My screen will be black and then he'll come back and I see Nate in the back of the spawn. And then I'll hear Jay say,
Starting point is 00:00:30 Oh, what the heck? Speed it up, Matt. He's so funny, bro. It's so funny. I love that shit. He'd be like, oh, you got shit out.
Starting point is 00:00:41 All right. It's all good. See, bro. Does Matt get mad? Are you laughing? Yeah, he'll be like, don't do me like that, Mark. Don't do me like that.
Starting point is 00:00:50 You're so funny. Oh, man. If I had that in a tournament, I would have played so bad. That's actually, that's a funny ass squad. Welcome. Welcome, welcome to episode number 152 on the Yopt-DIC podcast.
Starting point is 00:01:10 This episode is brought to you by Center, Texas Day, Brazil. Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, Factor, rocket money, and built. And I'll tell you a little bit more about them later on in the podcast. But for now, Nick was talking about how the GT, that something finally happened. Oh, yeah. To dethrone the great Mr. Beast. Beast in 20.
Starting point is 00:01:36 So Mr. Beas had the most viewed YouTube video within 24 hours. I think it was like 58 million in the GTA6 trailer, which I wanted to watch here on the pod, because I haven't seen it yet, but it surpassed that 58 million or whatever it was in 13 hours. This is about to be the biggest thing in. It might finally, there might finally be a game that comes out that makes me want to play it.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Really? You play that, right? You play those role-playing games? Play that shit my childhood. That was my favorite shit. Yeah, you had like a whole R-B stint, didn't you? Yeah, I had like a whole group, and it was like a good three to six months. Because the server has to be good for GTRP to work.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Because if people are just running around shooting each other, it doesn't make sense. You need that people that actually want to like role play. It is. Everyone, everyone's role-playing into it. See, I thought the same thing. I role played. I was like just the thug and I had like my minions.
Starting point is 00:02:36 It's just me like You were just Embos in the dude. Embo's from D Block. I was just me, yeah. I was just talking normal. I was Fat Tony. Okay. I own the police.
Starting point is 00:02:48 You own the police? My boss. Me and Zuma own the police. Tomasi and Fat Tony. The cops would give us guns and shit. It was so fun, man. So. I'm excited for that.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Hopefully, uh, 2025, right? When they're releasing it? I haven't, I haven't played GTA since it was a top down look on PS2. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Damn. That's the last time I played. I used to just miss coming home, just loading up GTA, just doing random kids driving around. They're acting like it's real life, like going through the light, like stopping at a red light.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Making a turn, like actually getting to a fucking brawl or like attack like a terrorist. Talk to yourself. Dude, you just go sniping people and I don't know, something Wait, could you, wait, so if I wanted so could just be a sniper in the shadows?
Starting point is 00:03:38 Yeah, if you wanted. Like, you could, like, you could sign. And I thought, I were, the highway, the highway sniper. What was it called? The highway sniper. Yeah, the DC sniper. The DC sniper, they shoot people out of the fucking lock.
Starting point is 00:03:49 When, um, yeah, with this shit coming back, I was like thinking like, am I gonna, am I gonna? No. What? You never heard about the DC sniper? I don't think so. Dude, just sniping people out of like the lock of his car. And shit.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Like the barrel through the lock and she threw there pulls it back. People were pumping their gas at this. That's fucking crazy. That random? Just sniping people?
Starting point is 00:04:09 He was like a US snipe like the dude had a shot. He was just picking people. I think they found him. Oh my God. Yeah, I think the two That's a sick motherfucker man. I think the two people are in too.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Watch yourself. Yeah, actually he could. I didn't even say it. Actually. When you edit this, make sure that you zoom in on that. I was just going to
Starting point is 00:04:29 I was thinking about being something like that it's so fucking taking something that happened in real life and becoming that role player on GTA I'm just saying it's the sniper in the city like no because you can get stream sniped and people are going to go like try to catch you and shit I mean then they get banned from the server
Starting point is 00:04:52 because like you can't do that you can't like if people are harassing you and like if I found a place in the woods and a motherfucker I turn around and it's just five people behind me, follow me up
Starting point is 00:05:03 some tall ass mountain it's like, okay, like you guys are all getting reported and they'll ban you. Like, as long as you have like
Starting point is 00:05:09 a good, I had like a good connection with my guy and if I wanted someone ban, they just get Instaband, no questions. So that's what's actually good about.
Starting point is 00:05:16 During your role play days, did you ever abuse your power to ban people just because? I don't think so. No, most people obeyed. Um, I don't know why that word's funny.
Starting point is 00:05:27 You know what? You know, know which ones to crack me up the ones where that dude's walking around and he climbs on dudes and shit? Are you all twirking shit? Yeah. Yeah, bro, it could be so fun. Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I was actually, when I saw it, when I saw the quality of it, I'm like, man, I'm like, it made me want to play it and I'm not a type of player that will play a game like that. But I did, I did want to get in there and see what's up. It'll be super fun. I'm disappointed in the 20, 25. release date. I mean, like, God,
Starting point is 00:06:01 damn, when was, what was GTA 5 out? When did they release that? 20. 21? No. 2013?
Starting point is 00:06:10 Oh my God. Damn. No. 2013, it's going to be 10 years plus for a fucking... 12 years. That's insane.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I mean, that's just, who knows, this could be the next... Dude, I saw they had, like, Twitter and Instagram
Starting point is 00:06:26 in the game, but it looks so real. Yeah, bro. I'm telling you this shit might be insane. Online in GTA. Yeah. And like, just nothing in the real world.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Like, I don't mean like that, but you know what I mean, though? You're like a celebrity in GTA. Like your GTA characters? Like, Tophos popping?
Starting point is 00:06:43 Yeah. You're just a new. IRL. That's how it is. I'll just draw. All right. So, it's going to be insane.
Starting point is 00:06:52 So let's go down the line. Would you, are you going to play it? Are you looking forward to playing it? Yeah, I definitely play it. Are you going to stream it? Yeah. Are you?
Starting point is 00:06:57 Are you? Are you? Are you? Are you? Are you? Yeah. 100%. Should we get a, like, a large group?
