DMG Gaming Podcast — Honest gaming talk with zero filter. New episodes every week.
What's going on, everybody? It's your boy Grant Rolling here with the DMG Gaming Podcast. And as always, John, I'm joined by the Duke of Diablo himself. The Duke of Damnation. Ed Phillips. What up, my boy? I mean, pretty much. You already beat it and maxed out your character, I guarantee it.
SPEAKER_01Actually, no.
SPEAKER_04No, what?
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Blizzard got a little magic up their sleeves still. Do they? Yeah, they do. Okay. We'll talk about it. We'll get into it. But um, so you know, I was thinking about today, Grant. Alright. And uh you know what I really hate?
SPEAKER_04Uh well, this could be a long topic, but sure.
SPEAKER_05I hate when game companies, eh, I'm about to get on Blizzard Case a little bit though.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_05You know they have a big expansion, right?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Hype it up, advertisement, all that, all that shang. I didn't see any much advertisement on it though, honestly. Yeah, there's some quite a bit of advertisement on it. Um, not not quite as much as they did when uh they got Megan Fox to do all those dress up in uh scandalous clothing and do commercials for Diablo. That's that's nice. Uh anyway. But Blizzard, all right, this Diablo expansion released two new classes technically. You could have done the pre-order and you would have gotten paladin ahead of time. Uh last season, and so I think the last two seasons, right? You could have played a paladin if you bought the expansion pre-order.
SPEAKER_03Correct.
SPEAKER_05Um, but the technically the expansion release, the brand new classes for the expansion are Paladin and Warlock. Okay. Warlock, kind of fun class, a little bit of clunkiness to it though. It's fun though. There's certain builds that are pretty fun with it. Um, there's one that has the hands that come out of like this circle and grab it's like a tyrant's grasp thing or something. I can't I don't know what the build is, apocalypse or something. I can't remember. Um but then you go to the paladin, and the paladin is like shit this season. The paladin, the last two seasons, had S-tier builds, like it was doing very well. But for some reason, for its official release, technically, they decided to nerf the fuck out of the paladin. You can go to maxroll.com right now. I guarantee you there's not even I there might be a B tier paladin build now, maybe.
SPEAKER_04Really?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, no A tier.
SPEAKER_04No A tiers.
SPEAKER_05I don't even think they have the B tier, dude. They didn't before, like a couple days ago, they didn't.
SPEAKER_04That's crazy.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Why do you think that is? The the popular ones were like Hammerden, Oridon, um, and a few others, but they all were like good. You know, you could you could you could go you could you could tell that you could make it to the top torment level and clear comfortably with some of those paladin builds. Now, if you want to be like an Oridon, like you gotta put some you gotta juice your character up a little bit to push those higher tiers. I probably could do it, and to push those higher pits as a paladin. Like, don't get me wrong, some people have the hammered in builds, they're pushing kind of pits a little high, but it's not near as high as the rest of the classes. That's cool. Blizzard really made the paladin, you know, debut technically very lackluster.
SPEAKER_04Maybe I should play it.
SPEAKER_05No, you because you fucking suck at the game and you quit after 24 hours.
SPEAKER_04No, well, to be fair, to be fair, you used to quit after 24 hours because it was god awful as well.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, the last couple seasons, I mean, they they've really been like very lackluster in their seasons, really. But Grant, so let's look at these tier lists real quick on Max Roll.
SPEAKER_04Let me ask you a question though, why you're while you're doing that real quick. Why don't they ever like create new classes? Like it's always in every Diablo, it's always the same classes necromancer, warlock, druid. Like, why don't they just like create something? Rogue or whatever.
SPEAKER_05What are you talking about?
SPEAKER_04I'm saying like they don't ever, it's always the same, like you can always count on them in every Diablo to have expansions where it's gonna they're gonna either they're gonna have a necromancer or a warlock, or either or they're gonna have a druid, they're gonna have a paladin. Well, I mean, okay, well, what okay, but what was it in the last Diablo? It's the same thing. He just fucking used a bow, just called it something different.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, it's a road with a bow.
SPEAKER_04That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. They just just because they call it a witch hunter, they give it the same thing. They just put they just like it's like the old building with a new set of paint.
SPEAKER_05I mean, what how many classes they got now? I mean, now how about they try a bard? A bard.
SPEAKER_00You don't know that what you're talking about.
SPEAKER_05You don't know that you play a bard, except you get a flute. You're fucking playing that flute, don't you? You ticking them ivories, don't you? God fucking.
SPEAKER_04There's no ivories on the flute, and so you had the good joke.
SPEAKER_05The flute can be ivory. What are you talking about?
SPEAKER_04You said tickling the ivories. That's piano first one. Oh, whatever. But you had the joke going, and then you run it. You tickle it can't be ivory. You went too far. So you went too far with the joke because you thought you're gonna.
SPEAKER_05I could see you playing all green. You're feeling a little spicy. You're fucking fat fingers over the mold. But let's break down the classes. We have necromancer, barbarian, druid, rogue, sorcerer, paladin, warlock, and who am I missing?
SPEAKER_03What about a ninja? That'd be tight.
SPEAKER_05I got seven right now. Who am I missing? Let's see what am I missing. We got necromancer. Oh, that's one. There you go. That's eight. Yeah, so that's eight right there. But yeah, look, the B like the tier system grant. No paladin. They have a B tier. Wing strikes and shield retribution paladin. That is as high as a paladin can go. That means you're you're struggling. Like the you can tell, because I played a paladin first before I moved to a barbarian. I played the warlock first and then the paladin and then the barbarian. But you can tell the like the cap, you hit like a wall really fast with the paladin. But barbarian, like, you don't need much, you don't need much to this season, because they're S plus tier. They have two builds out of the three builds that are S plus tier is barbarian. They got a menu build and a uh the Whirlwind, of course. The Whirlwind's always there every time. No, no, no, it's not true. They've they've they fuck with Whirlwind quite a bit throughout the season.
