Episode 167: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III - Honoring Monkeyzada

[00:00:07] I'll definitely be bringing this in. And Keith, do you have any questions before we get started?

[00:00:11] It's nothing changed since last time.

[00:00:14] No, no. I was just looking at the M.I. the asshole sheet right now.

[00:00:18] Oh, we're getting excited, huh? Speaking of getting excited, Nave, did you ever fix your toilet?

[00:00:23] Nope.

[00:00:25] You still going to the 7-Eleven?

[00:00:27] What's horrible is I just had like a two-party, two days party, like a really long party, a lot of people over,

[00:00:34] and then everyone just had to go outside and piss by their cars.

[00:00:39] It's terrible.

[00:00:39] By their cars? You go to someone else's car?

[00:00:42] Or in whoever's car. I would piss by my car, that's where I feel the safest, you know?

[00:00:45] True. And then you're marking your territory so those little vandals don't break your windows anymore?

[00:00:49] Yeah. That'll stop them.

[00:00:52] They're like, oh man, I just stepped in old man pee?

[00:00:55] They're like, what is that? Let's get out of here. This is a trap. Something's wrong.

[00:01:01] Oh, God.

[00:01:04] So stupid.

[00:01:05] Man, it makes me so mad when I'm walking my dog and she takes a dump and then she always kicks, you know, to like, I don't know, spread the scent or something.

[00:01:13] But sometimes she'll get the perfect like hockey slice into her own turd and just launch that thing across like three blocks.

[00:01:21] You know, I'm not. I don't know where it went at this point. It's just gone.

[00:01:25] That's how catapults were invented.

[00:01:27] A bunch of Romans watching their dogs kicking their turds around.

[00:01:31] All right. But anyways, let's get started.

[00:01:33] Serious mode.

[00:01:34] Hello and welcome to Gaming Together, a cooperative podcast.

[00:01:36] I'm your host, Philip, and I'm here with my co-partner, Nave.

[00:01:39] Each pod we play through a cooperative experience and relay to you, the listener,

[00:01:41] if this game is a criminal or a criminal or cop or something better off playing solo.

[00:01:45] Hey, Nave, what's popping?

[00:01:46] I'm hung over. I don't feel good.

[00:01:48] Feels like a good old fashioned back in the day episode of the Gaming Together.

[00:01:52] I know.

[00:01:53] Jan was like, you guys still doing the pod today?

[00:01:54] And I'm like, well, Nave was on Jackbox last night.

[00:01:57] And then I saw him get online at like 8 a.m. this morning, I think.

[00:02:01] So yeah, still awake.

[00:02:03] Yeah, still awake.

[00:02:04] I'm like, maybe he just woke up early before work.

[00:02:07] And he's like, no, I bet he's still awake from gaming with the boys.

[00:02:10] But Nave, we have a guest. Let's bring him in.

[00:02:12] A returning guest, Keith from Game Pass Groundbag.

[00:02:16] Welcome to the pod, Keith.

[00:02:18] Hello. Thanks for having me back, guys.

[00:02:21] Now, last time we had you on, you reminded me it was Exo Primal, the dinosaur shooting Capcom game.

[00:02:28] AI dinosaurs. Yeah.

[00:02:30] Yeah. Dinosaurs, AI.

[00:02:31] Yeah. So it's good to have you back.

[00:02:33] And I'm glad we can finally talk about Modern Warfare 3,

[00:02:36] a game that we have been yearning for coming off of the dinosaur game.

[00:02:42] We really were working towards it.

[00:02:44] Yeah, we were working towards it.

[00:02:45] We knew we needed to knock Exo Primal out before we could conquer the behemoth of Modern Warfare 3.

[00:02:51] Can you go two for two?

[00:02:52] You killed Exo Primal.

[00:02:54] So they, you know, they stepped up there.

[00:02:56] I mean, no, I don't think anything can kill Modern Warfare at this point.

[00:03:00] No, it can't even kill itself.

[00:03:02] And they are trying.

[00:03:03] Dude, it's the level of degeneracy that I've seen in this game with Nicki Minaj and Snoop Dogg and Cheech and Chong running around just doing the duggie on each other.

[00:03:13] Rey Mysterio.

[00:03:14] Yeah.

[00:03:15] We're going to be talking about Modern Warfare 3, the sequel of the sequel trilogy.

[00:03:20] But before we get there, Keith, how about you tell us about Game Pass Grandbag?

[00:03:26] So Game Pass Grandbag, we are a weekly podcast.

[00:03:29] We cover games off the Game Pass collection, as you can imagine.

[00:03:33] Yeah.

[00:03:34] We have been having a bunch of guests recently.

[00:03:38] Nave, in particular, just recently joined us.

[00:03:40] But we typically have Andrew, who is present on Exo Primal, myself and his wife, Liz.

[00:03:47] We are kind of looking at it from three perspectives.

[00:03:50] Andrew is the hardcore gamer.

[00:03:51] He's in on the news.

[00:03:52] He pretty much is the best of all three of us when it comes to it.

[00:03:56] I've been doing this my whole life, but I still suck.

[00:03:58] I have no idea what's going on.

[00:03:59] I just play what's in front of me.

[00:04:00] And then we dragged Liz into it and she still considered herself a noob, which is incredible

[00:04:05] after five years.

[00:04:08] But I think it's a passion for the podcast versus the games.

[00:04:13] And I respect that.

[00:04:14] So yeah, that's what we bring to the table.

[00:04:17] You know, I was rolling through your list and just to see, you know, like all your episodes.

[00:04:21] It looks like you guys mostly cover good games.

[00:04:24] But then I see that you hit Dungeons 4, like way back at the beginning of the year.

[00:04:30] I mean, but you guys got some pretty good taste.

[00:04:33] This is definitely not a one hour, one decision with their random choices.

[00:04:37] Do you guys choose the game or does like, you know, Andrew usually pick them?

[00:04:41] We we were on actual on rotation for a while, but then we kind of just dropped that whole thing.

[00:04:46] We try to do some fan record listener recommendations.

[00:04:49] We have a list of probably like 12 right now that we haven't gotten to.

[00:04:53] So sorry to everyone who's asked.

[00:04:56] But yeah, we have we pretty much just a little bit of what we feel like playing for is what we're kind of at right now.

[00:05:02] So that's where Kunitsukami came in.

[00:05:04] We're doing like a dragon coming up.

[00:05:06] So a lot of games that were just like, we want to play these games.

[00:05:09] They look fun and makes it easier to do.

[00:05:11] But we've we've done some turds soccer story in particular.

[00:05:17] I Andrew hated that.

[00:05:19] And it was it was great because I picked it and he was miserable that week.

[00:05:22] So, you know, it's so funny picking a game that, you know, the other guy is going to hate.

[00:05:26] It's just like the it makes it OK for you to play.

[00:05:30] Yeah, I to this day have not beaten the game because it glitched out at the very final mission.

[00:05:35] And so I have 100 unearned achievement score that just drives me nuts.

[00:05:39] But I will not play five and a half hours more of that game to get back to it.

[00:05:42] So goodbye forever on that gamer score.

[00:05:45] Goodbye soccer story.

[00:05:46] Philip Phillips have been doing that for a little while, but I've are I've since lost integrity.

[00:05:51] And so now I just refuse to play the game.

[00:05:53] I said I hate it.

[00:05:56] He's like, I want to do that.

[00:05:57] Yeah.

[00:05:57] Oh, well, we really should.

[00:05:59] It could be a great discussion.

[00:06:01] What game was it that broke me?

[00:06:03] It wasn't Wolfenstein Youngblood, was it?

[00:06:06] No.

[00:06:06] Well, I mean, you really hated Wolfenstein Youngblood.

[00:06:08] Yeah, that one was that was one of the main offenders.

[00:06:12] Philip had to drag my corpse over the finish line for that.

[00:06:15] I was literally just there like I was not playing.

[00:06:18] I was just watching him beat the boss by himself.

[00:06:21] Yeah, that one was real bad.

[00:06:23] I don't know.

[00:06:24] I'm looking back on it.

[00:06:25] It's just every time I recommend a game, you're always like, you know, I'm like, look,

[00:06:28] Nate, we got review copies of Deceit two.

[00:06:30] And you're like, you know, what is it?

[00:06:33] I'm like, oh, Nate, they put the new Hot Wheels Unleashed two on Game Pass.

[00:06:37] And you're like, gross.

[00:06:38] Do you hear the games?

[00:06:41] I mean, there's variety.

[00:06:43] You'll give them that modern warfare.

[00:06:44] You can't see why I said you to this one.

[00:06:47] Oh, God.

[00:06:49] Or NBA 2K 2024.

[00:06:50] I'm like, Nate, we're going to play 2K.

[00:06:52] And you're like, why?

[00:06:56] So far, we're not a we're not that kind of podcast, but we are.

[00:07:00] And dear listener, we are a cooperative game podcast.

[00:07:02] But let's just talk about games.

[00:07:04] We've been playing solo.

[00:07:05] So this week, Nate, what have you been playing solo?

[00:07:08] I played a lot.

[00:07:09] I beat five games this week or like last.

[00:07:12] Oh, my God.

[00:07:13] I kept seeing your updates with your little tear sheet or whatever.

[00:07:15] And I'm like, I can chill, dude.

[00:07:17] What are you playing?

[00:07:17] Trash any games?

[00:07:19] I am just picking up like the hanging hanging fruit that you were going to grab later.

[00:07:24] Yeah.

[00:07:24] Well, it was mostly because I, you know, I beat Diablo.

[00:07:27] I mean, that was in the episode, but it's like I beat Diablo.

[00:07:30] I beat Kunitsugami because I was on game pass grab.

[00:07:32] Plus, I just liked that game.

[00:07:33] So yeah, it was like 10 hours long.

[00:07:35] But then I had because Diablo, I was like right at the end.

[00:07:39] I was at the beginning of the last act.

[00:07:41] And then there was another game.

[00:07:43] I can't remember.

[00:07:44] I didn't write it down, but it's a game.

[00:07:46] I've been talking about a whole lot.

[00:07:47] It's another one is like Lost Judgment.

[00:07:49] I'm still playing that in the background.

[00:07:51] I'm always constantly in the background playing Lost Judgment, doing a look in a little bit

[00:07:55] of shit done in that.

[00:07:57] But I beat TimeSplitters.

[00:07:59] Yeah.

[00:08:00] Wow.

[00:08:00] Which how hard was that?

[00:08:02] Not that hard.

[00:08:03] Okay.

[00:08:03] I didn't know if that has like the old game.

[00:08:06] Oh, no, it is old.

[00:08:08] Yeah, it is very old.

[00:08:09] If you hit a checkpoint, you have low health.

[00:08:11] I was playing it in co-op with Rachel.

[00:08:13] We were doing couch co-op.

[00:08:14] And there is this one part towards the end of the game where we both had very low health

[00:08:18] and we were about to fight this huge fight.

[00:08:21] And Rachel would run in and die instantly.

[00:08:23] Or like I would run in and like gun her down because she's like a robot and we're fighting

[00:08:28] robots.

[00:08:29] So it's like, it's like, it's like Halo where your partner is like a fucking alien.

[00:08:33] Yeah.

[00:08:33] Those stupid elites.

[00:08:35] Yeah.

[00:08:35] Yeah.

[00:08:36] Well, I mean, but it was really, really fucking good.

[00:08:38] And I, I've never beaten that game before.

[00:08:41] I always get about halfway through the game and I just stop and I just replay the beginning

[00:08:44] where it's like really super funny.

[00:08:46] Um, but the game is so charming.

[00:08:48] I threw it up in a tier and I, I want to do it for an episode now.

[00:08:53] And I was trying to, I was trying to do it soon, but I was like, okay, wait, I think

[00:08:58] I might want Philip on this one.

[00:08:59] So I'm, I don't know what I'm going to play next week.

[00:09:02] Cause I was, I was planning on pushing time splitters.

[00:09:04] Also, it's hard to find someone for time splitters for some reason.

[00:09:08] Really difficult.

[00:09:09] I don't know how many people have just not heard of this game or what, but we need to

[00:09:13] spread the gospel splitters fan.

[00:09:14] I remember playing it back on probably PlayStation, I guess.

[00:09:19] Maybe it wasn't on PlayStation 2 PS2.

[00:09:22] Yeah.

[00:09:23] Okay.

[00:09:23] So yeah, I remember playing the time splitter series and I remember loving them.

[00:09:26] And every time I look at, cause they're both now on Xbox, right?

[00:09:29] Yeah.

[00:09:30] Cause I look at them all the time and I've, I just never pull the trigger on them.

[00:09:34] Cause I have a feeling that I'm just going to sink back into a nostalgia and go, oh, this

[00:09:37] is just isn't what I wanted it to be.

[00:09:40] And so I, I try not to open those can of worms and disappoint myself.

[00:09:45] This game is how you remember it.

[00:09:47] It's fucking amazing.

[00:09:49] Like I've fucking never met your heroes.

[00:09:50] This is exactly what you imagine.

[00:09:52] Yeah.

[00:09:53] Like the game where you play multiplayer and you're everyone's running around as monkeys

[00:09:56] with guns.

[00:09:57] It's like it, or like a cactus man.

[00:09:59] And I'm like, oh yeah, this is exactly what I want.

[00:10:01] This is the original Fortnite.

[00:10:03] Well, so if I recall, right?

[00:10:05] The, the like bots in the multiplayer could level up and all that.

[00:10:10] Right.

[00:10:10] Or is that time splitters too?

[00:10:11] Or am I making the whole thing up?

[00:10:13] That might be too.

[00:10:14] I haven't played too.

[00:10:15] I've never played too.

[00:10:16] So it's like, I thought I'd played too, but everything I remember about time splitters

[00:10:20] is in this game.

[00:10:21] So I'm like, oh, well I made, I made that up in my brain.

[00:10:26] Hmm.

[00:10:26] Hmm.

[00:10:27] Maybe.

[00:10:28] Maybe.

[00:10:28] So I've got to go through that.

[00:10:29] I've got to get that.

[00:10:30] I've probably made that up somewhere.

[00:10:33] Anyway.

[00:10:34] Next game.

[00:10:35] The Expanse.

[00:10:36] Yeah.

[00:10:37] Telltale's the Expanse.

[00:10:38] Uh, fucking, uh, not Nick, Nate from the elder trolls fucking loves.

[00:10:44] And I think Jono also, these guys love the Expanse, like the TV show.

[00:10:48] I played this.

[00:10:49] I didn't know what the relationship was to the TV show.

[00:10:52] Cause you know, the walking dead like play is the telltale games alongside the show

[00:10:57] in the comic books, but it's not in.

[00:10:59] So like there's some cross pollination with characters, some characters from the show show

[00:11:03] up, but it's like its own story.

[00:11:04] This game is its own story too.

[00:11:06] It's, but it's a prequel.

[00:11:08] And yeah.

[00:11:10] Uh, I kind of hated it.

[00:11:12] So the Bayou talk.

[00:11:15] I, I was, I got used to it.

[00:11:16] I'm gonna be honest.

[00:11:17] I was bitching about the main character's voice for a while.

[00:11:19] I got used to it.

[00:11:20] Just like Jono said, I would, I just, I just tuned it out.

[00:11:23] Eventually I started to understand her a little bit.

[00:11:24] Um, the whole thing I didn't like was the whole story is like, it's, it's like a fucking,

[00:11:31] it's like a love story kind of thing.

[00:11:33] And like, I'm, I like love stories.

[00:11:35] I'm, I'm a, I'm a sappy individual, but this love story wasn't very good.

[00:11:40] And what really burned me out was that there in episodes three and four, which is like

[00:11:46] right where I stopped last week, I stopped before episode three.

[00:11:50] There is this really awesome arc where you find this fucking dark, derelict space station,

[00:11:55] dead space style.

[00:11:56] There are people who are dead.

[00:11:58] There's no gravity in there, but there are people who pose themselves before they died.

[00:12:01] Like the first of corpse you see is doing this fucking Illuminati symbol, like with their

[00:12:05] hands.

[00:12:06] And they're just in the middle of the floating in the middle of the hallway.

[00:12:08] And I'm like, Whoa, this is what this I'm like, this is great.

[00:12:13] And like I, the whole, this, like, I'm like, this is where the shows that this is where it's

[00:12:17] going.

[00:12:17] It's great.

[00:12:18] I'm, it doesn't matter.

[00:12:19] The first two episodes were fucking slow and didn't give any information on anything.

[00:12:22] And then they're like, Oh, this is crazy.

[00:12:24] Right.

[00:12:25] And then that's it.

[00:12:26] And then just goes back to the love story.

[00:12:28] No, what?

[00:12:29] Go back to the, what happened there?

[00:12:32] Like what happened with those guys?

[00:12:34] And they're just like, I don't know.

[00:12:36] I guess you just never find figure some things out.

[00:12:38] Uh, anyway, you know what I mean?

[00:12:41] Yeah.

[00:12:41] Back to business.

[00:12:43] I hated it.

[00:12:44] I hated where the story was and it made me even angrier because of that, like nugget of

[00:12:49] like gold that they had.

[00:12:50] And then they just tossed it back into the fucking river.

[00:12:52] Cause they didn't know what they had, but I don't know.

[00:12:55] The apparently it's all about like space Mormons and stuff.

[00:12:58] Like we were talking about that last week, uh, with Nate.

[00:13:01] I don't know anything about the expanse.

[00:13:02] So the game is not too great, but I bet if you watch the show, you probably like this

[00:13:08] game.

[00:13:08] Cause there's, I think all the characters are in the show or whatever.

[00:13:12] It's weird.

[00:13:12] Cause people can die.

[00:13:14] It's like, you know, mass effect.

[00:13:16] Like where like you can lose people at some points.

[00:13:18] And so it's like, I don't know how that affects the, I don't know.

[00:13:22] There's obviously a cannon ending, but yeah.

[00:13:26] Uh, as a game, I'm probably never going to play good work.

[00:13:29] Yeah.

[00:13:29] Good coverage.

[00:13:31] No point.

[00:13:32] Yeah.

[00:13:34] All right.

[00:13:34] Anything else you play this week?

[00:13:37] Uh, no, not really.

[00:13:38] I mean, I can't remember.

[00:13:40] I only put those two cause I didn't want to talk for an hour.

[00:13:42] Yeah.

[00:13:43] Uh, for my games I've been playing, uh, I finished death store, which right up at the top.

[00:13:48] It is now my top tier, like game of the year.

[00:13:51] Top of S tier.

[00:13:53] This game is incredible.

[00:13:55] Maybe you need to go finish it.

[00:13:56] Like I do.

[00:13:57] Do you remember what boss you were on at the end?

[00:13:59] Uh, I beat the frog.

[00:14:01] I beat the, I must've been on like the third or fourth one.

[00:14:04] Like I, I made it pretty far.

[00:14:06] Yeah.

[00:14:07] Like if you beat the frog, then I think the next one is the mountain where you go to fight

[00:14:11] a Yeti.

[00:14:12] Maybe.

[00:14:13] Uh, that's where I was.

[00:14:14] Yeah.

[00:14:14] I was, I was doing the mountain stuff.

[00:14:15] Okay.

[00:14:16] Yeah.

[00:14:16] So you were, you were three boss battles away from the end of the game.

[00:14:21] Yeah.

[00:14:22] The other bosses don't have like full dungeons.

[00:14:26] So, so it's like you were at, you're at the end.

[00:14:29] You probably had like an hour and a half of gameplay left.

[00:14:31] The problem whenever I went back, I only went back once.

[00:14:34] I should go back then anyway, it's still download.

[00:14:36] It's always been downloaded, but it's like, I went back and I was like, Oh no, I'm not

[00:14:40] good at this game anymore.

[00:14:41] Like I was dying and over and over it.

[00:14:43] I was like, Oh God.

[00:14:43] Okay.

[00:14:44] Maybe I'll wait till I have more time, which I do.

[00:14:47] I have plenty of time now.

[00:14:48] Yeah.

[00:14:49] Uh, which I, as far as difficulty goes, I think the only hard bosses in the game are the Yeti

[00:14:55] and then the final, final boss.

[00:14:57] Like when you find them, those are the only ones that actually put up a fight.

[00:14:59] Every other boss is like cake.

[00:15:02] Like Keith, have you tried?

[00:15:03] Have you played it?

[00:15:04] We have, I'm trying to think it was probably a year ago.

[00:15:08] I think if I recall.

[00:15:09] So I'm like, I absolutely remember, but I was trying to look at my achievements and see how far

[00:15:14] I got, I only have like nine achievements.

[00:15:17] So I can't imagine I got more than half.

[00:15:19] Well, maybe not that many achievements.

[00:15:22] Yeah.

[00:15:23] So I don't know.

[00:15:23] It might be a lot.

[00:15:24] It might be a lot of collecting stuff that I don't have in particular, but I, I don't

[00:15:28] remember loving it.

[00:15:29] I know for a fact that Andrew did.

[00:15:31] And I think I was just, I think I struggled with the combat.

[00:15:35] Honestly, is, is I think what I remember being my biggest complaint is that I just, I couldn't.

[00:15:41] I think I just ran into a lot of struggle bus.

[00:15:44] If I recall.

[00:15:45] The thing is like, this is like, I almost feel like this is like the easiest dark souls at this point.

[00:15:50] Is if we're going to do that.

[00:15:51] It was just like souls, like dark souls or whatever.

[00:15:53] Like this is literally like baby's first dark souls.

[00:15:57] If you want to like bullet down.

[00:15:58] I mean, that could, that could answer for me.

[00:16:00] I'm pretty much in.

[00:16:02] I, I still was like, is the death of me.

[00:16:04] Oh yeah.

[00:16:04] You're not in, but it's so short because the whole game is like, I don't know, maybe

[00:16:09] like nine or 10 hours.

[00:16:10] If that, uh, depending on how, if you get good, but it's like, it's so simple.

[00:16:15] You don't have to worry about stats or anything or switching gear.

[00:16:18] There are like different weapons and stuff, but it is like the boiled down dark souls.

[00:16:22] One experience exploring this forgotten world.

[00:16:25] Everybody's sad.

[00:16:26] It's great.

[00:16:28] Uh, I was super recommend this game.

[00:16:30] This could be my game of the year, like by the end of it.

[00:16:32] Cause I thought it was going to be Resident Evil two, but this one, it's just so good.

[00:16:37] Also, I played in Japanese and it was my 11th Japanese game this year.

[00:16:42] I'm trying to get 12.

[00:16:43] So I got one more.

[00:16:44] Uh, I think I'm going to wrap up Octopath Traveler soon ish.

[00:16:48] Cause I'm at like 50 hours in that game, but, uh, we'll see.

[00:16:52] Uh, Japanese is not that difficult.

[00:16:55] So whenever you got to the frog boss, did it show at all in kanji?

[00:16:59] Like, you know, at the beginning.

[00:17:00] Yeah, it does.

[00:17:01] Is that in the normal game?

[00:17:03] No, it shows up in English.

[00:17:05] So it is just like words, words, words, words, words, words, words, words, words.

[00:17:08] It just keeps going.

