Hello!
Fuck me.
Right.
Hello.
Welcome to What's The Buttons with me, the Prince and...
Rhys.
Lengdog.
Woof woof.
Oh, what are we doing?
That's probably one of the only fucking laughs I'm going to have today considering what's
going on.
He's not very happy.
I'm pissed.
He's pretty pissed.
He's not drunk.
No.
Sorry.
I'm angry.
The God of War pre-orders went live today.
I shouldn't be angry, really.
I wanted the Yacht-Nar edition, especially once I saw the prices.
I thought that's not that expensive.
I managed to bag myself the collector's edition.
I had the Yacht-Nar edition in the bag, in the basket.
It was ready.
I put my card details in.
Sorry, this item isn't in stock.
Fucking fuming.
I was so angry.
Was?
Am.
I'm sat here, and Ash is sat here as well, refreshing the page on the PlayStation official
website and it's just saying, coming soon, coming soon.
I'm still trying to get hold of the Yacht-Nar.
If I get the Yacht-Nar edition, I'll just return the other edition or I'll join in with
the filthy little fucking scalpers and I'll sell it for a grand.
No you won't.
Ridiculous.
No you won't.
Fucking stupid.
Why?
Something as big as this.
This is game of the year.
Probably the game of the century.
Well, El Domingo.
Fuck it.
No, this is going to be number one.
It just will be.
So with something like that, with two very unique editions, why would you only make it
exclusive to game?
Probably the worst retailer on the website.
The website is awful.
Fucking awful.
They've had so much time to invest into their website, trying to get hold of a PS5 twice.
Me personally had it in the basket, a PS5 and the website's crashed.
My girlfriend, Steph, was the same.
My best pal, Mark, fuck you Mark, was the same.
We'll get it in early while we can.
And they've had so much time to build on their website and adapt to that and stop fucking
allowing bots to just take it over.
And lo and behold, this comes out.
I had it open.
I had game open and I had the PlayStation Store open from eight o'clock in the morning.
And I sat there for two hours.
I know it wasn't released until 10, but there's always hope.
Just refreshing the page every minute.
And then when it got to 10 to 10 to 10, I was refreshing every five seconds.
Just going mental.
I was gone to the world around me.
And yeah, it came out and then was gone within, what was it, 30 seconds, 30 seconds.
I had it in the basket and it was like, yeah, no, you can't have this.
So fuck you game.
Seriously.
How did they get it?
What sort of brown envelope was handed over to Sony for them to get that as an exclusive?
Ridiculous.
Fucking Smith's would have done better.
It's pretty upset, as you can tell.
Oh, it's just, oh, it's a sat on this podcast.
Running hard in saying I'd spend three grand saying I wouldn't spend a fiver bouncing.
Cut your toes off.
Yep.
I give my limbs.
I take my limbs back and I decided, you know what?
Fuck it.
Because because the price has got leaked yesterday.
I saw them last night just before I went to the fuck are you doing?
It keeps falling down.
Okay.
Cable for the mic.
The prices were leaked yesterday and obviously it was in dollars, but you can work out pretty
easily.
And yeah, it was, it was for the Yacht-Nar edition.
It's 200.
It's on.
That's not really.
You fucking dick.
You're an asshole.
Got him.
That is cruel as fuck.
I'm sorry.
That is so mean.
No, fuck you.
I've lost my train of thought now.
The excitement got me.
You were just moaning about it.
You had no train of thought.
It was literally just moan, moan, moan.
I shouldn't be moaning because I have got the collector's edition.
I have the hammer.
It will go well with the axe.
The axe is on the socials by the way.
I did a little photo shoot with it.
It looks fantastic.
It does.
If you want to go and check that out.
Whose car was that?
I don't know.
My van.
Brilliant.
Let me check.
Carry on.
I've got to carry on on my own.
How am I going to edit this one out?
I'm not, am I?
Anyway, while he's sorting that out, I shouldn't be whinging because I have got the hammer.
I've got the thing that I wanted most.
As I said previously, the bits in the Yacht-Nar edition compared to the collector's edition,
I'm not really too fussed, but for some reason now that I can't actually get my hands on
it, I want it so bad, which is ridiculous.
So yeah, that's where I am today.
Pissed off first thing in the morning and I've remained pissed off until now.
Ideal.
Yeah.
Fantastic.
I love it.
Ash bottled it by the way.
I did bottle it.
Decided to not get either of them.
Well, he said, try and get two Yacht-Nar editions.
I couldn't even manage one, sir.
And then he says, no, don't worry about it.
Apparently though, I was on the phone to Ash because I sent him a screenshot saying, what
the fuck is this?
He rang me up and then he was like, you can still get the collector's edition apparently.
And yeah, I jumped back on game.
You didn't want the collector's edition, did you?
I did.
I don't want it.
I want the good shit.
I don't want that.
So I'm not going to bother.
But I managed to say, listen, calm yourself down.
At least you're going to get fours hammer.
At least you're going to have something.
And if you get the Yacht-Nar edition, you can sell the collector's edition for price
because you're not a scalping scumbag.
And then everything's great.
Should have been a scalping.
But once again, I've read an article.
I did send it to you about scalpers selling it now already 500, 600 quid.
People enjoy these things.
Let people enjoy them.
Stop stealing and then selling for ludicrous prices because it's not fair.
You might not enjoy this, but people do and want these items and will pay retail price.
You doing that, I understand from a business perspective, very smart.
On a moral standpoint, you're a scumbag.
But not when you've gone through the effort of setting up bots to buy them for you.
Is it impossible to get this kind of shit in your basket and paid for without some AI
grabbing it before you and then, yeah, some slimy little sweaty twat in his fucking.
I'm angry.
I know.
I don't know.
I don't know why.
Calm down.
Sorry.
Everything's going to be all right.
You did jump the gun.
I didn't even get to say what we were going to talk about.
You just started going mental.
I've been holding it in.
We've been sat here.
We.
He hasn't been holding it and he's been moaning.
Yeah, but I've been holding back a little bit because I want it.
I've like, no, I'll save most of it for the podcast, but we've been sat here for a while.
And I've been not able to talk freely about about how angry I am.
So I'm just getting out while I can.
But crack on, sir.
Well, I was going to ask how you was and then fucking annoyed.
Yeah.
Well, I imagine you've been enjoying the sun like the rest of us.
I fucking hate it.
I hate the sun.
I'm not a fan of it.
I tan very well.
I look good with a tan.
Do you?
Yeah, I tan well.
I'll let you know when you're tanned.
I'm tanned right now.
I tan well, but the sun.
You look like corned beef.
I don't enjoy the sun.
It's knackering me.
I don't know if you feel the same.
I get home and I have no energy.
I'm in a minority.
I'm a fan of winter.
I'm a fan of the sun.
I'm in a minority.
I'm a fan of winter.
I much prefer winter.
I don't like the sun.
Don't get me wrong.
I enjoy warmth, but I don't like sweating and being able to do nothing about it.
Obviously, we work in an environment that doesn't support being able to get naked.
I don't know any jobs really apart from porn stars where you can get naked in your job
and even then you're going to get sweaty.
