G'day friends, it's Blisterguy and for Thursday the 3rd of October this is episode 1367 A Walk to Work a Mobile Hearthstone podcast. And today we look at our reveals from a different point of view. And you might be like, uh, Blister haven't we talked enough about your previous reveals recently? And I'm like, yeah, kind of, but sometimes when life gives you lemons you make lemonade. And today it's the school holidays and apparently someone at Mongoose's school booked her into a holiday program thing at my work. And so walking to work with me today is Mongoose, good morning Mongoose. Hello. And so I thought... Hello father. Yes, good-oh, hello. And I thought even though we have me and the listeners have talked about previous reveals recently and what I enjoyed about them, what I didn't. We haven't talked to you about it and I thought, you know what, what better time than now to give you the opportunity to be frank and honest about your experience making reveal videos with me. What do you think? Okay. Do you remember the first one we did? Although if you're standing that far away, they won't hear you. Do you remember the first reveal we did? We did the one where we were running in the hill and I was screaming. You were being a Merlock? Yes. Yep. Yep. And you also actually had a pretty funny line at the start that I almost forgot where you were pointing at the Harvard Bridge. So you looked at it, it's the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Do you remember that? Oh, yeah. This was, I believe your sister was either not yet born or had just been born when we recorded that, so it was a long time ago. So of all the reveals we've done, which one do you think might have been your favourite? Well, the first one that I searched up our name, it comes up with the one where I had the pink wing. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Festival of Legends one where we did the song, the Warrior Riffs. Yeah, it barely ever happened. So, so when you search for our name, that's what comes up and therefore that's the one you like the most. No, no, no. No, no, no. That is not the one that I liked the most. Let's talk about that one for a moment because that was one where I felt very uncomfortable because I was actually singing and I don't, as you know, like singing in public. What did you think of that experience of us actually kind of trying to do like a song thing and then like performing with wigs on and stuff? A bit embarrassed, but also very happy that you have got me a pink wig. True, yeah, okay, fair enough. A bit embarrassed. I mean, does anyone you know, has anyone you that you know seen it, the video? Hopefully not. Do you think there's ever a likelihood that anyone you know is going to see it? I hope not. Oh, no. Alright, so anyway, what's your favourite one of all the ones we've done? Like, and I know, and I know, because like if you... Maybe the one where Olga was dead and I got to like run down. So that wasn't a reveal video. That was just a fun video we made for fun. Oh, yeah. But it was a cool video. Maybe also just a zombie one. Yeah, the zombie one was the second one. Oh, my friendly neighborhood daughter zombie thing. That's right, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right, I don't remember that. The Olga one was also one of my favourite videos that we made as well. This was like a little bloopers that happened in the zombie video. We were trying to film the scene where Father Dearest was running towards the camera so that we could talk about stuff. But we accidentally put it on slow-mo. So he started running and he was like... That's right, it was like... And when you record slow-mo on the phone, it starts normal and then skips to slow-mo for absolutely ages, obviously. Yeah, and we looked at it. And then skips back to it. And we were watching it, okay, this looks good, is this good? And so you start watching it and you're like, okay, it's looking good. And then it goes to slow-mo and we're both like, oh no. Because we thought we did a really good take. I think it was a good take. And I think if I read it correctly, I think we used it actually because I think I figured out afterwards that you could turn it off slow-mo. You could take it off-slow. Because effectively the camera is still doing the same thing, right? It like films the footage. It's not like it's taking many more frames a second than usual. It just slows them down when presenting it to you. So I think I figured out how to turn it off. But I remember at the time, yeah, we were like... We were like, oh no. Because at that point, we had been recording for a while and Mum was there with Gert as a baby in a pram. And she was like, come on, this is taking too long. Talking about, she was meaning you would get frustrated and sick of it and, you know, storm off or something. I was like, no, no. I'm not storming off into wherever. Yeah. Until like the woods could be eaten by the wolves and the foxes and the bears. As