[00:17:10] So there's a lot of these like, uh, like, okay.

[00:17:13] Slight spoilers.

[00:17:14] At one point you meet, uh, like the, the grim reaper because you're the crows, you're

[00:17:19] reapers, you know, you get the souls, you meet death and it just pops up Shinigami in

[00:17:25] kanji on the screen.

[00:17:26] And I'm like, I know that one.

[00:17:27] I got that one down.

[00:17:31] Yeah.

[00:17:31] That one, uh, death note.

[00:17:32] Yep.

[00:17:33] It's right there.

[00:17:33] Like this is, this is one of them.

[00:17:36] And, uh, it's pretty interesting.

[00:17:38] Like which kanji they actually choose to represent like the different characters, like, um, the,

[00:17:43] the king of doors or whatever.

[00:17:44] It's not just like the king of doors.

[00:17:47] It's like the, the king of specifically the, the main door, the front door, because that's

[00:17:54] a different kanji than door is front door.

[00:17:58] I don't know if they like fun linguistic bullshit was once again, read it and said in

[00:18:02] our podcast.

[00:18:03] I mean, if you say front door, I understand what you mean.

[00:18:08] So we have a different terminology for it as well.

[00:18:11] Yeah.

[00:18:11] But it's, it's when I, okay, whatever it is, it's the king of doors.

[00:18:16] It's a whole thing.

[00:18:18] Uh, great game.

[00:18:19] Super recommended.

[00:18:21] Another game.

[00:18:21] I want to recommend that I finished this week, little gator game, which I, what's up?

[00:18:26] I've been watching you play it.

[00:18:28] It's like, what the fuck is this?

[00:18:30] I put this one high eight here, almost top of eight here.

[00:18:34] The only thing being it is resident evil three, but I think this is even better than frog

[00:18:39] detective or bloodstained and Callisto protocol.

[00:18:42] Dude, the frog detective had the man.

[00:18:45] Whenever you played that game, I know like whenever, so in frog detective, you do the

[00:18:49] whole thing, the mailman thing.

[00:18:51] I know as soon as you saw that you're like, Oh my God, I can't wait to talk about this

[00:18:55] on the podcast.

[00:18:56] I'm so hyped with the mailman.

[00:18:57] Have you played it now?

[00:18:58] No, I, I've been thinking about it.

[00:19:00] I have talked about it at work though.

[00:19:02] I definitely told people about that game.

[00:19:04] So damn clever.

[00:19:05] It's a short game, isn't it?

[00:19:08] Yeah.

[00:19:08] Get a frog detective.

[00:19:10] You can probably do three hours or less.

[00:19:12] Okay.

[00:19:12] Depending on how fast you can read, how fast you can detect.

[00:19:15] Yeah.

[00:19:16] And how fast your detective skills are.

[00:19:17] Even though this game is not about being a detective.

[00:19:20] It's mostly about just talking to people and it's an adventure game where it's like,

[00:19:24] well, I really wish I had some earmuffs to keep my coconuts warm because my coconuts

[00:19:28] are getting really cold.

[00:19:29] And you're like, huh?

[00:19:30] I know a sheep who recently got sheared and has a lot of wool.

[00:19:33] I wonder if I can make earmuffs out of that.

[00:19:35] Then you go back and talk to the sheep and you're like, can I have your hair?

[00:19:38] And he's like, that's really gross.

[00:19:39] Why would you want my hair?

[00:19:41] And he's like, I could give up my hair for $3.

[00:19:44] And I'm like, Oh, I just need to make $3 now.

[00:19:47] And then you have, it's just stupid bullshit like that.

[00:19:49] So you're not really detecting things.

[00:19:51] It's like Freddie fish.

[00:19:52] Yeah.

[00:19:53] It's like Freddie fish.

[00:19:54] It's an adventure game.

[00:19:55] Okay.

[00:19:56] Yeah.

[00:20:00] Little Gator game is also an adventure game.

[00:20:03] It's all about solving quest in, in a big make believe fantasy game where you're just

[00:20:08] a bunch of animals and you pretend to be a great hero.

[00:20:12] You print like you pretend to be link from legend of Zelda.

[00:20:15] I was gonna say it kind of looks like a wind waker a little bit.

[00:20:17] Yeah.

[00:20:17] Have you played tunic?

[00:20:18] I have not finished it, but that game was hard.

[00:20:22] Yeah.

[00:20:22] I'm on like a wizard tower in a tower and he's beating my ass every time I try and

[00:20:28] like, I'll come back in another month.

[00:20:29] I think the last maybe quarter to it, maybe a little less than that.

[00:20:34] I think I just did a walkthrough.

[00:20:35] I was like, I did.

[00:20:36] I am just so freaking lost.

[00:20:38] Oh yeah.

[00:20:39] But man, I, that was a great game.

[00:20:41] That one's definitely plan on going back a little Gator game.

[00:20:45] It's very just chill and cozy for like the first, you know, I don't even know how long

[00:20:51] I played this game, like four hours or so.

[00:20:52] And then like the last, last like 30 minutes of the game, it just hits you right in the

[00:20:58] heart with feelings.

[00:20:59] And it's like, Hey, you thought this was just a dumb little kiddie game about, you know,

[00:21:04] playing legend of Zelda on an island surprise.

[00:21:07] It's actually about growing up and dealing with grownup things and putting childish things

[00:21:12] away and what it means to, you know, say goodbye to your childhood and taking care of your,

[00:21:18] but I was playing this video game to escape all of this.

[00:21:22] Yeah, I know.

[00:21:22] Like, and at the end, like I, I cried, I cried at the end of this because it's, it's about

[00:21:28] you play as little Gator.

[00:21:29] You get to choose your own name.

[00:21:31] So mine was like mega death or groundhog or something.

[00:21:33] Then everyone calls you that for the rest of the game.

[00:21:36] And it's all about, Hey, my sister's too busy doing college homework that she can't

[00:21:41] play with us right now.

[00:21:42] So I'm going to make the biggest, most bad-ass game with every kid on the island.

[00:21:47] And when she sees how wild we're getting, she's going to have to come play with us.

[00:21:51] That's it.

[00:21:52] You know, she's going to put away the grownup.

[00:21:53] She didn't come play.

[00:21:54] And then you go through, you know, hours of effort of building like a massive, basically

[00:22:00] like castle with all these characters and everything and all your side quests.

[00:22:04] It's like Tony Hawk's American wasteland.

[00:22:06] Yeah.

[00:22:06] You build up like your own skate park at one point because you skate on your shield and

[00:22:12] stuff.

[00:22:12] Anyways.

[00:22:13] So you go through all this effort and you get to the end and you're like, Hey, I need

[00:22:18] to go get my sister.

[00:22:18] And then they're like, Hey, is your sister like busy?

[00:22:21] And he's like, I know, but she needs to play with us.

[00:22:24] And he's like, why does she need to play with us?

[00:22:26] And he's like, she needs to play with us because it's not fun without her.

[00:22:29] I want her to play with me.

[00:22:30] And they're like, that's kind of ridiculous.

[00:22:31] Cause you know, we've been having fun all day together, doing this together.

[00:22:34] So do you really need her?

[00:22:36] And he's like, Oh fuck.

[00:22:37] Do I need her?

[00:22:39] And then you literally have like a silent hill flashback of your whole childhood leading

[00:22:45] up to this point where all the stuff you did running around only it's your sister setting

[00:22:51] up everything for you of like, she's like, Oh, you know, mega groundhog death Lord, you

[00:22:56] got to save the princess.

[00:22:57] And she like put up like cardboard stuff that you go and you whack and you're, you're

[00:23:01] like a baby alligator in these scenes too.

[00:23:03] And I'm like, Oh fuck.

[00:23:05] She was always there for me.

[00:23:06] Like it was a whole part.

[00:23:09] She taught me how to do this on my own.

[00:23:11] Yeah.

[00:23:11] And then it's like, so like she taught me how to play or whatever.

[00:23:14] And finally, like, like, I doubt you guys are ever going to play this game, right?

[00:23:17] You care about spoilers?

[00:23:18] I don't care about spoilers in general.

[00:23:21] I probably will still play it.

[00:23:23] Yeah.

[00:23:24] Oh God.

[00:23:24] It's like, you go back to her and instead of being like, Hey, I did all this bullshit.

[00:23:28] So, you know, you can play with us.

[00:23:30] You come back to her and you say like, thank you for everything you did to me growing up.

[00:23:34] Like it meant a lot to me.

[00:23:36] Oh God.

[00:23:36] I was really hoping that you would say she's been dead for three years.

[00:23:44] And he's like, it's okay.

[00:23:46] Oh God.

[00:23:46] He's like, it's okay that you're doing your stuff, you know, go ahead.

[00:23:48] And also she's a game developer.

[00:23:50] Like she's working on developing a game.

[00:23:52] I got this one or whatever.

[00:23:53] He's like, Hey, do what you gotta do.

[00:23:55] I'm going to go play.

[00:23:56] See you later, sis.

[00:23:57] And then you go into the sister's point of view and you see a flashback of her playing

[00:24:03] with like her little brother, you, your character, and then growing up struggling hard

[00:24:08] to get accepted into college.

[00:24:10] All her classmates are fucking lazy dick bags.

[00:24:12] And she gets put on a project with him where she has to do basically all the work.

[00:24:16] She's trying really hard.

[00:24:17] She has to move away from home.

[00:24:19] And then she comes back just for a little bit.

[00:24:21] And she's like sitting in the park working on her, her project.

[00:24:24] This is just a game developers diary.

[00:24:27] Yeah.

[00:24:27] That's what it turns into.

[00:24:28] That's what it feels like.

[00:24:29] I'm like, man, this is like really personal.

[00:24:32] And then the end, and she's like, Oh, I got it.

[00:24:34] I got to do what matters.

[00:24:35] And she like closes the laptop and goes to play.

[00:24:38] And I'm like, Oh fuck.

[00:24:39] And tears are like streaming down my eyes as my kids are like, Dad, why are you crying

[00:24:43] at this gator game?

[00:24:46] Crying because that sister just lost her job.

[00:24:48] Cause she stopped working.

[00:24:49] Yeah.

[00:24:50] Bothering her.

[00:24:51] So stop bothering me.

[00:24:52] No, they end up, she gets a job as like a fortune teller in the town.

[00:24:57] And so she still works on her little laptop while giving out fortunes or something.

[00:25:01] And you can go and visit her and the game keeps going.

[00:25:03] You keep playing if you want to.

[00:25:04] She's doing like Nord VPN, like looking shit.

[00:25:08] Yeah.

[00:25:09] Just Google shit.

[00:25:10] Be like, Hey, I mean, I need my fortune read it.

[00:25:13] God, it got me so deep.

[00:25:15] Like this game hit me in the heart.

[00:25:16] That's why I got so high, I guess.

[00:25:18] And that's what I'm looking for in games is I'm looking to feel something.

[00:25:22] Like, I don't know about you guys, but every time I play a game, I want to feel something.

[00:25:26] And we'll, we'll talk about modern warfare where I felt nothing through the whole game,

[00:25:32] but this game is perfect.

[00:25:33] Cause that's what I want to feel is nothing.

[00:25:35] Oh dude.

[00:25:37] Like I was drier than the Sahara the whole time playing.

[00:25:40] Goddamn.

[00:25:41] You didn't cry whenever, uh, uh, who died?

[00:25:45] Someone died.

[00:25:46] It wasn't ghost.

[00:25:47] It wasn't ghost.

[00:25:48] Ghost is too popular now.

[00:25:51] But anyways, this game was great.

[00:25:53] Made me cry.

[00:25:54] Uh, I was telling Jana about it while she's shopping at target and I'm just walking behind

[00:25:58] her, telling her about Gator game, starting to cry again.

[00:26:01] I'm like, Oh man, this is almost like, it was just like lightning returns.

[00:26:04] Like it just got me right in the heart.

[00:26:06] Dude.

[00:26:07] I want to find the fucking dude bro podcast where they're crying about the death scene

[00:26:11] at the end of this game.

[00:26:13] They're just like holding each other.

[00:26:16] Oh my God.

[00:26:18] Oh my God.

[00:26:20] So stupid.

[00:26:21] That's all the games I've been playing.

[00:26:23] Big recommend for Gator game and that store.

[00:26:26] Keith, tell us what you've been playing.

[00:26:29] So I, I've been sucked into, uh, well, I guess it's officially college football 25, but I'm

[00:26:36] going to forever call it NCAA.

[00:26:38] Um, so I, I, I've been on that for, I don't know, the last couple of weeks.

[00:26:43] So when I haven't been playing, I guess what I've been forced to for the podcast, uh, I've

[00:26:47] been doing a ton of that, but, um, otherwise I've been picking up like a dragon.

[00:26:52] I think I mentioned that we were going to be covering that coming up and I didn't realize

[00:26:56] how much fun I was going to have with it.

[00:26:58] So we had covered a Yakuza game.

[00:27:00] I don't even remember which one, I two, three years ago when they first started coming on

[00:27:05] to game pass.

[00:27:05] I, I remember, uh, it was all right.

[00:27:07] It's kind of weird kind of goofy game, but I, I just didn't get it.

[00:27:11] And like a dragon has every bit of my attention.

[00:27:14] I think in like this week alone, I have like 20 plus hours into it and man, I'm just,

[00:27:20] I'm just loving that.

[00:27:22] So yeah, you're broken now.

[00:27:24] Now, once you get one, you get them all.

[00:27:27] It's like, Oh no.

[00:27:28] Well, so the, the person we're actually going to be doing like a dragon with the, is it,

[00:27:32] he's a listener who won.

[00:27:33] I think either one of his first episodes, he listened to us or he first played a Yakuza

[00:27:37] game after we covered it.

[00:27:39] And then he just went like down the well.

[00:27:42] And I think he's played every single one of them now.

[00:27:45] And so we're like, well, we got to bring you on for this episode.

[00:27:48] It's my favorite franchise of all time.

[00:27:50] Yeah.

[00:27:51] I, I don't know if I could still get into all the other ones, but, and it's weird.

[00:27:55] Cause I don't even play a ton of turn-based games naturally.

[00:27:57] I just, I, I'm super like, give me a roguelike.

[00:28:00] Give me just something snappy and I can play, but I just, I keep playing for it.

[00:28:05] And normally I hate storylines.

[00:28:07] I hate cut scenes, but I'm sitting there and only at least skipping dialogue after I've read

[00:28:14] it.

[00:28:14] I'm at least reading it before I skip through if I'm not listening to them talking.

[00:28:17] So I like, I'm invested in this and I'm all about it.

[00:28:21] Are you playing it in Japanese or in English?

[00:28:23] I'm playing it in English.

[00:28:25] Okay.

[00:28:25] Yeah.

[00:28:26] So like, I think that's what a lot of people do when they start at like a dragon.

[00:28:29] Usually they play in English and then the people who play the other ones usually play

[00:28:32] like a dragon in Japanese.

[00:28:35] It's probably a little more forgiving since it's turn-based.

[00:28:37] I would imagine.

[00:28:37] Cause if you're trying to read subtitles, cause that I would have to read subtitles if I

[00:28:41] were doing Japanese.

[00:28:42] So yeah.

[00:28:43] Well, the good thing about Yakuza, like the other ones is in the fights.

[00:28:47] No one's talking.

[00:28:48] Everyone's very tight lips.

[00:28:50] And then if they do talk, usually it turns into a cut scene where they start anime talking

[00:28:54] in the middle of the fight and then they start fighting again.

[00:28:57] It's not like fucking the tails games where they're talking nonstop.

[00:29:01] Like they never stopped talking and you're just like, I can't.

[00:29:04] Like I assume they're all kind of like this, but it is, it's a fucking rollercoaster.

[00:29:08] Like one minute I'm like laughing hysterically.

[00:29:12] And then all of a sudden that I don't know if someone's dead or just something.

[00:29:17] Oh God.

[00:29:18] That opening scene of the game with the abusive mother.

[00:29:21] I was like, geez, I was not expecting to walk into that.

[00:29:25] I had heard a lot of lighthearted, goofy stories.

[00:29:29] It's a trick.

[00:29:30] We've tricked you into feeling feelings.

[00:29:32] But man, yeah, it, it roped me in though.

[00:29:35] Immediately I was like, I, all right, I'm in.

[00:29:36] This is, this is messed up.

[00:29:38] I going to do this.

[00:29:40] Are you doing any of these sub stories?

[00:29:42] Are you just trying to just about all of them?

[00:29:44] And that's.

[00:29:45] Oh yeah.

[00:29:46] That'll slow you down so bad.

[00:29:48] I think that's how you got to play.

[00:29:50] Like 15 or so of them right now that I've done.

[00:29:53] I'm just, I, the only thing I haven't unlocked at least from like the, the start menu is

[00:29:57] the dragon cart.

[00:29:58] So I think I've just got everything locked.

[00:30:01] Dragon cart.

[00:30:01] So good.

[00:30:02] The, the good thing though, is that like not every Yakuza game is like that because

[00:30:06] there's so many, I mean, they're all like that, like all of them.

[00:30:09] But like the thing is that there are so many like repeats, like, and just so many like callbacks

[00:30:14] that you can eventually you'll start one, a sub story and be like, Oh, I know where

[00:30:17] this is probably going.

[00:30:18] And then you can just not do those.

[00:30:19] Like the, the obvious callback ones.

[00:30:22] And then just do like the newer ones.

[00:30:24] Or I think there are like lists of people, like people will go through and be like, if

[00:30:27] you're playing through the Yakuza games, you get the sub stories you can skip.

[00:30:30] Like the ones you don't need to do.

[00:30:31] So like when you're playing your first couple, the games will be very, very long.

[00:30:35] Like a dragon is like one of the longest ones also on top of that, just for being a

[00:30:39] JRPG.

[00:30:40] Both of the JRPGs are way longer than the normal games.

[00:30:43] But like, it'll shorten your time, like really, like slowly your game, the games will get

[00:30:49] shorter and shorter because you'll know what to do.

[00:30:52] You'll blast it through.

[00:30:53] Streamline a little bit.

[00:30:54] Yeah, I think I'm, I'm right about at my level cap of where I need to be.

[00:30:58] I'm struggling to get through the mission I'm on.

[00:31:01] So I'm like, I think I'm going to have to go run some more sub stories, level up a little

[00:31:04] bit more.

[00:31:05] I don't like struggling in games.

[00:31:07] So I'm all about like, I'm going to go over level any chance I can and then go back and

[00:31:12] just ease my way through the story.

[00:31:15] Yeah, I play Yakuza on easy.

[00:31:17] So always not the, I don't think the like a dragon games have a difficulty.

[00:31:21] Do they?

[00:31:23] Oh no, the new one definitely does.

[00:31:25] Cause there's a new game plus.

[00:31:26] And then you use, you get unlocked the higher difficulty.

[00:31:29] I don't know about those, but on the beat them ups, I always play on easy.

[00:31:32] Cause it's bullshit.

[00:31:34] There's their bullshit in playing a higher difficult.

[00:31:36] It's just like, what if we just gave them more health and made them do more damage?

[00:31:41] Yeah.

[00:31:42] That's it.

[00:31:43] What if though?

[00:31:44] Yeah.

[00:31:45] What if I'm like, does this make the game better?

[00:31:47] No, it doesn't.

[00:31:48] Like, does this improve your experience?

[00:31:51] In fact, it's a detriment.

[00:31:52] It makes me not enjoy it as much.

[00:31:55] I think I eventually swapped in zero.

[00:31:57] I lower the difficulty.

[00:31:58] I think.

[00:31:59] While I was playing it.

[00:32:00] Cause I started on like normal and I'm like, oh man, I always got to get healing items,

[00:32:04] go down to the, the Don Quixote in between every story mission.

[00:32:09] Yeah.

[00:32:10] Rachel started playing the first Yakuza and I told her to play it on easy.

[00:32:13] And she's like, like, looking at me, like, am I tricking you?

[00:32:16] Right.

[00:32:17] Am I going to make fun of you?

[00:32:18] I don't know.

[00:32:18] No, I'm not.

[00:32:20] I just want you to play it.

[00:32:21] Nice.

[00:32:22] You playing anything else?

[00:32:23] Or is that all you want to share?

[00:32:24] Uh, nothing, nothing substantial.

[00:32:26] Actually, I will say I did start playing that creatures of Ava game.

[00:32:30] I think, cause I think I probably about five hours into it.

[00:32:32] And surprisingly I've enjoyed it more than I thought I would like the art and animation

[00:32:36] sales really cool.

[00:32:38] Um, and it's, it's a nice cozy game, like a little creature capture game.

[00:32:42] So I would actually recommend checking that out.

[00:32:45] It's on my list too.

[00:32:47] No multiplayer.

[00:32:48] The first thing.

[00:32:49] Yeah.

[00:32:49] It is.

[00:32:49] It is a complete solo experience from what I can see, but they just added doom one

[00:32:54] and two to game pass the online co-op built into that one.

[00:32:59] Because I think we looked at the dooms that they had on there before.

[00:33:02] And for some reason they didn't have online co-op or something.

[00:33:05] Cause I think, oh man, we could totally do these.

[00:33:07] Weren't they like, uh, X one, 360 arcades.

[00:33:11] Is that what they were?

[00:33:12] That was the problem is they were like the single three 60 ones.

[00:33:14] And for some reason, like a lot of them didn't have online co-op, but they had couch co-op.

[00:33:20] Yeah.

[00:33:20] Well, these do also, you can plug in a keyboard and type in cheats.

[00:33:24] So that's cool.

[00:33:25] I'm going to fucking get all those achievements real easy.

[00:33:28] Like dirt bag.

[00:33:30] All right.

[00:33:30] That goes right into news or updates.

[00:33:32] Uh, only kind of thing that might be news is that I wouldn't saw the new Deadpool movie.

[00:33:36] You guys see that yet?

[00:33:37] Deadpool Wolverine wanting to heard nothing but good things about it, but I have not seen

[00:33:42] it yet.

[00:33:43] It's real good.

[00:33:44] Uh, do listeners at home recommend go watch it.

[00:33:47] Go watch it.

[00:33:47] Deadpool dies.

[00:33:49] Oh yeah.

[00:33:49] He dies a lot.

[00:33:50] It's made over a billion dollars.

[00:33:52] He gets back up though.

[00:33:54] All right.

[00:33:55] With that, let's go right into our Patreon section here at Gaming Together.

[00:33:57] We work hard to provide excellent call of content for you, the listener.

[00:34:00] If you have any means, please consider supporting us on Patreon.

[00:34:03] Uh, link in description.

[00:34:04] Here's our current supporters.

[00:34:06] Berserker this, Mr. Quang, Insane Cracker, Nick and Knight, and the Intergalactic Pinecone.

[00:34:09] Thank you for all your support.

[00:34:11] Oh, that was it.

[00:34:11] Uh, Nave, I am, you know, less than like 50 days out from, uh, being homeless and moving

[00:34:16] through the great white North.

[00:34:18] So, uh, I'm not going to be producing as much broadcast content, even less than I currently

[00:34:24] am probably.

[00:34:25] But I have a lot of things in my old back pocket that I've been just been brainstorming

[00:34:30] like every episode I'm not on.

