Starting point is 00:00:00 Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to episode 210 of the JARCast. 211. Let me just start again. Good afternoon, morning, evening or night. Ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the JAR Media Posdak episode 211. I'm your host Alex, joined as always by the Martian Melfhunter himself. James
Starting point is 00:00:31 I am here Also known as Pissaday And there's a beast over there Just doing his thing Mm-hmm Slicing James in In the intro Yep
Starting point is 00:00:44 Just abusing me On a regular basis Abusing James Literally You know I'm tired of Even just hearing you Okay then I'm okay of that
Starting point is 00:00:52 Don't hear me then Block me out Before we get too deep into the episode I'd like to shout out the patrons patreon um there are four very special patrons who are on the dibby tier who i figured i'd give a little shout out those being dio 2149 michael g2 mayo mayo and joel steward thank you for your patronage and also thanks for rating us on itunes legends we got some uh
Starting point is 00:01:25 i got some meaty stuff to be talking about today guys first off though Oh no. Last episode, of course, was the first one, the first jar cast we've done in a while in person. Yep. And it's also the first time we did an episode with this new camera. And basically the lighting has just been completely messed up, because we don't know what we're doing. Yeah, it takes time because if we, yeah, you do something that looks all right in person, but then translating that over to, like, on video, it can be a bit weird sometimes.
Starting point is 00:01:58 I'm trying to find a good balance between like hyper white and like a more neutral kind of brownie color Yeah, I know this doesn't matter to those listening This is mostly an audio show But you know, the video aspect has always been a part So we need to, we can't ignore it You've made a few adjustments So let us know if this is an improvement or not
Starting point is 00:02:17 I hope so Can I quickly call back to a phrase James just used Because it's sort of something I want to discuss A phrase? Yeah, he just said it Hyper white Hyper white
Starting point is 00:02:30 Yeah I'd sort of like to delve into James' political views Hyper white because the light is white And it's really intensely white Because it's like the stuff Using like camera shoots
Starting point is 00:02:42 And it's just kind of Last episode Okay White, what No the last episode was really dark Because we just didn't have the light sorted But I don't understand What the lights have to do
Starting point is 00:02:54 With my political opinion or something Okay You all know I'm the communist of JAR So let's then move on Yeah another thing that happened was Last episode we were kind of talking As if there were two cameras And kept like changing angles and stuff
Starting point is 00:03:08 Because we did record two cameras But the B camera was just so messed up And I spent a whole day editing That JARCast With the two cameras and everything And making it all nice Doing all the colour correction But then I couldn't get it to encode
Starting point is 00:03:23 In a way that wasn't completely corrupted So I had to redo it again on Monday as quickly as possible So I couldn't do anything nice with it And that really annoyed me So I thought I'd just say that So my misery can be shared That's why we've actually dropped the camera today
Starting point is 00:03:37 Yeah Unless I can figure out some way to do the two camera thing In a much more convenient quicker way Because it literally having the two cameras Just editing it takes so much longer And for a weekly thing That we just got to you know Kind of do really close to dead
Starting point is 00:03:55 like Mondays. Yeah, I didn't want to delay it, so anyway. Where are we going to start today? I'll tell us, actually, with this from the community. Multiple people wrote in about this. Shoot. Fana's dad says, what do you guys take on Kanye running for president?
Starting point is 00:04:13 I honestly think it's him promoting his new album while simultaneously having a psychotic breakdown and think it's pretty sad that Kim and his family aren't getting him the help he needs. And Dr. Gecko 69 says, similar booby-boo what do you think about Trump running for president and the fact that it will probably allow Trump to win again by taking African-American votes away from Biden do you think this was a planned move from Trump and Kanye or just Kanye's delusions of grandeur kicking in again I guess they probably asked that before this new news that Kanye's kind of disavowed Trump for his own birthday party the birthday party is what his parties know did you know this James That's what he's running under, the birthday party with assistance from Elon Musk and his wife, Kim Kay. The power couple.
Starting point is 00:05:04 I don't know what to say, because all I can say is this would only happen in America. This kind of hyper-celebrities deciding to won in president's racist. Sounds absolutely obscene. What do you think his intent is, though? do you really think he believes he has a chance at winning probably not it's marketing he's very good at it
Starting point is 00:05:28 and they should all be something to you know get attention for a new album or something like that seems to be one of the prevailing theories that it's kind of like a marketing strategy for his new music and stuff there's no way someone like him
Starting point is 00:05:45 who's got like obviously no experience in the political world would ever get to like win the Trump of any experience in the political realm? I guess people were quick to trust him because of his business background. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:02 And while Kanye does have more successful businesses than him by a very long shot, isn't he an anti-vaxxer? That's what we read. Yeah, that would be kind of concerning if the president was an anti-vaxer. It's, has anything been said about where he actually stands and what the whole, you know, policies are and whatnot? I don't know, because it was already a late place to begin, but this late, you know, in the American kind of cycle, election cycle.
Starting point is 00:06:37 I don't understand how the American political system works, and I don't really want to delve in on how it works, because it's, I think it's... I think any of us know, none of us American. I can't say This will get anywhere I don't think he's got no chance of winning You really think that How many people You know in the American voting system
Starting point is 00:07:01 Do you think would be like Kanye West? Yes The youth The youth but that's it Who don't, yeah It's only the youth And even then somebody
Starting point is 00:07:09 If you're going to be like Kanye what the fuck What is this? I don't know man Because It's another case of the two main people running are shit
Starting point is 00:07:19 yeah they got another two kind of garbage options so I've heard a lot of shit about what's happening and there was some leaked plans from the White House about how they're going to stay in power no matter what and like shit that I'm just like I'm taking all
Starting point is 00:07:36 with salt I've got to take all everything that's related to America of salt because it's just obscene I think we just got to wait and see what happens Wilcan I think this is just marketing give it enough time and it will just be like oh here's a new album boom that's it not going for president there's no realistic way he can unless he does if he is elected president in the next year i'll put my hands up and say i'm just getting flashbacks to the last time
Starting point is 00:08:04 there was a american election and everyone was saying exactly what you're saying but that's that's yeah that was trump and clinton this is Kanye west it is different when someone is isn't when they they have like a third party when it's not one of the two that people will just vote for yeah also apparently he had coronavirus in febru yeah bit like me i think i got it later though do you want to one for the prime institute of england absolutely not yeah i don't know what i can have with american politics it's not my place to talk about. Just, you know, politics
Starting point is 00:08:47 full stop. Yeah. Well, I mean, out of those three, I probably would vote for Kanye. Yes, I would also vote for Kanye. Really? The anti-vactor thing is kind of like Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Alarming. But again, I, like, we just read it on some random article. It's, it's hard to yeah, to know where he stands. Like I said, until his policies.
Starting point is 00:09:08 If that were to be... I just want to see him in like a debate. How does Kanye work in a debate? Because normally when he's, he's interviewed, he's given such free reign to just spout his nonsensical kind of mind. Yeah, well, that's another thing. Like, he's pretty unhinged, and I don't know if that's the right kind of person you want. What?
Starting point is 00:09:31 What, does anyone genuinely think is a good idea? But, I mean, who out of those three are a good idea? Biden's the most sensible. I would say, yeah. If I was living in the country, I would probably vote for Joe Biden, just out of the same reason. It's weird how Kanye has sort of covered all the bases over his career. Because he had the super liberal thing of like George Bush doesn't care about black people. He said that.
