Speaker 1:

Jim Bob Weiner. Okay, I can cross that through. We already talked about that. Tom said Weiner meat. I can cross that out. Tom and his Weiner meat, oh, giving them softly.

Speaker 2:

a podcast. Battle cry the toxic teachers kicking asses. Low and high Cause toxic reign of terror begins when toxic can't, he always wins.

Speaker 1:

Hey, check it out everybody. Hey, this is Camping them Softly, episode number 26, hosted by me. I guess. Why do I say me? You know, whenever people call you and they say you say who is it? They go me. And you're like who? Because you have a generic sounding voice. Anyway, it's me, the toxic teacher. And we've made it 26 episodes without being canceled, which is an accomplishment in and of itself.

Speaker 1:

Hey, we've got a. We've got, not a, would I say, a packed episode. I wouldn't say a packed episode. We have an episode that's got some stuff in it and I never know how long these are going to be. You know, some of them are as short as like 20 minutes. Some of them are like two hours long, and that's part of the fun. We have no idea. You're gonna have an idea by the time this uploads, because you'll see it, but, as of right now, have no earthly idea as to what's going to happen. We have no fucking clue. So we but we do have some stuff to talk about. We've got, um, we've got casting of frank stone, which demo is already out. It's coming out two days from now. This is recording on the first, which is sunday. It should come out tomorrow, which is monday, labor day, which would be the second. And then we've got casting of frank stone coming out on tuesday, which is very exciting. I plan to stream it. We'll see how that goes. You know it has twitch integration and we'll talk about that. You know I've been talking about super massive games a bit.

Speaker 1:

We've also got some forum posts from our good friends. Wait, is this the better one? Oh, I thought I had the other one. Where's the other one? Okay, I can turn that one off, thank god, anywho. And then we've got some forum posts. We've also got to talk about where all of our where all of our uh viewers are from, because you know I like to do that and I know you guys hate it, but I don't give a shit. We've also got nikki here with us again today, for better or worse, and, by by the way, you guys last week, uh, you had plenty to say about him going all satanic, which you know as well as I do. It would not be a good podcast if Satan wasn't involved in some way.

Speaker 1:

So, okay, so here here we go. So let's go ahead. We'll get started here. We can probably start out.

Speaker 1:

I don't want to start out with the frankstone stuff, because the demo just came out and there's some spoilers. Some people may not want to have it spoiled because they may want to be waiting for the full game. So I'm not going to start with that. That's going to come a little bit later in the episode, but I believe I can go ahead and start out with some shitty ass, um, some shitty ass, um. Survivors say the stupid shit. They say kind of yeah, there we go. Can I, can I somehow put these together? This is probably not right. Okay, this one. That's probably better. There we go, there, we go, there, we go, go. Okay, so we could probably get what was the guy's name? I forget the guy's name that I had used on that one before. If I could figure it out, that was the um, because I've got all these voices right and I've got like my voices, you know the ones I've saved and I can't remember if it was Asher or Ronald or I think it was Bill.

Speaker 1:

Yes, it was Bill before, so I'm going to use Bill here and the name of this post and I know I'm just getting into it, man, we're getting into it quick. Here today I'm like I am all on fire. I took my, took my pills already. So here we go. There is uh, oh geez, what the fuck is this? Okay, now, here we go. There's uh, let me get it, let me get it.

Speaker 1:

This is kind of a long post and I'll give you the different no, stop it bill, stop it bill, bill, quit it, quit it all right. So the name of this post, or the title of this post, is called slugging is rampant because there are too few advantages to using hooks. I actually don't want to use bill on this, because bills kind of are are like survivor, um, like our, our upset survivor voice, so I want to use your whole life. Okay, yeah, let's use jessica here. I think jessica can probably probably do this. So this one's all about slugging and why slugging is so rampant? Due to the all right. So here we go. Slugging is rampant because, what, there are too few advantages to using hooks. So we're gonna, we're gonna go over it with jessica and then we will stop from time to time and see what you know. We think about what she has to say. All right, let's get her going.

Speaker 3:

Due to the different play styles, many players on on the Asian servers are more interested in winning than having fun.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so apparently on the Asian servers it's cutthroat. I didn't know that. Maybe our friend in Tokyo. Celestial, what was it? Celestial Sky, celestial Moth? I believe it was, could give us a rundown on that, as to if the Asian servers are a lot more competitive?

Speaker 3:

I don't know on that, as to if the Asian servers are a lot more competitive. I don't know, especially since the update. There are a lot of players on the Asian servers who play with a slugging style. There are also many camps.

Speaker 1:

I would assume they mean campers. Okay, so slugging in Asia, terrible epidemic. Here are the advantages. She says advantages.

Speaker 3:

No need to worry about dead hard Off the record reassurance strike, etc. You don't have to worry about Flashlights, stun grenades, broken hooks, body blocks, etc. These can be very frustrating.

