Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Twisted metal, streaming only on peacock. In podcast, del panque por racho. The rooster tit. Chimi changa. Hey everyone, what's up with the drunk tank? I suddenly want a chimi changa. RUSH THE RIT HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I thought Cinco de Mayo is in Mexican Independence Day though. No, that was a... Some beer company made that up. Well, it didn't make it up. Some beer companies started promoting that in the US in the 70s to try to get people to drink more beer. But today, the real Mexican Independence Day. Do you think didn't work?
Starting point is 00:01:33 Did people drink more beer? I think more people know about Cinco de Mayo in the US than in Mexico, so yeah, I think it worked. That makes no sense. Why, I don't get it? So what is Cinco de Mayo to Mexican people? Well, it commemorates a battle that the Mexico won against France during the war for independence. But I mean it's celebrated in parts of Mexico but it's not a big deal.
Starting point is 00:01:53 Can I ask you a question? Do you know that because you grew up on the border between Yeah, yeah, American Mexico. Do they in your history classes and stuff growing up? Did you get a more Mexican heavy history? No, no, we had to we had to stand We we were stealing the United States, you know I lived on the side of the river it's more relevant. You're right next door. No, no exact same curriculum All the same. Hey, so is this the holiday where the people get out the big mallets with the fireworks on the edge? Oh shit Oh shit, remember that video? I forgot about that video. You got a link up that thing I don't know what he did. I was like see for on the end of a mallet like a house
Starting point is 00:02:24 I don't know what the fuck. I was like, see for on the end of a mallet. I don't know what the fuck. He liked that one. Slams on the ground, it rips his hands over the back of his head. Dude, that dude goes flying. It's a video where these people are celebrating something in Mexico, and there's crowds of people that have like huge, like, super Mario mallets. It looks like the hammer from fucking Donkey Kong.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Hellow. How from K-Slam? I'm like, fuck me, that'd be awesome. And on the end of it is some kind of explosive, some kind of contact explosive. And there's hitting these things on the ground making these huge explosions. And I guess one guy thinks, I'm going to have the show stopper and man, he almost kills himself. The show definitely got stopped.
Starting point is 00:02:57 You know, we'd see that all the time growing up on the border, they, like you could buy like homemade, I guess they were like homemade fireworks in Mexico. Essentially it was like gunpowder wrapped in newspaper and they were like huge triangles of it I remember once I was in ninth grade and I was like bending down using my locker and I heard something to my right And I turned and I looked at someone had gotten one of those and thrown it on the ground next to me I was like, oh, that's gonna suck and it went off and it literally like knocked me over onto the ground Shut-quaved by it. Wow literally like knocked me over on the ground. Oh shit really? Shut quite, you have to buy it.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Wow. You know, I sat next to a guy coming back from PAX on the plane. I sat next to a dude who was going over. He had just finished three years in Iraq and he was going back for another four years. He'd signed another contract. And this dude was like, he was huge. He was like 250 of solid muscle
Starting point is 00:03:45 and he was a frontline grunt. That's what he called himself. Yeah. And he said, you know, takes a certain kind of mentality and I got that mentality. Like he was frontline's guy. He said he'd been hit by 20 IEDs. What?
Starting point is 00:03:57 Yeah, 20 IEDs. And then he talked about something else called an RFD, which is not just an explosive device. It's like something that like shoots molten copper at you like some kind of device that gets rigged up. It was horrifying to hear about it but to hear him describe getting hit by an IED. He said these are his words. I'm sure you know his this is his courage. He said it's not as bad as what you think you're just driving along your Humvee and then suddenly your Humvee's 20 feet in the air. That sounds pretty bad to me.
Starting point is 00:04:25 And he goes, yeah, and then you're like, by the way, he's a huge video game fan. Plays everything. Plays left for dead, modern warfare, Halo plays it all. He says they actually do a good job of showing what it's like to hit by a flashbang and being an explosion. He said, because after he got hit by this IEDs, you spend the first 30 seconds coming back to reality and he said figuring out whether or not you're alive. You don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:50 It was fucked up. He had crazy stories. He was a really cool guy and 20 times. Yeah. It must get to the point where it becomes an annoyance. I'm sure that's annoying, yeah. Man, I don't think so. Was he all scarred up and stuff?
Starting point is 00:05:04 No, he was, I will say this, the surprising thing about it was when the drink cart came by, I offered to buy him a drink. And he said, no, I can't drink. And I said, oh, sorry. Yeah, the uniform, right? He goes, no, I'm 20. But dude looked like he was 35. Like, he's lived the life that not many people have lived,
Starting point is 00:05:22 you know? And that shocked my wife was traveling with me and it shocked us. That was the most shocking thing he told us. Out of everything he told us about the war, the fact that he was 20 was the most shocking. It was just fucking crazy. And he's going back for four years, man. Yeah. Going back for four years, amazing.
Starting point is 00:05:37 We had some guys come by yesterday to show off their ODST armor that they made, which was fucking awesome, by the way. Those were those guys, yeah. They had a gravity hammer that weighed about 150 pounds. It was crazy. And it looked better than the stuff I'd seen from Wedda. I mean that thing was amazing. But anyway those guys, one of those guys, the I haven't personally seen it in the picture. It was, no, it was really impressive.
Starting point is 00:06:00 It had like a leather handle, right? Yeah, it was fantastic. Yeah, you could easily kill a guy with one hit with that thing. But talking to the main guy, he is Station of Forthhood, and he is about to go over for his fourth trip to Iraq, and then he'll have another fifth trip after that. And I can't imagine that. Just the nicest guys, man.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Yeah, just absolutely like really enthusiastic guy, really cool people that came by. It was super nice. Yeah, it's been really cool to connect with some of the military people that watch Red vs Blue especially and then of course they all play Halo as well. Really talented too, some of the stuff that made was spot on. Yeah, that looked great. You know, that is a weird thing because when I was a kid, I remember as a kid thinking
Starting point is 00:06:37 how cool would it be to have a Halloween costume that was a stormtrooper armor? I mean, like the real armor, not you know Halloween costume with the mask and the rubber band but now it just seems like everybody's doing that stuff. We should do that. We should dress up as stormtroopers for Halloween. We should fulfill your childhood fantasy and everyone in the office should buy stormtrooper outfit. Yeah I don't know. I don't know. I mean I'm not as much into Nazis as I was when I was a kid. Those are the stormtroopers I met. And cut. The gun gets say-fah. It really is weird.
Starting point is 00:07:11 All of a sudden people suddenly had the ability to mold plastic in their garage. Where did that come from? I guess it's just the proliferation of information on the internet. Like now you're like, oh, I wonder how to do that. Let me look. Oh, that's how you do that. Okay. And they'll's how you do that. Okay. Yeah. And they'll talk to you about it,
Starting point is 00:07:26 like the way we talk about things now, you know, about technology, like they're just matter of fact. And these guys do that. Like, I said, this is cool. How do you make it? It's real easy. It's just like a, it's all PVC.
