Starting point is 00:00:00 Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gents, and welcome to Corncast number 42. I'm your host, Alex, joined as always by... I don't know who I'm looking at right now, but I think it's James. Me? Yeah, and then, uh, in the, in the background, we got Mama or Jim. Yo, what's up? Oh, and there he is, the Mass Effect follower came on in Ruben. Yeah, I'm just cooking.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Now it is. Before we get too deep into the show, let me shout out the Jam Media Patreon. They make the audio version of the show possible. And have your names shred out in the first week of each month. Have a look over there for the perks. 42, guys. Or should I say 41? I'm not going to explain what happened with the last episode,
Starting point is 00:00:57 but it wound up being numbered 42, so I guess this is actually 41. So good luck if you're confused about the numbers or whatever, but I'm not going to adjust that. Wait, how did this happen? We're better than this. We're smarter than this. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:01:20 I guess I just decided it was episode 42, so I just made the thumbnail be like a 42 and stuff. So then it was like, oh, so is this 43 or should I go back? No, now, let's take 42 again. Yeah, we got three options. We either continue to 43, or we say this is 42 again or this is 41. No, no, we correct the timeline without going back and correcting the timeline.
Starting point is 00:01:50 This is 42. Yeah, what would Captain America do? I feel like in Final Fantasy, you know, since Final Fantasy games can release as like 13-2, we can just do episode 42 too that's fine that's one option it's that time guys it's that time for the for the corner someone else just whip out a name for this segment because i don't ain't got nothing for the for this week's without a name housekeeping yeah oh i still mean a name for this section um mansion looking after ring
Starting point is 00:02:27 welcome to Mansion looking aftering the segment of the show where we go back to comments from the last episode and just bust a few balls really Tom Tom Tom is going to start us off this guy and Jim inventing the same shitting technique is like Edison and Tesla coming up with the light bulb at the same time
Starting point is 00:02:47 It's more impactful There were a few comments regarding I called it in the time codes Ruben's game theory or something, hence why they phrase it this way, but the Vandals says, a great example of Ruben's game theory is TF2. At release, it was pretty well balanced and simple, the art style was consistent, and there was very little distractions in gameplay. Nowadays, you have people, the fuck?
Starting point is 00:03:17 I don't know what word they're supposed to be saying here, but people, I guess, converging with banana hats and unicorns floating around, and there have been full subclasses made from the extra weapons introduced over the years. There's a great video you might find interesting about this called Death of an Art style. I find... Yeah, I know the video, actually.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Yeah, thoughts on the TF2? I actually, I cited TF2 in my dissertation because of the silhouette and the hats totally ruined, the silhouette thing. Yeah. Now, just balance doesn't matter anymore.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Apparently, no one cares. And on the same topic, Fierreembrus said Warframe is a game that expanded to a point where it's become a chore to play. I know you've dabbled in Warframe. I don't know if you've played it enough to fully agree or disagree with that comment there. Yeah, I think it's a pretty, immediately I was like, you know, I don't want to fucking play this. I don't want to play any of them anymore. You know, they just can't be able to it. Yeah, it gets quite high, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:04:25 Yeah, so it's annoying. because I'd be down to play Warframe, like that game feels fun as fuck but I don't want to have to be Googling shit constantly because I didn't know it's crazy
Starting point is 00:04:34 how much Googling it to do I have tried with that game but it was just too difficult to, there's too much like management that and last one on this comment or this topic, sorry from Chung-Skingi
Starting point is 00:04:53 to add to the over-expansionation conversation, siege has every form of monetization possible. You first have to buy the base version of the game with one shit character which is about 10 pounds when not on sale, then to unlock every one of the base game characters playing the game casually will probably take you about a week, unless you just buy them all, but that's not even counting all the other more expensive characters that can take a week to unlock, which are essential to the game's matter, which is heavily defined by the amount of characters you have access to. So on top of that you have alpha packs, loopboxes,
Starting point is 00:05:25 which gives you skins and such. And then, if that wasn't enough, monetization, you also have a seasonal battle pass, which is the fastest way to unlock the new characters introduced. I feel that many siege players who have played for years and years don't realize how fucking nutty this is. And that's a bit of a trend too, because I feel like Destiny has a similar problem too,
Starting point is 00:05:44 where it has its weird microtransaction store, but it also has, like, you're charged for seasons and also expansions have a cost as well. It adds up quick. Destiny is probably more expensive than like just paying five bucks a month for like an MMO. Yeah, I'd way prefer to just buy a game and have the game. And if you do want to do a live service, don't cram it full of so many different ways of like bleeding your personal.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Sorry to interrupt this, but we are being attacked in the game and we're going to get swarmed in a minute and it's going to mess everything up. Are you serious? Yeah, they're at our gate. There's a massive monster at our gate. Look at it. No, but the thing with Siege is the one that's being missed is the, like, the 20-pound DLC skins as well, like Apex.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Yeah, yeah, the elite skins. Yeah, but Apex is free, I guess, it's the big diff. Yeah, no, I think Siege is a fucking joke. It's because it's been around long enough where it was, it came out in the time of battle packs or whatever. It came out in 2015. the time of battle pass so just cram them all in and it's fucking bullshit because i replayed that game a fair bit and you're the whole cosmetics you'd only get them through packs the best thing i
Starting point is 00:07:07 got from the packs was a doge charm but now it doesn't matter because there's a battle i um it's funny there's a there's a fucking book i've been reading i think i mentioned it already but just it was it mentions how capitalism brings with it a desacralization of culture but and also repackages things on an ad hoc basis and that's that's it there siege is just like it was just like okay this is what games are and it just added every new thing as it happened every new innovation every new way of just like taking money from people because they're fucking stupid it was just yeah this can go in the game now we're going to have this in the game as well we just repackaged it on an ad hoc basis so i just so it rang very true there
Starting point is 00:07:47 and siege is a really horrible example of it siege is gross Yeah, it's just too much at a certain point. Like, when people describe Destiny is free to play, I'm like... Really? How? What can you actually do in Destiny if you don't want to spend any money? I think you can go to the Cosmodrome. Yeah, like, it's not content. Do nothing there.
Starting point is 00:08:11 You can, like, it's around with, like, the public events. Um, fuck, what are we talking about? Destiny 2 being free to pay? We all done with that topic anyway, to be honest. Yeah, we've done it to death over the last couple. weeks. My fault. We had a final bit on
Starting point is 00:08:27 this pasta debate that's been going on. A couple comments here. One from Graham Thompson saying, Jarl's ongoing pasta discussion is further proof that British cuisine is a joke. How does that make you feel? Go fuck
Starting point is 00:08:43 yourself, 15 year old. And Simmy's boy actually said, what the fuck are box pasta and frozen pasta? Paster comes in bags, what the fuck? and yeah well sometimes it comes in boxes I think it's an American thing
Starting point is 00:08:57 because pasta is just you're buying bags yeah sometimes it's in carbo boxes but I don't know what this frozen pasta bullshit is all about and you can't
Starting point is 00:09:08 you can't insult fucking English cuisine when Americans stick fucking pasta well we don't know where this person is from yeah we don't know where this person's from
Starting point is 00:09:17 true guarantee also I don't like this thing about British cuisine it's like We were talking about when you get home from work and you want to cook or something. And when you're a busy person or a busy life and so, I'm just going to make some dinner quickly.
