SPEAKER_04 1:36

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:38

This is my this is my ranting wig. Let's do it that way.

SPEAKER_03 1:42

Okay. Okay. Alright. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:47

So little bullet, we get to listen to a bunch of retards as soon as they tune in the fucking podcast. All right. Alright, so let's get to uh we're just gonna we're not going over Docket. We're not going over anything today, Grant. We're just gonna go straight to it. We got a lot of news to catch up on, Ed. Alright, so first thing is the Wolverine game, Insomniac. Yeah. Insomniac's Wolverine. Holy shit.

SPEAKER_04 2:16

It is Garbaggio.

SPEAKER_02 2:18

It is, well, uh we don't know. I mean, we have no one's the the community hasn't played it yet, right? Yeah. But everything we're getting from it is a straight up garbage. Yeah, it just looks like shit, dude. Trash. All right, so let me share my screen real quick so we can go down our bookmarks. Let's see. X. X. There we go. Alright. Grant. First things first. Let's go up here. Alright. Let's talk about something real quick. Alright, so you got people like this clown. I'm not gonna get into too much into them. But you got this clown grant. Alright, so the thing is we have this like group of ex people or social media people and prominent streamers. Oh, just mute your mic for the love of God. Mute your mic real quick. Alright. Just mute it. Because we want to get that feedback. Alright. So this guy example is uh going after the LARPers. The LARPers, great, the LARPing community. So this guy, this fucking fat piece of shit, I don't know who he is, but like first off, he's not going after Insomniac with these shit designs. So he comes out with videos, and first he responded to me like I came at him as like, hey, dude, this is a bad design. I said I called him Phil. I didn't know it was phenom. But anyway, I called him Phil, right? So I was like, it's a bad design, pure and simple. Like people have to watch a trailer, Grant. They have to watch a trailer to understand that picture of Death Strike they put out was actually Lady Death Strike. Like they did not, they could not like fathom that it doesn't look like fucking Death Strike in any comic book fashional form. Okay. Except a very obscure comic book. There's kind of a similar design for her. Alright. But you saw a sword that appeared in Mist, and it shows Asomniac posting on X Death Strike. Like they had to come out with the tweet to let everyone know this is Death Strike. Because it looked like Scylock. It it looks like Silock. You can pull up comic books, Grant. With a purple sword, a purple sword, an energy sword, and sometimes just a straight purple sword in any comic book with Silock, and that's what that's what it looks like. Death Strike doesn't have a purple sword. Oh, but you can look up in comics the the the blade, the her blade can change colors, Grant. It can change colors. I was trying to look through and find a purple sword of her sword, of Lady Death Strike's sword. I couldn't fucking find one. Doesn't exist, Ed. And then I look at all the other pictures of Lady Death Strike. I mean, not at you know, it's not supposed to be super sexy, but she's kind of has that dangerous, sexy look about her in almost every single rendition of the comic book. And then we got this guy, Phil Phenom. It's Phenom. So he responded back, it's Phenom. Secondly, you don't even understand the video like at all. Yeah, I do understand the video. You're going after people because they didn't watch the trailer, buddy. They have to watch the trailer to understand that's Death Strike. Because in the trailer she has her claws out. Okay, yeah, that's Death Strike. I get it. All right. But this guy is like attacking people because, oh, you didn't watch the trailer. I don't have to fucking watch a trailer. I mean, you if you have to watch a trailer to understand the picture they brought out, that first snapshot of Death Strike with the purple sword appearing, I'm sorry, brother. I mean, you lost the plot.

SPEAKER_04 6:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:02

It's terrible. The Somniac had to come out with that social media post. They had to come out with the social media post to let people know that's Death Strike. Because they're getting flamed so bad. If you have to do that for people that don't watch the trailer, that like the comics, it's a bad design. So instead of this guy going after, he's going after the LARP, I'm gonna talk on the postal media. My fucking fat's jiggling everywhere. My fat's jiggling everywhere. I'm fucking doing fucking jiggling when I'm talking. My chin's jiggling when I talk. That's what it was. And you see that post, dog, and you see that reply.

SPEAKER_03 6:49

And look, it's phenom. And you gonna let my boy Phenom. It's fucking Phenom.

SPEAKER_02 6:55

No, but then why do you got then don't put fucking Phil in front of your damn name? It's his look, it says Phil Phenom. I said, hey Phil. Oh, it's it's Phenom. So anyway, he goes on a rant attacking people for thinking that's Scylock or somebody. I mean, honestly, dude, it's like uh it's a pretty it's pretty fair, like, oh, is that Scylock? If you didn't see the trailing, you saw that, you would think Scylock, honestly, out of all the comic book characters. I mean, they already fucked up all the other designs, so why wouldn't you think that was Scylock? How bad their other designs are. But this guy comes out and attacks everyone for thinking that's Scylock when you should be attacking Insomniac. Am I cool? Am I wrong?

SPEAKER_04 7:44

No, you're right. I mean, they're both, I mean, here's the thing is they're both terrible designs. No matter who it is, it's garbage.

