Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:35 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
Starting point is 00:00:55 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
Starting point is 00:01:18 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.
Starting point is 00:01:54 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
Starting point is 00:02:11 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,
Starting point is 00:02:30 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
Starting point is 00:03:07 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
Starting point is 00:03:32 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
Starting point is 00:03:47 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
Starting point is 00:04:00 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
Starting point is 00:04:12 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
Starting point is 00:04:27 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
Starting point is 00:05:00 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.
Starting point is 00:05:37 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
Starting point is 00:06:00 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
Starting point is 00:06:22 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
Starting point is 00:06:40 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
Starting point is 00:06:54 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.
Starting point is 00:07:25 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.
Starting point is 00:07:45 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
Starting point is 00:07:58 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
Starting point is 00:08:10 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
Starting point is 00:08:35 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
Starting point is 00:09:17 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
Starting point is 00:09:41 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
Starting point is 00:10:17 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.
Starting point is 00:10:42 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...
Starting point is 00:10:53 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.
Starting point is 00:11:10 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.
Starting point is 00:11:40 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,
Starting point is 00:12:07 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
Starting point is 00:12:30 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
Starting point is 00:12:48 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
Starting point is 00:13:01 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
Starting point is 00:13:12 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
Starting point is 00:13:23 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
Starting point is 00:13:43 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.
Starting point is 00:13:55 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.
Starting point is 00:14:07 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
Starting point is 00:14:27 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
Starting point is 00:15:00 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
Starting point is 00:15:23 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,
Starting point is 00:15:42 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
Starting point is 00:16:15 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
Starting point is 00:16:49 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
Starting point is 00:17:05 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
Starting point is 00:17:20 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
Starting point is 00:17:37 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
Starting point is 00:18:07 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.
Starting point is 00:18:28 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
Starting point is 00:18:42 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
Starting point is 00:18:57 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
Starting point is 00:19:13 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
Starting point is 00:19:28 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
Starting point is 00:19:45 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
Starting point is 00:20:01 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
Starting point is 00:20:16 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
Starting point is 00:20:35 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
Starting point is 00:20:50 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
Starting point is 00:21:04 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
Starting point is 00:21:21 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
Starting point is 00:21:39 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
Starting point is 00:21:55 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.
Starting point is 00:22:15 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.
Starting point is 00:22:28 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?
Starting point is 00:22:45 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
Starting point is 00:23:00 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
Starting point is 00:23:12 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
Starting point is 00:23:21 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
Starting point is 00:23:32 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?
Starting point is 00:23:52 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
Starting point is 00:24:30 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
Starting point is 00:24:52 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.
Starting point is 00:25:08 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
Starting point is 00:25:25 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
Starting point is 00:25:41 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
Starting point is 00:25:56 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
Starting point is 00:26:26 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.
Starting point is 00:26:56 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
Starting point is 00:27:14 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
Starting point is 00:27:32 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
Starting point is 00:27:44 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
Starting point is 00:27:54 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.
Starting point is 00:28:05 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.
Starting point is 00:28:16 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
Starting point is 00:28:30 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
Starting point is 00:28:40 actually give a shit about it yeah yeah yeah they have to like you know the people actually involved are actually
Starting point is 00:28:46 you know they're probably fucking exhausted from the doing so much of every day just logistically how many people are going through
Starting point is 00:28:53 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
Starting point is 00:29:03 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
Starting point is 00:29:12 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
Starting point is 00:29:20 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
Starting point is 00:29:28 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
Starting point is 00:29:38 Hands Go in there Go this door stand there Boom injected Wait there Go In and out 15 minutes I had an embarrassing moment
Starting point is 00:29:45 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
Starting point is 00:29:56 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
Starting point is 00:30:06 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
Starting point is 00:30:15 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
Starting point is 00:30:24 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
Starting point is 00:30:46 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
Starting point is 00:30:58 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
Starting point is 00:31:09 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
Starting point is 00:31:23 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
Starting point is 00:31:38 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
Starting point is 00:31:54 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
Starting point is 00:32:05 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
Starting point is 00:32:16 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
Starting point is 00:32:32 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
Starting point is 00:32:48 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
Starting point is 00:33:22 it has like very clear acts doesn't it? Yeah Yeah Yeah Each one reveals like a new spin Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:33:30 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
Starting point is 00:33:40 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
Starting point is 00:33:48 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
Starting point is 00:34:03 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
Starting point is 00:34:18 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
Starting point is 00:34:50 appreciating foreign films in English speaking countries because it's like there's so much
Starting point is 00:34:54 there like people need to like see those and appreciate them and then I watch the mini Netflix
Starting point is 00:35:03 series called Barbarians that's about the Roman Battle of the Torto Berg Forest I pronounce that terribly
Starting point is 00:35:12 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
Starting point is 00:35:23 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
Starting point is 00:35:54 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
Starting point is 00:36:11 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?
Starting point is 00:36:28 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.
Starting point is 00:36:51 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.
Starting point is 00:37:24 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.
Starting point is 00:37:39 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
Starting point is 00:38:00 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.
Starting point is 00:38:18 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.
Starting point is 00:38:44 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.
