TLPodcast - E4 - TLP Infamous talks fallout, war thunder and world of tanks! Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 well thank you for tuning in today we have a special guest TLP Infamous welcome in TJ how's it going guys pretty good good doing good DJ all right well how long do we want to dive into let's talk first things first you are in TLP how long have you been in TLP uh I've been in TLP for about I want to say two and a half to three years now
• 00:30 - 01:00 but I've been playing with TLP for about what hopp you think like 10 12 years maybe at least 10 years at least years at least 10 years what game did you start on with when you met TLP so quick introduction of how I knew met TP mainly because of through hoppy um because you know as you guys told everyone before uh your dad and your uncle were
• 01:00 - 01:30 the creators of TLP and I have known you guys for a long time and when I started playing Xbox with you guys um we all met up with the TLP members on World of Tanks that was the first game that really got introduced to all the TLP members themselves but knowing you for what we were in grade school yeah we were Junior High at least yep yeah uh World of Tanks I think
• 01:30 - 02:00 that's a good subject to dive into I mean you know a lot of the old school guys from World tanks I think even a lot of members today don't even know about so talk talk to us about when you first started the world of tanks and kind of what got you going what line did you start what tanks were you looking to grind I mean the whole nitty-gritty details of that so first getting into tanks um I was looking at what tech tra
• 02:00 - 02:30 grind you know we were I think 2014 when we started playing tanks together I think you were playing a little bit before that when it was like a beta right yeah we were Alpha testers yeah oh yeah and uh you got me to hop on to it after the game was fully released I think it's been out for probably what like at least six months before we started playing like I started playing with you and then didn't really know what direction to go and some of the TLP guys guided me you know to run a couple different lines to
• 02:30 - 03:00 get like a different feel for different play style tanks and I ended up ultimately sticking with going with the American heavy tank route for my first tier 10 I think now I'm up to like about 26 different tier 10 on the game yeah yeah yeah you put on tanks back then good grind I can't remember when the game officially first came out Tater you kind of have a better memory of this how many lines were in World of Tanks I know
• 03:00 - 03:30 there was like America Germany and the Alpha and the beta but I don't remember when the full game came out what all lines were there was it just USSR America and Germany it was those three and it was that was that's what I was going to say it was Russia Germany and American lines for sure but I think there was French maybe was there okay okay I don't remember French I know that like the Japanese line came way later in the game and Czechoslovakia and all and polish all those tanks came
• 03:30 - 04:00 a later and I know like the Japanese it's kind of it was kind of weird that they didn't have Japanese tanks because Japan was building tanks right from the beginning with everybody else so I always thought it was just freaking like really weird that they never had it but I do remember I think like all of us pretty much went up like the T1 heavy line because that was like the biggest nastiest tank in the game when the game come out right so which which then led to the the E5 so I think pretty much everybody's first tier 10 I mean not
• 04:00 - 04:30 mine but everybody's first tier 10 was an E5 mine was a 183 um was 215b 183 um and I that tank was such a monster back in the day it was so stupid you could just one click boom dead every single person you sha is like they're dead now I'm going to back up and reload for four minutes and then we're going to do it again so it was you had to have the Heavies with you I remember um have you had to have Heavies with you because you get swarmed and it was game over and then and uh the the
• 04:30 - 05:00 waffle E100 was another big hitter back in the days and the exil yeah the the yag Zilla I remember we always called the 183 Death Star yag Zilla was Finger of God and it was it just once again just dead you know every single time and then the waffle would always be there to back everybody up with because I think back then it had a six round autoloader in it it doesn't may a five round autoloader but it would just melt anything that tried to come around corner on you you know it was
• 05:00 - 05:30 while the other guys were reloading and then the big big boys would pull back out again while that waffle reloaded and that was pretty much the end of anybody that tried to go around a corner on you with those three and we still play like that too right we still play like that the rbo combo yeah exilla in a w you just oh man it's absolute destruction nobody will usually touch you when they see the first couple guys get melted and then it's and the light tanks love to play Rope A Dope with the waffle back in the day cuz I mean that six round dude
• 05:30 - 06:00 all you'd be chasing that light tank thinking you had a freebie come around the corner and you're gone your your your ammo rack is hit you're tracked and they still got four more rounds put in you well if you remember terrible back in the day like the tiers didn't match right like you would run tier like seven and eight light tanks up into tier 10 and even some tier five light tanks played up to tier 10 well yeah the the chaffes were top tier light tanks when they were only tier five oh yeah and it was long time
• 06:00 - 06:30 yeah it was man you could play and that that went on for forever right pretty much almost until I think Cold War dropped when they when they redid all that stuff may have been right before Cold War dropped they redid where you can only play the same tier now which I think it's kind of a bummer because you get guys on the grind you know and and they don't have a tier six in the line that you're playing tier sixes in they might have the five it it kind of sucks that you can't do that or you're grinding with a buddy and that buddy gets through it before you do then he's stuck playing
• 06:30 - 07:00 it until you get there right so that always kind of sucks always kind of sucks well TJ I have a couple of your stats in World of Tanks would you like to hear how many battles you've played in World of Tanks yeah why don't you take a stab take a guess how many times you've pushed the Go Button in that game I'm going to guess maybe 2,600 tried 9,359 times there how many
• 07:00 - 07:30 times that's how many think it was that takes so yeah you you you would definitely have some experience in that in that game yeah so yeah oh yeah a lot of time yeah what do you think we all got some Fair time oh for sure what do you think your most played tank is uh it has to be the E5 I'm trying to I'm trying to get through it on my phone here which is is cumbersome because my computer's busy it is definitely the E5 588 battles in the E5
• 07:30 - 08:00 yeah I figured that it's also one of your best Play tanks too I don't know if you know that oh yeah I used that tank I not even lying to you I know some people will argue with me about it but dude I used to brawl yag Zilla head-to-head with it I know hoppy has been there fir hand and seen me do it you just wiggle your hul a little bit and they can't hit that soft spot cannot hit that soft spot um you know you had some rats place for sure in that oh yeah I was I was a rat person in that tank dude I I piss some
• 08:00 - 08:30 people off yeah for sure the thing I remember about the E5 mostly is when when it came out it was an absolute animal on the battlefield right and it and then it kind of got I wouldn't say it got nerfed but it got power crep real bad to all these other tanks were just getting better than it and better than it and then they got a huge buff a couple years back and it it came right back up in a really good tank again really really good now I don't I mean that's the same thing with like the 215b that thing was crap for a while it was great then it was crap that was great
• 08:30 - 09:00 again I mean my brother plays 215b all the time he loves that tank and oh sorry go ahead te I was the thing about the E5 it's it's you can use it a lot of different ways it's a heavy tank yes but it plays more like a medium so you can pretty fast yeah you can play it two different styles and get good results you just have to know how to play that tank what I noticed play I played the E5 a lot too and what I've noticed on the E5 is you can't just go
• 09:00 - 09:30 head-to-head with the big boys most of the time he used to be able to do a lot but you can't anymore so much um just because its armor isn't quite up to par with some of the other um super Heavies that are in the game you know like the E100 at the time would would murder it Head to Head bumped up nose to nose it would murder the E5 and a lot of other ones too 215b would do it and I mean of course like you know the big Japanese super Heavies they're it's no type five I think right type five yeah shooting all that H all the time
• 09:30 - 10:00 man those things will they just wh you down Whittle you down you can't pin them so and you know a tank that I played that plays very similar to that was the Super Persian um I don't know if you played that it was a premium tank I got it a long time ago and it was an absolute beast but it played exactly like the E5 so when I got to the E5 I was like man ready to go I didn't have to play the E5 already because I play tanks similar to it yeah
• 10:00 - 10:30 yeah I remember back in the day my my first my first 10 was an is-7 do you remember when that thing used to rule the the battlefield impenetrable yeah 100% impenetrable you have a is-7 te uh I believe so I'd have to it it's been a little bit since I've checked my Russian like Tech Tree to see what I have and what I don't have but I think I think I was because we were running uh you remember Ram Panzer days in the the
• 10:30 - 11:00 old tier five Panzer me hoppy and someone else I can't it might have been mutator where running ramp Panzer in tier 10 and I was using my e50m but I think I ended up getting the is7 to run it with you guys because you guys were running i7s and how we were playing that play style yeah it was that was an interesting play style because nobody would ever expect it like you take a map where you had anywhere you could flank and you go up cuz I have seven so fast you get up there with all the correct equipment on it
• 11:00 - 11:30 speed and and uh and ramming damage and all that stuff you know you get up on top of something and RAM someone with it especially two or three of them and it was pretty much yeah you're pretty much like your gun your gun was your secondary weapon at that point right like you didn't use the bumpers the primary and you just shoot anything else that didn't die on the first round you know and it's gun is good too right is-7's gun is good yeah I think it has a good pin and it does good damage too what is it a is a one 25 or 122
• 11:30 - 12:00 millimeter or is it 130 I don't remember I think it's a I think it's a 120 but I mean I remember when we did that you know you could hit somebody for 650 and then you shoot them and you're doing 450 oh yeah so you know you're doing almost 11 12,000 or 1,200 damage right there and you know there's three of us we would break those lines create an opening for the team and we usually set them up to win I mean we probably die in
• 12:00 - 12:30 the process but there was a few times we didn't we just keep going but we take out at least oh yeah yeah raming with is7 was never a a mission you ever expected to come back from in one piece you just you did the RAM and and you did what damage you could and that was it and you always did more damage than your tank had health right that's like the biggest thing in World of Tanks if you're doing more damage than you have health you're usually doing a having a pretty decent game and then obviously if you double or triple that you're having
• 12:30 - 13:00 a pretty good game but oh yeah you what uh you usually win that match you almost almost every time you know you'd let it' just break one one side of the other team and then our team would roll through and finish you know you get a big big flank then big flank yeah te um I got one more thing about the is7 I remember playing the is7 my first time playing that tank and I'm out bobbing around doing my thing and I really know how to play it and this Ry round comes in from God knows where hits the top of the turret
• 13:00 - 13:30 and bounced off and I was like oh I like this [Laughter] tanky was a death sentence too oh yeah yeah Arty was gnarly man everybody cuz we used to be able to run you know the other extra tiers you didn't have to run tier 10s all the time with your buddies I'd run that tier 9 m55 all the time what a hammer that thing was man it's fast reload and accurate super accurate just Crush everyone with that thing and if you remember you'd be four or five
• 13:30 - 14:00 arties on each team A lot of times it was just ridiculous how how fun Arty was and and even in the early early games all the tanks started loaded you didn't have to reload right to start the game so you could just go right to their spawn and eat one and almost always hit something that was always like free kill you know bang bang went into their spawn so I got the most hate mail ever on that game whenever I played my Arty oh me too by far you were German already right
• 14:00 - 14:30 gdubs yeah GDB I think the most hate Mill I got on World of Tanks was from my bat chat oh I got some gnarly gnarly hate mail in the Heyday of the batch hat the batch Hat's not nearly as good as it used to be but that thing ruled World of Tanks for a long time actually if you looked up stats on the top like 100 players in the game they were all running consistent batch outs all the time that's why I went and got it I was like that tank must be really good if all the top players are playing it and it is really really good always was you could whip
• 14:30 - 15:00 around someone unload I think it was six rounds at the time I believe right it was six rounds straight into the back of their tank dead take off darting to reload and do it again to someone else oh yeah and you go right into a pack of people and they just couldn't turn their guns on you fast enough couldn't turn the gun as fast as you could run the tank so you just outrun their outrun their gun barrel that was so much fun doing that and then you know when the bat chat fell from from its place in the in top tank in the game all those light tanks tier 10 light tanks came up and
• 15:00 - 15:30 those things they're still doing it with those tier eight light tanks are really really good as well I mean you look at the ru251 that thing is a absolute monster it always has been and and now they got even you know better ones up in the nines and tens but still so yeah the French barbecue premium tier eight I know that's a medium but it plays like a light oh yeah and the gun on it insane I mean that's that's a damn good tank
• 15:30 - 16:00 the barbecue pit the baresque yep so much fun that and I mean you get that two shot autoloader and it's reload still pretty fast it's not terrible you you're bang bang and then you're backing up for like a few few seconds and then you're right back out shooting again so and spotting range is ridiculous oh yeah yeah and then especially in tier eight like when you don't get out tiered in that tank you can rule with that tank right yeah there's no hiding from it if there's a 678 game and you're in that with that
• 16:00 - 16:30 tank it's game over for anybody that's not in that tank yeah pretty much poor guy in the tier six oh yeah he's back there in a VK 3601 or something just begging misery a tog to I I could tell I could tell you guys a pretty good joke about a tog to but it's way too long that's a good one yeah uh the old talkg too I think that was the first premium wasn't it I don't know if it was
• 16:30 - 17:00 the first one but I remember when it came out it was an absolute hammer it was ridiculous it's like the modern day T4 oh maybe the T14 the T14 might I still have my T14 really yeah I like my I like my little T14 dude I don't think I ever bought it I got it for free I think oh yeah you got it for free for playing the um alpha or beta right yeah something like that I think I still have a T14 as well you know what tank I really really
• 17:00 - 17:30 really miss and I sold it and I can never get it back is the T1 Cunningham I played that tanks the tier one remember when we used to play tier ones and twos oh yeah it was a tier one American Tank and it thing that thing was so fast no one could touch it man everybody else's [ __ ] tractor yeah yeah oh wow that's that's an OG one right [Music] there those were fun the T1 Cunningham I remember that that was the first tank I ever played on that game cuz I was trying in the alpha trying to get to
• 17:30 - 18:00 that uh what was that it was the tier five was the top dog in the alpha T1 cun T1 or T1 heavy yeah excuse me T1 heavy yeah I did really good the T1 heavy I I play that tank amazingly every time I play that tank I love that tank so much fun I still play it good and the crazy thing about it that I learned is you don't put the Big Barrel on it you go down to one of the smaller barrels and it's reload time is is like two or 3 seconds might be like a 3 second reload
• 18:00 - 18:30 and it's just bang bang bang bang and then nobody really pays attention because you're only knocking 100 points off or 150 you know and then the next thing you know they're down to nothing and you're just bang bang bang on repeat you know blow their tracks off and then shoot at their hole and then blow their track off again and shoot at their hole because their repair time is way [ __ ] longer than your reload time is so so much F you remember how brutal the M3
• 18:30 - 19:00 Lee was in the Alpha Testing days it was almost I think a lot of people quit the Ala just because they couldn't get past the M3 Lee the brutal grind I was actually just going to ask you guys what your least favorite tank is and I was going to say it was M3 Lee mine was that was the least favorite tank for me and I almost like you said I almost quit the game over that tank um and I was like everybody kept telling me like just push through it just push through it it's terrible and yeah it was bad it was the the it had no no turret
• 19:00 - 19:30 Traverse at all on it right pretty much like it was like it's all pretty sure uh I'm pretty sure he used the front gun on the M3 Lee Short yeah little swivel and it was off to the side it was freaking weird yeah it was so hard notna lie I I like that tank more than the M4 that came after the Sherman after it the mini jumbo sh there was some bad Shermans bad Shermans real bad cuz that was back when
• 19:30 - 20:00 I think there was only I think like two Shermans in the game there was just the normal M4 and the jumbo and that first and for man that was that was a rough tank for me but had a terrible gun oh yeah it was bad mhm that was one of my least favorites the other one was probably like the at15 and at7 and at8 all those super slow crap tanks you had to grind through to get the 183 they were so took me so long to get the 183
• 20:00 - 20:30 because I just get stuck in those tanks and I never get a kill and now better like you play them now and they're decent they're not a bad tank anymore but back in the day they were trash man they were fast reloading but you couldn't pen anything and you could move you just you were stuck right where you were every every time tortois took that same concept but had a really good gun on it and it was a beast in tier n good armor too tier n to tier n yes absolute hammer and then it
