and I'm just gonna go down the line Che Houston Leon we got everybody back we're doing like a Brady Bunch fucking episode

yeah we got a five feet off and you have five people on there yeah we're hung over that's why we look like ass you just see a decline in all these podcasts once a week it's just this wrong, we're hung over. That's why we look like ass. You just see a decline in all these podcasts once a week.

It's just this broadcast. Just hung over from earlier today. It's like 7pm right now. Like, oh, it hurts. Okay, do you actually have questions? Is this like a real thing? What was one of your favorite podcasts on this? Because you said it was. Oh, okay. Not like

a podcast. One of my favorite unsubscribed podcasts. It was the Leon Lutz episode. What was One of my favorite unsubscribed podcasts. It was Leon, right? It was the Leon Lush episode. What was one of your least favorite? JT and Caleb. Did he write down? He wrote that down, didn't he? That's not fair.

That's easy. This is Batty's watch. This one and Leon Lush's are my two favorite episodes. This was the JT episode and then Leon Lush. So someone's like, I was like, Batty's gonna hate one of these and one will be his favorite. And then the comment is a dude's just like, love this JT episode.

Those are my two favorites. Yeah. That's amazing. I know the episode that Batty hates. The JT is the one you just did, right? Yeah. So yeah. It was pure chaos, like unfiltered. My ride. It was, the JT episode was like-

A movie script. No, it was not a movie script. It was not a movie script it was it was like an acid trip a very bad like it was the drunkest I've ever been and somebody's like dude just take a quick hit yeah I just sat there like what is happening Maddie said like 10 words no that's what it felt like J Jared. Jared from Black Rifle. Yeah. Oh, okay. It went just to the moon and back.

You just smoked some crazy weed that put you in a grave. That's what it felt like. I didn't actually. But it was so chaotic. That's what it felt like. Yeah. I was sober, actually, for that entire episode. Yeah, that was the only one.

That's probably why you hated it, too. No, no, no. I could have been pissed drunk and still sat there Like I was watching a car wreck. I was having a blast. I was laughing Comfortable I can't smoke weed. I can't smoke weed. I had like a stroke like what, six years ago? Damn. Like an actual stroke? That's what they all say.

What? They all say that. I went blind. I couldn't walk. You did. From smoking weed? No. You made fun of him for it.

Yes. So you smoked weed and had a stroke? So I had a ocular vestibular attack thing and I had a secondary attack from smoking weed after I did it. Damn. That is some good ass weed, bro. So I had a secondary attack from smoking weed after I did it. Damn. So I do not smoke weed, bro. Let me get some of that skunky shit. Holy fuck, you had a stroke?

Let me take a fucking three and a half. Did me? I'm tired of this fucking low-grade pharmaceutical bullshit I get in the dispensaries right now. I want that fucking, I want that stroke butt. Blind couldn't walk or move for a week. That's like when you're about to start watching a movie. It's like, if you have epilepsy, you might not. I'm like, oh, this movie's fucking sick.

This movie could fucking kill me. Honey, turn on the smoke machine. We're about to get fucking seized up. Oh, shit. Oh, the finale's coming up. Oh, fuck dude, that hits so good. Is that what I'm okay with saying? Let me just quit getting J-O-ed.

Epilepsy jokes are fine. I feel like those aren't really like tier A offensive shit. They're like C tier offensive jokes. I think they're kind of low. I think they're low effort. I mean, no, even people that have epilepsy. Fuck, before these jokes, put in flashing screens so they don't hear it.

I don't know what you mean. Oh, oh! Oh, oh! Okay, that was kind of funny. Hey, there we go! I hate this slow registration on the joke. It took me seconds. God damn, rude.

Yeah, hit us with some fucking, some disco ball before that so they won't be around for the joke anyways. Oh, they're just coming to what happened. See, they're good. Well, we wish they're coming to. To be fair, epilepsy isn't only flashing lights. Well, fucking Netflix would make you think otherwise. Because I was actually, on this point, I was watching a movie with my wife. It was this week.

It was maybe five days ago. And there was an epilepsy warning. And Benny was like, just for whatever. There's flashing lights. And she was perplexed. She's like, they do this on Netflixflix she's like i haven't seen something like this in forever i'm like honey there's trigger warnings in front of like everything oh yeah it's normal yeah on twitter posts there's trigger warnings so i guess maybe it was on

netflix it's less common so she was a little taken aback by that but for me who lives terminally online yeah terminally yeah everything i see is like tw fucking tw that's not tw i'm talking about penis i think a lot of guys now it's fine they don't like if you want to have that warning you have to go through a bunch of loops and shit so a lot of people if there's flashes they'll just take them out so whoever kept it kept it in they're like no, this is important. They're just like, if it's integral to the scene, they're like, it's storytelling. Yeah, exactly. Because there's some data analyst that's like,

if we put this warning at the beginning of the movie, that's fucking annoying. Like, how is that going to affect our watch time on Netflix? They're like, no, the fucking, the disco scene is integral. We cannot cut back. Jump through the hoops. Put in the warning. Close your eyes. You would have amazing watch time if everyone was having a stroke.

Okay? They won't turn off that shit. They're stroking out. They're stroking out. They're J-O. This is why you're fucking alone. This is why you're alone on the camera. They're S-O-ing.

I just think it was a good idea. You stroke everyone out. You have the best watch time ever. Okay? I like that it gives me the opportunity to kind of pop into frame with him and say things alongside of him. Do you think Netflix wants you to hit the, hey, are you still watching screen? Are you still stroking?

Yeah. You're still stroking. Are you doing a leopard? I'm a man. I'm never stroking? Are you doing a lepidopathy? I'm a man. I'm never stroking that long, dude. I'm done in two or three talks. This all started, so I will say to bring us back down to earth, this started with me being surprised you had a stroke.

I guess we might have talked about this. We were probably drunk. Yeah. And I'm totally sober now, which is crazy. So we might have talked about this on a previous podcast, but that was, I'm totally sober now, which is crazy. Yeah. But so we might've talked about this on a previous podcast, but that was unrelated to weed, but then you then smoked and it exacerbated the stroke. Yeah. And that was the last time you smoked weed.

No stoners hate to hear it. Snoop dog can't believe it. Stoners hate him. Yeah. Smoke weed and don't have a stroke challenge. Impossible. That thumbnail's so good! His red eyes.

It's just fucking bad he like, he's got like the- The kid that's trying to hold it in. He's got like the Sam Hyde thumbnail. Holding his heart. Yeah. It's like a half and half screen. Part of it's like his blood flow. It's like, is there any particles in there?

And they're like, no. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. like the sham hide thumbnail holding his heart yeah it's like a half and half screen part of it's like his blood flow it's like is there any particles in there and they're like watching to

see if anything flies in his brain just living the dream over there baddie i will say i'm glad you made it through and uh so the prognosis you went to the doctors and they're like you had an actual stroke not an actual stroke? Not an actual stroke. It's the easiest way to describe it. I went blind and I lost my equilibrium. It's like nonstop vertigo. So I couldn't walk, move.

I couldn't see. But you obviously went to the hospital. Yeah. Oh, yeah. What did they tell you? What was the prognosis? Like why? I had a virus that affected my ocular vestibular nerve.

So the nerve that goes between your inner ear and your eyes. And it just cooked that off So my equilibrium stopped working Which caused my brain to go like that flight or flight panic mode fight or flight panic mode and it gave me what's called a horizontal nystagmus which means your eyes flickered so fast Didn't mean to giggle as you were explaining that, but. Yes, you did. Dude, it was funny as shit. I was just thinking, like, you go into the doctor for that and you're like, man, you got some bitch ass lungs.

Yeah, like. Dude, your brain is so weak. Yeah. That bitch ass brain. The doctor talks like that. Your lungs are so shit, it fucks up your ocular nerve. Actually, that sounds terrible.

It wasn't great. It wasn't great. I had to walk with a cane for like six months. A couple points I want to make on that is I think it's, A, it's good that it wasn't related to actual cardiovascular health. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bonus for you. B, I think the second point to that is that we take for granted,

two is also B. Okay. Second letter of the alphabet yeah sure b just for you can't do it on command silent which i love it is that we take for granted the pivotal role that our equilibrium plays and it all starts in our eardrum oh yeah super fucked up so i have an i have an uncle who i don't know what it's called. It's a super rare disease where like your shit in your ear just fucking breaks, basically. And like you have these vertigo episodes where like he would just be like walking and fall to the ground and like not be able to move. I still have it. Lost his license. Like couldn't fucking drive like the whole nine yards.