Starting point is 00:07:02 I would like for it to be like a... The GTRP, dude, I'm telling you, it is probably the most fun I've had to gaming for like... Paid subscriptions and everything. Like, you... It would be fucking packed. Wait, what are paid subscriptions? Like, we charge before people to get in the server? Pay $5, make a legit application to send in your application cost you $5.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Who looks at the application? And also, so the servers... Some GRP nerd. who like knows like because whenever I had to submit people actually have to submit applications of like who their character is their backstory or what they're gonna
Starting point is 00:07:36 and like people actually had to do that to get in these servers and it's like we could do an optic one the same fucking way and you pay for like a white list I'm gonna start it get a percentage and then I'll run the whole yeah yeah the GTRP guy but no if we actually had
Starting point is 00:07:49 optic people because I don't know what's gonna if like a new cod's gonna be dropping in this time or whatever but if it's like a dead time, that shit would pop. And like, CNS on it daily and like people would, it would be like optic Minecraft again. I don't know what I would do. Be lit.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Big ass optic tower in the middle with the logo. Oh, yeah. Okay, I'm sold. I'm fucking sold. People pay a lot too. Because you have to pay for like, because a lot of servers are a lot of people. So you pay for like a white list.
Starting point is 00:08:19 So some people pay like 400 a month or no, maybe like a 400 one-time fee. So it bumps you up in the queue. when you enter the queue. Otherwise, you can be waiting for five hours if the server's too packed. You know what I mean? So those servers make a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:08:34 I go in there, I'm like, I'm a Minecraft character and I'm like, oh, you see him as punching trees the whole time? I miss Minecraft. Now, doesn't, like, Fortnite have Minecraft now? Does it? Like some, like, mini mode? It's, is it Minecraft or Lego?
Starting point is 00:08:47 I want to sign on Fortnite. I think it might be Lego. It's Lego. Dude, Fortnite. But I think it's like a Legoey Minecraft. They did something with Minecraft. I am so envious. what Fortnite gets to do every time they have like that, like a big announcement.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Ninja had like 600K viewers again, bro. He said, oh my God, I saw a TikTok. He said Twitch Prime with 600K viewers. I was like this. Yeah. It wasn't even a, it wasn't even a chat room. It wasn't even, there was no messages. It was just prime.
Starting point is 00:09:16 It didn't end. It was like a waterfall. I was like, yeah. He was sitting there like it was normal. I would have been shirt off. Yeah, bro. He would start another conversations while that was having. And I was like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:09:27 I'd be going insane. Dude, you gotta watch it. I was like, it's just pouring and pouring. What's his most viewers ever? Probably the Drake Travis stream. This was close. This was like 600K or... He never hit a mill though, right?
Starting point is 00:09:47 Oh my God. See, Minecraft and... Bro, I want to play Minecraft again, I think. But there's... Me playing it by myself just is not entertaining. and people don't care. Let's do it and then we'll go
Starting point is 00:09:57 kill the dragon. But there's so many new things though. Like I want to play because like it's a completely different game than what I used to play. I love farming.
Starting point is 00:10:07 That's just what I want to do. I want to grow wheat. Yeah. So nerdy and fun. It's not nerdy at all. It's literal. It's the manliest thing that you can do.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Survive. It's a survival game. You know? Women fucking survive good as hell too. I bet. All right. Let's get into
Starting point is 00:10:25 this thing. We went to a speaking of surviving. We went on a camping trip recently. Zinni backed out because, get this, he went to Disney as a grown adult. No kids with him. He just went to Disney. He didn't bring his little cousins. He didn't bring, he went to Disney. Would you go to Disney? No, probably not. Why? It's okay. I didn't go alone. It's not like I, I still like I was walking around with ears, like just solo. Wasn't a solo Disney trip. Walking around with those big bubble makers? Just making sure everyone else had a good time. Listen, man, you can't hate on Disney was lit up for, literally just it.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Lit up for Christmas. Yeah, but it was a couple's trip. I didn't go alone. If I went alone, I totally agree up a psychopath. That'd be weird. No offense to. But Christmas was, I mean, it's like lit up for Christmas. The rides, a bunch of new rides.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Like the Guardians ride at Epcot was like the sickest ride I've been to in like a Disney park. The Tron ride is crazy. The Tron ride is like. Love Tron. You lay down on this bike, they strap you in, and it's like a fast-ass roller coaster. There was some fun rides, but... I feel like the older I get.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I wasn't Disney. Rides freak me out a little bit. No older I got, I started scared of heights. Rides freak me out, heights a little bit. I used to not give a fun. The ocean. Just like he's little... When I was a little kid, none of that shit.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I loved rides, loved... Didn't love heights. I didn't care about heights. Like, the ocean didn't scare me. And now it's just like... I've learned about all these things these things. I can't like look over. When I look over, it feels like I'm about to like tip over.
Starting point is 00:11:59 I was, I was in L.A. I think it was like four seasons or something. The dude, my guy that he owns a Green Dog, the weed brand. We're doing a drop this weekend. If you guys are in Santa Rosa or in San Diego, please look at the information of Pine Park. That aside, we were with this dude. He has fucking chronic.
Starting point is 00:12:20 And we were up in his balcony and we were all smoking. It was me, Josefo, this dude named Barney, and this guy. And we were all there, Drew's fucking loft apartment or thing that he ran was fucking dope. But as we were smoking, I started to think, I'm like, dude, what if I get like, what if I faint and I just like go over this thing? And like, I would fucking kill the vibe so hard. So I sat down and shit, not on the floor. I sat down on one of the lounges, one of the things they had there. And I'm like, I'm like, man, why the fuck did that thought come in my head?
Starting point is 00:12:59 Because, you know, it's dangerous to have these negative intrusive thoughts because, you know, what if you act on them? I'm just like, I don't want to fucking. One switch of your brain. Yeah. I could do some. That shit's crazy. I mean, I've seen some shit like that on like the faces of death. something on Netflix
Starting point is 00:13:20 was like this mom he was like perfectly just normal mom loved her kids blah blah blah one day just has all her kids in the car and just drives into the opposite lane and like kills herself and everyone in the car and they found like a little alcohol on her system and a little
Starting point is 00:13:34 marijuana and her family's her family's like she didn't drink or smoke like this is not possible like they don't believe it at all a huge investigation happened I forget what they like officially found out but she but they're saying like like something had to just like switch in her brain make her go fucking insane for because she was like
Starting point is 00:13:53 perfectly normal to them and for her to just like drive on the opposite lane kill her and like all of her kids one of her kids survived oh my god um but it was just like her family was insisting to like the police that like it wasn't a little weed and a little alcohol like she had to just like go insane or like have some kind of something fucking happened to or for her to do that. Jesus. With the kids something happened. Didn't that with the kids? Like your brain just switches and you turn into a
Starting point is 00:14:23 fucking demon for 10 seconds. I wonder if that is possible. It's actually crazy. That's fucking insane. Jesus. Anyways, camping. Yeah. Speaking of survival, as we were saying, we went camp. So he went to Disney so he didn't get a chance to go. Would you have gone though? Yeah, I was on it. I wouldn't have said. Everyone says they will go. I mean, I was on the, I was in that.
