S11E07: You've just got one of those faces · The Year Of Shame Challenge

• 0:00
  Hello and welcome to the Year of Share 2023.
• 0:22
  And now, let's go balls deep and meet this week's presenters.
• 0:27
  Hello and welcome to episode seven of the Year of Shame
• 0:30
  podcast. This month I'm joined by my good
• 0:33
  friend Gavin. Hello Gav, are.
• 0:36
  We doing guys UK. Yeah, not too bad.
• 0:40
  And Mr. Sy Stevens there. How's it going?
• 0:44
  Yeah, all good, all good. How are you doing?
• 0:47
  Oh, just take a T Boo. I'll just start off by saying we
• 0:52
  we appear to be missing our 4th host again.
• 0:57
  I think at this point it's a bit of a case, like a case of the
• 1:00
  herpes. You never know when he's going
• 1:02
  to show up. So who knows, He might pop in
• 1:05
  during the recording. But if not, hi Jess.
• 1:08
  We'll get straight to our agenda.
• 1:11
  And I'm seeing here, hey, Mr. McPherson has a point to raise.
• 1:16
  I do. It's, it's been mentioned to me
• 1:19
  that obviously we've got a few. Queries we've put out to the
• 1:24
  community on how we're doing this, how we're doing that this
• 1:28
  year with the podcasts and the rules.
• 1:31
  One of the queries that was raised is despite the fact that
• 1:38
  Sai Stevens appears to be friends with some people on his
• 1:42
  Steam account, he's hidden all his activity.
• 1:45
  I've just got to ask, what's that about today?
• 1:47
  I have no idea. I don't.
• 1:50
  Even if you can't see my activities, click.
• 1:53
  If I haven't fucking done something, I don't know.
• 1:56
  I don't fucking. I remember those settings.
• 1:58
  How would you can't see what games you play in what
• 2:00
  achievements you've done? Like you've bought the the.
• 2:05
  Sort of activity one might do. If you bought a load of games,
• 2:09
  this would be the yeah, I can imagine.
• 2:12
  But no, I haven't even got fucking clue how to turn that
• 2:14
  setting on to be fair. It's really you look up and you
• 2:17
  see layers of fears. We have Full Gamer score, 44
• 2:20
  Full Gamer score. Street Fighter sex.
• 2:23
  Don't know if that's on Steam, but Field Gamerscore.
• 2:25
  Exoprimal, I'm sure we'll have some helpful posts for the
• 2:29
  community on how you can adjust that setting so everyone can.
• 2:32
  I stand the quick look at the settings now, but yeah, it's not
• 2:36
  fucking obvious I don't. Know how to how to delete and
• 2:40
  hide everything? That's Friends don't have any of
• 2:44
  them fucking clearly. I mean you must have Gavin
• 2:48
  because Gavin has been doing some plenty snippet.
• 2:50
  He hasn't accepted my friend invite.
• 2:52
  Ooh, even better this way, as anyone friends, we say.
• 2:58
  Is that the problem? Yeah, I think that's the
• 2:59
  problem. No one's fucking friends with
• 3:01
  me. Let, I mean let.
• 3:02
  Let's not get hung up on that like we know size a cheating
• 3:05
  bastard based off last month. But let let's let's move, move
• 3:08
  swiftly on, shall we? We've we've got a question here
• 3:12
  from David Southall. Yeah, this actually came in last
• 3:15
  month, but it came in just after we finished recording.
• 3:19
  So we've we've stuck it in right at the start.
• 3:21
  So Dave wants to know what are running total for game shifted
• 3:25
  off the pile slash completed this year.
• 3:27
  You wanna give us a start, Gov? For me, it would be absolutely
• 3:33
  no fucking idea because I'm not organized enough to have a list.
• 3:36
  I work my way through them, but I'm not organized enough to have
• 3:39
  a list to give you a number. Sorry.
• 3:41
  For the fuck's sake, Size has got a spreadsheet, so this
• 3:45
  should be relatively easy, yeah? It's like I can answer these
• 3:49
  fucking questions. Give me a spreadsheet and I'm
• 3:51
  all right. Yeah, so I've my spreadsheet
• 3:54
  works in two ways. So it works out how what my
• 3:57
  completion is for each level of completion, but it doesn't work
• 4:03
  out if I delete a game, because I tend to, if I just get fucked
• 4:07
  off or something, just pin it off.
• 4:08
  I tend to delete it off the spreadsheet.
• 4:10
  And of course we should delete off the spreadsheet.
• 4:12
  The macros thinks it's not there because it isn't fucking there.
• 4:16
  But we'll come to what I've purged a little bit later on,
• 4:19
  because it was like in courage from someone's question last
• 4:22
  month about what we've binned off.
• 4:25
  And I did sit through it and go, but I'm never gonna play that,
• 4:28
  I'm never gonna play that and done that.
• 4:31
  So what I do have is I have a total of 166 games and I have
• 4:39
  completed or evergreened 25 of them.
• 4:48
  So it gives me a percentage complete overall with like each
• 4:52
  level having a little section and a little percentage.
• 4:55
  I'm about 21.2% complete, but I can break it down a bit further.
• 5:03
  Xbox One. I've got one game not started,
• 5:06
  and that's Lego Dimensions. I don't know if I'm not gonna
• 5:11
  play that, but I've still got it there.
• 5:14
  The Epic Game Store has got 10 games not started, one game
• 5:18
  completed. Microsoft has got eight games
• 5:21
  not started and a few played and a few completed.
• 5:26
  PlayStation 4 is off cuz that got lofted a couple of months
• 5:29
  ago. Steam has 71 games not started,
• 5:34
  18 played and 19 completed. And five bought this year.
• 5:38
  Fuck all bought this year apart from Idle Slayer, which was
• 5:40
  free. Just to check, so what's the
• 5:42
  number for the 2023 games? The 2023 games?
• 5:46
  That would be none, because None's been fucking bought this
• 5:50
  year. The big one that I think I
• 5:52
  really need to focus on though is the Oculus Quest.
• 5:55
  I got this, like we've talked about the Quest and how much we
• 5:59
  love it and it's like it really works well with it being plugged
• 6:01
  into the PC. But what I tend to do is I tend
• 6:03
  to forget the games that I've got on it built into it, like
• 6:07
  the Vader, the beta, Darth Vader game and other things like that
• 6:13
  and the bowling. But I find a lot of the Quest
• 6:15
  games are a bit like the old Wii games that you never really
• 6:19
  complete them, but you just go back to them.
• 6:22
  It's like you it's bowling. I mean the premium bowling on
• 6:26
  the Oculus Crest is really nice. It's really good.
• 6:28
  It really picks up the dynamics of bowling, the slight twill of
• 6:32
  a wrist as well. Really it impacts what happens
• 6:35
  in the game, but you're never going to complete that.
• 6:38
  But it's always going to just be there sort of thing.
• 6:42
  So it's like a lot of them are Evergreen games and good to pick
• 6:46
  up for a party type thing. But yeah, to answer Dave
• 6:49
  Southwall's question in a really fucking long way, I'm about 20%
• 6:53
  and that means I have done this year 24578, about 18 games
• 7:02
  completed so far this year and I had a target of 30 wanting to be
• 7:06
  completed, but we have more detail coming up later.
• 7:09
  I'm in a big gaming funk and I can't be fucked just now.
• 7:12
  Magic can't wait for the therapy session shortly.
• 7:17
  Myself, I have crossed off. Well, crossed off.
• 7:21
  I've finished 29. That was my my last count.
• 7:26
  Final one. Well, the last 29 was what,
• 7:29
  Sunday night? I think Sunday night?
• 7:31
  No, we're on Sunday night. Prick.
• 7:33
  Thursday night. Finish that off.
• 7:36
  We'll go into detail later. I've maybe sacked off about 10,
• 7:41
  which I've mentioned through the the, the, the, the recordings.
• 7:46
  So, yeah, I think, I think I'm making steady progress.
• 7:50
  Is that 29 credits you've seen roll or is that 29 that you've
• 7:54
  just gone? Yeah, I'm done.
• 7:55
  No 29, that's basically fully complete campaign done and the
• 7:59
  vast majority will be like as much gamer score as I can
• 8:03
  possibly get out of it because that's what I try and try and go
• 8:06
  for And obviously if it gets to the point where it's like far
• 8:11
  too difficult or if it's a fucking collect off on.
• 8:14
  That's it. Done.
• 8:15
  You went to 54 favors. It gets deleted.
• 8:18
  I'd done those fucking feathers, man.
• 8:20
  That was a back. I'm sure that was back before a
• 8:23
  HUD. Like a proper Internet
• 8:26
  connection. They use the fucking magazine
• 8:27
  and a pen and then trying to remember which ones you'd
• 8:32
  already collected. Yeah, that was always the
• 8:34
  bastard. You get to the end, you've got
• 8:35
  one left and you've crossed them all off.
• 8:38
  Fuck. Well, I did find like
• 8:40
  specifically Assassin's Creed. I found out years later there
• 8:43
  was a if you hovered over the map, it told you how many
• 8:45
  feathers you had in the region. So I could have like knocked it
• 8:47
  down here like looking in like 1 specific area opposed to the
• 8:51
  whole fucking map. Happy days.
• 8:56
  Will we will we do another question?
• 8:58
  Go on then. Go on, go on.
• 9:01
  Serena Haywood is asking what your favorite season is.
• 9:04
  Peppa, That was my that was my line.
• 9:07
  Fuck. I honestly summer.
• 9:12
  Summer's alright, but it's a bit too fucking hot.
• 9:14
  I think Spring's kind of the sweet spot for me.
• 9:17
  Even we have this question last month because we were morning
• 9:19
  how fucking hot it was. I don't fucking know.
• 9:22
  I'll probably change my answer. Was spring my favorite?
• 9:24
  Maybe hot. I like hot as well.
• 9:26
  That's king of cool, darker nights.
• 9:29
  Let's clear it on the TV. Don't fucking know.
• 9:31
  I don't listen to what we record.
• 9:33
  So yeah, seasons. Whatever.
• 9:36
  She's also asked what you're watching on telly at the moment
• 9:39
  and are you enjoying it? I actually took size
• 9:43
  recommendation and I watched Rabbit Hole, that near Kiefer
• 9:48
  Sutherland series. I thought it was really good,
• 9:50
  actually. I'm gonna say what you think of
• 9:52
  it. I really enjoyed that.
• 9:54
  It's a it's a good one for like just making you want to watch.
• 9:57
  It always finishes on a question, so you want to watch
• 10:00
  that next episode? Yeah, there's only one problem
• 10:02
  with series like that, as you get tired.
• 10:05
  And then you fall asleep mid the episode and you can't really
• 10:08
  figure out whether you've watched the episode or not, but
• 10:11
  like 24. So you end up rewatching the
• 10:13
  episode to see whether you fell asleep through it or whether you
• 10:15
  remember what's going on. Yeah.
• 10:18
  About like every Friday night for Gavin.
• 10:20
  Yeah. Wake up.
• 10:23
  What round the way on? What?
