1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,640
I'm not gonna read it out fuck all please

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:06,560
Have you started yeah, hello

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,720
This is what's the buttons

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:15,200
We're finally here as you can tell there's a different voice on the podcast

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:24,440
Ashes is struggling with his night shift where he's not struggling. It's just it's too much for him to wake up and come over here and

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:30,820
Last week I sort of said that my my lovely girlfriend Steph would have stepped in

7
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,640
What you put in a face?

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,740
Said that she would have stepped in and I said well, we didn't do it last week, but this week

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:40,960
Yeah

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,040
Steph is stepping in for ashes place

11
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,240
Let me say no

12
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:55,000
No, it's just your your your podcast race. I'm podcast race. I'm different

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,120
So yeah, Steph is with us. It's a bit late. We've had a busy day. I got caught watching the football

14
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,340
If you don't know what you know Brazil was now out lost to Croatian penalties. So that's exciting and

15
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,960
Yeah, what's the time we're recording this at?

16
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,080
Quarter past 7 in the evening

17
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,800
So we'll finish up here and we'll we'll get it out to the masses

18
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,320
This is so weird because normally ash sends me a list of things that we talk about

19
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:25,320
It's normally him that does it all

20
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:27,320
But you told me earlier that you had a list

21
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:29,320
I did but I didn't send it

22
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:34,560
I remember what's on it. I remember what normally we thank the patrons. Thank you. Thank you all of that type of stuff

23
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,600
I'm actually already a patron. Yes. Thanks to myself. Thanks to you. Yeah

24
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:44,520
We have a bit of news, unfortunately ash isn't here, but I'm sure he won't mind us

25
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,040
divulging on the information, so

26
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:53,320
You'll remember last episode. I spoke to ash about a proposal that I sent to him

27
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,960
Involving the patreon

28
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,560
It's he signed off on it now. So we're free to do it

29
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,960
Basically, what we're gonna do is for I think it's either four quid or five quid. We're gonna add another tier and

30
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,520
What we'll do is every week at the end of the podcast

31
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,040
We will record another half hour 40 odd minutes, however long

32
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,640
Dedicated to a game that we're into for that week. So for example, daisy

33
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:28,080
We'll throw half an hour's worth of of a podcast talking about that and various different bits of that

34
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,760
And then we'll change the game as we go throughout the weeks and and that type of shit

35
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,560
Where was I going with this? So yeah, that will be that will be available next week. I think

36
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:44,560
Maybe so for four four five quid the people who are already paying the big bucks

37
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,560
We'll have access to that straight away and

38
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,720
Yeah, I'd imagine so I fucking hope so it should be there's people that are giving us like a tenner a month

39
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,640
So they should they should you should get Sam Parks. You should get access to this man

40
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:06,240
So it's sort of it was our way to to get another tier out and give you some extra content

41
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,240
Give you some actual value for money

42
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,440
So it works out. What is that an extra two hours a month?

43
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:20,120
Maybe even more of extra content for four quid or five or haven't quite figured out the price and what we'll go with yet

44
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:25,000
So, yeah, look forward to that like I say, we'll have that out next week

45
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,720
But for today, um, me and Steph are gonna talk some shit

46
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,280
We sort of we sort of shooting in the dark here

47
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,040
But I've come up with a couple of things that we could talk about because conveniently yesterday

48
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:48,480
It was the game of the year awards and what I was gonna do is I was gonna read out the list of the things that won

49
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,000
various different

50
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,920
Awards and we can go off of that. Um, it's got to find the list now, and I

51
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,960
It's very poor very very very poor here we go, I've got the full list honestly, it doesn't surprise me

52
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,960
Yeah, this is how it normally works

53
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:14,360
Everyone as we spend a lot of the podcast sitting there flicking through. No, what this is gonna do is really reveal how much ash

54
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:21,880
Actually plan contributes to this podcast. You're just a roll. You're one of life's go with the flowers. Yeah, I think is it working

55
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:29,400
What do you mean? I think it's working. Yeah, just fucking no planning here. So we got game of the year

56
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,400
It was Elden Ring. I thought you meant your life

57
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,200
I was like, yeah, you're 25. No, no, no, no, no

58
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,400
Just the podcast

59
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:45,240
Rolling through life. So game of the year was Elden Ring was the winner on that one

60
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,560
So, um, a lot of people thought it was gonna be God of War Ragnarok

61
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,880
I believe ash thought it was gonna be God of War Ragnarok. I think you did. Yeah mark thought it was gonna be God of War

62
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,400
I actually said Elden Ring. I was hoping stray honestly

63
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,040
Yeah, I was on there expecting Elden Ring. So you had a Plague Tale Requiem

64
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:12,040
Elden Ring God of War Ragnarok Horizon Forbidden West stray and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and sort of when that when those

65
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,240
Titles were announced as nominees

66
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,240
Everyone including myself went right was it's either Elden Ring or God of War

67
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,560
It's gonna be one of those two and I believe we had a conversation about it before

68
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,360
when they first announced them and you come up with the full process of

69
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:35,000
Well, obviously Elden Ring has a much bigger audience than God of War in terms of playability

70
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:41,640
Because obviously God of War is just segregated to PlayStation players. Obviously God of War Ragnarok. I know God of War is on pc

71
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:51,080
So maybe that had a hand maybe the the fact of God of War released obviously in the latter half of of this year

72
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,080
Yeah, so maybe that had a hand

73
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:58,920
When I was talking to Meg about it her she literally the first thing she said she went oh, is it? Yeah the the

74
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,360
What did she call him? I don't know what she called it like that bald man or whatever she said

75
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,840
But she she's got it for him for Christmas

76
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:13,160
So, you know, he he couldn't buy it if he tried and that's someone who massively loved the first one. Yeah

77
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,760
And yet his opinion won't you know, his hat won't be in the room

78
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:22,600
Until until the new year because he's just because he played Elden Ring then, you know, or is he not?

79
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,520
Possibly couldn't tell you see I think

80
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,320
It's so difficult having played both of them because obviously Elden Ring was my first

81
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:38,520
Soulsborne game that I properly got into because obviously I played Bloodborne, but I couldn't I was just shit it

82
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,520
I was so bad. So it

83
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:46,760
Obviously, you know me once I get annoyed or something very easily lose interest

84
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,840
and

85
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:51,240
So Elden Ring was such a

86
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,520
a breakthrough game for myself

87
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,680
And you'll know I was fucking obsessed with the game. Yeah spent so

88
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,640
much time on it to the point where like

89
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,280
It was really weird to like Ash was the person that was teaching me how to play the game

90
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:10,280
and then I obviously through the students of

91
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,840
Yeah, not not for access, but it's just because I have like 10 times the amount of fucking

92
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,880
Available time to put into gaming than he has

93
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,280
So I think I I quickly took over

94
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:24,840
And

95
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,800
Just started smashing out the bosses and and I got so into it. So

96
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,600
I found Elden Ring was a great game

97
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,480
I got so into it. So I found Elden Ring this amazing

98
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:40,100
masterpiece of a game that I think

99
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,720
Will go down in history. You'll be talking about it in in decades to come because it was just so

100
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:54,120
Groundbreaking and and and incredible because there was so many people that started playing that game who had never touched a Soulsborne game before

101
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,680
and I think the open world esque

102
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:02,760
Um state of that game is what sort of like shoved people into that. Yeah, and I think it was very much

103
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,920
I mean having only pretty much watched you play it but at the same time

104
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,840
Oh for context i'm an avid lover of watching people play games and like it works very well in my favor

105
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,640
Yeah, I feel like i've played them like I think because of the way

106
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:22,840
Growing up watching my siblings play stuff. Yeah, I like i'm i'm not i'm kind of like a backseat player in a hopefully not

107
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:28,040
Annoying way because what we've got we've got detroit becomes human you sat there and watched me play that through the entire thing

108
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,880
We got the last first part too, which I actually felt bad because I played like an hour of it

109
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,560
And you weren't with me and we weren't living together at the time were we so I was then waiting

110
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:45,240
Was this when you were seeing me like twice a week once or twice a week? I want to say covid was happening

111
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,520
Maybe yeah, so I so I then I then waited

112
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,880
Um every single time to to play it with stef

113
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,080
So you got so detroit the last of us

114
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,640
Elden ring god of war ragnarok

115
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,840
You also sat and watched majority of that with me

116
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,960
He played it all tough and was like i'm not gonna wait for you and then he did yeah

117
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,520
But no of elden ring I think that it was

118
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:15,720
It felt like familiar but at the same time unique and new it was like a format that you recognize and and that you enjoy but

119
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,000
Quite innovative and like I loved the weird like player you could leave a message

120
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,480
And it was like they could be deceiving you. I thought that was really cool

121
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,800
um

122
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,440
and yeah, but I do agree I think you've definitely spoken about it on an earlier podcast, but

123
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:34,840
it's

124
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,960
I suppose

125
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,360
To like I feel like kind of it didn't feel like it was going to be a one and done

126
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:43,640
But in a way it has been there has been yeah

127
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:49,160
You can't you haven't gone back to it. No, it felt like it was going to be that kind of

128
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,600
potentially

129
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:56,040
Perpetual adding new stuff. I think there's bringing you back and it kind of hasn't been so they released an update on

130
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:02,360
Uh, what's the date today the ninth? Is it the ninth today? Yeah, so on the seventh they released a free update

131
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,320
that allowed um, basically

132
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:12,280
Like coliseums and you could go there and it was multiplayer so you could go there and you could battle other other players

133
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,880
Doesn't that already exist in a way? Well, you had it you had to someone

134
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,400
Yeah, you had invading which which you you?

135
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:25,480
Yeah, you would you would invade someone's world and you'd have to try and find them and then battle it out

136
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,520
Or you could invite someone to invade you

137
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,160
whereas this is sort of like um

138
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,360
A bit more set up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

139
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,880
So they they did that I think

140
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,240
I think because as always says, um

141
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,560
obviously, um

142
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:49,640
From software. They're so their dlc is so incredible because i'm not massive into from software games

143
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:56,760
Um, and ash is always saying how incredible their dlc's are and it's like when elden ring will when they released a dlc for elden ring

144
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,840
It's going to be fucking spectacular for me

145
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:04,520
I think they left it far too long to start releasing stuff because there was so much hype around that game for so fucking long

146
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,160
For basically the first half of the year. They should have been trying to pump something out

147
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:14,520
So it sort of fell off a bit but I agree with you. It was that game where I think there's potential to go back to it

148
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:20,760
Because there's so much shit there. I'll guarantee there's still shit there that people haven't discovered yet and all the different builds obviously

149
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:26,840
Me with the way that I game I found one build that I really liked and did not stray from that build

150
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:32,360
I just made it stronger and stronger and that was the strength tier the strength build with the mimic tier

151
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:39,240
Simple as that two big massive fucking swords and that was it and that's how I like to play it. Yeah. Um, but

152
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,920
Yeah, it was definitely one of those games and people are still playing it and trying out different builds and doing different shit

153
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,720
Because stuff is being added. It's just in terms of actual dlc

154
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:54,520
There's there's been nothing. Yeah. Well and so this new update is that going to bring you back to it?

155
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:58,840
No, no, no, but then does that at the same time? I think that we have both had

156
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,400
so many games that

157
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,880
It it almost doesn't matter that you're never going to pick that game up again, or you know, it's on a console

158
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,880
You don't even own anymore

159
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,680
But it stays with you. I mean jesus we're looking at there was a hit and run

160
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:15,880
We were just reminiscing about that yesterday and it was just someone on tiktok live playing it and

161
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,440
You're instantly you're back

162
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,000
But look at the last of us. I'm not going to go back to that

163
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,880
No, but would you agree that that was more of a like a

164
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,280
Linear, you know that was that was a story with a definite conclusion now

165
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:33,400
Yeah, it could be that I only saw parts of elden ring that I don't necessarily feel that same

166
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,160
Feeling of it being over, you know, there was no sort of walk into the sunset

167
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,200
I've completed my quest kind of vibe with yeah

168
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:47,240
I mean there were different endings to elden ring and obviously I went to game plus

169
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,160
Nine, I think so I did nine playthroughs

170
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,000
Jesus because the part of the first play well the first playthrough took me

171
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,640
Was like 40 something hours to do it. Yeah. Yeah, I was gone. I didn't see you

172
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,560
It was literally come home. Hi kiss. See you later. Yeah

173
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,400
Um, but obviously the the second playthrough I did it in like four hours

174
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:15,320
Because I because I just went to just beeline the bosses because obviously you retain. Yeah, you retain your level and all of that

175
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,720
So they progressively got quicker and quicker and quicker

176
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:23,320
so it it was definitely like definite definite endings

177
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:29,880
But not to the same style of something like the last of us the replayability is there in elden ring

178
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,760
Whereas obviously the last of us is well, it's it's story driven and that's it

179
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,360
Am I right that there was you could have like killed abby

180
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:43,000
You could have let her live there were no you couldn't kill abby. No, no, no

181
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,680
No, the the ending was when you was ellie and you were and you were strangled and I remember I sat there and I was

182
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:52,280
I was playing as ellie and I was going I dropped let I put my controller down didn't I?

