Welcome to the drunk tank. Today is Wednesday, December the 16th. Yes it is. At which point when you say the date you have to say, man, this year has gone by so fast.

How did it happen? How did that happen? I was started, the year has gone by so slow. It's been dragging. Has it been dragging for you? Not at all. This has been a very, like, it's easy to plot this year in my sort of playbook. Like, it started out really, really shitty and got really good towards the end. Like, that's my life for the year. We'd like to welcome our special guest,

Jack Patillo. Am I still a special guest? Not so special. Yeah, I think I'm just a guest at this point. Are you? Yeah. He's like the third man, though, or fourth man, I guess. Out of five. Particularly, it's me. What's up, Gus? But Gus isn't here today because Gus is not here today because he will be traveling later this week and so he took a day off today to prepare to travel. That's all we're not going to say.

Come on, let's get into it. The best part about that was the when we figured out that today we had to do a podcast and the guy that runs a podcast didn't leave instructions or anybody in charge or... Nope, anything. Just showed up and we're like, isn't Tuesday... Is it podcasting? It's podcasting.

So Bernie, you took the bull by the horns and took charge. I guess I did. And Joel Heyman, congratulations. Joel Heyman is not with us either because Joel is also traveling. So Joel had to go to the salon. It's gonna be a very pretty primped term permed day for Joel. What do you think it's like to be with Gus and Joel on a plane together? Very quietly uncomfortable. Quiet quiet. He worked. Yeah, for sure. Maybe five or six words said the entire time. Joel, I bet Joel and Gus communicate in the way that I married couple that's been together for 40 years. Communicate. I think the, well, I, uh, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's issue. Yeah. What's that? We'll back that up some other time.

OK, OK. But I think that is drink the whole time. Who do you think pays for the number? I wonder who does. I'm curious. So. So what was it like to fly with Joel and Gus? Well, they're up front.

And I was back in the back by myself. So I don't know. I'm assuming there was no stewardess is going crazy and asking, you know, screw me about orange juice or anything like that. But you don't know what I'm talking like there was no, no stewardess is going crazy and asking, you know, screw me about orange juice or anything like that. But you don't know what I'm talking about. No, what are you talking about? Oh, so some American Airlines flight attendants

apparently went bonkers on some guy in first class recently. And it was on consumerist. And anyway, so this flight attendant, she went and talked to the captain because she just had a rough day or something and then she took it out on this guy. She then went to the captain and got him to sign a form saying, you were threatening one of my flight attendants and actions may be taken.

And meanwhile, everyone in first class with the guy spoke on his behalf and then it's a huge debacle. And now Delta has come out and said, anyone who is on that flight, we will automatically give you gold status on airline, just to get you away from American. Wow. Yeah. What, it's usually Delta stepped into the mix

and said, we'll give you gold status on our airline. I assume for a year? I don't know. I'm not sure exactly. It's on consumerist, though. The whole story is up there. The response was like, Delta read that story on consumerist and then emailed them.

It said, hey, if any of those people who contacted you about this flight get ahold of us, we'll take care of them. I was on that flight. Yeah, how would they know? Those from Sacramento to Dallas. See, that would be the ultimate kick in the ass, right? Is that Delta says, okay, we'll give anyone who's on this flight gold status. 10,000 people say, I was on the flight.

And then Delta goes, hey, hey American can we get the manifest No, what fuck you buddy Give him all go. I'm gonna say I was on it. Yeah, hell yeah There's gotta be some way you have to prove it or something like that like show the sort of record I would assume I was on the flight Maybe because the big news think about this you might know give us platinum Yeah, here's a better question prove I wasn't on the flight that's true I didn't give his clap. Yeah, here's a better question prove I wasn't on the flight.

That's true. Oh, it's Bernie. Oh, no. It's my wife. I talked to my wife. Yeah, it's up. Pro speaker. Here we go.

Hey, buddy. Hey, what's up here? We're doing the podcast right now. Can I give you a question real quick? Yeah, go ahead. I'm at the store and they have those halos. What is it? You're looking at?

Was it mixed fairly? Or stuff? Is that the brand? It makes Farland. Yeah, that's the car. What do you want? A brute bodyguard? I've brought you. Yeah, he'd like a brute bodyguard. I'm sure.

