escribed they feared uh the asia so much that not only were they hiding in yotanheim and they got rid of all of the ways to travel there they also hid themselves into marbles so that even if uh odin or the asia were to find them they'd only find corpses i i don't uh part of that is to do with them seeing their own futures and a lot of the giants would follow it to the fatigue and then i guess that they also thought that was a good hiding place not sure how i feel about the whole marble thing seems really weird sad yeah that you could do that uh yeah not just that he does a thing that you do anyway but it's also just like i don't know if someone was like quick let's all go into marbles i probably like i don't know man i mean i guess as a last like have we exhausted all other options well i don't even know if i would prefer to die or not as in as opposed to going to marble what is it like to be in a marble i i don't think they have a really talk i don't know is it just sitting there waiting or is it like going on pause like which is what i assume it is because you can't like you don't have a i assume you need like some sort of a body to experience things but the body needs the soul to like have a person you know there so i assume you just you know i would intuitively sort of think that if you don't have a body and you can't sense things you just it's like you don't exist and when you get a body it's like no time has passed you just you stopped experiencing things and now you've started again that time in between it's like when you're in like deep sleep and you know you don't really have a perception of time so much i would guess but i'm not sure how that works of course oh here we go this walking simulator but should the kratos we fell in love with and turned him into a pacifist a pacifist really you passed a fist across your face who tolerates being disrespected and threatened the old kratos would never try to reason with someone like oh dan well thanks for the super chat brainlet i mean come on man he isn't the old kratos that's kind of the point of the last 50 fucking hours at the end of level three he's not that guy anymore he's desperately trying not to be that guy i don't know if he knew this kratos in the first three games isn't really a good guy kind of an asshole um you just kill us people are in his way like isn't that cool oh no he kills kratos in this way brother like i don't know how you play it he will grab people like i i feel like an alien sometimes i'm like it's so awful that you could just kill fleeing civilians for their health orbs and other people like isn't that so badass it's like what no what's happening why uh um yeah you know the sea the the sea captain guy boat captain you know whatever but um i love it's like we fell in love with that kratos like i wouldn't say i loved that kratos that said i thought he was hilarious uh i would happily play as him you know if they had kept it going he was just a crazy psycho killed all the doors because yeah that game might have been fun sure um i'm glad they didn't do that though glad they went with what they went with and then like you know a pacifist he's not a pacifist my duty kills a shit ton of things throughout 2018 and ragnarok he's killing everything basically they even comment on it like yeah he kills but he's sad about it now who cares what a crowd that sort of shit like it's obviously poking fun of the fact that really at a broad sense he's still killing everything but we've got lots of reason and that's kind of what these games are trying to do um and then tolerates being disrespected and threatened does everyone forget he threatens to kill odin in that scene i guess they and odin threatens to kill atreus if if kratos does anything it's the same argument um synthetic man made it's like why would kratos endanger his son that's like his primary motivation is to not do that yep and then like later that night he has like an existential crisis because of the fact that his son is coming so close to death when it was like phased primary wish that he simply take care of his son and then the old kratos would never try and reason with someone like odin it's just like yep he's a better creator i got him yeah the combat sucks too the old kratos had a lot more depth than this one and he only killed people who got in his way he wanted to spare hercules he only killed people who got in his way and somebody didn't play the games and pay attention holy shit you and i know that's horse shit and i haven't played them absolutely what about that guy that you just killed when he's climbing out of out of the underworld he just like stabs him in the back for some reason no he was in his way friggy he was just in his way and then he kicks into his death when he's already up he's already up there and fine he just kills that guy he was in his way you didn't need to use his body for a lever and they were in the way those screaming civilians were running for their lives they were in the way also in the city that he was just because someone's in your way it's not an excuse like there is yeah well you're right that is doing the good for their life Thor's design is damn near perfectly accurate to mythos just a bit fatter Thor doesn't wear armor he wears pelts and bone this Thor's design character are fantastic i thought he was awesome yeah fun fact mamiya is voiced by senator armstrong i think people have like really yeah that guy does a shit ton of voice acting it's unreal mamiya how do we know you're telling the truth my sources i made it the fuck up Norse fun fact mamiya is actually Odin's blood uncle so is Loki yeah see there's gonna be some family tree elements that they're not gonna be able to maintain uh fake deaths aren't gaming stuff like this is for people who don't actually like video games but visual stories don't need a story to throw a ball um i why are you doing the thing where it's like you can't like video games and also like the the fake out Thor death thing i don't know yeah because i wasn't exactly convinced i understand a lot of the arguments people give but i don't i don't find them that compelling i certainly likewise i can see it would be cool if they could be propped by actually dying as well that he would do that but it seems like if you actually die in that scene you just die but if you you know you get to that point in the fight that's when that prox is like a bit more dynamism to it would be really awesome but the idea that it happens and that's bad for gaming i i'd need to be convinced of that a problem with Theo's idea what if you don't lose to Thor what then do i just not get a cutscene or what well yeah i think Theo would say that's fine you just don't get it exactly which to be fair i'm not against either i don't think that's yeah i don't think that's like an argument for why that should have not been an option at all there are a lot of things that can be missed in the game via playing better or worse um i tried to highlight one of them with that that dialogue that comes out of Freya depending on how you fight the ancient i like stuff like that i think it's cool uh qte's on pc are cancer when they tell you to press w instead of up arrow symbol or when they tell you to look for k or something like that yeah the issue with quick time events on pc is that you have a lot more options for buttons and on a controller your fingers are you're pretty much touching every button at the same time pretty much um so when they throw uh you know w e r t f c v x z spacebar all the you can't there there needs to be that like it just doesn't quite it doesn't work because you're too worried about now you're looking down at all of the things and you're not paying attention whereas like on a controller right you see the button you know exactly where it is boom you press it but on a keyboard and a mouse that might not necessarily be the case you'd have to look down to make sure you're pressing you know the right this or the right that if they choose oddly positioned buttons um but yeah you got to be more careful about that on a on a keyboard where you have one really not a fan of qte's generally yeah i'm not a generally not a fan of them there is a time and place for them that i often feel goes um unrespected let's say more base takes from fio people dad well why do you think we have him randomly came across a video from over a year ago which predicted odin would be tier and his reasons were fairly accurate well good for him that was a pretty cool prediction uh thaw killing and bringing craters back does also fit the story with odin telling thaw to not kill him in their fight well like you said uh i come if it was covered but obviously we're supposed to interpret it as a sort of like he got knocked out and then he tapped him and that took him back in they took that opportunity to show us a screen we're familiar with death and then they undid it to create that moment in in players to be like oh which um yeah i think it's a neat little creative use of the player character connection in video games that i that i appreciate and i think it's kind of neat and it's ultimately it's a very minor thing but i i think it sort of gets you know it keeps you on your toes and it was it was a fun little clever thing that they did and i liked it and i wouldn't lack of a better explanation by the way it's a moment for players to feel like the game reached out outside of its bounds for a moment there and i know i feel something a little different dearly it treats you the game it's the game kind of addressing the player in a way which can be good and can be terrible but i think for something like that it's nice i wouldn't be opposed to seeing more of that sort of thing in the future dearly it looks like shme from hook yeah he kind of did umo teeth throughout how kratos has mamiya as the other side of his coin turning his back on someone when he feels his own words inadequate could just be just a natural result of where he is but um yeah not not are they suggesting that like when kratos doesn't exactly know what to say and he can turn his back as a result that mamiya can almost act as they uh back up mamiya can then sort of uh try to chip in because i'm already thinking like that happens i think with tier kratos turns his back on him and then mamiya starts talking to him so maybe i mean they said motifs so i'm going to think about it devil fruit of the week meaning you will lose the ability to swim i believe if you accept this trade the ability is change any body part into any weapon assuming you can change it back and it's yeah painless then yeah sure that's pretty cool i mean i be honest with you i don't even need swimming then because i can turn one of my arms or legs into like a thruster or a propeller something like that yeah i guess i could count as a weapon would that count as a weapon uh a propeller you can definitely use that as a weapon to use it as a weapon or that is well that's kind of where i'm sort of going with this line of thinking right because i was about to say well an axe an axe is like clearly a weapon but it also is a tool right but a sword is it's just a weapon it's not like they're not good tools generally um a knife like that's a tool but it's also a weapon so i see what you say like where it is um in the spirit of the question if it's only some you can only turn into things that are primarily understood to be weapons we could probably still find something that would help with swimming right um i'm just trying to think what i don't know like primarily sort of weapons that you could turn yourself into but that would help repel you underwater maybe if you turned your arm into a wooden shield it would float the wooden shield wouldn't count as a weapon would it um it depends whether you kind of shield this weapon i probably would shields have an offensive they're used in tandem with weapons they're only generally used for a combat situation shields can have spikes and stuff on them to help only bucklers would certainly count as like weapons in a way um and how they're used i would say shields would count as weapon all right i was more so thinking about like generally in games there yeah what is the limit here is it only what humanity has come up with or is it like we have sci-fi weapons oh yeah i spoke you have like laser guns and stuff like that because even anything with like a propellant force underwater would then push you up right and forward depending on uh yes it would if you shot below you with enough uh yeah force the um basically yes to this deal i'm i'm i'm more than happy as long as i have control over it and it's painless and i can switch it back then i don't see why i wouldn't yeah i think for me i'm also in that category of might as well because i just never swim uh so i would almost by default get more use out of this though i normally have a weapon with me anyway by default but i guess it can't it can't hurt to be like oh and especially when we're talking about the axe or the knife thing like that's just a generally useful thing you could have on you at all times but you could also just carry a knife with you at all times as i do but i don't know i guess so i mean i guess it would just be fun and cool so i yeah i guess for that virtue alone it probably is worth it the excitement in his voice before he punched that chest is such a neat little moment i think they're talking about the boulder fight because uh i think anyway i'm assuming they're not talking about Thor punched the chest because i think um boulder punches Kratos in the chest and uh he's happy when he's hit by uh Kratos because i think he's he's always looking for an opportunity to feel something and i think he thinks that if i find an opponent strong enough to punch me hard enough that i'll actually feel pain again which um i have to imagine is a real thing right if you were numb to everything in life the idea of being able to feel pain might actually seem like a a reprieve oh we you know we had a character in hillhouse who was kind of the inverse of that she was she she would always feel things from other people she she constantly had emotions and things so feeling the inverse of that was just like unfathomably uncomfortable feeling nothing whatsoever absolutely nothing oh fuck you reminded me that payoff is so strong because isn't it good at first you believe like because she feels everything and she touches a corpse and uh she's like terrified and so when you're first going through the show you assume she saw something horrifying right like a monster yeah that's what you assume yeah how she died but then we find out later on that what she felt was absolute nothingness and it was like it was just horrifying experiences ever and that show was good what a great ending pity about the ending but man still worth um this just this says or a fear of death i'm not sure what it's connected to or what the question is sort of but all right yeah sorry i just i don't know yeah god damn it moly you forgot about crimbus i blame mootl i also hate summer fring fringulius you hate summer fringy is that what you're saying oh they're saying i hate summer too because fringy mentioned disdain for some portions of summer uh ironically this coming from a caribbean islander i didn't forget about christmas it's just that this year it was impossible to get things ready for uh you know if silent night were out that would be really fun to just watch for christmas thing and then i could maybe get that edited in time but oh my god i've got so much going on and metal's coming over soon so i was hoping to just maybe have a couple days where i don't have to you know edit all day but hey uh next year hopefully we'll we'll have a system set up that more efab movies are coming out i still want to get to the point where we have that coming out more regularly i do too um winter kings versus summer