Starting point is 00:00:04 That whole um what's her name Skyla Skyla white is there's usually like per show there's an a character that gets unreasonable and the character and character that gets an unreasonable about of like online hate you know I feel like that's I'm starting to see that a little bit with um Adam Eve Atomive yeah yeah which I guess it's spoilers to talk about it anyway yeah um I just don't really like it when women do things media. I just kind of don't like it when women aren't hot. Five, two, four, two, let's go. Good up to the morning, evening or night. Ladies and gentlemen, ah, ah, ah, um, I'm welcome to Brocast Season 7, Episode 16. I'm Alex, joined by Jim. I'm, um, off-camera. remixing. No, I was pretending to do the voice. Oh, okay. No, you could do that. Someone had a good suggestion where they were like, you know, invite Boogie onto Jha and just have Jim pretend to be me for the whole interview while I'm just sat here like in silence. Hey, boogie, how you been? I heard you got cancer, Boogie. Was that totally real and above board? Did Boogie have real
Starting point is 00:01:33 cancer? I think he had like really fake version. Oh. I don't know. I hope he's okay now. Boogie. I hope you're okay out there in this harsh world. There's a harsh world for boogies like us.
Starting point is 00:01:49 It's a harsh word for boogers out there. Buggy neck. It's not a harsh world for booger necks. But how about this? How about this? How about we do one of the old day type of routines. An old day.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Let's do one of those old day routines. What's an old day? You're looking pain. What's happening? Oh! You're having one of those panic attacks again? Fuck. It's okay, Mario.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Okay, out of nine, how do you rate the panic attack depiction in a merry galaxy? Out of nine? Yeah. Like seven? It's sensitive. Really? Wow. That's quite hard. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:34 He's like, mama, me My mushroom made me too big. I hate too many mushrooms. Yeah. I'm freaking out, dude. Um, okay, here's a really valiant question for you.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Yeah. 7 out of 9 equals what out of 10? 7 out of 9. Divide the 6, carry the 4. What's happening, dude? We didn't even get to the bit. We haven't gone... I feel like the first few minutes is just, like, building up to the...
Starting point is 00:03:13 Well, the thing is, we started talking about... And then you said that we aren't allowed to do that. You can beep that one. So then it kind of puts me in a position where I'm like, I don't know what I'm allowed to say. Well, the censorship. The problem is with the beeping thing is that some jarlings have learned to read lips so they can read the beeps now.
Starting point is 00:03:36 So we've got to get more invent tile. Okay. Beep it and use CG graphics to make my mouth look like I'm saying the end word. Okay. That's a good idea. AI it. Yeah. Do you know what every episode of Jal feels like for me?
Starting point is 00:03:56 What? You know like when Circee Lannister's like stripped naked and has shamed. Shame. Yeah. Ding. Shame. Why are you doing this to be Jarliggs? Why are you throwing your nice rotten fruits at me?
Starting point is 00:04:09 Yeah. Why? I don't even like tomatoes. Um, right, before we get too deep into the show, let me shout out the patrons over the Jiam Media. Patreon. The most powerful people of all. They are demigods on their way to becoming gods. That's the tier system.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Once you pass certain tiers, you, you know, demigod to Uno. God, Una God. Una. Una God. Yeah, they make the show and audio version of possible. You get the raw, unfiltered MP3, ad free,
Starting point is 00:04:47 which you can sort of upload. You can click on the list. Stop looking at me like that. You can click the link. No, there's no click-clinking. There's no lick-linking. Fucking dude um
Starting point is 00:05:05 oh what was this I'm like completely stunned locked that was some I'm like a power move yeah I'll give you some
Starting point is 00:05:19 credit where it's due normally you're like really good at the like you know the the patron segment yeah that was the worst one ever the Una god
Starting point is 00:05:33 yeah no but I think I think Unagod combined with a picture of your face doing that yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:05:42 that's given this some form you know but that from me was kind of involuntary it was like unagod
Starting point is 00:05:49 yeah reacting to that and then when you have someone looking at you like that you do just kind of like
Starting point is 00:05:58 you're on the spot all of a sudden yeah like yeah Yeah. So I guess what I was trying to say is that you can see Paisley's chance. You can see Paisley's chance, but also, you know, put it on your podcast host of choice, your Spotify's or Podbeens or whatever, as well as your patron names being read out in the first or second week of each month, if you're a debby tier or above, as well as Jaffter hours, the supplementary weekly show. two weeks ago
Starting point is 00:06:29 I did miss an episode even though we'd recorded two so there was a week of having two which was the planet sounds like reaction scary kind of video as well as
Starting point is 00:06:44 Rugrats theory and I feel like I'm missing one I haven't written down what did we do Paisley's chance Paisley's chance Argy's chance Billy's chance
Starting point is 00:06:57 Dark Souls 3? Oh yeah, of course. Is Dark Souls 3 as great as they say? That was like a chunky, what was it, half an hour or something? Yeah, it was about... Discussion. It was like half of two half an hour's.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Half of two, half an hour. Carry the four. And last but not least, the John Media group chat is a group chat where we pluck certain things when they are relevant to the question segment in the second half and housekeepers. I don't have any for housekeeping this time, but I do have some comments from last episode.
Starting point is 00:07:32 I got five. One, two, three, four. Carrey the four, five. Um, you ready for housekeeping? Once I caught official life, six, seven, eight. Who actually wrote that? God. Then I let it go again.
Starting point is 00:07:52 It's in the Bible. Euna wrote it. This is how you must count. One, two, three, four, five. Yeah, but what if we had seven fingers? One, two, three, five, six, seven. We have ten fingers? On, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:09 What if we had ten? What if we had one hand, 20 fingers? Would we still count the same? No, we would not. We would not. We would count in twenties then. Yeah. That would be normal.
Starting point is 00:08:21 That would be normal for the one hand. The dogs count in fours. They count in pores. Zing. Bada bang. Woof. Hur. Um,
Starting point is 00:08:34 why are you in such a weird mean today? What do you mean? That's a fucking rude way to start a conversation. No, it's not. We've got some crazy stuff to talk about, but first let's do this housekeeping then. Dude, I'm... Starting with this one from Twy-A-T-7. What do you think is T-W-Y?
Starting point is 00:08:55 Tw-Y? Twyuna. What? To demonstrate our commitment to perpetual regression, I propose that all jarlings pair up and rank off each other. It's what James House would have wanted, hashtag, hunt the beast. Yeah. Hunt the Beast.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Do you remember Hunt the Truth for Halo 5? Halo's actually going to come up in a little minute. Really? And everyone in the audience goes, yes. Yeah. Finally. Herman Carrison 9214 says reset the ad each season and add new sound effects
Starting point is 00:09:30 Maybe let us vote for our favourite bit to carry over To the next season Bear Bear, So this was a suggestion in relation to the ever-growing Midbreak Rankers ad with the T-Rex roar That just keeps adding little sound bites I quite like that as a suggestion What do you think? What do you think?
