Hey, everybody, welcome to the snark tank, where the topics aren't really all that important, and I haven't slept in a long time. I'm Chris Raygun, and, uh,

And I'm here with Tom Sweeney. Hey, what's going on? I'm Sweeney Thomas. I'm here. Let's talk. And Derek, some black guy. Yeah, that's my name. That's my God-given birth name.

Yeah. God. I have to explain constantly. All the time, dude. Constantly your name. Yeah. It's like, is that intentional? No.

You asshole? I didn't think that was going to happen. I, my or. The origin of the name was just, it was, it was fucking a stupid Micepace thing. I was 16 years old. You know, I just, some black guy was the username and then somebody, one of my friends found it funny. And so I just like, okay, I'll just use that.

I didn't know it was actually going to become a problem where some people have legitimately drew a little bit of ire from people from being like, how dare, why would you say that about someone? Some black guy. He's like, see, because it would be like, I would have to be, it would be, there would be an assumption by me that I thought that I was actually going to gain an audience or something. I didn't fucking think that was going to happen. That is a fair point.

That would be fairly narcissistic of you to assume. Yeah. Yeah, that's a little future site that you didn't have, I'm pretty sure. So, for those of you who might be returning, this is obviously a podcast that exists already, but those of you who follow this probably know that it hasn't been all that consistent at all. So what we've decided to do here, and a lot of it is because getting guests is so inconceivably difficult and hard to

plan because everybody's just ran like we had like so many people just kind of fall through it's like oh it's better if we do it this day and then I'm like yeah and then that day comes and it's like I don't feel like doing it anymore so it's like it's a lot easier I think because I know you guys want to see more of this that I thought it would just be easier if we got like you know what

let's just do me Swinard and derok the rock got us all into a room and just did this consecutively weekly on a weekly basis so that way you have something to listen to that's vaguely reliable in some sense in some manner. That's weird because you're so not used to that. Well you kind of are

now with your other podcast. Yeah. So that is like it's it is still somewhat of a miracle right? If I wasn't doing sacred symbols already this would probably not happen because that would seem like just a lot of work and it probably still is. Talking to people absolutely negative. Well just scheduling

a time you know like scheduling like D&D D or anything. It's like a nightmare. Oh, God, fuck. It's the worst shit ever. It's the worst. As you guys may know, Dungeons and Dragons is like my fucking favorite game. I know it's not like a fucking gaping penis. But it's like my favorite game and getting people to sit down

for like four hours. Being adults, that shit is like gruesome. Yeah, it's hard. And it's especially hard to get someone who is just like a guest to just sit down for an hour on some random day to record consistently. Luckily, we got Jakey and freaking Alex. Like,

Yeah, we got some good. I think we got Zach for the first one. I think we got some pretty good line on. And I'm sure we'll have people in the future on random occasions. But just so you guys get more shit, I feel like this is probably the best way to go forward. And also, if you're listening to this right now, we recorded this back in December. It is currently 2020 if you're listening to this. Yeah.

Which is disgusting. Happy New Year, motherfuckers. That is the future year. That's the year that sounds fake every time I hear it. But that is, you know, that's a thing. by now we should have probably opened up a Patreon which I think what we're planning to do is just have a $1 tier

and you just kind of if you want to support the podcast you just put a dollar in and then it gives you an option to then write into the show and actually have your comments and concerns and all that shit thrown at the end of an episode I feel like that's fairly cheap and fairly reasonable I think we should also have a $1,000 tier for not for just like

we will say your name and like I'll say thank you or some shit We'll write a Sweeney will freestyle entirely for you If you donate a thousand dollars I actually would do that for you guys That will not happen by the way I have a little bit of rap talent

It's not good It'll be a lot of plagiarism But I'll try I'll put something together for you Someone's gonna do that Someone is gonna do that I know it It's gonna be like fuck

Let me get my pen and paper out So that's basically the plan going forward It is still the same Star Tank I think Still kind of haphazes We're going to, it's haphazardly pace. We're going to have some kind of topic to tie everything together, but it's mainly just going to be a hot load of bullshit.

Yeah, it's going to be us again together. Yeah, so with all that housekeeping done, the topic today was Game of the Decade, which was kind of like a big question, I know. It hurts. There's a pretty big list of shit that I think everybody loves. So much. Yeah.

I put out my game, like, I put out my game today. Like, I put out my list of it. It's not my game. My list of games. And it was so expansive because I know I forgot so many of them. Of course. There's so many games I know that I played. I'm like, oh, my God, this game was fantastic.

Let's see if we can somehow coherently talk about this last 10 years, the most explosive year of video games. It's been pretty fucking wild. But I'm curious. I'm curious. I want to hear Chrissy Ray Gunnies. Crispy. Crispy Rayguny.

What is your, what is your, what is your, number one dude like there's so many fucking choices yeah there's a lot man this this decade started with like Mass Effect 2 and shit which is like weird to think about see that's so old and Mass Effect 2 is so good yeah but like I shouldn't play Mass Effect 2 you're insane wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait here we go

wait okay we're no we will return to that because I I really I'm I I don't like that you said that at all he's getting really upset at me and I just didn't play it's visibly shaking. I saw like a little. Like I can see it as I can see him just like crying inside but also choking. I saw steam

burst from his ears. You know how there's like those Jehovah's Witnesses and stuff that like come to your like I wouldn't mind doing that for Mass Effect like knocking on people's doors. I've been like hey you need to fucking play this and if you don't you're stupid and you're wasting your life like this is your God now.

I don't have a choice. It's out it's out we have it on Xbox I'll play it I promise. Jesus Christ I will play it. We're gonna come back to that because that kind of pissed me off to be Okay, I'm still, calm, calm down. I saw people saying like the decade doesn't start until, uh, what is it, 2021. That's a fucking idiot. That's a idiot.

That's a, I'm like, you fucking die. Shut the fuck up. The decade starts when the, when the number changes. When there's a, right, when it's literally when it's a number after a number, it's like, oh, wait, that is a decade. The 2010. Yes, the 2010 starts in 2010. Yes. It doesn't start in 2011, you fuck.

I hate that. Whoever said that, I know where you are and I'll find you. Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like how that goes, but, all right, what is, what is, because you mentioned Mass Effect, too, which is, I think that's, it has, I think it has to be mine, but, what do you got? I have an idea. There's a lot of shit that came out that I played incessantly. Yeah. I thought about Breath of the Wild.

I thought about it. And then I was like, I really liked that game, but I didn't really, I didn't finish it. So I don't know if I can really call it. No, no. I don't think so. I thought about Portal 2, which is pretty seminal. Oh, my fucking God, that game came out this decade? Yeah, that was 2011.

Holy fucking shit. All right, well, I gotta make another list. I'm making another list. That's what I'm saying. There's so much great shit. Even just this year and last year. Last year was crazy. These last two years have been fucking packed.

Heavy, heavy shit, dude. God of War was huge, I thought. Red Dead Red Dead Red Dead Redemption 2 is probably, honestly, if I'm going narratively, it's probably like easily. Undoubtedly. Dude, think about how it changed. You just, just when you walk through the door, within the first minute, there was, sure, what uttered. Of course.

That game. It changed people's vocabulary. Like, that's pretty fucking crazy. I, I, that game, I could just, I can literally turn on that game and just have a fucking great time, even after the story. Because of the story, I remember happening in that world. It's just, that story is so good. It's unlike, it's unlike any other video games to ever experience in my life.

It is truly fantastic. It's unreasonably good. Yeah. And I know we had Nakey Jakey on one of the last episodes, and he has like a great video actually like kind of laying into it, criticizing a lot of the stuff that doesn't really work about it. And I agree with a lot of those criticisms, but like even those withstanding, like just the story in that game is just impeccably great.

Yeah, like it's as a narrative. As of as a, it's like a movie. It's like a fucking show. It's like watching Game of Thrones or some show like that. It's like every week. Like every time I turn on game was like, what the fuck is going to happen now? I felt like I watched an entire. great series

when I finished that game. There's a moment in, if I'm sorry, spoilers alert, I don't really care if you guys haven't played it by now. If you haven't played by now, go suck your mother, whatever. But like literally, there's a moment where you end up

by Cuba in that game and it's fucking dope. This is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush. Check out this special moment we did on our show presented by eBay.

When I was living in Chicago, I took part in my first ever giant charity sale and I was able to auction several items from my personal closet on eBay. They were items that marked huge moments in my life and in my career. And though I was ready to pass them along, I also wanted to make sure they were going to someone who would love them. One of the things I loved the most about doing this with eBay is there was a way for everyone to shop.

It wound up being so much fun to see where each and every item was going, where it was going and be loved. And in passing items along like that, authenticity really matters to the person who's getting them. That's why I love eBay's authenticity guarantee. They weren't just listing my items. They were verifying them, making sure something was genuinely from where it claimed to be, in this case, my closet. To listen to more, check out the full episode wherever you get your podcasts.

You're like this is ridiculous And then when you get back Some wild shit happens Immediately you're like One of my favorite things about the game Is that there's a lot of like moments That are framed as if it's like Like a camera guy did it

Even though it's just you walking Like when you're all walking up to the mansion To burn it down That shot is so good. It's beautiful. They don't, I don't think, if I recall correctly, I don't think they force that camera shot on you. I think that just is naturally what happens every time you walk up.

Is that when you're going to get the little kid, right? You're going to get your son back, right? Yeah, when you go to get John's son. John's son. That shit was insane, dude. That is the best. I'll never forget. I actually, I've talked about that. Every time I bring up that game,

and I'm scoring through my phone or not because I have it in my favorites. I just want to make sure I don't have any other weird shit on here. But like. It's everyone's favorites, man. Don't feel, don't feel, don't feel judged. Everyone has some weird shit. It's like one of those things, because there's all these other pictures of me,

just piles of bodies of, like, cops and shit on that game. Like, there's, there's a, there's a, there's a,

there's a, there's a, there's a, on, standing on top of the bodies. Of all the cops. He's like, on,

like, he's just ready to try to kill you and he's using the, the piles of other cops as a, as a, as a, as a, as a, as a, as a,

as a, as a, as a, that game, man, so much of my life and heart when I was playing it. It was like Jesus Christ. It was a big one.

But I think like for me, yeah, for you. For me as like a decade thing, I think even with all of my frustrations with it, it has to be destiny. Oh, no shit. I think so. I would not expect that at all.

I have so many problems with it. And I had so many problems with it for so long. I remember I was looking forward to that game since literally 2009. I remember. Like when it was teased in like, some Easter egg in Halo 3 ODSC, I was like, what does that mean? And I was like, looking for I was obsessed about it. I preordered it before it was even like remotely announced.

I remember when I first met you, it came out just after I met you, Destiny 1. And I remember I first met you and we were talking, you were like, I have to get it. And it was so, it was like, it was like an instinctual thing. Like, I just have to get it. Yeah. I just have to. And you were like, I don't really know much. We literally watched the trailer for it finally when it came out together.

And it first showed like, I think it was the fallen, but like the first group of enemies I think they showed. We were there. I was, I have this E3 thing where I like just gather a bunch of friends over for E3 and just we just like eat a bunch of snacks and like drink a bunch of garbage and then just watch E3. And I remember it was the first trailer for the first gameplay trailer for Destiny, you were there. And they showed a public event. Yes, I remember. It was the spider tanks coming down and like a bunch of people converging and like some Titan landing out of a ship. And I literally power slid on my knees because I was like, this is sick. I love it. Like I literally power slid across my ship. And I was, I literally power slid across my ship. I was. I literally power slid across my ship. I was. I literally. I was like, I literally. I was like, I was like, I was like, I was living room because I was just so excited about it and it came out and I was like this is fun as shit but also where's the fucking game? Yeah. Where's the story? What happened? And obviously there's a bunch of like crazy drama going on

that went on with Bungy during that time and like I remember just being like oh man I'm so disappointed but at the same time I'm like having so much fun and I'm reconnecting with all these friends that I haven't talked to in so long and it was just like it became this kind of touchstone I think for that year 2014 specifically and all the years that I spent

just anticipating it. And, you know, like, mediocre expansion, mediocre expansion, great expansion, and then Destiny 2, and it's the same exact thing where it's like, where it's like, where's the rest of the game.

And now it's just in a place where it's just like, we play consistently, like all the time. It's like our house game, literally. Like that and Smash Bros. The games we play in this house. Yeah, it's Destiny and Smash Brothers when you, and when you, like,

that's an insane. That's an insane, but those games have, but you both have the same lore where it's just like, it's not lore, a lore where it just brings you to play together. Yeah. Every, like...

And the thing about it is, like, it's such a daunting game. Like, every time I put down Destiny and I think about picking it back up again, I'm always like, what changed? What's... You know, it's one of those, because it's a live service shooter. But, like, I think it just plays so well, and I've just... I've spent so much time in it, and I have, like... I got to the point where I was, like, buying the lore books, because I was like...

I was like, all right, I'm interested now for some fucking reason. That's, like, a different part of it. like that. See, and it's great. That's what I, that's, that's one of my favorite thing,

if, if they can do it well, uh, because there's so many things that I really do. I appreciate the game player, the, the artistic direction. It's like from software where I got so balls deep into their

franchises that and all their IPs that I had to just, there's channels dedicated to, to their lore. Like multi videos? Yeah. I fucking love that guy, dude. And I just can't like,

I'm like, this is, this is fucking great. My first criticism was, I'm like, fuck, I wish I knew something about this. And then when they actually, they had stuff, I was like, okay, I don't need shit. I'm cool with this.

And so I get that, Destiny, in that sense, because there's a lot of times that I don't like just mindless shit. I need things behind it. And to really, for me to really get into characters. And I think that's one of the reasons I didn't even know that there was so much lore behind Destiny. Gargantuan, dude. It's an insane.

