I have to slow down when I say 10 00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.560 your full name, and it only happens when I have 11 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.680 When I say your surname as well, I'm just saying 12 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.159 John Luke, It's all good. But when I say PSYCHEKEI 13 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:09.840 and it's like, no, this is John Loop. 14 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:13.120 That's a new one.

The reason we have more energy, Lucy, well, 20 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:39.799 at least for John Luke and I is because we're 21 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.640 recording this at ten am as opposed to like thirty am. 22 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.120 I also have more energy because I fell asleep last 23 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.519 night at ten thirty and I woke up at like 24 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:57.200 eight fifteen. I don't know why so much, but it 25 00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:57.920 was good. 26 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.040 Face sleep. 27 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:06.640 Sleep. 28 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:12.080 I did that on was it Monday? Because the internet 29 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.360 Comcast went out in the entire Bay Area at like 30 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:25.400 o'clock except for Internet. Who's laughing now, but it went. 31 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:28.520 The Internet was all gone. We're like, that's ten, it's ten. 32 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.280 What do we do. We're like, let's just go to sleep. 33 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:33.840 We just go to bed, and it was great. 34 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.400 I love that the entirety of like gaming Twitter in 35 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.680 the Bay Area specifically was like online being like, man, 36 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:42.960 maybe I should like read a book or something like 37 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.319 this is what finally convinces us to stop playing video 38 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.360 games and like do something. 39 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:52.800 Like So my entire life is just moved in the 40 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.520 middle of getting furniture. And on Monday, my TV unit 41 00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.439 arrived and I went to Japantown. I went for dinner, 42 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:01.960 I picked up a couple of things, and I came 43 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:03.879 back and I was like, Okay, it's a Monday night. 44 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.080 I'm going to build this TV unit and sort of 45 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.479 like settle in. And it took me a while because 46 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.039 I also got my booster, and my booster meant that 47 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.439 my arm was pretty dead. So I basically built it 48 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:19.120 one armed and I was quite proud of it. About 49 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.879 ten o'clock, I was hooking my consoles up and I 50 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.560 was like, yeah, I'm gonna finally finish Guardians of the Galaxy. 51 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.879 And I plugged it in and no shit, that's when 52 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.639 all the Internet died, and I was like, well, I 53 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.120 guess I'll go to bed in like just pure spite. 54 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.039 I went to bed and I was like, I because 55 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:42.520 I was going to like just hook them up, leave 56 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.919 everything updating and stuff overnight. No, and then yeah, because 57 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:48.719 it was out for a good hour. 58 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.719 Longer, yeah, like two hours. 59 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.520 Having sonic internet pays off. You get dogshit speeds. But 60 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.280 when the rest of the city is done, I was. 61 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.039 I was streaming at the time. I got like, I 62 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:08.759 got like three messages from people being like, how are 63 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:15.879 you still streaming? I'm like I was playing, like like 64 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:16.720 the thing is. 65 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:18.120 As well as like being back in the UK for 66 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.720 six months, I didn't bother to get a new phone. 67 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.519 I've been I've been using like my American phone, but 68 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.040 I had I had this travel booster, but it meant 69 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:27.680 that I had to be really careful with the amount 70 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.319 of data that I used, so I turned off mobile 71 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:34.560 data for like everything video. And then I got here 72 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.560 and it was Monday night, and I was like, well, oh, 73 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.319 I actually have mobile data in this country. That's not 74 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:42.120 going to cost me like an arm and a leg. 75 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.319 So I guess I could just watch something. But then 76 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.240 it was just it was just on the tiny screen, 77 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.319 and I was like, no, I'm just gonna I'm just 78 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.519 gonna read. And then I got depressed, because that's what 79 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:56.800 our life is now. It's required, it requires an depression. 80 00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:01.160 Damn, oh god, it's so tile. 81 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.720 You have it. I mean, like I think, I think 82 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.279 it's fine. Just just need to let us live. Let's 83 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.000 let us live our online lives. That's what we're all about. 