Intro
Introduction and Greetings
00:00:36
john hewitt
And we're back. It's been a while. It's John Cat coming at you live from the Cat House. Yeah, i don't I don't see any reason to fuck around.
00:00:49
john hewitt
But at the same time, I don't have your... Is this it? What? Negative. I don't have your fucking shit on the soundboard anymore. So we're just going to hit them with the old...
00:01:26
john hewitt
Clutch Commando himself The Mayor of Monte Fisto Harrison, how are you doing this afternoon? It's
00:01:34
Clutch Commander
I'm doing pretty good.
00:01:36
john hewitt
good to hear It's been a while
00:01:38
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:01:39
john hewitt
We'll launch right into... Fuck it. We'll go segment one. Hit this bad boy. Are you threatening me?
Gen Con Reflections
00:01:47
john hewitt
I didn't go to Gen Con. I said that on the last episode. I had some family shit that ate up my money and my time.
00:01:54
john hewitt
You did. How did it go? Did you see anything cool?
00:01:59
Clutch Commander
It went very cool. I was Very happy to go. i saw a lot of cool stuff that I wish I had better researched what was happening when and made better use of my time.
00:02:21
john hewitt
To be fair, I think we we booked ourselves into a fucking corner because we were literally like, well, that ends at 12. It starts at one. Like, i think we should have spread our like i think we should have spread our stuff out a little bit.
00:02:35
Clutch Commander
Uh, definitely at least an hour in between things. the vendor hall was huge, but it's also crowded with people.
00:02:39
john hewitt
totally
00:02:46
Clutch Commander
So personally, I don't like big groups like that. So I would say no more than two or three hours in there. And you just kind of start at one end and work your way down.
00:03:02
john hewitt
I mean, is there that much shit that you can spend more than one day in the vendor hall? I mean, you you found enough stuff that you're like, well, let's take another spin through. or or could you just go through the vendor hall and then spend the rest of your convention playing games with people that are like like stringing up three guys being like, guys, I got this sweet ass fucking card game. Let's go grab a table.
00:03:23
Clutch Commander
So you could do that kind of throughout the and event. I think spending one full day at the event at the vendor hall is a lot.
00:03:40
john hewitt
for a full day, just spending it in there.
00:03:43
Clutch Commander
Yeah, it took.
00:03:46
Clutch Commander
There is. Every row is 100 like or
00:03:58
Clutch Commander
so there's like thirty five rows of just vendors
00:04:03
john hewitt
I've also seen some people just use that as like a meetup, like they'll go, They'll book a couple games, but then it just seems for like three to four days, they just hook up with people that they, you know, they play games online, they do whatever. But like once a year, they meet at Gen Con, they high five and smack each other on the ass. They'll go out for some drinks, catch some shows.
00:04:23
john hewitt
But like not everybody, i think our scheduling really screwed us. But I think like... i I don't know. Honestly, I didn't go, but it just seems like not very many people schedule themselves themselves out the way that we did. i think I think our our eyes were a little bit bigger than our stomachs.
00:04:41
Clutch Commander
We wanted stuff to do all the time. Which, yes, no.
00:04:47
john hewitt
Like a theme park. Which it's not.
00:04:53
Clutch Commander
Like the vendor hall, there was probably a few booths that had I had more time, I would have looked at them a little bit harder.
00:05:05
john hewitt
Absolutely.
00:05:06
Clutch Commander
But it's also, you know, 10,000 vendors selling 100 different products.
Gundam Models and Games
00:05:17
john hewitt
yeah. Yeah.
00:05:19
Clutch Commander
So it's like I'm selling... my company's RPG right here. And then there's probably 50 vendors in there also selling the same thing, but they're just Dan down the block.
00:05:32
john hewitt
yeah
00:05:32
Clutch Commander
They're, what was the one?
00:05:35
john hewitt
It's six guys with Batman properties and you're like, I don't know. like It's all the same shit.
00:05:41
Clutch Commander
Yeah, there was, one of the big mini wargaming companies was there.
00:05:49
john hewitt
Hmm. I mean, Warhammer usually shows up makes a presence. Okay.
00:05:54
Clutch Commander
They Gundam was there big. It's one of the many Wargaming vendors that I bought stuff from before.
00:06:01
john hewitt
okay
00:06:04
Clutch Commander
They were there.
