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

Twisted metal, now only on peacock And I'm recording Gus go with the theme song now I don't do that no, I'm not a bit up You are listening to the 51st Rooster Team podcast 53 now aren't we somewhere on there? I think so somewhere around there if everything goes right This could be the third one to actually make it to the site and not gonna happen so welcome probably not and last week We talked about what we talked about the first quarter of 2009 I'm gonna take issue with you guys you guys said that I'm a secret wild player and I wouldn't admit it I went back and listened to the thing when I was out of the room. I don't play wow I don't play

I'm pretty much now you don't play it is ever the day after the podcast You said your 10 day trial right now and you refused to renew it and you haven't played since the podcast if I was a player I would renew it's because we called you out and we found your secret and you're embarrassed So you quit playing you it's totally clear the game back on at level 59 and when you stopped you were level 63 Is that right 65 so you got six levels in your 60s. That's playing the game 66 come on. We're credit is due. That's like a million experience points Probably more than that seven levels in 10 days. It's way more than that. That's a lot But what I'm saying is that if I really play the game I would have a subscription

I would be a player of the game and I'm not so what you're trying to beg for a free subscription It's a little more getting out of here. It's never worked ever. Mazorati. I got one Did you really yeah, you son of a bitch who gave you a free subscription a while? JB get the fuck out of here, and that sucked dude. I mean you know you have to report that to the IRS Did you report that in your totally? You know you have to report that to the IRS. Did you report that in your totally? What's the what is the like the reason like the made up guys reason for that? Oh, no, no, he just works there so he gets like five free Subscriptions or something and you get to be one of the five can we talk about him circle? He's like secret JB

He's also the dude who there's a store and Microsoft that not many people know about and it's like a friends and family store employees store where you can go and buy stuff that Microsoft makes for like nothing like how much is a copy of office at the Microsoft store? It's like I think it's like It's like 40 bucks. Yeah, like 35 40 bucks. Yeah, and that's cool But they only get so much money per year they can spend there right like they like a budget that they can run through And they put stickers on all the software that says like this was purchased by Microsoft employee number xxxx And I bought a used copy of Halo 3 in Seattle summer from GameStop and it said this was bought at the mic It had the sticker on it. This is by Microsoft company store by employee, you know XX XX fucking damn what the hell is that?

Is that a phone so whether they they they I guess it's someone who bought it at the Microsoft store and then sold it back to GameStop Why would you sell a copy of Halo 3? They probably sold it for more money than people sold back. What the fuck is this? What is the phone for this teeth is Gus speaking? Yes, do you want to leave the room? Yes. You know, one of the first steps in making a podcast that you should always do turn the fuck off. It's a fan. We're doing our podcast right now.

Let's put it up to the table. We're going to put you on speaker. We're going to put you on. How do you turn the speaker on the speaker? All right. Who's this? David Keller. David Keller. You interrupted our podcast.

Why did you interrupt our podcast, David Keller? I'm sorry, I didn't know. I'm on my break and I just found the number that searches for the internet and I want to kind of talk to you guys. I'm a big, big fan. I've owned all the DVDs. Watch all the commentary. This is probably a bad precedent for future all the DVDs watch all the commentary but this is probably a bad precedent for future

or podcast or happy will call in the end isn't it? what can internet has our phone though? all right what can we do for you? you have a question of the first call? one, me and my friends my friends started his little good show, he wants to put on YouTube or whatever And my friends started his little show. He wants to put on YouTube or whatever.

And he came up with an idea, but I want to get your permission first. I was about to use these guys as lines in a restaurant setting, but pretty much like, hey, yeah, you're wondering why we're here. And it's kind of doing these little clips just like oh my god you know but it's kind of like all of them says it's like pretty much work for work I wanted you guys for mission first I didn't want to just do it and get

hit with copyright or something okay well tell you what if you could send that actually can you send that to business at roosterchief.com I'm yelling because now they know our fucking email it's that's out there tell them just don't just say just an email to business at roosterchief dot com uh... talking about that and uh... we'll get back to you we're normally pretty good about answering that kind of stuff yeah no yeah it's no we normally pretty good about history stuff like that yeah but just you know usually the thing is as long as just tell how you're gonna use it whether or not it's gonna be sold anywhere or anything like that because that'll make

a difference. I don't think it's the only plan to be anything sold. It's just a kind of a little Christian, you know, it's a really live-pipe show. And I just had a, I guess that's how I think it was. Reversibility, good mix for that idea. It's a certain clip from the other side. It's a strong Christian app, I would I think it's a lot of fun to do. I think it's a lot of fun to do. I think it's a lot of fun to do.