What about a flood, pure form stalker? What does it look like? I don't know what that one is. A flood, pure form stalker? What does it look like? It looks like a tree branch it's like bleeding let's say a tree branch is bleeding okay yeah that's not right he'd like that we'd be back in the package what does it say on the back of the

package is that like a description okay what else is there Eva Eva is that from the wallie EVA? Oh, oh, oh, oh EVA is and what does that one look like? Okay, yeah, just go ahead. Yeah, I'd say that one's good too A Grinch. Oh, yeah, grunt. What does that one look like? Oh yeah, grunt. What does that one look like? It looks like a little monster guy with big cheeks. Okay, yeah, that's good. He's got like a pointy. He looks like he's wearing a sailboat on his back. Yeah, I think all the I think all those are great. I think you'd like it. No, no, no, no, no, no. They're Jeff and Jack are doing a video in the background. So I think I'll go. Yeah, those all sound good.

Looking at the same time. Yeah. I'll get them. And if you don't like them, we just take him back. Okay, I'm sure he'll love him. Okay. All right. Bye. Well, I hope your son doesn't listen to the podcast. I hope your wife doesn't listen to the podcast. Why would I let my son listen to the podcast? That was my wife shopping for halo figures for my son, because JD has, my kid has discovered

that if he goes on eBay and can look up Lego, he can find guys that have made custom Lego sets with their own photocopied instructions. And for say, a warthug or a scarab tank, it's like $800. What? And he doesn't have any concept of how much stuff costs. He puts on his list of what he wants from Santa. He put just a list of things that are ridiculously expensive.

Like one of our kind items. Can I add to that list? Yeah, I know. There's some stuff on him. He had like, scarab tank, custom made, you know, clone wars, troop transport, custom made. Dude, you know, I live in very different worlds. Faberjee egg. Flight on spaceship one. Exactly. So he's like, you know, Mickey Mantle, Rookie card, that kind of thing. Those Lego things are pretty popular actually. Those guys who do like the custom Lego stuff. Actually, I did that Batman logo and I ended up giving to you, right?

Yeah, that was really cool. I have a Batman logo sitting at home that's made by Jack. Yeah. You have a video of you doing that in timeline. Yeah, I've got a timeline to do. Actually, the whole idea was I made it, I was working for a video game publisher and we heard the Lego Batman license maybe up for grabs. So we, we pitched traveler's tales, right? Those guys make the Lego games. We pitched them on publishing the Lego Batman games. So my boss at the time asked me to make, he said, make something cool out of Legos and being a huge

geek that I am, I love Legos. And so I found a custom program online where you can actually like it's like a CAD program for Legos And you can actually design out like a whole like whatever you want and then it'll tell you exactly what pieces you need to create What you just made in this program and there are websites you can go to where people will sell you individual pieces of Legos And so I bought enough to make the thing and then made it for work. It was pretty awesome. And you should you should never ever show that to my kid. He would just make stuff all day. We could be like an engineer something that could help out. Yeah you know he says he wouldn't go up he wants to be a Lego set designer himself so. You guys want to Lego World right out in California? Yeah that was pretty cool. We went out there before Comic Con

and the best part of that was the shop where they showed the guys working, building everything that was going to be in Lego land. That's cool. Yeah, I think they made the miniature Las Vegas strip, which I thought was pretty cool. That is pretty cool. Yeah. Speaking of the Las Vegas strip, it wasn't held there, but the overall tone reminds me of it. Did anybody see the VGA's the spike video game awards?

No, I just read about it. By the way, it's one of those things where the acronym is wrong. It's you want to call the VGA awards, but but it's VGA. It's just the VGA. Hit the ATM machine and then go see the VGA awards. That's exactly right. It's a sad that uncharted too guy game of the year. Yeah. Yeah. It definitely, in a nutshell to me, the VGA's feel like a marketing sletfest. I don't know if I'm using that term correctly, but it is non-stop promotion. And that's why I'm not surprised that a game that came out in the last month, guy game of the year. Well, it seems very, very in the moment.

Sure. Well, for me, the VGA is like, they try to push the whole idea of video games as this, you know, it's a new, it's a mature thing now, video games are turning. And then I think two years ago, the VGA, which is the premiere award show for video games, the winners were painted on naked women. Like the names of the games were painted on naked women.

And that was like, their ballot that they opened up and announced the winner. And it's like, how are they open to naked women like the like the names of the games were painted on naked women And that was like their ballot that they opened up and announced the winner and it's like Oh, they opened a naked Well, where do you go from there? But it's like really like how does this in how does this help out Video gaming culture in general like did they did they spell the winners out with Cox? Wasn't that the one where what was the one where gameCock came up and that was that was an interrupted those motherfuckers fucking but I mean like the really okay to me sort of the Kanye West they came up and interrupted the bio shock was kids on yeah Kimberley can live in accepting for game of the year for bio shock which granted I would

have interrupted and said what why was bio shock bio shock is what what did a beat that your GTA 4? Yeah, no, no GTA 4 was this year. No, no GTA 4 is it well over a year ago It didn't come out the city years bio shop. I think it beat that and I got a shot came out in 2007 Then a beat hail of three as well. Yeah beat hail of three and mass effect It didn't it didn't yeah I remember wait wait. I'm careful think it for 2008? Yeah, okay? I've shocked 2007 dude. How about that reach trailer? It's pretty cool. I thought it was awesome. Did anyone else pick up on the welcome to the group number six or something like that?