Eventually got to a point where it's like, hey, you can continue having this condition and, like, have these episodes randomly. You can't drive. Or we can drill into your eardrum and take the whole motherfucker out. So he's like, get it out of me. And they fucking ripped it out. So he has one ear now. Yeah, so he can't hear out of one ear.

Like, they had to take the whole thing out. But, like, he can live without just randomly falling to the ground. Which is fucking sad. Have you guys tried having better ears? Thank you you i told him the same thing which is crazy and he was like i did try that didn't work out i couldn't afford it mexican that's literally what i have now uh mine's obviously not that extreme anymore for about a week it was like that and then it got better over time because nerves and your brain are shit and i was just

like sometimes i'll be walking i'm like never mind let's start going still have vertigo yeah i have horrible vertigo running is the thing that that makes it like running in a straight line which is weird to say straight because your your brain though you're curving literally no straight legit if i was running on a track in like a circle it's not as bad but a straight line sidewalks get to be the worst it fucks with my depth perception which gets your my equilibrium is like what because my my equilibrium is really bad so it relies on my eyesight more so things like my depth perception can fuck with it and cause vertigo attacks damn that's wild i'm taking you camping

dude if a bear comes i'm like yo Damn. That's wild. Brace yourself for playing with you. I'm taking you camping. I'd be happy to. Dude, if a bear comes, I'm like, yo, so I'm just gonna go. Zombie apocalypse is me and Patty. Bro, someone's got dope ears over here. When the bear comes, he's running on the sidewalk right away. Yeah.

He just fucking went, yeah. I'm handing out fake pamphlets like, yo, bears can't walk on concrete. You know what I'm saying? Oh, fuck. It's wrong circles are on the bear. Kick it, man. Kick it, man.

I'd be like, I'm gonna go even deeper. Because it's so good. All right, look at the my anime list on it. It's all like We I like him telling us the one piece together Making up shit I can see one finds the piece. Huge moment for me. Emotional.

I wonder what Eli says. Get your mind. Me? Oh, man. Okay, I've been bouncing a couple in my head. Okay, there's, I would either choose, I would go Castlevania. Oh. Castlevania, obviously English-focused anime.

There's a little cheating, but it's great. Castlevania, picking which freak out is a little hard. I love when the chick puts on the day armor, and she just starts fucking chopping people to shit. Oh, and Berserk. She went Berserk. Yeah, she goes hella Berserk. It just murders all the humans.

They literally say that. We took her from berserk. Yeah. And there's that. There's also when, what's her name? The main chick when she pops off. That's dope. When fucking, what's his name?

The main, what are the lineage called in that show? Oh, the high vampire? No, no, the vampire slayers. Belmonts. Oh, the Belmonts. belmont's oh the belmont when he pulls out the second whip and then he's fucking whipping the dude with the morning star and the i was like fucking coming all over it's like when he fought jared though i i don't believe that that is a perfect pick

but if i was gonna go like anime anime i'll go my hero and when the dude when they're doing that whole basement fight thing and the guy's eating the different things to have different powers and he has the Kraken power versus overhaul. Yeah. Yeah. That's the one that's leading to the overhaul. He's fighting the three goons. He's fighting the three goons and he eats like crab and octopus and he's like, has the Kraken power that comes up. Yeah.

Do the end. He's like, oh, fuck. It's like the guy poisons the guy with the up yeah to the end he's like oh fuck yeah it's like the guy poisons the guy with the shit i'm like yo that part's fucking sick one either that either the whips or the fucking kraken i would go with dude these are fucking those are good that was a good description i'm now kind of mad i haven't seen i think in pictures that's how i might i just like you were like see you made fun of it so I'm a little upset attack on titan which one no I love that's one of my favorite anime not no levi yes oh levi versus the beast titan oh it is peak it's as good as it gets he's literally just the tiniest angry little man you know that that uh 10 10 15 seconds

of that took three months to animate really yes it was a one key animator that did that and it was like a three month process of him doing all those frames yeah which is that's what you love to hear it makes you cooler yeah the amount of work that went into that short period of love well you're missing out leon because it is like yeah you're missing everyone's sacrificing Yeah, the amount of work that went into that short period. The love. The frame by frame love. Well, you're missing out Leon, cause it is like everyone's sacrificing themself for that one moment too. It is like everyone dies, everyone dies,

everyone dies but one. And they're like, hey, you have to fuck these dudes up. And he's like, we're dying. We just gave him the worst fucking spoiler to one of the best shows. He's not gonna remember any of that. No, that's fine, that's fine. And I do, that is enticing for me.

I love the characters. The charge? The charge, oh my God, it's so good. I like stories where you build up, you know, you have a relationship with the characters and then near the end of the show, they climax by killing everyone you love. That's the shit I like.

Well, you would love Attack on Titan then. Okay, so. Oh, you'd really like Attack on Titan. Attack on Titan's good for like, you'll fall in love with characters and within the first season they're like, within the first five episodes, everyone you love, no one's safe.

Dead. Yeah. People get murdered. Game of Thrones style, like everyone just dies. Yeah, people get murdered, dog. Then you learn a new character, like a secondary character becomes. This one will stick around.

This one's safe. Attack on Titan's a great... If you don't like anime, because anime is really just television. It's put into this very nerdy box, but it is, in terms of storytelling quality, it is just television. Yeah.

Attack on Titan's a great point to start because it is just mainstream. attack on titan is a great point to start because it is just mainstream a little more accessible oh yeah exactly yeah because there are some weird japanese things in like my hero where people like sniffing panties and you're like now demon player demon player is a good intro too like yeah until season two i haven't seen season two yet oh okay oh it goes wait oh titties trying to say about season two it I am there all season two yet. Oh, okay. Oh, hey. Oh, please It's great, but if you're not in the anime, it's a little weird because that guy's married No, because I'll dress women for like an entire arc. Oh, yeah, that's fine The main characters doesn't matter you get to see the most orgasmic animation of all time. Oh, it's so beautiful

It is it is a flashy Yes, I didn't know how much you knew about no he oh, yeah Yeah, I knew you were a nerd motherfucker I love it. I got body. That's another tough one I like the Demon Slayer any Demon Slayer boss boss fight is the animation on that show is unreal. It's UFO Table. When she gets the fucking fire, like when she gets the ability,

like my demon power is like lighting my blood on fire. I'm like, yo, I remember being like- Mommy? I'm like fucking literally- Yeah, she's like, shh. And then it's like goes through the fucking webs. Have you guys watched the Fate stuff? Yep.

So from UFO Table, same people that do demon slaver I have what's it called fate it's good you don't I mean it's a fucking terrible

it's such a big nest of like lore and different animes it's so hard to figure out where you start but some of those movies

are like some of the best like animated films you'll ever watch in your life just to fight the choreography and everything love that if i go for one it is i have a couple where i'm just like oh but my it's like the i'll have two freakouts guts if you say i swear to god 100 the 100 man the 100 merc when he kills 100 people

that shit the most gangster 100 man slay ever oh my god you know what you know what when he kills those 100 dudes

and he earns that name that is the most violent episode possible I like that and then 100 um

100 x 100 you're going adult gone adult gone yeah that's pretty good the best fucking anime freakout honestly that was like the before that 100 x 100 did you watch that no no no Hunter x hunter you going a dog on a dog on yes pretty good best That was like the out before that watch that oh That's one that's one of the ones I've heard a lot about yeah

That's a top one to introduce people to I think though well it starts it's ten episodes and it's like oh my god We're on an adventure and you're like oh, it's a kid show. This is fucking dope. It's like now everyone's dead I mean literally like we made it made it to 100 half of the people die and violently and you're like what the fuck and then everyone's dying oh this is not a child what the fuck is going on all of a sudden this shit did a complete it's about the the new new york or whatever arc it is what i forget what it Like, they're in that city and there's like a whole gambling. Oh, yeah. The tournament. Yeah, yeah.