[00:34:32] I'm like listening to Nave talk to all our online co-op partners like Keith and just thinking

[00:34:37] like, man, here's what we should do.

[00:34:38] We should bra bra bra bra bra bra bra bra.

[00:34:40] So I have a lot of stuff that I'm working on.

[00:34:42] And once I get settled in like two ish, three ish months, Nave, I got some things that

[00:34:46] we should start doing.

[00:34:47] Give me the dossier.

[00:34:49] Yeah.

[00:34:49] I'll put it together.

[00:34:50] I mean, I've been trying to work extra hard on the notes.

[00:34:53] I've been putting screenshots and all sorts of bullshit in there.

[00:34:55] Are you adding to the AMI the asshole sheet?

[00:34:57] Cause I'm slowly watching it get whittled down and I'm just like, I don't know how he

[00:35:00] did this.

[00:35:01] I have not had time to really update the AMI the asshole sheet.

[00:35:04] So surprisingly we had over a hundred, you know, different assholes and now it is dwindling

[00:35:10] very quickly.

[00:35:11] Yeah.

[00:35:12] Especially when I have five guests on an episode and I'm like, Oh, I didn't think about this,

[00:35:17] the, the implications of this.

[00:35:18] All right, well let's take a quick break and then we can come back and hit the assholes

[00:35:21] the music plays.

[00:35:22] Boom, boom, boom, boom.

[00:35:24] Do you guys need a bathroom break or anything?

[00:35:26] I'm good right now.

[00:35:28] All right.

[00:35:29] Before we start recording.

[00:35:30] I think, uh, Keith, you said you were already checking the asshole sheet.

[00:35:34] Have you found one that you actually want to cover?

[00:35:36] I think so.

[00:35:37] I haven't fully read it over, but I, I think I've found the one just on the topic here or

[00:35:43] on the, on the, uh, the title.

[00:35:46] All right.

[00:35:46] What number this is?

[00:35:48] Ooh, 92, 92 going deep way down there.

[00:35:54] I don't know if I noticed the last time that you had them classified by like different

[00:35:58] topics.

[00:35:58] Cause that was what I was focusing.

[00:36:00] I was like, all right, something I know about here.

[00:36:02] I like that.

[00:36:03] I mean, not all of them have topics because a lot of these, like I threw in before I was

[00:36:07] doing that.

[00:36:08] So, uh, it's good organization.

[00:36:11] I like it.

[00:36:12] I'm going to go to the group, in the group troop.

[00:36:14] I get like, you know, when you go into the gift searcher and you're like looking for a

[00:36:18] specific thing, but it's just got random text on it.

[00:36:20] Like sometimes I'm looking, I'm trying to suss out with this because it's, it's solid steak

[00:36:25] doing the seven.

[00:36:26] That was a racist.

[00:36:27] That was the only thing.

[00:36:28] I'm worried too.

[00:36:29] Cause I see the word monkey in here.

[00:36:32] It says the boys, Hornando as.

[00:36:36] Garacios.

[00:36:37] Pasadas.

[00:36:37] Da monkeys.

[00:36:38] Ada.

[00:36:38] What is monkeys?

[00:36:39] Ada.

[00:36:40] I want to translate this whole thing.

[00:36:43] All right.

[00:36:44] While you're typing in that, let's check.

[00:36:46] This is a, from five years ago from halo reach deity.

[00:36:50] This account has been suspended.

[00:36:51] So we will not be able to tell.

[00:36:53] I assume this is a burner account or something.

[00:36:56] Either way, he only got this post out.

[00:37:00] All right, Keith, would you like to lead us in?

[00:37:03] Uh, yeah, just put it down here.

[00:37:06] Alrighty.

[00:37:07] So this is, am I the asshole for refusing to unlock the armor in halo reach for my son?

[00:37:14] So some background I've 29 male been playing halo reaches to came back, came out back in 2010.

[00:37:20] I had multiple Xbox accounts.

[00:37:22] I had reached inheritor on because I'd switched to a new one after maxing out.

[00:37:26] Uh, so I gave the first account to my son when he was three and started gaming since then.

[00:37:31] He's always played halo reach with all the armor unlocked last month.

[00:37:34] They released halo reach for the MCC on PC.

[00:37:38] That's great because it brought a lot of people in and updated the game.

[00:37:41] The thing is that it also doesn't track your original halo reach career.

[00:37:44] So you start off at square one.

[00:37:45] It wasn't a real issue for me because the time needed to unlock all the armor pieces is now like 50 hours of grinding instead of 1500 hours.

[00:37:52] So I'd unlocked all the armor with two weeks.

[00:37:54] My son now nine also switched over to playing on, uh, reach on the MCC, but on Xbox and said, I assumed he was going to start from scratch on his own account.

[00:38:02] But when he started playing, he used my account instead.

[00:38:05] Apparently it tracks your profile on Xbox and PC.

[00:38:08] So the same.

[00:38:09] So what you earn on PC goes over to Xbox too.

[00:38:11] And I only found out because he had messed with my armor and didn't change it back.

[00:38:15] All right.

[00:38:16] Problem.

[00:38:17] Anyways, I told him that he needed to play on his own account and stay off mine.

[00:38:20] It was time for him to man up and earn those armor pieces on his own.

[00:38:24] Yeah.

[00:38:25] You definitely tell your nine year old, show them.

[00:38:27] Man up.

[00:38:29] I thought this was the end of it until my wife called me last Sunday, accusing me of playing Halo when I was supposed to be running errands.

[00:38:35] When I asked him about it that evening, he confessed and told me he thought I just wanted to make sure to reset the armor after he finished playing.

[00:38:41] That's that's a lie.

[00:38:42] Good play.

[00:38:43] Yeah.

[00:38:44] I like it.

[00:38:45] I like the mind, but.

[00:38:46] Very creative.

[00:38:47] I don't believe he's stupid enough to confuse the two.

[00:38:49] So I called him out for it.

[00:38:51] I scrolled in a bit and found a way to lock my account.

[00:38:53] So you have to enter a pin number with Xbox buttons when you tried to sign in and didn't tell anyone what the password is.

[00:38:58] Nice.

[00:38:59] The next day, my wife starts arguing with me.

[00:39:01] Apparently he told her what I did.

[00:39:03] He tried to sign into my profile and play Halo Reach and couldn't do it.

[00:39:06] She demanded that I go in and play on his account so I could unlock all the armor.

[00:39:10] I just flat out refused.

[00:39:13] I told him to go back to playing the original game.

[00:39:15] If he doesn't want to earn everything on his own, then he complained about having added friends.

[00:39:19] He would be.

[00:39:21] Then he complained about having added friends.

[00:39:23] He wouldn't be able to play with without having access to my account.

[00:39:25] So I just sent all the kids.

[00:39:27] He added a message telling them that to add his actual account instead.

[00:39:30] Both of them were unhappy because apparently these kids were just adding him because he lied and said he earned everything by himself legitimately.

[00:39:35] And now they're going to make fun of it.

[00:39:39] Since that evening, my wife has acted like I don't exist and my son doesn't want anything to do with me.

[00:39:44] Although my son did start playing Halo regularly on his account, it's made our home life pretty uncomfortable.

[00:39:50] Oh, man.

[00:39:51] Halo tearing the family apart.

[00:39:53] Unhappy wife, unhappy life.

[00:39:56] Dude, this kid's everything fell apart just then, dude.

[00:39:58] Yeah, just because he lost that house of cards he made on the Halo clout.

[00:40:04] And no more.

[00:40:05] No more.

[00:40:06] But you know what?

[00:40:07] I think that's a hard lesson in lying.

[00:40:11] For who?

[00:40:12] Who's learning the way?

[00:40:13] The child.

[00:40:14] The kid, right?

[00:40:16] Didn't he learn it?

[00:40:17] The kid was the one lying.

[00:40:19] Yeah, he was.

[00:40:20] Yeah, he's definitely eating it.

[00:40:22] But he's also making apparently making life miserable because the kid seems to be complaining to mom every day about it.

[00:40:29] And mom's like, I just want him to shut up.

[00:40:31] Can you please just let him play on your account?

[00:40:33] No, he needs to learn a lesson.

[00:40:36] Like, yeah, man up kid.

[00:40:38] I'm on the downside.

[00:40:40] I mean, he kind of lost me at man up.

[00:40:43] Like, yeah, I'm all about having an like a conversation about that.

[00:40:47] Like, hey, like I think we were playing Call of Duty.

[00:40:49] You had you had kind of a similar experience with Fortnite.

[00:40:52] If I recall, Phil, you're talking about one of your kids wanting to have.

[00:40:55] And I'm all about that.

[00:40:57] Earn your own your own keep.

[00:40:58] If you want to play these games, do your own because because that's the fun in it.

[00:41:03] But I think he's a little bit hard on it with the man up and needs to chill out a little bit here.

[00:41:10] No, I think you should double down.

[00:41:12] I think if you want to play around with clothes, like I'll buy you my little pony Barbie horse racing minigame or whatever.

[00:41:18] You can play with the clothes on there.

[00:41:21] This is here in Halo.

[00:41:22] We've we earn our keep.

[00:41:23] Yeah.

[00:41:24] This is like I can't it's we're so removed from being a nine year old gaming at this point, though, where it's like imagine these nine year olds actually be like, oh, man, you have the this insert armor here.

[00:41:37] You got the Hayabusa, the recon helmet.

[00:41:41] Everyone was like, how the fuck did you get a recon helmet back in Halo three?

[00:41:44] Yeah, that was cool because it was like you had no idea how to get them.

[00:41:50] Or it's like it was kind of cool in Halo Reach because you had like the flames if you pre ordered the game and bought the big money edition or whatever.

[00:41:56] Or if you got to level a bazillion, you look at money bags over here at the fire.

[00:42:03] No, this is a good point.

[00:42:05] So this is five years ago, too.

[00:42:07] So this was twenty nineteen.

[00:42:09] And that's like when the skin game really started to go off, I feel like with these games.

[00:42:14] So like like if you were to especially put this this poor nine year old kid today, that kid's getting roasted at school.

[00:42:24] So I roast Philip every time we play Halo Infinite because he rocks default.

[00:42:28] Yeah, I mean, I'm not buying nothing.

[00:42:30] You kidding me?

[00:42:31] Like I'm not going to.

[00:42:33] I don't look at myself when I play.

[00:42:35] Everyone else is looking at me.

[00:42:36] Why am I paying money for everyone to enjoy what I look like?

[00:42:40] It seems stupid.

[00:42:41] And I and I was the game.

[00:42:43] Yeah, I'm just I'm with you.

[00:42:45] I'm not going to pay money for these skins.

[00:42:47] Meanwhile, I'm rocking the cat ears and I'm sparkling purple and doing glittery shit.

[00:42:51] But I'm feeling good.

[00:42:53] All right.

[00:42:53] So he did do some replies to a couple of people that are like, why don't you just play with him in Halo and help him level up?

[00:42:59] And he highlights reach MCC leveling up is based on how many medals you get in each match is a very small base rate for just finishing the match.

[00:43:08] So if we were playing together, he get less points than if he was playing alone because he'd be stealing all the kills away from him.

[00:43:14] And it would be harder for him because apparently true.

[00:43:17] Oh, good.

[00:43:18] That this kid would not be able to level up.

[00:43:21] But he fucking maxed out like eight accounts.

[00:43:24] I hope he's good at this game.

[00:43:26] You know, those people that play civilization and don't know how to do a science victory after like 1500 hours.

[00:43:31] They don't know what a science victory is.

[00:43:33] They just always conquest.

[00:43:35] He's also stating that like, and just grinding for XP isn't very fun.

[00:43:42] So by the way he's designed or whatever, like, I don't know.

[00:43:46] There's not an easy way for this kid to get it short of just grinding.

[00:43:49] Oh, man, he's also just going off.

[00:43:51] He's a Halo reach Stan.

[00:43:53] Halo reach is the best Halo game ever made, if not the best first person shooter.

[00:43:58] I pray that you're just a troll and God will have mercy on your eternal soul if you're not.

[00:44:02] Yeah.

[00:44:04] And the response was.

[00:44:08] He's saying this to a guy that just said Halo three and Halo two were better than reach.

[00:44:13] His name is Halo reach deity.

[00:44:16] He has a lot of reach.

[00:44:19] He's standing up business over here.

[00:44:21] That's a weird Halo to get hung up on, isn't it?

[00:44:25] Like I don't know.

[00:44:26] No, there are people who like it the most.

[00:44:30] Okay.

[00:44:31] I don't.

[00:44:32] I've never really got into him.

[00:44:33] We've played, I don't know, a couple of them at this point, but I just, I don't know enough about which one is supposed to be good and bad.

[00:44:39] I think I think most people say three is the best or two.

[00:44:43] It's like, it's a, it's a fight between three and two and then reaches there that like they, they got its own like niche audience with its like armor abilities and shit.

[00:44:53] And loadouts.

[00:44:54] Yeah.

[00:44:54] Yeah.

[00:44:55] He was like, Oh man, they put loadouts in Halo.

[00:44:57] What is this?

[00:44:58] Call of duty four?

[00:44:59] Because this one was coming out at the time.

[00:45:02] This is called duty four and four to black ops one.

[00:45:05] Maybe I'm not sure.

[00:45:06] And then all the good Halo reach game modes are the ones that take the fucking loadouts away.

[00:45:11] Yeah.

[00:45:11] It's like, good.

[00:45:12] We're all the same again.

[00:45:14] I round table.

[00:45:15] Who's the asshole here?

[00:45:17] Because it's hard to tell.

[00:45:18] I always think mom's the asshole for getting in the middle of them.

[00:45:21] Oh, I forgot about the mom a little bit.

[00:45:24] And, and like, cause my wife doesn't play any video games.

[00:45:27] So like, if there's like a conversation about like, I'm going to mom, but, but that's where

[00:45:33] she's like, you know what?

[00:45:33] She's like, I know you do.

[00:45:35] I'll trust you to like, if you don't think a game is appropriate for their age, whatever

[00:45:39] it may be.

[00:45:39] She's like, you kind of, she doesn't ask a lot of questions.

[00:45:43] And, and unless I'm just outright being unreasonable, she rarely will ever ask like, why?

[00:45:48] So maybe in this case, honestly, I think I could see this one being like, why can't he just

[00:45:51] play on your account deck?

[00:45:53] You don't get it.

[00:45:55] You just don't get it.

[00:45:56] I know he's fucking with everything.

[00:45:58] Like, like let him get on your cell phone and make a bunch of text messages and shit.

[00:46:02] Like let him get on your Facebook to look at stuff.

[00:46:04] Like, I don't, but yeah, I'm going to mess with your YouTube algorithm.

[00:46:08] I definitely don't think he is the asshole.

[00:46:10] I think he's probably mishandling his situation.

[00:46:13] He's not playing it well.

[00:46:15] I know he's not doing himself any favors, but I don't think he's an asshole.

[00:46:18] I think he's just an idiot.

[00:46:21] Me reading through some of this.

[00:46:23] I really think the wife is like instigating way more than she needs to be.

[00:46:27] Like, it sounds like she, cause the way he's saying, cause we're only getting it from

[00:46:31] the dude's perspective, but the way he's describing her coming at him is that she demands he play

[00:46:37] on the halo on her.

[00:46:38] He demands he unlocks the halo.

[00:46:40] He argues with her immediately after.

[00:46:43] It's like, what, what's the wife?

[00:46:45] Why is the wife so invested in this kid?

[00:46:47] It sounds like she's kind of coddling him a little bit.

[00:46:49] Okay.

[00:46:49] No, here I figured it out.

[00:46:51] What if the wife is actually playing on the account too?

[00:46:55] Oh my God.

[00:46:56] She wants to gain access because it wasn't a big deal till we put a password on it that

[00:47:00] only he knows.

[00:47:01] So meanwhile, whenever little Jimmy's at school and dad's at work, mom is.

[00:47:07] She's the one messing with the armor cause she likes the armors.

[00:47:11] Find the conspiracy in the, in the post.

[00:47:13] I like this.

[00:47:14] It has to be it.

[00:47:15] The mom's the asshole.

[00:47:16] She's been lying this whole time playing both sides and Jimmy is just a scapegoat.

[00:47:23] She's a spy.

[00:47:25] Yep.

[00:47:27] Much like that.

[00:47:28] Uh, the old lady in modern warfare three multiplayer campaign, which we'll get

[00:47:32] to.

[00:47:33] I don't know what you're talking about.

[00:47:35] You don't remember that one mission that was approximately three minutes long at a whole

[00:47:38] it was to be, we'll get to it.

[00:47:41] I'm really spicy thinking about modern warfare.

[00:47:45] I'm not, I was not happy with it either.

[00:47:48] All right, let's get another asshole.

[00:47:50] Next one.

[00:47:50] I got one.

[00:47:51] I regret number 32.

[00:47:53] This one's called duty related because I, I don't know.

[00:47:56] Anytime I could take some shots at call of duty.

[00:47:58] I'm excited for now.

[00:48:01] Meanwhile, this is so funny, dude.

[00:48:04] You picked the one.

[00:48:06] Yes.

[00:48:07] You picked this one.

[00:48:08] Okay.

[00:48:09] So on game pass grab back at the end, they're like, you know, it would be cute if we did

[00:48:13] an MIT asshole.

[00:48:14] And this is the one I picked.

[00:48:16] You did this one already.

[00:48:17] Damn.

[00:48:18] I randomly picked it.

[00:48:19] And then you, and now you're like this one.

[00:48:21] And I just like, Oh shit.

[00:48:23] I read the name and I'm like, Oh my God.

[00:48:25] Well, our listeners might've not heard.

[00:48:27] So we can.

[00:48:27] I love this one.

[00:48:29] Okay.

[00:48:29] This is from, I ran there.

[00:48:32] I am, or I ran there.

[00:48:34] Or I am.

[00:48:35] Okay.

[00:48:35] Okay.

[00:48:36] Yeah.

[00:48:36] I misread that.

[00:48:37] Uh, who has only done this only post burner account.

[00:48:41] He did some replies though.

[00:48:43] So, uh, we might get more information if we need it.

[00:48:46] Am I the asshole for wanting to play call of duty on Christmas instead of spending time

[00:48:50] with my wife and kids.

[00:48:53] All right.

[00:48:53] Strong start.

[00:48:54] Strong start.

[00:48:55] All right.

[00:48:55] My birthday's on Christmas day.

[00:48:57] I have always spent my birthday celebrating Christmas and never doing anything I want.

[00:49:03] My son is three.

[00:49:05] My daughter is six months.

[00:49:06] I spend a lot of time with them and my wife barely see my friends anymore.

[00:49:11] This Christmas.

[00:49:12] I just want to play cod with the boys.

[00:49:14] They're all going to be playing cod on Chris.

[00:49:19] My birthday.

[00:49:20] And I don't want to miss out.

[00:49:22] They are never online at the same time.

[00:49:24] My wife is incredibly angry with me and wants to throw my new Xbox out the window.

[00:49:31] I'm angry because I just want to play cod with the boys on my birthday.

[00:49:35] Am I an asshole?

[00:49:37] All right.

[00:49:37] Now read it like a gig of Chad.

[00:49:39] You guys feel like you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're tainting the waters

[00:49:43] a little bit here.

[00:49:44] Am I making it, making them sound a little, little whiny ish.

[00:49:48] No, this guy's a wiener.

[00:49:50] Like just get over it.

[00:49:52] It's your birthday.

[00:49:55] It's your birthday.

[00:49:55] But that's why it's his birthday.

[00:49:57] He never gets to celebrate his birthday.

[00:49:59] I don't give a fuck about birthdays.

[00:50:01] I don't either.

[00:50:02] But the boys, the, the pro the primary thing here is that the boys are all online at the

[00:50:07] same time, which is a rare event.

[00:50:10] Sounds like poor planning with him and the boys.

[00:50:12] I can make it a bowling night.

[00:50:14] Just work out another date.

[00:50:16] Like, Oh, obviously it's not that fun.

[00:50:18] If they're not willing to schedule out time to play with our OP here, maybe the boys don't

[00:50:25] really care about playing cod that much with the OP.

[00:50:28] And it just happened to be that they're all aligned this time.

[00:50:31] The stars aligned.

[00:50:32] And he's like, these guys have been dodging me for so long, but here I know they're going

[00:50:36] to be online.

[00:50:38] Yeah.

[00:50:38] And I like this wrinkle.

[00:50:39] I, I like this angle because I hadn't looked at it this way.

[00:50:44] Yeah.

[00:50:45] It's like so far, our OP sounds like a little punk.

[00:50:48] Like he says stuff like, uh, where is it?

[00:50:51] Uh, my son is three and my daughter's six months and I spend a lot of time with him and my wife.

[00:50:57] I hope you spend a lot of time with your six month old baby at this, you know, it's

[00:51:02] like, what else would you say?

[00:51:04] Like, and I never see them.

[00:51:05] Like, what do you, what's happening here?

[00:51:08] But so what I'm confused about, which is something I talked about on the other show, but what

[00:51:14] so on Christmas, you only do Christmas for like the morning, right?

[00:51:20] You don't could Christmas is a whole day thing, right?

[00:51:23] Well, no.

[00:51:24] Well, sometimes like sometimes, uh, people will like do like, Oh, we're going to watch a

[00:51:28] Christmas movie together after opening presents or something.

[00:51:31] Like that.

[00:51:32] Or the kids are going to die.

[00:51:36] They'll play with their toys and then we'll make like maybe a big Christmas dinner or something.

[00:51:40] Christmas day dinner.

[00:51:42] And then after that, watch like family movies or something.

[00:51:44] I don't know.

[00:51:45] We're going to watch the new Disney, uh, beauty and the beast to wintertime edition or whatever

[00:51:51] that movie is.

[00:51:51] Like, you know, that sounds like to me, it sounds like there's a lot of boys time in the

[00:51:55] middle of all of that.

[00:51:56] There probably is, but that's also probably dealing with all the Christmas fall.

[00:52:01] Like all the trash.

[00:52:03] Like there's a lot of stuff that goes into as a parent of three who's gone through quite

[00:52:08] a few Christmases with my kids.

[00:52:10] Like you are pretty busy on Christmas as it turns out, because a lot of times you're setting

[00:52:17] up Xboxes, you're putting together hoverboards, you're doing all sorts of bullshit that the

[00:52:22] kids cannot be trusted to do with all the new stuff that you just bought them or Santa

[00:52:27] brought them in case you're one of those.

[00:52:30] I mean, it's a good thing.

[00:52:31] Santa brings the, the things that can be built the night before.

[00:52:34] That's what I always appreciate about Santa.

[00:52:36] Yeah.

[00:52:37] Or like bikes, stuff that it's hard to wrap.

[00:52:39] Santa's usually good on that.

[00:52:41] Yeah.

[00:52:41] He knows what's up.

[00:52:43] I'm lying really bad.

[00:52:45] That's fine.

[00:52:46] Uh, there's edits.

[00:52:46] So there might be more information here at it.

[00:52:49] Number one.

[00:52:51] Oh God, there's, there's a lot.

