MOYAWILEEN SULLILEEN SULLILEEN SULLIV.
Good afternoon, morning, evening on night.
Ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to JARCast episode 229.
I'm your host, Alex, joined as always, by, you know, no silly names, James.
Hello!
And Jim.
Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, and welcome to Jim.
Jim.
Jim.
Before we go too deep into this show, let me shout out the JAR Media Patreon,
who make the audio version possible, and the patron reading names at the start of each month.
So next episode.
um this is it guys episode number two of live we're back baby you're back it's um we are finding
our way again through the the realms of live video you're getting our lives in a crazy long
an accidentally crazy long jar cast we're like let's not time it or anything let's just
try and get back into the the swing of things the groove because we mentioned it it's weird
to be in the same room recording again it is weird it's weird to see other human beings
I forget how much I profusely sweat
It is very warm here as well
Because we were barefoot last episode
And I mean
It's going into the start of summer now
So it's just going to get warmer and warm
Yeah
Yeah and with you know the light sources
The foam
The sound dead things
Yeah it's just
It's a sauna
And it just gets a bit unbearable when it's hot
So if the little tosy's come out again
That's why
The stinky sweaty
We were just saying before starting, if you could smell, like, the smeller vision from the Futurama.
If we're on the smeller vision, we would be the stinkiest podcast on...
Especially last episode, Paisley, licking that air air and breathing.
Oh, my God, yeah, she stank.
That was bad.
I was so disappointed editing last episode because I was like, yeah, we're coming back.
It's the first, like, everyone's on their best form.
Paisley comes into the background.
Five, ten minutes straight, she's just licking that same place.
gobbin. It's vile. It was making me like gag while I was editing it.
Because I was getting so annoyed at myself in the episode because she was right next to me.
But because this mic is so big, it was blocking my view. So I couldn't see her.
Otherwise, I would have immediately stopped her, but she was there doing it.
Could you hear it? In the podcast, could you hear her gobbin?
I don't think so. Maybe those of headphones in the background might have been able to pick it out.
You could smell it, though. God damn.
No, just the two dogs together, they are fucking stanky.
no they say
like a dog's mouth is cleaner than
humans
that must be one of those
BS
yeah that's got to be bullshit
because they lick their asshole
and then pants
and it smells of shit
it smells worse than shit
it smells of dog asshole
they're breathing them shit
they're just pewing it out
every
right us on iTunes
just want to throw that out there
helps out the show
nearly a million downloads
on the
that is a fucking huge number
that is a big number
That's crazy.
Yeah, thank you guys.
Yeah, we're...
Well, let's just drop this.
We've got some juicy, juicy vits on the horizon.
So keep on the horizon zero dawn.
Yep, the horizon zero dawn.
There won't be a PlayStation podcast or anything.
It's not even like a joke.
Let's do some housekeeping.
We address some comments from the last episode.
Buy Me is going to start us off.
The boys are sat on the floor.
and forgot which number it was,
the jar cast is back, baby.
Yeah.
It's just funny.
Are we going to tell the chair thing?
Are we just going to leave that just up in the air?
What chair thing?
What chair thing are you on about, Alex?
The reason we're on the floor, last episode or whatever.
Yeah, we might, we might.
We need to build back up.
We're starting from the bottom to get.
So we can get here.
Yeah, to a true experience.
A true jar experience after the COVID.
We have to...
Got to start on the bottom.
been our goal. We want to be like the
man evolving, but as a podcast.
Tommy
Please has one.
On one hand, I'd like to congratulate James
for achieving heaven. You'll get it eventually.
On the other hand, I urge Alex and Jim
to read slash watch berserk.
There are lots of comments about this
because it's been recommended
a lot of times actually, and they said
the best thing to be to directly
go to the manga. But if you prefer
to start with the anime, I suggest we're going for the
The Direction's script, voice acting music and presentation, especially if you like that 90s anime aesthetic, compensate for the somewhat rudimentary animation.
Seriously, Berserk is one of my favorite works of fiction.
Blan Scape also says the original Berserk manga is definitely a way to go, just for the raw energy.
And I do round off this berserk thing with this one from DeJoker Baby.
If you guys want to get into Berserk, then you've just got to read the manga.
This seems to be the suggestion mostly.
because I have a feeling that a lot of the adaptations
are not going to be to Alex's thing
and they cut a bunch of the stuff that I think
was compelling in the manga
while adding in some shitty dialogue now
I know it may seem long but it's a manga
there's usually not that much reading
besides some short dialogue and a paragraph once in a while
that's true actually because of course it's...
It's just there's a lot of the manga
it's not short
I've got nothing against reading it
I read a bunch of attack on Titan
after I watched the first season
and there was nothing else
else to go of.
The only thing for me is getting into the state of reading.
It's so much more casual, I would say, to watch something.
Yeah, yeah, it's so much easier to, when you're sat in front of a TV or in front of your PC.
Well, the last kind of book like that, like a graphic novel type thing I went through, was the boys.
When season two of that came out, I just want to see how it contrasted.
and it is quite a fun way of reading
once you have issues and issues
already out.
I don't know if I could do it month by month.
Like I used to read The Walking Dead month by month.
It's a bad way of ingesting stories
because you just forget.
A month's a long time.
I suppose they're quite short,
so you're just supposed to reread them again and again,
but I'm not patient enough for that.
Do you read on screens or do you read,
do you prefer like paperback?
I prefer paperback,
but I usually end up reading on screens
just because I don't want,
want issues and issues stacked up yeah i don't know the problem with DVDs everywhere and yeah
yeah it's already a space i would love to have like a bookshelf because i think aesthetically
they're really nice i do get a few bookshelves i've got i've got one in my womb and it's it's i like
it's a nice look and just when there's a series you know you like you've well you like then it's
nice to collect them gradually and have like the whole collection like i've done but i would always read
online because yeah that's the thing i found with books i know this might be about
take is that when you read it I think it looks dirty not dirty but it looks like it's
got the pages and everything and on the bookshelf it just doesn't look as that's what
people want though because that when you have the like kindle it's replicating that paper
page what do you mean by dirty I don't mean dirty one word like it's been wed so
like the the spine has been like creased yeah and I prefer a book like when when you've read
through it you know then it's like had your touch I know you know I can't beat the
physicality of a book.
Yeah, but also in the same time, like I'm saying, when you're sat in front of your TV or PC,
if you have books on that screen, you're more likely to read it because you're already in
that space of engaging with media on that thing.
I've always done it through just my phone, because it's quite convenient on my phone.
I don't know how people can do that.
I hate reading.
Full novels off their phone.
Yeah.
Or even, I find it annoying to read an article.
Like, I remember going through this big-ass article.
school on my phone and it's just the most frustrating thing and you're like zooming in on all the
the words yeah writing and shit yeah but i would say the berserk manga is definitely worth
looking at because the heart is so fucking good if you do want a good book though um i would say
any dr zeus just fantastic can't even argue that or if you want a good book the recovery version
recovery version
very cool has a question
regarding that there was a
comment we talked about last episode
where we were talking about video games
using the medium best to tell the story
and there are a few things I wanted to say
or reference that I just couldn't get out
of my head or whatever and these comments
helped remind me as to what I was trying to think of
as for the which games use the fact
they are a game to tell their story best question
my mind instantly goes to Neum
replicant as it's a story that completely requires the medium of video games to work
so those got a few shoutouts the near games yeah i've heard they're found of those
type of games but it has to be a video game for it to communicate its story um see rambo has
one i actually have played not all of i think hellblade senua's sacrifice utilizes the medium
very well to tell its story yeah i've only played a couple hours of that but i can agree from
what I've played.
