00:01:55
Cameron Resner
For an hour, just looking at different cards.

It's Frankenween.
00:02:10
Callum Jackson
Not in a weird way, but he did. He was like, hmm, that back will do.
00:02:15
Cameron Resner
Yeah? Or maybe you gave him a small dick because you didn't want him too powerful.
00:02:15
Callum Jackson
And he was talking about his arse cheeks. Oh, yeah, because he would have been swinging that instead.
00:02:21

00:03:12
Callum Jackson

00:03:19
Callum Jackson

00:03:26
Cameron Resner
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:27
Callum Jackson
do you know what? do you know I will actually say? How about this? We actually make an effort to go IMAX.
00:03:33
Cameron Resner
Oh, no, i i yeah I would only watch it in IMAX, I think.
00:03:34
Callum Jackson
Because... Yeah, because we watched... that You didn't see Avatar 2 until... You came round with George that one time. And we all watched it together.
00:03:42
Cameron Resner
No.
00:03:43
Callum Jackson
But I definitely think...
00:03:43
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:03:46
Callum Jackson
100% IMAX adds something to these films.
00:03:49
Cameron Resner
Yeah, i would agree.
00:03:50
Callum Jackson
So... And we'll get back to that... When we've seen the new one. we could Maybe we could do a little review of that... At the end of the year.
00:03:58
Cameron Resner
predictions. Where will it sit between one and two?
00:04:00
Callum Jackson
Predictions is it will be on my top 10 movies...
00:04:03
Cameron Resner
But where? but Better than one? Better than two?
00:04:06
Callum Jackson
Okay, i'm not gonna give I'm not going to give my one away
00:04:07
Cameron Resner
Better than the Phantom Menace? Where?
00:04:12
Cameron Resner
Oh.
00:04:13
Callum Jackson
of this year. But I think you already know what it is. But I feel like I don't know if it can beat that.
00:04:19
Cameron Resner
Right.
00:04:25
Cameron Resner
So that beats the first one.
00:04:25
Callum Jackson
We'll see. What do you mean? What beats the first one?
00:04:29
Cameron Resner
Avatar 2 beats the first one.
00:04:31
Callum Jackson
Oh, no, no, no. I'm talking about top 10 of this year.
00:04:33
Cameron Resner
Oh, no, yeah, i sorry.
00:04:34
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:04:35
Cameron Resner
I know, i was saying is Avatar 3, where do you think Avatar 3 is in terms of the ranking?
00:04:38
Callum Jackson
Ooh, right, of of the Avatar films.
00:04:40
Cameron Resner
Yes.
00:04:40
Callum Jackson
Right,
Speculations on Avatar Series Future
00:04:41
Callum Jackson
okay, I think Avatar 3, it looks so fucking good. It just... Do you know i have a hard time with...
00:04:48
Cameron Resner
And does Jake Sully die?
00:04:50
Callum Jackson
Oh, yeah, don't. I've already been...
00:04:53
Cameron Resner
and Sam Worthington's probably 90 years old or something.
00:04:53
Callum Jackson
already...
00:04:55
Cameron Resner
I think he aged 50 years between one and two.
00:05:00
Callum Jackson
Yeah, I mean, i can see one of them dying, and I think it will be him, but there's a whole fucking...
00:05:07
Cameron Resner
and then we'll get a slider.
00:05:07
Callum Jackson
There's scenes in the trailer that I'm like, why you fucking showing me this trailer?
00:05:08
Cameron Resner
Hmm.
00:05:12
Callum Jackson
Like, showing me this... there's ah There's a big fucking dinosaur dragon thing in it, the Banshees.
00:05:18
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:05:19
Callum Jackson
And he rides Turok Maktot, you know? He rides that.
00:05:23
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:05:24
Callum Jackson
And in the trailer, they're like, yeah, just show him that he rides it again. And I'm like, why are you doing that?
00:05:27
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:05:30
Cameron Resner
Yeah, I agree.
00:05:30
Callum Jackson
I wanted that in the cinema. And there's like another plot point where, do you know the the boy spider, the one that's human still?
00:05:37
Cameron Resner
i Yeah, just I just mentioned his name.
00:05:38
Callum Jackson
He's, yeah, he just breathes now. um You see, yeah, you see AWOL fucking going into his head and he's like, oh, I can breathe without a mask.
00:05:42
Cameron Resner
Just on the outside.
00:05:47
Callum Jackson
And I'm like, why are you putting this in the trailer? but There better be some big fucking things happening in this film for you to put those two scenes.
00:05:54
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:05:55
Callum Jackson
But, um, yes, so.
00:05:56
Cameron Resner
I'll tell you when I'll be really interested in avatars when they go to Earth. I want to see what Earth looks like.
00:06:02
Callum Jackson
Earth
Nostalgia for The Mummy & Comparisons to Indiana Jones
00:06:03
Callum Jackson
is fucked.
00:06:03
Cameron Resner
And I want to see...
00:06:03
Callum Jackson
You see it in the first... Oh, have you seen the extended edition?
00:06:05
Cameron Resner
ah do no
00:06:07
Callum Jackson
Ooh. You see Earth.
00:06:11
Cameron Resner
But is it dead?
00:06:11
Callum Jackson
You know... It looks... No, no. like' It looks like Cyberpunk.
00:06:14
Cameron Resner
Right. Yeah, but I want to see the Na'vi coming and being like...
00:06:15
Callum Jackson
But more Cyberpunk.
00:06:19
Callum Jackson
Yeah, what the fuck did you do to your planet sort of thing.
00:06:21
Cameron Resner
And then maybe it all ends with Earth. This is my theory, but it all ends with Earth becoming like a Pandora planet because they just like... They bomb it to shit, but whilst they're bombing it, they're like terraforming it back to...
00:06:37
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:06:38
Cameron Resner
But we shall see.
00:06:40
Callum Jackson
We shall continue talking about, you know, when we see Avatar. yeah I'm dragging you to the cinema. When we see it, at some point, we will talk about that and why I think it probably does deserve box office number one.
00:06:53
Cameron Resner
God.
00:06:55
Callum Jackson
Yeah?
00:06:56
Cameron Resner
Yeah, we can.
00:06:57
Callum Jackson
and Okay, cool.
00:06:58
Cameron Resner
I'm interested. I'm interested.
00:06:59
Callum Jackson
Cool, cool, cool. So, yeah, there was some things you wanted to talk about?
00:07:05
Cameron Resner
Yes, I think first on the list was The Mummy 4.
00:07:09
Callum Jackson
Oh, yeah.
00:07:09
Cameron Resner
yeah ah
00:07:11
Callum Jackson
multi betle ah so yeah more you
00:07:14
Cameron Resner
know it's probably racist um yeah i hope so and the score yeah okay so initial thoughts what do you what what do you feel about this news
00:07:17
Callum Jackson
Is he coming back?
