- 0:38Hello special guest and talking about special guest.
- 0:43I should probably warn you. It's a fellow black country lad.
- 0:46So if any of you have difficulty understanding YouTube won't be
- 0:51able to sort the subtitles out for you wonderful Stewart,
- 0:55whiteout Intro the things to, I'm a bit worried because, you
- 1:05know, when you when you go home or you talk to your mom or you
- 1:08talk to, you know, locals and so on, you know, when two black
- 1:12country people get together, they get far worse.
- 1:15They're actually, you know where I'm like--with accents and stuff
- 1:18like that. I do, I can't go with it.
- 1:20So hopefully, my exit isn't that hard core?
- 1:23I don't think it is but you need to talk.
- 1:25That's not for me to judge tonight.
- 1:26Now, I've said all that. Do do Neal and Matt understood
- 1:29exactly what. We just said, then yes, I need
- 1:31to get it like I excuse me. I lived in brightly Hill and
- 1:35Dudley for three years. I get it.
- 1:38I got a constant. Sorry I can't speak it but I get
- 1:41it of course, fake it Kanye. No, no, just just saying that
- 1:50does YouTube try and translate into closed?
- 1:52Captions. Does it try and do that?
- 1:54I mean, I don't you just try? Yeah.
- 1:56Yeah. Charlie it's gonna be
- 1:59absolutely. Wasn't it?
- 2:00It's gonna be terrible. Oh no.
- 2:03It's got a failed first off. Do you.
- 2:04How are you doing the mate? You're right?
- 2:06Oh, well good. I had a bit of covid with first
- 2:10time I've ever had it. So I thought vincible, I thought
- 2:12I was that, you know, in Last of Us, you know, the eliyahu got
- 2:16the, you know, the Cure and everybody's going to probably
- 2:22the only person on this podcast that hasn't finished.
- 2:25That's not a spoiler actually, that is a part of the yeah, it's
- 2:28of in the first first, first one.
- 2:29Five minutes, Dave, you're okay. Anyway, so, but I'm not special
- 2:33anymore. I'm like just normal people.
- 2:35Did you think you would like the cause of covid?
- 2:37Like you? Hey, everybody else.
- 2:38Now, the funny thing is, I always thought it was just like
- 2:40a bad cold but when carried all kicked off, I had a really bad
- 2:44cold because there was that all the hype and everybody was
- 2:47scared and all that long, I ended up having to chest
- 2:50infection but I thought I was actually dying and even some to
- 2:53my wife going, right? Then all the all the all the
- 2:56bank stuff. Just make sure you transfer it
- 2:58in all that you do. And you need to learn all that.
- 3:00And then the next day it was also thought the doctor would
- 3:02have some of this and I do better now.
- 3:04Okay. Cool.
- 3:06Have some Vic's for you. That's it.
- 3:10Good. See I have had like, Victor
- 3:15couldn't fix. I don't know if you spoke about
- 3:17this before, but has anybody heard about putting fix on your
- 3:19feet for a cough? I've currently got on.
- 3:21Yes. No, yep.
- 3:23Yes. I need faith.
- 3:24And then put a sock on. Go to bed.
- 3:26Wake up. Fine.
- 3:27Let's go cable know this story a very, very close.
- 3:29As friend who sadly passed away, but he put Vicks VapoRub on his
- 3:33cock, just to see what it felt like, I'm but it felt like a
- 3:37fucking murder. So, yeah, that's not why he
- 3:42passed away. But anyway, move on from that.
- 3:46So I think that's really, that's really good segment in time to
- 3:49pause and see if we could just pull a fellow into the school
- 3:51shower. Yeah, somebody who's not yet
- 3:53dead but probably should be punch it.
- 3:56And also joining us as always, it's mr.
- 3:59Joe Cooper. How are you Joe?
- 4:01It looks so cute. Look at him.
- 4:04Ah, that's George's. Don't.
- 4:07So just as you were walking in we were discussing the fact that
- 4:09at least at the time at the for was a four of us over here we
- 4:13shouldn't have a problem with insane bro.
- 4:16Me speak and lingo. So how are you going to do with
- 4:19the boy me talk, I'll be I'll be good.
- 4:20We've been listening to a lot of Burmese.
- 4:24There's obviously like the Gateway bro me now.
- 4:26The bathroom's Frank Skinner just the carrier gas per carat.
- 4:32I'll see all the classics. Let me have my bit for me.
- 4:41He's don't know. It's amazing.
- 4:43He's in your head to be called the brother anyway, right?
- 4:52So Stu, hello, what are you? Give us a little bit of
- 4:55background. Ground into your gaming Journey.
- 4:59Where did you begin? Wow, I began in your mother's
- 5:06womb. Sorry I had that I did.
- 5:08Yes I can't deny that. That did happen.
- 5:12Right? When did Commodore pet comment?
- 5:18Was that so I don't know. 75 So anyway, my dad used to work for
- 5:25a company and it was quiet, so he could just take shit home
- 5:29from work. So he could take care of this a
- 5:31TBM pet and it was I so green screen, lovely key.
- 5:35Well, you know what? CBN pet looks like classic
- 5:371970s. Gray key.