• 20:30 - 21:00 went to crap when it got power crapped and they did buff the P speres back and it's been a lot better but um I think that's maybe one of the best bank for your buck lines on World of Tanks World War II because you go from the tortoise and you can get the badger or the 183 or or both if if you grind both of them and I mean it is that way in the German Tain d line too right the grill 15 and the
• 21:00 - 21:30 waffle WAFF and Trigger 100 m they break off at tier eight or nine there they used to I think it's nine used to I don't know if they still do because I think they added some tanks to that one oh okay um I remember when the grill came out I'd had the waffle for a long time and I actually had enough XP in the in the tier nine waffle to just get the tier 10 Grill without even doing anything it was just boom done I had enough XP on it because that was a fun tank too just the the eight the B Sig
• 21:30 - 22:00 eight oh wow brutal put Max cam on it and just sit next to the enemy and they couldn't see you you drive right by them you know and then you could just blow their top off that was the best part aim for that turret ring and blow their top right off of them every time so much fun in that war Sig and then you were dead because you were too close to the enemy but you got one did you like did you like the gr 15 at all yeah it's a it's a really good tank the cool thing about it is even though it's massive in the game its camo rating is really really good so
• 22:00 - 22:30 you can sit out in the open field and no one will ever see you and its gun is amazing and then they went ahead and buffed it and gave it a full 360 Dee turret so you can oh did they really swing all around now yeah I haven't played it since it they did that one of my favorite yeah it's fast one of my favorite tanks in the whole game is the 105 Hellcat Hellcat 105 and I played that the same way I played the grill I actually back up to things I don't go
• 22:30 - 23:00 frontal armor forward I back up to things because it's forward acceleration and speed is so high if I get spotted I can just slam it and in gear and go you know and be gone before anyone actually gets a chance to shoot at me I do that with the grill Grill's really really fun to like that and it's hilarious because you'll be so close to people shooting them and they're like I don't know where I'm getting shot from this sucks you can hear them screaming where's my light tanks this is [ __ ] you know that's what they're saying yeah yeah what's your least favorite te I
• 23:00 - 23:30 don't think te ever told us his least favorite yeah um that's that's a hard one uh for a while it probably was the AMX 30b or no not the AMX 30b the tier n amx3 because that that thing was out class in every manner in tier n for I think a long time until they buffed it so when I was doing that grind on the
• 23:30 - 24:00 French line I think that was probably the one of the worst tanks I played but it was at the time where it was I think pretty fresh in the game and it was it was just awful to play but it's been it's better since theyve buffed it a little bit I don't know how it plays now because I haven't played in a long time because I had the 30b but that was probably one of the worst that I've played I think they've kind of made the French line all together the French Nation tanks pretty well-rounded and
• 24:00 - 24:30 pretty good if you have the right skill set tank so you know back in the day there was some tanks that just didn't matter what your skill set was the tanks were just some of times they were so bad there was no getting around it but they do a lot of balance updates on that game and oh yeah it kind of keeps the game fresh too cuz sometimes you know you may have a tank that you're just dominating in all the time it kind of gets a little boring sometimes and then suddenly one day it's crap and you got to go start a brand new line that's good
• 24:30 - 25:00 again yeah that was the E100 E100 was like the big one for being absolutely amazing and then I just didn't play it for a long time and then I went back to it and I was like this is really a substandard tank at this point and I don't even want to play it anymore and then it got a huge buff and now it's pretty decent again it's just it just lacks the speed right like it's so freaking slow that it's really really boring to play most of the time because half time battle's over before you got
• 25:00 - 25:30 your big ass there so yeah used to be worse used to be like really slow but it seems to be faster than it was same with like the type five remember when the type five came out I never did get the type five because it was so freaking slow the game was over before you got to the battle or you were the last man standing on your team when you actually showed up with that thing so it was like why you get that tank but they did buff it speed they buffed its gun its armor ridiculous it's actually a pretty good tank now but maybe maybe someday
• 25:30 - 26:00 I'll decide to be one of those no skill guys with the tip five with ag round yeah I should have went you know I did the mouse when type five sitting right there and it's like well you know there's a better super heavy in the game but H I just always kind of wanted the mouse that was another that's has one of the worst tanks in recent memory I can remember in the line that I grinded was like I think the tier eight VK or
• 26:00 - 26:30 something it was right after the tiger p and it was man that thing was just horrible I thought thetiger tiger P was also pretty rough if I remember right wasn't the best actually was really disappointed in most of the German heavy tanks in the game because I was all excited I got a tiger I was like oh yeah I got a tiger I'm going to smoke everyone just instantly killed over and over again in the tiger I was really bummed out and actually never I didn't get the E100 for a long time because how
• 26:30 - 27:00 bad the tiger was I just abandoned that whole line I was like I was so disappointed the tiger was crap and then I got the tiger 2 and it was a little bit better but still crap and I don't remember what come after the tiger 2 e75 one of the best NES e75 was good it was good yeah they had that same Barrel e00 had and it would it would slap a fool around and has good armor and decent Mobility actually the e00 was good was good M um
• 27:00 - 27:30 one of the other tanks that I a lot of people you don't really see them anymore being played but was the old Bulldogs m41s those were so much fun and then they come up with that premium Brazil and it was really good it it only shot H see it didn't do a whole lot of damage it was like a real crappy H too didn't do a ton of damage but you could run around and get un the spotting assisted damage in that tank cuz it was so fast
• 27:30 - 28:00 yeah I remember the Bulldogs in the Heyday they were everywhere and I think was there one that was in a line or they all Primo no it had the standard Bulldog was in the line and it's it was actually better than the Brazil but most people didn't go up that line for whatever reason you didn't see a lot of them but it actually played better than the Brazil I loved it I had a good time with it yeah remember just sitting on a hill just spotting and then if they weren't
• 28:00 - 28:30 too close I'd just start shooting and kill people you know they big slow [ __ ] coming at me so much fun to play that t yeah so te we know what your least favorite tank was what's your absolute number one favorite tank in World of Tanks to play oh that's a hard one because I feel like you know with nerfing and buffing coming in and out of the game new tanks being added it kind of changes a little bit it changes your perspective on your tanks that you play a lot um alltime
• 28:30 - 29:00 favorite probably just you know I've played it the most I used to absolutely love playing that tank no matter what like I stopped grinding Tank Lines just to play it for a long time would probably be the E5 there's other tanks now that I think I like more because they are better and more enjoyable to play now with everything that's out in the game but you know some like honorable mentions obj 268 one in the line doesn't have the best armor has an
• 29:00 - 29:30 amazing gun if you put the right modifications on it and everything that reload time is super quick and you can dish out 800 more damage so fast but super underated TD oh yeah and like it gets you know outcasted from the Primo ones that are in the game like the um obj 268 version five yeah that has the turret which that's a great tank also but I still think I like the just the normal teet tree one better and then
• 29:30 - 30:00 what's the other one is it the Tran the Teran Teran yeah which that's a amazing tank as well but I find myself playing more just the actual TCH Tre obj 268 TD for the Russian line more than those Primo ones you remember the when that tan dropped how op that thing was oh yeah [ __ ] out of it but it was so good oh my God yeah by the time he turned around to see what just hit you
• 30:00 - 30:30 it was gone he couldn't find it it was fast fast and good camoo good C oh had camo rating and the gun was I think they as [ __ ] oh they nerfed the piss out of it is way slower and the cam was near as good as it used to be they nerfed the piss out of that tank the other tank that um that 2685 you mentioned I I I did get that one I was actually dead watching a game finish and this dude had a 685 and he pretty much mopped like
• 30:30 - 31:00 eight or nine dudes in that tank and I was like I'm going to get that tank that thing's cool and I I you know what I noticed about it is it's too fast and it will get you in trouble extremely quick because you play it like you're in a heavy tank cuz it looks like a heavy tank yeah and it runs like a heavy tank but it ain't and it will it'll get you in trouble but if you can actually hold back on the throttle and and do what you're supposed to do with it it's an absolute unit still is too yeah the one
• 31:00 - 31:30 tank that I think most people well it's it's far gone down the really good tank line list but um would be the old uh yag tiger 8.8 The Jig TIG I don't know if you remember that tank but that tank was everywhere when it came out because every single game you could make a couple hundred thousand silver just not even having a good game you just go in there and fast reload and just pinned everything it was and nothing could hurt it it was just the old yag tiger you know and it was brutal it just had a smaller gun so it teared it down but
• 31:30 - 32:00 that gun still panned so it was really fun I remember guys you see five or six of them in every game on every team too they were so much fun to play one of the best money makers in the game yeah made a lot of silver on that now I mean now you can't hardly you don't really make the silver anymore in World War II at all that that you do in Cold War so um when you're talking about making money nowadays it's all in the Cold War stuff you know but it's still I really do enjoy playing the World War II tanks a
• 32:00 - 32:30 lot do you play any cold war te at all um so for a little bit when um hoppy was having me be an officer for the TLP side of it back like like maybe what like two years ago I think yeah some about somewh around there I was running a little bit of Cold War because all the guys that were playing and all the people that you could try and find were from Cold War like there was hard like the scene in World War II was kind of dead for a little bit it was weird everyone was just hopping on the Cold War train and so I played a
• 32:30 - 33:00 little bit then but I didn't really care for it too much I kind of liked more just how the World War II tank line like the gameplay of it ran and just the tanks in general because I like playing the older tanks I know there's a lot of modern tanks that are in there and they're not actually from World War II but I found myself enjoying the gameplay more from World War II but I did enjoy it but I never really ground out to like a era three tank or anything into it I don't think I made it to era 2 in it
• 33:00 - 33:30 because I just just I had all my money into World War II so I was like why would I hop over when I got all this invested in time into World War II I think that's what a lot of people did I think Cold War was really drawing a whole new player base really a lot of guys were playing from World War II there was quite a few but you know just like you and me and a lot everybody else we had a lot of time into World War II so it was like I don't want to give that up you know now I still I play a lot War now I really like it but uh the thing
• 33:30 - 34:00 about the big difference in Cold War is not really so much the true Vision yeah it is a big difference but the biggest difference is the pace of the game the Cold War side is so fast compared to World War II so I think you see a lot of the older guys don't really like to play that that faster pce stuff you know they're more into the old crusty tanks you know yeah I see I like the true Vision side of the Cold War Tanks but I like I like the pace of World War III
• 34:00 - 34:30 because you can get more tactical with it and really plan out like so if you're like platooned up I think it's only like three in a platoon now but back when it was like five to the platoon you could really like strategize what you guys are going to do and absolutely dominate the other team from just being strategic about it yeah and that's why they took it out because guys were being too strategic and actually winning because you know five man platoon you have good communication and you have so much just such an advantage by just having having a friend you know it's like yeah that
• 34:30 - 35:00 was us that was that was TP we were winning a lot in five M days a lot now nowadays with three man platoon you can still swing a battle but it's not near as easy and consistent as it used to be you know it used to be pretty much didn't lose unless you went up against other five man platoon then obviously the odds were with were evened out but there was a good chance that you would win at fivan platoon that actually knew what they were doing not a whole lot of objective players these days anymore I remember back in the day it was a big deal I wish
• 35:00 - 35:30 it was kind like standard battle that's was once once in a while you get into counter but yeah I just I wish a little people you know in pubs played a little more toward the objective it was I thought it was more fun you could get better tactics better plays out of it and you could get more silver earnings per match and XP I mean it made those lines a lot easier to grind when the whole team was working together but but now it's just kind of a free-for-all everybody kind of
• 35:30 - 36:00 goes out there and it's like trying to just get a kill and go to the next game and I mean so it is what it is I guess you know as time goes on the game changes but I did notice I was playing with some of our European folks not too long ago in TLP and I was playing in their European lobbies and it felt just like the old days like they were playing objective and and so I did notice a big difference there it it was really fun actually I mean I suggest you guys go try out some of the European servers
• 36:00 - 36:30 just see the gameplay difference and you'll notice it's old school gameplay and it's a lotun so you know if you're ever feeling like you want to go kind of try to that old school game style now with the internet everyone has you can play those servers right it's not like it used to be where you yeah it's not awful delay used to be but it's fine now one thing I do remember about tanks back in the day talking about servers is it used to be two North American servers too right there was the East and the
• 36:30 - 37:00 west and that was always like a huge challenge for TLP cuz we had guys everywhere and it was always like well I'm playing East server I like e server better like whatever but you know and then it would lag like like a son of a gun for me because I was on Old crusty out in the woods internet so it was like oh man brutal for me but you know now that they just have a centralized server it is so much better than it used to be I don't know why the heck they did two to ever begin with but whatever you know
• 37:00 - 37:30 what kind of bums me out about the game too is I'll I'll be like playing and you see how few people actually have a clan tag on in that game they just don't want it they don't want any part of being in any Community really you know you can even send messages that guy you're playing with that's right next to you the whole game playing really well together they send a message and you just don't get anything back it's like okay well I don't want to be your friend either then bye you know I don't know what the whole deal is or they're like I don't have a mic said well I think I think maybe that
• 37:30 - 38:00 changed when they switched to the thre Man Cruise yeah so I mean I think that's when a lot of the communities and clans kind of dropped off from the game in general was when it was when they made it to where it wasn't so friendly for groups of people to play yeah they really did ruin the the the clan based stuff a lot one thing they did do to help significantly was if you're in um custom games now it doesn't cost you anything to play those used to cost you money to play you had to pay for your
• 38:00 - 38:30 rounds yeah now you don't have to do that so that was really if they would have done that years ago the the custom games Community tournaments and events would have blown up way bigger than it ever did and I don't know why they didn't do that but makes Friday night tanks a lot easier that's for sure oh yeah that was always the thing like guys be like I don't have the money to play them you know I just I just can't afford to play I don't have the silver in the game it's like well that sucks sucks
• 38:30 - 39:00 you yep and now you can even shoot gold rounds in there for free so when gold rounds cost gold yeah yeah I was about to say they change it to where you can pay silver now for premium rounds right yeah that's nice too and still make money if you're not just throwing them at the trees you know you can still make money play yeah as long as you're hitting your shots I mean the silver the silver earn has gone up so much a game that it's made it way more pleasurable to play
• 39:00 - 39:30 because forever it was just it was such a bad grind man you play like three T three games in a line tank and then you had to go run a jig tape for a couple games to be able to for to continue to grind the tank you were grinding on nowadays you can run all the big booster or uh consumables you know the premium consumables like all my tanks are premium consumables now I don't have any tanks or standards and I still make money every game so and I premium rounds yeah I'm that guy I will sing them gold rounds at you don't you
• 39:30 - 40:00 worry yeah I think everybody's that guy these days so I mean well they're not as good as they used to be right like they're just different they're just not it may not even be the best round for the Target you're aiming at too which is a lot of people don't realize that just because they are more expensive doesn't necessarily mean they're better for what you're doing y I think we've all ran into that guy his name is I shoot Hesh oh yeah that guy he did yeah he shot a lot yeah he did he sh3 he always in the3 and it always hurt
• 40:00 - 40:30 every time yeah yep he wasn't lying he was not lying y he he held up his end of the bargain when he came to reading his name I mean he was shooting HH at you oh yeah he was wallet Waring like a son of a gy I know and Hesh back in the day hit like a truck I mean it's kind of been softened up a little bit nowadays but back in the day dude if he got hit by Hesh you would might as well just put your controller down cuz you're dead for the rest of the match yeah half your
