WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.580 Hello. What's the buttoners? Buttons. What's 00:00:03.580 --> 00:00:08.199 the AI say? Don't forget to keep hitting them 00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:14.199 buttons. Pressing them buttons? What? That. Don't 00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:15.900 forget to press the buttons. That's the ones. 00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:20.739 Don't forget. Hello. Hiya. What are you reading? 00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:26.640 I don't really know. Just looking at stuff. It 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:27.800 looked like you were about to read something 00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.870 out. No, no, I'm just looking at stuff. But it's 00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:34.109 not important. I should probably stop. Okay, 00:00:34.229 --> 00:00:39.670 here we are. 30 seconds in. Hello. Yeah. It's 00:00:39.670 --> 00:00:44.850 happening. Time to stay in my lane. What is that? 00:00:48.829 --> 00:00:51.649 I finished Iron Light. I heard. As you know. 00:00:51.969 --> 00:00:53.810 I sent you the voice note. I sent that voice 00:00:53.810 --> 00:00:57.520 note to many people. I don't feel special. No, 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.340 you got a special one, but I sent a voice note 00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:02.960 to multiple people saying it's fucking done. 00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:05.920 But it's done. Ladies and gentlemen, Dying Light 00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:10.359 the Beast is done. Deleted. Fucking thrown into 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.719 the never. I'm not touching it again. If they 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.579 make another one, I'm not buying it. Great game. 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.920 Really good game. I recommend it to anyone. Very, 00:01:19.939 --> 00:01:23.939 very, very well made. Fucking hate it. But why? 00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:34.540 I just couldn't. I think that I just started 00:01:34.540 --> 00:01:38.840 playing it at the wrong time, I feel. And like 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.159 you said, there was FOMO for the amount of games 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:46.799 that have come out in the last month. And I was 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.400 in that mindset of, I need to finish this rather 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.590 than I really want to finish this. And nothing 00:01:53.590 --> 00:01:56.090 against the game at all, because I stand by it 00:01:56.090 --> 00:01:58.310 when I say it's a really decent game. It's a 00:01:58.310 --> 00:02:01.390 really good dying light. But I was just fucking 00:02:01.390 --> 00:02:04.629 over it. Sick of it. I weren't touching the side 00:02:04.629 --> 00:02:07.750 missions. I weren't exploring. I'd already done 00:02:07.750 --> 00:02:13.229 loads prior. But I just knew, as you know, and 00:02:13.229 --> 00:02:14.689 as most of the people that listen to this pod 00:02:14.689 --> 00:02:17.509 regularly know, I'm a sucker for putting a game 00:02:17.509 --> 00:02:19.840 down and not picking it up again. so I was like 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.280 if I put this game down I'm not picking it up 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:25.979 again so I was like finish it it's not that long 00:02:25.979 --> 00:02:28.900 of a game it's like 30 hours if that so I finished 00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:31.419 the fucking thing and I did yesterday and it's 00:02:31.419 --> 00:02:34.000 finally finished and it was a good ending I enjoyed 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.259 it hard ending as well because I died about four 00:02:36.259 --> 00:02:39.919 times which I rarely died during the game but 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.949 I'll give it I'll give it a 8 out of 10. I've 00:02:42.949 --> 00:02:44.990 never heard someone hate a game so much and still 00:02:44.990 --> 00:02:47.569 give it a good review. It's fantastic. It's me. 00:02:48.409 --> 00:02:50.689 I'm the problem. I'm the problem. Not Dying Light. 00:02:51.509 --> 00:02:57.509 I find it weird that you've got the day and night 00:02:57.509 --> 00:02:59.629 cycle and you can completely avoid the night 00:02:59.629 --> 00:03:02.349 cycle. There's quite literally, other than side 00:03:02.349 --> 00:03:06.069 missions, no need to touch it. Of which I didn't 00:03:06.069 --> 00:03:09.050 because it's absolutely fucking terrifying. Those 00:03:09.050 --> 00:03:12.189 volatiles just like to bang you. and it's pitch 00:03:12.189 --> 00:03:14.810 black. Your flashlight does fucking nothing. 00:03:14.909 --> 00:03:18.430 I might as well have a glow worm in a jar. And 00:03:18.430 --> 00:03:22.169 so, yeah, so I just avoided it. And there's camps 00:03:22.169 --> 00:03:24.349 everywhere, so it's very easy when your watch 00:03:24.349 --> 00:03:28.750 starts buzzing to say it's changing into nighttime. 00:03:29.129 --> 00:03:31.469 You can just go and have a sleep until the next 00:03:31.469 --> 00:03:34.729 morning and then crack on. But, yeah, it's a 00:03:34.729 --> 00:03:37.530 good game. I've definitely missed out on a load 00:03:37.530 --> 00:03:41.469 of content that's within the game. But I don't 00:03:41.469 --> 00:03:44.650 give a fuck. I don't care. I've paid my money. 00:03:45.169 --> 00:03:48.849 I've got my hours worth. I've deleted it. Done. 00:03:49.270 --> 00:03:51.030 Like I said, if you're interested in it, get 00:03:51.030 --> 00:03:53.710 it. It's good. But if you don't get it, I also 00:03:53.710 --> 00:03:57.030 don't care. It's a fair review. Yeah, there you 00:03:57.030 --> 00:04:01.030 go. That's a bog standard fucking back of a crisp 00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:03.870 packet review. There you go. Do you like them 00:04:03.870 --> 00:04:10.789 apples? Well, I've been playing. What do you 00:04:10.789 --> 00:04:13.009 think I've been playing? You will never guess 00:04:13.009 --> 00:04:16.529 it. Well, I won't guess it. No, no one would. 00:04:16.730 --> 00:04:19.949 Because it's not Football Manager. It's not Artgraders. 00:04:20.069 --> 00:04:22.769 No. It's not Battlefield. I have played Battlefield. 00:04:23.110 --> 00:04:29.129 Yeah. I've played four games this week, mostly, 00:04:29.310 --> 00:04:32.649 and Battlefield. Go on. One's called Necess. 00:04:35.170 --> 00:04:42.079 I don't know. I don't know, man. One's called 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:49.500 Ball X Pit. Right. One's called Mega Bonk. Are 00:04:49.500 --> 00:04:53.720 these on your phone? Nah, Steam. And then The 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.600 Binding of Isaac. The Binding of Isaac? Again, 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.079 yeah. Again. I love that game. Why? Sick, innit? 00:05:01.220 --> 00:05:03.519 What's Mega Bonk? What the fuck? Why? I don't 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.899 really know, bro. Why are you playing these games? 00:05:05.980 --> 00:05:08.060 Have you paid for these? Yeah. Well, they're 00:05:08.060 --> 00:05:11.480 only like eight quid and that, aren't they? Let 00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:13.259 me open up Steve then. Let's have a look. What 00:05:13.259 --> 00:05:14.879 one do you want to look at first? Megabonk? I'll 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:16.839 have a look at Megabonk. Have a look at Megabonk. 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.819 What the fuck? Megabonk. All the games that are 00:05:19.819 --> 00:05:22.800 out at the moment. And you're playing Megabonk. 00:05:23.019 --> 00:05:25.779 Megabonk is sick. I don't care what anyone says. 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.959 I'll wait for it to load up then to explain what 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.220 the fuck Megabonk is. Yeah. In case anyone's 00:05:34.220 --> 00:05:37.079 unsure. Have you bought Ark Raiders yet? Nah. 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.439 I didn't even know it was out. Yeah. When's it 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:44.089 come out? I haven't got time to play Ark Raiders. 00:05:44.250 --> 00:05:47.170 There's too much shit out. Yeah, they need to 00:05:47.170 --> 00:05:51.750 fucking... What is this? I'm watching the trailer. 00:05:51.910 --> 00:05:55.490 No sound. What is this? This looks fucking sick. 00:05:55.750 --> 00:05:58.649 It's mega bonk, man. It's mega bonk. Was it a 00:05:58.649 --> 00:06:01.410 knight skating around? Now it's an orc. Or is 00:06:01.410 --> 00:06:03.850 it kind of like Vampire Survivors? Yeah, it's 00:06:03.850 --> 00:06:06.250 like Vampire Survivors. But better. There's a 00:06:06.250 --> 00:06:08.689 skeleton on a skateboard. Yeah, you can skate. 00:06:09.719 --> 00:06:12.540 What's going on? It's like Risk of Rain meets 00:06:12.540 --> 00:06:15.259 Vampire Survivors. It looks decent, you know. 