Bro, Halo 3 customs were so fucking... I never knew this game existed. It was fucking amazing. I love zombies. This type of shit, duck hunt. See, it's fun when you have a sniper like Hector up here because then he's like missing and people are getting to the top. People are jiggling in the middle of him. They're noticing he's not hitting shit so they're purposely just out.

Yeah. And they're still missing. Not even trying to get across. It would have been so fun with Hector sniping. Hector on a joint just missing everything. Everyone makes. He doesn't get a single kid. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to welcome you to Optic Podcast episode 270.

watching that shit today for sure dude what do you mean on bod VOD like you can watch it from home Apple TV on X's account oh the new avatar I've been counting out of buying it on Hex's account I don't even watch that shit hell yeah I don't know watch that shit I've been waiting bro

we have a rule right like if you think that I might like this movie buy it on mine if it's anything like Christmas musicals and all that shit they usually buy I usually fit the mold though usually there's some like rogue ones here and there, but usually I'm almost. I'll start buying more because I'll look every now and again to see if you bought more. And like, why don't you just buy whatever you want to find?

I don't have your fucking password to you, what do you mean? I click, I click. I click. I use what I watch whatever is already there. Whenever I try to buy something, it says like confirm with phone or password or something. Next time just I'm just confirm it and I'll get it. I'll get it. Yeah, it doesn't go to your phone.

You just have to like double click the power button. It'll go. So it'll go to Hexas phone. Yeah, and I'll say yes. Okay. What are you trying to watch? I don't know. Maybe I don't want you to know.

I'm going to know anyway. I can not see that. Are you the one that keeps on watching the Formula One movie? No. No, I've been... It's not me. I've turned it on like once or twice, but I'm like, this sports fucking...

No, that movie's got like... I did hear it was really good, but I just scroll on TikTok. It got... It got shut. Like, that movie didn't get... when a fucking Oscar get out of here. Oh, if there are all those nominations. Guys, I'm in a bad mood today.

Why? I just, I don't know. I just woke up and I just looked around my, around me and I'm just like, man, like, what is wrong with optic? How can we better this thing? And I'm, and I just keep coming back to one thing and one thing only.

Podcasts? Riley? No, no. No, but I'm just, I think, I think, I was just getting it today, but he's not. I think, I think this is residual anger from what happened this past fucking weekend. And I don't think it was a dope checker. I will say like I think I yeah I mean because everyone was so excited the boys were playing so good and then it did seem like that was the it was the we were going to win. Yeah.

I just what I want to say ahead of time is that people need to look up the the difference in a dictionary the definition of excuses and then the definition of reasons and factual storytelling. Okay. First of all, I we have we have lost more than we have one period. That's just the way things go. We're, we're, we're, we're, 20 years into this thing, when people say that we're complaining about something or, like, I didn't even complain about nothing. I just fucking walked away.

Yeah, I was mad about the loser of the winner's disadvantage and it's just like a factual thing. That shit's faded. That shit is so faded. Dude, people are just making shit up. We have been complaining about the format for years. Yeah. It doesn't matter who's in the finals. And then they like cherry pick,

Because, oh, yeah, we lost. It fucking sucks. But then they cherry picked. They're like, you guys never talked about this before. It's like, y'all motherfuckers just don't watch. That's why I don't get on Twitter. I just don't get on Twitter. I just don't get on Twitter.

Because people just say shit, they don't think, they don't watch. I don't get it. I don't understand why they wouldn't at least do like two best of fives because. Oh, my God. What advantage do, does the. Just a very, very slight veto advantage. And you get to pick what team you want to be. So you get to pick team A or team B, which determines like what order the maps are picked.

Yeah, it's so slight though. Yeah, no, it's not enough. It's like, would you rather have that or would you rather be able to like play in losers, play in a match, be warmed up? Like, I feel like that's. And then again, I even said at the end of the watch party, I was like, listen, yes, it sucks how we lost. They came out red hot, you know. But we also tied the series one-one. So it's like, at that point, we were warm, and you can't make an excuse after that.

But, again, the format needs to change. It just, it has to. And I saw a couple good suggestions. They're obviously not going to change, like, the format and the schedule and how matches are played. This is what it's been forever, and we've just been barking up this tree. But what if they just threw the challengers final in between the losers final and the grandfinal? And nice, both people? Here's a better idea.

Why don't you, the winner, get to say, hey, you, all of you, pack? up your fucking controllers and all your shit and move over to the next side of the other side of the thing. But that's the thing. They're not making it up? No. Well, no, we could have taken Team B and or actually, I think actually team A we get side pick. So we get to pick what side of the stage we're on.

I don't think. No, I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. Isn't that how it was? We got to pick what side of them? Yeah, I would have, everyone. Any time that we were in this position, like me and Seth were in the position a lot.

