Starting point is 00:02:50 Angry Joe... Love's beans. Loves beans. Rubin's favorite episode. I wasn't on it, but... And someone on Twitter, tagged angry Joe in a tweet saying I love the jarcast it's my favorite part of Mondays or something like that um with like a screenshot of the thumbnail and the real angry Joe replied in all
Starting point is 00:03:15 of his anger in all of his anger to John mode we did have a lot of anger mm-hmm and embrace yourselves for what what he replied to to us saying he says I actually hate beans. The only exception would be Arros con grand duels pigeon peas that my grandma slash grandpa used to make. Full stop.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Passive aggressive, full stop. Very passive aggressive and the jar media account replied, this will not slide Joe you were the one week account on and then he didn't respond. I like how you say the jar media account when it was very clearly he's always Alex. No. Yeah. I would say about I'm
Starting point is 00:03:59 15% James is 30% and the rest is Rubin normally I don't even have access to the account Stop picking bad treats on it Yeah Alex does use it I'm the only one that actually doesn't have access to it I don't have access to it
Starting point is 00:04:13 I thought you do I've never had access to it You got YouTube and like Jamie and James can't have it because you'll post cringe No The way it is right now is the way it has to be You can't know
Starting point is 00:04:25 The biggest cringe post is Alex It's not true I'm the one that stays the most consistent with jar media's values the worst Alex's job media mean Jamie don't exist on it so I'm not I hardly tweet anything on it well so I'm saying that's why I think it's current setup is is how it should be as soon if James got in it would just be bedlam no forget about it I wouldn't even post I just like tweets oh he just like loads of bullshit like Arkelect I would indeed just like the fucking Mimi Arcollect anyway I'm back James is I don't
Starting point is 00:04:58 care about what they're saying I'm back for a few episodes back for Christmas since it is the festivities and this episode will be up on none other than the Eve before Christmas well will it be on Christmas Eve surely it's the Eve of Christmas would you shut the fuck
Starting point is 00:05:16 basically two days what from tomorrow not for them no not for them it's right now we record in advance so for them it's like two days from now What day is it today? It's Saturday, right? But this is irrelevant to listeners slash viewers.
Starting point is 00:05:35 In real life, it's Monday. I'm not in real life. In real life, right now, it's Monday. I don't want to live in real life. I've just got home and I've taken a big poo-poo. Miss James is Christmas Eve in a beautifully wrapped nutshell. So yeah, anyway. should we um i know you want you wanted to
Starting point is 00:05:59 oh my microphone sorry you wanted to at least some point while you're back talk about uni but should we save that for another app for not today this is an episode on the eve you can start yeah another one next week or something because we do actually have a topic for this one so it's not going to be a total close to fuck the entire time it's list day today list day at the end of the year because that's the end of the year obligatory lists of the things that we consumed in 2018 the year of our We'll summarize our favorite
Starting point is 00:06:26 and we can mention some of our least favorite. Movies, games, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, I suppose, I suppose. I suppose. Okay. So, where are we going to begin then? Start with James because he's got nothing to say.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Top five albums, James. Movies. I saw Infinity War, fantastic. I saw Guardians of Galaxy One, fantastic, and the film I hated the most is fucking Madagascar one. Absolutely atrocious. That's 2018.
Starting point is 00:06:55 That's 2018 in movies. Done right there. Games, you've got the Spider-Man game, probably the best game I've ever seen. A game you've never played. God of the War. I've seen it. God of God of War.
Starting point is 00:07:04 A game you've never played. Worst game is probably Red Dead Redemption 2. Third best is probably Super Smash Bros. Then you've got Foress Risen, 4. And you've got Rainbow 6, Siege. James is out here with those hard truths. In music, you've got the worst sound... Music from this whole year is the Tarzan soundtrack,
Starting point is 00:07:23 especially the German one that's really bad Sawine man 9 inch Nels yeah they're not that good either big hate of them I really like BTS BTS this year
Starting point is 00:07:36 were incredible they were great Beyonce who's they're a K-pop group I think and Ariana Grande that's my best music of the year all right so that's James at the way
Starting point is 00:07:46 James's crushing it this year Jim have you got anything prepared yet did you prepare any lists on your phone and everything. There's quite a lot of overlap, I think, between us three. Listen to me. Not me. You're not just, you're not listening to the time. I mean, it was all. Anything I tried to listen to from this year was like, yeah. And then, and then Jack White fucking rollerblades in. So we're starting with music then. Yeah, I am. Okay. Jack White.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Just keep it on music then until we're done with that. Yeah, yeah. Jack White rollerblades in in a white suit. Blue suit. No, white suit. When it swipes off the screen and back in, then he's in a different... No, it doesn't... He rollerblades in and there's a waterfall made of blue paint. And he comes out and makes the music video for Colors by Beck. So, you liked Beck? No, I like Jack White.
Starting point is 00:08:44 That album... What's the name of the album? Boarding House Reach by Jack White is the only album from this year that I have... listened to and was like oh damn son oh damn son it oh damn so when um you know spotify did it you know um Spotify did this roundup of the year yeah they do it every year yeah they sort of summarize your listen time it's like your favorite is this just everything was that album um according to that according to me i'm 100% not listening i'm 100% listening i'm 100% to non-mainstream artist.
Starting point is 00:09:24 And that's an average. So I'm a hundred times more hipster than an average Spotify user apparently. Yeah. That doesn't surprise me in the slightest. He listens to just Japanese jazz playlists a lot. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Yeah. Yeah. That's why doesn't surprise me one bit. Other than that, I'm done for music. Whatever you say, I don't give a shit because what I believe is what matters. I think out of all four of us, Rubin's the only one who listens to contemporary albums a lot more.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I just have a group that I go to if they release something new. But otherwise, I don't really... If Phil Collins release something. Yeah, Phil Collins, I would. People who are actually talented, but rappers are so shit. And they constantly release music because it takes five minutes to write and make. So there are five million rap albums a year, which are all are bad. Hey, Astro World
Starting point is 00:10:23 That was really good That was an inflammatory comment That was coming out with these truths I think It's just targeting me here I am Well good because we even like Swap and that makes him
Starting point is 00:10:31 The worst music tape You're saying that you don't like blacks Yep Yeah James is racist Second time in a row James has been racist on the cast Second time in a row He was racist last
Starting point is 00:10:41 No it's been 145 times in a row Yeah But it's not I'm not I only do it because You lined it up If you line up ball on the flung, probably gonna kick it.
Starting point is 00:10:53 You know, you lined it up, I take, I shoot the trigger, okay? I fucking pull that. James goes where others are scared to go. If people were gonna take You're just edgy? No. You're just edgy? No, I'm not edgy. I'm the nicest member of Jha.
Starting point is 00:11:09 You're... Straight out of the lame facts. What do you say? He said he's the nicest member of Jua. Yeah? Who is the nicest member of Jua? We're making a last minute amendment to my list, by the way. Actually, who is the nicest?
Starting point is 00:11:22 Yeah, I'm asking. Who is the nicest member of Jail? Well, I don't attack South Africans on Wimbo 60's voice chat, so. He was being an insult. Because you physically can't. The nicest is me. Okay. Definitely not true.
