Hello, welcome to episode 10 of what's the buttons here with me the prince and
Stinkiest of all the logs the very stinkiest log
We're here it's a special episode today cuz it's the tenth one but we've done nothing for it nothing at all
I've got some confetti. No, I just thrown it. So you'd see it if you sponsored us and we got go pros
But we haven't
So yeah, I've done nothing this week apart from work
What about you?
Played a couple of games nothing crazy to be fair look between a lot of games. Yeah, Logan already just has been busy
Yeah
What are you fucking tapping the desk? What is it? Stop it stop tapping?
Sorry, cuz all they can hear is tapping. How much is a fidget spinner?
No, I'm gonna get one
Um
Well, this is the tenth one. I mean, I can't believe we've made it this far
Yeah, this is fantastic. Yeah, I'm still enjoying it a lot. I'm still having a great great time. It's good fun
It is good fun. It's good fun
I'll see if I still enjoy it in the winter and I have to drag myself out this freezing cold and yeah to be fair
It is quite warm in here in the winter. So it shouldn't be too bad
Well, it's not that it's having the motivation to get up and get out and if you've got the motivation to go to gym
Every fucking day. You've got the motivation to come sit on your ass in here and have free coffees and just talk shit for an hour
This is true. Exactly. Okay. See fantastic. Well done. We've just had Connor leave
Shout out to Connor shout the con man. Mmm con rod. We're we're delving into the world of
Dungeons and Dragons, maybe I've made a character. You've made a character. You're gonna go on Monday and test the very complicated
Yeah, you dip your toe in let me know if it's warm. Mmm
It seems quite exciting to be fair
It's a completely different world and creating a character was very I
Have no fucking idea what I've done to be fair Connors just coached us through it all basically basically a Lord of the Rings monopoly
Yeah, that's what we're cool. Yeah Lord of the Rings monopoly
Connors
Spending his bank holiday weekend playing Dungeons and Dragons three days in a row
and I might go and join him on the Monday to see what the crack is about because
Yeah, I'll be the I'll be the front runner for that and I'll come back with information for action
He can decide whether or not it's worth his valuable time
My time is very valuable. So it will it will definitely make a difference
I did will so that's fun exciting. Right. Well first topic then destiny to
Announced a big expansion in February. So now it's my turn to wait like you've been for World of Warcraft
Endlessly wait, you got a long way
But
Get a fortnight armor in there. So, you know, I don't know what is that?
Cuz I keep seeing that pop up like between bungee and
And whatever fortnight armor in destiny and destiny is getting destiny armor in fortnight
That sounds awful. Well, it's not why would you want?
Fortnight armor. Yeah, I mean the fortnight in destiny arm. Yeah bun that but what is that?
I don't understand. Well, it's just you remember the old night and stuff like that
Yeah, fortnight basically that but like a darker destiny version. It looks pretty cool. I've got picture of it. So me hold on
Sorry guys. Mmm. There he is on the on the left. Oh
Absolutely. Nothing like what it was then well, he's other than being a spitting image. I suppose. Yeah, it's not though
Is it well what it is? I don't know looks quite cool. Yeah, so destiny to lightful
February sometime
Six I and might pull me back into destiny
I put post on the what's the buttons Instagram?
Saying that the DLC or expansions are all free at the moment
All three although I do believe that only to be on the epic game store
So it might be a PC only thing probably so it doesn't bother me. So I've got them all anyway. Yeah, so do I
interestingly
There's a hundred pound version
Of the lightful
If you finish if you finish the witch queen at the end in like a Marvel kind of way, there's a
After the end, there's a there's a villain that appears which has been
Orchestrating things shall we say I suppose through the story
I'm not I'm not too good with the destiny stories like shooting stuff and picking up shiny things
Which destiny is known for and being good at yep
So yeah, I believe well, I know that he's gonna be the next villain
But they've implemented a lot of changes a lot of things people are wanted. I don't remember anyone asking for whips
But here you are spider-man whips. Yeah, you can fly about
But yeah, interestingly, there's a hundred pound version and it comes with an auto rifle which
Well, it looks delicious if I'm perfectly honest with you and
It's really making me want to buy it just for the auto rifle. I mean, that's how pathetic I am
I'll be willing to dump a hundred bones
on a
pre-auto version
on a pre-order of an expansion just to get
the
quick silver storm exotic or a rifle, but it's very cool because
Once you've hit X amount of shots
You can it then fires off micro missiles and then once you hit even more then
Holsters a grenade in this you can fire a grenade what I've seen of it very good in PvE
Rubbish in PvP and you can only get there with a hundred pound one. There's not like a well
Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. You sure they won't release it and then it'll be like for another 25 pounds. You can have this gun
No, I'm sure you'll be able to get it when lightful comes. So why?
Well, because people want it early don't they or what you get it before lightful comes out. You get it today people
Oh, you get it straight away. Yeah
Same with the witch queen. I said there was a SMG
That came out and I when I pre-ordered it, I can't remember what he's called, but people couldn't get it
I don't know if they can get it now. Mmm, or if it was just to the end of the season
I'm unsure but I've got that leveled it right up and yeah, it fires basically like home in insects
So you want to pay a hundred pounds? Yeah for a gun. Yeah
That's for a game that I don't even play. Yeah, that's crazy. Just because I've got it and you haven't that's this
I don't know why you don't know why I am the way I this is rare because I've had to pay for it and every every
Oh my god, he's got the exotic all a rifle
That everyone's got it yeah, yeah just quickly the villain. Mmm. Is that the one that looks like a mashed up creme caramel?
Well, I've got I'm trying to picture that
Let me get a picture of the villain up and you'll know what I mean
Because that's the first thing I thought of when I see him. Hold on. What's a creme caramel?
Huh? What's a creme caramel? A creme ca-
Fucking hell
A creme caramel? You'll know it when I see it
I have no idea what you're talking about
Creme caramel is that thing that loads of old people love to fucking munch on you get them in the little pots normally
That looks delicious, what is that made of?
Caramel just caramel
Ego them things you would have seen them. You probably would have had them. Yeah
I don't vibe but that looks dangerous. That looks like something from Mars. Yeah, but you know, you never had one looks like jelly
I've no I've seen them. I don't think I've ever
Partaken in its fruits. Okay, they're a bit shit. But now you know what a creme caramel is
Google the lightfall villain and you'll you'll understand
He's basically like the end of a cigarette he's just constant bellows of face smoke coming off his head
Talk among yourselves. All right. Yeah. Well, I'm excited for it. It might pull me back into destiny
I'll be honest with you. In February
Well now I'm interested but the problem is with destiny once I mean I mean and I can't get out and nothing else interests me and I'm
Yeah, enjoying call of duty at the moment and
Yeah, that's hard to drop. Oh, yeah, you're back on the call to do it
I can't I can't get a picture of the fucking villain. I'm a man of
the trouble is
Destiny to give it four weeks and then the modern warfare to bite us out
Oh, I'll get that and I'll whack that on and then I think a couple of weeks after that
I'll get early access to the campaign and then a week after that I get early access to the multiplayer and then a week after that
The game launches and then by then it's November and then God of Wars come out and everything closes down around us and we
Didn't go to war and then FIFA
Yes, FIFA because West Ham assigned those are cool players. I love West Ham
So you'll be able to play them in the in the championship. We're not in the championship. Are you been?
So yeah, I might pull me in but I don't know for how long and I don't really want to get sucked into that destiny hole
But you want on up you want I will I will I obsess
Yeah, but what you
Yeah, but what are you doing now you ain't playing anything I'm playing cod
Yeah, but so what's the problem if you play destiny and got obsessed with that again because you're not obsessed with cod now
Yeah, but then I wouldn't play cod so and then
Fuck cod no cuz I like it. Yeah, but you like destiny
I don't see the issue here
I can't like more than one thing at once I have to the only way that works is if it's a destiny and God of War or
Call of Duty and God of War has to be a single player multiplayer game
Would you even be interested if there wasn't a cosmetic gun that you could have?