Yeah. Where we're sitting in the back, we're watching Lugus finals. We're not even warming up. Like truthfully, you can't warm up. You get two bots, but that's like, dude, they're playing a fucking pro match. Yeah, like we would play two V-Vers and times, but that was pretty much it. What if I bought? There's no one to scrim because everyone's eliminated.

Okay, but what if I pay currently a set of 2x pro or 1x pro? You could do that. What if I have a challengers team that I employ to make them warm up with my players? Nobody does it. No, okay, but I did try to do that. And they told them that they couldn't play. See, I wonder what they were. They told them that we couldn't warm up.

against the huntsmen. The huntsmen were there ready to warm my guys up. They said no? And they told them no. Yeah, that's ridiculous. I don't know. I don't want to,

I don't even want to get to the bottom of it anymore, man, because I just think that like we're literally screaming into the abyss. And if we stop screaming into the abyss, they're just going to win. And so we can't. So we're just going to have to be in this perpetual fucking argument with a fucking wall. Fucking to fucking no one. Well, again, though, it's, it's, listen, people are going to watch this and they're going to be like more excuses. It's like, no.

Okay. We've been saying this for years and years and years, no matter who's in the final. Every single time that it happens when you can tell that, like, one team just comes out so hot because they just played. It's frustrating to see because, again, the winners bracket team, in any scenario in a tournament, you should have to lose twice. We didn't lose a series until the grand final. So we lost once. We lost one series. You should also be able to warm up besides.

Every other team had two lifelines. Shooting bots. I want to know if you should be able to warm up besides shooting bots like you shouldn't I wonder what the call was for the challenger's team to not be able to play them if it was just like a call they made up on the spot or if like

they're really strict with who they left backstage I think that's probably what it is so like if you're not a pro player or staff or you know camera you can't go backstage may I point towards the three stages of the ascension from casual to call of duty pro okay

what is the fucking point, man? What is the point? And excuses, give me the excuse that I've said. Give me one single sentence in which I have verbally or on text said, the reason that we lost was because of this. Show me once. No, but people do that all the time. Like, we'll be on the watch party and we won't even, well,

it really only comes out when we're talking about our team, but we say the same shit about every team. And they just say bias. but we say the same shit no matter what we see we call it how we see it and we say the same thing so it is what it is bro again

it's just people not watching and just regurgitating what other people are saying because those people aren't watching either and they see that and they're like oh then that person must know I'll tell you what's good for experience and there's rage meters too yeah oh yeah like there's a lot of rage

but I'm one of them H's King rage page that's why I didn't go on Twitter now after the tournament just just Rage bait. Yeah. He started replying.

He'd be replying to people. Well, I think he's just trying to get the clicks. I rage bait on Lee. I respect more than he is. I love. Dude, Rage baiting is fun,

but it was a fun major to watch. I know there was a lot wrong with it, but it was, it was very fun to watch. It was fun to have a major again. I wish I would have been. On a lighter note. Yeah, it was fun as fuck to watch.

I wish we would have won, but, dude, watching those matches, like, you can talk about it because you're now doing your, your full-time watch party. Dude, the online matches, to majors, it's like

Oh, dude. It's not even close. The fact that we just watched 11 weeks or whatever that was. It's not even close. It's fucking crazy, dude. Dude, just the level of like matches go up, like overload becomes hell of fun to watch. Yeah. It's just, that's six weeks to get the major

finally. It was just such a breath of fresh air. Yeah, yeah, that was insane. How many online matches we watched? 66, this split. It was a fucking crazy. Yeah, 11 weekends or 11 matches one every week. I love Call of Duty, but that's crazy. Forgive me.

Oh my God. Forgive me. Yeah, it's 66 matches, but it's like how many of those matches were like, all right, this is going to be a banger. And then there was 18. Like 66 matches, maybe 18 of those are like matches. And six of those were like last week because of like they meant something in the terms of the seating. Right.

And then it'd be a 3.0. It's like you get two good teams finally matching up and then one of them just fucking obliterates them. It's like, come on. Yeah, like one sixth of the matches are like what you want to see. But I mean, like, that's kind of, what else? That's just, that's just how everything is, though, like basketball. Basketball is boring as shit till playoffs.

I mean, even football, like, sometimes the team will be so far ahead that it's like, okay, their last five games don't even mean anything. Dude, what's crazy to look at this from like the standings is that not a single team on this list got the placing that, like, is in correlation with their online thing. Yeah, Miami and Riyadh played like. Not a single team got the same placing, which is just like, it's, I mean, dude, I don't even want to go down this path. again, about talking about online, but like, we've

nothing else to watch. There's nothing else we can judge off of, but like, it's just another reminder how much different land is, like, dude, Vegas just won. They just got six on line. Toronto's got third. Yeah, they were eighth. We got second. We're pretty much the closest. Teaves isn't third, but they didn't get third. Yeah, I mean, it's just like,

it's kind of crazy. What these get? Eighth. They got fourth. Four. Four? Eighth. Most surprising, obviously, seventh eighth, Riott and Miami. You thought they would do better? Yeah, Miami looked like the second best team in the game for a bit of the split for a majority of the split.