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.360 It's fucking sick, bruv. It's so good. That looks 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.980 decent. It's so much fun. I'm currently using 00:06:21.980 --> 00:06:24.160 a monkey that can climb walls and that. It's 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:29.319 so good. It came out 18th September 2025. Smash 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.579 your way through endless waves of enemies and 00:06:31.579 --> 00:06:34.519 grow absurdly powerful. Grab loot, level up, 00:06:34.579 --> 00:06:36.839 unlock characters and upgrade to create unique 00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:39.459 and crazy builds as you fend off hordes of creatures. 00:06:43.420 --> 00:06:47.939 This geezer reviewed it at 13 .6 hours of review 00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:50.480 time. The kind of game you can use to actively 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.779 avoid engaging in critical real life responsibilities. 00:06:53.949 --> 00:06:57.629 And now he's played 245 hours. Oh, decent. So 00:06:57.629 --> 00:07:08.069 in 26 days, he's played 232 hours. It's a good 00:07:08.069 --> 00:07:10.629 game, man. It's like the Steam Deck's ultimate 00:07:10.629 --> 00:07:13.850 game. You know what I mean? So I'm on 176 hours 00:07:13.850 --> 00:07:16.379 on record. Don't buy this game if you have addiction 00:07:16.379 --> 00:07:19.920 issues. I cannot stop. My life is bonking. When 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.060 I close my eyes, I see goblins swarm. I dream 00:07:23.060 --> 00:07:26.120 of sucky magnets and daggers that belong to some 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:30.000 guy named Joe. Yeah, Joe. Joe sells some shady 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.600 shit. After getting every achievement, I can 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.879 say 100 % this game is worth the $10. It's addicting, 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.860 challenging, will make you question your sanity 00:07:38.860 --> 00:07:42.360 at times, but also just pure unbridled fun with 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.639 references to other great games and media. If 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.180 I had to describe it, I would say it's like Rogue 00:07:47.180 --> 00:07:51.860 Genesia or Vampire Survivors meets Risk of Rain 00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:56.250 2. I'm going to go eat some spaghetti now. I 00:07:56.250 --> 00:07:59.790 doubt you've played Risk of Rain. No. The pretense 00:07:59.790 --> 00:08:03.649 of Risk of Rain is... I suppose the horde mode 00:08:03.649 --> 00:08:05.790 survival part comes from Vampire Survival where 00:08:05.790 --> 00:08:07.149 you're collecting gems, levelling up, blah, blah, 00:08:07.250 --> 00:08:09.610 blah. But then when you're running around, you're 00:08:09.610 --> 00:08:11.310 also collecting coins which you can open chests 00:08:11.310 --> 00:08:13.529 that are on the floor with the coins. And then 00:08:13.529 --> 00:08:16.430 the whole point of the game is the longer you're 00:08:16.430 --> 00:08:18.750 in the map for, the harder it gets. So you need 00:08:18.750 --> 00:08:20.730 to find the boss portal, summon the boss, kill 00:08:20.730 --> 00:08:23.269 the boss. and then leave to go to the next stage. 00:08:23.370 --> 00:08:25.589 But the longer you stay in the stage, fighting 00:08:25.589 --> 00:08:27.209 more and more waves of enemies, the harder it 00:08:27.209 --> 00:08:29.629 gets, and the more reward you get. It's just 00:08:29.629 --> 00:08:32.669 very fun. I've only got to the second level so 00:08:32.669 --> 00:08:35.669 far, but I've had a great time. So that's Mega 00:08:35.669 --> 00:08:38.370 Bonk. Yep, what's the next one? What else have 00:08:38.370 --> 00:08:43.529 we been playing? Oh, Ball X Pit. Ball X Pit. 00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:51.379 Ball X Pit is a brick -breaking, ball -fusing, 00:08:51.539 --> 00:08:55.940 base -building survival roguelite. Batter hordes 00:08:55.940 --> 00:08:58.159 of enemies with ricocheting balls and gather 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.539 the riches of the pit to expand your homestead 00:09:01.539 --> 00:09:04.480 to generate resources and recruit unique heroes. 00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:11.059 And that came out two weeks ago. Yeah. And, yep, 00:09:11.179 --> 00:09:15.019 there you go. That's... I don't know how to describe 00:09:15.019 --> 00:09:17.820 what I'm seeing. He's doing stuff. Yeah, balls 00:09:17.820 --> 00:09:20.220 bouncing off shit. There's balls. Do you know, 00:09:20.259 --> 00:09:22.840 it looks like one of them fucking mobile games 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.559 that don't exist. It does exist and it's fantastic. 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.360 42 hours. After 36 hours in the demo, getting 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:30.440 the first three characters through fast plus 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:32.820 nine, I had to take a break. I was having bad 00:09:32.820 --> 00:09:35.000 dreams about getting single fusions three times 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:36.840 in a row every time. That's the worst. Because 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:39.179 it kept happening in real life. Every time I 00:09:39.179 --> 00:09:41.379 did it, I cursed the game's creators. I must 00:09:41.379 --> 00:09:43.539 have said, fuck you, Kenny's son, no less than 00:09:43.539 --> 00:09:46.100 50 times in the span of a month. And then it 00:09:46.100 --> 00:09:48.679 launched. And all is forgiven. You'll see what 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.460 I mean when you play on far enough. Not going 00:09:51.460 --> 00:09:53.460 to spoil anything, but you're in for one hell 00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:55.820 of a show. There's nothing like ball X pit around. 00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.320 Not even close. This is the genuine one -of -a 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.139 -kind sort of game that blows everyone's expectations. 00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:04.779 Genuinely, it does. And it seems so simple. You're 00:10:04.779 --> 00:10:07.059 just hitting balls. But there's so much more 00:10:07.059 --> 00:10:08.539 than that. And I don't know how to tell you. 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.759 It's just more. Yeah, no, well, I mean, the whole 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.080 point of doing this podcast is not for information. 00:10:15.139 --> 00:10:18.000 Oh, no, it is. I'm being pedantic. Let me explain. 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:26.240 There you go. That's what it is. Ball X pit. 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.539 So you start, you get a ball, you ping it. Anyway, 00:10:28.539 --> 00:10:30.360 you get multiple balls and you ping them. And 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.299 then every time, much like Vampire Survivors, 00:10:32.299 --> 00:10:36.600 you level up after collecting little gems. and 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.480 you level up and you get to collect new balls, 00:10:38.620 --> 00:10:40.460 and they do different things like freeze lasers 00:10:40.460 --> 00:10:43.200 when you hit, set them on fire, freeze them, 00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:46.200 I've already said that, earthquake, does AOE, 00:10:46.220 --> 00:10:48.480 all sorts of different balls. And then when you 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.500 get the balls, you level the balls up. Every 00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:53.080 time you level up, you choose what ball you want 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:54.399 to level up, and then you get the little fusion 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.039 things drop, and then you can fuse the balls 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:57.600 together, and then they have unique properties 00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.879 when they're put together, so they turn. You 00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:02.700 can get a ball called a spider brood, and then 00:11:02.700 --> 00:11:05.429 every time a ball hits... a brick it bounces 00:11:05.429 --> 00:11:07.809 into hundreds more balls and then you can fuse 00:11:07.809 --> 00:11:09.649 that with something else and then it becomes 00:11:09.649 --> 00:11:11.529 like there was a game like that on my mobile 00:11:11.529 --> 00:11:14.029 phone i'm sure there was like 20 years ago yeah 00:11:14.029 --> 00:11:16.809 uh and then that fuses in something else and 00:11:16.809 --> 00:11:18.909 it has more unique properties and then you can 00:11:18.909 --> 00:11:21.210 fuse two other balls together and get a unique 00:11:21.210 --> 00:11:23.190 property and then fuse the already fused ones 00:11:23.190 --> 00:11:25.769 together to get a it's just mental and it gets 00:11:25.769 --> 00:11:28.649 crazy and it's hard and it's great and then there's 00:11:28.649 --> 00:11:30.169 base building at the end of all that where you 00:11:30.169 --> 00:11:32.679 have to like click resources and stuff It's just 00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.679 a great game. And like I say, both of these games 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:40.120 have fantastic reviews. Very good reviews. Because 00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.600 I only buy the best. Yes. That's what I do. Yeah. 