Speaker 1:

That's true For slugging. You don't have to worry About a lot of these perks, a lot of the counterplay that survivors have if you do a primarily slugging play style. Um, you're not, you're not going to have to face a lot of that stuff. So jessica so far makes some good points. Jessica's not necessarily a survivor main, though, so that you know. You can't totally discount that what she's saying. No, that's not Jessica, quit it, quit it, okay, keep going, keep going.

Speaker 3:

No need to spend time walking to hang on a hook. You can quickly put pressure on the generator.

Speaker 1:

That's true.

Speaker 3:

No stress because there is no anti-face cam system, no quick or patient status. Okay, give survivors more to-do lists when using knockouts.

Speaker 1:

Okay. So whenever you're using knockout, that might be a good slugging perk. That might be something to think about. How good is knockout if you're going to primarily slug, I'm guessing in solo queue it's going to be pretty good. With Swifts not quite as much. But that's a pretty big list of advantages. Those are some. That's solid there. As to why would I, as a killer, want to switch to a slugging style rather than just straight up hook? So good point so far, good point so far. So now Jessica's gonna take us into the disadvantages of being a slugging killer.

Speaker 3:

Disadvantages it takes 240 seconds to kill a survivor. That's wild, but even when hanging on a hook. It takes 140 seconds max.

Speaker 1:

Now that is not insignificant. They're equating almost 140 seconds to 240 seconds. That's two minutes 20 seconds to my count, and that's to four minutes. That's almost double. So I would say to hook them is half the time is to slug them and bleed them out.

Speaker 3:

And to walk to hang Survivor feels boring. Okay, but that's how competitive games are.

Speaker 1:

This is not a killer's concern, but bhvrs thank you very much, jessica, for that makes an excellent point. If survivor feels boring, that's not our concern. Give me a hell yeah. We could give her a hell yeah, jessica, because you're making the best point.

Speaker 1:

We don't care if the survivors have a good why, do we fucking care if you have a good time, I'm playing game. I play games so I can have a good time. I don't play games so somebody else can have a good time. Like, what's the point in that, unless it's my friend? My buddy comes over and we're playing the game and I'm gonna let him win because I played the game. You guys have all done that. You played a fucking mma game, you know it, just fucking. You played a hundred times. They played it once. You give them a little fighting chance so they have a good time. This is not that that. What in the hell is this crap? No, that is essentially not what this is. I think that's kind of ridiculous. Anyway, let's keep going, jessica. Give us more good points.

Speaker 3:

Pain, resonance and Pop Goes the Weasel and so on are not active, but these perks keep getting weaker.

Speaker 1:

Another excellent point by Jessica. In my opinion, they keep nerfing all of our anti-gen perks, all of our gen slowdown perks are being nerfed into the ground. And so what are we supposed to do? What are we supposed to do? Slugging is going to become more and more prevalent. Slugging is going to become more and more prevalent. Camping is going to become more and more prevalent. Because there is no good alternative, there is no strong alternative, because any strong alternative killers get, gets nerfed into the ground. So you've got to find something. And so if slugging becomes the number one, then that's just the way it is.

Speaker 1:

All right, so keep going, jessica. Jessica is almost done here, but this is a very intelligent post, so keep going.

Speaker 3:

I think there needs to be more benefit to using hooks. Make barbecue and chili the default, for example.

Speaker 1:

Okay, that is excellent. Jessica, I cannot tell you enough how much I love this, how much I love you. Give me a hell. Yeah, I know it's loud, but we need it. It deserves the loudness. Make barbecue and chili default. Why would you not want to do that? Let's do all the things that you want to do, jessica. I am only. I am with you. I am with you. You're not done with that. We got two words for you. So Jessica, perfect, perfect, perfect. Also, jessica has one more thing.

Speaker 3:

I am not good at English, so I use Deeple translation.

Speaker 1:

I don't know what Deeple translation is, but that is a perfect statement right there. Guys, I don't know how you can argue against this. Make hooks more valuable so killers will use them If you don't like them slugging. Give them an incentive to do something else, and I think that's the problem that we're seeing with survivors in this survivor mindset is that you oh well, they're doing something too much. You have to nerf it. There's something called unintended consequences.

Speaker 1:

Tonight, I truly will open up a job, so we're going to do it somehow we're going to get those kills somehow, because that's the point If you keep taking away the ways that we can get kills, we're going to get more and more imaginative with it. That it's the way it works, it's the way it's always worked, and this whole thing of just of just nerf, it's whack-a-mole at some point and that just it's not. It's not going well, I don't think, and it's causing a lot of it's causing a lot of problems on both sides, I think, and it's it leads to a less healthy community and it leads to a less healthy game overall. And again, I put that 100% on the survivors. There we go. Um, yeah, so let's go to the next thing. Um, that didn't last as long. I thought there were going to be a lot of posts.

