Don’t drink energy drinks if you care about your health. Give it up for a month and you won’t miss it. Too many gamers think it’s ok to drink that shite.
Same with flour, sugar and processed food. It gives you diabetes and cancer. More than half of the people in hospitals are there because of what they ate.
44:55 Games Workshop (Warhammer 40k) contracted Blizzard (StarCraft) to make a game and the deal fell through at the end of development.

Star wars outlaws. Was a missed opportunity. People want to play a power fantasy. Imagine if they had bobba or jango fet or cad bane or even hondu, din jarin the mandolorian you would have cool abilities and have way more allure and story behind it. They F'd up
While i agree those would have been fun games as well i believe there is a place for stealthy scoundrels in the Star Wars games I see a lot of praise for Outlaws too
To be clear "Requiem for a Dream" was based on a 1978 novel by Hubert Selby. The film may have borrowed the framing for that shot from "Perfect Blue" but the film is in no way based on the anime unless the anime owes its inspiration to the original novel. The novel is also brilliant by the way. Rand you should read the book if you haven't already.😊
I think we have no idea the level of heat he probably receives being a figure in the community. Normies couldn’t comprehend… I’m sure it’s difficult to identify people who are just expressing their opinion vs griefiers especially when it’s over text and people tend to get “passionate” in their commentary. How would you guys feel if you had hordes of people trying to get a reaction out of you everyday…
If you're a multi console gamer I can't imagine waiting years for a game that you actually want to play. If you can only afford a single console I get it I've been there.
I can wait because I have a backlog and don't need to spend full price on an ecosystem I don't give a shit about outside of 1st party exclusives. If Sony moneyhat a game I'm not giving them a penny for it especially if it's going to come to xbox later. Silent Hill 2 would have been a game I would have waited for even if it launched on xbox. Now I'll just wait for a cheap steam version to hit.
Xbox needs to up the polling rate on their controllers. After trying a 1000hz controller im never going back to 120hz.. Ever! It's a night and day difference imo.
2:00:09 “any 3rd party game thats on PlayStation or xbox even if better on PlayStation im still playing on xbox. 2:01:45 “i wish xbox was doing their own mid gen refresh” Why not just play the games you want, where you want, on highest performing platform you can? (does Rand play on PC?) I really dont get it.
Because for some people the highest performing platform isn't the platform they want to play on the most. Especially for people who like achievements and using an Xbox more
I’m totally with Rand on the seasons and for the same reasons and also because the “ber” months are the run up to Christmas and i looooove Christmas. I do prefer Winter to Summer though but Winters are mild in the UK although i like the snow and wish we got more
Sony raising that price of hzd isn't surprising. That the fear of all digital . U already can't buy ps games outside the store digital .if no physical ever happens this gonna happen all the time with everyone. Lucky u can get the disc for $15 online or 18 at GameStop .
I bought a TV specially for the new Xbox Series X.. had everything 4k 120hz oled vrr... but the Consoles never matched it... so i switched to Pc last year AND i can check everything on my TV hell i play Space Marines 2 with 4k 110fps ultra 😅 Crazy to think the next xbox i wouldn't get and i got every xbox since
2:26:12 I doubt Sony having streaming rights would cause problems since Sony still needs Microsoft/Amazon/Google's cloud backend to do the streaming. It was a prob for MS because they own the underlying infrastructure, which is why MS was making deals with other streaming companies in order to make a point to the regulators.
@Lucca-t3w Hell blade 2 right now. What's that matter though? For all the bluster ponies aren't playing their "Bangers". Or the third party exclusives that suddenly count as Sony titles.
@Lucca-t3w why are you paying 18 euro a month? SO you can only play one game with your XBox? the other 400+ games on Gamepass don't work? You sure you're using your XBox?
@Lucca-t3w Who cares where Wukong is? It's on the PS5 and no one is playing it there. Again, none of this matters, because, Ponys, like yourself, don't play their games.
In defense of Ubisoft i beat both Avatar:Frontiers of Pandora and Star Wars: Outlaws and while there were certainly elements of the open world ideas Ubisoft is known for Massive did a great job adding variety and unique story elements within the side quests that I felt made them both feel fresh in ways other than the visuals which were very ambitious and surprisingly performant as well
honestly final fantasy 16 runs bad on ps5 so it will on series x but i dont know if its even possible to run ff16 on series s. it will be like 500p at 30fps. this will be a real challenge for the square enix devs
Rand final fantasy is 100% the best final fantasy. Fun fact Ben star who played Clive in 16 also said 8 is his favorite. For Jez dragon age is gonna be fantastic dear I say game of the year
You guys bitched and whined a lot this episode. I’ll give it a pass since, you’re my favourite show. Please don’t be like Disney and start hating your audience. Most people don’t want ugly characters in games, and most people can admit, that when times of war hit, men do the fighting and women raise the babies. There’s no shame or victim hood in acknowledging differences between the sexes and that both together create equal membership in a family unit. There is a very real inverse of gender roles in video games recently, as well as over-representation of select interest groups, which fall into very small minority groups. Why video games now have to have an influx of self-inserts and fantasy worlds have to reflect our world makes no artistic sense. AAA Video games/movies/tv shows are now a Trojan horse of woke ideology. It is literal propaganda and grooming. People can make their activist content in authentic stories and not be forced into everything made in the last 100 years through retcons/remakes/reboots/sequels/prequels/multiverse nonsense. Then they can find the audience that actually appreciates it.

