Hi, everybody. Hi everybody, welcome back to the Tri-Fizzle Pod-Kizzle.
We're back.
It's me, Pyrene Flax, and Lewis.
We made it, again, for the third week in a row.
We did it.
We're really consistent.
We're on a schedule.
Much like pooping, right? Like We're on a schedule. Much like pooping, right?
Like you poop on a schedule.
We record this podcast on a schedule too.
Unfortunately, it clashes with our poop schedule.
I know.
It's an uncomfortable sesh.
Well, I've got an adult diaper, so I'm good.
Nice.
Yeah.
What brand?
It's weird.
It's weird, like the whole concept of an adult diaper, though, right?
Because adults, you know, like, a diaper works on a baby
because babies' poops are liquid because all they do is drink milk, right?
But, like, an adult's poop is not always liquid.
Sometimes it's a big log.
And that must be awkward when, you know, you just poop in a diaper
and you just got this huge bulge sticking out the back.
Not to mention uncomfortable.
Really uncomfortable.
Yeah.
Like if you sat down with that in there, like would it just try to like go back up your ass?
You get used to it.
Just smudge like all over your cheeks or what?
I don't know.
Retempting re-entry.
Yeah. I have no idea
I don't really want to get to the point in my life
where I find out either
actually like
I don't know like if I ever get to the point in my life
where I have to wear adult diapers someone
just fucking kill me you have my permission
like I don't even think that's considered murder
like if you see me
walking down the street and there's a big bulge in my
around my ass and i'm wearing an adult diaper just fucking kill me hit me with your car or
whatever like just just end end me and you have my permission yeah that's exactly it i listened
to a podcast a couple years ago uh i did not murder this man he was willing he was willing
to be killed by me.
He'd shit himself and he's wearing an adult diaper.
Case closed.
Give this man a medal, not a sentence.
This guy needs an iron cross.
He's done the whole world a service by taking out this pants pooping man.
Do you want to put it on a gravestone as well?
Yeah.
He died.
Had a good life until he shit his pants as an adult then he died
oh fuck yeah so what have you guys been up to this week anything fun um do you know what because
we've recorded this for three weeks in a row we haven't really done anything in the last week me
and pflex have played a game of civ 5 which was like doing a in 5k run or something
it was like an endurance marathon it's like very exhausting it was hardcore every morning really
yeah yeah because it was um we're playing the no quitters mod right and so there are some
differences and we originally started off with this dynamic turn timer right so it starts off and the turns are fairly short and we're whipping through it.
And then he suddenly hit this era and the turns are like three minutes long.
And if you're having a really good game, it takes forever because you've got a lot to manage.
If you're having a bad game, you're probably tabbed out and doing something else.
So it's like, can you win your turn?
Oh, yeah, sorry.
But this like a minute has passed and we had the same old technical problems
that there always are with multiplayer Civ V.
So, yeah, a lot of the time,
we were just waiting for the turn times to end,
and then, in between sessions,
we went back and changed it
so that the turn timer was, like, a minute
or something like that, or 50 seconds,
which was nowhere near enough time.
So we're just, like, going,
oh, shit, I've got so much to do,
and the turns are, like, accelerating. It was crazy. It've got so much to do. And the turns are like accelerating.
It was,
it was crazy.
It was just so,
and it was a really,
really good game.
Low tap,
definitely one of the best games of Civ V,
I can remember.
There seemed to be something happening constantly.
It's good because we've gotten a bit better.
We've got our meta in,
you know,
and we had the game and it was me and Ben and Duncan and Pflex,
and we're all fairly competitive now.
And so we play at like a decent level.
And Shin was in there and he's a little bit of a wild card.
And Cath was in there as well.
He's sort of an unknown quantity as well
because he's not really played with us before.
And so it was just a very stressful game at all stages.
Everyone had to turn up early because it takes ages.
You had to get everything set up. And then Civ V civ 5 so poorly coded it took us about an hour to connect
it's just so tedious and we finally get in and we have to like battle with lag and diplomacy and
actually do the battles because everyone's it towards it gets towards the end there's this
sort of scrab scrabble around because everyone thinks oh this guy's slightly ahead this guy's
slightly ahead we have to there's like three or four people scrabbling for because everyone thinks, oh, this guy's slightly ahead, this guy's slightly ahead. We have to, there's like three or four people
scrabbling for like trying to come out
on the top of this pile because, you know,
you don't want to, you know, you want to get
other people to warm and grind themselves down
but not let yourself get ground down too much
by that process.
Right.
So it ends up people switch sides
and backstabs all the time.
It was great.
It was great.
Oh, it's so tiring though.
Yeah, it sounds fun.
Civ 5, I like enough.
I mean, I should join you guys again at some point,
but at this point,
because you guys have been playing so much
and I was only in like the first couple of games,
I feel like a lot of you are just so much better
at the game now
that I'm just going to be completely useless.
Like I was already useless to begin with, but even more so now, like I'd have to like power game in my
spare time. Well, here's the thing though. So what we would really like to do is put together a game,
which we're going to do in a couple of weeks, which is going to be noobs only. So it's going to
be, um, all the people who want to play, but aren't hot, like Caff, Mark Humes, he plays a bit.
Tom's not too very good at it.
Shin's still pretty bad at it, so he's all right.
But most of these people, there's a lot of people who, and Trott and Smith,
the people who couldn't really, maybe couldn't get into our, or didn't want to play with the stressful game.
Yeah, yeah.
So you could always join that
if you're up for it
but again like you know
we're all busy
we've got things to do
you're going away all of Christmas pretty much
all of Christmas
all of summer
aren't you
I think of it like Christmas
because it is your Christmas
go to TI isn't it Pflex
that hasn't been announced
yeah
but will it be
well you're hoping to go to TI
I am hoping
so nothing's been announced but I am hopeful that I'll be going.
And the problem is you generally don't find out until very close to the time.
So no talent's been announced.
Nobody knows for sure if they're going.
You can only sort of live in hope.
So, yeah, I mean, it's like two weeks away.
Last time, last year, I was out there for like five weeks.
I was in the States.
When will I know?
Hopefully in the next two or three weeks, I'll get it confirmed.
Yeah, because last year when you went, you went to Florida after, right?
Yeah, I did.
And you were staying at 1259 Mulberry Lane in Orlando.
Postal code is K19327.
And the phone number of the place that you're at was of course
555-9293
and you were staying with a guy
named Billy Bathgate
and you had a really good time there didn't you
it was really good
you were gone for like 6 weeks
I was gone for ages
I went out there for TI
the group stage
and then the main event.
And then I had three weeks.
There was like a 10-day gap, and I was going to drive across America.
That was my plan, because I'd never done it on my own.
Yeah, I was just going to hire a car.
You can pick up a car in Seattle.
And my dad lives in Florida.
So not Orlando, by the way.
I was going to drive to Florida, where my dad lives.
And he said, don't do it. For dad lives and he said don't do it for the love of god don't do it and i said it's what for seattle to um to florida yeah
you were going to drive that yeah yeah yeah i would have taken you like a week yeah yeah i mean
that's the thing i had 10 days like the thing is i was meeting mrs f and the kids in florida like
i was going to pick them up from the airport and everything like that but that wasn't for 10 days
so i literally had a 10 day road trip exactly so you're going to go on a big road trip.
Exactly. So I thought I'll go on a little road trip. I'll drive across America. I'll see all
the sites. I've never been in the middle bit. I've been to Texas, California. I've been to
Seattle, obviously. And I've been to Florida and New York and New England. I've been all around
there and stuff, and Pennsylvania and stuff, but I hadn't been in the middle. i'd never even really flown over the middle so i had no idea i don't think anyone
likes the middle though that's the thing it's really fucking boring like the midwest you've
got like places like fargo and denver and like who fucking cares nobody wants to go to those places
well that's probably why your dad did you favor no he did he'd done that he'd done the drive i
don't know i think your dad sounds like a kill. No, he did. Don't drive through those places. He'd done that. He'd done the drive from Florida.
