john hewitt: Well, I didn't think you had it in you. I'm your huckleberry. We started a game we never got to finish. Play for blood, remember?
john hewitt: a game we never got to finish play
john hewitt: Cry about that, dirty old bitch. We're
john hewitt: on red alert, people. We're on red alert. We've got breaking news.
john hewitt: I am John Cat here, live at the Cat House, sitting in with Harrison. Harrison, say hello.
Clutch Commander: Hello, everybody.
john hewitt: Breaking news from Crytek.
john hewitt: All of that lore that we were all bitching that they got rid of, they put it all back.
Clutch Commander: Sweet.
john hewitt: I'm not going lie to you. I'm not going to sit here and say that I looked at every piece of it when it was at the first go around. But the fact that I guess they heard enough people bitching about it and they realized what they got rid of, that they've given it a whole section of the website.
Clutch Commander: Yeah.
john hewitt: It's called the Mythos section of the website now.
Clutch Commander: Okay.
john hewitt: And at the moment, there's only a couple pieces available. They're still getting the rest of it. At the moment, the only thing that's available is the event stuff.
john hewitt: Like the the shit you get throughout the event, the the storylines of the events. All of the events are on there. And then there's, i guess, the extent of like the monster manual.
Clutch Commander: Okay.
john hewitt: But then you go.
Clutch Commander: Now,
john hewitt: go ahead.
Clutch Commander: Now, do they have it just as written out blog posts, like journal entries, or do they have the audio files?
john hewitt: I wouldn't... They've got to have the audio files if they have the other stuff. I've just been skimming over it at the moment.
Clutch Commander: Okay.
john hewitt: We'll do it live. Scorched Earth Part 2. There's got to be some audio files in the Scorched Earth. Yeah, no, they're on there.
Clutch Commander: Nice.
john hewitt: The audio files are on there.
Clutch Commander: Okay.
john hewitt: There's a little WAV file in the middle of the page.
Clutch Commander: Awesome.
john hewitt: But... You've got all the events right now you've got the monster, the corrupted monsters with the kind of a monster manual coming soon. They're going to give you the lyric breakdown for all the port solfer songs.
john hewitt: Cause I, I feel like they're also responsible for some of the lore is port solfer band and their music.
Clutch Commander: Nice.
Clutch Commander: Yeah.
john hewitt: but then they're also going to go into the lore behind some of the weapons and the lore for all of the hunters.
Clutch Commander: Okay, so we're finally going to get actual tangible.
john hewitt: There's always been some lore. You just have to read their little blurb to kind of learn about them. But yes, i it'll all be centralized. You're not going to have to root through the game, the the UI that's always a little fucked anyway.
john hewitt: But yeah, that's a fucking huge... I mean, I saw that yesterday and i was like, dude, breaking news. We got to get in on this. We got to get on top of it. I mean, are are you excited to finally be able to mean you could be taking a dump at work and be learning about the origins of the emulator?
Clutch Commander: So, yes and no.
john hewitt: Why the no?
Clutch Commander: Yes, I'm excited they have it. the I want it also in the game. Do you remember that the sci-fi show Defiance where all the lore for the game was on a website or something that you had to go to?
john hewitt: Yeah.
john hewitt: Vaguely, yes.
Clutch Commander: i don't want it to be that. I like it on the website, don't get me wrong, but I think they need to add it back to the game so that it, you don't have to go to three different places to learn all the lore about it.
john hewitt: Well, at this point, I don't think you have to go to three. I think if you want to know. It's available on the Web. I think Central. I agree with you. I liked it better in the game. But I think having it centralized all in one place, it does kind of mitigate some of the headache where you're like, well, I got to make sure I read this event bullshit before the event ends. And let me read all this stuff. And, you know, X, Y and Z. When now you could just as easily be like, I'm just going to hang out and I'm going to read shit about all of my favorite stuff.
john hewitt: I like I'm going to learn the stuff now that I've wanted to look into for forever.
Clutch Commander: No, I agree that it's good that they still have it and that they're putting it back out and that it's all in one place. But I think that one place should also be the game that you play where you care about all the lore.
john hewitt: Yeah, I can agree. Like, even if that was like more of a, even if the lore stuff was, maybe throw that shit in there for the loading screens instead of, you do know that clues glow red when hunters are close.
Clutch Commander: Yeah, I'd be okay with that.
john hewitt: Like, if if you had moderate, like, like little, like, little makeshift history channel blurbs.
Clutch Commander: Little blurbs.
john hewitt: That'd be pretty cool. But I mean, this is this is big too, though, because you remember they took it without any kind of fucking fanfare. And the fact that they put it back, I'm like, I'm i'm excited that they at least put it back.
Clutch Commander: i agree. I'm happy it's back.
john hewitt: Yeah.
Clutch Commander: I just kind of also wish it was in the game I play.
john hewitt: Yeah. I'd say just give it time. I imagine within time they will be putting it back.
Clutch Commander: Probably. i mean, they're redoing the UI again, so it'll probably be in there again.
john hewitt: Sure, sure. With this emergency podcast, have you been getting into anything since we've recorded last?
Clutch Commander: Other than watching Reacher, no.
john hewitt: Yes.
Clutch Commander: But I'm really enjoying the show.
john hewitt: Yeah. Reacher's... I mean, that the guy... the The show, for being as corny as it is, it is it is rock solid.
Clutch Commander: Yes.
john hewitt: Like, that guy's a hell of a fucking actor.
