Cameron Resner: Welcome to Cosmic Kimono, the fifth installment, I think, the of the world-leading beatboxing podcast.
Callum Jackson: I was going to say welcome to the Metal Gear podcast, but I thought that was me for a second.
Cameron Resner: This is a recording of you from earlier.
Callum Jackson: I thought you managed to actually record. Wait, is this me?
Cameron Resner: No, it wasn't you.
Callum Jackson: Because I no idea if I started fucking beatboxing that then.
Cameron Resner: I think you were close to that.
Callum Jackson: ah and For some context, um I was waiting in this call for five minutes ah thinking Cameron had gone.
Cameron Resner: I
Callum Jackson: And I just started whistling and then fucking beatboxing to myself.
Cameron Resner: read now.
Callum Jackson: Oh, yeah, the whistling. I was seeing how loud I could get because I get the feedback. I was putting Cameron's poor ears
Cameron Resner: I was getting feedback.
Callum Jackson: through all this for five minutes and I was just scrolling steam going
Cameron Resner: shit Some parts were quite good.
Callum Jackson: I'm glad you enjoyed duta tin ah yeah fucking Dumbo came to my head mean on our OnlyFans page you'll be able to hear the whole uncensored five minutes yes
Cameron Resner: I did. Very good. We'll release the unedited five minute of beatboxing for paid subscribers.
Cameron Resner: George Bob, if you want to send us five pounds, we'll send it to you.
Callum Jackson: Only you are lucky fans. Speaking of George, sorry, that just reminded me. um He did, in fact, listen and he reminded me of the film that it was that we saw and when i fell asleep, like after Florida.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Cameron Resner: Right.
Callum Jackson: it was And i'm I'm gutted with myself that I remembered the other two, but not this one because I liked this one.
Cameron Resner: You liked it, but you fell asleep.
Callum Jackson: yeah No, it was after Florida. I was falling asleep during everything.
Cameron Resner: Right.
Callum Jackson: um It was um Hunger Games, the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, the newest one.
Cameron Resner: ah Yeah, that was a good film.
Callum Jackson: And I like that film.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, it was a good film.
Callum Jackson: But luckily for me, I fell asleep during the Hunger Games part, which was the weakest for me. It went on too long anyway, in my opinion.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Definitely.
Callum Jackson: Like they could have filled out other stuff in the film. but And I will say that is my favourite Hunger Games film.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, it is pretty good. It was surprisingly good. I remember when I watched it a few months ago.
Callum Jackson: yeah
Cameron Resner: it was um I just assumed it would be bad.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, so did I, but um it it did look good I think it's because the last two Hunger Games, the ones that they split up into two, I wasn't really a fan of, and then that kind of just killed it out of my mind anyway.
Cameron Resner: i don't know why. ah
Callum Jackson: But um I think, yeah, no when I watch that, now I'm interested again in whatever sort of film or book story that will come from it.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Callum Jackson: So good job.
Cameron Resner: I think it might have been Fantastic Beasts that soured me on stuff like that.
Callum Jackson: Oh, God.
Cameron Resner: Oh, sorry.
Callum Jackson: Which one?
Cameron Resner: The first one I didn't mind. The second and third one.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, the first one's good.
Cameron Resner: No. and think I think the third one came out... When third one come out? last Two years ago.
Callum Jackson: ah It's a while ago.
Cameron Resner: can't remember.
Callum Jackson: I remember we saw that together, but i did i never I've never seen the second one because...
Cameron Resner: A while ago. Was that around Florida? No, it can't be.
Callum Jackson: No, that I feel like that was before.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I think it probably
Callum Jackson: Yeah, because i um I don't normally, like, if something even gets shit on that I'm looking forward to, I normally go and see it. But Fantastic Beasts was really shit on, wasn't it?
Cameron Resner: was. Yep. The
Callum Jackson: The second one, I think.
Cameron Resner: second one was, yeah.
Callum Jackson: And I just, yeah, and I never got around to it. And then when i when we went to see the third one, which this is the first time I've ever done that, but it was more of just hanging out with friends, to be honest. That's how i went. But i ah yeah, that was a bad film.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: It was just a bad film.
Cameron Resner: God, destroyed the franchise.
Callum Jackson: Yep, so now we get a rebooted HBO show.
Cameron Resner: Oh.
Callum Jackson: I'm more looking forward to the audiobook.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, that would be exciting.
Callum Jackson: That's going to be so good. I think that'll be the definitive way to experience it if you don't read.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: I mean, even if you do read, it you're going to like it.
Cameron Resner: No, I think so.
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I mean, I'd be interested to see how.
Callum Jackson: But yeah.
Cameron Resner: Well, I mean, the show is 10 hours per series. That's going to be...
Callum Jackson: What?
Cameron Resner: How long do you think the audiobooks will be? How long is the first I haven't read or listened to any of them?
Callum Jackson: Um, I reckon...
Callum Jackson: See, the they get longer as they go. Well, I think the fifth, yeah, the fifth one's the longest one.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: um But I remember ah reading them and it took me like a year, maybe more to finish the fourth one because I thought it was so long. And I didn't, I know, like I looked online and i I'm going to say it was my headspace and like, because I was reading them quite.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: And then, and yeah, that was around the time i i started reading them. Then Hogwarts Legacy came out. Then I watched the films. Then we went to Florida. Like my brain exploded with Harry Potter. So i was kind of done anyway.
Callum Jackson: So I will put it was more on me.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: But I remember it was so rough to get through. Like I was just bored every time I fucking started reading it.
Cameron Resner: The fourth one.
Callum Jackson: like, I don't want to be here. Yeah, the fourth one. But it's not a bad book.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: I think it was just because I burnt myself out. And I was feeling it towards the end of Hogwarts Legacy.
Cameron Resner: Did you say that's the longest or the fifth one is?
Callum Jackson: No, the fifth one's the longest. The fourth one's not that much shorter by but memory.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I remember them being similar size.
Callum Jackson: But they are... Yeah, they get big. And like...
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: They describe everything. And I feel like because I grew up on the films and I like the films, like there's some storylines that I'm like, you don't need to, you don't need to put this out there.
Callum Jackson: But like, I'm glad that, ah you know, one thing from the HBO show, if it is any good to start off with, but there is longer and like with budgets of stuff now, you know, that might be a good thing.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: Cause then it will be like on par with the movies, like with budget, yeah but then it's longer. So, you know, hopefully it's good. I can imagine there's going to be a lot that's not in the original films that will make up for it being a TV show and probably existing.
Cameron Resner: Oh, I assume so, yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. So I am looking forward to on that point of view, but like, it is that thing of like, we've already had it. So like, I would rather new stuff in the universe, but you know, like I know they're trying to introduce new kids.
Callum Jackson: It's not even for us, you know, so whatever.
Cameron Resner: Hmm.
Callum Jackson: But um yeah, I think it,
Cameron Resner: I've seen rumours of a beginning of Hogwarts prequel TV show.
Callum Jackson: Oh, really? See, that is, that's what I wanted, something like that. And I know, like, Soph would love, like, a Marauders um film or something, show
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Callum Jackson: um But yeah, I feel like that, I mean, even a book would be good of that. I know there's a um fan fiction one, but probably, there's probably some smut in there somewhere.
Cameron Resner: Filthy fan fiction. don't know what's going in there.
Callum Jackson: Which is, you know, would be disturbing since, you know, it's them in school and kids. But no, no, I think it's actually, I think Sophie was reading it.
Cameron Resner: It's just teacher romances.
Callum Jackson: ah Yeah, exactly. It's just like, serious black caught them. it's No, stop this. But um yeah, I think, ah no, Sophie was reading it.
Callum Jackson: I can't remember what, I don't want to get her on, but i feel like it's all the young boys, dudes, something that. can't remember.
Cameron Resner: oh What, the...
Callum Jackson: But she was reading it and it was long.
Cameron Resner: ever What, like... Harry's dad and stuff.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, all the Marauders and...
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, was it was them being young. No,
Cameron Resner: I think that was a... I remember you talking about it. I think there was a raunchy bit in it, I thought.
Callum Jackson: no I don't know if it was... I don't... No, no, that was... um Lupin's gay, apparently.
Cameron Resner: Wasn't Lupin... Lupin or something? Hmm.
Callum Jackson: Or maybe. I don't know. No, I don't...
Cameron Resner: And Tonks from there.
Callum Jackson: and't is One of them's gay, for some reason.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Instead of just all being friends, one of them had to be gay. But the... I think... The one that's raunchy a bit was the other one with Draco and Hermione.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Mmm, okay, yeah.
Callum Jackson: So I don't know much about that except from... what Is it Maiden's Tale? Is that a thing? I feel like i'm trying to remember like what these fan fictions are like based on.
Cameron Resner: Oh, The Handmaid's Tale.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, probably that.
Cameron Resner: What?
Callum Jackson: ah Yeah, yeah. but it's is's What is that actually about? Do you know what that's...
Cameron Resner: ah Yeah, it's about um like a dystopian America where they have women as basically they'll they'll be like a man and a woman and then they'll bring a woman in to carry their child.
Cameron Resner: But it's all very slavish.
Callum Jackson: I'm pretty sure that's it.
Cameron Resner: oh
Callum Jackson: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what is based on, the Hermione and Draco fanfiction.
Cameron Resner: Draco brings Hermione in as a...
Callum Jackson: Yeah. Yeah, because I think they want to make it like pure wizard bread.
Cameron Resner: Pre-obred, yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, i I'm just, no, I'm not there for it.
