Hello!
That was a bit loud.
It's my intro.
Um, it's episode 15 of the What's the Buttons podcast.
I'm just recovering from a cold, so I might sound slightly different,
and a little bit deflated.
That's because it's been hell.
It's been horrible for the last week.
Um, with me, as always, I have the Prince Among Men.
Say hello.
Hello!
Hahaha!
He's just flicking through his phone.
Uh,
Yeah, we're gonna talk to you about some shit.
About some gaming stuff.
And some TV shows.
Loads of shit.
Hahaha!
Why is this intro sounds like fucking year 11 drama reading?
Because we're still amateurs.
We don't know what we're doing.
We've got no fucking clue.
Uh, I just quickly want to say thank you to, uh, little Jimmy and little comrade.
And congratulations on your wedding, Connor.
Um, for being Patreons, or Patreons, whatever you say.
One of those two.
For the podcast.
Giving us your hard-earned cash.
Thanks, guys.
Thank you.
You're the bestest.
If you, if you, um, if you don't know, uh, the, the, the Patreon is
patreon.com forward slash What's the Buttons podcast.
Or is it What's the Buttons?
I don't know.
You say that.
Fuck.
I can't remember.
Talk for a minute.
So yeah, thanks for that.
Um, and all you other little scrotums that we know that ain't signed up.
Come on now.
Don't be silly.
Do you know what I mean?
We put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this and a lot of money.
A lot of money.
But, um, yeah, no, thanks for that.
We will eventually sort something out where you do get more than just
our eternal gratitude for your cash.
But at the moment, eternal gratitude is going to have to do because we, um,
we don't really know where we're going with it.
But I think it, I think it's Patreon.
com forward slash What's the Buttons.
Just go on the link tree.
It'll be on there, won't it?
It's really bad.
I don't know.
It's on link tree.
I'm going.
I'm moving.
If you go on any of our social medias, then the link to the link tree will be on there.
You click the link tree and then it's got every link to patreon.com forward slash
What's the Buttons?
There we go.
So that's where you go and give us a couple of quid a month.
Some pounds.
And then, you know, we'll divvy it up at the end of the month and we might
have fall a bag of chips each.
I got Mark a job.
Money in his pocket.
Yeah.
Pension.
Holiday pay.
Overtime at a double rate.
All this type of shit.
Bank holidays off paid.
All of that.
Giza won't give us three quid.
Well, it's never been a more apt time to say fuck Mark then.
A month.
Fuck him.
Three quid a month.
And I know, and he's caught up with the pod as well.
So he'll hear this eventually.
If not, I'll play it to him in the van because I'll pick his arse.
That's another thing.
Yeah.
25 quid it cost him to get to work on the truck.
25 quid it cost him to get to work on the train.
My arse goes 30 minutes out my own way to pick him up and drop him off from his door.
Bitch.
Just does my head in.
Give us your free quid Mark, you little...
Anger.
Well, you know, it's always my pals helping out.
Jimmy's my friend as well.
Okay.
Right, we want to.
We get the boring one out of the way first, won't we?
Don't really know a lot about it.
Ash knows fuck all about it.
It's cool.
It's a game called Century Age of Ashes.
It's been out for a while on PC and Xbox, but it released the other day on PlayStation.
It's basically like War Thunder, but with dragons.
So it's like 3v3, 6v6, and you're flying around a map on dragons, killing people, dogfighting.
It's free to play.
So what that means is in a month's time, it will be dead.
And yeah, it's just a fun little game to play.
I was going to talk more about it, but I haven't played enough of it to talk more about that.
Just thought I'd throw that in the mix.
What fucking boring first section?
No, no, you do yourself a disservice, mate.
The graphics are good.
I'll give them that graphics.
Why is it because you're watching House of Dragons?
What?
Why have I played it?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's watching House of Dragons or House of the Dragon.
It doesn't fucking matter how we say it, does it really?
And I suppose through liking a lot of stuff like that, like on TikTok and shit like that, maybe dragons have made their way into the algorithm.
Because I saw this thing pop up and I was like, oh, that actually looks quite decent.
And considering it's free, I thought I'd give it a download.
And it's not bad, man.
I quite like it.
It's just one of them games where you can jump on when you want and not have to worry about it.
But it'll be one of those games where in a month it will be dead.
Have you seen, I didn't write this down because I forgot.
Okay.
A game called Grounded.
Yeah, I played it.
You played it?
Yeah.
When?
When I first got this laptop.
Okay.
Grounded.
Well, it's just released on console.
Yeah.
With like a new, like they've rebuilt the whole game basically.
Yeah.
So it's come out to like mad good reviews.
Yeah.
So yeah, I was listening to a podcast on the way around there.
I might check it out because it's on Game Pass.
So.
It's a fun game, man.
Yes.
You like shrunk down and you're in a survival game fighting bugs and stuff.
You're little.
Yeah, you're in a garden essentially.
And I played it for about I think 10 hours is what I put into it.
And you, well, it's just survival, isn't it?
You make your own.
Yeah, you make your own armor, your own bases.
There's big ass fucking spiders running around that will kill you.
Yeah, it's quite decent.
On the PC, it was a bit finicky, some of the quests and stuff.
It was a bit difficult to read the UI, but yeah, it was it was all right.
I quite liked it.
I might join you and go back onto that because I think I got downloaded.
Yeah, it's getting really good reviews and people sound like the game is a lot deeper
than you initially believe.
It's got Dungeons in it, like randomized loot.
And so they start to think, yeah, is this an RPG?
Is it a survival game?
It's like a mixture of all the best recipes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If I could.
What the fuck?
Jesus.
If I could liken it to any sort of well, I suppose.
No, I was going to say like H1Z1, but anything like that or I'm not H1Z1, Daisy or something
like that, but it's it's not that in depth, but it's just a survival game.
I mean, I'm going to drop it a follow on Twitter.
So don't forget, but I will check that out.
Obviously, that will come as and when I pull myself away from what we all know is sucked
me up and won't spit me out again.
Destiny.
I'm stuck.
I can't get help.
Don't help me.
I like it.
You like it.
You found a fire team yet?
Found a clan.
Yeah, yeah, I'm in a clan.
You found a clan.
Yeah.
No, thanks.
I just searched it up.
You just found one.
Yeah.
I mean, they're not if anything, they're quite annoying.
They're not helpful in any way, shape or form.
So what's the point then?
Well, I had one the other day.
I was trying to I was just going about doing my business and then come up saying such and
such as join your fire team.
I was like, why who are you?
Yeah, looked in the clan.
I was always from there.
Then another one joined.
I was like, who are you?
Oh, he's from the clan.
They must have pals.
So I was like, all right, whatever you can be in my fire team.
Yeah, I'll do anything together.
What?
Yeah, I think you get more XP if you're in a fire team.
I don't know what is what his motive was.
But normally you'd think you'd have like, you know, the respect to message and go, oh,
can I help with this?
Yeah.
Can we do this or whatever?
No, he just jumped in.
So I was all right.
Fine.
So I carried on doing what I was doing for like 15 minutes or so.
Then I went to go to a mission.
I was trying to do and it said you must have X expansion to do this.
Obviously one of them didn't.
One of them ain't got it.
Fuck.
I had to kick him out, which is even more.
Oh, and they got angry.
It's uncomfortable for me.
Yeah, I didn't want to I didn't want it to come to that.
I kicked him out.
So yeah, that was rubbish.
And then I was trying to do something the other day.
I had to to finish like a triumph.
Basically, I wanted to finish all these little triumphs, all these achievements to unlock
like certain stuff anyway.
I had one I needed to do.
I had three out of I needed four people to do this hard thing.
Maybe in one of them and I needed one more person.
So I thought fuck it.
I'll do what everyone else does.
I went in the clan and I invited one person.
He came in.
We started it.
He died once and left and that really irritated me.
Fantastic.
Do you not send any of these people a message?
No, what's the point?
Well, two people joined your fire team.
You thought what's up?
No one's talking to me.
Why would you not just shoot a message and go we want well someone else?
Funny enough, I get obviously notifications on Discord.
It's pretty annoying.
And they have got notifications and stop fucking inviting me and joining my fire team.
If you want help, tell me what you want.
Now, I'm guessing it was that guy because after I kicked him out, he sent me about
five or six invites to his fire team.
I'm busy.
I will help you.
But tell me what you want me to help you with.
Yeah.
But yeah, so I guess that guy was messaging him and stop it.
Stop joining and stop inviting.
I don't know what you want.
But yeah, I'm in a clan.
It's good for the free engrams.
What's the clan called?
