People need to realize that you can't just GO to their office, even if you are a huge fan, and expect them to come out and greet you. Please have some respect and if you know where their office is keep it to yourself. It is their job after all.
Collin Hanson This has always bothered me. I know it'd be exciting to meet your idols or whatever but this is their job. There's a time and place for everything (RTX, Pax, and any other fan meet up they setup) but not at their place of work/home and when they're busy.
Collin Hanson The guy already said that he was just passing by and wanted to see their office (from the outside only) but got invited by the receptionist to the lobby. He didnt demand anything and left before she went to talk to the guys, so he seems cool.
i just started my FIRST subscription specifically for more FunHaus content, and i'm watching the Haus of Pain Doc... instantly happy with my decision. Keep doing you guys. You're the best
If this new Call of Duty is promising the 'most realistic war experience', then i expect the main character to get nailed in the head as soon as the landing craft door opens in the Normandy beach invasion.
Imagine, tho. They could set this whole character up, you go through a training sequence with him, you get to know his backstory, his best friend, you are on the landing craft together, the doors open, you jump in the water and suddenly, you get shot in the head and you are dead. That's when you take control of his best friend and the first thing you see is the "main" character's bloodied face, lying dead on the beach.
Nah, be prepared to be part of a small squad of American soldiers mowing down waves of hundreds upon hundreds of German soldiers that weren't actually there.
True, but it would set up an entirely different message: that no matter who you were, you could die at any moment. All these COD games are overglorified slaughter fests where you are some badass dude who mows down tons of enemies. By actually giving us a compelling story like that, they could make something amazing. But no, this one is gonna try and fail, like all other previous COD games.
Max_huggett good point! Also Sledgehammer co-developed MW3 with Infinity Ward. Funhaus really slip up with their research during these podcasts sometimes.
You guys seem really well aware of the fact that the US is not the only country in the world. In my experience loads of americans think that murrica is the world. But you guys are smarter than that. Thank you for being educated and not naive and ignorant.
I really appreciate this video and am happy that funhaus and everyone in this video, the reason for this comment is that I found out my life long best friend of a dog has been diagnosed with cancer and the vet told us that he has weeks to live so again I would like to say to all of funhaus. I love you and appreciate the hard work and dedication you have to make us fans laugh every day! Again thank you!
I really enjoy them just shooting the shit and actually having a serious conversation about whatever topic. These guys are super bright and I enjoy these podcasts. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for promoting the 1800 Flowers thing in the podcast, Lawrence. The deal surprisingly wasn't shit, and knocked out one thing I needed to do anyway, at a discount. Keep doing what you're doing, and thanks.
Lawrence @ 27:50 (ish) talking about women not caring about flowers until they have a baby. Its true. It took about a year and half after our son was born but I'm now buying flowers every other week. I'm going to order those flowers. Hope it helps your sponsorship. Also, I'm thinking about get a RT membership to watch that wrestling video. Good on you guys.
and I don't know where he got that idea that in the Korean War "soldiers were sitting down until a mortar hit their friend", but the conflict itself was extremely mobile unlike huge portions of World War 1. If you take a look at tactical maps of the war you can see how quickly the lines moved back and forth. The city of Seoul itself was taken and lost a total of 4 times. During its last phase it did indeed become a war of attrition centered around the lines between North and South Korea but WW1, especially on the Western Front was almost entirely of that nature and yet Battlefield 1 still covered it. Conclusion: It was a short but brutal conflict. It was also the first proxy conflict between the USSR and the United States during the cold war and saw the introduction of helicopters in small quantities and the first jet-on-jet fighter dogfights in history.
But BF1 is not a WWI game, its a regular shooter in a vaugley WWI skin. An actual WWI game would have you standing in a trench, knee dep in mud in the pouring rain with german artillery pounding your friends into human meat slurry for 6 months straight, then you run across a barren field and get machinegunned to death. The end. BF 1 got it wrong.
Even though I haven't watched this video yet I just wanted to leave a comment for you guys before I start it. I've chosen a profession that takes up quite a lot of my time so I don't really have a personal life outside of work and my girlfriend. Watching you guys after I come home from a long day always makes me smile. Call it a friend simulator, or whatever, but you guys do have a profound effect on my life even though I don't know you. I guess I'm writing this today because, two days ago my girlfriend and I parted ways, and so you guys are the only real 'friends' I've got. But it's something, and seeing you upload videos now makes me happy even though I feel like crap at the moment. So, thank you, really. Also Lawrence for Quintessential Gamer 2017.
There are so many underutilised theatres of war when it comes to WW2: occupied China, South Africa, the Middle East, India. When you aren't just doing D-Day and Stalingrad again, you can see the 'World' part of World War 2. There's plenty of room for variety and innovation within WW2, but that won't be nearly as marketable really. I think there's an expectation, that for a WW2 game you need Normandy and the 'classics'. Hopefully, the quest for variety proves me wrong and CODWW2 is a bit more original.