Starting point is 00:07:36 And then we vacuum form it. I'm like, no, that's not accepted. That doesn't make no sense, you know? It's like, you can't just casually mention stuff like that. It's like having a nuclear lab in your garage to me. It's easy. You know You can't just casually mention stuff like that It's like having a nuclear lab in your garage to me. It's easy. We just separate the hydrogen From it's a part of how do you go? How do you go from a PVV PVC tube to that armor? Do they melt it? I see. Yeah, I guess do they that's got to have like toxic fumes and shit No, we like when you vacuum form something you just heat it and then suck it right and it just sucks into shape without you
Starting point is 00:08:06 Don't have them melt anything. You're no better than I would just stood there with a straw and sucked that in a Shade I think you just stretch it gets like hot and floppy and you just suck it into a mode No, clearly they have the the sucky tronics 3000 back You know the suck float really Jeff come on. You just got the ods t mold That would be a forum on the internet that you could walk into and not understand anything being said for like the first two months you're there. Absolutely. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:30 That's one of the things I love about the internet is like I think that's what's happened. All these people who have this interest and a little bit of knowledge have all found each other on the internet and now it seems like anything is possible. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody takes their little bit of knowledge and a masses and a fucking fucking and now we have magic and now we have magic and now we have Japan launching a fucking satellite to be power back to earth. That's the wireless power. That's magic to me. Is that magic to you? That's totally magic. Wireless power? It's like, oh our power comes from up there.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Is that a next big, what next huge thing? I don't know. It's pretty fucking huge. What were you saying it was four kilometers across? There's no surface area. Four square kilometers. But that's going to be like the next big thing since the invention of electricity itself, surely. Why are there electricity? Yeah. So four square kilometers, where it seems to be two kilometers per side. So 1.2 miles by 1.2 miles for our kilometer challenged. It looks like we're talking about here. Japan is launching, just started a project, where they're gonna launch,
Starting point is 00:09:32 is it even right to call it a satellite? Yeah, yeah, there's a satellite. It's an enormous solar satellite that's gonna collect energy outside of the atmosphere and then beam it down to Japan. Right, they're gonna power 300,000 homes using this technology. And what's the cost on this project? $21 billion. Wow. They said that I think they want to have it in place by 2015
Starting point is 00:09:54 and that they're going to start doing initial smaller tests. God. Should we be doing this? Is that too much? It does seem like that's basically just going to a giant heat ray that's gonna zap something. Especially someone knocks it off. It's access. You can sit with a meteor shower or something. Next thing you know, fucking more is Africa.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Yeah, I'd love to see like a third world country's version of that. It's like they just put a giant magnifying glass. And it's like a super hot point. They just put a mirror on the moon What would you be able to see if the moon was a mirror would you be able to see yourself? You just shave I'm just gonna look at the moon and Get out my Gillette you'd say with a telescope Why not? God it seems crazy to me the stuff that they're doing now
Starting point is 00:10:55 It's just nuts. So that would be how they power everything so basically if you lived there You would have to pay for that service you wouldn't be able to choose not to pay and live there. What does that mean? Like well, you have to pay for electricity regardless. Like, you choose your electricity service, right? Like, you make a pirated power receiver, basically? But what I'm saying is it'll be a waste to live under that thing and not want to use that kind of power. Yeah? Oh, absolutely. Why run the electrical?
Starting point is 00:11:17 I don't see, I mean, most places, I don't know about in the UK, but here you really don't have a choice for your power. Like, just where you live, you're powered by someone. Dease? Like, I have to have city of Austin power. I have no choice. Okay. Yeah, and you don't care No, I don't care But it's like we got in conversations with Gavin about national health insurance that he has and he doesn't really Know how it works. He just knows that it works. Yeah, and we're all concerned about it But we have so much stuff in America that that is already that way
Starting point is 00:11:42 Like how our water works. I don't care. You know, I don't want to go shopping around for my best water deal. Right. I just, I have pipes in my house, that's it, you know. Yeah, where does this pipe, where does this pipe start? Okay, that's the guy I'm paying. Exactly. Just send me a bill, you know, called the water company.
Starting point is 00:11:57 You know, right? Do you think our parents, like talking about the technology stuff, like in the 60s or maybe even our grandparents were sitting around in a room one day going, did you hear about this? They're gonna, a tape is gonna have a movie on it and you put it in a box in your house and you're gonna, it's like being at the movie theater.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Do you think, I'm sure they did. Or like you're gonna be able to, like if you're not home, you can just leave a message. And then when you get home, you can play a button and people fucking, the guys talking to you. Like that stuff must have seemed like science fiction. Yeah, I can't imagine being from that time and seeing the shit we have now.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I know, and it's like, imagine what like our kids are gonna talk about 20 years from now when they're sitting in a room. We watched that mystery science theater the other day where they were talking about phones in the 60s or whatever. Oh yeah. And they had all kinds of crap and I didn't know they had back then.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Yeah, that was pretty good. Like putting people on hold and like forwarding your number to somewhere else. Yeah, I don't know, you could do that shit 50 years ago, whatever. That was in the 60s, it was like in the 40s. Oh, really? That video, for you.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Yeah, Evan, I were talking about that with September 11th, the anniversary just passed, and how if that happened today, you would have hundreds, if not thousands of videos of the first plane hitting, just because people would be recording. Yeah. Yeah, it'd be like a onion video. And people like so much. Yeah. Literally everyone would have, everyone has a camera phone, pretty much now, hitting just because people would be recording. Yeah, yeah, it'd be like an onion video. And people like so much.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Yeah, literally everyone would have, everyone has a camera phone pretty much now that can do video. A lot of people do. Sure, seems like it. And if, if the second plane hit again now, you would have like thousands of videos of that exact moment. If you sink to more up, you could get some weird 360-degree
Starting point is 00:13:23 bullet time view of that. It's like 3D recreate. I'll go a level deeper than that. You would have video from inside the plane. Oh, shit. They were calling on their cell phones. Yeah, that's right. And pictures and things like that. You would have footage from inside the building inside the plane.
Starting point is 00:13:37 With crazy. In the basement. Yeah, everywhere. It's crazy. And that's not that long ago. Years? Yeah. God, I can't believe this is an A.U.
Starting point is 00:13:45 To think that only one camera captured that first plane hit. Yeah, that is insane. Unbelievable, yeah. And he, and he captured it like perfectly. Like he was aiming down at this great, because they were checking it gasoline, wasn't they? And he just heard the plane go up, flick the camera up just at the moment it hit.
Starting point is 00:13:58 They were following a firefighter. Yeah, yeah, it was like two French brothers doing this documentary about five fires. It was a great documentary. Oh, yeah. And they were just in the right place. They were in the tower where it collapsed. They were underneath like in the basement and like it's like they're there and you hear the building coming down around them and everything goes dark. And this is what somehow they made it out. So some people were in just such states like the buildings collapsing around them. There's like a clouds of dust and people are just like looking at it and just slowly walking, it's like what is happening.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Some people aren't even running. Where Gavin, how about your experience with that? You lived in the UK, how old were you? I was in, I was probably 14. Was that probably 13? 13. I just, I think it was the last lesson of the day at school because it was the afternoon for us, it was like 3pm.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Yeah, and I didn't actually know what the twin towers were at that time. I just like something happened in America and we got home and I like, whoa. But yeah, I didn't really know much about it. A lot of stuff happened when I was young and I didn't know a lot about the stuff until after it happened. I didn't really know the big deal about Princess Diana until after she was dead. You were probably much younger for that though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:06 She was such a milf. So easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. She was like, it's funny. You know, I had a similar experience like when I was a kid. I've must have been 10 years old when the Berlin Wall fell.
