so we found this weird little loophole or they just don't care about us enough yet where we build our wizard staffs our our mana and by adding another potions drinking mana potions okay and it's not out we're not getting paid to drink alcohol we're it's we're building stabs we're getting we it's it really started it because we would you know duct tape cans together and make a wizard stab we got really drunk and thought that was a good idea okay and now it's turned into us just screaming and throwing cans over and uh we we started out it was like 20 bucks 15 bucks for a man a potion yeah twitch man a potion and it's evolved into the other night it was like 40 bucks for one and i killed half a

bottle of rum and like a 12 pack plus you killed a half a bottle a half a bottle of manna rum potion. Pirate potion. Pirate potion. And then I had four shots of Mexican potions and one shot of redneck potions. Is that whiskey? Yeah. Is it moonshine or whiskey?

And then I had ten or twelve of white claw potions. White potions. Claw potions. Claw potions sounds way better. Beach potions.

White girl potions. And my soul was literally wrecked. Batty just shut his computer off no i i think i tried to raid and i was like nah i just just fucking killed it this hurts dude because we were playing that stack up game i was eating mcdonald's the entire time i played maybe a single round his character didn't even move he was like go and you just hit enter you're supposed to stack your guys up as tall as possible like like mount your mount your friends yeah your friends and uh because we were playing

tarkov and i just right were we playing tarkov playing is a bear we were in tarkov yeah and uh it wasn't working towards the end so we switched over to that and i was and i hadn't eaten all day so i said immediately ordered mcdonald's through uber eats and i did the thing where i ordered way too much mcdonald's because that mana hit you yeah you ever get those mana munchies yeah some potions have the the side effect it drains your health if you get your magicka up. Exactly. You gotta have the meals. The meals are your health potions. Drinks are your... I get it.

So yeah, we were shithouse drunk at the end of that night. There's still, next to my PC, there's a 13 can staff just laying on the ground. There's like four miscellaneous cans around it. I woke up at 7 in the morning at first I woke up at 7

I was like I gotta pee so bad fuck and it's that like don't even open your eyes you walk to the toilet yeah and then you're like

oh my god pissing all over the place I'll clean it up later I'll deal with it later you reach for the flusher you can't find You walk away And you lay back down and you pass out I'm like no I'm not working today

I'm just sleeping until at least 10 Yeah it was I was on and off in bed Until 8pm Oh yeah you were just like I was fucked dude I threw up that morning and i was like i'm not better yet

He's like, I got a text from you like 1 a.m. Going, stream. And it's a one word text, man. Yep. Oh, man. So, Caleb, you started streaming. What got you into video games? What was your first OG one?

My first real video game that I first started being like, you know what? I like video games. I'm starting to get the idea. It was on Sega Genesis, a game called Beyond Oasis. You played as this prince, and his name was Ali. And it shows a cool little cutscene. He's opening this treasure chest. It shows his face.

It's like an armlet that he puts on. You can summon these spirits throughout the game. It was so cool, man. It was so intense. It sounds like some Prince of Persia shit. It was awesome. You had these swords. It was like a huge rpg where you had to go throughout this like you know whole world and find these different spirits it was like a rock spirit and like a water spirit

and a fire spirit and you could summon them like if you were in a dungeon or something you found like a torch you could blast it with your armlet and summon the fire spirit and he come out and fight for you and stuff was so cool, man. That was the first game that I was like, alright, I'm trying to get the hang of games and understand how to do this stuff and fight bosses. I've never heard of this game.

It was so cool, man. How old were you? 29. You guys, I'm mad. How old were you when you started gaming? Not right now. You just started Sega at 29. You guys on that. How old were you when you started gaming? Not right now. You just started Sega at 29. Yeah, I just picked it up.

Just literally before this podcast. It was amazing. It was pretty awesome. I've not played any other game. I don't know what any of this is. These statues, I don't know what any of this is. These statues, I don't know. But I think I was like six or seven, somewhere around there. Yeah.

Yeah, and then the next real game that I beat was the first Metal Gear Solid. Wendy's most important deal of the day has a fresh lineup. Pick any two breakfast items for $4. New four piecepiece French toast sticks, bacon or sausage wrap, biscuit or English muffin sandwiches, small hot coffee, and more. Limited time only at participating Wendy's Taxes Extra.

For PS1, that was whenever I was like, okay, I'm starting to understand these harder games now and stuff. And that was just like, it was it after that. I was like, oh man, I gotta play this game now. Because I was always so scared. I played Spyro and stuff and that was just like it was it after that i said oh man i gotta play this game now because i was always so scared like you know i played spyro and stuff like that but then i was like well i'll try metal gear solid now and you know i'm kind of nervous because it looks hard and then i was like all right and that's when it did yeah what's a russian gunship doing here i'm like the only person that never liked Metal Gear games I loved them dude Fox, Dark Ninja, Scrape Fox

It's no good Can't do it When you've got that rocket launcher aimed at him All I can think of is the Metal Gear Solid Old animated video where he's fighting the crab Crab battle Crab battle Look at those pictures

they could tear apart metal gear racks it's like so over the top I don't even know who made that but that's all whatever people bring

metal gear that's all I can go back to is just crab battle he's got a knife it's just a crab with his eyes hanging out

he's like in slow motion falling snake snake don't worry it's just a mayan crab or whatever oh yeah somebody calls hey snake what kind of crab that is dude metal i didn't know you were dude so metal gear is why i joined

the military oh really oh metal gear is my job that was Gear is why you joined the military? It wasn't for love of country? What? What's that? God, no. I wanted to be cool like Solid Snake. I wanted to fight giant robots and ninjas. Like, sir? Yeah.

Ninjas. Sir swearing on this Bible. Knock the Bible out and put Metal Gear in it. I'm like, there we go. I'm going to swear on my copy of PlayStation 1 Metal Gear. God bless god bless you hideo kojima which metal gear would you swear on the first one's still like my fave but number three snake eater yeah dude that's been the one that i played the most like i beat it so many times dude i think it was awesome snake it's bad enough when you and matt are together and you're flaunting it in my face Awesome. Snake Eater. Don't. I'm right here.

It's bad enough when you and Matt are together and you're flaunting it in my face. Dude, yeah. I love Snake Eater. That was one that I beat so many times trying to do all the crazy ways to beat it. Like fighting a big boss at the end where you could only use your knife and grenades. Man, I loved it. That was, oh man. That revolutionized gaming too. Every time Hideo would i loved it like that was oh man that revolutionized gaming too it's every time hideo would do a game like that yeah it's so different you have like metal

gear salt mgs1 the remake for the gamecube was phenomenal yeah mgs2 that's why my son's named raiden oh i didn't know that because of metal gear solid and And then Metal Gear Solid 5 was the last one that came out. And then to find out Liquid's name was Eli. I was like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Meant to be.