cucks death to the sun whoa death to the sun we kind of need it it's uh you know you know it's super useful for some stuff so we'll keep the sun the air is so hot everything burns fringy as he talks about the mythical australia hi rags hello yeah that's what it's like it hasn't been too hot this year though fortunately but summer's not apparently partway into it so i could get worse and it almost certainly will feast fringy together we can kill the sun and chill well i don't know if i want to get rid of it i just i just wish he would let me chill out a little bit and uh in the summer months just just dial it back just a little bit all right but my message last time i misunderstood the argument anyway beer's use of odd instruments like the accordion or the hurdy-gurdy will always impress me also i just adore the hurdy-gurdy hurdy-gurdy uh his work on ragnarok makes it so that i will like be singing his praises as a musician for a long time even if he made like several soundtracks that were worthless after it the it's a goldy when rings of power too electric boogaloo comes out and it's just got the most bog standard mediocre forgettable music in it i'll be like you know it doesn't matter it doesn't take away what he's done ratatosca's missing an eye it's odin i think um we're supposed to infer the because ratatosca said he was um he was near death when he reached igdrasil an igdrasil turned him into what he is now i think we're supposed to assume that it was like he lost his eye when attacked by something that he ran to to igdrasil i i guess we'd find a mole from mythology it's dangerous world out there for squirrel rags i mean that was literally the lesson of that merlin taught to you know wart when he was a squirrel he's like that it it is a very dangerous world and you need to keep your wits about you this is what it you know this is the life of a squirrel is you are constantly looking for things that we're trying to eat you or kill you um so yeah uh rags you're all right the rest of you are great well thanks i can get i suppose except fringy you make me feel things i haven't in a long time wow what what i mean uh have been watching since the first eve happen decided to finally pull some cash out of my tight butt happy holidays and all that oh thank you it's clear bea mccree re had strong vision for every ragnarok level rings of power there's so little to be inspired by i genuinely think that's that's the answer i yeah he was clearly there was one one of these projects he definitely cared about the other was just he had no passion for it seems i have to imagine when you're writing the music for a very story driven piece of media that it can so easily inspire you if you sort of are interested in the story yeah conversely there's nothing to latch on to it's hard to find ideas uh bea mccree re also did the ost for the king of the monsters which is honestly the best part of the movie check out the monsters themes especially rodents oh he's done a lot of stuff i wouldn't want to expect anything else i'm sure it's uh very i mean visually that film was pretty awesome too it's just the writing it was pretty cool yeah the writing was terrible yeah there's too much human bullshit yeah that goes back to the writing i metal you would say hi back ike dooma dooma wasn't even on that episode about it hi rags hello did you watch organized chaos obliterate ballers video i did oh organized chaos is so based in red piled based and he's piled on something he's so amazing at yeah man he definitely convinced me hall of his arguments were so good it certainly is well yeah because by the time this comes out you guys will have seen us watching his video on my video it's something else uh he really pushed the limits of talking about something like it's like he was paid to disagree with me no matter what like yeah no matter what you said and then it ended up that he contradicted himself plenty of times and that weird thing of shitting on dialogue bizarre that was really isn't that crazy yeah yeah like just because just because that was a very creative question i think i think it was drinker's suggestion right like have the characters have a conversation you know now that's that's original this is a visual medium even though characters talk in movies it's pretty yeah the movie critic who's just so stupid he's like don't poo poo dialogue my dude well i think it's just um it's the thing of where you've you've you've uh you pulled the wrong lessons from writing advice like you don't realize that show don't tell doesn't is not like a flat condemnation of dialogue you can show a not tell with dialogue it's called subtext like it's it's really the dialogue is incredibly useful because it's like a something of an insight into the way that a character is thinking but like it's not just what they say it's what they don't say or it's how they say it or when like i don't know it's a little more complicated than just visual good dialogue bad it's just really strange but hey anything to disagree with you i guess chat behave yourselves i don't know while i was over but all right hi mauler rags fringy and guests hello i left space there for you to say oh yeah hey yeah i was wondering if that was like a message thrilled there's a ragnarok slash gaming efap and that there's gonna be more than one also really enjoy this format mauler plus hi rags hello yeah i mean it could come up again sometime depends on what games come out what interests sort of aligns you know how it goes is a very interesting quote from the pros edda one of the main written sources for norse mythology naf is a giant who dwelt in yortenheim he had a daughter by the name night he was swavy and dark like the race she belonged to oh that that wouldn't necessarily mean skin color but it could that could yeah you're right dark but um a couple things i guess like she's yeah you know a dark skinned person or a person who's just more metaphorically dark ma prophecy writing is wishy washy boring on a good day boat is the boring prophecy talk in a gameplay is all the worst walking sim she gets cool again when she's given stuff to do yeah but well so this is kind of what we were trying to talk about with the prophecy stuff i feel like the game utilized it in a pretty strong way right especially when it's whole point it wants to make is the power of choice and uh you know like locking in this grand idea of prophesies of these horrible events and all these different deaths and stuff but simultaneously trying to drill it all the way down to someone like thorby and like we don't change we are monsters better to just do what we are be what we are according to who according to what this game obviously isn't saying that are the prophecies of the reason everyone's doing everything and that everything set in stone a lot of the prophecies you find on the shrines don't come true like it's worth mentioning one of the shrines you find has Thor dying to your maganda obviously more of a reference to the mythology but that does not happen in the game and that it's uh it's arguable that those the most important changes happened because the individual characters changed there i think atreus and thrude have more chemistry than atreus and angroboda um i think i agree i would say so i think atreus and thrude is much more interesting because of the fact they come from like warring families yeah yeah that's that element because you know kratos and atreus killed our brothers that too yeah or hates them but she doesn't seem to hate him quite as much she actually gets along with them it's it's yeah it's it's more of a uh clashing dynamic yeah follow me for two hours doing chores while i don't tell you where we're going who am i and why you should care most last of us two part of the game so now i'm just wondering what it means for something to be the last of us two like boring slash confusing because i was gonna say it's just like i'm weird that we throw that yeah like not accomplishing much with your time i yeah i'm not exactly certain uh she does give you plenty of information like it seems to me everyone who hates the ironwood section missed at least what the ironwood section achieves one of the big ones being of course it allows atreus to understand his rage form like that's that's pretty big in terms of developing him or at least his abilities the fate of the giants convincing her to do more with her life than what is written like these things happen there i know that none of us like ironwood but like you gotta acknowledge what happens there it's some things yeah i mean it did accomplish things it just took way too long to accomplish them there's way too much dead space in there in terms of potential uh what's weird is what else could they do with the marble souls put them back into the human giant bodies how many soulless bodies are walking around well so first of all before we can make that decision we need to know what the the people wanted when they went in and then what does it mean to be in those marbles and then what does it mean to be put into an animal none of these questions are answered and then they just do it yeah i think that's just a it's just a flat out i think a weak-ass part of the story um they want to make your maganda and that's what that is and then how many soulless bodies are walking around so that's a weird thing right we see what happens when the animals are taken of their souls they sort of wander and and they're like one of them's licking a stone because it's just done i i guess they die eventually their body would just run out of sustenance because energy yeah it would it would just starve which is a horrifying which you know a part of you want to it's weird because you kind of what you think like that's a terrifying thing to happen and they're like is there even anything yeah if there's no one if there's nothing in there to even feel it like nothing is getting experience it's literally just a robot like a flesh robot at that point it's just an automaton there's nothing in there yeah it's because it's not the there's nothing in there to feel the pain and anguish of wasting away it's just it's just a body a zombie so to say it essentially it's a zombie um but yeah without a person in there it doesn't i guess it doesn't mean anything it's almost like what's terrifying is the potential of you know that this it's kind of a and it goes from the shell to i think innocence talks about this with like dolls when we look at a doll we see like a body that makes us think of the the empty potential of what a human could be reduced to and you get the similar vibes with this and this and a body that doesn't have a soul in it um but again they don't they don't do too much with it so i could only assume that anything you do to that body is i mean the most like if you came across one of those bodies that didn't have a soul right then i mean it would be immoral to destroy it in the sense of if the point was to get the soul back into a body you know in a way that that does still belong to the if the soul is like no more it doesn't exist then that's one thing but if there's that person's soul out there that needs to get back into that body which it still owns then it would be immoral to destroy someone else's property at that point um and not just the moral implications of that's the vehicle for them to experience the world so it's more than just property destruction um you know it's it's the amount it's like you know krypton had its chance to destroy all the eggs it's it's the amount of potential that you've you know rid the world of things that just can't happen now because you've decided they can't happen um it's very abortive in a way uh it's unpleasant to think about but the that just wasn't really explored that much they were doing other things also one moment real quick he's got a only fringy played soma so we could make a great comparison to who's and then they name a thing that i'm not even gonna okay well good thing i missed that in chat it wouldn't spoil anything out of context but i'm not even gonna give you that sure okay yeah one day he'll play it one yep at least snakes have stellar throat game right also the giants went into pokeballs so that they could hide from the asia the asia are still around atreus what the fuck yeah we read this one out live because yes true uh the only stated purpose they're aware of for why they went into those marbles is not over it's still a thing so a basic respect of why they chose the action is being ignored just because atreus is like i don't know fuck it great man genshin impact is best explained as breath of the weave waifu wars got you back here ragas yeah also it's got your rates are horrendously predatory i i know nothing about genshin impact about the more i discover about it the less i know about it that's sort of my position i it seems to let the more i learn the less i like it uh fringy you once called bohemia boletaria all right i might have to hurry up that's you must have been thinking of something else when he said that demon souls i think is boletaria right i think so yeah maybe it's because i was playing demon souls because i got that for ps5 i need to come back to it there that's pretty funny boletaria i love the transition from the final phadream back to kratos's tent yeah like uh he he's sort of standing with or sitting with her and then the floor comes from behind him and then the the tent starts to come in from the top as well like they i think they do a different transition for each time he gets back into the real world from each of those i'd have to check it is cool nonetheless they had a lot of cool transitions in that game reminds me of uh actually hillhouse hillhouse loads of really good transitions for the past the present present the past or just finished callisto can't in good conscience recommend story and characters sorry can't in good conscience recommend story and characters are thin gameplay is mixed at best 11 ish hours extremely linear game with small side areas that dead ends gonna try signalis that's a shame in it thinking of the more i hear about the less i like have you noticed how much older kratos looks here like he's truly showing his age one of the few times in game it's heartbreaking yeah the the you can spot a lot of the like crow's feet and sort of um sort of standard aging elements that you'll spot i i'm curious if we go forward 10 years or something that if they'll uh they'll start considering making him like very like getting into much more of an old man kratos sort of stuff surprised definitely feels like eras of his life sort of thing but i don't know if they're ever gonna kill him i really do wonder if they'll they'll ever want to i was about to say it'll only be once the game stop making money but it's like that's they'll just not make them at that point though it speaks volumes of kratos's character and of how he raised atreus that both remember their interactions with people they care about so well as to recant their words to them in opportune moments that's the thing they they've spent so long with each other that uh the big epic sort of uh tragedies or adventure parts where something is said it's remembered their whole lives so and you know it wouldn't have been the only time that he would have said certain things it's just the time that we heard and saw them as well heimdall is just rags in god of war changed my mind i'm not i'm no rags is a lot not at all first off yeah i am a lot nicer than heimdall is secondly i have a i'm very optimistic i think maybe even to a point or to a fault in how good i think generally of humans um i i'm not i'm not a very cynical person at all um yeah i don't i don't see how you got that heimdall and i definitely are very different from one another i agree why does Thor still have the cut that was a particularly deep one didn't heal right i think we can say