Who fucking cares? We already talked about him too much. Okay, let's move on. I think after Comic Con our next event is PAX, which is like six weeks away? Six weeks away. Yeah, I think you're right. I think it's PAX and then we have New York Comic Con right after that, right?

Yeah, PAX Prime's at the end end of August and believe New York Comic Con is in October. And then we have an MCM in London and then a bunch of Armageddon stuff in Australia, New Zealand. Yep. All right. What a, it's just like a globe trekking year for us. Yeah, it is. It's gonna visit all the, all the big cities. I ain't going to, oh, I guess I'm going to London. Yeah, we should play that trip. Yeah, we should probably do that. We should go eat at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant all over there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to eat at his flagship restaurant. He's got a three-star Michelin restaurant over there.

Yeah, it's called Ramsay, right? Yeah. So would you be able to eat for like half price? I thought your name was so close. Yeah, you know, it's funny. I was watching a Hell's Kitchen and a MasterChef last night. And Millie was like kind of eating her dinner and like half-watching and when they announced his name she goes wait wait wait wait was

his name Ramsey and I go yeah and she goes they're like our name Ramsey and I was yeah and she's like do we know him? Did you convince her you're related that he's like her grandfather or something? No she I didn't even think to and she was like they didn't say did they say chef Ramsey or chef Ramsey are they talking about you? That's the chef Ramsey and like her grandfather or something. No, I didn't even think to him. She was like, they didn't say, do they say Chef Ramsay or Chef Ramsay? Are they talking about you? That's the Chef Ramsay and she's like, oh. So they're not talking about you on TV and I was like, not this time.

She's like, I don't. Now I googled myself recently just to see if anything popped up interesting. Gross. And there is a barbecue place in Beaumont, Texas called Jack Patillo's barbecue. And I pretty much have to go there now. It's one T, though, it's not two T's. That's fun in Beaumont. Texas called Jack Patillo's barbecue. And I pretty much have to go there now. It's one T, though, it's not two T's.

That's fun in Beaumont. Yeah, I know kidding. How far with Drivers Beaumont is like three and a half hours or something? That's more than that. It's like five. Beaumont's pretty close to Orange, which is like it right at the border.

So you're looking about for the edge of racist Texas. I don't know if you remember. We used to work with a guy back when we were at the call center who was from Beaumont, and him and his brother both lived at Austin and worked at the tech support place. And one time they were driving down to Beaumont because that's where they were from and they were visiting their family. They were driving in separate cars and they're both going I guess kind of fast and-

Did your name spell start with K? No. Who are these guys? It was Ray. Oh okay. Yeah. So Ray and his brother are driving down there. His brother gets up ahead And Ray loses him. You eventually Ray sees that his brother's been pulled over by a cop and then as he's driving by Ray

Waves at his brother who's been pulled over by the cop but that pisses the cop off. Oh, the cop tells his brother Wait here. Don't leave the cop gets back in his car Halls asked pulls Ray over and gives him a ticket to oh man. For what? Waving? For not being white in South Texas. It's fucked up man. You wave at your brother who's gotten pulled over by the cops, you're gonna take it. That is brutal. That's some serious copying right there. East Texas is a little bit scary, a little bit frightening out there. You know, East Texas is why I don't eat fast food anymore really? Well, not nationally chained fast food like I'll eat you know like P Terry's in Austin

What do you do to you? I stopped on my way to Alabama to see my parents. I stopped at a Taco Bell and The girl behind the counter had a just like 19 had an open Soar on her face that was dripping onto the table next to the food that I was ordering and like it just like I it was the grossest thing I ever experienced and I threw the food away and then I was like I can never eat and fast food again after that. Now why would that ruin it for all fast food? No one on just that restaurant. I mean especially I had it literally see it's her problem. It was a series of this. Okay. I also had a

Really bad experience at a waterburger around the same time don't ever go to waterburger at 70 a month Saturday Got it. Seriously, you don't want to see I'm not usually awake at 7 a.m. Yeah a Saturday And then it was also right around the time that they were finding like condoms and haunt and chilly and all that stuff at like Wendy's and Fingernails and shit and it just like one bad story after another and then I just I started thinking about the people that prepare my food And like if you're making minimum wage you're probably not Incented to do the best job. Yeah, and then I'm gonna put that in my tummy and I remember to working at fast food And all the dumb shit I did and so I just was yeah, that's a downward spiral though

If you start thinking about what goes into it then you'll need to start freaking out about it You just have to go and blind you have to be naive about it. No, you can just go. You're just never go. Hey, you're talking about putting stuff here. Tell me when you think about something. I know. Not that. I can't tell that story. The explicit tag is not explicit enough for that. I guess after listening to last week's podcasts, someone, I believe it was Raven, Adonis on the website, sent us a couple of small bags of CIVET coffee. Yes.

The, the poop coffee. I forget with the actual name of that, of that coffee, it's like copi, louac or something like that. Yeah, something like that. And we, we, we brewed up a bag yesterday. Yeah, can we say, first off, thank you so much to Raven Adonis for sending us the truffle of coffees. And yeah, so we, so you made us two cups of coffee yesterday.

We made a command decision that we were gonna put poop coffee in our mouths and we did. And it was delicious. It was as good as they say. It was easily the best cup of coffee I've ever had in my life. Easily. That kind of stuff never, ever, ever lives up to the hype. That definitely lived up to the hype. I didn't know that there was a coffee that tasted that much better than the rest of coffee.

Yeah. It was like, it was unbelievable. It was like super, like everyone always says, you know, the, I guess the digestive enzyme of that monkey or whatever removes the acidity from the coffee, but there was no acidity. Like, like, you can't make that connection till he tasted it. I didn't realize how much acidity ruins coffee until I had that coffee. So I had the complete absence of it.

So did this poop coffee ruin other coffee for you now? Like, you're gonna have to only drink the poop coffee? Well, no, because I'm not a billionaire. But, I think that's what I worked out that like each cup we had was like a $15 cup of coffee. Yeah, I think yeah, Matt said he came in like a $12 cup of coffee or something. Yeah, you walked in after drinking and your eyes were lit up.

You were really, really impressed by that. I couldn't believe it. There was also no like oil or film on top of the coffee. Like normally when you get a cup of coffee like I'm looking at yours here Jeff, you can see the oil on it from the beans and the roast, but there was no oil at all for some reason on that coffee. It was even when you were making it because you have your science method to make coffee and you were saying it was even the easiest coffee you'd ever made.

It was different. Yeah. It was a good extraction. So I, uh, that sounds kind of gross. Uh, I want to go into Gus's office someday and see this setup from like, uh, from the guy from Breaking Bad. What? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't coffee. I mean I got I never in a million years would have expected It's a little up to the height, but it did if you have an opportunity Wherever you live to try a cup of Shit coffee you should absolutely do it. Yeah, it doesn't taste anything like shit. No no shit taste it all the I believe he got the coffee he sent us from think geek so I'll put that in a link dump No, you want to ruin all of the coffee for yourself. Go buy that.

