Starting point is 00:00:00 Watch this. You're dead. Oh, I got a re-up. Oh, I got a re-up again. Is that Ballarat? Left click. Right click. Hello, everyone.
Starting point is 00:00:18 It's the Optic podcast, your favorite podcast that you watch weekly and listen to on your drive to work. This episode is 44. How are you guys doing? Feeling good. Yeah? You just said you were done with Valerant? For now, yeah. Why?
Starting point is 00:00:34 I'm so burnt down on it. So you're going to stop before you hit radio? Radio? Is that in the name? Well, he's jealous that Bruce hit it first. I'm jealous of me trying to catch him. I'm just going to quit. That's what I'm going to do instead. I remember I was laying on my couch at like midnight one night.
Starting point is 00:00:50 I just got done streaming. And Matt, I tune into Matt when he's playing Val all the time. And he was a Mortal 3 the night before. So I went into check out, like, where he was at? Just a fool just spiraled down. He was like, Immortal 1, Zero rank points. was two games off Radiant. I went down to Diamond 3, 9 points, which is like such a collapse.
Starting point is 00:01:10 And I said, you're teetering. Like, he was one loss from going back into Diamond, and now he's back in Diamond. Yeah, Diamond 2. It's kind of fuck that Bruce went on without you, isn't it? I feel like Matt tried to go on without Bruce. Because they were together. And he just failed. I mean, like, every time we played together, honestly, like, it was
Starting point is 00:01:26 like really shitty games. Really? For whatever reason, yeah. We would have, like, the worst, like, views. Are you guys going to streaming? Sometimes. Could have had something to do with it? Maybe, but. I'm just burnt time in the game. Yeah. That's how you are though. You, I mean, same thing, same thing with Wow.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Same thing with Val. You'll find, you'll find a game that you like really like and then you'll just play it into the ground. Pretty much. So now's war zone time? Yeah, I guess. Welcome back. You're going to, you're going to have a blast. You're going to have so much fun day one. Are you being serious? No. Day one is. Well, day one is. Well, day, no, day one, you'll have fun because because your skill base will be really low because you haven't played in a while. After that, I I mean, two days ago, we played eight games. We had hackers in six of them. See, that's...
Starting point is 00:02:11 It's good excuses, though. Why aren't you winning any games when we're getting hacked on? Well, the stream, they don't always... What if a new viewer comes in? And they're like, do you have any wins today? And you're like, no. And they're... What are you going to give them all spiel every time?
Starting point is 00:02:23 Yes. There was hackers in 75% of our games. How is it still that bad? So bad. Well, we're at the highest skill base. You get banned if you get hacked? Ooh. Huh?
Starting point is 00:02:33 Do you get banned if you have on stream? Yes. Why isn't there any streamers that are tracking? Because they'll get banned. If they get caught. Have you, wait. I've yet to be caught. You have yet to be caught hacking?
Starting point is 00:02:47 There's fucking, you know, there's an entire Reddit. Have you seen that Reddit? It's called Streamers caught cheating. You know, I've been staying away from Reddit every since the season last year. Is it all just like 10 viewers? It's just a cesspool of just fucking people arguing and yelling through their keyboards. It's so weird. Have you seen that, Matt?
Starting point is 00:03:03 dude is it just like 10 viewer or like like low view streams no that are getting caught or is it like someone with like 150 no it's not they're accusing they're accusing people oh it was like a clip I thought you meant they were there was a clip of Merck there was a clip of uh of Priesta and it's just of Merck yeah and it's just like it's just like them shooting like Joey D's cheating just like good shots yeah it's just like them shooting and then they're like and then they're like They slow it down to like 0.5% and they look at like how their recoil works. That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:40 I think they're so smart. Yep. Z lander added again. If you go to minute 326 and slow the kill down to 0.25, the aim bot is so snappy and stops exactly in the enemy. Watch the cross hair. It's painfully obvious. He's cheating. If your favorite streamers are not on Windows 11 by next month, they might just be high-excited.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Like, come on, bro. Wait, look at the next one. Scum's thoughts on accusations. There, look. I made the news. You're right there. You're right there. I made the news.
Starting point is 00:04:09 If some of you really think the CDL pro will cheat on war zone, you're just stupid. Wait, hit the comments. Hit the comments. Matt, I want to see what people say. Yeah, okay. So, I mean, some people are defending you. I mean, both of these guys are. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:27 There are a lot of trolls on here that come from Propetive Cod. Holy shit. As long as money is to be made. games and there will be cheaters. Lance Armstrong was able to fool the entire one for you. Go on, man. I've been playing for how long
Starting point is 00:04:45 11 years now? If I was cheating, I think it would have came out by now. Maybe you're just really good at hiding it. Yeah, I don't know. And it's like, Lance probably went 11 years without. But the thing with Lance
Starting point is 00:04:58 getting away with the championship, 12, 13? The thing with him is they were all cheating. It's just so absurd, bro. That's so good. It just makes me like, it honestly like warms my heart a little bit. That's like those, now those kids on Twitter that I was just like, fuck, fuck those kids or fuck those kids on Reddit. Now they're like all have, now they like all have their own subreddit and they're like, you know, swag's cheating or like fucking Z-Layner's cheating.
Starting point is 00:05:26 And then everyone else is just like, yeah, he is. It just doesn't make sense, bro. It's so good. It's weird because they're not even trolling. Like they actually Did you see I saw like a Twitter clip Or something of Cloaksie
Starting point is 00:05:39 Was like I don't know if he was interviewing a cheater But he was like talking to him And then the guy was like no You cannot convince me Oh that was Joe Yeah yeah it was Joe whoa He got into a A lobby with a hacker
Starting point is 00:05:54 And the hacker was like You can't convince me That Huskers doesn't cheat Yeah yeah yeah If you watch Huskers He doesn't have recoil It's like, well, he's pulling down. And he was like, I can guarantee you.
Starting point is 00:06:07 He is not cheating, you idiot. Yeah. So that guy just sees Huskers shoot once and it doesn't recoil because he's on 120 FOV and good with a mouse. And then he's like, I need to cheat now. And then every time somebody talks shit to him, he already has that excuse in the back of his mind. Well, Huskers cheats.
Starting point is 00:06:25 It's just such a weird thing. It really is. But let's start with the topics. That was a little bit of a, you know, out of the blue time. We got Apathy Retires. What a career for Brian. What's his last name? Zazakai Lov. I can't say his last name. I don't even know. I didn't even know he had a last name. Yeah. It's a hard one. But congrats to Brian on a great career. Good dude. Yeah. I've known him for a long time. See top 25. One of the best dudes in Cod in my name. He's got two rings.