Speaker 1:

I went down my list of potential posts because I don't like to read them all. Um, you know that way, I don't know exactly what's going to happen, but it looks like it's just. Uh, oh, my God, okay. So I was just looking down the list. Uh, let me see here. Uh, bl one. What is BL one? Killers could stand to struggle a bit more Genuinely. Don't see a reason for BL one and new wiggle. I don't know what BL1 is. What the fuck is BL1? She get, oh, bloodlust one. What the fuck? I don't. Uh, no one takes hope anymore. And made for this is bad. I don't see why killers should get BL1, bloodlust one. I forget the original justification for reworking wiggle, but with hooks respawning, I don't see why we need new wiggle. If a killer wants to greed for a scourge hook, there should be more risk. Oh my, oh geez, okay, um, let me see it. Just I, I can't this person. This is part of the problem. You get rid of bloodlust. They're going to find some way to make that up. Killers will find a way. It's kind of like a Jurassic Park right, with Jeff Goldblum where he says life finds a way. Right, life is going to find a way. Killers will fucking find a way, and that's just the way it works. So, yeah, so that's that way it works. So, um, yeah, so that's that. That was short. I thought it was going to be longer, but it wasn't longer, it was shorter. That's what she said. So, anyway, I think we can get now into our stats and are looking at where our people are from our locations. And I want to thank, from the last episode, I want to thank Baku Again.

Speaker 1:

You guys decided to come back. Frankfurt hopefully you enjoyed our little lowdown on Frankfurt. Germany, calistoga, california thanks for coming by.

Zarnovica Zarnovovica you've been by here? I believe you have. I need to look. I'm gonna copy and paste. Zarnovica in here is in Slovakia.

Is it Failmouth, falmouth, falmouth, falmouth. I'm going to repeat it over and over again what in the hell is this crap? Falmouth and Cornwall. I don't even know where fucking Cornwall is, cornwall? Why do they call it Cornwall? Why is it not Cornhole? Okay, so tell me, hang on, we'll have to ask Nikki. Tell me about Falmouth, cornwall. Curse in every sentence. I don't think I had it to where Nikki cursed that much, so I'm going to have to change it to where nikki curse a little bit more.

Speaker 1:

Oh god, here we go. Whoa. It says this content might violate usage policies. Why wait? Tell me about falmouth, cornwall. Okay, I don't know why. It said like it generated a response. Oh my god, no, the response it generated was extremely offensive. I can't even say it and I don't. Yeah it, oh my god, okay, it used the phrase inbred and I don't. I don't know if that's okay to say, um, I'm not going to they. I have a line. I don't have much of a line, but there's a line that I've got. Um, it takes a lot to go over that line. I feel like that might be getting really fucking close to that line. So, everything in the universe, stop it. Stop it, nikki. Nikki, darling nik. Okay, here we go, nikki. Tell us, without using the phrase inbred yokels. Tell us about Falmouth Cornwall. Oh God, yeah, I couldn't, it was right. So you want to? Nikki? Stop it real quick. I'm in the middle of a fucking sentence. Yeah, it violated a usage policy, I think on on the uh, the ai. So it might violate some kind of podcast usage policy, and I'm not trying to get banned yet.

Speaker 1:

We're at episode 26. We've been doing this for six fucking months. I'm not trying to lose it yet. Anyway, back to it. I didn't even do the. Where the fucking viewers from, did we? I thought we were going to and we didn't. News. I'm going to do news, if I search that, because I still have not downloaded it. No, that's not it. No, that's not it. No, that's not it.

Uh, that wasn't even the news. What am I doing? That wasn't even the news. I'm playing the news song for the geography. Where are viewers fucking from?

Speaker 2:

that's why I couldn't fucking find it anyway, what in the hell is this crap?

Speaker 1:

so let's go back. Nicky, you're gonna tell us about falmouth, cornwall, without using the phrase inbred yokels.

Speaker 4:

Please do so now, ah so you want to know about Falmouth, cornwall? Huh, all right, I'll give you the scoop, without all the colorful language this time. Falmouth is a port town on the south.

Speaker 1:

Thank you for not doing it with the colorful language. Keep going.

Speaker 4:

Falmouth is a port town on the southwest coast of Cornwall, England. It's known for its deep natural harbor harbor one of the largest in the world, which makes it a key spot okay for maritime activity. Oh, it's a key spot. The town's got a rich history tied to shipbuilding and maritime trade.

Speaker 1:

Hey, so that means our listeners from there could be shipbuilders. They could be working on a ship right now, like fucking working on the mast or something I imagine, like with one of those big fucking hammers, you know, doing the old school, like steel nails, like into the wooden hull, so they could fight the fucking Americans. You know, impressment, that was the War of 1812, you dummies you don't know anything. Anyway, keep going. War of 1812. Keep going.

Speaker 4:

And today it's a popular spot for tourists who want to soak up some seaside charm. I like seaside charm the town's got a bunch of stuff to see like Padenus Castle.

Speaker 1:

Padenus Castle. What is Padenus Castle?

Speaker 4:

It's the eighth built to defend against invasions. Oh, and the National Maritime Museum, cornwall, where you can learn all about the area's seafaring history. Oh, that's fun.

Speaker 1:

That's fun. What the fuck? Where'd you go, nikki, nikki, where are you, nikki? I don't know what happened to.