SPEAKER_04So what's the point of them nerfing it and then bringing it back and then nerfing it? And what's what's the point of it?
SPEAKER_05I don't know, man. Like this season, I'll I'll I'll break down the season, dude. What why it's different? Okay? I'll break it down. You do that. Uh fucking well. All right, Grant. Anyway, oh, I forgot to ask. How was your day? It's good. It's good, you sure? Been at the doctor a lot. Oh yeah? What's wrong? Got a fucking Well, Ed, I got something wrong.
SPEAKER_04We have to they have this thing that's called enormous penis syndrome. I was gonna ask if you gave me a pamphlet prescribe some vagicil. They they they gave me a pamphlet. It's called How to Cope with a Large Penis. No, I um I've been having like neck problems and stuff. So they had to go get x-rays on my neck.
SPEAKER_05All right. Well, we're gonna do something different today.
SPEAKER_04I like how you just brush it off. Like, and I have three months to live. You're like, okay, that's cool anyway. Next. Anyway, you will take my medical pain serious.
SPEAKER_05All right. So let's move to we're gonna do something different today. Let's do the top six up front.
SPEAKER_03Oh, somebody wants to come shooting out the gate. Let's do the top six up front.
SPEAKER_05The picks top six. All right. All right, let me pull that image up, Grinster. You remember my mom used to call you that? She still calls me that. What do you mean used to? Greenster. All right. So the pip pick uh I can't even talk. Fuck. Let me get this right. There we go. The picks top six. All right, so let's do uh this category was given to us on YouTube.

SPEAKER_04You're just so unprepared, Ed. You changed the password on me.
SPEAKER_05Damn, our last episode kicked off. All right, here we go. Uh let's do top six foods or excuse me. Top six countries with the worst food. Oh, that's easy. All right, Kel Fad gave us one, but we're gonna change it up a little bit. He wanted the top six food items in London. There isn't any. There's one. There's fish and chips, like he said. All right, so Kel Fad, but we're gonna change it up for that top six. We're gonna do the top six foods or worst foods, or actually, I'd say top six worst countries, or top six countries that have the worst foods. How about that? Okay, how about that? That's easy. Top six countries that have the worst food. All right, you're not very traveled though. Yeah, but I am but I do have a bachelor's in culinary arts. You're not cultured, Grant. You haven't even been have you even left Mississippi?
SPEAKER_04I've had to study this.
SPEAKER_05Where from?
SPEAKER_04The Mississippi University for Women. Fuck.
SPEAKER_05All right. Grant. Your turn. Go.
SPEAKER_04All right. Ed, we're gonna kick this thing off with number six. You know, here's the thing is like if you want to say like foods are like the worst for you, it's obviously the United States, but the worst foods in general. We're gonna start with number six, and it's gonna be Sweden. Ed, Sweden is terrible. Um, blood pancakes, fermented fish, bizarre pizza combinations, Scandinavian food. It's like they haven't gotten past the Viking era, and they still eat like that.
SPEAKER_05What is that with the fucking fermented shit?
SPEAKER_04I have no, I guess it's fucking from the Viking days.
SPEAKER_05Like it's just how they Yeah, they used to do uh yeah, that's from the fucking like 1400s. But they still eat like that. Yeah, like salted fish, yeah. That's all ugly. Like just dried fish. They just put it outside and let the flies get over and just dry it.
SPEAKER_04Let me just let me just tell you why this is a big thing for me. I don't like blood anything. I don't like blood. I hate the smell of copper. I hate pennies for that reason. Like, I don't know what it is, but I have a lot of blood.
SPEAKER_05They've had like a blood pudding, right? That's England. Fuck, of course, it's England. Yeah. What is in a blood pudding? It's fucking blood from various whatever. Let's look that up. I never had blood pudding. I've been to England several times.
SPEAKER_03Have you ever had figgy pudding? What do you say? Figgy. Figgy?
SPEAKER_05Get figgy with it. That's funny. All right. It is um yeah, four mix of four cups of blood. Black pudding, blood sausage, like a Viking. Jeez. Alright. So Sweden, huh? I've never been to Sweden. And what were the foods?
SPEAKER_04Blood, like blood pancakes, they have like fermented fish. Um, they eat like weird shit on their pizza design, really pizza. Um like this is weird. This is a bunch of weird fucking food, dude. Hmm.
SPEAKER_05All right, number six. So is that like the country itself you're saying is the worst food, right? Or just those types of foods?
SPEAKER_04Ed, what was the pick's top six? It was the countries. Okay, then whether you just answered your own fucking question.
SPEAKER_05Sweden is your number six, nothing.
SPEAKER_04It's sweeten the country, it's sweetened the fucking country.
SPEAKER_03So you're saying the whole fucking country of Sweden, then Jesus Christ. I'm on the fucking podcast of Courtney.
SPEAKER_05Sweden is your number six. Okay, got it. Yes. All right, Grant, my number six is fucking Thailand. Uh-oh. Street vendors in Thailand. Okay. Now, first off, you should never eat street vendor food from Thailand. But why the fuck do they sell it? Do you go to Thailand? They try to mix you up them drinks and stuff, like them sugar drinks or Kool-Aid and pop a lemon in there, and they start spinning it around and shit and fucking shake it, and like like they like they on the movie set of fucking cocktail or something, Tom Cruise, and just fucking bartending on you. All right. Well, there's flies fucking everywhere. There's literal, literally dead fucking flies in the fucking water or the sugar drink, like Kool-Aid, whatever the hell they make out there. It is there's dead bugs in the damn drink. And then they put that shit in a fucking plastic bag, right? They fucking shake that shit up and fucking pour it in like a Ziploc bag.