Starting point is 00:15:19 I remember watching it on the news at night. That evening being like, I kind of know what this is about about but I know this is a much bigger deal than I understand at this point in my life and I made it point to watch it because I was like I know this I know this is important I know this is a big deal that was a huge deal to me when the Berlin law fell I'm a club I guess I'm three to four years old yeah I was actually 11 so you must have been like 14 yeah cuz I was that I 89 I grew up in the middle of the Cold War and I was terrified of Russia as a kid man I was like I just it was just like a
Starting point is 00:15:49 Fact that at some point we were gonna get hit with a nuclear bomb at least to me as a kid and I was fucking Did you know did you know what that was as a kid? Yeah, absolutely that meant yeah Because we had tons of movies like they after tomorrow and shit like that red dawn where I was just it was I knew at some point Russia was gonna invade. Like, do you have, you're younger than us by about 10 years, if not more? Yeah, I'm 21. Do you have a recollection at all of an East and West Germany?
Starting point is 00:16:13 Does that even make sense to you? Like, we talk about Eastern. I know about it, but it never affected my life. Yeah, I mean, like, I was, shit, you were born in 88. I was born 88, so yeah, I was one. They were two different countries. East Germany was a country
Starting point is 00:16:25 My wife's sister-in-law is from Germany and they actually live over there now and she has crazy stories About when the wall fell and people started to come over and she was like she worked with a girl who gave it up Getting the job at a hospital or short to have never seen a banana before and didn't know what it was Whoa really? Yeah, can you imagine that? It's just like I don't she was freaked out. So I don't know what the was. Really? Yeah, can you imagine that? It's just like, I don't know, it's just freak tash. I don't know what the fuck that is. That's creepy, why are you giving it that? It's a banana.
Starting point is 00:16:49 We had this conversation at 1.2 where I was wondering, what it be possible that just by coincidence and circumstance a person could miss a major event in the world. Like, you didn't watch TV that day and you just happened to walk out of the room every time someone started talking about it. 9-11's a bad example,
Starting point is 00:17:07 because it went on for like two months. But like, what if you missed, like, I can't even come up with it, because I don't know, like, what if you missed like one of the pyramids fell down or something like that in Egypt, and you just didn't learn that, you know? You didn't know that, by the way,
Starting point is 00:17:19 that didn't happen, I'm coming up with an example. Or if you were just in a coma for a week. Or even like a little vacation. And like the little stream. I was on in a coma for a week. Or even in a vacation. I was on vacation on my Emmy for a week. I didn't really have internet the entire time. I was there. I had no idea what was going on. No, people dying is one of those things.
Starting point is 00:17:34 You don't know that someone is dead. You find out about it years later. Nothing like the example you said. But when I went to Japan a couple of years ago, that's when Apple announced they were ditching power PC processors and favorite Intel processors Like they announced that we you know that time I was gone then I came back and I heard about it Like people talking about like matter fact like two months later. I was like what the fuck are you talking about? You know glue
Starting point is 00:17:58 And I know idea that I like had to go back and read about it. Holy shit. Yeah, I totally missed that Well, didn't they find a ton of people who didn't know certain wars were over and stuff? They'd been in hiding. Oh, man. They didn't realize the war ended. There's quite a lot of news here. I don't think I told the story in the podcast yet. It's not me if I have.
Starting point is 00:18:14 There was a couple of guys. There were three guys on a small island off the Philippines, three Japanese guys who were in the military, and they were still there as recently as the early 90s and they still thought the war was going on. And then over time two of them had died. So it's just like one old man who was still like raiding villages and like stealing pigs to keep himself alive out in the jungle. And they he people were trying to talk to him and tell him the war was over and he wouldn't
Starting point is 00:18:39 believe it. And he was told to stay there and defend. So they had to get his old commanding officer who was no longer in the military, he was like some school teacher. They had to get his old commanding officer to put on his old uniform again and come out to the island to tell him to finally stop. Wow.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Jesus! So she was on the island for like 50 years, like eating pigs and living in the jungle and killing people. He killed a bunch of people. What the fuck? I'll see if I can find the story for the link, don't. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:19:04 And that man invented the solar space station. So how do you go home from that? Yeah. After your 50 year tour of the war. His first words were, what the fuck is nuke's? That's all that's for it. That guy's got a lot of catching up to do. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Jesus. I'll see what I find it story. What would it be like to return to Japan today when you left it in 1940. Yeah man. It would be like it would be like such a huge jump into the future. I mean you're leaving like it's like hey we're putting a satellite in space next week to be empowered down to us. What's a satellite? What space? And how about walking through downtown? Tell me? What the fuck is Hello Kitty and anime? I would make a joke that he thinks he's walking under the set of Blade Runner, but he wouldn't know what Blade Runner is.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Downtown Tokyo would be frightening. What's a science fiction movie from that time period? It'd be like the day the Earth stood still. Like that kind of level of science fiction, right? I'd say he would have even know frame of reference I can't even imagine I think he's better off in the jungle. Yeah, stealing pigs It would be worth adjusting. It'd be so hard. Yeah, that's that's really fascinating really fascinating The so you guys do I mean, I don't want to beat the September 11th thing the death, but uh, where were you guys? Where were you guys when you find out about it? Uh, I was at T and I was was flow managing that day. Yeah, like Ajax and I watched it. That's a old Titan. I was actually not far from here. I think I'd woken up that morning and I heard like the DJ on my radio alarm
Starting point is 00:20:37 Say, you know a plane flew into the tower. I thought that's weird and I thought they meant the UT tower And I thought it was like a little single engine plane to flown into it So I had my I had a view a view of the university from where I lived at the time. So I went out into my balcony, looked in it, and the tower was fine. I was like, nah, guys full shit. And I drove down to work and I parked in the same parking
Starting point is 00:20:53 garage that we parked at now for Ruchertieth and I bumped into the secretary for the CEO of the company I worked for. She's like, oh, gee, what's going on? She told me, I was like, oh, that's crazy. We, yeah, that was so weird. The weirdest thing about that, at least in my memory, is that for about a good 20 minutes,
Starting point is 00:21:09 we, it was just kind of amusing almost. I mean, like, when we found out about it, we thought it was like a prop plane hit the World Trade Center. Now that was some idiot tourist or something who, like, lost control and just bounced off the World Trade Center. And then, right, shit started coming down. It was very quick. Or when you saw the first picture of the whole, it was out picture of the whole Yeah, I was at a convention in Dallas and it was the morning the convention was gonna start and they canceled the whole convention
Starting point is 00:21:32 And everyone had to find a way to try to get home. That was not crazy. That was not a cancel a convention. That's It's crazy. Think of you. I was that's a three hour drive from where we live in Austin But if someone was there from St. Louis, how would you would you get home? They shut down airline travel for four days here. Yeah, yeah, that would be I mean Yeah, I can't imagine it be like I was trying to go to Comic Con and something happening and be like oh well Conventions over. I guess we got to figure out how to get back to Texas that pretty much paused the entire world right for a day Well, certainly America. Yeah, definitely paused America like nothing nothing that was gonna happen that day happened Yeah, pretty much it didn't seem to matter, you know what I mean nothing seemed to matter I bet it mattered for the people who are calling you at the old tech support
Starting point is 00:22:13 Yeah, dude it also killed the internet The universally the internet just stopped working and we had worked at a tech support company where we fixed internet Problems and man we talked a lot of pissed off people that day. Yeah, that was unbelievable how mad people were People just rude as hell. We'd be like well, you have to I still find it weird that the internet can't handle Everyone who uses the internet. It's like most most traffic shaping stuff. It's like highways The highways are designed to get people around but if everyone wants to use the highway at once It's not gonna fucking work. Yeah telephone network is definitely that way You have problems at packs with your seed like 3G. Oh, yeah to use the highway at once, it's not gonna fucking work. Yeah. Telephone network is definitely that way.
