00:03:31
john hewitt
Hold on. That's old segment one. You know what segment one now is. Oh my god. You look like the 4th of July. That makes me want to hot dog real bad.
00:03:46
john hewitt
The other board members of Cats Dogs are going to get mad if I don't mention it at every segment one, like it says in my contract. That's what we've been doing this week, sponsored by Cats Dogs. Harrison, is there anything particular you've been doing this week? I know we had kind of a clusterfuck last episode, but we're tiptoeing
Book Talk: Brandon Sanderson
00:04:03
john hewitt
into Christmas. Have you been doing anything this week?
00:04:05
Clutch Commander
ah ah This week, you know other than reading some books and catching up on some Netflix shows, nothing nothing really interesting this week.
00:04:15
john hewitt
We've been reading.
00:04:17
Clutch Commander
I have been reading Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archives.
00:04:20
john hewitt
The Bible. The Torah. I didn't know you were a Sanderson guy. That guy kicks out books. He makes fucking Stephen King look like a like a child. That guy is constantly kicking out books.
00:04:34
Clutch Commander
Yeah, so my brother is real big into him and he got me to read the first Mistborn trilogy and Warbreaker and they are really good books.
00:04:44
john hewitt
OK.
00:04:52
Clutch Commander
And I have the issue of with books, I have to have the paperback.
00:04:57
john hewitt
Oh, yes.
00:04:57
Clutch Commander
I can't do I can't do the audio book and I can't do reading on your PC.
00:05:04
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:05:05
Clutch Commander
I don't know why.
00:05:05
john hewitt
I don't mind an audio book, but like I like a physical. I like a chunky boy. I like a I like a book in my hand.
00:05:13
Clutch Commander
Yeah, makes it easy to read.
00:05:17
john hewitt
I didn't know you were a Sanderson guy.
00:05:21
Clutch Commander
It's new ish.
00:05:24
john hewitt
Puts my expectations for our next tabletop campaign a lot higher now.
Tabletop Campaign Plans & Gen Con 2025
00:05:30
Clutch Commander
Well, I just because I can read.
00:05:30
john hewitt
And it makes me question what the fuck your brother was thinking when he he made that other one by scratch, because I'm like, you're a Sanderson guy now. Like, what are you doing? and
00:05:39
Clutch Commander
Look, just because you read his books doesn't mean you're good at storytelling.
00:05:44
john hewitt
You don't have to be good at storytelling, you just rip off did you rip off who you want to rip off I had a very good campaign that I think we all had fun with where I just ripped off fucking good fellas like you can rip off Sanderson whole cloth
00:05:58
Clutch Commander
It's right. I'm. I am not as intelligent man to bring that together with the way you all play.
00:06:07
john hewitt
Well, we'll, uh, we'll save this. I imagine we have a tabletop special coming up considering the fact that, uh, you heard it now waiting for the players is going to Gen Con 2025. We'll be there doing coverage the whole weekend. Interviews coverage, the whole thing we're bringing, we're bringing the show on the road. Uh, yeah, we're going to a convention, not related to the topic that we generally talk about, but it should be good.
Gaming Talk: Baldur's Gate & Cobra Kai
00:06:32
Clutch Commander
We're going to have to get shirts and like press passes and you know, all that.
00:06:35
john hewitt
Yeah. Just gonna be walking around the convention all kinds of fucking like... Just smoothing up on people, begging them for an interview.
00:06:47
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:06:49
john hewitt
yeah, I have, uh, I worked for the post office, so leading up to Christmas, I haven't had a lot of shit. Uh, it's, it's been mainly, mainly Baldur's Gate. Uh, we're still playing the bard run on top of the bard run. I have a party that's all monks for monks.
00:07:06
john hewitt
And ah the boys of Cobra Kai have just entered the Underdark in Act 1, and we are just deleting dudes off the board. We're getting ready to go open up a can of whoop ass on the Drow, the little fucking Gnomes that are down there, the Dwarfs. And yeah, Baldur's Gate's still holding me up, and the event is still, I think it's great, fucking popping balloons and shit. It's it's a good time. We're gonna skip gameplay.