Meant to be. Meant to be, son. I'm so excited. Of course. That's for me. What other games? What are your big... So that's your main...

Dude, that was like the game that I was like, you know what? Maybe I'm a gamer. That was like... Because I can remember I watched my cousin. He was like six game that i was like you know what maybe i'm a gamer like that was like because i can remember i watched my uh like cousin like he was like six or seven years older than me and i had metal gear but i like never could like figure it out or like know what to do and then he would come over and play it and then like a year or two later i was like you know what i'm gonna try and

play it and beat it i think like dude i think i had like a crush on sniper wolf uh like i remember being like oh man she's so hot. I was like, this is cool. She's good with snipers. I was like, oh, this is cool. And her name's Wolf. I love wolves. It was like, dude, I was into it.

But yeah, I loved the Metal Gear Solid games. Freaking loved Skyrim, obviously. Like, loved Skyrim. Did you play the other Elder Scrolls games? Yeah, yeah. I played Morrowind. Morrowind was like my jam. I really liked Oblivion, too. Shivering Isles, bro, is still one of the greatest.

That was like the intro to big DLCs for games, too. Yeah, it really was. That was like the first game you were like, oh my god, this DLC is as big as the friggin' game. It's as much as the game. Oh yeah, loved Shivering Isles. I really liked Witcher. That was a really fun one, especially the newest one, Wild Hunt. Loved Shivering Isles. I really liked Witcher.

That was a really fun one, especially the newest one, Wild Hunt. Loved Witcher. Yeah. What are some other good ones? Obviously, I love a lot of first-person shooters and stuff, like the Call of Duty games. Everybody's going to be Halo. Loved Halo.

I'm trying to think of some other really good story games. Horizon. I never played it, but that was a PlayStation exclusive. So cool, man. I was like, the whole time I was playing it, it looks awesome. Even Steward looks awesome.

It was a really fun game. Man, that was one of my top ones that I talk about a lot to my friends. Oh, you have to my friends like oh you have to play this game you have to play this game uh love the resident evil games uh those are always fun dude i don't think there's like a game that i like don't like like did you write mmos ever like uh like the online ones and stuff like that or not league of legends but like uh ever wow yeah warcraft uh you know what i never never did get into any of them because I literally just now got onto PC like the last

six months. I've always been on consoles, so I never had access to those until... I know World of Warcraft came out on consoles like here recently. Oh, did it? Yeah, yeah. Or maybe it wasn't World of Warcraft. It was Diablo. Diablo came out.

Yeah, Diablo was a game at Sea also. Yeah, Diablo came out. Yeah, Final maybe it wasn't World of Warcraft. It was Diablo. Diablo came out. Yeah, Diablo was a game a few years ago. Yeah, Diablo came out. Yeah, Final Fantasy games. Loved the fact, like, loved VII and VIII. Loved X. Wait, okay. Tifa or Aerith? I'm in love with Tifa, man.

I'm in love with her. This weirdo right here said Aerith. I love Aerith, dude! Like, she she's obviously she's hot and she's super cute like tefa is just like she just does it for me i don't know what it is he gets me she's in that little skirt and her like little crop top oh yeah this is what i'm saying i told you baddie even in the comment section because we asked yeah say who it's like tiff it was eric eric the one shot in your dream world that maybe yeah right in my dream world so you just moved to pc you're saying that right yeah just like seven months ago i think i'm here to use a controller on pc yeah yeah i'll i'll like and i

i'll use mouse and keyboard for games like you gotta use mouse and keyboard he's not perfect no i'm a controller boy and you know i felt bad about it for a while i was like man i was like I use mouse and keyboard for games. Like, you got to use mouse and keyboard. He's not perfect. No. I know. I was liking him for a while. I'm a controller boy. And, you know, I felt bad about it for a while. I was like, man, I'm not supposed to do this. And then I, like, realized, like.

It doesn't fucking matter. Yeah. Do it to yourself. I was like, man, I was like, I feel bad. Especially because, like, when I got hooked up with SteelSeries and shit. And they sent me, like, all the mouse and keyboards and, like, all these games. I was like, okay, you know. And, like, I like it.

And I'll play it. Like, you know, the games that you have to use i like it and i'll play it like you know the games that you have to use that's keyboard i'm cool with it it's it's fine but for a game that i was already really used to on mount like a controller yeah it was like such a pain to try and like switch over because i and it was just like discouraging because i was doing so bad like i get like two kills a game and like it just it wasn't and it feels good it doesn't it feels nice to have a button that you press it and it's instant instead of like controller you go it's like you're tapping it over and over

and like trying to get crap and it won't do it you're like i'm getting shot and but i i switched to a scuff controller and it's got the extra buttons on the bottom and that's made a big difference so now i feel pretty good and then seeing like all these pro gamers like the world's like best call of duty players are all on control i was like oh shit i don't feel too bad now it's like if all these pros are doing it and then i guess i shouldn't feel too bad i can't do it yeah i could never go that route again yeah i used to love controller and then it does take time you have that transition yeah i was i was a console gamer yeah for the longest time like the only thing i ever did on pc back in the day was StarCraft.

Yeah, I played like old World of Warcraft. Yeah, exactly. RTSs and shit. But all my first-person shooters were always console. And then when I finally made the jump because of PUBG, when PUBG first really started blowing up when it was in early access, I made the jump because I was playing a lot of Destiny on Xbox. Oh, yeah.

Oh, man. Destiny. that was such a good demand i will say for a first-person shooter like how they did everything yeah like the boss fights were so the rate like the raids were epic fps raids are you fucking kidding they were amazing that's the one thing i was like oh this is they did this so good like the, the story was absolute garbage. Yeah, but it just played so good. Like, it looked good, and it played good, and like all the, yeah, man. You had good content. It had its ups and downs, like with quality of life problems, but like by the end of its cycle, it was like, by the end of, oh, God, what was? The last one was.

Not the Wrath of the Machine, the one before that, which was. The Oryx? Oryx, yeah. The Taken King, there it is. Jesus, I couldn Wrath of the Machine, the one before that, which was... The Oryx? Oryx, yeah. The Taken King, there it is. Jesus, I couldn't think of the name of it. Everything about The Taken King, the game was like, holy fuck. And then that game, I probably put 1,500, 1,600 hours into Destiny. I was a raid leader.

I used to run every... Every character, every week. Oh, yeah. that's how that's how we were dude we had like i had never been in like that kind of group but it was all my like in real life friends exactly yes we would every week we'd be like tuesday reset hit the night we could just do it tomorrow no we do it now drop drop drop drop drop yeah then the weekend for the raids and hitting the hard mode raids when they dropped like we finished every cyrus trials the weekends yeah god trials was fun dude trying to get it just so you could get on that little

island the lighthouse yeah i used to show people to the lighthouse and shit man i was good good at destiny we played that shit and uh and Destiny 2 dropped, and they forgot about everything they did to fix Destiny 1. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. I'm hearing Destiny 2 at this point, it's really good. That's what I was going to say. My friend like that, we used to play with. Because I don't even play with any of the dudes that we used to play with.

