Starting point is 00:00:00 I was like, I'm fucking cost a first map, but I'm going to get you these next fucking three. Just totally delusional? Nah, I mean, I was hoping so. I got an ace. Or just feeling yourself that much. I just say that. Get fucking goose in the search. I'm like, I got fucking shit on this first two maps.
Starting point is 00:00:14 I'm about a fry. But this reverse sweep is fucking me. Episode 30, Optic podcast. Welcome, everybody. No, Hector today. So I will be Mr. Rodriguez. I think I make that joke every time. Good luck.
Starting point is 00:00:34 So, yeah. So where's a piece of, I have no. Can you hear me that piece of paper? Every time we have to do a podcast without Hex, I'm like, because Hex is so good at just spewing absolute bullshit. Are these the call to actions for this podcast? The He'll hear real around to get really into something I'm saying. I'm like, this is boring.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Why do you care this much about this? He'll take it somewhere else. He's like, wait, no wait. So you shit today? I'm like, yeah? He carries it. I'm like, sweet. But yeah, episode 30, not a lot of topics.
Starting point is 00:01:06 today so how have you guys been how's the how is the off weeks for the YouTube I bet it's been so fun for you I've been sure in the last two days actually really fine I did did know it's so relaxing we haven't had like a week off and like the whole year yeah I think our max is like one two days like three days really yeah so now y'all start scrimms back up Monday Monday yeah so you got two more days to kick it play wars are you playing I don't know if I'm gonna play today but yeah you just it was fun though that's fun you all played in the world's Or you play in the World Series.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Yeah, that was fun. That was what, like, motivated me to play it. Yeah, I can imagine. It was actually fun. It was cool seeing all the cod pros, like, watching, I guess, specifically your team because. Oh, we had a chance. Yeah. Yeah, we were doing well.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Was it custom lobbies or just like. It was basically a custom lobby. It was in a public lobby. Like, it was the same thing. It was played out like a custom game would. Yeah. Because of the way the, but they said the way the rules were, like you ran around more. That's what I really liked.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Like, it wasn't. It wasn't whoever wins, wins, wins. You didn't really care about the win. Like, the win was, like, better, but you wanted to get second through 15th because, like, you had a kill multiplier for your placing. So first was two, two times your kills, which is, like, good. But if you're playing for first, you're not going to have the many kills, you know what I'm saying? Right, yeah. But so that's why we were going for top 15 with one, because it was 1.5 times your kills, second through 15.
Starting point is 00:02:25 So you can play pretty reckless. So they actually did it right? So it's either you can get, like, first and less kills or more kills and not first. And you can't get like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. More kills won the game. I think that's, I think because. obviously the first time custom lobbies were like ever done I think was like that H1 Zeland thing
Starting point is 00:02:41 remember remember and oh wait yeah yeah they were in like a huge arena right right and I think that was the whoever's alive last wins like literally the BR yeah and then that team wins yeah 40 people left in like like the last right exactly so I think that's so wild so random I think that makes it so random yeah yeah it's like all right everywhere same with fortnight like dude fortnight too yeah they're all in the same People who wouldn't shoot. People would make it to the final 15 in Fortnite. And, like, hadn't even shot a bullet. I know.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Like, zero kills. Like, did you ever try that? Did you know that point? Did you, or did you? I was never good enough for that. Yeah. You're like, I'm not here. There were some sick clips, though.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Fortnite had some sick clips at the end. If someone gets, like, five of the last six, and he's like just talking them all? Watching Fortnite now? Dude, watch it. It's a different fucking game. Yeah. Because they're like all the people that left They're all just so practiced at this point
Starting point is 00:03:38 Yeah They've all just done that fucking free play My left hand like literally they can't do that It doesn't even That sure doesn't compete with my shit either It doesn't even look like nearly the same game It's just That's gotta be the most cracked game ever
Starting point is 00:03:50 Yeah For sure I bet you knockout The building aspect of it Yeah Yeah Knockout City Really?
Starting point is 00:03:56 It's correct I bet you knockout City just like Because literally the first Four games I was already figuring How to like pump vacant And I'm just like Dude, you feel yourself getting... Bro.
Starting point is 00:04:06 If that is... Imagine... If that is how I'm feeling on the fourth game... I felt turn, like my first game. Right. I was like, what the fuck? Like, imagine, like, two years from now. Like, there's people gonna be doing some, like,
Starting point is 00:04:18 breaking the game type of shit. Yeah, just jukeing you. And you're like about to get... Like, juke, pump fake, turn, pass, pass back. You know what I mean? Like shit like that. Imagine just like 1V-1ing and that... What's that shit called?
Starting point is 00:04:29 The Free Play shit where you just build against each other? You build battle in Fortnite? What's it called? Created? Yeah, creative. Like, imagine just sitting there 1 v-winning all day. Like, these kids have been 1V-1ing each other
Starting point is 00:04:38 for like a year. I don't know how they even enjoy that. I guess it's enjoyable if you're good at it. Yeah. And you don't mind spamming the buttons like all day. It's crazy how they like to hurt my hands. Like keep track of like where they are on like the builds. They're actually like building through the other person's structure too.
Starting point is 00:04:53 And they're like trying to pay attention to what they're doing. Yeah. They're like counter it and shit. It's like it's like a whole different game. Dude, that shit gets you. That's like most of the game because like everyone can kind of shoot it when you're a pro. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Yeah. But like they're not even shooting each other. They're just like editing and getting a freebie. I feel like that's got to be the highest, like cracked, skilled game ever. In terms? Like micromanagement? That or Starcraft, bro. StarCraft, was crazy.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Dude, StarCrafts. Were you into StarCraft for a little bit? Did we ever play? Maybe. I played with the stereo a few times. I was like Diamond. I remember playing. I just cannon rush every day.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Yeah, I was just about to say, like, if we played, I was going to ask, like, do we ever, like, can't enrush people? You can't rush me? I, six pool you? Remember that shit? The Sixthool? I used to play with courage. You were a Cannon Rush for sure. It would have been a Cannon Rusher.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Yeah. You literally don't even, you don't even, like, it's just like, you just build this one thing. It's like a little turret, and you go send a probe to their base, and you just have them build those. And you just mine. So StarCrafts like a, what's it called? ROTS or MOBA or? I don't know. I don't know what it's true.
Starting point is 00:05:58 No, that's role playing game. Oh. I'm just dressed up as a lot. little zir unit. I'm canon. Wait, what is? There's a word for it. Explain it.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Isn't it like, it's like you have a base? Like a turret? You're like, your micro-managing. You're overseeing everything. It's like your God and you're taking, making your pros,
Starting point is 00:06:15 go build that. You go mine. You go battle there. Army. You hope yours is better. You're playing like Age of Empires. Yeah. Same thing as that.