Starting point is 00:10:06 But then he went all weird, like, MAGA. Yeah, weird Trump stuff covering the right wing. And now he's just released this whole like Christian. album I was wondering how this if Jesus' King turns out to be this weird I remember saying to you what if he's doing this
Starting point is 00:10:24 because he's planning on running for president in 2020 and he's just doing it to try and manipulate people yeah because the president always needs to be like hyper religious I mean not not to the extent that he is on Jesus' king at least like a good Christian boy type thing yeah woman I him getting kind of very close to Trump
Starting point is 00:10:47 and going to White House often that shows that he's like trying to to get experience in a way like trying to just get a little foot in the door almost I feel like trying to analyse any of his behaviour is almost pointless yeah that's another thing like I don't know if he genuinely thinks
Starting point is 00:11:02 he's going to be president I have heard I'm not this couldn't be bullshit I'm going to say this can't be bullshit I cannot confirm this but I've heard that he only did all that stuff to get people have been wrongly incarcerated
Starting point is 00:11:18 out of prison. That's all he did it for. That's what I've heard. Did what for? Do the whole MAGA thing with Trump. Yeah, buddying up with Trump. Yeah, just to... Because there was all that stuff where Kim Kardashian was like meeting with Trump to get people out of prison. That didn't deserve to be there.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Yeah, and they did like 30 plus people. Fucking incredible work they did, like honestly. Really? So I think that... What were they in jail for? Like wrong things. Like wrongly wrongly put in jail. Like completely not supposed to be there. Oh, wow. Like, I, that's what I've heard. I can't say for certain, but I think that's why they were buddy buddy with Trump. Well, that, that was like a rumor. After, after Kanye was seen at
Starting point is 00:11:56 the BLM protests, this is what, like, Kanye fans were, like, justifying why he had his MAGA phase. Which, and if that's the genuine reason, then fuck yeah, that's fucking great. I doubt it is, though. It was a publicity stunt. Yes. everything he does is a publicity stunt and this is probably too but that doesn't mean he's not going to go all in and try and actually do it because that's a carnia thing to do it
Starting point is 00:12:24 that is publicity and it's the next logical step in terms of the ego trip yeah even if he is like one of the majority like voted for loads he can rap about that yeah and people listen to it like yeah I'm genuinely surprised
Starting point is 00:12:43 more celebrities aren't running. I really thought there was a good chance. Trump was like the first, like globally. Like once Trump got in, there was like other countries where these celebrities were suddenly in power. It's like a phase, it's like a crazier now where, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:59 these hyper-celebrities, but of a backing away, you're like, oh, I can do this. Well, remember it was like a big deal when Arnie became, what was he? California, mayor of California. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Which to us seems like quite a small kind of figure like it's not the same as being the president no no but it's really weird considering he's Austrian it is quite yeah it was always like wow but and I got to say of anybody like the Kardashians and the Wests they have an obscene like just they have this such an incredible understanding
Starting point is 00:13:34 of marketing and just how to get themselves out there it's like bruh that's fucking wild it's absolutely crazy so you know this could just marketing he's got something up the line he's got something up the line I got something up the line oh what have you got up the line you don't want to know
Starting point is 00:13:54 no I want to know Alex I thought that was going to be a smooth transition yeah because I'm not sure what you guys want to talk about beyond Kanye I have a couple of things but it depends how much you want to jump around Kanye's kind of sick
Starting point is 00:14:13 No, there's one thing I'm going to add I have been listening to watch the phone recently and it is generally a better, a really bloody good album What is co-lab album with Jay-Z? Just listening to, like, at first there was one incredible song where it was just like, I want to listen to this constantly and there's this one Oh, and this one. Oh, and this one
Starting point is 00:14:34 And when it's like an 11 song album or something When four songs are 10 out of 10s already You're breaching on really good album already Like territory I didn't like the Beyonce one I really know that one works it's not the same flow some of the others but it really works
Starting point is 00:14:49 I don't like her voice I do though and that's why in one of the corncasts I think we when we did our Kanye ranking Watch the phone We briefly mentioned Watch the Throne Ruben and I aren't crazy about what I think it's grown on Ruben since
Starting point is 00:15:04 because we both listen to it at the same time Ruben she said yesterday that it's quite mediocre but when it's got four 10 out 10 songs it's like way better and mediocre, by far. I'd say it's possibly better than some other Kanye albums and Jay-Z albums.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Yeah, I don't really get it, but I'll have to listen to it again, I guess. You just got, it depends what moves you're in for it. You just got to pick the right songs because some of them are like straight-up crap. Yes, some of them are. The one with Frank Ocean is really good as well. Don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:36 No church in the wild, I think. I think I hate that one. That's a great song. song that's so good but that's just I just want to add that because you've talked about Kanye we're just talking about Connie but okay well I threw out
Starting point is 00:15:51 onto Jar Twitter for any topics we want to talk about for this first half and Lord Bung actually replied with something I don't know how much how much of assistance we can really add to his query but he asked
Starting point is 00:16:09 motivational tips I'm begging I think it's the thing a lot of people have been struggling with during these times It's just finding any reason to even bother You know Like everything seems so bleak The economy seems so bleak
Starting point is 00:16:25 Like socially everything seems so bleak There's a lack of hope In a lot of ways which Obviously is going to affect your productivity Um There's nothing specific to the quarantine life that I can give you know I've obviously been struggling of motivation because it's just working in in home every day it's just it really
Starting point is 00:16:51 gets draining but all of the ways I've I've become motivated I've said already you know just you talked about it a bit last episode kind of yeah just be to be more active just trying to eat better it's just kind of put yourself in a better place you know there's days when I'll wake up and my mind's just not there like I'm not unmotivated I'm, like, bordering on being, like, sad for no reason. It's just, like, the mood, something, whatever. And you just got, like, you've got to put on that song, you've just got to fucking kind of, kind of push yourself through it.
Starting point is 00:17:23 I know that's not helpful, but. I think, I'd say, do the opposite. If you're looking for, like, creative... Well, yeah, Lord Bang is obviously, does a lot of art, animation, storyboarding. I'd say bore yourself. in what sense just
Starting point is 00:17:40 as little entertainment as possible have like a boring ass day to try and reset I remember hearing about it on some podcast or something but your brain inherently becomes more creative
Starting point is 00:17:56 but it's starved yeah when it's it doesn't have stuff when it doesn't have stimulation constantly yeah being thrown at you like watching TV or playing a video game just like don't do it for a day um i mean i can't speak for myself because i'm i'm not exactly
Starting point is 00:18:13 creative yeah never mind like i don't create other than the podcast i i i await my mind always tends to be creative when i'm trying to sleep yeah well it's that exact thing because you're essentially you are bald no you just weren't talking to the mic oh yeah um for me i think a big part of it is the like discipline when I'm not disciplined it's like all over the place in terms of productivity they can help though if you have like
Starting point is 00:18:46 just a list of things you're like I'm not going to go sleep today until this list of things is done like I don't care what happens these things even if it's small things as long as they get done then I can end the day feeling like I've been productive I've done something yeah especially if you're like I know
Starting point is 00:19:04 Bung works on these big projects which you just have to like chip away at really boringly slowly that's like the only real advice I can give on something like that you just got to be like disciplined in some way and clear your head to
Starting point is 00:19:19 get some exercise and yeah take breaks and that kind of shite yeah otherwise um at Michael Pena fan sorry no Michael Pena Is it
Starting point is 00:19:35 Yeah, it is Michael Peña, I don't know why I was calling him Micah Micah Yeah Maybe the Red Dead's bleeding in But I wonder why
Starting point is 00:19:45 I wonder why He asked With Alex mentioning He's gone back to Destiny 2 Would like to hear Some of the specific improvements And stuff We've drawn him back in with
Starting point is 00:19:55 Um You guys obviously don't give two shits About Destiny Um No we did see some of the gameplay last week and it does look much improved
Starting point is 00:20:07 looks like they've added actual content and like reasons to play again the reason it's working for me now at this point
Starting point is 00:20:13 is because like I just left it alone for so long I would just like play the expansion enough for like a video then stop but they did this video
Starting point is 00:20:23 where they were like showing off the future of it and it made because that was part of it too for me so what's the point to playing this
Starting point is 00:20:29 if I just no idea where this is really going are they even going to continue it they're going to keep supporting it. Establishing like a timeline of sort of where it's going helps a lot. And also another thing that's a big deal for me is when I'm supporting them now,
Starting point is 00:20:44 it's not like an Activision thing anymore. Yeah. That bugs me. Yeah, and I've just kind of got into a rhythm of like what the game wants for me because there's so many like things to collect now. So I kind of have a purpose in what I want to do. So that's kind of what I've been messing with most. haven't changed too much like yeah because i played some yeah i want to say that if if destiny never
Starting point is 00:21:10 really worked for you then whatever they've changed won't change your mind because like after playing it here i played for 20 minutes like had a fine time you did do like the most boring thing you can possibly do in the game i guess which is just go to a place and just like walk around without any like purpose where the the good thing about it is just the ridiculous like levels upon levels of reward systems it has now it's so much better than when like destiny two first came out where it was like you barely ever got loot it was super stingy yeah yeah now they're constantly raining you as shit all the time there was something i said while we were playing the um i don't think there's enough
Starting point is 00:22:01 like the types of gameplay in that game the pillars of like game yeah there is one it's better man they're like but I never remember playing Destiny and having moments
Starting point is 00:22:17 where I was like kind of excited during the gameplay in ways that were like positive and not just like a oh this is bullshit hard or whatever yeah what's like an example like just building setting up a building such a way where you can kind of just like jump around the enemies and just survive and you've
Starting point is 00:22:36 just got your all your powers kind of it's like in boardlands three you know when you've got like just the right thing going on and you're using your abilities and all that kind of nerdy shit yeah and with like the music and the presentation everything it can there are moments where it like really comes together for me and especially like the scale of it there's no other like science fiction game i've played recently that has these like in the strike playlist they have these like huge kind of set pieces with like massive things like flying around and you've got to dodge them out the way
Starting point is 00:23:10 and it's all that kind of stuff so I've been enjoying that for now just kind of going through and having a game to piss around on like you guys have with cod or whatever yeah it's annoying it's annoying to me like what destiny is because it burnt me once and then burnt me again
Starting point is 00:23:31 and you just get like flashbacks when I when I play the game it just reminds me of the amount of just doing the same shit over and over and nothing ever really felt deep enough
Starting point is 00:23:49 like the idea definitely has a lot of work to do but like the idea of builds I think that's what the game should have been in the first place and the fact that it's done it now to me is way too late or way too late Yeah but it's also like
Starting point is 00:24:04 It's fine for me When series are like shit for a while And then like there's a point where it's like This is kind of good now That's just like been the story of how many games As of late where like they launch their shit And then they gradually get good Rainbow 6 Destiny
Starting point is 00:24:22 Yeah Cod Yeah a bunch of games Battlefront 2 Forzers But again like all of those games you mentioned do you I didn't get on board with
Starting point is 00:24:37 rainbow six until it was good yeah but the other ones like battlefront well that's how I have to try and think about it though if like if someone is jumping into destiny too and they've never played it before yeah yeah you could like spend a crazy amount of time and have a lot even just the free to play stuff I like that seems like a lot but the fact that I was an early adopter and basically was punished for that I had to pay more money to get less it's game with you man well I mean there's just other shit because it's like imagine if um you started playing red dead online or gtia online
Starting point is 00:25:16 when it first came out yeah yeah yeah it's so much you're sick of it and now it's shit to you because you've just you've experienced like the core tenant of what it is to the point that's the thing with gta though that it has over red dead and destiny and everything is that there are so many different games within that game. So it was actually quite hard to get bored of it. But I did eventually. Because they, the original ECHL9... Yeah, but how much did you play it?