- 5:39Great PC. Fantastic.
- 5:41And the game I used to play on their my very first game I
- 5:43really got really into what's called Siege.
- 5:46It was simply allowing at the top and there's a guy with the
- 5:51before words /e backs Choose the hands and I would his head
- 5:55throwing bricks down this wall to stop people from flying a
- 5:58topic so that was my very first introduction in that sense.
- 6:02Then got Atari 2600. Well, my dad bought it and then
- 6:06we had it for about eight months and then one Christmas again
- 6:09with me and I started crying because I thought it was the
- 6:11best present in the world and he realizes because and yeah.
- 6:15And then when you realize you're going free from work.
- 6:17No, no, no, no. I'm joking.
- 6:21Oh yeah. And then my first computer was a
- 6:38victory. Loved my vic-20.
- 6:40So much Betty. Happy hours.
- 6:43Just played rubbish games. I can't even remember the games
- 6:45or the other. There was like, simplistic.
- 6:47I was like, oh no dice rolling or get poker or not poker but
- 6:53you know, Just like, very simplistic goes well because
- 6:55it's a kind of shade and then that was computer there.
- 7:00Oh, well, I was stranded do, this is probably where David
- 7:02outcomes into it down because it's not because he did got me
- 7:05I'm strategist and this is what I do Dave around about this
- 7:07time. So got 6128, it was awesome disk
- 7:11drive color. It was amazing machine, got it s
- 7:14really good price as well and many games silkworm was a
- 7:18classical. We had David bought it and I
- 7:19bought it, Barry give. And then six hours later.
- 7:23Pleated. It it just the process special,
- 7:26the space bar as well, but that, yeah, it really was the spacebar
- 7:30on his. Yeah, we smashed it.
- 7:34We really did it way. I never, I never, I never got
- 7:37two spectrums or anything like that, and I never got into
- 7:39migas, but I was definitely in the St Camp.
- 7:41So, I'm sorry, everybody of offended League cocks.
- 7:45You can do one and Company Nestea.
- 7:49And, yeah. Well, the thing is though, the
- 7:51ST1 is like, to be fair At the time of you, staying around with
- 7:56Dave, a lot friend of ours mat and a few others, we all had
- 7:59Estes and it was just like it was all our friends had the, you
- 8:02know, I didn't really know anybody had an Amiga until we
- 8:04until later, but we all identities and that's a we had a
- 8:07couple of mates who really Deluxe paint till I die.
- 8:20We had a cup of might so used to code on there and we just
- 8:22thought the rice Us. And we just used to stay up all
- 8:25night while they work. Only remember, Trevor, and he's
- 8:27a, it's a game. Yeah, and all that stuff to get
- 8:30to work for rare. Yeah I did.
- 8:33Yeah. So and then after all that I got
- 8:38a PS1 loved it played a shit ton of Tekken to wipe out. 26 now
- 8:4529600? Oh God.
- 8:47And what else? I mean those were due to the to
- 8:50my games. He's bio Ridge Racer and all
- 8:51that. Kinds of crap machines.
- 8:53Yeah, Micro Machines, sorry. Yeah, triangle.
- 8:57I also had it shipped as well. So we ended up having all the
- 8:59games in the world and got really bored because you had
- 9:01everything. So therefore you never played
- 9:03anything. And then after that, I don't
- 9:06know. I just stopped play, PS2 era,
- 9:09just flew by nothing about Xbox. I don't know what it was.
- 9:13I would have known. I would say oh it was girls but
- 9:16it really wasn't. It's just like a Just just wrote
- 9:20some reason it went by, but then I got back into it, a friend of
- 9:23mine bought a PS3 know. They had it for a couple of
- 9:27years, but went down the house and they showed me Mass Effect
- 9:302. And I did write remember my
- 9:33context of gaming before was on a PS1.
- 9:36So it was very, you know, it's like very gay but it's like
- 9:39Tekken, it's just fighting or racing or, you know, they're
- 9:42very, you're not like complex games.
- 9:43Is no real story, you just like getting from A to B, not going
- 9:46to know. But that was the first game I
- 9:48ever saw a witch. Actually, I couldn't believe
- 9:50what I was seeing and like the movie quality of it all.
- 9:54Now, now, looking back on it, I over was paid on Playstation,
- 9:56but I know that that was probably the worst version at
- 9:58that time, because it originally came on Xbox and it was really
- 10:01more made for the Xbox. And so, he was a bad Port but I
- 10:04didn't know at the time and I just absolutely loved it for
- 10:07what it was. So and that's where my game in
- 10:12other no love for story, based games really came from.
- 10:15So, from there really soon, Did you not get a personal computer
- 10:23any point? So you used to just I don't
- 10:24know. I don't work PCS mate.
- 10:26I don't want anything to do with them.
- 10:27They can burn to the fucking ground for malarkey.
- 10:29I just go. Well, it can't stand it.
- 10:32Honestly. I think the honestly you're
- 10:35holding back now, it's my job and I've got, I've got gaming
- 10:38laptop and it's a good one. And, you know, it's, I don't
- 10:40play anything on it. Can't be ours.