Speaker 4:

Whoa shit. With events like the Falmouth Week Regatta drawn in boat enthusiasts from all over, the vibe in Falmouth is laid back with a mix of traditional Cornish culture and a more modern artsy feel, thanks to the presence of Falmouth University. Oh Falmouth, the town's got a bunch of beaches nearby, like Gilling Vase Beach, which is great for a day out.

Speaker 1:

Well, hold on, shut up for a second gilling vase beach. Let me spell gilling vase for you, by the way. Okay, I'm gonna spell it. Think about this as I'm spelling. I want you to imagine this word being spelled.

Speaker 1:

If you're one of those people who has an internal monologue and, by the way, by the way, off topic, did you know that certain people don't have an internal monologue in their head? Have you ever heard this before? Because think about this. Whenever you're thinking okay, we're going off topic here, but stay with me, okay, whenever you're thinking, whenever you have thoughts are you like me? You actually think the words in your head. You're like saying those words out loud in your head. So if I think, man, I've got to. You know, I've got to stream tonight. I've got to edit this. I've got to get all my fart sounds on the right soundboard. I've got to. You know, I want to play Hunt Showdown. Get the battle pad. Like I think those words.

Speaker 1:

Those words actually come into my mind in sequential order, like telling myself sentences or like near, near complete sentences. And for some people, they have none of that. That shit does not even happen in their head. I don't know what goes on. But there are some people that say they have no internal monologue. I don't even get how thought happens, but if you're the type that does have an internal monologue and can picture things in your head, listen to this spelling internal monologue. And can picture things in your head, listen to this spelling Gilling Vase Beach, g-y-l-l-y, okay, g-y-l-l-y-n-g-v-a-s-e Gilling Vase I don't G-Y-L-L-Y, y, gilly, I guess. And then vase is N G V A S E, gilling vase beach, which, uh, here we go Keep going, and the surrounding area is full of beautiful coastal walks and nature spots.

Speaker 4:

So whether you're into history, boating or just want to chill by the sea with some fresh seafood, Falmouth's got a bit of everything.

Speaker 1:

Well, there you go. Falmouth's got some fun there. So I'm going to ask Nicky now. I'm going to say what's the worst thing? What is the worst thing about Falmouth? It's so funny because Nicky went on this like whenever I said curse in every sentence. Nikki went on this like whenever I said curse in every sentence, he went on a rant about the people in Falmouth. Like you wouldn't believe it was almost nasty. It was like fucking, like he had, like his parents had been killed in Falmouth or something. Okay, nikki, what's the worst thing about Falmouth? Let us know, please.

Speaker 4:

The worst thing about Falmouth? Yes, why please? The worst thing about?

Speaker 1:

Falmouth. Yes, why do you sound like you're gonna?

Speaker 4:

Easy. It's gotta be the tourist invasion every summer. Oh wow the place gets swamped with people, turning the quiet seaside town into a chaotic mess.

Speaker 1:

Really.

Speaker 4:

Why don't Streets get packed, parking becomes a nightmare and you can barely move without bumping into someone, bumping into a. Falmouthian. Locals probably get tired of seeing their favorite spots Overrun by out of towners?

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, I'm sure they do who?

Speaker 4:

don't know how to order fish and chips properly. How do you order? Fish and chips properly If you're not a fan of crowds, what that might be the thing that grinds your gears the most about Falmouth.

Speaker 1:

But how do you order fish and chips properly? Question mark oh God, well, hang on, here's what I'm going to do. Hey, here's what I'm going to do. How do you order fish and chips properly? Curse in every sentence order fish and chips properly. Curse in every sentence fish and chips properly. This is gonna be uh, curse in every sentence. Okay, I'm probably gonna get banned from this ai program. Oh, jesus christ, um, actually he doesn't. Actually he doesn't. Okay, all right, well, that's not that bad. I thought it was gonna get worse, but he did not. All right, here we go and let's. Nikki, are you? Are you working on your answer now? So how do you order fish and chips properly and in?

Speaker 4:

I have no fucking idea what that means. What is a chippy? In the uk, a store selling fish and chips? Who the fuck would have known?

Speaker 3:

Speaker 1:

So anyway, there we go. Don't be a slow poke at the chippy. Jesus Christ, falmouth, cornwall. Thank you for coming by. I appreciate everyone in Falmouth Cornwall. You are everything I could possibly want you to be and a little.

