It's time to put your pedal to the metal. From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland, an executive producers, Will Arnett and Anthony Mackie comes a new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal, a high-oxane action comedy based on the classic video game series. Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a motor-mouthed outsider who must deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. If he can survive the drive, also starring Stephanie Beatriz, Samoa Joe, Nev Campbell, Will Arnett, and Thomas Hayden Church.

Twisted metal, streaming only on peacock. And dust and jaff, they got a weird So open your ears and crack open a beer for the drum tank My gas, we've got so much to talk about All the future ever just blew adventures Oh baby, it's gonna be so crazy tonight Oh, I'm right, I get ready for the drum tank Maybe there would be hot chicks on this time But probably not, so you like to settle for Bernie Hey everyone, welcome to the Rooster Kid's Drum Tank

My wife settles for Bernie every day Settle is a very good word So who is that Gus? That was our this week's theme song from bowl or rance camo. No way bowl. Yeah, that was cool. Long time long time long time problem insert. He was one of the one of the original guys back when we converted over to community site. He was like the first troll. Yeah, he was like he had to be like in the first three or four guys to get banned.

And how many times did you end up banning him, Gus? Repeatedly, I don't know. I don't know. I think scientists are still working on that number. Not that we don't have a foolproof banning system on our website, but yet somehow, it's always the same mentality. Someone who will get banned from a website, also is the kind of person who will go like through proxies

in the Ukraine to come back to the site just to continue the rampage. And rampage was was definitely a good word. Guess who is coming back though? Who from bandland? Who? Hell Slayer. Really? Do you want to talk about that?

Are you guys okay with that? Sure, why not? I personally like the kid. He registers every damn domain name that has anything to do with Rooster Teeth. He registers like account with any new networking site or anything new out there. Yeah, we have our Twitter.com slash Rooster Teeth because of him.

And the nice thing about it. We go to him first. Yeah, you just like, you're like, oh, I wonder if we have a Twitter account. Hey, Hell Slayer, can we have a Twitter account? No, no, it's not Kenwe. It's Hell Slayer. Do we have a Twitter account? Oh, cool. What's not can we it's Hellslayer. Do we have a Twitter account? Yeah, oh cool. What have we been saying on that?

Have we been updating regularly? Good They had the how am I doing the Facebook vanity URLs just came in and I actually had to go out and reach out to him and say Look, please don't register anything because it'll get locked if you register a Facebook vanity name and we won't be able to get it back from you No matter what and he said I understand I saw that people are already trying to sell vanity names on eBay. That's retarded. Yeah. I apparently know Bids. I'm not on Facebook, but it doesn't seem like that is how you find people on Facebook

like you would never give that out. Would you? Because it never existed. But you think it's so you think it's valuable to have Facebook.com slash Gus. Sure. We have it on our site. Did you get it? Uh, no Facebook.com slash Gus. Sure. We have it on our site. Did you get it? No, I always get Serola.

We have an RSI too, but it's not. We don't think it's valuable enough that people want to sell it ever. Oh, no, absolutely not. Unless, you know, receive.com slash my box wants to sponsor us. How's it, Roddy? No, but it's convenient, right? I mean, it's not, we don't do it because we think it's like an end all be all solution to everything you want in social media.

It just seems like it's a no brainer kind of a thing. Yeah. Yeah. Why didn't they have it set up that way to begin with? Yeah, I mean, they're definitely copying us. It's another example of big media stealing our ideas. It is weird though, because I mean, you know, Facebook is like this generation's current Myspace, right?

It's like just the current big player and social media. And that's what Myspace really had going for them is every time you saw someone's address, it was always Myspace.com slash whatever. Man, speaking of Myspace, did you hear about their layoffs? Yeah, 33% or something. Yeah, like 30% I think was like 340 employees let go. Let's hope they laid off the embedded music player department. Whoever whoever it is, the auto plays all that music on my face.

Whoever approves their banner ads, it starts screaming at you and playing stupid flash animation. But what you just said though, is that they laid off 30%, which was 340 something people just terribly sad. But that means my space had a thousand employees. Yeah. Which also, I think about the story that Facebook has a thousand employees too. I think after that number might be wrong then, because now that I think I think after the Facebook has a thousand employees too. I think after I'm that number might be wrong Then because now that I think about it I think after the layoff still have a thousand employees So I think they must have like 13 or 14 hundred employees

Like not to not to disperse what they do, but you know We have a fairly popular social networking site and we have you and Ben like does it really take a thousand people to run my space? Yes, I need a I've been going to talk to you about that. You need 300. Yes, I know I need 300 salaries. Oh, okay. So I guess we before we go any further I should comment on Joel's absence here at the drunk tank this week.