I'm not going to disclose that information because I don't want people to know who I'm shit talking.
Oh, come on.
I'll be honest with you.
I don't know what they're called.
Like them sweaty nerds are going to be listening to this too busy fucking in front of the screen.
We're international mate.
Yeah, what's the buttons?
Ain't just the UK based thing.
We are international, you know, step brothers.
Well, they got boats and hoes.
What are they called?
What?
What do you mean what they're called?
Well, they start their own business, don't they?
And they go international with it.
Was it not called boats and hoes?
No, that's the song they made to advertise their business.
I'm not going to fucking Google it.
I don't know.
Something something international.
But yeah, that's basically what we are.
We started small time.
Now we're big time.
Yeah, this is it with our two patrons.
Yeah.
Well, got to start somewhere kiddo.
So.
So you're in a clan that's serving very little purpose to you other than free engrams.
Yeah, I get free engrams.
Don't get me wrong.
It's nice to see that many people.
I'm sure if I needed help with something and I actually messaged and said, can you help?
Then you get some help.
Then I'd get some help.
But like I say, just inviting someone and then leaving was a bit annoying.
But I understand.
And then people just joining is a little bit annoying as well.
But not everybody understands the rules.
The rules of engagement.
You got boundaries.
Let's put them up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I like that.
There's an elephant in the room.
Oh, no.
And I don't know why we didn't start with it.
It's not oh, no at all.
What have you done?
Nothing. They've done anything.
Edgerunners.
Oh, yeah.
You've been itching to talk about it.
One of the best fucking things I've ever seen in my life.
Yeah, I don't watch anime or any of that type of stuff other than Pokemon.
When I was a kid, that's about as far as it's ever gone.
So I've never been interested in it.
Never really been interested in cyberpunk.
And then this Edgerunners comes out of nowhere and everyone's fucking talking about it on TikTok.
It's all I see is all I hear is the fucking theme tune, which is fantastic.
By the way, that song is on repeat constantly.
So I thought, oh, I'll give it a go, mum.
10 episodes, half an hour long each.
Perfect.
You're so you ain't going to invest that much time into it.
You know, I mean, you can watch first couple of episodes and you'll know whether you like it or not.
I fucking hooked.
Steph was busy.
She went out somewhere.
She was at work.
Went out somewhere.
She was working and I blitzed it.
10 episodes.
Gone.
Watched it all fucking all over it.
Give me your thoughts.
It's funny you say that because I've been thinking about it as well.
And I was going to say exactly the same thing.
I don't watch anime.
The only anime I've ever watched is Pokemon.
Yeah, I've tried to watch anime because I like the idea of Dragon Ball Z and stuff like that.
But I just can't get into it.
No, the only other anime that I've ever watched that I've enjoyed.
Ironically, what are you laughing at?
What's so fucking funny?
No, go on.
No, what's laughing at you, punk?
I don't want to say it on the pod.
We'll get killed.
Go on.
Since you're saying the only other anime.
Are you going to say something rude?
You've watched that you enjoy it straight away.
Porn come into my head.
Definitely not.
That's not my jam.
I'm not imposing.
I am by the way.
I have a strange man.
No, the only other anime I've watched I've enjoyed ironically is The Witcher.
They done a film called Nightmare of the Wolf.
Did they?
Yeah, and it's about a young Vesemir and that's an anime movie.
That's about an hour and a half.
I suppose you got the manga as well.
Yeah.
But yeah, but I only bought that because it's like limited edition never going to be made.
The thing that you haven't fucking looked at.
I've looked at it, but I've never opened it.
I like to keep it preserved for future generations.
Very quickly.
We throw this one in there.
The God of War Ragnarok controller for PS5 got released on pre-orders.
Fuck you game by the way.
Most of you have said this before.
You're so shit.
I hate them.
Just useless.
I got my pre-order eventually, but their website can suck my ass.
All right, but this man pre-ordered the controller for 65 bones.
He's already said he's not going to use it.
He's going to keep it in the box.
I didn't pre-order it.
You said?
I didn't pre-order it.
I just said it's up.
I looked at it.
I was on the website.
I thought about it.
You sent me a picture.
Of what?
Of your...
Or was that just it in the basket?
It wasn't even in the basket.
I thought you got it.
No, I was just looking at it and I thought shall I and I thought it's a lot of money for a control
that yes, I won't use because I won't want to like get the button sticky.
Not...
That's terrible.
You know what I mean?
You know when you use a button too much and it starts getting stuck.
I don't want it to happen.
I only bought it because you bought it.
Why would you buy a stand because I bought it?
What's wrong with you?
I felt left out.
What are you, 12?
Fuck.
I'm going to keep it.
Of course.
I'll buy it off you for 30 quid.
No, you're mental.
No, well I am.
Well, I got it.
I am mental.
Anyway, back to what you...
I'm not spending money on a controller, but yeah, there we are.
I don't know what I'm saying.
They've thrown me.
Edge Runners, yeah, the anime for The Witcher.
So obviously, The Witcher and Cyberpunk both being made by CD Projekt Red.
Obviously, the series is not and the film is not, but they're IPs, so to speak.
So yeah, the irony is not lost on me that the only two animes I really like are CD Projekt Red IPs.
Maybe you have to have an invested interest in the first place to enjoy it because to be honest with you,
I saw so much about Edge Runners as well and I thought, I love Cyberpunk.
I always preach about how good it is and I don't really like anime.
I watched the first episode or I watched the first 10, 15 minutes and I was like, it's not really...
Yeah, it's a bit...
And then I was like, something happened and I was just like, I know that's pretty cool.
Blood, guts and gore.
Yeah, it's brutal.
And then the next episode, I was like, I know that's really cool.
And then yeah, just took...
Spirals into, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it was hard to...
I didn't want to watch it all in one go.
I couldn't anyway, but it become difficult to watch because we can only have one person watching Netflix at one time.
It was on one account.
I got my daughter watching stuff, Jem's watching stuff.
So I had to wait till no one was about watching stuff and then I could do it.
I finished it last night and yeah, I will give that a 10 out of 10.
Yeah.
Because I loved it.
Yeah, I'll give it a 10 out of 10 as well.
I'm praying it gets another series.
I couldn't 100% see why there's a correlation between Edgerunners coming out and Cyberpunk being top of the charts again.
100% because I sent Mashed...
I sent Mashen Edger...
Bottom of the barrel, we don't pretend to be anything but gutter tears.
I sent Ash.
Sorry, that's tickling me.
I sent... his head looks like a potato.
Anyway, I sent him a message and I said bearing in mind, I hate on Cyberpunk quite a lot.
This shit's making me want to buy it and play it because it's just fucking sick.
And then you see all the little TikToks of everywhere in the series is in the Cyberpunk universe.
And there's little Easter eggs of the music and the people and it's like, I love that.
Not just that.
Adam smashes in it and plays quite a big part.
And obviously I won't go into it, but a lot of people have got questions for him and they want to go and speak to him and see him and maybe do some things.
So you get to...
What's really cool, right, I'm going to spoil it.
I'm not going to say what happens, but I'm going to...
Spoilers!
Oh, yeah.
So spoiler alert, switch off if you're going to watch Edgerunners and then come back in like 10 seconds.
Yeah.
Maybe a minute or two.
It's your problem now.
Yeah, a lot of...
I've never seen it and I don't think it's ever been done where something's happened in a TV series and you can literally take revenge for what happens in that in the game.
Yeah.
You can go and, you know, do whatever you want really to this person that's upset you.
Like you've never had that interactive media from translate from TV series to game.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
That might be a new avenue to start looking at things because I will talk about Cyberpunk in a minute.
But yeah, man, I was gassed for it.
I didn't want it to end.
I was too short really in the end.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, I mean...
You've done it in one sitting.
I did it in one sitting.
So that's what five hours worth of viewing time.
So it...
And to me didn't feel like five hours at all.
Did not feel like...
I tell a lie.
I watched one episode the night before as I was going to bed and then yeah, the other nine.
Like I woke up and boom, it was on.
And yeah, I was very invested in the story and obviously the ending.
I'm not going to talk about the ending, but emotions were there.
And yeah, it was just...
I can see why it is extremely popular because it's so well made.
It's fantastic.
I'm not going to watch any other fucking anime.
Do you think they'll do another series?
I have to surely.
No.
You don't think they'll do another?
I don't think they will.
What? Really?
I think they'll leave it.
No way.
I think they'll leave it because I feel like it's edgy enough to...
Oh, excuse the pun.
I feel like it's edgy enough to leave it there.
What could leave people wanting some shit?
Maybe with this new found fucking popularity.