84 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.079 I mean the worst, the worst thing for me is 85 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.480 the fact that, like, when you think about it, really 86 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.759 like the fact that everyone has a kindle and it's oh, 87 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.240 I could just read something, but I have to recharge 88 00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.360 my book. Just is if you had to explain that 89 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:29.839 to me when I was a kid, I'd be like 90 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.199 that just sounds like a terrifying existence. 91 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:34.120 The future sucks. 92 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:35.680 Future sucks. 93 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.319 You know what doesn't suck video games? And we have 94 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.839 been playing hello video games. So Jean Luke, what we've 95 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:45.480 been up to. It seems like you've got You've got 96 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:46.240 a few games. 97 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:52.360 Here, although two of them, so I've been messing around with. 98 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.439 I played fort stuff for like an hour last night, 99 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.639 not really that much into it. It's also my first 100 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.199 Fortsa game, so maybe everything I'm about to say is 101 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.720 like obvious to forts to fans. But I was just 102 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.120 that game's just fun. That game just wants you to 103 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.959 have a fun time. Like you load it up and 104 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.759 immediately it's just a cut scene where your car fault 105 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:18.920 like drops out of a plane and then you lay 106 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:20.959 on the road, and then it's just like you're driving 107 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:22.600 now and you just go and then you're like this 108 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:23.759 is great. And then it's like all right, now you're 109 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.839 driving a different car, and now you're in a sandstorm, 110 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.639 and now you're in like a super cool race and 111 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.600 the plane is like flying above you as you're racing 112 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.319 super fast and you're gonna hit the finish line and 113 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.879 you're like, oh man, this it just is like have 114 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.720 have fun.

I was like, 154 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.959 this is very dreary. I'm okay, but. 155 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.439 Like my secret cat for the UK is dreary. 156 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:32.720 Yeah, so I'm excited to check out this new one 157 00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:33.879 car on. 158 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:35.840 Oh no, yeah, I mean I was just gonna say, 159 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.000 like kind of leading into that what I've seen so far, 160 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.039 Like I really like the setting of Mexico, Like, I mean, 161 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.440 it looks absolutely beautiful, and like I'm still because I 162 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.159 only played in an hour. I'm stuck in that like 163 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.960 starter area where it's like, you know, just kind of desert. 164 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.080 But I've like I was watching videos and I've seen 165 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.519 all the different like biomes they offered. It just looks 166 00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.840 like there's a. 167 00:08:58.879 --> 00:08:59.679 A lot of variety. 168 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:03.600 So oh yeah, I'm I am pumped to play more, 169 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:08.320 play more Horizon. Has anyone else been playing it? 170 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:09.039 Oh I've been. 171 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:12.559 I've been losing my shit with Horizon. I love. I 172 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:17.879 didn't really like Horizon for the UK one for reasons 173 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:19.919 that you just said. It was just one of those 174 00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:22.879 where I'm like, Horison is like super exciting and vibrant 175 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.440 and colorful and like everyone's screaming all the time, Like 176 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.039 that's just not what the UK was in comparison to 177 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:34.840 a place like Australia or Mexico. So I'm I'm enjoying 178 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.919 Horizon five, especially just because like they've constructed each one 179 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.919 of their quote unquote campaigns in a way where it's like, oh, 180 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.639 if you just want to focus on dirt racing, you 181 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:48.480 can just focus on dirt racing. Do you just want 182 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:50.080 to do street racing? Do you just want to do 183 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.200 road racing? Do you just want to do cross country? 184 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.159 And you can just like do whatever you want to do, 185 00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.879 And if you just keep doing that, you'll keep unlocking 186 00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.360 more races like that, and you'll be able to just 187 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.120 keep doing that. So I can just ignore street races, 188 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.759 which are my least favorite competition, just because I'm not 189 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:13.960 good at drift turning at all. But it's like, you 190 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.240 don't have to drift on dirt because dirt slows down 191 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.120 your car and it makes turning so much easier. And 192 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.440 I'm like, and I can just keep doing this endlessly 193 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.960 forever and the game will just keep giving me races. 