Penguin seems like a good dude, glad to have him apart of the squad

Hitch and Nick are the kings of not letting people talk. Shut up for one second and let your guest who the Greenwall barely knows say his piece.

Nick, don’t worry about trying to fill space by talking! Im guessing it’s the anxiety. I do the same shit. Feeling like I have to entertain constantly instead of letting other people fill their roles

Zane is just a cool chill dude, cant wait to watch him thrive on optic.

Dead zone is really leaning up, keep up the good work, looking good brother!

Next time if you have a guest, maybe let them talk more. Love yall too

This interview was the best interview I’ve seen as far as halo good job fellas

I miss the Penguin name but only cause its my favorite animal. Kinda wish we got to learn more about Zane. Pretty cool stuff and loved you guys having on someone new.

Deadzone is a chill cat never heard him talk before W podcast

Absolutely loved this pod. The old school halo talk is amazing. Now you’re gonna have me watching the USA Network H2 tournaments all night.

Haven’t listened but I’m sure I’ll love it. Keep it up never stop. Maniac, I never get tired of hearing about your struggles 😂 hope you guys the best.

They’re so weenyhut jr got me

Love talking over the guest😂

Also of course leave it up to Nick to bring up the conversation of mental health and depression with this guy who I want to know more about and don’t want to know if he’s suffering through depression and mental health issues🙄

Some of us in our late 30s still all about gaming as much as possible

This is Hitch’s and Maniacs podcast. The best duo

Comments are a little too critical of them talking over the guest. Felt like good conversation to me. If you want an interview focused podcast, Deadzone just did the Eavesdrop with Hecz.

Alright I would grab a beer with this man and talk about everything

The Goat Intro becoming a Flycast Staaaandaaarrrd.

I wuv my Nicky pooh da cutoff king😚😍

I love hitch and niece man. "first thing he said to me is I weigh 218 lbs" lmfao. you guys are long time true friends man.

My boys Maniac and Hitch, why was this so passive aggressive? Love you guys but Hitch needs to lay off roasting Maniac so much, just too much sometimes gotta respect the man every once in a while. Manic needs to be a little more self aware with what he's saying too, feels like he was making it too much about him and not about Deadzone (penguin was a wayyyy cooler name btw) Just felt like everyone was slightly angry this podcast idk why but some good conversations were had I enjoyed it just hard to watch at times. Just realized they didnt put my boy Deadzone's name in the title even, the title makes it seem like it's a podcast with or about Formal. Love you guys but this one felt off

Soul Silver/ Heart Gold were so good! Pokémon talk bringing back memories. Action replay went crazy too

Exalt just dropped Extol 3. Multi cod sniping montage. One of the best ones ever

Faze Kampy best Halo montager Gone but not forgotten 😢

Bro put his name in the title, the amount of disrespect is wild

Great Pod

Zane is a chill ass dude can’t lie after listening to this and the eavesdrop

Nick disses him like 5 times in the first 10 minutes lmfao???

Can't lie , penguin was a dope name caught my eye then you made the name cool by your game play

What's the point of having a guest if you won't let them finish thoughts.

What's really special about the Analog Pocket is that it uses hardware-emulation; it contains an FPGA which is programmed to replicate the actual behavior of real gameboy silicon.

It’s cool to see a fellow Washingtonian on here. Kinda funny how much halo talent this area used to have, guess thats what happens when it rains every day where you live.

Stellur on this team instead of Kinguin would have been a GOD SQUAD. Might never lose a map squad.

Homeless people are in every city. St Louis is pretty bad. God bless all of them. Was iffy on the pickup with penguin AKA Dead zone and the name change for watching this put a perspective on how great of a kid he is and how perfect he is for OpTic. let's get him a Ring.

Getting royal 2 on the pod would be sick

Zane is looking hella healthy these days!

Bump is a Seattle come up necessity

New thumbnail got my dope checked

I haven't played a new Pokemon game since they remade ruby and sapphire for the 3DS (owed 10 year old me a playthrough of them), but I can confidently say that Heart Gold and Soul Silver are some the best they have ever made. Honestly, the DS era games were the series peak.