And it's, like, actually, like, kind of brilliant. Like, there's a lot of brilliant shit in there. Like, even when the game was, like, launching and it was like porous shit and like the campaign was like barely there like they were like grim war cards that were like just lore things that you would unlock and they were just like they had all these like really well written story and was like wow I wish that was

in the game it was so sad but but it really does kind of just like when you know that shit it really does heighten the rest of the game it sucks it insane it sucks in some ways because like if you don't know that shit it's just a really good shooter yeah but like I don't I know, man. I felt weird picking destiny, but at the same time, it's like, I don't know if I can really, I don't think I can pick anything else.

Like, so you think that was the most impactful game of your 2010s? I think so. Yeah? Yeah. Because I spent like the first half looking forward to it. Okay. And then the middle. Hey, it's Jay Shetty from On Purpose.

Check out the best of a moment we did presented by eBay. Music has always been one of my teachers. There was a vinyl record I used to play during a quiet, very formative season of my life. Late nights, no distractions, just me, the music and my thoughts. Over time, life changed, schedules filled up, and somewhere along the way, that record disappeared. I didn't notice right away, but I felt the absence of what it represented. So I searched for that same vinyl, same version, the same cover, and I found it on eBay. When it arrived, I couldn't wait to listen.

And when I finally did, the music was the same, but I wasn't. I heard it differently. I understood it differently. And that's when it really hit me. Objects can evolve us. They can remind us of practices we want to return to, of values we don't want to lose, of versions of ourselves that still matter.

That's what I love about eBay. It's not just about buying things. It's also a place where you can let go of items that are no longer serving you or that you no longer need. You can give items a new life, a new story with someone else. To listen to more, check out the full episode wherever you get your podcasts. Visit eBay.com to shop your favorite finds.

Take delivery by 331. The middle part kind of disappointed with it, but still constantly playing it. And now at the end, it's just in a good spot, and everybody in the house plays it. It's an offense. As a game right now, it's fantastic. Yeah. The second they did cross-save. The second they, Bungi split from Activision,

And suddenly all of these user-friendly features were just suddenly in the game. It's like, wow, I wonder why that. I wonder why that happened. The second that happened, I was like, all right, I'm back in. And we all got it. I literally owned that game on three separate platforms. Like, I bought it three times. Yeah, that's a sign.

And, like, okay, this is a problem for me now. Yeah. Because this is like not close to a problem. But now I can just, like, go. I can bring my character from PC to Xbox to PlayStation, and it's, the same thing. I don't have to fucking wait for anything to sink or anything. It's perfect. And I'm like, this is such a nice experience now. Whereas before it was like super tedious. I feel yeah. Yeah. All right, Swinard. What you got, man. Okay, well, first one is going to have to go up.

It's, it's like three separate ones that I can't, like, can't like choose between them. Actually, maybe even four. You got to go hard on one. You got to go three. You got to three max and then we'll, we'll put him in a Thunderdome. Thung Dome and see what happened. Oh, shit. Okay. So the first one is going to have to be, and I just tweeted about it because I didn't know, Pokemon, heart gold, and soul, sober. That was this.

So what happened is it came out. It came out in Japan in 2009, but the American release was 2010. Oh, okay. So just barely made it. Just barely made it. That game, that game was such a love letter to me as a fan, as a fan of Pokemon, because, like, it had everything I needed. It was my favorite generation.

It was like, it was my favorite generation It was at the point where I still, like, I was like, still had my love for anime and I was like, I could definitely sit down and go through this whole thing. You finally got to have the Pokemon, the Pokemon, which meant a lot to me as a person. I was like, I just, I finally could see myself walk around with my Pokemon, I really, and then like,

competitively was fantastic. It had so many, it was memorable. You could play that game competitively? I played it competitively a little bit. I got into it a little bit like on Pokemon Showdown. I was like, this is kind of cool, but like I can't, I just can't devote the time and travel. for this game. It's not really

people of doing that. I'm like still in high school. Yeah, no, you can't fucking travel. Gotcha. And then like, after that, I'm going to have to give it to Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. That game, that game was like Nintendo throwing a Hail Mary. They were, the Wii was ass, dude. I got the Wii and I was so disappointed. The Wii was terrible.

It had such a good virtual console, though. That shit was fired. Like the games you could download onto there. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, I was like, yo, this is just ass, man. Like, this game is just not,

this console's not doing it for me, you know? Like, and then, Breath of the Wild came out on the Switch, and I was just taken back by how much you could just enjoy playing that game. And how I feel like that game was this for the older fans. It made me really, really happy. And I can play that game now for hours without, like,

I'm like, I'm like, I'm like 90% of the game done. Like, I have, like, maybe like 24 more seeds to find than I'm done with it. I'd finish every strine. played it for like at least 300 hours. Yeah. Brother of the while was pretty great. I remember when it came out,

I was pretty keen on it. I was jarred. I was like, I can't believe it. Let me tell you. I haven't owned a legitimate Nintendo. I was handed an SP advance or whatever. I was handed one.

Someone gave it to me. Cool. I haven't purchased anything since the S&ES. I was never like, I liked a lot of Nintendo stuff, but I would always go to people's houses to play their show. For sure. That's what it is.

Yeah. But day one, I bought a switch just to play Breath of the Wild. Like, that to me is, you know, that's because I usually don't give a phone. I don't get, smash, I'll play it when I'm at somebody's house. I'm ass at smash because I never practice. I don't know shit about it. So I was like, oh, I'm definitely going to play this. And you know what?

Props to Nintendo. And you know what? Nobody asked, this is a crazy thing. No one asked for Link's Awakening other than like me and like two other people. Yeah, like the old heads of game boys. I never played that game. That's my favorite. And I played the new one.

It's so good. favorite Zelda. I tell people this is the best, like it's the most underrated one one's ever played. It has the best fucking story. It's dope, dude. That game is fire.

No one asked for it. I never saw anyone like, man, they really need to fucking remake Links Awakening. I was just like, you know, I'm like, I'm not gonna say anything.

And then, oh, hey, we did it. And so like, Nintendo's killing it. Props of them, dude. Props of fucking Breath of the Wild. Their IPs. They're doing really good on their idea.

Hell yeah. That's the, it was a launch title, right? Yes, it was insane. That's probably the best launch title of this decade. 100% I can't think of another one That is nearly as good at that

Not even close Like none of them are even like It's laughable It's like you can't Yeah like what do the Wii you launch with Wee zombies Pretty sure Wee

Wee Zombie you Some stupid shit Some fucking dumb I'm such a Nintendo fan But that console made me so upset It made me grumbled on myself I feel like they stumbled

consistently after the DS Yeah I feel like they had a good idea there The DS was cool And I played that's how I first played Super Mario 64 Was on the DS because I never actually owned a 64 until I think I bought one in 2012 for like

40 bucks. I wanted to catch up on all the shit that I never played. That's a great console too. But 64, 64 on the DS was great. So good. I always had an analog. It was my only problem with it.

I wish I had an analog. It would have made it vastly better. But like, it just wasn't there yet. That wasn't the thing yet for the portals. But then like they went with the Wii and I kind of hated the way. Everything about the Wii I really despised. It wasn't for me.

I like no more heroes. That's about it. I like don't know who he had. It's like, no more heroes, no more heroes. It even has like the weakest smash, probably. Yeah, bra is the fucking worst. Or is Four the worst. No, Bra was the worst.

Four was like on its way back to being good. They were like, all right, we saw, you just like, the guys didn't like about bra. I wanted to fix it. And then All Summit came on. It was just like, yo, this is like amazing. Yeah, Ultimate's really good. I say that as somebody who just kind of hates it.

Every time we play, it gets infuriated, but like, we always still play. No matter, like, there's been times. It's like, it's like 10 p.m. We're like, all right, guys, I got to go to school or work tomorrow. Because, like, yeah, I got to be up early. I got some editing shit. Other roommate, Jalen's like, oh, I got to go to bed.

And we're all like, all like, all right, it's almost time. One more game. And then we look at our watches and it's like fucking 1 a.m. And we're still playing that game. We can play that game for literally hours. And that's not going to be my number three. My number three is actually going to be Dark Souls 3. That's three.

Dark Souls 3. Dark Souls 3 was. was absurd. I was not ready for that game to be the way it was. Okay. It like, it took, it took what Bloodborn was doing, and it just put it in Dark Souls, like, the best possible way. Because you're not, like, super fast if you are in Bloodborn,

but you're way quicker than you could have been in any other Dark Souls game. So it's coming from Dark Souls 2. Dark Souls 2 was dope, but, like, 3 is the whole other animal. And I fucking love that game. Well, Sue is the contentious one. People don't like that one. It's not bad. It was, I mean,

Miyamoto, right? He wasn't, he wasn't a part of it. So there was a lot of different. Miyamoto. Yeah, not Miyamoto. What's his, Oh, not Miyamoto.

Oh, my fucking God. The head of, Yeah, I know his name. I just fucking did a thing. I've been, there's too much Japanese shit right in my head. Excuse my racism. Okay, yeah.

Forgive, forgive, Derek. He's having a moment. He was never going to hear the end of it. If he didn't mention it. If he didn't say, it would have been like, Like, let's not be a moyo. Hold on. Let me, let me, let me correct this.

Let's see. The game is dope. Yeah. Darky Solzy. And then Destiny is also the other one. I fell in love with that game franchise in like a lot. Miyazaki. I don't know.

I'll say Miyamoto. Yeah, and there's another, and there's like another world renowned famous Miyazaki too. So it's like. Yeah. So that was my bad. But I know he wasn't around for DS2. And then so there was different chains. There was changes that I fucking hated in that game too.

Yeah. There was definitely, and it was also, I will say that if you really wanted to, if you just got like an ultimate great sword, like that cloud strife thing. Yeah. You just killed everything. It was, I did mauled everything. So it was, there was balances and things, but everyone I think agrees unanimously that the PVP was good. Yeah, it was.

It was dope. The way you could use magic and PVP in Dark Souls 2 was really, really cool because it was like viable. And you could like, it wasn't as about having such like ridiculous like the buckler. in Dark Souls 3 was this like way too fucking good because you got to parry early with it and I was just like what the it's like

it's like competitive Dark Souls bullshit Chris you'll never you'll never understand yeah I can't it's like dark so of the from software games Dark Souls is like literally probably my least yeah at least like it's too like the early one specifically maybe three I could probably

actually play three is but like one is it's so clunky that it just pisses me off when I play it I hate that like my sword hits the fucking walls but nobody else's sword hits the walls it's like oh cool that's sick it's really cool I love

I love that I still love it though I still I still love the I love demon souls I love dark souls one two I even I like it I don't love it Bloodborn is fucking wild that that game Bloodborn's good that game gave me nightmares I had a lot of desire I had no desire to finish Bloodborn but I

really liked it I like the changeable weapon shit like that was so dope yeah that was something like I wasn't ready for I think that's a lot of people's like game of the I think Bloodborn. From what, like, from the way that I see people talk about Bloodborn, they talk about in a way that they need to mention it to make sure everyone in every single crevice of the earth is aware of Dark Souls and how great, I mean, Bloodborn and how great it is.

It is. I see people talk about that. And me, someone that knows it. I'm like, yeah, I get it. I get it. But I know they're probably talking to other people that may have missed out. Like, I see people talk about that way. And I was like, that's interesting.

I don't usually see that. I don't usually see people talking about games in that way. They're just like, oh, this is fucking dope. But they're like, you need to get this. Or hell, even me at one point, I quote tweeted a cheap-ass games. I'm like, hey, it's fucking like $15 for the game of the year or whatever. Yeah. My best time to try it.

It is. It's a fucking dope-ass game. Yeah. I'll be honest, though. I hate that as a PS4 exclusive. I'll be honest about that. It's, it's. I fucking hate that.

Yeah. It's just, I like playing, like, now that, you know, I haven't had a high-end PC for, like, most of my life. Hey, it's Jay Shetty from On Purpose. Check out the best of a moment we did, presented by eBay. I'd never owned a vintage camera before. There was something about it that felt almost unnecessary in a world where everything lives on our phones. But I wanted to change that.

So I started the hunt for a point-and-shoot camera. When I finally found the perfect one on eBay, I didn't keep it to myself, I left it out on a table. Always within reach, people started picking it up without asking, family, friends, everyone to take a photo of what? whatever felt important to them in that moment. There was no editing, no retakes. You took the photo and that was it.

The moment became real right away. It was about choosing something. Deciding this matters, even if it came out blurry, the vintage camera belonged to the room, to the moment, to the people in it. Over time, the photos started to pile up on the fridge, on shelves tucked into books.

Each one a reminder that meaning isn't always planned. That's what I appreciate about eBay. It's a place where you can find things that bring people together and pass along things you no longer need. so they can become part of someone else's memories.

And put stupid shit on the game, because I usually, I love, one thing I love doing mods, I got to make all my characters naked. I just got to do it.

It's like the standard. It's just find the mods to make them naked. And like if there's like something badass, like a badass top hat, but then they're nude. That's the most terrifying kind of enemy, honestly. Like if I was a- A naked top hat wearing fucking anime? If I was a samurai and I'm in the field with a bunch of other warriors fucking full of armor, complete with armor sets.

And this one guy has a top hat on a fucking bow tie and then nothing else. That is the scariest man. You're not going to fuck with him. There are mental things to consider in that point. Like he's the shit. He must be the shit if he has nothing else on. Like, I'm not fucking with that. Stay away from him.

If he's standing on top of a hill and pointing people to directions, like this guy's done something. Stay away from anybody who's naked wearing a top hat is the moral, I think. Because they're a villain. There's a very good quote. There's no heroic person doing that. There's no semblance of a hero in that guy. There's no heroic person that's not trying to hide themselves like that.

If someone is just showing themselves nude with a top hat on, they are danger incarnate. You have to get away from them. They'll hurt you. Good Lord. So wait, how many you said, so you said. Okay, so it was, what was it? Breath of the Wild. Dark Souls 3.

