to get a new thing.
Because there's a couple new pyro weapons
that are actually pretty sick.
Ah, nice.
There's a jet pack.
There's, oh my gosh, I'm on blue.
Now I got auto-balanced.
That's a bit.
Okay.
New item acquired.
Cool.
Oh, nice.
Let's do a duel since I got auto-balanced.
If you hit J on that
or the accept button,
now it's going to be...
Whoever gets the most kills on the other person by the end of the game wins.
Okay.
And you'll have a little, I'll have a thing over me.
Oh, oh, geez.
Got them crids.
Oh, no.
Oh, you're using the reserve shooter?
That one got super, super nerfed as well.
Did it?
Well, yeah.
You did.
Yeah.
It used to be any time you're off of the ground, so you could be jumping and it would do many crits on you.
But now it's you have to air blast or do rocket against the person.
Oh, that's annoying.
Yeah, I mean, it was kind of broken, and it was one of the weapons that people were complaining about the most.
But, you know, as a pyroman, I thought it was perfectly fine, you know?
Yeah, it was a bunny hop and there you go.
Perfect, it's a perfect weapon.
Ooh, there's going to be a spy over here.
Yep, there we go.
I forgot that I was on blue for a sec.
Mm-hmm.
You got the bag.
Oh, I didn't realize you guys were about to win.
This is not a study for me.
Oh, no, we have two points.
Yeah, you only have one point.
That's right.
Come on.
Come on.
Just claim it.
There we go.
All right.
I must protect the briefcase now.
Mm-hmm.
Come and get me.
I'll be waiting.
A fucking spy.
It's in the base.
You got to kill his ass.
Yeah, got him.
I should just be right here.
Oh, actually not right there because...
Hello.
Oh, yeah, ooh.
Yeah.
Wow.
Oh, wait, I actually don't care the blast.
I'm annoying that it counts, uh, assists is points, but we both got assists on each other.
That's kind of funny.
Yeah.
Ian, do you have some sort of logo or branding?
I don't.
Okay.
Should make one for me.
Yeah.
Okay, I mean, I can't.
Just something to have Grock come up with something.
What'd you say?
Have Grock come over something.
Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.
It's actually a good idea.
Oh, shit.
I won.
Wow.
Cheating.
I switch off the back burner.
Who else I got on my team here?
Oh, geez, oh, geez.
Oh, I just saw something to go over here.
I wish I had the back burner on again, because...
I'm right behind this person.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
Got him?
Oh, I just got a jetpack.
Oh, no, no.
Oh, the jetpack is really nice.
Especially because you could carry the intelligence with it,
which is something you can't do with the rocket jumper or the sticky jumper.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Hey, lots of kills there.
Wow, four and two, I'm not doing good here.
Oh, I die there, oh geez.
This is game more than I have, like, 10 times.
I'm more than that, 2,000 hours.
Can I say that again?
Oh yeah, yeah.
I've got, if I do this, I have a total of, let me check on Steam real quick.
Yeah.
I've been a lot of hours in this game. It's kind of crazy.
5,615 hours.
Fuck.
Jesus.
Yeah.
I'm nowhere near that.
Like two, something, $200, maybe.
$300, 300, yeah.
Ish.
Yeah, back when I was in college, this was all I used to do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
God damn century.
Who are you guys going to win?
Oh, this guy's a goober.
Oh, 2025 Russia.
Oh, yeah.
G.G.
Nice.
I love this part where you just chase people down and burned them to death.
Oh yeah, the victory kills.
So funny.
So evil.
Yeah.
It is.
I haven't made him a vote for a while.
Not ridiculous.
Sometimes that breaks still.
Really?
Wow.
What a shock.
I'm saying, you know, they only got two people working on this game.
The potted plant and then Robin Walker.
Damn.
Who minds?
They had a Dialvo 3 when they had like one guy working on it.
On Diablo 3?
Yeah.
That's insane.
Yeah, because they like, you know, they scrapped the whole team and had them working on D4.