Maybe they throw a DLC.
I don't know.
They said they wouldn't, but maybe CD Projekt Red throw a DLC at Cyberpunk revolving around that sort of area.
I kind of already have.
I'll touch on that in a minute.
But yeah, it's nice as well because obviously it came out to quite negative media and rightly so to some extent.
I do think some of it's bandwagoning, but there we go.
But I haven't watched every single one obviously, but one of the developers, I think his name is Pavel.
Pavel?
He streams every Sunday on Cyberpunk and he's gone through some tough times watching it.
I've gone in the chat every now and again.
I'm not really a commenter, but I'll read and people are giving him shit and just like game shit.
Sort your game as fuck.
It's broken.
And he's just like, look, we know.
We're trying to sort things out.
Give us time.
And it's been a long time now, but I tuned into him this Sunday just gone.
It was so nice.
He was like so thankful and he was just so grateful and people posed that question to him of.
So now what?
Because you've said that's it now.
They always want more, don't they?
You're not going to do any more DLC after Phantom Liberty.
Yeah.
Does this change things with the popularity now and the renewed?
Because it's having a no man's sky arc.
It's having that now.
People are like the amount of updates that has happened since.
It's not the same game as it was.
And now I completed it on the, what I forgot I did.
I played it on the PS5, but I completed it on the PS4 version.
I'm playing the PS5 version at the moment.
We'll get into that.
But yeah, so the PS5 version people are tuning in now and obviously with all the updates,
things they've added, they've changed a lot.
A lot of quality of life, a lot of new features.
People are actually, this is really good.
So with that in mind, he's basically just said, we're always listening and we are.
Obviously I can't disclose information, but by saying things like that, it makes you think
something's happening.
So with that in mind, it might not be the end for Cyberpunk 2077.
Definitely won't be the end for the franchise.
They've already said they're going to carry on doing, where they're going to focus on
two IPs, which in Cyberpunk can't be anything else.
They've just built this from the ground up and yeah, I think the future is bright.
They originally was going to do a multiplayer Cyberpunk game, like spin-off.
That might come back about, who knows, but the world is there.
Everyone's interested in it shows the people's first for that world and want to place play.
It is a very cool, is a very cool world.
Mike Pondsmith is the creator, much like the creator of the witcher.
His name escapes me.
Skopowski.
I can't remember his name.
I'm sorry.
But yeah, much like the creator of the witcher, Mike Pondsmith is the creator of Cyberpunk
and they've took that and created a game and yeah, what a world they've built.
They can really run with it.
They can go anywhere they want.
There's millions of stories.
They can run with it or they can flop with it.
Yeah, I just don't see them flopping.
Like people forget as well, you will have no idea, but the witcher three came out.
It was so bad.
It was really bad.
Yeah.
But people just seem to shit all over Cyberpunk.
I think maybe because of the technical issues on old consoles is what happened and the expectation
was so ludicrously high for Cyberpunk, whereas the witcher came out to more, you know, more
everyone knew, but it was quiet as it come out.
They did go mental with the advertisement of Cyberpunk.
Fucking everywhere.
The hype for it was crazy.
Yeah, but it was more, it's not them doing it.
It was the media because they showed us like 12 years ago, like not a trailer, just like
a screen grab kind of thing.
People are like, wow.
And then like seven years later you hear something and then the trailer comes out.
Fucking hell.
And then you start seeing a bit of hands on and then the reporters are coming out saying
they've seen a bitch behind the scenes trailer.
Oh my God.
If they pull this off, this is going to be amazing.
And then you don't hear enough in phrase.
So yeah, it just builds and builds.
They're not responsible for their hype.
That's not their fault.
Um, but yeah, they know they shouldn't have released it on last gen.
They've showing that by not releasing the DLC on, uh, last gen when it comes out, it's
a good move.
It is a good move, but they've learned their lesson.
They've got a lot of goodwill in the bag because they've never done micro transactions.
Um, and obviously the witch of free being one of the greatest RPGs of all time.
They've got that in the bag.
So they got goodwill and now they're slowly bringing it back.
And I'm really happy for them, man.
I really am.
And that's all for, who would have thought an anime series would, would, where did that
come from as well?
I hadn't heard anything about it whatsoever.
And then boom, there you go.
Have some of this.
I knew it was, um, I knew it was coming.
Um, I've, I've, I heard about it a long time ago, but I just thought my, my expectations
were low one because I've done like anime on a personal level and two because I thought
it's going to suffer because of the game.
There's no way a betting man, I would never have put money on it being a success because
of that.
And it's had the positive, the complete opposite is, is, is polarizing really.
Um, yeah, by last, what is that?
Huh?
I was just trying to work out what's happened.
Might've won a raffle.
Oh, what you won?
Well, I went to my daughter's school today.
Yeah.
Um, cause they've got like a cup and cup, a cake, I was going to say cupcake and a tea
day kind of thing.
Um, yeah.
What's an afternoon tea?
Well, just the end of the morning, just like, uh, we're going to sit around the table with
other parents and then your kids come out and then we sit there and have a couple of
cakes and a cup of tea and then they go back to play and we go home.
Um, but there was like a raffle and stuff.
Yeah.
So we bought like two raffle tickets and my lucky number is eight solely because my daughter
or one of my daughters and my son was both born on the eighth of a month.
And uh, when, when we pulled the raffle out and they gave us a strip with eight on it,
I was like, we're going to fuck it.
We're going to fucking win.
We're going to win this.
And uh, we won.
We won some cakes.
You got some cakes.
We won some cakes.
Look at you.
Uh, ironically we won by number two, which is also my lucky number.
I've got two, two and eight.
And uh, yeah.
So yeah.
Mine's six by the way.
Did it say what cupcakes they are?
No, but they look delicious.
I cannot imagine you sitting in a, sitting on a, on a table in a, in a school with all
the other parents drinking tea and eating cakes.
Yeah.
I don't fit in.
I've realized that I don't fit in anywhere.
Really?
Do you?
I'm realizing this.
Yeah.
Sorry, Connor.
I know I didn't fit in at your wedding.
I apologize for that.
Yeah.
It's, it's um, fuck you.
Colonel Custer, you can't fucking, I didn't mean to say that.
I'm sorry.
You're gonna have to cut that word out for goodness sake.
They just come off the tongue.
Oh dear.
Sorry, Connor.
Right.
Cool.
Um, I've lost my train of thought.
What was we talking about?
So cupcakes, cupcakes have been purchased one.
Well, when do you get them?
Where, where?
Oh, we got them now.
My daughter's hyped that we've won.
Oh, it's good.
She's been giving them now.
Yeah.
That's nice.
Yeah.
I'm happy for her.
I'm going to eat at least 50% of them.
Yeah.
I don't want her to get sick or eat fat or anything.
I respect it.
You have to eat some of the cupcakes.
I'll take the weight on, you know, I'll be like, don't worry kid.
I've got this.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Don't worry.
Daddy's going to get fat.
It's okay.
I mean, she is a child.
So maybe, maybe the sugar and the, the, the saturated fats might benefit her other than
your old ass.
Possibly.
So maybe she does.
I just don't want to take that risk.
So I'll eat them and I'll let her know in 30 years that I ate them cakes.
So you didn't have to remember that.
I ate them cakes for you.
Yeah.
Moderation.
Exactly.
What the fuck are we doing?
What are we talking about cupcakes for?
Congratulations.
Put yourself on the back.
Thank you.
Uh, what about the Warcraft?
No, Cyberpunk.
We completely skipped over it.
We talked about edge runners.
No.
On the list, we've actually skipped for, we went intro, Patreon, Century, wow release
date we've skipped over straight to edge runners.
You're the one that's I'm running it.
I'm running it.
So we'll go back.
We'll go back.
It's got its release date for dragon flight.
November.
I find it mental that you pre-ordered something that didn't have a release date.
Is that mental?
I didn't even know you could do that.
You spent a hundred quid on a fucking pre-order of a burnt out engine that looks exactly the
same as the game before it and plays exactly the same.
I don't know what game you're talking about.
Yeah, but I had a release date.
Fuck them.
I don't know why you're getting antsy.
No, they had a release date.
They just didn't.
It wasn't concrete.
They just said December.
I'm just saying I didn't know you could pre-order things with no release date.
Wasn't a sly on World of Warcraft.
Of course you can.
Pull your pants up.
Of course you can do that.
Anyway, 28th.
That's when it's coming out.
Speaking of World of Warcraft quickly while we're on the subject, this will make you laugh.
I got Dean bought because of you, your weapon.
He bought it.
Yeah, so did he.
