What is inertia?
Anurias is like movement.
It's like, you know, boulder rolling down the hill.
It's got in a...
Shut up. You don't know shit.
Shut up.
Hey, Siri.
Hmm?
What's inertia?
Anerushes the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity.

though let's shout up the patrons
over at patreon
dot com for making the audio
versions of this show possible
and their names read out in the first week of the month
that's true that's true and even a
the odd early video
we've got loads in the pipeline at the moment
they're always coming out one week early on
Patreon so make sure
to watch them if you are Patreon
the last one was what the
it was the jarred tour of this very room
yeah yeah all the secrets
all the questions you have are answered in that video
It was a unbelievably good episode
I think it's the best video we've ever filmed
It's highly likely
It's ready guys
It's ready guys
It's ready guys
What's ready Alex
I suppose we've got some cleaning up
We should probably do before we move into the new freshies
Yeah
I've actually been debating
Even bringing this up a little bit
If we just jump into housekeeping
And dress some of the stuff from last episode
um last episode we talked a little bit about the um the halo infinite the flight or whatever technical test the technical thingy it was we'd only had a couple evenings of it at that time um literally one right i think it was yeah i can't remember one or two um so it was sort of our initial thoughts whatever i was um going through the comments and saw some feedback in regards to my kind of slant my hyper fucking
downery negative slant,
which I was very aware of, like,
coming in and out of that conversation
and I re-listened to it just to double-check,
let's make sure I wasn't being, like, unreasonable here.
And I get it, people are hyped about the game, whatever.
But, you know, I stand by what I said in last episode.
I feel like I have the right to say that.
I feel like I was real screwed by Halo 5,
and I feel like they've got to prove themselves
a little bit more for me to suddenly be.
like, oh yeah, they've done it, guys.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you're entitled to your beliefs in that.
Yeah, and as far as some of the comments go,
there's one here from Nacria.
Typical JAR opinion about Halo.
Don't like it, have no hope.
Proceeds to talk about UI and a little bit of redundant stuff
instead of actually explaining what's good slash bad
about the gameplay in their eyes.
I'm mostly agreeing with what you guys are saying,
but goddamn I kind of expected more gameplay talk.
Well, that's on you,
expecting anything at all.
True.
But I remember talking a little bit about gameplay.
Like, I think it's a dense topic, I guess.
Well, yeah.
And of course, the things that are going to be standing out most in my mind
are the things that are highlighted the most.
I guess that means, I don't know, it was okay with the gameplay?
No, the only problem with the gameplay is sprinting
that doesn't need to be in the game.
It has basically no...
Yeah, we don't need to get into it deep.
No, I was just like, I wanted to read it.
dress it at least.
Yeah.
Yeah, the gameplay sucks as well.
There's that covered for you.
I guess it's sort of a philosophical thing
where I'm just sick of seeing gamers for so
long, like the same cycle.
It's like,
yeah, it's good you'll get heading in the right direction again,
but please, can we like just be reasonable
about what we're actually getting around?
It's what I referred to as just destiny players
because it was the first game where it was very noticeable
that that's what the user base was doing.
Yeah, when you're jaded,
When you're three for three jaded like I am, my approach is the smartest just in terms of
if it is a surprise, and they do somehow bring it together.
I'll be honest, I'll tell you if I feel that way.
Yeah.
We just got to get there first as all.
Let's do this one from a flute ninja who can just get us warping off.
Looking forward to the epic discussion of the epic Venom 2, let there be carnage trailer.
next week.
So I think we can kind of shift into topics here.
Yeah.
Man, so the Venom 2 has a new one.
It's already got, what, 20 plus million views?
I think it was on 22 million when...
It'll be bigger than that, by the time this goes up.
Yeah, so this is, what, the first full trailer,
the first proper trailer for Venom 2?
It was one a few months ago.
You say either, me, see, neither.
Yeah.
trailer the one that was like beautiful
wait this might actually
so they've made it a musical
and the music is actually like
double down on the comedy yeah double down
on the comedy double down on the soundtrack
probably going to have multiple
Eminem songs this time
so I was excited this new trailer
nah
I mean what is there to even say
yeah
it's just another one
it's that Hollywood has done it
again
Venom's
done it again um i think actually looks like it's delivering what the only thing it could
what pure shit yeah i i i i'm i'll fully admit this i've never understood the venom
carnage like obsession like this just always existed like it's always been there that obsession for
those characters um i guess i can understand the fun in it when it's like in the spider man
universe and stuff i just don't get it on it on its own and now like venom and um carnage the serial
killer carnage is coming in um played by woody harrison with some great lines so what's that line
he whips out um oh it's this hilarious he's like um we're not the same you and i type shit
don't you remember he says everything you have i have or something and then he's
sucks his thumb and he bites
it
yeah he sucks the venom out of his thumb
yeah he's clearly
like a biter and that's how he gets
his venom power off of the real venom and becomes
a serial killer yeah because I guess
he was already a serial killer
but now he's a serial killer with the red venom
I have
absolutely no interest in this movie
did you even see the first one? No
I've got no
emotional or just
attachment or interest in this movie
and I probably won't see it
well I'm the opposite of you on this one
which is the first movie I'm actually hyped to go see
I actually
I want to see it
I want to see purely because the first one is actually so bad
yeah it's an atrocious
the big thing for me is the um is that running time
I'm sick of these two hour 20 minute
like movies that don't deserve
it um yeah and i don't need to see that from venom i don't need i could do with like a
yeah honestly an hour and ten minute of venom sequel it's not gonna be yeah that's what i want from
it but yeah it's like going to be an awesome mess of like to do all of it just look like it was
on um like a green screen with like these ridiculous like there's like a prison set with like
this endless corridor of like prisons and stuff and then carnage breaking out
I guess that's like what people want to see.
It's carnage breaking out of jail and killing people and like, um,
doing kind of sexual stuff,
like pinning people against the wall and shoving his tentacles down their throats,
that kind of stuff.
Yeah, that's true.
I guess that's part of the appeal.
It came out of his mouth and went down.
Yeah, it was his tongue.
Yeah, because there was that, that scene where, uh,
in the first one, where the girl
kisses venom.
Oh, that's right. Yeah.
Or kisses Eddie Brock and then venom goes from her
on to Eddie Brock.
That's right, yeah, so it's like him.
So it's like Venom kissing Eddie Brock?
Yeah, yeah, it's quite weird.
Hopefully they explore that in the sequel.
There's a lot of potential there.
Just a lot of potential all around, I think, for something.
Yeah.
I don't know if it's like a movie.
So it's weird Andy Circus is directing it.
What?
Venom 2?
Yeah.
Is he?
Unless for some reason my details are wrong on that.
I'm pretty sure he's directing it.
Which is just like, what?
Why?
It might be as good as a
Mowgli.
Let me double check that.
Uh, yeah, there it is.
Venom let there be carnage.
Fuck, I forgot about Mowgli.