Starting point is 00:06:55 See top 25? Yeah. Cod of all time. It's crazy. I was on the flank with him and and Tommy was like so how many how many wins did you did you have like tournament wins and he said seven so two of his seven wins and rings i thought that was crazy that's a that's a that's pretty that's pretty damn impressive yeah did you say he's top 25 sub ball is he top 25 is he top 15 probably probably yeah for sure yeah he was he was a fucking beast i remember especially in ghosts watching him move around and ghost his p ov was like like no one else's yeah if you saw his p ov like when he was like crying, you'd be like, that's apathy. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:07:34 Really? Just running around shit? Just like, yeah, just going berserk. Just going berserk. Just going berserk. He was pretty crap. He was doing a whole bunch of shit. Like, at this, that one. Watching, like, Nato and
Starting point is 00:07:44 apathy in, in Ghosts. That was good team. At, like, Snotter was good at Ghost, was I? He beat them at champs. He was nuts. He dealt with you. Just, after formal came up backstage,
Starting point is 00:07:58 now is your chance to play me. I looked at him like, oh, fuck. Dude, I've heard that. That sentence like 18. I was like, all right, let's go. You're doing the Zinny with that. Am I recycling?
Starting point is 00:08:08 She has hard. I'm lucky. Yeah, congrats to Brian. I'm sure that he's going to... You're doing the Ziti with that. I'm sure that he's going to kill it. Whatever he chooses next. I believe he chose content.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Yeah. Which I'm sure he will dominate. Yeah. Yeah, he's one of the... It's like him and Octane are like two people that come to mind when it's like, those guys are good at content when it comes to like pro players. being good at content so good luck right yeah just the way you said that yeah i just like there's some other good ones like priest is pretty good yeah attach attach there's a lot of you know good
Starting point is 00:08:46 good cons and crazy a lot of people like like you know once they retire they're not going to go like straight into coaching or straight into like casting yeah like they're going to give it a shot yeah you gotta hold on what we've got i'm sorry my brain just went straight to that nothing going on. Bing bong, Bing bong. Nick Merck's Resigns with Twitch. Did you see that video?
Starting point is 00:09:08 Thank God. I don't think. It was fucking sick. So what did the plaque mean? What if it's like resigned? Is he have 4 million subs on Twitter or on YouTube? Because it was like IV, which is 4, right? And then it said M.
Starting point is 00:09:22 So I'm assuming he has 4 million subs on YouTube. And then he like looks at that and like teases YouTube and then goes and picks up the sword that has Twitch. See, I didn't even get that. Well, I just thought... In numerals. He's in Rome and the Coliseum.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Jesus. So far behind. And no, it makes sense now. I didn't get that part. I just like the music. It was like, when he pulled out the fucking sword here. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:09:45 I haven't seen it. Was that him in the suit? No, it's CGI. Play the video so I can see it. You don't think that was him? After hearing that, I need to see the video.
Starting point is 00:09:56 I want to see how not believable it is that he's in the suit. Yeah. It kind of looks like him. See, that's 4 million. Oh, shit. And then he looks at the sword. And he looks at the sword and he's like, oh, it's Twitch time.
Starting point is 00:10:12 That's him in the suit, bro. You think so? Yeah. Bro, people probably saw that. We're like, no, YouTube, no. That's so good. That's him, bro. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Literally Russell Crow. Dude, that was either him or Russell. That's either him or Russell. That's either him or Russell, bro, and I'm going with him. That's dope. But yeah, that's big. Big news for Twitch. You know, they've been losing people, so.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Yeah. They've been losing a lot of the top guys. They held on to one of them. One of the big top guys. Apparently, it's the biggest deal in gaming history. Really? It's what I've heard. I mean, I don't know the numbers.
Starting point is 00:10:52 But that's just what fucking... Damn. Ninja and mixer? That's the first thing that came to mind. The first thing that came to mind for me was Doc. Because when Doc signed a Twitch, which it was like the biggest thing. And I think the rumor number was like
Starting point is 00:11:05 eight digits. So then the ninja thing happened. What a ninja did it? Ninja got 30 something? 30, bro. That was the freest bag. Would you play Valour? Would you play Val for the rest of your days? Yeah, would. Just sit there, just play Valorant just all day
Starting point is 00:11:23 every day. I'd be wearing Valerant merch. I'd have a Valerant wall. It'd be all for it. I'm cosplaying as a lot. man. Imagine. That'd be hilarious. That would be so funny, bro.
Starting point is 00:11:40 That would be fucking. Oh, man. Do you want to... Speaking of Twitch, Mr. 8-mill over here. Guys, guys. I need to fill out some paperwork. You let me know, Twitch.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Wait, what happened? The original list I got leaks that I made 8-mill. I was like, hold on. Wait, really? Did it actually? I forget to fill out some papers. The original one that leaked, yeah. It said, it was like,
Starting point is 00:12:06 but the numbers were... You're just first? No, the numbers were like stupid. The numbers were like... Was it just wrong for everyone? That's so weird. Maybe it's a different formal? It said someone like, excuse...
Starting point is 00:12:21 No, it was like formal all caps. It was all caps. It was right above Learke and I was like, yeah, that's what I'm supposed to... That's right. I was like, that seems right. Listen, if I need this feels something out. But there were some people that... There were some people on that original list that had like,
Starting point is 00:12:33 like 32 million that they had made like shit like that and I was looking at the original list and everyone was freaking out about it and I was like that shit's not right oh that was wrong yeah but then the real list came out can you just figure that out by yourself the thing yeah that's what blew my mind it's like everyone was so shocked public counts
Starting point is 00:12:50 or public sub counts are sub counts are public they've always been public so it's like you just times it by four or times by three and a half obviously you can't add up like the ads that are played or like bits. You can just get like a rough estimate. But like.
Starting point is 00:13:05 In the first 10 seconds. Yeah. I didn't know this was any news. Yeah. Do people on Twitter were like, yeah. I figured everyone just looked at your sub count like multiply it by 3.5. People on Twitter were like I can't, I can't believe this. And I was like, how can't you believe this?
Starting point is 00:13:19 He's had 50,000 subs for fucking three years. What do you mean? This is before like people started signing too, right? Because it was the end of. Well, yeah, that's also something that people would not be able to know unless it came out. Yeah. Well, this is the. end of like 20 well I guess people people started signing in 2020 yeah so yeah
Starting point is 00:13:37 this is the end of 20 maybe maybe 2019 like the end of it oh I mean maybe it was on 20 20 20 because that's it all like people like people that are like signed but which is only like 10 people there's not a lot of you guys see I said you guys no there's a lot of people are there yeah I'm there's like a good amount of pretty it's not just like I thought it was only like a few I thought it was like 10 no there's no way it's only 10 Really? No. There's so many massive streamers that I've never heard of.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Yeah. Think about all the games that there are. Think about all like, there's big creators in every single category. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I guess. I'd say there's probably like 50 to 100.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Maybe. 50 people signed? I would say, yeah. They're not all fucking multi-million dollar deals. Well, I thought those were the only ones they were signing. I thought they were only signing, like exclusivity and everyone else
Starting point is 00:14:33 to just give partner. I thought that's how they're signing people just so they don't go to YouTube. Yeah, probably. That's like how it started. Makes sense. Because you know, well, Mixer started signing people and then Twitch was like, wait, we should probably sign people too. Yeah, there's a lot of people signed. That's dope. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:14:50 I think. I'm just assuming. Yeah. Because I'm signed and I'm not like that big of a creator. I'm not. True. Yeah. I average like, I average like, what, five, eight, thousand viewers probably about I'm not saying I'm not saying I'm small
Starting point is 00:15:05 I'm not saying I'm small but I'm not like one of the biggest creator I'm humble I hear what you're saying I'm you're humble okay you guys are assholes like wait do you know who critical role is did you guys yeah the dn dn.I people I had no idea who they were yeah I remember watching the dragon comes in from the north it blows down your village Take three points.