Yeah, cuz I want to see where the story goes because the witch queen was fantastic
No, not now. I mean now not in fucking February
Yeah, because I dipped in a little while ago. I dip in and I dip out. We dipped our toes
I want to submerge. Yeah, I couldn't be bothered. I want to drown in destiny
Yeah, and you know me I love the space stuff
Yeah, it's true. So yeah destiny 2 is got an exciting future looks just took looks to be that
They're not slowing down anytime soon. So destiny 3 not on the horizon massive purchased by
PlayStation they've acquired bungee. So obviously they're not going to stop at destiny 2
But how much longer will they grind out content for a fairly old game? I don't know
Because it's the same type of shit with World of Warcraft a lot of people are calling for world like the second one
Because it's how long can you go in terms of expansion destiny might be going down the same route
Maybe like falls the end of it
World Warcraft only been World Warcraft. This is already the second destiny
So they're gonna sequel here. Yeah, I always forget about destiny one there. It's been so long in my mind
They've molded into two. There's a reason it's called destiny 2
Because it's the second. Yes. Yes. I understand how numerically how it works
Did you not hear what I said? Yeah, you're not listening. Yeah, I was do you remember?
I said yeah, I do remember I don't remember it. I played it but I don't remember it in my mind
If I'm honest, I enjoyed destiny one, but it's Clarkie so gassed over it and then I wasn't even interested in destiny 2
And I had lived off his hype. He's like I'm gonna go and get it later Tesco's or game or whatever
I was like yeah me too other stores are available. Yeah
So, yeah, we went down there and
I've just always had bad internet wherever I've lived. We went home after the midnight launch
Put it on and yeah mine just took four years to download. I fell asleep on the sofa didn't even play it nice
So yeah, that was a
But yeah, who knows what the future holds for destiny but whatever it is it is exciting for destiny fans
I am a destiny fan. So I'm all for it. I'm excited for those that are and myself
Moving on to something I'm interested in
Leng doggy dogger started playing Final Fantasy. He was telling me how it's really pulled him in
He can't wait to get to level 30 until he hits the samurai rank. No, I didn't go that mental with it. I
I I am looking to fill the void. I know what will happen may reiterate
This is the Final Fantasy online MMM Final Fantasy 14
But I'm not playing World of Warcraft at the moment I've got bored of it
This is normally what happens at the end of a season, especially when they release they announce sorry a new expansion a
lot of people including myself fall into the
The thinking of well, what's the fucking point in me doing anything right now because when that expansion comes out everything I do now
Is null and void including the gear that I work so hard for so it kills it for a lot of us
So normally when this happens people drop off and this year I am one of those people that have dropped off
it's fine, it's not an issue, but I'm trying to find something to fill that gap and
Final Fantasy was a tenor on Steam
I've I
Need to have a word with Square Enix their sign-up system
For making an account and all of that bullshit that comes along with it is the worst thing
I have ever experienced in my life Ash will remember the voice notes
I sent him because I played it first on PlayStation
And it's so fucking stupid because when you make an account, it's locked
Apparently locked so the account whatever I played the beta or some little trial thing years ago on my PlayStation
PlayStation but it locked it to that account. So
Years on when I've played it or tried to play it again. I can't remember anything
I can't remember the login, but it won't let you change it when it's locked and blah blah blah blah
So it's been a fucking nightmare and then
Free separate emails I've made to get an account free
I've used the what's the buttons email to get to get into it on my laptop and
And yeah, I finally got in and I was reading loads of reviews and watching loads of YouTube videos and thinking
I like this this must be alright because it's World of Warcraft rival and
everyone says how the community is so much better and that the graphics are so much more amazing than World of Warcraft and the story so
much better and blah blah blah and
I've played it
And I it just doesn't it doesn't grasp me
By the bollocks as much as World of Warcraft does it just doesn't what happened because the other day you were fairly upbeat on it
It just doesn't I think the I
Probably haven't given it as much time
There'll be other people that have played it a lot and we'll be sitting here going
Oh, you haven't given it enough time in blah blah blah blah
But for me, I don't think that the graphics are actually that good. I don't really like the character design
Everyone's running around as a woman
Because they in Final Fantasy they make them look as sexy as possible
So naturally all the all the big sweaty nerds are gonna make themselves a fit girl
so there's it and that's as far as it goes all the character models are very similar and
It's just when you when you get in
It's just very I think I don't find it immersive at all
It's got a 2.5 second global cooldown on your abilities, which I've just spoken a little gibberish to you
Yeah, on foreign to own World of Warcraft. It's two seconds
It basically means when you use an ability on on World of Warcraft
It has a cooldown before you can use it again, and normally they call it a global cooldown
So there will be out of 20 of your abilities
19 of them will follow that cooldown
So if you use an ability you can't use anything else for two seconds while it all cools down
Final Fantasy is two and a half seconds doesn't sound like a lot
But when you when you've done 13 14 years of a two second global cooldown
Two and a half makes that combat feel very slow because you're waiting that extra half a second
I didn't like that the UI of it all the HUD
It it is clunky to me. It looks it looks basic. It looks cheap for a game
That's for a game that's meant to be a lot better than World of Warcraft according to a lot of the people that play it
And have played both games
It seemed it seemed very
cheap and rushed in my eyes
But as I'm sure is the same with World of Warcraft, I guarantee there's mods. I'm pretty sure in game
You can even change the layout
So there there will 100% be something there to to address that
but
It just doesn't I don't know. It just doesn't grab me as much as as wow does
I like the I like the fact that on World of Warcraft you have different
Classes so rogue hunter warrior things like that. If you select one you make a character you make a rogue
If you then want to play a hunter, you gotta go and make another character
That's just how it works. Whereas with Final Fantasy you make one character once you hit a certain level you can switch
To any class you want on the fly. I like that. So you haven't got to make a load of characters that that that's enjoyable
but
Yeah, it just doesn't
Didn't pull me in as much as I thought it would I was really excited for it
It's one of them where I was thinking about it constantly at work and things of that and went to get home and play it
And when I finally got the chance to jump on it and see what what all the fuss was about
I just it just weren't maybe it's just because it's not my thing the art style and everything. It's very
It's very anime and that just doesn't doesn't roll with me if I'm honest
It's a fair assessment. So yeah, so but for a tenner you get 30 days free
So I've still got a couple of weeks worth that I can I can jump on if I feel like giving it another go
I'm not saying it's a bad game at all. It obviously isn't because there's millions of people that play it
I just don't think it was for me. I was hoping that it would be my replacement to World of Warcraft
But if I'm honest
Isn't it just isn't and that's that
Well, as I said to you the other day, I believe that from everything I've seen
I'm obviously not that MMO guy so I can't give solid advice
But when I've looked into it, um a lot of the advice has been
It gets very very very good after a hundred hours
Yeah, a hundred hours is a long time to put in something. You're not really enjoying just to get to see if it's anything
It's a lot of effort because that again it was very much once you get past level 30 is when it really starts to open up
but
The problem you run into is if if I've got to get to level 30 in the first place and it's not gripping me
At all through that like you just said it's a slog
And it's not I'm not that invested in it to do that MMOs can have in my opinion
Squishy middle but it needs to be grabbed
In the beginning and it needs to be a very interesting endgame. Yeah
They're the meat and gravy the endgame and to be grabbed at the beginning the middle is
You can be he'll miss but it has to be good at the start. Otherwise, you're not gonna go for it
Yeah, and if you'd like to say if you have to slog through
100 hours that people say before it gets to the world-class MMO
It claims to be then that's not good enough
But I don't know what it can do to change that much to make it
I
Accelerate to 10 out of 10. But my issue is that I will always compare every MMO to World of Warcraft
I just will and if I sit and I'll sit there and I'll go off
Well, World Warcraft does this better and I prefer that on World of Warcraft
I eventually reach a conclusion where I go. Well World of Warcraft's there. I'll just fucking play that
I'll go back on that because I'm just looking to play something similar to that
So why won't I just fucking play that and I think it will be like that for a very long time if I'm honest until
The game finally rest. That's gonna be forever. They'll keep me open it the amount of money they make off of it
They'll keep rolling. But yeah, that was that that's my little assessment on Final Fantasy. My opinion can change next week
Well, could we could be sitting in it this time next week and I'll go it's fucking incredible
I thought no man's sky was shit when I first played it now. It's one of my favorite games
So I'm open to have my mind changed
But for now I just don't like the idea of having to put in so much time and effort
To get that reward out of it. I want to be rewarded sort of from the get-go for playing it that makes sense
It makes complete sense
How would you feel or how do you feel about the price of petrol?