Cameron Resner: Right, I can. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Do you know what? The storyline is fine. Like, you know, obviously it's been told before.
Cameron Resner: ye Yeah, it doesn't need to be here.
Callum Jackson: um That's not the bit I have a problem with. It's like, it's Harry Potter related. And I'm like, don't fuck with innocence and stop this now so yeah that's it's the subject matter it's like there's loads of weird sort of fan fictions but um yeah i think if they just sort of expand around it instead of just giving us the same thing in and out kind of whatever your opinions are of rings of power i personally like it but um at least it's new yeah
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. I mean, you still have movies at the end of the day, but if it's bad, just don't watch it.
Callum Jackson: Exactly. yeah That's, that's a literally like, ah think like, uh,
Cameron Resner: And if it's good, it will mean Harry Potter's around for longer for everyone.
Callum Jackson: Exactly. But that's the thing with everything. It's like, is ah if you don't like it, just don't watch it. Like I stopped watching Disney Star Wars and I haven't even got to Andor, which I heard is good.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: But, you know, like Mandalorian, I gave up because I don't like it, but it's not affecting the people that do like it.
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Callum Jackson: Like just, you know, like that if they like it, cool.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: um You know, and then I'll wait for the thing that I do like that comes through. it I'm sure there'll be something at some point, but it's the same.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, these things are so big now, not everything can be for everyone.
Callum Jackson: No, no. And I think that's why I actually liked Rings of Power though, because if it was just Lord Rings again, I, I actually, I don't think unlike Harry Potter for some reason, I think of the Rings is perfect.
Callum Jackson: And I actually would not, I would actually just not bother watching any, if there was a remake movie or show, would just be like, I'm good.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: That's one thing that be like, I don't need it.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, can do that.
Callum Jackson: I won't even attempt. There's just no need.
Cameron Resner: It is, yeah, especially with the extended editions and stuff, you've got everything you need.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, I feel like it, I mean, if you were to watch, I'm i'm sure something might be like that for you. Like, imagine if they remade like like the Pierce Brosnan exact movies.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: You'd like the Bond film, you'd just be like, I don't need it.
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Callum Jackson: It's not going to get better for me personally. So yeah, but there's always an audience. I'm just saying like, for me, I'm just like, yeah, that's the one thing I'll be like, yeah, i can't bother
Cameron Resner: Yeah, and it's crazy. What are the books, like 30 years old now or something?
Callum Jackson: What, for Harry Potter?
Cameron Resner: More than that? Harry Potter, yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, I think...
Cameron Resner: More than 30, I think.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, I think they came... Actually, no, I think they haven't... I don't... night I want to say 96, but I'm not sure. Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Which is crazy.
Callum Jackson: It is. um But I do... I do really like the books.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I'd like to read
Callum Jackson: I think they're good. i still I've only got to the fourth one. I didn't carry on. I'm still on that. Oh, it says... I just looked it up. It's 97 it came out.
Cameron Resner: Oh, okay.
Callum Jackson: A few days after my birthday, it was right.
Cameron Resner: So, delicious.
Callum Jackson: I'm Harry Potter. Yeah.
Cameron Resner: That is the one thing about the the show that I think they're doing differently is that they have, they've got, it's all based in the 90s, like actual early 90s, I think, which is...
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, well, the films, um they don't really put a date except from when you look at the graves.
Cameron Resner: No.
Callum Jackson: I think the the graves show the date, but when I was growing up, I ah wouldn't have told you that the Battle of Hogwarts happened in the 90s or something.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Oh, no. Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's really going to matter once they're at Hogwarts, but it's just interesting.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: No, like, I just mean, like, when I watched it, I thought it is now. Like, when we were watching it, back and when when the last film came
Cameron Resner: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I think you only, like, when Harry's in his, like, own clothes, like, is it the Half-Blood Prince?
Callum Jackson: Hmm.
Cameron Resner: Is that the beginning where he's, like, on the swing?
Callum Jackson: ah Yeah.
Cameron Resner: What was that?
Callum Jackson: That's The Order of Phoenix, yeah.
Cameron Resner: Order of the Phoenix. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's the scene that comes my head off.
Callum Jackson: But I feel like Yeah, they do they do feel like like you can... If you're told they're the 90s, I feel like you can see that. and like Especially the first one, like because that was just coming out of the 90s anyway.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, definitely.
Callum Jackson: So like it does definitely feel like that sort of fashion.
Cameron Resner: Hmm.
Callum Jackson: um But yeah, it gets a bit... there's there's It slightly turns into the 2000s, doesn't it?
Cameron Resner: Hmm.
Callum Jackson: With the clothes.
Cameron Resner: you think we're going to get a Jimmy Savile appearance?
Callum Jackson: Why? Why?
Cameron Resner: I don't know, because he wasn't dead then. He was a good man back then.
Callum Jackson: Oh, fuck, yeah. He was a good man. The second Jimmy Savile bit.
Cameron Resner: It's like 28 years later.
Callum Jackson: I need to see more.
Cameron Resner: Who else?
Callum Jackson: Actually, in 28 years later, too, I need to see, like, because they're Power Rangers. I got that bit. But the Jimmy Savile obsession, don't know.
Cameron Resner: Well,
Cameron Resner: I don't know. My like my mum loved Jimmy Savile before, obviously, before that happened.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. I think my dad did, too.
Cameron Resner: and
Callum Jackson: He wrote into him. Thank fuck he didn't go on the show.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, so did my mum, I think.
Callum Jackson: and Yeah. Go on.
Cameron Resner: so So maybe it's just that kind of thing, isn't it? It's just like what people look up to, I guess. But it's a weird one to pick.
Callum Jackson: I mean, look at him, though. He's never looked normal.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Even when he fucking knew the Beatles, I would have been like, no.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, he's not even normal in the 70s or 80s.
Callum Jackson: No.
Cameron Resner: That's sad.
Callum Jackson: He looked fucked at all times. He looked like the guy that you'd be like, yeah, don't let the kids near him.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, don't go on a TV show them.
Callum Jackson: And I don't know if that's because we've grown up with that sort of...
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I wonder if that's because that's now the just what we see is a as a nonce, yeah.
Callum Jackson: as a nonce yeah yeah probably probably because I think before we even knew I just sort of saw him and thought he looked like a weird dude but it wasn't like I wouldn't automatically assumed he's a nonce so yeah it's obviously you know well um Elton John
Cameron Resner: Who's next for the nonceing?
Cameron Resner: Not Daniel Radcliffe.
Callum Jackson: no he keeps coming on set no I actually had, I think I had a thought, sorry, I'm getting away from the nonce, but because you said Daniel Radcliffe, I feel like I had a thought, I was like earlier, because I had like this, like a thought process of like Robert Pattinson, right?
Cameron Resner: Very good. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: in um Because I think I saw something about Batman too, like why it's taken so long.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: And then I thought about him, like Kojima keeps posting him. And I'm like, I think in my head, in Kojima's new game, he's going to be like the main character. I think he's doing a sort of,
Cameron Resner: Robert Pattinson.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, I feel like he's doing like a sort of a new espionage game.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I think I have seen that as well. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: And I feel like he wants Robert Pattinson to be the lead, if not a big part, kind of like Troy Baker is in the Death Stranding games. But, you know, either the lead or the villain, something major.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Anyway, he has like ah an obsession. movement But then I thought I was like, oh, God,
Cameron Resner: He just gets a load of weird people in his games.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, ah just one and he like he had fucking YouTubers in Death Strand, Raka Raka.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, it's quite crazy.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. He's a ninja. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, weird. um But yeah, Robert Pattinson, I was like, oh yeah, who could he play? Like what teacher could he play in in the Harry Potter show? Like I don't know why that came to my head, but then I went, he's in Harry Potter.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: He's not coming back.
Cameron Resner: But mean, Warwick Davis is in both of them.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: He's playing.
Callum Jackson: That was cool to see there.
Cameron Resner: So, yeah.
Callum Jackson: Who's he playing?
Cameron Resner: Flitwick, the same teacher.
Callum Jackson: he's playing the same... Oh, cool. That is cool.
Cameron Resner: I don't know if he'll play Griphook as well, because I think he played him.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, did he... I don't know if it is grip, but the first one that's like, Lamp, please.
Cameron Resner: Oh, no, that's Mini-Me.
Callum Jackson: It is... Yeah, Minimi, but I don't know if that was... If that is grip. I meant the character that he's playing.
Cameron Resner: Oh, yeah, I think i think it is Griphook.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, okay.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Because he did pass away, didn't he? Before the last film, maybe?
Cameron Resner: He did.
Callum Jackson: I don't know.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I think so.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, but yeah, that's why. Probably Warwick took over. but Yeah, no, that is cool. When I saw that Warwick was coming back, i was like, that's quite cool. But I did see...
Cameron Resner: I think it would be cool to throw someone in there as a teacher. I don't know. Maybe not someone major, but just like...
Callum Jackson: Just Daniel Radcliffe.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: He's just Dumbledore now.
Cameron Resner: I don't know.
Callum Jackson: No, he should be serious.
Cameron Resner: I was thinking perhaps the Luna actress is the crazy ah the the lady who sees stuff in the tea leaves.
Callum Jackson: Nanny McPhee.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, that one.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Something like that.
Cameron Resner: But she's... thank
Callum Jackson: I don't know I've forgotten her name. Fuck.
Cameron Resner: ah eva eight Evelyn something?
Callum Jackson: Yeah, no, I'm talking about the fucking, the character's name.
Cameron Resner: Oh, to not Dolores.
Callum Jackson: Delores.