And what? I just fucking said it. Pokemon Heart gold. Heart gold. That was your second one, right? That was my first one. Oh, your first? Oh, no shit.

That was, that was your first one. That game means a lot to me. As a Kingston. As a Kingston. As a Kingston. I think. I get it. I mean, you can't choose.

You can't choose between them? Out of all three of those. If you had to pick, if you had to drag one of a mountain, like bury a shotgun down its throat and pull the trigger. I would grab breath of the wild and I'd be like, I'm sorry, but. Really? That would be the one that I would assume you would save. Wow.

You'd pick heart gold and soul silver over. Oh, no. I'm choosing Breath of the Wild, like, that's my favorite one. Oh, that's your favorite one. Okay. Okay. I thought you were taking it out to the back and killing it. No.

Because you were apologizing to it. Because I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm choosing you. You chose the red straw and I'd grab him and I blow his out of love, I guess. Who are you blowing the head? I don't understand the analogy. What is he? And I've loved. I love him so much.

Who? Who? Who? Why are you killing him? No, no. Because I love him so much. I have to make sure no one else can hurt him. Do you?

God damn it. Whatever. Yeah, okay, we get it though. You've butchered that. I brought it back on a little bit. I think we understand at this point. A little bit, I brought it back. What did you think would be my,

because you said like you think you know what mine would be. Well, see, okay, so I was thinking because of, you know, how retarded you are about Halo and shit, you know, like that, that's just your, and one of the reasons why you're probably so ecstatic about destiny since it was bungee and shit. I had to think just like, oh, just out of default, it was going to be Halo Reach.

I just assumed. Oh, no. It was, it was, it was, it was, it was, 2010. Yes, it was. So, yeah. I thought about it. I thought about that a lot.

There's a big part of me that would have said that. But I feel like Halo as a game for me was definitely more of the 2000s. Yeah, I get it. I definitely played a ton of it in this decade, like, especially with the collection and all that shit. But, like, Destiny was, like, new this generation or this decade. And that's, you know, I feel like, and I'm playing Halo Reach a lot now that it's on PC, especially. But, like, you know, I can't just, I can't. I would feel too weird picking that again.

I feel, I feel like it has to, well, it's not just by, like, feelings that you can throw in and out. I think, like, logistically, and there's things that to consider, I feel like what is truly your, your 2010, the game of the decade or whatever, because of a lot of things to factor in. Like, there's a lot of things that I try to factor in as well, and I kind of had to go. I had to go with Mass Effect 2 because it's the thing that I have a tattoo of Talley Zora on my neck. You know what I mean? I had to really like consider everything. I'm like, all right.

There was other games that I thought maybe I enjoyed more, but then just as far as it impacted my life. I feel you. I was like, okay, this is unanimously has to do that. And I even I'm considering making a video in defense of Mass Effect 3 in retrospect

because the way, I think we all agree that it had a disaster launch and went to the finish because the ending was so fucking poor. But their DLC, they had a DLC, the Citadel 1 and 2, that's the real fucking ending. And there's probably a lot of people that never played it. And I'm like, you need to play this to really understand how great Mass Effect is and how great their fucking writing is. I'll be real with you, dude.

I didn't even really mind Mass Effect 3's ending that much. Like, I didn't like it necessarily, but I remember it ended and I was like, oh, that's, you know, that's not what I wanted really. But like, that was a great game. I had a lot of fun with it. It was good. They improved a lot of things And number two, as far as the combat goes as well

Because the combat is kind of The combat was nice Yeah, the combat is very good Even if you play it online in co-op Because that's all they had in the multiplayer It was really fun I really liked what they did with it Yeah, too is definitely the best

It's best, especially story-wise Because it's a very basic game When you think about it, all you're doing is you die And then you get brought back to life You recruit a team to go after the people that, you know, to just get revenge. You want a suicide mission. The vast majority of the game is recruiting and then doing loyalty missions to make sure they don't die.

Yeah. It's very basic. But it's so good. But the stories that intertwine it, the loyalty missions are so, even for like one of the most boring characters, you know, unfortunately has to be the black guy. Of course. There's not much to us. We're kind of flat, you know. Like the most boring basic military fuck on that game.

But his side mission is just like you're brought to this beautiful fucking planet, you know, where his dad is marooned. and then he takes advantage of his fuck it's just a really nice story even with his basic ass like they were able to do shit like that where I love that game so much to the point where I've played it way too many times and but I want to

That's definitely a top 10 game of all time for me For sure Top 10 is a fucking list for me man That's like a whole other day That's a whole crazy thing And then it was it was hard for me to debate Between the other the other ones And

It was kind of like in number two and if I had to pick three, it would be, number two would have to be, I think, Skyrim. I think it would have to be because the amount of hours that, because, yeah, people gave me shit for picking, for putting Skyrim on the list, but it's like, same shit for me, dude, but it's like, dude, like, like you all, it's, it's fine to make fun of it

because it's kind of a poorly aged game. Yes, yes. And I have a lot of problems with it. Sure. Obviously, sure. But that is, objectively speaking. Yeah. A defining game for the 2010s.

Like, that game was like a cultural event. 100%. I had never seen, and I'm, this is like genuine. Like I had never seen a launch like that since Halo 3 and then maybe after that, maybe Fortnite, literally. Like everybody, everybody was talking about Skyrim when that game came out. Literally, I didn't play it upon release. I played it late. I played it like in 2016.

Yeah, you played with the when they did the rematch. Oh, the remaster. I didn't play the original one because I thought it was kind of lame and everyone was talking about it and made me hate it. It's like one of the few times ever I've ever been like that person I was like oh everybody likes it I don't like it but then I played it And I was like yo this game is fucking

dope yeah It's not terrible at all It's a good time Even the glitches are fucking funny dude Like a shambling dragon running towards you That shit is hilarious dude One of the fucking giants Smacking you and launching you

fucking like a hundred feet in the air more I think a lot of the contention With Skyrim now especially is because they've ported it to everything Yeah So it seems like they're just milking the shit out of it. What they are. And also, what they definitely are. Absolutely.

And beyond that, I think Bethesda's reputation as of late has been very, very bad. And people have been retroactively looking at their old games because of it. Critiquing the fuck out of them. Yes. But like, I don't know, man. I don't know how you could look at Skyrim and not say that that's a game of the, like, at least some game of the decade. Yeah. And think about it.

Because it is super important. 100%. I don't know, man. Like, everybody played it. If you're criticizing it, you played the shit out of it. You've played it. I guarantee you, you've put like 50 plus hours in this way too many hours. You definitely been walking down fucking, like fucking rifting and got robbed or attacked by somebody.

That shit happened in that game, dude. You'd walking down a fucking, like a fucking path. And then someone's like, hey, I'm here to kill you. And it's like, what the, I don't have experienced that in any of the game. That was exploring. That was my first experience with that in an RPG. I hadn't really been that much of an RPG guy. Yeah.

Until Skyrim, I think. Like, Mass Effect was also like that. It's RPG. Like, I mean, Mass Effect is an RPG, but like, you know, it wasn't an RPG in that way. Not in the sense that. People would approach you and, like, be like, I have a note from this person, and then you get a note and then you have to go. Like, it wasn't that kind of a RPG. But, like, Skyrim was definitely, like, my first experience.

I didn't play Oblivion because I remember when it came out. It just looked disgusting. It looked terrible. It looked terrible at the time. Totally skipped over it. And Skyrim kind of doesn't look that. It doesn't look great. Oblivion apparently has a redacted.

ridiculously awesome story. That's what they say. That's what I also hear people say that and these are the people that are really balls deep into elder scrolls are like Marwan's the fucking best. I watched my brother play Marowen on Xbox when I was young. And I was like, this is the most boring stupid shit I've ever seen because you'd be walking for like 20 minutes and doing nothing. Like I'm talking about not in the way that you're exploring and shit like how Skyrim can look pretty fucking nice. Especially if you have some like high in shit like not the vanilla version. Yeah.

If you put like overhauls on it and stuff. I put the graphic enhancement on it too. It looks insane. The overhauled graphics on PC make that game like actually really good. It was fucking amazing. I put like an AK overhaul in it and I was just like, dude, this game looks fucking great. Some places my piece isn't great enough to where it was like waterfalls and I have to like leave because it's like too good. And I was like it's fucking my game up. But like it just, it's amazing the type of shit you can do.

And I want to challenge everybody. I imagine there's so many people that discovered video game donkey because of his ultimate skyline thing. That's a fucking luli. That's how we all started watching him. Yeah. You knew about him before all of us did. Yeah, yeah. But one time one of our friends just came in and he was like,

you guys got to watch this. And we watched it and we cackled for hours. It's so funny. It's so funny. I watched that video a few times a year at least. Yeah. Yeah. Go back to it.

The Mario Car one. That Mario Car one is hilarious. That one's a fucking gem. It's good. It's right. It's great. But like the ultimate Skyrim is like such a good. Like that video alone, I feel like justifies it as one of the games.

That's what I'm saying. Like with that, like the amount of shit you're able to do with that game. It wouldn't. that video would not exist if you weren't able to do that crazy shit in the game. The community that we're building that many mods, there is, I challenge you to find a game that has more mods than fucking Skyrim. It's hard,

it'll be difficult. Maybe Leffordead, but even Leffordead doesn't happen. I don't know, man. Like, go on, let's go on like Nexus is where, you know, usually you get your mods from.

And look and see how much shit is in that community compared to, like, another game. It's probably, I, maybe there's more, but it's just, in my perception. Hey,

you're finally awake. Yeah. It's so fucking. The arrow to the knee. That shit is that. I hated that. I hated that. I fucking hated that.

There's a quote that me and our roommate quote every time you hear it say it. I've been hunting to fishing these parts for years. That quote, I've said that so many times outside of my house in the real world. It means so much to the humans. There's so many good, there's so many good, like, TikToks now of, like, people, like, miming. Something happened. Dude. That dude, that dude who's, like, walking into the chest.

Yeah, dude, that's one of my favorite things ever. He's just scooting all the chairs and the way that he like to get to one chair and sit down. Yeah, man. That shit is so good. I love that. Skyrim has brought me like a lot of enjoyment even without playing it. That's what I'm saying.

Just the shit related to it. And also the soundtrack's really good. It's great. It's a solid game. I think people are hard on it. Even the glitch is good. I think the glitch that I gave also fantastic. It gives you a lot of enjoyment.

And that's the thing I tell people if people are like, oh, no, that's ridiculous. I'm like, think about it objectively. Think about how much that impacted your life and how much. I say, I don't want to look at how many hours I played in the Skyrim. Because it was hundreds on the Xbox. And now plus on PC, it's got to be like shameful almost how much I fucking played that shit. So I had to put it in there.

But that's why I like say, okay, Mass Effect, Jess, because it was amazing. Mass Effect 2 was amazing. I got to play it. Skyrim. But my third, and this is for me, this isn't something that I feel like it wouldn't be in a lot of people's number one. or anything near it is a god of war three He's god of war three that came out in march of 2010 Because I remember it's shenanigans

Was supposed to come out in 2009 And then I'm glad that they took the time To finish it properly And that game was fucking At the time No better graphics Like really looking at a fucking game on the PS3 It was just insane

And I challenge you to find a better opening In a video game Find a better opening It was a really good Pocitan right? Yeah And you fight Poseidon, that fucking, you immediately jump into a boss battle with the, with the amount of, like, say, you're on, like, Gaia, that big ass fucking a Titan. And the amount of shit you do.

And then at the very end when you finally get Poseidon and you beat the fuck out of him and you blind him, you fucking break his neck. And then it has like mortal combat blood where it's just, but it's just like the entire sequence, my mouth was open the entire time. Because, like, I would have been a huge fan of God War franchise before that. But that was just a completely another thing. where I was like, holy shit. Oh, yeah. Show me some. Can you guys think of something that theatrical and crazy?

Just opening the game. You know what's crazy? The next game in that franchise, actually. That's actually a good, that's a good. That's the only other one I can think of. God of War, the PS4 one, the opening of that game is off the Richter. It's like what the, actually, no, it wasn't the opening.

No, no, it wasn't the opening. The opening you're cutting down the tree. Yeah, that's the. I thought the opening was, I remember starting God of War for P. before and I was like this is gonna suck. I remember it was like, this sucks so hard. It was so much slower pace than I thought.

Actually, wow. They just cut down a tree. It's just crad was like, I'm a fucking sad little alcoholic, and he's cutting down a tree, and he's got like a little, he's caressing it like a fucking freak. And he's like slowly carrying it down,

and it's like, oh my God, my son won't shut the fuck up. I can't believe this. I hate this. I hate this little piece of shit. And then it got to the balder fight. And that was wild. The second, it got to that first fight.

I was like, this is, what the fuck is. this. This is like something else entirely. They did a fantastic job with, I wanted to kind of put that up there, but three, the way that it impacted me and the way that I felt, it didn't do, four didn't do that with me. I loved,

I absolutely loved, I absolutely it was a little interesting the way that they changed the stuff, but I think they changed it for the better which was the mechanics. Yeah. They kind of modernized them, so that was cool. Way overhauled and completely different kind of game. But like the boss fights were still fucking amazing. That's just one thing I loved about him.

so much. But when you think about like three, especially when you're the, you even, you kill a titan, like you're this little motherfucker and you kill a titan. You kill Kronos.

You know, you kill like fucking. Yeah, like there's, there's so many things that's amazing, but number four did so the boss fights and Balder. I love,

they just did such a fantastic job. And you know what I love about God of War? That, that they didn't change, you know, there's like, say, Corey Barlog,

yeah. He, he's changed a lot. Like, idealistically since he's gotten older. And a lot of people have. They feel like they've grown up. And a lot of people have shifted a lot more progressive.

