It was the fall of 2019 when two best friends decided it was time to take their conversations and release them to the internet in the form of a podcast. What was originally birthed out of a shared love for Halo ended up becoming so much more.

Should Xbox Put Halo AND Gears on ICE?!
Man I would do anything to go back in time. I was in 2nd grade when halo 2 came out and man I played that thing every single day after school and every single weekend any chance I could get. Me and my brother had our 360’s in the basement of our old house and always played together online in the same room.
Best memories were always at another friends house. Red vs Blue, good food and good times. So glad I lived through those halo/ gears times.
im still listening to this.🤩❤🔥
Just had a massive 12 person lan last night. Was awesome and sooooo nostalgic
@@nashwalker7 dude that’s dope as hell!
It's crazy seeing your faces. Finally, i usually listen to you guys on Pandora Radio for podcasts and love listening to you guys. Keep it up.
Started up pc halo(original) lan with my son and mom, getting his friends into it. Got the capacity and equipment for at least a 4v4 match.
I personally love how halo is becoming more inclusive to people of lower ages, I shouldn’t have been playing Halo 3 if I followed the rating, if 343 ever makes a good Halo game (or great), the TEEN rating would make it so much easier to get this game.
Honestly, I'd drive across the country to have a halo 2 LAN party with some random internet people I've never met.
Man, it's like you're telling a story about the greatest time in my life, no worries, just a bunch of friends playing video games, sneaking out, skipping school. Not a worry in the world back then, all I wanted to do was to be better at BXR'ing than my friends lmao
I went back to Starfield... reinstalled while waiting for the new patch in Star Citizen to drop. Starfield is weird, there is so much wrong with it and away from the game it's so easy to indentify all it's dumb issues and yet, I actually enjoy it wihle I'm playing. The update and Creations has added a lot to it and I can't lie, I'm really liking it right now. It works in short intense bursts, I play it solidly for a month and they it just drops off a cliff and becomes boring and repeatative. I suppose it's a love/hate thing, like many gams for me these days.
The thing that caught me off guard was " got my own house" Crazy.
@@EXxCloudEXx I was a little late to the game, I was 24!
so wholesome May Allah (S.W.T.) guide you and bestow upon you His Blessings; Ameen.
What has multiplayer parties becoming these days now?
The Xbox system link cable is a crossover cable, not the standard (At the time) Cat5. To use it for more than 2 systems your hub/switch would need to have auto-crossover detection.
"Too many puppies!"
Tooo many puppiiiieeess!!
@@SacredIcon haha yes!
🤘🎮🍻
what a load of crap by Josh near the end. If you couldn't fulfil your promise once or twice, it's understandable. Shit happens. But if it happens times and times again like with Xbox, you HAVE to take accountability and the lost in trust is deserved.
Even just a few years back, my son, my brother, my sister, our friend and I would do a weekly lan party. And order a bunch of Little Caesar's. And stay up super late playing back to back 50 waves of Gears Of War 3 horde mode. We still do it at times but, onlime together now. As my brother & sister moved out of state. Wish we still did the weekly local lan party
I would love to do GOW3 LAN but it seems like LAN doesn't work between xbox series X and xbox 360 for some reason on that game
@@andree1991 true, it doesn't seem to unfortunately.
Have started playing again, and find it soooo much improved. This game is clearly headed in a great direction.
So glad I got to experience this era as a kid. I had so many halo 2 parties at my house growing up. Had 20 kids stuffed into two bedrooms right next to each other. Dominoes pizza, air soft guns, halo 2. Deadly combo for a bunch of rowdy teenagers. My parents dealt with a lot hahaha. Those days were awesome.
💥
Finally a good podcast channel! Great video, the day I get dishonored is the day Arkane shuts down. What are the odds
Xbox has sucked ever since the Xbox One in 2013. Garbage console name schemes, garbage physical design, garbage bland UI, garbage games all wrapped up by its attempt to ban used games, force creepy always on cameras and force always online. Xbox needs to stop trying to appease 100% of people and go back to targeting the main demographic i.e., gamers.
You guys have the best chemistry. I need this all the time lol
The three of us was magic!
I really loved this giving each side of the argument i love the passion guys
Battle of the beards sorry my money on home country Joe lol
You boys have been cooking! Love the Hat Joe, love the hair Bryan and love the beard Joshy. You boys looking pretty fly for some white guys
When Joshy gets on, we listen. 😁
Can’t believe it’s a year later and the Xbox drama hasn’t cooled at all. Crazy.
No, I'm not a fan of Ubithesdazzard.
No reason to re-install, just sits in Steam library with only 216.7 hours played, I tried I did really, I did try.
Around the same hours here and I don't think any mods could really bring me back. Unless there's a mod that remakes the whole game
Very articulate Their version of DOOM was a pretty decent adaptation but definitely more goofy like Fallout 4
Thanks for this comment, really appreciate it. Would love to have you in our discord. Invite is in the video description!

Rockstar is the GOAT. They break the records and sell more games.