Okay, okay, go ahead. Thanks, you'll let us know. Joel's absent. You know, Joel's not here. That's it. Okay. Now he's he's out in the conference call or something and so we decided to start without him. We went on. We were shooting on location today. Jeff, you weren't there for whatever reason. I have the alley. Yeah. And we were out at 532nda in a row. We went out there and there was a very simple shot. They had to pull off. They're playing catch. I don't think I'm ruining anything, you know, spoiling anything in the video by saying that Nathan had to throw the ball to Matt. It must have

taken 30 minutes. I think they threw the ball 30 times and the catch was successful twice. Like when you say the catch was successful, they're throwing a baseball by the way, right? Right. Right. Is that a baseball glove? Does Nathan can Nathan not get it there or does when it get near Matt, does he duck? I mean, what's so difficult about playing cash? Both. You're kidding. It was a transmission and a receiving error.

And I'm running camera. I'm running camera. And because they're both in the shot, I was doing slate and running camera. Gus is running audio. So I have to rack focus until and pan and catch this ball through the sky as it hits the glove and lands in. Sure.

They would do 12 times, get it wrong. They would do it kind of right one time out of 13 times. And then Matt would go, did you get it? I go, I'm not sure. He goes, you're not sure. It's like, hey dude, I can't be perfect every time. Well, you guys can't throw a goddamn ball. So they just like the like the least athletic dudes on the planet.

It's Macaw winded, catching the ball, catching the ball. He got winded. How'm not outwinded catching the ball catching the ball He got winded has that power he was drenched in sweat and just like oh It was like seven in the morning to see you guys weren't it couldn't even too hot right it was pretty humid But yeah, it's weird. What are they like a football field apart? No, they were no they were not at all They were about 30 feet apart. I wouldn't even do them that. I said there were maybe 30 feet apart It's like the first shot. It's like the first shot in the film and they were in Matt's defense He was like chest deep in the sunflower things so we had to run through the sunflowers to catch it You should have just given up and had Nathan try to kick it in

I said we should have three-man slingshot and just fired it I can't I'm really sad for the state of our office if Matt and Nathan can't throw a baseball and catch Joel Joel actually shown No Joel was the the star of the story showed it playing catch. Yeah, he he could throw a ball Throw a baseball let me ask you question. Guess can you throw a baseball? Yes, while while carrying the boom and all that shit I had to throw a baseball to Nathan a couple times and you were successful successful every time They might not be good at throwing a baseball But I bet Matt and Nathan of play barbies like nobody else in the office you know you you really haven't seen ever mad mad but

mad was mad today what was he mad about about us giving him shit about not being able to catch the ball well did he have a defense yeah he said he was he goes if it's that's it's that goes if it's so hard you try it I'm like, what is that? I have to go on chat. You want to come in here and defend me? You want to come in? You want to come in? You want to come in? I'm on the video next week. Bernie running around in open field. So that was, that was pretty upset.

Man, I'm fucking exhausted from that. Like, just, I mean, just like waking up at 5.30. Man, I normally come to the office at 10 and I was here at 6 this morning. I thought I was in, I thought it was a nightmare. I think it's awesome. Because I was like, I feel like we had a full day. I was like, I'm going to go to the office. I'm going to go to the office at 10.

And I was here at 6 this morning. I thought I was in a nightmare. I think it's awesome. Because I was like, I feel like we waking up at 5.30 man. I normally come to the office at 10 and I was here at 6 this morning I thought I was in I thought it was a nightmare. I think it's awesome because I was like I feel like we had a full day And it's like what time is it? It's 8.15 in the morning. Yeah, we know we wrapped and then we're like Oh, let's go to waffle house and everyone was like oh, I don't know if we have time to eat breakfast We looked at our watch and was like oh, it's 9.15 Yeah, so it's plenty of time to be in the army. Hey, since we're talking about stuff we're working on, let's probably talk about reconstruction, or re-creation for a little bit. Sure.

This is funny, because I always, when I go to say it, I always want to go say reconstruction. And then when I'm always naming the files and moving files around in the server, I always mess it up and name it relocated, because I'm still not in the mood of calling it re-creation yet. But there's a lot of questions I ask for questions

in my journals, and I'm gonna be posting like a separate audio commentary like Q&A answer session for that. Oh nice. Well, we just had the first actual episode of recreation come out on Monday. Yeah. I thought it went really well.

I was really nervous about the whole timed release thing. You got a stomach ache and had to go home. I was sick. Like with nerves from the whole idea of having everyone at the site at the same time But it went it went surprisingly well. I went way better than I thought it would I was nervous about giving ourselves a 9 p.m. Deadline and meeting it and we fucking knocked it out of the park there Yeah, well, yeah, the problem is also the problem I was also thinking of is if we don't meet the 9 p.m. Deadline then more and more people just jam up and bottleneck on the website.