Cameron Resner: God.
Callum Jackson: We know every name except from her fucking name. What is it?
Cameron Resner: Madam Hoosh Knight.
Callum Jackson: Madame No, no, it's not that.
Cameron Resner: Person who reads tea leaves. Tea leaves.
Callum Jackson: Are you finding out who is?
Cameron Resner: In Harry Potter.
Callum Jackson: Do you say person who reads tea leaf?
Cameron Resner: Doesn't she read tea leaves? She's like, there's the blue...
Callum Jackson: Emma Thompson. Alright, I'm finding her.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: I'm finding her.
Cameron Resner: Sybil Trelawney, that's the one. She does read the tea leaves, doesn't she?
Callum Jackson: Is the name? Yeah, she does. and
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: The Grimm.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, that's the I'm talking about.
Callum Jackson: Oh, and there's that guy, that the kid in the background. It's like trying to catch smoke. He's always there. He's brilliant. What a kid. He should he should come back.
Cameron Resner: oh
Callum Jackson: I don't know his name, but he should be a teacher.
Cameron Resner: Can't wait. Yeah, that kid. Just as the same kid. Play the kid again.
Callum Jackson: he should yeah He's just a grown adult in a uniform. They're like, it's the groom. He's like, Sirius Black, he's not trying to catch smoke with your bare hands. He's just in the background with a beard.
Cameron Resner: He's like smoking and with a beard. God.
Callum Jackson: Bring him back. Give him a proper role this time.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Make him wrong.
Cameron Resner: Oh, God. Yeah, i make him wrong. I should bring back... um
Cameron Resner: Why can't I cannot remember it? This one is a big one as well.
Callum Jackson: was that symbol?
Cameron Resner: Harry Potter's brother.
Callum Jackson: Harry Potter's brother? Who the fuck's Harry Potter's
Cameron Resner: No, his cousin that he lives with who's really Dudley.
Callum Jackson: Oh, Dudley!
Cameron Resner: Or
Callum Jackson: His brother, I was like, he don't have face. He's alone.
Cameron Resner: Dudley. Or who's that guy, one of Crabble Goyle who actually got arrested in real life?
Callum Jackson: oh
Cameron Resner: Did you bring him?
Callum Jackson: no oh which one was it? I think Crabbe got arrested.
Cameron Resner: Wasn't that from a nonsense?
Callum Jackson: Wait. No, it was from the Croydon riots.
Cameron Resner: Oh.
Cameron Resner: Oh, God. Okay, fair enough.
Callum Jackson: Yes, the Croydon rights that he took part in
Cameron Resner: He put a Death Eater mark on someone.
Callum Jackson: And now he's on um that voice thing. Cameo.
Cameron Resner: Oh, thought you meant the voice.
Callum Jackson: You can get cameos from Crab and Goyle.
Cameron Resner: Both of them? Wait, didn't they recast them there?
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Or recast the one that left?
Callum Jackson: No, he's called Blaze, isn't he?
Cameron Resner: Oh, is he?
Callum Jackson: He's a different character.

Cameron Resner: I always thought that was Crabble Goyle recast.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, so did I.

Callum Jackson: Yeah, that'll be good.
Cameron Resner: Seeing how many kids' lives they ruin.
Callum Jackson: God, no, sorry, even though there's some things I don't agree with, don't bully a fucking kid.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Actually, don't bully anyone. Don't bully an actor. They're literally paid to just do a job. Like, get out if that's what you're going to do.
Cameron Resner: Yeah,
Callum Jackson: Like, I just, and yeah, i have my opinions. We talk about it. um Everyone does. But, like, to go online, sending hate mail and death threats, fucking hell, get a life.

Callum Jackson: Uh, um, not too much. It has been my niece's birthday and I also went to see Lord Huron. I saw them last year and they were like a support act for Hosey had like sort of a day festival.
Callum Jackson: There's a few good bands there.
Cameron Resner: right Yeah, not
Callum Jackson: Um, and obviously like that was like a win-win because I didn't, ah no one of the bands but the whole day was really good but like to have Lord Huron as an opening act for Hosea I was just like yeah I'm gonna be there but then yeah seeing them as their show it was so good they uh they really do a show and like he he even said that it's like his kind of art you know like he he was like if you're gonna listen to our music please like
Cameron Resner: bad. ah bad
Callum Jackson: yeah if He goes, I don't care where you listen to because he was talking about vinyl and cassette and I don't care where you listen to goes, please just listen to it front to back. And that's actually one of the bands I really do it with.
Cameron Resner: Nice. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Long Lost, the album that came out before their latest one, um is just probably my favourite album of all time. i do Born and Raised by John Mayer is my favourite album. but i'm goingnna it's It's hard. I always go between them, but like Long Lost is just like an album that...
Callum Jackson: I love and I listened to it today.
Cameron Resner: nice
Callum Jackson: And the new album's great. um But the show that they put on, there's like a pay phone. There was a ah jukebox going off throughout the show. it just I really like their sort of style and their sort of storytelling through their music.
Callum Jackson: It's really, if you get into them, you you you'll have a good time. like You just listen to their albums back to back. There's like some weird story. And if you want to go deeper into it, they've got like a fake radio station.
Callum Jackson: It's kind of Twin Peaks vibes.
Cameron Resner: Right.
Callum Jackson: for a band yeah and they they do like weird stuff and yeah the the music video is always great and they kind of link it's it is good to like sort of get into like they obviously have the like the one-off sort of singles that are good but definitely like i do love listening to the albums like front to back
Cameron Resner: Okay. Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Hmm.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, that's quite cool. I feel like that's rarer these days, having a throughline through line through an album.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. Yeah. They... Yeah, they definitely put a lot of effort into it And the show was just really good to sort of just watch. I like to... You know, when I go to concerts, if it's like a band and they're I do like the outdoor events, but like if I go to see a band these days, like...
Callum Jackson: the if you look downstairs because I sit now because my fucking knees are old but like uh when I look down like the the crowd is not moving and this is at anything the crowd's not moving as much as you know the people that are sitting down like we were sitting next to people they were fucking dancing and I look down there and they're just sort of standing looking I'm like you guys okay
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: like Even if you don't want to dance, it's still... and i'm like how I feel like it might be a lot of like things like me and Sophie are discussing. I think like maybe people were like and know people get shy and stuff and maybe they're a bit self-conscious, but maybe they don't want to be filmed either.
Callum Jackson: There's always that. There's a million fucking phones on you.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I know.
Callum Jackson: So, yeah, I get it.
Cameron Resner: Everyone has the phone.
Callum Jackson: But, yeah, good time.
Cameron Resner: Where was that?
Callum Jackson: it was in the It was at Hammersmith. Ventum now?
Cameron Resner: Very nice. Yes.
Callum Jackson: But yeah, really, I love that venue. It's really good. The sound is really good. at it It's quite um spacious. I would say the seats need changing because my legs do not fit.
Callum Jackson: But yeah, I think um it's really good because the reason why I said why that's so good is because the fucking O2 in Brixton, which I go to quite often, because that's where...
Cameron Resner: very tight.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: my sort of bands play it's so shit in there the sound anyway the sound's fucking awful it's bad so um yeah like I remember like going just to a few bands and I can't hear what the singer's singing and it just sounds like there's all noise together and I'm like this is this is terrible so don't recommend that place
Cameron Resner: Yeah, yeah, it's bad.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: I think it's notoriously bad, but a lot of big people play now, so I don't know.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
Cameron Resner: It's kind weird.
Callum Jackson: I feel like, I don't know if it's the acoustics that fuck it up. I don't know, but the the the sound system is shit.
Cameron Resner: yeah sorted out what have I been up to um Kim and I tried playing I Am Bread which
Callum Jackson: Sort it out, please. What what about ah you? What have you been up to?
Callum Jackson: What's... Oh, yes, I do remember that. was what the fuck you playing with? Yeah.
Cameron Resner: we played it for two minutes and stopped playing yeah yeah it was yeah
Callum Jackson: Okay, good. Is that where you have like the different points of the bread that you need to move? Yeah, okay.
Cameron Resner: ah We just liked the name it, so we jumped in. Wouldn't recommend. There's
Callum Jackson: No, I think I played that years ago. I think it was part of PS Plus, wasn't it?
Cameron Resner: some games like that that are fun, like this kind of weird simi-games, like ah the Goat Simulator, I remember, was quite fun.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, and the Goose one? Untitled Goose, can think it?
Cameron Resner: Total Goose Game, yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I played that one as well. And like Power Wash Simulator is supposed to be quite good.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, Brad Platinum'd that.
Cameron Resner: What? Did he?
Callum Jackson: Brad Platinum'd it, yeah.
Cameron Resner: There's loads of different DLC packs you can get. I think there's like...
Callum Jackson: Back to the Future one.
Cameron Resner: so back to the future i was about to say Back to the Future.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, there is.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, which is kind of wild. I don't know. I was waiting for the first one just to free. Is it free? I don't know.
Callum Jackson: it was on PS Plus.
Cameron Resner: It might be. Oh, okay. Yeah, I might play that.
Callum Jackson: You might already have it.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, i probably do.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: um But I've been playing that. And then we played... We finished It Takes Two, which was...
Callum Jackson: Yeah, I think I saw you play that. i was going to ask, have you finished it yet? Yeah, it's good, isn't it?
Cameron Resner: Yeah, we finished that one. It was very good, yeah. yeah We enjoyed that. Good story. Good gameplay.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Kim doesn't play many games, but she was... Yeah, she could do most of it, which was good. and She kept being given things that were like involved a lot of aiming, which was...
