S11E01: Beat My Mum Off · The Year Of Shame Challenge

0:00
Hello and welcome to the year of show 2023.
0:22
And now let's go balls deep and made this week's presenters.
0:27
Hello. Welcome to Euro sham 11 episode
0:30
1.0. I'm this weeks or months host
0:34
person with me is plus, you're going to reduce your flight.
0:43
Introduction. That's that's that's yeah.
0:46
Probably yes, Ross grief. Hi.
0:51
Okay. Where we were, right?
0:53
This is when you buy the your channel of wish you a little
0:55
sample size. Stevens is well, I haven't been
0:58
wondering who the next recipients of this particularly
1:02
poison chalice is going to be, so we can announce it's going to
1:05
be us from time to time. We're hoping to get a few more
1:09
familiar faces on to help us out here.
1:13
But in terms of how we're playing this year, we are going
1:16
to use a class system that signed going to introduce us all
1:20
to know try and understand where we are with different games.
1:23
Yeah, I mean it's pretty much like the original class system
1:26
that we had back in year. One.
1:28
That's like adapted through years of your shame challenge
1:33
through 10 years now and it's a pretty standard but because of
1:37
some little quirks that have happened throughout the years
1:40
and the fact that game has changed And how you consume
1:43
games has changed. Then the part passes, the need
1:46
to change a little bit. It's six levels.
1:49
The Skype simple. First one is quite simply.
1:52
You haven't played it, you've not played it, you've not touch
1:54
that, you downloaded it, you own it.
1:55
You haven't touched it. Can't get simpler than that
1:59
class 2 is you're undecided for me, personally, it gets to 20
2:04
minutes attempts. If it doesn't grab me by the
2:06
first 20 minutes empty gets put into the Last Chance Saloon and
2:11
And it gets another 20m attempt. It still, doesn't grab me.
2:14
It gets pinned, it's out of my life, it doesn't exist anymore.
2:17
And there have been a couple of big games already this month
2:20
that has fallen by the wayside because of that.
2:23
Class, very simply you're playing it class for is, you
2:27
want to revisit some side stuff? So you completed the game that
2:30
you want to go and collect all the pigeons or you want to do
2:33
some sort of a side quest. You just sign the you want to do
2:36
before you play it to bed class 5, yet done and dusted.
2:40
Everything is good and in Classics is Evergreen and that's
2:43
for the game. Such as Gears of War 4, gives a
2:46
sessions Destiny to any MMO or games.
2:49
You simply can't finish football manager, FIFA My mind straight
2:54
away from me for those who put, that's the class system that I'm
2:57
using. And I think we'll going to use
3:00
something similar for the benefit of the three people are
3:03
probably going to listen to this podcast.
3:04
Should be give us an outline of everyone sort of background with
3:08
gaming, how they sort of came into gaming, what the themes in
3:11
at the moment. Sure crack off.
3:17
I've pretty much been gaming since I was five years old.
3:22
Goes back to this. The Sega Mega Drive, you know,
3:26
it's like my mom and dad, they used to have this ridiculously
3:30
priced catalog, where you could buy things on the tech.
3:33
So we I got to see basically everybody in my family, got Mega
3:38
drive through this catalog. That used to come in my house
3:40
and set staring at me lovingly. And after months of begging one
3:47
day, I came home from school and there was my very own Mega Drive
3:50
and That formed us or a love relationship with Sonic that.
3:57
Well when I could beat my mom off, the mega driver kid gettin
4:01
it from, I was pretty much a singer Fanboy.
4:05
So following the mega drive, it was only the start on played
4:11
pretty much everything falling on Dreamcast very briefly.
4:17
And then we Kingdom made a decision as a host.
4:20
A jump on in there. the next cool thing, which was obviously
4:23
the PS1 So from there, PS2 and then Xbox came the happened.
4:32
And that's pretty much been my home ever since every Xbox
4:37
console. Since that original Xbox have
4:38
been there day one action, a get my hands on it.
4:42
And yeah, got my CDs X and I do have a PS4, which is start with
4:48
maybe 44 inches of dust on it at the moment, gaming PC.
4:55
That's you have placed off on that.
4:58
Pretty much everything that's a your 30.
5:02
Second term minute intro for Mark my gaming life.
5:06
What about you say? What's your back?
5:08
Are we doing mate? My one's nice and simple.
5:12
If you go back to a year, one of the Year ashame challenging
5:14
listen to episode one, all the details are there be if you're
5:17
too lazy to do that, it's pretty much that plus 10 years started
5:21
on the Commodore 64 went to consoles, dabbled in PCS win,
5:27
Wing commander and Championship manager was doing the rounds.
5:33
Winning two consoles. Back in the consoles, went PS 1,
5:37
2 3. And then hit on to the Xbox in
5:41
the tail end of the 360s life. Which was pretty much the Golden
5:46
Age of gaming. Every game was a pretty much a
5:49
classic at that point went to PS4, got an Xbox One and then
5:57
two years ago, decided to get a gaming PC.
6:02
And move all my games from console to steam.
6:09
Which will come up a little bit more when we go over the rules,
6:12
but that's pretty much my life. I'm pretty much almost 99.9%
6:17
exclusive on the PC now. Up for me, it started with
6:24
declined. Uncle in the family, you have
6:26
the autonomy to 600. It was the original Source query
6:31
single button, joysticks and combat.
6:34
You've got me into gaming bit later on.
6:37
I had a tari, 800 and then 520 St.
6:42
And then my first Safari into consoles was a super nose.
6:45
I got for Christmas The King Street Fighter 2, turbo Edition.
6:49
So that's sort of wrote off Christmas and most of January
6:51
for that year and then I went onto an N64 was the first
6:57
console about myself, I just before went to UNI.
7:00
So, that's a really wise decision because the first you
7:02
do, you need to seriously Jeff a date.
7:04
I'd value not. And then I made the switch in
7:08
University to some PC game in the championship manager, was
7:11
another one That's sort of bordered on Obsession at times,
7:14
I was a newly and then after Union fell out to game with a
7:18
little bit and it wasn't till I got a Xbox 360 with the phone
7:21
contract became free that I got a little bit back into gaming
7:25
and through which will make them.
7:27
We got back into Xbox game and we realize we could game with
7:32
each other, other ends of the country.
7:34
And I've stuck with ever since until the series exits up and
7:38
save me. Now, I've still got a gaming PC,
7:40
which I got last year. I gave me a laptop but I'm
7:44
slowly getting back into PC gaming as well.
7:48
But that's where my background is.
7:53
Just just to be clear, the actually graduating just about.
7:56
Yes, we're playing chess. I've been there.
8:03
My my whole university was having it is one of the warcraft
8:08
when I was in university and I'm really, really surprised that I
8:12
go in it and done between people between staying up.
8:16
This xim4 reasoning rocking and uniform years later.
8:20
Yeah, nah. There is a new version.
8:25
I downloaded, I think was free on the like, fine gaming stuff
8:29
last year, but I didn't open it up yet.
8:32
Just in case I sort of falls through that sort of picked of
8:37
it, becomes a life doing it again.
8:39
Oh, it certainly does get by training.
8:42
I remember the first year that I got the gaming PC, I completed
8:45
site like 24 games that first year, and 20 of them were up to
8:50
a football manager 2022. Being released and then nothing
8:54
got completed us that supposed to be funny.
8:58
It's one of those games that never really ends and there's
9:01
always something you can think of doing, you know the smallest
9:03
team you can get to the Champions League final or yeah.