• 10:25
  What year is it? Who am I?
• 10:29
  I can buy games. Apparently been on you.
• 10:32
  Ashamed Disney Mark that you can't say.
• 10:35
  I digress. Yeah.
• 10:36
  What would you say you watched then?
• 10:38
  And you? We just binge watched the one
• 10:44
  with the guy from the bodyguard in it.
• 10:47
  It's on Amazon. Oh yeah, the starts receipt.
• 10:51
  Yes, Citadel. Yes.
• 10:54
  I've started up about 3 episodes in.
• 10:57
  Don't give any way spoilers. No spoilers 8.
• 11:00
  It probably takes 3 episodes to get going and then they pretty
• 11:03
  much answer everything in the last couple and it's like, you
• 11:07
  know this is over already. But yeah, it was good.
• 11:12
  Take pop your brain out, pop it on the sideboard and watch the
• 11:17
  other end of the scale. We're just started watching the
• 11:20
  second season. Say us with me and the wife
• 11:24
  watching from on Sky Sci-fi. They just uploaded the entire
• 11:29
  second series, so we are binge watching that and that has
• 11:33
  really big lost undertones that there are so many fucking
• 11:38
  questions. There's a go to one of these
• 11:40
  things that goes on for far too fucking long then as a really
• 11:43
  shit ended. Yeah, like Manifest.
• 11:45
  Never watched that. Back that off, we watched, we
• 11:50
  finished it off on Netflix last month.
• 11:52
  Just cuz you know, like you've watched it all and it's like,
• 11:54
  well you've got to finish the story off and then you like wish
• 11:57
  I fucking hadn't. I was going to say the other
• 11:59
  thing I've forgotten I'd watch recently was Secret Invasion.
• 12:02
  Oh, what's your fault in that? Because that is Marmite.
• 12:05
  I really liked it, and I know there's been a lot of contrary
• 12:09
  posts, but that's the fucking Internet for you, isn't it?
• 12:12
  But you know, if you take it for what it is, it was really well
• 12:14
  done. I enjoyed the sort of aesthetic
• 12:16
  of it, and sort of the second Captain America film was always
• 12:20
  one of my favorite. Sort of.
• 12:23
  Marvel films with sort of, you know, SHIELD in the background
• 12:25
  as well. And you know, I really enjoyed
• 12:28
  it. I've got question leads on from
• 12:31
  this because we were both watching a lot of streaming
• 12:33
  stuff, but I'm going to throw it back to you first.
• 12:35
  Uh, Ross, what you've been watching?
• 12:39
  No, I mean we we've done the last thing we properly watched
• 12:43
  was start to finish Ted Lasso. On Apple TV and for not being a
• 12:50
  sports fan and the slightest that is one of the absolute best
• 12:55
  TV series I'd say I've watched. It's fucking funny face start to
• 13:00
  finish, just brilliant all round.
• 13:02
  Just it's just nice and happy and it's just good.
• 13:07
  You watched it. I've watched I.
• 13:10
  Think about a series and a half of it.
• 13:14
  Not watched any of it. But yeah, I keep thinking one
• 13:17
  thing I want to you know, like sometimes you just need a bit of
• 13:20
  happy TV, don't you? Yeah, it's it's just honestly,
• 13:23
  as I say I I I've got no real interest in football.
• 13:28
  But football's just like it's kind of like a background
• 13:30
  character in the whole show. It's just, yeah, it's just
• 13:35
  brilliant. Those really well written and
• 13:38
  you get like T. CD3 and it's like, there's
• 13:41
  callbacks to like the very first episode and stuff that kind of
• 13:45
  some of it's like Blink and you'll miss it, but not really
• 13:48
  really well written and really clever and yeah, just all around
• 13:54
  good fun. So yeah, after that I started on
• 13:58
  Shameless US because I haven't kind of what the fuck do I want
• 14:02
  to watch? And that's our next bag.
• 14:04
  Especially try to, you know, comparing it to the UK
• 14:07
  Shameless, which I always really liked.
• 14:10
  Yeah, we'll see how that goes. I can come up with three series
• 14:12
  into that. Yeah.
• 14:13
  So I was thinking, you're streaming as a lot of stuff is.
• 14:17
  Do you think that TV shows suffer?
• 14:21
  And I think this is probably what we're getting from Secret
• 14:24
  Invasions is suffered from it is that you can watch the entire
• 14:28
  season now. It's like you don't get that
• 14:33
  build up of or what's going to happen next and have the week
• 14:37
  long wait between the next episode that you then go into
• 14:39
  work and have like that water cooler moment and like discuss
• 14:42
  it with your colleagues and of what happened away you think
• 14:45
  it's going to go. I remember The Lost.
• 14:47
  I worked with Fraser Stevenson of Doghouse and Derek Mcroberts
• 14:54
  and they got me into Lost and I was like Four Seasons behind.
• 14:57
  My binge watched that to catch up with them and then watched it
• 15:03
  week on week and it was so much better having to wait that week
• 15:08
  and like going over theories with everyone and talking about
• 15:10
  it. Do you think that TV shows are
• 15:12
  suffering for the fact that everything's available there
• 15:15
  now? I mean, potentially, but Secret
• 15:19
  Invasion was a weekly release. Yeah, and that's why I've not
• 15:23
  watched it yet, cuz I fucking hate that shit.
• 15:27
  Watch the fucking lot. I fucking pay for a streaming
• 15:29
  service. Give it to me all at once.
• 15:31
  Yeah, yeah, that's that's the one thing I always liked about
• 15:34
  Netflix. It was like here's here as go
• 15:36
  and obviously Amazon done a few shows where it was the weekly
• 15:41
  release schedule and Disney doesn't.
• 15:44
  They are really bad for it. But yeah, I'll just happily
• 15:47
  avoid the Internet for six weeks where they they pump them on it.
• 15:50
  And then we would just sit like one Saturday night and bottle a
• 15:53
  lane. And I think some programs really
• 15:57
  fucking. It's good that you can sit and
• 16:00
  watch one after the other, after the other, after the other.
• 16:02
  But then there's some that, like, it's really good that it
• 16:05
  built up. I mean, probably the biggest one
• 16:07
  I can think of is Line of Duty. Now the entire country goes mad
• 16:11
  for theories on that from like one episode to the next is
• 16:14
  unreal. Something else I've never
• 16:16
  watched because everywhere you fucking, when everybody was
• 16:20
  talking about it, I think I know more about it than some of the
• 16:22
  people that actually did watch it.
• 16:25
  The fucking chat that pops up. Anyway, let's.
• 16:28
  Let let's let's not turn this into the the TV podcast is that
• 16:33
  every we could be here a fucking night.
• 16:37
  Shareen has got another question, but I think we'll
• 16:38
  we'll park it there and and get some updates on your piles.
• 16:43
  I've actually got probably more gaming than the last two or
• 16:46
  three days mate, than I have in previous months.
• 16:51
  I've come down with a dreaded COVID, so at home I'm not able
• 16:55
  to go out and. Making the most of the time
• 16:59
  we've did back into Modern Warfare 2.
• 17:01
  I just finished off the Season 4 Battle Pass today and I'm
• 17:04
  checking off all the really OCD camo achievements just because
• 17:09
  I've time. I've been playing some Lego
• 17:13
  Batman caught my daughter. She still loves those games so
• 17:16
  we've been playing that. So playing Dying Light 2 with
• 17:20
  Dave, that game is just massive. It's just going on forever, but
• 17:25
  it is just good fun. Still a bit of Jedi Survivor,
• 17:29
  but I haven't done much more with that.
• 17:32
  I've started playing Tiny Combat Arena, just basically like a
• 17:36
  cell shaded. Sort of like old school flight
• 17:40
  SIM for like the late 90s sort of thing.
• 17:43
  Is that like tiny space crew? It looks like an old Micro Pose
• 17:47
  game is the best way I can describe, but old Micro Pose
• 17:50
  Flight Simulator? I think I might have that.
• 17:53
  And the other one I've been playing was Sky Rogue, which is
• 17:56
  similar sort of aesthetic cell shading, but it's more like the
• 18:01
  modern space twist on it. That, and I recently started
• 18:07
  Assassin's Creed Odyssey to do one of the Assassin's Creed
• 18:11
  games was on my list, so I picked the one that sort of
• 18:15
  historical period the most appealed to me and thought I'd
• 18:19
  roll with that. That was quite good, a lot of
• 18:20
  fun. On that I spent a.
• 18:23
  Cup while was on it earlier today and had good fun.
• 18:26
  That is that. You just started that today then
• 18:29
  yeah, there's there's the next 100 hours dictated for you.
• 18:34
  Well, if if I can't go to work this week, I may have time, so
• 18:38
  we'll see. But that and I played a bit of
• 18:42
  four score with Ross and Dave with that, if I explain to me
• 18:47
  what 4? Run Can we play in 4 score?
• 18:50
  Oh, was that the fucking result in Steam?
• 18:52
  No, that was the one. That was the one.
• 18:55
  It's basically like a golf game, but you can basically put like
• 19:04
  traps or things that help you on the course to either help you
• 19:09
  Hindi or opponents or just fuck everyone over.
• 19:12
  And you know, you could basically make the the holes
• 19:14
  impossible to play. It's a really good fun.
• 19:17
  It's a bit like sort of like a a golf version of Ultimate Chicken
• 19:20
  Holes, if you have ever played that.
• 19:23
  No, there's no, there's many insistencies of buying it.
• 19:26
  I never, I never caved like it was the 17 pound fucking price
• 19:31
  tag that put me off one freight the night.
• 19:33
  I was like, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's that's my month
• 19:38
  rolled up I think. Tell you what I'll I'll I'll go
• 19:41
  next because I think we might have let's say about a therapy
• 19:44
  session coming with Mr. Mr. Stevens.
• 19:49
  I actually I've done quite a chunk this month despite feeling
• 19:55
  like I've not actually had a lot of time.
• 19:59
  The the sort of the the kicker was my my wife and kids, they
• 20:01
  were away in Canada for two weeks so I had a couple of days
• 20:04
  off. And that kind of crossed over
• 20:07
  between the last recording and like this one.
• 20:11
  So like straight after the last recording I I I was doing a bit
• 20:16
  of looking about obviously I've got the Apple Four that's still
• 20:19
  there and we're not speaking about that.
• 20:23
  I've played. Sometimes and more still there.
• 20:25
  Yeah. I mean we had, we had a couple
• 20:27
  of like good nights where there was a lot of people for the
• 20:29
  community on just like splitting these sort of parties and all in
• 20:34
  the same voice chat, but like groups of four just plotting a
• 20:37
  bit and doing our sort of own thing and that was really
• 20:41
  enjoyable. I like that a lot.
• 20:44
  But I've just got no, I've got no urge to play it on one
• 20:48
  despite having still got a shit ton of stuff to do.