I think a little bit after that, but like... No, it's after they've done the tournament. Yeah, yeah. After they get their license. It gets really dark and then, you know, they go into the Chimera War Ant arc

and that's what you're talking about. Honestly, one of the best, like, peaks of a show I've ever seen. And then it just ended. And it's like the best... Yeah. The best villain arc you will ever see I don't want ruin it because I do suggest okay. We talked about it. Okay. Is that like One of the best characters yeah, I love his okay. You can't you didn't like him. No. He's weird as fuck That's why he's good. He likes children. That's why he's good. Please defend his

again. He's got pink skin. Okay, he likes children. It's a bunch of gum and has the same properties of rubber and gum, okay? He likes children. Well, guess what? So I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever bounces off him sticks to you. Okay, he likes children. Well, I guess what? Put up sneak

Seriously don't like that because there has to be a suspension of disbelief for fictional things. I agree. I like pissing people off with that one. It's very profound. But people like Twitter warriors really like, you know, they try to like gang pile on anime stuff, which is all fantasy. I don't know why people need to get so mad about fantasy.

To some extent. Like if I'm watching Game of Thrones and Jamie's fucking his sister. I'm like that's hilarious It is it's fantasy. It's so far. I might just like stroke a little Like in my mind, I know they're not related in real life, but I'm going to play into the fantasy. I'm going to get my money. I'm going to get my money.

Any category you're interested in, not that I've watched them, I just. You've scrolled by them. Yeah, you know, I read the comments sometimes. You know, sometimes there's like Barack Obama in the company to be fair who the fuck Barack Obama videos dude Oh, they're really smart and witty people. I there's like sometimes they're funny

I saw once that was a screen cabin someone said I like that. She's a little bit ugly Wait, did we transition to porn comments? Oh, yeah. We're back in your wheelhouse. Now you're back at home. I'm awake. That's a funny comment. That's good. Yeah, so porn comments are hilarious, but I've only ever seen them because of Reddit. I've never been. That's a funny comment. That's good.

Porn comments are hilarious, but I've only ever seen them because of Reddit. I've never been there. No, I never love your comments. You know what? God bless. I grew up Baptist myself. Mr. Tentacle Porn himself. Never watches it.

Mr. Niche Anti. Very niche. Niche Anti. Yeah, very niche. It's very popular. I like porn titles that are like crazy. Oh, dude. They try to hit every keyword through the whole way. Different version of clickbait. One of my favorite. Those motherfuckers make cake, man. They get advertised too, just like we do.

I fucked my cousin while a tornado's going on. Yeah, so. Oh my God, check it out. I fucked Kelly's fat ass got stuck in the playhouse and i fucked her like you have these long ass names that exist as porn titles it's good situation amateur shit too i saw one where it was like it was referencing some porn so i can't remember who it was but it was like such and such does like fucking bangs on vacation blah blah blah and then at the end in brackets it said original tits so i was like she got her tits done which i

thought was hilarious crazy her classics it was a free tit job yeah that's original tits is such that's a band name anytime you do like parentheses at the end of a title you know it's gonna be super like oh like reaction or like sad emotional but original tits that's the emotion i'm looking for. The title's already 175 characters. Yeah. If you made it to original tits before clicking the video,

you might be getting it. You don't see it when you click the video. It's a surprise. Until you click the video, then you see the original tits. Yeah. The video shows up in the three paragraphs. So you're like,

oh, original tits. It was like, it's like a treat. You know? That's like 98 characters after the dot, dot, dot. Exactly. Fucking crazy. Honestly, I can respect it, though, because, you know, unoriginal tits sometimes turn me on. Yeah, sometimes.

It depends. Unoriginal tits. I feel like there's a better way to phrase that. Fake tits. Sometimes. Unoriginal. Fake tits. Oh, I just finally came up

with one anime crazy scene Fickle Rick that's a good I mean technically wait no are you serious I was

kidding but that like you would take that no it's not really anime but it's American it's like an

animation of a guy that's just fucking killing a bunch of shit right it's American well we'll take that. We'll take that.

Here, we'll go into this. This is easy. This is for you. Okay. Favorite video game moment. Ooh. You have that word. What a hard transition from porn.

I know. Yikes. I know. But also animated porn's a hard transition. No, it's not. Batty dying. This is my guess. There was a hentai transition in there.

Oh, yeah. That is very true. Yeah. Batty dying. Anime freakouts. Hentai. in the past. Oh, yeah, that is very true. Yeah! Fatty dying, anime freakouts, hentai, porn, favorite video games. I understand perfectly. You know what? It's like an HBO series.

Do you have another white cloth? Are the four cases empty right now? Yeah, claws or claws or vodkas or whiskey, whatever. I think I would honestly have to break it down by decade because video games have played such an integral role in my entire life. Moments. Oh, no, he's got the butt. It's a more, I don't know. How do you explain that?

It depends on if it's like, is it a moment that you experience in real life with your friends or is it a moment like in the story? You went through a butt butt. Changed you, you know what I mean? Because I totally had that moment with Halo. Yeah. No, I know you're going to get into this one.

Yeah. Wait, what was the question again? I'm with you. I lost the question too. Like a pivotal moment in video games. Iconic video game moment. Uh-huh. Oh, I got a...

There's one that immediately comes to mind, but then there's definitely a few that... I think we all might have one for this so I would say maybe the first time I'm going to break it down into a few things

so there's like developing like a a relationship with a character in a video game like having like you're watching a movie you follow the storyline

and something happens to that character and it viscerally makes you feel a certain way probably Final Fantasy 7 that happened to me first time I know you didstation 1 og playstation 1 i was in middle school final fantasy 7 the fucking sephiroth theme music i can still hear yeah yeah it makes the hair raise on my arm every time i fucking hear it yeah unbelievable

someone has a super eye patch wolf did a video on that retrospective. Yeah, I know if you're a Channel but amazing retrospective on that game just the original final fantasy. Yes. Yeah classic moment You stayed up late which one that's fine. Yeah, I got the fuck even I yeah I know you guys a little bit older than me, but I but that's like the first Final Fantasy game I played. That was the first one? I was like six years old, fucking around, had no idea what I was doing.

God, that's a hard game. Yeah, I fucking sucked. Yeah, words. That's just one of those moments where you're like, I have no fucking idea what I'm doing. Iconic. Yep. I would say, breaking it more down,

so early on, probably like, I was gaming on my PC. I had a family PC and I was like on Microsoft DOS downloading games through like bootleg fucking places. I downloaded Wolfenstein 3D when it first came out, Doom. I was playing fucking Oregon Trail, playing Commander Keen was probably one of my favorite games from the early nineties. So like those moments shaped me as a child that was like, still in my like 8 9 10 11 era

where i'm just playing like that's what that captivated me and kind of turned me into someone who was now a 37 year old just grippingly addicted to video games it's just like it starts young sometimes and it stays but you're not having like emotional moments that was more just like the awe and wonder of like playing pixels on a screen that are colored and you can control them with a keyboard. It kind of brought the ADD in for a second. Putting in a five and a half inch floppy into a fucking computer.

God, games on floppy disks. Back in the day, Ninja Gaia and all those old ones. Then there's the, obviously, Nintendo and the progression of consoles. Super Mario 3 is one of my favorite games. I've probably seen that too many times. But fast forwarding, I would say Halo 1 was one of the moments where like probably the

FPS shooter where I was most attached to that game. Yep. Yep. And the physics on that. I will say that was the first game you just play with the physics for hours at the age. I used to. Stack grenades. I used to.

I spent. That's exactly what I did. On that level, like the ring level with the, like the island level. Yeah, island with the hole and then you get the Warthog.

So you get the Warthog shield. That was how you did it. You just kill each other back and forth to like drop your grenades under the Warthog and then you grab a sticky and you fucking throw the sticky,

grab the Warthog and you get the Warthog over shield and you're immune while the over shield is charging. So you hop in the Warthog while the fucking over shield is charging and you launch you're immune while the overshield is charging. So you hop in the Warthog while the fucking overshield is charging and you launch onto the top of the map.

Euphoria. When I finally got up there, I was like, there's nothing better than this. To be... Samsung Vision AI televisions transform screens into intelligent solutions. From the shows that make us laugh to those that make us cry. Now, your TV

Out of bounds in this game. You're not supposed to be up here. The way Halo did some of like the first person physics was like so good when you first got to play it. Yeah. It was an old, was it Frank Sinatra was, he had a song to that. That was an AMV video, which we were talking,

it's like an anime music video, but it was with the Warthog, Fly Me to the Moon, Frank Sinatra, and it was the grenades OG this is like pre YouTube. Yeah, I think it got uploaded Afterwards like years after it was like a 2002 like an eboms world Face dotnet stuff like that Fucking was it pure pwnage all that shit those videos Those videos, man. Boom, headshot. I forgot about Pure Pwnage.

