Introduction and Podcast Interruptions
00:00:13
Speaker
Yee-haw, cowboys and cowgirls, we are back. It has been a minute. This is Waiting for Other Players, a hunt showdown podcast. This is John Cack coming at you here from the Cat House. It's been a minute. Yeah, we're just gonna go straight into, is this the right thing for you? Yeah, buddy, it is.
00:00:37

Chaotic Family Anecdotes
00:00:57
Speaker
Harrison. Harrison, how are you doing this evening? I'm doing good. How about you?
00:01:02
Speaker
Uh, I'm good. It's been, uh, it's been a while. We said we'd be back shortly after our last show and it's been a long, I think it's been like, woo. It's been like four or five weeks. It's been a minute. That's shortly. Look how many weeks in a month, 52. It's a year.
00:01:28
Speaker
This, yeah, shortly. Yeah. Well, you know, yeah, we don't, we don't use your, your American standard time. We use old Bible time. That's why everybody in the Bible lived to be like 900. Yeah. That's exactly why.
00:01:48
Speaker
That and they had the good meds. Well, I'll tell you this. The reason we haven't been back, it's not Clutch's fault. It's my fault. My father is a bit of a retard and managed to let himself get so sick. We had to throw him in the hospital. Fuck a guy kept smoking the nurses. He punched too. They tied him down. He kept just taking the cops off.
00:02:14
Speaker
Uh, eventually they figure out what's wrong with him and they kind of got him on the mend now he's in like a physical rehabilitation set so it's just been like weeks of me fucking being the middle man for him, but Just circle back to the bullshit Because he kept punching the nurses They made him have like a consistent babysitter Every time I went there It was me him and a random person just sitting in the corner watching him in case he got out of hand and they had to just Open up a can of whoop ass on him
00:02:45
Speaker
So this one chick, for the most part, they kept it themselves. They were fucking around on their phones. I was reading a book or fucking around on my phone. It was very above board, but this one woman wouldn't shut up. She talked the whole time, and I was polite. I talked to her, and then she starts talking to me. She's a Jehovah's Witness, so she starts talking to me about Jehovah's Witness shit.
00:03:12
Speaker
And the whole time I'm just being like, yeah, yeah, I don't know what to tell you. I don't go to church. I don't know what to tell you. And she was like, that's why them people all lived at 900 back then.
00:03:23
Speaker
I said, do you really think they lived to 900 back then? She's like, yeah, it's in the Bible. I said, you don't think that maybe their idea of a year was slightly more skewed than ours, that maybe they went by seasons or something? I was like, you know, in like the sixties, the ideal age was like, like 52. I was like, and that's in the sixties, like this is like,
00:03:50
Speaker
Babylonians, they're not living at 900. And this woman who's in the medical field looks me dead in the face, she goes, 900. That's how good the medicine was back then. 900 they lived to. Yeah, man, they had the good shit. Allegedly, according to her and the Jehovah's Witness people. They're not the only one who believe everything in the Bible.
00:04:19
Speaker
is literally what happened as it is written yeah not that somebody interpreted anything but as it is written so let it be written so let it be the way i guess it's just scary when you meet somebody like that and they actually confirm everything you always make a joke about and you're like oh these people are real yeah and they're in charge of shit
00:04:44
Speaker
Yeah. And you're, you could just not give my father the medicine he's required to get. Cause God like told you to, I was like, Oh shit. I was like, thank God. They've switched these people out every six hours. I don't ever have to see this broad again. Yeah. Uh, let's go tap this bad boy.
God of War: Ragnarok Gameplay Discussion
00:05:03
Speaker
Just my game. Uh, what are you being getting into? Uh, I have been playing God of war Ragnarok.
00:05:13
Speaker
I finally got around to beating the first one, and I'm every now and then playing the sequel. What do you think of Ragnarok versus the original? But not the original, but the previous game. What do you think between the two? Which one did you like better? I am still very early in Ragnarok. I'm about 16% in, according to my save data.