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:46.320 Next one. NECES. N -E -C -E -S -S -E, I believe. 00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:54.259 N -E -C -E... NECES. Build, quest, and conquer... 00:11:54.259 --> 00:11:57.259 These all look the fucking same. Build, quest, 00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:59.700 and conquer across an infinite procedurally generated 00:11:59.700 --> 00:12:02.350 world. Play alone or with friends as you establish 00:12:02.350 --> 00:12:04.190 a settlement and explore deep dungeons, fight 00:12:04.190 --> 00:12:07.090 monsters and bosses, mine rare ores, craft magical 00:12:07.090 --> 00:12:09.250 equipment, recruit specialists for your colony, 00:12:09.389 --> 00:12:14.230 and more. Came out two weeks ago. Came out a 00:12:14.230 --> 00:12:19.789 day after Ball X Pit. Sick game, man. I don't 00:12:19.789 --> 00:12:23.409 really know what I'm doing. You're building, 00:12:23.590 --> 00:12:25.470 you're going in caves, you're smashing shit up, 00:12:25.549 --> 00:12:27.289 you're collecting stuff, you're building, you're 00:12:27.289 --> 00:12:30.539 collecting shit. It's fucking... It's one of 00:12:30.539 --> 00:12:33.379 them games that's far too intricate for me. Yeah. 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.700 That I just like fucking about. Do you know what 00:12:35.700 --> 00:12:37.159 I mean? Let's have a look at some. It's got a 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.379 bit of like, I suppose, what's that game Steph 00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:41.879 likes playing? The Animal one. Animal Crossing, 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.840 is it? Animal Crossing, yeah. It's got a bit 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:45.700 of that about it. It's got a bit of Terraria 00:12:45.700 --> 00:12:48.200 about it. It's got a bit of Minecraft about it. 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.519 It's got a bit of Stardew Valley about it. Probably 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:53.480 got some of that Dream light. disney valley whatever 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.080 it's called about it it's all that sort of combined 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.559 into one but with a bit more wizards and magic 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:00.720 and goblins and orcs and all that sort of stuff 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.379 which i like so much because as you can see i'm 00:13:03.379 --> 00:13:06.820 back on my fantasy ting yep um so yeah that's 00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:09.000 that's they're the games and and i'm not gonna 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.519 lie i have had a fantastic time because i've 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:12.960 been playing my steam deck and then when i've 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:15.240 when the kids have gone to bed i've been going 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.940 right let's whack that on the old fucking dock 00:13:17.940 --> 00:13:20.600 and get it on the big screen and use my ps5 control 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:27.929 which is even more It says, I assumed this would 00:13:27.929 --> 00:13:31.190 be just a run -of -the -mill survival craft game. 00:13:31.350 --> 00:13:33.549 Oh my God, I'm going to have to... Will you shut 00:13:33.549 --> 00:13:43.450 up, Barkin! It didn't work. I assume this would 00:13:43.450 --> 00:13:45.590 be a run -of -the -mill survival craft game, 00:13:45.669 --> 00:13:47.549 but I was wrong. This is more like a blend of 00:13:47.549 --> 00:13:50.289 Stardew Valley, Core Keeper, and RimWorld. After 00:13:50.289 --> 00:13:52.549 playing for an hour, I discovered I can assign 00:13:52.549 --> 00:13:55.220 a settler... as a sort of chest mule and have 00:13:55.220 --> 00:13:57.080 them sort through the mountains of junk I haul 00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:59.799 back from my spelunking adventures. That's it, 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:02.879 gentlemen. The genre has peaked here. Going forward, 00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.259 any survival crafting game I play that doesn't 00:14:05.259 --> 00:14:07.740 have a chest mule system is going to feel like 00:14:07.740 --> 00:14:11.460 I'm playing a degenerate Stone Age game for prehistoric 00:14:11.460 --> 00:14:14.220 boomers. I henceforth refuse to manually sort 00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:16.559 through any of my own adventuring crap in any 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.659 future game I play. This game is really good. 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.730 Don't think about it. Just buy it. That sounds 00:14:21.730 --> 00:14:23.549 like a good review to me. Seems like three solid 00:14:23.549 --> 00:14:25.850 hitters that you've managed to found for the 00:14:25.850 --> 00:14:28.710 sum of less than 30 quid. Yeah, oh, a lot less, 00:14:28.850 --> 00:14:31.509 yeah. I've had a fantastic time. I really have 00:14:31.509 --> 00:14:33.669 had a great little time. And then to top it all 00:14:33.669 --> 00:14:38.470 off, obviously, Battlefield VR dropped. Yeah, 00:14:38.470 --> 00:14:41.889 I haven't played that. Got my old buddy back. 00:14:42.110 --> 00:14:44.529 Got my old Clarky baby back. Clarky's back. We've 00:14:44.529 --> 00:14:46.529 been banging it out. The Geezer ain't been on 00:14:46.529 --> 00:14:50.639 PlayStation in about six months. He says, well, 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:53.019 he's grown up now. Do you know what I mean? He's 00:14:53.019 --> 00:14:56.539 in an office. He's busy. He's going, I ain't 00:14:56.539 --> 00:14:58.279 got time for the gaming shit. And I was like, 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:00.159 that's fine, mate. But just know that I hate 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.379 you. And the reason I hate you is this is the 00:15:02.379 --> 00:15:04.559 first Battle Royale that's ever came out where 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:05.960 I haven't played with you on the first night. 00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:10.080 Just them words just broke him. And then he downloaded 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.379 it and we played it. And now... Now he's buying 00:15:12.379 --> 00:15:14.100 Battlefield today because he can't stop thinking 00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:16.299 about unlocking weapons and playing it. No, you 00:15:16.299 --> 00:15:18.179 can play it for free, can't you? Yeah, the BR's 00:15:18.179 --> 00:15:22.120 free. And yeah, he can't get enough of it. He 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.039 asked his assistant yesterday to find some weapons 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:27.240 for him, like a specific term in Battlefield 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:30.539 BR, like a conversion kit or something. And she 00:15:30.539 --> 00:15:33.340 was like, oh, is it on the files? And he was 00:15:33.340 --> 00:15:35.480 like, yeah. Had his assistant looking through 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.940 her computer files for a Battlefield thing, just 00:15:37.940 --> 00:15:41.519 for a laugh. Decent. Sent me a picture. Today 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.759 of his computer screen. Saying my screen's just 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:46.700 showing no guns or fields of battle and this 00:15:46.700 --> 00:15:48.600 is making me sad. When the test goes and they 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.000 didn't have Battlefield either. Also sad. So 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.899 he is well and truly hooked. And I can see why. 00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:00.019 Because it's pretty fantastic. Now it's came 00:16:00.019 --> 00:16:03.980 out to some sceptical reviews. Some people... 