Formal is one of those people that somehow manages to run the room without being the loudest one in it. He commands such a consistently relaxed vibe, no wonder he is such a valuable asset to an eSports team regardless of the game. Great podcast this week 👌
Formals story in the beginning about getting on his brothers xbox was real talk man. Growing up trying to squeeze in as much gametime as possible after school or waking up early af just to hop on and get a few matches in, that pure excitement of a new game dropping and putting in every possible hour. 360 days were the best years of gaming.
What Formal said about the CoD Community is true. It amazes me how you can nuke a 6-man multiple times but as soon as they have a game where they finally beat you those guys will call you trash and every word and book and they completely forget that you nuked them 6 or 7 times.
I really enjoyed this. Anything with Formal just feels like you’re sitting there in the room with them. Appreciate y’all and the content y’all put out.
I can relate when Nick said growing up with Halo 2 was like starting a drug addiction with Crack, I got my first online experience with Gears 2 and Cod 4, then really started grinding with MW2 as a prime teenager. I miss the old days 🥲
I feel like a big part of us respecting halo pros growing up was because of MLG. Halo was its baby and they did a good job promoting the pros in it. Walshy, Ogre twins, Tsquared, etc were viewed as living legends back in the 2000’s.
You have to understand that developers usually have very fluid time off. At my company in fintech, most of us save some of our PTO (like a month or two weeks) and use it at the end of the year. It's just common for people to want to use their PTO before the end of the year, especially during he holidays
Hitch said Drake’s been doing it for so long and then said you can go back to like 2010. 🤦♀️ A little context GTA 5 was released just 3 years later than that. 13 yrs is not that long in the game
10:20 hitch talking about pre-teens playing Val and checking their shop but imagine CSGO. You've got several people going pro at 15-16. Hell, at 16 (!) m0nesy got bought out from Navi for 600k, and went on to win a tier 1 tournament and get ranked #7 player of the year all in the same year. Jimpphat just debuted for Mouz yesterday at 16 even. Add on to that the gambling years of the mid 2010s and the absolutely blow up of skin prices last few years and it's insane the things that gamers are exposed to at a young age compared to non-gamers
Man Niac, did you just chuck your two pups together and expect them to get along automatically? That can happen, but it's not guaranteed by any means with any species of animal. Big risk not taking it slow, they should stay separated through a puppy gate for a couple weeks at least to prevent any trauma for either of them. Important to do research on the best introduction process
Yo Maniac, you should check out Kava Kava (the real stuff, bula kava house is close to tx iirc) for your nerves. It's basically changed my life in regards to alcohol and anxiety. Used to drink 2-3 tall cans a night, often more, in combo with a couple dabs, but since picking up kava I have fully cut out alcohol and gotten to the point where I only sip on a cup of kava if my anxiety is bad. Not for everybody, but after watching so many of your podcasts your mental health symptoms feel like a carbon copy of how mine used to be. Added bonus of it tasting like shit, so the temptation of using it frequently is not exactly appealing (I've got a VERY addictive personality as well)
Certain Affinity is the studio that's been working for a long time now this 'big new mode' for Halo Infinite that could be the new BR. i'm not sure how many people at 343i are actually directly working on it, from what i've heard CA is owning it
Having Our Way - Drake and Migos. "Think watchin' too much of Stephen done got to me S too eas', I'm servin' up by the threes I'm playin' pool in the pool just connects to the beach I've been too solid to ever have stripes on my sneak's, you get what I mean?"

Hitch straight up deserves so much more credit, the guy is involved and active with optic a lot more than people see.
Formal needs his own show with a floating supporting cast of just dashy maniac Seth and Damon also would love to see a formal and shottzy convo
YES
100%, this would be dope
best show of all time if it happens
Not fw hitch bro? Lmaoo

This was so awesome. Loved hearing Formal talk about Halo and COD. Pretty cool to learn a little bit about his childhood.
I like this new wave of the flycast… keep ‘em comin
Love when formul is on any optic podcast please get him on more if he wants to