SPEAKER_04Shit's not even cold. It's like all fucking hot and warm.
SPEAKER_05You got floating fucking dead bugs everywhere in that bag, and then they cut a little hole on it.
SPEAKER_04How they don't have the henavirus is insane.
SPEAKER_05Good God, man. And there's all other shit, like just random creatures on sticks, man. Now, Thailand street markets, like mainly around the cities. Damn. Now, you go to Thailand, like Bangkok, and like the nicer areas, they have legit like Thai food and restaurants that are cleaner, right? It's alright, but let me tell you, dog, majority of that food, eh. I'm good. I'm good. Go ahead. Your number five.
SPEAKER_04Ed. Number five is going to be Russia. Every all their soups are cold. They use a shit ton of mayonnaise. And I don't I don't dislike mayonnaise, but I do dislike a lot of mayonnaise. Um and they have like these weird mystery meat dishes. And I really I would bet you it's 95% of it. It's probably like literally stray cats and dogs and rats. Like it's gross. You're not gonna convince me that Russian food's great. You're just not going to.
SPEAKER_05They eat like they in the fucking Cold War.
SPEAKER_04Everything has mayonnaise in it, Ed.

Like they they were really famous for Tim Hortons. But they've been having issues with like the hiring process and how the company's now owned by like some other fucking country now. It's not even really technically Canadian. And what they've been doing is uh hiring immigrants first before their own citizens, because that's a Canadian policy or something like that. Like uh for these outsourced businesses. So Tim Hortons isn't the Tim Hortons of old, I'm sorry to say. All right, it's not the Tim Hortons of the 90s. Okay, enough about fucking Tim Hortons next.

Throw some creole seasoning, a little bit of dash creole season on top of that crocodile grant. Throw it on, saute it. Saute the bitch. And then throw some lemon after you're done. A little bit more butter at the end, too. It's one of the healthiest meats you can eat. Alright, you finished? Yeah, I am.

SPEAKER_05Okay. All right. So cool. Uh, so that was your number three, Iceland.
SPEAKER_04Yes.
SPEAKER_05All right. Number three for me, Grant. I'm gonna have to put I'm gonna have to put England there. We talked about England last podcast, about British food, about fucking everything else besides fish and chips is trash in that country. But you order a fish and chips anywhere, some fucking brinky dink pub, you get them some of the best fish and chips you ever had in your life.
SPEAKER_04But and you can also get fish and chips that's made the exact same way at Captain D's. You can.
SPEAKER_05No, you you really can, but it's something I don't know. It's something about eating fish and chips in an English pub that's way different. So I guess it's more the atmosphere that's involved in it, too. God, you don't fucking know what I'm fucking talking about anyway.
SPEAKER_03Oi, mate.
SPEAKER_05But yeah, fish and chips is the only thing good in England. Oi, bruv. Fuck fuck tea and biscuits, yes. If we have any British people listening to this podcast. Fuck tea and biscuits. Biscuits and trumpets. Biscuits. And fuck fucking uh what's the other thing? Beans and toasts. Hey, what happened? What happened to us not cussing? What happened to us not cussing the first 15 minutes? I don't know. We we don't care about that anymore. Okay. But British, like beans and toasts, I mean they they they they eat like they fucking get blasted by Germany, like it's World War II all over again. Like they in the shelter.
SPEAKER_04And every time we make a comparison, you always bring up some sort of war. It's a comparison. It's always like it's cold. They eat like they're in the cold war.
SPEAKER_05I'm a history buff, Grant.
SPEAKER_04I know, but the only history you talk about is war.
SPEAKER_03Well, that's like majority of history. That's funny.
SPEAKER_04Oh man. They're eating like they're in World War II, man. All right. I can literally play this back and you've thought you've made three different war references in this top six.
SPEAKER_05Oh shit, I did mention the Cold War.
SPEAKER_04Fuck. We're not finished yet. You might. Oh man.
SPEAKER_05Alright. Number two. Go.
SPEAKER_04And number two is Thailand for me. And now here's the thing is yes, I've had a lot of Thai food. And there's the thing is there's a lot of good typhoon. I love their spicy. I love their spicy rice and stuff like that. Um, what I don't like is the fucking fried bugs and boiled fucking ants and termites and shit and fucking fried spiders and shit that they try to. I don't like none of that. And I think that's garbage.
SPEAKER_05Uh all right, so I've had fried scorpion. Why? Fried baby scorpion. Here's the thing is what makes you want to eat that? Dude, fucking just try it out, man. I know. Just want to have the experience. Bruh, man. Just want to experience life. No, you could actually order it at fucking like restaurants. But why would you? Why would you? Like would you look at it? Just tastes like burnt fucking. Hey, hey, look for this cockroach on me.
SPEAKER_04Put that thing up for me. That's what I'm saying. Like, that's it's the same thing.
SPEAKER_05Nah, so uh I also had uh um raw snake for some jungle. Transula, tarantula bat, some jungle training we did out there in Cobergull. I had to I had to eat snake for uh part of the training.
SPEAKER_04Are we talking about war again? Fucking damn. Son of a bitch! No, for real.
SPEAKER_05I'm just saying like I had to eat a snake.
SPEAKER_04Here's the thing, you know what? I'm gonna make a bet. On the next podcast, I will I will send you a hundred bucks if you can go the whole podcast without talking about any type of war, any type of military background, or anything that has to do with military. If you can go one whole podcast without mentioning it in any shape or form, I will send you a hundred bucks.
SPEAKER_05All right, bet.
SPEAKER_04Uh all right. That's the fourth reference. So yeah.