Starting point is 00:14:42 I wasn't put on the, they didn't put on the, they didn't No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's a, that's a fast facts. But I was, I'm like, when we were there, we're like, oh, why don't fucking bring bows? And I was like, well, they asked hitch. It was, I mean, I guess, I don't think they asked him. They just put it on a sheet. And then hitch bailed the day before. I was like, all right, see you tomorrow for the camping trip.
Starting point is 00:15:01 It was like, no, I'm not going to be there. He was like, I'm not trying to get sick. And I was like, dude, what? Who's going to yell at these kids? I was going to be like, I'm not trying to get sick either. Like, I'm not going to. So it's just, I think, though. if we maybe would have Aspo's.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Would you have made the video trip? Yeah. Would you? Bro, it was funny. I don't know how good the video is going to come out. Oh, really good. Really good. The trip was fun.
Starting point is 00:15:25 It was the most fun I've had maybe all year. Really? Really? Like I was, I mean, you saw me. I was fucking. Yeah, we were. I was so, like, happy. He was.
Starting point is 00:15:36 I mean, I was, there were other things included that were making me happy. Yeah. But just like the overall trip of like, putting your phone away and just like hex was calling out my ADHD if like put the phone away we're like setting up tents and setting up different shit doing some different stuff for the video and I'm just like walking around grabbing trees breaking them and it's like I haven't been in like a woods I don't know it's like it did something to my brain I haven't like been in the woods or anything and just bored so I'm just grabbing shit breaking wood fucking compiling firewoods
Starting point is 00:16:13 and shit. So it was me, Pomaj and him. And it was just, I don't know, it was just kind of fun. And then we got the fire going,
Starting point is 00:16:19 got some Jack Daniels out. Got some little booms. A little bit. And then it just turned fucking fun. And like, we literally set the fire up at like 7 p.m.
Starting point is 00:16:34 or some shit. And we were out there sitting there till 3. 3 a.m. Think about that. From 7 a.m. from the moment that we lit the fire.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Okay. Since the moment we started the fire Until 3.30 a.m., We were all just sitting around the campfire Just fucking talking shit. This guy's ADHD. Don't get me fucking started. That's the only,
Starting point is 00:16:53 it's not even a complaint. I found it more amusing than anything Because he would play a song for 15 seconds And then he'd be on a completely different genre For another 15 seconds. And then he'd be on a different genre Or same genre, different artists. I'll be like, yo, let the fucking song play.
Starting point is 00:17:08 But then fucking crazy. But then eventually we found our groove. Yeah. I found my groove. music and then it was just I don't know it's just so fucking fun everything was fucking hilarious and you got it was me hex Pam James JP yeah like it's not like we had this like big ass fucking hilarious group like it was such I was like I was I was saying we need to get someone else here I was like this shit's gonna be fucking lame like I was like do you guys want to make
Starting point is 00:17:35 this video good or are we just like trying to get it done as he pulls out of whatever so you guys want to make this video good or not If we would have had bows Like just more people It just would have made it even more fun Would you go again But for us Just for fun
Starting point is 00:17:48 No videos just for fun Yeah I would 100% That shit was fun Like me you Pam Then JP and James Like Because who abandoned us Mid trip
Starting point is 00:18:00 Hitch Oh Matt Craig Bailed on us too Really? Matt Craig is there He hung out for a little bit And then He went home
Starting point is 00:18:10 How far would you guys go for. Was it close? Hour away. Hour away. Yeah. It was actually, I was, I'm surprised at how fun it was in the, because of the location that it was.
Starting point is 00:18:21 It was like on somebody's land. Yeah. And anyway, you'll see the video's fucking really, really, really good. Crack, like I was laughing my ass off. At night, I don't know if you guys know this. I don't know if you guys fucking know this, but if you're in the woods at night and you have a flashlight directly on a, we had like the headband flashlight. Yeah, the headlights.
Starting point is 00:18:40 When you look into the ground and you see like little diamonds shining back at you, those are spider eyes. Nick, tell them how many spiders there were. They were, I had no, like I saw a spider crawling my tent. How big was that spider that crawled you take? Bigger than a quarter. Big as fuck. Yeah. Like this, bro.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Big. It was like a quarter and a half. And he's like, oh. And I'm like, what? He's like, look at this. And I get up. And then I noticed there was something wrong with the spider. He was like, oh, it's missing a leg.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Oh, right, go on. And then, um, didn't really see any the rest of the night. And then nighttime came and we were like, I don't know, gathering wood or something. And we had our little headlamps on. And then Hex pointed out to me. I'm like, well, I don't see anything. He was like, no, look. Like, boy down.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Look straight. And then you just see fucking like 20 different spider eyes. Like it looked like little just like diamonds just like shining in your eye. But every single one of them is a spider. So, like, you would just follow that and go, and boom, spider just, like, on a piece of grass. And it was so many. We were surrounded by, like, 100 spiders. Like, at nighttime, when you really go do that, probably more.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Yeah. Like, when you really, like, just started looking around and, like, got away from the campfire to where it's just all dark. There are. There are so many spiders. It's actually insane. Like, way more than you think there are. It's fucking weird. Like literally just nothing but little diamond
Starting point is 00:20:11 Just shining back in your eyes And then there was big diamonds And then there was big diamonds And you got closer and those fucking things were massive Really? Yeah So one time I'm like I gotta go pee So I fucking left the camp And I walked down this thing
Starting point is 00:20:24 And I was going back towards like the entrance And right there is when I was I literally was freaking I was like afraid and shit Because I would look and tree would have like a big old diamond Looking at me I'd be like oh And I'd just be looking around
Starting point is 00:20:35 And one thing happened to me that like what are the odds right that I'm walking through the woods in a single branch that I don't see like slides into my eye and slide like literally into my eyelid and slices me up it didn't cut me but bro I was walking I'm like oh and I just freaked out for like half an hour I'm like oh my god I'm I have like what do I have like what sort of microbes are on this little fucking branch what are the what are the odds bro what are the odds that I don't see it and it literally graces that my my eye it like graces my head I'm like fuck I screamed, dude. And it was in the daylight. It just completely missed it, man. It was that. But once we got the fire going, we pretty much went to bed when it started raining.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Even that was nice. But by that time, I was fucking. Tired? Yeah. I was gone. But that was like, like sometimes I'll drink or do a little smoke or a little shroomy or something. But it's like, I don't know. It's just not.