“You rode him to victory?” God I missed Formal 😂 41:27
Always loved watching formals stream back from the dynasty days and still do
Scump episode would be a banger. Been enjoying the podcasts though love how frequent the episodes come out now 💪🏾
Ok.....im gunna say it, the Flycast has consistently been better than the regular Optic podcast for awhile now. And the guests have been great
@59:01 "so why did you like...start talking shit?" with the therapist voice got me lmao. H4F
one of my favorite flycast episodes! Formal and Niac are comedy
I SEE FORMAL I PRESS LIKE
Maaaaaaan!!! I've been re-watching all the old podcasts that formal was on. Super pumped to have him on here again. H4FxBtH 💚
I can relate when Nick said growing up with Halo 2 was like starting a drug addiction with Crack, I got my first online experience with Gears 2 and Cod 4, then really started grinding with MW2 as a prime teenager. I miss the old days 🥲
"i don't even know what they are keeping it doing" LOOOOOOOOOOL
I’m from SoCal, I can totally confirm that OC is like what Formal describes. I was Born and raised in OC.
Bro I am fucking crying at Maniac @ 40:25 got to be one of the funniest stories on the podcast ever😂
Missed Fromal, hope hes doing good
love when formals on podcasts could listen to him talk for days
Nothing Was The Same by far my most favorite album!
I feel like a big part of us respecting halo pros growing up was because of MLG. Halo was its baby and they did a good job promoting the pros in it. Walshy, Ogre twins, Tsquared, etc were viewed as living legends back in the 2000’s.
2 birds one stone. 5am in Toronto. Summer Sixteen.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you fellas.
Iv been back on that November 18th Drake jam for a min now.
343 killed my love for halo
i like seeing Formal. Dude is my favorite optic player
“You rode him to victory “ that’s od 💀😭

Finally, some good OpTic content with Formal 🤟
And there it is, formal was playing a game while playing beer pong
“I’d just win and 👀” 😂😂😂😂
Hitch said Drake’s been doing it for so long and then said you can go back to like 2010. 🤦♀️ A little context GTA 5 was released just 3 years later than that. 13 yrs is not that long in the game
The puppy stage is the best part Hitch
Oh shit we got the REAL goat ladies and gentleman. Big Formal!!!
FORMAL FINALLY
Damnnnn. I neeeded this podcast to be hella long. I miss formal in content
Middle of the ocean is a banger too dude
The Flycast makes my week. Add Formal ❤
my mom would move somewhere close to me if I needed to move somewhere for an opportunity 🤣🤣
You three are comedy. This is my favorite flycast 🎯
Fun drinking game, every time Formal says the word 'like' in a sentence, take a shot.
You'll be dead at the end of this episode.
Bro we need a podcast with the Twins , SEBAs and , Zlander
32:00 traffic sucks, taxes suck, everything is expensive but, I agree. Got everything over here in Cali
I watched this without skipping or leaving youtube. I love formal
Hitch, you look happy and healthy & it’s showing.
I feel you hitch, one of my first GBs was against OpTic Midnite in AW and when I added her it was sick lol
10:20 hitch talking about pre-teens playing Val and checking their shop but imagine CSGO. You've got several people going pro at 15-16.

twitter troll interviews with these three as a series would be ELITE
I needed this. Miss formy
So great to see Formal back

47:59 bro just flashed us😩😩😩
Love seeing Matt in a optic vid again Miss that guy
Weston road flows has some insane verses
All of you better say thank you for the time stamps

I see Formal, I click
Maniac - “I feel like you can’t really, well you can’t but you cannn”. Say something, retract and then say it in full.
Flycast is one of my favorite podcasts to watch.
Glad the Homie Formal popped up again.
Hilarious hearing matt talking about Orange County. So true. So much status around here
47:58 … You’re welcome
Great episode vibes were immaculate
“Is there someone over there like putting in code” fuckin comedy
Certain Affinity is the studio that's been working for a long time now this 'big new mode' for Halo Infinite that could be the new BR. i'm not sure how many people at 343i are actually directly working on it, from what i've heard CA is owning it
😂😂😂😂😂 you guys have a good flow together. Niac the rager 😂
Are you even watching a flycast if Niac doesn't mention him being hungover at least once? lol
Yo new rule please drop your pod cast in the morning so I can listen at work. I check the channel like 4 time today to see if a new one was dropped
Formal is just an ice cold killer, man.
Formal makes content better. Love when he’s on Fr!
Damn I missed Formal H4F!!
54:32 so true. CoD is so day to day and I understand speculating how rosters will do and so on but majority if not all are spouting bs.
man this is great man
Having Our Way - Drake and Migos. "Think watchin' too much of Stephen done got to me
S too eas', I'm servin' up by the threes
I'm playin' pool in the pool just connects to the beach
I've been too solid to ever have stripes on my sneak's, you get what I mean?"