I don't know what's fucking you guys are worried about. I'm just fucking breeze. I was worried about it. It was 5.45 and you were like hmm should we record this audio and shoot one more scene for the end of the video. Yeah, no, no, that's the problem with Reversive Blue Production is we work up until the very last second and so giving ourselves a hard deadline kind of scares me. Well the problem is you finished the video early, right? Like we finished the video,

we shot basically everything the previous week. And then it's just what remains is editing and what we call the sweetening process when we go through with sound effects. You can always do more of that, you know? You can always just keep doing it and keep doing it. And, you know, we came in on Monday morning and it was like, let's do one or two more edits. And then at 5.45 we're still editing, you know, because we just want to make it better and better and better and better And then you look at a joke is like well, you kind of add lib and post production Which is a really nice thing about red versus blue which we don't have on the live action shoots Is when you're editing the live action you look at oh, we've been funny if this guy said that there in redverse blue

If you think that you can just jump in the booth and do it, you know in about 10 minutes Right one of the great things about machinima is that you can set up the exact same shot with the exact same weather and the exact same lighting and it doesn't look like a reshoot in any way. And you don't get that on live action. Yeah, like in this recreation episode of one, you know, when you were doing the editing, you thought, oh, wouldn't it be you said, wouldn't it be funny if Simmons had a line here? I went in, recorded it, you dropped it in and then you're like, no, never mind, not that funny. Yeah. You can make the joke. Look at it, and then be like, oh, never mind. You know, you also get great stuff like in the editing process that I

currently one of my favorite jokes in Red vs. Blue is the one that we kind of came up with when we were playing around cutting in the video where Simmons is, what was he asking? No, Sarge is talking about the Blutonians. Oh, right. It's not right to talk about a whole Per one person as an entire team. What would be appropriate? Blutonian Blumen? Right. Blutard. Blutard. Can you hear it? Nerobsome. Yeah. Anyway, that was the job. Thanks for helping me. I'm trying to help you. I didn't mean to steal it from you. No, no, no, no, no, no. But the way we did that was actually Simmons that not have two lines there. I just had him start the line,

Sarge interrupts him, and then we just had the exact same footage and the exact same audio again to finish it There was another funny thing from that first episode that we we haven't put out where you cut together some of Kibus's audio And it sounded like you were singing a song that was fucked up But still not telling you you should give me that audio I can put it like as a link here for that with the podcast It's when yes, Sim or Kibus is walking away and sim says what are you working on it goes still not telling you and the way Joel read it as caboose he goes still not telling you still not telling you and it's like this weird loop that when I can't Playing it back. It sounded like a beat from some like Euro trash electronic. It was stuck in my head all weekend I was like I was like walking around my house going, still not telling you, still not telling you. It's the new honk honk.

But you know what's weird about that? He said Joel couldn't hear it. Yeah, it was weird. He didn't know what we were talking about because I kept playing it back to back and he didn't hear it. Jeff was playing Ghostbusters earlier. Hell yeah. I was like, it's fucking awesome so far.

And I was, I had read some pre review stuff Preview stuff pre review preview I'm a I'm a little out of it this week. I got a bad foot. Oh, are you taking drugs for that? No comment Are you taking prescribed drugs for that? No people take a lot of stuff for lots of things I don't want to get into a lot of football games. I? I had taken my daughter to the river to go swimming for the weekend at a park, and I stepped on a big chunk of glass and sliced the entire bottom of my foot. And I want to say I warned Jeff not to go.

You did. Don't go outside. Nothing good ever happens outside. No point. No point. Didn't see any bears, but. You go outside in Azeroth. That's about it.

That's weird, because Matt talked to me about Jeff too about Jingsing and Jeff as well because when we uploaded the public version for the nine pm release sponsor version went out just fine But as soon as the sponsor version started to go we had to re-edit and re-code the public version Jeff goes Well, the episode is on it's cool with you guys. I'm gonna soon take off so we said okay And as soon as Jeff walked out the door did upload failed and then the Encode failed and then we uploaded again the upload failed the encode failed again. Jesus Christ. Really? And so Matt said Jeff is not allowed to say the episode is done ever again. I wasn't aware of that but I Be sure not to do it again

And so it's karma for your cut foot. You get a free a free episode fuck up Anyway, the previews for Ghostbusters that I read weren't that great. Yeah, it's a really fun game so far. And I was wondering how well it would do. I bought a picket of a Best Buy last night and I got the last copy of Best Buy. And the guy said that people had been like, there was a steady stream of people

coming in and buying it all day. And he was amazed they had any left because he felt like every 10 minutes somebody bought Ghostbusters. Wow. Is there multiplayer in that game? Yeah. Forbler Co-op, I think.