I don't know.
I think your dad sounds like a killjoy.
I'd like to do it.
It sounds good.
People do it all the time.
It does sound good, doesn't it?
But think about this.
I then flew from Seattle to Florida, which takes me neatly, directly in line across where
I would have driven.
Oh, so you just look down the whole time.
You're like, yeah.
I feel like I've done it now.
This is fine.
I feel like I've been there.
I was like, I just- I'm just joking about- It's fucking flat as shit that's all it is is super super flat and farmy and i just
thought jesus this would have been boring because it's literally there's a road yeah and i've been
flying for half an hour and i'm still over that road and it's just perfectly straight and there's
nothing i'm thinking this might seem fun at first but fuck me you can't you can't do it on your own
and i think you have to have someone to take the shift.
You do.
You have to have a group of guys and throw a mattress off a hotel roof and kill a prostitute and stuff like that.
Otherwise, it's not worth doing.
That has to be an adventure.
Just before we stray off this one, if you're from Fargo or Denver and you're listening to this right now and you're really angry, please, no hate.
I just said it as a joke, okay? I don't have anything against Fargo or Denver I'm sure that they're really nice
places and actually the whole middle part of the USA is probably really nice why did you just
message me private message me on steam saying fuck Fargo fuck Denver why did you do that why are you
saying that and then he's full of shit you just you just steam messaged me fuck fargo yeah this is exactly
like a profile to fuck fargo this is awful sebs i i said politics though this apology is bullshit
he's playing he's playing the political game people of fargo i come to you today to present
to you evidence that indeed a man thinks your town is shit but that movie was good
though i like the movie was and the tv series as well i haven't watched that everyone said it was
loosely based on real things that have happened but not at all actually apparently it's all fiction
so yeah it is that was weird actually uh the whole this is based the following is based on a true
story and that completely changed my take on the movie completely because i was like oh my god how
did i never hear about this and then they were like yeah we were just lying i mean it's yeah i just
thought it was like wow that's that's weird it's really interesting the way that played with the
audience i was thinking holy shit this is real well i mean i'm somebody who never goes off and
and double checks things to see like if they're real or whatever so i was happy enough to go on
the assumption that it was a true story and told everyone i knew i was like can you believe that's a true story like that's crazy yeah
and then a couple of people were like well hey listen it's not actually a true story i was like
you fucking shut up you shut your mouth no i'm just joking well there was a whole thing around
this was next i remember there was that urban legend about the the japanese lady who went to believe fargo was real and went to look for the money and died of hypothermia
well looking for for the money is that not true well it was it was it well it was a story wasn't
it because it was made into a couple of films um based on that sort of urban legend one film
but i mean i think the real story the real truth of it behind it is that she
had actually been it was a woman who was very very depressed and decided to come to minneapolis
because it was a place she'd previously visited with her lover who was a married american
businessman oh and uh she decided to commit suicide there apparently all right so got drunk
and and died but yeah everyone thought that she was it sort of formed this urban legend
that she was looking for the
Fargo money
of course that wasn't
that was fictional
but that was the thing about Fargo
it opened up with the line
this is a true story
I think this is a true story
that very clearly isn't
yeah I know it isn't true it isn't very clearly isn't um yeah no it is it isn't
true it isn't very clearly though because that's kind of believable it's not like it's not so far
fetched is it like i don't think it's like too far fetched but it's it's clever it's a good movie
and good story and stuff anyway yeah and the tv shows are good i like what's his face in it um
you know the guy martin Frodo Frodo Baggins
yeah
or is he Bilbo
I can't remember
he's looking for the ring
can't remember
he's Bilbo
he's looking for love
in all the wrong places
in all the wrong rings
I think wasn't that the tagline
for Leisure Suit Larry
it was yeah
yeah looking for love
in all the wrong places
that was my dad's
shape up or slip out
favorite series of games
for such a long time
Leisure Suit Larry in the land of lounge lizards yeah what was there was a couple of passionate patty remember
passionate patty i played all those yeah me too the shit out of those games it was so bad but god
they were really really bad yeah it's like the golden age of adventure gaming yeah you actually
had to type shit in as well like pick up condom yeah i don't know what a
condom is larry or there was just some stupid ass joke like why would you ever need one of those
larry ha ha you're never gonna have sex in this game that's the one joke we're gonna drag it out
we're gonna make sure we make that one every time you do something do you remember the uh the the piracy the anti not the
anti-piracy thing it was the the age uh verification at the start of that game yeah was it it would ask
you it had a quiz that only grown-ups would know the answers to like yeah who was the vice president
when so and so was the president how big was john denver's boil on his ass cheek and just stuff like
that but what we did was i mean it was multiple choice
so all you had to do was yeah write down the questions and the answers and then just guess
the answer right down the right one beat it ingenuity yeah it was really good they were
great games that was the those were the sierra adventure games back when when sierra made games
and didn't just happen to sierra? I think they're still a publisher.
I think they still publish some games,
but I don't think they have a thriving adventure game studio anymore.
Because they made SimCity, didn't they?
Like, that was a Sierra game.
The original SimCity?
Yeah, I think they did.
No, I think it was always Maxis.
I'm sure it was always Maxis.
Yeah, but I'm sure Sierra had something to do with it.
I'm probably wrong.
Sierra more recently, which is not actually recent at all,
made Evil Genius.
You remember that game?
Yeah, I like that game.
You know the guy who coded that is that AI wizard.
What's his name?
AI wizard.
Oh, God, what's his name?
Bobby Fisher.
No, no.
What's that game called? The Republic? Not the chess guy. No, not chess. She's like an AI wizard, no? No, but he was involved in
that, in making that. So that was made by Demis Hassabis. Okay, so he worked on Evil Geniuses.
That was one of the games that he worked on. Because he made this game called The Republic, which was meant to be this huge sort of sprawling, intelligent game. And it didn't quite
work out. Was that a web game?
No, it wasn't. No.
It was like a web-based game? Or I'm thinking of something else.
Yeah, but it was really meant to be like something.
Oh, cool.
But so yeah, so he did that. And then he did Evil Genius, which was good. And then
he stopped doing video games switched to
cognitive neuroscience and he co-founded deep mind technologies which then became deep mind which
beat you know the alpha the go guy so right because i always thought the ai wasn't too bad
in evil geniuses and now you know why there you go because it was a genius doing the coding for
there was an actual guy an AI expert behind the whole thing.
Yeah.
Fucking crazy.
And now he's working on Skynet.
Yeah, fully.
We're dead.
Oh, man.
So, I mean, going across America, right?
Let's go back to this.
I imagine there's actually a really amazing road trip route
that goes, you know, through all the really fucking amazing places
across America. route that goes you know through all the really fucking amazing places across america like um
you know the the redwoods and you know through all the fucking national parks and stuff it's
gotta be i mean there's a i read a bit i read um uh zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance
right there was quite famous 20 years ago yeah yeah um and it's got so it's a book. It was quite famous 20 years ago. Yeah, yeah. And it's got, so it's a funny old book,
but it's kind of about like this guy's sort of attitude to stuff.
And he makes a big deal of how he went across America
on his motorbike and sidecar with his son and with his family
and places like this.
And they didn't, they stuck to the back rows.
Okay, that was their sort of mantra.
They always went along. They never went along their sort of mantra. They always went along.
They never went along the sort of big, huge freeways.
They always just went and found stuff.
It was really kind of nice.
It's something I'd really like to do.
So, PFLAX, if you want to do that sometime, man,
I'll come and go halves with you on the driving.
Sweet.
Nice.
You guys can just hold each other on a motorbike,
take turns driving.
I'll be in the sidecar.
Can you drive a car, Lewis?
You can drive?
You can sit in the sidecar and read the map on your phone.
Of course I can drive.
What do you mean, of course you can drive?
I've never seen you drive a car.
I don't even believe you own a car.