Starting point is 00:21:38 that great anymore. It just feels like it's not what it used to. Like, during the summer I went out a decent amount and I was just like, dude, I'm so over this shit. But like that night, just like being in the middle of nowhere, fucking no phone. I don't know. Everything just like hit harder is fucking hilarious.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Like you would just look at Pam and just start laughing. It just be big ass just sitting in this little fucking lawn chair. He was doing like bets with JP about like drink chugging relish for five gifted yeah and then like he chugs the relish and we're like
Starting point is 00:22:13 ew you fucking sicko and then like an hour later I look in his cup half the relish is still there I'm like Pam he didn't even fucking do it so JP took he's like why I ain't doing it then it and Pam was like fuck I just drank relish for no gifted and it became like no but he said that like I don't know where yeah it's quiet like there's maybe like three minutes of silence and then all of a sudden you hear a voice fuck man I just drink relish for no gifted and that he fucking And I just started dying laughing, just like, you drank relish for no gift. That is such a funny sentence.
Starting point is 00:22:44 It was a tall bottle of Jack, like a big one. A big one, fucking him and Pam. And then I think JP and James like drank a little bit of it. But they fucking gargled. I mean Pam are going. I could not believe it. I was disgusted. I could not believe it.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Then went to sleep at 3.30, woke up at 7. And I was sleeping like upside down, like down the mouth. Like, dude, I don't know, bro. By the time I went in my tent and went to sleep, I passed out instantly and just. So we all have our own tent, right? And we build our tent. When I'm done with my tent's obviously self-sufficient.
Starting point is 00:23:25 I went and helped Nick out. Pam needed help. So we helped them put the things. Now, Pam is there the whole time. He sees the spider that went on top of his tent. He saw the whole thing. He knows there spiders everywhere. After we were done building it,
Starting point is 00:23:38 We sat down and we started to fuck around with the fire, like trying to build it. It was hard. Everything was wet, so it was like hard to get the flint to go. And then guess what happens? I look over at Pam's fucking tent wide open. Left that shit,
Starting point is 00:23:52 he didn't zip it up and close it. It was wide open. I'm like, yo, look at Pam's tent's wide open. How many fucking spiders crawled in there? I don't know. His bag was, he was just hanging his bag off a tree that spiders just crawling up and down. It was so funny.
Starting point is 00:24:08 And Pam, Pam, but it'd be like quiet for 30 seconds. And Pam be like, yo, hand me the jack. Not, it was,
Starting point is 00:24:16 and he was just fucking wasted. Like, he loved that, he loved it though. Yeah, it was, yeah, Pam,
Starting point is 00:24:22 I think we all enjoyed it. I loved it. I mean, I fucking enjoyed it. That's my shit. I love doing that. Like, it'd be so fun of just like,
Starting point is 00:24:28 eight, nine, 10 of us went out. Like a legit spot. Not like a legit one, right? Everybody builds their own tent. We built fire together.
Starting point is 00:24:38 we cooked we cooked on there this was pretty fun to cook i grabbed the i was starving by the time i got to i had eaten at like 8 30 that morning and i didn't eat i already know what you ate what hot dogs yeah but not not that's not what i started with i know it i started with uh i love hot dogs you brought some shit that was cold package and so no matt brought some chili some home-meled spicy bean chili crack that bitch open you were eating it out of the can through that shit in the fire he was like this yeah we had some spoons. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:25:10 so good. And then after that we made steak. And that's where we'll leave it because it was fuck. Pomage. Jesus fucking Chris. Yeah, we could save some for the video.
Starting point is 00:25:18 God help him. Pomage making a steak. Fucking just, I'll save it for the video, but he poured, like he tried to get pepper on his steak, like shaking it. The cap falls off and the entire pepper.
Starting point is 00:25:29 No, no. He took the cap off thinking that there was that, that extra thing with the holes in it. But he took it all off and it was all exposed. That, the cap was, it was a flip-up, not a screw-off. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:41 So he said, whoosh. And the entire jar of pepper goes on a steak. And we'll just let your imagination. Whatever the logical thing to do in that situation was not done. Yeah, more for the video. Moral of the story. Like, Jesus Christ. And he was eating it.
Starting point is 00:25:59 He was like, this is pretty good. And he's like scraping off his pepper on his steak. Then he tries yours. And he was like, darn. Yeah. It was so good. Speaking of Nick and Pomage, that that night was also a little bit of a celebration, right? Because they won a tournament.
Starting point is 00:26:17 How do you feel that you backed out on them? That could have been you. I wouldn't have been able to do it. I couldn't even do it with Zen. What? Why? I mean, they had blastful, scrappy. They're good for 15 a game.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Yeah. It's fucking, I mean, the S&D would like blast, apparently. I mean, we went through skies, scrap, and blasts. And those dudes are just fucking animals. With Scrappy or Scrappy? The London. Scrappy.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Who was your fourth besides? Mike P. Mike P. The battle rapper. The battle rapper. Yeah, man. I don't fucking. I don't know how we won. Well, we were literally on the podcast
Starting point is 00:27:01 last week talking about how you weren't looking forward to it and how like that that to me was like the best part about it because earlier that day you had just sat here talking about how you're not prepared and you're not confident and you're like i just don't have it in me i just knew like with like if i was on that team we wouldn't have won i'm not like going to be able to put up like 15 fucking damn near 20 kilos that those would have been those would have been pissed like you need like uh you need a mental for that shit like you need a iGL like crap is probably all right yo two go here i'm gonna go here and he ain't do that shit
Starting point is 00:27:37 But he's also dropping 15, 20. He would drop numbers. Even like, I don't know. I'd like to think I made it, I mean, they were going off, but I like to think like my role would help them in certain instances.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Like, I knew, like, if Blass wanted to push somewhere or any of them, like, I'm like, before every single round, I'm like, all right, where are we going? Or like, what are you doing? This is what I'm doing. Like, Blass, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:28:07 And like if he says like I'm gonna push B Street, then I'm gonna go low B Street and like either sacrifice myself or at least like pick up the kill if he dies or if like he wants to go into a building. It's like let or if he wants to go in plane, let me slide in plane first so that like just fucking bait myself. So I was trying to do that and I feel like rarely I would just die for no fucking reason. Like, I feel like I would always, like, stay alive for him, get some kind of information. Like, I was really trying to do as best as I could with, like, the little practice I had. Yeah. Just, like, there is no way I was, like, running out there and, like, making plays and shit. But after we lost a scump, I was like, I can't play that average again.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Like, I have to be getting kills. I have to make some kind of plays. And I was so mad that we lost to Seth for, like, the divisional shit that, like, sparked a, sparked a little bit of a fire for me to just like, just lock in even more, play a little bit more, even though I was literally just playing pubs. But just play a little bit more. I had faith. I was like, for some reason we're decent and we're like beating these other guys.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Like we didn't, we didn't really have like a trash player. Like Mike P's bad and like I'm kind of bad. And I didn't expect much from Pam, but like Pam played pretty well like the whole the whole time. Yeah, Pam's really good with the snipe. Yeah. He's really good. But then there would be sometimes where it's like Pam has snipe and we're on offense and we're not getting any picks.
