Face oh yeah, and a shiny nose. Look at shiny that nose is shiny, the better man, I look odd. Remind me to never shave like that. That is absolutely disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, disgusting.
Speaker 2:Disgusting. I need you to get your whiteboard. It's a top five moment for you, oh cool.
Speaker 1:I like top five moments. You know I, you know I used the whole entire last episode. I used a glasses case an Oakley's glasses case to clean my whiteboard because I couldn't find anything else near me to use to clean it.
Speaker 2:Why did you get a pair of Oakleys Are you? Did you? When you got that pair of Oakleys, did you get a Zinger box combo? Was it?
Speaker 1:Yuck. No, I am Fun story.
Speaker 2:With your G Shock watch.
Speaker 1:I got the Oakleys here.
Speaker 2:If that doesn't scream, I'm going on a holiday to Bali to get a Bing Tang singlet. I don't know what that.
Speaker 1:Orchard bro.
Speaker 2:I am.
Speaker 1:I. This was probably going back a year and a half. Two years ago I was in the market for a new pair of Sonny's and someone in my work knew that I was in the market for a new pair of Sonny's and he's like oh, I have a pair of, I have a pair of Oakleys that you could.
Speaker 2:For a new honey. What For a new honey?
Speaker 1:No, pair of Sonny's, oh, pair of Sonny's, no. There was a guy at work who said, oh, I've got to. Um, I have a friend who, I guess, works for Oakleys and he gets me all these real cheap Sonny's and I was like, oh, okay, sure, I mean you can bring in a pair. I don't know if I'll wear them or anything, but yeah, bring them in. And I was. I told him what kind of Sonny's I liked. I liked the, um, the you know Ray-Ban style Sonny's, ray bands. And he's like, yeah, okay, no, I got you, I got you. And he brought those in and I was like, oh, thanks, thanks, I put them in my drawer. That just before was the first time I've ever worn them, oh, really Ever worn them. And then, because they were in this drawer, when I opened the drawer last, whenever it was being recorded last, I was like, oh, I need to use this to wipe my whiteboard.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's the face, I got to make Whatever. You tell a story.
Speaker 1:You do. You do a better me than I do.
Speaker 2:I'm not Romesh at Ranganathan.
Speaker 1:No, you are not Romesh. All right, one, two, three, four, five. Okay, is the blind rank, is it?
Speaker 2:No, no, it's not a blind rank. Okay, so we're going to tell me the most valuable NFL franchises as of August 8th 2023. Give me the top five.
Speaker 1:We're the most valuable. Are you talking about like the richest? Yep, okay.
Speaker 2:Revenue net worth, net worth yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:But top five Number one has got to be the chiefs. No, are the chiefs top five.
Speaker 2:They've got to be right. No, they're not in the top five.
Speaker 1:They're not top five.
Speaker 2:No, they're still a small one. Wait as of when?
Speaker 1:As of when was this? August 8th 2023. Okay, that's.
Speaker 2:They're still considered like it wasn't like, in all honesty, with the chiefs, they have not. They've been perennial playoff contenders for a very long time, but it wasn't until my homes became my homes and just started taking the league by storm, being the new painted manning of the of the Kansas City chiefs, that everyone's going, wow, look at these chiefs. So they're not. They're not up there.
Speaker 1:No, I get that. I get that If it was going to be like as of I don't know, the first of October 2023, I think chiefs would be up there, purely from Because of Kate T swizzle and Travis Kelsey. Yes, yes, like I don't know if you saw the stats of, like the sales and stuff of the oh yeah, yeah, I have seen that.
Speaker 2:Anyways, it's almost making me want to jump back on the chiefs train, since I've been, since I was following them since 2013. But what's the right.
Speaker 1:All right, so chiefs aren't up there, all right. So they're on their, I guess, visibility and like how they are.
Speaker 2:Think money man.
Speaker 1:Find their merch everywhere. Yeah, are raiders? No, not top five. All right, let's just go simple. Let's just go with the Pats.
Speaker 2:The Patriots yeah, they're number four at $6.7 billion.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, six points with six Super Bowls. Six point four billion. Yeah, seven, six points, seven billion. Sorry, that's number four. All right, let's, oh gosh, do we go back to. It is one of them a New York team.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:I'm going to say the Giants.
Speaker 2:They are at number two. Number two zero four billion dollars and four Super Bowls.
Speaker 1:Geez. Um, that was the only New York team. Yeah, the jets aren't up there.
Speaker 2:The jets are number six. Okay, okay, but we're not asking for number six.
Speaker 1:No, we're not. We're not. I was I, because I follow Gary V and his aim. His goal is to own the jets one one day.
Speaker 2:Well, if he wants to acquire them, he just has to shell over a six point 11 billion dollars for him.
Speaker 1:He's got the money, but they're not willing to sell yet and I don't think he's ready to make that investment. Um, all right, hmm, who else would be there? Um, not the Vikings, definitely not the Vikings. Um, would cult be one of them?
Speaker 2:Indianapolis cults yeah, negative.
Speaker 1:Hmm, okay, okay.
Speaker 2:That's too small of a state.
Speaker 1:Right, uh, I don't want to say the Rams. Is the Rams one of them?
Speaker 2:Rams are one of them. Really, what number? At six point nine. Four billion dollars and two Super Bowls.
Speaker 1:That's yeah. I mean I feel I would have expected parts to be higher than the Rams.
Speaker 2:I don't know Um the Rams. The Rams are in a more Rich estate.
Speaker 1:I would argue but yeah, they're definitely in a richer state. But I just wasn't sure like I feel like parts have been like been around longer.
Speaker 2:No, actually.
Speaker 1:I want to say they've been?
Speaker 2:No, I think it's. I think the Rams have been around a lot longer than the Patriots. Yeah, okay, um, they used to be they, they were the LA Rams, and then they were the St Louis Rams, and then they're back to the St LA Rams.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Well, I I haven't got a huge like knowledge with NFL. I'm just trying to like go from what I've been told in the past and then kind of I know I, yeah, I'll learn a little bit about the previous stuff. Um, gosh, gosh, gosh, gosh. Who else did the Mannings play for other than the Giants? I call?