Very unique.
It had those vibes.
You have to play it with like headphones too, if you want to have the proper experience.
It's one of those.
Yeah, I think that's most of those.
No, there was one more, Undertale.
I didn't screenshot the comment.
No, I did, sorry.
Chili Jelly said, I understand that none of the boys have played it to my knowledge,
but I was kind of jarring for me to not hear Undertale mentioned at all during the games and
stories discussion.
I think that was the one I was trying to think of
that I wanted to shout out
but because I haven't played it, it wasn't there in my head
because it's all I've ever heard about it
is how clever and you replay it get different
some different experience from it.
Yeah, that's the case of
I'm sure it's been said to death
but like the fan base sort of ruining something
Well what sounds good about it to me
is it sounds like one of those
kind of Pokemon-ish RPGs
but you can go through non-violently
and using...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which is a cool idea.
It's more about the writing.
No, I still think that game is incredible
because it was just, it was Toby Fox.
It's one, he just did everything.
And the soundtrack of it is really good.
The game's obviously really good,
and it's just like...
The only thing that's put me off
is I've heard this, like,
really insanely difficult parts,
which, um...
Yeah, isn't it sort of like a...
The combat is like bullet hell...
Yeah, there's like bullet hell sections or something.
Yeah.
Which to me is a huge put-off.
Maybe in the comments,
people can let me know.
know how accurate that would be to the actual experience or not?
Yeah.
I'm just checking something so I don't...
Let's end on this then for the housekeeping segment.
Sort of going back to the social media topic we're talking about.
Atomic catacombs is going to start us off.
On the topic of Twitter, showing other people's likes, etc.
You can actually turn that off.
At the top of your timeline, there's a little star icon.
Click on that, then select C latest tweets.
And your timeline will go back to chronological order.
I don't know why they default the setting
to other people's likes bullshit
but this is
in a way to combat that
I hope it helps
that is a great help
yeah I didn't know that too
why didn't I know that
I'm gonna say I'm not gonna click
because they don't want you to know about it clearly
yeah no I'm definitely gonna use it
recently I followed this account
called abandoned places
and it's just like pictures of
just like abandoned places
but all their likes are like
people fighting and shit
like really yeah and it's like
perfect cop
or something where like
someone's on the road and there happens to be
a police car and they do something illegal
and like it's this like
agro shit that's all over social media
stuff to get you riled up
you like we you see so much fighting
and shit yeah now
and I just followed this account to look at like old
castles and then I see
you can't avoid the conflict
yeah yeah
so I
I like seeing what people like because sometimes something will just fuck me up so funny that you've liked and I'm just like, I need to see that.
That's so funny.
Frog S.
I was going to finish this segment.
On the social media talk, maybe you guys can't do this because of JAR, IHE or another reason.
But I deleted Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and Instagram from my phone at the start of the year and it's been nothing but beneficial.
I talk to all my friends through Discord or Messenger and the only social media sites I use anymore are Twitch and YouTube.
My mood is generally improved and more productive.
and my thoughts no longer get caught up in dumb internet bullshit all the time like they used to.
If you don't use social media for work, I'd absolutely recommend breaking off from all those websites.
Yeah, I definitely have considered it.
Or maybe even just going, like...
A few people are recommended to me to delete my Twitter, but...
It's too much of an important resource.
It's how everyone communicates.
Your I.E, you mean?
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't see how you can.
can, like, be on YouTube and not have a Twitter.
It is quite vital, especially with how the YouTube algorithm works now.
Yeah.
I think it mainly depends, like, I know a lot of people have a lot with their algorithm.
It's always the same, very bad stuff, especially Instagram and, like, all the dangerous stuff that comes from that.
But it's just, like, for me, social media has never been like that, because it's all passion for me.
It's all the stuff I follow passionately, so it's like I don't get any of the issues because it's like I'm just seeing up things I would.
really, really like.
And for me, that is actually quite fine.
But the reason I get rid of it is because how addictive it is, you're just constantly
up, wake up, scroll for your Twitter, scroll for your Instagram.
I'm definitely addicted.
Yeah, me too.
I don't know if I'm in a position where I can unaddict myself while still making YouTube shit.
I don't know how that's really possible.
Yeah, yeah.
It's because they're so intertwined.
Yeah.
I don't really see YouTube as a social media.
It is.
You can exist on YouTube and not totally be able.
obsessed with
Instagram and Twitter
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's easy to fall into that though
Yeah
I don't know
To me it's more of
It's more like a equivalent
to Netflix or something
The way I use it
Where I'm looking for
Content
Paisley
Dude, you can't be in here
If you're gonna do this every episode
We're fucking disappointed in you
Just sits there grooming herself
Really loudly in the background
I don't think people realize
For 15 minutes
She has sloppy noises
He is a sloppy dog who just slops
She's got such big jowls
Yeah
I'm sick of it
I can't Max never did that
But then you've got Argy who just like starts
Pulling his nails or pulling balls
And he's just like... He might be cute
But he's still
Irritating
When he's sloppy
Also on the
No let me just finish this
If you have got a problem with Instagram
You can get this app called Block site on your phone
and you can block all the apps off
that you use during your work hours
or block access to them completely.
It's a good way if you generally want to cut back
because you kind of need it sometimes
so you're just being able to just move it from block
when you need to talk to someone and then blocking it
and whatnot can just help.
Yeah, the only thing with that for me
is that I just know that because the temptation is still there.
I would need someone else to be in control of the block.
it's also very useful
if you're struggling with a certain kind of addiction
to a certain kind of thing
because you can block all of it
and that will help you
Let's do some topics
Let's do it
There are a couple of note
That I wanted to bring up at the very least
Let's start with this one though
Because it's very jar
Um
The Eternals, a race of immortal beings
We finally know what they love
look like in the flesh that it's not like fan art deviant art brushets anymore we've got the real
deal we got that wasn't a fan made video we got oscar winning directors bringing together the whole
crew of game of thrones for angelina joly's in there pornies in there every one of note is in
this movie all the cg all the animators in the world are working on this movie doing all the
visual effects it's going to be huge it's got like 11 million plus views in like two minutes or whatever
the water tech is unmatched and that was probably my biggest takeaway was like you know what at the
very least marvel is pushing the boundaries with their obscene budgets to such a degree that
they're like at the cutting edge of visual effects and we're just seeing silly scale from um
from them but aside from that I don't know um the one the one of the one of the one of the one
thing I took from what's happening from the trailer is what what what's the villain what's the
danger of these movies because there's just a flying spaceship where the Eternals are on it I don't
get why that's it that's they've only showed off the characters at the Eternals
it seem more like kind of a mood piece like yeah this is the setting this is what
everyone looks like but we're not going to give away anything that happens but from the
the premise anyway of them being immortal beings I'm concerned yeah um
Characters like Superman, who are always, they're not, he's not immortal, but he's the closest thing to it.
You see how they struggle with characters like that.
Like, Captain Marvel is, that type of character is tough, unless they're the villain in something like invincible, whatever, then it works way better, but.
And you've got eight of them, eight, is there eight a town, or seven?
Oh, dude, you know better than me.
But, I mean, it looks like a new one.
To be honest, visually it looked a bit more.
A bit more unique and varied
compared to some of the previous Marvel affair
But when you have that final scene
Where they're like
Hey, maybe I should lead the Avengers guys
What do you think?
