Right, who's hosting?
I don't think we have chaos energy today.
That was the cringest thing I've ever experienced.
Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gents, and welcome to Jarkast episode 233.
I'm your host, Alex, joined as always by James.
Good afternoon
And Jim
Morning evening
Before we go too deep into the show
Let me shout out the Jail Media Patreon
That makes the
Audio version possible
And the special shout-out name segment
For Sandys and above
On the first week of each month
Another day, another dollar
Another day, another dollar
Am I right, my friends
We're up to
what two three three no nothing too special about it to be honest
just another just chugging along two three three special to someone
special to you james no
oh okay just throw this episode under the bus then
let's get things going with the housekeeping then
will we go to some of the feedback and questions from the last episode
and just round up some topics that maybe we didn't
fully cover or whatever or the perspective
There were two major conversations that came out of last episode, the first being the kind of self-confidence body shaming topic, which got a lot of good feedback.
So let's go through some of these Hooper left one.
James's talk on body shaming really resonated with me.
I've always been skinny and got the comments about being skinny.
I never found it upsetting, just a little annoying, as I've tried to gain weight and fail.
The comment about body image at beaches really resonated with me.
It's one of the reasons I turned down beach trips.
skinny like James, 6'060
KG, and I've only just started
properly trying with way protein
and constant exercise.
I'm seeing some slow improvements, but I'd like to hear
more about James' journey with putting
on weight.
Got anything, James?
Not really,
actually, because obviously
like two years ago, when I
lost like four stone, I was
like seven stone, which
is just actually scary given, you know,
like being six foot is actually just like just that's so underweight that's that's like
that's like bordering on becoming like physically ill from like weighing so little yeah yeah and after
that obviously i tried um what was it what's it called again fuel fuel yeah because you you were having
it at the time i think as well and you just recommended because it gives you all you all that you
need and you know slapping like those on with actually eating normally it's just like my body's
getting so much calories and nutrients it helped me gain the weight
and it was like last year I got back to like 11 stone
which is actually quite a reasonably decent weight
within the range you want for your way yeah and then since since then
since then I kind of stopped doing that and I started just having a lot more like
nuts and fruit and having a lot more vegetables and just having a healthier diet
and I have lost a bit of weight since then so I'm like 10 and a half now
but I'm like my diet's healthiest and actually I'm going to be healthier
because I'm not eating like as much sugar constantly but I'm
do want to gain more weight and I think
um
you know a gym might be in
in order
yeah it
it won't hurt
do you feel different
physically
what from what from now to like
compared to when you were seven stone
yeah I feel like healthier
you've got more energy more
better meant because obviously
your weight and the way you eat affects you
mentally so obviously
eating well and having just being
not so underweight you just being not
so underweight you just
do feel much, much better.
For sure.
How do you feel about this one then
from Andrew Wu
12?
I'm going to disagree with James.
In most cases it's polite
to not mention someone's physical appearance
but there are appropriate times to
like if they ask for honest feedback
or you have a legitimate concern
for someone's health and wants to check in on them.
Again, this can all be done
in respectful manner
and it just depends on the context.
I did read this actually
and I think I should have specified more
at the time that you can
can say things so like in a friendship like us i i think i can and not come across as a bit of a
a cunt about it yeah yeah like if you're saying negative things without someone's body and
you don't know them that's when it gets a bit so it's like within an intimate relationship and
like a friendship i think it can be okay with the way you do it yeah but there's times when that's
not okay because there's people out there probably say like horrible things about their
well i read a good example of this very thing you were warning of um it was like a story of someone
commenting on like a colleague or something saying oh have you lost weight you look really good or
whatever and it turned out they had like cancer or something um so i guess you can avoid some
awkward situations like that um Gregory Davidson says new listener to jar here just wanted to say
I'm really glad I started listening to this podcast I just started a new job that kind of sucks
not gonna lie luckily we can wear headphones while we work and I just got to say hearing a group of
cynical Englishman chatting away makes my days go by so much quicker.
I think now is a perfect time to jump on Jha
since you guys got back from a quarantine or whatever.
I still don't know what gooning is exactly.
But I'm sure I do a lot of it, whatever it is.
I hope not.
And then they mention berserk, which I guess we just can't escape.
They ask, is manga always better than anime typically?
Cheers.
I would always say no.
Because I think
like soundtracks
add so much to whatever
and with a manga you're not going to have like that soundtrack
If you think like attack on Titan
the anime will always be better because of the soundtrack
I think that's my personal take on it
because I think that adds so much to the actual like narrative and story
What if you read the manga
while playing the DS game
the Attack on Titan soundtrack
on Spotify
Yeah that can work
But it won't hit the same
Yeah yeah
No that that is quite a good point
I hadn't considered that
I think music for emotional beats and stories
Always add something
Yeah
Especially like we have attack on Titan
That's so heavily driven by that
And berserk as well
Like guts theme
You know you
Yeah yeah it's iconic
Yeah, and that, if you're reading the manga and you get to those bits and you put it on,
yeah, it probably hits, but when the anime does that anyway,
yeah, yeah, it's just a better experience.
Yeah, it depends on what the book is too, like what the art of the original is.
Yeah, like I imagine if you're reading like, like, Lord of the Rings, like the original ones,
the big, the big chunky books, you could probably have like a playlist that is kind of in that style
that's going on in the background and still have like a, that can probably add.
Manga's more like, it's more like comic books, isn't it?
Because it's like graphic novels.
Yeah, yeah.
Matt has our last on this subsection.
About the self-confidence question,
I heard a quote from Buggy.
And even though I'm not a fan of him,
I did like the sentiment.
Be happy with being yourself,
but always strive to be better.
And while I'm not as muscular as I'd like to be,
I can look in the mirror and be happy about being myself.
I think that's about
the solid
It's a bit of buggy advice
You just
Yeah
You just got to love who you are
Yeah the only thing is it's like
Really easy to be yourself
You're just sort of doing it by default
A lot of people are fake though bro
You know
A lot of people
Them haters be fakes
Yeah
You can't trust the haters
No words better than that
And the other major topic
Was this idea
glorification in video games. We're talking about these modern military shooters and stuff.
First, Joe Brown says, I find it strange that even after how much you guys talked up
cyberpunk before it released, you're so ready to say something like, Breath of the Wild 2 is
guaranteed to be a good game. What do you think about that?
From what they've shown. I mean, number one, Nintendo.
Nintendo have such a good rep for actually releasing games that work and aren't broken
and are actually to a very high quality and don't need to be batched
and Breath of the World specifically it's got to be the exact quote sorry that I said
we jumped on cyberpunk being bad at launch but so readily
what did I say about Breath of the World too that it's basically guaranteed to be a good game
um yeah yeah I mean that's another thing it's a sequel
to a really good game made by the same people
using the same engine
same mechanics
it's just expanding on something that already exists
so by default it can't get worse
than birth of the world one because it is Beth of the World
yeah and they've shown like it's it's like the same map
but they've just changed it when was the last time
Nintendo's cyberpunk project the closest was Metroid
which they reset because they wanted to avoid
that whole thing so of all the companies to trust on I
game launch is Nintendo because by their track record they've never they've not done wrong on like
a big scale like cyberpunk let's just say if i was like putting my money down placing bets i'd put
way more money on the breath of the world too than i would have on cyberpunk yeah or pretty much
anything else also saying something is guaranteed to be good is very different to the hype i think
cyberpunk received yeah yeah and what didn't help with cyberpunk was so many of the reviews
before. Yeah, I keep forgetting about that
because they were super, super weird.