Starting point is 00:29:41 And then it's like, we push in, we die. He's a camper. He's a camper. But Pam played well. He is a camper. Listen, I didn't want to be the one to say it. Pam played well. Mike P's bad.
Starting point is 00:29:54 I'm bad. So I was like, dude, we have like our best player will be blast. And then like our second best is Pomage. And then I look at other teams, like, they got shots he and Tommy. I'm like, dude, this is just like, it's not fair. That's how I was thinking, but some of the teams were like, I'm like, fuck, yeah, I'm like, fuck. Like our team, like, it's me and me, Zinn, Natasha, Jack.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Jack sketched on like three matches. Reddles, uh, we had a bunch of fillers. Rettles is really good, though. Polly played. I fucked with him. Um, we just had a bunch of different, like rotating, like a rotating roster. I just looked at our squad like, Mike P's bad and I'm bad. And then our next bet, our second best player's, Pommage.
Starting point is 00:30:31 like we're a fuck but i think we just like pan played pretty well in our our all-star player would always show up and i would like i was like the perfect person yeah i was um sky's ass he was like yeah i can't play but y'all should uh i could hit up blast for y'all i was like do i haven't heard of blast in like so many years i was like i get he was like no trust me he like drives he fucking then i was like well let me tweet out see if like a draza or something can we'll want to play and But then Skies was like, yeah, Blass City's down. Then, like, Hitch just invites Blass to the Discord. I was like, dude, you don't even, like, let us discuss it or anything?
Starting point is 00:31:08 Like, just because Skies said Blasses down. But I was like, no, this, I think this will work out. Like, Blass isn't some, like, rich fuck who's just like, yeah, I'll play in the S&D tourney. He's looking at it, like, I need to fucking win this S&D tourney. And I'm up here. He's doing all right, but he's, but he'd like to win. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Dude, I remember, I was actually dying. He muses his mic mid-game. He was raging because, dude, I'm not gonna lie, those tournaments can get frustrating. Like, when you're like, when we were playing against Scrappy and I would die, I'm just like, oh my God, he's about to globe drop. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's about to spit on everybody. Yeah. So when Blast dies, you can, like, see his frustration. He's, like, he's, like, he's, like, back-to-back aces.
Starting point is 00:31:48 And then you guys lose four straight, mute his mic, he just goes, I think if I don't get four, we're just fucked. And then you guys come back and win it, and you guys all go crazy. I'm just like, you guys were down two, two, five last map, right? Yeah. five last map. Vives are done. No one was talking. Then like one rounds one.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Everyone's like, I mean, I, another round you're like, all right, it's possible. The only time in the entire, bro, if we could go find the bracket
Starting point is 00:32:18 from like from the beginning, every single series we played, it was a three two. And the one time we lost, we got reverse swept. Like every, I think only one series, and that's when we lost the Naden Scum,
Starting point is 00:32:31 in the divisional finals. They beat us 3-1. But besides that, every single loss was 3-2, or every single win was 3-2. Like, we were so used to going to game 5s. Like, I don't know, it didn't even really fucking matter to me, but for the finals, obviously we're in winners, they're in losers. So they got to beat us twice.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Then we come out, Map 1, high-rise, which is our best map. Like, I had full confidence in that. We came out fucking steamrolling them. I think we won like 6-1. I was like this shit's about to be fucking easy. Like I thought we were all on fire. Like I'm getting kills. Mike P's getting kills.
Starting point is 00:33:08 I'm like, this shit's about to be fucking easy. Then map two is terminal. I think we go up 5-1. And I was like, these kids are fucking trash. Let's end this shit. I was like, no one throw. Like, let's get this shit. Fucking.
Starting point is 00:33:22 And then they went, it's 5-2. Then it's 5-3. Then it's 5-4. Then it's 5-5. Then it's fucking round 11 map 2. And they end up winning. and I'm like, fuck. So it's tied 1-1.
Starting point is 00:33:33 They win the next two games shitting on us and then they beat us in the series. So they beat us 3-1 first series. And then starting off the grand finals reset, they beat us Map 1 kind of shit on us, beat us map 2 kind of shit on us. I was like, yeah, they're different. I was like, on maps like Karachi and shit,
Starting point is 00:33:51 I was like, I have no, they're so, they know where to go. Like I have my spot. And besides that, it's like, I don't really know what to do. But like, they were just room. moving mid-map, stunning and then rushing and like just doing shit. I've never, I died by an aide off rip, which I've never even seen get thrown at me.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Like they were just, I was like, dude, these guys might actually be different. This is why they came from, you know, they were one and six made, dropped their worst player for their best player and then never dropped the series again. It was, they dropped their worst player. What's that mean? They dropped phase blaze for rated, who's like an S&D star. And I think used to be pro. Wait, which rated? Rated. No, he's nice.
Starting point is 00:34:31 He plays like S&D. Like the former pro. He plays war zone now. Also still plays competitive. He played for a red reserve for a while. But they were one and six. Not my not Rated. Not Optic Rated.
Starting point is 00:34:42 Okay. They were one in six. They were one in six map count dropped phase blaze for rated and then didn't every day. Didn't drop a fucking series after that. I believe it. And I was like, dude, these kids like don't deserve to be here. Like for the such a last minute change they made and for them to
Starting point is 00:35:00 drop their worst player for literally their best player who was carrying them. That was the only thing I felt bad for the other teams. That's why after the tournament, like I wasn't talking shit. I mean, they just did, oh, we can pick up rated. That perfect. Like, I'm not like talking shit about them, but it was just like so unfair. And like, even after we won, I was like, how the fuck am I playing against four people who grind S&D every single day?