Yeah, straight up. It all fell off because we just lost the interest in two. And he hopped on a couple days ago, one of my friends, and he's like, man, it's pretty cool. He's like, a lot of this new stuff is pretty cool. We might want to hop in and check it out. I was like, I don't know now because I was on PS4. And now I don't know how that's going to transfer.

Like if my account transfers on PC or whatever. I think it does, but I'm not really sure. So I was like, man, I might just wait until the next one because supposedly the next one is supposed to be awesome or whatever. Yeah. But, yeah. Oh, yeah. So many hours into Destiny. God, when on, what was the...

Raids? On Destiny 2, whenever that whole new map came out, it was like the... I haven't touched Destiny 2. God, what was it called? Oh, I know what you're talking about. Yeah came out it was like the i haven't touched it too god what was it oh when oh i know you're talking about yeah you went to like the they're like dreaming city yeah it was in the the asteroids or what the fuck ever yeah the queen's fucking yeah yeah her place yeah we played some that that was the one time i jumped back in yeah it was like pretty cool and we had a lot of fun but then dude it was just becoming chores man there was so many new people that would come. And then you had Gambit and then all that because he had Gambit.

Gambit was fun. I played the fuck out of Gambit, too. You had the Queen stuff, Gambit, all your other Vanguard dudes. It was just a whole week-long thing. We were having to get on and grind this one day and then grind that one day. Honestly, it was a real MMO at that point. You had your dailies yeah yeah it was getting in team i wish i enjoyed it more if i if i had kept up with it as much like i did when

destiny one dropped and stayed in if i i hate joint like that's the reason i won't get back try i won't try wow again it's the reason i won't try elder scrolls online again like all these games i loved yeah because at this point i'm so far behind the curve i don't be like oh you just get the boost and not fuck that shit i don't that's not how i play i can't do that i can't get back into these games and now destiny like automatically does it for you it's like exactly once a new update comes out all your other crap that you hadn't worked for so long is useless now and uh but then they up your power level you know to like the new base level that way you you know you can pick up some crap but yeah oh it's so annoying that's what started

getting me like out of it because we would work so hard to get one gun to drop and then like a couple months later a new thing comes out and it's useless literally it's and they won't fix it most of the time it's just like it's useless now they've like nerfed it so much you don't even want to use it anymore well we've i don't know if we discuss it on this but uh i've talked to the guys about it that's what sucks with like mmos world of warcraft you have those like one year every other year new expansion expansion comes out and everything's obsolete like literally instantly obsolete where ever quest and final fantasy 11 the og and ultimate online yeah the og mmos that shit there was no level cap on items so a level one could toss on like yeah the most

badass here and you'd be like yeah i'm level one god shit in the head and explosion like yeah but because of that all the items also when expansions or whatever came out all that stuff still stayed yeah awesome bet yeah so you just have like oh cool like oh man we're on the third expansion oh everyone still uses the fungi tunic oh the fucking moss cover twig now they would do um and what was really cool with everquest is they would patch stuff or they would do um they would nerf stuff but they kept the pre-nerf items still in the game so if you had a pre-nerfed item before oh so that's cool the pre-new if that item dropped again it would have been yeah so we had like the dark elf one i had human mask and uh some other masks so i could instantly click and turn into a

dark or i was a dark i could turn a human whatever class i wanted to and i had a dark elf dark elf mask so it's instant it won't take long to tell you Neutral's ingredients. Vodka, soda, natural flavors. So, what should we talk about?

No sugar added neutral refreshingly simple applicable then they're like okay now you have a five second cool down and there's or you have a five second cast time blah blah blah but used to be you could keep it in your bag just click it in your bag yeah instant dark elf and you're like fuck yeah it's all those cool items yeah and like it's a little strong let's nerf it and change some stuff and then uh we'll go about it yeah okay yeah but all those items it was awesome because everything stayed right yeah that's nice years oh yeah and now it's the exact opposite oh yeah you get the power creep with new stuff and then you get games like wow where it's like cycling back the levels. Because they're like, well, we're level 200 now.

Fuck. Yeah. And it's going that way really quick. And the damage is less. And numbers don't even matter, really. Because I just see like, it was the last time I played WoW. I played like two weeks before the expansion came out. And you're hitting for like 10,000, 20,000 damage. Then the expansion coming out. out and you're hitting for like 10 000 20

000 damage then the expansion coming out and now you're hitting for like 900 and you're like i guess they just readjusted all the numbers again so all this is where boss helps or boss you know max health are dropped yeah a massive percentage crazy shit like that but yeah man fuck i loved mmos don't try one because you will get sucked in. Yeah, it's a lot of... See, that's my problem. I can't get sucked into them. Yeah.

That's why I don't play them anymore. I will allow you. He hasn't played one, though. Yeah. That's what we were saying. He's never played a fantasy MMO. Imagine throwing him into one. Yeah, I've almost downloaded WoW a couple times now.

Don't. Yeah, I've been... That's literally... That's why I went, man, I don't think I can. I was like like there's so many other things that i'm playing right now i was like and if i do i'm gonna get too into it and i'm just gonna be playing that oh my god i just thought of something what have you done vr yet yeah wait what what kind of vr just quest 2 what's quest 2 the oculus quest 2 okay but you haven't tried the the like I haven't done the vibe

Like I could see a mountain range. And I was like, it's the old thing. Yeah. And then you're reaching out interacting with it and it's like you're like i picked up a unicorn and i threw it i was freaking the fuck my buddy recorded me because he came over he's been doing vr stuff for a while and he came over and he was recording me like in my computer jazz i was just like walking around my room like it's so pretty dude it's a mind-blowing experience especially with like the index or the yeah that

at that i don't i got skyrim vr i haven't played it yet i i'm what i haven't looked to see if i can mod it yeah because like have you played you've played sky have you modded the fuck out of sky yeah i just because i just re-downloaded it like a month ago on pc i was like oh hell yeah i was like now it's time to add the cool stuff and make it look crazy pretty and the train is dragging oh i got the normal yeah yeah yeah i had macho man is the dragon yeah dude I haven't turned it on yet but I cannot wait to just be like well goodbye world I'm the dragon porn now I mean Walker my food already punched one of my monitors. Be like fucking jacked as hell. Like shredded when you come. I just want to be a stealth archer in VR.

I just want to crouch around my fucking room. My knees are hurting, guys. Yeah, they're going to hear your knees popping. What was that? You're like, oh. Stop. You violated the law. Huh?

I guess no one's there. You shoot him in the face with the arrow. Huh? I guess no one's there. You shoot him in the face with air. Huh? Oh, I guess no one's there. Yeah, exactly! I guess no one's there. Just looking around with air on their face. I guess it was nothing.