And this one guy, the dude who went to Blisscon and he said, don't you guys have phones?
Oh, when he was talking about, what is it, Immortal?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a good game, too.
I played...
Yeah, I thought it made sense on the phone.
You know, the microchrane Jackson, of course, are annoying, but, like, Diablo is a game that you...
The controls are super simple.
Yeah.
You know?
It's just sort of built for the phone because it's honestly better than Diablo 4 in a lot of ways.
It's just much more persistent.
There's more stuff to farm for.
Like you actually want to spend time in it versus Diablo 4.
It's like, you know, every season just resets and just there's something new and hit or miss.
But Immortals is actually pretty well designed.
The Chinese team behind it, they did a really good job.
So I don't know why people are shitting on it, you know?
It's like, I wish they'd update the graphics.
That'd be fucking cool as hell.
They put D4 graphics in there?
Wow.
Oh yeah, especially now because everybody has phones that can run like high,
kind of demanding games on your mobile now.
That's right, and Diablo 4 doesn't really have that amazing graphics anyway.
They could easily run on an iPhone.
Oh, yeah.
That's one I didn't really get too big into.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was ugly, and half of Exalt looks better.
It's a better game.
Like, way better game.
The other one that I was kind of hyped for, but didn't really get too much into,
was the Elder Scrolls one that was on your phone.
I forget what that one was called.
But I remember everybody was not happy about that.
Yeah.
I was kind of trash.
I played a little bit of it, like, when it launched, because it was super hyped up, but...
I didn't get too far into it.
Wow.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Ooh.
I need a health pack.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
I like those cosmetics.
That's actually kind of cool.
I'm not skating.
I'm dying.
I think Dennis is stopping me.
So the biggest reason I like Diablo 3 or Diablo Immortal is the, is the classes.
Um, the Crusader.
So cool.
Why don't they have that in Diablo?
You know?
Don't see.
Yeah.
I definitely need to go and re-download Immortal.
Yeah.
It's a good game.
And the quest, you know, the weeklies and stuff, they're really fun.
They're fast and you've got nothing else to do.
You're just sitting in a doctor's office or something.
Just play some Diablo Immortal.
Of course, yeah.
I used to be back in, like...
What was it, uh, 2016, 2017, really big into mobile stuff because of the, uh, the Pokemon Go craze.
Mm-hmm.
That, that was right when I was in college, so I was switching between that and Team Fortress.
Yeah.
Uh, when it was, like, super popular.
I'm still good at Pyro.
I mean, to be honest, it's not hard to be good at Pyro.
He's got the...
Yeah, I'm just like...
He's the lowest skill floor, but probably one of the highest skill ceilings, I think,
because there's a lot of really interesting stuff you can do with him,
especially in the ways of, like, flare jumps and stuff.
Yeah.
Maybe you want to message me in Discord.
I think he's locked in right now.
There you go.
A little too fast, but I survived.
I wish I knew how to speak Russian because I have no idea what that says.
Yeah!
Someone screamed Blyat. That's fucking hilarious.
Where's that helicopter?
Well, that's about the only thing in Russian that I do know.
Alright, yes, somebody's screaming Bliat.
Yeah, that's so fucking funny.
You hear that a lot in CSGO?
Oh, I switch the team, son of a bitch.
Who?
Challenge me.
Super study. Yep.
That's your jade.
Somebody's waiting right outside of your spawn door to snipe.
Fun.
Hey, what, what?
No, no, no, no, no.
No, somebody else take it.
Heavy's grabbing the case.
Covered in pissed.
Super annoying, bro.
Oh, because somebody's got the Sydney sleeper over here.
You had the piss rifle.
Yeah.
That one's so bad, though.
Why wouldn't you just grab the jar of piss?
I don't know.
Why is that even a thing, by the way?
A piss thing.
I mean, I know the answer for it, but why is it a thing?
Well, you know, because Sniper's kidneys are just so big
that he goes through a lot of stuff.