Starting point is 00:11:42 The nicest is the, uh, soin, uh, soin, uh, soin man. Hmm. We're all so, soin, we're all just slow for Jim on that one. Soink. Huh? okay so obviously the best the best song of the year is lift yourself by Kanye West definitely speaking of rappers that's the one good rap song of the year yeah credible song genuinely in my in my top 100 most played I hate all of you mine was it was in my
Starting point is 00:12:06 top 100 it was genuinely in there and I will stick by that song I actually like that song it's funny but I'm laughing with it not at it which is rare for Kanye normally when I bring him up, I'm laughing at him. There was a last minute change to the number five spot on my list. You can't lift yourself on the way. I can't decide what I preferred out of. I have no ranking whatsoever because... We're going to look like absolute retards if RTJ comes out at the end of the year.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Because then it's this year. No, they won't. It's set for 2019, don't worry. I know it is. No, you didn't. Anyway. One of those two members is white, so I'm allowed to listen to it legally. So that's okay.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Wait, it's not legal to listen. But you're allowed to listen to Kanye? He's like a white guy trapped in a black guy's body. Trapped on a white guy, trapped in a black guy. He's just so many people inside other people's bodies, and it's so confusing. He has no idea who he is. He is Kanye. Yeah, 2018 was the year I kind of went back a bit and went delve deeper into artists I was a bit familiar with, but made myself more familiar.
Starting point is 00:13:19 I think, to enjoy music, you kind of have to do that. You just go, like, there's never been a year where it's, I haven't done that. You always go back and just find. Yeah, but there'll always be a year where it's like, right, that's the year where I go back and listen to all of blank's best stuff. Right. I do that every year. That's what I'm saying, Chase. There has to be one year where you do that.
Starting point is 00:13:41 I do that every year, though. There's got to be one artist each year. No, I do every artist each year. point is my shoutouts in terms of that stuff which is not contemporary at all from 2018 would be Talking Heads
Starting point is 00:13:55 went back and listened to all their classic albums Some of my faves Fleetwood Mac You're on this one Jim Rumors Fleetwood Mac Great album Awesome album Not modern by any means
Starting point is 00:14:09 But yeah And I rinsed the album Dialects by Snowmine This year That was on my Snow Patrol Sorry guys Big Snow Patrol fan here
Starting point is 00:14:21 Yeah My thing is like They're a bunch of artists From about 2013 To 2015 maybe That released like an album
Starting point is 00:14:33 That I really like But then they just vanish And never release anything ever again So I'm just trapped With one album that I like He's not a silly man Iron Man Um
Starting point is 00:14:45 I guess I can just list off some of that. I did listen to a few albums. No, it's five, Alex. I didn't have five, though. We'll have four. Because I listen to... I have three.
Starting point is 00:14:55 But no more than five. The albums I listen to that I actually enjoyed, right? Bad Witch, Nine Inch Nails. Is that on your top five? I guess we'll save it for when you... Yeah, I'm going to have a boy on my list, aren't I? Bad Witch, lift yourself by Kanye, not an album. But that is the best album of the year.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Just that song. The other one doesn't count. Um, lots of singles from Little Dragon release some really good singles, uh, Ian Brown, release some awesome singles. Kurt Koppi released an awesome singel. Um, Toro y-moi, release some singles I like. Toro mi-a, isn't it? It's probably it's more. What? Whatever. Doesn't it mean, um, monkey in, um, Italian or whatever? I don't know. I'm pretty sure of Spanish, not Italian. I actually really liked, um, Minecraft Guy's album.
Starting point is 00:15:46 C418 Yep Minecraft Got it written down Why did you save Minecraft Because no one else Is gonna know what he's called Who's listening
Starting point is 00:15:54 He's gonna say his name as well C418 excursions It's called that album Everyone knows C4 18 now Everybody everyone that's the Minecraft soundtrack Is C4 in Minecraft Is my question
Starting point is 00:16:02 C4 The explosive T and T is Yeah T and T is Well and judging how C4 is a plastic explosive Idiot boy That
Starting point is 00:16:14 Australian band parcels, released an album that I like. They're Australian? I thought they were French. Maybe they are. I thought they're Australian for some reason. I'm pretty sure they're French. I'm a Darth Punk's label.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Let me find out. They're from Paris. Are they? They're something of the wrong band. They do all the like funky disco stuff, don't they? Electro pop. Bunky disco. Monkey mimbo.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Yeah, they're from Australia. What? Wild. They were born there at least. They migrated to Berlin Oh So that'll be why They're part of that Those Australian artists
Starting point is 00:16:52 I like for some reason So A copy as well Um Roosevelt released another Roosevelt album Jim what did you think of that Mm-hmm

The backpack kid. Swish, swish, bish. What's that song called?
Starting point is 00:17:54 Swish, swish, bish, swish, swish. Any new listeners are going to be so confused by... 2017. By this. Fuck! No, it's fine, they'll understand. It's not confusing. What's confusing?
Starting point is 00:18:06 All I've said is just some awesome music you should check out. Go on, Rubin. Give us your... No, Alex, I'm not sure if he's done yet. I'm done. He just said... Oh, I listened to some David Bowie. albums as well but don't start playing with my socks again janey okay reuben i actually have a list that i've been preparing for yours is actually in order it's going five to one we're going for my worst

Can you do it? Joy as an act of resistance by idols. Okay. Never heard of them.

Starting point is 00:19:53 Nice What are the mediums of Is anything even coming out Apart from RTJ That you can think of right now In terms of music, 2019 Can't do my Remit to have something
Starting point is 00:20:04 Really? Yeah Well if it's as atrocious as damn I'm not going to be even listening to it Yeah 100% of Alex on that one oh damn damn no no yeah i don't fucking know music is for god damn children that want to have some sort of identity when they've got nothing else you say what's your identity then you little fucking baby yeah okay hopefully we're gonna fart no i mean oh jim farts on the mic he he would say guys and then just go
Starting point is 00:20:40 Guys, guys, and we'll just hear like... And then just... Or something like that. That's not fucking even slightly true. He does. You can do it on... Oh! You dumb idiot. Um, so... Should we do movies now?
Starting point is 00:20:54 Yeah. I haven't seen that many movies. Yeah, you've already said yours. You already did it all your notes. You've seen three films this year. I did mean, though. But I've only seen two films, technically. Have you only watched two movies this whole year?
Starting point is 00:21:05 New, brand new movies? Well, Guardians of Galaxy One didn't come out this year. Both. I saw... Infinity will You saw Mission Impossible this year That's true yeah Okay that's definitely number on the bottom Mm-hmm
Starting point is 00:21:17 Because the motorbike scene Fucking atrocious James is such an idiot James is critical understanding It's just like No that movie is great E Not at all
Starting point is 00:21:30 That movie is The controller at his head Oh my god I would have caught it out of the air anyway Okay Don't throw it though Because I just break the remote with a wall or something.
Starting point is 00:21:42 So far on my letterbox list, I have 40 films. Can we just talk about the worst film of the year? We can start there if you want. These are all from this year, right? Go up a little bit? Yes, they're all from this year. There it is. There it is. Worst film of the year, Deadpool 2.
Starting point is 00:21:57 That film is fucking dog shit. I agree with Jim on this time. You haven't seen it. I've seen Deadpool 2 on my list out of the 40... The 40 films I've seen, Deadpool 2 on my list, out of the 40... The 40 films I've seen, Deadpool 2, is at 23. So right in the middle. It doesn't belong in the...
