I'd like to open up the floor by, number one,
welcoming people to this audacious podcast. That
word can work in there. Number two, I'd like
to slag Dean Warwick off a little bit more, off
of the back of our... Last podcast, because you
decided to give it lots and lots of beans over
WhatsApp, especially considering how much we
slagged him over his inability to play Elden
Ring. Guess what he's doing now? What is he doing
now, my friend? He's playing Elden Ring. Is he
actually doing it? Yeah, yeah. Because he folded
like a little bitch. Because we hit his ego and
he couldn't handle it. We also attacked him even
more on the Patreon, but he wouldn't know because
he didn't fucking pay for that. And yeah, now
he's playing Elden Ring and decided to do what
we predicted he would do, and that was send me
all of his boring stats about all these fucking
Platinum fucking Sekiro, Platinum Bloodborne,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And
then telling me why Elden Ring's so shit and
nothing like Sekiro, which it isn't because they're
two completely different games. And why he wouldn't
play Elden Ring and how easy it is. And now,
look, he's playing Elden Ring. And I'm sure he's
having a wonderful time. I reckon he is. I don't
know how you don't have a wonderful time playing
that Masterpiece game. Well, he said that the...
He told me that the world was... I think he said
empty and boring. And I said, get off the fucking
phone. I'm donating to a charity, mate. You want
to... I'm sorry, but I'm donating to the charity
geese. Oh, to fucking thingies? Yeah, mate. Oh,
the hiking thing. It's dead air, I need you.
Carry on. What do you need me for? I can't remember
what I was saying. Well, because it's a conversation.
Yeah, I know, Elden Ring, but this is a cancer
charity, mate, and I'm doing my bit. You know
when you donated bits of your body through blood
stem cell transfusion? Yeah. I do that financially,
because I don't want to get my blood transfused.
So let me do my thing and you do your thing.
You don't get your blood transfused. Whatever
you did, yeah? Take a bit out of your blood.
Yeah, all right. Well, explain that for a bit
while I continue to pay this. And then everyone's
Gucci, isn't they? How much are you paying? I'm
trying to read. Quickly, let me read it. You
don't need to read. I does because I'm trying
to get gift aid and it's asking me all these
fucking questions. How does gift aid work? Well,
if it's your money and you're not doing it. How
does gift aid work? If it's your money, they
add a little bit on top, didn't they? The government
gives you like 25 % or something. Do they? This
is all my own money. I'm receiving something
in exchange. No, I'm not. I'm not receiving anything
in exchange for this money. Great, your donation
is eligible for gift aid. So then it gives them
an extra... Reclaim basic rate tax on donations
made by UK taxpayers adding 25 % of the value
of gifts at no extra cost to the donor. Yeah,
so I give him a score. He gets 25 quid. Why is
that not just done by default? Because if you're
doing it through a... Oh, they claim... Yeah,
so for every quid donated, the charity claims
25p from the HMRC. I don't know, mate. All I'm
doing is doing my bit, man. There you go. Done.
This is what AI says. And AI knows best. AI does
know best. I'm all out of breath now. How am
I out of breath? I haven't moved. That's that
office life. Cardiovascular systems. Fucking...
Tumbled and crumbled, mate. Oh, don't know, Gaze.
I'm just a mess, man. Just a big, fat, sloppy
mess. All right, so that's great. So no one's
donating to my wife, yeah? Good to know. Fuck
you all. Fuck you all. Yeah, I'll remember that.
I will remember that. Fuck all you. Fuck all
your bread. You posted it. You posted it. Everyone's
read it. You didn't even donate. You said, oh,
wait till I get paid, mate. I'll give you a tenner.
Oh, I forgot to be fair. I've got it now. We've
got it now. Second time. Oh, I forgot. It was
after the podcast. But it said, I mean, Eric
said another good cause. Yeah, I know. I hearted
it. That's what I do. Your bonsai tree's dead,
man. No, it ain't. It's struggling. It ain't
struggling. It's struggling, bruv. You said that
last time and then the next time you see it,
it's got all leaves on it. Nah, it's definitely
struggling. I don't need you to tell me how to
look after the fucking bonsai. That thing's been
going for four years. Where were we? Let's go.