Speaker 1:

Oh, it stopped. See, it's not fun to talk that way. Whenever you, whenever the music stops, anyway, okay, so now, now we're ready for some news, if I can get the fucking news song, correct? No, where is my news song? How long does it take to get some fucking news here? Is this it? No, okay, that's, I can't find it. No, no, no, god, is this okay? This is good enough. Sure, I am going to explain this shit. Yeah, it's a fucking news. Okay, I'm not too big onto that one. Nah, that's not doing it for me. But anyway, we do have some news, and our news is the casting of Frank Stone, and so let me give you an update here on casting of Frank Stone.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so the demo came out a couple of days ago. I'm not sure what day it was released. I'm getting on Steam right now to see if I can see that. I started yesterday and I finished up today. It only took me 48 minutes to play the demo. So if you guys have about an hour, I don't know that I found everything. I kind of went at my own pace. I found a couple of small like Easter eggs or like collectibles, but nothing crazy. There was more to find, but I just didn into what it is and my thoughts on there. I'm going to warn you before we get into the big spoilers because I don't want you to get something spoiled. Anyway, the casting of Frank Stone is published by Behavior. It's not created by Behavior. It's published by Behavior and was created by Supermassive Games, and they're the ones who did Until Dawn and the Dark Pictures Anthology, which includes man of Medan, little Hope.

Speaker 1:

What's the fucking third one? The third one was the best one. I can't even think House of the fucking something. Let me see Dark Pictures Anthology. I'm going to have to look at it. How could I? It was the best one. It was called was that the Devil and Me? Or was that the fourth one? Hang on, let me see. Is there a new one out? Also? No, oh shit, there is a new one coming out called Directive 8020, which looks like it takes place in the future. Oh, the one I'm thinking about. The third one that's really good is called House of Ashes, and you do not have to play those games in order. Until Dawn is its own separate thing from the Dark Pictures anthology. It was like the first big one they came out with.

Speaker 1:

These are far smaller games, don't take nearly as long and they're really well paced. But to give you an idea, they're more like the old school adventure games in the sense that you make decisions that alter the path of the story and if a character dies in the game, the game keeps going, just without that character. But it does change the story because they're no longer there. So all of the scenes that involve them are different. So there was like a boyfriend girlfriend thing in the first one, because it's about in man of Medan. It's about they're of madan. It's about they're on a. Uh, they make their way to a ship. They're like going out for a scuba fucking thing, and it's like college kids and it's like a drunk and the nerd and you know it's a fucking, like one of those type of movies. They find a, an abandoned ship that's apparently haunted, okay, and so in my playthrough one of the characters died because I made a bad decision and the story went through.

Speaker 1:

My buddy plays the exact same game, his the. The character survived, but he had someone else die from a decision he made. And I made the exact opposite decision Turned out, the endings we got were totally different. The games went in entirely different directions. And he was like, hey, did you ever see X? I was like I never even knew the X existed. You know, I don't remember what it was, but it was because my story never went to like that part of the ship or whatever. So that's kind of the way these supermassive games works.

Speaker 1:

Now let's go back to casting a Frank Stone. Frank Stone is a game that set in the dead by daylight universe. So it actually takes place in the same universe where the entity has, you know, created this other realm and is pulling people in to basically suck all of the emotional energy and life. And I know I'm butchering the story of Dead by Daylight here, but that's the way I understand it, so that's what it is right. So this is in the same universe, so it's got a lot of the same feel and vibe of Dead by Daylight. But it is a super massive game where you you know what am I thinking when you make these decisions, where the storyline changes as well. So this is where the spoilers come in. So, spoiler alert, spoiler, spoiler. I don't know how to make it more obvious that there are spoilers coming, so anyway, so I'll go.

Speaker 1:

I did take some notes here and if you guys have played through the demo which, like I said, took me about 48 minutes to do If you played through the demo, you you may have seen some of this stuff. You may have not. I haven't looked into it enough to know if the decisions in the demo really even matter. Um, but the way it works it. It starts out in 1963 at this steel mill in Oregon and you play a police officer and I didn't forget his name. I didn't even write his name down because I didn't think that was really important. The story might be later, um, but the way it starts out is you got this creepy dude in a fucking in the steel mill, you have this baby crying and you've got this dog slash, monster slash thing making noise and blah, and then you see through the first person of the dog monster thing like running around, and before that you have an intro speech from a creepy woman talking about how she's going to change the planet, or something like that. So that's, that's a setup, okay. So anyway, uh, concerned about the baby, we want to know more about this baby and what's going on with this baby. Why is this baby in a steel mill and why is there a demon dog, uh, running around?

Speaker 1:

So the first scene you're, you're the cop, right and you're in the like the watch, the guard shack, with this old dude named Tom. Okay, this old, uh, he reminds me of my dad, his name is Tom and he's got nose hair coming out, which my dad had, um, and he's just kind of he's a. My dad wasn't a drunk, but you know this guy is a drunk. And so you question this guy and you can choose kind of the line of questioning you want to be more of an ass or do you want to be more kind of accommodating. And the thing is that one of the big things was is that you see the flask in his fucking desk with. So he's been drinking or he's currently drunk. I didn't question him on the drinking, but you could if you wanted to. And then there's a little scene at the end of the conversation where it like zooms in on Chekhov's flask and then he closes the, uh, the drawer there.