Starting point is 00:09:30 You know, I want to get it done. I don't want to make a, like, I don't want to have like a half an hour prep, and then an hour and a half a fucking around at a stove for every dinner that I have. So, oh yeah, just make your own pasta. It's easy. How does this talking about what pastas we prefer? Like, how does that suggest that British cuisine is bad? Also, it suggests that...
Starting point is 00:09:54 What do they think we eat? What do they think we eat? It's just plain pasta. Beans. Plain pasta and baked beans, yeah. I mean, regarding this food debate thing, the other one of note was the brief cake versus ice cream debacle, which... It went down to a vote on the jar media Twitter. And it was obvious who was going to win.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Lesbue Bill. So ice cream. Ice cream was 60% K is 40%. Ice cream wins again, baby. Yeah, we were right. Yeah. It doesn't deserve it. Yes, it does. Ice cream's incredible. Yeah, the question simply was which. No, no, nothing else to explain like what was being asked, but... Which? Ice cream. Definitely. Always going to be ice cream. Yeah, clearly, uh, we're in the minority, James, unfortunately with that one.
Starting point is 00:10:53 more cake for us yeah who needs shit ice cream anyway who needs shit to base Tesco basics vanilla ice cream let's do some topics I want to start with this one
Starting point is 00:11:10 because it's just it's a core jar media kind of topic that being a trailer for a new movies come out an anticipated sequel I hope you guys not talking about Venom 2 have we seen this yeah I've seen the trailer yep we've all seen the trailer yep so we're all
Starting point is 00:11:32 fan-gasming like pretty through the roof right I've already edited four fan cams I couldn't believe this in 2007 or I guess it'd be more like say 2010 YouTube remember all those fan edits where like people put a filter over the venom footage and made it red so then it looked like it was carnage we don't need to watch those anymore because we're just getting it now Woody Harrison's playing him and it's going to be emotional and definitely really cool and the action's going to be so sick
Starting point is 00:12:01 I actually think Woody Harrison is a good casting choice for him he looks creepy as that you know just as a dude I mean like he's a good actor in the same way Tom Hardy's a great actor but it's like what's the full name again like Venom 2 Monsters Unleashed or whatever
Starting point is 00:12:19 let there be carnage be carnage what do you think of that name awful but in one hand I quite like it because it does just it's very upfront
Starting point is 00:12:32 it's just like look this is the this is the venom movie of carnage in it that's all that you need to know and it's probably all that the film's going to be about there's nothing else
Starting point is 00:12:40 that's going to happen so it's basically it's like the King Kong fucking Godzilla movie it's just so you know you didn't really need to know anything about it other than that yeah yeah it's all explained in the title it seems to just be a comedy day
Starting point is 00:12:54 yeah how do you feel about venom being like it's like an anti-hero i guess in this universe he's like a wacky anti-hero no don't eat the old lady you eat the candy instead venom yeah he's barely even anti-hero i don't want to do that though did you like him singing at the start yeah that was great i just like picturing tom hardy in like the booth like just doing the Venom voice... Wait, he does the Venom voice? I'm pretty sure he does. It sounds like a...
Starting point is 00:13:25 No way. Like a boosted version of his voice. Listen really carefully, yeah. I guess that makes sense because, you know, the voice would come from him because he's the host, yeah. And who else would like voice it? Is there like a classic Venom voice actor that I didn't know? Yeah, the guy from Spider-Man 3? Oh, um...
Starting point is 00:13:44 The guy from that 70s show. Yeah? Yeah, so I'm glad we'll hype for it. Yeah, I hope we can see that one at the cinema as well. The one to, yeah, save cinemas. I think it is gonna only be in cinemas. I don't know if they're gonna drop it on digital, like everything else. How do you think they got Tom Hardy to be in these films?
Starting point is 00:14:11 Um, either loads of money or they somehow tricked him, got some dirt on him. Like he turned down Suicide Squad to be in Venom and Venom T I think you're fun in that regard Maybe he didn't like do enough research and thought it was going to be in the MCU And he just like didn't realize what he was signing up for Yeah James, any final thoughts on Venom 2, Carnage Unleashed I'm very excited I've got high hopes for this movie and I think it's gonna be a Oscar winning movie
Starting point is 00:14:48 Did you ever see the first one James No, I just know that one of George did a song for it So shit man Oh yeah they did didn't they Really Yeah really boring Yeah Yeah because that was obviously outclassed by the
Starting point is 00:15:04 True song from that movie Venom We're gonna get them But it's still an RTJ song So it's still better than the majority of music theme Guys it's It's time for the MassFet
Starting point is 00:15:24 Follow to come out I think Yeah The Mass Effect Legendary Edition came out Yesterday as of us recording this So I've been Just knee deep in MassFet 1
Starting point is 00:15:39 Which Was reminding me weirdly of It wasn't help him with this groundhog day thing because like the new game coming out being mass effect one of one of those games that I used to like rinse so much and like I'd if I know any game series like the back of my hand it's like the mass effect trilogy so I've been playing mass fat one on the hardest difficulty just rocketing through it because I just know everything about this game but this new version of it I feel like was being like underplayed and how
Starting point is 00:16:15 much they tinker with it and changed it and improved it because this version is sick i can't believe how good it's genuinely impressed i was just like oh my gosh this feels like a real game there's actually like a cohesive like thing going on with the trilogy now if it looks it doesn't feel necessarily it definitely feels worse than two and three but now that it kind of looks part of the same thing instead of mass fat one being this weird outcast where it's like yeah the ugly duckling that was, it was like the foundational experiment. The swans. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Because it's like, I was really thinking about it, just how ambitious Massifit 1 is specifically. They clearly didn't know like what they really wanted it to truly be yet. And it wasn't until 2 where they kind of refined it down. And it's like the best and worst thing about it because you have this, this crazy establishment of this universe. I was just thinking about how good like the first, just the first like 30 minutes of mass. of MassFit 1 are how much it has to do and how efficiently it does it
Starting point is 00:17:19 with how much it sets up the world you have the threat set up like sarin the whole spectre thing all the new alien races and doesn't feel overwhelming yeah exactly yeah it's crazy yeah it's actually so clever that whole universe
Starting point is 00:17:35 and like this is the story beats in Massifate 1 too I would go into a bit more but I feel like breaking down things like that right as the new version came out would just be antithetical I guess if there are people jumping on maybe just yeah it's actually a genuinely good story and now that they've they've adjusted the old archaic gameplay stuff a bit you can at least play it it's very playable it's very playable now and it's in just the addition of like hit markers and and slightly changing
Starting point is 00:18:07 the way the recoil is sort of isn't is your you the way they demonstrate it to you so that you can interpret the recoil i guess it's much better i was like equipping different guns and they actually like felt different and looked different which i don't even remember in massive at one because everything just felt the exact same i used a burst assault rifle today and i was like was these in the game to begin with i don't remember there being a burst assault rifle i got like a guest gun that like i remember that's in two and three but i don't remember yeah being in one and just stuff like that there is stuff that just does suck and always sucked
Starting point is 00:18:45 like the the side mission experiment stuff with the like the way they did it in Massa 1 with these like random planets that you have to survey I like the idea of that and the game really does feel expansive it makes it feel like you're exploring a universe