SPEAKER_02 7:50

Yeah, it's it's just that's the point. That is the main focus, dog. But and it's not the LARPers. All right, so let's get to this, actually. Uh let's get let's I'm kind of done with this guy.

SPEAKER_04 8:02

I kind of how long is this round?

SPEAKER_02 8:05

Meet your mic. Meet your mic right now. It's the LAPers. All right, so let's talk about this though. So let's go to this next post. All right. So as you're aware, actually, no, not this one. But as you're aware, the uh the other issue is the saber tooth, the saber tooth, and oh my god, do you have your mic mute? Is it muted? No, it's not muted. Mute your mic, brother. Mute your motherfucking mic. Okay. Now your camera's on. Now your camera mic's on. You got it? Alright, can you hear me clearly? Alright, so you can hear me clearly, right? All right, worthless. Alright, so let's go down to this one. Alright, so check this out. Let's blow this up. So if everyone wants to talk about the LARPers, the LARPers, the LARPing, in this new game for Wolverine that's coming out, Insomniac's game. So let's check this one out. Alright, so Insomniac's narrative director. This is a tweet from uh Geeks and Gamers. Says Wolverine feels yearning for Sabertooth and their rivalry has room for love. Oh, look at that. I you some you did something that's right, Grain. I can't hear anything now. So I don't have that feedback anymore. So anyway, Geeks and Gamer, they tweet this out. The narrative director for Wolverine feels yearning for Sabretooth, and their rivalry has a room for love. Logan feels that the yearning and he gets scared and pulls away. Sabertooth feels the yearning and makes him hurt and wants to lash out to exert the hurt outward. Hate and love so hand in hand. You hurt me, so I'm going to hurt you. You're going to be linked between now the pain is shared, Insomniac narrative director Walt Williams said. Okay, so yes, this is you got all these people calling people LARPers, but no one going after Insomniac for including this. So we look up here at When's Wolverine ever been like that? When has Sabretooth and Wolverine's relationship ever been like that? Like they're they're sorry for one another, or is there some like weird, you know, hurt, you know, like feelings from one another because they're brothers? And all right, so this is if you want to go to comic book accurate, first of all, sabertooth raped like his wife, right? Yeah, and then he killed his son, displayed his body parts, all that stuff. And then you have this. This is Wolverine coming back to his camp looking for a Kirio, and look, body parts everywhere. Happy birthday. That's Sabretooth's doing. So you're telling me the LARPers are the ones wrong about this, and no one's attacking this, no one's going after Insomniac. But he then you have this fat other fat fuck named Mighty Keefe that's actually coming out and saying, Oh, well, the Sabretooth and Wolverine didn't have a romance. What are you guys talking about? This is stupid. You know, they move that goalpost to get away from this, like the actual news. They're going after like a couple of dumb asses on Twitter that said, Oh, they have a romance, like two people. When the real news is this from the actual director from an insomniac, you know, these guys are gatekeeping the game studio as they usually do, right?

SPEAKER_05 11:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:30

So these guys, Insomniac, is saying there's some love still in, you know, that's shared between Wolverine and Sabretooth as brothers. There is absolutely none.

SPEAKER_04 11:44

None. Absolutely. There never was.

SPEAKER_02 11:48

They hate each other. And that's how it should be portrayed. Oh, shave, save that energy though. Save that energy though. LARPers, LARPing. None of them are going after Insomniac for this. They're defending them.

SPEAKER_04 12:03

Of course.

SPEAKER_02 12:04

Everyone is defending Insomniac for this crap, dude. It's crap. And then you have all this other gay stuff they added to the game, the line following, the, you know, let me hold your hand in this game. I mean, the game is, I mean, then you got IGN. Listen, with the polarized, when games are as polarizing as this, and IGN gives your game a six.

SPEAKER_04 12:31

That's true.

SPEAKER_02 12:32

You have problems.

SPEAKER_04 12:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:34

Your game has problems. Because usually IGN will side with the other side.

SPEAKER_04 12:40

Correct. Or can we get it?

SPEAKER_02 12:41

When it comes to polarizing games. Like they did with Dragon Age the Velga, like they did with uh what's that dumb Dustborne or whatever. They always side with the other side. And they kind of give it like a 7-8 or whatever. At least a seven. But if you're getting a six from IGN on a polarizing game like this, you're you're done.

SPEAKER_04 13:00

Yeah, it's over.

SPEAKER_02 13:01

Your game is not good.

unknown 13:03

All right.

SPEAKER_02 13:04

But it looks like shit. Mute, mute. You gotta do something with your mic, buddy. This might be a single man podcast today. Or keep messing with it, mute, come off mute again. And talk. Don't don't shout, just talk. Hello. Oh, good lord. Mute that thing.

SPEAKER_04 13:23

Do I need to talk like that?