00:05:41
Speaker
They added a lot of stuff that at least in the beginning is annoying as shit Like weapon the weapon the chaos blades to break the ice shield yeah, yeah, and there's there's certain environmental puzzles that are like asinine and
00:06:03
Speaker
where it's like, why would this one vine be growing in this ice fucking flow that requires me to hit it with the damn chaos blades? Yeah, there hasn't been too much of that. I.
00:06:17
Speaker
did run into a couple of the puzzles at the end of the first game that just I'm sitting there staring at it going I don't fucking know and had you do you mean like the one where Kratos is drowning and you have to have Atreus solve the puzzle
00:06:35
Speaker
And Kratos is just like, I need you to move faster, boy. It's like that thing in Temple of Doom where Indy's like looking at Winnie through the hole and he's like, we are going to die. Like that's Kratos getting sucked into the floor. Yes. That season puzzle took me a minute. And then there's one when you were in hell where you had to move the wind into this
00:07:00
Speaker
door and then you had to freeze the door open and then move the wind to the other side and I'm sitting here going I don't where's the other wind yeah because that's what I've been trained to look for yeah I wasn't finding it um yeah I'll wait for you to I'll wait for you to finish before before I tell you my thoughts because I really like them both but I have opinions one way or the other so I'll let you form your own opinions before I start dumping mine on you
00:07:29
Speaker
Okay. Um, I really like the first one was very good. The second one, there's just some things they're doing very early on. I'm like, this is just stupid. Why am I doing this? Yeah. Uh, I mean, it'll get it's a hook. It'll get its hooks into you. We'll uh, you'll, you'll figure it out. I'm sure it will, but it's just,
00:07:51
Speaker
it's just the fact that right the first thing you have to do is roll your head your hell blades around like you just don't care and i'm like this is the dumbest thing i have because they're coming for me you don't even get those right away because the whole time you're fighting thor he's begging you to pull the hell blades out and you don't have them
00:08:12
Speaker
Yeah, no, they're hanging up at home like that. Yeah, cool and fine is OK. And I didn't have an issue with that. I didn't have an issue with the bear fight. But as soon as you get the chaos blades and you're fighting the fucking barbarians, they're leaping at you and you're sitting here going playing fucking hopscotch with the chaos blades. And I'm like, this is stupid as shit.
00:08:32
Speaker
Yeah, it's kind of like a Mortal Kombat where you have to start learning your combos early. Because there are combos you can learn where it's like square, square, square X. It's just like different combos of whipping the blades between light and heavy, like light and heavy attacks. No, that's fine. But I'm talking about like the ice, how you charge it with ice. You have to charge the chaos blades with fire by whirling it around like a jackass. Well, that, but you know, you could just hold it, right? You don't have to tap it.
00:09:02
Speaker
Yes, but you're still whirling it around like a jackass while it charges before you can kill these guys. Well, you don't have to. I mean, there's. They'll catch on fire the more you attack them. That's cool. However, they have the ice shield.
00:09:21
Speaker
I have to break and the easiest way to break it is by playing hopscotch and I don't like But yeah, I think I think you'd be better off Doing a little DPS and just whooping their ass with it and like it'll whittle it down a little bit better than you trying to just blow through with the heavy status attacks Well, it's already lost me two days because a dumb shit like that, but I'm back on it.