What's he going to bought that for?
I don't know.
That's upsetting because it's not cross play.
So I won't be able to play with him.
The trouble is he's going in.
He knows what it is.
He said he's watched a lot of videos.
So he knows what he's walking into.
He's done his research.
But ironically he's suffering from the same thing I suffered from, which is a horrible
condition called post-Witcher 3 syndrome.
He's played The Witcher 3.
He realizes it's the greatest game of all time.
And he wants something.
And nothing is comparing to it.
He's tried, what games has he played?
He's played, he's tried Valhalla.
What other game?
He played some other, he played a really big game and he was like, it's just not even coming
close.
Well, that is ESO is World of Warcraft is the reason why I play ESO.
Of course.
Just because I'm not playing well at the moment.
You try and find something similar.
I found out that so Rafer the Lich King classic has come out the other day.
So that's very popular at the moment.
It's an old expansion for their classic series and blah, blah, blah.
Now the Dragon Flight betas are being sent out all over the place.
Now I've been playing since day dot and never received a beta in my fucking life.
But I let the subscription run out and it was only last week I realized you have to
be subscribed to have any chance of getting a beta.
So I'm going to spend the 10 quid for the month and just see if I get the beta.
And if I don't, then I don't.
I'm not going to get it with not being subscribed.
When's the release date?
28th of November.
I'm very excited for it.
So you got God of War on the ninth.
When?
I don't know.
Some point in November.
I don't think of anything but destiny.
I can't remember when God of War is coming out.
Fuck.
I should know this because it basically I've got a blitz through that.
Get that shit out of the way.
And then I got a bang on World of Warcraft.
Everything's going to be dropped.
You've got loads of time.
You've got like three weeks, bro.
You've got loads of time.
I told Mark I'll get God of War done in two days.
Yeah, I think you will.
You'll smash through that.
You've got no commitments.
I think some hours.
You can tell Steph, look, babe, I'm just going to chill.
Just leave me for a couple of days.
I call her boo.
I'll get a couple of hours.
All right, look boo.
Babe, babe sounds ridiculous.
I'm going to chill for a couple of days.
I don't have the look to get away with babe.
Well, I say, look, babe, I'm going to play a PlayStation for an hour.
She didn't know you fucking meant we're going down the park.
Oh, fucking hell.
So I'll get a couple of hours of an evening.
So it's going to take me a long time.
It's not going to take me a long time.
That's going to be fantastic.
That's going to be a shit take on spoilers.
I'm still scared of not getting the collector's edition.
Fear not, young one.
It will happen.
Yeah.
For the people that don't know, when I went to buy the preorder, the controller, my card
that is on my game account is expired.
And naturally I've got a new card.
Will the fucking preorder for God of War was on the old card.
And because of that, it won't let me remove that card and change it over because obviously
they haven't taken payment for it yet.
So I'm now sitting there panicking going, fucking hell, what if they go take payment
and they can't because they're so fucking thick.
They might not realize there's another card there.
That was the Reese.
So I'm taking, yeah, I'm not having none of that on my head.
Let's see what I mean.
Disgusting.
I don't give a fuck.
Like I said before this, I listened to Joe Rogan's podcast.
He edits basically nothing and he's fantastic.
So we're aspiring to be like that.
Yeah.
So he has farted in the first five minutes.
So we're on it.
If he can do it, I can do it.
He's a class above old Joe Rogan.
Yeah.
So yeah, that's coming out.
Are you excited?
Yeah.
So you've got a fear, have you got that FOMO feeling like you want to jump in because you
don't want to miss out.
You want to get in, get done.
You want everything.
You don't want to miss out.
Is there weekly challenges?
Is there things you got to do daily?
Yeah, there's daily.
It resets every Wednesday.
There's dungeons, there's raids, there'll be new achievements, there's new zones, there's
new mounts, there's new pets, there's new blah, blah, blah, loads of shit, new system.
I could go on forever about all this shit that's changed, new class.
What I mean is there are things that you can miss.
Yeah.
So you get FOMO.
Yeah, there'll be loads of shit.
Yeah.
But I'm a vet.
So I don't miss out on this type of shit.
I just get in.
I get stuck in hours and hours, get put on.
And then in two weeks, I'll be sick of it.
But do you actually pay attention to the story in that?
No.
Yes.
But I know what's going on.
That blows my mind.
I know what's going on though.
It's the... so obviously when you get a quest or something, it comes up with a load of dialogue.
You know like ESO, how it's all voice acted, fantastic.
Me and Steph, skip through that.
Don't want to listen to that shit.
Go away.
She did.
And then obviously I play next to her and all she could just hear constantly was me
clicking through the dialogue.
World of Warcraft, most of it isn't voice acted.
And there's a setting to like a chat bubble sort of thing comes up and there's a setting
where you can have it so that all the dialogue just comes up instantly.
So you can just click on it and just go accept.
Don't even bother reading it.
But the actual main story is itself of each expansion.
It's all cut scenes and stuff like that.
So you don't really miss a whole lot.
You get the gist of what's going on.
You want to know all the little intricate details, no?
Some people do.
Some people don't.
I'm one of the people that doesn't really give a fuck.
There are people that are all over the law.
Know all the books and everything and all the proper nerdy details of it, which I respect.
And I was sort of in that a couple of years ago, but I'm not interested, man.
I'm not interested in that stuff.
MMOs are different with that sort of stuff.
It's too in depth for me unless it's really, really grabbing me.
I'm not really paying much attention to it.
You want the story spoon fed to you, didn't you?
Yeah.
But yeah, I will sink a lot of hours in.
I'm tempted to take some time off.
You do you, bro.
So yeah, I am excited.
I'm sick of seeing people say it's going to be shit.
That's the struggle in a little bit.
Just see what happens.
Yeah.
You're still going to preorder it.
Struggling, but it's still like the number one game in the world.
Yeah.
All times.
Still play account.
There's still people that are complaining and still going to play it.
They're still going to buy it.
And then whatever.
I mean, let's just see what happens.
I think it'll be good.
Give him a chance.
I hope it'll be good.
I'm happy for you.
I like you.
Just been waiting for fucking ages.
You have.
Well, I'm pretty sure it's one of the first things you did like the second episode.
I think you apologize because we won't preorder anything and I preordered.
Yeah.
And then I preordered Dragonfly.
Yeah.
This is this has got history of the pod.
It does.
Yeah, it does.
And then hopefully in a couple of months time, I'll be able to throw a review your your way
and no one will be interested because I'm sure no one listening plays World of Warcraft.
How long does it take?
How long do you do anticipate you spending on this once it comes out?
What Dragonfly?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Well, how long do I think we are?
Well, you ain't played it for ages.
So are you going to jump on do all the stuff you're going to spend like a week just doing
loads of shit and then dipping out?
Are you going to be in all the way in for like a year again?
I'll be in all the way in.
I'll be in 100 percent.
I mean, I've already I mean, Steph doesn't know.
I've already made a promise to myself that World of Warcraft Dragonfly will consume 95
percent of my gaming time.
I won't play anything else unless Steph says that she wants to play ESO because I will
stay up there with ESO and I will play with her because I think it's quite fun.
But I will sink tens of hundreds of hours into it very quickly.
Them is just a construct made of made from man and I will break that construct and sink
countless hours in like that and it will just be done.
I appreciate your dedication.
Whether it's shit or not, it's still exciting.
So I'll just throw load and everyone will.
This is what you do.
Well, what are you going to do when Lightfall comes out?
I'll probably be bored of Destiny by then.
I'll jump in at some point.
Fantastic.
I only done it for the exotic auto rifle.
Fuck off, man.
Quick silver storm.
Delicious.
The Proto there, the one that you could just buy.
No, you bought it.
I got a free auto rifle.
Well, it wasn't free.
It cost me working fortune.
Not very good in PvP, unfortunately, but it's good in PvE.
Brilliant.
Fires rockets and grenades and bullets.
It looks very cool.
I need you to put some clips up actually.
When I was playing with Connor the other day, I took him on a dungeon.
I was showing him the way and there's one dungeon that's just full of traps.
So I was like, go on, Con.
Off you go, lad.
Go ahead, sir.
Let's see how you get on.
He just kept dying to jabs down there.
I screen-shotted one of them.
I screen-saved one of them.
Def, def, def.
Saved it, yeah, so you can post it up.
And then I was playing with randoms the other day, just doing a strike.
They were like, I'm not a Destiny vet, but we call new players kindergarteners.
Kindergardians?
I was playing with a couple of kindergartens.
They were low level.
I was looking at their gear.
They were still wearing blue stuff.