Let's be honest.
Yeah, you're pretty buggered regardless unless you've got a fan on. We don't have that option.
So I'm just sweating and I looked at the top tips for working in the heat the other day and it gave
out some crackers bearing in mind to work outside. Number one, desk fan. Perfect. Brilliant. That will
do it. Bring a desk with you outside. Yeah, so that's a good one. What was the other ones? Number
two definitely was take off some clothes. Brilliant. Definitely can't do that either. So yeah, they're
mainly just aimed at people that work indoors. But yeah, there you go. It's too hot. I'm burnt. My
head hurts. My ears are burnt. My nose is burnt. Everything's burnt. I don't enjoy it. Roll on
winter where it's all cold and I can put clothes on to warm up or work to warm up. Yeah. Instead
of working and sweating or just sitting there and sweating. There's no in between. We'll roll on
winter and then we'll still be doing the podcast and we'll cut back to this conversation when we're
complaining about how cold it is outside and that we just want a bit of sun. Yeah, just a little bit
of sun. Because that's what will happen. I'll go, I just want a bit of warmth. It's so cold. But I've
always said in the summer, I can't take any more clothes off other than taking my own skin off.
There's nothing more to take off. Whereas in the winter, if I'm too cold, I can wrap up more,
put more layers on. So if my voice cracks one more time, I'm so angry.
I'm sorry.
Straight away.
Look at how old mum.
On cue. So yeah, this is the situation we're in. It's very hot. It's not too bad to that actually.
It's quite cool in the WTB HQ. It's nice. It is pretty good. But yeah, this week has been
unbearable and next week, the trend continues and it's no longer a hot summer. It's scorched earth.
Yeah, it's hell on earth. So if I have to join in and tie myself to a lamp post to make this stop,
then I will. This is too much. M25, I'm coming for you. Yeah, please. Let there be traffic.
On the plus side though, we have been given the all clear to have a half day on the Monday and
the Tuesday to avoid the heat, which I suppose is quite nice. Yeah, well, well done.
Thank you. Other than that, yeah, so we will be trying to get these Yacht-Nar editions. There
might be a lot of frantic clicking. We might disappear, but you won't know that because of
the power of editing. But yeah, right now, it's not looking good, Brav.
It's not looking good. Everyone said three o'clock is when this shit is going to go live on the
PlayStation website and it hasn't gone live at all. Now, I can't sit well. I could sit here for
the rest of the evening, refreshing the page, and I probably will, but I'm not happy about it.
Really, I should stop looking. Never, never give up hope. This is what will happen. This is what
will happen. I work with someone called Ryan and he will sell fucking anything to anyone.
It doesn't matter. If he can make a profit on it, he will buy it and he will sell it. He's the type
of person that goes to home bargains, grabs a load of shit, and then sells it six months later
for triple the price. He tried to do it with the PS5 when the pre-orders came about. I snagged one.
He thought he snagged one. Yeah, he was with me. He was with me. Yeah, he was like, I'll buy one.
I'll buy one. I got mine through on Amazon. He got his through. Yeah. I can't remember how long
it was. A week or two later, bang. It was like, sorry, we didn't fulfill your order. No. So he
lost his, which brought a smile to my face. Yeah, calm, man. You'll be in a little scalping scum.
It went through and they- Yeah, he got done. He got done. The reason I mention that is because
he's not a gamer. He don't play PlayStation. He don't play any console. He don't do anything.
No, he's more of a grafter. He's more of a worker. He likes a pound note. Well, he's a slot machine,
isn't he? Just puts the money in him. That's all he wants. Yeah, he just wants a dough. So I weren't
keen, but the way I looked at it, to be honest with you, it was, he was doing it for me. So I
take it back. He was just being a second for me. So if I didn't get one, he'd manage to snag one.
I could have it off him. We agreed on that. For an extra hundred quid. Yeah, probably.
But then after I snagged one, he was free to do as he pleased with his, obviously. And yeah,
he was thinking, we aren't quids in here. And I'm luckily for him, but luckily for people on the
receiving end, no one was scalped. Well, he was, I was with him and he said, he said,
how much are they going for these Yacht-Nar additions of whatever? He didn't even say it right.
There's no interest there. He just sees pound signs. And I said, it's 230 quid, but I'll
guarantee you it will sell for more than double that. The minute it's sold out, they'll be straight
on eBay. And he was like, well, when does it turn up? I said, it's not released yet. I said,
don't release till November. And he was like, how does that work? See, he's that much of a
non-gamer. You don't know what a fucking pre-order is. So I explained it to him and I see the,
I see his eyes light up when he, when he's hearing that he could make double profit on 230 quid.
So he's fucking sitting there as well, scanning through, trying to, trying to get hold of one.
Luckily he didn't because I would have been fuming, but he said, he was like, if I get hold
of one, I'll sell it to you for 500 quid. And I said, I'm not doing that. We got as close as I
said to him, I'll pay 250 for it. I'll give you an extra 20 quid. You made 20 quid for nothing then.
And he said, no, but thankfully he didn't fucking get one. So yeah, he's part of the problem really.
And he, yeah, little scum rat. Yeah. It's all going to be on t-shirts, all of these little slogans.
Thank you to everyone who's messaged me so far as well saying, fuck you, Mark. It's hilarious.
This is fantastic. He hates it. Sorry, Mark. We're going to keep doing it until it's on a
t-shirt. No, he likes it when you do it. It's just when I say fuck, he's not a fan.
He's so...
What did he send me? He sent me a message, didn't he? What did he say? He said,
Ash is scared to say, fuck you, my hock little bitch. Terrified.
Well, we'll make him have a scrap in the boxing ring and we'll make you fucking pay to watch it.
We'll become one of those types of people. You support us, we'll get GoPros.
Fantastic. What's on the list? You never actually read the list. I sent it to you.
So you ran him basically, but that's not what was written down. Gaming lull.
Oh, yeah. So it's a difficult time to have a gaming orientated podcast when you actually
haven't done any gaming. That's quite a tough one. And for this entire week, I think I've managed to
plumb in 10 minutes worth of gaming. Like I said to Ash, it's like Netflix. I'm spoiled with choice.
You see what I mean? Are you listening? Yeah, I'm listening. Barely. I can't gauge it when
you're not even looking. Yeah, I'm struggling to... The thing is I'm waiting for games now.
I'm waiting for God of War. I'm waiting for World of Warcraft, Dragon Flight. I'm bored with
everything that I'm playing at the moment, which sounds terrible because I was so hooked on Guardians
of the Galaxy that once I finished that, I was like, yeah, I'm pumped to play something else.
I just haven't found anything that's grabbing me. What do you think is the weather?
Yes, I think the weather has something to do with it. It's very hot and I often play games with
headphones on because I like to be able to hear everything that's going on. It made me very sweaty.
And when I get sweaty, I get annoyed. When I get annoyed, I'm like, I don't want to play this.
I turn it off. Headphones make you sweaty? Yeah. Wow. What's that? Does it cover your ears?