00:06:04
john hewitt
Nice. Yeah.
00:06:07
Clutch Commander
There was...
00:06:09
Clutch Commander
If I would have scheduled it out better, i would have done more roleplaying. and like And maybe a few more random games than card games.
00:06:21
john hewitt
yeah Well, think we also fell victim that like the day I wanted us to book stuff, I thought we would book some stuff together. You guys had your hands tied with some other shit.
Delta Green and Gameplay Mechanics
00:06:32
john hewitt
So like I booked myself into a bunch of role playing stuff. But like you guys were actually like you actually looked more at the card game kind of shit.
00:06:43
Clutch Commander
No, I absolutely...
00:06:47
john hewitt
Well, excuse me, fucking Machete Phil looked a lot so more seriously at the card game shit.
00:06:52
Clutch Commander
No, I did too. Because I knew the Gundam card game was just coming out. I knew they had a miniature game that they have that's coming out.
00:07:04
Clutch Commander
That I was hoping they would have some news for.
00:07:07
john hewitt
Are we talking skirmish or are we talking like X-Wing style where it's you have your one ship and you're trying to outmaneuver the pack?
00:07:10
Clutch Commander
Skirmish.
00:07:18
Clutch Commander
i Like 5 on 5 Gundams.
00:07:20
john hewitt
I don't. I could get with that.
00:07:22
Clutch Commander
Ships are in it.
00:07:23
john hewitt
like I could get if it's five on five, i could get with that. I didn't I didn't want it to be like Warhammer level where I need a fucking yard two yardsticks taped together to move my fleet.
00:07:33
Clutch Commander
No, it's all hex board. Like Pathfinder.
00:07:37
john hewitt
Are we talking ah ah we like OST, like just beige normal Gundams or like the cheesy like call me weird?
00:07:49
john hewitt
I don't care. i really didn't give a fuck about wing. Like wing was cool, but I more so like just straight up and down Gundam with like the normal ass Gundams and like the fucking political intrigue kind of shit.
00:08:05
Clutch Commander
This seems more... Did you ever watch G Gundam? Where it was the tournament and they were all in the suits?
00:08:14
john hewitt
Oh, yes.
00:08:16
Clutch Commander
So... It appears... Because I've yet to find any rules. I was able to take some pictures. At Gen Con.
00:08:27
Clutch Commander
Of cards. But I haven't seen anybody like play it. But it seems very much that. They have the Gundam franchise.
00:08:37
Clutch Commander
And they're going to be producing. Gundam franchise models.
00:08:42
john hewitt
Oh, God.
00:08:43
Clutch Commander
So it is going to be.
00:08:44
john hewitt
I am Cornholio.
00:08:45
Clutch Commander
Every Gundam.
00:08:45
john hewitt
I need TV for my bunghole. a ah
00:08:52
Clutch Commander
It's every Gundam.
00:08:52
john hewitt
I mean, did they have the models there?
00:08:54
Clutch Commander
Yes.
00:08:56
john hewitt
did they look, at did they at least look sweet?
00:08:59
Clutch Commander
So they're about the size of like 40k space marines, maybe a little bit bigger.
00:09:05
john hewitt
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:06
Clutch Commander
But yeah, have you ever put the Gundam models together?
00:09:06
john hewitt
Well, they should be.
00:09:11
john hewitt
No, I don't have the fingers for it, but I used to know a guy that did. So. so
00:09:19
Clutch Commander
Have you put any Warhammer models together?
00:09:21
john hewitt
Again, I don't have the fingers for it, but I've seen you two do it.
00:09:24
Clutch Commander
Okay, so you can tell how it's like sometimes it's just flat piece on flat piece and you gotta kinda figure out how it aligns up.
00:09:33
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:09:34
Clutch Commander
No, this is like building what is essentially a model and everything goes together very easily, at least with the models I've been able to get my hands on and seen.
00:09:47
Clutch Commander
You do not need glue for this.
00:09:48
john hewitt
I mean, at that point, I don't even know if I'd want to play the game. I would just want to paint the fucking models. Do a little dry brushing.
00:09:54
john hewitt
Get some shit in the cracks.
00:09:54
Clutch Commander
Yes.
00:09:56
Clutch Commander
Yes.
00:09:57
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:09:58
Clutch Commander
Everything is, at least from what I've seen, very easy and well put together, unlike forty k
00:10:10
john hewitt
Nice.