Starting point is 00:15:33 A gifted, a hundred gifted bomb. Three coins to you. I don't know how that game works. It's all imagination. A idiot, bro, I'm just trolling. A Yet he comes from the gold north. I bet you have never played D&D? I'm very surprised.
Starting point is 00:15:46 I didn't know what D&D meant. I don't even know how that works. I heard it's all that. Isn't that like a board game? Yeah, it's imagination. It's like imagination. So every game could be different. That's so nerdy.
Starting point is 00:15:56 You have like a narrator. What'd you say? You have like, apparently you have like a narrator? No. I've never played it. I've just been explaining. Sounds so nerdy. I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Video games are nerdy. Wait, how's it work? So it's like you play a video game. And so there's a narrator and he's like, uh, and like that's who controls the game. And they have like a book. I keep doing this. They have like a book.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Dude, I bet you there are people raging in the comments right now because I don't know what I'm talking about. Yeah. You're for sure. There's a narrator. There's a book. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:29 But apparently like, he'll be like, a headmaster. He'll be like, you could either go to farm wheat or go fight a dragon, roll the dice, and if it's above five, then you go fight the dragon.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Yeah, that sounds. And if you're not equipped, to be honest. And it would probably be dope. If you're not equipped, you get eight. It would probably be dope.
Starting point is 00:16:51 I bet you there is it. I'm down. Might be a fun junk game. Yeah. A lot of people, I'm pretty sure there's probably drinking games that you can play while doing it.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Imagine if you ever roll under a, if you ever roll under a three, you have to drink. Drink. That's like the only rule. If it ever hits three, you don't, no one proceeds in the game,
Starting point is 00:17:13 everyone just drinks. That'd be lit. And it's like a nine-sided die. Service was just fucking slashed. That would be fun of. I gotta go fight dragons. Do you think they play that in Nirvana over there? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Yeah, absolutely. 100%. Have you ever played a show? Just show up. We show up one to join in. A keg. It's probably the main hit.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Have you all ever played a video game or a board game that is like more intense in Monopoly? Like I feel like Monopoly is like the hardest that it gets for like regular board games and then it gets to like the nerdy stuff. No. You ever played like Risk? That's a pretty try hard game. Is it? Sorry. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:52 I still feel like those are. Battleship. Shoots and ladders? I hate shoots and ladders. Tritigo. Candyland. see i was thinking like andyland's pretty into all the pieces were sticky and like
Starting point is 00:18:03 you're like i don't remember a shit from dandelion dude i only ever played those no i was even trying to make like that i only ever played that like a daycare and every old piece of like fucking bitten off and like half chewed and i'm just like dude you just like this yeah who's biting off the heads of these things like three i've always wanted i've always wanted to try one of those video games like the
Starting point is 00:18:25 settlers of katan have you ever heard of that oh yeah my parents actually put that really They actually say it's, wait, that's a game that's probably way, it's probably the most try hard board game that you've played. I've played it once, but I don't really understand it, but it seems really fucking try hard. Apparently, that's like the intro to like big games. Like if you want to, if you want to play those, like, if you go to Nerdbonne and look at the wall of like, like, like, board games that they have. I mean, there's like 900 rules and it's like super fucking intense. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:51 And like, apparently settlers are of Katan. It's like the intro if you're trying to go. And you're trying to get into that. You're trying to get, like, deep into fucking, four games. And lore. But apparently, a game's really fun. I'm sure. I wouldn't try it.
Starting point is 00:19:06 If you have a good game night that I've never been invited to. Okay, what happened to game nights? What happened to poker? Yeah, what happened to poker? That's on the feed. Yeah. That's a better question. Came back, took the dove.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Yes. Because game nights at our house, you know, like, it's messy poker. We just go there and have a few drinks. We throw our shit in the trash. We leave. My house gets trashed. Really? I know.
Starting point is 00:19:28 You guys leave Jack in the box, fucking. You keep saying you guys, I never going to mind. You guys. Because I just spend all my time outside with Buzz. Everyone that comes, there's always McDonald's or Zlot or fucking. I mean, you're a host. I know. And I'm always the host, which is the problem.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Dude, you guys fucked up by not going to, not going out for his birthday. That shit was fun. We went to a karaoke bar or a, we went to a bar where it's like dueling pianos and they just play songs and like everyone sings. I think I saw a video of all of you singing. She was so long. It's the only time I've ever gone out. You guys look pretty fucked out. They're all just singing.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Yeah, you guys are pretty fucking. We were fucked up. Singing like belt like. Yes. And at one time, Paige, she was just screaming. She wasn't singing. She was just screaming the words. Yeah, the people in there hated us.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Did they? For sure. Were you guys the only obnoxious group? Just fucking. No. Every group there was like a group of college kids in front of us, like 10 of them that were doing the same thing. Yeah. Where'd y'all go?
Starting point is 00:20:28 Doing piano. I don't know with the name of it. But we went to like a bar and then they're like, this bar is like, nah. And then we went to that place and I was like, oh shit, that shit's fun. And I was sober the whole time. I didn't drink. And it was still fun, right? And it was still fun.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Holy shit. He was so scarred from L.A. Yeah. He was right after L.A. Bro, that shit was. Yeah. How did you feel the other night? You drank like a, uh, when we were for the October Fest?
Starting point is 00:20:54 Yeah. It was good. But we were also. playing faking it dude that shit is oh i'm still mad about that dude that shit is so fun dude that shit is so fun we're gonna like among us yeah we're gonna do that for a cod video we were talking about it i don't know so it's like it's like basically it's like this uh jackbox game have you ever play like a jackbox game like when you fucking wind it up then that's jack in the box uh so like there's there's this game where basically there's like an imposter you look on your phone
Starting point is 00:21:25 and your phone tells you if you're the imposter or not. And then for everyone else, it'll say, like, point to whoever, you know, is the cleanest. So everyone would point to you. And then if Matt's the imposter, he doesn't, he just says point to someone random. So if Matt pointed to Nick, we would all be like, well, it's Matt.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Because I wouldn't see that. Because Seth is definitely the cleanest. And Nick stinks. And Nick is dirty. But if he's pointing at me, like he would have to explain like, no, like, no, trust. Nick smells so good.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Why would the guy not? Nick actually cleaned his shit up. You have to like defend yourself like as much as possible. That shit is so fun. I could see Matt. Being good at bullshitting in that game. Everyone says that.
Starting point is 00:22:10 There's something about you. It literally fits your personality perfect. You just get angry. Dude, I fucking promise you. Nick is clean. But then they're like, all right, we believe you. And then it turns out you're the imposter. And you're just,
Starting point is 00:22:24 But if everyone's turning on you and you get, that's the one I get frustrated. Everyone was turning on me. They were like, it's hitch, it's hitch. And I knew it was Roger. And he was, I was like, oh my God. And Roger felt so good. And I'm like, you guys are, it's him. I fucking promise.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Bro, Roger felt so good after you was. The other night, it just like spontaneously happened. Thanks. Yeah. I deserved that. How many people were there? It was just like us. It was like.
