1:16
episode. We have fucked up the space
1:19
time. Continuum.
1:20
I would think right? Are we like Rick and Morty?
1:25
I don't I don't want to deal with that bullshit.
1:28
Just that I mean I'm not smart enough so I can match up back

1:44
welcome wasd and Beyond same show.
1:46
You guys have listened to for the past couple of years.
1:51
I'm sure we'll do some changeups this year and will reflect on
1:54
what worked, what didn't work for you guys and ourselves.
1:57
And we'll just continue to make the show bigger and better each,
2:00
and every year, and throughout the year. 23.
2:03
We that's what we will strive to do.
2:05
Yes, but before we get into all that shit, let's thank our
2:10
wonderful. Sponsors of the show.
2:12
We are sponsored by final boss and Doc Lonnie Doc long.
2:18
He just did a surprise. Drop the boys.
2:21
They do boys. He just did a surprise drop on
2:23

2:36
I sent him a bunch of messages that I'm Sherman games.
2:41
Pretty nice Birmingham. I've just been watching peaky.
2:45
Blinders, I know that I got from what I understand.
2:48
Birmingham is not a good area, but I just watched the show and
2:53
I know that's where it takes place in Birmingham, so I was
2:55
just making a joke. I think what I think doc, we'll
2:57
get it done. I'm sure he'll understand it.
2:59
I'm sure they'd be shocked if I don't.
3:01
If I got it wrong, feel free to Flame me on Twitter.
3:05
Just let me know. He's he's he's probably like a
3:09
shite you guys are idiots. But yeah basically, enjoy your
3:12
birthday. Doc the Get the drops.
3:14
I would he be some? I don't MF Doom, which are two
3:17
of my personal favorite rappers, final boss closed out on their
3:22
half life to drop but I've seen the shit Erica's working on for
3:28
23. Yeah, some pretty cool shit.
3:32
It's gonna be some pretty fucking cool shit for 23.
3:35
All this stuff, I don't get to see any of it.
3:37
I forget to send it to you honestly.
3:40
That's fine. I mean it's fine.
3:42
You only talk to you every day but that's cool.
3:43
Let's go. I just forget this is something
3:46
we need to change up in 2023. Yes.
3:48
We better communication throughout the entire spawn Camp
3:50
calling all of us out. That is fine.
3:53
Again, ladies and gentlemen. We're going to go strong in in
3:57
2023 and all right. Cool.
4:00
Now we're behind the scenes. I'm freaking out wondering if
4:04
we're off to a good start. We're off to a good start.
4:05
We're Not Gonna, I'm not gonna give away our secrets.
4:07
I didn't think Evans audio was recorded.
4:09
And you just gave away your secret after.
4:12
Oh, man, this 23 is off to a terrible start.
4:15
I think this is just a, you know what, I think this is kind of
4:18
how the years going to go, though.
4:19
It's going to be, you know, pretty cool at first and then
4:22
it's going to not be so cool. And then it's just going to just
4:24
tumble down lower though. I'm talking about the gaming
4:26
industry, Farthing whooping, Putin's going to die this year.
4:31
Okay, well of three, three, three and a half minutes and not
4:34
even really do 35 on the table row.
4:37
Yeah, you've waited just a little bit uneven.
4:43
Anyways so I kind of want to do this episode on what's to come
4:50
in 2023 from wasd, Beyond a couple of games.
4:54
We've been playing and to touch up on the Kalisto protocol.
5:00
I myself Have completed the game.
5:02
Evan is your decently far into it though?
5:06
I mean, so I've heard from yeah. Like I've heard some people are
5:09
able to complete a pretty fast, some others not like others, not
5:12
so much. I can't even particularly
5:15
remember right. Where I'm at at this current
5:17
moment, but I have gotten the third shotgun which I was kind
5:21
of out there checking but this the third gun the riot gun,
5:24
right? Yeah and I was kind of
5:26
disappointed. It's all used to make another
5:27
game. Like I was kind of disappointed.
5:30
I thought it was going to Be like an assault rifle or an SMG
5:33
and it wasn't, and I was kind of just like your feelings.
5:37
Okay, you do it any other time so I don't know why you're
5:40
waiting now. Did the look?
5:42
I'm just not I'm not gonna I'm not gonna spoil the game for
5:44
you. That's why I'm okay.
5:46
All right. Yeah.
5:47
I am excited to keep playing it. I have, I find it to be quite
5:49
fun. I know a lot of people when it
5:51
came out, especially due to the graphical issues on PC.
5:54
Especially, I know that it got a, I got review.
5:56
Bombed have Elite like terribly on on Steam, but if I look right
6:01
now at the store Page, we actually have this has been a
6:05
couple weeks of never mind. I was gonna say still, Mixed.
6:08
But better out of the nine are the mostly negative, nineteen
6:12
thousand five hundred and nine user reviews, 60% are positive.
