Hello. Welcome to episode two of What's the Buttons? My name is Ash.
Here are the co-hosts.
Rhys Lengden.
Leng Dogg.
Leng Dogg. We're here.
Welcome back.
It's been fun. Thanks for everyone who's listened so far.
Way more people than we thought.
Just a few.
What is the number at the moment, roughly?
I think it was last time I looked because, you know,
I only look like every five minutes.
I think it was like 420 something, I think.
Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy.
The world map, the heat map is mental. America, hello.
Yeah, on our website, everything feeds from it gives an overall map of the world.
The analytics.
Yeah, little red dots tell you where everyone's listening
and New York's a hotspot, which is weird.
Shout out 50 Cent if you're listening.
So yeah, it's exciting. I like it.
Yeah, good stuff. Well, seeing as the first one was such a success,
we thought we'd have a crack at a second.
So we'll start off with Reece's apology because he's got quite the apology to make.
Yeah, it's our second episode and I thought it would take a little bit longer
to do like an apology style recording.
But the time is now. In the first episode,
you will have noted that I was talking to Ash about how he's opened my world,
my eyes to the world of Xbox and Game Pass.
Well, unfortunately, when I will not unfortunately at all,
but when I first got with my girlfriend, Steph, which is almost four years ago,
when I first met her, we had a serious debate about how Nintendo was shit
and how Xbox was shit.
Ash is just smiling how wrong this sounds.
Massively against both of those things and Steph's a big Nintendo fan
and well, she's got every console there is.
So get to the fucking point.
Basically, it was Steph that opened my eyes to Xbox as she's been talking about it to me
for the best part of four years.
So I take back me saying thank you to Ash for letting me on the whole Xbox hype.
It was Steph. Thank you, Steph.
You're welcome.
Ridiculous for a second episode.
You got your apology. Now be happy.
Oh dear, oh dear.
Well, yeah, that's the apology out of the way.
So well done.
Also, I've had some feedback mainly from a couple of friends.
One friend in particular who said he liked it, but might have been too much swearing.
Well, fuck off.
I don't care. Tough shit.
This is how it is. Explicit for a reason.
It says explicit on everything.
I'm not going to we've sort of decided that we're not going to be throwing C bombs
and all the heavy hitting swear words,
but it's a podcast that isn't for children.
So fuck off.
If you're a child listening to this, fuck off.
Yeah, don't listen.
Don't listen. I'll tell your mum.
Yeah, stop listening to this.
Listen to something else. Go on CBB, CBBs or some shit.
Exactly. Right.
Well, moving on to actual game news.
It's not really news to be fair.
We just thought we'd we've actually got a
something written down this time, an order.
We've made a list.
Yeah. So we're going to start talking about Elden Ring.
Oh, yeah, because we missed out after we finished recording on the last episode.
I sat there whilst I was editing through it.
I felt fucking I missed out this.
I missed out that an Elden Ring was a massive one that we somehow we missed that one
backstory for me, Ashley, Ash, huge souls fan, huge souls player.
Funnily enough, it was it was
Dark Souls one that got me into YouTube because I had I've never watched any YouTube.
I've never watched any YouTube gaming or anything like that.
And yeah, I buy a lot of strange games and Dark Souls appeared and I was like,
that's a strange game. It looks right up my street.
I didn't realize how hard it was going to be.
I've never heard of Demon's Souls at that point.
So I picked up Dark Souls proceeded to not get past the first one.
I thought this is fucking shit.
I'm not playing this no more.
So I stopped playing it.
So not being one to quit.
I tried again.
I couldn't do it.
So I thought fuck it.
I will YouTube it.
So I started YouTube in it and then I started watching YouTube videos on how to beat bosses and tutorials.
And that's when that's when I started watching YouTube videos and games and I've watched them ever since.
So thanks Dark Souls for getting me into YouTube because that was fun.
But yeah, so I've after completing Dark Souls one, I went back to Demon's Souls.
Smash the life out of that.
I've done all the Dark Souls one, two, three Bloodborne Demon's Souls.
Sekiro, fucking Bloodborne. Yeah, this is the goat.
Where's the remake?
The one I haven't done actually is the Demon's Souls remake on PS5 because I played Demon's Souls too much.
I should go and play that and I will eventually.
Or Mortal Shell.
I know it's not the same makers.
Yeah, it's not much.
Fuck that.
I don't even know what that is.
I've heard of it.
Fuck it.
It's not Dark Souls is it?
So yeah, I'm a Souls vet.
All right, and I challenge anyone to a 1v1.
All right, I beat this man multiple times on the 1v1.
I just want to throw that out there.
Where's the proof?
I have it.
Prove it.
I have it.
Prove it.
Do you?
Yeah.
Save the clips.
Of course I did.
Prove it was me.
It's there.
It wasn't me.
Shaggy, it wasn't me.
Yeah.
I got you all together.
Anyway, is that going to get copyrighted?
Is that how that works?
Maybe because it was so shit.
Maybe there won't be.
Probably not.
We're not big enough for that.
All worries to Shaggy.
Yeah, if you haven't heard this episode, it never comes out.
It's because we've been copyrighted.
So yeah, anyway, that's my background on Elden Ring or the Souls genre.
I was pretty excited.
I love Game of Thrones.
And when they announced George R.R. Martin was going to be working on Elden Ring, wow,
the excitement levels boiled over.
So when Elden Ring finally came out, I had to get your boy, Reese Langdog, and say, look,
pick up this game Elden Ring.
This is not really his jam, but...
Refused.
Yeah, but here we are.
And tell your story, I guess.
Flat out refused.
I'll call it Soulsborne, as everyone else does.
That is the right title.
It's a Soulsborne.
I never played any of them other than Bloodborne.
And even then, I only made it about five minutes in, I think I did.
Two bosses.
And it weren't my cup of tea.
When I first started playing, I was probably more fearful of it because it was quite a dark
style of game.
So I never really gave it much of a chance.
It was very difficult.
Sorry to cut in.
Do you think the reputation of Soulsborne's games is what put you off?
What, the fact that they're massively difficult?
Yeah, well, the perceived...
Fuck yeah, because I game for fun, not to scream at the telly.
But I genuinely don't believe that they are that difficult.
I think it's been fabricated.
Well, we'll get to this.
Okay.
Okay, sorry.
You mug.
Yeah, so I played Bloodborne for a little bit and then thought, no, fuck, this isn't my jam.
And then left it completely, weren't a part of that world.
And then Elden Ring come out, Ash sent me videos, gave all the hype about it.
And I thought, no, I'm not buying this.
And then I did.
I bought it.
Ash will remember.
I played about five minutes of it.
And I remember screaming to him on the phone going, this is fucking ridiculous.
Fuck this game.
I've wasted 60 quid on this game.