Starting point is 00:25:45 Because you played it a lot. If I didn't play it with people, I would have played it a month, maybe. I barely touched GT Online. Yeah, yeah. Because I just thought it was kind of messy and annoying. They've added so much content, I have no desire to go back into it because I did it earlier. But I played Red Dead Online for a fair amount. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:03 And it's having the problem that Old Destiny did where it's like, what's the future of this? Like, what you do? It doesn't seem to be doing anything at all. Yeah, you've got no timeline for like by this point. But I mean, it felt like Destiny 2 did that to a point. Yeah, because it all changed when they left Activision, but that doesn't really excuse it. But you find this, the like, the story behind it, like really fascinating at this point. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:27 I find that way more interesting to look into. But it also makes the product kind of less hateable to me because it's just such a complex situation that when you fully understand it in the way that we do, there is something, especially now they've left the grasps of Activision, there is just something more. They've got out of like the storm and they're steering the ship in a really good direction.
Starting point is 00:26:50 My thing is that there are so many other good games that are just good games by themselves already. At release, old, new, whatever. I can just play those and not have to worry about needing this future. But it's like, where can I get like a world like that with the art direction and the music? Yeah, I know. That's what pisses me off so much about it. Because the gameplay does feel solid as fuck.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Yep. The appearance is incredible. No, don't deny that. Even the biggest haters can't deny that. No, because there's some... The art direction isn't like genuinely next level. it's actually like it blows my mind at points there's something about that game that just
Starting point is 00:27:35 I can't put my word like words to it there's something about it makes me just really want them to have like a four hour like slick single player or something exactly that's what I mean like I could play something that requires way less time but it feels complete and then you might even put in the same amount of money
Starting point is 00:27:54 but every hour feels worth it instead of the just the grey mush that I played of destiny one and two yeah it's definitely not I wouldn't recommend for everyone to no definitely not to play it because it's super like nerdy and about chasing numbers
Starting point is 00:28:11 and shit like that yeah and because to me as well it's not like casual enough you can be pretty casually I don't know I mean and that's what I'm playing I've got cod which is as casual as it gets
Starting point is 00:28:28 you just jump on that's it you don't have to chase things you don't have to go for numbers you don't have to get guns yeah and still these these bars are just like filling and it's satisfying no matter what you do they're completely different yeah for sure but i mean it's giving you that same like reward structure but that's what destiny does now though as well like just anything you do it's just building on building on building on all this shit it's like the same thing yeah yeah that's what i'm saying but i think cod is more accessible because it's not like oh yeah it's it's far as accessibility there's nothing you have to like learn in the same way yeah you know like
Starting point is 00:29:04 in fact if i was jumping on destiny now for the first time i'd probably like pretty overwhelmed by yeah yeah and that that's actually something again that turns me off of it but they do help you by like just having quests that they just take you through like yeah but it it just baffles me how like how fucked the development of the first two games were up until this point
Starting point is 00:29:34 they just didn't have the time it makes me wish they just were given the time to release it when they wanted to yeah because they just missed out and so much of this stuff that should have been in the game in the first place yeah and that's what burns me the fact that it's destiny too
Starting point is 00:29:47 do you know what burns me the most about destiny what the guy who wrote most of Halo his like his treatment and his story that he'd written for the original destiny that was just completely scrapped and put all in the grimwa and all this yeah so I bet it would have had that real like bungee feel as well could have been so cool yeah like the perfect like story that's easily accessible but then so much more yeah because it has the it has the depth if you're willing to get dorky and nerdy with it but I just don't care about that shit like all the law
Starting point is 00:30:22 stuff like I can't I'm just in for like the gameplay loops so anything else we've been entertaining ourselves with I've just been fucking working off thing reasons why every single time you answer the question I just don't get how you can't get fucking bored of it
Starting point is 00:30:38 because like you said with destiny you're constantly filling bars I've put I've played the game 16 hours physically shooting people six not 16 days that's close to 500 hours I can only play destiny though when I'm like multitasking like watching Netflix like watching
Starting point is 00:30:54 No I never play Cod when I'm by myself I mean like I don't either but it's just you're filling bars you're constantly sometimes but it's the same thing you're just filling bars
Starting point is 00:31:06 and I want to say do you think Cod's a live service like a subscription Yeah it is Yeah with how often they're updating it at this point I honestly think it's the best one because People don't think it is but it is
Starting point is 00:31:19 Because every year you're buying it In terms of what though being a live subscription really because it's because a live subscription like you're buying this game they're going to do updates cold it's a life subscription because every year you're buying the same fucking game you're getting the same experience constantly so it's just the most overpriced
Starting point is 00:31:34 subscription of the war yeah but it's the best because people don't get bored of it because you're not waiting for updates because each game's being updated as they go along and you're getting a new game it's definitely to me the most consistent live service I've partaken in right like every time even though they might not stick to the road map they release each month.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Those, they're punctual. Like, when they, every month. You bloody hope so. If God couldn't do it. Yeah, exactly. They're punctual, but it's just like, within their stuff, they're constantly rotating the multiplayer. So it's just like, it's fresh every other week.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Because maps are dropping in and out, so you're getting fresh maps, you're playing old maps again, you haven't played. It's just, it's not, it's, it's Activision, and they've done it perfectly. caught perfectly okay I can't sing the praises
Starting point is 00:32:25 of that game I can't comment obviously because I just don't give a shit about Cod did we talk about what we'd been entertaining ourselves with last week Cod
Starting point is 00:32:33 no because we had other things yeah I didn't think so no I don't like having to do it every week I just like doing it when it makes sense but I just don't want to repeat myself because I want to mention that I played a fair bit of dishonoured which is something
Starting point is 00:32:46 I spoke I think I spoke about this early early on and it was just like None of you liked it. Nobody. Yeah, I remember really, I mean, I played the game when I was like 15. And, yeah, I think I bought it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you did.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Yeah, I definitely tried playing dishonoured. I'm pretty sure we got it from like Pink Planet or something. It's, that game, it's got a weird art style, weird in a good way. It's really unique. Well, no, on Xbox, it looked crap on 360. It looked like shit. Yeah, it does. But when it's actually...
Starting point is 00:33:19 It was too ahead of its time, I guess. Yeah. Because I've been playing it recently, and it's like, this could totally be released today. It's actually... It's aged. No, because, yeah, I just bought Sekaro in the Steam sale and comparing it to how it looks on, like, my Xbox and my living room. It's night and day.
Starting point is 00:33:36 It's actually ridiculous. But, Dishonored, it's like, people look at it and be like, gross, but it's got the most insane gameplay. It's so... Yeah, if you want to see a good speed run for a video game, go and watch Disholod's speed runs. No, just watch some of the creative kill montage. people go fucking wild of doing the most fucking insane
Starting point is 00:33:52 like jumping through buildings then fucking out the other side and wild the sandbox is awesome yeah the creativity it's like there's a YouTube channel called I think stealth game something
Starting point is 00:34:03 but he just plays those games just watch some of his videos on it's wild yes it's like the closest thing to hit man yeah like a first person oh really yeah that's sort of just the idea like freedom in an environment to take it
Starting point is 00:34:18 yeah like you have to kill this guy do it go on but it's just like that game it's better for that but yeah
Starting point is 00:34:26 yeah that actually has a more of a linear story like it's a this is your yeah you've got to do this
Starting point is 00:34:30 but that game it has I really like the kind of the world of that game it's really kind of interesting
Starting point is 00:34:35 like the steampunky kind of futuristic stuff yeah the art style is really nice but they're like
Starting point is 00:34:40 whale oil or some weird shit like that is like the play currency and all that yeah the only
Starting point is 00:34:45 the only complaint I really have is the story seems pretty basic yeah it's like servicing yeah
Starting point is 00:34:54 but it is I've heard good things about the second one the second one I played the second one quite a bit because there's a lot more it's sold very well but yeah people it just be good it's a shame I'd say that that franchise is really underrated
Starting point is 00:35:07 because they're bloody good yeah and I kind of gave up on the second one because this is the same of any single player game a multiplayer game came out and I got to take it but it's there's a lot of well we playability of the second one
Starting point is 00:35:21 because you've got choice of two characters you have wildly different like options and like trees so you can like play around a lot more but yeah actually a great game if you do if you can find it cheap actually just pick it up yeah have a look on Steam or something
Starting point is 00:35:33 yeah I got it I got the because they released like a pack or something a third sort of game like expansion yeah it was like a prequel a different character a prequel to the second one like explaining a different type of story
Starting point is 00:35:48 yeah I got all three for like Like, it's just mad cheap. Yeah. Oh really? Yeah. It's another of one of those Bethesda games
Starting point is 00:35:56 which completely, you know, makes the studio shine like Bethesda. But the other thing I've been doing is just watching anime. What anime? Gundam? Yep, still going down. Any new thoughts or?
