hot
boy, we got a show for you today
extra special show today
yes
welcome to castle super beast
I'm gonna reach off
Mike, and pull up a prop here
oh man
that's a good prop
I'm holding up a prop
oh man, that's a good prop, a good visual bit
its uh...
I'm holding up a t-shirt
A t-shirt
it's a very cool t-shirt
I wore it the other day, it was very nice to feel on my nipples
and uh... if you want to acquire a t-shirt
uh... such as this one
uh... you can go to tinyurl.com
slash castle super beast shirts
I mean that does work
uh... that's the best way to group things together
yes
until otherwise
and uh...
if you'd like to see the shirt
if you're on the audio you can always go to that URL
if you're on the visuals then you get to see it
look at that, that's great, what a nice shirt
you can also uh... I wore it the other day on stream, forget what stream, you just click through
last week's and you can see what it looks like when it stretches
comfortably over a man's orb
yes
speaking of
uh... stretching comfortably over
an orb
yeah
uh... okay
I've been stretched uncomfortably
oh yeah
my toilet bowl
hey
hey guys
this is what I was gonna go for before
today's a very special episode of the castle super beast podcast
today and hopefully god only today
you just might see one of us run away
in order to not shit our pants
both woolly and I having a real good bout of
being afraid to shit our pants
so I don't know what's going on with you
uh...
I got stomach stuff all the time
well I don't get on going battle
I don't get stomach stuff all the time
pretty rarely
for some reason
uh...
I went to toronto and I came back and all I got
was this horrible food poisoning, you know what you got?
what did I get?
jealous of the poop bandit
and your body is jealous now
my body is providing me with the ammo
yeah
telling me what to do
it's speaking to you in tongues
it's not great
it's been a not great couple of days
um... here's the bit
it's been worse
and
I've never known anyone to get food poisoning as often as you
but it's like
I mean it's still a handful of times over the course of my life but it
literally is all you have to do is eat one bed
yeah I know I just I've never had I've never known a person to get food
poisoning once
sorry
more than once
yeah
so I think this is what
three four
no
maybe no no yeah probably probably like four or five times
right and it's like
I've known
people that have gotten
just don't try new things
I've got I've no people that have gotten it to but it's also basically like again
it's the easiest thing to get
consume one bad meal
in some cases one bad bite
and that's all it takes you know
um...
so I've had really really bad ones and uh... this is
easily
like amongst the least offensive versions of it
but it's still not great
still not great the really really bad ones
are
uh... when you
are unable to move for a couple of days
right the really bad ones are like
um...
when I was the first time I ever got it was like you know maybe whatever ten or
eleven
um...
and like a hot dog
hot dog that just you know no no
it didn't have enough healthy rat meat in it
well the the well first of all you're talking about about super christian
household
uh-huh so you bet you believe the best believe that
those hot dogs are absolutely
not pork or or miscellaneous meat hot dogs
there's super duper chicken hot dogs okay
um...
there there's step one
step one to getting food poisoning well
chicken is the worst offender of them all and then there's frankfurter's for
beef you know whatever but
um...
basically that goes into the e-coli stuff and whatnot
and step two is vegetables
but I mean in any case it was just it was just whatever it was there was
you didn't know what was off
when you had it and then it went it went bad you know in retrospect and that was
like
that was days on the floor
right that was like days of like oh I'm you're you're gone
you're not moving you're not getting out of bed is anybody like I he's faking it
uh... no my brother got it too
oh well I mean
that'd be that'd be tough to both of you fake it like that we both had it and we
were both like
okay
bed or the floor
right so
um... you know that was the good place to be
that was the bad one I mean I got it from
um...
bad rice at a wedding
uh... right in fact of every like everyone that had the rice got it
so the nightmare occurred Jesus Christ where everyone that came in and
celebrated had to then fucking deal with that
um... really really harsh on the old people
yeah
so
food preparation is no joke definitely not it's it's one of those things that I
remember watching I watched a lot of kitchen nightmares with Gordon Ramsay
yeah and Gordon Ramsay's a cantankerous angry fellow
but the ones where he would really just lose his shit
is he'd see like chicken or like
vegetables just hanging out yeah
and he's like
people can die from this
it's not a joke
you know something as simple as that
um...
and and of course it's like
that's
whether that's down to
like the the the hired caterers being garbage or
the hired caterers being
cheap hired caterers or on the much less likely but more fun to think about evil
possibly
um... yeah so whatever that's how that went down and that was you know like the
second time or so
um... and then there was like yeah stuff is like when I was a
back at at uh... Eidos back at Squeenix
and um... I had
that salad
and I had a shrimp salad
basically and it was it was it was not it was not a shrimp salad
it was a salad with shrimps with shrimp in it
um usually I go for the chicken
this place had a really good bowl of like salad or whatever
and I went this time I was like let me just try something different
and I went for something different and it was shrimp and that shrimp
that scrimp was not ready
those prawns were passed or it maybe it was more than ready
maybe it was beyond ready maybe yeah that's it it's ready and it said passed
and it went off and uh... that was that
you know and that was a bad one that's another one where you're like
woof you're getting fucked somebody's getting fucked
um... and yeah like
uh possibly like another smaller instance in more recent years
um that cheesecake did you and
I'll never forget that packs cheesecake on the on the fucking cabinet
nah nah that's just meme status dude you were you were ill
but that's like at that at this point at this point that's just dumb meme status
like it's okay you've been poisoned enough that that one has become de-ranked
no I've no that one has just become uh uh uh it was
based off of a joke which was funny and then it just got ran into the ground to
me because you did get sick after eating it but that's not
no it anyway okay all right
I'm pretty sure like the the fact that you would have gotten sick
anyway no that's not what I'm pretty sure it was something else that I had
that weekend specifically because the amount of like
the amount of any whatever the the the amount of targeted bullshit on that
story and like for what it actually was which is literally
a piece of like do we even need to go back
no all right I was just shocked that you would be like oh no that one doesn't
count the hyperbole on that is stupid it's not it's no it was not the
cheesecake I had something else oh well was it okay I'm not sure
oh I'm pretty but I'm pretty sure that wasn't so you're sure it wasn't this but
you're when I got first of all when I got sick it wasn't the day it wasn't right
after eating it yeah okay the that weekend there was the
whole snow that like it was like okay that thing was there
yes it was on the yes it was on the table I've had stuff like that that had
not been like that that I've had at blah I've had
stuff that had been out like that that had not been that bad and when you get
food poisoning you pretty much know right away
it takes a couple hours between right it is basically between the point that you
eat the meal and the person is it what hits your stomach soon as it's your
stomach you start to know right away and it was not right away
so why would it be that it was that was the one that was the reason why that
became the bit was because that's what uh uh
Matt and Liam and whatever Matt and Liam myself
and Paige all looked at you going to eat a
three-day-old cheesecake off a fucking hotel countertop
and went no don't do that so the number keeps going up
each time well it was it was out there it was at least one day it was it was
literally up the span of hours it was literally the span of hours
right and it just got exaggerated to the entire weekend
I will text my girl and I will confirm this
anyway that was and then it takes oh she's asleep she's not gonna be able to
but it takes it usually it takes a while for that for for uh uh uh it takes
not sorry any blah opposite of that you find out pretty quickly what's
causing it as such as this time where it was like
moments after like like maybe less than an hour after the meal I may be an hour
after the meal like you're like oh that's not something's up
and then you then begins the the spiral yeah let me ask you
I don't know if this is a little too personal but is it mostly down or is it
also up I mean at first it's both okay
and then later becomes down okay because down I mean as bad as down can be
up is the worst
up is just yeah not great um
anyway um um hey I have a question for you this
has nothing to do with food point well tangentially
sure when you were younger and you know you're you're you're you're
throwing up or what do you get stomach flu or something uh did you have a
designated bucket still do how do you do that
because like I um I was in hospitals have
pans no no like like oh woolly sick again get out the puke bucket well it's
it's not a bucket it's a it's a container okay and again it is like a hot
like hospitals have these containers yeah and you need to have one because
you cannot live by the toilet for the entire time you're saying the reason I
ask is because when I was a little kid all the way up until
like it was 20 or whatever there was a single orange bucket in the house
that was like oh a pat sick get him his orange bucket
and like the sight of that thing filled me with dread
because every time I saw it I knew I was gonna throw up okay and I'm not sure
which like well I I'm convinced at some point it would cause me to throw up
well for me it's a container it's the blue it's the blue container
and I still have it and like you got it from your from your mom yeah
yeah it's it's childhood puke childhood puke bucket I mean it's it's the thing
that would sit next to your bed and that's what you need when you can't get
up and you know whatever you wash you disinfect you
do your thing and then it goes back where it goes
and then you keep it by the ready if you ever need it again but
like an actual bucket it's like yeah that's a bit much
oh no I don't like it's more necessarily it's more of a
like I'm not talking about the little pan I'm not talking about the bucket
nests of the of the scenario just like the designated vomit yeah yeah I still
have it I still have it and no negative association huh
I mean it's a lifesaver quite frankly because like I made a joke about it the
last time I was hanging out with my mom and dad and my mom was like oh yeah we
still have that you want to see it and I got like upset I was like I don't want
to look at it yeah because if I looked at it I
bet I would throw up yeah no I just to me I'm like I think
more of the awful times when it's not around
and then how it becomes a really bad run for
whatever and you never want to have to be in a situation where you have
one second to decide which place to aim it yeah
because whatever you do it's gonna be it's gonna be bad right yeah so like
there's always options now I remember being really little and having the
decision of like the floor or my sheets those that's my
decision yep yep often to uh I remember there was the
sprint and then the sprint got cut short where it's like
couldn't reach the toilet hit the sink instead
that's could be much worse than that hat that hat but that that's a bad one
though because it's like that's not going anywhere for a minute you got to deal
with that yeah but it's better than you know the floor or yeah I guess I guess I
guess um you know and it's right next to water
water is your friend yeah just again it's just you know
um and then there's like in polite company yeah right there's
pull your shirt up and you can just go for that if you have nothing and you
don't want to hit the floor or anybody around you I would rather hit the floor
anyone I'm sure um in fact I disagree with this ideal based on
most drunken people's uh etiquette it there is a that is
there is a clear okay thing yeah I guess it's like it depends I guess it
depends right like I can come around to like sneezing in your shirt or whatever
I can I can live in that world if we're all standing in a place where you can
aim it completely away from people and not on like someone's car or some
shit I would so readily throw up on someone's car
than myself the problem with the shirt catch was what do you do
right afterwards nothing absolutely nothing you you cut it off your body
no that that's why like that's why everyone that's why I think everyone's
recoiling is like there's no follow-up there's no plan
it can't you can't we could lift up your shirt above your body
you can't yeah you're fucked you just gotta pour it out onto the ground that
you're gonna pour it out onto anyway you know or hope that you can get to a
bathroom and like die just yeah just die in it yeah
no it ain't great it ain't great I don't like it when our bodies are bell
against us with their basic functions but there are times when like
I still think that's the move right okay that's that I demand
a one scenario I am at a wedding reception right on the grass
it's indoors okay right on the church in the room
where it's happening yeah no no start running
you're not but like run as fast as you can on the ground in the room you've
ruined it yeah oh you're right hey hey guys what's
going on over there oh it's just it's just
member of the bridal party slash guest whatever
mr woolly fucking vomiting all over into his suit to hold it for us have you
seen the video of you doing this of a bridesmaid just
yack him right in front of the the the ceremony yeah it's actually
relatively common people get nervous and they throw up
well um that to me is a ruiner because
you're basically looking at a stench that's not going to go anywhere
even though they have to continue with what they're doing
you can take a break and wipe it up but everybody knows what just happened
and like at the very minimum I think if you can
remove yourself drastically and extremely they can continue without the
whole place smelling like garbage you know it's a sacrifice but you're not
you're not following up with the okay so you pull out the shirt
of your of your suit it's jumping in front of a bullet
no you're not no i i want to hear the follow-up okay so you're you're in a
suit you're in a suit it's it's awful right okay it's an awful
situation that you're that you're you're because again the
poll use this the the the disrobing is
probably the worst shit in the world if not impossible
but the hope the hope at the very least in this extreme scenario
because again not always called for but in that type of scenario
i feel like i would take the bullet because then you then you you run
you get to the nearest toilet you release
well they yes i like i i want you to walk me through
piece by piece you're in a suit yes regular man's suit okay
shirt overcoat blah blah blah okay you pull the shirt
out of your you know grab the bottom pull it up pull it up into create a
little bowl okay a little bowl create a little horrible bowl
okay no time to get the shoot off now i'm gonna tell you right now
i don't know about you but the ability to aim your head straight down with
accuracy while vomiting some of it's gonna hit the floor man
probably yeah i mean yeah yeah and also
by the way have you ever been in a situation where it's come on so fast
that you didn't know it was coming on before once
because for me at the very least every time it's come on
it's been i have minutes of alert to get up and i
so let's not forget the biggest part of for vomiting for me
i have had a maximum of 45 seconds ever
and on one occasion once i had one second of of warning okay i've never
been completely unaware with like seconds to go
yeah i've always had minutes most people don't have minutes
yeah i've every time i've had it i've had minutes
and i've had the ability to get up and go yeah
but let's assume um you have like you're standing in the receptions
happening you have 10 seconds to decide and here's the thing
i guess the one like here's an exception right i think
like drunkenness like like like fucking
being wasted beer barfin yeah that's where it's like it's there but you're
fucking wasted so you're not really paying attention
okay so here so you're trying to cup it in a in a in your shirt right
okay so right you're going for that okay so there's two problems
three problems right away okay you ever try and cup water out of a stream or
like a of a sink consistency thicker than water
have you sometimes it spills out the size of your hands yes the consistency is
thicker than water okay two sometimes the consistency is
not much thicker than water it usually is okay but sometimes it's not and two
because of the way puke works the consistency is uneven
some is much thicker than water some is water yeah
the water is going to run straight through and hit the floor anyway
like you're not saving the floor at all you're only making sure
that every part of you is now covered in puke
uh the types that i've had that i'm thinking of it would be a huge difference
i want to poison you to see this play out because there's
and here's the other thing too and i was gonna say the other type is when
you have it there and you know you're going to so you have to kind of almost
induce it you know what i mean yeah those ones
in a rough for me it's usually pretty easy it's go hang out next to the toilet
for a bit and the the location and the context will do
and you're kind of you kind of know and you're just like
fuck i don't want to but i know it's right there
yeah and i know it's gonna go down so let me just i can do it now i can do it
later exactly and you just gotta fucking sit there and spit
you want to fucking hey but but but what i'm saying
right and especially given fucking recent context
right you're getting a whole lot of like
nah that's just gonna hit the surface of that yeah
and and it's gonna hit the consistency is is pretty thick
woolly i i genuinely feel that if you're gonna throw up
you should scan the room for people turn away from those people
lean as far forward as you can and throw up because
yeah like all your pukes on the floor they'll clean it up
right and we're in the wedding analogy still you know the smell whatever
like you're ignoring the part where hey where's woolly
oh he puked all over his own suit and ran away
yeah to save it instead of to stretch a little sick he's back now it's an
extreme case right i don't think this saves anything i
think it i think it would i really think it would
based on the types of vomits that i've had
based on the amounts right and i do i remember my cousin oh my god
my cousin one time had one that was like there was no fluid
it was well there had to be a no but it was like it was a contained
drop that hit the ground and stayed together
like i understand that seems like your cousin's unwell
because that's because i and that's the thing is like is like
there's all kinds right and boozy ones are alcohol
so that's just the fluid coming back up if you're barfing beer
and and shots then it's just alcohol coming back up
yeah your body doesn't want it if it's food yeah you're getting a lot of food
and that's what i'm trying to make the difference here today i'm not barfing
the same shit that you had when you got drunk that one time
no it's a meal a i've been half half for liquid slash foods i'm aware but even
food yeah this is this is getting even food barfs have
consistent i don't want to i don't want this conversation
to go into this detail it's pretty fucking horrible and gross
but if you're pulling the questions out in this way
i have to answer them you can't because i because i if you haven't had the same
types then you're not i think that i think
that choosing to barf all over yourself
might be the worst solution to a bad problem i have ever heard in my life
like the thickness of the sweater that i have right now
yeah is way thicker than a fucking
dress shirt you're coming up off you're coming up off a vest too
probably but you know uh every suit well if you have
time to take your vest off you don't have to use the vest
time to take your vest off they're both on you but i i'm wearing a suit with a
vest each time anyway but we're dealing with we're dealing with a vest on top
of a shirt regardless but that that's changing the
that's moving the goalpost um the point i'm the point i'm making is
the sick type consistencies are a lot of
chunk yeah and a lot less fluid am i am i weird that like talking about this
kind of stuff doesn't unsettle my stomach at all
no i can i can have this conversation because i'm living in this world right
now yeah but i know a lot of people are yeah some
people are like throwing up right now some people are skipping past this
conversation yeah waiting for whatever else to happen
yeah well in which case like skip two two hours forward and we're still talking
about barf or we've actually just cycled back to it
it's the barf episode they never stopped i'm sorry
but yeah if you're but i'm like and we've all been there
everyone listening to this podcast has had to vomit and at least one of those
vomits has gone bad like i assure you it's not a completely
unreasonable decision to make if you're in a situation where you're like
i need to minimize the explosion of this grenade
right it's jumping on the grenade and if me having my suit ruined and being
removed from that life right
for that you know in that immediate moment for the sake of like
well that like it's a bad moment versus a fucking janitor has to come in
i just don't think you're gonna save as much
as you think no i here's the problem you're you're
because i the the leak through i'm telling you it's not a leak okay right
the the the what you're actually what you should be talking about and the
danger point that you've completely ignored if i'm going to argue my own
all right all right is is the the walk
oh yeah it's the transport oh yeah right a single jostle
and you've now made the process way worse that's the danger zone so
you're trying to keep your head down probably not be seen
with it all over your fucking beard and and what not and you're holding you
you're holding it up and you're trying to contain you gotta hold you gotta go
hold your fists together yeah because if you are too spread apart
you're leaking you're spreading you're you're risking back leak
you know so you can't have that you don't want to trail
and we got it we got a good we got a good comment in here that it's going to be
easier for the janitor overall if it was all in one spot instead of
dripping all over the like path to the bathroom
i mean at which point you if you're getting up and you
it's all if it if it happens to clear everything and it's not on your shoes
or whatever it's all in that one spot then i guess yeah that is there too
you don't want to leak you don't want to leak it's gonna leak you don't want to
leak it's going to leak you have an unrealistic view of the
competence level of your shirt
what it leak yeah dude it's gonna leak for sure
if you for fucking sure what if you what if you really like grab the sides
and have the gravity then the then the water part of it is going to soak
right through the bottom and leak out the bottom straight through whatever
clothes i'll tell you what too like at the point
at the point that that occurs as well if you have
like i don't know let's say access to uh your girlfriend's purse okay
right if you could grab a if you could grab the purse
right i would i would rather vomit all over myself thank you
right thank you is expensive if you can contain
into anything nearby or reinforce right so let's say you're stuck with the
shirt and then you're like all right now the
movement begins we're stuck where we are what can i do
right is there anything around such as this purse
that you can hold underneath to create a
a a a a a a vacuum this is such this is a astonishingly bad idea
perhaps a shoe shoes are shoes are bad i knew somebody who vomited in someone's
shoes once it was bad because it was their shoes
did they deliberately aim at their shoes no they just needed to get away and
vomit and ended up grabbing a random pair of
shoes in a party and vomiting into those shoes
only to post vomiting discover they had actually picked up their pair of shoes
well that's justice then it's fair it sure is that's good karma
i would hope i would grab my own pair of shoes somebody else's
could you imagine if someone did that to you yeah
would you even how would you not just die from anger
well i would laugh first because that's fucking crazy and then i would walk
home with no shoes
i would not even attempt to retrieve the shoes
yeah sure i i my point is is i don't want i'm not putting that on for me it
would be like this is what i get for going outside i'm not putting that on
anybody i'm grabbing my own shoe you could replace but you'll throw up in
your girlfriend's purse well i mean sure i don't have a purse
so if you had showed up to the party with no shoes
then it would have been fine to throw up in other people's shoes no no no no no
no no i'm saying in the situation in the situation where you're
sitting in a church i can't and the wedding is happening
and the difference is the purse or the floor
why just throw up in the manger or whatever like if you can throw up in
anything that can be picked up and removed from the room
that's way better than than fucking up the whole wedding willy
i want you to run this story by Steph afterwards and see what she thinks that
you will do in her purse will do i don't think i think she'll be like no you
peek all over yourself i mean whatever replace everything in the
purse that's fine no no what is that fancy
blush that only was sold under a yeah we get more who cares
that's oh it's easy for you to say that willy
it's easy for you to say that she doesn't use that much makeup anyway
sure i know but whatever but like whatever sacred spot
it's replaceable it's replaceable
the difference i the container to remove from the room
the safe containment versus the smell and the ruining of that moment
so here's the thing that kind of strikes me how does that how does that not this
this makes sense the thing that kind of strikes me about this
and it might be just me
but you keep mentioning the smell
vomit has a smell oh fuck well here we go
here we go then the worst part of vomit is the smell
because i don't think i've ever smelled it well this is now
where the layer of the conversation goes somewhere else entirely
when vomit goes somewhere in a room that room is gone it is
it is a fucking bomb it is a grenade of
of so i'm gonna point out the smell is what
makes other people vomit i thought it was the view of other people vomiting
you smell it it hits you and that sense remember
memory is tied strongest to smell yeah that smell
that's what brings you back so here's the thing though i have
i think people that are people that are confused
and you should know this yeah you have a terrible smell
fucking terrible sense of smell well now we're
now we're astonishing now we're operating with different parameters
because the sense of urgency for you is just the visual
wall and other and the and and the horror yeah right but what you're not
like what you're not factoring in is you can't stand in that room to have the
rest of the ceremony anymore yeah but woolly by that token
it's out of your mind once it's exited your body in the vicinity the smell's
still there it's it's going to be there but it's
not anywhere near as strong if it doesn't hit the ground and
rise right you know the whole flush toilet thing
yeah right it's like that where it's the difference between