9:06
Well, this is it. It's like you try and set
9:07
yourself to always try and set myself targets and I was like,
9:10
right? I've got to do this.
9:11
And if I can get this club to here, that's me.
9:15
I'm happy. I can say that.
9:16
I've put everything I want it to into this game and then someone
9:18
came a nice notice. One thing is, like your best
9:21
challenge in the what is called the money.
9:22
Leo, DiCaprio challenge. And basically, you can only sign
9:28
players under 21. And as soon as they become 25,
9:32
you have to dump them. No, you do that but I just
9:36
hectic right? In terms of your shame.
9:41
It's a different thing to everyone reading.
9:43
So what we'd sort of like to set of what our view is on.
9:46
Our Tippy, your shame is for each of us and then we'll see
9:51
how we get on soon challenge. Tokyo.
9:55
Me, I've got game Pastor. Prepaid up until 2024 at some
10:01
point. So I'm Keen not to lose any of
10:04
that but at the same are should, I don't want to make this your
10:08
pointless baby degree. So my aim is not to play any
10:11
game that's released in 2023. And obviously, if there's
10:15
something in 2022 that was released and the comes on the
10:18
game pass in 2023. I think that's fair game, but
10:21
it's a 2022 game. But my aim is to effectively not
10:26
spend any money. It's like this year, I've got a
10:30
fairly reasonable back catalog but I think my only fear is that
10:34
I gave here with a mate of mine who buys games, like they're
10:38
going out of fashion or quite a film of tuned up already,
10:41
including the new Jedi one which is going to be sorely tempted
10:47
when you can see it, then it's one click away so that that's
10:51
gonna be my I'm going to try to Not to buy anything at all.
10:57
We'll see how we get on. What's your you going to be
10:59
Ross? I'm really stoked porn.
11:05
I mean things are changing with the likes of Game Pass and PS
11:09
plus and all these Services. I mean, mmm particular both Game
11:13
Pass I am. I think I'm just And he
11:17
December, 20, 25 and so pretty much like you.
11:21
I'm not I'm not, I don't want to lose the money, it's not so much
11:24
money because it's been reward points, but I don't want to lose
11:27
what I've effectively put any that and but equally, I don't
11:32
want any continued down the sort of path of them doing where I
11:35
have been where something comes on it game.
11:38
Paso, Fire own go. Huh?
11:39
That seems cool. And then something else comes
11:42
along and we'll go play that and it becomes a cycle wheel.
11:46
I just try By train play, everything that's coming out.
11:49
And I've ended up with like I would probably at this point
11:53
upwards the 100 games that I've started maybe like the little
11:57
bit and then just came the Shelf because Something else has come
12:02
along. So what I'm, what I'm going to
12:05
try and stick to that at the moment.
12:08
Make change and but effectively given myself doing 10 and or
12:13
1001, and should I say so before I can touch anything new and
12:19
Game Pass, I need to finish 10. Let us say, I don't know.
12:25
May change depending on how much I get.
12:27
I get a reptile that here. So we'll see how this We got Jay
12:33
sleeping in the wings, you're going to get rid of.
12:35
That's fine, that's fine. I can take a ribbon fidget Jason
12:40
could have done all my one under there.
12:47
I'm very aware that when I did the first year of Shameless,
12:50
like I was the editor of midlife gamer.
12:52
So, occasionally got review copies of games and even though
12:57
I never actually reviewed anything, that I wanted, I
13:00
always given that to write the other the writers and I would
13:03
just pick up the other stop. But there were so many games
13:06
that I would have to get them. That I always got by the
13:09
reputation of eyes, just getting always recopies.
13:12
And, like, this year, I want to like, go full-on hardcore.
13:16
So So, the rules I've got on this is there's a joker now, I'm
13:21
giving up my Joker. Because my daughter plays House
13:26
Flipper on my Steam account and Jace was very much of always so
13:32
fucking easy to get a child account, blah blah.
13:34
It's no excuse. But I don't, because if I give
13:36
her own child account on Steam, on my PC, it's just, it's just a
13:40
whole world of pain and I won't get anything done on my PC.
13:44
So, I'm technically giving up my Joker to get her house flipper
13:49
to when it's released. So no choker effectively, no
13:56
gifts, no points, no credit cash, Nothing free games are
14:03
allowed. So I kept it game stores once a
14:07
week freebies. I'll ever look at a lot of them.
14:09
Now, getting to the point where if I don't fancy, I'm leaving
14:12
downloading it, but they are allowed.
14:14
So I can get them from Amazon. I can get them from epic, but
14:18
I'll actually announced on the show if I'm actually We adding
14:21
anything to the pile on any of those game pass on a bit like,
14:26
you guys, as well. I've pretty much done I did with
14:29
the cheat and got like three years worth of service for next
14:34
to no pounds at all. So I'm not going to about 20-25,
14:39
I don't want them to be a thing and I know it's going to be a
14:42
thing because that's the main part of how game has changed and
14:45
how we consume games now. We had like love film and that
14:49
10 years ago but Game Pass and PlayStation Plus in the Class
14:53
catalog that. Now Caleb that's all the New
14:57
Evidence. So for me I looked at all the
15:00
game past games that are on the service on the 31st of December
15:04
and I added everything that I wanted to play to my list and to
15:10
my pile and I'm not adding anything else from going pass.
15:16
The with that there's also a couple of caveats that my PS4
15:22
has been archived to The Loft. But my profile is on my son's
15:27
PS5 and he's been like that since April.
15:30
So he can utilize my old plus library, but he occasionally
15:34
uses my profile because you can't share plus add-ons.
15:38
Like you get if you get per fortnight or for Ecology or
15:41
anything like that, so he tends to occasionally use my profile.
15:44
But for me, and for the whole post purposes, my PSN profiles
15:48
been retired so but don't come at me.
15:51
If you start seeing my PSN profile, start playing games,
15:55
It's not technically me. That's pretty much my rules.
16:01
I should say as well. The I was planning on possibly
16:05
blatant Joker's out the am not sure whether I win or not, but
16:09
the other thing that I will be doing so if the year is claiming
16:13
the free games on sort of Amazon and epic, but not playing them
16:17
because I'm seeing if remit you may want to add them to your
16:20
library, but in terms of like, I've gone up to be getting on
16:24
with some not going to be looking to play them.
16:27
Fair enough. I think that think that's kinda
16:30
where I stand with the freebies, as well.
16:33
The ones that caveat to that is, if it's something that's like
16:37
batshit crazy, fun afraid in a, it's been free.
16:42
I'll play it. Once when I say, they have not
16:43
got a restrict myself for the sort of you know the week the
16:47
weekly gears and beers for this for this, a key 1 H Play Time on
16:51
something that was free. I don't care that much.
16:56
I will play it. Have a fucking cracking laughs
17:00
and then never touch her again, like many of the games that
17:03
they've they've had me by and over the years.
17:07
So, what? I was just wondering what
17:12
formats have one's going for on this year.
17:15
Is it just PC or you count console as well?
17:17
Or do you see an Xbox for me? Yeah, probably mostly the same.
17:25
I mean PC Xbox. That's really the vast majority
17:28
of my backlog lies. I do have on the PS4 of actually
17:35
ended up with two copies of that ghosts of tsushima because I
17:41
lost my copy. Then I bought another copy
17:42
thing, the copy, both of them are still in the rappin.
17:49
It was a couple other things in their life, please.
17:51
And never bothered to finish Uncharted 4.