I'm all yours now. Let's go. Elden Ring. Dean
Warwick. He's a cunt. How about that? Let's get
that out there. You want to ring me? Or do you
want to call me a politician again? You motherfucker.
Let's go. Come on. Does he call you a politician?
I'm ready for war. Don't trust me no more. He's
like, you're one of them, G. You talk like a
politician now, fam. I'm still exactly the same
little street rat I always have been. Just mind
my P's and Q's now, dickhead. Yeah, he says the
same shit to me. Elderly is a great game. Suck
your mum. How about that? Yeah, let's live with
that one. So I'm going to assume that you haven't
been playing anything. Well, no. Yeah, I haven't.
Last couple of days. Maybe not even this week.
I might not have played anything. I've been bollocks,
mate. I've been trying to go to bed at like half
eight. So, well, obviously the big one is Crimson
Desert, obviously. Oh, yeah. That's the big one
that we want to... Have you touched any of it?
I've just been charged by TFL seven quid. Fair
enough. Why has that just happened? Why have
TFL just charged me seven quid? I don't know.
Why have they... Why have they... CH. Have you
tapped in anywhere and then not tapped out? No.
You haven't been out on site at all, have you?
No. You haven't used the train at all? No. I've
been at work. I don't know, man. Anyway, we move.
So yeah, Crimson Desert, not online. Crimson
Desert came out mixed bag, not great reviews.
It was always going to be a polarizing game.
However, I ignored the reviews. I went in blind,
so to speak. And a lot of my favorite reviewers
were bigging it up. Luke Stevens, ACG, Fighting
Cowboy, all the ones that play similar games
to me are like, no, no, no, this game's goated.
It's just, you know, it's one of them. You like
it or you hate it. You love it or you hate it.
So I was like, well, they all like the same games
as me, so I was like, I'll go into it. I must
preface that we haven't had this conversation
at all. Yeah, I know. So this is all new information
to me. So yeah, I bought it. The only trouble
I've had with it, is that I've been so tired
I haven't appreciated it. But the game itself,
would you like it? Probably not. And I'll tell
you for why. I already know I wouldn't like it.
Why do you think you wouldn't like it? Because
I just don't trust it. I've already got it in
my mind that at some point it's going to be shit.
But also, I've seen a lot of people saying how
you have to get past the intro. for it to to
really open up and i'm i'm terrible for games
where i have to get past the intro don't give
don't give me a shit intro i haven't reached
that stage of getting past an intro and i've
enjoyed it but what i will say is here's why
i think you wouldn't like it it originally started
off as an mmo yeah they transitioned it into
a single player game it feels like an mmo But
it's a single player game. The world is fucking
ginormous. Probably the biggest world I've ever
seen in a game. And the way certain things...
It's like they accidentally left mechanics in
the game that were supposed to be there on the
MMO thing. For example, when you... It's very
cool. They've got the coolest skill tree in any
game ever, for sure. And I haven't even delved
into it a little bit yet. But a lot of the things,
so you can buy skills with skill points and it's
very cool how it all works. However, you can
also learn skills without spending skill points.
What I mean by that is you can fight a boss and
if he does a certain move, whilst he's doing
it, like the screen slows down a little bit and
then a bar goes up of your learning the ability
that he's doing. If you do that multiple times,
you learn the ability yourself without spending
said skill point. But it's the bar that goes
up. If you find a recipe on the floor, you'll
pick it up. It's very Red Dead Redemption 2 where
you'll pick the paper up and you'll look at it.
You hold L1 to like... We'll get on the controls
in a minute. You hold L1 to look at the bit of
paper. And while you're looking at it, this bar's
going up, going like learning in progress. That's
very MMO -y. The biggest MMO -y thing I've seen
so far is when you die, you have these little
orbs that you can use. So you can either load...
restart at checkpoint kind of thing or use one
of these orbs to revive now for 30 % health that's
an MMO mechanic isn't it so it's got a lot of
it's got a lot of that but I tell you why I love
it and it's the reason why I love The Witcher
is because I can literally just put my headphones
on and I haven't enjoyed it like this yet because
I've been too tired I hope to this weekend I
can put my headphones on it's the kind of game
I can just get on a horse and not gallop i can
just trot along and just enjoy myself because
there's dynamic events happening you can pull
up to like a bounty board pull a poster off like
and you pull it off and look at it you see the
person's face you can go and capture the bounty
you can red dead it you can attack them on the
floor beat them up tie them up or you can kill
them all that sort of stuff so you can just kind
of exist in the world and like be like a bounty
hunter if you wanted to um There's a whole fucking,
and I'm scratching the surface, man. I'm like,
I'm not even 10 hours in. I mean, these people
are doing like 200 hours and still going, still
finding out stuff. Your dogs are fighting. Yeah,
they're fine. So you can, you can mine things.