You know, and online Co-op. We think of the video game buying season as being in that game? Yeah. Forth player of Co-op, I think. You know, and online Co-op. We think of the video game buying season as being in the winter for Christmas. But I mean, it seems like if you came out with a game the day summer started, you just, you dominate. Yeah, pretty much. I mean, that's what, you know, that's how Madden does so well, right? You know, Madden.

It addition to being a great game. Madden's at the end of summer. Is it July, August? It also makes me wonder why. It's always summer in Texas, Gus. True.. I guess it also makes me wonder Well, it's always a summer in Texas. Gus true. No kidding It also makes me wonder why they don't have a kids movie out at all times There should be 52 kids movies a year every week you have the option to go see a different kids movie exactly I've seen up now three times

We're in thin We're in real thin partly cloudy that short still awesome up is like you really start to wonder like if it's a whole story I'm seeing it three times man. Oh, I think most people don't go watch it three times My thing most people don't go watch it three times. I bet you're right unless you're under the age of seven and you watch it 8,000 times and then we tell you all the movie critics were under the age of seven terrible There's a way off They don't get any kind of nuance. Yeah. I don't really don't get it. I like the part with the man in the boat.

Which should be a new project, maybe FilmCritic.com. Maybe FilmCritic.com. That's a great idea. Hellsley, I'll go ahead and register that. We'll buy it from you. We need you to give it to us next week. So speaking of being pissed off, I'm supposed to get my iPhone 3GS.

Congratulations. I think I got delayed. I'm supposed to get my iPhone 3GS. Yeah, congratulations. I think I got delayed. I was supposed to get it tomorrow. Yeah, the software updates today, but they delayed it a couple hours, right? I don't think the software updates today. It is today. You mentioned that to me earlier.

Yeah, I read officially it's supposed to come out this afternoon. So what's going to happen with the software update? I can cut and paste. Yeah. What else? Cut and paste. You don't have to like to be able to push push notifications

Which seems like what's push notifications? You never like aim and stuff like running in the background. No, that's great You know I'd like to be able to deal my iPhone. What's that speaking to movies? I'd like to be able to silence it for two hours and not hard silence it with a damn switch Because I always forget to take it off when I come out of a movie every single time and then the other thing I'd like to be able to do which seems like a complete no-brainer, is to be able to play songs in the alarm and the clock. Hmm, that's a good idea.

I think both of those features are coming this afternoon. Are they? I have no idea. They probably are. I don't think either of those are. Do you guys hear that feature they have where you find your phone, where you can like, if your phone gets stolen, you can locate it. Oh, the GPS.

Yeah. Look at anyone in the world. Yeah. They should call that feature the get beat up by a bum feature because you know there's gonna be a lot of nerds, a lot of angry nerds getting their ass kicked in a back alley. Please, back my phone. Look, you buddy, you took my phone.

I know you have it. The cord that's right here. It's ringing in your pocket. After your pocket. Yeah, that'd be horrible. Oh, that's another thing you can do. Also, as a side effect of that, find my phone. If you, even if your phone's silenced or set to vibrate, you can force it to play like

a special tone. Really? Through the website. Yeah, so that way... That's that town. I don't know. Yeah, that's probably it. Yeah.

So that way, if it's like lost in your house, you can force your phone to play that noise and you can find it. It's as long as it's charged. Well, yeah, you can't remotely charge it from the website. I'm sorry. You said they'll come in OS 4.0. You said you doesn't defy the laws of physics? Fuck you, Apple.

Fucking lazy prick. Do you read guys read about the bully who got a, or the kid who confronted the bully? Yeah, yeah. I read that. He's gonna read the story? Yeah, that's terrible. He confronted the bully.

I didn't read the story. I kind of just read the headline in the summary, but you can correct me here if I'm wrong, guys. It was a guy who's being bullied, so he confronted the bully. I didn't read the story. I kind of just read the headline in the summary, but you can correct me here if I'm wrong, guys. It was a guy who was being bullied, so he confronted the bully and stood up to him and the bully stabbed him. What? What?

What happened was he confronted the bully, then the bully got mad and told him he was going to stab him tomorrow. Then the next day the bully brought a knife to school. I brought a knife. I'm going to stab you. And then, as they were walking home, he took out the knife and stabbed him in the chest. Did he kill him? No, he stabbed him in the chest it punctured his lung the kid then ran away for like three quarters of a mile to a friend's house and And the friend's parents took him to the hospital did the bully gets suspended?

I think they can't say what's gonna happen to him because of Like surprise that screw that if you stab somebody, I mean that's an adult thing to do because of, like, private figure. Screw that. Screw that. If you can stab somebody, I mean, that's an adult thing to do. You know, what your charge is an adult, you should. I think they were both 12 years old. Wow. 12 years old.