Legend of the Jungle.
That's one hell of a film.
Yeah.
Any final words on Venom?
Absolutely none.
The music choice?
One is the venomous number.
One is the most number like venom.
No.
Two is a carnage one.
No, because I remember when the trailer for the first one dropped, I was like, oh, carnage is in this.
Yeah, that's right.
No, he's actually a rampart or whatever.
Or was it Rampage?
Yeah, it was Rampage.
Played by a really good actor.
It's a state man.
Yeah, I can't believe all these actors keep getting sucked into this pure shit.
it's because of money they're getting paid a lot to do it so why wouldn't they well as jim and i like we
watched suicide squad the new one the james gun one and i was like joking around like this this group
of like actors that are in like the mc u i know the suicide squad's not in the mccu but has a lot
of actors that are like in the mccc because he's obviously friends with them connected to them
whatever um it is like this weird group now of like that are like separate it's like an in
group where it's like you got Itoko Atiti's
like the whole cast of
the NCU, a bunch of random
directors thrown in there. It's like this group
that you become a part of. It's like the
new thing of, you
make it in Hollywood, you have to
get into Marvel. Yeah, you make like
the trendy indie film that everyone
likes, then
Marvel will snatch you up and then you make
Marvel movies. Yeah, or
DC movies. Like once you're at
that echelon, you just
get put in all the big shit
you get put in jungle run
you get put in a mouse trap
the jungle run
yeah did you want to mention that
did you want to throw that out there
suicide squad
yeah I feel like over the years
we've thrown a lot shade at the suicide squad
at the original
yeah was it 2016
the last time we saw that
well I definitely never watched it again
this
this movie made it seem like
it should have been so easy
to make a suicide squad movie
like it was especially if the main angle is
we want this to be funny we want comedy out of this
yeah yeah we want like a fun
superhero action film
and this film just delivers on like every level
yeah it's basically the inverse of the 2016 movie
yeah i think i made a joke when i made a video on the original movie
I was like, if you just made the inverse of every creative decision, then you'd have a good movie on your hands.
And it's like, it's basically what happens.
Yeah, and thinking about it now, I'm wondering if James Gunn's approach was to make it so similar to the original one,
but then subverting you at every chance to make it way funnier.
Yeah, yeah, way funnier.
Because there's certain things you're like expecting.
from the premise.
Yeah.
Yeah, because I kept seeing in the trailer,
like Idris Elber,
he walks into a,
like the meeting part in a prison
and talks to his daughter.
And I was just expecting some, like...
It was almost like they were advertising it
to look like that movie from 2016.
Yeah.
Or like a continuation of it,
so, because it was a big success.
So I was expecting some schlocky bullshit
just like in Justice League,
just like in the original suicide squad
with Will Smith.
but no the way they did everything it was just like great i thought i thought the movie was really
fun yeah just like random obscure characters that like you're like that can't be real and then
you look up and this yeah no that that was a fun thing was like looking up all the the really
stupid characters on my phone um and just seeing like yeah dc yeah that's one dc would just do
anything about then well they'll do anything now yeah they're desperate
Yeah, it's really weird because I've been like rewatching some of the 2020 Supero movies
and I rewatch the Harley Quinn movie like Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn's in this new suicide squad
and it's like she's not even in it that much in this new one but she's characterised and fleshed out
so much more than in anything that she's been in and it's just that it's the James Gunn Touch like
a lot of people focus on the comedy aspect but he likes the like humanity of characters
and explore the gentle side of it
which like
for just idiotic dumb characters
it does like catch you off guard
yeah totally in that guidance of the galaxy way
it's like all the movies he's made
up into this point like coming together
and to wunks it's got like the
sort of zombie genre shit from slither
makes its way in there
the guardians of the galaxy team shit
and the big like dumb cg bullshit
which is actually fine in the movie
like the
it's all like thoughtful and well-directed
and it's actually like creative and you can tell it's James voice
James Gunn's like voice coming through
um he clearly like was given creative control and it's like
yeah that's why you do that because then you actually get like good movies
and it's like a standout superhero movie
the main drawback of the movie is that DC have messed up so bad
mm-hmm like just just through association
with Harley Quinn being in birds of prey being in suicide squad
it does make you think like wait
is this a sequel to birds of prey
like is yeah it is confusing
yeah you can't help but think of that stuff
because like the MCU exists
yeah but luckily you can
with this one unlike a lot of the Marvel movies
it is just completely standalone you don't need any of the other
DC stuff to enjoy it really so
and I even enjoyed John Cena in the film
yeah I got to say man I threw a lot of show I throw
a lot of shade at John Cena and I don't
really like seeing him in movies
but like the way
he's written and his execution of that
character is genuinely really good
he was making me laugh maybe one of the most
yeah I think some of the funniest lines
I think he is the funniest character
so I shouldn't have underestimated James Gunn
because he did the same thing with Batista
yeah that's true that's exactly same thing
and I will say
for anyone that's like familiar with
my opinions this will surprise
no one, but this film was about in Guardians of the Galaxy One, like, easily to me.
It's a more consistent, because I feel as though James Gum would have been forced to do the
Marvel Schlock stuff with Guardians of the Galaxy One. I think that Guardians of the Galaxy
one falls apart for me, like in the last third. Yeah, I guess I just, I appreciate the context
of when that movie came out and what it meant at the time. Like, that was an era where there was no
Star Wars there was
it was new for Marvel even
like these characters that like no one knew or care
about or cared about and he was
able to turn that into something and with
the whole like aesthetic with that soundtrack
and the emotional core of it is a bit
stronger than suicide squad to me
but the humour is probably overall
better in um in the
suicide squad yeah
yeah I think action wise as well
I think suicide squad is better
uh yeah it's
close actually and I just like how stupid it is as well that because DC have just said
fuck it the James Gunner as a director could be like all right I'm doing the starfish
villain there's a big starfish yeah it walks around whatever it's it's just really
stupid and it works with his style I think as opposed to the guy with the hammer that
wants to use the stone yeah yeah or like the villain from the original suicide squad or anything
like that yeah yeah interesting kind of structure too i liked the timeline and the way it was
wrapping it on itself and yeah it was cool it was nice to see like a big dumb superior movie
that wasn't quite as dumb and had a bit more and their overall like commentary of it i quite
enjoyed as well that it was like yeah able to sneak that in yeah yeah i enjoyed it um unlike
a John
Sino movie we all saw
James
we mentioned this briefly on the last episode
is how the last episode ended but
the Fast and Furious Nine
The other John Sina
colossal
This is probably why John Sino is in my mind
It's like man I just don't want to see him in movies
Yeah
Because he's like
The main antagonist
For Fast 9
antagonist, protagonist type deal.
Typical Fast and Furious, basically.
Well, as a car fan, a Fast and Furious fan, what was your take on now?
The 9th entry.
Terrible.
It's not a good movie.
It's not even interesting.
It's just G.I. Joe.
We said that when we're watching it.