So good. Yeah, it really will. It was so good. It's almost like the burgers from a hot-doty. They're so damn good. I kind of ruins other cheat burgers. I don't know why that happened. You need a hot-doty was good.

You guys must have had a bad day or something. The hot-doty is consistent. It's consistently the best burger I've had in a long, long time. It's good, but we're best with a lot of good burgers and all that's true. Yeah, I think it might be too fancy of a burger for me. I like things a little more simple. Like I really like Hillbirds.

Yeah, it's great. When I go to hopdadi, I get like just a bacon cheddar burger. And it's like this super simple and the bacon and it's fantastic. It's good, but until I have like, like the difference between a there are very many a lot of good burgers and all this different kinds of burgers. Yeah.

Different kinds of burgers. It's totally depends on what you feel like. I still think probably casino is the single best burger experience you can have in Austin. But you did again you also don't always want to eat a hamburger that's the size of a car. Did you read in holiday house? No, but Bernie tells me that that place was terrible. Yeah, that place was not terrible. That place was alright. Yeah, it's pretty good. He said it's overrated. No, well it's gone now, so you'll know. You'll never be able to find out. Yeah, yeah. And we talked about that, about how that that fitness place closed it down. Well, no, the person that owns that shopping center is like super hard

corvian. Yeah. And they closed them down because they served me. Maybe they're like 30 something years. Yeah, sorry. Pulling your lease. Yeah, no I see you think hop that he's the best burger in Austin. I think so I think so Yeah, I mean like you said there aren't quite a few really really good burgers. I mean P Terry's water even water burgers Freaking good or like mighty fine. Yeah, or I mean that's there's no absence of I fucking yeah, yeah, fucking great I'd like to go there. I know you do. I know you do.

It's a wheel spinning. You can't do it, buddy. I know, it's too far away from the office. I'm sure everyone's the mind of where we say it will talk about. It's fascinated about the food choices available to us around the office. People love it. So I saw the other day that a passenger on a southwest flight became enraged and started throwing peanuts at flight attendants.

And got a rookie. Really? Yeah. What Southwest flight was that? I believe it was LA to Salt Lake City. Huh. Yeah, I guess it was someone brought electronic cigarette out and tried to smoke it during the flight and kept telling him to put it out and he got so many start throwing peanuts

at people. What if someone had a peanut allergy? It could have been a irresponsible. It could have been a dangerous situation. You know, there was a medical emergency on the flight that griffin took out to San Diego. Oh, yeah. Yeah, like she couldn't get off the plane. They had to bring in like the fire department. Oh, yeah, sorry. We depend that.

Yeah, I'm sure she fucking loved that. Yeah, she said they were hot. So whoop, de fucking do. I bet you wish you were out there now. Yeah, I love me some hot firefighter. I'm talking to you to assert, your, your, your relationship. I have no, I like this way your mind was said is protecting your wife. You're like, oh yeah, a hot firefighter. It's just from one of medical emergency. That you probably had a heart attack.

I think she's safe. To the firefighters, card her off. Yeah, no kidding. Then that's it. She lives a Comic Con. Yeah, I'm not, I'm not, I don't get worried in those situations, because A, there's nothing I can do about it anyway. And B, my wife is pretty mean when dude's like trying to hit on her.

She's a, I think Gus and I saw caught a little of that at Pax. She doesn't seize this here. She doesn't put up with it. And then like if she did uh, another wife right? Apparently that's not that hard to find. Wow. I'm kidding. Wow. Well, I hope she I hope I hope Griffin's enjoying the podcast. I love being here. What's going to be the big Comic Con thing this year? Is it Cowboys Nalians? I think it's probably going to be Cowboys Nalians, right? Okay. You think so I wonder if this is gonna be a big push for something that doesn't come out till next year Because I

I always feel like Comic-Con is like right during the peak of the movie season and if they promote stuff It's like it comes out the next week or two weeks later. I feel like a couple years ago. They did avatar You know like yeah, I guess maybe Yeah, well what else come coming Sherlock Holmes is coming out that's coming out here on December mission possible is coming out right on then I don't know if either of those would be like For some reason they don't they don't strike me as comic-con movies though. I don't know why they probably totally should dark night rises comes out next year Yeah, yeah, the teaser barely you know for that last week. Oh, I bet it's Spider-Man I bet they've moved a shit out of spider-Man. No, no, Spider-Man teaser just came out this little leak. Yeah, which is just unfortunate

Yeah, yeah, I think they have the official version up already. Don't they like not the Spider-Man one? I didn't see it. I just saw the really there's a lot of something lately like the um so at the end of the Captain America movie Apparently like the post-roll little PS clip is the Avengers trailer. And that leaked out already, a cell phone camera leaked out. Oh really? It's funny, because apparently, I guess Paramount, right, they do those movies. Paramount showed the critics the movie, like they showed, they had a press screening, and they removed that clip from the press screening for fear that it would leak out.

And then they had a fan screening and like four cell phone cameras got it. Well, of course. So it's like, why would you hide that from the critics? Which, you know, you know, they're names. Yeah, that's what they're right for. And they go, well, what are the fans in? Um, huh. Yeah, I try to avoid that stuff. Like, I know the Dark Knight Rises teaser got leaked, you know, like that as well.

But I waited for the official version to come out. Because I didn't want to see it, like, I didn want to see a crappy muddy picture version with horrible audio. I did the same thing, but I watched the crappy muddy version with horrible audio for Spider-Man, because I didn't realize I was watching a, but once it started, I wasn't going to turn it off, you know. Yeah, man. You couldn't. Yeah, exactly. Your browser locked up or something happened. They're comparing this Spider-Man sort of like the, the Christopher Nolan, like Batman

series, like a lot darker. So let me ask you a question. Did you guys like Are they eliminating the dance sequence? In the flip collar Do you spider-man two was so good and spider-man three was so bad so bad That's the only part of that movie We're gonna say you're gonna ask us a question. Oh, what did you guys think of the dark night trailer? Inside the Batman teaser dark night dark night rises. Yeah, it's not enough for me to get a grasp on I couldn't understand a fucking word Gary Olman said then I had a lot of trouble understanding him too. Yeah

He was all I I heard him say at one point I heard him say like you've got to come back Yeah, that's all the rest of it was just like Chew it on marble. He basically said something along lines of we work together then you were gone No now Keep going on here. It's now now villains rise or now now darkness rises or something And we need the Batman back. I hear Batman.

I love you the funniest thing you've ever said. I will say coolest posts I've ever seen in my life. And I'll post it. Did you see the Minecraft recreation? No, I was so scared. I did that poster in Minecraft saying people will do anything in Minecraft. Did you see that the three posters mixed together into one? No.

Like someone took the Batman begins Dark Knight Dark Knight rises posters mixed together into one? No. Like someone took the Batman begins, dark night, dark night rises, and mixed them into one poster. Because like it's the same logo across the board, but it looks pretty cool actually. Oh really? Sounds awesome. Since this is the trilogy, the trilogy is ending. So does that mean Christopher Nolan is not attached to any more movies? And neither is Nolan and Bale are both gone after this. Bailing? Yes, it's okay.