I
Used to hate it. I have a work van now
So it cost me nothing but I can understand that yeah
Well coming from someone who did have a massive fuel bill, I hate the fucking price of petrol
How do you feel about the cost of products going up? Yes annoying you see how expensive Lerpac is other butters are
I'm not paying
Seven eight quid for some butter. It's mental and cheese. I love cheese
It's now like fucking seven quid for a block of Cathedral City other cheeses
Yeah, no, I don't like it so well
That's a shame because PlayStation prices have gone up by 30 pound in the UK
Yeah, 480 quid for the disc version 390 for the disc look what they've done that for
You know funny and that what they've done that for no fucker can get hold of one still anyway
So I do with a global economic crisis. Yeah
Yeah, but what?
What's made it that extra 30 though? I don't know of all the numbers to pluck out of any of those
So if you're if you're Microsoft if you're Xbox right now, yeah, what do you do?
Do you sit there and go you silly billies? We're gonna we're gonna sit where we are or
Do you go one step further and go I see you and we're gonna drop our price by 20 30 quid
Don't think it matters. No, I don't think it matters because
Again, I won't bother because I know what they were what what it will be
I guarantee now I can go on Amazon and there will be an Xbox there that I can buy straight away and have it delivered to me tomorrow
He's gonna have a look
so I think the
Sort of ties in with how you were thinking about about that gun on destiny
You want that because no other fucker has it in your mind
No one's got a ps5 because you can't get hold of one
So when they become available people are gonna want one of them over an Xbox because they can't get hold of one. So
People will pay the extra 30 quid, but I think there's always gonna be
and divide and people
Well, they don't care about the Xbox so the Xbox is available you can get it by the 3rd of October
PlayStation 5 obviously haven't looked for a long time. I purchased mine on the 17th of September in 2020. It says here
Available by invitation
There's a little button. Yeah, it's a high demand item with limited quantities. We won't be able to grant all requests
But you can request the invitation. So I guess once they've accepted that then you can buy it
So that's mental. So now it's rolled on like a steam deck till you have to be invited to buy one
That's how in demand they are what blows my mind and I was thinking about this over this morning yesterday
I can't remember my memory shit sue me
But the PlayStation 5 as I've just seen there came out in 2020
Yeah, I've had it since launch day or the day after because my delivery got messed up
But whatever yeah, I
How many games are coming out that's or have come out that are just for PS 5 fuck all it's crazy
So in the next console generation when the PS 5 or PS 6 inevitably comes out
They really a much point in jumping and and trying your hardest to get I yeah
I mean I got I stupidly had it on pre-order and canceled it for whatever reason. Yeah, Wally
But when I when I finally got the PS 5 I got it
a couple of weeks after it released
The the hype around it was just that it was just hot because you're right
There was nothing there was no benefit to having a PS 5 at the at the at time of release
apart from maybe cyberpunk running better maybe you know, I mean or spider-man
But there wasn't there wasn't anything for it to warrant getting it. So dark souls
Demon souls remaster. Yeah, but again, it's not
It's not a um, only speaks to certain people. Yeah. Yeah people people
You're gonna get a PS 5 anyway, if you want one your chances are you're gonna end up with one
But people were going mental to get hold of one when it first released as as did I but they didn't
If you didn't have one you weren't missing out
I was more annoyed of fact that doesn't have fucking themes on it
Why why is it? Why do they get rid of themes on the PS 5 that's annoying, but it it
There there was a lot of people who were like
There there was nothing for it. And yeah, I agree with you two years on and this I'm trying to think there's still nothing
It's five game that you can only get on PS 5 that I've gone. Wow horizon
Is that that's only is that any no, that's piss for as well
Is it what forbidden west is me both and same like I say God of War still piss for yeah
you're just thinking well if I if I didn't get a PS 5 and I got God of War on ps4 or
Horizon on ps4 or whatever other game the beer
Nine times out of ten when I get a ps5 I can play on the ps5 or there's a small upgrade
Yeah, yeah, so you're not you're not losing out by not having a piss five because the same game works and it will just be better
No, yeah, you can still but I'm saying the if it's not it's not a case of our shit
There's all this stuff that you can only have on I know I'm agreeing with you
I'm saying you could just plod along with ps4 and still get all the games
There's no wowing ps5 games off the top of my head that you can only get and be like, oh, I wish I had a PlayStation 5
because
Metal gives solids out or so and there is nothing but they have
Officially stopped producing the ps4. Yeah, but so when are they gonna start just focusing on ps5 because
Maybe maybe from when they start said that they were gonna they let the ps4 essentially die out
but
Maybe they're running with the with the idea of we're not gonna put as much effort now into getting all these ps5
exclusives out until
More people have a ps5 than they do a ps4. So what is it? Yes, it's two years
November, right? Yeah, I think so. So two years
How fuck off there's no it's normally like a six-year lifecycle between the consoles around about that. Yeah. Yeah
So this time next year
We'll be halfway through a generic lifecycle. Yeah, and how many games ps5 only are we gonna have?
well, so it just makes me wonder what is the point I
reckon
maybe
Sony is a company or somewhat
Not scared but cautious of if you suddenly because it is so difficult to get hold of a ps5
And the majority of people will still have a ps4
maybe
Suddenly switch into just releasing ps5 games will cut off quite a big portion of your market
Therefore your money. No, I completely agree and I'm fully for them making ps4 versions
But you are or they are hindering their own development
Because there's something there will be a game that should be ps5 only I got a war
Well, I'm happy it's coming out for people that have only got a ps4
Yeah, but at the same point if you just done that on ps5
What sort of game are we looking at then?
Compared to what it's gonna be on ps4
It could be
Phenomenal it could be so much better than what it probably already be I got a list of the ps5
Exclusive hit me and I'll hit you with my thoughts. I got a list and there's only 14 of them. I think all right
Well, I'll give right ghost wire Tokyo haven't played that. No, that's it. That's a rip for me
Not interested Gran Turismo 7 not interested in racing game. Right Marvel's spider-man miles Morales
No, I quite enjoyed that didn't mind that you got demon souls. No as much as I love I'm a souls vet
I haven't played it some of these games aren't actually out for spoken isn't actually out not out yet, but that does look good
Ratchet and Clank rift apart. Very good. Yeah
My daughter loves it. Yeah, but very good nearly platinum did
Astro's playroom fuck off built in that's Alex the kid for ps5
Returnal. Yeah, I like that. I like that's a good game. But once again that came out ages ago. It says horizon
Forbidden West is the ps5 exclusive
Maybe it is a piece of it's definitely not it's 100% out 100% I can Google it right now
Why does it say that it's a literally says it's a ps5 exclusive
horizon forbidden west and
You can go ps4. Yeah, and then you can go. Oh, no
yeah, this list is a bit if he because he's got God of War Ragnarok on it and God of War and
Starfield
Is why has it got starfield on it? What's going on? This is a shitty list. I'm on probably gonna
Get starfield on Xbox by the way, just because Bethesda our own by Xbox. I think if there's any goodies to come
Although I was gonna get starfield on Xbox anyway, was I I don't know. Yeah, that's why you that's literally why you
Spent a long week come on now. Yeah, I forgot it don't even come out piss for so I don't know why I'm saying that
But it's cuz you just said it's on that list to confuse me. I'm sorry. No, this is a bullshit list
I found a decent list though
Destruction all-stars. Yeah, just like that was like it was like a free game
Yeah, just in PlayStation Plus or something. It was it was yeah, you got return all Final Fantasy 7 remake
Yeah
Nothing
Yeah, that that's pretty much it. Yes. So don't get me wrong. I'm all for the ps5 is very pretty everything runs great
I love it and I'd rather have one than not but was it worth
Obviously, it's a good stress to have but was it worth the stress of trying to get one and get one for your pals for
For what arguably better looking ps4 games I am
More than happy that I've made that I managed to get one because of how much I never thought two years on it would be still
An absolute fucker to get hold of one having to have an invitation to buy one. That's mental two years on
Obviously, it's done very very well. I don't have I don't know the number of how many many it's sold
I think it has sold more than
Xbox has of their console. Yeah, I think Xbox are gonna be gaining on them now
Yeah, because it's more readily available because you can just get a pass man game passes a game change of Sony people
Yeah, and Starfield come in and yeah Sony you're a bit behind on that
I flicked through their their version of the game pass and stuff and it seems a bit shit once got awards here and been and gone
Yeah, and what we're looking at because they've just dropped horizon as well. Well, you got you got the Hogwarts legacy
I think that will be quite big. Is that is that exclusive is it? Yeah, and then you got you've got a
Obviously for spoken that looks very good. That does look decent
There are this is the thing games like that can come out of left field and be like the new ghosts
Yeah, there's decent games that are coming but you just got the the weight is long
Yeah, what I'm finding is that I'm turning on my ps5 less and less because there's just nothing knocking around
It's just ps4 games. I'm going on the PlayStation store looking at ps4 games very quick. They're getting sued didn't they?