Starting point is 00:06:22 I put that too. Yeah. Those games are Godlike. Dude. Empire Earth and there was a really cool one called age of mythology. That's an OG one. Age of Mythology? That one was super fucking good.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Like a man. just what the fuck is starboard? Yo, go to like, type in like a, look at a StarCraft clip or some shit. Like a StarCraft like crack clip. Like micro-management. Type in like micro, insane micro or something with that. What was it called a?
Starting point is 00:06:47 Microwing. APM? Yeah. Actions for a minute. Yeah. But microwing was like when they were like, you could like move all your units, right? They'd have like macros for everything,
Starting point is 00:06:55 which goes to like certain like areas of the map. But micros is where like you get an individual unit and you're moving them like along. What? They would like strafe with their characters. No joke. Or they would have like certain. Yes, dude. They'd have certain characters go to the back, some to the front.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Yeah, like dude, you remember watching people with Marines that were super good of micromanaging? Their guys wouldn't stop shooting because they would like, why, why basically with them. It was fucking crazy, dude. Yeah. Oh, so they're control. So right in this, in this clip, they're controlling. They're controlling all these little units right here. All of the units.
Starting point is 00:07:23 And then they're like clicking once they move, look, look at the Marines, like, they're like trying to spread them out. So they're like most efficient, you know what I'm saying? Holy shit. One's weak, they throw, like, pull them back and shit. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like, it's hard, dude. They'll have one group of Marines on like one, another one, two, another one three.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Look all the shit. All the shit going on. What is this? They'll send different groups. And they're spreading out all these little packs of Marines. They can't, they like, they don't do it on their own. They're spreading all them out by themselves. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:48 That's insane, dog. That's insane. That's insane. That's a lot of shit. So it's like a click drag type thing. Like, but they all have like, if you're a new. If you're a new. If you're clicking and dragging. They're clicking so much shit.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Yeah. And all the muds on their mouse and shit? Dude. Like, look at this. Look at that. Look at the spreading all their shit around. Is StarCraft the game with the clip where the dude plays with his feet? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:12 One guy's beating somebody so bad. He goes back and puts his feet up and starts playing with his feet. Like in a serious match. Like in a solo booth? Yeah. Like in a serious match. I did that at my first Halo 2 event. Did you?
Starting point is 00:08:25 It was like Winters Bracket round two and I put my feet up and was just like talking shit. I was such a tool. Sox on? Probably just, I don't know. Just one sock on? Just one sock with the missing toe? And your toe sticking for it? It was literally Winterspocket round two.
Starting point is 00:08:42 My first fucking event. Oh my God. And I'm just like, they're with my feet up, just laid back. Do you know how different gaming is? So good on land. I know how different gaming is now is like, didn't you get, you got penalized and you had to sit out for a first minute of a game and you still won the game? Your team still won.
Starting point is 00:09:03 That shit would never happen nowadays. Wait, what map was? I don't think it would. Wait, you won that map? You won on slot three before. That's so hard to do. We were, we were in status quo. Are you serious?
Starting point is 00:09:15 Yeah, they got it, they were up, they went up 3-0 in the CT at one-stop flag. Like, while I was out, they capped three flags. My teammates failed. Like, I know it's hard. Dude, that's fucking hard, Nick. I know it's hard. Onslide? Down a man?
Starting point is 00:09:30 Yeah. You're the all team shodding top middle and you're spawning. So my teammates did what they could. Yeah, they probably just lost full of you. They were like, bro. I'm dying because of him. You're sitting there. And he's still blaming his teammates
Starting point is 00:09:42 fucking 20 years later. You're just looking at the ref. Can I play yet? He's like, I fucking hate you. But they went up 3-0 on outside CTF. And then by the time I'm picking up my controller again after a minute, they're like running in the fourth flag. But we like somehow stop it.
Starting point is 00:09:56 And then I think we end up winning like five to three. And I was shitting. Yeah. How did you talk shit after that? That was my head. That was a higher. After that map. What?
Starting point is 00:10:05 If you win, what? And then game two in that series, Nera Slayer, I had the, like, best game of my life. Is that when you were talking hell of shit? Like six.
Starting point is 00:10:12 No. I got the tech playing against Ryan Mube. And then like, Nocturnal, Colonel. I thought you were talking about you got to sit up for a minute. Isn't that a tech? It was game five against Ryan Mub's team.
Starting point is 00:10:22 I'm talking hell of shit. I know we're going to win. It's like Construct Slayer. It rolled over. Yeah. And it rolled over to the different series. Oh, shit. I'm so confused, bro.
Starting point is 00:10:31 So he talks shit game five against Rynube. Oh, in game five. We played Rynood's team. We threw it over to game one against SatoSquo? Yeah. That was game one. Yeah. Oh, that's horrible for status quo.
Starting point is 00:10:41 They're like, we suck. That's horrible. You know how nice it would be? Dude, that's like a free game one. Like, that's such a shit role. And it's just like, if they beat you in that, you guys are like, this is so stupid. I already lost a series. Now you guys are like, these guys are horrible.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Right. And then we ended up going game five with Satiswell, like, and winning like 5048. I wish that was the best series of my life. So that's what you said. We beat Ryan Noob's team for top four. I talked so, I got three technicals in game five. It was so annoying. Was it on featured?
Starting point is 00:11:14 Yes. Wait, that's a few because Ryan Nebula on Featured is fucking annoying. That's his throne. Dude, he's run shit on featured. Wait, is this on film anywhere? I mean, I don't know. Was it on stream? It wasn't even on stream.
Starting point is 00:11:29 No, if it's on feature, it's going to be impossible to find. Well, they don't even, on the feature, they don't even stream like anything but the, they stream I know they used to save like MLG VODs or whatever. Yeah. I don't know if they did that with Cod. Whenever I, yeah, whenever. Yeah, that shit's just gone. Whenever I first started like trying to research for like an actual Halo doc whenever I was doing that, I, I messaged Adam and Sundance, I think, just saying like, do you have any of the halo footage?
Starting point is 00:11:53 And I don't even know if they ever got back to me. I've heard rumors that it's all on SD cards or hard drives somewhere, like all of them. Yeah. Yeah, I've heard that too. I think I was on tweet that or something. Like, somewhere in the MLG studios. Like they have it. All of it.
Starting point is 00:12:06 They have all the footage, but I don't know. That would be great. Just scrubbing through all of that would be so fun. I wonder why they took that off the internet. How I got good at Halo. Like, imagine me, Logan and Mugsy going through all of that just trying to find like Halo documentary footage. There's probably so much good. Remember how they just have like individual vods of people from series?