you said, there are no bears. The 12 headed bears. The 12 headed bears. There's no 12 headed bears or wolves. But there are foxes. Oh no. Oh, so they wouldn't eat you. They'd run away. Wow. So you enjoyed the zombie one the best? Yes. I did think that was pretty fun. Like the first one we kind of just threw together with nothing. And the second one was when we made props and you got the zombie makeup. No. No. You technically had lions even though it wasn't very fancy. So of all of our reveals, what is your least favourite experience having filmed them? Hmm. Hmm. Fondering. Hmm. Oh, that's really nice. Look, you mean overall it's been positive and you've enjoyed doing them? Yes. Yeah, I think so too. Apart from getting like, apart from getting very tired. They can't be tiring. Especially because we're trying to get as much done as quickly as possible. My umbrella. Yeah, so one's clearly dropped an umbrella. What about the last one we did on the beach and it was actually incredibly cold? That was, that was. It was meant to be like summer vibes but it was like... Right. Nine degrees. Beach tropical. Beach tropical expansion and we're standing on a beach and it's freezing because it's the middle of winter here. Uh. That was, that was something else. And I'm like, I'm really sorry. I didn't think it would be this cold. This sand felt like not sand. Sand was damp and like, oh. It was damp and wet and cold. But still we managed to pull through and we got something that was actually pretty funny. Yeah. I'm glad I didn't touch the water though. And I still refer to the video actually. Like, every now and again I'll take screenshots from it and post them because people will say things like... Okay. What's that? I'm excited if you hear a banging noise. I usually tell them that too. Thank you. Gosh, they've really dug it out, haven't they? Right. Well. Um. What was it? I don't know. I'm trying to remember. Oh, it announced darkness. So, announced darkness is not a very good card, right? But it was one of our reveals. But every now and again, Yog-Saron plays random spells and sometimes it'll play announced darkness. And people are like, oh no. I've been screwed because announced darkness happened from Yog. And so, I've got a screenshot that I use which is just me going to you. You don't need to announce darkness. It just happens. So, it's just a screenshot of me going, it just happens. So, like every now and again, I'll get memes from the video and share it in chat. And thanks for being like, of course. You don't need to announce darkness. It just happens. It just happens. That's right. But do you know? I don't know. How do we know that there's not just a giant snail that is... And it shell is the moon and it needs to announce the darkness to tell the snail to come and show its moonlight. That's a new take. Did you know that we have two moons at the moment? A large enough asteroid has fallen into orbit with the Earth going the opposite direction of our usual moon. It's not as big as the moon, but it's pretty big. And it's going to rotate the Earth for the next couple of months before slingshotting back out into space. So, currently, we have two moons right now. I don't know if it's visible. I wonder if... We must call it Jerry. Jerry? Jerry the moon. New moon Jerry. Alright. Jerry the moon has come into orbit. Okay. We cross here, by the way. And we clearly wait for trucks first. That's what we call a question. Waiting for trucks is clearly a good idea. That's what we call a waste frost. So, generally, you've enjoyed doing reveals is what you're saying. Yes. Now, I worry that there's going to come a day where one day you say to me, eh, I don't feel like doing it anymore. That's what you'll be old and disgusting and wrinkly. I'm old and disgusting and wrinkly now. Yeah, but you'd be even more old and disgusting and wrinkly. Is that right? Yeah. And you'll think that'll be a reason you don't want to do the videos anymore, not because you'll be like, I don't know, 15 and be like, "Oh, what have I had?" I'm just not into that. No. I must become into the arts. Also, this will be on my resume when I go into, like, Harvard acting school version. I don't think Harvard does acting. Maybe you think you have Juilliard. So, like, a New York acting school college thing. Cool. But also, you're in Australia. You wouldn't be going to an American one, probably. But they're like... This is going to be on my resume for acting school, though. Fair enough. So, you are enjoying that and you also understand that you think this is a positive experience moving forward for acting and stuff like that. Oh, yes. I'll be like... You're probably right. The people hiring me will be like, "So, you want to enter then?" I'll be like, "Yeah, but it's not my name." And I'll be like, "What are we so jumping?" I'll be like, "Please don't." And I'll be like, "What are we so jumping on?" I'll be like, "Please don't." And they'll be like... And I'll be like, "Bless the