I was so angry.
And then I did what Ash did and I watched some YouTube videos and listened to his advice.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
No, you didn't.
You called upon my help.
Yeah, I just said I listened to your advice.
I listened to your advice.
Don't worry about YouTube.
You didn't just listen to my advice.
You called me in to help you with the boss.
I was summoned.
I was summoned to help you with the first boss.
Yeah.
Remember.
Well, I couldn't make it past this.
And I got him down to one hit and you couldn't finish him off.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You remember in the last episode, I spoke about how much I save clips on the PlayStation.
This man doesn't know.
There's a clip that I saved because you don't hear it.
But this man was screaming at me because we had this boss down to one hit and there is video footage of me hitting this motherfucking boss and it glitching out and not doing it.
And I realized what it was.
He was in the middle of an anime and an animation and you can't attack when you're in an animation.
All right.
So he grabbed me.
All right.
I've got this geezer down to one.
It was it Margot.
Is that Margot?
It's been so long since we played.
I smashed him up, showed him how it was done, got him down to one hit.
He's grabbed me finishing me off.
I was like, hit him, hit him.
He's not hitting him or he's trying, but he's not going through.
Even then after that, all he's got to do is still just hit him once after he's dropped me.
He's rolling around screaming down the mic.
Help me, mom.
I can't do nothing.
I'm dead.
I'm toast.
I'm watching.
I'm spectating.
He just gets whooped.
Fuming.
I was more angry than he was.
The difficulty spike.
Well, there was no, there is no fucking spike because it's not easy to start with.
There's nothing for it to spike.
It's just straight away difficult and I invested hours into that.
I think my final count was I think it's something like 96 hours.
That's not the final count.
We're going back.
Oh, yeah, of course we're going back.
But currently I think it's about 96 hours and it was such an incredible game.
Oh my God, millennia.
She did me in.
But yeah, it was it was it was good.
It was very difficult game, but very very rewarding.
I watched this man for one hour straight bang his head against the wall via the live streaming service on PlayStation or whatever it is.
Screen share play.
I watched him for an hour and it started off as a bit of fun by about 45 minutes in he was getting angrier and angrier and by the last 10 minutes, he wasn't saying nothing.
That's pure rain.
Yeah, what was happening?
We had a bet on he no ash hadn't actually beat millennia if obviously most most people know about Elden Ring.
But if you don't millennia is like she's a she's a boss that you don't have to do her sort of optional, but she's possibly the hardest boss in the game.
I think she optional.
She is optional.
Yeah, is she because I went back for her?
Yeah, she's optional.
But me and Ash had a bet on that.
What was it if I killed her within an hour because I got all cocky said I'm going to do I'm going to down this bitch in an hour and the bet was what was it like 35 quid?
I don't know.
It was something like that.
And yeah, I essentially live streamed it to him and I killed her on bang on an hour, but it I was the TV the TV didn't nearly didn't survive neither the PlayStation.
The only reason you were so confident is because you was running around with that fucking little mimic tear smacking bosses.
I was struggling with the bosses going that while you wait till you get to that one that one's now as he's going first time mate first time I didn't do anything.
I just stood back and watched a mimic tear do it all so he was cocky.
He was confident that he was going to go in and millennia and he was going to whack her one time.
I did not one time.
I smacked her up.
It won't one time.
It took you an hour.
You did it on the last show.
Ten seconds. This is the thing. Yeah, all the people that play this game you get the veterans are obviously you call yourself a veteran and I believe that you are a veteran of the Souls board game.
I'm not I'm a veteran, but it doesn't mean I'm very good at them.
No, I'm a veteran.
But you played them all and blah blah blah and from all of the hype and Reddit and things like that and people talking about Elden Ring.
There was a lot of people that were they were like purists summoning things like that.
Like the summons was I know it wasn't a new thing, but to the extent that you could do it, it was new.
So there was lots of purists that were going.
Well, I'm not using that.
I'm not going to use it.
I'm going to play it the real way and I'm not going to use anything to help me.
I'm going to do it all with skill and blah blah blah.
I'll use everything.
If a game's giving me something I'm going to use it.
Why would I not and the mimic tear was one of them.
Basically the mimic tear is is a copy of you like ditto.
It just takes your form and has all your spells and all that shit and it just just does what you do anyway, and it's overpowered as fuck.
So I just use that they're called gatekeepers.
They don't want you to use the mechanics that have been implemented into the game for your own benefit.
Now these people can fuck off.
There's a reason these mechanics were put into the game so more people could play the game and enjoy it.
You know, I mean if you want to if you want to make the game harder for yourself, which people do know summoning that's up to you.
No healing, no hit runs all that.
I'm all for that.
But don't tell somebody else that they can't do X Y and Z when they're not cheating.
They're not glitching.
It's a mechanic that's been implemented in the game to be used and that's what people do.
Granted the mimic tear was OP as fuck.
They did nerf it though.
They did nerf it.
It was still OP.
Yeah, still massively OP.
But it's in the game to be used and there's nothing wrong with summoning people summoning even co-op online.
There's nothing wrong with it.
It makes the game fun.
If that's how you want to play if you want to make it harder for yourself you can.
And I use that thing on every opportunity are possibly good.
Yeah, rightly so.
And anyone that says if you're summoning you're not playing a game properly.
Well, why don't you use no fucking weapons?
Why don't you go fist only level one?
No hit runs.
I know there are people complete games with their toes and shit.
One of my mates played a whole game of FIFA once with his feet.
Anyone.
Oh wait, this one's for Jamal fuck FIFA.
Just in case you listen to this fuck FIFA.
Fuck Mark.
He's going to love that.
He was fuming with that.
Did he listen?
Did he?
Yeah, I got a ping on messenger and he was like, what's this about fuck Mark?
Fuck your co-host.
I'm only joking Mark.
He's not joking at all.
Fuck Mark.
Oh Christ.
That's going on a t-shirt.
You'll get royalties.
So yeah, back with millennia.
I did get cocky.
I got very cocky because this was meant to be like one of the hardest games ever and I was mashing everything up.
Nothing was obviously I was there was if I made a mistake, I was dying.
But most of the bosses you'll remember the last six bosses.
It was a bang bang bang bang killing them all like one one time.
So when I got to millennia, yeah, I got real cocky.
I was like, yeah, I'm going to I'm going to mash her up and yeah, it didn't work that way at all.
It did not work that way at all.
But I got her again.
The clip is saved of me screaming because I'd done it.
And then this man when I stopped the stopwatch on my phone because I had a stopwatch on I stopped it.
Obviously a couple of seconds went over because I was screaming.
He goes you didn't do it in an hour.
You was a minute over.
Fucker.
This is true.
He was over.
I went over at all.
The footage is it was tight, but it was over.