[00:52:52] Okay.

[00:52:53] I'm getting flamed here and I feel like the asshole, but I don't think it's a crazy ask.

[00:52:57] I was flaming this guy.

[00:52:58] So that's good.

[00:53:00] Uh, I've never really celebrated my birthday.

[00:53:01] I was lucky if anyone other than my brother said the words, happy birthday to me.

[00:53:07] My mom was super religious.

[00:53:09] It made us spend every Christmas at church from 8am to 8pm.

[00:53:13] What?

[00:53:14] That's insane.

[00:53:15] That sounds horrible.

[00:53:17] No wonder this guy hates Christmas.

[00:53:19] Yeah.

[00:53:19] He's a, no, he's a Grinch with a reason.

[00:53:22] All right.

[00:53:22] The only acknowledgement I ever got from my family was a cake after dinner and a pack of socks.

[00:53:27] Once I left home that day after my high school graduation.

[00:53:31] And that's when I met my boys that I mentioned in my post.

[00:53:35] We've been to everywhere together.

[00:53:37] I have literally saved each other's lives.

[00:53:39] They are my brothers.

[00:53:41] They've always made me feel like my birthday was actually my birthday and not just Christmas.

[00:53:45] My wife has done this too, but not to the extent that the boys have.

[00:53:48] She's not one of the boys.

[00:53:50] Also, I haven't gotten together since my son was born.

[00:53:53] We all live in different states and we never see each other anymore.

[00:53:57] Obviously these boys aren't important if it's been, you know, what do they say?

[00:54:00] How old is the son?

[00:54:02] The son is three.

[00:54:02] If it's been three years and you guys haven't hang up, you must have not been that important.

[00:54:08] I'm still lagging.

[00:54:10] I have no idea what anyone's saying.

[00:54:12] Oh, I'm just getting really angry.

[00:54:13] It's all right.

[00:54:14] I'm back.

[00:54:16] Okay.

[00:54:16] What did I miss?

[00:54:17] I assume you read the first edit.

[00:54:19] Yeah.

[00:54:19] I read the first edit talking about how the mom's out of boys and like,

[00:54:24] Mom's not a boys.

[00:54:25] What are you talking about?

[00:54:26] Of course.

[00:54:27] I get.

[00:54:27] Oh, no, there's the mom and there's the wife in this case.

[00:54:31] Uh, he's saying that since his son has been born three years, uh, the boys have not been back in town.

[00:54:37] The boys are not in back in town.

[00:54:38] Whatever the song is.

[00:54:40] The boys are back in town.

[00:54:41] Yes.

[00:54:41] I got you.

[00:54:42] Yeah.

[00:54:43] So this is, this is my thing is, and it's a, and I actually, I think we've, I brought this up on the last time I was on with you guys is that I feel like there's missing information because it sounds to me like this guy was in the, in the military.

[00:54:58] Like he's talking about, they saved each other's lives and unless it's in call of duty, they saved each other.

[00:55:02] I don't know.

[00:55:03] It won't seem up.

[00:55:04] But here's the, so, so I'm like, I've never served, but my brother was in for a while.

[00:55:09] And I know he has a lot of friends that live all over the country and like how that works.

[00:55:13] But in the last six months, he's like, oh yeah, I went and visited this state.

[00:55:16] Cause I went and visited one of my friends.

[00:55:18] I went to this other state because it was my friend's birthday.

[00:55:20] He flew from Alaska to like Tennessee because it was his boy's birthday.

[00:55:25] Um, that's a big, that's a big move.

[00:55:27] So it sounds like the boys' birthdays.

[00:55:30] Exactly.

[00:55:30] So, you know, it feels weird.

[00:55:33] And this is where I think you are into something with maybe these guys just don't like him as much as they do.

[00:55:40] No, but they're saying that apparently they do like him cause he made his birthday special, even though it's Christmas.

[00:55:47] It's cause they were all serving in Iraq together and they had nothing better to do.

[00:55:51] Like great.

[00:55:52] It's your birthday.

[00:55:53] Cool.

[00:55:53] The jerk off in the port-a-potty was too long.

[00:55:55] So instead they went to the mess hall and got him an extra brownie.

[00:56:00] And they don't care about Christmas at that point.

[00:56:02] It just doesn't matter.

[00:56:03] Okay.

[00:56:04] All right.

[00:56:05] So there's more edits.

[00:56:07] Okay.

[00:56:07] I was planning on, Oh, here it is.

[00:56:10] Let me fix that.

[00:56:11] Okay.

[00:56:11] I was not planning on playing all day.

[00:56:14] I planned on opening presents with the family, then hopping on with the boys around noon.

[00:56:18] I get what everyone's saying, but I don't think it's a big ask.

[00:56:21] Family time is incredibly important, but I happen to think cod with the boys is too.

[00:56:26] Uh, guy with hands emoji.

[00:56:29] I think that's shrugging.

[00:56:31] Okay.

[00:56:33] So, uh, how important is cod with the boys related to your family?

[00:56:39] Uh, I'd say I put it up there in B tier of importance.

[00:56:43] Okay.

[00:56:44] How, where is family on that scale?

[00:56:46] Uh, this family beat the boys probably a yes.

[00:56:51] I think it's B a and then S tier being, you know, sleep sleeps important.

[00:56:57] Yeah.

[00:56:58] I mean, if we look at, what is it like?

[00:57:01] Oh, I forgot his name.

[00:57:02] Fucking as loves hierarchy of needs.

[00:57:05] Like down at the bottom, you have your base needs of like food and sleep.

[00:57:09] The next you have like family.

[00:57:10] And then on, that is cod with the boys.

[00:57:12] Yeah.

[00:57:12] Yeah.

[00:57:13] That's exactly right.

[00:57:14] Yeah.

[00:57:15] And then apathiosis, when you become God is like at the top, you know, after you get

[00:57:19] done with caught in the boys, I don't, I don't know.

[00:57:22] Ascension.

[00:57:23] Ascension.

[00:57:23] Yeah.

[00:57:25] All right.

[00:57:25] From one more edit.

[00:57:26] Thanks for the input.

[00:57:27] Everyone to clarify a few things.

[00:57:29] I will not be helping with dinner.

[00:57:30] I never do.

[00:57:32] And it's for the best.

[00:57:33] My wife and I agree.

[00:57:33] So he's able to play God while she makes dinner.

[00:57:36] So they do do a Christmas dinner.

[00:57:38] Yes.

[00:57:39] I spend a lot of time with my family.

[00:57:40] I always wanted to give them the dad.

[00:57:42] I never had.

[00:57:43] My dad is still around, but was a drunk and has a new family.

[00:57:48] Now I'm very close with my son and hopefully I'm just as close to my daughter

[00:57:52] when she's a little older.

[00:57:54] Cause that's six months old.

[00:57:55] I can't stand to be around her.

[00:57:56] No, he doesn't say that, but you know, it's implied.

[00:57:58] Been around a six month old before.

[00:58:00] Yeah.

[00:58:00] Don't do much.

[00:58:01] They don't do much.

[00:58:02] A lot of sleeping.

[00:58:04] I did.

[00:58:04] I've done a lot of gaming with my Arthur when he was little and you just like

[00:58:07] lay in the crook of my leg while I game, you know?

[00:58:11] Yeah.

[00:58:11] Uh, he says, I spent a lot of time with my family.

[00:58:14] Oh, wait, I mentioned, I read that already.

[00:58:15] My wife is convinced that the boys don't like her.

[00:58:18] Oh, it's gone deeper.

[00:58:19] Now we've been together a total of 10.5 years.

[00:58:23] And she's always said that they feel like she stole me away from them.

[00:58:27] This is not true.

[00:58:28] And they have never indicated this.

[00:58:31] It seems kind of true because once the baby was born, where were the boys?

[00:58:35] You know what I'm saying?

[00:58:36] I don't know what you're saying.

[00:58:37] Cause I heard you say, I know, but I'm, I'm lagging again.

[00:58:40] So I have no idea what you said.

[00:58:42] He's claiming that she did not steal him from the boys.

[00:58:44] But once the baby was born, it seems like the boys disappeared is what I'm saying.

[00:58:49] So the babies are at fault.

[00:58:50] Yeah.

[00:58:51] The babies stole him away from the boys.

[00:58:53] He should be blaming his son.

[00:58:55] Not the wife.

[00:58:56] Yeah.

[00:58:56] Tell the, well, no, he's not blaming the wife.

[00:58:58] The wife's blaming herself and he should convince her that it's the children's fault.

[00:59:02] Okay.

[00:59:02] It's always the children's fault.

[00:59:04] Uh, when I do get to play, I don't shirk my responsibilities.

[00:59:07] I always do what I have to, but I mostly just play on a rare occasion that I get the

[00:59:10] house to myself.

[00:59:11] What I'm asking for is uninterrupted time with the boys.

[00:59:15] I haven't even thought of asking about this before.

[00:59:17] It doesn't seem to matter how long to my wife.

[00:59:19] She doesn't want me online at all.

[00:59:22] All right.

[00:59:23] So this seems like the whole thing about this is that there's like this hard line with the

[00:59:27] wife where it's like nothing like no internet at all.

[00:59:32] And that just seems kind of strange.

[00:59:33] Cause it's like, it doesn't seem crazy to be like, Hey, for my birthday, can everyone

[00:59:39] just leave me alone for a little bit?

[00:59:40] I just want to be left alone.

[00:59:42] She talks about she's making Christmas dinner with a three year old and a six month old.

[00:59:46] And he's like, I want to be uninterrupted playing call of duty while you're doing this.

[00:59:51] Hey, put those kids to work in the kitchen, man.

[00:59:53] The kids love cooking.

[00:59:55] It can't be bad.

[00:59:56] It can't be worse than what he would do in the kitchen.

[00:59:57] He's going to fuck everything up.

[00:59:58] He's going to burn the tacos.

[01:00:00] What do people eat for Christmas?

[01:00:02] I've never definitely tacos.

[01:00:03] We always talk tacos.

[01:00:04] Yeah.

[01:00:05] Like that's what I want.

[01:00:07] Like we would have like kind of like a Christmassy meal, like on Christmas Eve.

[01:00:11] And then Christmas day, it was tacos.

[01:00:13] You would make like a massive buffet at like noon and you would just eat tacos until 10

[01:00:18] PM.

[01:00:19] Fuck.

[01:00:19] Yeah.

[01:00:21] Taco sounds so good right now.

[01:00:22] That might be a new tradition in this household.

[01:00:24] I like that.

[01:00:25] Yeah.

[01:00:26] It's easy to cook.

[01:00:27] It's just, you just put the ingredients out, you know, and then people make it themselves.

[01:00:32] But these were like white people tacos.

[01:00:34] So it was like, you know, the ground beef with the taco packet, you know, the taco seasoning.

[01:00:41] Yeah.

[01:00:42] So I would snort those tacos, these packets, man.

[01:00:45] So good.

[01:00:47] They smell so good.

[01:00:49] But yeah, that's what we would do for Christmas dinner.

[01:00:51] So I mean, round table.

[01:00:53] I think this guy's an asshole.

[01:00:54] Just reschedule with the boys.

[01:00:56] If it matters, you'll make time.

[01:00:59] Rescheduling.

[01:01:00] So annoying.

[01:01:01] I know.

[01:01:02] I am the one who schedules the podcast usually.

[01:01:07] And that makes me so nothing makes me angrier than when someone goes, Hey, can we push this

[01:01:11] day?

[01:01:11] And I go, Oh my God, I have to tell like five people.

[01:01:14] Cause usually when a reschedule happens, someone ends up dropping.

[01:01:18] It always happens.

[01:01:19] And I'm like, okay, well, we're going to lose somebody in this transition.

[01:01:23] Probably.

[01:01:23] Probably.

[01:01:24] I told Jana that Nick wasn't going to be on the pod tonight or whatever.

[01:01:26] He's just like, Oh no, you guys going to reschedule?

[01:01:28] And I'm like, I don't think that's going to happen.

[01:01:31] Which the Nick knew Nick knows me and him have had this discussion before.

[01:01:35] I'm just like, I'm not, I would rather just not have someone.

[01:01:38] Nick is just dead to us in this point.

[01:01:40] Yeah.

[01:01:40] RIP Nick.

[01:01:42] Oh seven.

[01:01:42] And then a fucking will was going to come on to you.

[01:01:45] Will was going to be there physically with him.

[01:01:47] And so since Nick's not there, he was also a casualty, but we'll left a message that we'll

[01:01:54] read later.

[01:01:55] And I'm trying to understand it.

[01:01:57] I'm not sure what I know what he's referring to.

[01:01:59] I know what he's referring to.

[01:02:01] By the way, that gift, but I translated it an hour ago.

[01:02:04] Please.

[01:02:05] I don't know.

[01:02:06] I don't know what monkey Zada is, but the rest of it translates to the boys honoring monkey

[01:02:10] Zada's past generations.

[01:02:13] So I don't know if it's like going monkey mode.

[01:02:16] It's something like a meme about that feels like I'm not typing just monkeys.

[01:02:22] Oh, is this Portuguese?

[01:02:24] No, it's Spanish.

[01:02:25] Okay.

[01:02:25] Cause I thought it was like Spanish, but I'm like, that looks like French symbols or

[01:02:28] letters.

[01:02:31] Oh, there's monkeys.

[01:02:32] Zada is supposed to be maka kata, which means a lot of monkeys.

[01:02:42] A lot of monkeys.

[01:02:44] A lot of monkeys.

[01:02:46] All right.

[01:02:46] Round table is this guy an asshole?

[01:02:48] Cause I think he is.

[01:02:49] Yeah.

[01:02:50] Yeah.

[01:02:50] He's a little bit of an asshole.

[01:02:51] Spend time with your family.

[01:02:52] You jerk.

[01:02:53] I don't know.

[01:02:53] So that's the whole thing is I, the mom, the wife seems to also have something wrong

[01:02:58] with her.

[01:02:58] Right.

[01:03:00] So Xbox, right?

[01:03:01] Or is that?

[01:03:02] Yeah.

[01:03:02] Throw the Xbox out.

[01:03:03] Like why though?

[01:03:04] Like for his birthday, he wants to do the caught thing, but like, yeah, help with like

[01:03:08] cleaning up.

[01:03:09] Like I assume cause he said in the morning he's going to do Christmas, like the presents

[01:03:13] and then at noon is when call of duty with the boys starts.

[01:03:16] I'm assuming they're going to wake up at like eight in the morning.

[01:03:19] Right.

[01:03:19] There's a lot of time for like helping and doing stuff.

[01:03:22] And then once everything's kind of situated, once you, you know, I don't know what you do

[01:03:27] with kids, but like once the kids are doing their Christmas stuff, I assume they're playing

[01:03:30] with their little Nerf guns or whatever.

[01:03:33] There's a baby.

[01:03:34] So the baby's sleeping probably.

[01:03:36] It's like, yeah, play some call of duty.

[01:03:39] If the wife is like super against that for like only because she wants you to spend time

[01:03:44] with the family that you're always spending time with anyway.

[01:03:46] It's like, maybe she's being a little unreasonable, but again, we're only getting it from his

[01:03:53] perspective.

[01:03:54] So I do want to highlight, Nate, that your opinion might be invalid based on your t-shirt

[01:03:57] because you're just shut everyone out.

[01:04:03] My t-shirt is so funny.

[01:04:07] It's a picture of my headphones and it says, can't hear you.

[01:04:11] I'm gaming.

[01:04:12] Yeah.

[01:04:13] My mom bought me this shirt for Christmas.

[01:04:16] Probably.

[01:04:17] Cause your mom buys you only a, I'm about to level up shirts.

[01:04:21] Yeah.

[01:04:23] And the Rudo shirts.

[01:04:25] Watch the Rudo mall.

[01:04:26] My mom buys me generic gamer shirts for teenagers.

[01:04:30] That's amazing though.

[01:04:32] I love it.

[01:04:33] Okay.

[01:04:34] That's funny.

[01:04:34] I, I, I think I, I think this, yeah, this guy's got a weird obsession with the boys.

[01:04:40] I, he just, he can't stop saying the boys and it's, it gets to be a little bit uncomfortable,

[01:04:44] but I do think he should be treated like an adult and not have his Xbox threatened to

[01:04:48] be thrown out over wanting to play a little bit.

[01:04:51] So like that's where I'm back on his side.

[01:04:53] This is what being separated from the boys does to a person.

[01:04:56] It makes you repeatedly say them and make everyone else uncomfortable.

[01:05:00] I also just want to know how they saved each other.

[01:05:05] That's really what I need to know.

[01:05:07] Yeah.

[01:05:08] It sounds like they got it into it at one point where he's like, I just want to play with the

[01:05:11] boys on my birthday.

[01:05:12] And she's like, listen here, you soft cock motherfucker.

[01:05:15] I will send that Xbox through the second story window.

[01:05:17] If you do not spend time with your six month old daughter.

[01:05:20] And then he's like, I'm going to read it.

[01:05:23] She has no idea what they are.

[01:05:25] I'll do the, in the gusto that he goes to Reddit and expressing himself and then gets flamed by

[01:05:33] everyone and still comes back to defend himself.

[01:05:36] This guy just needs to understand when he's lost his, his most downvoted comment.

[01:05:42] Minus one 12.

[01:05:43] I love my kids, but I see them every day.

[01:05:45] I spend almost every waking moment, either working or with my wife and kids.

[01:05:49] Christmas never been special or important to me at all.

[01:05:51] I just don't see it the same way.

[01:05:52] I guess you're not winning yourself any, any favors when you start talking like that.

[01:05:58] I, whether he's right or wrong, whether it's right or wrong.

[01:06:04] Yeah.

[01:06:04] You don't, you don't come to this being like, Hey, I love my family.

[01:06:08] And I just want to be able to do a thing for a little bit.

[01:06:11] Be like, nah, they kind of suck.

[01:06:12] They don't leave me alone.

[01:06:14] And I would just like, like 10 minutes.

[01:06:16] He didn't say they kind of suck.

[01:06:18] It's like, I, I see, I spend every waking moment with my dog, but for national dog day,

[01:06:25] I don't get it.

[01:06:25] You don't specify every waking moment.

[01:06:29] If it's bad, if it's a good thing, unless you're like, I would love to spend every waking moment doing this.

[01:06:34] But if you're saying I already spend every waking moment doing it, you are complaining about it.

[01:06:39] Well, no, if you bring way, if you bring it up on, if you just bring that up out of the blue that way.

[01:06:44] Yes.

[01:06:44] But he's getting flamed.

[01:06:45] He's on defense mode.

[01:06:46] He's like in the back foot.

[01:06:47] He's, he's trying to, he's trying to like rationalize this thought process.

[01:06:53] Right?

[01:06:53] Rationalize all you want friends.

[01:06:55] You're looking to, you're looking to the internet.

[01:06:59] Yeah.

[01:07:00] I don't think Reddit's a good place to like actually figure out if you're an asshole.

[01:07:03] He should have called his mom.

[01:07:04] That's what he should have done.

[01:07:05] That's how it's really going with that.

[01:07:07] Well, his mom would be in church.

[01:07:10] His mom was, yeah, his mom's in church.

[01:07:14] And his dad's with his new family.

[01:07:16] So he won't answer.

[01:07:17] Yeah.

[01:07:17] He's drunk.

[01:07:18] And maybe he's got a new half brother.

[01:07:20] He could be playing with.

[01:07:21] There's some, some boys.

[01:07:22] He doesn't even know about boys.

[01:07:23] He doesn't even know.

[01:07:26] This guy's missing out of the way.

[01:07:28] Yeah.

[01:07:28] The boys.

[01:07:29] All right.

[01:07:30] Nave, do you have one?

[01:07:32] Uh, uh, yeah.

[01:07:33] Uh, Rachel, give me a number randomly fast between one and a hundred.

[01:07:39] Jinx.

[01:07:41] Uh, probably give me a different number than that.

[01:07:43] She said 32.

[01:07:45] Uh, no, she said 14.

[01:07:46] This one works.

[01:07:46] Nevermind.

[01:07:47] I figured those ones up at the top usually are taken.

[01:07:51] Oh, this is a tiny one.

[01:07:53] Uh, no good.

[01:07:53] I'm glad.

[01:07:54] Uh, this will be nice and crispy.

[01:07:56] Crisp end.

[01:07:59] This is from, this is fresh from a month ago.

[01:08:03] Uh, it looks like a burner account.

[01:08:06] Yeah.

[01:08:06] The first words in the post are throwaway account.

[01:08:09] Which number is this?

[01:08:11] Uh, number 14, 14, 14.

[01:08:15] Yep.

[01:08:15] Global where 1635.

[01:08:19] Uh, and the title is, am I the asshole for, I said to someone during a game.

[01:08:24] Great.

[01:08:25] Right.

[01:08:27] Thankfully, this is very short.

[01:08:29] Uh, it says throwaway account, by the way, am young.

[01:08:33] So that might be another reason why I said that.

[01:08:36] Can we need you to add that flair?

[01:08:38] Yep.

[01:08:38] Also, uh, one paragraph.

[01:08:41] Yeah, it is a paragraph.

[01:08:43] So, I mean, look at that.

[01:08:43] Not, not indented.

[01:08:45] You didn't hit tabs.

[01:08:46] I think it's one sentence too.

[01:08:47] No, there's a period.

[01:08:49] There's like two periods in there.

[01:08:50] All right.

[01:08:51] Good.

[01:08:52] Uh, I was playing a game called Roblox while playing.

[01:08:56] I met these two people.

[01:08:58] All was well at the start.

[01:09:00] After a while, I was asked from, I was asked for money from girl one in game money.

[01:09:06] I felt like having a bit of fun.

[01:09:09] So I asked their friend girl two in private chat.

[01:09:12] What should I ask them to do?

[01:09:14] I took inspiration from nitro nuke, a Roblox YouTuber.

[01:09:18] I want to throw up.

[01:09:19] I hate it.

[01:09:19] It made me sick hearing that as well.

[01:09:21] I'm like, Oh God.

[01:09:23] Like Roblox.

[01:09:25] One of these things he asked people to do is to meow.

[01:09:29] So before I did anything, I asked her friend if we should go with that.

[01:09:34] Fuck you, Rachel, for picking this one.

[01:09:36] In the end, I didn't go with it.

[01:09:39] But later after I'm, but later after I left, she messaged me telling me that what I did wasn't right.

[01:09:48] Wait, but he didn't go through there, right?

[01:09:51] Yeah, but he suggested it.

[01:09:53] Yeah.

[01:09:53] Oh, okay.

[01:09:54] I got you.

[01:09:54] Oh yeah.

[01:09:55] It was like, Hey, you should give me a kiss.

[01:09:56] JK.

[01:09:57] LOL.

[01:09:58] Unless you're serious.

[01:09:59] Unless you're very serious.

[01:10:00] Also what I did made girl two uncomfortable at the time.

[01:10:04] I said it.

[01:10:05] My intention wasn't to make her feel uncomfortable or come off that way.

[01:10:10] I did end up apologizing to girl two.

[01:10:13] I felt like I was in the wrong because I didn't take the time.