Starting point is 00:22:45 You have problems at packs with you'll see like 3G. Oh yeah, that happened in the South by Southwest too. AT&T really has to go nuts installing, you know, more circuits to handle traffic when there was a major convention in town. Yeah, when we were at packs, my phone, I have a 3GS, my phone worked, but the data didn't work. Like it said it was so crammed. Yeah, it said it was connected, but I wouldn't get anything, then like, you know, once every hour and a half or so, I'd get a
Starting point is 00:23:08 bunch of aims. Oh, by the way, did you see that they released the official numbers for packs attendance? Yeah, I saw that. 61 seven. Nice. Oh, that was 67. I thought it was 61 seven. But, and but that's purely a function of them selling out by space. Yeah, that thing could have been a lot, a lot bigger. And they're all currently under quarantine. Yeah. You know, I saw something at PAX. I was really excited about that. I think maybe I didn't adequately convey my excitement
Starting point is 00:23:32 to you guys with scribble knots. Yeah. And that game finally came out. We were given that good. Yeah, the question that Jeff asked earlier, what were our kids talk about technology-wise that will confuse us? It'll be scribble knots.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Yeah. Because I don't understand how that game works at all. Dude, I couldn't stump I try for about 20 minutes. I could not stump the game. I Explain what it is. It's like it's almost like a platformer. You know you go around you got to collect star rights You got to click these little stars. It's like little puzzles like get from here to here or look Oh, the star writes up in the tree. You got to get it from there On what it's an Nintendo DS game. Yeah, and the way you do it is you type stuff into the game and it appears. So like let's say the star is in a tree.
Starting point is 00:24:09 You're like, oh, well, I'll get an axe. It'll cut the tree down. Yeah, I got the star or I'll drop a lumberjack down and he'll cut the tree down or let's put a woodpecker on the tree and he'll knock the tree down. Wow. It's so crazy that I typed in bully and a bully came up and started beating me up And then I typed in milk money and my character picked up the money and went and gave it to the bully and the bully left him alone for a few minutes And then the bully started beating him up again, so I put him in quicksand
Starting point is 00:24:34 But it's like I did it. I put down just two random things I put down an arsonist and a sled and he immediately went over to the sled set fire to it and then got in it He also went down gardenland, Satan, and they started fighting each other. God won. God kicked Satan's ass. I think I saw a video demo once where someone had God fight Kuthulu. Oh, is he in there? Yeah, yeah. We did try a social experiment that we tried to put in Mohammed to see because that's a band image, you know, they can get a lot of trouble for making an image of that. It's not in there. But who do they get?
Starting point is 00:25:04 There's only thing really that I couldn't find. Who gets in trouble from who when you do that? Well, there was a Danish cartoonist who got murdered. Oh, no, it's a filmmaker. Yeah. By who though? Who? Just some individual, some radical individual. And somebody pointed out to me and I thought this was a really interesting point. It's like, that might seem very backwards to us.
Starting point is 00:25:22 But what is, what is, but what is what is what is Muhammad when the Islamic religion started like in 480? I'm gonna say yes. So we're 1400 years into it essentially. So at 1400 AD Christianity was about that level. If you walked around like making images of Jesus Christ you could be thrown in jail or killed. Hell, yeah easily anyway not to excuse someone to do it getting killed for making a movie that's completely unacceptable but I thought that was an interesting point that somebody made but we on scribble knots we tried to bust this thing we try to type in some object that this game would not have I literally could not do it
Starting point is 00:26:00 I typed in a vampire to make fun of my wife for reading Twilight and then the vampire came up and started hitting my guy like attacking my guy So then I typed in cross and my guy got across and the vampire ran away And then I tried the same thing that I would I tried to stake and my guy stabbed them and then I tried garlic and he chased the vampire with garlic It's crazy. It's crazy. Of course there are exceptions. It's not gonna have like foul language or obscene things I didn't have the giant I want to look at that out, but I didn't just like it. Of course there was a first thing he typed in and I said and I go I should have given the rules to you and they are no proper names No obscene words and then nothing copyrighted. Do you know why I do that though? Because I showed the internet to a guy one time in the army. This is in I'm gonna say 95
Starting point is 00:26:46 I'm gonna say 95 or 94 or 95 this California like dirty Scuzzy surfer dude like you wouldn't leave him in a room with your girlfriend for two minutes because somehow he would you know He'd have her bra on his hands, you know like one of those kind of guys and I showed him it was myself and this other girl We're doing something on the internet and like that's getting navigator and he was going to go What the hell is this and we go? Oh, let's see internet and he goes I don't knowator. And he goes, what the hell is this? And we go, oh, it's the internet. And he goes, I don't know, how does it work? And so we've showed him a search in it. And he goes, you type in anything you want here. And this is on a military base in an office complex
Starting point is 00:27:12 at the newspaper where I worked. And he goes, I just type in anything. And it finds it. And he goes, I don't like anything. We go, yeah, the dude goes, the first thing that dude ever touched on the internet, the first thing he typed, he typed in sloppy pussy. Oh, he did. And of course, he brought it up. And he goes, he just goes, the first thing that dude ever touched on the internet, the first thing he typed, he typed in sloppy pussy. Oh, he needs a hug!
Starting point is 00:27:26 And of course, he brought it up, and he goes, he just goes, this is the greatest thing I've ever seen. He's so sloppy. Like I spent the entire day, like looking up sex stuff on a military computer. And there was a woman in the office, he typed that in? Yeah, she was hot too. Oh my, she was just like, I don't know, man. Yeah, that guy would hate scribble knots. Yeah, he'd would hate scribble knots.
Starting point is 00:27:45 It would be very disappointed. But because every time I go to type something in the scenario like that, that runs through my head. I wonder if you really interesting, if everyone knew what their first search was. Like what was the first thing you typed in? I remember one. What was yours?
Starting point is 00:28:00 Missfits lyrics. Missfits lyrics. Wow. I can't imagine what I typed in. I have a general idea. The first time I started using like a web browser search engines was at math camp. So I think I was trying to download a research paper about Firmall's last theorem. Whoa, take it easy to. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what it was. And then my second search was sloppy pussy. Yeah, okay. Well, you got to. Yeah, it does.