SPEAKER_02 13:25

You sound like Darth Vader's retarded fucking cousin or some shit. Turn that shit off. Please. Mute it. Did you mute it? Okay, thank you. Alright, so God. What? Oh, you talking shit? I can't hear you. Alright, so let's go to the next thing. The next thing is BlizzCon. BlizzCon, Grant. You know what BlizzCon is? Alright, so a lot of news came out of BlizzCon, right? Like Diablo 5, WoW Forever, uh, StarCraft, the third person shooter, first person, whatever, whatever the hell it's gonna be. Open world shooter, whatever it's gonna be. Oh, there you go. Yes. Get it, Grant. There you talk about these Miming over there. Yeah, yeah. Shut the fuck up. Fucking God. Just looking fat and worthless. Alright, so let's continue. Let's talk about BlizzCon. BlizzCon had some good news. I mean, they had some interesting news, I want to say good news. So let's talk about this. Diablo 5 coming spring of 2029. That's crazy. So what they're what they're talking about in this game, Grant, you know what they're gonna do in this game? They're going back to their roots, dog. Going back to them roots. Equipment stats are gonna be different. They're going this is this Diablo is gonna have the most classes ever, Grant. It's gonna have the most classes ever. And then it's going not only that. Oh Hey, hey, I have to chime in here.

SPEAKER_04 15:06

We talked about this in our top 10 last time. This is where they went back to the roots. They listened to the fans in.

SPEAKER_02 15:15

Yeah. Hey, check this out. All right. Hey, you're good right now. All right. Yes. No feedback on your side there, buddy. I'm just gonna I'm just not gonna move. Yeah, don't move. And talk very softly. I am. Oh alright. All right, so Diablo 5, most classes ever they said. It's going to have uh, you know, when you diff there's gonna be like different zones when you go into a zone, it always changes, right? Like how it used to, instead of like the set zones you have in Diablo uh four right now. So they have what did they call it? Regenerating zones or zone something. I can't remember what they call it. Regener regenerative zones. Uh there you go. Anyway, uh so when you like in Diablo 2, right? You have that in Diablo 2. You know, you go outside of town, it's a totally different area. Okay, cool. Dungeons are gonna be like that, cool. All right. Uh my question is, are you still going still gonna have battle passes? Are you still gonna have cosmetics? Are you still going to have content, seasonal content, the last two fucking days of playtime? Are you still gonna have those things?

SPEAKER_04 16:24

Not at launch ed, but it will happen. Which was number six on my top 10 of things that we hear when a new game is revealed.

SPEAKER_02 16:35

Exactly. So my question is all right, so Diablo 4 is done. This takes place as what Diablo's back a hundred years later, Sanctuary has fallen. So everything you did in Diablo 4 was worthless. Sorry. Whatever you did, all if you played 15 fucking seasons and you have Diablo 4, you failed.

SPEAKER_00 16:56

What was the point of this game?

SPEAKER_02 16:57

Sanctuary has been destroyed, Diablo is in control of everything.

SPEAKER_04 17:03

But that's your question. Isn't this the third time sanctuary's been destroyed? It seems like it gets destroyed every time.

SPEAKER_02 17:07

Well, we're talking about like a complete destruction. Like it's done.

SPEAKER_04 17:13

Well, I mean, like well, sanctuary, quote unquote sanctuary.

SPEAKER_02 17:18

You have you have main hubs in town that are existent. You know, you have that lore, and you have the um uh what is the name? Uh Tristram.

SPEAKER_04 17:30

Yeah, Tristram. Yeah, I remember that got destroyed.

SPEAKER_02 17:34

Yeah, but that was a part of Sanctuary, right? Sanctuary is the entirety of the world. It's decadent. Lilith and what's his name created?

SPEAKER_04 17:43

Oh. Come here, traveler.

SPEAKER_02 17:46

Yeah. God. So you have so I I don't know, man. Like, and then you're gonna have another season coming out with Diablo 4 that's gonna go on and then, and then you're gonna have it's gonna take two days to beat, you're gonna be done with everything, and then you guys are gonna wait another 90 days for the next season. Let me ask you a question. Mutes, mutes, mutes, mute. So I don't know. I don't know. Let me ask you a question. About this. Okay, ask me a question, but then get away from the mic and talk. Do you think that this is Diablo? You sound like a robot.

SPEAKER_04 18:26

Do you think this is Diablo Blizzard waving the white flag?

SPEAKER_02 18:29

Alright, mute. So your question was do I think this is Diablo and Blizzard waving the white flag? I don't know. I mean, they obviously are looking. Listen, man. If they're saying they're going back to the roots, but how many times have we given Blizzard? How many times have we given Blizzard a chance? Yeah, exactly. Put a gun to your head and uh yeah, exactly. Pull the trigger. This is how many times that we continue just to shoot ourselves in the face. Like, oh, they're gonna get it right this time. No, they're gonna do it. Oh, they got it. No. I I I don't have any faith in them until I see it. I don't have any faith. You don't tell me I'm hyped for this. I'm not gonna be hyped for it. I'm going to wait for it. And then if it looks good and it plays great, and it gives me that core feeling of maybe Diablo 2 excitement, then yes, I'm down with it. But until then, I have zero faith in Blizzard.

SPEAKER_04 19:28

I I think you need to go to the next BlizzCon, wear that wig, and no matter what they reveal, stand up and say, Is this a fucking joke?