Starting point is 00:09:48 Give your thoughts unpack that, please I believe there's such a thing as too many cooks Too many cooks Too many cooks What do you think about this one then from Max and Jones 9040? We need to get some megapine glasses for the yorks
Starting point is 00:10:08 Oh, that's true So goddamn true That's so goddamn true That should be standard I think in most pubs as well Yeah I'm sick of having to order a fresh pint every 15 goddamn minutes. If it was like
Starting point is 00:10:24 what do you think the tier system would be like megapine Uber pine? Hyper pint? What's a hyperpine? Like five? Yeah. A backpack. Yeah, it's like one of those sacks with a tube.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Straight to the mother utter. Deboose 6353 says this was in relation to there was like a question last episode about like the nostalgia critic fighting someone called shad diversity and neither of us know who that is yeah but this comment says shad diversity was a cool YouTuber that made videos about medieval weapons and shit then transitioned into being a grifter who complains about how the new
Starting point is 00:11:10 Game of Thrones show is woke or whatever ah one of them well that is a problem how woke things have gotten the thing is too there is a issue with wokeness in in the marketplace of ideas I think we need to get Dave Rubin to clear this up for us I think I need to give Dave Rubin a hug and say you don't have to do this anymore you just say but I'm a classical liberal over here yeah I'm too being classic freedom ha ha ha and last one for this section from Timu Trent troggers troggers yeah Jim on capturing Homer like a
Starting point is 00:11:59 Pokemon that's that's what the very early Rick and Morty Pokemon rip-off pocket morties did you were going around capturing Morties to have fight just make a Simpsons version and it will be better for longevity it can have a few old characters like Homer and Marge to catch up for the diehards and anyone else from older era for updates of course. Lenny? What are we, morons? But your starters can be the lovable modern faces
Starting point is 00:12:26 like Mike Wegman, Mrs. Payton and Shawna. It would also be the only Simpsons game on the App Store since Tapped Out was annihilated by EA. So we're thinking long term here. Yeah. Okay. Agreed? Yeah. Whatever, man.
Starting point is 00:12:44 I say agree. I'm on it agree. So we're going to go. three main things to talk about we got um you got options right i said halo's coming up in some form so you have a halo related thing we have this unhinged no palantera related thing okay and we have something to do with songs that i want to talk about which one do you want to do first can we do a halo first okay let's start with that then some some more halo news has dropped and finally actually sorted it
Starting point is 00:13:19 It's actually time to get excited folks It's really happening We're so back Down, right So yeah there's a rumor apparently Personally, it's a quote I'd be open to a Halo extraction shooter Halo Studios reportedly abandons battle royale
Starting point is 00:13:40 And pivots to a different style Here's what that means A new report suggests Halo's battle royale Ambitions fell short with the project evolving into an extraction shooter that may now be tied to the next mainline release. So the Battle Real rumor is like, that's not even a new thing either. That's... I thought that was going to happen with Infinite.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Yeah. Like, this is a six plus year old rumor, I think. The Battle Real thing has been like... That must have been tinkered on forever. And that would be... That was foolish to release around the time those first rumors started, you know, being shared. Yeah. Like, it would have been stupid.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Um, in the latest report from Mr. Rebs. The fuck is Mr. Rebs? You don't know Mr. Rebs? We got some details on Haley's Battle Royale, what it became and what may have happened next. As always, it's worth taking this with a grain of salt. Nothing is officially confirmed. But Mr. Rebs has a solid track record. So with that in mind, let's dive in.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Um, oh yeah, it was called Tatanka. Um, a code name that was believed to be a battle royale mode, Taitailo Infinite and its multiplayer story narrative. the report the project was actually a separate experience developed by certain affinity and 343 industries now Halo Studios built using halo slipspace engine which is now no longer in use the mode would have featured maps based on classics like blood gulch and Valhalla with players dropping in via drop pods however the project was ultimately dropped as the battle reall wasn't working and the space became increasingly oversaturated rebs also states that while some elements worked well the overall concept
Starting point is 00:15:10 did not land with developers surprise surprise development was paused in 2022 before the project evolved into Project E-K-E-R-E-K-E-R, E-K, and moved over to Unreal Engine, something Halo is already transitioning towards, with efforts like Project Foundry and Halo campaign evolved. Project E-K, according to Rebs, was a PVEE extraction shooter, with the last confirmed development status being back to 2023. Its current status remains unclear with conflicting reports. Some suggest E-K-E-K- is now a solo Halo multiplayer project, while others believe it has been folded into the next mainline Halo title, which I assume will be Halo 7.
Starting point is 00:15:48 That's all the report covers for now, but it does raise some interesting possibilities. Personally, I'd be open to a Halo extraction shooter, especially if, like, Ark Raiders, it leans more into the social side of the experience. I disagree with that bit at the end there. It's just... I disagree with all of it. Yeah. If you want to make an extraction shooter, make a new IP.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Make a... That horse isn't just dead. It's like a skeleton. No. dust. Yeah. There's nothing to kick anymore. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:18 You just slept. Yeah. It's just an old bit of wet. Yeah. To clit an icon, you done fucked it up. Ooh. You done fucked it up. Microsoft.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Yeah, you don't fucked it up, to be fair. Who wants this? Nobody wants this. It was risky. Like, look what's happening with Marathon right now. That's not working out. Sure, Hela is a bigger brand than Marathon. on um but arc wasn't a brand they just made a good fucking game yeah it's almost like the key is to
Starting point is 00:16:53 like make something good make a game like not chase trends which the entire time that they have own took over halo like that's all all they've done they've never made a halo game they refuse to do it some yeah yeah why halo four halo five halo infinite am i missing anyway yeah like all them are just trend-chasing bullshit. Yeah, yeah. Like, I... I mean...
Starting point is 00:17:22 That's gonna bomb, obviously. You can't trust a studio that couldn't even re-release games that were already made. Yeah, they didn't even make, it had nothing to do with... Like... But like the Master Chief Collection. They managed to fuck up games that were already good. That should have been the like we need to do something about this point. Yeah, we need we got to disband this and like start again type thing
Starting point is 00:17:51 Yeah, let's give it to us two years like this is not good enough this is supposed to be your like It's their main thing like yeah there's that old quote anymore no I guess it's like minecraft and like forza I don't ironically like fourser came out on PlayStation so millions and millions of copies I was gonna say now that Microsoft then's um Activision, but like they've...
Starting point is 00:18:15 No one gives about called anymore. I guess it's like Minecraft really and shit like that. Yeah. But there's an old quote of Phil Spencer saying like, like, if we don't get Halo working, then we don't get Xbox working or something like that. That's like...
Starting point is 00:18:28 Come on, Phil. Don't say that, man. Yeah, you kind of... The die was cast in a way. Yeah, nothing surprising really about that. It is what it is. Yeah, hopefully it all just,
Starting point is 00:18:42 just gets cancelled and yeah actually disband them and just put it to bed please yeah it's just getting sad in our memory yeah that's fine yeah let it be a memory yeah stop tarnishing the memories
Starting point is 00:18:55 yeah you know yeah they're doing they're they've done a pretty good job with tarnishing the memories to be honest yeah like if I think of like my top five like video game franchises
Starting point is 00:19:08 I don't know if Halo would even make the top 10 at this point. Yeah, I don't know. Because it's all like so like memory hold for me and like all these like silos of like yeah, there's this time period. There's the broader like brand and like how much of it sucks now compared to it Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Yeah, they're shitting over it. They're genuinely like ruining it. And then like what is there to even ruin at this point? Yeah, like you say, there's more shit than good now. Yeah. The cope. Let it go, people. Let it go.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Let it die. Yeah, I think my current feeling is the... I'm not going to buy that remake, the Halo One remake. I don't think it should get any sales. Mm-mm. I think that was decided for me the second I saw the Hidden Experia video where he explained the... Fuck, what was it?
Starting point is 00:20:10 It was like a fucking monster munch skin for... for that. Nice. I do like Monster Much, to be fair. What's your favorite Monster Much flavor? I like classic, the onion one. Yeah, I like classic. Pickled onion.