Either way, it was done.
And then I put the controller down and went fuck this game.
Not playing it again.
The reason I think so many people struggle with Elden Ring and especially Elden Ring because
of the reputation of Soulsborne games.
And when I joined you, you don't you don't the way you're trying to play it is Skyrim.
You're trying to play it like it's no detriment to yourself.
You don't understand Souls games because you never really played it.
It works.
You're trying to play it like Skyrim.
You're trying to play it like any action adventure game and it's not an action.
It's not how fast you can hit the attack button.
It's dodge and block and parry and roll.
It's a completely different experience.
So having that many games in my back pocket from the Souls games, I knew that I knew going
in and it does feel very similar to the Souls games.
It is pretty much a carbon copy.
When I watched footage of it, people that had already played it were gassing it up,
hyping it up saying this is going to be the best thing ever.
As much as it looked great.
I was like it does just look like Dark Souls, but open world and how far can they go with it?
And oh boy, they go far with it.
Oh, they went far.
Every single night I'd play and I'd be like this is near the end and I'd text Reese.
A whole new part of the map just opened up.
Yeah.
I don't even know where I am anymore.
Wow.
What a game.
Kudos to Elden Ring.
Incredible game.
Game of the year.
Game of the year for sure.
The visuals were incredible.
The gameplay is incredible.
The versatility on the builds that you could do were crazy.
There's a fucking Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle build.
You know, I think like someone running around with a shell on their back.
There's some crazy shit, a Sonic build, like all this weird stuff.
That's Souls games, man.
Everything's built on them builds and the replayability.
I can't wait for the DLC.
There's inevitably going to be DLC.
There has to be.
And there needs to be otherwise they're slowly falling down the path of something like Battlefield.
I'd love to know.
They've already smashed Battlefield out of the park.
I know by ratings they have.
I know it's not the game hasn't died.
But I think the well, we're victims of it.
When's the last time you picked up Elden Ring?
That's because so many other games have come out.
No, that's a lie.
That's because there's nothing to do on it at the moment.
I just love Star Wars too much.
They need to pump out some DLC soon otherwise no one's coming back.
They need what I'd like to see is a PvP arena.
I think they had it in Dark Souls.
That was rumored with the big pot man.
Yeah, someone clipped through the wall didn't they?
And they see like an arena style thing.
Yeah, the big pot man.
Also new from software game is nearing completion, which is mental.
We've just released Elden Ring.
What are then Wizards doing over there?
What could it possibly be?
They are a nutty gaming studio.
They come out with some serious some serious stuff.
Elden Ring's really really boost for the for the people that have never really played their types of games like myself really really high on my ranking.
Massively put them on the map now.
Massively all their all their old games Dark Souls 1 2 3.
Sekiro Bloodborne Demon Souls.
There's got to be a lot of people going to them now experiencing Elden Ring for the first time and getting their ass whooped because hey, I'll be honest with you.
They're in my opinion.
They're harder, but I truly believe that none of the Souls born games are that hard.
It's just learning what the game is and the mechanics of it and how to just got to be clever with it.
Yeah, and obviously the menus can be a bit finicky and your average Joe might not understand the scaling of weapons.
Affinities and yeah, there's a lot to it.
There is a lot to it.
The average FIFA player won't really understand it.
No, well, I'm the average FIFA player, but I get it.
They're thick.
Wow.
Are you saying you don't like football fans?
That's a bold statement.
I've got a lot of football friends.
I don't know how much of our listenership are football orientated.
So I'll keep my comments aside.
Well considering most of them are Americans.
I used to be a massive football fan, but but no more.
Football is football.
It's not soccer by the way.
They go get that out of there goes New York.
It's facts.
I don't want to hear that is football.
Yeah, yeah, it is football.
Kick the ball with your foot.
Anyway, shout out from software.
Can't wait to see what you're doing next.
You've done wizardry amazing things and incredible job.
Yeah, and I'm glad you got the Lang dog on to the Souls born genre.
I should push him now to go and play some of the older ones.
Definitely moving on.
Well, you should say this.
Oh, why?
What is it?
Oh fuck.
It's another apology.
Essentially.
Yeah, I had a massive go at Ash for pre-ordering games and we had a big long bit.
It was like five ten minutes long about us talking how we've been burnt on pre-orders
and wouldn't ever fucking pre-order again.
And then he comes out and says that he's pre-ordered the new code, which is a fucking waste of money.
And you 100 pounds, 100 pounds, 100 pounds ridiculous.
Don't even know what I got for it.
Yeah, but that's ridiculous in itself.
You don't even fucking know.
I just know I get to play a bit earlier than there's a couple of skins and that Jesus.
So I play World of Warcraft and I've been playing it for the best part of well since it first come out.
So for years and years and years like 13 14 years something like that.
And obviously they do expansions.
They do loads of them.
They come out maybe once every two three years, whatever.
There's a new expansion coming out.
Hopefully end of this year, probably beginning of next year and I pre-ordered it.
Steph is aware that I've pre-ordered it.
She isn't aware of how much I spent on it because I didn't just buy the standard edition.
I got sunk. I got I got hooked in. Well, how much did you spend LingDog?
Well, unlike you, I know what I got.
So I got 30 day. You have to pay 10 pounds. How much?
To pay 10 pounds a month to play this game.
It's subscription based game MMORPG.
And with with this pre-order, I got a mount a nice little dragon that has a cool animation.
I got two pets that I'm never going to use.
I tried to sell them, but you can't a level 60 boost.
So I got some decent things with that.
I'm just stalling because I know I'm not being round a bush.
How much was it?
75 pounds.
Seventy five Great British pounds.
Yeah, I could have just bought the standard edition for like 35 quid.
But I thought, you know what?
It was the biggest edition on there other than the collected edition.
But I couldn't be asked to wait for all my stuff to turn up.
So yeah, 75 pounds.
So I suppose I owe another apology to Ash for for having to go in for pre-ordering stuff
because literally the day after I went and did the same thing.
Apology accepted.
Sorry, Steph.
Please do it again.
I can't stop pre-ordering stuff.
I want it the reason I tell you the real reason I do it.
It's different with Call of Duty and FIFA because normally you get to play them early
and I am very, very, very impatient when something is coming and it's close.
I'm like I need it now.
It's too close.
I want to.
Yeah, I want it.
If I could pay more.
I will and I'll get it early and I'll play it and I'll love it.
But the main reason I pre-order things, especially if they're a long way away,
is because I love the feeling of pre-ordering something.
And then when it comes out, I feel like I've got it for free.
Yeah, I love that feeling.
I feel like I've got it for free.
Even though I ain't it feels good.
Weird how the mind works.
Yeah, I'm playing with my own mind.
I'm like I'm getting this for free.