Make your ears sweaty? I don't know the dynamics of it. It just makes me sweat, mate. You know what
I mean? I don't know why. I don't know the human anatomy and the ins and outs of it. I know
headphones make me sweat. That's because you shave your head. There's nothing catching the sweat.
Now everyone knows I'm bold. Sorry. Wait, you're bold on the logo.
No, I'm not. I got that on. You can't tell. Squat, deal you got? Come on, man. Sorry. That's our brand.
I'm not with you today. It's hot. It's hot and I'm flustered. We've had a long day.
Well, yeah, I am also suffering from the same gaming low. It's weird that we've gone through
the same emotions together. We bonded. I wouldn't push it. So yeah, I'm also struggling and I'm also
paralyzed by choice. I thought, oh yeah, I've got a laptop now. The world has opened up to me.
World of Warcraft ruined that for me because I don't want to play anything on the laptop
because it hurts. So it seems more of an effort. You need a better chair. That's all it is. You
need a better chair and a better seating position. I'll be perfectly honest with you. Even if I had
a PC, I just, I feel comfortable sitting on a sofa. I don't feel comfortable sitting in a chair
bent over fiddling with the buttons, but either I digress. I digress. I broke out of the gaming low
in the last few days. It's Skyrim. No, for fuck's sake. I know. What do you mean? It's Skyrim.
What do you mean? I mean, it's great. It's fantastic. 10 years old and it's amazing.
I've modded it. It looks like a 2022 game to a degree. So many mods, so many different quests
and companions. It's so interesting. I'm not even doing the main story. You can even get a mod that
makes you start in a different way. So you choose your backstory and then you start in a different
place. And there's actually a whole new map. There's so much to it. I don't know. I love it.
I'm obsessed with it at the moment. So yeah, I broke out of it with Skyrim. I'm looking forward
to playing more of that, but I know what I'm like. I'll get home and I'll be like, fuck it. Can't be
bothered. And then I won't play again. I'm an idiot. I'm so glad that Bethesda have just
riding on the fucking wind of people modding this game. That's the only reason why Skyrim,
it's not even that good of a game. Of course it is. When you really delve deep into it.
Don't start when you love World of Warcraft. Don't get me started, please. It isn't that good.
I don't know. Maybe. How much have you actually played it? Skyrim? Completed it. Not like 100%
of it, but yeah, played it. Spent loads of hours. When? Probably when I was like 18. Well,
have you tried it again? No. Get it up on your super snazzy laptop that runs everything. Pretty
much works SpaceX on that thing. You get Skyrim up on there. You whack a few mods on, you're going
to be like wowsers. You'll make a mess in your trousers. Yeah. Get it up. You kill me with it.
Not in that way. Not in that way. On the laptop. Skyrim I'm talking about. But I've got to be
careful with what I'm saying because I have a tendency to rip the shit out of stuff. And then
when I come away, I go and try it and then I'll have to come back. It'll be episode five on the
fucking little list that we write. At the top again, it will say Reese's apology. And then in
brackets again, for the third time. Because I can't even win that they're not even putting the
effort into making another game because I've got Starfield. Well, and also they have announced
that they are working on the new Elder Scrolls and that will be coming before the new Fallout.
Oh, this is what went through my head last night. Right. So I'm playing it for free on Game Pass
because you know, shout out Game Pass. It's the goat and I own it on PS4, PS5. I've got my shoe,
toaster kettle. It's on everything. But either I digress like again, I'm playing it on Game Pass.
Right. They released it again, obviously the anniversary edition. Now that's like 50 bones.
Right. You can't scrub. Yeah, whatever, man. I don't care. So you can buy that for 50 quid.
If you already own it, you can upgrade for like 20 quid or whatever. Actually a fair bit.
Gives you all the creation club content, which is a lot, which is actually stuff that Bethesda
added themselves. Weapons, katanas, what weren't in the game, companions, horses,
so much stuff is mental. Fishing, camping, survival mode now where you have to eat and stay warm. You
have to build fires. You have to go and get logs. It's crazy. There's so much to it. So you can
upgrade to that for 20 quid, but obviously I haven't paid anything for it on Game Pass apart
from the Game Pass subscription, which is a quid for the first three months. And yeah, I'm sitting
there last night and I'm like, do you know what? I've got all these mods on. I've got everything
I ever need, but it keeps popping up saying, buy me for 15 quid. You can upgrade to the anniversary
edition. I'm like, do you know what? I'm going to. So what I did is I pressed that button to pay
that 15 pounds for the anniversary edition and I felt dirty. It felt wrong, but what went through
my head was Todd Howard and Pete Hines sitting there going, we really got to start cracking on
with this Elders Goal 6. We've really got to start. Oh, hold on. We've just had another order for
anniversary edition. Hold the horses. We're going to carry on with Skyrim. We're going to carry it.
We're still getting orders come through. Put the boffins back in their cages. We've just had another
one. Right. This time we're going to release it on windows, not the PC, actual windows.
Yeah. Just made me laugh. This is what happens though. I know this is, this is why this shit
happens. And I know they need a cash flow. They need something, but you've got Microsoft behind
you now. You don't need any money, man. I know, but you can't complain about it. Like I am,
I always hold the scroll six and now they keep releasing Sky when I am the sucker that's buying
it. Right. We complain. You're part of the problem. Yeah. But so are you. Don't pre-order games. We
always say that. Everybody says that. I see it all over Twitter this morning. Everyone's saying,
don't pre-order games, don't pre-order games. And then they're, they're contradicting themselves,
mocking themselves saying, I always say, don't pre-order. I just pre-order God of War. Yeah.
You know, because everybody does it. I did the same thing two episodes ago. Exactly. It's,
everyone's jumps on the bandwagon of don't do this, don't do that until it, until it's, don't
suit them no more. And then bang, do you know what I mean? So yes, I'm part of the problem. Yes. I,
spent more money on Skyrim. Do I care? Do I fuck? I love it. It's really fun. I'm having a great time
and it genuinely feels like playing it again for the first time, because I'm not really,
apart from the companion quest where I just turned into a werewolf, I only did that so I could get
the werewolf transformation ability. Um, apart from that, I haven't done anything that is Skyrim
related. I haven't even seen a dragon yet. So it's, oh yeah. Spoiler. Yeah. Spoilers. Spoilers for
Skyrim. Sorry about that. We have to cut that. Well, I'm, I'm glad that you've pulled yourself
out of a gaming lull. I think that's, that's, that's the, that's the main importance here is
that you've managed to do that through methods. I don't agree with, but methods I can understand.
Blood, sweat and tears, grit and determination. Yeah. I dragged myself out of that hole. Yeah.
Skyrim to be fair, Skyrim pulled me out of that hole. I was just laying there. There's nothing
left. And then I just heard Todd Howard go, but it just works. And I saw his hand come through,
come to me. He lifted me and there I was buying the anniversary edition. Yeah. And you left me in
that hole. I've now tent it up, made a nice little community down here because I'll be staying here
for a little bit longer. No, no, no, no, no. Cause now I'm, I'm literally leaning in the hole with
my hand whilst Todd is holding my other arm. Yeah. Me out the hole and you're pulling me out,
pulling you up back to Todd. We're going, we're going to a warm, cozy Skyrim hole. Hello, Todd.