Starting point is 00:22:15 I think it belongs... Jim, it's not worse than the films... It belongs alongside the Meg. It's right next to the Meg on my fucking list. The Meg actually seemed funny. Deadpool just seems... I... This is the fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:22:28 During the Meg, the Jason Statham Megalodon film, I laughed more times than in Deadpool. So did I. A... I I we saw it together yeah could you remember when I laughed or how many times I can't remember I laughed at least well at least twice which is more than Deadpool two where I laugh at the Meg no I meant in Deadpool two how many times did do you remember me laughing because I can barely remember the movie I remember you laughing once
Starting point is 00:22:59 when Deadpool stands up on his baby legs I just thought that bit looks so bad I was like, when did a... I like absurd stuff like that. Right, it was last year. Okay. Yeah. That's what I just wanted to know that.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Deple two's not the worst film of the year, though. It's better than that. It's probably the most mediocre film of the year. Yeah. Yeah. Which makes it the worst film of the year. Yeah. It does bother me when mediocrity is praised, like, the amount Depple 2 is.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Trust me, in 10 years time, in 10 years time when people go back to Deppel and Depple 2, they're going to be not only embarrassing but they're going to be a... Because if you like those movies now you're basically lying to yourself. This is funny.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Some people just have a different sense of humor, you know? Some people are fucking morons. Okay. Some people... If you like Deadpool 2, then... Just... fucking... I remember thinking...
Starting point is 00:23:58 I'd look at your life. I remember thinking, oh, it's... So the first one is way better. But then I've re-watched that one. I was like, Christ. Deple one is... god damn atrocious i gave them both a three yeah and you're wrong you gave you're objectively yeah that's generous two and a half uh you gave double so five yeah we find deadpool
Starting point is 00:24:18 surely you got it up there i've only got deple one on this double two you gave deadpool you get deadpool a one me yeah okay i gave that three because i rewatched it that's right yeah i rewatched it that's right yeah i rewatch it after watching deadpool two because it was on netflix i just tried to rewatch it and i was embarrassed i was actually embarrassed watching that film this this is embarrassing yeah and looking casting my mind back to Deadpool 2 it's like it's exactly the same well I'm gonna it's as long as article 13 doesn't ruin everything on YouTube I'll rewatch Depple 2 and talk about it in the superior video I hate that movie we did see I think a worse cut of it though as well I saw a I saw
Starting point is 00:24:59 because there are two different cuts where like most of the jokes are different on the that's one I watch so when I you were like I thought it was totally unfunny. And I watched, I was like, oh, there were moments. And I was funny. I laughed at that. And I watched that cut, the long one or whatever, with more jokes. My issue with Deadpool is that, like, it doesn't, it's kind of like Madagascar on a weird way.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Being real for a minute. As much as I fucking love Madagascar. The good bits about Madagascar when it is absurd and basically has no rules, but it bogs it down when it tries to have that sort of emotional core, which doesn't work at all. and Deadpool is the same thing. I was thinking it's like the films don't even understand the source material or something because from my understanding of the source material
Starting point is 00:25:42 is Deadpool's just a cunt all the time, whatever. Doesn't go to fuck about anything or anyone and that's it. But in the movies there has to be a love interest for Ryan Reynolds to be sexy with. Every scene where he takes off the mask and he's just like a different character. I'm not watching him for his
Starting point is 00:26:01 emotional connections with people. I watch him for his violin. And being a dick. Thing in Deadpool 2 where he's like in his head or whatever or something. He's trying to get to his dead wife or whatever. Yeah. He's not really shit, all those bits. That's what I mean.
Starting point is 00:26:17 It's probably out of fear because they'd have to be so creative to make such a sort of detached character like that work. So they try and anchor him in a story based around, you know, the most obvious shit, the most formulaic shit that the film makes fun of another genre doing. but they do the same thing that they're making fun of anyway. And do it worse in a lot of ways. Anyway, don't want to keep too much, fucking movie. Another terrible dog shit. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:26:44 Movie. Venom. Oof. I think Jim and I are the only ones who saw that. Another one that... A film I enjoyed more than Deadpool 2, so I'm pretty sure it was shorter. No fucking way. Venom is so much worse than Deadpool 2. Jim's just got an axe to fucking... What is it, an axe to grind? Is that the phrase?
Starting point is 00:27:00 Yeah. At my head, I was like, is it that? Jim's got an axe to grind. There's no fucking way. No, Venom... Jim will ignore all... He'll deny himself. He'll deny himself enjoyment to hate Deadpool too. No, I don't...
Starting point is 00:27:12 I didn't even find his movies. That's why I hate when... When everyone's enjoying this thing, and I'm like, how? I want to be... I want to enjoy this, but it's... It just sucks. Differences, I can understand why people enjoy... He doesn't enjoy anything.
Starting point is 00:27:27 I can't understand why people enjoyed Venom. His favorite album is Boring House Reach. Venom is funny because of how bad it is No, it's not It's insulting It's actually insulting to your fucking intelligence that movie I regret paying money to see it I saw a delete
Starting point is 00:27:47 It's not it's not better than Deadpool That was an exaggeration He's in a taxi And he's like talking to himself And he's like maybe if you stop being a dick I'm an alien and I'm gonna give you my alien knowledge The humour is so bad And I was just like
Starting point is 00:28:00 I'm pretty sure what we want to see it at the cinema though people were just laughing people were laughing with it the whole time and I heard people after it finished being like that was actually really good really clever people said the same thing but what about Aquaman yeah I didn't Aquaman was genuinely funny though I think Aquaman is the best DC universe movie to come out whatever what man of steel it's better than man of stuyl what did you give acriman i don't know you gave it too i think so what did you give manor still lower than that i don't know i i don't know i i've not seen acriman but like i think manna still is a pretty all right well-made film you know
Starting point is 00:28:46 looking better back at it it ain't got hot aquaman got more heart yeah but man of steel is better than aquaman but aquaman's funnier How come out of funnier, but it's also more impressive. Do you see, like, I've just sort of forgotten how to make films? They just don't know how to make a film. They give their movie rights to the weirdest actors. Hang on, we'll come back after these messages and continue these Angry Joe rants. So anyway, yes.
Starting point is 00:29:21 For reference, out of my 40 films, Venom is number 36. So one of my... We're meant to be doing in the top five. Yeah, but we're summarising the year. Dad, right? I know much more about, like, movies and games that came out this year than I do music. Yeah. Yeah, same.
Starting point is 00:29:37 So I can talk about it more. Yeah. My, you've actually seen one of my lowest films, show dogs. Show dogs came out this year. Yeah, man. That's why I wanted to, that's why I wanted to make a video on it because it's so, it seems so dated. Skyscraper. Oh, I've got a special place in my heart from skyscraper.
Starting point is 00:29:56 We did see that this film. Yeah, that's true. Fuck. yeah so long ago that's my number 37 out 40 worst film this year it was funny though but it'll refer to my letterbox because I was funny what I watched again I watched solo didn't I as well this year solo is the award for the most mediocre movie of the year probably yeah that I know that movie kind of pisses me off pisses you off it's got some awful awful writing that the only it's it sucks that when I think of that
Starting point is 00:30:29 movie, the only thing that pops into my head is that how he got his name thing. I hate that line so much. You're alone? Well, you could be a solo. I think that's, that is one of the worst, like, I hate that scene. The one that sticks in my head immediately is, um, Chilbaka, gonna have to shorten that down a little.