183
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,320
I don't want to hit abby. I want to leave her alone. Yeah

184
00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,920
Um, but no you couldn't you couldn't because it ended with them basically trying to choke each other out

185
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,280
Yeah, and then they stopped fighting and then she ellie like they both went fuck this. I've had enough

186
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,520
Yeah, and then ellie went back and she was like, oh my god. I'm gonna kill her

187
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:15,560
And then ellie like they both went fuck this. I've had enough. Yeah, and then ellie went back to her house and um, she's gone

188
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,480
Her girlfriend's gone. I can't I can't remember her name. Um apologies

189
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:25,800
Um, because that was one of the things a lot of people were complaining about because they were like you've gone through like a 40 hour campaign

190
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,280
Yeah, you've got the last of us part one as well

191
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,520
so you've got like

192
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:36,360
Like 80 hours worth of content possibly even more preaching on the 90 maybe 100 hours

193
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,360
and it all boiled down to

194
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,200
Let's both walk away

195
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:45,000
Yeah, but I love the ending I was all over it because I looked at it way more deeply than that

196
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:51,880
I looked at it. I think how it was intended to be looked at I thought it was incredible because you're you're forced to

197
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:58,760
Realize that you you know that they make you see the first game from a completely different perspective

198
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:04,920
Yeah, where all she sees Joel as is the bloke who killed her dad and stole the thing that was going to help them cure

199
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:11,960
When we saw when we saw Abby smack the shit out of Joel with that that golf club fuming. Yeah, fucking fuming

200
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:19,320
But then when I see the fact that Joel shot her dad in the chest because he was trying to save the world

201
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,720
Yeah, it put such a big spin in it. I was like, what the fuck I didn't know that

202
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,800
Yeah, and that feeling that you have like

203
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,880
With with Joel saving Ellie. Mm-hmm, but then you do kind of have to think that

204
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:37,240
Of course the person who is you know, the people who are closest to that that person, you know to Ellie

205
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,600
Are gonna want to save her but then you know looking at the cold sort of science perspective

206
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,560
It's one life for for thousands tens of thousands hundreds of thousands whatever

207
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:55,400
Um, no, I thought that was very clever very clever and again making you players Abby when she walked back and the

208
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,040
Again terrible with names

209
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,040
But her you know

210
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,560
The dear the guy that she was fucking pardon

211
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,040
I was gonna say I was gonna say the fella that she liked

212
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:14,200
Um, but yes, uh, you know and then the woman who was pregnant and they'd like just finally become friends again

213
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,880
And then she finds her dad. Oh my god. You see Ellie as an asshole

214
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:23,000
Yeah, I hated Ellie towards the end. Like right at the end. I was like this girl's a bitch

215
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,440
She's a fucking bitch. But no, I thought that was because that I think took

216
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,600
An element of sort of like bravery, which again as we know a lot of people have

217
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,800
You know, I hate it. I don't like it which you're entitled to

218
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,600
But I thought it was quite a brave

219
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,080
They're not though are they fuck them because they've got their opinion wrong

220
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,200
We've gone way off of topic here

221
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,760
And we've covered we've covered the last of us before people know where I stand on it

222
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:52,840
I think I think the game and community as a whole got butthurt because you had to play predominantly as a female character

223
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:58,520
For most of the game. I think people got annoyed by that. I think they can go fuck themselves. I thought it was an incredible game

224
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,120
um

225
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,480
Probably leave it there get back to game of the year

226
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,080
Um, so

227
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,600
uh

228
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:13,160
This ties in well with the other thing in that god of war ragnarok was

229
00:17:13,860 --> 00:17:15,860
review bombed before

230
00:17:16,120 --> 00:17:17,160
um

231
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,660
The game of the year awards and so basically everyone on people on metacritic

232
00:17:21,660 --> 00:17:25,580
Uh were giving god of war a zero out of ten

233
00:17:26,380 --> 00:17:30,860
I'd imagine in the hopes to drag its rating down so that elden ring would then

234
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:36,700
Definitely win not that it has any fucking grass because game of the year is voted for

235
00:17:38,380 --> 00:17:39,500
And

236
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:41,500
I just think that's such a

237
00:17:42,220 --> 00:17:44,460
That's such a salty thing to do

238
00:17:45,340 --> 00:17:47,180
Because you're tarnishing

239
00:17:47,180 --> 00:17:50,940
A very very very good game. It is top tier

240
00:17:50,940 --> 00:17:57,500
But you will get people who they don't even necessarily care. They're just doing it because they want to you know, I think I think that

241
00:17:58,140 --> 00:18:03,660
Especially when something costs you nothing and you might be someone with x amount of like email addresses or whatever

242
00:18:04,220 --> 00:18:09,900
It I think you know, you probably find on reddit, you know, it's it's little groups of people that are like, yeah

243
00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:15,100
Let's do it because they've got nothing better to do discord mods. Well, yeah, and I and it's

244
00:18:15,820 --> 00:18:17,340
I mean you get it. I know

245
00:18:17,340 --> 00:18:19,500
being um

246
00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:21,820
a music fan I I tend to

247
00:18:22,380 --> 00:18:24,940
like I remember, uh, you know, it was this thing with

248
00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:32,380
I think beyonce and there was all of a sudden you've got this row with a rock band and beyonce fans

249
00:18:32,940 --> 00:18:38,780
And it's like we're taking down the bay hive or whatever it's called and you know, and it was like this massive the bay hive

250
00:18:39,740 --> 00:18:44,940
Fucking weird name. I imagine it's probably beehive, but I it has a y in it something. Beyonce

251
00:18:44,940 --> 00:18:50,460
Um, bae, I'll tell you and yeah, and all of a sudden you've got these people who would never communicate in real life

252
00:18:50,540 --> 00:18:53,820
And they're tearing each other new ones over who's trying to be number one

253
00:18:54,140 --> 00:18:57,580
And it almost doesn't matter what the music is. Well, it literally doesn't matter what the music is

254
00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:02,060
Yeah, I think you'll always get it's the same. It's nothing on whingeing for the sake of fuck

255
00:19:02,140 --> 00:19:05,420
Just trying to cause an issue there. Yeah for sure. Um, but

256
00:19:06,380 --> 00:19:11,580
At the end of the day, everyone knows how incredible of a game it was. The metacritic scores are

257
00:19:11,580 --> 00:19:14,860
Uh, yeah taking with a pinch of salt for sure, you know

258
00:19:14,860 --> 00:19:19,980
I mean because there's plenty of games on there. I can't remember any of the top made that have a shit rating

259
00:19:20,220 --> 00:19:22,220
But very good games. Yep

260
00:19:22,700 --> 00:19:25,020
Last of us part two. Yeah, and again

261
00:19:25,900 --> 00:19:31,180
With your true favorite things. I don't think i've ever looked at a review. You know, I think those things no

262
00:19:31,340 --> 00:19:37,100
Yeah, no, never yourself never I I stopped looking at reviews a long time ago

263
00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:43,900
So like in terms of it affecting whether or not i'm going to buy the game, which is very very um

264
00:19:44,860 --> 00:19:51,500
Ironic considering our last episode we sat here and spoke about um, calisto protocol and how the reviews had turned us off

265
00:19:52,220 --> 00:19:55,980
I don't think it was necessarily the reviews that have turned it off. I think it's the fact that

266
00:19:56,620 --> 00:19:58,620
We don't want to pay

267
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,220
45 quid for a 12-hour campaign for sure and yeah

268
00:20:02,220 --> 00:20:05,340
I suppose it's looking at it from a technical aspect in the sense that

269
00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:11,020
Like I often get um, i've got a huge wishlist wish list wish list on uh,

270
00:20:11,500 --> 00:20:15,100
The switch and often it'll come up and it'll go oh eight games are in your wishlist

271
00:20:15,660 --> 00:20:18,860
And uh, and it was you know, it was something literally like fiverr

272
00:20:19,660 --> 00:20:20,860
um

273
00:20:20,860 --> 00:20:25,660
And actually looking at reviews and the only ones that were really there were

274
00:20:26,620 --> 00:20:28,620
Um, oh really repetitive

275
00:20:29,180 --> 00:20:31,580
Um same soundtrack like just things about

276
00:20:31,580 --> 00:20:34,380
about um the actual

277
00:20:35,820 --> 00:20:41,020
Stats, you know stuff off the game. I think that's worth listening for you know, like you say it's a short campaign

278
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:43,900
You think oh, right. Okay, then, you know if it was there for a tenner

279
00:20:44,380 --> 00:20:45,740
You'd probably go for it

280
00:20:45,740 --> 00:20:50,940
You always see it on like stay on the steam library because you could it obviously it tells you how many hours

281
00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:55,340
Someone sunk into that game when they write a review. Okay, so if I put a review on of

282
00:20:56,140 --> 00:20:58,140
World warcraft isn't on the fucking steam library

283
00:20:58,780 --> 00:21:00,940
It'd be like fucking 10 000 hours. Yeah

284
00:21:00,940 --> 00:21:06,300
Yeah, um, and you'll always see it like they'll give it they'll give it a thumbs down and a really shit rated

285
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:12,700
And it'll say like 1500 hours playing they go this game was shit. It's like well you sunk 1500 hours into it

286
00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:17,100
Oh, i'm with you. I thought you're gonna be like 45 minutes. No, no, no, no, no like ridiculous hours

287
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:19,100
It's like you've like you

288
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:24,140
You deserve to write a review but at the same time it can't have been that shit because you've given up like a year

289
00:21:24,460 --> 00:21:27,100
To play it. Um, yeah, so it's very

290
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:33,340
I think I think reviews end up sort of taking over things like game of the year because people look at certain games like oh

291
00:21:33,340 --> 00:21:37,180
Well that had shit reviews blah blah blah and it affects more than it should do. Yeah

292
00:21:37,980 --> 00:21:39,100
so

293
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:44,700
Like I say the rest of the list. It's not that long. We've got best game direction went to elden ring

294
00:21:45,660 --> 00:21:51,820
Awarded for outstanding creative vision and innovation in game direction and design the design in elden ring was fucking mental

295
00:21:51,820 --> 00:21:58,780
The the different hidden places and the just absolutely incredible best narrative god of war ragnarok

296
00:21:58,780 --> 00:22:02,540
Oh, yeah, I think I agree with that. I think definitely for outstanding

297
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:10,620
storytelling and narrative development in a game 100 100 the story in god of war ragnarok

298
00:22:11,660 --> 00:22:13,180
when um

299
00:22:13,180 --> 00:22:14,940
When brock dies

300
00:22:14,940 --> 00:22:20,700
Fucking hell gut wrenching man. You know, I mean if a game brings you very near to tears, it's doing something

301
00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:22,620
I was crying. Yeah, that was what made me go

302
00:22:24,540 --> 00:22:26,380
I think it might have been

303
00:22:26,380 --> 00:22:27,580
the bit

304
00:22:27,580 --> 00:22:34,060
Where with his wife that really got to me and just the things that she was saying was so just like profound

305
00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:37,500
But they were doing something so simple like with her hands on the tree

306
00:22:38,220 --> 00:22:39,500
um

307
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:43,660
Yeah, and like again you it kept you that you're like kratos is gonna die. He's gonna die

