Good afternoon, morning, evening or night.
Ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to JARCAST 232.
Is it right?
No.
I did it.
Yeah.
No.
I changed that.
232.
We got it.
Hey.
No, it's correct.
It is correct.
It is correct.
It is correct.
It is so 232.
I'm going to host Alex, joined as always by SmartMort himself, James.
Yeah?
Yeah, SmartMort himself.
I'm and Beast over there.
How are you doing?
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Smart Mort.
Maybe you should just all do that.
Yeah.
Smart Mort.
Welcome to the Smart Mort part of the show where we thank the patrons who make the audio version of the show possible.
And you get your names read out if you're a sandy tier above in the first week of each month.
I guess in terms of housekeeping and cleaning up and all this sort of nonsense.
The comment barrel part of the show.
Yeah, but even just quickly before you go into that, is there anything on the Patreon that's going?
We've got the E3 video because we'll be talking about that a little bit in this episode.
But we've detached the Halo conversation because we had more to talk about.
feeling this episode would otherwise be just a halo podcast so and it was probably it was probably
the biggest thing from e3 anyway to actually talk about so yeah one of them other stuff we'll get
on to in a minute but first yeah housekeeping um where we address some comments and feedback from
the last episode Alex is going to get us going um regarding our conversation about football
because uh footies on at the moment people are hyped here in the UK especially listening to the
football discussion was fascinating to me as a huge
fan of the sport. On Jamie's point about
preferring fiction, I think football can excel
in a great storyline. I would
say my favourite part of watching football is not
the actual 90 minutes played, but the debates,
discussions, narrative, and tension
surrounding a match. Football
has also given me some of my greatest
friendships, just offering my perspective
and I completely understand those who don't care for it.
See, I understand
that when it's like the really big matches,
like... Yeah, I can understand that.
Just not loving, it's like,
Swindon Town versus It's Switch
Like
It's never going to be the same though
As a good story, is it?
You know?
Um
Like the story, like
Yeah, it's a totally valid thing
To get from watching the sport
But you know, it's not
Um
It's not exactly the last Jedi, is it?
Uh, Jack has one for us
The funniest bit of the
Uh slash FNAF debacle
This is referring
to JAR Media
overtaking the
FNAF subreddit somehow
I guess one of the mods just
is a jarling or somehow managed to
snag it
but
yeah it's
actually reverted to a real
FNAF subreddit and there are still
Jarlings stowed away there so whenever
there's a post about who's your favorite animatronic
half the comments just say James
or something to that effect
so check out
R slash Fnaf if you want
a wicked good time.
Volt Tech AU has one regarding these strategy games
James is into at the moment.
If the grand strap boys want to get into the paradox ones,
I suggest they start with Hearts of Iron 4.
James' comments on the unit management reminded me
how meticulous that other games in the franchise can be
because their main focus is on other mechanics,
whereas Hearts of Iron is mainly about warfare.
I know it's the easiest to learn,
but none of the Paradox games
are especially user-friendly when you're first starting
out. The boys got it right when they said Civ is the best starting point for these games. I
started out with Civ 5 and then worked through some of the total war games and then on to
Paradox. Also your super scary ghost place talk scared me and I'm on the little opposite side of
the world. Stay strong cringes. I've looked into the Paradox games because they do like
Europa Universalis. Yeah. And they do a few others. I've looked into them but it's just because
I'm in total war at the moment that I need to get through those and then down the line.
But yeah, we both started, I started a Siv 5, you started a Siv 6.
They're just the best way to get into these type of games.
Shledit left one in regards to Jim and I having a little section talking about Bloodborn.
I really hope Jim and Alex play through Bloodborn, including DLC someday, because I really do think they're mistaken.
It's way tighter than Dark Souls 1 and actually harder IMO if you include DLC.
level design is almost as good in the boss quality
is much higher. I can see how you prefer
Sekro as it's much more refined
but I do prefer Bloodbourne.
It's also has the best story
and lore IMO, the backbone of Lovecraft
does a lot for it.
I would play it
if it was on something
that wasn't the PS4. If I could just play it
60 frames on something
I would happily play
that game. Yeah that
one fact makes
the game less
tight yeah it just feels worse it's the worst feeling from soft game yeah I did
try dark bloodborn I actually did try it when I when I have the PS4 I tried it
for bit yeah it didn't feel good the lovecraftian aesthetic though is really good in
that game yeah yeah all story stuff sick mm-hmm yeah I would have finished it
if I just had access to it on hardware I didn't just like yeah yeah
our slash jar media left one in response to jim saying that you can't go too far with certain tastes unless it's heat i'd argue saltiness is even harsher a taste when used excessively as someone who's accidentally drank a gulp of water from the dead sea it fucking sucks your entire face feels like it's morphing into ash from the dryness and bottled water literally tastes sweet in comparison the saltiness lasts even longer than something incredibly spicy in my experience there are remedies for extreme spice but
extreme saltiness is another beast entirely.
Beast.
How did this person accidentally drink from the Dead Sea?
Maybe they're on a paddle and they just...
I've accidentally had a mouthful of sea water and, like, swallowed it.
Like, if you're sat, like, in the ocean a bit...
Yeah, no, yeah.
And a wave just catches you and just launches down your throat.
It's just because this is, like, specifically to the Dead Sea where it's just...
Yeah, I've got loads of little kid memories of being in the sea and just a wave.
and just a wave flipping you upside down
and dunking you under the ocean.
Yeah, that's why I don't go near the sea.
That was awesome.
Totally right.
Salt is fucked up.
Like, salt's one of the only things I don't add to my food ever.
Because there's going to be salt in the food anyway.
I don't get when people, like, absolutely cover it with salt after they've made it.
Yeah, it depends on the food to me.
Because stuff like chips and fries and stuff.
See, I prefer my chips and fries with no salt.
No salt at all.
Yeah.
like McDonald's fries
You're right
You're just straight up lying
No no no no no
I'm not like I will still eat it
But I'm saying my preference is like no salt
You go to McDonald's and sometimes you get that
The shit the shit batch where they don't salt it
It's like straight out of the fry into the packs
That's your favourite
Yeah
That's what you want
Because of the salt
That's so fucked up
Because all it is then is like
Tasteless potato
Yeah
They have their like special potatoes
Made to be tasteless and perfect
So they can just cover it in salt
And all you're eating is carbly salt
But I'm just not the biggest fan of salt
I don't really add it on anything
Even when I make meals
I won't ever add it
What did I mean though when I said
You can't go too far with
Tastes other than spice
Oh I didn't know bro
Thinking about that now that's just like
So stupid
Well maybe it was taken slightly out of
I don't know whatever
HJ Day 10
Has our pen ultimate one for this section
Hello, Jarman. I've got some Swindon-based trivia for you.
After Alex spoke about Talking Heads at the beginning of the last episode,
I thought I'd ask if any of you heard of the band XTC, Ecstasy.
They started around the same time as Talking Heads and had a similar style
musically, but they were from Swindon.
The funny thing is, though the lead singer blames being from Swindon for the reason they didn't sell well.
He once said,
Exstasy were clever and came from Swindon, so therefore we were crap.
and their label told them to change their accents and deny their Swindon origins.
I find it funny how Swindon was such a shithole that it may have stopped this band from reaching a bigger audience.
They even have a song called English Roundabout, which was inspired by the infamous Magic Roundabout.
Truly a wonder worthy of a song.
I hope you've enjoyed this little piece of Swindon history.
Definitely check out their album drums and wires if you're interested in them.
Keep up the good workboys.
I have heard of them.
Yeah, I've heard of that story before.
I've heard one of their songs kind of recently, and someone told me,
oh, they're from Swindon, you know, I kind of didn't believe them,
because it was on, like, MTV.
Yeah.
No, I think I know a couple of their songs.
I'm not familiar with that album they're recommended, but...
No.
I'd be willing to listen if they're sort of similar style.