• 20:51
  I've finished the campaign, but obviously Diablo kind of opens
• 20:54
  up at that point and you're trying to get better gear and
• 20:57
  stuff to move up the tiers and then you've got the seasonal
• 21:01
  stuff coming in. But I've not even not even
• 21:03
  booted up, and maybe two weeks now I've just been playing
• 21:08
  through my other stuff. Which one that was I maybe
• 21:13
  played an hour of? Was that a hail blade saying it
• 21:16
  was sacrifice? Oh, that's nice.
• 21:19
  What a fucking game that is with.
• 21:21
  Headphones. Yes, yes.
• 21:24
  Lights out. Headphones on.
• 21:26
  And that is. That is.
• 21:28
  Honestly, best sound design I think I've ever experienced in a
• 21:33
  game. Or it was just amazing.
• 21:37
  I think I had to play it in kinder like dribs and drabs
• 21:41
  though, because it was really, it was really in there.
• 21:44
  It was like you're almost feeling like you were.
• 21:47
  You're having a fucking mental health breakdown while you were
• 21:50
  playing it, like fucking the surround sound.
• 21:52
  It was just just phenomenal. Yeah.
• 21:55
  I played that over a two 2-3 days just as I say in like
• 21:59
  little hour long bursts and then I went and played in between
• 22:03
  there was I think about Peggle in there just to kind of come
• 22:06
  down for the the the the head fuck.
• 22:10
  But yeah I mean if you've no, if you've no played Tailblade,
• 22:13
  fucking 100% play it the the rest of the game play.
• 22:17
  I mean it's no, no anything fucking spectacular.
• 22:20
  There's some combat in there but puzzle solving.
• 22:22
  But yeah the I think the the big seller for it was that sound
• 22:25
  design but yeah can moving on for that done what Turnip boy
• 22:31
  commits tax evasion. No.
• 22:34
  Got a fucking clue what what was going on there.
• 22:36
  I just yeah it was pop my achievements at me like
• 22:39
  sweeties. So went and done that.
• 22:41
  Got the full gamer score. It moved on Outer Worlds.
• 22:46
  Went back to that kind of still on my sort of Fallout kick.
• 22:50
  I was like, that's that's kind of Fallout and then it's not a
• 22:53
  game I'm going to have to start from the beginning again.
• 22:56
  So kicked off one of the Dlcs. But again, it's like, it's been
• 23:00
  that fucking long since I actually played it in the 1st
• 23:03
  place. I was like, what am I doing?
• 23:05
  Who am I? What?
• 23:05
  What's what? What?
• 23:07
  What does this do? So yeah, I don't know, maybe a
• 23:12
  struggle through that, but what kind of sidetracked me?
• 23:16
  There was the the weekly quest for was it Super Lucky's Tale?
• 23:21
  Sure. Gavin without done that.
• 23:23
  No idea what you mean mate. Collect 600 coins for one of the
• 23:27
  monthly achievement quests. So I went and done that, but
• 23:30
  then I just kept playing the game and I think 2 days later
• 23:34
  I'd fucking go every bit of gamers score to it.
• 23:37
  I was that it's quite nice. I liked it nice and laid back
• 23:40
  especially. I should have played that after.
• 23:42
  If I can Hail Blade, definitely a lot, a lot lighter.
• 23:46
  You literally played the whole Peppa Pig game.
• 23:48
  No Peppa Pig. That was you.
• 23:50
  Yeah, that was me. To be fair, I turned to the
• 23:54
  clock size. I had the bus.
• 23:56
  You didn't mention that in your plate.
• 23:58
  No, no, no. But that that was literally just
• 24:01
  do one achievement in it for yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 24:04
  yeah. And you know, I'll talk myself
• 24:06
  out for Microsoft reward points. Just put an achievement on it
• 24:09
  and and we'll call it quits. I'd have to say the award for
• 24:13
  gaslighting for the episode now it does belong to you.
• 24:16
  Go after that. Oh, you Peppa Pig.
• 24:18
  That was you. Oh yeah, it was me.
• 24:21
  But I'm sure Ross did it for that achievement as well.
• 24:25
  I absolutely did not. I you will find no reference of
• 24:29
  Peppa Pig on my profile. You will find Paw Patrol, but
• 24:33
  that was from before my boy had these.
• 24:36
  Before my boy had his own profile.
• 24:39
  That's that's my execution. I'm sticking to it.
• 24:41
  If it was me that was playing it, it would be finished.
• 24:44
  I was gonna say, is the gamer score completed on Paw Patrol?
• 24:50
  No, no, not at all. Super lucky Stale is sorry that
• 24:55
  we're fucking hard. Does that sit well with you?
• 24:58
  That it's sat in your profile with an uncompleted gamer score?
• 25:01
  Yeah, but I'll. I'll wait until fucking next
• 25:04
  January to play it so. So then I get fucking slagged
• 25:06
  for playing it with you. Can't Oversight out of mind?
• 25:12
  Yeah, other other than that I've actually with my mate Dave.
• 25:16
  We started back on Gears of War very first one, so we've done
• 25:22
  campaign. Not gonna lie, we put it on easy
• 25:26
  because played it to death like back in the day.
• 25:29
  Story and it was like, it's actually been ages since I've
• 25:34
  I've played through it and honestly it was kind of like
• 25:36
  playing a new game because it was like you could.
• 25:38
  I had vague memories like the sort of key points in the story
• 25:42
  and could mind all that that shit.
• 25:43
  But the actual levels and stuff, I was like, I can't remember
• 25:46
  this at all. So yeah, we've done, over a few
• 25:50
  nights, Gears of War One. We've done Gears Two.
• 25:54
  Gears Three think we're on the last Act of Judgment.
• 26:00
  Judgment which I to be fair I think judgment gets a bit a bad
• 26:05
  Rep It wasn't actually that bad had some I.
• 26:09
  Get Judgment had some poor design choices, like they added
• 26:12
  in a sort of scoring system, made you play it like their way.
• 26:16
  Like just you go in an area, you click on the big cog and it's
• 26:20
  like, yes, we only had fucking machetes for this area, but I've
• 26:25
  literally got a fully loaded Lancer and Boom shot on my back
• 26:29
  and why did they disappear? But I would, as I say we went
• 26:33
  through that need to finish that off and then we're going to do
• 26:38
  Gears Four and then Gears 5. But it was quite nice because
• 26:43
  the first time we played it I was always Player 1.
• 26:45
  So I'm I'm playing it for the other side now getting getting
• 26:48
  to be Dom. We don't talk about that.
• 26:52
  Yeah, great fun. And Oh yeah, one one other game
• 26:58
  and I get it's another one that came off something that Neil had
• 27:02
  posted. So he he posted a a TikTok that
• 27:06
  was one of the levels from Rayman Legends or Rayman
• 27:11
  Origins, Legends Origins. So it's got the same levels in
• 27:14
  it anyway, so it doesn't. Matter the music one?
• 27:16
  Yeah, the BlackBerry 1. Yeah, I fucking remember playing
• 27:19
  that and it was great. And I mean, I've had Rayman
• 27:24
  Legends for ages, had unlocked all the levels.
• 27:27
  But I was like, I'm gonna go back and play it.
• 27:29
  Might as well played the BlackBerry level like about five
• 27:32
  times despite having got everything out just to kind of
• 27:35
  go yay. And I think that was yesterday.
• 27:39
  I finished that off, 4 achievements left, but I'm not
• 27:43
  done. Just fucked me off with one of
• 27:47
  them, which is left at 99% despite having every fucking
• 27:51
  medal in the game. It says I'm missing something
• 27:53
  but it won't tell me what. So yeah that's that's the latest
• 27:56
  off my my pile. Yeah, that's me.
• 28:00
  So shall we take a minute? Compose ourselves, Gavin?
• 28:04
  Because we're over to sigh, and I think this could be tough.
• 28:08
  It's not going to be tough. It's not going to be long
• 28:10
  either, to be fair. It's like, put it out there.
• 28:14
  I'm in the biggest gaming funk I've ever had, ever.
• 28:18
  And it's like, it's not that I want to play new games, I just
• 28:23
  don't want to play fucking games.
• 28:26
  I just can't get into anything. I've tried stuff that I've used
• 28:30
  to, like stuff that's different, something that's new.
• 28:33
  Nothing is grabbing me at all, and it's meaning I'm either
• 28:37
  ditching stuff off or just getting more and more frustrated
• 28:41
  and not finding something that I'm liking to play.
• 28:44
  And it's like, we spoke about last month and you were like,
• 28:47
  definitely play Detroit, become Human.
• 28:49
  And it's like, I'm looking at the screenshots of it on Steam
• 28:51
  and I'm like, this is the game that I should love.
• 28:53
  I loved it. Everything that's like come
• 28:56
  before it. But it's similar.
• 28:58
  I should definitely like this and it's just like a boot up and
• 29:00
  went yeah no fuck that. And that's pretty much my gaming
• 29:04
  for the entire month. Only things that I've played is
• 29:07
  idle Slayer and that's just a pick up fucking click a box and
• 29:11
  then come back out cuz it does it itself.
• 29:14
  So it's like you don't even have to do anything there.
• 29:15
  And then I've dabbled in concrete jungle, which is kind
• 29:20
  of like a city building. Deck building puzzly type game.
• 29:27
  It's got old style graphics. When I say old style graphics,
• 29:30
  not like the fake 8 bit, it's just not great graphics.
• 29:36
  But it's simple. You just basically build a city.
• 29:38
  You get cards, you have to put them in certain places, collect
• 29:42
  points to complete columns. It's pretty self-explanatory.
• 29:48
  But it's I've been playing it and I do A1 level and I'm just
• 29:51
  like, no, I can't play anymore of this.
• 29:52
  And then I'll go back another day, I'll play one more level
• 29:55
  and that's it. That's all I want to play.
• 29:57
  I just literally don't want to play games.
• 29:59
  So I've end up ditching shit because I don't want to play it.
• 30:04
  And what I've got rid of is a pride swag and sorcery.
• 30:09
  Just couldn't get into that asshole.
• 30:11
  And it's like, it's one of those ones where you do one bit, then
• 30:14
  send your little minions off somewhere to do stuff.
• 30:16
  That's. I don't even know what they do.
• 30:19
  They kill monsters. I assume I couldn't get into it
• 30:21
  enough to care. PC building Simulator that I
• 30:26
  don't see where that got so much fucking hyped.
• 30:28
  It's the most boring fucking game.
• 30:30
  I think if any game puts the word simulator at the end of it,
• 30:33
  it must just call it fucking boring.
• 30:35
  Game of the Century I one more simulator with agree.
• 30:42
  Sydney's Simulation 5. I've bend off because fuck me,
• 30:46
  no one's got time for that. Hero defense, which was just
• 30:50
  basically tower defense for the monster twist?
• 30:52
  That's fucked off as well. Hex Seed, which is basically
• 30:56
  hexagonal. Hexagonal Hexagon.
• 30:59
  It's fucking hexagon. Minesweeper is what it is.
• 31:01
  It's bullshit that's been bitched off as well.
• 31:06
  What else have I got rid of? The Telltale Series is a Batman.
• 31:10
  They're gone. I don't want them anymore.