I don't own a car anymore.
I used to have an Alfa Romeo, though.
I used to drive around a lot.
Oh, wowzers.
All right, Mr. Big Shot, then you can fucking pay for the whole trip and do all the driving.
Hi, I would like to rent a Lamborghini for one month. Yes, me and my friend are doing a road trip across America.
Pat Films did that road trip from LA to Vegas. Yeah, that was actually one of the things that I was thinking of doing post-TI last year
was two of my buddies were going to meet me in LA.
We were going to go to a couple of parties
and we were going to drive to New Orleans.
So we were going to go,
like that LA to Vegas is like a classic drive.
And we were going to do that,
hang out in Vegas for a few days,
drive to New Orleans,
hang out there for a bit.
New Orleans.
And then they'd fuck off home
and I'd go on to Florida.
And that would have been cool.
But in the end, they were like, it's going gonna cost thousands of dollars so i said yeah it is costly like a lot of people there's a lot of people who can do it for cheaper going on holiday no places
to go always expensive sleep on people's floors and stuff like that it's like um yeah you know
in the 90s when you were in like a rock band and you were just starting out you had to go touring yeah around america that's what you do right you'd have a van
like an old secondhand van that you'd put all your equipment in drive around do your shows and stuff
and then you would fans would offer you a place to sleep and you would take your sleeping bag and
sleep on the floor and stuff and it would keep the costs down because you're banned good times you got to eat you got to play shows and you need beer money and also
money for cocaine and prostitutes i imagine like a road trip is a pretty a relatively it's kind of
it can be really cheap if you're smart about it but if you're if you're really dumb and you stay
in like you know overpriced hotels like in in the city and stuff like that it can be pretty
expensive yeah so here's a game that sierra published half-life oh shit yeah back in the day
yeah they would have yeah because they were based in bellevue so as far as i know they're still going
i i think they i just think that they've their their activity is is minimal i think they're
owned by Activision.
And it said here,
on August the 7th, 2014,
the website for Sierra,
which previously redirected to Activision,
which isn't a good sign,
was updated,
showcasing a new logo,
teasing that more to be revealed
at Gamescom 2014.
The revived Sierra Entertainment
will re-release some of their older games,
re-imagine their older franchises.
And then it says that they did
a few other things i always remember
saying the king's quest and geometry wars was a run out so two games above the server they were
yeah king's quest space quest they did all the space quest leisure suit larry those were like
the big sierra franchises back in the day do you remember hero's quest hero's quest yeah yeah
they didn't trademark that shit really so they had to rename it why would they
just didn't so when the game hero quest came along the board game hero quest which i think
was like mattel or hasbro they copyrighted it and i had that that game that board game
have you seen all the fucking little figures we painted the shit out of those have you seen the
video why hero quest is the greatest board game of all time no i haven't i should check it out
i played i used to play it a lot we had a really good time playing it too it was fun Have you seen the video, Why HeroQuest is the Greatest Board Game of All Time? No, I haven't. I should check it out.
I used to play it a lot.
We had a really good time playing it, too.
It was fun.
It was really simple, too. This big bearded Aussie guy pointing out every single thing that he loves about HeroQuest
and what a great game it is.
It's brilliant.
It's absolutely brilliant.
You've got to watch it.
I'll check it out.
That sounds good.
We should do that for Games Night.
Yeah.
It's like D&D Lite. It's a really simple game to play games night yeah it's like um it's like dnd light
like it's it's really simple it's super light yeah yeah it's it's it's it's very fun though
i've never played it hey listen um so i did a we did a road trip well we did many road trips as
as a family like when i was growing up sort of thing but one of the road trips that we did
was we drove from Ottawa to Orlando,
which is like two or three days driving.
And it takes you through like all the great Eastern states like New York and like North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, like states like that.
You left Georgia off that list. Not a fan?
Well, I don't remember going through it.
It was all a bit of a blur i was pretty young at the time but yeah i remember we got we we we got
into like florida state and we were making our way down to orlando and i think it just timing
wise we i think we had to like stop in jacksonville or something because it was really late we had to
stay over sort of not a great town no offense jacksonville but you're a hole but anyway one
thing i i distinctly remember being sort of like surprised by we we were driving down we stopped
off at a diner to eat lunch and we we got in there it was like oh table for four because i had like
younger brother or whatever so we sat down and we were just sitting there like looking at menus and
stuff and then two like highway patrol
guys came in you know with the fucking aviators and like the weird you know scout hats and you
know a big gun holster right now yeah they had like the big gun holsters and like these like
fucking magnums and stuff and they walked in and they were you know doing like the posturing and
stuff and they're like oh yeah we need two tables please and there's two of them and i was like at the time i was pretty young i was at times like
well maybe they just don't want to sit together like maybe they just want like to sit at their
own tables like they're on a break or something like i didn't get it so like i watched them
and so so they went over like in the corner of this diner and there was two tables and they both
sat at one table and i was like okay well what the fuck
and then they just started fucking unloading guns onto the other table okay so they they actually
had a gun table um that just had like a shotgun on it from the car and like all of these guns
taking out they weren't firing the guns i sorry i thought they were firing the guns at people at
another table for a second but no they would they were unholstering guns okay i hope they'd leave a
decent tip if they were just like unloading like these guns onto the table they had like like
little fucking like like like boot holstered guns that they took out and stuff and they just
completely de-gunned to sit down and
have like coffee and then there's just like this mountain of weapons on this table beside them it
was fucking weird and then um i sort of said to my dad like oh is that what you guys do because
my dad was like a cop um in ottawa and he's like no no we don't have like that many guns
that was it it's like so weird it was just we don't have like that many guns. In Canada. It's like so weird.
It was just so fucking weird.
Like Florida cops.
How much they had like what?
Six or seven guns each.
It was nuts.
It was like, I was just like waiting for one of them to just get a bazooka out and put that on.
And like, it was just crazy.
And it was, I think it was the first time that I sort of realized that American and Canadian cultures is very similar, but very different at the same time.
Like there's just certain things that they do in America that are just so fucking alien to Canadians.
And I think the gun table was definitely one of them.
It was really weird.
I think the thing about America and especially when it comes to decisions about the police or the military and stuff like that,
especially when it comes to decisions about the police or the military and stuff like that,
is that it is actually, it's hard to argue with the fact that if you're going to be a cop and there's a potential that you might have to shoot people,
you should really have a shitload of guns so that if it comes down to it,
your police officer is not going to get killed.
Like if you're going to send people out saying, okay, you guys are going out,
you'll be like a hundred miles from anywhere on a motorcycle.
You don't want to be able to just give them a fucking pea shooter and it all it all comes around because um
police just used to have like a fucking revolver right yeah that's all they used to have just their
little six-shot revolver pew pew pew and then it's like well yeah but they started giving them
pepper spray they had the stick as well you know they could do those fancy moves with the stick but
all the thing is if i've got a gun and you're like click click well to the stick i go what are you gonna rush yeah but you could like what if you
what it depends what the stick's made of because you could like genji that shit right you'd like
raw like deflect the shots and stuff that'd be pretty good but that's the uh i don't think but
i just feel like that the american response to any kind of threat is well i'm not good out there
without a fucking machine gun
Yeah
Well what if they have machine guns
You're right we better have a tank
Hey Sarge I'm going to need a minigun for this patrol
No problem
Check it out
Take it from the machine gun locker
Make sure if you go to a diner you put the minigun on a different table
It might knock over your sandwich
We need a minigun table, please.
This one is too big to add to the mountain
of other armaments that we've brought
into the diner today.
Everybody clear out.
We've got to bring a tank into the diner.
We've got to park it in the diner.
You guys have any bigger parking spots outside?
We've got a tank here.
It's a police tank, okay?