Callum Jackson: Yes, which is funny because you said that she chose the guy, right?
Cameron Resner: But she did, yeah.
Cameron Resner: She did, yeah. She just...
Callum Jackson: Yeah. Which like I feel like the developers went, make the guy the one with the aiming and the woman the one to hit things.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: And then like you guys switch around and especially, like ah obviously, like you said, she doesn't play games. So yeah, to have her be the one that aims, I'd have been like, okay, now let's just but just switch the controller around.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: let me Let me help.
Cameron Resner: Yes, yes, exactly. ah So, yeah, I mean, it's a bit of a bit of bit of learning curve there that we got there.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: And then we started playing Split Fiction after that, which was also very good.
Callum Jackson: Nice. Yeah, we haven't started that yet, but we have been meaning to.
Cameron Resner: ah
Cameron Resner: So, yeah, I do want to I definitely do want to go back and play No Way Out.
Callum Jackson: Oh, yeah.
Cameron Resner: I do finish that.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, yeah.
Cameron Resner: Maybe get to the same point we got to last time.
Callum Jackson: What will we restart and then...
Cameron Resner: No, I do want to play It was very good.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, no, that one is good. I do like the story in that as well.
Cameron Resner: I think you'll like Split Fiction.
Callum Jackson: um
Cameron Resner: It's got some very cool ideas in it.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yep.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, I'm looking forward to trying it. It's just, um I think when, because Brad did actually let me borrow it um and we just haven't ah started it yet. But I think it's because we just finished It Takes Two and um and we wanted a break.
Callum Jackson: And we it's not like we'd stopped playing games. We went on to Alan Wake and then a bit of Alien Isolation. We're playing them. We haven't played in like a few weeks, but we have started that.
Cameron Resner: Yeah,
Callum Jackson: So, yeah.
Cameron Resner: yeah I think because we came we like played half of It Takes Two like six months ago and then just came back to it. So we only, yeah, we didn't play like a full game before going into it again.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, that's
Cameron Resner: But that's that's been good fun.
Callum Jackson: good.
Cameron Resner: Other than that, nothing nothing of significance.
Callum Jackson: Well, that's good then.
Cameron Resner: Hmm.
Callum Jackson: A nice restful weekend.
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Callum Jackson: Have you played, because I just mentioned, have you played Alien Isolation?
Cameron Resner: No.
Callum Jackson: Oh, God. Do you care about Alien at all? like Would you be interested
Cameron Resner: um I would like to be. i do. i want to um want to watch the TV show because apparently that's very good.
Callum Jackson: I stopped it.
Cameron Resner: And I do. Did you stop it?
Callum Jackson: It was so shit.
Cameron Resner: Was it...
Callum Jackson: It was so bad. I mean, I have said heard that it's good. um My other friend also started it and we haven't spoke since about it when I went, I didn't like it. And she was like, oh, I quite liked it.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I think I saw someone say it was like the best alien thing in forever.
Callum Jackson: They haven't seen Romulus then, have they? But...
Cameron Resner: I mean, yeah
Callum Jackson: No, that comes that sorry that comes down to things that should be movies and not TV shows. it It feels TV-y and Alien has always been like that very quality-feeling movie experience.
Cameron Resner: yeah. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: And I think Star Wars should also be stuck to movies, not TV.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: But what do I know? Just things I enjoy. What the fuck do I know?
Callum Jackson: But yeah, no, I honestly, me and Soph gave it, we watched episode one and I was like, we both went, I don't know how I feel about that.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: And then we were we went, I think we watched, then we waited like, cause I know one and two came back to back and I did see online that people were like, oh, one and two are like really good together.
Callum Jackson: um If I just watched one, I would have been disappointed. and i was like, okay, but we were tired. So we just watched one. Following week, we watched two and three together.
Cameron Resner: Okay. Hmm.
Callum Jackson: And then, so I gave it three episodes and I just went, no, and I don't care. I'm not feeling this at all. I didn't care about the characters. I didn't like the story. I didn't like the weird cuts and the rock music at the end of the episode. It was just, yeah, didn't like it. And know I also have like a sort of thing in my head of like,
Callum Jackson: just how it should look. And then it was like the TV show and I was seeing all these new things. It's fine. and If like, again, if people like it, you know, it's made now. It doesn't fucking matter, does it?
Callum Jackson: but um Yeah, I just, ah yeah, it wasn't for me. um I'm waiting to see what the sort of reception is after it all. Cause think there's one episode left.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Okay.
Callum Jackson: But I just, i I think what happened this year, me and Soph loved Twin Peaks season one.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. We loved it so much. but So then season two wasn't bad. So it like, but then it wrapped up the story halfway into season two of like this whole who killed Laura Palmer sort thing. Yeah.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: so we loved that and then fucking past that point it felt like they didn't know what the fuck to do because I did hear that this the studio forced them to tell the audience who killed Laura Palmer and then they went into a different story and then I fucking didn't like the rest of the season I didn't like the movie and then I fucking hated the new season the revival one
Cameron Resner: Okay, yeah.
Callum Jackson: like with a passion.
Cameron Resner: Okay.
Callum Jackson: When I got to the end, we watched it all. When I got to the end, I was, I had anger in me.
Cameron Resner: Okay.
Callum Jackson: I was like, what the fuck just happened? What did we watch? And I haven't reflected yet and gone, oh no, I see his point.
Cameron Resner: hang
Callum Jackson: No, you wasted my fucking time. And I know that there's people online that are like, oh, he does no wrong. And like, probably to you, I'm glad you like it. But I saw fucking pretentious people be like,
Callum Jackson: Oh yeah. A lot of people so jumped out. Episode eight is load a load of shit. And people were like, Oh yeah, i feel sorry for people that didn't understand it.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: And I'm like, it was an hour of noise. It was a fucking hour of static noise on my TV and and weird fucking explosions and cockroaches.
Callum Jackson: It was shit. Don't give me... It was amazing. you could ah It was fine. He has a weird vision, which I do enjoy, not to that extent.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: They were just like, yeah, fuck it. Let him do what he wants. So um don't want to get too deep into it, but ah my point is...
Cameron Resner: the
Callum Jackson: Because of that and how much I endured for something that I loved so much in the start.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: And then when I got to the end, I was like, that was torture. After three episodes of Alien F, I'm like, I'm not coming back. was just like, I have better things to watch and do.
Cameron Resner: That's very fair.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I mean, I doubt I will actually watch it.
Callum Jackson: And that's, yeah.
Cameron Resner: ah just I just had heard it was good, but...
Callum Jackson: Yeah. The reason why I said that is because um because I said Alien Isolation.
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Callum Jackson: um
Cameron Resner: yes
Callum Jackson: And I'm not kidding you. I forgot how scary that game was. Yeah. like I'm playing it, and i and so so like you don't get scared by things. and But playing that game, I'm like, this alien's put me on fucking edge. Because it's not a zombie or someone that walks slow at me.
Callum Jackson: It will drop down and be like, oh, you're there. Okay, I'm coming. And it's the speed. I feel like it might be like paintball or airsoft, though. like you You wait for get to get shot.
Callum Jackson: And then when you get shot, you're like, oh, no, that's all right. I can deal with it.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, but the anticipation's worse than the...
Callum Jackson: But yeah, yeah, waiting for it to come.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: I'm like, it could be around the corner.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: It could be in the fucking ceiling. So yeah, no, I was just going to, if you, if you want fear, I recommend that game.
Cameron Resner: Hmm.
Callum Jackson: That game is still the, the atmosphere on it and the ship and the creaking. It's perfect. If there was a PS5 update, it'd be great because it runs at like 30. It's not 60 FPS or anything.
Callum Jackson: Looks a bit dated, but you know, still, still holds up in atmosphere and that.
Cameron Resner: and
Callum Jackson: So do recommend.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, like that. Yeah, I do i do quite like that kind of game. um First class trouble it
Callum Jackson: yeah
Cameron Resner: is all the anticipation I can take in a game. The fear in that.
Callum Jackson: Are you going to get the Halloween game? I know it's not. that It's like first class. It'll be like Friday.
Cameron Resner: it this year?
Callum Jackson: ah No, I think it's next year.
Cameron Resner: Okay. Yeah, probably.
Callum Jackson: Thank fuck. If it's this year, no. No, it's too much.
Cameron Resner: ah Yeah, next year.
Callum Jackson: But um yeah, I'm looking forward to that because Friday was the best sort of game like that.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: um And then obviously, yeah, first class was great.
Callum Jackson: But bring it back.
Cameron Resner: Bring it back.
Callum Jackson: Let's do a session now. um But yeah, no i just I recommend that if you wanted a ah spooky time over October or something. is It's quite what good.
Cameron Resner: I'll take a look.
Callum Jackson: It's quite cool.
Cameron Resner: Quite cool.
Callum Jackson: Right then, so did you want to speak about... Right, so we did...
Cameron Resner: Yes, the BFU.
Callum Jackson: God, yeah.
Callum Jackson: right so we did yeah
Cameron Resner: We did.
Callum Jackson: Sorry. Sorry. Let the beat rock.
Cameron Resner: You're absorbing this.
Callum Jackson: God.
Cameron Resner: Gotta wait a moment actually.
Cameron Resner: no
Callum Jackson: That tease.
Cameron Resner: yes I was listening to all of them in a video and this is the Battle for 4 one.
Callum Jackson: This is Battlefield 4. Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: ah I do remember the dubsteppy bit. don't remember the dubsteppy bit. just remember Richard absolutely coming.