SPEAKER_02 19:37

Is this a joke? I can be due to that. That'd be tight. They let me in. They give me that VIP pass. Like, look at this. Who's this sexy guy? Let him in. That's like boiled shit. All right. So what else did the BlizzCon announce? Let's talk about the next thing. Starcraft Ed. Yeah, Starcraft. All right. Starcraft, I don't I mean, they didn't share we don't have much on StarCraft besides the uh, I would say the uh opening cinematic, right? I think that's all they shared. I don't think I actually have expos on that, but anyway. So they shared a trailer of the new StarCraft, which is gonna be open world shooter. Um trailer was cool. I mean it was. It just showed some guy who thought he was the shit get completely massacred. But I don't know if that's like the core of StarCraft, right? Because Starcraft, you know, the Marines are like they're basically made up of rebels, convicts, and some patriots. But like they're hardcore.

SPEAKER_04 20:43

But this is Blizzard. They embrace the suck. It's not going to uh be the same Marines as they used to be.

SPEAKER_02 20:51

Yeah, I didn't like I didn't like the young guy. I wanted that grizzled. I mean, they should have done a comparison, like have that, and then like in the next thing just showed some like just a straight savage, you know. Like like uh Ty. What's his name? Uh what's that famous guy from Starcraft? I forget his name. Tycon Tycon or Ty I can't remember. You want everybody to be like uh Frank Castle. Well, I mean, these guys aren't pussies, dog. That's the point of the lore behind them. You know, these dudes are like they're they're ready for the suck. They're ready for it. You don't know what the suck is, though. You never experience the suck. Yeah, you're probably ready for it. So let's go to the next thing, Grant. The next thing was wow forever. It's basically like a classic, it's a classic plus. They're going to completely revamp the story and everything like that. They're going to or not, I wouldn't say can revamp the story, but they're gonna add a thousand more quests or something like that. They're gonna uh add and make it look better, they're going to revamp. The starting zones and uh one through three sixty is like meaningful now, like you're literally working to one through sixty, um, and they're doing a bunch of other stuff to it. So it's like classic plus. Uh, but as you see here in this screenshot, Grant, what do you see here? I see an Xbox controller. You see a controller, and yes, there will be controller support in WoW Forever. So, what does that mean? Console? Most likely possibility of console. Do you think it goes to Sony? Blizzard? It goes to Xbox, big dog. They own Activision. I know that.

SPEAKER_04 22:42

I I get that. But with the way but with the way that they just hand out games, did you ever think Gears of War would be on PlayStation? No.

SPEAKER_02 22:50

No, I'm sure, I'm sure they'll they'll expand it, Grant. But active, I mean Xbox gonna have the they're gonna have the say. They're gonna own it. And you know what they're gonna say is oh god, mute. I know what they're gonna say, Grant. They're gonna be like, oh, well, no one's playing on Xbox, let's get the Sony. That's exactly what they're gonna say. They're gonna drop it.

SPEAKER_05 23:11

Oh God.

SPEAKER_02 23:18

I'm gonna have to edit this podcast like big time there, Grant. Because you know, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Shake your hand. Save stuff, Grant. I see you're in the camera. God. Alright. So when you when you unmute Grant, I don't know if it's your wires or something, but you gotta fix that because uh it's annoying.

SPEAKER_04 23:36

It's my computer.

SPEAKER_02 23:37

Yeah, it's your computer. It's getting maxed out now. Oh, it's getting maxed out. Well, why don't you clean it up? Why don't you clean it up, Grant? Why don't you shut your face? Got too much porn in there? Nobody watches porn on their computer anymore. Alright. So that's it. That's it for well Blizz. I mean, they had other stuff. We'll get to a top ten and we'll go over the rest of the stuff. Alright. We'll go over the rest of the stuff. Okay. Grant. Yes. I want to talk about my my Don Walker. You're a wetwalker? My Don Walker. Are you saying Don or Dong? My blood of the Don Walker. Okay. Oh, we didn't talk about this. Top 10 Ed. Well, it's still an announcement before.

SPEAKER_04 24:29

You're just you're oh God.

SPEAKER_02 24:30

No, it's an announcement for BlizzCon.

SPEAKER_04 24:32

If I had one wish, if I had one wish, I would put you in a cannon and shoot you into the sun.

SPEAKER_02 24:37

Listen here, Grant. Listen here. Alright, so Netflix is going to come out with Diablo animation series. Either going to play as a lesbian barbarian. That's going to be the main character. Here's the thing is. Or it's going to be good like Castlevania.

SPEAKER_04 24:57

Well, I hope it's like there's no in between. Well, I hope it's like Castlevania and not Castlevania and Nocturne.

SPEAKER_02 25:04

Yeah. It needs to be like the original Castlevania on Netflix. But uh I I don't see. I mean, like, you literally, like for the writers, I know they're probably not listening to this. Alright, they're not going to listen to this. But for this animation for Diablo, you literally either play the games or you can look up the lore. There's a ton of lore out there on the internet. Go to the lore, read the lore, find something you know cool that you could probably turn into an animation from the lore. But take that time period of the lore, read it, make animation about it. Don't start coming up with your little ideas. We know how your ideas turn out. Don't think in, oh, I can make this better. I can make it for the modern audience.