Starting point is 00:28:26 It's not even two words I'd put together. But that was the first thing you got of. Sloppy. What was that? What a fucking maniac. It's crazy. You know what the guy in the plane, the military guy told me about, at least this was his theory, which I hadn't heard before, why women aren't in the infantry?
Starting point is 00:28:43 Why is that? Well, you're an action military guy. Why do you think the main rule is why they're not in the imagery why they don't fight? I I'd say because of like sex stuff people being Distracted because of sex he said the main reason is that the mindset of the infantry men they won't leave a wounded woman That if they get shot down during an operation that they will just finish the mission, you know a guy Yeah, but that they won't be able to leave a wounded woman. That if they get shot down during an operation that they will just finish the mission, you know, a guy, yeah, but that they won't be able to leave a wounded woman. And they'll band in the mission for the wounded woman. I thought that was interesting.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Yeah. That might be as fun of that's accurate, but I don't know exactly either. But maybe, you know, maybe that's the, you know, psychological reason they give them. I tell you, women should detotional sexism. Women should definitely be allowed to fight on the front lines. I was in the I started in the army with some chicks that were tough as nails dude. This this guy said he they have these physical competitions. He he like I said 250 solid muscle. He said a woman the size of my wife my wife weighs nothing. Put him in an arm bar in five seconds in a in a thing because he said he was like kind of like okay I'll take
Starting point is 00:29:42 it easy and like kind of push during then she grabbed his arm and threw him in an arm bar and it's like an older promotional material they put out for his units it's always the picture of him and boys. Yeah, well dude I mean it's got to be like that it's such a fucking macho boys club in the military you know to be a woman it's got to be really tough they have that they got to fucking represent. Mm-hmm. Yeah absolutely. Did any of you guys ever beat Kathleen in an arm wrestle? Yes. I would never arm wrestle a woman. I have a really good say. It's a no-win scenario. Yeah, there's no good outcome for you. Either you're gonna lose and you shouldn't lose to a woman
Starting point is 00:30:13 or you're gonna be turns like you asshole. No, no, no, no, no, no. You get to hold the hand for like 10 seconds. So you have a moment there. Yes, you're right. We're sorry, Gavina. We're totally wrong. Yeah. Okay, this, I don't know if This is a program conversation for the podcast or even on topic But we kept bringing this up and there's a thing right there with gabs as you get to hold her hand for oh god Here we go. Yeah, so here's the big question. Here's the question What is the age in which you think it takes place where you make out with someone and you're not gonna have sex You don't expect to have sex right Like just like an evening of making out is just a normal evening.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Or like you like you rate it on the base system. Like oh, I got the second base. Right. I think, and I think there's a lot of you who are listening to the podcast, go don't even understand what we're talking about. That's appropriate to Gavin. Like he can imagine going on a date with a girl,
Starting point is 00:30:59 spend you know going to dinner, then sitting in a car and making out for like two hours, and then she drops him off at home, right? Or he drops her off. Let's give them some masculine. Let's give them some masculine. I'm just trying to be accurate. I'm just trying to be accurate.
Starting point is 00:31:11 But like, if one of my friends came up to me and said, hey, I was dating this new girl, and we went out and we made out for two hours, and then she went home, I go, what happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? I mean, it's just like, there's a certain age at which it's somewhere in your twenties
Starting point is 00:31:25 Yeah, definitely sometime in the twenties. I'd say like 20 like post college right like 2324 24 sounds about right to me. Yeah, I mean, it's a different way than that and like me on a date and giving someone a kiss, but you like Like like even like weird things like I was making out with a girl. I got her top off and then she went home or yeah Yeah, no, that seems weird No, it does yeah, that makes you you're 90% of the way there high school shit High school shit that's college shit for me. We're gonna if we're gonna make out pants are coming off It's going to pump some ugly we're about to have seven uncomfortable minutes Maybe that you hit that stage a lot sooner growing up in Alabama
Starting point is 00:32:04 Well, you know where your teeth fall out when you to piece candy. What I'm talking about that fucking tooth fellow Jeff lost a few I lost half a tooth Sunday. We I was eating no dude. There's no There's a half a tooth you lost a tooth. I was eating taffy From fucking Oregon the girl from brought back and I took a bite and it sounded weird and half my tooth was in my hand You should have seen his face. He just looked over to me like with like with like a paused mid-chew look like what and then he just carried on chewing is like And he pulled out like a slice of the top of his tooth like so the tooth didn't come out in one piece It came out like in slivers. It was like just one chunk. Yeah, it was like the top of his tooth It was gross. So the best part was it didn't hurt at all
Starting point is 00:32:44 But the best part was I had to get Monday morning go to a dentist, and I don't have dental insurance. But that time, I had to pay $1,400. Oh, my God. Wow. So you had a $1,400 piece of taffy. Yeah, I wasn't. And now I have a temporary crown.
Starting point is 00:32:57 And so I got to go back in three weeks so they can take that out, which I'm sure is going to be fun, because it's glued to my mouth, and then get a new crown put in, the permanent one. Did they numb you? Oh, yeah, they numb the shit out of me. You did something kind of smart. Yeah, I'm going to's gonna be fun because it's glued to my mouth and then get a new crown put in the promo one did they numb you oh Yeah, they numb the shit out of me you do something you do something kind of smart out I'm gonna tell you guys I got a I got a trick for the dentist They come in and they give you the shot which is not fun
Starting point is 00:33:13 But whatever you get the shot and they say all right We'll take seven or eight minutes and come back and tell me if you're if your lip feels heavy no matter how your lip feels You to gotta tell them know because they'll give you another shot and you'll be numb as a motherfucker Because otherwise you'll feel it no matter how numb you think you are from that first shot you'll feel it So always lie and tell him it's like I was like I'm barely numb at all as it's supposed to feel unknown It's like a little tingly and he's like okay, I guess we'll give you more do do do do do do I didn't feel my face for a day and a half But there was but there was zero pain and to make it to give you a crown They have to like they have to sand your tooth down and they have to shore up the sides and make the sides fucking skinny too
Starting point is 00:33:50 Add some nonsense going on in your mouth. You don't want to feel that Well, not when your tooth is all spongy and decay The guy was even like your tooth's fun. There's no cavities or anything. It's just half gone You know the truth is not fine. That is not the definition of a fine tooth. What's the tip of my tooth was fine? The tapioca wasn't even. It was really soft, and it just sucked the top of your tooth off. It was a nice and awful. That's worse than cracking it. It just got pulled off.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Gross. Like the top of a hard-boiled egg. I stopped eating that stuff. What was gross was writing the check. Or given a microdicard. That's that was the part of those gross You know it does seem like that some candy goes out of its way to be particularly sticky like a jolly rancher There's points at which I think I don't eat them anymore, but when I was a kid I eat them I think I'm never gonna be able to open my mouth again
Starting point is 00:34:39 This is my life. Yeah, this is my life from now on and what is that? It would be like what's wrong with you y'all are answer Like one of the use that stuff to like glue airplane wings on or glue your teeth back on together Yeah, put your crown on with a jolly rancher. Yeah, you can fill in the gap with some of that chewed up taffy It's harder than your tooth apparently. Hey, I see something new on your desk over there Jeff. Oh you looking at my PlayStation Slim Yeah, yeah, Bernie bought me a PS3 Slim. I did thank you so much for mind Yeah, well great. Thank you for thanking me after I went out bought you a PS3 Slim And then I came back and set it up while you were at lunch and Gus
Starting point is 00:35:14 What you walk that is the most miserable he walked in saw the PS3 on his desk. I was like the fuck is this shit? Oh my it was the most upset. I can't imagine being that angry at getting'm getting a free video game console. I was having a really bad day While I was at it lunch, I took Gab to get his laptop fix at the Apple store First off, they refused to fix my laptop, which was awesome Then as a reward after taking him to get his fix we go out to the parking lot and my tire got blown So then I had to buy two new tires and I spent like an hour and a half on a fucking discount tire I was just in a horrible, horrible, horrible mood. It was though you were inconvenienced by the space that it was taking.