There was a couple things in that reach. There was a hint of six player. I'm assuming co-op and if that's true I am very very happy. Yeah, let me ask you a question. Do you think you can get together six people to play co-op on a regular basis? No. On a regular basis? It is Halo though. It is Halo. But you also have to deal with the five people

you're going to get together, fucking retarded. Probably. That's true. Well, I mean, I figured if we want to do a sit down and do a run through the entire game, that first, like, out of a month of the game being out, you could pull it together pretty easily. But at this point, how difficult is it to get a left for dead group to play through the game. But right now, left for dead too. Left for dead too.

Well I can tell you that somebody in this room was too busy Saturday to play left for dead on expert because he was watching gossip girl. That was that was the excuse that came back at me over aim. Sorry, it wasn't even him. He couldn't even admit it himself. Jeff's wife comes back to me and says, sorry, Jeff can't play left for dead with you. He's too busy watching gossip girl. Dude, it's a great show. You're a fucking idiot. I just got into it.

It's a fun one episode. That's a stand-tastic. Bleak lively, right? Yeah, and then the mason and all those hot ass ladies. I will tell you this though. You made the right decision. Yeah, you guys played for four hours and couldn't be Dark Carnival on the next part. We could not be though. You made the right decision. Yeah, you guys played for four hours and couldn't beat Dark Carnival. We could not be

Dark Carnival on the experiment. Where do you where do you where does the blood the blame lay? Um, who was playing by the way? Pretty much with everybody. He's not in Japan. He's burning Andrew Finch and Joel, right? We have this guy that we play games with whenever we want to win and his name is Andrew Pan and we you probably heard about his name mentioned Jeff and Jack's achievement 100 videos. Yeah. He's from Canada and he's a ringer. I mean we put him in anything and we can win. He was on a Gripball team. We made it to the championship. Yep. Every time he was on my Gripball team. Never one, but you

know, at least we got there. And we played with him and Lifer did too. We were on that finale for I think an hour, maybe an hour and 15 minutes. And Andrew was wiping and we just gave it up. Yeah, it sucks. Jesus. You know, I look for dead two's fucking hard though. Well, the real problem is you pull tanks now on an expert, which is hard enough, but now the horde just never stops on the finale. So imagine fighting a horde and a tank. It's just not it can't be done. Yeah, you know, I mean, it can be done. People have gotten it, but I've also heard tales of glitches and yeah having having the achievement of beating all the left for dead one Campaigns on expert. It's one of my proud were achievements blood harvest on expert was fucking brutal

Yeah, but then you could do the melee thing in the closet until they fixed it Yeah, I didn't do that though all that shit was fixed by the time I got ready to play remember I started left for dead months after he did there is a problem with like if you update your game That you're losing a lot of the ability to get stuff that other people have been able to exploit for months and months Hey, but speaking of left for dead the DLC announcement yesterday was pretty crazy. What do you think about that? I think it's awesome. All right. We'll talk about it All right So it was announced yesterday that the first DLC for left for dead two will be coming out sometime early next year Which is gonna be very crowded DLC space next year,

next spring. And that it will re, it will not re-unite, it will unite the left for dead one characters with the left for dead two characters in some interesting playable way. So it'll take place after, like, I don't know. Like somewhere, I'm not sure where it takes place in the storyline.

So will it be left eight dead? Left eight? Maybe you'll get your eight player co-op, Jack. There you go. I don't know, that's a good question though. And I think that they said there'd be new multiplayer modes too. That's cool. So the new multiplayer mode that they have in Leafford

and to Scavenge is awesome. Yeah, it's way better than survival. How would you, let me ask you a question. OK, just an idea for an MMO game. OK. How would you like an MMO game? It's totally player versus the environment, but it's a zombie apocalypse and you're in a compound and you just have to work with a group of other people to maintain the compound for in real time Like it's constantly being attacked and you have to get resources and leave every now and then to go get stuff and then just return to the compound

I love it. I think it'd be awesome. How big would that MMO be? How many people could you have in that theoretically? Well, you'd have a series of compounds around the world, and you would spawn in a compound with seven other people, maybe. Yeah, and I guess you could do player versus player at some point, and you could do that, or as you start to whittle down and you guys die, and then they have to roll

new characters in different compounds, maybe then you could get to a different compound and try to join forces with other people, but you'd have the hazards of trying to get from point A to point B through the zombie world. It would be, it could be awesome. Where's Gus when you need him? You know, it's funny,

because I said MMO, but the only reason I said MMO is not for the massively multiplayer part of it, but more for the persistent world part of it. And it's interesting that there's no persistent world small games. Like, why can't you have a six player persistent world game? Yeah. And you just go as long as you can and people can leave for 12 hours at a time and drop

back in and you'll be awesome. Check on things. I guess can you do that with like some of those farm? What's the thing on Facebook ever in place? I don't know anything about. I don't know. Farmville? Is that what it's called? Sure. You know, it's, thing on Facebook ever plays? I don't know anything about farmville? Is that what it's called?