I think it's a lot of fun to do. I think it's a lot of fun to do. I think it's a lot of fun to do. I think it's a lot of fun to do. I think it's a lot of fun to do. I think it's a lot of fun to do. I think it's a lot of fun to do. I think it's a lot of fun to do.

I think it's a lot of fun to do. I think it's a lot of it. You never wonder little tweets from restaurants. Just a little tiny tweets. Like I said, killing people with eating your animals. Anything planned for a set of game bombed, you know, you get your check instead of a machine gun. I was just watching season one last night. You know, I said, I've been a big fan. I always want to meet you guys. I just I live in Southern Michigan, so I don't get to really go Do people in Southern Michigan today have to differentiate themselves from people in northern Michigan? Is that a big deal? Like is North and Michigan considered really part of the state? But I couldn't hear you

People in Southern Michigan have to differentiate themselves in people in Northern Michigan? Like is there a big rivalry? Is there a different part of the state? Like are they dumb up in the North or something? Kind of, because people that up, the higher up you get the more you per's you get. Yeah. Up in the field. And you get a lot more of people with Canadian accent.

Yeah. Too much Canadian in them. Canadian accents. All right. Well, yeah, just send us an email. We should be able to take care of that for you, dude. And I know you guys are doing this thing next week of online. Oh, the tournaments?

Yeah, and I know I'm a lot of the business. That's called a segue in the business. You guys are greeting off our topic, please. Okay, go ahead, do please. I'm sorry, I don't really have a team, but I have a part of Rooster Teeth and I have a part of Halo on Xbox Live. So do I have to have a team or are there any way to set up? I can just be a lone guy and just team up with people. Well, I would say that for a team game,

yeah, having a team would actually be kind of an important thing. But I'll tell you what, David Keller of Southern Michigan, you can go into the tournaments and you can look in every tournament has its own set of forums. And in each of those tournaments forums, there will be a thread for looking for team and you can try to find a team there

or you can just join one of the individual tournaments Alright awesome That guy got to talk to you, I was like, I'm out of my break right now, like, oh let's get the number to call It was awesome Thank you guys, sorry for bothering you during your work. You guys have a good day. Why don't you tell us your username on the site so the people can go visit you. What? Why don't you tell us your username on the site so the people can go visit you.

Second hard rock. Second hard rock. Zach of hard rock. Zach of hard rock. Is it Zach with an h or Zach with a K? Uh, with a K. With a K. All right, well thank you for your call.

Yeah, you guys take care. All right, bye. All right, next on the phone we have Gertrude from Caledon Zoo. I don't know how he came through. Sometimes the crazy people get through the screening. He's a pretty ridiculous guy. I got some you back down. What are the odds that that dude calls

in the middle of trying to record our podcast? Go figure. So our first and probably only call in ever for the podcast. For the love of God, never call us. Yeah, you will not catch us doing the podcast. I promise. You will not look up our number. You will get an angry ghost who will yell at you and then hand grow up on you. But not in a fun way that you think would be kitschy and cute. Yeah, not in the comic world.

In a demoralizing way. Yeah. So he had a Christian sketch comedy show that he thought would be a good fit for Red vs. Blue. I can see that. I can totally see that. Okay, since he gave his David Keller from Southern Michigan, he gave us such a great segue.

Should we talk about tournaments? Let's do it. Definitely. How long have we been working on the tournaments module? It's probably something we've been talking about for two and a half years. Oh, yeah, at least. Longer? Was it in the Ruchit 2.0? Yes.

That was 2.0. Yeah. So that would put us like three years ago, maybe. In fact, I remember a big part of it too, is it was going to be very to show how long this has been in development. It was tied to polls. But well before we had polls, we had tournaments in there. Yeah. And one of the modules we want to continue to work on and bring out is a it was tied to poles. But well before we had poles, we had tournaments in there.