00:07:21
Callum Jackson
Oh, yeah.
00:07:27
Callum Jackson
When I saw it I was just like, oh, fuck, yeah. Like, honestly, I was just, I'm so happy. Like, yes.
00:07:35
Cameron Resner
do you like the mummy three
00:07:36
Callum Jackson
Yes. But it's it's not, they're just going, they're erasing that, aren't they?
00:07:42
Cameron Resner
Oh, are they?
00:07:43
Callum Jackson
Yes. Yeah, yeah.
00:07:44
Cameron Resner
and Interesting to know that.
00:07:46
Callum Jackson
Yeah, I saw that and they they've um they're erasing the Mummy 3. And I think it's because Rachel Wise is coming back. So they were just like, oh, I guess this will be kind of weird if you watch 1 and 2, then like, fuck, um we're back to her, you know?
00:07:52
Cameron Resner
Yeah. time
00:08:01
Cameron Resner
Yeah, that's fair.
00:08:02
Callum Jackson
So, yeah, I do like The Mummy 3. I haven't ever... i'm Sorry, I have re-watched it, but every time I re-watch The Mummies, I only watch... It's either I'm just watching... I'm here for the first one, or I do watch one and two.
00:08:16
Cameron Resner
yeah
00:08:16
Callum Jackson
um And I haven't got to The Mummy 3. And I do think it is because the cast switch out was a bit...
00:08:22
Cameron Resner
Yeah, they don't work as well.
00:08:24
Callum Jackson
is No, it's definitely jarring to...
00:08:26
Cameron Resner
And it feels like... don't know. It feels like a TV movie compared to the rest for some reason. In my head. But I've watched it twice.
00:08:33
Callum Jackson
Yeah, no, no, I agree. It does, it has like a weird, weirdness to it.
00:08:34
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:08:37
Callum Jackson
It, it feels different.
00:08:37
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:08:40
Callum Jackson
But it shouldn't because it's the same director.
00:08:40
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:08:41
Callum Jackson
I don't know. Yeah, they, yeah.
00:08:42
Cameron Resner
It feels like worse CGI somehow than the first two. It doesn't feel as believable to me.
00:08:49
Callum Jackson
No, I agree.
00:08:49
Cameron Resner
And I think it's because it switches. It moves to Japan or China. I'm like, this isn't really the mummy, bro.
00:08:55
Callum Jackson
I think it is China. Yeah, yeah, it is China. somewhat Somewhere, somewhere along those lines.
00:09:02
Cameron Resner
Okay.
00:09:02
Callum Jackson
But, Yeah, i'm I'm really excited for it, though. i You know, like when you see Brendan Fraser get really excited, like someone said, would you do, like this was a while ago, they were like, would you do Mummy 4? And he was like, yeah, where do I sign?
00:09:14
Cameron Resner
For
00:09:14
Callum Jackson
Like he's so, you know, like you need more people that, you know, not I know obviously it's a job paycheck, obviously. I'm not slacking people off for that. But you need people that care about what they want to do or, you know, you get a better performance out of that.
00:09:26
Cameron Resner
sure.
00:09:31
Callum Jackson
is what I think, you know, and, you know, seeing how happy is and wanting to come back. I'm like, yeah, pretty cool. um
00:09:38
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:09:39
Callum Jackson
I'm surprised. I will say on the matter of it, I'm surprised, you know, after flops of uncharted and even the latest Indiana Jones, I was, I was honestly like, would it, would a studio want to try and do this again?
00:09:48
Cameron Resner
Yeah,
00:09:53
Cameron Resner
was the Uncharted a big flop? i thought it just okay.
00:09:56
Callum Jackson
I don't think it was because I think we are getting Uncharted 2. But I just mean like review wise.
00:10:00
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:10:02
Callum Jackson
Maybe not sales wise.
00:10:02
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:10:04
Callum Jackson
But you know if a film reviews shit and then you know and it and it it just passes, i wouldn't really go, yeah, let's let's jump in and make another one.
00:10:11
Cameron Resner
Mm-hmm.
00:10:14
Cameron Resner
Yeah, I think people need to be given time to kind of get back into that mood again. Because we kind of went through the era of like dark and gritty. Obviously with the Mummy reboot, Tom Cruise so in the Mummy and Russell Crowe's
00:10:27
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
CGI Evolution in Film
00:10:32
Cameron Resner
Hyde or Jekyll, one of them.
00:10:34
Callum Jackson
He's both.
00:10:35
Cameron Resner
He's both, yes. ah But yeah, I feel like... We're now coming into a period where everyone's had so much dark shit for so long.
00:10:44
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:10:44
Cameron Resner
And now people just want a bit of fun again. So I'm hoping it's kind going to hit at the right time.
00:10:47
Callum Jackson
Yeah. I agree with that.
00:10:50
Cameron Resner
And there'll be like lots of people that are like watched it when they were kids and be like, I want to watch this again.
00:10:54
Callum Jackson
Yeah. I just wish...
00:10:56
Cameron Resner
Whereas Indiana Jones was like, you've kind of just you haven't released. like and i don't I don't want to see 90-year-old man running around, to be honest.
00:11:00
Callum Jackson
Yeah. and
00:11:05
Callum Jackson
No. No, I feel like... Have you seen Die of Destiny?
00:11:09
Cameron Resner
I have, yeah.
00:11:10
Callum Jackson
Yeah, I feel like they've done a good job at it because he doesn't feel like that guy.
00:11:12
Cameron Resner
Yeah, I didn't mind it.
00:11:14
Callum Jackson
Like, he doesn't feel... Even the fourth one, he gives a bit more, doesn't he, in that? But this one, I don't remember him really properly throwing a punch.
00:11:19
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:11:22
Cameron Resner
No.
00:11:22
Callum Jackson
But, again, like, I didn't mind it, but I also hate when they do this with movies where it's like, do you remember your hero? Yeah, well, they're old and fucked now.
00:11:33
Cameron Resner
And now it's their kids.
00:11:34
Callum Jackson
Yeah, I don't, yeah, I just don't like it because, like I mean, Indiana Jones 3 had the perfect ending.
00:11:34
Cameron Resner
Like the Mummy 3. Yeah.
00:11:41
Callum Jackson
He rides into the sunset with his dad and his friends and then, you know, the adventure goes on, but like then they're like, oh, the mummy, the mummy, the Indiana Jones 4, oh, his his dad's dead now and He's not with Marion.
00:11:54
Callum Jackson
And I'm like, all right.
00:11:56
Cameron Resner
Yeah, it kind of changes it for...
00:11:58
Callum Jackson
And then they do it again in the fifth one. It's like his son's dead and he's also still not with Marion.
00:12:04
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:12:04
Callum Jackson
And I'm like, what the fuck?
00:12:05
Cameron Resner
I don't want to see these people, like, depressed.