What a wonderful fucking series that was. We're still in the early 2000s, and I could go on forever, but let me hand it off to you. What was the question exactly? Favorite video game moment. Moment. That one where you're like, oh, I just love this experience. There's a couple. So Halo 3, weekend it came out, right?

This was already big into Halo at this point. Like, you know, like one and two. And then like, yeah, it was like, we're on six. So I had the Xbox 360. And I bought, I was like waiting that night to get Halo. Got it. And that weekend, we all brought our xboxes our tvs over to my friend's house system link we played four person legendary halo 3 and that moment at

4 a.m all of us you know split screen driving our warthogs through that everything blowing up yeah and just when we jump over into the ship and the game does its last cutscene. And all your friends are there too. Yeah, we're like, ah! Like, we did it on Legendary, Back when local multiplayer

was the thing. It was the way couch co-op was ever done. Yeah, it was like such a, like, all of us came together for this fucking moment and it was,

I just, I'll remember that for the rest of my life. So good. It sucks that couch co-op is that. Like, So good. It sucks that, ouch, co-op. Perfect Dark. Gold Knight. Oh, those like Perfect Dark.

Gold Knight Fork, yeah, on N64. You had to have like the expansion pack and the controller that had extra rammer ran like shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For like little shitty games. And then it'll come back. But outside of that, I would say, obviously, World of Warcraft and just grinding alone

because, you know, it's a good friend. What? What? Yeah, no, I didn't.

No. I, no, like, fucking World of Warcraft is great if you're an introvert because you can just

meet people in line, talk, and this was like back with Ventrilo was a thing right oh man holy shit yeah ventrilo let's go what about roger wilco anyone remember roger wilco that was like the ventrilo competitor yeah i forgot about that that's before discord yeah i was like icq era maybe just after icq and i remember I was like such a squeaker for so long when I was playing, I wouldn't talk for a while.

Because I was like such a hyper. I already have a hyper, but it was even worse back then. Houston Jones here. Hey, hey. It's your orc warrior. Yeah. You will feel my breath. And I was like a real dick in normal chat.

So when they heard me talk they're like what this bitch i'm sorry guys uh but world of warcraft just uh so many memorable moments uh just especially me like getting competitive pvp and competing against really top level like arena players so like you know killed who was ragful ragful rest in peace uh it's not a laughing moment the baddies are honestly i don't know ragful is but i bet it was pretty fucking sick he was a really big twitch streamer but but you killed side uh you killed him oh that oh okay yeah that's crazy so here's the warcraft fucking yeah like he uh you know he did in blizzcon whatever yeah but i i beat him you know i

feel like one of my highlights of my warcraft career because he posted on his youtube channel uh but uh and it's me quasimodo. Your name is Quasimodo. But yeah, and then competing against some of those top, top level players. I was never that, that, that, that good,

but like I got to at least, I was high enough to compete against some of those guys. And I was like, that was a soul experience for me. I would say that those, those though, my most legendary best gaming moments. Yeah.

Yeah. Hey, Eli. Yeah. I would say that those though, my most legendary best gaming moments. Hey Eli. Yeah. I'm Wolverine again. Oh, that's for sure. What Batty's trying to say, Kershaw's been making knives in the United States since 1974. Hey Wolverine, how many employees does Kershaw have?

Baraka? Our president? No. Baraka. From Mortal Kombat? The single blade arm guy? You have no idea who I'm talking about? He's the guy with the mouth that's all the teeth,

and then he has the two blades that come out his arms? He's making shit up. Oh, man. I remember when I was in, like, I think it's like 2012, 2013, I kind of had thrown gaming away. I was a huge gamer before that. And I was like, all I did was consuming games. And I had this weird notion in my head that's like,

that's what you do when you're a kid and then you grow up. And I also was like, I moved from Canada to Mexico. I was living there and I didn't have anything to game on. I had no console. And then I got this shitty laptop from my sister. She had gifted it to me. My parents brought it down for me. And I downloaded an emulator on it.

Oh, yeah. So I downloaded some classic SNES games. I played through Chrono Trigger. Chrono Trigger. I played through Chrono Trigger. I played through Earthbound. And I played through Final Fantasy VI. through chrono trigger chrono trigger play through chrono trigger i was through um earthbound and i played through final fantasy 60s all these really legendary turn-based games kefka and that whole journey of like final fantasy 6 it was like it goes through so many loops it was the first game

i ever played and to think of that it's such an old game where you build a team then you lose your team and then there there's all you can miss characters and there's all these little secrets embedded you see stuff like that in games now that's been pulled back in like um like elden ring is such an homage to old video games where they don't guide you they don't give you uh tell you where to go there's so many missables there's so many secrets and that game i got so entrenched and tried to do every little thing i could and then the final boss battle when it plays oh thank god just all the layers the levels of it like there's this whole undertone of like i don't know like of uh oppression and everything and like stealing people's youth and all these things and you see the final boss and they play the music from the

intro at the end and he floats down 16-bit music which is yeah and he and the whole there's all this uh they're always insinuating that this power will lead to something. And there's a lot of religious undertones throughout the game. And then when you go through the whole battle, it's like any of those games back then, you have like a four stage boss. And then when you get to the final stage, he's like, he's a living God. He's like, yeah, he's an angel form. It's like angel. Yeah. He's in an, he's an angel form. It's like that. I remember that boss battle hit me super hard.

That's like the old school game that hit me good. And then recently. Well, going off of that also, it was just really cool. It's like this final fantasy six, this is 93. No. 95. Before I was born. Yeah.

This is before you were born. I was born in 94. Yeah. Kevkin destroys the fucking world. Like, the entire world gets ripped apart and almost everyone dies. And you're like, oh. And this is almost Evangelion level. Yeah, you're like, what the fuck just happened?

And it's a game where you build a super team and then you lose all the characters you built and you have to start from scratch. Like, to think of doing that in a video game back in what 94 or whenever like that's so like that rattled me that i'm like wow this is revolutionary gameplay in an old fucking game yeah i think we saw that more back then though like that that you could take more risks oh yeah that brutal like approach to gameplay and that's what i think these games like dark souls and stuff touch on again where it's like you die all the all the enemies come back you die you lose all your experience you um the loss of experience in old in old games is so true so true it's just a high stakes thing and there's missables all these things quest lines that you won't even know what to do no auto say that no

some sense i think that's what we've lost with some modern games is like the the stakes of like playing losing being bad or dying or making a mistake that's what i think there is no risk miyazaki has brought back to video games and what he has done incredibly he's akin to like an anthony bourdain or a studio ghibli or like a bill burr like anyone who is really focused on their craft and taking something that started out as niche but became so prolific it has reverberated through the entire industry games like final fantasy 6 i would have thought impacted what he does to create what games are today definitely yeah yeah that's very well said i love hanging out with che like i remember the first time he was on podcast,

I was like, dude, I fucking love it. Yeah, I liked Conker's bad fur day. When you thought the piece of shit was dope. There was some fat tits in that one. No, man, so kind of on that same vein, though, Final Fantasy VII for me has got to be up there, but to not say a Final Fantasy game, Elder Scrolls III, Morrowind, and Oblivion. Yes.

Morrowind. You're hitting a good, like, most people watching probably have not played Morrowind. Yeah. Most have obviously done Skyrim. Oblivion was the first Elder Scrolls I played fully immersed. And then went on to do Skyrim and the whole nine. Yeah. Wish I might have played Morrowind back in the day. fully immersed and went on to do Skyrim and the whole nine but wish I

might have played Morrowind back in the day Morrowind was mind blowing just from the graphics alone at that stage I don't think it's good to play now it's not

I went back and I tried it again because I was like Morrowind is one of those games where it was like I was it was it was unbelievable

like I was a big book nerd I always loved reading like fantasy D&D type shit and then Morrowind came out and i still actually have my game of the year edition of morowind on the original xbox like in the case still and that game you know there were no rails you didn't see that in games because there was usually a linear path you followed your fucking it was and it was the point where like you could just kill anybody. You could be, you could save anybody.

You could do whatever the fuck you wanted. You could abuse every system in that game however you wanted to do things. That state of like what you said, like there's no rails. That is what a lot of video games are. You're on a set story path. A narrative line. There may not be a complete linear path, but there's three paths.

