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 the 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 motormouth 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 Okay recording Hello everyone. This is Bernie Burns. Hey, I am Jeff Ramsay. Gustavola The sound of that Mike B. Moodyran is Jeff who had probably about what 45 minutes to move your mic around to prepare my Like the last second I decided to. And then waited till we actually hit record and then starts yanking on the mic. So how's everybody doing? Awesome. Great. Fantastic. Yeah. It's bright and early. We're all super energetic now. It's not like one of those lazy afternoon podcasts. So I think that speaking of lazy afternoon podcasts, the first thing we should

probably address is why there wasn't a podcast last week. I was gonna ask. When it affect there was a podcast last week. I was gonna ask. When it affect, there was a podcast last week that did not get released. How's everybody doing from that podcast? Terrible, terrible. I mean, we decided we were gonna make a video podcast of us trying to play co-op flock. Was that was the name of the game, right?

I'd never seen it before then. And it's a game on Xbox Live where you use a saucer spaceship and you heard popcorn. You heard a little puffy sheep and cows and all that and how did it go? It was miserable. Yeah, it was terrible. I can't believe that's a game. I was like a torture podcast It was people ask if we're you know paid for product placement You can tell this is this is definitely not the case now. Thanks crap calm Yeah, so Capcom game I think it was like a port from either a PC game or a PS3 game

They decided to throw out there on Xbox live arcade and I brought it in because we had fun Being lousy at left for dead. I thought let's take a lousy game and play a bad game and all be miserable And it just was like 40 minutes of shit I think eventually we gave up and just gave Joel the controller and made one of him trying to play the game. Yeah, I'm really glad it didn't come out. There were like two entertaining minutes of us watching Joel by himself trying to play, but It wasn't worth the 38 minutes that wrapped around it. Basically the game boils down to Here's a cute game with horrible controls. Yeah, and like you have to like it's almost like trying to like

Imagine a game where you had two like charged magnets and you push one magnet around the table with the other one, and that's it. The other magnet, it just inconsistently will fly off the table and kill somebody. And you think you need to have better like more precise controls. I mean, they got all the way to this planet, you think. We can fly the ship. No, I will say that Joel got to be pretty damn good at pushing all of our sheep into the ocean, which is exactly where they're not supposed to. His best skills pushing sheep into the wall. I was using the door and over. The way he's going to bring down that wall was sheep eventually.

I'll put up a little clip of it just to show because I have it. I'll put up a tiny little clip of it online. I'll see so. It's just the horror of it. It was a good thing that the sheep did like scream every time they hit the water because that would really change the game I think Joel's Joel's best quote the whole thing was I liked it. They squeak If you go ahead and put some post effects in there of screaming as they hit the water I and that thing was I think it was like 45 minutes

I tried to add it down to like a manageable 20 minutes didn't just get Yeah, that anyway, but it would be great for a machine in a series though, right? What a flock machine in would happen. Anyway, it would be great for a machine-in-a-series though, right? What a flock machine-in-a-series. Oh, God, it would be fantastic. A bunch of puffy sheep talking to each other, hitting the water. So, enough of last week's podcast. How about this week's podcast? All right. Well, what should we talk about this week? Well, I think the first thing that affected all of us that we could talk about is that we all got to go see the World IMAX premiere of Star Trek Monday Night, which was really, really cool. Yeah to go see the World IMAX premiere of Star Trek Monday night, which was really, really cool. Yeah, was that the World IMAX premiere?

Yeah, it was the first time I'd ever shown an IMAX. Yeah, but we did not get Leonard Nimoy. No, we didn't get the secret screening. Secret screening with Leonard Nimoy or Damon Lindelof. No, that was cool. Well, describe that then. Oh, yeah, well, we have this theater in Austin called the Alamo Draft House. And they get to, they're just, like, I guess you'd say very well respected in the film world in Hollywood and they do a lot of really cool secret stuff and so

They decided and by they I guess I mean JJ Abrams and Learnimo and Damon Lindelop decided to secretly show Star Trek like the world secret premiere After a showing of Wrath of Khan what I put on they didn't even get through a showing of Wrath of Khan. What? They didn't even get through the showing of Wrath of Khan. Oh, they put it out under the guise of a Wrath of Khan screening. Everyone showed up. They played like 15 minutes of Wrath of Khan. They did the whole, uh-oh, trouble with the reel. Oh, yeah. They showed the movie. They burned the film. Yeah. They burned the film that Leonard Nimoy came out with the actual the new Star Trek movie. It's like, well, let's watch this instead.