00:12:05
Callum Jackson
They just, yeah, it's just like, I just, you know, he just got back.
00:12:08
Cameron Resner
I just...
00:12:11
Callum Jackson
Like if you watch him in order as well, you're like, oh man, he just had the ride of his life with his dad. And then they're just like, well, now he's sad and he's also older than his dad was.
00:12:16
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:12:21
Callum Jackson
And he's fucked.
00:12:23
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:12:23
Callum Jackson
He's got knee problems, back problems. He can't do it anymore. And I'm like, what the fuck are you doing? and So I only watched the first three.
00:12:29
Cameron Resner
yeah know i think that's where the mummy can do so i'm hoping that they if they're if they are scrapping three i'm hoping that they there's just like no children involved or anything and it's just to him like i mean he's probably got a bit of work to do to get back into a reasonable shape whether he's been looking better he's not the whale anymore
00:12:40
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:12:46
Callum Jackson
Yeah, I think Do you know what, though? I feel like, yeah, he's not that, but I feel like it's also quite interesting if you do just have that aspect, because I think there's films that can get away with it. I don't think Fat 4 did it for me. I thought that looked silly, but what was I was watching something...
00:13:04
Callum Jackson
The other day... Oh, it is it the the thing is, it's meant to be humorous. Do you know what we do in the shadows? And Guillermo in that is... I don't know if I'm reading this for you, but he's like a ah train killer.
00:13:19
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:13:19
Callum Jackson
he's He's Van Helsen's descendant. But watching him do it, there's nothing in my head going, oh, he can't do it, because they're physically showing me that he can. And I was like, wait, what? It's really weird to see.
00:13:30
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:13:30
Callum Jackson
But...
00:13:31
Cameron Resner
I think that's a bit more committed than I would want.
00:13:32
Callum Jackson
Yeah, it is. it is comedic.
00:13:33
Cameron Resner
ah picture
00:13:34
Callum Jackson
But the thing is, I believe it. Where Fat 4, I didn't.
00:13:36
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:13:37
Callum Jackson
I was like, this looks weird.
00:13:39
Cameron Resner
Mm-hmm.
00:13:39
Callum Jackson
it didn't it just it I was just like, this is fucking stupid. But I don't think... yeah Obviously, he's going to want to be in a bit of shape, isn't he, himself? I feel like Brendan Fraser's like, ah okay, I'll get a bit slimmed.
00:13:49
Cameron Resner
yeah
00:13:50
Callum Jackson
But I don't think... No,
00:13:52
Cameron Resner
I'm not saying you need to be like Chris Hemsworth because he wasn't even originally.
00:13:53
Callum Jackson
people no and he doesn't need to be like he did in 99. Yeah.
00:13:58
Cameron Resner
Yeah, but that wasn't even that stacked compared to most people.
00:14:01
Callum Jackson
No, like compared to people now, he was just really fit, wasn't he?
00:14:03
Cameron Resner
Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:05
Callum Jackson
But I think, yeah, me personally, I don't think he needs to. um But, you know, like he he's probably going to want to do it for himself, to be honest.
00:14:15
Cameron Resner
Hmm.
00:14:15
Callum Jackson
um You know, and if you're an adventurer and you're still going for that and you want a bit of fun, it adds a bit more to that, doesn't it? That he can still do it. You know, he's fit enough to be like, oh, I'm still exploring these tombs.
00:14:27
Cameron Resner
Yeah, I think i just I just don't want the story of, oh, I'm too old for this. I think that's all I just don't want. I just want the story.
00:14:32
Callum Jackson
Yes, no, I agree. I feel like you don't even really need to mention that.
00:14:37
Cameron Resner
I feel like like he's 56, apparently, and he looks pretty good, to be fair.
00:14:40
Callum Jackson
Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:42
Cameron Resner
So, i mean, yeah.
00:14:44
Callum Jackson
Yeah, they both do, to be honest. um
00:14:45
Cameron Resner
Mm-hmm.
00:14:46
Callum Jackson
Yeah, so there's not really a need to do it. They did have the kid in the second one, though. So I think Alex is still going to be there.
00:14:54
Cameron Resner
Yeah, I don't mind a younger kid. I mean, I just don't want the whole, oh, I'm too old.
00:14:58
Callum Jackson
Passing it down.
00:14:58
Cameron Resner
Now i'm got my kid's got to do everything
00:14:59
Callum Jackson
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, no, I agree. I mean, i I also, in the same fucking breath, like, if they do a Indiana Jones it's like, my son died in the Vietnam War, i'll be like, what the fuck, why?
00:15:11
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:15:11
Callum Jackson
What the fuck are you doing?
00:15:13
Cameron Resner
Why?
00:15:14
Callum Jackson
I mean, the son could die high in World War II, really, couldn't he? I mean, no, no, maybe not. No, maybe not. Maybe, I can't remember what year it's 19 something?
00:15:24
Cameron Resner
i Yeah, it's like 1910s or something.
00:15:24
Callum Jackson
Early 19. but Yeah, something like that. are Before World War one So technically, he's got a while off, but he can make World War II.
00:15:30
Cameron Resner
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:15:33
Cameron Resner
For sure.
00:15:34
Callum Jackson
He can get there. But yeah, don't do that. That's what I'm saying.
00:15:37
Cameron Resner
No.
00:15:37
Callum Jackson
Don't do that. And do you think they will bring back Yemote? Or do you think they'll do a different moment?
00:15:42
Cameron Resner
I did, yeah, that was going to be my question. Do you
00:15:44
Callum Jackson
Oh, okay.
Film Budgets & Storytelling Impact
00:15:45
Cameron Resner
you want a returning villain?
00:15:46
Cameron Resner
I think, do you want The Rock?
00:15:50
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:15:51
Cameron Resner
i would like I would actually, this is where I would accept the rock.
00:15:54
Callum Jackson
Yeah, bring it back.
00:15:56
Cameron Resner
I don't know how, but Scorpion King must return.
00:15:58
Callum Jackson
Yeah, neither do I. I feel like both of them should return. i mean, yeah, I feel like because it's been so long and you tried the third one and you went somewhere else and it's called The Mummy, it'll be pretty fucking cool to have Emotep back for whatever reason.
00:16:03
Cameron Resner
Yes.
00:16:10
Cameron Resner
Yep.
00:16:13
Callum Jackson
Because, again, they're already making it. It's like what I said in the last episode. They're already making it. The worst that it could be is I just don't watch the film again.
00:16:22
Cameron Resner
Yeah, exactly.
00:16:22
Callum Jackson
and Like, I just don't count it. Just... Whatever ideas you've got, I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited for it, but it could be hit or miss. I doubt you're going to go, oh yeah, now we've got the Mummy 5.
00:16:34
Cameron Resner
I don't know. I was going to ask that as well. i think button they
00:16:37
Callum Jackson
You think they're trying for that?