Starting point is 00:22:54 like eight of them six seven I was playing that home just hearing the background I was just like what are they playing losing absolute composure on vow there's a couple times we got really loud and I was like I bet you Matt's fucking mad like furious trust me you are the reason I was he's giving up all he's back to D2 he's the same rank as me and I haven't and he hasn't played in four months three months do you miss it no it's fun it's fun it's Like, it's a fun game. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:28 It's fun if you're playing like with people. When you're solo queuing, it's not fun. Yeah, that's horrible. Yeah. Do you think there's a world where both Val and CS still exist? Like, they're both big, huge esports? Are we living in there right now? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:42 I don't know. I mean, CS is kind of like tapered off, but like it's still a big eastport. It's still huge. Okay. I haven't been watching. I've actually started watching Val. Now it's definitely bigger now, I think. Is it?
Starting point is 00:23:54 It has to be, right? It has to be. Maybe. Until, who was it right? I mean, you look at the Valoran, you look at the Val like Twitch section and there's just like always 100,000 people watching. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Yeah. 20? I mean, I can look right now. Holy shit. What's it usually at? I mean, whenever I used to watch CS, it was like always in the hundreds. Oh, let's see. Like, at least 80.
Starting point is 00:24:20 80 to 100. That's crazy. Yeah, Balleran's got 110 right now. CS has 200k, but there's probably an event going on. Yeah, there's an event going on. Oh, okay. Yeah, 60, I mean, 67 people. Yeah. So I guess we're living in that world right now. CS is definitely still a big game. But I would say Valoran is still bigger than CS. Yeah, that's, that's really dope. I mean, I've actually been watching it because I kind of stayed away from Val for a little bit because I was like, I don't know if it's going to like get traction.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Yeah. Their official like league hasn't even started yet. Like the riot league or whatever. Yeah. They haven't even started yet. Is your food here? Yeah, it's about to be. But you know what I'm saying? Like these are like third party people running the tournaments there right now.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Like, oh shit, really? For a vow? Pretty sure. Isn't it? No. It's Ryan had their league? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Like, I don't know who's running it, but it's like official.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Is it? Yeah, it's official. Oh, then maybe I'm, yeah, then I'm wrong then. I thought Riot was like going to have a league and go crazy with it. But imagine, imagine like, before all this, exclusivity stuff if like MLG threw an event and there was a CS and Val at the same event. I mean, that shit will never happen. But like, that's how it used to be back in the day with Cod and Halo.
Starting point is 00:25:34 That would never happen again. I don't think. I think those days are like just done. Those days are over. Yeah, they're over. Unless somebody, I've thought about this, unless someone does it for charity. Unless someone throws a huge event and it's just strictly like strictly for charity. Like an MLG event?
Starting point is 00:25:49 Yeah. But like that's the only way you can intertwine like, games like that. Like Pax does it. Because Pax does it, they do like a smash tournament and a Rocket League tournament was there at the same time. But like it'll never happen with like with like how PlayStation or
Starting point is 00:26:05 like how PlayStation has caught on lock. Yeah. Everything's too tied up nowadays. Like just with company. Yeah, you're right. To me fucking white people and suits came in, man. It ruined it all. Yeah. It's crazy, bro. Hey, we live those days though.
Starting point is 00:26:21 We got to live. I feel bad for everyone that didn't get Right. Those glory days. The MLG, Anaheim 2014 was my, it'll be, it'll be my favorite event forever because there will never be, it'll never happen again. It was like my two favorite games were happening literally right beside each other. Was that smash? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Like, melee was here and it was in top, it was a top eight, like top three actually. And you guys were playing fucking EG over here at the same time. Really? And I was standing in the middle. You're just nerd gasming. Just watching both. Just loving it. fog and then there was
Starting point is 00:26:56 and then there was StarCraft over there I didn't watch that but I watched that StarCraft was kind of lit really it was StarCraft was bigger than every other game at that time yeah that was like he that was like the big streamer right Idra and he played
Starting point is 00:27:15 Idra Huck I don't remember the races he played Zerg Zerg and you had like Huck the Mosul Holy shit What? I haven't heard those names in so long. I was actually like a fan.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Like I would watch StarCraft. What was the guy's name? In control? In control. The big guy? The bigger guy? Yeah. It was cool.
Starting point is 00:27:36 He was cool. But yeah, there's so many like, that game was popping. I played the show that. Cannon Rush. Yeah, bro. Now it's like, now the skill gap in that game is just so overly. Yeah. It's like the kids are just nuts.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Bro, when I watch Fortnite now, dude it's a different game i mean yeah that's how like i feel like that's why games kind of die out because people get so good at them that everyone else is like i'm not gonna get there yeah i feel like that's what happened with split gate dude like there was a little wave of splitgate like starting to happen but like people would get to like the higher ranks and then we would play the people that have been playing for three years and they're just the whole game went like when when you're playing shitty players, you're like getting into actual,
Starting point is 00:28:23 like gun fights and stuff. But once you start playing good players, it's nothing but power weapons and portaling. There's like, you don't spawn and like get into gun fights. It's just like portals and shotguns, power weapons. Fucking portals.
Starting point is 00:28:38 And so I quit that game. I figured that's how it was going to be. And they just got a hundred million dollar investment. Oh, yeah. A hundred million? Like, I wonder what they're going to do with that.
Starting point is 00:28:47 I might want to hop back on that train. the game does feel good it's fun it's like one of the better games i've played lately it looks fun i feel like that's why like for games like that creator like like watching you and like enable and everybody watching you guys play against each other was a lot of fun yeah i mean once you guys but then like once we play the people who have been fucking playing it's like this is so dumb people forget that game's been out for three years so people know exactly where the fuck that i keep doing spider man where the portals are yeah they're just portling everywhere yeah yeah i don't know but that's how that's that's how a lot of games are they just like people get so good
Starting point is 00:29:25 where it's just like it's not even fun to start playing it because yeah you're just so like fortnight like even if there was some fucking wild thing that made me want to go play fortnight again i would just be like bro like i'm gonna hit a certain level and then i'm not gonna have any i'm not i don't even have the drive to try to get that good yeah like there's you know what i'm saying like that they got that you young they got that i just i remember the first time that hit me i was like i was like running with my fucking pickax and then you just get i just like look at look i see a dude and i aim at him and it's just like remember i just got like exhausted i just put my controller down i was i don't even want to didn't we play a two i don't want to fight you i don't didn't we play a two's tournament like
Starting point is 00:30:10 the beginning of fortnight and we played again who was it pomage and who it was another like sniper i thought it was so it wasn't Huskers? No. Okay. I don't know why I thought it might have been him. Maybe it was. Was it?
Starting point is 00:30:25 Formal, we will catch you when you get back. Usually somebody goes to get his food. Oh, shit, I don't know. But we fucking played Pomage. I thought it was like a. It was like a big name person? Like a Fortnite kid. Maybe not though.