And nobody knew. They all fell. And they're just gonna see Wrath of Khan. Yeah. And nobody knew nobody knew well except some people that we know knew and didn't bother telling us and that whole thing happened No, they didn't know that whole thing happened a block from our office probably while we were here working on some bullshit video You know like red versus probably the podcast that we were working on probably yeah, we were probably playing flock But a week later we got to see the movie movie on the IMAX, which is fantastic. What do you guys think of the film? It was awesome. That was awesome.

It's a... Well, we got to... It's not just Alamo that gets those things. It's also Ain't It Cool News, which Harry Noll's a site. Yeah. God bless him. God bless him. He's here in Austin as well.

And so, I don't think I've paid to go see a movie now in the last probably year and a half because a Harry and the guys Made a cool like a quint who also we you know we play poker with him and he throws this free tickets all the time Like I've already I've already got to see up and and and then we got to go see I'm so would if we ever do get free stuff from people We do like you know like Mazorati. We like to go out there So we can't thank those guys enough for you know getting us into all these screenings But it was it was awesome. Yeah, I yeah, I'm gonna be a bit bold here and say that I liked it more than dark night I don't know if I can drop that in front of everyone else Well, it was a very different kind of film. I mean Star Trek was fun and goofy

That's the thing if you popcorn eat if you buy into the Star Trek cannon You know if you love that you'll love the movie. Yeah, and it didn't drag on for two and a half hours like dark night and we will keep this discussion spoiler free in case you're Worry about it. Let the casting was tremendous. I got Carl Urban who played the McCoy McCoy. Yeah, man, you know, in all the in all the previews for Star Trek I thought the guy playing McCoy was checkoff. Yeah, he looked like a checkoff to me also because he looks kind of Russian I was first seen, you know, and it instantly hit you that he was McCoy. Yeah, he looked like a check off to me also. Because he looks kind of Russian. Well, his first scene, you know, and it instantly hit you that he was McCoy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, that speaking of check off without giving any spoilers, he probably has the second funniest moment in the movie, which there's a lot of funny moments in the movie. I mean,

yeah, like very like very tense situations. It's really funny. It keeps the humor. There were times I think maybe they went a little bit too far and in like really tense situations But you know overall was great. It was awesome. Yeah. Good movie. Everyone should see it. Absolutely. I hope they make a billion dollars There's also a cool thing if you've got an iPhone Flash one of the moderators or a site who's also a guy who gets us a ton of free movie tickets He told me about these prequel comics that they have where you can buy them It's a four-part comic series They're like two bucks each. I think they're overpriced because by the time you're done it's eight bucks

For basically about what's it's like a movie ticket. Yeah. Yeah, right exactly You know you're paying eight bucks for the comment the production value of the comic strip was probably not as high as the movie But I don't think I don't think grossing as much cost a hundred and thirty million dollars to produce no I think you're probably right there. Niva did, somebody's pretty happy right now. But I was pretty cool, but I will say this. He kept telling me before I saw the movie to read the comics and you should definitely not do that.

Because if there's one thing that I would criticize Star Trek for besides some of the humor stuff would be the villain, I wasn't too into the villain. And I think the comic makes the villain even a little bit It makes him confusing on top of everything else. So you know messes with this motivation a little bit So would you say the villain was the weakest part of that film? Yeah, well, I mean, I think there's gonna be like when I saw Indiana Jones number four I said when I walked in that movie I said basically there's one thing in that movie that when it happens on screen

You're either gonna accept it or you're to reject it and I completely rejected I reject I don't know anyone that accepted it well I don't know I'm on that I think there's some people that thought that movie was fantastic but I think there is a moment like that in Star Trek but you're much more likely to accept it in Star Trek sure so I'll just say that yeah I mean I hate to give away that they get this crystal skull from Indiana Jones but that's what it's funny because you say that but for my process watching them they lost me before that moment but you know start Indiana Jones watching you before that really yeah I hung with it I had faith and then there was a Joel doesn't like old people I think I told him I think Harrison Ford was rude to him at a

restaurant once when he was out in LA did that happen happen? No. Do you have any Harrison Ford stories from this? I don't. I don't. I've a pretty serious story. I'll stop that one. I think the thing is Joel was secretly dating Callista Flawcart. And then Indiana Jones and his one year old is a year old.

He's a year old. And fucking right. He can't compete with that. Grand Paul with the nearing. He can't mess with the year ring. So what else is going on the movie world? I mean Wolverine came out even though it was heavily pirated and it made like how much? 87 million I think it was adjusted to 85. Do you know what JJ Abrams said he hopes Star Trek makes in the first weekend?