about that i yeah i mean getting hit by leviathan like that by kratos that's a that's a big deal big that's that's kind of wound that'll leave a scar i'd imagine maybe given a lot of time it would heal back up but maybe not it's a little bit hard to tell but both seem like they could be possible i love heimdall's haughty shit poster energy i really enjoyed him as a character i thought he was uh really well done and a great sort of just element to throw in among everything else and i think they took full advantage of his power as well and i don't know if that's what he's like in mythology but it was a cool interpretation of of how he could use power i think heimdall speaks acts and moves a lot like weyoon from star trek ds9 extremely close resemblance to push very similar traits have you seen ds9 rags no i actually haven't no i know very little about deep space nine i haven't seen either neither right new amnesia has come in shady boy i uh oh they said how about that i i am very much scorned i i'm not happy with them so it would take a lot now for me to come back it would have to be the game has an incredible trailer that tempts me beyond belief and then several people i trust tell me it's an amazing game that's the only thing sorry who's this new amnesia game oh yeah freak i mean you i mean moller and i are on the same page on that one like i the best that i could say that i have in terms of curiosity for the next game is is i i guess just i mean it would be like the next i mean the rest of the willow season it'd just be like wow is this how bad will this be and in what way i have no confidence whatsoever that the game will be good but there always is there there's that element of me that's like legitimately curious where do they go how do they course correct if they do or do they just make another shit video game uh amnesia we both felt like getting slapped by a friend uh kind of and so i just i feel disrespected i'm just i'm not i'm not getting involved like i said i have to be unique circumstance for me to give that thing a chance i was like nah how about i'm thinking so pretty much the same for me hola ragola hola yes any ssd is an upgrade from mechanical hard drive but you don't need to overspend for nvme games don't benefit from the large bandwidth yeah the only the only really good one that i feel like specifically in this computer like the boot drive the c drive is the fastest one the others are not because they don't really have to be um but you know i some games you know they benefit from ssd a lot of them do in fact you know in fact a lot of games and the recommended for them they say you know and now ssd yeah it's uh well i mean it's it's part of what's being pushed with like playstation 5 and kind of to elas works at xbox but especially the playstation it's like super fast like loading times it's really fast ssd just today as i've been piddling around in guild wars i've noticed that whenever this a group that i'm in goes into an instance i'm the first one who's moving and grooving and i'm waiting for other people to they're still sitting there loading as their characters are part of the world the characters have been sort of loaded in but they're still you know they're still at a loading screen and i've you know gone ahead you see it speaking of fun mythological games with excellent character writing an absurd amount of optional dialogue hades go play at dumbo's i've heard good things lots of guys but also hollow rags hello people were expecting patrick stewart odin instead we got soul goodman not definitive odin but for what it is i like it and we were we were expecting patrick stewart odin like a very official by the books um not very personable you know duty-minded character i don't know is that what we were expecting i had almost zero expectations beyond what i've been told in the 2018 game because i thought i was trying to avoid any more information i don't say that that was my experience um i was just happy to see what they were gonna do and they've earned they're the opposite of amnesia rebirth where if that same team made the next game it wouldn't matter if the opening hour was all stuff i didn't like i would be like i'm gonna have to wait until the entire game is over before i judge it because i have so much faith in these people and then you know if i complete it and it was shit i'd be like right i think that's kind of what happened with me and amnesia rebirth i tried to give as much good faith as i could for a while of course i mean i think everyone did i mean look at the pedigree of the company you're dealing with a fear flashes and you're just like it's fine it's fine it's fine this won't be the whole game this will be this will be a little just a little temporary thing just to get us on edge maybe i'm fucking something up maybe i'm supposed to be using the matches in some way i'm ever supposed to stay in the light more you know like some some stuff is probably wrong i'm probably doing something yeah coming out yeah just guys coming out after amnesia the dark descent and soma hitting amnesia rebirth was like a fucking brick wall it sucked it was just unbelievable what an insane disappointment love you guys here is loot well thank you cheers some hack silver for the lads thank you thanks i love loot this thaw is a lot like guys in my family it's the thing a lot of people related to either thaw or throod and what was happening in that relationship not exactly uncommon this isn't odin source it was revealed to me in a dream nice i wish i could get some of that it's a it's a thing it's a complicated thing when someone says this isn't the odin that it should be and stuff they could very well be people who've never even read a lick of fucking north pathology but at the same time maybe they would defend it that way to be like i don't have to have read it to know that this is not how you do odin there's almost like a perception of what a character should be and i think a lot of people do accept that that has nothing to do with any particular source it's just what we believe the the thing is and i feel like the original games really did create a lot of their characters based on that sort of system zoos looks exactly like how most people think zoos looks that's just it was nothing subversive about zoos except he was kind of a dick but even that is kind of like well you know he's dick things so but then they revealed all the gods who became dicks because of pandora's box being opened so i'm still not clear on what a lot of god will fans think of that kind of retconi and also takes their agency away a little bit even to the point that when you're beating up zoos at the end of god will three the the black smoke comes out of him as if to imply the evil from pandora's box has been released i'm not sure what you're supposed to make of that exactly either like it like once you do that is he back to being a good guy and he's like oh no don't kill me but it's too late though hades as was talked about before it's still somebody that i think a lot of people like you don't design him that way boo so you know i'd like to say marvel's Loki is bad because he wasn't impregnated by a horse not giving birth to an eight-legged horse absolutely ruins loki's character stuff like that is why the whole like after adhere to source argument starts to get troublesome a lot of things that people are not going to want to be accurate but then it's like so you only make accurate the things you like a bit awkward wait is god of all ragnarok just a ripoff of hook odin has one eye captain hook dylan is me atreus is pond pan son who goes to hook kratos is pan kratos does kind of seem like peter pan doesn't he they're very similar not hearing any disagreements no no not not from us righty then i saw a review from someone who's confused why atreus was sad that fenry is passing when he had hunted a deer earlier some people are beyond help oh gee i can't imagine why atreus is chill with hunting a deer but he's sad when his fucking wolf dies i can't imagine the wow your pet dog died after spending over a decade as your loyal friend yeah but you squashed a cockroach the other day so wow you had chicken for dinner but you're sad when the dog dies weirdo pretty fucked up hmm gee some people are assuming this is not a made-up story geez what a retard just got my fringy and molla plushies they're great one to go high rags very grumpy hello oh super glad you're happy with it yeah uh funnily enough my fringies have delivered i still haven't got my mollus yet really okay i just got mine the other day they have arrived probably check the site actually the updates um i love how the nonsay intends and everyone remembers kills yeah i read this one out because yeah everyone everyone talks about it as though it's it's in stone and that's why it's motivation but uh i'm dal's intention to kill atreus uh was it was like born out of him noticing atreus's motivation to subvert as god but that changes as you can find from bonus dialogue if you talk to i'm dal he's like hmm you don't even know what you want to do and how interesting it is that ultimately it is it is heimdall's intentions that get him killed you do not get to decide my fate fringesoy the nons reinforcing kratos's lesson to atreus intentions do not matter only the consequences top notch stuff well in relation to the result right like it's at that point the intention is not going to do anything because what happens next is going to just i i quite enjoy it as a sort of like but i didn't mean for thing to happen it's like that's great man real useful at this point but yeah obviously kratos uh he's still destroying apathia but for completely different reasons better reasons go to go the the nons are just like lol it's your story will end so soon what's an endgame time kratos would have died if it weren't for his character change saved by friendship i think um there's a lot of ways to interpret that would kratos have died had he not made significant changes in his decisions in the end game of ragnarok it's possible maybe if he continued to attack thaw maybe he kills him and then throod is like works without him to stop you there's a possibility and maybe it actually works you know there's lots of different ways things could roll out differently if kratos hadn't decided to save the civilians to save or what um remember they delay ragnarok as a result of him trying to save the civilians is all kinds of ways that if he hadn't he may have died there you know um however it could be that uh when they say pity your story will end so soon if the nons are like ethereal creatures that lived forever then him dying soon could mean you know one day one century one of those things they weird maybe uh maybe a story doesn't necessarily end because of death maybe it's like yeah you finish your journey you finish your arc of sorts and that in a way that means your story is done to them who knows you know if you reach your yeah who knows who it's very open ended to interpretation which is uh there's no reason to think that no one's can't lie they could probably also then uh brock x kratos best bro ship yeah really good job with that absolutely they did if you equate the nature of a thing to its purpose or function and surely its form is equal importance not less perhaps i misunderstood but even in context what brock says seems kind of flimpy all he's talking about is uh the form form might tell you something's nature it's potentially possible especially like in mechanical sense but whether or not you have that what he says stands true the the nature of the thing like what it is what it wants what it does is going to be more important as information than what it looks like which is all you really get it it's also very important to in you know in the way that the question was worded do not link some things um uh nature with its purpose because in a way they're they're they're in great opposition because something's nature is what it is and it couldn't be any other way um whereas the purpose of a thing is something that's imbued upon an object purpose is purpose is not intrinsic to something whereas something's nature is um so for like the like um a a purpose requires a a user of a thing or a mind uh to use something for a specific reason purpose or function to try and broaden it out I think on purpose these which kind of comes back to what you said about the axe earlier right like you look at an axe you're like weapon it's like well yeah what's the purpose of an axe is like well generally we know what it is used for but that's still a generalization it's just useful to say that when in truthfully the purpose of an axe is whatever I essentially want to use it for I imbue that axe with purpose through its usage and it does certain things better than others which is why generally when you say what's the purpose of an axe we can all agree it's you know for chopping things uh but it's it's not necessary to the you know to the metal and the handle and everything it's not it's not intrinsic to it that its purpose is to do anything yeah and obviously what's happening is what is Kratos the god killer like one way to summarize him what is his nature it's like he doesn't want to kill everything in fact he's kind of against it at this point just because and then you know what is he I love that sequence so much it's like what is he doing right now he's like he's crafting a weapon to kill a god that will likely start a war that will end in bloodshed and it's like so he's doing everything that he did in the originals he certainly looks like something right now and it's like yeah yeah yeah yeah but think about why he's doing all the things that he's doing and that's what they start saying him and Atreus back and forth to each other throughout the third act why are we making these decisions is uh is there the right thing to do not because it's written that sort of not because we match some kind of bad thing in terms of our form our nature is more important don't touch my spear gross piv yeah well I guess is that how far we are right now in story with brock and forming the spear huh ready perhaps the two spears also refer to the two faces odin puts on in the story as both he and tear have spears associated with them uh it's possible possible is when they were talking about that shot where he's between the two spears and it very much looks deliberate yeah it's it's very deliberate I just kind of wonder what they were thinking when they did that in terms of what they wanted us to yeah be thinking about um and fey was an example of fridging reference for anyone remembers efeb episode and high rags and this is the thing man I I just like I was never convinced by that whole fridging thing I just won't be um I need them to address uncle ben is that fridging and if it is then what what the fuck's the point of this anymore if a character dies for the sole purpose of it seemingly in the story of motivating someone else to do something that's bad or I guess it's not even that it's bad it's that it's a trope and that it like removes the agency and meaning from that person which I just like I mean it's all in that episode I don't know why I bring it up it frustrates me long time listener first time caller it's not the typical efap speed but I'd like to recommend causeway a new film from a 24 slash apple tv plus I haven't heard of it neither have I uh strong through line incredibly well realized characters who are expertly performed and yes themes but not at the expense of plot or characters also high rags oh well all right we like themes yeah we do like things it took us like we like things that are convince our audience we actually like them yeah we like themes that are well supported by the material thanks ryan they're not contradicted the messaging of the film it's like the version right it's like now a lot of people see