SPEAKER_05So uh so you said Thailand was number two, right? Yes. All right, my number two grant is fucking Iraq. Okay, all right, Iraq. All right, listen, I get us accustomed when you're having like a fucking big old dish of rice and fucking meats and vegetables. You put a big old dish in them in, you fucking put your hand in there and eat it with your hand and shit like that. No, no more for me. Uh, we got some of the worst fucking bug that just spread across our camp for doing that shit. For like an we had this grand opening of this like port of entry, and uh they they brought out these dishes of food and they look great, don't get me wrong. And it tells the truth, tasted pretty good. But the issue was well, everyone didn't wash their fucking hands, and everyone was digging in there with their hands and picking up the meats and like eating with their fucking hands. No, dog. Oh, and then they actually cut a fucking slit of fucking goats' throat for the opening too, and let the blood spill for the grand opening of the port of entry.
SPEAKER_04The fuck are you? Where you where are you at? Like, what are you doing here? Is this like a ritual? Is this like a Illuminati?
SPEAKER_05Uh I I was a Marine. Oh, I get that. No. Well, I'm trying not to go in the war story, but here we go.
SPEAKER_03Bam.
SPEAKER_05No, we um we were in charge of opening, assisting this um Iraq to open this port of entry between them and Syria. It's a grand opening of a brand new port of entry. So the Syrians and Iraqis could go through the borders and stuff like that legally. And uh our job was for security and to screen people as they came through. But we had one day when the port was finally going to be open, they had the grand ceremony of fucking slicing a goat's throat, letting it bleed out, and just sat and let it sit there. I wanted to cook to some bitch, but I guess they didn't want to cook it. Because we were just eating MREs most of the time. Some good old goat. That's what I wanted to eat. All right, Grant, you done looking up what your number one is? Go ahead.
SPEAKER_04No, I know what my number one is. Um, I'm just waiting for you to finish. I'm doing it. I'm just waiting for you to shut up. Number one is England, and I'm gonna tell you why, Ed. You're right, the fish and chips.
SPEAKER_05Because I talked about it last uh episode. That's why.
SPEAKER_04Well, Ed. Um you're right. They eat a lot of beans on toast, jellied eel, Ed, mushy peas, bland seasoning, no seasoning, they don't use a lot of salt on things. Jellied eel, Ed, figgy pudding, blood pudding. What is this? What is this food? Like, they have the worst food in the world, like they really do have the worst food in the world. Yeah, like if I went on a visit there, I would have to just fast the whole time I'm there. Like, I would literally try to eat American food. I would look for American restaurants over there.
SPEAKER_05Alright. So you never want to use England. That's a good one. I'll give it that. Grant the worst country, the or the worst food from a country, in my opinion, it has to be fucking has to be the good old Middle East again. Fucking Kuwait. Now, Kuwait, they got some five-star restaurants, but it's not Kuwaiti food at these five-star restaurants. It's like, you know, American, you know, it's European dishes and shit like that, a lot of these five-star restaurants. But Kuwait's the same fucking way, dog. Like there's a lot of there's some good places you can go on the you know, markets and stuff like that. But it's slim pickings. And you know, they got the little what is it called, the lamb or whatever on the fucking rotating thing. It's a big old chunk of meat, you know, that'll slice off. You gotta be careful with those. You gotta go to ones that you know that are good. Because some of them that meat's been sitting there for fucking days. Them slicing that shit off. But it's Kuwait to me. And those are the places I've all been to and ate the food in the country.
SPEAKER_04Ed, you thought I was done? I have a number higher than one.
SPEAKER_05Oh shit. What is it called?
SPEAKER_04Super, it's the super, super one. I don't know. I can't come up with a name for it. You ready for this? Yeah. Are you ready? It's fucking India. It's India.
SPEAKER_05Oh, yeah, it's India.
SPEAKER_04India is the worst fucking food in the world.
SPEAKER_05I never put you on my list because I never fucking with their Yeah, well, it doesn't matter.
SPEAKER_04I've seen enough videos of where it's just straight hot garbage. So let me tell you something. You got street vendors that are by the the the river where everybody takes a bath, it's got shit floating in it, so you got shit water everywhere. Yeah, and then they and then they have yeah, they do that, and they got flies and bugs and shit in everywhere, and they're fucking like scooping up, they don't use spoons, they scoop up their water with their hands, they swatch it around in their mouth and they spit it on the cup and they hand it to you.
SPEAKER_05You ever seen that video of those guys?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it's like the guy that's like stirring your food with his feet and shit, like fucking, like, what are we doing here?
SPEAKER_05Oh, we I'm not gonna watch because it's a podcast. I wanted to show the video of that one uh that that those guys that did a sp those white dudes that did a spoof off it, and they were like pretending to be like an Indian, you know, market on the market street or something making all that shit.
SPEAKER_01That shit's terrible.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, but you know how they do the little flip, they do try to do like all the fancy shit. Yeah, try to make the food and put their hands in all that shit.
SPEAKER_04How about they're just not fucking cook? That's what they need to do.
SPEAKER_05You ever seen that video of that guy with the big old skillet with like oil that look like it's been sitting there for like a couple years, putting eggs in it and frying the egg? That shit looks gross. Those eggs turned out black. No, no, thank you. So it's India. Yeah, that's a good one, Grant. It doesn't count, but that's a good one. Alright, let's close this up. Alright, buddy. You ready to go move on? Let's move on.
SPEAKER_04Because now I'm angry about Indian food. Damn. Bothers you that much. I was just thinking about them fucking drinking it and then pissing it into a cup for you.
SPEAKER_05Alright, let's go to X. Let's talk about X, bruh. Let's talk about some X. See what is some gaming news we got. Let me share our screen.