Yeah, he said he hopes it makes $50 million because that's realistic because the last Star Wars movie only made $40 million Star Trek movie. Oh, sorry. Star Trek. Sorry. Sorry. Wow Be careful Star Trek movie. Oh, sorry. Star Trek. Sorry. Sorry. Wow. Be careful. I just turned into my dad. The last Star Trek movie only made $40 million in its total run. And that's such bullshit. I mean, you know, he's just saying that so that if it does bomb, he's like, oh, you know, I was expecting it. No, he's saying it. So when it makes $180 million, it's opening. We can all be like, wow, this is great. We must be good at what we do Didn't expect this speaking of which Jonathan freaks that home like gritting us. Oh, he's probably just

Probably hanging the news right now Why do you think he's hanging the new hanging himself because he knows the star trek next generation movies are over Oh, yeah, or he knows he's never gonna back into another directing job Which one do you think it all of the above? Yeah, by the way, I think technically you were right I think the last star wars movie only made 40 million if you count the Clone Wars as a Star Wars movie. The last Star Wars movie? Yeah. Clone Wars. The actual least. Oh, that's probably true. Yeah. Cartoon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did you see the theater? Look it up right now. I did not. Gus, did you see Clone Wars? No. No. I still

haven't seen it. I did. How was it? How would you? Yeah. It felt exactly like what it was. It was the first three episodes of a television series And that's what you saw. Yeah domestic gross thirty five million dollars. I go I have seen every single one of those Star Wars clone wars that are on Cartoon Network I've seen every single one I'm not doing well It gets to the point with Star Wars where every time I what it's a long time ago where you start watching the movie and it's like okay The guy jumps from the land speed to do this and you just start thinking yourself at some point I'm gonna have to do that in a video game

It's a point of having to do that in a video game that looks hard. Yeah, force unleashed was a good Star Wars release and Blue way clone wars if you know the video game I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah clone wars They introduced like this little girl character in there, which is Anakin's apprentice. And it's just, it's so hard. Especially when they have such cool characters, they don't use. You know, they take awesome characters like Darth Maul, spoiler, and kill him, you know, almost right away, you know, they gave Boba fed a horrible death, which I read later that supposedly he did not. I hate speaking as spoilers. Should we, we're trying to keep this one relatively short. Should we segue into spoiler alert?

Yeah, yeah. Don't give me start on Clone Wars stuff. I'll go for it. We could spend the next four hours talking about Star Wars. Yeah. And there's been great debate about this office about, you know, should we spoil things and start tricking? Not.

Yeah, well, there was. Yeah. Yeah. Jeff, I'm assuming you were about to mention Joel and Matt's video spoiler alert. Yeah, spoiler alert. Yeah. Well, they put out that video, which was great, Joel. to mention Joel and Matt's video spoiler alert. Yeah, well, there's a you know They put out that video, which was great Joel. Y'all did a great job in that very well received on the internet Internet said yeah, there's everybody. I mean everybody worked on everybody. It's you know, that is true

I like to thank Gus had a kind of stunning cameo by me in it as well and I love bags of ice I love that people got that. Yeah me too It was cool. I love the guys who said they saw're really we're really punching up the references here with Jonathan Frank Okay, I guess maybe I should write down the the URLs for the IMDB profiles so people know who they are My wife watched that spoiler-look video and said that she thought mats Matt style and Matt's delivery was a lot like Michael Sarah I don't know who's that I don't see that Who's that? I don't see that at all. He's like a, the kid from Superbad, like the skinny guy.

Alright, this is a f**k stammering kid. F**k this, enough complimenting. The Michael Sarah. F**k that. We're done. We're done complimenting this. That's another IMDV for fresh. Shit, I gotta write all these down. Okay, who is it? It was a... But there was a big debate in the video. We put up a couple of URLs. And we always have this habit of whenever we put a URL in any video, we instantly register it.

Absolutely. What it is. We even own like for instance Captain Incredible with an E. Yes. From the Captain Dynamic series. Yeah, I think Captain Slippery was taken. Yeah. Just like, you know, that's a truth, truth mirroring art.

But, uh, so we grab the domains that we put up in the spoiler alert video and we thought it'd be funny for the people who registered domains Underneath us all the time Because there's a lot of people that when they watch the videos They'll just instantly go out and grab those videos We thought about putting up a bunch of star trek spoilers like mad had made this site and just put up a bunch of spoilers for Star Trek and it was a big debate whether or not to do that now It was the guy who said absolutely not actually I actually pushed it live for about five minutes yesterday

And if you went to zelnerteeth.com, or in that five minute window yesterday, you had the Star Trek movie spoiled for you. But what are we doing right now? We're trying to chase people away from our URLs. That's not, I mean, no signs. We don't do anything with them. Like we have had donut can kisses forever.