You can, and like I say, I've seen nothing, but
I'm talking about the bare basics of things I've
found. You can mine stuff. You can, like, glide.
You can go into, like, sky islands. It's all
very weird. I've no idea what's going on. The
story is just non -existent, pretty much. Yeah.
Opening is very cool. And you're like, yeah,
this is going to be sick. And then it's like...
So, basically, spoiler alert for the opening
scene. Spoilers. You're like a Viking kind of
camp, kind of nomad warriors. These other gang
turn up and basically just... kill all your mates,
stab you up and then cut your throat and throw
you in a river. And then you kind of wake up
in a stream somewhere. Some geezer's saying,
you should leave. So he left. And then I'm rescuing
a cat off a roof. Found someone's sheep and then
the kids started crying that it wasn't the sheep
they asked me to find. There's no rhyme or reason
to it. Gave a beggar a coin, found a woman in
the fucking sewer. She then turned it into some
weird angel thing and then I was in the sky.
there is literally i'm not even paraphrasing
it doesn't make any sense i'm just like why am
i here now um so yeah the story is at the moment
non -existent but the boss fights and stuff very
akin to black myth wukong where it's just like
yeah you can just walk up a mountain and then
the coolest boss fight can just be there and
you'd be like what and then you're just in this
fucking cinematic masterpiece and you're like
why how is this here um and like i say all this
is before I've even scratched the surface on
fucking finding dragons to ride and burn down
entire cities and... And mech suits and jetpacks.
Forget that shit. Drop that shit out. I'll forget
about that because that'd just piss me off. But,
yeah, there's... So you didn't mind the mech
suits now? I didn't mind them because you don't
have to use them, but I don't want them. They're
canon for the lore as well, though. They fit
in. Whatever, man. Whatever. They are. Whatever.
I don't care. I've got the collector's edition
as well. I know. They fit in well. My knee hurts.
It's very cool. I love the game. I can't wait
to play it because it's just, like I say, it's
just a game that I can just put on because I'm
really, really, really, really nerdy and pathetic
because this is the sort of shit I do is I find
fun in climbing a mountain, getting my swords
out, waiting for like the sun to be in like the
right place. And then just like swing my swords
on top of a mountain in some cinematic looking
fucking camera angle and just pretend like I'm
practicing my sword fighting techniques. I enjoy
that. I'm immersed. I'm enjoying myself, man.
But not everyone like yourself, I'm sure, would
get enjoyment from doing that. So that's why
these games are polarizing because I love that
part of it. It's a sandbox. Everything's interactable.
I can pick up every fucking thing on the thing
in the world. You look at, I don't know, think
quickly, a plant pot on the side of a table.
You like... It's got a cool mechanic, by the
way. If you hold L1, it brings up this little
dot on the floor. So you can precision jump.
But yeah, you can use that to precision on items
as well. But if you've never touched that item,
you get that thing again, learning what the item
is. I mean, it could be something stupid like
a pumpkin. You know what a pumpkin is, but Cliff
doesn't for some reason. So he's like, oh yeah,
this is a pumpkin, blah, blah, blah. And yeah,
like I said, I'll just get lost in that sort
of shit. Whereas I understand some people will
find that very boring. The same reason that people
love Red Dead 1. Some people hated Red Dead 2
because it was so slow and deliberate and every
action needed to be done. Opening a drawer, getting
it out, shutting the drawer. It's very much akin
to that. And it just takes a lot out of all my
favourite games like The Witcher, Red Dead. Breath
of the Wild had amazing things about it but it
just wasn't what I enjoyed. So yeah, I think
it's a fantastic game. The user reviews have
shot right up. They've patched so much stuff.
They've been patching, patching, patching, patching.