Starting point is 00:35:48 I know. You had, you had no way to put your coffee down. I immediately, I immediately realized that I was being just ridiculous and I stopped. I'm very happy. I'm super appreciative. I went out last night and bought infamous. It's the first, first party PS3 game. I've purchased haven't had a chess play yet, but I'm looking forward to doing that after this podcast. Nice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:09 He didn't make it up to me though. He made that with me for two hours. Oh, that makes it all better. No, we went home. I am, this is all part of an experiment that I'm kind of running with myself, too, is that I've, in the comments for the drunk tank, I've read that all we ever do is talk about Xbox 360.
Starting point is 00:36:22 And of course, then like, dust is sneezing and throwing up too, but So I said you know what I want to go out and buy a PS3 because this new slim looks cool So I went out and bought it and I'm doing a thing where I'm trying to only play my three my PV PS3 for the next 30 days and I get just kind of started this what about a week and a half ago seeing what life is like as a piece That is retarded if I yeah, and you're gonna miss left for dead DLC and you're gonna miss odst Yeah, that's a big problem for me obviously, right? I'm gonna miss the odst launch every time I get an achievement in an odst I'm gonna show you I know I mean I have already played it. We got to play it for the commercials So I'm kind of you know giving myself an advantage there, but it's gonna be so hard when everyone else is
Starting point is 00:37:07 when you see, and I'm not gonna be able to play. It's the time to play Firefight, right, when it comes out. Yeah. Well, don't worry, I'll be playing, I'll be playing Uncharted and Fat Princess. It's always a great game. I like Fat Princess, yeah. Fat Princess is cool.
Starting point is 00:37:20 But let's talk about it. I'll bring you middle gear solid four, I've got that. And then whenever you're done with Uncharted or kills on to I'd like to right I bought kills on to and then I bought a little big planet for the kids and then I just bought Uncharted because Uncharted 2 is coming out What's on the horizon other than Uncharted 2? Like what what is what is there to be excited about us? A game on chart 2 is the big thing to be excited about and I went out and bought Uncharted just to get ready for it
Starting point is 00:37:45 and then played Uncharted and I gotta tell you that is, that's Tomb Raider, that game. Yeah. I mean, it's just like, you know, I went through tutorial where I'm in an Inkin temple and I'm learning to jump and grab ledges and then scoot along ledges and fire my gun. I don't know why, but I felt like it would be more than that. Well, the voice acting is really good, which is weird, that character is great. That's a weird thing to say. I don't know how to explain it. I don't know how voice acting stands out in a video game. Well we have a PS3 guy in the office Brandon and he's he had to go out and do what I just did. He had to go
Starting point is 00:38:13 out and buy an Xbox 360 because he never played 360 and and he asked me just did you like the voice acting? I said yeah I really did like the voice acting and uncharted. It might just be a really well written character and really well acted. Yeah, but it really is Tomb Raider without Lara Croft I mean, that's the way it feels to me. It took out the tits So it's kind of hard to get excited about the upcoming holiday season when uncharted 2 is your main title It would be like it for the Xbox 360 if the biggest title coming out was Saints Row 2 because well, yeah, it's a great game. It's a clone and we all know it's a clone It's a GTA clone, but it it's a great game it's a clone and we all know it's a clone it's a GTA clone
Starting point is 00:38:45 but it's still a good game but it's hard to make that like the linchpin for a there's a difference that that that like Saints Road does not give a shit it knows it's a clone and it will milk that fact does is it the same with Unshot it does it doesn't know it's just a clone of Tomb Raider or is it trying to be something else I don't think I'm far enough into it to make that judgment okay but it I mean the fact you go to an ink and temple right off the bat, I think they're just embracing it. Well, I hear that uncharted 2 is going to have three player co-op with like people competing, completing side missions and doing stuff to achieve a common goal. So we should try that out once it comes out.
Starting point is 00:39:17 Yeah, so what do you think about the PS3 so far? Well, so far there's some stuff I really like about it. And then some stuff that I've just,, and then, you know, some stuff that I've just, you know, I guess haven't grown used to yet. The big thing is that I'm only playing exclusive titles. I clearly am not going to buy a modern war for two for it. Right. Or Assassin's Creed.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Or Assassin's Creed or stuff that's cross-platform, just because I would prefer to play those on the 360 beyond with you. Achievements. Yeah. And they do have a trophy system in the PS3, which is pretty cool. I really like their dashboard system I like you I was you showed me a lot of this stuff the other day I really like the fact that you have like an overall gamer level. Yep via trophies
Starting point is 00:39:53 That's pretty cool. That's something I wish the 360 would incorporate I mean I love the raw score we have but it's cool to see that like you're a level 4 gamer, you know Personally, I'm not a fan of that cross-menu bar that you're talking about that dashboard successful anywhere. I think it's overly complicated. Well, I... Well, even there's a lot of options on it. Yeah, there's too many options. Yeah, that is true. I mean, I always say you can't have enough choices that you have too many options. But you go to your display options and there's just way too many. I think it's ugly.
Starting point is 00:40:18 We... Bernie tried to play me a scene out of children and men, and we couldn't get... We couldn't get it to play in 69 it was for it was full screen 4x3 I and we couldn't figure it out. I think that's a DVD playback or something. I don't know what we played it We played it on the Xbox and it worked fine. Yeah, we did by the way that movie has some fucking awesome long shots in it Yeah, that was a say yeah, Gav hadn't seen that he mentioned the NC So I got the movie just to bring it into show them those long Like there was one like 10 minute take where blood went on the on the lens and they Slowly digitally removed it as the take went on right and you don't even realize it and they fade it out like in areas of black on the screen
Starting point is 00:40:51 Did you like that movie Bernie children men? No, I didn't like it either but I liked it on a technical level the action stuff is great like when they're when he's like Run through the street and he's trying to get into that building and there's the gunfight going on. Yeah, that's a tremendous scene You know it was shot very well. But it's funny to think like, there's one bit where he's already been running around and dodging bullets and jumping behind cards for like eight minutes.
Starting point is 00:41:12 And then he walks into a building and there's a guy with like, I think he's missing his legs or something just like Lionel Vira. Imagine being that actor, just like, you hear action and then in eight minutes, you have to start acting. And you're basically waiting for Clive Owen and a steady cam to come bow into the room and it's like, oh, but you must be so nervous. I don't want to fuck this up.