Dude, the Oblivion guards were the greatest thing. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. They had the spells on Oblivion, man. That's what I missed, was being able to make the like, the goofiest, like, overpowered spell. Do you remember Morrowind spell? No. Like, man, I was kind of young when I played Morrowind, so I don't, like, really remember

That was, like, my first, first big one, which got me into it. You could do, like, if you thought Oblivion spells were crazy. Yeah. Times a hundred for Morrowind. Oh, God. You could do whatever the fuck. Yeah. Like, you could just make, literally break anything. Yeah. And it was, like, you just, you could cast flying the fuck yeah like you could just make literally break anything

yeah like and it was like you just you could cast flying spells like permanent flying stuff so you could just be like yee you could jump to stuff and you can multiply it by like 100 so you just take a step oh yeah just be one punch man into the moon you know then coming down on the other side like it would obliteriter morrowind was like so it was unreal i can't even they allowed you to do whatever the fuck you wanted you could kill quest characters and a little message would pop up on the screen being like hey the moons and stars have unaligned you've forever ruined the timeline yeah oh yeah start over and you're like oh fuck i think i think you could like some of that crap could happen in

oblivion couldn't like people could die because there was one mission that i can always remember every playthrough on oblivion the same bitch would die it was this one mission where i had to go to like um like a ball or something and meet this girl there and like it was she would never show up and i was like what the hell it was like because i was like trying to do all the side missions yeah of course yeah i could never do that mission and i finally looked it up and i was like what the hell it was like because i was like trying to do all the side missions yeah of course yeah i could never do that mission and i finally looked it up and i was like yeah i was like if you uh travel this road you'll probably find her dead somewhere because sometimes like she'll random garden or yeah yeah she'll get killed by a bandit along the way and i was like what so i like walked for like an hour like trying to find her and just found her dead in a bush oh my god i like couldn't finish that mission and it happened almost every playthrough dude

there yeah there was a few in oblivion oblivion allowed you they'd never let you kill the main quest characters though and that's what was fucked about morwen you could just kill like like the main quest it's like i guess you're fucked and it would just be like start over like ah shit i hope you saved in the last 12 hours because no dude that's every quest you'd have those one oh some of those quests would be like the spawn time there's six minute i think it was six minute rotations for a spawn character a placeholder so you just placeholder pop kill it placeholder pop you're trying to get one creature spawn and they'd have that one creature would only spawn once every 24 hours and some had seven days yeah seven days you'd had that

one so you would just sit there for seven days straight just hate yourself yeah and you rotate you relax leave and do that and then you could still fuck up the quest by hand in so you're like a hand in that that and the wrong item it just it's like those items are gone and the quest givers like please start over yeah that's another power button on the pc well that's it for me this week i'm gonna go hate myself i can play need for speed or something there i'm gonna need for speed now i just want to drift cars real quick dude those like quests there's some games where man when you fail the quest like because you forgot to save or whatever but like older games where auto save wasn't as prevalent

like you could like a lot of new games you can set the auto save like every five minutes yeah older games it was like if you entered a new area it might save yeah yeah maybe and then you die like i remember dying in oblivion sometimes without saving i'd lose like eight hours bro right even i remember you had that problem fat power outages or game boys and you forgot to charge oh you're not watching it's a little light starts blinking red where's my charger i would just forget about it like this is fucking i'd be like, this is fucking... I'd be like, no, no, no, no, no. I don't even remember. I used to have me with Pokemon. Did I save today? Did I save today? It's 4 a.m.

I started yesterday. This has been 14 hours. And then it starts and you're like, oh. At mission two out of 16, you're like, fuck, fuck, fuck. Well, at least I'll go really fast at this one. I hated it. I hated it. I hated it.

The amount of time. The anger. And you couldn't even do anything. You'd just be like... Internal screeching. I'm going to go play outside. I guess I'll go lay in the sun a little bit. I haven't eaten

today. I guess I should have some food. That depressed walk. I'm on my fourth Mountain Dew. I guess I should have some food. That depressed walk. I'm on my fourth Mountain Dew. I need to go eat some real food. So mad at the world. God, I hated that stuff. Dude, my dad called me the other day.

So my dad listens to the podcast. And he called me. And he's like, so I heard you guys talking about your Pokemon cards and how much they're worth and i went looking through some of our old stuff and i i found all your old cards he's like sending them to you or no he goes no i'm just fucking with you there's but there was like a five second pause where i was like what dude i because i used to have everything all these cars like i know they're not gonna be the best shape but even like a charizard first edition charizard hologram it's not in the best day but she'll

And it was, I think I was like 16 and I had downloaded an emulator on my laptop

and I was playing. I was playing. It was Ruby or Sapphire. And I was doing this mission. I was playing. It was Ruby or Sapphire. And I was doing this mission. I was in this temple or something. And the floors would fall out from under you while you were walking through. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You had to run.

You had to go fast. You had to run across them. It was like a maze. And you had to be quick. So you had to be like, left, right, down, left, right, down, up, down. It's not on a Game Boy, so you don't have that little that little up down so you're trying to do i was on my like on yeah on the little uh laptop and and i was doing it and i i would fall through and i'd go like because there was so many floors of it to get to the top of this it was like a pyramid

and i got to i was finally i was just riding my because you could ride your bike through it to be faster yep and i did it i got to the main top and you through a room, and then it's just a giant open room, and you can see the little, it was like the little Pokeball that's like your chest, basically. You could see that in the middle of the room. And I was like, oh, I was like, I made it. And I took one step forward and fell straight through the floor. And then it went, like, it shows you, like, it loads each one. One, four, four.

It shows you go through this floor, shows you go through this floor, shows you go through this floor shows you get to this floor shows you get through this floor and dude each one you're just because i was doing it for like two hours man i was like i could not hardly do it on that laptop and i was doing it for so long and i stood up and i like spartan kicked my door like i, I literally, like, threw my whole body into my door, and it, like, blasted off the hinges and, like, hit the wall in the hallway and, like, put a hole in the wall. And I thought that I was, like, home alone, because this is when my mom was supposed to be in Arizona, because she was, like, doing her, like, little house flipping thing.

And I, like, kicked it so hard I fell into it so I like landed on the door and like busted the door up and busted the wall and then like rolled off of it and when I stood up she was like right there at the top of the staircase she goes what are you doing and

I was like I tripped on my ethernet cable because it happened before I was like, I tripped on my Ethernet cable. Because it had happened before. Like, I had ran, like, I wired an Ethernet cable through it, and I would trip on it all the time and, like, slam the door, like, slam the wall. And I was like, I tripped on it again.