Oh, gosh.
Man, I remember when the Flodgistinator used to be the most annoying thing to deal with.
I used it all the time.
Oh, I did back in the day, but now I'm not a big fan of it, because I absolutely need air blast.
Where are you at?
Are you on the little spawn or the big spawn?
I'm dead.
Well, if you spawn on the little spawn, I'm going to do rock paper scissors.
Okay.
Walk up to me and just press...
Oh, sorry, killing me, never mind.
I was right by your resupply, but then I just got killed.
I was doing the rock paper scissors taunt.
Waiting for somebody to come out.
Yeah.
But then they blew me up.
Oh, Jesus, Jesus.
Let me get out.
Let me get out.
Let me get down.
Let me get down.
There's a missed input.
There's a missed input.
fuck.
You got me.
Go ahead.
35 HP left.
I could have gone either way there.
Son of a bitch.
Wow.
Oh, we got a lot of people spawn camping you.
Yep.
If you spawned by the big door, just like change your class and change it back real quick and Tiel's spawned toward the little door.
No, he's always on something.
It's just why it's like, he's a smart guy.
I like what he says generally, but man, like sometimes he's just like eager to take offense at things, you know?
Like he's just looking for something new to be offended by something woke.
Yeah, which those kind of people, you know.
Just knee-jerk reactions there, you know.
Of course, of course, but you know, sometimes you got to learn to just like realize that things are not that deep.
No, like he got super upset with Kingdom Come Deliverance too.
And because I forget exactly why he got upset with it.
But it was just so dumb.
Like he was saying the game was woke because it had like a gay sex scene or something, which is by the way is completely optional.
And it's an RPG.
Oh, I think I remember that.
Yeah, and some guys are like, well, the real, you know, character was 12 years old,
and the fact that you have sex gender makes this pedophilia.
Why do you support pedophilia?
It's like, shut the fuck up.
The character is 27 years old in the game, okay?
Like, give me a break.
It's not a child.
It's really not a goddamn child.
You can play it and see it's not a child.
And it's like, how can you call it pedophilia?
Because what the real character is based on is a 12-year-old?
Like, okay.
Like, you realize, right?
Yeah.
It's such a study.
It's just like so ridiculous to find like every little thing you get offended over, especially in games because it's like, you know, okay, just don't buy it, you know, just don't play it. It's fine.
Is it plenty of games that I, there's some things in it that I'm not really a big fan of, so I just don't buy it.
But I'm not going over here and shouting from the rooftops.
You know, this game sucks.
Nobody should buy it.
I'm so fucking offended.
It just makes you sound like a child.
Ridiculous.
No, you should back it through that.
Exactly.
I need a heel.
Oh, boy.
Me too.
Me too.
Getting out of there.
I saw you die and I had to run away, but I was not spared.
There's a turret there.
I got to blast it and then...
I think I'm going to switch to spy here.
I got my Assassin's Creed hood on.
Nice.
I don't actually like the bigger.
You know, like Mirage was good.
And I'm actually playing that game right now, right, Mirage?
And it's like a return to form, like this is what Assassin Scree is all about, you know, it's just better, you know, it's like, okay, like, okay, they understand what makes a good Assassin Screet game, and then they come out with Shadows.
And it's like, guys, what?
Why did you regress?
Yeah, super ridiculous.
I think all we really need from them is just a remaster of either Syndicate or Black Flag.
Yeah.
Yeah, both of those are fantastic.
I would go for both, yeah.
Yeah.
I do Unity, too.
It has the best parkwear in it.
Oh, I didn't play Unity.
And honestly, the best story.
Oh, yeah, it's really good.
It's really good.
Genuinely, for a lot of people,
people slept on that game, you know,
because there's just so many Assassin Screens back then,
and people are excited.
Yeah, it was kind of the fatigue of, you know,
every year was Assassin's Creed games.
Yeah.
And four was great, but then they had like two or three different expansion packs for it.