SPEAKER_04Ed, I might have to grab my charger in a second, but we'll see.
SPEAKER_05Charger? Grab your charger? It's possible.
SPEAKER_04Well, go grab it now.
SPEAKER_05It's possible, Ed. Now, where is it at right now? It's in the other room. Let me go grab it. Well, go get it because I know you got to pull it on. Let's keep on going.
SPEAKER_01I gotta check my phone every minute of the day. I'm a little teenage bitch.
SPEAKER_04You know what? If you weren't my best friend, I'd hate you.
SPEAKER_01I gotta check my fucking phone. I'll be right back.
SPEAKER_04How about you shut your face? How about you shut your face?
SPEAKER_01I'm gonna go check my check mixes.
SPEAKER_04What's that shirt say? The legend of what?
SPEAKER_05Legend of dad.
SPEAKER_04Children of the wild.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, my kids got it for me. Were you about to say something bad about it?
SPEAKER_04No, because your kids got it for you. But if anybody else would have got it for you, I'd have ate you up. Can't do it. Alright, I'll be right back.
SPEAKER_05Oh, hurry the fuck up. Keep going. You probably charged probably in fucking mom's house or some shit.
SPEAKER_06That's not.
SPEAKER_05I know this podcast can't go on without me, but just try. We'll be fine. We'll be fine. Get the fuck out. Hurry up. God, fucking ugly. Want to stab my fucking eyeballs out. Alright, so let's continue with some gaming news. Game Ramp Post, and actually, we just talked about this at the beginning of our podcast. All right, so Game Ramp Post, what was once a clear meta class for the past Diablo 4 seasons, has unfortunately become a shell of his former self, which is unfortunate considering that the Paladin is one of the two classes added to the Lord of Hatred. They're absolutely right on this. We talked about it earlier. Paladin used to be a fun class to play. Well, let me let me rephrase that. It's still a fun class to play. It's just you you notice that you're hitting a wall very early. So you actually gotta put in a lot more time. You know, compared to like Barbarian, which is like whirlwind, you really don't need a lot to really get started in Barbarian and start pushing. You can probably put get to Barbarian to Torment level 12 real easy. Alright, you ready, buddy?
SPEAKER_04The ratings just went back up.
SPEAKER_05Alright. Alright. Alright, so I'm gonna explain the new Diablo season two grant. Go ahead. Explain it. I'm gonna hide this real quick before we get into it. Alright. So what did they add in the new expansion grant?
unknownI don't know.
SPEAKER_05There are gonna be some spoilers story-wise. So if you haven't played it yet, which you know, if you're a Diablo fan fan, I'm not sure why you haven't yet. A flann. A flann? Fland. Anyway, let's talk about Diablo. You're frozen, dude. You're frozen. Your face is frozen. There you go. Alright, and now you're back to being fucking ugly. Alright. So uh again, all right. So let's talk about the new expansion. All right, they added a story, of course, new area. Um, they added two new classes, technically, uh Paladin and Warlock. Uh they revamped a lot of things. Alright, so this season 13, uh you basically have the uh Roderick Cube now, which is like a way to increase another thing you can do to get gear, build your own gear, basically. Taking like a blue item that has you might have found that dropped a greater affix on strength, and it only has that one stat on it, a greater affix on strength. You can take it to this cube and start adding your own stats by putting the right items in, like an offensive item. You put it in the cube with the equipment and a rule offensive stat for the next affix. That's you can do that for four stats, right? Like any other regular gear, build it up to a legendary gear, even ancestral, since you have the affix on it. And you can pick and choose your own stats on a piece of gear by trying to wait for the perfect roll. Now you still got to wait for the perfect roll on the affixes, of course, right? Um, but you can build your own gear to get to the gear that you want a lot earlier to start off on builds. So if you have a build that needs a lot of maximum resource on gear, you can just pop in the resource token with the piece of gear, and bam, you'll get one of the rolls and resources. Then you can re-roll those stats if you get the wrong resource roll. So they have added a lot of customization to the gear, like it's really good. You have the same stuff, like you can add an aspect, you can re-roll one stat once you uh make the gear or whatever gear you find around the world. You still have all that stuff, you still have tempering where you can add a stat to another stat to the gear and build it up and actually get an affix out of those if you roll it enough times to make it roll an affix. But you have all that stuff still. The other main thing they added is called war plans. So you know how you have Nightmare Dungeons Grant?
SPEAKER_04Hey, hold on a second. Let me relieve and come back in real quick. Just real quick, because we're having we're having connection issues.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, no, you're having connection issues. I think it's you, but it's probably you. Come on. Hurry Florida.
SPEAKER_04Hurry the fucker. And Florida's garbage.
SPEAKER_05Anyway, come on, man. Hurry. You're fine now. You sure?
unknownAll right.
SPEAKER_05I mean, you just have a little delay, that's it.
SPEAKER_04Okay, well, that's keep going.
SPEAKER_05Okay, so I'm gonna finish talking. Thank you. Thank you. All right, so what was that? War plans. They introduced war plans, grant. You know how you have nightmare dungeons? You have the pits, you have helltides, yeah, you have infernal hordes, we do, you have the bosses, right? Yeah, from all paths. Season they got all of that stuff brought back, except now you're building a war plan where you can get passives into those you know type of dungeons and pits and stuff like that. So basically, you have like a screen, like it pops up with a platform with like let's say a pit, a helltide, a nightmare dungeon, or sometimes it's all mixed and matched, you have multiple pits, whatever. But there's also these little affixes on the war plan as you're moving through that gives you like bonus gold, bonus salvaging materials, stuff like that, right? And then you as you do those and finish the war plan, you talk to a certain somebody, don't want to spoil it.
SPEAKER_04Hold on, hold on one second. Let's let's back this up for a second. Did they steal that from Path of Exile?