194 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.559 I'm sure at some point I'll cap off, but until 195 00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:28.279 that point, I can just have the time of my life. 196 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:30.919 Wish the soundtrack was a little bit better. It gets 197 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:36.080 a little bit repetitive after three ish hours with the game. 198 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:39.039 But your own soundtrack, yeah, Like I'm just now at 199 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.919 the point where I'm like just listening to my own 200 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:44.799 music playing the game. But I was kind of hoping 201 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:49.960 that Xbox would have just like Dug Deep, and it's like, Yo, 202 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.720 let's get a lot of Mexican artists on here to 203 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.480 record a bunch of original music. And there is like 204 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.840 some of that there, it's just not enough to I 205 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.039 think support Like, if you're going to plan on playing 206 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.039 this game for like fifteen hours, you'll hear like the 207 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.519 same songs like each fifty times. 208 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:13.080 So wait, so how are you playing your own music. 209 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.559 You like, you've got Spotify or something going. 210 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.240 Yeah, I just have a Spotify going. I heard that 211 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:25.159 there is a way to have the Spotify app going 212 00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.320 in the game at the same time, if you just 213 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.759 wanted to play the music over it. I have not 214 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.879 investigated this, though, so do not quote me on this. 215 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.320 This is just something that I've heard. I've just been 216 00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:40.000 like playing it on my own speakers while I am 217 00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.080 playing the game. But I have heard that this is 218 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:43.080 something that you can do. 219 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.759 I get because I feel like you can, at least 220 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:49.039 at least on PlayStation. I remember PS four you could 221 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.159 do that with some stuff, and so I if I 222 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.960 made this up, I remember Xbox three sixty I would 223 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.679 plug my iPod in and I feel like, yeah, yeah, yeah, 224 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:04.320 I remember doing that. Oh that's cool. I might, you know, 225 00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:09.159 slowed dot today. I might make some playlists. That's all 226 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:12.639 the energy of Patrick Bateman returning some fucking videotapes. 227 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:16.320 I'm sorry, I'm gonna I'm gonna jump into Foes Horizon 228 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:23.360 and then fire up a true crime podcast in the 229 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:24.679 Shadows they Killer. 230 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.240 Although can I also like just add and like this 231 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:32.519 is a weird, weird thing for as a Horizon five 232 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:37.120 if the load screens are like three three and a 233 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:40.120 half seconds long, and so every time it happens, I'm like, 234 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.840 this is way too fucking long. Why is this taking 235 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.159 such a long time? Like, of all the games I've 236 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:49.480 played on Xbox, I think Forza is like the longest 237 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:53.360 that I've had load screens in the past year. But 238 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.639 it's still like so short, but it's not so short 239 00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.320 that I'm noticing it, And I'm like, this is how 240 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:01.759 spoiled past year has made me that a three and 241 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.360 a half second load screen is like, this is way 242 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:05.799 too long. 243 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.000 Just be thankful you're not on past gen. I was 244 00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:10.559 watching a Digital Foundry video and like the opening of 245 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:12.879 the game will like I said, when when it has 246 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.120 the thing where you jump out of the plane into 247 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:19.080 the road, it seamlessly transitions between the video of like 248 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.120 your car falling from the plane and the gameplay. That's 249 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:23.759 what happens when you play it on the current gen. 250 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:27.200 When you play it on an Xbox One, there's a 251 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:31.720 thirty second black screen loading time in between those like, oh, 252 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.000 like just that that seamless thing they were trying to 253 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.279 set up gone so better than that. 254 00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:42.879 I'm looking at the soundtrack Buffalos and the Horizon five 255 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:43.799 and this company is on. 256 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:49.080 Huh, there's some good music on there. There's just like 257 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:54.000 not enough to satisfy like fifteen hours with this game. 258 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.519 See. The thing that I'm seeing is like there's a 259 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.200 couple of songs in each radio station that I'd like, 260 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:01.960 can you like bind them into like, oh, I'll just 261 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:04.159 all of these. 