guy at Montgomery's and then they'll search it up and they'll see me in the pink wig going like that." Well, I think the reason "Bless the guy at Montgomery's" takes you to the pink wig is I think that's probably the first time I actually wrote down the words "Mongers" related to one of our reveals. But ideally, if you're applying for an acting school, we would create... What do they call it? They call it a "real"? You're real or something? And it would just be a compilation of you in videos and things. Yeah, and look, honestly, if you're trying to get into an acting school after high school, right, so when you're 17 or 18, they probably aren't terribly interested in seeing footage of you when you were 7 running down a hill holding a pink bear pretending to be a mill. But there is like some merit in having it there because it just goes to say, "Hey, I've wanted to do this for a very long time and I've been working at it for a very long time." I've been running down a hill and as you can see, my vocal cords are very loud. That's pinky, he's my manager. Pinky to Bear, who's been with you since you were very little. The specialist bear in the whole world. Anyway, yes. No, you're right. Okay, okay, well that's cool. He's at least got skippity-ris, unlike you. Oh, there it is. Ha ha! She promised me before we started that she would start doing skippity-risllingo at some point. Look at the Hasbro Bear packet on the floor. I'm going to say there's any gummy bears left in there. Haribo. Hasbro is the company that earns magic togethering. Yep. And makes monopoly. So it's Haribo. Haribo? The gummy things? Yeah, well, well. I'm just calling them gummy bears because there's literally no other gummy bear brands. Look at this dog. It's a bit stubborn. I'm going to go anywhere. Oh, her name was Lulu. I said this is something that doesn't happen. I mean, I guess it does actually happen sometimes when we're recording the podcast. As I fawn over people's dogs, but not very loudly often. But when Mongo's and I are walking to school, actually, usually on Thursday mornings we're walking to school, aren't we? I am. We do fawn over people's dogs a lot. That dog, she was a bulldog. Her name was Lulu. You are. Clearly a good dog. Your dogs are 1 million out of 10. So we're almost at the park, which is where we start recording gameplay of Hearthstone. So reveal videos. Is there anything else you would like to say about the reveals and your experience doing them? Do you look forward to them when they come around? Sort it, but I also go like, ugh, I don't want to work. But do you like the end result? Yes. Yeah. I do feel like sometimes it feels like I'd work, but then the end result is pretty cool. Once my, one of my friends was like, "Mongus, are you onto the internet?" And I was like, "Don't search it up." And, and I was like, "Mmm, yes." And they were like, "What do I search up?" And I was like, "What's the guy in Mongo's?" And then it came up with me and thinking, "And they were like, "What is this?" "What is this, Mongo's?" They weren't calling you "Mongus" though, thankfully. Yeah. I would love to have the name "Mongus." But they were like, "They didn't believe you that you were on the internet." And then they saw it and they were like, "Holly Molly, she was not kidding that she's on the internet." What? They were probably like, "Okay, I'm not rabbit-holing down there." They were probably more like, "Oh, hi-o, Sigma." Ugh. You just moan. No, no, no, no, no. So, anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed doing them. I'm sorry there's so much hard work. Hopefully we get to keep doing them. Hard work makes good things happen except for being on the internet with a pink wig. And you just being in the background with the guitar. Do you not think that you being on the internet with a pink wig is making good things happen? No. People are always so tough and they're like, "What is this?" Well, I mean, I think what happens when somebody searches that up, like some of your peers, when they search that up and they see you, what they go is, "Oh, wow, there's a side down." We just didn't know about it. Oh, no, I did the thing. It's the dark side of it. We both did the thing. We have to bleep it out, both of us. How dare you? I missed it out, but you just fell into it and did it yourself. What? Oh, that's right. I'll put bleeps in later. How dare you say it right now? Oh, no, it's just the worst. Like, here I am reminding you constantly for years not to say your name and I did it. Oh, anyway. Let's get into Hearthstone and play some Hearthstone. Okay. Which is not something you really do very much. Exercise equipment. Oh, we should think of Patreon. I keep forgetting to thank one of the patrons. What's a patron? Patron. The patrons are the ones who actually, remember how you said, "Do you actually make money doing this?" and I said, "I do get some money." It's from Patreon. Oh, yeah. And so I thank one of the patrons each episode. I