It was just G.
Yeah, it's straight at the point.
Yeah, it is G.
It is probably a better G.
Joe than those G.
G.I. Joe movies are.
That's maybe the one thing I'll give it.
Wasn't the rock in one of those?
Yeah, he was actually.
There you go.
Yeah, that movie sucked balls.
Yeah, it's terrible.
It was only redeemed by about 1% by just Jason Stathen's appearance at the end credits scene.
Because he kind of carried the previous, like, um...
Jason Statham is one of the stant.
He fits, he just, like, fits the Fast and Furious tone so well.
Whereas certain characters and actors just, like, pull me out of it every time.
Yeah.
John Cena in that movie for me.
Honestly, I think Dom.
I think Dom needs to go.
I find Dom at this point
to be like the cringiest
like self-insert
like fan fiction character.
There's like a moment in the movie where he's like
in this underground like
base thing and like 500 people are like
jumping on him. He's like fighting them single handedly
like his Captain American.
He grabs these giant chains and
break he he destroys the concrete ceiling above him by just pulling it down and then he
tumbles into the water below yeah but what how do you feel about this whole thing that comes up
when uh fast and furious arises and you start like you know picking it apart making fun of it or
whatever and then the it starts coming out like oh you're just like it's supposed to be like
bad and dumb and like they know it's like shit or whatever i don't think they do yeah i don't think
about it to you know this kind of stuff
but you just got to enjoy
the car like swinging
off a bridge no I think it's
serious it's serious it's serious action movie
I don't think it's the tone the tone is fucked
yeah the tone's messed up but you know what
if it was just like non-stop
car attaches to bridge and fucking swings
across a thing and then and suddenly
there's a magnetic car really rebels a car
through a thing like and it's just that just
non-stop but it's not
it's family there's like 40 minutes
sections where there's like maybe a bit of a fist fight but it's just like dialogue and
dialogue like like five or six Fast and Furious movies all have that exact same problem where
they were like put like a really stupid fun action scene like towards the beginning somewhere
and then just in the middle there's this chunk where like what even happens like yeah it's
meant to be like the heart of the film yeah yeah where you're developing the characters we
are learning things about them yeah but they always instead just do like oh uh there's like a new
McGuffin that's been moved somewhere or like some some hackers like hack something and like
there's a roadblock now so now you've got to do the next thing and it's never actually about
like the characters or anything so like what is it about if it is about the dumb action like
there's not enough of it and it's like and it's not good and it's not rooted in anything anything
like action for action's sake at a certain point is like yeah it's funny and I was like
laughing a lot when that car was swinging off the bridge or whatever
because it's just like,
you're laughing at it.
I'm laughing at it because I just find it so
absurd.
And like five years ago when people were making jokes about like,
they'll be in space soon enough.
And that's the inspiration they took from in terms of like,
where are we going to take it next?
Oh, let's just like, what do the Redditors want?
Let's go to space.
It's like there's so far, there's no creativity.
I thought the whole space part is just fucking dumb.
And I kind of like that it's dumb.
They fit a fucking rougher.
engine to a car, then launch the car into space and crash it for a fucking satellite.
That's dumb.
Yeah.
I was saying with that Venom thing where it's like, why he doesn't need to be so long?
Yeah.
Yeah.
90 minutes.
All you need for on that type of movie.
And I reckon you could probably just take the movie as it is now.
Brutely, just chop at that movie.
That whole middle section.
It still makes sense.
But that whole bit we were talking about where Vin Diesel just destroys this bunker.
with like his little finger
Mm-hmm
Get into that whole part
What was the purpose of that bit
Well it is so void of like any
core
Like story or anything
That we're at a point now where
And it's another recurring joke
In the Fast and Furious universe
Where like characters die
Like a few movies ago
But then a few movies later
When they need them again
Or they want like fan service with them
They'll be like
Actually that death scene
If you just show it from a different angle
They're fine
And then they like
That whole
Because Han died in Tokyo Drift
Be like specific with this
Because if someone has never seen Fast and Furious
This shit right here is like the most confusing thing
So go through the timeline of what they do
Leading up to Fast 9 with this character
No the most confusing part is that Tokyo Drift
Was released
Before all of the others
It was released as the third in the franchise right
Because it was trying to go a new direction
Tokyo Drift
Yeah
And it's
chronologically it happens after the majority of them yeah it happens after six before seven yeah
and the motivation in seven is that jason statham killed han in tokyo drift which was a recon
to begin with because that was meant to be just an accident yeah car crash he was drifting around a blind
corner crash happened typical kind of car stuff but no jason stephen was in the car and
assassinated Han
the car blew up
within it
yes
so then that's the start of seven
then in nine
it turns out
that the CIA
the special CIA operative
hired Han
to get this super weapon
to hack everything
and then to fake his death
he bamboozled Jason
Statham who had
thought he had killed
Han
But it was all a camera trickery
And Han is still alive
And he's been hiding in Japan this entire time
And he gave
On the day he died in that crash
He sent a postcard
Of Mexico
To Dom in America
And they find Han
By they're having a drink
Like at a bar
In Tokyo
In Tokyo
And they look up at a window
And there's a Mexican flag in the window
That's how they find him
And then they go
into the building and get
attacked
and then Han is just there
Han is there with a sniper rifle and he protects them
from the attackers
yeah this is the level
of writing that they've
stooped to I find
the every farce and fierce
including this one like since
Paul Walker's death they should just
they should have cut the series off at that moment
the movie ended with
kind of it feels so final
for the finality of that they both drive their set
at ways that that that feels so white because it's like you know he's actually passed you know
why carry the series that is so integral to him everyone knows the movies because of him and then
they bring they make the not the next one and at the end of the movie they tease him coming
back because they have his car his car's pulling into the drive and they've already said that
they need to bring in his brother for the next movie to film scenes about paul walker as in
his character in the movie, that's so fucking distasteful.
Yeah, it's incredibly disrespectful.
It's like, that's Paul Walker series.
Every car guy knows Paul Walker.
Every car guy respects Paul Walker because it was fast and furious.
They should have fucking ended the series when, the last one.
Yeah, especially when, like, going back to, like, the action.
For some reason, the gimmick for this one is all based around, like, magnets.
Yeah, I don't even remember why.
They just sort of come across a magnet.
magnetized van.
It's like the technology gimmick.
Yeah, it makes no sense.
Even though, um, and then it like, there's an action scene towards the end where there
are these like magnetic cars like flying into a truck or whatever.
And it's just like the basic same imagery of the stuff from Fast and Furious 8 with these like
AI cars like all just driving themselves.
It's completely repurposed from Fast and Fus 8.
Yeah, the whole final act is like the same as the one in eight where there's like drones flying
around or some shit
or no
there's like a hacker machine or some shit
that's like
I can't remember
no it's generally just mind numbing
it's a it's a fucking awful movie
and I don't
because I know we've got our series going
when we talk about car movies
from the car car point of view
I don't want to do any of the later
fast and viewers movies
because they're at least there was a race
at least there was a race in it
in nine at the beginning yeah
there was a
we didn't even talk about how it's a flashback to Dom's history
and his...
