of breath now. 200 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,640 Absolute, absolute cheek. 201 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,080 That was an absolute waste of time. 202 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,800 No, I thought I need to explain so that people don't think I'm nuts. 203 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:41,480 Go on then. 204 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,320 You've been running to the door. 205 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,040 When we bought before we bought this house, it was empty for a long time. 206 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,520 And I think that we live behind a Chinese, which sounds like. 207 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,240 And a petrol station. 208 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,040 A bit strange, but. 209 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,320 The Chinese is banging. 210 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:55,880 It is really good. 211 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,640 Chinese takeaway, not just like Chinese people. 212 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,040 Oh, God. 213 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:00,280 Yeah. 214 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:00,760 No, no, no. 215 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:01,880 It's a Chinese takeaway. 216 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,400 No, no, a Chinese takeaway. 217 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,680 We live behind the Chinese. 218 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,880 That makes me sound awful. 219 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,960 Chinese takeaway and a petrol station is handy. 220 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,760 The only thing I can think of is it used to happen a hell of a lot more when we first moved in. 221 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,880 You really ran, didn't you? 222 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,160 I really did, and I shouted. 223 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,480 I did shout because I was waiting for Royal Mail. 224 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,480 It's been a very stressful couple of weeks. 225 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,320 And someone just pulled in really slowly, pulled right in. 226 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,760 Looked like they were going to do something. 227 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,520 And then by the time I get down to the door, Reese looks. 228 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,400 Oh, they're pulling back out because they've just wanted a big, nice flat turning circle. 229 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:37,720 Yeah. 230 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,240 Park up to get their Chinese. 231 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:39,400 Yeah. 232 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,120 So I did open the door and I did shout, we're not a car park. 233 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,080 There's no way they heard me. 234 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,200 But I've half a mind to go out there, walk out and just look me in the eyes. 235 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,400 They say I'm dressed like. 236 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,640 There's a section of tarmac that is just outside the driveway. 237 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,360 And it is so fucked because we have a garage that little like a car garage 238 00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,560 that's next to us as well. 239 00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:04,200 So you've got a car garage, petrol garage, a fucking Chinese takeaway and us. 240 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:09,640 And it's like everyone that owns these places owns this little plot of like tarmac. 241 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,760 We all have right of access. 242 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,080 And so because of that, no one wants to pay to re tarmac, like resurface it. 243 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:17,880 So it's fucked. 244 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,240 It's like the surface of Mars. 245 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:20,120 Yeah. 246 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:29,480 And when, when we had the concrete laid outside, they put the spare concrete in the holes 247 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,000 and that lasted all of about what was fucking useless. 248 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,000 Cause they told me, you know, they, they done that extra bit the other week. 249 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,600 They put some tarmac in the hole. 250 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:39,960 I don't know why they bother doing it. 251 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,800 But obviously because the rest of it is essentially rock hard, like compacted mud. 252 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,800 I am useless. 253 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,560 And people, but it's just, oh, it just really bothers me. 254 00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:52,120 I've just smelt tea all over me. 255 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:52,600 Brilliant. 256 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,640 You're wearing black is fine. 257 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:54,360 It's grand. 258 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,560 And I'm wearing the old T-shirt. 259 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,520 I exploded a tomato on myself the other day. 260 00:09:59,320 --> 00:09:59,800 I know. 261 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,120 You went everywhere. 262 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,480 I know I was gently trying to cut them with a spoon and it actually went bang all over. 263 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,640 That pause will sound so weird. 264 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,080 Fuck it. 265 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:09,720 It gives a shit. 266 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,640 So yeah, it happens quite often where people just pull in because they don't want to turn around. 267 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,800 When I leave in the van and I forget about them potholes, I feel like I'm going to take off. 268 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,320 I go fucking flying. 269 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:21,800 Yeah. 270 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,000 But it's just, it's just annoying because we always think it's a part of someone. 271 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,040 It just activates. 272 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,160 It activates a part of me. 273 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,400 The anger is like, get out my fucking house as well. 274 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,080 It sounds so snobby, but it's why we want to put a gate up. 275 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:33,880 Absolutely. 276 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,200 Because it happens so often. 277 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,120 So, so, and it really does sound snobby. 278 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,160 I really don't mean it in a snobby way, but it happens all the fucking time. 279 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,800 And it was, we were waiting for Ash to come and he was on his way and he was literally 280 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,000 going to be there any minute. 281 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:47,960 And where was I going? 282 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,160 I think I was walking the dog and a fella had parked completely blocked our drive. 283 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:53,800 Yeah. 284 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:54,680 And I goes to it. 285 00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:56,760 So he sat there just chilling and I walked up. 286 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:57,960 I was like, okay, I'm going to be brave. 287 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,080 I said, oh, hello. 288 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,160 I said, sorry, you're blocking our driveway. 289 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,360 And he went, he didn't go, he didn't straight away go. 290 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,400 Oh, oh God, sorry. 291 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,040 I can't move. 292 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,040 He went, what is someone coming? 293 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:08,920 Someone coming out then. 294 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:09,560 Yeah. 295 00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:10,360 And stupid. 296 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,520 I don't fucking care if someone's coming out. 297 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,400 I went, no, but someone's about to come in. 298 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,760 He went, oh, all right, love. 299 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:17,960 Shunting forward like. 300 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,120 All right, love, let me get out of the way of your ass. 301 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,000 Get out the fucking way. 302 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,240 Stop parking in front of my fucking driveway. 303 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,480 And I like, if I was brave, I would have gone, well, it's also our driveway, but I didn't. 304 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:27,880 I just went. 305 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:28,760 I get it all the time. 306 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,280 When I put it in, it's busy. 307 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,920 I put it in the van and people look at me like I'm a piece of shit because they're in my way. 308 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:35,080 Yep. 309 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,840 Who the fuck are you looking at, you prick? 310 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,000 No. 311 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,520 Get out of the way of my fucking house. 312 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:38,920 Yeah. 313 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,280 No one has beat and swore as much as I did when I used to come home from work on a Saturday. 314 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,240 Oh, fucking man. 315 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:43,880 They're so annoying. 316 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,000 Because it's like prime time. 317 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,080 I'd be pulling in at about half six, wouldn't it? 318 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,280 Like six, half six. 319 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,080 And they're just waiting there and they just stare you out. 320 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,320 And then I beep and then I go, it's my house. 321 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:58,280 You remember years ago when we come in and we were completely blocked in by people in the Chinese. 322 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:58,440 Yeah. 323 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,360 Or they'd all parked up and I had to go in there and go get your fucking car out of the way. 324 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:02,520 Yeah. 325 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,720 And they got all snooty about it because they had parked right in the way. 326 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:06,200 Yeah. 327 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,280 So why are you dickheads? 328 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,880 Oh, mate, honestly. 329 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:10,520 Sick of it. 330 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,440 There's lots of lovely things about living here, but oh my God, literally, just again. 331 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,280 It's also filled with fucking, no. 332 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,320 Can't be asked to get into it. 333 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,840 We can't be bothered, we'll be here forever. 334 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,360 This has become a therapy podcast. 335 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,920 Yeah, it'll have to be a different fucking title on this one. 336 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,360 Where was I? 337 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:29,960 I was talking about Mark. 338 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,120 Mark getting the platinum. 339 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:32,360 Yep. 340 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,960 And he also 100% did it. 341 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:34,280 Yeah. 342 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,000 And so it spurred. 343 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,360 It was rudely interrupted. 344 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:44,680 It spurred me on to, because Mark was adamant that Gina, the queen of the Valkyries, I'm 345 00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:47,480 going to struggle to defeat her. 346 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,360 You're looking for the dog? 347 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,240 I'm looking for Hobson. 348 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,080 Hobson didn't run out. 349 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,280 I know, but it makes me panic. 350 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:52,680 Yeah, go on. 351 00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:54,760 What do you want to go and look for Hobson? 352 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:55,800 You keep talking, I'll be back. 353 00:12:57,560 --> 00:12:57,880 Okay. 354 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,080 I suppose I'm not talking to you Emma, I'm talking to the listeners. 355 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:01,720 Talking to the masses. 356 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:01,800 Yeah. 357 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,080 I can still hear you. 358 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:09,320 So Mark said to me that I'm going to really struggle to kill Gina and that I might not 359 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,360 even be able to do it. 360 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,240 So, just get your mic out of the way of the fan. 361 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:17,000 He's there. 362 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:17,320 Is he? 363 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,560 There's a fucking shambles this show. 364 00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:20,200 He's his mentor. 365 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,400 I can't believe people pay for this. 366 00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:25,880 So he said I was going to fucking struggle, right? 367 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,920 Now I will let everyone into a little secret here. 368 00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:31,080 Even though he's platinumed it and got 100%, 369 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,120 he turned the difficulty to the lowest setting to do it. 370 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:34,600 Right. 371 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,360 Because he was getting so angry. 372 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,000 Right. 373 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,360 Now he says it doesn't make that much of a difference because it just means that when 374 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,360 they hit you, it hurts a little bit less. 375 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,120 And I did agree with him, but fuck him. 376 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:46,600 Yeah. 377 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,000 Because fuck him. 378 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:49,880 Fuck you, Mark. 379 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:50,120 Yeah. 380 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,160 It don't make you tough. 381 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,440 You fucked it for yourself. 382 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,600 Now I said to him, I ain't going to do that. 383 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:55,960 I'm playing it on normal. 384 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,480 I couldn't be asked for hard mode. 385 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,240 I'm going to stay with normal. 386 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,800 Now he's made the mistake of saying that I won't be able to do it because Ash did exactly 387 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,200 the same thing with Elden Ring and Melania. 