Really positive.
Yeah.
Because they made sure to sound like the best possible versions or whatever.
Like, I don't know.
They got the same PC game as me.
Really?
Yeah, they had no...
I think it's more they got, you know,
they got a parcel full of all the limited collectors edition stuff
and a couple grand.
You know?
Their special gamer chair, the yellow cyberpunk chair.
I think that was...
Yeah, and I wonder if a lot of the reviewers were afraid that they were going to get a lot of hate
if they said it wasn't as good as...
It's possible.
I'm sure that...
You could imagine that stuff even subconsciously could affect...
Yeah, totally.
Yeah, like...
When the hype cycle gets that out of control, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Just wanted to spice up the discussion regarding video game glorification a tad.
I personally have zero interest at engaging with first-person shooters.
I tend to exclusively play narrative-focused games, and the stories and shooters tend to be subpar.
I've tried a couple of them, but they've all been a letdown.
I'm writing, however, about the topic addressed in the latest episode regarding these general...
I said genera of games, but I guess they mean generation.
Genre?
Yeah, genre of games, venerating real-life conflicts.
I had a thought while watching the episode that I'd like to add to the conversation.
I think that one should decide to ground a game in a real military conflict,
based on if this choice adds anything to the overall experience.
In films, for example, main characters are written for them to have the longest possible emotional journey to go on,
for the story to be as fleshed out as possible.
The same in my opinion can be applied to the setting of her FPS's, as you could say,
the setting in these games is the character.
P.S. I left another comment that is on my mind.
It's much more substantive, but cheers again, Paul.
Many thoughts?
just having some kind of intent beyond
yeah that that was my thing with
what's the name of that game James
six days
yeah six days in flusia
yeah that that's very similar to
how I felt about it
is it just glorification
or does it serve a purpose
does it want to tell a meaningful story
yeah spec ops
is always the example for telling a story
in like a modern military
setting
but I would even say
even pulling a cod game
I think does it well
like Black Ops 1
I disagree
I think it uses the setting
as a good way
to sell that kind of
popcorny action bullshit
that they do
without it being like
no
so the problem
that the cards
it's more like pulpy
and
it's got like a real vibe
going for it as opposed to
you know whatever
with the modern warfare style is
my only issue with the black up stuff
is the Vietnam
betrayal but that whole game glorifies it
you know because I was going to talk about
this and I've been listening to the
recent mon welfare soundtrack
and it reminded me of why
I've always felt that game was a bit off
and it does stem from the glorification part
because I don't think the game glorifies
it glorifies military stuff as much as the
other cots
So which one are you saying
Doesn't glorify it as much?
The recent one.
The latest black ops?
Modern warfare.
So it's so confusing.
So the latest modern warfare
which is like the
it's the edgy one.
Yeah, yeah.
It is the completely edgy one
and that's why I've always felt weird about it
because I was just listening to the soundtrack
which I want to say is really underweighted.
That soundtrack is generally
actually incredible.
And I was thinking about it
because whenever I think back to that game
I get a really bad taste in my mouth.
And it's because of the way it's the glorification is.
And the most similar thing to it is Black Hawk Down.
I like that movie a lot, but I never want to watch it
because it doesn't really glorify like the combat.
It's edgy and it's not pleasant.
That movie in particular is trying to make you kind of just relate to what it would be like
in such a chaotic, out-control situation and relate to like the soldiers in that.
but and my comparison point is like the end of black ops
you do all of this and it's just fighter jets boats
and it's like heroic and that's glorification
the way yeah the sort of fan fairy sort of stuff
and those two cards and black ops and modern warfare do that so much
like if you think of those games you can you instantly hear the soundtracks
where it's all heroic it's all
but how much of it is power fantasy just silliness
and like how much does that matter
Because that's what some people were saying.
Let's read this one from Kodi T.
I think the issue with depiction of violence and video games
is mostly one of attainable violence.
No one who played Mortal Kombat is going to murder somebody
in the ways that you can do it in the game
because nobody has the ability to rip someone's spine out
with their bare hands.
But with the use of guns in the military,
that fantasy becomes a lot more achievable.
In high school, I was friends with a lot of people in the ROTC crowd,
and almost all of them were huge fans of Call the Duty
and other similar games.
hell a lot of them listed full metal jacket as their favorite movie despite its anti-war sentiment
they were just kids that were blissfully unaware of the implications of real world violence
that saw often glorified depictions of the military and said that's cool i want to do that
yeah and i'd say that's where that's where the recent modern warfare and the original modern
warfare's differ because that's what i mean about like um black ox one there's like there's
it's so removed i feel like um i think it's still
glorifies the like the spec ops it might not be achievable but I think it still glorifies
that all going in deep undercover in these mountains and doing all this but it feels more like like
silly mission impossible dumbness to me yeah it's got sort of a James Bondi vibe and the whole like
you're in the chair with the like memory stuff it's like you know what I mean it's got a clear
tone it's a lot more fiction yeah yeah it's just say because like exaggerated it knows what's
going for when you think if heroic and complete glorification that mission monothea too
you're just a ex-generic soldier
you shoot mini-guns
they blow up a building
all the soldiers on you cheer
that is glorification
that's the thing that at least when Mono Moran Warfare 2 does it
it knows what tone it is
it's like so absurd
I feel like that
that one bit from Mono Morpher 2
that James is talking about
when you're on the
you're in the Humvee machine gun
which is technically actually
it's a replica scene from black
called down actually that's
but like the way that's all done it seems
quite realistic
actually no I forgot about the airport
stuff and everything yeah the airport stuff is awful
um no but that yeah that's
that's realistic and it's glorifying it
but I don't know if it is
like with modern warfare too
the the glorification
I feel like doesn't hit
is hard because it's so
bullshit like it's shock value for shock
values no but the stuff you're doing in the game
like when you're riding a jazz
ski down a mountain and like shooting a machine gun yeah it's so unrealistic and silly and over
the top and but that just action movie schlock which makes it weird to have like the airport
level in there when everything else around it is yeah yeah it's just a weird tonal thing
that video games can get away with when nothing else can yeah yeah it's just it's got me
thinking because like I'm just thinking of Codd in general like if you think of like
the original Monorphae or the black ops here and the current modern warfare
error. It's just, I think
the latest one is the least glorifying
because of its tone, because it's
quite grounded and it's edgy.
I think that makes it more glorifying.
It's like trying to go for realism.
But it, it's not glorifying
because it leaves a terrible taste in my mouth
that it's terrible. You know, when
I find, I, I don't,
it might just be me, but it's just like, I don't
find it glorifying at all because it's, because
it's serious, because it's like, yeah,
this is terrible. Because
back-up's kind of way, yeah.
Because it's the game,
some of the events of that game
when, you know, Captain Price in the Piccadilly
Circus, which is like quite a
shocking level, actually. I think
it's quite good at them as well. But he just
has to make that split-second decision to
quite just kill someone
because they're like a, they're strapped in a
Yeah, an innocent person has a bomb vest
on, and he's in a room full of
other innocent people, and
they can't get the bomb vest off him.