But I'm not the same way.
I bought this with Monopoly money.
I don't even realize.
Exactly.
So that's my that's my reasoning.
But yeah, a lot of pre-orders shouldn't be going ahead.
But it also it depends what it is.
Sometimes it's just a good way of showing your support for a studio that you like.
I said to Ash that when when we get an actual release date of God of War Ragnarok,
I'm going to get the biggest fucking edition.
I can of that.
I don't care how much money is I'm just going to get it.
I want I want statues.
I want anything they can give me.
I want the merch.
I'm having it.
Well, it's funny.
You should say that about God of War release date because I've got something
coming up and I know you haven't seen it.
But you're going to have to wait.
He refused to read it to me.
I'm going to have to wait.
We get your reactions.
I have to get all the shit out before.
You can tell me what's on this article.
Well, going on the same lines of World of Warcraft.
Is that what it's called?
It's in front of you.
Yeah.
Well, I've got wow written down.
Oh yeah.
World of Warcraft World of Warcraft.
Yeah, that one.
So I've never been a PC gamer.
Reese Langdog kindly traded me.
His laptop for a sword because it's just the way we do things.
Yeah, more of a dagger.
I suppose it felt like a sword to Frodo but technology for weapons.
Yeah.
So with that in mind, I thought you know what I'm going to try.
I'm going to try myself some of this World of Warcraft that you've been playing your whole life.
And I didn't go well.
How do you play MMOs on a computer?
How do you play anything on a computer?
My fingers.
I'm getting cramp.
How do you keep your fingers like a spider?
What's this W.A.S.F. shit?
Showing his age.
It's not hard though, is it?
My fingers don't move like that.
I can't keep them there for longer than a minute at a time without getting cramp pains.
It's not natural.
The laptop gets really hot.
It burns my legs.
If I sit on a table, I get backache.
I don't understand how to play it.
Give me a controller and I'm away.
Put a controller on it then.
Well, you can play well with a controller, but I wouldn't.
Exactly.
But you're treating it like a normal laptop.
Like a work laptop.
This is a gaming laptop.
It needs air.
It needs ventilation.
I got a cooling pad for mine.
It's got three extra fans.
Of course you have.
Of course I do.
It was like 20 quid.
But it helps.
Obviously, you're not used to that world.
You can't just sit with it on your lap.
I know it defeats the fucking object of it being a laptop, being able to move it around.
But it will get hot.
My fingers hurt.
It's just sitting position.
I can't do anything about your fingers.
My back.
My back hurts.
I can't do anything about your back.
What do you want me to do?
This is mental.
This is supposed to be fun.
It's like going to the fucking gym.
He played it for about six hours and then he probably hadn't fucking turned it on again.
It's been a whole week.
Yeah, six hours.
That's a long time.
It's not a long time.
That's a lot of pain I went through.
No, no, no, no.
I'm sitting there in pain thinking, is this worth it?
Absolutely not.
As well, why are all the cymbals so small?
I can't see what I'm fucking doing.
Reece is like, you see that thing in the top left?
Yeah, click that.
What fucking thing?
There's like 12 of them.
And he's getting angry.
He's like, oh, how can you not tell?
How can you not see what it is?
There's fucking loads of them.
I don't know what I'm doing.
It was painful.
I realized that I couldn't be a teacher because I was getting angry.
Steph will back me on this one.
I'm no good at teaching people games, especially games I know how to play.
I just don't have the patience for it because in my head, he should know how to play this game.
He's never played it before, but in my head, he should know he should be perfect.
But he isn't.
So I was getting angry.
I don't know how to fucking explain it because I've been playing it for so long.
It's not the game that's the problem.
If that was on a PlayStation or Xbox or something, no worries, sir.
I'll take the time to learn and I'll get up to your lofty standards.
But I'm not just playing a new game, which is very niche, by the way.
I can't fucking see anything.
I'm using a computer.
I've never used it before.
My fingers are all over the place.
My back hurts.
My neck's aching from looking down.
What is this?
This is a workout.
I'm not even enjoying it.
Fuck this.
Fuck you.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to get up because you said it's niche.
World of Warcraft.
Oh, you know what I mean.
I don't care.
We're going with it.
I am going to get up the MMORPG.
I don't even know what I'm looking for.
I'm going to get up the rankings and it will tell you how many people play it.
Well, in the meantime, it's shit.
I can't do it.
My eyes hurt.
My body hurts.
I can't see any of the symbols.
It just doesn't understand it.
It says it's niche.
It's got 118 million total players and actively at any given time, it's got 1.1.
That's a lot of players for a game that's 15 years old.
You just didn't understand it.
Everything MMO is the Genesis, essentially.
A lot of things are built on that.
You didn't mind fucking Star Wars, did you?
Star Wars, isn't it?
He could suffer that.
He could suffer Star Wars.
He loved that one.
And if anything, Star Wars is way more fucking complicated in geometry.
No.
Yes.
No way.
Why?
Because I can see the symbols.
World of Warcraft symbols.
Honestly, I need a magnifying glass.
On the Star Wars one, the Old Republic, everything's nice, clear.
I can see everything that I'm doing.
I can see every symbol.
Everything's clearly laid out.
You want to do this, then open this.
If you want to do that, press that.
World of Warcraft, I need a fucking map.
I need to write down step-by-step guides to open this.
Oh, you've opened this box.
Well, here's 12 others that have just popped open as well.
Oh, you want to hold this button down and then press this and this.
Fuck off.
Fuck you.
I've had enough of it.
It's dead to me.
What a waste of a laptop.
I could have given that to someone who really, really needed it.
It's not a waste.
I've got Football Manager and Star Wars.
I'm not wasting my time sitting here talking about Football Manager.
I've got nothing to offer that one, but I'm sure it's as shit as FIFA is.
No.
Well, anyway, MMOs, fuck off.
But the Star Wars one, you can stay.
It's nice and warm and cozy.
Although, having said that, we'll talk about it later.
But yeah, MMOs.
Well, not MMOs.
World of Warcraft.
Fuck you.
Make your symbols a bit bigger and then I might play you again.
I can't see a thing.
I cannot see a thing.
I'm excited for the expansion either way.
I'm very, very hyped for it.
It's going to get delayed.
There's nothing else really more to add on that.
I won't pretend like I've looked into it all that much because I haven't.
But they can have my money as they have every year and I'm excited for it.
I'm excited for you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Moving on.
Right.
This one's a bit different.
We've gone, we've gone, what's the word?
We've gone professional now.
I'm getting up an article.
So we're going to talk about God of War, Ragnarok.
I'm going to read the article.
It's exciting.
Comes from Push Square.
Now, I did mean to ask you this, but I'm glad I didn't ask you this until now.
God of War.
I know how much you love it.