Yeah, was that the guy from
From Dr. Strange
Giving them slop in a bowl?
Well, he was doing all the hands shit
So, right?
No, the, not him,
the one that's like feeding them at the table.
No, it can't be.
He's a different person.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
We're going to have to ask Marvel fans
five about that one
yeah the thing is that
this trailer because there's so many characters
in the Eternals like there's more characters
in the Eternals than in the original
adventure true that's another thing
no character gets given enough time and honestly
no joke Kumao is the biggest
draw to this film for me yeah
the only reason I will watch it and I haven't even seen
fucking Man in Black International
I don't know the source of Kuma
yeah because
even having the
half of the
Game of Thrones cast in it seems
like a...
Yeah, if anything that's more of...
That was like a trend from a few years ago.
Yeah, yeah, it makes me less interested
and like seeing John Snow
pop up and stuff.
Mm-hmm.
That's all...
The only reason they're showing you this
is because, oh, Game of Thrones.
Well, yeah, it's showing all the faces
of all the biggest actors.
Yeah, yeah.
So...
But I mean, I don't know, seeing those actors now
after the end of Game of Thrones,
it is kind of sour.
People are comparing it to, like,
this is like the new Guardians of the Galaxy in terms of it's like a character a set of characters
no one knows about and it's their it's their their moment no no no no no no no those two
those quirkiness with when you when you look at Guardians of the Galaxy in all the cast and all
the trailers it has that quirky vibe yeah it's got guy it has it's because of james gun
though like is is is what's the name chloe zal is she the james gun for what we need for
Eternals, whatever.
I mean, I...
The thing is, I don't want...
I don't want just Guardians of the Galaxy
again. You know, they feel like
a...
I'm more excited, but I've always... Have you guys heard
of Moon Knight? He's a Marvel
character, and I've always heard about how
awesome he is. Moon Knight? He's like,
yeah. Is that like a shovel night character?
No, he's like... I don't actually
know his powers or anything, but I've always
like, through the Great Fire and just heard about how
awesome Moon Knight is.
You know, you can be...
has been cast as Moon Night.
Really?
In the MCU, yeah.
Whatever that means.
So...
I like Oscar Isaac.
He's like, guys,
is telling me to be excited,
so I'm feeling it.
I'm surprised.
I'm surprised Oscar Isaac
would do anything with Disney now.
Because he seemed quite sad.
No, he actually got out
pretty unscathed out of everyone
in those styles of movies.
Yeah, yeah, he's definitely the most unscathed.
Yeah.
But still, like, you look at the interviews
with him post...
Yeah, it's just like, the last one.
It's a paycheck, whatever.
Yeah.
Yeah, can't really blame him
Yeah
You got the vibe
So yeah, we'll definitely be checking out
The Eternals when that
Yeah, we will be saying
Eventually comes out
Honestly, I can't say I have all that much hope
Yeah, my, I'm leaning towards
Not much hope
Hmm
I don't know
I don't know
Nothing in the trailer was like
Whoa
Apart from the water
I still, to be honest
Everything
um post endgame has still just been like i could have been fine without this really
one of the only one idea kind of petered out um the one i like having is spider man yeah the spider man
one and dr strange seems way more interesting than a black widow prequel and uh and whatever this
eternal thing is but do not do prequels like how how can you show in the marvel universe
something more interesting now than what they've shown then what they've already stopped
Yeah, unless it's post-Thano's ship, because you can actually do stuff with that.
Well, there are rumours of them, like, planning to bring him back or something.
Thanos?
No, but that's what's going to happen if it's true comic shit.
It's just going to be, like, cycles of, like, oh, it's been like 10 years.
Now Iron Man is back, or, you know, whatever.
Honestly, I do see Iron Man going back, like, within the neck...
What's more likely, Captain America coming back or Iron Man?
Iron Man.
Who's coming back?
You reckon?
I think it's like just a hundred.
I would say, give it, within four years, Iron Man's are going to be back?
Four years?
Four years.
Since when it came out two years ago?
Yeah.
Six years from then.
He's coming back.
We were white about doge coin.
I was right about the game stock.
The game stock stocks.
I can bite about this.
Well, speaking of doge coin, um, J.J. Abrams has caught a bit of flak the last few days for this interview.
Did you guys see this?
No.
I saw the quote.
I think it was a Collider interview.
The headline being J.J. Abrams acknowledges it probably would have been better if they had approached the Star Wars sequel trilogy with a plan.
So it's this really awkward interview where J.J. is asked a bunch of questions by this collider guy and he politically avoids every question, but kind of in the way he answers it, does kind of imply some things, aka there was no plan.
They had no fucking clue what they were doing.
That was more than implied, wasn't it?
He straight up said.
He says, yeah, he says it in a way without, like, condemning the productions he was a part of.
Because, I mean, he is in a very complicated situation.
Yeah, he's also just the, like, shill director.
And he's being professional about it.
You can't, like, blame him for not being outweigh about it.
Well, I don't know.
I've, yeah, I'm not sure which.
Because I respect what's the Finn actor called again?
Yeah, fuck.
Boyega, John Boyega.
He came out against it and was saying about this is bullshit the way this went down.
I think everyone respected that, being real, being honest.
Yeah.
Whereas this is more, yeah, I kind of got my standing in Hollywood or whatever.
You know, I don't want to ruin anything.
No, JJ Abrams just doesn't have a voice to me.
He never says anything.
even with his art.
Yeah, they're good references to Spielberg.
Yeah, but that's it.
Yeah.
And his whole theory, I saw quite a good take that was, um,
it could have worked if, because Ryan Johnson answered all of the mystery boxes.
Mm-hmm.
And then they just ditched the answers.
Yeah.
And changed everything.
Yeah, for different answers.
If you'd have ran with the Ryan Johnson shit.
there would have been more of like a through line.
Yeah, there's, there's no excuse for episode nine.
No, I stand by that.
There's no, there's no excuse for it being as bad as it is.
It's the worst, Star Wars movie.
Yeah.
But do you think, do you think this is interesting how it's kind of bored down into the blame
falling on two main people, Ryan Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy?
Those are the two people that have caught, I'd say, the majority of the rage.
JJ, it's getting bigger and bigger.
But he started off being like the hero with episode seven.
So, and then when episode eight came out, everyone loved JJ still and hated Ryan.
And now it seems to be more like people are actually understanding that the...
The system and the foundation.
Disney is the true problem that they even allow this ball to start rolling.
I guess it's just nice to have basically, if we really...
It was already basically confirmed, but it's just more evidence for the pile and...
this whole situation, you know?
Yeah, I think Ryan Johnson
has also earned some creed back
from Knives Out.
Yeah. Yeah.
Because everyone loves that film.
Great fucking film. Yeah, it's awesome.
Yeah. Yeah, that's what he needs to be doing.
Can I give you this and you won't pluck it?
No, he will pluck it. I'm sorry,
he totally distracted me from the conversation.
Yeah, potato this tennis ball and put it behind
next to the Hobbit or on there, yeah, that's fine.
Bad boy.
But I think that's, yeah, that's probably a good way of, like, rounding off this whole arc.
This whole Star Wars sequel trilogy shit.
I can't believe they even got him into an interview.
Yeah, that really surprises me.
Why would he agree to that?
Yeah, now.
It's not even relevant anymore.
Everybody's forgotten.
Nobody cares.
Yeah.
It's all about bad.
He actually kind of like Star Wars, given his recent performance.
The Mandalorian saved Star Wars, hands down.
Yeah.
And then the, the, for God.