Speaker 1:

So you know Chekhov's gun. For those of you who actually know something, chekhov's gun is if they show a picture of a gun or they talk about a gun in a book, that gun is going to be used somehow or it's somehow important. Yes, exactly, so, um, we go out of the thing. Okay, so so we go out of the guard shack. Uh, the cop, what's his name? Officer fucking. Uh, officer, uh Brody, I guess I don't remember his name. Officer fucking. Officer Brody, I guess I don't remember his name. Officer Cornwall. Officer Falmouth, cornwall. Officer John T Falmouth, cornwall.

Speaker 1:

You take control of him and you're doing the walking, and so it's like you know LA Noire or any of these games. You're walking around, you got your little flashlight. It's creepy. You can find some little trinkets here and there, some little hidden things. It's it. It does a good job of setting up the atmosphere, because you're in this steel mill, there's weird sounds, there's the fucking monster dog. You can hear that thing kind of walking around and uh, so, anyway, uh, officer john t fal, falmouth, cornwall eventually makes it deeper into the steel mill. And old drunk Hooterville Cooter, john T Cooter. I don't know why they have the same first name and same middle initial. What was the guy's name? The old offensive coordinator for the Detroit line, jim Bob Cooter, that's his name.

Speaker 1:

Old Jim Bob Cooter is here with John T Falmouth, cornwall. And Jim Bob is a warning about the dog. The monster thing was a Doberman Pinscher, that was the thing, okay. So, anyway, you go deeper down into the, you go deeper into the steel mill and you find, uh, the dog and it's eating a blob of a mound of flesh and bones and you don't know what it is.

Speaker 1:

And I believe I was not paying attention at this particular part of the game and I wasn't looking at the subtitles. I always turn subtitles on. I was looking away from the screen for some reason, but it sounded like because because John T Falmouth, cornwall officer, john T Falmouth, cornwall, bends down because the dog, the Doberman pincher monster dog, runs away and Jim Bob Cooter's upset that the, the, the Doberman monster dog, ran away and wanted you to be able to meet the dog, to be on good terms with the Doberman Pinscher monster dog, but he's upset. So you bend down and you're like checking out this mass of flesh and bone and jim bob cooter says and what I think he said was what is that is that some wiener meat, as you're pulling an ear out of the blob of flesh and bone, he asks if it's wiener meat, and I'm not sure if I just heard that or if that was the actual line. I'm actually Frank Stone. Actually, I do not know how to Google this Frank Stone dialogue script meat. Maybe he says the um casting of frank stone. It doesn't say here. I wish you would have said it. Does he say wiener meat? I'm putting it in the steam uh forum.

Speaker 1:

Did the guy say wiener meat, or is it just me? It sounded like the drunken, uh, theunken. What was the guy's name? I can't remember his name. Fucking Tom. Oh, his name was Tom. It sounded like Tom used the phrase wiener meat to describe the pile of flesh and bone.

Speaker 1:

That officer uh, okay, it did. Did he say that or did I just hear that? Okay, uh, spoiler, it sounded like tom used the phrase wiener meat. Did he say that or did I just hear that? I don't, I don't know it. We're gonna. We're gonna see if this is answered here. Um, people are not answering very uh, uh, very quickly and I don't even see my question posted in here. Hang on, let me go back. I want to see where to go. I posted it. I posted the question. I want to know if he said wiener meat Well, I think maybe it's not letting me put wiener in it. Oh, jesus christ. Oh, it is the wiener meats in there. Oh, thank god, we've got the wiener meat in there. That's what she said. Okay, so, okay, where I? Okay, so so, officer, um, officer, john T fucking, I can't even remember the name. I said Falmouth, cornwall pulls an ear out of the fucking uh, flesh and bone broth. And so the Tom uh, formerly known as Jim Bob Cooter, asks is that?

Speaker 1:

the kid and you know it's a baby, right? I think the officer knew it was a baby. And so I, as the officer, said, no, that's not the baby, because that's a big ear, that's a teenager ear, I think is what he said. And so jim bob, uh, tom cooter says, oh god, now see, I'm starting to forget where, I'm starting to forget exactly what happened. So I'm starting to fill in the blanks myself, which is probably more entertaining than actually playing the game. So anyway, they find a grate that goes down into, like the underneath of the of the steel mill, okay, and there's like sounds coming from underneath. We don't know what those sounds are, but it sounds scary.

Speaker 1:

So officer John T Falmouth, cornwall, decides I'm going to go down in there into the scary part with zero backup and just a six shot like a revolver. And here's what I'm going to do I'm going to give the key to my squad car and the ear to Tom Cooter, okay. And so whenever I give it to Cooter, he's going to go call the cops and we're supposed to trust Cooter that he's actually gonna do it. And I, what in the hell is this crap? I have no idea why, officer fucking falmouth cornwall, we give cooter his keys to his cop car and then tell him to get on the radio, because he probably doesn't even know what frequency to get on. To let the cops know that I'm getting ready. I'm John T Falmouth, cornwall. I'm going to go into the underneath of this furnace and I'm going to find this baby that may or may not be eaten by a Doberman pincher monster dog. Okay, so that's what we're doing.