closing the lid flush in the toilet versus having it out in the open
and like taking that process for the janitor to come down
and the whole thing to start it's in the air at that point man the containment
is a huge factor in mitigating the smell i want to say that
that your your your mentality on this is noble
but i don't think it would be as effective as you think it would be
because the actual scent like spreading to the room
even after you get someone to come in and wipe it down with all the chemicals
yeah and whatever well then you got chemical then you got chemical smell
which is great on top of barf now chemical smell kills it
nah man nah dude you're not i have i have you don't
if you don't if you don't know what the smell of vomit is
you don't know how bad this fucking heaven a
astonishingly fucking terrible sense of smell it's very bad
and and the risk of other people barfing
is not zero yeah well i mean okay so here's the question here's my question
for you woolly about how you're gonna feel
let's say you're gonna throw up right and you pull your shirt out
and you start vomiting into your shirt right
okay so you've succeeded and then you look up
to see that upon watching and smelling you
someone else has just vomited all over the floor yeah
thereby completely negating any possible you did your best
the world didn't work out the way okay but here's my question
yeah do you just then drop your hands and let it hit the floor probably
and just go ah fuck it probably at that point
you know i tried like you you really did your best
and someone else didn't someone else did it and now it's all the same thing
right because once it's off it's off yeah when the when the
it is how do i describe it it's a it's a putrid smelling
of sickness yeah right and it's not like like like butts and poops smell
like whatever like sulfur bad you know and and specifically it smells like
sulfur sure and piss smells like you know like like urea
yeah the ammonia the ammonia that's it um
right and and barf is coming in with like the flavor of
every time you've ever been sick yeah that that little
like thing that you get inside your throat inside your nose the taste a
little just all those bad burps that hit the back of
your throat and you're like that wasn't normal that was too much
something else came up there yeah right the acidity
the acidity is by far the worst you can smell the acidity
yeah and it gets you and it and it just stays
it's so bad it's so so bad that i'm like
don't let that happen you know um that's a ruiner
that's in it that's a pure ruiner and yeah if you're in a place where it
doesn't fucking matter anyway if you're at a party then
yeah party stir up on some person's floor and also if you're at a party again
you're we're talking about alcohol right yeah but if it's a it if it's a like
sick food bar i have i have a follow-up question here
and this is just my own curiosity as to your opinion
you're at a party and the parties let's say the 10th floor
okay you're not going to make it to the bathroom
which is more socially acceptable the floor
or off the balcony oh Jesus okay okay hold on because there's a dice roll
okay hold on a second front balcony balcony that would overlook
a pedestrian area not alleyway not alleyway
because i'll hit an alleyway yeah in a hard hit a balcony alleyway
i'll hit it all and i'll i'll i'll no i'll lean out a window yeah
into an alleyway in a heartbeat yeah um front yeah street no i can't
okay what if the parties in a place that's really high up so you know they
won't be able to like get to you like it's like you know
that's not the point yeah it's not it's for me isn't it
no i can't do it i can't do that that's that's fuck see here's the thing i would
want to do it but i wouldn't be able to do it couldn't do it because there's like
what if i puked out there and like i it was like a punch
a vomit to like an old lady walking her dog or something yeah
yeah certain heights that is lethal it's that's not true
that was a lie what if that was what if it's what if it's off what if it's off
the top of the burge califa
then what would probably not hit the crowned in any discernible
what if it freezes in midair no it would probably get blown about so much
that there'd just be a light mist mist that hits like a very large area
yeah probably because it's it's so high up that the winds and stuff and
you'd be you know what if you puked out the window of the burge califa you
would probably just have it blown right back in your face
but if any and if anything was solid coming up that's still a
a risk now birds will get it before it hits the ground
no that birds love that that's solid that solid thing
and let's say that starts to harden and freeze up yeah now what
now you have a projectile on now and that wind blows it
and that piece of whatever is now solid and it and you know the friction
chipped it off so now it's a spike and that's that's a death
that's a potential death on your hands i don't know man i don't think
i don't know in the party is rough yeah but out the window onto people
live in their lives but it's possible that
how about how about this compromise do you remember compromise
do you remember us walking down the street of
sherbrooke near the vantome metro like five years ago and a water balloon hit
the ground behind us i will never forget it it was not five years ago it wasn't
it was a much longer time way longer than that it was like eight years
years ago and i still talk about it to this day
to this day to this day i was telling somebody
um this just popped into my mind i was telling someone about that
this weekend yeah because we were talking about how horrible toronto gets
and my friend was and and and my friend told me about
how he got egged yeah he just got egged walking around toronto for no reason
and uh i i brought up the fact that uh yeah one time walking around
uh just a water balloon regular water balloon
full water blue what was it what was it water
yeah it was the liquid was dark look like water it was low evening
so it was it was hard to identify sunsetty but it looked
like it hit the stick it hit the sidewalk and the sidewalk
looked darker than it would if it were just water
and i remember being like what's up with that and yeah and i it was
i was walking in the back so it almost hit me
but like i still had like a photo clearance but like you know almost
and then the most confusing thing is that we all stopped
looked at that and then started scanning the skies all the all the rooftops yep
no viable rooftops nothing include the one right next to us was
it was an abandoned building like there was no window you could have leaned out
of everything was closed i i think
i think because it fell from the sky it definitely did not come from
a car no anything like that right i think
it's a it's a fucking mystery but i i i suspect that somebody had
a crazy ass slingshot oh and was just doing it
and from a pretty crazy distance away like you know a block or two over some
just slingshot at something in a random direction yeah
right because it came it came down on it was it was so weird and it
couldn't have been any buildings near us
it's right next to the overpass too so there were no whole high buildings in
that area i'll never forget it was the weirdest
fucking thing you know and you're like fucking cowards come at me
right there were no cowards but there was none none to be seen it was very
clear that no one was around us to have launched it
no no snickers no closing windows no yeah if it was dumbass kids on the roof
next to us right they had somehow climbed up onto the
roof of the abandoned building you would hear laughing for sure
they would at least stick their head out enough to see the impact
yeah nothing right because that you know one throws it and
stops looking and see oh did it hit someone i don't know why
would you go through the exercise to not see the fruits of your labor
yeah so that makes no sense i'm thinking it was a crazy
ass slingshot that that fucking came from
like across a street yeah or something wild
that's the only theory the only way that makes sense can't imagine anything
else i think about that like every couple weeks oh yeah
oh yeah it stays a proper fucking unsolved mystery stays with me
and you have to think about what kind of slingshot they would need for that
because the slingshot theory i only started circulating a couple years ago
you can you can throw those a couple hundred yards man well i've seen that
you see those videos of like the person that like gets the
fucking uh goalposts yeah just pulls a thing back and
lets it rock and you're like oh the that's that's travel so
someone with one of those or any any kind of any kind of like
verticality to it you know yeah because it would have had to clear the nearby
buildings yeah that's my theory on it my answer
that's a good that's a pretty decent working theory
i've spent way too much of my life thinking about that moment
and then what could have happened there like real talk it's stuck with me
fucking hard and the fact that it was the liquid was so dark
if it was just water that'd be one thing but the liquid was dark
i've had water balloon fights i've had i've had fucking
you know we like at church we we had a couple of those
and like improvised water balloon fights okay yeah
right plastic bag in it you have to whip somebody's super hard with that
yeah well what you do what you do i remember i i was i was teaching my
brother about this but you you you put the water in the bag
and then you like tie it like real tight with the with the air like
in like a you know so it's a nice and then you whip it and then it pops on
somebody and then it like spreads so it's like it's almost like a
mace yeah it's like a water mace or a water
flail that sounds way more brutal than a water balloon
i mean it it it's not but you if you get him in the head or something then like
yeah gary she's i'm sure i talked about this before but do you
do you ever know a kid that had one of those band super soakers
no i i saw the commercials for the giant fucking
uh the sumo wrestler one yeah but i don't know about like
there was one i remember i forget i forget the name of it but it was this
fucking thing anybody who grows up at the time probably saw this thing
my friend had this it was really long it was like a rifle
and it was gray with the orange tip and purple like globes on the on the back
the spf fucking fuck yourself and it held a lot of water and the way the
pressure worked i don't remember but it would hit you and it would sting and it
would leave a mark it would it hurt it fucking hurt
children and uh i'm sure some people cps 2000
it was it was it too i was gonna say the 5000 yeah
this it was the cps 2000 let me just make sure the sumo the sumo one
the commercial was a kid pumping it up and holding back a sumo wrestler
and you saw the dent on his skin as the water was spraying it to him
yeah this it was definitely the cps 2000 and if i remember correctly but i might
not there was a fucking one that came out
after that that was advertised as being twice as strong
that did not last the eye remover well because do you remember
the way super soaker manufactured their shit back in the day
every single one that came out the commercial said
that it was twice as strong as the one before
yeah and it was an exponential power increase and the cps line
because the super soakers were always better than normal water guns because
they used water air pressure yeah whereas normal water guns just
fucking jizzed out some stupid fucking flops yeah
and and the cps line like you got to compress those pumps
right so it was more than just pressure it was like
it well i mean it was pressure but like it really you get that
and you'd hear how you'd hear how much the water didn't want
to leave in there and i remember when you'd empty out your your container
in the transparent ones you could still see the mist
forming on the edge of the glass or not the glass of the plastic
because like it was compressing the air so fucking tight
you know okay so my friend did not have the 2000 he must have had the 1000
or something like that because the 1000 hurt like shit and then the 2000 came
out and was labeled as twice as powerful and it didn't last yeah
it was taken off the market because if you got hit in the eye you would go
blind you're gone yeah absolutely and it was all about
distance was at first bullshit was about distance
first it was about distance because the because the
the the supersokers would be able to aim accurately from really far away
and then it just became not though that power
the impact you know and like and it was a very clear transition especially by
the time the cps line came out because yeah fucking you were firing at these
from one foot away i mean bat like the first fucking
supersokers were just way better than average water guns
yeah way better and average water guns would be
garbage by the time you got to the last couple shots yeah terrible
flaccid you know but these were long and strong
and you fucking kept them going yeah hurt your children with this shit
yeah man and and and it doesn't even take like
like you're gonna get hit in the eye yeah for random spray shots are gonna get
you a normal water gun in the eye you go ah fuck
ah i got water in my you know it's not great yeah yeah yeah those things were
those were intense it was that was an era that will never come again
which is the era of like laughably dangerous children's products
well like i don't think any we any fucking did you ever know a kid whose
dad had lawn darts uh no the most lethal object to ever exist
we've also lived uh beyond the era of home uranium mercury kits
yeah so to be honest we'll never know how bad it could possibly get
literally home nuclear fucking kit to learn how
uh nuclear energy works oops here's your own
little bit of enriched uranium oops please enjoy
i will
you know yeah so so hey listen we've been able to talk
about all this crap for 52 minutes and neither of us have
vomited or shit our pants and this the topic started as a warning you
were going to long windedly get to yeah which was that we might get up and go
use the bathroom yeah we might but i'm three i'm three
days i'm not long way yeah i am i'm three days past it now
so like it's on its tail end the dregs or whatever but it's still like yeah so
the pain is mostly gone um the nausea is mostly gone
like Tylenols keep the headaches fine for a few hours
but like my body is not yet done uh
drying itself out so speak yeah you know uh you got better soon buddy yeah
you need your fluid you need your fluid you know why you need your fluid
if hey anybody at home electrolytes too who
fucking would throw up and you would get frustrated with your mom or dad
being like drink water and you're like no the water will make me throw up
you you want to have something to throw up the dry
is the worst human experience that exists pretty painful you can feel your
insides twisting and contorting it's so bad it's not great
um tell you what i did though uh when i when i got when i hit when that bad
food hit yeah um well i couldn't do anything at
the moment but the the next morning uh went
right to walmart found out that they do sell activated charcoal pills
oh does it help uh charcoal is really good in it depends on the type of uh so
i've talked about drinking charcoal before yeah uh to which uh everyone was
like what and then i discovered it was a totally real thing yes and uh
so depends on whether it's a bacterial or like viral type infection
bacterial the helps i assume um it because it kills the living the virus
nothing's gonna help it kills the living yeah right um in that way
so uh yeah it usually if you can get to it pretty quickly
it'll do a good job of like stopping that irritation right almost almost
immediately okay really really fast that's lucky um and again the story i
told before was about how i called my mom insane
with her dumb home remedy of like not even home remedy over with her like
because i was just one of them like is this one of these
like yeah ridiculous like church story remedy things you're going to bring
there's like not it fucking worked yeah no it's the thing
i brought it up to my mom so yeah i'm like all right it's just it's an old person
thing that we are you going to use the word toxins when you're talking to me
you know um but then uh it turns out that yeah not only
does work works extremely well and then once it's once it does that
the garbage is still in your body and then it's just got to spend the rest of
its time getting out yeah but you can get rid of a lot of
that pain right off the bat so uh i went and grabbed some of those in addition
to like a bunch of other fucking to grab any crystals i didn't grab any
crystals no magnets didn't uh didn't catch any of that at the
pharmaceutical section um do you believe they fucking sell
those magnetic wristbands that like pharma pre yes that's bullshit they
also sell uh water that had been sitting in medicine
oh oh that has the memory the memory of being medicine
anyway um it's and it'll never be at least the at least with the pills it's
like it's like a it just goes into your system and then does its thing
like the idea of mixing it into water and drinking is just too weird for most
people because yeah it makes your teeth look black your tongue is black and then
that's a whole thing it's a whole thing but fuck me if it doesn't
save your life also it you can't shake the idea of like i'm eating dirt
yeah but it's and it has no flavor it doesn't taste like anything
right it water tastes like water but like you you will chug it the next
time you're in pain with how fast it kicks in
you know um don't don't knock the charcoal
um but yeah we did not talk about our weeks so
i guess we can do that i mean a good portion of your week has actually been
being violently ill it really it was not as violent as it could have been but
well i mean hey small miracles right yeah uh what i do at my week uh i
pussed around i played some video games uh
i don't have much to say about league this week other than
it finally gave me an experience i have legit maybe i'm a masochist or an
idiot but i remember the golden age of xbox live
where some dude have the toxins finally kicked in
highest shit and had his baby crying in the background call me every
name under the sun and be a bad teammate as i just
giggle at how stupid he is have you hit blight town
oh boy oh boy you know it's not as it's not as toxic as i as i expected you
were first at first you were saying you expected a lot and then i was expecting
you said you didn't encounter any i didn't encounter much because
it is it is a process it's a it's a so one they did they did clean up the game
a little bit by uh by default the other team is muted
you have to turn that off so that saves you a little bit
and now at the end well that means you're looking for it yeah
you turn that off so you can see it um and then you know
at the end of the game there's only three accommodations you can give your
team oh good shot calling good leadership stayed cool under
pressure or really friendly gg like that's the old it's all positive
shit you not vote you cannot vote right which sometimes you do because wow
everyone in the smash was an asshole um and they have a report
function that is very it's like were they afk were they feeding were they uh
feeding feeding it so you gain a lot you gain experience every time you die to
an enemy sorry they gain experience every time you die
oh they were giving the enemies so the the the worst thing you can do
when you're like fuck this game is just walk your ass into death
every time over and over and over which makes the guy
unstopably stronger and then they you lose okay it's a it's a form of afk
griefing that's active it's it's weird yeah just
just walk to your doom so like as as opposed to just quitting the game it
would be easier to win the game if you left
this is making sure your team is gonna win that's right he's gonna lose
lose yeah uh so it's all positive but then the
other thing is like okay so you know you level up in these games and they have
the hidden matchmaking things so you only really start getting into
real players a couple dozen matches in and a couple
dozen matches in all of a sudden it was one night to the next
all of a sudden just oh you're so mad oh you're so mad
wait do people do people seriously threaten
mid or feed is that yes is that a thing so woolly if you don't let woolly i'm
gonna pull up i'm gonna feed woolly i'm gonna pull up a
screenshot off my twitter okay
what a dickish thing oh it's it's unbelievable so
so when you when you uh sign up for your rank match right it's not you know
you're you're signing up ideally you pick two roles that you'd like to play
right there's top middle bottom and then support and jungle
and when you load into your uh draft match your ranked match it will assign
you the role it will say you've been assigned
the top lane you've been assigned the but whatever right
right away arguments of fuck i don't want to play top
the game made me play top i don't want to does anyone want to switch
no because everyone else got what they wanted
they're like i don't want to play top and then the it takes like three four
minutes of everyone to get their loadouts and choose their things
and then it counts down matchmaking has been cancelled because another player
left the game you get that like a couple times
a night for sure right but then my favorite my favorite
is people who they're like i'm gonna play this role
i don't care what the game tells me i'm gonna play
or whatever one else is gonna play i'm i'm gonna
i'm gonna play the role i want which leads to situations such as the one
yeah i think i saw it you saw that one
i'm a guy loading in going what the fuck are you doing pat i'm jungle i don't
know no you're not i'm jungle and then he leaves the game like that
which incurs a huge matchmaking penalty like a really really long like you
can't play the game and guarantees a loss for everybody
right but my favorite my favorite by far by far
is the other team shit these games are long they're 25 to 45 minutes long
and can have turnarounds and the shit talk starts at the 26 minute mark
and it will continue all the way up until that person loses
and then in the post match screen you get gems like well we only lost because
you scored more you you guys suck we and it's like
just pure a post match has oh wait no you've turned off the
no post match always has a chat room the group always okay
so people salt can fucking go and it is fucking incredible
to watch the the person shit talking for almost an hour
suddenly retreat into you guys are trash it's my favorites
it's my favorite form of scrub quote which is you are trash and bad at this
game in brackets guy who lost guy who lost yeah
and i i almost never got angry xbox live messages back in the
street fighter four days really yeah and i won some matches
and sometimes you know um i wonder why that is i i don't know
i i you know my my memories of toxic behavior are all
really old they're all like uh a fucking
david defeat and counter strike and you know like 1998 1999 2000
i don't know how i don't know how deep you got into them trenches but
um there is you get i feel like you get more
the further you get in before you hit like
um i don't know whatever you would call like
a legit player level quote unquote yeah well it keeps moving
yeah right so whatever that is when it starts is going to be different after
a different time it keeps moving but there's always a magic sweet spot where
you're past the herd and it started to thin out
and you're into the players who get the game and people who have enough ego
to think that they're they should be winning all the time
yeah and that's where those messages and you know i played i played modern
warfare i played fucking um battlefield on console on the xbox
and more often than not i didn't get toxic shit i got annoying people
i got like little kid you know just being annoying or a guy playing his music
too loud so you can't so you can't pick your
role unless you switch with someone else yeah if you want if you want if you
say because what happens is sometimes but you can do a matchmaking preference
yeah you do matchmaking preference but it's not guaranteed because the i mean
the desires yeah if everybody wants the same right
so what you can do is you can load in and go hey i don't want i'm not very good
as top does anyone want to go top and say the guy who's playing mid goes
i'm i could go top yeah right and that happens sometimes some people
say um hey hey i have never played this role ever
can someone please god switch with me and then they'll switch
so when i when i when i imagine a version of this game a MOBA in my head
yeah there is three lanes yeah and there's a middle one that is
different from the other two yeah um but aren't the other two like a left and
right or are there is a really a difference between top and bottom
the basic deal is that it's uh the MOBA map is a diamond more or less
and the reason why the mid lane is so preferable is because all the really
high damage characters get to go live in the night yeah but why would left or
right slash top or bottom because they're longer
uh different from each other oh different from each other well the the
top and bottom one are about like 50 longer than the middle one
sure the difference between the top and bottom one is that
the top one is next to this objective which is the baron
and the bottom one is next to a different objective called the dragon
okay just a different gameplay that those come into play at different
minute marks okay um so one of the things is that
the of the usual game plan is that two people go on the bottom
because the dragon spawns in at like five minutes like super super early
and it gives you a huge team-wide buff for the whole game if you kill it
so it's important that your team gets it so you usually have two v two down
there and one v one up top and one v one in the
middle and then one guy roaming around um so you get these weird dynamics where
hey i want to play support well supports are supposed to go bottom
to support the the the the bottom lane adc character
adc oh my god it's the worst term ever out of all the moba terms i've ever
heard adc is the worst term ever and it's so bad
that they're trying to get rid of it like the game is trying to kill the term
it stands for attack damage carry and it's insanely old and attack damage means
the the guys that do mostly do damage auto attacks
and it's called a carry because they used to be or at least
it's to degree r they would scale infinitely over the course of the match
so if your attack damage carry got really good
then by the end they can just solo the whole other team
they're like they're gonna win they're gonna carry for you are you describing
dps kind of
but the middle is also dps so okay tanks are usually top yeah
oh yeah dude the terminology is is a it's a different language
it's it's it's it's fucking crazy um but you get you go support
and it is kind of a fascinating how
regardless of game if there is a character that is a support
or healer in a game they are on the bottom of everyone's shoes
in the in the the general consensus why'd i die
supports fall how come we didn't get that supports fall
how come we lost the game supports fall and
like it's astonishing because every failure
could have been prevented if you healed me or or moved me out of the way
cleansed my stun away yeah and it's not and it's not and it's not yeah
and uh if you're a pseudo if you're like like Zarya for example
you still eat that grief and the funniest thing is that i played a bunch
of matches as support and a couple in the bottom
and what i discovered is that the vast majority of support players
are way better than the characters they're explicitly
teamed with who they're supposed to save and protect and all that
there was there was that comic uh of the mercy
like where it's like where i think it was something along the lines of like
how other players see the the the healers yeah like
heal slight yeah it's just like flying around like yes here whatever you need
and then like according to the healers part of you it's just like they're