Speaker 2:it Manning and he played for the Giants. Payton Payton Manning played for the Colts and one other team.
Speaker 1:That's why I said Colts Um one other team as well, oh he only wanted back to take two different teams to multiple Super Bowl appearances. That was almost Tom. He could have done it. He could have done it. He decided to leave.
Speaker 2:And then he came out of retirement and got angry with everyone for not picking up the slack. And then he left again.
Speaker 1:He left again.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Ah, golly you kind of look like you with the, with the injections or injections.
Speaker 1:It looks like I just got pinned in the bum, did it? No, the the buttocks, oh the buttocks. Sorry, gluteus.
Speaker 2:Um the Botox.
Speaker 1:Oh, not the buttocks no.
Speaker 2:No, Tom's not sporting as many wifi bars as you are.
Speaker 1:Oh, we're talking about Tom now, gotcha. Yeah, I thought we were talking about the photo of me. Yeah, he looks, like he looks like he now Okay, okay, oh gosh, who else is there? Um, who else is there? There'll be a big money team. Big money, big, my odd.
Speaker 2:Um Cowboys. Cowboys are number one at 9.2. Yeah, Billion dollars.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know why I would have forgotten that one.
Speaker 2:And I think I know number five.
Speaker 1:Super Bowls, I think I know top the number five. Would it be Denver? No, it's not the Bronx, okay.
Speaker 2:The notice that's on a big city team, that's not a big city state.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just, I don't know Um don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2:Peyton Manning did put them on the map and every year he was there he didn't have a losing season. So he set numerous records there.
Speaker 1:but it's still not it's it's not a big.
Speaker 2:It's not a big state, not a rich state, I would argue, in terms of football.
Speaker 1:Um. Is there another Texas team in there?
Speaker 2:No, it's not the Houston Texans.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Not the the fifth. The fifth one had one of the most heated rivalries and still do uh in the nineties with the Cowboys.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, I wouldn't know Um East or West of us. Western, like, if you draw a line down the middle of America, it's a.
Speaker 2:West Coast team. It's a West Coast team and they're coined for inventing the West Coast offense. Ok, before, before the West Coast offence, it was all about ground and pound, it was all about the run.
Speaker 1:Is it?
Speaker 2:San Fran, san Francisco, 49ers at six point one. Five a billion dollars, yeah right.
Speaker 2:So so in the late 70s and 80s, bill Walsh became the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers and he developed the West Coast offense, which was the short passing game with the security of a run game and so many. He was so innovative. He would be like, look guys. He would say to like the stories are and I've actually got his book, you'll see he'll say to the receivers look, when you run this route and it's on time, there will be no one within 10 yards of you. And all the receivers like oh, yeah, yeah, right, they would catch the ball, brace up and realize that there's no defenders within 10 yards of them. Like one of their most famous plays from memory was in a playoff game or a champion playoff game, I believe. And he threw in tells the Hall of Fame quarterback at the time, joe Montana Look, when he does this crossing route, throw it above his head so that he has to reach for it. And when he jumps, and if he gets it, he gets it, if he doesn't, then it's all good, it just goes out and we get another shot. He thought it down to that detail and they won and yeah, and then that was the 80s. They dominated the 80s with the West Coast offense and then in the 90s.
Speaker 2:That was when there was a huge rivalry between the Cowboys and the 49ers.
Speaker 2:So the Cowboys were still kind of reminiscent of the old days with their run heavy game and Jerry Jones just acquired the team and he was like a gun for hire, he was like a reckless Cowboy, so he was like he. One of the first favorite things that he did was he traded his their star running back, herschel Walker, to the Minnesota Vikings for a plethora of draft picks Multiple number one round first round picks, multiple second round picks and built a team and everyone goes. What's going on here? Why do you trade away this amazing pro baller Hall of Fame running back for all these picks? What are they doing? And then he was really the pioneer for building a team with draft picks. Yeah, so yeah, they had this huge rivalry during the 90s and they were like it was reminiscent of like what's what would be a team that you'd probably be like. It was reminiscent of like no, you probably wouldn't know, let's say, let's say reminiscent of a what's it called Rooster's bunnies rivalry Like they hate each other.
Speaker 2:So it's like not so. And then, yeah, one of their hall it was so funny, one of the Hall of Fame is there's a Hall of Fame player that Dion Sanders, who was a two way threat. He played when he was bored. He would play on the offense as well, but he was a cornerback and he played for. He played for the, he played for both the 49ers and the Cowboys and he won like three Super Bowls or something. Yeah, so there we go, nice, I believe. I believe we got some. I believe we got a little list that we're going to be comparing and discussing. We will.
Speaker 1:We are so just for reference for those I don't know, I'm not trying to, I'm not just justifying it, but I I don't record. Okay, I won't. All right, let's do the lists, okay, okay, oh yeah, it's Clare shift, okay.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Got a message from mum. It's Clare shift, she will be away. I was like, okay, definitely send that to the wrong human. What?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay. So for the obviously this episode is titled if you made it through the NFL talk, which I'm sure you did we are going to be going through our top 10 favorite video games of all time. Of all time. That is everything that we have played until now. Okay, yeah, okay, I've also. I've gone through, like after we go through our lists, I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. People who I also reached out to just to get their top top three and it's an interesting, interesting experiment that I did, because there's a few that overlap and I want to go through them later. But let's go through our top 10 favorite games of all time. We'll go back and forth just like normal, start at number 10 and work our way up to number one. We'll say what it is and, I guess, a couple of reasons around it or why it strikes us the way it did. So would you like to do the honors, my dude?
Speaker 2:I can go first if you want. Yeah, go for it, okay. So when I was thinking about this list, I've played a lot of games and I love a lot of the games I've played. There's very few where I've been pretty disappointed with, but the reason why I've chosen the games I have is because they have been games where I have replayed them multiple times after finishing them.