I tripped right through the door. Dude, the whole, like, not even just, like, the hinges. It was the whole frame. I'm like, I'm blasted. whole frame i threw my whole body into it and the whole frame went flying off and then i was just i was like i tripped on my ethernet cable again oh and she's like it's truck month at gmc tackle the open road with added confidence in a 2025 sierra 1500 pro graphite at zero percent financing for up to 72 months with an available 5.3 liter v8 engine 20 inch high gloss black painted aluminum wheels off-road suspension with available two inch factory installed lift kit plus a towing

What's the maddest you've ever been in a game? Like, what was the most rage-inducing moment? Man. That is a...

Because you have, like, the one-offs online where you get mad, like, quick. See, I never really got too mad, like, gaming. Like, I was never, like never the toxic dude on the mic. That was never me. No, that stuff never bugged me. To my friends, I would be. I'd be raging at video games. Online games never made me too upset.

You're like, oh, that was bullshit. That happens. Online games, I'm just like, expect it these days. But it was always like, it was single player game. We're dinsies! Yeah, because that was the crap that would drive me nuts. I think it was Resets. I remember, I will say, was it Xenogears had one fucking mission.

Xenogears, and again, this is like PlayStation era. Before you go on Tips and Tricks or whatever and look up strategy guides for video games. Cheat Code Central. Yeah, Cheat CC. Like all those things. There was one segment in the game and i could not figure out these fucking puzzles it was like two days three days of this rpg and i'm just stuck in this dungeon running around running around running around

running around running around and then i'm like what the fuck am i supposed to do and then it's like the water there's a math one with water. Figure that one out finally. My GED. I was like, okay, this is seven. This is three. This is maybe five. I'm not sure at this point. That one took me a little bit.

Got it. Numbers. Yeah, and I was like, cool. Because it just says it's like something. It does a weird quote, and then you have to match that with these four different regulators on this pool and i was like i don't fuck i'll just guess shit until it works found it then couldn't same fucking exact same cavern just running around i was like i have no idea you get to the top there's a hole

you fall fucking down and then you go and you look around go back up top hole fall back down i was there's and there's one door and i was like this is literally fucking impossible i accidentally fell down the hole on like day two like i'm like fuck and i was holding up when i ran halfway through the hole there's a little edge that you're supposed to hit and walk forward and then there's a door there that's how you're supposed to get out of that dungeon you're like why why would the creator put something in a fucking you wouldn't even notice no and if they like games need to teach you something it's like yeah you've learned stuff it's like hey hey here's a small battle yeah now if you use that x button use that x button see what happens yeah boom okay yeah well here's a new thing here's two buttons

figuring it out you're like fuck okay the game's teaching me xenogears is well here's a new thing here's two buttons figuring it out you're like fuck okay the game's teaching me xenogears is like here's 50 hours in the game yeah we've never showed you this shit before do it good luck yeah and i'm like nerd in high school just like what the fuck is going on right now and then that game also had the stupid shit of not teaching you combo systems. So, other games you have, like, Final Indie Turn-based RPG. It's like, hit X, attack. Xenogears was like, cool, you hit X, X, you have, like, six AP. So, Triangle uses one attack. You can do Triangle six times.

Boom, boom, boom, you do a six-hit combo. Square, you go, you can hit that three times. Three-hit combo. X is two times. Yeah. So. You can do different different combos different button presses yeah and then you at like level fucking five you're like you've learned a death blow and then you learn one more death blow and it's triangle triangle x or triangle triangle triangle i don't how do you remember those combos because i played the shit

out of that game and that's stupid fucking good. That's like your death blow. And then you learn it and you use it. So it does way more damage than doing just the normal buttons. So you use that every fucking round. Like, I'm always going to use this. Because why not? So, after that fucking hole, there's a boss. Right after that. And that boss took me days

to beat days to fucking beat because it's like one boss fight and then you're like no save and immediately pushes you right into boss fight number two so you have to fight back to back and fucking dickhead boss number one what's his dying move i knock all your guys down to one hp sometimes so you're like cool i'm entering boss fight 2 with one hp and robots you can't fucking heal with so i was super fucking pissed but after that randomly i accidentally don't do a death blow and i'm like i hit like triangle x i was like fuck and i hit xx and i was like oh and it just did the weaker thing i was like and then it's like oh you learned a new death blow i was like wait what there's more than two wait wait what the fuck is this

there is a fucking metric shit ton you just as long as you're not doing the death random stuff yes you will learn more ones that are way more powerful yeah it was like 50 so you've been playing with the kitty gloves on this whole time you had brass knuckles under the motherfuckers all the entire time and like looking back it was like i played the game on hard mode yeah the whole time yeah just on extreme mode i was like run use the basic move yeah which i beat yeah which i did beat that game but holy fuck oh man raged so hard at that fucking game past that like i don't remember any ones where I just, like, EverQuest I did get really fucking pissed. I used to get real mad in Diablo 2 and PvP when I'd die because I'd miss a key combo or, like, I'd miss a meteor meter waiting for my cooldown and I'd hit it with something else. I'd get really mad about that.

But mine is a Pokemon one as well because like i played the fuck out of pokemon games that's like my jam still and it was soul silver which was the remake of the original silver version and i was uh what's called soft resetting trying to get a shiny legendary yeah loogie at the end of the game you can soft reset and try to get a shiny yeah you'd save right before it go away yeah not a shiny restart oh and then you just keep doing that over and over and over again uh i accidentally soft reset on the shiny because i was i was like in i was like you're just in reset mode yeah we're talking over a thousand resets over weeks of time dude i would i just sit down for a couple hours a day just doing that and i

remember going like oh cool and like i registered shiny pink belly i'm like oh did you play it again i broke my game this was the original uh ds and i straight threw it on the ground and it snapped the hinges and it was like it still worked but the top was like no longer was like connected so yeah i did not play much more of that after that i remember dude i was so fucking mad dude just yeah i just wanted a shiny lugia that's all i wanted i just wanted the shiny legendary i just wanted the shiny pink fucking lugia and i reset it oh my i will take okay i will say league of legends that's what game has made me the game now that i always forget like when you first started And I reset it. Oh my. I will take, okay, I will say League of Legends. That's what game has made me the game most.

I always forget when you first started streaming, you played League. Bro, League, I will raid. You want the most toxic community in the world? Play League of Legends. You hear that, League? Talking to you. You will be called every name possible. Literally every time.

Like Eli. Welcome to the League of League. possible literally every time like you are into the league but oh just the most toxic player base because everyone's so competitive and you are dependent in rank matches with four other random yeah and you can be a like i was a monster at top lane and jungle and i would like my top lane nasus i would just literally start the match i'd be like hey bot lane this is when nasus was op and i could carry i'd be like bot lane just don't fucking feed that's all i ask if you die once don't just be play it safe and then they're like back it up got it and then they die die die and you're like what the fuck did i just fucking say and then you have those little r's those r words down there just calling me like they're like, maybe you should help the team, boy.

I'm like, no, you little dumbass. You need to stop feeding, okay? Just let the jungle. Well, our jungle's not helping. Why the fuck would he? You're fucking getting murdered. That dude's fed as fuck. He's going to just be a part of that fucking meal.