And then Riyadh, we had them like third throughout parts of the split. And then Riyadh came to the tournament and didn't want a map. Another thing about Miami too, dude, okay, so fuck the format, like the finals format. Miami had the same thing happen to them on Friday. For whatever reason, the CDL wanted to schedule Mates versus Heretics right after Mates beat whatever the fuck it was. were like, wait, mates play again? Optic got a break and they got to play Koi, like last. But for some reason, they made Miami play right away, play a

mate's team that just won a series. Same stage, just fucking go sit up there and play against them now. They lose. They dropped down on losers and get through it by thieves. Like, that was their tournament. Yeah. Like that's, I do feel bad for them. I think Miami is much better than eighth.

Yeah. And like, so my point is, is like, they also dealt with something where a team just came off of just playing and then they had to sit there, spawn in and just be like, all right, let's play. And then you lose. and then it's like, well, shut. I remember seeing that and I was like, wait, mates play back to back right away? It made no sense.

It actually made no sense. Then what Miami was sitting for a little bit? Yeah. Miami's first match against a team that just played. Whereas Optic, instead of having, you know what I'm saying? The way that the schedule was, Optic should have been last. Miami should have been last, but Miami just got put up on stage and playing against mates. Yeah.

And then they lost and went home on day one. Yeah. Which is just, I mean, second worst feeling, right? Obviously, first is fucking not having winners advantage in winners. And again, I'm going to be singing the same phrase for anybody. If it's Vegas, L.A. in the grand finals, I'll be singing the same fucking song as we have been for the last five years. I feel like it really comes out when you can tell that one team is just obviously like in way more rhythm. Like you could tell Faye is on that Colossus map one.

Dude. O4 was walking on water. Yeah. I mean, he was just two piece, three piece, two piece. It was fucking absurd. Was that his first event? win? O-4s?

And O-4s? And Abuza. Because they kept getting second last year. See how they had that schedule? Especially, especially like Abuza who saw how many

second places with Serge, right? Like, super happy for him. Obviously, he was going fucking absolutely off in all the way through.

Like, he's just like definitely a top top AR and anybody who discounts him as that is... Wait, who? Abusa.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, he was fine. Yeah. He was, sniping, you know. Those two kids are in their first trip for sure. Yeah, for sure. And that's the thing.

Riley, if you can bring up the movie Troy, the scene in which Prince Hector is fighting Troy, and then Prince Hector trips over a rock, and then Troy says, get up, Prince. I'm not going to let a rock steal my glory. Steal my glory. This goes out to every single fan out there.

I'm watching that today. Especially members of the Green Wall. If we are ever in a 1V1 scenario, don't scream. Don't take the glory away from us. Let us lose if we were supposed to lose, but let us win and let us win it on our own. Bro. Please. It was actually hilarious because there was one round when we were getting sneak diffused on and everyone was going crazy and then we were trying to sneak defuse and it was dead silent. It was the Ex-Bo? Yeah. It was dead silent, bro. I was like, yeah.

Keep it. Keep it. They're so calculated, bro. They're so calculated. You could hear a pin drop, bro. Nobody was like, oh, you couldn't hear anything. I wonder if the players can hear that. You ask yourself. You feel the vibration. You feel the vibration. No, I mean, like, when it's dead silent,

if they can feel like, what the, what the fuck? He's disarming. In their mind, they're like, there's no way he's on it. Because they're playing the crowd. Yeah. I just wonder if it like throws him off. But he was on it. It just goes dead fucking silent.

They were like, something's wrong. Now that's a fucking mind game. You have a mind game inside of the game. game and then there's a mind game IRL it's like wait they're being quiet he must not be on it but then he sneak diffuses then you're like fuck now we don't know again it's like you don't know who to trust what man me yeah anything else I'm literally I'm forcing I'm forcing myself not to say more the fact that they weren't able to scrim though that is like what the fuck yeah what the fact I I'm still curious if that was like a on, like a call that was made. I'd love to hear of reasoning. Yeah.

I would love to hear it. If that was a call made right, made up right then and there. Like that was like something in the rule book to where like, let me tell you something. Because in the past they'll be like, well, no other team from winners got to warm out against another team. We can't just allow you guys. But that's because everybody left though, right? People, pro players leave. They don't want to fucking stick around to help somebody.

They're out. They're out. They're out. They're out. So we had a challengers team there because challengers, according to the fucking logo of the CDL is one of the fucking three major pillars or steps to get to the ascension of call a duty professional. So we finally step in. We're trying to utilize them the way that they're supposed to be utilized. They get practice against the pro team.