Starting point is 00:12:24 Yeah. That's what I want. That's how I got good at Halo 3. I wouldn't watch like a little bit of pistol, a little bit of legit and a little bit of snip down. I was like, I'm going to just do all that. Do they, were those actually your people that you watch? Yeah. And I was like, I'm going to copy all the play sales.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Ola legit and snipe down. That actually does kind of, that is. That is kind of like you. I stole a little bit from everyone. See, I would say who I watched, but you'd be like, that's not you. Mine would be like Ola. Probably Ola, neighbor, and I don't really have a third. It was mostly Ola and neighbor.
Starting point is 00:12:59 I just thought of such a funny joke. I can't like put into words like you know that you know that like me when it's like it's like fuck how does it go it's like what you expect versus what she sees versus like what you get like you're looking for Ola but maybe you'll you'll go for fucking you'll get neighbor I don't get a neighbor and then you don't want maniac you know what I'm saying like that's the meme okay that's what I was going with it sorry I'm the third shitter I'm the third shitter that no one I want it's like oh uh but yeah that's fun you have like them too and like uh reliable neighbor but what I'm saying you have a little bit ol in you I'll give you that you had like sometimes
Starting point is 00:13:35 we'd stay alive and I'm like why can you shoot that every time that's why you're not Ola you know like sometimes you just because Ola does that does it every time I tried to do that Ola just does it yeah but what I'm saying you would ran and hit snipes too that's neighbor I keep trying to go but what I'm saying is like you're fine you're fine is like imagine nowadays especially like in the cot like in the Cod League or like the HALO 5 imagine in the HALO 5 where that rule was still applied like you have to play the first minute a man down. I don't think any team, you'd be so jock.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Right. I don't think any team on any FPS nowadays could handle that. I don't know. That Hale 5 fucking Splice team look pretty gross, dog. Yeah. Gross. Like, gross. I was watching their shit recently. They look gross. Yeah. Yeah. Because Opta looked pretty final and they kind of like bullied them in some events.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Yeah, and some of those kids are cracked, bro. Depends who you're playing against. One of them gets a text, Stellar has to sit out for a minute and they still win. Maybe you're right. I think it takes to win a HAL-5 game, like a CTF on, what's that map? Once everyone gets snip clips on. Okay, but, everyone gets snip clips on. In his, I don't remember the Halo 5 names.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Oh, Colson. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, in his situation, it's a top, you're playing for top four. Or you're playing in top four. We're playing, yeah, playing for top three. You're playing for top three. Yeah, that would never happen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:51 A top three, for a top three match, like, imagine, I mean, that's like, well, that could be kind of easy to do in a hard point, I'm to be honest. Really? like a first P1 or something that's doable. He's got 60. You might as well just if that would be happening Kai, you would just like rotate to the new hill automatically.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Yeah, like, you would just chalk this first 60. And if S&D, like, it's just one round, you're like, man, it's not bad. You just stall time. I guess I never thought about it like that. Yeah. Shit. It should bring the cap the hardest point.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Like if it's uplink, that's different. Now you're down 12-0. Instantly. True. Yeah, yeah. Or CTF. Now you're down 5 to 0. Like in any of the Jetpack games,
Starting point is 00:15:28 you're just down. Five flags in a minute. Yeah, that was a pretty, I'm wondering if that rule was even like in the fucking, how did they come up with that rule? They just did it to you. No one else ever got teched. No, someone else got that. Not that I know of. It was, um.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Some dog shit am? No, it was like one of you guys. I thought it was like Wes or something. No. Or shit talking. Damn. I don't think anyone ever had to sit their controller down. Yeah, I might just be thinking of you.
Starting point is 00:15:57 But yeah, it was because I got three techs in one game. that's dude that's a Ryan new feature station series yeah three texts in one game yeah because bro they were talking shit so I'm talking shit how do you even get how do you get the tech while playing they just tap you on the shoulder
Starting point is 00:16:12 no they're just like that's a tech that's another tech and then the game's over and we win you fucking son he's like that damn third tech you probably say and then clap comes over to me he like pulls me off the station
Starting point is 00:16:25 like no he didn't do it just jokes like pulls me off the station brings me to the side and they're like discussing like what are we going to do about this? They're like well you just got three texts and okay what's the rule
Starting point is 00:16:38 like and I'm just like yeah yeah I fucked up I guess and then they just tell us everyone we're just like what the fuck I know that you were too happy at that I wouldn't you be like I don't really care like you're just like that's fine yeah yeah I really I was do whatever you want bro I'm frying
Starting point is 00:16:55 yeah bro you I didn't think it would be that much of an advantage either I thought they'd get a cap maybe two at the max. Yeah. Bro, onslaught. It's an onslaught. Like you're saying, it's relentless. I'm just thinking the game starts off
Starting point is 00:17:08 and my teammates maybe kill like one or two. But it started off three to four dead. Except they weren't killing me. They were keeping me alive. That way, like my team, they know my teammates are going to spawn there. Oh my God. How do you not lose?
Starting point is 00:17:22 I don't know. You can run the flag on the onslaught probably in like 10 seconds. Yeah. Easily, right? Yeah. I mean, they cap three. They were running in the fourth. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:29 I think I literally. I think I was on like the A corner just like they were just letting me sit there and then I can finally pick up my control That's crazy Chuck a Nate Yeah You're like I'm about to frown that we just went five three that's crazy you they had you spawn in well I guess yeah you're just You're just sitting there like controller sitting there This guy's just standing a character is in the are against the wall now that would be hard and hard point Yeah spawn in you're just spawning spawning you just be in the cycle right away yeah for a minute
Starting point is 00:17:59 Because then that's two hills. Because you get... Unless you just go instabake it, then you win the map. True. I put my controller down. I pick it up and we break you? Like, you lose. I'm like, yeah, not this shit.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Yeah, that is true. Yeah, well, that was... That was a good little conversation. All right, so the first question we have. Let's get right into the question since that was... That wasn't a question? Bit of a... No, we were starting talking.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Oh, all right. Somehow we went into StarCraft and to... Anyway. Hey, love. What the fuck? We just been sitting here like, I'm like yeah Who?
Starting point is 00:18:31 It was like So does anyone care about the questions or are we just gonna whatever? How important is calling out the names of the opponent players for kills and callouts? Does knowing the player affect the way you engage them? And does that mean you're remembering all of the opposition play styles if that's too easy of a question? What's one of the more unknown? That is the hardest question we've ever had. What's one of the most unknown skill sets of pro players that fans don't normally pick up on?