6:15
So yeah, I mean steam probably didn't get rid of all the ones
6:18
at the beginning, that we're just giving it shift from it.
6:20
Networking. Well, I don't think that it's
6:23
very Fair to keep those now just because it's that's an issue,
6:29
like, I feel like there should be some sort of embargo on
6:31
reviews like that, you know, like if there are glaring issues
6:35
at the game when it comes out in their fixed within a week, which
6:39
pretty much this was. Yeah, I feel like those review
6:41
should kind of be taken out, especially if they're only
6:43
relate, to graphical issues like that because then, it's not
6:46
really a fair thing to call it that, I guess that's just me.
6:50
Yes. I you like want to agree with me
6:55
but you don't I do. I think that These developers
7:02
are different than the CDP are devs and the damn tired.
7:07
I would agree. I don't think they were trying
7:09
to release a game. That was complete.
7:12
Utter dumpster fire. I really don't think that was
7:14
the intention here and I don't know, I wouldn't say Calista was
7:17
at all. I have my gripes with it.
7:19
For sure. You have, I have no issues with
7:20
it. I have my frustrations with the
7:22
game and I think it's all stuff that's been addressed to a
7:26
degree. Like, I know that the healing
7:28
animation is a lot faster. Now, I know the reload animation
7:32
is an actual reload animation. Now, like it's just like you
7:36
flick your slap and you go. Okay, cool.
7:39
This is stuff that should have in a game.
7:41
So primarily based around Close Quarters combat.
7:47
They made it incredibly difficult to fight now, and I'm
7:51
sticking by that. I can I can see what you're
7:54
saying with that though. I understand that it's
7:56
frustrating especially in its and like you and I talked about
7:59
this a while ago, it's mostly due to the fact of when you have
8:01
to fight One VX enemies like one-on-one season.
8:05
Yeah but when it's 2/3 of them coming up you kind of have to
8:09
almost like shoot one kill one kind of runaround fight.
8:14
One of them. Watch out for the one behind
8:16
you, like, it's not like a, it's not like a, like a Batman,
8:20
right? Where it's, you know, you can
8:22
fight six different people, right?
8:23
And it never was meant to be clearly, but there wasn't a lot
8:27
of. It feels like you have to be
8:29
there's a very specific way to play it.
8:30
If you're going to do like a 1 V 2, 1 B, 3, and it and then at
8:33
that point, it doesn't really, it's not working quite well as
8:35
the one V. One would the game, almost those
8:37
in a lot itself. To that though.
8:41
Like my issue. Is this a lot of the times when
8:44
I was mobbed I would say yeah there is a couple different like
8:51
combos you could do right? Like okay, so I heavy hit one, I
8:55
shoot one, I hit that one again at first I'm able to kill it and
9:01
then I can then, you know, grab and throw right?
9:06
Sure. Yeah.
9:07
But but when the grab and throw Gets a bit annoying because that
9:15
fucking Necromorph his toe hits the corner of another fucking
9:19
thing and it just stops IT dead in its tracks and then it's just
9:23
on the ground eating me. And this other thing when I'm in
9:27
animation to fight something else, it's just killing me
9:30
because there's no quick Invincible invincibility while
9:34
you're swinging on another enemy in an animation in a cutscene
9:38
animation. No less because Some of these
9:40
things. Almost go into a cutscene skp
9:41
animation and I'm getting it in mobbed and killed.
9:46
Yeah, dude, it's just things that I think that were
9:48
oversights. And I think that for the next
9:51
Callisto project, Yeah, I think it's all going to be.
9:56
I think it's gonna be fixed. Also the map stupid.
9:59
The whole layout of the prison is so stupid.
10:01
It's a map itself has been. I found it kind of annoying
10:04
because I'm playing on mouse and keyboard and I really want to be
10:06
able to just use my cursor and click on stuff and I can't.
10:09
Yeah, yeah. That kind of that kind of gets
10:11
to me but I in terms of like the okay.
10:15
And I know you'll agree with me on this, in terms of visual
10:17
Fidelity, the gorgeous stunning, it is working.
10:21
I have never seen. Josh, Duhamel look so good in a
10:25
video game mostly because he's only been in one other one.
10:28
I can think of off the top of my head where he's actually like
10:30
motion-captured, which was Call of Duty World, War Two, sleeper
10:33
hit. By the way, if you haven't
10:34
played that go play, that's a great game series fantastic?
10:36
Yes. But like, I enjoyed the story so
10:43
far. I do find it, I think it has a
10:46
lot of I wouldn't say issues but it does, it's a typical standard
10:50
like horror game, which I'm playing with.
10:53
And in that regard it's just a typical standards story, like,
10:57
dialogue Wise. It's just like, every time I
11:01
remember where I'm at now and it's after the prison Warden,
11:04
slams that ship into where you and Karen fukuhara, I don't
11:08
remember her real name but she's she's the she's from The boys.