If you follow one of those three, you can bounce between them. I at least like the choice. What's better than a well-marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue? A well-marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue that was carefully selected by an Instacart shopper and delivered to your door.

Download the Instacart app and enjoy $0 delivery fees on your first three orders. Service fees, exclusions, and terms apply. Instacart. Groceries that over-del deliver. But Oblivion, like, you had a journal, and it would give you a hint of where to go. There was no quest markers. There was no... Yeah, there was nothing, and

you could accidentally kill, like, if you pissed off the wrong guy, you would have to kill the main questline character and a message would pop up being like, hey, you fucked up. You can't actually beat the game anymore. Yeah, okay, so I don't mean to tangent off you about this. Have you guys played any of the Nier games?

Nier Auto. Automata. Oh yeah, yeah, okay. Nier. Have you guys played any of them? No, no, no. I haven't, I need to. So good, because you will have moments.

This guy becomes a bigger anime dork every time. I know. Video games, hold on. Let's real quick. Like the biggest anime we've seen ever. It is a video, but like you will like in the air. Hot chick blindfold. I would say play the later one.

The other one I just played for the story. Not worth the 33 hours i put into it uh but the other one like you will eat like a fish and you'll get a game over screen what the game literally says like hey if you want to eat this fish you'll probably die and it's kind of like like baiting you yeah and then you will you eat it in this game over screen i like that yeah it's just over screen. I like that. Yeah. It's just like, here, you're dead.

Sorry. And I'm not even kidding. You beat the game. Fuck around and find out. You beat the game. You beat the game. And then it goes into, like, the credits are falling, right? You can't skip them.

And it goes into one of those retro shooters where you have to shoot all the words. Galaga. And it becomes Galaga. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Smash it into two. Yeah. It becomes impossible. It becomes impossible, right? And it keeps putting it becomes Galaga. Yeah. Oh yeah. Smash it too. Yeah. It becomes impossible.

Right. And it keeps putting up things like, do you want to continue? Or you should give up. And you're like, I keep clicking that. Right. And then you just keep doing it.

Keep doing it. And then I spent, I remember I was like streaming on discord with my friends with this. And I was like, this is the worst fucking shoot ever. Like I'm here for 38 hours. Like when's it going to end? And then it's like, then it's like, this is the worst fucking shoot ever. Like, I'm here for 38 hours. Like, when's it going to end?

And then it's like, do you want help? Yeah, yeah, I fucking want help. And then, like, all the people that fucking failed at this moment, this thing, their profiles come in and start helping you shoot these fucking credits. It's like the most mind-blowing fucking storytelling experience like the whole thing from like a video game experience like you know from the beginning start to the end there's five different endings in you each ending adds to the story then the ending credits adds more i've never seen a video have a full complete experience with every every part. It's like fucking, what's his name? Who's the Metal Gear

guy? Yeah, it's very... Kojima. Kojima, yeah. Kojima, I like the metal weird shitty parts. It's like one of the same people like, there's a very... This guy's an iconic developer that wrote these Nier series. Yeah, it's Platinum. Yeah, Platinum, yes. And it is a

ride. It's like if you you're into story based games it is so good and it's like by the same people that do kind of some of the the final fantasy uh no no that will make cry type yeah yeah it's that high action high octane yeah so it's fun great story and uh that's honestly the story shit is what I'm really, I really suck at. Yeah. I mean, I,

that's the reason RPGs with Morrowind and shit, like being able to just wander the fucking map. There's random caves, there's quests in these caves, but there was no markers. There was no direction to go there. It was like, Oh,

I could just go over there. Like, like it's the same reason why like grand theft auto was such a crazy fucking thing when three or san or vice city first came out and you could just go i guess i'm gonna go get a hooker now like i'm 14 let's do this the car's rocking i probably spent 160 hours trying to fucking change the camera angle not only that but do backflips on the motorcycle yes yeah i perfected it dude fucking double backflip no problem i'm like the high rusa bike

they had you did just remind me like grand theft auto online that was some some great gameplay i was playing gta 2 top down yeah oh god yeah the old 1. Did you guys play GTA V online when you could finally get your friends all in the fucking GTA universe? It was an absolute blast. Yep. I never got really into those. I remember the amount of hours I spent with my friends

before I was a streamer before. Just trying to get into the military bases. Like, you'd hit that fucking ramp near the tunnel to jump in. Be like, oh, get to the fucking helicopter. Get to the jet. And we're all fucking dying. One guy gets to the helicopter and he takes off.

No, you can't go too high because the missiles will get you. Yes. Raiden's really good at Grand Theft Auto. That's terrifying. I know. Raiden is like, he's autism. And it's his superpower. So he knows everything on how to do where to go, what to do. Because I was like,

okay, buddy. Okay, the the game started and he asked people when we i've talked about if you're robbing somebody like hey can i borrow your car then you pull them out and then you don't hit them you just take it and drive so he's polite during this entire process yeah it's out of respect yeah you're borrowing a car right he's the only person in grand theft auto following the street laws uh you know stopping at the stop lights uh putting his turn light on but he's like fluffing the colors you look wonderful but walking away i'll come back in i remember the first time i walked away walked back and after i was doing something a few hours passed come back in i'm

like where the fuck are you he's like i'm beating the game daddy you know i was like what mission holy shit you're actually beating the fucking game what the like just watching he knows exactly what to do because he's watched all the youtube tutorials so then he goes translates it exactly how he killed fucking Trevor. And then it's over. Old school video games, it was like Xenogears, Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima.

Yeah. Metal Gear. You guys play some Metal Gear? I hate Metal Gear. That's why I joined it. Resident Evil and Metal Gear. Never have enjoyed them. But even the like,

you don't even like Metal Gear Solid 3 or Resident Evil 4. That's why I joined the military. Come on. I'm not joking. I was playing Call of Duty or Elder Scrolls. He doesn't like Galvin Ring either by the way.

I don't. I really don't. Shay gets out, he slides his shirt over his head. Shay's like, I was waiting for that moment because you were saying what a prolific you know person that was it's like it's fine like i have a buddy who is like not into the souls games at all and then i was like you gotta do elden ring and he did and then he was like bro this is like how much time did you give it i just worked out of hours you they're really games like i i i totally respect that you watching i don don't. Watching.

Che is summoning his inner meditation right now. He's like, I'm not going to slap him. This was my first time on the podcast. This was a conversation. I was like offended that you were like that. You were supporting me for four hours. Having to watch 20 minutes of YouTube videos to play a game isn't necessarily what you think you should have to do to play a game. Sure.

But. But. Yeah, but. to play a game isn't necessarily what you think you should have to do to play a game sure but but yeah but the the the like satisfaction loop that is embedded in these games is so much higher quality than anything else on the market like it you like learning skills and using your abilities getting stronger to find new items like understanding a quest line through reading text and all these things the how much the game gives you and how much it also withholds that you'll find that you didn't know you found it it feels like old video games it feels like when you're a kid on the playground and the only information you had was each other and you would talk to each other about how you play video games so i just want to compound on that it feels like that first experience you had that baddie just said was his favorite video game experience where you get to explore an open world and find things

you get to explore you get to explore almost like it's exactly like what he just described his favorite thing i think you probably can i just get a cliff note the dragon why why elden ring was not something you enjoyed The style of the game 100% style. It's not it was artistic. That was it. That was it 100% It's I like medieval or yeah, I love I the way I like my fantasy genre games is not weep enough I hate when you're like Elden Ring's is just the medieval. And he's like, would you like my D&D statues right here? Do you like later aesthetics?

That might be it. It's true. It's just I... When you get to some of the capital city stuff, I think you... I'm sure it's different then, but I like Dark Souls. I love Vaginas.

I just hated it. Yeah. You know, it's not... Did you like the gameplay mechanics? Yeah, absolutely. I love the difficulty of the game. I love the type of weapons and the way you can use your abilities. I do like all that.

It's the aesthetics of the game. I don't enjoy it. And if I can't get immersed in the game, I don't give a fuck. What about Bloodborne? Hate it. I've played Bloodborne. I've played- Dark Souls, basically? No, I don't like the style of the FromSoft games.

Sekiro? Sekiro. I actually, you know, Bob the Elderman played it, then I tried Sekiro, and I was like, yeah. Sekiro came out with a good time for me.