Pro team gets warmed up. Everybody fucking benefits. What happened? Nothing. What? You don't have credentials? Okay. If Tom Hardy or if the entire cast of the peekie blinders showed up, you would give them passes, wouldn't you?

Yeah, okay, well, Optic has been in an organization has been around since the beginning of call of duty. Okay, we have credentials, and if page says these four are huntsmen and they can, and they know they should be allowed back there. They're not, they're not, what are they going to do, steal fucking monitor? What are the, what, I don't understand why not.

I want to know it. I'm going to get to the bottom. I'm going to launch an investigation. God damn it. Timudini has to say. They don't have to play that match to get into the finals, but the team that gets into the finals gets to go in warm and,

fresh off some momentum. We're making this a big deal. It's a big deal. We've been crying about it for years, though. Yeah, people are going to... One thing I don't get, though, is apparently the league didn't let us scrim Huntsman before the grand final. All right there.

He said the league. We don't know if it was dream hack. We don't know if it was like the league itself, okay? But whoever it was, all they had to do was ask for credentials. Page would have been able to provide them. They would have been able to provide their challengers passes. So they would have seen that they were part of it. the fucking show.

Please, let's move on. Goddammit. This was gross. Shotsie? This little sneak play? This was disgusting. This was like some shit I would have done in HALO. He's so smart, bro. I was doing this shit in 0-9.

Let's the first guy through. But I would have killed that guy. Gets the two-piece, knows that that first guy is already too far up the map to be able to turn around and he has time to run it. I mean, it was just such a, just such a heads-up player. Big brain. Big brain. Yeah, I feel like in Cod, you don't see.

see many plays like that. Like it's kind of just fucking run and gun kill whoever wins the gunfight. See like a high IQ play because cod players are dumb and shit. Bro, like how... It's nice to see, Anne. I know you were the smartest.

That's what I'm saying. I don't care if you don't know the flag of Bulgaria looks like or whatever. So long as you fucking have those brains in game. You know what? I'm tired of people saying Chatsy's dumb. I bet he's smart as shit. It's a bit, bro. I've been saying it's all...

Yeah, it's all. He's a genius. It's an elaborate bit and he's become... I don't know about genius. Well, but he's... I have a theory too. He's become the jokester like the clown. No, no, Superman.

But out of game or... But in game, he's super smart. I mean, there's been studies that came out that people that play video games just in general. I don't... You're proving it right now? Well, I just don't want to speak and say... I forget what it's... Because I can't remember if it's...

have a higher IQ or their brain works faster. They're just quicker decision makers. Yeah, I'm not sure which one it was. They evaluate risk quicker and make a decision based on that risk. But yeah, no. People are just like, well, in game, you don't die. In reality, you fucking do. You should.

Then you should. You should. Yeah, look, he's Superman, right? He, like, he plays dumb the same way that Superman played weak. But when it came down to it, he was. Okay. You get it? You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, no, I know. You know, I'm saying. I'm trying to set it better myself. There you go. Anybody that's watched Kill Bill knows what I'm saying. All right. Maps and Weapons coming to season three. You guys talk about this, guys.

You don't give you shit. I haven't played Cod in a while, bro. I play Call of Duty Warsone. I haven't downloaded the game. Yeah, I saw you on Warzone last night. I was logging in to check my great vault for the week on Wow, and I saw you on. Fuck's funny. I just think the season three stuff.

Yeah, you need zombie stuff Dude, you can't laugh, dude You were in the depths That's why I'm laughing So I know what kind of hell you're in Dude, Cold War I'd come in for scrims And Matt would be doing dailies I'm like, bro, you're fucking tourgast

I walked in once and Matt was flying around And I'm like, what in the fuck are you doing? He's like Yeah, I said this shit's hard to get Numbers fucking flying everywhere It's hard to get Cool We have a beacon, abyss, plaza

Hossies This all multiplayer shit I mean there's all war zone Call-Duty Warzone Stop Right Gridlock, Summit, Plaza I mean, yeah Basically they're just making it B-O-2 and B-O-1

I mean, you got Summit in there I'm not the highest on Summit being added to the whatever Or Plaza really, but I think Hossi-Indo should be looked at to be put into the pro scene For sure. Summit can go fucking back to B-O-1

You want to get into another fucking one? Yeah. They're not going to add maps because what are the two maps that they said they want to keep around Blackheart and Colossus I think I don't know Blackheart wasn't played once the whole weekend so I'm not sure it was picked in like one series but it was Map 4 though it was a Ravens it was picked in once but it wasn't played and like the rest of this

I just never watched it the whole weekend you didn't see it right it was Den Hardpoint Expo overload and like one Colossus like two Colossus Cy Colossi yeah yeah pretty nuts I mean gridlock should be looked at to be added Hossian should be looked at to be added even though Hossi was played last year I think Hossian is still a very

little gridlock overload. I feel like that'd be... Yeah, that'd be good. Since you can't snake the 18, it'd be good. Yeah, like you push through showers, they spawned back left. Yeah, I feel like gridlock overload might be nice. Gridlock search, hossi search.