Starting point is 00:19:02 but when it gets down as those side quest thing is they're really bad Mass Effect 1 really fucking boring and the Mako thing too they did improve the controls but made me realize it's not even really the controls of the Mako that's the problem with that it's where you're going it's worse to be honest they put you in so many environments that are ridiculous terrains with these like really vertical hills just everywhere tiny vertical hills and
Starting point is 00:19:34 it's like really awkward to traverse around in some of the maps and that's just no fun but like the main missions there is some awkward shit and there that makes it feel like it is from the year it's from but i just i just think i've cleaned it up so well and i'm so impressed with what they've done with it and i'm like really excited to go through the whole thing now because i've heard one is that is the standout in terms of like it's obviously aged the worst because it's just the oldest and by the time you get to three apparently on this version it's almost looks so good it might as well be like a new game sort of level so I played them all last year even
Starting point is 00:20:13 I just didn't finish three but you know like last time with MassFit 1 I had to I played it through but then I had to get someone I had to just like download a save because I didn't want to play MassFit 1 twice to get to the highest level and so it was kind of a disjointed experience for that reason
Starting point is 00:20:29 so playing one knowing that I'm actually going to keep this character now and I'm not just going through the motions and then downloading a save at the end because I was like I want to play it makes sense and they're all like linked with the like the galactic readiness apparently applies to all three games now so there's actually like a link mechanic like just the way it's packaged makes way more sense makes it also the um the new like bio the other bioware like logo like splash logo thing they have
Starting point is 00:20:57 it's actually really nice just like yeah you know it's nice for them to just i know that i guess depending on the game that are different characters but i feel like it's you know bio way should really be playing to their strengths and you know it's like yeah commander shepherd his whole bullshit or in a weird way it was almost annoying me because I was like oh man yeah this is why I liked them this was this was biowat to me no wonder I was like so into this and this whole thing and like why did they abandon this formula because I feel like Mass VAT 1 that that formula like they hadn't nailed it by the end of MassFet 3 there's still more room to go they could have improved that but instead they went back to the
Starting point is 00:21:35 drawing board I guess and abandoned it So they didn't realize what they had on their hands quite until it was too late. But yeah, that was that. So it does feel like a new experience. Like I was saying, I played it last year, but this is, I'm like okay with playing it again right now. Like I'm genuinely enjoying it. None of it feels like a chore because I am pleasantly surprised by what they did to it. It's not just, oh, it's 4K now and the lighting's a bit better.
Starting point is 00:21:59 There's way more to it than that. It's actually deserving of the title of Legendary Edition. It actually deserves that. Skyrim, Legendary Edition doesn't deserve that. Just the environments and lighting and character models being updated helps so much with just like navigating through the levels Because I remember like just never knowing like what I was shooting at really or like what the fuck was going on in the combat of the first game It's like such chaos, but now you can actually like engage a bit more and it's still the funny quirks like the the charging enemies are funny and there's those like geth things that pounce around are like the most annoying fucking enemies
Starting point is 00:22:37 on the harsh difficulty but it's quite satisfying as a tactical shooter now actually yeah when you're using all the like abilities and stuff it's pretty fun does anyone got any food
Starting point is 00:22:51 I'm gonna die meat back on the fire meat is on the fire right now so Jim are you uh well you can eat that my expectations were partially so low for this
Starting point is 00:23:04 mass fit one thing because I just kind of gotten used to Jim just ragging on MassFit 1 but don't get your expectations high it's going to be shit bro I've been defending it the whole time from Jim he's just like shit I'm saying
Starting point is 00:23:18 pricking your ears or anything yeah go on you little hater go on I'm looking at you from what I've seen I mean I don't like the way it looks no you can't go off YouTube clips you have to play it
Starting point is 00:23:34 Like, it does, it does look wrong. Play it, I know again, that's, like, on a Discord stream. It doesn't look how it's been. You have to see it yourself, genuinely. Can't even stream it in 60 frames for you. But nothing could make me want to play that game again. It's too well. Should.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Take it, dip your toes in. Go on. Wiggle them around. Nah, because I was watching Ruben do one of those things. He's fighting a big squid on a... Threshamor. On a planet that's just barren. And that's the side stuff you don't have to do it.
Starting point is 00:24:07 That is the side stuff. You can just go through the main missions, no worries. Nah, I don't know. There's something about playing games like that where I feel as though I have to do all that shit. I get it. Yeah, because you're like, what if I won't get enough paragon, right?
Starting point is 00:24:23 I'll miss out on a tiny throwaway line of dialogue and two about something I didn't want. And then, I've played through the game, twice before and that my problem with mass fact one has never been the way it looks I quite like its weird visual style late that game kind of had like grit and an ugliness to it that I I feel like added to the character of it the first one they did slap film grain all over the fucking thing yeah yeah but like um the
Starting point is 00:24:57 the Normandy was like really dark on the interior it was like a horrible bowels of ship like you know just military of a thing you know had yeah which is something i thought was kind of cool but like i don't know from what i've seen in the remaster it doesn't it doesn't look like that and like yeah i don't know it part of it as well as knowing how mass effect three ends and where the series goes being andromeda i don't want to get invested into something that i know is going to let me down. I see, I've... You can disregard that andromeda.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Yeah, I've grappled of that, like, that psychological block already where it's like, I just sort of have my own thing. I'm like, you know what? It must with three may end in a weird place, but Citadel is pretty fantastic, so that... Yeah, with three...
Starting point is 00:25:48 Yeah, I never actually played that. The DLC makes a difference. Yeah, the deal C is really good. The way I wrap my head around it is that I just, while the ending is disappointing, like, the journey of that third game does have a lot of... the beats like from a satisfying third story that you'd expect and want anyway that are like
Starting point is 00:26:07 genuinely really good it does just fall apart towards the end um which does suck but and the extended version didn't help last time i remember playing it but i think that's the last time i've actually seen the ending of mass effect three was playing on the day they released that that update that fixed it quote and quote that's the last time i've seen it so i've not done it myself either last Like I was saying, I spent the last year, I just didn't finish three. Didn't do it. Yeah, no, because I do the same thing every time I try and play three. It's like a cycle of like, why do I don't, why do I dislike this game?
Starting point is 00:26:42 Because I like like the way it, like, builds up and there's a lot of cool shit in the game. There's just a certain point when Troy Baker's character comes in. It's like that boss part. He sucks. He sucks. That's the part. It's the fucking bit on the Asari Homeworld. I always finish that and then I run out of steam.
Starting point is 00:27:01 at that point. I just... Right, yeah. I have never liked Mass Effect as much as you guys do. I don't know why. I think when it comes to games, I like more of an emphasis on gameplay. Right. Yeah, because of course a lot of it is just conversations.