that as like a dirty word so sad so many of the great time to subversion exactly what is unforgiven if not one of the biggest subversions of like its genre ever yeah um I've been looking forward to this that's three different people who've said that quality meme quality meme from it is a quality meme from uh well beloved films let's call them yes they definitely are yes damn you mubishly it's still not done with 215 it's not my fault I'm sorry ten and a half hours last time and we haven't even gotten to the real good stuff yet I don't think my heart is ready also higher frags and oh sorry high rags and frongo hello I guess we're on pot too then what's up peeps I'm bricked up and ready for this breakdown bricked up bricked up it needs to be bricked up but like alcohol or were you ready to take a shit I don't know what I mean maybe he missed maybe he missed I'm bricked up I'm ready to lay a big old brick ready to lay a brick oh my goodness I hope it doesn't I hope it's not brick shape that would be very unpleasant if it was brick shaped them edges um maybe he misspelled what bricked up the problem is I'm trying to figure out what the word would be yeah trying to figure out what would be the word I've been looking forward to this part two take two nice yes so we are the second part of this big old journey e-faps violent night for Christmas I would it's just not out it's not out yet so I said sit in theaters we can't exactly turn that into an e-fap movies you know but perhaps next Christmas maybe chat doesn't have all their soul bits oh hey guys same thing I said about the last of his two streams I've never played a single god of war game but I'm totally engaged when you guys go over games also I totally dig the new format that's good to hear I do hope that people who have no context for the stories we cover get enough context to understand them you know I hope so too um because I went into Ragnarok with not too much context you'd show me stuff you'd shown me stuff from 2018 yeah but for the most part I went in not really knowing too much so I got a great deal out of the story and the characters even with my very limited amount of context uh thank you guys for entertaining while I'm at the hospital with a massive hole in my neck oh no well since you typed that out I assume you're you're making it you're all right hang in there so whatever may be happening I hope it's not too massive of a hole whatever it is that's going on there any thoughts on Home Alone 3 it's my favorite Home Alone because it was the first one I watched for my grandpa I can't even know if I've seen Home Alone 3 I'm trying to think of what it is I don't know if I've seen Home Alone 3 either I've seen one and two for sure but uh I don't know about three home let me uh let me maybe the cover because I made a bunch of Home Alone movies didn't I like there's a Home Alone 3 1997 um who's in it Scarlett Johansson David Thornton Haviland Morris Alex D. Lins but but this is like I guess this is not well I mean it was written and produced by John Hughes directed by Raja Ghaznel Raja Ghaznel maybe um mixed reviews doesn't look like we have see da da da da da yeah I I guess we got a new kid it's not the McAllister's anymore a Peter plot is Peter Bioprah Alice Ribbons Burton Jernigan and Earl Unger are for for internationally wanted criminals who work for a terrorist organization I don't think I've seen that one the thing I only saw oh I've definitely seen I've got zero memories of this oh in Silicon Valley California they steal a 10 million dollar missile cloaking microchip and hide it inside a remote control toy car to sneak it past security at San Fran International Airport however a luggage mix up causes a Chicago bound elderly passenger named mishass to inadvertently take the thieves bag containing the car I have seen this I have when I was a young lad I I I have uh memories particularly of specifically the terrorist guy when he learns that the toy car is bound for Chicago he says we are going to Chicago and then it cuts to another scene but I I remember very little about this but I have seen it yes interesting I think the name of the kid is um I don't know I don't even know who the fuck is it Alex Pruitt and Scarlett Johansson plays Molly Pruitt who I assume is that's the name of the guy in midnight mass the reverend you priest I don't know Pruitt my second grade teacher in school her name is Miss Pruitt oh weird that I remember that also y'all watching cocaine beer yeah maybe maybe I don't know maybe devil fruit of the week this is the one again you gotta sacrifice swimming for the beast beast fruit which allows the user to generate and manipulate biscuits at will fucking yes yes absolutely yeah generate them I can solve world hunger or at least close to it I guess the world's gonna have to eat biscuits but I don't know this gotta be imagined imagine imagine that power also manipulate the biscuits what that means like telekinetic but with biscuits biscuit kinesis okay do like uh yeah uh what would it be do be yeah I don't know that's just I have to think on it yes basically I can't see any downside to this really uh who gonna immune and thought and memory is that what they mean I do not know sure they mean something theories on what's behind the rift could it be us I don't think they would go for that I could believe that it's like pure knowledge I just don't know how that would manifest if if an entity was to absorb it you know what does it mean to have all knowledge I wonder how that how that would go but uh because I have a feeling that's gonna come back whatever that rift led to is probably gonna be more to that in the future games like every it would be interesting if every pantheon or every culture kind of had their their own tear or the tears were kind of like the orbs in amnesia where like every like multiple civilizations are aware of them and what they do with them is you know what they do with them but they're almost like this universal kind of mysterious thing that different cultures can get a hold of so maybe this rift into ultimate truth is something that you know in different realms worlds and dimensions can be accessed potentially by people I think that um it's worthwhile considering the with Odin and Zeus being dead that that could cause something like uh yeah um in that world potentially those guys were holding something back or something didn't happen because they were alive and that or they had a project that were working on together that is now you know something that's going on there's lots of things you could do with the fact that two of the the biggest gods of all time in terms of culture are dead uh was busy guy yeah wow an efap episode and the plushies on my birthday this is a good day thanks for all the content guys and high rags hello hello after 200 I started a start to finish efap binge and thank god for two time speed and 12 hour shifts but now y'all sound blasted at normal speed whoa can't watch because I'm not done with ragnarok yet I I've had that before when I've listened to something for a long time on times two and then it goes to times one and for a moment what's wrong with you yeah I'm like why are you guys talking like it's slow bullshit what's going on uh Odin lucky no one looked for tear in his room no so the way it would have to work is the nobody goes into the broom closet the thing that Odin is relying on is that he's like I've been tortured for many many years I just please when I go in here please just leave me the fuck alone and the way that they get his attention is they'll knock the door and ask him to come out so um you could say you can might be able to uh relay to Odin who knows yeah like as soon as there's a chance of them doing anything it might be the uh it would be munin at that point would would call for Odin um I think you can argue there's some level of luck to it but I would say it's still in the more likely camp that nobody was gonna just burst in there suddenly and if and if they open it up and he's nowhere to be found that's not like an unsalvageable situation yeah he has to then port back somewhere else and be like I was just walking around I was I was wandering around Yggdrasil you know that sort of thing I think a cool detail is that uh when you find him in um bottlefine if you look around the room you can find a couple of raven feathers cool Susan be like great bleeding fuck you freed raw Susan feels that way about a lot of people uh this injury doesn't respect Atreus's right to bear arms I think he's cool with him having bear arms it's just when you yeah nice joke though yeah I really enjoyed how Loki has some secret sly tricks to hero there but causes a lot of chaos often unintentionally like with Garm yeah they tried to obviously crank the Loki elements in his personality there's he wasn't called Loki for no reason not the god of wisdom I'm dull constantly has to hear what they think of him if he has to put up with them he probably thinks it's only fair that they put up with him yeah I think that there's a reason he's the way that he is to do with his abilities it's a shame because if he was you know if he was a really nice person people would probably be really nice to him but I think because he is I think he's grown naturally cynical as a person when he behaves that way in front of other people they have a negative impression of him and so it kind of feeds in on himself hello molla fringy and rags hello hi receive my awesome molla and fringy plushies eagerly awaiting rags next I'll tune back in once I finish Ragnarok oh awesome yeah I got them too they look uh they look really good um as I I think the rags ones will be arriving what like probably weeks from now right early yeah I think uh early January something like that I can't remember off the top of my head though so it's funny to hear you praise the wrath's path introduction when I think it's the worst time to do it having a big single target base move introduced during a huge hold battle seems counterintuitive I think it'd work better during the heimdall fight the wrath's path introduction oh they're talking about um the form of rage mode where you can have the rage drain for like a boosted attack just they're saying I think that's the worst time to do it having a big single target base move introduced during a horde fight seems counterintuitive um the thing about it is it doesn't like wipe out one huge target in the same like it doesn't it wouldn't do that for like any of the mini bosses it just does a significant chunk of damage but it does instantly wipe out most of your average mobs I think it it makes a lot of sense to introduce it there uh and they definitely don't want to introduce it as late as like the heimdall fight I think that's uh you're running out of time at that point right in terms of letting people use it in the story but um I don't know it's uh I can I can understand why why you make that argument I think kind of fair um oh that's a shame zero punctuation was not all that fond of the new god of war sad face well I haven't seen his review me neither but I often find myself either agreeing or disagreeing with him here and there you never know respect for the man for uh going for this long you know absolutely Cooper he's a very talented person uh how would you rank the god of war games um I think it's been said before obviously ranks and freeing you can't really answer in terms of ranking all of them uh for me it's it's as they were released my favorites from least to most is one two three four five ending my playing the psp games and ascension which I think I might do when uh metal comes in a language that Kratos killed personally oh Greek kind of I mean there's still plenty of people who speak it left yeah the nature of its existence is I suppose up in the air in terms of it yeah well the what happens at the end of god of war three is that all of the people who were left were like screaming and running around the implication of course being that this is a horrible place to be but they are alive and Athena's planning to make the place better so probably actually really difficult to wipe out a whole like culture you got to get everyone I get them all it's hard to do people don't generally want to die so they'll try not to die why did the mask go to hell if the piece isn't there but they went to Helheim because of a mistranslation and then it pointed them to Garm I think we're supposed to assume because it attunes to the goals of the user uh and then a user has to be a giant question mark and uh Atreus sense is like larger creatures that are in pain slash suffering whenever he goes to any of these realms did it with the huff kufa and uh I think there was another example right um or which realm it would be but I'd have to look around but yeah obviously it is precedent of a sort I think that is the interpretation we're supposed to go with there's nothing open for it I don't think there is a Polish movie o dwoch takich drachels the the two who stole the moon made in 1962 to the two twin brothers decide to steal the moon and sell it so they don't need to ever work nice I wonder how much a moon's worth some moons are definitely worth more than others some moons are great some moons are shit like Pandora that's a moon right I just I'm still stuck on the healing it pot do you need like a net would a net do it I don't know if she'd do it but maybe you could use like um like what what a grew do he used a shrink ray right was it grew the did it or grew his villain and yeah and he's I don't remember anymore because he's that guy right the one that's in the guy yeah yeah like the the end of mode looking dude yeah um I don't I he wanted he's he he was really obsessed with a freeze ray wasn't he oh yeah I think so you're right but I think grew was gonna we needed to shrink it no wait grew use the freeze ray didn't he in the beginning when he he wants to get in front of the queue at like the starbucks or whatever and you free oh yeah yeah yeah I haven't seen that movie in so long I can't freeze right I think that's the yeah I haven't seen it in ages I remember liking it but mm-hmm it became an abomination as far as I'm aware yes like many things that just keep going and going I'm sort of a Norse mythology expert myself spider-man a lot of them popping up yeah a lot of them earlier before Kratos talks about slipping back into his old ways then delivers the most violent kill to an enemy since oh gee god of war get wrecked Heimdall that's the thing man I saw a lot of people saying it was weird that he thought it was just like I guess the gore aspect because a lot of people said like that that kill on Heimdall was a little more creepy than any other kill creators has had yeah it was very personal and up close and his face was fucked up and you know his last words were calling him a monster and yeah it wasn't it wasn't really quick it was you know it's strangling him essentially I'm a mere compelling him not to in the back brother brother don't force isn't who you want to be good stuff Heimdall maybe a shallow character but he's so important in the story like I said I don't think he's shallow I don't think he's shallow he doesn't have as much time as a lot of other characters but in the time that they have they've created somebody who I understand and who I don't think it's one dimensional we saw it it was that battle does a lot of work to emphasize his flaws his flaws more so than just being an arrogant asshole right like where it all comes from dimensions right it's like what does that even refer to it's just like how many modes of operation does the character have and what do they care about and how can they conflict and so it's like what do we get at first it's like arrogant asshole who thinks he knows everything it's like right mode one what else we got it's like we already have mode two where he's an