SPEAKER_04 25:59

Ed, everything you said makes sense. But you know, in God's name, that is not going to happen. They're all showing up to fucking Blizzard Studio going, it's raining, man. Hello. They're all getting ready to fucking fuck this up. But if they need a voice actor for Decad Kane, I'm available. Hello, traveler. No, look at that. You gotta contact Netflix.

SPEAKER_03 26:25

Fucking please don't.

SPEAKER_04 26:28

They could put it in my contract. I gotta fucking play with cocks before I can do it.

SPEAKER_02 26:37

Alright. So I don't know, man. I don't know, bruh. I don't know about this cu. I think it's gonna be like a train wreck or really good. It's a train wreck or it's really good. Yeah, that's sad when things are like 50-50 now. Alright. So let's close this. We covered that, we covered that. Okay. Alright, let me blow this up.

SPEAKER_04 27:07

You know how you look like you look like an old, like an old hair metal artist who just can't let it go. Who still lives in the past. Who still talks about who still talks about getting bitches in 1986?

SPEAKER_02 27:24

Alright. Let me talk about my my blood of the Don Walker. Okay. I played it. I beat it. I beat it with like three days left. Okay. On the timer. Did you play it? No, you didn't. We already know. Okay. Move on. Next. Next. Okay. So Blood of the Don Walker. It is a game of the year contender. Okay. But my recommendation, I agree with this the gamer guy on X. He posted some very valid points. Don't buy it right now. Meet your mic. Meet your mic. Don't buy it right now. Okay. Wait another week or two until they patch out the bugs and some of the issues on stability. Okay. To me though, Blood of the Don Walker is a great game. Yeah, I had, you know, I had some crashes. There's some issues with some quests that the NPC would like bug out, and then you have to like restart the game. Um, besides all that and some other technical issues, I really enjoyed it. And a lot of people griping about the um timer, all right, the 30-day timer. Like, okay, The Witcher 3 is a different game. The Blunt of the Dawnwalker, part of the mechanics of this game is a timer of saving your family and fighting um Brincis at the end. Alright. So that's the point of this game. It is that is that is the gameplay. Alright. So if you're wanting, if you're complaining about the timer and you don't think a timer that the timer is a bad thing, then don't play it, okay? Bottom line. I can't really tell you anything else. But the timer is not a huge issue. All right. I'll tell you why. I was able to get a shit ton of stuff done in the game. Almost, I I mean, even after I killed some of the um his followers early, and they even had some more events attacked to the court system that they have in the game. I was still able to do all the court stuff that I didn't really need to do. All right. I was just like doing stuff to waste time. I got like legendary, I did this legendary sword from St. Michel or whatever his name is, quest line. I got a silver sword that's a legendary sword. I got a bunch of legendary armor that's really all over the damn game. You can get from all different types of quest lines, depending on what kind of build you're going for. What I would suggest though, when you first play through, pick your playstyle at the very beginning before investing points. Because when you invest points, yes, you're you're you're it's like one click of the timer every time you upgrade a skill or select a skill. I went with sword mastery and I stuck with sword mastery the entire game. So whenever I didn't go anything anything else besides maybe some speed boost stuff like mount, like the wolf travel and the speed travel during the day, I I got those. But everything else went into sword mastery. So pick what kind of playstyle you want. You want to be go hard into vampirism? Fine. But you know, remember, vampire is really only good during the night. So it's either witchcraft or sword mastery you want to invest those points in. Vampirism is like an extra thing. So you can do like sword mastery and vampirism, or witchcraft and vampirism. Don't try to unless you want to like have a different type of playstyle, you can mix some witchcraft powers in, that's fine. But me personally, I just went sword mastery. Um, and then the gear I got, I just it was it basically was buffing my sword mastery stuff. So that I would recommend just picking one, honestly. So you don't you're not wasting you know time points for uh all these other skills. But anyway, yes, 30 days, but it's like eight segments uh for both night and day equals one day. All right, there's some quests that you waste three to five or even six segments on those time bars, but you know, that's up to you. You can do a lot of the major quests, like side quest storylines, you know, the ones you get companions and a different way to fight um Princess or whatever his fucking name is, the main the bad main bad vampire at the end of the game. You can you can do totally totally different ones. One's you like uh you take over a castle with uh another companion, the other one is like uh vampire chick named Lan Lankra that you can go with and fight him. And that's kind of a cool that's the one I chose. I thought that was really cool. Um, even though she ended up turning up to be a bitch, and uh I wanted to I should have just killed her at the beginning, but I didn't. Um that's that's a romance option, and there's another one called uh uh what was the other girl's name? You know, it's another witch girl that you can do. Um do her quest line. But they a lot of the quests actually intersect too. So you're not I mean the time thing is not an issue. You got plenty of time to do a bunch of shit in the game. Alright, so don't worry about it. Alright? But in my recommendation, game of the year contender, but wait a couple weeks until you buy, until those bugs are patched out. But I me personally, I give the game a nine out of ten. I give it a nine out of ten. I think it was a great game. It was a great first game for Rebel Wolves, and guess what they do at the end? Not gonna spoil anything, but there's going to be sequels. They're going, this is going to be their franchise.