308
00:22:43,740 --> 00:22:48,140
Yeah, you form the very strong relationship with mo with yeah, we're pretty much

309
00:22:48,140 --> 00:22:53,740
Such all of the characters there. Yeah. Yeah, so you got best art direction went to elden ring

310
00:22:54,460 --> 00:22:55,900
I think

311
00:22:55,900 --> 00:23:00,860
All the games that were nominators you got elden ring god of war horizon forbidden west scorn and stray

312
00:23:01,180 --> 00:23:07,820
I thought they were all very good looking games, especially um scorn of all the games there scorn. I thought

313
00:23:08,460 --> 00:23:10,300
it was very

314
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:16,300
Gruesome dark but very detailed and the sound effects because obviously i've only just played that

315
00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:18,300
Yeah, I really really liked it

316
00:23:18,380 --> 00:23:19,340
um

317
00:23:19,340 --> 00:23:22,300
Got best score slash music goes to

318
00:23:22,940 --> 00:23:27,900
Bear mccreery god of war ragnarok god of war has some real decent music. Yeah

319
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:31,980
Um, I won't do an impression of any of the music but very like deep

320
00:23:32,940 --> 00:23:34,940
Best audio design god of war ragnarok

321
00:23:36,300 --> 00:23:37,900
Hmm

322
00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:41,340
So I think I don't play games with a headset on though

323
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:45,500
So it's very difficult to get the full ash said it was very good with his breathing didn't he said that you

324
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:48,540
You he's doing breaths and stuff. Yeah, you could hear his breath. Yeah, it's quite immersive

325
00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:51,820
To be fair. I think the because obviously on the ps5

326
00:23:51,900 --> 00:23:53,100
I don't know if it's the same with the ps4

327
00:23:53,100 --> 00:23:56,300
But definitely the ps5 there was a lot of sound coming out of the controller itself

328
00:23:56,620 --> 00:24:02,620
And it always caught me off guard because it would be i'd be walking you can hear his axe like making noises off

329
00:24:02,780 --> 00:24:07,420
Yeah, and it would always catch me because I think what the fuck is that noise coming from and it was actually my controller

330
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:12,860
So yeah, I see what they've got that. Yeah, best performance christopher judge. Obviously he plays kratos

331
00:24:12,860 --> 00:24:18,800
Nice fantastic voice actor really fucking he deserved that 100% no one else on the list comes close

332
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:20,400
um

333
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:25,280
Games for impact as dusk falls i've heard about it. Haven't looked into it

334
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,800
Can't really say anything on it, but it's obviously one for a reason

335
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,480
Best ongoing game final fantasy 14

336
00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:38,000
Sorry ash, but destiny 2 did not make it you had apex legends destiny 2 final fantasy 14

337
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:39,920
fortnight

338
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:45,920
What the fuck was fortnight doing on there? Yeah, but it's so popular. Fuck me. It's so popular. You can't take it away from it

339
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,080
genshin impact

340
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,080
I know you've got a hatred

341
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,600
Absolutely rip off

342
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,640
Yeah, but look fortnight's on the fucking list

343
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,000
So all they do is rip off other fucking games. We've spoken about on the pod

344
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:07,680
I hate it fucking hate it final fantasy deserves that category as best ongoing game would have been interesting if

345
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,680
If world of warcraft had made it on that list

346
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,440
Because obviously they're both very ongoing. Yeah

347
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:14,880
um

348
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,280
And then you got here we go the big one best indie game. It was stray

349
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:27,200
Another game that we played together really really really like it. You had cult of the lamb neon white sifu

350
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,120
Stray and then tunic. So obviously I played cult of the lamb as well

351
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,400
Very when I because I've obviously voted on all these categories and I did vote for cult of the lamb

352
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,440
Yeah, but what did you vote for his game of the year?

353
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,200
stray, yep stray not because I thought it was game of the year

354
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:48,000
But because I would not to the developers of the people the people that made straffle you deserve that

355
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:54,320
You ain't gonna win game of the year, but you deserve you got your vote. Yeah, you bump the numbers up, but definitely

356
00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:00,240
Uh a toss between for me. Anyway cult of the lamb and stray for best indie game. I think cult of the lamb

357
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:07,280
Was the art style of it was absolutely fantastic and the the sadistic nature of it and the fact you could eat

358
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,600
Make eat someone make someone eat shit. Yeah, I found that incredible

359
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,720
Again, though once I completed that I dropped it

360
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:20,080
Good got no we've got no reason to go back to it honorable mention when I came in and you were like

361
00:26:20,620 --> 00:26:25,680
Genuinely upset because the one that you'd named after our brother-in-law was getting old

362
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,320
And you couldn't bear to look at this little old sheep version of al

363
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,400
Growing old and like dying and then you you ascended him. Oh, yeah

364
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,880
I sent him to valhalla didn't I?

365
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,720
I didn't want to see him die like that. So I made him ascend into a higher plane of being

366
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,760
Yeah, that was a good game man. I really liked that but stray. Um

367
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,960
Stray was so good. It was so unique and

368
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,920
And mark, I think mark has it or he's going to get it and he hasn't played it yet

369
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,680
But he's he's excited to play it. Yeah, because he says he's really gonna enjoy it

370
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:04,320
I just like the fact that a trophy for meowing like a hundred times. Yeah, press circle and you keep me out

371
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,920
And it was a very good game

372
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:06,720
um

373
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:12,720
I was a little bit dubious because I looked at the trophies first before playing it which I very very rarely do

374
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:18,720
Yeah, I don't give a fuck about trophies. Yeah and seeing the one that says complete it in under two hours. I was like

375
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,920
What? Yeah, we're gonna do this in two hours, but

376
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:28,080
After playing it's only I did it in six hours and something I think or eight hours and something

377
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:29,680
um

378
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,560
But yeah, very very very good game for

379
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,520
such a simple

380
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:36,640
uh

381
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,640
idea, yeah really

382
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,800
Yeah, and

383
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:47,600
No voice acting. I know but isn't that I find it's kind of like with a cat or a dog, you know a pet in general

384
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:52,320
You understood him. Yeah, like you're having like I feel like I've had conversations with my pets

385
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,640
Even though they've never said a word definitely and

386
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,680
And have you ever spoken about ruin here before

387
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,960
Uh, I've said that I've got a dog but you know how like

388
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,600
She's five

389
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,000
She had a hat and scarf on this morning. Um

390
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,160
and

391
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,160
But what was I going to say? Maybe my truck or four. No voice. That's it

392
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,240
When he finds out when he realizes that he was human the little doobly

393
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:28,160
And I remember we actually recorded it because I was like no no he speaks when he says that

394
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,320
Yeah, we went back and it wasn't like

395
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,280
But oh my god, I heard you could have swore they spoke grab getting the music sheets for that woman

396
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,520
Yeah, or not even women. It's a fucking robot. But still I knew you saw

397
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,640
everything in that game as as a

398
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,800
uh as a person as an actual being so expressive and

399
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:52,160
Yeah, you think that all that their face was a fucking tv screen with three

400
00:28:53,260 --> 00:28:56,400
Horizontal lines and yet they made that

401
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,040
They made their facial expressions

402
00:28:59,740 --> 00:29:01,740
incredible noticeable and it was

403
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,560
Very very well done. Um

404
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:11,040
They really really deserved to to win in some form of category and to win best indie game to to win your category

405
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:16,240
Yeah, basically to even be nominated for game of the year alone. I think is very very good

406
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,480
Um, and I never would have said when we watched this was it state of play?

407
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,720
Yeah, and you were like, oh steph is a cat game like you're like i'll get it for you or whatever

408
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:30,000
Yeah, because that got announced ages ago. I was all over this. Yeah, we had like no idea

409
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,960
Kind of what it was going to be

410
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,600
Because didn't we also see the one with like the fox and her babies?

411
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,360
Yeah, yeah, and that kind of was a bit more like cut and dry

412
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:45,520
Um, but yeah, I never would have expected such an experience from what kind of seemed to be just like oh you're a cat

413
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:51,840
And you went around so shout out to blue 12 studio for for developing that game because it's fucking incredible

414
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,960
And the fact that they left room for a sequel as well

415
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,920
Yeah, definitely you

416
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:03,760
You it stands alone well, but you could easily you could make a sequel out of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, very very cool

417
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,760
Uh next one best debut indie stray nice again

418
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,760
vampire survivors is on there

419
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,600
It's not the thing that you're playing was it

420
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:19,680
Vampire survivors is that the one that ash was playing? No, didn't you play something for a while as a vampire? Oh, yeah that um

421
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:25,920
Uh, yeah vampire survivors is the one that ash was on about. All right one that he was raving about but now

422
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Excuse me doesn't play anymore

423
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Lovely because it was that incredible anyway

424
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,600
Best bet here we go the big one the big one ash will love this because ash ash

425
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,360
Because ash ash what but I believe he watched all of game of the year

426
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:45,120
He watched it because obviously being on the night shift. Yeah. Yeah, and I know one then I don't know if it's the same in

427
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,560
in his area

428
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:52,640
Um, but on my area they do fuck all on nights. So maybe you had loads of time. I don't know

429
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:59,760
I'm probably wrong but um marvel snap was the winner of best mobile game of the year a game that I shot on

430
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:06,800
Played loved haven't picked it up for over a week. I feel like we really gave that the diablo immortal treatment

431
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,360
Oh god, which we're both completely obsessed with it

432
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:14,560
And then put it down one day never to be picked up again. Diablo immortal had so much opportunity

433
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,800
They they really had the the world in the palm of their hands and they fucked it

434
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,640
Yeah, I took stef to lanza roti for her birthday

435
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,800
And what was it free days and free nights? We was there

436
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,000
Yeah, something like that. Three nights four days. Three nights four days

437
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:36,400
We spent the entire time playing diablo immortal pretty much. Yeah, but to be fair. What more can you do?

438
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,600
We're sitting on a fucking volcano. There was that cool lady that one night

439
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,600
That was nice. She was cool. I feel like we had a we had a connection. Yeah

440
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:50,800
But yeah, would you remember no wait when we were really excited we came down to dinner and uh, there was a sign up for

441
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,280
What was going to be on that night?

442
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,520
Yeah, it was bingo and we were like, oh bingo. We've been moaning that there was nothing to do

443
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,000
and uh, and how we oh well, luckily we've got diablo because there's nothing to do and then

444
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,880
Uh, yeah, we saw this bingo and then literally in the course of dinner

445
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,600
Uh by the time that we'd finished eating

446
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,240
And we came up to the side and we thought shall we and then we well

447
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,360
No, let's go and play diablo and we did and we had some

448
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,320
Whatever film was on the channel the only english channel that we could find

449
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,560
Yeah, it was like fast and furious something like that. I think it was fast and furious. Yeah

450
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,880
Oh, just diablo to and then we come off holiday and just didn't play that game again

451
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:36,720
No, I'll tell you what it was you reached the I reached max level and then I had to start paying for shit

452
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,240
No, i'm good. I can't be asked for this

453
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,000
Yeah, and and what it did to me, I think I was probably maybe 10 levels away

454
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,880
And I lost all motivation because I just knew that when I was going to get there it was gonna be shit

455
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,960
So and I mean I do have

456
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:55,040
An affinity for avoiding the end of games. Um

457
00:32:55,660 --> 00:32:58,240
Massively still haven't done zelda

458
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:04,800
I still haven't done a lot of things. I know tomb raider. I still have done black flag my friend. That's fucking mental

459
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,880
It is mental. It's

460
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,040
You cannot well

461
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,560
I do and I don't understand it

462
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:17,520
So you you are notorious for not completing games when you love them so much because you don't want them to end

463
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:25,120
And ash is notorious for completing games and if he loves them so much platinum getting the platinum for them as a nod to the developers

464
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,760
You fall somewhere in the middle. I suppose

465
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,760
I do them as quick as possible

466
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,240
If I really love them, I'll put all my time in them

467
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:34,640
I

468
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,800
It's almost like not a conscious thing. I just sense that it's coming to the end

469
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,720
and then

470
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,680
It just becomes something will happen and I won't be able to play and then it'll get further and further away like I never

471
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,920
ever intended to not finish black flag

472
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,920
Because at that point you missed out man. I know fucking sick the portuguese man of war that you could get

473
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,480
Oh mama. No, I think I did have that fucking sick. But what the thing

474
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,720
And again, I was about to say we spoke about before but obviously i've never been on here before so that

475
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:10,320
It's what we've spoken about. Yeah. No, I know but I think I loved and I personally believe the very underrated

476
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,960
Assassin's creed which is assassin's creed 3

477
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,960
Yeah

478
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,240
Um

479
00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:20,480
And my biggest problem with assassin's creed 3 whilst I did finish it and absolutely love it

480
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,760
Was the boat mechanics were horrendous

481
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,920
Absolutely shocking

482
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,920
I think I showed you a clip didn't I?