Sure. You know, it's, it's, I know it's talking about it. Civoni or one of those things. No, no, no, no, it's on Facebook. I think it's a, it's called farmville. More people play that game than use Twitter. That's a stat the Facebook put out. Well, there's a ton of those free and the most

that tons and tons of people play. Like Moby Nagy and all of those that have likes that tons and tons of people play like Moby Nagi and all of those that have like have more users than wow you know. I read about some free MMO that makes 280 grand a month and they're approaching profitability wow for being a free MMO. And then we do a guy who helped us in the early days of Red versus Blue. He went off to go make one of those mafia games where you you know gather resources you know and then you you can you can spend money in real world dollars

to get things in the game and build up your army and your mob and then everything wipes every six months. Was that Sandman? Yeah, yeah, he was going off to work on that. And at the time, I was like, yeah, I'm just not, I don't think it's a real business. I don't think it's a real kind of game, but yeah, sure enough, five years later,

it's a huge business. All those microchance action games, yeah, they do really well. Yep, I think that's what I think that's a form of. But for like every one of those that succeed, there's a huge business. All those microchance action games, they have to do really well. Yep, anything else but I think that's a bit formal. But for like every one of those that succeed there's a hundred that never did, right? Probably. Sure, well that you can say that about anything. That's true, I see.

Yeah, I mean, do this. Wait, wait, wait, what you gotta be like that? Before we get too far away from it, it's speaking of MMOs. Wow, just released a new update. I don't know if anyone cares about this now since Gus isn't here, but I guess I'll step into the wow role. Go ahead. There's actually a new quest helper, like guide. I don't know if anyone cares about this now since Gus isn't here, but I guess I'll step into the wow roll go ahead

Um, there's actually a new quest helper like guide So if you have your quest log you pop it up and you're in like it will show you the map and sort of the area you need to be in So like there've always been add-ons of stuff that kind of show you where stuff located, right? But now it's part of the game. It's actually like it's really neat how they do it too Like it won't tell you specifically where stuff is But it'll be like in this general area and it'll give you like a little circle on the map, it's really neat how they do it too. Like, it won't tell you specifically where stuff is, but it'll be like in this general area, and it'll give you like a little circle on the map. Like, it's in here, find it. And it kind of helps out, you know?

I guess so, yeah. I mean, I suppose in the early days, they hope that you would do that stuff in game where you would talk to other people and find out. Yeah. And then people just made databases like, what's it called? Lightheaded.

No. That's what I use. That's an add-on but yeah like wow wiki like wow head and wow wiki yeah like all yeah they probably have changed over time so I used them but there was like a wow pd or something like that and you just look up whatever you wanted to and wow head that don't know yeah that's one of them yeah but before we get even further away from the VGA so the VGA's They were an endless commercial for video games. Well, that's all they are to me It's like we now have three points in the year where game companies release trailers we have e3 packs and

The VGA's you say announced two big games yesterday that I had no idea where even coming out more to It's quite a few I mean to the wrong to that I care about okay, they didn't know that it existed I didn't know we're coming you know like I had it hadn't crossed my mind that there would even come close to announcing a Batman sequel Or I mean you had to assume it would happen at some point, but I didn't know it was gonna They were gonna announce it for next year's release. Well, what they announced they announced Batman Arkham asylum to yeah Forson leech to reach reach is already announced. Oh, you're saying just got a clear boost. Yeah, yeah true crime three Yeah, that games. I don't't really know much about the true crime series, but yeah, only knows the second one had Christopher walk in it. It's like a show on an e true crime. It's starting seasons

ago. Mm hmm. Oh, what's that? No, well, I've seen I've seen clips of it on the soup, which is all I need. Looks awesome. Yeah. I've been watching Derek, uh, Derek comedy. Have you been watching community? No. That show is getting better and better every single episode It seemed pretty funny when I've the first few episodes that I watched I just you know, but it's funny I said there I watched it with my dad actually and I'm laughing at everything that's coming on the screen and he kind of gets every Fifth joke. It's very very fast paced but in very pop culture referenced so I don't know I dug this shit out of it though It's shit out of it really I did I dug in That do they ever talk into the camera on that show no, okay good. It's not like a pseudo reality show kind of this kind of thing

No, no, it's it's a it's a serialized comedy One camera comedy all right. Well, here's this this kind of comes together with something else. I wouldn't try to do okay Since we're not talking about TV shows We never have awards so I figured let's have some awards So give me some nominations. We'll take some nominations this week for nominations from the community as well and the drunk tank group And then next week we'll come back with who we think should win so a TV show best TV shows in 2009 30 rock Community I'm gonna put V on there The office is always on there madmen.