Oh, oh, y'all. And I was just like breaking towers and just pissed off at the game. God, that game. You want to see me yell and rage i can see you angry right now i like it this is hot dude you can watch people throw fucking games like literally we are so far ahead all we have to do just don't work together where are you going why the fuck are you out there by yourself what are you doing what no stop get away from no dead and then you just see like one shift i mean it snowballs so quick as soon as they start feeding you have those one or two guys and then they snowball their power and then next thing you know they got three players that are all like

oh they're a lot stronger now what the yeah what? Yeah. What the fuck? Dude, I used to get Nasus to one-shot because he has a Q. He's like the only character where his Q, if you kill minions or bad guys, it stacks. So you have your base damage, and then it adds three damage. So you build up on fucking minions, and then you'd go after one-shot somebody.

Yeah, because people would be like, man, if you could get a Nasus stack. People didn't believe me. I could stack. A good NASA stack was like 200 stacks in 20 minutes. So you have 200 additional damage. I could get 400 to 450 in 20 minutes. And then I'd be like, doo-doo-doo.

And I wouldn't attack the other top laner and tell him in his jungle. If I was doing a rogue land, I was like, I got mine. I'm good. His jungler would come out and they'd be like let's go i'm like boom and you're just murdering everyone you're like why is nasa so bad he's on his x games mode we had one where he was just trawling out up to like 1.2 uh 1,200 stacks i could almost one-shot towers so they'd be like stay away from nasa and i'm already just built for tank like i don't do damage outside of my queue so i'm like

worthless but hold that queue i just go for ap so i could cue every 1.5 seconds so i'd be like please hold one second boom yeah penta kill entire teams they would just call me a raid bot she'd be walking around like just doing the work and they're like five people trying to kill you and like oh man but god i would rage so hard on that fucking game. Yeah, League was definitely the rage mechanic. Just stay away from League. I played League back when it first dropped, but that's really it. I was too much into, like, Call of Duty and FPS games to really play it, to give up.

And I didn't have a great computer, so I was a console guy. So League was never my jam. You talk about Xenoverse having those, like, where you just press random buttons and it would make a move uh that reminds me of a game called uh legend of legia oh yes legend of legia it was like it was kind of the same it was on playstation it was kind of same you could click like up and down left right and then x triangle stuff and you could just do whatever random combination and as you leveled up you would get more you would unlock more spots like so you could do another move this time and then sometimes you would make like crazy ultimate moves it was like

20 hits and then a mega like move would come out but uh that game was cool but i can remember i was stuck on a dungeon for like literally it was like a week on that game and cool, but I can remember I was stuck on a dungeon for like, literally it was like a week on that game, and I could not figure it out. It was like a puzzle I had to do, and I could not figure it out. And one night, like after I was like fooling around with it for like two hours, I remember I went to sleep, and it was like super late. And I had like a, literally like a vision. I literally, I dreamed about this game.

And I was like, oh, that's probably, and I dreamt of me about this game and i was like oh i was like that's probably and i like i dreamt of me doing this combination and i woke up at like three in the morning and like turned it on and like went and did it while i was doing it and it fucking did it and i was like what the fuck i've entered the matrix i got to like the next save point right after I got out of that dungeon and then just saved it. I was like, okay, I'm done. Now I can rest. It's been like a week.

You played four more hours, didn't you? No, no. I need a picture of that. Yeah. Yeah, literally. I was like dead asleep. It would have been way better. Oh, it would have been cool if it worked out.

Oh, that would have been cool if it worked. I guess that would have been cool. But it did fucking work. It did fucking work yeah and i was like yes oh yeah that was when i knew like i played the shit out of that game too that was a really cool one i played oh god dude it was it was an old the jade something oh man it was an original xbox it was like you had different characters you could play it was like it was like an rpg it was like, you had different characters you could play. It was like an RPG. It was a story game. I can't remember what the fuck it was. Jade Empire, maybe?

Yeah, Jade Empire sounds familiar. God, that was another one. That game, every character had all these crazy combos and shit you could do. That was... Those old games. That's like Final Fantasy Tactics. I was huge. Like, JRPGs...

Dude, Final Fantasy Tactics on Game Boy Advance? I fucking loved that game man but a lot of the secrets in those games also people didn't realize was like you had to steal like the mass immune was you only could get through thief so like how you build your characters and how do you do and specific characters that happen you had to steal stuff so i you literally like oh that's the boss and he had the mass immune. I just surround him with all my characters so he can't move. Yeah, and he's just like, theft.

Theft. And this dude's like, one shot. You're like, roush. Don't let him escape. Use your body to block his little diagonal path of movement. Final Fantasy X was fun I never played

any of the tactics oh man I forgot about that that's all this stuff comes back to like how most games

nowadays teach just hand you everything yeah yeah tutorials everything you had to learn

shit it's like here's how you do this there's no real secrets in games there's no there's just not a lot which is i think why i'm so sucked into tarkov because it's just a brutal butt fuck every time i play it

Different is calling. It reminds me of those old games that just beat you over it. Yeah, you're just like, well, go do it and see what happens. Literally. Have you played Tarkov yet? No, no. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I've been trying to stay awake. Are there games now that single player... First of all, are there single

player games anymore? As soon as you talked about this, it made me think I can't remember what game it was that was recently that I just had... It's like, yeah, go figure it out. I can't remember what fucking game was it was recently that i just had you it's like yeah go figure it out i can't remember what fucking game it was that's a hard one like yeah because i'm at the age though now where i'm like i don't have as much patience for stuff i just look it up if i can't find it i like want it kind of like clear and concise but it'll be like find this thing and if the verbiage is weird i'll be like i mean i guess i could is it here like dragon quest 9 that's what i'm playing right now

and it's like what is that on uh switch really is it fun is it good yeah i'm happy i haven't played a dragon quest since like four do that akira toriyama so it's like dragon ball character it's all the same art style yeah but there's like the quest i'm just like i'll like give it like 10 minutes of like trying to figure it out and then I'm like nope hey strategy guy go on strategy guy holds my hand and follows me let's go but now Demon Souls Dark Souls that's the only game now

that's like oh yeah those games just fucking ruin you and I haven't played Sekiro yet that's the one that I want like I plan on playing it soon cause I had just played Ghost of Tsushima and I was like which was a I need to play that soon. Because I had just played Ghost of Tsushima. And I was like, which was a freak. I need to play that. That game.

Dude. I don't like them. I've never liked them. No, Ghost of Tsushima. That's different than Dark Souls. Oh, my God. It ruined me on a lot of games, man. It's beautiful.

It's literally, it's what Assassin's Creed could be. Was that the one with the guy with the arms? No, that's Akira. Okay, okay. I'm mixing up those two. But Ghost of Tsushima, it was a PlayStation exclusive, and it was just like you were on the island of the Tsushima Island, and dude, it was just so good. That's the one I'm actually on.