• 40:30 - 41:00 crew was dead anyway you weren't doing much yeah yeah you you're were going to sit there until he shot you again that's pretty much how that was going to go yeah oh for sure remember and remember when you used to be a like pop a first aid kit and you only pick one guy to fix that was forgot about that yeah and it would usually have to be your driver just so he could get out of there yeah worst guy to fix but you always had to it was terrible yeah mhm I I do remember that now now they they heal everyone and
• 41:00 - 41:30 you just magically get a hold of the crew which is kind of nice it keeps the tanks moving a little bit more in the game but yeah you don't really aim for crew anymore like we used to because it doesn't really Ripple people anymore cold war is a different story just a right there's so many different consumables that a lot of guys don't run a medkit or fire extinguisher whatever the other one that we always ran was um repair it because uh they're running smoke bombs and
• 41:30 - 42:00 whatever the hell else they got in there m whole patch kit all that [ __ ] so you have a lot of different which actually kind of kind of brought that you know killing people's crew back to the game in Cold War yeah yeah there's a lot of Tanks I think that I run into on Cold War where they have the smokes and the whole patch but at the same time I think the cold war tanks are not as susceptible to getting your crew killed as World War II used to be yeah so it kind of evens out I mean
• 42:00 - 42:30 you can still get that shot on people's Crews but it's not like World War II was so I guess it's people just don't care if you get caught with a crew dead then it's just you know one bad game it's not like the War Thunder where your crew dies everything single game oh yeah it's the only way you ever die is either your crew or your ammunition die so or thunder man that tank those tanks are brutal I mean you got to get good at
• 42:30 - 43:00 it it really is a you got to know for one you got to know what the capabilities of your tank is right you got to know what it can and definitely what it can't do and it the it's not so arcadey even the arcade battles are much more realistic than tanks which I like both don't get me wrong I like the the War Thunder side of tanks and I also like the world of tanks tanks they have their own spots kind of but yeah War Thunder
• 43:00 - 43:30 can be brutal sometimes especially when you're first starting that grind on the early tanks oh my Lord I mean the the one nice thing about War Thunder I mean you are stuck in Tanks A lot of times that suck like bad until you get a good tank then you don't have to necessarily play the crappy tank right you can grind through a crappy one with a good one whereas world the tanks you can't do that you got to play through that tank so yep um that's the one like major advantage of War Thunder Jets boats planes everything
• 43:30 - 44:00 right it's all you don't have to play like a bad bad vehicle you can get around it you have to buy it but you can still not play it yep what do you think TJ would you uh if you were going to put one game down forever which one would it be out of those two oh that's that's a tough one man because I love War Thunder a lot and I love tanks a lot because that one that one hits deep because that's you know that got I've been playing that game for
• 44:00 - 44:30 so long how I met a lot of you guys you know and but I would probably have to say thanks man because I the grind on War Thunder is a lot different but like because you said you can play you can choose to play a better plane in the line that actually gives you XP towards another line that you're doing and versus having to play like a super shitty ass plane that you don't want to play at all and I don't know I just feel like the
• 44:30 - 45:00 the grind on War Thunder it's sometimes just a little bit more enjoyable even though if it's not because like for instance like uh ground realistic for tanks you can have a lineup to where you have say like you know you have like your heavy tank you have your medium tank with you you have an anti-air tank with you and you have a bomber and a fighter plane and you can take that into a battle versus how World of Tanks is you just have that one one tank that you loaded in and that's it that's all you
• 45:00 - 45:30 got yep that is really nice thing about War Thunder is when you're playing tanks man it's not just tanks it's it's everything right so that's really you gotta really like you know say say you die you're in your heavy tank and you die but you have another heavy tank that you can spawn into but there's like six enemy fighters in the air there's no point in spawning in that heavy tank you might as well drop into that you know that anti-air take down a couple planes that get you even more XP so where you can spawn in the plane or you can pull out your heavy tank once you die again cuz it's going to change
• 45:30 - 46:00 the tide of battle because that that game is all objective based if you like you know how we were talking about tanks earlier with the objective scene falling off and it's mainly just go out and kill and die if you're into more objective play style war Thunders ground RB is heavily influenced by the tide of battle will get changed just off of playing objective RB as well right I mean you can especially low tier RB you can get in you all the bases and ground pound until they're out of tickets right and
• 46:00 - 46:30 that's that's I really like doing that in in er um just just beating the team on tickets um especially like in prop planes and low tier Jets really really fun that e238 oh that was that was something back in the day wasn't it full Squad that was like our version of The Jig TIG yeah yeah pretty much it was our money maker it was our XP grinder it was everything old pretty much ground a whole line or a whole nation on a BV 238 I mean
• 46:30 - 47:00 legitimately I I I had Mig 29g basically playing on a on a BB 238 Maybe not maybe not quite that far but definitely to the Mig 23 and and whatever the heck the other one is over there that's crappy but yeah um I I went all the way top tier mostly on that 238 MH and and you know a lot of that there wasn't like an issue with any of those planes like I just didn't know how to play them like I was playing top tier [ __ ] and just dying instantly you know
• 47:00 - 47:30 and then then you know learning and and playing with other people learning how to run radar and how to run missiles and all that stuff like especially if you're on controller like I know both of you guys play on controller right so it's like you have like 8,000 key binds it's like hold this button press this button and click this one four times you know it's like okay I finally got my radar turned on now what do I do you know and that was rough that was rough it's a lot of spamming there's a lot spamming going on especially when you get hooked into a turn fight or a dog fight with multiple
• 47:30 - 48:00 Jets going on I dude my buttons are getting worn out so fast you just start butt mashing that [ __ ] yeah it's like old Mortal Kombat yeah heck yeah so te if you were GNA give advice to a new player would would you advise them to play World of Tanks or would you advise them to play War Thunder um that see that that's a hard topic because I I would really have to talk to that person you know and get really what they're wanting out of the
• 48:00 - 48:30 game and what kind of play style they're more wanting to do before I would suggest throw them into a different way if I'm G if I want to play with them more than anything I'm gonna say War Thunder instantly because that's what I primarily play but you know like if they're kind of looking more for that arcadey vibe to where you're going after hit points you know and they're mainly wanting to just play tanks I'm going to 100% recommend World of Tanks I'll tell them you know try Cold War try War II figure out what you like more you know with the World War II one you're going
• 48:30 - 49:00 to have a little bit more of a grind I feel like it probably is not as fast as Cold War but you have a little bit more of a grind because you're starting out in like you know World War I World War II era tanks versus you know Cold War era tanks but if they're wanting something more realistic I would definitely shoot them more towards the War Thunder aspect like play style of it but yeah it just comes down to what they're really wanting to get from the game and terms of entertainment because War Thunder you have tanks ships planes
• 49:00 - 49:30 you know they can have a variety but if they're just wanting solely tanks I'd say World of Tanks if they're just wanting ships World of Warships because that is a great game too I don't know if you guys have played it at all but World War say if I was going to play Just boats I I wouldn't even touch War Thunder it would be world war ships in a heartbeat because World Thunder is so freaking slow on ship play you know for the most part you can get into more arcadey stuff on War Thunder but but World of Warships is significantly
• 49:30 - 50:00 faster paced way that's a great game I I really enjoyed playing the downside to that one is you're not going to be able to spawn a bomber in and go bomb somebody's [ __ ] but yeah like you can more Thunder but and if you just want to play ships world of war ships might be where it's at for for somebody looking to do that but that's a cool thing right it's like they're both really really fun games you know their TLP is heavy in both both games and you uh and they're completely different so it's not like oh
• 50:00 - 50:30 War Thunder is better than World of Tanks or World of Tanks is better than War Thunder because it's not really the case they're just two completely different games but you know they just have similar vehicles or even the same in a lot of cases but um yeah there're they're just so different and they're both extremely fun like if I'm just playing tanks I don't mind the War Thunder tanks but I will definitely go play World of Tanks if I have choice you know between if I just want to run tanks it' be World of Tanks for sure um PL though Plains though you know that's a cool thing right like World of
• 50:30 - 51:00 War Plains never took off I did play that way back in the day on I did too beta I played it on beta and it was really fun so much fun but uh just never gained the attraction I think War Thunder was beating them so bad on that they just gave up on that but wish I could have played that game I never got the chance it was really good I I enjoyed it and it and it you flew just like you do in War Thunder so still the pointer pointer thing moving you know and the plane followed it so that was
• 51:00 - 51:30 actually my first taste at that type of of simulation flying on World of War play same here long before I played War Thunder yep yeah now I just feel s gotta feed the snail gota feed the snail gota You Have To Raise Hell pre snail right that's right y yeah I mean the comparison of world tanks to war Thunders if anybody would
• 51:30 - 52:00 relate to this I guess the best example is I could give is like World of Tanks is like Battlefield and War Thunder is like hell let loose oh yeah yeah two very fun games but two very different play Styles oh uh we do make that reference a lot like I'll be playing tanks and I'm just sitting there like waiting for a pixel to move Wai forx it's like what you playing hell at loose no no War Thunder same thing so yeah it's uh it's a it's hell that loose in in vehicles pretty much right yeah so Prett much yeah it really is MHM
• 52:00 - 52:30 actually hell that loose is probably more arcade than War Thunder is when it comes to Vehicles right War Thunder probably significantly more cism than even H let loose does H let loose man we put a lot of hours into that game too I mean how many times have we been in the squad where we're the last defending squad on a post and oh my God and it's just like an ABS movie you know it's like we're just sitting there someone's feeding the
• 52:30 - 53:00 machine gun another one's pointing out spots and another person's resupplying ammo we've been in some real mixy business on Hell let loose bowing down dudes in the old HED RS oh man yeah so much fun dude here's an fg42 for you it's dead all of you the cool thing about hell loose right is it's not like Call of Duty where it's like hit marker based or or hit points based it's like you get shot and anywhere vital you're dead so oh yeah so much fun and then and then you
• 53:00 - 53:30 will lay on the ground and bleed out right like it's yeah there's there's none of that weird stuff like like dolphin jumping and [ __ ] like that it's it's straight up trench warfare a lot of times so fun fun game sometimes the only way you know you even killed somebody on that game is you get that perfect head dink sound of them out their helmet yeah yeah the uh the thing that I don't like about that game is I'll be playing that game and I'll be on my TV and I'll be like this like trying to trying to see
• 53:30 - 54:00 the pixel watching a pixel move you know got the TV going and I'm like Oh my eyes hurt so bad but I got watch this head there's gonna be somebody come through oh yep my biggest complaint about that games it's not crossplatform compatible right like I'd love to be able to play on my PC I wish it was because I wish it was I mean we've played on PC right but then you can't play with all the guys on Console which is really kind of bums me out cuz the console guys I mean the guys we play with They Don't Really Care who they're playing against because they actually have a pretty high skill level
• 54:00 - 54:30 like I was talking to a fellow on I'm in a Facebook group for War Thunder and he was complaining about the fact that you get the little controller symbol on your name in War Thunder if you started your if you started your account on a console you get that controller symbol but even if you transfer your account to PC you still keep that controller symbol right like people were were raging about that like I tried to kill this dude with a with a console symbol and he just beat my ass and it's like well the dude's probably on PC or it's just way better than you so MH I mean I know a lot of
• 54:30 - 55:00 guys that do play on controller that are really good at that game you know reasonbly and they they are on controller and they have 8,000 button bindings going on you know it's they don't have they don't have keyboard mouse plugged into the console they're straight up playing it with the Xbox controller so fun yeah or Playstation yeah that I I think War Thunder is one of the very few crossplatform games where it's like yeah PC guys do have an edge for sure but it's not by a huge margin I mean
• 55:00 - 55:30 there's some real good controller players on War Thunder and it doesn't it doesn't feel like you're always at a disadvantage just because there's PC people in your lobby you if you're smart enough and you know exactly what your playe or your jet does you can usually outfight people even in your controller it's like how you know TJ here knows how to play that zero down to a freaking point that if he's he's going to bait you into a turn fight and he's going to beat you every single time and it's just
• 55:30 - 56:00 that's just you know that you can you can really use skill to your advantage in that game yeah knowledge and uh knowledge is very very powerful in that game what is it knowledge knowledge knowing what the other vehic I think that's what turns a lot of people off from from uh War Thunder sometimes is because you don't know what you're doing and it's not like they really tell you what to do no even even when you start playing the game and you pick it up like on controller your keybinds you can't do
• 56:00 - 56:30 the things you need to do with the factory keybinds right it's just not even possible they don't even not even bound so like especially not put in yeah especially playing like realistic battles of Tanks or planes or ships like half that stuff's not bound to a controller so you do have to um like I always recommend you get with somebody who's experienced and they'll tell you their keybinds and then you copy them MH and then you when you get halfway through a battle you can say how do I do this and they'll was like oh yeah it's
• 56:30 - 57:00 this button combo and they'll done that's the easiest way to do that if you if you're around trying to just solo that man it's tough tough tough it's tough to remember them too because there's so many right even on keyboard in house it's tough to remember all that stuff sorry ABY go ahead go ahead I say the best way to do it too if um once like say you change your key bindings at all or anything just take a picture of it load up your photos and say if you're in a game you forget real quick you know
• 57:00 - 57:30 unlock your phone real quick just look at that photo and your keybinds that you just set up they're right there that's I do it sometimes when I want to try out a new like keybind setup to see if I like it better I'll have my phone right next to me you know and just look at the photo real quick just to remember what what I put on the controller to use yeah I'm gonna have to start doing that because I forget a lot too I'll I'll go from playing my simple Mig 21 to my Mig or my Su 33 and I'll be like oh my God what what in the hell am I doing I don't even remember how to get the
• 57:30 - 58:00 twws and then you know I one day I was like sitting in the living room and my dad gets a phone call Mid game and he just hands me his controller and I'm trying to use the key he's in a Euro Fighter and I'm trying to use the keybinds that I would use for my s33 I figure it's got to be similar nah that dude has the most age keybinds I've ever seen I didn't know what the hell I was doing but he's got it to a science CU he's really good on thater yeah he knows
• 58:00 - 58:30 his ke binds but oh no I mean you're putting in freaking Mortal Kombat you know finish him combos to get a missile off on that damn thing I was about tired of it you watch him play though and the only thing he does wrong all the time he does it all the time he just goes too fast and tears his wings off his Planes if he could stop doing that the dude would be unstoppable in that game cuz he is good but he will rip the Wings off of any plane he's playing he's just mock F diving straight on someone he's like oh
• 58:30 - 59:00 tore my wings off again right in the ground you know every single time if he could just quit doing that he would have it nailed but yeah people would know his name in those lobbies if he just freaking keep his wings on but he blows that Dorito in half every time he gets about halfway down the battlefield yeah it's so easy to do on top tier Jet right like especially if you're real low altitude so easy to do like they're just so fast they go faster than what they can actually withstand it just rips and they get up to speed so fast too you know
• 59:00 - 59:30 when you're in the lower Jets it takes forever to get speed but in those top tiers dude you're you're up and at it and you're going and sometimes you're just like you're focused because you know there's an F-15 about sitting in orbit that's about to drop an aim 120 on you so you're just going through the valys and trying to get out of there as fast as you can next thing you know you don't you get reduced speed flashing on your screen yeah if you're lucky if you if you notice it that's what always
• 59:30 - 60:00 happens to me is I don't notice it I'm just like hyper focused on what's going on behind me you know trying to get out away from whatever's after me and dead or your pilot's blacked out you can't see your screen you don't notice Flash the whole time you know yeah where Pilot's blacked out and you actually can't let off the throttle that's the worst and and they they accelerate fast enough to actually Blow Your Wings off before your pilot comes back from being blacked out which which is funny and it's hard to build up silver in that game because you know when you got a top