And one of the modules we want to continue to work on and bring out is a pole tournament where each one of these segments is like this versus this. And then you go through like, you know, 32 different poles and you end up with a winner of voting. Which is how somebody could use it. I mean, what we've got is we've got this basic generic module where anybody can make a tournament and it gives you a bracket of, was it, does it go all the way down to four,

four, eight, 16, and 32 teams. 64 just doesn't fit in our site and you can't have it look good in any way. And so you can use it for whatever though. I mean, ideally this is going to be designed to have people run video game tournaments on Xbox Live and things like that or vote on hottest chicks or whatever. You can do anything. That's what I'm gonna do with that. Yeah, you can fill in the text fields however you want and you're the person who determines

like what is the actual competition that's taking place here. Yes. I guess I mean theoretically people could just use it to print out their NCAA brackets if they wanted to. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Is that illegal? No. No. It's a right. Printing out a bracket with the ones that have a bracket. Bragg it's if they wanted to yeah, yeah, is that illegal no Right, I'm bracket

Right teams on a piece of paper. No, that's not illegal And they think the cool thing about our functionality too is that it's not locked So like if you fuck up you can just change the team I totally ping them why not and it handles everything for you like all you do is you you do have to in order to advance Someone you do have to enter in a score But you can enter in pretty much anything like it accommodates for like left for dead scores of like 5,000 You know 800 points or you can just have one versus zero and that's it and so to kick it off What are we doing? We're having a week of staff run tournaments next week. Yes, we're recording this on Friday and hopefully I can get this

Fucking podcast put out it took forever last week to get it out But yes, so today being Friday the 17th, starting on Monday, this coming Monday, the 20th, we're gonna start having staff, tournament, staff run tournaments. And then after that, we just completely turn it over to the users. Yeah, sponsors will be able to make

and run their own tournaments. And that should be a blast. It should be fantastic. But for the inaugural week, we're gonna start off with what we see TF for Halo. Yep Obviously, it's like this thing. It's Monday Tuesday. We're gonna do Halo Wars one-on-one one-on-one Wednesday is arcade day that's gonna be Peggle. Yep, which is very exciting So hey Halo arcade game Peggle

I actually you and I both wanted to play in and the tournament filled up so fast we couldn't get in yeah Once it once it's tournaments got momentum. It's they fill up really fast now. We should make our own tournament. We should. And what do we do on Thursday? Thursday night we're doing Gryffball. And then Friday would be Team Slayer on Halo. Team Slayer and Halo. I'm impressed that's a good memory. That's actually cool, because we just added a new feature for that where you can add a modifier for the rounds. And on this Team Slayer one, we

actually change maps every round. So it says it on the round like the first round is guardian second round is black out then construct into the pit for the championship. Real cool. Chamberships in the pit. Yeah, it's a good I think it's a great map for a championship for team slayer. Yeah, it's a good like team based one because it's symmetrical and you know, it seems like a it seems like an arena.

It's probably my favorite map in Halo 3 to play in. It's a good man. You like it because it's where you got your overkill. I doesn't hurt. Yeah, we did. We did my step and raise it. I kind of like snowbound myself. Really? I don't ever play snow. I like the dynamic of the shields running in and out of them and using them. Yeah. How about you? I always liked Valhalla. I just like it. It's too big for me. Nope. I don't play a lot of big team games. Just reminds me of Blood Goach. That's why I like it. Yeah. There's not big team games in Valhala. There aren't. No. That's a player map. Bajala is? Yeah. They should. Yeah. Positive. Well, I don't

play team games. I only play little. Okay. And like David from Southern Michigan asked, if you're looking for a team, you know, you just go diving into the forums for the tournaments and you can find people who are also looking for a team in there, which is one of the frustrating aspects of tournaments is like hurting all these people and trying to get them to work on stuff. Are one-on-one tournaments they fill up so fast. But the people looking for team, there will literally be a 10-page thread of individuals saying, I'm looking for a team.

And you're like, can no one make the connection here? Everybody's looking for a god damn thing. Someone seems to make the initiative. Somebody make a team. Post through 12 group up. Yeah, you're done. Take everyone divide by four. You're all on the same team. So and then the way we make teams is we use the I'm a huge fan of making modules on the site and then building those into other things and now like the group functions on the site which also had a

Change this week. We use those group modules for making teams and then those can be added to tournaments Yes, absolutely and a cool function now that's added to groups is you can kick people out of your group Long time coming The first things we should add we should yeah how to invite somebody to a group and then how to kick somebody out of a group Before you had to be just really mean to them or you know politely ask them to leave or if you're standing in this delete their account. That's one way to get them out of there. We actually discovered another problem with groups as a result of tournaments and that is the doop check for group names was busted.

So we could have multiple groups with the same name. When we did and we did we did Ben ran a doop check and do you know what the most commonly duplicated group was. I'm going to I'm going to take a guess that's the same name. When we did, and we did, we did, Ben ran a doop check and do you know what the most commonly duplicated group was? I'm gonna take a guess that the blue team. I'm gonna guess, Hentai. For each. It was, red team. Red team really?