haven't done one yet. So if anyone wants to support patreon.com/plistagai if you can afford a sport. It goes a long way to help us do what we do. Okay. Which is we as both of us. I'm gonna just write that down donate $1 million to us. You don't have $1 million to donate. And if you did, it would be my money in the first place. Oh, what? One would take a cut of it. And so effectively you'd be taking $1 million of hours, which we don't have, by the way. And then taking a slice off and giving it to Patreon for no reason. Oh. Patreon.com/plistagai if you can afford a sport. Not you. Everyone else. Otherwise, just tell a friendly review. It all helps. But today we are thanking Madraslover. Thank you to Madraslover and all the other patrons. Now, where are we? We're gonna play a game of Hearthstone, which means... I can turn the volume up, I can unmute the phone. If you don't use a cue card, I'm going to be incredibly disappointed. A cue card? A cue card. A cue card. Yeah. Like that little thing. We are technically using cue cards today. Good. But only because people refer to cue cards as cards that cause zero mana. And we're using ancient totem, which is zero mana. Is it cute though? No. Oh my god, turn it down. We're in public. Look at this. Yeah, I mean, yes we are. But usually that's how we had the sound on. So this is the first time you've ever walked to my work, right? Usually, when you're with me on a walk, we go around our neighbourhood and back home. Yeah. So you've reached the fun part, which is uphill. Ugh. I should not have worn long sleeves today. You can roll them up and like. I still don't like that warm yet. Well, it's all mine. Car car. Yes, they're on loads of bikes and cars. No, we're not one of their number plates. No, that's not a good idea. No. I mean, number plates are basically effectively random letters and numbers. But they do have a pattern to them. But more importantly... ...and track them. Well, not really very easily. But they are used as unique identifiers. And there's no real reason to give out someone's unique identifier on these. Even though they are driving around with them in public, there's nothing to be gained from. Unless you see a funny number plate, then I guess that's worth it. Like the one where it was just like random numbers. They're all the slight random numbers. Yeah, except the custom number plate. Oh yeah, custom number plate where it's not random. Anyway, the deck we're going to play today is a hunter deck. The other thing was to remember the number plate. I saw it was literally nothing custom. It was just like, one nine oh three. Oh, it was just like a short one with just numbers. Yeah. Yeah, that was odd. And then we saw like three of them in a row. Three different number plates that were like just two letters on the same trip to school. We're like, "What is going on?" They didn't seem to be related to each other. They weren't trailing each other or anything. Like they were going in opposite directions. Anyway, we're playing a hunter deck today. It is quite low curve and aggressive. Hence, it has cute cards. It's from my plan called Very Height. And they posted it as if to say, "This looks like a meme deck, but it's actually pretty funny because it has cryopractor in it, which is a card known sort of a plate." Because you'd play lots of cheap things. You buff them with cryopractor and suddenly your opponent's like, "I'm in a lot of trouble." So we're going to try that today for fun. Oh, and I didn't talk about this because last episode I talked about how I had trepidation about the idea of getting an 11 times multiplier in standard and wild. I did get an 11 times multiplier in standard and wild. And apparently very comfortably. I saw people talking about getting an 11 times multiplier as low as like 3,000 legend. And I was well under the 2,000 mark. Alright, here we go. Let's queue up this hunter. I believe the player is very hyped at playing it. They've also posted another version since then which is more refined and there's less of the cool cards. But we're playing the cool cards version because that says it more fun. Why? Is your name listed on this? Yes. What do you mean? What if like, can the opponent see your name? Yes. What if one of your fans is like playing against you and is like, "Ahh!" It happens. And what usually happens if a fan plays as they send me a friend request afterwards and they're like, "Oh my god, are you actually listed guy?" I'm like, "Yes." Or they already know who I am from the podcast and stuff. And they're like, "Oh, I can't believe I queued into you." Which is cool. So that's fun. I do like it when it happens. Anyway, let's queue up this thing. We're at Gold Five already because it's out of the month, I've played lots. I think the pink is already part of the sign. Anyway, it's half worn off. But it does look like someone's put a sticker on it. Oh yeah, according to one of my friends. Apparently Australia is the only country where they're