17:56
That's one of the ones I want to knock off the sheer Justice is
17:59
done. Yeah.
18:01
So pretty much everything apart from us which I've got such as
18:06
well, I'm pretty much game for PC.
18:08
So let's team Epoch Amazon the switch from when I'm waiting for
18:12
fairies for work and probably the quest of when I'm staying in
18:16
hotels for work. That is if the quest isn't
18:19
fucked, prankster Zuckerberg playing Around with settings and
18:22
what you can do with the original Quest, anything to get
18:26
you to buy the new one. Yeah, this is exactly.
18:28
Yeah. So is, any particular names
18:31
anyone's even for cert? You any particular game that
18:33
someone wants to have a go at that?
18:36
They've been putting off for actual, probably say scribing,
18:39
but I know that she's going to end in disaster.
18:41
It same ended in disaster every year for the last ten years and
18:44
the 84 bajillion formats. I've owned it.
18:47
I've got a particular one that comes with a bit of a
18:49
confession. In my library, I must have about
18:53
six or seven Assassin's Creed games.
18:56
That, you know, I've bought all my mates bort, I havent played a
19:00
single one of them ever. So now they'll go should hear
19:05
the way he needs to complete. Try to complete at least one of
19:07
them. I'm not sure that this is this
19:10
going by obviously, this is going bad.
19:12
It's in 60 days, at least. so I'm open to suggestion and I'll
19:17
throw the missing in the comments as which ones I've got,
19:20
but I think I was just going to try and play a couple of them
19:24
and much like Simon's sort of method just see which ones that
19:28
are grabs me, which one Feels. Because I don't want to sort of
19:35
for yourself, do something, if you're not going to enjoy it.
19:37
But, you know, you still want to sort of play the first one and
19:41
then just play the first one again, then the first one again,
19:43
then the first one, again, job done clean the kingdom,
19:48
assassins, and my's pitchforks at dawn.
19:54
But then I really, I really enjoyed this house is clean
19:55
three Israel. That gets a lot of hate from
20:00
everybody. Enjoyed the The little addition
20:04
of being able to claim to use, I thought was cool as fuck but
20:06
plus the hunting not getting the kicked off but having I'd say
20:11
start and stop. If you've got the you did,
20:14
please feel free to complete the story and they trained argue.
20:21
What wants this kept? But they're off.
20:22
They're also a good in their own way unit.
20:27
I mean, I played three unit. Black Flag.
20:31
Black Flag was good. At is maybe something different,
20:33
I think as well. And then, will you get to the
20:37
sort of new releases and they're, they're not Assassin's
20:40
Creed anymore. I'll just call this a Sanskrit.
20:44
Although, that could sort of change with the one that's
20:47
scheduled for the shield. We may talk about that later.
20:52
My I didn't have any making for a like a particular game.
20:56
I just had a name, like, complete.
20:58
So many games I was aiming for like to a month.
21:01
And so 24 games for the year. But when about was creating my
21:03
tracker, which I'll post somewhere in the group's 11, can
21:06
see I've got a ton of like 30 minutes to free our games on
21:10
there so I'm probably going to aim for 30 completions minimum
21:14
for the year. Yeah, just least our tradition.
21:16
All those all those games that have gained a half-assed attempt
21:20
it the one sure thing I want to try and get through as the mafia
21:24
Trilogy, I've played my fair one and two on the 360.
21:31
Hey, but Mafia sleep, pretty sure it was day one then didn't
21:36
really get on with it and bought the food, like deluxe bundle
21:41
picture that came feet or turkey or something at the time.
21:43
So it was cheap but played a few hours and fell off a fellow.
21:50
But then I bought the the remastered or repeat, whatever
21:55
you want to call it a mafia one, and two Definitive Edition.
21:59
So there certainly are. So, I want to the, she'll get,
22:03
get them to one, two, and three finish that off, and the one
22:08
other one. Something I picked up, just
22:10
before we, we cross the cross, the line, and a 2022 in, that
22:15
was shenmue 3. Doves are touched on our little
22:20
closer, but of a seagull farm boy.
22:22
So, I had shenmue on the Dreamcast, picked up shampoo to
22:26
on is that it Xbox one that must have been because there's no
22:31
achievements yet Xbox One played the shit that I loved.
22:34
Every minute of them never have a bald we showed me three
22:38
because it was a Sony thing notice that once team for
22:43
frequent just before we came and had a so packed up.
22:46
So that's that's one I really Really what the rug and off and
22:50
see where that story goes know that I can actually remember it
22:53
for when I played it 10, 12 upward years ago, what's
23:00
everyone playing at the moment? Then once it's only been an
23:03
early start to the year already. Brody just about in January.
23:06
But what's everyone been playing so far?
23:09
We join I've been listen shit this month with the whole
23:18
20-minute thing, but I've been out a few games that I finished
23:21
off. Just thought I'd started last
23:25
year and was just finishing off which counts towards the Whole
23:28
30 because it was this year. I finished them.
23:33
What we plant, what my plan at the moment is Cole Cole.
23:38
Cole, am fucking brilliant? I didn't think I was going to
23:45
like it as much and I saw last year, everyone was like going
23:49
mental friend, like the midlife gamer, Friday night chat.
23:53
Everyone was loving this going I was like yeah but I'm not paying
23:56
full price. I don't like paying full price
23:58
for going to and then it dropped in the steam sale and I was just
24:01
like I'm going to just drop on this and it's like I was playing
24:05
other things and I just started that and it's like I was hooked
24:08
instantly and it's just like so funny.
24:12
So he must so absorbing and it's like it's one of those games
24:18
that you can. You can run for a level in 20
24:21
minutes, 30 minutes, but you want to play another one and you
24:25
want another one. And it's like not going to give
24:29
too much away on it, but you go off to do a quest.
24:32
But you have to go back to your cult because someone's like shot
24:35
himself in the corner and making everyone feel sick.
24:39
So you've got go back to you. Cole and end your quest,
24:42
otherwise everyone dies and it's like yeah.
24:45
Oh so absorbance, so my wheelhouse right now as well.
24:50
Anything else or is that just take it over you for the last 30
24:55
days or so? I'll know that there's much more
25:00
fighting. You guys want to go through that
25:01
just now. But, yeah, if you want to
25:04
complete it, this month of completely Disney, Streamlight
25:08
Valley, sounds like, a stupid going to play.
25:12
But so relaxing, such a nice, little palette cleanser
25:16
completely finished it and install for all the main quests,
25:19
and I've made it inevitable. So now I'm going to go back
25:21
probably once every six weeks and so to do about the Star
25:23
Quest and just pick up shit, it's just basically original
25:26
just so that get the Stitch character to piss my dad off
25:30
that because she hasn't got him yet.
25:31
But I've got that down. And, yeah, it's totally in my
25:35
Evergreens complete Funk of Titans running jumping
25:40
funkiness, which is, holy, fucking repetitive.
25:43
But it's dying out the way Marvel vs.
25:46
Capcom. Infinite got finished, which is
25:48
just purely a poor man's. Injustice townscape are
25:53
finished. That's a pure old-school trophy
25:56
winter, all done and dusted in about 20 minutes.
25:59
Penguin, penguin is, if you haven't got it.
26:02
It's fucking awesome. You're not going to get it for
26:03
12 months, but when this time next year, you gotta get it.
26:07
It's basically a Peggle and fto at a bastard.
26:10
Love child, it would be Pagan things.