Clutch Commander: Yes. i I can ignore a lot of the dumb coincidences in Reacher a lot more than I can in other shows because of how good he is.
john hewitt: Oh, for sure. For sure. For sure. Like, if if this show starred anybody else, like, if it was the guy from Rebel Ridge kind of doing a Jack Reacher thing, like, the way i
Clutch Commander: I'd be okay with that. I liked him.
john hewitt: I like what I've seen of that guy, i would not buy it for a minute. It's just something about Reacher where I'm like, you just killed this guy's right-hand man and now you've become his right-hand man?
john hewitt: It's just something about Reacher where I'm like, yeah, I could see that happening.
Clutch Commander: Yeah.
john hewitt: I could see a guy that size coming out of the woods and you're like, I guess I work with him now.
Clutch Commander: Yeah.
john hewitt: Unlike the guy from like, or like fucking, I mean, any Jack Bauer comes out of the fucking woods and you're like, you're going to put two in his ass. You're just going put two in his ass and be like, get away from me.
john hewitt: I don't want anything do with you. You're sketchy looking. But Reacher immediately, you'll look at him and you're like...
Clutch Commander: Yeah.
john hewitt: God, you're fucking intimidating. I guess you're coming with me.
Clutch Commander: I guess if you're running away, if you're running, going, we need to leave, I guess I need to leave too.
john hewitt: yeah Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If a guy that size is hauling ass and he goes, get the car, we're leaving. You don't ask questions.
Clutch Commander: Nope, you get in the car and we're leaving.
john hewitt: Yeah. Yes, we are. We are not leaving.
Clutch Commander: Yeah.
john hewitt: You're leaving and I'm coming with you.
Clutch Commander: yeah
john hewitt: Yeah. Yeah. We'll round this out here in about the next two minutes. Just make it a quick little 10-minuter about the lore. it's fucking it's It's big. i'm I'm super fucking pumped. but Shot out of a cannon time. Harrison, I just went and bought some groceries earlier. You've been to the store. You've been buying your own groceries for a while now. You're not living with roommates anymore. You're buying your own shit.
Clutch Commander: Yes.
john hewitt: Have you ever been behind... a woman in the line to check out attractive woman. I'm not saying your mouth's watering, but very attractive woman. And when you're, you're looking at her groceries as she's buying stuff, you always see a woman by one cucumber. Do you ever just like sit there and be like, do you think like,
john hewitt: Either you're eating one cucumber or you got a weird date, but like, it's just weird. Like I've never went in there and bought just like one carrot. Like who's buying just one cucumber. Do you ever just see women buy weird phallic shaped stuff and you're like, Hmm.
Clutch Commander: I'm going to be honest with you. Normally at the grocery store, I have my headphones in, and I'm off on podcast land listening to history about Rasputin and how he was a horny little fucker.
john hewitt: Well,
Clutch Commander: So, no, i don't I don't pay attention to what other people are buying.
john hewitt: Yeah, yeah.
Clutch Commander: Although I will say this one time, at the grocery store, I had a wrestling shirt on and this staff member proceeded to have a 30 minute conversation with me about wrestling.
Clutch Commander: And I just wanted to buy my groceries, but he was a little on the spectrum, you know, and I felt bad.
john hewitt: yeah yeah
Clutch Commander: So 30 minutes later, i was able to end the conversation.
john hewitt: for wearing AJ Styles shirt. They all love him.
Clutch Commander: Apparently, Silas is loved by all.
john hewitt: AJ Styles and John Cena.
Clutch Commander: Unlike John Cena.
john hewitt: Yeah, they love him.
Clutch Commander: that John Cena's evil now. Nobody likes him.
john hewitt: Look, it had to happen, okay? And his name is John Cena!
john hewitt: He'll live in infamy.
Clutch Commander: Yes, he will.
john hewitt: I think we're good. i yeah I just really wanted to get your opinion on the lore. i mean there's been all the to like know Rat329 is a big lore guy He makes me feel like I'm on the spectrum sometimes when he starts talking about the lore because it's stuff that I never put two and two together. There's, course, you know fucking Hazmat FTdubs on YouTube. That's his whole fucking page. It's just lore shit. and I know he was upset that A, the original lore apparently was a lot like darker and cooler, and then we got this lore, and then they just unceremoniously fucking got rid of this lore. So the fact that like this is kind of creeping back, I hope he starts making some some fresh content regarding that. But I was excited, and I was like, i got we gotta fucking jump on this, and I want to get your impression.
Clutch Commander: umm I'm glad it happened. I'm excited to see what further bits they add about the hunters.
Clutch Commander: And we'll see what goes on with it.
john hewitt: Yeah, I mean, even if it's just the blurbs that are there when you buy the hunter, i think it's it's just something about having it on my phone where I can read it that I'd be more likely to you know, which it was on the site to begin with. We were doing that early in the show's run. We were reading biographies of different hunters.
john hewitt: It was on the website.
Clutch Commander: Yeah.
john hewitt: But I want to see how this is laid out. like I feel like this is going to be... um'm i'm I'm excited. My interest is peaked. we went from I went from feeling sorry for Crytek in the last episode to now only a couple days were removed. I'm like i'm excited.
john hewitt: you guys had You guys have my interest peaked.
Clutch Commander: Yeah. I hope with this, maybe we get a phone app where it's all there and you can inspect shit. And look at all the skins.
john hewitt: It will be cool. I'm not even going to say, I'm not even going to try and be like critical and be like, but Cowboys do didn't have phones. I'd be like, no, I'd be on that phone at work, like getting in trouble because I'm over there making loadouts. And they're goingnna be like dude, why haven't you left to hit the road yet? And I'm going to like, I'm trying to see what pairs good with a fucking conversion pistol or a PAX. I don't know. I'm fucking, I'm playing around right now and I'm seeing the lore of the fucking Caldwell trauma.
Clutch Commander: Yeah.