I see this yeah
We're getting our money's back. It'll be worth a lot
Skins back FIFA points fortnight bucks and cod points
I'm gonna be rolling because they were inflating the prices on their store and we all fucking knew it because
Everyone looked at the prices on that store and went what the fuck why they are much more expensive
These are these lawsuits very very and they very rarely win
I think I think they'll win but it will from what I've heard and read it will take literal years for you to see
Anything from it if at all you're gonna see anything from it and it's gonna be a long process
We're like, oh are you entitled to this? Why will you write down every single thing you bought in ten years? Well, I
Know yeah, if you've ever tried to return a game that you've bought from the PlayStation store
You know that they're an absolute bastard to get anything done you buy a game from the PlayStation store
Sometimes it can in the settings it can be set to automatically start downloading
If you've already started or finished downloading a game you bought from the PlayStation store, you cannot return it
It's mental
Bloody mental that's ridiculous. This isn't on the list by the way, but it's just it's just popped in my head
Battlefield 2042. Yeah is just dropped season two
All right, but that long if everyone's going nuts for it now
It's gone. It's flipped. It's done a no-man's-cry. They've done decent with it. They've done decent with it. It's come back
Yeah, and obviously with buying
The most expensive edition we could get hold of probably got I think we got the first five seasons or something four seasons for free
Four seasons for free. Yeah, I've already missed out on the first one. Yeah, because it was wank, but apparently
It's looking pretty good. So we're wanting to give battlefield and I think I'll be looking to giving back
I love I love battlefield man. It's got a special place in my heart. I think it's a fantastic game
So that is a game that I'm more than happy to give another crack, but we loved it when it released as well
We still loved it. Just got very stale very quick. Yeah, and the bugs become more and more apparent and it'd be like
Oh, yeah, you're about to join a game. I'll know you're back in the lobby. Oh, yeah
That was so frustrating and you were stuck to one map. Yeah, he's playing that snow level seven times in a row
Or the one with the skyscrapers
That one that fucking yeah, let's put let's put the capture points on top of the skyscrapers and let them and let them drive hovercraft
Yeah up the side. Yeah up the skyscrapers. Yeah, yeah, you can drop tanks on there as well
I will happily jump back on that because I thought it was so the ideas there were fantastic
Especially with the different classes like the one that you could you could the wingsuit. They've changed it. You can't win so anymore
Well, yeah, you can but they've changed it. So one of the big problems with battlefield and people's opinions. I agree
Uh was that the operators they're going down apex road. So they want to sell characters. Yeah, they've changed it now
So the operator they said the operators are not going anywhere, but they've changed the operators into classes now
So you've got attack specialist engineer
Uh, I can't remember about medic and their abilities are in them classes so to speak
Right, I see. So you so you wouldn't you wouldn't be able to be let's say have the wingsuit and then run around with
An lmg exactly. Yeah, that's that's what I gather from it. But without playing it, which ain't bad
Which ain't bad to be fair and they've also changed the dialogue for the or they're changing the dialogue for the people and they're making
They're saying the same not just that because it battlefield supposed to be like quite grounded and they're making it like comedic like oh
What a good game we had. Yeah, they want it to be like more gritty. Yeah, it's not cod. They've changed. Yeah, they've changed their
Uh faces and I will download it again. So like it'll probably be rendered by next friday because I think that's massive to download
You said you was getting the oh you haven't got disney in there yet
But the disney sorry, I really mumbled that you haven't got decent. No, I need to sort that but I think I might be getting some
power
We love it. We're massive off topic because it was supposed to be about playstation price
Increased by 30 pound mental amount of money
Um, I think it's bullshit with the way that everything's going up at the moment of all the companies that are in serious profit
Sony is one of them doesn't need to bump up the fucking price of a playstation
That's your fault for not being able to get it out to your consumers
As as as well as xbox have so don't punish the consumer by bumping it up 30 quid
You should have dealt with it better
You had all the time in the world to do that, especially while people are struggling as it is
Don't make them pay an extra 30 quid for something. They don't fucking need let's go back to battlefield. Yes, please
I've just got an article up. It's just appeared actually
Battlefield this comes from eurogamer.net. I've never not read
Not a job. No, no pop up what you never heard of them. I've never read this article
So I don't know how long it is. Oh skim for it. I'm a good reader battlefield 2042 season two is a return to form
Love it new season kicks off next week. Fantastic
More than two months on from the release of battlefield 2042 season one, which was generally well received
Games next well season one was was it? Yeah season one obviously there was we didn't have a season one
We were just playing season one came out a couple of months ago, didn't it?
With the new map. I remember I was talking about it. Yeah, so yeah, genuinely well received the games next season finally kicks off
at the end of this month on 30th of august
The content drop is familiar, too
With season two containing just one new map a new specialist a couple of new vehicles and some new weapons despite the snail's pace
In which diocese you can't argue with that in which diocese moving to improve the game since its disastrous launch last year
New content looks promising and most importantly
It feels up to the standard we used to expect from dice of yesteryear
The new map stranded is even smaller than the already small exposure that dropped through season one. Good. Good good good maps are too big
That's a good thing
The biggest complaints about the launch map stemmed from the fact that they were far too big
Large scale was intended to accommodate the 128 player lobbies new to battlefield 2042
The problem is that we take an ungodly amount of time to move from objective to objective
Whilst the sheer size of the maps meant that dice encountered hardware limitations
Yes, even on the new gen consoles when trying to fill the map with cover or even simple surface details as a result
The maps felt barren and empty
Stranded is the complete opposite almost feels like an admission that dice overstepped the mark with the gigantic maps
In an early hands-on session for euro gamer
I enjoyed the fact that stranded felt very infantry focused with tight choke points and plenty of cover
But what particularly struck me was just how gorgeous the map looked thanks to its smaller size
Dice has been able to concentrate on adding surface details forna and grass all over the map
It felt more like a battlefield map from previous games and one which shows just how technically capable the frostbite engine can be
There's still one elephant in the room
the lack of destruction
It's a signature element of the battlefield franchise. That's still missing
This was raised with dice in a subsequent q and a session but was left unanswered
If I had to speculate, I guess the game's pesky instance count
Is again limiting how much dice is able to add to the map the new specialist charlie crawford
Is a stereotypical british geezer
Stereotypical british geezer that appears to be inspired by jason stapham fucking old
As a support specialist crawford can revive teammates faster whilst replenishing their ammo crawford signature gear of the vulcan is a mountable
Minigun with a ballistic shield what could possibly go wrong? Hey
That's me
The vulcan is perfect for defending a position and providing cover fire to balance it out
The minigun has a limited angle of rotation making it easier to up to opponents making it easier to opponents
That's a typo. That's not me
To flank and take out the operator it can also be taken out with one or two
Well aimed rockets onto vehicles season two comes with two four. Do you want me to continue this or you're giving up?
I've given up. All right, uh, it's got a couple of vehicles
three new weapons am 40
Pf 51 it sounds good is what it sounds like that sounds interesting
Despite my positive business was to come back for 24 two is in dire need of more content at the current pace the game won't feel
Complete until the end of the year one updates as to whether there will be a year two is the nea's grand vision of life
Service games. I have my doubts right. So we're not going to play it until year two then um
That was from isharak saban
Thanks for the article. I had to skip over it because we just got bored. That's not your fault
That's just battlefield and what it's done to us
It's just a long article
But yeah, I I mean i'm more willing to test it out and see what see what the crack is
Because I haven't even haven't even tested out season one stuff. No, so they haven't even touched it
There's loads of stuff in there to look
Anyway, but yeah that being ea
And and by the way, yeah fuck the 30 pound increase for playstation
but
ea being the creators of battlefield
moves us nicely
onto the rumors that amazon are acquiring them
I find that strange. It is a strange one. I do find that very strange because why
Of all of the companies to try and buy ea
Would it not have been
sony
Or fucking microsoft
Can they afford them? I mean we're probably talking like 30 to 40 billion
I feel like they could afford that
I feel like they could do that
But why the fuck's amazon running into that?