So they have to sacrifice him
to throw him over a rail. But I don't think
that's glorifying, like being a speckoff soldier.
because it's like that's horrible
and that's the vibe I get
like Captain Price is like the character
and he's like that because he's completely
trained to like it's not cool
he's quite mentally mentally trained to not
have empathy to that extent
I think
I think a lot of people would say that is cool
that scene is cool
and that's why I question like do they not get
the undertones of that game
like the whole soundtrack is so
not glorifying
because it's like the Moran War II you can hear
like that
that hyper heroic music
honestly I think that comes down
to the person making the music
because like Hans Zimmer
makes that sort of chantey
music
but the soundtrack to the recent one
off it isn't like that at all
and it's so so edgy
and I'm saying edgy a lot
but it doesn't have that same vibes
and actually it's not going to be like a heroic scene
when it that's not the sound
that's associated with it
but he
does save the day in that scene
and throughout the game
there's a part where
you're interrogating someone
and Price hands you a gun
to point to the person you're interrogating
you point that gun at his wife and child
and you can't pull the trigger
I
don't know how to feel about that
I think the game has it conflict
on what it's going for
like it's going for the edgy
grounded
it's almost too ambitious
for a call of duty
well the issue is
they say
they say like you as the military guy
have to do these horrible things
to save the world
but they never show you
doing something horrible
and it not working out
like when you when you raid a house
and you can kill innocent people
if you mistakenly open a door
think they have a gun and you shoot them
you've fucked up and done a terrible thing
if there was a version of that house mission
where you go into the house to get this intel
but the intel isn't there
you've just done something awful
for basically no reason
I think that actually doing that
would have worked better for the game
yeah totally it would have fit the themes
like if you were to do multiple
house break-ins to find the intel
instead of it going well it goes terribly
and it goes wrong because that puts the hot point
they're saying is as long
as the British or Americans
are doing shitty things
and it's okay as long as they get results
because they're doing it because they have to
it would be the same as if
in the terrorist mission in Modern Warfare 2
you're playing as an American undercover soldier
if he did that terrorist attack
but it got him intel
so he could win World War III
like it would be equivalent to
making doing that act a good thing
that's where it's fucked up to me
But, like, let's take that scenario of the building and it goes wrong.
You've killed innocent people and you don't get the intel.
That type of event would not work in Modern Warfare 2.
No, no.
Because it's too goofy.
The game's too goofy.
Yeah, exactly.
I think that's why I can let...
I can call Modern Warfare 2 a good campaign.
I can let that terrorist mission slide.
Because it's such just bullshit.
Like, what...
If you're an American, like, undercover operative, with terrorists,
why would you have that operative
commit a terrorist attack?
Why would you not have him
like stop them there?
You're standing behind these
obvious villains
with a machine gum
and you can't kill them.
Yeah.
I think the whole vibe
that the recent one offer has going through it
they could make it quite good
if they actually make it.
Yeah, I think if the sequel
did one of the things
that we just said about.
It needs to take influence on specops
as it, he'd do,
Yeah, it can't have this binary
Good bad
Good bad
But I don't think Call of Duty will ever
It don't do that
It won't have the balls to
Like SpeckOps did
That's why it needs to have the tone
of Modern Warfare 2
Modern Warfare 3
Black Ops Black Ops 2
This shit that like
You're clearly not supposed to take seriously
Yeah like silly espionage
Whatever
Yeah I do
Silly spy
I think the new Black Ops game
The campaign
It gets that
It understands
Like it can do shocking things
But it's doing it
like, while it knows what it is, being a stupid shooter game.
And, but I, but do you not like the whole vibe of that game though?
Like the soundtrack and everything, do you not like it?
Because when you think of recent cards that are to the best levels,
it's Monterfair 2 era, Black Ups era, and this card,
this is the recent Mono Affairs what brought the game back to being like,
yeah, no, I think annoyingly, um, modern warfare has some
really good missions like really good there's two different things though the actual like
yeah the narrative is terrible but the gameplay and game design just everything outside of the
actual narrative is incredible but the whole the whole design of everything including the
soundtrack yeah I almost wish there was less context for it maybe then they could have you
like fighting on the side of you know you're not always just an American soldier or British
SAS one of the standout mission
on that game, which I think works
with the whole, my comparison to Black Hawk down
is the embassy mission, where it's overtaken
and you're, you're like going in.
That has such a good vibe to it, and it's just like...
It does, but that has that
just bullshit shock moment.
Yeah.
Which is, like, the villain kills a child.
The same villain that you
threaten his child to get intel out of him.
Yeah.
Like, I just,
cod should just pick, pick it the way it's going.
really goofy you actually do something serious
that is serious but then
it's like they'd rather not
because they can get more cells from being
grey about everything
yeah yeah it's the same but what
I actually want to say is that the
that modern warfare soundtrack is very very
good and it's underrated and I think people
should listen to it to understand why I'm getting
when I'm coming from with this whole vibe yeah yeah
because it's actually really really
good
so um let's do a couple
topics here. I want to throw out
one because it's directly
related to the Jarlings and the feedback
they gave me.
I mentioned
giving up on
Cora.
You did?
I resumed it, thanks to the Jarlings.
I gave up
on episode 3 of season 2
and I'm glad they did because
it picks up basically right
after I stopped.
There's two, especially,
good episodes in that season that are just like a different art style completely and like
it's like a different story um that is related to it but it's cool um but season three specifically
everyone was right it's really fucking good it's really sick really um it's fit yeah in that season it feels
like they got that formula like just working like all the all the mechanics like just coming
his place. Really good villain.
When I finish Avettoe, is it worth
watching? Because I'd already seen season one
of Cora before.
So many of the like beats were already there
so watch season one and if you don't like season
one, don't bother. Okay.
But there is enough from season one to probably give it a try
but three is really good
and I'm really glad people told me to
give it a shot because it was definitely worth it
it's got some of the best
like action stuff in it specifically
because it's, you know, like the original shows
like loads of kids for most of it
it's like all the adult cool ones
in season three that are clashing.
It's like in Harry Potter when you start.
Oh yeah, just like Potter.
Is there like a season four?
Yeah, yeah, season four is not as good
as three
but it's still good
have you finished the whole show then
yeah it's done
damn I've finished it
yeah nice
yeah on the on the day
where I was just blasted
from my vaccine
the day after we should actually mention
we're all vaccinated now
we're part one yeah
we've got a
50% vaccinated
we've all been vaccinated
and it is
I probably had the worst reaction
I guess
you did
you definitely did
I felt a bit fatigued
I guess on my
equivalent of your today.
Yeah.
I didn't have anything too bad.
It was mostly the sore arm thing.
Yeah.
Ruins your sleep.
Yeah, exactly.
I had two days of that.
That was going to happen, though, because you've been injected.
So everything, that's been weird.
I didn't feel, I felt fine.
Like, the next day I felt fine.
Yeah, I was just knackered and just needed sleep it off.
Yeah, I think you will, like, it's either the day after or the day after that,
you will just get a day full of really good sleep because you're just so deep into it.