And I think it really has the beginnings of a
hugely, hugely successful game, cult classic,
that's only going to grow in popularity. I wonder,
because obviously, yeah, it was originally designed
to be an MMO. And I wonder... how successful
it would remain or would be if it were to have
stayed as an MMO. I do wonder. They've got Black
Desert online, right? But then also the developers
are saying... Which is also extremely popular.
Yeah, but it's very heavily monetized, which
is why people don't like it as much. But the
developer has said that, depending on demand,
they're going to add DLCs, expansions, and multiplayer.
But what multiplayer means by that, I think,
do they do the GTA online? Is that what they're
intending? I think that's what I'm picking up.
That formula has always been hit and miss, but
at the same time has also had a great populace.
You think like Red Dead. Red Dead Online, very,
very successful. GTA Online, very, very, very
successful. Those are the two big, big hitters
where they're still very active and very successful.
Could Black Desert follow the same, sorry, Crimson
Desert follow the same formula of that? I don't
know. It's difficult. I think they've got the
advantage of they started it out as an MMO, backtracked
into a single player game, so the bones are there
of an MMO. Very transferable. I wonder if there's
some form of regret there where you'd go, oh
fuck, maybe we should have stuck it out and made
it an MMO. But obviously the problem with that
would be you have to maintain it continuously.
And I feel like with games like Crimson Desert,
it's almost like there's so much that you can
do. And that almost has a detrimental effect
from an MMO standpoint. I don't know what it
is. I don't know what it is about MMOs where
you have complete freedom and sandbox, where
it just doesn't work. It doesn't work in that
formula. If you're able to pick everything up.
Also, there has to be a running limitation on
it. Because if you're playing a game with hundreds
and hundreds of other people in the same space,
there ain't no fucking way that you're able to
interact with absolutely everything there. Because
then that means the other hundred people that
are with you can also interact with absolutely
everything there. But they're not going to be
able to interact with the thing that you're interacting
with and blah, blah, blah. There has to be a
way that you limit that. They built their own
engine. This is an engine that they've created.
So they have a lot more power than I think people
understand. And every year they've rebuilt the
engine that it's built on. So they've like created
this monster thing. And I don't know how it all
works, but the way it sounds from the people
that do understand it is very fucking impressive.
And yeah. It looks very good. No, it is very
good. Visually, it looks very good. I think if
you were still on TikTok or Instagram, you would
have seen some shit. Oh yeah, I would have, yeah.
Wow. And I'm glad you haven't because you'd just
be telling me loads of shit that I don't want
to know yet. Because I've got media blackout
on it. I don't want to know. Yeah, I'm completely
oblivious to it. I don't see any of it. The only
way that I'd ever see anything with Crimson Desert
is on my little news feed or YouTube. And I don't
because I don't search any of it. But yeah, you're
right. It has got very positive reviews on Steam.
But it started off not. Yeah. It's changed. And
I think it's got that Elden Ring power. Where
it's like, remember when Elden Ring just took
over social media and people were finding shit?
It's got that. It's got that massively. So it's
a very community -driven... But that's what happens
with massive games like that, man. Especially
when... But not necessarily. You have to have
the source. Because you can have fucking Avatar,
Pandora, Ubisoft, Slot, fucking Assassin's Creed.
People ain't doing shit about that. They're just
going, yeah, Assassin's Creed. It's just massive.
You know what I mean? It's different. It's got
its own secret source, man. Anyway. Well, most
complaints are about controls, which, not going
to lie, they're pretty annoying to get used to.
What was that about? The controls are fucking
horrific. Honestly, the worst control scheme
you'll ever witness. I don't know who put that
together. What sprint? X. Where you've got to
keep tapping it like you do on GTA and shit.
Yeah, weird. Jump is square. That's really weird.
Circle is dodge. But it's not just that. It's
like... i don't know it's hard to it's hard to
explain the controls make no sense and you have
to do all these weird combinations to get and
i'm not one of them people this this is the detriment
for me in this game is it's very like you can
do all sorts of different combos and stuff and
i'm like i'm not a combo man i just press square
man or whatever the fighting button is. I'm not
like R1, R2. Occasionally I might press them
together or change them up, but I'm not remembering
that you press R1 and circle and then R1 and
triangle with R2 held down. If you've got a list
of 20 different combos, I'm going to know about
two of them and then stick with them. Exactly,
that's my thing. As long as things die, I don't
care. He's very heavy on that, in that aspect.