smoking jesus fucking christ i hate you people
zap zap zap how about you not fucking zap keep
dying you fuck zap you know uh it's it's it's cool to me to
see that these awful parts of the way games work are totally universal all
you need is the roles yeah um and it's the same as it would
be in 14 or destiny or any other game i played is that certain
archetypes will attract certain types of players
in the vast majority of my games the guy who goes
top lane is chill and will not shit talk anyone
the guy in mid way more likely to be a piece of shit
the guy going bottom almost guaranteed to be a piece of shit
like it's crazy and it's so fucking funny because most of the grief that
i've gotten is from your team
i had a i had a guy scream at me for an entire 45 minute
match because i stole a kill from him in a team game
so i i i suspect based on your description
right i have a theory uh what if what you're seeing
is remember how we talked about like yeah you got a team to blame right yeah
so what you're seeing is the moment a rage quit would happen
except there is no rage quit happening rage quits
don't happen so what you're seeing is the forced
continued interface yeah it's it's fucking fast someone
who would have already ego checked out it's it's so the matchmaking penalty for
quitting is bad it's it's aggressive so no one
quits games and because it's dedicated server and everyone's
gonna like if there's no confusion as it would be in a purely versus game
so you have people that hate you yeah that hate you yeah being forced
to keep playing a losing game yeah that's gonna make people
fucking mad oh yeah and and exactly and like the point at which
all chill was lost if it were a different type of game
they could have just exited so there's two but that's gone now
that's the craziest part there's two there's the moment chill would have
been lost regardless right and then there's the second
part because at the 15 to 20 minute mark you're able to type in
slash surrender and before 20 minutes it needs to be
unanimous and after 20 minutes it has to be a majority
but if that one guy who's real mad is the only one who wants to surrender the
game he's now stuck in the game for another 20 minutes
and that's when the second possible chill is
like decimated and that's when they go really crazy
and start screaming about how we're wasting their time
and how it's going to be a loss and that's when they feed
because they're just trying to make the game
and faster
they're and like and what's the penalty for reporting somebody for feeding
if you if if you get enough reports for the same behavior
in a row you get a ban and the ban can be temporary or permanent
what this creates however so League of Legends is a free game
right yep and bans are handed out regularly for toxic
behavior and all this stuff make a new account but what this means
is that that that first ranking that first tier
is filled with all the banned assholes who got new accounts
and it is just like this fucking miasmic pool
and that's the new player experience it's the new player experience so when you
said you didn't run into anyone toxic the first little while because then I
was playing with brand new players and once I got good
enough to win a couple games I was being matched with people who
were of a similar skill level or whatever but who had played the game and
gotten banned maybe interesting so the game records all sorts of
shit it records your apm it record all these secret stats
you know and tries to detect smurfs and we'll just
push them up but you hit that moment before you get to rank play
because you got to go one to thirty before you're even allowed to play
ranked and once you get close to when from that 20 to 30
that that in between right before you hit ranked
that's when the scum starts to come out and it's scum
it is scum I love it have you ever had have you had any matches where
somebody was in that tilt and then try to surrender but then you won
yes what happens they leave the instant the match is over
like you go to the match complete screen and they're already gone
nothing to say nothing to say and it's like the fuck you
you give everybody the commendations and then you hit that report person
and there's reporting for verbal abuse negative attitude
griefing afk cheating etc ever get an apology
nope never never um and it's like the system works because if
you're a real asshole you get to the end and every member of your teammate will
report you and I assume that when the
moderation thing comes out and comes every person in this game
reported this person for being an asshole yep they go look at it and they
go oh what what a fucking I have been called every name under the sun at this
point all of them including the non-applicable
racial ones can you queue ranked with friends
totally and it's a terrible idea it's a terrible idea the matchmaking system
in these team games has a problem that does not exist in solo games because and
that is hey I'm gonna I'm gonna queue up for
for ranked or whatever right and then it's like
all right I got queued up with people
approximately close to my match making skill right
hey I'll play with my buddy Justin okay he hasn't played in a couple years
but you know he used to play a lot all right we're gonna get ranked up with
ideally another party too and some randoms
it's a little uneven but okay I'm gonna play with three of my friends that
stopped playing league of legends five years ago
okay well guess what happens you're getting
matched up against essentially pros with tens of thousands of matches
okay well I'm not I'm not throwing a condition on who your friends are
I'm just saying in general you don't have to solo queue
you don't have solo queue good in ranked you can solo and I think you can do oh
and I think there's a new thing they're doing where you can do a team of five
and it's like a tournament because um solo queuing
in in overwatch was just cancer yeah and uh yeah you know what you know
yeah you know you know the feeling I played apex yeah I know the deal oh my
god apex yeah I know the deal apex is so so it's it's
go get your friends or don't apex is so good but it's so bad
like and by don't I mean don't play yeah get your friends or don't play league
totally hits that point because the longer you play in the higher you go
the longer the matchmaking time becomes so yeah I was talking longer you play
and the higher you go the longer the matchmaking becomes because there's less
people there's less people that are that good
yeah so once you hit diamond uh people are telling me that the the
diamonds the the top 45 minute queue time
for a 45 minute match but it means that if somebody gets if you get into that
game and somebody starts to feed because
fuck you that's the worst you have to wait wait
wait stop league of legends that's not true
one of the most popular things ever I'm wrong that's insane
that's what I was told I was told that once you get up to like diameter
challenger you can get long queue time that's insane
that's yeah I'm like what plat two is like five minutes okay well fuck me then
okay fine like I'll take that like like people are sitting on a loading screen
for an hour to get a game out that's I'm gonna go blame that one guy that told
me that wonderful like this is not min trying to get a
all the trophies in in senko no ronde well he
I don't I don't want to talk about how men plays games
that's not a human being way to play games
he's not normal when he plays the games it's a very unique perspective oh that's
a good way to phrase it and I'm I'm I'm open to the the hearing
about the experience that he has going into games because
he's looking for oftentimes the complete opposite of what I'm looking for
and uh even in games where
it is not about like the grind he will find a way he will find a
grind find a grind yeah and I'm running away from
the grind when it's uh
but the grind is a bad way to describe it I'm looking for the
the whatever you know me it's the same shit you're looking for fun
no but like I'm down I'm down with a grind where the elements coming at me
change yeah because I have to adapt I'm not down with a grind where it's the
same element yeah what that makes whatever
you know we've had this discussion yeah yeah but that's that's
playing the game versus the grind yeah like the grind is necessitated by its
repetition right I'm not going to kill a slime in the
grass to hit level 99 I will kill 99 slimes of different
colors in the grass yeah if each one comes at me with a different
thing mm-hmm I'll spend the same time I'll learn the
99 slimes I'll say enjoy Death Stranding because yeah you're
going to grind some shit well no no I that's not a hard fast rule
I'm just describing my preferences obviously we're human beings I bend a
little bit one way or the other depending on we're not human beings
well they were cartoons we are cartoons but um
you know I have there's obviously exceptions in cases where like that
game is not at all like that but I still enjoyed it but
for the most part as a as a as a quick summary of events yeah
min finds a way so to close out the I guess this week
week's league whatever um your advice according to apex for
I think it's the one that it stuck with me the hardest of play with your friends
or don't play at all is has actually served me really poorly with league
and it has entirely to do with my personality
when I play with my buddies my buddies we're usually getting matched up against
stronger players and they kind of get bummed out
and I feel pressure to do well so I don't let my pals down you know I want to
stall win the game and it's kind of a negative experience
when I play by myself completely by myself
I don't give a fuck about these people I don't care if we fucking lose
and if they get pissed at me I'm giggling all the way to the end
it's hilarious I think it might be because I'm
an asshole I have a I have a sneaking suspicion
that I I get more enjoyment out of people going on tilt
than the average person and I don't have to tilt them myself either
like I can just coexist you said that ping systems in the game
it is it's it's all right you can ping uh just click on
a thing that says hey target this or you can click on you can say
there are enemies missing this area is dangerous
I'm on my way to this location or for fuck's sake please help me
which is really all you need you also ping on your uh on your task on your
your your abilities to say like hey guys my alt's gonna be up in 10 seconds
stuff like that yeah yeah you don't need to talk
how often do you run into someone who's like not full-on toxic crusader yeah
but like like but the passive aggressive aura
is never always full no passive aggressiveness you don't get the person
who just scoffs at like the decisions you make no
okay no it's it's it's zero to a hundred right away
okay it's never like hey why are you using that
maybe it would be better for this you know it's always like what the fuck are
why are you feeding oh my god top is so fed we're gonna lose
because top is so fed who went top this terminology
top is fed top is fed as fuck woolly
okay yeah all right it's stupid it's really dumb
so let me tell you a little story that i told on my stream the other day
about terms so there's your jungler who goes and
kills enemies in the brush right and uh they this guy starts to yell and
he goes hey hey support support hey bot hey
hey can i please get a leash and i go leash
question mark because i don't know what that is and he just starts pinging
this spot on the map like crazy like crazy okay and
i walk over and i'm there and the bottom guy is there
and the jungler is there and we're all just waiting till the one minute 30 mark
when a monster will spawn and he goes okay leash leash leash and like i'm
asking him what leash is and he just says no leash
okay so i'm playing a character that has a hook
named thresh has a really long range hook that pulls people out of the way
so when they start fighting i hook the fucking guy
and pull the the monster like way down the the corridor right
because i think that's what he wants me to do and now
him and the bottom start just script what are you doing
what the fuck are you doing you're ruining it stop it
i then take a look and go on my phone and ask people
what is leash because i thought leash was to
grab with the hook because i'm a hook character no leash
is to help that guy kill that mob
why is it called leash couldn't find out come on there's got to be
there's got to be a history there has to be right
okay but i don't know what it is and you asked
and they didn't want to tell me they were just like just do it
and it's like fun time and so that game was toxic the whole
time as a result because support is feeding support is
griefing i have a really important question
to follow up there yeah ping system yeah characters talk
or the are the game talks no a icon will show up and it will have text written
underneath it when like when it says i'm on my way
yeah right you do that it'll ping a green marker and it'll say the name of
your character underneath it okay when you ask for help
you it just says assist me it literally says assist me on the map
it doesn't say leash me no okay no if he had
fucking pinged and just said assist me i would have been able to go okay i'll
just hit him i'll hit him one couple times but he did ping no he typed in
chat leash leash leash but then you said he pinged a spot on
oh yeah he pinged the spot not the assist me spot just the generic
location he just did a ping ping ping yeah i'm like okay location
ping yeah so so there were a million ways
so easy because i mean i'm like you could have looked at the
at the thing he could have taken dude when he said that
you have to wait 90 seconds for that thing to spawn there's so much time to
actually explain what the fuck you're talking about because i've played a
game of uh i played a game of of apex where i was
playing with uh it was me solo and two uh people speaking
uh portuguese and at a point where one of them was yelling something
yeah uh they pinged yeah and then it was like oh yeah
um fucking hop up or you know what i mean whatever it was oh yeah okay
game thank you so oh no the tools are there the tools are there
cool there's something really special however about going into all chat and
commiserating with the enemy team about bad players
like there's something really nuts because like
you can get like four people to report you by being a real asshole
but you got to be a real special piece of shit to get nine people in a game or
for you like i was in a game last night where the
the enemy team went hey guys good get like a couple minutes before we finish
hey guys good game but can you report our support they've sat in the back
the whole game and you hit tab you see somebody's level and you see yeah sure
enough that person has not played in 35 minutes they've just been sitting there
so um you've you've had the full experience at this point not quite
there's still more there's still more there's still more toxic that i can get
into i'm finding out new things every day
that being said this is much more than a toe dip at this point
like clearly oh games great having fun in there
the game's great it's a shame right so evil
and the ability to sink ours has been provided yeah i will say there are two
parts of this that i really wish i had known
about before i started playing and they they have explicitly to do with being
a content creator if people know your name
they can go look up the history and stats of every match you've ever played
yeah people have been jpegging that shit on the reddit yeah
i didn't know that until i saw that everyone's following your every move
and went okay and then i was hanging out in my
sub discord and a guy's like man pats really
pats uh adc in this match is going really bad i'm like
i'm playing the match right now and sure enough
there are third-party websites that will allow you to spectate
any match at any time at any time it will be multiple minutes delayed because
of cheating but i'm like oh so if i play league of legends at
any time of the day people can watch it and then
commiserate over my stats to the nth degree later
it would have been different had i known that before starting to play
but finding out about it in the middle of games
is like creepy right like if it said hey by the way
people could totally watch your matches i'm like okay
shrug they can't see your chat is there um
they can't see your chat which is important yeah is there is there a
streamer mode where it hides no streamer mode is playing on a second
account okay that nobody knows about make a
smurf which i don't care because like yeah hey guys
guess what i lose a lot of matches but it's one of those things like i
genuinely wish it told you up front like hey by the way
this shit is like it's not even about privacy
it's about like i wouldn't think people will be able to look this shit up
um because like i'll go into a discord and be people like wow pats been on a
losing streak today i'm like jesus christ that's
fucking weird like i'm supposed to go in there and
go hey i lost a bunch of games today like you met like
like i i i don't mean i don't mean to beat the dead horse on the fighting games
because you imagine like if you just had the ability to put a person's name in
and watch every match as it happened you can as it happened as it happened now
replay replay tracking depending on your game is a thing yeah
motherfuckers can hit that cfn and go see how you've been doing
um yeah but uh yeah i'm having a blast with it
i absolutely that sounds you sound very much in i have put more hours into that
this week than anything else um now here's my question
um do you so do you just because you play time
sink games i do i play time sink games too
but i want you to define time sink because time sink can mean multiple
things you can you can be talking about your
games as a service style mmo rpg kind of thing like destiny or
fun fancy but like fighting games and competitive games are time sinks of
their own nature yeah they just don't have permanent
progression yes um the permanent progression is
in you is in you yeah so permanent progression
to infinity yeah with no end in sight is kind of
the thought process yeah that i was going for um do you just kind of for
example wait until something new drops in a war frame
this or let's say the way that it the way that it used to shadow bringers
gets a follow-up um the way that it works right now
is that for final fantasy i am always going to make sure to
always have a character at cap always have a character that's geared up
and i play uh with my my gang of buddies every sunday night
uh presumably forever uh doing something in that game
but that's really primarily because i want an excuse to hang out with those
people at once a week but and that's the game that
everybody plays um for destiny when i was playing
destiny and fall fancy destiny was i played destiny when
fall fancy ran out of shit and then i'd switch off to
fall fancy when destiny ran out of shit to do
with this uh this uh is warframe in there as well
not anymore okay the warframe has had a really slow update
cycle for a year year and a half now it's they
they're okay but it's still it but but it still comes amounts to wait for
update yeah wait for update for now yeah but also i'm not interested in the
next update switch to switch to other game uh for league it has
been like that game is a a weird static thing like it's
it's always going to be the way it is to a certain degree
um but i have there are so many fucking characters
in this stupid game like dota has the same thing where there are over 140
i still have not literally seen two-thirds of the cast
once
like they're the the matchup shit is just like it'll take me an entire
night to learn how to play one character half decent
but that's not even against any particular matchup that's
right uh so this fits in a nice like hey man i just want to
play a game for an hour or two and then boop
and the way that you unlock heroes i actually haven't spent any money still
because they're very generous with their unlocks
oh yeah i i i imagine um i imagine you get way way way like
not ankle be a way beyond the ankle deep you get it up to the waist before
you're like okay now i need to i feel like i want to spend a bit of money i
mentioned it right that's the that's the most successful way
to get people because like at that point look how far you've waited in
yeah they're in the swamp at uh the the trick that they use
is that you're not allowed to play ranked until you have 20 characters
now the tutorial to ranked process will get you easily 20
and there's like 14 free ones every week in those count
so you would really only need like uh six or seven
to have but when you get in a ranked wins and
losses are going to come as a result of you knowing
how every single character in the game plays and you are not allowed to
practice on characters that you don't own
really there's no no and the practice mode is relatively recent
so hey man i like to play master yee and master yee for my experience i might be
wrong because i'm just bad gets blown up for fucking
free by nocturne right well i don't know how nocturne
fucking works i can look it up but that's not the same
as actually doing it well nocturne's one of the free
ones this week so i'll play as him oh man this is how
i should buy nocturne and that's that's how it goes
the other thing that they do is every new hero that comes out is overpowered
like period yeah this is uh this is all of course very similar to fighting
games but um what uh what you you don't have the
ability to practice yeah so there's a a practice tool where
you can go in with you know a empty map and put in training dummies and
yeah uh you aren't only allowed to practice with the
heroes that you own
okay or are free that week
uh so don't know how to get around this guy don't know what makes him strong
wait till he's free on rotation buy him or go fuck yourself
or go watch videos it's not the same like you know it's like you learn how
to learn how to defend against guile's bullshit while never knowing what guile
feels like it's it's just not the it
uh i most of my matchups are learned without touching
sure but i guess what i mean is is that like like if you asked me to play a
character i didn't know how to play if you if you asked me to play anybody
random like a random character in uh a guilty gear i could not do anything
with them i guess it's it's it is the same thing as anything
competitive but it just feels stronger because attack ranges are a bigger thing
and it's just like the the biggest lesson that i
learn on how to deal with something is to try and do it and get annoyed that it
didn't work because i'm bad and then i go oh
i should just do with this asshole just did to me when i'm that you know that
kind of thing uh but yeah overall having a blast
big big fun game game i didn't have a blast with but it is fantastic
it's called pathologic 2 have you heard about this
uh fucking mandalore and h bomber guy been singing his praises
this game has the weirdest difficulty uh selection that i've ever seen
and that you start pathologic 2 and it was apparently added in a patch that
they had difficulty options at all and then there's three and then there's
the last one is just the hardest difficulty is just called intended
and the text is pathologic 2 is is supposed to be an almost unbearable
miserable experience please trust us and pick this difficulty option
okay so you pick it and it's an open world
rpg kind of thing in which uh every single day you have 12 days in
game and every single day is exactly two hours of real time long
in which you are suffering from thirst hunger
exhaustion uh and immunity to a plague as you run around this city
and events in the city will trigger at certain times whether you are there or
not and try and fucking solve this plague
bullshit and like every aspect of the game is stressful and miserable
i don't know where to go i'm sprinting through the streets to try and get
somewhere now i'm i'm i'm fucking so thirsty
and now i'm hated because people suspect me of a murder so they attacked me in
the street so then i kill the guy then i'm harvesting his organs and then i
sell the organs to a fish guy but then the fish guy doesn't have any
lockpicks so i gotta go to the kids but they're all the way across town and if
i go all the way across town the guy in the north end of town
that's dying from a stab wound i might not get there and it's like
it's such an aggressive timer with resource and survival stuff and it is
also russian so the tone and the dialogue is
fucking weird as shit so there's a like a repeating
day cycle yeah it's it's 12 days with events that
and every day gets worse major's mask no no way the samurai
way the samurai okay every day gets worse and uh there are aspects of like
you're broke so you desperately want to have enough money to buy a gun
she saved up all this money to buy a gun and then you have money left over but
then the plague gets so bad the next day that nobody takes money anymore
they only take food which you sold to get
money and then well you have all this medicine but you give it to the NPC
that you like and you give it to yourself and it's just like
it is it is a game about constantly failing at
everything and it is so fucking stressful as i play it i'm like this game is so
well made it is so interesting it is so
especially for like a weird russian eurojank game it's really polished and
really well made but it is like like just sweating
the whole time that sounds interesting and i don't know if i'll ever be able to
go play it again what are your meters your your meters are immunity from
disease uh sleep food and thirst which is
also your sprint bar because the more you sprint the more
thirsty you get and i'm like oh why is
thirst even a meter it's so easy and then it's like well later in the game
water sources become tainted so it's not that easy
and like the i did a stream of it which was two hours and i was really short
because it was a disaster like i was doing everything wrong
i operated on the sky i almost took his gut i almost took his heart out
by accident like it is built to fuck with people like me
like people who want to make all the numbers even and complete things and
go things in order like it is built to fuck with you so to make it to the end
is is a rare end i don't know about that because you
can't permanently die or fail you die and then you're allowed to
come back to life and they will cripple one of your stats permanently
and as a death penalty okay and as and every time you die and screw up
it will it will fuck you harder wow okay but like that 12 days you're
describing yeah when they end there is an end it ends
well i don't know i haven't beaten it but the game is exactly
24 hours long but will you what what i mean is is like
when you die you respawn from where you were with that penalty
yeah but but like until you reach the end of that 12 days yeah it won't
end and end yeah okay and like you know i was so
exhausted at the beginning of the game that i had to go to sleep and i slept
for six hours and then i had a vision going stop sleeping you're gonna
miss important plot events and screw the game up okay and i woke up and i was
still exhausted but i got it's like fucking
yeah it's a it's such a fucking radical game that i think i hate
okay okay yeah i mean if it's if it's definitely one of those like oh you're
not gonna figure this out until the end throne
yeah then then sir like hey the developer's intention is that the
game is miserable and almost unbearable to play
and they completely succeeded that i mean it almost
like cuz you know like it's almost like a like a rogue like ish or binding a
visic type thing where you're like making it to the end
is like rare and special but it's not because you will
you'll just make it to the end and everything will have gone to shit
but everything's gonna go to shit but it's i only played two three hours okay
well whatever the whatever the accomplishment that you're
supposed to uncover slash and it's extra weird because the game starts at the
in the the final like 10 minutes of the final day
in which the town is on fire and everyone's getting shot by soldiers and