Starting point is 00:27:28 And if you're not interested in going through, through because I've just been going through actually listening to the dialogue and yeah and me I've not been skipping anything this time I've actually been paying attention to the law and shit and yeah that cut scene with no I can't really say but when they kind of start explaining what the reapers are and in like mass fat one you don't really know any of it yet so just thinking about it from that perspective so this is actually like a really cool way of like drip feeding out a story in making it build up more and more
Starting point is 00:27:59 well what about you james are you at all tempted because you always go on about mass fat one like that's your one you like the soundtrack games i actually love the way the first mass effect just like the way it shows you the world and all the the small details
Starting point is 00:28:18 that like feed into mass effect two and three like i love that but it played like garbage but it doesn't now now it feels fine play is the I don't care about two or three I want to play one
Starting point is 00:28:33 and I want to play one when it's good so yeah so this is what you've been waiting for yeah but I'm not painful price for it is the thing yeah if you just want one
Starting point is 00:28:43 yeah just wait I'm just gonna wait because it might it might go on game pass eventually or something like that so I'm just gonna I'm gonna wait out but
Starting point is 00:28:52 Hmm. I will probably have a good time of it because I love Mass Effector 1. Like the whole... What's that? I can't remember what the level is. It's to the later part of the game. Navaria?
Starting point is 00:29:06 Where you... It's when you find out about the Reapers. Yeah, that's... Yeah, yeah. That whole soundtrack there, the whole vibe there is incredible. And I still have that theme stuck in my head and I listen to it sometimes.
Starting point is 00:29:20 And it encapsulates everything that is good. about Mass Effect, found the vibe, everything. I just fucking love it. It'll be interesting to see how I feel about it when I do play it, but that'll be for the future. Jim, we've got to deal with this.
Starting point is 00:29:35 I just remembered another reason where I don't really like Mass Effect. That being... Because I like a good dialogue system in a game. But I think the dialogue system in Mass Effect is trash.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Wait, the simplification of it, you mean? The goody option and the baddy option. Yeah, I don't, I don't, I think, I think that works for like a Star Wars game, but for a game that's meant to have, like, more depth, it just doesn't really work. Yeah, and saying that, I was finding the old thing that was kind of, kind of surprising to me, like, I did a side quest to Mass Effect 1 where Garris, like, he tells you about this case or whatever that, with this, like, Salarian series. killer or something and it winds up with you confronting the guy and some weird
Starting point is 00:30:27 freighter that you find and the guy's like he's saying that it's not him but Garris is insisting it's him so you've got to choose like do you let Garris kill him do you kill him like do you confront him it's like a cool choice and I was like oh I don't remember like this in MassFit 1 this is cool yeah I just remember the stuff that's more like in Mass Effect 2 like for example where you can like help Garris kill someone or something and that is just like a
Starting point is 00:30:57 loyalty mission yeah his loyalty mission and that is just like a good option and a bad option it's pretty lame and it doesn't allow for any player expression no I think host
Starting point is 00:31:11 Mass Effect 1 they really streamline the RPG elements while they didn't in Mass Effect 1 yeah one actually I've noticed on a couple of occasions just constantly doing the paragon option can you know you can actually piss people off or you end up making things worse by being like oh i've got to do the good thing right now and then there are all the the
Starting point is 00:31:32 skill checks in aspect one too which a little bit into the three are way more options that come of it from the first game but i would say if someone hasn't played any of the mass effects is a great deal because they're improved but also getting all the DLC with the exception of the one you don't want to play I think it's a really good bargain if you just want to experience
Starting point is 00:31:58 Mass Effect's like properly Yeah it was one of the like remaster re-releases that needed to be done because the way it had been released was so fucked up with the DLC and everything because then the last time they really they released the trilogy it was like all the games
Starting point is 00:32:13 but without the DLC or some bullshit like that just like so stupid stupid because Mass Effect has a series, like the DLC is so, it's like essential, I just consider it part of the games. The best parts of the games are the DLC. Like, Cosumi, Mass Effect 2 has a whole different vibe and it's really enjoyable. It's like a different play style and it gives you different things away from the main game. Shadowbroker. Shadowbroker is one of the best DLCs ever.
Starting point is 00:32:41 It's actually just incredible. And then you've got Citadel on Mass Effect 3, which is a... also really good. Leviathan, hugely underrated DLC. No one talks about Leviathan.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Really good. I actually have never played any of the DLCs for any MassFet game apart from like the shitty ones in MassFet 1.
Starting point is 00:33:03 What? You've never played any of the stuff in two? Yeah, you never played like Shadowbroker. No, I never played any of it. No, really missing out.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Yeah. They're so fucking good. Yeah, Citadel in particular was like such an apology for the ending of three. Yeah. I think Jamie needs to buy it and actually play through them all with the DLC.
Starting point is 00:33:24 I think that has to happen now. I'd be curious on his thoughts on one and three with the DLC. You probably know two pretty in and out. Yeah, but again, I haven't played the DLC in two either, so... It's really good, like, yeah. Yeah, I don't like the pricing.
Starting point is 00:33:46 It's quite a lot for some pretty old games. See, I thought that too, but I think it's justified when you're just playing the game and you see what it's done to it. Yeah, I guess it's three games as well. Yeah. They've actually done quite a bit to them. It's just got to respect it. The length of them is a turnoff for me as well. They are long.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Yeah, that's a huge time sink. And I prefer like a sort of 10 hour. like Resident Evil yeah sorry there was just a creature making some like this yeah it's fucking horrible um yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:34:26 because I just recently finished Resident Evil and now I'm just like it you finished it did you? Yeah yeah oh did you like it I thought it was fucking awesome
Starting point is 00:34:34 oh good really good ass game and it sort of got me into the story more of Resident Evil really all the convoluted bullshit that's going on
Starting point is 00:34:45 really I'm like halfway through this two and a half hour video explaining all the lore of that. Oh funny, I didn't know that that was a thing. You love to send me that because I've been curious myself. Yeah. Because it's so bad shit and the way they like tell the stories is so like disjointed. You just get like little tiny bits in each game. Yeah, but also it seems like sort of planned out.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Yeah, yeah, that's what I mean. That's the most interesting part. But yeah, the way the mass fact, I'm really, Resident Evil 8 ties everything together at the end. Mm-hmm. Pretty cool. Yeah, that looks cool. I've started Resident Evil 8, but I'm really looking forward to playing more of it.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Just Mass Effect kind of. Mass Effect is Mass Effect, and it. Mass Effect's one of my safe games. You know, I feel safe playing Mass Effect. It's a comfort. It's a nice, like, oh, yeah. Good old Mass Effect. Always count on you.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Right, unless anyone else has anything to add about Mass Effect to Resent Evil or whatever, we'll back after these messages. Yo, how it is, cuz? JAR Media shirts. Go check them out. Description below. Cheers, bro. In it.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Welcome to the second half of the corn where we answer questions from the JARMedia subreddit. Head over to the suggestion thread if you want to ask us anything you like. 86, the Stakes, it's going to start us off. How many James clones, unarmed, would it take to defeat a 20-foot-long alligator?
Starting point is 00:36:15 Hungry? Question mark. I guess they're saying that alligators hungry at the same time, but I feel like either way, it's still quite intimidating and scary. Easy. Two. I've seen wild boys. You just hold them up from the from underneath their head, and you stab it in the chest. They do specify to defeat it, though, is the thing. So you need to, like, wrestle with it. If you can't bite me, then the rest of the clones will just rip out its insides. You said two, though. So there's only one of the clone?