388 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:06,600 Yep. 389 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,600 And he said, you won't be able to do that. 390 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,560 Even though Ash hadn't actually touched it yet. 391 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,320 He said you won't be able to do it. 392 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,040 So I said, I bet him that I'd get it done in under an hour. 393 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,640 And there's video evidence of me getting it done in under an hour. 394 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,360 Now he'd sit there and say I cheated because I used the mimic to you. 395 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,680 Well, if it's available to you as well. 396 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,800 The video clip is there. 397 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:26,920 Me screaming is there. 398 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,320 So now I turned the PlayStation on. 399 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,120 I did the updates. 400 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:36,520 So at some point I'm going to go and I'm going to smack her up and I will do it in less than an hour. 401 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,080 I might even do it in one one go. 402 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:39,880 It's been said here. 403 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:40,680 It's been said here. 404 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:48,200 And there'll be a video clip of it because I'll clip it and then I'll bang it up on the Instagram so everyone can see it in all its glory. 405 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,720 Me doing it in under an hour. 406 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,040 But yeah, I'm happy that he's platinumed it. 407 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,080 I think that's very cool. 408 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,120 I'm also happy that it's thrown him back into gaming. 409 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,720 I didn't realize completely forgot he hasn't played Dying Light 2 yet. 410 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,000 Flabbergasted because me and him fucking ripped Dying Light for ages. 411 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,040 We loved it so much. 412 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,240 Just smashing zombies around the face with fucking baseball bats. 413 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:11,560 We were. 414 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,040 Is that the one where you saved the guy and then he. 415 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:14,920 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 416 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:15,240 Yeah. 417 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,680 Thank you for saving me. 418 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,560 And then it gets taken out mid cutscene by a zombie. 419 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:20,520 That was hilarious. 420 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:21,640 I've clipped that as well. 421 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:22,920 Was that supposed to happen? 422 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,120 No, no. 423 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,480 No, no, no. 424 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:26,840 It was literally a random encounter. 425 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,120 He's like, help me save me. 426 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,520 I give him some medicine and he gets up and he's like, thank you so much for saving me. 427 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,160 And then yeah, zombie just come and took him out straight away. 428 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:35,960 I was in hysteria. 429 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:36,680 So funny. 430 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:37,560 Absolute pieces. 431 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,320 So yeah, he hasn't he hasn't actually played that yet. 432 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,000 So I think that's next on the list. 433 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,280 And then we've got the devil in me as well, which is that co-op. 434 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:51,400 The last of the dark anthology series. 435 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,200 Oh, yeah. 436 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,680 That co-op horrors that we always play together. 437 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:55,000 Yeah. 438 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:55,720 Fantastic. 439 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,040 Again, there's glitches there with the guy. 440 00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,160 Oh, with his face. 441 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,080 His face, where he looks like he's taking a shit mid cutscene. 442 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,120 You got Mark on the mic. 443 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,200 He's like, what the fuck's this geezer's face doing? 444 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,080 I've forgotten about that. 445 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:15,880 Please post that. 446 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,040 You should honestly post some of these things. 447 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:18,520 I got the... 448 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,400 You really should. 449 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:24,200 There was so many clips on my PS4 and when I swapped over to the PS5, 450 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,040 obviously the clips don't come with you. 451 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,440 So I've got a memory stick somewhere. 452 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,760 We see it the other day when we was moving around. 453 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,040 There's a memory stick somewhere with all of my PS4 clips on it. 454 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,720 And it's like a hundred clips. 455 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:36,360 It's loads. 456 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,400 And then I've obviously got a load built up on my PlayStation on my PS5 as well. 457 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,920 So I should really put quite a few more on the Instagram 458 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,440 because some of them are fucking funny. 459 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,600 Like the days, like the H1Z1 where Mark was like, 460 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,600 Yeah, fucking suck it. 461 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,720 Out of frame, just get gunned down with a shot at you with the ragdoll effect. 462 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,760 He's like, no. 463 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:03,800 Oh, fucking hell. 464 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,000 It's so funny. 465 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:07,800 Oh, God. 466 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,880 How many hours I spent on that game. 467 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:10,600 Fucking hell. 468 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,360 But I don't even think, I mean, I know last time, 469 00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:17,240 I think, didn't we try for the crap because you were finding PUBG too long. 470 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:18,280 Oh, yeah. 471 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,280 For half hour and you think, no, I can't be asked. 472 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,800 No, it's like 45 minutes a game to just not win. 473 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:24,280 Exactly. 474 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,520 So much time to invest. 475 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,160 And do you remember we went on it and it was just dead. 476 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,000 Couldn't even get in because it was just so low. 477 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:31,500 H1Z1. 478 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:32,940 Yeah. 479 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:34,520 I don't know if that's still the case. 480 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:40,760 It had a little bit of a resurgence, but it's a very, it's a very niche battle royale. 481 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,320 I think it's a great battle royale, 482 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:50,920 but a lot of people don't like it when you're used to something like Warzone or even Fortnite. 483 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,680 Apex Legends, H1Z1 is completely different ballgame, completely different. 484 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,920 Not complex by any means, but. 485 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,600 Well, there's almost like no real, it's more of like a real life vibe. 486 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,760 There's not really elements of. 487 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,120 Yeah. Well, you're looking at something that's based off of DayZ. 488 00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:07,160 Well, it is DayZ. 489 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,440 It was originally a mod. 490 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:10,920 So all the other way around. 491 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,640 Either way, they're the same game. 492 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,600 So it is somewhat real. 493 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,400 And I think some. 494 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:20,680 I mean, no like extra element. 495 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:21,240 You know what I mean? 496 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,640 There's no, you can't build a fort. 497 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,360 You can't. 498 00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:25,240 Oh yeah, no, yeah. 499 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,120 It's literally just running around trying to find some guns. 500 00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:28,620 Yeah. 501 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,320 And then obviously you've got the graphics side of it. 502 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,840 The graphics look fucking awful. 503 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:35,640 You know what I mean? 504 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:36,440 They don't look great. 505 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,360 And I think that turns a lot of people. 506 00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:40,600 I think it very nearly turned me and Mark off, but. 507 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,040 We persevered and it was crazy fun because it's also. 508 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,280 It's just such a basic battle royale. 509 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,000 Yeah. 510 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,120 There's nothing crazy going on, but it was very fucking addictive. 511 00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:51,640 And we got very good at it, man. 512 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,400 But we were decent. 513 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,120 Yeah. 514 00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:54,840 Dare I say. 515 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:02,040 Just top 0.01% of players in the world for season one. 516 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,960 It's really, you never mention it. 517 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,320 Yeah, but you would though, wouldn't you? 518 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,280 But you just never said. 519 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:12,840 Not 0.1, 0.01% out of millions of players. 520 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,520 That's a big, big, obviously season two I dropped off. 521 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,160 But I'm just saying I'll take that to the grave with me. 522 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,680 It's funny because I don't remember it that way. 523 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,200 I think you have to dig out that email. 524 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:22,680 What do you mean? 525 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:23,720 You have to get your old phone out. 526 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:24,280 I don't know. 527 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:24,520 Just. 528 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,120 What do you mean? 529 00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:27,480 Just have to take your word for it. 530 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:27,960 Why don't I? 531 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:29,480 What do you mean? 532 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,760 I don't need my old phone. 533 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,640 It's on my email and I believe my email is right here. 534 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,160 You delete a lot of emails, don't you? 535 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,880 Yeah, but I, you think I didn't archive this one? 536 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:39,880 I archive this motherfucker. 537 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,040 Look, I'm here for the people. 538 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:43,720 Langdon versus the people. 539 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:44,280 I'm on life. 540 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,840 So only got a 67% on Metacritic. 541 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,360 See, this is the sort of thing I. 542 00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:53,880 I don't know how much attention I'm going to start keep paying to Metacritic. 543 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,560 I mean, I don't think I've ever looked in my life personally. 544 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,720 But what I was going to say is like, I'm not a Rick and Morty fan. 545 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:03,340 No. 546 00:20:03,340 --> 00:20:05,580 Um, like that kind of humor. 547 00:20:06,860 --> 00:20:09,420 And obviously I've only watched you play it for a little bit, 548 00:20:09,420 --> 00:20:11,980 but I don't think it would necessarily be my cup of tea. 549 00:20:12,940 --> 00:20:14,140 But I'm glad that it's yours. 550 00:20:15,020 --> 00:20:17,660 It's I mean, I can sit in terms of that rating. 551 00:20:17,660 --> 00:20:19,020 Just a first person shooter. 552 00:20:19,020 --> 00:20:19,740 And it's nothing crazy. 553 00:20:19,740 --> 00:20:21,180 We were literally slagging those the other day. 554 00:20:21,180 --> 00:20:22,940 We're a lot of fucking first person. 555 00:20:24,060 --> 00:20:25,900 But it's the it's the dialogue of it. 556 00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:28,380 It's the dialogue and the funniness of it that makes it great. 557 00:20:28,380 --> 00:20:32,620 If you take away the the the voice acting and that dialogue. 558 00:20:32,620 --> 00:20:35,100 Well, where did I see someone was playing it on mute? 559 00:20:35,740 --> 00:20:37,260 Did you tell me that or did I find that out? 560 00:20:37,260 --> 00:20:38,220 Who's playing it on mute? 561 00:20:38,220 --> 00:20:40,140 Yeah, someone was like, um, yeah. 562 00:20:41,260 --> 00:20:42,060 Someone was really. 563 00:20:42,060 --> 00:20:42,540 What the fuck? 564 00:20:42,540 --> 00:20:43,100 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 565 00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:44,300 I think it must have been on. 566 00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:46,140 Don't say that I was upset with the language. 567 00:20:46,140 --> 00:20:48,140 No, no, they just didn't find it like funny. 568 00:20:48,140 --> 00:20:49,100 They found it quite annoying. 569 00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:51,260 So they just muted it and now they're enjoying it. 570 00:20:51,260 --> 00:20:52,460 I must have seen it on Facebook. 571 00:20:52,460 --> 00:20:53,900 No, you're playing the wrong game then. 572 00:20:53,900 --> 00:20:56,700 That's literally that was literally a selling point. 573 00:20:56,700 --> 00:20:57,260 The whole point. 574 00:20:57,260 --> 00:20:59,580 But there is a there is a setting where you can 575 00:20:59,580 --> 00:21:03,740 because obviously all the guns and weapons you get, they are alive. 576 00:21:03,740 --> 00:21:04,300 They talk to you. 577 00:21:05,660 --> 00:21:09,100 And there is a setting where you can turn that down to say you can have it 578 00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:11,100 where it would be like frequent. 579 00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:12,700 Oh, they won't speak as much. 580 00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:13,500 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 581 00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:14,940 So you can turn it down. 582 00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:18,780 But to play a game like that and to find it annoying, that's the whole. 