• 31:12
  The Bunker. I've had enough FMV this year to
• 31:15
  last me a fucking lifetime and bad FMV at that.
• 31:19
  Castlestorm can't even remember what that was.
• 31:21
  I think that was like ballast Knights in shining armor
• 31:25
  shooting shit craft the world craft fuck all crafted into the
• 31:31
  bin. Crash Bandicoot 2 and Three off
• 31:33
  of Insane Trilogy got binned off because it's bullshit with its
• 31:37
  control system. I thought you would like that
• 31:42
  one. Felix the Reaper got binned off
• 31:45
  because I just looked at him and went, why do I even fucking own
• 31:48
  this game? The same for the for the king,
• 31:51
  ghosts and Goblin's resurrection got binned off because they've
• 31:54
  just made that hard for being hard.
• 31:55
  There's no reason for it to be hard, and it's so not.
• 31:59
  And it's an accurate representation of the old game,
• 32:03
  but it's so isn't because they've made it deliberately
• 32:06
  hard. For no reason.
• 32:08
  I just wanted it from a rose tinted specs type aspect of
• 32:12
  playing that They've ruined that, so that's fucked off.
• 32:15
  Kevin's vault was another one. I looked at the screen and went
• 32:17
  yeah, don't know why on that either.
• 32:18
  That must have been bought on a Humble Bundle at some point that
• 32:21
  I redeemed for no reason. Infinite mini golf cuz I don't
• 32:26
  even like fucking playing mini golf in real life, let alone
• 32:29
  fake life. So that's gone.
• 32:31
  Mysterium It's a board game. Board games don't really
• 32:34
  translate that well when you don't have friends, don't have
• 32:36
  friends. So that's fucked off.
• 32:40
  Sacred Fire is basically a book that you click on.
• 32:44
  It's not even a choose your own adventure book.
• 32:48
  It's just awful. Shapeshifting detective.
• 32:51
  More FMV shite Tiny Troopers. Another one I looked at I went
• 32:55
  don't know why I own it. The Walking Dead cuz it was
• 32:57
  Telltale. I completed season one of The
• 33:01
  Walking Dead back when it was a cool game and it was like it was
• 33:06
  it Xbox Arcade that had it weekly.
• 33:08
  Yeah, yeah. They've done the, the seasonal
• 33:10
  thing, didn't they? Yeah, it's like I enjoyed it
• 33:13
  then, you know, like download one.
• 33:15
  I mean, it was it 800 points, arcade points.
• 33:18
  You'd payout, you get an episode, you play the episode,
• 33:21
  then you'd wait to what, 2-3 weeks for the next episode?
• 33:24
  I was all over that. And I completed season one.
• 33:26
  I just went to complete season one before going on to season 2,
• 33:29
  Free Macho, near a new frontier. And I was like, I'll be fucked.
• 33:33
  And it's like, if I can't be fucked playing season one, then
• 33:35
  why should I play any of the others?
• 33:36
  So I didn't. So I bend them off too.
• 33:39
  Wingspan, another board game that doesn't compute well.
• 33:43
  Worms. Armageddon.
• 33:45
  Another game that I loved so many years ago but I don't wanna
• 33:49
  play anymore. Full Throttle Remastered.
• 33:52
  That's gonna be controversial. I've been that off because I
• 33:55
  fucking loved it years ago. But again, I'm a lot older and I
• 33:58
  don't wanna play it anymore. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
• 34:01
  cuz I don't like fucking walking in real life, let alone walking
• 34:03
  in fake life. Let's go Pikachu.
• 34:08
  Let's fuck off Pikachu cuz that's one of the most awful.
• 34:10
  I don't get Pokémon. I've discovered I was tried
• 34:13
  playing it on the Switch. I don't get it.
• 34:15
  I do not get Pokémon. Someone can explain it to me and
• 34:18
  talk. Call me an idiot if they want
• 34:20
  to. Don't fucking give a shit.
• 34:22
  I don't get it Yesterday and its entire fucking franchise.
• 34:27
  Which is like a point and click match in the same vein of Full
• 34:31
  Throttle Remastered. Heavy Rain bitched that off as
• 34:34
  well because I'd already complete on the PS4.
• 34:35
  Don't know why it's on my fucking list.
• 34:37
  I know it's on the PC. I know I bought it.
• 34:39
  I don't know why I fucking bought it, because I've already
• 34:42
  completed it. Why am I buying games that I've
• 34:44
  already completed? And that pretty much sums up the
• 34:48
  whole thing. The only game that I was about
• 34:49
  to play and Game Pass went no, you're fucking not.
• 34:52
  It was 2 Point Campus because they Oh yeah, that came off.
• 34:57
  Was it last week? Yeah, I came off for absolutely
• 34:59
  no reason. No.
• 35:00
  Well, I say no reason and no announcement.
• 35:02
  I think it's at one the beginning of the month they
• 35:03
  announced which games are coming off and I saw that and I was
• 35:06
  like, oh, it's coming off. I haven't played that yet.
• 35:08
  Ah, fuck it. No.
• 35:10
  Yeah, I I didn't even try. Because my general rule is if
• 35:14
  the notification comes up and it says something's coming off, if
• 35:19
  I've already started it and got a decent way through, I'll try
• 35:23
  my hardest to finish it off before it before it goes, which
• 35:27
  that's what I've done with that manhunt or the last month.
• 35:29
  But yeah, I don't think anything this month that came off was
• 35:32
  like on sort of actual active pile.
• 35:36
  No. And I always have that fear that
• 35:38
  I'm gonna go, oh, it's coming off, oh, I best play that and
• 35:41
  then I really fall in love with it.
• 35:44
  And then it gets. I've read.
• 35:45
  Yeah, I mean the chance of that happening this month for fucking
• 35:49
  between Slim and none, but I there's always that chance in
• 35:53
  there. I think after hearing hearing
• 35:56
  yours your little way talk there, I'm gonna go play Hell
• 35:59
  Blade to chew myself up again. Yep, because fucking mental
• 36:05
  breakdowns are far much more fun than the month I'm having.
• 36:08
  I mean, maybe you just need to, I don't know, try some
• 36:12
  multiplayer or something. You just need someone to talk
• 36:16
  to. The voices in my head talk to me
• 36:20
  enough and it's like they they're not helping.
• 36:23
  Just have a shocking in someone's face on multiplayer
• 36:25
  that that works as well, you know.
• 36:28
  Yeah, grab, grab a few beers, play, play.
• 36:32
  Let's see as well. I'll keep thinking about it.
• 36:34
  And as I was trying to work out why I I don't and I it's, I've
• 36:39
  got a really big fear of failure.
• 36:43
  And it's like if I know I'm not going to be very good at
• 36:45
  something, I just don't know if I can do it.
• 36:47
  And I know I'm not going to be very good at it.
• 36:49
  So I'm not going to do it. Yeah.
• 36:50
  But you're not going to be the worst there, mate.
• 36:52
  I. Was going to be someone worse,
• 36:54
  Worse than you at anything. So you know and honestly it
• 36:58
  doesn't even mar. It's just you spend like you
• 37:03
  take Friday for example. I don't think we actually played
• 37:06
  that many, that many games. No, there's only a handful.
• 37:10
  We're chatting more than anything else, yeah.
• 37:12
  And that's that's generally what tends to happen.
• 37:14
  It's you start drinking and then there's more chat and then
• 37:19
  fucking pee breaks or every fucking 5 seconds between
• 37:23
  different people. Yeah, that's I for more.
• 37:28
  More emphasis on the beers and the gears, Yeah, I mean, to be
• 37:31
  honest, I I, I think I'd, I'd happily sit just chatting on a
• 37:36
  Friday night and having a drink that it's more the the social
• 37:39
  aspect for me than actually playing anything, yeah.
• 37:42
  But like an online version, go to a pub with an arcade machine
• 37:47
  and a lot of swimming. Do pubs still have arcade
• 37:50
  machines? This one does best pub ever on
• 37:55
  that happy end. Well, well, I will speak
• 37:59
  speaking pubs. I guess Serena's last question,
• 38:03
  she was wanting to know if any of us had ever been in a fist
• 38:06
  fight and well, what's the story?
• 38:10
  I'm I'm going to say sigh. Sigh's bound to be in a fight.
• 38:14
  That never been in a fist fight? No, you've just got one of their
• 38:17
  faces. I know.
• 38:19
  It's just like I think you're confusing being in a fist fight
• 38:22
  with just people wanting to knock me the fuck out.
• 38:26
  Well, I mean there is, I mean it's only a fight if you if you
• 38:29
  hit back in it. So you ever.
• 38:30
  Been punched in the face? Exactly.
• 38:31
  That's it. Just being punched in the face
• 38:34
  you gave you. Not taking it in in a fight.
• 38:40
  Played rugby in school a fair bit and been punched on nights
• 38:45
  out that I knew nothing about. So not much of a fight in that
• 38:48
  way, no. Yeah.
• 38:50
  So we're all, we're a bunch of boring bastards.
• 38:52
  I mean I've, I think I've been in one actual fight in my life
• 38:55
  and you can't even count it because it was like fucking 13
• 38:58
  or something, just that short of doing a Taekwondo.
• 39:02
  I mean that's that was fighting, but that was regulated a bit, a
• 39:07
  bit point based scoring, getting kicked in the face for points.
• 39:12
  Then I cover one one of them, you know.
• 39:13
  OK, we've got a question from Stuart Ramage.
• 39:17
  Playing RPGs, do you choose the character that's magic C?
• 39:21
  For Bazooka, it's got to be. Bazooka, isn't it?
• 39:24
  It's got time for any of the other rubbish, I don't know,
• 39:27
  quite like the the lovable rogue sneaky bee bastard to go in.
• 39:30
  Backstab. Backstab.
• 39:32
  See, I go, I'd probably go more Bezerker tank type aspect
• 39:36
  because I know I'm going to get bored like trying to like
• 39:40
  control enemies and doing the sneaky set and I'm just going to
• 39:42
  go fucking hell forever and jump into and have shit tons of shit
• 39:45
  that I can't. Handle with anything else.
• 39:48
  So yeah, Berserker look for magic.
• 39:52
  What about magic rogue? Can it be a magic rogue I like?
• 39:55
  Maybe rogues? OK, we've got another question
• 39:58
  from Stuart Whitehouse. If a game lets you customize
• 40:01
  your luck at the start, how long do you spend in the character?
• 40:04
  Create the screen before you actually start a game and do the
• 40:08
  accept or randomize. Too fucking long.
• 40:12
  Yeah, that was going to be my line as well.
• 40:14
  It's far too fucking long. And then you don't see the
• 40:16
  fucking cunt's face for the rest of the game, yeah?
• 40:20
  That's about right, isn't it? Yeah, I mean if you can like
• 40:24
  matter of time I've spent on like customizing legs and then
• 40:28
  not fucking seeing them and then uninstalling the game.
• 40:31
  Yeah, like it. That's it.
• 40:32
  Calm. See, I mean when it comes to I,
• 40:36
  I typically like if if there is a random button I'll I'll go
• 40:39
  through the random till I get something that I kind of like
• 40:41
  the looky and then I'll tweak it like change it here or whatever.