27 instances. 27 red team. Go red team. Can't get it together. They're all looking for teams. They're all looking for teams. They're all looking for teams. They're all looking for teams.

They're all looking for teams. They're all looking for teams. How to gather up. So fragmented. But okay, so we got that going. And we think it's running well. If you're interested in looking at that, you can just go to Rushi.com slash tournaments, or you can find it on the games tab under tournaments as well. Yeah. Absolutely. Even though they're filling up, I guess the general rule of thumb is, you know, just keep adding yourself to that registration forum. And, you know, as people drop out and trust me, people will drop out. We're going to be adding an alternate. And everyone, I want to say everyone should please be very patient.

One thing we learned from Griffball is that, you know, there's a lot of antics, internaments and once people start playing games competitively, even on a stupid basis like this, they get high emotions. Oh, yeah high emotions very high So just keep that shit in the background, please no one's trying to steal their cloud song. We're all friends Man if you if you've never seen the video you stole my cloud song You should absolutely go watch you stole my class. Let's go watch it and come back It's a video of dark age of camera It's a video. It's just audio

Dude's yelling at each other. You nerfed my glass You stole my clouds It's a great thing about some kind of chat where one of the guys stole a cloud song I guess it's some item and some guy wanted it someone will stole it from him and Gus pretends like he doesn't know but Gus did play the old cage of camera You did too don't like I'm not saying I don't know what a cloud I'm not gonna cloud

So I played dark age of camel out for like 10 days Gus has an official cloud song replica hangout as well of that at home And I'm gonna steal it. It's what I refer to my penis. It's my cloud song. Oh, that's nice. That's great Well, that would be upset. I stole it. That would actually be justified like I yelling into a what is it ventrio or what was it? Vent is it ventrilo or what was it? Ventrilo. Ventrilo, yeah. People who use that anymore do that. I don't know, they totally use it all the time.

Did they? Oh yeah. I'm against PC. You've got it, right? Well, plus, ventrilo has max support. Oh, okay. I don't think you speak does yet. There you go.

Speaking of which, Gus, you and I should probably try to kick off. People keep asking, can they do PC tournaments? Maybe you and I should make a PC tournament just to do it. Why don't we have a Starcraft tournament? Ooh, that sounds fun. Yeah, that'd be cool. I have to find my CDs. I don't where those are.

Oh, you get for like 10 bucks, dude. You know, I know we talk about what we talked about while last week and I hate to keep giving Blizzard bugs. We talked about it this week, all right? But they introduced Blizzard's migrating world of Warcraft accounts into Battle.net accounts, which is kind of like a steam thing, where you register your email address, you log in with that email address,

but you can also associate game CD keys with that email address. So if I enter the CD key and associate it with my Battle.net log on, I never have to buy Starcraft again. I can always just re-download it, because I've already proved that. I have the CD key for it and I purchased it legitimately. That'd be awesome. Yeah, you can always just re-download it because I've already proved that I have the CD key for it and I purchased it legitimately. That'd be awesome. Yeah, you could always just get the media again.

You know, that is why I bought a new notebook. That's why I got back in a while. It was because I found out if I just did the 10-day trial I could just download the software for free as opposed to buying it in the store. And that's what got me going again on a while. Just so you know, and I didn't realize the latter of the fact either I could have told you,

you could have referred me. But I wouldn't realize a lot of the fact either I could have told you you could have referred me But I wouldn't have gotten any credit unless you played and started paying Oh, I guess okay I Recruited my wife, so I've got the the Swift is ever amount in game now awesome I'm sure people aren't like having kids yet to like take advantage of You get a Swift is ever amount is that you yeah, it's like a with a horn. I should have got that too because I refer to my wife You have to refer someone and they have to pay for two or three months. Oh, dude totally there

Yeah, I go get it. I should log in either a lot of it. Yeah, if you log in you should have a male in your box Okay, well, school don't wait. No, you don't get it in game You have to redeem if you go to like the account management through the world of warcraft I'll try and you can you have to select which character you want to give to. Okay. Achievements are pretty cool. Achievements are pretty cool. Pretty rough.

Hey, speaking of achievements, I've got a piece of useful information. I just, some kid on YouTube just told me about. What's that? I don't know if you guys are up on the Halo, Mythic DLC achievements, but there's a couple that are really hard to get, which are the infection achievements,

because nobody ever pulls infection in a game type On mythic maps, but apparently if you if you have a social party and you party up with all people that have mythic And then you play rumble pit in three or four maps You'll get you'll get an infection game type and you can get those achievements They're super rare nobody has them because you just never run across them But there's a little pro tip of the day for you so you you just have to know a bunch of people with mythic parts? You just have to know a bunch of people with mythic parts. You have to play Rumble Pit until it shows up.