And when he was on a moving platform thing, obviously when you do strikes, you know what
missions you're doing over and over again.
And this guy was just looking around admiring the scenery.
And you can push people in Destiny.
Obviously you can just move into them.
And I just pushed this guy off the thing and it was the funniest thing I've ever seen.
When he respawned, he come right up to me and done that thing where you left him like
shaking.
Yeah, yeah, no, no, no.
So disappointed in me.
I love that.
But yeah, I carried him through it rapidly.
Yeah, well, cool.
I'm happy for you.
I'm looking forward to hearing your views.
Not that I care for World of Warcraft, but I can appreciate you enjoying something.
Dean will care.
Maybe, maybe not.
He doesn't.
He's never played an MMO.
So he's new to him what he's stepping into.
That's what I mean.
But he's not one to jump in without doing his research.
He would have looked.
He would have looked into it.
He said he watched a lot of videos.
He knows the sort of thing he's getting into.
He knows it ain't the Witcher 3, but his words were, I'm now into that nerdy shit.
Since the witch really like medieval stuff.
I mean, like fantasy.
Now he's into fantasy.
Dean, listen to me now, mate.
When you buy, when you play ESO, there's ESO plus.
I have to explain this to him.
Get that.
It's a subscription.
I think it's like, it's more expensive on console than it is on PC.
PC is like seven quid a month.
Console is like a tenner.
Don't ask me why.
Get that.
Make your life a lot easier.
And then if you actually do really like it, the ESO plus gives you access to all of the
DLCs.
So you don't have to purchase any of it.
Bar in the newest one.
Bar the newest one, which at the moment is high aisle.
Don't buy that because Legacy of the Breton is coming out very shortly.
Or I say it's coming out in a bit.
And when that releases high aisle will be free.
So don't.
Just gutters.
Disgusting.
Don't bother buying high aisle.
High aisle.
Just wait.
You've got enough content with ESO plus.
Fucking so much.
Just to keep you going for the next 10 years.
Yeah.
So much shit.
Just.
But yeah, he's, he's, he's looking forward to jumping in that.
I'm excited for him.
I don't know if he has jumped in or not.
There was a couple of days ago, but I'll never make judgments on people again, seeing as
he come from like a call of duty background.
And then I got him back into games again.
Um, and he asked me about bloodborne.
I was like, definitely not.
That is not your jam.
You don't want to jump into a souls game and then become his favorite game of all time
before the witcher.
And then he platinumed it.
Yeah.
He got platinumed it, which is mental and he got a tattoo of it.
So I'll never judge someone on what their preference is because you don't know until
you try it.
So him walking into a world of MMOs, it might change his life.
He might be getting a computer soon and jumping into the same when I first met you.
I thought he was this fucking football.
Who?
Well, it weren't like that.
I was scared.
I was just fucking terrified, man.
It looked like he's going to kill you.
Does not look like a game of whatsoever.
Right.
Yet here we are.
And here we are doing a fucking game in broadcast.
It's meant to get much nerdier than this.
No, no.
Well, we can make it nerdier.
Well, let's do it then.
Go on.
I was all about visually.
Just got wearing deodorant.
Yeah.
Stop watching.
I was thinking about the convention that we've got to go to.
I keep forgetting about that.
Yeah.
Delicious.
Yeah.
When is that?
April or May, I think.
Yeah.
Oh, I need to check it.
See, because I've got stag do.
Well, you fucking drop the stag do and then we go to this little nerd fest.
Oh, I'm not missing out on the nerd fest.
I'm sorry if I keep, if everyone's hearing me snort a lot.
There's no tissues here to blow my nose.
So I'm just snorting the phlegm into my mouth.
Disgusting.
Thank you.
Welcome.
I can't remember when it is.
I can't remember.
What would you say?
I was just saying today, I was thinking about the convention that we've got to go to the
Star Wars convention.
Yeah.
And I was just getting a bit excited about it because I think it'd be quite cool because
you're going to stick out like a sore fucking thumb and I will settle in quite nicely because
by then my hair will be quite longer and it'll be greasier and I'll have a longer beard.
I'll look the part.
I'll probably be fatter as well.
So I'll fit in quite nicely and I sweat quite a lot when I'm nervous.
So I will fit the demographic 100% whereas you, no doubt, will still have a big bushy
beard and a bald head and be covered in tattoos and people will be partying because they'll
be terrified of what's going on.
We've been infiltrated, infiltrated by the football hooligan.
They're here.
I can't find the email.
Brilliant.
What was it called?
I think I fucking clue.
I don't know.
This was early on into the Star Wars convention called.
That's not going to narrow down any celebration.
That's what it is.
The what?
Celebration Star Wars celebration.
Star Wars celebration.
I knew it had a word but I couldn't remember what it was.
Yeah.
Celebrate Star Wars.
Are we going on the Friday or the Saturday?
Come on.
Here we go.
No way.
What?
Do they link up?
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
What are the odds of that?
I can't believe what I'm seeing.
Two seconds.
Do they?
Two seconds, mum.
Just give me a moment, okay?
It's on the same weekend as this day.
Fuck off, bro.
What do you mean?
Well, obviously I'm going to the Star Wars celebration.
Yeah, but what day are we going?
Friday or Saturday?
It doesn't matter.
Of course it matters because I want to know.
We're going on the Friday, aren't we?
Because we couldn't get Saturday.
No, I think we're...
No.
Who's stag do?
Does it matter?
Because guess what?
You're fucking it off.
No, I didn't realise.
What?
It's fucking good Friday and bank holiday Monday.
Oh, is it?
Yeah.
So we got a long old weekend.
Yeah.
Oh, come on, son.
Come on then.
Let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's.
It doesn't say.
It just says Friday, April 7th at 10 to Monday.
Come on.
It's not the same.
It's the same.
It says Friday, April 7th at 10 to Monday, April 10th.
Come on now.
Oh, so I ain't got to book anything off.
Friday, Friday.
Friday.
Lads, lads, lads, lads, lads, we're going to get all the good shit.
Fantastic.
Let's get in there.
I'm going to buy so much shit that people really, really want.
Yeah, and then you're not going to sell it.
Yeah, I'm just going to sit on it.
Yeah.
Or I'm going to be such a dickhead.
I've got, I'm really, I can't, I've got to pull out of this.
This is a disaster.
But I can't.
I'm not going.
I'm going to start with celebration.
Whose wedding is it?
Gem's dad's.
That's a big one.
No, no, I don't.
That's a toughie, isn't it?
That's a big one.
So you got to go to her dad and say, look.
I've already paid for it as well.
You're going to go look.
We're going on a boat.
I have to drive a boat.
Let me take, let me take a shot in the dark here.
You're going to go look, Phil.
Yeah, that'll do.
Phil.
We'll call him Phil.
I feel like he's a Phil that drives a taxi.
Big bald geezer that would snap you like a twig.
That's Gemma's dad.
Phil.
I can't come to the stag do, mate.
Yeah, I know I've paid.
Look, shut up, Phil.
I know I've paid for it, mate.
Sit down.
Right?
I'm going to a Star Wars convention.
That's not going to go down well, is it?
At all?
Well, if he tries anything, I'll just use the force on him.
That's the nerdiest thing.
I'll just use the force.
Sit down.
I'm just using the force.
Forced choking.
All the best.
I don't envy you at all having to...
That's one of them things, isn't it?
Double booked.
Yeah, this was booked first.
I didn't mean to.
Yeah.
What are the odds?
He's booked out in the whole of next year.
Yeah.
It's lucky.
It's only because you just mentioned it.
Otherwise, I would never have...
Yeah, wouldn't have remembered.
Mental.
Absolutely batshit crazy.
By then, we're going to have t-shirts and all types of shit made up.
I'm so gassed.
I'm bringing a fucking flag and a banner with me.
What's the date?
What are we in?
November, November, November,
December, January, February,
March, April, seven months. Not
even that long bro. Not even
that long. I mean it's like
double the time we've been
doing a podcast for you there.
And then we're there and we'll
be on a stand and everything
and they'll be **** bowing to
us and they'll go, oh, they
wear deodorant. Yeah. The worthy
ones. What is your secret? You
smell so good. No offense to
anyone. This guy and this
convention. Well, I listened to
a Star Wars podcast and they
were like, oh, it's not nice
because it's not nice. We go
there every year and it stinks.
Yeah. I don't want to be in
that. That was part of the
reason we, you know, we couldn't
get Saturday which is handy
because I didn't know it was a
good Friday. Yeah. So, that's
worked out lovely, isn't it? Are
we driving or getting the
problem? Is the train's going to
be alright? Banco. No, I will
see. Two vehiculars there. Yeah,
well, we'll see. If we are
driving, you're driving.