[01:10:18] I didn't take time to think of the possible ways my message could have been taken or thinking about they might have or thinking about they might have felt because of it.

[01:10:30] I don't blame anyone but me for how I made them feel, but I just want to hear other people's opinions.

[01:10:37] So please don't hold back.

[01:10:39] He's crucifying himself out here guys.

[01:10:41] Well, no, I mean, he has some trouble.

[01:10:44] Like if we're going to comment on the writing style, not the best style, but there's a bit of poetry in this.

[01:10:50] Like I feel like it was like that second sentence.

[01:10:52] All was well at the start.

[01:10:55] Like something about that statement.

[01:10:57] Just yes, is this haiku?

[01:10:58] No, no, but like, I'm like, man, that's dead hits.

[01:11:04] All was well at the start.

[01:11:07] All was well at the start.

[01:11:09] It was all well to say, but thanks turned a little south.

[01:11:12] Okay.

[01:11:13] So he does someone up to your listener because it was very hard to keep track of.

[01:11:17] Yeah, that was boy.

[01:11:19] It's both because it's written very badly.

[01:11:21] And also I am bad at reading.

[01:11:23] So our boy is a big fan of Roblox and Roblox YouTube content, such as Nitro Nuke, who I'm unfamiliar with.

[01:11:32] Yeah, please give me the dossier on that on my desk.

[01:11:35] But he was all video where Mr. Nitro Nuke was asking people to meow in Roblox or whatever.

[01:11:43] And I assume that they're playing some kind of in game type thing, maybe like a role playing type thing like Gary's mod where you can have money and buy bullshit or whatever.

[01:11:53] Anyways, this is the worst shit.

[01:11:56] This is the worst shit I've ever seen.

[01:11:57] I don't doubt it.

[01:11:59] But anyways, he apparently found two girls and one of them asked him for money.

[01:12:04] And he suggested to the other girl that he should make the first girl meow for the money, I'm guessing.

[01:12:12] Yeah.

[01:12:13] He ended up not doing it.

[01:12:15] And then later on got a message from the other girl saying that it was real crook to even suggest that she would meow for money.

[01:12:22] Check that out, boys.

[01:12:24] And my boys, look at the break in the notes.

[01:12:28] All right.

[01:12:29] This is Nitro Nuke.

[01:12:31] Isn't it his brand content?

[01:12:34] God.

[01:12:35] This is what this kid is watching.

[01:12:39] This is what your children are watching.

[01:12:41] Calling e-girls mommy as baby Deku in Roblox voice chat.

[01:12:47] Oh, no.

[01:12:49] God.

[01:12:50] I'm so glad.

[01:12:53] I don't have one point two million views of being an eight year old in the hood voice chat.

[01:13:02] I don't really know where to start, but I think that this this comment summarizes it best.

[01:13:08] You're the asshole.

[01:13:10] Roblox.

[01:13:12] Child and also Roblox.

[01:13:14] Yeah, Roblox mentioned.

[01:13:16] It's never not correct.

[01:13:18] Yeah.

[01:13:18] Yeah.

[01:13:19] Yeah.

[01:13:19] You're playing Roblox to start.

[01:13:21] So and then also, yeah, the copying YouTubers, especially that's becoming more and more dangerous as the days go by.

[01:13:29] So do not do that.

[01:13:31] I don't know.

[01:13:32] I just feel this one made me sick.

[01:13:34] Like, yeah, I feel as uncomfortable as these two girls by just by being associated with this.

[01:13:41] I well, and I think especially because I don't think am young is true.

[01:13:47] I just I people like to tell me weird little fantasy stories on on Reddit.

[01:13:52] And this feels like.

[01:13:54] I don't know.

[01:13:56] I don't think one.

[01:13:57] It's a throwaway.

[01:13:58] We have no we have nothing to go off.

[01:14:00] I have a screenshot.

[01:14:02] I think this whether it's whether it's fake or not, I just don't think that this is is a 10 year old.

[01:14:07] I think it's just something just maybe doesn't speak English.

[01:14:09] Well, like Phil.

[01:14:12] Yeah, I should.

[01:14:14] But I could be wrong.

[01:14:15] I just I'm with you.

[01:14:16] This one.

[01:14:17] This one gives me all sorts of the uncomfortable and I don't I don't care for it.

[01:14:21] I don't like this one either.

[01:14:22] So let's just say asshole for Roblox and possibly young.

[01:14:27] Maybe.

[01:14:28] Hopefully.

[01:14:29] I hope he's young.

[01:14:30] Hopefully he actually is.

[01:14:31] I don't think this person doing the Roblox, these fucking Roblox videos is not young.

[01:14:37] So yes, that's a real asshole in this situation is the YouTubers making Roblox videos.

[01:14:43] What the one out there milking content from children just trying to play a video game by possibly making them uncomfortable.

[01:14:51] Yeah, there is.

[01:14:52] There was a period of time where gaming with Kev was it was a Roblox YouTuber that was on in our house a lot.

[01:14:58] And God, I don't miss those days.

[01:15:03] Roblox YouTubers are the worst and they are all assholes.

[01:15:07] I remember.

[01:15:08] I don't trust my daughter was like nine.

[01:15:11] She asked if she could play Roblox and I said no.

[01:15:15] And she did not.

[01:15:18] My my sister has a son.

[01:15:21] And one time he was like, this was on Christmas, actually.

[01:15:24] So full circle.

[01:15:25] But like I was visiting them for Christmas.

[01:15:27] They he turned on YouTube and just like had some shit playing.

[01:15:30] And it was the worst fucking shit that I'd ever seen in my life.

[01:15:33] I don't even remember what it was.

[01:15:34] I just instantly took it nuked it for my brain.

[01:15:36] But I immediately started making fun of this child, like because this shit sucked and like bullied him into changing it.

[01:15:42] Like I was like, you I need I don't I might have been an asshole.

[01:15:46] Everyone thought it was funny, which made me more of an asshole.

[01:15:49] Probably like I was like, I was just like, boy, and little Timmy at Christmas over his Roblox videos.

[01:15:56] He changed it onto something else.

[01:15:58] And I was like, this is fine.

[01:15:59] Like whatever it was, he knew he knew he escalated the YouTube situation and he brought it down a couple of notches.

[01:16:06] So that's how I know he knew that he was watching something shitty.

[01:16:09] And hopefully he thinks about that every time he watches.

[01:16:13] And he changes for the better.

[01:16:16] All right.

[01:16:17] And with that, let's take a quick break and then we can hit our game of the week.

[01:16:20] Please please.

[01:16:23] Dude, I want to report this YouTube channel.

[01:16:26] I don't know what I report it for.

[01:16:28] I don't but they're doing something illegal for sure.

[01:16:31] Right.

[01:16:32] The thing is, is it are they posting for kids?

[01:16:34] Are they on like YouTube kids?

[01:16:37] With these thumbnails?

[01:16:37] I don't know about that.

[01:16:38] I don't know if they're on YouTube for the kids, but this is content for children.

[01:16:42] This is content for children.

[01:16:45] I sure hope it's not on YouTube for kids.

[01:16:47] But yeah, it's not.

[01:16:48] It's targeting children is the problem.

[01:16:51] Well, yeah.

[01:16:52] Oh no, for sure it is.

[01:16:53] I just, I hope it's actually not allowed on YouTube kids at least because there is a lot of crap that's on there.

[01:17:00] Yeah.

[01:17:02] Spider-Man versus Siren Head.

[01:17:08] I would almost rather it be that than whatever this Roblox shit is.

[01:17:14] You know, your shirts are quite silly.

[01:17:16] I, Jana bought some band shirts.

[01:17:18] I don't know what website it was, but they had a running deal where it was like a mystery box of shirts.

[01:17:22] So just bottom of my size.

[01:17:24] And so I got like a whole bunch of band shirts.

[01:17:27] Now I got some cool ones like Alice Cooper and I can't, I can't remember the other ones, but the really best one though.

[01:17:34] I got a Spice Girls shirt, which is like a full print of like all the Spice Girls.

[01:17:40] That's amazing.

[01:17:40] Oh my God.

[01:17:41] That's so funny because we were playing Jackbox last night and my, we were all very drunk.

[01:17:46] And this thing came up that was like, rank these from like the most members to the least members.

[01:17:51] And the Spice Girls came up and Jesse was like, there's three.

[01:17:55] I love the Spice Girls.

[01:17:56] There's three of them.

[01:17:57] And then Rachel was grabbing me.

[01:17:58] It was a team game and she's on my team and she's crying.

[01:18:01] He's like, he's fucking wrong.

[01:18:02] He's wrong.

[01:18:04] He's wrong.

[01:18:05] I want to tell him, but I can't.

[01:18:06] The Spice Girls, but we're going to get it right.

[01:18:09] Don't worry.

[01:18:11] Fucking stupid.

[01:18:12] Yep.

[01:18:13] Oh, and like the black crows that did like the hard to handle song from rock band.

[01:18:18] Yeah.

[01:18:19] The one song.

[01:18:20] Yeah.

[01:18:21] The one hit wonder, the black crows or whatever their names are.

[01:18:24] Well, it's like crows with an extra E.

[01:18:26] So like crowez.

[01:18:28] What?

[01:18:29] Is that true?

[01:18:30] Yeah.

[01:18:31] It has like an E on the end.

[01:18:32] I don't know why you need to fact check this.

[01:18:33] Stop typing.

[01:18:36] Why is there?

[01:18:36] Is that normally how it's spelled?

[01:18:38] I don't know.

[01:18:39] No.

[01:18:40] For crows.

[01:18:41] Crows.

[01:18:41] What's the multiple of crows?

[01:18:43] Murder.

[01:18:44] No.

[01:18:44] No, he's right.

[01:18:46] He's right about that.

[01:18:47] No, I don't need the group.

[01:18:48] I need the pluralization.

[01:18:50] I believe it's C-R-O-W-S.

[01:18:52] Yeah.

[01:18:52] That's how I would spell it.

[01:18:53] Okay.

[01:18:54] Crowez.

[01:18:54] Oh my God.

[01:18:55] The black crows are going to be in Oklahoma on November.

[01:18:58] They're still alive?

[01:18:59] Yeah, dude.

[01:19:00] It's 69.

[01:19:00] They're playing at casinos.

[01:19:02] So that's not a good sign, but.

[01:19:04] It's like listening to the new Green Day album.

[01:19:07] And I'm like, oh man.

[01:19:08] It sucks.

[01:19:09] It's so sad.

[01:19:10] He still looks.

[01:19:12] He looks old young.

[01:19:13] Yeah.

[01:19:14] Yeah.

[01:19:14] It's not good.

[01:19:15] Old Billy Joe Armstrong.

[01:19:17] Is that his name?

[01:19:18] I think.

[01:19:18] Yeah, it's his name.

[01:19:19] But he's like old young.

[01:19:20] Where he's.

[01:19:21] It's almost like Elton John.

[01:19:22] Where he's like.

[01:19:23] I don't know how.

[01:19:25] What your age actually is.

[01:19:26] But I think you're too old for this.

[01:19:28] He's a hello fellow kid.

[01:19:29] Seeing really hard.

[01:19:31] He's stuck there.

[01:19:32] When you listen to the music.

[01:19:33] You're like, yeah, he's definitely stuck there.

[01:19:36] Like.

[01:19:36] Yep.

[01:19:37] This isn't healthy.

[01:19:38] This isn't healthy.

[01:19:38] His voice has not changed in 40 years of being Green Day.

[01:19:42] All right.

[01:19:43] But that's enough of that.

[01:19:44] We're here to talk about Call of Duty.

[01:19:46] Oh, and we're back.

[01:19:47] There we go.

[01:19:48] And we're back.

[01:19:49] Call of Duty.

[01:19:49] Wonder Warfare 3.

[01:19:51] This game.

[01:19:52] This game.

[01:19:53] It's weird because.

[01:19:55] It is attached to.

[01:19:57] The game.

[01:19:58] Call of Duty.

[01:20:00] Yeah.

[01:20:00] There's like a little landing.

[01:20:02] Platform.

[01:20:03] Yeah.

[01:20:03] Like multiple games.

[01:20:04] It's almost like a launcher.

[01:20:06] So this is more of.

[01:20:07] It's almost not a game.

[01:20:08] And more of an expansion.

[01:20:10] Like much like.

[01:20:11] Wings of Liberty.

[01:20:12] And uh.

[01:20:13] The heart of the swarm.

[01:20:15] Or whatever.

[01:20:15] For Starcraft.

[01:20:16] Where it's like.

[01:20:17] These are whole new campaigns.

[01:20:18] And game modes.

[01:20:19] And bullshit.

[01:20:20] But it's like.

[01:20:20] It's still Starcraft 2.

[01:20:22] Even though.

[01:20:23] I don't know if you guys are Starcraft boys.

[01:20:25] But uh.

[01:20:26] It's the same game.

[01:20:27] Big expansion.

[01:20:27] That's as big as a regular game.

[01:20:29] Or should be.

[01:20:31] But this is.

[01:20:32] Call of Duty.

[01:20:32] Modern Warfare 3.

[01:20:34] Which is a part.

[01:20:35] All right.

[01:20:35] You guys are going to have to help me with this one.

[01:20:37] Because I've been out of the Call of Duty for a while.

[01:20:38] But this is like the sequel franchise.

[01:20:40] If we're doing the Star Wars.

[01:20:42] Like the original series.

[01:20:43] Original trilogy.

[01:20:44] Is like.

[01:20:45] Call of Duty 4.

[01:20:46] Modern Warfare.

[01:20:47] Modern Warfare 2.

[01:20:48] Modern Warfare 3.

[01:20:50] And then they have the sequel trilogy.

[01:20:52] Which is like.

[01:20:53] Modern Warfare.

[01:20:54] Modern Warfare 2.

[01:20:55] And Modern Warfare 3.

[01:20:57] Uh.

[01:20:57] No.

[01:20:58] These are reboots.

[01:21:00] Are they reboots?

[01:21:00] These Modern Warfare games are reboots.

[01:21:03] So.

[01:21:04] The reason why.

[01:21:05] Is because there is a character that.

[01:21:07] Dies in the original.

[01:21:08] That is not dead.

[01:21:09] And instead a different character dies.

[01:21:11] I was confused about that.

[01:21:12] Okay.

[01:21:12] So let's spoil the old one.

[01:21:14] Because like.

[01:21:14] I'm like.

[01:21:15] Hey.

[01:21:15] In the old one.

[01:21:16] Wasn't there like a thing with a cliff.

[01:21:17] And like a throwing knife.

[01:21:18] Where someone dies.

[01:21:19] That mattered.

[01:21:20] Or something.

[01:21:21] Yeah.

[01:21:21] Well no.

[01:21:22] So.

[01:21:22] Ghost gets killed by.

[01:21:24] So they're playing with.

[01:21:25] They have all the same characters.

[01:21:27] And it's like an alternate timeline.

[01:21:29] I haven't played the other two Modern Warfare games.

[01:21:31] Oh.

[01:21:31] So I don't really know.

[01:21:33] But like.

[01:21:34] There.

[01:21:34] I knew about this though.

[01:21:35] So like.

[01:21:36] They.

[01:21:36] They are.

[01:21:37] The same characters.

[01:21:38] But this is like a different telling.

[01:21:41] So it's like.

[01:21:41] You know how.

[01:21:42] I can't think of any reboots like that.

[01:21:45] Aren't there like.

[01:21:45] The Halloween movies.

[01:21:47] Or like.

[01:21:47] Freddy.

[01:21:48] Jason.

[01:21:49] They.

[01:21:49] Like those.

[01:21:50] Jason dies.

[01:21:51] Every movie.

[01:21:52] Like.

[01:21:53] And then they just retell the story.

[01:21:54] It's like a different Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

[01:21:56] That's the better example.

[01:21:58] Yeah.

[01:21:58] Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

[01:21:59] Anyway.

[01:22:00] Ghost.

[01:22:01] Is a character.

[01:22:02] Who is very popular.

[01:22:03] He gets betrayed.

[01:22:04] That's partially why he's so popular.

[01:22:05] Because it's sad.

[01:22:06] And then like.

[01:22:07] In this game.

[01:22:08] Yeah.

[01:22:08] They play around with that.

[01:22:09] Like.

[01:22:10] They.

[01:22:10] You go on the mission.

[01:22:12] Where ghost gets betrayed.

[01:22:13] And you're like.

[01:22:14] And.

[01:22:14] Price is like.

[01:22:15] Oh.

[01:22:16] My boys.

[01:22:17] I don't trust these boys.

[01:22:18] I don't trust.

[01:22:19] I don't trust them.

[01:22:20] Yeah.

[01:22:21] I fucking hated this game.

[01:22:26] They.

[01:22:26] Ghost go.

[01:22:27] They're like.

[01:22:28] They look at each other.

[01:22:29] And they look at the camera.

[01:22:30] And they're like.

[01:22:30] This is going to be a dangerous mission.

[01:22:32] And that like.

[01:22:33] Everyone's like.

[01:22:33] Oh no.

[01:22:34] This is where ghost dies.

[01:22:34] And then ghost doesn't die.

[01:22:36] Instead.

[01:22:37] Someone else dies later on.

[01:22:38] I don't know.

[01:22:39] How much we're spoiled.

[01:22:40] We're going to do.

[01:22:40] So on the steam grab.

[01:22:42] Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.

[01:22:44] In the direct sequel.

[01:22:45] To the record breaking.

[01:22:46] Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

[01:22:49] Captain Price.

[01:22:50] And Task Force 141.

[01:22:52] Face off against the ultimate threat.

[01:22:54] Not the actual ultimate threat.

[01:22:56] That they face.

[01:22:57] Just clearing it up here.

[01:22:59] Recent and all reviews.

[01:23:00] Are all reading.

[01:23:01] Mostly negative.

[01:23:02] Uh.

[01:23:03] Release date.

[01:23:04] For.

[01:23:04] Call of Duty.

[01:23:05] Not Call of Duty.

[01:23:06] 3.

[01:23:07] Is November 10th.

[01:23:08] 2023.

[01:23:10] Developer.

[01:23:11] Like five different companies.

[01:23:12] But it's like.

[01:23:13] Sledgehammer Games.

[01:23:13] Try art.

[01:23:14] Everybody else.

[01:23:15] Published by Activision.

[01:23:17] I just grabbed our Xbox times.

[01:23:20] Uh.

[01:23:20] Navy had 22 hours in this game.

[01:23:22] Which I assume.

[01:23:22] It's mostly multiplayer.

[01:23:23] Or.

[01:23:24] Warzone possibly.

[01:23:25] And I had 14 hours as well.

[01:23:27] I don't know how long the campaign actually is.

[01:23:29] But it felt.

[01:23:30] Shorter.

[01:23:31] And I thought that was going to be a bad thing.

[01:23:33] But it.

[01:23:33] It gets weird.

[01:23:34] Where it almost feels like.

[01:23:36] Like if we're going to go straight into campaign.

[01:23:37] Because I think that's going to be like the biggest thing.

[01:23:39] We're going to talk about here.

[01:23:40] Uh.

[01:23:40] It feels like.

[01:23:41] They were playing like a 14 mission campaign.

[01:23:44] But they just slapped it.

[01:23:45] And knocked like.

[01:23:46] Over half the missions out.

[01:23:48] And they're like.

[01:23:49] Just finish what we got.

[01:23:50] And we'll just do this.

[01:23:52] And we'll.

[01:23:52] We'll put cut scenes.

[01:23:54] To bridge everything together.

[01:23:55] But even the cut scenes feel.

[01:23:57] Weird.

[01:23:58] Like.

[01:23:59] The structure of this whole campaign is just odd.

[01:24:02] They're really long.

[01:24:03] The whole thing.

[01:24:04] I was.

[01:24:05] In my brain.

[01:24:06] When I was playing it.

[01:24:07] I was like.

[01:24:07] This is exactly what a kid.

[01:24:09] Thinks.

[01:24:09] Like.

[01:24:10] A Transformers movie.

[01:24:12] Would be like.

[01:24:13] You know what I mean.

[01:24:14] That's what it felt like too.

[01:24:15] Just like a Hollywood blockbuster movie.

[01:24:18] Okay.

[01:24:18] So it opens with a really badass intro.

[01:24:20] This.

[01:24:21] This intro is actually pretty cool.

[01:24:22] You're busting Markov.

[01:24:24] Who's.

[01:24:24] Apparently.

[01:24:25] I don't know.

[01:24:25] Was he in the other games?

[01:24:27] Yes.

[01:24:29] Probably.

[01:24:30] I think he's the bad guy.

[01:24:32] In the.

[01:24:32] In the modern warfare.

[01:24:33] The original ones also.

[01:24:34] Yeah.

[01:24:35] All right.

[01:24:35] So.

[01:24:35] Mr. Markov.

[01:24:36] We.

[01:24:37] He got locked up in the gulag.

[01:24:38] And we're busting him out.

[01:24:40] Really cool.

[01:24:40] We're the bad guys.

[01:24:42] We're like stormtroopers.

[01:24:42] Just capping everyone.

[01:24:44] A lot of murdering.

[01:24:46] We bust him out.

[01:24:47] It's great.

[01:24:48] And.

[01:24:48] He's actually pretty cute.

[01:24:50] I don't know if you.

[01:24:50] What you felt about him.

[01:24:51] Everybody's.

[01:24:52] Everybody's beautiful.

[01:24:53] Yeah.

[01:24:53] Every.

[01:24:54] Dude.

[01:24:54] Soap has the bluest eyes.

[01:24:56] Like.

[01:24:58] Hello handsome.

[01:25:00] Yeah.

[01:25:00] Like if you turn the lights out.

[01:25:01] You could see his eyes like a cat.

[01:25:03] It's so weird.

[01:25:05] And then you look over at like ghost.

[01:25:06] Who's the most edgiest mountain dew boy.

[01:25:08] With his like eye shadow on.

[01:25:11] Anyway.

[01:25:12] Just scaring menacingly at everyone.

[01:25:14] It's not about.

[01:25:15] It's not about ghost.

[01:25:16] But.

[01:25:16] We.

[01:25:17] We break Markov out.

[01:25:18] And he's like.

[01:25:19] All right boys.

[01:25:20] Let's get to terroristic.

[01:25:22] Because apparently Markov.

[01:25:23] Doesn't work for the Russians.

[01:25:24] Despite being a super.

[01:25:27] Russian patriot.

[01:25:28] Yeah.

[01:25:28] Or something.

[01:25:29] I was unclear on why he was here.

[01:25:31] And what he was doing.

[01:25:32] But he seems to just want to really be.

[01:25:34] A big terrorist.

[01:25:35] He's a hardcore nationalist.

[01:25:37] I think is what they say.

[01:25:39] Verbatim in the game sometimes.

[01:25:41] Yeah.

[01:25:41] Whatever that means.

[01:25:42] Like we have a lot of hardcore nationalists.

[01:25:44] But they.

[01:25:44] Like in our own country.

[01:25:45] That disagree with each other.

[01:25:47] The Republicans and the Democrats.

[01:25:48] You know.

[01:25:48] It's like.