Gaming,
Fallen Order
saved it as well
with that.
The expanded media
ironically is what's saving it
Yeah, just like what happened.
After they scrap all of the
It's just a repeat of what happened
with the prequels.
Yeah.
The expanded stuff was awesome.
Yeah.
Anyway.
I missed the prequals.
So,
we've only got a few more minutes
here before the end of this
first segment.
Unless you guys have
anything to throw out.
I did want to say
continuing on this MassFet thing
I am on 3 now
not going to go deep into it or anything
because I think the plan is to try and do
as good as they say it's on each one
because I just have so many thoughts on this trilogy
Yeah this whole this this
this legendary edition has shown
It's giving us a lot of to think about the series
Yeah and finishing 2
I have a bunch more thoughts on that game
And going into 3
3 is definitely the worst one
really doubt in my mind
worse than one
yeah way worse than one
um
it
without going into too much detail
it was the first one where when I was playing
and getting to a point
it's the first time you go to the citadel
and you meet fucking
diane Allers
uh Jessica Chobot
it is the most distracting
because I've been in this universe
all through MassFote 1 all through MassFite 2
so into never breaking anything
it all seems so cohesive
what the fuck is Jessica Chobot
doing in this game
it genuinely is like such a
mind-blowing decision
I cannot believe that that character
is a mass fit through
it might seem like a big thing to get hung up on
but I was saying to you guys like
once I did the section where you first introduced
to Jessica Chobot in that game I like went to the
home screen of my Xbox
and there she fucking was
the real Jessica Chowbox I think she like
has some like Microsoft Xbox
thing so her fucking
face was there and it was like you're in the video game I was just playing but you're like a what
is happening and like it's just part of the law of that game it is incredibly lame she's not playing
a character either it's like her it's her face it looks like her what a really fucking creepy
version of yeah she's like the monic in mass fiction but she's like not doing a voice or anything either
it's just her it sounds like she's hosting an episode of a like an igon show or something
isn't there a romance option for us aren't i think so
And she's like a journalist in the game as well
A lot of weird shit like that
In Masset through
What would you feel if the new Mass Effect came out
The new one?
And she's the main character
You just go to the Citadel again
And she's there and they actually put her in the new one
Would it just be like that's it
Nassafect is dead
Yeah
But I was so like pulled out of the experience
I stopped playing for a couple days
Because it's like
Because it all started rushing back to me
Like oh yeah
a lot of weird shit of MassFet 3
like the
from Ashes thing with that
DLC with the Prothian
character
and just the decision of having that guy be
DLC impacts the design
of the entire game
so you're missing out on a bunch of stuff
that could have been integrated into the game
more more conversation trees more options
more cutscenes
but because it's some throwaway DLC bullshit
it just feels like an add-on
whereas that feels like it should be such a crucial part
of the story
dory.
Yeah.
Because that's shit that could change the actual story of the game given they were actually
attacked.
And three just feels like that.
It feels so, like, linear compared to the previous two, even more than two, and two is linear.
I don't know whose decision it was to release it when it was released.
Was it EA?
It's crazy rushed.
Yeah, because why would you, you have this, like, you start off with this really ambitious
game, like, too ambitious.
You can't make it what you want it to be, so you make it something else.
like in the time that you have
you get that out
and then how many years was it
what three years
three years? Yeah
three years till Mass Effect 2
Was MassFit 1 2007
Yeah same year as Hey so yeah
Then three years to 2010
Then two years for MassFit 3
Yeah why would you give yourself
Less time to make
The most ambitious one
More ambitious than the first one
That you couldn't even make
And I think considering that
Considering the restrictions in the context
it is a good game.
Yeah.
And there's plenty of really good shit in there and lots of payoffs.
I don't like having to consider that, though.
Yeah, that is what's lame about it.
But I think the conversation actually gets a lot more complicated than that,
and we can't talk about it more without just delving in,
which we're not going to do here because, I mean, yeah, it gets to a point.
It just dominates.
We're going to do videos on every game and just go through and talk about it.
Yeah, just so it's off my mind.
Yeah.
Yeah, we'll see after these messages.
B.
Um, hello, this is me, Argi.
You do realize that there are Mibo shirts available, right?
Take a look at the really cute shirts.
Look in the description or under the video for more.
Welcome to the second half of the...
God, I keep wanting to say corn.
But it's the jarca.
It's ingrained.
corn anymore. I know. We've got to switch off the corn.
This is the part of the show. We head over to the suggestion thread on the JAR Media subreddit and
answer questions. Head over there and ask us anything you like.
The real Ron has got our first one. Oh no. We already answered this. It was an
Eternals question. My mistake. Absolutely bonkers, mate. It was actually going to start
off. This is the debate that might end the friendship between the Jal boys.
What is better? Bread or pasta?
No, there's no fucking comparison.
it. They're completely different things
for completely different times. No,
there's not. They both fill the same gap
in a meal. Both carbohydrates. Yeah.
Okay. The scientifically
they do, but for me
they do not. What's more versatile?
Versatility.
Bread.
Bread. Bread.
It might be bread.
It's bread. How?
Every type of sandwich.
It's a different experience.
A muffin. Yeah, but every type of
pasta. Every different type of bread.
Mm.
You can't make a bread...
Well, you can't put bread and salad.
Bread pudding?
Bread pudding, yeah.
Eggie bread.
Eggie bread.
Yeah, egg bread's good as far.
I would say I did make spaghetti the other day and because there was too...
What are people who aren't us called eggy bread?
French toast.
Is it French toast, though?
No, it's not.
I don't think it is.
French toast might be something different.
It's something different.
No, but isn't French toast something different in America?
No, I'm pretty sure French toast is French toast.
But I made spaghetti the other day and the sauce was so liquidy at the bottom.
I got bread.
to soak up the juices at the bottom.
Nah, that's wrong.
You don't want fucking watery sauce, bro.
No, it is French toast.
We just don't put vanilla and like sweet shit.
Right.
Oh.
Wait, I swear they were different.
I don't want sweet eggy bread, though.
I don't want eggy bread at all.
Sorry, yeah, that is the clarification.
Wait, so you don't even like egg bread.
Eggie bread is savoury, French toast is sweet.
So it is the same shit, basically.
Right.
I really hate eggy bird.
So, no, but I still think pasta is better.
If I had to live without bread or without pasta, I would live without bread.
I would live without bread.
Really?
Yes, because I fucking love bread.
You can never have a burger, one of those, like, a chicken fillet or anything.
But pasta is just a, like, bread is like you make something with bread, pasta's a fucking meal.
Bread's like this kind of, when you get up the morning, you're going to have a sandwich, you know?
Sandwiches are awesome, though.
Sandwiches, sandwiches, burgers, anything like that.
But pasta is a core.
part of my diet. Yeah, pasta's incredible.
Like, four out of seven days a week, I'll
have pasta for dinner. I think they've nailed us here.
I actually, like, I can't make a
decision. I fuck enough bread.
Because I value, like, an awesome burger
and an awesome pasta meal.
Yeah.
And they scratch different inches for me.
Also, also,
like, whole meal bread is nicer than
whole meal pasta. I hate that, like, brown
whole meal pasta. Shit sucks.
And I feel like I experience a greater
a variety of bread.
I'm getting
something different.
You know, the different shapes,
they're cool or whatever.
Does bread count as pizza as well?
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah, there's too much good food.
I'm sorry, bread wins.
It's really,
I actually can't decide.
If I have to live with that one of them,
then I'd rather not live at all.