26:15
I've dabbled in 12 labors of Hercules free which is a great
26:18
little worker clicker again Cleanses the palate, cold the
26:21
land. We've already mentioned fuser,
26:23
which is basically a digital version of the board game drop
26:28
mix to make mixes in festivals. Your knees old school.
26:32
DJ Bit annoying at times. But yeah, that's, it's not a
26:37
ghosts and goblins Resurrection, I started that shit.
26:41
Wasn't this hard and I play two on.
26:42
The snare is 20-odd years ago. I've also played around and
26:49
these are in last chance loans for New City skyline totally
26:52
don't get the hype. This one.
26:54
I'm going to give another trial is going in the bin, craft the
26:58
world. I sat playing the tutorial
27:01
thinking this shit really, really needs a Trattoria.
27:05
Godhood I played and it's one of those games that Cynthia's
27:08
sister piss me off. At one point it literally tells
27:12
you that you will not understand all of the elements of the game
27:14
to start with but then explain it when you need to but then
27:18
proceeds to give you every single element of the game and
27:21
not explain it, I've been to pandemic I've come to conclusion
27:29
digital versions of all games are pretty much this Generations
27:32
Movie video games. And I've been golf, Lego Star
27:36
Wars Skywalker cyber because they go game, stopped being fun
27:40
or funny when they started getting voice-acted, gotta just
27:43
spew their mate. I think that absolutely
27:45
hilarious, great fun. I just I dunno if it's if it's
27:50
where I am at the time when I was playing it, but I just I
27:53
wanted it to be silent again. I wanted it to I just couldn't
27:56
get into it. Plus the fact it was like, I
27:58
started off using the prequels as well.
28:01
I decided to go by episode 1. This is a funeral button to
28:06
start the ultimate, the worst end of the off, the starting
28:11
block. If you going on the episode 1 2
28:12
3, it's it was never the best of the film's, was it?
28:15
I mean, yeah. Now I I tried it, 20 minutes.
28:19
I was like, oh and I tried it for another 20 minutes and I was
28:22
like, fuck it and it disappeared.
28:26
I mean the label games, I enjoyed the most were the
28:28
Marvel, Super Heroes games. I thought it was brilliant.
28:31
Yeah, just Rishi Ramona characters alone.
28:34
Yeah. Fucking spent many many on over
28:36
when I should have been working fucking clicked and Bricks for
28:39
my son because he used to get really fucking excited coming
28:43
home from school. He see what characters were
28:45
there and then spend the rest of the night just decking about
28:50
wasn't me, was it the Marvel when I was at the DC one, they
28:53
really went all out with the voice acting and they got like,
28:55
Steve enamel from Arrow to voice.
28:58
Yes. Like the cartoon guys to do,
29:02
Batman and know it was supposed to be in the Marvel Superheroes.
29:07
They had a load of voice actors in the Marvel Cinematic
29:11
Universe. They had Clark Gregg who paid
29:14
Agent Coulson. Yeah, they got the cheap ones,
29:17
not not the big Blockbuster common, but it was enough to
29:23
make make it work ethic because the whole story was based around
29:26
Shield anyway, so it just made sense that you'd have Set of
29:30
agents that we're making your way through it.
29:33
So I've got all the like most of the Lego games on Steam and Star
29:38
Wars saga, kind of made me hesitate about trying any of the
29:42
others. And I've had that Lego Batman
29:45
and all they were Batman's on pretty much every format since
29:48
it's been released. And it's just like I really want
29:54
to play it, but yeah, it made me hesitate.
29:56
So I might go back to it later in the year and I'm gonna be
29:59
different from now. I was stuck, I got them to play
30:01
with my daughter. She liked playing the Lego games
30:04
on, Xbox, she loves Lego generally, but what I was
30:07
Finding is that you get bored after about an hour or so.
30:09
And sort of one doctor do something else and I will later,
30:11
I'd still be out there playing it on my own.
30:14
I think, what I struggle with is that especially in the Lego
30:18
games, it's like I can't just could play a level for a good
30:22
example. Like when we was playing that
30:24
Star Wars saga, I spent about 30 minutes in the opening hanger,
30:30
just breaking stuff to collect collect the little bits and the
30:35
brakes, and it's just like, I'm going to be here forever.
30:39
If I do this, and it's then it's like, I started playing a game
30:42
that's just like now, I don't feel like I'm playing the game
30:44
properly because I'm not collecting everything fits
30:46
available really way. Angeles North, the first pass,
30:49
it's not I wouldn't even look at collecting anything because you
30:52
can't, you're not getting over until you go back to 3-play.
30:55
So let's play through. Do this sort of story.
30:58
PCS, get, get to the end, unlock your free play.
31:02
Either, you know, do it all in one, then go back and do
31:06
everything for deeply. But once you, once you start
31:08
doing the free play and unlock all the extra characters to get
31:10
all your resources bets in your mannequins, and then start
31:13
unlocking the cheat codes, that that makes awesome a lot of the
31:17
cheat codes. Things 10 studs basically pick
31:21
up one and you get the level True, Believer, whatever the
31:24
equivalent. As in Star Wars, I don't know.
31:27
Has an opera book later on indefinitely.
31:31
Well, sort of. I will do this method enjoys,
31:33
I'll start from pretty much, but the first of January that's
31:38
that's maybe the easiest lie, maybe it was.
31:41
The second can't quite remember, but a completed one game, and
31:44
I'm counting is completely dish here, because although it was 11
31:48
achievement, and we pretty much done the full fool lot of work
31:52
since October and that was grounded.
31:56
So that was just fucking awesome.
31:59
Played the whole lot and co-op with a I'd like a much money
32:05
part 1 on started out in October.
32:09
Really wasn't sure about it, looking at it not not my usual
32:12
type of game. I'm not the one for the sort of
32:14
whole craft in shit and but we started that and we play that
32:19
pretty much every night that we were able to get on together.
32:22
It was like 23 hours and then like jumping on it.
32:26
Lunch time at work to continue building a little little little
32:29
house which I mean, what da fucking me?
32:32
Yes, because none of us are no Architects.
32:36
We went for a sort of use rather than works and the are finish
32:43
that off, pretty pretty soon in the year.
32:45
And, but if you've not played 100 hundred percent recommend
32:49
that really good, good fun with it, was it better than the game
32:53
creepy War done a little bit of the game preview but it was
32:56
didn't didn't grab me. I mean, we only started playing
32:59
at once once the sort of story was, Like the story mode
33:03
released and I was effectively a game, you could complete and we
33:08
done. As I say, we're done absolutely
33:09
everything that it got there, the feel gamerscore of it.
33:12
And I was one of those. Like, it was really sad to see
33:16
the end of it just because you could go back and build and
33:21
stuff, but there's nothing, there's no real much point and
33:25
so can the watching that if they do do something later owned a
33:28
free DLC or something, I'd be, I'd be jumping straight back.
33:32
Like that, that was a good three, three, four months.
33:35
They finish it. Probably a bit cheeky, call a
33:38
completion for this year, based on the fact that I think 140
33:42
hours or something were last year, but we'll take that 10
33:46
minutes this year called the first first thrush other games
33:51
on the sort of pie with takeoff, vampire survivors should have
33:56
but he said that it's like fucking crack in a game.
34:00
Picked up the o.c. finished or that?
34:02
2, sot, never touch that again, sense.
34:05
Because I know I'll just sit and play that whole fucking year
34:08
pleads. Another one, one of these quick
34:13
achievement pack it up or say Genesis Noir really really nice.