Well, it's interesting. I wonder if the studio will be able to change their minds. The fucking Dark Knight was so awesome and made so much money. Yeah, it was really good. Harry Potter broke the record though, right? Yeah. Big stop any weekend and broke the Dark Knight's record? Crushed all records.

And deservedly so. It's a fantastic film. I still haven't seen the last few movies. Yeah, nice. I forgot where I stopped. Yeah, yeah. I think he stopped it. I think he's the last one he stopped was five.

If I remember to, you have half-flip prints and then the deathly hell is one and two. Yeah, see you're three back. Yeah, that sounds about right. Worth, worth sitting through the other two, just for this one. They're both okay, but this movie is fucking great. Yeah.

God. You forget how much you miss the actual Hogwarts, how much you miss the school, and then like the second shot of this movie is the school. So it's like, yeah, I took Millie to see it, which was questionable. But I read a, I did, as a responsible parent, I did a lot of reading online, and a lot of like, there's parental like advocacy groups where they have forums and they'll talk about what's appropriate for kids and shit. And everybody seemed to think that it was okay.

And so I took Millie and she was totally fine. There was only one scene in the movie that I thought was a little rough. Two scenes. I think I can, I know one of them. The Snape scene and then in the white room with the thing on the ground, were both a little questionable, but Millie didn't give shit.

She wasn't confused about the plot. I mean, just jumping in the last movie. But her whole commentary on the ground were a little questionable but milleting of shit she wasn't confused about the plot i mean just jumping in the last book commentary on the movie was uh... i think we're back to Hogwarts we're going to Hogwarts they are not work yet like she that kid leave saying that like that's the whole movie to her is just them being in Hogwarts and she was really dissatisfied with the first like twenty minutes don't don't show her the house part one yeah no kidding she's gonna be fucking pissed

but she's older realize she was in Orlando right after I know very potterworld open. She uh She also latched on something that I thought was pretty funny like she's seen the first movie the second movie not the last one um and she Ever since the movie runs around the house playing professor McGonacl Like I don't know why she chose the oldest person in the movie to be to emulate but she runs around the house like going, I'm a McGonacall and I'm a McGonacall and zapping the dog and shit.

Not her mindy or hairy or Ron or any of those guys. Weird. What? Do you have any idea why? No clue. Maybe she does like the name. Maybe she just likes to say the name. She just started doing it like a

Dave for yesterday. Got it. Makes me think of McGarnagall. What is that? McGarnagall I think right? I don't even know what I'm thinking of. It's the life of his nails cop McGarnagall right. Was it? Yeah, that's not a Rick Sutherland. Rainier Wolf Castle. Yeah, he plays McGarnagall right. Like it's a character he played. I thought it was McBain. Yeah, I'm not a rick saw the rules. Rainier Wolf Castle? Yeah, he plays McGonagall, right? Like it's a character he plays. I thought it was McBain. Yeah.

A McBain? McBain's. McBain's. McBain is Rainier Wolf Castle. I'm gonna get you on the Google. Maybe I just made something up. I don't know. All right, we'll vamp.

Yeah. Queer Gibo. Queer Gibo. All right, so what's new with you Jack? Not much. Just plain some video games. I'm much of a stoffer time. Continue to stoff this. Oh, McGonagall was the dirty Harry rip off. Yeah, okay cool. Who played him?

Oh, I don't know. It's like it's a it's a guy who looks like Speaking of it. Speaking of it. Speaking of it. I'm right there of characters and quotes. Jeff and I made a video yesterday We did it. This is for Calvora as the cartel and proceeded to misquote and miss like we anyway we trolled the commenters basically. Yeah, we just had a bunch of wrong pop culture references for fun and we kept getting more ridiculous and then talking about how we were doing it in the video and pointing out that we were doing it in the video and still a couple thousand people didn't get it. The YouTube comments are pretty awesome.

They're furious with us for misquoting Bugs Bunny. I think my favorite, like there was a comments one wrote is like, I can't believe you got all those quotes wrong, Gus and Ben. You win, you win the comments. That's it. Yeah. But I think I got hit with spam until I got pulled off Oh, well But yeah, that was one video. Yeah, it was let's say I love you. How is color war is we played much more of it?

I just played the first level I keep wanting to call that game color duty war is I know that's not right No, it's not right. It's okay, you know, I've only played the first level. I It's a it's a FPS, you know all FPSes are generally about the same to me What is it like? What is it about is it a Western or is it like about drug trafficking or you know like

Trying to take down a drug cartel and you're like a special operations unit that was the government put together I guess is an in name Warris? No, but it takes place near Warris. And then it's like one of those games where you can play this three. There's like a three person co-op online co-op actually, because there's three characters in the game. And you just pick a cop or like a dude with a duster jacket or some chick, and then you shoot a bunch of people with guns. It's fun.

Nice. If you like shooting people with guns, you like this game. It's like a modern adaptation of Douglas MacArthur's journey into Mexico. Digg. Nobody's gonna get that. But you should seriously do some reading. American Caesar. Good book. I think we bring up that book.

Learn about the learn about your country. You shoot a ton of SUVs. Like I blew up like 30 SUVs in the first 10 minutes of the game for some reason. Like the game, the developers hate SUVs. So the car tells loves SUVs. So it makes up like 30 SUVs in the first 10 minutes of the game for some reason. Like the game, the developers hate SUVs. So the car tell loves SUVs, so it makes sense. Yeah, they do. They keep all their guns and their drugs in the back. Yeah.

And their kids. In order to soccer practice. From what I can tell. Oh, no. From what I can tell, like the game begins with a car chase, right? There's something like the absolute first thing you do is like you pop into the game and say, all right, you're in the middle of a car chase. Yeah, that's kind of cool.

No, it is cool. It's cool. You like start right in the middle of the action. Yeah. You don't know who you are yet or anything. Just like the game starts and they're like, hang out the window and kill people. And you're like, okay, sure. I can do that.

The hook grabs you. It's kind of cool. I got a guy downloaded the O world blues DLC for New Vegas yesterday. Oh yeah. And there was a title update as well for New Vegas. And like I talked about last last podcast I've always had Loading time issues and someone suggested I delete a lot of my saves that maybe I had too many saves

So I don't know what fixed it, but it's fixed really the title update fixed it or deleting some of my saves fixed it But it loads an acceptable amount of time final wow Yeah, it's an acceptable amount of time and What's the plot of old world old world blues? I only played for a couple hours, but you essentially go to like a research lab, think of it like a Sandia National Laboratories or something like that, where it's like this think tank that's been isolated from the rest of the world and like the scientists are fighting with each other. And you need to help one group of scientists

collect technology to defeat another scientist. Oh cool, except that they're not people. They're like floating brains with monitors for eyes and mouths. That's cool. So it's all tech-heavy then? Yeah, cool. It's interesting.