Thrilling Gameplay Stories
00:09:49
Speaker
I'm
00:09:51
Speaker
currently in the dwarf village yeah playing uh fix the water mill yeah with the fucking with fighting the battle toads yeah yeah uh i think we dwelled on god of war ragnarok for about 10 minutes now so we'll go straight into uh i have no idea
00:10:15
Speaker
Uh, we have been playing a bunch of games since we've been gone. Uh, is there anything you want to get into with a game player? Uh, this one, the only one I really have is from the other day when we were taking the church with the Coliseum and we took the church and
00:10:41
Speaker
We kept trading and picking each other up and then I get to be the last man standing with a shotgun and I pull a loop-de-loop on the staircase on the last ball and one of the partners Yeah, two in the back and then his partner comes around the corner weapon looking to shotgun me But just like Han I shot first
00:11:04
Speaker
Yeah, you got very lucky. The clip, the clip is on Instagram. Uh, go check that out. Waiting for the player's pod. All one word wish together. Uh, the clip is on Instagram and full stop. Do you get lucky every kill? Not every kill. I have ducked and dived in one in this, in this encounter.
00:11:28
Speaker
that you're playing. And this encounter, yes. But there have been plenty where I've headshot him from a compound over. No, no. Skill is skill, but this encounter alone, you've already been set on fire. One of them is sprayed you down with fire. So you're outside putting the fire out and then you pull out your true shot and you fanning the first one only in the legs. And it's like meek. It's like,
00:11:54
Speaker
from the kneecaps down are the only parts of this guy you hit. So you cripple the first guy, he's dead. You go running in knowing there's two more people, not looking anywhere. You run straight for the staircase that goes underneath. And then when you pull the loop, the loop, I don't know what the guy was thinking, but you definitely just squeeze off one tube of the Caldwell.
00:12:19
Speaker
Down him and we're kind of like I can't believe it and then his buddy pokes his head down the steps Checking because I guess he was under the impression his partner shot you To which you shoot him with the other tube in the face But it's the most it's the most mr. Magoo. Mr. Bean horseshit i've ever seen Where it's just luck upon you're just making luck rolls left left and right. It's the damnedest thing i've ever seen it's on instagram
00:12:50
Speaker
Go check it out for yourself. Leave it in the comments. Luck or no luck.
00:12:57
Speaker
I've been getting shot at and I'm duckin run and stopping duckin and I'm coming back I'm the clutch. I clutch it when we really really Yeah, I'm not debating it skills skills as skills, but there's definitely There's definitely something to be said about there's like skills and then there's just like blind dumb luck and when it's skills I
00:13:22
Speaker
it.
00:13:41
Speaker
The three of them were dialed in pretty tight because there's bodies everywhere, but we snuck in there and they had already killed like two other teams. And we had a solo that was giving us the business over at, not Port Reeker, Port Reeker? Port Reeker. Yeah.
00:14:04
Speaker
I think it was Port Reeker, and he's giving us the business, and he just keeps dip-diving and ducking. He shoots me. I can't remember what the hell he had. He might have had the Mako carbine, but he shoots me. He fans out our third, and I mean he drains the chain pistol. He's shooting at him. This is also up on Instagram, by the way, these two clips. He drains that chain pistol.
00:14:33
Speaker
And then as he's taken off running, I give him the biggest lead of all time. Shoot him with an uppercut.
00:14:43
Speaker
I thought he got away. And the whole time you're sitting there screaming, you're like, no, I think he got him. I was like, there's no way. The drop off alone from the uppercut would have made it so, like, I'm like, I'm trying to do the quick math in my head, because I thought it was a body shot. No, sure as shit, there's just a pile of bones in the middle of the field, because that's where the cane fell down flat on his face, and all I see is his backpack. Hey, man, I told you, I heard the death rattle after your shot, and it was Lock Bay docks. Lock Bay, yeah. Pinching Crematorium.
00:15:15
Speaker
are we sure no i think we're coming from the crematorium to latte to the church we chased him we could hear him that's why we wound up where we were we were following mccain
00:15:26
Speaker
And then eventually, yeah, the entire time. And I think he killed each one of us at least once at least once because we thought he was we thought we had birds in front of us. Apparently, from what I can remember, we'll get into segment three here in about two seconds. We heard birds. That was one of the teams that made it to the church before us and ended up fighting and losing. This solo followed us and then just started taking shots at us from behind.