34:19
Visually total fucking crazy. My mind was totaled main trip
34:27
basically on if you sat on asset and looked at this I think he'd
34:31
probably fuck. And I, and what else do we have
34:36
next? Next sort of Court game that we
34:38
moved onto after a going did was evil West.
34:41
I'll pick that up with Georgia Court, Microsoft Word points,
34:46
before the, the new year started as a co-op game shit.
34:54
Think it's got the basis of a good game in there, but they
34:57
just made a few like really stupid design choices.
35:01
Like you're both the same character in your court, World,
35:05
your progress for the sort of player joining the horse.
35:08
That's not saved. So they just get lumbered with
35:10
whatever bowed you've got at the start of the night, sort of
35:12
thing. Just, I don't know what we're
35:17
playing through it, and there's there's environmental
35:19
interactions and can't both do them at the same time.
35:23
So, When he's just came to just saw at the bike and I sort of
35:26
stock animation and then you came to teleport to reinvent to
35:30
be so yeah. But but of a letdown but here
35:36
it's free. Just quickly after that, move
35:41
done high on life like jumping again, pass played that, not
35:47
personally, not really a fan of the whole Rick and Morty thing.
35:51
So everybody Raves about the humor in, it had a few laughs on
35:55
it overall, decent game part for the last achievement that's
36:01
broken and they can get fucked. Hey, do more.
36:06
So, I picked up, picked up at his own game, pass a memoir
36:12
blue, and purely because I'd seen David played and it got
36:16
1,000 points in like an hour. So I was like, get me, get me
36:19
that game or score and no, but fucking Wicked part of your game
36:25
is called pissing contest with David.
36:27
Yeah, pretty much. You just see Dave getting the
36:32
thousands. It's like what she played,
36:34
that's easier that I can just get close and then Raider throw
36:37
you. But and then you come back the
36:39
next day and he's fucking rent. Another three games, and you're
36:41
just like, fuck that. But now that that was, that was
36:45
a very, very weird game. I don't know.
36:48
It was like cleaned up a story about off.
36:51
I guess, our a daughter, losing a relationship with her mom and
36:55
then how they connect back together or some Posh.
36:58
But I mean, the the most The most entertaining part of the
37:03
full thing was a the the true achievements to achievements,
37:07
Cade forgetting, the last sort of achievement.
37:10
It was like the guy just as, as the game progressed, they just
37:14
click on more and more pissed off and he just came to watch
37:18
the shit. We are battling the the Box
37:21
caught through that gate was unleash a doughnut hole corn
37:23
i-i'll bunch of kelp so yeah. He's a completion, Shake game.
37:29
And the last one that's our new co-op game.
37:33
Another recent addition to Game Pass gunfire reborn, which one
37:39
is been at me pack up for for ages and simple candle launched
37:42
on Steam, but I don't like spending money that much.
37:45
So soon as it came Again, part of the try.
37:49
What's the worst thing, huh, and it's kinda, I don't know.
37:53
Borderline Z, we can filter must be a roguelike.
37:57
Well for the good few runs in this order, I will Mark and then
38:03
getting waved at the same fucking boss every time.
38:07
So that's probably going to be on the on the sort of rotation
38:10
for a good while at least just what the woman for anybody who's
38:16
a little bit gamer. Gamer score points.
38:18
It does through single point fingers at me which is really
38:21
fucked me off knocking much more gamerscore than a odd uneven
38:26
shitting on. A don't like it and that's me.
38:30
So what you gave all for me it's again, be playing at the moment.
38:36
Is the new Halo? I've been playing that
38:39
Cooperative you with a couple of mates.
38:41
We purposely held back until the co-op mode came out before going
38:46
to it, it is really good. Awesome reading, join it really
38:51
good. Fun to clear.
38:52
It would be better if it was for a few but as it is the three of
38:56
us so that it is He's quite good fun and I bet he'll give up late
39:00
for a while. I'm still well it's almost in
39:04
its Evergreen class at the moment.
39:06
Still playing so far cry. Five with Dave, nothing that
39:09
games ever going to go away, but we seem to stop steel, 20
39:12
minutes, you half an hour there, so the time we've picked it up,
39:15
figure out what the controls were.
39:16
Again, what we're supposed to be doing.
39:19
We've gone off and we use of use it as a starting.
39:23
A to end, the night were playing something else like he's going
39:25
to be ages completing and the other one that's from really
39:28
pulled me back in is Modern Warfare 2.
39:32
I got a free copy of it when I've got my laptop last year and
39:37
eventually how the code came through and it was okay as I
39:42
played a little bit of it but what really got me was the
39:48
difficulties of scaling on it. It's a lot easier for some
39:52
casual gamers than some of the other previous incarnations, and
39:57
I don't feel so clean it. That you're sort of getting sort
40:00
of ring. If we gain by sort of 13 year
40:03
olds with little bit more Matic pistols you've got a chance and
40:08
it is good fun. I've had a good bit of time on
40:11
it over the last couple of weeks, particularly trying to
40:14
get through the battle pass on it.
40:16
And there's a couple of just finished a double XP weekend
40:20
which is helping the wind. I think I've gone fuck 40 levels
40:22
in the past three days due to that.
40:26
But it is really good. Particularly when they've got
40:28
some of the old maps that shipment they brought back Back
40:32
and it's just pure chaos and Carnage and really good fun.
40:38
There is that as well. And one things I'm going to try
40:40
and do over this 16 days left on the battle pass and potentially,
40:45
you can earn enough credits from the battle past soon.
40:48
Get you. The next one.
40:51
So my view is well I'm ending this by playing the game.
40:53
I'm not buying the battle pass. So I think that is fair game to
40:57
use a points that in the game to buy you.
40:59
Good. I'm joking.
41:09
I know that sense whenever the last Friday we play that.
41:16
Well I think the last we played it was a no build mode was
41:18
metal. That has such changed it for me.
41:20
I hated it before that because you tried to kill things
41:23
building the table quicker than you can actually shoot the
41:25
anything. No.
41:26
Then you find it. Fucking which Kaufman these
41:33
buildings just fucking fly up in them?
41:36
I'm 42 years old my hands don't move that quickly.
41:39
Fuck bone would Yeah, I'm pretty much the same.
41:44
I watch my boy when you go into lockdown, he like really go into
41:47
like Fortnight during the very first lockdown and it was
41:50
basically. They used it in these friends as
41:52
a way of like basically interacting with each other when
41:57
we couldn't interact with anyone and yeah watching them playing.
42:01
It's just like I used to remember being good at games but
42:06
I don't remember being that good.
42:07
It goes definitely. I'm very much of the opinion
42:11
that I will love me. Let them play only once and
42:15
future each sports game or here. That's right.
42:18
Bye. Dad and your house go for it.
42:20
Nothing retirement plan is me. Yeah, the other thing that's
42:24
really being sort of testing me this weekend is Goldeneye.
42:29
And I've been Struggling to resist it everywhere.
42:33
I see it either someone streaming it or someone going
42:37
Life playing it or think someone on the use a group and having to
42:42
go with it or not over the weekend.
42:45
It's what every struggle with because I love that game.
42:47
So much particular mode. We had pistols, only one shot.
42:51
One kill The Man with the Golden Gun.
42:53
No. That was it.
42:55
Amanda, that was really the best version of that.
42:59
And I did have a discussion along the lines of well, it's
43:06
not really a new game. We came out in the 90s, it's a
43:08
direct Port. It's not a remastered of
43:10
anything, it's the same old Graphics.