00:16:39
Cameron Resner
I think they would do maybe one more.
00:16:41
Callum Jackson
Okay, if it earns fucktons, then they are.
00:16:41
Cameron Resner
Yeah. um ah but Yeah, but I think you've got...
00:16:45
Callum Jackson
Regardless of what we want.
00:16:46
Cameron Resner
Because these actors, like, you're you're getting back... you got I mean, Brendan Fraser's now an Oscar winner. So that's, like...
00:16:54
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:16:55
Cameron Resner
I like that in itself is, like, you want to work with him shortly. And if he wants to do The Mummy, then you do The Mummy.
00:17:01
Callum Jackson
If he wants to do the mummy, you do the mummy.
00:17:01
Cameron Resner
If he wants to do another one, I'll do it. Yeah, but if he, like, comes out of this and is like, that was cool, like, you don't say no to him, I don't think.
00:17:08
Callum Jackson
Yeah. No, no. Yeah, i agree. I mean, yeah. they If they want to make more and they get enough money, I mean, that seems... This is
00:17:16
Cameron Resner
Oh yeah. um
Review of Predator: Badlands
00:17:17
Callum Jackson
what's annoying is it just seems like...
00:17:20
Callum Jackson
And I don't think films that earn it... Like, bring the budgets down. i Oh, I will go into something there. But bring the budgets down and, you know, you can achieve more of these movies and people will go out more and you'll earn more money.
00:17:29
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:17:31
Callum Jackson
I just...
00:17:33
Callum Jackson
some of the fucking prices of movies are insane. Like Indiana Jones, the last one was 350 plus million or something like that.
00:17:37
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:17:42
Callum Jackson
It doesn't need to be. Why the fuck?
00:17:44
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:17:44
Callum Jackson
What what are you doing? Did you literally go back in time and film? I just, yeah, it's it's crazy how much fucking things cost.
00:17:50
Cameron Resner
Yeah,
00:17:53
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:17:53
Cameron Resner
yeah I think they just need to keep it keep it within a reasonable amount.
00:17:56
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:17:59
Cameron Resner
It doesn't need to... If it's fun and it's a good story, I don't ah don't need something to look like hyper-real. I don't need the mummy to like see every like pick like
00:18:09
Callum Jackson
No.
00:18:13
Cameron Resner
ball hair on him. Like, generate it.
00:18:15
Callum Jackson
Do you what, though?
00:18:17
Cameron Resner
Mm-hmm.
00:18:17
Callum Jackson
The first Mummy, I think, holds up extremely well. CGI and all, like, for 99. It's the second one where it gets a bit sketchy. But the first one looks fucking good.
00:18:26
Cameron Resner
Oh yeah, I think the first one does.
00:18:29
Callum Jackson
it's like
00:18:30
Cameron Resner
Yeah, I'll just do that again.
00:18:31
Callum Jackson
The mummy still looks great. The way like after he's sucked off a man, the way he like his skin is coming back, like regenerating regenerating.
00:18:36
Cameron Resner
o
00:18:40
Callum Jackson
I just think it looks amazing still. I mean, I have that imagery of the mummy in my head to this day.
00:18:43
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:18:47
Callum Jackson
I fucking love it the The whole bit where he doesn't have eyes and he looks gooey. and it then he comes out and and fucking takes the dude's eyes and his tongue and shit fucking good and how he sucks off people and the CGI it still looks good there's so much sucking off he sucks off at least four men
00:18:58
Cameron Resner
Yeah, it's very good.
00:19:02
Cameron Resner
That's a lot of sucking off.
00:19:06
Cameron Resner
We're talking about the mummy, right?
00:19:09
Callum Jackson
i was talking about last weekend well we the mummy when Todd's birthday
00:19:11
Cameron Resner
Oh. George. Um. That was birthday. Um.
00:19:19
Callum Jackson
But um yeah that yeah, so I think, you know, the the argument yeah it just looks so good. i'm so and How the fuck does a film, even The Matrix looks good, how the fuck do they look good from 99? Like, do you know, there's a scene where he's mostly man at this point and a fucking beetle just walks around, goes into his mouth hole, like on the side of his cheek and then he chews it and it just, yeah, looks good.
00:19:37
Cameron Resner
yeah
00:19:42
Cameron Resner
I was thinking about this the other i was I think there was a period where like they were like CGI is quite new but we still feel like like because it's new we still we have to we feel like we have to try actually try with it and
00:19:42
Callum Jackson
That film, mm-hmm.
Christopher Nolan Films Discussion
00:19:53
Cameron Resner
try and prove it and like not just put out shit but now I think they're like
00:19:53
Callum Jackson
yeah
00:19:59
Callum Jackson
oh we can fix it in post that that is it because it's yeah that's that's it because the old films were like okay we storyboard in this this is how it goes and this is literally how it needs to be but nowadays it feels like oh we'll fix it in post
00:20:00
Cameron Resner
yeah we can fix the impulse and they never really do and then it looks it doesn't look as good as other things
00:20:15
Cameron Resner
I think they are moving to what, like, you know, with those massive, like, screens that they film stuff on.
00:20:19
Callum Jackson
Yeah, the sound thing.
00:20:20
Cameron Resner
Yeah. Where the thing's actually there.
00:20:23
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:20:23
Cameron Resner
I think that has improved some things.
00:20:26
Callum Jackson
It has.
00:20:26
Cameron Resner
Because...
00:20:28
Callum Jackson
But do you also feel like everything feels shot in a room now?
00:20:34
Cameron Resner
i think I think I did. i think there's been instances. So I think what the first one was like Mandalorian or something. I felt like that was shot in a room.
00:20:40
Callum Jackson
was just about to say. deloran
00:20:42
Cameron Resner
Yeah. But I feel like they there's been films that I've seen and then I've seen how they've made it afterwards and I've been like, oh shit, you've made it on that. But they've... They haven't just made it on that screen.
00:20:51
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:20:52
Cameron Resner
They've like taken they've still done location shoots and like blended that in as well. And I think that does a lot for it.
00:20:57
Callum Jackson
Hmm.
00:20:59
Callum Jackson
Yeah, no, definitely.
00:20:59
Cameron Resner
As opposed to Phantom Menace or but something where they're just like on a blue screen for the whole of the film.
00:21:06
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:21:07
Cameron Resner
And you're like, you can...
00:21:08
Callum Jackson
and
00:21:08
Cameron Resner
I mean, the CGI looks good, but again, you kind of...
00:21:09
Callum Jackson
Again, was going to say,
00:21:12
Cameron Resner
There's times where you see them like, you're like, it's not real.
00:21:14
Callum Jackson
Yeah, it does look weird. No, I was going to say, yeah, no, I agree. It looks like you're like, fuck, this is all CGI. It's kind of a weird thing, but I do think Revenge of the Sith holds up really well as well out of those trilogy.