00:07:34
john hewitt
because like I said, it's close to Christmas. we have We've been spending time with family and stuff. We haven't played too much. We could dip our toe in it real quick. Just say.
00:07:46
john hewitt
la
00:07:49
john hewitt
Man, I gotta switch where the fuck that button is. a yeah hu I think the event's great. You haven't really fucked with it terribly much. But on the whole, event event play is event play. like but Vanilla Hunt is definitely seems to be the so more rare case now. It seems like we get an event more frequently than we get Vanilla Hunt.
00:08:14
john hewitt
But everything that they've done for this event, I really like. I like the new traits. I like the carnival. ah ah carnival is The circus is now the center of the map. You'll you'll see.
00:08:27
john hewitt
But i i I like it. I understand where the grievances are. Speaking of grievances, we'll launch right into segment three here in a second. But yeah, i don't I don't have a problem with it.
00:08:27
Clutch Commander
All right.
Hunt Christmas Special Grievances
00:08:43
Clutch Commander
I'm glad it seems fun, and I like that they put something in the middle of the map other than just a cash to go get.
00:08:44
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:08:50
john hewitt
Yeah. Yeah. Here, we'll we'll launch right in into segment three, so we don't have to dance around it. We'll just hit this button.
00:08:57
john hewitt
now it works baby a man that update made the world a difference everything's working now my computer may be on fire currently but it's working We're launching into segment three. This is our Christmas special. Christmas is a time for giving, but more importantly, in this household, I don't know how it works in Harrison's household, since he's a child of both Christmas and the eight crazy nights. But in this household, we like to have a little something where we begin this Festivus with the airing of grievances. So Harrison, with the state of hunt at the moment,
00:09:38
john hewitt
Where do you air your grievances? Do you have grievances on your side to air? Is there anything that's really fucking stuck in your crawl that they haven't fixed or haven't addressed?
Hunt Connectivity Complaints
00:09:48
Clutch Commander
Right now just the connectivity issues other than that. I'm enjoying Everything going on with the game. I just wish we didn't have to reparty after every match Yeah, I mean that's the that's my biggest issue right now other than that I'm enjoying the game.
00:10:00
john hewitt
Which I believe they are. I believe they are working on. They are aware of that.
00:10:07
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:10:10
Clutch Commander
I wish I wish special ammo was a little more special but Uh, you know, they're working on that. So that's good.
00:10:19
john hewitt
Yeah, speaking of some of these these things, I'll I'll dip my toe into this thing. Conspiracy corner.
00:10:30
john hewitt
I know that you're you're not an audiobook guy. You're not necessarily a huge podcast listening guy. You have your favorites. I don't know if you listen to the Hunt Vanish extract with Havoc, like the Loremaster Havoc off of YouTube. He brings up a thing with these these bugs and issues, which are basically reissues of, oh, we've had these bugs. We had these bugs, and they were resolved.
00:10:59
john hewitt
And it seems like things they've done to put the circus in place, these bugs have resurfaced twofold. but the reason they haven't got it fixed yet, uh, he dropped the, he dropped the thought that for one, uh, cry tech is not as big as we think. Like, or it's bigger than we think. We think it's 12 guys in a basement. They have four offices spread out all over you all over Europe.
00:11:27
john hewitt
But more importantly, it seems like they're taking resources away from working on Hunt to try and push out Crisis Four.
00:11:38
john hewitt
Which may be why we're getting bugs that are just lingering and like the asset department isn't fixing anything, but for some reason the art department's working overtime because the only people working on Hunt at the moment.
00:11:50
john hewitt
and are the three old graphic designers sitting in the back.
00:11:55
Clutch Commander
I. So I. I don't know what they're making from Hunt. I.
00:12:06
john hewitt
Monetary-wise, I think it's their only thing bringing in money.
00:12:07
Clutch Commander
Yes.
00:12:11
Clutch Commander
And if that's the case, I find it hard that they're putting everybody off of that. I think this is a issue where they fix it on the old system when it was just Hunt Showdown.