Starting point is 00:20:24 The spicy ones are quite good. Yeah, they're good. I like the, I like the beef one as well, the gold one. I haven't had those in for a lot. Yeah, I haven't either, but I've got good memories of those. Yeah, I've got good memories of those. What about the aliens? Fuck the aliens.
Starting point is 00:20:39 What are they called? I hate the, it. Nobody knows. They were just aliens. This is when they, like, never existed. Space Raiders. That's right. Yeah, there was something going on with those guys.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Yeah. I always felt like they had the vibe that there's... They were actually made by aliens, and there's something, like, going on of, like, controlling you through them. Yeah, they're trying to do. You know, all the toy shops had those weird little aliens in, like, a tube. And you could stretch them.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Yeah, yeah. I don't know, a kid's still into, like, toys that you just, like, stretch? That was a thing, yeah. That was a thing, yeah. Stretch on stretch. Stretch Islandstrom movie, let's hear. Yeah, there's that monkey that stretches as well. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:21 People love that thing. Yeah, they're like guerrilla guy. Yeah, the gorilla guy. You can test your strengths. Yeah, and he's kind of based on Gorilla Grod from Flash, I think? Buck, yeah. Hey, I'm Gorilla Grod. I've got some sort of brain device to help me intellectualize.
Starting point is 00:21:37 That was my impression of... Anything else on Halo? Or Alien Crisps? Um... chips I'd say pre-order pre-order
Starting point is 00:21:48 the special edition um if you are a fucking idiot I'd say yeah that's all I'm gonna say on it okay
Starting point is 00:22:01 unless you find it on the floor conveniently then don't yeah or if you're really into monster munch as much as I am yeah um so do you want the song one
Starting point is 00:22:13 or the Palantier one next um I think the Palantir one okay this is I'm still kind of wrapping my head around this is a fucking dystopian um so on where's the date here April 18th 745 p.m. in the UK the Palantier Twitter account tweeted like a manifesto basically saying because we get asked a lot, full stop, the technological republic in brief and then has a list of like
Starting point is 00:22:57 jar commandments, 22 of them, like tenants kind of. I think this is like a book. Let me just double check the technological republic. Yeah. I don't like the sound of this. Yeah, published 2025. What is the summary?
Starting point is 00:23:20 The technological republic examines the profound impact of tech on governance and society, emphasizing the need for ethical considerations and cooperative frameworks to balance innovation with the preservation of democratic values and human rights. But now I hear about the way they phrase it. Number one. You could give these like a cringe-based up. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley have an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation That's terrifying Isn't that just kind of like justifying their power? Yeah, yeah
Starting point is 00:24:01 Because they've been allowed to exist and kind of gather that power, right? It's kind of yeah, they're um Part of their cult The the Silicon Valley Uh Murder billionaires Is the belief that like they they need to be on top
Starting point is 00:24:23 like they they need to have they should have that power the like gold complex yeah leading this arms race it's on arms race basically it's like a lot of this is weirdly similar to like the nuke stuff
Starting point is 00:24:37 um number two we must rebel against the tyranny of the apps is that iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization the object has changed our lives but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible
Starting point is 00:24:56 through what your AI systems what does that mean okay three free email is not enough the decadence of a culture of civilization and indeed its ruling class will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public okay these are all cringe Number four, the limits of soft power of soaring rhetoric alone have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power and hard power in this century will be built on software. That's the nuke argument. Yeah, it's like a deterrence type kind of concept. That's what the hard power of having nukes is, right? It's like it gives you a diplomatic advantage kind of.
Starting point is 00:25:56 You can like swing your... Yeah. And they, they, um, these, these, these, Baleenar people, they don't want countries to be run democratically. They want them to be run like businesses with a CEO. Uh-huh. You know.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Number five, the question is not whether AI weapons will be built. It is who will build them. And for what purpose? Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications they will proceed. It's quite similar to the previous one. Yeah, and it's again like you were saying with the nuke argument. It's like, well, they're all doing it.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Yeah, we need to destroy every small town in America to justify us being the winners, I guess. And all of the taxpayers need to pay for it too. You need subsidy to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Number six, national service should be universal deal. duty. We should as a society seriously consider moving away from all volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the same risk and the cost. What is their motivation behind that one?
Starting point is 00:27:10 Surely they profit from war? Yeah, yeah. Seven, if a US Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it. And the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad, while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm's way. What? It's posturing.
Starting point is 00:27:44 These last few seem to be under the same kind of banner, really. I don't understand how they can... It's kind of scary they're equating it to a gun as well. Yeah, yeah. It's all like through the ends of weaponry. They're acting like what they're doing as noble. Because I genuinely think that's their perspective. They think they're doing like a utopian like, this is evolution.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Like this is the next step of humanity type of thing. Number eight, public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. So what, they want everything like private, I guess. number nine we should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life the eradication of any space for forgiveness a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret I didn't feel like giving them more grace is the I think it's actually the opposite
Starting point is 00:28:54 that sounds to me like um that sounds like it's written by musk you need to me But it's like woke bad Is that what they're saying? It's like council culture has gone too far Yeah It's like nobody gets cancelled Like what do you mean Because they speak in such like
Starting point is 00:29:10 vague generalities Yeah Yeah of course I want people to have more grace And for people to delve into the nuance But that's not like What it means when they say it You know Yeah
Starting point is 00:29:22 Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah may leave us with a cast of characters At the helm We will grow to regret You mean like the situation where we have 20, 30 people that like own the whole world.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Yeah, who have all been to Little St. James. Number 10. The psychologization? That's a difficult to say. Psychologization of modern politics. Psychologization must be, yeah. Of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self who rely
Starting point is 00:29:58 too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they never meet will be left disappointed. But they're the ones crafting that landscape though. Yeah. Aren't they? Aren't they directly responsible for that attitude? Read it again.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they never may never meet will be left disappointed. What the fuck, dude? He was pulling up like the ladder type shit.
Starting point is 00:30:34 You can't like create the landscape. You're being led astray by this mystical. Yeah. What? 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten and is often gleeful at the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. And that's incredibly rich coming from.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Yeah, what the fuck? Yeah, it's so like delusional. In terms of... Too eager to hasten, you mean like jumping in the deep end with artificial intelligence technology? Yeah, and fast-tracking like a surveillance state where you own all of our private info. Oh, here they directly address it.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Number 12, the atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age is ending and a new era of deterrence built on AI is set to begin. That is scary that they see it so much through the lens of weaponry. Yeah, it is something to be like pointed at people, kind of. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. United States is far from perfect, but it's easy to forget how much more opportunity
Starting point is 00:31:52 exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. Is that true? I don't know I would like to someone smarter than me to look into that because I think that's whole shit
Starting point is 00:32:15 I mean yeah how you defining that a country that like doesn't have any like security safety net no social safety net
Starting point is 00:32:30 has never had a woman as like a president Yeah. There's no, like, healthcare's fucked. They get one black president and have a fucking meltdown and flip so extreme in the other direction. Yeah. Yeah. So I just feel like that's not true. It's this weird thing in a American dialogue and American media where it's like, I know that we're the best country in the world.
Starting point is 00:33:03 It's like based on what? Like what do you mean? You can't just say that Because it's your experience that that you've lived there your whole life Yeah You know like you can't say that based on nothing Because that's it like sure In theory your country is the wealthiest
Starting point is 00:33:22 It has like the most money But other than that like what are you leading in? I guess a military Well done Well done you can you can kill the most people Cool. Yeah. But like how are your, you know,
Starting point is 00:33:39 misfortune? How are your people who need a helping hand? How are your veterans? Yeah, when I saw, yeah. You know the big, beautiful bill shit? Mm. Where they, I think, I'm trying to find the exact figure. I think it was 90 billion has been committed.