583 00:21:18,780 --> 00:21:20,700 That's the whole point of the game. 584 00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:26,220 That's what makes this game so fucking good is the is the the bullshit dialogue 585 00:21:26,220 --> 00:21:28,220 that comes with it very much like Borderlands. 586 00:21:28,220 --> 00:21:33,820 Where it was known for that really like weird people screaming. 587 00:21:33,820 --> 00:21:37,100 It's almost like playing Assassin's Creed and being like, I don't approve of assassins. 588 00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:38,300 I don't like it. 589 00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:39,260 Zero out of ten. 590 00:21:39,260 --> 00:21:40,460 I want to turn off the assassins. 591 00:21:40,460 --> 00:21:41,260 What were you expecting? 592 00:21:41,260 --> 00:21:41,820 This hidden blade. 593 00:21:41,820 --> 00:21:42,620 I don't like it. 594 00:21:42,620 --> 00:21:44,060 I want to use something else. 595 00:21:44,060 --> 00:21:45,260 I don't believe in killing people. 596 00:21:45,260 --> 00:21:50,380 I'm going to complete this by not hitting anyone. 597 00:21:50,380 --> 00:21:51,660 Fuck's sake. 598 00:21:51,660 --> 00:21:57,900 I'm just trying to find out what the Metacritic is for The Witcher 3 because as you can see, 599 00:21:57,900 --> 00:22:01,660 Ash, Ash got it. 600 00:22:01,660 --> 00:22:07,420 It has very good reviews for the the next gen update. 601 00:22:08,220 --> 00:22:09,180 It looks very good. 602 00:22:09,180 --> 00:22:10,780 They basically remade it. 603 00:22:12,620 --> 00:22:13,420 Ash will be. 604 00:22:13,420 --> 00:22:19,020 Ash was annoyed with me because he sent me through the Metacritic score. 605 00:22:22,140 --> 00:22:23,820 God, it's really difficult to find. 606 00:22:24,540 --> 00:22:27,100 He sent me through the Metacritic score when it first come out. 607 00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:28,300 Right. 608 00:22:28,300 --> 00:22:30,700 Obviously the PS5 version. 609 00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:40,460 When he sent it to me, it had three reviews and it was like 98% or 99 score. 610 00:22:41,260 --> 00:22:41,820 Something like that. 611 00:22:41,820 --> 00:22:42,620 It was a high score. 612 00:22:43,820 --> 00:22:46,220 Dev's mom, dad and their brother. 613 00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:48,060 Amazing. 614 00:22:48,060 --> 00:22:56,700 I don't want to speak ill of what happened because I know that he'll listen to this. 615 00:22:56,700 --> 00:22:57,180 There we go. 616 00:22:57,180 --> 00:22:57,660 What happened? 617 00:22:57,660 --> 00:22:59,580 It was a 97 Metacritic score. 618 00:22:59,580 --> 00:22:59,980 Okay. 619 00:22:59,980 --> 00:23:03,660 97 Meta score from 10 reviews. 620 00:23:04,540 --> 00:23:04,860 Right. 621 00:23:04,860 --> 00:23:05,660 Oh, okay. 622 00:23:05,660 --> 00:23:10,540 Now he sent me that and he was like a gobsmacked face because obviously 97, 623 00:23:10,540 --> 00:23:12,220 that's high for Metacritic. 624 00:23:12,220 --> 00:23:13,340 That's really fucking good. 625 00:23:14,380 --> 00:23:17,740 And I just said to him, wait for more than 10 reviews. 626 00:23:17,740 --> 00:23:18,060 Yeah. 627 00:23:18,060 --> 00:23:19,740 Because that's not a big sample. 628 00:23:19,740 --> 00:23:20,380 10 reviews. 629 00:23:20,380 --> 00:23:21,980 Yeah, they do it with makeup and stuff. 630 00:23:21,980 --> 00:23:25,500 They're like 98% of women agree of the seven people we asked. 631 00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:26,460 We asked seven people. 632 00:23:26,460 --> 00:23:28,060 We gave them a million pounds to say yes. 633 00:23:28,060 --> 00:23:31,900 Seven out of these 10 dentists recommend this toothpaste. 634 00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:33,740 When threatened to lose their practice. 635 00:23:33,740 --> 00:23:35,180 Yeah, when overly paid. 636 00:23:38,460 --> 00:23:40,860 I said, wait for more than 10 reviews and he said, 637 00:23:40,860 --> 00:23:44,220 could be the perfect game and you'd still shit on it, uncultured swine. 638 00:23:44,940 --> 00:23:46,780 And I just said to him, it's 10 reviews. 639 00:23:46,780 --> 00:23:47,340 Yeah. 640 00:23:47,340 --> 00:23:49,580 That's not a big enough sampling. 641 00:23:49,580 --> 00:23:50,620 It is good. 642 00:23:50,620 --> 00:23:53,100 I haven't seen that much, but I know that it's good. 643 00:23:53,100 --> 00:23:53,900 At least 10 people like it. 644 00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:59,660 And I'm not saying that it isn't good. 645 00:23:59,660 --> 00:24:05,420 Well, because he then sent me the Dragonfly Metacritic score. 646 00:24:05,420 --> 00:24:09,500 And obviously at the time it had only had three reviews 647 00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,540 and it had a 4.6 user score, which is very low. 648 00:24:13,740 --> 00:24:16,220 But I just said different game, different politics. 649 00:24:16,220 --> 00:24:17,820 And it is World of Warcraft. 650 00:24:17,820 --> 00:24:20,700 One of those things where you never look at the fucking reviews 651 00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:23,340 because even the people that are slating it will play it forever. 652 00:24:23,340 --> 00:24:23,740 Yeah. 653 00:24:23,740 --> 00:24:24,700 It's an addiction. 654 00:24:24,700 --> 00:24:25,340 So fuck that. 655 00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:27,420 But the Metacritic. 656 00:24:27,420 --> 00:24:28,460 Spoken like a true addict. 657 00:24:28,460 --> 00:24:28,960 Yeah. 658 00:24:29,660 --> 00:24:32,780 So the Witcher 3 at the moment has 23 reviews. 659 00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:34,460 What is this? 660 00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:38,060 Only a 7.1 user score though. 661 00:24:39,020 --> 00:24:39,980 That's not great. 662 00:24:40,620 --> 00:24:41,260 What is this? 663 00:24:41,260 --> 00:24:42,060 Hardly fair. 664 00:24:42,700 --> 00:24:44,460 How many fucking copies must be sold? 665 00:24:44,460 --> 00:24:46,620 And then you get like 20 people review it. 666 00:24:46,620 --> 00:24:47,180 It's not very much. 667 00:24:47,180 --> 00:24:47,420 I don't know. 668 00:24:47,420 --> 00:24:50,300 Metacritic reviews, there's not really that many that go on Metacritic. 669 00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:54,380 I don't really know if it's a case of anyone can do a review. 670 00:24:54,380 --> 00:24:56,860 But even then you'd still expect there to be more than that. 671 00:24:56,860 --> 00:24:58,220 Maybe it's a dying thing. 672 00:24:58,220 --> 00:24:59,900 Maybe no one does it anymore. 673 00:24:59,900 --> 00:25:01,980 No, because a lot of people rely on. 674 00:25:01,980 --> 00:25:02,780 Yeah, but you say that. 675 00:25:02,780 --> 00:25:04,460 But you know how I was saying the other day how, 676 00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:08,300 and it maybe it's showing my age, but there was a gig and- 677 00:25:08,300 --> 00:25:08,940 You are old. 678 00:25:11,980 --> 00:25:12,860 About eight months. 679 00:25:12,860 --> 00:25:14,940 But there you go. 680 00:25:14,940 --> 00:25:15,740 Whatever. 681 00:25:15,740 --> 00:25:17,660 We were literally both in the womb at the same time. 682 00:25:18,380 --> 00:25:21,340 Yeah, you just come out of yours eight months sooner than me. 683 00:25:22,860 --> 00:25:23,580 Old. 684 00:25:24,540 --> 00:25:25,260 Anyway. 685 00:25:25,260 --> 00:25:27,740 You'll be 30 long before I am. 686 00:25:27,740 --> 00:25:28,460 You know what I mean? 687 00:25:28,460 --> 00:25:30,140 No, it'll be eight months before you. 688 00:25:30,140 --> 00:25:31,500 Yeah, that's a long time. 689 00:25:33,180 --> 00:25:35,100 Well, in two months we'll be the same age, won't we? 690 00:25:35,660 --> 00:25:36,460 On a bit of paper. 691 00:25:36,460 --> 00:25:37,420 My birthday. 692 00:25:37,420 --> 00:25:38,780 Yeah, won't be getting much. 693 00:25:39,740 --> 00:25:41,180 Anyway, you get a block of coal. 694 00:25:41,180 --> 00:25:43,420 It's good I can heat that up. 695 00:25:45,580 --> 00:25:48,620 Yeah, and so I would always for- 696 00:25:48,620 --> 00:25:52,860 So I saw a thing and it was like a band played a rare song at a gig. 697 00:25:53,580 --> 00:25:54,780 Like one of their really old ones. 698 00:25:55,420 --> 00:25:59,260 And immediately I went to YouTube and there was nothing. 699 00:25:59,260 --> 00:26:02,860 And you think, nah, not a band that big and a song that old. 700 00:26:03,820 --> 00:26:05,180 And it just wasn't there. 701 00:26:05,180 --> 00:26:06,940 Because that was always where they'd be, wouldn't it? 702 00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:09,500 You know, someone kicks someone off the stage, someone farts, 703 00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:11,500 someone does whatever, it'd be on YouTube. 704 00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:14,220 And no, typed into TikTok, oh, there's hundreds. 705 00:26:14,220 --> 00:26:15,420 Well, yeah, because that's where it's at. 706 00:26:15,420 --> 00:26:16,300 Exactly. 707 00:26:16,300 --> 00:26:21,980 But that's the first time that that's been the case for anything I have looked at. 708 00:26:21,980 --> 00:26:23,180 So you see what I mean about how- 709 00:26:23,180 --> 00:26:24,460 How cool does that loop in? 710 00:26:26,220 --> 00:26:26,940 About MetaQuick? 711 00:26:26,940 --> 00:26:28,380 No, the whole review thing. 712 00:26:28,380 --> 00:26:28,880 So- 713 00:26:29,980 --> 00:26:31,340 No one's really using it anymore. 714 00:26:31,340 --> 00:26:33,500 That's the point I was making. 715 00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:34,460 So do you think that- 716 00:26:36,780 --> 00:26:37,980 How cool does that look? 717 00:26:37,980 --> 00:26:42,460 Do you think that Elden Ring, incredible game, 718 00:26:42,460 --> 00:26:45,180 I thought was really fucking good, deserved game of the year. 719 00:26:45,980 --> 00:26:57,180 Do you think it would have held as much traction if TikTok wasn't flooded with clips of people 720 00:26:57,180 --> 00:27:00,860 doing cool shit with Middle of the Night by Ella Do- 721 00:27:00,860 --> 00:27:01,900 Is it Ella? 722 00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:02,540 Can't remember her name. 723 00:27:02,540 --> 00:27:03,420 Ella Dulli or something? 724 00:27:03,420 --> 00:27:04,060 Something like that? 725 00:27:04,060 --> 00:27:05,500 Yes, absolutely hand in hand. 726 00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:06,140 Because that- 727 00:27:06,140 --> 00:27:07,900 Made the song famous, made the game famous. 728 00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:08,940 Set off her career. 729 00:27:08,940 --> 00:27:09,580 For sure. 730 00:27:10,540 --> 00:27:11,260 She don't need to- 731 00:27:11,260 --> 00:27:15,340 And then because my TikTok for at least a month and still now- 732 00:27:15,340 --> 00:27:17,420 Yeah, I can remember overhearing it for ages. 733 00:27:17,420 --> 00:27:19,740 Was flooded with- 734 00:27:19,740 --> 00:27:21,900 Because visually the game looks fantastic. 735 00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:23,580 So it was the perfect- 736 00:27:25,420 --> 00:27:29,260 I can still remember it with the Star Scourge Greatswords, 737 00:27:29,260 --> 00:27:32,060 which is obviously what I use, which you got from Radar. 738 00:27:32,060 --> 00:27:37,260 And the ultimate for that is you would pull them both out and like 739 00:27:37,260 --> 00:27:40,380 scrape them together and then into the air and then you get like this big 740 00:27:40,380 --> 00:27:42,380 fucking area of effect around you. 741 00:27:43,340 --> 00:27:45,740 And then you'd slam those motherfuckers into the ground. 742 00:27:45,740 --> 00:27:47,580 But it went really, really well with that- 743 00:27:48,380 --> 00:27:49,660 It's the watch, isn't it? 744 00:27:49,660 --> 00:27:50,860 You like this watch, don't you? 745 00:27:51,820 --> 00:27:55,180 Giving me looks across the table. 746 00:27:55,180 --> 00:27:58,540 But it went really well with that song. 747 00:27:58,540 --> 00:28:01,660 And pretty much any fucking edit that you threw into it went well with that song. 748 00:28:01,660 --> 00:28:06,380 So everyone was like, if you hadn't heard of Elden Ring, you'd definitely fucking seen it. 749 00:28:06,380 --> 00:28:07,900 And it made it look cool. 750 00:28:07,900 --> 00:28:12,060 It was a better advertisement for that game than anything they probably paid their PR team to do. 751 00:28:12,860 --> 00:28:13,340 Yeah. 752 00:28:13,340 --> 00:28:13,820 Yeah. 753 00:28:13,820 --> 00:28:17,100 And then just you being someone who, I don't know- 754 00:28:17,100 --> 00:28:18,300 Ellie Du- 755 00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:20,220 D-U-H-E, I don't know how to say her last name. 756 00:28:20,220 --> 00:28:21,020 Du-hey, maybe? 757 00:28:21,020 --> 00:28:21,420 I don't know. 758 00:28:21,420 --> 00:28:21,980 Something like that. 759 00:28:23,580 --> 00:28:25,740 I think you're one of two types of people. 760 00:28:25,740 --> 00:28:29,580 You're either someone who watches a TikTok, in fact maybe three watches TikTok, 761 00:28:29,580 --> 00:28:33,180 doesn't bother with the comments, watches TikTok, bothers with the comments, 762 00:28:33,180 --> 00:28:35,420 but pauses the TikTok to read the comments. 763 00:28:35,420 --> 00:28:36,300 I don't know where this is going. 764 00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:41,820 Or you're a third person and you're someone who watches TikToks, reads the comments, 765 00:28:41,820 --> 00:28:45,340 but does not pause the TikTok when they read the comments. 766 00:28:45,340 --> 00:28:45,980 No. 767 00:28:45,980 --> 00:28:46,300 So- 768 00:28:46,300 --> 00:28:47,340 That'd be annoying wouldn't it? 769 00:28:47,340 --> 00:28:56,940 And their algorithm kind of just lends itself to the most annoying and loud and- 770 00:28:56,940 --> 00:28:57,980 No, this is unfair. 771 00:28:57,980 --> 00:29:04,300 Kind of TikToks that just really like bore into your brain and then they just go around 13 times- 772 00:29:04,300 --> 00:29:04,620 No, this is bullshit. 773 00:29:04,620 --> 00:29:05,660 While I'm reading the comments and it goes- 774 00:29:05,660 --> 00:29:08,700 No, no, no, no, this is bullshit. 775 00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:10,140 No, no, come and live here and you'll find it. 776 00:29:10,140 --> 00:29:12,300 No, because your TikTok's boring as fuck anyway. 777 00:29:12,940 --> 00:29:13,500 And- 778 00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:14,620 It just tells me I've got like- 779 00:29:15,820 --> 00:29:16,700 That you're dying. 780 00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:17,820 Crippling issues, yeah. 781 00:29:17,820 --> 00:29:18,860 Crippling anxiety. 782 00:29:18,860 --> 00:29:20,940 And then it's just my dog died, my boyfriend died. 783 00:29:20,940 --> 00:29:23,740 Yeah, didn't you go through a period where your whole TikTok was just 784 00:29:23,740 --> 00:29:25,740 like your significant other dying? 785 00:29:25,740 --> 00:29:25,980 Yeah. 786 00:29:25,980 --> 00:29:28,940 And every day I was going and fucking around with trains. 787 00:29:28,940 --> 00:29:29,440 Yep. 788 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:35,040 When you started beach and lean, I bumped into you in Sainsbury's and I literally 789 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,360 looked like death because I'd just been crying. 790 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,000 Yeah. 791 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:38,880 Anyway. 792 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,000 No, but- 793 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,440 So you said I'm going to carry on doing this job for two years. 794 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:48,480 You're also hyperactive to hyperreactive to sound. 795 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:49,520 Okay, but is something going- 796 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:50,320 You really are. 797 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,480 No, no, because I'm now conscious of it. 798 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:53,200 Yeah, exactly. 799 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,600 Yeah, if there's a sound like that, I know that I've got about four seconds 800 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:02,160 before I can feel you listening before you snap and go, what is that? 801 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,280 What the fuck is that? 802 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,200 Every time. 803 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:05,680 Yeah. 804 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,480 My TikTok's great. 805 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:09,520 Don't worry about yours. 806 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:10,560 My TikTok's great. 807 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,480 It's filled with little game and clips. 808 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:13,760 It's fantastic. 809 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:20,720 But yeah, I think Elden Ring still was obviously at the height that it was. 810 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,320 TikTok didn't put it any higher up than it already was, but I definitely believe that. 811 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:25,280 Oh, I don't know about that. 812 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:26,320 It's certainly on its bone now. 813 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,880 I think TikTok helped it to gain. 814 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:34,960 I think TikTok allowed more people who hadn't ever touched a Souls-borne game 815 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,280 to get involved with it because there was loads of people that you just would not expect. 816 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:46,720 I really want Mark to play it because one, I know how angry he gets and he will either- 817 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:47,360 A big challenge. 818 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,360 He will either break his PlayStation or he'll put his fist through the telly. 819 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,280 Both of those things sound hilarious. 820 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,280 And I also think that we were talking about today, God of War, 821 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,920 Ragnarok was missing that satisfaction from killing a boss. 822 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,320 It was very easy to kill bosses. 