Those are red and butter. Those are good. Yeah, those are both good. All right, Joey, also known as Ordi, Ordi says, eight matches played yesterday and for today. All 12 matches team vetoed Blackheart. It's almost as if the map is horrible

and should never be in a competitive map in the first place. literally face off map and then Spencer Peterson legend's been around from the beginning of time he's a fucking MLG alum he says couldn't that also be because teams are good no nope nope

spinner Spence nope it could be but it's not we're looking at map changes for qualifiers but it's not yeah they're talking about at least oh nice but don't worry we're looking at map changes for modern warfare M3 qualifiers stay tuned for that thank you spin spence because before it was we're not changing them but now okay now we got a little

they're looking into it it so at least there's a little sliver of hope Spin of Spence, can you follow Riley by the way? I did peep that. Raleigh, he instantly scrolled down fast as shit you saw that. He's like he didn't want to see what I saw it. But yeah, I mean, this event

if this event didn't show you that we need new maps then I don't know I will because it was the same maps. It felt like every single series. Like I think on Friday I think it was Den Map 1, overload map 3, 3 out of the 4 series on main stage.

So it was like we were just watching the same series over and over again. I wonder what percentage of viewers think like that though. Because as a fucking complete normie who like I haven't even downloaded the game, I just enjoyed everything I saw. It just seemed like. We need more of you around. Well, yeah, but I'm a casual. If you watch every single match,

we obviously see all these matches or maps in the online split. It's like once we get to the major, we'd love to see a little variety. Yeah. Yeah, it's also I don't watch any of the matches in between. I'll like only watch the majors You see 66 matches watching Den and Expo you're like Holy five

I thought How good was Plaza and Beattah? Eh It wasn't that great But it's like one of those Nostalgia Maps It looks colorful It's dark

It's like Miami It's cool but it's like a good pub game A map just because it's variety Yeah no Plaza is I mean it's okay I don't think it would be added to the map pool But it's just like one of those Feel good you know maps

that... Yeah. I mean, I wonder what Beacon's like. I don't know if Beacon's any good. I mean, that's a map that they're coming in with. That's brand new, right? Yeah.

If it's 6x6, it's supposed to be like... I saw the layout of it and it reminded me of a map. I don't think a miss could work. That looks like it's just a giant submarine. I mean, Colossus is, though. But, eh, I don't know. I don't know what those maps actually look like.

Riley, you got a video of those maps? Beacon looks familiar. I can't put my finger. I don't know why Riley was highlighting snipers only. What is that? There's going to be a sniper's only. Okay.

Ham and all the fucking montage makes me happy as fucking. Bams back for a week. Have you still been grinding ranked or have you kind of been chilling a bit? I've been chilling. I've been chilling. It got pretty boring once you didn't play with me. Sorry, bro. Damn. He said once I dominated everyone.

Are people grinding, are people, are the people grinding rank getting like decent viewers? Like from Pascott? I mean, Col Havocke. He's kind of like, he's kind of like, he's the guy to watch. To be honest, I think Colts' viewership has kind of like dropped compared to like B06 When I used to watching B06 You'd have like 5K every time

Yeah, I mean everyone's done across everything though just because of like all the Good games that I do have been called out now Yeah There's definitely different games Dude what map does this look like What was that map in Cold War The Snow Map?

You know what I'm talking about? Friends fried bro I can't remember what it was called I smoked by every day Oh are you talking about Crossroads? Yes Crossroads. It reminded me of that

when I first saw it. I can kind of see it. You kind of see it, right? This reminds me of dome. Wait, go back to the mini map, though? This looks more like dome. I remember this map. Like, because the satellite.

Look, the Skybridge, you have the two buildings. Yeah, it actually looks a lot like that's, yeah, that was my first. And then like that top lane of the map kind of looks like the tank mill. Yeah. See what I'm saying? Yeah, see what I'm saying?

It's actually all coming back to me right now. I mean, that map was pissed. but... Kind of like that. With X-M... When people had the X-M-4s, bro? Yeah. Kind of like that.

Dude, they were just lasering. Yeah. I'm just glad that there's no night maps anymore. That's, that's it. I fucking hate dark maps. It did look like this, man. Can't see. There's different satellites.

Ah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Caught ice and it was just like the whole side of the map. Yeah, I just he's somewhere on the left, bro. Might as well just say left. But yeah, I mean, it's great to have these old maps returning.

It's just, A, what are they going to do with them? And B, listen, I love the old maps to death, you know, but I would love to see. Don't you want to see just like a new banger come in? Yes, good originals. Like a fresh map come in and you're like, yo, this might be the best common map of all time. Tuget, Tunisia? Like, randomly. Like, that'd be awesome.