crossing light beeps. No, I don't think so. Tell us in the comments if there are comments. I mean, there are definitely places where people can leave comments. When you say beep, you mean beep when you're crossing? Yeah. Oh, no, definitely other countries today. It's not the same sound, but they do it. Like in Japan, in Japan it makes it beep, beep, beep, beep. It kind of sounds like a bird. Anyway, we have an opening hand that has Zilliex deluxe 3000. It could be different made of bird sounds. Yes. There have been people who said I want to know what that bird is and it turned out it was the crosswalk thing. Anyway, we're going to throw away the Zilliex, even though it's the one that buffs minions because it's expensive. We have an RC Rampage and we have the coin, which is not bad. We have a bunch of bananas and we have an observable mess. But if we get rid of the Zilliex, the RC Rampage is in the observer and misses slow. So let's get rid of the bananas. I think we can maybe afford to keep the RC Rampage. At the very least, if we get a one-drop, then we can go observer of myths on two and coin Rampage on three. Now, our opponent is a druid. We got back a miracle salesman, so we're in a good spot. I did not understand any of the words you're saying. That's all right. Let's play this miracle salesman. See, he's like a little snake with a top hat. Nice. How's he a miracle salesman? Well, that's a good question. I'm going to play the miracle salesman's last turn. Let's cross here. And we'll talk about that. What Jesus did. Ah, yes, technically. Okay, so a miracle salesman is a one-man or two-two, which is a good deal. Well, when it dies, it gives you a tradable snake oil. And a snake oil is a spell that does no damage, because historically, there used to be people who would sell things that were snake oil. Like, oh, oh my gosh, it's a miracle cure for stuff, and it would just do nothing. But that's right. Anyway, turn two. We're drawing ancient totem. It's pretty good. We're going to play observer of myths. We're going to play ancient totem, which does nothing. Let's just hear the poem saying, no, one's going to below this. That's right. And then we're going to attack with a miracle salesman. The druid looks like they're hero-paired last turn. They've got three mountains turn, whether they play New Horizons or Split Specialist, which we should see. New Horizons is a portal. Oh, forgotten Tortolan, or Tortolan Traveler. That's what it's called. New Horizons is an animal franchise game. Animal cropping. Right. Yes. All right, so they played a one-five taunt that when it dies, is going to draw them a taunt to make it too cheaper. We have a miracle salesman and observer of myths. We also have awakening tremors. So we could coin RC Rampage this turn. It would give us four, three, threes, I think. And I think that triggers the observer of myths. Because if it does, it means we get to bash through this Tortolan Traveler. We also have a patchwork pals, so we could just coin Leoc. And that would give us a lot of attack in play as well. But we've got to play an observer of myths, coin awakening tremors. And I think that would work as well. So, awakening tremors. Observer of myths. Coin. Another jaw-monger thing. Great. A lot of things lit up now. We've got observer of myths as three attack. Ancient totem has two attack. Thanks for living. Two ancient myths to play. And miracle salesman has to attack before. Putting our druid opponent down to 25. Now they have four mana this turn. They have a taunt that costs two less than hand, which is probably ziliax, I'm guessing. But we have a lot of attack in play. We've got a couple of three attack observer of myths, one of which is taking one damage. We've got a two attack ancient totem, which is also taking one damage. We've got a five-one bursting jaw-monger. There's a trail mix. So they're really trying to ramp into that ziliax. And then they're hero-powering it into the awakened jaw-monger, the bursting jaw-monger. So that puts them to 21. How much damage can we do this turn? All right. We'll draw in a mantle shaper that we can't play. I think we can play patchwork pals and one minion. If we play Lyok, it doesn't buff anything. If we play huffer, it will probably buff everything at least once. And we'll get to go face for a lot of damage. It may not be all of the damage, and they'll probably get to play ziliax next turn. So I'm not entirely sure that that's a play that works. If we just play RC rampage, I think we get three, four, fours. And that'll probably just buff the observer of myths and the ancient totem. I think if that works, let's just do it anyway. That way if it's this, come down, we've got a lot of stuff to take back with. RC rampage, they're four, fours. The observer of myths don't trigger, never mind. All right. Face for four, seven, nine, twelve. Push them down to eleven. I so nine, sorry. So even if they play a ziliax, this turn and attack for four, healing for