Starting point is 00:34:04 to ice specific just ice right 90 billion that's taxpayer money dude um 90 billion taxpayer money just for ice let alone everything else the military is doing like yeah yeah um yeah so that they're prioritizing
Starting point is 00:34:24 uh a a militia that execute civilians in the streets over uh the like social security nets um number 14 American power has made
Starting point is 00:34:41 possible an extraordinarily long peace too many have forgotten or perhaps taken for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict at least three generations billions of people and their children and now grandchildren
Starting point is 00:34:56 have never known a world war it's not that simple though is it no that's that's ridiculous that that genuinely makes zero fucking sense. It's like, A, wrong. Wasn't it like,
Starting point is 00:35:13 it was the unity and coordination of a bunch of different countries, right? Yeah, there's been, yeah, the main difference now is that there's a way bigger gap between has power and doesn't. You know, that's changed things.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Yeah. That's why there hasn't been a world war is because nukes exist. You know, and that's, that's not through virtue. you? Yeah, it's a really disingenuous framing. 15, the post-war neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone.
Starting point is 00:35:44 This is a really fucking weird one. What? The defanging of Germany was an over-correction for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. Put a bit in that. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threatened to shift the balance of power in Asia. What the fuck are you talking about? Yeah, what?
Starting point is 00:36:03 What do you actually mean? like the neutering of Germany and Japan when it was done not only was fairly reasonable considering the circumstance but also look at them now like well plus look at
Starting point is 00:36:16 look at Japan now that place hasn't been neutered enough but like these are two of the biggest economies in the world now like yeah yeah yeah um like what are they trying to say with that they haven't been like
Starting point is 00:36:29 they have they've barely even been defang though because like Japan is still incredibly, like, socially conservative, and they still kind of view the world in the same way. You know, like, they have politicians. They don't teach in school how, you know, that's weird. It's kind of the inverse of Germany.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Yeah, yeah. I think Germany's done. Germany's a shining example of what you should do when you go a bit too fascisty, you know? Yeah. America takes some pointers, though. What an absurd thing to say. And funnily enough, when Germany is less focused on, you know, just growing its military and conquering the world, it actually becomes a way wealthier, more successful country.
Starting point is 00:37:17 I'm trying to figure, is there arguments something to do with World War I? And that, like, leading into World War II? Well, no, because Japan did. Yeah, they didn't mention. Yeah. The implication is World War II, saying Germany and Japan. It's crazy to say we were two. Nice.
Starting point is 00:37:36 You're too, too mean to those nasty, nasty. You were too hard on the Nazis. Yeah. Too hard on the fascist Japanese. Like, yeah, that's so,
Starting point is 00:37:49 like, what does that have to do with this? Like, what the fuck are they talking? Like, it's, it's like a fucking unhinged, like,
Starting point is 00:37:56 it's unbelievable, though, because, like, Peter Thiel, the guy who owns Palantia, right, grew up,
Starting point is 00:38:05 in a Nazi sympathizing environment so when his company that has a scary amount of global power international power like our police has in this country
Starting point is 00:38:19 in the UK has deals with Palantia so does the NHS yeah like so they have this global power and this guy who grew up in a Nazi sympathizing environment his company
Starting point is 00:38:35 that has all this power is saying we were too nasty to the Nazis. With this being posted on a social media website bought and owned by another South African weird links to apartheid family. Weird links to apartheid, weird links to straight up Nazis and did an actual sigile.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Yeah. What? Number 16, we should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk's interest in grand narrative as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves. Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn.
Starting point is 00:39:27 You know, it's so, like, dick-sucky of the tech elites, you know? like yeah they're over exaggerating too of like all the all the credit he's getting for these things I just don't believe
Starting point is 00:39:43 it can't be as directly linked to him as him being the genius of him coming in Tony Starking it's not that like if you actually look into Elon Musk and I think we lightly touched on it
Starting point is 00:39:57 on a job after hours um Elon Musk yeah Elon around but um people he worked with, like, they all have reported that he's, like, dumb. I mean, maybe not actually, like, stupid, but, like, he's...
Starting point is 00:40:15 There's something going on with him. Yeah. But just look at, um, people track how often he tweets. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And like, he doesn't sleep. And where he is in the world and, like, the timings of it. And it is really weird. Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:27 He must be, like, medicated on something. He's always just, like, yeah. Yeah, we know that. Brain dumping on Twitter, I guess. And Trump does the same, which is very weird. Very strange. This one's really scary, actually. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Many politicians around the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. That's fucking scary. That's robocop shit. that's like yeah yeah straight up because like when you actually look at like a lot of these stats like the UK is much safer than it's been in decades America I'm pretty sure is the same yeah as far as violent crime is concerned unless you're um on the receiving end of like unless you see a YouTube short or ice like uh yeah um yeah that's fucking crazy and they they they
Starting point is 00:41:33 God, that's scary They don't address the root cause ever No I feel like The news and stuff To this day Still kind of exists in this
Starting point is 00:41:47 This space of Like 60s comic book View of the world Yeah it's like There are badies You know And it
Starting point is 00:42:00 It's binary Everything's fucking binary especially in America, it's so like amplified like that. It's always the Republicans, the Democrats, the... Yeah, I've heard some interviews with like ex-military
Starting point is 00:42:15 like dudes talking about their experiences and conflicts and stuff. And they always refer to the people they're fighting as the bad guys. Yeah. They always use that term and it's like, this is this feels like brainwashing.
Starting point is 00:42:33 This feels like you're framing it in such a way. You have to dehumanize, right? Yeah, and dehumanization is maybe like the most dangerous thing. Oh. The most dangerous human weapon. It's so easy to weaponize. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:52 18, the ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves Has become so unforgiving that the Republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual empty vessels whose ambition One would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within So like pointed like the way that this is written It seems like someone like an Elon Musk who's pissed off
Starting point is 00:43:24 Are like getting hate thrown their way Does that much deserved hate Um, if that was, I've thought about this kind of thing before where it's like maybe that joke of like, if you're like a hot, if Kiyosthama had like a cool voice, like I feel if he just had a cool voice, he'd probably have way more support. Like people have fickle and like really, uh, what's the word? Like, judgmental, you know, when it comes to like political figure, but they care way too much about superficial shit, you know? Um, well, see, I, because how much of it is with Trump
Starting point is 00:44:01 it's like well that's what I didn't get with Trump he's a lad, he's just like yeah he's playful he you can imagine having a drink with him but when it comes down to it he's a businessman and he puts his businessman right on and he gets the job done
Starting point is 00:44:14 um it's optics but with Trump I don't get it because like he's not cool in any way he's got that stance he's got the centaer's stunt yeah
Starting point is 00:44:29 he's got the skin color um he's got orange yeah the the like orange skin and white eyes thing is fucking weird um
Starting point is 00:44:42 because I wondered that before if like a government where you're like your outfit basically covered your face in some way um you had like a mask like the court of outs or some shit so then like it's just like
Starting point is 00:44:59 the red guy from the white shirt. But then it would remove that kind of bias you'd get that like allows populace to like like Nigel Farage to whip up support. Yeah but um it's it's a tricky thing with populism because it does work both ways. Um and it's it's like you can't to to counteract Farage. You can't just become obsessed and see like Zach Polanski as Jesus. You know, that's, that's not going to get you into a better position because, like, if,
Starting point is 00:45:40 as a general rule, I mean, it's the, the age old absolute power corrupts absolutely. Yeah, yeah. If you become, if everyone becomes obsessed with this one guy, that one guy or woman or whatever is going to abuse that power and that position, you know, the, like, everyone's fallible. Yeah, yeah. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all.