- 10:42I just want the console Master race.
- 10:44You just hiding it now. No, no no, no.
- 10:46It's just I've just I have the ability to make Make rig and
- 10:50it'd be a good rig. And I just cannot be asked with
- 10:52all the Piston about with drivers and then updating it
- 10:56every other week because all you don't have the latest graphics
- 10:58card. I don't care, you know, so all I
- 11:01want to do get a game on and play, that's all I care about
- 11:04enjoy myself. Luckily, I've got a great bunch
- 11:07of mates as well. We will play online with when I
- 11:08want to play online. And then when I want to play my
- 11:10story games and all that kind of stuff, I've got that as well.
- 11:13So it's it's nice. You know what, I've got a PC for
- 11:16change the setting to pretend you're offline, so you can play
- 11:18on your own Leave me alone. Oh well, it's been sometimes if
- 11:21you don't want to be disturbed it's a good one.
- 11:23Actually I never loads of people that do that the loads of people
- 11:26that put the settings to offline.
- 11:27Yeah. Just for a private, I was like,
- 11:29oh, how pestered are you? That's horrible.
- 11:33That's, that's a good. That's a great history.
- 11:36I think I've managed to get quite a few times that my recall
- 11:39memory of, of anything prior to three years ago is distant and
- 11:43hard. But well done for pulling all
- 11:45that together to do because I see it is difficult to reach
- 11:48that far. Back about something that you're
- 11:50passionate about and have something that's kind of shaped
- 11:52your life and what have you but that well done mate.
- 11:55No, I don't get much. It's so weird.
- 11:58Do you find like, do you find yourself dabbling in the Retro
- 12:01like you having such a like great passion and introduction?
- 12:06Do you find yourself? Darling, you do that stuff now,
- 12:08not really no, because I've never really been into platform.
- 12:12I think that's probably why I may have dropped off after the
- 12:15PS1 because a lot of games back then, because there was
- 12:19Experiments me 3D and I wasn't into Platformers.
- 12:22I just, I'm still not, I just don't really like them and
- 12:25things like that, so they'll be like the classic games, like
- 12:27jousted, you know, laughs, but you know, those quick little
- 12:30party, hit games, you know, where you can play in a little
- 12:33group and act. So you know, the coop and all
- 12:34the stuff, but I do, I couldn't sit there and just play Jalisco
- 12:39scheme. It's fool, you know, for two
- 12:41hours away but I don't need to keep working on this.
- 12:50It's not only want new games, I ain't read by am not bothered
- 12:54whether it's new or not, you know.
- 12:56It's just I know the kind of genres I do like and to be fair
- 13:00I've always been valid platforms, especially a
- 13:03ballbusting Platformers like Super Meat, Boy, and all that
- 13:06rubbish. He says no no no no no, no,
- 13:08that's not what's got interested but that's series it like when
- 13:11you started we should have mentioned this way earlier on,
- 13:15by the way. But of course, so that for those
- 13:17who don't know, shit the year, Eight.
- 13:20Yeah, and still within that. You did.
- 13:25She co-hosts Puppeteer on the PS3?
- 13:29Yeah. Yeah.
- 13:30No, that guy blew my mind that it watching the game.
- 13:34It looks easy. It's amazing.
- 13:36The way. If you read the history of that
- 13:39as well. 40, Studio Japan now there's plenty Sonia.
- 13:41Closed it for some bizarre reason, but you're either
- 13:44history in that and the development of it was just
- 13:47incredible. They do.
- 13:49The developers who worked on it with just 80 a but they got no
- 13:52recognition from anybody. It was a game which completely
- 13:55went under the radar. So and I never had it for a long
- 13:58time and I really liked it, but never completed it and I
- 14:01thought, well, you a shame. I mean that I might as well put
- 14:03that on my list and sort that out.
- 14:05So, but yeah, well actually, I think I managed to tick off
- 14:09quite a few games or on the, when I was on there.
- 14:11So well that that's that leads into the next questions.
- 14:14Really first one would be, how did you get involved with?
- 14:19The midlife gamer Community. Well the community just in
- 14:24general. Yeah.
- 14:25Oh okay so you slipped into your shame right I went to an MLG
- 14:34meet up at the NEC when ejects was at the NEC.
- 14:39When was that 2017? Was it 16?
- 14:43Thank you there. Dave, the first time I went
- 14:45yeah, well, it was 17 TIE fighter and everything.
- 14:49Yeah. Yeah, that's it.
- 14:50And to be fair, I didn't really know about the community, but
- 14:52like Dave knew some guys in there.
- 14:55So I I came along to that, and then I met for you guys and
- 14:57everybody's just ridiculously friendly.
- 14:59Everyone is just relaxed in the best thing, friendly.
- 15:02He's everybody. Everybody to get touched up,
- 15:04sleep, did you get to the part I liked it especially when you
- 15:08did. It was looking at what I liked
- 15:11about it, they always help you going to, you going to the Expo
- 15:16and it's all just loud Baba. Isn't it just that was queuing
- 15:20for hours and just lots of kids running around and you go to
- 15:23the. Is it narrator in the pub in the
- 15:25NEC? Uh, yeah.