Starting point is 00:36:09 No, I'm watching one of the Knops' main ones. So it's a bit like, I can't get too invested because there's no sequel or anything. So it's just like this own thing. I'm just like, it's robots, but then I'm going to appreciate the central ones more because they got better designs
Starting point is 00:36:22 than better. So have good animation? This one doesn't. But the one I watched prior had beautiful like 80s but modern day animation. So it just looked great. Lots of frames or lots of like screenshots. No, actual frames. But it also had a soundtrack done by the guy
Starting point is 00:36:38 who did Attack on Titan. But before Attack on Titan so it's got this really good soundtrack, like a bloody amazing soundtrack to this eight episode like series. Oh, it's only eight episodes. This one, but it's an hour. hour each episode. No, that's a good thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:52 It's when I see the like... 30, 25 episodes. 50, 50 episodes at like 20 minutes. But there's actually a bad thing because I've got back into anime because of Amazon. Not Amazon Netflix. Because there's a lot of anime on Netflix.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Yeah, they're putting more and more on there. It's easy because you'll just like, you'll finish it and you'll just be, go to the next, but then you can skip intro so you'll wipe back into it. Yeah. And then I've been using Crunchy Well. Damn.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Fuck me. Watch a bit of One Piece. it's the worst streaming service by a considerable mile it's like eight pound a month which is quite expensive but the app the app on the website are two completely different things so if you watch something on the app
Starting point is 00:37:32 the progress isn't saved on the desktop version you go on the desktop version it just it shows blog posts so you can't actually get a list of what they fucking have to watch it's the fucking shittest thing I fucking hate it with that being said we'd like to go into our sponsor
Starting point is 00:37:47 we've got Crunchyroll sponsoring us this episode yeah you just throw us under the bus there bro no but they're fucking shit like they'll post
Starting point is 00:37:55 screenshots on their Twitter account to be funny and it will always be a different streaming service fucking thing in the top corner like they're fucking awful don't subscribe to Crunchy World
Starting point is 00:38:04 just don't do it shit damn but I'm only doing it because of this one anime's on it so I'm just like yeah sure you have to
Starting point is 00:38:12 I got the free trial and then I just finish it and cancel so whatever fuck them shit okay on that note then Um, we'll back up to these messages with some questions from the community that won't be video game focus for those who don't give two shits about that stuff. Yeah, they'll be about, you know...
Starting point is 00:38:31 Which Madagascar. Life can be a dick sometimes. So get your dick from out your hand. And don't be a dick, wear a dick. Dick the head t-shirts available now. Check the description below. I have to shit. Come on, let's do the second half.
Starting point is 00:38:48 I'm just going to edit all that out. No, don't. That's a good fucking God. Fuck you. Fuck you. Do you really want to hear about your ass cutting itself? No, okay. Start it from when you just said, do people really want to hear about your ass cutting itself?
Starting point is 00:39:05 And then they can decide whether they want to hear about James' ass cutting itself. Okay. Okay. So welcome to the second half of the cast. We answer questions from the JARCast community. head over to the subreddit there's a suggestion thread ask us whatever you like anything
Starting point is 00:39:22 anything you might have a shot at not being answered SpongeBob Ahoy is going to start us off this time Hi boys I have a game for you The game will only require James and Alex The game is to play rock paper
Starting point is 00:39:38 scissors but with a twist If James wins Alex must upload a new video to I build everything by the end of the week if Alex wins James must build and finish the tank by the end of the month he should build it live during the podcast
Starting point is 00:39:54 as proof of his work good luck goobers I can't do that no we have to I know I can't do that because I don't have a location to build a tank right here is it best a space on the table what best of three
Starting point is 00:40:07 or just one no no but here's the thing with doing that type of stuff you want to have a desk specifically for it Because if you're having to get out paints and parts constantly, it's just not ideal when you've got... He's wheezzling out. No, no, listen, I actually know what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:40:23 No, but there's a 50, well, not 50, 50, but there's a chance that you might not have to do. No, but I wouldn't be able to pull through. Because if I had my own desk, I can just have that always there that I can constantly chip away at. It'll get done. No, you wouldn't do it anyway because of call as you two. No, I would because I'm actually... No, you wouldn't, because you would have done it by now. That's because I don't have a desk and I can't...
Starting point is 00:40:44 No, that's the point of this question, and that's why we're... we're going to do this right now. No, no, because you've got this and I don't have a space to do it. I have one desk. Right here, it says you have to do it on the next cast anyway. So that's just what we do. Yeah, but this has to be empty for literal weeks. Okay. You have until the end of the month. Yeah. That's how you know. Because it's hard, it's almost halfway through the month anyway. We got the next two days off as well. Ready? And the whole week. Okay. If you clear this, I will build the tank on this desk. Ready?
Starting point is 00:41:10 Let's do the You have to clean this desk. You need to do the challenge first because you might not even need to build it. Put your arm up.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Ready? Yep. Rock, paper, scissors. You want? Yeah. It's best of three. Is it best of three? I asked that
Starting point is 00:41:30 and nobody confirmed. You don't do rock paper scissors in one game. You do best to three. Okay. Rock, paper, scissors. Oh. Here you go, best the three.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Alex says to... So all of that. All of that was fucking pointless. That's exactly why he's supposed to do it first. So now the onus is on me to upload a video on I build everything. Which, to be fair, is way easier. Yeah. Why don't you make a fucking I build everything video then, huh, bitch?
Starting point is 00:41:56 Because I'd fucking... No, that tank is actually, like, apparently a quite hard tank to build as a beginner. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mim, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. quit your yapping oh shut up okay nat figure asks this
Starting point is 00:42:15 if you could pick any live animal to use to wipe your own ass with what would you choose and why argue why loads of fluff and he's kind of chunky so you can boil him well
Starting point is 00:42:27 so you've got a lot of wiping material and he's long throw him in a river to reset him is it only one of that animal or do you have like it just says if you can pick any live animal right um because i'm thinking flying flying squirrel why because they're like the most like toilet paper
Starting point is 00:42:44 like the flattest thing that's also like fluffy and gonna feel nice so you've got really really horrible answers like hedgehog no i'm thinking of even more horrible go on i'm thinking about not crocodiles snakes
Starting point is 00:43:02 now i'm thinking about what's an animal that loves eating shit to the point where you don't actually need to wipe and it will just kind of clean your asshole for it. Yeah, that's probably the most logical Aggie. Paisley? I don't know, James, we're going to have to put it to the test.
Starting point is 00:43:21 I guess that's the intro sorted. Just, yeah. Some Shane Dawson, beastiality action for the cast. You can't shit. Maybe argue you'll suck it out of you. Yeah, you could like, what do cows like eating? Grass.
Starting point is 00:43:36 yeah put some grass around your cut butt hole and then just like your cat hole your cut hole and just let it go to town no or there's an option of like uh hedgehog no gerbil you already said hedgehog no because they're tiny so you won't get much a wipe out of them that's why because you can reset it it would be like a sponge you just have the sink with some warmly water and you just dunk it no that's the that's the shit's up like you're a greek with the sponge on stick put a hamster on it and just put it between your eyes no no i use a because he kind of likes you can easily maneuver him like you wouldn't want to no he's a bad answer unless he's licking your buckling
Starting point is 00:44:12 like imagine max big old max wiping your bum and pen would impossible no and like dogs are quite a good answer because they eat human shit quite happily yeah but you want to use them to wipe not you don't want them to wipe your you well that is using them I'd say no it's different we've all given good answers I'd say so no obviously quokadars are the only answer well yeah we forgot to mention that. And on the subject of crocodiles, last week something incredible happened. Something
Starting point is 00:44:42 actual mind bending happened. How do we forget about this in the first? I know. It's one of the most iconic things I've ever seen. It blew me away in my very... Can I establish what we're talking about? Because I found him. And I'm very proud of what I've discovered.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Do you mind? Yeah, no, take it away. Take it away. So as a YouTube connoisseur, I like the good side of YouTube. You know, The Jangbrook side, the Lego side, the Halo side. But I've found a new side that I like. And that's the Dingo-Dinkleman side of YouTube. Is his name really Dinkleman?