Oh my God, it was awesome. And you start getting pretty far, and you're like, okay, I'm getting pretty maxed out. And then you do a mission, and then a skill tree opens up, and you get this new skill where you can go into death mode, where if you kill so many people without getting hit, you have this move you can unlock called ghost mode or whatever. And you just become, everything goes black and white other than blood.

Oh, you go to Lord of the Rings Wraith fucking mode? Pretty much. It goes black and white other than blood. And then you Wraith fucking pretty much it goes black and white other than blood and then you can just like people are like fucking terrified of you and they like start running but you can just chase them and like one hit like you just swing your sword and it'll do a finisher on is this like some samurai fucking dude it's it's it's Assassin's Creed but mega samurai it's like ten shoe me to excesses creep it plays so good it like the the sneaking is awesome.

The, like, the movement up and down like trees and on building stuff is so much more, like, like, fluent than Assassin's Creed. I know the name. Dude, so good.

And a multiplayer came out, like, not too long ago and I never did get to, like, I was playing something else since when I switched to PC so I never did go back.

But, dude, literally, it was like that and the last of those two were the last two games that I played on PlayStation. And, dude, it was so awesome. Like the last of us two were the last two games that i played on playstation and dude it was so awesome like that was like i think i like a hundred percent of that game just because it was you had all these cool like you get to one island and there's these other like road like the ronin samurais that are after you and they're just waiting for you across the map and you'll like you'll be exploring a little town where like you know it got all killed

by like mongols and there's just one samurai that's like next to the beach and you'll walk up and you'll talk to him for a minute and he'll go into this like little mode where your guy like is sitting there and then he pops his sword out and then you have like a big duel with him dude it was it was insane it's so good dude and the guy oh man and it's it's so pretty it's so pretty like there's no like there's cinematic mode where you can take photos yeah there's oh there's nothing like a red dead and shit has cinematic mode and everything like that yeah there's nothing on your screen like there's nothing that points that points you slams your your widescreen bars yeah yeah but the game in general there's like there's not like a

health bar and there's not like a map or anything like that there's whenever you're supposed to be going in a certain direction the wind just blows that direction and and so it's's like you see the flowers move and the trees move and stuff like that, and you're like, all right, that's the way I've got to go. Dude, it's so beautiful. I'm not doing a download this night. Dude, it's beautiful, and it was so good. I have a PlayStation that I use to exclusively play Final Fantasy VII Remake. Just waiting for the next chapter to come out.

Have you beat Final Fantasy VII Remake? Yeah. I haven't yet i haven't i haven't beat the remake yet either i mean so it's not the full yeah yeah it's a halfway episode yeah it ends at megar i think yeah right that's what i heard it's like yeah it's half of the game okay cool i mean it feels like a little less than half i'm not gonna lie it feels like a third i see like a three i don't think they're gonna and i think it is three. Okay, cool. Well, good. God, now I'm going to want to play Ghost. It's so good, man. Literally.

Because then I got Assassin's Creed Valhalla for PC, and I just can't even make myself play it, man. And I know so many people love it. I miss Assassin's Creed. So Assassin's Creed 1, and then what was the second one? Ezio. Dude, Ezio, oh my God. They were so good. The first couple were so good.

Unbelievable. And then, like, everything changed like after, was it Unity, I think was the last one? And now,

like, the fighting style is kind of weird and like, the pairing is kind of weird. Things are just buggy too. Yeah, it's weird. Like,

I just like, lost interest in them after like, so many, but those were so good. The stories were so fucking cool. Yeah, so cool. Like,

weaving history in and out. Oh yeah. The original Assassin's Creed 1. It was so cool. Weaving history in and out. The original Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 with Ezio and Altair in the first were two of my favorite without a doubt two of my favorite games. It was also like the first real Assassin style game where you were just

one shot your death. You could just walk around and murder people jumping out of shit like deflecting somebody's like sword and then jamming a sword into their throat like that was like yeah there's a parry system and everything it's like uh the newer ones don't really have that parry system until you get like certain weapons it's like you got to like get so far into the game and find a weapon that allows you to parry like that so it's like i don't know man they just don't feel as good to me anymore and i can't make myself play them and then i played ghost of shima i was like this is what it could be oh man dude you learn these like different you got like six different or four or five different fighting styles like stances

that you stand with your katana as you like play dude it's so cool man it's like one of the best games i've ever played okay i love it. I'm going to play that one. It's so good. And it's like sad. It's got a really good story. It's like a really deep story. It's awesome. Yeah, you guys would love it.

I need a good story game anyway. Something to... Yeah, yeah. You'll love it. I'll play that one next then. Oh, yeah. Sekiro, you'll like. Yeah, I need to play it just because of playing the other ones.

I know. And that's all I hear is how rough it is. It's just not my style of the game. No, it's like you kill a boss and then it has a second life. Like all the bosses have two life bars. So you're like, dead. And he's like, what? And you're like, I'm so tired.

My hands are wet. My hands are wet wet I need a nap that reminds me of like whenever you're playing old school like PUBG or whatever when you get in like that top 10 mode it's just like you're doing fine you're fine all of a sudden you look up you're like oh 11 left then you look back up 9 left you're like sweat

like when we were trying to play Fortnite real big man because that was like the first like real real battle royale that I had played. And, God, I can remember, like, dude, I was, like, dizzy after games, man. Like, if we won games. You rose out of breath in four minutes. I would, like, sit there for a minute.

I'd be, like, man. I'd be, like, oh, my God. Why? I'm about to fucking pass out, man. Dude, like, it's so stressful. Yeah. Even, like, even Warzone, dude. man like it's so stressful yeah even like even war zone dude like sometimes now if it like especially if you're like the last one you're like and there's like uh like two or three other

teams up and you're like trying to hide and dip and like sweating like you're like your body isn't moving like for a little while it's like your heart isn't like pumping blood or anything you're there for a minute and then once it's done you're ah. That high intensity, that adrenaline spike from those style games, that's why I went from PUBG to Tarkov. Because Tarkov, for me, early on, not so much anymore, every single game, it was like being in a top ten in PUBG. That's how I described it when I was first playing Tarkov. Now it's different, but I miss that.

I'm locked up. I'm in full nerd neck gamer mode. I'm just sweating. I can feel know I should you know like full nerd naked gamer mode I just sweat and I can feel in my hands or you gotta stop the guy Yeah, you're like. I'm like wiping my joysticks and shit on like Like a sweat on my arm like destiny rage you get to the last cuz every rate Oh, yeah, final boss, and you're like dude. We're about to perfect this raid We're gonna get all the gritty at the fucking perfect loot and shit hard mode and then that one dude trying to do the jump it's my turn to do the jump buzzer you're like

alright I can do it like jumping it you're like so fun Why would I would never understood why that goddamn game put Mario platforming Yeah, I'd be like jump and they'd be like no double jump wait, why do we have a warlock doing this? He's going to blow. No, no, no, no. We need a titan with a booster and a double jump hunter. I'm going to titan. I would be the one that usually did it. Me or Freddy would be the ones that would do the jumping on Oryx. Every time. Oryx was that motherfucker. I love it.