SPEAKER_04 33:01

I also give it a nine out of ten.

unknown 33:07

Fuck.

SPEAKER_02 33:09

Anyway, this is hats off the Rebel Wolves. They did they did the damn thing. They did the damn thing. What are you doing? You look like a cheerleader. You look like one of those fat cheerleaders in college that their belly hangs out of their shirt. That's what you look like. And every time you move, I you you jiggle like phenom. Your face jiggles like phenom, you fat lard. What are you gonna say, Grant? Grant's Phil head. Oh, it's Phil. Yeah, that's right. That's phenom. Anyway. So that was. I mean, we're gonna have to do a top ten. I don't know how we're gonna do this with Grant's mic, but we're gonna try it. Grant, I don't need you to go into a big spill, okay? Oh, yeah, let me waste five minutes of the podcast episode because no one cares about what I say. Uh let me just say, just say what it is and end it, okay? I'll do the spill. Got it? Yeah, you shake your head. All right. Let's do the top ten. All right, our top ten today. Let me close this. And stop sharing. All right. Grant, the top 10 today is the top 10 BlizzCon announcements. One, you know, they can be, we're just saying what the top 10's on all personal opinion are. Are they awesome announcements? Did some of them look okay? I don't know, but these are our top ten announcements. You don't have you don't you you're still muted. You're still muted. No, here we go.

SPEAKER_04 34:54

Hello, Ed.

SPEAKER_02 34:55

Alright, go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 34:57

Ed. World of Warcraft Midnight Falls.

SPEAKER_02 35:03

Alright, that's a pretty good one. All right. World of Warcraft, Midnight Falls. Good job, Grant. Alright, my number 10, Grant, is Hero of the Storm isn't dead yet. I bet everyone forgot that even existed still. I'm pretty sure everyone forgot that existed still. Heroes of the Storm. Like no one even knew that was still around. But it's pretty it's been long and dormant. It's a long and dormant MOBA, but it's actually getting an update, Grant, with Zalatenth from Wow. What the fuck name is that? Joining as a new hero on September 28th. So years later, they added a new hero. That's the update. It's not dead, Grant. Anyway, go ahead, Grant. You're number nine.

SPEAKER_04 35:55

What a Warcraft 3 reforged Forsaken Kingdom.

SPEAKER_02 36:00

That's a good one, Grant. Good job, Grant. That's really good. That's really awesome. All right, so my number nine, Grant, is Overwatch's 10th anniversary content. Hey, guess what? No one really gives a shit. No one cares. No one cares about Overwatch really anymore. I mean, Overwatch 2watch 2 is held, so they kind of like combining into Overwatch. But it's the 10th anniversary content. Guess what? You get a new support heal grant named Doctrine. It's a vampire-inspired healer. Oh boy, a vampire. That's original. Good job, Blizzard. It's like big rework from Sombra and Broadog. I guess they're changing those characters up a little bit. And a new map, Grant. A new map called Watchpoint. Grimmsvolton. I guess is where this vampire's from, Grant. Oh boy. All playable now. And I guess oh, and guess what, Grant? As soon as BlitzCon ended, you can play all this shit now on Overwatch. Oh boy, they got a oh boy, the game's coming back, Grant. 10th Anthony Content. What's your number eight, Grant? Oh, here we go.

SPEAKER_04 37:06

Water Warcraft, The Last Titan.

SPEAKER_02 37:15

Expand on that, please. Go ahead. Be soft though. Be quick. Expand on it, Grant.

SPEAKER_04 37:23

It's the snow packed conclusion of the world soul saga.

SPEAKER_02 37:29

Cool. Thanks, Grant. My number eight is Diablo's four's first class pack. Guess what, Grant? They're bringing the Amazon. Oh, boy, we're going to get to play Amazon Blizzard. We're going to play Diablo 4 with Amazon. And then we get to play another season, Grant, and it's going to last two days, and everyone's going to get fucking bored, and all the player counts are going to be like 100 fucking players. That's what's going to happen, Grant. They're going to have Amazon and then it's going to be shit. It's going to be shit until next season. And then people come back from the next season and then it's going to be shit for another 90 days. And then season 17 is going to come out, and guess what? It's going to last two fucking days and it's going to be shit again. That's what's going to happen. Alright. So, Diablo 4, first class back. The job, the Diablo wielding Amazon class. Oh boy. Can't wait for that. It's coming in the first half of 2027. Hey, guess what? No one's going to fucking play the game by that time. We already know what's going to happen. Diablo's going to destroy Sanctuary. I mean, that's Diablo 5, right? Sanctuary's going to be fucking destroyed, great. That's what's going to happen. So why am I playing Diablo 4 anymore? So 100 years in the future, I knew Diablo comes and destroys Sanctuary. So everything I did in Diablo 4 is fucking worse trash. So old bully, great. Alright, go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 38:51

Oh, I didn't even know that they had another hearthstone. I thought that game got canceled.