Sekiro was like, I think I'd beat, or I'd never beat Dark Souls 3. I got the last boss, and I started getting stomped, and then I got like 100,000 souls, and I was like, I'm going to go level up, and then I got like 100,000 souls and I was like I'm gonna go level up and then I died

and lost them and I was like I need a break a long ass break and I never went back but what's it called um fucking

Sekiro came out at a time where I was just craving that type of game and then it came out and I just like fucking and I actually

Sekiro's hard as shit like yeah i think you know that's part of the reason like dark souls and like dark souls you're like fuck this boss sucks i'm gonna go level up so i was like yeah get fucked there is not a mechanic yeah it's skill yeah like and i was like i'm not at a stage of like i want to sit here and fight the same guy for 10 hours no and and it's's like, oh, I killed the boss. They have two life bars every time you kill one.

So, like, the first one, you're like, please get this as a kill. You're like, please get this as a kill so I don't have to fight two of you. Like, oh, I made it once. You know, I've died on some bosses, like, 100 times on Elden Ring, but at least I could always go kill some weak shit to level up and finally feel a little bit stronger, you know? With Sekiro, I was just like,

well, I'm just fucking shit. That butterfly boss, that first like butterfly boss, the girl that's like, yeah, never got to what? Oh,

you're talking millennia. No, the burning building. No, it's Sekiro. Oh, Sekiro. Yeah.

Like you get those ones. You're like, this is like the first real boss. And it is a reality check of what you have to get good at. You know what stopped me? I bought the $60 game. And you know what stopped me? It was like the guy with the sword.

Samurai guy, Joe, who's just standing out there, who is like a semi-boss. And I was like, that guy's fucking rough. Oh, the first and the first. Yeah. I'm like, you know what? He's the one who teaches you. He's like, this is the mechanics of the game. Yeah.

I was stuck on him for hours. Gave up. I gave up. They're like, this is, if you, I will admit the first six hours of that game, I did not get the hang of it. I was like.

Hi, I'm Tara Schmidt, a registered dietitian and host of On Nutrition, a podcast for Mayo Clinic, where we dig into the latest nutrition trends and research to help you understand what's health and what's hype. There's a lot of wild stuff out there, so we'll be keeping it science-based, research-informed, and practical. Mayo Clinic's On Nutrition, new episodes every other week, wherever you get your podcasts. Our six,

which is like brutal people at all. Our six, that's a lot. It's six hours. Long time play game and not have fun, not have fun, but the rest, that's a game where I'm like,

I need to go back. Cause there was, there's so much sub shit I didn't do in that game. But I'm now, that was like the second Souls game I played. And so now I'm so much more entrenched in that world that I'm like, I know I'll go back. I'll be better. I get what this stuff's about. And I want to do all the little sub bosses.

Because there's, there's a real ending. There's like, well, there's two endings. And then there's a real ending where you fight like the main, main main boss so i've only fought one out of the three main end bosses and then there's like the fire demon and then there's all this other shit there's so much shit in that game the monkey that's just now i'm good with the two heads i'll play skyrim for the fifth time thanks anyone here played monster yeah yeah yeah what one uh world uh i recently put like 240 hours in the world recently put 240 wow okay just last week just got back from playing meth not even once i did 50 55 and then i i was like i loved it, but I wasn't playing with anyone.

So I fucking, I put it to bed. No, when you go in like these Demon Slayer, which was the first Dark Souls game. So I know they're called Dark Souls. Demon Souls. Yeah, Demon Souls was the very first one. And that was PS3. Came out in like 2009. Chip mechanics, but the-

The most brutal mechanics because it was like, oh, you can, your half health- Why do y'all enjoy that? Oh, I love it. Well, it was the half health, you died at the beginning. You know what? They're masochists. Yeah, we are. All right, all right.

We're the masochists. It's a game where it's like- You should take the easy route. So, I do, I put I put the you know when you're on the RPG you can be like oh I can go on hard

medium normal or story mode yeah story fucking story mode that shit I do normal

I can't even that's weird to say that on a podcast a gaming podcast a gaming podcast you're a gamer you're a gamer

I go to I go hard every time. 10,000 hours in dark. I almost always go to the one that's just below the hardest. So there's Nightmare, and then there's Hell, and then there's Nightmare. Hell sounds good. Not Nightmare. The hardest one is going to make me want to hang myself the whole time,

so I'll do the one before that. And it's going to be difficult, and I'll hate it, but but i'm gonna feel so good i can't say i i can argue i i'll always play normal difficulty because i feel like that's kind of like the base base of what a game is supposed to be played right and then if i enjoy it i'll go higher difficulties you know like i will depends on the game like yeah doom the doom games i go the hardest see that's different on doom i would do that absolutely uh halo legendary every single time yeah for me it's like an rpg thing i i'm in it from a storytelling standpoint so i would i wanted to make that point that it does depend on what experience you're going for yeah absolutely in a game like that where it's like i don't like

the mechanics of a very hard fight in this particular style of game yeah i'm here for the fucking story like dragon age games you can put that on story mode so i'll give you that yeah i will give you that i have no problem with that and then maybe there's maybe like maybe you're an fps guy like doom you're like i want to just fucking kill a million mobs i will never not play a halo game on legendary you know what i mean like is that completely different style everyone wants to get snapped uh snipered by a jackal that you can't see in this diet. It immediately killed me. Like, this is fun.

It's the power fantasy. It's a game like Doom. If it's a game like, I'm playing Ghost of Tsushima right now. Those go on. That goes to the fantasy. Because I want the feeling of like, because you have to be perfect. You have to like, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill. And then when everyone's

dead, you feel like you feel the fucking greatest. And that's what the high I'm going for. Sushi Ghost is one of the best games. Recent years. Yeah, Ghost of Tsushima. Like fucking so good. I feel like that is

the sad end goal of a game. You're just looking for that difficulty curve that gets you rocks out of you. That's the type of game. It's different for every game. You guys ever beat Getting Over It? You guys ever play Getting Over It? I have not beat it. If I can get over it.

Bennett Foddy. Bennett Foddy's Getting Over It. I will play that afterwards because it is the most fucking soul-crushing game. It's one where it is just a mouse. There's no skill involved. It is mouse. When you talk about the guy that has the bucket.

So he's in the cauldron with a bucket. So your goal is to climb this mountainside. That's fucking it. You just climb to the top. Oh, fuck. Oh, my God. No, I know what you're talking about now.

With the fucking, the physic hit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's physic hit. Thank you. There is levels where you can get to it. Is there an end to it? Yeah. And that's what sucks.

You get to certain parts in it. Like, I got past the castle part once, and then you fuck up one time, and you're like, I'm doing, and then it's like, oh. No, no. And you start at the one time and you're like i'm doing and then it's like oh no no and you start at the beginning and you're like and then you hold the power down button on your computer no you just turn your pc off you hard turn it off i'm fucking yank out the fucking pc oh man i got very far in that game and then i beat off my computer i still want to go back and beat I want that my gaming resume that I beat it, but it's like, it's a,

that's a gaming resume. I like that. I was playing it before I go to sleep and I had to stop because I would get like hot and anxious. And I'd be like, sweaty fingers, get the claw hand. Cause you're like,

you're like holding down so hard. Exactly. And I'm like, I can't sleep after this. I'm fucking wired now, dude. No. So with demon souls back in the day uh original demon souls when you died in it you would go half health so you'd be in a deep you would be in the spirit form or whatever husk form so you'd always play the game at half health they don't explain this when it first came out and

no one explained it you go and you're like oh half health oh they give you an item it resurrects you and you go to full health okay dope so you just resurrect yourself every time game doesn't tell you it makes the game infinitely harder every time so you have a dark system and a light system every time you resurrect yourself it goes to the light side which is very fucking hard so it and there's five lights when I just resurrect myself five times I need my full health for these boss fights Then I couldn't make it the boss all of a sudden I was dying by the dogs in the normal names like why is everything So really wrong now. I can't get souls on higher level Murdering I like look it up online 2011. She could central. Yeah

Like Oh reset the game if it's hard right now because you're you're maxed out It is just you're coming back. Yeah, you are having fun. What are your mechanics to make the game harder? You think I'll help myself. I'll help myself. Oh this part was tough when you died. We're gonna make it harder I died again. He was trying stuff out back then he was he was riffing Let's try this down people like they don't like that. Wow, man. We're trying to see if they like What the fuck is this every of us comic has jokes and he's like, I thought it was funny. And everyone in the audience, but you know, I still to this day. I think it was funny. I still laugh anytime someone says

Gabagool. It's the funniest thing to me. Get the handout. Gabagool. Do you guys have a favorite video game character? Dude, Solid Snake. It's definitely Solid Snake. Solid Snake. Who's solid snake? Definitely solid.