823 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,720 Now, I know that you can tell me, you can go, I will turn the hardness, 824 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,240 like the difficulty up and all of that. 825 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:14,320 But at the same time, it really was, none of it was a challenge. 826 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,800 The bosses weren't a challenge. 827 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:17,920 I don't think they were. 828 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,200 Not when, I think, hear me out. 829 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:21,840 Okay. 830 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:28,400 I think because the game itself was so story-driven, it was so imperative, 831 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:30,640 so were the bosses. 832 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:36,240 The bosses were key, key elements to the story, 100%. 833 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:42,320 And I think maybe it's because I did every side mission I got before, 834 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:48,560 I did the main mission in a zone, so maybe I was more overleveled than I should have been. 835 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,320 I know Ash was saying that he was struggling, 836 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,600 but I know for a fact that he was underleveled for what he was doing, 837 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,440 because he did none of the side stuff. 838 00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:01,360 But me and Mark both agreed that when we came to a boss, a proper boss, 839 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:09,200 yes, it could be somewhat difficult, but you weren't sweating playing it. 840 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:16,320 Compared to like Melania in Elden Ring, where you genuinely were fucking sweating, 841 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,160 because it was like, I'm struggling here. 842 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:23,840 This look at me and Ash with the Elden Lord, the Elden Beast, sorry. 843 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:24,720 Yeah. 844 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,440 Fucking we struggled with that motherfucker. 845 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:28,640 We struggled with that. 846 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,320 That was difficult as fuck. 847 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,360 And I think you didn't have that God of War. 848 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:40,080 Do you think though, is that a case of kind of sacrificing a little bit of that difficulty 849 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,280 in the name of storytelling, in the sense that I remember you, 850 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,960 and it was the first God of War, and probably the first time 851 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,680 I think I watched you play it when you were trying to get back into it. 852 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,160 And you were annoyed because you'd just come off the back of 853 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,560 something super like free roam open world kind of vibe. 854 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,120 And you were like, it's too linear. 855 00:32:59,120 --> 00:32:59,840 It's stressing me out. 856 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,080 I want to walk over there, but I can't because he's going, no, we must go this way. 857 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:04,640 Yeah. 858 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,080 And you being quite annoyed and having to sort of like get used to that where... 859 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:10,800 Whereas I really like that now. 860 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:11,440 Exactly. 861 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,640 But at that time, you weren't used to it. 862 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,920 And I think that there's a potential where, so say in a fight with Thorin, isn't it? 863 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,240 When you think you've lost, but actually it was meant to happen. 864 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,240 And he brings your fucking ass back to life. 865 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:24,720 Exactly. 866 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,160 And it's something that you... 867 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,680 So even in that, that whole first segment of the fight, 868 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,920 you think you've got free will, but no, because you're going to... 869 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,680 No matter how you act, you're going to get done in by him. 870 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:38,720 You're going to get fucked up. 871 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,600 And then actually, I suppose, so knowing that, 872 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,120 where you aren't actually necessarily in control because no matter what you do, 873 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,520 it's going to happen in this way anyway, 874 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,520 would it being so difficult that you keep dying and having to go back and go back and go back 875 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,000 and go back kind of ruin that vibe? 876 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:56,720 I suppose, yeah. 877 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,000 I suppose it would spoil it. 878 00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,520 Potentially. I don't know. It's just a thought. 879 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,280 It would spoil it. 880 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:02,080 I think it's... 881 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,440 Like if it was more of a grind, it would take you out of that immersion. 882 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:05,920 Yeah. 883 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,600 Because I knew where Mark was coming from because I was coming from the same position 884 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:16,640 in that that satisfaction from killing a boss that you have been trying to deal with for a long time, 885 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:18,880 there's nothing like it. 886 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,840 And yeah, I also agree that it is because it is so story-driven that it would turn you off 887 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,120 if you're constantly dying. 888 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,200 But I suppose that's why there's a difficulty scale. 889 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:27,840 Absolutely. 890 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,560 You can change that whenever you want, whereas obviously Elden Ring, there isn't. 891 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,200 Yeah. 892 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,800 There is no, let's make this harder. 893 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:33,920 It is just hard. Full stop. 894 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:34,720 For everyone. Yeah. 895 00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:37,760 And perhaps maybe there then, it's a case of maybe you... 896 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,560 Like I remember when you were picking which one to go for. 897 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,160 What, an Elden Ring? 898 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,320 No, God of War, your difficulty level. 899 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:44,880 Oh, yeah. 900 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,360 And you were kind of like, oh, it could be that you kind of just... 901 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:48,320 Obviously it's so hard... 902 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,760 It's flicking between easy and normal. 903 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:54,480 Well, yeah, and it's so hard to decide when you haven't played it yet, you haven't seen what it's 904 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,080 like, you haven't got a feel for it, to then decide, which I suppose is why they allow you 905 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,520 to change it. Because perhaps if you'd have been going on and you go, no, you know what, 906 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,480 this is a piece of easy on board, or not board, but you know what I mean, like, you know, 907 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:10,000 I'm not feeling that challenge. Maybe you'd find that if you did crank it up a notch, 908 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:15,920 you might have found that sweet spot, like your personal sweet spot of challenge versus story. 909 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,080 Yeah, I suppose. I do suppose. 910 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,320 Maybe have a go. Like if you're saying you're going to turn it back on, crank it up to a 911 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,240 fucking God of War level and then just get your ass handed to you. 912 00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:27,840 Oh, God, give me God of War and then go and try and kill Gina. Fuck, you know. 913 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,160 I'm not taking anything away from God of War at all. 914 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,480 I'm trying to compare it to Elden Ring. They're two completely different beasts, 915 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:40,160 completely different. But yeah, I really want Mark to jump on Elden Ring because I think 916 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,200 I think he would love it once he goes through the motions, just like I did, 917 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:52,960 just like everyone else fucking did. And he and it finally clicks. I think he'll 918 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,880 he will love it because I was trying to explain to him. I was like, anything can fuck you up. 919 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:03,840 Anything. Yeah. A wolf, a fucking sweaty old man with a walking stick. Anything can fuck you up 920 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,360 in that game. I said to him, I was like, you make one wrong move. I said, you're dead. 921 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,880 Even when you're overpowered to fuck, something can catch you off guard. 922 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,800 What are you laughing at? Sorry. 923 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:18,240 A sweaty old man with a walking stick. You paint a picture. 924 00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:23,920 Anything can fuck you up. Literally anything. Some geezer with a bunch of roses. He fucked me up. 925 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,200 And you can hit anyone. This is the feeling. Yes. Yeah. 926 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,960 And so it's that learning curve. Like I was saying to him, you're so used to a hack and slash game 927 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:37,840 where there's somewhat might be a bit of a challenge, but ultimately you can overpower 928 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:42,400 whatever you're attacking by just mashing R2 or whatever. Absolutely. Yeah. Very kind of. 929 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:47,440 And I said, you have to get yourself straight out of that mindset. I said, once you get decent 930 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:54,960 at a Soulsborne game, like Elden Ring, Demon's Souls, fucking Bloodborne, you throw yourself 931 00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:03,840 into a game that is still a combat game, like say God of War or where there's battles where 932 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,440 you can block and you can parry and things like that. You've been playing a Soulsborne game that 933 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:12,160 you've gotten decent at. You jump into a game like a different style of game. You're a fucking god. 934 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:18,400 Yeah. Because obviously the reaction times that you need for Elden Ring are completely different 935 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:23,920 to anything else. And the hit boxes on Elden Ring were fucking mental as well. Absolutely crazy. 936 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:28,640 I'm talking like you could lift your arm up and expose a fucking inch of your armpit. You could 937 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:33,760 shoot an arrow through that gap. You know what I mean? I really, really want him to play it. 938 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,400 And I hope he does. I'll keep badgering him to play it. You need to get it, Mark, 939 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,560 because I think you would really enjoy it. I think I've actually got it on disc. 940 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,960 Yeah, you do. I put it in the cupboard the other day. 941 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,680 So I might actually just give it to him and he can fuck around on it because it's just, 942 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:55,920 oh God. I must thank Ash for keeping me on that because if it weren't for him, 943 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,760 I would have fucking taken it straight back to game. You know what I mean? I would have been 944 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:10,240 fuming with it. I was ready. He pulled me up from the mud and showed me the way. Fantastic. Anyway, 945 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:18,720 that's that out of the way. I miss him. It'll be three weeks, you know? 946 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,840 When he's here next week, when he's back on the pod, it'll be three weeks 947 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:29,200 since I've seen my business partner. What a mess. He's been at home creaming it, 948 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,880 getting all this dough for nothing. You know what I mean? Don't roll your eyes. He's not having to 949 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,280 put a finger in here. Yeah, because he's not been busy, is he? Jesus, the poor man. 950 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:44,160 You want to get up in the middle of the night? Yeah. In the middle of the night. 951 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,160 No. 952 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:59,440 When does that Hogwarts game come out? Are you excited by that? Hogwarts legacy? Mark said 953 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:07,680 he cannot wait. It is the game that he is waiting for the most. That shocked me because he is such a 954 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:16,000 prick. It's just simple. He ain't like that. You know what I mean? I didn't realise he loved Harry 955 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:22,560 Potter. I don't know anyone who doesn't. Well, I didn't think Mark did. Why? Because it's Mark. 956 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:31,840 He'll hate this. He'll hate this. No, I'm sort of excited. I think, I don't know. I was quite 957 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:40,320 let down. So far, everything Harry Potter that has ever been released, what was it? I want to say I 958 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:45,040 had... 10th of February, by the way, is the release date. That's exciting. Yeah, no, I am excited. 959 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:50,000 Yeah, you saying that has been like, oh. It's only round the corner. I want to say I had, 960 00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:57,600 what's the fourth one? Goblet of Fire on PSP. I know it's legendary. It's class. 