Yeah, the controls stink like shit, but they
are sorting that out because I don't think you
can patch it. You can change it, but I think
ultimately... I was going to say, can you not
just change it? You might be able to, but I don't
think so. You wouldn't complain about it if you
could change it, surely. But I haven't looked.
I just assumed you couldn't. And I'm also scared
about changing controls because I think, well,
the developers put them like that for some reason
because there must be a reason they must be this
bad because there must be some things that are
just much easier to do this way. So I don't like
touching it. Let me get familiar with the game
before I start peeing around with it, you know
what I mean? But yeah. People do that though.
A lot of people just open up straight into a
game. Boom. Straight into the settings. I do.
Now. Let me judge everything around. I only change
like two things and that's subtitles on and performance
mode. Subtitles on, performance mode, motion
blur off. Oh yeah, and that. And normally film
grain gets turned off as well. Film grain and
fucking V -sync and all that bollocks. If I can,
field of view. I normally scale that up. Sometimes
I go as big as I can go. But yeah, other than
that, when it gets into the nitty -gritty with
controllers and sensitivity and stuff like that,
it's very rare that I'll jump in and start fucking
around with that. Because I'll be honest, I don't
really know what I'm doing. I don't know what
my Y -axis is. I haven't got a clue. I'm not
interested. But obviously that's more for an
FPS type thing anyway. It's not really for fucking...
I was reading the review because I skimmed through
it and I see World of Warcraft mentioned, but
it's nothing. It says my guy John Crimson just
defeated this biblically accurate... I'm listening.
Yeah, but I don't know if it fucking says it.
Don't tell me what it is then. Nothing there.
Reminds me of my multiple Lich King kills on
World of Warcraft for his mount. Murder and half
stone out. I don't know how that... Has relevance
to the rest that I read. But all in all, so you
feel like you made a worthy purchase. Well, it
was an expensive purchase, wasn't it? We won't
go into that. I don't know. Yes, you do. Was
it? No, it wasn't. It's a damn fine game. I heard
Gem come in and I was like, she was like, what's
that box? I was like, don't worry. And then I
like peeled it open. She looked at me with...
love and disappointment in like a mixed pot and
i know i looked at her she looked at me and i
was like she's very sweet because she pretends
to be like ah lovely i'm so happy that you're
smiling but inside she's like you fucking taking
the piss i've got all these i've got well i've
got loads now i've got elden ring collector's
edition um shadow of the earth tree collector's
edition i've got uh I've got two Elden Ring ones.
Yeah, now I've got Elden Ring Shadow of the Earth
Tree. I've got Night Rain because it was like
60 quid. I've got Baldur's Gate, the Magnum Opus.
I've got that one, what I've just said, Crimson
Desert. I've got Kingdom Come Deliverance 2,
the next edition. And also I won all them prizes,
remember? Yeah, that was cool. That was really
cool. Yeah, it was really cool. I'm very happy
about that. You never got a God of War one though,
did you? No, I didn't. I wasn't cool enough.
I wasn't brave enough at the time. But then I
also have the... Warhammer Dark Heresy one to
come. I've already paid for that months ago.
So it's free by now. That's why I like doing
it like that. Because it's just like it turns
up and I'm like this is all free. Yeah. Because
it's money that was like years ago. And there
might even be another one on the back burner
or it's just that Crimson Desert one I'm still
paying for. What's the other one on the back
burner? No, that's what I think. I thought it
might be another one but I think it's the Crimson
Desert one that I'm paying for. The next one
will probably be The Expanse. You ever heard
of that? Yeah, it rings a bell. I'm going to
Google it quick. It does ring a bell. It's a
really apparently popular and highly successful
sci -fi TV show. Osiris Reborn? Is that the...
It's being made by Alcat Games, which are the
same people that made Warhammer Rogue Trader
and Warhammer Dark Heresy. Yeah, I remember seeing
them. And Pathfinder and stuff like that. So
they're making like... They normally make CRPGs,
but this is their first attempt into like a...
and people are saying that it is pretty much
Mass Effect and that is one of the goats. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. I remember when I see the announcement
trailer for it and I was like, oh, very Mass
Effect. This is the trouble, man. I get adult
money and then I'm like, well, you know, I like
all this stuff. And it wasn't that long ago I
wanted Hot Toys for like 300 quid and shit and
I was like, never, never would I spend. And now
I'm buying Collector's Edition. If I see a game
on, I'm buying Collector's Edition. I just buy
a lot less games now, man. I really do. It's
just collector's edition. What is the coolest
gaming collector's edition? I saw a World of
Warcraft one in Modebase the other day. Did you?