Starting point is 00:45:20 James and I did some research earlier to make sure it was. His name is Dingo Dinklman. Dingo Dinkleman is a YouTuber. We can't figure out what his actual origin is because he sounds like he has an Australian accent, but he's constantly talking about. South Africa and he has a little bit of a South African
Starting point is 00:45:39 twine as well South African accents have always sounded similar to Australian There's definitely a similarity to it but we can't quite pin down what he is
Starting point is 00:45:47 but his whole thing is that he's like a snake conservationist type character and he like goes around like reptiles of all he kind of yeah he especially loves snakes
Starting point is 00:45:59 though he's one of those like in your own places like South African Australian and whatnot when there's a snake in your home he's like the type person
Starting point is 00:46:05 who did that He'd take the snake out. Yeah, he's a bit like Steve Irwin, where he's like, just got no fear, goes around his shorts everywhere, is a dad. Loves animals. Absolutely loves him. And some of the fucking videos that he had are actually just like, holy fuck. Like, there was this one video where I don't know, he was saying that he was just like completely harmless snake and he just fucking died like six times. It was just constantly just dying on it.
Starting point is 00:46:34 story he was like out in the in the bush in the middle of nowhere like a south america or something um like four hours away from like a road or you know didn't he get he got bitten on the face didn't he no no no not that one um it was like this this uh water like snake and it had no venom or anything it was harmless but it kind of bit onto him he had an allergic reaction he had an anthra something shock and was just like just he just fucking was gone it was like like dying So in this beautiful video, which he's kind of recounting the story while lying on his lawn with this massive snake in front of this. It's a fucking like African wattle snake. Just like the fucking most like crazy dangerous thing.
Starting point is 00:47:18 He's just like next to it. It's like hissing in his face. He's just like, he's terrified of it. He's recalling this story where he goes through recounting how many times he nearly died on that day. And his thought process. Yeah. And it just, it keeps escalating and escalating. It's an incredible trip of a video.
Starting point is 00:47:38 It's a wonderful video. It's a wonderful channel. Because like, as much as I enjoy, you know, brave wilderness, you know, 17 million subscriber, super high production, a whole camera crew with the, you know, all the most, the, the slickest, glossier stuff you can possibly get on YouTube. This guy, he's a YouTuber, you know. He's just a war. He's a very warm. It's like, you know, all film, like, some of it's on a phone.
Starting point is 00:48:02 some of it's on like a better camera it's all like you can tell they're all like doing it feels real it's like he did a video on crocodiles as well and we talked about crocodiles well but like holy fuck this they're horrifying
Starting point is 00:48:14 he did a it was a reaction video well yeah that that's what was so great about this reaction video dingo made because it was like the most wonderful reaction video because his commentary was so insightful
Starting point is 00:48:28 yeah it's his area of expertise and he actually showed him doing the exact thing in the videos, like, actually him doing it. This is like, this is why you don't fucking do this. He was like, actually, yeah, hang on. Let me just go grab a baby. It demonstrates on the baby crocodile to show kind of how they behave and stuff. Like, he's, he's a, like, just a video of him like dealing with the black mamba.
Starting point is 00:48:53 And it's just like, in a house. And it's just like, it's like the most deadliest snake ever. And he's just like, he's just in a photonal's house. It's like, yeah, look at this. I'm sweating bullets. Yeah. It's a generally fascinating video, especially when you're a bit, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:49:06 um, drunk, it's even better, but it's just incredible. Like, the fucking bulls of doing that. Holy shit. There's just something so entertaining about these fearless people who like,
Starting point is 00:49:17 well, the entertaining part is that he isn't fearless. Yeah. He's like, he's cautious, yeah. He's got, it's the,
Starting point is 00:49:26 it's like the human adrenaline reaction. Yeah, yeah. He's not even moving, like, consciously. It's just, just like he's reacting to how a snake is moving.
Starting point is 00:49:35 But the nice thing, it's nice seeing someone who's so passionate. Like, he absolutely loves his fucking job. He loves it and you can really tell. It is that Steve Owen kind of energy. It's just nice to see. Like on YouTube and someone who's making content and he's actually really passionate about it. It's really fresh.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Yeah, and he's not really a small channel, but he's not huge either. He's got two, 300,000 subs or so. Yeah. So that's crazy. For giant snakes and stuff like that. is interesting to you it's one of the best things about YouTube is the just the stuff you can capture with animals yeah actually on the on the subject in the quokadovijo saying about if you
Starting point is 00:50:12 if you touch like slightly touch any of their jaw they fucking boom I tried on guys because he had his mouth open and it's just like I was trying I was doing the exact same thing like just put in my hand and it's just like the moment you touch it's the same thing it just I think it's just an animal thing where it's just like as soon as they touch them Gaius is actually a crocodile. Yeah. But obviously, I wasn't being aggressive, my dog. He was just happy and excited, so I was just like testing it in playful way.
Starting point is 00:50:41 Yeah. Don't stick your hand in a crocodile's mouth or head or anything. Or a gaiters. Or, no, which, is it alligators that worst? Wait, if his name is Dingo Dinklman, surely he's Australian. Dengai. Well, that's another, that's another confusing thing. Because why would he be based inside?
Starting point is 00:51:00 South Africa. You could just live there. Maybe his wife is from there, I don't know. Maybe you can run a conservation there for cheaper. I think Dingleman is a South African name. Yes. But Dingo sounds so Australian to me. Well, yeah, Dingo is Australian.
Starting point is 00:51:16 But he says Australian things, but kind of South African. It's really strange. But I, like, Googled his name and stuff, and I couldn't find any specific details on where he was born. Dingo, let us know. Yeah, Dengai. Should we interview him on the course? I'd love to He's a legend and you should go watch his
Starting point is 00:51:34 Dingo on the cast Yeah He's great Shout out of Dingo Anyway these These Reddit names They actually blow my mind sometimes This next one
Starting point is 00:51:44 A good way or a bad way You're about to find out This one is from RXFD Oku That's their Reddit name How do they even know that I think we mentioned it before How the fuck do they know that
Starting point is 00:51:57 Nobody knows the meaning How do I know that? It's a just James thing, the RX FDoku, but what is it referencing? And why do I know it? One of... Is it a car thing? Is it a Japanese thing? No, that was my game attack on Xbox.
Starting point is 00:52:11 That's what I moved away from... That was the... That's what I moved away from Legend Day Amber Stronging to that. That's right. So that's your old gamer tag. That is one of my gamer tags. That's funny. But their question was, can you please explain the Duck Pillow gaming law? No.
Starting point is 00:52:27 No. We can't. Why not? We literally can't. Because duck pillow gaming is dead. No, but... The only reason we wouldn't describe it before is because the possibility of perhaps... Of making duck...
Starting point is 00:52:42 ...doing it. Yeah, but the fact that we can't makes me want to just let it die. No, but the story needs to be told though. It doesn't... So then it can just be done. Otherwise it's just gonna be this thread that was never explored. I... Oh fuck.
Starting point is 00:52:59 No, because this, this, this. Max loved duck pillow gaming. Yeah, he's the one that killed him. He's the number one fan. Right? I don't know. That duck thing is around here somewhere. No, the duck pillow is dead.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Is it? It's not, yeah, the duck was ripped off the pillow. No, but I have the head somewhere. Yeah, but he's not duck pillow gaming anymore. Oh, because it's not a pillow. He's just being duck gaming. Duck gaming. And this is why we need to explain, no, we have to explain the story now.
Starting point is 00:53:25 We can't. No. Jim had this, like, really awesome pillow, right? It's like kind of a small. pillow you know that's no what that's not the legacy of dark pillow gaming yes it is it is it genuinely is you know my my uncle got me for like my one of my birthdays a joke gift of a duck i'm confusing this of another story related to um matt no no no i'm there's something there's something there no no i oh oh i i know i i know what you're thinking
Starting point is 00:53:59 yes no but duck pillow gaming my uncle as a joke gif got me this this pillow with like a duck on it a duck's like head kind of protruding out of the pillow like a soft toy duck head kind of sewn onto a pillow yeah um and for some it it just came to be in your possession i guess everything weird because we wanted it to be the next thing and i don't know about you but duck pillow gaming to me was always really inspired by the lonely gumba to me it was really inspired by that weird gaming channel with that does the duck voice you know the duck voice oh really yeah no no because we'd always do this voice basically for duck pillow gaming yeah really yeah like a YouTuber voice of someone who's like so we did the lonely gumon i don't want to throw any shade but
Starting point is 00:54:57 basically it was just going to be like an ironic cringy gamer channel what we wanted to do what we wanted to do was take this idea of duck pillow gaming build this old like YouTube channel around it and just see how shit we could make it and how much traction we could get it with how shit it is so yeah it would be like an ironic knowing that it's pure shit but also making Making it seem earnest and, like, real. Yeah, yeah, so it would have been our work. But then Max loved it, and he tore the face off the...
Starting point is 00:55:36 Max, my old gold retriever. Yeah, he tore the face off the pillow. That's not what killed it, though. It never began. It was just like a random throwy. It was always a dream, and dreams can be killed. Yeah, it was like, you know what, if everything else goes wrong, at least we had a dog girl a game.
Starting point is 00:55:54 It was just like an in-joke between us, you know? Yeah. Yeah, and it was like kind of a reassuring thing at the end of the day. Yeah, at least we all else fails, we know we can count on duck pillow gaming. I would have said just, why did you tell that story? That was awful. I thought it was the interesting story. Fuck you. That was a great story.