Yeah. Is it right to call, I mean, that point is murder, right? Like, or, you know, attempt at murder, right? I'm like, bully applies anymore. I think the reason the kids stood up to him was the bully was like picking on some other girl. Like like the kid wasn't even being picked on Um, so like the the kid tried to step in and like till the bully to stop picking on the girl You serious yeah, and he got stabbed oh, so you stand it up for a girl and he got doomed

I hope that fucking that kid better get a blowjob and a half I don't know you seriously. That's got a dumb you better get laid Sounds like somebody brought a John you script to a knife fight Podcast joke of the year right there, yeah, that's definitely in contention All right, well, we feel sorry for him and his family. Not so sorry for the bully who stabs people at 12 years of age. Yeah, terrible. You mean by the dude who killed 19 cats? Oh, and they think he actually killed 34 but they can only prove that he was, he only did 19. What, that's like that alone is a serial killer conversation right there. You know? Yeah, that's

fucked up. We can only prove the 19 that he killed. That's a fucked up kid, dude. Yeah. I mean, I don't know him. He doesn't know me. He doesn't know me. I don't know him. It's all good. But that's kind of off the charts.

And then his mug shot was like, even worse. He's like, has that smug smirk on his face? Dude, he look like a totally normal kid to me. Yeah. He look like any kid that you'd see in high school didn't have any kind of like weirdness about him at all. Aside from the headline. He killed 19 cats at least at least 19 cats. Not a kid. 18 years old. Wow. Wow. Why would you... You just messed up man. Just messed up. Cats in particular? Cats killed his dad. Oh okay. The cats were bullying a girl.

In the neighborhood. And he was gonna stand up for these are like house catch right they're not mountain lions No, no, they were they were house cats and he was like skidding them alive What throwing them on the What in this conversation I got space a some iPhone Oh, yeah, you were telling me that was fucking awesome. Well, it's awesome from an nostalgia point of view Because I played space ace in the arcade as a kid hell Yeah yeah. Those Don Bluth, those laser-disk games like Dragon Slayer and Space Ace, they were actually kind of rare. Like they were in very specific locations and you had to go play them. You know, I just made

the connection. You said I knew this were Don Bluth games. Don Bluth also, he directed like Aldog's Good-A-Heaven and a bunch of animated cartoons. We talked about Don Bluth before because people were saying that you, someone here said that you couldn't tell the difference or that the average person couldn't tell the difference between a Pixar movie and a Dreamworks movie. And I said they probably would be able to, because people knew the difference between Disney animation and Don Bluth animation.

They knew they weren't the same. Yeah, but Don Bluth, I think he even worked a Disney for a long time and then spunked off his own company. American Tail, right? He did that Yeah, did American tail okay? I know I when when I want to play dragon's layer growing up. I had to go to the pizza hut Yeah, you know like that was like that was the place that had dragons layer. That's why I played joust

I'm sure you can pretty much name games to people who grew up during the arcade years And they can tell you where they went to play every one of those games Oh, yeah, like as a kid you like had like a map in your head like your mom's like, hey I'm gonna go get my nails done here. It's like that's in the strip mall that's got an arcade that's got you know, space zap and crazy climber. Yeah, I love going to that pizza hut because it was Dragon's Quest then right behind it was 1942. I could fucking entertain myself all day with between those two. What do you consider to be the rare game that you played that nobody else ever talks about? I played, I mean it's not really a rare game. I just don't really ever hear anyone talking about it. I played a tech mobile arcade version. Yeah. It was a big wide one. It was really

wide for players. Yeah. You could like, well, yeah, it was really, it was really fun. John L. Bay's quarterback was like a really rare game that I played. Where they had like a spring loaded pass mechanism. There was an arcade version of that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There was a console version. Wow. Yep yep I think the rarest game that I played though besides of like Satan's hollow which is weird to see in like a pizza place uh was cloaking dagger I remember anyone ever playing that was a fucking video game too yep it was based on the movie yeah you'd like play the level and then get to the end what was your rarest one I don't know that I played in rare games

but the two games that I played constantly that nobody else I know played were Yarkung Fu and I just played Rost on all the time. There was a Rost on at the gas station at my grandparents' house. I played Rost on. Yeah, but like if I ever bring it up people are like I don't know if it's in the Sega, but nobody remembers playing in the arcade. Do you ever play Moonwalker in the arcade? Yeah, absolutely. Wow. Yeah. I didn't know that was an arcade game. I thought it was a Sega Genesis game Yeah, I played that quite a bit in the arcade also It's fun so funny too because when you name the game I can think of where I played that game and then all the other games that were at that place Yeah, I mean this is decades later, and I can remember that stuff

You know, you know, what's fucked up? I can still remember the very first time I ever saw Street Fighter 2 cabinet Really? Yeah, it was at the it was at the it was at my sixth grade graduation at the gold mine arcade now Was that the street fighter that had the pressure sensitive buttons? Or was that just straight up street fighter? No straight up normal first street fighter to did you ever see the original street fighter Where it had the huge buttons and how hard you hit them was the fierce versus whatever versus whatever jab and yeah They had that they had that at the Walmart by my house And I felt so ripped off that everybody else at school is playing Street Fighter 2 And I had street fighter I had to go the only place I ever saw Street Fighter was at the shakies in San Angelo, Texas Wait, the hell you doing in San Angelo, Texas?