00:21:20
Cameron Resner
yeah
00:21:27
Callum Jackson
I think when you look at the behind the scenes and it's just blue,
00:21:32
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:21:32
Callum Jackson
it's amazing that an artist can achieve those worlds.
00:21:34
Cameron Resner
Oh yeah, it's it's pretty crazy.
00:21:36
Callum Jackson
It's, it's, it is crazy. Like when you think of that Mustafa battle, I don't actually, I know it is CGI, but obviously in the back of my head, but I don't think once when they're fighting that I'm like, Oh yeah, I'm watching the CGI.
00:21:50
Callum Jackson
Yeah, Lava Planet.
00:21:51
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:21:52
Callum Jackson
that's that's you know Whether it's an artistic choice of how they've done it, I don't know.
00:21:56
Cameron Resner
For sure, yeah
00:21:56
Callum Jackson
But it works, is what I'm saying. It works within the world of Star Wars. And maybe the new ones could have
Ark Game Updates & Player Experience
00:22:03
Callum Jackson
lent a little bit more into that because everything feels like fucking Tatooine or Endor.
00:22:08
Cameron Resner
yeah.
00:22:09
Callum Jackson
But, you know.
00:22:10
Cameron Resner
It's all your fame set.
00:22:12
Callum Jackson
I'm not getting into Star Wars. I hate it!
00:22:13
Cameron Resner
God, how bad.
00:22:15
Callum Jackson
But...
00:22:16
Cameron Resner
um
00:22:16
Callum Jackson
but for
00:22:18
Callum Jackson
um But yeah, no, I think I would like to, if you don't, are you sort of dumb in that area? Because I would like to, it's still talking about it, but talking about um prices of like, you know, how much a film should cost.
00:22:24
Cameron Resner
Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:32
Callum Jackson
I think I saw somewhere, I recently saw Predator, Badlands.
00:22:36
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:22:36
Callum Jackson
And i really i think it was like 100 million, maybe a little bit over to make. And honestly, watching that film, and I know like you can tell like where they, you know upon you know looking at that budget, you're like, yeah, that makes sense.
00:22:50
Callum Jackson
But they made a fucking solid action film.
00:22:50
Cameron Resner
Mm-hmm.
00:22:53
Callum Jackson
like on Honestly, watch watch that film. I mean, actually, I'll probably have you around for that. But it's honest even if you don't like the Predator films, I think you'll walk out there yeah, that was good fun.
00:23:05
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:23:05
Callum Jackson
it's It's short. it's It's an hour and 47, which you know is like an hour and 38 with credits. yeah like you know really short and and um you know for that budget it's just it looks great that it just honestly it was a really good time like um i went in thinking it was going to be bad lands and um and it was good lands it was it was really it was really good like on it on the honestly thinking it was going to be dog shit right and i was like i'll see it anyway i like predator
00:23:13
Cameron Resner
Okay, yeah.
00:23:27
Cameron Resner
and
00:23:39
Cameron Resner
Yeah. Why did you think it was going to dog shit? The trailer?
00:23:42
Callum Jackson
I thought it was going to be dog shit because of the trailer.
00:23:43
Cameron Resner
You like Prey. Oh.
00:23:45
Callum Jackson
I thought the trailer looked bad. i was like, oh God. I didn't like the...
00:23:47
Cameron Resner
You like Prey, right? youre right
00:23:48
Callum Jackson
Yeah, i love Prey.
00:23:49
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:23:49
Callum Jackson
That's my favourite from the...
00:23:50
Cameron Resner
Is the same guy? Yeah. Yeah.
00:23:52
Callum Jackson
Yeah. But Prey also has the element of being Native Americans involved. And that time period, I was like, yeah, that's a cool one.
00:23:58
Cameron Resner
and
00:24:01
Callum Jackson
So I get even people will be like, yeah, whatever with Prey. But much like Assassin's Creed 3... There's a reason why I like them. Or like I i add bonus points to them because of what what the setting sort of is.
00:24:14
Cameron Resner
I know, of course, yeah.
00:24:15
Callum Jackson
But um no, this one, honestly, I think looking at the trailer, I didn't like that there was that this predator and how he looks. I think his look was kind of weird. And upon watching the film, it makes sense. He's ah basically run of the litter.
00:24:29
Callum Jackson
He's a weakness to his clan and he needs to be killed.
00:24:29
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:24:33
Callum Jackson
But... um
00:24:33
Cameron Resner
Yeah, it's like a different take on it.
00:24:35
Callum Jackson
yeah
00:24:36
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:24:36
Callum Jackson
But it was cool because it was like from the Predators perspective and they were talking for the first time and there were subtitles for them. and But I'm not kidding you. It's a fucking non-stop action film. it It really is a blast. like if you If you want to sit there for some entertainment, some light entertainment, really good. And there was surprisingly, there was good heart to it as well.
00:24:55
Cameron Resner
Yeah, don't mind some entertainment.
00:24:56
Callum Jackson
didn't Didn't expect it. But yeah, I won't go too deep into it. Maybe we'll talk about it.
00:25:01
Cameron Resner
No, i do I do definitely want to watch it
00:25:03
Callum Jackson
Yeah, maybe we'll talk about it you know um when we've both watched it.
00:25:06
Cameron Resner
Upon the watch.
00:25:06
Callum Jackson
We can give a quick sort of thoughts on it and if you liked it and more stuff to talk about in the future.
00:25:11
Cameron Resner
Oh yeah, for sure.
00:25:13
Callum Jackson
But yeah, I just wanted to give a quick, by the time this is out, if it's still in cinema or if it's not, I would say support it because it's ah it's a good, you know nice short film and I'm happy to pay some money to go see that in cinema.
00:25:21
Cameron Resner
Yeah, give it a watch.
00:25:29
Callum Jackson
like
00:25:29
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:25:29
Callum Jackson
Coming out, i was like... Because going in... i obviously i didn't I wasn't looking forward to it but coming out like as ah during it sorry I was like this is just a cool film like honestly in my head I went it's just cool like I felt like you know like I'm young again playing with my toys and just smashing them together i was just like this is fucking cool like I didn't need all this deep shit and it does have a surprisingly good story to it but yeah no it is yes it's it's what you want when you go to the cinema I think it's a very good
00:25:47
Cameron Resner
Yeah, I know you mean.
00:25:54
Cameron Resner
Yeah, just entertaining. Yeah.
00:26:01
Callum Jackson
and action film, which you know that could have also been bad because Predator's more of a horror almost, with him chasing down people.
00:26:08
Cameron Resner
Yeah, yeah. I know what you
00:26:09
Callum Jackson
But this was like, nah, fuck it, action.
00:26:12
Cameron Resner
mean.
00:26:13
Callum Jackson
And it links a bit to the Alien universe as well with Waylon, which was also cool to see that.