arrogant asshole who thinks he knows better than everybody to everyone except Odin when it's Odin he shows massive respect and submits to anything Odin says like oh that's kind of interesting and then of course like having him be like oh please don't kill me oh no like like this is like uh oh this is this is adding to it because the arrogance is almost unfounded but the second he realizes that uh it's actually through pity it's like there's loads of things getting added on but I think yeah it makes him it makes him more complicated than one note and I think it's pretty straightforward when he says you do not get to decide my fate I feel like that line basically defines him like pretty clearly this is this is his core he sees all and he knows how other people act and he believes that he is totally in control and the notion that he isn't is unacceptable and consequently it actually results in his death yeah he could have walked away like it's it's it's all it's all very ironic right you think you get to walk away that's not how this works it's like it is Kratos is giving you an opportunity to walk away but you can't see that you refuse to accept it and then yeah you get some self-killed like basically essentially yeah he does yeah and I think Mamiya knew already right I don't think a warning is going to cut it yeah he knows wow because he knows better but yeah it's just such an interesting dynamic that this guy who sees all and knows all and is like incredibly in control of situations because of that is hyper insecure the moment that that gets challenged he's just not used to it and like to me that's dimensions yeah um like I said he's he's he's nowhere near as complicated as like Kratos Freyja Oden but he's still got he's still got depth and what little time we get with him that's what's so impressive about the uh about the writing in the game is that even in very small moments with uh with characters you just get the sense it's kind of like you know it's like the the iceberg theory right for writing where even though you have you know not a whole lot of information if it's written well it just sort of conveys a lot more information beneath the surface it feels like it's built on top of something that you haven't seen but that you can infer good stuff absolutely uh y'all didn't mention with the spear Kratos now controls all the elements fire blades ice axe earth with mealy and now wind with the spear that's kind of interesting and thought of it but don't forget about heart I um I if they make a new game I am genuinely going to be curious which of the weapons they're going to drop if any because all of them are so well because I mean he's got it if he goes to Egypt he's got to get some Egyptian weapon that's the thing I wonder if they'll they'll just commit now and be like right we're gonna have these three weapons and we're gonna add more and then we're gonna add one more you know until he gets it all yeah doom style the thing is like I can't see like if you just drop the drop near spears like really I want to keep the I want to keep the spear it's too personal there's anything that I would drop I would get rid of the axe is I think there's reason behind that being that it's the Norse weapon and if he moves on from the Norse land it's like I can see him well so so it's not it's not a thing it was a begrudging letting that one go because I'd want him to keep them all because what I like is that um it feels like each of those weapons not only do they fill a clear slot in terms of their utility but narratively you've got the Norse weapon that belongs to his wife then you've got his old Greek weapons and then you've got drop near which is a combination of the both to spot and spear but it's made using an you know an aspect of Norse mythology it's really awesome and if you want to keep batting on he's a god of war makes sense that he has a whole bunch of weapons yeah the problem is it's just it's a matter of uh can you design it and balance it in a good way yeah exactly you know it can get to a point where the more weapons you add the uh the harder it gets to make each of them feel unique and the harder it gets to balance it all yeah you want to have maybe weapons be more roll oriented yeah we don't want to do well we want to do the thing that Halo does right compared to Call of Duty where each weapon in the Halo sandbox uh is functionally distinct from the other like even when you're like the SMG isn't quite the same as the assault rifle even though they're both fully automatic medium range weapons you know the SMG is a little bit more short range and the uh the the assault rifle is medium range and it's kind of the shallow clip is specifically designed to tie into like melee attacks whereas the SMG is more of a dual-wield weapon you got your blades of chaos with your crowd control with lots of cleave to them aoe fast aoe and then you have your weapon have you hit a you know yeah probably your you probably want your your spear could be single target damage for the most part uh because it's a spear you stab with it um it's got some range to it as well maybe the axe has got a lot of crowd control associated with it you know it's a a general all-purpose thing that's good at keeping enemies stunned or slowed down things of that nature there's a lot of options that you could explore I feel like um well the problem is that well it's not really a problem I guess drop near kind of slots into the projectile weapon slot pretty well because all I was saying is like maybe the next one's projectiles but magic of it I don't know it might be it just gets harder to to carve out like a niche but that's something that um yeah I'm not sure I'm not sure what what would be the Egyptian weapon though if they picked one that was like a quintessentially Egyptian weapon of course had the co-pash uh right had uh generally they had maces were big in Egypt generally the the mace was a symbol of authority oftentimes a pharaoh or a general would be depicted with a mace um you know a good bludgeoning weapon uh you've got of course spears bows and arrows you know and all kinds I feel like it would be the co-pash right surely that's the most iconic yeah um but the problem is that it's essentially a sword axe it's a sword uh but maybe that's the nature of it right the axe is the axe is very much an axe maybe the sword slots into the middle ground between the blades of chaos and the um and the and the axe and that it's like it's it's kind of like the happy middle ground it's stronger than the blades of chaos but it's faster than the axe maybe that's the way it works maybe I mean it's tough maybe tied into melee combat right like the sword and the axe together it's possible that the instead of maybe a a runic based magic system we go with something like instead of Egyptian weapons being given to you maybe they could be tied into the like to the rage modes or your special abilities that you activate that's when the Egyptian stuff comes out um maybe you maybe a god or goddess gives you a blessing of some kind and you could summon their power for a short time um or you just instead of saying you know we already have essentially two sword-like weapons you have you give them the mace you give them the the the single target big anti armor um you know clobber and weapon uh but there's a lot of options to do they have so much to work with and there's so many things that you could do with it they mentioned this boat in helheim in the last game uh you talk about the boat we use in the first the 2018 game oh the the playing boat yeah or are they talking about the fact that we're on a boat that was rigged up with the uh to float or the yeah they maybe they're talking about how we referenced freya's floaty boat in the previous game like that's possible I remember that uh that wouldn't surprise me yeah I can't quite recall but wouldn't surprise me Chad birger yeah he yeah he is sacrificial so about Odin not sending everyone he has to get heimdall home or at least take the key to as god off him since he knows craters wants to kill him I I don't know that he has any concern really that he actually would kill heimdall and he probably told heimdall not to uh do x ylz but like at that point it's just heimdall's doing what heimdall wants to do I think I don't know how that would that would work right because we know that Tia knows that craters intends to kill heimdall does Odin then say hey heimdall one of my best warriors don't don't want exactly you know don't all right I've just seen something that's just so you know how like a couple of days ago was the fifth year anniversary of the last Jedi I've seen I've seen a twitter thread um where someone's like that they're praising the holdover maneuver they said three stories came together in an explosion it's like it's really funny isn't it because it's like that's one way to look at it that's one way to look at it is like ah the three stories have you know coalesced into one epic moment that destroyed everything it's amazing five years ago yeah you don't see as much loud praise for that film though it's kind of funny you really don't but you see that with a lot of things right like who is uh who's still talking about whatever the what were the more praised marvel projects of the year well moon night the sentiment turned on that one i guess shang chi's one that didn't really get turned on as much but i mean people have been shitting on simulia a lot lately so yeah he's uh maybe well he's pretty cringy he's pretty cringy the thing that he because they put the the trailer out for the new barbie movie which he's in and i think he tweeted something like just i gotta find it tarantino thing it was related to the tarantino thing or at least that's all that anybody could see based on let me see he said it's all just formulae superhero movies nowadays upside down smiley face and yeah of course it's like dude like get over it like i don't you know what i mean like chill but i mean that that would be an example right like veteran or two directors of sort of shitting on the industry you was like an upcoming actor getting on the back is just it just looks awful uh yeah especially when shang chi and i guess the sentiment did kind of because people started clowning on that for like the visual effects like in that final battle how it's just this big gray like brownish gray space like on a cave like next to a cliff where the spider's happening and it all just doesn't look real at all but i mean that was one of the ones that people were praising more so than the others but like at what point how often is somebody in you know let's say in 2025 just going to be like do you want to rewatch shang chi the legend of the 10 rings like who's going to just do that including the people who said it was good no one's going to do that because it's all disposable people watch it and then they consume it and then they have thoughts on it at the time but then it doesn't have any enduring legacy it's just gone and forgotten but people still rewatch iron man i don't know if we're in an era of disposable entertainment it's really lame i saw that there was uh on twitter it was trending like hashtag fire james gun he's really yeah he's only just started it's his first month on the job you can yeah but they all those decisions like henry cavill and stuff they go that's why they want to yeah well yeah that's uh but i mean in a certain sense that's kind of like brave isn't it as a choice to make especially if you believe that you're taking things in the right direction uh but yeah as for why didn't odin basically like i don't know put heimdall under ultimate protection um i'm not sure that that heimdall would need it it's like kind of amazing and as they said his reputation is unkillable i'm not sure what what it would look like right odin goes back to asgard and says hey heimdall they they want to kill you i think heimdall will be like well i'm going to kill them i think it's it's kind of that simple and obviously that's what's happening in vanaheim he's like he first of all he's happy to kill both freya and kratos and i don't blame him for his confidence right like not only is an arrogant prick but he's like never been scratched by anyone but gonna make you feel invincible yeah he hasn't even been touched you don't think you'd have to even worry about him um how is it we have a mask and loki and no reference to the jim carrey movie mask very true sorry it's the one thing that god of war ragnarok needed to push it into true greatness that that movie is i remember enjoying that movie a lot the mask yeah it's uh it's a classic and then they made son of the mask which was uh not so good i love it when kratos asked loki about the mask and shows shows he has faith in him he shows that in several moments in the game yeah i mean because because of course the one that was more negative was him screaming boy but then standing there to let atreus make the choice yeah and the fucking dumbo was like wow kratos still hasn't caught up to him it's like he's obviously doing this on purpose he's giving him a choice he's letting him make the choice and then of course at the end the fact that he's more much more comfortable just saying this is your choice because it's basically a recognition by kratos that it's like this is atreus's story right now what's happening here he needs to make this thing people in like wow he's not even the protagonist in his own game it's like they're both the protagonist they're just different stories that they're having atreus is much more so the protagonist of like the brudden norse like adventure essentially like in terms of tying directly into ragnarok but i mean kratos is too because he's the general who leads the army to war in ragnarok he makes most of the that montage wasn't there for no reason like he makes most of the decisions in the game he makes tons of decisions yeah like i mean i of course we've talked about active passive like kratos is not a passive character he is very active nor is he a pacifist no he goes to war the game is all about like how he's desperate to avoid war but he doesn't want war but he'll fight it he'll he'll fight a few it's like he said in his speech i didn't want this war he's right he didn't want it but he'll he'll fight if he needs to yeah hello there i've never played god of war and i don't know if i will in the future here's some money oh thank you oh nice f for brock god of the scrote here scrote god be a little more scrote when i freed tear from the super easy prison i suspected that either the game was badly written because of all the recent story failures all that that wasn't tear i'm so glad god of war was amazing i said man i think that's one of the first things i said when when it was revealed i was like fuck that makes sense now i was gonna complain about it but there you go uh odin played on mamiya's guilt definitely did the same for freya as well this uh all three of them see each other in themselves right like what they've had done to them by odin and so there's less pressure to grill uh tear on his claims but brock doesn't give a shit brock doesn't care what you've been through he's gonna he's gonna be pointing out your bullshit pretty consistent about him brock is what critical thinking is valuable irl yeah yeah it is yeah keep your brain running no matter what and you'd be surprised what you can find stuff is just like wait a minute that doesn't make any fucking sense poor brock i felt that one it must grope yep grope when brock died i ran through the rest of the game mad as fuck ready to kill odin yeah yep that was the point where i uh i was like now it's personal go into the credits now boys i was like i'm just playing this until i see the end you know anubis is the god of lost souls like i said there's a way to get sundry into the future narrative that's possible yeah you