262 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:07.600 Yeah, like a good question that I do not know 263 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:08.320 the answer to. 264 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:10.519 I love when games that you should do that. 265 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.720 Yeah, it doesn't seem like it. Yeah, I'm going to 266 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.799 play that. I'm definitely gonna play that once I've unpacked 267 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.080 my Xbox down my new apartment. Very excited. Well, el 268 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:21.360 so have you been checking out? 269 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.039 I have briefly also been playing a little bit of 270 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.720 Call of Duty. However, I've only been playing the multiplayer 271 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:30.879 because I've been playing with a friend of the show, 272 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:34.120 Matt Paget. I don't really know if I have anything 273 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:40.279 to say about it. It's call it's call of duty. 274 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:44.159 I don't know. I feel like me and everyone else 275 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:45.840 on their net is just kind of given call of 276 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:50.320 duty this year a big old shrug. You know. It's 277 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.200 there's just not it doesn't seem to be much to it. 278 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.279 I haven't heard anyone talk about that campaign, which I 279 00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:57.960 still want to check out. I do. 280 00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:01.080 I really want to check out the campaign, yeah. 281 00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.759 Because I'm curious how they handle it. But it Yeah, 282 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.440 it's just kind of a weird one. It's world War two, 283 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:10.559 but it doesn't feel world War two at all in 284 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:14.879 the way, like the guns feel like everything feels very modern, 285 00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:16.759 which I understand why they went that route, but I 286 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.320 think as someone who like likes, like, like, if I'm 287 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.200 playing a World War two game, I want to play 288 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:24.240 it like a World War two game. Like I got 289 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.120 the M one Grand because I'm like, ah, yeah, like 290 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:27.960 I want to hear that ping and I want to 291 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.759 you know, like, but it's a shit weapon to use 292 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:34.120 in this game, because it's just like you're just like, well, 293 00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:37.279 this weapon is like a single fire rifle. I'm just 294 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:40.399 gonna go pick the the SMG and I'm gonna put 295 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.759 like an AID cog scope on it because realism, and 296 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:45.679 then I'm just gonna shoot everyone. And again I don't like, 297 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.120 I don't care about the realism like that. I want 298 00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:51.879 to Wow. My issue isn't like, oh, they're not being 299 00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.320 realistic to the setting, like whatever, who cares but it's 300 00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:59.440 more that it's just like, why nothing about this feels 301 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:03.279 World War two to outside of like purely the the 302 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.039 window dressing, Like nothing about the actual gun play feels 303 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:07.799 like a World War two games, So it's a few 304 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.120 it's kind of weird. It feels more just like a 305 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.399 modern warfare skin right now. 306 00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:17.480 It's really interesting that that franchise has gone from a 307 00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:21.720 thing that you know, it was, uh, you know, the 308 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:25.879 hardcore gamers paid attention to it, and the the kind 309 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:30.919 of like the normies paid attention to it because yeah, 310 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:35.360 the call of duty, Andy's they're called. But like now 311 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:37.720 we've reached the point where the hardcore gamers are like, 312 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:40.720 you know whatever, and the normal but the normies are 313 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:42.960 still all over it. So it's like, I think it's 314 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.799 like moved beyond, like we have stopped paying attention to 315 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.480 it at this point, and like the general gaming audience 316 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:53.639 is like, yep, that's just background noise to the gaming 317 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.919 world at this point. But like the people who like 318 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.120 the mainstream that the last the vast majority of people 319 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.720 who you know, the FIFA players and the they're like, oh, 320 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.839 the there's new card out, sick and they'll play it. 321 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:06.640 And though they're the kind of ones that are kind 322 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:09.000 of keeping the call of the ecosystem going right now. 323 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:12.519 Yeah, I imagine so because also, like everything about that game, 324 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:17.400 like they have just doubled down on the like progression 325 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:20.160 where there's so much progression now and again, I don't 326 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.519 think there's anything new for anyone who's played called the 327 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:24.880 last couple of Call of Duties. But it's like, not 328 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:26.759 only do you have like the weapon progression, but you 329 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:31.880 have like individual character level progression. And then they have 330 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.559 a battle pass and the battle pass is whack because 331 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.759 I was like, okay, battle pass, let me look at this, 332 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:40.039 and it was like all right, even pay your ten 333 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:43.839 dollars and get the battle pass. Most of the things 334 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:47.440 in the battle pass don't even unlock stuff in Vanguard. 