Starting point is 00:36:44 Yeah, easy. No, but it's 20 foot long. Yeah. As I think about when like Steve Irwin is like putting down a crocodile, he's holding it down to do some, you know, whatever you would do to them. Like how many of Jameses would it require to hold down an alligator to, you know, make it submit or whatever? Well, it depends on, um, on James, really.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Yeah, that's the question. Just how many Jameses is required. because I would estimate 7 or 8 with a couple you know in the background just in case
Starting point is 00:37:22 something goes wrong I'm going to say 5 so you're going to have no weapon no yes I'm going to say 10 points I missed I missed the thing is actually fighting
Starting point is 00:37:34 and I've just been trying to work it out the whole time a 20 foot long alligator oh I think it depends on is it just like is this like trying to think like the absolute minimum like you know a number of Jameses will die but they'll get it done yeah okay like a safe number a number you feel secure and you know that and on 20 foot long alligator but it's going to be so like if it's proportional as well there's going to be quite a it's going to be a big fucking alligator it's going to be it's going to be so strong as well compared to just like a normal six foot human
Starting point is 00:38:09 I'm saying, you know, like, two lady dimitresses, they could get it done. But I think for, like, normal human beings who aren't proportionally massive as well, I'm thinking seven, I'm thinking seven or eight James clones. Okay. No, it would be six if it was post-Starboxer. Oh, okay. Okay. Tan Lank has one for us.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Hey, Gooners, this is a discussion me and my friends were having a few weeks ago. I'd love to hear your input. You can fight multiple rounds with Mike Tyson. And in each round, he's one year older, starting from when he was a baby. For every round you win, you get a million pounds. You don't get to take any breaks between rounds. How many rounds do you think you could last for?
Starting point is 00:38:57 Slash, when would you back out? Cheers. Okay, so... I feel like, you know, once I've done, like, beating the shit out of a, you know, zero-year-old to ten-year-old, I've got $10 million dollars pounds I don't need to keep watching a child You know I don't really smashing the fuck out of a kid
Starting point is 00:39:15 I feel like I couldn't take on A nine year old Mike Tyson So I'm going to say eight The difference between eight and nine is huge He started He started boxing at 18 This question's fucking dumb Start at 18
Starting point is 00:39:29 I would Yeah that's more fair That makes more sense Because then it's actually a challenge Because you actually have to get your ass kit Yeah you get fucking obliterated. Yeah, but then I wouldn't survive one round.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Yeah, exactly. I don't know how to box. I reckon I would try two years and just take it just for the reward, you know? Just for two years. No, but then, no, it depends because he made his professional debut at 18. So at 16, he was probably...
Starting point is 00:40:02 He could fuck you up at 16. Are there, like, pictures of what you look like or anything? I am. Like, when you look at the old pictures of the rock and stuff, and it's just like, what? Looks like 40 when he's 15. Uh, no, that can't, that, that, no, no, I, I, I googled Mike Tyson, like, 18. I, I, I, I, I don't believe what I'm seeing. Is there a picture of him?
Starting point is 00:40:33 He looks fucking whipped. Oh, no, there's a picture of him from when he was, like, 13 years old, he's like yeah dude maybe I just do one year yeah
Starting point is 00:40:44 nah he'd fuck we can't because Mike Tyson's I go to comparison
Starting point is 00:40:50 for if strength like none of fight him that's not fair do you think
Starting point is 00:40:56 all four of us could take him on but could he beat any of us at Halo 3 no okay could he beat me
Starting point is 00:41:02 at Halo 3 when I was 13 no he couldn't even do it then I was shit when I was 13 he's
Starting point is 00:41:08 trained for this. I trained for that. Do you think he could make every one of your squad members survive through a suicide mission? No. No fucking way. No, I don't think he could do that. I didn't think he could do that. He wouldn't be able to get enough Paragon for the Paragon
Starting point is 00:41:24 check for fucking what's the name, Jack's Laudity Mission. You know? He wouldn't be able to do it. He wouldn't be able to do it. Yeah, but Mike Tyson's a millionaire because he would choose Miranda. And then he wouldn't have Jack's Lourty. it's the jack would die.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Yeah, I'm looking forward to the new angles in MassFit 2 that don't show yeah, I'm curious about that. Maybe they'll do just one cheeky little one, just one cheeky little butt shot. Just one cheek? No, she's got to be double shot. Double cheeked up.
Starting point is 00:41:56 On a Thursday afternoon. Fucking idiot, you broke our campfire! Skelly Dude 11 has one for us. Hi job, boys. Seeing how much you love Pussy and Willie, I thought this would be an interesting question for you. Would you fuck a sex robot? This may seem like a silly idea for the distant future,
Starting point is 00:42:15 but it's actually been developing over the past couple of years. Right now they cost thousands, but soon should become relatively affordable. Sex robots are being designed to bring a better experience than human intimacy whenever you want. No need to ask for consent. Of course, the robots will have AI to talk to you and remember your preferences. There seems to be a billion dollar industry that will soon. awaken before anyone knows it. It's quite a weird concept for me to think about so I would
Starting point is 00:42:43 just be interested in your guy's thoughts. Thanks. Well it's kind of fucked up because the consent thing I feel like it's going to have the inverse effect. It's not going to be like oh people that would be it's not good because how you look at it. It's like people that aren't good at understanding consent have fucked the sex robot and then or they are conditioned into not really understanding the concept of consent after fucking a sex robot. And then it totally damages the way they view, like, human sexual relationships forever. Yeah. Yeah, it could be pretty doom and gloom with that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:43:24 But, you know, the early adopters, I guess we can get their thoughts on it, get their reviews. Yeah, James, how's it been for you? Shut up. What if the technology is just undeniably so old? awesome that it just becomes like just everyone's just has their like their draw with their little milker in it or whatever the sex robot they're just like hang on just got to go get milked a minute it's just James if you had a sex robot and you could oh I think why are you asking me why these questions always directed at me we're posing with anyone with an
Starting point is 00:44:01 anime sexy figurine so if you had an had a sex robot what anime character would you make it I wouldn't own one But if you did You money on car parts No I know You money is no object here No James imagine You could
Starting point is 00:44:16 You could have a Like in your car A milk machine Yeah I was gonna say I'm inappropriate Yeah You could just put like a flashlight
Starting point is 00:44:31 In the exhaust Fung Why would you fight No no I think it I think that the sex robot industry is like porn just gone too far do you think it's going to take off in our lifetimes though is there going to be definitely yeah probably definitely I mean porn is already like totally fucking shat all over the way people think as it is yeah if porn is that damaging how how bad the sex
Starting point is 00:45:02 robots gonna be this is so that would be our thing like man I remember the days when people people used to like fuck each other and stuff. Yeah, maybe that is the thing that's like, man, grandpa, you're just so old. I'm just going to go fuck my robot a few more times. I don't think sex robots will become mainstream. Not for like another 50 years. That's our lifetime. That's our lifetime, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:29 People have always been like that with sexual stuff. Like, it's never been mainstream. So I can't see if... Porn is mainstream. I would say porn is mainstream, yeah. No, I'm saying porn, no, but I'm on about, like, there's been sexual objects. Like, fuck machines already exist. But it's different, because it's not...
Starting point is 00:45:46 It's not an answer. Yeah, but black doors... Once you have, like, robots that are way more realistic and responsive, you know, they say things and shit. Game over. I think VR is a more likely thing anyway. But VR's gonna happen. You combine the two. It's just VR. It's just VR. Fuck machine.