I felt like when you first started and you first dealing with the scientists, they talk for a long fucking time. I Probably listen and talk for happen hour But why start playing the game? So you actually listen to the people talk and stuff and you get you get the plot of it Yeah, cuz Jeff just skips over everything. It depends on what I'm doing kind of drives me nuts Well, it depends on what I'm doing if I'm if I'm at work and I'm playing for Work to make videos as quickly as possible, then I'm not gonna waste a lot of time on cutscenes

I love the fall at university. Yeah, so I want to learn all that stuff when I played fall at three at home playing for work to make videos as quickly as possible than I'm not gonna waste a lot of time on cutscenes. I love the Fallout universe. Yeah, so I wanna learn all that stuff. When I played Fallout 3 at home, or when I played Mass Effect at home, I go through every piece of dialogue I can because I get immersed in the story, but I don't have the luxury of that

when I'm at the office. There's a race in the clock. You were racing the clock so much this morning, you played as the wrong football team though I was I was exporting some videos and so I threw a mad in 09 because I had one achievement left to get in that game And I forget I just get it to get a 550 total passing yards with the Tennessee Titans Not hard to do so I set the game up, I start playing it.

I didn't set the quarters long enough so I didn't think I was gonna be able to do it, but I thought, fuck it, I'll try it, I had two minute quarters. I got my 550 with like 30 seconds left on the clock and it's been about 15 minutes playing it. And the fucking achievement didn't pop. And I was sitting there and I was like, wow, come on, I know these mad games can be buggy,

but what the hell? And I'm sitting there scratching I was like, wow, come on, I know these mad games can be buggy, but what the hell? And I'm sitting there scratching my head for the longest time trying to figure it out. And then I realized I was playing as the colch for some reason. No, no idea what. It's so easy to pass with this guy. God damn it, manning, what's going on here? I can see where he made the blue and white, you know? Well, also, uh, Peyton Manning and, uh,

what's his face look a lot of like? What's that guy's name? Vincent. Peyton Manning and Vincent can be twins. Clearly. Yeah. So, um, I forgot to mention this when we talked about Comic Con earlier. Uh, that apparently there is a, um,

Hilo universe panel that Bernie will be sitting on, in on, uh, Friday morning at Comic Con. Yeah, and then Griffin's on a panel with Frank O'Connor and somebody from Twisted Pixel on Thursday or Friday as well. Really? Comic's panel, right? Yeah, it's about like, I have to find it and link them, but yeah, it's Griffin, Frank O'Connor, the CEO of Twisted Pixel, and then someone else, and they're talking about like mixing like translating like translating stories from video games to comics and back and forth I guess.

It's kind of cool. Aren't you on a comic panel here in town? You're the best. Oh yeah, yeah, what was that? Like so you were defending Batman? Man is that what it was? Man. So come on nerd boy, let's talk about it.

I'm going to do a quick introduction. Okay. We know some people who are beginning in Prophecyne here locally. Some very good friends of ours. Yeah, yeah, they've been in some of our shorts before. And so far characters and reverses blue too. Yeah, absolutely.

And a few weeks ago, one of them came up to me and he's like, hey, Gus, do you know a lot about comic books? And I was like, no, not really. I've never read a comic book in my life. He goes, oh, that's too bad, I go, why? He was, oh, because I was looking for someone to sit in on this panel about comic books, talking about their experience with comics. I was like, you need to talk to Jeff. So I sent him over to Jeff. Yeah, they're always asking us in the office if we want to sit in and on like the improv

things or like they do these shows. They're really improv but like tell the grossest stories you know or like just different they're cool events and it usually doesn't work out because we're lazy or we're busy working or you know or it's not a week. Lazy or busy. Yeah, one of the two and but no I like he asked me and I thought is one of those things also too where we're really good at saying yes to stuff like six months out, because we're like, yeah, it's so far away, yeah. Yeah.

And uh, and I said yes, and then it happened that it, that that show actually existed, and I had to be a part of it. And that was Sunday night. And uh, yeah, it was, I think this show's called like the greatest show ever, or the greatest something ever, and then every month, they debate a different topic like next

month is gonna be I think like the best John Hughes movie ever and last time it was like what's the best chick flick ever and so they do that kind of thing a lot okay like best doctor who like that kind of stuff and then they get like I'm using air quotes here for the people who are listening to the radio The radio and by radio I mean podcast podcast destroyed radio. I mean experts and so yeah I really didn't know what to expect and they just asked me to pick a superhero that I thought was the best superhero So I picked Batman for a myriad of reasons and Totally fucking forgot about it and didn't plan about it at all because I

don't know if you're gonna be like a wrist-dief panel where you just go up and kind of wing it and say some dumb shit and make a laugh and they're good and proceeded to get really drunk that day that Sunday while there's like barbeque and stuff didn't even think about it. I think if it reminded me that she's like I don't even have to go to this thing in like 20 minutes, I'm like, oh fuck right. Girl, I should think about that. And so I haven't read a comic book in 10 years maybe. I mean, I've read like the occasional comic here and there,

but I collected a lot until I was about 30, well, I'm about 28. And I still had like 10,000 comics I don't know what to do with. But yeah, I haven't thought about comic books in a very, very little in a decade probably. And I went there and I thought, no, this shouldn't be a big deal. And then I see the people I'm up against, and two of them are in costume.

Or the dress. One of them was dressed up as Spider-Man, and some girl was dressed up as Jean Grey. And I was like, she's got a Jean Grey costume. That cannot be good for me. I'm not going to vote well. And then the other guy picked Rogue, and I was like, these guys are not picking the most like the one guy picked Spider-Man

I'm like, okay, I was expecting that level like I'm gonna pick Superman Then they start picking they start going into the into the universe and pulling people out, you know and I thought I wonder if this is gonna be a problem then It starts it's like an hour hour and a half long event It starts where like you have to cope in front of them in front of this crowd and there were a lot of people there and It starts where like you have to cope in front of the crowd and there were a lot of people there and Give like a two-minute speech on why you're super here is the best superhero Not prepared for that and Being in school again. Yeah, I was like giving a book report and so the first guy goes up and he gives this Spider-Man speech

And I was like oh shit It was prepared and Griffin looked at me and she goes, you are fucked. And I was like, I think I am. And then the second speech was okay and the third speech was okay. And so I felt a little bit better. So then when I went up, and by this point, they had already given me my free drink tickets, which I used immediately.

So I went up with like two beers in my hand and just hammered. And these people are looking at me like I'm an asshole. And I am. So there's looking at you. Yeah, and I had to tell them why Batman was the best superhero. So I just made up a ton of nonsense about how he was like, he takes in all these young rent boys and makes some superheroes. So it's like kind of like the like the pedophile version of the big brothers and makes

this just my very good. And like I just off my, I just completely off the cuff, like, pulled, was just pulling dumb shit out of my ass about how like, he's created this alter ego that requires him to bang a different supermodel every night and he's doing it for America and like, all these sacrifices he's made. And I was like, and that one okay, I thought. And then we sit down and we have these panel discussions where they like ask you pointed questions and you have to like defend your position and I said some dumb joke or some silly thing

The first thing I said and the guy next to me launched into like some Batman history shit that I didn't know about it was going and going and going and I thought like I This is a make-or-break moment for me if I kill I'm in the If I can't pull myself out of this, I'm tailspinning. I am going to burn on the stage. And I made a joke about how he was never going to get laid because he was wearing a Spider-Man costume and was in his parents' basement. Which went over really well because it couldn't have.