00:15:56
Speaker
to the point that we all kind of took shelter. And the minute he started like just jumping back and forth, like a little jackrabbit, we all just kept trying to 1v1 him. And yeah, he kept putting us down. We'd pick each other up, pick each other up. And then the minute he got out of the bushes, watch the clip again, hashtag luck or no luck, be a full stop just right, right in the back. He had to be pissed. He thought he was making some hot moves.
00:16:26
Speaker
um yeah god good gameplay let's get into this thing all right now uh harrison for our great return um we've missed a lot
00:16:47
Speaker
We have both ended an event and started a new event.
New Game Event: Rifle Discussions
00:16:51
Speaker
We've missed all of the fun jokes we could have had about you being a member of the tunnel gang here in Maryland. There's tons of stuff we missed out on, but one thing we haven't missed out on is our reactions to the new rifles from the latest event.
00:17:14
Speaker
You've really been digging the Mako carbine and I've really been digging the Caldwell Marathon. What are your thoughts on the Mako carbine? It's a really fun gun with a great iron sight. My favorite part of it is the iron sight. It's very easy to read and very easy to use.
00:17:42
Speaker
I love the iron sight on the Mako, but also the sound design for the Mako. It's such a satisfying pop. The fact that all the guns sound unique is one thing, but the uniqueness, the characteristics they give the Mako, it just sounds nasty. You shoot it and you're just giggling. You're like, oh, that sounds so bad.
00:18:13
Speaker
Do you have you have you thought about loadouts you'd run you'd want to run with the maker? Um Not really it's just been I've been waiting to see what I what I've Since I just Pushed my luck and reset I'm leveling up again, and I'm just trying to see what Works right now. Oh, yeah, and
00:18:43
Speaker
The Mako is definitely really helping me get through some of it. But it's just, you know, it's a long ammo gun. You got to just see what you what you got, what you can work with.
00:18:58
Speaker
I mean, it's long ammo, but also I think between long ammo, uh, levering, if you want to take it, I think if you take the Mako with, with levering specifically to be like, it's got love ring. I think you're in for a rough time because it's, you know, your ammo pool is so shallow with long ammo. Like can you lever? Yes. I'd rather use the Mako to pick my spots, like make each one of those eight bullets count. Yeah.
00:19:26
Speaker
But at the same time, if I get levered out with a Mako, I'll have to take a five-minute break because I will probably shit my pants if somebody comes around the corner levering at me with a long ammo. Yes, it's startling if it happens to you. Oh, yeah. On the other hand, the marathon, that thing's just a world-beater. I've been... I think I've unlocked the Swift.
00:19:55
Speaker
I think I've unlocked a swift, but either way, the ammo that you get in a regular marathon, the fire rate of the regular marathon, the damage you can pull out of the regular marathon, I'm not gonna say I'll never take a wind field again, but if you give me the choice between a wind field and a marathon, I might start picking the fucking marathon. Okay, so you're liking it more than the marathon? More than the Mako. I think I've just played it more than the Mako at this point. I'm not gonna say I like it more.
00:20:25
Speaker
I mean more than the winny. Sorry more than the winny. I don't know because the problem with the winny is The mako does have weird iron sights The mako does have a weird thing where they're um It's uh It's not that the damage isn't there it's that uh, it's like taking a winny c like You're gonna either be doing head shots or you're gonna be you're gonna be picking at them
00:20:54
Speaker
But I don't know. It's just something about it. Maybe it's because I feel like Kevin McAllister. Like when he has his BB gun. Maybe it's the fact that the idle animation when you put it on your character and you're setting up your inventory is to do the Sarah Connor Hancock. Gotcha. It's just it's just so many things falling in the right place to where I'm like.
00:21:17
Speaker
I kind of end the marathon. I really like it for one because it's compact ammo, so it's a decent pool. It is a solid shooter.