It's really refreshing.
Yeah.
Just healing it.
I definitely needed it
but yeah it's just like
that system
really efficient
like they've got it
it's sad
it makes me sad
it's like oh this is what
the healthcare service is
when the Tories
actually give a shit about it
yeah
yeah
yeah
they have to
like you know
the people actually involved
are actually
you know
they're probably
fucking exhausted
from the doing
so much of every day
just logistically
how many people
are going through
like the cues of people
and just the organisation
of it
it's incredible
like when I went
I went at like 3 o'clock
And it wasn't super busy
Like I I drove to the place
And this guy at the entrance is all like
Oh just drive down here, go
My colleague would be there
He'll get you parked
That guy
That guy directing the cars
Was the legend guy
Yeah
He was just like yeah
Like perfect
It was just like
Yeah wait hold
And just zooming in
He was like really into it
And you could tell
He was really good at it as well
Yeah
And it was really like
Precise instructions of like
Right you go left
Then left again
And then there's gonna be a guy
There's gonna tell you exactly
What to fucking do
And he was doing it for everyone
Because it's like such a cluster fuck
And there's like multiple roads
Go into like different mini hospitals
Yeah
And he was sorting it
And then you got to the door
And I'm like read this
Hands
Go in there
Go this door stand there
Boom injected
Wait there
Go
In and out 15 minutes
I had an embarrassing moment
When you know you gotta go to the hand sanitised
The thing
Yeah
And like get hand sanitised it
I was like going over the sensor
And it just wouldn't do it
And there's a thing I've noticed
Keeps happening to me
like in
in toilets too
the like air dryer thing
like when it
like in Fargo
just like in Fargo
yeah just like that
you did
know that I noticed that
when I think it was at the start
of last month
yeah you saw me doing
we went to Millonga
or something
or KFC and it's just like
I was I was waiting for you
and you were just doing this
at the thing
just stuck because
with wet hands
and he walked to the other one
and started doing the same thing
and I just walked up
and then it's not like I'm actually
cursed
Don't you think it makes COVID way more real though
When you go to the vaccine place
And there's just heaps of people
Yeah it was pretty real for me
And I probably had it
But I mean I just mean in the
Because I guess us being
Living in a small town
Yeah
It never changed that much
You know the roads were still busy
there was still
it's not like being
slap bang in the middle of a city
yeah exactly
where it's just like
the switch has been turned
and there's just no one
yeah so that
for me it was weird
like geeks
because I went to
I didn't go to a hospital
like you guys
I went to a service station
yeah I went to a petrol station
that had a pharmacy attached to it
and
so then it's especially weird
because this isn't even a place
that's like designed to do this
you just go into this
room where they've got these like
little barrier things
put up and then you go behind it
they inject you with some shit
and then you sit down for 50
minutes yeah just a really
weird experience like just a massive
line outside of the petrol station
yeah
strange times
yes really really very much so
but it's better we've got it done so
you know this is progress
but from what I've heard schools are just
getting loads of cases loads of kids going home
It's fucking up in schools
My niece and nephew
I'm off the next two weeks
Because one confirmed case in the year
Oh really?
Yeah
And this is not the only case
The situation I know of
So kids are getting it
So
Hope
Just hope that a variant doesn't like
Counter the vaccination
And then everyone keeps getting it
Because that's when it'll be like
Oh this is the apocalypse now
When it's like
It's aging so fast
But that's extreme case
Anyone else want to throw anything out
there we go to the mid-break
so I want to do
a little catch-up on the old
jar subject of what have we been
consuming over the last few weeks
I don't want to say this because for
once in my life I've actually done something
so
this week I watched
the handmaiden
I can't remember the director's name
I'll find it for you are because I won't
remember of top of men
you liked it
yeah I like
did a lot um it being being of that director obviously there was just going to be quite there was
going to be twists yeah park chamwook yeah old boy and like the first few parts the first part of that
movie had me fucking raging and then the the two parts after were just fucking incredible i love the way
that movie is directed and you know the story and the yeah it's been a while since i've seen it was
2016
it has like very clear acts
doesn't it?
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Each one reveals like a new spin
Yeah
Yeah
But I didn't realize
That movie was like
Base like World War II time
Yeah
I thought it was like modern
And then you know
When the opening scene
Where it's like
Like the Imperial Army
Or something
It was like oh
Okay I can get down with this more
I think the whole vibe
of that movie
With the old aesthetic
really works
And I just
The ending was great
I think it was satisfying
and I kind of expected it to be a bit more somber
and be a bit not pleasant
but it had kind of a happy ending
and I liked that
and you know
one of the main reasons I watched it was that it was on Netflix
because I heard about it before
and now I've been recommended it and it was just like
oh this is on Netflix
so watch it there
really good things about these
streaming sites
people I feel like
are more willing to jump into like foreign movies
especially
people are just talking about it and it's like oh it's got like really good reviews
when parasite came out i couldn't i couldn't believe the response to that it was really
cool to see yeah because it probably was like one of if not the best movie of that year
yeah definitely so it was cool to see it's probably the the on the international level it's
probably the most well-known like korean movie now and i think the last one would have
probably been old boy before that yeah so it's actually it's just nice that people are actually
appreciating
foreign films
in English
speaking
countries
because it's like
there's so
much
there like
people need
to like
see those
and appreciate them
and then
I watch the
mini Netflix
series called
Barbarians
that's about
the Roman
Battle of the Torto
Berg Forest
I pronounce that
terribly
but it's a six
part
mini series
50 minutes
on each
not 100%
perfect
it's not like the most accurate telling of that whole battle
but they've taken liberties because it needs to be viewable
but people have no interest or no knowledge of like the whole womens and all that
but they put loads of effort into the you know the costume design
the stage design at the end it all works up to the end battle
but like the nicest thing is the the womans speak
historically accurate Latin
so the German tribes speak German, the Romans speak Latin
so it's like they can't communicate with each other
because it's just a real thing of that era
and it's nice hearing that
and I think they put so much effort into that
it's worth watching because of that
and it's just nice to see
and even if you know nothing about the Romans
I think it can be just a good entry point
so it's like oh I understand this is what happens
and you look at the history and then it's like oh
it's a good energy point I would recommend it
because just because of the spoken Latin
and it's really nice.
Fucking sweet, bro.
But other than that,
it's all good.
Do you have any bruh for the mid-brah?
Uh.
No, I won't.
I won't just save it for another day.
Okay.
We'll see after these messages.
Dry Media shirts, now, or I'm going to hurt you.
Description below.
Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to the second part of the show where we head over to Reddit to answer some quizzes, some questions.
What's our first quiz?
Let's do the first quiz from King Cocker.
This might have been asked before, but what are your opinions on the open season movies and how they made their third movie about a circus?
What?
I thought, isn't that just like...
I didn't realize, to be honest, there was an open season three.
I didn't know there was an open season two.
Actually, to be honest, yeah, I'm with you on that.
Yeah.
I thought it was just like a knockoff...
Who made open season?
Some fucking noomless guy.
I thought it was just a knockoff like Madagascar and it never caught on.
Is it rip-off?
No, it's not rip-off.
It's like Canadian fern gully.
This is the premise.