Starting point is 00:56:12 How dare you? Dog pillow gaming. Where's your fucking equivalent duck pillow gaming? Yeah, where's your story then? I don't have a... There's a... I don't have a quingy story. There's another time where a jar went into duck pillow gaming.
Starting point is 00:56:27 We put all of... That's a fingernail. Oh, that's mine. I'll take that. Why is there a fingernail? It was just in my sock. To hear. In your sock?
Starting point is 00:56:38 You fucking don't know. No, it was a... I obviously walked in it and it's got stuck to my sock. It's not my toe, now. No, there's another timeline where Duck Biller Gaming has like 15 million subscribers. Yeah. Yeah, legit. We're all living in L.A.
Starting point is 00:56:59 In the jar house. Damn. Okay. Ododas asks this. What light types are the cast of Madagascar? Light types? I'm not answering. As in LED neon incandescent and fluorescent.
Starting point is 00:57:20 No, fuck that. I'm not answering this question. Fuck you. Fuck you. Stop. Light types. Fuck you. Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Personally, I think Alex's LED. Alex is not LED for the record. No, he's neon. Marty is LED. Yeah. Alex is neon. Flashy, kind of. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Juice Guy 50 says, what do you think of open season? Don't... The movie. Which open season characters are the Madagascar guy? Just start. I only know the main two. Isn't it like a bear and a... Moose?
Starting point is 00:57:54 Yeah, like a moose or a reindeer or something. I don't know. Brother Bear's better than a... and season. Brother Bear's pretty shit. They're both pretty shade. I can't throw a shade at Brother Bear. I've seen it once and when it came out.
Starting point is 00:58:05 It was just like Disney's really lame period. Yeah, they just kept missing. But they weren't very good either. They were just... I mean, I guess that phase not really... Yeah, that's right. Wait, I just needed to toss some shade
Starting point is 00:58:19 at modern Disney movies. Go ahead. Because they're still totally in that phase. Their movies still aren't great. but they're not like bad enough to hate they're just incredibly mediocre yeah they're just really popular
Starting point is 00:58:35 now yeah I guess that's the biggest difference yeah monopoly baby actually now like zootropolis was pretty good I don't see it that's only
Starting point is 00:58:47 too many like perves were her attacks for that movie in my mind now wolf 34 the movie yeah but like that's just fucking at every animated movie at this point Yeah, yeah, it's true
Starting point is 00:59:00 Like I saw like there's this whole fandom around the mum From Onward the latest Pixar movie So where's this kind of fucking end? That's because he's a mum Of course James would say that What? I just, I...
Starting point is 00:59:17 You know, mulf hunter himself No, Pixar do have a certain way of making mum's look Milfs They both do it Yeah They've both been doing that No, everywhere, everywhere does it Mums have to
Starting point is 00:59:30 Mums Okay What about this then From uh Joseph Zed Khan What game consoles are the jail members This is their choice See if you agree
Starting point is 00:59:45 Okay Alex, the Wii Manchild Who is also the most well known James the PS1 From a Japanese company High Abundance of Quality Racing Games Ruben
Starting point is 00:59:56 The Xbox one. Powerful Chad, who you don't see much of these days. The Xbox 1 is in the Xbox 1 or the first Xbox. The Xbox 1 is in the Xbox 1. Right. Not the original Xbox. I don't think that really applies because the Xbox 1 in many regards was an embarrassment. It was a fucking embarrassment.
Starting point is 01:00:19 360. Yeah, I'd say Reuben the Xbox 360. Yeah, that makes sense. Jim, the PS3. a beast of a console if there ever was one again I changed that because I hate the PS3 yeah I saw a picture
Starting point is 01:00:35 I saw a thumbnail of one of buggy's latest videos which was like his console tier list and he had PS3 in S tier in the thumbnail anyway which made me quite angry dude that the controller of the PS3 is enough
Starting point is 01:00:47 to make it back console those first wave controllers were like the worst pieces of shit I've ever experienced it wasn't just first wave though Those just were the PS3 controllers If I don't think that's true Really?
Starting point is 01:01:02 They did not get better But I got a PlayStation way after An older one An older PlayStation Yeah we didn't have any money You couldn't afford like a Did I not get a controller? No it was it was used
Starting point is 01:01:12 No I know the PlayStation was But I thought I bought a controller at some point No Controllers have always been like really expensive Yeah yeah What's their reasoning for me being the PS3 though A beast of a console if there ever was one To be fair, that thing was pretty, like, beefy.
Starting point is 01:01:29 Beastly does describe the PS3. Yeah. Yeah. Because the PS3 kind of beastliness is more notable than the Xbox One original. It's kind of beastly in a bad way. It's like, ugh, that's just kind of a fucking monstrosity, whereas the PS3 at the time was kind of like... It was kind of ahead of its time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:50 In terms of the, like, actual consoles that was up against as well, it was probably the most... stable why are you laughing he's stinky farted yes why are you farting so crazily because there's poo you're channeling argue
Starting point is 01:02:05 that's messed up but yeah otherwise I quite agree with the yeah the assignment I'm going to call myself the PS2 because the PS2 is popular and
Starting point is 01:02:18 so Argy's the PSP then yeah argues the PSP and Paisley's the switch D.S. Light. No, the original, because it's got Nintendo. Don't do that, James. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 01:02:32 In the audio. Tun Lang asks this. Alex mentioned in a cast about being a fan of Zero's Smash Bros content. I was wondering if Alex or anyone else on the cast has heard about all the allegations of paedophilia, sexual assault, abuse, and more that has come out been admitted about by
Starting point is 01:02:50 top players, including those about Zero. If so, Let me start by answering the question Because I mentioned it would have been so long ago It would have been around It would have been when smash was still newish Yeah and some yeah When we were playing it a lot
Starting point is 01:03:09 And at the time I was watching zero a fair amount But then I got quickly sick of his videos Because it was just the Daily upload I can't take it with the daily upload channels There's something about it that just pisses me off so much Um That's just a me thing there
Starting point is 01:03:25 But yeah This stuff This whole Sky House Smash Bros thing It's like the most fucked It's so Weird Yeah just trying to wrap your head around it
Starting point is 01:03:38 It takes It takes a lot To actually understand How any of this actually Happened in the first place With that whole Smash House I don't even fully understand it
Starting point is 01:03:47 Because you can't actually Find out about it online It's not like a thing Well the way it kind of work was that Sky Williams own this house and what owns, I don't know. Went it, I think it was a joint went thing.
Starting point is 01:04:01 But the point was he had this little kind of almost fascist dictatorship going on in this little microcosm where he was like the ringleader kind of owner of this dynamic where he owned this house and he was kind of allocating rooms and space for these people, a lot of them smash players, coming in but there were also people that would just like bunk in rooms because they just wanted a cheap place to live for a bit because there were like how many people in the house there was around 20 to 21 I think um with multiple people sharing bedrooms it was like two it was like four people per room so it was four desks so each had their desk so I made videos yeah they're like pictures of like what the kitchen look like and stuff and it's just like a fucking mess like I don't know how you could possibly think it was a
Starting point is 01:04:51 good idea. I had no idea. I don't know how anyone in that situation would have been comfortable doing that. People, when they're in cities and they're just looking for a place to live, like, they get desperate. I guess. Like, a cheap place to bunk in a
Starting point is 01:05:07 popular city. It's really valuable. So people will put up with shit, weren't they? And with, like, all the weird, like, you know, the money side of it. and they're all like smash players all practicing and of course it just led to the depravity that wound up going on.