But that's what Swindon does, though, you know?
If, if you're born...
It makes you embarrassed to be from there.
It's like a black hole.
It just tarnishes.
And everyone associated with it wants to just mask it away.
Yeah.
Finally then, I was like slamming the legend of Cora.
You were.
Season two last episode.
There were lots of comments about that.
Actually, largely agreeing with me what I was saying about season two, but there were some people saying things like Matthew Edgehew says it sucks to hear that you didn't like Cora as much.
I agree that the animation in season two has a huge downgrade, which is because they changed animation studios for the majority of episodes, but the original studio returns towards the end of the season, and it returns to its original visual quality.
Season two is by far the worst of all Last Airbender and Chora seasons, but I'd really recommend you stick through it.
Once you get to season three, the quality improves hugely.
In my opinion, it's almost on par with The Last Airbender.
Thanks mostly to the final two seasons villains.
seasons three and four still have their own
self-contained plots unlike the last airbender's
overarching hero's journey story
but I think the final two seasons handle it
much better than the first two
and there are far more recurring plot threads
between seasons three and four than there were seasons one to two
sorry if this comment was a bit long and rambly keep up the good
yogs pogg lads
yeah enough comments were left in this kind of
style that is I think they've convinced me to
really
I can't decide whether to just skip
season two
because I was not liking what I saw a bit
how far through it did you get
I think I was three or four episodes 10
how many is it
10 episode seasons
because in my mind
it's why I have the 30 minute rule
for like bad movies
if there's nothing in that 30 minutes
genuinely nothing
like in no world
is it even going to be good
yeah
it kind of applies for when
just not jelling with the story at all
but do I stick through it because it gets good at some point
or do I just skip to three and just see what I think
I skip to three personally
but there's like the completionist thing where it just feels so wrong
yeah yeah especially with a TV show I don't think I've ever
like skip to season at the TV show
yeah normally it just starts getting bad at some point
or something I just stop
Yeah, I don't know
We'll see
I'll continue at some point
Topics
Before we go into this E3 one
I want to just throw out
What the intro on the video version
Would have been
While I was watching E3 in my living room
Just chilling
Just waiting to see Halo really
See what they had in store
Really boring conference
So I was like sat there
like bored out my mind um and then all of a sudden this huge kerfuffle is boiling hot in the
uk at the moment so the like back door was open fucking paisley i guess is my golden retriever is
like a psycho and she accidentally or not has laid a trap for birds she's turned my garden
into this like hell zone like jabba's palace like underneath it's like that but for seagulls
because she chews on these, like, bones.
There's, like, nothing in them.
It's just the bone part.
She'd just chew on the raw bone,
but she's, like, collected them in the circle in the garden.
And just at this exact moment in the day,
this damn seagull must have seen one of the bones from a certain angle
and just swooped down into the garden trying to get it,
not realizing there was, hey, a little corgi just waiting there,
excited ready to go for it
started chasing it
but then the
the meat
the actual bird killer
it was foreshadowed months ago
with her pigeon
event
she's upgraded to
sea goals
sea goals now
that's the big thing
to take away from this
because
there was debate
as to if she actually
captured that pigeon
herself or if
it just like happened to die
I think this confirms it man
yeah she definitely
because
Because, like, gun dogs, they're meant to go and retrieve a bird that's been shot.
Not like charge a bird that's, like, just briefly landing and killing the thing.
Yeah, she's definitely got high prey drive.
Yeah, without a doubt.
But it was a full-on brawl because sea birds aren't, like, pathetic little pigeons.
No.
It was like...
From a first-hand experience, huh?
Yeah, this is, like, the MCU of Jarrett's, like, the characters.
it's coming together.
Yeah, the seagull from a few seasons ago.
Yeah.
It's the same seagull.
Yeah.
It was trying to, yeah, get revenge in some way,
but it got blasted by a couple dogs.
I don't think it got hurt that, well, I don't know, what happened to it.
It does.
It does look like in the video that she, like, jabs it.
But that's the thing about God and Retrievers,
though, is they're ridiculously gentle.
But I don't know if the pro drive over.
But she literally killed a pigeon, though.
Like, surely, I don't think she was gentle.
enter in that situation.
But in the video, um, you can see she's kind of scared of the, the sharpness of that beak.
Yeah, Peyton isn't going to put much of a fight up, you know.
Well, they were properly fighting it and the only way I managed to break the fight up was, um,
I had to like, rip a headset off and like, stand up and be like, what the fuck say?
No one's gonna believe me.
Um, I had to go get like a scoop of dog food and was like, guys, this is way more interesting, right?
Was it?
Paisley was having like a which do I go for type thing for a bit that she eventually retreated in for the food
so when you went out with the food was the seagull still around the corner they had it like pin like in the video yeah
because at the end of the video it like goes around the corner and you don't see that's it yeah because just shortly after that was when I'd gotten up by then I was running around to
break it up whatever so the seagull flew away yeah yeah this isn't
I didn't have to deal with the body this time.
Yeah.
So it couldn't have been that damaged if...
Well, yeah, it was a big bird and...
She wasn't like in it doing the, like, killer dog thing, you know,
when it's in the mouth and they're shaking out, like...
Yeah, yeah.
She's more cautious of it.
But yeah, that was more exciting than the actual E3 I watched, if I'm being real.
Yeah, E3.
I didn't even watch it because...
And I'm glad I didn't.
It seemed that there was nothing of any interest that was actually...
When saying that, there were a few things I noted down that I like kind of liked.
Yeah, some things piqued my interest, but as a whole, it's made me wonder if, um...
Because from memory, every three is kind of like, you get excited and then you either get disappointed or you're just entertained through pure cringe.
the whole time yeah yeah the cringe epicness balance yeah and the cringe is the cringe
factors kind of gone yeah you needed like Mike's just cutting out randomly and
people in the crowd awkwardly just like a random influencer they get on stage and they
don't tell them what to say they yeah I think I'm getting the vibe now that
E3 is kind of dying all do you I don't know why it's come back I don't know why
they've even bothered to bring it back like they show you
I'm not doing it in person.
Yeah, they showed last year
that you can just do a stream
and get the exact same shit
across.
And with most, more companies doing the own
thing, their own independent, like,
launch, direct day or something.
Did you see how bad some of it went there?
Like, did you see any of the fucking gearbox
stream? Did you see any?
No, I didn't even. No.
It was, it was actually so bad.
Like, there's this section where
Randy Pitchford is, like, he's on set
of the borderlines movie, right?
And he's like,
he's like going around like
let's go find Kevin Hart everybody
and it's like the fucking worse video
um
does he find Kevin Hart
um I went off it before he got to him
um
yeah
he was like interviewing Eli Roth
who's directing it
and it's just so awkward and weird
really
yeah that movie is going to be trash
that movie is going to be awful
do you know I've got more hope for it
than for free guy
Yeah
No, but Jack Black is
Clap Trap
Is it?
Yeah
That's right
Maybe they'll make him
Nah, he's gonna be annoying
Yeah
You can't make that character
I'm not annoying
Yeah totally
But as far as the things
Actually liked
Um
That was new
Actually
I don't know if any of it was new
To be honest
Because like atomic heart
It's been around for ages
Hades has been out for ages
Um
Halo we've known about
The other two I
Noted down was Somerville and
Replaced
One of them is
I think the
Inside Limbo team
Yeah
It really looked like it
Yeah it might not actually be them
So I might be wrong on that
But I can't keep track of all the different names
Of the devs at a certain point
They're so bloody many of them
There was some stuff that
I think Replaced was the one with them
like um green goblin good evening spider-man you know what william defoe yeah willam defoe and a couple other
actors what type of game is it i don't know how i missed this did you not see that um i watched like
the whole stream but really you missed that it was like really clearly the green goblin like
i might have just taken my headset off for like a split second and yeah it was like a time loop game
thing. It seems story-based or, I don't know, seems interesting. And then, yeah, Halo, I was
pretty disappointed by, we will talk about that in the side video, which should actually be
up by the time. This is out. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but I was expecting something big, just one big
thing. Yeah, I thought Bethesda were going to bring it a bit more. Yeah, for sure.