SPEAKER_05Kind of. See what you're talking about is sounds awfully familiar. Yeah, but you're talking about an infinite map. They shorten it into the max of five events that you can build up to. And then once you do those five events, that war plan's done and you can move on to the next war plan. Come on. I mean, no, no, no, you no, you're right. But it's a great steal. It is a perfect steal. And let me explain why.
SPEAKER_04No, I get it. It's just, it's just, I mean, that is show that it shows. That is shows that they needed competition to give them ideas.
SPEAKER_05Okay, so Path of Exile didn't steal nothing from Diablo. Correct. You're saying they stole nothing. Oh no, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_01We're gonna play with the advocate.
SPEAKER_05We're gonna play the stupid fucking Merry-Garound that you started in the middle of the room. No, no, no. I'm saying that the actual I mean, the actual one didn't steal anything from Diablo.
SPEAKER_04Well, yeah, I mean the actual fucking look of the game. I mean, let's just be honest. I mean it's the whole engine.
SPEAKER_05That's how competition works, big dialogue.
SPEAKER_04But what I'm but what I'm saying, but what I'm saying is it's it's kind of like it's kind of like I don't know, it's kind of like they took it's kind of like when they take uh, you know, when when when uh supermarkets make their own brand of cola. Yeah. Mountain holler, and it's supposed to be like Mountain Dew.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, uh, so anyway, so what they did instead of having an infinite grind of fucking Atlas map that Poe 2 has, which you know, we'll talk about them later here, too, with their new expansion um or new update. Uh but Diablo has made taking that concept of only shortening in the five things, and you get a bunch of rewards for whatever you accumulated in those war plans. And then you can restart a war plan and you can level them up. You level these war plans up depending on the event, right? It's either pits, helltides, whatever, and you give you passive points to put in to make those events better.
SPEAKER_04Hey, real quick, I'm restarting, I'm coming back in. It's it's just doing it too bad.
SPEAKER_05Shut up. I'll keep talking. Keep talking. I'll keep talking. So they make these uh war plans, you get passive points, you can put them in, like let's say the helltides passive tree. Uh, you can make them uh spawn this worm that when it shoots out, you know, you'll see it in the helltides, but now it shoots out these maggots that drop like EXP orbs that give you a shit ton of experience. You can add like uh pit boss, or not pit boss, but layer bosses to the helltides as you're doing them. And you can do all types of other stuff. Same thing with like nightmare dungeons. You can add stuff in there, they all have their own passive tree. Let me get Grant back in here. All right, so you you can have all these passive trees for the different events that are in the game, and you can put the passive points in and make the events funner.
SPEAKER_04More fun.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Um, so not only that, you know, they have the um they added another place where you can move up in tiers. I forget the name of it, but it's a very rare token that drops that you can enter this place that you can move up in tiers with a party and get rewards that way. Uh, they added a new boss, which is, of course, um uh what's his name? Fucking what's his name? Matthias, right? Mephisto? Yeah, Mephisto. Fuck it on.
unknownGod.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, Mephisto is like it's a pretty cool boss fight, but the story is what got me. I think they did a good job into adding this expansion, finally getting back a little bit more to the roots. They got rid of this annoying character that's pretty much worthless that they've had in every fucking cutscene, including the opening cutscene of this one, but they did something to her that needed to happen because she was getting kind of fucking just kind of very bland and uninteresting. So they did that, but they brought back my boy from Diablo 3.
SPEAKER_03Deckard Kane?
SPEAKER_05Well, Kane was in there. Deckard Cane. Yeah, you you have your different Kane in there, right? Come with me! Something happens to him, though, that's fucked up too. Anyway, uh, they brought my boy Tyriol back. You remember Tyriol? God, your fucking connection sucks. Do you hear me? You sure? They brought my boy Tyriol back. Okay. You remember Tyriel? Yeah, they brought him back and they brought him to get back in a good way. Good. But anyway, I think uh overall they're in a step in a big direction, like a huge jump for them. Like finally, they did something good. All right, for Diablo. Only issue is that now PO PoE2's coming with their big update in 29 May. Uh-oh. And they are revamping their entire endgame. Revamping it, Grant. Adding a bunch of new content to new chapters. I like this. I like the competition. Yeah. Poe 2's, you know, triple G, GGG, they dropping it. They dropping it hard. They're dropping their nuts in the table on May 29th. So we're gonna see. We're gonna see. All right, Grant, since your fucking connection's bad. That's good. It's good now? Yeah, it's good. It's pretty good. But yeah, so anyway, to wrap everything up, Diablo 4 moving the right direction. I like it. I'm still playing it. It came out the end of April, around that time. What is April 24th, if I remember correctly? Yeah. Anyway, I've been playing it non-stop. I'm still playing it. So far, I'm still building up my barbarian to max them out, but I've played the companion druid, really fun. Druid has an S-tier fucking rank in there. Um, Warlock was kind of fun. All right, I'm sure. The next patch, they'll fix some of that stuff up. And they really need to buff the paladin. I don't know what's wrong with the palette. They gotta add some more damage or something to that, fix some of those skills.
SPEAKER_04I'm just joking, I'm not frozen. All right, let's do it.
SPEAKER_05What?
SPEAKER_03Oh, you weren't frozen? I was acting like I was frozen.
SPEAKER_05I was acting like I was frozen. Oh, that's funny. So, all right, that's the album path of XL2. Let's move on. Let's talk about some game news.
SPEAKER_03Let's get back to it. All right. Let me pull this up real quick, buddy. Let me pull this up real quick.
SPEAKER_05Oh, there it is right there.
SPEAKER_03Show duh.
SPEAKER_05Quick question, Ed.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. Hanavirus.