961 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:03,840 But the one they did and they really hyped it up was, I can't remember what it's called, but it's 962 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:13,840 an iPad, mobile game. And it was just naff. But really, you can tell so much money and so much 963 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:18,480 work has gone into it. And it's just another thing where it's like, yes, young wizard, give me your 964 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,560 money. Yeah, I think you had a lot of cash grabs like that. People were always trying to turn the 965 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:28,800 movies into games. So much has gone in. I don't know if you remember Pottermore. No, I don't have 966 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:35,600 a fucking clue. I wasn't big with the Harry Potter. It's probably about 11 years ago now, maybe more. 967 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:44,720 And it was sold as it was going to be. It was online. And it was just an immersive universe 968 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:50,080 of wizards and witches and all of the things that you love and all this. And there was going to be 969 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:54,400 games and there was going to be house points. And there was a whole algorithm where you're sorted 970 00:40:54,400 --> 00:41:01,120 into your house and you're given your wand and it was all based on the movies yourself. No, like 971 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:08,800 proper personality, like you say, like movies. And oh my God, getting onto the beta for it was so 972 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,440 hard. And back in the day when it's like, oh, you gave a shit about. So I was grinding, just trying 973 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:20,800 like, please. And I did. And I remember, I don't think Luce did, but anyway, and I was moonriver179 974 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:31,360 and she was cloak queen 91. Moonriver. And literally, we used to like sign birthday cards 975 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:36,880 and stuff. Moonriver. I don't think, I think it was like user generated. I don't know that I picked it. 976 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:42,160 That's quite a cool name though. Yeah. Moonriver. It's a song isn't it? Or is it? I don't know. 977 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:49,680 Moonriver. Yeah. Anyway. And it was a very interesting one because they kind of pulled 978 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:54,960 you in with like so much coming soon. Only, you know, coming, coming real soon. Yeah. And then 979 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:59,840 it kind of didn't know what it was. Yeah. And then they added features and then took some away and 980 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:05,760 then it just kind of like just went and now it's some other shit. And I just feel like obviously 981 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:10,960 they probably can't necessarily get away with that with this, but you know, you thought how many more 982 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,760 Harry Potter things can I fall for and waste my time on? This is what I was talking to because 983 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:23,120 Mark obviously was talking about it today or this morning on the way into work. And I was saying that 984 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:29,840 I really hope that it's going to be great. And there's so much potential because he, he doesn't 985 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,880 watch anything on these games. Any game that he's interested in, he won't watch anything on it. 986 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:40,080 He's not interested because he's so interested. God of War Ragnarok. He watched nothing on it 987 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,800 because he didn't, he didn't want to see anything. And it's the same with Hogwarts Legacy. He hasn't, 988 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,880 he hasn't seen any of it. Look at the bloody Wednesday trailer, the random trailer at the end 989 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:54,480 of the first episode of Wednesday. Oh yeah. That just fucking gave away everything. I'm already 990 00:42:54,480 --> 00:43:00,160 watching it love. I don't need to tease a trailer. So I was saying to him, I was like, it's one of 991 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:04,320 them games where it's got so much potential and there is quite a decent amount of hype behind it, 992 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:10,400 that it has the potential to be an incredible game. From what I've seen graphics as well, 993 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:16,080 it looks really, really cool. And then every now and then you get a little gameplay bit that pops 994 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:21,040 up and people shit on it because they go this look like, for example, I don't like the fact that it 995 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:26,480 doesn't have Quidditch in it. It's not in there. Right. Okay. Whether that's just because they 996 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:31,920 couldn't actually, they couldn't figure out or whatever. Um, I'm sure there's a reason behind it. 997 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:41,520 Uh, but it, some people like it's so difficult because obviously it's not out yet. So trying to 998 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:46,000 form an opinion of it is, is, is quite hard, but it's, it's one of those where it looks like it 999 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:52,720 can be great or it can just be shit. Yeah. No, I mean like another, another failed attempt at turning 1000 00:43:52,720 --> 00:44:03,120 a very popular movie into a game. I think the last, um, obviously the last really good adaptation 1001 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,760 of a movie to a game that I played was guardians of the galaxy. 1002 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:16,160 Fucking fantastic. Really, really follow the film or is it just a story? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 1003 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:21,360 That's the way to do it. Yeah. But it was really good. The one before that that I thought did 1004 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:31,200 really, really well was this King Kong. You played that, didn't you? No. Oh, you don't like, 1005 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:37,440 you don't like gorillas. So King Kong. Do you know me at all? I'm sorry. So King Kong, fun fact, 1006 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:44,320 I've got, uh, I've got an elk tattooed on my chest that was originally going to be a full 1007 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:50,480 long gorilla covering my chest. But Stafford reminded me of the fact that she absolutely hates 1008 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:55,040 gorillas. And it's your, but yeah, but I hadn't said anything had I? I hadn't said anything to you. 1009 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,960 No, it was my decision to change it because I thought that's just gonna, that's just gonna be 1010 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,880 strange. Every time I take my top off, you're gonna fucking run from the gorilla on my chest. 1011 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,160 But no, I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have ever said to you, don't get it. 1012 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,680 No, but this is what loving couples do. We make sacrifices. So if you break up, you're gonna come 1013 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:21,840 with an elk gorilla. But so King Kong, uh, Peter Jackson's King Kong, the official game of the movie. 1014 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:30,800 Um, platform was that on? Uh, PS2, PS2, right. Come out in 2005. And I shit you not genuinely 1015 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:38,960 really, really good game. And that followed the story that was the movie, but in game format. 1016 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:45,120 And pretty much like followed it scene for scene. Okay. And obviously PS2, the graphics weren't 1017 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:56,480 fantastic, but standard to be fair for PS2, they're not bad. It's not bad. That's Jane. 1018 00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:02,960 That's never gameplay though. Is it? Yeah. It's not bad. You know what I mean? 1019 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:10,160 That's no, that's, I'll have that. Nah, that, let me, let me, I'm watching this. 1020 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:15,760 But it was really, it was really good. Like really, really good. I remember playing it as a kid and 1021 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:18,960 what is it? 1022 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:29,520 Yeah. Is it? Yeah. With a spear, spear, with a spear. And you've got to stab the bats, 1023 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:34,160 the weird bat things. Yeah. I remember this. And then the little centipedes come out of nowhere 1024 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,280 and start fucking banging you and you've got to get the fire out and start burning them. 1025 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:44,640 It looks good though, doesn't it? They don't look bad actually. It really don't look bad. 1026 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,080 And you got to play as King Kong as well. And you got to kill T-Rex, 1027 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,120 like to do the T-Rex scene where he fucking snaps their jaws off. 1028 00:46:51,120 --> 00:47:01,280 Ew. Honestly, it was decent. He just killed some thingies. What is it, what's someone said? 1029 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:08,640 It was really good. I'm glad. I'm happy for you. A very successful adaptation. Obviously very old. 1030 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:16,160 Now. Yeah. And yeah, I don't really know where I was going with this whole point, but I'm just 1031 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:22,800 glad that I got that in there because I thought it was a really cool game. Yeah. Well, did you ever 1032 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:28,240 have, you know, as I think I said it last week about the Mulan. Yeah. And literally me and my 1033 00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:35,520 sister still quote that now. Like honestly shaped our lives, I think. Bless you. Sorry. And it was 1034 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:42,080 just, it was a PC game, but you could, you could do so much. Like you had to, and it's one of those 1035 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:47,440 ones where if I say the things you had to do now, it's probably going to sound so childish, but 1036 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,760 ultimately we were children, I suppose. Well, not ultimately, we literally were children, 1037 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:58,720 but you, like you could play mahjong and you got a, my mom, so you got a mahjong certificate when 1038 00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:04,560 you won. Nice. And you could print them out and my mom laminated them and we had them as dinner mats. 1039 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:11,120 So you could have like your mahjong achievement and eat your tea. Mahjong, you, you, then there 1040 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:16,320 was one, you had to like climb a mountain. You had a limited amount of stakes and rope. So if you 1041 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:24,320 cross too many, you'd run out and you'd be in trouble. And it was like so good, so, so good. 1042 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:29,520 And we had, we had a few, we had a few of them, but Mulan really sticks in my head. It's just been 1043 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:33,040 absolute class. They just don't, they just don't do it anymore. They don't take, they don't really 1044 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:37,200 take, uh, popular movies or anything and try and turn them into games. Well, you know, you're 1045 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:42,240 probably find it's mobile games. Or if they do, they just flop. Look at Marvel Avengers. Oh, 1046 00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:47,440 that game. When it come out, it was fucking God awful. Absolutely awful. But yeah, it seems that 1047 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:53,040 they seem to only go on mobile. Maybe it's just so much easier. Yeah. That's where you can fling the 1048 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:58,720 dough. Yeah. Um, I'm trying to think of any like movies that would be really cool if they adapted 1049 00:48:58,720 --> 00:49:04,800 it into a game, but I can't really think of any. Bring fucking Lord of the Rings back, please, 1050 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:11,120 please, please. Again, talking to Mark about it. I'd pay fucking top dollar for Simpsons hit and 1051 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:18,240 run to be remade, remastered, fucking whatever. I would pay big bucks for it. I'll be all over it. 1052 00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:22,080 Well, I. But the nostalgia, I don't think would hit the same and it just wouldn't, 1053 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:27,120 but I'd still pay big bucks for it. And Lord of the Rings. I always thought that of Spyro 1054 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:33,600 and then they did. Yeah. And it didn't, it didn't look right. Yeah. It didn't look right. Like I 1055 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:39,760 needed the real shitty like barely can actually tell it's a dragon. I think that's why I stuck. 1056 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,920 I think it just didn't feel good. I think that's why I love and still love Ratchet and Clank so 1057 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:51,600 much because they adapted with that. They didn't remake and remaster their games. They just kept 1058 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:56,160 bopping up, but they kept true to what they were doing. They just made it better. 1059 00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:06,960 Well, when they put Ocarina of Time on the three DS, that it wasn't some polished like graphics. 1060 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:12,880 They didn't really change. They didn't, it was still that like kind of old ass thing. And it, 1061 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:18,480 but it was nice because it was that, that novelty of having something. Obviously you're talking 1062 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,080 years and years before the switch, like good. Sometimes you want that though. Well, 1063 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:26,640 and it was the beauty of something that you've only ever been able to play on a console. I could 1064 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:31,520 take it to college and play it in the corner. Look at Pokemon. Fuck that new shit. I don't want that 1065 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,760 shit of always fucking. I mean you absolutely rinsed Sword and Shield though when you weren't, 1066 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,440 was that because you weren't well? No, what do you mean? I played Sword. I know, but you're saying 1067 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:44,160 fuck the new shit, but you like. No, no. I mean the new style of how they do it where it's like, 1068 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:48,640 almost like free roam. Sword wasn't like that. Yeah, it was. No, Sword and Shield weren't. 1069 00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:56,560 It looked good. Yeah, that style. And then the latest one is back similar to Sword and Shield. 1070 00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:00,880 I think no, cause I've watched it. You're running around on some Pokemon with fucking wheels, 1071 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:06,160 but he still uses his legs. It looks weird. Dead space. It don't look good. Everyone loves it, 1072 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:12,960 but I don't like it. But I'm saying, I'm saying now, right now you could pick up Pokemon blue 1073 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:19,520 and you'd fucking love it. Pokemon yellow, Pokemon Sapphire, Pokemon Ruby. 1074 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:26,480 I'm gonna keep going. Trying to think of other colours. Emerald. Gold, silver, Emerald, Sapphire. 1075 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:34,400 Ooh, some good ones. Rayquaza. That was Emerald, wasn't it? That was green. Yeah. 1076 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:40,560 It's cute that you remember all these things, but you don't remember, you know. What? Just like 1077 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:44,000 people's birthdays. I remember your birthday. That's the most important birthday there is. I 1078 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:47,680 remember Mark's birthday. Desperately trying to remember Ash's birthday in my head, but I just 1079 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:54,720 can't. Oh, do you admit that on here? I just can't. I can't. I'm sorry. But Mark's I remember 1080 00:51:54,720 --> 00:52:00,080 because I forgot it and then he got very annoyed at me for forgetting it. It's almost like you've 1081 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:05,120 been friends for like. I know. So I now remember his and Gab's. Mark's is on the 9th of January. 1082 00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:14,160 Gab's the 25th of June. Yeah. Congrats. When's your mum's? I got a fucking clue. Yes you do. 1083 00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:22,720 No, I don't know. When? July? Yeah. The? The 8th. And you're the 8th of June. And Fiona's? 1084 00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:30,240 Fucking, I don't know. Oh, come on. Fiona? Fiona? I don't know. I don't know. I'm shit with 1085 00:52:30,240 --> 00:52:39,440 birthdays. This is what I was saying. This is why Ash is the better side on this pod because he 1086 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:46,480 remembers all the names and the fucking the companies and the stats and shit like that. He's 1087 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:50,400 very good at making me look somewhat dumb when it comes to games because I just play the fucking 1088 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:55,440 things and I retain zero information about who made it, when it was made, how much it fucking 1089 00:52:55,440 --> 00:53:01,440 cost. You know what I mean? I don't just play the game like a child. So I'm never, I'm never good 1090 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:06,480 with that, with that type of stuff. Don't put yourself down. Even though I pretty much started 1091 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:17,200 this conversation. But just no. Come on. So yeah. Yeah. So what are you excited for next year? 1092 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:26,000 What am I excited for? You know what? Dead Island. Yeah. Dead Island's going to be a cool one 1093 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:31,840 whenever that comes out. Google when that comes out. That would be fucking sick. Anything, anything 1094 00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:40,000 around slapping zombies around the face. That was 360. So that's PS3. Years ago. So Dead Island 2 1095 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:47,600 is 28th of April, 2023. So it's quite a while before that comes out, but that will be, that 1096 00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:57,120 will be good. In terms of other shit, Mark played the demo for For Spoken. Oh, right. He doesn't 1097 00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:04,560 like it. So it didn't, it didn't grab him. So there's a few things that I'm excited about. 