Not only does it shoot shells but it's
got a battering ram to knock down doors for crack houses as well that's right the tank is hungry
two chicken sandwiches for us and a bacon to go
and then the fucking lady goes out on roller skates two milkshakes for the tank shove the sandwiches down the turret
fuck me
but that's the way they roll
they're like
it makes perfect sense
really
if you have a situation
where you're going to need guns
why don't we have the biggest guns
like that's pretty much it
we need more guns
that's how you combat guns
yeah
exactly
it's crazy
and it's hard
it is hard to argue against that like
it's i mean the thing is you know canada and england are i think quite similar in a lot of
ways and that we're just or britain i should say it kind of like well we don't really need guns if
we need them we'll worry about it when we need them but not everybody walks around carrying a
fucking gun in the uk no i mean in canada there are lots of guns like you know hunting is is a
big thing in canada lots of people have hunting rifles and stuff at home but the the control around them and the permit issuing and everything
is a lot tighter and better controlled in canada so whilst there's lots of guns um they're you know
you you're required to lock them up properly you're required to do all this stuff because like
i guess in america a part of the problem is that guns a lot of the
times you know like it it's it's easy enough to go into a store and and get a gun if you have a
permit or whatever i don't know exactly how it works but a lot of guns are stolen from people's
houses right and like and that's and that's a huge problem as well and i guess like having to
to lock them up properly or like hide them or whatever is like you know a thing that they do in canada so
a lot less end up on the streets but i mean i i guess like gun crime is still a bit of a problem
in canada but it's obviously nowhere close to what it is in the in the states like it's i mean it's
clearly nothing like i know that people are saying like this is one of those arguments is going to
run and run and it's it's a huge debate about a couple of sentences that were written
like 200 years ago in the papers, the constitution and everything.
They wrote down the people, organized militia and everything.
And there's so much debate about what that means and whether it's relevant
and whether it still applies.
But there's so many fucking guns in America.
Whenever I go over there, I'm amazed at the number of people walking around just carrying guns.
They've just got a gun.
They've got one on their hip or their car has got a gun rack on
or you go into Walmart and there's fucking a whole aisle of guns
and ammo and stuff.
And I'm just like, wow, it really is such a big thing.
And I just wonder, is it just that?
Like, is it just the fact that guns are so commonplace
and so usual that it's like
i'm gonna argue with this person i'm gonna get my fucking gun out and i'm gonna show him his bus
the thing is as well and and something that a lot of people don't consider is that there are a lot
of people who just like guns like they just want to own guns and they like them and they think
they're fucking cool and they want to shoot them at a target range or whatever and stuff and like you know i guess that's like you know something in
itself or whatever but you know some people are like very enthusiastic about guns as well and like
you know i think it's it's it's one of those things you you like them i guess or you or you
really don't like them i mean i know lots of people in this country yeah it's like marmite right guns and marmite yeah guns and marmite i mean lots of people in this country that i know
have never shot a gun never really seen a gun yeah and when they when they see one they're like
holy shit it's a gun you know like when we go to the airport that's the only time you really see
people at the airport and outside embassies like outside the u.s embassy you see guys with guns
and outside the uh you know at heath.s embassy you see guys with guns and outside
the uh you know at heathrow and stuff heathrow airport they've got those fucking machine guns
yeah like a mp5 or whatever it is like they've got proper submachine guns and shit they're ready
yeah yeah um whereas on the street like i you never see police officers with guns unless it's
like a big deal like someone like a downing street i think they might have some guys with guns and if there's i mean i remember when the queen uh for the jubilee had a gun she had a
gun yeah they figured out that golden carriage yeah she just fired it in the air james bond style
gonna need a second parade for all my guns get the gun carriage parading behind her the queen's
carriage guns waving to people as it goes past yeah yeah it's
fucked up yeah i'm happier living with the knowing that if i'm gonna get in trouble i'm probably just
gonna get you know beaten up rather than shot yeah yeah i i would i would prefer to be harmed
in a more personal sort of manner rather than at long at long range you know like if somebody's
gonna hurt me try to like gouge my eyes out or stab me
or something don't don't pussy out and shoot me from like you know so you're saying 20 meters away
when someone sees you having shat your pants and you're walking down the street you want them to
come up and like push push your eyes in and then crack your skull like i want to feel the human
touch when i'm being killed i I imagine like a fucking cop in Canada
was just coming with a big hunting rifle into the diner
and they'd go, I need a second table for my moose that I just shot.
That's racist.
Get off, moosey.
Yeah.
They don't go down easy either.
Like one shot for a moose, it's pretty rare. Like that's when you need the Heathrow. The Heathrow like one one shot for a moose it's pretty rare like you need
that's when you need the heathrow the heathrow you need a minigun no i've never shot a moose no
no i wouldn't dare god what if it turned around and bucked you you'd be dead
sips likes the person literally rip your head off
yeah he goes up and starts wrestling with it moose did you just shit in public that's it you're going down fucked up son yeah just like
one firm hand on the shoulder and the other one just fucking gouging his guts out with a knife
prison prison style prison style yeah jesus christ holy shit um so have you guys played like any any
video games have you have you gravitated like any any video games have you have you
gravitated any into any new games recently are you guys enjoying any new experiences in games
or is it just lots of dota hearts of iron for um i've actually stopped playing hearts of iron 4
so much um because i i think it's still saving it for the recording saving it for the recordings
but also because um i mean it's still early days and saving it for the recordings. Yeah, saving it for the recordings, but also because, I mean, it's still early days.
And I remember Hearts of Iron 3,
when it came out, did this kind of goofy shit.
And I'm just kind of sick of the AI
and its incompetence at the moment.
The more you play it, the more you see it do the same thing.
You're just like, well, fuck's sake.
Like, it's either too easy
or that your allies are fucking idiots.
It was really, really apparent.
Because we started another game, right? We've got the game that we played as the scandinavian fascists that's that's out now
and going up on team double dragon and people seem to uh actually surprisingly people seem to
enjoy it so far people love a bit of fascism i wasn't expecting at all yeah i guess people do
love a bit but we don't really care.
My mantra is we're going to do what we want to do,
and if you like it, great.
And if you don't like it, you don't have to watch it.
And you can pretty much tell within the first couple of episodes if you're going to like it or not.
I mean, alternatively, my mantra is I want to efficiently make money.
Right.
Which conflicts with yours, of course,
but I'm sure we can find like a middle ground
anyway um so we start another game and the the ai being hilariously bad at times is i i find
really apparent in that game because there have been some questionable decisions
made in that game um but it's coming along nice it's exciting actually because uh just i don't
want to spoil anything but man who would have thought that we would actually have had an impact
the way that we've had in that game like it's really interesting yeah yeah i feel like um i
have never played it having ticked the box historical focus and i kind of think if you
tick that little box the game has a better idea of what it should be doing historical focus and i kind of think if you tick that little box the game has a better
idea of what it should be doing yeah otherwise and i saw this this post this guy put on the
hearts of my force subreddit the other day saying where are all the germans and he was trying to
find the hundreds of divisions of german troops trying to figure out where the fuck they were
because the war in france was not going well Like the English landed, they sent a couple of divisions,
they ran around a little bit and then they just left.
They just left.
They could have taken Germany.
There was nobody in Germany.
They just sort of went,
well,
there's no one here to fight.
We didn't actually do this in real life.
So we're not going to start doing it now.
Or they're like,
oh wait,
someone's invading our tiny island in the Pacific that nobody gives a shit
about.
Quick men to the battlements.
And they sort of get on their
ships and just coast straight over there.
It's just kind of daft.
Hundreds of divisions across
to defend this Pacific outpost.
So he found all the German divisions.
They had hundreds of them in China.
They had hundreds of them in
Southeast Asia. They had a load
in New Zealand and places. It's just like,
what are you doing? It doesn't make sense. The AI should
understand you don't need to commit
an army or multiple
army groups to something that
big. It should weight it
based on not just resources, but
tactical importance. It doesn't really understand that.
And when you're fighting them, they tend to just do the old
let's form a massive line and
slowly grind our way through them. Where's the encirclement?