SPEAKER_05Is it going to be the new COVID-19? Uh I don't think so with this administration. You might get everyone set, but I don't, but I don't think they're gonna lock down shit like they did last time. Let me rephrase that, depending on where you are, depending what state you're in. That's true. Florida, we good, dog. We good. We good. You got anything to add? No, you don't fucking got anything to add. Anyway, so let's move on. Alright, so I already talked about this. It talks about the paladin being like fucking way, I would say, nerfed this season. Uh, so let's move on to that. But yeah, uh, I just uh it's I think it's a ball drop on Blizzard's part for that though, because the you know the paladin was supposed to be a premier class. Uh that's from April 19th. Okay, so we have nothing bookmarked. No, we don't. Alright. So let's talk about something else, Grant. Are you playing any games right now?
SPEAKER_04I'm actually playing, I'm actually playing, and I just started it because um I wanted to play it. Um Resident Evil Village.
SPEAKER_05I mean, that's a good game, dude. It is. I just started it.
SPEAKER_04It's a good game. Um I wanted to play it because I wanted to um because I've played every single one of them. That's the only one I haven't played so far.
SPEAKER_05That's Resident Evil 8, right? Yes, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Dude, they come in and they spray his wife.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_05My boy Chris is a murderer. What happened? What's wrong with my boy? Just keep playing the game, bro. All right, all right. Just keep playing the game. You're gonna find out some things. Okay, you're gonna find out.
SPEAKER_04That's what I'm playing right now. It's not no, it's not new, but uh and then after that I'm gonna play Crimson Desert.
SPEAKER_05I played uh Pragmata. You like it? Yeah, it was great. It's good. I give it a solid 8.5. Really? Nice. It's not Crimson Desert? I did beat Crimson Desert. I liked it. I give that. I don't know what I give that right now. I loved it 300 fucking hours into it. Shit. There's some things that you didn't like about it. I mean, if 300 hours into it, I gotta give it like at least a nine. Yeah, but what did you not like about it? I wish there's more. Honestly, I wish there's more skills. Like there's a shit ton of skills, don't get me wrong. Like powers and stuff. I was listening, wish there was a little bit more. Like, I wish there was more like invasions where you had to clear more enemies out instead of like, yeah, once you do it, it's done and over, right? I wish they could reinvade and you'd have to fucking do stuff, and they added more little not multiplayer stuff. I'm talking about like more action, like active events in the world that you could do while you're doing other stuff, right? While you're questing or whatever. That's the only thing I would add to it. And I'm you know, they might, they might down the road. Uh, but Pragmata was a good game. I thought it was solid. It was a good story, very heartwarming. Um actually good gameplay, too. It was a lot of good. I liked how I liked the hacking and the gunplay mixed in together. It was pretty you had to get used to it, but it was good. That's cool. Yeah, Pragmata was a great good game. Good on Capcom. I played Monster Hunter Stories 3.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_05It's a basically an RPG. Kind of, it's turn-based, turn-based RPG, but it's you know how they just take the Monster Hunter world and made a turn-based RPG. The last two were pretty decent. This one was actually really good. It's fun. Interesting.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Good, good turn-based RPG. A lot of very um went on the radar because Crimson Dead is there and that game came out around the same time. So it went on the radar.
SPEAKER_04Ed, what's the next what's the next Square Enix game?
SPEAKER_02Oh fuck, dude.
SPEAKER_04I don't know.
SPEAKER_05It's that what is that?
SPEAKER_02Like the next big one. Let me see what it's called. It's called something. Let me see.
SPEAKER_05Uh, they got a couple of good looking uh like uh that HD2D stuff. Yeah, those pixelated games coming out. They got a few of those coming out. There's one that's called. But I I think their next huge game is of course is going to be the next Final Fantasy VII remake game, the third one.
SPEAKER_02The Adventures of Elliot. Yeah, that's it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05That looked pretty decent.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. They got a new exp, they got a new Final Fantasy XIV expansion.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, they oh, let's talk about that. Ever code. Don Walker was a fucking failure. So they went back and the the creators kind of like are saving face. Because now they're saying, oh well, Don Walker was meant now for just uh take a little break, right? A little break. You know, it's meant for the creators going full force, you know, all the fucking time, working hours and stuff like that. Don Walker's a break for them. Okay, that's what they're saying for Don Walker. But Don Walker failed because it took you away from being the main focus on the story and the uh scions, and introduced this shitty, dumb fucking character uh that took up majority of the Don Walker story. So they're pretending like that didn't happen. That's not canon. Like Don Walker is not canon, it was like a side thing. And the new expansion is going to go back to focusing on you and all the favorite characters that you know people got and grow have grown to love and stuff like that playing the game. So and they're rebuilt things.
SPEAKER_02Listen, just happen. Yeah, you're breaking up, bro. Alright, you ready? This is whatever cold I was talking. I'm listening. I'm pretty sure I was I'm sure, pretty sure my mouth was moving and words were coming out.
SPEAKER_05I'm listening. I'm waiting for you to put down your fucking knowledge there, buddy.
SPEAKER_02Two new jobs, Ed. Tank and physical range DPS. Level cap increase from 100 to 110. Two new cities. No, new cities, distinctive new areas, gigantic constructs and other monstrous threats to overcome, new allies, new dungeons, new trials, new raid series, new ultimate raids, PvP updates, and ongoing content crafting, new gear, etc., etc. etc.
SPEAKER_05Alright. You know what they're the main thing they're adding? Well they're fixing that combo shit. So class is a little bit more different to play. Like you notice how you had a you had a hit button, then your next thing was a combo you hit, and then the next thing was another combo to hit, right? Yeah. They're making the classes more unique and they're getting rid of that stuff, and they're actually uh adding in a real-time dodge and parry for the main tank. So instead of like relying on a parry stat and you just do it automatically, you can actually do it by doing the action. So Claire Obscure, you remember what they did with Claire Obscure, right? Who did they invite? Square Instagram.