Small.com. Small.com. And Gus probably has a entertaining story. We have presidential sluts.com Oh man. Yeah, then every time we register these domains, you know, we have a lot of them. We also have like dickfartviginabut.com and you know, we host our own primary DNS. This is a little technical and anytime we register these domains, I have to send an email to our our co-location facility asking them to do slave secondary DNS. So after I'd emails that are like, dear hostmaster,

can you please slavedickfartvaginabut.com, all of my primary DNS server? And I had to ask them to do, what, daysnapkills, no straightsnapkillsgaydumbledore.com this week? It's always fun. I wonder what the look on that dude's face is, when it receives an email with inbox for me. It's like, what is it this time?

You know, Joel, you're probably the same thought process I do now. Where I'm just going to build in URLs that make us register the most offensive URLs possible. Exactly. Like, we need to start personalizing put Gus's name into URLs like tranny sailor moon dot com. That's going to be the next one. Gus is diary dot com. See now we're going to register these, because I'm into them. All right, so let's talk about the world of video games. Or since we're talking about site stuff with spoiler alert,

do we want to talk about anything else that's going on on the site? Um, we did the open ID thing this week. Gus, do you want to explain why we did open ID? Open ID, it's a system that allows people to create accounts on our site with some information pre-populated. So like let's say you have a Facebook account or I'm not sure all the participating sites are but all use Facebook for an example because I know they're one of the participating sites. You have a Facebook account. You come to our site. You can click, I have a Facebook account. I want to sign up. You click that and it automatically creates an account for

you with your Facebook avatar and your real name as a username But you can change that now. I want to clarify something about this. It's not a Facebook It's not a Facebook account or or a my space account Open ID is the overriding thing here, right? It's like a unified authentication system that all these sites use Right, and what this is is this is something the internet. We've had a social site now for about four or five years is this is something the internet we've had a social site now for about four or five years and this is something I think everyone kind of wants which is like a unified global idea that they can use to log into anything so you don't have to constantly make accounts on stuff. Well it makes sense like people like me I've got like 10 email addresses I don't know what the

fuck I signed up with. Right exactly. And so what is the number one complaint against that that you've heard and well you know the number one complaint against that that you've heard? And... Well, you know, the number one complaint is that people are using it, people could use it to make duplicate accounts. Right, and why is that in valid? Well, that's actually our fault because we kind of fucked up in that when we put it up, we put it up as signing on a Ristratyth with your Ristratyth ID, sign up for a Ristratyth ID, or sign in using one of your other accounts. And the reason why Facebook and MySpace are listed are because those are currently the

big players. If this thing had come around five years ago, it would have been like Geocities and Yahoo and all that stuff, right? So we made a mistake and that we put it up as sign up with one of those accounts or sign in with one of those accounts. And it should have said sign up. It was just a verbiage problem. The wording was a little confusing, nice ringtone.

We went through and tried to adjust it a bit and it's a lot clearer now. Normally what we do with any of these features now is that we push them out to sponsors first, right? And then we test them for a week, work out the little kinks, and then roll them out to the entire site. Obviously, if we have a sign-in thing, we can't tie it into sponsors, so only sponsors can see it, because the site doesn't know your sponsor Until you've signed in so this is kind of something we had to push out there see how it works See the problems with it and then make some changes really quickly which is what I can read you a quick list of the the Size that use open ID. Yeah, it's a Google Windows live ID Facebook Yahoo open ID my space ID flicker WordPress my open ID

AOL live journal and blogger. And it doesn't matter a bit, right? Because it doesn't matter who's using it now, it's just clear that this is in the future what people are going to use. So when, you know, bbop.org comes out and everybody's on bbop.org, 10 years from now, you'll have your open ID and it'll be important.

It's a future proofing thing, you know? And so it just makes sense for us to use it because in the future, a lot more people are going to have open ID and it'll be important. It's a future proofing thing. You know? And so it just makes sense for us to use it because in the future a lot more people are gonna have open ID accounts. And it's a good open standard. It's what you want the internet to be. You don't want the internet to be these five sites, like Facebook or Myspace or whatever's coming out.

Just makes your life a little bit easier. Yeah, exactly right. Exactly right. Like I was, I signed up for the Battlefield Heroes beta the other day and Like I had to sign in with an EA profile. I didn't know I had made right and I didn't remember what email address Yeah, yeah, and if they used open ID or a great example of something we all do that I wish to use open ID is Xbox live every time I go to recover a damn account

It's like what email addresses I use yeah, and and your open ID as long as you know that ID You can change everything else behind it like email addresses. I can't update my email address on Xbox live I will say this windows live ID was one of the listed as one of the participating open ID Sites are they yeah, okay? So there's probably a way to do that But I know Xbox live and live they tied directly to your email address. My email address for my gamer tag is like 60 mail addresses ago. Oh, I see. Yeah, like I used a hot mail account when I sit at my Xbox like I figured it was Microsoft I wanted to keep it all the same. So that's why I can change it. I guess like that. This is normally I want to bring up the one thing in my life that Gus is envious of is the fact that I was in the Xbox Live beta group

Yeah, fuck you I have my special memory. Well, I I got into beta group later than you. Like I got into beta group too, but it was like way past when they were just giving them away to everyone. Yeah. And, you know, I always, I never registered Bernie, I registered BuzzV back then. You probably wouldn't have been able to get it back then.