00:16:03.980 --> 00:16:06.519 It's very Marmite. I think people either really 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:09.480 loving it or they're really hating it. I am... 00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:12.100 much more in the love in it camp i wouldn't say 00:16:12.100 --> 00:16:14.980 it's like perfect i think as battle royales goes 00:16:14.980 --> 00:16:18.620 it's unique enough you know i mean you can blow 00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:21.059 buildings up like the destruction in the br is 00:16:21.059 --> 00:16:23.360 much more than the multiplayer like you can literally 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.200 stand on a roof blow a hole in the ceiling and 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:27.840 pepper people below you do you know what i mean 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:30.519 uh you can get the tanks but they can be easily 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:32.899 dealt with not that we've been able to easily 00:16:32.899 --> 00:16:36.860 deal with them But you can, if you run up alongside 00:16:36.860 --> 00:16:39.799 one, gives you an option to like firm it just 00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:41.820 by pressing a button and then the people inside 00:16:41.820 --> 00:16:43.679 either have the option to cook alive or jump 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:48.820 out the tank. And to get them, you have to do 00:16:48.820 --> 00:16:52.029 a mission. Every now and then, a mission. screen 00:16:52.029 --> 00:16:53.629 will pop up and you get to choose a mission if 00:16:53.629 --> 00:16:55.149 you want to do it and it gives you certain rewards 00:16:55.149 --> 00:16:57.289 one being a tank one being like a helicopter 00:16:57.289 --> 00:17:00.730 all that sort of jazz and i always thought helicopters 00:17:00.730 --> 00:17:02.710 and tanks from battlefields perspective would 00:17:02.710 --> 00:17:04.630 be too overpowered in the br but they're really 00:17:04.630 --> 00:17:07.369 not they're scary when you see them but also 00:17:07.369 --> 00:17:10.990 that you can deal with them right um i play the 00:17:10.990 --> 00:17:13.849 engineer how that works i can only talk on the 00:17:13.849 --> 00:17:14.990 engineer because he's the only one i've played 00:17:14.990 --> 00:17:17.910 you have your perks along the side like you're 00:17:17.910 --> 00:17:19.829 doing the multiplayer as you just do things by 00:17:19.829 --> 00:17:22.849 surviving another 10 people or open chests or 00:17:22.849 --> 00:17:25.750 do missions kills whatever your experience will 00:17:25.750 --> 00:17:28.710 rise and then you'll unlock a level of your perks 00:17:28.710 --> 00:17:30.849 and then so on so forth you get all of them the 00:17:30.849 --> 00:17:34.150 first perk that i unlock is my rpg that i start 00:17:34.150 --> 00:17:36.910 with then just automatically gets fitted with 00:17:36.910 --> 00:17:39.849 a um an auto locking scope on it so then i can 00:17:39.849 --> 00:17:41.849 just lock on stuff and then i think one of the 00:17:41.849 --> 00:17:45.009 top perks you unlock is every time i damage a 00:17:45.009 --> 00:17:48.259 vehicle It immobilizes it for eight seconds or 00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:50.420 something, which is a long time. But they've 00:17:50.420 --> 00:17:52.319 all got their own sort of different perks and 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.839 play styles and stuff. But yeah, it really is 00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.000 unique enough to be different from the rest. 00:18:00.140 --> 00:18:04.579 And it's enjoyable. It's exciting. And when it 00:18:04.579 --> 00:18:07.359 wants to be, it's very, very, very cinematic. 00:18:07.740 --> 00:18:10.180 Like where you're like, wow, this looks like 00:18:10.180 --> 00:18:12.819 out of Die Hard or something. The ring is... 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:15.380 very intimidating and I love it it's instant 00:18:15.380 --> 00:18:20.559 death it's a ring of fire and flames and when 00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:22.940 you're like back up against it in a building 00:18:22.940 --> 00:18:27.799 that's all you can hear just flames it's thrilling 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:30.900 you get a little marker up and the closer when 00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:32.680 it starts getting closer it starts burning you 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:34.559 and then obviously if it actually touches you 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:39.039 you will die but yeah doing doing pretty well 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:41.000 on there and having a and i'm having a good old 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.740 time leveling guns up and stuff much like in 00:18:43.740 --> 00:18:45.940 call of duty but doing it like naturally just 00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:50.420 by playing and enjoying it um so you can find 00:18:50.420 --> 00:18:52.460 like it's not like chests like warzone you'll 00:18:52.460 --> 00:18:55.599 open it you'll find a ar and then you can find 00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:57.660 an ar I don't know what they're called, like 00:18:57.660 --> 00:19:00.180 an AR upgrade kit, say, for example, and there'll 00:19:00.180 --> 00:19:03.059 be one for SMGs, shotguns, sniper rifles. So 00:19:03.059 --> 00:19:05.500 if you've got a green AR, you can use that upgrade 00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:07.279 kit, and then it'll give you an option. Do you 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:08.960 want to increase the accuracy or increase the 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:13.359 damage, the magazine size? But when you do one 00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:14.980 of them, it'll give you, like, a better scope 00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:18.019 if you go for accuracy, like a grip. Change the 00:19:18.019 --> 00:19:20.259 rarity from green to blue, and it'll just keep 00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:23.240 going up and up. So you do that. Also, you get 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.539 your custom weapons drop, like a loadout. But 00:19:26.539 --> 00:19:29.339 they just drop out of the sky. So any weapons 00:19:29.339 --> 00:19:31.859 that you've favourited in your loadout system 00:19:31.859 --> 00:19:33.900 thing will be in there and you can go and collect 00:19:33.900 --> 00:19:37.700 one. And yeah, it's just a good old time. We 00:19:37.700 --> 00:19:39.859 came second, I think, a couple of times, or third. 00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:43.480 We've come very close to winning. But it's just 00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:45.819 a jolly old good bit of fun, you know. It's good. 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:48.160 It's Battlefield, man. Battlefield. I mean, it's 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.019 got a good chance. It's unfortunate it's come 00:19:51.019 --> 00:19:53.359 out so close to Ark Raiders and probably unfortunate 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:55.299 for Ark Raiders it's come out so close to Battlefield 00:19:55.299 --> 00:20:00.240 BR, but I don't know where the two markets will 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.319 sit. In regards to that, I'm sure they'll split. 00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:06.980 But yeah, BR's enjoyable, man. Very, very enjoyable. 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:09.960 I look forward to playing more of it. I won't 00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:12.980 touch it. That's fine. But I'm glad you enjoy 00:20:12.980 --> 00:20:16.369 it. It's just not my cup of tea. I'm not interested 00:20:16.369 --> 00:20:19.630 in the Battle Royale. What I am interested in 00:20:19.630 --> 00:20:22.250 is seeing all the COD streamers cry about it. 00:20:22.769 --> 00:20:25.230 I take great pleasure in watching those types 00:20:25.230 --> 00:20:30.950 of videos. Other than that, I haven't actually 00:20:30.950 --> 00:20:33.849 played Battlefield since the last pod that we 00:20:33.849 --> 00:20:36.990 did, so since last week. It's been busy. And 00:20:36.990 --> 00:20:41.190 also Dying Light and shit like that. But I would 00:20:41.190 --> 00:20:44.609 imagine... I would imagine this will find its 00:20:44.609 --> 00:20:47.490 own niche of player base. Not niche, but its 00:20:47.490 --> 00:20:51.809 own sector. How impactful that will be for when 00:20:51.809 --> 00:20:55.170 Black Ops comes out? Because Black Ops isn't 00:20:55.170 --> 00:20:57.309 releasing with a BR or anything like that, is 00:20:57.309 --> 00:20:59.670 it? Well, it'll be integrated into Warzone, so 00:20:59.670 --> 00:21:04.609 it will be the same thing. Yeah, so... Yeah, 00:21:04.789 --> 00:21:08.769 it's difficult, isn't it? Because the tear between 00:21:08.769 --> 00:21:11.049 Battlefield players and Call of Duty players 00:21:11.049 --> 00:21:14.789 has always been quite... quite a defining line 00:21:14.789 --> 00:21:18.230 and it happens every single time a Battlefield 00:21:18.230 --> 00:21:19.890 comes out you go all the Cobb players will come 00:21:19.890 --> 00:21:23.430 over and play Battlefield and then vice versa 00:21:23.430 --> 00:21:28.009 so I would imagine most not most of the people 00:21:28.009 --> 00:21:30.210 but a lot of the player base for Battlefield 00:21:30.210 --> 00:21:34.490 at the moment are mainly Cobb players and will 00:21:34.490 --> 00:21:37.609 soon flutter off over to Call of Duty well fuck 00:21:37.609 --> 00:21:41.319 off then just fuck off With your shitty cartoony 00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:45.579 Fortnite -looking gameplay. Just fuck off. The 00:21:45.579 --> 00:21:48.920 best thing they can do is not listen to all the 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:51.160 Call of Duty streamers and all that jazz because 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:52.920 they're complaining about things like the time 00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:55.019 it takes to put plates in and stuff like that 00:21:55.019 --> 00:21:56.859 because it's not like zip, zip, zip. It's like 00:21:56.859 --> 00:22:00.299 zip, zip, zip. Yeah, because they're used to 00:22:00.299 --> 00:22:04.339 fucking arcade -y speed, fucking jumping around. 