Starting point is 00:19:05 This is a good question, though. It's a long five questions. Thank you, Jackovsky. So how important is calling out? That's his name. Yeah. Thanks, Jack. Thanks, Jack.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Thanks, Mr. Rolf. I would read it, but I can't. Okay. The first part. To answer the first part, yeah, you play it's like situation. If you're a one-v-one with someone and you ask your teammates who it is, that's why you ask. You know you're going to play differently. Yeah, especially if it's like AR sub-player.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Yeah, it makes a difference, you know. Yeah. But I don't know what the, what was the second part? Skill set? Yeah, what's like a more unknown skill set of pro players? I don't know. I guess like comms and stuff just. You wouldn't know.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. One thing that I noticed, like, I played a CTF one time randomly with Snake by Incott. and I called something or Blake called something out and then he said I heard you and that's the first time I've ever acknowledged like Acknowledgement callouts are a thing too they are like I hear you they're very important I picked it up along the way somewhere they're very important at you guys is a level because you don't want to say something like four times right no one listen to you right If someone says that or like if someone's like in the middle of dealing with their own little thing they want you to know like I'm working on that give me second yeah they don't just think like are you guys listening because if you know your teammate heard you you can I'm like okay you can take care of that I'm a
Starting point is 00:20:28 go do the shit. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll change up what you're gonna do. If no one hears you, you're like still holding the L trigger. Like, you guys heard he's in the corner right there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's one thing that, I mean, I think that's a meta that's changed because I don't think it was always like that. Trying to remember the comms from like Blackups 2 ghosts. I don't remember that many, like, I know it was in Halo.
Starting point is 00:20:46 That's where I got an inhale three from one of the pros I play this one time. I think it's a I think it's, I think it started from Halo. Like I feel like good callout started from Hela. 100%. We don't have a radar. That's why. There was no radar. There was no mini map. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:21:01 That's why. Even when you were shooting in Haino 3, there was nothing. You just had to rely on comms. Wow. That's why they had to be good. It's such a team shot. It's just team shotting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:10 You have to be on point. You have to like. Amplified? You got to be on point. And that's why you have to know like names and stuff too. Yeah. It's like so and so is weak. Ola is still alive at blue.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Someone will go clear out Ola before this stuff is like bad. You put into a trap. Like yeah, it's different. Damn. Yeah. Yeah. But, okay, so how is that, a second part to the question, how is that different in, well, I got another part. What's the difference in like, respawn in S&D in that sense?
Starting point is 00:21:40 So like in S&D, you're like, there's one more alive, who is it? And then you play off of that whether they have an AR. If you know it's someone who's never playing their life, like if like we're pushing like a mosque out or break the P3O, right? And we know cells alive in the back. Like he's doing some ratty shit back there. Right. He's hiding. Like he's there and he's getting a corner.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Like he's, you know what I'm saying? He's going to try to kill one of us. Right, right. You stay alive and buy time and shit. But if you call it out and it's like a main AR, you think they're holding down the way. Yeah, but it's like a main AR, you're just going to assume that he's in like a power spot in the back somewhere. Trying to get a kill. If it's like a sub, then you assume he's like in a corner or some shit.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Especially like on like more open hills or more closed than hills. Like if you know if it's the AR sub, you know, you can just run at the guy or like if you have to be like way more cautious. Like he's obviously. It's just like, yeah. He's gonna play way more cautious. Right, yeah, yeah. That makes a lot of sense.
Starting point is 00:22:25 sense and what's the difference between that like call the duty and halo in that sense where it's like you if you because in halo it's such a team based game that it's like not it's not based on roles is it more just based on keeping up with people um bro if i know nix in the back i'm playing that differently than if it's ola you know what i'm saying ola like you're approaching ola different or if you know i'm on your flag compared to ryan new being on your flag like if ryan's on your flag it's a good one you're like it's getting pulled it's getting He's pulled and it's going to get a kill. They're going to do something weird.
Starting point is 00:22:58 He'll probably pull it and then make some rat play. He's always trying to get the 1V4 pole and cap. Just we're going to be like, idiots. You know what I'm saying? He's going for that every time. But if it's me, it's like I'm playing it slower. I'm making sure I don't get averaged. So it's like you can probably take your time a little bit.
Starting point is 00:23:13 I'm picturing you on warlock, like tucking the flag on your finessing their flow. And they're all over top middonshire. Yeah. But if it's Ryanube, you know. He's like, he's holding it. Yeah. You're like, where is he? Like, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:23:23 It's different. You're doing some weird shit. So, yeah, that applies for Halo as well. It does apply for Halo. I'm sure that applies for... It's weird how everyone sort of has their own little... It's just things you remember. You scrimmed all day.
Starting point is 00:23:35 You scrimmed out of people. You've noticed shit. Every day. Yeah, there's like teams play different. You can notice player juice for shit. Who would you say is the Ryanube? And for everyone, I'm sure none of you have heard of Ryanube. Rinoob's like that ratty...
Starting point is 00:23:47 Just that ratty halo player that, like, stays alive. That's the weirdest plays. You're like, what the fuck is he doing? But then they end up... tapping off of it. Might be Dill. Is it? Really?
Starting point is 00:23:58 Dill gets behind like every team like somehow. Somehow. He does. They play for him and he still gets behind him at some point.
Starting point is 00:24:04 I'm like dude or like an MW I'm always running through my smoke but you don't know how I'm going to run through it? Dude, it's like six different ways of working fucking
Starting point is 00:24:09 now do you play it to where you're like oh they think that I'm going to be flying. Now it's like now it's like they have to hold the flank. Yeah. Now it's like a strat last year
Starting point is 00:24:17 where I'd smoke the cross like every round and I just wouldn't even flank half the rounds but I know it's me so they're gonna think I'm in the base. Like they just have to watch it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:25 There was a beast when I was watching over on Petro, I'm playing like watching tracks. I see him go left and I'm like, all right, you can fly, go ahead. And they're playing for him like in the blue dumpster area, the three of them. I see his little like, rogue over there. And they see like one smoke,
Starting point is 00:24:38 I hear doors being busted. I'm like, I'm trying to help you. I'm like looking at the buildings. I'm like throwing me and like, I'm trying to get someone and then he just has three kills. I'm like, oh sweet. Like I'm stayed up.
Starting point is 00:24:47 And he does it three rounds in a row. I'm like, wow, He was still getting away with this. It's probably like Shotsie, bro. He'd be doing some rogue shit, but it always works. Shotsie is a rash. Yeah, actually, that's true, too. Shots is a good one.
Starting point is 00:24:56 He'll chow you when you're, like, not expecting it at all. Actually, yeah, that is how Rineau played. Yeah. He would randomly chow you no shield and try to, like, shit on you. Yeah. And you're like, what the fuck? Oh, my God, I didn't expect that at all. And then he'd kill you and he had full map control?