00:12:29
john hewitt
And that's become a new issue with 96.
00:12:29
Clutch Commander
And when they migrated it over, yes.
00:12:33
john hewitt
It could be.
00:12:34
Clutch Commander
I think it's less that there's less people on it and more it's a new engine. They thought they had these problems fixed and they did, but when they migrated it over, you know, probably copy paste a few lines. Now there's issues and they're trying to fix it.
00:12:54
john hewitt
Probably. Again, it's nothing game breaking either. The worst thing that we've had lately is a little bit of rubber banding. And at the end of every game, I have to resend you or him an invite.
00:13:05
Clutch Commander
Yeah, we're not having, and even the rubber banding was once at a like, you know,
00:13:09
john hewitt
Minimal. Yeah.
00:13:11
Clutch Commander
20 30 games and it's never bad Not like it's been in the past It's just reinventing and you know, it could be PlayStation having the issue not them Okay
00:13:13
john hewitt
Yes.
00:13:17
john hewitt
Yes.
00:13:25
john hewitt
i Think it is them though because it's been it's on PC side, too Man I tried to bait you into some negativity there and you went straight waiting for other players and only gave a positive spin and
00:13:32
Clutch Commander
Then, yeah, I mean, it's just it's same issue we dealt with before, but it's on their new engine, their new systems, and it's taken them a little bit to fix.
00:13:50
Clutch Commander
Yeah, that's you know. If it was, we kept getting booted while we were playing, we kept rubber banding while we were playing. it would be different than we finish the game, we get out, we still get all of our shit for winning, but we have to re-invite and start the group again. It's more of an inconvenience than like a game-breaking bug.
00:14:15
john hewitt
Yes, absolutely.
00:14:20
john hewitt
If that's all the grievances we have, we can launch right into the the actual Christmas portion. And the discussion I have for us today is we had a few very nice Christmas
Past Christmas Events & Post Malone Circus
00:14:36
john hewitt
Christmas events. We had the skin flint. We had the Krampus one. we had I think skin flint and Krampus were in the same one, but we had skin flint, Krampus, Santa Claus. We've had a few Christmas oriented events. Same way we've had, we have a Halloween event. Do we think that they're cooked out on Christmas? Because this year we've foregone Christmas and we've gotten a Post Malone circus.
00:15:02
Clutch Commander
I think that was just a timing thing. I look at it as the same as the Halloween one. It's cool to have a Halloween event, but I'd rather almost not have one than have the same event last year all over again. You know, if they got to take a year off, no big deal. Uh, I understand the Post Malone thing being a big deal and then wanting to get that out and it just timed out with Christmas.
00:15:33
Clutch Commander
You know, I appreciate them not pushing that off.
00:15:33
john hewitt
i mean i'll be honest and yeah once we got the halloween one and it wasn't necessarily halloween I kind of didn't think we were going to get a Christmas. And to be honest, I don't think we need a Halloween event. I think I'd be fine with the Thanksgiving event where the boss that gives you the buffs is scrappy. And maybe you have to cook that motherfucker with a firearms or something like
00:15:59
Clutch Commander
Burn like the turkey.
00:16:00
john hewitt
Yeah, there's there's other there's other directions they could go in. As far as the Christmas, I like the Christmas because I feel like there's enough meat on the Christmas bone that Christmas, while it is a time for gift-giving, airing of grievances, feats of strength, it ultimately is like it's another Halloween. Halloween is a solstice in the fall where you know the veils down spirits could come through spooky shit goes on christmas is the same way christmas carol is not a story about ghosts coming and having a good time with ebenezer scrooge the christmas carol is a story about ghosts coming to fucking torture this guy all night long till he learns his lesson they could do something similar with hunt where maybe this year it's not santa or
00:16:51
john hewitt
fucking Ebenezer Scrooge, but maybe we do get a, a bell shnickel or like another country. I mean, it's an American centered game.
00:17:01
john hewitt
That doesn't mean it's only to be like American icons, icons all over the world, celebrate Christmas in different ways. I don't know if you know this in Chile, they have a guy that just takes a shit down your fucking chimney.