Callum Jackson: It came for him.
Cameron Resner: Oh, there we go. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Can't be here all day listening to me.
Cameron Resner: Okay.
Callum Jackson: No, no, hold on. Let it cook.
Cameron Resner: Or was that you beatboxing? I don't know. How
Callum Jackson: That was just me beatboxing. But right, yeah, Battlefield 6.
Cameron Resner: are you feeling?
Callum Jackson: Not too long. it says I'm just on Steam now. Approximately two weeks.
Cameron Resner: 10th of October.
Callum Jackson: So, yeah, October 10th.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: um How am I feeling?
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: I'm feeling good. in and and and um Yeah, no, i think that it's a yeah now it looks good. I mean, I played it, so it is good.
Cameron Resner: you
Callum Jackson: i There's some things that I would tweak, ah mainly ah weapons. And I was actually speaking to Richard about this, and we think that guns should be class-locked.
Callum Jackson: class lock
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Callum Jackson: I'm going to go for that because there's nothing worse than a sniper who has a spawn beacon and some C4 and he's just round the back of your your base and then he comes round with a machine gun.
Cameron Resner: ah Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. I think I saw something that that was maybe being added as part of like the server...
Callum Jackson: No, it already is.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, oh okay.
Callum Jackson: that There's a conquest locked thing. I can't remember but ah can't remember what it's called, but it was like class-based, and you can play that.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I thought was already... Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: So you can, but I think just eliminate the different servers and just have it as the game.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: I think it should be class locked, because if I wanted to be a sniper, I can literally be an assault now with a shotgun and put on a sniper rifle. it just it It feels weird to me.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: I feel like the Battlefield needs to be Battlefield.
Cameron Resner: I thought...
Cameron Resner: I hope with the server select stuff and the portal things though, I think hopefully if the game is does well and is big, then I don't think you're going to have trouble finding those games.
Callum Jackson: No, no, no. I think like even Portal, like, did you see this? It reminded me of um like Halo Forge. Did you see some of the shit you can do on it?
Cameron Resner: Yeah. right
Callum Jackson: Like where you're running up the ramp and the cars are rolling down and vehicles that explode.
Cameron Resner: I think I can sort courses and stuff.
Callum Jackson: I was like, that's Forge.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, i was like, yeah, I can't wait to play.
Cameron Resner: No, it looks crazy.
Callum Jackson: Because there's some of the funnest stuff that when we were younger on these sort of games was going on like Halo Forge and playing the the custom maps that people have uploaded.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: Like, do you remember the zombie one that we used to play on Halo 3?
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, they were great. And to have that in Battlefield again, not again, like i mean, like to have that sort of game again and it's in Battlefield.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yes. But also, you can take it more serious as well. like You can do like a hardcore one-shot kill.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: kind of mode, which is which is cool.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: It's just that I think the variety that it's going to bring is awesome. Because it's kind of like, and it hopefully I mean that those things are always there.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, I'm just... Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Because you know, like with COD and stuff, you kind of get modes that come in and then disappear.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Like hardcore mode. I mean, hardcore mode was always there, but now it's not in new games.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, like they made it tier one and then back to hardcore and yeah, it got confusing and then it felt different between literally one COD entry, didn't I remember that.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: We were like, oh, because on Modern Warfare we played um just hardcore, I remember, ah because it felt right or it was tier one mode or something and then
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: in um the Modern Warfare 2 they brought in Tier 1 mode or whatever one they were calling it.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, it was different.
Callum Jackson: And it was different and we were just like, I'll just play the base game.
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Callum Jackson: know happened there. But I'm even, I'm looking at the Steam page and it's showing the Portal mode and it's literally like, you know, like Forge where you used to stand on a hill and all the vehicles would fly at you.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Do you remember playing something like that?
Cameron Resner: yeah Yeah, yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, and I'm looking at a picture.
Cameron Resner: That's what I was about to mention earlier.
Callum Jackson: yeah
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: and it's, yeah, it's so good.
Cameron Resner: Maybe when ramp and they're falling down at you.
Callum Jackson: Can't wait for that.
Cameron Resner: Because other people could throw stuff down at you, couldn't they?
Callum Jackson: Yes, yeah, they like destroyed cars to throw at you. I think it's great though because Portal was a really good idea and probably the only good idea that they had for 2042.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: And like, yeah, I'm glad that they didn't just drop it because it was so it is a really good idea.
Cameron Resner: I don't think the game was big enough to support it. I was
Callum Jackson: And yeah, to not, you know, they didn't...
Cameron Resner: Yeah. they going have all the same games in it? I haven't seen anything about what games you'll be able to pull stuff.
Callum Jackson: Oh, I don't know about that. I feel like it's more customizing what like you want to do and also making your own sort of maps.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: um As far as the other things, I feel like they will add it down the line, but i feel like if it's in the player's hand, like the creator on like the player that's going to make it, I feel like they'll just add in World War II maps and stuff like that.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: I don't think they're going to limit it, but
Cameron Resner: I was thinking like guns and stuff like that.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, that's what was thinking. Yeah, they probably will. I think they, you know, if Battle for Six is big enough, I'm sure it'll get the support. If it's not, then obviously it's not.
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Callum Jackson: But at the moment, I'm going to say that it's going to kick fucking Cod's teeth in. this year. ah just I just watched the, before we actually started speaking, I watched the, I didn't even finish it and I was, i was just, I'm more entertained by the comments um on any COD video.
Callum Jackson: I just think the new one just doesn't look any good at all. And there was the multi-player reveal today, like the gameplay and I was just like, okay, I don't care.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, no, it doesn't, yeah. It's just kind of more of the same.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. Of the ones that I didn't like, sorry, as well.
Cameron Resner: But, don't know.
Cameron Resner: I always find a way to bring it back at some point.
Callum Jackson: They do. Everyone does. I mean, Battlefield's doing it now.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: So...
Cameron Resner: Just, God, you have to go through year and year after off-shitter.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. Yeah. I have faith that they'll bring it back. they they They succeeded with 2019.
Cameron Resner: Oh, yeah, for sure.
Callum Jackson: I love that.
Cameron Resner: Go back to modern warfare again.
Callum Jackson: like That's probably one of my favourite CODs.
Cameron Resner: Oh, yeah. No, that was the size was awesome.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: um
Callum Jackson: And they brought in Warzone, which was great when they started that.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, and how are you feeling about Battle Royale mode in the battlefield?
Callum Jackson: Good times.
Callum Jackson: I just don't care for Battle Royale modes.
Cameron Resner: Hmm.
Callum Jackson: in anything it's not even a it's not even a personal hate towards warzone I just don't like I like being a squad like I do love that but i feel like battlefield gives you that but you're all fighting for the same objective and if I die I can ah come back in I guess that's me being kind of impatient but you know like there's nothing worse than us sort of sitting together and then one of us dies and then the other's playing and I'm just kind of looking at my phone you know waiting to play so Warzone is not and also it's like a skill level I'm just not good enough for for it like that what I see people can do on COD I'm just not willing to sort of sweat over it um but yeah no no no battle royale for me to be honest what about you
Cameron Resner: yeah
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Cameron Resner: oh Yeah, i mean I'm interested to see if they add anything new to it. I've seen like things like when youre when you get caught by the fire, you're just like instantly dead and things like that.
Callum Jackson: Right.
Cameron Resner: Little changes.
Callum Jackson: That would be fun.
Cameron Resner: I wonder if they can make it so... Because I think COD did eventually bring in ways... I mean, you have the resurrection mode, but and then in the big one you could bring people back and people would come back more often.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: I think that...
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Could be good. But yeah, I'm not really down for just ah if it's just like standard boy yeah battle royale, then no.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, they need to do something different. I mean, like, because Fortnite and COD.
Cameron Resner: Resurrection was fun. Oh, God.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, Fortnite and COD already have it covered. Like, if I want to play Battle Royale, like, I don't even I don't hate either of them.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Just if I wanted to play Battle Royale, I would honestly just go on those.
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Callum Jackson: I think it's the same with, like, extraction shooters. I think there would be one. I really enjoyed the DMZ mode in COD, but they went, yeah, it's not doing well enough. So goodbye. But I haven't found one that's kind of as cool as the one in COD.
Callum Jackson: I like quite enjoyed it.
Cameron Resner: No? Yeah, I think that one's been the best of one.
Callum Jackson: yeah Like the helicopter comes down and then you actually physically get in the helicopter.
Cameron Resner: Hmm.
Callum Jackson: And then you can shoot out of it. like that That sort of gameplay. I think, oh yeah, Modern Warfare 2 was cool actually. do you remember like the helicopters in the ground war mode?
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: You could jump in the back while it was flying.
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Callum Jackson: They should have stuck to it. They just kind of gave up.
Cameron Resner: That's the kind of thing I think Battlefield can... lean towards and make cool, especially if there's like some destruction and stuff.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: That could be cool.
Callum Jackson: So it was, yeah, again, um it did feel like... I don't know. To me, it felt like a from the bit that I did play from the beaters, I feel like it was the perfect Battlefield.
Callum Jackson: Like, trying to get you back.
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Callum Jackson: They were doing everything right for me. I think the only thing I would say, which they've teased that there is some, so I'm not like... I'm cautious, but the bigger maps don't seem to be here as much as the older games.
Callum Jackson: So there isn't like that sort of time to breathe on a conquest map. It feels like it's always, you're always in the action.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: And that might be on purpose, but I did like the moments where you'd capture something. And then let's just say that in conquest, the middle area is always fucked.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: I didn't feel that in the beta.