1098 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:10,080 But it's one of them where you don't pay attention to the release date anymore because everything 1099 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:15,920 gets pushed back, which is perfectly okay. I'd rather shit got pushed back and done properly 1100 00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:20,800 than people like we, like we had last year and the year before where people were pandering. So 1101 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:26,480 begging people, look at Cyberpunk wasn't fucking ready, but the pressure that was on CD Projekt 1102 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:34,480 Red to get that out there was so much better. And then the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, 1103 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:39,600 the hell. And then everyone slated them for it. And now they've, they've recovered from it. So I 1104 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:43,360 would much rather a game where World of Warcraft did it, didn't they? With Dragonfly. They pushed 1105 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:49,520 that back. They pushed that back and did a little bit more fine tuning. So I'm all for it. So when 1106 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:55,200 it comes to games that are coming out, I just don't see them as, as that's going to be their 1107 00:54:55,200 --> 00:55:03,280 actual release date until it goes gold, like God of War, then you know the game is done and that's 1108 00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:08,480 coming out at this time. Yeah. See, it's weird. I'll be interested regarding Tears of the Kingdom 1109 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:15,920 because obviously Breath of the Wild was really, really pushed back. I want to say Tears of the 1110 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:21,680 Kingdom is 12th of May. Yeah. At the moment. At the moment. Yeah. God, I waited that for so long. 1111 00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:28,480 And like, when you look at the original, like promo trailer for it, it's completely different 1112 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:32,240 game. The graphics are completely different. Like they just really went oops. And then kind 1113 00:55:32,240 --> 00:55:40,400 of redid it. But then saying that you can't, I'm kind of of the mind where, you know, so March 17, 1114 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:44,960 it was highly anticipated. It immediately did very, very well. You're telling me they didn't 1115 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:49,360 start cracking out ideas for the second one pretty early on. See, I think they've got, 1116 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,040 they've got ideas before they even crack out the first one. That's what I'm saying. And you know, 1117 00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:58,320 so, but you know, you're talking, obviously they had the bit of a dodgy time with the Wii U, 1118 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:02,880 you know, and that I imagine made them a little bit more cautious. And I do really think that 1119 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:10,480 the Switch was kind of a make or break for them. Yeah. And obviously it was a make. Very much so. 1120 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:15,440 And yet the Switch is basically just a more refined version of the Wii U. Like the whole concept of 1121 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:20,720 the Wii U was like that one of the adverts is the kid is playing on the telly and then his dad 1122 00:56:20,720 --> 00:56:24,000 comes in and wants to watch something on the telly. So they switched the thing over and he 1123 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:28,560 carries on playing on the tablet. Like it was so close, but just missed it. But no, I just kind of 1124 00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:34,080 think like they've had a real long time to work on Tears of the Kingdom. You know, it's a long, 1125 00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,400 long time. Yeah. But you want that though. Well, that's what I'm saying. But you know, 1126 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,920 I mean, like I'm hoping that that kind of does mean that it's not going to be pushed back. 1127 00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,800 You know, let's say we'll give them the grace of a year. Let's say they didn't start work, 1128 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:51,120 truly working on it until March 18. No, let's give them a whole year since Breath of the Wild's out 1129 00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:55,920 before they started like going ham, which actually I think is even too much. So I do seem to remember 1130 00:56:55,920 --> 00:57:00,720 still gives you a lot of time confirming a sequel quite early on. I might be wrong. That's a lot of 1131 00:57:00,720 --> 00:57:07,840 time. Yeah, we're really start cracking it out. But then you look at things like GTA six. Where 1132 00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:14,800 the fuck is that? Not even an announcement trailer for that. Yeah. And it's when did well GTA five 1133 00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:18,800 has been through what two different consoles for no started on PS3. 1134 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:26,080 GTA five school. Yeah, school. Yeah. I was in like year 10 because I didn't come in. I completed it. 1135 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:30,080 I had like two days off and completed it. And so when I come back to school, I was like, yeah, 1136 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:39,440 I've already done the story, guys. And I was a king for a week. So you never know. Maybe it will 1137 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:44,720 just get his full on release date. I feel like Nintendo are quite good when it comes to. No, 1138 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:51,280 are they not? No, no, no. But in a way that because they care about the health of their employees, 1139 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:58,320 basically, like with shout out to Blizzard. Yeah. With the with the kickback of animal crossing, 1140 00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:03,680 you know, I'll probably get shoehorned because I'm a girl talking about animal crossing. But anyway, 1141 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:10,080 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this is this, this is our 1142 00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:15,280 podcast. Yeah. Anyone that's got an issue with it, they go fuck themselves. I play games with guns 1143 00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:19,520 in you. You fucking talk about whatever you want. They ain't they ain't paid for this equipment. 1144 00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:23,680 They ain't sitting here fucking talking. Yeah. So we're talking about whatever the fuck we want. 1145 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:29,600 But that was that was pushed back. And they kind of just came out and just said, like, yeah, 1146 00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:37,600 we're not ready. And it's too stressful. And ultimately, tough shit, really. And it in a way, 1147 00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:42,560 it was kind of you. You couldn't be mad because the way they wrote it was just so eloquent and 1148 00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:46,960 just so honest. Yeah. That you were like, yeah, fair game. At the end of the day, I don't want to 1149 00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:54,400 play like a, you know, an unfinished game at the cost of the people who we literally love for 1150 00:58:54,400 --> 00:59:00,240 working so hard to create this game. It would just feel grim. Exactly. And obviously, yeah, 1151 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:05,600 you know, people had their reactions. But no, I was I was genuinely, I was just, I was just 1152 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:11,600 like, no, I was I was genuinely right with it. And that's something that, oh, my God, I was losing 1153 00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:19,600 my head because it came out. I want to say March 23, 2020. And we were sort of like two and a half 1154 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:24,400 weeks into lockdown. You and I weren't seeing each other. We were both going out, you know, 1155 00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:29,120 and working out and about in it. And it was at that time where it's like, if you lose your sense 1156 00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:34,080 of smell, you lose it forever. And even young people, it's getting so, so terrifying. You know, 1157 00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:38,240 coming up, coughing all over you and throwing people's heads. You know, it's a nightmare. 1158 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:45,200 And no fucking toilet roll, toilet roll wars. And yeah, it just came out about the perfect time 1159 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:52,400 because it's just such a distraction. I bought a load of toilet rolls, not to hoard them from 1160 00:59:52,400 --> 01:00:01,040 people, but I genuinely bought some toilet rolls and I bought some. I had two packs of 16 in my 1161 01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:07,600 car when I still worked at Sainsbury's and someone that I was working with, Jane, she was in tears 1162 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:11,760 because she couldn't she couldn't get hold of any toilet paper. And she was like down to her last 1163 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:17,600 roll. So I went to my car and I give her a pack of 16. Just give it to her. She was like, do you 1164 01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:22,240 want any money? I said, no, no, no, that's fine. She was an absolute bitch to me for the rest of 1165 01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:27,760 the time while I was at Sainsbury's. She did not care that I'd just given up gold for her. So I'll 1166 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:33,760 never I'll never do good for an old person again because of that fucking. Well, I remember having 1167 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:41,360 I worked in an unnamed I don't want to be killed for naming the company that I worked for. Why? 1168 01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:45,680 You don't work for them anymore. I know. But nevertheless, I'm frightened. Why? What of who? 1169 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:50,560 What of that company? I'm not comfortable disclosing. No, hold on. What? You're frightened 1170 01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:56,560 of that company. Yeah. Listening. Okay. I ain't going to listen to this. Hello. Have you heard of AI? 1171 01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:02,640 I've just said Sainsbury's. Yeah. And I'm good for you. Hope they don't kill you. Anyway, 1172 01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:12,640 I work for Underscores company. Similar to Sainsbury's. But undisclosed. Thank you. And 1173 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:17,360 they're one of the big four. Stop it. They're going to be able to sniff me out. 1174 01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:25,840 And anyway, they decided because we were also one of the only clothing 1175 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:33,200 that places that were open other clothing places are available. And they were like, 1176 01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:37,760 you know what, in the height of lockdown, like shit's really bad. Like people are dying. 1177 01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:44,480 Let's make all our clothes 50% off. Yeah, it was great. Yeah. And then if you were a colleague of 1178 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:50,240 Underscores location, you actually then it made it about 70%. Yeah. Well, no, it wasn't about 70%. 1179 01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:56,160 What a fantastic month that was for you. Well, and they literally, they, we were in a place where 1180 01:01:56,160 --> 01:02:01,600 we were open on two whole sides and they blocked it in so that we could man an entry and exit 1181 01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,800 because they knew it was going to be mad. I remember you sending me the pictures of that. 1182 01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,440 But the route weren't right, was it? It didn't just lure you around in circles. 1183 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:15,920 They tried to get us to count, count in and count out people browsing clothing. These people who 1184 01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:21,200 have been in lockdown for two months, they've got no joy in their lives. They don't go outside. 1185 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:27,200 And these are the only clothes. These are the only clothes that you can shop like in the world. 1186 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:33,440 No, they had joy, right? These motherfuckers had furlough. This is true. Yeah. Anyway. And I 1187 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:38,960 remember being shouted at so bad by a lady because basically previously before lockdown, you could 1188 01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:42,720 walk through the clothing department to get to the checkouts. And what a lot of people would do, 1189 01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:48,160 because some bright spark put entry and exit on the top, people thought that was exit to the store 1190 01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:53,360 and they would essentially get like trapped in the clothing department. And then because it was set 1191 01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:59,840 up like a maze, it'd also be lost. And obviously who else to blame? But the person stood there in 1192 01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:04,480 uniform. And I just wrote, Oh God, she was really, really effing and blind. And I was like, 1193 01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:08,720 you're still not going to fit through there. You still have to turn around and go. And it was just 1194 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:14,960 such a, people were horrendous during that. I had that, I had that one woman that kept ringing us 1195 01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:20,640 up complaining because we didn't give her her broccoli and I just told her to fuck off on the 1196 01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:26,880 phone. I was so stressed out. Everyone around me was stressed out to fuck as well. And yeah, 1197 01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:32,400 I didn't get my broccoli. I need a refunded now. And it was like 39 P and I was on the phone after 1198 01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:38,000 like the 10th phone call. I just went, listen, fuck off. And just put the phone down. I didn't 1199 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:43,600 get penalized for it. No, it was not. Didn't fucking, people were too busy. Yeah. It was nuts. 1200 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:47,840 It was absolutely nuts. Crazy days. That's our little touch back on to. But then what, so what 1201 01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:54,400 was your, I can't remember. What was your like lockdown game? Was it wow? Kind of? I don't know. 1202 01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:58,160 World of Warcraft's my game. Fucking anywhere I go. I know, I know. I'm thinking about bringing 1203 01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:03,600 the laptop when we go to the Airbnb. Don't worry. I wouldn't look for anywhere that didn't have wi-fi. 1204 01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:10,560 God forbid. Yeah. Don't worry. I know. I can't take you anywhere, dear. It's going to be freezing 1205 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:18,720 outside. My lockdown game, because obviously I weren't playing Warzone. So I didn't get to 1206 01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:25,920 experience any of that. I suppose Call of Duty, it was, I was playing whatever the current COD was 1207 01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:30,640 at the time. Because obviously. But World of Warcraft was a massive one for me. Yeah. It 1208 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:34,560 wasn't too long before you could sort of, because that was the summer, wasn't it? I think I want to 1209 01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:39,520 say summer 2020 was eat out to help out. I.e. don't worry about your health. We need to make 1210 01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:44,400 a bit more money. We went to Wagamama's and spent like 80 quid. But that, because obviously. 