Starting point is 00:30:47 How about, um, chili? Yeah. It's just, I think the solo one is worse than that one, but. Yeah, no, it is worse, but it's still like, just unnecessary. Totally. It's like, why don't you just have the characters start just saying it After they've been together for a while
Starting point is 00:31:03 Yeah That's what people normally do It's like, oh, your name's Jamie, right? And there wasn't a day where I came up to you and was like Huh, Jamie's a bit of a mouthful I'm gonna start calling you Jim It's the same shit, it's so dumb
Starting point is 00:31:17 On the other hand Ruben has a backstory for why he's called Teddy now Because that was like a stop moment Ruben's kind of a mouthful I'm going to call him Teddy It's the same amount I just said a group chat one day and it was just We're calling me Teddy now
Starting point is 00:31:33 What? Why? The reason it stuck is because you were so anti it The reason it stuck is because when I say When I'm talking to Ruben on Video Games I want to call him Ruben Roosevelt Teddy Roosevelt Oh
Starting point is 00:31:49 So it's actually a big compliment really Yeah He was a bad president though wasn't he? No? None of us have the education necessary to answer that Okay, okay Here's a film that I watched this year
Starting point is 00:32:04 You know that this isn't a top five Because it's been dead for We're just doing ones We never established that it was even top five Ruben's the only one who's done a top five Because I just assumed we'll be top five This always is, you know We're discussing
Starting point is 00:32:15 All right, we ain't conventional We're more of a nostalgicistic We're on the subject to films That we kind of have problems with I don't like the moment And we didn't talk enough about solo But I want to just toss the incredible too into this mixture because I am not have you seen it yeah I'm not into it I thought there
Starting point is 00:32:30 were loads of bits that were really boring reach the same ground I haven't seen it but I've heard it's like kind of a pointless pointless but there are some funny bits there are some funny bits it's mostly when Mr. Incredible is being a dad and he's just tired all the time and he's good there's just I got problems with man I thought it was boring it was fine and I get really fed up with the whole mind control oh baddies they're They don't know what they're doing. White plot. To me it was kind of like the
Starting point is 00:32:59 Monsters University to Monsters Inc. thing where it's like one's an inspired idea and the other's just like, well, got to make a sequel. Let's just kind of do something. Yeah. And there was, I didn't get the whole, oh, does baby Jack Jack have powers?
Starting point is 00:33:15 It's established at the end of the first one that he has powers. But for some reason, they're not aware. They didn't see it though? Didn't they? No. Because it's as syndrome stealing him, then his powers activate when he's in the air.
Starting point is 00:33:25 with syndrome's holding him and then the powers activate and he falls down as a normal baby so none of them see it well it just took a whole I think the biggest mistake
Starting point is 00:33:36 it that film took was continuing directly after the first film instead of doing a time jump to where all the characters are in a different place because it's like it's that problem
Starting point is 00:33:48 where the main characters already had his arc so what do you do with him now yeah and the villain from the beginning was just like The villain's the worst part of the movie, for sure.
Starting point is 00:33:57 It's fucking obvious. Yeah, way too obvious. They could have just made the villain not like something obvious. I don't want to reveal it because people want to watch it still. Yeah. I thought it was, like, as far as superhero movies go, it was above average, though. Yeah. Like, I was trying to think about it in terms of, like, as a superhero movie,
Starting point is 00:34:17 is this better than anything Marvel or DC is putting out, and it is sort of better than a lot of them? like you didn't see the newest ant man that was actually difficult to sit through that film I can't sit through the first one the second one's even worse we I left during the first
Starting point is 00:34:36 outman I think we started watching it and I just left years ago I just left I did as well we were watching it in Alex's room I arrived in it and I was just late I've tried watching it twice and it is the first Ant man is great compared to Ant Man 2 it's that but it's actually
Starting point is 00:34:53 Ant Man 2 is really low on my list. I thought it was a really bad film. Final shout-outs for bad movies. That new Predator movie, it pissed me off so much. I thought it sucked. And Ready Player 1. I can't not mention it.
Starting point is 00:35:11 I can't not mention that film. The film sucks. That's a movie I'd throw in with Deadpool 2. It's worse than Deadpool 2. Jesus. I have them on the same line. Here's my thing. Things happen in Deadpool.
Starting point is 00:35:22 jokes happen? Ready Player 1 Deadpool 2 Things happen in a bad way It's just oh stuff Ready Player 1 pisses me off so much Because I know how competent the director is As well But the material is so bad
Starting point is 00:35:38 The story I don't know if you guys have ever read anything Or like excerpts from the You can find excerpts from the original book And holy fuck some of them are so embarrassing Some of the things that happen in that story but awful film cringy to be honest
Starting point is 00:35:57 yeah super cringy but halo Spartans in it gotta give it a 5 at 5 ugly Spartans is the problem shit spartans shit new Spartans got to give it a 7 out of 5 gotta give it a 1 out of 20 gotta keep touch inside my head
Starting point is 00:36:11 and other other hyper mediocre movie Black Panther that came out this year yeah yeah what fuck I thought it was 2017 oh well I hate Black Panther just before um Infinity War was It was like a month or two before. It's mediocre, boring. So that's the mediocre.
Starting point is 00:36:26 See, I don't hate that movie. I think it's boring. I think it's got bad effects. It's that thing, but it's like what you just said about Deadpool, where it's like, why has everyone loved this so much? Yeah. But with that, I can actually understand it. I've got major issues with Black Panther because it's got bad cinematography.
Starting point is 00:36:44 It's an ugly, ugly film. I just really badly said it. I remember when we saw it at the cinema, I was like, there was one shot I liked in the whole film. For a film that it was just, just mostly CG nonsense anyway,
Starting point is 00:36:54 that's really bad. And you just couldn't see anything in this one action sequence right at the start where you like jumps in as if it's like fucking metal gets sod
Starting point is 00:37:02 Oh, that sucked. I was wondering, I was thinking about that scene the other day and why I don't think it works at all where he jumps off
Starting point is 00:37:09 the helicopter thing or whatever it is. It's too fucking dark. I've got a problem with that. And it's that dissonance you have where the camera
Starting point is 00:37:18 movements are linked to like a something a camera could never do for a start to a, a CG character who just can do whatever he fucking wants in the world
Starting point is 00:37:26 it's not grounded by anything if it was like a wide shot from really far away and you could see him sort of epically falling out of a helicopter or any other way or the way like in Mission Impossible where it's very clearly someone holding a camera following Tom Cruise as he falls so your brain is like
Starting point is 00:37:46 oh that something about that kind of is real to me I can understand why that works but in Black Panther the whole time I don't know if the director's just not very familiar with how to integrate sort of visual effects into a movie but the whole film is like that it's got that atrocious scene at the end
Starting point is 00:38:05 I don't think you even got to it I didn't get to the end I sort of gave up around what are those around that was the last scene I watched and I just couldn't do it anymore I didn't I was very bored when watching that one in the cinema I got a prompt that I remember specifically
Starting point is 00:38:19 with the what are those scene everything is all the set design is really shit it looks really shit because people are praising that's a big problem it looks really cheap and it's that clash where it's like for the design of that world to work
Starting point is 00:38:38 it would have to have a really strong sort of colour palette and style to it but everything's lit back but it has to yeah it has to fit into that Marvel movie you know all that to be shot with the same type of camera is and look the same way and there's that it's just off with how wacky that universe is do you find it kind of annoying that like these african dudes way early on got like super high-tech stuff and the weapons and stuff they design are shields or like bugs and stuff their vehicles are
Starting point is 00:39:10 like yeah but like their weapons are like swords and spears like if they were progressing past us, they'd be using guns and, like, have leaks and shit. It's just fucking stupid. Yeah, it's just comic, but dumb, dumb. But imagine, like, if that film was presented in a, in a flashy way, like, into the Spider-verse, that universe
Starting point is 00:39:33 could actually be interesting. I think that's one of the biggest issues was how it looks. From the bad movies, we can go over to the good movies. No, I'm not done yet. I've got one more things about Black Panther. But Alex just brought up into the Spider-No, hang on. Because I've got to say about that, the what are those things, and everything is really, lit really badly.