And then they put it into their games. I love that he didn't do that. Well, that's one thing that I appreciate with him. Because a lot of people are... Hey, it's Jay Shetty from On Purpose. Check out the best of a moment we did, presented by eBay. Music has always been one of my teachers. There was a vinyl record I used to play

during a quiet, very formative season of my life. Late nights, no distractions. Just me, the music. and my thoughts. Over time, life changed, schedules filled up, and somewhere along the way, that record disappeared. I didn't notice right away, but I felt the absence of what it represented. So I searched for that same vinyl, the same version, the same cover, and I found it on eBay. When it arrived, I couldn't wait to listen. And when I finally did, the music was the same, but I wasn't. I heard it differently. I understood it differently. And that's when it really hit me.

Objects can evolve us, they can remind us of practices we want to return to, of values we don't want to lose, of versions of ourselves that still matter. That's what I love about eBay.

Kind of sometimes just a little like, you know, I think we should do this. Or we should, maybe we should not do this. It's like, no, Kratos is still, he's old and tired, but he's still a fucking savage. And one thing that I like that they didn't take those elements out of there

or try to do anything that would make anyone roll their eyes. They just fucking just did it. They were like, here's God of War. He's still fucking Kratos. It's frustrating when a protagonist just shifts entire character. Yeah, calm, calm. I feel like, what do we? I know he's going to.

I'm not going anywhere. I won't speak of it anymore. Okay. Okay. Damn it, you got me excited. So what happens is, uh, everyone in his house, particularly Chris, me and our roommate Jalen are pretty, pretty good Halo. We love Halo.

We love those games. I love Halo 2 with all my heart because it's one of my favorite characters, Arbiter, in it. She's one of the best games. ever. But yeah, I don't know. To sum it up. Yeah. It's God of War, I wrote an entire video about like what God of War does, what God of War 4 did so right that Halo 4 didn't as far as character goes. Okay. And God of War starts off

where Cratos is basically still Cratos. He's still the same Cratos than he was in God of War War III. He's like a little bit more mature because he has a kid. Yeah. But that's about it. He's still at a realistic, he's still at a realistic, he's still realistically the same person. Yes. And then throughout the course of the game, you see his character change. You see, like, you know, at the end of it,

he's a little bit more reasonable and a little bit less hair triggered. Yeah. But you get to see that character change. Whereas in, throughout the entire Halo trilogy, Master Chief says, like, maybe a couple things because he only speaks when he needs to speak.

Yeah. And everything he says is awesome because of that. Yeah. And then in the beginning of Halo 4, he just doesn't shut the fuck up all of a sudden. And I'm like, what is this? Who are you? Why did you...

Why? Why are you constantly talking? It's like, I would have been fine with that if it did what they did. Where it's like, if he started off the same as he was, and then towards the end where it's like, oh, this character might die, oh shit. Maybe he starts getting a little bit more serious and he starts talking more.

But like, they just fucked it up entirely because he just doesn't shut up and I got annoyed. I got annoyed hearing. I shouldn't be annoyed hearing one of my favorite characters ever speak. That's crazy because they could have just done that so much better.

Yeah. As he could have just found Cortana was dying and he could have just had a moment where he was just like, I don't know if I would have made it this far without you. And I really appreciate you. Here's the thing. Yeah. I don't know if there's that many things that I'm confident in necessarily, you know? I'm like lathered in self-doubt constantly. Sure. But if there is one thing that I am sure of is that I could have fixed that franchise in a second. Like I could have done an infinitely better job anybody. I'm so sure of it.

I love that you feel that way. I am beyond fucking confident. I would have done it for free, literally. No, I love that you feel that way because I feel that way about a few things. There's a handful of things where it's like, like even like say me being a huge fan of Mass Effect, the Mass Effect franchise. And the way that Andromeda was a massive failure. Oh my God. There's fucking gargantuan. There are so, you know how much that hurt my fucking soul because of the...

I have an idea. The potential they had in what I thought they were going to do, there was nothing like that. And then you figured out the problems. I have that game too then. I have a game like that too then. But don't worry. Because Anthem, they got Anthem.

God. Yeah, dude. Didn't you play Anthem? It was fantastic. Damn it, dude. Like, they're tragic. And you would fly and that's all you could do. You would just fly away from problems.

BioWare. It's like, fuck you, man. Bioware is known for fucking, like, they're known for its RCHI-R-P-G, like this, the love interest and the die. and the dialogue trees, amazing fucking writing. They're known for this shit. And they're like, Anthem, we're just going to throw all that out the fucking window and do like a looter shooter shit.

We're going to just try to put some other shit out that nobody fucking asked for. The suits, bro. The suits. Remember those fucking cool-ass suits? God damn it fly away from everything all the time? That pisses me on. And there was no restriction from you doing that. Yeah.

Yeah. Anthem is ruined from like a base gameplay mechanic, like a gameplay standpoint because it's a game all about combat, but you can then just leave. just leave at any point because you can fucking fly. Flying isn't interesting. Yeah. It's just not. The only reason flying works in like vehicles and shit is because that shit is temporary and that you can get shot out of that shit in like, you know, PVP and shit.

Yeah. Fly is not good. Yeah, no. Like, this is why there's not been a good supervagan. It's overrated. It's, it's why like, it's overrated. It's why like saying in the future, it's cool to have boosters. Yeah, boosters so you can maneuver, but you can't just fuck off.

You know? And it's something that in like, at least I gave in. Edromeda, when the combat goes, they added boosters, I'm like, okay, they're in the future. Thank you, finally. So you can maneuver a little bit better. But if you were just able to like fucking fly the entire, what is the incentive to stay in combat ever?

What is the reason? What is the reason? Or to explore the world on no ground, where people are. Imagine Skyrim, if you could just fly to the top of High Rothgar or something. You know, it's like, what would be, the game would be, the game. There would be no point to the game. All the level design would be pointless. Because the

level is fucking below you. And you're not actually going through it in any meaningful way. It's such a bad fucking concept. And learning this, and I've known about this because, you know, biower used to use Unreal. It's just like, thank you. Why will the fuck wouldn't you? And then they had a deal with frostbite, which fucked them in the ass.

And what I can't understand is that for three fucking, like three of the IPs, they stuck with it. And I was like, is it a deal that they can't get out of? Because they got lucky with Inquisition. They got lucky. They even said it themselves that, like, you know, this could have been a disaster because they had to build everything from the ground up. It could have been a huge disaster,

but it turned out to be okay. There's a lot of people that didn't like it because of their, you know, this, the way that they like Dragon Age origins. But as far as a game, I actually enjoyed it overall and it wasn't a fucking disaster. Obviously, Indromeda was

because they couldn't figure out what the fuck to do, and then they had to start over from the beginning. And then they had two years to start over from the fucking beginning. Yeah, that game looked confusing. People's faces look like, people used to droop, dude.

They had to fucking just AI this shit. They had to just be, they didn't have time to fucking. and animate everything. They had to just be like, fuck, here's the dialogue, here's the, we're gonna just have

match it as much as possible because we don't have time to do anything. BioWare, I think, is the tragedy of the decade. It's the worst because they were my favorite. It really is sad.

They fell down. They fell down off their horse. Capcom, on the other hand, is like, shoot. Capcom. Capcom has redeemed themselves tenfold. Such a good redemption arc.

Dude, freaking biohazard was dope. Fucking Devil May Cry 5 was a fucking snack of a video game. Which I was like, what the fuck? Okay.

It's a snack of a fucking experience. That game was so fun, it was ridiculous. Even V. V was the lamest character in that fucking game, and even he was dope. And I was just like, what the fuck? This guy is a fucking Shakespearean fucking twig with tattoos.

He's about to blow away in the fucking wind. But he has a fucking panther shadow and a crow and this big nigga. He just had a big nigga that like popped up. And he'd be like, yo, this is fucking wild. The only crap I was really, really good. That game caught me way up. And the final fight with fucking Virgil in that game

is some of the hype. best shit I've ever experienced. Resident Evil 2, though, is like the one was. I could not believe how good that was. Can you find a flaw in that game as far as a remake goes? No. That's what I'm saying. There's not a single thing about that game that I would change in any way.

I was thinking about that when we were like talking about this list and because it was kind of a contender. And I was thinking, I'm like, at least as far as remake goes, there's nothing I'll ever touch it. There's nothing in that game. I was like, oh, I wish it was like this. I was trying to think of something. I think it's the only time.

It's the best remake that I think I think. 100%. Was, um, I didn't play it yet, but could you use the knife as a weapon other than just like getting people to, stabbing people to get off you? I, would you actually use it in combat, like the knife people. I can't remember. I don't think you can, I think you can. You can't, I think you can't. No, no, you definitely can.

You definitely can. Can you use it outside of like, oh, yeah, yeah, you can. You definitely can. I was cutting some guy's legs. Yeah, like you, because you run out, if you run at ammo, like you're fucked. You got to use a knife, yeah. Because I remember in the original one you couldn't do that. And I was like, why, you could just have people to get them off you.

original one and I was like, why can't you just hit them with the night? Like the first Resident Evil? The First Evil too. I don't think that's accurate. No, no, that's definitely not because in night, no, because in nightmare mode, for example, in nightmare mode, I remember, if you wanted to kill a zombie, you had to behead them.

And nightmare mode, that's nightmare mode. So like the hardest one. So you either had to try to blow their head off or you had to, you, they would not die any other way. They wouldn't die. So and I remember this, which made it so hard was because in the other modes, you were able to knife a zombie to death. you were able to actually

You could even knife Their fucking legs to death It was stupid I remember that all in the first I remember playing like Resident Evil 2 And I was just like I could only remember stab

Like the zombie would get on me And I would stab and they'd get it off me No that's eventually would I think it would The knife would I don't know if it would break anything like that But I'd have to use it to just get the zombie No I think that's something else

Because for sure in Resident Evil 2 I remember because like As the modes got hard You got less ammo But you were able to just use your knife Or say there would be things like Like was it hunk Or I think there was things like

You only had a knife or something certain runs you would do. So you can kill these motherfuckers. But I remember in nightmare mode trying to beat it and I didn't get like anywhere because you realize how tough it is to not have fucking ammo. It's such a, it's just such a

literally, oh dude, dude. Mr. X? Mr. X? The way that they did Mr. X was because in the original ones they had the surprise burst in the waltz that was start aule and that's it. I still like Mr. X as a character

but I could evade him so easily. I was just like, fuck this guy. The way they did it now where you didn't even have enough time sometimes to think where you're like trying to figure out a puzzle and then if you stay in one play for too long, you just boom boom boom boom like fuck I need to

shoot him and you knock his hat off and he just picks up the speed and you're like the sound design in that game is really good. It's fucking flawless dude. It's kind of it's kind of a perfect video game it really is. Like I can't think of anything wrong with it. It's a massively made horror game. It's the way that you know what it's weird it's almost like

We always say that why don't they just listen to the fans? It almost seems like there was a fan sitting in the room the entire time. They were making it. Like, no, just make sure you do this. Make sure it just stays. Don't forget this. And then it was all there. It was all there.

It's a great example of just a game that's like, it's a remake of something that's actually changing it for the better. Yeah. Like it's definitely better than the original. Absolutely. I don't even think there's even a slight. I have no reason to go back to the original. I really don't. Yeah.

Like, good job Capcom. Really, you guys have done fantastic. They turned it around, man. They started this. They started this decade really bad. They, so much ass. If they make a good Mega Man game, then they're back entirely. Like, if they somehow create a good Mega Man game.

A great one. Yeah. A great one. They have to make a great one. The last one was pretty okay. It wasn't bad at all. That's one. They make an amazing one.

I'd be like, yo, God, fuck. God bless. I need some Mega Man X, though. I need some Mega Man X, though. I need some Mega Man X is my, that's my fucking childhood. That's my childhood. And if they do something, even if they, with their whole remake things, even if they just remade the side school,

in X series from the X to one to six I would fucking I mean they don't even have to do that many What if they do? They'd have to spice it up somehow in a different way Because they did this is what happened to this one They like they just opt it in certain places To make it like better than the previous That's really all I need

But I don't know how like side scrollers are so They're just timeless you know Like they don't you don't need to ever touch them They don't age quite as badly They don't The original Mario game is still a pretty good game It's still a good great format Like it just works

So like remake it just works So, like, remaking side scrollers is hard. Because it's like, we're just going to make it look better, and we're just charging you for the literal same game again. I kind of, if it's, if it's cheap, I'm totally fucking chill with it. Like, say, if somebody remade Streets of Rage 2, just made the graphics, because that's like the timeless beat them up. If they just made the graph, just up them,

I know they're making a fourth one, which I'm really excited for. But if they just put that out, I would still play, I was playing it just maybe like four months ago. I was streaming it. Yeah. It's still always fun. Like that game is fucking. That game is my fucking, and it's Metro.

Have you guys played a blasphemous? Have you seen that? No. But then you brought it up to me. That's like the side-scrolling like Dark Souls. You know, they always say. It looks kind of cool. It looks, dude, like, I don't know,

this is just so many shit. There's so much shit that came out this in the last 10 years. So much. That's actually great. This can go on for, this is going on for years. You know what I was thinking about? Like, I didn't even think about like, Bioshock was this year too.

Bioshock was infinite. Byershock 2 and infant. Wait, are you sure 2 was 10? 2 is 2010. I thought it was 9. 2 was 2010. Oh, fuck it. I remember Bioshock in 07, right?

Bioshock was 2007. 2007 is probably one of the best years of all time. 2007 was an insane year. That was HAL 3. 2007 was HAL 3, the Orange Box. So that's Portal and like fucking all that shit. And Mirz Edge, right? Was it Mirz Edge?

Mere's Edge was, yeah, it was later. Fucking, there's so much shit in 2007. There's a lot of shit. I do remember. being a lot of fucking shit. Like, 07 was a... I think I even read an article not that long ago.