Yeah, maybe that's the true answer.
But then you also won't get breaded chicken.
It's a KFC chicken.
Some of it's breaded.
The fillets.
Nah, past is too crucial to the way...
Bread, bread would win.
Snoo's 7-1-271 says,
What is Hobgoblin?
I live in America and I found a Hobgoblin t-shirt that said,
What's the matter, Lagerboy, afraid you might taste something?
And it was this bizarre creature.
Ever since I've been fascinated with Hobgoblin,
I asked this because I saw you guys drinking at once.
Hobgoblin is an ale.
it's a bitter
do Americans not drink ale then
they drink IPAs it became
IPAs became really popular in America
Is that what white claw
Is that the
Opa
Or is that like
I don't know I've never had white claw
I don't know
I've never had white claw
Is like a can isn't it
Yeah it's like
It's like an energy drink alcohol thing
I think I'm not sure
Yeah
It's just the like the go to meme
For people who don't can't drink alcohol
They just drink white claw
Yeah yeah
Yeah. I was going to Google it, but...
IPAs can often be quite sweet, though, aren't they?
The hobgoblins are not like that.
I find IPAs tend to be more citrusy.
That's what I mean, sorry.
Yeah, citrusy.
Yeah, sort of grapefruity.
Even orange ones.
I don't think passion fruit is citrusy, but...
I had like a tangeriney one, which was nice.
Yeah.
A couple weeks back.
But yeah, so now.
I don't know what else to add to that.
That's just what it is.
We just drink lots of ale here, I guess.
Yeah, it is extremely British.
It's just more of like, it's a heavy drink.
It seems more wintry, like.
Yeah, it is heavy.
Um, I don't think it's, it's the kind of thing where, for me personally,
if I'm at a pub, maybe I'll start off on an ale and then move to lager.
Yeah.
Or even spirits.
Lager's just lighter and fresher.
Yeah. More of a summer drink.
Hunter the Stick has one.
I'd gotten into scale modelling and discovered something I loved.
And I never would have known if it wasn't for Rubin and James, say thank you.
James' excuses are invalid.
James has some misconceptions about time to do.
I give my models a few hours at a time and have a makeshift table of five foot by two foot,
which isn't a lot of space and it's mounted to the wall like a shelf.
See, this sounds fucking easy.
easy bro the supplies aren't expensive you don't need an airbrush for a one-time thing
just paint glue and brushes that's all and now for my question why are you letting
some of the best kits gain dust well have you started one of them already and haven't
said anything about them don't say a fucking word um to me um that shit kind of seems like
adult like you know it is it is when you have to start getting your paints out and
have a special table attached to the wall okay so
So what this guy was on about, I get, I get, when you've got a proper setup, it's, it's quite easy to, like, trip away out.
I live with my parents.
They are the most, like, fucking, if I, if I had a setup, a permanent setup, they would move everything.
They would clean it.
With pain and...
I lose parts.
It's not that I don't have the time.
I have the time.
I don't have a setup that makes me, so I can just...
You don't have the space.
Yes.
And it's just, I can't do it in my room.
My parents would be funny about paints.
It's like, I'm not...
When I have a set up...
my own house I can do that stuff
but with my parents it's like
I save myself a lot of stress
by not doing it
yeah I'm not a fucking dork
so I'll never do any of that lame that shit
I'll just play Mass Effect
OPEX Legends all day
Young Molesh as well
What do you guys' thoughts on Breaking Bad in the spin-offs
I personally love this series but I'm afraid the movie
might be a disappointment
also didn't know there was a show about Saul
until recently thoughts
Breaking Bad
Incredible
Betakal Soul
Incredible
I really liked
The El Camino
El Camino
El Camino is good
Yeah
It's
It was
Nice
It was nice to get
Jesse's story
Kind of wrap up
Because
The focus is more
On Walt
In the show
And Jesse's kind of
Like a strand
So you get
Some kind of
Conclusion to that
I suppose
Um
But it's
I understand
exactly where it's coming from because I remember that fear after watching Breaking Bad and hearing about this prequel shit and so many prequels are bad and Saul as a prequel. Yeah, it was like, how often is this shit good, but then it's Vince Gilligan and he puts in the time. Because it was Saul as well, I was really expecting the show to just be like a comedy. Yeah, I thought the same thing. It was going to rely on the comedy and the comedy's definitely in there, but it's more like it is in Breaking Bad, where it's kind of dark comedy. Yeah, I've, I've,
the last time I watched Breaking
Back, because I've seen it like three times at this point.
It is a surprisingly funny show.
It's essential how dark it is,
because it's like really dark.
He's like killing people a few episodes in.
Do you know, sir, I've not finished,
I've only finished the first season,
but it's, I, my family have never watched it,
and I've always been like, you know,
you should have watched this, this is really good,
I've seen the first season.
And it's a way, their perception is,
it's going to be really depressing
because of the,
just the subject of
Walter getting cancer
and they instantly put that off
and it's like
That's interesting
That's completely false
It's like there's more to it
than just water has cancer
Normally that's like
The hook is because he's like
He's got nothing to lose
Yeah
So watching him break bad
It's like kind of the
The whole point
And the fun of it
But
They just don't get it
Flawful freak has one for us
What do you gooners think
About the Portal games
I finished both of them last week
And I love them
Glados has just
such an interesting character
and playing with the physics
to solve puzzles was so much fun.
Thoughts?
Portal 1 is a masterpiece.
They both are.
Portal 2 is a really good game.
You don't think it's masterful?
I don't...
It's not on the same level as portal 1.
Really?
I think the writing is...
I think the writing's amazing in Port 2.
Yeah, I agree.
But
I wish
their original plan
I'm not sure I know what their original plan was
So originally
Glados wasn't going to be in the game
And J.K. Simmons was going to be
His character, he was going to be the equivalent
But they did
They did play tests
And everyone was like
Where's Gladys? I hate this
Really?
Yeah, I think they might have even been testing
With like different puzzles
Like it's not just portals
Like you have different mechanics and shit
I might be getting mixed up there
but yeah i think if they could have actually made the game they originally set out to
it could have been more interesting do you not think the story that came from that
that was still kind of cool like waking up gladys and weatley in that weird power thing that
goes on with them yeah but it is also they what's it called when you like backtrack
retcon retcon um the whole song at the end of portal one's still alive at the start of
portal two she's dead like you have to wake her back up it's like there are loads of little
nitpicky things but it does sort of affect um i just think the the actual dialogue is so well
written and the lines and the voice acting itself Stephen merchant was like a great
because jk k simmons is still in the game and he has some of the best lines in the game yeah
yeah the lemonade but they also force in the uh the like glados backstory which is
I'm totally down with her having a backstory, but that story element isn't utilised.
She has like two lines as a human.
It's kind of weird.
Did you do the co-op stuff?
Yeah, the co-op stuff is really, really fucking good.
That's probably the masterpiece part of Portal 2.
Getting that design to work with two people.
Yeah, and it's just so much fun when you're communicating with someone like...
Yeah.
Yeah, I played through all the co-op.
when it came out and I played through the story mode a few years ago now so they're not
up-to-date thoughts Bernie means but I remember really really liking it yeah it I might I might
look back on it slightly harsher because I'm way more familiar with Portal 2 for some reason I was
just obsessed with Valve games and the universes they build so when Portal 2 came out I played
it like over and over and over again I love that
it. Well, yeah. I always remember
that that era specifically
because it was when PSM went down
for a month. Port 2 came out.
Oh, really? I remember that.