I'm not coming to a Skyrim hole. I might, I might walk into a destiny themed hole.
No, I've just got into Skyrim. Don't do this to me. I've just spent money on Skyrim. I'm not,
no. He said to me, download destiny too. I think I said it on the pod last year. Yeah. I want to
get back into it. And I pretty sure I went, no, fuck yourself. And then shortly after recording,
as I said, I reverted back to everything I did. Like I ignored everything I just said and I loaded
up the PlayStation. It was already downloaded. It was on there. So, and I haven't, I haven't had a
chance to, well, I've had all the chances in the world. I mean, I've had all the time, but it's
been too hot. It has been hot. And I, I, maybe it is because I'm in a gaming lull. That's why I
haven't come over here and jumped on the PlayStation. I should do really Steph's away for tonight and
a portion of tomorrow. So maybe tonight's the night that I jump on it after love Island. Of
course. I need to watch that first. Of course it's movie night. It's movie night. I've no idea.
It's going to be drama or it's going to kick off, but I won't get into it. I'll save that for the
love Island pod. Yeah. But yeah, I, I, I'm, I'm not going to be going onto the Skyrim hype. I don't
much care for the play style of it. Whereas destiny, I very much enjoy the play style of that.
I find that very fun. I think, especially while I'm in a gaming lull, maybe this is the thing that,
that, that, that allows me to catch up if you will, because it's a mess when you haven't played that
game for ages and then you log in, it's a mess, but I have Ash here who is going to guide me
through that because he's going to go back on destiny because that's what I'm doing. I'm not,
I'll be hunting orcs for their skin and I'll be wearing it. This is fantastic. Oh, this is just
where we are. This is why you need to unmute your PlayStation. If I go into space again,
I won't be coming out. That's the problem. I've just got myself away from space. All right. I've
just read free star Wars books back to back. I've been playing star Wars battlefront two.
I didn't even mention the fact that I just had bought star Wars battlefront two, the 2005 edition
for like a 10 off the X-Box the other day. What I know exactly. This is how desperate I've been.
I bought a 2005 game at star Wars. I've been playing that on the secret on the sly. What's
happening? I ain't got no friends on X-Box and no one can judge me. So no one's going, what are you
doing? What is happening? I don't know. It's very odd. So things are going on. I'm like, why am I
buying this? I can't help it. So I've been playing star Wars destiny, star Wars Jedi, foreign order,
star Wars, the flying squadron game. I'm playing all the stars and I'm coming out of space. I've
gone back down to my roots, my RPG, my medieval, my older fantasy stuff. And I've just got in there.
I just loving it. And Todd's pulled me up and he go, kid, you enjoy that. And now you're trying
to get me back into space. You enjoy that. Give me your wallet first and then you can enjoy that.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that you're talking shit. You're going to come
back to destiny. That's what's going to happen. This man at it. Was it the beginning of the year?
They weren't much far, far into the year. And he said, destiny, which Queens coming out. This is
going to be my number one game. I'm going to focus all of my efforts into this. Did he play it? Did
he fuck? I fucking did. I played this shit. I've got notes at home. I was making notes leading up
to the witch queen. I did all the witch queen prep. There's a little website you can sign in.
It shows you how did you play the witch queen though? How much did you put into that? I completed
the whole witch queen campaign on a hard difficulty. Apologies. I've done the whole
campaign. You dropped it. But yeah, I dropped it. Yeah. But I know even bought the ultimate edition.
So I've got like the season pass for the next five seasons as well. So, and I jumped on it the
other day. I was playing it the other day and I love it. But the problem is with destiny is there's
a lot of, I'm, I'm scared. I'm scared. Scared. Hold me. So basically I would if there weren't
desks between basically what happens is, and I didn't realize until the last time I put a
substantial amount of time into destiny is there's obviously god rolls of weapons. Right? Yeah.
Right. So you can land and go, wow, that's a god roll. It's got all the, the bits and bobs on it
that make it perfect. All the stacks I need. Yeah. For PvP or PvE. Yeah. You sound like a wow player.
But I, I don't know what they are, but guess who does? A website. The internet. Yeah. D2 checklist.
Yeah. You go on there, you sign in, you refresh it. It refreshes your inventory and it tells you
if you've got a god roll. Yep. I've got one god roll in the amount of years I've been playing
destiny. It's a guillotine sword. It's pretty good. You know, not many people have got it. It's a god
roll. I mean, come on. But now that is an obsession. So every time I pick up an item, once I go back
to the tower, I'm, I'm, I'm looking, I'm like, god roll, god roll, god roll. And then, but there's
options. Good roll. Okay. Roll. My vault is filled up with shit. I don't even know what, what is good.
What isn't, but I'm so scared of dismantling a god roll that it paralyzes me. I'm just, I,
oh, but this one might be good. Why don't you just learn your stats? Because I'm not that smart. But
you just said you wrote notes down. Yeah. Yeah. I was right. There will be a build surely. Surely
there's a build on there. Yeah. But how many guns are on that game? I don't know what I want. Yes.
But there'll be a meta, won't there? Yeah. But it changes a lot. And I'm not really a massive
PVP guy, but I do like PVP on there. And obviously you have to do, I want to play destiny now.
For God's sake, man. You, you, you, I'll take you through the, you haven't got the witch queen.
I don't care. I was expecting to pay 350 quid for the yacht. No audition. I've got money to spare.
Well, I'll tell you what we'd do. Sorry, Steph. We'll go off. Right. Let me, I'm not going to
commit, but what I'll say, I'll think about doing, cause I wanted to start a new character. Yes. So
I'll, I'll think about starting a new character. They should bring out a new class and then, yeah,
they should. And we'll go, they are, they have updated all the subclasses. So now they've got
void 2.0. I see that when I jumped on, I got so confused. Yeah. See, I know all that. Yeah. Maybe.
So yeah, I was thinking about starting a new character recently anyway. And I mentioned this
to you last week and you shot me down in flames. So no, I didn't. She did. I'll start a new character
and we'll go through it. If you're going to, if you're going to buy the witch queen, cause it
won't be that expensive if you just buy the witch queen campaign. It's only cause I bought the super
duper thing and I've got a really good SMG that you can only get if I love, I just unlocked the
exotic catalyst for it as well. When I was playing it the other day, cause now you can level guns up.
So they made you grow an attachment to a certain weapon. It's pretty cool. Not all weapons,
but yeah. So I'll create a new character and we'll go through the witch queen. I'll take you through
the campaign. It's actually really good. It's really interesting. Um, the best campaign that
I've played from destiny anyway. How much is it? I've got the PlayStation app. I'll have a little
look. See Lou. You might be able to get through and we'll see how much it is. If I, um, well,
let's not do it right this second. Cause you, you're stalling and wasting time, but yeah,
sorry, I really like Skyrim. So this is awkward for me. Well play Skyrim then. Yeah. But now you're
making me want to play destiny. I'll wander off and I'll play destiny on my little Todd. No,
cause you'll be messaging me every five minutes. I have a saying, what's this? How do I do this?