You spent an ungodly amount of money on a replica of the Leviathan Axe.
I did.
Which is beautiful and worth every penny.
And was even funnier when it got to customs and he had to pay even more money.
I paid, I paid about 90 quid for postage.
Again, it's terrible.
I won't wait.
I paid the most money possible for that part.
I said, I want it, I want it fucking within a week.
And yeah, when it come to customs, they stung me for about 80 odd quid fuming.
Loved it. I enjoyed it. It was humorous.
Almost like it's a weapon.
It's too blunt.
Yeah, that's what I wanted to ask you.
So God of War.
I know how much you love it.
You obviously spent a lot of money on the merch.
Where does it rank?
I've never asked you what your favorite game of all time is.
I would imagine World of Warcraft.
Is it when you put in 14 hours?
No, no, no, no, no.
Go ahead.
No, no, no.
I put in thousands of hours into World of Warcraft.
It's not number one at all.
It's not it probably isn't even close to be fair.
It's probably somewhere up the up the in out of 10.
It's probably number 10.
Well, I'm going to I'm going to guess your top three.
Go on.
I'm just going to guess it's probably going to be completely wrong,
especially this first one because there's so many of you saying number one first.
Yeah, I'm going to say number one first.
I'm going to say Assassin's Creed, the one with the twins.
That one. I don't know what one that is.
Second game, I'm going to say last of us.
And then the third one, I'm going to say God of War.
I'm going to say God of War.
OK, well, if we're doing three, we'll do we'll do three.
I would put fuck.
No, see, Assassin's Creed isn't on there.
Assassin's Creed is in the top 10.
You've got tattoos.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I know.
And they hold a special a special part of my heart.
What is the one with the twins in just for my recollection?
You put me on the spot now.
Well, you must know you've got a tattoo of them.
I know, but there's so many there's so many.
I'm furiously Googling, so I don't like a tit, but I can't fucking remember.
Steph Steph screaming, screaming.
Is it unity? Is it brotherhood?
Is it syndicate?
Sorry. Yeah, I apologize.
Yeah, it's syndicate. I'm on the spot.
This is the thing. I'm on the spot.
But it's not it's not.
It's not there. It's not in the top three.
So top three going from breaking his mouth.
Top three from three to one.
Number three would be fucking out.
Ratchet and Clank.
What? Where the fuck's that come from?
Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart.
Oh, what? The new one?
New one.
Incredible. Oh, oh, I loved it.
Put that number three.
My four year old daughter's favorite game.
Yeah, that game mental.
And then number two.
Number two.
And number two is God of War.
Oh, number two is God of War, which I which it's there, but it's beaten.
Number one better be fucking good.
It's beaten by a game that I'm looking into your soul now.
It's going to be beaten by a game that divided opinion.
Well, I say that what it did.
What it did. Yeah. Is all the people that are fucking sexist or homophobic is what it exposed them.
All those people that hate those types of things hated this game because it didn't follow the big Metro man fucking narrative.
But basically that's what happened.
Everyone wanted Joel.
It's the Last of Us Part II.
He's my number one.
Fair enough.
That game was incredible.
The story was incredible.
The length of it was incredible.
The length was incredible.
That game went on forever.
That game went on for ages.
Me and Steph played that together.
She didn't play it.
She sat next to me.
Let's not spoil anything, by the way.
I won't spoil anything about the game for anyone who hasn't played it.
But the all I'll say is that the the story, it doesn't necessarily follow the the Joel storyline that the Last of Us one did, which I think was was a good thing.
I think they needed to move on to something else.
And that was one of the massive reasons why so many people hated that game because it didn't follow Joel's story.
His storyline was done.
You could have gone further with it.
But I think the storylines that they went down without spoiling it for anyone, they were in keeping with our current times.
They were they were inclusive of female character representation, even even even the gay community in terms of games.
And it irked a lot of people.
A lot of people got annoyed about that.
I absolutely loved it.
I thought the storytelling was incredible.
It was long.
I won't lie.
I was about 35 hours in and I nudged Steph.
I said, we're near the end here.
Boom.
About another 30 hours ago.
And I won't lie.
I did sink into my chair and go, fuck you know, because this is long.
But I know it was impressively long.
But it it held me.
I was genuinely it had been a very long time since I got excited about coming home and playing a game.
I hadn't felt that sort of excitement since I was a kid.
So playing a game like that as an adult and getting so so into the story, it didn't make me cry.
But I was it definitely hit emotions.
And I think the I just think the story was incredible.
The visuals were incredible.
The amount of effort and detail they put into that game.
It did not deserve the hate that it got.
But I think the amount of love that it received did overshadow the hate that it got.
But yeah, I'll put The Last of Us Part 2 as number one.
I can't argue with that.
Do you think that Last of Us Part 2 was hurt by the reveal of what happens in the game coming out because it was spoiled early?
Was you privy to that?
No.
OK, so that was it.
Yeah, it was spoiled early.
It was spoiled about a week before it came out.
I didn't know what it was.
Yeah, it got spoiled.
What happens?
The big twist, the big this that and the other.
Oh, yeah, it did, didn't it?
Yes, it did.
Yeah.
Because, yeah, I remember the room was circulating around.
So I avoided it, but I know a lot of people didn't.
And if I had seen that, it probably would have ruined the experience for me as well.
No, yeah, no, yeah, I didn't think it changed much.
I didn't think it changed much.
I think people were just stuck in there.
They wanted The Last of Us one again.
I think a lot of the problem is, and it makes me laugh, because a lot of the people that I saw directing hate towards Neil Druckmann
and the cast, Troy Baker and Ashley.
What's her name?
Don't ask me.
No, she's fantastic.
She does have take on me in that in that game as well.
He's crazy.
I said this service.
What's her name?
Google it, please.
Who?
What?
Ashley.
Is it Johnson from The Last of Us?
Who plays Ellie?
Oh, this is so mediocre.
Well, we never claim to be anything special, did we?
Actually, The Last of Us was Ashley Johnson.
Yeah, it was actually Johnson.
Yeah, amazing, amazing actor.
A lot of the hate I saw directed towards them was like you didn't do this.
You didn't do that.
Why was it not this?
And it's hilarious because people are getting upset because they told a story that they didn't want to hear.
That makes no sense to me.
Yeah, yeah.
You want it.
You think you can do it better.
You go and fucking put millions into developing a game.
You go and do better.
You know, I mean, there's so many people that were ripping on that story.
This is shit.
You should have done this.
But well, you're not on the fucking developers team, are you?
So you can't be that smart about it.
Otherwise, you'd be on their team having a decision.
But you're not.
It's just fucking it didn't need it didn't need any of the other shit that it got.
Also, to anyone that does send people hate on you, crawl back into your little fucking hole, little rats.