It's like anything that's come out in the last two months is a lot easier to keep track of all right, and then what about a What about Dexter any of you guys watch Dexter? I the finale just happened apparently and everyone's going bat shit over it. Yeah, so I'm just gonna put Dexter in there There are people who watch it everything. I read about that finale is just I haven't read anything about it I've seen the show once I saw the first season is good wasn't yeah All right, so think about TV show some more if you have any ideas for TV shows for that should be nominated for the drunk tank TV show of the year

Yeah, I just haven't played it see a little big planet Maybe that's not the share 2009 wasn't no, they're still pushing little big planet on Sony ads I think they put out PSP game. I think they put out a game of the year edition for it actually where they had a bunch of DLC Included with it. I just got the game is DLC I'm not not it's all user-created maps. No, no, no, it's just a lot of that but are you sorry my like costumes like that DLC? No, they put they put yeah costumes and levels in there

But the game itself is not that. I mean, it's not a shell game. It's, yeah. I thought that was the whole idea. Like the game was tools to make your own levels. I know there are. There is, I mean, there is a sort of game to it, but the actual, the majority of the game is user-created stuff, right? No. I would, I mean, I'm sure there's people who play that game for two years straight, and they would say yes to that, but I played the game and played through the campaign. It was eight levels with three like individual Levels inside those levels whatever the hell you are calling

Dash one. I don't know what the fuck you call it sub levels. Let's go Super Mario on there too. Oh, yeah That's a great game. Okay, I'm gonna talk about some more I go to buy Super Mario brothers for the week. Yes, when they came out came what, two weeks ago? Yes, the four-player Wii game. Okay. It's fucking sold out. Sold out. It is sold out.

It is sold out. That's impossible. That's shocking. That's it for me, okay? That is, that's the end. I'm not buying any more Nintendo stuff. Because you cannot tell me that they cannot produce enough discs to get stuff on the shelves. It sold, we saw the NPD numbers.

It sold what? A fourth of what modern world? It sold for 1.39 million copies. And it's, what are worth for a two sold, how many? Six million. And it's not sold out anywhere. No, you go, you go by 10 copies of modern warfare in every store in America right now. So Nintendo is literally manufacturing this demand

where you go in and you find that something is sold out. I understand it, I understand it with with hardware but for a disc no fucking way Yeah, that's the easiest thing in the world to do is mass-produced discs. What was it even out in Japan before came here? I don't know how can you under produce that game? You you have more consoles on the market than any other console. Yeah That and if they didn't they didn't make a million copies that they make two million copies They literally did not make two million copies It doesn't make sense and there's not a store in Austin You can go in right now and buy that game and it's not because

They get 50 copies every Tuesday in at every store and they're immediately off the shelves They get three or four in and those three or four are sold. Yes. There is no and it's like making appointment to show up And maybe you'll get your super Mario. Yeah, it's stupid. It's fucking stupid. It's really stupid It's insulting. I mean the only other thing I can assume is that their margins at that company are so fucking slim That they can't end up with discs on the shelf do at the level that they're producing at that their manufacturing discs Those discs are almost free to make you got a figure. It's fucking bullshit. They're they're paying their paying pennies to make a disc Yeah, it's it's some kind of weird like making extra consumer punishment that they're going through Yeah, I'm taking off the list Did you birdie just turn into Alex Jones there all of a sudden? Do you see that?