And because a lot of these people in the audience, I think, might have been in a similar situation. But that was also the one joke I had to make. And I shot my lot in the first five seconds So I know this is not gonna go well you sang your web, but it yeah I spun my web immediately and But now it went okay and After that and I just got progressively drunker and more ridiculous and I won Yeah, I didn't know about that either.

At the end, the audience votes on who they thought made the best case for the best superhero, and they give you a trophy. And I won the trophy. You're like, what's a trophy? They made me give it back. What? Because they used it each month, I guess. Oh.

Give a photo of the trophy? No. Oh. No. Are you sure you won or did they just vote for the drunkest? No, no. No, because I thought maybe that was the case or like maybe it was just like RVB fans being like As soon as they are sure you have the door they have the real code in ceremony But no, I was talking a lot of shit about DC and how DC has terrible heroes and terrible villains and Batman's really Batman and his

His cast of villains are really the only redeemable characters in the DC universe for the most part and cast of villains are really the only redeemable characters in the DC universe for the most part. And uh, which got a lot of booze and did not go well with the audience and then a lot of people came up and talked to me and explained to me that they voted for me because I made good points, but they, they, we had to have a discussion about like, fucking suicide squad and how great they are and the doom patrol and why wasn't I thinking about that? And I was just like, I don't know what, I don't, I'm, I'm sorry. I'm, I pissing people off. And I had to hear what it was. I'm I'm sorry I'm I'm pissing people off and I had to hear it. It's a powerful

and it's a powerful and it's a powerful and it's down to the comic book shop. But yeah, no, it was so do you have to finish your title now like you know the one. Yeah, they also if they made him go to the best John Hughes. Yeah, I know like if the winner of the previous. Yeah, I'm not just going to the next one. I'm gonna I'm gonna take my victory and go into retirement. Where was the challenge? It was at the high ball.

Oh nice. Yeah, it was actually a cool location. But yeah, I was in way over my head and I got very, very lucky and fortunate not to get crucified and made to look like a complete and total asshole on stage. Oh, and maybe I did. Yeah, he probably did. At least. If you were on stage, you probably were total ass. When they went to film this. I'm not. I don't know. I can find it. Yeah, absolutely. YouTube here I come.

No. I know Griffin took a photo of it at one point. Yeah. Where'd you trying to keep Griffin at home? I didn't want her to go. I didn't want her to watch me making an asshole on myself. Nothing. She went around my back and got a babysitter. Didn't tell me about it. And I was getting ready to go and she was like, I'm coming with you. I'm like what no Nothing turns a woman on like hearing her significant other argue about who's the greatest comic book She mentioned that actually she said that it I this was a one-time thing But if I ever want to get laid again no more Whatever she's in a nerdy stuff to yeah exactly she

She would jump at the chance to debate fucking Star Trek, so... Or Doctor Who. Doctor Who, I've never been able to figure things out. I've never been able to get to Doctor Who. It's good, Chef. Yeah? Yeah, you guys, you know, watching it, but uh... I watched a lot as a kid, like I'm PBS, you know?

But the new series of Doctor Who is really, really good. Yeah. I just got into the latest season, season six. I hadn't watched any of the other ones. Where do you watch Doctor Who is it on PBS? No, I watch it on, well, I think you watch it on BBC America, but I watch it on Zoom Marketplace. Like I started watching it because my mom wanted to see the new season when she was in town.

So I watched the whole season. It's tremendous. And Apple does not fall far from the tree. I guess not. Neil Gaiman wrote an episode this season. It's good. Really good. That's some good shows coming back on TV right now.

New hell's kitchen is on. New master's show. I'm really Louise back. Louise back. Breaking bad just started again. I want to talk about a few of those. I'm not feeling health kitchen this year. I feel like it's just a bunch of despicable people.

I agree. And there's no one like me. Once again, it always starts like that though. It always starts like that and you'll find someone probably four or five episodes in. It's like, okay, that's the change. They'll change the way they're editing that person to make them look more appealing.

No, you're 100% right. And they should not run, what, a health kitchen? Yeah, they should not run health kitchen and master chef back to back. No. Because you watch all these people that are fucking professional cooks that are fucking professional cooks,

that are line cooks, and like sous chefs in major restaurants, they don't know what the fuck they're doing and look like complete assholes, and then you put on a show where a stay-at-home dad makes like the best meal Gordon Rand has ever eaten, and you're like, okay, the people on Hell's Kitchen are obviously actors, and none of them have any real relationships. It seems like it's all bullshitting. I don't know. No, no, no, no, way. I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other way.

I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other way.

I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other way.

I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other way. I have no other bro constantly. I don't know if I can watch the season. It's like each season gets more and more crazy. With Dick Kursy, more yelling, more yelling to the other's face. More like, you'll also notice two more skin each season. Yeah, absolutely. They sexy it up. Yeah.

Yeah. So I'm not a fan. No, I'm not feeling it either. No fuckers like. Normally I like it, but this year I'm not. There's that like one chick. I don't remember her name. It seems like she knew what she was doing

and then everybody else in the show is, I think I'm a better cook then. But breaking bad. I know you and I think are the only people in this office who watch it. Well Adam is now watching it. Like he's catching up on it. So maybe within a month or so he'll be caught up

to where we are now. This is the first season I'm watching as it comes out, you know up on it. So maybe within a month or so, he'll be caught up to where we are now. This is the first season I'm watching as it comes out, you know, up until now. I barely watched the first three seasons, I think, like last October or something. Yeah. And I watched them all. And it sucks having to wait week to week to see a new episode. It's good before I just fucking clapped through it. I see. I did that. I bought the Blue Race for Dexter for season one and two were on Netflix. And then I took a the blue rays for Dexter for season one and two were on Netflix and then I took a break because the next seasons three four and five were not on Netflix. So I finally just broke down as I screwed and I just went and bought the

the blue rays and I watched season three and one weekend and season four and one weekend. Now it's like season five is not on blue ray yet and season six hasn't started yet. It's like, God damn it. Yeah, I'm never going to do that again by the way. What what you guys are what you're going through right now like so plan I was killed killed that for me I will wait till the show is off the air and then like I'm totally plan on watching Breaking Bad after it's finished it's wrong and I can watch it all along it's so good because I just I can't do it I can't like the shield was the same way you just sit around you have like a series of small heart attacks for an hour and then you have to wait seven fucking days to do it again I think

Breaking Bad might be my favorite TV show since the shield. That's a Hi, Chris. Yeah, did you ever watch the wire? Mm-hmm. Yeah, did you see the eye Carly clip the homage to the wire? So eye Carly is like this Nickelodeon. Oh, I'm very familiar with Amanda Cosgrew. Yeah, so apparently I didn't watch the wire. I don't watch eye Carly But apparently there was a scene where I guess some girl like Spitz, like inked some guys forehead, and they make a reference to a scene from the wire.

Oh really? Oh really? It's like, how's my hair look? And then she shoots him. Yeah, I don't know, I've only seen season one of the wire, so I might not know that reference. Oh yes. Anyway, it was pretty funny.