I couldn't have, because the guy, I found out the guy who has Bernie is actually on the live launch team. Anyway, so that's why, that's why we've instituted this open ID thing. If you're an existing member of Rucherti So you can tie any of your other accounts now into your Rucherti account. It's in the edit profile section It doesn't do anything

Except for log in like it won't it won't tie your Facebook to your Rucherti They won't put updates on one of the other. I know people like to keep that stuff separate. I certainly do It's just a way to log in that's all it is So if you already have a Ruchertith account, you don't need to do anything. You know, it's just for people coming to the site in the future and it allows them to easily log in like that, that P.O. say, well, how long could it possibly take to sign up for an account? It doesn't matter. The fact that it takes time keeps people from doing it. Humanity cannot move forward as a species until we have this open ID and everyone's using it. It was a vital plot point in Star Trek.

What? Don't say that. Spoiler free. Spoiler. Hey, keep in the podcast moving. You mentioned Battlefield heroes. Yeah. You so far are to my knowledge of the only one of us that's played it, but I watched over

your shoulder for a bit. What do you want to give some impressions? Look, well, first of all, I was a little upset that there's not a Mac version. Yeah. We, you know, we're pretty much all Mac in the office now Bernie luckily has his his Dell out there Yes, that's right one of only two Windows machines left in the office. I guess the game repairity video We did six years ago. It's finally come back to bite us in the ass. Yeah no shit. Well, so you downloaded it's it took a little while I'll set up but it seems okay. Yeah, did you have fun playing it? It's it's kind of fun. I mean I

I it's a free game so you can't complain. It looked like Team Fortress 2 and Battlefield 1942 merged. It's not a cool old school. I have some concerns about it. I feel like it takes forever to kill people. Like I have a machine gun and I'm shooting someone in the face. I could shoot them for 45 seconds before they die. Really? I only played it for five minutes, but I got to say I was not overly impressed by it. I also didn't see anyone in a vehicle. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if it was the way the map you were and didn't have any vehicles. Okay.

To me, that's a big part of battlefield. They were the first people to get the get in a tank, get in a plane, do whatever you want you think, right? I feel like the airplane controls are kind of sluggish and weird in that game too. I can tell you the FPS controls are sluggish and weird from what I played. And I said, I said, while I was sitting there playing and Gus was watching over my shoulder, I said, this computer has steam on it. Why wouldn't we just go out and buy team fortress too? And you two made the argument Jeff and Gus that, well, this is a free game. And I'm like, you know, 20 bucks is

there's not much distance between free and 20 bucks for most people. You know what I mean? If it's something you're going to play for 100 hours, you know, or just pick up and play, you know, I would just buy Team Fortress too. Free is free. Free is free. Right.

I mean, that's nice. The cool thing about it too is like maybe on a computer that you're not on, you can just sit down, you know, and just go to the URL, you know, if you move around a lot, especially your school or something like that, you know, it's like a pick up and play game. Also, it's weird how you log in. It's kind of like, it's all browser based. You go to like a website and hit play. Now there's no actual client you launch on your desktop. And we just saw that. We just saw on somebody's Twitter that we know that works at Blizzard that they're now signing up for the Starcraft 2 beta. Yes. Are you going to do it, Gus? I already did it. All right. I think you go to battle.net. Let me look it up.

It's battlenet, right? Yeah. Yeah, you go into your settings and battlenet and make yourself eligible. There's a beta profile. I'll go in. We'll put a link up with this podcast. But the one thing that's nice about a game like Battlefield

Heroes being free is that we can very easily do tournaments on the site. Yeah. That is true. Something that everybody has access to. And so we, because the the complain always here about our About tournaments is like oh, I don't have a 360 helmet supposed to play in the tournament That's not a complaint really. It's just by a fucking 360 point out to you

Yeah, you know, like hey, we're having a halo tournament tonight tonight, and they want a comment great. I don't have halo Don't comment. No, we'll send you a copy is not mandatory. You don't have to comment and tell us you don't have a 360 or you don't have Halo It's like if you don't show up we'll get it We will understand that you couldn't be there for whatever reason. It's like what do you Never Gus I love to go to your comments. Whatever you post a tech question like hey, I'm configuring these two serve 30 comments are all like sorry no idea what you're talking about right now it's the worst thing in the world I wish I had a server must be nice so we've talked about well well well well well well well well well we're on the topic of

video games we're talking about battlefield heroes and stuff that's in beta should we give a quick moment of silence to 3D realms? Oh, yeah. Who just closed yesterday and now Duke Niggum forever is apparently not going to come out? Well, what I'm most concerned about is what is wire going to name as vaporware of the year this year now?