She penguin on my deadzone till I’m feeling Zaney

Formal is FINAL yallready know

Bunch of haters down here. Whether you liked the podcast or hated it, you watched. That’s all you could do. Another entertaining pod fs

Maniac is just funny dude no matter what dudes saying it’s just kinda funny lol

Bro sounds exactly like Octane💀

Maniac and hitch go get haircuts from the optic podcast #18 for a vlog together.

No way homie has an OG tat

Timestamp for formal gas?

Have some respect and let your guest get a full thought off

Bro the Wanwerd shout out is not something I expected at all lmao wackem if yr seeing this come carry us in infinite lol -Kansas

I will never Understand people saying OGRE 2 is the GOAT over some of the guys who have won on multiple titles across the last 15 years. Final Boss and OGRE 2 won 90 percent of their chips when the scene wasn't big and the competition was low when it came to H2 and Combat Evolved. H3 showed since they only won 1 chip that year when they were winning every event in H2. Not to mention the 51 are when you combine 4v4, 2v2, and FFA. I feel like you need to look at 4v4 to grasp a GOAT of Halo. I guess they mean GOAT because without him the Scene wouldn't be as massive?

We would watch a NiaC clash royal rage stream

#BtH

Dude give the guy some form of welcome for the interview at least, make the guy comfortable before he has to answer your questions lol. Anyway go Zane I'm hyped he's on Optic.

i live in seattle and ill tell you, its a city of zombies

Man that was a great podcast would’ve been even better if Maniac could let his guests finish a thought. Really off-putting how often Maniac makes every conversation about himself, or bring up his mental state/drinking habits for the 10000th time: we probably won’t get to see dead zone on here again or for a long time so it’s just unfortunate. I would’ve like to see where some of his conversations were going.

Big Pznguin fan. (‘:

I love you nick but let the guest talk pleaseeee

Let’s go

Them talking about pokemon was so sad. They were talking about all the og ones 1-4 ish. and then they stopped playing them... Bruhhh they never got to experience playing gen6 XandY! Still to this day might be the best pokemon game. Was insane for its time dude. Replayed it like 20 times at least.

Damn maniac, let people talk. Shit ain’t about you homie lmao

maniac was mad weird here pretty disrespectful

Maniac is getting real good with this podcast shit

Penguin has a crazy ego for sure. That's good tho

20:39 PokeMMO is so fckn good but once you beat all the regions there isn't much else to do

W Meathead

Dog Nick was terrible this ep. Cutting off like crazy come on bro.

Imagine how much better this would be without Maniac

Invites their new Halo player on their show… and immediately call Halo boring. Why even say that to your guest?

Gosh H5 was so bad. Infinite is actually best since H2 and H3. Reach, H4, and H5 were the dark days. Reach KIND of came back around....but it was pretty meh. H4 and H5 were real bad. Infinite HCS is actually fire. Everyone who games is pretty much gonna be depressed unless they get outside and active at least once a day. And especially if they're eating garbage consistently which is typical. Seattle's beautiful because of where it's at and because it's surround by beautiful mountains and nature etc....not because the city is cool. Cities just suck in general. The only thing cities are good for are good food and events/Halo tournaments. :D If Ola came back and got top 3 on a team....I'd bake him a cake and name him the ultimate goat.

Mainac hmu 😂, bro stop solo queing 😂😂 stop doing it to your self

Had to downvote this one. Let the guest talk. Conversations never get flushed out.

I only watch for Nick… bro is hilarious and doesn’t even know it lol

HitchNiac 2024

Both podcasts this guy has been on have been stinkers. Everyone bitching about the hosts talking over him... maybe there's a reason why...

Lowkey wack title lmao

HALO 5 WAS TRASH 😂😂😂

Halo fell off after reach

Maniac ruined the podcast holy so annoying

My boys and I are in that Hysteria/Neighbor montage 🥲 Hysteria got an overkill on us in a 3v3 Guardian oddball match. People don’t know what it’s like to get embarrassed in a montage for everyone to see anymore lol

These comments seem nice. Keep crushing boys. Weekly listen for me 🫡