Starting point is 00:35:23 And they're like, dude, you just won. Like, you don't have to talk about that. But I like, I don't know. It kind of pissed me off. and I like felt bad for the other teams who like stuck together and they never made any sort of trade like that and if they did make a trade
Starting point is 00:35:35 it was just like a shitty for a shitty or like a pro for a pro it was never just some like drop your worst player pick up the best and then the motherfuckers make it to grand finals and should have beat us like off that one I mean we got shaft
Starting point is 00:35:48 I was raised off that one like for every team that lost to them it's just like dude off that one trade that they got to make they literally made it to finals because of that and like that just I don't know I was just like kind of annoyed they allowed that change.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Yeah, the commissioner is a real fucking asshole, isn't he? Yeah, we got to. I played two matches, and then my hip thing happened, and I was just drugged up, but I played against two former pros, and let's just say that if I had that silence, I would have gotten more kills on Zinney. First few weeks were fucking rough,
Starting point is 00:36:22 and then I started figuring out just like where I could go to where, like, they're going to have to push me, so it gives me an advantage. get to kill. I started learning things slowly. That's like the most fun or angering tournament you can play in. Because either like, either you're going crazy and you're winning and you're like, oh my God, I'm dropping 20. I'm the best. Or you're just getting slammed and you're just fuming and you're trying out to like let it be
Starting point is 00:36:43 seen. I definitely understand it from a pro's point of view. Bro, it just once like I always have this misconception. Like before the season, we're talking about challengers and all that. And it's like, oh, we can play for fun and compete. Bro, when I lose, I'm just like the worst person ever. I don't even like losing. just molding. I'll say for our team.
Starting point is 00:37:01 I don't care how fun it is. For charity, I don't care. If I'm losing, I'm just like, fucking. I mean, when we lost a scump, I was so fucking mad. But, like, I can imagine when you're a good player and you have to have, like, a shitter on your team, and you're just like, fucking Christ. Like, you know right when you die, we lost. Well, Seth's team?
Starting point is 00:37:19 Seth? Nate. Naid. Dropped. Dropped? And Daltush. Daltush. They were decent.
Starting point is 00:37:25 No, they were decent. Drop with a sniper, have me fuming. That guy. Nade. Shot dropping 17 or me. He's one of the best apex players in the world. I was on, like I play with Nate every day. And like when I'll die and see him doing something,
Starting point is 00:37:39 I just won't say anything because it's Nate, I don't get fuck. When I add like study and Nameless it, shit, though, my screen will be black and then it'll come back and I see Nate in the back of the spawn. And then I'll hear Jay say, oh, what the heck? Speed it up, huh? It's so funny, bro.
Starting point is 00:37:57 It's so funny. I love that shit. He'd be like, oh, you got shit, I'm all right, it's all good. See, bro.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Does Matt get mad? Are you laughing? Yeah, he'll be like, don't do me like that, Mark. Don't do me like that. You're so funny.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Oh, man. If I had that the tournament, I would have played so bad. That's actually, that's a funny-ass squad. Oh, my God. I think one thing good about our team,
Starting point is 00:38:21 which helped us win, was that none of our, like, there was never an awkward moment of just, like watching Mike P do nothing and then just be like fuck or like our pro never died and me like or like side at us or like like we kind of just let each other do our thing and like win or lose like if we got to kill hype him up if he dies all good like we never had any like weird
Starting point is 00:38:47 tension or there wasn't any like silence or like I think we all like kind of believe like hey we could fucking we could go so dude I saw everybody fucking Pam still living it up right he changed like if you look at his bio, it's like world champion. If you fucking... He said I've been waiting for this moment my entire life. He's jumping around. I'm finally a call duty champion. Look at that, look at that.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Look at the bike. But like the way we won has to be some of the most... I know it's just just like Gigi's C.S. Whatever, rando fucking tournament with pros and chitters. But like the way we won was fucking nuts. I think it's a great win. We had two reverse sweets. We woke up that day, had two reverse sweeps to make it to like top three or whatever.
Starting point is 00:39:35 And then I don't know. I forget how the schedule went. But like the next day, I think we had another reverse sweep. Game five win. Fucking. And then then we played, what was their fucking team name? Then we played in the finals. And then to just lose series one and then be down 02 in the second series.
Starting point is 00:39:56 finals reset and then to win that and then to bring it to game five and in game five be down five to two and then this still went bro is fucking definitely something to be probably bro it was some i text to the chat i was like something in the universe needed that to happen or something like something really bad was going to happen if we didn't win that that what the fuck i don't know literally i felt like like the universe needed that fucking when it happened we were i don't even think we were like a top four team the other day we were not good sub base or some shit and i dropped like 50 kills in the eight i was like going crazy so i went to go eat and i was
Starting point is 00:40:35 watching the game and literally as i'm watching this i spawn up me and name with both both shoot right at like the last second of the game to like win the game we end up winning and then like i'm watching that and i'm like holy fuck that was some duo vibey shit like only me and him could do that literally as I'm saying that in my mind Nameless text me and goes Yo when we hit left that was some duo shit Damn Yeah
Starting point is 00:40:59 Yeah Whoa Something like that was I don't know what it is Like Something was just Like in that moment We were like connecting
Starting point is 00:41:10 Everything's being connected And it just I don't know It was just crazy We are in a moment of awakening We all are That shit was crazy That's a fact It was so much energy
Starting point is 00:41:18 Just flowing through that whole situation at that moment. I love those moments. Yeah, I mean, that's how I felt playing this shit. I was like, dude, there's something, like, I think we're gonna win. I don't know how.
Starting point is 00:41:33 It didn't sound like it. Something it was to happen. Dude, I was so happy when I saw that. I was like, no fucking way. Immediately I screenshadowed and posted him. I'm like, y'all, this is fucking guy. I texted him. I'm like, y'all, that's fucking crazy.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Because we had just sat here. He was just sitting. I was just looking at him. He was just talking about. about like deflated a little bit about his situation. Well, I mean, I think I was talking about the skump loss as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, dude, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:55 I was so mad about that. But I think I remember saying at the end, like, like, I mean, whatever. Lock in, I'm going to lock in. I'm trying to, I really want to lock in and, like, play good. All right. Well, listen, thank you for telling us. I'm super happy for you. How much 10K each?

And I wonder what it is going to do to the call of duty scene as a stance right now. Right. We have the league starting this fucking weekend. We have the watch party starting this fucking weekend. Like there's so many things that are happening that I'm like,
Starting point is 00:45:36 can this elevate what currently? is happening right now or does it deflate it a little bit? What do you guys think? I mean it's gonna be just like it always is. There's gonna be a bunch of people on it viewers. I'm not sure how long it's gonna last. Depends how good it is realistically. I mean it was good at Codinax. We played it. It was fun. It was similar I think to the last one, but obviously you have the slide cancel now. So you have like some good movement that fixes some of the lackluster moments from the last war zone. didn't play the map that much but remember my one criticism was there was a crazy amount of
Starting point is 00:46:13 AI and the AI was like it was insane like explain that so you go to like these capture points oh let's say you want to get that shit again I fucking hate that shit you're just fighting against a shit ton of AI like there was so much AI we're like you'd be getting it to fights on the map and you would you would know if it's AI or players zombies kill one or whatever like Fortnite so dumb yeah no I don't like the AI
Starting point is 00:46:35 It should be very, very, very limited if you're going to do it. But I think it's good. Obviously, watch party starting up. We have no idea which platform we're on officially yet. That's frustrating because there's been no announcement and we're just sort of, we have our assumptions, but there's no way to actually... We have game plans for both, right? Like, you know, if we're staying on Twitch or if we're going to YouTube,
Starting point is 00:46:56 but it'd be nice to know really what's going on. Wait, so when do they announce that part of it? I mean, they just announced that... They're just going to, like, tweet out their link and that's how everyone finds out. I hope there's a more formal announcement. I don't know. I don't know. Nobody knows.