I call this pretty good show. If you have a daughter. Okay. I don't think I do. But if you're forced to watch kids shows, like you can do a lot worse, you can be stuck watching like wizards of Waverly plays or like I was stuck in a hospital waiting room a few months ago for several hours. And the TV was like there was a fucking I Carly marathon. I probably watch I Carly marathon. I probably watched I Carly for like eight fucking hours.

You know what I'm talking about. I wanted to stab myself in a fucking face. Dude, it gets so much worse. It could have been Zoe 101 or one of those or Hannah Montana. I Carly is like, I Carly and Dracon Josh, or at least. I know, wait, you're so. I was what I Carly. Thank you for that fucking day.

You guys are probably too old, but did you guys watch like, Clurse explains it all and all that and all that stuff on Nickelodeon my little sister did you now They're bringing those back apparently there's new Nickelodeon channel like teen Nick or something and they're bringing back like all that and all those shows To really start showing them at night now so Brandon will be fucking Yeah, so I remember like are you afraid of the dark and all those shows? Yeah, I don't know any of that stuff. Never heard of that stuff. You like double there. I mean, you watch double there, right?

Yeah, of course. Yeah, like that's kind of stuff. I could be showing on there. That's cool. Mark's. I mean, I'm not seven anymore, so I probably will walk in. But you have a daughter who's in that age range. Yeah, that's true.

That's gonna be nostalgic for you. No. Come on. You never wanted to be on double there when you were a kid? Yeah, everybody wanted to be on double there when they were a kid? Yeah, everybody wanted to be on double there. See? You want to be on double there and you want to be on American gladiators. Man, that was always a thing.

Yeah. I wanted to fire that fucking pneumatic rocket launcher. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I'm going to do the shooting you with tennis balls. I mean, I want to do you the hamster ball. Like, how can we get, can we get Gryffind and make one of those for a short or something just to level?

You probably rent those, I bet. Do you think so? like the big metal ones? Yeah, why not? Oh man. I want to get the ones that they make that are made out of clear plastic. They're actually like big bounty balls that you can roll down mountains on. You push down hill mountains. Maybe not a mountain.

I wanted to fucking, I wanted to Everest. It was a save one. There was a Jackie Chan movie like that. Wasn't the beginning of Operation Condor like that. I think Jackie Chan's in one of those at the top of mountain I don't know like rolls all the way down I think there's a place in your Bronfels where you can do that like to take you out to the hill country and you can get in one of those and Roll around I want to know about it. I want to do it if it exists

I want to do it Jack actually turned me on to something that I'm going to take millie to this weekend. Oh, yeah There's a fucking place that just opened up in North Austin that has a 10,000 square foot trampoline? trampoline. And it's like in the walls or slope, too. So like the trampoline goes up and it's all ages. So basically you walk into a warehouse and the floor of this giant warehouse is a trampoline. Where is this?

It's in North Austin, like a Burnett and 183, I think. We're going. So I'm going to be the best dad on the fucking planet. And there's another opening of another one of William can in a thirty five pretty soon which i guess used to be a target or something like over i think we're that the walmart used to be on the east side of thirty five uh-huh over by the theater and stuff oh i think they're opening one up there okay i think it's called jump lean or something like that yeah yeah i didn't realize the trampoline was a

business model apparently it is sounds awesome though yeah i'm excited. But did you find out about this place? Reddit, the Austin subreddit. Oh, oh no. Yeah. See if you go to reddit.com slash r slash Austin is all Austin really really good stuff. You know I never really read those subreddits I only ever really look at like the front page and like a couple of pages back.

She's

she's she's super excited. You know, so nervous. When I said the thing about gripping Furries, it reminded me of something I saw on an actual show up to you. This is something we're gonna need to buy for gripping when it comes out. But remember that Star Wars Force trainer, that toy, where you would like put the thing on your head and you could like make a ball move up and down. I guess there's this new thing where it's like a headband with cat ears, but it's got that same mind reading thing. So when you're happy, like the cat ears are up, or when you're stressed stressed or sad the caddies go down and they move around it's unbelievable it's like the first thing you guys showed to me and the first thing he said is like get ready to see 10,000 of those that every con you go to we're

gonna see a fucking million of those things every convention I'm just gonna go ahead and guess the caddies never go up take a guess what country do you think they were invented him?

There's a cameo by Bernie Berkens. And now let's be back to being depressed.

Alright, that's healing. Yeah thanks for fucking dragging us down. So I saw this headline the other day. Okay. And I thought it was a joke but apparently it's real. I just saw your headline. Space Invaders movie set to reboot franchise. Man, when I think of franchises that need to be rebooted, Space Invaders. Oh man, what the fuck?

Wasn't there a Space Invaders movie with like, where those like the little Martians came to, that small town city, an area on something from Jurassic Park was in it. I want to say it was like a Joe Dante movie or something like that. It was a movie that came back It was a movie that came out in like the Early to to mid 90s wasn't there a movie called space that's it space to space. Okay. Yeah. There you go. Yeah. Sorry. Wow Thank you. Thank you. I'm not sure I've never been heard of I have to talk about like Mac and me and some good reason. Yeah, I don't think it was of the quality of Mac and me Just FY no Mac and me is fantastic any movie with a dance scene in a McDonald's come on It was like that ET was huge

We'd like to make something like that God damn we can't get he like oh yeah, whatever that we're terrible. Yeah, it's Reese's PCs Art's like Reese's cups And McDonald's french fries It's like they tried to work out the licensing deals ahead of time I always think whenever I think of that movie. I always think of space camp as well Oh, yeah, that's a great film because I always think of that little robot that like let's them go into space Yep, I made my mom take me to see that like four times that year the movie came out

Because I mean, I now only go to space camp after that because I was obviously gonna get to go to space Yeah, I wanted to go to space camp to space camp still exist No, yeah, but they make room for shuttle. Yeah, it's in it was an Alan Bama right among army Alabama Mm-hmm. You show up and they fire 30% of the kids. But seriously, our thoughts are with our families. It's not a good time to be laid off. No, the good time to be in the space industry. Yeah. Yeah, we're in the government space industry. I guess private space industry is probably taking off. When is a virgin galactic started? Does anyone know next year? I think it is. Space ship too, right? So the future starts next year.

It's what you're doing. Yeah, I'm looking. Right before everything ends. I was trying to build a spaceship to get off Earth before it explodes in 2012. I'm looking at Virgin Galactic launch date. The launch date has never seemed like a more appropriate chart than when dealing with Virgin Galactic.

Literally a launch date. They've been doing tests and stuff on the new ship. And like the flutter or the feather thing that it does because the wings go up and that's how it comes back in Earth. Like they tested that and it was successful. So things are going well from what I understand. I think flights are supposed to be like $100,000 to go up. I thought there were going to be like $10,000.