You have to fuck up. Where's the paratroop drops exactly yeah i haven't seen any ai do do parachutes or even really naval invasions they do a naval invasion with like two divisions and if it works
then they suddenly stick a load more in but they don't commit and it's just kind of i don't know
i find at the moment it's a bit bonkers but like i said hearts of iron three was the same it all
evened out and eventually it became you know steadier and there was more there was more i haven't installed a mod
actually in hearts of iron so we might have you might have to install that when you play with me
next because it's the it's the historical flag mod for the nazi flag you know if you put that
nobody in germany can watch our videos right yeah you're not allowed you shouldn't i i don't even
know why you would be compelled to consider that what's the difference you're not allowed you shouldn't i i don't even know why you would be
compelled to consider that what's the difference you're fucking nazi lewis is that what it is what
are you some sort of fucking oh it's really nice to see the nazi it's just it's real it's what
actually fucking happened it's like it was actually designed by hitler as well it was he was an artist
and he designed that logo.
It's just not the same seeing this weird sort of German Empire flag that they've got in here.
Like, Herzlwein has got everything else except that Nazi flag.
Well, you're not allowed to.
It is a...
It's got Hitler.
It's got historical accurate stuff.
It's got the real Japanese flag.
It's got the real other, every other flag.
Right, but they're not banned in their respective countries.
And Germany has banned the swastikas.
So they're literally like, we can't sell this game if we ship it with a Nazi flag.
That's why Wolfenstein had Nazi flags all over the place, but you couldn't play it in Germany.
Correct me if I'm wrong, commenters, but I'm pretty sure that's the case.
Yeah.
Correct me if I'm wrong, commenters, but I'm pretty sure that's the case.
Yeah.
Well, as somebody who visits Germany very occasionally,
I can pretty much say that I think you're right.
I mean, when I went there dressed as Hitler waving a giant flag,
it was not well received.
No, no, I don't think that they find jokes about Hitler very funny because they're really sensitive and touchy about it, understandably.
That's just the one thing that's missing from Heart of Iron hearts of iron and do you know what it's a big thing
it's a really big thing for whom some to me well it's different for me to see like you know the
war going on in europe and this kind of weird you know it's different to see the nazi flags
actually fighting along you know on the borders it doesn't give you a boner unless it's a swastika
is that what you're telling me? No, I guess...
This is killing my boner!
This game isn't sexy enough for me.
It's killing my war boner.
It needs to be really racist to get me going.
It's shooting me right in the boner.
Do you know what's next for you?
Is requesting that you have the Final Solution stuff
and the Holocaust put into the game as well,
which is a constant thread on the forums.
How come you can't kill any Jews in this game?
I'm outraged.
I was not allowed to watch my snuff videos
on my iPad on the plane.
What the hell?
I don't think those two things are the same, P-Flags.
All I'm saying is, dude,
that there is a subset of people that play these games
because they want to recreate
what they see as the missed opportunity
of Germany conquering the world.
And I think you, Lewis Brindley, are one of them.
Closet Nazi.
It is whitewashing history, though.
It's like Holocaust.
The game is a Holocaust-ed dying game.
That's what I'm saying.
How do you feel about that?
Oh, man.
I don't know how I feel about it.
How do you feel about it?
Oh, shit.
You're right. The fucking paradox holocaust in us
we got him boys to the Hague
to the Hague
Jesus Christ
so Hearts of Iron 4
I think we're unanimous
in saying we're playing it
to record it now and we haven't been playing it
much in our spare time
I've obviously played a little
bit of some other stuff i bought on steam to try it out i've like i picked up on the sale and i've
actually i think i've bought about 10 games i've steam refunded about eight oh wow fucking
there's nothing out of the moment if i'm honest like i i mean i'm just playing doter i'm playing
csgo i'm playing overwatch i'm playing there's those are the games that i'm caning at the moment
like i was going to play that serial killer one
what's it called
Dead by Daylight
or whatever
and I was just kinda like
eh
I can't be bothered
it's okay
it's not that great
it gets a lot of hype
and it's
it's alright
it's a YouTubey game
I think it's cause it's summer
and they figure that nerds
are gonna go outside
but they are wrong
maybe
yeah I mean nerds
don't really go outside we need a good game somewhere is when you need good games because of all the
fucking healthy tanned alpha people out there we nerds need games to climb indoors and hide
oh my god i've got i mean speaking of tans i've got like the ultimate dad tan like on my neck
though like i've like my whole body is neon white except for the back of my neck,
which is like fucking like brown as hell.
Right.
Is that because you stand like hunched over outside the school waiting for
yourself?
Yeah,
pretty much.
Yeah.
Like,
so the sun doesn't reach anywhere else except for the back of my neck.
Nice.
Yeah.
And then occasionally if I have to be outside,
like against my will,
that's where the sun seems to like to to go on me
as well so do you normally slather yourself up with suntan cream but you always forget the back
of your neck no not not not really no I mean like you have to in the UK like I never ever wear
suntan lotion no it's never sunny in the UK so it was the point I mean if it's a boiling hot day
yeah and we're gonna be out like sometimes in summer you know when it gets like 30 32 yeah and we're gonna be out all day being bald
especially i better lather up the old head but i i don't burn like i remember when we went when
when i was down a couple weeks ago famous last words yeah yeah i bet you go like i bet you go
red like a tomato like yeah like like duncan was out in the sun for half an hour when we were
filming his arm was bright pink like he burned oh shit yeah she burned like i was in the same sun and nothing like nothing i
just duncan does have like a nerd complexion though big time he is almost an albino hey nerd skin
and nerd skin hey nerd skin nerd skin gonna get a little sunburn nerd skin don't be mean no i'm not i'm just i'm just just pointing out that you know just pointing out he's
got nerd skin what's and he's got nerd skin so what can you do i need to get into another rpg
or something like this i think i might have to pick up i might have to play fallout or something
like that i played i played it fallout 4 I actually finished it. I did the storyline.
Oh, wow.
But I went with the Brotherhood of Steel and did their whole...
They're annoying.
Because the Fallout 4 endings, it turns out,
are not the same as the previous games.
You remember like in New Vegas and in Fallout 3,
when you finish the game,
you'd get like little differences
in like that sort of like montage at the end.
You know, it'd be like the lone wanderer decided not to take his dog with him
and instead shit on some guy's head.
And, you know, like it just like depending on what you did
and who you were not friends with and who you're friends with,
you had like these different little subtle things in
the ending or whatever i never finished yeah fallout 4 the endings are a little bit different
like it's more faction based like the endings seem to revolve around sort of you either doing
something with the institute or something with the brotherhood of steel or something with like
the railroad who are like synth um sympathizers or whatever yeah they're all against
each other so you can't really have a bit of one and the other sort of thing and your endings and
your endings reflect that yeah which is i don't know how i feel about that i kind of like the old
way the old endings in the fallout games but it was still pretty satisfying the brotherhood of
steel questline thing was was pretty awesome
it was there's definitely some very funny moments in there as well like very fallout-esque it
definitely used to be like like one of the expansions i remember was that one with fallout
i think it was a new vegas expansion where you went to the far mountain or something like that
or or big empty big m big m the big mt yeah the big mountain and that was um a great
little expansion it was enclosed it was almost like blues yeah fuck that was the best expansion
some of these dlc i've ever played some of the dlcs it was so fucking funny holy shit
it was and it was really well written some of them were great and basically that they were quite
they had like a path like a linear path that you went through, but you chose different things along that path, right?
And so your choices along that path
changed the final story, right?
Whereas I think with Fallout 4,
you pick one of four paths
and that takes you to an ending, right?
So, I mean, I picked the ending,
which was the Institute,
because I just sort of, you know,
that's where I was going
and that's what I was doing
and I wanted to know what happened.
And so, yeah, I ended up destroying the other factions as part of that.
Yeah.
You have to sort of thing.
So it was kind of,
it was,
it was a strange experience,
but I mean,
I'm,
I'm excited.