I had some family out there You know, I kind of missed that I really do I miss going into either a pizza place or a Convenient store because that's where video games were where they were always in convenience stores And they always had one or two and get all excited. I'll tell you actually since we're on the topic of laser disc games Probably the rarest game that I played that almost nobody played was a laser disc game called cliffhanger And it was based on loopin the castle of kegley, Ostro, right what and yeah It's really weird and I never knew what loopin was I didn't know anime was but they had a laser disk game Based on it in fact when I see him I think he's called cliffhanger man

It's fucking weird. I've never even heard of that. Yeah, I mean yeah I'm sure you could look it up online and you could play like you'd fight ninjas Then you'd fight the dude at the end who looked like embison and all this stuff and it was one of the games that I could I Lazers game I could play all the way through it's the only one I ever spent the time and money to play the entire way through That's crazy speaking of old arcade games that either of you guys pick up any of the Sega arcade classics that they Release on Xbox Live last week. They put out like six games like Shinobi and Altered Beast and oh I would have picked up Shinobi alternate beast always seemed dumb to me. No, I love all of these I love all of these two

Shinobi was one of my favorite games as a kid. I had it for the master system They put out like rolling thunder was that a second game? That's a kind of like Shinobi. Yeah. Yeah. The shooting one. Did they put that out? I don't think they they're rolling thunder has already. No, no, it hasn't. Never mind. You want a cool retro title on Xbox live or Xbox originals? You can download a game called Intellivision Lives, which is almost every single Intellivision game ever made, which is kind of cool, but even cooler is that they have like documents there and they have like a story on each one and they

talk about how much it costs to make it. They tell you how many units it sold. So you get a feeling for like how successful games were back then and what was a good amount of units to sell and then crazy stuff like because back in the day, you know, when they were making games back then, they made on cartridges. To manufacture a cartridge, a lot different than burning discs, right? So they would finish the games before they finished the manuals and all that other stuff.

And they had to finish it like, I think like 10 weeks before they actually had the release date. And they talked about the guy who made like B17 bomber. He was literally coding it right before they took it out the door, like adding stuff in. And back then they couldn't really test it. There was no testing involved. And so then they tested it after it went off to manufacture, and they would write bugs into the manual as being good things that happened. Like, oh, if you get far enough, the screen will turn entirely purple when you win the game.

You guys are like, it was just awesome. It was awesome to read about that stuff. It was like 10 people in that division in Mattel. Mattel went and said, hey, you guys should make a video game system. So they gathered up everybody in the company who had any kind of computer experience and just made in television. That's fucking awesome. It was awesome. It was pretty cool. And it's a lot of fun just to read that stuff. You know, I thought you were gonna bring up when you said that when you were talking about arcade, I thought you were gonna bring up the Wolf and Sun 3D just came out because I know you've been playing a lot of that. gonna bring up the Wolfenstein 3D just came out because I know you've been playing a lot of that. Okay, so Wolfenstein and I watched I just got my first like community hunter video in from

fucking brown man I think and it looks like so much fun. That was a good video. It was a good video. Yeah, it was a funny kid. I was pretty entertained by his commentary. Man, I wanted I wanted nothing more than to play that game after watching that video. That's the first game ever that I played that I couldn't play for very long. So I played it on my old, you know, 486. Like I would get incredible headaches from staring at it. Yeah.

Yeah, there should be a big problem with those games before they add in the Bob and stuff like that. We're just streaming at you. Yeah. Huh. It was terrible. I couldn't look at it for more than 15 minutes.

Arguably probably the game that shaped the most other games. Like that generation of gaming that came after it, everything was based on Castle Wolfenstein 3D. Absolutely. Yeah, no doubt. Did you ever play the original Castle Wolfenstein's? The 2D overhead things? No.

I never did. Auspice. Aksuun. That's how I learned my German was from Beyond Castle Wolfenstein. It was gold. Really? You could disguise yourself as a guard and stab people. You stabbed them. You wouldn't alert the other guards.

It would be shot. I mean, alert the other guards. The only German I think I learned from Retro Castle Wolf and it was mind-leabing. Dude, that's kind of creepy, dude. You have my life. Yeah, my life. It's like, you have a video game character.