It showed Starfield's thing.
I just remember there was one E3 where it sort of became a common thing where it's like,
this thing is available right now.
Yeah.
So that's the stuff I normally get excited for.
And like even Hades, I was expecting them to say.
Well, the win would have been to do that with Halo flying.
And you can download the beta now.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's another thing I was anticipating the beta announcement.
Yeah, all in all, it's just the same E3 feeling as ever, really.
Yeah, I've not come away excited for anything, really.
Yeah, the only thing that really I'm a lot more excited for now is Starfield.
Yeah, I was a bit more like, oh, I'll give this game a chance, though.
Yeah, with the announcement of them actually, like, updating their end.
engine from Oblivion.
It's like, oh, so they're actually trying then.
Well, no, you can take that different ways.
Because it's either they're going to make a new engine
or they're going to do like the 4-8-4,
which is they're just going to, we make it look nicer.
They've said it's like, I don't know what their engine's called,
but it's called that engine too.
I just hope.
They said the trailer was supposed to be in-game engine, whatever.
that means is that dice or way of saying it or yeah it totally is but i feel like like the
fallout 76 engine you could not stretch that engine to show you the stuff that it doesn't stuff
yeah yeah see and yeah if what bethsda's always nailed is like exploration sort of stuff
and if they can do that on like a planetary level with different planets and shit
could be
yeah but maybe that's too
ambitious
because the good
the thing that works
with you know
fall out
um
skym is the fact that
at the time
um people just said
was too ambitious
like
no but the
it's
you can't cram as much detail
into when it's that big
because they'll just be
bow and lands
because you have to
because you focus all of your attention
I don't mean like
like
literal planets
like
you just mean on a much bigger
yeah just
different maps
so
What really is just the Outer Worlds, the way the Outer Worlds did it.
Loads of different maps and different locations.
Yeah, but not shit.
Outer Worlds was actually announced as well.
Obviously, we've talked a lot about Outer World One and that it was like a proof of concept, really.
Like, you can tell it didn't have the big bucks behind it.
Yeah, which is weird for like a Microsoft own studio.
Yeah, but it wasn't though when they made that game.
Yeah.
It was Take Two, wasn't it?
It became Microsoft own.
Yeah.
During the development of it.
To see if not from the get-govers, when they're kind of laying all down.
I still, yeah.
I mean, I can't comment on, like, the comment of the game, really.
I didn't play it that long because the gameplay is so shit.
The gameplay wasn't the best.
But it's got, it had everything you wanted.
It had all of that character choice and all the different, like, character-based stuff you could do.
And it had the Bethesda charm.
And it's not Bethesda, the new Obsidian charm.
And it's just if they can take that and actually make.
it big with a lot more everything if they can make the gameplay good or just for just never force
you to do it that's my thing with uh like obsidian games like if the focus is story and shit
find a way to make the gameplay about that instead of the the awful gameplay no but they've always
done that there's those of situations in new vagus when you can just talk your way out just you
don't have to get in fights you just have to talk yeah but there's also just like all the
shit where you're walking around like shooting animals
in outer worlds
that's the problem of it
yeah but if they can make that stuff feel really
good then the game would easily
be amazing but yeah
I've got more faith in that than any other game
that was announced at the C-3
really like Rainbow 6 extraction and
the Avatar
the Avatar
Ubisoft
just whipping out the big guns
Ubisoft man
Far cry
six
five six six six no interest looks no
awful I hate the way they
the like the idea is you're like a rebel
overthrowing a fascist dictator
and then it's like
chicken
oh the epic chicken yeah
yeah you get an epic chicken that fights people alongside you
and they did the same thing in five with like the bear
but yeah yeah it's like
because like YouTube thumbnails for like
far cry three with the funny
animal crazy yeah and it's just been there no yeah it's like the idea of like a overtaken like
a really extreme white ring government as a as a rebel like by yourself is actually an
interesting concept you can make that work in a really nice way just not when it's made by
us Ubisoft has it always just been what far cry like the set up it's like a bad guy
an oppressive bad guy you've got to take down yeah the whole gimmick yeah honestly like
Far Cry has
I've written
Far Cry off since
Far Cry 3
Like everyone since
It's just been shit
Maybe Blood Dragon
That was alright
That was Far Cry 3 pretty much
But and then Farquy 2 is the best
Far Cry you can get
That's the best experience
I just hate the way
They use
Levity
It's like they're afraid
To make anything too serious
Because they got
Gus Fring
To be the bad guy
And he's clearly
Gonna
Like
Ubisoft's been bad for that
though, they're like, they seem to be trying to get outvoted on Reddit front page
type of shit, you know, with their games.
I get that from Gearbox a bit as well.
Yeah, totally.
What about Tendo?
Yeah, Beth of the World 2.
Like, what can we say?
It's going to be great.
It's going to be incredible.
It's Beth of the World 2.
It's Nintendo.
Yeah, it's just going to be...
Yeah, it looks cool.
I can't imagine it not just being ridiculously good when it comes up.
Mm-hmm.
it's probably going to make the exact same raves
like the first one did
Twitter is just going to be full of all these people
doing these wacky things with
Yeah the only thing is I think
They're reusing the same map
But like adding more to it
They would have redesigned it to like a certain extent
Yeah but I just wonder if
It won't have the same impact
Because it's going to be the same formula
And once you repeat a formula
It's not like
Depends what tools they give you
Yeah but I mean
I mean, either way, their formula is good as fuck, so it's gonna be a good game.
Mm-hmm.
Was there anything else for that one?
I didn't actually watch the Nintendo one and I just watched that Zelda trailer?
Metroid...
Metroid...
Dred?
Yeah, Dread.
It's like a 2D Metroid.
If it gets good reviews, I'll buy it, but if it doesn't, then...
Whatever, I don't really mind.
I think I've read this, I mean, that...
Yeah, apparently the Metro games aren't even, like, really that big sellers.
They just love within the industry, because they're so important for their design cloud.
Nintendo did just like a bunch of ones I'm not familiar with,
like Super Monkey, Bull, Cruise and Blast.
There's a new Dragon Bull, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Wario got a new game.
Fatal Frame, like, not much, really.
I think the consensus is that it was a good one.
but I don't really care
about, yeah, I'm in the same boat
about a lot of it
so I just sort of
skipped over it
Like the thing I was hoping to come from
and Nintendo stuff was Fire Emblem
because it's been ages since three houses
so it makes sense for a new one to be out
and there's been nothing on Fire Emblem for a while
so
that would have made my hype levels go 10 out 10
you know, better than GTA 5 hype levels
you know incredible hype levels
Boshit
No like no
It was only like a couple years ago
A couple years ago
GTA 5
No the
The houses
The 17 houses
I love three houses
It was only like 10 years ago
Yeah every
GTA
Was 10 years ago
Yeah
No two years ago
Three houses
Yeah two years ago
And I love fire emblem
So I'm gonna be more excited
I always saw fire emblem
It was pretty much annual
Yeah it's every like three
Two three years
That's why I'm like
Like, what the fuck, where's the emblem?
The thing is, with Nintendo, they just do, like, a direct whenever they want to as well.
Yeah, I think they've got one up coming here.
E3 for them is, like, even more pointless,
because they have these regular updates, so...
Do you know, it's actually one thing that when the next GCHA gets announced,
I don't think I'm going to care all that much.
I've kind of passed my, like, what stuff, A's?
Like, Red Dead 2, loved Red Dead 1.
By the time we got to Red Dead 2, I didn't even finish it, didn't even start it.
just, I missed out on it.
And I think it's going to be the same with GtA 6.
We'll see.