Speaker 2:So it is like okay, if I play it, say my thinking back. The common trend is if I love the game, I'll keep playing it and replaying it, and replaying it. I don't care, I don't know what's going to happen next, but it's still the joy of playing it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, of course.
Speaker 2:There's been other games where I played it once and then I'm like, oh, there you go, I'm done, I don't need to play it again.
Speaker 1:So are all these based on replayability, or are they okay?
Speaker 2:Yeah, all these games I've completed multiple times and I'm more than happy to go through it again. So I've got some honorable mentions Jedi, fallen Order and Jedi.
Speaker 1:Survivor.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, those are some honorable mentions. Hogwarts Legacy is an honorable mention as well. I haven't finished it. I was too busy clearing out some games on my Xbox because it was full and I, being an idiot, deleted the game so I started all over again. But when I was playing it, yeah, wait you deleted the game.
Speaker 1:Your save content should still be there, right? No, I deleted it.
Speaker 2:I deleted the save content because it was full, right, right, yeah, okay, all good. And then I mean, like some other honorable mentions, is Pokemon Stadium and Donkey Kong 64, some of the old school games. They are honorable mentions but they're not as relevant because I had never finished Donkey Kong 64. And I just played Pokemon Stadium with friends. I never went through it. Story was.
Speaker 1:Yeah, story was.
Speaker 2:So my number 10 is Metal Gear Solid 3 by Hideo Kojima, arguably one of the arguably his most favorite and triumphant pieces of gaming technology and programming and culture. And everything was set in the 60s is very James Bond-ish. But some of the AI he was doing with and some of the maps and some of the platforming and some of the follow on effects of doing stuff was just out of this world. It was so well thought out or so much in detail. And with the Metal Gear Solid games he is so renowned with maximizing, like having a maximalist approach, like some of these cutscenes will be 20 minutes long and I didn't care. I was just like, wow, it's so awesome. Yeah, I played it multiple times. So it's one of those things where I'm like, yeah, this will forever go down as one of my faves of all time Brilliant, brilliant, love it. Well, so far, it may change, yeah, of course.
Speaker 1:So I will give a couple of honorable mentions first, before I hop into my list as well. One of the honorable mentions which I took out of the list purely because it's it's subject, I guess, and that is the the original classic runescape, because it's not really, it's a, it's a MMO, it's kind of like it's an ongoing game and it has its ups and downs. But through throughout my time those who are aware I played this game religiously, like there were times where I sat down for like a 36 hour stint of just playing this game. The only reason I would get up was to go grab food or pee or poo. I guess I don't remember my bowel schedule then, but it yeah, so many hours sunk into it and it brought me and some friends together, which is always special. And another honorable mention is Pokemon Legends, arceus, because they changed things up when people were thinking that Pokemon was getting stale. They changed things up and it the story absolutely slaps. They changed up the game. It's like it was targeted towards. Someone who had grown up with the series, was ready for a change and they, yeah, they flipped the switch and people were once again captivated by it.
Speaker 1:Honorable mention, obviously, because both those games are absolutely amazing in my eyes, but number 10, we have a PlayStation 2 game. This is none other than SmackDown verse Raw 2005. Of course, this game had the career mode on. This game was absolutely banging, but my absolute love for it comes from playing with some friends. Every, every morning, on a weekend, we would have had the knock on my window. I'd open it up. There'd be three or four of my friends from the street that all just jumped through my window into my bedroom, turn the PS2 on and we'd just be, would play for for hours and hours and hours. We would like have our own created characters and we would just go up against each other. I mean, I've had some of the best times I've had in my life were sitting in that bedroom playing at SmackDown verse Raw 2005. Yeah, very meaningful to me, very meaningful.
Speaker 2:Not bad, not bad, very good, very good. What's your number nine? My number nine is Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Valhalla is very cool. Another Maximilis game. Everyone complained about how long the story was it was like 60 hours or something stupid. But I really dig deep. I thought it was awesome.
Speaker 2:It was awesome. Yeah, like I thought like it was a really good. What's the best way to describe it? I just loved it. There was so many cool things about it. Being a Viking is really cool. The story was very awesome in IMO. I personally digged it. It was a new. It was part of the kind of reboot of how you should play Assassin's Creed, but you know you're just like, oh my, this is a lot of fun. I just love the maximalist nature of it and what you can do being a Viking and all that stuff, and the story is very rewarding to me. So very good.
Speaker 1:My number nine comes from the PlayStation one. This game brought me and my brother together. It is Digimon World.
Speaker 1:It's just called Digimon World. I don't know if you ever played it, but this game, man, so much fun. It was ahead of its time For PlayStation one. You could go like you would have a Digimon with you at all times. You'd raise him from the baby, You'd get him to evolve. There was so much of the map to explore. There was a fishing aspect of it and those who know me know that I love fishing in games. Not fishing games, but fishing in games. Not like pro bass, hunter or whatever they those fishing games, but yeah, just like games that have a fishing aspect.
Speaker 2:Dig it, Dig it hard so every say, every Pokemon game.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, yeah, every Pokemon game that has a fishing aspect.
Speaker 2:Apart from being Pokemon. Yeah, yeah, it's like Pokemon. And then a very, very close second is the fishing aspect.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I love it. And yeah, as I said, that game brought me and my brother together. It was one of our common interests growing up and I remember sitting and watching him play and then we took turns. Simply we had our own memory cards obviously sticky memory card in. We play my file for a bit and then his dick is in. Play his file for a bit. It was a good time. It's a good time.
Speaker 2:Pretty good, pretty good. Okay, my number Eight yes, ain't it great is Melgiosolid five. This is a huge change from the Melgiosolid games, of what we knew. If you were a fan, a lot of it wasn't. There wasn't a maximalist idea to it now, because they were experimenting with Mocap and facial capture and everything. So in Melgiosolid to Melgiosolid four, there was all these huge 15, 20 minute cut scenes.