• 60:00 - 60:30 tier jet or like say you're you're at almost a top tier Jet and this happened to me with my mig21 when I went to my Mig 23 my Mig 21 pilot was maxed out well that cost like 1.3 million silver and that's all I got I I ain't putting him in that Mig 23 because I ain't going to have any money for upgrades and it's going to take forever just to get back to the point where I could freely upgrade my planes so it's like start off with that barebones pilot and you're just G forcing every single time you
• 60:30 - 61:00 move the Jet and you're blacked out the whole time and I get pissed because I get missiles coming and I can't press the freaking flare button which it doesn't even have hardly any that's when you got to feed the snail man feed the snail dude I can feed the snail forever but the snail needs to feed me some chaff on those Russian Jets dude that's what the snail needs to do oh yeah well just wait till get a Euro Fighter or something like that cuz then you get a pile of coun Majors pile
• 61:00 - 61:30 yeah it's automatic you guys are flying in your freaking catac I'm over here might hoop you know tape together freaking Russian Jets they're fun though they're really fun to play they're fun yeah The Radars ass but they're good they're good jet still that's another you know you you talk about the M23 and like I've been playing that plane forever and I just learned the other day that you could actually lock on it at range you know you know I figured out how to actually do it I was like wow I'm locked on to this dude at like 56 miles hold this
• 61:30 - 62:00 r27 he never saw it coming man he's like who shot me you know he's like where was this guy Mig 23 that guy is way far away from me so yeah I ended up clubbing somebody like massive range big 23 the other day just because I finally learned how to lock onto someone farther than six miles ahead of me so that was that was pretty fun yeah that's kind of like the secret thing about War Thunder is you don't realize part of the fun is just figuring out how to play the damn game when you're five years in yeah
• 62:00 - 62:30 right yeah I started playing War Thunder on PlayStation 4 y dang bought a PlayStation and I actually I really wanted to play Uncharted um for like a while and then um junkie was like dude let's let's get PlayStations and play War Thunder I'm like well PlayStation's pretty cheap been out a while you know so we ended up getting these super cheap PlayStations and mine came with Uncharted so I was able to play Uncharted and and War Thunder and then the cool thing about
• 62:30 - 63:00 the PlayStation you can hook a keyboard mouse to it or joystick to it and play it however you want to play it and I remember being laid back on the old Lazy Boy with my mouse on one arm and the keyboard over here just like focused out you know and that was complete ass of the game running around with two Wings when you have two Wings instead of One Wing not doing very good that game if that's all you got so yeah TJ when did you start playing War Thunder I don't know it's one of those
• 63:00 - 63:30 games that you got me on to too just like thanks I think your dad and tater and all them were playing and you're like hey uh you can check out War Thunder and I was like what is it and I think it took me a while because I like I'll just play tanks you know like I don't I don't play it and stuff and then you got me on like going into the planes and stuff and I had actually thought back to how you know Tater was talking about earlier for Simulator for plane game uh World of War planing I thought of that I was like you know I had I had a lot of fun on that like I'll hop on and just play the
• 63:30 - 64:00 planes you know and then that's when I really got into playing it was from you getting me into it but I don't I don't remember how long ago do you think you've been playing because it's been at least around that same time for me probably been like four or five years maybe yeah it's yeah it definitely has been more than four I know that for a fact yeah it's been some time we've been playing for a little while now I think it's maybe been more than five I think it's more than five years
• 64:00 - 64:30 honestly yeah it probably has been it's been out for on on Xbox for some time because I mean it came out early on the PlayStation and I do remember my dad playing that and I was I remember sitting there watching him play it and I was like God this game looks awesome I wish I had a PlayStation but I didn't want to get a PlayStation just for war ther so I never ended up getting into to like you and you and my dad did Tater early on but did they even have Jets
• 64:30 - 65:00 when you guys first started playing or was it just all props I don't know if they did but I know we didn't I think you know the the crappy migs I know that um for long like 80 was like maybe the highest yard you could go for a while I think and I those low tier Jets yeah I remember like the meteor that that plane that I'm grinding through well just ground through now in the Israeli line was top tier British British play I remember that I think
• 65:00 - 65:30 that is 8.0 yeah M I think it's 8 80 or 83 or something like that and then uh I think there's a 77 and a 80 in the Israel line yeah and and there I remember that was top tier British I don't remember what the top tier German plane was it might have been a saber might have been a saber I don't remember or a MIG I don't know they had so many different planes the German line just mixed up with Amer American and Russian planes like crazy so yeah I remember it was a big deal when
• 65:30 - 66:00 they added the uh the ho what is it the 226 or something 229 yeah yeah ho yeah I remember my dad was like dude they added the ho 229 come look at this thing and he was showing it to me and I'm like yeah that's cool I don't know what the hell it is but that's cool dude you got a big flying batwing but it's a fun like I've been playing that uh you know Israeli line I've been down in the what am I in like the mid eights now that a48 whatever
• 66:00 - 66:30 that thing is A3 and there's a lot of those guys playing the ho229 in there and they they rally with those things man they're they're still a good playing they're brutal man they're brutal got good guns on on them yeah and they maneuver really really well they're not good climbers I don't think but that's like the only real weakness to them they're good fighter they turn pretty good the low altitude fighter like if you see them guys you know wrangling up down on the bottom you you
• 66:30 - 67:00 see those guys usually in in the bottom bottom of the air column they're fighting down there in the bottom and then you see your MC 15s and 19s and stuff up high you know the Savers up high Sab crap down low you know same with the Mig 15 complete crap down low but they're great up high Mig 19 I don't anything but that's my personal opinion on that point I've never played a MIG 19 no I'm trying to figure out that damn
• 67:00 - 67:30 Vamp that Swedish vampire man that thing's giving me hell of the time it's all I know about that plan is it looks cool that's all I know it looks cool yeah but I don't know if it's like a strike aircraft or if it's supposed to be a low altitude fighter or what the deal is with it it's slower than hell I know that I can tell you what it says right now if you want me to I have War Thunder pulled up right now yeah pull up some stats on that one cool way to know where you're supposed to play a plane is look at its max speed and look right below that it'll
• 67:30 - 68:00 tell you at what altitude and if it's up around like 15 16,000 it's definitely meant to be played high it's a it's a higher performance playe up high and if it's down around like eight or 10 definitely play it lower and it okay you know that's one of the big things on that one so it is a jet fighter and max speed is 506 miles per hour and it's saying at height 4,500 yeah play and 72 meters I have
• 68:00 - 68:30 mine in meters right now but so and turn time is 25 25.6 seconds so turns like a turn it's yeah it's pretty slow turn fighter it's probably it's probably a little bit better to maybe try and do like a semi boom and zoom with it I would imagine it's got good guns I'll say that the guns on it are decent it's just actual it's a AO yeah so it's not even going to be a good boom Zoom I it's just gonna
• 68:30 - 69:00 yeah boom Zoom I mean you're gonna be looking at six 700 miles an hour for a boom Zoom yeah in that BR think it's just a head on yeah I think it's just you're gonna have to head-on you're probably going to have to take that damage on the chin and whatever but I've gotten I've definitely gotten more head-on kills with it than anything it's it's got decent guns on it yeah that's one thing I have learned to avoid at pretty much all cost is the head on because I know that most of my planes I know that I'm going to be able to get around behind those guys if I survive
• 69:00 - 69:30 ahead on you know I'll still kill the person but if I go full head on the odds of me winning that are really really low I mean how many times do you kill each other right or you damage each other enough to where you don't make it back so there's always you know I always avoid those I'll shoot defensive rounds at about a mile out I'll start banging rounds at them and then I'll just start doing like the so they can't trap me and and I just and the cool thing about doing it like that though if you start doing this usually by the time they come by you're already about that angle so by
• 69:30 - 70:00 the time you they try to turn your back around behind them quicker you know so I've learned to just really avoid those head hones if I can and so many people do it in those BRS you know like 80 to basically 10 or 11 or 12 there it's just like freaking head on City you know and it's really it's really unfortunate because you you see like everybody come you know all the teams are coming in at about the same time and then half of both teams are dead because of all the
• 70:00 - 70:30 head-on so think I bad habit from playing head-on with my Mig 21 because that's that really is a head-on those r60s yeah the r60s an amazing head-on missile so it kind of took me a little bit of a it was a learning curve again when we went back to props playing 43s to not be trying to head on everything cuz the BF 109 dude that thing has insane guns I can kill anybody in the head on but you ain't going to make it out usually either so I had to relearn
• 70:30 - 71:00 how to maneuver and fight and like a real fighter so yeah a little bit of a skill Gap the top like three reasons you're [ __ ] at Warth thunder right anybody is you head on too much you don't [ __ ] yeah you know you don't know your playe or your enemy playe that's like the biggest thing these guys playing when they're not supposed to be playing with that particular vehicle especially in planes and then you know just not like getting out by yourself and getting into the Hornet's Nest is so
• 71:00 - 71:30 terrible one other thing I see guys do a lot is they'll climb up like like make 15s to do this all the time you climb up really really high because that's where they're supposed to be and they can climb and then they they'll see like a single plane on ground level and dive for it and it's like you just wasted that entire amount of energy you had turn fighting this guy at the floor when you should be up there where you're actually playing as good and better and better than everybody else's right cuz down low it's not better than everybody else's playing but at 10,000 ft it is
• 71:30 - 72:00 better than everybody else's playing so that's another like top 10 reason you're don't your [ __ ] at War Thunder is not knowing where to play that play a thing I think I see a lot that like say like if I'm I die and I watch some people play and stuff the thing that I think I see the most would probably be like when someone's in a dog fight whether it is prop planes or um jets is staying in like Full Throttle or like you know the web I don't know what it would be afterburners for jets but I
• 72:00 - 72:30 don't know what props it would be um so like people will say in that and like I'll see the like I'll like you know how you can like use your uh joystick to look around to see where the enemy planes at um while you're spectating like I can see like them slowing down and like swooping and then whoever I'm watching like say if it's one of us or someone else just a random person they'll stay Full Throttle or like that
• 72:30 - 73:00 extra like web acceleration and they'll try and keep turn fighting like that and then the other guy's already slowed down he's gonna be right behind you or they're black out yeah that's they'll black out big time because it's just way too many G's to turn and then you then you're not turning you're just kind of and somebody's behind you killing you you know blacking out and like you say staying in weap and not knowing how to use flaps not knowing to use your flaps certain planes you need those combat flaps yeah um the meteor meteor is one of those planes like that plane is
• 73:00 - 73:30 complete ass until you learn how to use air bra and flaps cuz that air bra on that plane combined with flaps you'll turn so hard like you just stay 100% throttle but air brakes and flaps to make you actually turn because the air braake does help you turn in that plane a lot and you can you can outturn almost anything in the meteor even though if you don't do it you're not outt turnning anything but you can outturn almost everything if you know how to use the flaps and a braak you know and there's a lot of planes like that you know um you know we talk
• 73:30 - 74:00 about props like I played that Spitfire for a long time with you guys when you guys were grinding up and I learned how to play that Spitfire quite well in that amount of time you know and it was like yeah let's turn the flaps on and just out turn this guy real quick got him in half with those 20 Ms because he ain't going to survive one shot of that Spitfire you know those Spitfires are so good dude I I love the Spitfires um I think it was one of the earlier prop lines I did outside of Germany and I eventually stopped because
• 74:00 - 74:30 I think that I was just like yeah the endgame stuff on this isn't really that worth it so I just kind of let it be but those early you know tier three tier four props of Spitfires oh some of the best in the game yeah oh yeah oh yeah Spitfire that's until you get a zero on your ass man that's until you get zero on your ass though have custom game T see what happens we might that be an interesting fight that
• 74:30 - 75:00 would be a real interesting fight thing about think about the Spitfire you can blow both the Wings off of it I'm still going to go home and get new ones so you know what I mean yeah that's true but hoppies watch me a few times when I'm running that zero and I'm in a dog fight and I'll be in like a one V3 and I'll just like barely burst burst people and they're instantly just dead what zero probably my favorite prop plane in the game is the 430 oh man the plane that like seriously
• 75:00 - 75:30 disappointed me was anything with the with the word P-51 in front of it I was like disappointed huge let down and the P 47s for me too yeah those planes were great you know in in actual real world but they don't have the guns like some of them do I guess but they don't have the guns that could with with the base grind Spitfires and zeros and they don't turn on on zero or a Spitfire and they are not as fast believe it or not some of them are fast but especially you know some of those zeros are incredibly fast
• 75:30 - 76:00 Spitfire a couple of them are incredibly fast and the Mustangs I guess too but you know for the most part if you find a Mustang I'm just like oh he's he's free game I'm going to go kick his ass because he's and then if he does manage to shoot me it's not going to do anything he's just got MGS so you know come added recently that that that have cannons now yep and and so there's a couple that are okay but there's a couple of those guys that you'll find out there though that they just run the p51s and they'll they'll
• 76:00 - 76:30 absolutely shred you though with it because they know how to play that plane but yeah for me I I couldn't really get him down or the p-47s and I I'd much rather run like you know a fuer wolf BF 109 or zero over those planes no any day BF 109 for sure for me if I was going to run if I had to pick that take a BF 109 like a g or a k or something definitely yeah I'd probably I'd probably run either the the zero or [ __ ] wolf for me I think one of my favorite planes to play is the the D9 man is the BF 109 F
• 76:30 - 77:00 because just what it goes against it doesn't go against planes of its caliber um whereas when you get into the G's of course the G's are better and same with the fuer wolf the D's they're they're better planes but they're playing against significantly better planes than what you were playing with yeah in the tier below you so I love that F that f is amazing F4 a great great plan you play mhm yeah um what do you think about top tier now that you're
• 77:00 - 77:30 there um and you're there on multiple levels right like so what are you thinking uh so for top tier Jets right now I mainly so in 14 O's I got the 15E and the Euro Fighter and then maxed outlines for America also the F-14 but it tops out at 130 I'd say it's it's a different it's completely different play style depending on what plane you're in like
• 77:30 - 78:00 you can you know you can have the same missile load out in two different planes and you have to play it completely different like the Euro Fighter you want to like I know there's guys that go up in it launch a couple missiles and go down and dog fight with it but primarily I'd say nine times out of 10 it's way better to go in and just dog fight it with it but I enjoy top tier but I I think me as a per just personally I I'm way more addicted to the Grind of the game than
• 78:00 - 78:30 just getting a top tier Jet and just running just that to where like I get my like I got my f-15e you know I almost have it completely maxed out and I've had it for like what two days now yeah and I'm I've already used that plane and some other planes to grind out my F-16 line I'm like one I'm actually getting my F-16 probably here in like tomorrow or the next day so for me it's like I enjoy the top tier stuff but I think I enjoy the grind of actually getting the top tier Jets
• 78:30 - 79:00 more if you were to if you were to recommend a nation to a brand new player that's like yeah I'm goingon to I'm going to grind to top tier what nation would you recommend that has the most value across the board ingame wise or just in general full full Tory Wise ingame Wise ingame wise man that's hard because I I want to say honestly I'm
• 79:00 - 79:30 biased about it but I want to say American because you have different play style of jets and they're you have your f-16s that are great dog fighters you have a more dog fighting based F-15 in there the F-14 it's not the best it's way out class now from what it used to be but it is still it is still a pretty fun jet to play but you know there's the rumors of that F18 coming out after it which I think will be a great plane just depends on which variance they add into the game um so it is it is a fun plane
• 79:30 - 80:00 to play but different play style and then you have your f-15e which different play style most people play it way high up you know and I play it a little bit different I I'll go high up and then come down a dog fight so I usually don't carry a full um fox 3 like the a120 BS I don't carry a full load out of those but if it's really tied for me between I want to say the US and Russia because