Starting point is 00:25:09 Yeah. Do you remember what he did? Do you remember when he got that killing Roy? Yo, look up a Rineauau, triple kill, Raleigh, 2011. This is a perfect example with that This was in the finals When instinct was untouchable And this was on a fucking insane run in losers
Starting point is 00:25:24 They took this out like before They won like 13 maps And they're right there I was like my new shit's right there This was sick as fuck look at this And Roy was like a god at the time bro Roy and Roy all over like This is when instinct was not going to lose
Starting point is 00:25:38 They just won even before this without dropping a map Think about that They just won Anaheim not dropping a small map Who is it? Who's interesting right now? The twins and Ola and over two look look he's like absolutely right here like oh my god wow rewind that wow dude that's such a hard like little fight yeah the strafe was really crazy right look he's like still one shot and that's roy who like doesn't miss dude you think you think
Starting point is 00:26:05 roy was blaming that on bloom that's first map no yeah probably that's crazy someone else getting cracked back in the day it just like he outstrafed him dude just didn't miss all Halo was. Royal 2 on CBS. Yeah. It was shit on us so bad right before they played this final. This is right after they did us. Dude, I was playing good against them.
Starting point is 00:26:25 I wasn't. I was so mentaled. I know. Dude, I was that I shook that day. Yeah. You were. Bro.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Wait, did we beat them in pool play? Or no, it was the first time I played them. Like, our teammates had just gone to their team, right? Yeah. So, like,
Starting point is 00:26:39 they hated us in show. Oh, yeah. And it's the first time we match up against them. We're in losers finals. So we just lost the instant game five on Beaver Creek. Remember? You probably don't remember. Were you all teaming? Yeah, we were team in time. This is at Raleigh. We're playing instinct in winter finals
Starting point is 00:26:50 Game five. We lose Beaver Creek by like 30 and I was like, God, they love Halo 2. And then like, And then like we walk towards the stage we have to switch sides. I see Ryan Noob smiling at the bottom of the staircase with Blaze smiling And I'm like wait you guys be dynasty they had to be in six maps. Digny had a three oh lead in continuation mess of 11 and they won six three I'm like bro best of 11 and losers finals no that they were in loser semis playing for top three and dynasty was like a fucking top three team. I was like, no, they're going to take care of that. Let's just go play dynasty. And they already three-o-ed them. And they six-oed them, like in the time that we got three-oed or game five. And I was like, bro, and I was like, bro. And I was like, bro. And I was like, bro. And I was like, bro. And then-old-old. And I was like, you know what? Like, everyone's like, I was pretty good. Like, he has a, he has a weird ass play style too. But. But you know, wait. We were teaming with it before.
Starting point is 00:27:48 And it was like, you know, he's pretty good. He's all right. Yeah, he's all right. But dude. And then he, like, he was by far the best of player. He got known his Raleigh plays. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Because it was like, I love shit. But he, like, never really did any, anything like this again. He had one. He's, like, running flags. And then, like, randomly turns around and no scopes two of them and keeps running the flag. Like, like, some shit that's not possible. Right. It was like, unreal.
Starting point is 00:28:11 And just, like, keeps running it. And just, like, keeps running it. I'm just like, what the hell? I don't even know if he goes. got like M he did get MVP wait did APG I think APG might have APG got and everyone roasted them yeah yeah and he was like dude what I do so so the team that one was uh Blaise blaze Blaise Ryanube TJ and APG they were grossed that and crazy they're all wearing no it's crazy how you think Ryanube APG lethal and then Blaze but blaze fucking dominated I never
Starting point is 00:28:46 anything like it. No bullshit. That dude was doing everything on the map. As much as you can do in Halo Reach, he was doing that. And it was just like everything. That shit like that. See, like that doesn't really happen in Cod. As far as like somebody having like a insane event. I mean Kenny had a few crazy stuff in World War II.
Starting point is 00:29:03 But I can't, I'm trying to think of like an event where you're like that person, that was their shit, like the whole event. Usually you guys have like series. IW. Chamis so I was kind of fine all the whole time. Yeah, yeah. Wait, what was your question? like one event where it's like that person fried the whole time. But what makes it crazy is because it wasn't,
Starting point is 00:29:24 like Blaze wasn't a formal, he wasn't a Roy. He was a role player, bro. That's like, he was like, it was like, who's a cod player that you would say is almost like,
Starting point is 00:29:34 like he sort of just filling the role. Like a team base. Like a Damon. Like he was playing like Damon Wood and Halo. Right. Yeah. Like he was trying to fill every gap and run the flags and play for the win and shit. But like Damon's,
Starting point is 00:29:45 known as like a goat. No, but like, Dan's always been like a gap filler. He's like super good at just doing whatever needs to be picked up. I'm just trying to think of like a person. No one in the cot, like no one in the Halo scene. People know of Blaze, but like.
Starting point is 00:29:57 It's a hard role to play, bro. Because like he plays so weird. I'm just trying to think of someone in like the cot scene that's not really like does, has zero cloud on their name. That's more what I was talking about is like someone that is not considered a top five player and then they have the tournament of their life.
Starting point is 00:30:12 That's more what I was talking about. And then just somehow fucking. It's great and call duty like you can have a series right can like make you Remember at um 2014 at um uc niagara i think where cole was about to get eliminated by some kid or he got knocked down to the losers by some kid named um what was it like stunner stuner stunts something like that yeah yeah i remember that that one b three ghosts yeah just because a one b3 off the Twitter was exploding literally off the it was something it was something It's like the craziest head witch.
Starting point is 00:30:47 Yeah, bomb for him. It's like the craziest heady in ghosts. It did look icy though because it was just like the situation like yeah yeah. Yeah, yeah. And Cole was like coming off their run right? Yeah, yeah. What? How did they went to Mapps against that?
Starting point is 00:31:02 One thing that after they lost that, they went game five round 11 versus Nihil's team in Losers round one. I know. All side station. Do you remember how many people were watching that shit? And then they went a crazy one after that. Yeah. Yeah, and then they won the whole tournament.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Just played the whole day and just won the whole tournament. Literally won the whole, dude, that was the quickest finals. Oh, wait, were you in the finals? No, I wasn't. Okay, okay, okay. I got limited at six, okay. I didn't play them either. Wait, you were on phase black at the time?
Starting point is 00:31:26 Yeah, I was playing with Brian Stain. My teammate didn't show up. Oh, yeah. I got like top four, top six. It was good, I'll take it. We had to play through Ambracket. Yeah. It was a gauntlet.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Because we lost all our pro points from Saints. Holy shit, yeah, that's crazy. I remember sitting there watching the Losers Finals. I'm sitting next to the NB players because they're about to play. Yeah. We're all just sitting there like on the floor watching. And like I remember one of them, it was either Haggy or it was aunt. And they were, one of them was so shook of coal.