Oh really? I thought it was going to be like a little more affordable. Maybe that's maybe not initially. Um, yeah. I heard a news report on seeing in the other day they were talking about the the final spatial mission. They're having an official launch date yet by the way. It's too bad. And it being a astronaut didn't seem that that glamorous to me after that because we were talking about how their big mission today was to fix the toilet. In space. Yeah. And then like, in space, that toilet maintenance went exceptionally well. That's just like, do you bring the plunger? Oh shit. There's no

Home Depot up there. No space janitor. No space janitor. That's got to suck. Like, dealing with a lot of that shit is just mind boggling.oggling. Like say you're on a spacewalk and you, like it happened, right? Like that, actually I was on the spacewalk, not this time, like last year or two years ago. Let go of the wrench and the wrench started floating away and there's no way you can ever get that wrench back. Yeah, that wrench is gone forever. It's gone, because like they don't have propulsion, like they're just floating, you know,

in orbit as well. It's like it's gone. You can never be able to reach it. That's wild, it's fucked up. Like you cannot lose your tools. They need to take a bunch of those straps from the We-Motes, and they're like, I'm trapped in everything, and they're like, alright, tighten it up. Okay, surprise me, everything isn't already attached to whoever's holding it.

There's not a little string going from the wrench, hope to a belt or something. Like a Batman-style utility belt, that. Really go a long way up there. For some reason this reminds me of that, the world's most pointless and shortest scene in a video game in Modern War for two. Oh yeah. You played as an astronaut for seven seconds. They think you must have done that just for the trailer.

Just for the trailer, right? I think the shot was longer in the trailer than it was in the game. It was really bizarre. I got so excited when I got to that point in the game I can finally play it and then I was like what? Yeah, Mother or for three comes out this year right in November do there so many fucking videos coming out Comes out the week after battlefield three. I feel like we're in a bit of a low right now

Yeah, or right right now is a slow time packs is when it starts picking up again like Like you'll start seeing stuff. And then once we hit what, October, it just gets. September. It's stupid and September. Yeah, it's so stupid. We're next game. I'm looking forward to I think it's Dead Island,

which is in September. Yeah, it's a, like, I think it's retail game. I should say. I think the week of August 30th is when things start to pick up again. Um, which brings us to an uncomfortable conversation. There's no video games to cover, so I'm going to have to lay you off. But as a reasonably sure, I can hire you back in September, Jack.

Okay. Thank you. Now, when is Halo CE anniversary coming out? I think it's November 15th. I think it's the anniversary of the original Xbox Onch day. Do you guys see what they- Halo really do. Do you see what they announced officially yesterday? Maybe you guys won't care about this. Is it a priori bonus for a hill? A C? No, I saw that so that was cool, but uh

Gold and I reloaded is coming to Xbox and PS3. Oh, yeah It's all it's like a remake like an HD remade They they remade it on the Wii and then they've gone through and they updated their graphics again and they're gonna release it Uh, are you sure about are you sure? That's what it is. I know it like there's rumors of that. Is it official now? Okay, I read it yesterday. That's cool. That's cool. I'm excited. I don't it. Are you sure about it? Are you sure that's what it is? I know there's rumors of that. Is it official now? Okay. I read it yesterday. That's cool.

I'm excited, I don't know, I'm excited about that. I like Golden Island a lot and it's one of those games that I'd love to go back and play but I'm not gonna dig up a fucking N64 to do it, you know. That's one of those games I somehow missed. I never got into Golden Island. Do you see what else is along the same lines? This might be interesting to you.

Do you know they're releasing Code Veronica and Resident Evil 4 on Xbox? yeah games on demand like and it's a full it counts as a full retail game It's a thousand gamers score. Oh wow, but they're both coming up this fall as well I remember liking code Veronica on the Dreamcast a co-vera who was great I never played four you and I both like fell off of it Resident Evil same for the first four to be like one of the best one supposedly I played five that was more like all the zombies had in the same place. Of course, it would be like one of the best ones. Supposedly. I played five. That was more like all the zombies had pitchforks.

Yeah, five was good. But I'm in a quick time, I guess. Yeah, co-wrong, it was great. That was really great. And that was the last one that we get really excited about. Well, that's cool. When do they come out? Sometimes this fall.

Once again, along with every other fucking video game in the world, darkness two got pushed back to February. Yeah, darkness two is pushed and Mass Effect is pushed. Yeah. But we still have like fucking... We still don't know in Saints Road. We still don't know in Old Publix coming out. I saw an article the other day that there was like,

I guess the Old Republic forms were a buzz because the release date changed from TBD to TBA. Yeah. Oh, there's an Assassin's Creed coming up. Oh, Jesus Christ, you're right. There's a million games. Also, the Xbox Summer of Arcade just started. Yep, with Bastion.

Yeah, that can Bastion got really good reviews. Yeah, I heard good things about it. I thought was thinking about picking it up for just to play at home. Yeah. And I believe, I don't know what all the other games are, but I believe it wraps up with Crimson Alliance. No, I think Crimson alliance comes out later, but if you buy all the summer of arcade games,

you get crimson alliance. That's what I'm saying. Are you sure I think it comes out in August? Crimson release? Yeah. Maybe that's past the summer of arcade, but I think it's got like an August or September release date. Okay.

It also supposedly will be playable at Comic-Con. Yeah, yeah, I read a tweet about that somewhere. I think Major Nelson tweeted about that or something. I do not see a release date for Crimson Alliance yet. But there, I think one of those... September 7th, by the way. September 7th. One of those summer of arcade games coming out

is the insanely twisting shadow planet, right? Yeah, I see a list here. Bastion from dust, stately twisted shadow planet Fruit ninja connect toy soldiers cold war and then Criminal lines and crimes lines all right. I don't think about fruit ninja, but the rest of those games also not some It's kind of that's right it's a connect game So it's like the first summer of arcade where you have to have a connect in order to play the game essentially Are there any other MMOs coming out that you're at all interested in besides all republic? MMOs?

Yeah, no. I'm kind of surprised that Minecraft has been announced as like an MMO. Well, it's coming out on the Xbox. But I mean it's a fall. I mean, when I think of Minecraft, I think of like a big open world type environment. Yeah, but I feel like you get too many people in there, like in a world where you create so much, you get the best to go in there and I want to destroy.

I mean, you can always set it up where it's like you have like a plot of land that only you or you can set a permission to alter. Like only you can like alter this area. That can be kind of cool. I might be the last person on the planet who hasn't played Minecraft. I haven't played it either. I really want to. It's just one of those things about fun and time to sit down and do it. And I hear it's a tremendous time suck.

I'm gonna wait till the blue rays come out. There you go. What? Oh, there we go. You're bringing it around with different things. It's like those are getting sensitive. I know Sony Online announced the other week the announced Planet Side 2.

Oh yeah, I saw some screenshots of that. It was pretty cool actually. I actually really enjoyed Planet Side when it was in beta. Yeah. And I waited a lot of fun playing that. I'm actually kind of looking forward to seeing PlanetSide too. Yeah, I was talking about that game with Frager the other day. He asked if we ever played it.

I guess he was really into it. And I was like, yeah, burning a guss on each to play it all the time together. And he was like, did you play it before or after the mechs? And I was like, there were mechs in PlanetSide. So I guess I played before. Yeah, I think we played in the beta then right around launch. Yeah. Did you get to see the announcement from BioWare?