Thank God it's off the list, right? Yeah, it's been 13 years as like an institution. Gusset me an image last night of a GameStop preorder receipt from 2001. Somebody inmate. Yeah, that's, uh, what is it? Silent zero zero. There's like slash zero zero zero is a patient man. Right.

Right. God. I mean, I was honestly, I didn't give a crap about that game. I mean, it's, you know, to me, Sirius Sam is now a better version of Duke Nukem than Duke Nukem ever was. Sirius Sam has come, made like two sequels and gone. I've forgotten about that game. Yeah. Where's the last time they made a serious Sam game.

It was like six years ago. That site that has the list of everything that's happened since Duke Nukem announced and has been in development, it's crazy the amount of stuff that's come out since then. It was like all three Star Wars prequels have come out. All the entire Matrix trilogy, the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, everything that's come out while Duke Nukem forever ever has been probably every Harry Potter movie Yeah, definitely probably Harry Potter Probably maybe Harry Potter now the doubt the when it was announced the doubt was at 5700. Oh

We actually haven't come that far We went really far and then we came back. That's crazy I think the financial thing gets a get to rise out of you guys But anyway, they're do giggling with his dad. It joins the ranks of stuff like phantom and every other piece of paper It was 13 years old. It was announced in 96 97. They said 97 So 90 was before any of us knew each other. I was in my seventh year of college It's before like we met in 98 99 somewhere on there I was I was busy dropping out. We had just wrapped the schedule. Yeah, we

had just finished making the schedule. Joel and I so maybe even a year earlier. Yeah, that's crazy. I was probably in quate in the army. Jesus. That's really long-ass time. We go Jeff. Are you enjoying playing Wolverine or are we allowed to talk about that? Wolverine? Yeah, we'll bring it out for a week. I can't even tell. Is anyone going to see the movie? Joel is playing a game right now for something we're Wolverine yeah, we'll bring out for a week. I can't even tell. Is anyone going to see the money? Is playing a game right now for something we're working on for television commercial?

I wish we could talk about that game. Yeah, that game is fucking awesome, dude But we will definitely later in the later podcasts. We will bring up this game again And we'll talk about the game play is a lot of fun. Oh my god It's great. Anyway, I wish I could even describe like because it's like two things put together But I don't even want to mention that to give it a clue. But yeah, Joel's working on that, like, I had commercial for it, I guess. And the reason you messed about the Wolverine thing

is because you made the TV spots for the Wolverine commercial, right? So hopefully that came off okay, but is anyone going to go see the movie? Um, I, I can't, I don't know. It's hard, I'd like to. Wasn't planning on it. I know, I guess a movie theaters right now,

the only thing to me that's like registering on like that swine flu paranoia level for me. Like I don't want to go sit in a movie theater with a bunch of random people. I just don't want to do it. You know, I just because that's seen an outbreak. It's just, it's like, you know, I just don't want to do it. I don't talk about it because I don't want to seem like a freak, but I just don't want to do it.

To answer your question, Joel, the Wolverine game is, it's fun. I guess, it's a decent game, but it is the most oddly-paced game I've ever played. Like, it's a 5-chapter game. Chapter 1 and 2 were decent. Chapter 3 was as long as 1 and 2 put together, and then it did this thing. People say it's like God of War, I've never played God of War, so I'm not sure. But I got to the end of Chapter 3, and I had a huge boss battle. I thought a Sentinel, which was really cool. And I go, oh, that was the boss for Chapter 3. Then I immediately had a boss battle where I fought the blob and I go let's an odd thing to do stack boss battles back to back

Then chapter 4 started with a boss battle against Gambit So I had three boss battles in a row, which is just really weird and kind of exhausting It sounds like a fighting game like street fighter, but it's not yeah, it's I don't know it's like a hack and slash kind of game that is. And the Gore is pretty. Oh, it's incredibly gory, dude It is like it's bizarre. It's like I can say of the people I know who have seen the movie and played the game Everyone says they like the game more than the movie. I can I can tell you see that it's funny because when we saw when we first saw the opening Sequence for Wolverine it was like gosh I remember what was like, you know, I'm old so it's like like I remember it was like in 1980 and they had had like a villain in a movie.