Or this is fucking shit. And that will piss me off enough to go, well, it ain't, is it? So I'll have
to jump on and change your mind. Do you know what I mean? There's no way you play this without my,
you know, overseeing. I don't think I'd sit there and say, I love, I love the game play style.
What's the best? I spent hundreds of hours on that game. So I, I wouldn't sit there and say it's
shit. I had just have a problem with if I log into a game and I don't immediately understand
every single aspect of it, I switch it off. I go, I can't handle this. Goodbye. You see,
you'll probably, you probably compliment me quite well because you're MMO background. Whereas I like
the shooting. I'm all right at shooting games. I'm all right at first person shooters. I'm pretty
good. Pretty smart. I tend to just sneak around and be, you know, if I, if I'm in trouble, I'll
get out of there. I'm not trying to be no hero. You're like a rogue. Yeah. I'm a bit of a John
McClain, you know, I'll go in, I'll get, I'm blowing shit up. But if I've got a retreat back in the
vents, go out to the coast, get together, have a few laughs. You know, I know what I'm doing,
but when it comes to, Oh, do I want to go for all these stats? And I'm just like, drop me out. I'm
not interested in that. You're more stats. Yeah. You're more that guy. So you can be like my stats.
I like getting involved and be, well, yeah, I, I, I enjoy that. Well, you just understand MMO mechanics
more than me. I haven't got a clue. I find them tedious. So you're probably better at that.
So you might compliment me more. I mean, you know, I've never really played destiny with you. We had
a quick 10 minute burst once and you was like, yeah, that was your last. See ya. This is why I
was still me, me and Ash weren't, um, we weren't as close as we are now, but we're so close now.
But beforehand, there was, there was intimidation there. I was a bit scared. So playing with Ash
was a bit like, Oh, there's never any need ever at all. But there we go. Anyway, destiny is
definitely on the cards. Then I'll, I'll make a mental note of that. Goodbye, Skyrim. Thanks,
Todd. I'm glad you, I hope you enjoy your fucking 18 quid. Yeah. Um, sorry for people waiting for
Elder Scrolls 6 because I've just prolonged it. Well, there you go. So we're at a game in low.
That was easy, wasn't it? Um, I will very quickly, just very quickly, I will bet you a Funko pop of
your choosing below 50 quid that GTA 6 will come out before Elder Scrolls 6 will. Barely my,
neither of them have been announced. Absolutely not. Why would I take that's the dumbest bet I've
ever heard. Why is that dumb? Because Bethesda are just about to release Starfield. No, they're
not releasing it though. It's Microsoft that are releasing that. That wouldn't be a thing if it
weren't for Microsoft. Apart from the fact that Bethesda only got bought last year and now it's
releasing. So they're about to release Starfield. Grogstar have done fuck all since Red Dead 2.
Yeah. Yeah. I wonder what's coming next. And then, and also the information about GTA is ramping up
rapidly. You'll be kicking yourself when Elder Scrolls 6 comes out and you'll be sitting there
on your knees crying because you could, you could have had your hands full. How many bets
have I lost against you? How many pop Funkos have you bought me because you lost a bet? Two. Yeah,
exactly. And there's been also other times where you've refused to take a bet knowing full well
that you would lose. So, you know, who's, what's this? Da, da, da, da, da, da, da. Don't worry.
It's just a message that don't matter. Good. Oh fucking great. Yeah. You've thrown me. Anyway,
that leads on nicely to Funko Pops because that was actually the next question. Not very gaming
related apart from kind of collecting gaming Funko Pops, but yeah, we're kind of gone a bit mad with
it lately. A bit. Yeah. Well, I'm a big Star Wars fan. I'm sure you've heard and yeah, I spent,
I spent a bit of money on grand Admiral for those that know, know he's the goat. He's probably one
of the coolest people in Star Wars history and he looks like potentially going into the Star Wars
Mandalorian series, but who knows? But yeah, I spent a lot of money on a grand Admiral from pop
figure and uh, I regret nothing. I've also been burnt massively. Yeah. I've been done over by some
guy on eBay. I'm sending it back. He turned, he fucking turned up twisted. His head was all
around the wrong way. I messaged him. I was like, what the fuck is this? The exorcist rocked up.
He was like, I'll just take it out of the box and twist it. It'll be fine. I said, fuck off. You're
having it back. He was like, I'll give you a fiver back. I said, no. And then what was the,
what was the last message? He said, okay, I'm sorry. I'll give you a tenner back. You're having
it back. You know, you're having it and you're giving him your money back. We're, we're sort of,
Ash has got me into Funko pops. I had a couple knocking around and then he was like, fuck,
you know, get yourself into these boys. So I have, I've sort of, I've dived face first into it. I've
hit the concrete, but I'm there and we're, we're learning together to distinguish what a fake Funko
pop is. And yeah, like Ash just said, he has been burnt by fakes. I'm pretty sure all of mine are
real. They're in front of us. There's many. I was just looking then just about to go, ah,
there's many. There's the imposter. I too, I too have spent a decent whack of money on a
meter from cars, 1500 of them ever made. And that was it. So it's worth a decent amount of dough.
I am going to scalp that. I have no interest in cars whatsoever. I just see that I could get it
for a hundred quid and then sell it for 250. So I'm going to sit on that for a couple of months
and resell it. But the other things that I've got, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
mean a lot to me. You, what'd you say? It means a lot to you. They mean a lot to me. Listen,
look at that smog chase edition by the way. Yeah. And the death wing. Look, I've got the whole world
of warcraft. I'm not looking at that fucking car that you've got no interest in. You've just fully
admit to scalping. We just said don't pre-order, but we're pre-ordering games. Yeah, but that's
different. No, this is different. This is different. No, you're scalping someone that really,
really likes cars. There was eight people that were after it by the time I made it. So there's
eight people around this area that are desperate for that. Fuck them. They can pay a premium for
it if they want it. It looks cool. I like it. You're no better than Ryan. It's cool, but it's a
Funko. This isn't, this isn't a gaming edition thing. You said so yourself. It's good to,
problem with me and Ash is that our taste in Funko pops much like gaming is expensive. The shit he
likes is old and it's special. So it costs money and the shit I like, I'm like a magpie. I'm drawn
to anything shiny. So when I see a Funko with a shiny sticker on it, I think, oh, that's going to
be worth money. I want that now. So the shit that we've bought and we'll have in our collection,
other than one or two, is an investment. They're worth money. And this was just a simple investment.
It come up and I got it. But the difference between me and you, and I'm a fucking tell you,
right? Is I'll only buy things I'm interested in. So I bought Grand Admiral Thorne cause he's the
Donnie. He's the guy. He's the one. I love him. He's one of my favourite Star Wars characters.
I bought or wanted Ragnar Lothbrok because he's one of my favourite characters. I tried. I did try.
Well, we won't bring it up cause it's sore. It's still quite raw. I bought Thorne. I've bought
Geralt of Rivia. These are people that I love. These are characters that I love.
I got you the Geralt. No you didn't. I did. I got two of them. Remember?
No, you bought two hoping that one. Exactly. So thank you, Rhys.
Did you? Yes.