Boog, a domesticated grizzly bear
Finds himself stranded in the woods
Three days before open season
Forced to rely on Elliot
A fast-talking mule deer
So it's Shrek
Yeah, it seems like a Shrek knockoff
Yeah, I think you're right to be honest
Martin Lawrence is Boog
Yeah, it's Shrek
Yeah
So the answer is
Yeah, it's all right
Yeah, if anything, underrated.
Hmm.
An underrated franchise.
We'll do a whole series of YouTube videos on it if we get to like $10 on Patreon.
Brendan R.D. says,
Question for Alex or whoever publishes the casts.
I've noticed that throughout the lifespan of JAR media,
the word JARCast has had multiple forms of capitalisation.
For example, JARCast fully caps or JAR, the C, being upper.
and then A-S-T being lower.
Can we get an official way to spell this word properly
so I can finally end this mental dilemma
of the experiencing?
A, no, it's capital J, capital A.
No, it's jar cast.
It's jar cast.
Capital K, capital A, then R-S-T.
Jarcast.
Um...
What is the answer?
I just said it.
Uh, jar car
Yeah, we have a capital C
And that's it
I'm okay with jar cast
But I'm not okay with jar cast
That sounded like
You made those two things too
Different
You know
Huh
I like jar cast
I like jar cast
But I don't like
Jark
I like JAR car
Yeah what is the Jarker
Cure?
Surely it's the Pisa
Yeah that is
Yeah, he's the pisser
You reckon?
Yeah
The pisser, I'm pretty sure
I'm pretty sure
Has a question coming up
Yeah, exactly
Alistair 13 says
With the announcement
Of a new Kanye album
Do you think we're getting
Another Jesus is king
Are we getting something new?
Has there been an announcement?
Yeah
I feel like it's pointless
Even keeping track
of the things
He's publicly saying
Because wasn't he supposed to
What was it called?
Donda?
Whatever happened with that?
Yeah
He got divorced
So he stopped
No, that's not even true, is it?
Because he...
Wait, what about...
He was doing like a...
Was that the Yeezer's sequel?
Yes.
Yeah, right?
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah, and that's what was being worked on
and that, like, changed into Jesus is king.
Something like that, but there's a bunch of...
Just completely different songs
that you can find that...
and not Jesus' came, right?
Maybe Donda will come out.
Lord knows.
But I don't know.
He's impossible to predict right now.
Yeah.
We're probably going to get a...
If it's like that Dre song, I'd be down.
If it's more like nah, nah, nah, whatever it was called.
Didn't Dre do the production on No, No, No?
Oh, did he?
I don't know.
I only listened to it a couple times.
Hmm.
Yeah.
You might get something good like, um, a follow-up to Life of Babler.
The life of...
Cabrese.
Montecristo.
James House asks,
how old were you when you had your first hangover?
How do you deal with bad hangovers?
Uh, I think I was 19.
Mm-hmm.
Um...
Um...
Um...
I think I probably was 23.
yeah
last year
COVID
March
your first
full-on hangover
type
that was
the codillo
regret that
is that when you
bought the
cat girl skin
yeah
yeah
yeah
I probably would have been
20 something
I was never
much of a drinker though
I'd always
I mean like
I have a few drinks
but like as soon as I get too far
I just had enough
because I don't want to be hung over the next day
because I think it just sucks so much
which is exactly what happened
on the fateful last episode of the last set
you were fine
but I'm always
because I'm always thinking about it
and I'm always drinking water
yeah I drank milk
is that not the trick is to like drink those of water
for going to sleep
yeah it's one but it's like between
Well, I mean, it won't, like, save you.
No.
I mean, there's no sure fun.
Not having any water.
Yeah, but the thing to do is, um, eat the next day.
Eat, like, eggy things.
Slop.
Eggy bread is probably, might be, like, the perfect cure.
And tomato juice is meant to be really good for, uh, mm.
It might just be good for nausea in general.
But, um, luckily, I, I'm not someone that.
it gets headaches.
Yeah, I get that.
I don't get headaches.
I just feel so slow and just a bit.
Yeah.
Stiff.
Yeah.
But, yeah, also, like, antacids.
Mm-hmm.
Eat a Rennie or something.
Do you know, I haven't actually, since the fateful jar cast,
Von Bob the floor.
Pardon me.
since von bombing the floor upstairs i just haven't i've been pretty decent and myself
i don't know how i covered my socks in sick but i wore them all night long i have not
i haven't drank alcohol since and i think i kind of deserve to not drink any since maybe that
was the milk though it was the milk why would i mixing drinks to be fair yeah you were doing you
You were just on your own
wavelength, just doing your own
thing. Why did I
get coffee liqueur and milk and start
drinking them after being fucked down my
face? I have no idea. Because you were the
only one drinking that shit as well, I'm pretty sure.
And then I drank
whiskey after that.
Jesus.
No, that day was so fucking terrible
after, like the next day, just
waking up at like six, just covered in
sick. On Alex's sofa.
Oh yeah, because we did the
we're doing a hungover cast
with all the sunglasses
oh yeah
yeah we had to do at least one
no because that's the
night where I just
I drank it so much I just
I fucking blacked out
I was just gone
did you
I can't remember a thing
well you remember like the order of drinks
and shit that's pretty good
yeah I remember that
and I remember just throwing up
and then I actually grabbed a box
and I threw up in the box
but fucking covered myself in it
the floor the chair
everything
my shoes
and then I just
I don't remember anything after that.
Hangover suck
Hangover suck
and there isn't like a true cure for it
but
I'd say coffee
tomato juice
eat water
yeah
start off water
then eat
eat
Rennie
coffee coffee
tomato juice
hmm boom
sorted
I'm just like
I probably won't drink
to that extent ever again
ever
you don't know
I hope
I don't know if I guess
you know
something happens
but it's just like
I don't like getting that drunk
just getting drunk
where you be sick
and you have a hangover
just isn't pleasant
it's like a threshold
once you
once it feels a bit light and fun
that's when you stop
that's when you just enjoy it
no that's when you double down
no
well speaking of doubling down
Leg 27 says question
Is the jar media meme jar still on set
And is it time we open the jar
And or update the jar
With the recent memes that have spawned over the jar casts
Thoughts
Yeah it is still here
I'm holding it right now
Let me grab one and just see what it says
Dibby
No
That belongs in there
What do you mean no
I don't want the dibby's in the jar jar
This one I'm like I just straight up
I can't read
It says it says everything
time Alex said something.
Every time Alex said,
I can't read it, can you read it?
Yeah, I can't fucking read it.
Every time Alex said,
No Loughton?
Yeah, what?
Then said something stupid.
That does not deserve to go in.
No, loat.
Let me see if I can read it.
No later?
But if it was like a,
charmium surely we'd remember it and something yeah that doesn't belong in there
you see I get I bet you and that was put in there I was like don't put it in there
don't put it in there don't but Alex said no Loten no what if that the N is that
is an R that's an N no later what's Loton what's Loton what's LATN? LATEN what's
what if it's an R
Iotan no Iota no Iota maybe someone's gonna remember what the fuck is that
no don't put it back in yeah why you're putting it back in because it belongs I'll do
one more no fuck that no what the fuck you son of a bitch no stop now I'm gonna
unplug your mic back in put it in fucking put it back in I'll unplug your mic
It was golden pussy.