- 15:27And you go there and there's just loads of people your age,
- 15:29just having a really nice chat and just having a laugh and just
- 15:32being nice. So that's what was my first
- 15:36introduction into MLG. The, Why Us stuff.
- 15:40And that was a few years later, the ois stuff, but that I don't
- 15:44know, a call went out. That was it.
- 15:45Steve at a coat? Was it?
- 15:47And yes. Who else?
- 15:49Is it Toby? And yes, His Name Escapes me.
- 15:56Anyway, they were coming to the end and I'll be literature for
- 15:58Richard food, of course, of course.
- 16:03So, they were coming to the end and then they just put a call
- 16:05out like what you guys didn't, you know, recently.
- 16:08And so I just answered, and then it was really weird.
- 16:11Actually, I'm, I'm not normally a sort of social proposal but
- 16:16I'm not, you know, it's very rare.
- 16:19Rare for me to go out my song, my comfort zone.
- 16:21You know, I know the group of people in there, so when I did
- 16:23the iOS to be fair, The only person on new and only new
- 16:28Packer through MLG because he was asking a recommendations for
- 16:34psvr games and I sent him one. And then, and that's how we'll
- 16:38get to know him. And then they Richard James and
- 16:41Dwyane, I'd may have paid with them a couple of times in
- 16:44Destiny and things. I have heard didn't really know
- 16:46them, so that was like a big. Oh, so it's like completely
- 16:50thrown thrown into new things which are completely out of my
- 16:53comfort zone. But then, yeah, we ended up
- 16:55getting really good friends and you know, history, you know, and
- 16:58all that history. So but that's all gone.
- 17:00Is it? The call went out and I just
- 17:01went. Yeah, why not?
- 17:02I can do that and I've got really easy.
- 17:07I have to say that your year is probably my particular favorite
- 17:14of it was just like spectacular. It was, you know what, though?
- 17:19They all of a sudden our roles, but there was not, there was two
- 17:22people who were like, I think they were, there were the fish
- 17:26on the hook for everybody was like, Packer enriched and they
- 17:28wear their chemistry, you can soften and Clement today, the,
- 17:31he was such a game of sport, he was just ribbed constantly, you
- 17:34know, we did like package challenged.
- 17:36You know, so you know because yeah, it's just so completely
- 17:41over the time I got even that but no it was out tonight.
- 17:43We just sort of made into Cutting out a fun thing I've
- 17:47explained before, I'm even, I've enjoyed that, I trust me.
- 17:49I've listened to them all which will probably get into in a bit
- 17:52but like, you know, it was just I've done a bit different to
- 17:54what it normally was. So it was more of a previously.
- 17:57It's been about the Challenger now hard, the challenge is and
- 18:00yeah, the trouble and strife, where I think you guys turned it
- 18:04on its head, and actually made it about making friends and
- 18:09having fun. Yeah.
- 18:10Yeah. That's it.
- 18:10And make it round a bit of a competition of it as well, you
- 18:13know? So we did the challenge week.
- 18:14We talked about the games and whatever, but Then to be fair,
- 18:16that was probably 10% of the show.
- 18:19Hmm. Then the rest is like that.
- 18:20How can we stitch Dave or pork? We do with this and there was
- 18:23going to do with that. So now it was yeah I hear it's
- 18:26how can we switch Dave off? Be good.
- 18:47I think that's worth mentioning at this point is, of course,
- 18:51stew is also our custodian. He's the keeper of year if shame
- 18:57effectively so easy zuman. Yes, I'm assuming he's the
- 19:04keymaster it's die. Even it these colleagues already
- 19:12said, yes. So Stu did absolutely colossal
- 19:19amount of work, he got together, contacted everyone from previous
- 19:24year's ashamed, got every episode together, put collated
- 19:27them all onto YouTube and so on put them all on to the various
- 19:31streaming services. So that's how you can all access
- 19:35them now. So yeah.
- 19:37Big round of applause for sure because a bicycle without him.
- 19:46I enjoy the other. Now I'm a, I'm a, I'm a ticket,
- 19:50the end of the day and I just really liked it.
- 19:52I actually like the challenge of trying to find these old
- 19:55episodes because someone, they just not some of them I could
- 19:59get from Source others, I had to find on the internet and stream
- 20:02them and record them and then remaster them which was mad.
- 20:06So to sit there and like, do all that comes up, the others couple
- 20:09of Seasons I've got, which we can see on there, but it was a
- 20:11Viewmaster. Yeah, it was absolutely garbage.
- 20:14Yeah, but everybody else. Spoke to, you know, they were
- 20:16all like you know happy got all y'all got the file so you can
- 20:19have all these on that. So all it's in there.
- 20:20So yeah, so every single episode every single year where it's
- 20:24only, it's all on there, so it's all good.
- 20:26I've just enjoyed it. And now it's just a it's a
- 20:29really easy job. Now is just to go over.
- 20:30You guys, give me the file. I've prep it.