But I'm never going to get mad at them adding these maps. I would just like to see a little bit more, you know, new maps, originals. Promenade. Not just recycling. I mean, it is nice to see Spence actually publicly say it. They are looking into, you know, adding stuff for major three.

That's great news. It's probably going to happen if he's just saying like that. It means it probably... Oh, yeah. He went through the checklist and shit. Can I say this? Yeah.

At least, like, we know that Spence is not going to hold... I hope that nothing's changed with him and he's not going to hold back and tell people like what's really up. This looks fine. Because I feel, yeah, this is the... I'm a fry it out.

I'm a fry it out. What's it say? I'm a try it out. Okay. So I'm going to try it out okay If you think about it And there's something that we used to talk about Like DJ Vaughn right

There wasn't there. Oh, fuck man. Skates. Skates. Just imagine me, a 17-year-old, just skates. That's good. That's really good. But yeah, Plaza's a nostalgic one.

Hopefully people have fun with it. Does the Warzone Grapple gave you aim-bought? I saw this. Let's take a look. Does burnt peanut save Halo? I want to know if he got some kind of like deal for that. Oh shit. I don't think I don't like that the money to get peanut.

Wait, what the fuck? He's like that's all the proof we did it. Well, he's doing with a bunch of other streamers. But I mean, like some, it's played Halo in for the class. They did it while the event was going on. Yeah. So I just thought maybe they had like a deal. Yo, I'd be so tight if I died like that.

Yeah, this shit looks OP. He's like, wait, who are you scorpion? I'm pretty sure it gives you a in-ball. I need to casually. play war zone. That's what I mean. Blackout is actually... I literally play I play casual war zone every night.

With who? With fucking pill pusher, some other dude. Some other dude. Yeah. Friends from high school who never played Call of Duty before this. So you look like an alpha? Like you know? No. Hell no, bro. Like, like... I'm literally... No, I'm literally, bro. I am so... I am so...

Stay the fuck up. I am so stoned between the hours of fucking 7 and 9 p.m. That I'm just fucking cracking up the whole time. But best times. I told Jude, I haven't had fun in Call of Duty like that since like the original Umu Day.

Hell yeah. Literally enjoying Call of Duty. There you go. Good for you, man. This mad as I am about the fucking reality of shit. Wait, what's the burnt burnt peanut? It's here to save Halo. There was a Halo tournament. Did you watch any of the Halo tournament? Did you do a watch party? no no there was not bro the I think the viewers

uh I think it was only a LVT stream unless I'm wrong I didn't see a halo stream live but it was like 600 viewers for a hundred K tournament it was 100K that's lit I saw 600 viewers for the LVT stream well they can't run it during a cot tournament I mean obviously remember that that's duck hunt male 3 yeah this is uh this this was always a fun. Oh, what the,

yeah, they're playing like custom games, like late-night customs. It's just, it's, this just pisses me off, honestly. But I was just,

it just shows how Halo still has everyone's, like, like, like people in that call will still play Halo. You know what I'm saying? It's not like,

it's not like, Peanut only one, was the only one to play this. Yeah, yeah, it's like, they're all down, like Nick Merks and Summit and fucking,

you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. He was, like, grinding ranked. That's him sniping them all. He's not missing a shot. Yeah,

No, Summit was grinding rank for a bit. Yeah. Like, even, like, during the HES season, like, he was. I know. I played with him a little bit, too. Yeah, no, Summit plays a little, man, man. Legend. Everyone loves a little halo.

That's what I'm saying. HALO is instilled in most games. Not me. I only like it because y'all like it. I don't know. I don't know what the answer is. People were almost asking, like, would a BR save HAL? I forget who asked me that.

No. Would a B.R. safe halo? And I was like, ah. Dude, it's just, if it was done perfect. I still don't even know. It's just so hard to like... So hard for companies nowadays, these game makers to like actually execute a game that has legs

and people want to continue playing. Like yeah, new game comes out. You'll have fun with it for a week. But to actually get people to keep playing it, it's just so hard. Yeah. Like Arc Raiders, they did a fantastic job.

That shit's still going? I mean, it's not as big anymore, but it's still definitely going. I think they fucked up. Didn't they like, I mean, I haven't played it, but I feel like the reason all those players were on that game right there is because they've been like playing other games and stuff because when they play Arc Raiders, they get streamslite by hackers and Arc Raiders isn't doing shit about it. Yeah, they're switching it up every now. Yeah, they've been playing like CS and Apex and shit.