Yeah.
We'll go through them one day.
That's on the list of videos to do is updating.
Yeah, we want to update and go through.
But we'd need to somehow collect them.
I don't know how.
It's not an easy task.
Well, though we mentioned the piss already,
but Doug Walker fan 27 says,
Hey, Jha, I was really listening to Corncast 30
and near the end of the cast, Jim mentioned he drives a,
Toyota Yaris. I was pretty ecstatic because I also drive a Toyota Yaris and felt
honored to drive the same monstrous motor vehicle as the beast himself. So my question
for Jim is, what's it like owning the hyperfuel efficient and borderline indestructible
gigacad of a car that is the Toyota Yaris? And when lockdown ended, we were excited to get
behind the wheel of the pisser. I would say we don't know what generation of Yaris this person
owns.
So surely what they
described just as a
catch-all,
like it's just
always been...
But they're not all
really efficient
all tanks.
No, they are.
They,
no,
because the newer
ones got more
complex because
they had to be
acceptable.
The Pisa,
the original Pisa
was just a charity.
It was just...
It was based.
It didn't...
I didn't get that.
Could you try?
It was base,
Siri.
It wasn't influenced,
you know?
It was just like,
you know,
what? I'm going to be me. I'm going to be
Buggy 2-988. Yeah, yeah.
It wasn't buggy yet. Yeah, it wasn't influencing
yet. Yeah, yeah. It wasn't influenced by
buggy yet. It was boogie.
No, that car is obscenely efficient.
Yeah, it's
a nice car, but it does piss me off.
It's got no aircon.
It's got no aircon, and at the moment
that fucking fucks. The window.
That's so shit. The window's broken.
Yeah, the window broke like two weeks ago.
the clutch is no longer squeaky that's good
no it stopped squeaking now it's squeaking again
oh when did it stop
it stopped for like a month
really yeah and now it's squeaking again
isn't what else is broken on that
well the clutch is just really high
it is a strange placement
it's not the most comfortable drive
oh yeah the lock
the lock doesn't work on the key fob
that's my fault I put it in the washing machine
and the spare keys were already broken
so now I have to use it like a 60s car
and it
it's got like
minus six horsepower
it's also
I don't think people
really like the pisser
it doesn't have the badge of the front
it just isn't there anymore
no I want to get like a
What's it called?
A hood ornament.
Yeah.
It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's just like, it's what you'd expect from, like a, a 2004 car that's what you'd expect from a vehicle that would be in, like, the last of us or something.
And it's, like, the back seat is just covered in James's messy eating trash.
There's probably like, yeah, melted ice cream.
Do you want to explain that you?
No, we got, this story, Jamie's Toyota, Yaris.
Okay, so I got a letter.
Are you sure we haven't talked about this one, Jop?
I'm pretty sure we haven't.
I got a letter a few months ago saying,
a warning, your airbag in your car,
can actually not save your life,
but actually kill you if you get into a crash.
it will shoot shrapnel into your face upon crashing,
shredding you to pieces if such a thing occurred.
And the funny thing is,
was once you told me,
I was like,
oh,
it'll be fine.
Just leave it.
Yeah,
but I could get a free,
a free,
like,
repair,
so I sorted that out for someone to come and pick it up.
And,
uh,
I'm not going to talk about the guy that picked it up.
But when he did, when I got the car back, I realized James had left an entire
shit, an entire McDonald's McFlurry in the back cup holder just melted sloshing about
while he was driving.
Either that or he went to McDonald's on the way.
I left it there.
Was it a large one or a medium one?
I think it was
probably a small
knowing James
But it's just like
I was at work
I was a sitting at my desk
And I was
I don't know what time is
But I got a call from Jamie
And I was just like
Oh what's this
And I picked up
And I was like
Hello
And you were like
And what did you say
You said something in particular
I don't know
Who do you think you are
Someone along his lines
And you just said the lines
I've just got my car back
From getting the airbag of place
And that's when I realised
I left them at flowing
in the cup holder
yeah
no that that's that's
I'm quite
funny with the way
like the things in my car
right I always hoover it constantly
and it's just like
I won't leave anything in there
so like the idea
of leaving a melted
liquidy McFlurry in the cup holder
just makes me sick
it's the most grim thing
anyone could do you're the car guy
and you did it
I know
I completely forgot
that's what pisses me off
the most about it though
because like if
like if
if I
um if i um if i close james's door with one meter per second um too much force or whatever one
newton too much force uh then fucking i've got hell to pay but you you slam my door you leave mcflurries
in the back you just eat fries just you're like you're throwing fries at your face
the boys of bullshit i caught him whipping his dick out and just peeing all over the seat it's called
the pisser for a reason i've never dropped um uh
fries on the back of your car.
Well, no, that's not true.
I'm certain we all have.
You can't.
You can't, because some of them are so small, they just,
they flop out.
Yeah, and the, the,
McDonald's fry holders.
Has a holes of the bottom.
Yeah, the house of the bottom.
Yeah.
Maybe we should bring argue along,
get him a little happy meal.
I don't, after what I've seen today,
I don't want to argue in my car ever again.
It's not even like I care for the car too much.
It's just I don't want to be in a, like, small space with them.
The window can't open, yeah
It is just one window for the record
On my car
On the left side
The only other electric one
There's only two electric ones
There's two electric ones
50% of them are broken
But
But this is the thing
This is why analogue is always better
You can't break a windy window
In the same way
You can
You can
Not in the same way
In a different way, yeah
You'd have to fuck it
You'd have to fuck it
Instead of it just being fucked
Yeah
but it's just like
it's all a part of the appeal
of the pisser
it is yeah
it's the it's the
it's the little touches
that make it mine
you know
and it's like
what I never want the pisa to die
I don't think it ever will
it just has to keep going
you keep running that engine
it's never going to die
yeah
like the guy said in the question
the fuel efficiency
I can
I can drive like a hundred miles
and the fuel gauge
will go down one notch
the things have seen
yeah that is really good
it's got the
answer to infinite energy
in that engine somewhere
you just drove it
yeah
dude the earth would be in
like you just have lorries
Toyota Yaris at the front
going to six miles per hour
it's actually shocking
because it's like
if we do the same journey
I've used like a quarter of a tank
of like premium super unleaded fuel
it's just like oh fuck
that's 10 pound just gone
you've done
You've done that on purpose, though
Your car would be more efficient
If you didn't make it
Less efficient
Yeah, true
If I just didn't buy it, it'd be more efficient
It's inefficient from the factory
Surely it's more efficient than Bluey
Surely
The noise pollution alone was
No, Bluey was unefficient
Because I drove like a lunatic
All the time, everything
Do you feel like an asshole driving that thing?
Yes.
Did you like feeling like an asshole?
It was a bright blue car with bright white wheels
and it was the loudest fucking thing in there.
It was so loud.
I remember when we filmed Jarre and James would leave at like 11,
turn his car on.
I just be loaded.
Someone is going to get pissed and just to key the fuck out of your car.
Yeah.
And the thing is I sold it with that exhaust.