Starting point is 00:31:53 I was like, bro, if they play complexity, this shit's over. Yeah. They're like, no, they're like, nah, they better not make it back. And I was like, what? I was like, we better not make it back. Damn. And I was like, you're fucked. You're fucked.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Yeah. Dude, that's when Ian had that like six piece. Dude, that, that coal team, if they started, they got going. like yeah this cause gross that like crim six TP Aks Clayman and Damon uh yeah Damon that I mean that team was they became kind of final yeah that team won't that team went on that crazy run you guys in blockups three one on that crazy run or AW IW I guess I guess all three all three you guys went on just in runs in general oh yeah just like winning winning tournaments I guess in all three jet packs yeah yeah we had how was
Starting point is 00:32:42 Is the, I forget what team they were on, but like, Kill, Miracles, Paraside. Or, oh, Curse, Curse LV and Ghost. Well, that would Impact, yeah. What was their, what was their team name, Impact? Impact, yeah. Who was it? Parasite, Killa, Miracles. In Ricky. That was Curse L.V. And, weren't they?
Starting point is 00:33:00 You're thinking with Damon before they dropped Damon. In Black Ops 2? Yeah, that's Damon. How were they so good at Black Ops 2? Well, apparently the thing is, is they won three, they only won three tournaments. Was it three tournaments back to back? Yeah. Like from a fan standpoint or something?
Starting point is 00:33:16 Was it? But it was just, were they not as good as what? You know who the kind of fun was Miracles? Mere, it was like his first three events and he won the first three. Oh, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:33:23 That's crazy. Yeah. He was like, Lance fucking easy. Especially someone like miracles too. He's just like, this shit's easy. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:33:33 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they, they, I don't, I think they get kind of get overlooked,
Starting point is 00:33:40 but it was also like so early and, and Cod was just like blowing up. So as Cod is blowing up, there's one team that's winning. And so they're considered like the best team in the game and like a dynasty. But in reality, like that coal run is, I mean, it's not even comparable. It's dirty. Yeah. It's like impacting them.
Starting point is 00:34:00 They won like three, three tournaments, four tournaments. And then they once they won that tournament where they're like yelling at Stro. Yeah. Yeah. And then we were there, Nick. We were there. We were at a Halo 4 event. in the same room.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Really? Yes. We had we put an FFA in like two v two tournament a 44 tournament. There's a two v two yes bro I don't remember that at all. You were teaming you were teaming with fucking that guy that paid for you guys You Scott Red reside Rediside Is that event? Oh my god
Starting point is 00:34:29 I remember I looked up with cod guys I was like packing on my shit I was like what's he saying I hear the choochoo thing I'm like what's going on over there bro I think something Well that's an amazing podcast so far I have to say, but we have to take a little bit of a break to talk about two sponsors today, ExpressVPN being the first one.

Starting point is 00:38:50 No. Yeah. It was bad, bro. It was me, Ace, Cloud, and Rediside. You think that's true? What's funny is that morning, that morning we woke up and just started like chugging 40 ounces. That's how serious. That's how serious we took Halo for.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Wait, we were all drunk. that whole event. You remember? We were like playing the FFA drunk like yeah we were like let's put the money, alright let's do it chart it. We were playing on games games games. That was such a, it was such a like a ratchet event like it's like three teams like what the fuck. Wait was it was it was so the HALY so Halo was so Halo was so Halo or some shit it wasn't like a different yeah I don't even I have no recollection of Halo 4 so they umg was like we'll throw the tournament too over there in the So you like step their foot into Halo and you guys treated it like that
Starting point is 00:39:39 just like never mind Well we just treated every Halo 4 event They're like what the fuck They look at their room they see kill us screaming they see us drinking and shit They're like on Mainstay This is a joke They're like they're not gonna pay out or something like what is this? We're legit
Starting point is 00:39:58 It's because we were with AGL or whatever for like multiple events and it's just like Dude, what a sight Yeah, that's a horrible. That's a rough cycle. I've been that dude's house. Really? You're showing me shirts, yeah. He's like, check out this formal merch.
Starting point is 00:40:12 I was like, thinking myself like, dude. That's so bad. It was like, it kind of nice, actually. I like the blue. Yeah, no, that's dope. I was in his house. And he took the term, I'm like, yeah, I mean, like, yeah. You're gonna pay out though?
Starting point is 00:40:23 You want to pay out? You want to pay out? He didn't. And he just disappeared. Really? No one knows where he's at. And he made people buy team passes. Everyone bought team passes,
Starting point is 00:40:33 and he just left. And just ghosted everyone He stole like I don't know how much money like 20k of team passes They were like 250 bucks each And there was a lot of teams He was like hyping up the event and shit he's like yeah keep buying them And then he just deleted everything was like I'm gone Just disappear
Starting point is 00:40:49 No one's heard of a word Really? Ten years later He surfaced really Yeah like a little seal for air He's like holy shit hate Twitter And then someone immediately snatched him like a polar of it They're like, come here, Brad.
Starting point is 00:41:07 That's the name Brad. AGL Brad. It sounds like someone's going to scum us. That's our own fault. Brad? AGLBrad. Brad. Brad.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Brad or Chad. Are stealing your fucking team pass money. And you can't be surprised. You're like, dude. I mean, it's Brad. You're like, dude, fuck. Got us a gun. So I guess the next thing on the topic is...
Starting point is 00:41:28 So how was it being back on land? Because that was the first time you guys played land in a year and a half? Two years? 16 months? Holy shit It was weird It was weird It was weird
Starting point is 00:41:40 It was weird Like what it felt weird Yeah Like land The gameplay felt weird That like the environment I was imagining the environment To be a little bit different
Starting point is 00:41:48 I think because we didn't have fans Like Just quiet And you're just It reminded me of the MLG Columbus arena They were pumping white noise Into like the whole arena
Starting point is 00:41:56 That's What? Yeah so like You wouldn't be a main stage You're just like walking from the stage And you just hear white noise Yeah It was just a whole time
Starting point is 00:42:03 Oh that's weird Yeah I fucked with having our own rooms though. Oh, yeah. That's the highlight. That was the highlight. We were like a little vibe. First day we're blasting music all getting turned.
Starting point is 00:42:13 We shot point six. I was like, yeah, no more music. I was like, we were way too term for that. We walked in like, it's map one. Feeling ourselves? Listen to too cocky. Do you ever hear the song too cocky by YG? I was like, put on your game day playlist.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Just like, this is such a fucking like, That sounds like such a dashy song to be listening to. It's such a fun, like a good song. Like, it's just such a funny song to listen to on game day. You know, you're walking like, yeah. What the fuck? I'm feeling myself. God, damn it.