483
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,560
terrible and

484
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,920
Um when it was like literally I remember

485
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,760
What have I been? I've probably in college. Um or finishing school

486
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:44,960
And it was like oh, yeah, and the next the next assassin's creed is gonna be you know, uh a captain of

487
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:50,640
Ships and he's gonna be this sort of like piratey vibes and blackbeard and I was like, oh fuck

488
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,920
Because it was just like

489
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,800
I hate is the only bit of assassin's creed 3 that I didn't like

490
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,360
and uh

491
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,520
And yeah, and I just thought here we go

492
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,960
But I still got the collector's edition and yeah

493
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,320
He's hanging on his little flag and I and I did really really love it and

494
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,960
And the sea shanties. Yeah

495
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,520
And yeah, I just I can

496
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,960
I seem to remember it was like exams and shit got in the way

497
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,840
And I think that christmas

498
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,360
Or must have been the christmas after no in me. It was probably the christmas after

499
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,480
I got an xbox one for christmas

500
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,040
and

501
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,040
I'm pretty sure

502
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,760
I don't know that they made it compatible because if you remember, I know you're not an xboxer, but

503
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:45,760
When that was announced they were like, yeah, there's like no backwards compatibility life. No, you can't play fuck

504
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,360
Like no and I remember I think I asked for dark souls two

505
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,520
And again, I i'm pretty sure I couldn't play it on the xbox one

506
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,040
So now i've got this brand new, you know, obviously it wasn't new but to me this brand new game

507
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,560
Like I can't play on my brand new console which just sucked

508
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,560
um

509
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,760
And yeah, I think it was just a little bit of that and i'm pretty sure now even now

510
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,560
what maybe

511
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,640
Eight or nine years later

512
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:16,240
That the black flag is still in my 360. I just haven't turned it on for all that time

513
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:19,680
But I just super intended to finish it, but it kind of birthed like a

514
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,840
An unfinished

515
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:27,520
Yeah in the sense but like but you're gonna have to finish zelda at some point because obviously they've announced the yeah

516
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:32,800
Tears the kingdom so you'll have to because what is it zelda? Which?

517
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:38,240
Breath of the wild is that the one is that no what is the one that you're playing? Oh, yes breath of the world

518
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,240
Yeah, but then i'm not versed in my zelda. I have

519
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,480
I have a lot of unfinished zelda games

520
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,280
Have you completed any of them? Yes

521
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,280
Which one?

522
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:57,760
I don't say one. How dare you uh ocarina of time. Yeah, of course. Um,

523
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,080
I've never finished majora's mask because it's too hard

524
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,800
Ash will be sitting there screaming. No, he won't he's not finished. He all right. No, this is the thing

525
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,840
This is where you know what I need ash sat here

526
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,200
I don't want to sit down want to talk to ash not you because you don't

527
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,760
We're not even going to get onto that zelda episode. Um, that's not happening

528
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,900
Um, i'm me and ash have spoken privately

529
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,920
But um

530
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,640
Yeah, no, and I think it I wonder

531
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,920
it's hard because

532
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,160
It's I think you don't know

533
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:37,200
whether

534
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,200
You're not playing it because

535
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,120
Of some you know

536
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:46,000
Like you you know, you say it's because I love it too much and I do think there's elements of that but at the same time

537
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:52,320
I can take the tomb raiders like the square enix tomb raiders that really shit collectors edition that you got

538
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:54,480
What do you mean?

539
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,400
the one with the torch

540
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,880
Why is that shit? What was the other thing that you got with it?

541
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,320
You got the statue of the torch my breathing. It's making me conscious. Well stop breathing into the mic. Sorry

542
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:11,280
No, that was amazing I was really impressed with that I thought you didn't like it I thought that was destiny two

543
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:16,480
Blue that was fucking destiny two, which I will never

544
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,560
Ever forget on my deathbed. I'll be raging about that for the end of time

545
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,200
How much does that set you back?

546
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,920
Over 200 over 200 quit and you've got a bag that no one in this world. No

547
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,280
Can you one of the broadest people i've ever met and it's too big

548
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,200
and then

549
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:42,000
Oh, and then my internet where I used to live was so bad that I couldn't actually even play the game. Yeah

550
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,080
That's the sore spot. But no the tomb raider one was amazing

551
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:48,480
And it hasn't depreciated in value either. Yeah, why do I feel like there was a tomb raider one that was shit?

552
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:51,600
No, no, no, but what I was gonna say is the game itself

553
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:56,560
So there was tomb raider rise of the tomb raider and shadow of the tomb raider was the third one and

554
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,040
Final and everyone knew it was going to be the final one

555
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,000
That's the one you haven't finished. Yes now

556
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,480
Rock tomb raider. I thought I thought was amazing because it was just so fresh and I just loved it

557
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:13,760
Rise I thought built on that for sure. It was amazing easily my favorite one of the three. Yeah now shadow

558
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:19,920
As I was playing it, it wasn't grabbing me the same way. It was just it felt a bit

559
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,800
not necessarily tired but

560
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,160
Kind of like, oh, sorry. I don't know why I did that

561
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,360
I just tipped you away for a second there

562
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,120
um

563
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:37,040
I think it just felt like a bit repetitive. Yeah, but you're right at the end though as well

564
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:42,880
I'm so you know, you know what you're there now. I've had to like relearn all the controls because it's been so long

565
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,640
Yeah last played it

566
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:50,480
Um, but it's literally the last bit and it's the same with zelda breath of the wild you are at the last

567
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,920
Yeah, but yeah, which I find is what's the crazy part of it is that it's not even like

568
00:39:56,240 --> 00:39:58,800
It's not even like you've stopped with five hours left

569
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:03,840
It's probably like half an hour was worth of game play and you've gone. Nope. I don't want this

570
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,840
Yeah, but you have to think though

571
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,520
so it came out in march 17 and

572
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,080
I

573
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,320
Played it quite a lot, but I was also

574
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,600
Going into my final year of uni

575
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,880
Which was ridiculously, excuse me

576
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,360
stress

577
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,360
so stressful, um

578
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,920
And yeah, and I just think that it kind of

579
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:33,920
It felt infinite. It felt like oh i've got ages. Yeah, yeah to play it. So I don't know

580
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:39,360
I don't know. Maybe maybe you can revisit at some point and you can play these various games

581
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:45,120
But then take rage that's came into my head today rage. Oh one or two one

582
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:51,600
I loved rage one. I didn't even buy it. I don't know how the hell I ended up with it. I think it came with

583
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:54,720
I think I needed to buy

584
00:40:54,720 --> 00:40:56,720
something or someone bought something

585
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:02,240
And they were like, oh do you want this? I don't want it and it was rage and it's like so fucking weird

586
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:07,520
It's over two discs and all shit like that. Don't do them like that anymore. No. Oh, no. Sorry

587
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,040
You keep fucking moving the mic away like that

588
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,000
It's my first time. No, you know what? It's because I can't breathe out my nose

589
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,000
I'm so conscious of breathing out the mic. I want to like

590
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,000
You can pull it away a little bit

591
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,480
You can still you can talk to it like that, you know, you can breathe

592
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,840
I know but i'm just worried that you're gonna play this back and it's just gonna be me going

593
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:30,000
I'm fucking doing it now. It probably will be but there's nothing we can do probably well, hopefully it's not that bad

594
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:35,440
There's nothing that i'm going to do so rage and I think I was so like as we all did loved skyrim

595
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,760
And I was so like when I saw it and I had I knew nothing about it and

596
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,880
Saw that it was bethesda and was like well, here we go

597
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:49,200
And it is a very similar feeling game. It kind of just felt like and I don't know if it's gonna offend anyone

598
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,600
I don't know how popular rage really was but

599
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,600
You know people are gonna be going

600
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:59,840
Um, it kind of felt like skyrim and like a different skin and you know, like well most bethesda games feel

601
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,440
Very very similar fucking look at outer worlds

602
00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:10,160
Ah class though. Yes, very good game ash didn't fucking like it and and that's the thing like I loved it

603
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,000
It's got a little place in my heart forever. I finished it. I really really enjoyed it

604
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,960
Had absolutely no interest in rage 2 whatsoever

605
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,440
Yeah, and I just think sometimes it's like

606
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:26,400
Yeah, and I just think sometimes it no one fucking did no, no one had interested it. I tell you what we could I mean, um

607
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,440
Have you said about the the eldering board game?

608
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,920
Yeah, I spoke about on the last one. You're not you're not caught up. Are you? No, i'm one behind

609
00:42:34,460 --> 00:42:37,760
apology deepest apologies you you aren't you aren't there

610
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:46,800
Sorry, I am very very very sorry. I've just had to fact check myself the outer worlds wasn't bethesda. It was obsidian

611
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:48,960
entertainment

612
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:53,760
Which is why oh, i'm so scared. I am which is why very very much

613
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:57,200
like bethesda because they basically are

614
00:42:58,720 --> 00:42:59,760
So

615
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,800
But I know I know I know what you mean most bethesda games

616
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:10,240
They they sort of it was they run off the same thing. Oh, I loved it. I loved it and I couldn't even really tell you why

617
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:11,680
but

618
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,680
It just and just so

619
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:15,680
um

620
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:16,720
I don't know

621
00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:18,960
And I don't think i'm because I don't have um

622
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:24,720
Many friends who any friends at all, but many friends who played games

623
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:31,120
It was always just me like until literally until pretty much I met you and I had a couple in like school, but not really

624
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,680
I didn't have xbox live so I couldn't really play with them. I just played like a free trial and then

625
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:42,000
Yeah, I did. The first thing I did was read dead online and was like immediately killed with a throwing knife undead nightmare

626
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,480
Oh, that was good. That was so good

627
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,480
And uh, and yeah, I just think

628
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,880
That rachel's class. I thought was class. I never played it. So I really I can't give you much

629
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,440
No, well much to bounce back on that while while i've got you on a public forum

630
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:57,680
um

631
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,680
Great. I can't wait for this one. Well, so when it was probably

632
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,480
Was it this year maybe and riz was like, oh let's play eso together

633
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:12,640
Okay, and I said, yeah, let's go for it. And then he got me. Okay this this

634
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,640
man

635
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:16,560
um

636
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,560
Or had me I was paying

637
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,000
for

638
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,520
ps plus

639
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:27,200
I'm not a playstation player. We first started playing it on the playstation. Yeah, have you playing ps plus and eso plus?