Starting point is 00:39:49 everything looks really flat and nothing really just oh okay everything's just sort of a flat sheet of nothing and the editing sucks I noticed some really weird cuts where I was like why did you cut there
Starting point is 00:40:02 that took a bit too long and it was just cutting to like the same angle they just go from like here to there or here to here but that really unimpressive fake oneer that they do in that sort of like casino that was embarrassing
Starting point is 00:40:14 I didn't see this the CG I couldn't know I thought that film was just so bad that's like a third into the movie I couldn't I just fucking hate it I think I watched half an hour Give up I thought it was fine
Starting point is 00:40:25 Anyway Spiderverse you wanted to bring up Yeah let's go into the good now We've just you know It's just incompetent Might be my favourite movie of the year Into the Spider-Man Yeah into Spider-Man
Starting point is 00:40:38 I'm currently my number five It looks So damn good Mm-hmm It's one of the best animated movies Like visually ever the plot is heartwarming and fucking cool spider-man had a bump a year that's for sure an incredible year um all the actors were fucking really good the only downside was the occasional
Starting point is 00:41:08 bit of music they used but other than that it was like hey sunfire is a great song there's another one that's yeah there's once you see it you'll understand a bunch of songs in the movie but I enjoyed the film so much I almost Abe Simpson exploded my bladder so I could sit through it at the cinema yeah that was one where the crowd was loving it
Starting point is 00:41:35 and enjoying it and I was there with them enjoying it as well it's so goddamn charming yet it plays your heartstrings like a banjo god damn that's the exact thing I feel whenever I watch Tokyo Drift
Starting point is 00:41:53 I watched I watched die hard in the cinema original I'm jealous yeah five watched the first die hard film it was fucking awesome
Starting point is 00:42:02 it was fucking awesome that movie is incredible just time for Crimbo I actually do have a list of five films go through yours I can just tear through it because you don't have a list I do have a list but I suppose you do
Starting point is 00:42:16 but I made a list. I'll go from five to one. I didn't watch as many films this year as I should, so he was kind of scraping it together. Number five, Mandy. Mm-hmm. Number four, Infinity War. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Number two was... Wait, number three, upgrade. Mm-hmm. Number two was Mission Impossible Fallout. Number one? Howdy? It was about a Buster Scruggs. The Battle of Buster Scrugs
Starting point is 00:42:44 is my number one as well at moment. Very, very good Boy But They're awesome at writing I watched I watched for the first time Just a few days ago
Starting point is 00:42:57 Isn't you gonna say burn after reading Burn after reading Because I saw them I'd never seen it I'd never seen it It's awesome isn't it Fucking hell it's so good Yeah
Starting point is 00:43:05 And then I watched the Big Lobowski A couple hours later Oh did you It's like their writing capabilities Are Every time I watch the Big Lobowski I spot something new It's awesome
Starting point is 00:43:16 It was amazing watching a Kern Brothers, like a conventional movie, because Ballad of Buster Scruggs is not conventional movie by any means. No. But just watching their movie start to finish, it's an odyssey. It's a joyous, yeah. So fucking good. And The Ballad of Bust of Scruggs is no different. Fucking great movie.
Starting point is 00:43:42 And of course, coming off the back of Red Dead, too, it was like, nice. just what I wanted because they all felt like Red Dead like characters and side quests or something yeah that was great any other honorable mentions of movies I saw a bunch
Starting point is 00:44:00 I'd like to say Mission Impossible seeing that at the cinema was such an experience yeah seeing that film at the cinema was my favorite experience of of the year that and die hard are like Because, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:16 diehard came out. You know, it's like diehard of now. Just fucking ridiculous. I haven't seen a movie in the cinema that's given me this sort of adrenaline.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Yeah. Shot like any other. It's a once in a lifetime experience. James keeps fucking looking at me. When that skydiving scene with the music going and it's just like you're, it feels like you're falling.
Starting point is 00:44:40 It's fucking... Yeah, it's definitely meant, that's how it's meant to be seen. For sure. I think it's an, action movie masterpiece you haven't seen um take a driftfully then anyway it's at a great time if we're just talking about experiences in the in the cinema um the Avengers was awesome there's like a palpable atmosphere in the room the guy with my
Starting point is 00:45:06 my friend I was sat with I saw it and I've got enough to have someone behind him this girl who was obviously like just a fucking moron it was like oh no responding to the film kicking his chair like whenever anything would happen kicking his fucking chair it's got an eye I didn't even notice
Starting point is 00:45:23 my be as excited as you want but you don't have to you know externalise it like that in the same way yeah I thought it was pretty uh pretty lame of her doing that
Starting point is 00:45:31 yeah you mixed up the genders though you said hey he was kicking his chair well my friend he was so next to me and she was kicking his chair okay now
Starting point is 00:45:45 make sense. Now the viewers know what is actually went on that day. The girl in the cinema was kicking my friend's chair when we were trying to enjoy Marvel's Avengers Infinity War. Annihilation That film's great. Seen it three times I think. Really?
Starting point is 00:46:02 I forgot that that was this year. Yeah. Because it was so early on February. I also think the fact that it was released on Netflix My list has changed. You stop thinking that it's even new. Yeah. It does it a service? Probably does, yeah. I reckon that would be a great
Starting point is 00:46:19 film to see in the cinema. It would with that soundtrack and crazy visuals. Now, it's Annihilation 3 upgrade 5. Avengers stays the same. There we go. What was in your 5 spot before?
Starting point is 00:46:35 Mandy. Mandy's now an honorable mention. Not that we're doing top 5s, but it just helps me. I made a list of 5 things and was there we go. for each thing. We've got to move on to games soon. We've only got long until we hit...
Starting point is 00:46:49 Let's just quickly shout out because I've seen it on Alex's screen here. I love dogs. Yeah, I love dogs is one of my faves. Do you say you love dogs? I love that place in London. Nice place in London, actually. That movie's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:47:04 That movie's funny. Soundtracks awesome. The animated puppies in the movie almost made me cry because of how great they are. And the pug? The Tilda Swinton Pug is amazing. Yeah. The character design.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Animation, amazing. The animation is... What is that? Is that some kind of code? You're saying you don't like black people or something? I would never say such a thing. Ask James if he would. Sorry, I'm not a racist.
Starting point is 00:47:40 You should see first man, Rubin. I feel like that's a movie for you. yeah all the space son of man son of first man in yeah yeah I thought about going to the cinema to see it I remember I don't know why I didn't
Starting point is 00:47:56 I don't know why yeah that's in that's currently in my top ten I still have a bunch of films I haven't seen yet I still got a catch up on Charmed you returns to Marvel is this the episode of this First Man wasn't true you don't get it
Starting point is 00:48:10 Anyway I think those are the main ones I want to mention for now Hereditary I really liked as well And first reformed There's any in my one night I'm good You liked to upgrade didn't you
Starting point is 00:48:27 Yeah yeah I did That was a very fun as well Yeah There's one scene in the whole movie That kind of bogs it down And that's like the bathroom scene Where he turns into Deadpool for like three seconds then it's back to normal.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Oh yeah, that was weird. It's really strange. Yeah, I forgot about it. Just like Mission Impossible way, it falls off a motorcycle, and most across the floor for about five miles. What? James is a dumb, dumb.
Starting point is 00:48:57 He has a dumb, okay. This fucking, this fucking dude likes Tokyo drift. I like it because it's got a Mouss RX-7 in. It sucks so hard, man. I know it's a bad movie. Did you talk about video games?