00:17:14
Clutch Commander
Damn.
00:17:15
john hewitt
Yeah, it's crazy.
00:17:15
Clutch Commander
He shit down the chimney.
00:17:17
john hewitt
Look it up, I believe it's Chile, Pooping Man. But i I think they they may have left a little meat on the bone, but as you said, take a year off, come back next year and really fucking hit the Christmas hard. Maybe we do finally get some snow. I mean, who knows? I think you could read i could think you could realistically get snow in like Mammon's Gulch.
00:17:43
john hewitt
Or, I mean the bayou, I don't know if it snows down south.
00:17:50
Clutch Commander
You could just do frozen like the water's frozen.
00:17:53
john hewitt
Yeah. Or that could be a result of like the event, like that weird shit. When you hear about, like it's snowing in Texas and you're like, what the fuck is this about? It could be something weird like that, where it's like a, a geo event and it's, you know, you have to ride it out.
00:18:10
Clutch Commander
I wouldn't be against that.
00:18:12
john hewitt
I think it'd be fun. Let me write that down. We're keeping that for us. That's our new tabletop campaign.
00:18:20
Clutch Commander
Nice.
00:18:22
john hewitt
are you I see a lot of people bitching about the pushing out of
New Weapons & Hunt Strategy
00:18:26
john hewitt
different weapon types. Are you fine with these? I mean, the Blade Ripper aside. Blade Ripper, it is what it is. It's event centered. It's only available in the map. like that's It's neither here nor there.
00:18:39
john hewitt
but like
00:18:39
Clutch Commander
So I'm not against them having.
00:18:44
Clutch Commander
Different guns that can only be found in the world.
00:18:48
john hewitt
I actually think that's, it's a good, I think that finding weapons in the world specific and ammo in the world special. I think that's a very unique way of like, it's very Call of Duty, but I think it's also very, where it's like you want to nitro, you have to find it above the fireplace at this cabin on this map.
00:19:10
Clutch Commander
Yeah, and I'm not against it being like, you know, they're trying to bring people more into the middle of the map to fight instead of getting the bounty and running.
00:19:20
john hewitt
and
00:19:20
Clutch Commander
You could have the middle of the map always be something, whether it be special ammo, the unique guns, which you can rotate. I mean, you can have it be anything you want it to be, but it would pull more people when they're not doing these holiday events.
00:19:37
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:19:37
Clutch Commander
into the middle of the map because, shit, I need to get my small special ammo. Let me go get it.
00:19:44
john hewitt
Yeah. Well, I believe they said it on on banish extract again, boys. I'm not high this time. I'm listening. I love the show. I believe it might have been havoc. They had I mean, they were running a five person panel that day. It was DJ the regulars and then havoc and another gentleman. But I believe they mentioned that, like, the world is so beautiful. Why wouldn't we have a thing where like yes there's bosses but there's other shit that we can do that doesn't require us to engage the walking simulator of moving to the other part of the map just to get the bounty like we could there could be assets that we could find in the world and extract we could go in the mine pick up a few things and extract for money we could go looking for meathead hides and then extract with money like they could really open they could leave the time frame the time frame is what the time frame is granted
00:20:44
john hewitt
It's not what the original lore was because the lore there was a reason that the time was what it was because that's how long you could stay in the bayou until you fucking succumb to the infection.
Hunt Mechanics & Economy Speculation
00:20:54
john hewitt
But there's stuff they could do besides just hunt the bounty and get out.
00:21:00
Clutch Commander
But my issue with all of that is After you played a while, money is basically irrelevant. OK, so if you were to go and go like we need to go to the meathead, the meathead farm and kill meatheads and get their skin.
00:21:08
john hewitt
Yes.
00:21:17
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:21:18
Clutch Commander
What then do you use that skin for?
00:21:21
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:21:22
Clutch Commander
You craft guns, do you craft silencers? Do they turn it into escape from Tarkov? Like you.
00:21:28
john hewitt
Well, originally the game did have Tarkov. allegedly, the game did have Tarkov like damage and stuff like that, where if you hurt your leg, that hunter just has a fucked up leg and your your movements like halved until you can pop a wellspring and repair your hunter.