It's one of the best years, I think, of all time. Dude, it's crazy. There's... It's like, it's... Because I mean, I mean, in a decade. And then... 2007 was Bioshok, Portal,

Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, which is like one of the best... That's crazy. The first crisis. Holy shit. Mass Effect, the first mass effect. That's right. That's right. Uncharted.

The first Uncharted. The first Assassin's Cree. That's right I remember playing the fuck out of that game God of War II Yes Fucking God of War II came up 2007

Yes Jesus fuck That was like one of the last PS2 games It was definitely on the Yeah it was the ass end And it looked Fucking gorgeous for PS2

That's what I love when like They put shit on the ass And when they like perfected everything Yeah doing at the end When like it's just what happening now I feel like At the end of the game's like Lifetime

And they're like All right let's just like What can a console do Since we've added all this extra shit I just see how pretty games can be Yeah Team Fortress too That's right

Remember, that's a staple of the fucking industry at this point. Yeah. That game changed video games, literally, actually. Yeah, and I don't even necessarily think, like, the first Assassin's Creed is good. It's not, or even the first in chart, I think it's pretty bad. The second one is infinitely better. The second one is the best one still. It's infinitely better.

So Uncharted 2? I would agree. That game is wild. Like, Pontchard 4 looks amazing and it has some really cool parts. But, two, there was moments in that game where I was like, I got stressed. I was like, there is no out of this. I'm dying. Uncharted 2 is probably the only game in that series that I think is exceptionally good.

Except for the end. The end is like frustrating. When you're fighting all those Yetis and it takes like two million bullets just to pull it down. And I'm like, what the fuck is this? And they were people. They weren't even yeties at the end. They heard of dudes and suits and shit. And I was like, what kind of suit is that?

Doom 2016 is definitely one that I would be remissed. not mention. Yeah. Because it's so, so, so, so, so, so good. It's very satisfying. Titanfall 2.

Another one? Timefall 2 is, like, Titanfall 2 is, is incredibly underrated, absolutely. It's incredibly underrated even though everybody

talks about how much they love it. Yeah. And it's still underrated. But that's one of the things. It's like, everyone's talking about it and like,

this was fucking great, but it's like, what happened though? Yeah. What's another game that came out? They're like, what was my game? I was like,

underrated, but like, it was a fucking, this is Sophia Bush from working progress with Sophia Bush. Check out this special moment we did on our show presented by eBay. When I was living in Chicago, I took part in my first ever giant charity sale and I was able to auction several items from my personal closet on eBay. They were items that marked huge moments

in my life and in my career. And though I was ready to pass them along, I also wanted to make sure they were going to someone who would love them. One of the things I loved them most about doing this with eBay is there was a way for everyone to shop. It wound up being so much fun to see where each and every item was going, where it was going to be loved. And in passing items along like that, authenticity really matters to the person who's getting them. That's why I love eBay's authenticity guarantee. They weren't just listing my items. They were verifying them, making sure something was genuinely from where it claimed to be, in this case, my closet. To listen to more, check out the full episode wherever you get your podcasts.

Dying Light, that game's fucking, that game's some other shit, bro. I finally played it like a month ago, and I was just like, what?

Guys, this could go on for literally days. This is one of those conversations that just can, it could persist until everybody dies. Literally, smash Ultimate. I have to mention, I have to mention one other thing that I didn't, like, put into any, any of the talk is Arkham City. Because I'm a huge, I'm a huge Batman fan. And there's never been, like, a proper Batman. game and that was finally realized and it was cool

just having like the old voices of the animated series I fail you yeah like so that was something that so great I mean of course they did that in the original one the Arkham Asylum but then they had Arkham City was just fleshed out gliding everywhere

and this being feeling like fucking Batman something that people have been wanting to do for fucking ever that was it was wild that was the first game that I played really on PC. Oh yeah? Was Arkham Asylum and Arkham City

because they was on like some crazy Steam sale and I finally had a rig that I could like run shit on. Okay. I'd like sick. And I learned that game I forced myself to learn to play with like mouse and keyboard on it.

Oh no shit. Yeah. And I got pretty good at it. I remember that game coming out and it was like when I first experienced because Arkham Arkham Asylum was cool

but the combat got like really tightly done in the Arkansas City. And I remember like playing it I was like yo this is why that's the first time I played the superhero game where I feel like, yo, I'm really fucking these guys up. Oh, yeah. Like, it's not like I'm using any of these powers.

Like, I'm beating these shit out of these guys. Yo, it's... And it felt great. The thing that's weird about that game is like, it always felt... And it's funny because when Spider-Man, when Marvel Spider-Man came out by Insomniac, they kind of borrowed heavily from it. Yes, yes. And I remember even thinking it's like, I'm glad they did that because

I remember thinking when I was playing Arkham, I was like, this is like Spider-Man moves. Like, the way that he... just launches across. Yes. Like the me, like, I'm sorry.

Batman can't fucking do that. Like Batman can't just magnetize his foot. But see, that's why I love it so much. It's like Batman is like a 6-4 or 6-3, like 240-pound man in this fucking thick suit. And for some reason he can spring fucking 20 feet across to hit one thug to another.

I was like, this is so dumb. I love it. There's moments in that game where like, I remember one time I was like fighting a group people and some guy tried to hit me with a pipe. And I remember I counter it. And what I did to him, I was like, yo, you regret.

You regret being here. He let him with the pipe. He told him that you regret it from him, hit him, and then cracked him in the face with it. And then proceeded to beat down on him. Then I did a fucking flip over him and knead him in the head. I took him down. I know this is wild. I know Batman doesn't kill people, but a lot of those people died in the hospital.

Like a lot of them. He didn't kill the internal bleeding killed them. It's such a way. That whole morale. things just I don't understand it. What, not killing people? You're crunching people's skulls and bones and probably giving them brain damage.

But see, that's the beauty. You're basically killing him. That's the beauty of Batman, though. It's this duality. Like, there's this thing where he's wrestling with those demons. He wants to kill people. Like, he's like, fuck, man, like, I'm going to try my best to not do this,

but then he's doing things that are borderline and then it just makes him very questionable. And that's why a lot of people are like, oh, don't trust this vigilante. He's a piece of shit. But then there's other people. You know, it comes into the whole. He just beats up the mentally ill.

Literally. That's what he does. He's also mentally ill too. And he's mentally ill to the point where it's the people even say, and they did the greatest thing, one of the best things of Batman were animated movie and just the graphic novel is under the red hood. Yeah.

So there's under the red hood where it's brought into it when the third, Jason Todd or right, Jason Todd, he comes and he's like brings into question. Like if you just would kill the Joker, do you know how many lives I would save? And this is something that me and my friends have been to debating for the fucking longest time.

We're like, oh, it's not Batman's job to kill Joker. The city should fry him instead of putting him in the fucking insane asylum. But the whole thing was like, that's what Jason Todd was like, I died because you wouldn't fucking kill this asshole. And it just became like a huge thing. And I loved it. I loved it so much because of that. And that's why the duality and then, you know, whatever.

It kind of is Batman's job to kill the joke. It's not like, it's not particularly his job, but he could have done it. He should have done it. He could have and should have done it. Should have done it. I agree. But one nerd thing real quick, since you're another, I'm also, I'm a comic book everything fan for the most part.

But I think if he would have killed Dick Grayson, Batman would have killed him. I think he cares about, he loves, because he cares about all the other John Rock, like, Robbins. Yeah. But Dick Grayson's his baby. That's like his, like, I look, he looks at him like, I'm so proud that he turned out this great. I think he would have killed the Joker. It probably, it probably would have made him snap because it's weird that, like, The whole thing with Jason Todd happened

And then there was another one There was Tim Drake And then there was his son Yeah, his son And then they fucking like Do not get along at all Yeah If Damian died he'd probably be like

You suck Whatever dude That's cool man That's cool man That's fucked up I'll avenge you I guess I'll fuck Tali again And then we'll just make another one

Pop out another one I'll fuck your hot ass fucking mom Make another one of you better I don't know anything about any of this shit I saw the animated series and I played the arch and games literally. It's the original Robin, the one that he met for...

I know, like, Tim... I know, I know these people's names. I don't know anything about it. Yeah, it's not for everyone, but for the people that are following, they know what the fuck's going on. Yeah, yeah. They feel the frustration.

He would have killed him for fucking Dick Grayson. We all know that. We all fucking know it. Yeah. So normally, I would try to segue into questions here. Yeah.

But because we didn't take any and because the Patreon's not up, uh, this is where that would happen in the future. So keep that in mind. But I guess just to kind of segue into something, since this decade is over, right, and we're done here, we're done. Okay. Next decade for video games.

What are you hoping for specifically? Next decade. If there's something that hasn't been around for a long time that you want to see come back or if there's something new that you want to see. Metroid Prime Ford got me excited, definitely. Obviously the next God of War game, I'm hype as fuck for that. That's my shit, yeah. There's Last of Us 2, which I'm fucking hype about as well. That's about it.

I don't, because there's so much kind of like shrouded and mystery. I want so desperately to see a splinter cell again. I don't know what the fuck happened to stealth games, but they're just dead. They're gone. Yeah. Like, stealth as a genre is just gone entirely. Hitman is the last one, and that's not really a stealth game. Really?

Like, it kind of is. It's a social stealth game. Like, it is a stealth game, but it's not like, it's not a metal gear or, or, or, or, or a splinter cell or a siphon filter. It's none of that. All that shit is dead. And Splinter Cell is the only one that's still alive, really. They just haven't done anything with it.

And it's, like, kind of sad. Like, they had like a, I don't know if you saw, but in one of the more recent Tom Clancy games, I think it was like Wildlands or one of the Ghost Recon, the open world ones. They had like a, like, a DLC mission where Sam, Sam Fisher from Floreshals. And he talks about, like, he mentioned snake or something. Saw.

Yeah, he's talking about snakes. Or somebody mentioned snake. It was like, there was some guy. Special Forces, he wore a bandana. And then the lady he's talking to is like, he retired. And there's this moment where he just looks down, he's like, so it's only me now. There was this other guy, though, Army infiltration. He wore a bandana or something.

I heard he finally retired. Really? Yep. It's only me. Sam. Yeah. And it's the saddest fucking, it's actually so sad. Interesting.

It's the most depressing thing I've ever seen. That's pretty true. Because they just haven't done it. And the last, I remember E3, it was either this year or last year. I blocked that out of my memory because I was in a fit of rage when I saw it. But, like, Ubisoft was like, it was at the Ubisoft Press Conference. And they were, like, showing off this mobile game or something. It was like a mobile tactics game.

It was like the characters from the division and like some characters from like fucking whatever the fuck. And then they had Sam Fisher in there. And I was like, you are a piece of shit. How dare you show me Sam Fisher in this context? It's the word. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage.

I hate it. Holy shit. Overwatch 2 might be cool, I guess. I can't even pretend to be excited. I've never played Overwatch. Might be too. It might be cool. Overwatch is fine. Yeah, I never played it. But it looks like Overwatch 2 is confusing.

Because the thing about Overwatch 2 is that it's a new game. It's a brand new game. Yeah. It's a sequel. Except the multiplayer is crossplay with the original. Oh. So it can't be that different. It's probably the same game.

It's probably, yeah. They're just adding a single player campaign to it, but they're calling it Overwatch 2, even though it's just Overwatch 1 plus. Okay. with just an expansion. Yeah, so it's an expansion, but they're making a sequel out of it,

which is like, they don't, do they have to do that? I don't think it is, I can just put like a pretty big upgrade to the, yeah, I think that's, you know what I bet it is. You know what I bet it is.

Or like $40, or $30, I was like, if I was a betting man, I would say that it's an Activision thing because Activision, for whatever reason, likes to take games that don't need sequels and give them sequels. Yeah, like Destiny 2, literally. Destiny 2 didn't need to happen.

And based on, like, like bungee split with Activision and then being like, oh hey, you know, now that we're gone from Activision, we don't have to make the third one. We're just going to keep supporting Destiny 2 for a long time. I think there's like a five-year roadmap from here on out. So 2025 is going to be like probably like the last year of Destiny 2 content, which is insane. Okay. Like that's how it should, that's how the first one should have been.

It's wild. They should have just added. I think they're in the process of just like adding all the shit from Destiny 1 back in just to make it like a good decision. That makes sense. That makes sense. Literally as soon as they split from it, they had a huge update. That's when we started playing again when he got the crossplay.

and the game is a objectively different game. It's just like, wow, there's like builds. Like you can put perks into stats and you'll play your character differently. It's definitely more RPG. And I think they're like going further down into that territory. I'm excited. It's a great game. But it's just weird like they're that they're making a sequel to do it at all.

Like just add a campaign. Yeah. You have a platform. That would be the better thing to do. Yeah, you have so many people playing this game already. Why would you want to? Yeah, it's got to. Yeah.

It's weird. I know whatever the fuck they're going to do though. Yeah. But yeah there's, I mean, obviously, like, there's so many things. I'm wondering what's going to happen with God of War 5 if they're going to do it with PS5? Because I fucking don't want them to do that. What? Because I, okay, I'm not going to buy a PS5.

I'm probably not. Unless if they make God of War 5 an exclusive on PS5, then I have to buy it. They're probably going to do that. That's what pisses me. They just heard me off so, man. Some Sony was like, we've got another black guy. Some other black guy said this. Some other black guy said this.

That's the final one. It's the final tally. We got them. That's what I'm like, you asshole. That's how they, that's how systems sell. It makes it. I get it. But there's a, there's a game that's coming out.

I forgot what game. They're like, oh, we're going to make it a part of the PS4 that they revealed in the Seamus. There's some games that they're like, they. That I'm excited for. I forgot what it was. But there was something that they were really like, we're going to do this fucking game.