640
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:32,560
Yep, and then this motherfucker ghosted me. Bear in mind. We live in the same house

641
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,440
I'm the fool really honestly. I'm the fool

642
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,840
Um, yeah, he just left me for dust. It ended up being

643
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:45,520
Like what do you mean? I left you for dust. Well, I stopped playing me out. You string me out. Yeah

644
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,640
Yeah, I'll play it with you. I'll play it with you. I'll tell you what I'll tell you no

645
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,360
Go on. I'll let you finish first before I defend myself. Thank you, honey

646
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,600
um, and then finally one day I said are you still

647
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,200
You still playing for eso plus and he goes

648
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,720
No, no, I stopped months ago. It's like oh, so i'm 40 quid deep

649
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:06,720
uh

650
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:10,000
Not not just that i'm just 40 quid deep after he's stopped

651
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,000
Yeah, um

652
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:17,600
Plus sorry. Sorry plus 6.99 on each of those uh, 10 pound amounts

653
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,960
And then I got a computer for my birthday and we were like, oh cool

654
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,960
Let's reignite this this eso vibes now this time I was clever

655
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,440
Because I only paid 5.99

656
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,520
And I did not get hit this boy gets eso plus I did not get eso plus

657
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:38,720
Yeah, I was straight there with the eso plus because sure and you're like, oh get my craft back and I said no

658
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,280
because this is this is what happened and

659
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,680
You will understand and as well many people that they will understand

660
00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:48,720
world of warcraft

661
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,000
grabbed me by the bollocks when I was

662
00:45:54,540 --> 00:46:00,720
Pre-pubescent and hasn't let go so i've been with world of warcraft since day one

663
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:06,080
And oh do you remember when you were like guild master? That was intense. That was like a job. Yeah

664
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:11,360
Yeah, you're coming home from work and going to work. I was in charge of a community of like like 300 something

665
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:15,120
What was the really annoying one? Oh squiggle squiggle squiggle squiggy squiggle

666
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,040
That fucking bitch honestly, I think she was the beginning of the end for you with that

667
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,560
I'll tell you what the issue with that guild was and it really shouldn't shouldn't have been an issue

668
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:27,120
It should have been a brain child. It should have been the best thing about that guild is that it was so

669
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:33,700
So multicultural I had people in that guild from fucking all over the world and I thought that was incredible

670
00:46:33,780 --> 00:46:37,060
It was fantastic. But what I very quickly realized is that

671
00:46:37,620 --> 00:46:42,100
People's personalities clash and when you're from completely different countries

672
00:46:42,180 --> 00:46:45,060
Yeah, your views the way you say things

673
00:46:45,700 --> 00:46:50,340
I had that racist geezer that was in the guild that I had to remove very swiftly because he was

674
00:46:51,060 --> 00:46:53,140
you had obviously

675
00:46:53,140 --> 00:46:57,540
A lot of people spoke completely different languages every single one of them spoke english

676
00:46:58,500 --> 00:47:02,420
But a lot of them english wasn't their first language, but they still spoke english fluently

677
00:47:02,420 --> 00:47:05,620
So I was like that's that's really cool. Like I only know english and that's it

678
00:47:06,020 --> 00:47:09,220
um, but yeah, there was that guy that was speaking in

679
00:47:10,660 --> 00:47:13,860
Was it was it danish? I can't remember where I can't remember what it was

680
00:47:13,860 --> 00:47:18,500
But he was like massively racist and then someone like messaged me and they were like you do know what you're saying

681
00:47:18,500 --> 00:47:21,060
Right, and I was like fuck so I had to like but well

682
00:47:21,060 --> 00:47:25,620
And you were very much seen as just like it was all on your shoulders. You're like the fucking prime minister

683
00:47:25,700 --> 00:47:29,620
It was it was it was a fucking job. It really was and and and colin

684
00:47:29,860 --> 00:47:35,380
Um who who is like my my first ever like world of warcraft friend and we are friends

685
00:47:35,780 --> 00:47:39,380
To this day even on the times where i've sort of had a break and stopped playing world of warcraft

686
00:47:39,460 --> 00:47:42,260
We've remained friends and we we talk to each other quite regularly

687
00:47:42,740 --> 00:47:44,740
Um, and he even said

688
00:47:44,980 --> 00:47:47,780
Once you become a guild master it will go one or two ways

689
00:47:47,780 --> 00:47:52,100
It will either be the best thing you ever do or it will suck the fun out of world warcraft

690
00:47:52,420 --> 00:47:56,980
And it did and i'll have both when it started fun way and after that I quit for what like a year

691
00:47:57,460 --> 00:48:01,300
A while I just stopped. I went I ain't fucking doing this anymore. I was I've had enough of it

692
00:48:01,300 --> 00:48:03,300
But world of warcraft as a whole

693
00:48:03,700 --> 00:48:05,700
Is one of those games where?

694
00:48:05,700 --> 00:48:08,420
There's been many made like it but none that have ever

695
00:48:09,300 --> 00:48:13,620
Been the same level the closest you get to is final fantasy 14

696
00:48:13,620 --> 00:48:18,980
Yeah, and I always found that whenever i'd have a slight break from world of warcraft because over the

697
00:48:19,860 --> 00:48:21,460
I don't know. What was it like?

698
00:48:21,460 --> 00:48:28,820
13 years i've been playing it 14 years and whatever something like that. I've had very few breaks and whenever I would have a break

699
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:32,740
You would try and find something to fill that void

700
00:48:33,300 --> 00:48:38,740
Yes, which was very cool because my guild was actually called the call of the void. Yeah, very very cool

701
00:48:39,060 --> 00:48:39,780
um

702
00:48:39,780 --> 00:48:44,020
And you would always try and find something and I genuinely thought that eso

703
00:48:44,900 --> 00:48:48,820
Was the thing that was gonna do that's what we're actually talking about. Yeah, because I because I played it

704
00:48:48,820 --> 00:48:50,820
We started playing on the playstation

705
00:48:51,140 --> 00:48:57,540
And I liked it, but having come from playing an mmo on a laptop or on a pc setup

706
00:48:58,660 --> 00:49:04,360
You you just know that when they port something like that onto a console

707
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:10,120
It's never ever going to play the same because you are taking a pc game onto a console and that is such a difficult thing

708
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:16,360
To do because in terms of buttons and movement and layout and hud and ui and things like that on a pc

709
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,880
You can do fucking whatever you want with it

710
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:25,800
It's like if ash could stomach playing on the laptop. He would love daisy on that. I can guarantee you now

711
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:31,880
Oh, I can imagine that's better. Yeah, because it'll be so much easier to actually fucking do shit on that combat for a star exactly

712
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:33,640
so

713
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,620
Obviously, I stopped playing eso on the playstation

714
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:43,240
Um, what happened was I reached max level and started doing stuff on my own and i'm a very impatient man

715
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:49,240
And I just didn't wait. Oh my no, it'd be my fault. No, no, i'm not blaming you. I'm just saying i'm just saying I

716
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,440
I had the fear of missing out. I'm on i'm playing an mmo. I don't want to miss out on anything

717
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,720
And yeah, it just didn't hold me anymore. And then obviously started it on the pc

718
00:49:59,720 --> 00:50:05,240
30 and really fucking got into it. Yeah, we really really got into it and um

719
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:10,760
I got you know what it helped being in the same room as well. Yeah for sure, but I got so into it

720
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:12,920
That I was like, you know what?

721
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,080
Let's give world of warcraft another go

722
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:21,080
It's like my gateway drove back into world of warcraft. Yeah, and then yeah, that was it but I like

723
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:29,080
I felt guilty that I had resubbed to wow. I was scared to tell you because I was like I feel like

724
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:34,680
Cheating. Yeah, I feel like i've let you down. Yeah, and there's me just hanging on yet again

725
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:40,440
Not monetarily this time because I learned my lesson but like as you've tried world of warcraft before you didn't like it

726
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:44,200
No, I really tried. I really tried to love it. But you know what as well I think

727
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,080
having uh, literally other than like

728
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,160
the sims

729
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,080
Uh way back when?

730
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:56,200
And had a really sick game called otter's adventure. Shout out to all the adventure and digby

731
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:03,080
Um, and actually mulan while we're here the mulan video game was sick windows 95. I want to say

732
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,440
class, um, sorry and

733
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,920
Yeah, what was I saying? Oh, yeah

734
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:15,720
Having I played wow first on the computer. Yeah, really really struggling. I was like, oh, is this what it's like like gross

735
00:51:15,720 --> 00:51:19,880
gross, but then downloaded eso and it was just oh so much easier to

736
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,880
Obviously a completely different gaming style because it's it's it's not yeah

737
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:30,360
No, no, no, no, no, because world of warcraft is obviously is is buttons. It's it's cast bars

738
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:32,840
whereas eso

739
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,200
Still has a cast bar, but the actual combat is um

740
00:51:37,240 --> 00:51:40,040
What do they call it like skyrim? It's it's

741
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,840
What what's it called? What's that combat style called? I can't remember what it's called

742
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:51,720
But you you actually you you actually do you're holding a sword and your mouse is what's fucking moving that sword and like not like

743
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:56,360
Slashing but you've got a point you've got to move towards the enemies and and and yeah

744
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,600
To slash was the kind of the problem. Yeah

745
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:04,280
I just felt like I was just clicking where as wow is click on the enemy and then you've got your cast bars press fucking

746
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:10,120
One. Yeah number seven. I really wanted to love it because I think that i'm always kind of like

747
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:16,280
Wanting to play like play games with people in the sense that like i've got games that i've always played on my own

748
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:18,680
um

749
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:19,640
and

750
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:24,120
At the same time like ones i've really enjoyed like when I played away out with lou

751
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:28,040
And also um, it takes two with lou because you abandoned me on that one as well

752
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:35,720
Um mark banister came to that one first with a way out and it takes two and I do not regret my decisions because we had a

753
00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:38,040
Fantastic time playing both of them

754
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:42,040
Dear dear listeners, uh, he led me along he downloaded it

755
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:49,800
And downloaded what it takes two? Oh, yeah, but we and then we started and then he went no i'm bored. Jeff play with someone else

756
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:55,400
Which is fine because you know what I had a great time with lou because we were discovering it together and I would do like I do

757
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,000
Yeah, but you was taking you was taking forever. I my my patience

758
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:04,760
Yeah, my patience was in very quickly because you were struggling to jump on a box

759
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:10,280
Okay, I got annoyed with it, but you just said you had fun with you had fun with lou

760
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:15,320
Yeah, but when you first played when I walked in and you and mark playing it and you were just jumping up and down on like

761
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:20,360
A bit of poo. No, no, no, no, no, no, I drew a penis on a bit of paper

762
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,600
I think that's to do with probably playing it for the first time in which it felt old hat to you

763
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:30,040
Like I wonder if now if we swapped and I play the dude and you play the girl

764
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:31,880
It might be

765
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:38,440
More fun. No, I know we didn't I literally had to play the dude again. Yeah, and that's it. You got really salty and then is it which I

766
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,800
But you still enjoyed it and that that elephant scene

767
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:43,800
Holy shit

768
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:45,800
That was traumatic

769
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,880
My favorite memory of that game isn't even of when I was playing it

770
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,480
It's the recording when you're mark and you die in the middle of it

771
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,360
Oh when you're shooting down the bay hives and I went you do it you finally finished it

772
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,360
Yeah, I was like, oh my god

773
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:03,480
Shooting down the bay hives and I went you do it you finally finish and then just immediately die

774
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:07,240
I died just before the cut scene and we both cry to laughter

775
00:54:07,720 --> 00:54:10,840
Because you're obviously not supposed to die. That was so funny

776
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:16,280
that was great, honestly, like the the the real out of like

777
00:54:17,240 --> 00:54:23,240
Mark like you and mark's videos like those those clips when we used to watch them like in colnorton and every time that

778
00:54:23,720 --> 00:54:25,720
Forever in my head. Yeah, it's gone now

779
00:54:25,720 --> 00:54:30,680
You gave me the more memory stick or maybe we should crack that out or all the it was one of the memory stick

780
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,760
When we cleared out the drawer

781
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:38,360
Oh that memory stick unlabeled memory stick that hopefully didn't go in the bin bag that one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah that one has

782
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,120
We've always got the memory has like a hundred hours worth of clips on it. Yeah that one

783
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:44,920
Yeah, nice

784
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:52,440
I'm building them. Oh h1z1. What the fuck were we talking about? Oh god. Yeah h1z1. Honestly, we're just it's I found my email again

785
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:56,280
Didn't I have that or a picture of it of the h1z1? Oh, when you're in the top one percent?

786
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:01,960
It was 0.1 actually. Was it? Yeah, I'm gonna need independent verification on that.

787
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:04,760
No

788
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,200
Is that

789
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,320
That's colin coming online on world of warcraft good old colin

790
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,080
What was we talking about? Where did this come from? What were we doing?