Well, that's a great idea. Tournament have kind of sideline this a little bit, but we had our Xbox Live community date last week, which was awesome. Oh, shit, we totally did. Yeah, and we played Mythic Map Packs all night with a bunch of different people, and I think we all had the same experience where it was just non-stop

Invites and messages in Rex Box Live. Yeah, it was it was crazy. I cannot but I've never I it's mind boggling. You can't explain that to someone. Yeah, like to put it in perspective I gave I sent Gus a Game invite and it showed up about an hour and forty-five minutes later to go. It was ridiculous. I put up a video of it that showed my dashboard with like blink blink blink and as soon as one will go away another one will come up. And it was six seconds. But it was hard to explain like the system couldn't keep up with the alerts because like Jeff said I would send a game invite and I would go into a game.

The match would start. We'd be almost done with it. And then I'd see the game invite sent that because the alert the. The alert that pops up on your screen takes about four or five seconds for it to come up, make the noise, and go away. It's six seconds. And so if you're getting more than one every six seconds, they start just backing up. Yeah.

And they must have instituted some kind of rolling thing on our accounts because you can have about 110 messages in your Xbox Live inbox. And what I was running into was someone would send me a message or I'd see the alert saying so and so invited you to play Halo 3. And it wouldn't be in my inbox because it would have already rolled out. Right. Like the alerts didn't match what was in my inbox because my inbox was like

instantaneous. 200 messages ahead. Yeah, I would. I would quit a game of Halo and then go to my dashboard and try to find the people who wanted to play with me most recently. Now I was starting inviting them. I invite, you know, five or six people. And by the time I stopped inviting them, they had already rolled from being the most recent invites. They were almost gone from my list of 100 messages. They were almost out the other end.

Just to send five invites. But it was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. I definitely want to take part in a community play date for Xbox. You know, that we're not, that's not theme for us like for other people. Yeah, absolutely. It was so much fun to play with other people who are interested in the same things. Yeah, I wonder if you could like from an end user perspective, it might not be the same experience though, trying to get in and not knowing that it's not. Oh, sure, it's not. I'm sure it's not. But you end up like on that night, like say just for instance, like Penny Arcade, right? And then you would be in there with the group of people who all like Penny Arc know, I mean chances are you're gonna whether you're playing with Gabriel Tyco or not

You're gonna be with the guys that are also Penny arcade fans Yeah, and I wish they had a way to concentrate that like you'd all go in a room together Especially special special hopper for for that. Yeah going in a room together sound kind of creepy Also, Penny arcade doesn't have multiplayer, which is a problem. No, I'm saying for like a Penny arcade night Yeah, yeah, reverse blue has no multiplayer at all. That's a good point, too But we also don't have multiplayer which is a problem no i'm saying for like a pinier k night yeah yeah reverse blue has no multiplayer at all that's a good point to but we also don't have a game right exactly i'm talking about the website sure sure sure I remember what they would play they do have their own game i guess they would play what some obscure game no one's ever heard of

the plate that involves virtual dice they play rainbow six Vegas or like oh yeah puzzle quest Puzzle knows you know, I actually looking because the tournaments we've been looking at arcade games to find ones that have decent multiplayer Not that easy. Yeah, it's surprising. They really aren't that many. Uno But if you if you want to see more about that like see that video I posted it's in my journal I posted one of my I have a Vimeo account and I posted a the capture from my dashboard that has all those alerts popping up Com slash Bernie Burns. I got no no Bernie just Bernie slash Bernie. Sorry. Yeah And and then I posted a video of Teddy doing behind the scenes work. That was awesome. You got that little flip phone

Yeah, I can go flip phone. It's a flip camera. Yeah, I think I'm gonna get one of those. It seemed pretty cool I've been looking at them ever since you mentioned a couple of weeks ago and seeing the video Teddy made I could you I could do that. I could do it a four year old. Plus in theory. He does a stress test in the middle of it. He drops the thing and then picks it back up and it doesn't miss a beat. What's a flip cost?

It records an hour of high death and it cost about 200 bucks. Let me say high death. What is it? 720p. 720p. And it's okay. It's a little light. The biggest problem with it is that it's so small that it it's hard to hold it without you know just making a shake.