11:11
Yeah I can't remember her Kimiko.
11:15
Given Cohen the boys. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:17
I know she's returned. She's referred to as the female
11:19
in the comics, right? But yeah some but ya know so
11:22
like I don't know her name in the in the story but I'm just
11:27
I'm with her right after he slams the plane or the ship into
11:30
it and we and you fall through. Yeah.
11:33
And you like have to avoid all the stuff part of me wanted to
11:35
hit some of the stuff and see like what happened in terms of a
11:38
death scene but because I'm a weird human being I just can't
11:41
That I can't force myself water to win if I can.
11:43
Yeah. Like like just want to get out
11:45
of it. I did try and reload the game a
11:46
couple of times to where you can because there's a little part
11:49
where you time it, right? Li you can actually grab her
11:51
hand before you like fall off like you can miss it.
11:56
Oh, really? Yeah, you can grab her hand.
11:58
Same thing happens, but I just thought it was kind of cool that
12:00
you can, you can do that. But then that hat.
12:03
But then that happens where I reloaded it and I had the same
12:05
thing happen. I was like, oh, this is stupid.
12:07
Like you, why did I even bother? I will see you on up the whole
12:10
falling through shit. It.
12:12
I thought that was pretty funny, dude, it happens.
12:14
But yes, but it happens in every fucking segment after what
12:19
you're doing. Oh, really?
12:22
At least three more times you're like, walking as just like
12:25
Jacob, be careful. Boom.
12:28
And you just fall through shittin, Ya Doin It Happens
12:31
three more fucking times at least.
12:34
So it's like it becomes a thing where it was like, For me, once
12:40
our unit, we've heard be able to get into it more but for me I
12:43
was like, what the fuck? Where's the creativity in this
12:46
game? Then like you have these things,
12:48
the same thing you have this atmosphere, which is generic and
12:51
that's fine. It's sci-fi, doesn't have to be
12:53
groundbreaking. I don't care what some asshole
12:56
from fucking Metacritic. Said, it doesn't have to be
12:58
groundbreaking. It's fucking sci-fi.
13:01
It can be generic and still be cool and scary.
13:04
This however, falling through a Three fucking times is boring.
13:10
Sure, recycling. A boss until the last boss is
13:16
bullshit M. That pissed me off.
13:19
I was like oh cool boss, I'm like just fought this thing.
13:24
Captain kept happening. Yeah kept fucking happening and
13:27
that is my with one of my grapes of the game.
13:29
I just feel like It's this was more of a.
13:33
Let's see how people. Dig this game.
13:38
So what we do yeah and then we'll change everything up for
13:41
the second. Well yeah we'll fix it up for
13:43
our or the action that's fine but just don't don't be
13:47
surprised when you release something and it's not working
13:50
and people go, this isn't working.
13:52
This is bullshit. This sucks right here.
13:55
Don't get surprised which these devs, didn't?
13:57
They went. Okay, let's make Health faster.
14:00
Let's make reload faster, because if you get hurt in this
14:03
game, and you need to heal, you're fucked.
14:05
Yeah, yeah, sorry. Now you're fine.
14:09
But to the guy on Metacritic or whoever it was that was like,
14:12
well, needs to be groundbreaking, let's be honest
14:14
here. If you're referring to Dead
14:15
Space, while it was groundbreaking, in terms of it
14:17
video game aspect, you want to find a horror like sci-fi thing
14:21
that takes place in space, you clearly have never seen event.
14:26
So it's not a very not a very fair thing to say and I think
14:30
that's just a problem that unrelated to Kalisto and just
14:34
kind of speaking to the broader term of this year and stuff is
14:37
that everybody wants the game to be groundbreaking.
14:39
And everybody also wants the game to be perfect on release
14:41
and everybody wants it as soon as they can get it.
14:43
And everybody wants to only pay 60 bucks for it or less.
14:48
So, You're kind of like grasping at straws in terms of what you
14:53
want, like you want the game to be groundbreaking and you also
14:55
want it to work perfectly and you want it to be cheap or at
14:58
the very least, you know, 60 bucks and no more.
15:01
Because you can't justify spending 70 or whatever.
15:04
But you can justify spending 60 which to me makes no sense.
15:06
You're already spending 60. Like Community is a short game,
15:09
but it's still it's it's an adventure, MIT games are 60
15:13
bucks, 70 bucks, right for dribble again for AAA games.
15:17
And that's just that's just how it is where we're at.
15:20
And I see it all the time. On Twitter of people who are
15:23
like, but it's only like an eight-hour story.
15:26
I can finish it in seven hours. It's like okay.
15:27
But like we said about the other day I paid 15 bucks to go see a
15:32
three hour movie. Yes.
15:35
Yeah. Okay.