Cameron Resner: I did hear that about the beta, but I also, I think I saw a video afterwards where people have played couple of other maps and they are a lot bigger.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: But I think there's Firestorm and one that almost sits like it's but it looks a bit like Battlefield 1 kind of a setting.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: But apparently that's huge.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, no, I'm looking forward to it I think they can do it.
Cameron Resner: So hopefully that's...
Callum Jackson: and But no, it's good because just being...
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Callum Jackson: and and it's never Yeah, that's just right. It's never been in a battlefield or ah ah game that i can think of, but it's so seamless now to grab your squad mate that's down and revive them.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. I've been saying that for like 15 years.
Callum Jackson: We've, since we've gamed, we've been saying, it's like, oh yeah, we can revive our mates.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: How cool would it be if we could drag each other or pick each other up and then revive and cover?
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: I don't know how that, I mean, the only other game I can think of is Ghost Recon, what's the name, Breakpoint.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: And that was so janky in its movement of picking someone up that you might as well have just revive them on the spot.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, yeah, it was awful.
Callum Jackson: remember that when you had to hold square?
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: But then you would be... After you hold square, you're then in an animation of picking up your mate.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Yeah. do
Callum Jackson: And then you couldn't even run with them. And I was like, so I might as well revive them on the spot. So yeah, but this game, honestly... So you press it once or you hold it, whatever it is. I can't fully remember that, but it's either press square, hold square.
Callum Jackson: And you grab your mate straight away. And as you're doing it, it's auto-reviving them.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: So it's just one seamless button. You just crawl away and you can do it laying down or crouching or standing up and then you can sort of drag them away. And I'm like, that's perfect.
Cameron Resner: It's very groovy. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Like that, that should have been in it anyway. And so moments like that, it's really cool to do.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: um Yeah. So I do like that. I would say like, I'll maybe add a pistol, but I feel like that'd be unbalanced.
Cameron Resner: Ambicting.
Callum Jackson: So keep that out, but it would look cool.
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Callum Jackson: That's all I'm thinking, but.
Cameron Resner: No, yeah, from what I've seen, that looks very... It looks smooth. It looks like yeah it's like a good tactical thing to pull out.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. It was a good...
Cameron Resner: What do you think of... There's no double sprinters there?
Callum Jackson: No.
Cameron Resner: No.
Callum Jackson: No, and I like that.
Cameron Resner: very Although I can't play a game now without just double tapping my stick all the time.
Callum Jackson: No, I agree. I did that too.
Cameron Resner: Literally all the time.
Callum Jackson: um I would say that I'm out of that now, though, because I play the finals a lot.
Cameron Resner: But now I agree. Yeah, I think...
Callum Jackson: But...
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: um
Cameron Resner: think
Callum Jackson: Yeah. No, when I played the Battlefield, because even Battlefield tried to do it, I was double tapping in the Vita a lot. I was like, hold on.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I think Battlefield was where was maybe worst because I think it was just like you could just always double sprint and I don't think it had any and limitation.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. No. There was no penalty.
Cameron Resner: Whereas in Cobb, I think when it first came out, it did have a penalty, I remember.
Callum Jackson: No.
Cameron Resner: But then everyone was like, let's just add it in for everything.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, and you couldn't do it all the time as well. Like, you stopped.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: um But no, I think... No, I agree with you. I actually like the double sprint. I think in this game... I don't know if it suits Battlefield. I feel like, you know, having everyone on the even playing field...
Cameron Resner: No, i agree.
Callum Jackson: I even know that they're going to do some balances to movement. So it's...
Cameron Resner: right
Callum Jackson: They're trying to get... ah What sounds good to me is they're trying to get away from that sort of twitchy movement of COD.
Cameron Resner: yeah like jumping around yeah you can dive and shoot and think when you land i think you have a period where you can't shoot immediately which is good because in cod that gets insane
Callum Jackson: And that's good. I think like you can't like you can slide and shoot and you can dive but it's nowhere near like COD. No. Yeah. It's nothing like.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. Like COD's movement like on on the online is fine. Like I ah did like it but when they added it to Warzone the Omni movement that's when I was out because I was like I don't know.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, looks and
Callum Jackson: I can't predict you.
Cameron Resner: yeah you just go any direction at any point.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. It's crazy. It's just fun.
Cameron Resner: Definitely not boots on the ground.
Callum Jackson: It's not. It's not. And now they're adding wall running and jumping. God. Fun way.
Cameron Resner: I didn't realize wall running was back in it.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, no and unless it's a jump off the wall. However they'd done it in the trailer, they were definitely they were on the ground, on a wall, off the wall.
Cameron Resner: back to Black Ops 3.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, no, it's it is there. I'm telling you now, like, um' and unless it it could be a hop off the wall, but regardless, they're still jumping towards the wall and then going to somewhere else from the wall.
Cameron Resner: God, it's insane. It's insane how they just keep going back. They need to stop releasing things yearly. And they're just focused.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, they do.
Cameron Resner: As we said with Modern Warfare, I don't know. like should It should have just been that for a few years.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, I think as well, like the expansions people wouldn't mind if you were spending 40 quid, 30 quid, maybe on, like, the new one.
Cameron Resner: With Apple.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: like But you can tell that they're not even able to keep up because they're making Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 3, now Black Ops 6, Black Ops 7.
Cameron Resner: And then black.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: So they're not keeping up.
Cameron Resner: It's not good.
Callum Jackson: No.
Cameron Resner: and And what do you think of the destruction and how it compares to stuff like the finals?
Callum Jackson: Okay, so, yeah, I'm actually glad you mentioned this. So, I think playing the beta, and it's definitely there, the destruction, but I would say it's more there for flavour and flair of the game.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: It's there to look cool. It doesn't really serve a purpose, but it is cool. So, don't get me wrong, it looks great. Like, it probably looks the best it's looked, and...
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: is the best it's been but it's not really it doesn't do anything if it if it wasn't in there you would be feeling like it's more COD um so I'm glad it is there because that is sort of Battlefield's thing but it like because you said the finals that's what I'm going relate it to the finals actually makes you think how can I change the map for my advantage where yeah where Battlefield even the new one it just it's not there
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Cameron Resner: yeah Yeah, use it as a tactical decision.
Callum Jackson: It's just like, it looks fucking cool. And it is fucking cool. It's like a Michael Bay movie.
Cameron Resner: I've seen things where people are going through like floors and stuff and bringing those down in terms of buildings.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, I saw that, but i've never, and when I was playing it, it didn't happen. But I didn't, you didn't have the full thing.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, you didn't have like the sledgehammer in the bigger, unless I just didn't get it.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: But yeah, you didn't have stuff like that. So I'm sure there is going to be things where it's like, oh, there's a wall here. Let's go through it. But the difference is, the finals is, literally, there's a wall here. Let's go through it.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, so a bit more like bad company essentially.
Callum Jackson: yeah where Yeah, where this, I didn't feel that. in In all the maps I played, I did not feel, oh, there's a wall here, let's put a C4 on it.
Cameron Resner: and
Callum Jackson: I felt like I couldn't do that, which is weird because there is destruction.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I do find it interesting. Because like every time a Battlefield game comes out with destruction, but like is that really Battlefield, or is that just Bad Company, really?
Callum Jackson: Yeah, no, agree. I think the Battlefield 4...
Cameron Resner: We get Bad Company, and everyone was like, where's the destruction in every game?
Callum Jackson: yeah Yeah, I think Bad Company said... And I think the finals, I don't...
Cameron Resner: Bad Company had much simpler maps, right? There was like huts and small buildings.
Callum Jackson: Yes, they did, yeah.
Callum Jackson: But I do think that's the company that made the new...
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: That embark, the people that make the finals.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, they're from that.
Callum Jackson: And I think that's the Bad Company lot.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: So thank fuck, because the finals is good.
Cameron Resner: Which is crazy.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: and It's good to have that as well.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. Like even with, I loved the the Battlefield beer and I will be, you know, that will be my October game, you know, probably November. I'm not going to, I don't know yet, but I did really like it. I'm definitely getting it. um I will wait though. i will buy it on the day.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: I'm still, du i'm I'm just letting them know. i don't, I haven't forgiven them yet.
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Callum Jackson: for 2042 and other stuff that they've done so yeah I will probably get on the day but I'm not gonna pre-order anything but even with this new game and it looks great I'm still gonna play the finals I know I will I've sunk a lot of hours into that and it's kind of nice to find a game what was that yeah
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Cameron Resner: I think that will give a bit of a different vibe, I think. It's bit more fast-paced. it has it's It's kind of interesting because it has got that kind of cod twitchy movement.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Not diving, but people... like You see a light player on that, and they're flipping around the map, but it feels good.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. I think because there's a counter to it, and I know I can counter it, is what um gets me.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. They're a lot weaker. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Because, like, yeah, i again, it is a skill issue as well. I just can't play COD anymore. ah But um I think it's because i put I've been playing finals, like... I would say almost daily, all year.
Callum Jackson: ah so I've put a lot of time into it and I think like I've just got used to it now. And, you know, we started playing ranked and stuff, but yeah, no, there's some, there is some real twitchy people and like how people can throw a goo grenade down and how they can get away from you.
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Callum Jackson: There is tons of it and there's loads of shit. They, not even COD has it, like where you can go invisible and you can see through.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Grapple hooking.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, there's, there's so much shit that you're just like fucking hell.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: But feel like there is a counter to all of that.
Cameron Resner: Oh, yeah yeah, definitely there is.
Callum Jackson: So, you know, having...
