It's nice to see the two coming up with fun ways to them interacting, despite having to stay isolated.

Im not sure the get the joke about Valorant though. Does Tycho not normally play these types of multiplayer games?

No, the joke is that Tycho is normally so terrible at games that Gabe can't believe a claim to the contrary. Jerry is notoriously and self-admittedly terrible at nearly every game. His presence on at team being only a hindrance for his unlucky partners.

You can win the match for you team by buying guns for your more worthy team mates and by playing smart with abilities.
Some of my most memorable wins were when I was literally the bottom of the team and watched the map for them after going to spectate.

I have definitely done similar in some games with elimination modes where when I die, i spectate a friend but face backwards and alert them of flanks.

It's like the plot of a heartwarming buddy comedy

Or the Disney Channel sitcom Teen Angel

Finally got beta access. Played a few rounds and I just... This is a great game for the people who've been playing CS this whole time. Everyone else though? It adds almost nothing. It's the least original game I think I've ever played.