I think I had to do with like gods or some shit. Godfall, yeah. Godfall. And they're like... It's gearbox. Yeah, okay. Okay, that's right. It's borderlands with swords. It's a sorter lands.

Sword or lands? That sounds kind of dope. Okay. Yeah. So yeah, I'm like, okay, instead of everything else that's being announced, it's just going to be on the new consoles, there's still some shit that's going to be ass-in.

And I'm like, oh, I was hoping that. I just crossing my fingers because I don't, I really don't want to buy the PS5. At least not, like, not any time. Not upon release. Yeah. It's not attractive upon release.

I definitely probably will. You're probably going to have. I kind of get why you would. Yeah, I get why you would. Maybe we'll get one if we're lucky. Yeah, like a Sony extension. That you're pretty cool. I'm just going to hold my PS5.

I have the pro one. I'm just going to hold onto it until like there's like one of these like ridiculous markdowns where I get like 250 off like the PS5 or something like that. Yeah, I just love new hardware. I don't know what it is. I like every time a new console comes out, I just, I like that it exists. And I'm like excited. But I don't like how like it's just, it's just the beta version of it pretty much.

Yeah, there's always like a better version. Yeah. That's the thing that's frustrating. I hate it. That's just tech in general now, though. The original Xbox One was like so shit. It's insane how bad that fucking thing was. That shit screams, bro.

Like as a machine. And then they put out the one ass and I was like, this is nice. It's not bad at all. It's not even a VCR anymore. It's, it runs smooth. It doesn't fucking run incredibly hot. Yeah, like it's not a bad. It's not a bad console.

The Xbox one, the original one, and that shit is loud. That shit is a loud console. The original Xbox one, this is. Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush. Check out this special moment we did on our show presented by eBay. When I was living in Chicago, I took part in my first ever giant charity sale, and I was able to auction several items from my personal closet on eBay. They were items that marked huge moments in my life and in my career.

And though I was ready to pass them along, I also wanted to make sure they were going to somewhere. who would love them. One of the things I loved them most about doing this with eBay is there was a way for everyone to shop. It wound up being so much fun to see where each and every item was going, where it was going to be loved. And in passing items along like that, authenticity really matters to the person who's getting them. That's why I love eBay's authenticity guarantee. They weren't just listing my items. They were verifying them, making sure something was genuinely from where it claimed to be. in this case, my closet.

Off key. Constantly. It doesn't stop. It's humming to you in fucking Spanish, bro. Like some weird shit, you can't understand. You guys fucking remember the Dreamcast, how loud that shit was? That shit would get raunchy. Was it loud?

It would make a fucking, whenever it was loading, it was like, That poor fucking thing What in the hell is happening? It was just trying It was just trying They put so much ideas into that poor little creet It was like It was like when a bunch of parents

Put a lot of pressure on a little kid to do something That little kid has too much on their mind It was like the PlayStation 3 Where it was just like the PlayStation 3 When it launched had so much shit in it That just didn't You didn't need to put that in there Yeah

There was an SD card reader Why? What then? Yeah on the original fat PSC There was an SD card reader There was all these like proprietary like memory things and like cables and I think it was like a fire wiring or something

there's some crazy shit and like why the fuck are you doing this I had one of those dude and I fucking broke it I had the original PS3 the fat one and I fucking broke it I like the original PS3 design I like the fat one very indifferent about it it looked all right I got it's cool as shit I like that it was and it was everything was backwards compatible that was pretty awesome It was so insane because I didn't need to buy new video games Yeah

I just got it with like Heavenly Sword I guess Or some shit like that Yeah And I was just like I'm just gonna play Heavenly Sword And I mean the faces Like Cooper And Ratching Clank Didn't have

Like Any games until Uncharted 2 Yeah I think any games any great ones Remember resistance? Kind of yeah Resistance is actually cool Like I think

It was weird The problem with resistance Was that it was a first person shooter That existed alongside the heyday of Halo and there was no way there's no getting around like comparing it it's like there's just one is objectively better

but I did like resistance resistance is a really solid shooter especially on the PlayStation 3 which there really weren't any there was like Killzone and Killzone come on yeah killzone 1 sucked yeah kills on 2 is too I remember two being dope everybody like a Kills on 2 was fire

Kills 1 2 was fine but it was like it was not anything to like fucking celebrate. Yeah, yeah. You wouldn't like write, you wouldn't write about it in any real capacity. That wouldn't be something you'd write a little story about because how much you care about. No. Yo, check this out.

As far as there's hints being dropped that Demon Souls is probably going to get a remaster. There's conflicting reports about remake and remaster. That's a blue point, right? Uh-huh. Yeah. And so I think. think it's going to be remastered not a remake i think it's going to be like uh like um what's that i can't believe i'm brain farting right now um where you slay all those fucking giant things or that

chatro glasses thank you the little bit yeah that's another game i love i love that game so yeah it's a great game i just it's the 2000s but yeah but like i think it's going to be like that and so demon souls and then something that i've been the way that you've been with like everything and everything's been coming true for you like medieval fucking crash team racing it's everything that's been summoning shit that was manifest that's not That's what I'm saying. Like, I don't know what the fuck's happening, but I've been doing that same energy for this American JRP,

the Legend of Dragoon. And, like, there's... You played that too? It's one of my all-time favorite games. Like, it's fucking... The way that people, like, you know, jerk off to, like, Final Fantasy 7, I was like, dude, you gotta play the Legend of Dragoon. There's so much more that you can offer...

It's kind of like how it's a link to the past, and then there's a game that a lot of people skip called the Illusion of Gaia. And Illusion of Gaia is an S&E as a movie. game that is, I'm sorry, like a lot of people would maybe say, how dare you, but it's way better than a link to the past. And Link to the Past is fucking fantastic, obviously. But there's this game that has so much more, like, the story is incredible. The game plays. It's fucking crazy. And that's how I feel about the Legend of Dragoon. That's what I feel about the illusion of Gaia. So they were talking about, they drop, Blue Point is dropping hints, little cryptic

shit on their Twitter. And I was like, I'm going to explode like my head and my pants. if they fucking do the Legend of Dragoon. Demon Soul's cool. I'm not like, I don't need it, but that's cool if it exists. Yeah, I'd play it again, I guess. Yeah, I'd try it again. Yeah, that's cool, but like that's fucking crazy.

And one thing that I want, and this is something, I hate hipsters and Ubisoft have always been like, we don't want to make an Assassin's Creed Japan because it's too on point. Like, it's too obvious. And I was like, why take that away from people just because it's too, like on the nose because you know they're assassins, ninjas. What does that even mean? It's too on the, it's too on the nose. They want to go

against the grain. They want There's no grain. That's what I'm saying. You don't have a grain. It's Assassin's Creed. Shut the fuck up and give people what they want because I want to be a fucking ninja in the 1500s assassinating the shit out of people. I want to kill Shoguns while they're sleeping. And like, and bring in real because like the way that they do like the they had, so their voice had Dynasty Warriors and they broke it off.

They've always based it off of the, um, the, the, the, the, Anasties. And then so they also had samurai wars where they based it off feudal to Japan and they use real fucking people like Nobunaga, all these people that actually existed. And so it's the warring states. Now imagine that, like which is a huge thing. They just did total war three kingdoms for all the Chinese motherfuckers. So it's like just imagine you take the real shit and did an Assassin's Creed like Japan or whatever.

It would be because the way that they do Assassin's Creed now because I kind of got burnt out with the old ones because it's the same fucking game. and the people who diehard Assassin's Creed fans hated like Odyssey and Origins because it was so different they were like I didn't like it because I was like I enjoyed playing Odyssey because it was so different Yeah Assassin's Creed has never been a game that's been like Great because of the way it plays

Yeah it's great because it's cool because of a cool shit that happens It's the setting in the story I agree when you're not you know Desmond Exactly I'm glad they fucking I went when Desmond died I literally I actually You applaud? I clapped.

I clapped at the end of that game. Which did he died? In three? He perished. He fucking fainted. He like exploded pretty much. Faded away and I was like, I was... To save the world, he like exploded pretty much.

That's fucking dope. I was so happy. I couldn't believe how happy I was. And they got to the point where they stopped like... I think in the Odyssey, which I played, I actually put a lot of time into it. I think they did a modern sequence, maybe... two times and you can just like just kind of almost not even it was so irrelevant they're like okay we get it we get they don't care about these modern assholes but they still somewhat staying

connected i don't give a fuck about it i love the fact that i was just a a spartan pretty much and they had a lot of the amazing art like when you think about like the stuff that they created back in those thousands years ago yeah it's beautiful and the way that they mapped this shit very accurately blew my fucking mind. Just that alone, exploring that shit is dope. And so I'd just imagine to do that for fucking Japan. I would lose my mind. I would be like,

Ubisoft, you, you, you redeemed yourself. It's so weird to me that they just, that they wouldn't do it because it's too on the... That's so odd. I know what that means? That's like, that's like the bullshit. It's like, oh, we want to subvert your expectations. Yes. Yes. It's like, no, you don't have to do that. No one's asking for that. No one's asking for that.

Just make something good. You can subvert my expectations with something that I want. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Like that would be cool. Your own expectations. Yeah. Keep me what I want.

Yeah. Well, I mean, like, I don't know. Like, people have been talking about Assassin's Creed Japan for like a decade now. Like, literally. Since like, the Second Assassin's Creed existed. People said, people were like, oh, this would be sick in Japan. I can't wait for it to go to Japan. I would love to see Samarize.

They have freaking Haitians. There's, they do. There's no good reason for it not to exist. But especially now with like, you know, Sekaro and Ghost is Cheshima. Yes. Coming out. Oh, fuck. Gosuisma, dude.

I wonder how I was going to play. I'm so, like, intrigued by that game. I, I'm very, I'm very, I'm obsessed with Field of Japan, like, Middle of Japan. So I'm like, I'm all over it. I'm obsessed with the idea, like, I don't know, it's something about like, something about like this having a sword at your side. And a society where that was just like, that was like your gun, you know, that was like your fucking thing. Yes. That was, that's just so cool to me, something about, like, and this katanas look awesome.

I just, ah, man. Katanas are They're really badass And I love I love the idea of Of like a samurai And the discipline that goes into it Yeah

Or like say the way that I play I'm more of like say a Ronan Like just rogue and shit Yeah But there's And then the idea that The idea that ninjas actually existed Like say one of the most famous ones

So Tori Hanzo There's fucking things that like That like in Assassin's Creed And there's things that you heard When you hear about things Like there was a notorious thief That got caught And he was gonna be

burnt alive with his son like his baby son so they were to boil him in oil and he was holding his son over his head while he was like boiling and Hortori Hanzo saved his son like this is real movie shit that actually happened they document I'm like

ninjas existed that's so weird the idea that there's people cloaked in this shit and they bandanaed and they actually were so elusive and people couldn't fucking like kill them because they were too fast they literally like ran at a certain way so they wouldn't make noise doesn't that shim-sheam fake It's insane.

Like, it's just like, that's not real shit, but that's very real stuff. It does seem fake, but then like... It seems like anime shit, but it's like, no, that's real. Dude, it's getting to a point where, like, stuff that really happens is starting to just... Strange and infection. I was at a friend of mine's place, like, literally yesterday. We were just, like, it was a bunch of animators, and we were... It was, like, super late.

We were drunk and we were just talking. Yeah. And somebody brought up this article. This is not related to games at all, but I have to talk about it because it just blew my mind. somebody got a bone marrow transplant, right? Uh-huh. And apparently, and this is real,

the guy's DNA from the guy he got the bone marrow transplant from, became his new DNA. To the point where... He's replicating it. Dude, all his... His, the guy's semen

is 100% the other guy's semen. What the fuck is that? They told me that I was like, that's not real. You're talking shit. And I looked it up. up, I kept finding shit, and I was like, this is ridiculous.

Wait, how does that? Well, the marrow's, I don't understand. You're asking me. I know. I want to, I want to be a science person. That's insane. Entire, like, a completely rework. 100%.

That's an infection. That's a virus. That's how viruses do. Literally. That's how they do work. That's how they do work. Is he starting to look different? That's like, that's the next.

Actually, that's like the next. No, but I was jokingly. No, but I was thinking about, like, yeah, Siemens entirely him. It's like, this is like the joke that we talk about. I'm going to come to. Yeah, I'm going to come in your balls so when you have your kid, it's going to be my kid.

That's terrible. But you know what's fucking, dude, that is some shit. It really is. Because if we were able to live long enough, he would turn into that guy. I guarantee you. That's what happened. I don't like that. I don't like that. Fuck you.

Because that's crazy. If you got a bone marrow transplant when you're young and you're developing. This is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush.

I never, because the thing about me is, like, I never really understood how that works, like, bone marrow, because if blood comes from your bone marrow.

Like, that's, like, how it's, like, kind of created. Yeah. But it's just, like, I never really thought that, like, it would just, he literally is remapping another person. It's, like, adding Ahmad to something and it's changing what the thing is now. But, you know, okay, when I think about something. something it's somewhat it's freaky but then i thought about sometimes when you uh when you have transplants of uh of uh of organs yeah a lot of times you take on people's ailments and their

and their allergies yeah that's why you don't that's why you have to be careful with people like when you transplant organs that's okay yeah yeah so like it's it is there is always some what of a connection and people have always argued when when they like done heart transplants it's sometimes because there's a lot of neurons in your heart like you know your your brain fucking billions or whatever your your stomach and your heart has a bunch of them too so they're always like they have somewhat of a mind of their own. So when you transplant a heart, sometimes they've argued that like, I have memories that like I don't know where they came from. And I was like, are you fucking kidding?