Cameron Resner: I mean, a light character will die in a couple of things.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, a few shots. Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. I think I'm going to try Battlefield. I think I'm going to go in trying to play as a sniper for a little bit.
Callum Jackson: Yes.
Cameron Resner: I want to see if I can, because the finals was the first game where I'd tried the sniper and actually felt like I got reasonably good at it and I wanted to attack wall.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. I mean... Do you know what's funny?
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: With you saying sniper, me and Todd were like, oh yeah, Cameron should try you know a different gun. Like when you came off.
Cameron Resner: I mean, I did play with that.
Callum Jackson: No, no, no. But then you came back and got 26 kills in a round with a sniper and were like, oh no, okay.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: No, just say it's the sniper. I don't think I've ever seen 26 kills. It was fucking insane. Like just, yeah. And some of the shots you were pulling off were disgusting.
Cameron Resner: I mean, I don't know what it is. if It's just just so tight, and you can just pick.
Callum Jackson: It is good.
Cameron Resner: It's like Quickscoper's dream.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, it is a good, uh, yeah, good, good sniper rifle.
Cameron Resner: I remember battlefield sniping, like when you do get that headshot and that noise.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, especially Battlefield 4.
Cameron Resner: It's like, battlefield one. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Oh yeah, no, bow no, you're right, Battlefield 1. That was every kill was, set is this that was the one with the, oh no, that's Battlefield 5 as well, when the skulls popped up, I really like.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Because that was all about headshots. Yeah. Yeah. yeah
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: And you add a lot of those like one-shot rifles, where if you got a headshot...
Callum Jackson: Yeah. Yeah, there was like that AT rifle as well, which like loaded one bullet.
Cameron Resner: Yes. Yes.
Callum Jackson: And yeah, that was really good. Yeah, was that that was a good, good fucking gun. The the sniping on that game was great. But I think Battlefield 1 was really good in general because even like all the guns sort of suited each other. Even like the assault had like the single shotguns.
Callum Jackson: you know, semi, semi.
Cameron Resner: yes
Callum Jackson: So yeah, I really liked those ones as well. Like I would often choose the gun where you load in the five clips, like the five rounds at a time.
Cameron Resner: ah Okay, yeah, yeah.
Callum Jackson: Cause I was just like, this looks so cool. And at the sound of it when you do get a kill is satisfying. Yeah. Bring that back.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, there's a lot I'm very excited for.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, I do think they're on the the right path and definitely modern and it's all... This is truly boots on the ground.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: I do feel like there is like some things that they could tighten up um to make it the perfect battlefield but it's definitely on the right path. Like... ah like
Cameron Resner: What do you think they could...
Callum Jackson: Oh yeah, i was going to say, so the the things i feel that feel like they could ah change up is the guns. ah The gunplay's good. I would say it's been better in Battlefield V and 1 still.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Okay.
Callum Jackson: I think, like the like you said, like the satisfaction of of getting the kill... it wasn't here as much as it was in those games. I don't know if it was the sounds or something, but I wasn't, yeah, the impact and it's just fucking perfect in those games.
Cameron Resner: Not as impactful.
Callum Jackson: And then i would say, so going on from that is the guns that it feels very much like, why the fuck would I use this gun that's weaker when this one's clearly better?
Callum Jackson: And i I don't like that.
Cameron Resner: I know what you mean.
Callum Jackson: I like more of a I'm using this gun because I'm good with this gun.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: But it's not the case in this game. It really wasn't. Like once you unlock the gun that I can't remember what is now, but it kind of looked like an AK. There was also a carbine gun. That was the one that i used. But when I unlocked the carbine, it was like an M4 sort of carbine.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: and There was no point in using anything else. Like as an assault rifle.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: It was just, I would win anything.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I feel like COD always starts with a balance, and then when they add in all the new guns, that's when you just like, you just play with this gun now.
Callum Jackson: Even if I... Then there's... Yeah.
Cameron Resner: I think it's hard.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, and now it becomes boring because of that.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. hope that
Callum Jackson: you know I just felt like there was no need to use anything.
Cameron Resner: Hopefully they can balance that. Yeah, you want to have different reasons for using different different guns. Or you want to be able to customize a worse gun to be as good as a newer gun, I guess.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, and I didn't, that I just feel like that's never really been Battlefield. I feel like Battlefield's like, oh, you enjoy this gun, you're good with this gun, you can make it work for you.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Where this game, um we were playing, me, ah Brad and Richard were playing, and and I was adamant, I was like, no, I want i want to use the M4, or there was the ACR sort of gun, the starting gun.
Callum Jackson: and they were And they just went on to this AK. I can't remember the guns, but I was like using an M4. They were using an AK. And they were like they were tearing for everyone, and I just couldn't get a kill.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: And I was just like, oh, my God. And then I changed to and went, okay, I guess I have to use this gun. So, yeah, it definitely felt like that.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, it's disappointing.
Cameron Resner: That's things they can change, though, hopefully.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, definitely. And that's why, you know, there is beaters. So hopefully that's sort of a thing that people put in. But yeah, I'm glad. I mean, is it's actually surprised me how quick I know, like, when was 2042?
Callum Jackson: Was that 21 or something? I can't remember when that came out.
Cameron Resner: 21, yeah, I think so.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, but it feels quick, this turnaround of this game in a weird way.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Like, I'm like, oh, Battlefield 6 is here with a campaign.
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, no, it it does feel like just feel quick, even though it hasn't been quick. I mean, when to Battlefield 5 come out? 2018.
Callum Jackson: yeah
Cameron Resner: Three years. So yeah, it's been longer than um go that, which is just crazy.
Callum Jackson: yeah and when this episode goes up it will actually be two weeks till this game comes out yeah and I mean I'm sure that week well not the week of it so the following week because we'll we'll do an episode will we will pick up on what our thoughts are of that week of playing Battlefield I'm sure
Cameron Resner: Very, very exciting indeed.
Cameron Resner: Definitely, I think so.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, but I think, I mean, i i especially with you, like i this is the thing with Battlefield, and I think why it stuck with me, and I have these memories on COD, obviously. We all play them. But Battlefield, that was like the game that me and you sort of stopped getting COD yearly, and we picked up Bad Company for cheap.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Do remember that? And it was like, there was that, I can't remember, the harbour map, the desert-y one.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. I know exactly what you mean.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, and we loved that.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, way we started playing it in Portal, didn't we, in 2042?
Callum Jackson: And you were the sniper then. Yes.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: yes Yeah, it was just...
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, so then... And then I remember Richard getting Battlefield 3 on PS3 and he put like 18 days into it. And being a kid, that's a lot and stuff.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: And yeah, like there's been so many memories with Battlefield. And then obviously the PS4 came out and then we all bought Battlefield 4 when it came out.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yes, that was, yeah, that was great.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. and there And then at the perfect time, because it was infinite warfare and no one wanted to play it, everyone jumped on Battlefield 1.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I remember.
Callum Jackson: So it has been with us. Battlefield's definitely, you know, carried on being with us. And we even bought the shit launches too, so...
Cameron Resner: most
Cameron Resner: We did. have dedicated ourselves to it.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, so, yeah, I'm looking forward to it. And it does give you that sort of... They give you those yearly... and Not yearly releases, sorry. you know They give you a break and you can enjoy a game for a few years.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, you can get into it, get good
Callum Jackson: Yeah, and, you know, like, old CODs, I would say I do actually go back to and, like, have a little fuck around and play the campaigns.
Cameron Resner: um
Callum Jackson: But newer CODs have made it so hard to jump back into and play a few rounds that you just don't bother...
Cameron Resner: at it. um mr be So much, yeah, such big files and stuff and just, yeah, playing.
Callum Jackson: yeah
Callum Jackson: ah I installed 2019 and I played the online for a bit and I was like this is great but the install to get there and how long and the packs and the HD texture packs and the upgrades was like fuck off yeah just
Cameron Resner: I know, it's confusing as fuck. Just have one download.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, just one download. And then also make it clear. Like if you're going do the COD HQ, just make it clear that you can separately do everything and you don't need texture packs and fucking...
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: just, yeah, it gets silly. And it's too big. Like it takes up so much storage that I just can't even bother to have it installed.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, no, it's horrendous.
Callum Jackson: where I think Battlefield's going to be 85 gigabyte ahead, and you can choose to have online and campaign installed. So it's going to go down 50-something gigabyte for online.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: So just do that pretty much. But I'm looking forward to it, and i'm I'm looking forward to the campaign as well. But yeah, I'm definitely there for the online, to be honest.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, no, I'm very keen for it. I think the campaign could be interesting as well.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, it does look interesting.
Cameron Resner: Interesting to play that.
Callum Jackson: I do like the sort of Assault on New York looking mission.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, that's what I'm interested about, is just having... ah kind of missions based in America. So that's what it was called about Modern Warfare.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Is it Modern Warfare 2? When you're in America and you're going...
Callum Jackson: What, the the original ones?
Cameron Resner: Yeah, the original one.
Callum Jackson: I think Modern Warfare 3 opened in New York.
Cameron Resner: ready Right, yeah. And you, I think, go to the White House at some point or something.
Callum Jackson: i think that I think that one's Modern Warfare 2.
Cameron Resner: Right, okay, yeah.
Callum Jackson: But I remember the Manhattan mission in Modern Warfare.
Cameron Resner: I like the ship. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, there's something about the campaigns and even the maps that are on streets that you're familiar with that just feels a bit weird, but also cool.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: It's like Modern Warfare. Do you remember the Piccadilly map?