Starting point is 00:46:15 The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. They're saying what? Like the temperature's too high as a culture. Which like it, I mean, yeah, it is, but like it's partially the fucking fault that that's One, but I'm more getting the, like... Unwittingly encourage, caution in public life. What you mean through sensationalized, fucking aggressive algorithms? I think it's another anti-cancel culture thing.
Starting point is 00:46:46 It's like people should be free to say what they want. And I disagree with that. But then they'll say something like this one, 20, the pervasive intolerance of religious beliefs in certain circles must be resisted. The elites intolerance of religious beliefs is perhaps one of most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. So presumably they're thinking about that and through the lens of like some idea of like Christian persecution in the US probably. Right?
Starting point is 00:47:18 That's what like. Yeah, I guess. Because like Peter Thiel's religious, right? In certain circles must be resisted. I don't know because it's all like, it's clearly coded kind of. Yeah. And like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Yeah, I mean that I would agree with just based on like I think any prejudice based on religion is stupid Yeah, like on paper there's yeah, I thought it was one of the core tenets of America, wasn't it? Like freedom of religion was supposed to be. 21, some cultures have produced vital advances, others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal, criticism and value judgments are forbidden, yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures have produced wonders others have produced middling and worse regressive and harmful i just don't get what does this have to do with their their tech movement yeah we'll say what and yeah and this kind of the twenty two is similar as well we must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism we in america are more broadly and more broadly the west have for the most part, sorry, for the past half century, resisted defining national cultures in the name of
Starting point is 00:48:40 inclusivity, but inclusion into what? And these are all excerpts from the number one New York Times bestseller, the Technological Republic, hard power, soft belief and the future of the West by Alexander C. Carp and Nicholas W. Zimiska. That's so fucking insane that they just like posted this on Twitter they thought this was something that like and this is like legit this is their real X account they thought they were cooking is this god even their um they're like bio on Twitter is software that dominates is that is that fucking real software because like dude
Starting point is 00:49:30 software that dominates is this going to be like a troll account No, because I've seen a lot of people talking about this, this crazy, the tweet. The tweet. Yeah. And this weird manifesto. Planta manifesto. Yeah, here we go. Yeah, I mean, it's real.
Starting point is 00:50:02 There's like loads of articles about it. Ew. But they're like already embedded into the NHS and shit now. Yeah, yeah. they're too big to fail some funny reply is 22 points on how to save Western civilization written by a defense contractor
Starting point is 00:50:26 who profits from the wars they're describing totally unbiased manifesto we saw what you freaks did to the children in Gaza go fuck yourself preach yeah preach so when you want permanent war it's George Orwell's 1984
Starting point is 00:50:47 verbatim psychopaths. Oh yeah, and then it always just leaves back around to that fucking image of Saruman with his hand over the Palantir. Yeah, yeah. That was the starting point. That was your inspiration. Why did you start with Palantir? Like, it's evil.
Starting point is 00:51:09 It's just fully depicted as an evil thing in the book. What the fuck, dude? Yeah. So that's one of those things that's like so beyond parodies. like so just like what this weird like Silicon Valley like
Starting point is 00:51:31 philosophy so like evil it's it's it's beyond evil it's it's it's crazier than the fucking Joker yeah it's way worse than
Starting point is 00:51:46 than Joker I would prefer if the Joker I'm Palantia genuinely like I think he would be less evil shit who is the like the closest equivalent
Starting point is 00:52:04 Peter T or Batman villain then I mean not Batman but he feels like the closest thing to Lex Luthor right in real life yeah they all do actually kind of yeah I think he's the closest one like Palantia is crazy yeah that fucking that is a super villain
Starting point is 00:52:24 shit that's like come he's like Mysterio from far from home yeah and like if I was a bit of money down I probably think they're the winners
Starting point is 00:52:36 they're like when you cut to the Blade Runner like future they're the ones with the buildings the Palantta yeah yeah the pyramid it'll be like a big org they'll live in the Vegas the 58th like clone
Starting point is 00:52:49 of Peter Thiel he's like Jared Lato's character and Blade Runner these weird drones and shit cool man because all these people are obsessed with um
Starting point is 00:53:00 giletto and having islands cults well i was going to say living forever um yeah which they share with epstein Epstein was obsessed with that
Starting point is 00:53:11 idea as well and they were all friends with Epstein including pizza teal and on that note we'll see us these messages rankers on BS5
Starting point is 00:53:26 out now This is wild. Some actual legend. Simpsons theme. Simpsons thing. He cooked with the Simpsons thing. Ging, gung, gong, gong, gong. Absolutely legend.
Starting point is 00:53:50 I was practicing my jazz scales. Yeah. Doing some simp. And then I found the... Simp. Really? Yeah, because I played a wrong note, and I went, duh,
Starting point is 00:54:04 duh, do. And I was like, uh-oh. And then I, like, worked it out. So then I jumped on the guitar and I was like, damn, damn, damn, damn, down, damn, damn, damn, damn, dion, d'em, d'em, d'em, d'em, you know, turn the electric guitar up to the max, play with Green Day on the lake.
Starting point is 00:54:24 Do you ever listen to Oingo Boingo? Huh? It's like his band. No, I haven't. It's like a rock band, I think, from the 70s. Yeah, Danny Elfman. Good music's. Men in Black.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Give that to Danny. Mm-hmm. Yeah, welcome to the second half of the cast. We head over to the suggestion thread over on the Jail Media subreddit and plug some questions to talk about. Well, if they're good enough on the group chat, I sometimes pluck them from there as well. I've got three of those first.
Starting point is 00:55:04 You mean the great, the group chat over on, over on Patreon? Oh yes, on the patron, of course. On the patron, wow, where patrons get to interact in the group chat and leave us questions and bits and bobs. If you got this far, leave a comment saying what Jim's about to say. Frontside bill will prevail. Frontside Bill will prevail. Frontside Bill will prevail. Frontside Bill is one of my Dark Souls 1 saves on my PC.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Really? Yeah. Front Side Bill, but side spell S-Y-D. People have been enjoying your airport gym creation. Really? Yeah, with some even saying they've been stealing it for themselves. Really? Like they say their name, like airport.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Yeah. Yeah, I figured. Hey, I'm Airport Alex over here. Wow. I just kind of live here. I wonder why. I wonder why that's specifically resonating. Something about it is emotional.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Can I tell you where it came from and then you edit it out? Yeah. I actually will. Will you actually? I will. We had... Right, let's do some comments then. Let's start with this one from...
Starting point is 00:56:17 It's just two Japanese symbols. From the group chat. Updated thoughts on... I knew I'd have nothing to say about this. Nine-inch noise. Now the album is out. I genuinely think I prefer some of these versions to the original. especially closer.