00:10:15
john hewitt
Well, I'm sorry i didn't get to go to Gen Con with you guys.
TV Show Recommendations
00:10:18
john hewitt
check up Shit happened and it bit me square in fucking cheeks.
00:10:23
john hewitt
we'll do...
00:10:25
john hewitt
Because gameplay is kind of the topic. So maybe we don't have a gameplay segment. We can have, however, a nice little... Kick him in the face! Kick your brother in the face right now!
00:10:40
john hewitt
Have you been watching anything cool this week?
00:10:43
Clutch Commander
This or week... I finished... think it was Peacock.
00:10:51
Clutch Commander
Yeah. Peacock had a series, Destination X, where basically Jeffrey D.
00:10:56
john hewitt
Okay.
00:10:59
Clutch Commander
Morgan is the host, and he takes people to different spots in Europe and goes gives them clues to where they are. Sometimes they're false clues. And basically goes, where are we?
00:11:12
Clutch Commander
So it's like Geolocator.
00:11:15
john hewitt
That's cool.
00:11:15
Clutch Commander
But people actually playing it.
00:11:18
john hewitt
I mean, that dude's pretty solid. So, I mean...
00:11:23
john hewitt
i mean, i'd I'd watch him read a menu. The guy's a pretty fucking good actor.
00:11:27
Clutch Commander
yeah Other than that, I've continued to watch Get in the Trunk.
00:11:32
john hewitt
Yeah. Getting the Trunks great. New season. New season's going great. You're in the impossible landscapes. Are you still in season one?
00:11:39
Clutch Commander
Yes, I'm on, I just finished episode 12, and I'm starting 13, and they are starting to lose, yeah, that's what Arthur was saying, they are starting to lose sanity with the quickness.
00:11:45
john hewitt
yeah the Each season runs about, I think, about 20 episodes.
00:11:59
john hewitt
Yeah, Delta Green is funny, though, because there's mechanics in place to where when you lose it, you can deflect. So it's not like Call of Cthulhu where like if you lose x amount of sanity, like you're just off to the fucking loony bin.
00:12:16
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:12:17
john hewitt
if you lose
Roleplaying Strategy in Delta Green
00:12:20
john hewitt
if you lose like X amount of sanity, you'll get like a You'll get like a condition. All of a sudden, you have insomnia.
00:12:31
john hewitt
you're you You're nervous eating. like You'll get some some condition as a result. But you can also like Delta Green is this thing where it's bonds. So it would be like you're you're an accountant.
00:12:44
john hewitt
You're an agent with Delta Green who is an accountant in the real world. You've been tasked to do this job. Your bonds are your wife and two kids. So if you take sanity damage, you can be like, I want to deflect it. I think you can only deflect like up to three or four points.
00:13:01
john hewitt
But you deflect it, and you'll be like, I want to deflect it onto my my my kid, my youngest kid. So then it becomes a thing of being like, when you go home, you now have to act out this scenario of how your sanity loss is affecting your relationship with your child.
00:13:21
john hewitt
And it could be anything from like yelling at your wife, being like, look, I'm sorry, I worked all night. Or if you deflected on your kid, be like, no, i didn't come to your and baseball game. I'm putting food on the table.
00:13:32
Clutch Commander
Yeah, so they've been deflecting it, and around episode 12 to 13 is where they get a break to go home and now have to act it out.
00:13:43
john hewitt
Yeah. it's the The home scenes are are a big part of Delta Green because it's all like how it affects you the... Well, not really. the This is a long-term campaign, but most mostly they're they're short-term campaigns because it's it's like X-Files. it's It's a job. So you're getting tapped to go investigate this singular thing and then go home.
00:14:05
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:14:06
john hewitt
So that's why they give you home scenes. They give you, if you want to regain sanity, like... if you run a session investigating missing, like, like weapons, the movie weapons, I said something where I was like, weapons is literally, it's literally a Delta green op.
00:14:27
john hewitt
Kids are missing. Find the kids neutralize, like bury the threat.
00:14:31
Clutch Commander
yeah
00:14:32
john hewitt
It is, it is a thousand percent people lose sanity. It's a thousand percent of Delta green op. But I was like, at the end of that, at the end of that operation, if Josh Brolin was a was a Delta Green operative, he's not. No spoilers for weapons.