Sure. Yeah. It seems like the shaking and low light performance would be a concern but whatever. They're they're they're actually I looked at them. They're 230 and if you go to their website you can order it from them and you can upload your own like JPEG or whatever and it'll you can buy a camera skin with whatever image you upload. Oh really? Yeah, it's pretty cool. So I can have like a boner. This portion of the product is brought to you by Flip Flip. I don't even know what company makes. Speaking of the HD recording, should we talk about what we've been doing

all week in the office? Yes, yeah, that was I was going to leave it from Teddy shooting his little HD video. We could end with this. Yeah, yeah. Not that I'm trying to get out of here, but... Well, I want to talk about, you know, the stupid thing that happened on Twitter. Yeah, fucking Michigan screwed up our timeline here. What's... Yeah, that's normal. But, you know, this thing that's happened on Twitter this week.

Twitter's just descending so rapidly. There's this big race that you guys hear about between CNN and... Oh, man. I wish I didn't hear about it. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I didn't hear about it. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about.

I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about.

I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about.

I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I had no idea what you were talking about. I wish and then CNN was a highest rated group or company I guess you could say and he was above A plus K, which was you know why because he posted pictures of Demi Moore's ass on Twitter. Did he really? Yeah, a couple weeks ago. That would do it for me. Yeah, let's take away my point. It was awesome awesome asked to really a plus ask a plus K yeah so the race was could he be seen into a million and people got really behind asked in kucha and said you know really wanted him to win because they want like a media company to win you know to get to a million but it's like it's actually kucha you know I mean yeah I mean does anybody give a shit and it's like is somehow a celebrity posting about nothing?

That's more interesting than actually breaking news. We all just got pumped. Yeah. And then I found out, and then I find out the CNN channel wasn't even CNN. It's a guy who wrote a script that takes CNN's alerts from email and then sends him over to Twitter. And he owned the account, CNN didn't own the account.

It's just some random guy on the internet. To me, that's way cooler. Yeah, he is, like some web developer who wrote like some Ruby application to import all that stuff. And we're all gonna get excited about, like, asking Coocher? I think no, it's just crazy.

You haven't seen the photos of Dane Moore's ass. I have it now though, yeah, it's like I said, that's a totally value, everything I was about to say. So never mind, I'm gonna go follow him now. And find that, but yeah, it's like I said, that's a totally value. Everything I was about to say. So never mind, I'm going to go follow him now and find that. But yeah, it's just, you know, you definitely tell it, the Twitter's reaching some kind of weird like critical mass. Yeah, this all these things hit. That's just like, who knows what's going to happen. You know, I don't know. We can hit that critical mass. Yeah. We're still working on it. Maybe with these podcasts, we'll get there. Do you do any Twitter updates from your cell phone? Do you have your

cell phone? Your mobile device binded to your Twitter account? I get stuff to my mobile phone but I do it all from usually from the computer. I have a thing called Tweety. Here's the problem too. It's not always clear where where stuff's coming from because I was subscribed to Jeff's wife's Twitter and her stuff would come to my mobile phone. It's an her stuff would come to my mobile phone. It's an alert that sends out to your mobile phone. So I thought she was just texting me. So I replied back to her and it went on my fucking Twitter, my reply.

And it should not have been on Twitter. No, probably what I wrote should not have been on Twitter. So, but it went down fast. Nobody ever commented on it. You probably noticed when you tell you're not texting her phone number. You're texting some other weird number. It just came up Gryphon Ramsey. Mm. That's what it said. That's my life's name. You're texting some other weird number. You know, it just came up Griffin Ramsey.

That's what it said. That's my wife's name. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Should we bleep that out? We're gonna send it to you. Along with our email address and our phone number. But anyway, so that was kind of interesting.

I know that's, you know, that was just happened yesterday. So he finally actually cut your one. I hate to spoil it for a year. But you know, by the way, it was fun to watch you freak out and try to figure out how to delete Twitter a Twitter from your phone We were in Amsterdam I'm on the European like reaching network going. How the fuck do I delete this fucking Twitter?

I thought we're gonna go back to the hotel This thing is sitting out there in the public view. Oh my god get this thing out of here So I should even talk about it. I can try some history. I don't know Time to go to Twitch. Twitch was. It's to see what it was. The Twitch machine. The Twitch back machine.

God, I'm getting so sick. That's going to be like the new thing for this year is going to be like puns on Twitter for some dumb app that interfaces with Twitter that does something that you don't really care about anyway. Like how often is a certain letter used You know or something like that. I care about that. There's twit deck Twitter bitter. There's all these fucking out Twitter

Quitter Twitter. Twitter doesn't work. I tried it doesn't work Maybe it works. I didn't do it right, you know, that's usually the way this way. It's certainly possible Yeah, there's something I signed up with for a long time ago that I'm just convinced doesn't work Even though everyone in the world uses it because it the sign-up process didn't work for me. Email? No. It's my gamer card.net. Oh. That verification process didn't work so I'm like, okay, this side's broken. I've never signed up for my gamer card on that, but yet I'm on there.