Yeah, what's a Russian gunship? That's a good solid snake. Jager. Why are we all here? You're still the guy. Yeah. No, wait. The only thing that everything from- Yeah, why are we all here just to suck?

Is there crab, the crab battle fucking- Crab battle. Crab battle. Crab pot, seven inches crab pot. I know that game so like from like I named my son riding because of Metal Gear Solid. That's fuck that was selfish. Oh, no, no, no, he can't. He's got a pass. You're right. That's enough of a deep cut.

People will connect it back to Metal Gear. Well, it was best because the mom was like, I like Mortal Kombat, to be honest. Yeah, yeah, there you go. Well, the mom was like, Ryan's mom was like, oh, well, like, Ryan, but I don't,

maybe something different. I was like, what about Raiden? And she's like, I really like that. I was like, cool. Didn't say what it's from until it was signed

on the birth certificate. I was like, that's from Metal Gear Solid. Too late. That now cannot be removed. Sounds like Patriot on the birth certificate. I was like, that's from metal gear. Solid. That now cannot be removed. Sounds like Patriot, the best game. And then MGS five came out and a liquid snake's name was Eli.

And I was like, new way. Me. So we have snake written in the stars. Favorite video game character. Oh man. I don't know. I'm like,

I'm harking back to, again, like kind of Cloud Sephiroth there, Final Fantasy VII, just for like games I was attached to and spent a lot of hours to. But which one?

Sephiroth or Cloud? Sephiroth would play cooler. The mass immune seven foot sword. Yeah, the mass immune. Come on. So badass. I like Master Chief's

too cliche. Didn't really get connected to him. He's cool, but that's about it. Cortana. Cortana was honestly probably cooler. They't really get connected to him. He's cool, but that's about it. Cortana. Cortana was honestly probably cool. They ruined her.

They ruined her. Stop it. She's still hot. She got so thick, though. Come on. On Infinite, she got fell off. I would say, like, so when it comes down to strictly story, like in being investing in characters,

I was pretty invested in the last of the series yeah no that's joel joel and ellie like i would say they're top three for me as far as like storyline characters and like actually like good games yeah incredible games yeah amazing so so they're definitely on the list for me that comes to mind i can't i mean for me video games are usually you have a character though you're like i'm struggling myself i know that's like it's more about like how can i be good at this game to make me feel better about myself yeah how can i smash little teenagers right now in league of legends to make me feel like my self-esteem uh no but yeah yeah, no, Last of Us,

fucking Final Fantasy VII, even actually Final Fantasy IX, Little Mage, I think his name is Vivi. Vivi. Yeah. Absolutely. I don't know why

I fucking loved Vivi. It was like my shit. Like I loved him. Little fucking, little straw hat. My favorite, Skull Kid from Majora's Mask. Shout out.

Yes. Okay. Shout out to Final Fantasy IX for having a complete. Yeah, shout out. Yo. But that game, like it was one of the, it was,

and then to get some of the fast weapons, like the ultimate weapons, you had to speed run the game and they made it possible to speed run the game without leveling up. Like, yeah,

the enemies are based off of your level. So just go as fast as you want. Like, oh, this was very new for that time period. Like tactics and that were the first ones to do

maybe thrall i was about to say savannas you know know, like fucking undead. Jim Raider, Starcraft. Which one's Thrall? The Orgrimmar. Who's the Orgrimmar orc? The main orc. Until they get replaced. Yeah.

But yeah, I would need time to think about more. There's definitely been more. I just, on top of mine. I'm going to go. I have a hard time answering this one. Probably like an easy. the monogatara Okay, you don't know good anime watch it Come on, Lara Croft. The amount of times I tried to kill that butler in Lara Croft with the fucking tray. Yeah, backing up the camera to get a good J-O angle.

You're like backing her up and then rotating. Yeah, there's no triangle. Somebody jerked off to the Witcher in here. I know one of you. Oh my god, I fucking forgot about it. Geralt. Geralt is a great character. Witcher 3? All the Witchers, but Witcher 3? Yes! You know what, I'll take that one. I'm just gonna take that one. I wanna take that one.

No, take it back. Commander Shepard. Cause it's me. Shepard is a good character. I forgot about Mass Effect. I fucking love Mass Effect. Such a good fucking scene. I never played it. 1, 2, 3. Just go in blind, play all three. Actually, Andromeda.

Oh, Andromeda. Actually, I didn't mind it, but not as good as the original trilogy. My question is, did anyone play The Witcher 1 and 2? No. I never played 1, but I played 2. I played the updated versions of 2 and 1, kind of. I never beat them.

1's like, if you watch old footage of 1, it's raw. Oh, the combat. Yeah, the gameplay. It's mechanically like the gameplay, the controller. What system was that or was it PC? PC. PC. It's crazy that they got the 1. When I played The Witcher 3, just came out with like like an upgraded like you know

fixing the gameplay they updated to like a 2022 version of the game with the engine yeah the graphics and everything

this is like a 2016 2015 game yeah and I played that on my PC and it was fucking gorgeous I remember yeah the remaster I played it so my PC and I was fucking gorgeous. I remember. Yeah. The remaster I played it.

So good. Four. 17. I think I played through it. So good. And honestly, I don't think the combat side is settling in, but the,

the, the story and everything. It's another game. I would gladly put Witcher on the easiest setting and just rock. Yeah. I see. I can kind of agree with that. Witcher three,

the story of the Witcher three. Like I don't, I don't care about how tough. You did some scenarios to get in and you're talking to him. I want it to be challenging, though, I think. That's fair. Like, the mechanics in that game are enough to make me want to get better at them. Yeah.

It's definitely not bad. It's not the best fighting mechanics, but like, I don't know. Like, I could never, in good conscience, select the easiest setting and not just immediately put my fucking balls in dick i don't know what like a shooter i need to be on the hardest setting with rpg i think it's because uh the storytelling i like writing i do dnd i do i i i'm there so you want to just like sit back with the controller on your fucking big bulging stomach. Just smash it all the time. Literally, I will. 45 hours just smashing away.

I can't blame them. I'm like, read them. The Witcher is like a master class of video game storytelling. The way they interweave all the different storylines, different side quests. The best side quests for me. Fucking side quests mean something. The best side quests. The Bloody Baron.

Oh my God. The intro to the game is basically the intro to the bloody baron. There's so many people who don't even finish that. There's that fetus that comes alive. Yeah. Botchling. Botchling. But even like the orc or the troll. The troll with the painting of the walls is like one of the best side quests because you walk up and the choice like me No, no, what do and they're like humans like kill that thing. Yeah, so you walk up and you know a troll You fucked up all the ships. He's like I know protect ships. I'll build wall. They said so broke ship build wall

So his logic he was like I help protect the yard and you're like, okay He's like but need to paint now so you. So you walk away, you get the paint, you bring it back. He's like, me no good. Are you paint? So you can have Gerald do it. And it's a shitty, he's like, oh, you good painter. Or you can be like troll. You paint it.

Fucking you have fun. And it is the Mona Lisa. When you have the troll do it, it is like literally a piece of art. It's just speechless. He's like, what the fuck? And it cuts to the troll. He's like, me literally a piece of art going it's just speechless he's like what the fuck and it cuts through the troll he's like me bad painter should not have painted oh and he leaves i'm like fuck this is it makes you feel a month just like tucked in there and it's also like a joke that you would have missed if you don't

hit the right fucking thing yeah that's what's crazy about a lot of video game dialogue and video game moments is they're weaving in so many impactful moments that they're like, someone might never even fuck. And that, like, the amount of work

that goes into the, the voice acting for some of these scenes, like, you're, they're writing entire dialogues and you're just like, maybe somebody sees it.

Skip, skip, skip. You guys played the DLC for it too. Yeah, oh, Blood and Wine. Blood and Wine?

Yep. Fucking amazing. Oh, every one. And they were 20 bucks, 10 bucks, and they were like 40 hours long. So good. And then CD Projekt Red released Cyberpunk. It's on my own fucking winery.

