@@jiro4559 i think they mean, a lot of the time the people who are being interviewed (mostly celebrities) don’t seem involved in an interview, probably because they’ve heard the same questions hundreds of times so it’s refreshing to see celebrities get excited talking about things they enjoy talking about. which is how an interview should be conducted lol.
@@mast3rNate exactly. That's why Hot Ones is so popular, many celebrities want to go on it, or are told it would be good exposure. Sean Evens is a great interviewer & prides himself on asking unique questions.
@@PaddyMcShane i completely agree! so many celebrities who’ve been on Hot Ones continuously give Sean his props as an interviewer for always doing his in-depth research on the guests! love watching him conduct interviews haha
Loved when he was talking about Planet Zoo. I never heard of this game but you could feel how much he enjoy it. Glad for him! Very entertaining interview, great job!
have you watched Wild things with dominic monaghan? its a show where he just goes in the wild looking for interesting species.. really fun, became a big fan of his after that! if you like animals/critters, youll love it.. if you dont, youll prob still love it! haha
When he started naming consoles, I was thinking he isn’t old enough to know those, so his parents probably collected video games. Then I saw he is 47 years old! He has good genes!
My longest break from gaming was from early 2008 (or maybe it was late 2007) until the beginning of 2013. After my PS2 broke down, I thought that's it for me, I am a "grown-up" now and will never play any games again.
Is just started another Skyrim playthrough after many years. Already in love again, was in a gaming rut and wasn’t enjoying the games I was playing - starting so many and giving up after a few hours. Went back to Skyrim = problem solved. Say what you want about Bethesda games but something about them just makes them so playable
Not mentioned here is that Dominic Monaghan has a cameo in Fallout 4. It is during the "War never changes..." flashback at the start. He is one of the soldiers in Alaska, siting very tired in power armour with his helmet off.
I loved lotr the two towers game when it made its way to me. There was an adventure game drought right around then and it was a nice change of pace after shooting everything for like a year (the True Crime's, and Max Payne's of the time). Went from there to whichever Star Wars game it was that was pretty similar in gameplay, then didn't really love swinging weapons around again until Skyrim blew my effin' mind. I was telling everybody I knew, "Dude! I am SO into a game about dragons right now. DRAGONS! Thats insane!" 😂 Ah, the goodest of memz
If you see her at a bar and think you might want to chat her up, just know you probably don't have a shot. This is the type of guy she likes. She's hanging on his every word.
350 hrs. is a rookie number you say? I have played games since 1995-ish, and I’ve never played any game more than 5-600 hours. Now I have a family, which is hard to combine with gaming, no matter how much I still love doing it. I reckon I have about 500 hours in a whole year that I can use on gaming, and I would like to play a bit more. Though I think I’ll say this: Playing games for thousands of hours is an obsessive and unhealthy behavior, and I wouldn’t do it even if I had the spare time.
Depends on what you want to prioritize in life, ive played games since i was 5yrs old, now im 25yrs old still love playing games, and started developing my own and working on gaming projects in my uni studies. Once im 75 im probably still gonna be playing games xdd.
Hey, he had an Amiga! I still have an A1200. But, did he finish Skyrim on Legendary difficulty? Next, he should play Enderal, which is better than Skyrim imo.
hahah i feel like ive logged 100 hrs on skyrim, and i dont play that much.. ive heard people talk about putting thousands of hours, hes right in the middle, just goes to show hes someone who likes an adventure
Merry hoarding apples and cheese wheels in Skyrim is pretty predictable
Pippin is in ESO btw
I hear the salted pork is particularly good.
But what about the friendship onions he left behind? :(

Skyrim changed my life. It was the first piece of fantasy media that deeply resonated with me; of course I got into LOTR soon after ;)