I will say, though, it is better than eight.
Yeah, I think my lowest...
I think eight is unbearably boring.
Yes, which is the worst thing it can be.
And seven is my peak in terms of that stupid,
fussing through us that I'm after.
But seven does peak after the first, like...
Yeah, they do the exact thing we're saying about it.
We're just that middle chunk is just like unbearable.
so boring. That's the one with
the walk driving an
ambulance into a fucking predator drone off
a bridge and then pulling them... Yeah, after he's
broken his cast with
his enormous biceps.
Yes, where they're driving the cars
through the buildings, you know,
they go through two buildings.
Yeah. That is
easily the best one. And it's...
But only because of Jason Staple.
Him being in it does...
Yeah. And it...
You know, I think Paul Walker was actually just
like, vital to the franchise.
Yeah, no, he was.
He was in one, he was in two,
and four onwards.
He is just fast and furious.
He added like a perfect,
right, opposite to Vin Diesel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, no, he did.
Like, you can complain about the work,
his acting, because he's probably not the best actor,
but he has actual love for cars.
So you can tell that in the movies,
because he's always the one talking about cars
and fiddling with cars.
it harners back to the original
with the whole car theme
but now they're not car movies
they're not car movies at all they now
action movies
their science fiction action movies is what they actually are
their paychecks for the actors and crew
yeah that extra layer of after watching the Tyrese
like his house breakdown
his mansion breakdown
just every time he was on screen
just thinking about those marble curtains
so they also almost
push the superhero
narrative. They joked about
the superhero. True, yeah, yeah, you're right, yeah.
They like start getting meta with it.
Like, there's a whole
bit where Therese almost like
looks into the camera and it's like,
are we just too lucky to be getting away with all this?
Yeah. Yeah, and that
bit annoyed me because he's right.
Mm-hmm. And like, they laugh at him,
like, we should be laughing at him as well.
And it's like, no, he's
kind of got it. They could have actually
made... I thought they were actually, like, finally
leaning into it and we're going to be like,
It's actually just part of, like, the law that they're just, like, all stupidly lucky or whatever, or some dumb thing.
No, they could do something just nutty with it.
Like, they might as well.
They just drove a car into space in this one.
Why don't they go, like, actually insane?
But actually, creative insane, not just, like, what they do.
Just, like, sci-fi.
No, what needs to happen?
What needs to happen?
James Gunn used to direct it.
Yeah.
Then it might be good.
He could probably make it work, to be honest.
It would be a waste
Yeah, it would be a waste
Yeah
But hopefully in a future of video
We can talk more about Fast and Furious
Did you guys have any other topics to throw out there
That isn't the dead bumblebee in that
Well I was just about to ask if that was like a thing for right now
Because I'm getting antsy
I want to know what's going on with that bumblebee
With the bumble
Yeah
Why is it there?
Why is it there?
why is it there um it's actually kind of a fucked up title
is this the one you say it's a story of loss and regret yeah
yeah the poor bumble um i saw that in your house like four days ago
yeah because the event happened four days ago really yeah so so you heard it too
the the bumblebee savior yeah why we were on our very regular
journey to McDonald's at 10 o'clock at night
regular you started talking about the bumblebee
you saved from a spider's nest
a spider's spider's web
But that's all I've heard
I thought you saved it
Well that's the thing
The day after I told you that story
Right
Which I'll tell the jarlings now
I've got like a lily outside the front of my house
And I kept walking past it
To go to the car or whatever
and I saw this poor little bumblebee, like, just chilling by it for a couple days.
It was just there for too long, so I was like, you know what, I'm going to bring this guy inside, give him a bit of honey, let him heal up so you can fly off.
There's something wrong with this guy.
It's obviously a bee, and I'm going to, like, pick it up.
So I went and got, like, some, like, chopsticks.
And I, like, gently lifted the little guy up, but I'm not very good with chopsticks.
So he, like, fell down and landed in a spider's wheel.
and then the spider like came out to fucking grab it so I had to like fight the spider off and save the bee
but now the bee um was like wrapped in spider's web um and it couldn't fly and one of his bat legs
was like stuck to it with web so um I got it inside and performed surgery on it and managed to get
all of the web off it and the little guy was fine I I looked over him was missing one antenna um but that
was lost before the spider incident i promise um so yeah he was like healing up he's just like
that gross tongue thing came out and he was like eating the honey like healing up getting strong
again he's trying to flap his wings um and yeah once i got the web off he was like healing good
and i took him outside put him on a flower he started like drinking the uh what the fuck
sweet nectar sweet nectar um and i felt really good about
myself he was like flying around like just drinking whatever the fuck they drink that beautiful
nectar and i was like okay i've done a good deed i can move on with my fucking life that night
there's a storm the next fucking day i i wake up to go out into the garage what do i see
there on the on the stone the bee the exact bee and why i just saw a bumblebee and i was like
there's no way it's that same bubble and i went and inspected it and saw the one antenna on the
on the same side
I guess God just hates me
Wait so
When you put it back outside to begin with
Was it the back garden?
Yeah I put it in the back garden
There's like blackberries
Like growing over the fence with all these flowers
Yeah yeah
So I put one on there and it was just chilling on that
So
So the storm happened
And the bee was capable of flying at this point right?
Yeah, yeah.
So then the storm happens and it happens to die in your garden still where you could see it.
No, no, it was still alive when I found it that day.
What?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it was like just about wriggling.
So I got him inside and tried the whole honey routine, but poor guy was too weak.
And he fucking died.
Bumblebee Blues, man.
Bumblebee Blues.
It's like, this world is cold and heartless.
You've got to protect bum, but they're, in my opinion, they are, like, the insect size where they're almost like just the next creature up.
You know what I'm saying?
The next creature up.
We're like, they're so, like, meaty.
There's so much to them where...
Well, they're fluffy.
They got, like, fur.
Yeah.
They're just cute little guys that we need to protect.
They are cute.
Yeah, they're not, um...
They're not gross.
no their tongue thing's pretty gross
but you just ignore that
no I don't think that's great
it doesn't matter because they're so small
no it's pretty gross if you look up close
did you have like a magnifying glass
while you were doing like surgery
no I got pretty good eyes
damn okay yeah
I really I really like bees
I think I've talked before about the bushes in my garden
and that at certain hours of the day
there's just bees everywhere
and I find that so unbelievably cute
and when I get my house I'm gonna make sure to have
loads of plants
so the bees can feast
I've had lots of
messed up
bee experiences
if I'm being real
I think you need
to just not go near them
anymore
I think you're the one
who's killing them
Alec
is you
I feel like
bumblebees
are extremely vulnerable
they're called bumblebees
because then
they're like
not really very good
at flying
they bumble around
I don't know
how like
any of them
survive like
birds
yeah
that's like an awesome
target
like a flying ball of fluff to just chew up.