pretty much have free reign to do anything of course but you pretty much have free reign in the realm of appropriateness where as long as anubis is essentially something to do with death the realm of the dead passing on to the death the process of dying learning to learning to prepare for moving on to the next world then it'll be it'll be fine there's a whole bunch of stuff to do there there's a lot to latch on to with philosophy right like it's a common thing that gets brought up in stoicism essentially that like learning to live means learning how to die well essentially you know learning how to be prepared for the inevitable that's the thing i don't even know what kind of payoff you do there if you did have it be that sundry was searching out anubis to bring back brocks like do you just go with like he needs to learn to let go or do you have it be that he actually basically sacrifices himself to bring brock back or something you know there's a lot of different directions you got options and you could and they would all lead to different roads thematically as well it's kind of the cool thing when you've written a story well is that when you want to go further as long as you have the similar mindset when you're creating the price story you just see that there are so many opportunities that you've left available to you you know in terms of telling a story it's good stuff metal plushy yes if you would like to do one it's uh not an impossibility it's gonna be whether or not it can be funded and stuff the complicated situation yeah but if if it happens you we will be the first to like a second to let you know maybe even first we let you know before he did maybe first i miss you guys watching steal his likeness oh god plushy out of it this one's kind of funny to think about now i miss you guys watching videos and responding to them but this is close enough i like the coverage of games instead of always my favorite oh well if you wanted to see us responding to stuff we got a double dose of fucking cringe that's what yeah yeah god damn uh i enjoy when you cover good content do it more to bounce it out and more gaming content merry christmas also fuck you youtube notify me better more latism love you um i mean this is kind of thing we don't really go by like how much negative stuff have we done it's time for a positive or how much movies are we done time for gaming as you can tell it's pretty much just about what's coming out and what we're interested in pretty much pretty much so um i can understand that you like these ones more than other ones or whatever but you know just kind of the main thing we're gunning for is what we're all passionately invested in chatting about yes and yet he honored it references loki's talk with odin in asgard a talk that tear should not be caught up on um um the the whole peace aspect saying yet he honored it is probably referring to how odin hasn't overtly attacked them yeah that would be yeah that's would be red if you didn't know who he was and you could push back and say the iron here y'all have attacked us you're like well we're in we're going to places there but like odin himself has not has not come after the stabs with his big old spear we built a wall and made the giants pay for it clearly a world game kappa oh yeah true odin we make a good team don't we thaw tell that to boulders snapped neck get old that's a good one never get old the haze in the end battle literally the fog of war adds so much to the atmosphere yeah it's uh it's the soundtrack for me man that's what makes that whole ending it's such a great track for setting the mood i love it uh right there she's standing atreus should see her um if you're talking about when throod sort of surprises him it's the he climbs up he turns around to to help sundry up and then he turns around and then she's there so i think there's room to argue she was uh you know she came at him when he didn't see her i'd have to see it again nobody i'm still thinking about that line zod snap neck that's just like hey it's so he's coming out with his first movie soon isn't he uh oh i suppose so yeah i think i don't know if he's finished filming it or not yeah but i mean but oh because he raised that because can you raise a shit ton of money for it like over a million uh i think so yeah for uh for like his big feature film that's gonna be something well i'm sure that he would have spent more time working on that script than on the sure fucking i think you i'm pretty sure that when it when it all uh got him in trouble with people he repeatedly was emphasizing that he wrote it in 20 minutes which i don't i don't believe um i don't i don't know that you can write that much in 20 minutes like you could if you were just blazing forward but like i'm pretty sure that why would you even putting out why would you release that 20 minutes when you blazed wow 20 minutes you know i mean like so here's well so here's the awkward part i distinctly remember that people had pointed out that in like streams that he had done around that time he had like mentioned specifically that the zod snap neckline like before he had published it you know like that it wasn't like that that was actually a line that he had i could be wrong but i feel like i i that that just sounds familiar to me that like there were actually streams where he was talking about that film and he had he had used the line zod snap neck before he had posted the screenplay which indicates that he had actually thought about it for a little while longer than 20 minutes which is kind of amusing because like zod snap neck is uh that's like a look i'd give i'd give it to you as a first draft line you know sometimes you got some clunky lines so like if that was one that you thought was really cool beforehand damn it's just funny zod snap neck it's so awkward tell it to a broken neck like what does that mean good for him that he had well yeah i mean he'd make it over now right so so i guess in a long time it all panned out well i mean i i mean it's it's it's cool to go out there and make stuff ultimately yeah it is uh there is legitimately something admirable about it even if the uh even if the talent or regardless of what the outcome of the yeah like the fact that you actually did it about work is yeah exactly doing the work yeah even sif's decision at the end is consistent with her love of her family and past decisions also step on me mommy sif oh my um yeah i mean yeah like i like i i guess we had inadvertently talked about earlier uh she's has a very strong tie to her family yep my only complaint is that thord died i'd love to see him redeem himself to be better imagine a kratos and thord brochip obviously his dad that's why it's a tragedy that's why it's a tragedy um and you know you can what you can draw from it as inspiration is like don't wait for someone to tell you to change make that decision yourself so wait for someone to stab you in the hand off they burn an axe at your gut um yeah that's why i mean i like that they provide lots of different endings and pathways for different characters that regard a similar point often what you do get that theme nice and strong how did odin know groe's mural prophecy that led to the boys to search for tear in moosebleheim does odin get info beamed from the green ravens implications how did he know his ability to say again i'm curious what the question odin know about groe's mule prophecy that led to the boys search for tear in moose well so he knew about all the shrines um are you oh so wait are you asking i'm i'm not quite clear on what the question is yeah they didn't search for tear in moosebleheim there's from his fatal time i got him except to how did odin know groe's mule prophecy that led the boys to search for tear in moose all right like the the one that they found in mid god all the one the question is how did odin know where to place fake tear um and my assumption for that would be that he's probably got a plan for the likely realms that they would search i think uh swaddle find was just a really good bet anyway because it was under complete control of the asia and you can't get they couldn't get to as gods it's not going to be in niefelheim or moosebleheim uh mamiya says there's a little influence that he has over the primordial realms obviously it could have been in mid god and some other places but i think at that point wherever they ended up looking for him odin could likely set it up ahead of them yeah i mean he can get around pretty quick and then of course you got dirlin uh is he sends right in that direction as soon as he's done that it's like well they're probably going to be hidden that way well that's probably part of it right he would have told dirlin to do that and he did yeah and then it's like okay they're on the path get over there if i may more what about the noose i find it odd that odin would leave that around in mid god where freya is after she taught him magic still cool um i feel like we didn't get quite enough information on like they tell you about it he hanged himself for nine days and nine nights or whatever as part of some magical thing to uh sorry thank you for saying hanged and not hung it is hanged yeah that's yeah it's thing a lot of people think yeah like i'm hung but i'm not hanged it's an important distinction uh yeah so so we don't really have enough on that that item was imbued with some kind of magic but he also didn't like it got left behind i guess he didn't keep it because he uses it to power up his uh staff at the end of the game so i guess it went somewhere he because uh it was from igdrasil that he hanged himself i think as well so i yeah we don't really get a lot of information on exactly what's going on with all of that um but nothing that necessarily contradicts it's just uh vague not enough information yeah and thus loki's mask traveled the multiverse until it was discovered by jim carrey yeah how great freya was played by mike from until dawn i don't even remember which one mike from until dawn is i think he was like the main male guy because there was head and pen and tears a name i think she was like the main and then i think he was an x one the j liked tweet of the day is people who claim not to care about politics are judy conservatives who are pretending not to get laid tending not to be to get laid the people who claim they don't care about politics are trying to come across that way to get laid i see i mean i think interesting opinion i think there are people who legitimately do not care about politics though i think a lot of people don't care about politics there are a lot of people who fucking hate politics and want to like most people don't care that much i mean most people just don't vote unless when you convert politics into basically everything if you say like now if your interest in the gaming industry is political to an extent you'll be like okay so everything fine i guess i care about politics then well i mean if if it's just like at your fingertips on twitter as you browse the internet and something political pops up you comment on it that's one thing but actually caring to the point that you're doing things or paying attention or staying informed shots are much smaller yeah everyone's gonna have like a a care floor so to speak but it would be reasonable to say plenty of people want to move through their lives without really thinking about a lot of it yeah this one just says i cried don't even know what oh the next one says data boy has become dad of man so i assume that's about the craze finds his own way this says here's the best part happy kratos it is amazing yep hi i love that payoff multi-verse madness has been awarded the best movie of 2022 at the pca's beating the batman top gun maverick and more what yeah yeah what can you do this is like oh well and you do there you go uh do you guys think face scenes are more like flashbacks or craters his brain distilling the knowledge fray taught him i prefer the latter interpretation combo it's it's it's you've got lots of crazy things happening in them right and it's change of clothing sometimes the environment is uh changing while he's moving in and out of it it's probably a memory that's being recontextualized in the form of a dream like uh no reason to think not that but i think you're right that it's um these these remembering these significant moments because they're coming into play significantly in his life now like the advice is becoming very practically used uh the evil is defeated hassan just got banned off twitch for copyright infringement well he'll be back it's all right i think there's only temporary yeah they'll never you know they'll never you know despite all he said and all he's done they'll never get rid of them as i cried again was the ending credit us in the mural i do i do really love that's my favorite that's my favorite part of the game was the ending mural the original prophecy i thought it was changed supposedly done by agribota after ragnarok to show credit has changed his future his fate um they do show the um the sort of the mural itself the first two pain panels are of a particular art style and the third one changes significantly and it looks a lot more like agribota's drawings i think the implication being that he has indeed changed his future uh it wasn't that way the first time around us or rather it wasn't going to be that way if he didn't absorb the lessons that he got because this thing fey was very motivated to to give him what he needed to put him on a different path right and a lot of it comes in the form of telling him some stuff to really really think about and then use as he approaches all the events he does in the two games the game's so good rags will never play it it's not so good that all it's so good that as if they're linked it's just i don't have a ps5 maybe one day you'll by the time you fucking consider getting one the ps6 will come out yeah i just i'm i'm probably just not going to buy a console because i just don't think i'll ever end up playing it got my hands full as it is when an animal is wounded it must stop the bleeding or it will die and this this is a distraction actual therapy thanks massives hi doggy hello there's a lot of very inspirational and meaningful lines that can help you out day to day but i'm for a lot of the greatest media be really helpful this just says and or well perhaps in the future more would you consider making an unbridled praise presumably they're talking about god of war agnoraw it would be it wouldn't be an unbridled praise it would be like a full breakdown there'd be so much to talk about take forever but uh hopefully the three e-faps come in some form of a praise i suppose in keeping with today's theme hades too is woke because the main character is a woman ew they allow them to be in games now disgusting when will the madness end i'll believe it they should be ambient npcs or vendors at most i remember when the metroid series went woke or like what was a girl oh wow really yeah so embarrassed for them and yet you know lord long bong of mewabschlington abbey is there any good chance of a kong fap of peter jackson's long kong when there's less going on there'll be a movie fap for the ages ps the world wags these riches for the good boy hello and thank you i think so that sounds like a neat idea maybe when there's less going on maybe when there's less going on yeah which is which is later it's not now not now what's going on now i'm creating my first graphic novel the premises three children of the mad queen are banished from the first castle they must redeem themselves by killing the prince in the second castle uh this is one of two but i can't see any two of twos oh well that's just an open-ended story who knows oh one of them wants to go straight for the kill the other wants to prevent a war from happening the third is conflicted if