Starting point is 00:46:08 That's a wedy thing. Just accept it. We need to be robots. Brub 5 has one for us. On the topic of eagles, birds have very thin hollow bones, so even just slapping or whacking them, especially their wings,
Starting point is 00:46:27 will break them and incapacitate the creature. You would get injured, but if you could even land one good hit, you would win. I wanted to include that just sort of as a slight against this one person that just hates every time we bring up like animals we can beat in like a fight
Starting point is 00:46:44 or whatever just this is one person that like just hates it as a topic and I just wanted to bring it up for them no but this is this is on my side of the eagle debate yeah yeah that's why I could be an eagle
Starting point is 00:47:02 but they also said on pasta yes the American was right both pasta sauce and pasta do take a long time to make but pasta sauce just sits there in a pot slash pan simmering away and requiring basically no effort whereas making pasta is involved
Starting point is 00:47:18 and requiring kneading shaping etc so in effect the actual time you're taking to make it is way longer I think that's actually the perfect full stop to put on this topic they kind of put into words just the breakdown Instead of just being angry and furious
Starting point is 00:47:34 because we're the ones having it directed out of us Oh fuck off, no Actually Warlock Wabbit Has this to say Do you find yourselves ever making groaning or sighing sounds
Starting point is 00:47:48 When doing activities that don't require it often Sitting down, drinking something stretching, etc I never paid mind to it at first But ever since I heard from someone That it's one of the signs that you're getting older I notice it more and more To the point that I wouldn't blame myself
Starting point is 00:48:01 if they slap me for doing that. Do you guys notice yourself or catch yourself doing that? The old, you're sitting down. You know, like when I stand up, it's like, I scream. Yeah. You gotta verbalise,
Starting point is 00:48:20 and you're like lifting your leg up. I don't. Really? What do you do when you sit down then? I sit down. No, I just sit down I don't I've never noticed myself make noises
Starting point is 00:48:37 well you're going to be in for a surprise anyone else have any noises Ruben what's your noises um I don't know I mean I just sort of I don't I try not to do it too much whenever I catch myself doing I'm like
Starting point is 00:48:58 Bro, shut up. You don't even need to make that noise. That's usually what I'm thinking. It's like, just be quiet. Really? What about if you're, like, doing a strenuous exercise or something? You never do the old... Or something like that.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Really, because, like, if I've got my headphones in, I'm trying to be quiet. It's usually just like an exhale. Like, of like, all, like, you know, through gritted teeth kind of shit. Yeah. Or, so whenever I kneel down, I just fart. Ever you know down. No exception to that.
Starting point is 00:49:28 I was coming up the stairs yesterday and Paisley was following me and she was just like farting, like almost with the steps. I'd never heard anything like it. It was fucked. Triple Joe has a question that made me laugh out loud when I read it. A couple Swindon questions. Will you guys ever do as Swindon as bad as they say? But more importantly, if you guys hate Swindon so much, why does it seem like you're always there? like do you go there for holiday or sabbatical or something
Starting point is 00:50:00 we haven't been to swindon in this year no i guess they're just speaking like broadly ignoring the like pandemic and stuff oh no um barely actually you know guess what i missed the question i was distracted well you're fucking fired get the fuck out here look i'm sorry i was posting something on the chat media reddit as we were speaking
Starting point is 00:50:26 I'm sorry I read it is so fucking fucked the rules just the rules like they've changed the cover to be goon
Starting point is 00:50:41 just a massive or the movie poster I guess it must be like the cropped title for it or whatever just there and then our rules like when I was posting
Starting point is 00:50:53 it shows you like what the rules are and it's just like It's the tick-old bitsy's lyrics And then just at the end A man where the fuck is married you It's still there It just really got me Your fucking shit it's
Starting point is 00:51:07 So yeah You should post questions on it Piddle Knob has this to say Hi Mingers I was wondering what you thought About Pokemon being dibbies Are all Pokemon dibs by default Or does some escape being dibs By virtue of being gross
Starting point is 00:51:23 Like muck or Garbadour or not cute enough like Ray Quasar, I guess it's Ray Quaser or Garados, thoughts Um Pokemon are kind of the go-to like Dibby, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:51:37 The Pikachu but I haven't really thought about it. They're not all Dibbys. Did we dedicate an entire section of an episode to going through the Pokemon generations to talk about dibbiness? No, we're just talking about
Starting point is 00:51:50 ones we liked. It wasn't anything to do bivis. but the answer is there are a hell of a lot of them but there are ones that aren't not I guess yeah just assume they are unless they are like a dragon thing or like me i'd say it's about 50 50 yeah because they're with Pokemon designs they either they're going for cute or they're going for cool you know yeah yeah those are the two like types of Pokemon designs so yeah the goad has one for us your last comment about history in the last 100 years got me thinking. I'm a university student and I've spoken to a lot of innovators and people in the engineering industry. And what a lot of them are saying is that we're actually progressing in terms of technology a lot slower now than we were in the 1900s. All the latest tech coming out, 3D printers, supercomputers, driverless cars, lasers, VR, augmented reality are actually all technology that has existed in some primitive form during the 70s or 80s.
Starting point is 00:52:50 We are developing very few new innovations that are instead kind of designing a lot more improved versions of technology that already exists. If you look at sci-fi movies during the mid to late 1990, uh, during the mid-late 1900s, they always show future technology that is far more advanced than what we tend to have when their fictional time periods become reality. Back to the futures 2015 and Blade Runner's 2019 are good examples. Whereas the future is envisioned by people during the early. the 1900s was actually less advanced in those futures than they actually came about. Just something interesting I thought you guys would like to know that perhaps
Starting point is 00:53:28 during our lifetimes they might run out of ways to innovate and improve our technology. What do you think companies would do when this happens? Would they do a lot more cosmetic changes to our technology to make it look more new and advanced than it actually is? Or could it even potentially result in the collapse of our current
Starting point is 00:53:44 world order? There are a lot of heavy thoughts but I'm curious to know what you guys think to see where the word is going in the next 50 years or so. Let's break, let's break this down. There was bigger technological growth in the 1900s because of World Wars because of the Cold War and World War II. That's where technology advances because we want to kill each other. 22,000's, there's not been a war on that scale. Hence why technology hasn't advanced as much as people would have fought back in the 1900s. You've got to apply some pressure and the current pressure that we have is like, yo, fossil fuels,
Starting point is 00:54:18 like we're going to be careful about that because we're going to maybe run out and you know maybe make the planet too hot so look out for that that's like our current pressure and no one seems to be reacting to it so
Starting point is 00:54:33 you know until it's like five you know until a city gets like swallowed or some shit and I mean anything's going to happen yeah no humans humans are like we live at 5% when there's a war or disaster
Starting point is 00:54:46 we live at 100% everything gets done at the 100%. Climate change is horrifying but we'll fucking fix it last minute. Yeah, and loads of people have to die first as well. Yeah. That's kind of how technology's advance. It's how we do things, man.