15:36
Like yeah. So games aren't designed to be a
15:38
dollar an hour. They're absolutely not you're
15:41
not saying a DOT whatever, whatever the game is, the game
15:45
is fun. And I've enjoyed it but I'm also
15:47
not a horror movie game person. I'm not a very Each person in
15:51
terms of like what I like to play.
15:52
So I've enjoyed it. The jump scares have gotten me
15:55
because I am a scaredy-cat. I will not be afraid to admit
15:58
that life. Yeah, so I've had fun with it
16:01
and I but I do see like your point on how its kind of
16:04
annoying for this that and the other.
16:05
So yeah, I mean currently for me right now, Ed of a 10 scale, I'm
16:09
probably sitting at like a 7 because I'm enjoying my time
16:12
with it. It says seven 6.57 for me.
16:15
I haven't decided and I've beaten the game.
16:17
I've been beaten it but it's I'm hovering right now in terms of
16:23
the gore, I'm being dishonest little bit to be desired or not.
16:28
It's right. It's not anything we haven't
16:30
seen do maternal Swaim, I mean sure the death animations in
16:35
this game but they repeat in this game far more often than I
16:39
thought they would guess you could buy more if you want to
16:43
which I think is kind of stupid talked about this.
16:46
Don't get I know the false sense of understanding you don't pay
16:49
for death animations. You just get them when you pay
16:51
for other things. Yes, yes.
16:55
It's not as gory as I like, they were touting it out to be, it's
16:58
violent, it's gory. It's definitely you get covered
17:01
in viscera and shit in this game.
17:04
Paris. I tell the day it's nothing.
17:07
I haven't seen and I would honestly say Dead Space is way
17:10
more violent than this. I think I think that dead space
17:15
as a little bit more Focus to on terror people's limbs off.
17:19
Yes. Their limbs off whereas this is
17:21
kind of like I felt I was more so just I could choose to shoot
17:24
them in the legs. If I wanted to add the arms but
17:27
I was mostly just going for the head.
17:29
Yeah. And all that stuff, whereas in
17:30
Dead Space are even. I played like two and three.
17:33
I think I played through with Elliot a little bit, and that's
17:36
a bit different because it's like, no, you are going to shoot
17:38
their legs. Because if you shoot their legs,
17:40
you can then stomp on them and it's Hello, Kill Ya.
17:43
And then or like, if they're swinging, you know, you shoot
17:45
their head off in there, swinging wildly.
17:47
Okay. Now you shoot the arms off.
17:48
Okay, well now they're kind of, you know, incapacitated now you
17:51
can just go for a wild Punch or whatever.
17:53
So, like I said, I've enjoyed it.
17:57
And I, but yeah, I can see two as well.
17:59
Like, it's not as gory as you expected it to be your wanted it
18:02
to be. I mean, I also don't play games
18:04
that are particularly always Cory.
18:06
Yeah, so it doesn't really like Get to me like I think it's
18:11
gruesome but it's not gruesome in the sense of where I'm like
18:14
oh shit like you know I'm covering my face or something
18:16
like that. Like I've seen more gruesome
18:17
things in like a movie like John Wick, where I watch him, get his
18:20
toenails taken off and that's a rough scene for me to watch out.
18:22
Yeah, I'm related to toenails and fingernails that's fucked
18:25
up. So like seeing that is it's
18:28
almost like you're a bit desensitized to it.
18:30
Yours like yeah, I watch my character's head gets split,
18:32
open like nothing. I haven't seen before.
18:34
Yeah. I mean it just be coming up
18:37
playing Left 4 Dead 2 where you can shoot someone in the
18:39
stomach. And you watch their like
18:41
entrails fall out or you shoot them, like side of the chest and
18:44
you see their rib cage. Like so it's one of those things
18:46
where it's like, yeah, I'm not really desensitized to I'm more
18:50
more sensitive to like what I just said like like watching
18:53
someone being tortured and like very, very upfront and like
18:58
gruesomely. Yeah.
18:59
Like like a Noah's Ark. There's a scene where somebody's
19:02
fingernail gets like taken off and it's like that's rough for
19:06
me to watch because it's just like I couldn't imagine, I Like
19:10
I would be I'd probably want to pass out just from that alone.
19:13
So yeah. No I mean just I've enjoyed it.
19:17
I thought it's been, it's been fun but I've definitely found
19:20
myself spending time playing other games.
19:24
Yeah. In between which I think that
19:26
what have you been playing like vampire?
19:29
I know you're finished Ivers, even playing a lot of that.
19:32
And I need to load it up on my steam deck.
19:34
I've heard from Eric I've heard from Brody and a Out of people
19:40
will be seeing tonight which we will be seeing that I am, the
19:43
day record, doesn't make sense for next.
19:46
Week's up, whatever we're recording with, don't get it.
19:49
Whatever, you'll hear us twice if you listen to dignity, which
19:52
you shop? Yes.