And now like the hero is put non punishing people and destroying people in a way that the villain would never do. Dude, yeah, you know, it's like. Like you said that and it made me think of like even further back like, you know, folklore in the middle ages. Like, oh, there's a beast that lives in the jungle and he'll rip you apart and he's, you know, invulnerable

and he has metal coming out of his jungle and he'll rip you apart and he's you know invulnerable and Yes, metal coming out of his hands and it'll slice you up. It's like a weird like vampire or something to give an idea of how how I guess brutal that game is I had a sequence the other day where I jumped on a helicopter Punch through the window pulled the dude out of the helicopter and to kill him I could have just thrown him off the helicopter now enough No, I'm gonna stabbed him with my claws. I picked him up and I stuck his head in the road. He has to understand who's boss. That's how he got beheaded.

And then it shows the whole thing. Wow. This shows the blood. He does it. I'm like, standing around. It's a decent game though. It's worth buying, I'd say. Is this the first time where a video game

Tying to a movie is better than the movie. No, I hear chronicles of ridicule is better. Oh, yeah Yeah, supposedly that game was great. I don't know they made they just made a new and dark Athena, right? Yeah, I'm a movie no no they did didn't they? No, they made a not for that game, but I think there's been two riddick movies now I thought there's only one I think I Could be wrong I could be wrong to well the point is it's rare usually the movie is great Not for that game, but I think there's been two riddick movies now, right? I thought there's only one I could be wrong. I could be wrong too. No, the point is it's rare usually the movie is great in the video game sucks Although I hear godfather 2 is better than the movie We talked about that last week and the podcast we didn't put out was that I was wondering why Pixar does not

Make a gaming division. They make such great movies and all the Pixar games suck. And gosh, you pointed out very accurately, the Pixar doesn't make the games. But why not? I mean, they got the same staff that does all that stuff. They have environment designers. They have modelers, textures, everything you need. They just don't have gameplay people or game design people.

But that's like, they could easily do that work together and make I bet Pixar would make awesome games you know. I'd almost want Pixar you know it's like you're right they're so good at making movies I don't want to rather just have them have make a free standing video game not based on them. I can see that yeah yeah absolutely but like cars was it I mean Jeff right it was a bad video game. Cars was a Trojus yeah and then red a two was horrible red a two might be one of the

worst 360 games. Yeah today. Those are the two worst Pixar movies ever so. Dude and how does that how does that fly past quality control? I mean how does that how does that make it through? You think like it's like once you have a branding with you as one thing that's successful then it's like we're not gonna put any more effort into anything around that one successful brand. Yeah they probably don't give a fuck. I mean, they sold seven million copies of that car's video game. Yeah, so what's it matter? It was actually the best selling title that year. Yeah, it outsold everything else.

That's right. Well, can you give me a favor, Jeff? Yeah. You're confusing the shit out of me. Your wife and you on the site are confusing the fuck out of me because you guys change avatars about once every other day. And you guys constantly use avatars of each other and pictures of each other as your avatar I never know who the fuck I'm

talking to it's funny that you see that because my next avatar was gonna be a picture of Jeff I have no idea what you're talking about you'll do that all the time do you know I'm talking to ever had a picture of Griffin is my avatar yes she have what's my avatar right now and she always has pictures of you too well who what you're having what your avatar? I have no idea it's Griffin and Millie. Oh, that's aim. That's different It's like it's like you two guys are consistent in that you always use pictures of yourself But you use pictures of each other all the time. Yeah, my my avatar is a team on our avatar I don't know what you're talking about you're crazy. You're right now

I don't have a I'm not getting trouble for this. I don't think I have a single photo of my wife in my I'm looking I'm looking at a picture of your That's aim. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter I mean I talked to you one more than I talked you on the site. That's true. So cut it out Well, it personally in just defense the funny thing about the avatar of Griffin right there You're looking at a aim is that there's a real name that right next to it I'm changing my aim picture to a picture of Bernie that way when he talks to me Things talking to himself. It's not confusing on the level that I can't figure it out

I mean I could figure it out because that's the name there too But the avatars also be this thing I look at that can identify I hate when people change their avatars anyway Yeah, it's funny especially early on the website when we just when we just started or whatever and you people get Established by that token. How come you don't have your mr. T avatar still from like nine years ago No, I don't like I mean changing avatars is totally different Discussions his avatars his face whose yours. Yeah, Bernie's although that mr. T avatar was probably the greatest It was pretty good. I have a tower. I had the greatest picture I'd ever seen my life is Gary Coleman You still have a short dress is mr. T. Do you still have that in your image gallery? Oh, yeah?