335 00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:50.160 It was like every like five things was like a 336 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:52.039 Vanguard thing, but most of it was like oh this 337 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.160 unlocks in war Zone or this unlocks in Black Ops. 338 00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:57.720 So to get the most use out of the Battle Pass, 339 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:00.440 you have to be the kind of person who just 340 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:05.839 only plays every Call of Duty. And I'm like, who 341 00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:08.680 who is who does this? This is like bizarre? 342 00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:12.640 So I an activision Blizzard is like, what isn't everyone 343 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:15.680 playing war Z out, it must. 344 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:19.200 Do something, because I can't imagine Activision Blizzard wouldn't like 345 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:21.759 that feels like something you you would want to try 346 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:23.880 and like get as many people as possible to get 347 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:26.160 the battle Pass. But for whatever reason, that's the route 348 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:28.960 they go with. It must work for that audience. But 349 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:32.240 I I was just so turned off by all of 350 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.200 that stuff where I was like, I none of this 351 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:38.359 is appealing to me in the slightest so and I'm 352 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.400 can you like, can you imagine someone who just like 353 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:42.640 buys the new Call of Duty this year and there's like, oh, 354 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:44.759 battle Pass, I get that, and then they're like what 355 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:50.839 it unlocks stuff complete game that I had to uninstall 356 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.680 to fit room for the new one because they take 357 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:56.839 up so much goddamn space, Like what like like if 358 00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:58.680 I want to use that battle Pass, I literally have 359 00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:02.039 to uninstall everything my PlayStation five and only have Call 360 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:02.839 of Duty on there. 361 00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:06.200 So an Activision Blizzard is like, yes, yes, that is 362 00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:10.480 exactly only Call of Duty. That's why we're having all 363 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:14.400 of our studios now working on Call of Duty. 364 00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:20.039 Lisa needs braces. All I have going in my that's 365 00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:28.079 what you're saying, Lisa needs braces that shame. 366 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:32.039 I'm kind of like, I still want to go and 367 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:33.640 play it. I think I'll probably check out at the 368 00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:35.279 end of the year when there's less stuff to do. 369 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:41.400 I mean, you've heard decent things about the campaign. 370 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:43.440 That's the thing that's only to check out. I'm very 371 00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:44.240 curious about it. 372 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:46.359 If it's that's the only thing I care about in 373 00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:49.200 this one, because I'm The thing is is that I've 374 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:53.160 every time I've played Bollzone, I've had a good time 375 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:55.519 because I've been playing with my friends. But then ultimately 376 00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:57.440 I'm bad at it. So I have a bad time 377 00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:02.799 and it doesn't it doesn't give me the encouragement I 378 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:06.480 guess to keep persevering, and so I just fall off 379 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:08.799 and I'm like, oh, no, guys, can we go back 380 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:11.359 to Overwatch? But then Overwatch hasn't had any meaningful content 381 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.680 updates in over a year, so I guess I just 382 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:15.839 need any multiple. 383 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:16.680 Get that Overwatch too? 384 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.599 In three No, I got. 385 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:25.279 We haven't played Overwatch in so long. It feels really weird. 386 00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:29.720 It feels so so weird. Yeah, like we did. We 387 00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:32.480 did a bunch of Back for Blood, which was fun, 388 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:36.000 but again, like Back for Blood is another one where 389 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:38.480 I just feel like people have just dropped off. 390 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:42.839 It's like not a game. I feel like Overwatch too. 391 00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:43.480 Yeah. 392 00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:46.240 I googled Overwatch too, and you know Google has that 393 00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:49.640 people also ask and it gives you like questions. Yeah, 394 00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:54.359 the top one is is overwatched too ever coming out? 395 00:20:54.640 --> 00:21:00.000 I mean, it isn't that long sinthing an outside game. 396 00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:07.039 They're using it in Overwatch League early next year. Like yeah, 397 00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:10.519 so that's so they're basically going to be having it 398 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:12.720 in the pros will be using it for like a 399 00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:14.279 year before. 400 00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:17.400 Anyone else does them. 401 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:20.519