Like, I mean, game comes out, games so hot, it's like everyone's playing it. Viewership's insane. And then it slowly tails off. Then the cracks start to show. People get sick of it. They go back to the other games they like and rinse repeat. That's just how it comes. So it's just so hard to make like that the real hackers

He wants to like impress the oh my god Summets a beast He's actually hitting crazy shots I mean he just didn't missing that whole clip bro I know that was nuts the power of the fucking suburnity I got him just fucking smiling man Looking at all the death His 12 year old self is coming out right here Bro Halo 3 customs were so fucking

I never knew this game exists fucking amazing Like a shit duck hunt See it's fun when you have a sniper like Hector up here because then he's like missing and people are jiggling in the middle of them. You know, yeah. They're noticing he's not hitting shit so they're purposely just out. Yeah. And they're still missing.

Not even trying to get a crawsh just fucking. It would have been so fun with Hector sniping. Hector on a joint just missing everything. Everyone makes it. He doesn't get a single kid. I want everybody to take note that I am not defending myself has if this team. this table was filled with other people that weren't fucking world two world champions

multi fucking team I would defend myself but what am I going to say to them okay sometimes boys are jokes about I only have one trophy in call of duty they have I don't want to tell me how many do us three have combined notice that I said these two A lot, holy shit who's this

random clip Oh this is for me Raleigh's been Rally's had this in the sash You know why did you just Just bang bank Yeah This is professional play, by the way.

Duck hunting and screams. Duck hunting and screams. Do you miss these days, Matt? Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah. I loved Halo. No. But I do you miss playing online.

Hey, how good was Nick? Like, if you were to say like a current pro player in Call of Duty, like, who would he be? Don't try to shit about my sniping and you say, let's go. I can't give an answer. Who's been getting absolutely railed? Who's in last? I can't talk shit about someone in Cod because, like, I can talk shit to Nick.

I think Nick was not that good at Halo. Okay. But I don't think I was that good at Halo. I think you were. Damn, bro. But like, in comparison to everyone, you think you're top 25? One of us.

Okay. I don't think I'm top 25. Okay. So then I can't say. But I mean, you're talking, this is like asking where his brains at, it's not like, was I good at Halo? Where's his brain?

Could I perform at, like, a top level? Okay. Which occasionally. I did. And I could. I've seen you absolutely dominate and I've seen you absolutely get dominated. So like whatever that means. You got reality check, dude.

We've won an event together and you were dominating. We lost some events together and you were getting dominated. Yeah. But then there's, wait, we lost events together when I was getting dominated? It's the reason you didn't get jobs because you're friends. Instinct, Winners finals, game five, Beaver Creek T.S. Oh, yeah. Remember that?

We all did. I don't remember that at all. You got dominated. I don't remember that at all. You ford it, but you more than that. I'm just making that up. You made up that whole fucking... See how you almost believe me?

That's how I know you were getting dominant. That's right. No, I know there's certain series like in my memory. I'm like, I got fucking dominated. Holy fucking 160 P. Yeah, that's when I was... You said, you know.

Disney's apparently, in talks about acquiring epic games, Like, what would that go for? More than $69 billion? Let's take a look. Is that Fortnite? Yeah, to build, I mean... What else's Epic Games, though? What?

What else is Epic Games have? Fortnite, they have Rocket League, I think? Oh, yeah, that's true. I think Rocket League. Oh, sure. Those Jedi games, the Cow games, the Redhead guy from Shameless. But you're losing me. I think that's epic.

There's like three different universes. Oh. But I'm just trying to think of all the games. Like a Star Wars? How far can you back? Fall guys. Like Seth is doing it right now. They had Fall Guys.

There's probably other games that I'm forgetting, like big ones, but. I feel like I have downloaded stuff on Epic before. Yeah. Needed the Epic launcher. Fall guys. Imagine Fortnite Land at Disney. Everyone's just cranking the Orange Justice, and I'm just fucking pissed. I'm just angry.

Well, that's in your new future. God, I love Fortnite. You're going to take the boy to Disney. Not the Fortnite. What, rather? That was your shit? He's going to just stop on that and say, oh. I mean, Unreal tournament.

On real tournament, gears? I need like a three years. Oh, they had gears as well. Epic. I had gears. I forgot about that. There's got to be some other, like... Fortnite.

Jesus, holy fuck. Trash games. God damn. Fall guys, Alan Wake remastered. Rocket League. Yeah, it's pretty nuts. Did they say how much they're going to try by for? Yeah, that's...

It was 69 billion? No. 69 billion is what Activision sold to Microsoft 4. It's gonna be a lot. That's a shit time. But I feel like Fortnite like, I don't know, Fortnite kind of ran its course. Did it then out? I don't think so.

My daughter still plays it. 22 billion? Maybe not in like terms of player. It's run its course to where it was. Yeah. I wouldn't buy anything if I had a billions. Maybe I fucked up. I wonder if, I wonder when the, what the next Fortnite will be.

A game that takes it. Arc Raiders was for the Xon. So I didn't hit the... Riders was not a four... It didn't hit the same peak level. You didn't have Drake getting on the game. Travis Scott. Maybe Gtia 6.