I was like, fuck, shut the fuck up. That is, that is crazy. I can't believe it. Literally another thing that we just meme about. I'm going to take over you. I'm going to fucking become you. I've said get out of my heart so many times. Imagine, imagine, part of someone is this existing within their.

heart in you. And imagine they're a serial murderer and you have their memories of the people they've killed. You really hate K-pop and you're like, I fucking hate K-pop. God damn it. And then you got out of church and I'm like, I fucking love K-pop and I know it's not me loving it. I know it's not me. It's someone else loving this. You can't help but move when you hear it. It's like that Seinfeld joke of him getting a blood transplant is like I could feel his blood borrowing shit from my blood. It's just so fucking that just scares me man. Like I don't know, science is like cool and shit and like I respect it. I think it's like really neat. that that shit's possible.

Yeah. But it's also like I want no part of it. But you know it's fucked up? Oh, sorry. I was just going to say science is creepy because you know how

like some of the smartest people in the world are always warning us about artificial intelligence. Yeah. And the thing that does scare me is because there are scientists that are so rogue

that even that they're not supposed to do something, they're going to do it and it's going to fuck everything up. There are science, people back in the day were trying to ignite the atmosphere you know,

by like bombs in the fuck. fucking nuclear bombs in the fucking in the upper atmosphere. That shit is real. There is trying to create artificial black holes that could swallow the fucking Earth. And the hydrogen collider. Yeah, they literally, they're literally slamming neutrons together at such a fast pace that is creating small black holes. But they collapse in on themselves so fast. But I was just like, what if they just don't do that?

Like, that's what I constantly like, what if they don't do that? Like, what if you just fuck? Because science is not perfect. Of course not. No. Literally any smart scientist would be like, it's not 100%. it's what we know as of right now. Yeah.

Yeah. So it could very easily fuck up and the things will be so different that we can't exist in the world we live in. I don't mind that shit. I do. I don't mind. I don't mind a black hole because to me it's like this is going to suck the world up and like, whatever, we're all going to die. I don't got to worry about that shit. But like for me it's like the second it broaches the territory of like recoding a person to the point because it just gets to the point where you're uncomfortable.

aware that your body is just basically a PC. You know what I mean? Whereas like you just swap out components and then like at what point do you just like install more RAM into your brain so you can remember more shit you know? That's not even, it doesn't even sound like bullshit now. It just sounds like feasible. It doesn't even sound like far fetched or

bullshit. There's one that you go to hospital and like you know what? Give me pistons in my legs. That's what like all right. Like yeah I want to jump stories. Dude not even that. I mean just I'm going to jump up stories. Dude not even that just like I mean like biologically like not even like cyberpunk shit where you're getting like artificial

like robot legs or anything. I just mean like straight up like you could change your fucking blood. That's so insane. Like you can edit your kids. Yeah. When they're fucking gestating. We're literally that's you people are creating

the exact kids they want it. That's real. I can't have fucking believe it. It bothers that of me. It bothers me so much. You know you can hit your head and be a different person. That's yeah. That's wild. You could hit your head and your preferences change.

Dude. Fuck that shit. You can be fluent in a language You never fucking learned That's bullshit, man I hate that. There's people that have been Fucked up head injuries

And then they're fluent in Spanish I can't believe I can't believe that's true I can't believe that's true That's scary because like What's called? Like both of us come from Hispanic households And Spanish is in our brains

It's inside of our heads In their moments I remember phrased the Spanish I'm like, Ah man, I've never said this whole phrase before But it's in my head And like I hit my head one day and I can just speak Spanish fluently, but I'll lose English. So the way I think will be wrong, I'm like, I'm thinking hello, but I'm just saying

Ola. And it's like that's just that, nothing about that sits right in me. Because it's like, I don't want to. It's just how fragile and like, you know, we're just like, you know, we're just a cages. But also how supreme our brains are and how we don't understand them, how we don't understand consciousness. And think about this.

Think about how you could, uh, there is a, you could go like a lifetime, not. not knowing like a word. And then once you understand it, you're going to realize that you've been hearing it all the fucking time. Literally. And I remember this. I'll never forget the word,

uh, juxtaposition. Like when I, like, I don't know how many years ago, but that word is probably said a lot. But it's since my brain didn't process it.

And like, to me, it's like, it just would always wash over me. When I learn that word, I hear that word almost every fucking day now. Because I listen to so many podcasts and so many things.

People use it quite commonly. And I was like, what the fuck? I must have been hearing this all the time. and I just, my brain never realized it to me. It never relayed this is until it was interpreted. And I'm like, what, that's the fucking weirdest thing, bro.

Like, it's the weird thing how your brain will. Or I guess, I guess you guys have always seen, you've seen the chain letter that all the words in the middle are jumbled, all the letters, but the first and the last a letter are the same. And your brain can completely read it. So if it's like a word like work, like W-O-R-K and the R and the O are jumbled, but you'll completely. Understand what it is or a longer word as long as the first letter and the last letter are the same

The mid little words in the middle could be jumbled and you'll read it Fluidly like if you read the word dinosaur and all the middle words are messed up but the D and the R in the right place Yeah you will probably read the word dinosaur without even knowing it is dinosaur It's the weirdest fucking thing you'll just like autopilot like oh that's that it's like the blind spot you have It's fucking gross like over here. I don't know what's here. I guess my fingers here But it could be in another part of my fucking hand you ever think about the fact that like this is sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush, check out this special moment we did on our show presented by eBay.

It terrifies me. Well, I know the world exists. Yeah, I guess, sure. The world objectively exists. What do you mean? But, like, I was thinking, like, because we were talking about this yesterday, it's, like, if somebody, I'm getting to the point now where, like, my understanding of the universe has been shattered so many times that, like, I'm just accepting shit. I'm just going to accept shit. Like, somebody could come up to me and say, like, we were talking like, hey, guess what?

Abraham Lincoln was a fake person. He's, like, actually six people that was, like, simplified into one person for the sake of historical posterity. And I would be like, all right. No, I would argue at all. I'd be like, that sounds fine. I totally, yeah, whatever. That sounds entirely plausible. Even though there's a record of that person existing.

I don't know. I don't know. It can be fake. I don't know. Fuck. Yeah. As soon as I, like, the first time I, the first time I ever, like, question, like, started to be, like, freaking out and questioning shit. Yeah.

Ever on my life was when I realized that, like, the bottom of the ocean is dark. Like, I didn't understand. I thought, like, oh, you can just see in the ocean. Oh, because the, you didn't understand. I didn't like, penetrate that deep. I went, I went to, I went to, like, a 13-foot pool. Because, you know, in the Bronx, you don't give a shit about what the fuck kids do. So I jumped into a fucking like a 13 foot pool and as I went down it started getting darker

And I noticed it and I was just like Huh? Huh? Water is thick? Dark dark in water? I thought there's no dark here and I was I got out the pool and literally my perspective about water just changed and tired. That's a weird thing to have like your mind blown by. I became so much more sentient at that moment like I went from

I'm having this really tiny little view in the world to like blow in the fuck open. You know there's rivers underwater? You know, isn't that stupid? Like things like the logoons and shit. Like sponge bob ass. Like sponge bob ass shit like when you're a kid and you're like they're underwater, they can't be swimming in a lake. And it's like and then you're like, oh no, there are lakes underwater. And it's like how cool.

All right. I guess. Kid me. What the fuck? Like you know what I mean? That's kid me was stupid for thinking of that. Oh yeah. But I guess it was possible.

And then you realize when there's things like that they're real. It's the fucking craziest shit. I'm always, my mind is always continuously blown, especially speaking to like, people who actually know what the fuck they're talking about. Yeah, it blows your fucking mind. I always thought about like how languages, how they form and how certain things. And the thing, the thing that trips me out the most is when I was in a fucking drama class of all places, they were like, we're not doing shit today.

Watch this dumb ass thing about speech. And this motherfucker was like, most languages form and always. always start with an A because it's weird that no one talks to each other. It's because every basic thing we do starts with an A. If you get hit, the first thing out of your mouth is ah, like, ow. Or say, when you come, it's, oh. It's there are the most basic things that we do are all with the A. And I was like, it never even occurred to me.

Because I was always like, how do people form alphabets? That doesn't make fucking sense to me. Like the first people that made it like the first language and how every language became other languages. I'm like, who the fuck? When did they, when did other people was like, I'm going to start using the same language as this guy? because this thing is working out real well. I like the way this sounds. I don't want to speak this no more.

Let's speak this like fucking Latin. How Latin is like Italian, French, Portuguese, Spanish, how it's like, originates all of them. Like how to fuck did people just eventually start speaking the separate ones? That's like how the fuck. And they're not even that far from each other. To this day, that's still below the mind. It's just like how slang works. Yeah.

It's right. It's slang. I think that's what it is. Stubberness changes languages. Like I think, I think literally. Like when you shorten words and like just like make up new words like what the fuck is fan like no you're definitely you're definitely right But that's crazy think of it like this thing of like there's words that like uh like signoras and senjadas they mean the same thing you know yeah But like when it's a completely different word and like when it's it goes from like the word for two in Spanish and a word for two in um in a time are very different words yeah but they come from the same root like root language like when did they start calling them straight up different things yeah like i'm gonna call this that

that now. Yeah. Well, I'm sure you, uh, you do this, right? Where you,

where you have like a sentence that you want to fucking just get out. And you'll just like run over shit very quickly. And maybe you'll just like kind of skip vows or consonants that don't seem all that necessary. Yeah. Yeah. And then that's like the first, that's the first stage of a word changing.

Yeah. You know, because then like what. Trippy. I'm having trouble thinking of a, of an example, but I'm sure there's like, plenty of them.

I've heard like, probably. Probably. Probably is like one of those things. Probably is the word, but like most people say like, ah, probably. Oh, probably. Probably. Like, that's what I say.

I don't say probably. That's what I say, I don't say probably. So after like enough like time, it could just, it'll just turn into probably. And people type it probably sometimes. Yeah, they do do that. That pisses me off. That's a completely fucking different word. Like literally, just not even close to the same thing.

But everybody understands what it means. Yeah. It's so weird how like, how things just change over time. And it's, think about the word. Okay, this is something that makes me. feel fucking old every time I hear it when people say bet because bet

was always to me is like you want to bet you want a fucking bet like now it's like an assurance it's like oh yeah it's like cool like or yeah yes almost or like for sure like somebody I said not too long ago like oh do this and I'll buy your drink or something

oh bet and I'm like you know it's such a weird because I didn't grow up that way but that it is so acceptable now even people that are getting closer to my age are saying it. It's like acceptable. And I was like, I think this might be here to stay.

You know, like, because there's certain slang words that pass off, passable, but this thing seems, and I'm like, what the fuck?

I think in like 50 years, this is going to be totally normal and then, and it's just that forever. It's kind of like the way that people, people use them bad now. You know,

oh, that's bad. That's badass. No, that's bad. Oh, that's fire. Like fire. Fire is here to stay. Like something that's fire now.

Fire's here to stay. It's hot. That's hot. That's hot I've always been I've always been partial to sick I like sick It's very dope

It's very 90s But it's like it fits So everybody understands it Yeah Sick yeah that's true Like sick ill Rad is something that I actually was almost

It was kind of forced on me This is my friends that My friends that I gained in high school Like all sorry I never said rad before And then it was like Oh this is used almost every fucking day And then it just slid into me

The way that Arthur Morgan says sure and I was like fuck I I catch myself trying not to say it sometimes because he just infected me for me for me the weird one was um growing up in New York my uncle's always like you say word oh like and they would like yeah that's what they would say to me all the time and I started saying that when I was younger people are like what does that mean what the fuck to say word mean say word it's like what the that means yeah are you serious that's all it means like are you serious are you sure about English must be such a hard language to learn like a lot of people are like, ah, it's not, it's easy.

It's easy because we speak it, right? But like, the idea of like, no shit. Like, what the fuck does that? You say that to a person who knows objectively what those words mean, you're like, what? Why are you talking about that? There's no, what does that have to do it right now? Right now has nothing

do with that. It's clearly there's no shit around you. What are you talking about? Brother. Just using brother is like, I'm not your fucking brother. What are you talking about? Like, bro? It's like, that's my bro. It's like, no the fuck I'm not. I know you.

You're not my bro. You're my brother. I only have one brother. Get out of here. I'm gonna kill you. I'm threatening you. I'm threatening you. Get the fuck out of here.

I'm gonna kick you down this escalator if you don't back up. It's, ah, dude, it's weird. I know we went way far from like our video game discussion, but that's how. That's pretty, because it's a seamless transition in the different conversations.

I feel like that's, I feel like that's my favorite. Yeah. It's when things don't like have like an abrupt, you know, like, and now we're going to be talking. talking about whether or not you can fit an entire shark up your ass.

And then this conversation is that for 10 minutes. I'll let you guys get a little. I'll let you know on a peek at that. You can't fit a whole shark up your ass. And if you do, then I, God bless you. I have seen some pretty amazing thing. I can't like that I'm shocked and odd. I used to work at.

The human body is wild. Fuck, dude. I used to work at Amazon almost a decade ago. And the shit that I would work in the, Is that back when they had human rights? That. It was actually back when it was a little bit worse, actually. Oh, wow.

It was worse. Worse than now is pretty intense. Yeah, it was, I worked my way up to a better position because I was doing, you were a picker where you would get the stuff in a, in a warehouse that was a quarter mile, pretty much. It was the biggest building I've ever seen in my life. And sometimes you need to walk to the other end and back, so you would almost walk half a mile just to get one fucking item. How many support? Jesus, fucking that's fucking that. How many support beams are in a building like that?

Dude, the building, like, I can't even, I can't, your brain can't, like, articulate and, like, how big that building was. I've heard that Gamescom, like, the place that Gamescom takes place in Germany or whatever is like that, where it's like, the building is, like, several city blocks. That's insane. You can't fathom that when you try to, like. But it's, like, open. It's, like, the museums in New York City are, like, multiple city blocks.