No, the hand motions and the yelling was great. He's justifiably. Oh, no, absolutely sure I mean Nintendo that people who love the Wii is they oh my Wii is the best console ever say no, no, it's not and The games that come out like oh oh well every game sells out every time It's it's this exactly you know what's you with smash where there's brawl comes out And it's like oh, you know it's sold two million copies first day It's like well because there's no other fucking games for the week Yeah, that's what you want to play but if you have how many consoles in the market 25 million? Yeah 25 million consoles in the market and you don't have the faith to print more than two million of your own fucking game

Yeah, you know, it's like it's some kind of giant ruse I mean, I don't know why if I'm a developer I'd ever make a game for the Wii ever because they don't have the faith that they can sell their own Major their primary title Famous sell it two million two million copies. They didn't be like if in this printed a half a million odst discs for day one Yeah, and we'll work it out from there Like people want it. We'll do post-orders or something It's fucking borrowed from your friend right? Fucking the art. The really annoying thing about it too is that

That's a kids console and that's a kids game kids are gonna want to play that game So they're actively creating some kind of situation where they're gonna disappoint kids at Christmas Yeah, congratulations and kind of situation where they're gonna disappoint kids at Christmas. Yeah, congratulations Nintendo you're the fucking Grinch Thanks for ruining Christmas. I did see in PD numbers the other day for the 10 best selling games of the year I wish I had in front of me. I don't but only two games were non Nintendo games. Wow Modern warfare and ODST The other eight were fucking Wii titles. We are DS probably. Yeah, we are DS

What is a DS big screen come out here? No, I thought it was out the Excel or whatever I think it's out in Japan and it'll be here and they won't have enough units to sell here Did Super Mario come out in Japan before came out in the US? I don't know and in this case I know it may not have this may have been the first global launch. I Probably wrong. They don't get to use the word launch global launch. I'm probably wrong. They don't get to use the word launch. They just get to say start because launch implies velocity and a vector. The global trickle and they have neither. God it's so it's so fucking aggravating. It's

frustrating. I mean it just shows it just shows a lack of their understanding of what the American consumer experience is like. I played that game at a friend's party about a week ago, and it was so much fun. I thought maybe I'll go by a week so I can play this game. And I went to Best Buy the other day, and I was picking up another game. I don't know what it was, at Sabotor maybe. And I thought, yeah, I'll see. No, just not there.

Game about two weeks. And the Wii itself. Stupid. Hopefully that was in stock. Yeah, the Wii was in stock, but I wasn't going to buy it without the game. I would have impulse purchased the game and the Wii, and given Nintendo $300 of my money. But instead, I'm never going to do it. Right. Because the impulse is over.

I don't want the game badly enough now, and I'm mad at them. But I think what they do is they generate this thing where if you see it in stock, you say, okay, I have to get it, because it's here. Yeah, yeah. But you fucking Mario dude, you're going to buy's here. Yeah, yeah, but you fucking Mario dude You're gonna buy it anyway. Well, I got started. I agree. Nobody's gonna stand there with our arms folded and go New Mario game. I don't know they do have 50 I can always come back next week. No, it's Mario. You're gonna buy it It's master chief. You're gonna buy it. Yep. It's grand theft auto. You're gonna buy it

There are certain titles that you know are going to sell it's gossip girl. You're gonna buy it It's gossip girl gonna buy it. Yeah, what is gossip girl? What is it? It's Blake Lively? What happens on it? Give me an average episode of gossip girl. It's just like a Like Felicity or Dawson's Creek or it's like any of those shows It's like deals with like high school college age teens living in a city like you know Is it on MTV make it no, it's on CW Can we talk about Jersey Shore? No, no, let's keep talking about it just for a minute longer It's about like rich upper upper east side New York kids. Oh, so people people I would hate basically

So I have a question about this so when you're watching an episode of Gossip Girl what the fuck is wrong with you? I just dude. I like super question. That's all I could say. I appreciate good tellers. That's what I have TV How do you watch it Netflix? I put up current episodes you're watching old ones. No, I'm watching on disc I'm watching season one right now. Oh really? Yeah, so they've solved their drama though and hear you are behind I'm trying to catch up. They've already moved ahead. There's new drama every week. Don't worry That's I had issues with the movie Cloverfield. I mean, this is a weird jump, but you know, the movie Cloverfield, right? Yes. It's a jump from something shitty to something shitty. Exactly. The reason why I hated

Cloverfield was the main characters in that movie were the snobby, super rich elite people from New York City, these young yuppies in New York City. And those were your main characters, and immediately I'm like, I don't like getting these people. Like the only people I liked in that whole movie was the guy operating the camera. I was just sitting by the camera. Yeah, because he was kind of goofy and kind of dumb and is like, all right, well I can, I like this guy, but fuck everyone else. And then the movie is boring. There's no monster. I thought it was pretty cool. I like the scene where they went up in the skyscrapers fell over. That was awesome. That was pretty neat. And they walked out. I like the whole movie. That was pretty cool. I like the scene where they went up in the skyscraper fell over. That was awesome. That was pretty neat and they walked out like the whole movie I was great. I really would probably yeah, I enjoyed the hell of it. I don't know. I got I got bored like I

Saw people in the movie that like a cop in his son like I would rather see that guy story Then these this yuppie who's about to move to Hong Kong, you know like I guess Everybody in every compelling character and every movie or TV show that you watch has to be like poor or middle class, you can't, there can be no divergence in culture or, you know. If you wanna relate to these characters, you want someone you can like feel for, but it's like these people I don't want them on.