Yeah, GTA 6 is like the next one that everyone's hyped for. Yeah, Gtta 6 for sure. Oh, you're going to get like rappers and shit getting on the game, streaming. They're going to try to make their own service. Yeah. Get gangs and shit. Dude, those GTA servers, people fucking cash out on those. Yeah, we got a friend or something.

10 pound chocolate bunny. Could you eat a one pound chocolate bar? I don't think I can eat one pound of anything. I feel like I need it in front of me to see. Bro, that probably be like, when I think 10 pound bunny, I'm thinking like something like this.

20,000. Say there's 10 of us. It has instructions that say that it needs to be smashed with the hammer. If we had 10 people eating this bunny, could it get done. I would throw up everywhere. There's no way. I wouldn't be able to do it. There's no way.

And it would be way. We should bring it for sure. Like, dude, after like five minutes of eating it, you'd hate chocolate. It would ruin chocolate. By the way, Costco, pizza, might be way up there on my favorites. That was pretty nice. For real.

Baseball stream, I had some painkillers. That's like, tweaked my back. But no, it's just kind of like, you just feel kind of slumpy and relaxed.

Friends like, yo, with my... Jupiter Island, Florida. Yeah. Yeah. You know, my wife's about to be home, bro.

You got to bounce. All right, Tiger. I don't know if I can drive, but if I got to leave, then, fuck it. I want to see this. I want to see everything Yukon-related.

Is that like, his medication or is he taking it like recreationally? Both. Now. He's abusing it? Probably abused it. And then getting in the car. Yeah.

That's lame behavior. What do you say? He probably knee acts it. Yo, this was insane. Yeah, it was. It got mad at me because Jack was asleep and he just went to sleep and I watched this happen in the living room.

I went, oh my God! And he woke up. This was insane. And she was like, come on. You can't be doing that. And I was like, babe. understand what just happened. Yeah.

It was crazy. Bro, look at this shit. Look at this. Look at the shit. That's the coach. Let's see, but I wonder. No, watch the, play the whole thing. You've got to play the whole thing.

The thing is, are they friends? Yeah, of course. Why aren't you what events doing that to fucking the CDL refs? Because I want to, because one, I don't know who the refs are. And two, I'm too cool, man. But they're doing that as friends. Like, because obviously the ref can't celebrate. Why don't you do this the Daniel said?

Bro, the ref and the coach I have no issues with him. Right? This is what happened, right? The ref and the coach are like friends or something. And then, but the ref cannot show any emotion towards any team winning.

So we just like, they just lock eyes. Or he made a shitty call and he's like, go fuck yourself. I don't know. That's what I was thinking as well. But then I saw some people saying like they know each other and they were kind of looking at each other.

Yeah. Yeah. Like it was like, we're getting drunk tonight. We just meet some. money, baby. We just need some money, right? They're just, that's 20 plus three.

Yeah, that was good. This March Madness has been, like, the highlights, I don't watch any of the games, but the highlights have been fucking legit. One of the next games, it's Final 4. Are they Saturday? I think? And is anybody on the verge to getting the perfect bracket? No, that was everyone was eliminated like weeks ago.

Yeah. That shit's impossible, dude. I would have won that shit. I would have won that shit. Saturday? Fuck yeah. I'm about to piss myself. Who do y'all got winning it? I don't watch college basketball. Yukon.

Duke's the only one I knew that was like... Yukon. I don't want to say... I want to say Illinois, obviously. Who beat Duke? Who beat Duke? Yukon? Yeah.

I got Yukon. Yeah, I got Yukon. I'm going Michigan. But was it a fluke? Isn't Michigan really good of football, though? Like, they can't have everything. I mean, they're elite eight game. They won by like 20 or something.

Who's favorite to win? Michigan? with a plus 155. The fighting Aligni? Hit the show more. So Yukon's actually the underdogs. Holy shit, we're fucked. Holy shit, what were their odds against Duke?

I wonder. Holy fuck. Holy fuck. Shit, Duke's pissed. People are saying like this always happens to Duke. I don't really like remember college basketball March Madnesses, but does this always happen to Duke? They just always get like,

crazy three-pointer scored on them and lose. That's insane. That's so annoying. Like, imagine their hearts when, like, they saw that ball go up, and then it's just all just. There's no way. It's just splash town. I mean, they probably...

Then they're trying to walk off the court, just like, that is pretty nice. Well, there were still point... There was still... There was still time left. So everyone, like, thought it was a buzzer beater and the game was over. What are you doing, man? There was, like, 0.4 seconds or something. What are you looking for?

Oh. Oh, odds of winning. Did it say 100%? And then Duke wins. You can never put 100%. 89.6% before the shot went in? Yeah, I might throw some money on this. That was the 11%.

I didn't throw some money on that. Ladies and gentlemen, that is going to do it for this episode of the Optic podcast. I hope that you guys enjoy it.