00:22:04.380 --> 00:22:06.319 What makes it feel more like Apex, where you 00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:08.680 damage someone, they can't just duck around a 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:10.759 corner and come out full health again. You've 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:12.279 whittled them down, you know what I mean? You 00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:16.279 have to keep the pressure on them. But the time 00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:18.339 to kill, the TTK is fantastic as well. It was 00:22:18.339 --> 00:22:20.720 like Call of Duty is way too fast. Always has 00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:22.980 been. It's like dead, isn't it? Where you can 00:22:22.980 --> 00:22:25.339 get shot in Battlefield and escape. You know, 00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:27.779 it's not an instant death. The sniper rifle's 00:22:27.779 --> 00:22:30.819 very, very hard to hit. So if you see a sniper 00:22:30.819 --> 00:22:33.339 glint from, you know, 300 metres away, you're 00:22:33.339 --> 00:22:34.920 not just going to die like you're doing Call 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:40.160 of Duty unless they're fucking sick. And, yeah, 00:22:40.579 --> 00:22:43.680 the time to kill is, it feels good because you 00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:45.680 obviously crack their plates and then keep finishing 00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:50.119 them until they're down. But it's not punishing. 00:22:50.420 --> 00:22:53.059 Like, it's good for the average player. It just 00:22:53.059 --> 00:22:55.019 feels better. Do you know what I mean? It's, 00:22:55.059 --> 00:22:57.900 I was seeing all these people running and jumping 00:22:57.900 --> 00:22:59.519 and all that shit. And they, this is the cop 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:02.220 players and they stand out. I saw fun, but the 00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:05.539 arm that are the, um, the camos that you're wearing, 00:23:05.660 --> 00:23:09.660 they're just so good. Like I, sometimes I struggle 00:23:09.660 --> 00:23:11.559 to see Clarkie and he's got a name above his 00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:13.200 head. You know what I mean? And he's just laying 00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:15.059 down. I'm like, I would never see you there. 00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:19.740 Um, so yeah. camping or tactically waiting I 00:23:19.740 --> 00:23:23.059 see they also toned down some of their skins 00:23:23.059 --> 00:23:26.039 that are coming out like the one that's got all 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.160 the green green stripes going down it they released 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.480 a photo of it and it was quite bright and I think 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:35.900 a load of people looked at it and went what the 00:23:35.900 --> 00:23:38.099 fuck is that what are you doing and then they've 00:23:38.099 --> 00:23:41.740 toned it down which I think to be fair is good 00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:46.190 in a game like Battlefield no cunts running around 00:23:46.190 --> 00:23:50.190 the battlefield with bright luminous green strips 00:23:50.190 --> 00:23:53.430 all over their body no one's doing that no so 00:23:53.430 --> 00:23:55.609 why are we throwing that into battlefield it's 00:23:55.609 --> 00:23:57.910 not a thing that should be done money have some 00:23:57.910 --> 00:23:59.730 green on there but fucking hell we don't need 00:23:59.730 --> 00:24:02.809 to we don't need to touch any of that shit um 00:24:02.809 --> 00:24:05.990 so yeah hopefully hopefully they don't start 00:24:05.990 --> 00:24:09.849 pandering to cod streamers and just go you want 00:24:09.849 --> 00:24:13.970 these changes fuck off Go away. Take your meta 00:24:13.970 --> 00:24:16.910 build and fuck off. Absolutely. You're sausage. 00:24:17.930 --> 00:24:21.430 I... New World's a bit mad, though. New World's 00:24:21.430 --> 00:24:25.450 gone. Straight gone. New World's gone. The Lord 00:24:25.450 --> 00:24:28.170 of the Rings MMO that Amazon was making has been 00:24:28.170 --> 00:24:37.369 binned off in favour of... Courthouse. A Snoop 00:24:37.369 --> 00:24:41.420 Dogg AI game. Yeah. Possibly one of the worst 00:24:41.420 --> 00:24:48.079 games I have ever seen in my life. And I'm talking, 00:24:48.140 --> 00:24:51.420 you remember that King Kong game that came out 00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:53.660 where there was an actual fucking JPEG in the 00:24:53.660 --> 00:24:55.480 middle of one of the cutscenes? I'm talking it's 00:24:55.480 --> 00:25:01.279 worse than that. It's fucking horrendous. Horrendous. 00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:05.299 There's 14 ,000 people. 14 ,000 employees are 00:25:05.299 --> 00:25:07.640 losing their job. They're not just specifically 00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.680 from the gaming section of Amazon. It's a corporate 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:15.079 -wide thing. However, as far as I'm aware from 00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:16.799 what I've been reading, Amazon's stance is that 00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:20.740 they want to move to the more casual games and 00:25:20.740 --> 00:25:25.220 AI -focused gaming, which is fantastically shit. 00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:29.000 Awfully shit. But what's even more mad is that 00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.480 they had a massive content release for New World. 00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:36.599 That was free, which put it in the top 10 Steam 00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:41.259 charts for a while, give it a nice chunky resurgence, 00:25:41.500 --> 00:25:44.200 and then they've binned it off. No, not just 00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:46.559 that. They also let everyone buy the season pass. 00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:48.799 Yeah, and then they're not refunding. No. They're 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.259 refusing to refund. So as far as I'm aware, even 00:25:52.259 --> 00:25:56.279 now, you can still buy the game. Yep, you can. 00:25:56.579 --> 00:26:00.299 And the store in the game is still open, and 00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:04.400 you can still buy currency. but you can't refund 00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:07.700 anything. Of course not. Which is just amazing. 00:26:08.099 --> 00:26:09.839 It's very consumer -friendly, I thought. But 00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:12.079 they're going to keep the servers, so it's going 00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:14.279 into maintenance mode. The servers will be active 00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:16.819 all throughout 2026, but they've said that there 00:26:16.819 --> 00:26:20.660 will be no further content update, including 00:26:20.660 --> 00:26:25.500 seasonal updates. So things like Christmas events 00:26:25.500 --> 00:26:28.099 and shit like that won't be happening, as far 00:26:28.099 --> 00:26:33.660 as I'm aware. And yeah, and then they haven't 00:26:33.660 --> 00:26:35.460 said that they're going to sunset the servers. 00:26:35.579 --> 00:26:37.440 If you're banging them into maintenance mode, 00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:39.819 everyone's going to fuck off. You're going to 00:26:39.819 --> 00:26:42.160 sunset it anyway. It's done. It's done. If you're 00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:43.440 saying you're not going to release any content, 00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:46.819 there's a petition going out trying to get them 00:26:46.819 --> 00:26:52.240 to continue making. Sell it, man. Sell it. If 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:54.740 you don't want it, they're going to ask silly 00:26:54.740 --> 00:26:57.099 money for it. 200 million, maybe more. Who knows? 