And they were like standalone games, right?
Like there was the Freedom's Cry and there was the one that's like you play as a Templar and it was okay.
But it was still just more of the same.
And then there was the, I forget the name of it, where you play Abilene, the Black Woman.
And that was just sort of crap.
So people are tired of it and then Unity came out and people just slept on it and remember there were those bugs of the eyes, you know, just the Skullet Show.
And people were like, they fixed it in like two months, but you know, just never managed to live its bad reputation because people thought it sucked.
But it actually is really, really good.
And they only recently like, I would say two months ago, updated it to run on the PlayStation 5 at 60 fBS.
Oh, wow.
Wow, just recently.
That's crazy.
Yeah, it is really difficult to like recover from a botched launch, but a couple of games have done it.
And it takes years.
Like, I think, uh, what was the really big one from, uh, Hello Games?
Uh, there was like, oh, yes, no man sky.
Yeah, that one was, it's actually apparently a pretty good game now, but, you know, for years and years, it was like the biggest rug pull in video games.
Mm-hmm.
Because it was terrible. It was awful at launch. There was nothing in it. It was just empty. The promises were just not kept. And people called them liars. You know, I feel bad for the developer because he obviously put a lot of work into it. And everyone's just shitting on him. But, you know, he...
He posted through it, so to speak, right?
He just kept posting, he just kept working on it.
And it's free.
The updates are free.
Like, holy shit, nobody asked, did you make it for free?
They could have easily sold DLC.
Like, all these expansions that they've been adding.
They added the base expansion, the AI expansion.
They added vehicles, multiplayer.
Like, it's all free.
That's insane.
Like, Sony has just been supporting this game for, for nothing, right?
Absolutely, which is super, super insane.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You don't see that.
Often, you know, developers just cut their losses like, you know, Concord or something.
We're dead after week.
Oh, oh, yeah.
Concord was a really big rugpole.
But, you know, it's very clear that those developers of No Man Sky were very passionate about the game that they were building.
And that, you know, was obviously going to shine through.
after they'd just continued to develop on it.
I feel like the same was true for like cyberpunk,
because that was a really big disappointment at launch as well.
Yeah, it's terrible.
It's a bad game.
But now it's actually a good game,
but a good story, and people started to realize,
okay, the story's not bad.
People stop shitting on it.
Hunt was another one, Hunt 1886.
Oh, I didn't get into that one.
It's, yeah, it's like
PubG, right?
So, but better.
That game was at a terrible launch.
Yeah.
PubG got a lot of hate kind of a couple of months after it got super, super popular because people had discovered that it was an asset flip and they pre-bought the assets, which was, I mean, you know, sometimes you can't build all the assets in house, so like, who cares?
It was a good game. People enjoyed it, but it was one. I didn't know that it was only one guy who got that.
They are known as one dude. Yeah, one guy who made it.
That's insane.
We bought a lot of the assets.
Yeah.
And now it's been like completely overshadowed by Fortnite.
Except for I think still in Asia, it's pretty big.
Yep.
Big Chinese servers.
The Chinese kind of fucked up the game for a lot of people because they would team up against every non-Chinese person, which is really funny.
They would all wear red shirts.
So whenever you see a red shirt, you realize, okay, their Chinese are going to work together.
That's actually insane.
Yeah, people got so mad about it and they had to like, you know, people were asking for them to region lock it and all sorts.
Crazy.
They're like China number one, you know, and it would stick together, kill everybody else first and then play the game.
I love those kind of stories. That's hilarious.
It only happens in video games.
You know, this is...
It's something new.
It's a new medium.
Nobody understands it.
And no one's really talking about it.
You know, like, you'll have maybe a YouTuber talk about it.
But in general, the media's just sleeping on it.
The media's fucking stupid.
They still think video games are for children.
And the median age is like 35.
Absolutely.
And the...
A lot of video game stuff is not taken as seriously as some of this other stuff, like, especially in preservation.