Speaker 1:

So they give you skill checks, just like they did in Dead by Daylight, right, you have to hit the space bar and there's like quick time events, right, and depending on whether you do them or you fail them, different things happen in the story, like in, I'm thinking, the House of Ashes that's why one of my characters died was I failed a quick time event and he got eaten by a monster. I think is what happened. So there's gotta be negatives If you fail some of these. What? What the fuck? My, my robot vacuum just responded to something I said. I don't even know what I said. Anyway, uh, let's go back.

Speaker 1:

So, so, jim Bob, uh, no, wait, I'm getting my people mixed up. John T Falmouth, cornwall. I, I grab a, uh, I grab a fucking crowbar and I, I open the fucking grate to the underneath part of the of the fucking steel mill. Okay, so we go down the ladder and of course the ladder fucking uh collapses. Before that I gave the key in the ear to Tom Cooter and told him to go call the cops and at that point a little pop-up came up that says my fate had been changed because I trusted Tom Cooter with my life or something. I trust him with the ear and the fucking uh, the ear and the keys to the car. Okay, so I'm taking notes as I'm writing. I got like a whole page of notes about this fucking 48 minutes of game.

Speaker 1:

Jim Bob Wiener Okay, I can cross that through. We already talked about that. Tom said Wiener meat Uh, I can cross that out. Tom and his Wiener meat Uh, we're done with his Wiener. And then Tom Cooter uh, the fate. Tom life ear. Uh, yeah, okay, we, we talked about that. We talked about the missing boy we talked about didn't question his drinking Okay, so his fate is in Tom's hands. I think is what it said. So that was one of the like the pathways. So I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't have given Tom Cooter the ear and the keys, but you know, that might be for somebody else to find out.

Speaker 1:

Anywho, we go down the ladder to the underneath part Like it looks like a sewer, but it's like the tunnels underneath the steel mill. Okay, so we go down there. The ladder breaks so we can't get up, right, that makes perfect fucking sense. It heightens tension. So, anyway, you're going through it's a maze, right, and you're seeing that there's like satanic rituals being performed down here and you're hearing the there's like satanic rituals being performed down here and you're hearing the sounds of fucking steel and Satan and things like that. And so eventually you're working your way to this big fucking furnace room that looks like it came straight out of the depths of hell. It's like this enormous fucking furnace that is summoning a beast of gargantuan proportions. And you are there and you will never survive this Cthulhuian horror.

Speaker 1:

That is a large furnace under an Oregon steel mill that is being guarded by Tom Cooter, who now is in possession of cop keys to a cop car and an ear of a teenage supposedly teenage boy, and for sure not a child ear. Okay, so now we have a choice. You see the furnace, okay. So we've got the big monster furnace, okay, and you see a ramp that goes up to the furnace, like one of those ramps, and it kind of zigzags back and forth going upwards to the furnace. Or you see a platform that kind of goes past all that and there's a ladder. Okay, so you've got the choice Do you go up the ramp or do you go up the ladder. But wait, there's more.

Speaker 1:

When you go up the ladder before that in like the wide angle shot when you come in the room, you see that there's a sinister looking person near the ladder. So the question is do you take the ladder, do you go near the sinister person that may or may not be Tom Cooter, or do you go up the ramp and risk Tom Cooter cooting you from afar? And that's the real question is, what do you do whenever you see a cooter and you go up the ramp or do you go up the ladder? And so I chose to go up the ladder. I'm going to approach cooter as quickly as possible, so I go up the ladder.

Speaker 1:

And it is not. It is most assuredly not Tom Cooter, or at least my detective Falmouth. Cornwall skills did not allow me to think that it was Tom Cooter, and I'm talking about me personally, not the officer John T Falmouth Cornwall in the game. I'm talking about me, toxic. The player did not think that that was Tom Cooter because the person was wearing the casting of Frank Stone helmet. Oh, oh wait. Why did I want to?

Speaker 2:

do that.

Speaker 1:

Oh, ladies, I didn't see you there Would you guys like to set sail on this ocean of flavor with me, I'll be your captain.

Speaker 1:

The fight ensues between the titular casting of Frank Stone mascot and Officer John T Falmouth Cornwall, with plenty of skill checks back and forth. And it shows you there are different types of skill checks back and forth. And it shows you there are different types of skill checks. There's like the one where you press space bar. There's another one where you have to like, aim your cursor fast enough to get it to do whatever. So a fight ensues, there's punching and kicking and the revolver gets knocked out of the hand of John T Falmouth Cornwall. And then I I hit a normal skill check when I probably should have hit a great skill check. And uh, the not Tom Cooter, frank Stone, uh, picks me up with his Herculean strength and impales me by the shoulder I'm saying me, but I'm, I'm saying it on behalf of John T Falmouth Cornwall impales me on a beam that is sticking out. So I have it going through my shoulder and I'm hanging there a la dead by daylight from a hook and the tom uh, no, not tom, supposedly not tom cooter frank stone goes towards the baby and I am faced with more skill checks. Or John T Falmouth Cornwall is faced with more skill checks and I pass those skill checks and I unimpale myself from the beam and fall to the ground on these like we're above the furnace. We're above the magma, the searing magma that is doing God knows what. Underneath there, by the way, in the middle of the catwalk, above the furnace, is a crib with a baby. I totally forgot that part. So the Frank Stone Tom Cooter hybrid monster beast is now going for the baby hybrid monster beast is now going for the baby.