Yeah, that's, wasn't it to do with hackings or something?
Yes. That's when I left
PlayStation was when that started.
Right, yeah. Yeah, no one had their
like credit card information on it after that point
because I was scared. It's a bit different
story now.
The Goad has
one that you might appreciate James.
Since you guys mentioned Berserk, I figured I had a duty to bring up Vindlan Saga to your attention.
Have you heard of this, James?
Yeah.
It's adapted from a classic Sinen manga.
Am I saying that right?
Sinen.
Sangen, yeah.
Manga that is renowned as one of the big Sinen series alongside Berserk and Kingdom,
which has absolutely awful anime adaptations,
with Berserk's adaptations being somewhat tolerable,
but paling in comparison to the original manga.
But Vinland Saga stands out because the animation is actually pretty good.
It's clear the animator has really had a passion for the source material.
as they preserve all the pacing, story beats deep and complex themes, and incredibly fleshed-out characters of the manga.
Do you say manga or manga?
Manga. A brief synopsis of Vinland Saga is pretty much the story of Vikings invading Europe and the gradual transformation of a young, innocent Viking boy, Thorfin, as he grows to become brutally violent and bitter, the very antithesis of everything his father wanted him to be.
What makes it stand out is the incredible attention to detail. Half the characters are real people that existed during the time period in the aligned.
into their real history almost perfectly.
Everything feels so visceral and real
that shows you all the raping, murder, pillaging
and all sorts of terrible things that the Vikings did
and it doesn't romanticize it at all.
It just shows you everything for what it is.
It's a fascinatingly deep and grounded world
that you can just lose yourself in.
And because of the realistic setting
has an even more powerful impact
since everything you're seeing is something that happened
or could have happened in real life history.
I cannot recommend it enough.
An 11 out of 10 anime that more people need to see.
That's Vinland Saga.
Yeah, so here's the thing.
I have this thing called The List, and it's things I want to watch.
I don't watch anything on this list, because I never find the time.
Yeah, it's like an IMDB watch list, or whatever.
Yeah, it's less like, I've wanted to watch Ford versus Ferrari, or Limon's 66,
where people who actually know what Limon's is, Americans.
Yeah.
Really good movie, but yeah, that was one of the movies I wanted to watch.
I watched that yesterday, and Vinland Saga's been on the list forever.
It came out quite recently.
I've just seen mixed things about it
Is it quite a long one?
I've not heard of this before so
It's a normal length anime series
But it's on the list
I will watch it eventually when I finish Jojo
Did you want to talk about
Limon
Quickly because we all watched that yesterday
Yeah yesterday we decided to watch
Le Mans 66
It's about the Ford versus Ferrari era
Of Le Mans
he's got Matt Damon in and Christian Bell
It's 2019 I think
Yeah it's quite recent
James Mangold
The director of Logan
directed it
Really good movie
I've really really enjoyed it
Yeah I enjoyed the story
As someone who like just knows nothing about cars
Like it was all new to me
Yeah I
It's because the easiest thing to compare this to
Would be Wash
You know
Yeah
You know the cinematation of a racing moment
But I think
Was kind of
It was very entry level
It didn't go into the details
Of all the technical stuff
as much, but this had like that
information, the technical
information that I would appreciate because
I'm a car person. Because you were definitely
picking up on shit that went way of my head.
Like that Christian Bale character seemed like he was
written for you. Like all the shit he was
saying, all his comments were like... Yeah, he sounded
like he was a guest on Top Gear
or something. Yeah, he's like
always quipping about, like, and making
fun of people's car choices and
he's like a proper gear-ed
car guy. Yeah, and that movie had that
vibe and I thought, there's a lot
CG in it because you can't have a movie with that
like ear with like it's set like
1960 pretty much but they
they did have real shots you can see the real shots
when they're like moving between the cars because
they are obviously they're driving on that track
and then the rest is yeah I thought
the visual effects largely were
pretty good actually yeah I thought so as well
especially with how much of it
is in the movie yeah it's
it's not a short movie because like rush is like
hour and 40 it's quite short this is
this is quite chunky I think I actually prefer
rush personally
because I think I just get more emotional
connection out of that movie
Yeah that movie just with the soundtrack by hands
The soundtrack's really good in that movie too
You get so emotionally connected
I could have done with like 15 minutes
Maybe being shade off of Lamont
I agree
I think I actually preferred Lamont to Rush
Yeah like James said
I find the sort of nitty gritty business side
the scum fuckery though although I didn't like the sort of bad guy he was a bit too evil and I
found it distracting that John Bernthal was even cast as the role he was in yeah he wasn't in it
enough it didn't seem like he was cast because he was the right guy for the job it just seemed like
yeah because it was him because it's him it's always distracting when you have someone like of that
kind of calibre playing such a small part yeah yeah I I just think uh Christian bail
he's like too good of an actor at this point
yeah his performance was so fucking believable
his manner like he just changes into someone else
yeah he does that thing that only the best actors do
where they they just become they genuinely just become someone else
and they yeah but you see that kind of body language
like reflected in the people you've seen in real life
like yeah no he's playing a British character
from like a northern region of Britain
and he
you don't
He sounds exactly like
David Thuleus
He's the guy
He's the werewolf from Harry Potter
He's like a
He's got that exact accent
Yeah and the same sort of
Way of moving
Yeah yeah
Mannerisms and everything
And his performance definitely
Brought the movie up for me
So
I like
What's his face?
Thor
Hemsworth
Yeah
I feel like I'm always shitting on him in charge
Yeah, yeah
But I like him
But I don't think he's like a masterful actor
See, it was in Rush
I remember the other guy more
The antagonist
Yeah, definitely
I'm the guy from Civil War
Yeah
Yeah, he's a really good actor
But
Yeah
Maybe I need to see the movie again
But also I don't find
F1 cars very interesting
Whereas the 60s sports cars
Are fucking awesome
Yeah, they were
And the, there's the imagery
of all the cars
is really, like I was just saying constantly
like that fucking shot is so sexy
because it's just like, and they're perfectly angled,
it's like, it's just a,
such good cinematography.
He's got a good style too.
There was some,
he's clearly got a flare,
the director, he knows what he's doing.
It seemed quite well storyboarded.
I never felt overwhelmed by like the action and,
yeah, like I know, I haven't seen
all of Logan, but I could tell with the way
like some of the shots when he's testing the car,
the way it pans and it's like going on the one of it is.