Well, let's say fifa. This is the last ever fifa, right? Oh, thank god for that. Well, it's not though
Is it they're just changing the name? Yeah, but we've changed the name. It's not just changing the name
They're not going to be licensed by fifa anymore
Now licenses cost a lot of money. That's why pro evolution soccer. So they won't have names. I don't know
This is what i'm saying. I haven't read that but my assumption would be
They're probably going to lose a lot of licenses
These licenses cost a lot of money. There's a lot of football clubs. There's a lot of rights the players
All sorts of stuff. So
The future 3a and its money cow of ultimate team. Who knows where that's going to go if you're if if fifa's continuing
Saps like me will continue to buy it and spend money on fifa ultimate team then yes
It's an investment worth investing in because you will get your money back tenfold
Um
But yeah the we've
That's their big hitter and ea fifa madden. Maybe they do. Yeah
But what does ea have to offer to amazon because i know amazon are trying to try and very hard to branch into the gaming world
Exactly that because they've got partnership with blizzard as well
In terms of um little cosmetics and stuff that you originally had to had to pay for
Um, because it caused quite a big stir because the people who had in fact paid for these cosmetics were then getting pissed off
Because people like myself who didn't pay for them
Could now get them for free because we just had an amazon prime account and it's like
30 40 quids worth of free stuff that we've just been given
So they are trying to get in. Oh, well look at new world. I know it's obviously
Flopped down now, but that was massive when it first come out
Too buggy. It didn't didn't didn't live for very long, but they are trying. I just think it's a very expensive
Well as amazon it does face it. They've got fucking endless amounts of cash, but then you're you're using ea, right?
So we're talking fifa obviously the big one. Yeah, i've obviously got no numerous other sports titles
Now another big one for them right now is star wars. Yeah
Yep, and they've got the second
Jedi survivor, I think the first one called jedi fallen order massive hit for ea. They don't do single player games
This is that was a big hit. It's a fantastic game. It still annoys me. They haven't played even oh, this is really pretty
Anyway, what's that? There's a bird maybe but just
What was it was talking about last episode about the remake
And that they it flopped because the studio everyone got sacked and blah blah blah blah blah and they might not have the money to do it
Are they also run by ea? No, they're completely no no no. Yeah, that's that's nothing to do with ea
Yeah, just doing uh, I thought that might be a nice little tie off to say well, you never know
They might try and buy it buy the rights. Who knows
But it would be it would be smart if they could because they've got they've got the amazon would have the money to do that
And it not matter koto. It hurts. Yeah, but they would have the money to do that. And if it didn't work, they go. Oh fuck it
That don't matter
Bargain bucket and we'll just pull something else out. We've got loads of dough can't play with people's emotions like that
Yeah, but it's amazon. They don't give a fuck. Anyway, ea started out
Star wars is i think ea also have like a huge chunk of the license for star wars because of
Battlefront as well. Yeah
Now battlefront too. It started off badly
Um too much monetization. It just nose dive. That's ea
Ah, exactly. And then they they they backtracked on that and made a lot of it
Well, it took the loot boxes out. Well, it's fucking just gambling
Yeah, the loot boxes out and made everything
Accessible through just playing the game, which obviously it should have been from the get-go. Yep
Um, because I don't think people mind if I want a new anakin skin or you can buy that but don't make it
So you can't buy anakin. Yeah, which is what the problem was
So and they stopped. Um, they continue to support for a little while and then they stopped and that's very sad for star wars fan like me
They basically said they're not going to do battlefront free because they're focusing on because it's dice. They're focusing on battlefront
Yeah, that's their main one
So they basically said no battlefront free if amazon purchased them
I would like to think battlefront free because the the player base for that on pc is still huge
I can still find games easily on the playstation. Yeah, yeah easy. Yeah still yeah still big. Um, but it will be
Because it's good. Yeah, it was star wars, isn't it? Yeah, so i'm not being funny. It's star wars. You got you got a massive ip there
I don't know how long the licenses last. I know there was rumors that ea said
To do battlefront free is just too expensive. Yeah, it's too expensive
To do battlefront free is just too expensive because of all the different licenses that you need and bloody bloody blah amazon
Can just go yeah, we'll have that. Yeah, we'll absorb that. That's fine
Let me let me just open up the wallet you make a proper star wars game. You are you are minted. You're in it
It's going you will never not make money if you could if you could make battlefront three
As i've just said and make all the content accessible but unlock skins i.e call of duty fortnight
You do skins not weapons not characters. You can unlock skins with money
People will buy that and you're doing fine if you're locking characters behind paywalls unless it's like expansion packs
That's different if you'll just lock in characters behind paywalls. That's when people are like no
No, I don't want to do that because that's egregious
Yeah, so if they can make it so they could like call of duty if they can just unlock skins
Through the store they will always make money and they'll have a very successful game
I don't know some of these people I think I don't understand their business minds on
I'm not a business-minded person, but that seems like very simple business. Yeah, because I am happy
I like you like many of my friends. Oh
What this cool skin that's you know, looks like the joker i'll spend 20 on that
Yeah, because I like it. Yeah, would I buy that if I had to buy that character?
Probably still would but the point of the matter is it's egregious isn't it?
You'll get more people buy it because they like the idea of it because
That they want it rather than have to that's what makes people annoyed and makes people not want to do it
It seems simple business to me, but look at
Look at the lord of the rings series that's coming out the amount of money they've thrown into that
Because one because they've got the money and two because they know the fan base of lord of the rings and myself included
Fucking heavily. We'll lap it up. We will love it and they'll make some serious dough out of it
They aren't stupid. They know that something with a massive fan base if they make something decent with it. That's it. They're set
so they would be stupid to not pick up something along the lines of star wars and work out to do to just
do something with it because
that is in my opinion when it comes to gaming a
A market that that hasn't has barely been fucking touched
You know what I mean?
That's a yogurt and someone's just taking the lid off and lick the fucking lid that haven't even put the spoon in the yogurt yet
great analogy, you know what I mean? Like it's it's something that you can make so much money out of and I think
when it when you're
Obviously ea is massive and have loads of money, but they don't have as much money as amazon do
So they're not prepared to take the risks. Whereas a massive company like amazon
Probably don't give a fuck because they know if they lose money will they'll make it back in a week
It's not a problem. You know what I mean, sir
It's exciting. It is exciting. I'm intrigued to see exactly what they do
I think they could be a serious powerhouse in the gaming world just because of the sheer amount of cash they have available
They can just fucking pay to win if they can acquire a studio of ea's stature like nothing of opinions
Yeah of ea themselves and they could obviously the the licenses that they hold currently they could really that's just that's that's like
Skipping the line. Yeah, instead of being like, oh, let's create this studio. Let's do it. Well, let's just buy ea
Yeah, let's just have them. Let's just have them because we can because they've not really got a great reputation
If we turn that reputation around it'd be like, oh my god amazon a genius
But you'll probably find that that microsoft and sony they probably were thinking because this is what's going on at the moment
Big whales
Are just buying all the studios. It's a war going on with studios people are just trying to buy up the biggest ones that they can
and
Yeah, I think amazon have just looked at and gone well, we want to really dislike that by the way
I really dislike that. I think all I know this is a common argument
I think all games should if possible be on all consoles the consoles themselves should have separate features
Which make them agreed because I I love playstation and I also really enjoy xbox now
So it wouldn't really fuss me too much which one I bought but I don't like the fact that I had to buy an xbox
Just to play stuff and I have to justify that to my wife. I'm gonna spend
450 quid on an xbox to play one game. Are you nuts?
That's like me buying a telly because I want to watch stranger things
But that's why they cross players were coming so much bigger and so much better going back to no man's sky
I can't believe how incredible the cross play is on that because it is incredible
You can be playing on an xbox. I can be on the playstation connor can be on the pc
We can all play together and we can all talk to each other and it's so streamlined
It's pretty smooth to be fair and it's that that that cross play is just getting better and better and better
And it would be lovely where it got to a point where there would be no there's like xbox and playstation and things like that
but it's never going to do that because
It's it's already set the the the building is there
Why would they bother doing it when you can just do cross play?