God Lawrence has lost SO MUCH WEIGHT! It's very impressive. Well done Larry! In fact, the entire Funhaus team's dedication to swole-ness inspired me to sign up for a gym membership and personal trainer over the summer, and to start taking weight training courses next semester at college (I needed a trash class to fill up one extra credit hour so I figured it might as well be something that is actually useful). Thanks for being so inspiring guys!
I'm actually glad they're bringing a WW2 game back because of the fact it will educate younger generations that will become interested in the history and politics behind the war, and why there was a war. In the end it can only be a good thing. Call of Duty has come in full circle.
Okay, Call of Duty has plenty that they could make games about; they just seem to be scared that no one will buy a shooter that doesn't involve America in some way. Call of Duty: Eastern Front - play as Russia facing off against the germans, or as the germans facing off against Russia. Call of Duty: Invasion of Poland: - Polish perspective of the war. Call of Duty: War of Resistance - Chinese war against Japan during WWII (Why is China always forgotten? they lost over 14 million people.) Call of Duty: Afghanistan - This one's a complete shitshow, loads of room for story. Call of Duty: Civil War - there are so many civil wars taking place AT THIS TIME, nevermind all those in the past. So many wars, plenty to choose from, stop with the American perspective of WWII.
That's what they know because that's what they've been given. If you don't teach someone something (or give them the incentive to learn), they're not going to know about it. What average fps player wanted a WWI game? Not many, because it isn't taught nearly as much in schools, and there aren't nearly as many documentaries or film adaptations. Sometimes you just have to show people what they want.
It's pretty obvious that they are only going back because BF1 was so successful... and even then they took the easiest, most predictable way out, instead of trying anything new. Just as they always do.
For the first time in a long time I'm excited for Call of Duty. Of all the things I think the series has gotten away from, I think the biggest is given us something to relate to. Its hard for a human to relate to characters that are demigod androids with jetpacks. Something I remember connecting me with the characters of the original, United Offensive, and CoD 2 was not the main characters that the story focused around. It was the interaction between you and the soldiers to your left and right. All they were were AI with a name color-coordinated depending on how hurt they were. But when you've been fighting through Bastogne, pushing each objective alongside PVT Smith and SGT Johnson, simple AI but keeping up with you every step of the way, you get attached to them. And watching them get cut down by an MG42 or pinged by a sniper was truly heart-wrenching. I definitely miss that feeling and I hope this game recaptures that.
Spiderman has had the least reboots out of all the main superheroes but people always say it has too many reboots, there have been endless batmen and supermen but people always hop on spiderman
So has spiderman, Spiderman 3 came out in 2007, The Amazing Spiderman came out in 2012, Spiderman Homecoming is coming out on 2017, there's been 10 years between Holland and Maguire, people say it like there's a spiderman coming out every 2 years with a new guy
Oliver Croft but these are all very memorably close together. Most of the other hero movies are not. granted this current iteration of batman is very close to the last there is a lot of time between the last and the one before that. same with superman. whereas spidey has 5 years between the first, the second, and the third.
AI Let's Play is an amalgamation of concepts I've seen before, tied together in a way that I have not seen before, but Big Knee Lover showed me something that I not only had not seen before, but could not even have imagined.
Cranked my speakers to the loudest, she said that there were some fans outside wanting to meet them. After that I couldn't hear her but since Bruce said "Just in-case" I'm guessing she asked if she should lock the doors or something. Then she said someone came from New Zealand to meet them, and Bruce said "aw, New Zealand? Naw I'm sorry"
A fan from New Zealand showed up and wanted to meet them, with no notice. Bruce felt bad that they came all the way from New Zealand, but if they go out to meet one fan they have to meet everyone who shows up. Fans need to understand that although they're cool people they are working and running a business. They can't, and shouldn't, just drop everything they're doing to meet you.
The two visiters were me and my dad hahaha we came over and were staying nearby so I wanted to see where they film their stuff. Man still cool that I kind of got featured in the show though.
Alex Marriott That's pretty creepy dude. Really hope you didnt come all the way from new zealand specifically expecting to come to their office unannounced and be welcomed in open arms, thats akin to a stalker.
i actually love the pre recorded podcasts of them all around a computer, kinda old style way more then the new way with the set and everything. might just be me though.
Normally an audio listener. So glad I had some spare time and watched the video instead. James and Bruce's reactions during the pro flower ad read were priceless.
It's not just me that likes this setup a lot better than the other, right? It feels more like I am hanging out with them while one of "us" is playing a game. Much more chill and relaxing in my opinion.
Dezi Plays I was just being sarcastic with my original comment, but I would argue that I don't think it's as simple as it seems. I don't know personally, but it seems like that channel is a bit of a production. I don't think it's just one person and a couple computer programs.