Video game preservation is essentially down to a couple of hobbyists, you know, instead of like libraries and media, like we have for film and books and all these other things and songs.
And stuff just goes missing because storefronts disappear.
Absolutely. Storefronts disappear. Servers go offline.
You know, and then games that are beloved by potentially millions are just unplayable now, which is a really sad state of affairs.
It is.
A lot of hobbyists, though, are really, really kind of making strides in this by recreating servers and bringing up a lot of things.
One thing was like when Flash.
Yeah.
Roonscape definitely. Team Fortress 2 has Team Fortress 2 classic now, which is restoring the game to its original launch date.
There was a really big project for, yep, none of the updates.
There's a really big project for when Flash was going to shut down to archive all of the Flash games and then create a new compatibility layer.
Yeah, that was a really big one.
And then there's also people...
Go ahead.
No, you go first.
I was just a really big community of people
who still collect a lot of physical media
and preserve them in like, you know,
the same way that you would, like, film reels.
Yep.
They even go as far as, like, collecting the beta versions,
you know, that are on, like, gold masters.
So, you know, sometimes the gold master's
completely different from the day one release, right?
Yeah.
Oh, absolutely. And I've definitely done that for a lot of my favorite games and my favorite franchises.
I have a lot of the obscure kind of pre-updated things that, you know, are kind of rare to find now.
Ooh, geez.
I love the fact that there's a lot of old, like, I mean, there's this huge community that is making old games new again, you know, like just modding the crap out of it, adding HDR support.
To the point where the companies themselves will reach out to these creators and be like, hey, can we implement your DLSS stuff in our game, you know?
So a good example of that is control, right? Control came out a few years ago. It's a remedy game, super good. People slept on it, but it's actually really good. It's like SCP, right, the story.
Yeah.
Um, somebody made a version of that game, uh, with like DLSS3 support and they added
HDR and like a whole bunch of stuff and you have to download it and it's just such a pain.
So I think remedy just sort of took all of that stuff that work that this guy put into it and,
you know, asked them for it, I guess. And oh, I captured the intelligence. Nice.
They took all of that and they added DLSS4 support as well.
So Control just came out with a patch like last week and it just fucking looks stunning.
Because I was trying to play it on my 50-80 before this patch came out with that guy's patch and it looked okay, but a lot of issues.
It was still kind of laggy and it couldn't run at 4K.
Even if I down sampled it to 2560 by 1440, it just was just not great, but it looked nice.
And then this new patch comes out as DLSS4 and all of these other additions.
And it just fucking looks like a new game.
Like, holy shit.
This game's like maybe less than five years old.
But they edited it and it's now, it's like, holy crap.
Control looks so good.
It's absolutely insane what some dedicated players are able to do and able to accomplish.
And those kind of stories are like really inspiring and really like, I guess, kind of heartwarming.
Like how somebody just...
They love a game so much that they build something for it and eventually turns into something much bigger for the entire community and for the companies.
Another one that was really good was this guy was trying to make Sonic 1 or Sonic 2.
One of the Sonic games recreated very faithfully with some new additions and better graphics.
And Sega actually hired him to make Sonic Mania a couple years ago.
Yeah.
Which was super, super cool.
And Sonic Mania is one of the best modern Sonic games, you know.
Yeah.
Bethesda has also been doing a good job interacting with the community.
You know, anyone who's like modded Skyrim, their mods got added to the anniversary edition.
They got paid for it.
Yeah.
Which is awesome because it makes it like almost a new game.
And it's old at this point.
But still, it's like...
It's pretty cool.
Of course, but every time you play through Skyrim, it's always new,
because there's always, you know, 10, 20, 100 different mods to apply to it.
It's kind of like Minecraft, you know.
Nice like Sandbock's venture.
Yep.
The point that I've never even completed Skyrim, I've played around with a lot of mods.
But, you know, I never went through the entire game.
Yeah, same.
Yeah.