Speaker 2:Oh, excuse me 15, 20 minute cut scenes and they, you know, like that would tell the whole story. And the reason behind that was because, whenever the actors, the director, hideo Kojima, would always say you know, because of the limitations of it, you'd have to have these extended cuts, extended conversations, to kind of get your point across, where, when they're experimenting with Mocap in Melgiosolid five, instead of saying you know, are you? Instead of saying something like because, are you all right, they would just say because, and then that would imply you know, oh, are you all right?
Speaker 2:You know, so the cut scenes were a lot shorter, but the story was deeply integrated deeply, there's so much water with it. And again he changed the way espionage games should be played and how they should. What the base is, you know, and I've played this multiple times, and the only reason it's not higher because I do believe it is the best game out of all the Melgiosolid games is it's because it's an unfinished game.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:It is widely known that there was a whole third act that was meant to happen and they were like oh no, you're taking too long, you need to need to release it now. And Hideo is like no, it's not finished. And he's they're like the production company is like we don't care and he's like well, fine, I don't work here anymore. And there was a huge falling out. So, oh, alicia, yeah, so like it's so well known that there's meant to be a third act that kind of ties everything together. But they didn't want to wait that long. So you got remnants of it and there's just bits of there's Easter eggs. But you're like I could use this, but you can't. Because you can't, because it's not a complete game.
Speaker 1:Yeah, fair enough. Fair enough, my number eight comes from the Nintendo 64. This game not only had a wicked good multiplayer mode, but the single player mode. The actual storyline was incredible, and that is Conker's bad for a day.
Speaker 2:Oh, I thought you were going to say like Mortal Kombat or something.
Speaker 1:No, no, conker's, bad for a day. On 64, banjo Kazooie. No, that was no, that was a good game, but no, I think the first MA 15 plus, yeah, yeah, nintendo 64, game that I ever played, or game I ever played even, and it man. As soon as, as soon as I heard the squirrels in the game swearing, I thought myself yo, this is, this is a game.
Speaker 2:Let's go.
Speaker 1:Let's go. Yeah, like you end up fighting like a giant poo monster, Obviously graphically. Yeah, it's a giant poo, except I believe it's called the giant poo.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sounds crap.
Speaker 1:And, yeah, like the story itself, you had so many things, so many different areas, like worlds, you kind of call them. Stop pulling that face. But the part that I guess got me the most is, once again, the multiplayer aspect of it. Spending time with friends playing this game would be like either you could be the, the squirrels or the teddies, or you could use cheats and cheats, cheats, cheats, ch, eats and use some of the characters that weren't obtainable normally.
Speaker 1:But the thing is games. Back then they obviously the cheat codes were made by the people, right? Yeah, it was like there was a menu in the main menu called cheats. So you're going to there, you type in the code, which you only found out from word of mouth, because no one not everyone had like the magazines that you could buy and the internet wasn't prevalent back then.
Speaker 1:So it was just a matter of just like. If you're, if your friend knew the cheat, brilliant. But yeah, like I still go through the sounds in my head of the teddies taking out the squirrels with with Katana's, I'll give you a bit of a bit of a sound capture for it, because I know you sure that's not you.
Speaker 2:Sure that's not Zelda.
Speaker 1:No, 100%. They like slicing their heads off these squirrels. Blood going everywhere, well, the way man, so much fun. There was a level on the single player mode, and I believe it's a mode on the multiplayer as well, which is like capture the flag, except it's called the beach and it is like my right and saying Gallipoli. I don't know my history that well, my wars, Gallipoli beach.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Gallipoli beach? Where beach where they had to? No, I don't know.
Speaker 2:No, norman, normandy Beach.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, where. Like the Germans, is it the? What is there? Maybe the game just like created a fake war, but there was a war in the game where the squirrels are trying to march up the beach to the evil teddies, who were very reminiscent of the Nazis. That was a beach in that Nazi war.
Speaker 2:Yes, that was, that was World War Two. Yeah, yeah, there is Gallipoli beach as well, and then there's Normandy Beach, with the Americans advancing against the Germans Right right up the beach.
Speaker 1:Yeah, up a beach.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a beach and yeah, well, there's a scene in the game where you're marching up the beach and you can see, like at the end you see, like the big castle, it's got like the, the red sign with like the black logo on it. They like you know it was a swastika, but it wasn't a swastika, but you knew it was. Yeah, yeah, and just the way that, like a video game from Nintendo 64 could just do that and get away with it like it's on, it'd be unheard of now, absolutely unheard of. But yeah, great game. That is my number eight.
Speaker 2:Oh, very good, very good, very good. Ok, number seven, and you could argue this will be a controversial one, but my reasoning behind it, I stand by it and I don't care is the last of us.
Speaker 1:Oh OK.
Speaker 2:Now, the reason why it's number seven is it's the first game and that's about it really.
Speaker 1:No, it's awesome.
Speaker 2:As we, as we, as we all know and we've talked about in the past. It's just an amazing game. Yeah, stories captivating, and you invest so much time and effort into it. You really do feel like you're Joel and only Joel, until you play Ellie and then you're back to Joel and then you know just the whole time you're like, oh, my goodness, what's going to happen? And yeah, yeah it is. If you haven't played it, you need to play it. And this is a game I've played multiple times and every single time I still get invested in. Every single time I almost shared the man, tears and, yeah, really good P arts in it. That's my number seven.
Speaker 1:Very nice, very nice. My number seven is a PC game, sims. No, it's Age of.
Speaker 2:Empires 2. I was going to say Age of Empires 2. And then I was like let's go with Sims.
Speaker 1:No, Sims isn't actually on my list, although I do enjoy playing Sims Age of Empires 2, I think did number one better. People think number three is the best one in the series.
Speaker 2:Could you buy number three if you bought a Kellogg's?
Speaker 1:new chain cereal box. No, you could not.
Speaker 2:No, you could not. That's why I'm the best.