19:55
So I've been playing Vampire survivors, but I've also been
19:58
like, diving back into older games.
20:00
I used to play, I started playing the postal series again.
20:03
Which no, shock there, I guess. But I've been having fun with
20:09
postal. to, and I miss games like that, I guess where it was
20:16
like a middle finger to the entire industry.
20:19
That's a postal 2 is its satirical.
20:21
Like, you don't have to kill anybody, right?
20:24
You'll get shot at you'll get attacked, but like, you don't
20:27
have to do anything in that game.
20:29
You just need to go to point A to point B, but you're tempted,
20:33
right? Like That was like, the biggest
20:36
fuck you to the entire like, video game band, like, they're
20:38
trying to make it video like violent games band and running
20:41
with Scissors. Makes this it was like a giant
20:43
fuck you. Like, it's the players doing it.
20:46
We given them a Sam. Yeah, but like snots of it.
20:52
That's why I like postal to post the ones.
20:54
Not that my opinion. It's that top-down isometric.
20:58
You know, you kill everybody in the game ends with you ellika,
21:01
an elementary school. But yeah that's a bit.
21:04
Can't you can't kill any of the kids like you can shoot, but
21:08
it's a whole thing whatever. So I'm playing postal 2, a
21:13
survivor's Counter Strike, go or csgo, has been an absolute blast
21:19
and then yesterday Streets. Tarkoff came out.
21:25
Yes. Got to play a couple rounds of
21:29
that was pretty pissed off that my computer wasn't running.
21:32
Well, until I found out that my Ram was not running up to speed.
21:36
And also that for whatever reason battle State having by
21:40
narrow audio on drops your FPS. Don't know how that works.
21:43
Okay, so did you try that out? I didn't.
21:46
Well, I did and then I tried to load into a scavenger Resort
21:49
archive and was waiting for 15 minutes.
21:51
So I stopped and then I load it into The Hideout, which the
21:55
height of always has run pretty well for me, but I was getting
21:58
Because FPS in The Hideout, so like okay bodes.
22:00
Well for me. Yeah, like we'll see you
22:02
tonight. Hopefully it does go pretty
22:04
well, but I'm kind of skeptical still.
22:06
I'd love to be able to actually play the game and not have to
22:08
deal with like, yeah, fds dropping and all that kind of
22:11
stuff. So, yeah, we'll see.
22:14
So yeah, I played that with you yesterday.
22:16
I haven't playing Counter-Strike with you a lot.
22:18
Have a great clip of you missing 30 bullets on one enemy.
22:22
Paul. Larious probably will upload
22:25
that. Yeah, that was pretty funny.
22:28
And especially, just Nix Nix responses, like, what?
22:30
What just happened. So just like, not even out of
22:34
anger just bewilderment. Like, I don't know how I missed
22:36
all that. Dude, I was so disappointed in
22:38
myself. That's been that's been a lot of
22:40
fun. I've been playing with you
22:42
Julian mat and then a couple, occasionally, some other boys
22:45
from the discard if they want to hop into it, that kind of
22:47
things. We have a full five so that's
22:49
been enjoyable. And playing some War Thunder.
22:54
Surprisingly young. That up again, I don't know what
22:57
Julian's a lot about. Jetson with the Jets, bro.
23:01
I don't understand it. I don't like, I'm the docs.
23:03
I don't get it. I, yeah, it's the same thing.
23:05
Like, I mean, I like jets in the sense of like, if I see them.
23:09
They're cool. Yeah, I give a video pops up on
23:11
YouTube of like flyover and hearing the sound of like an
23:14
F-22. Yeah, I'm cool.
23:15
But when I'm talking to him and he just starts going off about
23:17
how the F-35 has retrograde thrusters or some shit.
23:20
I'm like, I stop. I'm like dude I don't I don't
23:23
care like they're cool to look at and they sound awesome.
23:26
Like yeah that's all I know, that's all.
23:28
I pay attention to, I mean, so I've been playing War Thunder.
23:31
I know that I miss my buddy. Elliot, he's in South Korea
23:34
right now. Would love to play some more.
23:36
Love you. Elliot he wasn't there with her
23:37
bed. This is the shh.
23:39
He'll hear us. He was over there.
23:42
Yeah miss you buddy. Then doing the German planes.
23:44
Now I've I've been trying to do something where I just have like
23:47
a progression system. You have to kind of go through
23:50
so like been playing that so I can go through an unlocked, the
23:53
planes. I've been playing some
23:54
Battlefield 4, on an alternate account that I got.
23:56
So I can kind of unlock all the weapons and stuff against It's
23:59
been so very good dude. Such a blast playing that game.
24:02
So much fun. Brings me back to like high
24:04
school where I would just come home.
24:06
Get baked and play, Battlefield 4 with my buddies at the time.