Nah I could tell, but throughout the podcast he didn't show much interest in any of the discussions so I guessing he just wasn't in the mood or was tired with all the prep for lets play live. I agree with the thought of it being a production, I don't think one single person could manage all that by themselves and upload regularly
Most people dont realize how insane the korean war was. especially if you focus on the famous frozen chosin. there is actually a huge opportunity in the korean war just like battlefield with WWI. I highly recommend to anyone interested int the korean war to read give me tomorrow. It is a fantastic book that highlights how crazy the korean war got and how crazy it is that it is essentially forgotten
BF1 weapons and vehicles were WAYYYYYYY blown out of proportion. You can just carry around a fucking FULLY AUTOMATIC LIGHTWEIGHT machine gun that you accurately aim down sights and fire? Yeah right. Kiss my ass. The fully automatic weaponry was basically only reserved for stationary use and inside of bunkers and fucking required a full crew to operate. Not only that, they jammed constantly and overheated so often sustained fire past a few seconds could melt the metal of the gun. Your typical foot soldier was given a bolt-action rifle. Yes they were different types bolt-action rifles and that would vary further depending on what country you served, but no, the gun you start with can be shot non stop, full auto, accurately with ADS and is just a shit on the level technology back then. BF1 is a shit on WWI history.
CCKillbilly Not to mention the indestructible tanks rolling around everywhere over mud and sand without breaking down, and the biplanes that handle like F-22s. It was just a generic American shooter with a slightly older paint job. Still very fun, but not accurate at all. Not a single trench in sight! And an American focus ffs...
I always get the U2 song Ultraviolet confused with the other U2 song Until the End of the World. So as an extension of that, Adam briefly convinced me that the Wim Wenders film Until the End of the World was actually about vampires. (13:25)
They should have made the new cod about the British during the war and try to tie it to the Dunkirk movie but no we are getting another WW2 game from US who didn't even join until the end of 1941.
jokeman1212 I bet nobody is trying to sell the US short, it's just getting stale to watch the same conflict always from the same perspective. There are so many battlefields and conflicts we never get to see just because the US wasn't involved or not involved at the time.
jokeman1212 I just feel that us brits are under represented in WW2 games and movies as we fought through the whole war 1939-1945 on all fronts yet the US takes all the glory not that war is glorious
Woo, so _glad_ we get to storm the beaches of Normandy _again_ as the US Army. Not like there were any other fronts and any other combatants that took part in the Second *_World_* War that haven't been done to death in every WW2 shooter ever made. Seriously, it was trite and boring when Medal of Honor did it, and it's still trite now.
And if those nations want a game to tell their story, they can make their own damned game. It's an American company, it's going to tell the American story. I completely 100% agree with you though, D-Day is not even fun to play, it's especially bad for multiplayer games.
+BirdyLegs I'm pretty sure just becasue the company is american doesn't mean it will tell an american story; that point is invalid. They'll just do what they think panders to the most people as they're a multination coorporation, or what is the most interesting.
thames21, yes because there was only one battle and since youve played the winning side in that battle you have no choice to play the loosing side in that battle. Its not like there were lots of different battles all over the WORLD in a WORLD WAR, that would be ridicuous
The logical step for cod is to explore just crazy time travel or parallel universes tbh. That way they can do whatever the fuck they want without worrying about time period accuracy, or having to include exo suits in a futuristic setting
I saw Ultraviolet. Actually, the last time you guys mentioned it on the podcast, I ranted about it, raising the same points. Sat through the whole movie without realizing they were vampires (nothing in the movie infers it, they just start hissing at each other in the last fight scene), and weird briefcase kid floating in liquid silver. You guys forgot to mention when the Triad surrounded her and held her at gunpoint. Surrounded. In a circle. Pointing guns. Because that can't go wrong.
I feel extremely sorry for you if you were actually talking about when she literally only crossed her legs. You're pathetic get some irl friends you sad disgusting creep.
Last chance? I mean no offence or anything but every fucker and thier dog knows we are getting more and more COD's with more and more shitty DLC that isn't worth it.
Connor Handforth Yes, but it's CoD's last chance of redemption with it's older fans. This new game is setting some hype for the fans that had long waited for a CoD with boots on the ground, and if WW2 flops, they will just give up the franchise entirely, like many done so after BO2
I'm here to clarify on the whole Vocaloid matter, if no one has already. Hatsune Miku was created by Crypton Future Media by having someone come in (in this case famous voice actress Fujita Saki) and record her vocalizing every single sound in every tone possible within the Japanese language. Then, the music writing software is produced and either professional or up-and-coming composers can buy it and publish their songs with Miku as the singer. For example Hatsune Miku is the singer for both "Black Rock Shooter" and "Senbonzakura" but the composers are different. So both Adam and James are half correct in that Vocaloids are completely robot (Adam) but there are hundreds of people coming together to write songs for her.
It's obviously relevant. It's trending on social media almost 24/7. Just because you hate the game it doesn't mean you can just shove your ignorant bias on it and suddenly it has 0 players or fans. Grow up man
Am I the only person who gets annoyed when people call games like COD or Battlefield realistic? I understand it's a video game and I perfectly understand trading realism for fun, but in Battlefield 1 you can put on a suit of armor and run around with a machine gun. Realistic? I don't think so.
Griffospike people actually did that, though. Everything in BF1 existed at that time. Go watch FlakFire's videos about BF1 if you don't want to Google it yourself.