Yeah. It's on my own fucking winery. Well, they were under pressure. I don't blame them. They came off the Witcher 3 and they released Cyberpunk. I'm going to say, dude, I would not get up late. It's so good. Cyberpunk is good. They were under pressure. I don't blame them. They came off the Witcher 3 and they released Cyberpunk. I'm going to say, dude, it's so good. Cyberpunk is good.

And they have mod support, so there's titties everywhere now. I only played a little bit of The Witcher. I only put about 30, 40 hours in that game. I didn't play a lot of it. I really enjoyed Cyberpunk. I never beat it, but I did. I recently went back and beat it. I think I should go back and beat it. I would like to recently went back and beat it i i think i should go back

and beat it i would like to i'm uh i gave it about 12 15 hours now they got a beast of a rig i want to actually see i'm telling you and with mod support not even just for titties there's so many cool mods to add to that game now like in-game mod support it's the world is cool and it's a world that i love i like i love you guys watch the cyberpunk yeah it's fucking depressing oh my god i love it anime cyberpunk it's supposed to be really good last year last year cyberpunk edge runners everyone says right like even i get the brandon herrera aka guy it's like you love you watch this i was like what the fuck are you texting me about anime at four in the morning

check it out like if brandon is telling me about something because he does not watch anime it's like 10 episodes so it's like the fastest thing quick quick to you. Yes as fast as it starts Well, that was fucking depressing the animation Favorite favorite care we got this line. We're still like this. It's just a slow work down the table I think I would probably go Kratos i'm a god i'm a god boy stan i played the psp ones i've played fucking every single god and we're talking about video game moments before when aries throws the pillar through fucking everywhere and it pins kratos to the wall when he's in the temple of ofora. That moment's fucking nuts.

In God of War 3, when he fights the Kraken sort of thing. My only problem with God of War 3 is that they bust their nut at the beginning of that game. Ew. Ew. Yeah. That game starts off insane. You're fighting. Like Poseidon creates a Kraken creature. You're on the back of Gaia. You're fighting like Poseidon creates a cracking creature

you're on the back of Gaia you're fighting this thing then Gaia punches through the monster you grab Poseidon and gouge his eyes out and throw him off Mount Olympus like that game starts crazy and it never lives up to the first like hour. It ends there. It's a great game. I think think it is mechanically it is the better of the original trilogy mechanically it's the best but then even when you get to the later ones like god of war remastered was like a reimagining and you had a new version of kratos that kind of stepped away from this like it was a juvenile version of video games that came into an adult version of what games are now. And then when you get

Ragnarok, Ragnarok embraced all these moments of storytelling plus what I, I didn't think the story was as good as the original. I always piss off

because I didn't have a cool like button press sex scene in Ragnarok. Ah, dude. The, the, the fucking orgy scene. Yeah, so,

yeah, so remember that and all, like every God of War game like one through three there's always like click the button and you're like Oh, I still remember that. Every God of War game, 1, 2, 3, there's always like, click the button and you're like, okay. Oh, you haven't played it yet? Not Ragnarok. Okay. You're not going to have sex with Ragnarok. I won't spoil it.

You spoiled orgy. That game is so incredible, and in terms of what I enjoy about God of War and what I enjoy about video games i thought the story was good anything was as good as the first one but the the moments that make god of war to me are these like epic like over the top set piece moments and it has those again and again that are fucking crazy and then it does all these it like does these crazy fan service moments or ragnarok is four or is that five oh i mean

technically in the main series five five because god of war then god or ragnarok yeah it's the second playstation 4 1 4 5 oh i haven't played that one yet so i played when so i streamed i streamed one in like 2018 with the first boy yeah. Yeah, that's the first boy one. Oh, no, that's the one I played. I haven't played the new one. Is that on PC? Yeah. No, so Ragnarok is the new new? Yeah.

That's the new new. Okay, yeah, no. Ragnarok is like- So that I need to play. It's so fucking incredible in terms of gameplay, like battling these set piece moments. And there's like a central part of the story that I, that I won't say what happens,

but the theme is change who you are. If you want to change your outcome. And it made it impacted me at a stage in my life where I was going down a certain path. And I was like, if I want to be a different person, I need to change my behavior. And I changed who I was because of how this game spoke to me.

And yeah, Kratos, I think is the, he's been with me since I've been 12. And I, and he has always been great. What an insightful way to take a new game and turn it into something actionable in your own life. That's unbelievable. He was like, I like Sephiroth. He had a huge sword and then we have your deep ass conversation I need to go again My favorite games don't even have a main character. It's again the Elder Scrolls series. It's your Dragon Age

I guess well, you can put yourself in right? Yeah, so it's a little different in that case, but like but who's your character? the character, um Betty It's me I picture myself in every video. I'm the best. I'm the best. I'm the best. I'm the best.

I have to go with Link, Legend of Zelda. Oh, okay. Or one of my personal favorites is Skull Kid, just because I love Skull Kid in Majora's Mask and how he turns out like, oh, he wasn't really the bad guy, but he turned into the bad guy. He was like, yeah, he seduced Zardaman to corruption. Yeah, exactly.

Link's actually a really good hero. Like just character in general. It's like, yo, Hey, this is your new job. He's like, Link,

listen. Oh fuck. Okay. I feel like Link is also like a self-insert character though. It kind of, cause he doesn't have that dialogue. So he's like a master chief. Right?

Yeah. He's a silent hero. He's a silent hero. Morgan Freeman. Yeah. He's Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman? Yeah, he's Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman, for sure. I forget about half-life, man. Gordon.

Gordon, not Morgan. I was like, wait, is it? Yeah. Thank you. Thank you on that one. I was like, that's off. I don't know why it's off, but it's off. Morgan Freeman.

You can get mechs or you can fight as humans in PlayStation 1, and it is the reason they had to switch a lot for American development was you're fighting God. It is.

PlayStation 1, the bad guy is God. You're like, hey, the angels come to Earth. Mankind is in a ship and they're trying to is God. You're like, hey, the angels come to Earth. Mankind is in a ship, and they're trying to control God. So it's like flying, and then they have to crash land because God becomes self-aware. He's like, hey, I'm a prisoner.

Fucking destroys mankind in that ship. Destroys it. It wrecks. And spreads out through there, and then starts your fantastic journey. And it's firing. You're like, oh, okay. It's like, dude, dude.

Music. Dope. And then the mechs attack the village. You go to save it's firing like, oh, okay. It's like music. Dope. And then a mech attack the village. You go to save it. Main character, Faye.

Because he tells every video game the exact same way But it's the exact same way but you you're literally it's the Garden of Eden is what is Bell and that's where God was fucking. Oh my god. I'll tie your or Oh, what's the other one's name? Altair, yeah.

I can't think of his fucking name. Those two games were so goddamn good. The original AC. The three original, like, like, playing through those. Ezio? Ezio. Ezio. Ezio, yes.

Yeah, Ezio Auditor. Those were great. Those were great. Holy shit. Amazing games. And then, like, even when you got to, like, I would say Black Flag was a peak for me. 100%. Very down to laughter.

But, you know, I played Odyssey recently. I forgot my PC. Like, Odyssey was great, but it just didn't give me that feeling. Yeah. That Assassin's Creed feeling. There was the biggest fucking map you'll ever see in your life,

you know, and I was like, I'll never see any of this. Like, I don't know why. I'm not going to make it. Yeah, but like... You can only drink out of the same recycled bottle.

Yeah, exactly. The water starts tasting you know like but so for villain just real quick it is id from xenogears it was his character at first when you fight him main character's gone fight him he fucking destroys and wipes the floor with everything you're like what the fuck i just like this is the first dude and first game that broke 9,999 damage. So it could, like, you get to see a new. You could go five figure damage? Yeah.

First PlayStation 1 game and it broke that. Five figure damage. Dude, and you just get marked by this red gear and you don't have his name or anything. Then he shows up later in the game. It beats your ass again. You're like, what the fuck? Fuck this dude. He doesn't even do anything.

Barely talks. Beats your asses and leaves like what the fuck fuck this dude he doesn't even do anything barely talks beats your asses and leaves he kills everyone and leaves then at the end of the first this is 50 hours in your main character shit's going down everyone's dying and you're like fuck main character what are you gonna do the little uh pendant starts going back and forth which is uh something that happens throughout the game. And then you fucking, he switches. Like you just see him freak out and he turns to Id. So he turns to the main bad guy and you don't realize,

oh yeah, the main character and him have never been in the same time. That's him the whole game? Yes. And I've never realized. 50 hours in and you're like, what the fuck? I was going to play the game.
