Alright, you lot!

I’m gonna give you more time this week to get those questions in for this week’s Hey Scotty…

Whatever the question, even the weird ones, whatever’s rocking around in that noggin, drop it in the comments and I’ll make sure to feature it…

⚠️ Warning: If you go Twonk mode, you may be ignored… 😎 

Wow, 1,400 of you absolute legends have decided to hit that follow button. I’m not crying, you’re crying (okay, maybe I’m crying, but it’s allergies… to success). Honestly, there aren’t enough words in the dictionary, or enough time in the day, to properly express just how much I appreciate every single one of you. So let’s just keep it simple: THANK YOU.

You’ve been riding along for the rants (and oh, there’s more where those came from), and I’ve got some fresh new content in the pipeline to shake things up and keep it interesting. No spoilers yet, but think of it as me expanding the chaos with a twist. Keep an eye out, because it’s coming soon, like a plot twist in a show you didn’t even realise you were obsessed with.

Also, if you’re into that kind of thing, memberships are now available. It’s a chance to get even more of the good stuff, plus you’ll help fuel my caffeine addiction while I cook up the content you deserve. No pressure, though, this is a no-guilt zone unless you deserve it.

Again, thank you. Truly. Here’s to the next milestone and more laughs, rants, and whatever madness we stumble upon along the way. Let’s make it unforgettable. 

Alright, you lot!

It's coming up on that time of the week again... Do you have a question you need answering? Need a little help on that quiz? Or is it just something you've always wondered but never bothered to find the answer?

Drop them in the comments for this week's Hey Scotty... I enjoy making these episodes, and it's your chance to get featured on the channel, without being called TWONK! 

So, get them in before I record the video (Saturday evening)... Any that come after, I'll add to the list for next week... 😎 

Alright, you lot!

I’ve enjoyed answering your weird and wonderful questions on Hey Scotty, I wanna do more…

So, let’s get them down below… Any question you have rolling around in that noggin, no matter what… Well, within reason… 😎 

Alright, you lot!

Guess who’s back? Yeah, that’s right,me… I’ve been out of the game for a few days, patching myself up like a half-broken NPC waiting for a medkit... Don’t worry, it wasn’t anything dramatic, no life-or-death boss fights here… Turns out, I’m going to live (much to the disappointment of anyone who thought I’d finally shut up)…

Good news: I’m feeling relatively normal again... Or, at least as normal as I ever get, which isn’t exactly textbook healthy, but hey, it works... And now that I’m upright and functional, the rant factory is officially open for business…

To everyone who sent well wishes and kind words while I was down for the count: thank you... Seriously, you lot are the reason I keep this madness going… Your messages were like those rare power-ups in a game, unexpected and ridiculously appreciated…

Now, strap in, because I’ve got plenty to say, plenty to moan about, and plenty of fun to dish out... It’s good to be back… Let’s make some chaos together… 

Alright, you lot! 

I may be missing in action, but, here’s a little something to tide you over while I’m out of the game... These are my notes I’d use to record… Consider it a behind the scenes peek… 😎

Today, we’re diving into the latest XDefiant Year 1 Season 2.4 Patch Notes, and let me tell you, it’s got some absolute belters in there! From factions to game modes, they’ve patched up everything from ghost guns to sneaky high-ground hops. And yes, they’ve even done some tweaks to that good ol’ netcode.

But, before we get started, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and all that bollocks, it helps the channel grow! 

You know the drill. Let’s jump into this.

Just imagine the intro here…

Alright, let’s start with Factions: 

Highwaymen, you cheeky devils, firing one round from that M79 grenade launcher and hopping factions was a surefire way to dodge reloads, wasn’t it? Well, not anymore. Ubisoft’s on to your little reload-skip dance.

And Phantoms, you’re in the spotlight too. They’ve patched that “invincibility” Aegis bubble that wasn’t so invincible, apparently, you lot were being blasted by anything from a Saw Launcher to an M79. So, if you’re within that shield, know you’re covered… theoretically. No more dying to some missed shots.

Next, we’ve got the Maps:

Over in the Air & Space map, smoke grenades were like looking through a bloody fishbowl, thanks to some sneaky glass railings. Not anymore, now when you lob a smoke, you won’t have opponents peering straight through. And in Arena, if you thought you could jump off a Highwaymen Scrap Turret for some cheap high ground, think again. You’re back in-bounds now, like everyone else.