I haven't played the new fallout for DLC far Harbor expansion.
No,
that's,
so that's a,
that's like a Nick Valentine sort of a girl's gone missing and she might be a
synth and you have to go find her sort of thing.
And it takes you to like a new location or whatever. Yeah. i i've got it as well i didn't i didn't play
it i keep meaning to go back my sort of feeling on that is that i tend not to want to do those
dlcs until the whole all of them are out yeah and until there's a couple of must-have mods
to install and so that's when i tend to go back. I play a game, a release, and then I come back to it in a year or whatever.
Once it's got the gold edition and...
And it comes with everything, sort of.
Yeah.
Well, so the DLC that's coming out this month
for Fallout 4, at some point, I'm not sure when,
but I'm going to pick it up because it looks pretty fun,
is the one where you build your own vault
and people can live in it.
Right, right.
You can get them to do shit,
which should be pretty fun. I don't think you build your own vault, but people can live in it right get them to do shit which should be pretty fun i don't think you build your own vault but i think it's you know the
whole settlement building thing applies where you can place furniture and you can have a vault yeah
yeah that appeals to me i i would like that like i if i if i could have like a a base i would like
to be in a vault because i just i like the settlement building and especially in fallout
four they're not ugly as shit you know, they actually look interesting and nice.
It's such a pretty game.
The vaults in Fallout 3 and in New Vegas
were just so fucking depressing.
Holy shit.
They were interesting.
Fallout 4's great.
It's a great game.
Great gunplay.
Great story.
Great, like, I think they tried.
They were quite ambitious.
I feel like comparing it to World of Warcraft
is like the settlements thing is a little bit like garrisons you know you build up stuff but they
tie into the storyline they're trying to advance they're trying to advance the the world a bit
right like like the brotherhood is still like in that game obviously are are pretty well set up you
know like they've got a fucking blimp and everything and and you know what i mean like
i think i think maybe like future
fallout games we'll see like some of these like more established factions getting bigger and and
more to do like in them and stuff like that you know it's not like what i want to know is if if
it actually happened like fallout 4 and everything like that what would you actually do like you
wouldn't be the lone wanderer killing people no what would you actually do like imagine right i'm just i've
i think about this all the time and i think it's part of one culture we think about the apocalypse
and was oh this is what i do if there was a zombie apocalypse and stuff let's imagine that
shit gets crazy in the next year and right around christmas time the nukes start flying
you survive your family survives what do you do like what are
you gonna do man it would be so fucking miserable like it would be so bad like i would not want to
survive i would just want to be killed in in the explosions like i wouldn't do shit it would suck
it would really fucking suck like the world as you know it would be not there you'd have not no
fucking comfort whatsoever
like you just have to start from scratch with so much shit that you take for granted now
it'd be impossible and the constant fucking suck balls of some gang of of maniacs like
killing you and eating you and the thing is it you know it's fine to read about it in fallout
four where it's like you know they're they they're murderers and rapists and
stuff and you're like yeah well whatever they're raiders and it's a video game and fine i'll just
go kill them all but like fuck if that was if that was really threatening like your family who
survived a nuclear blast and stuff that would suck too you would never sleep you'd just be like what
the fuck like yeah are my kids gonna be kidnapped by like these fucking people and my wife
is gonna get killed by them and stuff like i would not want to live in that world at all
it sounds like a terrible idea let's not do it that's yeah yeah it would just i think as someone
who is like a lone wolf you know like me someone here we go
has no obligations the first thing
I would do
is I would paint
a gigantic swastika
on my t-shirt
I'd raise the flag
above my house
and I'd declare
new Hitler
new Nazi
new Nazi land
the new Reich
that's what you'd have to be
the new Reich
the new Reich
oh my god that's right holy shit i don't want that to
ever happen to the world like i'm quite happy taking my kids to school playing video games
enjoying electricity like you know like our knowledge of what was happening in the world
would be so limited like there's no internet there's no tv like that all gets destroyed by
the emp pulse and
everything so your communication consists of what you can say to your neighbors and and and people
if any of the authorities drive around with a bullhorn saying we're all fucked just stay inside
and die alone please don't come out the real deal if there was some sort of disaster like
like post-apocalyptic nuclear war at this
point in time which is not a zero percent chance okay um there is uh there is you know the uk is
not in a great position right because it's quite densely packed it's right in the middle between
uh china and america kind of thing i mean well then again like it's it's one of these places
where we're gonna's close to Europe,
which is going to get,
we are going to get badly fucked up, right?
And not only that,
but the UK has got
so many people in it
and so many,
so reliant on food imports
that it's one of the worst places
in the world
for you to be
in the case of apocalypse
because all of the food,
you know, comes,
is so much,
I think we're something like five days like food away from the whole country starving kind of running out of food sort of thing
it's like some it's like if the bees disappeared yeah the whole place would like shut down in like
a matter of weeks whatever there's certain there's certain things about the uk is one of the worst
places to be actually um if you want to there's all sorts of... There's all sorts of...
Yeah.
I don't think it's going to be like Mad Max.
It's going to be like gangs of crazy people.
But I see crazy people out on the street all the time.
I'm like, they are out there.
Oh, yeah.
It's like, you know, it's not...
And we don't have guns.
We've already talked about this.
Maybe the Americans are right.
Yeah.
Sips, you're going to have to get close to a person with a knife.
You're going to have to jug people.
That's what's going to come down to you. Get the fucking jug out of there. How are you going to heat the water, Sips? You're going to have to get close to a person with a knife. You're going to have to jug people. That's what's going to come down to you.
How are you going to heat the water, Sips?
You're going to have to jug them.
Yeah.
It's just like fucking somebody get the electricity online straight away.
We got kettles to boil.
I've already had to jug two people today.
We got some jugging to do.
That's how we're going to assert our dominance.
The juggers are coming.
The local jugger gang.
Guys walking very carefully towards you
With a jug of boiling water
Oh no Betty Lou
This summer's harvest of pumpkins is gone
Who do you think did it
It was them juggers
Oh my god
And then in like 50 years time
You know your nan will be saying
Oh them juggers yeah i can't
believe them no but the thing is you know you guys say like oh what would you do if like you
know and the nukes dropped and the world ended and stuff that the reality is is that we if we
were in a bomb shelter uh we would die in there uh because we would not live past the point where we could resurface.
Like, I mean, we're like in our 30s and 40s and stuff.
We would die in those vaults.
No, no, you could come up after a few years.
And if we had kids or whatever, how many years?
It's like two or three years.
No, it's got to be longer than that.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, you'd have to wear the suit.
You'd have to wear like a suit,
but you could at least figure out what the fuck was going on.
And you would never be able to produce food.
It would take like way longer than that.
You would need to have underground,
a pretty big,
like bigger than your house underground.
You'd need to have water filtration system,
air filtration system,
and you'd need to figure out a way
to store enough food to feed
your family of four people
for potentially
like 10 years.
Yeah.
So you've got everything you need.
You need weapons.
So you need like NASA paste for sure.
Yeah.
Something that's compact.
That's hard to come by.
And you'd also need to have vitamins because you're not going to see the sun.
You're going to get scurvy if you don't eat some fresh fruits.
You've got to worry about shit like that.
It's going to be almost impossible.
I feel like it's the price we pay for living in civilization though is that if it is that 0.000 whatever chance of the big the big apocalypse
happening we're just we're just dead yeah we're dead yeah otherwise we're not the other option is
we could build ourselves a shelter out in south georgia somewhere where it's you know in the
middle of fucking nowhere yeah yeah where no one's ever gonna bomb because there's nothing out there and you know make out and spend loads of
time out there but then we have to live there yeah yeah it sucks yeah we'd rather die do you
want to live your entire life as a worm or a week as a tiger you put a shelter in fargo you'd be
like we're gonna live in fargo to stay near to our apocalypse shelter you'd be like oh fuck i wish i
was dead you resurface and like it's untouched
it's the exact same
people are still living their lives
what's up
anything interesting happening
the entire world's ended
except for Fargo is still thriving
still going
we haven't had any new bread deliveries for a while
but nobody seems too bothered
it's fine
TV's acting up again
just the old guy banging the tv in the corner of the bar this freaking thing's been on the
fridge for five years already oh man um but i mean fallout 4 like i don't think you need to
wait for all the dlc honestly i think that there's enough to do like the settlement stuff they've
released a bunch of dlc for like you can make factories and stuff and there's there's enough to do like the settlement stuff. They've released a bunch of DLC for like,
you can make factories and stuff and there's, there's definitely enough to do.