00:26:15
Cameron Resner
Yeah, that's all that. That's quite interesting. The investor editor again.
00:26:20
Callum Jackson
And if it's this director, I'll take it.
00:26:21
Cameron Resner
but My doorbell is ringing.
00:26:23
Callum Jackson
and
00:26:24
Cameron Resner

Cameron Resner
I will tell you who's at the door now.
00:26:29
Callum Jackson
Who?
00:26:29
Cameron Resner
It was a package.
00:26:30
Callum Jackson
Who? What was it?
00:26:31
Cameron Resner
Not even for me, for my next neighbor.
00:26:33
Callum Jackson
Oh, oh, fuck.
00:26:34
Cameron Resner
That's always the worst.
00:26:36
Callum Jackson
That is always the worst one.
00:26:37
Cameron Resner
I hated it because we live in a building of eight people and I'm like, because I work from home a lot of the time, it's just always me.
00:26:37
Callum Jackson
They're like, come on. And I'm like, all right, I'll calm down. And it's not for you.
00:26:45
Cameron Resner
Four people.
00:26:46
Callum Jackson
Yeah, they're like, can you knock on our neighbor's door? We know he's home.
00:26:49
Cameron Resner
before we got got curtains and like in the the room where i work it basically faced onto like the front drive and so they just they'd see i was there so i couldn't hide it at all now we have curtains so i would keep them closed please don't look at me um
00:27:02
Callum Jackson
You're like, I'm not here. Yeah, no, it is annoying. I hate the ones that fucking ring at 10.30 at night or some shit.
00:27:10
Cameron Resner
Oh, fuck yeah, I had that the other day.
00:27:10
Callum Jackson
I'm like, who is it?
00:27:12
Cameron Resner
was like, yeah.
00:27:12
Callum Jackson
i don't want to answer the door.
00:27:14
Cameron Resner
I got a pack like a notification saying your package will arrive today. And I was like, and then I forgot about it. And then they literally rung at like 10 o'clock. i was like, what are you doing?
00:27:24
Callum Jackson
Yeah, when when you get a parcel, if you get a parcel after 10, what the fuck you doing?
00:27:29
Cameron Resner
Yeah, take it home.
00:27:30
Callum Jackson
Just take it.
00:27:31
Cameron Resner
I don't care at that point.
00:27:31
Callum Jackson
Come back tomorrow. Yeah. You don't care at 10 o'clock, do you?
00:27:35
Cameron Resner
um I'm not going to use it.
00:27:36
Callum Jackson
You're ready to go bed.
00:27:36
Cameron Resner
um
00:27:37
Callum Jackson
Fucking idiots.
00:27:37
Cameron Resner
yeah You've already ruined my day by bringing it.
00:27:41
Callum Jackson
Anyway, that was a good time in there because I was, you know, i was kind of done with my Badlands review.
00:27:47
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:27:47
Callum Jackson
My quick review.
00:27:47
Cameron Resner
Yeah, i'm very interested in seeing it.
00:27:48
Callum Jackson
But yeah, pretty good.
00:27:49
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:27:50
Callum Jackson
Do you know I won't stand for? You rate an Interstellar a four.
00:27:54
Cameron Resner
That
00:27:55
Callum Jackson
What fuck's wrong with you? No, joking. I just saw it going on Letterboxd.
00:27:59
Cameron Resner
is a good, good, that, that, that.
00:28:01
Callum Jackson
Is that a good boring to you? What does that mean?
00:28:03
Cameron Resner
No, it's not. I think before I watched it again, I think in my head it was a good boring, but i actually liked it more this time.
00:28:11
Callum Jackson
i literally shit my pants in at IMAX again. I will go every time it's in IMAX.
00:28:15
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:28:16
Callum Jackson
But yeah, I love that film.
00:28:17
Cameron Resner
Mm-hmm.
00:28:19
Callum Jackson
um
00:28:19
Cameron Resner
and yeah i think I think, yeah, I was just more into it this time, I think. And I well i forgot a lot.
00:28:25
Callum Jackson
Yeah, that happens.
00:28:26
Cameron Resner
of this i like I don't think I've watched it since, four since it came out.
00:28:30
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:28:31
Cameron Resner
um And in my head, it was always like one of the lowest on the rung of the Nolan films. But I think think it's probably, yeah, it's gained some, I like it a bit more now.
00:28:40
Callum Jackson
God. We all have opinions and you know some can be wrong and that was but you know should be tougher than that.
00:28:43
Cameron Resner
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:28:52
Cameron Resner
I'm i'm in the minority. I know a lot of people like it a lot and it's like one of their favourites.
00:28:55
Callum Jackson
Yeah. That is my favourite.
00:28:59
Cameron Resner
I think when I first saw it, I thought it was too long, which is funny because I don't think some of his longer films are too long.
00:28:59
Callum Jackson
Of his.
00:29:02
Callum Jackson
God.
00:29:05
Cameron Resner
It's
00:29:06
Callum Jackson
Yeah. Like Tenant.
00:29:09
Cameron Resner
pretty good though.
00:29:10
Callum Jackson
It was pretty good. i I stand by that, to be honest. I still like Tenant, just saying.
00:29:15
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:29:15
Callum Jackson
I still like it.
00:29:16
Cameron Resner
What was it? Dunker? That.
00:29:18
Callum Jackson
Dunkirk was great.
00:29:19
Cameron Resner
That was good. Again, I haven't watched it since it came out, though. How long is...
00:29:22
Callum Jackson
but and theyve
00:29:22
Cameron Resner
Yeah,
00:29:23
Callum Jackson
I haven't watched that since it came out because I know I won't feel the same as I did in IMAX.
00:29:27
Cameron Resner
yeah I think that one is like a Noimax film.
00:29:29
Callum Jackson
Yeah, yeah that was that that scared me.
00:29:31
Cameron Resner
How long?
00:29:34
Callum Jackson
That film in IMAX. i was like, shit, that gun's loud.
00:29:35
Cameron Resner
Yeah, I remember it being broke. It's only 107 minutes.
00:29:39
Callum Jackson
Yeah, it's a short one.
00:29:41
Cameron Resner
Ooh. Okay, yeah, very good.
00:29:42
Callum Jackson
yeah Quite a short one, but the I still don't like Oppenheimer.
00:29:48
Cameron Resner
ah I do quite like it, but... Yeah.
00:29:52
Callum Jackson
that's ah That's a good Boren.
00:29:54
Cameron Resner
Yeah, I think he... i think, yeah, he's like he's quite... But he's quite good at doing different kinds of films, I feel like.
00:30:00
Callum Jackson
He is.
00:30:00
Cameron Resner
Like, they're always quite... They always build tension, I think, and I think that is what his films kind of do, like, from start to beginning...
00:30:06
Callum Jackson
Yeah, none of them have been bad.
