get caught out, are they? I guarantee you

00:44:51.719 --> 00:44:53.460
it will happen. Do you reckon? I guarantee someone

00:44:53.460 --> 00:44:55.039
will score from it. We'll get nine seconds. And

00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:56.500
I guarantee it will be a fucking massive talking

00:44:56.500 --> 00:44:59.039
point. But I also believe, in my humble opinion,

00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:02.119
that that should be the same for VAR. They should

00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:05.219
only be able to look at a VAR... review for eight

00:45:05.219 --> 00:45:07.400
seconds if they can't decide whether it needs

00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:09.420
to be overturned in eight seconds the the original

00:45:09.420 --> 00:45:13.320
the original uh call should stand so why do you

00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:16.599
think that well because what happens in var is

00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:19.460
someone will fucking tackle someone and they'll

00:45:19.460 --> 00:45:21.539
go play on and then they'll be like no var review

00:45:21.539 --> 00:45:25.000
and then the the people the ref will trot over

00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:28.500
there have a look at it they'll show it it'll

00:45:28.500 --> 00:45:32.199
look at it for like 50 seconds if not more And

00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:34.139
then they'll slow it down, which makes it look

00:45:34.139 --> 00:45:37.480
100 times worse. It might be a bad tackle, but

00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:40.559
at the speed of it actually happening, when it's

00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:43.820
slow, it just looks so bad. And then they'll

00:45:43.820 --> 00:45:46.219
go, yeah, red card. After like a minute of looking

00:45:46.219 --> 00:45:48.460
at it, no, no. You thought it was all right at

00:45:48.460 --> 00:45:50.800
the speed of play when you saw it. Go over there.

00:45:50.860 --> 00:45:53.639
If within eight seconds, at normal speed only,

00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:57.460
you're watching it again, you still can't decide

00:45:57.460 --> 00:45:59.650
in eight seconds. Just carry on. You should not

00:45:59.650 --> 00:46:02.590
be able to pick holes in every single thing because,

00:46:02.690 --> 00:46:04.130
at the end of the day, football's subjective.

00:46:04.869 --> 00:46:07.250
There can be an offside decision. The offside's

00:46:07.250 --> 00:46:09.409
a very cut -and -dry rule. If you're fucking

00:46:09.409 --> 00:46:10.989
behind the last defender, you're offside, right?

00:46:11.710 --> 00:46:13.869
You can still think something's onside and I

00:46:13.869 --> 00:46:15.590
can think something's offside, even though it's

00:46:15.590 --> 00:46:17.750
a cut -and -dry rule. It's subjective. Your opinion

00:46:17.750 --> 00:46:20.030
versus mine. Isn't it like if you get your elbow...

00:46:20.030 --> 00:46:23.170
It's any part of your body you can score with.

00:46:23.409 --> 00:46:26.429
So you can't score with your elbow. But if your

00:46:26.429 --> 00:46:28.869
fucking hair, your forehead, you've got a bigger

00:46:28.869 --> 00:46:30.949
forehead or your foot's fucking one size bigger.

00:46:30.949 --> 00:46:32.769
You're Mark Manson and you've got a fucking wham

00:46:32.769 --> 00:46:35.130
cranium. Yeah, or one of your pig titties is

00:46:35.130 --> 00:46:38.690
hanging over the line. So yeah, you've got fucking,

00:46:38.889 --> 00:46:41.590
it's subjective, man. Yeah. It's subjective.

00:46:41.670 --> 00:46:44.769
So if you're looking at that, no referee's going

00:46:44.769 --> 00:46:46.710
to get the call 100 % right. You've got eight

00:46:46.710 --> 00:46:49.050
seconds to go, all right, I've seen that tackle.

00:46:49.190 --> 00:46:50.750
I thought it was all right. I've got eight seconds

00:46:50.750 --> 00:46:53.119
to look at it. Still looks all right to me. Carry

00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:55.739
on. There's no point slowing it down. They've

00:46:55.739 --> 00:46:57.659
got so many people in the background on a VAR.

00:46:57.719 --> 00:46:59.719
Exactly. All in people's ears. You've got fucking

00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:02.659
fans shouting at them. Players coming over, pressuring

00:47:02.659 --> 00:47:04.139
them. Just let the game flow, man. Yeah, but

00:47:04.139 --> 00:47:06.380
even the people in the background in the room

00:47:06.380 --> 00:47:08.760
or whatever, you've got like four different people

00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:10.559
all analysing something. Oh, yeah, that's what

00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:12.000
I mean. You've got people in the ear all the

00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:14.820
time. So it's just fucking put so much pressure

00:47:14.820 --> 00:47:16.380
on the refs and then they end up getting a call

00:47:16.380 --> 00:47:18.760
wrong, I think. So I think eight seconds should

00:47:18.760 --> 00:47:21.030
just be done, done and out of there. And now

00:47:21.030 --> 00:47:22.610
they have to announce it to the crowd as well,

00:47:22.610 --> 00:47:24.889
which is amusing. They trialled it a couple of

00:47:24.889 --> 00:47:28.230
times last year. So if there's a goalless offside...

00:47:28.230 --> 00:47:29.429
They do that with rugby and stuff, don't they?

00:47:30.230 --> 00:47:34.170
VAR decision, offside. And they have to announce

00:47:34.170 --> 00:47:36.030
it, but you can tell the refs are really nervous.

00:47:37.809 --> 00:47:40.889
It's weird hearing their whizzes as well. Another

00:47:40.889 --> 00:47:42.989
thing I fucking want, I want referees to have

00:47:42.989 --> 00:47:44.869
to come out after a game and have an interview.

00:47:45.110 --> 00:47:48.369
They never do. Explain why you made that decision.

00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:50.860
And then maybe people will be like, oh, I get

00:47:50.860 --> 00:47:52.559
where it's coming from now. Rather than just

00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:54.320
be like, no, the referees are like untouchable

00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:56.840
beings. They just do what they want. I always

00:47:56.840 --> 00:47:59.179
feel like rugby, they should be mic'd up. Yeah,

00:47:59.219 --> 00:48:00.860
but I think it's because of fucking footballers'

00:48:00.860 --> 00:48:02.840
stinky attitudes that they're not. Because footballers

00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:05.719
are just cunting and fucking all the time. Where

00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:08.119
rugby players are respectful and polite, football

00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:10.880
players are just whiny little bitches and won't

00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:13.000
keep their fucking mouths shut. So that's what

00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:15.679
I think. But yeah, 100 % mic'd up refs is the

00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:19.139
way. And that was football politics with Prince.

00:48:19.559 --> 00:48:22.719
Sorry about your tits, Mark. No, no, no. You

00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:24.260
said it in the moment, so you must have meant

00:48:24.260 --> 00:48:26.219
it. Yeah, spider pig joke. And then I called

00:48:26.219 --> 00:48:27.900
him pig tits, and now I feel a bit bad. Yeah,

00:48:27.900 --> 00:48:30.500
pig tits. Because that come out of nowhere. There

00:48:30.500 --> 00:48:32.559
was no provocation there. Yeah, you said Mark.

00:48:33.039 --> 00:48:35.420
You had Mark, his massive something over the

00:48:35.420 --> 00:48:37.679
line. Massive cranium. Yeah, so I just thought...

00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:40.880
His heads. Because you showed me a picture of

00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:43.039
him being all fat and that. Yeah, no, that's

00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:45.199
true. So, you know, psychologically, he's just

00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:48.199
there. sorry man yeah see you soon anyway and

00:48:48.199 --> 00:48:52.960
that's it see you later everyone