Starting point is 00:42:45 God damn it. You're like, what went wrong? Me and Dillon like, I feel good today. Yeah, we're like, we feel good. You're right to come out Friday. I'm like, yeah. Let's just hail these guys. Sunday morning.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Oh, it's the music. It's our time. Like, like, too many Sundays have gone wrong. It's our time, dog. I feel great and he's like me too I'm like league plays like I'm down we're there an hour early and shit yeah just get three oh or three one just like you're like dude I fucking cost of the first person I got you the extra yeah I was still so fucking to do it it was like I was like I'm fucking cost a first map but I'm gonna get you these next fucking three totally delusional no I mean I was
Starting point is 00:43:23 hoping so or just feeling yourself that much I just say that get fucking goose in the search I'm like I got fucking shit on this first two maps I'm about a fry I mean Oh dude, that's hilarious. Yeah, that's one thing that the counterstrike, whenever I was like traveling with all the optic teams, that Counterstrike, the way they treated their teams is so much different than like Halo and Khan and gears. Because like they got their own rooms, they got their own practice setups. They made sure that there was like fruit baskets and like entire fridges of like water and soda and energy drinks and all that shit. Was the fruit fresh?
Starting point is 00:44:03 Yes. The fruit fresh. The fruit was fresh. And I was wondering when that was going to come to God, but it looks like, I mean, that's a pretty good venue. I think it was like a COVID thing too. Yeah. Oh,
Starting point is 00:44:13 they had a mixed pro lounge. Yeah. I actually liked it way more this way than the pro lounges were. Yeah. Like fighting for a setup. It's like, that's like, that's whole shit. Dude. People are taking shit from the stations.
Starting point is 00:44:24 I just got PTSD. Dude, I forgot about this. The Halo pro lounge. There's always something wrong. Someone takes the fucking, the optical from the mix out. And it's always. The shit players I need one
Starting point is 00:44:35 I'm like what We're taking Stealing it Just going home with this Yeah He's like yeah I'm broke I'm like okay And it's always the shit players
Starting point is 00:44:42 That like are just in the pro lounge Yeah The top 16 squeakers Like security guards Double checking his pro pass He's like Looking at his jersey Like
Starting point is 00:44:52 And there does all He's just taking up the pro lounge There's about to be like a pro lounge And then a VIP pro lounge Like they just make it even more exclusive Do something Right it's just like Pros
Starting point is 00:45:02 Better pros Pros, real pros. Dude, I forgot about the pro lounges, dude. One time I was in the pro lounge, just chilling, and I looked over in Pumage is just shooting bots. How are you in here? Dude, you remember when you pull to a station, and there'd be like three teams out of four,
Starting point is 00:45:18 like already kicking up all four, there'd be one person on like the last, on like the first scene. He's like, I'm waiting for my squad. No, I'm saving my team. Like, yeah, no, we're screaming them. And your whole teams are like, get the fuck up, dog. Yeah, like what?
Starting point is 00:45:28 Like, it's just such a stupid situation of being in. And they're like, no. And you're like, bro. Like, get up. Like, your team has to sleep. Like, come on. So now you guys, so you guys were able to scrim out of that, out of your rooms? Yeah, online, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Yeah, that was kind of weird. We scrimmed online the whole event. Wait, from your rooms. Yeah, because like we're playing a team in another room. It's like far away and shit. It's not like land. So it's all four of you in one room? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:55 And there's not, like, I didn't realize there's not like land on PC. Yeah, there's no land on PC. We would start in the games and it was searching for a servant. There was like a host, like a host golf. Yeah. We were playing on like 20 ping in our warm-up room. And then go playing and land on stage. Also, with different monitors.
Starting point is 00:46:09 What were the, were the monitors on the main stage? Oh, yeah. I saw a bunch of people talking about that. Yeah. Oh, really? So the monitors were different than the ones at the... The only thing that I had a problem with was that we didn't know what setting was the best. It was like level one through four and the four said fastest for like response time. If you were on like level four, it was only...
Starting point is 00:46:26 We got like bad frames, but like you're on one-m-m-m-m-s. Yeah, and we put on like level one and be on like 10-10-M. But you get better frames or some shit. I hate that shit. Dude. Where it gives me something to think about. I'm like, oh,
Starting point is 00:46:39 you just one. Let me just change. I'll just change. Level two. Yeah, I'm on level two. I'm going back to my center. The person was on level four before.
Starting point is 00:46:44 And I'm like, now I'm like, you're, okay, what's the best shit? You check their stats. Yeah. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:46:49 and they were like shitting the last game. You're like, what were they on? I'm like tapping back. Yeah. Who was on my setup? Like, dude.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Dude. In halo, I remember I want to sit down, I'd always go to like Roy's profile Or like Ola's and just change the name See what he's playing out No I'm just like I'm just gonna take his Cause I'm taking fucking like
Starting point is 00:47:04 He was like a good example Was like a shit player Fucking Robbie B Yeah Damn Rip that guy Whoever Who dude but horrible
Starting point is 00:47:14 Yeah he was bad right He wasn't he wasn't I mean he was like He was on like warriors somehow He was like squeaking by Yeah like top 12 So was this the first land on PC No it wasn't the first land on PC
Starting point is 00:47:28 Yeah Wait it was It was. It was. Did it feel better than online? Yeah. So what you guys were playing, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Whenever you guys were like screaming at crime or whatever, that was, that was land, but that was on PS4. Yeah, it was on PS4. Yeah, it was on PS4. There was like actual local play. Oh, yeah. If you look out in like MW or. Yeah, there's no local play. This game is the first game on PC.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Mm-hmm. Okay, okay. Because I played all of MW on PC, but I forgot the pro scene wasn't on PC yet. Damn. So there's no, this is the first land on PC and there's no. real like local play yeah I mean I guess it's a real plan right yeah yeah well there has to be because a lot of e-sports are PCs I think PC based are just I'm sure it's way easier to run yeah it's way easier on games on like a PC as opposed
Starting point is 00:48:13 to a PlayStation yeah that's true a PC can handle like everything yeah you get to like experience the game at like the full value you know I was just weird because like we're like so late into this season that like playing the game on land was way different than like playing MW on land for instance the beginning season and knowing what was like and then playing online the rest of the season yeah it's a weird little switch up oh yeah yeah going from land to online to online to land like it's weird yeah i guess it's bound to happen right because the way the COVID happened eventually was gonna just gonna happen i wonder if you guys are gonna start doing like prelands and stuff like we used to would that help
Starting point is 00:48:47 but like would that like see the thing is we can't preland there's no there's no way to land dill an mw we can't you all just like look up to like the same router Yeah, we're all on the same router in like damn sports arena like I don't know what gets you to that page where it's like you know when like you're searching for games and if someone hosts up then it appears You join that yeah like I don't know what makes that a thing because you know I'm saying that's a good way is it local play? I thought local play was like plugging in same control to this to like your thing it's like split screening local play or system landing is like local area network I don't know it's so far remember so far my head I miss that little screen where you yeah Let me refresh. Oh, there you are. You join it?