00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:59.819 Sell it cheap. If you don't fucking want it... 00:27:00.250 --> 00:27:02.009 if someone's willing to give you five million 00:27:02.009 --> 00:27:04.470 for it fucking take it because it's five million 00:27:04.470 --> 00:27:06.509 you're not going to have and it's off your fucking 00:27:06.509 --> 00:27:08.849 head then and take it and let someone else have 00:27:08.849 --> 00:27:11.170 a crack at the whip because it's got a massive 00:27:11.170 --> 00:27:13.609 following a lot of people love that game there's 00:27:13.609 --> 00:27:15.950 a complete and utter outrage and uproar about 00:27:15.950 --> 00:27:19.099 it So there is demand for it, but obviously they 00:27:19.099 --> 00:27:21.240 don't see the financial benefit of it, but another 00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:24.420 team might. So this week, Amazon confirmed it 00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:26.599 was walking away from making new content for 00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:29.079 its MMO New World amid huge layoffs affecting 00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:31.599 14 ,000 roles at the company, according to a 00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.539 report by Bloomberg. These layoffs included significant 00:27:34.539 --> 00:27:37.420 cuts to Amazon's video game operation, which 00:27:37.420 --> 00:27:39.680 will reduce development work and layoff staff 00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:43.680 mainly in its Irvine and San Diego offices. Bloomberg 00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:46.579 said Amazon was cutting back, especially in MMOs. 00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:49.779 That sparked concern for Lord of the Rings MMO. 00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:53.680 This morning I was part of the layoffs at Amazon 00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:55.859 Games alongside my incredibly talented peers 00:27:55.859 --> 00:27:59.119 on New World and our fledgling Lord of the Rings 00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:02.160 game. and in brackets it said you would have 00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:04.420 loved it the developer said in a now deleted 00:28:04.420 --> 00:28:07.160 post on LinkedIn it's always tough to see such 00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:08.980 a strong team go through something like this 00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:10.539 I've been lucky to work with some of the most 00:28:10.539 --> 00:28:12.660 skilled creative and kind developers I've ever 00:28:12.660 --> 00:28:16.220 met although Lord of the Rings was announced 00:28:16.220 --> 00:28:18.759 in 2023 in August last year Amazon Games boss 00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.279 Christoph Hartmann told IGN it was still in still 00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:25.880 early days we're still trying to find the hook 00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:30.720 bloody bloody blah In 2013, Embracer said it 00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:32.960 needed to be exploiting Lord of the Rings in 00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:36.299 very significant fashion by turning it into one 00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:38.400 of the biggest gaming franchises in the world. 00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:41.599 Just reading that. Exploiting Lord of the Rings 00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:44.480 in a very significant fashion. No, so what you're 00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:46.180 saying there is that you want to try and get 00:28:46.180 --> 00:28:49.339 as much profit out of Lord of the Rings as possible. 00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:54.380 Exploiting. I want to exploit this game. I want 00:28:54.380 --> 00:28:58.049 to exploit this genre. Is that dead? Sorry? Is 00:28:58.049 --> 00:29:00.829 the Lord of the Rings MMO dead? Yeah. Yeah, it's 00:29:00.829 --> 00:29:04.910 done. It's dead. What a waste. It's the same 00:29:04.910 --> 00:29:07.150 as Disney having Star Wars IP. It says, this 00:29:07.150 --> 00:29:09.369 isn't the first time, sorry, Amazon has cancelled 00:29:09.369 --> 00:29:11.809 the Lord of the Rings MMO. In 2021, it halted 00:29:11.809 --> 00:29:14.410 a Lord of the Rings MMORPG that was first announced 00:29:14.410 --> 00:29:17.269 in 2019 amid a contract dispute with Tencent. 00:29:18.630 --> 00:29:22.490 But yeah, it's... Yeah, it's dead. It's dead 00:29:22.490 --> 00:29:28.920 in the water, unfortunately. More waste. They 00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:31.500 made that TV show which people don't like. I 00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:34.920 enjoyed it for what it was. But massive Lord 00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:37.200 of the Rings fans are not so keen on it. And 00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:40.519 now they've cancelled the MMO. It's one of the 00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:42.319 biggest IPs along with Star Wars and they're 00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:46.400 just getting butchered. What is going on? I just 00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:50.299 don't understand why... How have you not had 00:29:50.299 --> 00:29:52.319 a really good Lord of the Rings game? Modern 00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:54.640 Lord of the Rings game. What is going on with 00:29:54.640 --> 00:30:00.289 that? Where is it, man? Well, it's the same as 00:30:00.289 --> 00:30:04.490 the fucking Star Wars problem. It's just not 00:30:04.490 --> 00:30:06.289 something that people want to tap into. I don't 00:30:06.289 --> 00:30:07.730 know why. I really don't know why. I think they're 00:30:07.730 --> 00:30:11.390 scared, man. They're scared. It's too big for 00:30:11.390 --> 00:30:14.450 them. The Lord of the Rings MMO is still active. 00:30:14.710 --> 00:30:17.890 There is Lord of the Rings online. But it's not 00:30:17.890 --> 00:30:19.769 the new one that they were creating. No, no, 00:30:19.769 --> 00:30:25.039 no. That has an active player base. i think it 00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:29.279 still gets updates now um but yeah they haven't 00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:33.940 there is i don't i don't know man i don't know 00:30:33.940 --> 00:30:36.480 i don't know why you would cancel new world like 00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:39.220 you say fucking sell it off let someone else 00:30:39.220 --> 00:30:41.819 deal with it rather than just canceling the thing 00:30:41.819 --> 00:30:45.140 cancel it yourself but sell the fucking thing 00:30:45.140 --> 00:30:47.299 off to someone else there will be someone else 00:30:47.299 --> 00:30:49.460 that will want to buy that there will be someone 00:30:49.460 --> 00:30:51.319 else who can pick that up there'll be streamers 00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:53.759 that can afford to pay for that so fucking give 00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:56.500 it over to them give it to someone else let them 00:30:56.500 --> 00:30:58.420 deal with this shit at least you get some form 00:30:58.420 --> 00:31:00.700 of money back rather than just rather than just 00:31:00.700 --> 00:31:02.680 sunsetting it like I don't no one's going to 00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:04.680 spend no money on it now you've said that so 00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:06.640 you're not going to receive any more finances 00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:09.359 so sell it receive no further content updates 00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:11.680 and could be gone completely by the end of 2026 00:31:12.980 --> 00:31:15.440 It says, after four years of steady content updates 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.940 and a major new console release, that's the point. 00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:20.000 It just came to fucking console as well. Go back 00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:22.720 100 episodes or so ago, you'll see the exact 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:25.740 conversation when I had the dilemma at the old 00:31:25.740 --> 00:31:29.099 place we did the pod, saying, I want to play 00:31:29.099 --> 00:31:31.200 New World, I want to play World of Warcraft, 00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:33.680 and I want to play whatever the other new one 00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:35.640 was. There was loads of MMOs, and I wanted to 00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:37.259 pick one. I couldn't pick one, and I wanted one 00:31:37.259 --> 00:31:40.200 that would survive. New World, in that short 00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:45.059 space of time, is dead. I spent the big bucks 00:31:45.059 --> 00:31:47.380 deluxe version I bought the game as well. Not 00:31:47.380 --> 00:31:50.339 silly money, but stupid enough. And it's dead. 00:31:50.619 --> 00:31:52.500 Don't get me wrong, I haven't played it for a 00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:55.230 long time, but... The fact that it's dead already 00:31:55.230 --> 00:31:57.390 is disgusting. It's mad. And when you've got 00:31:57.390 --> 00:32:00.109 World of Warcraft still piling on years later. 00:32:00.410 --> 00:32:02.750 We've reached a point where it is no longer sustainable 00:32:02.750 --> 00:32:04.650 to continue supporting the game with content 00:32:04.650 --> 00:32:07.730 updates. The recently launched Season 10 and 00:32:07.730 --> 00:32:09.869 Nighthaven update will serve as the final content 00:32:09.869 --> 00:32:13.069 release for New World on PC and consoles. It 00:32:13.069 --> 00:32:15.210 is only after much consideration that we've reached 00:32:15.210 --> 00:32:17.650 this decision. To thank you, the New World community, 00:32:17.869 --> 00:32:19.710 for your support over the years, we've made the 00:32:19.710 --> 00:32:21.809 Nighthaven release available to you for free. 00:32:22.029 --> 00:32:24.309 To ensure all New World players can experience 00:32:24.309 --> 00:32:26.769 this content, we also made Rise of the Angry 00:32:26.769 --> 00:32:29.289 Earth free for all PC players. Well, thanks. 