Speaker 1:You could also get the number one as well, but no number two. It was pretty much number one, like pretty much number one, but with added content. That just made it better. Number three I feel like over complicated things because you had your hero and it's just too much for me. I like the simplicity of number two and the many, many, many hours of playing this game.
Speaker 2:And to go to go back over the part where we just you just glossed over it. It was while that you can get the full game for a cost of a cereal box.
Speaker 1:Which back then cereal was a lot cheaper. I believe it was like three bucks for a massive box. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So the fact you can get the full game with everything in it for three dollars was wild, wild.
Speaker 1:Now absolutely.
Speaker 2:Now I just need to quickly look this up.
Speaker 1:Why are you looking that up? I, the way I played this game usually if I was playing by myself, actually, even with friends, if we were playing with friends, we would like work out a treaty where, like you can't attack each other for the first hour of gameplay. Um, and I would be hardcore resource developing, like I'd be, I'd be getting the, I'd be chopping trees for the hell of chopping trees to clear my land so I can use that money. I would like, if I was lacking in gold, you better believe I had like 100,000 trees I could, would, I could sell because I'd top so many trees, man, man, oh man, and then, like I, would create these maps because you could do a full map creator in that game where everyone was in like the corner of their, like of the of the, like four people, one person in the corner of every corner of the square, and the rest of the land was just trees.
Speaker 1:To get food, you had to sell your wood and then to get gold and stone, you had to sell your wood. So you are chopping trees till the, till the, till the, till the cows come home. Except there was no cows, because it was only trees, only trees, and this is also one of the first games where our land parties became a big thing for me. We would all take our laptops or computers around to each other, the houses, and all think up vile land and play Age of Empires too, still looking for the game.
Speaker 2:Well OK, Um, oh, that doesn't help me. I cannot seem to find it. I was going to ask you what was the storage of the original age of empires?
Speaker 1:Oh, the size of it. Yeah, as of the game, well, it was on a CD. I'm going to go out in a limb and say, oh, the T6 megabytes.
Speaker 2:Hmm.
Speaker 1:Thirty eight megabytes I wouldn't have a clue.
Speaker 2:It's not. I can't find it anywhere.
Speaker 1:Did you Google what was the storage or what was the megabytes?
Speaker 2:And in case coming up with 15 gig. But that's like the 4K texture.
Speaker 1:If any of the dishes type stuff.
Speaker 2:So yeah, um Storage for Windows 95.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, it might be more than that actually, because a CD can hold 700 megabytes of data. It said 300 megabytes, yeah, ok.
Speaker 2:That's a three right. That was a big game.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, speaking of big games, I it's not on my list, but I think I mentioned the game before. It's a game called Lero. It's pretty much not mentioned. Ok, it's pretty much worms, except it's just a 2D Like the worm is just like a red pick, like five pixels shaped in like a worm, shape Like and snake.
Speaker 2:Ah, no, no, five pixels like quite small and it's just dirt, is just there's just 300 gigs.
Speaker 1:No, you dig. No, you could fit on a floppy disk. Oh, so it's less than 3.94 meg, is it?
Speaker 2:Why did you imply that speaking of large games? Because that's what you said it is. It is Speaking of large games. I don't know if I've mentioned that, leroy.
Speaker 1:I'm going to, right, I'm going to. I've got a video ready to show you after the stream. Ok, stream, what's it called A recording podcast?
Speaker 2:What is your number six? Speaking of streams, how come flies don't stream on Twitch?
Speaker 1:I'm not going to finish the joke.
Speaker 2:Oh, we'll leave it in suspense. Ok my number six is a new game, Armored Course Six by From Software, the Mech Game that has just come out. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1:Wow, that's amazing. Made it number six in your list.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and the reason why I would say it's higher than the last of us is because there's been a hot minute since I played the last of us and I have a secret love of mech genre, of the mech genre, and this is everything a mech game should be it is responsive, it is fast you think in 3D space, because you got boosters and flights, momentum. The story itself may be 15 hours, but where the big gameplay aspect of it is the amount of tinkering and loadouts and combinations and style of gameplay it offers you. That's where the big thing comes in. There are so many people that have created these crazy combinations and crazy loadouts and there's just so many different ways of playing. You can play as a basic, basic aspect of it. You can play as a light, medium or heavy mech and then on the light mech you can have different types of weapons and different types of melee weapons.
Speaker 2:There's just so many aspects to it and the story is actually really, really good. It's very ambiguous. I dig that, but it is a soft reboot. That is just killing it for me and it's the first from software game where I've actually finished a from software game. They are renowned for being excruciatingly hard these games, and this is the first one. I played through it twice. I'm on my third play through, you know, because you got because you got three endings that you can do.
Speaker 1:Oh, ok, that makes sense. It makes sense. Yeah, that's sick. My number six is a game that was actually in your honorable mentions. It is Hogwarts Legacy.
Speaker 2:Number one. Your number one is not going to be Pokemon Go, is it no, no no. Is it number two?
Speaker 1:No, pokemon goes not on the list, because I don't think it is. It's not, firstly, it's not my top 10 favorite games, but I don't think it deserves a spot on that list at all, because it's not the sort of game that I have on the list Like this. Why I didn't have RuneScape on the list? Um yeah, hogwarts Legacy. I'm a massive Harry Potter fan, obviously. Um, yes, harry Potter One on PlayStation One absolute banger of a game. I love me some, some pixelated Hagrid the two chips Pixel of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So those yeah, those who know me know that I love Harry Potter like a lot. I delve so far into the lore um of the games and then, when they announce Hogwarts Legacy, it is the reason I got a PS5. It is the number one reason why I obtained the PS5. And it's the game did not disappoint man.