the plague is everywhere and everyone you know is dead
and they go you want to do over you're like yes i would like one do over please
and it's got this weird theater presentation like spotlights appear on
characters in world and there's a like oh my god so
fucking weird i like anything that that runs with that
type of calendar i'm assuming the goal is to like
fix the timeline i guess it doesn't seem possible from what i played like even
even feeding myself was okay even like
fucking ridiculous yeah pathologic too it's it's the worst
it's the most horrible thing it'll make you cry go play it it's good
with a k right pathologic no no okay no what am i thinking of
i think that's a movie i think there's a movie that yeah maybe
that has that yeah but uh oh you know what else
last week right after the podcast page and i went and saw knives out
you seen it no you like murder mysteries uh yeah and i heard about i heard
of unfortunately because i never heard of this movie until someone was talking
about it and they spoiled a small twist yeah
there's a lot yeah it's really good it's a good murder mystery
yeah daniel craig does a admiral bowl kentucky
accent yeah which is weird it's weird the whole time
i heard i heard i heard one thing about that which is an unexpected
thing um that happens around half an hour in
that's fine and then oh that yeah don't worry about it
okay not even important okay uh yeah great murder mystery
great great great everybody everybody big stars everybody's a big star in
that movie like you got michael shannon and jamie
lee curtis haven't seen a trailer haven't seen great
perfect go see it it's good it's a good movie it's about murder
cool that detective shit it reminds it it you ever see the old clue movie uh no
but i i've you listen to you guys talk about it
because it's so similar to that that a character remarks that this mansion's
like the clue mansion like it's it's very overt yeah i've heard
often references are there knives around yes guys there are
knives in the movie there's a big knife thrown

wearing down this garbage cloth fabric i don't like to take it off it smells like
crap you put them in the washing machine and then you go and grab another pair
that's also still smelling like crap yeah it's become
coarse and hard because like the the the fabric has been stepped on oh right to
the point where it doesn't feel the same on one side of the sock as it does on
the other yeah you're describing the socks on where right now yeah they're
terrible these are like two-year-old i can't believe they don't have holes on
them but they feel like shit folks they're like emergency socks for i'm not

uh okay all right well let me ask you a question
the shirt that's a no-go but what if you're able to get your shoes off and
puke into your socks do you think socks could hold it
if then you could throw the socks away and be free and clear
by the time if you have the time to get your sock into your hand you have time
to run away you have time to get something yeah you're right
it's a complete nonsense new advice if you're feel nauseous
carry a plastic bag with you in your your suit pocket
better well no that's pretty good yeah sure
plastic will not leak unless you really force
the puke into it yeah certainly right if you don't have a plastic bag on you if
you don't have a paper bag on you uh how about leaning into that
if you know you don't have a lot coming just open up that suit pocket
just open up your jacket right in the suit pocket
okay and then close your suit get up no one's the
wiser no no just stay yep you know no one even heard it they couldn't even
tell what did you really did you sneeze uh yeah excuse me i just i yeah i
just kind of went like i went
and then pulled my jacket back closed and i stood up and i said
excuse me excuse me and then as you every step there's a
quiet but discernible slosh in your step it's not in the step it's in the
jacket it's fine uh until you see uh the the the parents
of your friends there and they go hey and they give you a nice
smack on the chest give you a big pat and then it and then it looks like your
chest exploded yes then the squibs yeah go off
and uh it's a good well
yeah there was an attempt there was an attempt and i don't think anyone would
fault me for that i think they would
i think you're dramatically uh uh over estimating people's level of
compassion when they get puke on them i think you're dramatically
underestimating uh people's anger and horror at the
stench left behind i mean yeah you know that's you know
there's only one way to find out i would do everything we have to go to some
weddings and just start puking all over the place i i would do everything in
my power you know um okay i think people
throwing up is funny when it's not me when it's not me
if it's a projectile if it's a projectile you're
you're fucked there's never you ever known somebody i used to know somebody
when i was younger that if you talk about gross stuff wow
someone's gonna skip from the beginning and get here again get here
this is what's gonna happen you you talk about like you start talking about
gross shit and they're like shut up shut up
right and you're like really just just the thought just literally thoughts can
do it to you yeah yeah no i know people like that
were just like oh god blood oh god no no just blood the concept of blood no
you know it's really weird i'm really i'm not good with
blood that's not mine my own blood yeah no problem yeah i'm very used to my own
blood but i mean i'm sure there's i'm not sure there's stuff that gets you
like that just on conversation like you know you know exactly what that's
like yeah it's not it not like physically like it'll
disturb me but it won't cause like a yeah but you'll start to get
uneasy and then the skin will it i'll get panicky and itch oh yeah
well that's it's the exact same thing it doesn't hit my stomach though no no
but but the sweat beads form and the the hair stands up
yeah other people's blood scary your blood friendly
i guess i i don't care either way like i blood is just nothing i bleed all over
myself all the time so it's like a it's like a normal thing at this point
yeah i don't because of my period no i get horrible nosebleeds all the time so
like at this point like i'll walk downstairs and page will be like pat
you're bleeding everywhere i'm like sure enough so i am
i was recently uh recently it was brought to my attention that
you can go back and watch uh the so just after magic johnson made his
announcement oh my god in the nba where is this
fucking story going back in the day this is
early this is this is nineties this is people are not
people are not aware a literate literate and aware
of the nature of hiv slash hiv and aids yes and the announcement is made
and before uh stepping away from the game he played
a couple extra games of games yeah and you can see
the people that are didn't crush it like on the way up to the net mother fuckers
are like i'm like just the most space you've ever seen oh my god
unchallenged and michael magic johnson went
unchallenged at the net right and and there was even a game where at one
point like there was a minor cut yeah that led to
some bleeding yeah and people like the fucking court just
clears like no you cannot you cannot push these people
like you cannot push them back onto the court
you know like a mule refuse it like yeah no
absolutely not gone it and it's it's that's a complicated thing even with
people who know better because like somebody else's blood
gets on me in a way that like say somebody coughs and a blood hits my arm
right i know that because it's my arm it's unlikely that anything
i'm still gonna freak out that's a human bodily fluid yeah
that's it's a biohazard and the blood one's the scariest because all the
goodest stuff lives in the blood yeah and and there's definitely been a movie
or 15 where one of those goes into your eye
or one of those goes into your mouth i always i always think of
fucking 28 days later yeah how that is just like
the most nonsensically tragic awful thing ever yeah i'm not that person but i
am like millimeters from being that person uh huh
when you're in the bathroom and you see someone
walk out of the stall and right out the door yeah
and you just or from the urinal right out the door
yeah and you're just like you fucking you are a bad just
like you have to almost go out of your way to not look at the sink
before looking that right like you have to it's it's not okay
right wash your hands and like what is the thought process
is it just i don't want my hands wet is it like don't care
that's the thought process does it i every every i have learned in my
long life because i am 40 or whatever that
every time you have to ask this question the answer is always
i don't care they're just like okay fuck it are you 40
no no because i'm like i am seconds from yeeting a motherfucker
that walks out i don't know 33 okay well how do you not know that
i barely knew my own shit man willy we went to sage up at the same time how
old did you think i was in sage up i don't know like a bunch of you guys
were older than you think i was that guy that kept failing a bunch of
people a bunch of people were older than me
bunch of you guys were older than me i don't know i'm like a year older than
you
no but then also the late december birthday fucks up the years of school
so my school year starts before i get my thing
i don't know this sucks pay attention i don't look 40 shut up
when i i'll have less hair here okay well then don't say that
i was making a boomer joke and now it backfired on me now i am a boomer
i mean for years you're you didn't look your age
yeah and now we're you're just catching up i guess to the point of like
oh yeah okay yeah i can live with this
fucking benjamin button over here
oh does that mean i'll look like a really cool young person later nope
oh okay just the first half it's the first half of benjamin button you know
that reminds me of woolly the loudest i've ever
yelled in my life was that my buddy evan
when somebody mentioned benjamin button in the guy concordia metro
and he turned to me and he looked at me with a dead serious face as i was that
based on a true story
and i just on at the top of my lungs just screamed
no why do you and then he started chuckling and he was like
i got you and like yeah well you did you did buddy
you did you really you really got me yeah
that movie uh takes a while to get to get going
never seen it never seen it nah takes a lot to get going
it seems fucking stupid it's it's a weird one but hey
you know does he just like morph into a sperm at the end
pretty much but is it like one sperm or is it like a
does he just melt into like jizz no they don't get that close
okay they don't will he crawl into a sock and die as jizz
yeah well anyway you can always watch the first half
as a reference point yeah hey woolly what you do with your week aside from
being sick never forget the podcast conversation
it's just hey man what's your favorite movie the first half of american history
x
oh i don't remember that
mmm that's well it's your favorite the second half of american history x
anyway um oh so anyway i i uh
mm i what did i do i went to adrenaline
red bull event yes there was league yes there was cs go
yep there was smash brothers mm-hmm there were arcade machines and i saw you
took a photo of a certain item near the smash brother section i did i noticed
uh walking by a smash setup that uh there was an axe
mini body spray container upon closer inspection i noticed that there were
four of them and then uh upon
unglazing my eyes and looking up i noticed every setup
was littered with axe body spray at least four on every single one of them
so i took a photo of it and i relayed that to the internet
that's
so i i would like to make a public service announcement regarding axe
covering a bad smell with another smell does not make the original smell go
no i don't suppose it does the the the smell of people who have proper
nightmare b.o. yeah just becomes axed
tinged uh the the the the issue of course being
that the person's solution was before leaving the house that morning
yeah if the ass remains unwashed the axe
is it is it's it's a wig on the syphilis
you know it's you're not doing much it's abandoned on a bullet hole
i don't want to be all like we live in a society here but i think like the bare
minimum for human conduct out the house should be
to clean your body it is interesting watching the um the two places it goes
though because invariably there's the people who are part of the
smash scene that are just fucking tired of the joke
and then there's the actual announcements that come out that talk
about toos that are like we might get kicked out because of
so complaints from the venue i'm so it's like there's always the people that
are in a community where that's not an issue and it's just like
getting tired and then there's the stories of real things that happen
whenever a warning comes from a venue holder
or from somebody that's running a co a co-event or something that basically
goes like this is a real problem that we have to deal with
i'm gonna i'm gonna turn off the heel for a second on this conversation i'll
turn it back on in a bit of course your average
person player come whatever at any particular event is probably some
normal jag off right some normal dude
but certain games tend to attract certain audiences and smash does cater
to a really wide audience so of course people who
you know wash themselves and are normal are like
i'm so sick of this stupid shit and on the other hand
you have people in the top ish of the community who like throw tantrums and
act like children not all of them obviously not even a
sizable proportion but enough to create like a stigma
and then at the bottom end yeah you got some
you got some grody ass fucking grognards crawling out for this shit
and the to thing is real there is the real thing
there are events that have instituted uh rules and it's not just matches also
yugioh and pokemon cards uh that but to be honest like
conventions are always a risk they are um certain
corners of the convention hall will be riskier than others they will
but regardless of what's at the convention there's always gonna be
and you better believe i've spent my time uh in pools sometimes sitting next to
an opponent who is really unaware of it yeah
and it's bad um there's um there's a story that i remember telling
him a million years ago is walking downtown with a friend of mine
and she was unfamiliar with games workshop and there's a games workshop in
the eating center yeah or at least there used to be
and uh she's like oh cool what is that i'm like oh it's like figurines for like
tabletop games she's like cool and she started to walk in and i was
not able to say don't go in there fast enough because she crossed the
threshold and you could see her face just go
yeah and just like because it's not just the smell
of the people it's also paint supplies
and lacquer and all that shit and then the worst part that made her turn the
fuck tail is the the room just goes like the the the the simul
turn yeah like yeah war and then there's moth
man who's cool sure and he loves warhammer
well hold on a minute he does he does love he does love warhammer but
you know i've has anyone ever smelled never i've never smelled moth man
he sounds very nice he's got a polite british voice
yeah and he's he's good at healing yeah but has anyone ever actually been in
the vicinity to confirm i don't know moth man can we get some
confirmation on those but i'm of course yeah there are
certain communities particularly ones that attract
certain types of people are totally going to have this problem worse than
others aka our demographic um certain fighting game communities
i would be very likely to believe are going to be more responsible for noise
complaints i would i would say the marvel
community you know probably be way more likely to have
the cops show up because of noise you know where else it's rife
where's minecraft yeah uh there's tons of complaints
coming from minecraft based events as well yeah
there might be some sort of correlation between the age of the
offender yeah the target age demographic of the media being consumed
and the pungency yes the punch one might be able to make a direct correlation
graph uh tech tech and players will stab you
that's a thing use low kicks out in kof players
no no no come on yeah yeah yeah they will
yeah um but um but but don't use low kicks out in
korea it's bad it's bm man um but uh uh uh
yeah another place you'd be surprised uh would be
the um the the floors of qa yeah the floors of qa so i mean you say it would
surprise you you're talking to the audience not to me because
i i have met people the the thing about that though is that
it's very easy and quick to notice that when that occurs
and because this is a business environment it's also very easy to
like address slash it usually will um results in somebody being told about it
in short order yeah but there have been times where somebody
long term or two just does not address it doesn't care yeah i worked at the call
center once that uh the boss literally made everyone
go home early canceled the entire shift and told us all to go home and take a
shower because one person yeah was like didn't
want to single anybody out yeah but he's like all of you go home and
take a fucking shower and scrub because this fucking office stinks
yeah and we all went home and took a shower
except for the one person they were talking about yeah and it's and then
then a talk in the office resumed exactly and that person got fired
because they were like i'll get on it and they did they
didn't get on it first qa place i worked had that problem
and that person did not do anything about it
this was what it was um and then there's also the person who
uh doesn't have that but just has the
halitosis oh the bad halitosis and you're like
i don't know what they can do i'm gonna just talk to you from a distance
that's that's less that's less your fault but it's still
not great no one cares no one cares no one no one cares no one cares but like
but like it's almost like one of these two is addressable
the other kind of isn't you know it's pseudo addressable
you try you can try the attempt would be appreciated
yeah yeah i've but i've been told directly
by person yeah that nothing nothing can be done yeah because that's rough man
because here's the thing right um you can definitely like
well anyway like you you're not going to walk up to somebody and just be like
axe right but in normal day to the conversation you could pull out a stick
of gum and be like gum gum and that's an easy
you know but you can't fucking whip out a deodorant to rub yourself down and go
like no you know what you do you know what you do just take it out just take it
out just start spraying just like you know what man
um i've definitely like like that's one of those things where like yeah you can
you can do it to an entire area in the name of coverage
yeah and over cover based on not wanting to single people out see the
funniest thing about all this right is that i have a
a fairly severe perfume allergy so anyone that puts on axe within 10 feet
from me i'm gonna get horribly sick so when people
try and cover their bo with like their bo with axe
not only can i still yeah my sense of smell only seems to work when it sucks
by the way only does the bo still reach out
it's now being reached out with a uppercut to my brain
like great thanks man this was awesome of you to do for everyone involved
yeah um but anyway uh all of that aside fun event uh was more just chill
you know not really participating or entering anything hanging out hanging
out and and uh did an interview for squad state
which was pretty fun oh uh you did a you didn't ever knew it was
woolly of the super best friends yes i did i did exactly that made me upset
i mean uh to their credit uh somebody did
let them know and they were trying to fix it but that was a burnt jpeg
on rotation nothing could be done it's the timing
really bad too hey what are you gonna do nothing
apparently so whatever ah but we uh yeah so we had a fun time on the
stage uh uh shout outs to uh drew who uh was like
old school fgc head who's one of the co-hosts on the show that
like had a had a fucking good old to montreal rivalry with that
mm-hmm um god yeah talk to friends about like
the state of toronto and um how toronto be how toronto be and whether we're
talking about eggs being flung or fecal matter or poisoning uh or
whether we're talking about the various friends i have who have
all been randomly assaulted by ass just just by people random
right it's kind of like yeah this like it's time to go
time to not be here anymore doug's ghost takes his revenge
doug's first and last movie um yeah it was uh it was it was it was still a
fun time though uh i got to uh you know of course
get in there with uh someone brought us that up um
and so we were able to i was able to play some some tech teppen
let's play some uh uh blaze blue so you beat uh mr creed
at teppen yeah i'll get into teppen in a second uh
because uh that's kind of one thing that's easy to do while you're sick so i
spent a bunch more time on that um
what am i forgetting sorry i'm i'm stalling for time here but there was
something i wanted to talk about i'm blanking on
yes that's it earlier in the week i posted something about
um samurai showdown and smk yeah something's going on with their tournament
show and uh jimmy bones and um yeah so some people were a bit confused
about that uh so he went into description he went into
i was pretty much like is one of those bits where it's like
i'll let him talk about it when he wants to want any and he did on his stream
but to give the summary of it um now that that's been discussed and it's out
there uh i i definitely don't mind just telling people
what it is because i'm really really bummed by like
like what kind of went down here is effectively to call it to make it short
um samurai showdown has had a uh world tour going on
right i've been going to compete in these events
right ferna the winner of multiple samurai showdown tournaments like
usually will get a spot that allows them to uh
basically get a flight to go to japan to qualify for
the world finals fair enough that's going to be march of next month
all right right sorry march of next year excuse me
uh i just want to make sure i'm getting all my facts straight here so this is
what i've been yeah that sounds as important as you think
okay well anyway um so that's that's the the nature of the
tournament and you know uh from talking to some of the folks involved with it
beforehand and stuff you know can say that like sounded very much like a
hearts in the right place really earnest want to promote the game do a lot
get samshaw out there etc all these good things and i'm like yeah that sounds
cool as someone who cares about samshaw um you know been traveling with
jimmy who's a top player of this game right so he's he's been
doing pretty well so um what kind of happened was
there's been some foibles at these events in terms of like
how much the uh how much heads up people have been getting
for when a tournament when it gets announced to be a qualifier
what's the shortest um so so earlier on this year there was literally like
like two weeks that's not enough right that's not enough there's two weeks
given you don't even have time to take the day off work it was rough right that
was that was that was like or what happened earlier
uh in the year um for some of the the first ones coming down and people were
like guys like yeah people have to get take time off they have to travel
they have to figure this stuff out like what do we why would you do that right
and it kind of came down to a thing where like they just didn't have a plan for
like what event i don't i don't know whatever it was that their timing
stuff was yeah an issue right i don't i don't want to speculate on the
how and what but the fail too busy doing coke the failure
unfortunately just like landed on those events right so um
what happened recently is uh there's been since the game has come out
a weekly series called ronin rumble right i've done some commentary for it
uh it's put on by jeff the hero uh he's aptly named because uh dude is like
holding up the sam show community running this weekly event and it's a
it's a nice place where the community comes together competes online and like
when you're a small game these things are important right these things kind of
keep it connected they keep the scene alive in a way when there's uh uh uh you
know just not a ton of people flocking towards the game so uh he's been doing
amazing with that and uh jimmy bones has been doing a weekly series um called
sake and roses on thursdays where uh it's a casual lobby where people can come out
and just play the game like not tournament just in preparation for
you know the the ronin rumble so uh these these events are affiliated to
a degree and such anyway so this has been what's been going on right
um so uh what ends up happening is this final event in japan it turns out that
of the 16 slots that are going to be going out to players that won these tournaments
not all of them have been announced yet so we're we're waiting on finding out where
some of these slots were going to go we found out that six of the 16 are going to china right
the rest are kind of distributed so far around different countries different events and and so on
for some reason china is getting six and uh it was getting three at two tournaments that
we're going to run simultaneously on one weekend very weird top three in this event would go to
like what what is that right very strange like is there even a big a single weekend a single weekend
two events in china top three get six of these slots doesn't doesn't make much sense that seems
like shit right you're like what why would that that's not fair that sounds like a weird
distribution is it based it's almost like it's almost like snk is owned by a chinese company
what oops oops so it was like what's up with that um and there's not a ton of details right
and as time gets closer in one or two places very like i like i think what on a facebook post
there was a like a final like an info drop that was like um this these events are not tournaments
they're eight-man invitations uh-huh you're like wait what so like so what the fuck have
the people been going to tournaments to seed for these fucking things literally like what so
they're because you've been doing these um yeah these people have been doing running their major
tournaments and now this is an eight-man invitational there's not we don't know what that's
like i flew out to this tournament to get seed points and now you're telling me i literally
didn't have to go someone else could have got an invite to go to one of these things and and and
for the six of them will be chinese um because it's an invitational of people that are from the
scene there or something i guess if but like apparently there's not a very large scene there
but regardless it doesn't matter that's what you call stacking right that's what you call stacking
it's what it is we're gonna grab we're gonna grab the six local players and throw them in
and it's gonna be like in the end you're gonna end up facing against people who like have to
fight against like hundreds of players yeah to get where they are you're gonna fucking crush it's
pointless but it doesn't matter like they're gonna they're gonna own like one of them might get
first a second but the rest are gonna get fucking eight through six it's a complete nonsense publicity
ploy right so it makes no sense to put that in the snk seems bad in this situation like it's it
this is whatever whoever is in charge of this world tour thing is not doing it evenly right
that goes down eight man invitational we don't know the players are gonna be whatever right um
so uh we find out that like uh and before this i'll run the same time if not a little bit
after these details are announced this is such stupid bullshit um for a while the week the weekly
ronin rumble thing yeah it was like yo this is a really cool event that a lot of people have been