I'm on that work. Somebody, I guess, signed me up. Thank you, somebody. So, what are you gonna do? Okay, so you want to talk about what we've been doing? Yeah, we wanna talk about what we've done all this week. I guess so, I mean, we keep asking if we wanna talk about it. I guess we wanna talk about it.

We were shooting some shorts this week. Yeah, we shot two. We shot two. Live action shorts. Now we do this, just like the podcast, too. There's a lot of stuff we do that we don't necessarily put out there. We had this red camera that we've had now

for a few months, like three or four months. So we shot Captain Inazac on. Yeah, I guess not like six months now. Yeah. And it took us forever to get the red camera. And then we've been building out the package. And I mean, we love this thing. It's awesome.

It's what we use to shoot Captain Inazac. And yeah, we've been... For those who don't know, the red is like a super HD camera. It shoots in 4K resolution. You know, and it's phenomenal. It's got a great picture quality, much more like film than digital and 4K is like Like quadruple the size of what you see on a movie screen. Yeah, it's a 2K image would be like I'm gonna get the numbers wrong. It's like 2048 by 1536

So 4K would be 40 96 by 30 72. Yeah, dude, if that's correct I'm I've got a huge belly of fear. I think it is. I might be like 20 pixels off. And Matt, the guy who plays Sarge in Red vs Blue, he used to work in the visual effects industry. And they would scan into the computer. They would scan frames of film for visual effects work,

a series of frames. And they would put their little digital magic on it. And then they'd put it back out to film. And the resolution that they would give him was 2K you know so what you saw on screen for the horrible movies that Matt worked on at least were 2k images it's typically what you see is 2k and the Alamo here in Austin is getting some 4k projectors they got them they got them I watched my first 4k movie monsters versus aliens and 4k so try to imagine if you will if you know you'll go from standard FTV to high-def TV I mean this is

like going to high-def movies like high-def high-def. Yeah, well like from VHS the DVD Yeah, that was a big. Yeah, I mean imagine if like they start advertising high-def movies the problem is we can't tell Right the human eye can't tell the difference, but it just looks awesome. Yeah, awesome. Awesome Although you know you say that you I haven't seen it you said that but then my dad my dad tells me He cannot see the difference between SD and HD Well, lots of people I hear people No, no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no Those people like shot move the edges out. Can you tell the difference between 720 and 1080? On my big TV at home. I can he's shaking. I cannot know like between 720p and 1080i Yeah, no, I can't tell if you need to have a display over like 50 inches before you can really tell oh, I don't yeah I I've tried

Can't see it. I can't see the difference at all like if I switch from one to the other I don't think about it, you know, it doesn't make any difference to me at all. Just like when I saw monsters versus aliens this last weekend, it was in 4k, but it was also 3d. So I don't know what the fuck I was looking at. It just looked good. Yeah, it just looked awesome, but it didn't look any more awesome than like Coraline, which I saw in 3d a couple weeks before that. I'm also the same way by the way with audio. Like people who can tell the difference between analog and digital, like CDs. Oh, fucking hear that. Hell are talking about. And people who bitch about, like MP3s only being like, 192k compression. I'm like, who the hell can tell the difference?

Yeah, sure. On the audio side, I have no idea. I could listen to 64k and be like, that's fine. Yeah. Looks sounds good to me. It's bizarre. So hopefully, if we can do a good job with these things, and edit them right, and we did a decent job of writing them and acting them, we'll put them out. Otherwise, we'll just put them in a corner somewhere in a car drive, and you'll never see any of them. Hide them with all the bad podcasts that never made it. Yeah, I think Matt said, if everything goes well,

barring any complications that maybe late next week, we might see one of them. And then another one the following week. I think they're going to turn out well. I've looked at a lot of the rough footage and I think they were pretty funny. One of them was basically Matt wrote one. It's basically him. Do we want to spoil anything? No, it's basically he's joling it. And then there's one that I wrote that's got Shannon in it. That's the one to bring up Shannon. He said we got to work with Shannon again this week. Yeah. And he's a guy who played Wash. And we just saw him in Leigh Miserable.