Starting point is 00:30:38 I thought it was another sniper. And then we, do you remember what happened? Like you lagged out or something? Yes. We were. And then like I got more kills than both of them and they both died. So I was like, we win. but like right when you lagged out I was like yo are we restarting this
Starting point is 00:30:52 like hitcher slagged out and they're not responding so I'm like I guess I'm playing this out and then I end up beating them and then they're like no you said nah we heard you say like hitch lagged out like this doesn't count they're like to scumbag you they did scumbaggaggous and we had to replay and then we lost
Starting point is 00:31:08 that was winners round two of like the second of the second Friday Fortnite like Friday Fortnite. Yeah that was like that's crazy Keem put that that that was keem starts thing right that was like the second week and that's when it was like fucking blowing up and uh and then we and then we go down into losers round two and it's we play
Starting point is 00:31:32 uh tifu and cloak yeah and i didn't know who what's that yeah i don't i didn't know who tifu was and the thing is you never watched him like eight one or anything i i had seen his clips but i've never like watched his stream so like i knew because i went i went back and i was like oh he's the dude that like kills people with crossbows out of the fucking passenger seat. Like I had seen his clips like he's nuts But I didn't like put a face to a name And he he was banned on Twitch at the time
Starting point is 00:31:59 For some dumb shit And so he couldn't talk or stream On on Twitch So our viewers Our viewership they found out where Tifu was in the bracket Oh yeah Our viewership just exploded. Holy shit I remember We went up to like I went up to like
Starting point is 00:32:17 I went from like 500 viewers at the time to like 9K. Really? Just because they were trying to find where Tifu was. And then the, the entire chat is just all like, no one I recognize is like typing in my chat anymore. It's just, I'm like getting harassed.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Fucking brutal. That's when you fucking sub only it. I mean, I don't even know. That was so long. I was like, talk about Tifu. Got a sub here.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Yeah. But yeah, let's move on. And every once in a while, somebody would be like, Man, we should probably stop talking shit. These guys seem chill. And we're down 20 already.

Starting point is 00:36:14 ad read if I do say so myself back to the podcast all right and we are back have you guys ever been Battlefield fans nope all right next question I mean swag and noop squad I can't even talk about that because I
Starting point is 00:36:33 literally watched zero seconds of the beta I actually think it looks pretty cool do you I had a lot of fun I've seen clips I actually think it looks pretty cool it's like when you if you hop in with a squad of four, your first three games are gonna be, they're gonna be amazing.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Because like, there's just, dude, there's just like jets flying and fucking helicopters crashing. There's a fucking, a fucking, uh,
Starting point is 00:36:56 rocket. It is a fucking shit storm the whole time. Like when I, I watched Tim and like courage and all them playing it and like, it is a shit storm the whole time. It's like a movie. It's like a movie. Is there skill base in that game?
Starting point is 00:37:10 I don't know. I'm just curious. I have no idea. sure you are we only what is that supposed to mean what does that mean we only ran into one like
Starting point is 00:37:21 insane lobby yesterday I'm here an idiot I'm just curious I'm gonna I mean shit is there skill base in that beta
Starting point is 00:37:32 dude yes yesterday dude I found the move when there's like a four when there's a two B two kill race play fucking trios with Phil literal bot lobbies like unbelief because everyone's trying to
Starting point is 00:37:45 stream snipe the people in the 2B2 Twitter so it's like you don't get any like of any of them and it was so much fun I dropped like 38 28 28 33 and then like another 30 and like four games back to back back yeah yesterday holy shit that doesn't I could have had a 50
Starting point is 00:38:01 yesterday but you choked no I got held from airport but I could have had a 50 like easy yesterday I don't say held from airport it's something called that a trip bro it was actually like mind blowing how easy the lobbies were. Anyways, the beta looks pretty sick.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Are you gonna play? Are you gonna play? Yeah, I'm gonna play it. I'm gonna play it. I'm gonna play it. We should play it. Have you, uh, are you gonna play on mouse and keys or you're gonna go back to controller?
Starting point is 00:38:25 No, I'm playing controller. You just, it's a lot of fun. Can you actually hit? But isn't it only one map? It's literally just- It's only one map, so I wouldn't. There's a lot's going on. But isn't it for seven hours?
Starting point is 00:38:36 Yeah, like how do you play that one map for? I mean, I guess you just play it for a couple hours and then get off. I was about to say it, like, you're about a couple of, to say that while playing war zone for eight hours a day. But that's a BR. It's not like Battlefield's not a BR. BR's are at least like.
Starting point is 00:38:52 How do you know? I will say that if Battlefield, if 2042 makes a BR, it'll be amazing. Because the last one they made was just not good. I don't know if y'all ever played it. The Firestorm one. Do you think they ever will make a BR? They already made one. It just sucked.
Starting point is 00:39:07 Really? Yeah, they made one called Firestorm. Battlefield a bad company was pretty good. I think I faintly remember that. It was just like, it was only a mouse and keyboard. There was no controller support and the UI was just like horrible. Wait, was there controller support? There might have been, but the UI was just terrible.
Starting point is 00:39:21 You had to, like, if you picked up shotgun ammo, you couldn't pick up snipe ammo and you had to drop all your shotgun ammo and if you had a snipe and then you pick up another gun and you have to find the right ammo. It was like fucking weird. It was like that kind of stuff. Like apex, but not easy to understand. So it wasn't good. It was probably why I didn't play.
Starting point is 00:39:39 I feel like I've been hearing battlefield hype for 10 plus years. I mean, that's how, like, that's why I would say the battlefield community and the Cod community, like if you talk about either of them, it's like a war. Yeah. It's like, battlefield's going to be better this year. And everyone's like, no, COD's going to be better this year. There is a little battlefield community, huh? Like a big battlefield.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Is there really? Yeah. Yeah. Like, it's actually popular. I feel like I don't hear anyone ever say they play battlefield. No, there's definitely a big community. I mean, they may. Is there tournaments and stuff?
Starting point is 00:40:08 No, it's not competitive at all. It's supposed to be $1.6 million tournament. Yeah, I remember that. Dude, I remember when people were talking about that. They were like, dude, do you want to play it? And I'm like, what the fuck? They were like, it's 1.6. And I was like, I'm looking for nine teammates.