No, they didn't. There was some applique metal plate armor typically worn on the chest area used by a few soldiers on both sides but it proved too heavy and cumbersome and could only protect against fragments and small caliber pistol rounds so the idea was largely abandoned. I've played Battlefield 1 and what they showed was a full armored knight dude going "juggernaut" on hundreds of Austrian-Hungarian troops. Not only would that suit be ridiculously heavy to even walk in but in they game they have you free wielding a heavy machine gun too. Conclusion: The game took excessive liberties, therefore OP's point is valid.
You guys always being so adverse to sports is strange. Your demos are probably like that too but it's weird for you alpha bros to not enjoy watching objective competition.
"Is the light on? Yeah, yeah it is..." And that was the last anyone saw of Front Desk Girl. Strangely, Lawrence was in great spirits the next day, despite his blistered, mud-caked hands.
I think you just watched M.A.S.H. adam. The three phase Korean War was actually pretty action packed including 1 million Chinese soldiers and the gnarliest flank in military history.
People need to realize that you can't just GO to their office, even if you are a huge fan, and expect them to come out and greet you. Please have some respect and if you know where their office is keep it to yourself. It is their job after all.
Collin Hanson This has always bothered me. I know it'd be exciting to meet your idols or whatever but this is their job. There's a time and place for everything (RTX, Pax, and any other fan meet up they setup) but not at their place of work/home and when they're busy.
true, but the dude came from NEW ZEALAND, have you ever sat in a single plane for like 14 hours? you aren't right in the head after that shit...
what? was she a fan?
Collin Hanson The guy already said that he was just passing by and wanted to see their office (from the outside only) but got invited by the receptionist to the lobby. He didnt demand anything and left before she went to talk to the guys, so he seems cool.
and how are you gonna find the time to pump out videos every few days?
I love when bruce yells at Elysa then immediately looks at James for confirmation
It's Elaine not Elysa.
When Elyse is trying to make that jump while on fire in Voodoo Vince, Bruce and James' reactions were perfect. Bless you Elyse.
i just started my FIRST subscription specifically for more FunHaus content, and i'm watching the Haus of Pain Doc... instantly happy with my decision. Keep doing you guys. You're the best

Nah, be prepared to be part of a small squad of American soldiers mowing down waves of hundreds upon hundreds of German soldiers that weren't actually there.
Yeah... that's sadly how it's gonna be.
Puggy 117 well not everyone got shot immediately. If they did we wouldn't have won the war
True, but it would set up an entirely different message: that no matter who you were, you could die at any moment. All these COD games are overglorified slaughter fests where you are some badass dude who mows down tons of enemies. By actually giving us a compelling story like that, they could make something amazing. But no, this one is gonna try and fail, like all other previous COD games.
I love how brutally honest they are about the twitch community and more so those who donate to twitchers. Overall a solid podcast guys!
Idris Elba voiced "Truck" in modern warfare 3
thought you were making a joke about him doing a voice for a truck in the game. TIL
Max_huggett Holy shit he did?
Max_huggett good point! Also Sledgehammer co-developed MW3 with Infinity Ward. Funhaus really slip up with their research during these podcasts sometimes.
Anthony Olophant voiced Grinch
You guys seem really well aware of the fact that the US is not the only country in the world. In my experience loads of americans think that murrica is the world.
But you guys are smarter than that. Thank you for being educated and not naive and ignorant.
I listen to these podcasts while in the shower. Just throwing it out there
You shower for an hour and 2 minutes? Noice
Minimanmax2000 there are children in Africa who could eat that water... you pig.
with masturbating it's possible
same here! lol
Minimanmax2000 I listen to this while getting my arcade boxes on Overwatch
i love you guys adding you sources for the stuff you talk about and links to the stuff you show like Big Knee Lover and A.I. Kizuna
ah i see you like AI chan Lawarence i understand your a man of culture
MRmagicmuffins She's my senpai, just like Lawrence.
26:37
The silent reactions from Bruce, James and Elyse while Lawrence is telling a story is priceless.
I think they are reacting to elyses gameplay
Elyse had the biggest smile when she got those Sherri's Berries.
I really appreciate this video and am happy that funhaus and everyone in this video, the reason for this comment is that I found out my life long best friend of a dog has been diagnosed with cancer and the vet told us that he has weeks to live so again I would like to say to all of funhaus. I love you and appreciate the hard work and dedication you have to make us fans laugh every day! Again thank you!
27:00 james and bruce , lol
I really enjoy them just shooting the shit and actually having a serious conversation about whatever topic. These guys are super bright and I enjoy these podcasts. Keep up the great work.
THERE'S NO STRAWPOLL IN THE DESCRIPTION
Thanks, SuburbanSB. Much appreciated.
LET'S GO, BIG KNEE LOVER!
deIlluminati Well we can tell.this channel isn't.full.of weebs as A.I channel ain't winning
Nooo don't jinx it...
The glorius Kizuna AI must Win!, Hopefully sending the link to a chat full of weebs will make a difference.
Elias 1999 😂 put it on the anime Reddit page they love her
Thanks for promoting the 1800 Flowers thing in the podcast, Lawrence. The deal surprisingly wasn't shit, and knocked out one thing I needed to do anyway, at a discount. Keep doing what you're doing, and thanks.
If that guy really wanted to meet funhaus that badly he should have just planned his holiday so that he could of went to lets play live.