Because then at that point it doesn't matter does it cross play the only reason cross play even exists
is because of
Yes, you don't know do you no fortnight
It's the only reason cross play exists. No, it's not. Yes. It is cross play was never a thing until
fortnight surely not all right google it
No, all right. Let me do it. I'll do it now. That's lies. What made cross play in consoles?
According to wikipedia prior to 2006 hardware consoles typically lacked built-in internet connections often requiring special hardware to be able to connect to the internet
Oh, well, that's not ideal. Let me let me tailor the question to other ai interfaces are available. Did fortnight set up cross play?
According to digserto the good news is that fortnight does support cross platform play now. This isn't getting us anywhere
That's just telling you that it does i'll believe you i'll choose to believe you trust me
um
Carry on talking because a lot of things do cross play dead by daylight. I turn it off because pc
Uh players on dead by daylight are fucking toxic. I hate you. I hate you all and you have an upper hand on everything
It's not fair
But cross play is very good. And I think that's the that's the main reason why why bother
um cutting down the faction of
xbox and playstation when you could just have the games as cross play because then that solves the issue
Fortnight was the first game to support cross play across xbox and playstation
So everything else would have been uh, would have been that and pc so like playstation and pc xbox and pc not
xbox and playstation
They started I know they started so all the things to pave the way. It's that shitty little fucking game
It's not shit it rolls with the times the thing is about fortnight
It made waves and it still does and and we have them to thank for being able to play
About I just don't like the fact that they copy everything. All right. Well, that's the best form of flattery. Is it not?
No
But they don't copy everything do they I don't see any other battle royals running around with the the licenses and skins
They've got is insane. Have you seen I don't even like dragon ball z. I want to buy dragon ball z skin because it looks so good
Yeah, no, yeah
They've done well
But they've done well off of just piggybacking off of everyone and now they finally made themselves into something
But let's not deny all they are or all they were
Because it's probably changed now
So i'll be wrong saying all they are but all they were was a game that copied every other fucker around them
But now that's the battle royale thing. They all copy everyone. So it's it's it is what it is
This is leng dogs opinion. Not mine. I just don't like fortnight
I think it's because majority of people that play it are children and I find them fucking annoying simple as that
It it irks me once again leng dogs opinion. Not mine. They are annoying
You're annoying playing with children on on games is fucking annoying. It annoys me when I play with you on games
It doesn't matter. Yes, but yes
But we're adult enough that you can sit there and swear at me whereas a little kid little six-year-old timmy
I can't tell him to fuck off and have a go at him. It's annoying. Just turn your mic off. Don't listen to him
I shouldn't have to
anyway
Unbelievable, you're supposed to be a grown man. It doesn't matter. They're annoying. You're annoying. Anyway, that is
Is well, yeah go on amazon buy a make loads of star wars stuff. That's basically all i'm saying
Yeah, please buy a just so you can make loads of star wars stuff
That's that's the only ask I have for you. I don't care what you do with anything else pot fifa. Don't break that moving on
Uh a bit different from games
last of us series
Did you see the new trailer?
Nope
Haven't bothered looking at anyway the new trailer pad
Papa
Pedro pascal. Mm-hmm. He is
Bang on for joe. He's he's perfect. Yeah, they nailed it
Absolutely nailed it. That's all i'm saying. I thought you might have seen it obviously not
Um, yeah, i'm excited for that
I have so much faith in this that I don't feel the need to watch anything because i'm already as hyped as i'm ever
Going to get about it. Yeah, but sometimes he's just like, oh no
I want you're hyped for lord of the rings, but you're gasping down and guzzling down every trailer
I only because it pops up
The last of us stuff for some reason doesn't pop up for me, but i'm
That's like that asmr and is that what it's called he's rubbing his is that asmr on
No, because it sounds horrible. What what has happened?
First couple of episodes we were really anal about making background noise or anything
There was a geezer
Fucking upstairs putting a bar from him and we were getting annoyed because he had a drill going and I thought oh fucking hell
It's going to ruin the podcast. He's sitting there
Tapping every fucking thing he can and now he's rubbing the beard the the fuck off rubbing the mic in his beard
It's mental. Is it asmr? Yes. It is. Yes it is. Oh, doesn't it? Yeah, but it doesn't sound good. Does it?
I don't know. It's like they sit there and they they
Fuck they fucking whisper and tap into the mic every now and then it pops up on tiktok don't it?
It would be just i don't know i'm not on tiktok. There'll be someone sitting in a bikini just tapping on a mic
Obviously, obviously literally that's all it is and then people are just sending them money
It's crazy business model. It's exactly what they do
It's no different to the people on twitch where they sit there in a hot tub in a bikini because they know that poor unfortunate souls
Will sit there and go
boobs
Is that what you're talking about?
It's a tenner
Yeah, what are we on about?
What last of us yeah that yeah good stuff moving on from last of us very good stuff house of dragons first episode
Loved it. Well, let's review it. I
I watched it with stef. Um
On the big telly
And how big is big 75 inches fucking else bells. Jesus. It's broken though
What's the tv's broken? It's got lines in it
No, it the screen has stopped working. You have to keep turning it on and off again. So we're taking it back
What is it? Yeah
Uh three years. It's under warranty. It's getting sorted. It's fine
75 inches
It was sold to us as 80
But it's 75 so we've been stiffed five inches and and and five inches. Sorry ash five inches is very big
How much was this telly
I don't know. It's not mine. I didn't pay for it. Did I um, I think I think it was over a grand
I should bloody hope so it was big. I paid like six seven hundred for mine. It's 55
But it's in a big room. So it suits the room. It's 75 inches. Of course. It needs to be in a fucking big room
Yeah, but it suits the room. That's what i'm saying. It doesn't look ridiculous
If I put I don't care how it looks if it's 75 inches it can go in the bathroom if it fits
You can see it through the window when you leave
That's crazy, but we watched it and for the first
10 15 minutes, I don't know if you'll be the same. I sat there and thought this is shit
No, but I just thought of something
Yeah, right. Uh, I used to have a friend called oliver
Okay, all right
But his nickname was fart in the bath
Uh, you get it you get it. Oh
It sounds like a fart in the bath, isn't it? That's why he's called fart in the bath there. It's cracking
A little bit
I love that. Yeah, that's fantastic. I get it. I understand
I've been i've got a snapchat of me farting in the bath. Yeah, I bet it sounds like oliver
Yeah, i'll have to dig it out and have a listen. Anyway, I I was thinking for the first 10 15 minutes
This is a bit boring. It's taken a while to set the scene here and then blood and guts happened
I watched a man's face get caved in by an axe and then you saw his face after the axe had entered
It was good. There was a lot of a lot of blood and guts. It was very enjoyable. I loved it mom. Thank you
We'll rate it. What's your rating?
Nine out of ten. Do we do that here? No, it's a it's an a plus
It's an a plus so far. I'm
Correct me if i'm wrong
Because connor said it was every sunday an episode comes out. Is it sunday or friday?
Because I thought if you had sky atlantic you got it early. It's definitely not friday
Do you mean monday sunday or monday? I watched it on a friday
Or did you watch it monday like I did?
No, because I didn't have work the next day
Well, it literally came out monday
I told you oh going phones on tonight. I watched it the friday
So it come out on the monday and I watched it on the friday. What fuck you. No, did I you watched it?
The same day as me. What's going on everybody?
Did I watch it on a friday? No, it wasn't out on a friday monday monday. Yeah, why didn't you go to work tuesday?
I did go to work
What am I doing? I don't know give you a little wobble
Anyway, did you like it? I did like it. Um
I it you know what it took me a very long time to work out who I was
Um the guy that sits next to the king
I thought I recognize you and then I realized his eyeball pole
Hilarious twat that guy
Do you know who eyeball pole is? I think I do yeah, kevin and perry go large puts vodka in his eye. Yes
Twat that's what he is isn't he? Yeah, that's what eyeball pole is Otto. Yeah, I can work out he looks different with my beard
Yeah
Yeah, I I I liked it the
The bad thing why I wouldn't give it an s I would I would also go a maybe not a plus but a plus
A plus but a is because it it needs more time to build up the characters get get a feel for them who they are
There's a lot of confusion. They throw a lot of information at you. I don't know who's who like i'm hearing baratheons
I heard someone say robert baratheon. I thought well, that's not right
Um, because he's in game of thrones, but he must be a descendant of bloody bloody bloody
But once you once you build up a connection to the characters and they start killing them off
That's when it starts going. Oh, no, I don't want this person to die
I'll always remember game of thrones watching it with my wife certain episode. I won't go into spoilers
No spoil it. All right, fuck him. Everyone dies. Jamie Lannister. There's an episode where him and bron or brin or what's his name?