00:21:47
Clutch Commander
So I like that it's more Escape from Tarkov but Call of Duty so it's light escape from Tarkov. It's to weed you into it I think if you're doing that you start doing too much Because then you're I have to now build a gun which means
00:21:55
john hewitt
Yes.
00:22:06
john hewitt
No, no, I don't I wouldn't go that far. I think the thing they were mentioning was If you're on a map and somebody spawns on the boss on the opposite side of the map banishes and extracts before you can even get over there What's the point of play in that map? Like that map is just toast now, but it's not like you have you have the timer Well, the fucking boss is gone I'm gonna go collect some points off some meatheads I'm going to go.
00:22:34
john hewitt
I'm going to go try and hunt up, you know, whatever's in the mind. I'm going to go collect fucking how much ore I can in the mine.
00:22:43
Clutch Commander
and i And I get that would be a good idea, but then they have to have something to spend that on.
00:22:49
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:22:50
Clutch Commander
That's the that's my issue is they already have money, which is pretty irrelevant to the to the whole game.
00:22:58
john hewitt
Yes.
00:22:59
Clutch Commander
So, I mean, all they can do is try to find like a money sink where you need money and this other item. But then what do you do you make it where you have to craft all your guns?
00:23:11
Clutch Commander
Do you make it so you can and Instead of buying special ammo, you have to craft them. Which doesn't sound like a bad idea.
00:23:19
john hewitt
or i had the thought of uh...
00:23:22
john hewitt
the way bullet drop crept up out of nowhere uh... special and is becoming scarce they could lower that up and make that apparently are ammo supply that we had is dwindling and now everything we're getting from the statesman is just subpar horseshit and that's why the bullets don't go as far that's why there's not as much special and then periodically throughout the year We could all get a telegram from the statesman. I'm running out of fucking bleed ammo until the shipment arrives at the next fucking event. So now bleed ammo is just like twice, twice, two, three times as expensive. There is no high velocity for the next half of the year. Like it could just be something where they write it in that the economy of the game is being dictated by how difficult it is to get stuff in.
00:24:13
Clutch Commander
and against that but that's that doesn't get people playing that's like if I ah you know if I only use bleed ammo and you take that away from me why am I gonna play your game now I it's not as fun for me so the only thing like that I can see is you make it where you know special ammo is found in the world or you can make it but you'd like double the bullet drop off You don't you like half the damage where it's like you can make your own ammo, but it's not as good as the shit you find in the world and That's both a money sink and uh, oh now I have something to do other than just oh I didn't get the bounty I lost but then you also have the issue of Alright, we're only going in to kill hive so we can make poison ammo We kill the hives if we start to get in a fight we leave because we can't lose this stuff So you'd need somewhere like in the world to dump it and
00:25:14
john hewitt
Like workbenches would serve as, like that's, you know, or that's where you that's where you you craft it.
00:25:18
Clutch Commander
You could do that, but you'd have to have somewhere where you can like store it to send back to your camp.
00:25:26
john hewitt
Like you have your own banish event. The through the the three-minute timer is you crafting this ammo, and now you have to defend your workbench for three minutes.
00:25:36
Clutch Commander
I wouldn't be against that.
00:25:39
john hewitt
like you have Like you have X amount of resource X amount of ore from the mine helps make high velocity. X amount of poison from hives hives and poison grunts helps to make poison ammo. X amount of dog bones helps to make specific arrow or bolt types.
00:26:00
john hewitt
And then when you find when you find a workbench, you have the option of making this special AMO. And then once you start to make this special AMO, you have to defend. like That cycle has to complete the three minutes to get the special AMO.
00:26:16
Clutch Commander
You'd have to do something like that, but then you'd also have to have, it would have to take up a weapon slot, or not a, but a crewable slot.
00:26:24
john hewitt
Yeah. Well, and the fun would be us creeping up on you, taking it from you. And then it's like, what would I do with it? If I don't have, if I don't have bow and arrow, can I take your special ammo for bow and arrow?