00:14:46
john hewitt
But at the end of that movie, like if Josh Brolin was a Delta Green operative, he would go home and like, say we decided to play another camp.
00:14:57
john hewitt
We decided to do another job. Now you're investigating cattle mutilation in Arizona and you want to play your Josh Brolin character. your Josh Brolin character would have the option of doing therapy or like getting self-help.
00:15:12
john hewitt
Like depending on how he helps himself, he can work his way back up insanity.
00:15:18
Clutch Commander
Mm-hmm.
00:15:20
john hewitt
So like they kind of have mechanics in play and it's same thing. Like you can get, if you burn a bond, you burn a bond with your wife all the way down. She's just gone. Like, like once that's done, she's gone.
00:15:31
john hewitt
Well, during that overlapping time, maybe you find somebody else and you form a new bond.
00:15:37
john hewitt
So like they Delta Green has very unique mechanics in place for sanity. yeah That's like the rules are very close to Call of Cthulhu, but Call of Cthulhu fucking merciless.
00:15:51
Clutch Commander
yes to be Yes.
00:15:52
john hewitt
like they're Like, you've been very generous with not, like, I think you should be laying on the sanity checks a little bit more thick with what they got going on now.
00:16:05
Clutch Commander
To be fair, though, in the book, there's not that many until right now.
00:16:11
john hewitt
Yeah. But at the same time, like, I think i think i think you've been doing a good job as a, as a handler and call it Cthulhu. But as far as like Delta, like the rules are so close. We definitely get shit mixed up from time to time. So I'm trying to like give you space to like, if you want, if you need to do something, Google it, read it from the AI, stop fucking listening to me because I'm a fucking boob and I get shit mixed up all the time.
00:16:41
Clutch Commander
and i
00:16:41
john hewitt
Machete Phil starts talking, mute that motherfucker's mic, Google whatever you need.
Game Mastering in Call of Cthulhu
00:16:47
Clutch Commander
No, and that's like chases are just going to be however i decide to do it at the time. I don't care how...
00:16:51
john hewitt
yeah
00:16:53
Clutch Commander
Call Cthulhu and D&D, they do chases weird and it doesn't make sense to me.
00:17:00
john hewitt
No.
00:17:02
Clutch Commander
It's however I decide to do it
00:17:02
john hewitt
Do it. Exactly. and Well, it's your game. You're, you're running the game. Like it ultimately it comes down to that. Like I tried to help a couple of times with rules that I knew, but it ended up blowing up in our face. So it becomes a thing of being like, I'm just going to give you room to fucking breathe. Like it's your game. I'm having a good time.
00:17:23
john hewitt
I know you're kind of dragging the other two through it, kicking and screaming, But at the same time, I'm like, no, I'm having a good time. I'm to let the motherfucker run. Like, I'm going to let you make decisions and I'm just going to, going to yes. And and we're going to see where this fucking goes.
00:17:40
Clutch Commander
Well, we're gonna see because deals have been made and we'll see what happens.
00:17:46
john hewitt
Last thing before we get into the topic.
00:17:49
john hewitt
We're currently doing the Orient Express. Uh, Campaign from Chaosium Publishing. Murder on the...
00:17:59
john hewitt
Is it just called Murder on the... Not Murder on the Orient Express.
00:18:02
Clutch Commander
Uh...
00:18:02
john hewitt
Terror on the Orient Express?
00:18:04
Clutch Commander
Horror?
00:18:05
john hewitt
Horror on the Orient... Either way, we're on this fucking train, right? We've killed no villains. My character, Jeff Bridges, named differently than the actor, but portrayed in our visual means by the actor, Jeff Bridges,
00:18:24
john hewitt
I've managed to single-handedly steal most of the parts of the statue, the scroll, not been caught. And I've been hanging tough most of this campaign.
00:18:36
john hewitt
But I haven't killed any of the villains. We've given them all the slip. Now the villains have all resurfaced. And they've started basically making deals with the devil.
00:18:48
john hewitt
One villain made a deal with the other two gentlemen in our party. The third villain, he came to me and made a deal with me.
00:18:59
john hewitt
Was that bullshit that you came up with or was that in the book that if they don't kill them, they could they would come and interject themselves in our stuff?