Or were future President Rick Perry spoke it by? Oh, the announcement from BioWare? Or were future President Rick Perry spoke it by? Was it at BioWare? Yeah, he actually spoke at BioWare. So EA is opening up a new studio in Austin. They're not opening a new studio. They're expanding their presence in Austin and to include EA sports and they're opening up a new area, having 300 new employees. But apparently they're not all developers. Yeah, in the structure and stuff. Only about 70 of them will be developers initially. And they're going to spend a year working on developing a core team and then expand past that next year.

Yeah. So the rumors floating that they could be doing in CWA football here in Austin. I don't know about that. Well, I don't know why they would split up their football developments. Currently, NCAA and Madden are both developed in Timberon. They also read that this studio is there to augment Timberon. So

whatever they work on a Timberon, they only do NCAA and Madden there, right? They do other games. Are they gonna... are you sure? All the other sports games are done up in... I think they do. Don't they do the NASCAR game down there? The NASCAR game doesn't exist anymore. It doesn't? I don't think so. I only made one like two years. I don't know about a game doesn't exist anymore. It does? I don't think so. I only made one like two years. I don't know about that. Like the first, like this year a NASCAR game came out that wasn't EA. It was the first non EA NASCAR game.

But yeah, no, so they're specifically there to augment, at least initially, Matt and in Sidub. Oh, well, Timberon. Yeah, it was funny. There was an article or there I was reading the article about it. And it said that BioWare had two it and it said that bio where had two buildings I even know they had two buildings They did the yaksports MMA game

NFL head coach Madden NCAA Tiger Woods PGA tour. Oh wow. Oh wow. They still do tied and they did Tiger Woods under yeah and I'm gonna some some other stuff I'm done in a while all the basketball and hockey and all that shit is done. So, thank you for opening Vancouver. And Burnaby, not actually Vancouver, it's just outside of Vancouver.

Yeah. It's cool studio up there though, really, really cool studio. Yeah. Yeah. They've sort of moved everyone like Black Box, used to be in downtown Vancouver, but now they're actually in the studio. When does Gears 3 come out? Later this year.

Is it this year as well? I think it's September isn't it? It feels like the game has been done for how long now? Well I think it is done isn't it? I guess so. Because the code got leaked right? Oh that's right. We talked about that. I guess last thing. September 20th. Jesus. There really are a lot of games coming up too many. Too many. I like that on Google night you type, here's the War 3 release date and it tells you. Yeah. Google's pretty awesome that that kind of stuff too. Like when I couldn't get ESPN3.com to work for me on Sunday, but I wanted to watch the Ladies World Cup final.

And so great game, by the way. That's what I hear. I heard it was awesome. But so I just Google like Ladies World Cup and they just give you like Google just returns live scores right there for you. And the search results, it's awesome. It's convenient.

I think they also turn like stock tickers and stuff like that. Oh, it's speaking of dates and stuff like that. I completely messed up last week and I said, achievement hunters birthday was next Wednesday. It's actually next Thursday. So it's one of the, I thought it was the 27th, it's actually the 28th. So it'll be a week from tomorrow.

And we'll be doing, we're gonna be playing a community play day. We'll be playing burnout paradise. I think so. We're doing community play dates every day next week. Yeah, that's a good game Yeah, it was a great game. So that was that was the very first video we ever did for a cheap amount or so We're always gonna go back to that game. It's our it's our it's our game No, they're talking about Google made me think about Google plus which made me think about that video that That went out yesterday. That wasn't really funny. I was completely and totally ignorant of that short.

Like I didn't know it had been written. I didn't know it had been filmed. I saw Chris in a wig one day. I didn't know what it was about. And suddenly there was a video on my website. Yeah, Chris the other day, Chris and Marshall came up to me and they're like, hey, hey, we want to show you something. And they'd like to send me down.

They're like, do you know anything about this short? I go, what the fuck are you showing? I don't know. So they showed it to me. I was like, I had no idea. I was very, yeah, it was really. Chris and Marshall did it really. They They showed it to me. I had no idea. I was really, yeah. Chris and Marshall did a really, they reacted very well in it. They played off each other very well.

We saw what happened, right? Yeah, then Tom from my space. Tom from my space basically like posted it on his Google plot. That's really funny. That was very, very clever. Sweet, sweet irony. Yeah, that was really cool. But no, I thought those guys made it did a great short.

It's always fun. It's always fun like It's it's cool that are that we've expanded to the degree now that like everybody doesn't work on every single thing You know what I mean like he used to be in the old days and Some days you just go to work and there'll be awesome content that you didn't even know about that pretty cool Did you see anything from this new episode of Red vs Blue before you actually saw it? Well, I yeah, I mean I've read Well, I know you read the script, but how do you see any of the animation or the mission? I'm on anything. Yeah, I go back and I like to just stand behind money every once in a while. No, watch

them, you know. So I've seen, I've seen a lot of that stuff just because I make a point to go out and see what he's working on. That's cool. Like I didn't see the, I had nothing, I know nothing about the episode until I actually saw it on our website. Oh, it was just kind of cool. It's like, man, I've known that since before I worked here. So it's been a few years. No, yeah, I end up, even if I don't actively seek it out, I feel like I inadvertently see a lot of it. Because I have to walk around and help people with different technical problems all the time. I guess I'll end up seeing stuff constantly.

But so it's rare when I get caught totally off guard like I did with that social network one. I do make a point of trying not to watch the machine-imating portion of the episodes. Because I get like itchy. I don't like them. I don't like the controller that carries hands and I'll get back to it. But, no, this guy's a good one. Funny stuff. The season's turned out really, really good, man.

Yes, it's pretty awesome. I'm liking it in the whole, do you know how many episodes are at the season? Seven and the most are. I don't know. It's a big deal. I don't know. It's a full season so 19 or 20 out of 16. Yeah, somewhere around there. Okay. We're up to five at this point, right? Mm-hmm. Got a PSA. Yeah, so it's there'll be a few more PSAs as well. Yeah, we typically put out about four PSAs during the season. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, four or five. All right, well, let's wrap this shit up before we go too long. Okay. Um, don't forget we have a panel or no, we don't not us. There's a Haley universe panel at Bernie's on 11, 11, 11, 30, the Friday at San Diego Comic

Con, which is followed up immediately by a panel that griffin's on, both of which I'll link in the link. Don't okay. And anything else you guys want to plug? Happy birthday, achievement hunter. If I'm not here next week. I think I'd do that for that stuff. I would have no clue when, Achievement Hunter's birthday was, I wasn't reaching out for that. I'm so bad with that stuff. I only know it's birthdays during Comic Con

or around Comic Con because we'd watch it when I was over there in San Diego. Did we? Yeah, I remember that. I thought it was so dumb that we launched that website when Ben and I were both in San Diego. Yeah. It was like, this isn't gonna work out well.

It was a point of blame out well. It didn't. No, they're not terrible. Okay. Well, thanks for listening. Describe the show to a newcomer in a more familiar way. Do you like apples?