Thank you. You're welcome.
I've just completely tranquilised you.
I also bought the Witcher 3 collector's edition Geralt fighting a Griffin statue.
Now I just think that was a disgruntled ex-girlfriend selling her ex-boyfriends.
Looks fucking good though. I've seen it. It's very nice.
Collecting dust, but it's heavy. It's strong. It's powerful. I got the box.
I also back to kickstart Ronin Geralt. I'm a big Witcher 3 fan also or Witcher in general.
Read a lot of the books, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But I will only invest in items,
even if they're at a high price, if I like them. This dickhead on the other hand,
he's got no interest in cars, the movie, but he's gone, oh yeah. In one hand, he's got his phone.
In the other hand, he's got it up. How much is this worth then?
Yep. Is it worth money? Bang, I'm buying it.
Yep. Then he'll flip it. That's scalping. I'm not that guy. I'll sit on my items until I got
no food left and then I'll be like, oh, I suppose I could sell one of these.
You know what? I have purchased it as an investment and probably, well, purchased it with the intent to
sell it later on. I enjoy the fact of someone wanting it more than enjoying the money I could
get for selling it. I know there's people that want that.
So you're sitting there going, I know that you want that.
Yeah. So I'm not going to give it to you. And I've got it.
Yeah. And I don't even like it. It means nothing to me.
Oh, so evil. It means nothing. I could throw that thing
in the bin. I don't fucking care. It don't bother me. I mean, I would have lost a hundred quid.
That would be annoying. Other than that, I don't give a fuck. The rest of the stuff though,
the World of Warcraft stuff, there's Illidan, a Merlock, Arthas, Sylvanus, and then there's Frowl.
They were a motherfucker to get hold of. Frowl's vaulted. It doesn't exist anymore.
It's difficult to get hold of them, but I got them.
When you say Throwl, is his name not just Thral?
It depends what accent you got.
Well, it's just Thral, isn't it? It's a name of...
Don't start. Some people call it Thral. I call it Frowl. It is Thral. You are correct,
but I call it Frowl. I don't know why. Grass, grass.
No, let's not be silly now.
There's some Stranger Things, Funkos. Stranger Things are pretty cool. I don't even like
Stranger Things, and they're pretty cool to be fair.
I'm still waiting on Hopper. It's Will, a Demogorgon, a Levin, and then there's Hopper,
but it's the ones where Will and the Demogorgon are in the upside down, and they actually flip
round in the box, and then they all connect up and all that shit. It's just... I love them.
Look at them. Look at these toys. I know. They're exciting.
I've been collecting them for years. Welcome to my world.
Look at my eBay listings. How many I'm watching. It's crazy. I went mental. I saw the Toy Story
ones of which there's loads, and thought, I want these ones. I want Ham, I want Rex, I want Buzz,
and I found them all on eBay, and the majority of them were sort of like bid or best offer type
thing, and I sent offers into, I think it was like 10 different Funkos, and then it was after,
is when I was like, fuck, what have I done? Because they're all like 40 odd quid. I thought,
oh no, luckily only two of them accepted. The rest of them declined me, and then I sort of sat down
and went, no, I'll unwatch all of these, because I got a bit mental with it, because some of them
are really cool. The things I like about them is they're cool. I like looking at them. My wife has
now allowed me to place some of them above the television. Finally.
Yeah. So I'm allowed a few select items, only the top tier. Every now and again, one will get demoted,
put back on top of the wardrobe in the bedroom. Maybe her mum's loft, but my priors possessions,
they live above the television where the children can't reach.
The Ghost of Tsushima one.
Yeah, I haven't got that one. You remember when I said that's the one that I really,
really wanted, and you was like, oh, that's cool. I've got one of them now.
Yeah, but then you found one straight away.
But I never bought it.
No. It's upsetting, but I did pay a premium for it.
Mm, pain. So yeah, once again, gutted about that, but there we go.
You can buy it if you want.
No, thank you, scalping scum. So I'm a huge fan and I've only just recently started collecting
the expensive ones because I've always collected them, but I was like, ah, fuck it. I'll come out
the box. Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no more. The good thing about them is a lot of them will
end up vaulted. Well, they'll all end up vaulted eventually because they're never just going to
keep making them. But the ones that are worth money, I, Grand Admiral Thorne, now you can only
get him from like Star Wars Convention 2017 or something like that. There's not going to be that
many of them out there. And the thing is, as far as I'm aware, it will never lose value. So
I enjoy it. I enjoy looking at it. I don't know why. It pleases me aesthetically.
I like having it and just knowing that I've got money there if ever I need it, I can sell it.
It might not, you know, might not sell instantly, but everything's got its price and it's only worth
what someone's willing to pay. So it's nice to know I've got nice items that I like and they're
worth a bit of dough basically. But yeah, I just, I don't know why I like them. I don't even remember
why I bought the first one I ever bought. I can't even remember what it was. Mine was Jacob Frye.
He got gifted to me for my birthday. Oh, what the fuck's this shit? And now look at you.
Now look at me. Look at me. I'm a massive fan of Linkin Park. They're my favourite band ever.
I have Chester Bennington tattooed on my arm. God rest his soul. And I discovered they did Funko Pops
for their Hybrid Theory album. And I was trying to get hold of one of them. There is one on eBay.
I'm watching it at the moment. I actually put an offer in and he declined it. And he was like,
I'm going to let the bid do its thing. And no one bidded for it.
Why'd you put on a voice? He put it on eBay. Let him do his thing. That's why he put it on eBay.
You ain't got no God given right to make an offer and accept this.
I offered him five quid under what he was wanting and no one bidded on it and he lost out. He could
have just sold it to me and now it's going to sit there and rot. Maybe he didn't want to sell it.
Maybe his mum was like, put that on fucking eBay. We got bills to pay.
I have a way. They have a Hybrid Theory one and they recently announced their
reanimation album Funko Pop. Now I was extremely excited straight on the Linkin Park store.
Pre-ordered it $20, $20 postage, whatever the fuck the import tax is. And I waited for a month.
I heard nothing. So I thought, oh, I'll have a look on the emails and see if anything's popped up.
Nothing had popped up yet. So I Googled it. I Googled when it's actually releasing
and it's late July, early August. But whilst Googling it, I found it on Smith's Toys
for 16 quid. Bought that. It turned up within two days. I cancelled my order through the Linkin
Park store. I don't understand how I got one that hasn't even released yet. Explain that.
I don't know.
It don't make sense. I don't get that because it's not released. And if you go on eBay,
there's still, you can only get the pre-orders of it. I don't understand what's happened,
but I'm happy about it. I'll put a picture on the Instagram so you can have a little look,
see, learn, put some offers in if you want it.
I gave you the access codes to the Holy Grail of the Instagram last week. You've put one post on
possibly too. You need to, you need to do better.
It was a good post though.
Want it?
Yeah. There's some good pictures of that. It's a nice act.
What's next? Sting, Sting going on there. Is he not good enough for you?
I was thinking about what to do with Sting. I was actually, and the only reason I didn't do it
is because I didn't have the right gear on. I was going to chainsaw a slice out of one of the trees
in the garden and put the ax in it and then take a picture because you can't actually use this ax.