Yeah. But they're, like, divided into understandable rooms. But like, but like in the Gamescom building in Germany, it's like, it's the same space, but like open and like real tall. That would just get me nervous. Yeah. It's a little weird. It's like open water. You know what it is?

It's because like there's nothing. There's no parameters that you can see. Yeah, you don't know what you're getting close to. I mean, I'm in, I'm near people. Yeah. That's all I can tell. There's so many people near me. The hell is I.

Oh, no. I was just, dude. Wow, that was a weird, like, the whole thing about the Amazon thing. Yeah. Was when I actually started packing some of the stuff where I got to like stand in one place and it was like really fucking easy. Hey, it's Jay Shetty from On Purpose.

Check out the best of a moment we did, presented by eBay. I'd never owned a vintage camera before. There was something about it that felt almost unnecessary in a world where everything lives on our phones. But I wanted to change that. So I started the hunt for a point-and-shoot. camera. When I finally found the perfect one on eBay, I didn't keep it to myself, I left it out on a table. Always within reach, people started picking it up without asking, family, friends, everyone

to take a photo of whatever felt important to them in that moment. There was no editing, no retakes, you took the photo and that was it. The moment became real right away. It was about choosing something. Deciding this matters, even if it came out blurry, the vintage camera belonged to the room, to the moment, to the people in it. Over time, the photos started to pile up. on the fridge, on shelves tucked into books. Each one a reminder that meaning isn't always planned. That's what I appreciate about eBay. It's a place where you can find things that bring people together

and pass along things you no longer need, so they can become part of someone else's memories. To listen to more, check out the full episode wherever you get your podcasts.

I was like how can your ass do that? Yo anal integrity is impressive dude it's fucking wild man anal integrity I've seen some shit where like I've seen some videos where I just get disgusted like I'm excited to my god man I'm ready for I'm ready for this And I'm just watching, I'm like, like, you can, you don't need to hurt yourself like that.

There have been times, there have been times where I like, I'm, like, I got to get this out of me, man. Like, I got to focus. And I see things. I'm just like. Ruined.

I appreciate slamming a woman's bottom. But the thing is, but the thing is, like gaping, like that shit is so fucking gross to me. Oh, no, don't even talk about that.

I don't want to hear about this. I thought it was a flower the first time I saw because it was closed up. Oh, that's a wet flower. I don't want to. And I was like,

no, I was like, this is a very wet flower. I don't want to hear this. And then I was, I was in awe. Like, I'm not even talking about the prolapse.

I'm just talking about it gaping. Like before it prolapses Just that alone is so fucking disgusting to me It's nutty And that's like sometimes it would be Those were in the days of I'm not really a porn guy anymore I don't know what happened to me

It just killed I think younger me like Watch too much And then it's just done Like I don't really care about it that much It's only in those rare When I'm like it's like It's like flipping a switch

I just want to like just relax real quick Just get it over with You know what I'm saying It's like a chore Yeah so like all right whatever But the whole thing is, yeah, back in the U-Porn days, it was U-Porn Red Tube and all those things. It was all the shit like that. Now the only time I watch anything porn-related is because of that website, E-Fucked.

It's adult comedy. It's just like. It's the funniest bloopers. It's so good. One of our friends is super fucking warped. Like, he's like worse than any of us. And he puts that shit on and laughs his ass off. And I'm like, who does this?

It's fucking great though. Paul does do that. Freaking, he's fucking, he takes the cake. But like the shit I've seen on those websites, I'm just like, yo, this is not funny. Paul is, uh, Paul's is the most insane. He's crashed team warped, bro, like fucking out of his mind. He's fucking crash bandicoot warps, like for real. I love that, um, you know, one thing as far as when I think of EFucked, it's like a, it's like a half and half good and bad thing where I think of, when I think about EFucked, I think about watching it with my ex-girlfriend.

Like I love that we were able to bond over something so fucking ridiculous But at the same time it makes me think about like that period where it's like oh that's somewhat depressing Because like we're not together or whatever But at the same time it does it's kind of nice that if you can find a significant other that can watch something so fucked up And not shame you you know they actually wanted to join in and watch this fucked up shit My current girlfriend is absolutely Not as fucked up as I am Like, she's, she can deal, like, she deals with, like, what our household is.

Yeah. But. It's a pretty toxic environment. But, like, she can't, she can't get on board with some of it. Because, like, we are just, it's volatile in here. Like, if people, if we cried, if we let our emotions ever just inside of us, it would be bad. What do you mean? Like, like, held it?

Like, what do you mean? If we ever let ourselves feel really. Yeah. Because we're all so fucking just screened off to everything. That's not true. I feel like you would make like therapists quit their jobs. I've said. I've said and I've thought shit.

Like I've said some fucked shit. But the things I think and I'm like, I can't say that are just bad. Yeah. They're just like. But the problem is that the problem is that in our household, we say whatever the hell we want all the time. All the time.

Like there's no filter. There's no word none. there's no word in the English language that is not said or not allowed here and it gets to the point where it's just like you walk outside and you have to adjust to that because you have to realize like oh I just

I can't say that I make some of the jokes I can't say I'm going to American dragon my dick across your face for a Jake long ass time I can't say that and I was I said some shit about like I hope some I hope your son goes missing and you find him in your freezer

or some shit like that like your portable fridge. I said it to somebody and then they were like that's not funny that's really fucked up and I was just like oh

for real you were just angry at me and you wanted to say something to hurt you but that's like I love that that animalistic part of our brain when you're frustrated

you're like you look at the you assess the situation you're like hurt this is the lowest common denominator attack of this you know like

that's that's what we do and there's a lot of people that are very good of containing that but look it look it I got a little bit of shit

a couple weeks ago, because we were just talking about the Legend of Dragoon remake or whatever. When those hints were dropped, I'm serious, I was like, if they're fucking with us,

like, Blue Point's fucking with us, I said, and I didn't realize, like, there's a few people like, hey, man, you shouldn't say that.

I was like, I'm gonna Timothy McVey your headquarters. Like I said that, like, if they're fucking with us. And then people are like, hey, man.

That might be a bit. That might be a bit much to tweet. That woke me up a little bit. That made me feel something. I was like, oh, nice. Isn't that the abortion clinic bomber? It's kind of like,

he was, he bombed the OKC, um, okay C government headquarters building. He was inspired by the Waco. Because when they, when they, when they,

right, right, right. Yeah. So he blew up the federal building and it killed a bunch of babies and like a bunch of people. Yeah. It was very. But see,

this is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush. Check out this special moment. We did on our show presented by eBay. When I was living in Chicago, I took part in my first ever giant charity sale, and I was able to auction several items from my personal closet on eBay. They were items that marked huge moments in my life and in my career, and though I was ready to pass them along, I also wanted to make sure they were going to someone who would

love them. One of the things I loved the most about doing this with eBay is there was a way for everyone to shop. It wound up being so much fun to see where each and every item was going, where it was going to be loved. And in passing items along like that, authenticity really matters to the person who's getting them. That's why I love eBay's authenticity guarantee. They weren't just listing my items. They were verifying them, making sure something was genuinely from where it claimed to be, in this case, my closet. To listen to more, check out the full episode wherever you get your podcasts.

something bad happened and I remember being like Like, this is comedically ridiculous. So I remember you to move it out. It was like some like, I can't remember if it was like a like a shooting or something or like so. It was something, right? But like I use the word comedically because it's like I just use it as like saying like ridiculous. Yeah. It's almost funny.

Yeah. Not even. It's just like comedic. It's just I don't like saying ridiculous because it's just an overused term. It's like this is this is comedically ridiculous. Okay. This is comedic. This is fucking comedic.

You know? It's like absurd. It's just. And people were like, what's so comedic about? I was like, oh my God. I forget that you people aren't around me all the way. The manner in which his body hit the ground and exploded immediately. That was hilarious.

There's definitely some things that, like my friends and I that grew up with, we can't, we can never share it without, like, there maybe even you guys would be like, all right, I don't want to see this because, like, something that we've been doing recently is tweeting Disney gay porn or texting. Oh, dude. Everyone has those Gup chats. Me and Chris go back and forth with that and then my coworkers

for my job. The first text I got for one of my coworkers after we became friends, we hung out a few times. He sent me a picture of a baby without arms and legs and I showed you this one.

And it said, New fleshlight here to stay. And I could not, I could not believe it because all it did was just make me smile. I was like,

oh, this is great. And I said to to everyone I could. I hated that. I got that image and I couldn't stop crying. That's fucking amazing. That shit is fucking raunchy, bro. That's what I love.

It doesn't end. That's what I live for that shit. Like fucking triple X or I live for that type of fucking horrible shit. It just feels me in a way. It's because I'm fucking damaged and I'm from the fucking 90s and I'm millennial, most likely. But it makes me feel so warm inside. See it like that.

Yeah, I can't. I can't. know my parents or even my cousins any of that shit really. Like my older cousins like they would be like what the fuck What is that? Oh yeah no way Are you crazy?

Are you insane? Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. I think? I probably yeah. Like it's just like I'm not dangerous. I worry like people that are you know People call them normies now.

Like I worry about like their their level of fun they're having. I was like you've never seen something so absurd so fucked up that you can't help but laugh at it that you've never felt that before? Like you feel what sad or pity? Like it's when I see like fucked up. It's just, I'm like, dude, that's so, it's so good. I feel sad when shit happens, but it's also like... Legitimately happened, sure.

Yeah, but it's also just like, there's so much horrible shit happening. That you get overwhelmed with it. That it just gets to the point where it's like, yeah, of course that happened. What a surprise. Are you fucking kidding? Dude, I feel fucking stupid that I couldn't share, oh, I could have, but I knew I would get, I was, I was, I was going to get shit. Because it's not even that bad. It was just a picture of Greta Thumburg, the Times person of the year or whatever.

it was just her saying how dare you but she was so fucked up like the way that she was drawn she looks so retarded and like it's the funniest thing to me and I wanted to like put it on Twitter but I knew I would just get a wave of shit

because people were so sensitive did you see that image of Greta Thunberg with Ben Shapiro's face on it? No oh my God I thought about it was like Ben Shapiro's face on Greta Thurthumburg and I thought about tweeting like

let's say hypothetically that you destroyed my childhood I didn't tweet it because I was like I don't want to make fun of the kid I also had like another tweet where I was like what is it Hillary Clinton makes me understand misogyny or something I was like I love it I don't mean that but like I know if I think it's funny but like if I tweeted out people are going to be like fucking crazy I'm I'm I got to lighten up on my tweets

because I just tweet whatever your tweets are fucking your tweets are fucking stupid because you don't know how to spell shit I'm really bad at grammar your name is misspelled you You understand that? No, it's not. I change this. No, no, no, no, no. That's not your name, bitch. That is not your name. That's not what I'm saying.

I'm not even saying you're at, which is also wrong. What? You're easily editable, like, what is it even called? Like, the header name? The head, yeah, whatever. Your header name is misspelled. It's been misspelled for a long time. It's not, you are Sweeney.

You are your own entity. What is your, what does your thing say? It's Tom Sweeney, the, uh, which are, uh, the thankful, the thankful spirit of ignorance, I think. The thankful spirit of ignorance. I'm gonna read it right now. Tom Sweeney, the thankful spurt of ignorance. That's even better, actually.

How have you not noticed that? That's even better, actually. But it's not even, the spurt isn't even capitalized. It's just so weird the way you write shit. It's even better that way. Frustrates me. Maybe it just frustrates me because I'm like an English person. Yeah.

And I like fucking nailed everything that had to do with like English and high school and shit. My dumb ass braid fucking skirted over that. too. I didn't even notice. I read that and I immediately like I went I woke up one day and I read that and I went back to sleep because I actually got so mad because it's so easily fixable. Honestly, the spurt sounds better now. I think we'll spread it. That just sounds better. Spurt is fine, but at least at least fucking catalyze the ass. It's driving me insane. Oh, man. I'll, I fucking love it. I love it. It's just a thing now. It's just what happens. I'm going to misspell something. Fuck it. Let's go. Let's see what happens. I mean, if you take pride and in and retardation. I mean, that's, that's good, man. You know me, man. You know me? Small bus a whore, you know.

Oh, my God. Well, that's a lot. That's a lot of shit we just said. Oh, yeah. On record. So, uh, how do you segue out of this? I mean, if we had questions, it would be great. Yeah, it would be ideal.

It would be ideal to have questions. But, uh, next episode we'll have questions. I don't know when this is going to go live. I assume, uh, you'll figure that out when you're fucking listening to this and you guys can figure that out to be perfectly honest with you. I'm going to be in New York until the 11th of January. I'm leaving on the 29th. So chances are you're probably hearing this sometime in that time frame. This is going to be a weekly thing with this very group of people. I feel like I have to do some housekeeping because it is kind of like a weird shift if you're

not used to it. But the positive thing here is that you're going to get a Star Tank pretty regularly. And I think this is pretty easy to do. I think we can maintain this. Oh yeah. This is super easy. Barely an inconvenience. That's fucking terrible. So. Barely inconvenient. So thank you guys for tuning in.

So that's going to be it for us today. Consider, you know, maybe checking out the Patreon. It's not set up yet, but by the time this is out, it will be. Again, just a dollar, and then you can, like, write in your questions and we'll read them and we'll fucking answer some of them on the show. We obviously won't get through all of them. Maybe we'll do, like, maybe, like, Sweeney and I, like, we'll do, like, extra shit, you know, and like go through some of the stuff that we miss that we can't catch up with.

Yeah. Well, yes. And yeah, that's about it. I hope you guys had a good time, and I'm going to go edit this now because we've got two hours at this point. Oh, okay. Which is actually kind of insane. Wow. That's a lot. So bye-bye, everybody. Later, baches. Should we have a sign off? Mm-hmm. Make a good night. Dunstores Double Savers has everything you need for a tasty packed lunch.