1211 01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:49,040 When it was at half price as well. So we got a lot of food. Oh God. More than what we should 1212 01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:53,200 have really got. That was when we waited in that long ass queue for it. Yeah. And then we went. 1213 01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:57,600 Served like instant. And then we went back after the pandemic and it was the wankest experience 1214 01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:01,920 we've ever had. Yeah. Nothing like a bit of raw shrimp. No. Great. Really great. That was the 1215 01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:06,720 stomach. Really great. But no, yeah. That was definitely. I think Animal Crossing was definitely 1216 01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:11,280 my lockdown game. And that's weird. Like you were saying of Elden Ring and. Everyone's lockdown game. 1217 01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:15,040 Yeah. Okay. But I've loved it since I was 10. Yeah. But the amount of switches that must be in a 1218 01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:20,080 drawer now with dust on. 100%. And this is the, I will touch on this. The Charlotte's. Yeah. Your 1219 01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:25,280 sister. It's still in that drawer. Yeah. Both my sisters actually did it. Lou just had the panache 1220 01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:31,440 to sell her. Just give it back. And what you were kind of saying about the Elden Ring TikTok 1221 01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:37,920 virality, let's say. I think that is something that really did propel the Switch and Animal Crossing 1222 01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:44,400 because, and again, just class advertisement is being released at the right time as kind of 1223 01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:50,720 odd as that would seem to say at the right time. Oh, global pandemic. No one could leave. And 1224 01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:57,200 it's funny because like, so Nintendo has the tracker, like all the Switch does has, in fact, 1225 01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:03,040 actually the Wii and the 3DS do as well, but on a more refined basis, the Switch has a, you can see 1226 01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:09,840 how much, how many hours you've sunk in all the time. Yeah. Yeah. And it felt like this is where 1227 01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:17,280 I think it really separated the wheat from the chaff, if you will, because people, people that 1228 01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:22,160 genuinely had a love for it. Stayed with it. Yes. And then all these people come flooding in and 1229 01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:26,240 they think they love it. They think they love it. But like my sister now on her, she only sunk like 1230 01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:30,240 20 hours over a couple of weeks and then it went in a drawer and that was it. Look at all your friends. 1231 01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,320 Exactly. Literally every single one. Even the people, there were some people that did kind of 1232 01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:39,200 persevere. Yeah, but not that. There still ain't no. And the only one that sunk anywhere near me 1233 01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:45,200 is Meg. And lo and behold, Meg is a gamer. Absolutely loved it. The Wild World, which came out, 1234 01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:54,480 I want to say 2006, had that love for it already. See what I mean? It was, it was good for gaming 1235 01:06:54,480 --> 01:07:00,000 because you had suddenly had an influx of all these people that have nothing to do turning to 1236 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:05,840 something like gaming, but at the same time, fuck those people that had nothing to do and turn to 1237 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:11,360 gaming because most of them were the same people that their source of, their only source of fun and 1238 01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:16,080 enjoyment is going out and getting pissed every single fucking weekend that they can. And they're 1239 01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:22,480 the exact same people that rip people like you and me for gaming. And then lo and behold, they 1240 01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:26,960 couldn't go out and spend all their hard earned cash on just getting pissed. So they had to turn 1241 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:33,120 to something else and all gaming was there. Warm fuzzy little gaming was waiting in the corner 1242 01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:39,520 with a big old hug and people loved it because gaming is fucking sick. It's the best thing ever, 1243 01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:44,640 especially when you need time to kill. It's fantastic. I'd be useless without gaming. 1244 01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:50,080 And I think a lot of people would, but it did somewhat bug me because yeah, a lot of people 1245 01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:56,560 that bullied me when I was younger, like in school times for playing like World of Warcraft and 1246 01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:01,680 shit like that, suddenly found themselves with nothing to do and returning to all of these games 1247 01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:07,760 that I've been saying for years are fucking awesome. You need to play it. And then obviously 1248 01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:13,760 the pubs reopened and they scurried back to their fucking little holes. Rats. And I think, you know, 1249 01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:25,680 I got really like briefly excited because I've never really had gamer friends. So I've missed 1250 01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:30,320 out on a hell of a lot of multiplayer games because it, and I've bought them, don't get me wrong, 1251 01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:36,800 I've sunk my dosher into them, but there comes a point at which it gets really like sad and kind of 1252 01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:42,240 getting yourself lonely when you're constantly just matched up with strangers and it's different. 1253 01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:46,320 You can't predict how anything's going to go because you're either going to get someone who 1254 01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:50,640 screams at you, someone who doesn't talk at all. That's exactly why Ash doesn't talk on his. 1255 01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:57,520 Well, I got to my first experience of Fortnite and it was me and he was so young for sure. 1256 01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:02,960 He was this little German boy and my God, he was so script, but I could like kind of work out what 1257 01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:11,280 he was saying. We made it to second place. Not only did I know what I was doing, I had a really 1258 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:17,040 rough kind of idea, but I was also playing it on the Switch so everyone looks like a fucking ant 1259 01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:21,440 because I was playing it handheld and yeah, bless him. He's just screaming and I'm like, 1260 01:09:21,440 --> 01:09:30,400 oh honey, I can't understand you. But we did really well. I can't remember why we didn't win, 1261 01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:38,880 but it was really, really close. Getting yourself gaming is especially games like, 1262 01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:44,800 like wow, massively multiplayer, massive multiplayer online, fucking huge games 1263 01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:54,320 and things like COD and well, any game that's online and has replayability on it. Getting 1264 01:09:54,320 --> 01:10:04,080 yourself into a community where you can make friends and talk to people and play with people 1265 01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:09,840 consistently is so fucking difficult. So difficult. Now I don't know whether that's because 1266 01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:16,080 we're crippled by anxiety or if it's just genuinely difficult because every single person 1267 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:22,400 I've spoken to, look at me and Mark. It was just solidly me and Mark throughout our lifetime in 1268 01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:29,280 secondary school, me and him playing games, no one else. And then even now, like me and Colin 1269 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:35,680 on World of Warcraft or I'd have like Neil or Ian and there would be little pockets of communities, 1270 01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:41,120 but it would never last forever. Look at me with my actual guild from WoW. That was, that was 1271 01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:47,680 hundreds of people, but it never lasted. Even now on WoW, I'm in a guild with people that I know 1272 01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:54,000 and talk to because they were in my guild and I would consider myself friends with them, 1273 01:10:54,800 --> 01:11:00,320 but I don't talk to them when I'm logged in. I don't play with them. I don't group up with them. 1274 01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:06,080 I don't get involved with anything and I can't figure out why and I really struggled to put 1275 01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:13,120 myself, the idea of the thought of being on say a gaming Facebook group and just putting my like, 1276 01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:20,320 my tag in it, like my PSN name or my fucking battle net name and just start like, 1277 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:24,640 cause I see it all the time, people going, this is my battle net looking for people to play with 1278 01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:28,720 and everyone jumps in and go, I'd love to play with you. That'd be great. I can't do that. 1279 01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:29,200 Yeah. 1280 01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:36,400 Because I think if I play with someone, one thing I don't like about them, fuck off. Not interested 1281 01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:40,000 in you cause I'm not invested. I don't know who you are. So see you later. 1282 01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:44,800 See, I think mine's kind of from a different point of view. It's like, it's weird that I do 1283 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:48,400 a similar thing, but maybe for a different reason. And that's the sort of thing like, 1284 01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:56,400 I like towards the end of secondary school, I was friends with a lot of guys who would play 1285 01:11:56,400 --> 01:12:04,160 like very, very similar to me. And they would play online and stuff. And I tried to join in. 1286 01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:11,440 And in a weird way, I think I decided that it would be embarrassing because obviously I've never, 1287 01:12:11,440 --> 01:12:18,880 they're well established into playing these games together and online and I'm not, and I'm a girl. 1288 01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:23,680 And I think more, more of it I put on myself because I don't, there's a couple of them that 1289 01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:30,080 would have liked to make those kinds of jokes, but a lot of them weren't like that. But I decided 1290 01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:34,640 myself that no, that's going to be embarrassing. So I'll be like, Oh, Oh no, sorry. I can't not, 1291 01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:39,440 not on tonight or stuff like that. Because the times that I did go on, I literally did die 1292 01:12:39,440 --> 01:12:46,160 immediately. And one of them was it was read dead online and I, and it was a friend of mine and he 1293 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:52,560 was away. He was doing something else. So he was just standing there and he, I think he told one 1294 01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:57,280 of the others, cause he secretly came back. Oh, sorry. I was just looking at the dog. 1295 01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:01,760 Make sure she's dead. Yeah. He'd secretly come back and everyone had been going up to him and 1296 01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:06,240 like crouching and poking him, whatever. And then they were like, Oh, Steph, you go and do it. And 1297 01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:12,800 as I walked up, he was secretly back and he killed, he hit me with a throwing knife. And then for like 1298 01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:18,800 the rest of school, it was all throwing knife. Like, Oh, so funny. But there it's like almost 1299 01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:24,480 in myself, or I just assume because you do see like girls online and you know, there was one 1300 01:13:24,480 --> 01:13:30,080 on my Tik TOK the other day and, and she just, he wouldn't leave her alone. He wouldn't stop. And he 1301 01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:34,080 was going, send me a picture, send me a picture and all that. And then there was this other one 1302 01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:40,560 where it was, I don't remember what he said, but he said something about like show, show us something 1303 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:45,840 and she was really good and just wiped them out. And then she was like, there it is. And whatever 1304 01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:52,560 she said, it was just class, but it's something that, yeah. When like, when the, like you say 1305 01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:56,000 lockdown and everyone's buying switches and all that stuff. And despite having those comments 1306 01:13:56,000 --> 01:14:01,120 made where it's like, Oh, so what was I 21 when it came, when the switch came out and I was, 1307 01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:06,960 I was living for it coming out. My God, it was my life. Like I'm so excited. So, so excited. 1308 01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:11,040 There hadn't been a genuine like fresh console release for so long. 1309 01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:16,800 They'd already pretty much announced that the three DS line was dead. That's, that's gone. 1310 01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:21,760 And I was just like, Oh shit. Like I've got, you know, really want to look at something to look 1311 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:26,240 forward to. And yeah, a few people made comments about the price you pay in that for that and all 1312 01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:30,000 stuff like that. And I did make the comment of like, you spend like exactly what you said, 1313 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:38,000 you crack on use and I don't judge you for going out spending all your stuff, but like this is, 1314 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:43,200 this is what I want to spend my money on. Um, yeah. It was like hilarious when those people 1315 01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:48,160 then bought them and then kind of didn't, some did and some didn't kind of sustain. 1316 01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:53,920 That's what you're going to pay 70 quid for that game. Yeah. You're about to spend over a 1317 01:14:53,920 --> 01:15:01,680 one on one night out and then shit it away or even throw it up. Fuck off, man. At least mine's 1318 01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:07,360 actually worth something. Oh yeah. But for the memes, fuck off, fuck off. You little cunt. 1319 01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:12,800 It's just fucking annoying. I hate it. It winds me up so much. I hate them. Go fuck yourselves. 1320 01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:16,080 And it's like, it's not necessarily game related, but just while we're talking about 1321 01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:26,240 bug bears of going, I spent like my youth, it was the typical black hair, black eyeliner. Yeah. 1322 01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:31,120 I got called one time, um, of the many times, but the one time that speaks out to me was at a bus 1323 01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:37,520 stop at college and I was heckled from a vehicle and it was, um, fuck off. You grunger. See word. 1324 01:15:38,480 --> 01:15:44,080 And I was like, is this a new low or new high? Am I so grungy? Yeah. 1325 01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:48,560 I'm so offensive to you that you don't even know me. I'm just, I'm waiting for this. 1326 01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:52,960 You're just a child waiting for a bus. And, and it was like, God, I'm so 1327 01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:57,440 offensive to you that you've needed to do that. And what, what, the reason I say it is because 1328 01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:01,600 there were, and I'm sure you can attest and I'm sure lots of people can attest to 1329 01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:09,680 certainly, but way back when you talk in 2010, 2011, about five EMOs, if not per year per school. 