I guess I finished the game as Brotherhood of Steel and I instantly restarted
again because I want to finish it as like a,
I want to do like the Institute route.
I,
I mean,
it's,
it's a spoiler,
but it's,
I mean,
is it okay to spoil Fallout 4?
It's been out for months now, right?
Like nobody cares.
So I get to the end.
In the Brotherhood of Steel line, you basically have to assault the Institute
because you find the Institute and stuff.
And same with the Railroad.
You have to assault them and kill them all as well
because those are like the main rival factions.
So there's big quests to basically get rid of them sort of thing.
So in,
in the,
in the final big push in the Institute or whatever,
you know,
you meet your,
your son and he's created a synth of him as,
as a little boy and stuff.
And you,
and you find out that it is a synth and depending on how you're sort of like
aligned in the game or whatever like i i was like a real synth hater in my in my playthrough so like right
at the end like the institute is like about to explode or there's going to be a nuclear detonation
or whatever and this little boy runs up to you it's like mama mama can i come with you and then there's like a dialogue option who's like you're
a fucking robot so so i picked that one and then and then he goes like really fucking sinister on
you like how fucking dare you you're gonna leave me here and then the dialogue ends so then i
naturally tried to shoot him in the face right um but the game won't let you like you can't kill a kid in fallout still so so that was that like i tried to shoot the first mod though that's like
the nazi mod for heart survival they can't they can't get it published in countries where you're
where you can do that it's crazy so i tried to shoot young robotic sean in the face for dissing
me hard right before i blew up the Institute.
And I couldn't.
I felt a bit cheated.
But then, you know, you get to blow it up anyway and probably dies.
So it was all good.
It all worked out.
I mean, I blasted through it too.
Like it took me no time at all.
Sounds like it.
To do.
It was really good.
I enjoyed it.
I liked it a lot.
Nice.
Yeah.
You started playing hearthstone
again recently as well did you i did yeah i don't know what i don't know what prompted me to play it
i had like no interest in it and then i think i hadn't even i hadn't even finished all of the
league of explorers stuff so like i still had cards to unlock so i did all that yesterday i
haven't even i haven't
even bought that expansion yeah but i was watching i think it was strife crow i was watching him
i i watched like one of his videos where he was playing um like some c'Thun warrior deck
and i didn't know i didn't know anything about you know whispers of the old gods i didn't really
know how any of the new cards worked or whatever and i just thought that c'Thun was awesome just just the way that you know you build up to him and you you drop him down and
he does shit and it's i just thought it was really cool i wanted to try it out so that that's what
got me back in started i made the c'Thun warrior deck and played around with that and then um
i think i got Yogg-Saron out of a pack so i made some weird homebrew warrior Yogg-Saron out of a pack. So I made some weird homebrew warrior Yogg-Saron deck,
which I haven't lost with yet,
but I'm at like rank 20.
So it's been really fun.
Actually, the new cards just,
and playing in standard is really nice too.
Like there's no Dr. Boom and piloted shredders
and all the dumb shit that
really annoyed me creepers yeah yeah yeah like all the old stuff is is out so like scientists
are gone yeah it's a relief yeah it is it is it is really nice it's it seems to refresh the game
and there's lots of really interesting decks and you know there's, I was watching Kibler playing like some like C'Thun, Reno, Yogg deck or something.
And it was just, it was mad.
It was just crazy.
But it was so funny.
Like, you know, some of the blunders, like with the unknown shit, like the RNG and everything.
And it was just, it was just very, very entertaining and just very fun.
And I think that's like what Hearthstone is meant to be.
I play Hearthstone on Thursdays with Ter it is it's a good it's good fun and every time i play
it does get me into it a little bit that's the thing i can't i can't help getting back into it
i think and heart playing heartstone makes me want to play wow but i feel like heartstone is a little
bit like dota to me and now that it's it's it can be very grindy and repetitive and forgettable
right it's not it's a very forgettable, time-wasting experience for me
playing Hearthstone and Dota.
So it's one of my resolutions to try and not play these games
that are just hours and hours and hours sunk into it
for no real remembering or no real joy.
But yeah, I've got enough games to try out i've i bought crypt of
the necrodancer i played that for a bit it was quite fun crypt of the necrodancer i quite enjoyed
that actually i feel like games companies are running out of names to give their games so they
just call it stuff like that well the necrodancer treasure of the wizard's tomb and the warlock also
with a witch companion so they just get longer and longer it's the rhythm
based um like rpg rogue like thing so now they're running out of genre so they're like how many
genres can we fit in a game yeah it's a rhythm based shooter rogue shoot them up multiplayer
the guys that make these games
probably just play dev game dev tycoon and they're like okay let's uh let's let's mess
around with some of these different genre of games and just see what happens they're all
there in game dev tycoon you can do all the mixing and matching you need yeah it's a detective dance sim, zoo sim management game
with MMO elements
and collectibles.
And it's a roguelike.
Everybody likes a roguelike.
And you can also build
your own city in it too.
Just as an aside
if you like that sort of thing.
We're trying to cater to just about everybody
with this one. Do you like games? Any any game you'll find it here in abundance do you like every genre of game ever
well my game has all of them guess what we've got them all
party time with the crypt of the wizard. It does actually feel like that sometimes.
It's pretty weird.
But, oh, man.
I hear that that game's actually pretty good, though.
All joking aside.
Yeah, yeah. We're only fucking with you.
Yeah.
It's fun.
It was fun.
I enjoyed it.
I picked up a whole lot of crap.
But I don't know.
I'll just keep experimenting.
So, have you got any questions from the audience, Sips?
Whoa, what the fuck, man?
It's only an hour.
I mean, I know we started 45 minutes late,
and I've got to go.
Oh, shit, sorry.
It's my fault.
It's my fault.
I was late today.
It's going to be a short one.
All right.
Questions.
Fine.
Let's do quick.
What's your favorite movie?
This is from JoshWilliams98.
Didn't we have this last week?
I swear to God we had this last week.
What's your favorite movie?
No, no. Fargo. Okay. Lewis is chiming with Fargo that's a pretty good movie which one I love it Big Lebowski dude no it's not not the best movie
come on it's all right it's okay it's a great movie I liked it I really Ghostbusters 2
Grand Ole Day Ghostbusters 2. Grand Old Day. Ghostbusters 2. Fuck off.
You can't say Ghostbusters 2 is your favorite movie when Ghostbusters is clearly the best. Obviously better.
Yeah, yeah.
It's fucking...
I mean, Vigo can fuck off to start with.
He's Vigo!
The hate slime of New York can fuck off as well.
It's good enough, okay?
It was a good enough Ghostbusters movie,
but it was no way better than the first.
Yeah, come on, Lewis.
Eat shit.
What was my favorite movie?
For lunch, okay?
And die as well.
I've got to say,
Mad Max is my favorite movie for the last five years.
The most recent Mad Max.
Fury Road.
That's a great movie.
Such a good movie.
It's a really good movie, yeah.
It was everything a movie needs to be.
What's your actual answer, B-Flex?
There Will Be Blood is probably one of my favourite movies of all time.
You know, we talked about I Drink Your Milkshake.
That one, if you don't know which one it is.
That's not my favourite scene in the movie,
but I fucking love that film.
I absolutely love it.
I've seen it so many times.