Starting point is 00:49:08 Yeah, I was going to say. What's the best game of the year, guys? I think Jim. Spider-Man! No It's not Spider-Man It's not Spider-Man It's not God of War either
Starting point is 00:49:16 It's not God of War This is the debate It's between God of War and Reddard Reddard of Renation 2 There's arguments to be made for both Yeah I think The general consensus is
Starting point is 00:49:29 God of War I think It won IGN's game of the year It won the King Awards game of the year I think it's a much easier game To say that it's Perfect when it's not I mean even if you look at
Starting point is 00:49:46 it's not about the game of the year isn't about perfection though no well I mean compared to one another it's just an opinion thing yeah but it's hard to put into words I mean
Starting point is 00:50:02 God of war is much more conventional in the way it is impressive it's impressive because it's doing something we've seen before very well one of the most impressive things about it though is that it's got a good story and it isn't and it's a video game yeah it doesn't feel like that's the first fucking hurdle of video games
Starting point is 00:50:27 yeah story yeah i feel like both red dead and god of war yeah definitely what you're actually doing in the game actually compliments the story which is rare the thing with god of war is that it's much more consistent what do you mean what you're doing in the game because the game the god of war is always fun
Starting point is 00:50:47 to play that's why people like it so much yeah that's the do it's not about being fun though it's just like what you're doing is consistent it's easily accessible constantly yeah you're fighting
Starting point is 00:51:01 or you're exploring like just going to a place to get like do a little puzzle for a chest or you're watching a cutscene it's fairly linear expiration from what I've seen yeah it's like here's an airing just kind of know you kind of know what you're looking for yeah when you're there whereas red dead it's apart from the actual mission design of the campaign it's so open and I think that the most impressive thing Red Dead too does is it actually
Starting point is 00:51:33 manages to tell a good story in a fucking open world game people sucked breath of the wild dick right mm-hmm for being so open and then Red Dead's open. Breath of the Wild doesn't even have a story. That's the thing, I think. It's got really annoying systems in it. What I'm Red Dead too? Well, both have a little annoying things,
Starting point is 00:51:51 but I think Breath of the Wild is more annoying because of weapons breaking. We don't want to talk about that because that's 2017, but I'm just thinking about it because it's again, and it was like, about when it came out. I think the difference. I think even if God of War had come out that year,
Starting point is 00:52:03 the same year as Breath of the World, people would still have to spend, because it was Zelda. you're Zelda, she's good, mate I think the difference there is because Red Dead has that campaign where honestly the mission design isn't great
Starting point is 00:52:18 It's fine But yeah It's GTA 4 levels are fine But with actual checkpoints But think about this right Breath of the World doesn't even have like campaign But that's why people like it
Starting point is 00:52:31 I guess Because it's just like My issue with them I haven't played Breath of the World but I've seen a lot of it. It's like the stories, it does have cutscenes and it does have voice acting and it's so bad.
Starting point is 00:52:44 That's the worst. It would be better if it just wasn't in the game. And it was more, you know, take a step even further back. I just have, I take an issue with people not being treating games fairly. Just giving that game a pass
Starting point is 00:52:58 because it's that game. But no, Rockstar, when they do something, if they do something the people don't quite like, it's like Rockstar shit, what the fuck are they doing? GtA 5, that's a bad game. GtA 4's better. You can throw bricks in that game, so it's better.
Starting point is 00:53:13 That's a real argument. It's a real argument. The critiques of Red Dead... Wait, well, how is that tricked me? My only criticism is that people don't dislike Red Dead for the reasons they dislike Gtay 4, and then... Explain? No, people dislike Red Dead Red Dead Redemption 2 for the reasons they like GTA 4.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Yeah. Gt4 is like, here's all this fucking bullshit you've got to do. Yeah, you can pick up... Just like you said, you can pick up bricks, and apparently that means... means future rock star games are bad because you can't do this completely pointless but then Redid Redemption 2 has all these things in it you can do I've seen it didn't take away from the I've seen a lot of stuff online the whole criticism of GT4 is it was so realistic they focused on wisdom to a point where simple things was not fun that is
Starting point is 00:53:55 the same with Red Dead 2 hitting a tree with a car in J.J.4 fly off hitting a tree of a horse in Red Day 4 it's people love that in GTA 4 it's just ridiculous because like loads of people don't and there's an actual mechanic in in Red Dead to where if you understand how the game works then that will never happen to you ever Also horses are actually Easier to control than the cars in Gt-a-4 I just I do think it's interesting the people who say Gtta 4 is better than five but don't like Red Dead Renation 2 because it boring
Starting point is 00:54:27 That's the thing I I like the fact that Red Dead doesn't give a shit about how you want to play it in terms of like It's not instant gratification all the time and it's something like, no, look, you play our game by our rules and you'll be rewarded maybe if you enjoy it. Yeah, and if you like this kind of thing, then stick with it and you will have the most immersive experience
Starting point is 00:54:49 of any game can offer you. Because yesterday I was talking to my friends at the pub and one of them was, he just finished, he hadn't finished, Redemption 2, it turns out, he hadn't played the fucking prologue. He considers it, he considers what he did finish, he took a break and it was like,
Starting point is 00:55:04 I was like, you've got to play the prolog because that's the rest of the game. Yeah, it's quite literally not finished. Yeah, it's just not finished. But he was saying he started Assassin's Creed Odyssey and he was like, oh, it's so great, it's so good. No, it's just because the game is like you killed someone here, have some points and the controller vibrates and you level up and get a gold weapon now. It's not to like devalue that kind of fun. No, because that's fine.
Starting point is 00:55:31 I get it. Games provide you that kind of call it. I was thinking, I don't have anything against it because games provide you that kind of. thing rainbow six I headshot someone and that's like for like a second mm-hmm yeah fucking killed you the difference is you can have an odyssey there's there are countless of them every year yeah spider-man was the same it's like comfort food yeah it's not reinventing the wheel it's just nice spider-man just did it really well yeah yeah well mostly yeah um but red dead two is special it's you're not you don't
Starting point is 00:56:00 get games like that any fucking ever really we have with the last one we got was red dead one of that kind of that kind of quality and that kind of consistency I bet there were people that had problems of red dead one back in the day so it was boring yeah I remember people saying it was boring when I was a kid you know yeah because you you got it and then sold it didn't you yeah it was like I because you myself and my brother like went on it I didn't I I only put like a fiver in he spent more on it that was it we went and got it once like in argos right when it came out well it's weird because GTA has such that all-encompassing
Starting point is 00:56:39 It can really appeal to anyone Where Red Dead is inherently way more niche Because it's a Western But people expect it to be like GTA Because it's rock star and it's open world And then yeah I think it's okay as All the decisions they made for that game
Starting point is 00:56:53 Feed into Their design choice But like I I'm not to rag on them I'm using Fallout on the Elder Scrolls series, you know, the two things they have and they make them. I didn't like fallout for a long time. Didn't like it at all. I just didn't
Starting point is 00:57:12 care about playing Fallout. I mean, it doesn't help the Fallout 3 is a piece of shit and Fallen New Vegas is a piece of shit. It's Argy. Paulin Out New Vegas is Argy. Just beautiful but fucking shit. You know, Argy's beautiful? I think it's not shit.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Yeah, yeah. New Vegas is really ugly but has the things that underneath. It's the opposite of Argy then. Yeah. So, Yagi. I do have more I want to say, but I don't know. Well, I'd quite like to keep going.
Starting point is 00:57:49 I've got time. Well, honestly, I've been thinking about it a lot. I think... My plans have shifted, by the way. Nothing... No piece of media from 2018 has resonated the same way Red Dead has for me. No, I can play...