It will cut through wood. I have no doubt, but it says don't fucking use it to cut wood.
Don't ever doubt our commitment. Listen to what he was willing to do to put one picture on Instagram.
That's going to get four likes.
I was going to kill a tree.
And then four likes for all us and multiple accounts.
Yeah. The What's the Buttons account and then my account and then Ash's account.
And then my, and then maybe a couple of our pals who were lucky.
Maybe Steph. Yeah. I was walking around the garden trying to think because I'm not much
of a photographer. I put everything on automatic and just let the chips fall where they may.
But it's difficult to come up with, when you do a podcast and we don't film anything
and the room's a fucking mess.
Not yet. Back us on Patreon.
My clothes are in the corner. My Funko pops are there. There's Styrofoam next to me.
There's a lamp that's got no light bulb in it. It's difficult to take a picture in here
and post it up. You know what I mean? And the lighting's not good.
So don't be fucking having a go at me. It's your Instagram.
Who's having a go at who? I said you did very well.
You. No, you just, you just did, digged at me because I'm not putting anything on.
And then you said you did put something on and it was very good. I said, yes, it was.
Look at the commitment he's putting in.
You're scrotum.
Yes. That got out of nowhere.
I'll take it.
Apologies.
It's a fair assessment.
I will try my best.
Quite really.
Not my ball bag, my face. I'm old.
To put up more on the Instagram. I just need to think of what,
because I think the, the screenshots of our RSS of Spotify is probably getting a bit boring.
People are probably sick of fucking looking at it.
That's why I said you need to do it. You're more creative in that respect.
You're, you know, you're the smart guy behind the screen.
People are just here for my charisma because that oozes out of me.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
I would agree.
I'm witty.
I would agree.
You're the charisma. I'm just the guy that presses the buttons.
No, you're pretty charismatic. I'm just saying you're smarter.
You've probably got a better eye for that sort of stuff. You're a bit younger than me.
You're more in that world of social media. I'm not really that guy.
So I just thought you'd be better at it and I'm not seeing enough.
But what I have seen has been very good. Top quality. Well done.
I can always.
But no one wants to see screenshots of Twitter or RSS no more.
I can always put up pictures of the mugs.
No, you can put a picture up of your mug.
Why?
Not your face. The cup.
This mug.
Your face?
No, I want to put a picture up of your mug.
No.
Why?
No. No. Thank you.
You can take a picture of that with my name.
They live here. I'd fucking take a picture of everyone.
I'd smash it on my way out. How about that?
Has the other one turned up?
Well, it hasn't obviously because you're not fucking here.
No, I told her not to worry about it.
Don't worry about it.
We'll deal with that later date because now obviously she ordered them before the logo was sorted.
So now we need to get proper ones.
You know, we've got mugs.
Ash's wife so very lovingly got our faces plastered on mugs with our names
as a little tribute to the podcast.
She couldn't have picked a worse photo on me. So cheers, love.
I look all right to be fair.
Yeah, you do because I gave the photo to put on for you.
My beard's a bit of a mess.
Are you all right?
I've trimmed it up though. It looks a bit better.
Don't be so harsh on yourself.
Way, way off course. That's where we've gone.
Yeah, we have. Right. So I'm just looking at your pop figures.
Well, look at this. Look at this transition.
All right. Jacob Fry. Nice.
Nice.
Murlock. Love that.
Yep.
Eleven. Stranger Things.
Yeah.
No idea.
I see where this is going.
Yeah.
I don't know what that is. That's not a pop figure. That's a mini epic.
Yeah.
It's Gollum.
And that leads us ever so elegantly onto the subject of Gollum.
Can you do a good Gollum impression?
No, I'm not even going to try.
Would you like to try?
No, I wouldn't. Go on.
Well, I don't mind having a couple of tries,
editing the shit ones out and then getting the decent one.
Yeah, I'll edit them out. Go on.
No, no, no, no. I ain't got it in me.
I am a massive Lord of the Rings fan.
I will die with the thought of it being the best.
I put them all as one movie.
I know they're separated, but I'll throw them in as one
because you can't just watch one and stop.
You watch them all.
Lord of the Rings versus Star Wars special.
Well, it's going to be Lord.
Because it wouldn't though, would it?
It would be Star Wars that win.
Even though it deserves to be Lord of the Rings.
Why? Why? Why for both?
Let's not get into it right now.
Yeah.
What we're trying to get onto the subject of is the Gollum game
that's being released.
The the cinematography of it looks fucking incredible.
The the areas and everything.
The idea of that game seems very, very, very good.
When it was first announced, I was fucking excited
because I thought this is this is going to be great.
You get to play as Gollum.
That's that's crazy.
And when I saw bits of how it's going to look,
I thought this this looks gorgeous.
This is going to be a fantastic game.
Recently, we saw a gameplay trailer of it.
A little reveal.
Shit. It looks awful.
Doesn't it?
Yeah, it looks really bad.
Well, I don't want to I don't want to shit all over it yet.
It's in the early stages still.
I don't know if it is.
I genuinely don't think it is.
I I like Lord of the Rings.
I'm not going to shit on Lord of the Rings.
I do like it.
I've watched them.
I really like the Hobbit as well.
I think they're very good.
Very good.
Really enjoyed them.
I'm a big fan of fantasy and I'm a big fan of not really sci-fi,
just Star Wars, actually.
But nevertheless, I'm not too keen on the look of Gollum.
Now, it's not Gollum, is he?
But take away the fact of that.
It's more I just think you could have if you're going to put
some serious investment into a Lord of the Rings game,
you could have gone a bit better than Gollum.
Is it the game mechanics?
They don't look very interesting to me.
It looks a lot.
It looks like Metal Gear Solid, which I love.
But do I want to play Sneakathon with Gollum?
Yeah, it's too stealthy.
Listen, we haven't seen enough, but my early impression is it's not a great one.
I think.
Have you ever played Shadow of War?
Shadow of Mordor?
Loved them.
Yeah, played them both.
Me too.
Fantastic.
Very good.
Very, very good.
Very innovative.
Innovative.
We'll cut that.
Yeah, but it's got the Nemesis system.
Genius.
Really good system.
Which I'm very surprised hasn't been implemented in more games by now.
Fantastic.
Especially with the power of the PS5 now, because was that PS3?
And then transitioned into PS4.
Yeah, I believe so.
So if that, yeah, it was.
The second one wasn't.
Because the PS3 didn't have the power to put the Nemesis system on,
but the PS4 did.
So the PS3 version didn't have it.
The PS4 version did, I remember.
So to start that at the early generation of PS4, go through that whole generation,
release another game, Shadow of War, I believe was the second one.
Very good.
And never to implement the Nemesis system in any other games.
It never like took off.
No, but it was so good, so clever, so innovative.
Find a different word to use.
So good.
It was so good.
So smart.
Well done, guys.
Yeah, so very, very interesting mechanics.
I find that them games are far more suited.
I don't know how many people are screaming for a Golem game.
People are screaming for Lord of the Rings games.
Yeah.