I tried man but we went off the New York the day after
Alex Marriott dosent meant you can just invite your self to their offices
I was just curious dude, she asked if I wanted to come in and see the lobby so I did, then we left. I was totally cool with not getting to see them.
Alex Marriott Hey it's Alex the knife wielding assassin
Yo yo it's ya boy Alex the knife wielding assassin
I really like that at 2:40 there was a little Elyse face in Lawrence's spectacles
Yeah, the best podcast setup
Nothing better than coming home and working on my final for class and getting to listen to y'alls podcast love you guys keep up the great content
back to the original dude soup setup plus elyses legs? it's gonna be a great day
J. E. T. E. Jete! Jete! Jete!
I was confused as to why this episode in particular was on my favourites list and then when I saw they were playing Voodoo Vince I remembered why
Holy shit a second woman live in funhaus
And I thought this was supposed to be Dude Soup
Andrju somebody has yet to fill the huge hole left by Joel. Maybe that Sukdicc chick could if it she gets the internship.
i think mis.Jole will be back, i saw her in the last Open hause!!
Lawrence @ 27:50 (ish) talking about women not caring about flowers until they have a baby. Its true. It took about a year and half after our son was born but I'm now buying flowers every other week. I'm going to order those flowers. Hope it helps your sponsorship. Also, I'm thinking about get a RT membership to watch that wrestling video. Good on you guys.
I vote for A.I. Kizuna. Mainly because i want Adam to start his own Vocaloid series on FunHaus...
Renoxius He actually just did a stream as a anime girl.
on his personal channel?
@@Bakatora04 the madman actually did it.
I like that you have a fox vocaloid, Adam. Keep your dreams close to your heart.
Adam's argument about a Korean War game is exactly the same rationale people used to dismiss the idea of a WW1 game before BF1.
That's true, and if a AAA studio tackled Korea they'd probably put an AK in every Chinese soldier's hands.
and I don't know where he got that idea that in the Korean War "soldiers were sitting down until a mortar hit their friend", but the conflict itself was extremely mobile unlike huge portions of World War 1. If you take a look at tactical maps of the war you can see how quickly the lines moved back and forth. The city of Seoul itself was taken and lost a total of 4 times. During its last phase it did indeed become a war of attrition centered around the lines between North and South Korea but WW1, especially on the Western Front was almost entirely of that nature and yet Battlefield 1 still covered it. Conclusion: It was a short but brutal conflict. It was also the first proxy conflict between the USSR and the United States during the cold war and saw the introduction of helicopters in small quantities and the first jet-on-jet fighter dogfights in history.
He was quoting the plot of Mad Men
ObliviousPenguin he was making a reference to the plot of AMC's Mad Men dude
But BF1 is not a WWI game, its a regular shooter in a vaugley WWI skin. An actual WWI game would have you standing in a trench, knee dep in mud in the pouring rain with german artillery pounding your friends into human meat slurry for 6 months straight, then you run across a barren field and get machinegunned to death.

Also Lawrence for Quintessential Gamer 2017.
Great. Commented this on the creepy fan video....
There are so many underutilised theatres of war when it comes to WW2: occupied China, South Africa, the Middle East, India. When you aren't just doing D-Day and Stalingrad again, you can see the 'World' part of World War 2. There's plenty of room for variety and innovation within WW2, but that won't be nearly as marketable really. I think there's an expectation, that for a WW2 game you need Normandy and the 'classics'. Hopefully, the quest for variety proves me wrong and CODWW2 is a bit more original.
Sadly no, its all gonna be from an American squad in the European theater's view.They've already told us that much.
God Lawrence has lost SO MUCH WEIGHT! It's very impressive. Well done Larry! In fact, the entire Funhaus team's dedication to swole-ness inspired me to sign up for a gym membership and personal trainer over the summer, and to start taking weight training courses next semester at college (I needed a trash class to fill up one extra credit hour so I figured it might as well be something that is actually useful). Thanks for being so inspiring guys!
Ska came before reggae
I came too
Ska before reggae Rule 34
how does this shit get to the top fucking kids man
Only because i allowed it.
ok but did you know ska came before reggae?
James and Bruce's reaction to Elyse playing is gold. Around 25:00
I love this set up fuck the big nice expensive set
this setup is the best
Kenny Manzo ¿Por qué no los dos?
Kenny Manzo Honestly lol
there is a genuine and wholesome feeling to this set.
_ Hans _ yeah you can almost sense the lazyness radiating off of it.
I'm actually glad they're bringing a WW2 game back because of the fact it will educate younger generations that will become interested in the history and politics behind the war, and why there was a war. In the end it can only be a good thing. Call of Duty has come in full circle.
There doesn't seem to be a strawpoll in the description, vote by comment?
Wow, I just realized sun screen breaks all the vampire shows I've watched ever. Thanks lawrence!
Okay, Call of Duty has plenty that they could make games about; they just seem to be scared that no one will buy a shooter that doesn't involve America in some way.
Call of Duty: Eastern Front - play as Russia facing off against the germans, or as the germans facing off against Russia.