Starting point is 00:58:06 I'd never played in that game. I'd never played anything like it. It's honestly a Marvel to me, how they managed to achieve what they did with that game. It's like not really even playing a game by, you know, the understanding that we've had for forever. I described it in the video as being like playing a full season or like three seasons of a TV show with like the best writing. But with the production value of a movie and I can't remember the other bit I said, but. It's like combining... Infinite Mountain Dew and Doritos.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Yeah, yeah. It's combining all the best things of all these different settings and gameplay and all this and that. And gamer fuel. And the music and everything just comes together so well. I watched you play some a bit earlier. And I was just thinking like, wow, this is so well presented. It's ridiculous. It's just astonishing.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Just sitting back and watching somebody else play it instead of you doing it sometimes. I started just looking around at the horizon and shit because, you know, you can, the time with your eyes and I'm just looking at things like wow this is there is so much here there's so much going on
Starting point is 00:59:12 it's it is the best looking game of all time yeah for now yeah in terms of realistic graphics and things yeah you know without that
Starting point is 00:59:18 people would be like I like how Windweaker looks because I like the art style or something you know I just it's the it's the narrative
Starting point is 00:59:27 and characters that really do it for me yeah I haven't felt I haven't felt this way about a game since Mass Effect 2 really
Starting point is 00:59:34 yeah it's such fucking real people. And even then, the way Masswick 2 does characters is kind of, it's a little bit robotic. It's way more video gaming. Well, it's like, when I was playing it today, um, and you're watching, I just went into the camp
Starting point is 00:59:47 and two characters who I'd never seen interact before, just had a conversation. Yeah, the thing is, I'm doing my second play through as well and you just, there is so much in the game that even they, they don't expect you to see all of them. And they just know it. They don't mind.
Starting point is 01:00:02 But that's, yeah, that's not the point. It's, it's, it's so that everywhere you go and everything you look at doesn't draw away from any other bit it all feeds into this thing of immersion pretty much painting a perfect picture yeah a full picture because there's this thing um it's basically a whole side quest that I never came across in the game
Starting point is 01:00:27 and I don't know if you guys did but there's this like these pig farmers and uh they invite you in for dinner yeah I saw them and then they drug you yeah I did you did that yeah I just never saw that I knew what was oh I argue I'm sorry I continue I uh yeah at the moment I saw them I knew what was going to be going on I was like I and trust you but obviously you do it anyway yeah but then there's also the fact that you can leave like at any point or just not do it I I did it intentionally ignore it asleep yeah but what was straight and again and the
Starting point is 01:01:05 game after they drug you you know you could just not be able to find your way back to where it was I managed to because I I don't know I recognize something I left my horse over there so I ran towards my horse because there it is and then you burst in there like a spirit of vengeance with two double barrels because that's all
Starting point is 01:01:23 they had on me because of fucking blah it was great that was a real moment for me like that was fucking awesome the interesting about that one is a reference to real life a literal yeah they were the same type of thing Cereal killers. Like, a couple blue, like, did that shit in the cowboy. They're a weird brother and sister, aren't they?
Starting point is 01:01:39 Or something. Yeah, they're incestuous. Yeah. And that's like, the attention to detail in that game will never, ever be merged. It's fully voiced and everything. There's cutscenes that you'll never see if you don't happen to stop by that house. And it's just like that, that effort into the most minute details. Yeah, there are amazing stories.
Starting point is 01:02:00 It's unbelievable. You could just miss. But, yeah. You could just straight at the mess. For me, it's Arthur Morkin that holds it all together. Yeah. It's my favourite character from any video game. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Yeah, I think... Ever. He's up there with... He just feels like a person. Yeah. You never for a moment, like, think that you're playing a video game. He just exists. He is a person.
Starting point is 01:02:25 Yeah. He's up there with Garel as well. He's got a bad voice. Just because The Witcher 3 is a bit older. It feels more like a game sometimes. But Geryl always feels. feels real. Geryl always feels
Starting point is 01:02:37 that he's there. I mean, Commander Shepard's a weird one because he's... He doesn't count. He's just a thing, a vessel. Yeah, a vessel. Yeah. Which is fine, but...
Starting point is 01:02:47 I'd say, Red Dead 2 is the best game since The Witcher 3. Yeah. Yeah, I'd say that. But it's going for something completely different. Yeah, I'm not saying they're similar, but in terms of the quality of a game
Starting point is 01:02:59 and the amount of effort put into a game by such a huge team. It'll be interesting. to see if cyberpunk is able to like match richer and actually I reckon it will. Yeah. They're one of the only other people who have the position rock star have which is just infinite time
Starting point is 01:03:14 and money. Yeah. But talking about other games. Yeah. Yeah, that was only our best game. Yeah. Other games came out this year. We all gave, that was all our number one. That's why, yeah. That's why for me it's just not even a question. I might be a hated but even I can appreciate just how I'm saying that game
Starting point is 01:03:30 is. It just haven't had the time. It's just there are certain tracks on the, that's what really did it to me. It was going through the best songs from the game on like YouTube and each one of them is so strongly linked to moments and memories
Starting point is 01:03:46 and really emotional beats in the game and it's like fucking Christ it's just so impactful it left such an impression on me but nothing else did. I think the reason I prefer it to a god of war though is that when I play god of war it's
Starting point is 01:04:02 practically identical to when you went through it apart from one of us is going to be better at the combat than the other there's not you don't put your own stamp on it like my Arthur had a different facial hair different clothes
Starting point is 01:04:17 you play differently as well I play it completely differently see that that doesn't really come into it for me because I'm I'm fine with just a a group of people coming together and saying look this is the story we want to tell and this is what it's worth telling I'm not saying one is better than the other it's just
Starting point is 01:04:34 personal preference but for me i like when it comes to a video game that does i guess make it stand out a bit more yeah that kind of choice whereas god of war does something that really pisses me off in video games with like the way your character looks the armor certain things are better than others right you have to wear the ones that you might think look lame but they're going to give you a gameplay advantage so you're going to use it destiny does it mass effect two did it mess with two and three both did it yeah i saw i myself just on that note in MassFit 2 and 3 always wearing what I liked the most I was like that looks cool yeah I just didn't care in those kind of games yeah you can get
Starting point is 01:05:14 away of it but in God of just want to I I'd put the difficulty down in favor of looking the way I wanted but in God of War that's something the combat is so fun mm-hmm you want to challenge yourself that's that one of the big problems is Belfester games the game the game always ends the same way you there's you can't change it because it's just that type of power index type thing, which is good about what's red deck because that doesn't exist. You can look like a bloody gypsy online
Starting point is 01:05:42 with no clothes on. You're going to be the same as any other player. James is just racist again. James hates the gypsy. Oh, gypsy's a race? Yeah. Well, you're not allowed to call them that. You have to call them, what, travellers or something?
Starting point is 01:05:57 I'm not being racist. Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, what's another game that isn't Red Dead or God of War? James' game of the year, Spider-Man. didn't play Spider-Man you've talked about Spider-Man it's not the game with you though I don't want to hear about it definitely not smash bros yeah I've actually played it incredible it's great game it's the best smash bros it's the best party game ever made it's the best social fucking having the other day um fuck a maria what other game has brought
Starting point is 01:06:20 all of us and like Matt in at what point has there been us all crime just like which is over a decade ago that hasn't it it's not a party game in the same way we played we wasn't a party game no but we played it together a lot Well, not a lot. Like, I don't like a fighting game. There's something so pure about a game everyone can play in the same room. I love the, yeah, absolutely. And I love the thing where, like, people gravitate towards certain characters.
Starting point is 01:06:47 Like, all of us have a completely different play style. Yeah. And we all have our favorite characters, and it's so much fun. And the roster is just ridiculous. I'm really getting mine down now. I'm getting my main down. I don't have a main. I've only thought Alex once.