• 80:00 - 80:30 Russia has a some really good top tier planes too that are in there for overall grind I'd probably say America because they have like you don't have to be stuck with how me and T were talking about the p-51s being a let down for us you don't have to stick with those you can hop into like the F4 's which are a great plane there's some that have like six cannons on them amazing amazing plane the6 FS the f8 fs you know they have some really good planes in there and the thing about it too is you're
• 80:30 - 81:00 going to find from if a new player base if you're looking at all the tech trees and looking through all the lines you're going to find almost every other country has American planes in it so that's why I think it is a good idea to go the American route because you're going to get usually the best version of those planes there are some other countries that have some better top tier Jets like I think the French and Japanese f-16s are a little bit better than the American ones in terms of what they get and you know like the the a version and
• 81:00 - 81:30 C versions they're a little bit different they'll have like an a version that can carry the C variants load out you know so there's different ways to go about it but I'd probably be biased instead the American Tech Tree yeah yeah I started on the German and it's all right I mean it's good low tier but once you start getting past the actual like German build planes you're just getting American stuff and it's usually not the
• 81:30 - 82:00 greatest version of it yep and you know it is what it is that's what I started some good Russian really yeah it does have some good Russian y Mig 21 Mig 15's amazing Mig 23 is amazing MiG 29 absolutely animal you know and of course then you get the Euro Fighter which technically right now is the best jet in the game right like 100% but you get just going down that one line you get so many good planes in
• 82:00 - 82:30 Germany I would probably if it was me I'd probably say Germany just because you get a huge variety of just really fun players to play even the German planes themselves you know the BF 109s fak wolves Jus all that stuff they're they all have their place and they're all really fun and then you and then yeah once you get up past the World War II era there's no really German made planes anymore right but then you have all the Sabers and the migs that you get to play both of them instead and you get to pick out which you like better migs or Sabers and then if you like the sabes
• 82:30 - 83:00 better then obviously go play an American line and get all them Savers there's a lot of Savers in the American line and if you like the good too migs you can go Chinese you can go Russian you can run a lot of migs in all those but then like the Russian top tier has like the s34 that bom fighter mixed jet that is just insane I mean I've been killed by it numerous times and it's always hiding they're really good at hiding just behind the Ridge and um
• 83:00 - 83:30 they're also good for ground RB and things like that and uh I I I kind of want to almost start the Russian line just to get that but at the same time I've already got stuff I've started like sweeten and just to get the Gripen or the grippin or who however you pronounce it but um at some point I got to get that Su 34 man and the su27 is also great jet too so I mean you're almost a big 29 now I mean you're going to be you're going be balling here pretty soon yeah once
• 83:30 - 84:00 you get the first 29 it just it mows to the Euro Fighter I mean both those Ms are really really good the first one's a little tough because you can't understand what it's telling you because it's in Russian but the the second one's in English and I can actually understand what what that guy saying to me I wish I could turn her off in the first one [Laughter] but yeah but I mean there's a lot of good there's a lot of good Nations and I think everybody has their own little
• 84:00 - 84:30 preferences to what it is but you know at the end of the day I think there's a little something for everybody in War Thunder so oh yeah uh te what what's your most memorable moment in War Thunder in in air RB oh man um I don't know I'd have to say probably uh me hoppy and his cousin you know we used to when we first got into it we were heavy into we weren't really big
• 84:30 - 85:00 into the air RB game so I can't remember if you said ARB or not but um we were big into air arcade for a while and we used to just go in and I think at the time they were playing more of their spit uh Spitfires on the British line and I was running the American line and we would just go in and absolutely bully kids like I'm talking like we'd probably each come out of there nine kills each just yeah shredding people you almost winning every single game best Squad every single game shredding kids yeah we were farming
• 85:00 - 85:30 back in the day oh yeah so much fun what about air RB air RB um I'd have to say probably when I got the um the F4F ice and really got to test out the am1 120s for the first time and like I think we me and hoppy were playing I don't remember who we were playing with hoyd and we were kept getting Afghanistan over and over
• 85:30 - 86:00 there's one other person with us was it redacted or was it was it Tater maybe it was Tater but we were we were just going back and forth and we like there's that one corner because it's a really small map you know it has those two spawns that go straight to a point and you can either go over the mountain to the point or way far out and we just kept going straight to that corner and we were just skirting that corner and I was just and am1 120s at people and like there was times where I was getting like three or four kills just going through that corner I would die probably instantly
• 86:00 - 86:30 after but it was it was probably probably one of the funnest times too yeah you could come out three kills instantaneously going around that corner everybody was hitting that thing going as fast as they could you couldn't even tell whose missile was going for who because you just saw four alerts hit your screen but man it was it's fun that hitting that little corner on those short spawn Afghan Maps is fun especially in a little bit lower than top tier right like you get down into r60 planes that run those r60 MKS Mig 21
• 86:30 - 87:00 laser for example or Mig 21 like you go around that corner with r60s loaded up you're clubbing someone immediately even even the Mig 23 man and using the r24 RS around that corner R T's T's are just devastating if you get those the t's and and the RS are are really good too if you can get that piece of crap radar to work quick enough you know that's the hard part about that but I got it down pretty good around that corner to get those R 24rs out well
• 87:00 - 87:30 then you got that really weird lock on acquire mode right it's like it looks like a pencil you're like you have to get that guy in that pencil you're like oh my goodness at about at about mock one and a quarter you know and everybody's flying at each other around a corner like that it's like it could be pretty tough to get that lock on an R but it's it's really fun and satisfying because those RS if they are locked you will Club someone with them if you shoot right direction yeah I find myself fighting uh radar more than I do actual people in that damn game yeah I think I think one of my one
• 87:30 - 88:00 of my recent memorable moments I think me and you were were flying something f4s f4s remember we went to bomb this base like way out in the roof oh yeah yes I do tell that story hug Maps tell that story so we it was one of those the bigger Maps you know it has like that the line divided for each team and I was I think I was grinding for my
• 88:00 - 88:30 um to get my ey my F4F I so I can get the Euro Fighter and we we were bombing out just middle of nowhere way out left dude out in the mountains and out of nowhere it was a tornado that came out it's something I don't remember what exactly it was I know there was a MIG 23 and a tornado in that mix yeah so I I just remember um we were going through and tater being the nice guy was he wanted me to get my bombs out so I can
• 88:30 - 89:00 get my Euro Fighter because he already has it he um he was like Hey I'm going to draw this guy around the mountain because he was way up in front of me so he came around the mountain and I think I think the guy got a missile off on you and killed you maybe but not for a while I I I took him for a long wild goose chase before he finally got it took a minute dude but um he came around that corner and right as they came around Barrel around that corner as he got that missile off on Tater I just dude hit him with the guns and absolutely shredded
• 89:00 - 89:30 him he had no idea it was coming you pulled a rope a do and a that's the best I think actually I think I got the M23 is what happened I got the Mig 23 and then I went I saw the other guy which I don't remember exactly what he was a tornado Poss I think it was a tornado and I remember Club in the Mig 20 he was off to the right I hit him he didn't even see me coming he was like I blindsided him bad you know I really and that that a for get such good missiles you know you can really whack somebody
• 89:30 - 90:00 with a with a phantom and I just yeah earh hold the [ __ ] out of this dude never saw coming never flared never nothing and uh and then I had to turn and I had to choose right there if I wanted to turn and engage this tornado or if I was going to let you go bomb and turn the other way and let him engage me and that's what I did and I I took him like like miles I was Miles Ahead of TJ and I and I Cruis and cruising cruising like through these valleys and I'm like okay I'm going to turn left and come
• 90:00 - 90:30 through this other Valley right back at you and as soon as I made the corner the dude like popped up over and shot me but he was pointed right at TJ and TJ just nailed him dude and then bombed the base and then he bombed the base on top of that and got back and had a huge game out of it because I think he actually ended up with one or two kills on the way home too so yeah I did yeah you had a huge game yeah I love three kills in a base bombed I think on that game but by the time I could even make it back to base to rearm we were already done we
• 90:30 - 91:00 won the game little little bit of tactics little bit of tactics of pay off right like if I would have seen the tornado a little earlier I probably would have done something different but yeah Club the poor Mig 23 so whatever he was just trying to he was just trying to get a MiG 29 but he didn't he didn't get a chance what about our epic BV 238 runs man we had back in the day remember we would all three we it was your dad too it was all four of us yeah it all four of us it was four of us and we'd be wing
• 91:00 - 91:30 tip to wing tip in BV 238s right like yeah pushing them pushing them like you climb climb climb and and back then they didn't have like like you'd see like what p p60s is that what like if you had a bad game p63 I think your p63 if you had a bad game like real out tiered you get the p63 which come up and kill you every time but nobody else could really climb up there and we would just Des basis we' win a whole game and and half half of the team hadn't even died yet you know it's like they were mad we'd
• 91:30 - 92:00 all go together in formation and then two would split off uh right two would split off left we'd bomb those bases and that was back when they had um after you killed the two the four bases they had their main Airfield that you'd have to bomb and kill yeah and we would all go and swarm it and all all four of us together with all of our bombs we'd like our leftover bombs we'd all drop on the base and game would be over just instantly I remember a lot remember any poor oh yeah any poor FP 51 that would
• 92:00 - 92:30 fly up and try to get a snag on us dude it would just be you would just see nothing but freaking tracers going through the sky it would just be shredded mhm you start shooting like I would always start shooting like two miles out I had a really good crew so my guns went D and they reload fast you know so I'd be shoot like two miles out and this poor dude he'd have to turn off mile and a half out he's going get close you know he's like you ain't hitting him but he can see that rain of bullets coming at him you know he's like I I don't know if I want to play this game anymore so that
• 92:30 - 93:00 was always so much fun there was always I remember in the BB runs there was always somebody like if you're running thre man or fourman even there was always like another one that would spawn almost always CU everybody was running them and there was always that one guy that would bomb the bombers I just I have a great clip on my twitch of this right this dude pulls above me and bombs me with his bombs on my team right and it blows me up and I'm spinning out of control and I just aimed all the guns at
• 93:00 - 93:30 him and cut him in half as he's going by I'm like [ __ ] you dude I'm like welcome to YouTube dude I think I even typed that I think I even typed welcome to YouTube like what are you doing man the BB dude those were awesome days I loved it we had it down to a science we knew exactly how many bombs to drop on each base and we knew how much we had left over to kill the Airfield and it was that was a good time I remember um
• 93:30 - 94:00 I'm going to pull a clip up here because this was hilarious right like way back in the day playing with Fubar and he was we always called him the mutinous Mexican you know he was out of control playing this any games that he played right um where am I at here M videos let me let me dig this up because it's it's hilarious yeah there's I'm sure there's
• 94:00 - 94:30 a lot of good clips of just whatever crap we were running into back in the day on there which is being really annoying but I'm gonna try to get to this in time going live shoot your own guy down right now yes he your own guy now right now oh let me back it up how do I big say big [ __ ] sorry dude we'll let it restart it'll play again but it is absolutely hilarious play shoot your own guy down
• 94:30 - 95:00 right it's not GNA tell me it's not gonna give me the whole thing ah whatever but uh so much fun to play that stuff with with Fubar because he was always shooting his own people down like he'd shoot at a guy and that dude would die or like before his Missile hit cuz he was like I don't know what kind what plane he had but it was trash and uh that missile would just take off into La La Land and Club a friend every single time we finally told him to stop playing it it's like dude you're killing more friendlies than enemies stop playing that
• 95:00 - 95:30 plan he was just losing silver every match he was it was it was ridiculous oh now it's going to let me show you guys the whole thing I don't know what that was about let's watch the whole thing here go live all right you guys see it shoot your own guy down right no it won't it's so mad at me I don't get it it's a 2 second clip playing like the last 5 Seconds there it goes oh oh oh oh give me some ass give me some ass watch
• 95:30 - 96:00 this [ __ ] oh every time every time that was just uh that was just Fubar playing playing War Thunder Man he was that's so unfortunate to cuz right when he locked and launched that guy just got sniped and why that missile didn't stick to that guy I don't know
• 96:00 - 96:30 but you think it would have the hell out of him I actually I actually have that clip of the bombing run too let me see if I can find that real quick because you guys are going to get a kick out of that um we haven't done a big BV 238 bombing run in a long time man they're just not as good as they used to be it's been about a year man they used they made it to where was like oh you got to you got to just keep Reb bbing the bases it kind of killed it you know I've got a
• 96:30 - 97:00 couple here I'm not sure which one's which but this one's from five years ago let's see what I got here it might be terrible but all right you guys see it yeah yeah no it did it again Timmy why does it do this to me when I go full screen no it's not going to let me watch the whole dang clip whatever I hate this thing
• 97:00 - 97:30 anyway but uh I man we had some we had some good times I have a ton of Clips um unfortunately Xbox erased a lot of my clips of stuff but I do have some really fun clips of fun times back in War Thunder and World tanks we first started playing War Thunder Man we uh we played tanks right we were like let's play some tanks man we're good at tanks we learned real quick we weren't very good at tanks but I do remember like one thing that like baffled us was you could use the little
• 97:30 - 98:00 toe rope so oh yeah I don't remember what map it's been so long ago but there's this big Ravine and there's a cliff up here and we're up here on this cliff and there's a Dude down in that Ravine right I'm like I got the best idea hooked a tow rope up to the tank behind me and I got dangled off that cliff and shot that dude in top of his head and I was like that is I had a clip of it for years and I was playing on box you know but of course they erased all those but it was so much fun just I was swinging like this and I was just like
• 98:00 - 98:30 shot that dude and then I couldn't get back up so it was whatever but I think I ended up getting dropped but it was absolutely hilarious it was worth it for sure oh yeah yeah yeah I wish I still had it so um let's talk about a little bit more of the older games we used to play teach you remember the Battlefield one days of us clearing the streets of France or Germany or whatever it was we
• 98:30 - 99:00 were playing in back then oh yeah do you remember the old uh the the plane runs that we used to do yeah we be on the plan dude oh we we would Own the Sky on that game there was not another plane in the sky when we would run it yep that was always so much were real fun CU remember right you just played like one person in the plane right and and then you had but we always had like the ground spotters that were always like so good at it right like I need you to hit this spot right here yeah you could
• 99:00 - 99:30 drill that guy on the ground and it was just they were so mad like they're in this building and you just decimate that building [ __ ] there was some planes that had the tail Gunner on it though that's ho used to always shredding people yeah I do remember that little tail Gunner yep that could Point like any direction right like they had they had like two guys in one cockpit but it could turn around that was funny yeah yeah used to sh the battlefield one days were good do you remember when you could ride the
• 99:30 - 100:00 horses on there in the in the desert Maps y right the then he had like iron sights on everything so it was like hel loose version one because you couldn't see anything you waiting for that pixel to move again and you'd pop that dude but that was funny it was like every moment was like complete cinematic moment like there would just be bombs going everywhere people dropping smokes blown up new new foxholes to jump in I love Battlefield 1 so much we put a lot
• 100:00 - 100:30 of time in that one tanks were right the old T they were the old those were so much fun that was a great Battlefield yeah the only other game I think that that really turned me off from Battlefield was going to hell out Loose because because hell at loose was just Battlefield one time 10 right I mean it was World War II not world one but it was so much fun I remember playing with hobby we would we played sniper Scout a lot right yeah oh man we