Starting point is 01:05:29 Yeah, it's hard to say. It's just there was like a 15-year-old in there. He's like an artist and there was bad shit there. That's one of the weirdest things to me. Like, why was this person living with all these men? That relates. How did Sky let that happen in particular? because my understanding was
Starting point is 01:05:53 her home life was really bad really bad extremely bad so then this one person offered her offered her like to make like a tiny team and then they go into that house and then he abused her
Starting point is 01:06:11 what Sky Williams no this person and then the rest of the people there including zero were really weird like really strange like showing porn all the time and just doing really like weird shit
Starting point is 01:06:25 that's what I mean like how did nobody in that situation was like hold on doesn't nobody else think this is kind of wrong yeah and then
Starting point is 01:06:40 yeah and then obviously and Abby did you see the way Sky Williams has addressed it all no I've he did a vote on Twitter saying how should I address this should I do a twit longer, should I stream it or make a video or something
Starting point is 01:06:55 and what won was a twit longer and then he deleted the tweet and then did a live stream where he talked about it so I guess he could monetise it a bit yeah and he kept getting like donations and shit during he's a fucking shady ass person like there's a lot of just
Starting point is 01:07:11 like man you're fucking really manipulating people and all that fuck yeah it's just a fucked situation I just the whole idea the Smash House in the first place was bound to go wrong because you can't do that. I'd never heard of it until all of this drama. I'd heard of it before
Starting point is 01:07:26 because some players were very anti-It I believe and they were just like this is not great. But I think zero is gone now, isn't he? I think he's just done. Yeah, for now. I assume Sky Williams is going to be the same because how can you come back from that? You know, unless you're a
Starting point is 01:07:43 you know, Keemstar or someone like that I just don't know. Unless you're one of those uncancellables. don't know how you can really come back from something like this bad a lot we'll find out yeah a lot of the big yeah i don't know how many players have been like canceled but there's been a fair few quite big ones but like the amount of people involved in that house is a bit like twice there was major players and one of them you two i think got out like quite early on so he's like avoided yeah because obviously none of like no one truly knows what happened apart from the people that
Starting point is 01:08:15 are involved so we're just seeing all these like tweets about it and all these like yeah I mean and even then if you're in a house with that many people like I'm sure there's like loads of stuff you just wouldn't know that's happening yeah if you if anyone wants to know though my the clearest way I've got it is a Gsu art she was the girl the 15 year old in there she's done a whole like to it longer about it and explains like the situation find that and I believe you can there's a mega thread on our smash bro's yeah it's probably on there but so
Starting point is 01:08:46 really like her up by the way she's a great artist. Odd does as, again, I think we answered something from them already. Yeah, if you didn't say that fuck zero. What, yeah, I mean, and all of them stop watching ages, I guess. Especially the fact that he like bullshit
Starting point is 01:09:04 he had a statement. Yeah, he tried to weasel out of it. Four times, I think, before it was just like, yeah, this is like, yeah. Oh, I thought it was just the one. And then it's just like, oh, people aren't buying it. Oh, this is the truth. There's no way to spin it after. all the information
Starting point is 01:09:20 up that badly but that says a lot about him when you're actually trying to weasel out of that shit like come on yeah if that's your first response fuck that but anyway Oda Zaz says
Starting point is 01:09:31 what do you think of the legality of weed and other drugs here in Canada marijuana was made legal and I hope that other countries decide to follow suit as Canada is far from the first country
Starting point is 01:09:41 to change the legality and so far it seems that there is no negative to legalising personally I believe all drugs should believe legal at least to use not dealers fuck heroin and meth dealers but I don't see how drug users are criminals
Starting point is 01:09:54 they are more victims since there is an argument to be made that prison helps drug addicts quit I could see prison being acceptable but what I find wrong is giving them criminal records which force them to live lives of crime instead of going straight that ties in and this is my
Starting point is 01:10:10 same belief it's the Portuguese route completely decriminalized if you've got cocaine you're not a criminal they will offer you support unless you have like a room like if you're dealing if you're trying to deal it that's a crime like there's no reason and I will say this why drugs should be illegal I don't get it yeah what's most sick to me is that especially with the way so many like systematic structures are in place
Starting point is 01:10:41 like the NHS or in America just the way like medical institutions work where a lot of the they happily will just prescribe these incredibly heavy painkillers and then stop prescribing them and then your you're fucked your only route for that intense addiction is to fucking buy heroin illegal it's so much cheaper like there's a there's a certain drug where if you'd like do really severe shit if you're your back it'll like fuck you up for days like that's that's that's like incredibly large drugs and when people go on that there's a lot of times and when they're given a lot of it it's just like they need it, they want it, they constantly.
Starting point is 01:11:20 So they break into pharmacies and steal it because it's just like that's what they want. This stuff has been on my mind recently because Jim and I have a family member who is literally addicted to a pretty powerful opioid, yeah. An opioid prescribed by her GP and in like she's, it's like been ruining her life
Starting point is 01:11:39 for months now. And when she called up the GP to be like, I like to say that she thinks she's concerned that she's addicted to them. And then the GP, like, laughed and was like, yeah. Yeah, I suppose you're a junkie now or something. Yeah, you, like, joked about her being a junkie. And it's like, you fucking prick.
Starting point is 01:11:59 Yeah, it's disgusting. She did that. It's disgusting how, like, just like the most obscene drugs are like, oh, it's medical. We'll fucking get you addicted to it. And she's the, she's like a boomer as well. So she, like, really trusts every single word that comes out of the GP's mouth. So, like, it meant a lot to her to, like, because, she especially hates like putting any
Starting point is 01:12:21 medicines and stuff without like researching it and really believing that it's going to do the trick so that's really pissed me off and yeah it goes beyond that like it as the question said like I just don't understand blaming drug addicts for being addicted you know
Starting point is 01:12:41 punishing them for it that's the weird part to me the thing the thing is is people only get addicted because it's illegal because if reader is legal people wouldn't be slowly drip fed into cocaine and harder drugs by drug dealers because it will be legal so you cut out addiction there
Starting point is 01:12:57 that solves quite a lot of people because that's how you get addicted is through that type oh here's a fucking gram oh here's two oh here's five and then you're addicted and then they're getting that fucking argument people try to make where like this gateway drug argument
Starting point is 01:13:12 yeah that's only because it's criminalised so you've put it in the group of illegal things. Like, beer isn't a gateway to weed. No. Because beer is in the legal section. You have to be drip fed it from illegal means to finally... Yeah, that's where it all began with me with the legality of it,
Starting point is 01:13:35 where the hypocrisy of what is legal and what isn't. It's just so inconsistent and frustrating to me that... I'm not really sure if every drug should just be legal. to buy just from shops decriminalising definitely no because if you do look into how Portuguese has done it there's been no negative
Starting point is 01:13:57 I don't think I can't say certain but I don't think there's been massive issues of the whole decriminalisation because imagine how many addicts are too frightened to get help get help because they're fearful of the stigma against being an addict well not just the stigma but any possible legal repercussions
Starting point is 01:14:15 of it why would anyone ever try to get do better and then it's just like it's really slippery stoke because when you spend so much money on like you know cocaine and all
Starting point is 01:14:26 all that that shit's expensive yeah so when you can't get that hip you need it you resort to other things and that's why we've got these fucked up drugs like Crocodile which fuck you up because they're the most dirtiest shit because people are being destroyed by the actual drug and
Starting point is 01:14:40 financially yeah do you think though um it being decriminalized would make people more willing to try it. Do you think that's a possibility? Yeah. But it's just like...
Starting point is 01:14:59 But like it... So, well, we got to let the government dictate what substances we're allowed to choose, whether to get addicted to or not. We're allowed to choose if you want to get addicted to cigarettes, sugar, coffee, alcohol, you know. I would like to say the people who are going to try it
Starting point is 01:15:20 are going to try it if it's legal or not. I have friends who are not like I know if it's legal they're never going to try because they're just not that type I don't think if illegal would change that. I don't know if that's necessarily true. It's hard to say but
Starting point is 01:15:35 I mean it's such like a taboo though like from my experience in the UK like people don't want to openly talk about it because it is considered such a like no you can't yeah talk about this because of this fucking like war on drugs thing like if you do any
Starting point is 01:15:51 research into the whole history of it it's just like founded on complete BS most of it you know yeah well I just think there's there's got to be some sort of middle ground you know because yeah which is
Starting point is 01:16:07 don't punish the people who are hopelessly addicted to something who desperately yeah especially if it's something like you've been prescribed these pain pills and then they're just yanked away like withdrawal is a real
Starting point is 01:16:22 fucking thing and like it affects your brain chemistry you can't just willpower your way through it you can't go sure some people can't you can't go cold turkey off of drugs even alcohol because it fucks you up Amy Winehouse died for a reason that's cold turkey
Starting point is 01:16:36 yeah you cannot cold turkey ever it fucks you up yeah man In our ideal world I want it to be decriminalised and I want I think that's the first step is to decriminalise
Starting point is 01:16:51 It's not decriminalising isn't making it legal It's just like not making it Because it's just like I mean if if If you were If some impressionable person was at a party And they were offered coke Rich is a lot of young people
Starting point is 01:17:08 Yeah but do you think They would be more likely to accept if they knew that there couldn't be legal repercussions probably in the party environment yeah I mean that's the one aspect of it that I would question but I do agree with you
Starting point is 01:17:23 for the most part when it comes to the majority of drugs like it's not fair to ruin these people's lives that them being illegal is what puts people a lot of people often I think it acts as a deterrent
Starting point is 01:17:39 in but but It gives the wrong message, though. It's a case-by-case basis, you know? Yeah, but my problem with it is it does just give off the wrong message, where we have these, like, these things in place that are incredibly hypocritical that make no sense. And you go down this rabbit hole where once you find out these demonized drugs that you've been told
Starting point is 01:18:04 are this one way your whole life, and then you experience it for yourself, and you're like, oh, this is nothing like the way the government has been telling me this thing. is and like the scariness and all this about it and then you find out for yourself and you're like well maybe the other shit that is all illegal is actually the same way so it could propel you in that direction that's a good point yeah so there's so many like facets that
Starting point is 01:18:30 but if you yeah if you if you just look at the stats that come out of Portugal I mean that the thing you've got to think of there and I've seen this argument from Portuguese people young people will do stupid shit one like you're young you've been at a party yeah you've got a little bit of cocaine on you if you're in this country you can have a criminal record you can't get jobs you're not you you can't supply yourself for the future you've ruined your life in portugal and that's case it's just like these young people who are doing stupid things while young yeah aren't
Starting point is 01:19:01 fucking up their lives and kind of well yeah i don't know how to say this like they're not they don't help the economy when they're they're fucking addicted well as the question said it what other choice do you have if you have a criminal record and you can't get a job than to just go back into like some kind of drug-related trade? That's the great irony. And then you start dealing it. Yeah. And that's a whole other thing.