I love it, I love it, I love it.
I love The Lord of the Rings. Ah, yeah, that's a good yeah it's a good extended edition man they're such good movies really die hard
die hard's right up there obviously gotta love die hard love that that's a blast yeah shakespeare
and love that was one for me you know you know tom we were talking about movies when i was down
that's why i thought we talked about movies and uh tom tom a big movie fan, so we were talking about movies a lot.
And he made a very good point about the movie Aliens,
which is also one of my favorite movies.
I love that movie.
Aliens?
Aliens.
I love both films.
Alien and Aliens are amazing.
I love them.
They're very different movies.
One's a horror, one's like an action movie.
But the thing is, he said about Aliens, he said,
at no point in that movie do the Marines make the wrong decision.
Unless they've been told to do something that's stupid, they don't do it.
So, for instance, they're like, this isn't going well, let's get the fuck out of here.
They don't say, we're going to have to stay because that's your job.
And then they're like, we have to protect this place at all costs.
And they're like, no, fuck it.
And then they're like, we should just take off and nuke the site from orbit.
The only person who doesn't go along with that is Burke, the corporate arsehole so they make the right decision there when it
comes how what are they going to do we're going to put the guns here we're going to barricade
ourselves in we're going to wait we're going to get he can go there send the fucking robot down
there to remote pilot the ship it all makes sense anything that goes wrong is it's not because they
fucked up yeah which i like and it's a very good point that's what makes the movie so exciting is
that you're not thinking no you idiots what are you fucking doing which is like the lazy way that
so many movies go where they just the reason they get in trouble is they're idiots yeah these guys
get in trouble because they're up against like a horrible deadly corporate mandate and then
combined with yeah yeah so it's a really good movie that's interesting yeah yeah i never considered
that fucking all right well are you guys so ready to be amazed because my favorite film of all time So it's a really good movie for that reason. That's interesting. Yeah, I never considered that. Fucking.
All right.
Well, are you guys ready to be amazed?
Because my favorite film of all time is Kingpin starring Bill Murray.
Really?
And Woody Harrelson.
Fuck, man. It's so fucking funny.
Like, it is the best movie.
That's your favorite movie of all time.
If I was like on a desert island or whatever, and I could only take one movie with me, it would be that.
It makes me laugh consistently every fucking time I watch it well it's amazing it's so good
i'm gonna watch it this weekend yeah have you not seen it i don't think i've ever seen it
no don't do a munson it is funny it is fucking funny man holy shit it's really good p flex is
begrudgingly agreeing that it's funny some 1996 yeah you know what else is you know what else is
really fucking funny office space that that's another one that i mean that's a classic i love watching
like every time i see it i i really really thoroughly enjoy it but yeah no kingpin is
definitely that's that is truly a cult classic yeah all right i will have a i'll have a binge
of those at the weekend you know what if you like sports movies
which i'm sure you don't because there are hardly any good ones no i hate them too there are a few
actually good sports movies money ball money ball if you haven't seen it is really good
but the best sports movie ever made is it is slap shot with oh which is like an ice hockey movie
that is the funniest shit i love that movie i love. Man, it's been so long since I've seen that movie,
I don't even remember it.
It's so good.
Is it from 1977?
Yeah, yeah, dude.
Young Paul Newman is in it.
It's amazing.
It's a great movie.
What was that one that was fucking the baseball one
that had Joe Boo in it?
And Charlie Sheen was in it too.
He was a wild thing.
Was it Major League?
Major League.
Yeah, that was a good sports movie too.
It was just like really like fucking dumb and funny.
I think Bull Durham is a better sports movie.
Like that's the one with Kevin Costner.
Costner.
And what's your man's name?
Tim Robbins.
And it's got Susan Sarandon in.
Yeah, that's right.
That's not a bad baseball movie.
Like that's a good, there's not been many.
Because they either get too fucking romantic and whimsical.
But Bull Durham, Major League.
Major League is pretty funny.
It's stupid, but it's fun.
Flapshot.
These films are so old.
They don't make them like this anymore.
Nobody makes them like that.
That's the thing.
They don't make good movies anymore.
Major League was 1989.
Bull Durham was 1988.
Yeah.
Planes, Trains, and automobiles holy shit that
movie is amazing too it's so fucking funny like and it's just not this perfect comedy formula as
well like it just the shit that happens the situations like everything the story is really
good like it's just such a simple story and it fits into like an hour and a half two hour movie
i mean like look at something like caddyshack right yeah right another example it's just it's got a bunch of
comedians in and it's just funny it's not like a star vehicle classic right but they don't make
comedies like that anymore and take no take the new ghostbusters movie right the ghost but the
original ghostbusters movie i'm not getting into the whole controversy about the new ghostbusters
movie but i'm saying if you look at the way that's made compared to the original ghostbusters even from the trailer
i can see that there's a huge disparity between the two one of them was made in that kind of 80s
madcap comedy style where you've got an ensemble cast and it's just funny and weird shit happens
it's got these weird scenes that don't really go anywhere but they're good and memorable and
everything like that and nowadays it all seems to have to have a really obvious plot that follows through there's action sequences there's effects
it's like a star vehicle and stuff it's completely changed i feel it's too it's like in order to get
those goofy movies made it needed to be more of a relaxed industry i think because it was a lot of
them were just a complete gamble it might be fucking awful if you pitched yeah planes trains
and automobiles you'd be like oh it's just two guys and they have to go on a road trip and they're not like it's like it's kind of like the way that
the simpsons went remember like when simpsons episodes were good yeah and they and they had
a very simple like uh moral lesson right and and and the and the story was really simple like bart
fucking stole something by accident and felt bad about it in the end but funny shit happens
throughout sort of thing nowadays simpsons to be funny homer has to like fucking learn japanese and go to the moon
and fucking you know go back in time and like all this dumb shit that like isn't actually funny at
all the story is garbage there's no there's no funny little moral or or anything to learn from
at the end and they've they lost like the recipe right yeah yeah
which what made it funny in the first place and i find movies are like that now too like the hangover
you know like you know it's this this is meant to be like the blockbuster comedy where like these
guys fucking go off and like you know oh billy's gonna get married let's go on a fucking let's go
have a bachelor party to remember and like a fucking
somebody gets killed and then they they tussle with like the cartel and stuff and it's like
jesus you know like you you don't have to do all this shit for a movie to be funny like
you know like it can be a really fucking simple thing you know like just get fucking adam sandler
in and he can just do his little thing where he's like pretending to be a kid still or whatever and it's probably pretty funny like it'd be really simple but no
like it's always like this extravagant shit that like i just i just don't get like i don't i don't
see i don't know why that that would pass a pitch over something else that would probably be a lot
more charming and funny i think you know what i mean like i just don't understand
like the process now i don't think they gamble as much as they used to i think independent
filmmakers aren't making those kind of comedies like that i don't maybe the audience has changed
maybe people don't enjoy that but for instance weekend at bernie's for fuck's sake there's no
way nobody's gonna make no weekend at bernie's there's no way a police academy is gonna get
made do you know what i mean oh my god way a police academy is going to get made. Do you know what I mean? Oh my God.
Yeah.
And police academy
is one of those ones
where like you look,
you think back
and you're like,
fuck, those were really funny.
And if you watch them now,
they're not that good.
They really are
like kind of cringeworthy.
Yeah, they are.
But you've got to have that.
man, they were so good.
Yeah.
They were just so good.
Yeah, I don't know.
It was a different time.
Holy shit.
You guys are so stuck in the 80s and you want to lay 80s, early 90s.
Man, it's a nice place to be.
Holy shit.
Let's end it here.
Thank you, everyone, for listening to this podcast.
For some reason, I'm just an autopilot now.
I'm very tired.
That's all right, dude.
Hopefully, next week when we're back, I'll have some more energy and I'll i've done something maybe i've watched some of these movies that i now have a list of
um and then after that i would love that you made me watch anime here's what we could we could give