Because at the end of the day, I'm probably not going to be able to get it anyway
because, you know, scalpers are still like selling fucking PlayStation's and Xboxes
at stupid prices.
Yeah, maybe in 30 years when the next GTA comes out,
the PlayStation 16 will be...
Do you think PlayStation aren't even there?
Because, because Wachstar cutting the GTA-5 support for the Xbox 3-6,
Do you think that is somewhat leading the way to the next one?
Or do you think it's like they're trying to save money?
They're trying to make more money from less outdoors.
Probably more just maintaining that old version.
It's just a ball lake.
Yeah, like it's pointless now.
The player base probably got to like a low enough point
where they were just like fucking...
The same thing happened with Destiny when that was on 360 PS3.
Yeah, and every game that has multiplayer on like the 360,
they're all just going to be shutting down if they haven't already.
Yeah, I think next year will be the good game, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't ring.
Yeah.
I ain't got much hope in any games.
I just died just, I'm not up to date on games.
I know Warhammer 3 is coming out and I'm gonna play that.
Whee!
Any other E3 beats before the mid-break?
Not really, um, E3 kind of lame.
E3 kind of out of date.
E3 kind of... shit?
E3 is good as they say?
No.
No.
No.
Yes.
Yeah.
Boom, there you go.
Thanks for watching this video. We'll catch you next time next year on the next E3 video.
Boom.
D-da-da-da...
Oh yeah.
Battlefield 2042.
We didn't mention that.
Oh yeah, shit.
Must have left an impression then.
Yeah, whatever.
Fucking Battlefield.
I've got more faith in it because they're like,
there's no fucking campaign,
there's no fucking battle whale shit.
It's just focus on multiplayer,
which is what it should be.
Yeah, that is good.
Yeah, but it's like, you know,
will they actually make the game good?
Yeah, Battlefield 5 was such a shit game.
Whatever.
Also, another thing is like,
Cod? What the fuck is Cod? What Cod are we getting? No, no information on Cod.
World War II.
Yeah. Who even gives a shit? If they combine it to the current generation of the war zone, I, I'm never going back to God, ever. Like, if they can fuck off with this stupid cross-integration.
It's becoming your catchphrase I'm never going back to you.
Yeah. And then you go back to you when the new thing comes out.
No, but no, you know, you know where I'm coming from, that wars,
this cross-integration between multiple different games.
Yeah, it doesn't work.
It's shit.
It doesn't work.
It turns me off of the game.
So if, you know, World War II Vanguard will be the same thing,
and then they'll probably slap Modern Warfare 2 onto it with Modern Affairs 1,
Black Ops, Colesie World War II.
It's like, I ain't got any interest in that.
I'm not going to play it.
Don't blame you.
That's it.
Like two games that don't mean shit anymore.
I'll tell you what means shit.
These messages.
Life can be a dick sometimes.
So get your dick from out your hand.
And don't be a dick, wear a dick.
Dick the head t-shirts available now.
Check the description below.
Um, who wants to intro the question, but...
Boo!
Bo bo-b-b-b-b-bo.
Welcome back to the second.
back to the second part of the jar media podcast where we head over to pet to what
wed it and answer some questions yeah like this one from uh brenden ardy who's going to start
this off in episode 19 of the corncast a question was asked regarding which one of the jarcast
thumbnails would you apply as a tattoo it's got me wondering if you were to have a child or pet
and could only name them after the title of an episode which title
would you pick?
I find these questions so ridiculous
because I have no fucking memory of
any of the titles.
None of them.
I think I'd just call
my child normal.
Fawkes eight. You took it right from my mouth.
Yeah.
Which, how long is it going to take the Jaldings
to figure out the secret surprise?
Well, hopefully before the deadline.
um what is your petal child there called petal child i think we should
couple of cuds and two rocks um what was the snugly snugly snugly cuddly and
snugly snugly and cuddly something like something like that are you on there now james
yeah any uh any notables there is there is quite a good um
things are good ones though.
Like?
The one of the ones I found that I did like was bish and chips.
Sonich.
Sonich improved.
Bish and chips.
There's yes, no and maybe.
That's three.
Maybe then.
Maybe?
Maybe.
I don't know.
Corncast follower has one.
Hello jar mediators.
I just wanted to thank James for his openness and discussions on porn.
The way he's talked about it since all the way back around episode 150 has helped me realize that I had a horrible addiction to it.
My perspective has shifted a lot since.
I'm happy to report that I've gotten over it for the most part and feel a lot healthier now, both mentally and physically.
Thank you, James.
P.S. I have a crush on Jamie, so I appreciate a hello dare from him.
Leave me alone.
yeah no but that's it's good it's good that talking about it makes people realize how
you know their consumption of it and how it is bad and can be bad what if it makes you
happy though yeah corncast follower no doesn't make you happy
food makes you happy so delete your porn hub follower in your yeah buy some freebase buy
some cigarettes, buy some
what else is addictive?
Coffee? Coffee? Coffee. Coffee is addicted.
Free base cigarettes, coffee. That's the trio.
And Coke.
These three easy steps, the quit porn addiction now.
And full fat Coke as well.
Full fat Coke. And crispy creams
pretty often as well.
Yeah, fast food.
Yeah, just go to McDonald's every day.
Especially on November in 2020.
Yes, do that.
The only dick
Pisa, asks, on JARCast episode two, you talk about an old friend who Alex convinced that
gullible meant that you liked animals.
What other stories does Alex, or any of the other jar boys have of messing with people?
Every story related to that person, pretty much?
The main one that I could remember doing, the mischievous antic.
I remember enjoying the most was just the, like, screaming out the window of a
car while it's driving.
Yeah.
I hate that now, though.
I hate that now as well.
People do it to me.
Fucking like fully grown men.
Yeah, no, because I was a child
doing this, like.
And I was never shouting like
rude words or like swear words.
It was just going like,
bleh,
we're whatever.
Fucking juvenile.
No, the worst thing was when
we'd like do that out of the window
to someone. And then the car would
have to like stop it.
It was like, like,
lights.
There's every crossing.
And they're like walking past, like looking.
We're just like, get down low in the seat.
On the subject of cars, you just reminded me of the event we witnessed yesterday.
Oh, dude, we forgot.
Oh, why did we not talk at the fucking hell?
James, please.
I don't know how to explain this.
Jim, you were driving.
You described it.
Well, so there's where we were driving matter.
No, just to ship them.
It's near Swindon.
So you start to put in context
It's in the Swindon
It's like within the
What's the black hole word
The event horizon of Swindon
So we're just chilling
Listen to some tunes
We are chilling
It was like just a peaceful night
Really chill
There was no traffic
It was like 7pm
There's two cars in front of me
What was the make of the
The first was a black Nissan Duke
And the one behind it was a blue Honda Civic
FN2
The Honda Civic which I'm directly behind
yes so we approach the roundabout that enters this place chippers so there's a it's there's
you go straight or you go left yeah there's two exits you know so the the the person directly
in front of me is clearly fed up of the person directly in front of them going too slow so as as the
person at the front starts going the correct way around the roundabout the person in the civic
fucking puts their foot they gun it they gun it they gun it
They'd gun it round the wrong side of the roundabout.
In front of a van mine that was actually approaching the roundabout.
Yeah, there's a van approaching the roundabout who, like, luckily this white van man was a sensible driver, the only one within the ring of Swindon.
And because the...
The Honda was going so fast he couldn't, like, cut it to get into the white lane?
If he had of cut round and properly exited the...
Well, he couldn't properly exit the roundabout at that point, but...
To get where he was going, he had to then mount the curb.
He, I've never seen a car actually in-person on the road.
Get as much air as that did.
Yeah, it bounced high.
It fucking smacked onto the curb and launched itself.
Straight down.
Karma, the best showcase of karma I've ever seen.
As soon as it smacked down, the Hazard's lights came on and it was slowing down.