00:26:38
Clutch Commander
So.

john hewitt
Like, can I just creep up, take your fucking special ammo after I kill you and then have it returned to my fucking HUD?
00:26:45
Clutch Commander
Yeah, it would have to be one of those things where whoever leaves with it has it.
00:26:50
john hewitt
Exactly. I think we're getting way off the beaten path, but I like where we're going.
00:26:56
Clutch Commander
Just remember we called it here first, people.
00:26:59
john hewitt
Oh yeah, it'll never happen. It'll never happen. The guy, the guys on fucking HUD banish, they're, they're way more, uh, they have way more foresight than we do.
00:27:11
john hewitt
We just kind of, i get in a I get fucking high as a kite and then I start babbling too much. And I yes and you way too much. That's for the reason I'm in a ah ah lesbian feminist punk band at the moment. I say yes to way too much shit. Lady weiner, we're gonna be doing the new entry music shortly. Get ready for it.
00:27:31
john hewitt
Harrison on this Christmas special of specials,
00:27:37
john hewitt
and know i mean i I feel like we've kind of wound down, but like is there any we've been talking about what we would like to give Hunt as far as stuff Hunt can do, stuff that we would like to see, fun stuff that we think might change everything for the better. Is there anything that Hunt's actually given you over the past year that I mean, this is a Thanksgiving thing, but this is also a new year and a Christmas thing.
Hunt's Role in Friendships
00:28:04
john hewitt
Is there anything that Haunt has done for you that you're like, this game may be fucking garbage 60% of the time with the connectivity, but god damn it, I love this game. Is there anything like that that you can, uh, you could think of?
00:28:20
Clutch Commander
I mean, it was the big game that we started playing after Ghost of Tsushima got old.
00:28:28
Clutch Commander
So it kept us playing games together.
00:28:28
john hewitt
I guess we could say that, yeah.
00:28:32
john hewitt
Ghost of Tsushima and Predator. Predator kinda wore us out.
00:28:36
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:28:37
john hewitt
But I think as far as this past year goes, I think it definitely gave us, it definitely gave us shit to look forward to Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays.
00:28:49
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:28:49
john hewitt
like we We knew straight up, regardless of how shit the house shit the beginning of the week is, Tuesday, we're gonna throw on some hunt. How it plays out is how it plays out, but the three of us are gonna fuck around and find out. Every Thursday, we're gonna get back together. Thursdays now turn into Baldur's Gate night because we were kind of we were in between, we were doing Vanilla Hunt. Nobody was really playing and we decided Baldur's Gate, but that Thursday night was the same thing. Regardless of how shit Wednesday, Thursday was, we're gonna get together and we're gonna fuck around and find out. Saturday, after tabletop games, we're gonna jump on Hunt and we're gonna fuck people up.
00:29:30
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:29:30
john hewitt
So I think it gave us, it gave us something to keep our fucking minds, like for for being a game that's as high strung as it is, it definitely gave us something that like, for one, it chilled us out. Two, it brought us together. Like at this point, you're gone. You don't live with Phil anymore. Like we all have a thread together, but outside of bullshitting in the game, like we're not fucking high five and and touching asses. Like this is it.
00:29:59
john hewitt
so hunt on my radar as kept the whole fucking friend group like just fucking high five and all year the events regardless of how shitty people uh too many of them too frequently uh they they keep us coming back like vanilla hunts vanilla hunt but once an event pops off we're like dude we gotta finish this fucking chart
00:30:20
Clutch Commander
I can agree with that.
Gratitude for Hunt Community
00:30:22
john hewitt
I mean, I think the the new guns that have dropped over the past year, ho-hum. I mean, we we stick to what we stick with. We're like the rest of the community.
00:30:33
john hewitt
We stick to what we stick with.
00:30:34
Clutch Commander
yeah
00:30:35
john hewitt
But on the whole, like i I think on this Christmas of Christmases, on this Festivus for the rest of us, I don't necessarily have a ton of grievances, but I do just want to say thank you to Hunt for giving us giving us a lane to live in.
00:30:55
john hewitt