• 40:44
  But and. Yeah, totally.
• 40:46
  That's far still spend far too long and even even worse if you
• 40:52
  go back to like the WWE games where you could obviously
• 40:55
  create. No, it's not kinda in line with
• 40:58
  the question, but the WWE games where you could create your own
• 41:02
  wrestlers and so you had like lists on the Internet telling
• 41:05
  you exactly what points to put in to make it look like someone
• 41:08
  who wasn't actually licensed. Yeah, or like Ryan Reynolds or
• 41:11
  Pamela Anderson or. Yeah, and I think, I think there
• 41:15
  are like websites as well for that, but like Skyrim and things
• 41:18
  like that, of how to create, customize your character to have
• 41:21
  like Blade as your character. And yeah, yeah, the people who
• 41:27
  are a lot more artistic and cleverer than me, clever or.
• 41:32
  Well, you say artistic and cleverer.
• 41:34
  I just say that we've got jobs. These fuckers probably are as
• 41:40
  well. The the, the one was it, I think
• 41:44
  Fight Night, EA Sports Fight Night.
• 41:47
  That had an option where you could just download the
• 41:49
  characters, I'm sure. Yeah, I think I remember
• 41:52
  something like that, that you went, and I want Rocky, there's
• 41:55
  Rocky. So you ended up with a whole
• 41:56
  cast of Rocky? I'm trying to remember, wasn't
• 41:59
  there one of those types of games where you could upload a
• 42:01
  photo or something like that, that he would put it onto a
• 42:03
  badly? Yeah.
• 42:05
  He did that for a while. It's like if you gave him a
• 42:09
  picture and it's like. You could put your face into
• 42:12
  Fight Night, UFC, FIFA, FIFA, FIFA.
• 42:19
  Maybe, yeah. And when it was Tiger Woods's
• 42:22
  licenses over and Tiger Woods's PGA, you could do it.
• 42:27
  Cuz I remember doing it for all of them.
• 42:29
  Yeah, I remember Ubisoft done it as well for Rainbow 6 Vegas and
• 42:35
  absolutely. I'm thinking the absolute
• 42:38
  bastards tied it in achievement, which is the only achievement I
• 42:42
  do not have on Rainbow 6 Vegas too, because they put it and you
• 42:47
  needed a fucking the official Xbox camera to make it work.
• 42:52
  Bastards. What was it?
• 42:54
  Such a shit movement. Although I do remember running
• 42:58
  run in Rainbow 6 and there was a guy because obviously it took a
• 43:02
  picture, so we had Osama bin Laden on our team.
• 43:06
  But the whole game goal is behind you.
• 43:10
  He's in The Cave. OK.
• 43:13
  Next question we've got is from Brian Riley.
• 43:15
  What's your favorite place to holiday?
• 43:18
  For me it's got to be either Cuba or city breaker.
• 43:22
  We like going to Cologne in Germany.
• 43:25
  What are you guys? It's kind of hard for me.
• 43:30
  I'm not really. I've not been a lot of places.
• 43:33
  I've been a I've been a fucking Amsterdam on my honeymoon.
• 43:37
  I would 100% go back there because there was still a lot of
• 43:41
  the to see. I'm trying to remember next time
• 43:46
  and yeah, well my my wife, she's for Canada, so we go there quite
• 43:50
  a lot. But to be honest I wouldn't say
• 43:53
  it's my favorite place because that's not really a holiday.
• 43:55
  That's a go see. People think my actual, like, I
• 44:00
  don't know. To answer the question properly.
• 44:03
  My my best memories of going on holiday are like when I was
• 44:07
  younger and we just went to a fucking caravan park.
• 44:11
  Just our little shit hole and our broth.
• 44:15
  It was cheap, it was dirty, but basically the whole fucking
• 44:19
  family went up and it was a great time and a lot of a lot of
• 44:24
  really happy memories, especially the arcade where the
• 44:27
  the the mums used to fuck off. They bingo and we got left with
• 44:31
  like a bag of fucking pound coins to play our kids all all
• 44:34
  night. And yeah, I watched the Shane
• 44:38
  and when I think I was 8 years old and didn't sleep for the
• 44:40
  rest of the holiday, happiness. That's not really been to that
• 44:45
  many places either, to be fair, obviously up into Disneyland
• 44:52
  that was taking the kids like years ago, must be about five
• 44:56
  years ago now. That was really good.
• 44:59
  Not really ever go anywhere. We we used to own like a Shelley
• 45:02
  in lays down just down in Kent that which was the family owned
• 45:10
  it. So like the school holidays, you
• 45:11
  went down, you broke up on the Friday afternoon, you were in
• 45:14
  the Shelley by Friday night and that's where you stayed for the
• 45:16
  school holiday, you know, and that's and that was just arcades
• 45:20
  after arcades and things like that.
• 45:22
  But it but nowadays it's like we try and go like.
• 45:26
  Abroad every couple of years just so the kids that can
• 45:28
  experience it but that's more like experiencing the food the
• 45:31
  places and all that more than just like chilling out.
• 45:33
  The best of this with the family is a bit like use like the
• 45:37
  pamper vans in our breakfast like Craig Tara is really the
• 45:41
  kids love Craig Tara. I love getting the fucking two
• 45:45
  quids worth of two piece and putting them on the tipping
• 45:49
  point type machines and. Getting all the tickets out and
• 45:52
  spending £200 on machines till you get all the tickets so you
• 45:56
  can get a pen with Craig Tara on it at the end of your holiday.
• 45:59
  Fucking ticket machines. You always get that twat that
• 46:02
  goes up. Really.
• 46:03
  A fucking mountain of them. Yeah, That's nice that that.
• 46:06
  How much did that actually cost you?
• 46:08
  There's a couple that's like, I'm really good at.
• 46:10
  The kids won't play them. They just like that person.
• 46:13
  It's like there's one that's like a tower builder and it's
• 46:16
  like I can normally hit. It's like it goes up.
• 46:18
  It's like every level is 100 levels.
• 46:20
  Every level is 1 ticket, but if you get to the 100th level, you
• 46:25
  jump up from 100 tickets to 1000.
• 46:27
  And I've probably got the thousand tickets out of it six
• 46:30
  or seven times. That's enough to get your pencil
• 46:33
  sharp. Yeah, with your.
• 46:35
  Pencil. No, I think it gives you the
• 46:37
  blade out of the pencil sharp. Now it's it's nothing else.
• 46:41
  Yeah, well, that's great. Data blade in a toothbrush.
• 46:46
  It's all you need, man. Right.
• 46:47
  We've got a question from Mark Monahan.
• 46:50
  If Idol slay it is allowed as a free game, but a game on Game
• 46:55
  Pass isn't, what's the difference between them when
• 46:58
  you've only ever used reward points to obtain Game Pass and
• 47:00
  Gold subscriptions and never actually spent any money off the
• 47:04
  cyber tool? So they're just as free as the
• 47:07
  free game? I think this might be directed
• 47:10
  towards you. Sigh.
• 47:11
  I think Mark's just trying to justify fucking playing Game
• 47:15
  Pass games. I don't know how many ways I had
• 47:18
  this fucking rant last month, and I don't want to have this
• 47:21
  rant again this month, but I'm going to fucking have it.
• 47:23
  I can see it. If there is a transaction of any
• 47:28
  fucking kind, then the game is not free.
• 47:31
  You can try and convince yourself it's free all you like.
• 47:34
  If you subscribe to Game Pass, you have a subscription that is
• 47:37
  your subscription. That's your transaction.
• 47:39
  If you've paid for it, that's your transaction.
• 47:42
  If you've used reward points that you can use on something
• 47:44
  else. That is your transaction.
• 47:46
  Microsoft didn't go Mark. Here you go.
• 47:49
  Here's the fucking Game Pass description.
• 47:52
  Have it for no fucking work whatsoever.
• 47:55
  Or money or transaction or reward points.
• 47:59
  It's all free. If Microsoft have done that,
• 48:01
  then yes, that game is free. But if they haven't, there is a
• 48:04
  transaction. It's not free.
• 48:06
  Idol Slaver is fucking free to play.
• 48:09
  You don't have to pay for it. You don't have to buy DLC for
• 48:12
  it. You do not have to have any
• 48:13
  payables in it. You don't buy anything in it.
• 48:16
  It's a fucking free game, more free than full guys and Rocket
• 48:21
  League. That's the difference.
• 48:26
  I mean, I see what you're saying.
• 48:30
  However, to put it in a sort of perspective, my year of game
• 48:35
  pass right now that's that's been paid with reward points.
• 48:41
  However that was paid for in 2020.
• 48:47
  So I'm I'm three years ahead. Like as as long as the the the
• 48:52
  three-year limits in place, I'll always be at that because my
• 48:54
  reward points go directly and a game pass first, and then
• 48:57
  whatever's left over can be used to buy games or whatever.
• 49:02
  JX Max. One point.
• 49:05
  That subscription stops being your free year bulk that you've
• 49:09
  like upgraded and paid for three years ago and becomes
• 49:13
  transactional. Yeah, but that transaction took
• 49:15
  place in 2020, no? No, no.
• 49:18
  So right. OK.
• 49:20
  So if it happened in July of 2020 and you had three years
• 49:28
  that would run out in July 2020 free, you have continued to?
• 49:34
  Increase that by using the reward points.
• 49:38
  Yeah, so reward points I got and converted in 2020.
• 49:42
  But there's only a three-year maximum.
• 49:44
  How? How for long does it last?
• 49:47
  No, that's that's the point. So when I converted my three
• 49:50
  years originally back in, what was it, 2018-2019?
• 49:53
  Yeah, and that that gave me a three-year buffer.
• 49:57
  So during that three years you've got time to build up your
• 50:00
  reward points and any time like say for example, I subscribed
• 50:06
  April the 1st 20/20/19 for three years.
• 50:10
  As soon as April the 1st 2020 rolled round, I just dumped
• 50:14
  another load of points to buy a year and that took me to the
• 50:18
  next year and that that's effectively what what I've done
• 50:22
  every year. As soon as it gets to the point
• 50:24
  where I can buy a year, I'll add on or more recently it's like
• 50:29
  every sort of three months just to make sure that that that
• 50:31
  sub's still there, especially with the the price changes
• 50:34
  coming and stuff. So as it stands I I run out in
• 50:38
  August, well, August the 1st 2020. 6 Just so I'm clear as
• 50:45
  well, on this side, you're saying if it's something you
• 50:49
  haven't paid for and isn't monetized in any way, that
• 50:54
  that's OK? Yeah.
• 50:57
  Yes, unless your friend has bought it and you're just gonna
• 51:00
  share there. My My Game Pass, My three years
• 51:04
  of Game Pass was actually a competition win with Xbox UK, so
• 51:09
  does that mean any on your rules?
• 51:10
  Anything under a Game Pass this year would be fair, fair game,
• 51:13
  wouldn't it? Yeah, that's that's what your
• 51:16
  rules are. You don't have any.