Once we're on the way back, we went there.
and it was abandoned on the side of the road
clearly fucked
the car was fucked
they fucking destroyed their car
they ramped their car
basically over a roundabout
just to get in front of one person
and then fuck their car
in the process
it's a miracle they didn't
cause like an awful accident
how many weeks ago was I complaining
about bad drivers in the chip in a area
yeah yeah
I've I watched a dash cam videos
I love watching dash cam videos
I've never seen something so perfect as that
where it's the shitty thing to do
and then the exact karma
in the exact same situation.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was a perfect
example of why you don't drive
like an absolute fucking ass
where you go around the roundabout
the correct way. Yeah.
Not the opposite way.
And when it happened, I just stopped
at the roundabout. There was nothing coming
but I was so thrown off
because in my mind, you just
can't go the wrong way around a roundabout.
Yeah, yeah.
It does not...
It's flowing like water.
It's like a river just suddenly going in the wrong way, yeah.
Yeah, so...
And then I started driving and I missed the actual bounce bit, so I didn't see how much it...
I just started screaming because I knew what happened.
I just instantly saw those hazards, and I was just screaming as loud as possible, like, laughing at his fucking cock.
I can't believe we nearly forgot to mention that.
I know.
I just wish we had a dash cow.
I know.
Because that would have been the fucking best thing.
If it was your car...
Maybe if it was my case, it was me, me on the other side of the last minute.
But no, fuck me, it was incredible.
I hope the police, like, saw him, like, well, the fucks is going on.
Well, yeah, I hope the person who was perfectly in the right,
just going around the roundabout normally stopped and, like, called the police.
Because that person driving should never drive again.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's no reason for doing what they did.
No.
You shouldn't be flying, like, up and down the curbs.
and there was plenty of time
before this to overtake that person
there's a bunch of clear road there
no the thing is that we were doing the speed limit
we weren't doing like 30 and a 50
we weren't doing 40 and 50 we were just obeying the speed limit
there was no issue like I
I always notice speed because I'm always like
working all I'm head like we were fine
no issue at all perfect driving conditions
perfect speed everything so why the fuck would you do that
he could have just gone left
the person he was overtaken was going straight
go left
but the empty roads that way
yeah like people it's like the thing we've talked about before
monkey brain in a fucking car they're just like
they want to they want to show off as well
they want to be they want to make that person know
that they're overtaking them
but all they accomplished was letting that person know they're the biggest
fucking cock
in the world
in their car yeah and it would be expensive
to a place because they would have fucked possibly the oil pan
the suspension, the tires, the wheels.
Yeah, and is insurance even going to cover that
if they actually know what happened?
They take a look at it
and because there won't be any physical damage of an impact,
how, if you go to insurance, it's going to be like,
can you replace this or I've had this accident?
And they look at it and they only see suspension
and engine damage.
Yeah, it's like, what did you do?
Yeah, it'll be...
Why did your car leave the ground?
Yeah, like...
And it's like, I'm glad this person had a genuine walk of shame home.
Yeah.
Because their car was fucked
and they had to walk.
I hope it's still there
when I'm ex and chippinxes.
Yeah.
Because I would,
I'd actually leave a note
and be like,
I saw what you did,
you fucking cop.
Just leave it on their screen.
No,
the sharing
Anne Warrior has one for us.
An awesome, like,
just classic
who is who type question.
And the kind of
Harry Potter way,
you know,
with the stupid houses
and everything.
It's one of these
style questions but for um
a relevant topic we've been talking about
question for Alex but that other boys
may answer to
would you like to be a fire, water, earth
or air bender
oh
I know enough to also answer this
and Jim does too
I think I have to be fire
I gotta be flamer dude
I guess in that vein I must be
ice so I'll be water
yeah yeah
What's James?
Air.
Why?
See, I, my instinct is Earth for James.
Yeah.
Why, Earth for me?
You're quite earthen.
No, because I imagine you, like, working on your car by, like, huge blocks of rock, like, coming out of the ground,
and you're, like, lifting your car up so you can go underneath it.
Okay, yeah, that makes completely sense.
That is the perfect...
Fuck.
Yeah.
Just flame that's got.
to come out, I'm afraid.
Yeah.
Yeah, water bending is lame until, like, the ice stuff comes in.
The ice and blood stuff.
Yeah, well, I haven't seen the blood stuff, but, like, ice, ice is cool, fire is cool, water, lame.
Do you think so?
I think water bending's cool.
I think they're all cool.
Yeah, just, just breaking down the actual elements.
Water is always the lamest.
Yeah, it tastes fucking yummy.
Yeah, I love it.
I love water.
It's my favourite out of the elements in terms of consumption.
You can also heal with it though in an avatar.
It's like a healing thing.
True.
Heal my fucking exma.
Yeah, maybe actually being a water bender would be sick.
Yeah, just have perfect skin.
Bubba Ducky has a fucked up one.
Hello, American James here from the past to debate.
Felt really surreal hearing you guys talk about your friends.
giving into a weird Catholic cult and in being out of your lives back when I first listened to that jar cast.
But this week my friend died at the age of 22 from heart disease.
How do you guys deal with unstoppable changes in your life?
Are there any jar equivalence for you that have helped you get through a rough time?
I might end up using strange overtones for a tribute video to be played at the funeral, by the way.
Thanks, Alex, reminded me about that masterpiece my friend probably loved.
He was an intense talking heads fan.
sorry to hear that bro that's fucking horrible um i don't think anyone any of us has ever lost anyone
yeah not like that um but you got keep moving forward it's just the day by day take each day
as it comes i guess you know i think it's it's hard to give advice because
you know we've given advice things before with like mental health and all this by
I think those situations are so, like,
a lot of people can't ever compend them until it happens.
Until you've got that experience.
Because with mental health,
if you've got a certain amount of empathy,
you can still support people when they're struggling.
But with that is one of those things where I don't know what or what I can say about it
because it's so, like, I kind of begin to understand it, you know.
But it's just like it's the best I can do is to do, you know,
follow the normal advice like with mental health.
is to just take it slow, you know, just try and focus on the same thing.
And like, I guess, try and to not, like, mask anything you're actually feeling about it.
Yeah, be open to people.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it's a fucked up thing.
Yeah, it's like, even the concept of it fucks me up.
If I think about you, like, if you dying, I'm like, yeah, this is, I can't, I can't even begin to, like, comprehend this.
It will just fuck me up, like, so bad.
Well, seeing as we're already on fucked up topics, so George is not okay as one.
Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you guys feel self-conscious about your body image or physical health often.
That's because I've been trying to exercise by walking often, going for runs, doing circuits and all that stuff.
But for some reason, I can never shake the thought I'm way less fit than everyone else.
I'm guessing from social media and that sort of stuff I've gotten this really unrealistic, ideal body image in my head.
And I constantly compare myself to it even if I'm having.
actually pretty healthy.
Just eat some crap sometimes they'll have a good curse lads.
Yeah, self-consciousness is like a hard thing to kick.
It is almost like a habit.
Yeah, I mean, the answer is yes, obviously.
Yeah, it's yes.
I've talked about it before where, like, in that early jar clip where my
my legs are just like twigs.
In that era, I thought I was, like, overweight.
Yeah, that's crazy.
So it's always been something I've been trying to deal with.
Yeah, it's been something that's been more on my mind recently
because you guys know that I'm like,
I say a lot about sugar content now,
and it's like, you know, I'm trying to...
I'm eating much healthier as I've ever been, like,
you know, I always eat for, like, snacks and all that's out of my diet.
It's all, like, fruit, you know, vegetables and most meals and, you know, yogurts and whatnot.
Like, I try to eat the best I can.
I exercise constantly, but it's still, like, it's still in my head that the biggest thing,
and I think the way body image works now, you know, with Instagram and whatnot, it's, like,
normal things, like, you just, your stomach will have a certain amount of, like, just kind of roundness.