43:11
Its it should be fair game. Particularly, when I think there
43:16
was, I think it might have been Dave or some of the lads last
43:21
year. Used a tactic that if they've
43:24
got it under the other device, it was fair is fair game.
43:27
So I thought I'd pull up the card and I've got all the N64
43:31
cartridge here. So surely if I've got the
43:32
cartridge it's it's fair game to play it on the Xbox or I think
43:36
we've got our first Community polling.
43:38
Come in here, if you can get that in your Xbox then fine.
43:43
No sugar is probably the size of the Xbox that the what the one
43:48
thing about though is that not, it was that not giving out free.
43:52
If you owned rear replay like an add-on for that, although it's
43:57
less than whatever fucking a whatever.
44:01
There's a new game pass addition.
44:02
I think if you take a weekend pass, if you own real replay,
44:07
you get it. So I mean am I?
44:10
I've spent the last year telling Dave to play what the fuck you
44:13
want. Because a Mist Mist plane.
44:15
Some of the random three-digit room.
44:18
I won't tell anybody. So I'm probably not the best
44:20
person to ask, but I mean, I'd say it's fair game.
44:22
I do actually own way we play by.
44:24
Don't ever go to death. The other thing that I had been
44:27
playing, but I got GS for New Years was the Tommy 50
44:34
collection actually, but actually bought a physical copy
44:38
of the game because it was about 20 quid cheaper than that.
44:41
By in the digital one. So that's that's been good.
44:47
And we've even managed to get a version of combat up and running
44:53
with an online multi-player, even though that it doesn't have
44:58
it on the collection. We use the program called
45:02
parsec. So if one person's got it, it's
45:04
like a virtual. Let's do something, Dave's,
45:09
they've set up. This is very much a day.
45:12
This is my 12 o'clock at night, both of us had far too many
45:15
beers and were transported back to the late 1970s again.
45:20
They're the best ones, Dave's Dave's fucking crazy.
45:23
Random nights are always the best.
45:25
There's always some batshit crazy stuff going on.
45:31
Remember the horse, she's that. That horse thing in those
45:33
fucking brilliant. I love that.
45:36
Fucking total. We are rock up its arse.
45:39
The other thing, I'm planning going back to this.
45:40
You is I'm going to get my old retropie out again.
45:43
Have a look at some of the stuff that's on the yeah, I don't know
45:49
if it's just me but I'm not keen on Rachel.
45:55
It's like I liked it when it was out, it was great.
45:58
But I think a lot of it for me is like roasting, he expects I
46:02
go back and I just can't fucking play the ship that had a couple
46:05
of Couple of exceptions, been Streets of Rage.
46:08
I could go back and play that won anything and likewise Golden
46:12
Axe. But that's pretty much.
46:15
I mean I was say that says about a ghosts and goblins or what the
46:21
fuck that was cold. And I played that in Jack's,
46:24
which like the original Nez version, that's fucking solid.
46:28
I couldn't get past the first level.
46:30
Like this was 23 weeks ago. It's like net now.
46:34
I'm just I'm very much leave. Leave retro in the past.
46:37
I'm just going to exit tickets while games for me used to be
46:40
harder because I can remember the back when I had sort of a
46:44
super nose and big lead, and 64 games were relatively expensive
46:48
for the amount of time in them. So, you know, they were hard and
46:53
they kept you going for longer. I can be an amount of times you
46:56
try and beat a game, it would take up a huge about your
46:59
childhood. I'll do Our dispute that I was
47:04
one game and it's cool. Ghosts and goblins, I used to
47:09
play Ghost garment playing ghosts and goblins on the
47:11
snares, and I used to remember you'd play it all the way
47:13
through complete the past, and then you have to do a new game
47:16
plus. And I would play it all the way
47:19
through to new game+, and get all the way to the final boss
47:21
died. The final boss and then I would
47:23
try again. And I am still struggling with
47:26
level one of the Remake on I'm struggling with level one of the
47:30
original on, you know, the switch if you Got switch online.
47:34
You get access to like the knees as they stuff.
47:37
I went back and played that, I seen it, then I was like, fuck.
47:40
I used to play the shootout in the Mega Drive and likewise
47:44
played it completely that. And now it's like I don't know
47:47
if it's if it's a control issue. Like I'd responsiveness.
47:51
That's why I'm putting it down here.
47:52
Totally nothing to do my skill level and I'm not getting worse.
47:55
As I get older telling you it's just my eyes.
47:59
I think it's the analog sticks is the problems of You tend to
48:03
now gravitate to using the analog sticks when you play
48:05
games and with those games, even with Runners on a snitch, you
48:10
divide the up down left, right? That's the only thing I could
48:15
put it down to as well as like the old just, the control system
48:19
change, Tony Hawk's was the same.
48:23
I could I couldn't land anything when they remade Tony Hawk's 1
48:26
and 2. I just couldn't get the spins
48:30
right by you said just like drop them down and drop like tricks
48:34
just at the last second from the air but I just couldn't do it at
48:37
all. Yeah, fuck it.
48:39
I'ma hold it all in the same boat there. like, but is there
48:47
anyone is anyone looking forward to anything particularly this
48:50
year? Sir?
48:52
It's really think they're going to test.
48:54
We can forward as a talking new games because I think that's the
49:00
wrong the wrong word in there. I'm like, I'm not looking
49:02
forward to mr. David yeah, what game do you
49:10
think? I am looking forward to seeing
49:12
but thinking you might struggle to resist.
49:15
It's full Yeah, but basically all the fucking shithole games
49:18
are coming with. I'm not allowed to touch, I've
49:22
got a small list star field which I'm not going away that
49:29
that will be getting played whether it's quite.
49:35
I mean I said start my rules were cleaned up, still up in the
49:38
air but assuming it assuming I'll go Joker that started.
49:42
It was my joke or those know. That's not up for debate star
49:46
field all the way. You know I think it's going to
49:49
get pushed out to the next year. It's sort of been pushed to he's
49:51
already been pushed to the second half of the year.
49:54
I mean, I reckon It's gotta come in March.
49:58
Could be way off originally febuary, but we're too close.
50:02
I mean, I I'd say is one of our chats way back.
50:07
When, like, before, when it was due to come out in November, I
50:11
think I said in the September, my stuff, he was delayed to
50:15
February. It was like, what's the sauce?
50:17
I was like, I'm the source, that's just what I think.
50:20
And then a couple weeks later of the delay that so I was going to
50:22
call the bastard. What have you?
50:25
But I guess as we approach, that sort of February marking, I'm
50:28
thinking, it's possibly going to be March, just based on the fact
50:33
that there's those seem like they're the Surah.
50:37
Now, the player numbers laying cable with Skyrim that was
50:40
11-11-11 or follow, or some fucking shit.
50:44
And, yeah, I'm going for the 23rd of March 23.
50:48
So, You can quote me on that and tell me fuck off, I was wrong
50:54
and a couple of months but that's just what other games
51:00
that are do. Which yeah Diablo for.
51:06
That would be painful with Miss Jedi.
51:10
Sequel to Jedi. It's awesome.
51:14
Fallen Academy of. Yeah.
51:23
That. Yeah.
51:25
Because the first one was awesome.
51:27
But I mean idea, see if I wait long enough for okay.
51:30
Yeah. Access or EA password over the
51:32
colon that these days. Other one that I just seen a
51:38
couple of days ago, that was announced was a sequel to Rhodes
51:42
96. So that was one of those not
51:47
have driven games that game plus lost.
