Okay, Riley, what's the game you played the most over the past year?
Well, the past year? Yeah. I mean, I don't play games, like, for years at a time.
Rocket League is the one I, like, go back to most regularly, but I did just beat God of War on PC.
It was not that hard. I put it on, like, story mode,
and then I dropped into Elden Ring for, like, two hours, and I'm like, this is stupid. I'm not doing this.
Did you end up refunding? I refunded. You refunded it?
Like, it was so hard. I was just like, what is it, like, I didn't sign up to be punished by a game.
What did I do? That's what I'm saying. I didn't do anything.
I don't have time for this. Oh, man, Elden Ring in the last, like, two weeks,
but aside from that, probably Dota 2. Dota 2, hey, that's a classic.
I'm not good, but you know what? Nobody's ever really that good.
You know, honestly, I've been gaming that much the last two, maybe three years.
There hasn't been that many great games, but something I did waste a bunch of time on was Anno 1800.
Linus convinced me to play it after talking about it so much.
And I think the week I got COVID, I played it for like five days straight, like 14 hours a day,
like that high school summer off kind of vibes.
Two games, Red Dead Redemption 2. Finally started that halfway through.
I love it so far. I really love the physics of the testicles in the snow.
That's it.
Is that the reason why you got the most game time on that?
No, but it helped. You know what the working title for that game was?
What was it? Rootin', Tootin', Cowboy, Shootin'.
And the other game I've been playing a bunch.
I think I have like 100 hours into it now.
I've been playing Lost Ark and trying it out. It's a lot of fun.
It's very pay to win, but I'm enjoying it.
I'm enjoying it. None. Maybe the game I played the most this past year would be overcooked.
Oh, that's a fun one. I think so. I think so.
Cod, because obviously that got us all through it.
And then, plus I could play with all my friends back home.
Warzone or? Definitely Warzone all the way. And then haven't even touched the new map, didn't even load it up,
didn't even want to download it. And then after that, it was F1 2020, F1 21, and now 4-5.
Horizon 5. Horizon 5. Yeah.
Nice. It is easily Valheim. I put over 200 hours in it.
The first 100 just building an awesome base.
And then because there were some bugs, we lost all of our progress.
And then another 200 hours doing it again. Was this all the same squad?
Yeah, basically the people that I'm friends with from back home,
we would just play a whole bunch of Valheim very late into the evening.
Well, not too late for me because of the time change. But you know, also I have been playing Elden Ring
because unlike some other people here, I am not a coward.
I just wanted to say that. It's a very good game. And Forza Horizon 5 is definitely the second most played.
Oh yeah. It's so awesome. I really like just going in, making a really high quality tune,
something that's meta-approved, a big old Drifty Drift.
JDM fan? Oh yeah, JDM's awesome. I would like one if there was a cool JDM car here.
The Yaris. Not the Yaris. The Corolla?
The Corolla's coming soon. TR Corolla? Oh yeah.
Probably Rocket League. How many hours you got on that? Oh, I'd have to check.
I think it's in the thousands though. Is this a game you played for a while?
Yeah, but I've played it since launch, basically. Oh wow.
Back when it was on PS Plus. Yeah. And then I got PC version.
What's your best rank? I was champ one last season, but I just did placements
and I got Diamond 3 again. Oh wow. Rough times.
It's still good. Yeah. Definitely Overwatch.
Overwatch. I'm a sucker for that game, even though it sucks.
Have you been playing since launch? No, like a year after.
What's your top rank?
Bad. It's all good.
It's a bad game, right? I think I hit gold at some point.
Oh, there you go. I just don't play comp anymore.
Probably Civ 6. Civ 6. Oh yeah.
Alright, Surge, what's the game you played the most over the past year? Oh hell, probably Warframe.
Oh yeah. Well, the recent being, if you've seen it, it's about Ninjas in space,
and also they just released a story expansion last month,
so I've just been catching up to try to get to that expansion
so I actually can see what the hype is all about. Almost there?
Yeah, almost there. I think I just have to do one or two more missions
and then it'll be just, you know, see what the new war is
what the expansion is called, what that's about. So it's actually looking to be interesting.
Elden Ring? Elden Ring. 69 hours and 59 minutes.
Probably a tie up between either Elden Ring or Halo Infinite.
Yeah, I'm one of those gamers that kind of goes through campaigns really quickly
and like, you know, I finish it, go on to the next. I really like story stuff.
So Elden Ring, I was able to get about 55 hours out of
which is pretty above the norm for me. And then Halo Infinite has been my game that I just dive into,
play a few games here there and have a good time. The most time?
Elden Ring. I'm over 70 hours.
I haven't talked to my family in weeks
and I still haven't beaten the game. So it's out for a month and the business team already has like a combined 200-something hours.
Yeah, it's like such a good game but I just can't stop playing it
and it's, it's, it's, it's terrible.
I don't know why I stuttered so much there. I can't stop playing Elden Ring and I want it to stop but it's such a good game.
You've completed it already, right? No, I'm still playing through the game.
I'm burning out real quick. Are you, are you close though?
I'm close. I'm getting close I think. I need to beat it, yeah.
In a full year, we'd probably be Total War Warhammer series.
I think I have like maybe about 100 hours in the whole year.
Second place is Elden Ring.
Of course. 20, only 20 hours though.
Only 20 hours. Those are rookie numbers. You gotta get those up.
No man, I got a life. I don't ignore my family unlike some people.
You're a liar. You're a liar. I did not, no I haven't played Tarkov this year in one calendar year.
The year before 2020, I think we all have like $400.
Turkey, Turkey Tarkov.