Starting point is 00:40:20 I'm pretty sure I was like, I'm pretty sure I was going to play it if it happened. I feel like that would be sick though. Play like a, because what does battlefield? It was like a 10 v. 10, dude. Ian. To have 10 teammates and like practice for attorney? Like one guy's the tank. Because like Ian and Mr. X.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Oh my God, Ian. Yeah. I forgot he played the shit out of it. Ian and Mr. X were going to play it. And then Ian talks about that tournament to the. day all the time. It didn't happen, right? It never happened, no. The guy who, the guy who put up all the money just disappeared off the face of the earth
Starting point is 00:40:48 or something like that. So you think he was just scamming? I think he was just scamming. But then he didn't get anything out of the scam. Yeah, I was supposed to say. He didn't get shit from it. I'm just like, I'm just kidding. Could you imagine like that? He's like I was trolling. The thing were tournaments that big or
Starting point is 00:41:05 like if, if Battlefield actually did host like a like a event that was like 90 v. 90. like one team is going to get stomped. It's not, with that many people, it won't be even. Oh, dude, it'd be like, ready player one. Just like, you see a Gundam? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:24 That should be lit. It would be awesome. There would be crazy clips. Oh, the teams would be so unbelievably imbalanced. There'd be three kids on each team, like going for like the Easter egg. Like they're looking for like the golden snitch. Like they're seekers. Imagine the teams you could build.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Dude. Just get all of the CDL. Literally all 48 of the CDL is in it. Yeah. And then get retired pros and then you get all the war zone players in it. And then the other side is just like, versus all the battlefield. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:50 That would be a fucking war. That would be a battle for the ages, bro. And actually would be late. Yeah, that would be crazy. All the CDL war zone people and then all on the other side is just CDL versus battlefield. The battlefield guys show up with like the gears pros. Just traitors.
Starting point is 00:42:07 No. They're just with gears and halo. You just see pistola in the fucking jet. just That would be crazy. That would be fucking lit. But every battlefield player would have all the
Starting point is 00:42:19 There was one game yesterday where I was getting frustrated as hell Because there was definitely People that had played Battlefield before Like their whole lives In that lobby And there were like
Starting point is 00:42:30 Nine planes up And they were all theirs And so every time you spawned It was just Really? Yeah, you're just getting rained on And so then the next The life of a noob
Starting point is 00:42:40 You know? I think I have I think I was watching fucking shredded. I think I was watching you trying to. I was watching you trying to cross-map snipe someone for like 30 bullets straight. Because there's such a bullet drop. Wait, was it fun to play?
Starting point is 00:42:59 Yes, it was a lot of fun. There was only, I'm telling you, we probably played like 10 games and there was only one game where I was like frustrated. But there's a, the thing is, is there's a rocket that goes off every game. if the game lasts long enough. And if you, like, grapple to the rocket,
Starting point is 00:43:15 you can, like, go to the moon. What? Wait, is that what y'all were waiting on? Because I can't know if he's trolling. No, I was watching, I was watching your stream and y'all died and right when y'all died, something happened. Yeah, we're all,
Starting point is 00:43:29 y'all were just camping there, like, oh, it's got to come up any second. We're ready for the rocket. And then when the rocket goes off, people were like, if you grapple to the rocket, it'll take you, like, with you. And then you can just feel like above the, like above the moon. So we're like,
Starting point is 00:43:41 We're like all up there just waiting. Just like 10 people. You just see him flying with the rocket. Did anybody get it? No, because the dude flanked us and killed all of us. And in the kill cam, we can see the rocket going on. And he's just flying out with it. Just nose go big.
Starting point is 00:44:02 That's good. And then 10% of every games, there's a, there's a tornado that just spins up. And it goes through the. the whole map. Are you serious? It will suck you into the tornado. And this is like 120 players in the map. I have no idea how it.
Starting point is 00:44:18 What is it? We might have to play it. Is it 60? How do you download it? Do you just, can you just get in? How many? Oh shit, there it is. This is what you're waiting on.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah, he grappled. Oh my God. That's what I was trying to do. He's going with the rocket. Dude, someone's going to hit like a trick shot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Yeah. Like snipes. There's someone out of the plane. just only trying to do this. Yeah. Yeah, that was me. So where is it, when do you like? How is the grapples? Bro, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:44:48 I don't know. I've never actually seen it. That's a strong-hous girl. He just gets sniped. A jet just fucking hits him, hang. When do you get disconnected? Or do you never get disconnected? I don't know if you do.
Starting point is 00:44:59 He might just go to the moon. This was an eight-minute video. He might just be on the tape for eight minutes. Skip across. Skip, skip, skip ahead. Where does he go? Dude. What if it just took you to the-
Starting point is 00:45:08 Look how high up he is. Look at his map. dude it's like Hawaii or some shit it's actually like beautiful this is literal chaos it's like a beautiful map wait how far up does he go oh shit 100 meters
Starting point is 00:45:22 god it's stringed no scope can you parachute yeah yeah he's about to parachute world's first actual rocket grapple I don't he was first he just kind of came back down pretty quick
Starting point is 00:45:36 it was like it was possible to do in real life now was that worth Yes, we just watched it Yeah But the tornado shit's crazy too That's pretty cool Dude how do you download it? You just pre-order it on Steam
Starting point is 00:45:51 Or like EA There's something you can do with EA I don't know And then you just play the beta? Yeah And then you just play the beta It's a lot of fun though Fun
Starting point is 00:46:00 I look pretty fun Should we play it today? I'm down to play It's chaos You get a good you get some good clip I mean guaranteed Dude I'm guaranteed Yesterday we got like 12
Starting point is 00:46:10 12 Twitter clips. Matt, can you go to my Twitter and... Oh, here we go. Guaranteed we'll have fun. Oh, here we go. Strike one. How long could you play it for, though? Like, how long did you play?
Starting point is 00:46:21 You could probably play five, six maps. And like, it would be... How long does a map take? Like 30? Yeah. Really? They're that long? Yeah. They take a while.
Starting point is 00:46:31 It's like 25, 30 minutes. How many players is it? Dude, so... You can't hear it, but... I'm trying to shoot somebody, and all I hear is Marcel go, George. George George and at this point George Fogg couldn't control the fucking helicopter and he just flies into the ground and they both die
Starting point is 00:46:50 It's like shit like that happens like Twitter little windy God damn there's a drag I mean I'm looking at OBS at that wall Oh my man well I mean this one well I mean I'm on mouse and keys are you actually? Yeah, I'm on mouse and keys So no way is there controller like there's controller this controller support Um yeah we might have to play this There's shit like that that happens. Or at least a little bit.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Three times a map. Like, that would be a lot of fun. Especially with you guys playing. Like that shit, they would, y'all, y'all's chats would eat that up. You reckon? I reckon. Cool. Invite.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Uh, season two came out for, you want to play? Wait, season two. Actually? Yeah. Season six. Season six, right? I'm down. Season six came out yesterday.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Yeah, season six came out last night. Well, today. Have you, oh, so you haven't played it? No, I haven't played at all. Apparently, I've heard, and I've heard, watching a little bit, like when I was waking up, and apparently all the new guns, none of them are meta, which is weird, because usually the new guns that are released, they make O.P. So that people buy the skins or buy the battle pass to get the gun to level it up.