Starting point is 00:55:04 It's quite a hard thing to quantify the technological advancements. Because even though we are just improving what we already have without innovation, They're being improved at a pretty ludicrous rate. Well, nuclear fusion is like, we're progressing with that quite well at the moment. Like, we've talked about that.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Like, that's fucking progress that could change history. Like, we're not, like, not doing anything. We're constantly improving. It's just not on the same scale because of just context. Yeah, we should start a new war to make a technology, improve. Yeah, how does one stumble across new technology? I guess it's something you can't really stumble across
Starting point is 00:55:54 space. Yeah, unless it is like Mass Effect where you find it on Mars or whatever. You just find the next tech. Which is another awesome thing about no, it's spoilers but yeah for MassFit, but yeah, I don't know, I guess I never really thought about that the way
Starting point is 00:56:12 that is an interesting way of refining tech from Yeah, that it's been around for a while. Yeah, I guess I don't know what a new technology would be even, like conceptualizing it. I'm too dumb for that. What about some sort of robot we could fuck? Yo, and then maybe... No, I think that's too much, actually.
Starting point is 00:56:40 What about robots that fuck each other and have babies? Yo! And feel emotions and stuff. Yeah. And have little pet robot dogs. It's a good idea. The one Croatian jar fan. That's one.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Hello JAR Media Corncast. I'm the only Croatian Jalding and I want to know. What are your opinions on Ubisoft and their efforts to milk all of their popular properties? As someone who played most Far Cry games, I like them all, but not a single one improves on the last. Do you think making the same game again and again with a new coat of paint is acceptable or even moral in any way? I think their games are quickly becoming like the FIFA franchise
Starting point is 00:57:22 but I also have hope that they will learn and do you think beyond good and evil two will be any good if it ever comes out? If you ever wore a tie, you can thank Croatia. Okay. Thank you, Croatia. Thank you, Croatia. Next question.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Okay, so I think that Fire Cry, the weird thing is, like you were saying that they come out, you know, so much like the FIFA games, except it takes something like three years to make one. It's like, this is really mediocre. Why did this take so long? Well, like they've been running these series for like so long now. There's like eras of like franchise now. Like Assassin's Creed has gone through different eras. You know, there's like the Etsio era. There's the boat games era. And now I guess we're in the generic historical whatever map eras.
Starting point is 00:58:13 light RPG loot kind of mechanics now and like XP systems and shit single player live services whereas it used to be just sort of a basic open world like action kind of game with a bit of stealth in there but yeah it's the reason I stopped giving a shit about Ubisoft a long time ago whenever they do you remember the head started saying yeah we don't want any game that can be released so we don't want any game that can be released that isn't part of like a franchise or whatever and that was the moment I stopped caring about Ubisoft because they stopped releasing like the Rayman games and those cool like valiant hearts
Starting point is 00:58:52 and all the interesting shit they were doing they just stopped doing it um once I think Ubisoft are currently the worst like big publisher out of all the main ones yeah potentially you think they're worse than like Activision um at least like modern warfare was pretty fun Hmm Yeah Yeah Yeah, I don't I don't know a single shit about
Starting point is 00:59:17 Ubisoft anymore I just don't I used to be into Assassin's Creed and thought Far Cry 3 was really good Yeah Are you gonna get
Starting point is 00:59:25 The Guillemé del Toro Farcray 6 Or Guillemot del Torre You mean Gus Just brings No The last Far Cry I played
Starting point is 00:59:36 Was 4 And I thought it was pretty boring Firecrow 5 was pretty shit I thought 5 had that awful villain that Troy Vega voice for some reason. Yeah, Troy Baker voiced an Asian dictator.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Yeah, what was that about? What? You couldn't find a single Asian actor. Like, that's how you won up Vass. Wow. Okay. Pagan men. Yeah, that's a name
Starting point is 01:00:06 that sounds like it should have Troy Baker's voice. Wait, that's like multiple Asian characters he's played then. Because he did, in Mass Effect, he plays like an Asian super soldier guy. Weird. It's true, yeah. Wait a minute. It's Troy Baker.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Hey, Lang, Kai Blang. Yeah. Wait a minute. Yeah. And then he's snowing, Final Fact, what is happening? Wait a minute. My boy, Troy. Final Fantasy, are they Asian or not, you know?
Starting point is 01:00:38 I never know. I can never tell her. because they just look like anime characters so I don't know what that means what race is anime is it Asianified it's like Asian Westernified Asian or Asianified Western
Starting point is 01:00:51 depends how you look at it Yeah Let's do this one from Movies Music Me We're re-listened to the cast And I notice something that's just pissing me off All right James stop saying I'm not a gamer
Starting point is 01:01:04 It's been years of this going on I'm already up to the corn stage On this re-listen and you need to come to terms with it.

Starting point is 01:01:30 Answer me. No, we've gone over this. You're a gamer. No, do you? Gamer. We've gone over this. Gamer. When I, when I say, what do you think you think of someone whose main hobby is gaming yeah yeah Mike that's not mine I'm not a gamer so I'm a game of no it's not about like specific like time like if you have two hobbies and if one hobby you do more that means the other one doesn't count doesn't work like that everyone who plays a game's a gamer no it's different it's different but you do go on and you play OPEX for like
Starting point is 01:02:10 two to three hours every day. I'm casual fucking gamer. Yeah, you're still a gamer, though. No, I disagree. You're a gamer. I'm not a gamer. I would say all of us here right now are gamers. Yeah, all gamers.
Starting point is 01:02:23 No question. For me, I'm just a racist. Just, yeah, different levels of intensity of gamer, you know? Is a game of a hardy-oh? Oh, fuck. A gamer. Chippo Hippo one has one. I probably should have put in the section earlier, but it is just regarding the
Starting point is 01:02:47 this expanding services thing. You're talking about live services expanding until death, but you failed to mention CS Go. Just wondering what your opinions are. That's a game that stayed practically the same since launch and hasn't been affected for than skins by one million plus daily players. Personally, I've sunk almost 5k hours and it's fundamentally the same game from when I started playing, what your opinions on this game thanks gamers I it's a tough one to like analyze CSCO because it's such a like it's such a tight concept
Starting point is 01:03:19 that they've never they've never had any reason to reinvent it particularly they never changed anything about it and maybe that's what it is it's just the balls of it because I play it and I'm like man this is an archaic piece of shit but they've been so defiant over like 20 years I'm just like no we're not going to change it
Starting point is 01:03:35 fuck you and people are just like okay and they just like it and they just like it, yeah. It does seem to be the exception to the rule, though. Yeah. I don't know if I'd call it a live service, though. Yeah, I'm not sure. It's not really, because it doesn't have major content updates. It just has skins. Yeah, it's like so old, like, it's from before that era when they'd even design like new games to be addictive in the way. I guess it just nailed that gameplay loop and everyone just loves just replaying it endlessly.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Canned manned sand can do one of our last ones here Hi jar, homies. I was wondering what everyone's opinion was on the Roadman accent. It seems like it's been everywhere in the last year or so. Every, especially in memes and the British side of TikTok. All my mates have started saying shit like, Ra, say nothing, G, etc. An NGL, it's crept into the way I've talked by osmosis, lull. I've heard some people say it's goofy as hell accent. Cheers boys.
Starting point is 01:04:39 you're racist if you call it goofy first of all yeah don't be racist yeah don't be racist not cool it's a cool accent it's just it's the most cringe thing when people who don't have the accent
Starting point is 01:04:52 like pretend they have it like there's like a sect of people that do that and that shit do a roadman accent I can't ask who you can I can't I'm not doing it
Starting point is 01:05:04 you always do the ting thing I'm just like well I suck you mumble I'm not doing that I just keep saying, like, cringly shit that no one really says. I just keep saying stuff. It's like old references to, um, uh, just like the grime thing of like, it's, I can't even think what it is.