SPEAKER_02 39:02

Is that your number? What number is that your number eight? My number seven, Grant. Hey, guess what, Grant? Diablo 4 is coming to the Switch too. Oh boy, a bunch of Nintendo players get to go play Diablo 4 for two days every season. They did play on damn mobile, like you already can do on a Steam Deck.

SPEAKER_04 39:28

They didn't.

SPEAKER_02 39:34

Hey, come play season 16 or 15, whatever the fuck's next. I think it's season 15. Come play for two days, guys. You can play it.

SPEAKER_04 39:42

They didn't think boring the PlayStation and Xbox people was enough.

SPEAKER_02 39:53

All right. Go ahead, your number seven. Waiting. Waiting.

SPEAKER_04 40:03

It actually is the uh the Diablo from Netflix.

SPEAKER_02 40:11

Alright, my number six, Grant. Guess what is Diablo again? Guess what, Grant? You play Diablo 4 season of Hell's Legacy. That's next season coming out in a couple days. Actually, September 15th. 30th anniversary of Diablo season bringing back the primevals, including Diablo himself on September 15th. So I'm guessing you just get your ass beat by Diablo because he destroys Sanctuary. That's what happens to Diablo 5. And plus Deckard Kane in Air Spanning Gear is coming back. Deckard Kane, Grant. He's coming back September 15th. You get to play that for two days and then quit.

SPEAKER_04 40:51

Number six, Grant. The 30th anniversary of Diablo.

SPEAKER_02 40:55

Oh, God. Okay, thank you. Mute your mic, please. All right, number five, Grant. This is actually, I like this. Warcraft 3 Reforged, Forsaken Kingdom. The first new Warcraft 3 campaign in over 20 years. It's actually playable immediately. You can play it right now. I like that. I mean, I thought their cinematic was way cooler than the uh Water Warcraft Forever cinematic. Because it felt like fucking Warcraft. Alright, go ahead, Granny. Number five.

SPEAKER_04 41:33

I actually should have put this at number 10, but it was Heroes of the Storm. It's a new character.

SPEAKER_02 41:37

Oh gosh. Alright. My number four is a Diablo animated series on Netflix. Confirmed in development with Blizzard President Johanna Ferries teasing other franchises like Overwatch and Warcraft could get similar similar treatment downline. So guess what? We're going to make audio games lame and fucking gay. That's what they're going to do. They're going to make them all, oh it's going to be, oh, you know, the new the new orcs with the little babies and the flowers and the oh they're they're bakers. They're bakers in Ogre Mar now. And that's what they do. It's all friendly, friendly stuff. And this is what is that what they're going to do for the Netflix series, or they're going to make it like OG Warcraft? They're going to make it badass until all these little Taurus and little fairies start taking over. I guess they're going to make they're going to make the undead, they're going to make them nice. They're going to make them nice. They're going to be lovely. They're going to be lovey, lovey undead. They're going to hug each other and stuff like that, like a new Warcraft is. I don't know. We'll see.

SPEAKER_04 42:39

Diablo, new class pack.

SPEAKER_02 42:43

Mute. Yeah, that's pretty good. Not really. But it's Amazon. I just can't get excited for anything, Diablo 4. Because what do you know what's going to happen? What's one playing Diablo 4 anymore? I don't know. We'll see. Maybe we get to see how Sanctuary Falls. Who knows? That'd be pretty cool. Alright, Grant. My number uh three. Ward of Warcraft Forever. Guess what, Grant? You get a new permanent take on Classic WoW with lock level cap of 60. New zones, just like Mike Higel and Riverglades, new race, the Skyborn. Because you know, in uh the uh what is it, the Burning Crusade, how you have the uh blood elves. Well, guess what? You can't have that in Classic WoW, so they're gonna bring Skyborn. They look like a bunch of elves. So they're gonna have the Skyborn instead of not the blood elves. So people be like, oh boy, we can play, we can play little little weird-looking looking creatures, and we need to play play together. Yeah, the Skyborne. I don't know. I just think it's stupid. I think it's dumb. I don't know. This is like Water Warcraft Forever to me is just uh it's uh it's a it's an unknown. Because it's a blizzard. So we'll see. Go ahead, Grant.

SPEAKER_04 44:09

Mine is also World of Warcraft Forever. I can't wait to be a level two and get ganked by get ganked by level 60 in the road that's high enough to be gaming.

SPEAKER_02 44:22

Number two for me, Grant, is StarCraft Returns as an open world shooter. I don't know about this. No, you're ditching the RTS format. You're ditching it. But you know, they're aiming for a 2030 release on PC and console. But my concern is. My concern. This is a big one. Ubisoft. Ubisoft veteran Dan Hay is heading it up. I don't know. Like I I I would love for StarCraft to have a shooter like this, open war shooter, where you get em engulfed in the StarCraft universe at a different level by RTS. I think that's a cool concept. I thought the opening the cinematic they showed, I wish they had gameplay, man. I hate when they announced these things without any gameplay. But um the opening cinematic was kind of cool. I thought it was cool. I mean it was very gritty. I get it. Alright. But I mean this is like a very this is a question mark. Question mark. Go ahead, Grant.