Everybody has to be like, mid 20s, Texan who lives with his parents, for it to be in an entertaining story. That's it. No, we get it. Let me tell you that on a set of man men. Guy goes into his office, another guy in the suit comes in his office. They start smoking and drinking whiskey, and then they hit on the secretary, then they sell Maytag washers, and then somebody gets divorced.

Awesome. Yes, he does, and it seems compelling to me. And that Maria... Crazy. And that Maria Hendrix chick isn't it. Yeah, it's all... Oh my god. She's back on the show, too. Oh, she was off the show? Well, she kind of went away. Not to give any Hendrix chick isn't it. Yeah, it's all she's back at the show, too Is she she was off the show? Well, she kind of went away not to give any spoilers if you haven't watched Mad Men

But she kind of just as a natural evolution of the story She went away for a little bit and then came back. See I don't think I the thing that that turns me off to that show And I'll sit down and watch it and I'm sure it's a really good show It's a good show and I know that it's written by women And I know that a lot of the writers are from the sopranos and that it's very well produced and I hear nothing but great things about it. But the the misogynistic overtones I think would bother me. Take it easy. Says the guy who watches gossip girl. Take it easy. What's so? What's wrong with coming out of this? I'm more in touch with my inner female than you are. I can watch gossip girl. Take it easy. In Veronica

Morris. Yeah. Okay. Buffy the vampireire Slayer, you know all those clearly sexually balanced video games Yeah, I'm sure you know, I'm sure that's that's a formula entertainment you're quite these with yeah totally so how's the New to the DLC and saboteur treating you wow by the way why the fuck am I in the comic like I'm playing I've never touched a game and you're the one over there with your your new to you know What do you like the first shot of the game as a topless chick? Dude singing you have to ask my wife. I'm a retconic Yeah, she's want to put you in it. She doesn't want I wife That's funny. She doesn't want me to be in every kind of like obviously so we got to like gotta take creative license

As soon as you said my wife she popped to my name. That's funny. Hey do you think, Sean? Hey, Brandon made the comic for the first time ever, right? Yeah, he was excited about that. He was pretty excited. Did he get a shirt? Did he get a print made? I think he might have, for example, he's got a friend and said it was more. OK, here's what we have for video games for the year.

OK. We have Assassin's Creed 2, ODSD. Was Dead Space last year? Last year. That was last year, 2008. ODSD, brutal legend. Batman, Arkham Asylum. Uncharted 2. And he scratched out the a protest Super Mario Brothers Wii. So I'm gonna leave that on. I know there was other stuff that was, I can't think of it. There's a lot of, do we put, is Monor Warfare 2 on

there? I left it off. There's a lot of decent games like Godfather 2 and Sabotour. I wouldn't vote for Monor. Oh, Dragon Age. You might want to put Dragon Age up there. People really dig that. Yeah, but we got to, we got to kind of whittle these down. We're not the Oscar for 10 nominees each. It's true. It's true. All right. So let's let's put all this down. TV shows. We're going to this again. 30 Rock V office South Park Mad Men Gossip Girl lust. What? Oh, lost. Lust. Hey, no. That'd been awesome show. Lost and Dexter. Okay, here's what I'm going to do. I would take off V that's your veto you get a veto Jeff What do you get a veto I'll actually veto gossip girl because I haven't seen the season? I don't know if it's good I'm not gonna knock off Dexter, but I'm gonna knock off South Park because that's the thing and I'm gonna knock off office come on I thought this is a good season of office would you vote would you vote for office or would you go for met or office or 30 rock?

She I would vote for 30 rock over the office that'd be tough that'd be a coin flip for me I fuck it so then we're settling on six then okay the show the show's I say the show's are a coin flip every week though That's true. The see here's a problem of the VGA the VGA was just What came out most recently and I granted a lot of cool games come out the end of the year But it definitely seemed like a tie between advertising and Recognition or hand in hand yeah because everything was a even Zachary Quinto came out and they said, an upcoming force and voice acting in video games. And he came out and goes, I thought I would take this time to announce that I'm going

to be the voice of the new Star Trek online game, which launches in the first quarter of 2010. Hope to see you on there. It's like, wow, I couldn't imagine if somebody came out doing a regular awards ceremony like the Oscars or the Emmys and did something like that They do that all the time. Don't the Grammys though. Yeah, the Grammys they do right video game people are worse than rappers though I mean, it's even like less Genuous, you know when you see them out there would you like to see someone like Penny Arcade do a legit video game award show

There's gotta be somebody other GDC awards are there, but they're not really open to the public Why the fuck you can't wait ideas to Penny Arcade? Why don't we do that shit? There's gotta be somebody other GDC awards. Are there? But they're not really open to the public. Why the fuck you can't know the idea of the Penny Arcade? Why don't we do that shit? I gotta got the list right here. He's like, hey, you wouldn't be great if somebody coo-ling Penny Arcade did that. Well, no, because they knew the charity dinner.