00:32:29.650 --> 00:32:31.349 Thank you that you've made the game that you're 00:32:31.349 --> 00:32:34.490 getting rid of free. This comes as a genuine 00:32:34.490 --> 00:32:37.029 surprise to me, a shock really. New World wasn't 00:32:37.029 --> 00:32:39.390 a huge hit by any means, but seemed a reasonably 00:32:39.390 --> 00:32:41.789 successful mid -tier MMO, which quite frankly 00:32:41.789 --> 00:32:43.630 is about as good as Amazon Games has managed 00:32:43.630 --> 00:32:46.730 its concurrent player count. Ebden flowed, but 00:32:46.730 --> 00:32:49.289 peaks of 50 ,000 and 60 ,000 players suggest 00:32:49.289 --> 00:32:51.650 to me that the players are there. The failure 00:32:51.650 --> 00:32:55.329 is in keeping them engaged. New World Alternum 00:32:55.329 --> 00:32:57.809 will remain available for purchase, and you'll 00:32:57.809 --> 00:33:00.130 still be able to buy in -game currency as usual, 00:33:00.230 --> 00:33:02.289 although I'm not sure why you'd want to, because 00:33:02.289 --> 00:33:03.970 let's be honest here, the countdown clock is 00:33:03.970 --> 00:33:06.509 ticking. New World isn't being taken offline 00:33:06.509 --> 00:33:08.450 right away, and Amazon said it will continue 00:33:08.450 --> 00:33:11.329 to keep the game running smoothly with bug fixes 00:33:11.329 --> 00:33:14.329 and server merges as necessary. World bosses, 00:33:14.349 --> 00:33:17.049 bonus weeks. And some seasonal events will also 00:33:17.049 --> 00:33:20.789 continue, so New World will keep ticking along 00:33:20.789 --> 00:33:23.369 without any major hitches, at least until it 00:33:23.369 --> 00:33:25.210 becomes obvious that nothing new has happened 00:33:25.210 --> 00:33:34.410 in the past six months or so. Yeah. Yeah. That's 00:33:34.410 --> 00:33:38.890 just mad. I just find it... But then... Let me 00:33:38.890 --> 00:33:46.769 find some shit on this fucking WAF AI. Amazon 00:33:46.769 --> 00:33:52.069 courthouse. What was it called? I don't know. 00:33:52.150 --> 00:33:55.029 Just like Snoop Dogg AI video game or something. 00:33:55.130 --> 00:33:57.769 That'll come up, won't it? What's happening, 00:33:57.890 --> 00:34:03.349 motherfuckers? Oh, courtroom chaos. Yeah, fucking... 00:34:03.349 --> 00:34:16.559 Courtroom chaos. That's fucking... Courtroom 00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:22.960 Chaos starring Snoop Dogg. Obviously all the 00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:27.699 first articles are good articles. There's nothing... 00:34:27.699 --> 00:34:33.559 Amazon breaks glass marked AI powered Snoop Dogg 00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:35.840 game where he's a judge to get you to pay attention 00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:39.820 to its wilting lunar streaming service. A cursory 00:34:39.820 --> 00:34:42.199 search tells me that the last time Amazon's lunar 00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:44.460 cloud gaming service... The greatest pages of 00:34:44.460 --> 00:34:46.179 the website was in February, blah, blah, blah. 00:34:49.139 --> 00:34:52.139 Next time you fire up Luna, old Bezos will present 00:34:52.139 --> 00:34:54.599 you with Game Night, the service's new hub, which 00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:56.760 will present you with a glittering array of casual 00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:59.139 games that everyone from you to your Meemaw, 00:34:59.340 --> 00:35:02.400 Meemaw, can fire up and join in with just by 00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:05.010 scanning a QR code with your phone. And yes, 00:35:05.130 --> 00:35:07.750 foremost among these new casual games is Courtroom 00:35:07.750 --> 00:35:11.010 Chaos, starring Snoop Dogg, which Amazon calls 00:35:11.010 --> 00:35:14.010 a human -built, AI -powered improv courtroom 00:35:14.010 --> 00:35:17.190 game where players invent outrageous characters, 00:35:17.489 --> 00:35:20.469 spin wild stories, and do whatever it takes to 00:35:20.469 --> 00:35:23.750 defend their testimonies before Judge Snoop Dogg. 00:35:23.789 --> 00:35:25.949 I simultaneously want to hear much more about 00:35:25.949 --> 00:35:30.269 it and much less. Fantastic. It's fucking awful. 00:35:30.469 --> 00:35:32.769 It's awful. There's a trailer for it. It's basically... 00:35:34.610 --> 00:35:37.349 It's Snoop Dogg sat in a courtroom, obviously 00:35:37.349 --> 00:35:39.809 like a cartoon. And then as far as I'm aware, 00:35:39.929 --> 00:35:45.409 you speak into your phone and set the basis for 00:35:45.409 --> 00:35:48.150 the case. And you're meant to play it with friends 00:35:48.150 --> 00:35:51.190 in a group setting where half of you are the 00:35:51.190 --> 00:35:53.210 defense and then half of you are the fucking 00:35:53.210 --> 00:35:56.750 whatever the other version is of the defense. 00:35:57.010 --> 00:36:00.329 I can't remember what they're called. The prosecutors. 00:36:00.349 --> 00:36:04.210 The prosecutors. And then you come up with this 00:36:04.210 --> 00:36:08.250 wild story and then Snoop Dogg, powered by AI, 00:36:08.429 --> 00:36:11.230 responds to what you're saying and asks you questions 00:36:11.230 --> 00:36:13.289 and shit like that. I mean, yeah, but the concept 00:36:13.289 --> 00:36:15.050 of that is pretty cool, pretty funny. But not 00:36:15.050 --> 00:36:18.170 to cancel Lord of the Rings and New World. If 00:36:18.170 --> 00:36:19.969 you want to do that on the side as a little bit 00:36:19.969 --> 00:36:22.929 of fun, it might be a cool little game. But to 00:36:22.929 --> 00:36:26.230 cancel and all them people lose their jobs, if 00:36:26.230 --> 00:36:27.530 you're putting all your eggs in this basket, 00:36:27.610 --> 00:36:31.150 seems like a very strange manoeuvre. A fucking... 00:36:32.460 --> 00:36:35.940 It's so dumb. It's very dumb. So it seems. But 00:36:35.940 --> 00:36:37.599 then why does this sort of stuff keep happening? 00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:40.800 Why does it feel? It's very much like football, 00:36:40.940 --> 00:36:43.940 right? It feels like everybody that isn't paid 00:36:43.940 --> 00:36:47.260 to do the job of the managers or everyone that 00:36:47.260 --> 00:36:50.460 is not a game developer or makes the commercial 00:36:50.460 --> 00:36:53.800 decisions on video games, everybody knows better 00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:56.869 or sees. the bigger picture that they can't see? 00:36:56.949 --> 00:36:59.769 Are they too entwined in what they're doing to 00:36:59.769 --> 00:37:02.610 not notice obvious things? There you go. Amazon 00:37:02.610 --> 00:37:06.590 is focusing its gaming efforts on AI and casual 00:37:06.590 --> 00:37:08.829 games for its Lunar Cloud streaming service, 00:37:08.929 --> 00:37:10.849 including the Courtroom Chaos starring Snoop 00:37:10.849 --> 00:37:13.070 Dogg game. Just the fact that it says starring 00:37:13.070 --> 00:37:15.780 Snoop Dogg at the end. End of the title pisses 00:37:15.780 --> 00:37:18.380 me off. This shift involves halting significant 00:37:18.380 --> 00:37:21.380 AAA game development to invest in AI technologies 00:37:21.380 --> 00:37:25.159 and casual party style games aiming to make Luna 00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:29.960 a more accessible and profitable platform. You 00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:34.880 dumb cunts. You fucking dumb, dumb cunts. It's 00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:38.980 so boring. There'll be a small minority of people 00:37:38.980 --> 00:37:41.780 that that's really fun for. Like with the Nintendo 00:37:41.780 --> 00:37:45.039 Switch and you can do the party thing. It's fun. 00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:47.659 It's good. You ain't cracking it out on a daily. 00:37:48.179 --> 00:37:50.599 You ain't fucking doing that. You ain't partying 00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:52.940 every day. You ain't cracking that out at a party 00:37:52.940 --> 00:37:57.559 every single time you go. It's fun, but it's 00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:04.519 not fucking game changer. So why with the money 00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:07.739 that Amazon has at its disposal would you... 00:38:09.610 --> 00:38:13.329 It's so boring. It's so lazy. If you're going 00:38:13.329 --> 00:38:16.530 to cancel New World, focus all your endeavours 00:38:16.530 --> 00:38:19.150 on Lord of the Rings MMO. Make that the best 00:38:19.150 --> 00:38:23.269 MMO. Yeah, yeah. Why cancel that and run with 00:38:23.269 --> 00:38:26.829 this? Because they obviously... Amazon doesn't 00:38:26.829 --> 00:38:30.389 know anything about gaming. Yeah, but they must 00:38:30.389 --> 00:38:33.030 employ people that do know. Exactly. So what 00:38:33.030 --> 00:38:34.469 are they doing? They must employ people that 00:38:34.469 --> 00:38:37.869 do know, but think of Amazon as an actual being. 