The Gestapo guys with the machine guns and you shoot them in the screen. My life, and they're screaming my life as they die like I'm like what have I done my life you killed me Like what are the hand you a note to give to their daughter It's kind of creepy right yeah totally man and then there's the uh There's the guys who you ever play rise of the triad. Oh yeah, yeah. Do you remember that game? It was like a doom knockoff, like mid 90s. And they did do the thing where you shoot guys.

They would literally fall to their knees and hold their hands up and beg for their life. And then you could choose to shoot them or not shoot them or just walk on past them. And of course, everybody shot them. Yeah, you gotta shoot them. It was horrible. And we wonder why kids kill cats.

No, that was before that kid was alive. I think right. I came out 92. Yeah That was just a thing that shaped his parents before they made Well, did you ever see the godfather to you man? No, I was never see godfather. She is what's all about man vendetta that they kill a video Corleone's family Thanks just so that's in the first two minutes of movie dude I can give a spoiler to a movie they came out in 1975 That's the number one movie on IMDB. You should see it too, so you guys ever play swimmer Play that game swimmer. How about tubing?

Which is like the cooler cousin of swimmer You're like crazy climber. Yeah, they just came out with crazy climber for the Wii I want to get that but it's gonna import it from Japan. Can you do that? You just buy the game and it works? I don't know if the Wii is region locked or not, possibly. So I'd have to buy a region encoded Japanese Wii. Yep, go for it.

You think they're gonna come out with a new Xbox? Yeah. You know, I don't know. I mean, there was a lot of speculation over the weekend that they were gonna next year when the tall launches launch an Xbox that has Nathal inside of it. But I don't know what that means because if you can use Natal on old Xbox it seems like it's just a peripheral you plug into it. Yeah maybe they'll have a bundle where you can buy an Xbox with Natal

in the box also but. Or they just have a Xbox that has Natal in it you know. So you don't have to have the peripheral. Well I don't like the idea I like the idea of Natal being separate because I want to keep my console in an entertainment console and have the camera outside of it. I don't want to have to have my camera or my Xbox visible all the time. I got mad because I trade. I gave somebody a Griffball. I mean, I'm not a Monsieur. I gave someone a Griffball figure when I was up in Seattle and he mentioned that somebody wanted to trade him

the Gryffball figure that he had now for a black chat pad. And I said, what do you mean a black chat pad? Where would you get a black chat pad? I guess they were made as tests, but they never sold them. I was like, God dammit, you gotta be kidding me. If anybody at my block is listening. It was also a black memory card as well. No, there was no black memory card.

Black chat pad would be amazing. For my block, why would they come out with it? I'm just joking, because I always talk about my block. You know, I'd love to have a black my block. How do we upgrade from Mazrata to my block? I'm still keeping a real with Mazrata here. I'm shooting for the moon. We're gonna sponsor by like, if they're gonna shoot in the moon.

Go Metro. Isn't NASA gonna blow the moon up? Yeah, for the moon. We're gonna sponsor by like, if you're gonna shoot in the moon, go Metro. Isn't that's gonna blow the moon up? Yeah, fuck the moon. They're gonna trigger a six mile high explosion on the surface of the moon to look for ice. To look for moon ice. To look for moon ice. Right, they're essentially gonna fire a booster rocket

at the moon and turn it on when it gets to the moon. Six miles high. What, I mean, I guess it's less gravity. Right, right. Dude, there's a whole There's a whole site dedicated to bad physics on the internet not bad physics on the internet But on the internet there is a website dedicated to bad physics and it's called heavy boots Which is he based it on when you ask

When you ask people about the about the moon and the people on the moon It's like how come the astronauts can bounce around up there It's like because there's no gravity. Well then why don't they fly off the moon they the people on the moon, it's like how come the astronauts can bounce around up there? It's like because there's no gravity. Well then why did they fly after moon? They had heavy boots. It's just, it's just, it's the, it must be a physics student or something. He was, he heard that discussion in a physics class in a physics college course. He was at one. So if I remember the story properly. And so his, his, his site is heavy. He's dedicated to heavy boots in physics. That's pretty funny. And uh,, you know what if I was in NASA and I was gonna set off a six mile high explosion on the moon I wouldn't come up with a reason why I'm doing it. I'd be like North Korea. I'd be like fuck it

We hate the moon. We're gonna blow it up And if you don't want us to blow up the moon then you better start paying us money or something I don't like the way it looks at me. Yeah It follows me at night and I hate it It's picking on a girl in my neighborhood. So I'm gonna put up a six mile high explosion. Oh man. It's like the start of a bad science fiction movie.