Starting point is 00:56:30 Yeah, I listen through this, the Coachella album. Yeah. Let me just say I wasn't impressed. It's fucking amazing. It's so good. Some of the versions of these songs, heresies are real standout for me. They mentioned the closer version is also amazing. It's like an impeccable album, some great, great versions.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Yeah, it's just absolutely on fire. this combo of boys noise it's just really working out for him can't wait to see what they do next um I'll absolutely fire um Hooper says
Starting point is 00:57:10 so are we not getting a Devon trip report as the only exit to Jalling I'm disappointed um yeah we did go to Devon it was a few weeks ago now yeah um we didn't do that much
Starting point is 00:57:22 there was like a storm it was like the inverse of when we went yeah to um we were surrounded by um a bunch of like wind turbines yeah uh it was like it felt almost more remote than the previous it kind of did yeah um saying that though the other one was super remote um it was remote but there were more like people staying in the same like section yes yeah you're right and see other people where this was no one what we saw it's just like a random dog and some sheep
Starting point is 00:57:55 yeah and one person well one person who didn't even say a single word. Yeah. He just had a wheelbarrow full of wood for the hot tub. And it was like, we were just unlucky with like there was a storm basically. But it was cool. Yeah, I don't have an issue with that personally because like we had. Yeah, I'm glad that we've now had both.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Yeah. Yeah. Um, obviously last time we just explored outside more because it was like sunny and like 20 degrees. Yeah. Whereas, yeah, it was freezing and like the wind was so powerful. The wind was insane. Um, it took like. Yeah, because the, the, the wind turbine.
Starting point is 00:58:28 should have been like a warning they were like a yeah true they were like a tease for what's to come yeah because the wind went insane yeah and it was rainy and shit um it was cozy there in the like little wood cabin with a wood burner and like yeah there just wasn't that much to report yeah yeah well we went to beude on the last day which is a really cool that's true yeah um i'd never been before you went when you were a kid i went in like year eight For some character building thing. Yeah. Surfing or whatever.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Yeah, and but we got really nice weather this time. Yeah, that day was good. On Bude the last day. Yeah, so I'd recommend Bude if you're ever. Seaside Towns just have impeccable vibes. Yeah, this one in particular is one of the better, less like, uh... They can be tacky. Less tacky.
Starting point is 00:59:24 But there is, I, there's almost a space for that as well, though. Oh, for sure. I'm sure fondness for the kind of tacky. The, um, Newkey. Yeah, Newkey's like that. I love Newkey. Yeah. That shit's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:59:36 So yeah. Definitely like going down there, though. Yeah, same. Lovely. It's Trowbley. So have you heard anything? This one's from Thunder Slug. He says, I imagine you'll already talk about the Bloodbourne animated movie.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Ha ha. With potential of accompanying remaster, maybe. And lame Eldon Ring live action movie. movie. Um, let's start with the bloodborne one. With the most noticeable thing, with it being like attached to Jack Septukeye, of some reason? Yeah, I think that's funny. Quite weird. I think, um, he's just a producer. Yeah, he is. Um, I saw an interview with, like, or part of an interview with him where he's talking about it. Because there's been a lot of memes where it's like, people are excited for
Starting point is 01:00:19 a bloodbore movie. They hear Jack Septica is attached and they're like, oh, it's going to be shit. Yeah. Um, which I think is kind of unfair. I think... I don't get it. I don't get the association. I understand that he is a huge fan. Yeah, outside of that. I think it's like he's obviously fucking rich as fuck.
Starting point is 01:00:40 And he's like, I just want to pay for this to exist. Yeah. Like, if he's a fan to that degree, he should use his power and influence to get Vati video involved. He should be a producer. Yeah, shit. If he was like attached, then I feel like the confidence level would be very high, you know? I mean, to be honest
Starting point is 01:00:58 I kind of if these movies come out and they're good I will want a Dark Souls movie I will and if like Voughty would be the guy to go to because he knows that shit you know and he'd need to like be a he'd need to read through the script
Starting point is 01:01:15 before because yeah yeah if he's against anything then it's like yeah that's not gonna be like he's like you know like they have basically law masters for like big franchises that have basically their Bible and like um He's like got the Bible.
Starting point is 01:01:29 Yeah. Yeah, Vati is from soft Jesus. Yeah. And Thunderslug seemed to find the Eldon Ring live action movie lame. Yeah. I kind of have an inverse thing. I wouldn't put money on it being good necessarily at the moment. But Alex Galand...
Starting point is 01:01:51 I can trust him. Writing and directing, I think the production is at least going to be interesting. Yeah. Some of those leaked things look like... I don't know, there's something, especially from like 28 years in Civil War and some of that stuff. If you have concerns about the Alderman Ring movie, watch the 28 years later movies. Yeah. Because he's attached to those movies and...
Starting point is 01:02:12 He wrote the script, so... Yeah. And he's obviously a... And he's a producer as well. Yeah. But I think visually, there are moments in 28 years later, specifically the first one, where they, they pass through some like, old ruins and stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:29 They stay in a church at one point. And I remember watching that movie and there was first talks about the Elder Ring movie happening by Alex Garland. And I was like, oh shit, maybe this could work. Yeah. Don't know what they're going to do on a plot level? Like how Lucy's going to go with that? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:45 Yeah. I kind of like the idea of it being Vike. Vike story. Vike is the guy like on the Elder Ring front cover who's like nearly. Yeah. he gets hugged he gets embraced by the three fingers
Starting point is 01:03:04 um and gets corrupted by like yeah so it has to be weird and I guess the fact of like 824 in these people yeah it's it kind of has to be somewhat vague I don't think you should come out of it knowing
Starting point is 01:03:20 yeah everything um but also has to have some level of like spectacle to the visuals Yeah. Atmosphere. Do you think the Bloodbore movie is going to be Spider-verse animation stuff? Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 01:03:40 Probably. It's like cheaper at this point to do it that way. It seems that way. That's why they do it. Like, generally. Unless it's Spider-Bus. Yeah, then it's way more. They actually have to, like, have production lines of people being tortured, too.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Yeah, yeah. Get it out. They actually just need the blood of tortured. I was thinking about that when I was driving back from somewhere yesterday, and I was thinking about the Spider-verse art style trend thing. And it was like, what would be the most unfitting, like, combo? Because, like, this month we're getting, like, a Stranger Things, Spider-verse-style TV show.
Starting point is 01:04:16 What the part? It's like the cast of characters except they added this, like, fucking O-C that look. It's so crazy. Of course they do. Okay, that's going to be good. The Palantia movie in Spider-Vist. Yeah. The Peter Thiel biopic in, um...
Starting point is 01:04:43 Just called Peter. The sequel to be teal. And they can have, like, the devil horns hidden, like, in the past. Yeah. Fucking hell. Wow. So, yeah, I don't know. I don't know about the flood bomb.
Starting point is 01:04:58 I'm kind of excited. for both. More Eldon Ring, I'll be honest. I have more hope in the Eldon Ring one having a level of quality, but annoyingly... As long as it's animated. Yeah. Yeah. I think doing Sakero as an anime
Starting point is 01:05:13 is cool. Yeah. I'm sure that's going to be good. Bloodbourne, I wonder if it would have... if it would be fitted more to live action. You reckon?
Starting point is 01:05:30 Yeah, I wonder. It would just need such a high budget though, with all the like creatures and scale of it really. You know, the environments and everything, it's kind of like gothic. I feel like the environments, like if you can do Batman. Yeah, but they're like so expensive. Yeah. You know? What would be, right?
Starting point is 01:05:52 Well, they're spending like a hundred million, I think, for the Eldon Ring movie. Which is pretty considerable for A-24 to be putting down. Is it? I don't know what, um, like, budgets are these days. But... I wonder what the budget is, because they're doing that fucking stupid, um... The Zelda live action movie. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:13 That, that I truly think is gonna be dog shit. Yeah, why would you not just animate that? Yeah, that's one where it definitely should be animated. But like, you really have it. It's mona-okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, likely exceeding 100 million dollars and potentially reaching up to 200 million or more.