Starting point is 01:19:24 I remember in a every year there's like a little festival in our town. One year I remember this big kerfuffle because like a 19 year old was caught with like a joint and he was arrested and he would have a criminal record now because of that. Like that's worse. Like weed as well. Like, I'd really dislike it. And I can straight, like, the criminal convictions in Portugal of young people with drugs is... It's like, have you ever been at a train station on, like, a Saturday?
Starting point is 01:19:53 And seeing the, like, state of people, like, all just pissed out of their minds. Like, just harassing people, fucking walking around, stumbling over, vomiting. Like, that's allowed. Like, why... I just don't understand. One 19-year-old with a joint is... It's so bad. But it's like, if it wasn't criminalised... It would do good for, you know, prison systems, in some cases, you know,
Starting point is 01:20:16 just government services because they're not going to process these crimes and better for the economy because these people have jobs because they're not being criminalised. I just want to see, like, proper education and proper research being done into it. Yeah, yeah. I want to just know the truth. I don't want to know the fucking bullshit spin on it. I just want to know what these substances are, what they're capable of, what the risks are. And we can't properly assess it when they're these, like,
Starting point is 01:20:41 taboo subjects that were scared to even talk about the legality that is a good point the thing it was it's like that they're it's fear mongering yeah the war on drugs yeah but in doing that you're the only way for people to find out the truth is to do it themselves the thing I know this this isn't exactly related but the thing I find really ironic is what is that that Tory party for really young people and they just be cunts? The Bullington Club?
Starting point is 01:21:18 I guarantee you how many times they've probably done really hard drugs constantly in their youth and then they're the people of the country leading the country and they've done it. It's just so fucking hippoical and I hate it. Yeah. Just decriminalised. That's right. People should follow Portugal
Starting point is 01:21:33 on it. Generally follow Portugal, look into the actual scientific fucking facts, the statistics. That's the truth. You follow that. Yeah. It's just sad that it's like the seriousness of some of these addictions, like, the help you need. You're just saying. It's so ridiculous. To be pulled out of that. Like, I'm pretty sure back in the Vice days when it was good before it went weird, they did some really good stuff on actual drug addicts here.
Starting point is 01:22:03 And it's like these... Especially like in Scotland. It shows like them trying to get help and it's just like, I don't get any help. I can't do anything. I have to go back. It's fucking sad, man. But yeah, like, there's loads of videos to watch if anyone wants to get some information and watch it.
Starting point is 01:22:20 Yeah. There's actually a really good one about the Portuguese system and, like, it's comparison, all that. Yeah, and this isn't out of some, like, want or need to be, like, I just want every drug, so I can just, you know, lose my mind every day. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:22:35 I just, I think you just... You want to be responsible, but you also want there to be some, logic to the way this stuff is kind of constructed. How about this? Cherry Rabbit Loss says Have any of you watched Angry Joe's review on The Last Plus 2? If so, do you agree with what he said
Starting point is 01:22:53 and the rating he gave it? I only know the rating he gave it. Oh, what do you give it? What do you think? What's your guess? What did Angry Joe give the Last 5? You got it? Boom. And as far as it
Starting point is 01:23:09 just going off that score it's fair I think it's fair I mean I disagree but yeah he can have knowing angry Joe like
Starting point is 01:23:22 if he was like this is a one out of ten I fuck this game then maybe I'd be like come on angry Joe but I feel like a six from Angry Joe is lower than a six from me if that makes sense
Starting point is 01:23:34 I guess if he didn't like the story he's not alone in it No, like it's totally valid to, not like that game. But no, I haven't watched the video. Let's end on this one then, from Sleazy Rabbit. Any plans on making the cast longer consistently now that you have the new camera? 210 was the longest cast I can remember besides the year-we-year, which was three hours long. I personally like the longer cast.
Starting point is 01:24:02 It reminds me of the James and Alex saga of extra long casts last year when Jim was in Mexico. Either way, glad that you guys are back in person and making the POS stacked. Yeah, we're probably going to make them shorter, if anything. Yeah. Well, I don't know. What James is pointing out if you're watching the video version is the timer. We have a timer on the screen.
Starting point is 01:24:23 We used it when we had to have a camera so we knew when time was up and all that. When it was going to cut out. Yeah. And so far, the first two episodes, we've actually recorded for a long time, but it's just we've cut. I don't know how much of this time they were.
Starting point is 01:24:37 was you trying to pee? Quite a long time. Yeah, it was like half an hour. 20 minutes. It was about half an hour. It was about to... The poo didn't come out, but it sounds like... It smells like it's coming out right now.
Starting point is 01:24:51 Oh, actually, no, there's one more question I want to end on. Okay. Sorry. Comic book Archer says, Hey, guys, I'm interested in trying CBD after hearing what you said on the last episodes. What's the percentage of CBD and the oil you use and how much of it do you take?
Starting point is 01:25:06 I don't really know which oil to buy so I'm curious what you guys use Thanks for reading this Um Yeah no you'd be tried it last time didn't you You tried um oil No the um I'm the one who takes the oil
Starting point is 01:25:17 I too have oil I've tried the oil and It's not You all you do for the oil is it's just Three drops under the tongue Three Three drops under the tongue You hold it there for a minute
Starting point is 01:25:29 And swallow and then it's done Three Three You can't like what are you gonna do with it in your mouth just leave it there. I did it totally wrong then. They do? There's lots of different ways to do it.
Starting point is 01:25:43 Oil might not work. Like, you've had the tea. Yeah, I mean, everything... There's different forms. There's loads of different forms and there's... But what percentage? Um... Because that, the oil I take is 20%,
Starting point is 01:25:55 but you can... That's quite a strong one. Yeah. You should always start at five. That's the lowest down you can get. And the... With CBD, with it, it's kind of like, it's kind of, it's legal, but there's a lot of companies that
Starting point is 01:26:10 sell dirty products. They're saying like cheap CBD that's not got the best carriers, it's not great. I have, I have, I, I, I, I, there's someone I know who actually, you know, he, he set up a CBD company and sells, gets a stuff straight from California, like the oils, so it's really good quality shit. You know, actually, um, the UK is one of the biggest producers of weed, weirdly. That's wild. But I have this. Like medical grade.
Starting point is 01:26:39 The one I buy is Sibdol Swiss purity 20%. The company is called Sibdol, C-I-B-D-O-L. If you want to start with yours, I'd go for a 5% full spectrum. Yeah, I mean, even if you do have a 20%, you're not going to get hurt by it. No, but you should get your body used to it.
Starting point is 01:27:02 Because over time, you'll react better to it because it's a new kind of thing for your body and your mind. Go with full spectrum because the broad spectrum has a little bit of THC in, like a very trace amount. It's like 0.03 or something like that. I buy the board, I buy the board spectrum from my, my guy at, um, nature's solution. Just does it local to us.
Starting point is 01:27:27 So it's like, I've, I've given you guys some stuff to try. Yeah, good. So it's just he delivers to me and he's just like, I know him from, from, my work and it's you know you it's a good thing to start and if you can get some teas as well to see what you like well that that that would be my recommendation because um i don't know if you've got something nicer since but my experience with the oil was that it actually taste quite foul that's no that's it just tastes like olive oil putting it in your mouth with like a kind of weedy taste to it that that you oil you had i'm pretty sure was bad
Starting point is 01:28:02 it's like my guy specifically said this is a bad oil, don't buy it but this mice guy has But even then like just having oil in your mouth To me isn't the nicest So I prefer one It's just so efficient though And you don't have to eat anything
Starting point is 01:28:15 Yeah yeah But I like I It's nice to have a hot drink Of an evening And if you just have like a tea bag I guess I guess the oil thing's just kind of cheaper Yeah maybe I don't know it lasts a long time
Starting point is 01:28:29 It does I bought one at the start of quarantine and I've only just run out. Oh, right, well. I've bought one at the start of quarantine as well, and I'm nowhere near one out, but then... But I use it way more regular than you do. But I try it.
Starting point is 01:28:41 I have a lot of other things as well. Like, teas are a really great way, because I used to have one in the morning. Yeah, I had one in the morning, but it's just like... It's not cheap green tea, but, like, you know, it's CBDs you've got to expect. It's going to be more expensive.
Starting point is 01:28:56 Like 20 bags or something. It took me a good month to get through, and it's just like, when I wanted to be cheo, I just have this. because it worked for me. Just having green tea, it tasted nice, I just chilled out, and it's nice. That's a really nice way to do it
Starting point is 01:29:08 because you feel normal doing it in a way. Like, the oil, you've got to do the whole process, but drinking just a normal thing you might do anyway with, like, tea. It's a really easy way to do it. And it's one I do, and it's helped with my work stress and whatnot. And it's, you can get green teas, normal teas, anything, really. and then you can get like you know cookies and whatnot there you go
Starting point is 01:29:34 definitely try out my guy because he's great check out James's guy there could be a jar discount code at some point that's saying my guy makes it sounds way more like dodgy yeah weeding no I mean
Starting point is 01:29:47 the company I use it's a legal product you can buy it but he's just a colleague and his stuff is actually really good it sounded like you said it's illegal product it's a perfectly legal product is that better that's perfect