the redemption is worth it okay well sounds interesting best of luck go nuts graphic novels are pretty neat uh fringy talk about elephants for three minutes i could give it a try but more than i'd get some facts wrong something i do know was the elege uh i was about to i was i was combining elephants and intelligent i don't know what he's talking about elephants three minutes they are emotionally complex animals as far as i can tell well no but they actually are well i guess the rancor is too maybe that's true this is like the rancor is there anything in an elephant's brain that we could uh um oh oh is there like any juice in the elephant's brain that would like it's like glowing juice yeah exactly i don't think so um but but as far as uh as i understand it yeah elephants are among like the most intelligent animals like uh on on the planet they're super duper smart i mean by animal standards i suppose um they are very social they apparently mourn their dead which is very interesting since like very very very few species do that um they can recognize themselves in the mirror which is an interesting one in terms of self record you know like self-awareness yeah though interestingly i know i know that in terms of passing the mirror test dolphins pass it chimpanzees pass it um elephants pass it but also magpies pass it too magpies specifically magpies are smart as fuck well i guess it's interesting that it's a lot of clothes it's very smart well yeah because that that's the thing with crows right and ravens that they're fairly intelligent which is which i know that whole kind of family the saying bird brain it's like well some birds are pretty smart actually it should probably be like lizard brain right because lizards tend to be yeah generally reptiles are not renouncing no one ever says it's smart as a i think the best you get is that serpents are associated with cunning and cleverness right but that's just them hunting right that's instinct rather than long-term planning and strategy well i think that's just like a biblical thing uh as far as i'm aware the serpent right i guess because snakes like to slither around in the grass snake up on things but i mean it's you know a lot of animals do that right like lions cheetahs well what's interesting is that originally the it was a serpent in the garden of Eden it wasn't a snake yeah it was sort of a nondescript kind of scaled creature but eventually serpent became snake and so snake got the association with you know lying being cunning and clever when the reality is that snakes spend like 90 percent of their time just laying in the sun yeah it's like pretty much all reptiles they're very they're often very sedentary a lot of what i mean you know ectotherms are i guess most animals are really like when you think of lions people think of like the the king of you know they don't look at the exciting bits they're the king of the savannah really but yeah they think about the exciting bits rather than sitting around just laying about not doing anything for most of the day animals have that in common with humans yeah pretty much um but i mean in terms of it's i guess it's um it's kind of interesting where those things because because in terms of elephants it's they have big brains obviously in terms of like the size of the brain because of how big they are but the more relevant part is that they have big brains relative to the size of their bodies i believe i believe elephants do i think yeah i think brain relative to the size of the body is is a general indicator for intelligence well i think there's that but there's also the wrinkles because yeah like koala people are doing yeah koalas have very very smooth brains koalas have incredibly smooth brains they try their hardest but they they have super duper smooth brains and as we were saying earlier snake wise uh you know the phrase to speak with a forked tongue is of course another one of those it's snake like you know things it's just yeah that's uh the the the tldr molla was that elephants are emotionally compact complex creatures except they are that's the big thing with elephants elephants are awesome they're really cool there are no dumb questions just easy ones in norway we have a sports ball made of rags called basé say that again hello in norway we have a sports ball made of rags called basé or or bass easse easse i hope when i can get to play this in a year on pc that i will have forgotten all about this game in its moments if not truck coon can help me out hi rags hi um yeah i mean be able to make quite a few sales when it hits yeah i'd imagine um but yeah so that says through part one and two of the ragnarok streams part three i suppose god of war was ruined a video essay now what i hear what's your opinion on fritos isn't them hooked up chips fritos i love fritos i mean they're okay they're fine there's really basic corn chips i mean there's really nothing at all exciting or interesting about them it's not like an impossibility that you could have fray and kratos i just don't like their friends that's what they are they're comrades that's the thing about your opportunities as a writer it's like why why remove the chance that they could just be warriors that respect each other and their interests and their line yep that's i think i mean that's what it is and that's i think that's the way it should remain thoughts on these new pokemon designs morshold palafin and the hero form and espadra okay you're gonna have to hunt these down right i don't i don't know if they're gonna beat the quagsire fish thing uh fringy could you look these ones up yeah like let's collect them and then let me know sure oh boy what have you brought me little did you know this is the beginnings is when everyone thought things were normal uh night we dine on turtle soup turtle soup what do i know that from what do i know turtle soup from uh okay this one says i need 10 hours of this oh well is this the next quantum tv um same vibes this guy is what people think fnt is same for us i know i think he's there he faves yeah he's the clown person that people think we are uh fellas i've heard your claims that scarlet witch could take on Wakanda but if you consider she is white yikes uh oh not a good look sweetie well very true she could still do it i think the only two points he made i agreed with was the annoying npc not letting you figure out uh puzzles and the unsolved unloosable qte i'd be curious if you uh still feel the same way about the unloosable qte when it's far as i'm concerned not what it is but it doesn't like when it's not a an event you need to press in a certain amount of time that stops it from being a quick time quick time event yeah if you can't lose it and there's no time element that's involved then it's not a qte it's just a press it's just a button prompt it's like saying that enemy is an invincible enemy you can kill like what do you mean it's just something you can kill um i guess we've got our pokemon in order from top to bottom so first one is mouse hold see because it's the household but with mice ain't that cute um yeah um it's cute i don't know what it means though for there to be these four you know it's kind of like the magnet ones how there's like my magnet ton magnet ton or dung trio yeah um the second one there apparently hero form is a thing because like there's a dolphin like as a regular pokemon it's a dolphin but the hero form i guess it turns into that okay yeah i yeah i don't know what to make of that and then the third one there i guess that's meant to be like an ostrich of some sort but kind of like kind of looks like it's got chicken wings up there on it's you know like chicken drumsticks up there yeah it does yeah not a good evolutionary adaptation to have delicious looking drumsticks on your back and then the last one is a robot shark which is probably my favorite of these um there was like a yeah i'm not really a fan of any of these but i guess if i was gonna uh well if i have to pick one that's because i'm compared to claud what was it what was he was uh yeah claud sire nobody's beaten him he's the best one he's great look at him but yeah all of these ones not so great i'm guessing because these must be the new like for the new generation absolute state of working on bringy have you watched the new series mister in between check it out if you haven't and want to love you all and hello rags hello i've been heard of it um more than one woman equals suspicious amount very true be aware of those women they're out there this man infuriates me so much the fact that i don't like taxes and don't like woke stuff means i have to hate god of war because he thinks it's boring what a strange like there's a brand new sentence right there the links are just wild because i don't like taxes i have to hate god of war like what i never knew this about myself being able to understand what's in a video isn't a problem of being a lefty it's a problem of your bias affecting how you interpret things um doesn't matter it's not even left or right it's just biases right like you kind of just said yeah when you see an event take place and you got all this surrounding meta and culture can really fuck up your ability to read it for what sometimes it was just meant to be which it could just be a thing it's that it's that meme right about the um the curtains or something it's like the curtains were purple this represented blah blah blah blah blah and then the office like no they were just purple gotta find a balance i don't blame people for being jaded with so much legitimately woke garbage but you have to read wokeness into god of war ragnarok to come to these conclusions but we saw that we saw what it was looked like it was kind of weird yep very strange all right next fruit of the week is the mark mark fruit which makes the user capable of aiming at whichever target he decides upon from any location at any time with anything with ease basically an aimbot it's even more than an aimbot this is being able to hit things that you don't even know the locations of i guess you could call that an aimbot sort of i think an aimbot is just never missing but this seems to go like even more you know i thought you're gonna mention like it it must teleport things right because if i if i could like for example yeah through a stone in my room and it hit you because that's what is even happening there because even with aimbotting like you have to have a line of sight to your target well it depends on the bot yeah the crazy bots it depends on your yeah i guess you have some of those yeah they're not as common generally it's just it just aims at everybody but the bullets are just normal bullets all right um yes i'll i'll take that in exchange for not swimming fine to me i'm not sure how much use i'll get out of it but you know i think i'll find like like if they're like really really evil terrible people up there like terrorists and stuff oh yeah you could really do something you can make some huge changes to the world couldn't you yeah but that's the kind of power that you just cannot abuse yeah howdy y'all here's some money go buy a good meal from mickey d's called menu and bless your hearts i'd like shoot meant value menu should send on phone oh story sorry i was wondering what menu is talking about in mcdonald's yeah you know menu uh i watch synth and for context he values gameplay above all else the story barely matters to him oh we got the video most of his review was about the story he even said that and his gameplay review portion was awful as well he didn't say anything really he just it was very empty and off the wrong describes mechanics like that was that was it that's not that's not like a review that's on a breakdown rise up sin cells hail synthetic man oh and hi eva in cells itself that's actually sin cells i like how metroid fusion did it with samus losing her abilities to the x parasites and using those against her in boss fights hell the s a x is a copy of your fully powered suit from super metroid um well that's been a variety of different explanations in the metroid games because of course metroid primers you get blasted into a wall yeah that's pretty sure yeah meanwhile like you said yeah the x parasite contextualizing and then samus gets a brand new suit and then you have to deal with the it was the s what they said yeah the s a the clone evil samus coming to get you yeah i'm working on the story for my fifth to be published game and it's a huge step up from my previous stories thanks to your writing advice also haimola all right well i'm glad to hear that yeah good luck hello fucking deep am i crazy for thinking god will ragnarok getting nominated for multiple vgas is a bit unfair the game came out just about a month ago i'm sure it's good but for real um i mean that's it it would either be this year or next year and it was in the eligible window for this year if anything the criticism should be that the game awards do their events in december when they should probably do it in january or february like every other awards thing generally does the golden globes are in january oscars are usually in february and the emmies are usually at the end of the mid season before the the new season begins because it gives like all the stuff of that actual year that calendar year time to uh to be eligible because games are coming out in december they they're next year and by then a lot of people forget about those games and they don't get much consideration or at least it seems that way but i mean ask for it was eligible how long should they have waited well the fact they said like it's only out for months like isn't a month long enough to you know judge it disguise arguments are basically fucking magnets how do they work i don't want to talk to a scientist i don't want to talk to a scientist it is incredibly priceless to have so much of like i don't understand the story will simultaneously be in like fuck the story how do you want to listen to these characters talk yeah and you shouldn't even want to listen to the characters talking but i'm gonna talk about how terrible it is that they're about what they're saying sims 3 and 4 cost well over 1k for all the dlc respectively uh well i guess if you bought it all when they came out but then they usually put them on sour right like the uh isn't there like a isn't there a train simulator train me later dlc comes to someone insane yeah well yeah that sounds about i mean it's it's something that's the same with uh because like city skylines a lot of paradox games will have a shit ton of dlc but the interesting thing is that with a lot of paradox games some of the features that like come coupled with the dlc will just be added to the game for free anyway so like if you play city skylines and you don't have all the expansions you've still received a lot of like new functionality yeah yeah dlc's that come with um with extra yeah like vanilla game update yeah that just like it like a framework update that needs to exist so that the dlc can be there but i mean in terms of the sims because i think the sims the sims 4 has like the most expansion packs of any game it's got like 12 expansion packs and it's got like a ton of game packs as well and stuff packs so there's like more stuff on top of that because i think the sims 4 at this point is eight years old um i wonder if they're ever gonna make another one also christ this guy's channel is some of the most annoying culture war stoking bs i've seen in a while it's getting difficult to give benefit of the doubt to any of these sods seriously anymore um take them all individually listen what they have to say judge for yourself i suppose obviously i wasn't very compelled by his arguments i would be very disappointed in myself if i found it really anything he said approaching compelling boilers i'm out well yeah i mean till you can share enough