Cameron Resner: Another good one. Yeah, I was about to say that one. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. Yeah. that was fun because you know obviously we don't want that shit to happen in real life but when you walk through that street and that's like your home ah you're like oh shit i'm I'm basically playing fake like action hero on where I live so yeah I do like stuff like that yeah yeah
Cameron Resner: Yeah. you know
Cameron Resner: yeah Yeah, it makes it more real. It's not just another desert.
Cameron Resner: Because I think, yeah, a lot of these kind of games can fall into the trap of just having boring maps.
Callum Jackson: yeah
Cameron Resner: And so adding in places you know adds a lot to it I think.
Callum Jackson: I do think that's why they also added like those American-type maps to be like, oh, we've got like we got the desert, we've got you know some snow matter yeah there's snowy mountains sort of map, um you know streets of New York, and then I can't remember.
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Cameron Resner: Is there a snow map? Oh, nice.
Callum Jackson: if Maybe it's in Egypt. Maybe it's in Cairo.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, it's the Egypt one now. That looks cool.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, that's a cool map, really cool map. So yeah, it's cool to have these sort of differences and... Yeah, it definitely, when I was playing the beat, it definitely felt different. Like you definitely turned around and went, oh yeah, I like that map. I don't like that map as much. So that is there.
Callum Jackson: um Instead of it just being like, oh yeah, I'm in a desert again.
Cameron Resner: yeah I mean, desert too, with the same sort of houses and same sort of buildings.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, and I mean, I like those sort of realistic, get like, ah like um you know, Hell Let Loose, I liked. um So I don't mind maps looking the same and being in World War II and that, but it is good for a game like this if you're going to play for a long time.
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Callum Jackson: It's good to have the diversity in the maps.
Cameron Resner: And I mean, you could yeah you end up finding a map that you like and bumming the crap out of it.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. Yeah.
Cameron Resner: That's usually what happens. and
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Maybe that'll be Metro.
Callum Jackson: oh Oh, God, yeah. ah we
Cameron Resner: you
Callum Jackson: Brad has actually spoke to me about that. He's like, he was like I don't want another fucking Metro.
Cameron Resner: He doesn't want another Metro.
Callum Jackson: the I don't blame him. It is a fuck fest.
Cameron Resner: It is fine.
Callum Jackson: I mean, I actually preferred Locker.
Cameron Resner: What was one? Yeah, i was going to say i was at Battlefield 4 on the mountain.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, yeah.
Cameron Resner: That literally the one was about to ask. That one was good. And they didn't re they haven't really remade that one, have they?
Callum Jackson: No, not at all.
Cameron Resner: and Yeah, that would be interesting to go back to because that's a cool that's a very interesting setting as well.
Callum Jackson: It's always Metro, isn't it?
Callum Jackson: Yeah, it felt like a prison, didn't it? And there was like those middle bunkers with the machine guns on it.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Yeah.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, that was that was cool.
Cameron Resner: It felt like it was very well laid out and you always kind of felt like if you couldn't get through one way, you could go through like another side way. and you
Callum Jackson: Yeah, it was definitely like a tunnel system of like sort of three ways, but it felt good.
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Cameron Resner: Then you had that outdoor bit on the left.
Callum Jackson: Yeah. Yeah. Bring it back. Bring that map back.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, bring it back.
Callum Jackson: that's That's a good map. But they'll probably do Metro because they know people be like, Metro!
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: I remember that one! love it.
Cameron Resner: Again, do people? It's like the whole destruction thing. Is Metro... I don't know. Is Metro that big anymore? I don't know.
Callum Jackson: yeah no i don't know in metro way um the battlefield 5 version i remember playing as well and do you remember battlefield 5 where you could build shit yeah that was fun they didn't have that but i mean i don't need that i'm just saying it was it was good because in metro you could put up sandbags at least so people couldn't come through so i did enjoy that i did yeah so um did they
Cameron Resner: Not big.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, that added something different to it. Did they do it in 2042? Yes. or Or were they going to? I can't remember.
Callum Jackson: I can't remember. 2042 was fucking shit. ah the um
Cameron Resner: Yeah. The only map I already remember is the Shanghai. Was it Shanghai? can't remember. No. Yeah, let's see. That's what I mean.
Cameron Resner: I can remember the settings, but i can't remember.
Callum Jackson: Yes. Siege of Shanghai.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: um Are you talking about...
Callum Jackson: no that i the one i The only one i Fucking hell.
Cameron Resner: Kaleidoscope, it's called.
Callum Jackson: I don't remember any maps.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, it's called Kaleidoscope.
Callum Jackson: What one's that?
Cameron Resner: and one and It's in like a city. It feels like Caesar Shanghai, but it's not.
Callum Jackson: Yes.
Cameron Resner: And you go up and down the elevators.
Callum Jackson: yes sorry Yeah, sorry.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: you yeah that Yeah, that was shit as well because basically there was two buildings each side and then it was just you're fighting on a lawn.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: What fucking joke. The the the building was alright though to fight in and then go up the elevator but Jesus Christ yeah.
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Callum Jackson: And there was kind of a map in the desert Dubai maybe? I can't remember but that was okay.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, I mean, with a big stadium.
Callum Jackson: That was a good one. um But yeah yeah that was that was quite good I liked the sort of size of that one that I remember that being like oh yeah we got 128 players I couldn't wait and then and then I played and was like it's just fucking shit and then they took out the 128 players anyway
Cameron Resner: Yeah, have they got, how many, they got, is it 64 players in this one or?
Callum Jackson: yeah they lowered it yeah but I mean like with the size of the maps oh my god I couldn't imagine 128 on this game
Cameron Resner: Hmm, interesting.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, maybe 128 just too much, especially if you want to add few.
Callum Jackson: It would be cool on ah on certain games and certain maps, but this... It wasn't it.
Cameron Resner: Again, I imagine through Portal, you may be able to add those kind of things, which would be fun.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, definitely.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Have like 128 people Metro. What was it, like 9,900 tickets or something?
Callum Jackson: God. They used to do that, though. Yeah, or just unlimited tickets for some reason. And you're like, what? How the fuck? Why? Why would you join that?
Cameron Resner: No. Yeah, that's too much. Although, didn't we...
Callum Jackson: ah you
Cameron Resner: What was the longest game we were in? Like two hours once or something.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, no, that was when um it was completely broken.
Cameron Resner: Grand Prix.
Callum Jackson: well it was... um
Cameron Resner: Grand Operation. Was it a Grand Operation?
Callum Jackson: There is that.
Cameron Resner: No.
Callum Jackson: ah So, oh, you're talking about that? Yeah, on Battlefield 1 and 5, they brought them in, didn't they?
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Callum Jackson: And it was huge. Yeah, the Grand Opera.
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Callum Jackson: I think it was that on Battlefield 5. But i was always always thought you meant the... um I think it was like over an hour, and I can't remember what it was, ah the mode, but they brought it in with a DLC pack on Battlefield 1.
Callum Jackson: Do you remember when you like you would take a point, but then the enemy could then take it and then push you back?
Cameron Resner: Oh, yeah.
Callum Jackson: And it was there was no timer.
Cameron Resner: Yes. that's your but
Callum Jackson: There was no timer. there was no they just They either won or you won.
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: That was how the game ended and we were over an hour in that one game.
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, then they they completely reworked that game mode. But whatever that was, I really like that sort of mode where you're pushing and pulling.
Cameron Resner: Mm-hmm.
Callum Jackson: But yeah, you need to set a time limit on it at least.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, you can't...
Callum Jackson: Or a point system like...
Cameron Resner: I just remember feeling completely dumb.
Callum Jackson: I don't think we played often.
Cameron Resner: No, I think that was...
Callum Jackson: We didn't play for a bit. I remember that. We were like, yeah, that's ah that's it.
Cameron Resner: Yeah, it's us for now.
Callum Jackson: I'm good. Which it is different on different games. But imagine... So like Hell Let Loose, I can play a game or two. But like that's because I have the ah quiet times.
Cameron Resner: Yeah. And there's yeah it's downtime, yeah.
Callum Jackson: and the But Battlefield 1? for an hour straight of just...
Cameron Resner: Something real PDF issue.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, it's just... Fucking... God. I remember as well... I don't know what the map was, but you remember as well, there was a middle point and people were downstairs and they were all in there.
Callum Jackson: It was like a broken sort of building and they were all downstairs.
Cameron Resner: um that one on the side of the mountain or something.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, and... Oh my God, they were just all in there and you couldn't push it and then when you did, they would jump back in.
Cameron Resner: Yes.
Callum Jackson: oh
Cameron Resner: I just constantly re-sported.
Callum Jackson: your
Cameron Resner: yeah
Callum Jackson: Yeah. it it' It's not good. So there are some things. Not everything's perfect. So, but, um yeah, I'm hoping that Battlefield 6 has enough that kind of keeps us there, you know, for for a good while because it does have the power to do that.
Cameron Resner: in
Callum Jackson: And if I put 120 plus hours into 2042 after they updated it, to be fair, they did they did update it, but I wouldn't go back now.
Callum Jackson: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: and and please
Callum Jackson: But yeah, just just don't start like 2042. Start like good and then get to like Battlefield 4 levels or Battlefield 1 and Bad Company.
Callum Jackson: Just be good.
Cameron Resner: Yeah.
Cameron Resner: Just don't, yeah, don't try and do too much at the beginning.
Callum Jackson: just be good
Cameron Resner: Just focus on getting a good game out first and then add shit from there.
Callum Jackson: Yeah, then you can see what your audience is doing. But so far, i'm happy with what I've seen in play. And I look very forward to getting into that.