For one of the expansions, yeah. Probably the
Cataclysm one, I think. I think I've seen that
a couple of times. They're very cool. I almost
bought a World of Warcraft cup the other day.
Banging. Yeah, but it was expensive, man. It
was like 80 quid. Oh, where they're like the
proper metal chalice fucking... Was it a Lich
King one by any chance? No, it wasn't actually.
It had an orc on it or something. Yeah? Yeah,
but it was like 80 quid. Yeah. I've seen some
really, really fucking cool ones, but they're
just so much dollar. But I would like one. I
don't know what people would say. Fallout 3 won
because the bobblehead and the lunchbox. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's a lot of money in
it for a mug. It's a lot of money. Oh, there's
the Lich King. Yeah, that's even better. Yeah.
That's much cooler. Yeah, yeah. Oh, God. Stay
for Light World of Warcraft. Could have that
in the office. I'm just saying. It would have
been pretty fucking cool. It would. Halo Reach,
the Noble Team statue, the Halsey's Journal?
Halsey's Journal? I was a huge fan of the Diablo
3 and Starcraft 2 collector's edition. Both had
USBs with the previous game installed. One was
a soul stone in Diablo's head and the other was
Jim Raynor's dog tags. Death Stranding 1 had
a full -sized BB in its pod. Yeah. I think it's
either Halo 2 or Halo 3 that came with the Master
Chief helmet. Yeah. I do like a good old collector's
edition, especially when they're fucking... A
little bit cheapy. Yeah, I just love them, man.
I fucking love them. That Night Rain one was
the fucking coolest one. 60 quid, you know what
I mean? Yeah, I never bought it. I haven't played
the game, but I can appreciate getting a nice
little deal. Because wasn't it like 100 and something
quid? No, it was literally 60, 70 quid. Yeah,
no, I know, but I swear it was because it was
reduced. Yeah, no. They massively discounted
it on Amazon for some reason. Bearing in mind
the game is like 50, 60 quid. It's a no -brainer,
isn't it? Free game, baby. That's it. Sorry.
Work stuff. I've been playing more Resident Evil
in drips and drabs. So I'm still keeping it very
in tune. I've killed the woman. The spider bitch.
She was horrible. She really pissed me off. Because
I went into the area where you kill her and you
know how it works. You start getting ammo. more
and more fucking burner fuel and shit like that
i go all right well it's obviously going to kick
off and i'd seen clips before so i was and i
i remembered the area seemed familiar and i was
like well this is a boss fight so guarantee i
know what's going to happen and yeah sure enough
she pops out um and i died the first time because
uh of them fucking bugs that she sends out Them
fucking bugs, man. I remember that. Jesus Christ.
And then she like litters the area with them
nests. And so I was like, every corner I was
running to, there was just fucking, there was
just nests everywhere. And I died. And I said
to Steph, because it was... Are you good? Yeah,
what am I doing now? Breathing. Fucking breathing.
I'm fucking... Fuck. I'm old, bro. I'm not an
athlete like you, am I? Fat old man. But I said
to her, I said, when I died, I was like, because
I got instantly annoyed. I was like, I'm not
fucking wasting the rest of the evening. I said,
I'll give it one more go. I said, if it's like
that, I ain't fucking touching it. Yeah, and
then I clapped her ass. Oh, yeah. Just fucked
her up. Fucked her right up. I don't know if
it bugged out or what, but there were very few
nests popping up. And I sort of had learned the
lay of the land. So I just had the burner on
her stomach the entire time. And then she crumbled
into a million different pieces. And now I've
got that arm from the little girl. I can't remember.
That was creepy. It's been a long time. You have
to go and find, go in this little girl's bedroom
and there's fucking little corridors and shit.
Yeah, it's all spooky in the house. Yeah, and
there's like the ball bouncing around and she's
like, leave me alone. And I was like, fuck you.