Starting point is 00:47:56 But none of the guns are meta, apparently the shotgun is horrible, which thank God. Yeah, thank God. Because if that thing came out and was busted, I would have lost composure. Running into buildings just and you're dead. Like the gallo, dude, you get. you get ran up on by people with gallows yeah it's busted but the grab apparently is good and then they leveled they leveled downtown
Starting point is 00:48:23 they want wait really downtown there's like a fissure in the middle of downtown and then i don't know what happened to stadium like a fissure like a fissure you're like a fissure you're fissure you're fissure you're fissure and then there's bunkers under the map like world war two bunkers I don't know what happened to stadium. Wait, this might be fun to play Wars on today. Yeah. So that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:48:45 We could play like Battlefield and then play. Holy shit, they're getting rid of downtown. Dude, I might play. Yeah. Isn't that what everyone's been asking for? Fine. Yes, for a year and a half. Play sucks.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Downtown does suck. I play sucks, dude. It sucks, but. There's nothing cool about that place. Nothing cool about that place at all. So yeah, you want to play Wars on today? Dude, we could do a nice little battlefield times Warzone stream, just probably not get bored the whole time.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Is that the goal? I mean, yeah, sometimes when you're playing war zone, I'm not even going to lie. Like, I mean, I'm only playing it for another month consistently until Vanguard comes out. Yeah. But like you, there are days where you just lose fucking fool all day long. Yeah. I'm not kidding. That's why I stop playing.
Starting point is 00:49:24 That's why I stop playing. I'm not kidding. They're like two days ago, we literally, eight games we played on Verdant, six hackers. We switched to rebirth and started having fun. Apparently that's like the wave is rebirth. That was like the regain was rebirth. But dude, that, that. that like three hour period
Starting point is 00:49:42 like the chat's just like get a good game like get a 30 bomb and I'm like bro there's literally zero chance we're getting hacked on every game and then if you're not getting hacked on there's two teams of stream snipers in the game it's gotta fuck them up it's frustrating well yeah if you kill the stream snipers usually
Starting point is 00:49:58 the lobbies aren't bad but yeah it gets frustrating quick so are you gonna play multiplayer strictly when it comes out or are you going to try to play both I will probably like at the start I'll probably dabble in both
Starting point is 00:50:13 but like when the season starts I'll probably play most of the multiplayer especially if there's league played to start of the year what are you laughing at just picturing you're just being super jealous and I'm playing horizontal day I mean hopefully it's good
Starting point is 00:50:27 I'm in a cycle and I'm like yeah it looks pretty bad and hopefully it's good for your sake Hopefully the game is good, so you have something to play and enjoy. I'm not trying to be malicious. You are. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:50:44 You always are. Everyone thinks I'm always trying to be malicious. I'm saying, I hope it's good for you. Chinese government bans teenagers under 16 after I'm streaming. I think that's always been a thing. That was a good transition. Thanks. I mean, is that fair?
Starting point is 00:51:00 I don't know. Loki, imagine, well, I'm imagining when I'm like 13, 14, playing Halo 2. Streaming. If streaming was a thing, like how it is now back then, I would have fucking loved it. Would you be canceled now? Probably. Probably. At least he's honest.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Probably. I'd be pissed. I'm thinking it myself at like 14 to 15, 16. I don't know. Those are like the years of like, like, those years are when you're like learning the game. And that's like when your growth is happening, like, in terms of like learning how to play games. So. like the right way.
Starting point is 00:51:38 So like, it's kind of like, that's kind of fuck that they can't stream until, because I started streaming when I was probably, what, 13?
Starting point is 00:51:47 Really? What? Was it 13? Maybe 15. 15, yeah, I probably streamed when I was 15. So,
Starting point is 00:51:53 like, imagine I didn't have, because that was like my breakout year. Like, when I started, like, streaming and when you were 15 was your breakout year?
Starting point is 00:51:59 I mean, MW3. That was before at Blackups 2, wasn't it? Or was it after? It was before. It was before. It was before.
Starting point is 00:52:05 Right before, yeah. Yeah, it was the year before. That's when I, like, started blowing up. What the fuck? You don't remember I got the double Moab on Hard Hat? And that was like my first. No, I don't. I mean, I don't remember your specific video.
Starting point is 00:52:18 I was like my first, like, huge video. And then, who promoted it? Ronald Deenio promoted it. And he had like, what? A YouTuber at the time. Ronaldinho is his name. Oh, so not Ronaldinho. No, not the fucking soccer player.
Starting point is 00:52:34 Okay. But he promoted it. And that's like when I got. my first traction and then I kind of carried that into blackups too. I do remember that. I actually remember that now. That's probably why fucking Optic wanted me in the first place because I like actually had a decent base of viewers or just content. Yeah. And that came from MW3. So imagine I didn't get to do that. Like that's just here. Yeah. I mean, I wonder if they can, I wonder if it's like content in general or like they just specifically can't live stream. Like I wonder if they can like
Starting point is 00:53:04 I mean, they make YouTube videos or TikToks or whatever it may. Yeah. I mean, it's not super hindering. Because if you started at 16, it's still, you'd still be in a, you know, good age to start. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's so pretty young.
Starting point is 00:53:19 But, yeah, I don't, I don't. I mean, 15. Holy shit, you started so young. Yeah. That's fucking crazy. I think my first stream ever, I was 22. I streamed around 15, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Yeah. My first stream ever was at. 60-50 so that's probably like 24 damn I mean just think about how long I never had internet good enough to I'd like 0.5 upload think about how long you were playing video games
Starting point is 00:53:45 uh I was probably I don't really remember I was so hype my first string it's crazy to think about I played because the time flew back is the next 18 years going to fly by like that probably shit you'll be old
Starting point is 00:53:59 I said I said I probably started playing video games when I was like eight so I said the next 18 years going to fly by like these? What were you grinding when you were eight? I know you had your specific games. I think that was when the original Xbox came out or around then. I might be wrong on my age.
Starting point is 00:54:17 2000? So I was... What was the first system you guys played? I was five? What was the first system you played? I might have been playing since I was five. So I played PS1. Because when the first Xbox came out, my brother got it and I played it.
Starting point is 00:54:28 Really? Yeah. But whenever that was. Huh? Do you play PS1? I don't think so. I think I started on next one. Xbox.
Starting point is 00:54:35 Xbox came out 2001. Did you play PlayStation? That's when I started. Genesis and N-64. I played N-64 as well. What was first? N-64 or PlayStation? N-64.
Starting point is 00:54:45 I played N-64 then. I played that as well. I played like Golden Eye and shit. Yeah. Bro, have you, when you think of Golden Eye, do you think like that game was sick? Like, it's a classic.
Starting point is 00:54:54 I don't remember about it. Really? I think it was kind of wild. And do you think of it that way? Yeah. Have you gone back and played it again? It's impossible. It's so bad.
Starting point is 00:55:02 It's impossible to play. Yeah. It's so bad. Dude, in order to aim, you have to hold down the right trigger, because there's only one joystick. You have to hold down the right trigger and then it'll lock your aim and then you can move your reticle. It's fucking, and then other than that, it's just your hip firing. It's really difficult. It's super difficult.
Starting point is 00:55:22 But I'm sure it was. But at the time, back then it was. I mean, it was loved it. It was like you guys ever play on Spiro? Yeah. The PlayStation. Spiro is lit. They need to remake that fucking game.
Starting point is 00:55:32 Okay. I just say they have. Then I probably did play the regular. because I played Spiro. Yeah, I think they did remain it. Crash Bandicoot? A year ago. Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet and Clank.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Yeah, those are all really good. Yeah. I say I wasn't allowed to have a fucking console until the Xbox came out. So I just went over to Friends House all the time and I would play some PlayStation games, some N-S64 games, whatever they had. I would just play whatever they. Dude, I miss being a kid. Being a kid was fun. You could play so much shit.