- 20:32Upload, it done, very little for me to do and I quite liked it
- 20:36so, well, these issue your, you saw pioneered and spearheaded
- 20:41and your year was well into this the Twitchy and streaming year
- 20:44as well. And you guys with the the
- 20:47lockbox now that's like a big a big kennet part of that podcast
- 20:52that how was that all was was like podcasting at all that new
- 20:55and you just get to know what, you know what?
- 20:57That's all you've never done podcasting.
- 20:59I've never done streaming until we did, you know, at y 0 S and
- 21:02it was just like, it's like anything, you know, when you
- 21:04start out and you don't really care because you don't know what
- 21:07you're doing but you're excited about working things out.
- 21:10So you make a ton of mistakes but you don't care.
- 21:12It's only when you get further on in you do stuff now and it's
- 21:15okay. And do it like that.
- 21:16Now, which is showing because now that's a No-No because it's
- 21:19actually sounds like me. It's like that, not knowing
- 21:25stuff as well. It's a brilliant, you know,
- 21:27still exciting. And I remembered we did the live
- 21:29show, the Christmas one, that was a complete.
- 21:31And utter if I had no idea, I was doing Ed a twitch stream
- 21:34going to YouTube channel, go in and this going.
- 21:37We were recording it and then we'll go into a game after it
- 21:39and it all works. Somehow, I've no idea did, but
- 21:42that was all completely seated pants, kind of stuff.
- 21:46Earth. I don't you just eat.
- 21:47I did a bit. It has a little bit different as
- 21:49well because we knew we were why is always had a twitch Channel
- 21:53and a YouTube channel but it was never used.
- 21:55So we just thought well why not? We might as well do it.
- 21:58So we thank all our consoles up to it.
- 22:00And so in time we did this, when we just stream than that and
- 22:03then I got into OBS and so I love that as well.
- 22:05And do you still not so on and stuff?
- 22:08So, yeah, it was really enjoyable to be fair.
- 22:10I learnt a lot of stuff for you is as well, so if it wasn't for
- 22:13a while, yes, I want to be doing log.
- 22:15Box stuff. So you know so it started there.
- 22:19I'll do the similar thing for this year.
- 22:21I'm done nearly as much streaming as you like, but yeah,
- 22:24I really enjoyed like learning how to like a made the jingles
- 22:28and learning to stream learning our OBS.
- 22:32Works. You know.
- 22:33We've done it with a few like the movie nights and things like
- 22:36that. Yeah, that was brilliant laughs.
- 22:37Yeah, they could. What game did the one stream?
- 22:42I did love that. It.
- 22:44Did you ever see the pt.1? I did.
- 22:46Yeah, it was honestly I'm I'm terrible at Oregon's, I'm
- 22:50rubbish. I'm rubbish at horror and I'm
- 22:52rubbish at horror games, don't do it.
- 22:54So I was in this room that I'm in now which obviously the
- 22:56listeners can't see, but had all the lights off and model, it
- 23:00will hold up as well. Trying to play this game and
- 23:02there's this one scene. He just joined a lead.
- 23:04Literally shit my pants. He was brilliant.
- 23:09That was that was on my list because I got PT that was the
- 23:11thing. You shouldn't even download it
- 23:12anymore, but I had it on my PS4 and I'm going now.
- 23:14I've still got this. I had this.
- 23:16Sniff three years. I've never played it.
- 23:17I've got it. But I can't get rid of it
- 23:19because it's one of those rare things you can't get rid off, so
- 23:22I can never predict. So scared, talks about that.
- 23:25I have been crucial point of Shame.
- 23:28When you, when you started, can you how I have my spreadsheets
- 23:31right in front of me. Yeah, it's gonna die and wow.
- 23:35Okay, I think of. Okay, I've narrowed it down to
- 23:39the ones I've actually completed but on my list that 108 games.
- 23:44You know, when you like first going to something you go right
- 23:47then 12 months, that's easy. I'm gonna do this, okay?
- 23:50We forget Davidson this, we forget Dave in this because Dave
- 23:53does that. So, you know, they've ignored
- 23:55Dave, you know, so I've got a million games that I could
- 23:58complete the all of them and Dave probably has completed a
- 24:00million or 1 and by their and but I got down to I think I did
- 24:04about 20 in the end and some of them were quite long form games.
- 24:09Like watch dogs, don't know what to do.
- 24:11I pack a 5 dick because the hated it.
- 24:15But things like Assassin's Creed.
- 24:16Oh, that was so scary. That took up so much of my time
- 24:19because I played that at the beginning of the year.
- 24:20And I think I've finished it about my, which one was it, it's
- 24:25a secreted, Odyssey, and, and also division to at that point
- 24:31was really big in my life and they just released the gangs in
- 24:35New York DLC, and that was just really an intervention at once.
- 24:38Yeah, it was ridiculous. Why am I calling me?
- 24:40The kids were crying hungry. I actually bought the DLC while
- 24:45we're recording the show, so we could.
- 24:47So, on the one who had the clang, the shame, the shame,
- 24:50clang. So, but some of the, the most
- 24:53hated game though, on my list, which are completed and I did
- 24:56actually complete, it was called republique.
- 24:57If you've ever played it, it's so bad.
- 24:59Well, no, actually I'll rephrase that.