four. And we have to attack into it twice more. It's the heal for a total of twelve. There's still only got a 21, and we still have a fair amount of damage in hand. We're going up here. How are you doing on the walk-up hill? It is a bit, isn't it? Have you got your apple card ready? Yeah. Oh, they're playing that kind of ziliax. So it's a twin perfect ziliax that attacks into two minions, healed them for a lot. They took out both observer of myths, which makes it hard for us to buff attack outside of Lyok, so we've definitely got to do Lyok. And then we have to trade two minions into those ziliaxes, so it'll heal them to full, but we still have a bunch of stuff in play. They only have five mana crystals this turn thanks to the total and traveler, reducing it by two and the trail mix, buffing them two. Patchwork powers, Lyok. The cabbage with this turn is the observer, which is nice. We're going to have one mana left over, so I think we could trade the miracle salesman, one of the icy hounds. We have a snake hole, but we should probably just play a bursting jawmonger with this turn. And then we have to go face for thirteen, putting them back down to seventeen. Pass turn. So we still have-- Oh, it's a hound that's making a woofing backing noise. We attack. I don't know, there's a desertness matron. And then a forest-- not forest-sealing, what is it called? I can't remember, they've drawn two cards and gained ten armour. It's called floss of lotus blossom, that's the one. So they've got three mana left, they were three, four taunt, they're playing pinned into birth. This is probably highland druid. Twin perfect ziliax on turn five is a bit of a... a big play for them, but now they're still digging up, they're only at six mana. We have a four, one, a three, two. I did ask you if you had a handy. In my hand. Anyway, this druid is trying to discover which minion to gain with the pinned into birth to heal them. You ready? Let's go. Okay, looks like it's our turn. You're good? Yeah. Great, okay, so we've got a three, four desertness matron. How much do they heal for? Heal for ten, so they've got an inner, I think, I would say. But there's still many mana on playing inner. So we've got huffer, we've got a cryopractor in hand, so they can buff a lot of stuff, we've got six mana. So leo-cuffer, and we can hear a power even, but I don't think we need to hear a power. We've only got two board spaces, so maybe that is what we do. Not leo-misha, sorry, so misha, huffer. Oh, I guess we do have another board space. After we trade a bursting jawmonger into their desertness matron. Let's just go face for a bunch of damage and see what we're up to. Puts them down to seventeen again. Hear a power for two, play another bursting jawmonger, I think. Hear a power for two. We can always play bursting jawmonger next turn, and we can always trade snake oil next turn as well. But at this point, what it's coming down to is just how much they can get in play to stop us versus how much damage we can do. They're on fifteen, we've got a three, two, a five, two, a couple of five forwards, a two, four and a five, four, taunt. You all right? Yeah, with my legs hurt. Your legs hurt? Yeah. We'll be all right. I am not ready for this. No, I mean, I do this all the time, don't sit there, it's wet. But we stand down here while we wait for a train. So the druid is playing sleep under the stars. They're gaining five armour. You're on the wrong side of the mic now. It's on that side, that's right. They're gaining five armour, and let me guess they're going to gain five more armour. So in hand, we have a snake oil, we've got a couple of cryopactors, we can only play one. And playing one freezes the menu so it doesn't get to a take. Yeah, they gained fifteen armour, a bunch of bananas. All right, how much damage do we have in play? I did, okay, sorry. We've got twenty damage on those ones and we've got five on those. We just need five more damage, which means a bunch of bananas, three times. There's a train. We will maybe get on this one. And here are power, that should be lethal. Yeah, good, they can see it. That's essential. It does, that's what we want. All right, we won the game, fantastic. But as a druid, we were going to beat them down. You want to get on this train? Yeah. Okay, follow us on Twitch, Twitter, and YouTube. @blistagai, follow the podcast. It's always a pleasure to have you join us for our walk to work. Good luck, everyone. And everything you do, because you're on absolute bloody legends. Don't say bloody. And we love you all. Well, I love you all, I assume. Like, I just tried to stop. It's not full. No, it's not. It is definitely not full, compared to what it could be. That's all right, we're going to stop talking about it. We're going to stop talking about it now. Up we go. We're going to stop talking about it now. We're going to stop talking about it now. We're going to stop talking about it now. We're going to stop talking about it now.