Yeah. We got a bit of, we got,
we was talking about World
Warcraft. You wanted to talk
about cyberpunk, didn't you?
Yeah. So, as I said to you
before, I didn't want to rush
edge runners and also I wanted
to coincide it when I finished
it. I wanted to jump into
cyberpunk. I wanted to try and
wean myself off of destiny for a
bit. I need something else to
occupy my every waking for. So,
I put cyberpunk on for a couple
of hours this afternoon. Oh,
that's great. I jumped in. I had
no idea where I was and what I
was doing. Obviously, I finished
the campaign. There's one of
them where when you finish the
main story, it puts you back
before you start the final
mission. Right. So, yeah. I've
made the executive decision. To
start again. Drum roll,
please.
I'm going to platinum it. I
knew you would. That's going to
be difficult. Yeah, it's going
to be difficult for the trophies
to be bugged. I've I've just
looked at the trophies. Um what
the only trophy I'm going to
struggle with is you have to do
one of the the the ending like
um like a couple of different
ways but I think whereas it
sticks you out, it shouldn't be
too bad to go finish it off.
Yeah, it sticks you out before
the last mission every time
anyway. Right. So, it shouldn't
be a problem. It's going to do
that a couple of times. Um yeah
but there's probably a couple of
glitched trophies. It is what it
is. Yeah. What I want to come
inside with the edge runners
thing. They've added, they did
an edge runners update which I
wasn't aware of. Yeah. And
they've added like a lot of
edge runner stuff. You weren't
aware of that. Well, I I was
aware of it but I didn't, I
wasn't aware of what that
entailed. Yeah, yeah. Uh and I
still don't really know but I
know that yellow jackets in
there. Yeah. The the yellow
jacket, the
yellow jacket. Well, there's a
lot, a lot of Easter eggs in
there from it and there's like
little stories and stuff like
that. I haven't found it but I
want to find stuff organically.
I don't want to search it up.
Yeah. I just want to because
there's so many like side quests
to do that I just didn't touch
and the reason for that is
because I, everyone plays their
open world games differently. I
like to do the main story, dip
in the odd side mission every
now and again but I like to know
that when I finished, I still
got things I can do if I want
to. Oh, you go back and replay
them. Yeah. But like I said,
the strange, the side stuff is
as good as the main story. You
wouldn't, you couldn't tell what
was main story and what side
stuff in CD Projekt Red's games.
Main story done. Main story,
**** the game off uninstall.
Yes. Get in the new one. Don't
vibe with that bro. I like to
stay in it. Yeah. But yeah,
there's a lot to do. Um there's
a lot more things for me to
look at. They've had since
because obviously you gotta
remember like when I completed
the game, I was like, this is
five version is already a mad
step up. Um and since I've
actually played it properly,
there's been so many updates
to things. Uh you can buy
houses now. There's you can
change your appearance which
don't seem like a problem. You
can transmog all your gear so
you haven't got to wear stupid
**** Look who you're using the
World of Warcraft terminology.
Transmog's been in loads of
games bro. I know World of
Warcraft probably coined it and
did it first. Yes. Okay. It's
not competition. I'm not a
professional player because
there ain't many of them about
for that game. It's destiny.
Um so, yeah, there's a lot of
things going on. It's
interesting. So, I'm just gonna
I'm just gonna take it slowly.
I'm just gonna go along. Do do
missions as they fall in my
lap and um and then once I've
got to a point where I'm I'm
running out of things to do.
Then, I'll look at what left I
need to do for trophies and
then I'll go and do it like
that and if I need to do
another playthrough, I will
because there's free life paths
that I can do. Yeah. Um and
they give you different
dialogue and different options
and stuff like that. So,
there's that. I might start a
new playthrough before the DLC
comes out to go with that
character. Who knows? Um
interestingly enough, obviously
that's cyberpsychosis. Yeah.
Where they go a bit nutty
because they've got too many
implants. Yeah. There's there's
things in cyberpunk where
there's there's loads of them.
Oh, it was. Yeah. Loads of
people that have gone nutty
and uh ironically, I was
looking for one earlier and I
I've got the I've got uh
I've got the I've got a
well high up in here and I was
like creeping along this
rooftop because I knew he was
in this little compound thing
and I looked over the edge and
he's only **** a geezer with
pretty much the identical suit
on the older Martinez has in
the end. You know, the big old
mech suit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Basically, got that on and I
that's not a edge runner's
thing. I don't know if that's
just one of the many cyber
psychos in the game but I've
never seen that in that game.
I've never seen that in that
game. Yeah. Unless they added
that in but I don't think they
did. That's I've also got the
ability to get the **** claws
come out my arms and chop
people up and **** lift them
up. Yeah. Yeah. It's nutty
going to the Ripper Dock and
getting all your implants. The
things they could do with that
game is crazy and then the DLC
like say for the Witcher was
the best DLC ever made by far.
It's not even disputed by
anyone really. So, the
expansion can be nutty. Uh
they're already saying they're
revamping loads more stuff when
they're revamping loads more
stuff and I hope this inspires
and I hope the DLC sells really
well and it's well received. It
will do on it. I think I hope
so. Um but well, it's not
coming out till next year. So,
maybe the obviously the hype
will have died down by them but
hopefully it picks up and it
sells really well and people
come back and it received well
and then they might revisit
Cyberpunk and go, well, let's
do the couple of expansions that
we were going to do. Yeah. So,
yeah, I'm I'm all the way back
in Cyberpunk as I've always
stated, I can only do one
multiplayer game, one single
multiplayer game, two single
player games. Mm hmm. This is
my rotation for the time being.
I respect it. Sounds cool.
Obviously, it's Friday. So,
Z is back in Destiny. So, I'll
go and see what he's got to
offer and then I'll probably
jump back in on Cyberpunk but
we'll see. We'll see. I'm I'm
excited for the for the future
of both franchises. Yum, yum,
yum in my tum tum tum. In the
tum tums.
I'm excited for the Witcher.
Yeah. Oh, I will talk about
that when you because I got the
collector's edition. The wild
hunt edition. Or whatever it's
**** something like that.
Really **** wins. Uh I want you
to talk about House of the
Dragon a little bit. Why me?
Because I really need a wee.
And I can't be bothered to
pause the podcast. Uh I'd rather
just not. You go and do your
own thing. I'm going to talk
because it is very good and if
you played it at the beginning
when it first come out, it's
not like that no more. Although
I can't speak for PS4 owners
and last gen console owners
because I don't know how it
performs anymore. But please
don't skip on it and you can
get it so cheap, man. You can
probably pick up for like ten
They're so good. Uh and if
you're not sure if you're going
to like it, watch Edge Runners
on Netflix. It's anime. I don't
know if you will be able to
tell if you're going to like
Cyberpunk and it's setting and
the aesthetic of it. Um once
you've watched that, it's
basically a near distant near
future really. Twenty seventy
humans uh basically can get
implants by people called
Ripperdocs. Um and they can get
implants for all sorts of
different things like jumping
higher, claws in your arms,
you know, that kind of thing.
I'm not sure. There's obviously
split society. Um in a way
where you've got people called
organics which uh people that
have no um implants and then
obviously people that have and
if you have too many implants,
your body can't handle it, then
you might go cyber psycho and
you just you lose yourself and
you start committing heinous
crimes but obviously it goes a
lot deeper than that. Um I wish
I could have done that. Uh yeah,
so please check out Cyberpunk if
you haven't. Check out
Edgerunners at the very least
and if you don't like it after
one episode, then feel free to
never watch it again or ever
think Cyberpunk again but you'll
be doing yourself a disservice
to not at least check it out.
Sorry but what the **** is in
that monster? It was
ridiculous. That was the
longest **** ever. It felt like
it. What is it? Monster?
Monster Energy Punch. Pacific
Power. That that that's lethal
that I can drink coffee all day
and not need a **** Delicious.
That **** mental. Sorry to
leave you like that. That's
alright. We got through it.
Fantastic. Well, can we talk
about House of the Dragon now?
Yeah, you can. I've just done
my chatting. Your your turn.
No, I can't remember that much
about it. Well, so we had a big
time jump. We did. We did.
What do you think of them? Well,
the characters. Yeah. Fine. I
think I think it's probably the
weakest episode of the series
so far. I found it a little bit
bland. Oh, you **** What? What
do you mean? What do you mean?