Starting point is 00:47:09 We reached out and we didn't get any information. So I don't know. I asked somebody here to reach out to them and see what the word is and there's nothing yet. So there's still working. It's like disrespectful, ain't it? Well, listen. We'll know. Like you got scump giving your shit.
Starting point is 00:47:29 I mean, I don't know if you can technically say giving your shit. Like in the back office Like scum's gonna get 100k views First week Is there someone in the back office thinking like that? There's two ways to think of it They're like oh I'm saying on their side
Starting point is 00:47:42 Like I mean We should probably give this guy Update because he's gonna It's either oh scump is giving us This many viewers Or we're giving scump the product For him to have this many viewers I'm not sure which way they think of it
Starting point is 00:47:52 Yeah that's a good point Like if they keep it on Twitch Like I'm not sure if they think of it as like Oh scum's helping us By having all these viewers or oh Our product is What Scum gets to watch Like I'm not sure how they look at
Starting point is 00:48:03 Oh I mean Scum has stream with you guys and me and Nick, Halo, and it's on well. Yeah, no, I agree. You know what I'm saying? So I don't think it's about that. My thing is this, I don't want to be all like, is disrespectful or any of that because we don't know.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Just to like reach out. But if they come back, listen, if the day of they say it's on Twitch or you can stream on Twitch, then everyone's like, hell yeah. You know what? You guys tried with us. That's why we didn't get an update because we were fighting until the very end, fine. But if at the very end, they're like, that's going to be bad. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:48:35 I don't think it's a very end thing, though. I mean, guys, it's, it's, it's, the writing's on the wall. It'll work out regardless. I mean, yeah, but, I don't know. The way that, waiter finder's been looking and shit. It's looking scarce around. The way, really? What are people playing?
Starting point is 00:48:55 What, is dead already? Pretty dead. Yeah? I mean, like, two and threes are like, all right. I believe it. We need some, we need some new maps, too. I'm not sure. Like, I feel like you can only.
Starting point is 00:49:06 we talked about it like when the game first came out. Everyone's back playing it's not like yeah like nostalgia only goes so far so it's like we kind of need that new it's a good game it's a fucking good game it's a fucking good game I just think some of the maps like like skid row hard point cool skid row S&D kind of annoying like there's maps where terminal skid row um I don't know where like you're on offense on terminal you're not going to win by sitting around which was skid row oh yeah yeah like you're not going to win terminal S&D offense by just not hitting nothing by just waiting and seeing if you can pick someone. There's just some of the maps that are like really fucking hard to play
Starting point is 00:49:40 if you're not playing it right, but maybe the new maps. I actually kind of, I actually, nothing that I think about it, I do think Warzone dropping Wednesday and us starting Friday is a kind of good thing because there's going to be so many eyes on Call of Duty in general. And a lot of those Warzone guys, Symphony, like those guys love CDL, like symphonies and the CDL-8s every single day playing. So I hope there's some good crossover. Yeah, Symphony every single day's in the old man-eight.
Starting point is 00:50:03 fucking nasty. He's good. Shit he could do with a keyboard and mouse. Yeah, he's good. It's actually annoying. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:50:09 Yeah. The motherfucker's moving like he has a controller, bro. Like, sliding through doors, killing people. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:50:17 the fuck did he just do that? Wait, trying to calculate. He's like, what? That's crazy. He wasn't nothing for me, but
Starting point is 00:50:25 S&D's a different game. Yeah, Hutch texted me last night. I was already asleep. It was like, it was like 930. I'm kidding. He texted me last night.
Starting point is 00:50:33 He's like, yo, he's like, he's like, he's like, Do you have time on Wednesday to play the fucking Warzone thing? And I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, what I got it? Then I look at my fucking calendar and I'm just, man, I just, man.
Starting point is 00:50:44 I just play video games? You'll play for an hour or two and be like, yeah. No, but no, no, no, but the only reason. No, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, draw. Yeah, you're going to rage quit and then just go fucking do your garage, go spray stuff. No, the only reason why I don't like to play is because I know that I can't allocate enough hours to be good enough to where I enjoy playing or that at least I know I have a
Starting point is 00:51:09 fighting chance of playing when I have to fucking be on phone calls and do all the bullshit that I got to fucking do. So that makes it every time you get on, it's like not even fun. No. It's like when I was only playing a few hours of like Valorant and I was just bad, get on the next day, play a few hours bad, get on the next day, like skip a day and then play on I'm bad. And it was just every day I was just fucking bad and I never got better until I just like, all right,
Starting point is 00:51:34 I'm playing six hours straight today. Then I get home and I'm going to play like an hour. And then I started getting better and then it started becoming fun. Exactly. And then I got to a point where I was like, all right, I'm actually decent now and then I just started pissing me off. I mean, I was getting pissed off whenever I was bad,
Starting point is 00:51:48 but then I got decent and then I was getting pissed off maybe even more. Just because I was like these fucking nobs. They think they're fucking good. I just know they're such average gamers and I'm dying to them. Same shit would happen in Warzone. Maybe I'll play Warzone. Look, I don't care about I just want to fucking
Starting point is 00:52:07 I need to play But I just can't play like for three hours I need to be on for four or five Every day in order to fucking Truly enjoy the game As much as I want to Without the fucking headache of knowing that I'm like Okay tomorrow I can't play because I got a phone calls until five
Starting point is 00:52:20 Or whatever And then by that time I'm just so checked Anyway Tell me the truth If you guys know the truth Did sniping get G8 Is it official? Yes
Starting point is 00:52:31 Anything? Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, yeah, definitely. Snapping is G8, snake can he's G8. Do you even an S&D?
Starting point is 00:52:37 Oh, let's talk. Turnies or whatever. It's... What do you think? Why? Why the sniper? It's too easy. It is, in this game, especially with these maps, it is like, so easy.