Can’t wait for Rand’s Berserk arc. He will 100% love it. Also can’t wait for book 5 of The stormlight archive

Frostpunk 2 is heavy on the simulation, so it's likely your CPU is the bottleneck
First time I've been able to watch the podcast for a while, and is it me or is Jez a lot more aggressive now? I love it!
jez calls anyone he disagrees with a grifter 😭 (no i’m not talking about ppl that are blatantly wrong about info)
Someone didnt listen to jez, if they say that@Lucca-t3w

2:44:42 it's pronounced "aspire". It's just spelled with a y to be cool 😎.
I definitely enjoyed FF8 more than FF7. Squall > Cloud
Going to disagree about the gameplay but both are emo unlikeable bishes. Squall = cloud
Bro the game is woke... LOOK AT THE VOICE ACTRESS's HISTORY.
I bought a TV specially for the new Xbox Series X.. had everything 4k 120hz oled vrr... but the Consoles never matched it... so i switched to Pc last year AND i can check everything on my TV hell i play Space Marines 2 with 4k 110fps ultra 😅
Crazy to think the next xbox i wouldn't get and i got every xbox since
What podcast is rand on today ? Anyone?
FF8 not better than FF7. It's good but not better.
Starlink and Fenyx have been he best Ubisoft games in recent years and hey just dumped them
Great show gents.❤
You experienced an echo Rand
jez is right - anime is awesome (shoutout to slice of life, jez), but shonen blows
Why not a 2025 handheld release with GTA 6?
Check out the woman who is the lead in ghost ...it might be woke

Xbox where you play ff games decades later
PlayStation, where you don't play games
@Lucca-t3w Hell blade 2 right now. What's that matter though?
For all the bluster ponies aren't playing their "Bangers". Or the third party exclusives that suddenly count as Sony titles.

@Lucca-t3w Who cares where Wukong is? It's on the PS5 and no one is playing it there.
Again, none of this matters, because, Ponys, like yourself, don't play their games.
@Lucca-t3wpaying money for gamepass but not utilizing the service to its full extent is stupid of you huh
The way Americans butcher MY language 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Which example are you referring to? There are quite a few.
Dam jez why you being so mean and hostile! 😂
Because he is a pansy liberal.

We won't lose a lick of sleep if you get ff16
We? You?
Then why do you keep making comments about it? Its obvious you do care. Alot in fact which is kind of funny. You guys are so weird.
@@angiwells6897 who's "we" you got a turd in your pocket?
‘We’ being PlayStation fanboys?!
Yeah, no one cares about you. And the next games in the series will all be multiplatform, so get used to it.
We? get sony balls out of your mouth.😂😂

16 runs on the Steam Deck. So it will on the Series S.
say no to wokeness & woke games!!!
On a scale of 1-10, how woke is Starfield?
@@xdjrunneras the elite from halo ce would say... woke woke woke.
Rand final fantasy is 100% the best final fantasy. Fun fact Ben star who played Clive in 16 also said 8 is his favorite. For Jez dragon age is gonna be fantastic dear I say game of the year