Call of Duty: Invasion of Poland: - Polish perspective of the war.
Call of Duty: War of Resistance - Chinese war against Japan during WWII (Why is China always forgotten? they lost over 14 million people.)
Call of Duty: Afghanistan - This one's a complete shitshow, loads of room for story.
Call of Duty: Civil War - there are so many civil wars taking place AT THIS TIME, nevermind all those in the past.
So many wars, plenty to choose from, stop with the American perspective of WWII.
I agree.
Scarlet72 The average CoD player knows nothing of these things, they just want Normandy and 'Murica.
That's what they know because that's what they've been given. If you don't teach someone something (or give them the incentive to learn), they're not going to know about it. What average fps player wanted a WWI game? Not many, because it isn't taught nearly as much in schools, and there aren't nearly as many documentaries or film adaptations.
Sometimes you just have to show people what they want.
It's pretty obvious that they are only going back because BF1 was so successful... and even then they took the easiest, most predictable way out, instead of trying anything new. Just as they always do.
Gelt the average COD player really couldn't give two shits about single player. They just want the multiplayer to be good.
For the first time in a long time I'm excited for Call of Duty. Of all the things I think the series has gotten away from, I think the biggest is given us something to relate to. Its hard for a human to relate to characters that are demigod androids with jetpacks. Something I remember connecting me with the characters of the original, United Offensive, and CoD 2 was not the main characters that the story focused around. It was the interaction between you and the soldiers to your left and right. All they were were AI with a name color-coordinated depending on how hurt they were. But when you've been fighting through Bastogne, pushing each objective alongside PVT Smith and SGT Johnson, simple AI but keeping up with you every step of the way, you get attached to them. And watching them get cut down by an MG42 or pinged by a sniper was truly heart-wrenching. I definitely miss that feeling and I hope this game recaptures that.
Spiderman has had the least reboots out of all the main superheroes but people always say it has too many reboots, there have been endless batmen and supermen but people always hop on spiderman
Oliver Croft because it happened 3 times in the last 10 years, batman or superman have done it maybe twice in 10 years
So has spiderman, Spiderman 3 came out in 2007, The Amazing Spiderman came out in 2012, Spiderman Homecoming is coming out on 2017, there's been 10 years between Holland and Maguire, people say it like there's a spiderman coming out every 2 years with a new guy
Oliver Croft but these are all very memorably close together. Most of the other hero movies are not. granted this current iteration of batman is very close to the last there is a lot of time between the last and the one before that. same with superman. whereas spidey has 5 years between the first, the second, and the third.
AI Let's Play is an amalgamation of concepts I've seen before, tied together in a way that I have not seen before, but Big Knee Lover showed me something that I not only had not seen before, but could not even have imagined.
What was going on @18:00?
Cranked my speakers to the loudest, she said that there were some fans outside wanting to meet them. After that I couldn't hear her but since Bruce said "Just in-case" I'm guessing she asked if she should lock the doors or something. Then she said someone came from New Zealand to meet them, and Bruce said "aw, New Zealand? Naw I'm sorry"
Matt Broad I think a fan from New Zelamd came to the studio out of nowhere, and the intern let them know.
A fan from New Zealand showed up and wanted to meet them, with no notice. Bruce felt bad that they came all the way from New Zealand, but if they go out to meet one fan they have to meet everyone who shows up. Fans need to understand that although they're cool people they are working and running a business. They can't, and shouldn't, just drop everything they're doing to meet you.
The two visiters were me and my dad hahaha we came over and were staying nearby so I wanted to see where they film their stuff. Man still cool that I kind of got featured in the show though.
Alex Marriott That's pretty creepy dude. Really hope you didnt come all the way from new zealand specifically expecting to come to their office unannounced and be welcomed in open arms, thats akin to a stalker.
i actually love the pre recorded podcasts of them all around a computer, kinda old style way more then the new way with the set and everything.
might just be me though.
Am I the only one that noticed this COD game is about "The bloody First" aka "The Big Red One"?? As in "Call of Duty 2: The big red one"
Jose Dutra No. and why does it matter what US army division they portray anyway ?
Normally an audio listener. So glad I had some spare time and watched the video instead. James and Bruce's reactions during the pro flower ad read were priceless.
come on spyro is great
Adam is such a gentleman, i'm proud of you man!
Call of Duty Wild West XD
It's not just me that likes this setup a lot better than the other, right? It feels more like I am hanging out with them while one of "us" is playing a game. Much more chill and relaxing in my opinion.
Whats going on with the usual set LAWrence?
Tal Busfield This was pretaped. They usually do it like this when they pretape
Tal Busfield they were on a bus.
Ahh that's right LPL, if only they did one on the tour bus...
Tal Busfield that sounds like a terrible idea lol
Yeah Bruce could like spill his expired juice and shit...
Elyse failing at Voodoo Vince was the highlight of my day!!!!!!!
Adam's so salty about people liking A.I Kizuna
He's an old man who's mad about the future. There are always gonna be people like that.
I think someone might be a little intimidated with how shitty TH-cam has been lately, and how something simple is becoming successful.