Yeah.
They're pretty, like, poorly evolved.
How have they made it this far?
No, but they're perfect for what they need to do.
Just fat bumbles, just buzzing.
Why are so many dying?
Why are we in, like, a bee crisis?
The last time I experienced one of these bee genocides
was, like, walking around some of the, like,
farmer's fields, like, a few years ago.
and the farmers must have used some like dodgy spray or some shit
pesticides in that
yeah every few steps there was like a dead bee
it was like the slightest thing
yeah that's messed up
don't buy from McDonald's they use the worst pesticides and all their potatoes
they use the worst bees in their nuggets
would you eat bee nuggets
nuggets of bee meat
if the outside crusty bit was
honey
that was like...
Honey, yeah.
Honey roasted bee nugget.
That's too dark, man.
I was just telling the story
about saving the bee.
I mean, you know,
half saving the bee?
You know we have a kind of
unwristen wall on jar.
When insects and small animals
die, they go in the jar.
Really?
But we'd have to open the jar.
It might release a new wave.
A new type of bee.
Do you not...
I saw a hornet the other.
the day.
Really?
Yeah,
we were just
talking about
Hornets a few weeks
ago.
It was a huge
though.
It made me
feel a bit better
because it
wasn't that big.
All right.
It was,
it looked like
just a big
wasp.
But like
too big to be a
wasp.
Yeah,
yeah,
so I guess.
So I guess
could have been a queen.
Yeah,
maybe,
but I don't think so.
It was just
doing like normal
bug things.
Mm.
You know,
it wasn't
looking for a place
to lay low.
and create a hive
No, I still hate
Hornets, but knowing that
the English Hornet isn't that
mental. Not as bad as it could be.
Yeah, yeah, it makes me sleep easier at night.
I'll tell you what, it helps me sleep easier at night.

Welcome to the
second half of the JAR Media POSDACT where we answer questions from the community head over to the
subreddit suggestion thread where you can ask us whatever you feel like just like oscarman 97 did
who's going to start us off who would win in a fight to the death between i he alixi alix sardona cast
Alex I build everything Alex and man man man boy boy man Alex man man Alex man man man Alex it depends on
which era of Jara Alex?
Explain?
Um, crackhead Alex would win.
Yeah.
Mm, I agree.
I think, I think all the other
versions of Alex are just too pussy to even fight.
Agreed.
Especially I build everything.
I ain't go argue.
Alternatively, could Jim and James defeat all five Alexes at once?
Yes.
I think we will.
No, I reckon we could defeat four.
But crackhead Alex.
Crackhead Alex, no.
You know, because we've coined that era me as crackhead Alex,
I noticed a few comments of people confused, like, misinterpreting it,
as if, like, I genuinely was on crack during that era.
Like, just straight up.
Um, the gayest jar fan actually applied to that saying,
I feel like man, boy boy, man, Alex is the most likely to carry a knife.
thanks there are a couple comments um and I'm prefacing this by saying
I don't want to read these and this might be my least favorite jar debate in history
um so I'm going to read this but I'm not going to engage my brain into what
the sentences are forming you guys can just unpack it and just
Let rip.
Because I'm just not interested in this.
George is not okay, says,
Don't worry, James.
I got you, bro.
James is literally completely right
about the ripped, shredded debate.
The reason it's called rip slash shredded
is in order to gain muscle.
You have to put your muscles under stress.
They're not prone to yet.
As such, they rip and then rebuild better.
Shredding basically translated to ripped lots
or into many little pieces,
a definition given by the commentary
at the beginning of the previous episode,
which all you agreed upon.
So the commentary at the beginning of the episode
misunderstands what the term ripped slash shredded would be describing not the literal body as a whole but the muscle itself if the muscle is shredded it by definition was ripped apart more it therefore would have the more muscular final body james is absolutely correct his point comes from the actual science of our muscle is formed and what ripped slash shredded was even describing technically now read this all again and take a shot for every time i said ripped slash shredded have a great cast lads for real though and there was one other one
um brubb five pouch was right about the shredded stuff i made a post about it ages ago stop arguing
when you're saying complete BS mirror and beast mirror no wait that doesn't make sense you're so shredded
means you're more ripped yes how can you use the word that means less than shredded to say that
it's more.
Don't, I don't, no, not me, that.
No, you can't just pull up this fucking, this fuck,
you gotta be like the mediator, Alex
and the political debate.
You gotta, like, stop me at one minute.
You're UN and our war.
Our genuine war, you're the peace-speaking force.
Okay.
I rest my case.
Shredded is, it means, bigger than whipped.
You rip muscles, you shred fat.
You do both with those at the same time.
Four.
No, because to build muscle, right, you have to essentially damage it.
Being, drip, ripping or shredding or...
Two.
Damaging.
And then your muscle grows stronger, back stronger.
No, if...
One.
Hey Siri.
Mm-hmm.
What's stronger, ripped or shredded?
Sorry.
I didn't quite catch this.
Fuck you...
Oh my god.
Uh, no confession, 9482 as one for us.
This is a question specifically for James, although the minger to his left and the minger to his right can also pop up if they want.
Hello?
So I'm not allowed on this one.
I have a napping problem.
I once thought that I was a similar breed to you, a passionate napper.
But as time has gone on, I really...
time has gone on, I realize that it is a problem, not a hobby. I'm always sleepy and always need to rest,
even when I've done nothing to deserve it. I take supplements, I sleep enough at night. I do
everything I can think of to keep energy levels up, but nothing helps. As a passionate nap of
that works, podcast drives, sorry, drifts and goons. Tell me, how do you keep your energy levels
so high to stay productive? Thanks and good morning. What about the others? Just good morning,
but it's night or afternoon or afternoon depending on where you're listening yes see
I think there's a lot to say here because I am the passionate nap and I do nap a lot but I find
that I nap normally as a result where I'm feeling overwhelmed emotionally or stressed
whereas it's basically a coping mechanism resting your brain recharging yeah I need I just need
time away and the easiest thing to do away from anyone and any noise into
is to just nap is
it's the best coping mechanism
but I still
do nap when I
don't sleep enough
I'm I would probably
say now I've got like
chronically bad sleep
I don't really
yeah I don't really sleep all that much
if I go to bed at like midnight I'll be up at six
my body will wake me up at six
and I will probably be up at that time
doesn't matter what I do
even if I you know exercise or do gym
It doesn't matter what I do.
I'm always up.
Do you nap every day?
No.
Recently I haven't napped.
And I've been super productive pretty much every day.
I naped for the first time.
Really?
In like years the other day.
Yeah, it was like last weekend, I think.
How do it?
Because a lot of people, they nap and then they get that very gawgy,
slow, like feeling. I timed it
like just right in the day where it wasn't
like awkward timing where it impedes
too close to when you woke up or
going to bed. So it was like just right.
But that's very rare for me. I'm not a napper.