• 51:17
  You're spending money, there's no transaction there.
• 51:19
  Then technically you are not even buying the subscription.
• 51:23
  So the subscription is free, but when did you win it?
• 51:27
  On it Christmas. No 2021 I think it is, or 2020.
• 51:34
  It was a competition with Loud Bible and Xbox UK doing lockdown
• 51:39
  on lockdowns. Anyway, I had a load of three
• 51:43
  60s. Fucking hell Series.
• 51:45
  Yes, three series S's I give, I give one away to my nephew and
• 51:50
  my daughter. Once the Conservatory but.
• 51:53
  Technically then you've not paid for the subscription.
• 51:56
  That was my point. There was no transaction.
• 51:57
  There is no transaction there, yeah, and regardless I've I've
• 52:03
  not actually played anything off Game Pass this year anyway.
• 52:07
  But I will direct you back to our first recording.
• 52:09
  But I said I was still open to playing new shit, so fuck.
• 52:12
  He's up. I've.
• 52:14
  Just not done it OK And I I don't actually think I've moved
• 52:19
  away from I I I never drew the line when I says I was thinking
• 52:24
  like a 10 out one in kind of deal with game Pass but to be
• 52:29
  honest there's nothing that's been really like fucking stand
• 52:32
  out and must play. Harfield hasn't been released
• 52:36
  yet. Not yet, anyway.
• 52:38
  OK, that that takes us into the polls.
• 52:40
  Done it. It did.
• 52:42
  We had, we had took two polls moving on from the end of last
• 52:46
  month. All one was in relation to my
• 52:49
  point about Jedi Survivor being my Joker or a gift.
• 52:54
  Well, the comments suggest it was a gift, but the voting is
• 52:57
  skewed the other way. So just because it was a Joker,
• 53:01
  I may yet get a gift. See, I I I honestly if in in my
• 53:09
  in my view had you not came on air podcast and said it was your
• 53:13
  Joker then you'd have been fine playing the gift card But you
• 53:18
  waited a month. Yeah, you played.
• 53:23
  It Oh, that's again, backpedal. Yeah, that just that just
• 53:27
  doesn't work like so, yeah. But we had a second poll in
• 53:33
  relation to Mr. Stevens Foibles about his idol Slayer playing.
• 53:42
  The options were. Was 11% of the vote?
• 53:47
  Was this allowed 11% of the vote?
• 53:49
  Nope, 24% of the vote? Hell no.
• 53:53
  And the winner was 65% of the vote.
• 53:56
  Still no. Other options could have been
• 53:59
  added, but wouldn't the group has spoken group.
• 54:02
  Spoken doesn't say we fucking listen to him.
• 54:06
  I thought the polls were legally binding.
• 54:08
  I thought that. No, I don't think so.
• 54:10
  I mean, you you discovered that you can't trust people.
• 54:13
  I mean, people still vote for the fucking Tories so the polls
• 54:16
  can go and suck my hairy balls. What?
• 54:19
  What Game poll this month? We need a poll Is Idle Slayer
• 54:22
  again? I think it's going to be how do
• 54:24
  you can't justify whether or not Game Pass has been paid for.
• 54:28
  Yeah, I mean I'm, I'm justifying I've never paid for Game Pass.
• 54:32
  Let's let's just draw the line there.
• 54:34
  Done. I'm just fine.
• 54:37
  I've never paid for a fucking idle Slayer.
• 54:40
  I mean we could do a poll for the community just to suggest a
• 54:43
  game for side to play to get out of his funk.
• 54:46
  It could be Peppa Pig, it could be Ben 10, it could be no no end
• 54:51
  of things that the community. Could suggest it could, but I
• 54:54
  don't own any of that shit, so then I would have to buy a game.
• 54:57
  You've got, you've got Game Pass, There's a few of them on
• 54:59
  there. I see no see on my Game Pass.
• 55:02
  For you it was different to you guys.
• 55:04
  I say for Game Pass, if it wasn't released before the 1st
• 55:07
  of January, I wouldn't play it on Game Pass.
• 55:09
  Oh, so you're against free games, but not free games?
• 55:13
  No, I'm against. I'm not against free games.
• 55:15
  I'm against the games that you pay for for a fucking
• 55:18
  subscription service. A subscription service I've not
• 55:22
  paid for. I have paid for.
• 55:25
  Maybe one of the generous viewers would gift him a game
• 55:27
  for him to play on Steam or something.
• 55:29
  I like to that or or share your list, yeah.
• 55:34
  But good start. And then we go through and we
• 55:37
  just, we just turn it in here. Choose your own adventure.
• 55:41
  We use the Guinea pig. You have to play it.
• 55:46
  You know that. They turn it off and say it was
• 55:48
  shit. Yeah, well, that's that's not
• 55:50
  going to happen. Every game's fucking shit at the
• 55:52
  moment isn't. That I have to say, sorry.
• 55:55
  There is a Google guide on how to unlock your Steam privacy
• 55:59
  settings that will be posted with the recording so.
• 56:04
  I mean, that's pretty nice. I'm looking at my privacy
• 56:05
  settings and it's like game details friends.
• 56:09
  Yeah, this category contains list of all games on your Steam.
• 56:11
  Can't games if you. Don't add anyone.
• 56:14
  As your friends say, it's a bit by the by, isn't it?
• 56:18
  Obviously you're not my friend then.
• 56:20
  No. Yeah, if you can't see my list,
• 56:21
  you're not my friend. So I mean this is, this is Oh
• 56:24
  no, I was a bit to I was a bit to call you on people not adding
• 56:29
  people. But no, you did.
• 56:31
  Bastard just means I can go. Go dozy on you.
• 56:37
  Anywho, let's now get hung up on this.
• 56:40
  We know I'm right and size wrong.
• 56:41
  So next section is what we've missed this month.
• 56:48
  There's something in here about Call of Duty servers, which I'm
• 56:51
  guessing that was Gavin, that put that in there.
• 56:54
  Yeah, due to the Microsoft activation merger now being on,
• 57:00
  they've now turned on all the old COD servers.
• 57:03
  So Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops, Black Ops 2.
• 57:06
  All the really good ones when the game was actually decent on
• 57:10
  Xbox and PC. The PC ones have been found to
• 57:13
  be riddled with malware and taken down, but the Xbox Ones
• 57:16
  are safe and all's still up and running.
• 57:19
  Yeah, just now. I mean, I'm fucking playing
• 57:22
  those, like back in the day and you had fucking TWATS flying a
• 57:25
  bit invisible and vulnerable. Yeah, shooting you through
• 57:29
  walls. Yeah, fucking twats went on
• 57:32
  better today with their lives. Good time to play the Xbox
• 57:35
  versions though, because the PC ones have been taken down from
• 57:37
  malware, so it's very limited opportunity for anyone to use
• 57:40
  any sort of cheat on Xbox. Yeah, so, and by all accounts,
• 57:45
  the player player account for them is fucking really high.
• 57:49
  It's probably. Bigger than the Modern Warfare 2
• 57:51
  remake? What I'd seen, I mean, it's only
• 57:55
  you that plays that, so. Yeah, just me.
• 57:59
  So what? What?
• 58:00
  What have we missed this month? I mean, The Legend of Heroes
• 58:03
  trails into Reverie. What the fuck is that?
• 58:08
  Couldn't tell you. Nope.
• 58:10
  There's a lot of words here. Auction 3/2.
• 58:15
  I remember there was an Oxen 3 released.
• 58:18
  I can't tell you what it is, though.
• 58:20
  I tell you. I tell you it was on Xbox, which
• 58:23
  Oxen 3 Two has skipped. What the fuck?
• 58:29
  OK, not there. Mars.
• 58:30
  Miss. Miss Marie.
• 58:33
  What's the full title was at Atelier Atelier Murray, The
• 58:39
  Alchemist of Salberg remake. So this was previously released.
• 58:45
  This was existed. It existed previously and we
• 58:50
  haven't got a yeah, that that's it.
• 58:54
  I'm got either missing that the the next one on the list though
• 58:58
  is something that is kind of tickling my My test is a little
• 59:02
  bit exo primal. Yeah, this one looks really
• 59:05
  good, doesn't it? It just looks a bit of
• 59:06
  silliness. It's at the shooty shooty
• 59:08
  dinosaurs, yeah. Robots make suit shooting
• 59:12
  dinosaurs, silliness and it just looks awesomely fun and you know
• 59:16
  they they've been Dave, he's been playing a lot and he's been
• 59:20
  telling us how fucking good it is.
• 59:22
  It's almost like he's he's he's trying to trying to annoy.
• 59:27
  I mean. Is it first person?
• 59:30
  Because I'm thinking I struggle with not being able to see my
• 59:32
  legs. And if I'm a fucking T Rex as
• 59:34
  well, I'm not going to see my arms either.
• 59:35
  No, no. You're shooting the T Rex.
• 59:37
  You're on a Mac suit. All right.
• 59:39
  OK. Yeah, I'm sure I'm not the
• 59:41
  dinosaurs. No, no dinosaurs.
• 59:44
  Bad. I see.
• 59:46
  I'm not sure if I want to come play that now the third person
• 59:49
  though. Anyway, you can't make any worse
• 59:51
  for them, mate. Well, look.
• 59:54
  But yeah, not by by all accounts that that.
• 59:56
  I mean, it's reviewed. Well, it looks, it looks really
• 59:58
  fun. Mileage may vary, I guess.
• 1:00:01
  But yeah, I'm looking forward to jumping on that at some point.
• 1:00:05
  I mean, I might, just might just play it because, you know, it's
• 1:00:07
  free. So maybe next on the list,
• 1:00:13
  Pickman 4. I saw an ad vote for that the
• 1:00:16
  other day and I was like, oh fuck, that's sort of thing.
• 1:00:18
  Never played Pickman. It was looks like a family fun.
• 1:00:22
  Type thing, Yeah, I would play, but yeah, never played it.
• 1:00:25
  But I remember it being because there wasn't like there was ones
• 1:00:28
  on the Sony PSP that was similar to cute little things that you
• 1:00:34
  collect and they do stuff for you that.
• 1:00:37
  Sounds a bit right I I think. What was the I can't remember,
• 1:00:43
  there was a tiny can. Was there something similar to
• 1:00:46
  that? Yeah, it was along those lines.
• 1:00:50
  I remember it being like feet based as well.
• 1:00:52
  They made the drumming sound, didn't they, when they were
• 1:00:55
  walking around my mind. Ohh fuck it.
• 1:00:57
  We're not playing it anyway, yeah.
• 1:01:00
  And there's there's a certainly a, a a Switch.
• 1:01:07
  Yeah, we've not got much Switch representation on the podcast,
• 1:01:10
  Shall we say. I have one.
• 1:01:14
  I just don't like fucking play that.
• 1:01:15
  Yeah, shit. Well, I wish we got Remnant 2
• 1:01:20
  that came out a few days ago. I think the first one was on
• 1:01:24
  Game Pass. Is the second one.
• 1:01:25
  Don't think so. Don't know.