791
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:18,920
Honestly, who can say this is like how most of our conversations we were talking about elder scrolls when we elder scrolls online

792
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,720
Oh, it would be because you couldn't um

793
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:26,760
Don't worry. I don't know. No, I was gonna say I was talking about rage and you're like, I don't know

794
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,640
So I said we'll talk about something. Well best community

795
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:34,520
We've managed to string out game of the year into an entire episode. That was fantastic

796
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:43,240
Best community support went to final fantasy 14 online can't comment but final so final fantasy is obviously is renowned for

797
00:55:43,240 --> 00:55:48,040
Um not being toxic their community are extremely helpful

798
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,480
And if you're a new player and I found that when I did play final fantasy for

799
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:56,040
12 seconds. Yeah for like a week and said yeah, this is better than wow

800
00:55:56,040 --> 00:56:00,440
And then I realized that I actually don't think it is better than well. Um, the community they were very nice

801
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,960
They were very helpful for them to me and can't fault them

802
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:09,880
Where was something like the world of warcraft community? Most of them are dicks, but they're my dicks. I'm used to them

803
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:11,640
I know how they work

804
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,160
We got better

805
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:14,440
best vr

806
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,440
Slash ar. Oh, go on. Okay

807
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:18,920
moss

808
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:20,520
Who's she?

809
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:25,640
Moss book two. Well done. You remember it's that mouse with the sword. Oh my god. Yeah

810
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,560
Yeah, yeah, I don't know anything about it nor am I interested

811
00:56:30,180 --> 00:56:32,020
innovation in

812
00:56:32,020 --> 00:56:36,760
Accessibility. Oh now we spoke about this. Yeah god of war ragnarok was the winner for that. Okay

813
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:41,160
I don't think that it should have been god of war ragnarok. However

814
00:56:41,720 --> 00:56:43,720
The last of us part one is on here

815
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:51,480
Okay, but then as someone who hasn't needed them maybe it's difficult for me to really talk about it

816
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:57,800
I I always saw as the last of us part two as the game that was incredible for

817
00:56:58,440 --> 00:56:59,720
accessibility

818
00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:03,880
But as you very rightly pointed out I have never ever

819
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:11,080
Have to use any of them of them options. Yeah, so it's very rare that I

820
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:15,560
I ever even look at them. Um, but I knew that the last was part two

821
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,440
Had very good accessibility options

822
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:23,400
So I think it just comes as a shock that god of war was on there because I haven't seen anything

823
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:29,240
About the accessibility options, but I think it's cool that that's a that's a category in game

824
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:33,880
That's nice. I know it has been for a while. I imagine a hell of a lot of work goes into making that those things. It must do

825
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:35,560
It must do

826
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:41,160
Yeah, very cool. But best action game again. I don't have much to speak about it bayonetta free

827
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:47,720
Yeah, I know nothing about it. I have no idea about bayonetta because that is just that is just a nintendo only game

828
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:49,640
Isn't it? I believe so. Yeah

829
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:53,640
And long anticipated people have been after bayonetta for a long time bayonetta 3 for a long time

830
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:59,480
I'm so removed from the world of nintendo and that is a shame for you. It's like splatoon's a winner on here somewhere

831
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,520
And I was like how the fuck is splatoon won something?

832
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:09,080
No, best action slash adventure game god of war ragnarok. Nice

833
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,680

00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:29,800
Best family game kirby and the forgotten land

838
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:37,480
That's amazing, which I don't know but you got lego star wars in there. Yeah, but it's so hard nintendo switch sports

839
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,960
Okay. Well, yeah, but then that's kirby's that little squishy bastard, isn't it? Yeah

840
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,920
Yeah, that little fucker best sports racing game grand to me granter ismo seven

Or thank god fucking clue. Yeah clue. We ain't touched it. No, we have no we remember with the christmas that we had the thing inside

844
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:04,440
There you go. Go on best sim slash strategy game. Go on

845
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:08,280
mario and rabid's sparks of hope

846
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:10,760
Haven't played it. I've never

847
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:15,720
I know there's there's quite a few in the mario and rabid series. I'm not a fucking clue, but you had june spice wars in

848
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,520
june spice wars

849
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:24,200
Oh, total war warhammer three two point campus victoria free. I didn't know there was a june game

850
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,080
That's during the book because it's all spice, isn't it? That was a weird film

851
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,840
If anyone's seen the film, can we all just reference the bit where it goes? Oh, whoa

852
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:36,040
Again, me and lois was sat in that cinema thinking what the loving fuck is this?

853
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:41,000
They like stood there and then yeah, this thing just starts like it's like mad music and yeah

854
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,440
It was I mean it was good but this one best multiplayer game

855
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:51,240
For outstanding online multiplayer gameplay and design including co-op and massively multiplayer experiences

856
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:59,480
Irrespective of game genre or platform. Okay, you have call of duty modern warfare 2. These are the nominees. Okay

857
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:02,440
multiverses

858
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:04,440
overwatch 2

859
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:08,680
Oh that that had your attention for a good like week and a half didn't it it did but again

860
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:12,040
Everything was too fucking expensive on that game. It pissed me off

861
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:17,640
Yeah, and I hated the fact that the people that I played it with ash and j shout out to both to both of them

862
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:20,200
um

863
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,600
They they were obviously on console

864
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:29,320
Because i'm on pc because I refuse to play it on console because I much preferred it on my on on on the pc

865
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:35,720
Oh, you did try didn't you? I did. I tried it on both. Yeah, um, it would fling them in a pc lobby with me

866
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:43,400
Oh, and there was no aim assist for the for the console players gross so I could spin like a motherfucker and and and have

867
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,040
100 accuracy

868
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:50,120
Poor ash and j have fuck all so they were getting battered

869
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:56,280
Yeah, so it weren't fair and then all the skins would cost an arm and a leg. It was fucking pointless ridiculous. I was very annoyed about it

870
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,440
Splatoon 3

871
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,240
teenage mutant ninja turtles shredder's revenge

872
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:03,960
Splatoon 3 won that

873
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:09,480
Call of duty modern warfare 2 is on there as best for a nominated for the best multiplayer game

874
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:11,800
I don't understand how splatoon 3

875
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:17,960
Has won that but you've never played splatoon 3 and if I asked you to explain the concept of splatoon

876
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:24,200
Would you be able to everyone's it's that paint game in it, but do you know what you do? But everyone's heard of

877
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:25,560
but

878
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,480
call of duty

879
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,840
Right. I don't understand but you've never played it

880
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:35,960
Is it how can you understand but splatoon 3 is only on nintendo as well, isn't it? Yes

881
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,760
I just find that incredible

882
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:39,960
Well, yeah

883
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,880
I really do

884
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:46,840
I I must admit so I don't have spoon three but I have splatoon 2 and you must get it so that we can see

885
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:48,920
What the hype is because on here?

886
01:01:49,540 --> 01:01:56,200
4.8 out of 5 stars 4.9 out of 5 stars 5.5 out of 5 like 5 5 out of 5 stars

887
01:01:56,200 --> 01:02:01,320
You know, I mean, it's got really really really good fucking reviews. Well, I will

888
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:06,200
attest to splatoon 2 being sick. I really enjoyed it and the only reason I

889
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,160
um kind of

890
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,440
Well, I don't I wasn't playing it by the time that you and I got together

891
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:14,360
um

892
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:19,640
Again is just a case of it kind of got a bit boring having no friends. There's a splatoon switch

893
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,240
Oh, yeah. Oh, I have the no, you know the pink and green

894
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:27,160
Uh pro controller I have yeah, that's platoon platoon seemed. Yeah

895
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:32,200
Um, no, I really do like it and I I do think that it's class and it's quite a unique way

896
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:37,900
Well that one and well done to them. Yes, blah blah blah content creator of the year ludwig

897
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:42,280
It's gonna sound awful. I have no idea who that is

898
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,480
Sorry, sorry

899
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,440
I got no fucking idea people gonna scream at me for that one. I don't know

900
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:54,460
Well, best esports after we're getting onto the weird ones now all the esports shit get me the most anticipated

901
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:56,840
most anticipated game

902
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:05,880
You have final fantasy 16 hogwarts legacy resident evil 4 starfield the legend of zelda tears of the kingdom

903
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,320
And it was obviously legend of zelda that one

904
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:11,240
Yes

905
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:15,880
Very cool beautiful. I am so excited even though I'm interested. Has that got a release date?

906
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:21,320
Um, you know what? I literally I want to say either next year or the year after but honestly, I couldn't tell you you have to

907
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,720
Google that but no I am so excited and I think

908
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,960
again, I know we spoke about as old earlier, but

909
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:33,800
Genuinely, I find them incredible and I think that they get a bad rap 12th of may

910
01:03:34,660 --> 01:03:41,240
2023 yes, that's predicted to come out and no doubt it'll be pushed back. Oh probably

911
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,440
But no, I do think that

912
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:48,600
They are they they don't get maybe they do they're starting to get the credit

913
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:54,920
But I think for a very long time they're written off of just being like, oh, it's just what girls play and they think there's gaming

914
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:57,560
but I do think that

915
01:03:57,880 --> 01:03:59,880
again

916
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:04,680
Um, you know, I said it I said it to ash like when we had that conversation about it like

917
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:11,240
It might not always necessarily land like I do think that there are some zelda releases that have missed the mark

918
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:14,280
Yeah, you're never going to be perfect when you're releasing quite

919
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,160
No, but I think that they

920
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,920
Consistently try and break the mold. Yeah

921
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,200
And i'm excited to see what they do because

922
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:26,360
I think

923
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:28,600
Having um, like the releases that were on the ds

924
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,080
3ds I should say

925
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:32,600
some of them

926
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:35,960
Did kind of fall flat in my opinion as a massive zelda fan. Yeah

927
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:38,280
um

928
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:43,800
And I think you know like games like skyward sword which really used the wii controller. Um

929
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:46,760
and and also um

930
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:55,640
Twilight princess which I actually recently, uh started playing again when I briefly plugged the wii in remember a while ago

931
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,160
I was playing twilight princess. What the one where you dress that

932
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,280
What what who are you?

933
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:07,720
I'm what you want about I don't know what you want about you're you become a wolf

934
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:13,720
God you really what the fuck are you on about? What zelda was I in the same room when you was playing this?

935
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:19,080
Yeah, and it breaks my heart a little bit that you don't remember but anyway, um, no, I don't I apologize

936
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,400
So i'm quite what i'm getting at is like

937
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:25,160
From the trailers it's seeming really sticking. So

938
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,120
again, not that you I have told you before but

939
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:33,240
There's no way that you remembered but the story isn't always the same but it's like always kind of a similar vibe

940
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:34,840
Yeah

941
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:38,060
Um, I remember you telling me that yeah, like you're not always in hyrule

942
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:42,360
Um, which is the land that is set in you're not always there. Um

943
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,400
Like in skyward sword you're in skyloft

944
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:47,880
um

945
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,880
Great. Yeah

946
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:51,880
Inimative

947
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:57,240
And uh, i'll be quite interested to see like again. I'm talking to someone who has not finished breath of the wild

948
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,080
breath of the wild, yeah

949
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:00,520
but

950
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:05,640
I want to know kind of what they're gonna there's a cat outside. Look at that kitty. Oh, there is a cat

951
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:08,680
Oh my god. I've not seen that cat before. Hello. Who the fuck are you?

952
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:15,320
But the door's shut she ain't I know but she's she doesn't like you but she likes me I know yes very nice

953
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,720
Anyway, if you continue, sorry

954
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:23,400
Um, yeah, i'm just quite intrigued as to how they're gonna sort of make it a bit different because I feel like they will

955
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,400
I don't think they're just gonna

956
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,400
keep that same

957
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:32,760
Um, you know the same kind of powers and I think it I think potentially to a certain extent

958
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:34,760
But i'm excited to see how they're gonna

959
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:36,680
build on that

960
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:38,120
Well, we've got a

961
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:39,720
Half a year to wait

962
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:46,200
I know and then you'll be able to grab hold of that one and never finish it and that is basically it for game of the year

963
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,080
That's it. There you go. Very good winners

964
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,760
Very successful. I enjoyed that. Um

965
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:54,760
Nice silence

966
01:06:55,320 --> 01:07:02,120
Honestly the cat really just threw I didn't think we was going to be able to squeeze quite a lot. That's decent. I know because um

967
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:04,280
I

968
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,280
I think it's

969
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:09,320
Predictable but not predictable at the same time

970
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:14,920
I think there's been like with eldenwyn god of war definite like you knew they were going to win most of the categories

971
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:19,320
But I've said it before I'd like I said earlier. I really love the fact that stray have won

972
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:23,960
One an indie game and that there are games that that I think it's a credit

973
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:26,680
to

974
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:27,720
a lot of

975
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,200
games that win

976
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:31,240
Um

977
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:35,080
That you've never heard of I quite like that because it you

978
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:40,280
Nine times out of ten you end up looking into those games where it makes you think fucking how have I never heard of this?