51:50
You really enjoyed that really good story and the varnish the
51:56
sequel, which may or may not become game.
51:58
Plus it's definitely coming to a PlayStation consoles this time
52:03
but that's that's probably got to be worth a look.
52:06
Thank off the back of that I bought.
52:07
One of the load of games and their hunt haven't started that
52:11
and hence, why you were were in this position.
52:14
In here. Only two other one.
52:17
I mean one of them that I've had a hard on the list has a The
52:21
Suicide Squad. Anita.
52:25
Really see more on that him. I've got a funny feeling that's
52:28
going to go the way of Gotham Knights or it's looking like
52:34
it's going to be one of these games as a service take fuckers.
52:36
And I just want a nice Co-op story.
52:40
Heavy game with a start and an end.
52:43
It's like a fucking hard. Can it be?
52:47
And then looking through that list the other one that popped
52:51
up was Alan Wake to and I'm not really seeing anything on that
52:58
so that that could go either way but first I'll make fucking
53:01
loved another one of those games that's like totally out of my
53:04
comfort zone because anything horror and I'm a fucking
53:07
shitbag, I've not played more than five minutes.
53:10
Hellions, for example and I'll make to that King the ring.
53:15
And off. So there's probably other things
53:18
but they're the ones that came to stick out.
53:20
Yeah, I'm a bit but my list is a bit like the same just going for
53:24
what you mentioned, like Jedi obviously made my ears perk up.
53:28
When I first saw that as you said, the first one was just
53:31
fucking awesome. Yeah.
53:33
Star field. Which I'm kind of hoping to get
53:35
delayed and delayed married and they want to keep adding polish
53:37
to it. And we might see it, the tail
53:40
end of the year and then starts eating steamed cells when we're
53:44
out of this. Should I do that?
53:46
We're in Hogwarts Legacy. Actually looks really quick.
53:53
Fucking nice. yeah, I think it's because it's not It's not Harry
54:01
Potter. It is Harry Potter, but it's not
54:04
Harry Potter. I think that's what's gonna is
54:07
intriguing on that one Mass Effect.
54:10
If they drop Mass Effect this year, I'm going to really be
54:13
struggling. And what was the other one I
54:18
saw? Dragon Age is it dread wolf?
54:22
If that drops this year, I'm going to be really struggling.
54:24
Because, as I said earlier, my fucking joke is going to be on
54:27
house flipper to my door. Little one was just was a good
54:29
game. I really enjoy tearing down
54:33
walls and fucking pin with the pressure bundle which fucking
54:36
paint Missouri's in real life. Well that's how it started was.
54:41
Matt Jones and I think it was care for Serena that was
54:47
basically told me how you got. This is so fucking amazing game.
54:50
So yeah, I picked up eventually and I played like half an hour
54:53
but yeah, it's quite relaxing. It's like it's in my wheelhouse
54:57
to place. You want to play a game but not
54:58
want to play a game and then my door walked in and saw it and
55:02
she was like, what's that? And such and followed by house
55:05
flipper, what you do, great stuff and build stuff.
55:09
Have a go. Yeah, and then that's the last.
55:11
I saw that game. And it's like she I've literally
55:15
play it for half an hour and looking at my Steam.
55:22
Record for its, I have officially played two hundred
55:28
and seventy two hours died but think I was quite a lot.
55:32
I was very much a get all the achievements than Sack or for
55:36
something else, but she's fully into it.
55:39
She's based like, I've had to pick up all the DLC for it for a
55:42
little while. She's fully into it.
55:46
And I keep so quiet and it keeps her happy.
55:49
So she's happy. I'm happy.
55:51
So yeah, that's it. And there's probably so many
55:54
games as well digressing here going back to what we had
55:57
proposed for talking about. There's so many games that I
56:01
probably not even thought of that on that list.
56:05
But my mindset has changed a little bit now because I don't
56:10
want to pay full price for games.
56:13
And if you're on a PC in your Steam and I know Steve's not the
56:16
most the cheapest way of buying games now because you've got CD
56:19
key things like that. But Still what you get that,
56:24
email from Steam going all you know that game that you thought
56:26
you might like it's now 90 percent cheaper, come baby.
56:35
Yeah, so it's like and I've got quite a few games that are
56:39
coming soon on my wishlist. So that might be a bit of a
56:44
problem going forward, I still have them.
56:47
Subscribe on these up steam and Galaxy games and epic games
56:51
emails yet. So I think that's going to have
56:53
to happen. So I could see one this morning
56:55
saying something your wish list is on offer.
56:58
Yeah, I'm not going to unsubscribe to it.
57:00
I am going fully hardcore. I'm going to keep those emails
57:04
coming in just to like just to get like a virtual kick in the
57:07
fuckin abuse myself even more. Yeah, It's 90% of this week to
57:13
meet his real fucking stamp on them and fucking this.
57:16
Yeah, for me it's just a missing.
57:20
Well, I don't actually think of nothing.
57:30
I'm a simple man. The Jedi game is going to be a
57:33
real. So for me I think that might end
57:35
up being my Joker just because I loved the original so much it
57:40
was really really good. The other one that's got my
57:44
attention recently was on the Showcase did it was Dreadful.
57:48
So donít quite interesting it basically looks like back for
57:50
blood with vampires. That was kinda my own poop.
57:57
Yeah, it's back for blood. Good.
57:59
And and then everybody started shouting to me by everybody I
58:02
mean money he got really really Percy and when pulled some
58:06
fucking coffee, some fucking journalist and really clearly
58:11
states that it's not it's not back for blood, that's more like
58:15
Far Cry 2 than back for blood in the Far Cry. 2 is the shipment.
58:20
Site was that is that know, this sort of the general consensus.
58:23
I mean I played a little bit Far Cry 2 and it was shit, there's
58:26
nothing worse than fucking cool. Let's go for Ultra realism.
58:29
You need take some fucking pills or without that one, don't know,
58:33
maybe Nan gunfights in your gun is jamming on the wood thing for
58:36
that charged with. Fuck you up, give me do
58:38
anything. Open world in Napa.
58:46
Yeah, pop the problem but the other one was thankful.
58:50
Obviously, this doesn't seem to be a division game coming up
58:53
this year and it's been rumors. The one that was can be pushed
58:56
back to 2014 for this. I can mobile one, which I can
59:00
take on either, but if there was another set of division sequel,
59:05
a proper sort of play versus enemy one, I think. that would
59:09
probably be out of this because I went deep into both of those
59:12
and they were absolutely awesome, not the stories all the
59:14
DLCs So, yeah, those are ones. I think I'd struggle with it.
59:21
I don't even want to see what my don't want to see, what my plate
59:25
time on. The division is it's in the
59:26
hundreds of hours easily. It's not quite Battlefield,
59:29
photos of food for tops tops. My list of time, plating that
59:34
setting a bit 9:00 on to achieve months.
59:38
Now, I next after that, it's probably gears 5 purely from all
59:42
the Friday nights were spent on it.
59:46
I think it must just came here in the game because I don't
59:49
think we've actually spent nine hundred they were playing
59:51
between getting pretty fucked up and just chat and shit.
59:56
I'm on the bleep brakes, it's cetera, being we breaks nothing
1:00:00
else. Going to get Evans views on is a
1:00:03
DOT. If it was just me, I think Ross
1:00:05
might have been party to this, as well, and he's looking
1:00:09
slightly worried. What say this is in the lead up
1:00:13
to the everyone started your shame.