And I, I, the, the part of
how do I keep my energy levels up? I don't actually know.
I drink coffee.
I've stayed physically active and I don't know.
I don't know how.
I just kind of keep going.
Yeah, I have a couple of coffees a day.
I think we all drink coffee and I think a lot of people do.
We're in Europe, like, well, actually.
Excuse my tongue.
We are in Europe.
No, we're in America now. We left the Europe.
Oh, yeah, we left the Europe, dude.
We're in the United States for America.
We're finally tiny America for real.
We did it, guys.
I think with me, because I sleep so poorly, just constantly,
It gets to a point where I can't do it anymore.
But I physically can't do late nights, but I would just crash.
And I have to sleep all day.
I'll get home at 6 and I'll be in bed by 7, you know.
I'll do that for a few days and I've got my energy back.
That's the only, that's like the routine I have, the phases.
I've been a phase of high, like, productivity and energy.
And then it'll be the nap period.
Then it'll be just like crash and sleep a lot.
but the only thing that actually works for me
is what I tried
I just started having again recently is CBD
and that makes such a huge difference to my sleep
I can go to bed at 8 and I'll get up
I'll go to bed like 10 get up at 8
yeah those gummies are really good
yeah no like gummies
cookies um shots
they as long as it's got like
as long as it's got like 20 mG of CBD
it works for me
and that's what I usually use when I can
and I think if someone does have problem sleeping
it is because you lose nothing from trying CBD
you only benefit
I don't know how you could fight
like the sleepiness of one of those
like if you're struggling to sleep
it generally does help and it's what I'd recommend
because naps can fuck up your routine a lot
and they could just make
they can make your sleep worse because you are trying to sleep
Isn't there like an ideal time or something?
Yeah.
Apparently like 10 minutes is the best, but how on earth you're supposed to like time?
Well, I found with my naps, I'm not asleep.
Like my mind isn't in the plane of my womb.
I'm, my eyes are closed, but I'm not asleep, but I'm completely relaxed.
It was basically like meditation.
It's like, pretty much.
It's like when you wake up, short, 10 minutes before your alarm goes.
off. I'd say it's different
because that's like a more like meditation
if you're like trying to get to a relaxed
state with like deep breathing.
Yeah, you focus on your breathing. You just close
your eye and it's like sleeping but you're not
sleeping. So you don't get the negatives
of actually falling asleep and waking up
so soon. And that
works. That is snoozing, right?
I did, I don't think it is. You snooze, you lose.
Because when I think of snoozing, I think of
you know, I've got up at six. Like I do
and then it's like I've got to get up at seven.
It's like I'm in a horrible state
when I'm falling
and going back
and then checking time and then
No do you never snooze like on a weekend
where you wake up
like through habit earlier
and you think fuck it
it's the weekend
and you lie there and
like you said you never quite fall asleep
but you're not awake
you're sort of between the realm
I think they're two different things
what
snoozing and
and a napping like a good nap
and a snooze is different
I feel more relaxed in a nap
Like I feel more calm
Like I'm resting
The snooze I'm like
Why am I doing this?
I feel terrible as a result of it
I'm not a snoozy think
Like I'm the type where
When I get up
I'm up
I can't lay in bed
I've got to go up
And like drive somewhere
To fucking get my mind going
Yeah I get the same thing
When once I'm up
It's kind of just game over
So to me
You're napping and snoozy
You're like just different
an unlucky overlord left for us
an AI chooses a game at random
and JAR are teleported into it
Sordart Online style
and JAR have to make it to the end of the game
without dying
What is the worst case scenario
What's Sordart Online
It's an anime where it's a VR game basically
And the characters go into it
And they're stuck in it
So if they die in the game they're dead
Yeah yeah
like ugeo rules you know yeah
so think of
what the games we own what
ones would we
the worst case scenario
probably dark souls
a good one would be
what's the name of that game that I was playing
on game pass we're like
the bird one no no no
where you're like a
the thing
carrion
yeah carrion
yeah you're like a monster
you're like the creature from the thing
like breaking out
of a facility
but would you be
limited by the mechanics of that game
well I was imagining like just us just put in
as the people just be screwed
well yeah that would be after but I mean
like if we were put into Dark Souls
would we be limited
to like the movement and move sets of
of the
mechanics of the game
whatever's the most fair in terms
of this ridiculous question
like what are the rules and soil
are they like more capable than they are um they have like they've got like powers and
shit yeah it's like an RPG game yeah so they work with the game rules yeah yeah pretty much
okay so you've got to make it through a game and not die yeah pretty much dark souls do you just
die yeah but you can have knowledge if you know the game like in sword art online the main
character knows the game so that's why he's really good because he's played the game in in the
world so if you've played dark souls constantly you'd probably be good at surviving the actual
There's a bit where you have to die.
Then you're dead.
That's it.
Yeah, true.
Best case scenario would be like one of those Mario games that, like, just plays it for you.
Yeah.
Yeah, but that's not really...
Yeah, that's cheating.
That's cheating.
What about a Kirby game, then?
That's best case scenario.
No, the Gears of War would probably be a very, very terrible time.
Because that's not just death.
That's really agonizing death.
See if I just think about, like, Black Ops or something.
Oh my God.
Just Vietnam.
Yeah, I think that would be one of the worst.
Being, like, put into, like, Modern Warfare, too.
Yeah, any cause.
Yeah.
It would just be horrible.
Yeah, I think that newest, like, modern warfare
would be, like, the most hellish thing to be put in.
Speck-Ops the line, but actually, yeah, that would be fucking awful.
Because either way, you're probably going to die.
Yeah, to be honest, you could pretty much choose any game,
because most games are around, like,
conflicts and ancient evils coming back
that are, like, zombies and infections
and, like, The Last of Us will be a horrible one.
No, the witcher.
For the most part, that's normal.
No, they're horrible, like, mythological monsters.
Yeah, but if you're sitting in the cities, in the towns,
you'll probably be fine.
It's just you're not getting through the game
because you're just a MPC at that point.
That game's impossible to finish anyway.
You'll never finish it.
You'll never finish it.
A trap there for eternity.
you.
Paul Spector has one for us.

Which is actually tracking quite well on rotten tomatoes at the moment.
Is it out?
A few pundits on Twitter have seen it or something, probably.
Wanted to write in this week to share the observation that the podcast is slowly but surely
mortim to promoting a healthy lifestyle and advocating for mental health regularly.
The pandemic, it seems, has been a time of introspection for the board.
and it has surprisingly resulted in a generally more positive outlook on life.
Perhaps the hardships and restrictions have made us all appreciate what we have and take greater care of it.
I for one struggled immensely with insecurity and body dysmorphia before the pandemic.
I was staying at the gym until they closed it at 10pm whenever I could because of my school schedule.
Being forced to stay at home has made me realize how silly this was and what I'm doing in terms of my diet.
I would frequently resort to starving myself.