participating in yeah can they get some support in some way right so shout out even eventually
a deal was reached where basically um they were going to then go the snk agreed to let the winner
of a ronin rumble get to go to china uh to enter one of those invitationals that what right and then
have it about fucking and then have a chance if after if getting to the top of those invitation
all right to go on to japan right and it's like why not just cut out the and go straight to why not
just add a 16 person bracket like no no this is what it was right and then the way it was announced
was such that it would be wait hold on you have to wait let me let me break it down even dumber
please do because i don't want you have to go probably lost here to china in order to beat
in order to get a spot in this invitational you have to essentially beat almost everyone else
who will also still be at the invitational no because who's going to china of the of the
players not across the world this just feels like you have to beat the chinese players twice
in order to win the you have to win so so it was you win the online tournament yeah then you get
to go to go to china to enter this other tournament and you have to place top six uh or top three
because there's two of them yeah and then if you win that then you go to japan in march but
there's a scenario here in which you will have to go and beat the number one chinese player say
you're better than the number one chinese player yes you will have to beat them four times for uh
forget that the road and rumble yeah there's a lot of people that play that are already winners
that are going to japan yeah so you have to beat them yeah like it's like what how many times you
have to beat the same people not so but but this is so this is the way they they handed it out right
that's so busted so oh my god this is announced one week before the chinese tournament happens
oh you mean the the country that you probably need to get travel authorization to go to if
you're going there from like a dozen of any other kind like so how many you're not even allowed to
go to china for free like so how many visas or something how many dominos down the bad decision
tree is that we're like 10 okay so allow me to continue depending on what country you live in
all right just go to china if you're confused if you're lost if you're let me let me try to simplify
it but let's run it all right world tour event is announced um timing is really badly handled on the
part of snk letting people know about when these things are going down in tournament with seating
turns into a closed invitational with fucked seating with six slots of 16 going to uh chinese china
china chinese events right that are not open tournaments like the rest of the events that is
announced a week to go by winning the online all right and now and now uh we so that the online
tournament goes down uh diddy mokov wins at jimmy bones gets second place all right diddy mokov
goes okay cool let's find out what we can do here uh he's from south america and you think he's
currently was in america yeah unable to do any sort of passport applications all of it like
literally could not do it so a day later goes i can't do this vacate my win i vacate my way
therefore jimmy bones becomes the number one jimmy bones takes it okay cool so he finds out uh
a day or a day and a half after right um which gives him five days to go to china four four days
okay so what do you gotta do to make that happen of which it takes at least 1.5 days to literally
go to china time to call up the embassy and get the visa because you can't just go there because
you can't just go okay a travel visa so that is the soonest on a rush that you can get that to
happen it's going to be a day and a half later which gives you seven hours of leeway so we're like
okay and i'm like i'm i'm looking at the events i'm trying i'm like looking i'm talking with him
about this whole thing looking at the the flights trying to see what's possible and of all the flights
that can be chosen the uh uh the only way to get there the morning of the tournament on saturday
would be to leave two hours before the meeting to get the visa great completely impossible
it's almost like this is intentional completely impossible it's almost like these are known
quantities i mean i like the people like like like jeff running the tournament definitely did
not intend any of this although you know what i mean it was just way back up you're just like
nah they didn't they just they it's it's almost like they never wanted to give this thing a chance
i don't know i don't know but but so what happens is of course it becomes completely a farce right
yeah and then and then it's like okay and even this is not going to be possible but let's just
also look at what we're talking about in terms of like um what you'd have to like what kind of
costs you'd have to get for this visa yeah whatever right so the way things were announced initially
was um flight to china plus a thousand dollars to cover whatever expenses sure we're gonna take
place or happen to which would be room board and blah blah blah whatever the case may be uh turns out
uh in the communication that was not what was said uh turns out that's not what was offered
uh and that what was actually offered was a thousand dollars towards the cost of getting to
china in four days including and staying there playing eating and traveling and taking getting
to the airport and taking the track taxi whatever the fuck whatever paying money out of pocket plus
embassy so snk was actually going to just provide one thousand dollars towards the three thousand
maybe it would cost to do this yeah so the player would have to a have the time to leave within a
couple days to fly to china take the time off of work and have a couple thousand sitting around to
and have a free uh travel uh visa standing of which that thousand dollars by the way would not
be uh given but would be reimbursed a month oh it would be reimbursed this is not this was like no
isn't this the worst this is an offer this is an offer where
you forgot your lunch and i see that you haven't i see you don't have your lunch right
and i have a peanut butter sandwich right i eat the first half of my sandwich and make
sure to get one bite into second part of sandwich before offering you some hey man you look hungry
do you want some as i am eating the remainder fully knowing that you will say no man i'm good
but i offered though i offered so we're now on like domino 10 right of the bad decisions in this
process i'm but i can't believe how far down the line it's come in terms of stupidity with it but
this is what's happened i don't understand why they didn't want to compete we offered to pay their way
here and we we sanctioned their online tournament and you know like definitely don't want to blow
up anybody spot or anything but it's like like okay an attempt was made to try and like okay can we
talk to people can can jimmy figure out a way no to just go like all right look this is a complete
shit show yes can we salvage this in any way by at least saying he can't possibly make it to this
event the next one that will happen is coming up it'll be frosty fostings yeah it's going to be in
january yeah um is there a way to since work he's since jimmy's from montreal yeah can you just take
that money that would have gone towards the china trip and put it towards allowing him to compete
at that event where is it uh that is in uh um uh i want to say it'll chicago no it's not going to
happen right you will no we will not it had to be the china one um and it's like just we can just
at least get that done out of it no because this whole thing is like of course not no right no
and it would have been one of those things where you're like at the end of this fucking domino
shit show the one thing you could have done right here would have been to get that no they only
offered money that they knew couldn't have been obtained and it just so i don't know where it is
on the chain of events and will they all give you three hundred dollars command into that camera
right now within five seconds yeah i don't know where on the chain of command but like well i offered
it i guess he doesn't want it i feel i feel like um somewhere along the lines like the what about
your asshole the the snk china is doing their best to just completely either either just grab these
slots or like make a weird posture that i don't know i don't know but it's just it's just it's
shitty whatever the speculation is it's garbage and like it's clearly not a fair situation chinese
business interests are also chinese national interests and want to do what's good for china
and that's the reality of it and it sucks when uh snk japan or snk america are
leashed to follow those orders or whatever the fuck they can't do uh without that approval um if
that's the way things are going it appears but i don't know and then yeah so you end up with this
complete shit show where they're just like sorry you you get nothing you lose good day sir right
can we no don't care too bad that's right right and this is why you just carry on this is fucking
garbage this is why when you look at interviews of people who have competed in and one or placed
top eight in say the capcom pro tour and those who have competed in and got top eight or won evo
the prestige of evo or um any of the other ones right that our community organized the
prestige is so much higher because there's so much more value in winning a completely open
tournament yes you walk off the street that is sponsored or managed or whatever you know who like
again who are you we don't even know who you're invited it's just we're reaching out to people
that we would like to see be represented in japan and let's give them chances right who i don't know
or people or names or whatever the case so um yeah man it really was just like from the get-go
when people are just like so you just want to stack six of these 10 names to be like from china
and then get completely crushed yeah i want right and then when you get to top 16 if somebody
that fought through the trenches from the bottom in multiple in multiple countries has to fight
three people to get to winners finals and then someone fights three of those six
and that just happens to randomly be stacked you're getting somebody who gets a free skip
to the end versus someone who has to fucking there's a there's a there's a fascinating um
the you can go check out core a gaming we did a video on tournaments and how tournaments work
and how uh bracket selection can be manipulated see to create event to create things to happen
yeah so seating is something that happens uh as a to i can tell you that like i've had to do
seating and i know and like there's a lot of discussion and debate that goes into it javaley
posted a hilarious thing the other day about like we finally hit the era where uh he got a
complaint from a parent who said my kid is not seated high enough or whatever what's up with
this right and effectively the point of it is to just go hey did you travel from uh tim buck to
with your friend here let's make sure you guys don't fight in the first round because that
fucked okay second the two people who are probably going to be in grand finals based on
class performance should be as far away from each other in the bracket as possible otherwise
that person gets eliminated even though based on the double elimination system yeah even though
they probably would have made it further based on the approximate skill levels but hey what if you
want your buddy to get out of pools for sure then you put him in an easy pool and you make sure that
pool is easy yeah so you don't so seating should generally never be handled on that type of level
yeah but smash eg has made it easy but like there's things you factor in some things way more than
others you winning an evo is a bigger factor than you coming from a place that someone else
come yeah if you win an evo congrats you're now number one on the on the bracket right and all
the top eights are going to be number 1000 number 1500 number etc but if i see like uh four canadian
flags in my pool that's a couple of canadian and then no other canadian flags in surrounding pools
and be like well someone's trying to get rid of canada or yeah now if you see a random can
fuck that up sometimes yeah but then you got to keep an eye out on yeah right so anyway all that
to say that that's just one aspect of this that's that has nothing to do with i don't know it's the
most overtly obviously stupid well it's the dumb six slot china thing but then there's just the
fuckery of how you supposed to get there in the days that you're not possibly you're not we cover
no we can't i am literally every step of like we're gonna no we're not gonna cover now i'm well
will you get no a month down the lot and then fuck you too bad i'm well aware of the desire to
give the benefit of the doubt but situations like that are so obviously explicitly designed to fail
on purpose that i can't help but shrug the instant that came out i'm sure a lot of people are like
oh we're not intended to get there so this is intended to be an empty and then another and then
a fortune and then it leads to people going like well yeah this is another fuck up on this world
tour right and the worst part i mean there's a million worse parts but an extra factor in how
stupid and bad this is is how badly it reflects on jeff who runs run and rumble and jimmy bones
who run sake and roses two people who are literally going out of their way to organize things to
promote the game that's that's tough because say you're somebody in a community and you're
and you love a game and you're trying to make the game real hi and then the the people who run the
game literally spit on you like what do you like it sucks there's gotta be an emotion of like well
fuck this game at i guess it sucks to some degree and it especially sucks when you know that like
a company is a big mecca of moving parts yeah and uh the people at the head are like hey man
what's up super cool want to help you out and the people at the body are like look we're just gonna
do what we can do we're just gonna do what we're gonna do we got to focus on these organs right
alternatively the people in the middle want to help you and the people at the top go no fuck
i'm don't give them but the legs are just like not only not walking to help you they're walking away
from you know they're they're trying to step on you oh yes the legs are attacking you and kicking
you stop and and and go and doing their best to fucking ruin yeah this sounds like shit it sounds
like the samurai showdown future as a community slash tournament game is fucking dead well here's
what's here's the thing right as you mentioned when you're when you're someone that's trying to
help promote this scene like these guys are this fucking just really hurts and just dive down
one of my right and this is what this is what it comes down to right so um for me as someone
like i'm like i still like this game i don't like having this bad association with it when it comes
to mine like yeah you just you double down into community and go okay guys so the company is
holding the inventational but the real world champion is going to be the one that wins this
event over here so you know i'm i was like planning to still go to tournaments next year uh uh
that were like sam show events that were happening yeah and still very much want to do those still
want to compete and play this game that i like you know but this world tour aspect of it the
esports aspect of it is a fucking botch right now esports and like any attempt to olive branch
of which there were like eight just complete refusal i find it you know fascinating that
because of the the the push and pull in the nature of the business relationships that have formed
that almost every single discussion about esports eventually goes to a discussion about chinese
nationalist business interests at some point recently like like almost all of them i don't
know if csgo is involved probably not that's a valve thing probably not dota but like china's
got a lot of money and they pushing i mean look all i can say you know and and this was everyone
that like it's a pretty tight knit community you know what i mean but everyone that like um
yeah like i said there's like an active 50 names that you just see and recognize everywhere you
know like but oh everyone just kind of i feel had that sort of conclusion of just like well
it's community now this is you know we're just we're going we're going community on this and
until they make several changes to like fixing this shit like we're just gonna have to
fend for ourselves you know in a way and stick together and then do what we can and like it's a
really just it's still it's one of those things where it's like it it can still even be turned
around with some you know proper decision making but like i hope at the very least like the the
the blowback is enough that they hear it and don't do shit like this again so i would like to point
out that i was wrong when i uh when i said csgo and dota i got a real quick blowback from chat
that dota has been more corrupt than anything forever and that csgo is apparently a money laundering
scheme so wonderful sports sports or sports it's awesome e or otherwise sports
um so yeah that's that's the state of the the world tour the sam show world tour um and
and so you just see what is usually saying the sam show dead like no that's the game
you know and community is community you know we like you can you know what i'm waiting for
waiting for some top pro mober player like i have to bow out of the tournament i fell down
the stairs and broke my arm and and i didn't because i didn't take the money oh dive yeah
apparently they were there yet you think we're there to pay diving well wasn't there someone
asking a question about like why is uh pot splitting a problem because players who is the
point of the tournament no but like what players of what game was it so the person posted and they
said people that play this game pot split all the time a magic yeah yeah they said magic the
gathering players agree to pot split all the time yeah and uh because they don't want to risk the
fact that a bad draw of cards yeah the reason why that's acceptable is because there's random elements
associated with that that no one can control so they just completely you know fucking whatever um yeah
yeah so anyway uh that's where that's at uh teppen i've been i've been you know playing it playing
it putting the time in you've been cardin i've been cardin i've been uh learning what it means to
like tweak to an even finer degree than i thought possible are you esports and uh no teppen yet
no no sure but i thought i was like oh yeah i've got the flow and feeling of this deck and how i'm
playing it and stuff and then now i'm tweaking not just like like one or two cards for their for
like a different effect entirely but i was like let's tweak for the same effect with a slightly
different variable so oh man instead of playing this card that gives me anti air on all of my
things to stop people that fly i'll instead play a more expensive card that kills everything the
opponent has that flies oh and uh and does like a ton of dash a ton of damage or whatever you know
and see like two ways to go about the same strategy and so on um that sounds a lot like the shop in
a mober i guess so you should give that mober a shot uh so i randomly i randomly playing ranked
came across uh one zavier woods aka austin creed and uh stole a game you stole it stole a game where
he was he was winning and i just came back with the fucking one two at the last second and then
yeah i was like oh shit you know i was like what the what are the chances that was fun i didn't
know he was online and then uh we played some more running he's like yo run it back and so we run it
back in in uh casuals after and uh proceeded to steal another two in almost the exact same manner
where like a really good opening strategy was just trounced by a really solid comeback and i
i managed to get three oh on it and i was like yeah well that's definitive um there's no arguing
with that stolen or not and um and i i i fucked up because i missed the replay on one of them
but i do have two of them and i've been planning to do a look video anyway so i got those at which
point then kenny jumped in and it was like yo we gotta play so then i jumped on with kenny and and
did a set first to three as well and in that case it went to two and then he took the final game
he probably cheated um yeah totally no it was really and saw and that like you get super toxic
kenny kenny how how are you gonna get toxic in a card game on your phone you can get toxic
really good games really good games across the board post game toxic i noticed i noticed we're
all in similar ranking range yeah where it's like like i feel i'm starting to feeling i'm starting
to feel like what i originally thought was like a pyramid to the top is looking more like a wine
glass of like everyone at the bottom and then it thins out and then there's a whole lot of people
okay all right probably sitting in the middle of that wine and then you got your elite so i don't
like a wine glass that continues tapering off yeah right because um we're we're just before
champion but boy is it hard to get into champion what's champion defined by champion is defined
by getting to above a one i'm at a five uh okay the reason i everyone all but like the kenny and
skill mama and these guys and austin we're all in that a five a four category the reason i ask is
there's a like i'm playing league and it has the same thing was a champion yeah and the champion
is literally the top 200 okay which is i think street fighting is something similar is that it's
like i like the idea of titles that are like do you have this title there are only 10 of these
that's only 50 of killer instinct with the title of killer oh yeah you gotta be what to be killer
you have to get top 32 that's great in that a period of time that's great yeah and then when
you get to killer you get to do uh i think three out of five sets fucking sick yeah it was really
good it was really good um so anyway uh all that to say uh uh yeah that was that was a ton of fun
and tweaking and whatnot really close and i also really got to learn especially in the matches with
kenny that like i'm like okay the same deck you will watch a trouncing you will trounce them
and then it'll go tight yeah based on your draw in a lot of cases um and you and it's almost
it's impossible to cover every oh yeah there's always going to be an element of straight up gambling
in a card game yeah you know and and you you can go for a really blasé deck that'll be pretty safe
against everybody but not deal with the haymaker strategies yeah right and haymaker strategies
will often involve like yeah people doing crazy nonsense setups that that are like you have no
direct counter to this card because you for example if anything that you would need to beat
this card uh you you can't even target it yeah right it has a thing that stops you from specifically
targeting that there's all kinds of crazy shit you can do so um that's the part of the game that's
kind of like getting elusive to me in a way where i'm like i don't really i always love that i mean
you described it uh a while ago where it's like set play but like any multiplayer game where
it's just like what are we gonna do okay we're all gonna have this planned and then you look at
the other team or the other player and they're just rushing one thing so hard that you can't deal
with it yeah you're like we're doing we're doing this now yeah yeah well um uh fuck i'm gonna leave
two of my three slots empty yeah and just just go so hard down on one you know and you're not gonna
beat it yeah and like and like i have to have the tools ready and like there's moments where
i'm spending uh abilities on nothing because i like i have to go through my deck to find the
counter because the super cards you've built yeah it's like i have a perfect counter for that
somewhere in this pile so i'm just like uh whatever i'll like not even heal the enemy
but just do an effect that does nothing in this situation just to get it out of the way
to find that perfect counter you know um feeding bot panicking panicking because when you know that
the only way to survive is to find the the the the counter nuke so you have to feed yourself um
and uh yeah so that that's happened a couple of times and you know those are always tight
situations and you're hoping it pulls up but if it doesn't then you're pretty much dead uh sorry i'd
giggle every time i hear the word fed now yeah your feet it's the worst it's the worst that's
ever been and something that i don't uh have experience with is then needing to switch to a
second deck right like this deck is just not gonna work you were only to tweak a second deck and have
that ready for this type of matchup or so because i guess that's the way you're gonna need to do it
advancing but when you're playing ranked you're getting random character matchups all the time
you know so then you're kind of like it's uh yeah it's one of the things that when i was
fucking around with hearthstone when i was fucking around with league and it's like
win rates are just are are like a high win rate is like 55 percent
yeah like no one's getting a 60 win rate if you plan to go forward with like your rock deck then
your paper deck is gonna you know sit there it's gonna lose and your paper deck will be handy
when you come up against the counter pick and that's when you woolly it's time to get into the meta
do you want to play on meta or off meta yeah in this case i think it's just raw stats right
no do you want to play on meta or off meta um if you're gonna play the same person more than once
in a row then yeah you can then yeah totally right it becomes about that but it's it's just
fascinating because i remember talking to a buddy of mine who played a lot of hearthstone
and it's like well warlock's really popular right now or you know whatever exactly exactly so i'm
gonna run an anti-warlock and that'll get you higher than yeah the regular exactly it's like
that whole everyone's running wesker everyone's running morrigan everyone's running ryu so do you
got stuff that could deal with them if you could deal with them you're probably gonna make it higher
than stuff that can deal with the rest of the cast yeah a hundred percent so the thing that's
happening in league right now i think morta kaiser it's like super good as a character that i like
yeah do you have a character that does well against morta kaiser because like one out of every
10 games you're gonna fight him uh-oh do you not have that character slash the cards because here's
the thing you should buy them so you got you got someone goes hey all you want to beat the
characters that you're having problems with here's a qr code right take a picture of this here's a
deck this will help you beat whatever your problems are you don't have half of these cards you don't
have more than half of these cards what you're gonna do better go buy those gems fucko yeah and
those gems are not gonna make the cards directly but when you buy the gems they lead to you buying
packs and your duplicates can get scrapped oh and to dust or whatever the fuck and the fucking
fucko dust yeah the fucko dust fucko dust can be used to build a new card there was a and it takes
a lot of fucko dust there was a fucking card in hearthstone that was uh doctor wis bang or some
shit and it was just it was just like the best card it was like a year one card it was and it's
like hey everyone scrap every single fucking duplicate you can get your hands on until you can
get this card because it will carry you yeah the moba thing does have one thing that helps that
say say you're gonna pick a character and you're gonna go up and like your jungling so you're
gonna be 1v1ing all the whole game you're you're this guy's a straight counter pick to you at the
very least you can go to the in-game shop and buy items that will mitigate yeah that counter pick
yeah and you can you can so you can do a deck dr boom that was the card yeah you can use cards