00:19:07
Clutch Commander
That was all me. They say that you can use them for stuff, but not... At least as of yet, they haven't said that they had to do anything.
00:19:17
john hewitt
Perfect.
00:19:18
Clutch Commander
Like this last last week's, I didn't have anything, and I'm still not prepared for this week's. So I'm going to have to redo some stuff, but that whole train thing was all me.
00:19:27
john hewitt
Yeah, you got get on that. Nice.
00:19:32
Clutch Commander
I was like, shit, I kind of want you to have a deal with somebody...
00:19:32
john hewitt
Well...
00:19:36
Clutch Commander
Because I can at least use you and you won't be a retard like the other two.
00:19:43
john hewitt
Well, they're gonna get real upset because I'm not mentioning anything to them about the booby traps I bought or the deal I made with the devil.
00:19:51
Clutch Commander
That's fine, you tell me what you want to do with it.
00:19:51
john hewitt
i'm I'm playing all of my stuff. I don't trust them at all at this point. Every time I leave the two of them, one of them gets hurt and the other one comes back with a fucking new limb.
00:20:03
Clutch Commander
Yeah, i don't I don't know why he wanted his finger back so bad.
00:20:07
john hewitt
I don't know. But the topic this week, I came up with something very
Solo Gameplay in Hunt: Showdown
00:20:11
john hewitt
special. So in return, I found a very special Santa clip to lead us in.
00:20:12
Clutch Commander
Thank you.
00:20:15
john hewitt
So into our topic this week...
00:20:32
john hewitt
God, I didn't know the thing of the rest of the song on there.
00:20:37
john hewitt
We're talking solo gameplay. We're talking naked runs of solo gameplay. It's we've both been doing a lot of. Straight off the cuff. Are you a fan of solo? Is it just something you did out of boredom or are you a fan of running a running a solo game in Hunt?
00:20:55
Clutch Commander
Initially, it was out of boredom. And just something to do. a i then just did a naked run. Not a naked run. I did a solo run. To clear up some space on characters.
00:21:10
john hewitt
were you were You were kidded all the way out.
00:21:10
Clutch Commander
and yeah now no no no it went naked runs is challenging but i go in with just knuckles a medkit and the spyglass and it can not be fun
00:21:12
john hewitt
You didn't you didn't go in. Okay.
00:21:27
john hewitt
No, that's... Well, I mean, that's a total naked run, though.
00:21:31
Clutch Commander
yes most of those i find more frustrating but i did it just
00:21:37
john hewitt
Why the Spyglass?
00:21:39
Clutch Commander
so I can find the towers because I don't have anything to let me zoom in
00:21:42
john hewitt
Yeah. Yeah. No, no. I mean, now that you say it, yeah.
00:21:48
Clutch Commander
So, but I did a solo run and ah ah had, I was the second person to the bounty.
00:21:59
john hewitt
Nice.
00:22:00
Clutch Commander
They had banished it so I knew where they were. So I come up from the south And they're right on the board the the board edge. But they're one compound from the corner.
00:22:13
Clutch Commander
So there's some north-south-east play I can do.
00:22:17
john hewitt
yeah Okay.
00:22:18
Clutch Commander
come around. And as I'm kind of sneaking up on them. One of them. For some reason is outside the ball slayer running around. I headshot him.
00:22:30
Clutch Commander
Right in front of the door.
00:22:32
john hewitt
Nice.
00:22:33
Clutch Commander
And I wait a second or two. I don't hear anybody moving. So I'm like, fuck it. I'll hellfire him. hope maybe i'll maybe I'll hit somebody at the door.
00:22:43
john hewitt
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:44
Clutch Commander
Well, I hit him. I get shot at. He misses. So I kind of move around more north on the compound. And I'm waiting for him to pick up his partner.
00:22:57
Clutch Commander
And this third party starts pinging at me for some reason. So I'm like, fuck it. I circle around more and I get to the the north end of the camp the compound and i'm just sitting here waiting and i hear a bunch of shooting where i was so i sneak back i don't see anybody but they keep shooting at me and missing so i go back north i go further around north to see if maybe i'll get them on the other side and i hear a bunch of more explosions a little more where i was a little more kind of where i just was so i go back
00:23:31
john hewitt
Oh, yeah.
00:23:34
Clutch Commander
And I don't hear anything, I don't see anything.