- 25:02This game is very made of two halves.
- 25:04I think it was a kick, start again or whatever.
- 25:06And you can tell it's to just two holes to this game.
- 25:09It's not meant to be the first half was really good
- 25:11well-structured well paced the second off.
- 25:13I had no idea what's going on. Just fell apart, the controls
- 25:16are rubbish and try to bring in new mechanics into the game.
- 25:18We didn't need it and just rubbish, but that sounds like me
- 25:23and Neil playing anything really?
- 25:33This is a Marvel. We should this is this a sequel
- 25:37of? I played this before.
- 25:41Well forget it. Okay I mean look at it on I
- 25:43could have done better but you know it's a whole other game
- 25:46which was quite disappointing member.
- 25:47We happy few. Yeah that one.
- 25:50Yeah. That was it.
- 25:51That got a big Xbox revealed into it when that was announced
- 25:53and then then it was in development hell for a while,
- 25:57really see? I mean the setup is really good
- 25:59but it's not a very good guy if they know completely.
- 26:02They're completely revamp. It was a, it was a survival
- 26:07horror but Survival game and it being this fish.
- 26:12Fetch Quest go. That's how I ended up being
- 26:14nothing else. That was a bit.
- 26:15I mean, you know, it's a nice aesthetic and all that kind of
- 26:18stuff. So, but I think my favorite one,
- 26:21I'm just looking at my list now. BioShock Infinite the DLC and
- 26:27never played Burial at Sea and my God, it was incredible.
- 26:30Great. Absolutely.
- 26:32I love, I love her by a shocking but never played that deal.
- 26:35So absolutely blew me away. So that's the highlight of my
- 26:39night when was doing year of Shame and the so.
- 26:42But yeah. Do you remember what you Joker
- 26:45was? Yeah, it was a division 2 DLC,
- 26:49Ah, that's okay Cameron then. Yeah, he did.
- 26:55So looking back, man, what were your high or low points of the
- 26:59challenge? I didn't really have any low
- 27:03points because this is going to sound very strange but covid it
- 27:08just hit when we kind of started, it was started hit
- 27:13around about March so everybody was in lockdown anyway.
- 27:16So in a way, we had more free time to do stuff and he was just
- 27:22a lot easy to be fair. It's hard.
- 27:24I think, It's harder now to do so because people have now got
- 27:27back to normal life. And normal life has got in the
- 27:29way. And, you know, obviously people
- 27:30got things to do and all that kind of stuff.
- 27:32So, like join scheduling, which everybody knows is a bit of a
- 27:35nightmare at times, but back then he was, I think it's just
- 27:37easier because everybody's working from home.
- 27:39Well, I wasn't unfortunates going every day but it was just
- 27:42easier to schedule and things like that.
- 27:44So lows, I don't know, I didn't really have a neat, like, I
- 27:48didn't really miss, not buying any games, that's awesome
- 27:51because I was severely into division two.
- 27:54And I knew I was going to buy the DLC and it was like and also
- 27:57got the back catalog which are which are quite light.
- 28:00So, you know, so The highest online the whole is will make
- 28:05the boys, you know, and now we do in a podcast anyway after y 0
- 28:09S. So, you know, it's that, you
- 28:10know, friendships apparently we try and I used to play Destiny
- 28:14with him. I can't remember.
- 28:15Sorry. Do I just
- 28:45James and Dwyane needs and their friends for life.
- 28:49So you know that's the highs and that one.
- 28:52Awesome. That's amazing.
- 28:53So talking about that then did the challenge change your
- 28:59spending habits at all? AIDS. now because I put PS5
- 29:04basically, as soon as I could no, not really, it's I think for
- 29:14a few months or even babbling half, you know, six months, I
- 29:18was probably more cautious going look.
- 29:19And if we're going to buy this summer bringing the play, but I
- 29:21do have the mindset now. And this is the game I
- 29:27desperately want. To be fair, one by day, one,
- 29:31because day one is broke. I'm buying the worst version at
- 29:34the most price. If I leave it three months, I'll
- 29:38buy the version which is patched and it's probably half the
- 29:41price. So really, it's like if you can
- 29:44wait but then fomo everybody knows about fomo and that's when
- 29:47it really kicks in. So but luckily I've had really
- 29:50nothing another, the the game which has got me by the balls at
- 29:53the moment. It's a multiplayer game is for
- 29:56tonight. It's just ridiculous.
- 29:58And I'm talking, I'm not talking, I'm talking now.
- 29:59Bill to, I can't do anything else.
- 30:01Just only can do no build. But again, it's a free to play
- 30:04game, you know, it's up to you if you want to pay money on it,
- 30:06well, you know, it's all that stuff.
- 30:08So yeah. So yeah.
- 30:12See, that's the thing that which is the you hit a really good
- 30:15point is waiting getting the best version for the cheaper
- 30:18price. That's good, that's good for
- 30:20kind of standard games, but when it's that, if you start DLC for
- 30:24that multiplayer game, if there was another massive, I mean,
- 30:27obviously, they're not because of the winding, the more than
- 30:29likely GE announced division three, you know, in the months
- 30:32years to come kind of thing. But if they were, if they were
- 30:34going to drop a another massive deal, you know, kind of
- 30:37expansion. Then you'd buy that day.