Now, we’re on Game Modes:

In Bomb! mode, spectators no longer stare into the abyss when teammates change factions mid-game. Always good not to be left wondering if there’s life beyond the map. And in CTF, some geniuses found a shortcut for capturing flags by taking them to the upper platform on Showtime. Nice try, lads, but you’re hoofing it back to base like the rest of us now.

Let’s talk Weapons:

Ah, the classic invisible weapon glitch. If you’ve ever had a moment where you’re left holding air after cancelling a grenade or proximity mine, that should be sorted now. And for those of you who love spectating, no more of those jittery gun views. Solid and steady as it should be.

As for Devices: 

First off, smoke grenades got a bit of a buff with a tighter radius, think of it as a tad more claustrophobic cover.
Now the EMP Grenade, did we know this was a mini nuclear bomb in disguise? Players above level 300 were chucking these and crashing entire matches. Ubisoft has reeled that power back to its intended pulse, so no more lobby wipes.

Everyone’s favourite subject, Netcode:

In the last update, the kill-trade window was a big topic, whether you’d trade kills with snipers or shotguns was up in the air. Now, that window’s been fine-tuned. If you’re rocking high-damage weapons like a marksman rifle, the trade window is a touch longer. And for those using lower-damage weapons, that window’s getting trimmed. Should be fewer moments where you’re getting shot through your own kill marker.

Now then, Audio:

Nothing worse than a Spiderbot’s explosion getting cut off, right? Now, you’ll get the full boom, and it won’t echo across the entire map. And, to the sneaky sods trying to walk right up behind players, audio has been tuned, so footsteps fade in and out correctly depending on your distance. Friendly footsteps won’t give you a heart attack either, only audible up close.

A bit of Miscellaneous:

And finally, to anyone who managed to snag the new Pyroclastic skin early by skimping on weapon unlocks, consider that little backdoor trick patched. You’ve got to unlock all 23 weapons if you want to look volcanic out there.

So, there you have it, folks, a swift look at the Y1S2.4 patch. Smash that like button, hit subscribe, and leave your comments and questions below. I might just feature them on the channel. And I’ll see you next time, you magnificent… 

Alright, you lot!

So, here I am, living the dream with the NHS… You know, the grand old game of “who wants to guess what’s actually wrong with me?” One minute I’m here, the next I’m there, getting passed around like the world’s least enjoyable game of medical pass-the-parcel… But hey, let’s not dwell on the mystery tour, I’m still here, still kicking, and still as stubborn as a mule with a hangover…

Gotta say, though, all your love and well wishes on my last post? Means the world… No, really. Knowing you lot have my back is the kind of boost even the best prescription can’t buy… I’m laser-focused on getting back to normal… or at least my version of it… Feels like trying to move a mountain right now, but you know me, I’m not giving up that easily... If you think a few medical mysteries are enough to stop me, you don’t know the half of it…

So, keep those vibes coming, stay tuned, and don’t worry, I’ll be back causing havoc soon enough… 😎 

Alright, you lot!

So, yeah, you might’ve noticed I was a bit “off” in today’s video, shocking, I know, as I’m usually the picture of bloody vitality… Truth is, I’ve been taking some liberties with this thing called “self-care,” and now the old body has decided to exact its revenge… 😖

Long story short, I’ve earned myself a mini-break, courtesy of the NHS... Nothing to get in a tizzy over, but it does mean no videos for the next three days, give or take… Don’t go losing the plot on me, I’ll be back in action soon enough, better and hopefully a bit wiser… 🤷‍♂️

In the meantime, I’ll keep popping up on here to drop some little rants, updates, or the occasional literary masterpiece if I can manage to type between whatever the nurses throw at me... I already feel like a human pin cushion, and there’s one nurse feels more like a butcher… The other one, though… Think Barbara Windsor in Carry on Doctor… 😏🥵

I’m still kicking around, causing as much trouble as they’ll allow... And giving them a good laugh… I’ll use the time to get some scripts together, so be ready for some quality content… 😎 

Alright, you lot!

Let’s have it, those burning questions you must simply find the answer to… Drop them in the comments here for the next episode… 😎 

Alright, you lot!

Have you ever seen the movie Idiocracy?

Yeah, I have a video coming up this week, mentioning this one… The movie is so ludicrously stupid, it’s funny, and yet entirely accurate of the modern age… Forget waiting 500 years… 

Watch out for that one… It’s almost heartbreaking, yet also hilarious that it has to be said… 🤷‍♂️