SPEAKER_01 45:44

Go ahead, Grant.

SPEAKER_04 45:46

Mine is also StarCraft. I think we have the same top three.

SPEAKER_02 45:49

Okay, well, my number one is it's it's technically the Diablo 5 official announcement. Targeting in 2029. Picking up the story after the loss. I'm assuming we're gonna play some season in Diablo 4, and it's going, you know, down the road that is going to explain what happens. The collapse of Sanctuary, Diablo taking over everything, and we us felling of everything we did for you know 15 plus seasons by that time. So that's my number one. That's yours too. Alright, well, shit, that's top 10. So let's recap a little bit. So we got fat fucks talking about Wolverine and defending insomniac. Yeah. Okay. Well, I wasn't talking about you, but I guess if you want to rot you up being a fat fuck, go ahead. But no, let's talk about the fat fucks defending insomniac. All right. We already could we covered all that. Um, you know, calling everyone LARPers. LARPing, they're LARPers. They're LARPing. That's what they they fucking every person I see defending insomnia is just some fat fuck getting on in front of a camera and just fucking looks like he's about to have a heart attack or die from type 1 diabetes or some shit. All right. So instead of doing that, how about you go after the Somniac for all the mistakes they made, all the shitty character designs they made that are not faithful to the comics? How about you save your fucking energy for that? But you don't want to.

SPEAKER_01 47:18

Because you want to follow the the little the little the little other people talking about the LARPers. You want to follow that trend so you can get clicks and likes. You want clicks and likes. Alright? Stop it.

SPEAKER_02 47:32

Go after go after the game students. Don't let them slide with the stupid shit they put out. People should be going after them on the designs. Everyone should be. But and then we cover BlizzCon, all that stuff. Alright. There's some good, some bad, you know. I would say my favorite thing out of BlizzCon would be StarCraft. I mean, I hate they're going away from the RTS thing, but it's interesting with the open world shooter. And being beginning to be able to be embraced inside that world. Alright. So that's my take. Grant, you got anything? What the hell did you do? What is that?

SPEAKER_04 48:12

I was clearing my throat, sir. Uh no. Oh. Thanks, Grant. Well, I do, but I mean, my mic might start messing up.

SPEAKER_02 48:23

So I mean, you're good right now. Keep talking.

SPEAKER_04 48:25

Okay. Um, I think it's hilarious that that this game. So we talked about Wolverine last year, remember or begin of the year.

SPEAKER_02 48:33

Yeah, because Gene Gray was fugly.

SPEAKER_04 48:35

Yeah. And we kind of knew we didn't know how far down the well they were going to go. We thought maybe Gene Gray was just a one-off. But then Logan looks like he has a face looks like the uh Rocky Dennis. Um like it doesn't even look like it doesn't look like anybody. Like, I don't know. Like it doesn't even look like any type of Wolverine. Doesn't look like um what's his name that plays in the movies, doesn't like the guy from the comic books, doesn't like anybody from the animated series. It literally looks like that the Wolverine you buy. Um like you ever gone to the dollar store and how they have the generic toys? So it's not Wolverine, it's like Wolverine or whatever, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 49:10

It looks like uh true when I say Disney, I know Disney owns that, but I'm saying true Disney. Like if Disney, uh, as in like children's cartoons movie Disney decided wanted to make a Wolverine, like a musical. Wolverine, the musical. He's not gritty looking. He has feelings in. Like it's just it's just really bad. Like, it's a bunch of soy boys and feminazis that took that character and just decided to take their own spin on it, on all the characters, including Death Strike. God.

SPEAKER_04 49:50

Yeah, that was terrible.

SPEAKER_02 49:52

It was terrible, but you had all your fat fucks and femin feminists come out and defend that.

SPEAKER_04 49:57

And then everybody gets like super like this is the ones I like.

SPEAKER_03 50:00

They're like, uh if you're requiring an epic and comic book 173 of when they found Magneto, uh, Shylock looked just like that.

SPEAKER_02 50:10

Let me tell you what I'm looking forward to in games coming up. First off, I'm looking forward to Final Fantasy Resonance, the official release. I played the demo. I'll fuck that's that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about, Grant. Get Buck Ed. Yeah. I got my girl Tara. Did you get Tara yet? No, I've not gotten Tara yet. Because you haven't played it probably. I have played it. Okay. What do you play like two hours of it?

SPEAKER_04 50:34

No, I actually at the beginning I fell asleep.

SPEAKER_02 50:38

Fucking trash. Horrible. All right, anyway, I'm looking forward to Final Fantasy Resonance. I'm looking forward to all types of games coming out this uh GTA. We got GTA 6 coming out. Dude, I mean there's so many other games looking for. I'm gonna put that in my backlog. Once it's on sale for like $9, $10, whatever. I'm not playing that yet. All right. Grant, let's go. Let's end.