• 1:01:27
  Not really bothered because I don't think I like the first
• 1:01:29
  one. Yeah, I was like try to be kind
• 1:01:32
  of souls esque, but with guns and just soulsy doesn't do it
• 1:01:36
  for me. The Expanse, Telltale Telltale
• 1:01:39
  are back with The Expanse, but it's not really Telltale.
• 1:01:42
  It's New Telltale. Yeah, well, we were talking
• 1:01:45
  about this off air, why don't we?
• 1:01:46
  It's like that Telltale are technically back, but not back
• 1:01:50
  because they're different. It's the same, but different.
• 1:01:53
  And they've got half their back catalogs now because they've
• 1:01:57
  obviously lost the license for The Walking Dead.
• 1:02:00
  By all accounts, so the expanses are decent TV show, so they
• 1:02:04
  translate well in their game. Don't know.
• 1:02:08
  I know that they've also got the Warp amongst us too in the
• 1:02:11
  pipeline as well. That was a enjoyable palate
• 1:02:13
  cleanser back in the day. Yes, I have that.
• 1:02:19
  Can I speak? I have that in my library and
• 1:02:21
  never booted up. It's yeah, I've, I've got a lot
• 1:02:25
  of the Telltale stuff, which I think I played through Batman a
• 1:02:29
  few months back, with the idea being that I'll go into the next
• 1:02:34
  Batman and then. Maybe play some of the Telltale
• 1:02:37
  stuff, but never really bothered my hours after that.
• 1:02:41
  Yeah, that's why I ditched it all last month.
• 1:02:43
  And the the final game that we've missed.
• 1:02:46
  I mean, there's probably others, but I mean I I'd seen this and
• 1:02:50
  it just kind of said sigh to me And Disney's Illusion Island on
• 1:02:54
  the Switch I. Haven't been right at your
• 1:02:57
  alley, mate, you'd say. You'd say that.
• 1:02:59
  I haven't got a fucking clue what that is.
• 1:03:02
  It's the ideal thing to get you out of your funk.
• 1:03:05
  Yeah. I mean, if you hadn't used your
• 1:03:07
  Joker and I those layer, you maybe would have been able to
• 1:03:09
  buy that and see what that was like.
• 1:03:11
  Use a Joker because it's fucking free.
• 1:03:13
  Oh no, that looks like a Disney Cuphead.
• 1:03:16
  Oh, wow. So it does.
• 1:03:18
  That may be all right. Oh, I don't know.
• 1:03:20
  It's a cross between Cuphead and, like Raymond Legends, isn't
• 1:03:23
  it? It might be OK.
• 1:03:24
  I don't think I'd rush out to buy it, though.
• 1:03:27
  I don't think you get Game Pass on the Switch, do you?
• 1:03:31
  Not yet. We'll see what happens.
• 1:03:33
  The way Microsoft are buying shit, you never know.
• 1:03:36
  I they're they're partnering a better way Nintendo these days.
• 1:03:39
  So although that purely is only on the Switch, so it's not even
• 1:03:44
  like it's on PC. Interestingly, yeah, I think
• 1:03:48
  it's aimed at the the little kids.
• 1:03:51
  Yeah, I'm sure, sure. My love the last for it for
• 1:03:53
  Christmas like all other shit ass for them.
• 1:03:56
  Doesn't they fucking play? You can switch in the
• 1:03:59
  ridiculously priced games that hold value.
• 1:04:01
  Bastards. Yeah.
• 1:04:03
  I mean, they are really like the games, like when the Switch was
• 1:04:06
  released the first time around, the games that were released
• 1:04:10
  there, like Mario Tennis and Mario Kart's probably a bad
• 1:04:14
  example because it's like a a game that everyone wants.
• 1:04:17
  But yeah, it's still the same process that you you don't pick
• 1:04:20
  up a Switch bargain, do you ever?
• 1:04:22
  No, especially like a Nintendo published game.
• 1:04:29
  Like we've managed to pick up the like say Sonic and streets
• 1:04:33
  of age for like sub sub £20.00 for them but or the the main
• 1:04:37
  shit like fucking last Christmas I was £45 for a copy Luigi's
• 1:04:41
  mansion three and what the fuck, it's been out for ages.
• 1:04:44
  We twats only played the first level that well then I saw the
• 1:04:49
  bargains. It's like when Pesco got rid of
• 1:04:51
  their switch range. Yeah, definitely take it for
• 1:04:54
  free. They're pretty much falling.
• 1:04:56
  It was like the games went for like a five or something stupid
• 1:04:59
  like that because because they wanted them off the shelves.
• 1:05:01
  But you have to be quick and you're you missed out and but
• 1:05:04
  you never see that in general normally.
• 1:05:07
  Yeah, I mean like, I say £45 for Luigi's mansion.
• 1:05:10
  I don't know how old that is. The kicker for me as he's he's,
• 1:05:18
  he watched a playthrough on YouTube.
• 1:05:20
  Like after owning the game, I'm like, what the fuck?
• 1:05:23
  Just play the fucking game. This is how much it's like this
• 1:05:26
  whole funk is like spreading this.
• 1:05:29
  Like, I've not looked at any. I mean I should be all over
• 1:05:33
  Starfield and desperate for that, but not.
• 1:05:35
  I'm looking at some screenshots like Immortals, and I'm
• 1:05:37
  thinking, no, that looks all right.
• 1:05:38
  And then I'm looking at some other screenshots and I'm
• 1:05:40
  thinking, no, no, fuck it, no, it's first person that's out
• 1:05:44
  Call of Duty with Magic. Magic and swords, man.
• 1:05:49
  It's in Unreal 5 so it's going to look fucking noise.
• 1:05:53
  Immense Rush. Cyber Funk that looks as bad.
• 1:05:56
  That looks a bit like a jet set radio fucking all those gate
• 1:06:00
  free. Have we gone back to like 1992?
• 1:06:04
  That's getting its proper release.
• 1:06:06
  It's been on airly access for a while.
• 1:06:09
  Atlas Fallen. Is that like a president?
• 1:06:12
  He's dead type thing. No, no, you get on Butler, it's
• 1:06:17
  Texas changed so much. I know what I'm expecting.
• 1:06:19
  The Armored Core 6 haven't I've been interested in Armored Core
• 1:06:26
  1/5. That's getting fucking We're
• 1:06:31
  talking content here, but that that's getting, like, fucking
• 1:06:34
  really good previews. The special edition looks nice.
• 1:06:40
  The fives are Rubicon. Premium Edition looks nice with
• 1:06:43
  the figurine in the garage. Only I hadn't used my Joker on
• 1:06:46
  Diablo. Yeah, but it's only £450.
• 1:06:52
  Jesus. I mean, when special editions
• 1:06:54
  used to be like 100, yeah, I mean, but you say that there's
• 1:06:58
  special differences. Used to be 100 and now it used
• 1:07:00
  to get you like a fucking night vision if people caught.
• 1:07:03
  Yeah ohh, you know like something like that and it's
• 1:07:05
  like. What do you statue or something?
• 1:07:08
  That's the thing though. It's like I'm I'm fucking
• 1:07:11
  devastated because it was a poor fucking student when Gear 1E3
• 1:07:14
  came out. Nothing.
• 1:07:16
  Or three. I was probably working then, but
• 1:07:18
  no exactly making big bucks. Like I've always wanted one of
• 1:07:24
  the fucking like replica Lancers that they sold with Gears but
• 1:07:28
  they're fucking expensive to just buy you now because
• 1:07:32
  obviously they came with the game so people have held on
• 1:07:36
  limit run. It's like you go on eBay £400.
• 1:07:38
  I'm like, so I'm hoping if they if they do Gears Six, they do a
• 1:07:42
  special edition with a Gears 6 Lancer and I'm all over that
• 1:07:46
  shit. I remember when I used to look
• 1:07:48
  at that and go, I'm not paying 100 notes for that.
• 1:07:50
  But my boy wants EA Football Club but he wants the Ultra
• 1:07:56
  edition so he gets like the early access and all of and I
• 1:07:59
  was looking through everything he gets and it's all fucking
• 1:08:02
  digital shit. I mean the one thing that is the
• 1:08:05
  saving grace to that is that you get like 5600 FIFA point where
• 1:08:08
  it's not FIFA points, EA points, which is probably about £30 and
• 1:08:13
  I'm like, well, I'm probably gonna spend that anyway in the
• 1:08:17
  first month once he starts playing fucking.
• 1:08:20
  I want my thing. Yeah, I might as well do it and
• 1:08:22
  then have seven days early access and get the extras for
• 1:08:24
  free as well. But yeah, it's fucking £100.00
• 1:08:26
  for like the special edition of which isn't anything special.
• 1:08:29
  It's not like a season pass. No, all of that shit.
• 1:08:34
  I I play FIFA every year sort of thing when it comes to Game Pass
• 1:08:40
  but I'd never spend any money on little fucking in game card
• 1:08:44
  packs. I did when they first started.
• 1:08:47
  I mean we spoke about this is like I did when they first
• 1:08:49
  started open my team when out my team was a DLC and it was it was
• 1:08:53
  nice it was different you know because it's like they'd never
• 1:08:56
  done anything like this where you collected your own team and
• 1:08:58
  built your own team. But yeah, it just bit back
• 1:09:01
  became FIFA. You you, I was gonna say, Well,
• 1:09:04
  you can't pick up some bargains, especially on Facebook
• 1:09:06
  Marketplace, because I've wanted the the Like Collectors edition
• 1:09:12
  of the Division Two when it came out.
• 1:09:16
  But because we were I was gaming, sharing with another
• 1:09:19
  mate. I didn't end up buying it and
• 1:09:22
  must have been searching for something to connect to The
• 1:09:25
  Division, but it came upon like a preempted suggestion on
• 1:09:29
  Facebook Marketplace and suddenly we sell nearby for
• 1:09:32
  £30.00 so even come with the unused DLC outfits and
• 1:09:38
  everything. So I've got the statue of my
• 1:09:41
  shoulder of the agent sending the flare up and the box in the
• 1:09:46
  corner, and I even put the extra cosmetics on my account and it
• 1:09:51
  worked fine. I do like Facebook Marketplace
• 1:09:54
  because people quite often don't know what they have.
• 1:09:57
  Yes, To be honest, I never even fucking gave Facebook
• 1:10:01
  Marketplace a thought for that shit I always credit for.
• 1:10:05
  I know this. Because there's people not
• 1:10:07
  knowing the value of stuff or you've got the angry X element
• 1:10:12
  where they're selling off Lamborghini for £20.
• 1:10:16
  Yeah ohh great. You you type in replica Lancer,
• 1:10:19
  Gears of War, Replica Lancer and what they're get?
• 1:10:24
  Mitsubishi Lancer. Mitsubishi Lancer parts only.
• 1:10:27
  Especially Lancer especially. One Gears Lancer.
• 1:10:30
  Oh, oh, there's one. Where the fuck's Harrow?
• 1:10:34
  That seems far away. How the UK mate £200 I'd I'd
• 1:10:39
  fucking pay £200 for it. To be fair.