Starting point is 01:07:02 I feel like I've played the game more. more than you and like I didn't even have the game I've just been so busy I played crappy lame I played the fucking spirit mode thing which I'm not keen on the thing is yeah there are
Starting point is 01:07:17 there's no like spirit mode in it but it's just I don't care I don't care about that I haven't played it so I can't say as long as smash as long as smash is good like the that's the thing yeah the thing that is smash yeah is excellent
Starting point is 01:07:29 it's like infinite content because as long as there is a smash game you can jump on it and have fun mm-hmm with your I thought that I'd never get another smash game again because I didn't realize the switch was gonna be what it what it was I thought I was done because I really didn't want to buy a Wii you the Wii you was gonna be like it I really thought I was done with smash I thought well smash brawl that was
Starting point is 01:07:55 but it's yeah it's just so convenient and accessible mm-hmm and just getting controllers and everything so good switch is actually good that's it switch is awesome it's got the best of any of the consoles it's just a some of the best games yeah it's a fucking awesome console I can't believe
Starting point is 01:08:12 how much of 180 they've done console of the year yeah I'd say yeah by long shot you think on the subject if you think what when did the switch come out
Starting point is 01:08:22 what in the last year so you think in the Xbox one came up four years before that and that the actual Xbox one is a dog shit console which can't even play modern games anymore and the switch same what are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:08:36 What do you mean? We all played Red Dead on it. The stock Xbox 1 can't play things. The thing is about the stock Xbox 1 is people people have this expectation that I'll buy a fucking 400 pound console in 2013 and it won't depreciating quality and value by 2018. That's just misunderstanding technology.
Starting point is 01:08:56 You know, you have a computer, you can't really do that unless you bought some really high-end shit for that computer in that year. it's a given that because of the way technology gets better you're just exponential and games by the end of a console's life cycle
Starting point is 01:09:12 are always way more intensive than ones in the beginning which is to accept that you're going to have to buy a new Xbox James I mean getting that no that's not my point because Ford doesn't run on its Xbox what I'm saying is it only makes the switch look better because it's come out on the latest parts where
Starting point is 01:09:29 it's just not going to aid because Nintendo they're just the best of making games. Yeah, but if you look at like what, um, just on that, like, Wolfenstein 2 is on the fucking switch. I can't imagine that looks better than it does on an Xbox
Starting point is 01:09:42 on PlayStation. It's just sort of how it is, but Nintendo games will always look good because they have, like, strong art direction and visual style and design. They're the one game company that doesn't rely on hardware. They can't be a developer, they rely on creativity. The Switch, though,
Starting point is 01:09:58 the hardware is fucking ingenious. It turns into like a 3D yes it's like holding a game boy advance that's what yeah it turns into a portable console I had a game by advance when I was like yeah six and the screen was smaller than my phone yeah the whole thing
Starting point is 01:10:14 was about was bigger than my phone and the screen was smaller mad shout out to the switch man awesome console so good let me just check it has been a really great year for games though number three game because we've gone that's horrible
Starting point is 01:10:29 that's just horrible but Um only we played this I haven't just looked at the same thing A way out What a blast That was great It was so much fun
Starting point is 01:10:43 I've never said It was really creative as well And it's The way the story Actually ends up It's the only indie game Out of all the games We've listed so far
Starting point is 01:10:53 What we're talking about Dead Redemption was an indie game It's just fucking cheeky fun cheeky fun it's cheeky fun with a surprisingly compelling story and cast yeah I mean
Starting point is 01:11:10 one of the characters is voiced by someone who's not American and isn't yeah he's European had it but it's pretty weird but even then like he's got heart he puts heart in it yeah the whole game has heart because it's developed he was one of the developers
Starting point is 01:11:24 and he's just a voice actor yeah that's or it's the developer's brother yeah something like that yeah um do you remember the guy at the game Awards last year but he's just like started swearing and shit right next to the main dude Jeff Keely oh it wasn't that him yeah yeah it was that was the developer of the game he was like so confident I'm glad it paid off mm-hmm good old game that can't really say too much because some of the things I like about
Starting point is 01:11:56 at most are very spoilery yeah but I would recommend a way out for some you got If you have a friend, you have to have only one friend because you can't play it with more. Yeah. But you have to at least have one friend because you have to have a friend to play it together. So you can't actually play it by yourself?
Starting point is 01:12:13 No, can't. Wow. Got to play with somebody. Matt came out this year, don't it? Yeah. Wow. It's really good. I like it a lot.
Starting point is 01:12:22 Yeah. There are like complaints you can have for it, but it's just like... Yeah. Another one that I remember Sarn somebody who I see on Twitter a lot complaining about it But this dude thinks GTA4 is fun
Starting point is 01:12:38 Because you can throw bricks Is like... Have any more games? I really want to play Gwaka Mele too Yes That's a one to less So at number four Of games in 2018
Starting point is 01:12:51 We have Halo 3 And number five with Minecraft Because I only played Three games this year that I think a deserving of the of a spot in like my top games
Starting point is 01:13:04 it's right and four it just makes the formula I'm like I don't think of that as like it's not that type of game no it's just it's that constant that's constantly evolving
Starting point is 01:13:16 and I don't know how they do it they're making the formula a fucking temp like better each time and uh I played Firecrow 5 and I thought that was Monster Hunter World was this year
Starting point is 01:13:25 and I hate that game not a good game I played it a fair bit but don't really care for it until now i got fed up with it um battlefield 5 pretty fun multiplayer fire cry 5 i think uh is okay but it's just a fire crow game you know yeah this it's better than far cry 4 worse than far cry 3 that's what i'd say um full up 76 just narrowly missed my top 5 at least there is a definitive worst game yeah that's easily
Starting point is 01:14:00 that's the worst game I've played in years because I'll happily invest in a bad movie because it's just like an hour and a half two hours gone and everything's surrounding
Starting point is 01:14:07 full of 76 it's horrible as well yeah well I'm gonna say you already know game of the year next year best game of year next year
Starting point is 01:14:15 well last it was two or something I don't even know that's out of old oh yeah that's guaranteed I hope it is good it's not guaranteed
Starting point is 01:14:22 I do hope it's good I hope it's really good Dark Souls remaster came out this year shit game it's Dark Souls remaster I love it. I fucking...
Starting point is 01:14:30 I love Dark Souls. One of my favorite franchises of all time. It looks worse than Dark Souls 1 in some ways. It looks fucking shit. The Star Wars remastered looks worse than the original in a few ways. And I was a bit like... Is it like the Halo 1 HD thing? It's way...
Starting point is 01:14:47 Yeah, no, it's not like that. But... There's way less effort put into it than that, though. It was obviously just done in one afternoon. Yeah. Some of the... The lighting's fucked. It's the only...
Starting point is 01:14:58 missing it does look worse i would say it's missing its ambiance yeah and its atmosphere a bit it's disappointing but i mean certain textures do look objectively better but others look even worse but it's not worth it's the same with halo anniversary though isn't it where all the textures are better but the the lighting and mood and everything is in our direction in in dark souls remastered where because the resolution is now higher you can just see how shit certain things well just really badly tessellated things from a distance who are like that doesn't very good that was better one of a half job yeah they should have gone in on that I reckon no I wish they had but I mean Dark Souls 1 is a fucking masterpiece it's such a
Starting point is 01:15:43 goddamn good game which is why it deserved the full treatment Dark Souls 3 is better that no I agree it doesn't it's a better game but it's not the same there's something about that first one that it's more impressive there's much mystery in dark stars one yeah because you didn't they didn't quite know yeah nobody knew and and no one knew but dark source three you start to have expectations you're like seeing this kind of thing before I know how they're going to design this area you kind of start to just understand yeah you see the uh the blips on the radar if you will anyway that was uh for next year these two these two
Starting point is 01:16:29 game of the years of the new Dark Souls that was list cast right there list cast 2018 the ninja one shout out of the bear called Saul as well Shakira Shikira Shadows guy Shikira Booty's shake