Starting point is 01:06:40 For Zelda? For Zelda. Right. The director of the Maze Runner movies and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. We're in good hands, my friends. He's going to make one hell of a normal movie. Yeah, it's going to mean there's normal movies. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:07:02 I as a rule I think video game movies are fucking stupid I'm a I am a little bit concerned seeing like you sent me the the dung eater leaked thing yeah they're like throwing poop at the dung eater and it's like dude he's just gonna eat it so like seeing that leaked thing actually kind of was for me was like uh okay well to me it's like a big ass production
Starting point is 01:07:30 well I thought does this mean like they're filming the intro cut scene and then just like doing Eldon Ring like the story it'll be impossible in two hours to do to get through all these locations contextualize any of it
Starting point is 01:07:48 is it going to be following just like a nameless tarnish doing like the first dungeon or like beating more got I don't know or Margit. Spoiler alert but how do you even that's what I mean it's like I'm sure you could do something if you
Starting point is 01:08:06 if it was based in a different time period of the universe you know and like have some drama going on with yeah i don't know about because the the plot of eldom ring that you play in the game there isn't all that much going on it's designed around being a game so like making a movie on that i don't really understand if it's like vike story
Starting point is 01:08:30 so like vike all the all the vike stuff happens like relatively shortly before the main game. Like that's cool. Like you can flesh stuff out there and make a movie with themes and shit. I don't want to,
Starting point is 01:08:44 I don't really want to just see. Yeah, one-to-one thing seems stupid. Yeah, and it would just beat the whole point because the whole thing is that Oldham Ring is like the most open game ever made. Uh-huh. So what would be the point of then just Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:59 Telling that story in as linear way as possible. Yeah, I'm... I can almost see a Dark Souls movie even more. I can see like a shape of that more than an Alderman one, you know? There's more like of a structure. There's like a beginning, middle and end to Dark Souls. But I guess Outerring's just like bigger. I sold more copies than any Souls.
Starting point is 01:09:24 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Well, because Spooky Wagons also said, I was wondering what you last think about the upcoming. Eldon Ring movie adaptation, as there have recently been photos of a really convinced, looking church of America in the south of the UK. I really, really hate the recent phenomenon of video game movies, but Alex Garland seems to genuinely care about the game and personally pitched it to Miyazaki. Do you guys have any hope at all? I know Alex is pretty
Starting point is 01:09:54 down on the recent onslaught of video game adaptations in general, but would love your thoughts. Yeah, I largely agree that just mining it for IP is like the main motivation for it happening. Like now the superhero kind of stuff is like the bottom's falling out. It's like shit, we need a new thing to mine. As in like video games in general. Video game IP. Yeah. You know, Mario uncharted, fallout, whatever.
Starting point is 01:10:20 And I think most games do not lend themselves to adaptation that well. But there are, I think there are some that actually could work, but it would be hard. It would be like, you actually have to do the work. In the same way, like, when you're adapting a book, like that's a process. There's like a really important thing going on there that's difficult and challenging. and you're changing mediums and the like the path of least resistance is often taken with them you know like uncharted having like a papa john's like sequence you know it's like fuck you like how anyone is that actually a thing and yeah there's a whole like scene where like Mark Wahlberg's like
Starting point is 01:10:59 stuck in a Papa Johns and it's like bro it's it's fucking unwatchable i don't know how anyone like forgives that film like yeah Yeah, that film nearly made me turn on Tom Holland entirely. Until he was like, like, I'm never doing a film like that again. He knew that shit was donkey. Yeah. The religious jarling says, what would you do if God came down one day and said, it's pronounced Jode, then left.
Starting point is 01:11:37 What is goad? J-O-D-E. Jod. Oh, God, goad. Jod. Oh, Jod. It's pronounced Jod. Um,
Starting point is 01:11:51 you've all been saying it quite wrong indeed. I'd start saying Jod, I guess. Hmm. I still wouldn't believe in him. No, I would. I'd go full. Really? Peter Thiel, you're my God.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Peter Jode, you're my God. Flesaken Village says, thoughts on Stroud. I recently re-listened to a COVID-era episode, I believe it was episode 210, and got whiplash when Alex mentioned how at one point he wanted to live in Stroud, why? That's all. Stroud's cool. It's not even necessarily that I wanted to live there. It was that that's what I was going to have to do. I think Stroud would be a cool place. I was going to go to college there was what was going to happen. I was going to live with our Nana. Hello, Nana. Yeah, Stroud is cool. Nice hippie vibes.
Starting point is 01:12:47 Yeah, I think it's... A goblin shop there? Yeah, that's a nice... It's always good when you stumble upon a goblin shop. I'm going to say something kind of... Crikey. Go for it. I think Stroud is like the coolest place I've been to in this country.
Starting point is 01:13:06 Really? Yeah. I don't know what I'd give that, to be honest. I don't have to think about that. it's cooler than London for sure I think it's cooler than Brighton I think it's cooler than Bristol
Starting point is 01:13:20 I need to go back to Brighton yeah yeah I don't know I think it's cooler than um oh I was gonna say the end from Minecraft but the end of Dragon is kind of cool
Starting point is 01:13:34 nothing's cooler than that um it's probably another good one uh a J Hunter yeah Says Bear Bear. Bear.
Starting point is 01:13:45 What do you guys genuinely think of the Jowling of the Week phenomenon, wherein multiple people, or the same deranged individual, tries to make themselves a JAR meme? And which of these twisted individuals are the worst? Evil Jarling, Final Afternoon, Saurin, Lover, Captain Jackoff, etc. Do you find it funny or cringe or just sad cringe, or perfectly done, somewhere in between? Give each one of those a C, B, or T, cringe-based or tough,
Starting point is 01:14:12 evil jarring. Oh, but like, do I have to assign one each? Yeah. You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're assessed individually, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Evil jarling.
Starting point is 01:14:25 Evil jarling? I think is tough. Really? I think evil jarling is tough. Final afternoon? Final afternoon. Final afternoon is kind of an OG. Let me skip final afternoon for now.
Starting point is 01:14:44 Sorin lover. Sorin lover is cringe. But what about the song and everything? The song's goaded and stuff, but, um, you know, I'm pretty sure in GTA 5, our, like, clan was the Sorin lovers. Yeah, it was. Yeah. So, but that's kind of clever on their behalf, because there's already the conspiracy theory that I make all of these and they're just my alts. So that was actually quite a play because it makes it seem even more convincing than something I would pull.
Starting point is 01:15:15 But that's also cringe. Yeah. I'm going to stick me a cringe and then give final afternoon base. And Captain Jackoff? He's a new one. He's a new kid on the block. He can be another cringe.
Starting point is 01:15:29 And then they got, in their replies under this question, they got into a fight with each other. Who investigative replied saying, love that half of these are just Alex on his old account. Captain Jack's off said, I am unrelated to the past people, I swear, and I try not. to say Captain Jack off. That's crass
Starting point is 01:15:49 and just plain wrong. I often say Captain Jacks off to a new journey perhaps. But seriously, it is sad, cringe with nuggets if funny, but at least there's something else to talk about other than Halo or MCU Netflix shows. Then Pawnee perfectly done, replied to that saying, he's lying.