[01:25:50] It doesn't make sense.

[01:25:51] I don't know what he's doing.

[01:25:53] They're trying to tell a story.

[01:25:54] I don't know if they're telling it good.

[01:25:56] But.

[01:25:56] They're saying a lot.

[01:25:57] But I don't understand it.

[01:25:58] But feelings on this first mission.

[01:26:00] It's called Operation 627.

[01:26:02] Breaking Markov out.

[01:26:03] Yeah.

[01:26:04] And it's supposed to be like a.

[01:26:05] Oh my God.

[01:26:06] We were Russians the entire time.

[01:26:08] That's not good.

[01:26:09] Those are the bad guys.

[01:26:11] Yeah.

[01:26:11] When he's like.

[01:26:12] Everyone's speaking.

[01:26:13] Everyone's speaking in English.

[01:26:14] And they're doing like.

[01:26:15] American military slang.

[01:26:16] Lingo.

[01:26:17] Whatever.

[01:26:17] I don't know.

[01:26:18] I don't know.

[01:26:18] But like it sounds like American.

[01:26:20] Lingo to me.

[01:26:21] And so I'm like.

[01:26:22] And then once you get to the Markov.

[01:26:23] And I'm like.

[01:26:24] That guy doesn't look.

[01:26:26] What are we doing here?

[01:26:27] And then the game is like.

[01:26:28] Oh.

[01:26:28] You just helped the bad guy escape.

[01:26:30] Even though.

[01:26:31] Yeah.

[01:26:31] I told you to do.

[01:26:32] It's like he.

[01:26:32] Markov comes over and he's like.

[01:26:34] Duh.

[01:26:34] It's Lasagna's brother.

[01:26:36] And I'm like.

[01:26:37] Oh no.

[01:26:39] He's Russian.

[01:26:40] Yeah.

[01:26:41] Russian music starts playing.

[01:26:42] As we get on the boats.

[01:26:43] And drive away.

[01:26:44] And like.

[01:26:45] These are the bad guys.

[01:26:48] All teams we have him.

[01:26:49] Moving in third.

[01:26:51] For me.

[01:26:52] It's a great honor.

[01:26:54] Commander Makar.

[01:26:58] Six years.

[01:26:59] 22 days.

[01:27:00] Four hours.

[01:27:02] I'm a big fan.

[01:27:04] If you control the world.

[01:27:06] This is our weapon.

[01:27:09] And we use it as a tool of war.

[01:27:11] To restore glory.

[01:27:13] To Russia.

[01:27:15] The real Russia.

[01:27:18] The West.

[01:27:20] They love their choices.

[01:27:24] Did they ever say.

[01:27:24] They were going to make Russia.

[01:27:25] Great again.

[01:27:26] Or anything like that.

[01:27:27] I don't think.

[01:27:27] They were like modern stuff.

[01:27:29] No.

[01:27:29] That would be pretty amazing.

[01:27:30] Yeah.

[01:27:31] So I.

[01:27:31] I.

[01:27:32] In all my time.

[01:27:33] I think I probably.

[01:27:34] Well over.

[01:27:35] At least 10 hours.

[01:27:36] But it's been all multiplayer.

[01:27:37] I think I played.

[01:27:38] Two.

[01:27:39] Of the.

[01:27:40] The co-op.

[01:27:40] Or of the actual missions.

[01:27:42] And I just checked.

[01:27:43] Right.

[01:27:44] Right out.

[01:27:44] I don't.

[01:27:45] I.

[01:27:45] We're going to take you on a ride then.

[01:27:47] I.

[01:27:48] Like I.

[01:27:49] If you're.

[01:27:49] If you're going deep on him.

[01:27:50] I'm a.

[01:27:51] I like this.

[01:27:52] Because all I know is that.

[01:27:54] From what I understand.

[01:27:54] There's just a lot of.

[01:27:55] Garbage design.

[01:27:56] That's all I know.

[01:27:57] That's basically.

[01:27:58] What Andrew and his brother.

[01:28:00] Explained to me.

[01:28:01] Is that there's just a lot of bad levels.

[01:28:03] And that's about it.

[01:28:06] Yes.

[01:28:07] Philip.

[01:28:07] What.

[01:28:08] Difficulty did you play on?

[01:28:09] Because I played on veteran.

[01:28:11] I just played on normal.

[01:28:11] Okay.

[01:28:11] This game on veteran.

[01:28:13] It extends the play time.

[01:28:14] Dramatically.

[01:28:15] Because.

[01:28:16] The.

[01:28:16] I die a lot on normal.

[01:28:18] That's the thing.

[01:28:19] Like.

[01:28:19] The enemies see you.

[01:28:21] Every.

[01:28:21] Always.

[01:28:22] And they're like.

[01:28:23] From across the map.

[01:28:24] And so you will just die sometimes.

[01:28:25] And I'm just like.

[01:28:26] Oh.

[01:28:26] Okay.

[01:28:27] And then sometimes.

[01:28:28] When you die.

[01:28:29] There hasn't been a checkpoint in a long time.

[01:28:31] So you have to like.

[01:28:32] Do.

[01:28:32] Redo.

[01:28:32] Like a long.

[01:28:33] Fucking arduous thing.

[01:28:35] Oh man.

[01:28:36] I don't recommend veteran man.

[01:28:37] I don't.

[01:28:39] All right.

[01:28:39] So.

[01:28:39] We cut to.

[01:28:41] Or is it.

[01:28:41] Kikistan.

[01:28:42] Or something.

[01:28:43] Middle eastern country.

[01:28:45] Yeah.

[01:28:45] It's just.

[01:28:48] Made something up.

[01:28:49] As a lady.

[01:28:51] Named Farrah.

[01:28:52] Who is a.

[01:28:52] Ultra nationalist.

[01:28:54] Of Urza Kikistan.

[01:28:57] Which by the way.

[01:28:58] I don't know about the other games.

[01:28:59] But is this like.

[01:28:59] The first time you play as a female.

[01:29:01] In Call of Duty.

[01:29:01] No.

[01:29:03] I feel like there was like a whole game.

[01:29:04] Where they had like a female on the cover.

[01:29:06] Holding a gun.

[01:29:07] Instead of guy with gun.

[01:29:08] Well that's this one.

[01:29:08] It was like an alternate cover.

[01:29:10] Was that this one?

[01:29:10] Yeah.

[01:29:11] This one's got.

[01:29:12] This one's at the.

[01:29:13] The female on the cover.

[01:29:15] Let's see.

[01:29:15] Call of Duty.

[01:29:17] Okay.

[01:29:18] Here's the first.

[01:29:18] Esports.

[01:29:19] Okay.

[01:29:19] I want the fucking.

[01:29:21] Why is this so hard to find?

[01:29:23] Oh no.

[01:29:24] One of the oldest games has a girl.

[01:29:26] You can play as.

[01:29:26] Vanguard.

[01:29:27] One of the.

[01:29:28] One of the multiple main characters.

[01:29:30] You play as female.

[01:29:30] Now.

[01:29:31] According to this person on Reddit.

[01:29:33] Good job Reddit.

[01:29:35] Oh.

[01:29:35] All right.

[01:29:36] So her play is Miss Farrah.

[01:29:38] Who apparently fought in a previous war.

[01:29:40] For Urza Kickstand.

[01:29:41] I don't know if that was.

[01:29:42] In the last games or something.

[01:29:44] But apparently she is one.

[01:29:45] Bad ass motherfucker.

[01:29:47] She meets up with like.

[01:29:49] Yeah.

[01:29:49] Dude.

[01:29:50] She's like.

[01:29:50] The funniest thing.

[01:29:52] Is like.

[01:29:52] So I just.

[01:29:53] I just started picking.

[01:29:54] Okay.

[01:29:54] So one thing I knew.

[01:29:55] Before going into this.

[01:29:56] Is I looked at like.

[01:29:57] The Xbox reviews.

[01:29:58] While it was downloading.

[01:29:59] And.

[01:29:59] It's like a million of.

[01:30:01] Like a million reviews of like.

[01:30:03] Woke trash.

[01:30:04] Liberal garbage.

[01:30:05] And I'm like.

[01:30:05] Okay.

[01:30:06] Cool.

[01:30:06] I've seen this before.

[01:30:07] I've seen this before.

[01:30:08] But now that poisoned my brain.

[01:30:10] When I went into this.

[01:30:11] And I just started noticing.

[01:30:12] Every time they complimented this girl.

[01:30:14] Which is.

[01:30:15] All.

[01:30:16] The time.

[01:30:17] It's all the time.

[01:30:18] There's this part.

[01:30:19] Later on.

[01:30:19] We'll talk about it.

[01:30:20] But the fucking most badass character.

[01:30:22] In the whole modern warfare.

[01:30:24] Is like.

[01:30:24] I'm too scared to go in there.

[01:30:26] And she's like.

[01:30:26] I will go in there.

[01:30:28] By myself.

[01:30:29] And then she.

[01:30:29] The whole time.

[01:30:30] She's like.

[01:30:30] I'll kick these people out of my country.

[01:30:32] They don't belong here.

[01:30:34] I'm just like.

[01:30:34] What is this?

[01:30:35] Nationalism.

[01:30:36] I'm going to do things to you.

[01:30:38] It's so funny.

[01:30:39] So.

[01:30:40] She's meeting up with another girl.

[01:30:42] Who's another leader.

[01:30:43] In the military organization.

[01:30:44] For Urza Kikistan.

[01:30:45] And.

[01:30:46] She reaches over.

[01:30:47] And she's like.

[01:30:49] Hey.

[01:30:49] You know.

[01:30:49] Make Urza Kikistan great again.

[01:30:51] And she's like.

[01:30:52] I will.

[01:30:53] And then.

[01:30:53] Surprise attack.

[01:30:54] By Kony 2012.

[01:30:56] Who just bust in.

[01:30:59] Which is a reference.

[01:31:00] For only people our age.

[01:31:02] I had forgotten about that.

[01:31:04] I don't even.

[01:31:05] Dude.

[01:31:06] I think about Kony 2012.

[01:31:07] So much.

[01:31:09] I think about it.

[01:31:10] Like at least three or four times a month.

[01:31:11] Oh yeah.

[01:31:12] Explain to them.

[01:31:12] Because I don't remember what it is.

[01:31:14] Okay.

[01:31:15] So.

[01:31:16] There's this guy named.

[01:31:17] I think it's Joseph Kody.

[01:31:19] I don't know.

[01:31:19] What his first name was.

[01:31:20] But he's this.

[01:31:22] Warlord in Africa.

[01:31:23] And yeah.

[01:31:23] He had like.

[01:31:24] Soldiers or whatever.

[01:31:25] There's this white guy.

[01:31:26] Who liked to dance.

[01:31:27] And he made this video.

[01:31:28] About Kody.

[01:31:29] And it went viral.

[01:31:31] It was one of the first viral videos ever.

[01:31:32] And then.

[01:31:33] He sent out.

[01:31:34] Like you can buy.

[01:31:35] Into this charity.

[01:31:35] And they'll send you a box.

[01:31:37] And you're supposed to go.

[01:31:38] Vandalize your city.

[01:31:39] On this one night.

[01:31:41] And everyone went out.

[01:31:42] And like put stickers.

[01:31:43] And graffiti.

[01:31:43] And shit.

[01:31:44] And then this guy got naked.

[01:31:45] And ran around out.

[01:31:46] In the streets.

[01:31:47] One time.

[01:31:48] Because he went crazy.

[01:31:50] That's true.

[01:31:51] Nothing I said was made up.

[01:31:53] Okay.

[01:31:53] Well I mean.

[01:31:54] That's Kony 2012.

[01:31:55] This is Kony.

[01:31:56] This is Kony.

[01:31:56] A paramilitary.

[01:31:57] Mercenary organization.

[01:31:58] Based out of Russia.

[01:32:00] Yes.

[01:32:01] And they're the bad guys.

[01:32:02] Throughout the whole game.

[01:32:03] Because it's not Russian.

[01:32:04] It's not the Russians.

[01:32:05] Or the Chinese.

[01:32:05] Or anything that are actually like bad.

[01:32:07] This isn't based on any nation.

[01:32:08] This is just a terrorist organization.

[01:32:12] Which is.

[01:32:13] I think that's how.

[01:32:15] The original modern warfare was.

[01:32:18] There were.

[01:32:19] Like you were fighting in the Middle East.

[01:32:20] But like you think.

[01:32:21] I don't think the Russians were like Russian military.

[01:32:24] I think they were.

[01:32:25] Oh man.

[01:32:25] Not digging deep.

[01:32:26] Into something I don't even really remember.

[01:32:28] Yeah.

[01:32:30] So.

[01:32:30] I guess it's like Call of Duty.

[01:32:32] Basically playing it safe.

[01:32:33] And like in the old games.

[01:32:34] It's easy to be like.

[01:32:35] The Nazis were the bad guys.

[01:32:37] Type deal.

[01:32:38] But here it's like.

[01:32:39] Look.

[01:32:39] We don't want to be like.

[01:32:40] The Russians are the bad guys here.

[01:32:42] We can be like.

[01:32:42] It's terrorist organization.

[01:32:44] Are the bad guys.

[01:32:45] Even though in this.

[01:32:46] They highlight.

[01:32:46] The American military.

[01:32:48] As bad guys.

[01:32:49] Yeah.

[01:32:49] The Americans are the bad guys.

[01:32:51] Like a lot of.

[01:32:52] In a lot of different situations.

[01:32:54] Like the Olympics.

[01:32:55] The Russians got banned.

[01:32:56] So that's just the Russian Olympic Committee.

[01:32:58] We're just some Russian athletes.

[01:33:00] Yeah.

[01:33:00] But we're not Russian.

[01:33:02] No.

[01:33:03] Just ignore where we're from.

[01:33:05] Anyways.

[01:33:05] Back to Farrah.

[01:33:06] Their whole country is now.

[01:33:08] Basically back from being.

[01:33:10] Destroyed by war or whatever.

[01:33:12] And so they got a lot of self-defense type stuff.

[01:33:14] As in.

[01:33:15] They have.

[01:33:16] Huge missiles.

[01:33:18] Like ballistic missiles.

[01:33:19] That they just have stored.

[01:33:21] Out in their little military base shipyard thing.

[01:33:24] Kony attacks.

[01:33:25] And steals the missiles.

[01:33:26] And we are too late to stop them.

[01:33:28] This is going to be a reoccurring theme.

[01:33:29] Where we're always too late to stop them.

[01:33:32] Despite killing.

[01:33:33] Hundreds.

[01:33:34] Of them.

[01:33:35] Yeah.

[01:33:35] I don't know.

[01:33:36] They've got a really.

[01:33:37] It's not Russia.

[01:33:39] This is a private organization.

[01:33:41] Like.

[01:33:41] That has hundreds and hundreds of disposable soldiers.

[01:33:44] To be sitting around in a bunker.

[01:33:46] That's about to blow up from gas.

[01:33:48] So there is a suicide mission.

[01:33:49] They're going to die.

[01:33:50] They're going to die there.

[01:33:51] That's their job.

[01:33:52] We do find out.

[01:33:53] That they are suicidally loyal to Markov.

[01:33:56] Yes.

[01:33:57] So.

[01:33:57] The guy.

[01:33:58] He's beautiful.

[01:33:58] He's very cute.

[01:33:59] He's so cute.

[01:34:00] Yeah.

[01:34:01] Anyways.

[01:34:02] Fair fails.

[01:34:03] The missiles get taken away.

[01:34:05] And.

[01:34:05] Instead of reporting them stolen.

[01:34:07] She says she's going to get them back herself.

[01:34:09] So she reaches out to the old gang.

[01:34:12] Task force.

[01:34:14] Whatever they are.

[01:34:15] Are they British?

[01:34:17] I don't know who they represent.

[01:34:18] Are they an independent Avengers team or something?

[01:34:22] Because that's what they feel like.

[01:34:23] You think it's special forces.

[01:34:25] Like British special forces.

[01:34:26] And I don't know why.

[01:34:27] Yeah.

[01:34:27] It's always them.

[01:34:28] I don't know.

[01:34:28] That doesn't make any sense.

[01:34:29] It's only them.

[01:34:30] There's like four dudes in this organization.

[01:34:33] It is the Avengers.

[01:34:34] Yeah.

[01:34:35] They are just.

[01:34:35] God.

[01:34:36] They are like superheroes.

[01:34:38] And this put me off so much.

[01:34:39] Because like I feel like Call of Duty 4.

[01:34:41] It was like.

[01:34:41] Hey there's multiple different.

[01:34:43] Like you're just one soldier and part of a company.

[01:34:45] And like platoons.

[01:34:45] Going like deep through fields and stuff like that.

[01:34:48] Like actually.

[01:34:49] Call of Duty 4 is like segmented.

[01:34:50] Because you're changing locations.

[01:34:52] But you're different people.

[01:34:53] And in this game.

[01:34:54] You're like the same couple of people.

[01:34:56] In many different.

[01:34:57] So if you Captain America Iron Man.

[01:34:59] They all go out together.

[01:35:00] Sometimes.

[01:35:01] Yeah.

[01:35:01] Black Widow.

[01:35:02] Yeah.

[01:35:02] Black Widow's there.

[01:35:03] Yeah.

[01:35:03] It's doing spy stuff.

[01:35:05] It's great.

[01:35:06] So Farrah reaches out to the bros.

[01:35:08] And is like hey.

[01:35:09] This isn't good.

[01:35:10] Meanwhile Task Force finds out that.

[01:35:12] Kony's after some gas.

[01:35:14] That is being developed in Russia.

[01:35:17] Or somewhere.

[01:35:17] I don't even remember where it's being developed.

[01:35:19] But they're after this terrible super searing gas.

[01:35:22] That will melt the skin off your bones.

[01:35:24] And we're like oh we got to stop him.

[01:35:25] Sadly we get there too late.

[01:35:27] Once again.

[01:35:28] And they get away with the gas.

[01:35:30] And we're like oh no.

[01:35:31] Not again.

[01:35:32] They got away.

[01:35:33] Now this group has missiles and gas.

[01:35:36] What's going to happen?

[01:35:37] What are they going to do?

[01:35:38] Are they going to strap it on the front of the missile?

[01:35:41] Like you know what in Saint's Row with the C4?

[01:35:44] They do.

[01:35:45] They do exactly that.

[01:35:47] Farrah's like oh no guys.

[01:35:48] Those are our missiles.

[01:35:50] They got our license plate numbers on them.

[01:35:51] And everyone's going to say we're terrorists if we don't do something about it.

[01:35:56] The whole thing just screams.

[01:35:58] Do you know what this whole thing is like?

[01:36:00] 9-11 was an inside job.

[01:36:02] And we're just going to tell that story over and over again in this game.

[01:36:05] About how these people were.

[01:36:08] It's like it's exactly that.

[01:36:10] It's always being pinned on this one chick that you're playing.

[01:36:13] Who's like the super soldier I was referring to earlier.

[01:36:16] That's way too badass.

[01:36:18] More badass than Ghost.

[01:36:19] More badass than Price.

[01:36:20] She's crazy badass.

[01:36:22] She's so badass that the entire Russian paramilitary.

[01:36:26] Not affiliated with Russia by the way.

[01:36:28] But they're all Russians.

[01:36:30] All of those people want to pin everything on her.

[01:36:33] And her underlings.

[01:36:34] Not the fucking Avengers that are running around trying to stop them.

[01:36:38] No we're just trying to pin some stuff on the Avengers at one point.

[01:36:42] Like the American General does.

[01:36:45] Anyways.

[01:36:46] Oh yeah the American General does.

[01:36:48] The American General is like the worst.

[01:36:49] This happens in the original Modern Warfare also.

[01:36:52] But like the American General is a piece of shit also.

[01:36:55] But he's like the most evil corrupt piece of shit imaginable in this game.

[01:37:00] Insane evil.

[01:37:01] Insane evil.

[01:37:02] He looks evil.

[01:37:03] He laughs evil.

[01:37:04] Everything about him.

[01:37:07] Next mission payload.

[01:37:08] We know where the missiles are.

[01:37:10] We know where the sights are.

[01:37:11] We are on our way to stop them from being launched.

[01:37:14] We're going to save everyone.

[01:37:16] We were too late.

[01:37:17] Again.

[01:37:17] Once again we are too late.

[01:37:19] The missiles get launched.

[01:37:20] We stopped like one of like four missiles.

[01:37:23] And cut to another mission going on at the same time.

[01:37:26] Where we're playing as an old lady soldier.

[01:37:29] Old lady British soldier.

[01:37:31] Who goes undercover in a Russian.

[01:37:34] An actual Russian military base.

[01:37:36] And just walks in.

[01:37:38] She just.

[01:37:38] Yeah.

[01:37:39] Walks in.

[01:37:40] In a helicopter.

[01:37:41] She's dressed up.

[01:37:42] She has a hat dude.

[01:37:43] She has a good hat.

[01:37:44] She has a hat.

[01:37:45] She has a name tag.

[01:37:45] She just walks into this Russian air base.

[01:37:48] In middle of Russia.

[01:37:51] She got to.

[01:37:52] She got the pass card.

[01:37:54] She kills a guy.

[01:37:55] Just murders a guy.

[01:37:56] In a storage closet.

[01:37:58] Takes his key card.

[01:37:59] And then goes in to meet with her.

[01:38:01] Like her mole.

[01:38:03] That she has in there.

[01:38:04] Who's like.

[01:38:05] Hey.

[01:38:05] Bad stuff is happening my dude.

[01:38:07] And we're like.

[01:38:08] Oh no.

[01:38:09] I can't believe it.

[01:38:09] And then Price gets on the phone.

[01:38:11] And he's like.

[01:38:12] We failed to stop the missiles.

[01:38:13] It's targeting your location.

[01:38:15] Oh my god dude.

[01:38:17] Okay.

[01:38:17] So gas starts showing up from everywhere.

[01:38:19] And the dude.

[01:38:20] Who has the.

[01:38:20] The nerve.

[01:38:21] To be like.

[01:38:22] We can't be seen together.

[01:38:23] We have to leave separately.

[01:38:24] And I'm like.

[01:38:25] By who?

[01:38:26] Everyone's dying.

[01:38:26] Also.

[01:38:28] No one noticed me the first time I came through.

[01:38:30] So I mean.

[01:38:30] Why would it matter if anyone saw me this time?

[01:38:32] Because.

[01:38:33] Clearly.

[01:38:34] I look just like you guys.

[01:38:35] Like even when you pass the Russians.

[01:38:37] They in English say like.

[01:38:39] She.

[01:38:40] There's a new girl.

[01:38:41] Like.

[01:38:42] Yeah.

[01:38:44] That new girl's following around our fucking.

[01:38:46] Our prime minister guy.

[01:38:48] I don't.

[01:38:49] You just walk up the stairs after him.

[01:38:51] And then he dies and no one says anything.

[01:38:53] Okay.

[01:38:54] It's fucking insane.

[01:38:56] Not to mention.

[01:38:56] Like.

[01:38:57] I feel like this is.

[01:38:58] Some form of war crime.

[01:39:00] That.

[01:39:00] Where the British are like.