00:30:08
Cameron Resner
But I like how he kind of jumps around different genres and different um ideas. And I think Oppenheimer was a good idea. The Odyssey, I'm going to cream on.
00:30:20
Cameron Resner
um That can be five hours. Yeah.
00:30:22
Callum Jackson
Yeah, I feel like that that's like tailored towards you. So yeah, glad you're getting it.
00:30:27
Cameron Resner
yeah
00:30:28
Callum Jackson
But right.
00:30:32
Callum Jackson
i've Have you seen any sort of arc news of recent? And I mean, really recent.
00:30:37
Cameron Resner
Not really recent.
00:30:39
Callum Jackson
I think, yeah, go on.
00:30:39
Cameron Resner
I saw, i was watching an interview with a director the director the other day, or the head of the studio, this morning, actually, but I haven't finished it.
00:30:44
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:30:46
Cameron Resner
Why? What has happened?
00:30:47
Callum Jackson
um Well, i believe
00:30:49
Cameron Resner
Is it shutting down?
00:30:50
Callum Jackson
not
00:30:51
Cameron Resner
it
00:30:52
Callum Jackson
um I believe the update's coming out tomorrow, their first major update.
00:30:58
Cameron Resner
Mmm.
00:30:58
Callum Jackson
And I think the new map's coming with it.
00:31:01
Cameron Resner
Oh, really? ah That would be bit cool to try that
00:31:02
Callum Jackson
Mm-hmm. So that's quite cool. But the, yeah, so we'll we'll give that a try. And then obviously the Christmas season, we' we'll be back to talk about this, I think, because, you know, there's quite big roadmap coming.
00:31:08
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:31:15
Cameron Resner
Yeah, it'd be interesting to see you're still fully gassed for it upon my return.
00:31:15
Callum Jackson
But, um yeah, they, yeah, that's, yeah, that's a good point as well.
00:31:21
Cameron Resner
um i ah Yeah, when we got killed yesterday, I was like, what's this?
00:31:25
Callum Jackson
Yes. Yeah, no, even I was, I was like twice in a row, was it, or three times?
00:31:27
Cameron Resner
you As you said, I think ah think it was getting it twice in a row.
00:31:32
Callum Jackson
Yeah, and yeah no but it was the it was...
00:31:33
Cameron Resner
Although I didn't even die the first time, but...
00:31:36
Callum Jackson
And also, I would like to say, I think duos might be the way to go for a peaceful life, because we did go duos.
00:31:44
Cameron Resner
oh yeah I think p ah solos and duos are generally...
00:31:47
Callum Jackson
Yeah, but like, three players, everyone wants to fucking kill It becomes Team Deathmatch.
00:31:53
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:31:53
Callum Jackson
And like I said, i do I love that there are players that want to kill you because it adds that element.
00:31:57
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:31:59
Callum Jackson
We've said that in our review. But when you have game after game after game and every fucker in the lobby is gunning for you and not the arcs or even looting, they just want to kill you.
Late Night Deliveries & Gaming Modes
00:32:11
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:32:11
Callum Jackson
it just It did take it away from me yesterday because every fucker wanted us to... it I honestly thought I just dropped into Battle Royale. Because, do you know, when we we were on the run, fucking Todd got down, then I got down, you got down, and it was just over and over, and it was just bombardment by different people, and it obviously it was the smallest map, so you always kind of get fucked on that one, but still, it doesn't excuse it.
00:32:20
Cameron Resner
Yeah. yeah
00:32:26
Cameron Resner
Yeah. It wasn't good enough.
00:32:32
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:32:36
Callum Jackson
I just felt like yesterday, I was like, what the fuck is going on?
00:32:36
Cameron Resner
Nice. And I think for me, i like now my resources are like all quite low. So I'm like... i like Because we were chatting about how at the beginning of the game, just using like a load of free loadouts, and then I wasn't i still then wasn't building like a lot of weapons or anything.
00:32:49
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:32:52
Callum Jackson
No.
00:32:52
Cameron Resner
But as soon as you start building, like your resources go down quite quickly, I feel.
00:32:56
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:32:57
Cameron Resner
And then it is quite... but like The simple gun parts or the medium gun parts are all quite ball-achy, I feel like. Yeah.
00:33:03
Callum Jackson
Yeah, like, I do think that... I personally feel like there is some rebalancing to be done because, you know, I think, you know, I i believe George and Todd are fucking a million hours into the game.
00:33:09
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:33:15
Callum Jackson
um
00:33:15
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:33:16
Callum Jackson
But, you know, we've we've roughly got the same sort of hours, like 20 to 25
00:33:19
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:33:19
Callum Jackson
twenty to twenty five
00:33:20
Cameron Resner
yeah
00:33:21
Callum Jackson
um And I'm fine with it, but like ah if they didn't change it, I'm saying. But I do feel like they need to do a sort of update on it where I can get things easier.
00:33:36
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:33:37
Callum Jackson
Like, you know?
00:33:37
Cameron Resner
And I want to keep the blueprints from your prestige as well. hu That is the one thing I'm like, fuck.
00:33:42
Callum Jackson
the fuck's going on?
00:33:44
Cameron Resner
ah don't want to lose this.
00:33:45
Callum Jackson
Sorry, one second.
00:33:46
Cameron Resner
That's why.
00:33:47
Callum Jackson
What the fuck is happening? What do you
00:33:50
Cameron Resner
What's happening outside? Someone being shot.
00:33:52
Callum Jackson
Hello.
00:33:53
Cameron Resner
Hello.
00:33:54
Callum Jackson
Sorry, my fucking computer wanted to do an update with meta and it changed my headset to that.
00:33:57
Cameron Resner
Hello.
00:33:59
Callum Jackson
Sorry, what was saying? Yeah, they need to do an update where ah things are easier to get because like you said, we've we've put 20 plus hours into it and you're coming on and you still have to use a free loadout.
00:34:11
Cameron Resner
Yeah, like the highest weapon I've been able to use is a blue one and I think there's like two above it and I feel like...
00:34:11
Callum Jackson
That's not...
00:34:15
Callum Jackson
yeah that's Yeah, that's not too fun, is it? Like, there should be, maybe by default, maybe when you go down, you can you can quickly put your gun into your safe slot, you know?
00:34:29
Cameron Resner
Yes.
00:34:30
Callum Jackson
Because you can't do anything while being down. I'm like, well, now I don't know what's in my safe slot.
00:34:34
Cameron Resner
Yeah, or maybe like, ah i don't know, they I don't think they do, but like a level three combat like kit, you should save your weapon or something.
00:34:43
Callum Jackson
I think you can, but I don't um haven't seen it yet myself.
00:34:46
Cameron Resner
i was going to say, but I think there should be like a weapon safe pocket if you're using that kind of kit or something.
00:34:51
Callum Jackson
Yeah, definitely because you know it takes a long time to get to these points.