24:10
Yeah, just go crazy, get kills and like snipe and all that
24:13
stuff. That's been a ton of fun.
24:16
And other than that, that's been the usual for me, F1 2022,
24:21
assetto Corsa f 1. 2019, pretty much any racing game.
24:26
I can get my hands on. I've been eager to try and play
24:29
and just enjoy which is going to be pretty funny for tonight with
24:33
dignity because they're going to ask all these like what are your
24:35
top ten. And I'm sure like, more than
24:36
half of them are racing. Yeah, yeah, they are.
24:41
So yeah, I mean, I've been kind of doing that.
24:43
Yeah, I'm excited to play more tarkov over the weekend.
24:46
Like today, but I'm not not excited for the long waiting.
24:51
Really, really tired of that of. Just like, I gotta wait, 10
24:55
minutes to get into a scab just so I can die in three.
24:58
Yeah, it's a bummer. Yeah, it's just, it's just
25:00
annoying and it's going to get even worse as the night goes on
25:02
because we were getting home from work, some people aren't
25:04
working tomorrow, so they're going to be like, yeah, I'm just
25:06
going to game all night and it's guys gotta help me out here.
25:10
I want to play too Sheriff, exactly shared with.
25:14
Yeah, exactly, it's how I feel. Oh my God.
25:17
So yeah, I've been doing a lot of doing a lot of that.
25:20
Looking at my list here, I don't have.
25:22
I did have I think for my steam replay, I think I had 17 percent
25:28
of my play time. This year was F1 2021, I forgot
25:32
to look at mine. If you haven't yet, people go to
25:35
your steam, your Steam account and do the replay.
25:37
It's really actually cool. Yeah, I have achieved a lot this
25:42
year in terms of games, I'm actually kind of surprised.
25:46
I have I'll try and pull it up. I'm curious if it saved.
25:50
So, okay, know why is it when I look up steam replay, the first
25:54
thing that pops up is something from Digital Trends on.
25:56
How to get my steam replay. Just bring me the steam room.
25:59
Dude, who knows? So it's just right on the steam
26:04
page, team replay. I got it.
26:08
Yes. Oh oh sorry.
26:10
So csgo is 17% of my playtime and F1 2020. 2021 has 14% of my
26:15
play time. I played 121 sessions of F1
26:17
2021, I played 138 games this year, 50 of them are new.
26:24
I've played two demos and to playtest.
26:27
I've unlocked just in this year. Alone 460 achievements.
26:31
Yeah, 29 rare achievements over 56 games and I have played 69%
26:38
That nice with mouse and keyboard and 29 percent with a
26:42
controller. So I got a whole bunch here.
26:48
Let's see how I compared with the rest of the Steam Community.
26:52
The steam average of achievement unlocked was 21 and I unlocked
26:55
460 I played there a 138 games steam, average was five and my
27:02
longest streak of loading into steam and playing a game was 83
27:04
days. So, I'm ready pretty nice.
27:09
So for me, Eldon ring took up 28% of my playtime with 71
27:16
sessions. Tell ya, I played 59 games, 32
27:21
would of which were new 15 demos and for playtests school coming
27:28
up second was called the Lamb of eight with eight percent nine
27:33
sessions played, I Act 177 achievements with 24 games and
27:41
three rare achievements as shit somehow.
27:45
Modern Warfare 2. Took up 7 percent of my time as
27:48
well. That's hilarious.
27:51
I don't get it, 64% keyboard mouse.
27:56
So I unlock 20, 177 achievements, the average is 21
28:01
59 games. The average was five and 12 days
28:06
was my longest streak. Nice.
28:11
Yeah. I'm looking through some of my
28:12
stuff here as well. I do have my top played VR games
28:17
which was 1% of my play. Time was six games contractors.
28:21
That's pretty fun hard bullet, which is kind of like a John
28:24
Wick simulator Blade the sorcery, fantastic fastba,
28:28
phobia fun as hell. And some reason under the top
28:31
plate VR games, Callisto protocol, is up there.
28:34
Sweet Not a, not a VR game so help me out with that one.
28:39
Yeah. Four percent of my play time.
28:40
This year was for COD. Another 4% was for God of War.
28:44
Such a great game. Yeah I unlocked a ton of stuff.
28:48
It looks like I mostly played 64 to 64 percent of my total
28:52
playtime through the month of April, was F1 2021.
28:55
Yeah, I'm not shocked. Yeah, because I was gearing up
28:58
for or 2022. So been a blast I'm surprised at
29:02
CES is at the top of the list. As I really don't feel like I
29:09
played that much of it, but apparently it's been it's one of
29:12
those things where it's more of a constant like February.
29:15
March, it was 28 and 29 percent of my total playtime.
29:19
Bruce yes. Was each respect?
29:20
Yeah for each respective month. That's why it feels weird
29:23
because it's like, it's been so long from there that I don't
29:25
even remember playing it like that, I'm shocked.