• 100:30 - 101:00 used to shoot people so far away it's like like I could barely see him but here's a round whack you know you see you'd see that dude you remember we could we could turn the tide of a match we we got so good at scouting because we would go wipe out their artillery and then and then start we would start playing Super sneaky and going and ruining their uh their Munitions and and their spawn points and everything we were we were little Devils on the oh
• 101:00 - 101:30 yeah thing we do is take out the artillery every time go get the artillery and then after that we go do something else that would ruin the rest of our game you get rid of that artillery and it's you know that's a game changer in he'll let loose right you go knock the artillery crews out and then a lot of times we would just shoot them from so far away too you know we would we would get in a good spot and we would spend you know like a half an hour to find that spot sometimes and lay down there and just plug people over and over again and and then we'd wait like 5 minutes and they'd all be
• 101:30 - 102:00 like oh they must be gone or dead and then they'd get back on their artillery and we'd do it again so yeah we booby trapped their their artillery go set little mines and stuff around it that was always fun how many times you think while they were shooting it remember we used to put the mines up while they were shooting the artillery because they weren't paying attention yeah and then and then we'd shoot them and then they'd run back to the artillery and get blown up which was hilarious how many times do you think we
• 102:00 - 102:30 spent laying in a old Canal next to their spawn cuz there was a tank crew that was hunting us yo lots of time there's always we always had one tank out of the game because at least one tank was chasing us and not fighting you know it was like they're chasing Recon crew right now like what are they doing they were just fed up they must have been their commanders must have been screaming to get rid of that Recon cre that was out there in the weeds cuz the only thing I could think of oh that was so much fun I remember playing with you know both of you guys and junkie and
• 102:30 - 103:00 just being absolute men so that's five man five man on that right I think turkey played with us a lot too right turkey played a ton with us yeah turkey played a lot with us yeah uh I think my cousin played a lot with us we played a lot of Hell let loose I think we all have pretty good amount of time on that game yep that was fun how many times did me and turkey go and build the biggest Castle we could on those outposts you remember that yeah me and turkey would go engineer and just man Barb
• 103:00 - 103:30 wirewhere we would have we would have bunkers set up remember the team would come over and it we knew that they were going to lose the forward point so me with turkey would be back there and you guys be fighting and by the time you get back we have a whole mansion built for you like it was fortnite and you guys would be like oh hell yeah you guys put this Machine Gun Nest here we're getting ready and then they just couldn't they couldn't get in that was fun that was that was some of the most like insane battles I've
• 103:30 - 104:00 ever played in on Hell let loose right there because if you have a good engineer team man you can it gets brutal everything about that game right like if you have a good good squad of whatever they're supposed to be doing then they're actually doing it it really helps that game like helps your team win a lot the biggest thing was always you know you'd always get no Commander and one of us would have to go be a commander and that was I hated doing that cuz it was I hate being the commander yeah that's not fun I I want
• 104:00 - 104:30 to be the guy that's running around freaking shooting people I don't want to be the guy that's barking orders so that was always not not fun to do that but or the meat grinder moments where you're in a pinch Point like TJ how many times have we been crawling across a bridge and there's just oh man countless countless times yeah it's just a meat grinder the slaughter for straight minutes no no one made any advance no break at all yeah yeah machine gun and an ammo guy just constant right nonstop
• 104:30 - 105:00 yeah yeah that was fun those were fun fun games to play I mean I mean even like even back in like the Call of Duty games we do stuff like that try to play tactical in Call of Duty which is pretty much impossible but we always try you know and when you play tactical and and you succeed and you learn what what you can do and what you can't do it's always so much more fun to play like that especially if you have a good team you know and guys you play with all time
• 105:00 - 105:30 like to play with these guys all the time you know so it's we always figure out something to do you know yeah the best is when you it's like all of us playing and then there's another Squad that is really good at communicating that like kind of groups up with us and then there 10 of us going yeah the points don't last long after that we're turkey just being the old super medic man you get shot on open field and somehow he would figure out how to get to you and get you out of there alive
• 105:30 - 106:00 every time like you didn't die much if Turkey was around it' be the shittiest situation ever and somehow he's there yeah like what the hell I don't even think his gun functioned I think he threw his rifle in the bushes like four miles back because I don't think he ever used it but he was definitely making sure everybody else was using theirs so I'd be all burned cuz I just went you know spent five minutes trying to advance and I get shot and I'm like dude I'm freaking looking at my phone for a minute lay here and bleed out next thing
• 106:00 - 106:30 you know I'm out in the middle and I see like eight Germans pass me but then there's turkey that comes crawling out of a bush like Batman it's like what the hell yeah and then you turn around because they've Advanced past you and shoot them all in the back right like that was always so much fun yeah yeah I love that game yeah that was a and that game's huge on Console too I mean it's it's big on PC but it's really big on Console as well it's there's a lot of people that play that
• 106:30 - 107:00 game I think that's one of those games that's that like kind of makes like if you're in a community like ours like TLP that's where it shines the best because you have it's team based you got to have a group of guys that are good if you're going in there by yourself it's kind of I mean you can you know voice chat and have fun with folks but when you're going in with the guys you know know how to play that yeah the communication on PC the the
• 107:00 - 107:30 communication's a lot better but I wish they would make it a little bit easier on Console but it is what it is yeah and then you know there's always the fun of you know you go in and you go mess with redacted he's he's set up somewhere it took him forever to get there and you go Whack Him with a shovel real quick y i remember redacted running around he always you always bug us you know do something stupid and so you could change your name like on the fly in the game right I Chang my name to like TLP redact harded or something and run around for a
• 107:30 - 108:00 while that was always so much fun that was the best and everybody's screaming at him because he's doing stupid stuff but it's not even him it's one of us with our names changed yeah yeah yeah that was so much fun poor redacted yeah he gets picked on a lot yeah well sometimes I think he it's part of the fun for him too because then he tries to get us back oh yeah yeah for sure he likes it yeah he
• 108:00 - 108:30 does oh my God TJ we're almost two hours into this big guy oh wow went by quick yeah yeah what else what else do you want to talk about te what what do you got to say oh is there anything else you guys want to talk about with any games or anything some Fallout get it throw it in there too Fallout now that's a game that I love I don't know about the rest of you guys I've personally played every console Fallout you can play and I I'm
• 108:30 - 109:00 actually going back and playing Fallout 3 right now just because the oldest one I haven't played in a long time um what's your guys's favorite Fallout New Vegas New Vegas for me 100% yeah New Vegas yeah New Vegas is just New Vegas it was by far the most Superior Fallout has to been just the gameplay was better on it you know than all the other ones the story was was really good it wasn't quite so open-ended you know like three and four
• 109:00 - 109:30 were like so open-ended they might as well just been a survival game for a lot of that game you know and then but New Vegas I like I like the story lines of of RPGs like that and Vegas really shined on its story it was so good and even if you like I don't know if you guys watched The Fallout series that came out last year or whatever but man that that was good it was really good good and then I noticed at the end they were like right at the end of the game or the series looks like they're going to New Vegas with the next next season so that should be fun like there was
• 109:30 - 110:00 kind of a teaser at the end there like New Vegas to me so I'm hoping to see Justice oh me too because yeah you you're not going to be able to beat I don't I don't know if fallout's ever going to beat New Vegas to be honest I really don't think they're ever going to bring back another Fallout that beats New Vegas I think it's going to require them to get obsidian to be a part fall out again or something something else you know just like think they they did like a good thing when they did the
• 110:00 - 110:30 whole 76 multiplayer thing but it was also done so poorly at the beginning that it turned so many people off from 76 that it was just y it was completely trash you know it was I pop out of the vault at level one and I make it to level four and get shot in the face by someone who's level 400 I'm like come like this isn't even fun man like what am I supposed to do about this you know yeah you can't shoot him back I mean you can but you're not going to hurt him which which I that's like one of my huge complaints about like 76 is like the the
• 110:30 - 111:00 leveling and the gear levels is is nonsense to me it was always that way with like division um yeah I've got a 357 Magnum in my hand and I shot a dude point blank in the eyeball with it and he's like shoots me back you know what I'm it's like with a 22 with yeah and it's like that is such crap I mean you get shot in the face with a with anything you should die you know in the game and and uh and respawn or whatever it is that you do was like hell at loose that game does not do that right like you you get shot you're dead you know that's
• 111:00 - 111:30 that's like the nice thing about those games it's not about grinding up armor that uh is indestructible and and that's where 76 I think failed a lot for me I think if Fallout was to knock it out of the park really if they really wanted to would be to be like two to four Co-op player style Fallout similar they did that mhm if they went the route that Borderlands did with with a huge RPG that is Co-op multiplayer all the
• 111:30 - 112:00 way through or Halo you know any of those games that did it like that and put it in the Fallout Universe would be an amazing game um because now they got the the base building component to it too that would be really really fun for you know smaller Co-op where you could build that big base and and and you know in Fallout 4 they had it to where you would get raided and and things like that if they just implemented that into a smaller multiplayer setting where it's PVE and and really made it to where
• 112:00 - 112:30 yeah look at all the older guys that or not older guys but OG's of Fallout all those games were always just PVE and then they added this PVP variant to it and I think it turns like 50% of their player Bas off because of the PVP CU I know guys that are in their 60s that play Fallout like I know quite a few older guys that you know they're not part of T and I just know him personally like yeah I've been playing Fallout you know it's like oh cool like I tried that 76 about burned my Xbox to the ground
• 112:30 - 113:00 the second I played that game it was like I can't say I blame you game's trash so they were just pissed that they spent money on it you know and and they're never going to turn it back on ever they played it one time and they'll never turn that game back on it's just not for them you know and and Fallout was always PVE you know yeah same with you know like Halo and Borderland they had their P PVP variant you know Halo did like it was PVP was huge but in Halo and then they but they had that amazing
• 113:00 - 113:30 Co-Op campaign in that game and I have I've got buddies real life buddies that play Halo religiously all the way from one clear up to the newest ones you know and they Yep they're always playing just the The Campaign on repeat man with somebody new you know like well let's go through it on the hardest difficulty and get you everything all the achievements and all that crap you know they really into it they still play it they play competitive too but it's all about PVE and Fallout I think it really should be anyway yeah I
• 113:30 - 114:00 agree and I think Fallout 4 has a good basis for it if they just you know to Me Fallout 4's the thing I think that's kind of set New Vegas apart in the tone was just that it wasn't so dark like it's like physically dark in the game cuz Fallout 3 is the same way and I love fall Fallout 3 and I love Fallout 4 but New Vegas is much brighter in its tones I think if they just brightened up the game a little bit it would be I think
• 114:00 - 114:30 more people would enjoy it they just delete the color green from their from their computers they love the color green on there oh everything's Green Man even stuff that's not supposed to be green is green it's like you guys just like built the whole game and then put a green Hue over it like holy crap man and Vegas wasn't that way right New Vegas was was looked way more correct colors I think more natural tone they're in Vegas so there's all those pretty lights and colors and all that stuff going on too
• 114:30 - 115:00 which I think helped a lot too but yeah and and you'll actually you know we've talked to a lot of like hardcore Fallout fans they hated New Vegas just because it was way different but I think as far as just being its own game if you don't consider it part of the Fallout series the game I think far is far better than the rest of the ones even four yeah it cuz cuz four came out after Vegas and I was all excited for four and I was kind of let down to be honest with you when I got four I mean it's still a fun game but it's not it's not New
• 115:00 - 115:30 Vegas and the team that ended that actually made New Vegas ended up making uh outer worlds and I just call it space New Vegas yeah Spas that's what it is yeah and I've been wanting to play that one that it's fun it's a good time I really enjoyed it I actually like it better than maybe hot take but I think it was better than Starfield yeah I could agree proba with honest disappointed with Starfield man
• 115:30 - 116:00 it was supposed to be the next big Bethesda title that was going to be a box office break for gamers and that was the that was the space b or space Fallout right that just came out long ago yeah I played I played quite a bit of that and I was like boy this isn't really what I wanted to play I guess yeah but you TJ you play no I haven't played any of them uh what was the other one that you were saying hobby the Outer Banks outer worlds outer worlds I I want to give that one a shot
• 116:00 - 116:30 because I remember what was it the other day it was like maybe what two two days ago that you guys were talking about it and it sounded pretty interesting I'm thinking about G that one shot a little bit if you do you won't be able to feed the snail dude just just keep feeding that snail buddy snail is hungry yeah I will I will say though like I think with New Vegas the dialogue is in the way that the missions play out I think I like more than the other
• 116:30 - 117:00 fallouts there's just more weird wacky stuff in New Vegas kind of keeps it feeling like a new thing every time because sometimes the side quests on Fallout get a little repetitive but Vegas is always some weird thing there's always some weirdo that's looking for you to screaming that he just got a lotto ticket and then yeah I don't know about you but I quick save at that moment and he gets blasted but Mick and Ralphs Mick and Ralphs yeah Mick and rals yep you a quick save at Mick and Ralph's
• 117:00 - 117:30 you're playing the game wrong the um the story line to 76 to that me to that one that one just kind of dragged on man like it if like it felt like it was never ending and it was you know you to go talk to this person then this person then this person this person you're like I'm even am I even doing a mission right now like what am I am I doing a side quest it was hard to really determine if you're doing a main quest line versus just like a side quest yeah
• 117:30 - 118:00 but it was always the same thing you got to run to this location and and do the same thing and it was the same it felt like just the same repetitive style of taskings versus how like New Vegas was laid out to where you feel like you're doing something different even though you're kind of doing similar things but the dialogue from each location of what you're doing for the quest and even side quest were so different and like they had their own like they their own
• 118:00 - 118:30 humor to them you know what I mean I will say one thing about 76 they definitely got right they nailed it the map I love the map at 76 yeah running around on 76 and just looking around is so awesome they did really good on that I mean 76 you if you play 76 and you've played ESO it's like you feel like you're playing the same game right like that's what I feel like it's just I
• 118:30 - 119:00 haven't played ESO it's like it's like ESO reskinned in my opinion to Fallout mode but yeah which which is fine I guess if that's what you're into massive multiplayer stuff but you know that that's another like another whole game The Elder Scrolls game I played that from what was the first like one I played was three morrowwind I think played that played Four Oblivion you know Skyrim I played all of those and they were amazing and then ESO drops
• 119:00 - 119:30 out and I'm like this is not the same thing what what are we doing I don't want to play this [ __ ] like I want to kill dragons and [ __ ] by myself so that's another game that I think could could honestly do with the same exact thing we're just talking about with Fallout if it had online co-op where you could go play not necessarily Skyrim but the next series you know because they those games progressively got better as they went along there wasn't like good good really really good and then all right and then crap it was good good
• 119:30 - 120:00 good good good what is Theo it's not even the same thing and then they need another one but having some online co-op would be so much better like even if it was two player only but you know why not go to four if you're going to do it and and make it you play with your friends and and you know same with Fallout just just make us come on guys just make us a freaking Fallout this Co-op like come on take a page take a page out of all the top titles in the world and figure out what they're doing they're having online
• 120:00 - 120:30 co-op that's what they're doing if they really wanted to crush it they would take a page from Fable 3 Fable 3 Coop was so good I I TJ I don't think you ever played that one did you no I haven't Fable 3 co-op mode was so so good the one that I like I played was two I think the one that I like probably better than any other online co-op was Borderlands Borderlands was it well for one it was completely unhinged game like insane [ __ ] happening all the time which