I'm coming to find you. And I found her and she's
dead behind like a hidden door. And then I pulled
her arm off. Because there's a puzzle in there,
isn't there? Yeah, and it's all juicy and slimy.
And then, yeah. Because I didn't know where to
go. After I'd killed the woman and then got the
lantern, I didn't know where to go. So I spent
a while looking. And then I said to Steph, can
you just fucking Google it? Because I said, I
can't find it. And yeah, she found a couple of
videos in a Reddit post. Really fucking annoying.
All the videos she found, they didn't tell you
where to go. They just showed you doing it. I
was like, that's really annoying. But she found
a Reddit post talking about it. And in the post,
it said, make sure you save before going. So
I was like, all right. So that was stuck in my
head. I was like, well, here we go then. So I
did. And then, yeah, found her. And the whole
time, because I hadn't seen this sequence, I
was like, something's going to pop out. I'm going
to have to attack something, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah. And nothing did. And I got to her,
pulled her arm off. It looked like I was pulling
a bone out of like a lamb joint or something
like that. And I got her arm. And I was like,
hmm. And I was fully expecting to spin round
and then her just be there. and i think she was
i think she is at the end and then she just she
runs off into a corner or whatever um so being
brave i was i'm fucking gonna run after her and
then i i was running and then come to this closed
door by this point i was like i'm safe i'm all
sweet i opened that door jump scare straight
away it's one of them fucking mold things shit
myself um made steph shit herself because i jumped
up um but i've learned i'm learning I killed
that one because I had to because it was right
in my face. Two shotguns to the head. Gone. The
rest of them booked it through there. Did not
even entertain it. I was like, I'm gone. That's
the right move. Run, run, run, run, run, run,
run. I'm fucking gone. See you later. And then
I saved and yeah, so I've got the keys to everyone's
secret. So I'm going to continue. That fucking,
that weird creepy geezer. See, this is where
It's sticking in my mind that this is a dream.
There's something... I remember reading something,
seeing something years ago that this is a dream
or something like that because that geezer, whatever
his name is, at the beginning when they're sat
around the table, he gets his arm cut off. Doesn't
he? Yeah. That geezer cuts his... The dad or
whatever cuts his whole arm off. But now he's
got his arm back. So how's he got his arm back?
That's what I want to know. Something's not adding
up here. You'll have to see, won't you? But at
the same time, my hand got lobbed off and then
it just got sewn back on and it magically works.
And I keep pouring fucking... I remember that.
Keep pouring Fanta over it and I'm all right.
I don't really understand how that works. That
happens right at the beginning and you're just
like, eh? Have I not got an arm for the game?
And then he's like, I'll just pour this on the
stump. Yeah, on the stump. And then I wake up
and then it's sewn on and then I've got a watch.
I've got a Fitbit on. How the fuck did that work?
but it's a game we carry on so yeah there's that
i remember i don't know why just that one of
the endings or something there's something you
you obviously know but there's something in my
head that tells me he's telling me this is some
kind of dream sequence or some shit or there's
something wrong with me where it ain't how it's
all being perceived to be there's some something
going on um and i will get to the bottom of it
you still got some cool stuff coming up yeah
i remember like i remember a bit it's not particularly
scary it's just really cool yeah i'm looking
forward to i know i know sort of like towards
the end you're you're in a you're in like a canoe
yeah and you're a big boat yeah i remember seeing
bits like that um with mia uh But yeah, it's
very sporadic of what I can and can't remember.
But I'm enjoying it, but forgive me, I may have
gone a little bit heavy going, I'll have it done
in a week. I won't. I won't. I don't like this.
I don't like the game. I'm starting to enjoy
it. I am starting to sort of get there. But I
won't play it in the night time, and I won't
play it on my own. Well, that's all right, because
the clocks go forward this weekend, so then you're
going to have more daytime to play. So I can't
do it. But that's that. Look, we'll leave it
there. I apologise for it being a shorter episode.
Well, we apologise. I know we didn't do one last
week, but we are fucking knackered. Yeah, it's
going to get better. Although, having said that,
we're going to have to work out a way of doing
it because I think time's going to change. Yeah,
I didn't even think of that. yeah I didn't it's
going to be a bit of a weird one this might be
the end yeah it's been fun there might be no
podcast soon we fucked ourselves by career progression