Yeah, because Logan, there's like,
like a um there's kind of a car chase scene and in that movie that's the point that probably
has the worst visual effects um the most obvious yeah he's like bashing through a
yeah yeah yeah and you can see sort of hints of that but because it is all like real was based
on real shit like the reference like i was just thinking about this like in in forza for example
the models are like so insane you can probably if you get at like the right angle within these
engines if you're just capturing it from the right with the right lighting everything it looks real
no i'm saying like if people are gonna if movie company is gonna make car racing movies they really
should be contacting game companies because it'll be cheaper than having a season
well that's how that's what they're doing with like mandolorean like they're using i think it's
unreal yeah yeah just rendering these environment it makes so much sense
you fucking willie i don't know what they're barking at but but yeah i enjoyed my time with it
I mean
Yeah, I did as well
I don't know why
but I like Matt Damon as well
He's quite a good movie star
He's
Yeah
He's got like a sympathetic thing going on
Yeah
He's a little bit ugly too
And I can relate to that
I think
Do you know
I mean he's not ugly
But he's sort of oafish
I don't mean to be mean
To the guy
No
I know he'd mean like sort of
You know like Joe Rogan
He's got that
Yeah
primitive thing
but I think that movie
Damon and Bail just they carry that movie
It's so well
It's worth seen for their acting alone
They're both very good in it
There's one scene that I think
I'd prefer just cut out the film
When his wife is like driving him
And being like ridiculous
Yeah that was a bit of much
Yeah and they didn't set up
That she didn't want him to go back to racing
She's the one that encouraged him to stay racing
And then she's suddenly like
right I'm killing us
the thing with the sun
didn't really connect with me either
I thought that worked
yeah there was enough stuff
early on where he's like taking him to all the races
and they have the feud
like the main reason the bad guy doesn't like
Christian Bell
because he's being a country son
yeah his son wanted to like touch this car
yeah the conflict was good
yeah just it boiling down
to these companies that just like hate each other and they're just
throwing money around
yeah I almost wish there was more of that
as the movie progressed more John
Bonthal interaction with
yeah because you get to a point where
that part just stops being relevant for ages
and then John Berthal comes back in and he
he keeps cropping up and sort of
smiling to the good guys like yeah
I'm actually on your side I may be a seat waiting for him
to like pull the Punisher look
yeah he just brutalized
yes good film
Volt Tech a US one
do the jar boys play grand strategy games
I think it's been mentioned that James has played
Civilization but if you played anything else in the genre
I asked because it seems the games from Paradox Interactive
are only getting more and more popular recently
Who's Paradox Interactive?
They make civilization
Oh really? Yeah um
They're getting popular because they're the most fucking addictive thing
Just game you can play is fuck
This week this week alone
It's just like we'll play some apex till 9 o'clock
Oh let's play some Siv
Fucking almost 1 in the morning
on a weekday we're just like
Jim we should stop playing now
I need to go to bed
okay one more turn
yeah yeah
James will say
okay one more turn
and then we go like 30
30 turns later
it's just like oh you can save now
yeah
no
last time it had to end with me
like stopping you
it always takes one of us
to be like
nah I'm done
I need to stop now
because it's the way the game is
it's just like
you are competing
against your friends
but also not
yeah you don't
know where they are. You can't see their cities. You can only gather intelligence from what
they tell you. And we just lied to each other constantly. So it's just like, I'll finally
find Jim and I'll see these little stats. It's just like, fuck, Jamie's got fucking 1,000 gold
and 70 signs. And I've got 13. And I'm like, fuck, I need to catch up. And it's just like,
I'm trying to build stuff. I'm trying to build stuff and build my cities. Yeah. And it's a game
where every time you play, you've learned a bit more about how to play. Yeah, you're like
breaking down the systems, figuring out
what way you want to go.
We'll play a match and we'll get quite far
into it and then because you've learnt more
or because the way it's turned out, it's just like, let's start
another match. So you repeat the process
every fucking day.
I've played like almost a few hundred
hours on it on Epic Store alone.
Yeah, I'm getting up there as well.
It is just genuinely
one of the most satisfying
experiences. It's so good. If you,
let's say people get bored. If you're
bored on a weekend, just play Siv.
Because then it'll be 10 o'clock and you're like, fuck.
Where's it gone?
And we've been trying to bully you into buying it was so fucking long.
Get it, Alex.
It's my, it's my mental thing where I have to disconnect PC and video games.
It is on console, though.
It'll be a miserable time.
Yeah, I don't know if playing it on console, there's any fucking point.
You need to be like, ding, ding, ding, ding everywhere.
But also it's the only game James plays with a mouse and keyboard.
Yeah.
Because I don't have to be quick, I can just be like...
All you have to do is you sit there with a bag of popcorn
one hand on the mouth, leaning back.
That's it.
That's it, yeah.
I was just seen popcorn the last time we were playing, just like...
I've got popcorn in my mouth.
And I'm someone that was really never into this sort of game.
But it hooks you.
It's like Steve-er-and-he put it through his mouth, it fucking grabs.
Yeah, yeah.
You ain't going.
And you're in with the sharks.
But no, I haven't played any other games of the genre
No, I did recommend that we should probably get humankind
Which was like trying to compete with civilisation
But they've delayed that till August I think
Because it looks like a
It looks like a good beat sieve
From what I've seen
But I think everyone should try sieve
Because it just gets your game, your mind going
Even if you're not someone that normally plays video games
Just try sive
It's because it's a genre
like I'm so not used to it requires no
reflexes or anything. No, you can take
your time as long as you want
you can properly figure out.
And there's the tutorial mode, really
good, because it's how I had to get into
the game.
And it always explain things
to you. And can't forget, Sean
Bean is one of the voice actors for it.
Yeah, always forget that. That is a genuine, like,
it's a huge draw. Like, every time
you discover something new, he'll be like, dogs,
can't live without them.
That is the exact type of voice.
you don't mind hearing.
Yeah, no, I went back to Civ 5, and I started a new one,
and I got the same thing, the voice added it.
It wasn't Sean Bean, I was just like, man, I don't give a fuck.
But when Sean Bean says it, it's like, oh, it is tempting,
but I just really don't want to play on PC.
Vaux, very, very, you need to.
Come on, you have to try it.
It was free on the Epic Game Store.
That's how I got.
I didn't even pay for it.
Like, I've spent a few hundred dollars on the...
Yeah, fuck that.
Fuck the epic game store.
But I got it for free, so I can't complain.
And the DLC is quite good as well.
Mm.
Besides the stupid Bobburning encampments,
when they get these stupid fucking units, idiots.
Do you find it lame, though,
how it's just Fortnite,
all that Fortnite money,
they just bought their way into that market?
No, but then, aren't they losing every money,
money every day from this?
They're, like, spending so much money on that,
that free game thing.
It was, it was, like, in 2K, like, 20 today,
like this shit, this month.
A game this year
I mean I guess consumers are winning
Because they're getting free games out of it
But it's yeah
It's split in it when
When the next like fad happens
And Epic starts losing big money
And nobody's using
Their launcher and everyone's gone back to Steam
Which already are
Who actually uses any other thing
The only time I've ever gone on Epic
Is for those three games
I think
I think
Wasn't Borderlands 3 or some shit
Yeah probably
too, I think.
The thing is, they've all given up.
EA play, is this a fucking Steam thing now.
Yeah, Steam is just
gradually absorbing everything.
Like it always has been. It's just not changing.
It's just getting better.
Yeah, and I think Epic has
motivated other studios to join Steam.
So, I mean, in that way,
it is good. Yeah.
They are the necessary evil
to make gaming better for everyone else.
Potentially.
Um, Bumper Munch says,
this question is for Alex.
It seems like he aren't too fond of playing specific types of open world games like
Breath of the Wild or Phantom Pain.
The types that are extremely open-ended and really encourage player experimentation.
Is this true?
And if so, what is your reasoning?
Cheers, Ming, dings.
I wouldn't say I'm specifically put off by those kind of games,
but I'm specifically put off those two games for hyper-specific reasons.
Or the same hyper-specific reasons.
Um, actually I'd say they're different
Oh really? With Phantom Payne it's because
The
It's like a weird jumping on point
It feels like for me to start getting into Metal Gear there
Honestly you can play that game
Without even thinking of Metal Gear in any capacity
Yeah I've heard that too
I don't know what it is
I'm just not interested in that game
I never I never finished it
I got sick of it quite quickly.
I just didn't.
It doesn't have enough, like, robots or aliens.
It's got other crazy shit, but...
Like, whales and stuff.
It's definitely past its golden age.