• 120:30 - 121:00 was so much fun and then you could bring your buddies in there and and it had a lot of like Diablo to it you know it was like just just running and gunning and and beating the [ __ ] out of everything in front of you and it was so much fun and uh I don't know like the last couple have been kind of out there but those first couple that they made were just insane cuz it was like the first like real multiplayer game of that type right like you could just and you and I know when they originally made the game they
• 121:00 - 121:30 tried to make it where you could take parts from guns and put them onto other guns and mod all your [ __ ] yeah and and they really struggled like they couldn't do it but they ended up with like random procedural guns and I ended up with some [ __ ] like it was insane like you shooting people and they just heads pop off you know it was so much fun but you know that that was like the game that really did it I think straight off the bat for me with with trying to do co-op in in a campaign was was for one Halo Halo did it first Halo did it best and
• 121:30 - 122:00 and Bungie just knocked it out of the park with all the Halos that they did and then I think I think Halo kind of [ __ ] the bed when Microsoft picked it up but that's just kind of my opinion of it um yeah definitely not the same game it was it's like when Call of Duty went all Halo jumpy it was like wrong wrong thing to do man you just do what you're good at you know go back to fighting World War II and [ __ ] but you know Halo did it first Halo did it best and then Borderlands did it really really well because they were just so unhinged with the humor and it
• 122:00 - 122:30 was so it was just crazy [ __ ] happening all the time in that game and I remember I still I still said it to Fubar you know all because we we played that game a lot and you'd come up to this dude he'd be in this little metal door with a slider on it and he'd open it up real fast and go what you want so I'd always say that when he called me on the phone like what you want he'd start talking all crazy Borderlands kind of had that like Mad Max vibe to it did very Mad Max the graphics were I think a lot harder for
• 122:30 - 123:00 some people to handle than others because it was just crazy but once you got shaded right yeah once you kind of got past the fact that the graphics are weird they're not bad they're just different once you get past the whole Graphics are different the game was like wow this game is freaking fun man I could play this game on repeat over and I did I played that game on repeat for a long time so much fun yeah a lot of good games from back in the day that I wish would make a at
• 123:00 - 123:30 least functionality wise would come make a comeback into the game scene I feel like we've lost a lot of it and you know even Battlefield today is not the same as it once was unfortunately the new one's trash the new one's hor I would they they went all over too right like they had bad company completely different game than Battlefield one such a different different games all three of those were significantly different and but they were they were cool you know I I didn't play Bad
• 123:30 - 124:00 Company a lot but I do remember I had a lot of friends when I was in school those guys played bad company and they I was like man this game is freaking sweet you know destructible environment everything that was like new to the big multiplayer games that was like a first like completely destructible everything in a that was when frostbite was King that was King Engine Back in the Day mhm and then they knocked it out of the park when they introduced the dice engines to Battlefield 3 and four and mhm and it was amazing I mean that I couldn't tell
• 124:00 - 124:30 you how many hours I have into just the battlefield you know um Bad Company series and then the three and four alone I I I spent a good chunk of my childhood on the on that game so I wish we could kind of go at least get some of those elements back yeah but you know maybe one day we will and I think the gaming companies might eventually see that hey people kind of are more looking towards that again and hopefully bring something
• 124:30 - 125:00 fresh with some of those elements to it but we'll see I think there's definitely still some good games out there hell let loose is one of them oh yeah loose is kind of one of those loose hell loose is simple right like you don't have to be a brainiac to go out there and pick up a rifle and shoot at somebody so which makes it good it's hard it's not an easy any means to learn how to play but it's not like you have to have a degree in engineering to figure out how to play it you know it's you just go out there and
• 125:00 - 125:30 start shooting stuff and die a bunch you know it's it's fun and I think like a lot of games nowadays have gotten to the point where they're so freaking complicated that a lot it turns so many people off to them just like navigating the menus can be trash on a lot of games you know and then you have all these other games where I mean you see it in every genre of game now they just getting more and more [ __ ] added to them where to the point where it's not fun like even like little cell phone games you know there's like so much things that you have to do to do the actual game part of it you're like well this is
• 125:30 - 126:00 not really what I wanted to do but I guess I'll I'll stick it out long enough to see if it's worth it and then most the time or a lot of the time they're not worth it you know you have to do so much other side [ __ ] that it's not fun anymore you know like back in the day it was you jumped in with your buddy and you went through blasted a campaign and it was amazing and that's all you did shoot and shoot and shoot or or race or whatever it was you know you just did all these things and it was simple and there's been a lot of lot of changes in games like I I
• 126:00 - 126:30 think Xbox 360 when that came out and PS4 I think those are probably the Heyday of games other than the graphics you know they're [ __ ] but compared to now but the game play is unbeatable on some of those games like completely unbeatable um well I noticed a big difference that like if you think about the games from back then compared to today I I could replay all those games a million times but by the time I'm done with one of the newer games that come out today I'm like that was cool I'm
• 126:30 - 127:00 never doing that again yeah yep yeah the replay value is gone I remember playing a game on Super Nintendo called uncharted waters I played that game probably 200 freaking times because the campaign was long it was open world and you could do whatever you wanted yeah it was you know pixel crap but um there's never been a game like it since you know and it was so much fun to play I mean they they actually made a um uncharted waters online which did the same thing that Fallout did and ESO it was just went to this massive multi pay to win
• 127:00 - 127:30 game and it wasn't fun anymore but um the first couple series of that game on Super Nintendo were so much fun to play um if you were into RPGs you know and you could do anything you wanted to in that game there was no set there was a set story but you didn't have to do it you know you could go be the law off into law land yeah and do what whatever you want to do but really really fun I think the game I go back to the most probably be Call of Duty Black Ops 3 the
• 127:30 - 128:00 zombies lot of replay value on those the movement oh man so much fun I know I know some of those Easter eggs for Black Ops 3 back of my hand I could pick it up right now hop on and instantly solo it by myself right now yeah and that's one of those ones where it's like simple as good you're just you know I mean yeah the Easter eggs can be hard for sure but complicated but there was plenty of Call
• 128:00 - 128:30 of Duty zombie maps that were real simple but it was so fun just to get to the high rounds on it I could be playing it for months on end yeah I played a lot of zomes man those were those is you could bringing anybody in too you know if if your usual crew wasn't playing you could hop in with anybody and it was still the same thing it was still fun it wasn't hard to pick up you know but there was skill to it sure like you know people got good at training zombies better than others but it was it was one
• 128:30 - 129:00 of those ones you could pick up one night and you could just have a blast for hours and hours and that was a thing to where it didn't matter how good you were you were still going to enjoy the game if you were into it you know it was always yeah you might only make it like four or five waves or whatever cuz you're complete ass but it didn't matter cuz you just started over and tried to figure out what you did wrong and and then contined on you know I'll still I'll still hop on uh Black Ops 3 Zombies every once in a while and I'll try and find like randoms in the lobby because you know how they
• 129:00 - 129:30 open the servers back up and everything I'll try and find servers like that and just I'll hop in and just you know be the team medic if I have to I'll just do my own thing train my zombies and see like the people go down I'll go pick them up and stuff help them through the Easter eggs and stuff and I'll sometimes I'll wind up with myself like I'll end up will lose the game you know like say we're in like round 30 40 and they're just not doing the full steps of everything but like I'll come out of there one down and like 40 revives just
• 129:30 - 130:00 because you know they're just for some reason they're just still trying to learn the game even though it's ancient feels like now you know yeah it's almost 10 years old at this point yeah yeah I have a lot lot of time on those Maps yeah some of the best games are the old ones CU you know at some point you're like you don't really care about the graphics that much much you just care about the gameplay you know I like I play the switch with my kids all the time you know and I'm playing like old school Donkey Kong because it's fun you know Super Nintendo Donkey Kong Country
• 130:00 - 130:30 I'm running around and they're like can I play I'm like I don't think you can handle Donkey Kong Country but you try and they're like oh zeldas too man like Oak of time I go back to that like every year or two because I think that's one of the best games ever made all time in my opinion it's just so good second best Zelda ever made second best in my op what's your first link to the past Super Nintendo that's a good that's a good one I went back and started a play
• 130:30 - 131:00 through one linked to the Past um again and I'm you know I'm to the point where I've gone through the light world and now I'm into the dark world doing all the all the [ __ ] in Dark World now and getting all the and I I was like playing I was like man I don't remember what how you get all this stuff and then I just started coming back to me I haven't played it in freaking what 20 years and I'm like oh oh I remember how to get this I remember how get this I played this game like 3,000 times you know and my kids are like how did you know that was there I'm like just let the OG work simmer down over
• 131:00 - 131:30 there y yeah and or it's really funny now like playing the switch you know those old games they like to play those old games because they're simple for for the kids you know yeah and they're like Dad I can't get through this part I'm like give me that [ __ ] I'll show you how to get through that [ __ ] D ding ding ding ding ding you know running around or whatever on any of those old games you know it's so much fun and and the replay value is still there I mean I'm playing them those games are 20 25 years old or older now you know or 30 might be
• 131:30 - 132:00 30 years old even I don't know like early 90s right there people there's people still to this day playing Super Smash Bros melee competitively from like big money even old school Super Smash Bros on 64 I think that was the first one right the original one yeah I remember me and my buddies at we were kids you know and we we'd get like a like the phone would ring at the house you know one of my buddies he's like hey do you want to you want to beat up random Nintendo players with me I'm like oh yeah let's do it and you go get on
• 132:00 - 132:30 your bicycle and run across town you know to go beat on people see Smash Bros yeah and I was really bummed out it's not on the switch I I was really bummed at least I couldn't find it but super bum yeah I don't think they have the original ones cuz they have Smash Bros ultimate or whatever on the switch but there should be a new one coming out with the switch 2 being announced so we'll see if it's if they end up uh I think the switch 2 may end up bumping up their catalog too cuz I think it's a big success for Nintendo in general that
• 132:30 - 133:00 they have their old cat backlog on there so you never know they may end up adding the original Smash Bros on there I know I definitely like cruising through and see what old games they have on the switch what's the first console you played on TJ oldest console oh so owned or played on oh well whatever you played at least a lot on so console wise uh probably GameCube I play a little bit of there
• 133:00 - 133:30 reason the lame Cube yeah I never owned one but I remember playing some the old medal of honors back on there y Call of Duty Call of Duty was on it yep play dope dude I don't know if you play that hoby but man that remember that game being Rising Rising Sun dude I have good countless hours on that game yeah I never owned it um but and I never own uh the PS2 but I
• 133:30 - 134:00 used to play a lot of PS2 um at one my friends house play the old Lego Star Wars 3 back on there oh that game was goated everybody knew somebody that had a PS2 back in the day Y and then other than that it was I had a Game Boy for a little bit and then uh PSP I had like one of like I think it was like a blue one that was like a Madden Edition one that I had and um I ended up trading a couple games for like GTA San Andreas
• 134:00 - 134:30 and I want to say I was in like fourth fifth grade at the time too and I was just running around with my PSP playing GTA San Andreas and then it wasn't for a while that I had gotten my own console finally and I ended up getting 360 first but I used to play um the original Xbox too the old uh brothers and arm games that were on there I don't know I don't know if you guys remember those ones and then yeah uh you tatlor might know this game uh
• 134:30 - 135:00 you know I think it's called Commander conquer it's like the has like the squirrels yep and it was like the World War II based one yeah I played that a lot too at one of my friends house and then but first console own was definitely 360 cool thing about commic conquer is it actually came out on mobile you can play the old one on your phone now which is kind of cool I mean they're they're not as much fun as I think they were when they came out but you know there's when it comes to strategy games those do seem to continually improve over time you know
• 135:00 - 135:30 yeah but them old ones for their day were insane I remember playing I think the first game I ever played like the oldest game I ever played was probably Wolfenstein and not Wolfenstein 3D or anything like that like OG Wolfenstein and then it was Doom those were probably the oldest games those were back on old computer like Windows 3 or something 3.1 or something like that we used to play those those were so much fun to play and
• 135:30 - 136:00 then uh you know those games have have wolfenstein's a lot of fun that game doesn't get a lot of lot of like recognition but if you ever get a chance to like pick up an old version of Wolfenstein like on on Console so much fun to play they're out of control too they're like same as Doom you know the similar play style but it's just like a World War II killing nais is what it is and whereas Doom was you know killing crazy looking monsters but space monsters but you know it was always so
• 136:00 - 136:30 much F so much fun to play those those old games you know and I remember when I growing up we had uh the original Nintendo that's what we started on and I remember being a little kid with my brother and we would play Mario just regular Mario um first Mario that came to the US right we're we're playing the hell out of this game and I remember my dad's C doesn't come over he's like I I I'm going to I'm going to get one of those and play that I remember get the phone phone would ring all the time he's like I cannot beat this can't beat it
• 136:30 - 137:00 like come over here and get me through this level so me and my brother have to go over there and get him through a level you know so much fun another game that was like like I remember playing like hoppy was talking about was those zeldas on 64 yeah those were really fun because I I remember going through those my brother and I would go through we'd find all the little all the little things you could get and my cousin got it and he's a little bit younger than my brother and he would call us up every day I can't get through this
• 137:00 - 137:30 dungeon what do I do I'm like well that's the point of the game is trying to figure out how to get through those it's not for you to call me on the phone and me tell you how to get through them but finally finally ended up buying him one of those I think it was called Nintendo Power books you remember those like this thick magazine that was all about how to get through Zelda and I sh it to him I'm like here you go like stop calling me all the time you know I remember those those old Gaming books so you'd go to the like the
• 137:30 - 138:00 Scholastic Book Fair at school and if you had 20 bucks you were the man that day cuz you were getting cheat code books you were getting walkthrough books I mean they probably wanted you to actually learn something from it but no I was I was over there buying cheat code books I was buying you know the G the walk the playthroughs and stuff like that and then then maybe like a cool book about sharks or something stupid but um yeah I I used to have those they they make they still make those big Zelda books they're almost like
• 138:00 - 138:30 collector pieces now and they're they're huge and they make them really nice and stuff I I almost wanted to start collecting some of them because they were cool looking I remember I had the map big yeah I remember they used to put the maps you remember in the OG Red Dead Redemption every case had the big map dude I have that taped on my wall when I was a kid CU I thought it was the coolest thing I thought Red Dead Redemption was the coolest game on Xbox for years and I I it still might be but
• 138:30 - 139:00 it was um yeah I used to I forgot about the maps that they used to give you y I had them I had them for most of the zeldas I think I had it linked to the Past map which was really no use in having that but um time you know the mask mask yeah whatever the hell that one was I didn't like that one very well that was not my favorite one but oina time okarina time was definitely ahead of its time when it came out and it was a lot of fun to play I think that was the first like
• 139:00 - 139:30 free roam game I've ever played yeah probably probably the zeldas yeah that was like their one of their big things right was you could go anywhere I mean it still had a linear story he had to do things in a certain order but you could actually go anywhere you wanted you just may not be able to do part of it you didn't have the items but um that was really fun about those old school games like that yeah like another super cool old school game I don't know if you guys ever played was punch out you ever played punch out my dad did so I played