from um a different character's deck in yours yeah but there's a penalty to it oh right you don't
get uh you like in minima if you get less uh i think it's ap or whatever anyway basically
there's like if you want to mix and match your cards from two different styles of decks then
you you get half the energy cost to play with i see type of thing you can't play anything
they can't you can't play any super cards from that from both decks that's there there you could
only play the first that makes sense yeah exactly right but then you can go to something similar
where you the the classes have there's generic cards and then there's class cards that you just
can't play unless you're that class right so yeah a little bit of that and you know pretty much one
way or another it's just like okay so uh here's the answers that you're looking for wail up wail
up fucko absolutely do it card games i mean yeah card games make me feel weird because the wail
up piggy yes i'm gonna say that the wail up piggy business model of the card game predates
video games like at all it's been it's it's decades and decades and decades of god damn
it i hope i get that guy's baseball card yeah right yeah yeah so it's it's like positively old
fashioned it's it's the oldest trick in the book introduced to a new generation yeah of children
with credit cards yeah uh yeah so of course the solution uh can always also be found in
just sticking with what you have and what about the odd decking you're getting some net decking
net decking yeah net decking tell me about the net decking it is similar to what you've been doing
with the qr codes but i don't know if it exists for teppen but for hearthstone there was a net
net decking application in which you would ask it to put together a meta build for you and it would
do its best with the cards that you had oh there's a it's called a assist deck assist deck builder
assist oh yeah it's a button in the game ah the game's got built in net decking i guess i mean people
look down on that deckers because they're not really playing the game um it'll take what you have
and help you fill it whatever net deckers pussies all of them apparently i don't know how to build a
fucking card deck guys took me a while to get what would be needed and i still don't really fully get
it but i know enough to get to a class yeah from f well i guess you're good at the game but i don't
know enough to go from a to to champ because those people are all running um
very very rarely go su decks well very rarely am i losing to like a um again an all-round solid
set yeah i'm losing to glass cannons yeah that i just i'm like fuck my counter is nowhere near
here you know um well hey how do you feel about the fact that this podcast has you talking about a
digital card game and me talking about movas i'm using nero is that weird yeah oh oh oh you
fucking bitch you lied to yourself you are lying to woolly no no no don't frame don't frame it with
your fucking nonsense reaction there don't allow your nonsense reaction to create the narrative
i'm playing nero that's why i'm having fun with my car that's okay i'm having fun with my heroes
okay hey woolly did you know they're gonna put fucking the captain commando into a new mover
yeah i guess this one's gonna happen the capcom puts out there mover and you're like dude you would
freak out over the amount of resident evil characters like i said it before but i keep
seeing new ones that i have no idea one that you've never heard of i i just i i gave you
them last time i can't i can't pull them out because they're all fucking hey it's that guy
that got blown up in the hospital in re3 remember that guy no he was never named like i i you know
i i i gave you a bunch because i'm just like i don't fucking yeah the mad spray and shit like that
um i mean shit okay a list of the reporter is probably the deepest poll the game was actually
went with oh you're pulling up the car oh my god like i'd have to scroll for some oh my god
they're probably not that i mean here's a there's a random mercenary about to get killed by a tyrant
give me a name what's his name uh kyle no nicholai uh michael victor yeah michael victor i
literally said is it michael yeah i said no no no i i looked to another card and i saw michael there
so there's michael yeah um forest spayer yeah he's gotta get see my crows and re1
no for brad vickers yeah chicken heart
uh these are not obscure characters okay i i don't know i know chris jill
an obscure character i i i know chris jill leon clare wesker uh carlos obscure
um the the the obscure character with caliban cove robert kendo or like uh that the the the the
fucking u b c s guy the black guy with the glasses in the hospital who doesn't have a name
the character was never named if that character was a card considering it's blown up in one cut
scene he i think he has one line of dialogue all i'm saying is there are many many cards
is misty the zombie a card billy cohen yeah billy cohen's main character and from Murray zero
he's got the the the the handcuff on his hand wow they made a lot of characters huh yeah they did
there's a lot of reasonable characters i didn't realize well anyway um
shona show what really is shiona shona
soldier of some kind
oh my god is that i think that's the guy i was just talking about well there you go
i guess they named him at some point shona that's hilarious
yeah so they're they're getting in there oh my god grabbing some people that i'm somebody
corrected me that the black guy with the glasses is named patrick apparently okay i don't know who
shona is though richard iken richard iken yeah he's a guy who's bitten by the snake at aruba
yeah so there's it just whatever cards with random fucking people pop up who's shona i don't know
shona's from day of nightmares
um so it's day of nightmares day of nightmares is one of the set it's a set it's a set yes uh
anyway so that's that's been a shona's from operation raccoon city uh explain that well
does that count no that counts as obscure the orc and obscure orc is in my ass well poop
whatever is in there poop in there i only know the resieval lord that matters thank you
fake fan don't sounds like a fake fan to me
so um all right i've stalked one fake fan for the future
so teppen is fun and i'm enjoying it and uh i plan to do something as soon as i get the
chance to in the future with that
okay uh one other thing i wanted to talk about um i don't imagine you did but did you did you
touch or bother checking out lee roy smith at all nah lee roy smith the new wang jin rei
is so cool what's his dog's name uh sugar that's great come on sugar i love i love his dumb dog
that he has he calls it out and it has a random chance of attacking you or just doing nothing oh
that's great that's fucking awful so you can just call it out and it might just slide in and just go
like and then walk away or it might run into a low attack is it a combo or is it a reset
it's just a low afar i saw like day one like touch of death shit with lee roy teppen's crazy
the the tecken we're talking about tecken whatever not uh but um yeah lee roy uh old fucking
old woolly showing up he looks great cool as ever the trailer song was great because all i wanted
was him to call people young blood yeah and that happens 100 in that trailer and um not only that
but he does wing chun yeah which is literally what i used to train in yeah so it's really cool seeing
him do the fucking stances and the blocks and the pak sao and gan sao and buji sao and all these
cool moves and he's getting into the it man stance that everybody recognizes and it's fucking nice
is it a weaboo when it's not from this is what pan this is china boo listen to him chia boo yeah
that sounds like a chia pet stan yeah i don't know but um all the basics that i that i remember from
from low level wing chun uh it's it's pretty fun to see them brought to life here and uh then of
course is all the it man shit where you fucking rapid punch and stuff so he styles on you very
very cool really fun he's got a move where he pulls a cane out and he hits you with the cane
like um apparently you only do it once a match once per match yeah exactly yeah he it's a lot
like killix like like a triangle hit where he knocks you in the balls i don't want to break my cane so
i only hit you with him once yep yep so it's a one yeah leeward looks great once per match move
really really fun and uh yeah and i saw along with leeward coming out they announced a fucking grappler
backing freakazoid for the white tie wrap so there's there's there's they also dropped ganryu who's
now uh streamer alongside julia this is a good new meta and the fighting game streamer meta let's
huge fan trying to do the same sign-offs which of course leads to the the screenshot of her
watching him doing her sign-off on the stream yeah and having the most disgusted face oh it's hot
everybody's like fucking immediately control paste that shit control c control v because oh she
hates it yep the face of her the face of her disgust like has made everybody turgid oh man um real
good real girls thinking you're disgusting is the best and you know ganryu is a sumo wrestler
and nothing too distinct about him uh considering the other wrestlers in like virtuofighter for
example yeah he was he's not that different from taka he doesn't really have i mean he's kind of zany
i guess but i mean he's he just doesn't stand out like a lot of the Tekken cast ihonda stands out
yeah who does chanko stew and now he understands out the fact that he has a muscled belly which
makes no sense mm-hmm and now um ganryu ganryu stands out because he's a streamer he's a loser
he's also a big fanboy yeah so turning turning characters that have nothing going on into fanboys
appears to be the the wave yeah because now that's happened to eddie yeah eddie's a lucky
chloe fangirl now uh uh i want to say lei wulong is a fanboy as well yeah and he's a big fan of
julia streams i think i think of julia yeah and and now you got ganryu in there so it's like
pretty it's it's it seems to be the wave but um lyra smith fucking rad really really cool character
and i and i just yeah i i just fucked around with him for you know a little bit like last night
and in that short time frame i guess uh i don't know a couple online matches and like maybe
hour or two of lab time is able to like use the new functions so like i mean there's the there's
the frame data function yeah the frame data stuff yeah um there's the stuff they're adding with
they added with like uh uh punish training really and uh really that's great punish training is so
good it's so good because it just you just pick the character you're fighting and then it goes
here's a list of the moves that they do a lot right not that giant hundred move list here's like
10 20 of them and like it's gonna tell you like okay now do this with your character
whenever they do that that's great and after you practice going through them it puts them on
like a cycle then you can go to hard mode where it'll do them randomly yeah perfect and it won't show
you the the answer let's fucking learn it yeah but it will if you fail it it'll hit the answer at
you that's perfect right that's incredible so and then so like it'll it'll it'll go on so like at
first you're just going down the list and practicing until you get it and then you put it on hard and
then it'll start doing them randomly and then when you fail it shows you what it should have been but
it still cycles to the next random move that's perfect yeah that's that's that's incredible it's
incredible everybody really good man if only there were one fighting game that just got every
part of it Tekken is firing on all cylinders right now I wish I could find a game online that was
fun to play we'll get to that in a second um that's this is Tekken 7 right now and it's such a good
feature yeah I love it and I like I felt comfortable with Leroy first time touching him
within minutes by just going to that and like picking a character I'm like okay let's let's
let's mess around you know let's see what he's got against this yeah and you just learn oh
after going through I picked um Ganryu right and I went through a bunch of them and I was like okay
I noticed that of these like 20 moves or whatever or like 15 or so I noticed that they keep telling
me to do this one a bunch to punish yeah what I what the guy so I'm like that must mean this is a
good move must mean that right so then you can then take that forward and go oh in a lot of
situations try this first maybe I'll just trade favorably right yeah so I go immediately I'm like
I like this is going this but it's just telling you this button this button good this button good
button you know and I I was like man and it even has the decency when you're too far away from the
character they run up to you to close the distance before doing that's really nice yeah because
members like some moves like if you punish it from too far away it won't be you know what I mean
yeah distant stuff so that'll run up to you and then just go all right now block this now do it
you know it really is of such a simple but amazing out of the Japanese fighting games I feel like
Tekken is by far the closest to having the kind of stuff that needs to be there compared to say
skull girls or killer instinct I mean those both have all three of the these games you've
that you've mentioned are like killing it with quality of life features Tekken is the most solid
Japanese entry yeah it's it's funny because I was talking with people and there was a thread
about online matchmaking and it's like it's faster and easier to get a match in killer instinct right
now despite it having a way lower player count the Tekken because the online is so much better
that you can get this big wide swath of people in your country that you can play good matches on
and now we can go uh to the first item on the docket which is I just want to remind people uh-huh
that haven't gone oh yeah by the way to the youtube channel hold back to block yes by estaban
you know who sat down with Keats and talked about netcode yeah and my netcode is important
if you have any opinions to voice on this matter and you either a haven't watched this or b don't
know the stuff that's mentioned here I highly implore that you do so before talking about it
because this is where you don't sound like an idiot anymore because you find out exactly
what the deal is with rollback versus delay based netcode you understand
what people are talking about and then we don't have one of those situations where
for example when the stadia announces net negative latency oh my god and people start
doing the ai making the ai gags the game's gonna play played for me and it's like oh god no no
now you sound dumb because make fun of the stadia but that tech is real yes please make fun of the
stadia right but that tech is real and making fun of that and then in the in the next post
championing ggpo which does the same thing well it's all a bunch of complicated shit but here's
the thing about the stadia people weren't making fun of negative latency because they
didn't understand the technology people were making fun of negative of negative latency for
the stadia because they were lying but but what i'm saying is is is well yeah they they're their
entire application of it fucking garbage yeah right but the the the rollback tech
exists and like when you spot it right know it if you know enough about it then you can kind of be
like oh i recognize what that is so that you're not making fun of like the way that works because
clearly it does work really well when implemented problem i gotta say i i do know a lot less about
this than you do and uh i am in this place of just make good yep just make good just make good
just make good is the bottom line just make good is the bottom line right but like the second
sentence you say after just make good will often make you sound really dumb or that's fine possibly
like you know you know whatever a lot of people are dumb out there or whatever or like what you're
asking for is not possible make good fuck fast just make good fast yes um i'm pimping this up
because it is it's an 18 minute video it's a discussion and it is it is literally like
it is the end of the argument in terms of like what we need and why we need to use rollback right
well number one is because it works it works but it explains a couple other things you might not
have considered including like having good rollback doesn't just make the net play feel better
it makes you able it opens up the amount of people you can play makes matchmaking times
faster it gives you the ability to play more people overall outside your region if you can only
play against the five people near you that have good connections four of those people are gods
you're gonna have that shitty online experience time to leave if i can grab 50 people
and 10 in each category are all at different skill levels i can stick with the 10 that are my skill
level and not have that horrible experience that makes me want to quit let's take steam and let's
take killer instinct and let's take tecan let's say that i can play everyone on the continental
united states in killer instinct and have a decent match even if even if the population for tecan is
20 times larger than the population for killer instinct my actual player count that i can play
against is higher in killer instinct because i can play against everybody on the continental united
states and have a decent match thus the density of your player base has a higher quality to it but
woolly you're forgetting something none of this matters in japan no it doesn't slash
there's not in japan you can do delay based and the delay is so minimal it's one frame
that there's the whole country that no one cares right and that's where a huge audience is so who
could why would you why would you spend this extra time and money yeah so well here's the problem
is it spending extra money it is spending a bit extra money yeah but like you're gonna spend the
money anyway yeah whether whether you spend it on a bad netcode or a good netcode you're not gonna
it's not the difference between zero and rollback listen you would need some kind of super programmer
to do this yeah as the fucking quote from i think the tecan devs we would need a super programmer
to institute rollback i mean the again the obviously ggpo's out there it's now open it's
now open license right like um there's there's things you have to do in your game to allow it to
uh run a third state offscreen and then jump to that to correct itself right that might not
be in your initial game code and that's an understood fact but we've seen people put rollback
into existing games already we've seen games from the past come back implemented it is a cost you
do incur but it's not i'm i'm really torn and i'm getting insane i'm getting toxic and i think it
might be league but i'm in this weird place where it's like if the if the if the if the guilty gear
devs come out and say yeah yeah we're not thinking about it right now so you're like i don't care to
no no no let me no let me finish if they come out be like yeah we're not going to do rollback
we really don't think it's the fit i'm like boy i hope somebody fucking blows you dumb asses up
with something with fuck i hope that canon game fucking rushes your shit yeah because you're all
just too fucking stubborn yeah like it it's annoying i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm tilted about it i mean
stupid at least it's at least honest in that that that he that they're saying that like the team is
arguing right it's not even like we are as a united yeah and you know what that makes me
almost even more frustrated because you know what the team is arguing someone's arguing their point
and someone's going yeah but it's just not the way we do it it's just not the way things are done
as someone who's been at dev studios during meetings that kind of sound like that you'd be
surprised how petty it can get this is the way we do things here it can get petty right and what
will happen sometimes and you know this tactic very well do i all right let's hear it you like
let's hear it where if someone is valid in what they're putting forward yeah but someone else
is loud verbose and strongly opinionated right regardless of the facts there is a
amazing article that somebody photoshopped with my head on it that was wow guy is super
wrong but also very loud so who knows which i think would i think sums this up perfectly then the
person the third person in the room who's holding the purse strings yeah might be who knows i can't
tell i can't tell which one do i shoot right because the facts matter less and the big strong
argument matters more loud who can shake their baby fists harder and then who can go back to their
desk and write up the perfect follow-up email to completely discredit the other person persuasion
is a skill it is and it's unfortunately completely untied to technical know how or being right or
what is yeah or what is yeah persuasion as a skill has nothing to do with reality trust me
as someone with an extremely low persuasion persuasion i can't even say it can't even say it
my inability to formulate proper arguments for things i want to say on this podcast on a weekly
basis frustrates me because i like did you know that if you were better persuasive fighting games
would be the most popular genre by now if i could explain better so much so much clarity
could be given to at least offer why i'm coming from where i'm coming from yeah but i have a hard
time with it and i need time to formulate those words it's it is one of my just speak louder
yes it's a good tactic that's my free tip of the day want people to believe you raise the
volume 20 percent it's crazy how well that works it's stupid it's upsetting it's upsetting what i
actually do is frequently put pauses and speed bumps and stops to stagger for time yeah while i try
to figure out that makes you look really contemplative and intelligent sure yeah but i'm actually
trying to figure out how to say the best thing i can to communicate what i want to communicate
effectively and when i fail to get to it in the time frame it sucks because then you just go well
will he lost and i'm like yeah i guess i did i lost the debate point on the stage even if it was
in favor of um and that's when you take your ball home go start a new company and make a better
fighting game that has rollback net go yeah um so anyway just hey man vaccines are important are
they yeah but i used to be a model okay i'd rather if you called us vaccine risk aware thank you very
much anti-vaxxers is derogatory yeah well i could call them some other names if they prefer
i'd be glad to yeah child murderers how about that yeah so uh so anyway um my dad had
fucking polio and i brought this up to him and he didn't even have words to say he just kind of made
out breath noise and just nothing like oh we should take everyone who's anti-vaccine and inject
them with fucking smallpox that's probably too much that's probably too far castle super
but it but it would be poetic castle super beast pro tip when uh pat begins a sentence with we should
feel free to mentally stop listening delete the rest of the sentence until it's over until you
hear my voice again then at which point you know it's safe all right yeah okay so i know
you know what we should do is is the is the real the you know part is like
so uh i employ everybody to go watch talking netcode with adam keats heart that's really good
if you have any care or information or want to know anything about the topic and there's a
discussion right now being had which is really important as well which is um converting and
translating this video into japanese and then spreading it oh so that japanese people perhaps
yeah that's one of the things hey i mean this this is much wider than fighting games or even video
games but uh i see a lot of people you complain about the animes or the mongas or the whatever
are you complaining in the right language then your complaints will literally never be heard
yeah um it's such a candid discussion it's so to the point and it leaves no stone unturned
in in that brief period of time that like the person who is in that boardroom who's having a rough go
trying to argue against the other person who is standing on the rock of tradition help him out a
little bit you have a provided list of bullet points in this video to help you win that argument
that's what this needs to do you know what's stupid tradition i agree i'm glad we can agree
you know wait i've been somewhat deflated by your recent pro tip
i've lost some of my power i'll figure out a way to get back
what else we got for news stuff happened speaking of resident evil
ah they finally fucking announced resident evil three coming we can talk state of play
we can talk was that on state of play i didn't even know that was the only news that i heard coming
out of it um i had a very weird reaction to seeing uh jill because i was like the oh my god that's
how she dressed a little bit a little not quite she had a tube top and a skirt with a with a
a sweater but the stars uniform that's one that fucking paramilitary shit with the that's
shoulder pads that's my brain yeah yeah or the purple cat suit with the blonde hair from five
which is terrible wow what a yeah she was in casual wear that's the botchiest it's the shittiest
is so awful the blonde hair it's like someone wanted her to be a different person yeah they did
but they wanted to do they wanted uh her to tie back into chris so whatever uh yeah
resident evil three it the fucking looks really good nemesis has a nose now they continued
using and building stages after they finished two and the what the speed that this is coming
out this had to have been in development for almost as long they never stopped there there's no way
this this was not in development when re2 was also in development there's too much work to be done
yeah um looks uh the the dodge move is in which is important because i mean you played re2 you
fought mr x mr x is a problem but mr x walks top speed at a brisk walk nemesis sprints and shoots
guns so the movement abilities in two we're not going to cut it now that we see that the dodge
move is assigned to a button problem solve with nemesis dodges punches or die great um the ability to
do crazy mercenary shit is still uh probably not going to be no it's actually been replaced by
project resistance which is that multiplayer game they've been showing up for a while that
people thought was going to be standalone release no it's a it's the multiplayer version of of of
nemesis does that mitigate the pain any absolutely who cares all right like i'm not going to buy it so
it's in it's in your it's free it's in your your re3 yeah i'll play it an afternoon i guess
what do you think of the faces i think they're great they weren't going to use any of the old
people they were going to do redesigns and they get scanned in and they're for performance capture so
right jill looks specifically european sure i guess in her features uh i like their redesign
the tube top uh it is a fucking pre-order costume which is a little surprising but like the tube top
with the mini skirt it was like really in the in the zombo come on carlos has a nose carlos is
scruffy as shit now carlos has a a hunker carlos is like he he got changed from like
south american pretty boy to like scruffy like let's go fucking shoot some some narcos looking guy
well he's still he still reminds me of miguel he looks he didn't used to look like miguel okay
now he totally looks like miguel okay um you remember hey willy you played r2 you remember
that fucking shower in the rpd on the second floor they had a busted wall yep nemesis is going
to break that the fuck down for sure 100 percent that's going to be his entrance when you go to
the rpd because the very like the the first level in re3 is the streets then it's the first uh it's
the west half of the rpd and then you leave again so they'll be but it's a day earlier so that'll
totally be him busting the wall down and be like hey i'm a big monster man hello i have a rocket
launcher that's cool yeah do you just what happens after this i would assume you go on to four again