00:23:39
Clutch Commander
But I see two people kind of running against the the edge of the map. Kind of trying to like sneak out.
00:23:48
Clutch Commander
At Darkseid it's the bounty. They're trying to sneak in between everybody and get out.
00:23:53
john hewitt
Fucking losers.
00:23:55
john hewitt
Chase them down.
00:23:55
Clutch Commander
Unfortunately for the- saw them, so yes. So I chase them down and there's a few open paths that I see before they get to the extract that I'm just like pinging at them.
00:24:00
john hewitt
Keep the change, you filthy animal.
00:24:08
Clutch Commander
And this other team, come to find out it's two teams were chasing them. They were like back to back. And then there's the bounty team up front and then me coming on their far right.
00:24:19
Clutch Commander
I was the only one who went far right for some reason. Everyone just followed them as they ran. Well, I pinged the bounty team a few times. and some people keep shooting at me.
00:24:31
Clutch Commander
I can't see them there. Aim sucks, because I'm not dead, and I'm standing pretty still trying to kill the bounty team.
00:24:37
john hewitt
Yeah, yeah.
00:24:39
john hewitt
You eventually got taken out, though.
00:24:41
Clutch Commander
Uh, no. I end up killing the bounty team because they do a suicide charge on me. There's a rock, and they come from both sides. I'm able to kill one as the other one comes around with a saver charge.
00:24:55
Clutch Commander
And me to put him down with one bullet. So I'm like, cool. i grab the bounty and I scan. There's still two people left.
00:25:06
Clutch Commander
Shortly thereafter, there's only one person left. Thankfully, they weren't on the same team.
00:25:11
Clutch Commander
But me and this guy go back and forth for a minute. And eventually, I'm able to ping him with my Labelle. And I charge him with the Schofield. and I'm able to kill him as he misses all his fanning shots.
00:25:25
john hewitt
Yeah, and you're all kidded. See, i i throw caution to the wind. And I've been doing a lot of naked runs where it'll just be knuckles, medkit, and that's it.
00:25:42
john hewitt
Or I've done, which is a little bit more taxing on me emotionally, is I'll do two bows, only regular arrows, only medkit.
00:25:55
john hewitt
And it turns into a fucking, it turns into a weird thing because you do that loadout, regular arrows, you got 32 arrows.
00:26:04
Clutch Commander
Yeah, you have a bunch of shots.
00:26:07
john hewitt
Yeah, we have more than enough shots to miss. You only need to have one bow up like you can keep the other one stowed. You could swap if you want to feel special. But yeah, yeah, you have 32 arrows.
00:26:19
john hewitt
I made the rule. i at least need to keep a bow. i can loot and take a gun if I need one, but I have to keep a bow on me. that quickly went away where I was just like, nah, we're bow boys.
00:26:32
john hewitt
This loadout straight bow. Uh, I've done other, I've done other solo child. I've done other solo challenges where it's, I believe Neo did it where fucking it's an ax challenge where you go in with an ax and you can take guns off of people you've downed, but the ax must stay on you.
00:26:51
john hewitt
That's where I, that's where I, yeah, that's where I pulled the, the rule for with the, with the bow.
00:26:51
Clutch Commander
Yeah, i saw his video on that.
00:26:57
john hewitt
But like, like, I'm not going to sit there and say that I'm the best like team player. Like I call out picks. I try and set you guys up for stuff. I clean up people when they're fucking coming around.
00:27:10
john hewitt
I keep my distance. I do a lot of shooting from cover, but fucking solo shit, man.
00:27:14
Clutch Commander
Mm-hmm.
00:27:17
john hewitt
It's a different animal. You've got to be on your game. Like you were saying, you were circling the compound. You got to keep moving.
00:27:24
Clutch Commander
Yes.
00:27:25
john hewitt
ah ah it's like when I'm training people at work, I'm like, you gotta to be a shark. When a shark stops moving, a shark dies. that's degenerate That's what happens in nature. A shark is always in motion. A shark never stops moving.
00:27:38
john hewitt
When a shark stops moving, it chokes and dies. That's you as a solo fucking player. That's you as a mailman. World World carriers out there know what i'm talking about. You stop moving, you die.
00:27:50
john hewitt
So like, yeah, if you're shooting, you got to be ready. Like either you're following it up immediately or you're fucking on your way to the next piece of cover.