I can't stand people that type nonsense to people, especially over computer games.
Just grow the fuck up.
This is the guy that called someone in the well to your worm.
Yeah.
All right.
Back to wow.
Quickly.
I'm in the tutorial bit.
Yeah, I'm trying to learn.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I've never played on a computer before.
I'm trying to work out what buttons I'm supposed to be pressing on the keyboard.
This guy's like, fight me, fight me.
I'm like, race, what am I doing?
He's like, you go and fight him if you want.
I fought him.
He just smacked me up a couple of times.
Just he kept doing it and he following me around chatting nonsense.
I was calling my worm.
I just said, go away, little worm.
I don't want to.
And then they kicked me out of the raid we did at the beginning of whatever it was a dungeon.
It is a dungeon.
First ever dungeon.
I'm trying to pick up loot.
I don't know what buttons and kicked him out for being what they voted to kick me out.
The tutorial.
It was that bad he got kicked out the tutorial.
It's a joke.
But yeah, if you send anyone hate on the internet, you're a fucking asshole.
Yeah, I think.
But yeah, if you haven't, if you played The Last of Us 1 and you haven't played The Last
of Us 2, then I beg you to play it because it's one of the most incredible games ever.
If you haven't played The Last of Us 1, I beg you to play that.
And The Last of Us 2, they're both, they're both incredible.
And there's even a documentary on YouTube about how they created The Last of Us 1 and
the detail that they went into to make that game is mind boggling.
Mind boggling.
So yeah, give it a chance.
Are you looking forward to the series?
Massively.
I think it's going to be good cast.
Yeah, I think it's going to be one of those where they one of those times when they turn
a game into a series and it's actually worth what, you know what I mean?
It's going to be good.
I think.
It's going to be very interesting because there'll be a lot of people that haven't
experienced The Last of Us who don't play computer games.
That'll be all new to them.
So it'll be very interesting to see their reactions and if it pushes them to maybe try
the game.
I'll be curious to see how the story develops on it to see what sort of paths they go down.
Will you be getting The Last of Us remake that's coming out this year?
No.
Fine.
No.
It came out on PS3.
It came out on PS4.
It didn't need to come out on PS5.
Have you seen what they've done to it though?
It's a cash grab isn't it?
No, because they've remade it from the ground up.
Everything's different.
The combat is like The Last of Us 2 now.
Yeah, but the story is exactly the same.
Fuck you.
You know what I mean?
Old City are going, oh, The Last of Us, I love it, it's the best game ever.
But I'm not buying it again.
It is.
I'm not doing it again.
I had it for the PS3.
I bought it again for the PS4.
It's like, this isn't fucking GTA.
You don't have to release it on everything and then keep piling money.
Shout out Skyrim.
I appreciate it.
I appreciate that they've changed combat and things like that.
But for me, personally, I won't be spending the money on it, especially, you see the price tag on it?
No.
You see how much it is?
PS5 price I guess.
Yeah, silly money.
It's like 70 quid.
Well, you have to wait and see when it comes out what they've done to it.
Yeah, I will wait.
I still probably won't get it.
You 100% will get it.
Yeah, I know.
You'll preorder the shit out of this.
There'll be an apology on episode 3 where I preordered it.
I'll wait to see what it looks like.
But I haven't really.
I saw that it got announced that it was coming out.
Naturally, everyone was fuming about it.
They were going, yeah, I'm not going to get that.
They'll be the same people that get it.
And yeah, good luck to them.
I just don't think it needed to be done.
But if it can showcase the real power of a PS5 and it plays well, then go for it.
I just won't take part in it.
Anyway, back to what we're supposed to be talking about.
God of War, the article that you haven't heard yet.
I completely forgot about the article.
You got me worked up.
It did go off on a bit of a tangent, didn't we?
Push Square.
This article comes from Push Square.
God of War Ragnarok is still on track for November.
Game is huge, says Bloomberg writer Jason Schreier.
Do you know who Jason Schreier is?
I'm terrible with names.
Right. Jason Schreier is probably the most reliable person on the Internet.
If he says something, it's happening.
OK.
Basically, he doesn't get nothing wrong.
OK.
Shout out to Jason Schreier.
I really want to say I don't believe you, but I believe you.
This is facts.
Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier has reassured God of War fans that the sequel to Santa Monica's
Studio 2018 hit is still on track to release this November.
In a post on Reset Error, he says the game is still to launch in November as of this week,
and the team behind it is pretty excited.
After talking to sources, Schreier explains,
I can definitely say that there was a release date slash pre-order announcement planned for yesterday.
It was bumped at some point last week.
I don't know why.
Apparently, speculation points to the delay being due to the recent Roe versus Wade decision in the USA.
I've no idea about all that.
I'm not getting involved in politics.
Thank you very much.
Sony has delayed its announcement and events in the past because of real-time events,
with its first PS5 showcase in 2020 pushback due to the Black Lives Matter protests at this time.
The writer then goes on to say that because Sony has been trying to keep its secrets very close to its chest,
many Santa Monica Studio employees weren't even told of the company's initial plans to confirm a release date yesterday.
Although, those working on the title are said to be in high spirits about the sequel.
People working on it say it's huge and seems to be pretty excited about it.
It reminds me of the buzz I was hearing before the 2018 one, Schreier says.
As one of the most reliable journalists in the industry, Schreier's post will be welcome news to God of War Ragnarok.
Ragnarok?
What a prick.
What a prick. I've done so well.
God, you're doing well.
God of War Ragnarok enthusiasts, as it doesn't sound like the game will be delayed into 2023 at the time of this writing.
The post comes after Tom Henderson, another leaker that I told you about the other day that is top-notch don't miss.
Yep.
The post comes after Tom Henderson first suggested yesterday was a day for the game's launch date unveiling, as well as collector edition reveals.
Oh, I'm going to be all over it.
Right. Last bit.
It then came out that God of War fans were sending unsolicited nudes to studio employees to try and get the release date out of them.
I cannot believe I even have to say this, but don't fucking send dick pics to anyone on this team.
That is terrible.
Or anyone in this industry for that matter.
How is that going to work?
I'm talking. They are busting their ass to make something for you to enjoy.
Show some fucking respect, Corey Barlog said in response.
And I also say show some fucking respect.
What are you doing?
Where's the release date?
Here's a dick pic.
What the fuck's wrong with you?
What the fucking hell is wrong with you?
Give your head a wobble.
Yeah.
Where's the tactic on that?
Where's the where's the thinking with that one?
I'm going to send you a dick pic and get it.
Well, quick, quick.
Press the send button.
They keep sending us dick pics.
Honestly, it's disgusting.
Crawl back in your old.
I said a minute ago.
Yeah, that's a bit pathetic.
That's a bit of a weird one.