1330 01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:16,720 I used to be one. There was hardly any of us and we all got the stick for it. Yeah. We all hid. 1331 01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:25,120 And what really bothered me one is the day that MCR, my chemical romance, if you don't know the 1332 01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:30,000 abbreviation split up, they announced they were splitting. I want to say it was either the 23rd 1333 01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:36,000 or the 25th of March, 2013. And I thought I remember reading it and I read it and was like, oh, 1334 01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:40,000 Oh, and then I walked into my mom's room, which burst into tears. I didn't think I was going to 1335 01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:46,720 cry, but I did. And it really, really upset me anyway. They had a concept album in 2011. 1336 01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:53,120 Right. And it was about a post-apocalyptic world and it was so, so themed. And I had the ray gun 1337 01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:58,640 and all this collectible stuff for it. They got the ray guns. It was called, uh, that was set 1338 01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:05,280 in California, 2019. Okay. Well that's grooming it. Yeah. Set in the future. Yeah. And it was, 1339 01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:11,040 it was like, Oh, so far away. And America was a wasteland and they're like all the videos. 1340 01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:17,440 Not completely wrong. No, yeah. And they're all, they're eating like dog food. They're 1341 01:17:17,440 --> 01:17:24,240 shooting each other. Half of my listenership. Um, what? Just slated off America. And, and yeah, 1342 01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,280 so it was California, 2019. So anyways, 2013, they were supposed to be working on the album. 1343 01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:33,760 They've canned that. They're gone. Okay. And that was that. So when fast forward now, we're now in 1344 01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:38,880 2019. They announced that they're coming back. Bear in mind in 2016, everyone thought they were 1345 01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:42,080 coming back, but it wasn't. It was just a celebration of 10 years of the black parade. 1346 01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:46,720 That got everyone going, but no, no, no. 2019. And they said these words. They were like, 1347 01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:55,120 we told you, we said California 2019. Now I am raging, absolutely fuming because I thought, 1348 01:17:55,120 --> 01:18:02,400 how dare you do that to me? Not just me personally, me. How dare you do that to the fans act like 1349 01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:06,160 you're never coming back. Oh yeah. But we're bored of this by, and then pretend that it was all 1350 01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:09,520 planned. No, you just need new kitchen. Let's be honest. You've run the money's running a bit low 1351 01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:13,600 pots running a bit dry. You thought shit. We'd best get back to it. You know what? It's greasy. 1352 01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:20,800 These cocks again, amount, the amount of people, exactly as you say, they come flooding in who 1353 01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:29,040 they, they actually spoke to me like shit in school. Oh, I love him. So yeah, it was amazing. 1354 01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:33,040 And fair play to him. If they were to embarrass, if they genuinely did like them and they were too 1355 01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:37,280 embarrassed to say that they did because of everything it held around that time, a tough 1356 01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:42,560 place, but don't slay everyone else off for it. Yeah. Don't rip me to pieces for it. And, and I, 1357 01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:47,760 I felt like very much the only one because they announced Milton Keynes shows. Well, 1358 01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,480 they're not shows all over the world, but these particular shows, they weren't coming to London. 1359 01:18:50,480 --> 01:18:54,320 They were coming to Milton Keynes. I don't know what the fuck you picked Milton Keynes anyway. 1360 01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:59,280 Yes. Lincoln park did the same thing. Milton Keynes. And it was going to be, 1361 01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:05,840 can't remember the date, but basically COVID. Thanks back COVID happened. You know what? I was 1362 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:12,800 like, ha, yeah, fuck you. Yeah. Yeah. You deserve it. Yeah. Right. And then it rescheduled, I want 1363 01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:17,680 to say it was either June this year or June the year before, or whatever time it actually got 1364 01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:23,520 rescheduled, wasn't fucking interested. And people like that, mate, mates of mine went and I'm sure 1365 01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:28,320 they had a lovely time. And I'm just, oh, no, no, no, no. I wasn't interested in, at the end of the 1366 01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:34,240 day, the last time I saw them was 2011 was February. And I'd seen them the first time was about a 1367 01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:39,120 couple of months before that last time I see them. And my mum got me tickets and they were right up 1368 01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:44,640 the back in the nosebleeds and couldn't even see them. You know what I mean? But that room was full 1369 01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:51,760 of people like me and it was great. And I was not about to go and be surrounded by the people that, 1370 01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:56,240 you know, and I'm not saying that these people are pretending by any means. Like I say, I think 1371 01:19:56,240 --> 01:20:00,560 it's more than likely that they just didn't feel comfortable expressing that part because school, 1372 01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:05,200 I think in those, and I'm sure it still is now, but yeah, I don't think it's changed. It was rough 1373 01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:12,320 as fuck. And yeah. And I just thought, no, no. And it's, as I say, I know you feel the same with 1374 01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:17,360 games and I do to an extent. What used to bug me is that I would always get, I would always get stick 1375 01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:23,520 for playing the games that I played by the people that played FIFA. And it was always, I was always 1376 01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:28,800 like, but you're, you're gaming. Same game every year. Yeah. But even if it isn't, you're gaming. 1377 01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:34,560 You're gaming as well. You're having to, you're having to dig at me for playing a different type 1378 01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:39,520 of game when I could be digging at you for playing possibly one of the shittest, but somehow the most 1379 01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:46,560 popular games of all time. Forgive my ignorance, but is FIFA literally pretty much the same every 1380 01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:50,960 year? They just add new people and update the stats or is there a difference? They change it with the 1381 01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:55,200 football seasons, isn't it? Right. But what I mean is- So the kids change. Like I remember one guy, 1382 01:20:55,200 --> 01:21:02,320 his name was Johnny Turner. Mark, I remember him. Fucking little prick. Right. Popular kid. 1383 01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:07,760 What if he's your secret height? Like best fan? Every year you can go fuck yourself. Right. I 1384 01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:14,800 don't care. And I remember him raving, going, they've changed the colour of the boots. Fuck off. 1385 01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:19,360 How, what are you on about? You've just paid 60 bones for this because they've changed the colour. 1386 01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:24,080 Fuck it. Yeah. I don't understand. I used to like FIFA and I've said to Ash before, 1387 01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:26,880 you throw FIFA in front of me and you force me to play it. I'm going to like it. 1388 01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:33,680 I just will. Yeah, because it's a fun game, but it's the people that played it that put me off. 1389 01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:38,240 They can go fuck themselves. Yeah. And it's not all of them, but I will lob you all into the same 1390 01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:44,160 fucking barrel because I just spent my whole childhood being bullied by people that played 1391 01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:50,160 FIFA. And I thought, oh, you are thick. You're such a prick. And most of those people are dickheads 1392 01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:54,880 now. Now they're adults. I think the things, I think maybe that's why, you know, I think a lot 1393 01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:58,800 of people... Getting a lot off our chest. Yeah. This is basically like, this is what's the button. 1394 01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:03,520 Therapy. We will have to cut it eventually because this is going to go on forever. 1395 01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:08,080 But I think, yeah, the thing that we all like, like you were just saying about hit and run, 1396 01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:10,800 it leaves such a mark on you when you're younger. And I just think that 1397 01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:16,160 the things people say and how people act, that kind of leans into it as well. Yeah, man. You 1398 01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:21,040 know, where, you know, like even then, technically you don't even not like FIFA, but you can't 1399 01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:24,960 bring yourself to not. I won't touch it. Yeah. I will not fucking touch it. Even if it's in the 1400 01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:29,360 bargain bucket, I ain't fucking going near it. But gaming is one of those incredible things. 1401 01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:36,560 If you bully people for the games they play, go fuck yourself. Because I don't bully people 1402 01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:43,360 for the games they play. I just throw my opinion about those games. I'm not bullying them. I just 1403 01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:48,400 think that they play shit. Play whatever the fuck you want. I just throw my opinion. This has been 1404 01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:54,560 a very raw podcast. My God. It's been decent. Lay in the soul bare. I want to leave it with one last 1405 01:22:54,560 --> 01:23:04,000 bit. Sam Parks. He is the first friend of the podcast, according to our Patreon. And he spends 1406 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:09,760 the big bucks. And according to you, Anash. What? He's the first friend. Oh, he is. Of course he is. 1407 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:14,880 Sam Parks is the first person to interact with this podcast. And he's the first person that we 1408 01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:20,800 had no fucking idea who he was to interact with the podcast. So for us, we were like, fucking hell. 1409 01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:26,720 We've touched a soul that we didn't even know existed. And I found that awesome. So it'll be 1410 01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:35,680 listening to this. So thanks, Sam. You're fucking awesome. Anyway, he tweeted the pod and basically 1411 01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:40,240 said that I'm missing out because I haven't completed Horizon Zero Dawn or Horizon Forbidden 1412 01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:50,240 West. Now I have Horizon Zero Dawn on my PlayStation. And he said that if I completed both of them, 1413 01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:57,760 he'd throw in an extra 10 or a month towards the Patreon. Big bucks. Big, big bucks. Now, 1414 01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:02,080 he said that I'm missing out. I believe I'm missing out. I'm going to go back to him. 1415 01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:07,120 I'm going to go back to it because I'm going to have a different turn on it because I feel that I 1416 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:14,480 did enjoy it. I didn't not like Horizon. Just for some whatever reason, I got like two thirds of 1417 01:24:14,480 --> 01:24:20,240 the way through and just stopped. So I've decided that you can keep your money, Sam. You know what 1418 01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:24,960 I mean? If and when I complete both of them. I imagine it's going to take you a fair time. 1419 01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:29,920 Don't feel obliged to fucking bump the dough up. But it is a big time investment. But I'm going to 1420 01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:36,240 re-download Zero Dawn. I'm going to buy Forbidden West. Not straight away. I'm going to see. I'm 1421 01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:41,120 going to either finish Zero Dawn or I'll buy it about halfway through when the prices drop a little 1422 01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:46,400 bit because it's still like 60 quid. Are you going to start from the start? Yeah, I'll start from the 1423 01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:56,160 start. Big time investments going on. But for the sake of the podcast, for the sake of Sam, I will 1424 01:24:56,160 --> 01:25:01,920 do this. I don't know whether he'll like me saying his full name, but you can fuck yourself if you 1425 01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:08,160 don't. I suppose no. It's on Twitter, isn't it? Otherwise, how would you know it? Yeah, he tweets 1426 01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:15,760 it in his full name. So for you, Sam, I will do that. I can't tell you that I'm going to have 1427 01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:23,760 it done next week, but I'll do it. I just don't know when. I'll chip away at the mold. My time is 1428 01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:28,480 very invested into World of Warcraft at the moment for fear of missing out. There's a load of shit 1429 01:25:28,480 --> 01:25:34,240 that I'm doing, but I will do that. I'll in fact, after this part, I will probably switch on the 1430 01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:38,960 PlayStation to start the download while no one else is in the house, while the old Wi-Fi isn't 1431 01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:46,400 being hogged. But yeah, we'll leave it there. Exciting. Me and Steph are going to finish 1432 01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:51,440 recording this and then we're actually going to press play again. Press the record button again, 1433 01:25:51,440 --> 01:25:58,400 because we will be recording our first exclusive episode for the Jedi club tier on our Patreon. 1434 01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:02,800 Oh my God, that's so exciting. Just hearing you say that is so exciting. Which is five pounds and 1435 01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:09,360 up. So yeah, he'll be listening to it. Well, that's the thing though. He's hearing spirit. 1436 01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:16,960 Obviously, well, I suppose he can log into the Patreon himself because he's got the login. So 1437 01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:21,840 he'll be able to have access to it, listen to it because that'll be the only place. So we'll 1438 01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:30,240 record a little mini episode for exclusive to that tier for our Patreon. So yeah, he'll be able to 1439 01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:34,800 listen to that. So it's goodbye peasants. Yeah. See you later people that won't pay. 1440 01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:46,240 Yeah, five quid and up and every episode that we do, we'll do an extra bit after an exclusive 1441 01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:50,960 section. Haven't actually figured out what we're going to talk about, but I feel I'm trying to get 1442 01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:57,440 more involved with the Patreon side of it and more than welcome to ideas that people can fling at us 1443 01:26:57,440 --> 01:27:02,400 for us to talk about and things like that. But yeah, we're going to finish this episode. We're 1444 01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:08,880 going to start recording the other episode and we will catch everyone next week. Thanks again, 1445 01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:13,760 Steph, for helping us out with this one. I'm sure it won't be the last time. And when we get that 1446 01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:18,640 extra equipment to get more people on, you'll be the first person to bang on it straight away. 1447 01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:28,240 Be fantastic. But for now, yeah, we're fucking off. And it's an URU from me. 1448 01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:46,640 I'm fucking off. See you later. URU.