Now I’m going to look it up!
@@joshuacalkins If you like being creative, and want something relaxing, 100% recommend it.
Planet Zoo is an amazing game!
That’s me with Jurassic world, planet zoo when I was a kid made me love those type of tycoon games
I know it was on gamepass at one point, I tried it out but it was a lot lol. Bit of a learning curve but I didn't stick with it
I love Dominic monaghan so much he's great.
This might be one of the most natural interviews I've ever seen. It felt wholesome and so effortless. Well done!
I'm all in for this being a series
This is a fun segment. I really think GameSpot has stepped it up in terms of content this year. You guys and GameRanx are my goto channels. 👍
GameSpot*
A fellow FPS podcast user I assume? If not, check it out. Lucy and Jake are on it.
I wasnt aware of this guy but i knew many of his roles, what a pleasant thing to see he seems very likeable as a person!
Google what he did to Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly
have you watched Wild things with dominic monaghan? its a show where he just goes in the wild looking for interesting species.. really fun, became a big fan of his after that! if you like animals/critters, youll love it.. if you dont, youll prob still love it! haha
What a pleasant surprise, I love this idea, more of this please!
I really respect how Dom subtly named two of my favorite shows as he explains what his intentions with the PS2 were: Sopranos and Oz. Props
When he started naming consoles, I was thinking he isn’t old enough to know those, so his parents probably collected video games. Then I saw he is 47 years old! He has good genes!
The first Lord of the Rings movie came out 23 years ago
LOTR movies were made 24 years ago - how old did you think this guy was?
@@TheUltimateGC Looking at his face, his 30s.
THIS needs to be an entry of interviews for media. Pop cultural identities and their love of video games like this! Brilliant!
My favorite actor from my favorite show likes planet zoo, time to check out planet zoo.
The last thing I expected clicking on to this video was to be checking mid interview how much Planet Zoo goes for now, he fully sold it to me ha
Another great conversation, keep up the good work!
I'm so happy for Lucy. Glad she did so go, and was super hype...after the fact on who she interviewed.
Planet Zoo is some hardcore gamer shit. Hell yea.
Very cool interview!
Great series, I hope it catches on and more celebs agree to do it
Lucy james is a top notch interviewer 🎉
Todd Howard rubbing his hands together like Bird mann 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Toddy Woddy smoddy
Best Gamespot interview for a long time
Not bad numbers for a consistent actor.. in my depressed days, I’ve clocked over 950 hrs..
If you knew how often your just sitting around and waiting on set you'd be shocked. Majority of the time you're there is in between shots.
he was in The Boys right? or was it someone else?

Dominic! Ooh, what a wonderful person who makes me so spontaneously happy. a precious gift from God! ❤
Skyrim is the GOAT this man has taste
Very enjoyable watch 👍
8:03 great response. It’s something that gave you genuine happiness
dominic sharing the wholesome story of how his passion for video games became a crippling addiction to LoL
This was an amazing interview. Also, damn...I can't believe I'm three years older than he is x.x
I love this man 😂😂😂 what a joy to listen to this video was.
love DM.. his show Wild things was so amazing, his curiosity is refreshing!
That shout-out to JJ Ipsen & Jim Guthrie's soundtrack, warms my heart. ❤
Great show. Awesome interviewer. 💕
I'm not sure if it's me but when Mr Monaghan mentioned the "Magic pill" from Pac-Man someone un-plugged her.
Also, Skyrim. Amazing game.
I'm about the same age and got back into gaming with the gta games as well. It's what we were hoping games would become when we were little.
Good interview, Dom seems like a cool guy.
Life is so beautiful, Skyrim my favorite game, lotr is my favorite movie and univers, and I learn Dominic Monaghan love Skyrim too, what a day
Dom!! I main Lux too!!! AND I just saw your theatre show Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with Billy just a few months back! Incredible show!!!
I wonder if he has played Palworld? But yeah Skyrim is my comfort game I always go back to.
I've already played over 500 hours of STARFIELD! I don't even want to begin thinking of how many hours I've put into Skyrim over the years. Lol
For real though. Thousands of hours and more than that on Fallout 3, New Vegas and Oblivion
I can only imagine how nervous Lucy was for this, I would have been SWEATING
Planet Zoo is an amazing game
He didnt mention that Skyrim reminds us all of middle Earth 😵💫
7:54 Me too, Dominic. Me too. Todd be Praised! 🥲
“Slightly different day at the zoo” hahaha great segment keep this going
It sounds like there wasn't much knowledge about the Amiga which is the greatest computer of all time.
The fact that he remembered the names of the GTA V characters shows he’s a real one
I barely know anything about League, and he sounds exactly like my buddies who try to convince me to play League. He's legit.

This is a great show Lucy!
I played skyrim sinds 2011 and i still play skyrim in 2024 and i have already 100.000 hours in the Game
No you dont. Not even close. Plus you play other games you couldnt ever achieve 100k. Maybe when you would be 80 years old.
@@nicechock youd have to play 24 hours a day for over 11 years straight to get 100k hours lol

No shame in having sunk so much time in to Skyrim. God knows how many hours I've racked up. One of the best games ever!
Makes perfect sense that Merry would be good at League, he had practice laning with the Ents when they took out Sarumon's orc spawn point.
"You All Everybody!"

Bro I’m a massive drive shaft fan
Dominic should get into Skyrim on PC *with mods.* Bump those hours up. ;)
Dominic is my hero.
GTA 3 was my introduction to gaming too
I really loved his performance in CoD. Nice interview!
I easily dumped 350 hours into Minesweeper in the first term of uni on my friend’s computer. I’m not allowed near Skyrim……
"Remember the Amiga??"
"Nrrghrrg nieheifgh..."

350 hours is how long I spent, including the official DLC content and I didn't do repeatable quests. Sounds exactly right.