Starting point is 00:41:30 It must be like a fucking week long reset to do that again. They said that in the behind the scenes, which is like you did not want to be the person to mess up one of these scenes. You would be fired without a second of thought. That is digitally removed you. That's exactly right. It would be more in the movie. Christian Bell would hear about it and then fly up and kick your ass.
Starting point is 00:41:51 So is Clive Owen worsi from? Is he Welsh as well? No, I think he's English. English? See a Brummy. He's not. I've been teaching Jeff all these... The other terms for areas around England, like if you're Liverpool. You're a scouser. He's from Birmingham
Starting point is 00:42:07 You're a brummy or a Jordi if you're from Newcastle. You're a Jordi What is the origin of those words? What does that mean? I don't know. I don't know anything about You know every time I ask you a question. You don't know anything Anytime I ask you a question. I don't know. I found that's value. Everything I guessed in last week's podcast was spot on. I just let you know that. Congratulations, you win the guessing award. Everyone in the comments has been bitching about like, why absolutely sloppy explanations about anything.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Everyone in England must be mad at me for butchering our history. Why don't you guess where Clive Owens from then? I'm guessing England. What part of England, genius? I don't know. Fucking guess that. How could I guess that? You do it right now. Let's see how I'm guessing England what part of England genius. I don't what I don't know fucking guess that You do it right now. I'm guessing he was from Ealing healing I'm gonna say Sussex, okay, I'm just saying he used from a village in the Philippines that just recently had a pig stolen from
Starting point is 00:42:58 That's what I think is from but um, yeah, so but back to the PlayStation 3 I actually things I like better than the 360. I like the dashboard better because I tend to be playing games when I hit the dashboard and it comes up a lot faster and it's your full dashboard in the game. I think that's pretty cool. You don't have to quit out of your game to get a dashboard. But if you want to do anything in it, doesn't it kill your game? Yeah, but it says do you want to quit? Yeah, but there's not that pause. I hate that though. I hate those do you want to do this? Dialogues listen the thing about the whole thing about the ps3 and maybe this is just a just like a one-off game And it's not like this for anything else, but you try to show me pain. Oh right pain is a download of like $10 PSN title. It's like an arcade game but for the extra like a arcade game And the first thing you did was you downloaded it and I was totally fine It's like a 400 meg file you downloaded it took about 10 minutes
Starting point is 00:43:48 And then you had to install it which I find to be incredibly annoying because it was to do that in the 360 when you download a game if you play it on the PS3 you have to install all your retail games and install all your downloaded games but after you installed it it said there's a mandatory update for this game It was 300 megs. You had to download that then install it. It there were five of those. It took us about an hour and a half to play. Yes. That game. An hour and a half of download and installing. Why what the fuck is one point seven gigs of downloads to play a 400 meg game? Yeah. And then once you got in to that game, it was pain by acts. It's like a sponsored game. Kind of like the Doritos game is on Xbox live The Doritos game is free. Yes, it is and this thing was 10 bucks and it has acts all over it
Starting point is 00:44:30 It even has a character who's holding a can of acts in his hand and one of the trophies is associated with spraying yourself with acts In flight you take a rag doll game where you fire your characters out of a slingshot and break down Yeah, it's a physics based, give fun game back me up It is a fun game wrong There's definitely more to that game than first meet see I Seriously if you pick up a game and play it for 10 minutes and then put it down It's the fucking worst game ever and it's not worth it's not worth the time to download it let alone the money I picked up that game three times trying to play it and it's a piece of shit
Starting point is 00:45:00 I do I do like that game if the first ten minutes are good Why would you put a given another ten? It's deeper than you think well you're describing my experience of mass effect. Yeah pretty much I'm really trying to I before I started doing this experiment I was trying to you know really get through mass effect and play it and It's just that that's been a really hard game to get into for some reason I had similar problems But and let me be clear about this experiment that I'm doing I'm not doing this to try to show how the 360 is a better console I'm really trying to like go through this and make this my main console and and for 30 days and see what that's like
Starting point is 00:45:32 Yeah, and be objective pain is a deeper game than what you think it is. It really is. Yeah I agree with it. If you have deep pockets and you can play it on pay for every fucking element of the game Okay, so there's a problem with the game when you first load up It's one level sponsored by acts and there's a problem with the game. When you first load up, it's one level, sponsored by Axe. And there's five other levels or four other levels that you can choose, but they all say buy me. And you've already paid six bucks tonight, right? And there's six bucks each, right?
Starting point is 00:45:55 So there you go, you got, and then there's 21 characters in the game, you have to buy all those, too. And that's $45. And you don't have to buy the characters. 21 plus 24 for the maps, that's 45. Yeah. 10 bucks to get the the game in the first place 55 and you don't have to buy the characters But you do if you want to get the trophies because they have trophies assigned to characters they do the cost money But the 360 has DLC and they have achievements associated with DLC and it takes away your finished games when they put out DLC for it
Starting point is 00:46:22 I guess I don't like the idea of a whole like build your own version of the game based on what you want. I think that's a bad model. By the time you're done buying everything, you are easily over the price of a retail game. And that's not a retail game. And no, I agree. I don't know if you like that's a retail game. Yeah. That'd be like if you in trials HD, if you had to buy every level above easy.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Have you encountered any other PSN games that are like that or use that Alacart model? No, that's a really popular title. Yeah, the updating system of that is weird. Like you download, the thing came out, I looked it up, I think it was a year and a half ago. And so you still download the 1.0 version, then you update to 1.1, then you update to 1.2,
Starting point is 00:47:01 then you up to, and it's like, all the way to 1.5 or whatever. How long was that process? It was like a hour and a half. An hour you'll take the 1.2 then you'll end it's like all the way to 5 or whatever. How long was that process? It was like an hour and a half an hour and a half. Yeah, that was kind of yeah, that was kind of rough It was ridiculous. Well once I get my living room set up and I get my PlayStation out of storage I'll I'll play with you online. We'll play some games. Yeah, the and so it was so I'm in the middle of the experiment and that was Yeah, that was that was kind of rough That was a rough first experience with with pain but fat princess is very cool and it has 32
Starting point is 00:47:27 player multiplayer right yeah that's awesome that's like a castle crashers meets warcraft the RTS yeah the RTS warcraft because you're like chopping down trees but you're doing it yourself and you're upgrading like the thing that makes wizards yeah and you can be the be like a wizard or a priest or warrior or an archer and you run around or a piano yeah yeah do whatever you want and you can be the be like a wizard or a priest or a warrior or an archer and you run around or a piano. Yeah, do whatever you want and you can you're trying to like just take your princess back from the other castle. It's like capture the flag, but the flag is a princess who may or may not be fat. Yeah, and if you you can feed her cake to make her fat so it's harder to carry her.