- 30:40Yeah. Wear it like the Games I would
- 30:42definitely buy day one would be if it was a new Mass Effect
- 30:44game. Loaded pre-ordered, the whatever
- 30:48version of the moment. I don't care even Andromeda.
- 30:51I quite liked it. Sorry.
- 30:52Yeah, I and and I think division but I don't know.
- 30:58That may be the last of us if there's a lot when last of us
- 31:00three drops and stuff. But the starting now I could
- 31:03quietly like love the one of really happy.
- 31:05I waited for and picked it up for a tenner was cyberpunk and
- 31:09I'm playing that the moment in my God.
- 31:10That's a good guy. Such a good game.
- 31:13I didn't realize it was so story, heavy it go.
- 31:17It just goes on and on and on but I like that.
- 31:19And that's fine. I know it might not appeal to
- 31:21everybody but I like that. Oh, I'm now talking for half an
- 31:25hour, not doing anything and I can't do anything else, but talk
- 31:27to this person, but I'm up for that.
- 31:29So and the combat zone into Deus Ex it's, this is why I like so
- 31:37the funk is, it's my, it's the only thing I've got to my Deus
- 31:40Ex, you know. I've got a moment now.
- 31:43Who do they sell is embracing everywhere and SpaceX now she
- 31:46was it made by they didn't they bite Autumn Tomb Raider and that
- 31:49from Square Enix anyway. So how are you?
- 31:51I'm hoping because now they've owned by somebody else that
- 31:55franchise it will get a reboot and I can get back to my jet
- 32:00Jansen or I loved it. I loved ice cost and I am s.a.t.
- 32:05question for you street. Now, you can after missing out
- 32:08some PlayStation lifecycles. Sorry, you got yourself a PS5.
- 32:13Now, you're loving it. Loving being a father is the
- 32:16best PS4 I've ever owned. I'll say it.
- 32:21It is. It's amazing.
- 32:22It's amazing machine. But my God, they really do start
- 32:25need to be making some PS5, only games for that thing.
- 32:28And then when they do that, then that's when it will start to
- 32:30shine properly. So that's an alternate that's
- 32:32that's what stopped me from. What in one is that everything
- 32:35that if fed, they've done me a favor, I'm going to complain
- 32:38about it now. If they'd made all the games
- 32:40PS5, Exclusive. Yeah, I'd bought it.
- 32:43Yeah, I'd probably bought it last year, but I can understand
- 32:46is I'm just like I'm not going to pay 500 quid to just make put
- 32:49some polish on the game. You know what, they're, I think
- 32:53after using it, I would really do think it's worth it.
- 32:55I've got a pro and I got a normal PS4 and I'll do because
- 32:59of their in the house and the kids use a man that honestly PS5
- 33:02is way better. And I'm glad I've got it might
- 33:05reduce the noise complaint, so I understand why they, I mean, if
- 33:09you're a business and you know that you can sell Mount and
- 33:11you've got all these platforms. Why would you why would you not
- 33:15do it? I understand why they're doing
- 33:16it. It's frustrating for people like
- 33:18us though. We want, come on, you can do
- 33:20better. So, I mean, it's like, I mean,
- 33:23I'll go me. I'm not really into the God of
- 33:24War games, but one of the and I have no idea about the new God
- 33:28of War parents, very good and whatever book, one of the major
- 33:30complaints and it's not about the game itself, it could tell
- 33:33he's been written for a peaceful.
- 33:36Because I use it all the tricks for a PS4 and I'm just like, oh
- 33:38it's such a shame, that's lucky. He's allowed to climb to the
- 33:41Crags, which is fine. I mean when we did that with
- 33:45Uncharted in on the PS3 that was awesome.
- 33:48You going. Oh wow.
- 33:48Accompany they do. That's really cool.
- 33:50But now you know it's a trick and things like that.
- 33:52It's just a shame really and you know, it's it is what it is.
- 33:55I mean, it's an, it's an elevated Steve.
- 33:58It's a mass effect elevator, have you played legendary, they
- 34:02should know you can skip but I don't because I want to listen
- 34:05to all the Sensations. So here's exactly listen to the
- 34:08news reports of the things I've done.
- 34:09Previously course. I do.
- 34:12Sorry. That's a big question for you
- 34:16and she aren't you do the year of Shame challenge again?
- 34:20No. Don't need to be held you know
- 34:37to the balls with what I want to buy and stuff because I don't go
- 34:40that nuts anyway. So I'm okay I ain't buying goat
- 34:45not some buying cable so if there's a year ashamed for
- 34:47buying a badass I will do that one.
- 34:50But you know these are people's. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the year of
- 34:54the draw oh God. I have no idea.
- 35:18That was mine, not yours. I just don't understand now.
- 35:33But, you know, but I hope you re shame though, Seniors for years
- 35:36and years and years. It's great.
- 35:37It is a good thing and I love it.
- 35:40I love how you your rules of the lay of the most.