Starting point is 00:52:45 The snipers are really good in this game. And if you actually think about the maps like terminal, like, terminal. Like, think about what a sniper could do on a map like terminal. Like, he could just... Yeah, dominate. Like, on defense, you can't play a power spot. But there's another sniper across the way that they can counter that. Then it's a 1v1 sniper.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Whoever wins that gets map control. The rounds over. Like, I don't know. Kniping, the pros play it more than that. You can only use one, wait, can you even use one smoke? One smoke per team, but those trophies too, so it could get destroyed. A good sniper can just literally go insane. Like, I'm thinking of players like Simp and, like, we played against DROP in the tournament,
Starting point is 00:53:18 and dropped was not missing. And obviously he's a pro Apex player, but I'm like, if this guy's not missing, imagine when fucking simps in the back of the map with a sniper. It's not going to miss. Like, it's that good. That being said, it's like a weird one where I think, I'm not sure it'll probably be re-evaluated
Starting point is 00:53:35 because I feel like the community love snipers but right now I feel like it's just so Yeah from a spectator So overpowered Spectator point of view I like snimes
Starting point is 00:53:43 Every time Run around with the pistol too Every time I see The sniper get banned What? We're planning it's phase scope He's running around Using it like an SMG
Starting point is 00:53:51 I did I was like trying to run it Like phase scope and dirty in them No scope to the head Like three different times I'm like what the fuck No he's different
Starting point is 00:53:59 Scope is different But I look every single time that gets banned, I think to myself, I'm like, man, all that work I put in early on. You know what I'm saying? Like, call of duty, think about it. Think about all the fucking work we did. Fucking snipers, the most popular fucking weapon, they fucking put fucking Call of Duty on the mega map. Yeah, that's true. And we just take it out?
Starting point is 00:54:22 You just take it out? For whose entertainment? Not for the audience. The audience wants it in. It is kind of cheese, though. I don't give a fuck. Playing in all these S&Es and fucking just knowing there was a sniper. So, like both the tournaments.
Starting point is 00:54:36 So good. So good. 4 v4, 5, 5, e 5. Get up on a sniper on your team, that's it. No, but you're just, I was scared than that. Think about the science behind what you're looking at. And then Mike's heavier than the top heavier than the bottom. You see, you see why it extends like your foot.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Okay. Does your foot face this way? Does your foot face it? There you go. It's Christ. No, but I was like terrified against the snipers. We were planning against drop. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:55:00 I do it. If I run into this guy's sniper, I'm just, dude, I was raging. Just in the back of the map, like, this guy's on our team and I'm just molding.
Starting point is 00:55:07 I'm just like, the thing is they're so useless without the snipe. Some players, like the newer players, like a dropped or Huskers or some players, there's three-lane maps.
Starting point is 00:55:19 All they could do is snipe. Yeah, but there are three-lane maps. You picked the wrong lanes and your heads off. Yeah, yeah. There's the round. No lie.
Starting point is 00:55:26 There's the round. Like, he's just aiming at bottom mid-door in Skid Row, the whole round. Why not? Someone comes through, you're instantly dead. Like, there's no...
Starting point is 00:55:33 I'm glad Snaken's gone, though. I'm glad they G8 Snaking. That was... You saw the update little thing they were... I saw a test getting tested? I didn't see. What's his name? Lunchtime shit?
Starting point is 00:55:42 They did a snake patch where you could only come up a certain amount of times. That'd be good. Because ideally... Snakings. Ideally, it is fiction from the developer side.
Starting point is 00:55:50 It is... I think it is a way better fix from the dev side than having players all agree to not do it because you do it accidentally one player fires up and feels like they've been slighted or they lost money because of it and then he starts snaking
Starting point is 00:56:03 advocate here yeah everybody can snake it it's so bad but what why was it imagine imagine that's a hard point invasion at the top and okay well that's a fucking and you have to kill set no no no i know but but that's invasion is like a very specific map terminal eskis bro i'm telling you like you can't see these guys at all yeah you can't see their head it's bad like i get it Both teams can snake. I get it both teams can snake, but in like certain, if you're holding something, it's the person has to push you. He can't snake is late to you.
Starting point is 00:56:40 I get it, but you could have been in that position to snake. 15 seconds left. The bomb's here and there's a guy at that desk. I got to take the risk of me now having to shoot at him, run up, time it while he's snaking it rather than I know where he is. Just if he's going to lay down, I'll just run and kill him. And like back in the day, you just fucking slide or just. jump out and if like you beam someone off
Starting point is 00:57:01 a he's like oh he just fucking like that was a thing now that's not a thing anymore I also feel like you're underestimating how bad the snake is in this game right out because it's like I'm talking like you can't even get shots on people like from the start of the round everybody's doing it in every different
Starting point is 00:57:17 power spot where it's like legitimately it's not fun to watch or play but it's good it's not fun to watch either the player argument was always like you know if if I get snaked I'm going to snake back but it's like we always had the agreement growing up like there were snake in our games we disagreed to not be losers and not abuse them like mw3 like the snake used to be crazy we disagreed like
Starting point is 00:57:40 it ruined like it ruins the game um because if you think about it like getting pop-up glitched is different than snaking snake is like going up and down whatever pop up is just a lead but in even if you pop up i probably have you a week so i'm probably going to kill you anyway like if you feel the need to pop up i'm still more likely to kill you because i have you a week i know exactly where you are like you're not repeatedly snaking up and down. So hopefully the GA sticks or even more hopefully the devs fix the actual issue,
Starting point is 00:58:07 which would be better. Yeah, because even with the GA, I feel like it's so ingrained to their, just the way they play. It's like they see you, though, just, it's like, they don't even think about it anymore. It's just like, it's going to be hard
Starting point is 00:58:24 to, like, keep that GA promise and, like, not accidentally do it. I don't know. People are going to die just by, like, holding an iron. And he could have been like, fuck, like, he's, like, overthinking in his head. Like, I could have just crouched pop back up. And it's like, is that snaking? It's like, can I do it once?
Starting point is 00:58:45 Or like, what? So, I don't know. So it's official that is she aid? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't know. People are getting blacklisted of shit for using it. And then sell you, look, sometimes I'm on, sometimes I'll watch.
Starting point is 00:58:59 A rat bastard. The blacklist You walked up all giddy Oh, Nate, guess who that is It's methods No, it's not You a rat bastard He tried to get us G8 to remember
Starting point is 00:59:11 Yeah, no, oh yeah Of course I remember And he forgot the Skype shows the log I'm just reading the confit I'm like, what the fuck Is that fatty? All right, ladies and gentlemen That is got to do it