979
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:44,440
Because I probably will look at splatoon 3 even though I know I can't play it on anything except for the switch

980
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,960
But I'll be I'll look at videos of it to figure out what the fuck is going on

981
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,840
I'll look at videos of it to figure out what the fuck why is this so popular? Yeah

982
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,840
Um, so yeah, I know it's good. I like it and i'd love to know

983
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:59,080
how like what is the payoff in the sense that so if you're um

984
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,360
The people who made god of war are

985
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:04,200
What's the studio?

986
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:08,040
Santa Monica studio. Yeah, so if you're those guys and you're looking at this

987
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,360
Release up and coming like what was the decision behind?

988
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:15,720
If you could push that two months and it wouldn't have been up against elden ring

989
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,040
But then I suppose are you betting that?

990
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:21,480
Something that comes out next year. Do you see I mean like you know how we're saying earlier about how

991
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:25,560
you know, it has come out so late in the year and

992
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:29,800
The the percentage of people who have played it compared to those who have played elden ring

993
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:32,680
Is going to be so much lower

994
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:38,120
I wonder why you wouldn't just push it and have it come out the start of the year and then try and win the game

995
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:42,600
Of the year 23 or perhaps maybe they just kind of like weren't bothered. I don't well they

996
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:45,240
I think I don't think

997
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:49,560
things like game of the year matter as much to something like god of war

998
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,360
and probably elden ring in terms of

999
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:57,400
It's got its following. It's gonna be good an award doesn't mean that

1000
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:02,280
You don't have that gay the god of war ragnarok was always going to be incredible

1001
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:07,240
There was doubts as to whether or not it would live up to expectation. I think it blew his expectation

1002
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:10,200
Expectation out of the fucking water. I thought it was mental

1003
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:14,680
Um, and I think you'll struggle to find anyone that disagrees with that

1004
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:17,080
so I think

1005
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,960
They were they were just focused on

1006
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:27,000
Getting that game to go gold and then release and that's what they did obviously by going gold

1007
01:09:27,480 --> 01:09:30,440
It's fucking it's ready. Yeah, it's good to go. Um

1008
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:33,400
so I think

1009
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:39,320
A studio like santa monica isn't it's not going to be knocked by not getting game of the year because I think it's one

1010
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:44,200
Of those where you understand that despite elden ring winning game of the year

1011
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,640
It's sort of like you can you can picture

1012
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:55,400
Elden ring and god of war both shaking hands in in respect to each other and going we both know that we're we're the shit

1013
01:09:55,960 --> 01:10:01,720
Yeah, simple as that. Yeah, and I guess as I say there's no guarantee that you wouldn't be up against something equal next year

1014
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:05,160
Exactly exactly but then at the same time like it's won a lot

1015
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,520
Yeah, you know, it's like you might not have what is it?

1016
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:13,800
Win the battle lose the war that kind of thing like they've they've they've won a lot god of war have won a lot bearing

1017
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:18,040
Mind, what has it been out like a month? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's impressive

1018
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:21,960
It is really impressive and then you got the fucking collectors editions and all that shit that will come with it

1019
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,840
It's it's incredible and so the stuff that um

1020
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:27,720
That comes off of that

1021
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,120
Um, I think is really great

1022
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:34,520
Uh, well like the elden ring board game. Yes, that looks fucking crazy

1023
01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:38,920
I'm just not paying that dough for it. The last of us one will have to do um

1024
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:43,240
Oh god, yeah, I forgot that's the one you actually got. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's exciting. Okay next year

1025
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:45,240
What made you not pick up horizon?

1026
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:50,760
When interested in it, you know, I never completed um horizon the first horizon

1027
01:10:52,440 --> 01:10:54,520
But there was a point where you were like so obsessed with that too

1028
01:10:54,520 --> 01:11:00,120
I was proper into horizon and I got about two-thirds of the way through and I have this thing

1029
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:04,280
Where if a game is massive and open world?

1030
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:11,400
And it isn't world of warcraft. I just I lose interest in it unless it's really really grabbed me

1031
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:13,720
I wouldn't have said that was any bigger map than elden ring though

1032
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:17,880
Yeah, but elden ring really grabbed hold of me. Whereas

1033
01:11:18,440 --> 01:11:23,000
Whereas horizon I just maybe the story just wasn't as good as I was hoping for it to be

1034
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:28,760
Um, I don't know. I won't ever go back to it and try and complete it. I just won't. I'm not interested. Um

1035
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:32,920
I feel like I've missed out there but at the same time i'm sort of like meh

1036
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,800
I can't bother because I did really like it. Yeah

1037
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:41,160
Yeah, I know well, I think when we met you'd sold your copy and then you were like, oh actually

1038
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,760
I wish I'm sold now and then you got the digital version and played it again for it

1039
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:51,800
But horizon um forbidden west had a really really rough release because it released alongside elden ring

1040
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:52,760
It's harsh, isn't it?

1041
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:57,320
And it's like yeah, you you were you were never going to be in the spotlight when you released against

1042
01:11:57,320 --> 01:12:00,760
Against a game like that next to a bionta album. Yeah

1043
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:09,640
You're gonna attract the beehive. It just was not going to happen. Um, bless him. Yeah, so I think i've got

1044
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:12,200
Before I forget. Yeah

1045
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:15,240
Okay

1046
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:20,840
A message from ash. Where's the pod? I keep refreshing and want to listen. I'm a fan over here

1047
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,440
I got to answer a question from sam parkes. So he said on the twitter

1048
01:12:26,440 --> 01:12:29,480
He said did you guys manage to beat the berserkers and

1049
01:12:30,440 --> 01:12:33,640
I watched the youtube video on it and I think it's called jeena

1050
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:36,520
Um, but it's gna

1051
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:38,520
So in my head I say gna

1052
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:40,520
It might be gna

1053
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,520
But we'll say jeena

1054
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:47,080
Obviously in god of war you remember the one berserker that I come across

1055
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:49,080
With the like ice all around you

1056
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:54,600
Yeah, yeah, you touch the stone in the middle with the key and then that thing come out and I killed it and it said

1057
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:59,080
And it said one out of 12 and I went 12. There's 12 of them. Well

1058
01:13:00,440 --> 01:13:05,800
I didn't actually uh, did I ask his fucking question? I didn't did I he he just said he said

1059
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,920
Yeah, did you guys manage to beat the berserkers and jeena?

1060
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:14,280
No, is your answer sam? No. No, I fucking haven't I I won't lie. Um

1061
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:19,960
Dragonflight released on world of warcraft. I just haven't touched the playstation. I just haven't

1062
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:26,440
Uh exactly what I predicted world of warcraft has taken over and i've done exactly what I knew would happen

1063
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:32,760
Whereby I've got a character to max level and have decided I want to play a different character

1064
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:36,440
So all the hours that i've sunk into world of warcraft so far

1065
01:13:36,440 --> 01:13:40,920
I've all been reset this expansion because I decided I want to play something else

1066
01:13:41,480 --> 01:13:43,880
Having played a different class for the first time in your life

1067
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:46,600
Yeah, uh

1068
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:53,800
I'm not gonna be a tank stuff. I'm really excited but mark is on the war path for these berserkers

1069
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:59,320
He's he's got his he's he's angry about it and when he gets angry

1070
01:13:59,960 --> 01:14:02,600
He he get he switches it off. So

1071
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:08,680
Last time he lost berserkers that he went against I thought it was bad with one

1072
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:10,760
But he said the ones he went against there was three

1073
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:16,520
Three at once and he said he died once and thought no i'm gonna put my head through this telly

1074
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:20,200
I'm turning it off but inevitably on monday when I pick him up for work

1075
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:26,840
He'll probably talk to me about how he tried it again. So he will almost definitely get all them berserkers done

1076
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,640
Gina on the other hand is the

1077
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:32,360
final valkyrie boss

1078
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:38,920
From the crucible trials now when I played god of war I only did two crucible trials because I just couldn't be bothered

1079
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:42,120
I couldn't be bothered because I remember from the first god of war

1080
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:44,840
um and at that when I'm in

1081
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:52,920
Ragnarok, I already had the gear that I wanted. Um, I was already like sort of two-thirds of the way through

1082
01:14:53,480 --> 01:14:57,720
So I was I was sort of like man. I'm not i'm not massively interested in this

1083
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:03,080
There's trophies to be had there. So when or if I go and decide the plan of it, then i'll have to go back to it

1084
01:15:03,480 --> 01:15:05,400
Um, but to answer your question sam mate

1085
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:10,200
We I I ain't fucking touched it if i'm honest world of warcraft's taken over, but hopefully

1086
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:12,120
mark

1087
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:16,520
Will come will be our savior on this one and we'll get it done because he is

1088
01:15:18,580 --> 01:15:20,020
75

1089
01:15:20,020 --> 01:15:25,000
70 something percent way through on the trophies. He's only got like four four trophies left

1090
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:30,280
See, I think you played you played them very differently as an observer of you playing both of them again

1091
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:35,000
It was one of those ones god of war was sat on your little pile and you were like, oh, yeah

1092
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:39,480
I got it and nah not fast and then download it again and then deleted it again and then download it again

1093
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:43,480
Tell me about four tries. Yeah over years like literally years. Um

1094
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:48,840
And I think yeah, you played that sort of a lot more casually and I think the ending you know

1095
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,880
You came out of it loving it and bought the leviathan axe. Mm-hmm

1096
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:53,880
um

1097
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:57,240
Which I forgot to bring over actually. Oh hobson's probably scratched the fuck out of it. Oh

1098
01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:00,280
No, he won't have his mind

1099
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:02,840
Um

1100
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:04,840
And yeah, but whereas I think this time around

1101
01:16:05,480 --> 01:16:08,280
Like I think that it's not that you were necessarily rushing

1102
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:10,600
I think you were like, I mean you've spoken about it on the pod

1103
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:13,320
But you know you did you were taking time and enjoying it

1104
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:17,480
But there was a sense of urgency that I think that you didn't have with the first one

1105
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:18,760
Yeah, yeah

1106
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:25,960
because I think which probably comes more from just an excitement and a higher investment because you no longer needed convincing that you loved the

1107
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:27,960
Game. Yeah, I was already new

1108
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:32,920
Where as I think of the first one it like I remember I remember you being like this is shit. Yeah

1109
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:37,800
I missed a trick. I hate this. Well, so ash wanted to fucking throw me in a chipper over it

1110
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:42,920
Yeah, I mean he was he was genuinely angry about it. It was the first conversation I had with him. Yeah

1111
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,960
Yeah, I didn't really like it. What the fuck get get out of this van

1112
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:50,760
Yeah, and you are I don't mean in a mean way, but I think you're quite a fickle gamer in the sense that

1113
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,320
Thank you. It has so much

1114
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:55,320
No, no, I mean that you

1115
01:16:55,320 --> 01:17:01,400
Are you not supposed to take that you're quite fickle? No, no, I said you're a fickle gamer. There is a difference

1116
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:07,640
I don't mean to like, you know psyche value, but I think that it has to like maintain your attention

1117
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:10,280
In like a perfect balance

1118
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:15,560
Because I think that with you if you lose you you lose you forever. Like you've just said about horizon

1119
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,000
And there's so many games or even overwatch

1120
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:22,840
You you go from you're texting me in the middle of the day going

1121
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:27,800
Oh my god, I just want to come home and play overwatch 2 so bad. I can't concentrate like um

1122
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:29,880
to to literally

1123
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:36,920
The next day you're like no never there has to be a goal a reason for me playing. I have to feel some form of

1124
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:42,600
Of value and reason for why i'm playing this game. I think you value your time quite highly don't you?