Speaker 1:The combat was like from a game that involves using spells and wands and stuff. The combat was just perfected in my eyes. The story itself, the fact that it happened right like that. Everything happened prior to like Dumbledore being born, even, and they talk about like the goblin rebellion in the movies and the books and stuff, and then that's actually what we're seeing Ragnar and the goblin rebellion and stuff. It's just it put that all into perspective for me, like I've always wanted to see what's in the Slytherin common room. It's been described to me via book. We've seen a glimpse of it in Prisoner of Azkaban, I mean Chamber of Secrets, but we never actually delve too far into it. The Hufflepuff common room golly gosh, the way that you can customize the room of requirement. You can go out there and capture beasts. The only downfall to this game is there's no Quidditch. But they obviously told us why. Yeah, but yeah, I mean, I don't think the game needed Quidditch. There's so much to do in the game. I still haven't 100% completed it. Absolutely insane.
Speaker 2:Is that something you're going to?
Speaker 1:do, I will eventually. You want to do? Yeah, I do want to. I do want to. Whether or not I will do it soon or in a year, who knows, but it's on the list and that is my number six.
Speaker 2:Very good, this short break is bored you by our non-existent sponsor and we're back. Okay, my number five yes, yep, the Peepsy Max.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's busy.
Speaker 2:Oh that's busy Speaking of carbonate beverages, I've been delving into the Franklin's sparkling mineral water, the Mount Franklin ones yeah, mount Franklin ones. I've got the lime flavor. I must admit it's a lot better than Lacroix. I know that much. Lacroix Lacroix, yeah, it is a lot better. It's not, it's not urine, it's not fizzy urine like Lacroix. It's actually got a bit of flavoring to it. It's not, it's just a subtle flavor. It's good, I like it. My number five is God of War, ragnarok. Okay, okay, it is a fantastic sequel and sum up of Kratos' time in Norse mythology. Amazing gameplay, amazing story. Captivates you from the get-go. It is, it does what a sequel should be and it does what a series finale should be. It's just amazing, brilliant. Have you played it? I have not.
Speaker 2:Have you played the God of War reboot.
Speaker 1:I have not. The only God of War game I dabbled in was, I believe, god of War II. Oh yeah, and that was a hot minute ago. Ps2, I think from memoirs From memoirs. Yeah, it was a long time ago. Yeah, I don't know what console it was. It probably was PS2, but it was a long time ago. My number five is a Grand Theft Auto game. It is none other than the.
Speaker 1:PS2 classic San Andreas man. This game. This game was like. The story in this game was unrivaled by any GTA game I've ever played. They put so much in this story. It was the first time where you play it as an African-American character and they went full gangster, full gangster. They did. Didn't they Like gangster shoot-ups? You'd tag things. That was one of the first games I ever 100% completed. Every single stunt jump done. Every single oyster collected. Every single spray paint tagged. Every single horseshoe collected, everything done. The customisation on some of the cars only some of them, because you only can do it on some of them was just next level For a game that did introduce a multiplayer version of it where you could have, I believe, up to two or three other people in the game with you, man, that game. I could go on for actual hours about this game but I won't because we don't want to be here for that long. But it is number five on my list.
Speaker 2:I like it. The castle. Okay, okay, all top four, here we go, here we go. My top number four in favorite games of all time is God of War, the reboot, the reboot. Yes, I remember seeing this and I was like, oh, another God of War game, was it the reboot?
Speaker 1:on PS4?.
Speaker 2:Yep, yeah, okay. I was like, oh, oh, another God of War game. How many games could they be doing this? And they moved away from the fixed camera, a hack and slash him to the story driven, character building, arc infusing, wondrous game that is God of War and the relationship between father and son, the gameplay, the mythology, the cinematic set pieces, how the whole game can be played as if it's just one continuous shot as well. That's really cool. There's no load scenes.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Just move between it all and is higher than God of War Ragnarok because, as I said, is a great God of War, ragnarok is a great finale, but you wouldn't have that without this reboot and this is really something special. So fair enough, fair enough, and I played it through multiple times, like four or five times, and I still don't get bored of it.
Speaker 1:That's good. That's what you want in a game.
Speaker 1:My number four is a game that you've already mentioned. This is the first time other than the Hogwarts Legacy one. The last of us is my number four game. Because of the pure nostalgia of the game when I first played through, it became my one of my favorite games of all time. The story playing through is Joel playing through? Is Ellie playing through as a random lady? That doesn't happen. I've only played through it once, but that once is still enough. I probably will play through it again at some point, but it was just everything. A game should be story wise. I think it was probably one of the first times I actually got emotionally attached to characters.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And that is my number four. We've spoken about it like loads before, so I don't want to delve too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we don't need to rehash what we've already said. If you can't remember what we said, you should go through our episodes again and see what we said. Yeah, do it, do it you won't.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I bet you won't, because they're scared. They are scared.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying? I'm looking at the camera. You're scared Listeners. You are chicken, Classic white people. You won't listen to these other ones.
Speaker 1:Classic white people.
Speaker 2:Classic whiteies.
Speaker 1:What is your number three man?
Speaker 2:One, number three, and it was a tough number three, but I'm happy with it. The last of us, part two, okay, okay. The reason why I'm happy with this is because I just love the themes that it was portraying and the story was captivating A lot more captivating than the first one, and I think you finished as well. And when you play the first one, you go yes, this is amazing. But you play the second one, you go whoa, this is like in a lot of ways better and that's like probably sacrilege to say that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah I personally think it's better.
Speaker 1:It's on another level.
Speaker 2:It's on a very different level and you obviously can only understand if you play the first one. I mean you could probably play the second one, you could probably play part two Even after watching the last of our series. Like it's the last of our series is pretty switched on in a sense. But like part two, so incredible, so many hard hitting themes that they just nail. And like a lot of people are like, oh, I don't like this game. It's like, well, you know, everything doesn't have to have an happy ending in the big picture.
Speaker 2:So it's true, amazing balls.
Speaker 1:Absolutely, absolutely. I respect it.
Speaker 2:Is that your number?
Speaker 1:three. No, no, my number three is a. We're bouncing back to a PlayStation one game here.
Speaker 2:Brandtrues money.