I'm working out in my bedroom with my own body weight and a couple of
dumbbells with the podcast playing on the TV and I've never been happier.
Not being around people to compare myself with all the time taught me to just focus on
battering myself and not neglecting my mental well-being.
Cannot wait for the spooky special, Paul.
We have had a very, very positive, like the last few episodes of health, mental health and
whatnot.
It's like, that's just...
I don't know what it was about this whole pandemic experience.
but it just
seem right
just seem
on the brain
in a weird way
it's like more people
experiencing things that a lot of people
that people have like anxiety
like you know fear for things
I think that was a lot more widespread
so a lot more people understood those feelings
so when you're talking about it it hits more
and things like
everyone's like diets and everything
have been all fucked up and like the COVID diet
everyone's talking about and everyone's been gaining weight
and lockdown not been able to go anywhere
so you know just kind of shits on everyone's mind
like people are eager to
fucking just move on and
not quite in that state yet
yeah just get on the grind set and
keep moving you know
but I think jar has always been very
you know pro mental health
you know back from the early days we were still
very much like that. We used to hate mental health
absolutely despised it yeah there was that whole
episode that was called like fuck mental health
right yeah
the mental health episode
It's interesting
With yourself
There's definitely like a
It's like a line in the sand for me
Like before and after COVID
Where
It's just a huge shift
In like mindset and everything for me
Um
You've got to learn from it
Yeah
It's just like a weird uprooting thing to be like
Okay you've lived this way
For like your whole life
I just live a different way for a bit
Get a bit different perspective
The fuck is with her
She's pissing me off
I think there were fireworks
Really? Yeah, it's been fireworks
Mike Hunt
O'O9 has one for James
What's your opinion on Itasha cars
If you had to own one more anime
Would you put on it? For those unaware
Itasha literally meaning
Painful Car in Japanese
Is a subculture where Japanese car enthusiasts
plaster their cars with anime to make it look
as shit and as cringy as possible.
It sounds like my kind of place.
I fucking love Itasha.
I fucking love it.
I want an Etasha car.
They're the ones that are all over like Forza when you're like on the
customised.
Yeah, when you go to your custom thing,
there's just anime girls on cars.
But it's a whole thing there because it's like,
it's just, you know, anime fans and funds of like, you know,
airsoft.
They combine into this where they, you know,
they modified their skateboard, their bicycles, their cars.
you know, with the hobbies of, you know, anime games and whatnot.
I think it's the fucking coolest thing.
Because, like, obviously, if you have that type of car, people are going to look at you a bit like...
You can't not look at it.
Yeah.
And that's appealing to me.
Because being in a traffic jam where everyone fucking knows your car,
they could be a Lamborghini next to you, but they're not looking at the car that the person spent money on to look, get looks.
It's the fucking car of the anime girl on.
Do you think cops would pull you over more, though?
It depends what a tasha car you have.
It's like driving around with a huge arrow, like, pointing at you.
No, because if you're, if it's like the pisser.
No, webes are the most law-abiding citizens of the morning.
Because the, with attachers, every car.
Every type of car, every type of style, drift, race cars, you know, slammed cars, vans.
They all get it.
So if you have the pisser with, uh, gerald on it,
that's not going to really get pulled over
but if you have a drift car with an anime
girl on it, probably going to get pulled over
but if
I'm going... Surely it costs a lot of money to get...
No, it's because it's printing vinyl, so it's printing
a custom design on violin having it in.
Then does it go like, what the next
level down? Is it like
based on the anime
you like judge
like the quality? Like if someone
chooses like a shitty trash anime
and puts like trash characters on it or does that not
I don't think it really matters
because it's like if you like an anime
and you just want to appreciate the anime
you can just do that
and there's simple levels to it
because you can just buy anime stickers
for your car that has the characters on
that has that theme
that's fine
and what anime did I get done
I thought about this
I thought about this so much
because I want to do it
I want to attach a car
what's the anime though
see part of me just wants to say
spice and wolf
because it would be fitting
yeah
because I think that would be sick
but at the same time it would be like
something Gundam related
maybe
Jojo getting Jotero on the side of my car
would be fucking sick
but it's just like my car
if I was to attach to a car
it would be a street drift car
so it would be like
cable tied bumpers you know
slammed it would be a car
to be used so it'd have that look
but I'd probably go over
Jojo at Gundam
but you Jim what anime character
would you put on the pisser
Um
Oh you know
One of the cool ones
Naruto maybe
Um
Goku
Oh
Avatar from Avatar
that last time
I think that
That would definitely work
On the pizza
That would be sick actually
So yeah
Just get the arrow
Blue arrow
But yeah
If I might have
An attach a car eventually
And everyone's gonna love it
I've got three more here
guys, for we wrap this up. Review Tech Brooklyn 9-9.
What's up, Gooners? I have a pressing
Cringmust 2019 related question
because James deserves some credit if this
was intentional. In
Cringmust 2019, James gave Ruben
a massive photo of a black-op
zombie's character, seeing as
how this character's name is Tank Dempsey.
Myself and other jarlings have noticed
that this seems like a brilliant callback to
Ruben giving James the model tank for Christmas
in 2016, since James
has now given Ruben a Christmas,
of his own. My question to James is, was this an intentional callback, or is this one of the crazier coincidences on Jha?
Also, did the other Jail members make this same observation? This weird parallel is surprisingly never brought up throughout the entire video.
No, I didn't. Because the whole joke is that it was a picture you posted in our group chat of the game with the crosshairs and the pistol of the character.
So I just found that funny and I put it on a massive print. I didn't, I didn't. The
tank part of tank Dempsey never entered my mind yet again another just yeah because that that's
I can't remember if it was a screenshot I took while playing you did it was your phone yeah I took a
picture with my phone of the screen playing card looking at James or Ruben and that's what James got
a print of so like it's not like you googled an image of tank Dempsey no I was just like
this is fucking funny I need to put this because
We show it on the, because the video went live to, as we're filming this on Friday, is the Torbom.
The other jar room explained.
And Tank is actually still on the wall behind our big TV.
I always forget it's there, but don't forget I'm here.
It's, I kind of want to.
It would be complete, like, heresy to do.
I kind of want to take it when I get my own house.
Because I want to actually just put it just in a room.
A dedicated room, the shrine.
The tank dumps you.