• 1:10:41
  Does does that count as a purchase if I bought one of them
• 1:10:45
  it's games? Related, I mean, you know.
• 1:10:48
  The thing is, they've got their the gold one and like that looks
• 1:10:52
  fucking skanky and I've got to fucking keep an eye on that.
• 1:10:56
  So moving on, we'll do do an alert.
• 1:10:59
  Couple of questions before we move on to what we're going to
• 1:11:04
  miss next month. Got a question, another question
• 1:11:07
  from Dave. This is a question from this
• 1:11:10
  month and he's asking it's kind of visual question but you know
• 1:11:16
  go look at the Facebook group if you really want to see what a
• 1:11:18
  bottle of Buckfast looks like. Who could make it the fastest.
• 1:11:22
  And as 1/2 bottle of the well, it's not a Scottish drink
• 1:11:26
  because it's made by some monks down and.
• 1:11:29
  Buckfast, Abby. And yeah, who could make it the
• 1:11:33
  fastest? I mean, Gavin's the the group
• 1:11:36
  alcoholic, so. I would like to claim that, but
• 1:11:39
  I, I I know I'm not your Igloss. I struggled with the Vault City
• 1:11:45
  Buckfast, and I really like Vault City.
• 1:11:49
  I I don't think I could mate. I mean, I can't stand this
• 1:11:53
  stuff. I mean.
• 1:11:56
  Is it a case can we can we nominate champions to date for
• 1:11:59
  us? Oh definitely at all.
• 1:12:02
  Obviously if I could felt better.
• 1:12:04
  He he loves his stuff. My mate Dave he but I mean I
• 1:12:09
  don't know if he loves his stuff but he fucking drinks enough it
• 1:12:12
  and so much so that it was actually my stag do.
• 1:12:17
  We were going out just sort of luckily and.
• 1:12:22
  Dave being Dave, he had the bottle of Buckfast on his way to
• 1:12:25
  catch the train, which he necked.
• 1:12:29
  This wasn't a half bottle. He basically necked a full
• 1:12:31
  bottle of Buckfast before missing the train and then
• 1:12:34
  getting a bus. And he didn't make it past the
• 1:12:37
  first pub. He was outside throwing up on
• 1:12:41
  one of the bouncers' cars. That's that's the person's car
• 1:12:45
  you want to be spewing on. That yeah, we we escorted them
• 1:12:50
  back back to the train, made sure he got home, text these
• 1:12:54
  misses, and yeah, by 10:30 he was tucked up in bed.
• 1:12:59
  If you're having champions, and surely that's a Mlgx 2023 event,
• 1:13:04
  that could happen. I think, yeah.
• 1:13:07
  I mean, I know Dave Dave's going to be there.
• 1:13:10
  Phil was going to be there. I'm touching the stuff I want.
• 1:13:14
  To can't be decided on the night, I reckon.
• 1:13:18
  Either that way, I'll just get get a bottle on stream and go
• 1:13:20
  for it, and what I'll do is I'll put it first and replace it with
• 1:13:24
  Ibena. Because I've been a.
• 1:13:26
  Fucking awful. Hey, we have we'll do another
• 1:13:31
  couple of questions. Sure.
• 1:13:33
  Mr. Ladamsky, coming in with a question.
• 1:13:36
  If you could dive into a swimming pool filled with
• 1:13:38
  anything, what would you fill it with?
• 1:13:40
  One not buck fast, Two probably fucking cash.
• 1:13:44
  Yeah, but that'd be hard. What are you talking, paper
• 1:13:48
  money? Yeah, paper money.
• 1:13:51
  No, I'm most fucking Scrooge Mcduck.
• 1:13:52
  I'm not jumping any fucking gold coins, but.
• 1:13:55
  Well, my first reaction would be beer, but my second actually
• 1:13:58
  would probably be along lines of Scrooge Mcduck.
• 1:14:03
  I thought you got to jump into it how high it was.
• 1:14:06
  I mean. I think there was a follow up
• 1:14:09
  asking how high was the dive and I don't think it was stipulated.
• 1:14:13
  So you're doing a very, a very, a very short dive into a lot of
• 1:14:17
  fucking money. Yeah, I think that's pretty much
• 1:14:20
  the general consensus. David Southall was asked which
• 1:14:24
  embarrassing game was genre. Do you love to play?
• 1:14:26
  I am an ashamed lover of horse racing games, Dave says today.
• 1:14:30
  I've been mostly playing Frankie Dittori Racing on the PS2
• 1:14:34
  hashtag No Shame #banger. That's that.
• 1:14:38
  That's. Potentially going to be a
• 1:14:39
  difficult one because a game that you might like, other
• 1:14:44
  people might think it's embarrassing, but everyone's got
• 1:14:47
  their own sort of interests, something.
• 1:14:49
  I mean, I I tend to play probably more than healthy, the
• 1:14:55
  dual game on the Xbox app. Yeah, but that gives you money.
• 1:15:02
  I get you to one point. Yeah, but I play more than one
• 1:15:05
  level that that's fine, that's. Fine.
• 1:15:09
  Ether that or or A couple of months back I found my What's
• 1:15:13
  up? My daughter asked me to Do you?
• 1:15:16
  Know this is going to be good. My daughter.
• 1:15:18
  My daughter, yeah. Yeah, she was playing the the
• 1:15:21
  Yokulele game that she'd got off.
• 1:15:25
  I think it was Games With Gold or something like that, and she
• 1:15:31
  was stuck in the one part. So she she asked me to do this
• 1:15:34
  one AVL for her. I was trying to do it.
• 1:15:37
  She lost interest. She walked away. 30 minutes
• 1:15:39
  later, I'm still sat there playing it.
• 1:15:41
  Actually all these fucking kid shows and stuff though in it.
• 1:15:44
  So they come down put fucking, but I don't know Blue or
• 1:15:47
  something, but I mean Blue is a fucking banger of a show.
• 1:15:52
  I am. I am not ashamed to admit that I
• 1:15:55
  would happily sit and watch Blue without the fucking kids being
• 1:15:58
  around. Yeah, that that kind of thing
• 1:16:01
  really. Come in and put some shit on,
• 1:16:02
  then fuck off and it's yeah, like, like you say 30 minutes
• 1:16:06
  later you're like, where? Where are the children?
• 1:16:08
  Why are we three episodes in? Well, I need to find out what
• 1:16:12
  happens next. Where do you say you're really
• 1:16:15
  quiet on this? I'm just trying to think.
• 1:16:17
  I mean, obviously I like fucking.
• 1:16:19
  Make it I like Disney Dream, like Valley, just like just
• 1:16:24
  filling out, because it's such a relaxing game.
• 1:16:28
  That's there's no like stress or there's no real story.
• 1:16:31
  There's no real fucking anything about it.
• 1:16:33
  Thinking about it, why do I like it?
• 1:16:36
  But I do remember that. I don't remember Frankie
• 1:16:38
  Tutorial Racing, but I remember G1 Jockey on the PS1 or the PS2.
• 1:16:44
  I remember enjoying that as well.
• 1:16:45
  So I can understand where he's coming from with the horse
• 1:16:47
  racing games. But yeah, it's like a game or
• 1:16:50
  genre to play, obviously like Disney would be what everyone
• 1:16:55
  would say is embarrassing, but I don't really think there is
• 1:16:57
  anything else not this. Some Disney games were fucking
• 1:17:00
  bangers quite short. I mean, if it's if it's
• 1:17:03
  embarrassing from being seen playing at point of view, any
• 1:17:07
  Guitar Hero game was gonna be up there, isn't it?
• 1:17:09
  Because the I see, I always thought Guitar Hero a party.
• 1:17:14
  Atmosphere was always golden. Yeah, but what you think you
• 1:17:17
  actually look like playing it, or what you actually look like
• 1:17:20
  playing it, do. They're two different things,
• 1:17:21
  aren't they? Get gets washed when you see
• 1:17:23
  some of the recordings that connect just to keep.
• 1:17:26
  Yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm just trying to hear a quick flick
• 1:17:31
  through Dave's achievement list here to see if he's actually
• 1:17:34
  played Barbie Horsey Adventure. So I think I think that's good
• 1:17:38
  to be up there. What was the one the way for
• 1:17:40
  your friends? It was saying with friends.
• 1:17:41
  It was on Steam. It was all fucking knobs and
• 1:17:45
  connecting people. We we could check, but you're
• 1:17:48
  kidding. Your Steam list, so it's hard to
• 1:17:50
  say. I remember being gifted it by
• 1:17:53
  God Todd at some. Was that your gift for this, you
• 1:17:56
  mate? No, that was fucking idiot.
• 1:17:59
  Mount your friends. You don't want your wife walking
• 1:18:01
  in. You playing that one?
• 1:18:03
  That I can confirm that unless they've played it on another
• 1:18:07
  another device he's not played Barbie Horse Adventure on Xbox.
• 1:18:11
  So we'll let that sleep. I mean I think, but my sort of
• 1:18:16
  my answers have got to be late. Is it our genre like these?
• 1:18:21
  Cheap and nasty fucking games that get pumped through.
• 1:18:24
  They're just pure gamer score fucking creators.
• 1:18:28
  So I've I've got the like say castling way, scape one and two
• 1:18:31
  on my my my played list and they're pretty much like 50
• 1:18:36
  pence. Put them on for 10 minutes and
• 1:18:38
  you get like 5000 gamer score out of them.
• 1:18:42
  Not that I'd use anything like that to to boost my scores.
• 1:18:45
  Never. Because numbers mean nothing.
• 1:18:50
  Not this month. Anywhere else?
• 1:18:52
  No, I do actually have Castle and No Escape One and Two.
• 1:18:54
  Still we finish off because they already done another like 4000
• 1:18:57
  points across both the games. So you know, I think the general
• 1:19:00
  opinion on this one though, Dave, is that if the you're
• 1:19:03
  enjoying it, there's no. Never shame, never shame.
• 1:19:07
  On the same place, the games. And that brings us to the end of
• 1:19:10
  another episode. We just have some domestics that
• 1:19:14
  nobody will fucking listen to. They'll probably just stop
• 1:19:16
  listening. But.
• 1:19:18
  Yeah, we're available on all the usual podcast services.
• 1:19:21
  You know what they are. And there's the Facebook group,
• 1:19:24
  the Youtubes, the I don't know why we've still got the
• 1:19:27
  midlifegamer.net in here. No clue, because that just
• 1:19:30
  redirects the Facebook. There's the Discord and there is
• 1:19:34
  the year of shame@gmail.com if you want to send anything.
• 1:19:38
  And I think you know, as a little task, someone should send
• 1:19:42
  something just to see if it gets picked up.
• 1:19:45
  Send anything, Anything you want.
• 1:19:48
  But yeah, that's it from us. So I'm going to say bye, Gavin.
• 1:19:53
  Sigh. Bye.
• 1:19:54
  Bye guys. Bye.
• 1:20:15
  Well, this is the end. We hope you enjoyed.
• 1:20:17
  The show and if you didn't, tough titties.