1125
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:45,720
You know massively when it comes to gaming. You don't like wasting time

1126
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:50,120
Yeah, I don't want which is mental because you know play world of warcraft unless you're having a poo on tiktok

1127
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:56,600
And then you waste quite a lot of time a lot of time. Um, but yeah if if especially if it's something like a story driven game

1128
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:01,320
If that shit ain't grabbing me I ain't playing it because I can't be asked to waste the time on it

1129
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:02,840
um

1130
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:03,720
so

1131
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:04,600
Yeah, yeah

1132
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:10,680
I agree that there's been a lot of games that are absolutely incredible that i've played and just haven't finished because I just can't be bothered

1133
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:16,360
Yeah, metro exodus really good game, but I uh, it just didn't grab me fucking. Um

1134
01:18:17,140 --> 01:18:19,140
assassin's creed origins

1135
01:18:19,140 --> 01:18:23,460
Just didn't that I mean because that's grim the new format of assassin's creed fucking horrible

1136
01:18:23,540 --> 01:18:28,020
But people love it assassin's creed valhalla people really like that didn't grab me the witcher

1137
01:18:28,420 --> 01:18:33,700
Yeah, didn't grab me literally meg my best mate never so all the while I was playing assassins any game

1138
01:18:33,700 --> 01:18:39,860
Whatever I was playing all through school. Not a single thing interest and then literally one day she played. Um

1139
01:18:40,820 --> 01:18:43,700
Odyssey on her brother's xbox

1140
01:18:44,500 --> 01:18:47,700
Um, what's it odyssey? What's the other one? What's the one with the red?

1141
01:18:47,700 --> 01:18:52,660
And yeah, it is odyssey. You got odyssey and you got origins. No, yeah, it is odyssey and she went from

1142
01:18:53,220 --> 01:18:55,220
Literally just playing it because she was bored

1143
01:18:55,300 --> 01:19:01,140
To she absolutely grinded the living shit out of it. She now has her own xbox. She plays it all the time

1144
01:19:01,220 --> 01:19:03,060
She played literally every day

1145
01:19:03,060 --> 01:19:07,220
Um, they've got a ps5. They've got a switch like oh, she's she's a complete gamer now. Um

1146
01:19:08,420 --> 01:19:14,900
And that was something who never was and it's just so odd to see this like living proof of someone who wasn't even remotely interested

1147
01:19:14,900 --> 01:19:21,220
In two in brotherhood revelations like any of that when I so was and I think that you and I

1148
01:19:22,340 --> 01:19:26,100
Bear in mind our first ever conversation was literally about assassin's creed

1149
01:19:26,900 --> 01:19:31,380
To kind of have that love just be like murdered by this absolute repetitive shite

1150
01:19:32,900 --> 01:19:38,020
Sorry, if i'm offending any origins lovers you ain't offending anyone because it was absolute god-awful shit

1151
01:19:38,100 --> 01:19:43,140
And i'm all for like moving forward and okay. Yeah, if i'm trying new things

1152
01:19:43,140 --> 01:19:48,580
Yeah, but don't label it as assassin's creed anymore because it ain't it just isn't and all the

1153
01:19:48,900 --> 01:19:52,180
Because everyone was saying that the voice acting was incredible in that game

1154
01:19:52,580 --> 01:19:58,980
Where was this incredible voice acting that everyone's talking about move around? Oh fucking hated it an unlocked

1155
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:06,660
Cutscene in what world do you want an unlocked cutscene? You'd walk away from the bloke and you'd be like oh shit he was talking

1156
01:20:06,660 --> 01:20:12,980
I'd just disappear because it because you can move around in the cutscenes. It was fucking awful

1157
01:20:12,980 --> 01:20:18,020
Man, and the line delivery was like this and everything was the best voice acting in the world

1158
01:20:18,020 --> 01:20:21,940
I don't know how anyone could possibly think that this is good. I am egyptian

1159
01:20:22,180 --> 01:20:26,660
It was like this. Yeah, I i'm egyptian. Don't you notice I have a slight twang in my voice

1160
01:20:27,140 --> 01:20:31,220
Denoting that I'm in fact egyptian. It really didn't fucking resonate with me

1161
01:20:31,860 --> 01:20:36,660
Fuck it the new the new assassin's creeds. They just don't I think that I don't like them

1162
01:20:36,900 --> 01:20:41,220
We and I will vouch for you that we really fucking tried tried so hard to love

1163
01:20:41,220 --> 01:20:46,260
We really tried and I really like assassin's creed. My guy you downloaded valhalla and never once have opened it

1164
01:20:46,580 --> 01:20:50,580
I downloaded valhalla and I played about 20 minutes of it and I went nah this ain't for me

1165
01:20:51,140 --> 01:20:55,620
Uh, and I knew this isn't the type of game where I have to give it another go to see if it's dead

1166
01:20:55,940 --> 01:21:01,700
Yeah, I I looked at the size of the map. I felt the gameplay for a little bit and I went nah

1167
01:21:01,940 --> 01:21:06,980
I can't I can't be bothered for this because i'm gonna have to force myself to play this. I um

1168
01:21:06,980 --> 01:21:14,020
Um, I can be fucked bear in mind you literally have a syndicate tattoo on your arm. Neither of us finished it

1169
01:21:14,820 --> 01:21:16,820
Neither has finished syndicate

1170
01:21:16,820 --> 01:21:19,860
No, um, I tried and I really liked unity

1171
01:21:19,860 --> 01:21:24,580
I tried to really like unity and I got to this bit and i'm not very far in at all

1172
01:21:24,740 --> 01:21:26,740
No, we didn't like rogue though, did we?

1173
01:21:28,180 --> 01:21:33,700
But unity and I was trying so because it was shit on unity and massively for its bugs

1174
01:21:33,700 --> 01:21:38,980
And yeah, and I literally over this bit and I was so fucking hard and I chopped this guy in some

1175
01:21:39,700 --> 01:21:41,700
church thing and

1176
01:21:41,700 --> 01:21:45,380
Scaling down and I just got stuck and I lost like oh god

1177
01:21:45,380 --> 01:21:49,220
It was like 45 minutes of stuff and I just thought no, you know what? I haven't picked it up since literally

1178
01:21:49,220 --> 01:21:51,220
I was like get fucked. Yeah, um

1179
01:21:51,460 --> 01:21:53,460
Because I was kind of like already mad at them

1180
01:21:54,100 --> 01:21:56,740
because i'm all for like i've very much been someone who

1181
01:21:57,940 --> 01:22:00,260
Depending on the game. I don't necessarily care about

1182
01:22:00,260 --> 01:22:06,100
Getting it like super early like especially if I haven't finished one like I didn't buy syndicate for years because I hadn't finished black flat

1183
01:22:06,100 --> 01:22:09,460
Yeah, to be fair. I didn't get syndicate for a while. I didn't get it straight away

1184
01:22:09,460 --> 01:22:17,220
Yeah, because I think I want to say that was 16. It was a while, but I think revelations is my number one or assassin's creed too

1185
01:22:17,940 --> 01:22:21,220
Yeah, they're my they're my like my top tier and it

1186
01:22:21,860 --> 01:22:23,060
Brotherhood though

1187
01:22:23,060 --> 01:22:27,860
Brotherhood was fucking sick. They they were all good and then and then it and then it changed and like you say they've changed

1188
01:22:27,860 --> 01:22:33,300
So was the third one they changed the the style of it. I think syndicate was the last

1189
01:22:34,020 --> 01:22:38,260
That last sort of I want to say so and then it and then it started changing in it

1190
01:22:38,260 --> 01:22:43,540
Yeah, it just it just I weren't interested in it and i'm happy for the people that love it. I really really am

1191
01:22:44,180 --> 01:22:46,180
Um, i'm not fuck them

1192
01:22:47,220 --> 01:22:52,740
Yeah, but then how long how long could you have played that same format really?

1193
01:22:52,740 --> 01:22:57,780
Well, they're fucking doing it with this new format. Oh god. Yeah, but aren't they bringing back something? That's very similar

1194
01:22:57,780 --> 01:23:03,700
Yeah, you got all the new assassin's craze. There's about fucking 13 of them that they're releasing in one single place

1195
01:23:04,580 --> 01:23:07,460
I will get them. Of course I will. Yeah

1196
01:23:08,740 --> 01:23:10,740
Yeah, that's that's

1197
01:23:11,060 --> 01:23:17,540
It's sad. I do think that it's my sad assassin's creed life. Yeah, what's but I can't remember what sparked that at all

1198
01:23:18,340 --> 01:23:20,340
I think I called you figal

1199
01:23:20,340 --> 01:23:22,340
I think I called you figal

1200
01:23:24,500 --> 01:23:30,580
I was attacking your personality. Yes. Thank you. Thank you proceeded to list all the games that I didn't want to play

1201
01:23:31,860 --> 01:23:33,860
Yeah, um, so

1202
01:23:34,500 --> 01:23:39,080
I think that's about sums it up. Don't it we'll leave this podcast on the fact that i'm fickle

1203
01:23:40,580 --> 01:23:44,020
Fickle darling fickle. Oh, I can't fickle it has to be fickle

1204
01:23:44,020 --> 01:23:50,100
No, you can do you can say whatever you like you can say whatever you like should we quickly look at the old score

1205
01:23:50,900 --> 01:23:57,380
Oh argentino winning two nil against neverlands. No, no, I don't I just didn't want argentino to win

1206
01:23:58,340 --> 01:24:02,340
I wanted messy to not get that world cup because i'm cruel like that

1207
01:24:02,900 --> 01:24:08,980
Asher sent me a message again saying shout me out. I'm the bit i'm the pod's biggest number one fan whoop whoop

01:25:10,580 --> 01:25:14,660
Yeah sponsored by muller rice for deklam rice for rice rice, baby

1226
01:25:14,900 --> 01:25:20,420
There's a small level of inevitability there. I think but this motherfucker was interviewed about it

1227
01:25:20,500 --> 01:25:23,620
They made him play it and you know, no, no, no, no, no, we ain't gonna play it

1228
01:25:24,100 --> 01:25:26,420
Because I can't find it. I will find it

1229
01:25:27,140 --> 01:25:29,540
No, because it's a long song as well. I don't play the whole thing

1230
01:25:29,860 --> 01:25:32,980
The the public deserves a snippet of the marvelousness

1231
01:25:32,980 --> 01:25:36,900
But they made this poor man stand in front of a of a of a camera crew

1232
01:25:37,540 --> 01:25:40,900
And it's amazing and sit there singing rice rice, baby

1233
01:25:41,300 --> 01:25:47,380
In front of a stadium and we know how anxious ash can get as most fucking people with a camera pointed in their face can get

1234
01:25:47,700 --> 01:25:53,700
I would be exactly the same. I just think the fact that the man's received fucking nothing for it is mental

1235
01:25:53,860 --> 01:25:59,780
I want deklam rice to like sue these people. I want deklam rice on this podcast and I want him explaining himself

1236
01:25:59,780 --> 01:26:03,060
Maybe we get some listeners off of it. What's ash's twitter handle?

1237
01:26:04,660 --> 01:26:08,020
I don't have a fucking clue. Ash, what's your twitter handle? You just have to leave it and I'll

1238
01:26:08,580 --> 01:26:10,980
Yes, I will get him to play it on the podcast next week

1239
01:26:11,460 --> 01:26:17,220
But for now it's an hour and 26 minutes in I can't be bothered to carry on we're gonna leave it there

1240
01:26:17,620 --> 01:26:19,620
This has been absolutely fantastic

1241
01:26:20,340 --> 01:26:22,340
Thank you everyone for listening

1242
01:26:22,660 --> 01:26:28,900
Um, don't forget about the patreon tier that's gonna come out next week. Hopefully if I don't fuck it up, um, look forward to that

1243
01:26:28,900 --> 01:26:30,660
uh

1244
01:26:30,660 --> 01:26:32,660
Yeah, oh what?

1245
01:26:35,620 --> 01:26:41,860
Do I get to say it am I allowed? Yeah, probably probably so an honorable uru so

1246
01:26:43,060 --> 01:26:46,340
So we will leave it there. Thank you so much everyone for listening

1247
01:26:46,340 --> 01:26:58,340
Oh, right