It's, like, completely healthy the way your stomach is, your belly, but it's, like, because
of Instagram, you've got these fucking actors that, like, paid.
Yeah, they don't say in, like, the bio, like,
Sorry about my like water weight this morning
Like I drank like there's a water today
You know what I mean
It's usually the opposite
Like I didn't drink water for two days
So I could take an awesome picture
Films contribute to it as well
Yeah
Films
Especially now with like the way Marvel actors have to look at shit
When Kamail Nijiani is like just
Some side character getting shredded
For like
Yeah just
Cut to ribbons
And it's like with stuff like that
Is they can only do that
because they're getting paid to
they've got all the nutritionists
I've said this before
I've had arguments of people online
because they'll putapy thing
and it's like I know people
who do like personal trainers and whatnot
and I've asked them and they've been like
yeah you can't really do that at home
and all these people have this idea
that you can achieve this obscene
like low body fat and pure muscular
like body with like a home gym and whatnot
where it's like no
if you want that body you've got to dedicate yourself to it
that's your hobby no Xbox no junk food no nothing
it's gym you know and that's not like when you're working nine to five every day
you're not going to go home and do all these like 22 hour sessions like you if that's your
thing then yeah like i've got i've got respect for anyone who's like super into fitness and
that's their thing i you know i respect that but to put this onto like normal like the the fact
that if you don't have that body it's like you know you're unhealthy and all of this when that's
not the case at all you know it's like yeah because we were talking yesterday about
how in the sort of late 90s
early 2000s, how
different the beauty standards were
and it was about like
your Paris Hilton kind of
super skinny thing
it's always
constantly changing the
more it's considered
attractive at the time. I'd say
it only changes as much
for women than it does men.
I think back in that time
all the hotty men
were thinner.
less ribbed.
They were like bodybuilders like Arnie and stuff,
but I don't think they were really sex symbols
in the same way.
It was like those of boy bands and stuff like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Whereas now it's sort of
due to Marvel and stuff.
People like Chris Hemsworth and
Superman.
Oh, Henry Cavill.
Well, I showed you a picture the other day
of what Chris Hemsworth arms
look like for the new Thor.
and it's like just getting ridiculous
some of this stuff
it's the whole thing
it fucks with me quite a lot
because like I'm quite skinny
like I'm lanky I'm tall
and I'm not bit like the thing is
no matter with all body standards and all this
everyone's different everyone has different genetics
which means then instantly going to be a different type of body
I am just thin and long
I cannot help that you know
I've eat so I eat really help well
and I exercise and it doesn't change anything
this is just how I
am and it's like why should I beat myself up because I'm not one of these fucking
whipped dudes because I just can't gain that the way they can and I've tried you
know I've done all these powders and protein stuff my body doesn't change and I
still work out regularly I still do constant exercise and it just doesn't because
that's the way my body am and I just bully myself the fact that I've got a little bit
of fat here and all that but I don't yeah that that thing of like looking at
yourself in the mirror and like really analyzing shit and
No one's looking at you under the microscope the way you do
because they're too busy looking at themselves
and feeling the exact same shit.
And it's hard.
I mean, it's near impossible.
When you're, like, in a social situation,
like, you're, you behave to, like, fit in shit, you know?
And so, yeah, for sure.
People aren't going to look at you and, like,
oh, he's wearing those fucking lame-ass socks.
although he's wearing this shit
and not that shit
he looks a bit chubby today
so people don't think like that
but in your head
like people do
because you're thinking it
I've spoken to you before
but it's like
with this there's always influence
for other people
I've always been skinny
I grew up with my parents
constantly pointing out that I'm skinny
all the time for fucking
15 years of my life
to like 18 actually
all the time skinny skinny skinny
Then I reach post like two years ago
And I'm trying to put on weight
Because I lost fuck done
And it's like oh I'm fat
My same parents are now calling me fat
And I'm only like 11 stone
Like what the fuck does that do to a developing mind
When it's like you're too skinny
You're too fucking fat
And then I was getting all the fat comments
And it was just like
I'm now super healthy
I've lost weight since then
And then I'm getting comments from like friends
That are like oh people are saying
You're too top heavy
Like how the fuck
Can anyone fucking work
can have confidence in their body when you're getting
all these different contrasting opinions all the time
like one of the biggest things I had as a
like a teenager was I never wear shorts
because I was so paranoid about my legs being thin
so I never wore shorts
that's why I always wore like trackies
and that's why I used to say to you like oh
I always wear trackies jeans there for chavs you know
it all comes back to that like fear of like showing my body
even now I can't really go to a beach because I'd be so
paranoid about my body
even I have no reason to
no reason at all
yeah because it would have been drilled into your head
yeah and it's like the best thing you can do for someone's body
my parents still do this for my sister
and they still do it at the time and I get fucking pissed
but you never make you never
ever make comments about someone else's body
ever doesn't matter if they're your best friend though your family
just don't let them just work the way out
the way they will feel about the body
what do you want to like compliment them say
yeah no as a negative
don't say negative things about someone's body
ever
like even if even if
what if someone like
had like a bad haircut for example
how'd you handle that
all the time
no no but no that's different
I think hair different
because you can control what you do
with your hair you can't control your body
you know yeah so you can
make comment like if you say my hair
looks shit I'll just be like yeah I know
because it it does you know but it's like
if you're saying like my body looks shit or I look
fat or skinny
that plays message of the mind more
I think you know there are more yeah like more
sensitive ways you could approach
things like that
yeah but it's like you know
there's people out of they say shit to that
their partners and it's just like
you're not really understanding
of like any of that type of stuff
with the way the brain works
if you're making those comments
I think you can all
you can do everything positively
instead of critique in someone's body
you can just like show an interest in them
and what they're doing
and you know if they're like going to gym
you can tag along you can be like
a positive reinforcement to change
instead of being you know negative
Because the change has to come from the individual.
It's so well and good everyone around you.
It's just saying whatever they feel.
If you can't take it on board in any constructive way, yeah.
It just will drive you insane.
Yeah, and we missed out on that huge chunk of social media when we were younger too.
So I don't even know how insane it's scintin with that kind of shit.
No, he's bad.
It's really bad now
I just feel sorry for especially young girls
With the way it is on Instagram
It's like
That shit's hard
And it's gonna have consequences
When they're much older
The thing is as it shifts
To more of
Everyone's life being like
Shown online
It
It's not just about appearance
It's about
Look at this house
This person
Yeah
Look at this car
Yeah
It already is
Yeah
But I mean, like, it's...
Because some people, they're genuinely, have dedicated their entire lives to the...
Nothing but the image.
But I feel like it needs to be more about, like, you and your own self and what you're looking for.
Yeah.
Otherwise, it's fucking pointless.
Never be satisfied.
All these people that show themselves off is, like, just fucking stunning all the time and shit.
It's, like, bullshit.
Oh, yeah.
It's so fakerable.
more than ever and it's just
going to keep going in that direction
where people just have
like a 3D render of their
ripped body
then they can be fat for the rest of their life
and they'll just hide in a hole
and post pictures of them
with their six pack in a Lamborghini
yeah their digital implant
they'll be perfect
yeah and it's all pointless
it's just the thing is
is just to enjoy the way you live
just enjoy the way you live
how you want to live
you know
don't worry about
what other people think ever
even if it's hard to do
you just have to enjoy yourself
yeah and making like an effort
to be healthy too
yeah no we like you know what
I wouldn't talk about like
porn addiction if I wasn't trying to be like
to make people aware
but it's just like living healthy
is a very good thing
it's like it means you enjoy life more
because you've got you just you know
your mind in a better place
and you're physically in better place
If you know you're doing that sort of stuff, I feel like, um, you, you just don't worry about it as much.
Mm-hmm.
If you're actively, you know, not eating a packet of wine gums of an evening.
Yeah, yeah.
Then, yeah, I don't know.
Maybe that's the opposite.
Maybe if you're thinking about not eating something.