[01:39:01] Wearing Russian uniforms.

[01:39:03] To sneak in and assassinate their officers.

[01:39:06] Like.

[01:39:06] It's different.

[01:39:07] It's espionage.

[01:39:08] We're not at war.

[01:39:09] You can't commit a war crime if we're not at war.

[01:39:10] Philip.

[01:39:11] My God.

[01:39:12] This is just an act of war.

[01:39:13] As someone in the Air Force too.

[01:39:15] Like.

[01:39:16] Just imagine.

[01:39:17] How hard would it be.

[01:39:18] Dude.

[01:39:18] It would be.

[01:39:19] It would be harder to sneak into the fucking post office I work at.

[01:39:22] Than the fucking military base that we fucking suck into.

[01:39:26] I just.

[01:39:28] Oh man.

[01:39:29] It's because you're not a super soldier.

[01:39:31] That's.

[01:39:31] That's really.

[01:39:32] You're right.

[01:39:33] If you're.

[01:39:34] You're not Black Widow.

[01:39:35] Exactly.

[01:39:36] All right.

[01:39:36] She escapes.

[01:39:38] And we.

[01:39:39] We gained some information.

[01:39:40] I don't remember what information we gained.

[01:39:42] But we.

[01:39:43] Oh.

[01:39:43] That was it.

[01:39:43] We got confirmation.

[01:39:45] That there's no connection between the Kremlin.

[01:39:47] And Markov.

[01:39:48] So Markov is 100%.

[01:39:50] A solo agent.

[01:39:52] Russia.

[01:39:52] Can still buy this game.

[01:39:54] Like.

[01:39:54] It is.

[01:39:55] Very clear.

[01:39:56] They.

[01:39:56] They stamp down.

[01:39:58] That hey.

[01:39:59] The Russians aren't the bad guys in this.

[01:40:03] Okay.

[01:40:03] We cut to.

[01:40:04] Basically.

[01:40:05] The no Russian level.

[01:40:06] In this game.

[01:40:07] No Russian.

[01:40:07] In the first game.

[01:40:08] Being.

[01:40:09] Where you take part in a terrorist attack.

[01:40:11] In an airport.

[01:40:12] Shooting civilians.

[01:40:13] Or not shooting civilians.

[01:40:14] That's an option.

[01:40:15] You don't have to pull the trigger.

[01:40:17] Anyways.

[01:40:18] But you can't.

[01:40:18] Yeah.

[01:40:18] But then everyone's going to stare at you.

[01:40:20] Like.

[01:40:20] What are you doing?

[01:40:21] Why aren't you shooting?

[01:40:22] Why aren't you shooting the civilians?

[01:40:24] We have a different character.

[01:40:25] That's not Farah.

[01:40:26] Who was a part of the.

[01:40:28] Urzakukistan military.

[01:40:29] Back in the day.

[01:40:31] Markov jumps on the plane.

[01:40:33] Raps her.

[01:40:33] Straps a suicide vest to her.

[01:40:35] And then kicks her back with the passengers.

[01:40:37] So that they see.

[01:40:38] Everything short of saying.

[01:40:40] A la Aqabar.

[01:40:41] And like.

[01:40:41] It's like.

[01:40:42] It's like the most stereotypical.

[01:40:43] Plane hijacking.

[01:40:45] Middle Eastern.

[01:40:45] Like thing.

[01:40:46] That they possibly could have done.

[01:40:48] But it's a setup.

[01:40:49] It's a setup.

[01:40:50] The Russians did it.

[01:40:51] So this is fake.

[01:40:52] But I don't know why.

[01:40:53] Because it's like.

[01:40:54] Why?

[01:40:55] Who is this for?

[01:40:56] Who is the Atrix?

[01:40:59] Like what are you doing this for?

[01:41:00] Can you use cell phones in the fucking air?

[01:41:03] You will.

[01:41:04] I.

[01:41:05] I think.

[01:41:06] I mean.

[01:41:06] They tell you to put it in airplane mode.

[01:41:07] But I think you technically can.

[01:41:09] Yes.

[01:41:10] That's.

[01:41:10] Well.

[01:41:10] Why?

[01:41:11] Why though?

[01:41:12] Why do I?

[01:41:12] Why do you have to put it in airplane mode?

[01:41:13] Why is airplane mode?

[01:41:14] So here's what I have been told through my time in aviation.

[01:41:19] Basically when you have 230 people with cell phones all on one aircraft.

[01:41:24] All not on airplane mode.

[01:41:26] Repeatedly trying to ping cell phone towers to share information.

[01:41:30] That could cause some interference with your high frequency radios.

[01:41:34] But I don't think it's actually strong enough to.

[01:41:37] Because the aircraft radios are way more powerful than the cell phone communications.

[01:41:41] But maybe there could possibly some interference with something on the aircraft.

[01:41:47] They just don't want to chance it.

[01:41:47] Oh my god.

[01:41:48] It's like a.

[01:41:48] Yeah.

[01:41:48] I was going to say.

[01:41:49] It's like a.

[01:41:49] If we can eliminate it to zero type of thing.

[01:41:52] Yeah.

[01:41:53] Did you guys see that fucking plane that went down in Brazil?

[01:41:56] No.

[01:41:56] You think it was cell phones?

[01:41:57] That did that?

[01:41:59] There's so many people on cell phones.

[01:42:01] We're sharing memes in Brazil about fucking monkeys on it.

[01:42:03] Monkey.

[01:42:04] Monkey.

[01:42:05] Monkey.

[01:42:05] Monkey.

[01:42:05] Monkey.

[01:42:05] Monkey.

[01:42:05] Monkey.

[01:42:05] Monkey.

[01:42:07] Oh.

[01:42:08] Monkey.

[01:42:09] Monkey.

[01:42:09] Oh.

[01:42:11] Which in this game a lot of people die as well.

[01:42:13] Because they're like.

[01:42:14] Oh my god.

[01:42:14] A Middle Eastern woman is blowing up our plane.

[01:42:17] And they all take.

[01:42:18] Instantly pull out their phones and start sharing it to TikTok.

[01:42:21] So that everyone.

[01:42:22] Yeah.

[01:42:23] All of China knows you're here.

[01:42:24] Yeah.

[01:42:25] Dude.

[01:42:26] It's like that lady who said something about AIDS in Africa.

[01:42:28] And when she got off the plane she was already canceled.

[01:42:31] You know what I'm talking about?

[01:42:33] No.

[01:42:33] There's a whole book about that I think.

[01:42:35] There's a book about it now?

[01:42:36] I bet.

[01:42:37] I mean actually.

[01:42:37] That should be studied.

[01:42:38] That's.

[01:42:38] This is a.

[01:42:40] Social media is a.

[01:42:41] Is a beast.

[01:42:42] All right.

[01:42:43] So.

[01:42:43] That was it.

[01:42:44] The plane went down.

[01:42:45] And of course Price is like.

[01:42:47] We got to get to the bottom of this.

[01:42:49] Whatever.

[01:42:50] I can't do a Price impression.

[01:42:51] But.

[01:42:53] Basically he's like.

[01:42:54] We got to go check out the crash.

[01:42:55] And get there.

[01:42:55] Because.

[01:42:57] The actual international organization.

[01:42:59] That's supposed to go check it out.

[01:43:00] If they're going to get there.

[01:43:01] We're not going to get any more of our clues.

[01:43:03] And we need the clues.

[01:43:04] And Markov is already there.

[01:43:06] Or somehow.

[01:43:06] You know.

[01:43:06] Like they already have the crash site.

[01:43:08] So that means they were in on it.

[01:43:09] Well.

[01:43:10] They were on the plane.

[01:43:11] Yeah.

[01:43:11] They were on the plane.

[01:43:12] They crashed the plane.

[01:43:13] They did that.

[01:43:14] But also.

[01:43:15] It's like.

[01:43:15] You know who else is also there?

[01:43:16] The most badass.

[01:43:18] Like.

[01:43:18] Fuck.

[01:43:18] This.

[01:43:19] Urzakistan's fucking strongest soldier.

[01:43:21] Is also chilling.

[01:43:23] Right underneath where the plane crashed.

[01:43:24] She happens to be there.

[01:43:25] Also.

[01:43:26] Ghost is there.

[01:43:27] I think.

[01:43:27] Or someone.

[01:43:28] Someone else is there.

[01:43:29] It's like.

[01:43:29] Convenient.

[01:43:31] Very convenient.

[01:43:33] Ugh.

[01:43:34] Ugh.

[01:43:34] Yeah.

[01:43:34] It's sad.

[01:43:35] So she's there with.

[01:43:36] And she's got the gear to hack cell phones.

[01:43:39] And take all their data off of them.

[01:43:41] With the flush of those.

[01:43:42] She goes out there and starts ripping data from cell phones.

[01:43:44] Using her little like.

[01:43:45] iPad.

[01:43:47] And.

[01:43:47] She gets all the videos.

[01:43:49] And she's like.

[01:43:49] Oh my god.

[01:43:50] It's Samantha.

[01:43:51] Samantha would never become a suicide bomber.

[01:43:53] This is.

[01:43:53] Yeah.

[01:43:54] You know what it's like.

[01:43:55] It's like.

[01:43:55] What is it called?

[01:43:56] Small universe syndrome.

[01:43:57] In Star Wars.

[01:43:58] Yeah.

[01:43:59] Everything is around the fucking.

[01:44:01] Five people.

[01:44:02] It's like what this game is.

[01:44:03] Yeah.

[01:44:04] So we find out like.

[01:44:05] Oh.

[01:44:05] I can't believe this happened.

[01:44:06] She was my.

[01:44:06] My great aunt.

[01:44:08] Whatever.

[01:44:08] So.

[01:44:09] We get the black box.

[01:44:11] I can't remember what the blacks.

[01:44:13] Getting the black box does for us.

[01:44:15] Oh no.

[01:44:15] We.

[01:44:16] I think.

[01:44:16] It's like.

[01:44:17] We just.

[01:44:18] Before the Russians could.

[01:44:20] You're not the Russians.

[01:44:20] The Markov could use it or something.

[01:44:22] As evidence.

[01:44:23] Going to use it as evidence that.

[01:44:25] The.

[01:44:27] Iraq did 9-11 or whatever.

[01:44:29] Yeah.

[01:44:29] Or as a kick a stand.

[01:44:31] All right.

[01:44:31] So.

[01:44:32] We cut back.

[01:44:33] To.

[01:44:34] Price standing with.

[01:44:36] Like after.

[01:44:36] You know.

[01:44:37] All the people died or whatever.

[01:44:38] Price is like.

[01:44:38] I sure killed him when I had the chance.

[01:44:41] And then we have a.

[01:44:43] As we go.

[01:44:43] Yeah.

[01:44:45] And I'm like.

[01:44:46] Are you doing this right now?

[01:44:48] Had him right in our fucking hands.

[01:44:51] We should have killed him when we had the chance.

[01:44:54] What stopped you?

[01:44:55] And we have a different terrorist attack.

[01:45:05] On a stadium in an airport.

[01:45:07] Where we go with soap.

[01:45:09] Ghost.

[01:45:11] And Price.

[01:45:12] To take down Markov.

[01:45:13] The boys.

[01:45:14] The boys were back in town.

[01:45:16] We were riding in a car.

[01:45:17] In a Humvee.

[01:45:17] Saving each other's lives.

[01:45:18] Back in town.

[01:45:19] Saving lives.

[01:45:20] Yeah.

[01:45:21] We did.

[01:45:21] This is one of the worst missions.

[01:45:23] And you know how I know it.

[01:45:25] So something must have happened in QA.

[01:45:27] Where the QA protesters were like.

[01:45:28] This fucking sucks.

[01:45:29] This is painful.

[01:45:30] Because if you shoot a civilian on accident.

[01:45:32] They.

[01:45:33] It will reset you.

[01:45:34] So like.

[01:45:34] You have to go back to the last checkpoint.

[01:45:36] There is a checkpoint.

[01:45:37] Every fucking three steps.

[01:45:39] So like.

[01:45:39] No matter what.

[01:45:40] You never go back more than like a minute.

[01:45:42] In the past.

[01:45:43] And the reason why.

[01:45:44] Is because.

[01:45:45] I don't know why this is.

[01:45:47] But.

[01:45:47] The AI is designed.

[01:45:49] As soon as you start shooting.

[01:45:50] To zag.

[01:45:51] Right in front of your bullets.

[01:45:52] And die.

[01:45:53] Like instantly.

[01:45:54] Every single time.

[01:45:54] It's like impossible on veteran dude.

[01:45:57] Because you also die in like.

[01:45:59] One or two shots.

[01:45:59] So it's like.

[01:46:00] You're taking shots like.

[01:46:01] And just hoping.

[01:46:02] Into the smoke.

[01:46:03] And just hoping.

[01:46:03] That you kill the guy.

[01:46:04] That's like fucking shooting at you.

[01:46:06] This all takes place.

[01:46:07] In a stadium.

[01:46:09] And it's like.

[01:46:10] Whoa.

[01:46:10] This is probably a cool location.

[01:46:12] But.

[01:46:13] We never see the stadium.

[01:46:14] After one tiny strip.

[01:46:16] Then it's nothing but like.

[01:46:17] Little tunnels.

[01:46:18] Underneath the stadium.

[01:46:19] And so it's like.

[01:46:21] Is that the war zone level?

[01:46:22] It looks like a war zone level.

[01:46:24] I bet it probably is.

[01:46:25] It's just probably a rip.

[01:46:26] For like a city.

[01:46:27] From the war zone.

[01:46:28] Because yeah.

[01:46:29] There's a stadium.

[01:46:30] In war zone.

[01:46:30] That's like.

[01:46:31] I know one of the main spots.

[01:46:32] And I.

[01:46:33] Said I.

[01:46:34] I thought there was one mission.

[01:46:35] That's like.

[01:46:36] Outright like a rip off of.

[01:46:38] War zone.

[01:46:39] Isn't there?

[01:46:40] There's a lot that are very war zone-y.

[01:46:43] Yeah.

[01:46:43] Well half of the missions are like war zone-y missions.

[01:46:45] And this is the thing too.

[01:46:47] So I.

[01:46:48] Playing on veteran.

[01:46:49] There's a lot of issues.

[01:46:50] But like.

[01:46:50] Those missions at first.

[01:46:52] I was like.

[01:46:52] These are like.

[01:46:53] This is lazy.

[01:46:53] This is just war zone.

[01:46:54] But.

[01:46:55] Once you get into like.

[01:46:56] Some of these railroad-y missions.

[01:46:58] That are awful.

[01:46:59] It's like dude.

[01:47:00] I miss.

[01:47:01] The other missions.

[01:47:02] Because then I could just.

[01:47:03] If I died.

[01:47:04] I could approach it in a different way.

[01:47:06] And be like.

[01:47:06] Okay.

[01:47:06] Maybe I could go that way.

[01:47:07] And it's not so bad.

[01:47:08] But like.

[01:47:09] In these railroading ones.

[01:47:10] You are just getting meat grinded.

[01:47:12] Like you just.

[01:47:13] Are just waiting until the game allows you to kill the guys.

[01:47:16] In the.

[01:47:16] Uh.

[01:47:17] In the next room.

[01:47:18] We get Markov.

[01:47:20] We were extracting with him.

[01:47:21] And we're like.

[01:47:21] Okay.

[01:47:22] You know.

[01:47:22] You killed a lot of people.

[01:47:23] But you're going down.

[01:47:24] Because at this point.

[01:47:25] He hasn't attacked the airfield.

[01:47:26] And apparently.

[01:47:27] This was all just a big setup.

[01:47:29] To distract task force.

[01:47:31] Whatever.

[01:47:31] So that they could blow up the.

[01:47:34] The airport.

[01:47:35] I guess.

[01:47:36] No.

[01:47:36] It was the.

[01:47:37] They blew up the stadium.

[01:47:39] Yeah.

[01:47:39] They blew up the stadium.

[01:47:40] Where Markov was actually at.

[01:47:42] And then they blew up the airport.

[01:47:43] After he got captured.

[01:47:47] I don't remember that.

[01:47:48] And then.

[01:47:49] Soap.

[01:47:49] Is like.

[01:47:50] You son of a bitch.

[01:47:51] I'll kill you right now.

[01:47:52] And he like.

[01:47:52] Puts a gun against his head.

[01:47:54] And.

[01:47:55] Uh.

[01:47:55] Price is like.

[01:47:56] My boy.

[01:47:57] Don't do it.

[01:47:57] No.

[01:47:57] Don't do it right now.

[01:47:59] We're going to fuck.

[01:47:59] We can't do it.

[01:48:00] It's bad.

[01:48:01] It's a war crime.

[01:48:02] Yeah.

[01:48:03] It's not a war.

[01:48:05] Question for you.

[01:48:06] What time is it?

[01:48:08] What the hell do you care what time it is?

[01:48:11] Timing is everything, General.

[01:48:13] I think we'll all remember this moment.

[01:48:16] Some.

[01:48:18] More fondly than others.

[01:48:20] He's off target.

[01:48:28] You son of a bitch.

[01:48:33] I'll blow your fucking brains.

[01:48:34] Don't do it.

[01:48:36] Don't do it.

[01:48:36] Do it.

[01:48:36] Come on.

[01:48:37] You shut your mouth.

[01:48:38] Let me finish him.

[01:48:39] John.

[01:48:39] We have him.

[01:48:40] He's in custody.

[01:48:41] He's not going anywhere.

[01:48:44] Stand down, Sergeant.

[01:48:46] Anyways.

[01:48:48] Soap's like.

[01:48:49] Ah, fine.

[01:48:49] I won't do it.

[01:48:50] And then he cuts back.

[01:48:52] He's like.

[01:48:52] I should have let you kill them when we had the chance.

[01:48:54] It's a literal family guy cutaway, basically.

[01:48:57] But it's a whole mission.

[01:48:59] It's so stupid because like at this point, the Avengers have had like zero character development.

[01:49:03] Besides.

[01:49:04] Farrah is a badass.

[01:49:06] Captain Price is sad.

[01:49:08] Ghost is just moody, you know, monster drink energy boy in the corner.

[01:49:14] I think Gaz is just kind of there doing like tech stuff or something.

[01:49:17] And then Soap is just angry.

[01:49:19] Just trying to kill everyone.

[01:49:21] He's like.

[01:49:22] I'll fucking kill you.

[01:49:23] Like every two steps.

[01:49:24] Yeah.

[01:49:25] Soap needs to chill.

[01:49:26] Like he's like a killing monster.

[01:49:28] Like that's their whole personality through the whole game.

[01:49:30] No one.

[01:49:31] I would be a killing monster too if I lost every time I fucking tried to go do something.

[01:49:36] They lose always.

[01:49:37] Every fight they lose.

[01:49:38] Okay.

[01:49:38] Next step.

[01:49:40] Oligarch.

[01:49:40] This is another one like Far Cry mission where they just drop you on like an area and they're

[01:49:43] like, hey, you know, all you have is a rusty knife.

[01:49:46] Go out there, kill a guy and then take his gun and go to town or whatever.

[01:49:51] And the whole point is you're basically taking out a super rich lady that's supposedly funding

[01:49:56] Markov.

[01:49:57] But of course, we get there too late.

[01:50:00] Wait, she already spent a lot of money again?

[01:50:02] No.

[01:50:02] We're too late again.

[01:50:04] And then he's like, oh yeah, we're not too late because now we have all your bank records.

[01:50:09] And it says that you bought a whole military HQ in Russia, a whole apartment complex and

[01:50:15] gave it to Kony.

[01:50:16] So we got you.

[01:50:17] We got you.

[01:50:17] You know, the funny thing was is that like, so she's like their finance person, right?

[01:50:20] And so she's like, I will never budge.

[01:50:23] And then the lady on the comms is like, oh, tell her that we got her bank information

[01:50:28] too.

[01:50:28] And it looks like she's about to make a charitable donation to the queen.

[01:50:32] And then she's like, no, not my money.

[01:50:34] I'll sell them out now.

[01:50:35] Like that's like the fucking, and then she gets mad.

[01:50:38] She's like, yo, they're going to kill you as you walk away.

[01:50:42] Yeah.

[01:50:43] I hate this game, dude.

[01:50:45] It's so bad.

[01:50:46] And next one, we're like, okay, so we know they bought this headquarters.

[01:50:48] I bet Markov's there.

[01:50:50] Bing, bang, boom.

[01:50:51] We pop in and get him, right?

[01:50:53] No, we still have a couple of missions to go.

[01:50:54] So we get there to the high rise.

[01:50:56] And right before we get there, there's a cut scene of Markov talking to his less handsome

[01:51:01] lieutenant, giving him a little kiss, going to be like, be good, baby boy.

[01:51:05] I'll miss you.

[01:51:06] And he like leaves.

[01:51:07] And he's like, most Russian looking guy I've ever seen in my life.

[01:51:11] You see the little screenshot up in the notes?

[01:51:12] Yeah.

[01:51:14] So we go down there and we kidnap this guy.

[01:51:18] That's it.

[01:51:19] We murder so many of them.

[01:51:21] We're playing as Gaz.

[01:51:22] Eventually, Price airdrops in to help us.

[01:51:25] And we kidnap this guy.

[01:51:26] And we're like, tell us where your boss is.

[01:51:29] And he's like, I'll never betray him.

[01:51:30] I love him too much.

[01:51:32] But he ends up giving us information about a prison transport or something like that.

[01:51:37] And we're like, well, we'll use that for some reason.

[01:51:41] I don't know.

[01:51:41] It's got to be important.

[01:51:43] It's a high value prisoner being transported.

[01:51:46] And so we're like, great.

[01:51:47] Let's go do it.

[01:51:48] Cut to the frozen tundra of Siberia where the American general who's talked us over in

[01:51:53] the other games.

[01:51:55] What's up?

[01:51:55] Yeah, which we have no context for also.

[01:51:58] But like.

[01:51:59] He also looks like a knockoff Bruce Willis.

[01:52:02] He does look like Bruce Willis in the screenshot.

[01:52:04] But here's the thing.

[01:52:06] Like this.

[01:52:07] Okay.

[01:52:07] I can't get distracted by this.

[01:52:09] Okay.

[01:52:09] So this is the guy in the old modern warfare who kills ghosts.

[01:52:13] Right.

[01:52:13] So the whole time you're like waiting for that to happen.

[01:52:16] But it's like he's like the most evil motherfucker.

[01:52:19] Also, you blew it up.

[01:52:21] The cars fell into the ocean.

[01:52:22] It's cold.

[01:52:23] He's got fucking like overalls on.

[01:52:25] Yeah.

[01:52:27] There's there's a lot going on in this fucking mission.

[01:52:29] Yeah.

[01:52:29] So we're in Siberia.

[01:52:31] He falls in the freezing water.

[01:52:33] This is the place.

[01:52:35] Siberia, the place where the Russians exile bad people.

[01:52:39] Like because it's so shitty there.

[01:52:41] Yeah.

[01:52:42] No one lives there.

[01:52:43] Oh, God.

[01:52:44] So there's this guy.

[01:52:45] We save him and we're like, oh, man, why would you save this piece of shit?