29:29
Yeah, and then in the, my little like, a spiderweb thing down
29:32
here, what I was playing in like spider graph.
29:35
Yeah, it's a spider graph farthest to the point where FPS
29:40
and racing, it's kind of what I've been doing this year.
29:43
So it's been a lot of fun. I mean I enjoy FPS games as much
29:46
as the next guy and then I just racing is fun because it's
29:48
something you can just chill out and like I think it was two days
29:52
ago or something like that. We were playing tarkov for
29:55
before the wipe. And I just was like, I played
29:57
one game and I was like, you know what?
29:58
No, because I got to go to bed. Yeah, I don't want to be I don't
30:02
want to be sitting here going like, like my heart rate going
30:05
up because I'm like yeah I got it.
30:06
I gotta kill this guy, you know, I just like nah man I can just I
30:09
can turn my brain off. I can play racing fall that
30:12
racing line, get into some cool overtakes and just call it a
30:15
night so that's what I did. Oh yeah dude.
30:19
Yeah. Steam steam replay was sick man.
30:22
That's really cool the year. Yeah do it folks just do it.
30:26
Check what you did. It's really sweet.
30:28
It'll even though it'll let you know if you have a steam deck I
30:30
played straight Max Payne 3. Project zomboid the bunch of
30:33
things on my steam deck. I'm going to have time obviously
30:37
so yeah, to do the replay now. Should we end off the episode
30:42
with kind of giving a couple ideas of what people can expect
30:47
with our next few episodes? I would say, yeah.
30:50
I think that's important to let people know what's coming to
30:52
them in 2023. At the beginning, God of War is
30:55
happening after this episode. That's I'll say it right now,
30:58
you're gonna cue the music, so got it.
31:01
Coming obviously ever and I both love that game a lot.
31:06
We played it in completed it. So you can expect that, it might
31:09
be a two-parter. Depending how long first half
31:11
the conversation goes, I'm going to be a big one, ladies and
31:15
gentlemen. Yes, you can expect more movie
31:17
reviews from Evan myself copely and whoever else wants to be on
31:21
here, Nick knows I have been watching the Oppenheimer trailer
31:26
every single day. Evan is ready since I have
31:30
never, I don't think I was Best sex.
31:33
I don't think I've been this excited for a movie since
31:35
probably Top Gun. No, I was excited for Top Gun
31:40
but I wasn't expecting anything big.
31:41
Whereas Top Gun was a sleeper hit to me, like, got you.
31:44
Okay, it did not. I did not expect it to make a
31:46
billion dollars. We ran be and make make that
31:50
like, it is, as long as Avatar, doesn't beat it in the next
31:53
three days. It will be the highest, it'll be
31:57
the like highest-grossing movie of the year, which is crazy.
32:00
It's a 36 year. Equal.
32:02
Yeah, so like yeah, like I'm a huge movie lover as Nick knows
32:07
I'm not, I wouldn't say I'm a buff because I don't know
32:09
everything about every movie. I just am good with names and
32:11
actors and directors and stuff. But I love movies.
32:15
Can't wait to see the Barbie movie.
32:16
That's me in the boys. So do I think it's I think it's
32:20
gonna be a cool movie. Yeah.
32:22
So I'd like to see a lot of I'm going to be pushing Nick a lot
32:25
to do some more movie reviews and I'll bring some people on to
32:28
talk about movie reviews as well.
32:29
I know that Nick doesn't want to talk about Avatar.
32:31
Has he hates it for some reason? I'm sure you'll get people on
32:34
the episode to talk about Avatar with you.
32:36
See. You can tell folks how she just
32:38
does not like that Series. Yeah, I'll probably have no,
32:41
I'll hop on that with me and anybody else who watches it,
32:43
that wants to hop on because that was a fantastic movie.
32:46
Going to go see it again. Just beautiful.
32:49
Can't wait to basically kidnapped Nick and do that thing
32:52
from Clockwork, Orange, where I just kind of, make sure it'll
32:56
stay open and force you to watch The Voice.
32:57
This is why they're good for Alex.
33:00
Yeah. That was not a fun time for him
33:02
but yeah, copley's going to get on here.
33:05
We'll probably have him on for the Oppenheimer movie.
33:07
I know he was going to see that with us.
33:09
Yeah and I think I think we should review some Christopher
33:11
Nolan's films. It's been a long time.
33:13
Coming Colby would probably have fun with that as well.
33:16
Yeah, I mean we got a we got a ton of those to go through.
33:18
I mean, Dark Knight trilogy, all that stuff Terrence, you know,
33:21
we've been promising. Hopefully for a long time, he
33:24
loves Tarantino. So yeah he wants to I'm sure I
33:26
will get into plenty of fun. Little arguments about that with
33:29
him because I love Tarantino and I have no issues with him but I
33:32
just he's not my favorite and I think it'll be fun to get into
33:35
cope with because I know company loves him so much.