or do you go back to one four is the game that needs to be remade the least ever right now ever
and second is one right no you totally redo one when they were what in fact there's an interview
when they were doing doing the press you know tour for two they're like it wouldn't be out of out of
the question to make a remake of remake i don't think so i think the next thing that we'll see
next year is re8 is and it will be in this style it will be no need to go back in this it'll be
after seven and all this but no but no need but no need to revisit older no um code Veronica
fuck cvx turn it into something else turn it into a completely different game thank you
cv but alfred ashford's fucking hilarious zero it'd be nice for zero to be good that'd be nice
but uh yeah no you know it's like the remake five yeah yeah because the cheapest thing to do
was to be just to keep the train rolling these are the two that people wanted yeah yeah that's
the difference is that these were the two that were like the best setting they ever had and
were the coolest scenario and what accomplishing success and gang buster sales with these two
is not going to make capcom want to stop yeah but they should make re8 in this style because
it's the style re2 just beat its own sales record brazil able to has now sold more than the lifetime
units of resin able to which is impressive because they could also just make eight like seven they
should make eight like two and three that's why i think people like seven they did but you i mean
you can now you have two different types of you can see the development path of like seven to two
to three now because like they they are following a through fare the main the number one thing
as somebody's played all of these main lines and it's like the number one thing in these games
is that zombies are totally actually the best enemies they ever had the molded suck they're
fucking terrible the the fucking goo monsters in the revelations games are terrible like zombies
make for good god damn enemies in a horror game just fucking shut up make it the t virus again
and in six you had zombies but they were running and sprinting it's no it's not the same give me
give me a fucking give me a re7 thing but with zombos from the over the shoulders do it completely
i had to stop and think about what six was you did didn't you yeah fucking mercenaries with
with goo arm on the right and ak on the on the left yeah i don't fucking trash dude
it's the only mainline resident evil game i never finished also when did two come out last year
yeah okay so so that's why i'm like next year feels like it would be re8 rolling train rolling
train there's no way they made this in here this had to have been like co developed alongside
they also said it's not being developed primarily by capcom it's being developed by a new company
from former platinum employees what yeah the c a former ceo of platinum made a new company
with former platinum employees to work for capcom we got a name i don't remember the name of it um
yeah two came out this year yeah and what's the fucking name company working on re3
it's fucking former platinum game ceo tatsuya minami clover seeds the company called m2
ink is operating just outside of capcom's headquarters in osaka and is contributing
to the development of the publishers just announced remake well that's very exciting so
we make okay so capcom makes clover then clover dies and becomes platinum seeds then seeds then
platinum then platinum splits and becomes m2 which becomes a borderline subsidiary of capcom
still its own entity yeah side but sitting outside a cap like like 10 feet away this is how
the the beautiful joe okami gene yeah it's it's getting so silly this is how we get back it's so
silly we come back to the family um yeah man that's uh that's that's pretty dope and plus they have a
modeling they have a model template of success to follow there are now three capcoms essentially
i mean
what's the other capcom platinum oh no platinum's platinum's cap cap platinum's better than cap
get out that's not true they haven't made a single fighting game and i stand by that
is that your your no i'm saying but i love i think platinum's is that good okay so wait you're
saying that the goodness of a company is defined by how little fighting games they put out no i'm
saying you would think i would go the other way on it okay okay sorry i'm doing it again you would
think i would automatically go the place that all the fighting games were but i'm going the other
way on it because of the quality of what they made is what you said was platinum's way better than
plat sorry platinum's way better than capcom they've never put out a fighting game and i stand by that
and what that means is they're a great company great companies don't put out fighting games no what
that means is they've never put out a fighting game and i stand by that all right okay only a bad
company would put out a fighting game so um yeah track record how many failures a couple but
there were license craps so nobody pays attention and really like like i stand by the fact i'm like
look at the end of the day the failures that were uh uh if you're saying if you're talking about
transformers kora and ninja turtles while ninja turtles is worse than those two they still have
some cool combat shit in them and kora and transformers are not that bad you know i will i
like transformers love it and kora yeah yeah that's fine um but there's some good ass combat
happening in these games that have other problems you know um they didn't make star fox zero they
they did asset creation you know um so but yeah anyway uh what what what tecan is missing is that
netcode that was the link i wanted to draw earlier now we're talking about platinum so alongside this
platinum announcement we might as well move right over to the first look at babelon's fall
hey man hey guess what do you like summon swords um specifically demon sword dante
do you like it because i got tweeted towards a hey yo check it out it's virtual summon
swords the game and i'm like no no that's demon sword dante yeah but people don't know that
like a lot of people don't know that summon swords is old hat now summon swords is astral
chains uh uh blade yeah blade legion abilities the way you see this thing fucking using its
different floaty swings even the color and the way they appear and disappear is very much
fucking like what you get in dmc five yeah it also has like near esk it does yeah self
autonomous swinging swords feelings to them so that's what i think of i think of uh near and i
think of uh dante uh yeah you're looking at a fucking so the footage is just a bunch of combos
happening at one point uh the character does a wire snatch yeah like just does it um it's nice to
see all the character action people just like basically working off of each other's ideas
uh and confirming that with this video they're like oh this game is going to play the way you
were hoping yep so it's we don't know anything about anything yeah it's still really vague
no fucking info but they showed you some character action combat and you go yep
good platinum thank you near ish platinum ish good good ish there's your launcher here's your
air sting here's your wire here's your little flashy effect on your big boss yeah charging and
doing the big boss boy thing here's a moment of you uh having a sword clash with the big boss
and then you steal their sword and then swing it yes so um we will find out more but that's a platinum
game happening hooray uh also it's state of play they showed off the fun little
ditty that is predator hunting grounds this is look okay looks okay looks like a predator game
you do the predator things still not evolve with a predator as the asymmetrical monster
but the trailer did show off a canon female predator so tina tina confirmed for predator
hunting that's the right name right it's been a while since i heard it i mean i'm like if if they
didn't get their shit from the old channel then i don't know what but monster with titties i would
love to hope i would love to hope yes but i would love to hope that somewhere along the line someone
on the team i'm not going to say they they they they saw our stuff first but i'd like to think
they saw our stuff while they were already making this stuff and maybe all they were searching for
big old quote unquote research material they found that plague agribus video yeah and just watched
i don't get it man a female predator seems like the most unappealing of the monster women
yeah you're right you don't get it you know what you win i don't get it
so i also don't get the monster women thing in general it's always fun seeing how they implement
the uh the heat fission and looks like they got it pretty right in this too so yay predator stuff
april 24th oh yeah this uh this uh march april is gonna be fucked by the way
enjoy playing the the ff7 remake res neville 3 and cyberpunk within a five week span
do you want to see the female predator no i've seen it coward i suppose i am a coward woolly
i suppose i am
stay to play also showed off a trailer for something really cool
it's that optical illusion shit super liminal super liminal so this is a remake of a college game called
the museum of technology institute which is not a great name but it is a cool game in which
perception is reality stanley parable ish vibes lots of impossible space love it looks great looks
cool massively disorienting very motion sickness causing i'm sure uh might that's alright in vr
for sure with a flat uh regular screen you'll probably be okay yeah by you i mean me
but yeah um also scary just because accidentally making objects gargantuan sized and being
fearful of being crushed by them yeah that happens every time i take my dick out well
well you get used to the fear
game looks good yeah game looks really good
i know somebody out there wants to give me a high five so here you go
i did it for you no one wants to touch you i'm sure someone wanted to give me a high five come on man
that's a high five that's a high fiver right there
one of the best reasons ever yes for delaying a game is to make it cooler thank you i fucking
knew you were gonna say that thank you gungrave oh man gungrave gore delay to 2020 in order to
make it a cooler game that's such a good quote ah now i care about this game
the trailer they revealed got so many views and it motivated them so much
that they had the drive to make the game even cooler than what they wanted to make

autonomous life form yeah he's he has this stupid shit he pulls it's it's it's it's stupid
shit it's fucking it's fucking dumbo gonzo crap he'd do with the fighting games other news uh is
gonna come to us from last night slash this morning why do they gotta do these things so
early in the whatever man nintendo did an indie direct and uh someone incorrectly tipped me off
that it was gonna happen right as this podcast was going down but it turned out we were getting
ready to fucking livestream it and then it was like i got here and we was like yeah it was like
10 hours ago well um so what's going down is we've got uh the nindie world showcase where they
are nintendo indie world showcase where they showed off a couple of different trailers
of note golf story two is called sports story okay cool so i heard good things about golf
story never close golf story rpg where you're golf world golfing you're golfing okay and you're
doing rpg shit but you're but you're golfing you're golfing now you're sports you're sports and i like
that um streets of rage four adam hunter is back he's got a daughter he looks fucking great was that
skate grown up i maybe i'm not uh i didn't look cool as shit i didn't say get too much so i didn't
i didn't streets of rage that much but this game was really cool when i tried it and uh i love the
sprites i love the sprite work here looks really fun good ass beat him up um skates his brother
okay so showing off uh you can check it out in the in the trailer but yeah that's coming
early next year axon verge two got announced axiom verge two did get announced i like that they've
completely inverted the color palette okay well an overall style let's just go in order here uh
gleam light was the uh game with no ui that had hollow night vibes to it really yeah um kind of
your look at your little platforming creature that looks almost like a red mage i'm gonna i'm gonna
look at this i'm gonna look at the some ears green light and uh it yeah no hide you just kind of
walk around and platform in the in this type of way very very hollow night vibes okay i can't
search for images i have to i can only search oh that does look like it oh that does big look
like hollow night that that really really really looks like hollow night yeah that's that's gleam
light hey you know what happens when you type in gleam light into into google the first result
is gleam light the second result is gleam light game and the third result is gleam light hollow
night uh they showed off bacon switch which is a party game uh party game like baked cooked thing
like um baked cooked overcooked or whatever uh super mash they showed off uh which seems pretty
interesting because uh it's the kind of game idea that i like to think about actually this is
totally something from my playbook where you pick two genres from a list of game design genres
and then it mashes them up smash that stupid shit together into yeah into a a um a randomly generated
new game so you see schmups platformers j rpg's uhvania like it goes there's a list of many cartridges
that it cycles through uh and then it generates a whole new type of game that's interesting yeah
so you and you see there's even like sims like 3d there's uh zelda uh like um um link to the past
style overworld is ff style rpging it's plat side scroller platformers schmuppin so on and so on
and so on and so on and so on so it looks like it could be a pretty fun idea um and then you have
to try and complete the the mix the mashed up level and and collect i guess reward cards for doing so
lots of sprites of different coins and qualities a little metal gear references in there and stuff
little fun stuff so yeah i'm having trouble hearing you i got a just a blast at tonight
us just now whoa fucking sick oh there it goes the talos principle is also getting that's that game
about robots and puzzles and shit right puzzle game yep it's the uh it's the robot solving the puzzles
another entry into the first person puzzle genre
cool is that a genre yeah i guess i guess it is and i'm all about it
uh we got sail forth dauntless murder by numbers dauntless is bad thumbs up um odd world
strangest wrath hd that's weird gate burb talked about this at packs skateboard looks hilarious
skateboard you are a bird on a skateboard and you are doing your best that's just an end of story
when i played it i thought it was very fun and it continues to look fun based on this footage
everybody please enjoy skateboard makes me think somebody had a tech deck out and their
budgies got on it yeah and rolled a little bit yeah anyone and the guy was like ha ha oh man
that's adorable all right time to get to work yeah no uh i i would love to see the accompanying
i i would like to imagine that's what the creator was thinking i think she probably has birds but
i would love to see a uh real life inspired series of videos check out my birds doing sick
lip tricks putting their verbs on on on uh on tech decks exactly couple amps
bird up uh show on television everyone liberated takes a page out of uh inside
uh it is a is it just inside but it's not because it's it's inside but you're it's
happening inside of comic book panels and it's super noir okay um but like the gameplay looks
very inside when oh man doesn't so uh this looks very that looks like inside this looks like a
really fun three hour game are you guys getting this feeling that a lot of indie games now when
you look at them you get this feeling of like wow that looks a lot like that other indie game
you know what that means indie games are becoming real games
oh mark of maturity we're hitting saturation yeah yeah i mean like and the the and the the top
of those like reference points are becoming legendary yeah right like at this point undertale
is cemented as put all time whatever big thing right up there with earth um shovel night putting
out their their finally complete they finally completed the journey they've put out like five
mega man games and if it was everything they promised with that initial kickstarter and they
did it they did all of it and it's all gonna be hollow night came out and then bundled together
came out and then came out and they were all the greatest yeah now silk song's gonna come out
a one one day in 10 years uh shout out to the treasure show by the way shovel night go go
fucking support them making quality shovel night shit for the last five years
uh boyfriend dungeon date your weapon pretty straightforward your weapons they're hot man
you all fuck them questions you fuck them done done it's like the zeno but in creepy dungeon
crawling what a waifu game for girls for girls the most important distinction necessary date
your weapons boyfriend dungeon um and then they show you the the different archetypes and and who
they become yeah are they all smoldering with intensity uh they're all very square jawed
and eligible yes isek sundar valeria soyer one of them an elf boy uh almost yeah i knew it i knew
it they gotta put them in there i mean he's a student but yeah uh dreamscaper the survivalists
axiom verge two as you mentioned yeah so uh that's all uh cool shit that uh was dropped and
please look forward now commence forgetting half of the games we talked about
and done don't forget about scaper yeah that yeah don't forget about that one streets of
rage four is also very i mean that one doesn't need to be remembered that'll get press
um you know and these other ones could could be cool uh okay so
that is that yeah that's that's that's pretty much the deal did willy just spotlight a homo
erotic dungeon crawler for more time than axiom verge yes yes he did that's fine though axiom
verge is in a good game and i can feel it problem i can feel it problem it's hitting me do you ever
feel like you're psychic because you can do you feel other people's thoughts mm-hmm i feel very
psychic right now mm-hmm what's up axiom verge sucks i don't like it oh i don't like it it's bad
oh from the way you jumped to it in the conversation the second one looks looks way better i didn't
think that was the case i think the first game is like hideous wow i didn't like any of the power
up wait don't you hate uh metroid i don't like the original metroid so then yeah well it's a
fucking what's the what's the point of this conversation i don't know i can't figure out
what the exact line has to be crossed for me to like them to not because i like the primes
love the primes well those are very different in gameplay i like all the games that were based
off of metroid but not the actual metroid games it's very weird i don't know what the deal is
do you yeah do you like the games that were based most of them yeah whenever something has
metroid elements i'm like i like that these are like um zeo drifter i don't know what that is
so i would i would i mean question mark
i just i thought it was a write-off for you entirely i don't get it i don't i don't get
metroid i think it's mainly i just don't like shooting a gun in a metroid game
i like swing sword that's better i think both can be satisfying if designed in a really good way
sure i guess i mean you don't have a gun in metroid you have a plasma buster i'll get the
fuck out of your fucking ass with that distinction no it it but it specifically like does it feel
like a gun certainly it's meant to just like shoot these little fine i don't i would rather swing
a melee option than fire yeah yeah fucking asshole well it's not a gun you see it's a plasma
cannon actually different well it is different though because notice that um it has a huge impact
on the way let's say um uh what's that game called um shadow complex feels because you pull out you
fire guns in shadow complex right i actually really like shadow complex yeah and it's not like uh i
think it's the project i'll travel time the budget yeah yeah i think that might be it that's the
megamanish thing yeah right but i like megaman but you but like these and like shadow complex
it's more of a hit scan yeah yeah it's a gun like shadow complex doesn't hold up as well as you
think it does by the way but my point makes a bummer like it it it is it does make a difference
you know why can't metroid crawl shadow complex doesn't hold up no i was playing it a little
while ago and it wasn't the the crazy breath of fresh air that it used to be because shadow
complex came out at the this era of like this massive dearth of those kinds of games now there's
a bunch of them so the the context and the the bar for quality has raised since then yeah no we've
come a long way that's god that's two generations ago sure oh uh no thanks i don't want to go back
to the 360 generation that was a bad generation the worst generation if you will i disagree
i'm sorry you need to pay me your ten dollars for your online pass to disagree
me oh that's a that's a bad part um but a lot of fucking crazy shit came out in that era
all right well then what's your worst generation the one before nintendo the atari crash
were you even alive during that yes are you sure
that that's not fair didn't that happen in the 80s yeah yeah you were only born in 80s
eight 88 i'm an 88 kid am i are you 89 no i'm not 87 no i don't know just tell me the 85 85 so
you're actually a year older than me okay because i was born in 86 okay there we go 85 uh what did the
atari crash in like 88 89 the nests came out in 85 so no you were not alive during that period
it was still the worst period fuck off this is the worst generation we're talking literal it wasn't
even a generation until the nests video games started the nests all right get this boomer
shit out of my face all right resident evil four all right
yeah anyone old enough to argue this point is somebody i don't want to listen to
it
worst generation when i was alive
i mean the problem is is the highest the highest highs and the lowest lows
like kind of go hand in hand right yeah um now the time that i felt like the most dead with
interest was almost like the we shovelware era that was the 360 ps3 era but like when it hits its
lowest lows you're also like because for me that era is me having to send in multiple 360s because
they would die all the online past season past shit lock dlc shit happening the ps3 being a piece of
shit and the we being the biggest letdown ever three five four and um and you know what i'm
falling into it again i'm falling into that i'm i can't i can't formulate my points quickly i have
no retort here i'm there's i dropped my mouse did here it is again did you drop it did you throw it
in a rage here's where here's literally exactly the moment where yeah give me 10 minutes to come
back to this okay while you start throwing your things around like the baby tantrum one would
expect of pat that's my gimmick i do the baby tantrums don't steal my gimmick
yeah i don't know i get what did you did you it was the first thing you said
that that was the worst generation yeah it was the first thing you said like that that generation
is garbage right i don't want to go back there what was the first thing you said because it was
the first thing a quality like if it was a comparative statement to the greatness of other
generations yeah i think my brain would have went down another path versus if it was just objectively
saying that that's well i mean that shit was garbage yeah so my brain is inclined to go wait
that doesn't make sense there's a whole lot of really good stuff that for me those are necessarily
comparative now if we're if you're going well like if you're going like mountaintop to mountaintop
right if you're going you know the best of the ps1 era to the best of the
PS2 era to the best you judge that shit by the worst then you're fucking you're it's it's getting
wild judged by the worst you know there are some fucking lows in that you can go for the half
generation of the dreamcast in between man others talk about lows man you can you can go for the
you know dreamcast sucked the alt we're far enough away that we can talk about the fact you can go
from the all for the alt generations like the jaguar and the panasonic i don't consider those real
okay well i don't think they really existed but they were late they were after playstation 3
right i'm sorry playstate after sorry they were after the playstation one yeah a couple of years
man that's your existence so you have these half step garbage generations
that you can point to i don't think the jaguar is a real console i don't think it ever really
existed i think everyone's playing a big joke you know there's full on there's full on eras based
on generational divides that you can go look up the wiki well i mean if you had an n64 that was
obviously the worst generation for you because but yeah yeah i bought so many games during the 360
era yeah me too that i'm like that doesn't sound right that and then that's essentially the basis
of my objection is what so that's there's so many good games i bought it was also like the creation
of the dlc i mean on an industry adaptation level that's a different metric i don't know i throw it
all together in one big pile so i can make whatever point i want to make i hate lists they're not
nuanced enough what are you talking about lists are great go go check out the views on the what
culture top 10 wrestling moments that weren't really scripted i didn't ask i didn't say lists aren't
popular i didn't say lists don't gather the most but i just i i it personally i hate him i don't
like him i don't like it the top five things that woolly hates talking about number one
vomit no that's obviously not true we talked so much about vomit today yeah it's a it's just a
call to rt to yell about shit that like probably in some cases you can't like in many cases it's
apples and oranges but it's like drank those fruits asshole well you know if you're eating them apples
are better than oranges but if you're drinking them oranges are way better than apples also apples
used to be oranges the direction it invariably goes in is that of game facts list makers yeah
and that's just fucking garbage there's a primal fucking it's just primates like monkey desire of
mine to see that fucking l block win again every year do they still do that even i thought you're
gonna say i thought you're going to completely different direction because i i thought you were
gonna say there's a primal uh uh urge in all of us to list and rank and see the best well i mean that
is actually innate yes right totally and and it reminds me of that episode of pen and tellers
bullshit yeah um i think it was like in the third or so season yeah where they have an episode called
the best yeah and it's just like our obsession with the best is stupid and that's why you shouldn't
pay your tax what sorry and it's a really good episode it's a really good episode of uh of that
show where they basically just go like yeah everything we do all we market our entire lives
are all about trying to uh pitch quality at people enter in this like way that like has has
acts as if everything has a universal metric when it doesn't yeah you know so when it's like yo make
a fucking top 10 list i'm like hey or the top five rappers of all time
you put big just just say whether you put biggie over pox so we can decide oh well
whether it's coming to blows right no it's dial on dial on dial on dial on and dial on
because he spits hot fire yes there you go that's the only top five list you ever need
that's all you need yeah you know it either it either goes down like it's either going to be
top five it's the most discussed it's either top five rappers or top five comedians and then it just
it's incredible it becomes me where all you have to do is say x is better than y
and people's like animal brains turn on and they go insane but but that's all i'm trying to say
is all i'm trying to say is hey guys remember pro scub anti scub yeah anti scub forever