Speaker 1:No, this is Spyro Year of the Dragon Yeet, yeet. Sorry, this might be a PS2 game. Actually no, ps1 came out in the year 2000. I believe that's PS1 still. Yeah, spyro Year of the Dragon man. I love all the Spyro games so much, except for Skylanders.
Speaker 2:I don't know if you call that a Spyro game or not, but speaking of Skylanders, do you remember that TV show back in the day called Skyland?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:No, did you ever watch TV? Did you ever watch like cartoons and stuff after school?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was like CGI and it was on these floating islands and it was like sorcery and there was pirates.
Speaker 1:It's kind of ringing a bell.
Speaker 2:And like, one of the big things about like I remember, is like the monolith tower that's floating around in it and you've got like yeah, like a, almost like a I don't know Like. I just remember thinking it was so.
Speaker 1:Is it kind of like kind of anime style?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just remember. Oh, maybe Show the screen. Show the screen for me.
Speaker 1:Show the screen. I mean this is it, but I've never said it before.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I just remember it being like watching that and then watching that and going, wow, these animations are out of this world.
Speaker 1:I can't believe things look like this. This is crazy.
Speaker 2:And then you see the animations, you see the CGI used in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie and you go. Well, I'm so glad we have progressed in life, yeah.
Speaker 1:I was never a big Power Rangers man. Obviously no, you ever see the movie. No, probably I couldn't tell you what happens in the movie.
Speaker 2:There's a funny scene where the white parrot arranger has a sword and it can like fly around and everything, and basically he throws this sword like a boomerang, like so there's these enemies on the ground, these bad guys on the ground, and he throws this sword like a boomerang and it spins around, and it spins around all the enemies and then, okay, so the inner construction site, they have it. They're fighting in a construction site and these enemies are on the ground and the white power ranger throws his sword and it does like this boomerang thing around these bad guys and then spins up to this crane where it's got a skip attached to it and the sword shoots lasers out of its eyes to drop the skip on top of the bad guys. The white power ranger uses a sword for everything except to kill the bad guys properly. Yeah, it's the silliest thing in the world, it's so good. Okay, my number two Death Stranding.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:Amazing game, very hideoke-agema, very maximalist, like I play it and I've sunk nearly probably 180 hours into when I still haven't completed it. The story is captivating, the environment is captivating, the choices and songs are captivating, like there's a stillness and quietness about it that's just very soothing and relaxing. The sounds it makes when you're walking along and just everything about it is very cool. It's one of those games where you either love it or you hate it, because it's very hideoke-agema, so very hideoke-agema. So you either love it or you hate it, and I love it. It is such an amazing game to me.
Speaker 1:My number two comes from my favorite franchise of all time. This is the Pokemon game. This is Pokemon Emerald. Oh, emerald, pokemon Emerald. On the PlayStation. Yeah, on the PlayStation. On the Game Boy Advance. I own the Game Boy Advance SP back in the day. I still own one, but not the same one, and this is probably the first game that I've ever sunk more than a thousand hours into. I remember hitting 500 hours and I'm gonna ask my friends like how much time you sunk in this game and we're like they were like on another level, like 600, 700, 800.
Speaker 2:I was like whoa, I have some catch up to do and yeah, like. So what happened if you did everything? Was there a thing where you could do everything on the game, like you catch every Pokemon, you beat every battle, you get all the items or anything like that? Like, did it kind of have? Did anything happen when there was no? So, because what else could you be doing around the five to 600 hour mark? What were you doing?
Speaker 1:Training up different Pokemon to verse each other. You go through the the. This is the first game that had like a really good battle frontier where it was like post game. You can go to this battling area and try and battle the different. There was four different battle frontier parts. It was like the battle park, the battle pyramid, the battle tower, the battle something else, the dance battle, and then you would like have to battle things to get through it. You get to the boss, you got to beat the boss, but you can continue going, and who can get like the longest streak of battling? Like even if you went in there with like night through six level 100 Mewtus or whatever, there was no chance you were going to win it, like it was just it was such a fun game and I'm so nostalgic about it. But yeah, my number two Pokemon, emerald.
Speaker 2:I can't believe Pokemon.
Speaker 1:Go was an honorable mention or run escape or Sims Runescape was an honorable mention or worms I didn't play worms a lot.
Speaker 2:Oh, is it worms? What's the other one? Probably is worms when you get from point A to point B. Is it worms? Like stages and you use like rockets to blow the paths up and build bridges and everything.
Speaker 1:And there's a part A to part B. Like you got from like the entrance Point.
Speaker 2:A to point B no, I've never heard of it.
Speaker 1:Worms game. It might be like a worms game, but all the worms games I know is where you're placed on a map with like 10 or so other worms and you do turn by turn, to try and shoot a missile each other, or each other flamethrower, or basically kill each other, and you only have a certain amount of movement and weapon usage per turn. Hmm, I don't remember that being like a point A to point B game, but what is your number one, my dude?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's what I remember with worms, but I swear there was another one where.
Speaker 1:You're not thinking of the birthworm Jim? Maybe Because that's a good game, but I also don't believe that's a point A to point B.
Speaker 2:No, I just remember that it would be like there's just this unlimited amount of worms that come through and you just blow up things and build bridges and stuff to get from point A to point B.
Speaker 1:There might have been a version of worms. They came out with a lot of worms games.
Speaker 2:My number one is Ghost of Tsushima. It is an amazing game that I feel like does Japanese culture justice. It's very incredible. Both the dub and the Japanese dub is amazing. The voice actors are amazing. The story is amazing. The arc of Jin Sakai is amazing. You can choose a bad and a good arc. It's not really a spoiler, it's just. It is what it is. Well, not a bad or a good arc, just more like a Just the story, just the journey he goes on is incredible and it's the only game to date where I've flattened it.
Speaker 1:I've flattened the game.