What do I mean? What do you
mean? It's bland. It was a bit
bland compared to the other
ones. Oh, can we talk about
spoilers of it? If you tell
people you're about to spoil
stuff. Yeah. Yeah. If you don't
want to, if you ain't caught
up, don't listen to this
section. Skip forward a couple
of minutes. Mm hmm. So, burnt
to a crisp. Baby born running
around with blood pissing out
of her newly birthed vagina.
Not enough to interest you. No,
it's just you thought that was
boring. It was pretty boring.
Burnt to a crisp. Oh, while
she's pregnant as well. I
thought I found that mental.
You see the look on her
dragon's eyes. It was dark. She
was upset. That dragon did not
want to burn. That dragon's
huge. That dragon's ****
massive. And it looks
different which I like. It's
all covered in moss and ****
and **** and **** and **** and
it's not very unique. Mm hmm.
Yeah. Listen, you're you're
just putting words into my
mouth and running off with this
thing you've got in your head.
I said it was the weakest. I
didn't say it was a bad
episode. I just said of all
the episodes I've seen so far,
it's been my least favorite,
right? It's the weakest of the
episodes. You don't have to
get angry. I didn't say it was
a bad episode. You don't have
to get angry. Control it. You
don't have to get angry. I um I
enjoyed it. What I'm struggling
with is I keep forgetting. I
need the recaps because the the
week in between, a lot goes on
and then obviously I have
rings of power in between that
as well. So, trying to trying
to distinguish both of them is
becoming quite difficult for
me. I have exactly the same
thing. I'm watching it. I'll be
like, I definitely definitely
will remember next week. Yeah.
We're about to be was and we
get them like. It's the names
bro. I can't remember the
names. I can't remember. I can't
remember. Chicken tender woman.
Yeah. She what? Falares. What?
You're you know her name.
Falares. Mm hmm. Is that her
actual name? Yeah. You're
**** it. Alright. Making up.
Alright. Falares. Falares.
Falares. Whatever. Whatever.
Who's the husband? What was his
name? Damon. Damon. Me and
Steph reckon he's actually a
good guy. I still. Whoa. Whoa.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Whoa. I'm Steph. Reckon he's
the good guy. I literally said
this on the podcast. Like if if
if and there's proof. Go back
and listen. I literally said
this. So, don't come at it like
it's your **** ideas. I said
this. Did you? Yes. I don't
they're making it too obvious
that he is the bad guy. So,
Reneira is going to be the bad
person. In fairness, I don't
listen to the podcast anymore
after we've. No, you're just
going to stop. I mean, I agree.
I think I think that is what's
going to happen. Yeah. But
obviously, now that his wife is
dead, poor Falares, it's paved
the way for him. It's not
Falares, is it? Anything with
this in the end? I don't know.
Yeah. Whatever her name is.
His name is Damon though. His
name is Damon. He's now paved
the way for him to he's one
step closer to obviously trying
to get back to that gaff. They
got kicked out of King's Landing
King. Is it King's Landing?
Where are they all now? Geyser
has got King has got one arm.
King's Landing. Is that King's
Landing? That's where the
Lannister's obviously he wants
in the future and that's where
the iron throne is. He wants
that throne, don't he? So, he's
one step closer to the end and
I'm about to break. So,
Lincoln Park reference.
Yeah. Lincoln Park to the end.
Yeah. Yeah. He looks ropey,
didn't he? You know what's wrong
with him, don't you? He looks
fucked. You know what's wrong
with him? No. Leprosy. He's got
leprosy. Yeah. From that chair.
I don't know where he's got it
from. He keeps getting stabbed
up by the swords on the chair,
don't they? That's where he,
that's where it was in the first
episode. He got a little little
Nick from one of them and it
took his finger. Yeah and then
it took his whole **** arm.
Yeah. Fantastic. Speaking to
my mate at work and he uh I
said, yeah, he's lost his arm
and he didn't notice he's got
one floppy arm. In that episode
when he popped the first thing
when he popped on the screen,
Steph sat up and went, he's
lost a **** arm. Yeah. How do
you not notice that he's lost
an arm? Interestingly, uh the
next episode, there's going to
be another time jump. Another.
Another six years or 10 years.
Oh, so they'll keep the same
cast. All the young, well, all
the young lads, you know, the
Queen's kids and uh. Oh, they're
all jumping up to. They're
going up to an operation but
then they said that's the last
time they're going to be
jumping up to an operation.
Those kids are dicks, isn't
it? Yeah. Bringing out the pig
with the wings and they're going
to look, we've got you a
dragon. I would **** just
started swinging. Yeah. Little
dicks. Yeah, well, they're they
have rivals, isn't they? I
guess. Yeah, I suppose. Yeah.
It's all politics. That's a
good thing about Game of Thrones.
You know how it ends though.
Did I tell you how it ends?
Yeah. Did you? Yeah. Yeah, you
did. Hm. Interesting. I like
it. That's probably something
they would do. George RR Martin
was a great actor. I mean, it
was years ago that he said this
that uh I think he was asked
what his favorite character in
Game of Thrones was. Yeah. Or
just in this thing he's created
and he said Damon. So, he'll
he'll be around for a bit. Of
course, he'll be around for a
bit. He's great. I love him.
He's my favorite character. Oh,
Doctor Who. Yeah, I've everyone
says that but I didn't watch
Doctor Who. So, I don't know.
I see. I I know that he was
obviously Doctor Who but I
don't know him from Doctor Who.
I know him from the crown. I
know him from nothing. So, I've
got no preconception of him. So,
I'm not going to go into that
because uh I'm much prefer him
with longer hair though. So, if
he can keep that, that'll be
much better. He looks hard and
they all look good with long
hair. I like it. I like their
their their uh it's not white,
is it? I suppose it is white.
Golden. Golden hair. It's very
paladin. What's the very cool
video as well on the all the
dragons and the size of the
dragons. See, when they when
they aired the first episode of
House of the Dragon, I saw a
picture of like this big ass
dragon. I was thinking that that
was going to be coming in in
the next couple of episodes but
it hasn't arrived yet. I don't
know if it's a real thing. No,
yeah. Definitely. There's
definitely going to be a big
dragon in it because they
mentioned him on the episodes.
It's like, oh, where do you
think such and such? Yeah. And
he's like, oh, he roost
somewhere. Yeah, he's **** off.
He's over there. So, he's going
to be a big dragon turn at one
point below. And then everyone's
going to go, oh, **** it. He's
just big enough to eat the
city. Yeah. Yeah, it's
enjoyable. I'm a huge fan of
it and um I'm on the edge of
it. It's it's bringing back.
Well, obviously, you didn't
experience it at the time but
it's bringing back that
excitement of uh cliffhangers
and what's going to happen and
and yeah. Who you know, me and
Mrs. I want him to survive and
she's I want him to survive.
See, I'm having that with rings
of power at the moment. Really
enjoying it. I can't have an
opinion on that because I haven't
watched it. I don't think you'd
like it. I like a lot of the
rings. Yeah, but I don't think
that nothing's gone on enough
to keep you locked in. I've
seen a lot of people saying it's
going to be a big deal. Those
people can go **** themselves
and watch something else. You're
a huge fan of the rings. So,
you're all over it. Biased
towards it, aren't you? Of
course I am. Yeah, that's fine.
Yeah. Um yeah. So, we're on the
What have you been playing
section? Draw in this podcast
to a close now. They seem to
be getting quite long. A couple
of people said to me, they
quite enjoyed it. It was an
hour and a half long. It was
quite a long episode and they
quite like that. I think when
we're done, it's going to be
an hour and then we'll stop but
I think we're just letting it
roll on until we're done until
we're finished because it's our
platform and you'll keep ****
listening until we're done.
Agreed? Yes, mom. So, what have
we been playing? Want me to
start? You start. You can start.
I've downloaded a load of games.
I've sent Ash a list of games.
I just went mental and just
started downloading. So, when
I'm getting myself into a gaming
lol again, I thought I'm not
going to download an all source.
Dishonored one, dishonored two,
dishonored three, and then all
of them. I mean, I know there's
only how many are there? There's
three or four. I downloaded so
many. I can't remember. and
then I doubt so you got
dishonored. Yeah, dishonored
one, two, and then death of the
outsider. So, both fun so far.
I say both because I started
playing Dishonored one and then
swiftly remembered I've
played this one a couple of
times. Yeah. So, because it was
fun. So, uninstalled and then
started playing Dishonored two.
Now, I thought I was like, hold
on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
What? That's just completely
contradicts what you said. You
are finished here and then I've
uninstalled. Yeah, but this was
young. This was young. Young me.