Starting point is 00:49:31 You can see all the land lobbies? Yeah, you're like, yeah. Imagine how stressed Roger would be setting up a PC local or pre-land? Just, I don't know. He loses shit. I'm just bitching the whole time when he does. All right. He always does.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Let's do one more question. Another question for the guy, seeing how much you have all grown as a group and as an org over the past three to five years. What goals do you want to achieve in the next stage of your lives? steep that is very deep i just want to get tatted like this guy over here i just want to finish my tats and get fucking shredded exactly and stay consistent with my streams every morning one hour
Starting point is 00:50:13 one hour consistency is key i feel like i bring solid i do i'll give you that you put your effort in every time i get i have a solid two to three you were saying earlier like in the mornings i have a solid two to four hours of energy. The rest of the day, I'm chalked, but... Yeah, because I know that, like, most of your day is just laying on the couch watching TikToks from the amount that you send me, and the periodically,
Starting point is 00:50:37 you'll send me one at, like, two. So I'm like, okay, so you went home and went straight to your couch. Send me one on, like, two, and then, like, one at, like, four, 50, I'm like, okay, I guess he's back on the couch. And then one at, like, eight. I'm like, are you on TikTok all day? Have you not left that couch? Yeah, are you scrolling down?
Starting point is 00:50:52 I found three good ones in six hours. I'm just, I've just been imagining you, like, just scrolling a time. you started the fucking TikTok sending thing. Yeah. The funniest. They're hilarious. They're so relatable. When you get one sent to you?
Starting point is 00:51:03 Like, and it's like, you know the person knows you're going to laugh at it. It's just makes it so much funnier, too. Yeah, like, I would always see seeing you scroll through TikTok.
Starting point is 00:51:09 I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, okay, I guess I'll download it. And now it's like, it is pretty entertaining. People are fucking funny on that shit.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Before I tried it. And I liked it. Yeah. I fuck with TikTok. I was like, nothing will be funnier than Vine. So I'm not going to like download it because Rip Fine. How did how was TikTok a thing if vine isn't a thing?
Starting point is 00:51:25 What's the difference? Vine got bought out right? No, they got the band. They got like shut down. Yeah. Really? Like, oh, I remember it was like a huge thing. Oh, I thought like.
Starting point is 00:51:34 They got like banned. Like no, you can't do it anymore for whatever reason. I don't remember why. Yeah. Hmm. Not the search. Maybe because TikTok was coming up and they're owned by like billionaires. Be true.
Starting point is 00:51:47 But one more one more thing that I was wondering is do you think the next has it been announced yet about Halo next year the competitive is it no i don't think anything competitive wise has been so we don't know if it's going to be on pc or xbox pretty sure it's said pretty sure it said pc and xbox or something but i'm saying the the the the oh with the competitive scene whether they're going to play on pc or xbox because if they play on pc that means i'm assuming it be pc so i think gears is the only one left that's still on console that's actually kind of crazy crazy I mean what about like is there anything but about like super smash tournament well they they still on his like crossplay but
Starting point is 00:52:31 like Davis you were right Twitter bottom out yeah Twitter bought out Twitter bought out in 2012 and then just like for 30 million and just shut it down five years later yeah did that because they were realizing like that could blow up bigger than Twitter and they're just that we're gonna absorb you well they wanted to well that was before What are you going to do with 30 mil? They're like, still like a startup? They're like, no, we'll take that. That was before like, I think that was before.
Starting point is 00:52:58 You guess you just put that? So, I'm eight weeks. Do you remember you could link your vine with your, with your Twitter? And when you posted a vine, it would pop up on your Twitter feed. And that was the video. Wait, what? So it was before Twitter, before you could upload videos to Twitter. And then you uploaded a vine and then you would see the vine.
Starting point is 00:53:17 And then they just cut vine and then allowed you to upload video. to Twitter. I think that's what happened. What? I still don't following it all. So you couldn't upload videos to Twitter back then. At one point. They bought Vine and then you could link your Twitter with your Vine, upload a Vine that would show up on your Twitter feed. But you could also just copy
Starting point is 00:53:35 Vine. That's what I did. I didn't have it. I didn't own a Vine account. Right. But I could find when I like and just copy the link and throw it up on Twitter and it would just upload. Yeah, I know. You're saying before that you could do that. I'm saying, but you could do that where you could watch the Vine, but you couldn't upload an actual video. Oh, you have like click the link. Right. You have to click the link. Or, Or it would like show up as a preview and you could play it, but you couldn't upload actual videos.
Starting point is 00:53:55 And so then when they allowed you to upload actual videos, I think they just shut down Vine. Do you like, you know, Vine's kind of blown out. Yeah, probably. 100%. Throw a bunch of money on them. See what to do. Like, yeah, they bought it the first day. Probably wasn't even a bunch of money.
Starting point is 00:54:04 That's crazy. It's like as soon. Twitter? Yeah, really. It's like as soon as Vine gets bought out, musically starts popping, that turns into TikTok. And it's like, you shut down one thing and one another thing. Twitter tried to absorb TikTok and they said, no. They're like, no, we're going to blow the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:54:20 It was just people like mouthing on musically and they were like there's no way that's gonna blow up Like mm-notes-notically big Because I feel like I didn't hear anyone talk about it It wasn't like big but like people heard of it Yeah if you ever saw anyone mouthing and it looked weird and they were singing a song that was musically And then it turned for some reason why is tick-tok just sounds better Yeah like somehow it just exploded some at some point I woke up one day and everyone knew what the fuck tick off was I'll see the most base
Starting point is 00:54:50 sick, not funny. Just, and I have, like, 60K views. I'm just like, how about it? I know, but it's like, how is this even getting 60? There's like some in the coding where just throws it up on people's four you pages random. And it's just like, yeah. Zero likes or zero thing? I'll get those.
Starting point is 00:55:06 I'll get those. I'm like, out of there. Literally like one life. I don't want more that shit. Give me out of there. Oh, back to 1.2 million likes. Let's go. I'm like, let's go. It's my face. It's the best shit. Yeah, like, this is the best shot.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Like the 80K likes. Those are the ones that will be really funny randomly. I find like, I know you guys haven't seen the shit So this is gonna be funny as fuck If I see one with like 4 million likes I'm like, no, you probably have Like the bass one that had cock Remember I saying you the one with the fish?
Starting point is 00:55:32 I'd have to watch it again I got you I've watched I've watched I just like them watch TikTok Like late now I'm like I'm like laughing in bed and shit I'm just like I'm gonna save that one I'm gonna send that someone else I'm gonna save that one I'm gonna send that someone else like

Starting point is 00:57:08 And if I was on my phone or something, I would have stepped in shit. What do you think what happened? What do you think the guy was just like?