Speaker 1:

And you are faced with more skill checks, as John T Falmouth, cornwall, and you are crawling across the ground to get to your revolver, which is a few feet away. So you hit the skill checks over and over and John Cooter or John Tom Cooter, not John Cooter, tom. Well, john Cooter could be related, but John Cooter could be related, but John T Falmouth, cornwall is African-American and Tom Cooter, frank Stone, is not African-American, at least he doesn't appear to be so. So you hit the skill checks, end up getting the gun or at least I do and get up and you start to shoot Tom Stone cooter. Face in the face. A cooter, but what, what? What in the hell is this crap? So you shoot him and you, you shoot him in the head and he falls over and he falls into the searing magma and becomes impaled through the mouth and he looks almost like the dredge. I don't know if that had, if that was a callback to the dredge, but he is impaled.

Speaker 1:

And then, um, then john t falmouth, cornwall, has a saying. He's like get beat. That, motherfucker, I think, is what he says. I think the last word is motherfucker. And he sees the woman from the very beginning talking about bringing in the new world and he passes out. And then it says your fate has changed because you shot frank stone and saved the baby. And that was the frank stone. That was a dramatic reenactment of the frank stone. Uh, demo prologue, you got some kick-ass shit.

Speaker 1:

Oh sexy girlfriend so that's all I've got. I need to make a song about this of some kind. Uh, give me a song about the frank. Hang on, can, can the ai, actually can you? Can you write me song lyrics about the casting of Frank Stone video game? Okay, oh wait, I'm actually doing it as Nikki. Oh, my God, this doesn't. These lyrics are terrible. Frank Stone that doesn't these lyrics. A gritty rock anthem, this is terrible. Okay, so that that was just, uh, yeah, okay, but a favorite frank stone game there's only one frank stone game.

Speaker 1:

Hey, so here's what I did. The AI, I had it. I asked it what is your favorite? Well, okay, so let me back up. So whenever you're chatting with the AI, it gives you AI suggestions as to what to ask the AI, and so it suggested what is your favorite Frank Stone game.

Speaker 4:

There is only one, frank Stone game.

Speaker 1:

So here's what it said. I don't understand.

Speaker 4:

Oh, you want to know which Frank Stone game takes the cake, huh Well, if I gotta pick, it's gotta be Frank Stone's Streets of Vengeance. That one's a freaking masterpiece it is. You got Frank taking on the whole damn city fighting corrupt cops, mob bosses and all sorts of scumbags. Storyline what Pure gold.

Speaker 1:

It is.

Speaker 4:

Frank's out for revenge and he ain't taking no prisoners. Is this a sequel? The gameplay's tight, with brutal combat and those sweet stealth takedowns Like how does it come out of this? Plus the soundtrack, it's like they ripped it straight out of an action flick from the 80s. So, yeah, what the fuck? Streets of Vengeance is where Frank Stone really shines. Ain't no better way to unleash your inner tough guy?

Speaker 1:

Is Frank Stone is Streets of Vengeance. Like the prequel to to the casting of Frank Stone. He fought crooked cops and now John T Falmouth Cornwall's coming for him, coming and get the child, get the baby. Somebody's going to save the baby, anyway. So that was casting of Frank Stone demo. I appreciate you sitting through that garbage that you just heard. Give me a hell, yeah, so anyway, that's all I've got really for that.

Speaker 1:

It is a super massive game. So if you played any of the super massive games, you're going to get more of that. It does excite me to see what this story is. Just because I enjoyed Dead by Daylight, I do want to know more about the story. I've never been big into the lore, although I may go read up on more of it now to get ready for Frank Stone. I may even stream some Frank Stone on Tuesday and Wednesday. See, tuesday, wednesday might be my two days to stream that this week, and then we'll also be streaming, probably Monday evening as well, which would be tomorrow evening. If you're getting this on Monday morning, then it would be that night.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, guys, you can find me Toxic Teacher TTV. You can also find me on YouTube, the Toxic Teacher. I'm on Insta. I'm on X. I'm not on X, although I'm on something. That's what?

Speaker 1:

Anyway, john T, on behalf of John T, falmouth, calhoun, regan, bottom what was his name? Falmouth, cornwall, and Tom Cooter, frank Stone, with our Doberman Pinscher hybrid child baby on top of a catwalk above a furnace with a woman who's going to alter the planet, and for some reason she's wearing a cloak. I don't know why, but Tom Cooter may or may not be working for and using my car keys and the ear that I found from a pile of wiener meat. It makes more sense than the way I describe it. So, just FYI, I would go play casting a Frank Stone demo. See what you think.