I'm all for getting excited about games and wanting them to release.
I'm not all for early releases.
I think take your time with games.
We've been burned before.
So I'm so I'm sick.
Shut your mouth.
Wank.
Fuck you.
Yeah.
However, stuff like that is just there's just no fucking place for it.
No, there is no place for it.
Get back in your old.
It's weird.
Just sit and wait, man.
How come when it's ready and when it's ready, it will be it will be good.
I think it will be delayed.
I don't think it will.
I think it will come out a month after its release date.
I don't think it'll be a long delay, but I think it will be delayed.
If anything, I think they'll delay it just to piss off the people that have sent in dick pics.
Well, if that is true, good.
You deserve it.
You fucking little knobs, your worms.
You probably have got little knobs and all.
What are you thinking?
I see.
I don't even get into what goes through your mind.
What's wrong with you?
That's exciting, though.
I like that.
Collectors edition.
Go on.
What are you saying?
What am I saying about the collectors?
Yeah, I was I was laying in bed with Steph.
Last night was it last night?
Well, it's every night.
But last night and we was talking about it.
Well, we weren't talking about it.
I just come out and said it.
I'm pretty sure we were sitting in silence, but I just come out and said it anyway.
And I said, I don't care how much money that collectors edition is.
I want statues.
I want anything that's coming with it.
I'm going to have it.
The minute it comes out.
I don't care.
I'm paying for it.
A thousand pounds.
Take it.
Two thousand.
Take it.
Three.
Clana.
What?
I'll clana that.
What does that mean?
Finance, basically.
Oh.
Final offer five grand.
Well, let's not get too hasty, but probably it would have to be substantial, wouldn't
you?
Mental.
It would have to be.
Mental.
I think I'm prepared to.
With how good the game like God of War was, I think if they're doing a collector's edition,
there's the shit that's going to come with it is going to be more.
If Corey come up to you and went, look, this game's releasing next week, but we've decided
you're not allowed it.
The only way you allowed it is if you give us one of your toes.
Take them.
All of them.
I only want one.
He only wants one.
Have the time.
Well, now you've offered more.
So now he wants a foot.
Just the toes.
You just take the toes.
You can keep the foot.
He just wants all your toes on one foot.
When we ask people for feedback on episode two, this will come back.
They'll go, look, the feet stuff.
Get rid of that.
Get rid of the feet shit.
Get rid of that shit.
Yeah.
I'm so.
You would give toes to play.
Yeah.
Yeah, of course I would.
Of course I would.
What if there's a third?
You're going to be running out of body parts.
This game is going to be mental.
As long as I got me hands.
Know what I mean?
As long as I can play it.
They can take your legs.
I can have the legs.
Take my legs.
I can have the legs.
Take my legs, please.
Anyway, right.
Good.
What have we been playing this week?
What have you been playing this week?
I have been playing Guardians of the Galaxy on my laptop.
Spicy.
Yeah.
I download.
When it first come out, I saw the gameplay of it and the whole how you get to not flick
between every character, but you sort of control them in terms of like using their abilities
and stuff like that on the fly.
And I was sort of a bit turned off by that.
I first looked at it and thought, I'm not interested enough, especially the price tag
that comes with it on the PlayStation Store.
I'm not paying 60 odd quid for that.
I'm just not doing it.
Xbox Game Pass.
Exactly.
Come in the Xbox Game Pass.
Thank you, Steph.
Come in that.
And it was on there.
So I downloaded it in my head because I'm not used to something that can like, obviously
I've got the PS5, but in terms of PC, I'm not used to anything that can run a triple
A game or a high spec game.
So I downloaded it and had the jitters before I played it because I was like, this is going
to look crap.
I don't believe that this is going to look good on a laptop.
I just don't believe it.
And I booted it up and it looks incredible.
I'll show you after the podcast what it looks like, but it looks stunning.
It plays crazy.
It's the first non MMORPG I've played on a PC slash laptop.
So the buttons are completely different to what I'm used to and it just plays really
well, man.
It feels good.
I'm excited to get home and play it.
The story, it's funny.
I've been sitting here laughing.
It's been a while since I've sat here laughing at dialogue from a game, but it's like you're
playing in a movie.
It doesn't follow the movie storyline, it's got nothing to do with it, but I'm about 15
hours in something like that.
And it's just, oh, it's good.
If you haven't played it, play it.
It's very fun.
Very fun.
I'm enjoying it.
I heard a lot of good things about it.
And yeah, I think a lot of people were burnt on Marvel's Avengers, which is actually all
right, but it got stale very quickly.
Another Battlefield 2042 case where the content was too slow coming out and had to fix a lot
before content came out, unfortunately.
But yeah, it's on Game Pass.
I 100% download that.
And don't think Marvel when it comes to Guardians, because it's...
I love Marvel and Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite Marvel films anyway.
It's a different kettle of fish in terms of gameplay.
It plays phenomenal.
How many hours you got in it so far, roughly?
Well, as I said, about 15, I think.
15, 16.
I wasn't listening.
Roughly, yeah.
I'd switch off after you'd been talking for 20 seconds and you bore me.
You can see him.
He sat opposite me and I watch him.
I don't watch him all the time, but I'm watching him.
He's always watching, man.
I can see the light from his laptop flickering on his face.
And when it flickers, his eyes glaze over and I go, I've lost him.
But I'll continue talking to the people listening.
Yeah.
Well, good for you.
Is that how you've been playing?
It's pretty much it, man.
Pretty much it.
Well, me, I started off the week playing...
Well, yeah, we won't go over World of Warcraft again.
Fuck that shit.
Make your logos bigger.
I can't see a thing.
Hook it up to your telly, man.
I tried.
It wouldn't do it.
No, you were just doing it wrong.
No, I was mirroring it and it was going, no, you can't do that.
And then it kept crashing stuff.
Don't mirror it.
Plug it in.
Get an HDMI.
Plug it in.
More cables, yeah.
Wife's gonna love that.
No.
Shouldn't have to.
Anyway, so fuck World of Warcraft.
I played the Star Wars MMI.
I enjoyed that.
But once again, the same problems are happening.
I'm getting claw and finger pains.
You've got little old man wrists.
Yeah, my neck's hurting and my back's hurting.
So I've gone, I can't do this.
So what I do, I downloaded Elder Scrolls Online on the Xbox.
On the Xbox.
And I love it.
It's great.
I played it before.
It's very, very much easier.
That sounded awful.
It's easier to play with a controller.
You put World of Warcraft on a controller, on a console, and I'll smash it.
But I can't do it on a computer.
I tried to play Elder Scrolls Online, well me and Steph did on the PlayStations, and
it is a very good game.
It's very fun.
But it plays a lot better on the PC platform.
I tried explaining this to you.