Dezi Plays I was just being sarcastic with my original comment, but I would argue that I don't think it's as simple as it seems. I don't know personally, but it seems like that channel is a bit of a production. I don't think it's just one person and a couple computer programs.
Nah I could tell, but throughout the podcast he didn't show much interest in any of the discussions so I guessing he just wasn't in the mood or was tired with all the prep for lets play live. I agree with the thought of it being a production, I don't think one single person could manage all that by themselves and upload regularly
Ah yeah, I can see what you mean now. Maybe you're right.
26:00 James and Bruce's reactions to Elyse fucking up are hilarious
Ai chan is the best thing to ever happen to youtube. Sorry Adam.
I love how happy Elyse looks when playing.
World at War was set during WWII.. Why are they making another game in the same period and how will it be different?
Adam Bailey Aide world at war came out a long time ago
18:42 love how indignantly Elyse shrieks back at Lawrence's comment.
Elyse in that skirt... Must... Not... Look... Happy late birthday Elyse!
Most people dont realize how insane the korean war was. especially if you focus on the famous frozen chosin. there is actually a huge opportunity in the korean war just like battlefield with WWI. I highly recommend to anyone interested int the korean war to read give me tomorrow. It is a fantastic book that highlights how crazy the korean war got and how crazy it is that it is essentially forgotten
No strawpoll
I love that adam actually did this on his channel, i just hope he can find his way back out of the anime dimension.
BF1 weapons and vehicles were WAYYYYYYY blown out of proportion. You can just carry around a fucking FULLY AUTOMATIC LIGHTWEIGHT machine gun that you accurately aim down sights and fire?
Yeah right. Kiss my ass. The fully automatic weaponry was basically only reserved for stationary use and inside of bunkers and fucking required a full crew to operate. Not only that, they jammed constantly and overheated so often sustained fire past a few seconds could melt the metal of the gun. Your typical foot soldier was given a bolt-action rifle. Yes they were different types bolt-action rifles and that would vary further depending on what country you served, but no, the gun you start with can be shot non stop, full auto, accurately with ADS and is just a shit on the level technology back then.
BF1 is a shit on WWI history.
CCKillbilly tell us something we dont know
CCKillbilly Not to mention the indestructible tanks rolling around everywhere over mud and sand without breaking down, and the biplanes that handle like F-22s. It was just a generic American shooter with a slightly older paint job. Still very fun, but not accurate at all. Not a single trench in sight! And an American focus ffs...
CCKillbilly we should just make really unfun games and people will buy them right?
You're right. Fun shit fucking sucks. I'll go sell my copy
Yeah except dice didn't claim it to be "the most realistic and authentic experience" like Cod devs did codww2
I always get the U2 song Ultraviolet confused with the other U2 song Until the End of the World. So as an extension of that, Adam briefly convinced me that the Wim Wenders film Until the End of the World was actually about vampires. (13:25)
They should have made the new cod about the British during the war and try to tie it to the Dunkirk movie but no we are getting another WW2 game from US who didn't even join until the end of 1941.
Wigwam09 I get where you're coming from but you say this like the US wasn't a major part of the war
jokeman1212
The last time I played as a Brit in a WW2 game was in CoD 2.
jokeman1212 I bet nobody is trying to sell the US short, it's just getting stale to watch the same conflict always from the same perspective. There are so many battlefields and conflicts we never get to see just because the US wasn't involved or not involved at the time.
jokeman1212 I just feel that us brits are under represented in WW2 games and movies as we fought through the whole war 1939-1945 on all fronts yet the US takes all the glory not that war is glorious
Why not have a game about the commandos or a Vietnam style about the fighting in Burma
I bought myself a MVMT watch because of you guys (and my exams) I appreciate the discount!
Woo, so _glad_ we get to storm the beaches of Normandy _again_ as the US Army. Not like there were any other fronts and any other combatants that took part in the Second *_World_* War that haven't been done to death in every WW2 shooter ever made.
Seriously, it was trite and boring when Medal of Honor did it, and it's still trite now.
Cobalt Conqueror that's right!! we should all be as nazis!
And if those nations want a game to tell their story, they can make their own damned game. It's an American company, it's going to tell the American story.
I completely 100% agree with you though, D-Day is not even fun to play, it's especially bad for multiplayer games.
+BirdyLegs I'm pretty sure just becasue the company is american doesn't mean it will tell an american story; that point is invalid. They'll just do what they think panders to the most people as they're a multination coorporation, or what is the most interesting.
thames21, yes because there was only one battle and since youve played the winning side in that battle you have no choice to play the loosing side in that battle. Its not like there were lots of different battles all over the WORLD in a WORLD WAR, that would be ridicuous
To be fair, World at War let you play half the game as a Russian soldier, and let you play the other half as an American fighting in Japan.
The logical step for cod is to explore just crazy time travel or parallel universes tbh. That way they can do whatever the fuck they want without worrying about time period accuracy, or having to include exo suits in a futuristic setting
lol out come the complaints
"That's good background noise" - Lawrence
That's exactly why I like Dude Soup. Fucking Meta.
wheres the strawpoll?
Lawrence won. He officially had a Let's Play of them watching an anime robot do a Let's Play. Well played.