Bron his mate bron brin bron
pretty sure it's bron
Bron
Him and his mate bron are running around and it looks like one of them is gonna die
and I
Didn't want Jamie Lannister to die and my wife was like fuck him
Yeah, what the mr incest?
We are no but he had a he had a redemption arc where he was like looking he was saving the uh, brion of tar
Mr. Goldhand. Yeah, um, so he had a bit of redemption arc in the end
Everyone started liking him, but I didn't want him to die
I thought he was a cool character and jim was like no fuck him. Let him die
Keep bron alive and I was like I don't want bron to die either
Well, I want Jamie to live so we both had two different characters who wanted to live
I couldn't think of any other show that's never had like such a polarizing thing where it's like
Oh, no, he's definitely bad bad. He needs to die and we wouldn't agree. Whereas this is like, oh no
She wants him to live. I want him to live. I thought that was very cool
Um when game when house of dragons starts doing that
Uh, that's when it will really really pick up what's interesting to me is
I had this conversation with a pal
Not that he's much of a conversation. He's a bit of a dick
um
Are they gonna go down the marvel road with this?
Are we gonna see?
One series of house of dragons and then we're going on to
No, are we gonna move on to the start? Get away from the the
over
Complicated storylines of all that shit doesn't need it
This type of thing doesn't need it do do these series stick with this storyline and then just leave it after that
But we won't though
If there's more stories to be told I want to hear them
But what i'm saying is if they if they do all right 10 seasons of this are they then going to move on to
The stuff yes, but marvel goes crazy with it. You could have a you could have a scene
With a postman in the background a hundred foot away putting a parcel on a doorstep
They're gonna want fucking 10 seasons on him
Because they want they want everyone's backstory on fucking everything. It's so pointless. It's so fucking annoying. Fuck them
I don't like marvel anyway, fuck it
Well, it upsets me with how much sounds like you probably how much shit that it's just oh just give it a rest man
Just give it a rest. All right. Well, my review is a I enjoyed it very much. I didn't like the uh
The caesarian I was not a fan of that. Oh, that was a bit nutty
Wouldn't look at that. I had to put a pillow over my face. Jim had to tell me what was done because I can't look at stuff
that's dark stay
I think I don't think steff was happy with me because
Naturally this woman was screaming. There's no anesthetic. She was screaming having her stomach ripped out
I just sat there went what's she making all the noise for?
What's she screaming for yeah you you
You'd scream if you stubbed your toe. Yeah, it looked
Extremely painful and you what makes it worse is that you know that type of shit happened
Yeah, of course it is. It's probably on the same level as treading on lego
I think having your stomach ripped open to get the baby out might be slightly more advanced than stepping on lego
No, I disagree. They the thing is you can't compare because they never trod on lego
Yeah, they didn't have lego. So they they might have had mega blocks
The only way is if someone cuts my stomach open
And I tread on lego at the same time go. Oh, yeah, the lego hurts. Yeah, the lego is a bit more. Yeah
Oh, no, stop that cutting. That's a bit sore actually
That's the only way it depends entirely on the tools at hand
So what sort of blade are they using what's how many squares of lego are you standing on?
It needs further investigation. Yeah, we have to do the maths. We'll do the maths and we'll get back to you on that one
Uh, don't don't cut your own belly. So yeah, we're not actually or step on lego. I mean you can do that, but it does bloody hurt
Did you yes
Did I send you the video of the people that spent 800?
on the destroyer
A ship from star wars was it something destroyer?
So disrespectful. What's it called? Star Destroyer. The Star Destroyer and they built it after it took them 16 hours
And then they dropped it from a height and filmed it being smashed up
No, I'm glad you didn't send that to me and it was it was incredible the music they stuck with it. It's not even funny
What a waste. Yeah, I think that's why they did it. Why is it so dark? What's happening?
Because it's like six o'clock. No way
It's late because kind of fucked around trying to make us make characters on dnd. Oh my god
Um, what was he talking about? Uh, oh, yeah, I'm getting a stomach cut up and yeah
It's very good. If you haven't watched it and you have that and you have the the access to be able to watch it
Then it's very good. I'm excited because I never jumped on the game of thrones hype
I jumped on it after all of it had been released
So I quite like the fact that i'm on i'm watching from day one. So when well after after
1500 seasons of it and everyone's running around with walking sticks going remember that it was so upsetting
I'll be able to take part in that. Yeah, i'm there for it
I think the answer to your question originally is I think it comes out on
Sunday in the middle of the night at like 2 a.m. I believe so obviously you won't be watching that. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes
Uh, and then you can watch it anytime obviously during the day
Monday. Yeah, so it'd be monday. It might come out sunday night
I know it comes out sunday night for americans, but we're not american. So we just have to deal with it
That's the trouble. We have to stay off social media all day because everything's just a spoiler spoiler spoiler
I don't like spoilers or things like that. Yeah
Um, but that's that that's house of dragons a for me a plus for the leng dog high on life is next
The new game from what I believe the creator of rick and morty might be making that up. It is
Looks
Phenomenally funny looks very funny medicine is the best
Form of laughter. Yeah, that's what I was going for laughter is the best form of medicine
So if I can if I if that game can make me laugh, then it deserves whatever price
Is going to pay because there's one thing that i've always found with games
Not many actually make me laugh out loud and the only one I can think of
Genuinely was uh guardians of the galaxy. I was literally about to say guardians of the galaxy because I
Other than that there's there might be the odd
But like belly laughing guardians of the galaxy have me all the time drax and rocket
So this game looks I showed risa
A little clip of saw of high of life on the game awards. I believe it was and it's just it just looks bloody hilarious
It looks fantastic. Everything talks. Yeah, the the clip that I showed me was a knife
Begging to be picked up and thrusted into people's stomachs and
Faces and and yeah, it's basically like having an orgasm when you pick it up and he starts stabbing people with it
And he's like yes more more. It's just silly. Let me take his guts out like it
It the only bit i'm skeptical about is is everything we're seeing
Just to hype us up about it when it actually comes out
I've seen some hands-on previews and they're they're gassing it up saying no, this is this is the real deal
Then i'm fucking i'm all for it. I love that type of shit. I think I think it's it's it's been a long time since we had a game where it
It really just doesn't give a fuck about about um, touchy things like that
You know what I mean? It's just silly. It's just over-the-top silliness. Yeah, and if there's one thing I am is a little bit silly
Yeah, so i'm all for just it rather than a very well-constructed joke
I'd rather tell you about fart in the bath because that makes me laugh. Yeah when people ask
To describe ash. That's the first thing they say he's silly. This man is silly
So ridiculous
So fucking stupid
I'm not silly. I am silly. I'm very silly. You silly belly
Yeah, well, that's that what we've been playing is the last thing
I'll go first whole lot of nothing played a lot of call of duty warzone
Other than that, I do believe that might be the only game i've played this week
I've played it probably two nights
Once again, the game in lol is setting in a little bit
Yeah, i'm paralyzed by choice again a little bit, but i'm really enjoying call of duty
Uh warzone looking forward to modern warfare 2 so i'm not bored of games
I'm just stuck in the warzone
whole at the moment and uh, no signs of getting out anytime soon with modern warfare 2 on the horizon, but
Upcoming god of war ragnarok will soon change. We cannot wait. We cannot wait
Did you ever get the confirmation email about your i have the confirmation email
They haven't taken the money when I spoke to mark about it because I was a little bit panicked about it
He said they don't take the money until it actually releases anyway, so it'll be fine if it doesn't release
If I don't get it
If game fuck up
I'll be knocking on the door
I'll drop everything and i'll be knocking on the door because i'll be after it 100 and whoever ends up with
My collector's edition. I'll be knocking on their door
And i'll be taking it from them
That's that very nice, but yeah, i've got the confirmation email good
What have you been playing this week a little bit of a mixed bag really?
I played a bit of hellblade senua's sacrifice. When are you gonna play mass effect man?