You're missing out.
No, I'm not.
Because I don't want claw hands again.
I like playing on a controller.
That's just my bread and butter.
So yeah, I've been playing that, which has now led me to download Skyrim again, because
it's on Game Pass.
And I also was playing it on my shoe on the way over here, because that's released on
Trainers now.
If you wasn't aware.
It was out on the toaster last week.
Now it's on Trainers.
Yeah, yeah.
It's impressive.
So yeah, I've downloaded that again, because it's on Game Pass.
And obviously, you can do a lot of modding on the Xbox.
You can't really do it on the PlayStation.
You can only use in-game assets.
You can mod on the Xbox?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can get all the mods.
You can mod it all, make it a completely different game, essentially.
So I'm excited to put all the mods on.
I've downloaded a fair few, but you can't really do it on the PlayStation, which I've
played on before, because Sony get funny about it, because you only allowed to use in-game
assets, whereas Xbox, Microsoft, you can use anything.
So they can put things that aren't already in the game in the game.
That is incredible.
I was about to sit here and navigate.
Did you not know that?
No, well, I'm not an Xbox, am I?
I don't own one.
So yeah, I suppose that changes the whole.
If you can mod it on Xbox.
Yeah, I don't blame you for playing it.
Yeah.
So I'm excited to go and play that.
But more importantly, the big one I've been playing, Star Wars Battlefront II.
I love that game.
He's playing that again.
Yeah, it's Battlefield, but with Star Wars.
And you know, I'm quite a fan of Star Wars.
We've just booked to go to the convention next year.
Oh, we have at the XL.
Yeah, very fun.
We weren't going to pay for the Jedi Master Tickets.
I'm not throwing 750 quid at it.
But we've been pre warned that it's a smelly gig.
Yeah.
Yes.
I listened to a Star Wars podcast and the advice they gave before the event last month,
I believe it was, was please take the ojent with you.
And obviously I've never been.
So when I go next year, we go next year.
We just thought we'd go for the first day before it gets a bit smelly.
Well, that's not entirely true.
Is it not?
We're going the first day because we couldn't get tickets.
That is the reason.
That's what I'm telling myself.
We'll roll with that.
That's what we're doing.
We'll roll with that.
So yeah, basically Battlefront 2, which I'm loving.
I love that game.
I wish they'd do a three.
Battlefront 3, but it doesn't sound like they will be.
Why didn't, why did we stop?
I know I didn't play it much.
I don't think I have actually played it with you.
You've never played it with me.
But I used to play it and I need you to answer my question.
You're going to ask me why you stopped playing it when I didn't even know that you'd played
it before.
No, why, why did people stop playing it?
Full stop?
Well, it came out very poorly because it was littered with microtransactions.
Was it?
Yeah.
It was, it was filled with them.
Boxes, loot boxes.
That's really bad.
I don't remember because I played it from day one and I do not remember that.
But they massively turned it around and they, they basically took that.
There's no loot boxes anymore.
I don't think you can open on them.
I don't even think there's microtransactions on there.
You can earn all your in-game currency and buy all the skins and stuff that you want.
So it's really good.
It's really good fun.
Still got a huge player base on consoles and PC, but they won't make a third.
They've said they won't, but I'm sure that, that, that franchise is too big to put down.
So I'm sure someone eventually will make it.
I can't wait.
I believe the original Star Wars Battlefront one and the original Star Wars Battlefront
two servers are still active and they're like 15 years old or something crazy.
So I might have to re-download that.
Now do I download that on the PlayStation?
Well, I know you're playing on Xbox, isn't it?
No, you're playing on PlayStation.
I'll download it on the PlayStation.
I was gonna say, I'll probably download it on this, but I'll download it on PlayStation.
And the favorite word of one of my friends, it's delicious.
I love it.
I really do.
But other than that, that's, that's all we've got.
So if you want to, if you want to plug the socials or the, um, whatever else you've got
to plug, cause you're the, you're the, uh, technology man.
I'll just see it.
I'll just see it swearing.
If I want to plug the socials.
So, uh, I'll do the socials.
You do all the other stuff.
Yeah.
So the social for the Instagram, cause we really like feedback.
We've had, you know, 400 or people listen to it and, um, we haven't had much feedback.
I mean, just, just DM us or something and just say your shit, stop podcasting.
I'll even take that.
We're not, we're not sending us dick pics.
Yeah.
We don't want dick pics unless they're massive.
Even then, even then, if you're going to, if you're going to go for the time of giving
us feedback, then, then please, please don't just message and say it's shit.
No, tell me it's shit.
I'll be happy.
Just tell us why it's shit.
That's all we ask.
Um, so the Instagram is what's the buttons podcast.
Very simple.
And the Twitter is at what's the button.
We've no S on the end.
Unfortunately.
Now I looked at, um, actually trademarking, what's the buttons.
I might do that.
And if I do decide to do that, then I'm going to, I'm going to get those accounts.
I'll take legal action.
Strike down with a mighty hammer of law.
Yeah.
Um, in terms of, of, uh, what platforms you can listen to this on.
This is the big one.
Yeah.
Obviously if you're listening to this anyway, you found us.
But I'll say it anyway, we're on Spotify.
We're on Amazon music.
We're on Samsung podcast, podcast index, listen notes.
You can listen to us on RSS.
The links for our RSS is in the bio and then there's links within that as well.
Uh, and we're also currently working on getting ourselves onto Apple podcast.
Definitely need to do that sooner rather than later.
Google podcast is, is, um, with there it's on it.
I just need it to, to work with, with other things, which is, is proven a little bit more
difficult than I thought.
And Apple, Apple music is, uh, well, it's a little bit more of a difficult one.
I, it, it, there's some, some technical difficulties going on, but I'm working on it.
It's just been lazy.
Yeah.
It's pure laziness.
Um, with that in mind, please, if you do this too on Spotify, please leave us a review.
One star, five star, freestyle, whatever it is, just so we, we just need some feedback
from human beings.
Cause we're getting all these listens and downloads and views or whatever you want to
call them.
And I don't believe it until I start seeing some conversations to be had.
I don't believe you are, you are human beings listening to us talk shit.
So please make yourselves appear.
So I know we're not talking to the ether.
Yeah.
That's it.
Isn't it really?
That's us done for another week.
Oh, oh, we aim to get them out on Fridays, Fridays, Fridays.
There might be the odd one or two occasions where I, where it's not out on the Friday.
If not, it'll be the Saturday, but Friday's the sort of the main one.
So if for example, maybe today I might not reach that deadline.
You will because I've got two dogs in the house that need, need maintaining and stranger
things come out today and I've got love Island.
I watched that.
Right.
That is time to go.
Men priorities, men priorities.
Anyway, see you later.
Peace and love baby.