But at the same time it's jar law
So it deserves a place in this one
This shrine that we have
It does conjure certain emotions
It's like a museum compressed into a
Single lit
I still
That is still the great
The best thing I've ever fucking bought
You do you do not know how
Fucking excited
I would be in my room
And I just fucking burst out laughing
Because I knew it was in my room
I knew it was ready for that fucking Christmas
Yeah that's some patience
That requires patience
I remember ordering it on my lunch break
I was just like, fuck, I'm going
And it was so fucking funny to me
It was so fucking funny
It's genius
Yeah, that image cropped up a lot
In our group chat
Yeah, I had to
Best thing I've ever done
Bill Hader Gaming has a penultimate one here
If you boys are interested
I've got another point in this debate topic
For you to intellectually dissect
Is the word pound
one syllable or two
one pound
yeah
um
yeah one
pound
is that the whole question
that's the question
yes
okay how could you
they suppose it
P-O-U-N-D
pound
like a British pound
pound
pound
I'm
I'm trying to say it in a way
to make it too
Pahound
Pound
Pounder
Pound
C-A-A-O-S-C-A-C-A
Pounder
Pound
Pound
I love the word
Pound
I fucking love the word
I love the name CCH Pounder
That's one of the best names ever
No not one of the
The best name
Who is C C C Hounder
Hasnvader
Michael Asimvader
Wait wait
Wait no was CCC
That wasn't a real person though
No but that name is stuck in my mind
Asavader
Ass invader
Asinvader
um pound
the artillery guns the british used in world war two were they were pounders
like three inch pounder
well it's just i'm more i'm at this point i'm more intrigued by the question
like what do they how do they think pound is said announced
pound pound pound pound pay unth
is it the n d at the end pound
pound because around
that's two around
pound pound but no but that would be
three according to this person
yeah around makes sense because
otherwise it'll be around
around
pound pound pound is smooth
pound pound pound pound is smooth because it's one
syllable yeah pound
around
around
it isn't that
it's real hayd
man
you've got to get that game in line
and like clarify what
you mean by this I'm so confused
I don't know why is he just fucking with us
have we just being bamboozled right now
yeah it wouldn't be the first time
fine let's end on this one from
vibrating Pablo
and speaking of Pablo it's still not out
stop asking
hey jar boys what video games in your opinion
have caused the most damage
to the industry in recent history
Here are my personal picks.
No Man Sky has somehow
made it okay for companies to release
half-ass garbage because they'll fix it later
and I can't believe that most gamers
lack so much critical thinking
that they apply the pity of not having enough time
that may be deserved towards the team that made No Man Sky
towards bigger AAA studios that have no right to be releasing garbage
Bethesda's CG Project Red
and Destiny is also another bit
because, at least to my knowledge, destiny started the ongoing trend
of showing off other players' characters to you
to coax you to buy their shitty in-game currency cosmetics
or, God forbid those obnoxious Zuma dances
as the map is loading in.
And another note, it makes me realize
that we'll probably get to see Spartans dabbing in the near future.
I'd much prefer if every game had the beep, beep, beep, dark screen
than gameplay of Halo 3 because every time I see a dancing cue,
it makes you want to die. Cheers, Mingers.
Okay, my options would be
Mass Effect 3, because it introduced some popular
packs
paid packs. A lot of like awful shit actually that game
did with the day one DLC as well
with the Jabic name. Yeah on online pass
yeah those as well and the packs that's a really good one
then Fortnite because of the battle pass
yeah I would say the
the the
battle pass doesn't stand out in my mind as
bad of a trend as like
Battlefront 2 for example
even though that wasn't the example
that set that trend though that wasn't
aspect three more so or FIFA or something no they're the ones that come at the end of the
trend like battlefront two one the straw that broke the camel's back yeah yeah totally
battlefront two was uh taking it's just this such an extreme i i'd say overwatch yeah
overwatch is a good one how because i would say overwatch pushed over that wall that was the oh
it's just cosmetic thing yeah it made okay transactions and packs where that was the first game where
everyone was praising the packs because it was just cosmetic
and then the just cosmetic thing began
and ever since then it's gone
further and further and further with that shit
because that's that's what that they overwatch was
um who did the whole like gambling thing was
yeah yeah that was a pack game wasn't it
yeah real big around that era
and that was always the argument as to why it's okay
it's just aesthetic or whatever
just cosmetic
um and no man sky is a good one actually
I don't know if no man sky really influenced
I think it did
in terms of, at least in the
games industry, in the way they talk about No Man's
Sky, it's now a beat
in, like, headlines and shit, like, is
blank the next No Man Sky?
Is blank going to be the next game that, like, brings
it around? Like, that's shit at first, and they
bring it around. But they don't say that until a game's
already released shit.
And if it's released shit, then it's
already had a bunch of bad press. Like, if anything,
I reckon cyberpunk releasing in the way it did
should be good for the game's industry.
Because their stocks plummeted.
one's making fun of them like depends what their knock on effect is i guess yeah but they've
definitely lost some cred cd um and i don't think people want to so oh yeah if we're talking about
recent history at least like games in good shape yeah i would say recent history is definitely
cyberpunk it's got to be the highest profile fuck up um yeah but i think it was good for the industry
yeah yeah yeah no you're right i would say that that is better than but it was more
for like the
Battlefront 2 way
where it's just like
false advertising
and just saw this shit
bubbling up
yeah yeah
yeah I agree with
Fortnite as well
Destiny has to get thrown out there too
yeah if not just
if not just for the UI alone
that just just the UI
that menu system
with the cursor and the fucking way
it's just that one bit
alone
It's like been copied by some reason now
Every console game has to have like a mouse cursor
It's a controller
Why are you using a mouse?
Yeah Destiny is a good one too
Yeah and every single player
Every Ubisoft game is trying to be
Destiny
Yeah
Yeah
There's some good ones
Yeah
Oh was that
I think that was the final question guys
final question
yeah that was it from vibrating pablo
I just didn't introduce it as the final question
that's absolutely ridiculous
I did introduce the penultimate question there
so we should have known
yeah
thank you for the final question
Pablo
thanks pablo
is danda out yet
danda's not out
donda's not gonna come out
will it be out when this goes live
so it'll be the Monday after that weekend
it was supposed to come out tomorrow
you reckon
yeah
it's what it says
did he see the latest video of him
he's like in this coliseum
fucking just being risen
what have you not seen it
I've seen a lot of Dark Souls memes
because he was wearing this like spiky jacket
and there's this guy that invades you in Dark Souls
the one I saw was like this light show
with it looked like him like in the middle
of this huge arena just like being lifted
up like he's like a yeah
like he's being lifted up by God
oh geez
oh no this album's
not going to be good.
No, it's going to be awesome.
Has Kanye lost it?
Yes.
He's fucking off the hook now.
He's properly off the hook.
Off the...
Is it on the wagon?
Or off the wagon?
He's on something.
The hook.
I just want Life of Pablo too.
Yeah, Dunder.
No, it's not...
It's not gonna be...
It's not gonna be that, Jimmy.
My beautiful dark twisted Dunder.
What?
Can you see him there?
Yeah, I saw it.
Was this, his listening party yesterday?
Yeah.
How's he going up like that?
You're going in?
He's just...
Yeah, this album...
Oh geez.
If it drops
And it's just pure shit
I think that's going to happen
I'm quite excited
What do you think
Is Kanye's new Donda going to be trash
Or is it going to be smash
Let us know in the comments down below
Or mash
Is mash good or bad
I don't like mashed potatoes really
I thought you meant the sitcom
Like controller
Like controller
Oh!
Ah!