Golem game.
I think they could have gone, you know, people probably would have preferred an Aragorn game.
Yeah, I feel that there's, they've all got a unique storyline and backgrounds.
Golem, we obviously, if we're watching the movies, we've seen pretty much his his storyline.
We've seen what happens to him.
Used to be a hobbit, got fucked up by the ring, got tortured a bit.
Now he's some little cretin that eats raw fish.
I mean, that's sort of that.
That's it, basically.
And then spoilers, melts in a volcano.
So it's out of all the characters, probably the weaker storyline.
And I think making a game about it, because it really does look good.
Like graphics wise, it looks very good.
But yeah, the stealth aspect of it, I can't see there being much action and it being very gripping.
And yeah, it's a bit of a waft.
So yeah, it doesn't look too good.
It doesn't look promising.
Hopefully it can wow.
Because they're always the best games, I think.
Games that are like, yeah, I don't know.
I don't like look at that.
And then it comes out and goes, wow, that was impressive.
They could have definitely gone with a different character, like Aragorn or even Legolas.
Something like that.
Gimli, I'm just fucking naming all of them.
Any of them other than Golem.
Just showing off his knowledge now.
Would have been good.
Flexing for the Lord of the Rings.
I'm genuinely thinking of the Lord of the Rings.
Funko pops right now.
I want it to be very good.
I don't think it will be very good.
I always get a bit dubious when you can buy a brand new game for 40 quid in this day and age.
I don't know.
I just looked.
I think it says 50.
Is it 50?
Yeah, 50 quid PS5.
Even then.
It's a bit of an on Amazon.
It's 42.95.
Argos is 50.
Yeah.
Not that that should really matter.
To be fair, they're normally 60 now.
So it's cheap.
That's what I'm saying.
It is cheap for not saying the game itself is cheap.
I just think that.
It's being developed by Daedalic Entertainment, GmbH, who I've never heard of.
Yeah.
Who the fuck is that?
Who is that?
I don't know.
And also, if they haven't done anything of no disrespect, how have they managed to snag the Golem?
Well, they obviously haven't done it properly.
Because if you see the way that Golem looks, it looks nothing like him.
Yeah, but they still have to have permission to use their...
His body.
Well, everything.
His fucking body and that's it.
If we made a Lord of the Rings game, regardless of who it was, you'd need permission.
That's why Star Wars games are so expensive.
Make battle fun for fuck's sake.
But they won't because it costs too much money to get the licenses is the word I was looking for.
The license is to use all of them characters.
Yeah.
But yeah, I can't even find out any of their past games.
I'm a bit confused.
Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe we've been too narrow minded and too disrespectful.
I will buy it when it comes out.
Just because...
No, no, no.
Just because...
He's going to preorder it.
Just because...
I won't preorder it.
I don't even know if you brought...
I don't even think you could fucking preorder it.
But I will buy it because it's got that Lord of the Rings sticker on it to see what it's like.
And if it is shit and it is only 40 odd quid, that's not the worst thing in the world.
You know what I mean?
If it was 70 quid by PS5 standards of games, then be a bit more difficult to swallow that.
But I will see how it is.
I just...
I'm not excited for it.
I think the Amazon series will play a big part in why, if this game is popular, how it is popular.
Know what I mean?
Yeah, I'm going to completely lie and say, yeah, the Amazon series looks really good.
I haven't even looked.
What do you mean look?
Oh, I thought you were about to say...
What do you mean you haven't looked?
Well, I...
You sent me the...
I'm just hooking a brother up.
I know you love Lord of the Rings.
I see Lord of the Rings.
I go, here, LingDog, have a go on that.
Watch it.
It is beautiful.
It looks fucking incredible.
The money that has been spent on the production of this is...
It's mental.
One's about to fall in a fire.
You can only have one.
Lord of the Rings series, the last of us series.
Last of us.
Because you got the Lord of the Rings movies and you got the Hobbit.
I'm happy with them being left there.
Last of us.
Even though there'll be people that will whinge about that one.
They should have Abby in it, really.
That'll be a nice little...
That'll be a nice one to piss people off.
But yeah, it would be the last of us, wouldn't it?
Because the Lord of the Rings...
You have to watch the shit on it.
I thought you'd seen stuff.
I believe I've seen the first trailer.
I can't recall anything of it.
Because I think it's set a long time for the films, no?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
So, yeah.
My Lord of the Rings knowledge is not as impressive as my Star Wars knowledge.
And even that's a stretch.
It's very good.
I recommend you spend the 10 minutes to have a look.
I'll watch it. I'm a huge fan.
Huge fan of Lord of the Rings.
I will definitely watch it.
I just haven't...
It'll be fantastic.
Just watching trailers like that don't really do it for me.
Unless you're doing Aragorn spin-off, then I'll be like,
oh, I know these characters so I can actually understand what's going on in the trailer.
But if you're just going to show me a trailer of a bunch of,
oh, this is Gimli the second and I've got no...
They are...
Yeah.
The thing that you sent me, the latest trailer of it,
you won't recognize anyone at all.
There's no one in there.
Same with the Game of Thrones spin-off.
I will be like, I'm not really...
I love Game of Thrones.
I'll definitely watch it, but I'm not too interested because it's not,
oh, here's Jon Snow and...
Yeah, but Game of Thrones fucking burnt everyone anyway with their last season.
So, you know what I mean?
Lord of the Rings hasn't burnt anyone with their shit.
Has it not?
I didn't think Lord of the Rings fans were too positive on the Hobbit.
Fuck them.
Is that real?
They're not real fans, are they?
In your opinion, yeah.
If they're all screaming about the Hobbit.
The Hobbit was lovely.
I love the Hobbit.
The Hobbit was movies that were designed for everyone,
much like the World of Warcraft movie.
Yeah, but there's always going to be people that ain't pleased.
There's a lot of...
I'm a massive Star Wars fan.
I love pretty much all of them,
but there's some people that are just like, no, this is awful because X, Y, and Z.
Yeah, but they just want to stir shit.
They're the types of people that will buy a Mater for 250 quid.
Fuck them.
They're the ones you're targeting.
Yeah, I'm going after them.
If you hate Lord of the Rings and all that type of shit,
send us a DM.
I might have some shit I can sell you.
I don't know, man.
I like Lord of the Rings.
We'll see where the series goes.
Indeed.
I think that's a nice little roundup.
Well, normally we go into what we've been playing this week.
We covered that.
Well, we did cover it, and other than that, we played fuck all.
Yeah.
Hopefully next week we'll have a little bit more to talk about in terms of what we played.
Maybe I would have spent 600 quid on the Yacht-Nar edition as well.
Yeah.
Hopefully it rains soon, because scorched earth is burning me.
Yeah.
And it's kind of ruining my life.
Please go away.
Maybe we might not even survive Monday and Tuesday.
You won't.
Why?
I'll be a night owl.
Oh, yeah.
He's not on the day shift.
I'm on the graveyard shift, baby.
Yeah, you enjoy that, won't you?
Will do.
Right.
Anyway, thanks for listening, guys.
It's been a pleasure, as always.
Bye.
Bye, Ro.