Starting point is 00:47:58 So the enemies can't carry her back. It's fucking awesome, man. Yeah, it's fun. It's a cute game. It's not a deep game, but it's. No, yeah, it gets fun. It's and it's a cute game. It's not a deep game But it's no yeah, it gets old it's a cute game a little while But have you played flower as I hear flowers tremendous. Yeah, no, it's definitely a different kind of experience And I have played it and it's like where the 360 seems to be leaning towards cute Should like with avatars and stuff. Yeah, the PS3 definitely seems to be leaning towards the odd You know to mean like that Japanese odd. You know what I mean? Like that Japanese odd stuff, like a game all about flowers. Or you know, Katamari would be like on the borderline of cute, you know.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Um, definitely odd or not be knobby. Definitely. I haven't played knobby knobby, but I have download it. Oh man, I'm glad about that. I have download of it. So what's check that out? Yeah, I'm taking this stuff out. So I'm keeping an open mind.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Things I like about it, I love the fact like on the controllers when you hit the ps3 button It brings up a menu that you would expect like turn off the system turn off the console or turn off the controller And it has another option to reassign the controller like if you're playing this player too You can reassign at the player one. That's really cool. I'd love to see that. Yeah, apparently see it's yeah But annoying thing about the controller, you have to, if you want to use the chatpad, it has to be charged separately. It does. It does. It has the controller and the chatpad. Yeah. Because the chatpad and the headset are independently Bluetooth as well as the controllers.
Starting point is 00:49:15 And it does have three things you're having to keep charged. And it doesn't come with a headset. It seems like there's no social gaming aspect to the PS3. Yeah, the console does not come with a heads and I had to pay 50 bucks to get a wireless Bluetooth headset. Which I can use more of my phone, but I'm not gonna do that. I haven't investigated this, but I'm gonna guess this is not the case,
Starting point is 00:49:33 but is there like a party system like the, like when I start playing an Xbox game, or when I turn my Xbox 360 on, the first thing I do is I go to my dashboard, I see who's online, I invite people to a party, I get like Jack and Gavin, you or whatever in, and then we're like, hey, what are we gonna do? We gonna play an arcade game tonight? Are we gonna play you know Gares of war or left for dead or whatever? Yeah, and we figured out we all play together. Is anything like that? Well, there is a chat, but I think it's single player chat and like when you send messages to people and is this good or bad
Starting point is 00:49:58 They don't have a voice aspect of the messages you can send to people. I think that's good. I think it's good to honestly I really do and the other thing the the versatility of the chatpad, it does suck to have severed power. Like the chatpad actually has an on-off switch and you charge it separately, but then you also don't have to have it connected to your controller. You can have it separate and just leave it on your desk and then just pick it up when you want to type something. I guess that's that's it. That is kind of handy. Yeah, it's also above the joystick's, which is not, seems weird to me, but I think that's just gonna be used to the 360 being below the joysticks I actually really like playing with the 360 controller with the chatpad on I did to have the way it feels like the original Xbox
Starting point is 00:50:34 Like the Godzilla one. Yeah, it definitely gives it a nice weight Well, is there much more when I talk about before we wrap up here? Well, just like out of the box in the PS3. I want to do one more thing It is nice that it's a neat square like you don't have the wireless adapter comes built in and it doesn't have the huge brick power brick. It definitely has, I will say it has a low profile. I mean, it's just like it's on my desk here and there's two small wires. Yeah. Connect to it. That's it. Right. It's nice. And the fact that 360 doesn't come with wireless, I always thought it was a big detraction of the 360, but the fact that the PS3 doesn't have a headset,
Starting point is 00:51:09 I think that's a pretty good trade off, because I definitely want a headset, I don't necessarily want wireless. Right, not everybody's into wireless. Yeah, like for instance on my PS3, I have it home, it's not wireless, I have it hooked into my entertainment console. Yeah, I always play wide.
Starting point is 00:51:21 The thing I failed to understand is the 360 obviously has some kind of wireless capabilities. It's already communicating with your wireless controllers. Well, that's Bluetooth. Is it Bluetooth? I think it is. I was a proprietary one, but regardless green juice. There is some type of wireless transmission going on there. Jeff, are you uncomfortable with us talking about tooth so much. No, that's body. I don't want to know. I'll survive. It's kind of post-traumatic thing. I have a piece of the concern. I have tooth technology. We're talking about wireless technology. Wireless electricity.
Starting point is 00:51:51 And how there's already tables that will use those magnetic coils to charge stuff on the tables. Like, you're just being thrown on it. It'd be cool to have in future a console where, if you placed your controllers and peripherals on top, it would charge them. That'd be a pretty cool thing. That would be neat.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Yeah, okay, well, you build that. I got that Energizer Charging stand for my PS3 controllers. I think it's hard to push things into, like really? Yeah, it's those mini tiny little USB connectors. And so you got to line it up just right. It ain't easy. Let's just put it that way. Yeah, I think I linked that last week's link dump.
Starting point is 00:52:23 In this week's link dump, can you add a couple things for me? Sure What can you please link the 9 11 Farc thread and you can see in real-time people reacting to the 9 11 thing They link it every year on the anniversary of 9 11 all right, and then one more thing I want to mention about the PS3 though is that the the just The feel of the dual shock is something I just can't get used to. And I don't know why in all the games I've played so far, the shooting is not the right trigger. It's the right bumper button.
Starting point is 00:52:52 That's so hard. Yeah, it's not, in PS3 talk, it's not the R2 button, it's the R1 button. Oh, yeah. That's no sense. You got a trigger. No, but that's not, but a trigger is like a pressure set, like this, like hundreds of different levels of pressure you can put on the trigger when you're shooting You just need on off for a for shooting. I got these for you, buddy
Starting point is 00:53:08 If you pick up a gun and fire it you fire in a fucking trigger Which is part of your pressure sensitive? Well, I'm saying is it doesn't affect what you're doing depending on how hard you press it He's making an argument that doesn't make any sense. What do you mean? All right, it's meaningless. What you're saying has no point to shoot a gun You need to just be able to click a button to shoot the gun you don't use this precious sensitive trigger to shoot a gun Yeah, but it's a bigger button and it's more comfortable for your finger We're not talking no one was talking about fucking pressure sensitive stuff. It's not we're talking about We're talking about like a place button jackass
Starting point is 00:53:39 Damn it, Gavino This time it's for no reason. You're talking about Nonsense. Well, it's fine because that button's black. Hey, wait. Hey guys, guys, does it have to edit your retarded ass? Why don't we talk about the fact that breakfast today, orange juice fell out of your mouth, and you got shocked by it.
Starting point is 00:53:59 I was the only one that was like six of us at the table. I was the only one that noticed Gus. He just took his sip, lent back, and like, I must have dollar pervading juice to fell. Straight out of his mouth. It didn't just fall his shot out. Yeah, and he was so surprised by what the fuck just happened to me. It was pretty embarrassing. They made him jump.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Jeff's over at the other end of the table, spilling his coffee. Oh man, I spilled my coffee everywhere. What did you do? I have no idea. Somehow my was on the coffee cup. I didn't put it there I just looked over my hand was on the coffee cup and it was like flipping it I don't know what I don't know what happened a lot of control on my left arm for a little bit I got gross lip stick coffee cup today. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna get swine flu off that bitch. Yeah Was it gonna be a bitch? That was a little what do you put? Here we go again. All right, anything else before we kill it?
Starting point is 00:54:45 Nah. No, just wish me luck in my PS3 experiment. Good luck. I hope we play with you soon online. All right. All right, thanks for listening everyone. Talk to you later.