I feel like that's something I definitely got to rectify though, because Skyrim is just such an iconic experience.
Yeah.
The point where it's even more well known than the actual franchise Elder Scrolls, which is crazy.
Yeah.
I think it's one of those games that, you know, even though there was a franchise that existed before,
people didn't play the rest of it, right?
Their first experience with the Elder Scrolls was Skyrim.
Oh, absolutely.
To a smaller extent, Morwin was the same way for people who bought that game in like 2002,
you know, like...
For me, it was like, yeah, I only know more.
I don't know Elder Scrolls or whatever, like all the previous ones.
Daggerfall, part of it never played it, right?
And so Skyrim is just so big.
And I think the next one will probably be the next one.
I mean, like, it will be the next Skyrim.
People won't say the Elder Scrolls or Skyrim too.
They'll say whatever that is, you know?
Like, I don't even know where it's set.
Do we know yet?
Is it Hammerfall or something?
Yeah.
I'm not sure, let me check that out here as soon as I get to...
Yeah.
Oops, sent back to the respawn screen. Here we go.
I just got set to hell.
Oh boy, I just opened up, uh,
bringing Google Chrome and saw the charts of my B&B coins.
This is not good.
Hmm.
What was I? Elder Schools.
What is it coming out?
2026?
Is it?
No way.
A fucking way.
I'll say
28 is more realistic.
Do we don't have a release date
for Elder Scroll 6 yet?
Let's see.
Yeah, we have GTA 6 coming out this year.
Oh, that's gonna be nice.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So it says here,
2026 or later.
Hmm.
Probably or later, no and Todd.
Yeah.
But hey, we'll get Skyrim for the PS6, though.
Yeah, it'll be nice.
Of course.
Do you remember when the GTA 6 kind of like an early build footage leaked online and everybody was saying that it looked so horrible and the game is going to be terrible?
Yeah, remember that, yeah.
Silly.
That whole thing I think was like super, super crazy.
And I realized that like people don't really know anything about game development or anything.
Because of course something that's gray boxed is going to look...
unfinished because it literally is.
Yeah.
And that's what the game looks like for, you know, 90% of its development.
Yeah.
Like they're going to use placeholder assets.
The models are not going to be properly mocapped.
The textures, obviously, it's just placeholders.
It's just nothing in there.
Absolutely.
Because, you know, at the early stages, the most important thing is the actual gameplay.
So people are working on building how the game moves and controls.
Mm-hmm.
But they don't understand that.
If you were to show them what games look like at a very basic state,
they'll be like, what is this?
It's just a bunch of boxes moving around.
Yeah.
Kind of what it is.
Yeah, it's...
It makes you kind of realize things because like I've been in the industry and I you know
Have studied this stuff and so there's definitely a lot of fields and definitely a lot of things that I don't know how the sausage is made and I would be kind of
Concerned for seeing it because I don't fully understand it. Yeah
I worked in the the game industry for a while in 2006. Oh, where at?
Uh, do you know flagship studios? Um, that was the spin-off, well, not spin-off. The guys who made Diablo, they went and made their own thing. Um, they had a bunch of partners. I was working at one of their partners. They're one of their partner publishers in Singapore. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, that's right, because you were in, uh, Malaysia for a while. Yeah, I moved to Spore, looked there for a few years, and that's where I was working, yeah.
one of the ogres from Shrek 4 and it's just a replacement for the stock for any class
but I really love it because I hold it and I just got an ogre
nice oh I didn't realize it was already 130 yeah I think that might do it for me here
yeah same honestly fired all right disconnecting oh it might be like what around
noonish for you 11 a.m.?
Oh, no, it's golf standard time?
927.
And I have to wake up in like four hours.
So, probably should...
Oh, wow, wow.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, it was a great time playing with you.
Yep.
Yeah, we should definitely do this again sometime.
Yep.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't see anything I need to change.
Honestly, it looks really good from what I can see.
Thank you.
I see how to...
Exit this stream on on Twitch.