Obama's gaming, one, two, three, four has this to say.

My brother and I were talking about the new battlefield
And how disappointed that it was not so during the Vietnam War
However, that got us both thinking
Is it insensitive to depict a real war in a video game
Many games have come out in the past few years
They have depicted past wars
And have actively encouraged the character
To murder their opponents
Does that not glorify these events
I had never thought of this before
And I'm somewhat conflicted
Any insight would be appreciated
how do you feel
I think I've always disagreed with you guys on this
I've always felt weird about
is it glorification
if you're playing a medieval
real battle
no
then why is it
it depends
it depends what we're talking about
because
um
I specifically have a
more of an issue with like the aesthetic of like modern military like our real lives
being I don't know it's specifically call of duty in a call of duty audience that makes me
feel weird yeah um but knowing it's the I just find it sad I guess that the biggest video game
and the most successful video game is the one that celebrates the imagery of like atrocities
that we commit and everything.
Yeah, there's a disconnect, but, I mean, in that vein.
So World War II is fine?
Well, here's the thing, though, because it's more complicated than that,
it's deeper than that, because there are modern military games
that do like that handle it with care.
Specops.
Like, Speck-ups here, we've mentioned Speck-ups a few times,
but Speck-Ops is such a...
An exception, I feel like...
But thinking just multiplayer,
how do you send a message that war is bad
while making it a war game?
Yeah, I...
And that's why I just don't play them.
I don't enjoy existing in that.
I get why people do.
For me, I want to...
I want to go into video games to escape
that kind of fucking real-world horror conflict shit,
but I get it.
Planes and cars and tanks are cool and stuff.
Yeah, to me it's so disconnected, for the most part, with modern military stuff that, like,
the stuff you're doing in the game is, it's just not realistic in any form.
Oh, no.
It's just pure fiction using the setting of, like, the technology we have now.
And to me, that's it.
Because one thing I think Call of Duty should do is tell better stories.
Because, like, modern warfare...
Maybe that's what it is.
The latest modern warfare has the most, like,
like Western military jerk off.
Like, yeah, they commit atrocities, yeah, but they have to.
That's the message of modern warfare.
And I think that's a fucking terrible one.
On the subject of this, you wear of the Fallujah game?
Yeah, I am.
That's like...
Made by ex-Bungy people.
I find that to be disgusting.
um it's called again the six like six days in phleuja yeah and what is the game so phillusia was the
the last stronghold of like saddam hussein loyalists in like the iraq war and that's where like
the last part of the war was there and it was the american invasion of that to like and they
coincidentally if you look up the founding of ISIS it's in the same place it's like they're
trying to depict it as like this whole like is it a single player game
Yes, I think so, but it's like supposed to take this like really hard like American, like pro-American view on it and it's like you shouldn't even been there in the first place.
Like I think that's the worst for it of this like American glorification of a war.
They really shouldn't even have been in in the first place.
Yeah, that adds another layer of complication to it though because then we're getting into the territory of like you're stopping stories being made or enjoyed.
This is what I was going to say.
I don't think a story shouldn't be told through video games just because, like, it's sensitive or whatever.
It's on the person making, or the people making the story to tell it in a way.
But it's also clearly what people want.
It's popular for a reason as what people want.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's...
Humans have just always been fascinated with conflict.
It's why video.
video games, bar very few, are just about killing.
Mm-hmm.
That's what you do in the majority of them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But this person mentioned that is it just not possible to make stories based on real conflicts now?
The question was about Battlefield 2042, right?
Well, they was disappointed it wasn't set in Vietnam.
Yeah, Vietnam is tricky, especially, because of how blurry that.
conflict was
not really blowy at all like I don't
yeah that was just
I've
that's one I feel wrong about
because it's like all of it
it's always depict America as like
you know
like the good guys you know
well the best Vietnam movies do the opposite
yeah but I don't find
it's never been translated to games though I don't think
I guess it's just an inherent
contradiction is having the fun
awesome bombastic gameplay around explosions
and real guns
and stuff.
Killing, you know.
And yeah, you have to be using them.
I mean, I guess what always just rings in my head is just thinking about how many young kids were like obsessed the Call of Duty to the degree where it seemed to be like they wanted to be soldiers and shit.
Which is what a military's pry off.
They're making everything to look like Call of Duty Cs and drops.
Everything.
All the advertising.
They're trying to do that.
They're trying to get that audience.
yeah i don't know man it's just not my thing i've never really been into that whole
like war games stuff
but i do i do think you should be able to tell whatever story you want
like as long as it's genuine and true um you feel like you have something to say
i guess that's what it is because with your like cods and stuff that i
they're such products they're such like huge scale they do that that thing that
Ubisoft always says where it's like, oh, we don't have a political opinion on this.
Which is bullshit because they're like editing out, um, they were editing out footage of
out of cod trailers that was showing sensitive stuff from China, wasn't it?
Yeah, and it's like, how is it not political when the first thing you do in modern warfare
is, what is it, you phosphorous, you white phosphorus, like a group of, um,
mm-hmm, middle-easterns.
Mm-hmm.
what modern warfare
the latest modern warfare
when I have no
the first mission
you're in the forest
no Russians
are they Russians
yeah
okay well
even that's political
using white phosphorus is political
the story is about
no it's not it's just used a smoke screen
it's just a smoke screen okay
yeah and like
chemical weapons and shit
Just the fact
They made the story based in a fictional
Middle Eastern country
But putting it in the Middle East
It's political
It's political
Oh I didn't know it was like fictional
It just looks like just straight up
Yeah I'm pretty sure they made like a fictional
Yeah yeah
Country for it
I could be wrong
It's this idea of glorifying
That is super interesting
Because
We talk about like pink floyd the wall a lot
um a big part of that movie that story is like satirizing like fascists like Nazis
but in real life that became for a small sector people like a new imagery a new thing to
like a new identity to wrap themselves around like people find their thing and it doesn't
necessarily it's not necessarily the fault of the original for just sort of commenting on no it's not
but I think you can
make bad commentary
yeah for sure
yeah
I just don't trust them
and Activision and all of it
yeah
but this person is right
a Vietnam battlefield game
would be way better
than 2042
see I don't think they can
because there's already been
a battle for Vietnam
and then there's been
the Battle for Vietnam expansion
of BC2
yeah why can't they
they've made World War II games
before they made five
because I think
Battlefield to get back
on the top it needs to be modern
No, because they got back on top by making
a World War I game
And then they went off the top by making a World War II game
A bad World War II game
Yeah, so they need to make a good modern day one
And then go back
It's not modern day though, it's future, the thing that everyone is over
And
It's just fucking boring
It's so boring when Battlefield and
Cod are doing the same thing
yeah because that was
such a cringe game at era
when Battlefield 4 was coming out
Battlefield 3
sorry 3 yeah that's right
yeah the two 3s
yeah god it was even older than I was thinking
Christ
see I just prefer shooters like Apex now
you can just do more with that
because it's like it's not trying to be
modern and edgy
it's just like silly robot
boom yeah that's another thing
a lot of the time
like mechanics can be
dragged down by the area you set it in
like if you
like Halo is so much more fun
than the
Halo 3 is more fun than the latest modern warfare
and the latest modern warfare is like vehicles and shit
that multiple people can get in
not fun
shit
shit is all it is
yeah and like in the
the 50 calibre guns on the top of like a tank in battlefield four useless yeah because
because it's a game people can just shoot you out the top of it and you don't get kills because
you're on a tank you know the tank does all the stuff that is a fun part so it's like it's not
designed to fit into a game it's just put into a game because it's in real life yeah interesting
topic, though. You lose, like, balancing as well
when you've got to have all these
completely hot, accurate vehicles.
And just make things all
fucking sci-fine, fucking creative.
Things are better that way. Yeah, make sure it's fun.
Yeah. That's the priority.
Make games fun again.
I mean, it's not the priority
with every video game, but...