This was young. There was
nothing. So, uninstalled this
honored one started playing
dishonored two and I thought in
my head, I was like, I've never
played this one. So, this should
be quite interesting. I
remember everything that I've
done so far and I've put in a
couple of hours. So, I've
played this one. So, it's
interesting. I'm getting like
deja vu constantly. Uh haven't
touched the third one.
Obviously, I then downloaded
Generation Zero. That's the
game where it's survival with
those robots. Robot dogs and
big motherfuckers. You might
have seen clips of it dotted
around the place. That's quite
fun. I quite enjoy that running
up to a robot with a baseball
bat and smashing the **** out
of it. That's quite enjoyable.
I've played it for three. Wild
Hunt. It's alright, you know, I
quite like it. Graphics aren't
great. It has aged. I won't, I
won't lie. Uh I thought because
obviously you do the intro,
don't you? With the combat and
the **** in
in the in the castle or
whatever and I thought I was
thinking I was like, this is a
bit clunky. So, this feels a
bit, this feels a bit iffy but
it's a bit of a **** some ****
up. Yeah, it's quite fun. I
quite like it. All the
different, the different
spells. It's like Skyrim, isn't
it? It's cool. I like it. The
signs. It's decent. I wouldn't
I don't think it'll be my all
time favorite but I can
definitely see why people
absolutely love it because it
is, it is fun. Um like I said
at the beginning of the pod,
I've had a cold all week. I'm
talking serious, bung up like
a
low. Uh but I tried to do what
I did. So, I've played quite a
few little little things and
then obviously there's ESO
and then I've played a lot of
Cyberpunk but Mark **** up
because he said, no, I don't
buy it. I've got it on disc.
You can have it and then just
get the PS5 upgrade. So, I
thought, alright, I won't buy
this then for 20 quid. He's
lost it. So, you're going to
buy it? So, not only have I got
him a job. Yeah, he won't pay
to support us and he won't give
me his games to support me and
then inadvertently support in
the pod. So, he's he's useless,
right? Yeah, I will do. I will
do but um I was going to buy it
yesterday but I bought Domino's
instead. I mean, I can't argue
with it. I love a dummy. That
was that was more important if
I'm honest and I it was worth
every penny. That's fair enough.
Um I've been playing Destiny.
So, that's the end of that.
Nice. New section at the end. I
want to add that you don't know
about. We're going to do a
quiz every week. Okay. Of?
What's the question coming from?
Well, what I've just googled. I
choose your subject. You choose
mine, right? Okay. Your subject
today is lord of the rings. So,
we'll next week, it'll be my
subject for you. No, no, you
can do my quiz after this. But
where do I get the quiz? Just
Google whatever subject it is
that you want. Quiz and answers.
Cool. Um and then we'll keep
track of who wins each week and
then after a period of time,
the other person will owe the
other person a document. Okay.

How many questions is this
quiz? Well, it can be as many

free powerful given to the
elves. B, seven seeing stones.
What are they? Uh see?

hobbits. B, the plains in the
east of Mordor. C, the hidden
entrance to the town.

just for fun and the dominoes.
Question five. How does a farmer
protect his fur long from
people? A, free trained dogs. B,

wasn't it? Which of these is not
a human? C, cindering. C. It's
A. Taliska is a human language.
**** off bro. What's this ****
off? Questions. How many
questions are there? I'm I'm
just doing ten. Right. Question
seven. Who is snagger? The great
goblin. A, the great goblin
which is the leader of the
goblins in the Misty Mountains.
B, a fire drake lived in the
lonely mountain to protect his
fur long from people. C.
Correct. Yes. Yes. He's got

love I love Lord of the Rings so
much but this is ridiculous.

Yeah. What marks the beginning
of the third age? A, the
elimination of Bellerin after
the Wrath War. B, the death of

elves. Can't get that one
wrong. It's like the ****
beginning of Lord of the Rings.
Third age starts when the last
alliance of men and elves
defeated Sauron. Yeah. What what
did you say? I said C. when
they defeat Sauron. It says the
third age starts when the last
alliance of men and elves
defeated Sauron. Yeah, they
defeated Sauron. No, defeated
not. They didn't kill him.
They defeated him. Fair. Took
away his power, didn't they?
Took the ring off him. I have
no idea. So, that's three.
You've got a lot. Last question.
Three out of ten. You can get
four out of ten. It's not the
end of the world. Fantastic.
Three out of ten is a disaster.
Which name do the elves use to
call the hobbits? The Perinaf,
the melon, the on a dream.
Say them again. The Perinaf,
the melon, the melon, the
on a dream. It's the melon.
Um
A.
Is it a? God, see, I'm just so
good and I'm a little we've got
four out of ten there. So, I'll
ask you ten questions of this
quiz. It might not, it might
not be Alright. Okay. Right.
Cyberpunk 2077. Oh, that's
easy. So, I don't know enough
about Cyberpunk. Bro, I give
you Lord of the Rings. I was
expecting a witch or what? I
know **** all. Uh well, right.
This is an easy one. Where does
the game take place? We got
Day City, Night City, Sun City,
or Sin City. Night City. Yeah.
Correct. Right. Where's the
next? Where's the next question
then? What is the name of the
game? The V. This is good. This
is going good so far. How many
people worked on the on the
development of the game? 50, 100,
250, or 500. 500. That's quite
a harsh question. 500, yeah?
It's correct. Of course it ****
is. Well, it did not be. When
was the game first released?
2020. 2020. Correct. What's
this **** questions, man? What
what is this? It's your own
quiz. Not my problem. It's
pathetic. Which of these is not
a type of ranged weapon in the
game? Power, tech, smart,
skilled, skilled.
What is that? Four. Four. You've
got five. Five. You've got
five. That's great, isn't it?
How many types of damage can be
inflicted or resisted? Three,
four, five, six. How many types
of damage can be inflicted or
resisted? Three, four, five, or
six. Yeah, I see. I've done.
That question's confusing. We
gotta answer. You're on the
clock.
I'm on the clock. Deadly.
Free. It's wrong. **** It's
four. That's fine. That was
question six, wasn't it? It's
because it says 30% so it's
obviously more than 10
questions here but I'll stop
when we've got to 10. So,
question seven, which type of
ranged weapon has homing
bullets? Power, tech, smart,
trained. Smart. Correct. How
many regions have you got one
wrong? It's good, isn't it? How
many how many regions will you
find in Night City? Four, five,
six, or seven?
Four. It's going over four.
Wrong. Five, isn't it? Six.
**** You are stupid. I am
done. What a willy. Which
region of Night City is
most famous? Santo Domingo,
Pacifica. I don't really
understand that. Pacifica. But
that's wrong. Yeah, that's
filled with the Watson. I was
going to say Watson until you
got it wrong, didn't it? So,
yeah. That's fine. It doesn't
matter. That's fine. What device
allows the main character to
undergo other people's
experiences? Brain dance, hair
dance, and brain dance. Yeah,
that's correct. Otherwise known
as BDs. Yeah, great. So, eight
out of ten. Ain't you ****
spectacular? Yeah. Nice. Yes.
Nice. Brilliant. Yeah. No.
Because I'm an honest guy at
seven. Is it seven? Yes. It
don't **** matter. It's better
than four. So, what what
happens now? Well, nothing. We
can do this for a period of
time. You know, maybe over the
course of four episodes, whoever
gets the most points then.
Yeah. So, episode twenty.
Alright. What are we on? Fifteen.
This will be episode fifteen.
Okay. So, then episode twenty
and we'll include episode twenty
on that quiz. So, we got
another another five quizzes.
Mm. But they gotta be subjects
that you know that we know. You
can't just, well, you can be a
dick but it's gonna be no, no,
no. I'm not gonna like tell you,
I'm not gonna put up a ****
geography quiz. It'll be
gaming orientated. Like, next
week, I might do a destiny
two quiz. I don't know. I don't
know. Destiny one. Yeah. Well,
that's not helpful, is it?
Rather than destiny two. I don't
know a lot about destiny two,
really. Oh. What? I'm just
thinking of all the different
quizzes we can do. Right. Well,
fantastic. You **** made yourself
a big man and won that first
quiz and I **** myself. I didn't
know what quiz you were pulling
out. It's not my fault. I I
well, it's just silly, isn't it?
No bed.
So, that's that. That's
episode fifteen out of the way.
That's a wrap. We've done it.
GG. Uh you know all the
questions. Yeah. Patreon.com
forward slash watch the buttons.
Give us your money. I'm really
desperate to get a third person
on this podcast just to see what
it sounds like. It'll be
fantastic. It'll be interesting.
Hmm. Uh yeah. See you later.