33:38
I mean like I said man there's a lot to expect with us.
33:41
Yeah. List of coming.
33:42
That's yeah. We're gonna we're gonna do a
33:44
full review of that TV shows stuff.
33:46
Yeah, I talk about TV shows, talk about The Sopranos, so
33:50
that'll be one. Ted lasso is one we got to do,
33:53
is kind of fitting because the ability.
33:56
Yeah, I don't think it'll be this year.
33:58
They said it may be early next year for On three I'm, which
34:01
will surely be. It will be its final season.
34:04
Yeah, they are not going to make another one unless Apple
34:07
basically forces them to do it, right?
34:11
There is, I was going to say, there was another movie, I
34:13
thought was coming out this year, but it's not, but I know
34:14
we'll be reviewing it eventually.
34:16
It's another Not Top Gun ask film, but it's from the same
34:20
director for Formula One movie. I think you'll really like that
34:23
movie when it comes out. Yes, yes, it's you were talking
34:25
about they're trying to trying to do the same thing they did
34:27
for Top Gun where they got the cameras in the cockpit, they're
34:30
trying to do the same thing for the cars, but it's pretty hard
34:32
to do it for the cars because they don't want to be too slow.
34:34
So it's been there trying to figure out issues where they can
34:37
actually get started on shooting it but it's Lot of fun?
34:42
Yeah, there's going to be a lot coming from us next year.
34:44
Mostly excited right now and future like immediate future for
34:47
God of War. I've been waiting to talk about
34:49
that. We got so much to go through
34:50
with that last of the series comes out on the 15th of this
34:54
month. Yeah, we'll probably do a little
34:57
while we're gonna we're gonna we're hoping we're yeah.
35:00
Well we're hoping and then yeah that would be an episode coming
35:03
right before the series and then what we'll do is we'll probably
35:06
do we did for Halo, right? I would say, yeah.
35:09
And hopefully this will be Yeah, a lot better than Halo.
35:13
Oh my God. So we'll see.
35:15
But yeah, there's a lot coming and I hope everyone who's here.
35:18
Has been enjoying our company over this year.
35:21
As another difficult, one Rolls by.
35:23
Hopefully next year. We'll be easier.
35:25
And everybody. Oh my God.
35:26
Hoping Yeah. And there will be hopefully a
35:29
lot of content from all the entertainment stuff to go
35:32
through and just talk about definitely TV and movies are
35:34
going to be huge next year. We got some good games coming,
35:37
got the Dead Space remake coming in January, the resin will for
35:39

35:43
mean you got Jedi Fallen Survivor Jedi, Survivor
35:46
Survivor, yeah, shut up. Yeah that's coming in March and
35:52
I'm sure we'll see some more games that are going to get
35:53
announced and popped up throughout the year.
35:55
Hopefully, something related to The Last of Us.
35:58
Ins game that they've been teasing and talking about maybe
36:01
sweet. Undersea would love to see that
36:03
again. And last of us one on PCS going
36:05
to be making its way here. Soon, one of the Wolfenstein I
36:09
want to know Wolfenstein to, I was actually just thinking about
36:11
that because I've been looking at games to replay in the New
36:14
Order and The New Colossus event like this to go through and it's
36:18
we have been waiting for that finale basically.
36:22
So if we could hurry that up, that'd be pretty nice.
36:27
Yeah, that'd be pretty fun. And sweet need some more
36:30
Wolfenstein. Need some more killing Nazis,
36:32
love it. Yeah.
36:34
Which is I'm gonna do that. That's going to be my my goal
36:37
for for this year's play more were willing.
36:39
That's right. No, not a real.
36:41
Well, I mean, unless, you know, situation permits it where I
36:44
have to do it IRL I would prefer to just keep it to a virtual.
36:48
Okay, everybody trying to your you got this smirk on your face.
36:52
Like you're trying to Gaslight me know, something I don't care.
36:59
You know, like Jeff heard that all the way Indiana went.
37:04
It's not gonna be a good night for him.
37:07
Okay, for him to end the episode off and your Tate was just
37:11
arrested in Romania. Anemic on human trafficking.
37:17
Amen. You know how?
37:19
You know, how roommate why Romania arrested them by the
37:23
Romanian Pizza chain appearing and Andrew Tate's response video
37:26
to Greta Thunderbird was reportedly used as proof for
37:29
Romanian authorities confirm his presence in the country, leading
37:32
to it as a to the rest of him and his brother.
37:35
So that's motherfucker, trolled Greta thud Berg.
37:40
Oh my gosh. Yeah.
37:41
Anyways, that's hilarious. You go Romania.
37:44
You knew he was there and you said timeout.
37:47
We see how long, maybe each other out the leaf.
37:50