I was god mode when it came to the Oryx fights. Like the dick walls with the punching. That's what we called it. We called it the dick wall. Right before you got to Oryx, you had to do the jump on the platforms. And it had like the boom, the giant fists that would shoot out of the wall. Yeah. Why can't I remember this?

Probably because you blocked it out because it was awful. Yeah, probably. Because it was annoying. You'd just be like, yo, because I used to Sherpa people through these raids. And we'd be like, come on, man. Everybody just stand here. We'd wake and then I'd step out of the way and just all of them get one shot oh that's when the

yes okay now I remember where you're doing that fucking you'd go from one side yeah this is a good fall you'd go from one side

wrap all the way around and go to the other side I met Ray as a hunter and sometimes as a Titan I remember you'd get hit by one you'd fly into a center pillar you wouldn't die if you had enough health and shield.

Then you could jump and jump, you could skip the entire thing. I used to do that with a Vault of Glass as well. Oh, Vault of Glass. Do we cheese as mini-bosses? Oh, of course. Yeah. Dude, was that Oryx? No, it was the king when he slammed down and you had to have a sword. Who's that? Crota? Crota. Oryx's son is Crota. Yeah, so Crota, the Crota fights

where you just do that. Oh, I mean, I soloed Crota. You could solo and duo that. You would do the reset or somebody like DC and then plug it back in and Crota's just frozen.

Yeah. And you're just like, you just walk out of your box. Stab, stab, stab. Dude, we used to cheese all of those motherfuckers. Oh my God, I miss that.

Dude, I miss Destiny. I want to play Destiny now. Fuck. If we got one game, if they do a really good first person raid, but even bigger raids, because that's why EverQuest, you didn't have a raid cap, so we'd be doing 120 man raids

against dragons and shit. Yeah, dude, it would be fucking insane. Yeah. And on 56k modem, you best believe I was lagging I cast a spell I think I did I'm dead okay that's terrible oh my god did you ever get into like D&D or anything like that

no I never did play anything like that role playing no no I never did play anything like that I never got to do what kind of D&D character would you make if you were in one of our I really don't even know

like a whole whole lot about are you a dwarf are you a dark elf are you a are you a human yeah I'd probably an orc

no I don't know because i don't know all of their special powers and stuff don't what would you want to be well what is my options like there's a like it's like endless right there's a lot yeah but what's your race let's start with your race we're gonna build you a dnd character right now i'm a dm so like this is what i do don't worry okay so it depends like are you do you feel like you want to be a magic user a tank no i'm gonna be a tank that's yeah like okay okay so that helps narrow this down like there's always a type work and stuff you have half work we never go oh yeah half work half work dwarf so half barbarian barbarian barbarian's a class simmer simmer goliath is your your typical

that sounds pretty cool glass are like like part giant usually. They have like a grayer skin. They're pretty cool. You have something called Furbolgs, which are like more typical fantasy giants. A lot of times they have large beards. They can almost have animalistic appearances as well, but they're also fucking huge. You see a lot of them that are

living in the woods and shit. Those guys are pretty cool. But of course, dwarves. You have your human tanks. Yeah. I like my dwarf tank is always. I mean, yeah, it's a,

it's a classic. So yeah, we easily, you have your typical tank. So you, then you have your pal, you want to be a paladin. So you got to look at your God,

you got a little magic or you just go straight fucking barbarian. Yeah. I always like having a little bit of magic. Like, I mean, when, like say, let's say Skyrim,

I would always do the Norse or the Norse. I'll do the Nord and I would have usually a sword and a spell in the other hand. It was almost always how I ran, other than, like, dungeons, doing sword, or bow and arrows. Wait, you like the Nords? Nords. Really? Hmm. Yeah.

Weird. Crazy. Who would have thought? A little bit. Weird. The tattoo didn't get me, you know? I liked them pretty well. Okay, so in that case easy

go paladin pick a god a Norse god you can go with Tyr that's usually a really good yep absolutely some sort of Fenrir

familiar easy okay yeah that'd be I mean I love wolves Tempest good Tempest Tempest is your fucking god that's more

Good. But. Tragic. Love it.

I'm growing up with the wolves. I'm part wolf. I love them. And then I grow up, and I'm a big, strong survivor out in the woods. I've got these wolves running with me all the time. I'm the alpha wolf now. What's your character's name? Reaching back to you.

What was your Skyrim character? Yeah, I was going to say, that's what I was going to say. I saw that one. I was trying to think of names that I always get. You could go with your stream name, which is? Yeah, Grizzly Puncher. Yeah, I was going to say that. That's his character's yeah what is grizzly puncher you beat a bear up once like grizzly puncher we're trying to do comments like grizzly puncher are you ready it's like oh yeah he was raised by wolves he doesn't speak english

god I hate bringing him to the bar. Dude, where did Grizzly Puncher come from? Dude, everybody always asks that. And I could just, it's Halo days. We would make, whenever you could make a free account and have free live for a month, we'd make accounts all the time. And we would just come up with like- I remember that.

You'd get the little cards in the mail and shit of the 30 days of trials? It would count time. I would just, we would just have like, we're like, well, what's a cool badass town? And then, you know, we had a whole clan that was like baby stomper. We had... That's some, that's 12 to 17 year old period.

That's perfect. Baby stomper, baby kicker. Puncher, yeah, baby kicker, baby puncher. There was a whole like clan of us and we were like baby, beat up babies. And that was like our clan. And then I finally was like, you know what? I can buy an actual account now. I can pay for it.

And I was like, what do I want it to be? Because at first, I had Dr. Machete legs. That was one of my big ones for a long time, was Dr. Machete legs, and I had that on everything. Yeah, it's not a very common thing. Yeah, exactly. Weird, it's not taken yet. Congratulations, this one isn't taken.

Weird. But then Grizzly Puncher, man, I just thought it was like, oh yeah, it sounds cool. And this dude is like strong and punches grizzlies in the face. I was like, that sounds pretty cool.

And I just like, it just was always my name on Xbox and then I switched to PlayStation and I was like, yeah, I'll be Grizzly Puncher on here too. And it worked and it's just been that

since I was like 12. That's, so. Goddamn. I really want him in a dnd campaign absolutely it's either you scream in a wolf voice yeah or you just do normal Hey guys, I was raised by wolves. You can come and go, ahhh! Just cut between the two, there's no in between. Hey guys, I was raised by wolves. He's just so nonchalant about it until he's in combat and he turns into a fucking wolf.