[01:52:48] We don't actually need him.

[01:52:49] He's not worth anything to us.

[01:52:51] And then he's like, if you save me, I can.

[01:52:54] Oh, because he has like a country accent.

[01:52:55] He's like, if you save me, I can validate your claims and say that fair is not an actual

[01:53:00] terrorist because I know all about Coney 2012.

[01:53:03] And we're like, really?

[01:53:05] You know all about Coney.

[01:53:06] So this will be perfect.

[01:53:07] We'll get you out.

[01:53:07] Give this man a thermal.

[01:53:09] They give him the lightest horse jacket possible.

[01:53:13] They give him a thermal and a pistol.

[01:53:15] And the whole time he's like, oh, I'm so cold.

[01:53:19] I'm very cold.

[01:53:20] Can we get out of here?

[01:53:22] We get him out and he's like, you know, Markov is up to something.

[01:53:25] He's going to blow up this dam in.

[01:53:28] I don't even know where it's called Gora Dam in Verdance, Kastavikia.

[01:53:34] That's Warzone as well.

[01:53:36] This fucking mission is a Warzone mission also.

[01:53:39] But OK.

[01:53:40] But before that, the frozen tundra is highly frustrating because you have to deal with these

[01:53:46] snipers that have armor that one shot you.

[01:53:49] There are.

[01:53:50] So you have to shoot them twice and they don't show up on thermals.

[01:53:54] So like you will walk into an area and instantly die.

[01:53:57] And you're like, OK, I think that might have come from the northeastern direction.

[01:54:01] And so like you're that's you're juggling that the whole time.

[01:54:04] Then you go to this mission right here.

[01:54:05] This mission doesn't have a fucking checkpoint in it until you finish the first half of it.

[01:54:11] Like you have to do the first half of the mission before you get a fucking checkpoint.

[01:54:15] And on.

[01:54:16] Oh, that's how high rise is, too.

[01:54:17] I don't remember.

[01:54:18] The high rise one.

[01:54:19] I thought that was my favorite mission, actually.

[01:54:22] But like I didn't die that many times because it's literally just going from room to

[01:54:26] room hallway to hallway just clearing shit out.

[01:54:28] It's like Max Payne.

[01:54:29] It's like not that big of a deal.

[01:54:30] But in this fucking in the Gora Dam, the moment you're made, a million people descend

[01:54:36] like fucking generations of Russians descend on you.

[01:54:41] And it's impossible.

[01:54:42] And so.

[01:54:43] Oh, my God.

[01:54:45] You have to disarm all of these bombs like they're trying to blow up.

[01:54:48] I don't know what they're trying to do, man.

[01:54:50] And it's going to flood and destroy a whole bunch of cities.

[01:54:53] It's a terrorist attack again.

[01:54:56] But we get there on time this time.

[01:54:58] We managed to disarm the bombs and save everyone.

[01:55:00] And we're like, great.

[01:55:02] The general gave us good information on this one.

[01:55:04] We can trust him.

[01:55:05] And the general says, I know where Markov is.

[01:55:08] He's at this Soviet air base that's unused by the Russians.

[01:55:12] We're going to go in there and use all the force of the American military to make sure no

[01:55:16] one leaves alive.

[01:55:17] And so they call in the gunships and, you know, fortunate sun starts playing and you have a gunship level like in Call 54 and 4-2 where, you know, you just fly around in a C-130 just shooting people.

[01:55:31] Not bad.

[01:55:32] Not a bad gunship level.

[01:55:34] Yeah.

[01:55:36] Very simple.

[01:55:37] There's nothing really to add there.

[01:55:38] And the task force is on the ground or the Avengers or whatever.

[01:55:42] And they roll in and they're like, you know, level it.

[01:55:44] And you just like completely nuke like the whole base, just blowing up every hanger and everything.

[01:55:48] Which everything survived.

[01:55:50] Like structurally is fine.

[01:55:51] Like the whole time I noticed.

[01:55:53] You blow some holes in some walls.

[01:55:55] Yeah.

[01:55:56] And the general's like, Markov's dead, boys.

[01:55:58] You don't need a body.

[01:55:59] And then Price is like, you know, there's something about this guy.

[01:56:02] I don't think he's really dead since we don't have a body.

[01:56:05] But, you know, it's whatever.

[01:56:06] It'll be okay.

[01:56:08] And then we have a big cut scene of basically the general being interviewed in a tribunal.

[01:56:14] And he's like, Farrah is not a terrorist and her country is completely innocent of all crimes.

[01:56:20] And they're like, nice.

[01:56:21] But he has his own lackey who's like, hey, man, the general told me to do some illegal shit.

[01:56:26] And the general's like, no, I didn't tell him to do some illegal shit.

[01:56:29] But I promise I'm not lying about the Farrah thing because they believe him.

[01:56:33] Because they believe him about the Middle Eastern people not being terrorists.

[01:56:36] But then they start calling him a liar over an argument he's having with his underling about possible war crimes.

[01:56:45] And corruption in the military.

[01:56:47] You can't do war crimes.

[01:56:48] That's bad.

[01:56:49] War crimes is bad.

[01:56:50] Yeah.

[01:56:51] Oh, God.

[01:56:52] But anyways, Farrah's good to go.

[01:56:53] So apparently that was enough.

[01:56:56] Thank God.

[01:56:57] To clear her whole country.

[01:56:58] Yeah.

[01:57:00] That's how social media works, right?

[01:57:02] Because one person didn't do it.

[01:57:03] Everyone's okay.

[01:57:04] When the truth comes out, everyone just accepts it, right?

[01:57:07] Oh, for that too.

[01:57:08] That's also a thing that happens all the time.

[01:57:09] From a known criminal.

[01:57:12] Anyways.

[01:57:13] Final level of the game, though.

[01:57:15] Trojan horse.

[01:57:16] Markov lived, guys.

[01:57:18] Turns out the Americans did not get him.

[01:57:21] Does this feel like the final level when you were playing it?

[01:57:23] Did you expect it to be the final level?

[01:57:25] I knew it was in the level list.

[01:57:27] So I knew this was the final level.

[01:57:29] Oh, yeah.

[01:57:30] The whole premise is you're in jolly old UK next to Big Ben and all that.

[01:57:36] And there's a hacker.

[01:57:38] And Markov is meeting up with a hacker to get some kind of hacking program that he uses to hack the subway.

[01:57:47] You get to pet a dog.

[01:57:48] You do get to pet the dog.

[01:57:49] You can pet the dog.

[01:57:50] In fact, you are required to pet the dog to finish the law.

[01:57:54] Oh, are you required to do that?

[01:57:55] I didn't know.

[01:57:56] I was just doing everything as I walked by.

[01:57:58] That's her.

[01:57:59] The hacker is tying her shoe in the screenshot.

[01:58:01] If you do not pet the dog, she turns around and sees you and runs away.

[01:58:05] And she's like, look at that person not petting a dog.

[01:58:07] He's always a weirdo.

[01:58:09] Meanwhile, you play as soap in this part, I think.

[01:58:13] You switch between a bunch of people, yeah.

[01:58:16] Okay, yeah, you're soap in this part.

[01:58:17] So you are the most military motherfucker.

[01:58:22] Like, God, with your high mohawk and super big boy.

[01:58:28] Anyways, so you are very clearly military.

[01:58:31] Whatever.

[01:58:32] So you blend in.

[01:58:34] You realize who has the key.

[01:58:38] They take it down the subway.

[01:58:39] You call the police.

[01:58:40] You price.

[01:58:42] I think everyone shows up.

[01:58:44] They call them the whole boys.

[01:58:45] All the boys are back in town.

[01:58:47] You go in there and they are going wild with the trains.

[01:58:50] And they're planting dirty bombs in the subway.

[01:58:53] I don't get it.

[01:58:55] I guess it's just another terrorist attack.

[01:58:57] Because they're like, oh man, it's underneath the English Channel.

[01:59:00] So it's going to hit France and England, I guess.

[01:59:04] Where does the English Channel go?

[01:59:05] I don't know.

[01:59:06] Yeah.

[01:59:06] Think about what they're trying to say about society.

[01:59:09] I don't get it.

[01:59:12] Terrorism.

[01:59:14] Terrorism bad.

[01:59:15] Terrorism bad.

[01:59:15] Anyways, we fight our way in.

[01:59:17] We go to defuse the bomb.

[01:59:18] Soap is defusing it.

[01:59:20] Major spoilers ahead.

[01:59:23] Soap is like, all right, all you're out to do is cut the red wire.

[01:59:26] We're going to kill this bastard when we get him.

[01:59:29] And Price is like, all right, let's do it.

[01:59:31] And right whenever we're about to finish cutting the red wire and give the Covenant back their

[01:59:35] bomb, surprise, Markov shows up.

[01:59:38] And he gets in a wrestling match with Soap and shoots him in the head and kills Soap right

[01:59:44] in front of you.

[01:59:45] R.I.P.

[01:59:48] Is it R.I.P.?

[01:59:49] Like, I did not care.

[01:59:55] Yeah.

[01:59:56] And then Price is like, oh, no, we got to.

[01:59:58] And then we like stabs Markov in the leg or something.

[02:00:01] And Markov is like, I'll get you next time and limps away.

[02:00:06] And fucking we defuse the bomb with gas or something.

[02:00:09] And what is Markov?

[02:00:10] The fucking Joker?

[02:00:12] Dude, he's he is the fucking Joker.

[02:00:14] He just always gets away.

[02:00:15] The West will get you and your little dog, too.

[02:00:18] And he just gets away, even though, like, we're always too late to stop him.

[02:00:22] And then the one time we actually do encounter him, it's like he came back to get us like

[02:00:28] we should have been scared of him.

[02:00:31] Anyways, he gets away.

[02:00:33] We defuse the bomb.

[02:00:36] We have a funeral.

[02:00:37] Everybody cries.

[02:00:38] Everyone cries.

[02:00:39] And we're like standing on the cliff in England.

[02:00:42] And Price is like, who is a good boy, a good soldier who answered the call of

[02:00:47] duty?

[02:00:48] And then Ghost looks over and like nods where he's wearing like his his formal skull mask

[02:00:54] opposed to his like Battlefield one.

[02:00:59] Is he wearing his mask?

[02:01:01] Oh, I mean, yeah, they don't.

[02:01:03] It's not like a formal thing, but it's so funny.

[02:01:05] And then it cuts to fucking credits.

[02:01:07] And I was like, what?

[02:01:10] Markov gets away.

[02:01:12] Come back next time.

[02:01:13] And maybe we'll see how the story works out.

[02:01:15] They really, really, really went for that like Avengers.

[02:01:19] The one before Endgame.

[02:01:21] What is it called?

[02:01:22] The one where they lose?

[02:01:23] Did we just lose?

[02:01:24] Did we just lose?

[02:01:25] That one.

[02:01:26] Yeah, they did that.

[02:01:29] This is a thing too.

[02:01:30] So something about these like military games that it's like you you get the schadenfreude a

[02:01:36] little bit where it's like you want the bad thing to happen because you want to see

[02:01:39] it happen.

[02:01:39] You want to see what happens.

[02:01:40] But then it's like it turns your characters kind of incompetent, right?

[02:01:43] Because you're like always failing.

[02:01:45] You're but you always want to see the gas attack happen.

[02:01:48] Like if you're if you're the bad assest, most awesome military stopping each of these things,

[02:01:53] it's like, oh, there's a nuke about to go off.

[02:01:55] But all of the memorable things in all of the Call of Duty games are when the bad things

[02:01:59] happen.

[02:02:00] So it's like pieces that matter.

[02:02:02] Yeah.

[02:02:02] And so it's like the bomb attack, the gas attack in the UK, the fucking nuke, the no

[02:02:07] Russian.

[02:02:08] It's like all of those things like are the bad guys winning.

[02:02:11] So now this game is just literally a bunch of unrelated set pieces of the bad guys winning

[02:02:19] over and over again.

[02:02:20] And then they were like, OK, now, right?

[02:02:22] Like we need to use these war zone assets.

[02:02:24] So make things blow up inside of these war zone maps and then string a narrative through

[02:02:29] that.

[02:02:30] And that's what it feels like.

[02:02:31] And someone needs to die.

[02:02:33] But not Ghost.

[02:02:35] He's too popular.

[02:02:36] Not Thera either because she's our representation that matters.

[02:02:39] She's very, she's very strong.

[02:02:41] There's one point where Price, our most badass spec ops, badass motherfucker who's out, you

[02:02:47] know, he's he's scoping out.

[02:02:49] He's undercover.

[02:02:50] He knows there's bad dudes in the area.

[02:02:53] She sneaks up behind him because she's that good and is like, you're getting sloppy, old

[02:02:57] man.

[02:02:58] And he's like, whoa, don't scare me like that.

[02:03:00] I can hear you coming.

[02:03:01] You're too good.

[02:03:02] Literally when that happened, I was just like the time for the youth is now, old man.

[02:03:07] I said that all out as I was watching this cutscene.

[02:03:11] Oh, God.

[02:03:12] There was another point.

[02:03:13] It's so funny.

[02:03:13] Some of these character moments are just so terrible.

[02:03:16] Like there's one where it's like they're talking to ghosts.

[02:03:18] He's like, why do you wear the mask?

[02:03:20] And he's like to hide my face.

[02:03:24] That did make me laugh.

[02:03:26] It's supposed to be stupid.

[02:03:28] That one was, it's supposed to be stupid.

[02:03:30] But there's like, he's being mean.

[02:03:32] That's the only joke in like the whole game.

[02:03:34] Every other scene is like soap going.

[02:03:36] God damn it, motherfucker.

[02:03:38] We didn't, we failed him.

[02:03:39] He's gonna kill all these people.

[02:03:41] I can't allow this.

[02:03:43] I should have never let him live.

[02:03:44] This is all my fault.

[02:03:45] Soap, I'm terrible.

[02:03:46] I deserve to die.

[02:03:47] Which is amazing because he has this like character arc.

[02:03:50] He's clearly on and then he's just like dead.

[02:03:53] Yeah, well, dad, that's the thing.

[02:03:54] You can redeem yourself.

[02:03:55] That's what I'm saying.

[02:03:56] This is the whole Gears of War thing.

[02:03:58] We're fucking talking about Gears of War 5 now.

[02:04:00] Where you're killing someone before their character arc is resolved.

[02:04:03] And I fucking hate it.

[02:04:04] It doesn't make any narrative sense.

[02:04:06] I could see that now.

[02:04:08] If soap is, if his issue is he chose not to kill Markov when he had the chance.

[02:04:13] He chose to follow orders.

[02:04:14] It could have been interesting when he chooses not to follow orders or something.

[02:04:19] But instead, he dies before it matters.

[02:04:21] Before anything matters.

[02:04:23] He dies before anything matters.

[02:04:24] He dies on a fucking subway.

[02:04:26] And it's just a random, it's just another one of those random string of fucking bombs in a place that you go and stop.

[02:04:33] It's like every mission.

[02:04:34] All right, Keith.

[02:04:35] We've been, you know, going hard for a minute.

[02:04:38] Is there anything we can clarify for you that you might not have understood from the story?

[02:04:43] That you want us to elaborate on?

[02:04:44] You might have missed some points that matter.

[02:04:46] Yeah.

[02:04:47] I mean, do you ever show up on time?

[02:04:49] I guess.

[02:04:49] Are you always too late?

[02:04:51] Or they're all, the enemy has already set up a massive base with turrets and everything else.

[02:04:57] You're never on time.

[02:04:58] The amount of defense just in the Nagora Dam mission.

[02:05:02] They have so many entrenchments and stivers in place for all these bomb placements for an area they plan on blowing up.

[02:05:10] They have so many soldiers in place for this.

[02:05:14] If you don't show up, does everyone just die then, I guess?

[02:05:18] I guess so.

[02:05:19] If you don't show up to kill, it's like a time travel thing.

[02:05:22] If you don't show up to kill them, they're going to die anyway.

[02:05:24] So it doesn't really matter.

[02:05:25] It seems like, well, I assume they leave.

[02:05:28] I don't know.

[02:05:29] But they got to stay there just in case you do show up.

[02:05:31] Yeah, I guess.

[02:05:32] Yeah, and stop it one second before it blows up or whatever.

[02:05:36] That's the only one you stop, I think.

[02:05:38] That's actually the, well, I mean, technically you stopped the one in the UK also.

[02:05:43] Yeah, but Soap dies, so you let him get away.

[02:05:45] You let Mark Yov get away.

[02:05:47] Which is the, it points out, like, you are failing this whole time, but this is the first actual repercussion, like, that you've ever experienced.

[02:05:55] In the campaign.

[02:05:56] Is that finally, like, actually something bad happened.

[02:05:59] And then the game just ends.

[02:06:01] Like that.

[02:06:02] Like, it's, it's so shitty.

[02:06:05] It's so bad.

[02:06:06] This is just, I will say, this is how I want all Call of Duty narratives given to me from now on.

[02:06:11] I don't want to play them.

[02:06:12] I just need to hear you guys just, just realize.

[02:06:15] Getting progressively more angry.

[02:06:17] I feel like it's never been good.

[02:06:18] I like this.

[02:06:19] Yeah, it's a fucking Modern Warfare 2 and 1 are great.

[02:06:23] See, I think that was the last one I played.

[02:06:25] I also gave up on Call of Duty for probably five to seven years now.

[02:06:31] You should play Cold War.

[02:06:33] I think that might be the last one I played was Cold War.

[02:06:36] That actually might be the last one.

[02:06:38] I think when I was on your show, I was telling you to play Cold War then as well.

[02:06:42] But yeah.

[02:06:44] Cold War is pretty good.

[02:06:45] The thing is though, what if, what if this is what the kids want these days?

[02:06:49] What if we're not the target demographic anymore?

[02:06:52] Well, so I think that is.

[02:06:53] The kids want the Avengers.

[02:06:54] I was going to say that, well, there's that.

[02:06:55] And like, I think too, we were talking about a little bit when we, when we covered Call of Duty was that like,

[02:07:01] I think they built this on the premise of Warzone because that's how people are coming into Call of Duty now.

[02:07:06] Because it's, that's been your free option into it.

[02:07:09] It just felt like they had to just layer Warzone into the whole thing.

[02:07:13] And they didn't really care about a story.

[02:07:15] Where in the past, it was like the Call of Duty series, they may have mattered.

[02:07:19] Or the, the, the campaigns may have mattered for gameplay.

[02:07:22] This is like, we want people to feel comfortable stepping into this, knowing what they're doing.

[02:07:27] And everyone who knows it historically, they're just not going to play this or they don't care, I guess.

[02:07:32] Well, every other mission is a Warzone, Warzone mission or whatever.

[02:07:36] It's literally like, go pick up your, the Intel scavenge.

[02:07:40] Yeah, loadouts on, on the map.

[02:07:42] There's like different upgrades you can get.

[02:07:44] Probably the funniest one is the flak vest upgrade.

[02:07:46] Because it's like, as somebody that's actually, you know, has worn those vests.

[02:07:52] They're heavy.

[02:07:53] Putting, putting more vests on.

[02:07:55] Putting more plates.

[02:07:57] Yeah.

[02:07:58] Like, I've got three plates now.

[02:08:00] Like, let's see the bullet get through this.

[02:08:02] You're like, you're so thick if you try to wear three plates or three vests at once.

[02:08:06] Like.

[02:08:07] Yeah, I've got one in the other room that I just, I, I put on every now and then I grab a coat hanger and I pretend I'm in the Navy SEALs or something.

[02:08:14] Then I'll clear my own house.

[02:08:16] Yeah, it just feels like they've given up on the whole, the whole thing in, in so many ways.

[02:08:22] And all they care about is their, their Warzone and, you know, uh, cosmetic dollars.

[02:08:29] Yeah.

[02:08:29] It seems like, it almost feels like they've like going in like, Hey, it's all supposed to be pizzazz and flash now.

[02:08:34] We don't really need realism anymore.

[02:08:36] Not that they were always that realistic, but at least like they would kind of try like the sniper missions or something in the old games.

[02:08:43] Those were always so cool.

[02:08:44] Nothing like that in this one.

[02:08:46] Uh, they try to do that with the fair of mission after the plane goes down, but it's awful.

[02:08:51] I mean, I don't know how you experienced this, but on veteran, it is a nightmare because you just die again.

[02:08:57] Like it's, it's the same problem throughout the whole campaign, but like you, you will die instantly on veteran, but it's dark now.

[02:09:03] So like you never see who kills you.

[02:09:06] So it's like a terrible, uh, it's like, I was even talking to friend of the pod JP about this and.

[02:09:14] He's ex army medic.

[02:09:16] Uh, I'm air force X, uh, crew chief for C one thirties.

[02:09:20] Uh, now I'm a male man.

[02:09:22] Systems, uh, right up there with them.

[02:09:24] Yeah.

[02:09:25] Right up there.

[02:09:25] Then we were, I was talking about like, man, and it's like 99% of the time.

[02:09:29] No one wears a helmet on your fucking.

[02:09:33] Dude.

[02:09:35] If it's so poor, a helmet in the last mission, maybe he would have fucking survived.

[02:09:38] Dude.

[02:09:40] He shoots them with like, he has like a nine milliliter.

[02:09:43] Yeah, dude.

[02:09:45] The soap's head.

[02:09:46] It probably would not have the helmet might've not probably not have stopped it, honestly, but it could have deflected a little bit of the force into not going through a skull.

[02:09:57] But he didn't look as cool with the helmet on.

[02:10:00] So you can't see his cool haircut.

[02:10:01] It's harder to see his beautiful eyes.

[02:10:04] Yeah.

[02:10:05] Yeah.

[02:10:05] He's, he's like a pretty Thor.

[02:10:07] Almost.

[02:10:07] Thor's already pretty, but you know.

[02:10:09] I mean, yeah, they might as well just give him actual superpowers at this point.

[02:10:13] Dude.

[02:10:14] Yeah, they can fly.

[02:10:15] They're like Resident Evil characters where they're just unstoppable killing machines.

[02:10:19] Like you sneak up behind people, fucking grab a knife, jam it in their cooch, lift them off the ground, and then slit them from gooch to throat, and then throws them down.

[02:10:28] And Bryce is like, good kill.

[02:10:30] You know, from like a sniper position.

[02:10:32] He's like, good kill.

[02:10:33] Nobody saw that.

[02:10:34] Nobody heard anything.

[02:10:36] Very subtle.

[02:10:37] Very subtle.

[02:10:38] Yeah.

[02:10:38] Like, thanks, Bryce.

[02:10:39] Yeah.

[02:10:40] There's this one mission.

[02:10:41] It's the high rise mission where the first person you see is there's an elevator shaft and you go, ah, strap, strap, grab, fucking throw it.

[02:10:48] And you throw him into the elevator shaft.

[02:10:49] He's like, the whole time he's like, ah, ah.

[02:10:51] And like, you definitely would hear that up the elevator shaft where you come from.

[02:10:57] But it doesn't matter.

[02:10:58] Nothing matters.

[02:10:59] It's funny.

[02:10:59] It was dumb.