I sold it with the Yobbo exhaust and it's somewhere in the,
it was it a youngster was it
he had a really loud car anyway and I was just like
it's really loud and he was like oh that's all good
yeah that was the cherry on top
and now I'm never buying a loud car
ever again
it's horrible
your current car is right
the rumble house is just right
it's just it's loud when he turned on when it's cold
because it's cold the exhaust system's cold
and it's like you can hear it coming
it's got a personality but it's not fucking
assaulting you
you could hear when James was going around the
bypass to get to here.
But no, my car car is very pleasant
because it's like, it's loud when you want it to be
when you're driving, you want to be a bit fast.
But then it's just respectable.
I don't look like a yob.
And that's what matters.
But also I feel like car people will have a respect for it.
When they hear the...
Yeah, yeah, because it's turbo and it's...
It makes suck noises.
When you go through a tunnel, you just hear,
shh-shsh!
You hear
I love suck noises
He doesn't
He doesn't man
Piddle knob love suck noises
Which you can tell by his question
Which is
Could you kill a T-Rex if you had a lightsaber
Yes
No
I can confidently say I could kill any animal
If I had a light saber
Name me one animal you can't kill the lightsaber
No because I think you'd be scared by a T-Rex
Because it'll try to bite you
And I think you'd lose it
And it would kill you
No
I don't think you got the
I'd feel the strength
You know like when people say
They pick up a gun and they're like wow
I can feel the power of my hand
It would be like that
But with a lightsaber
Yeah
Yeah
Just even more
It's powerful
I would just shoot you
Before you realise the power you had
You deflect it
Butoo
Not if it's an actual bullet
It would just go through the glass
And break the glass
And your lightsaber's gone
The glass
There is no glass
What do you mean?
What do you even know what a lightsaber is?
What the fuck are you talking about, man?
It's light.
No, it's not.
I'll destroy the crystal in the handle.
Bing.
Oh, the Kaiba.
Yeah, yeah.
Is that what it's called?
The Kaiba crystal.
Come on, James.
Sorry, I don't know Star Wars a law.
You're just beating me with facts and logic.
So we have an important one.
I'm here.
It's a bit long, but for a reason.
Is it a world play?
No, no.
This is from The Jimbus, um, who says,
Hey, FNAF fans.
I'm the moderator who created the silk road between R-slash-JAR Media and R-slash-Fnaf.
And I think it's about time I clarify what happened.
There's a weird amount of history behind it, so this should hopefully put some things into context.
I'll try to be brief.
I actually created this subreddit alongside the IHE sub a long time ago.
I even talked in Modmail with Alex quite a bit when setting up the I.
I was around 14 at the time and also moderated R-slash five nights at Freddy's the actual
FNAF subreddit not R-slash-Fnaf which was admittedly to fuel this weird power fantasy I had
I thought I was tough shit being a FNAF mod and I spent a lot of sleepless nights dwelling over
how embarrassing that is anyway back then there was a full-on war between R-slash five nights at
Freddy's and R-slash-Fnaf as to who was the dominant FNAF subreddit we basically won
when Scott Cawthon, Freddie Maker, started using R-Subb, and R-Sash-F-naf yielded.
A few of our moderators migrated over to surprise...
Sorry, a few of our moderators migrated over to supervise the surrender,
and R-S-F-F-F-Naf was made private.
There was a weird amount of politics on the FNAF sector of Reddit,
and it was about as nuanced as you'd expect.
Around 2017, I deleted my Reddit account once I graduated high-sacreddit.
school because I wanted to let the past die. Turns out I was the only active moderator on
R slash jar media and the subreddit was left almost completely unmoderated for four years.
The reason my old suggestion threads would get stuck to the top of the subreddit is because
I set up the auto posting wrong and instead of fixing it I just deleted threads that got stuck
every few months. At the end of 2020 I began reading through the JAR subreddit more and more and was
really annoyed specifically at suggestion thread bug.
leading me to DM one of the inactive mods, asking if I could come back to fix it.
He said yes, so I cleaned up the subreddit a little, and I've been changing up its look every few weeks.
Back to the Fnaffing.
In one of the 2020 Corncast, Alex told everyone to go to R-slash-Fnaf to leave suggestions.
So I immediately got onto one of my old R-slash-Fnaf contacts and asked if I could use the subreddit,
which had been privated for years.
Then for April Fools, I moved this subreddit to R-S-Fnaf for a week.
In retrospect, I feel pretty shitty about doing that
without making sure it was cool with you guys, and I apologize.
Anyway, now every few weeks since the initial migration,
me and a few of the old R-slash Five Nights at Freddy's mods
make R-slash-Fnaf public again,
and we do a little social experiments with the Fnaffers,
like we're Volt-Tech.
So in summary, time is a flat circle,
and seven years later, I'm still listening to JAR and moderating Fnaf.
Thanks for the context.
That really explains some things.
Holy guacamole.
he fucking forgot he fucked up the fucking posted thread come on
because yeah i was i never understood any of that shit on reddit like
no all of that stuff is so out of my wheelhouse
the suggestion thread is being broken i was just like i don't know what to do then really
yeah yeah
reddit one at this one yeah yeah but but the i
i i i i i i
know part of me believed that like r slash fnav
had like any history with jar yeah that is so bonkers to me yeah you said like maybe
an old moderator of us slash fanaf that's right yeah yeah because i joked about that yeah but
like that is actually true when you said that i thought yeah yeah no way but what the what the hell man
it's such a fucking weird yeah it's like a whole thing like these two warring fnaf factions
And of course we're so mal-related to it
Yeah, one loses
And we just happen to reference the one that lost
And we like bring it back from the brink
From the dead, yeah
Oh my God
Man
I didn't even know how to follow that up
You can't really defeat that
Chains do the dominoes yodel
No, no, we need to infiltrate another sub-edit.
We need to spread our tentacles.
But why was it ars slash fnaf?
Why, yeah, why was it our snass-flath, Alex?
Well, because we're making fun of...
Snash-flath.
Is that what I said?
Yeah, I'm just trying to think.
Yeah, why?
Because we've been meming the Golden Freddy for many a year.
And just the term fnaf is inherently funny.
and we were saying
yeah
he actually goes
really deep
yeah it does
yeah
there must be
another weddit
we can spread our tentacles
our gaming
no it's too big
it's too far gone
we need to build up
yeah we need to like
get all the old
like the FNAF equivalents
and build a mass
our gaming too
the mass effect
andromedus
wed it
the mass effect
whether that's that's one
we need to
to attack. I'm pretty sure the Andromeda has like a huge Reddit.
Yeah, but it does. People that just love it. Well, we need to sneak in.
Tiger-111 says, what are your hopes for what the storytelling will be like in Eldon Ring?
Would you like to see more like what they did in Dark Souls, where the story is more so implied than told,
or more like Sekaro, which tells a story more directly with the main character that speaks in a
progressing plot? Personally, I'm hoping for something more akin to Sekaro, with a character that
speaks. I feel like a souls game
a soul-like game can have
a tuss lore and still tell a story
directly at the same time, like
in Sekaro. With George A.R. Martin,
co-writing Elding Ring, it will be interesting to see
what impact it will have on the story and what it
means his style of storytelling thoughts.
George A.R. Martin
actually
doesn't have anything to do with the story.