Starting point is 00:39:04 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
Starting point is 00:39:21 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
Starting point is 00:39:33 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
Starting point is 00:39:45 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
Starting point is 00:39:54 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
Starting point is 00:40:03 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
Starting point is 00:40:13 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?
Starting point is 00:40:28 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?
Starting point is 00:40:46 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.
Starting point is 00:41:04 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...
Starting point is 00:41:20 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...
Starting point is 00:41:37 Um... Um... I think I probably was 23. yeah last year COVID March your first
Starting point is 00:41:50 full-on hangover type that was the codillo regret that is that when you bought the cat girl skin
Starting point is 00:42:00 yeah yeah yeah I probably would have been 20 something I was never much of a drinker though I'd always
Starting point is 00:42:10 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
Starting point is 00:42:26 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
Starting point is 00:42:42 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.
Starting point is 00:43:02 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.
Starting point is 00:43:20 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.
Starting point is 00:43:40 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
Starting point is 00:44:17 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
Starting point is 00:44:33 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
Starting point is 00:44:48 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
Starting point is 00:44:58 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
Starting point is 00:45:08 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
Starting point is 00:45:20 eat water yeah start off water then eat eat Rennie coffee coffee tomato juice
Starting point is 00:45:31 hmm boom sorted I'm just like I probably won't drink to that extent ever again ever you don't know I hope
Starting point is 00:45:40 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
Starting point is 00:45:51 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
Starting point is 00:46:03 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
Starting point is 00:46:20 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
Starting point is 00:46:34 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?
Starting point is 00:46:50 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
Starting point is 00:47:10 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
Starting point is 00:48:06 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.
Starting point is 00:48:28 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
Starting point is 00:48:55 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
Starting point is 00:49:09 really efficient all tanks. No, they are. They, no, because the newer ones got more complex because
Starting point is 00:49:14 they had to be acceptable. The Pisa, the original Pisa was just a charity. It was just... It was based. It didn't...
Starting point is 00:49:23 I didn't get that. Could you try? It was base, Siri. It wasn't influenced, you know? It was just like, you know,
Starting point is 00:49:33 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.
Starting point is 00:49:52 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
Starting point is 00:50:09 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
Starting point is 00:50:27 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
Starting point is 00:50:52 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.
Starting point is 00:51:18 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,
Starting point is 00:51:50 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,
Starting point is 00:52:11 oh, it'll be fine. Just leave it. Yeah, but I could get a free, a free, like, repair,
Starting point is 00:52:18 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.
Starting point is 00:52:53 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
Starting point is 00:53:05 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
Starting point is 00:53:11 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
Starting point is 00:53:23 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
Starting point is 00:53:33 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
Starting point is 00:53:46 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
Starting point is 00:53:55 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.
Starting point is 00:54:28 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.
Starting point is 00:54:42 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.
Starting point is 00:54:55 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
Starting point is 00:55:08 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
Starting point is 00:55:19 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
Starting point is 00:55:29 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
Starting point is 00:55:41 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
Starting point is 00:55:51 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
Starting point is 00:56:05 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
Starting point is 00:56:16 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
Starting point is 00:56:29 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
Starting point is 00:56:46 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.
Starting point is 00:57:06 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
Starting point is 00:57:24 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
Starting point is 00:57:40 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
Starting point is 00:57:59 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...
Starting point is 00:58:15 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
Starting point is 00:58:32 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
Starting point is 00:58:47 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
Starting point is 00:58:59 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
Starting point is 00:59:07 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
Starting point is 00:59:16 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.
Starting point is 00:59:32 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.
Starting point is 00:59:44 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.
Starting point is 01:00:02 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
Starting point is 01:00:38 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.
Starting point is 01:01:15 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.
Starting point is 01:01:53 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.
Starting point is 01:02:23 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.
Starting point is 01:02:44 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
Starting point is 01:03:09 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
Starting point is 01:03:52 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
Starting point is 01:04:17 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.
Starting point is 01:04:40 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
Starting point is 01:04:52 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
Starting point is 01:05:03 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
Starting point is 01:05:13 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
Starting point is 01:05:40 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
Starting point is 01:05:59 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.
Starting point is 01:06:14 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
Starting point is 01:07:25 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
Starting point is 01:07:48 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
Starting point is 01:07:58 Trailer and stuff Yeah I think there was a question saying Like Thoughts on Eldring Trailer poop Because we did Yeah
Starting point is 01:08:07 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.
Starting point is 01:08:20 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.
Starting point is 01:08:39 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.
Starting point is 01:08:57 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
Starting point is 01:09:15 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
Starting point is 01:09:30 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?
Starting point is 01:09:49 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
Starting point is 01:10:12 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
Starting point is 01:10:33 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
Starting point is 01:10:48 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
Starting point is 01:11:02 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
Starting point is 01:11:14 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
Starting point is 01:11:28 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
Starting point is 01:11:43 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
Starting point is 01:11:58 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
Starting point is 01:12:12 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
Starting point is 01:12:26 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
Starting point is 01:12:52 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
Starting point is 01:13:16 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
Starting point is 01:13:27 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
Starting point is 01:13:43 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
Starting point is 01:13:59 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

It's slop. It's just porridge. It's just like grey. It's grey.
Starting point is 01:15:40 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?