00:27:58
Clutch Commander
yeah
00:28:01
john hewitt
Do you have a setup that you prefer over another? Like, do you have a loadout you'd like to take when you're playing solo as as opposed to a team match?
00:28:12
Clutch Commander
so with
00:28:16
Clutch Commander
Not really. Normally with the the solo...
00:28:17
john hewitt
Yeah, I mean, you don't have to.
00:28:19
Clutch Commander
that was the That was the first one I did where I took a gun where i took guns.
00:28:20
john hewitt
I just.
00:28:23
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:28:25
Clutch Commander
And it just worked out very well for me.
00:28:27
john hewitt
Okay.
00:28:29
Clutch Commander
I would say after our last few games... I'm going to start taking scopes. Because the last few games...
00:28:39
john hewitt
Yeah. Yeah.
00:28:40
Clutch Commander
That last guy at Fort... Fort or Prison... oh
00:28:46
john hewitt
we were We were at the fort and he was at the...
00:28:47
Clutch Commander
Yeah, he would've had us if he would've left...
00:28:50
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:28:51
Clutch Commander
If he would've left the tower... He might've been able to kill us.
00:28:56
john hewitt
he If he would have played a little bit more... I mean, not even like aggressive. Like... I was, well, no, but I mean, I was ripping him up, but he had a scope on him.
00:29:01
Clutch Commander
Passive move.
00:29:07
john hewitt
He had a Centennial Shorty with the with the big scope. And then he's in the big, like the big fire tower.
00:29:12
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:29:16
john hewitt
There's a Winnie with a scope sitting on the table behind him.
00:29:20
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:29:20
john hewitt
So like, he's literally, we could go anywhere we want. And he's just like, i'm fucking looking right at you.
00:29:29
Clutch Commander
But that was his... If he would have left that tower and took position maybe in the fort behind him, in the compound behind him, he would have been able to...
00:29:38
john hewitt
yeah Or baited us.
00:29:40
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:29:40
john hewitt
If he would have fallen back and waited for us to investigate the tower and then ripped us up from the ground while we're in while we're walking around the tower looking for him, it's a different story.
00:29:52
Clutch Commander
Yeah, his problem was he was not... I don't want to say passive enough, but he did not move enough.
00:29:58
john hewitt
he relied he relied on He relied on that gun.
00:30:02
Clutch Commander
Yes.
00:30:04
john hewitt
He didn't follow shark protocol.
00:30:07
Clutch Commander
Yeah, he stopped moving.
00:30:09
john hewitt
Yeah, stop moving. You die.
00:30:12
Clutch Commander
Yep.
00:30:14
john hewitt
Are you planning on doing more in the future or was it just kind of like a passing fancy?
00:30:19
Clutch Commander
I'm probably going to do more... So I can get better with scopes because I have a feeling it'll be easier to train myself on solo games with a scope than it is in trios.
00:30:37
john hewitt
Kind of kind it does. For one, it is. It it feels like a solo gamers like gear. I don't want you having a scope if I'm like going into the ironworks and you're like, I got a scope on my hang bag here.
00:30:53
john hewitt
Like that's fucked. I'm being there with a specter. You're going to be like, do me a favor, lead them over there to the gate so I could shoot at them for you.
00:31:00
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:31:01
john hewitt
like Like a scope feels like i'm I'm laying back a little bit. I'm sco i to scoping it out.
00:31:09
Clutch Commander
Yeah. yeah
00:31:10
john hewitt
But at the same time, like like it it feels like that's not like a team thing. Sound off in the and the comments. If you're team player and you love taking scopes and you still manage to stay aggressive, hit me up on the on the DMs on Instagram.
00:31:26
john hewitt
I'll read your comment next time.
00:31:28
Clutch Commander
So it can be, if you if you do it, you almost have to take Winnie with a scope and leverage it.
00:31:34
john hewitt
Or a dead eye. I find a dead eye is a good medium medium ground for us for a scope with like an aggressive style push.
00:31:37
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:31:44
john hewitt
But like those fucking marksman scopes that are the length of the barrel, I'm like, buddy, like if I get anywhere near you, you're toast.
00:31:49
Clutch Commander
Arc.
00:31:56
john hewitt
Because you're going to pick that up to look at me and you're gonna be able to see my pores.