Starting point is 01:16:05 He is the evil darling. It is foretold in the ancient Pawnee scrolls. The final afternoon comes in and shuts it all down. Fair for the others, but I ascended freak of the week a long time ago, cummy. My quest spanned years and my mentions were in the dozens. Not to mention the quality
Starting point is 01:16:22 of the questions. The others are all copies and frauds. I am the original not that I don't enjoy the exploits of others, of course. Imitation, good flattery or whatever they say. Kind of fucking excuse me, kind of a Thanos moment there.
Starting point is 01:16:41 Yeah. You just like, Captain Jacks off's like the Hulk and Thanos is like, Boom. Who's Luke Cage and who's Jessica Jones? If we're talking MCU Marvel shows. Luke Cage is, I think, Dreamoff or 2-1-4-2. Jessica Jones is, let's think about the characteristics of Jessica Jones.
Starting point is 01:17:12 Kind of fiery. Noble. Noble. Kind of, no, noble. Heroic. No, vindictive. Jessica Jones Crass
Starting point is 01:17:22 She's not In aggressive Yes she is She's a hero She's crass She's badass Well I'd never deny she's a badass Ha
Starting point is 01:17:36 Ha ha My voice keeps raking and it's making me Her letter So someone like Someone made like a million different accounts And just I assume it's the same person? Because there's like the slippy jarling, ocean dwelling jarling, gentle jarling,
Starting point is 01:17:59 review tech media. Do you want any of those? I want the review tech one. Okay, they say, what's up everyone? This is rich of review tech jar. Today news story comes in from Cranker 95 on Xbox. Police report that a violent boy in small town Arkansas set fire to a local church after his pastor told his mother to tell his father not to let him play rankers on PlayStation 5 for 24 or more hours in a row daily.
Starting point is 01:18:24 Authorities arrived at the scene and gave him a harsh verbal scolding for his actions, though doctors now believe he'll now make a full recovery. But who's really to blame? Now, on to the question of the day. What's the craziest most insane thing you've ever done for a game? This is Rich of ReviewTech, JAR, signing out. Have a good one. Thank you, Rich.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Thank you, Rich. Thank you, Rich. Thank you, Rich. you rich, thank you rich. The most insane thing I've done is I think that Rayman game. Ooh, yeah, that was crazy. I've never done shit like that.
Starting point is 01:19:01 Rayman Legends was it? You were logging in on the daily. Just for five minutes a day. Yeah, yeah. But that was like your priority. Yeah. At the time. I can't remember if it was Rayman Legends or Rayman Origins.
Starting point is 01:19:15 Origins, the second one. Yeah, the second one. had like a challenge system or some shit what a belter of a fucking game though no it was like PVP yeah you're like
Starting point is 01:19:27 race ghosts ghosts or something Ghostses Duty ghostss I don't know if it was origins I think it was the other one Rayman Revelations yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:19:41 and they just have this crazy music and everything yeah I can't believe that they're over fucking hell 13 years old Rayman Legends No
Starting point is 01:19:51 Everybody Everybody Everybody Everybody Um So true Insane thing you've done For a game
Starting point is 01:20:02 Uh For the love of the goddamn game Crair The craziest thing I've done for the game I don't know I don't think my feet You got Enduro In Halo ADST right
Starting point is 01:20:24 That was easy That was hard That was for children Um I'd say like The furthest I've gone Is just like all the riddler trophies In all the Batman games
Starting point is 01:20:37 Yeah that's a pretty good one That's a classic multiple times That's a classic Multiple times is crazy Multiple times is crazy And I don't like Yeah I just had to get the fucking riddler
Starting point is 01:20:48 I do like in Um It's mad disappointing In Arkham Asylum when you get him So you just get like a cool just like it was clearly all just like added at the end yeah yeah oh no i've been caught type shit and batman doesn't even say anything um but in arkham city you get to like explode his fucking head and then you attach him to the bomb thing that he attached all the doesn't he get like a
Starting point is 01:21:12 meck at some point that's in night yeah hello i've got the fucking normal meck i've got crazy feelings about arkham night man we don't like it just um you replayed it recently yeah yeah a lot of mixed feelings. The whole game? Yeah. Not the Ridler Trophies. Is it mixed feelings as in lots of gameplay encounters, awesome, story stupid? Yeah. And annoying? Yeah, the story is really annoying. Um,
Starting point is 01:21:42 mostly, like, I don't really like how it ends. Because, like, it did the thing that, like, that Christopher Olin started, where it's, like, Batman isn't a guy. He's, He's a legend. He's like, he's more than a guy. He's, uh... The Spider-verse movies do the same thing, kind of.
Starting point is 01:22:04 In a much more elegant way, I would say. The concept of what Spider-Man is as a hero and like, who can be- Well, no, I feel like Miles, like in those movies, um, it's like, Spider-Man is this thing. Miles is still Spider-Man, but he's doing it a different way. Yeah, you know, and he's still Spirre, and it's, isn't that kind of why it's saying, though? It's like, it's, yeah. It's more than just this one dude.
Starting point is 01:22:32 Yeah. Yeah. Whereas the Batman thing, like, the ending of Arkham Knight, spoiler alert. When he, I can't actually remember. Well, he, he, like... You get, like, poison. His face... Yeah, I like the shit.
Starting point is 01:22:45 If, like, I'm cool with him getting poisoned, getting the venom. Because the Joker shit. And then he has the Joker shits. I'm cool with that. That's fun. And then his, like, helmet gets taken off. off and then everyone knows he's Bruce Wayne and then he just goes home and
Starting point is 01:22:58 explodes um like literally and then everyone's like oh I guess he's dead um but Batman's still like doing stuff and it's like oh no he's just like full timing Batman I don't remember that at all
Starting point is 01:23:14 yeah really and then it shows at the end like I never gave the shit about the story in that game yeah it's it's pretty disappointing um Yeah, it was just too reminiscent of that, that wrath of Khan bullshit with J.J. Abrams, you know, where, like, we're not going to do this thing with the story. Oh, right, yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:36 And then they just do that thing with the story. Yeah, because that whole Red Hood stuff just doesn't land. Like, because before I played that game, I watched the animated movie under the Red Hood. Yeah, yeah, same. Which is, like, the best animated movie Batman shits in recent. It's like the best animated DC movie. other than like the old school shits. What about the, um,
Starting point is 01:24:01 I can't remember how dark night returns. That's good, yeah, that is good. I see any other one I can think of really. But Dark Night Returns has its own issues being like a, it's like an else world story. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I get what you're saying. It's not like a Batman Batman story.
Starting point is 01:24:16 Whereas under the Red Hood is, that's actually worth. I just thought it would be cool if they just did that story or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why not just do your version? Do it with like the emotional impact. like that it just doesn't land when it's like you're playing the third game in a trilogy and you're establishing something that happened before the first game in the
Starting point is 01:24:35 yeah to then be incorporated into that story and it's like that doesn't really work it's weirdly like um kind of member berryish where you need to like it's the joke of when like franchise and things get so deep where it's like you're on phase four of marvel and they're referenced some TV shows yeah yeah i'm not i can't keep up with all this shit like yeah yeah Yeah. But equally not like alluding to anything is, it feels raccony.
Starting point is 01:25:04 It feels like it's being made up as it goes along. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I wasn't expecting an Arkham Knight. Yeah, I don't know why that popped out, but. Sure. I've been watching a little bit of the animated series again. Oh, really? Yeah, I finished the, the Two-Face, like, double episode.
Starting point is 01:25:25 um good ship good shit rest in peace cav rip and on that note we'll leave you with a little xd equals what is it equals three
Starting point is 01:25:45 equals three yeah equals three makes uxd equals three does make uxd to be fair