1:00:15
I Had several moments of panic, thinking not even if I go enough
1:00:18
games that can ask me from here, is this something I really want
1:00:21
to get and your message from Goose it?
1:00:24
You can Panic buying because literally the old day would come
1:00:27
up on my steamer. So when I say order mean there
1:00:29
was like seven or eight games that were added to my steam
1:00:32
purchase list and that was on the one day the other day then
1:00:36
smear for more might have been added.
1:00:38
And that was probably because I was at my father-in-law's for
1:00:41
the men of New Year's Eve and nothing better than the seat of
1:00:45
my gaming laptop. Up and stuff was coming up in
1:00:47
the same as I really want to play that.
1:00:49
I'm all get that. Optically.
1:00:52
I bought a load of fighting games just because in lockdown I
1:00:58
got quite into Ace Combat when it came on to Game Pass ended up
1:01:03
buying a spicemaster hope to stick for it as well.
1:01:09
Getting particular to it for me, it was basically taking you back
1:01:12
to play and sort of like afterburner in the arcade.
1:01:14
Again, it's completely sort of arcade not a flight since of an
1:01:19
arcade Cindy. But it was really good fun.
1:01:23
So I've got a project wingman and Tiny combat Arena.
1:01:27
Where we want to try, which basically looks like it all sort
1:01:29
of microphones likes him. So it does anyone else have any
1:01:33
sort of last-minute urgent purchases?
1:01:36
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I had a little bit of a splurge on
1:01:40
Steam and that was I just bought a few games off my wish list,
1:01:43
and it was mainly to get rid of the credit that was on.
1:01:45
I had on Steam so a little bit of sponge there and I A went
1:01:52
through Game Pass to basically lock down my game pass for the
1:01:56
year. So I added things to the list
1:01:59
but I didn't have. I didn't look at my, listen, go
1:02:02
on. Fuck.
1:02:02
I've got 200 games. That's not going to be enough to
1:02:04
be here. I didn't have that aspect and
1:02:09
also, I'm really bad for something and it'll become clear
1:02:13
through the year and as I ditch games, if I play a game, I my
1:02:20
brain thinks I Like the genre. So for a good example, is I
1:02:24
played ex-con, and I fucking loved eggs, calm, and I got to
1:02:29
this party late and I loved it and I thought it and you didn't
1:02:34
go on to steam this like, oh you played excellent.
1:02:37
Maybe you would like this game that similar to XCOM issues, the
1:02:40
same genre, but it isn't ex-con that you're like, according to
1:02:42
st. John, your onion.
1:02:43
My brain has. Yes.
1:02:45
I'm, you like that game because it is like, ex-con, but it's
1:02:49
not, excellent leader takes come again, and then I buy that game.
1:02:52
I'm and I play that game. I like oh fuck it.
1:02:54
No reason. I like ex-con this because I
1:02:55
like XCOM, I fucking hate the genre and it's like I'm ready,
1:03:01
bad for that. And if I look through games that
1:03:03
I've bought, and I've not played it, and I've got from when I
1:03:08
finished XCOM, I think I've got about eight or nine, different
1:03:15
strategy. Type games that are exactly the
1:03:18
same as X come and they're all crap.
1:03:22
And they're nothing like ex-con because they're not XCOM.
1:03:24
I like eggs gone. so yeah, I'm really bad for doing that and
1:03:29
it's like I'll do the same with Like I play Mass Effect.
1:03:32
All I like RPGs in space, So I must like RPGs open well with so
1:03:37
I can play. Well, that's crap as well.
1:03:40
I like that because it was Mass Effect, I liked Mass Effect.
1:03:45
So yeah, that's the aspect I'm really bad on.
1:03:47
So I tried to look forward Panic buying because I knew I would do
1:03:52
that. I would go and find What I think
1:03:56
is genres games, I'd like an end up buying games that I don't
1:03:59
like. And it's just, that's my
1:04:03
probably, my weak point. I tend to do that and I wanted
1:04:06
to avoid that. I also I also knew that would
1:04:08
buy football manager and that which is fuck me over.
1:04:11
Completely for the year, whatever you also need.
1:04:16
I think I mentioned to them which was evil West and shenmue
1:04:20
3, just pulled up my list of purchases on the 31st of
1:04:26
December. So that was evil West Shamu
1:04:29
thee. About the XCOM 2 collection.
1:04:34
Don't know why I never played XCOM.
1:04:35
I think I've got XCOM one maybe in the the pale somewhere if it
1:04:42
was a gimmick old or something. And but I mean it was like I
1:04:45
can't even remember what was in the collection, but it was
1:04:49
acquired and I had I think I'd take 10 think, we'd left over
1:04:57
from buying evil West with a 50-quid accreditor.
1:05:01
Got three more points. So I was looking how their spend
1:05:04
it bones was XCOM 2 collection about the vampire survivors DLC,
1:05:13
and I think I've lost like 40 pins because that credit expires
1:05:18
when it's free. And that was pretty much it.
1:05:21
I think I see Rico. Buying other stuff on Steam is,
1:05:25
there's a couple left's when we were talking to Dave.
1:05:29
There's a lot of stuff flying a bit and I definitely bought some
1:05:32
of that but I can bring the receipt and I'm not clicking on
1:05:35
stuff. I kind of asked and, and all
1:05:37
likelihood unless we've got a night together and I probably
1:05:40
won't play it. Or them quite a lot.
1:05:44
It's like multiplayer shit or whatever.
1:05:46
Oh a that pickup Ghostbusters. Yes I'm actually get that as
1:05:51
well. Which we still need to get a
1:05:55
sort of community innate. Organized on maybe played, maybe
1:05:59
10 minutes. One fly.
1:06:01
They were waiting on everybody getting online.
1:06:02
He go play something else and that it seemed really fun.
1:06:06
King, dakini plea on like, do the whole being the ghost thing.
1:06:11
I think I'll be quite fun. Especially against four people
1:06:14
you're not party with them basically terrorized.
1:06:17
Yeah, I managed to pick that up. I think the Epic story of I
1:06:20
picked up on I think that might have been my son of New Year's
1:06:24
Eve or maybe in the days leading up to it.
1:06:27
That that was a purchase and it kind of what I got was a couple
1:06:29
of Day games that they put me onto which was doughnut dough
1:06:33
dough and for score which are just some silly games that
1:06:38
usually end up playing at some point.
1:06:41
Stuff. Like we should have gone to bed.
1:06:45
I think they'll probably end up going to be disappointed.
1:06:48
I did think that it was great. It was quite amusing at the time
1:06:50
because it's like you've got Dave, who hadn't finished these
1:06:53
years of Shame telling us what we had to buy because he was
1:06:55
going to buy it at the other side, so we're buying shit.
1:06:59
I don't know if they've put half the stuff or if he even had that
1:07:01
these Library, it's not real, I don't know, but I did pick up a
1:07:05
few of those silly tape things that he was.
1:07:09
He was posting only you go through my steam library and see
1:07:14
I'm sure. Whatever night wind up playing,
1:07:17
it'll be a good fucking laugh. Anyway, not be enough.

poles out to influence some of our decisions such as whether we

1:08:10
answer another. Yes.

Let's bonus for the thing. There's another recording of
1:08:16

1:08:19
What's that shit? This isn't what I remember.
1:08:21
Yeah, fuck it because I've called night shift for stem
1:08:26
length. Let's be honest.
1:08:27
Controversial, it's gonna be one of those games that easy the
1:08:32
either you put on and it's awful and not at all like you remember
