Right, I can't backstab this dude, can I?
Boom. Okay. going to the left

I tried to dodge at the right moment, but it still didn't work, did it? and I'm certain this is the only sane way to defeat the enemy. I shall be the Private Gervais laughed, but he is clearly too mortal to understand genius.

Some escape into daydreaming. Some into madness. Sheamus took the road in the middle. >> I don't blame you. >> Bro, can I give this man some um
Maybe give this man like some wine or something and tell him it's blood. It's so hard to tell when these guys are attacking.
There we go. Beautiful. A head honcho. >> This animal died recently. So, the plague is yet to affect it. Might be good
though? Something that's sweet or do I Oh. >> This bottle of wine looks very much like the one Sheamus gave me.
wine. Probably a terrible decision to play in this kid's delusion, but whatever.
There we go. Let's just get him out of the way.
>> It is done. The transformation is complete. FORCE. >> [laughter] >> SURELY IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I sprout a splendid pair of

I mean, his voice actually sounded a little different. Wait a second. And he gave us a ferrofluid power upgrade. Whoa.
headphones for for games that have very immersive audio, but um I generally do immersive audio, but um I generally do not use headphones. Yeah. that I can tell like really tries hard with like the positional audio and
stuff, then um then I'll use headphones. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm.
Okay, let's keep moving. That was awesome. game is not only wildly directional, but like the the sounds are just insanely like the the sounds are just insanely good.
I always play Stalker with headphone headphones, excuse me.
>> Let's go and just take that out. Thank you, Amelia.
[music] guy in the bottom would definitely want to come play, but definitely want to come play, but I guess not.
these on numbers across the top of our keyboard, this game will get significantly better for me. It drives me Every time I open the radial, I don't know what the opposite of a
happens. Like a dopamine hit in a game like this you beat a boss, when you get a cool item, when you get a pick up. Whatever item, when you get a pick up. Whatever the opposite is of that, no per means.
Every time I have to open this god damn radial, I get a hit of no per means. >> [laughter] >> I hate this.
Every time. Oh my lord. Drives me crazy that I have to do that on PC.
on console, but if I'm playing on PC, all it is is a all it is is a a very poorly designed barrier to fun.
you should ever have to use a radial on PC. There's There's no reason you should It's just it's lazy, unfortunately. I hate to say it, but it's kind of They just They didn't They don't have a design thing with PC specifically.
mouse wheel? You can, but then I have to go through seven different weapons and it's not It doesn't [music] It doesn't work, especially if I'm in combat.
I'm not saying that there's no Radials a thousand percent have a purpose. If awesome. They're They're fantastic if you're using a controller, there's no real reason to use a radial. Yeah.
So, what they've done is they've made it so the only hotkeys you can have are for your items, your quick slots. You can't actually identify any hotkeys for your
weapons and that's what I want to see. All I want is for this keybind thing to keep going down and for and for there to be a keybind for every weapon. That's all they need. That's all they need. And then I can put my weapons as 1
2 3 4 and then my items as Q E R, which they should be anyway. And stuff. So, it's like that's that's what I would want for my controls.
But, every time I open this radio, I get this little like I don't want to do this. >> [laughter]
the devs for that. It drives me nuts when there's a radial system on PC that you can't pause cuz that's just like a double whammy of suck. That is that is that is no bueno. That does not feel good.
It feels bad. For me, of course. Uh I don't I think so. I think it's on console. It should be if it's not. console. It should be if it's not. Perfect console game.
the game overall, dude. I was just giving it some some friendly [ __ ] for overall is fantastic. The fact that my biggest complaint is a very easy to fix control thing says a lot about the game.
It'd be I'm I'm guessing it'd be pretty easy. easy. A stasis wetstone.
didn't know these existed. Hell yeah.
Where is this going? Hey, there we go. Secrets. main weapon, so that is not too good for us right now.
replayability? I am not sure if this game has replayability, to be honest. I I I don't I don't think so. I've not been the course of the game, and I'm kind of getting enough upgrade materials to
upgrade everything I want. So, that being said, um I I don't know if there'd be like an another type of play-through I could do, You could There are two swords, so you could do like
one play-through with one type and one with the other. Um but I mean, you know, with the other. Um but I mean, you know, they're very similar still.
That's cool, man. Very Ghost Runner. Love that.
game because he delayed Shrouded for it. Uh not only that, yes, but the reason I delayed Enshrouded is because I I just want to play Enshrouded. I don't I don't want to like be playing other games, too. And I'm absolutely liking this game
So I did decide that I want to finish this game at first. we're going to fire up Enshrouded and focus on that for a while. when I played Valheim, so we're going to avoid that this time.
THESE THINGS ARE SERIOUS, and I can break it with a heavy.
business. We're going to have to keep that in mind. Uh what am I doing here? Over here?
this uh This is the place we've been trying to get to the whole time. And it looks like we finally have a way to get there. Although now, of course, I'm going backwards because there's stuff to do.
What the heck? Uh-oh. will actually upgrade our sword. So, next uh lamp we get to, we'll go
back and see if we can get one there. Oh, I missed a door, too. at first, but then I decided it was just part of the wall.
there. Oh, it's a shortcut. Okay, that's fine. probably not going to get a lamp soon, though.
Let's keep looking over here before we go into the main area. Uh >> [groaning]
>> Okay. Um
for this fight properly. >> [laughter]
Bro, you can't attack me in the air. That's not fair. wasn't I nearly full health? What just happened?
I thought I was like almost full health. Did that man just Did that man just murder me? I don't
Oh god, I don't know the fastest way to get back there. We're going to have to get back there. We're going to have to look around a little bit.
the ramp and then we can just go through that door, right? that door, right? Here we go.
Ow. Ow. Ow. That's That's my door. That's my door. This is going to work. Great. And then we went um over here. Dude, I can't believe this boss fight is hiding behind the back of
Is there like another way No, that's the only way to get here. That's crazy. This Uh okay. Let's do We'll do the shotgun.
Dude, we just started. Slow down. I just got here.
But hey, we got there pretty pretty well, so that's good. Do that again. Can I just run this? It's a different guy this time. Look at that.
Shotgun didn't do nearly as much as I thought. Ooh.
me to get murdered last time. So, we need to uh pop one of these. For the first time ever, we're going to use one of those. And then we use one of these wetstones
And then we use one of these wetstones and some hemoglobin stuff. Here we go. See how this does.
>> Oh, hell yeah. That's right. That is how you finish one of them off. Lovely. Lovely. Life diverted.

They I got them for Stalker 2 and they've been they they they've been they they next leveled Stalker 2 for sure.
I'm still trying them all. I have a Scuf on the way yesterday for Castlevania. I'm probably going to use it again today for Castlevania. I I think I like the GameSir the best so far.
GameSir the best so far. The the the the 8BitDo has extra buttons and they put the extra buttons next to where other buttons I normally use are and I found myself hitting the extra buttons by accident like a bunch
yesterday. So, honestly, I don't know if 8BitDo is for me. I I think the placement of the buttons on 8BitDo is not going to be for me. So, so far the GameSir is uh is is winning. But, I also have uh
I got a lot of recommendations for a brand called Scuf. I'm going to check that one, too. And um >> Mhm. >> What's that?