Yeah, he told us while we were filming yesterday that he was in the Leigh Mizz movie and my wife's a huge fan so she started streaming it on Netflix and told me exactly where he was. So I streamed it in my browser and showed all the guys in the office. He's like Agent Washington, all on Napoleon. Agent Washington handing Jean Valjean over to Jeffrey Rush. Dude, I mean, as much fun as I just made of like, you know, people following Ashton Coacher. I mean, I thought it was pretty cool to see

You know Shannon on screen with Jeffrey rush and Liam. Yeah, it's pretty cool Yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah, everybody did he have any lines because you had the center Yeah, get a couple why okay good yeah, because I want to do stuff like that like take like Actors that we know like in the with their early smaller parts where they're just like with like ultra-famous people Have you guys ever seen the movie Sim-Simone? Simone? Simone, yeah. It's, uh, it was Al Pacino and Winona Ryder in a scene with Joel. Yep. With Who Place Caboose, and who's your last week, too?

And, uh, it's him standing between the two of them and they're yelling back and forth and yelling at him. And it's just like the weirdest fucking thing. It's like, you're in a scene, and he never talks about that. Like, he cites all of his other work, but some reason he never you know cites that so if you you got yelled at it's embarrassing. I guess so right. I you know if you want to stream on Netflix it's sim or any or oh in three. I think it's sim zero and zero and he wasn't that the bit of that like he was look about the writers assistant and she was like undressing him in front of everybody Joel. Yeah verbally Undressing him. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, not like not like with Dixon stuff Yeah, who wants to see what no no writers dick. Yeah, anyway, okay. What else do we need to talk about?

Changes any other changes coming to the website. I know now we got groups pretty much Short up. Yeah tournaments are there is a component I want to say we keep saying we're done with new features, but there is a component of tournaments that we did not include. And that's tokens and we'll get back into that later. But there's a thing on on could potentially be coming down the road with the website for tokens for the for the development of the site. I'm losing my train of thought.

Anyway, thanks guys. I also want to give a shout out to Ben for the work you did on tournaments. You're incredible. Yeah, also author that cock bar thing in like two seconds. Which is the guys. I also want to give a shout out to Ben for the work he did on tournaments. It's incredible. He also authored that cock bar thing in like two seconds. Which is the way it's funny. You want to plug about that. Yeah, what's that website? The kid made?

What? Oh, uh, Ken BenRTDoIt.com. You should definitely check that stuff out. And this is basically like our life in the office. It's like we say to Ben, hey, can you do something? And it's done 10 seconds later. And we do, we come up with like, sometimes you just like just to fuck with him just to see what he can do, we come up with like, sometimes you just like,

just to fuck with them, just to see what he can do. You come up with something ridiculous. Now, do you do that? A little bit and you're like, hey, I want to do the person to work for so long. Thanks Jeff. No, not to see me do. I think I could figure that out and you're like,

well, don't do it, I made it up. But, the kid is, the kid's thing awesome. Figure out now. Actually, I could throw this out to the audience if someone could figure out a way to do it. We are trying to figure out a way to do slayer tournaments where like, let's say you have six people in a tournament in a match and the top three move on and the top three from the other bracket move on and then so those three play those three in six top three from that move on. That's a hell of a lot of weird math because the buckets go from being individual units like or players, to being this split of three, which is, it doesn't seem like it would be that difficult.

It's not hard to own paper at all. It's not hard until you encounter a tie and then need to move to like a secondary condition, like KD ratio. It trust me, it's hard to do like even just a program and where you manually select them and all that stuff. You've been talking about it. On paper, it's a breeze to do.

It really is. But the way the tournaments are structured, because don't forget that every node you've got two units, not one, and one of the two nodes advances. So you can't. It's just like a one-on-one. It's just the same way as a one-on-one. You've got two nodes. One of them advances. One of them doesn't. Well, what's the one that advances? The one that wins. But how do you know who to put in the node? The people with the three highest scores. It seems like a scrape. It's not how it works. A scrape through Bungie.net. Stats should be able to grab that.

Okay, well, we'll talk about it, but you can't do that because you put the people in before the game starts. That's how you determine who's in that game. And then you advance, it's easy after you can advance them. You can figure it out, but you can't backfill yet, yet to know to the accurately guess which three you're gonna win. Oh, that's a breeze. Okay, well, we're done. All right, I, that's a breeze. Ha ha ha ha ha. Okay, well we're done. All right, I think that's it.

I think I learned a little bit about Roushurti, so I think I learned a lot about myself today. And you learned how to get your infection achievements. And I learned what it did, really. That was before the podcast. Bye everybody. Tata. Tata.