pro scub go die like that's all i feel like pro scub anti scub is this amazing way to tell
what somebody's personality like yeah it's like given no information are you pro or against it
that's that's it you know and and it does fucking chat for this this stream podcast just
exploded the instant you said the word scub i know but even before that when it was like when
you were talking about the generations and the then the this and the then the list of the games
and all that stuff and we're just going through these different bits of it and i'm like what am i
trying to say here and it took me this long yeah to get to the point that is like i don't like lists
and pro scub anti scub is a really good example of a comic that kind of established this point for
me already yeah and i couldn't i can't pull that out in the first 15 seconds and it would
help me so much better if i could the trick is the trick is really easy well you don't actually
argue your real point you just find whatever dumb bullshit you can think of to tap into people's
dumb animal brains and make them stupid so then they'll listen to anything you say i mean remember
when we started talking about vomiting in the shirts i do okay so the the way you went on that
was it you took a stance that made me the advocate for shirt vomiting that's right now you now you
are pro shirt vomit the the when i mentioned it at the beginning of me mentioning it yeah i was
bringing it up to describe like a possibility a possibility that can result in a horrible mess
yeah but based on the stance you took the back stance you took immediately and then and then
thrust it at now you want to vomit in people's shirts and now i have and now i'm forced to defend
shirt vomiting i have to it's the only way you need to do it and then i'm like okay hold on stop
i was not advocating for shirt vomiting at the beginning of this discussion but now i know that
has forced me to have this this this discussion now i'm going to find a place where what is
acceptable to me if the circumstance is bad and by the end of the podcast all anyone's gonna remember
that will he told you to vomit into your shirt for fun yes and if you vomit anywhere other than
your shirt you're disgusting this is literally how it works it's it's crazy you did so you did it
another time earlier in this in this podcast yeah where i had to say stop you're putting out a stance
that is positioning me in a place that i was not going it's funny because right people are naturally
oppositional right and it's this thing that back when i did martial arts a million years ago and
i'm sure you learned this in boxing is that when you push on somebody they very naturally push back
so all you have to do to make somebody take a stance they don't want to do is just take the
opposite stance and put your fucking flag in the dirt and go i don't think you should vomit in your
own clothes and the next thing you know i'm talking about barfing and stef's purse yeah you got i mean
and now stef's gonna come home people are gonna message like you know woolly's thinking about
vomiting in your purse and that's not even where i was going to begin with he says it's the moral
imperative i was literally bringing it up to talk about how it usually probably ends in a horrible
mess yeah but anyway that this and this is this is the whole thing because the entire takeaway
there is is now yeah that's this is an attribute of woolly's it's crazy so when you so the fact
like you doing this over the course of years with me not around yeah what chance do i have to
not be associated with the only way you gotta do is play dirtier you gotta play dirty you just gotta
invent things did you know that pat actually shits his pants every time he says he's worried about it
yeah but you but i am i am the but i've covered that ground i am the forced straight man i've
seen your tonight i seeded it you have there is no people are so ready for me to shit my pants
yes that when i said i was gonna cancel a stream because i was running to the bathroom
the overwhelming consensus was like fuck you coward do it do it you pussy shit your pants
like that's weird i may have gone too far
you're asking me to have a an underwater battle and you have scales and gills yeah
yeah you know woolly play to win like why would you ever fight fair ever it's not even about
fighting yeah it is human human nature is confrontational if you're not fighting what's the
point of living and we gotta kill superman i once on a stream started talking about what the
what would the point of this perfect society be if there's no conflict then there's nothing to live
for then there's no one to fight and if you're not fighting anyone why are you even getting
up in the morning because the nature of all human existence is conflict and and i'm like oh i'm a
supervillain i have become an actual supervillain and in the moment when i when my brain detects
a possibility at comedy gold yes i then go all right let's sit here let's sit here let's take
this dance yeah and then and then it goes and i implore the viewer the viewer and or listener at
home to listen carefully and with an ear for detail to possibly see if you can detect these moments
if and when they occur oh it's it's where i put forth you could write a supposition yeah and you
throw back a line yeah a line where i had none why there was no line does there need to be a line
in the sand but the line is drawn and then suddenly by you standing and yelling across that line
the bit begins but i have to take a stance that i did not call to begin with i really like ice cream
vanilla ice cream is the best ice cream and if you don't think it is the best you are a fool
it's i'm not saying it happens every time but it certainly happens often enough
ah what can i say i can't help it it's my nature if it's funny it's for the best well sometimes
it's not as funny as you think no and then other times like people are going other times you're
like wait i'm into what now that's i defended what guys what are you talking and you know what
hey guess what it applies to everyone at home you're you're into it now
everyone who wanted to avoid a smelly floor you like to puke in your own clothing that's you
it's you at home like i don't even remember them i was trying to think of an example to be like
here's an example of something that i was put onto a stance on that i literally do not believe
slash i'm not even really that much i mean you believe dogs can't talk which is extra insane
right and then we saw that clip of uh the person making the dog go and press the buttons to say
the words and then someone else came back and said that's not the same because um it's a it's a
pattern recognition thing that you can teach well woolly i have a question for you yeah how do you
explain caesar malan the dog whisperer i guess i'm i'm not dogs you're gonna argue with caesar
you know that the term whispering came from um like when they had the horse whisperer right
that's the first time i ever heard of it yeah and like it came from the fact that if you're not
whispering a horse into submission then you're breaking a horse into submission yeah and the
process of breaking a horse into spiritual medic is literally like beating it into slavery yeah
it's not good happy happy horse better than sad horse because it like a a a a a horse that is
written is a horse that you've had to tame by effectively making it like subservient through
beating and torture yeah like i think about elmo in the house elmo the cat he's stupid
but elmo the cat thinks he is the alpha in the house and you can see this because he's always
trying to stand on top of us no matter what he's doing his like arm has to be over your arm and
while you're all like oh that's cute he's holding hands no he is asserting dominance now i'm not
saying that it's not a cool job description to walk around telling people yeah they call me the
horse breaker yeah that's a cool that's you put that over your name in an mmo however it's kind of
fucked that it's like it's almost when you you think of like oh yeah well like like a dog will
just kind of automatically turn into a buddy yeah and it's like yeah that's not a horse no no a horse
needs to be beaten into listening to you or you just talk to the horse a little bit turns out give
it candy turns out yeah and the next thing you know but what about all this breakery well
seems you've been perpetuating a horrible abuse that had legitimate options
oops uh it's the only way to get your kids to listen to you is to punch them in the head
that's weird my kids listen to me and i ever punched them in the head no you must be lying
let's take some letters and get the fuck out of here hey let's get some letters it's email time
hey emails it's a it's a form of letter castle super beast mail at gmail.com
oh by the way i completely forgot that observer the game with rucker how are in it it's all cyberpunk
games great made by the layers of fear devs it's really fantastic i completely forgot that if you
want to tune into death stranding uh Naruto shippuden ultimate ninja storm 3 full burst
or indivisible you can check that out over on woolly versus that's a weird spread uh i will
also be as i was advised uh heavily uh and it is true i was going to do killer instinct stream
on thursday night uh but i was advised yeah you should do the game awards yeah so i'll be doing
the game awards you should do the game awards and then every time after the game awards you get
to cry looking at the numbers that are one one hundredth of whatever number you get during the
game awards yeah and it's like yeah really really folks want to watch the trailers and they want to
see you rag on the on the result on the stuff it is what it is i want the chic hydro bot to be there
this year there's a high percentage chance that a bunch of um studios that made games that i haven't
played will result in me not having much to say about the said studios or their games but hey that's
how it go and then we will uh uh uh uh so yeah i'll be doing that on thursday uh with midden reggie

commander d and commander d what up their stadia cast i was listening to last week's podcast
when the discussion of half-life alex came up at vr in general an ideal vr full game uh it's true
it's still an abundance of super short vr experiences and i want to bring your attention
to a game that's been almost totally unmentioned except for one time by jake kaufman
elite dangerous the latest and the 35 year old spaceship simulating series it's now about
five years old itself and has one of the best vr games available um in it you can sit your
ass down on a spaceship or a space buggy and assuming the role is a freelance pilot you can
fight trade or explore your way around a one-to-one simulation of the milky way that's it it's great
there's no me gimmick gimmick version of elite available for vr play it's just a regular full
game no different than what's available through a monitor with vr you can look around in your
ship seamlessly and there's no need to leave the comfort of your couch um that game has serious
problems i don't mean to deflate this poor person's email but that that game it does have significant
like uh systemic problems yep there's no end to it you simply immerse yourself in the mundane
exciting opportunities of spacefaring at your own pace my deal of virtual reality experience
uh is this what's yours it'll honestly be something like elite dangerous but better
space exploration in a vr cockpit seems like the most obvious and natural fit um for me my
ideal my ideal vr experience is any game that puts me in a cockpit it just seems so obvious right
it's the best that's the that's the simulation i want like that's why i loved that x-wing demo
so much it's why i love uh the zone of the enders j-hu t bit there even though it got really
unwieldy for a couple yeah uh it was it was still like i love the feeling of like you're being in
that cockpit because that's one of those fantasy cool things you just want to hit the levers yeah
you like i remember playing uh steel battalion the one time we played it i'm like this game
sucks but this game's incredible right like the controller 100 made every part of that game
i i'm always going on about how i love to see my characters in third person
um i will absolutely forgo that for the ability to fully immerse with a cockpit
yeah i don't get that feeling if it's just here's my hands floating in a gun yeah i'm not a big fan
of the hands i don't care about that i don't care about that but for a cockpit i'll do it yeah
put me in a ship uh we got one coming in here for yomi from dalis says dear castle cowards
i've been working on putting together a project about imposter syndrome because i feel it quite a
bit and i want to know uh if it's a normal thing yep no matter how often someone praises me for
something i did if i want to downplay it um to the point of just saying i'm terrible or mediocre
at best so i want to ask if you guys have any moments where you feel like imposters humility
is an incredibly important value that is often too often exacerbated to the point of self-deprecation
that is harmful imposter syndrome is so fucking common in this business everybody get it like the
one that always gets me is i do like haha i did a stream aha and i see like fucking incredible
painting of like me and page and the cat and in some amazing thing and i'm like that's a real
talented person that's a real skill yeah i don't know a single uh facet of my life that i'm like
putting time into where i don't feel imposter syndrome yeah the answer is 100 of the things i
do it's it's uh i think social media did it it's it's well that that is it didn't used to be everything
but then that that could become a part of it possibly uh i think like when you go into a
something like fighting games for example you're like you're gonna get humble real quick on that
you or you'll be miserable right um and then uh you know and any other thing that you give
your time into where you're like look how much further other people can be in this and like
obviously comparison is the theft of joy we all know this but i've never heard that oh yeah
oh live by that oh i like that live by that is that the companion piece to imitation is a
serious form of flattery uh it might be but i i much prefer oh comparison is the theft of joy
that's good i like that um and as someone who like this that what we do right and just being
out there and being subjected to uh as much positive and negative feedback as you can handle
on a given basis you are forced like i said i never i used to speak with more confidence
in general right before now i speak with no confidence because i'm always questioning
how wrong i am about something i've had ready for the call out i have the complete reverse
thing happening yeah i used to speak with no confidence and i think you even remember me
being like that and now i have to speak with confidence because if i don't speak with confidence
i won't speak at all yeah um and as someone who wants to generally try to not be wrong about
things if i can avoid it by learning um the call out as i'm someone who like is constantly trying
to think about how to fix the thing is going to be like oh fuck you're always wrong everything
you've ever said is going to have someone say you're wrong about it right post post another
screenshot of me holding the book right and then it took a actually it took and it took
a couple years before i think any of us realized that the person calling out authoritatively might
also be wrong right wasn't aware of that weren't we weren't even streaming no no right we were just
doing the help right and then like moments when a stream thing happens and someone throws it out
there and then it gets like shown to be like no that was bad advice one guy one guy one guy one guy
is so wrong one guy yeah but but so sure right so but there's but then there's but there's times
when it's not that there's times when it's the many and uh even and in the times when it's the many
and you're and you're like okay this is a problem with the way i'm approaching this um it's impossible
to not feel imposter syndrome especially like oh in this business every there's always somebody
that's kind of like you but is way more successful than you are like right off the bat the number one
there's a couple of the old version of things would be when it's the walk home after the first
session of a new lp that feels good yeah and you're you're like that game was fun that was good
had a good session nailed it a lot of fun crushing it can't wait oh part one goes up you'll and you're
like shit and unfortunately the reverse does not happen when you go oh my god that session was
terrible and it goes up and it's great you don't feel like oh wow and everything worked out great
you go oh well that's lucky who yeah but when you when and when it just comes down to you're
not learning the game as fast as i guess everyone else did or something else yeah maybe it's just
your first session was shorter than theirs was whatever the factors are that led you to not
draw the same conclusions i i can think of a couple that i just like you just reminded me of
and i went mmm it's still it makes you paranoid about everything and it makes you second guess
stuff and it makes you super feel imposter syndrome um and i and i also feel it like not even when it
comes to gameplay but in the context of like yo okay streaming the game awards right yeah like
there's a bunch of triple a american companies that have i don't overlap interests with yeah
so i have nothing to say just do it no no no just just just just shed all over them
and it's be negative and and everybody likes it but no but but and it's also like different groups
of people show up for different purposes yeah um if you wanted me to talk about um um Bethesda i
have nothing to say well i mean honestly at this point that exact emotion and statement that you
just put out is a completely understandable and viable but that's just a company that's way over
there that's but it's always been over there yeah it's not even the oh they used to be here and now
it's over no that was never overlapping i have nothing to talk about with that right or um a
bunch of like stuff that you go super hard into with companies that are like there's there's stuff
that you you you you guys used to be able to talk about with certain like um god i'm trying to think
of one like what's a big american triple a company that puts out a lot of shit that's very important
that i i've never even said their names casually once because i mean you said Bethesda that would
probably be the number one that'd be the biggest i think the one in reverse was when i came into
the podcast a couple years ago and was playing Witcher 3 and looked at a at a fucking row of
blank faces as i was playing what was at the time the most popular game released the entire year
sure and it's and that's the reverse of that is like but it's but it's and it's no but it's it's
rock star i was about to say rock star i looked at my i'm playing red dead right now i looked at my
shelf and i saw red dead and i was about to say rock star right like yeah perfect example i haven't
touched any rock star things since the first gta 3 and then the first two or early gta games right
like the first two or you mean like san Andreas and vice no no no no grand theft auto like the
top down shit yes skins are kind of bad yeah and then and then you know but then yeah and i played
i played uh the first gta 3 yeah and then i didn't bother with this stuff after that right not naughty
dog naughty dog is a bite right but i like last of us yeah but whatever you know so i'm just saying
like like there's a part of this that like there's a part of this where the chat feels like there at
the shelf because when you look over at the shelf you're actually looking at your camera as well
oh well i don't know look into that now i'm looking that's look into them they are all but but but
but um the the point though is kind of like that if i'm uh uh if that if people if there's a big
part of that that like everyone's familiar with because you guys talked about it for example
and if anyone happens to be following along with stuff i'm going into but i don't have that yeah i
have nothing to offer in this empty space to talk about a rock star announcement yeah because
i have no fucking clue i do know what that feeling is like and that feeling is like when i'm watching
the nintendo direct and the final thing that show up it's animal crossing and everybody get big mad
oh you know oh i still don't get that shit yeah i just like it's like for better and for worse i
have a fucking lane and and you have a lane you're gonna you'll play you go you'll fuck it
oh jeez christ you're gonna do play on top you're getting fed you're getting big feed
so yeah that's it man i just feel out of my element so often in in especially something
like the like the vg the vgas or like an e3 i don't think many people where someone walks out on
the stage and talks for 20 minutes about like fucking dead by daylight that's a good game i know
i hear it's good i don't care why don't you play a card game in the bottom right play teppin on
the screen yeah but like you know what i mean that's it's just and it's like i'm i wish i had
something to say here but i don't just do this meltdown shit right on let's do it yeah just do
that i'm just me just start slapping your tummy and going i cannot be me yeah you can it's real easy
you know so that's and that's it that's all and that's a whole lot of those and then and then here's
the one like random niche japanese dev walking up that i'm like oh it's that cool thing i got feelings
and stuff and then a cane pushes him off the screen before he can talk you know are you all right
well this question seems to put you on the verge of a fucking meltdown i'm really really full of
imposter syndrome in every aspect of my life well okay including the biggest main one okay and it
implies it applies on a day-to-day basis well i mean i've had my own struggles with this and my best
advice to you would be both to you and to you writer at home what was yomi uh yomi writing in
from chicago you said whatever uh and those of you in the chat uh the best thing that i could tell
you is to just start lying yeah just lie to yourself yeah right that's what positive thinking
really is play other shit for once woolly i'm in the process of trying a fucking positive thinking
super trying is just self-deceit and and and the the games that are here that are happening are
like i mean for one like naruto's uh highly requested in lots of but like and is going
through that that whole funny thing of before but like indivisible and death stranding are very
highly anticipated games and i've definitely excited for to drop in their new and i'm like i
definitely want to know what happens in these games relax you're arguing with the chat i know
but i'm but i'm but i'm but i'm but i'm but i'm but i'm but i'm but i'm but i'm but i'm just
saying that the slate of games to get to that is not based on like something that new that's about
to drop is filled with shit that's out of my wheelhouse yeah filled right if i wasn't in the
middle of really long ongoing games right now that's training is long as if i wasn't in the middle
of those games right now i'd be doing a ton of games that are way not what i'm used to because
i'm super down to try new shit and explore and like the one of the one of the feedback complaints
about like gonna be sticking to my niche yeah with terms of like getting feedback recently and stuff
was like but i've been really trying to not do that like in some cases reaching out into games
where i'm like i never would have taken a look at this otherwise you know you got a example that
jumps out right now yeah like i want to cycle back i'll kill the fucking hype of it if it was
going to be but i 100 want to do as soon as like one of these is done i want to get it so that the
channel is not in a no i meant thing that you had already done i did not mean to to blow open
your any particular announcement oh because there's a bunch of non woolly games that i'm like yeah
i'm totally down to jump into this i never would have otherwise but what sorry what did you mean
i mean no because you said like a bunch of games i misunderstood what you said i thought you meant
that there had been a bunch of games you had done recently that were out of your wheelhouse
but you meant upcoming upcoming certainly stuff that stuff that i have done like when i when i
picked up something that is like well he's announcing a dragon's dog my lp right now no
but that's like but the length of that was always certainly the part of the question but
that's the kind of thing where i'm like yeah that's an unexpected bit and like who knows where
that might go i definitely consider that but like yeah the wheelhouse thing is really actually
like i i mean fucking re2 was was not something that would go on my on my list yeah that that
game was comfortably looking at a planks tail looking at outer wilds looking at all that
planks tail so good you know what i mean looking at a bunch of these things um is just not super on
the thing and like there continues to be those choices but if there's something that comes along
that like takes an obvious obvious precedence based on like what it is the history i have with it and
it's like priority impact like astral chain indivisible or death stranding you know what i mean like
these are big games associated with the shit that i care about the most it's like those things
are going to take these slots but um given the choice i would be trying to expand a bunch
i guess um so yeah as soon as the chance the first opportunity allows me to i i definitely
do want to like sort of all right do not play new shit woolly not kneecap you here buddy
sorry the initial context of the thing do you guys ever get imposter syndrome is that normal all
the time yeah totally all the time it's super normal particularly in lines of work that the
average person still considers to be not real jobs and i'm gonna cycle that around to anyone
that's ever been touched on by the four exposure twitter account musicians artists this whatever
this is right my dad worked in a factory and he fucking worked eight hours a day in a factory
and he came home and he was tired and it was an incredibly clear identity as to he was a working
man right me ah i'm sitting in front of a camera talking about video games do i even have a real
job i don't know thanks for the question the hope of course in going into new things is that you're
going to be able to care about them enough to be passionate about them yeah it's like creepy sex
shit otherwise if you're not then it's just a waste of everyone it's like when you see the it's
and it's you should try it's like when you see uh julia's disgusted face and you're like oh something
just blossomed in my heart yeah let's explore this yeah five years ago woolly said he wished uh
just how castle super jake's bret says five years ago we wished you you were further along in the
first person puzzle genre um what do you think about that now yeah we just saw super liminal and
stanley parable and games like that came out and the witness it's a really cool fucking genre
it's a cool genre that is apparently really hard to make because you have to you have to be really
smart you know it's not first person but i feel like baba is you totally fits into that kind of
wheelhouse because it breaks its rules all the time it's fucking gonzo did anyone ever tell you
about like the second turn of baba is you no okay if you want i'll tell you about it afterwards
uh we'll save some more for later we've this has been going a long time it's getting long in the
tooth uh not one bathroom break yeah we did it we did it we didn't poop ourselves or throw up
it was good that the argument that we had in the early bit or discussion rather about the
academic value of where to put your vomit did not need to come to a head and go into practice
that's nice okay we gotta stop between the in the next 12 minutes or else they win
or else they win
oh hitting five yeah we're gonna hit five in 12 minutes yeah i know we've never hit five
never and guess what
uh
you
you