yeah game fair enough a detail i find cool as freya and boy kill hugan and munan odin summons a spellbook from his bookshelf in the background and goes full wizard mode yeah he pulls it off the uh bookshelf after i think he tries to like fly or sort of doing some kind of move and freya fucks it up and then when he sees them die he's like no because he's coming close to really getting fucked up but he gets the spellbook and he gets like a second wind my moeller and fringy plus he's arrived today hey oh very awesome all right if you like him uh i have loved the dauntless shield very satisfying on mini bosses dealing massive damage on stun makes paring feel like his own play style yeah that's what i really liked about it enjoyed it more once i understood its drawback wasn't clear on it if it yeah my favorite weapon was fists with the poison damage buff from lunda's armor of how it lowered the level of of often enemy also the armor look neat i didn't even know that was a thing i have to um look into that poison had damage buff on the fists with lunda's armor play every fire emblem game leading up to fe engage any fire emblem i played i played uh awakening and three houses but i didn't beat either of them um sorry i don't think i played the one that they were asking about i've played i i beat i played and beat the first two um on an emulator for the game boy i they're like fire emblem and sacred stones i think i played path of radiance i think i beat it the game cube one i think there was another that i started sounds like you played all the ones that came before like awakening kind of reinvented popularize that series because like otherwise it would just through smash brothers really there was a ds one that i played uh were you you like made a character who was a part of the story um oh it maybe that maybe you did play awakening that one was on three ds yeah that's that's what i played it on yeah um i might but i just don't remember too much about them other than they were fine uh i some of your units were just insanely op and i guess that was they're sort of supposed to be but i thought there was fine games um yeah i think they're fine games i never you know i never got into them but they were good you know strategy games to play so um this is in caps lock i feel like shouting but i'll just go synthetic man is in chat invite him on to defend himself well once you got to see those other clips especially the one about his plans for if he ever got on to um the call with us probably imagine weren't exactly interested it's uh it's uh it's one yeah pretty foul guy pretty foul guy i think people maybe misunderstood our our approach with like having people on it's not like some kind of open invite to literally anybody including satan even though i'd be interested to talk to satan it was a real thing um if you like overtly say you can't wait to just chill over us and literally use words that can fucking get the channel banned it's just like oh well then we're not gonna have you on pretty straightforward um he's also a really like harsh piece of shit so um yeah there's there's not really any reason besides he wouldn't be said he's not interested anyway so yeah we know he's just chasing clout trying to get an audience um and he would just do nothing but it's all yeah there's just no reason for it he's a foul person uh why compare athenians to the draugers if they're the same creature what if the north's common enemies are way tougher than greek soldiers i'm sure uh why why would you you just assume they are right uh the the drauger like these reanimated monster mythic creature things versus an athenian soldier yeah they're just regular guys so if you're pointing out like yeah he killed a whole bunch of a athenian slash rodians um so why is he having trouble with a skeleton that was a bizarre argument i think he says it's also really more so down to the player as is the conclusive argument the canon version is that kratos doesn't have trouble with a lot of these enemies the play well the canon version between avid dies that's for sure i'll come to video games pretty much yeah do you think doomslayer like doom guy sorry he ever died to like a random skeller man yeah with him or something no it's like zero nade's coffee said right like a random fireball it's not just gonna like that didn't happen but if you're shit of the game yeah but it's non-canon so it's okay that's just your that's just your experience with that story mr fringles i recently found the youtube channel casual geographic and thought of you have you seen his content or could he actually be you in disguise thus uh i presume he's australian i haven't heard of casual geographic though yeah i don't know who that is is kratos wonder woman's cuz why i don't know is kratos cuz i'm sorry what was that and like is he oh because is it because of like aries and everything and like because there's all the the oh yeah right like wait who's wait who was her dad though was it zoos or who was it implied to be zoos i can't remember no but then they wouldn't be cousins then they'd be siblings yeah brother step brother no well just regular half brother brother half brother sister yeah there are lots of people who just want tragic endings people wanted berserk to end at the golden age arc people are just weird some people are weird i'm gonna assume that i don't know what the golden age arc is is that it like but that's not too strange for people to want things to end up there at the end of their golden age right that surely can't be maybe i'm misinterpreting what he's saying i don't know anything about berserk so i don't even know what happened in that remember the guy that said armor is for weaklings remember what kratos did to his face i think it's just a really weird argument to say like it makes you a weaker person to have armor be fine without it or whatever yeah that's just not true kratos is clearly weaker now because he wears armor i just think interpretation especially with the armor giving him like amazing magical benefits also cover yatsi's god of war 2018 it's time to coin a new term for cinematic linear adventure games and how about we stop adding gear sources and cosmetics into every game oh gear scores and cosmetics sorry if you're covering the god of war ragnarok video um we have a cover if we have a cover to yatsi video i don't think we have i don't think so now i don't feel like that would be like good coverage really like i'm not i i feel like um the format that yatsi uses to do his uh reviews is like not super compatible really no and a lot of it is very casual and quick and a lot of it's super joke related like he's he's describing the game in deliberately stranger ways in order to have payoffs for jokes well yeah and there's usually some like broader statements being made about uh about the industry through certain games rather than like a hyper focus on on each individual yeah what pantheon would y'all be most interested in kratos taking on personally i want to see us explore a mishmash of hindu gods and buddhism yeah it'd be egyptian yeah it's easily easily egyptian for me i don't have any real interest at all on the indian or the hindu pantheon i'm happy for them to do anything they choose but if i somehow got the choice it would yes it doesn't matter there are accessibility options for colorblind people i guess they're making fun of his ability to solve things did the cast realize that with the first berserker he dropped the difficulty to easy to beat him he did not have the skill to beat him how does anyone think he raised the difficulty back to hard for the rest of the game oh i don't i i didn't remember if that had happened or not i i just i was too distracted by the whole like it's mandatory it's clearly not then he says well that doesn't change my point at all which is like uh i feel like it does that was some hyper cope i don't think there's ever been more cope than when he said wait i was wrong about that fact well you're autistic for remembering it yeah this is actually a character flaw on you because you noticed me being factually wrong it's like earn your place you were uh in terms of enemies returning many think that halo got worse when it ditched the flood in favor of the prometheans yeah uh yeah it did because prometheans suck and i don't even let her great calm down then they're coming in a better great yeah we've had this discussion yeah they're great but uh well flutter a mixed bag it depends on which game we're talking about but i mean the flood are definitely better than the prometheans the prometheans have a lot of like very fundamental design flaws i'm pretty sure the act man would have i i'm sure it was like when he did his coverage of a halo four something that he highlighted was um one of the the cool thing about the covenant is that because each uh each enemy feels a certain role in the battlefield gives you a lot of options for how you want to dispatch them um like you know there's no there's no clearly better strategy at any given moment it's more of a matter of different play styles depends on what weapons you have but the problem with the prometheans is that there was a there was an order there was a correct order in which to take them out you need to get rid of the flying one first because that one can resurrect dead enemies get shields it grabs your grenades and throws them at you there is never a good reason not to take them out first whereas there may be a good reason to take out the grunts before you take out the elite or vice versa there may be a good reason to deal with the sniper jackals first before you want to you know handle the ones that are close up and then like the knights teleporting everywhere is really annoying means that really you need to fall back on long range weapons constantly there just wasn't that much variety because i think it was just the there was the night the ones that run around the dogs like and then there was the floater and i think that was it i think there were legitimately only like three promethean enemy types it's like man that's not that's not good enough um yeah compared to there are more kinds of brutes alone yeah exactly because you've got different kinds of jackals you've got different kinds of brutes you got different kinds of elites because even with the elites you've got like the basic elites and then you go up with like captains it was the same with the brutes and they get different weapons as they go up um and i mean and if you boil it down to base enemy types with the covenant you've got a leech jackals grunts uh you've got the the brutes you've got um the uh i can't believe i cannot believe i'm forgetting their names i can't believe it the big guys oh my god i can't believe i've forgotten them the big guys no not the glorms i can't believe it what the hunters yes oh my god yeah you got the hunters um and then you had engineers as well get added in later on yeah and uh and then you got the you got the flying enemies too i think they have different names depending on which region you're in so yeah like the variety and yeah the premiere things were just not uh they were not a suitable substitute for the covenant for the flood rather and compared to the covenant like yeah there's a reason why everybody wants to fight the covenant they're the most fun ones they've consistently been the most entertaining ones to fight they're the backbone of the halo enemies pretty much um i think it'd be safe to say that basically the core of that game is designed around encounters with the covenant basically every game i'd say so just haters no yeah yeah so this just says lies could be about a lot of things i don't know what that would have made in relation sir who among you will subscribe to markiplier's only fans nah me so i saw that was set up and my first reaction was like what the fuck i found out apparently it's for charity oh all right that's what that's a nice thing to do could on him i mean at that point i was just like oh oh okay that works out sure it still seems really strange right because he's like i don't know i um i guess i don't know what he's posting on there exactly only fans is a i mean boogie has an only fan this is a weird world we live in this just says maybe he needs to get good wings quarter of the day wife tells him to cheerfully tells him cheerfully to smile and enjoy life he's playing card bye i can't stand it when people tell me to enjoy life i know isn't it it's just unbearable oh man so this is what it looks like to watch a Bethesda NPC player game a little bit yeah he gets some get some insights from that stream of his appreciate all the god of war stuff looks like lots of fun to watch sweet that is good to hear because it's not just um hopefully it's not just like us having fun talking about a thing we like it's also like uh entertaining for you guys to consume as well as you know maybe learn a bit about something that you otherwise probably wouldn't have been interested in this is dsp minus the snorting and scat fetish is dsp of a thing i have i have got no clue i am not the i'm not the guy to ask for that uh so appreciate no no wait uh this man is why games are getting dumber every day i mean you know it seems like it's just jokes but it's just like why do you think we have these things in games devs see that shit and they out of they got to solve it because a lot of players if they have the experience synthetic man does and they have no monetary reason to continue they'll just be like you know what this isn't fun i'm leaving and then the devs are like fuck we should have the npc help them and then what if they do and it works this is why things end up this way um that's that that's also by the way the explanation for why there's like hyper annoying overt exposition in in movies and storytelling some people aren't picking it up we need more like you'll find this that's what a lot of uh ad r stuff is like further explaining character motivations thanks to people don't get it and all that happened because they had a test screening and some guy was like wait why did the thing happen and they're like oh then uh what was it something's gonna yeah indiana jones is getting his whole ending reshot apparently oh gee yeah apparently this was found out because of john williams he was saying that he's like he was in some place something to talk about the music and he's waiting to do the work for for the the ending that they're redoing that's great that's not that's not awesome no they shot an ending i get wow yeah yeah reshoots i guess which i happen but it's a whole ending hmm i wonder how this massive would fare in elden ring apparently he i don't know if he streamed all of it but he's played it so play zelda tears of a kingdom when it comes out tears of the kingdom uh you'll be playing that right yeah i'll play that for sure actual knuckle dragon makes gamers look bad a little bit uh rewatching buffy and angel wish we had more time with character though remember great payoff at that other point non-spoiler thoughts on said character um i'm obsessed with not giving anything away they are they this this character that is being referenced is pretty great uh for the time you get to know them and it's unfortunate what happened to this person in real life that fed into what happens to them in the show uh pretty sure they are a fan favorite for a lot of people rather quickly good stuff you'll hear more about it uh eventually more help when i catch a glimpse of a close-up of a trace i think i'm looking at lord miles of afghanistan and i can't unsee it who's that oh he's he was a guy who i don't even know where to begin he's a guy who went out and does stuff i don't even know how to really start um i don't i'm not familiar enough with his face to assign it to atreus it certainly didn't come to my mind all right get out these bloody things are everywhere they'