Stop teasing me try playing it first one very boring
Anyway, well, no no no no no you don't just you don't just say that and then scoot off into the sunset
I threw in about 45 minutes and 40. Yeah, this this is a bit boring
I can't be asked for that
At the moment and I couldn't I'll probably I will go back to it and I will play it but at the time of playing
I couldn't be bothered simple as that. Anyway, hellblade. No, i'm fuming senua's actually fuming sacrifice
Very good. Connor's played it. He's completed. It's a very short campaign six to seven hours. I'm about an hour in um, there's constant
Whispers and talking in your head and to the point where it is designed to be annoying and to frighten you and it very much does that
It's very very very good. Um, if you haven't played that it's on xbox game pass
Uh, it's good. It's good for for a little little campaign only made by 20 people. It's a small company
Um, and I can't remember the name of the company but good game. No man's sky dropped off a little bit. I won't lie
Um, I haven't overdone it. It's just that i'm looking at other other shit because I don't I for the for podcast reasons
And it is for podcast reasons. I want to play other games to have something to talk about because I don't want to just talk about no man's sky
Constantly cult of the lamb. I jumped on I promised everyone that I would have that completed by now. I don't apologies
I'm about halfway through um
All my followers decided to kick up a fuss and try and leave me so I sacrificed them simple as that
I'm starting to feel like we should make cult of the lamb like part of the podcast permanently
And every week we should do something. I had to have a little story to tell about I had a cult
It's as simple as that. I try to be nice and if people are kicking off I try to ascend them to a greater plane
And yet some of them it they weren't having it. So I could have killed them in their sleep
But I thought no everyone needs to learn a lesson here. They need to watch the murders happen
So I killed people in front of other people. It's as simple as that. Don't don't piss me off because I was a
Simple as that don't don't piss me off because I'll kill you
Remember that when you first start playing it the devil says they work for you. You don't work for them
And they weren't working for me. So I got rid of them and as simple as that and we rinse and repeat and we start again
and
Uh, my next game that I was playing was obviously final fantasy for a little bit
And I have as of yesterday updated elder scrolls online because
Not again, I want to give that another crack. Oh, and I don't think I gave it a fair crack on the pc
So i'm going to do that. I've made myself a red guard. I'm gonna make a warrior type
what
Uh, what a red card? Yeah, what class?
Uh dragon knight. No, you said something else a warrior a what war warrior a warrior. Thank you
Fuck off. What's a warrior? And I have modeled the character
off of um a big burly like samoan type person
And rock you're going for the rock. Yeah, but with but with braids maui very cool maui so
um, i'll be playing that a bit
Because stef loves elder scrolls online, but unfortunately
She only really plays it when I play it and I feel very guilty because I actually made her buy it on her computer
and
Yeah, I just feel bad and feel like we should
I should give it a chance so that she can enjoy playing it with someone and not just on her own
So it's a shame because i'd like to jump on that with you, but I can't because I don't think you can cross play
No, it's not cross play. Yes. That's sad
because we was playing it on the playstation and then I
uh stopped playing it to because we it was it was the same really because we really got into it and I just dropped off
And left left stef in the dark and I to this day. I feel very bad about it
And then obviously got it on the on the pc and was like so much better on pc platform than it is playstation
It just plays so much better. Um
So yeah said that to stef and she bought it and we played it for a little bit and then again
And we played it for a little bit and then again, I i pick and pick things up and drop them so fucking quick
So i'm trying to work my way out of that
And yeah, i'm gonna i'm gonna give it another crack
Interesting and that that's that
Well, that about does us that's a wrap for our 10th episode special 10 whole hours and the next big one is 100
You're nearly there
Yeah, yeah, what 10 of the way yeah still have fuck all the show for it. Yeah, where's our money man?
I thought we'd be rich by now
There's some podcasts that i've listened to and they've got like four episodes out and there's like 10 adverts on their fucking podcasts
I don't understand how people do it. I really don't but we'll we'll figure it out. Um
Uh, i haven't really spoken to ash much about it, but I am looking at things like patreon
We actually have a patreon, but I haven't set it up to actually receive money or do anything. It's just i've made the account
Do you know do you know listen? It's not even about the money
No, but you know how gassed i'll be when someone actually does something on patreon. They'll blow my mind the first time that ever happens
I still remember the first time anyone ever done donated to me on twitch
Because everyone kicked off make a donate but I make it I was like nah, it kept banging on
I was like, you know what if people actually want to do it. I might be able to get a computer and do proper streams
Um, and someone donated I can't remember it was either a dollar or a couple of quid or something
I was like, I almost got moved to tears. I was like, wow, someone's actually just giving you money for it
Yeah, the funny thing is I literally stopped streaming. I was sitting there saying thanks probably too much
Looked like a bit of a dick got a bit overwhelmed by it all and then uh, they reversed the transaction
Can you do that you can do that yes
I didn't even get it. I didn't even get the money. I thought this fucking idiot was pouring his heart and soul out
That is fantastic. Oh, i'm gonna start doing that. No, don't that sounds incredible
Oh, that's hilarious. So there's a tiktok account and the guy literally is tiktok account is based around him gifting
Streamers with like one view like hundreds of pounds. Yeah, but I think it's different
I mean them people tend to he could be reversing that yeah, but you'd know they'd make they'd make it
Excuse me. They'd make it apparently they were doing that and uh, I don't think it's as simple as that
I think it's more like probably isn't no no, but you can do it and I know people do it sounds funny
Yeah, well, I did see the funny side of it, but I feel like right wally for our like
Emotional I got over a dollar or whatever it was. Um, but yeah, we we are
We are thinking about the patreon more and more and ash is right
it it's not it's not for the money as many people obviously then go when it obviously is but
Not so much my time but ash's time is is more is way more valuable than mine
He doesn't get as much free time as I do
So in order for us to pump out more content there has to be a more of a reason for us to
Do it if that makes sense
Do you would you agree?
I would not say that my time is more valuable than yours at all, but he has a he he has a family
He's got children and blah blah blah. Whereas I don't so basically I give up the afternoon with my children to do this
So I don't see them normally when I get in there in bed, but it's not a sob story
It's what it is. I choose to do this. My wife supports me my children support me and i'm very happy
Um, so if you want to take this man away from his children even more you have to pay for it
It's as simple as that. Yeah, it won't be a lot of money
It won't be a lot of money. I just want pepper pig dolls couple of bags of sweets some kinder eggs
Exactly, you know what? I mean, we're not asking for much. That's probably what it'll be. We don't know what we would do maybe
I don't know. Fuck it. We won't get into it because we're just rambling on now
Yeah, we'll fuck off to the moldies. We'll be you and me but it's in the pipeline
We'll do some we'll do some streams heard some uh podcasts out in the moldies our tenth episode
And this will be the longest episode that we've done. It's a special one. I told you it's special. I told you it's special
It's good. Yeah
Enjoy that
No, i'm as I say, I still enjoy it as much as I did from the first episode
I look forward to it every week and regardless of if I know the person that's listening or if you are a random
Random person we appreciate it. We appreciate your time. It's fun
We really enjoy it and hopefully we can carry on for many years to come regardless of income
Obviously the money would be nice, but do not stress yourselves
Um, what will be will be we're just doing it for the love of games and I laugh really
Uh a bit a bit of banter on a friday and everything's kushty, isn't it?
And eventually because I know exactly how my brain works and when stef stef listens to this
She will know exactly how my brain is working at the moment
I cannot stop looking at the equipment
We need to incorporate a third person and even a fourth if you really really wanted to and once my mind is fixated on
Something like that chances are i'll end up buying it
So you never know maybe in a couple of episodes time
We might end up incorporating another person every now and then little guest features which will be exciting
Because I think that would be quite cool to bounce off of a third person 100%
I think they'll feel like it'll be nice as well because we can sit down watch them squirm like we did on our first
Yeah, that'll be really
It's uncomfortable, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, you don't like just talking. Yeah, you're talking to me, but you're talking to them too
Yeah, yeah, look how uncomfortable you are
Yeah, all these imaginary viewers and little listeners
Sorry are in the back of your mind and you have to be careful of everything that you say can't drop the c bum anymore
Can you sir because we got to do more editing if you do exactly? Yeah, that's it. I'm fucking off. Yeah, no more swearing
Um, yeah, we've enjoyed it. It's been great. Thanks very much for all your time and here's to the next 10 episodes
I guess yeah. Thanks everyone. Uro. Oh, right