00:38:38.070 --> 00:38:41.170 I don't think that company knows anything about 00:38:41.170 --> 00:38:46.050 gaming. So has obviously seen MMOs and MMORPGs 00:38:46.050 --> 00:38:48.730 as something that they can break into and make 00:38:48.730 --> 00:38:51.190 a shitload of money out of. Found out it's very 00:38:51.190 --> 00:38:53.070 difficult to actually do that because there's 00:38:53.070 --> 00:38:55.150 some absolute powerhouses that you're trying 00:38:55.150 --> 00:39:00.889 to take away from. failed at it, and is now going 00:39:00.889 --> 00:39:04.190 for the... The fact that it's going to AI games 00:39:04.190 --> 00:39:05.829 as well, you ain't even fucking making them. 00:39:06.690 --> 00:39:08.750 You ain't even making them. You're putting the 00:39:08.750 --> 00:39:10.210 building blocks in, and then you're getting a 00:39:10.210 --> 00:39:12.610 computer to go, finish that. Finish that and 00:39:12.610 --> 00:39:16.670 crack on with it. What a fucking... I mean, for 00:39:16.670 --> 00:39:19.670 the party side of it, I agree. As the game as 00:39:19.670 --> 00:39:22.230 a whole, that seems quite cool. For the cost 00:39:22.230 --> 00:39:24.889 of what you've made. What you've sacrificed to 00:39:24.889 --> 00:39:27.289 make. It's not worth it. No. But everyone's always 00:39:27.289 --> 00:39:29.090 wanted that. I want a game that fucking talks 00:39:29.090 --> 00:39:30.929 back to me and blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, 00:39:30.989 --> 00:39:33.030 that's great. And I'm sure you can get some funny 00:39:33.030 --> 00:39:38.110 stories out of it. But fuck me. What a fool. 00:39:38.289 --> 00:39:41.349 You're going from AAA games or trying to create 00:39:41.349 --> 00:39:47.989 AAA games to party -based, casual, fun AI games. 00:39:48.530 --> 00:39:51.889 It's just not going to take off. No. It's just 00:39:51.889 --> 00:39:55.090 not going to work. They've nailed their own coffin 00:39:55.090 --> 00:39:57.409 in the gaming industry, I believe. They're not 00:39:57.409 --> 00:39:59.630 going to come back from that, are they? Unless 00:39:59.630 --> 00:40:02.250 something crazy happens. They're putting all 00:40:02.250 --> 00:40:04.090 their eggs on their Luna basket, which, fair 00:40:04.090 --> 00:40:06.670 enough, I ain't got anything against Luna. It's 00:40:06.670 --> 00:40:11.309 getting better and better by the week. But if 00:40:11.309 --> 00:40:15.650 you want to break into that world, stay breaking 00:40:15.650 --> 00:40:19.130 into that world. Don't try and fucking... Involve 00:40:19.130 --> 00:40:20.710 yourself in MMOs. Especially when you've gone 00:40:20.710 --> 00:40:22.429 through the efforts of making one. Because I 00:40:22.429 --> 00:40:24.289 know New World when it was released was a hot 00:40:24.289 --> 00:40:28.369 mess. But they slowly over time have sorted that. 00:40:28.949 --> 00:40:32.650 I just feel like it's one of those where allow 00:40:32.650 --> 00:40:36.230 it to have its resurgence properly. You've just 00:40:36.230 --> 00:40:38.010 released it on console. You've just released 00:40:38.010 --> 00:40:41.449 a massive update for it that was received very 00:40:41.449 --> 00:40:45.530 well. Let people crack on with it. Or like you 00:40:45.530 --> 00:40:48.800 said, fucking sell it to someone else. Get rid 00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:52.260 of it. Give it to someone else. It's a sad, sad 00:40:52.260 --> 00:40:58.619 day for gaming. Why would you get... It's just 00:40:58.619 --> 00:41:01.420 such a Bezos thing to do. Shall we buy it? It's 00:41:01.420 --> 00:41:04.800 such a stupid billionaire thing to do. Let's 00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:07.239 get AI to do everything. Oh, you're so fucking 00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:10.420 stupid. You're such a dumb cunt. We'll start 00:41:10.420 --> 00:41:15.619 the bidding at £50. You're closing it down. Just 00:41:15.619 --> 00:41:18.500 give it to someone. Give it to something. Give 00:41:18.500 --> 00:41:20.599 it to Blizzard. Give it to fucking whoever. On 00:41:20.599 --> 00:41:24.039 the plus side, silver lining to everything that's 00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:28.380 going on, it was announced that with the latest 00:41:28.380 --> 00:41:31.139 Xbox that comes out, the next generation of Xbox, 00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:32.920 you will be able to play World of Warcraft on 00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:36.719 it, which is quite interesting. It shouldn't 00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:38.980 have a next generation. It feels like this has 00:41:38.980 --> 00:41:41.139 just come out. That's in like 2027 is what they're 00:41:41.139 --> 00:41:44.159 saying. But that's because apparently the next 00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:47.380 Xbox is going to be a PC rather than an actual 00:41:47.380 --> 00:41:50.940 fucking console. So it will be able to, much 00:41:50.940 --> 00:41:53.239 like a Steam Deck, be able to be on a windowed 00:41:53.239 --> 00:41:57.199 mode and use the Battle .net launcher. And it 00:41:57.199 --> 00:41:59.320 was named specifically that it will be able to 00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:02.219 launch World of Warcraft, which you could then 00:42:02.219 --> 00:42:05.090 format to a controller, blah, blah, blah. So 00:42:05.090 --> 00:42:08.469 it's not the thing that everyone thought it was 00:42:08.469 --> 00:42:10.110 going to be, but it's heading in that sort of 00:42:10.110 --> 00:42:13.150 direction. But I'm just fucking miffed by it. 00:42:13.449 --> 00:42:18.230 It was that game. Courtroom Chaos starring Snoop 00:42:18.230 --> 00:42:26.750 Dogg. That's so shit. That is... That's so wank. 00:42:27.130 --> 00:42:31.760 Sums it up, man. sums amazon up as a game studios 00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:34.219 unfortunately amazon has relaunched its lunar 00:42:34.219 --> 00:42:36.179 cloud gaming service with a new structure that 00:42:36.179 --> 00:42:38.579 emphasizes casual and party games accessible 00:42:38.579 --> 00:42:41.199 directly through the cloud without downloads 00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:44.980 so i like lunar for that aspect i think as a 00:42:44.980 --> 00:42:49.380 whole lunar for party based games that's fabulous 00:42:49.380 --> 00:42:53.239 that makes perfect sense you're not playing competitive 00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:57.599 online games with amazon lunar effectively or 00:42:58.329 --> 00:43:02.170 big triple a games so for those littler games 00:43:02.170 --> 00:43:06.210 and for stuff like that it sounds great get on 00:43:06.210 --> 00:43:08.050 the fucking fire stick you know i mean like that's 00:43:08.050 --> 00:43:09.889 perfect you ain't gonna download anything just 00:43:09.889 --> 00:43:14.369 straight stream it decent keep it there because 00:43:14.369 --> 00:43:17.170 outside of that is shit a new feature called 00:43:17.170 --> 00:43:19.269 game night includes a selection of party games 00:43:19.269 --> 00:43:21.110 which can be played on mobile phones without 00:43:21.110 --> 00:43:24.190 a separate app um a key feature is courtroom 00:43:24.190 --> 00:43:27.570 chaos blah blah blah shut the fuck up The move 00:43:27.570 --> 00:43:29.710 is part of a broader strategy to pivot away from 00:43:29.710 --> 00:43:33.409 expensive large AAA games and instead focus on 00:43:33.409 --> 00:43:35.329 the lunar subscription service and AI -driven 00:43:35.329 --> 00:43:39.889 games. Broader implications. Amazon has made 00:43:39.889 --> 00:43:41.650 the difficult decision to halt a significant 00:43:41.650 --> 00:43:43.750 amount of its first -party AAA game development, 00:43:43.889 --> 00:43:47.869 particularly MMOs, confirmed in an internal memo. 00:43:47.989 --> 00:43:50.030 The company may continue to work on existing 00:43:50.030 --> 00:43:52.969 AAA game projects, but likely only to fulfill 00:43:52.969 --> 00:43:56.849 contractual obligations. Amazon is also leveraging 00:43:56.849 --> 00:44:00.730 its Amazon Web Services to provide infrastructure 00:44:00.730 --> 00:44:03.829 for AI development, such as with its SageMaker 00:44:03.829 --> 00:44:11.449 service for game creation. I mean, it's a decent 00:44:11.449 --> 00:44:15.949 money stream and innovation pump into AI, which 00:44:15.949 --> 00:44:19.050 is fair enough. But I think, yeah, I'm just butthurt 00:44:19.050 --> 00:44:21.250 that the Lord of the Rings MMO is just being 00:44:21.250 --> 00:44:23.769 fucking binned off. It's just miserable, isn't 00:44:23.769 --> 00:44:26.150 it? It was a miserable turn of events. Fucking 00:44:26.150 --> 00:44:29.110 stupid. And then all them developers and everything, 00:44:29.230 --> 00:44:31.750 apparently they didn't even know from what I've 00:44:31.750 --> 00:44:33.250 been reading. They literally just got an email 00:44:33.250 --> 00:44:38.130 saying, yeah, you're done. Bye. Yeah. For fuck's 00:44:38.130 --> 00:44:41.809 sake. Cut for them. People out of work probably 00:44:41.809 --> 00:44:44.269 relocated their entire families to do these jobs 00:44:44.269 --> 00:44:52.010 and just, yeah, cut. Savage. Billionaire bullshit. 00:44:52.570 --> 00:44:57.179 Damn straight. Oh well. End that on a somber 00:44:57.179 --> 00:45:02.699 note then. Yeah. Oh well. Oh well. We've got 00:45:02.699 --> 00:45:05.559 Outer Worlds 2 and Battlefield and Little Nightmares 00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:08.519 3 and shit like that. And Ball X Pit. And Ball 00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:12.059 X Pit. And Mega Bonk. And Mega Bonk. And Nessess. 00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:15.800 And Nessess. See you later everyone. Oostie Roostie.