00:21:32
Speaker
It's the same reason I really like the Lebak carbine. It does enough damage and it shoots just fast enough that I can two tap you and move on to the next guy. But also if I one tap you, I'm setting them up nicely for you or the third. Like it's not, it's not an outright, like, uh, like if we're both running, uh, Martini Henry and we like, I miss my shot.
00:21:59
Speaker
I've kind of like, if we're working together, I've fucked both of us at that point. Cause either you have to do a headshot or you're looking, you're praying to Christ, they're down a bar. Like if you're trying to use teamwork, I think, I think the car, I think the marathon is a really solid thing for a setup to help you take down an opponent.
00:22:22
Speaker
Cause it's enough, it's enough damage. It shoots fast enough. Um, and the point I was trying to get to before I started stuttering was, uh, it's got enough utility that I can take the marathon and still like run the Katana, run a machete, run a bat. I can run a melee and not feel like I'm, I'm losing out on a slot. Okay.
00:22:47
Speaker
Uh, you could do that with the Mako, but I feel like the ammo pool in the Mako would just kind of, I mean, you'd be like in a long ammo, a long ammo situation where it's like, I'll, I'll run this. I'll run this bat and the Mako, but realistically I'm batting everything else in the fucking world to death. And I'm just saving my ammo for.
00:23:12
Speaker
you know, other hunters. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I don't know. I know I babbled a bunch there, but I really think I think the marathon is a solid rock solid addition to the to the to the arsenal that we get in the game. Okay. Yeah, no, I'm liking them. Yeah, it's just a matter of finding stuff that works with them. Yeah, I feel like moving forward.
00:23:42
Speaker
it's going to be really fun putting the loadouts together with these two guns specifically. Putting loadouts together with the drilling was fun just because the drilling gives you the option of you also have a shotgun attached to
00:24:00
Speaker
two medium rounds and you could be like oh well maybe I'll pair it with a small Romero and then I'll have a surplus of shotgun shells for my you know for my drilling or like there's any number of things you could do but I don't know it's just something about the the price is right for both of these
00:24:23
Speaker
Yeah, they're not outrageous. They're fucking solid, solid shooters. I've had a lot of luck with the marathon. I had a lot of luck with the the Mako. We are playing up that one hunter that made it through two or three games taking the Mako like I I'm I'm shocked at how well these two new guns are chilling. Yeah, no, I'm I'm liking them. It's just a matter of finding something that's not the typical sparks pistol with the Mako.
00:24:52
Speaker
Yeah, or uppercut or, you know, if you, if you get quarter master, maybe the upper mat or. Yeah.
Final Thoughts and Farewell
00:25:01
Speaker
Yeah. And that's, if you feel like spreading your pool around, you could always not go heavy ammo or long ammo.
00:25:09
Speaker
Yeah, no, I normally I try because the way the ammo pools work now not to double up on ammo and to yeah for once But it's just finding the gun that works good for it. That's you know, well something special Absolutely secret sauce. Yeah. Yeah. Do I have more long ammo? You'll never know. Yeah um
00:25:37
Speaker
right on our way out the door. Do you have anything you want to leave the people with? No, not not not this week. Not this week. Not this week. Maybe next week. Damn. Well, if that's the case, I will say goodbye. Let me pull out my list of legendary hunters. Oh my god, have I lost the list of legendary hunters?
00:26:05
Speaker
I may have lost the list of legendary hunters. That means I'll have no idea about Nitro Innate, the Ponytail Palm, Rat329, Mitchell Gertz. Oh my god, what will I do? Yeah, I don't know. It's on my desk somewhere. I think I got most of you guys in there. I love all of you. You know it. Yeah. Our way out. Burn the solos, as Harrison always says. Harrison, say it one time for the people. Burn the solos.
00:26:33
Speaker
May their fire keep you warm. You live in a three-star life, but god damn it. I hope you have a six-star week. It's good to be back. Good night, everybody. Good night. I'm the best, the best looking. Nobody stands a chance against me, and people fucking love me. That's the VIP bottom line. Fucking awesome. Well, bye.