I love Ai Kizuna
AmadoMayday shes getting somewhat mainstream, atleast in the anime community
I saw Ultraviolet. Actually, the last time you guys mentioned it on the podcast, I ranted about it, raising the same points. Sat through the whole movie without realizing they were vampires (nothing in the movie infers it, they just start hissing at each other in the last fight scene), and weird briefcase kid floating in liquid silver. You guys forgot to mention when the Triad surrounded her and held her at gunpoint. Surrounded. In a circle. Pointing guns. Because that can't go wrong.
1:10
that is all
upskirt?
giggity
Kiddo thanks for making it creepy
I dont get it?
I feel extremely sorry for you if you were actually talking about when she literally only crossed her legs. You're pathetic get some irl friends you sad disgusting creep.
Big knee I got you. You represent a much more niche portion of the net. You got this.
29:55 Youll thank me later.
Thank you. Was hoping someone caught something.
I could watch James, watching Elyse play a game all day. All he needs is a Charlie Chaplin mustache and hat!
If Elyse doesn't want to be part of this then I don't want to be part of this. Unsubbed.
24:19 James' eye switched when Elyse said Vudu Vince reminds her of psychonauts lmao.
Guys id like to see elyse in the front in the next one olease
James was talking about cutting together movies the best combo would be hidden figures+ space chimps
Last chance? I mean no offence or anything but every fucker and thier dog knows we are getting more and more COD's with more and more shitty DLC that isn't worth it.
Connor Handforth Yes, but it's CoD's last chance of redemption with it's older fans. This new game is setting some hype for the fans that had long waited for a CoD with boots on the ground, and if WW2 flops, they will just give up the franchise entirely, like many done so after BO2
Adam and Laurence are the mean older brothers and Bruce is the nice dad.

I'm here to clarify on the whole Vocaloid matter, if no one has already. Hatsune Miku was created by Crypton Future Media by having someone come in (in this case famous voice actress Fujita Saki) and record her vocalizing every single sound in every tone possible within the Japanese language. Then, the music writing software is produced and either professional or up-and-coming composers can buy it and publish their songs with Miku as the singer.
For example Hatsune Miku is the singer for both "Black Rock Shooter" and "Senbonzakura" but the composers are different. So both Adam and James are half correct in that Vocaloids are completely robot (Adam) but there are hundreds of people coming together to write songs for her.
Please make Bruce a Vocaloid, we could always match it up with his sound board
Hey... that girl that came in was kind of cute
how is it you guys can be talking and I don't understand whats going on in the beginning but you still make me laugh.
COD trying to still stay relevant.
It was the top selling game of 2016 for PS4 so I think it's very relevant.
Infinite Warfare? Lmao.
Pokemon GO won the best mobile/handheld game in 2016, doesn't make it good and/or relevant.
Art.
It's obviously relevant. It's trending on social media almost 24/7. Just because you hate the game it doesn't mean you can just shove your ignorant bias on it and suddenly it has 0 players or fans. Grow up man
Lawrence's ad reads are the best.

Am I the only person who gets annoyed when people call games like COD or Battlefield realistic? I understand it's a video game and I perfectly understand trading realism for fun, but in Battlefield 1 you can put on a suit of armor and run around with a machine gun. Realistic? I don't think so.
But people actually did that
"Realistic" refers to the visual aesthetics of the game; not the gameplay mechanics. Both COD and BF go for the photorealistic look.
Griffospike people did have metal armour and run around with a machine gun
Griffospike people actually did that, though. Everything in BF1 existed at that time. Go watch FlakFire's videos about BF1 if you don't want to Google it yourself.
No, they didn't. There was some applique metal plate armor typically worn on the chest area used by a few soldiers on both sides but it proved too heavy and cumbersome and could only protect against fragments and small caliber pistol rounds so the idea was largely abandoned. I've played Battlefield 1 and what they showed was a full armored knight dude going "juggernaut" on hundreds of Austrian-Hungarian troops. Not only would that suit be ridiculously heavy to even walk in but in they game they have you free wielding a heavy machine gun too. Conclusion: The game took excessive liberties, therefore OP's point is valid.
Good on Lawrence for having proper citations
You guys always being so adverse to sports is strange. Your demos are probably like that too but it's weird for you alpha bros to not enjoy watching objective competition.
Magic Catfish sportz ball
Magic Catfish "You guys are alpha males, so why don't you like things that other alpha males like?"
Sports are stupid as hell
Dale So are video games. But they are both enjoyable
"Is the light on? Yeah, yeah it is..."
And that was the last anyone saw of Front Desk Girl.
Strangely, Lawrence was in great spirits the next day, despite his blistered, mud-caked hands.
Mount & Blade: Napoleonic would provide a fairly decent glimpse of what a COD/BF game would play like if set in an earlier period.
I like how Elyse is just there to play the game while they talk lol
It wasn't Allied Assault, it was MOH Frontline where you storm the beaches of Normandy!
I think you just watched M.A.S.H. adam. The three phase Korean War was actually pretty action packed including 1 million Chinese soldiers and the gnarliest flank in military history.