Yeah.
Going back to it now might feel a bit...
And I would much prefer to play Breath of the Wild over,
Phantom Pain?
I think that will always age.
And...
Like, 20 years, I think that game will still be...
I would play Breath of the Wild tomorrow
if I could play it in, like, 4K is 60.
Yeah.
I don't know if it's like elitist or whatever to say at this point, but like, I don't like playing it.
Um, like I played it on my switch for a few hours.
But I mean, I've kind of had my fill of open world games full stop and I know they like really went in with the freedom stuff.
But I just, I just don't care.
Yeah.
Breath of the Wild is a different type of open world.
Yeah.
It's just not the same thing.
But it.
with Breath of the Wild
I'd say play it handheld
in that
in my mind I can justify it being 30 frames
and like looking a bit worse
like when you're on a plane or something
you can just like get sucked into an actual open world
that is different
yeah I don't know what it is
I've never really gone in on Zelda
honestly
yeah well this one was definitely the one for me
I don't think I would have really liked
and I did watch Ruben play it
for like hours
and fucking hours
I saw so much of the game
you saw so much of both
yeah
they were
yeah true
they were just the games
that
yeah that
Witcher 3 as well
I saw a hell of a lot
of one of the other games
I
it's in my like
you didn't play Witcher 3
yeah
it was because of that
Torterra
is my starter says
I know we've been talking
a lot about Mass Effect
but I got around
to picking up legendary
edition a couple days ago. Thanks to all the great things you guys had to say about the
series. It's my first time playing through the series and I absolutely adore it. I've been growing
more and more bored of video games the time has gone on but Mass Effect brought back everything
I loved about video games in the first place. Great story, world building characters and of course
gameplay. Thanks for the great recommendation. See this this is but I'm glad you got to
experience it. Yeah this is what I was hoping to hear from if it's someone who's never played it
and they're still able to get into it. They'll get that love. Because it's been there's been a reminder of
that for me too. Just like, yeah. Things can be nice. Let's do a couple more quick
ones then. Mild and Wild 420 has one for James. Mr. James. What is your opinion on car stickers
slash vials? I'm not sure how popular they are in Britain but in the US it's pretty common to see
things like if you want to ride my ass at least pull my hair or something like that
plastered on the back windows of people's cars. Do you have any said sticker?
that other boys can answer too.
I was telling you guys I saw a van
parked in Tesco that had the umbrella
logo on it, but it also
had like a bunch of like skeleton hands
and zombie arms and it was like, this vehicle's
a zombie killer, a machine.
See, I don't like,
I don't like the sticker
example he gave. Like that's, it's
quengy. Like when it's like
if you want to
why you've got to pay with ass, it's just like
no, you're a cucky boy
you stuck a stick on your car. Like, no.
cringe. What's that one? There's that car around here
that's like, fuck.
I get fucked by the government. What was it?
I get fucked by the...
I don't need sex. I get fucked by the government.
That's the one I've seen around here.
I understand the appeal with stickers
because it's like, it's your crew, you know?
Like, think of old Japan. They'd have stickers of their crew
and that'll be their club. That's their street team.
I get that and why some people want to be part of this group
and, you know, that's like a community. That's cool.
But I don't put stickers on my car
because if you see a car
with loads of stickers on it look sporty,
you know that person's probably been a bit of a cunt in a car
like street racing, doing dangerous things.
It gets you attention from the police.
And if you put stickers in certain places, it's illegal.
But I don't do any of them
because I think if you're going to sticker,
do it like go all in, like a race car.
Have it properly done out professionally,
so then it looks good.
Just sticking loads of stickers on every panel of your car
looks a bit ridiculous.
Unless it's of Chucky
Unless it's a Chucky theme
No but that thing
They've gone in
They've actually gone in all the way
And they've made the whole car
Like this chucking in our town
That has customized
I'm pretty sure someone
Found it on Reddit
Or not found it on Reddit
But found it
And put it on Reddit
Someone from our town
Took a picture of it
And put it on Reddit
That's what I'm trying to say
What is the brand again
Is it
Is it a Cruiser
It's the Chrysor
The Quisor
The worst car
Breaking Bad
It's humiliating
The one that
I think Michael Scott
From the office drives one as well
They are the ugliest car ever made
They're fucking disgusting
Yeah they're horrible
So putting Chuckie all over it makes it way better
Yeah
I would see that
It's embracing like
Yeah
It's fucking ugly
Yeah
But then you think of the Joker van
In the town as well
Like he just stuck
He fledger on the side
I found out there's more than just the van
He's got a caravan as well
that has um
the you know that classical piece of art
with the two like angels
yeah yeah yeah it's that but with um
walking phoenix and heathletcher touching
on like the bag on the side of like a hamburger van
that fucking huge
it's the funniest shit
it's like if he's gonna do that
do the whole car like the truckie car
because then it kind of work and not just
I mean he kind of has
but not on the van the van the van is just
he fledger's face
I think there is something on the side
I hate you gotta look out for it man
it's crazy
we live in a fucking weird town
we live in a society
clearly
let's end on this one from
your royal flyness
hello jar
I was rewatching the modern epic of our time
jarcast 196 the normal episode
not five minutes in you lads
mentioned doge coin
and Alex says
make sure you all invest in your doge coin
it's going to be the next big thing
remember that this episode was
release December 2019.
It feels like last year
because of corn time.
Thoughts?
Can I just say?
If you listen to me
about GameStop,
if you invested in Dogecoin,
you'd be fucking rich.
Why aren't you listening to us?
If we listen to ourselves,
we'd be fucking rich.
I fucking hate the world
we live in, man.
Why?
Maybe it is weird
the amount of things
we've just been like we said before.
Is it also like Mort is becoming
Yeah, Mort's like a big Twitter meme?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, we've got some weird power
we are influencing the meme economic stratosphere
we are the
we are
the bottom of the iceberg
the bottom of the iceberg yeah
I watched a hidden experience video about the halo iceberg
where he goes through all the tears of like obscure halo shit
it's pretty funny
yeah I watched a Dark Souls lore video
that was like it was rating
whether they were believable
because like in Dark Souls
you never know if it's real or not
it's like believable
it's like actual historians
going into Dark Souls and like
getting evidence for things
there was this um
do you remember in Halo 3 there's that weird Easter egg
but there's that like shirtless guy
in underwear like bouncing
and there was this weird like rumour
that it was like some dead guy or some shit
yeah
it was supposed to be a dead one of the deaths
like a dead guy yeah but that's just like not true
at all
no like at like some
guy who had died. That was like the
rumor or something. No, it's the
developer. It's the dev.
No, the rumor was that
it was some dead guy, but it was just the developer.
Like, it wasn't anything crazy.
It was just one of those weird,
remember that era, it was just like
everyone was lying
and all the weird playground
rumors and shit.
And my dad works at Bungee bullshit.
Whose dad didn't work
at Bungee, to be honest? Mind it.
Every other person on Xbox Live.
But I think that's it, guys.
Shall I leave us with a quote?
Yep, take us away, boy.
See you on the next one.
See you on the next one.
Our quote today is Corinthians 1031.
Oh no, sorry, this is Corinthians 922.
The saga of the Eternals, a race of immortal beings who lived on earth.
There was a comment specifically the last episode that was like,
I hate that duck.
Which makes me want to leave it the even more.
No, it's perfect.
It adds so much to the wall of normal kind of things.
Normal?
Yeah, the normal wall.
Okay, okay, it's not entirely normal.
That is the first one.