00:34:52
Cameron Resner
That would be...
00:34:56
Cameron Resner
Yes.
00:34:56
Callum Jackson
and you know like we fought ah That was me as well. We fought our first Bastion yesterday.
00:35:02
Cameron Resner
That was fun, yeah.
00:35:03
Callum Jackson
It was really fun, but that's the point. is like I took to get there.
00:35:05
Cameron Resner
um Yeah.
00:35:07
Callum Jackson
five hours to get there And it's like, and I won't be able to fight, well, we won't be able to fight again because our stash is completely done because, you know, free versus freeze are completely hostile territory.
00:35:21
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:35:21
Callum Jackson
So, you know, there's definitely room for improvement. Maybe things costing less to make would, you know, because, you know, there's people that are grinding it so much.
00:35:27
Cameron Resner
Yeah, I think that's a big one.
00:35:32
Callum Jackson
And like, I'm, I feel like I'm already starting to drop behind a little bit um on, you know, people just running in.
00:35:36
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:35:39
Callum Jackson
Like, that's why I wasn't having fun. Like, they've got top loadouts. I can't compete with that.
00:35:43
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:35:43
Callum Jackson
Just simple words.
00:35:44
Cameron Resner
And that's always the thing with me. It's always a delicate, but like, as soon as I see like loads of people pulling ahead, I'm like, okay, this isn't, I don't know why it just kind of like saps some fun out of it. I'm like, okay, now I'm just weaker than everyone.
00:35:55
Callum Jackson
yeah no I agree yeah yeah agree ah but I do think they balance that within saying that I do think they balance it because you do lose things so you could have the top player and you've just fucking killed him and he's lost his gun
00:35:57
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:36:07
Cameron Resner
I mean, I have killed, yeah, and I've been able to kill people, like, with a I've gone into the free kit and killed, like, someone who's had a pretty good kit on them. So you can.
00:36:15
Callum Jackson
Yeah, there is, it it is a really good game.
00:36:16
Cameron Resner
It does work that way. Yeah.
00:36:18
Callum Jackson
there's I don't have anything wrong with it. i just think with the spending on stuff that like simple weapon parts and stuff, I feel like there just should be an easier way around it.
00:36:29
Callum Jackson
And I think that's my only, after playing it for, what has it been, two weeks or something? um You know, that's my criticism on the game. Just maybe make it a bit more friendly to people that don't play all the time.
00:36:38
Cameron Resner
Yeah, or ma yeah or make it so you get more stuff when you salvage or recycle things.
00:36:45
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:36:46
Cameron Resner
Because there's like things I recycle and I'm like, it's like a blue, it looks like a nice metal object and I get like two four metal from it and I'm like, okay, great.
00:36:46
Callum Jackson
Just...
00:36:54
Callum Jackson
yeah
00:36:55
Cameron Resner
This this doesn't even make me one like simple machine part.
00:36:57
Callum Jackson
No, I agree.
00:36:59
Cameron Resner
Oh, yeah.
00:36:59
Callum Jackson
Yeah. And yeah, I feel like, you know, it's just started out and to come out the fucking gate running, which they have is pretty but impressive, to be honest.
00:37:05
Cameron Resner
ah yeah
00:37:12
Callum Jackson
Anyway, but um I also see that they, it says ah the developers are dropping the cosmetic prices and they are also offering refunds um to people that have already spent.
00:37:12
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:37:20
Cameron Resner
Oh,
00:37:25
Callum Jackson
So I would be one of those people.
00:37:27
Cameron Resner
ah very nice. didn't realize that was out.
00:37:28
Callum Jackson
So yeah, because I bought one in the outfits. But yeah, people were obviously like, I can't really earn cosmetics because the battle pass isn't even giving me enough coins to get them.
00:37:31
Cameron Resner
I'd be complaining.
00:37:36
Cameron Resner
Oh, yeah, that is true.
00:37:37
Callum Jackson
So yeah, I feel like that's good. you know And also they're like, yeah, you know we priced them too high. Here's some refunds. Straight away pretty much as well. So they're not even you know trying to go around it and going, oh, well, if you bought it, you've done that.
00:37:52
Callum Jackson
They're like, no, here you go. People that have bought it, here's a bit of a refund here. So can't complain there.
00:37:57
Cameron Resner
Yeah. That's good one, yeah.
00:38:00
Callum Jackson
And apparently it silently enabled duo prioritized matchmaking. So I think it's trying to go for more of a duo's game. But, you know, I'm having fun in all of them.
00:38:12
Callum Jackson
It's just, you know, the host... the Jesus. Did you hear that car?
00:38:16
Cameron Resner
What was that?
00:38:18
Callum Jackson
It was a machine gun fire.
00:38:19
Cameron Resner
Jesus.
00:38:20
Callum Jackson
But no, I do think like it's um it's fun anyway, but you need to change your mindset because I'm a peaceful player.
00:38:27
Cameron Resner
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:38:28
Callum Jackson
I like to not shoot first, but shoot last. and But three versus three, I don't even know where they are. i'm just getting shot. So I don't know.
00:38:40
Callum Jackson
Hostile territory. Go in there with the mindset that you're going to kill someone and you're goingnna steal all their loot and you'll be okay.
00:38:47
Cameron Resner
I do actually really, yeah. And ah to be honest, i do it I do actually enjoy going in by myself as well. ah
00:38:53
Callum Jackson
Yeah, no, that is really fun to go and buy yourself as well.
00:38:53
Cameron Resner
I do doing some quests and picking up stuff and just kind of going in just to get stuff is quite... and I went in yesterday before you came on and I took in... ah just had the loadout I had when I logged off before and it like had all my good shit on it. And then I was like,
00:39:09
Cameron Resner
I loaded in and I was like, oh, i ah what have I done? I was like, why have I come in just to like do these like couple of quests and I've got everything on me?
00:39:14
Callum Jackson
Yeah.
00:39:20
Cameron Resner
that But thankfully, like the game ended and I was doing the extraction and literally five separate players all came came out while I was doing it and were all like, don't shoot, don't shoot.
00:39:32
Cameron Resner
So yeah, that was good shit.
00:39:32
Callum Jackson
Yeah. But that's what I like about it. They kind of...
00:39:34
Cameron Resner
Yeah.
00:39:36
Callum Jackson
You know, it's called Ark Raiders as well and the enemies are called the Ark. They're kind of... ah They've done it really well. It's just like, you might get shot, you might not. You know? And without that, it wouldn't be as entertaining.
00:39:48
Callum Jackson
So, you
00:39:48
Cameron Resner
No.
Future Podcast Topics & Conclusion

00:40:24
Cameron Resner

Callum Jackson
It did, but maybe that's the tunnel system leading to it.
00:40:26
Cameron Resner
Well, at least on... just Oh, yeah, yeah. That would make sense.