- 35:42Funniest, because I remember when we did ours, I was there
- 35:44going, no, we have got the blue stone and there is stamp and we
- 35:47will not do vote from the rules and we got shit from when we
- 35:50digged over the rules, not by the community, to be fair, the
- 35:52community didn't care. We gave ourselves shit.
- 35:55Really bad shit. You know what was it cheating?
- 35:57Bastard, theme tune. That's where all that come from.
- 36:01Yeah that was deployed many a time.
- 36:03You know like your rules. It's our whatever.
- 36:06Yeah, but what I like about it, it's the biggest thing I had it.
- 36:09I think it was when it was game. When Game Pass got popular or
- 36:15was really come to you, don't want how we going to do this
- 36:18previous years as a using, you don't buy your game done.
- 36:21There was no subscription Services, really?
- 36:23And now it's like, well, okay I've got PS poster Got Game, you
- 36:28know got yeah we got all these good Fuel Services going off and
- 36:32like what have you and it's not fair.
- 36:33You've spent, you know, that money.
- 36:35That year and you may have bought two or three years and
- 36:37you can't use it for a whole year.
- 36:38So but I like the way that you guys have like done little
- 36:42different things like Joe with his mates PS4 and Matt with his
- 36:46money matters and all that kind of stuff.
- 36:47And I know it's just it's just it's again least it's turning -
- 36:51upside down again and having a different angle.
- 36:54I think I'm gonna call first started.
- 36:56Everybody was really like no, you cannot buy game, or will
- 36:59come and hunt, you and kill you all and all that guys, know.
- 37:01But now, I think after years and years, it's just more relaxed
- 37:04and it's small Like yeah, do what you want, cause you do what
- 37:07you want. The end of the day, who cares?
- 37:12I was listening to an old one today.
- 37:13I was listening to the blah blah with Cole and didn't e-file a
- 37:18year because he bought an amiibo.
- 37:29But there was, there was some real rule.
- 37:31I mean back then, I suppose the real Rick.
- 37:32What was that one where somebody would trade in a load of games?
- 37:36Tabali other games, but because they said, we were trading in a
- 37:40spent. No, actual real money.
- 37:42Therefore, I've not spent any money, so therefore I can have
- 37:44this brand new game now, that's a rule been, but you know what?
- 37:49There were days nowadays? You know what?
- 37:50Mom, I feel on this one. If your written in the rules who
- 37:53cares launch, you've got your own rules and you follow your
- 37:56own rules. And okay, some bits use the
- 38:00combat, rule a combat or the head rule.
- 38:04What's that one? You know, the game as long as
- 38:07you win it by combat, that's what
- 38:30to do next year then tell, you know, still to bugger off and
- 38:33you can do it all next year and do that rule.
- 38:36You'll be hearing about that all in due course.
- 38:41Anyway, thence to obviously, we skirted around a few of your
- 38:45things. This is your section where have
- 38:48you got anything to pimp? Nothing at all?
- 38:52Oh, well. As everybody's listening to
- 39:02this, you've probably gathered that.
- 39:04Now I do something else. Else with the the previous year
- 39:07of Shame, eight hosts and that's called the league of gaming
- 39:10gentlemen. And that is a basically kind of
- 39:15well we actually we're doing a season 2.
- 39:16Now we're going to change the format a little bit to make it
- 39:19more more consistent and when we do the output, but it was sort
- 39:24of based on what we did with the yolk y OS.
- 39:26So as the competition's now, the really was just we would always
- 39:29Annoy Us. We've just competition.
- 39:31Competition was against Dave. Only just day.
- 39:33We just picking on Dave, that's it.
- 39:36But this one is like competition about all of us, you know, it's
- 39:38like got a league table and so, we'll pick various games and
- 39:41then we go play them. And we got physical challenges
- 39:43and all that. So it's really the, the stats in
- 39:45the adventure that in the piss taken in the comedy around
- 39:48awesome stuff. So and yeah.
- 39:50So that's mainly I loved watching you guys trying to put
- 39:54together a Lego set and everybody had recorded their
- 39:59respective tables with like okay.
- 40:00Well I guess I need to watching five people's different
- 40:05approach. Churches to the methodical
- 40:07person who takes all of them out and double checks.
- 40:09And compared said, hey, I said just bash cubing it so and but
- 40:18yeah, it's a. So that's what we do now as you
- 40:20follow me, so you can go to the log box, just type it in.
- 40:24Google, hello, Gigi log box and then you'll just find us from
- 40:28there. So, but my actually, the way one
- 40:32of the competition's I did really enjoy and actually worn
- 40:34because I can't Leave him pigheaded a wise.
- 40:37It was the biscuit. Duncan competition.
- 40:39Did you see that one? Yes, I was the one who did two
- 40:42hours. Dunking a biscuit.
- 40:45Everybody else just went. I do this and they went off like
- 40:48normal people. Would normal people would do
- 40:50that. No.
- 40:51Now hold a Biscuit in. See if it would bend for two
- 40:54hours. I was watching episodes of
- 40:56Daredevil at the same time, I don't want to spoil too much but
- 41:02what was the to our dunking biscuit?
- 41:05Oh got a car remember it was a what was it?