I can imagine what's gonna happen. Or a great science fiction movie. Let me think exactly what's gonna happen. They're gonna knock it out of orbit. That's what's gonna happen. Six miles. I mean, I know the gravitational pull of the earth is enough. You can't really mess with it. They're gonna fuck up and they're gonna knock it a little bit out of orbit And that thing's gonna hit the earth

That's how thunder of the barbarian started. I don't know if you guys remember that cartoon the moon hit the earth is a big deal Moon went out of orbit and the tides rose and then it was a post-apocalyptic and they had giant horses and you rode around like He man and fought stuff. That's right. I forgot. I think I did not remember that at all until you just set that. There's great cartoon. Did the moon hit the earth? No, it didn't actually hit it. It just went out of orbit and it caused, like, it just caused the catacombs.

Didn't they also have acid rain that would melt stuff and it's like hiding caves from it? Yeah, I think so. That sounds awesome. Yeah, you would see cars getting hit with acid rain and they would melt down to the lodge. The tides changing causing apocalypse? Pretty much. It was all kinds kinds of nonsense I think volcanoes erupted because of the whole thing right I mean This is cartoon science, so I don't know how accurate

Yeah, they probably didn't actually have a geologist on staff. Yeah, they might not have he was at NASA Trying to blow up the moon. Oh, I just got an aim from flash 2000 saying I should let everyone in the office know that the iPhone 3.0 OS just went online sweet So you can all brick your phones now. That sounds awesome Flash is better than he's like knowing an RSS reader, you know Like I don't I didn't subscribe to his aim updates, but I get them did you see the latest online Petition that's taking the internet by storm. I don't know.

It's the petition to have everyone removed from television. It's got 30,000 signatures. What are they trying to remove from television? Well, he made that joke about Sarah Palin's, one of Sarah Palin's daughters. He didn't specify and then she got upset because she has a 14 year old daughter. And he says he was making the joke about the 18 year old daughter. Regardless, very funny joke. And he, so he apologized.

And then people, that wasn't enough. So he came on and apologized a second time, pale and accepted his apology. But that's not enough for some senator and a bunch of wacky people on the internet. So now they're petitioning to have CBS have him taken off the air permanently and they are boycotting all of CBS's advertisers.

Wow, 30%. That's almost 1.3. Yeah. 1. Wow, 30%. That's almost one third. Yeah. One third of 0.1% of a point. Finch Lynch just aimed me also to tell me that iPhone OS 3.0 is out. Apparently, everyone needs to let me know as soon as it comes out. So I can't, I don't even have an iPhone. And people are telling me that Finch feed is slightly slower than the flash feed.

We'll just take their word for it. Take about two years to download. We'll see, we'll,, like have them keep aiming you from their phone until they stop when the phone's in the fridge. I'll ask them to do that. So only 30,000 people on that petition. So far.

How long has the petition been around? I don't know. I saw, speaking of petitions and the iPhone. No. I saw, they were the great ones. There was another petition I saw that right after Apple announced the 3GS, you know, people who had the current iPhone 3G and still had more than a year on their contract

couldn't upgrade or they'd have to pay the full iPhone 3GS price. Welcome to cell phones. Exactly. So someone started a petition on Twitter, I think you call it a Twitter petition, trying to get people to sign it to get AT&T to sell people under contract to cheaper iPhone 3GS. What it didn't realize was that every time someone signed the petition, it sent a reply to him. Yeah. On his Twitter page, so he got like in the span of two days, he got 18,000 reply

Twitter's on his page and his Twitter account became useless. And he started asking people to stop signing the petition. He said, I regret ever making this. I'm not even mad about this issue anymore. I just want to be able to use my Twitter account again. I like this Twitter account became useless. My mom is useless. She's a game-ox. Twitter is, I spend more time on tweeting too hard now than I do on Twitter.

That's funny. It is very, very funny. Very funny. And I find myself following the people who end up on there because that's more interesting to me than making these ridiculous posts. They're great. And it's really, you know,

all the controversy over the Iranian election, right? What's very big on Twitter, like there are people who are kind of talking about it. I mean, it's one of the trending topics. But I started following people who are in Iran on the ground and are tweeting about the election in the protests. And it is such a disturbing disparity between all the people I normally follow and the Iranian people who are going through this basically

revolution where it's like gunfire, someone next overshot they think here's videos guys in police uniforms beating up a protester we don't know the real not we're not really sure the police are, you know, things like this. And then like, here comes, hey, I just got new picture from Iron Man set. You know, it's a black dad and like, eating pizza, you know, it's just how long do I have to stand in line for this

Kamamakiata? Yeah. It's ridiculous. It's a little, yeah, it's a little disturbing. It's like, it's like literally like, you can see the blind eyes mixed in with all this other stuff And it's just like what do you do, you know, what do you do? All right, well, we're getting kind of long here So is there anything anybody wants to talk about before we wrap it up? Um

No, all right. All right. Well, thanks for listening everyone Describe the show to a newcomer and a more familiar way. Do you like apples? Describe the show to a newcomer and a more familiar way.