No, I don't have it my image gallery, but I'll put it up. I'll put it up So I need to link that for podcast dude. That was my buzzby avatar. I had that forever forever. I had that and And it's for the longest time. I thought you were Gary Coleman I'm conscious the fact that when I switch my avatar I always switch it. I always go back like right now I've got a drawing that one of the guys in the sight made of me But I'll go back to my other avatar, which was that Luke McKay won the white with black just because you know I think you should have a standard avatar and stick with it

So I'm gonna call for a new avatar trend then which is to post a random other person's face as your avatar Chaos It's like society falling apart the anarchy on the site. No one knows what's going on. It's gonna be and Occasionally somebody on the site will do that somebody will take someone else's avatars I mean if everybody did that on the site just like everyone moved shifted the avatars wanted left or whatever. Yes Oh, it would be anarchy. Yeah, you are your avatar We should build in the thing where you just like randomly assigned you an avatar of someone else on the site Like just picks one or random and then when Christmas comes you have to send a person a secret

Secrets present present secret sailrets, say, or. That's like when people change names on the site too. Or change accounts. I hate that. That's the thing about the whole Open ID thing. People like, well, we can make a different account, right? Look, this, and you can make a different account on the, if you had another email address anyway, you just get banned for it.

And if you want to have one main account on the site and the site account, you're just making, you're confusing for other people. There's no benefit to it at all. You know, and you're gonna end up getting your entire IP band, you know, if you find out that you have duplicate accounts and that, that sucks. And then we have to go through and investigate and figure out why.

Gus just showed me the greatest image of Gary Colman ever. You shouldn't have talked about it. It's not something I can actually find out. I just found out thumbnail through Google. It's like cat copy. What is it? Him as a security guard? No, it's Gary Colman standing between two women. But I guess since he's so short, he's like right at. What is it? Him is a security guard. No, it's Gary Coleman standing between two women But I guess since he's so short he's like right at boob level and crushing his face. I remember that episode

Nice. He looks very happy in the photo. Got another thing. You know what this happened to me last night I'm on the topic of things to drive me crazy. This fucking drives me crazy. I had to go out last night One of my one of my kids had a sore throat So I had to go out and pick up some antibiotics for him at the pharmacy. Why when people go to the drive-through pharmacy, which is like the greatest invention in the history of the world, if people are sick, they don't have to get out of their cars, they just get their prescriptions filled and drive to pharmacy, when you drive up to the drive-through pharmacy and you hand over your

prescription and they say this is gonna take 30 minutes to fill. The correct answer is never okay. I'll wait right here Right in the drive-through, right? Who the fuck are these people that will sit there for 30 minutes in their car and not drive around the building once or anything like that? The employees have to tell them to move, right? Yeah, this doesn't actually happen when the Donalds gets too busy They say pull up front and we'll bring it out to you. They do not do this They do and it's like a total random crapshoot and when you end up in this drive-thru pharmacy line We get our stuff called in like whatever kids these are prescription-filled You know you just you just call it in and then you just go pick it up and that's it takes two minutes That's it

But if you get wedged in between two cars and the person in front of you is will literally sit there sometimes for 30 Bucking minutes. It's just you want to smash them like they wouldn't stand at the cash register and block the cash register Waiting for their prescription to be filled if they were inside the store. I know what the fuck is wrong with these people just say into the morning They're sick. They're sick. They're sick. They're speaking of 30 minutes of the party. I was driving by the CVS near my house Yesterday and I saw some dude pull into the CVS off of Lake Austin Boulevard, opened the driver's side door, lean out and throw up. Wow.

Nice. I got a car with six. And at the clean least. If I'm in throw up mood, I'm not driving anywhere. I'm like, I'm living at the house, you know? That's a good excuse to say home. Jesus, I don't know. I didn't understand people.

I thought you were gonna talk about how people get soundtrack pro and parking front of that. No, I don't want to talk about that either. Soundtrack pro, fuck soundtrack pro. I'm in dealing with that thing trying to record these podcasts. I don't wanna get into that. I don't wanna get into that. I wanna torture you guys with my technical problems. I don't wanna torture the rest of the world with it.

Because when I, look at this way, when I have a technical problem, when I have a technical problem in this office, everyone has that problem. Everyone knows it. Bernie smash. It is not, it is not, I don't isolate myself with has that problem. Everyone knows it. Bernie smash. It is not, it is not, I don't, I don't, I don't isolate myself with the problem. It is everyone's problem at that moment. Yeah, because it's like, you know, a problem in soundtrack Pro can all of a sudden mean, you know, a problem for the desk and a hole.

Yeah, I banged a hole in one of our desks one time with a controller. But that was, that was what the halo problem I was having. And so now we have a permanent dent in one of the desks. Matt has adopted a great policy though now. He just he just says, huh, that's weird I know I'm not gonna get any like any kind of empathy from that or any kind of help from that So I don't even go to him anymore. We're fucking is huh that's a great strategy. Especially if it's a Mac problem. He does that so All right, I guess that's it. We anything else discuss. I don't think so

So all right, I guess that's it. We anything else discuss. I don't think so I'm just helpful tip.