SPEAKER_02Surely they didn't bring them in for this.
SPEAKER_05Oh, they uh Final Fantasy 14 is a big thing right now.
SPEAKER_02I know, but I hope, I mean, here's the thing is I hope, I hope, no, I hope they brought them in for something else and they just used them as like, hey, we got this other thing we're working on, throw some ideas for this one as well.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, probably, maybe, maybe so, green. Um, what up, critical?
SPEAKER_02What up, man? Critical in the house.
SPEAKER_05What's up, baby?
SPEAKER_02Listen, dude. Listen. What do you think the new classes are going to be? If you were to guess.
SPEAKER_04A tank and a ranged DPS.
SPEAKER_05Hmm. A tank and a ranged DPS. Ranged DPS, uh let's see, I would go with like they already have the bar. They already have they already have a calculator, technically, right? Or is that called uh something else? I don't know. Um, I'd probably go with like uh shit. I can't think of any other classes they already don't have, man.
SPEAKER_02So they're probably gonna like create one.
SPEAKER_05I guess they got most of the classes.
SPEAKER_02What if the t what if what if it was what if the soldier is?
SPEAKER_04What if they made you know what they need to make? A soldier class.
SPEAKER_05Oh shit. Bringing some Final Fantasy 7 up.
SPEAKER_03That'd be tight.
SPEAKER_05They got monks and stuff like that. I'm trying to think of something out of the box that they've had in a Final Fantasy before. I just can't think of any others. They have sages, they have ninjas, they have samurai, they have dragoon, they have the warrior, they got the uh summoner, they got the uh bard. Oh, hold on, do they have a bard? They have the red mage. Yeah, they do have a bard. They have something similar to the bigger. Oh god.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Alright.
SPEAKER_02What about tank?
SPEAKER_05Tank? They have the dark knight. They have the warrior, they have the um gun blade.
SPEAKER_04That could be the soldier.
SPEAKER_05The soldier is a tank? They have a paladin. Damn, dude. Oh they have all the geomancer geomancer? That'd be a good range, DPS. I like that. Time mage. They got something like the time age. Beastmaster, necrom nah, I don't think they go necromancer. Chemists, no, those are all from Final Fantasy Tactics. Mystic Knight, Rune Knight. That would be cool, because that would be Engineer. They already got an engineer. It's called the um Mech the Mechanist. Mechanist, yeah. Geomancer would be cool. Geomancer would be cool. But some some you can already cast Earth skills with the some of the casting classes, though. I wonder how they would that would make any sense.
SPEAKER_02I like that. Well, I mean yes, you whatever.
SPEAKER_05What's that?
SPEAKER_02So wherever you're uh um wherever you're fighting would be where you what skills you use.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Yeah, that'd be true. Runite would be cool. That'd be like uh Celeste from uh well was she a Mystic Knight or a Run Knight? I think she was a Run Knight. Runite Yeah, Celeste from Final Fantasy VI.
SPEAKER_02Nelson, what's up, man?
SPEAKER_05Oh because technically Edgar was what, uh mechanist? Engineer, right? Edgar from Final Fantasy VI.
SPEAKER_02Okay. I'm trying to think of a class that would be popular in a Final Fantasy series. Yeah, but he used tools and stuff like a mechanist in a sense.
SPEAKER_05That's what I just said.
SPEAKER_02Hmm.
SPEAKER_05That's hard to think. A holy swordsman? No, that'd be like Geomancer would be cool. I think that would be cool. Yeah, something Nelson. Uh yeah, Geomancer, that'd be cool. That'd be like the range DPS, though, right? Yeah, it'd have to be. But uh for a tank, I'm trying to trying to pull that Final Fantasy knowledge. I don't know what they would add in Final Fantasy 14 as a new tank. Probably something different. It wouldn't be something like a paladin or warrior, and it wouldn't be I mean, because you have the gun blade guy and the um death the dark knight, so it would make something different, like something that would be an off tank. Is there making a main tank or off tank?
SPEAKER_04It didn't say soldier would be tight.
SPEAKER_05Oh, that's another thing. Like the classes are focusing on main tanks and off tank classes, so there's no longer just a tank class, you have main tank and off tank classes that can do different things.
SPEAKER_02Like, I think it would be cool if you're a soldier and you started like rank F and then worked your way up to rank A.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. I don't know. I think it'd be cool to have like uh not like uh now you disconnect the dude. Oh, there's a camera. Um something like with speed or something like that. You know, something fair.
SPEAKER_04It could be Mystic Knight. I like that. Mystic Knight would be cool.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, Mystic Knight. Yeah. That'd be pretty cool. Rune Knight or Mystic Knight? Yeah, both of those would be pretty cool.
SPEAKER_06Alright.
SPEAKER_05Grant. Let's talk about something else. Let's talk about something else. Critical since you're here. We were talking about Canada earlier. About uh how they're about to become the 51st state. I'm sure you'll like that. Uh, but now we're talking about about Canadian food. Yeah, Ed said it was terrible.

SPEAKER_05No, you didn't. That was yeah, Canada on your list, bruh. It said worse food. I said it was a delicacy worst food. What do you think about that critical?
SPEAKER_02I said it was a delicacy of stars.

SPEAKER_04I just don't know enough about it. Then why the fuck did you put it on your list? No, because what I do know about it, I don't like.
SPEAKER_05Um critical though. We were playing Last Epic. Have you played that yet? It's another Diablo-like game. I've heard of it. Is it good? Is it good? Yeah, it's alright. It's pretty good.