00:32:02
Clutch Commander
Yeah, you gotta to get credit hip-firing with it.
00:32:04
john hewitt
yeah Or the old Call of Duty quick tap.
00:32:09
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:32:10
john hewitt
Like you pull that thing up to your shoulder real quick and pull the trigger.
00:32:15
Clutch Commander
Yeah. But I'm i' happy with the solo games.
00:32:19
Clutch Commander
it
00:32:20
john hewitt
it so different It's different. I
00:32:23
john hewitt
i will say this and then I'll ask you one final question. Solo gaming is different than a team game play. Like naked naked naked runs are their own beast. I went into it last episode.
00:32:38
john hewitt
You're stressed. You have no weapon. Your back's against the fucking wall. But if you go in solo, it's also a separate thing because like you want to take traps?
00:32:50
john hewitt
That's solo's fucking that's a solo's like playground.
00:32:55
Clutch Commander
Yes. Yeah.
00:32:56
john hewitt
I don't have to tell you two shit birds. Yeah. Don't go down that set of steps. I have a death traps every three feet. And you're like, what steps? Well, jump, jump, but like rip, like fucking setting them off.
00:33:08
john hewitt
Like, no, you could be a solo. Just set traps wherever the fuck you want.
00:33:12
Clutch Commander
yeah
00:33:13
john hewitt
It's gonna be fucking hilarious. Somebody's going to trip them. If you want to take a scope, solo game is great for a scope because you're going to want to keep your distance anyway. Or you take fucking, at the moment, we still have another, what, year and a half of this fucking event?
00:33:29
john hewitt
Take Gunrunner. Take something with a scope. Take something without a scope.
00:33:34
Clutch Commander
yeah
00:33:35
john hewitt
Shop around.
Solo Survivor Mode Challenges
00:33:37
Clutch Commander
no it's definitely i plan on doing more just solo games and less naked runs
00:33:47
john hewitt
And now here is the question I was going to ask you.
00:33:52
john hewitt
Solo bounty hunt or are you going to be dipping your toe back in the classic soul survivor?
00:34:01
Clutch Commander
oh
00:34:02
john hewitt
Because i feel like I'm on an island because I've gone into Soul Survivor lately and it takes a minute to get fucking loaded in. But Bounty Clash is fun.
00:34:13
john hewitt
But OG Soul Survivor, that was the shit where you start off as a naked run, but everybody starts off as a naked run. And you you fucking you find a wealth, you find a little a clue, it gives you a trait, you find weapons, and then it burns down. First, gotta get three clues. He becomes the fucking bounty carrier. He gets locked into a compound. He can't leave.
00:34:39
john hewitt
But you're just fending everybody off until the timer runs out.
00:34:44
Clutch Commander
I didn't think about that.
00:34:46
john hewitt
It's fucking...
00:34:46
Clutch Commander
That sounds fun.
00:34:46
john hewitt
if you Have you never done it?
00:34:49
Clutch Commander
I've done a few, but it's been long time.
00:34:52
john hewitt
Oh, God. ah There was a time when every Sunday i would get up, hung over as shit before my wife would wake up. I'd make the biggest cup of I'd basically make a five gallon bucket of coffee, the biggest cup of coffee I could make.
00:35:10
john hewitt
And I would just play solo runs on the European server.
00:35:14
Clutch Commander
Hmm. Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:15
john hewitt
i would I would just play the fucking the Survivor on the European server because they're up that time of fucking night.
00:35:19
Clutch Commander
yeah
00:35:23
john hewitt
And it's fucking great. You die so many times, but it's so fucking... And then like you can pick your fucking... What do you want to start with? You're to with one weapon. You pick whether you want to start with a close range or a medium range or a melee. Yeah.
00:35:39
Clutch Commander
yeah
00:35:40
john hewitt
it's a random It's random in that category, but that's what you're getting. And I would always just pick random between the three, because you can also pick random, and then who the fuck knows what you're going to end up with.
00:35:52
john hewitt
But it was like this thing where I was just like, no, this is fucking, this is good. This is fast-paced. This is good. I can knock out like fucking six of these things, and then what, like 45 minutes? This good.
00:36:05
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:36:07
john hewitt
here
00:36:07
Clutch Commander
That sounds fun.
00:36:07
john hewitt
Harrison's dying. He caught a ah slight STD at Gen Con.
00:36:13