Starting point is 00:55:58 You remember just going over to kids, me and Nick talk about this. You remember just going over to kids' houses just knocking on the door? door. I'd be like, are you know? Yeah, it's John. Is Johnny home? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:09 That's fucking crazy now. Somebody knocks on my door now. I'm like, I wonder what they, there's no way kids do that. Who is this? I look at, I look at my door and I answer them.
Starting point is 00:56:19 I'm like, hello. If I hear a knock on my door, if I hear a knock on my door by like heart stops, I'm like, same. Like, dude,
Starting point is 00:56:26 I'm like, you know what it used to trick me out? Remember when streamers used to have like the, uh, I love doing that shit. Dude, I would think people were at my window. Like, I'd be afraid to open. I remember it happened at the optic house.
Starting point is 00:56:38 And I was, like, afraid to look out my window. I thought someone was at my window. Yeah. On the second story. Literally, dude, it's like, like, it's like a, it sounds. It's super convincing. It sounds like someone's knocking on your door. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:51 I can play, I can, like, play through the Discord. So I was trying to do, I was trying to do that so, like, so bad whenever we were playing with Zen. So I would just play it. Boom, boom, boom. But it doesn't come out of stereo. comes out as mono so it just sounds like it's straight on so it's not nearly as but you used to do that with your go xLR yeah i used to do it so much bro in 2020 i put so much shit on my go xLR to just troll people in matchmaking like just by yourself
Starting point is 00:57:21 yeah just by myself not streaming at 7 a m i'm in social 4v4s like just fucking trolling kids like i've done that one like plenty of times the knock one Yeah, it's good. What happened to you? You just see your teammate, like, stop moving. You know, it's just like, that's the joy you get out of it? Sometimes I would download a whole MP3 of a song
Starting point is 00:57:47 and put it in my GoXL artist. It's so, like, it's just coming through perfectly in their headphones. Just like a regular fucking normal song. Probably Drake. There's definitely plenty of Drake. You'd have been more told me. You'd have been like candy shop.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Yeah, I did. I did a lot of troll songs. Like Barbie girl. Like, they just telitubby theme song. Like, this random shit. You ever seen the picture of the... You were 29? I was 29, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:17 You ever seen the picture of the... You ever seen the picture of the telituby without his mask on, just ripping down a bogue? What? You must know. I bet I made that my profile pic. I forget where I saw it, bro. It's just a telotubby. He's sitting on, like...
Starting point is 00:58:33 a hill and he has his helmet next to him and he's just smoking a sick. That is fucking great. He looks some miserable, well. That is great. Which isn't funny, but like the fake hill with the sun in the back. The picture itself is funny. I can't remember where I saw it. Am I saw on Twitter?
Starting point is 00:58:52 You know, they call it. They call the actors back and he's just, he's like, cut. Yeah. He just puts that on his fucking leg. He just smells like a cigarette. Like under the hair. He's just bathing in it.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Just basking in it, bro. I thought that was so funny. You find it, Matt? Yeah, find that. You can, like, take tours. Exclusive people can take tours of, like, Disneyland, too. And, like, you can go behind the scenes and you just see, apparently, all the act, like, all the people, like, goofy masks.
Starting point is 00:59:25 That'd be depressing. They're all just smoking. I mean, yeah. You know, in order to work at Disney, you have to go to a, Disney University? I believe it. That's actually kind of late. They're super in character there.
Starting point is 00:59:38 What is it Disney University? They don't break character, bro. They never break character. I wonder what they do there. I wonder if that's a fireable offense. It is. If you break character, you're done. That's it.
Starting point is 00:59:49 And you went to school for it. That's fucking crazy. Really? I guess that's why it works so good. And like, if you go to school to be fucking the little mermaid and there's no little mermaid spots open in Florida or California, then you'll get shipped to fucking Paris.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Wait, actually? I mean, where else are you going to, you went to school for it? Yeah, you're a little mermaid ready. I mean, that'd be an adventure. You're going to Hong Kong. That's an adventure. You go to fucking Disney World Paris. You have to learn French.
Starting point is 01:00:17 Yeah. And you're just a little mermaid? You're just a little mermaid. You just feel so alone. Matt Craig is still searching for the picture. Yeah, because I think you made that up. You dream. I don't know where I saw it, but I've seen it.
Starting point is 01:00:31 I know I've seen it. Talley Tubby Matt's looking up Teletubby. I'm pretty sure it was the red one. Red Tully Tully Tully. I might have dreamed it. I could have dreamed it.
Starting point is 01:00:42 Tinky Winky. Tinky somewhere in my life. I know that for sure. Tinky Winky Dipsy Lala Po. Are those the names of the Teletubbies? That's sad that you know that is actually sad. I think Poe's the purple. Okay, no one's going to back you up here.
Starting point is 01:00:55 This is all you. How do you know this? You know what you? You don't talk with Teletubbies? What's one of them? Tinky Winky Winky. Which one's that? one already.
Starting point is 01:01:03 I don't know. It sounds like it would be the yellow. Tinky, then Dipsy, super trolly. And Lala, I think Lala's red. Lala's got to be.
Starting point is 01:01:11 Po. That's purple? It's just a big purple guy. Just po. Why are you so into tel-divodes? You have the baby? As the son? Was there a baby?
Starting point is 01:01:20 Was there a baby? No, it's the sun. The son was a baby. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, shit. That was much. You think that show like, like watching it, like, now?
Starting point is 01:01:30 Like, if you were like on acid or some shit? I bet. Yeah. You think you'd be like, this makes a lot more sense. Yeah. I bet there's like some crazy conspiracy theories and shit of behind it. Have you ever watched Alice in Wonderland, like the original one? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:45 I don't. I feel like I have. I can't believe we watched that as like the one from like the 1950s. Oh, maybe not that. I thought you went. The new ones. The new one? The Mad Had him, Johnny Depp.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Oh, no. He's such a good actor. Yeah, he's good. Yeah, that's like another one of those, right? It's like I can't believe. Conspiracy theory. Crazy. It's literally an acid trip from start to finish.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Matt, are you still looking for it? This is definitely made up. It's just putting you on a fucking wild goose jesus. I could have sure I saw it, bro. Yeah. If somebody tweets that picture at Seth, if somebody tweets that picture of Seth, he'll give you $100. Is it all a fabrication?
Starting point is 01:02:27 What's that one? The X-Files guy? I've never seen X-Files. It's make-belief. It's make-belief. Pleat fabrication. And it's just like over and over, you're not going to believe this.
Starting point is 01:02:38 You know, Oger 2 and Oger 1 had Gamer Tags at some point? Or I could be making this up, but I'm pretty sure they had like fake gamer tags and they were like Agent Dana Scully and Agent Fox Mulder. It was the X-Files Act for those people. I thought that was super cool. So props.
Starting point is 01:02:55 It sounds like something they would do, though. It looked pretty cool. I never seen X-Files. Wow. I actually, right. I cannot relate to this. But I think that's going to do it for this. This has been a crazy all over the place podcast.