Starting point is 01:05:22 It's a JME song where he just tells him, like, suck to your great, grand for your dad's bassy crease, rude boy. Yeah, so, thank you. You gotta say it clearer? Suck your dead great gran for your dad's bassy crease, boy.
Starting point is 01:05:42 That would be a great title if it wouldn't be instantly flagged. Alex, you do a roadman accent for us then. Just for the people. Righty ho, bro. Righty-ho, ting. No, I do say ting
Starting point is 01:05:57 quite a bit. That's worked as well into my vocabulary. Because it's say nothing or say less. That's the one you just say, I'll say less. Even I felt that one like creeping in and I try not to
Starting point is 01:06:11 speak out like you know in an affected way because I'm like that's just not what my accent is man it just sounds ridiculous if I say
Starting point is 01:06:17 shit like that yeah but proper tingo bro shut up shut up shut up shut up mr of sims
Starting point is 01:06:28 says Eternals 2 has started development it's nice to see Disney has such faith in Kamal or Kamail Wait what
Starting point is 01:06:37 it's started The second one, it's already happening, we've already got the second one before the first one. It's unprecedented. We're getting the second movie before the first one. It's going to be a masterpiece. Yeah. It's going to be a fucking awesome film.
Starting point is 01:06:54 No, they've convinced me. This film is just going to be good. It's going to be funny. It's going to be emotional. It's going to win Oscars. It's going to be awesome. It's going to win at least one Oscar. I'm saying that now.
Starting point is 01:07:07 I guarantee it. I bet big money. I bet on James's batty crease. Toby Rabbit has one. Hey fellas, you jokingly call each other the HALO Follower sometimes. Is this in reference to the Halo follower channel? I accidentally stumbled across their Why is Quartana naked video a few days ago?
Starting point is 01:07:32 Loll, it seems like a lot of people are not too keen on the channel. Thoughts? Yeah, that is lie. is why, it's because of their channel. And like, yeah, it's pretty shit. Can we say that? What are your thoughts on Halo follower, James?
Starting point is 01:07:52 Difficult one. I think his video production is really good. I think he's got a really great personality and he's quite lovable. But Halo's fucking shit. No, you can't just make it. That wasn't the question. The question was about Halo follow.
Starting point is 01:08:07 The problem with Halo followers that he's following Halo. No, he made destiny follower. I'm going to let you guys in onto a little tip bit. You're the Halo follower. No, but I nearly was the Halo follower. He used to like, no, I wasn't really the Halo follower.
Starting point is 01:08:26 He used to, like, you could, like, apply to do the voiceovers because I guess it's not his biggest strength. The voiceovers in his videos or whatever. So I, like, nearly recorded one. because I was like wanted to be on the Halo Follower channel. This is before I had my own channel, I think. But I never followed through on it because I was too scared. Wait, what? No, Halo Follier was after your channel.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Really? No, he made Halo F follower for like Halo 4, didn't he? Yeah, it was Halo 4. Yeah. Yeah. Wait, so you could have been the Halo follower. I could have been the Halo follower. Damn.
Starting point is 01:09:07 That's the name of the appellor. episode then. I could have been the Halo follower, question mark. Yeah, and then have a picture of the halo follower doing a poll place. Yeah, doing a podcast. Exactly. Let's end on this one from the
Starting point is 01:09:21 other Jamie. Question for the Metal Gear followers. You've previously expressed a fondness for the Phantom Pain, but what are your opinions on the shortcomings of the game? Obviously it's blatantly unfinished. Hashtag fuck Konami. But I personally
Starting point is 01:09:37 feel that the game also has balancing issues. Objectively, the best load out is two stun weapons, usually rifle and pistol, the sneaking suit, since it reduces foot noise and the camoes don't offer enough to use them over the sneaking suit, and D-Dog with the stun knife so that nearby enemies are spotted, which is a passive ability rather than quiet spot everyone on this specific area move. The game punishes you for killing, so why would you use any other load-out? This could be okay if ammo management was a concern and maybe you were forced to use enemy weapons when running out of ammo, but you can airdrop ammo at nearly any point in time for
Starting point is 01:10:12 very little cost. Venom Snake is just two op. This isn't to say that MGSV is a bad game. It's a very good game that I sunk many hours into, and Skull Face is a great meme of a character anyway. Which Metal Gear Solid games are the cast of Madagascar? Don't answer that bit. Just answer the first bit. Um, I mean, it's true. Yeah, it's definitely true. But, um, go away. Shut up. off don't you say that I'll be taking no further questions it's the first game I found um and it it's always kind of annoyed me when I've heard other people say this shit but like make your own fun apply your own restrictions and you know fuck with the sandbox like there's a reason um donkeys videos are so good because he always
Starting point is 01:11:02 fucks of the sandbox he's just a creative guy yeah and it really if you there's not much point in the game in like doing everything perfectly like if you're chasing the S ranks or whatever then yeah sure but if you just want to
Starting point is 01:11:21 jump into this open world with these dudes you can fuck with like have a good time just do it man because when I've been playing it like I wasn't taking all the OPEs shit. I was
Starting point is 01:11:38 intentionally making the game somewhat harder. And on top of that, I don't think any of the Metal Gear games have been particularly well balanced. No, I was thinking that. I was like, two and three, where I was like, all you would
Starting point is 01:11:54 really use is like, well, I was watching a video today and it's like, there's just so much dumb shit that you can exploit in those games. It's never been about, it's just been about knowing and just doing it all, or deciding not to, or just deciding to do the silly thing that gets you through the game quickly, or maybe not quickly, but effectively. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:13 Yeah, I definitely prefer if the game was more balanced, and it would make it a better game. But also it makes it more accessible for people that aren't so inclined to do the big brain plays. Maybe they'll do like a Snyder cut. that game one day. Oh, could you imagine? We're gonna do it, we're gonna finish Metal Gear. The Schneider cut of Metal Gear Solid 3. Also, Metal Gear Solid 5 not being finished.
Starting point is 01:12:50 It's because it's a phantom pain. You know, it's not finished, and you wish it was there, but it's not there. But it feels like it's there. Yeah, there's so much shit that you can read deep into with, like every Metal Gear game, but especially five. That's cool. I hadn't thought about that. yeah
Starting point is 01:13:08 yeah a lot of fanboys argue that it was intentionally unfinished I feel like he I don't think it was so much it was intentionally but I feel like Kojima possibly knew from the start
Starting point is 01:13:24 yeah they weren't going to let him finish it and so he planned for that in a way where I don't know he just planned for it and he made sure the game could be sort of as finished as finished in all the right places you know to be a fucking game before I got taken away from him
Starting point is 01:13:39 well motherfuckers man motherfuckers do you like Mount Goosello 5 Alex I mean I've got nothing against it I've always thought it looks fun a fun sandbox I'm not that interested in playing at the I think that's it folks episode 40
Starting point is 01:13:55 42 to 1 41 41 434 episode 43 44 episode 43 any final words um Yeah, stream BTS's new single.