There's that, yeah, I totally get it
because there's a huge sect of gaming
that is all about, like, simulations
and wanting to
simulate things that you would never be able
do and wanting to go into a simulation to like go into like a firing range or something and fire
a real gun i like get i get that um yeah i think that at some point the further simulations
go along there's going to have to be a like a line game simulations yeah yeah because like
these like fishing simulators these farming simulators these truck simulators like they're
like people joke about them but they're fucking huge yeah when they're photo realistic
mm-hmm yeah I like to me like no matter how extreme you make a racing simulator it's
always going to be a game because at the end of the point all these professional racing
drivers they all practice on waste simulators genuinely the act of a race is a game as well there
inherently yes it's like that's always going to be a game to me even when it's like so
extreme because it's still kind of casual it's just like I want to drive on a track
boom then you can go do your stuff just not when you're killing midreastin leasing people in the
simulator game like you know that's what I mean like that but can that also go too far because
I recently played some of Resident Evil 5 yeah she's I remember a controversy from when that came out
because it's set in Africa um that that was it was like inherently racist because the zombies were
like black people yeah and you're playing as like a white guy yeah which doesn't make sense
but I didn't get the vibe that it was it was like trying to be racist or
It just seemed like they were in Africa.
Yeah, no, that is one of the most laughable, like, articles.
Yeah, I think, from what I've seen, like,
I think the, like, the visual style of the start of that game in New New York is really cool.
Like, a whole game.
Yeah.
But it's like, games journalism does just destroy any nuance from these kind of conversations.
But what the implication is, because they wanted a story where the character of Chris,
Redfield, it's like
the end of his story
and they were like, let's base it in Africa
and then
so the journalists would have preferred
it if they based it in Africa
and had no black zombies
which would be way weirder.
Yeah, it would be just stupid
so then
the other option is
make a new character
and just like have a totally
different story or I guess don't base
it in Africa but like
I find that type of criticism silly when it's the game
he punches a fucking bolder and fights this huge monster
like his fucking Resident Evil, why does it matter?
Yeah, that one is always stuck in our mind
for just being like such a non-issue
maybe there's something in the other part of the game I haven't played
but from the half of the game I play, nothing.
There's nothing
like even remotely racist about the game.
It's Resident Evil.
Yeah, it's like a bunch of nutter Japanese dev.
Just like doing what they want
Let's end on this one from
Bill Hader gaming
And this is huge
I've been saving this
I was re-watching the Jalcast
Featuring Shreddies
The Incredible Fart Filtering Underware
And though I thought I'd visit their website
To see what the Noble brand was up to today
To my astonishment
I found their most recent product
The Car Banana
It's a banana-shaped beanbag of sorts
that is designed to sit between the buttocks not too deep
and absorb gases before they escape your underwear.
There's only one size,
but supposedly you're still able to walk slash waddle around
your busy day like usual,
just with a beanbag strapped to your cheeks
like an overgrown tailbone.
It's the natural evolution to shreddies,
but can you imagine the raw power made available
by combining it with yesterday's shreddy technology?
My question is when can we expect a 45-minute dissertation
on whether the car banana is as good as they say
why is it called a car banana
because I guess the car
because that was the gimmick with the Shreddy's Under
the carbon lining thing
yeah yeah
because it looks like a banana
it looks like a banana which I thought was fucking weird
is it not supposed to be used in a car like a car journey
because that's how I took it no you just whenever you need it
no a carbon banana car banana
yeah carbon
No, this is weird.
This might actually be the future of human, like, evolution.
Because, no, like, what's always been funny, butt cheeks?
Butt cheeks are funny.
This thing fills in the cheek.
So it's just, like, one thing.
Don't you hate that it's, like, weird jar banana thing as well?
Like, it's all, like, linked.
Oh, yeah, we get yellow one.
Well, they have a picture of banana as reference, I guess.
A car banana?
No, a real banana.
Oh.
Down there, Lord.
Oh, right.
I don't think it'll work, personally.
Well, 20 quid, and we can find out.
20 quid and we can find out.
We can fart in it all day.
Do you put it up your butt or?
Yeah.
No.
What if, um...
That's the ultimate, like, that's the peak Shreddy's technology.
Some, like, thing you actually pull up your butt that, like, just absorbs all your farts.
So surely the shreddies aren't good anymore
When you could just buy a car banana
Well, it depends
Ideally you'd have both
Yeah
Or is this an underwear replacement
So you don't need to wear underwear
No but surely that is probably more comfortable
Than shreddy's underwear
With that huge layered
I don't know
It's like trading a nappy for
A banana
Just in your ass
There's only
one thing we can do
test it
you do love bananas
James
I haven't had fun in a few days
oh
I'm down
shredies hit us up
hit us up with your carb banana
we'll test it
boom
I hated that
yeah we can
whip out the
the minion onesies
and get our banana
and they can sit down
and
I don't want to put things between my cheeks
Yeah, that sounds uncomfortable
Yeah
Especially something the size of a banana
That's
That's big
Yeah
How far do you push it into your cheek
Like as far as it can go
So then it's encompassed by the cheek
Or is it just on the entrance
Yeah, this is why I mean
It sounds uncomfortable
Yeah, I'm not
Surely the priority is just covering the sphincter
but you've got to have like a vacuum
between
the the
the carb banana and the cheek
the anus and the um
the
the lands between
I got a shit on my car banana again
yeah no that's what I was thinking
because if you had a
little bit of a shitty ass
because underwear doesn't touch your asshole
I've got a feeling the car banana
if you have a really shitty
ass and you don't wipe it all properly
or like gun is
you're like gunggy in between
but what happens when you need to go to a toilet
and it goes straight in the toilet
because it's in forget that it's there
it comes in black and white
and no one buys the white one
you know that
that can't end badly
not with my like fucking post like
kebab fucking pooy ass
I just find it funny
because they're like designing this stuff
with specific people in mind
you know that like suffer with these kind of things
so yeah here's your solution
fucking
shove this banana between your legs and fucking let rip into it
and the carbon will sort it out
maybe there's like a fan out there
that's like it's the lifesaver
who knows
maybe I hope so
I hope we helped at least one person
who stinks of shit
to not stink of shit anymore
should I tweet on the jar
media Twitter
have you ever
got shit on your car banana
just with a yes or no vote
anyone that owns one has got shit on it
you can't not get shown it whether it's visible or not
it's that and it's waiting
I'm surely it's washable right
I don't know this is what the deep dive is for
we need to just get one and
like read the instructions
yeah I
I have no hope in it
Here we go
I'll read the description
New for 2020
The Car Banana is an innovative product
Design with air travel in mind
It offers you discrete protection
When you need it most
The Car Banana can also be worn anywhere
Like the car
The Office or Public Transport
Helping our customers
Avoid potential embarrassment
Cleaning security scanners
The Car Bonara can be placed
In the hand luggage trays
And worn once you've cleared security
the banana shape of the product
is designed to sit between the buttocks
and absorb gases before they escape your underwear
Wait can I just say one thing
Have you ever smiled fart on an airplane
I haven't because there's like
The scientific truth is that
Like food tastes different because you don't have
You can't smell as much of it
Like you can't smell things in planes
So like I've never smelled a fart
So why does it matter for air travel
But they're saying
So you're on your way to the plane
you're going through
the security
so you've got to take it out
you've got to take it out your ass
put it in this thing
walk through the gate
yeah get scanned
and then just chuck it back
yeah but what happens if you forget
and you walk through
and they detect it
and then they detect
something
they're like
oh no because if it's up your bum
they're going to think it's drugs
so you're going to go for the full
fucking strip search
and it's like oh
no it's a car banana
you don't know how many times
we hear that.
The new slang's getting crazier than ever.
But surely that's a good
rage of traffic drugs.
Take out all the inside
for a lot of cocaine.
No, guys.
It's just my car banana.
I think that's it, guys.
Okay.
Thank you.