He designed
the world, and
that's where his
input ended.
like he he came up with the law and the whole fantasy stuff going on in that fiction but yeah he had like no input on the story itself which are you personally hoping for more then um like a bridge between the two i think that's what it's going to be a bit of both sort of thing yeah well just like a middle ground of the two i think it's it's going to be more character focused on like other
individuals sort of like the mpc stuff in dark souls
because you're you're gonna have a customizable character i'm pretty sure
yeah that's what i was gonna say because in securo that's the character yeah like a character
yeah but i think they've definitely learned from securo and
they said themselves that like telling a story like that the world isn't going to
have like villages and stuff with people in and stuff they said that's not what they're good at
so yeah i think it's going to have a more streamlined story which i think is better
yeah i i just can't imagine them doing like exposition dumps in the form of like cutscenes
yeah yeah um i think it would be good as well to for that to be a way for it to separate
itself from dark souls
Yeah
I'm very curious
How they're going to handle it
Yeah
It's very interesting
From those
Angles
I'm very excited
I think that's the first time
We've talked about
Eldon Rings since
Like the gameplay
Really
Trailer and stuff
Yeah
I think there was a question saying
Like
Thoughts on Eldring
Trailer poop
Because we did
Yeah
It's good trailer
I really have anything to say
Yeah that's why
I haven't brought it up
because, yeah, it would just be me waffling.
Yeah.
Yeah, it just looks incredible.
Luxie Toxen has up an ultimate one.
Not a question, but I want to thank you Amazing Jal Men for doing this podcast for so long.
Really thankful that you guys are still doing this and that you made it to episode 232.
It's 232 weeks.
Thanks to all of you and game on.
And that's not even the actual episode.
We're actually ahead of that.
We're like 250.
If you count all the podcasts.
We're easy 400 at this point.
If you count all the corncasts and all the just bullshit
Point 1.2.003
Well, this is only the start.
Yeah, we're just getting started.
We're still in...
Baby Sage.
I'd say we're in Marble Phase 2 right now.
Do you reckon?
So the shittest bit?
Yeah, the Phase 2 is pure trash.
We have Thor 2 right now.
Yeah, we've got Four Wagner up coming up, baby.
Oh.
well seeing as we're talking about video games
I send on this one from vibrating Pablo
forgive me if I'm wrong
but last episode you guys did not mention any
of the Fallout 76 DLCs
I wanted to know your guys thoughts on them
but most importantly wanted to hear you guys
shit all over them because shitting on Fallout 76
is one of my favourite child topics
thanks Mingus
Of course we didn't bring it up
I forgot it was even there
Well yeah there's that and also
No because it was one of the few moments
from that showcase that got my attention for a second
because they started showing a trailer that was clearly Fallout.
It was like pre-rendered or whatever.
So it was like, oh, they're like showing whatever the new fallout's going to be?
They're like, what was it going to be?
It was like, Fallout 76, the new bit.
And then it's like, but we're not done.
We've got like the next one as well for you to see.
So I'm sure everyone who loved 76 was hyped about that.
And I mean, it looked like more of it.
How about they just like actually fixed the game first?
you can't say that bro
that game is not fixed
don't I don't think I can handle more physical
and violent abuse from the 476 fans again
no people there are straight up
people that think it's just awesome now
yeah and I'm glad they do but
it's destiny syndrome just gain some fucking self-respect
yeah Jesus Christ
if like that is your game
you should expect better from
the developers
the publishers
whoever
they're doing you dirty
because you know what
there is a good ass game in there
there is a really good game in there
somewhere
but they didn't have the ambition
they didn't have the faith in themselves
to push it
and let it become what it needed to be
they just
they had an idea
took it at surface level
and just shat it out
puked it on a plate
to fix it later
which they haven't done
Which they're yet to do
Because it still feels like ass
And it still runs like trash
Yeah because after all those
Like the strings of comments or whatever
Of people defending it
I downloaded it
Ont to my like series X
Yeah I downloaded it on
What's called like the Wastlanders expansion
Or some shit
Loaded in like expecting it to be like a bit polished up
And cleaned up
And it was like the same shit I remember
Yeah you expect at least for the
The poor shooter
in the game to be smooth
to look smooth
you expect the
the game to like
not have shader glitches
and you expect
when you're playing on PC
and the game looks the way it does
or you're playing on the newest Xbox
and the game looks the way it does
for you to not get
frame rate drops into the 20s
into the
the 20s
on a game that looks worse
than Skyrim
yeah
it's embarrassing
it's genuinely embarrassing
like
we can criticise destiny players
all we want
but at least that game is polished
and actually has some redeeming qualities
they destiny fans
don't have any self-respect for themselves
so you've definitely got none
if you're playing 76
well on that note
make sure you leave your comments
just as
talking about stuff
yeah and if you're not here
agree with us fuck off yeah the haters are not welcome yeah haters aren't welcome here we're
all about affirming friends affirmations affirmation in friends so affirm your way over to uh
patreon and reddit to leave your 76 related questions round four five maybe should we do a three
hour special episode on full of 76 but yeah no no 70 let's play the whole game all the content
76
it needs it as bad as
we say
we did that already
wait what
yeah when it came out
oh fuck
yeah I think so
yeah we didn't
dude we did because we did new Vegas as well
we definitely did new Vegas
we didn't do 76
see I'm telling you
no Jim get your phone
no get your iPad and go on
the jar channel and put in 76
I don't think we have
oh we might
we did
yeah
it's full of 76 really as bad as they say
two years ago
James couldn't have been on it though
I was on it I didn't play it
yeah
yeah
yeah
we need to do an updated video
to explain how the DLC hasn't
changed the game but it's still shit
this is the thing there's like two
jamies there's two Alexes
there's two Jameses
pre-covid
post-COVID. It's like pre-COVID, different era, different...
Yeah.
There's a hard line in the sand now.
Yeah. And during COVID
is just like this weird, like...
Shit, it's terrible. Fat.
Limpses. It's the...
It's the bit of the meat you don't want to eat.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's the... It's the... When you get
a T-bone, it's the bone.
Yeah, it's like you throw it in the bin. You don't... you don't use it.
Yeah.
Now, we, we are the fucking...
fillet man we are the fucking filthy fillet just the sloppiest yummiest fillet you can ever imagine
james's good to add jay it's sloppy it's sloppy to describe something good
good and bad like a kebab that's sloppy but that's good that's good
that's good he's got a point yeah no but then there's like sloppy like a melted muckflowy
that's not sloppy that is sloppy i know when i think slop I think viscous I think
like chocolate mousse like dolloped onto a plate or like a casserole
that's quite sloppy yeah like potatoe chunks and like little bits of meat in the broth
what's it called chowder yeah chowder polledge porridge is oh porridge is
supreme yeah but i fucking love porridge i hate porridge i despise porridge i mean you get the
cinnamon or golden soups porridge in any in any like science fiction thing where they're just
like eating rations.
It's slop.
It's just porridge.
It's just like grey.
It's grey.
It tastes grey.
I hate it.
I honestly love the word sloth.
Society does not use.
This doesn't use the word.
Because it's like when you're describing something and it's like sloppy.
It feels so good.
It's a sloppy kind of episode, you know?
The sloppy episode.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