I'm just waiting for the next Bethesda game so another game developer makes the new best RPG in history: 2015 Witcher 3 2023 baldurs gate
no. the answer is no
Shame. 🙃
And another comment - because I like your discussion very much. The engine thing and other games/developers. When it comes to quality, especially writing, character, story and such, I think Bethesda is well below the curve whats possible. I don´t say it´s bad, I only say that it doesn´t feel fresh, new or exciting. That all has nothing to do with the engine but for me, that´s the most crucial part when it comes to fun in a rpg game. The Witcher 3 is one of the greatest games ever made. But is it a good role playing game? You play an existing character, don´t have many real choices, don´t have the possibility to individualize your character that much, have an Ubisoft-like map with checklist things to do. The thing with The Witcher 3 or Read Dead Redemption is - the story is better, the dialogues are better, the characters are better, the presentation is top notch. Smallprint is completly right - if you only play Bethesda games - good. But if you play current games, Bethesda looses more and more ground in nearly every aspect of what a game can be. So - should Bethesda develop on another engine, like Unreal? I mean they could, but you would have the not so good writing and loose a whole lot of identity because how the creation engine works. Especially with modding capabilities. What would be left? Bethesda makes special games and as a fan who doesn´t rate any of their games as masterpieces in their vanilla state, I do not want them to change and become one of many many developers, who feel the same.
First of all, thanks for this comment and the very kind words, we're glad you loved what we discussed! Your comment is very well-written and I align with nigh on all of your points. I also often think that in their own world, Bethesda's games are fundamentally great video games it's just that once you include the relativity and comparisons, they start to fall behind the industry like you've said in more ways than one. My concern with moving the engine isn't just in the common consensus concern of "losing that Bethesda identity" but in that we'd lose that platform-like modding capabilities (like you said once again) and that would drastically limit the shelf life of their games more than ten fold. Love this comment, so much so that I think you'd be great to speak to more often and we'd hate to lose you by way of the internet rabbit hole! If you would like, feel free to join our discord at the following link if you haven't already: discord.gg/EhjguX927c we'd definitely love to have you there! 😁
The Elder Scrolls 6 I think it won´t be rushed. Maybe there´ll be another game before it´s launch, maybe another Fallout, but I guess it would be a remake of F3 developed by another studio. But when it comes to TES6, I´m with you. Release in 2028, better graphics and gameplay. On par talent-trees, rpg-mechanics, quests, writing and dialogue (which is good and bad simultaneously) like in former entries. Lack of focus. Not state of the art in anything. I think Bethesda looks at statistics to decide what may be the most fun for players. "People fast travelled a lot in Skyrim. People liked dungeons in Skyrim. So lets get the players as quickly as possible through fast-traveling to the dungeons in Starfield!" To be honest, I don´t think that the team behind these games is dumb. The developers know that all the loading screens aren´t fun. They wanted the possibility to land directly on planets. They couldn´t figure it out. They wanted more special content like vehicles, mechs and so on. I think they didn´t had the time to bring all these systems together. The good thing is - Starfields potential when it comes to modding. No Bethesda game had so much space to play with and there are rumors that the new creation kit is much more easier and better than the old one. Starfield may be a really good game in a few years, IF talented modders are willing to spend their time on it.
I don´t get the "better 7 than 1000 planets" argument. The 1000 planets as you know aren´t handmade. It´s only a number. It could have been 100, 1000 or 100000 planets. For the devs that´s all the same thing. No less or more ressources. So they wouldn´t have had more ressources by lowering the amount of planets. The big amount is only an immersion thing. No real content. Is that bad or good? It depends I guess. The only thing that matters is what the devs do with the "quest-planets". So WHAT Bethesda should have done? Lower the amount of planets where the questlines take place. You have to go to Mars, then you go to Venus, then you go to XYZ. That´s a big problem. Many chapters of a questline would feel better, if they would take place on one planet. And there, between two locations on a map,they should have built some hand-crafted side-content, spawn random encounters, tell some enviromental stories... But - why the many barren planets? Well, I think the answer could be the Starborn/artifact thing. I don´t like the concept of that at all. But if the artifacts would be on those barren planets, without the Eye station seeing them. If you could find riddles, memos... giving you hints to the places the artifacts are, random in every playthrough, then I think these planets would make more sense. A few really scary Alien creatures here and there (especially in caves), handcrafted things which have super low possibilities to spawn... I guess Starfied would be much more enjoyable. (and direct flight in solar-systems...)
Grab an ice cold crispy coca-cola out of the fridge and add half a bottle of water to it and tell me if it tastes better. That’s the difference between just 7 quality planets and 1,000 that are meaningless.
@@SacredIcon I can drink the Coke without the water, even if the water stands right next to it 🙂 Do you really think the Coke would taste better, if their wasn´t water?? So delete all the barren planets with no handcrafted quest content from the current game. What would you get instead? Akila, Neon, Mars, Jemison, Venus, the moon... all planets with the same content we have now. One hand-crafted quest-hub and a few random POIs on each big planet. The only thing is - all the other meaningless systems and planets are gone. You wouldn´t gain 7 quality planets automatically instead. Someone has to build this quality, Bethesda didn´t. Not because they built the 1000 planets - these planets were build automatically. What you and I want is more and better content on some planets. The difference is - the other barren planets don´t bother me at all.
Ran into this while deep cleaning my game room. You guys are fun and easy to listen to. Thanks for the company 👍
Appreciate this comment, thank you!
Starfield and ODST are absolute dogshit.
Well, no idea where ODST came into this conversation but nice work! 😁
Not for me but glad for everyone still playing and who have yet to play.