Speaker 2:The amount of times I've played through that bad boy is so many, and the graphics are awesome, the scenery is awesome. The photo mode is awesome. It's one of the only games where I take full advantage of photo mode, because it encourages you to do that. You can have dynamic photos or videos of low, medium, high velocity winds going through the grass or the leaves or anything. Everything about it is just incredible. It's really something where, from my point of view, I'm like wow, this is Japanese culture and it's awesome that so many people dig it, and not because it's anime and waifu crap or idols or music or Is there waifu stuff in there?
Speaker 2:No, there isn't. It's all feudal Japan era stuff and I'm just like, wow, this is so incredible. And it's so incredible that the Japanese government made the presence of Sucker Punch the guys that created the production company, the development company that created Ghost of Tsushima honorary ambassadors for Japan, because of how much awareness and everything that did for Japan is such an amazing game and I reckon if you ever played it you'd be like, wow, this is awesome. Source.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, I'll probably have to Do you still have it, or?
Speaker 2:I've got the director's cut of it.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:I'm PS5.
Speaker 1:I might get to the shops on the weekend and see how much it is. Yeah, yeah, okay, okay. My number one is the Last of Us, part 2. I thought so. That game was absolutely incredible, man, for all the reasons you said, plus more everything about it the way that they delve into a story that was seemingly I'm not, seemingly finished, but they could have just finished it there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I left it open.
Speaker 1:They left it open and it just oh man, man, the heartbreak I thought this is going to be a spoiler in like 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. When Joel dies, obviously heartbreak. And then, throughout the game, you're growing, you're growing, you're growing. Then you'd have to play along as the chick that kills Joel. Well, it has him killed, I don't know I remember if she did it. Yeah, she did. She golf clubbed him, yeah, and then so, like you feel the animosity, like I don't want to play it through as this bitch, what am I doing? And then you grow to love the Like I did. Anyway, the character development in this game is next level Because you play it and you go.
Speaker 2:It's justified from her point of view. Yeah, unfortunately, it's justified, legit. But then she's like I don't know why I did this. Yeah, the game, she did it. And then you were just like, well, should I have done it, like she. Just she's just like torn over the idea. It didn't give her satisfaction.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then it falls back on Ellie and it doesn't give her satisfaction as well.
Speaker 1:It's like it's just a downward spiral of hatred and negativity, like when the scenes happen you know you're like when the scenes happened towards what seemingly was the end, when Ellie is there with our old mates and they have a baby which obviously isn't Ellie's but it doesn't matter, it's the Asian cars.
Speaker 1:They have a baby, they're on this land. You think, okay, nice, peaceful end. And then like the horror well, the flashback horror scene in the shed or the barn when she's trying to run up the sheep, and she goes into this like Joel, dying stuff again, ptsd.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the PTSD hits hard and I thought, oh no, we're not done here. And then she ended up leaving, like obviously she left. And then there's a whole other part of the game that you play and like what the heck? Then you end up coming across, coming across the girl again and thinking, oh, oh she's. She's not in a good way, she's hanging up here, she's pretty much dead. The fight scene in the ocean, just man, man, oh man, oh man. And then it cuts back to Ellie. Well, once all that ends, like you're back as Ellie on the ranch, obviously it's deserted, no one's home because she left and whatever happened happened and she plays the song. Man, she picks up the guitar, she's just, it's man, it's oh man. That game, that game makes me feel things, yep. So that is our top 10 favorite games of all time to date. Maybe in a few years time we'll make this list again or flash back on this list and see if things have changed with any new games coming out or anything like that.
Speaker 1:And, as I said at the start, I did reach out to some, some people and just, kind of quick fire, asked them top three games of all time, of your favorite games. Well, what are they? A previous host, a previous guest that we had on the podcast, the honorary chef. We have Ocarina of Time, pokemon Emerald and Halo one. We have another fans sister Sims for Animal Crossing, pocket camp that is, and Pokemon Diamond. Then I asked another friend RuneScape Classic, modern Warfare 2, Tony Hawk, 4. I asked our resident gamer what her top three would be. Pokemon Emerald is up there, number one, and she's hit and run and fall out. She couldn't pinpoint which fall out Someone else GTA 5, number one, followed by Minecraft and NBA 2K14. I asked someone else and they said Pokemon Silver is number one, then Ocarina of Time, then Final Fantasy 7. And then we've got another one Rugby 08, modern Warfare 2, and then the game it takes to. Yeah, we have another resident gamer whose favorite game is Azure Dreams, followed by the Witcher 3, and then God of War, the remake, the one on PS4. Yep, the reboot.
Speaker 1:We've got someone else with Baldur's Gate 3, followed by Breath of the Wild, followed by Pokemon Yellow. Then we have another person Baldur's Gate 3, overwatch. Tomb Raider Couldn't decide on which one Good. Another person Baldur's Gate 3, fable, azure, empires 3. And we have someone else who went Neverspeed Underground 2. What a banger. That was Very nice, followed by Simpsons Hit and Run and World of Warcraft. So they are all a couple of. Actually they've all listened to the podcast, so they're all a guest fans.

I'll frothing it, frothing, absolutely frothing Anyhoo's it's, though we are going to get the heckles out of here.
Speaker 2:My recommendation is to drink water. Peace out.
Speaker 1:His recommendation is to drink water. My recommendation is to drink. Not drink is to play a game called Parliar. It is such a cosy game. It does in fact have a fishing aspect in it. It is a multiplayer, online massive game, mmorpg where you level up your skills. It's very reminiscent of Stardew Valley. It's got a bit of a runescape vibe to it. No PVP, it's just purely cosiness, relationship building. It's more Stardew slash Sims than anything else. But yeah, as I said, we're going to get the heck out of here. Don't forget to follow us on socials. Follow Angus at Dark Horse Barbering or whatever one he's going by at the moment. You can follow myself at Frickin' Chocolate and you can follow Zippodcast at the Duncan and Angus show. But we are going to get up out of here. Peace out, love you all, love you Bye, see you Bye, see you Bye, see you Bye, see you Bye, see you Bye.