• 139:30 - 140:00 punch out on the switch the other day right super punch out and uh I made it through the whole game without getting hit one time the whole game I was like I from what I hear that game was extremely difficult too yeah I beat the whole game without getting hit one time I was like oh yeah I remember all this dude's moves you know I played it so much back in the day yeah I remember playing the old school Mortal Kombats you remember how good the dude mortal of it time too the
• 140:00 - 140:30 fatalities were out of control right like rip someone's whole like spine out like Predator you know it was so much yeah yeah Mortal Kombat was definitely ahead of its time and then uh I think when I was little my cousin's my grandparents got us this little um it was like a knockoff Nintendo but it had like the uh Sega controllers and we would play the uh what was the Capcom fighting game what was the street fighter street fighter fighter was good too yeah yeah I remember going when I
• 140:30 - 141:00 was in in in school there was an arcade or like just down the street from school so we'd wander down there at lunch and oh they had Street Fighter in there dude we just pump quarters in that son [ __ ] every day dude pump quarters and eat french fries man that's what we did every day and it was worth every quarter you put in into it because those so good yeah we'd walk in there with the $10 bill and get a roll of quarters and then uh yeah just play all all lunch and then you know hopefully he had some quarters
• 141:00 - 141:30 left for tomorrow that's how that game went and then I think that's something that's kind of died out too is the old school arcade games cuz like I remember when I was a kid you know you could go to the local pizza place and they had a whole arcade section actually have a funny story about that I uh we were in I was a kid probably like Middle School age or something we went to Pizza Factory and my brother and I are in the and and the neighbor kids that we hung out with all the time they were our best buddies we're in the back playing games you know and and we I was playing pinball and i' played this pinball like
• 141:30 - 142:00 a lot I knew quite a bit about this particular machine but you know on like a pinball when you get a free game it'll go that that knock like real loud bang and then I kept I kept getting them over and over again because I was just kicking the [ __ ] out of this pinball they actually kicked me out of The Pizza Factory CU I thought I was beating [ __ ] up back there I had so many free games on it they kicked me out told me never to come back and I'm like what the hell dude I didn't do anything yep I remember being a kid going in there and they had that it was
• 142:00 - 142:30 when the big screens first took over the big lky big screen TVs and they had the House of the Dead with the pistol you get dud me and my dad must me and my dad he must have put a whole paycheck in that freaking machine for us to play we used to play house of the dead so much that P place they probably hated seeing us at some point but yeah being a little kid playing you had the pedal to look over the corner you would shoot and reload oh dude that was awesome that was
• 142:30 - 143:00 fun you couldn't move on your own but you could you could you could sideswipe a little bit do a little strafing yeah yeah yeah what about you T you ever playing the old arcades yeah I hob uh you would know the Pizza Factory they had the street fighter ones there too right M because I used to play a lot of that one when I was there all the time I think they had Street Fighter 3 yeah that one I played a lot and then they had the the like ra the old school like uh racing Sim game
• 143:00 - 143:30 that had the motorcycle you could ride on yeah y it was mainly the street fighter one that I played when I was there though that one I I used to kick some kids asses on when I was little yeah the best was when like there would be a crowd of people when he got into the high levels of an R game mhm that I think that's something like kids today are probably missing out on cuz you know we grew up with that but MH you know we're old now but it's uh it was a
• 143:30 - 144:00 fun time I think I hope you know something like that kind of starts popping up more too but yeah never know well with consoles at home why you gonna go dump five bucks into a game right like yeah it's awful hard like I'll still play a pinball because you can never get a pinball experience unless you're playing pinball but yeah yeah that's a good one that I I always play and you know most like bars and and saloons or whatever they usually have a pinball stuck in the back and you know that's always fun to go play those you
• 144:00 - 144:30 know and the nice thing about those is you get to look at everybody else's high scores and see if you can win which is really yeah yep you're not 10 million people yeah well I mean what are we at now Tater we got to be pushing close to three hours 224 yeah well we're doing good actually which is about time to call it
• 144:30 - 145:00 but TJ let's let's talk a little bit about TLP since you're in here huh just a little bit here yeah um all right what would you say as TLP your your best memory of TLP is uh honestly for me it have to be you know back when I first got to know everyone and in tanks me and just seeing how just everyone worked together had a good time it really drew me into it it took me a long time to join into it but I had other things going on in life at the time and I finally found the time to
• 145:00 - 145:30 really like get myself into it and get in and get my jacket but I would say that was always the biggest thing for me was just seeing you know it wasn't just more of just like people you play with or like friends it kind of felt more like a family in a way to me um what do you think so how hard was it for you to get into TP um it wasn't fairly hard at all you
• 145:30 - 146:00 know just you had that I don't know if it's still the same uh hobby would be able to tell say yes or no to that but you had that 30-day Pro like you know finding the people obviously but I already knew them all because me and hopp went to school together and you know so we I've known everyone for a long time and when it was time for me to finally join in you know just got directed towards the right person one second yeah and I think that's the most
• 146:00 - 146:30 common point to it as well is just you just if you if you get directed to the right person they can show you the right path and normally most people were able to do that for you yeah and so once I got to the right path and you know got to one of the recruiting officers at the time I think it was actually was redacted who recruited me in the IR man Y and then you know did my 30-day process and played with a lot of
• 146:30 - 147:00 people and you know got to Branch out and know a lot more people than I did know because at the time I really only knew like all the older tank guys like that was pretty much it and got to meet a lot of the newer people that played a lot of the different games and stuff and then after the 3day process you know once you vote in and got in and from there it's never regretted it it's always been a fun time MH yeah for sure awesome um would you what would you what
• 147:00 - 147:30 advice would you give someone trying to join TP or or maybe they're on the fence what what advice or words do you have for those people um I'll say the good thing is you know with TLP it's always been you know family first life first type of thing you know um they're not gonna no one's going to Hound on you you know say you're in and you got something going on you can't play for a while there no one's requiring you to you know every day just grind out a game
• 147:30 - 148:00 with them but you know the main thing I'd say if they're really wanting to if they're on the fence you know stick to it you know really good game Community I think you will meet a lot of new people that you'll enjoy playing with and you know there might be some people you don't really care for you don't have to play with them no one's going to be upset with you because you don't want to play with someone but you want to if you want to stick to it and there's no way you're not going to get it unless you do something horrible or break
• 148:00 - 148:30 mandate exactly so I mean like it's so easy I wouldn't say it's like a free ride to get in right I mean you do have to do your [ __ ] but it is pretty easy to get in if you just just be a normal person right like that's the biggest thing you know don't just don't be unhinged or out of control that's like the the easiest thing to do right you do your 30 days and in that 30 days you usually end up meeting a lot of people right because you're well technically you're kind of required to um and that's
• 148:30 - 149:00 that's been kind of part of our process since the beginning is just to get people to uh hop in and and meet people because um know I've always said it and everybody that's been on here so far has said the same thing I have as TLP is 100% what you make it to be you come into TLP and you don't talk to people you're not going to you're not going to get much out of it but you know you Branch out and add people up that are playing the same gam as you are it's you're going to find people 100% yeah I got I got people on my friends list from
• 149:00 - 149:30 TLP that we don't even play the same games together but we'll randomly hop in a party every once in a while and say what's up see how each other's doing and might dip out might end up playing a game together you know you never know yeah a lot of times you're not even playing the same game right like you and I were in talking earlier right we weren't even playing the same game we're just just BS talking about stuff and um and that's that's a lot of it too you know you find friends here um uh is there anything like you know what the
• 149:30 - 150:00 TLP network is right I mean you're you understand what we're doing here um what do you think of that I think it's honestly probably one of the best things to come into TLP you know give recognition to people who need it you know need the help and support you know trying to get their their name out there and they maybe want to make a career in gaming and this is a great way for them to do that right yeah we're gonna we're definitely going to start getting some of the content creators in
• 150:00 - 150:30 and and doing some interviews with them and and uh going you know forward on all that stuff so these guys can kind of get um a handle on things and there's so many guys that I think have really done a good job on Twitch and YouTube and they just they don't ever get the traction that they should be getting right and I think that's maybe what we can do to help just do whatever we can to get people to go look at their stuff and yeah and help them out a little bit
• 150:30 - 151:00 and um we actually had or have had a lot of really successful streamers in TLP too but you know their their whole complaint for them was always like well you guys aren't really doing a whole lot for us right like we're we're putting your name out but we're not getting our name put out so we're trying to kind of plug that hole here a little bit um and you were talking about doing some streaming you know or some YouTube stuff right um and if when you decide to do that what's what's your plan there so
• 151:00 - 151:30 right now I'm kind of limited because I don't have an actual PC with me so I can't really get a lot of the recording or streaming done so for how I'm planning on going about it right now is you know getting I already have like my Tik Tok just for TLP stuff made besides my separate one and going to be starting I'm gathering content currently to be able to actually start posting I'm probably going to base it more just around War Thunder because that's primarily what I play but um once I
• 151:30 - 152:00 start getting content and stuff then I'm hoping to hop over start YouTube and I'm probably gon to end up start streaming every once in a while on YouTube with it and then hop over to twitch when I get the time and all the equipment to be able to do so I mean the cool thing too I mean we have the you can record stuff on Xbox right like you can record like what five minutes or something and it saves it and so and then with the Xbox app you can actually put it on your phone you can download it straight that's what I've been doing there's a
• 152:00 - 152:30 lot of cool things you can do with that that can get you get you going and started on on at least getting some stuff out and like with your War Thunder content I'm not sure exactly where you plan on going if you're just going to do gameplay or are you going to Deep dive stuff I mean what's what's your plan with with War Thunder you know I haven't really fully decided I kind want to do a little bit of variety with War Thunder I want to do like you know the occasional like funny videos into it you know but also go into like the Deep dive of going specs and planes and maybe like history some planes because that's kind of what
• 152:30 - 153:00 draws me into games like War Thunder and World of Tanks is a lot of it's history based and I like history stuff so I kind of want to go into that too but I think I will be throwing in some gameplay in there too like when I eventually get to the point to where I start streaming I'll probably end up doing lines so I might even make a new account just for grinding lines on stream yeah that's a good idea I mean I think I think that just you know get getting started even if it's simple stuff like I've I've posted you know few Tik toks of of little things I've done
• 153:00 - 153:30 and they' they they've hammered pretty well just because it's yeah you know catchy or stupid or whatever that people like on there really figure can't figure that algorithm out but U maybe someday yeah I got I got a little bit of experience with doing like Tik Tok um posting because I used to do a lot of videos back when I was in the military so like I know format based and kind of know how to make it pleasing for like a video for Tik Tok format at least so I
• 153:30 - 154:00 kind of got like a basis like of that down you know what I mean yeah speaking speaking of being in the military you want to tell us a little bit of your history uh yeah uh so I join the Army in 2021 January 2021 and I signed a contract for 11 x-ray which is just infantryman but 11 x-ray is what you initially sign for and it they when you get to your actual
• 154:00 - 154:30 training unit that's when they decide if you're going to be in 11 Bravo which is a normal uh INF infantry Rifleman or an 11 Charlie which is a indirect fire infantryman or a mortar man so when I got there you know that's when I got put to my career path in the military which was an indirect fire infantryman or more and so I did you know six Monon oset training cycle and that was in Fort Benning Georgia then I went to Airborne
• 154:30 - 155:00 School in Fort Benning Georgia as well for it was about you know about a month three- week training and then like about a week to ship out to my unit from there I went to the 82 Airborne in Fort Brag which is now named Fort Liberty and I did three years there and had one rotation to Poland for a more or less training event kind of in a way I was there for about six months and then came
• 155:00 - 155:30 back to the States and finished out the rest of my contract in Fort Bragg nice how do you think um TLP does with um veterans very good and you know like there's there's a lot of veterans in TLP and I I think a lot of guys are drawn to it you know because it's got that camaraderie to it like same with the military you know like you get the military you get your close friends that you always stick with kind of you know
• 155:30 - 156:00 and hang out with and then TLP you have like some of your close friends and some of the other people that you like to talk to you know so you get it's nice especially for someone getting out to like have a group people they can go to that's awesome yeah that's I think it's a great thing I think we I mean we have a really high percentage of our members are veterans right so there's a lot of common ground there right you can Y and if you're going through some [ __ ] I mean you can always find somebody
• 156:00 - 156:30 that's probably done something similar right so yeah similar or Worse yeah yeah may not be the same thing but um we always talk about Fubar um you know Fubar was in the Marine Corps um um you know I'm not going to go too much details but um he was put in for Silver Star I believe twice uh that guy has been through some [ __ ] you know and he's mhm he's uh always been you know pretty good pretty good buddy and it kind of sucks he's not around anymore I don't we don't really know what food bar status
• 156:30 - 157:00 is besides awall right now but um right it's one of them things man he I think he's going through some [ __ ] so um but you know I I've listened to that man talk people off the fence before you know and and all kinds of things you know he's like he's like man I I know you've had it bad but let me tell you the [ __ ] that I've been through you know and and it it wasn't good you know and I've heard him you know tell some cool stories and I've heard him just cry you know break down and cry on a microphone you know Xbox party you know so I mean
• 157:00 - 157:30 that [ __ ] goes both ways and I think that TLP really helps a lot of people I mean we talked with pump earlier you haven't seen that episode yet but you we've had we' had people like clicking the gun on the mic you know it's like we've done there's been some crazy [ __ ] in TLP happening over the years there a lot of history here but yeah boobs is a good guy guy too yeah he's a really good guy yeah I miss having him around for sure boar if you watch this I'm going to come to your house and kick your ass if I don't see you pretty soon so get on
• 157:30 - 158:00 here uh probably not a guy you really want to fight no so probably not guy's been through some [ __ ] he probably don't care anymore so he's been in a lot of fights and he won them so I know if I would want to test it so yeah yeah yeah real ones so uh anything else about TP that that stands out for you TJ you know just it's kind of basically same thing I was saying you know there
• 158:00 - 158:30 always a good group of people if you're thinking about it hop in with them even if you're not like fully sure yet you know get like they play 76 hopping with some of the 76 folks you'll you'll see really quick what type of people we are and you'll probably end up liking it a lot yeah and we do that 30 days and that's not just for us right that's for for them for new people to kind of see if they're going to fit in too right so I mean the end of 30 days you're not into
• 158:30 - 159:00 it you want to come back later maybe you don't it doesn't matter it's not for everyone it really isn't for everyone it so that's about the about the best advice I can give is it's not for everyone but it is for a lot of people so mhm yeah and if you're interested in joining we we'll have a link in the description right that's the plan here OB if if you are interested I mean you can push that button and it'll get you to the right people get the ball rolling at least so yep um yeah it's pretty easy
• 159:00 - 159:30 and we're not 100% Gamers anymore we used to be 100% Gamers but you know a lot of the guys and and gals and TLP have stepped out of the gaming stuff a lot and they just want to focus more on you know having friends and and talking to people I mean they yeah they fire up an Xbox and jump in a party but they're not really even playing games a lot anymore you know it's yep and a lot of people have have gone completely off off the radar as far as gaming goes but you know we still talk to them a lot you know they're still they'll talk to them