And that's what I was thinking of. What's the sort of classy event in the video game? And I would say the Penny Arcade charity dinner is probably one of the most quote unquoteunquote classy events, right? I went to that. Yeah, how was it? They raised an enormous amount of money. They started the month of December, they had already raised more than a million dollars

for child's play, which is a charity they started, where they donate video games and handheld video games to children's hospitals. All over the world. So the kids who are going over these lengthy boring, boring awful procedures they at least have something fun to do while they're there. Yeah. You know what Jack you should look into getting a job at Pinier arcade. You've got so many awesome ideas for them. Yes. I just watched the second episode of the Pinier arcade series the reality show they're doing or I guess not reality. What do you what would you call that web web reality?

That's a reality show. I think they called it a reality show they're doing or I guess not reality what do you call that web web reality that's a reality show reality show I think they called it a reality show when they talked about they were in a wired magazine article and they called it that you guys get interviewed for that at tax do we know I know I was just I got to go thanks for bringing that up though is anyone opinion or K-list in the podcast I would imagine that you don't think so it's a coups taking time out of the stage to lift the podcast. They're playing ping-pong on the show. They have a ping-pong stadium in their office. Stadium? Do you see their bleachers that they have? They didn't see the bleachers but I saw the layout. Actually it was two of the guys in the show and

those guys were going at it man. They don't fuck around. After the dinner I went with Koo over there and it was very late and they have a ladder on their whiteboard. Yeah, it's in the episode. Oh, he's okay. So they, you know, they can challenge each other and apparently Koo, the guy who runs Peniercade Incorporated, is the head, the head ping punger. Is he? Yeah.

He's Asian. What are you going to do? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's his blood. Alright. Alright, what's next? Video games awards. So now we're up to one, two, three, four, 5, 6, 7, 8. So we're going to eliminate some video games here. Alright, let's

I didn't play Dragon Age, second eliminate pad. I didn't play it either. Actually Jeff, you didn't play it. So we have Uncharted 2 Super Mario Modern Warfare 2 Dragon Age. I played Super Mario. Should we eliminate them? Because they're because they're not available. Yeah, fuck them. Yeah, fuck them. They'll be available in 2000. We can do it. We can do it. We can do it. We can do it. We can'll be available into that we can do we can do it. Wow can't be the best game of the year We can do you can't play it. We'll do best next-gen system because though we still standard death. Oh wow Ooh, this is taking to an outlet current Yeah, current we were keeping it professional and he had to take cheap shots. Yeah, all right Assassin's Creed 2 odc brutal legend Batman untried to you monowarfer and dragon age Yeah, I would probably take Dragon Age off that list.

Really? I think so. Alright. Yeah, okay. When did Fallout 3 come out? Was that this year? No, last year. Alright, Dragon Age is off. That gives us six. So we're good.

And then we'll take a nomination from the audience as well. Maybe they could do a movie now? If they feel strongly about it, they can put Dragon Age back on. Once again, go to ruchy.com Slash drunk tank. I said I'm by a shirt to you. I read it. I said slash like I was drunk. You did. It's all part of the you said slash like slosh I did all right So next one we're gonna do is movies and before we do the movies thing Why don't you talk a little bit? Oh crap? So this last week

You know it's a button on the 24 hour movie, actually it was 26 and a half hour movie festival this year, sitting in one theater at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar location watching some of the best movies that will come out next year. Now, I have been to this in the past. You went to one of the, if, you went to the worst, be that. But I went to a great year where we saw 300, six months before it came out and I was in Rocky 5 and in Black Snake moan and it was really cool Then I went the next year and it was hard. It is very painful. It's very hard to sit through even on a good year

Sit through 24 hours movies. It's it's difficult to sit there and watch watch watch watch. Yeah, and Alamo does serve food, but you just kind of like kind of lose it It's also a pacing issue too because if you if you hit a movie don't like, you then have to sit through it and it kind of Can dampen the rest of the the time you're in there actually. Yep, and then I went the next year and it was brutal Yeah, the next year was pretty rough. It was brutal. I think the best movie they showed that year was Swini Todd a week before it came out Dreamgirls, I think he's hot here. Yeah, that was here with work. I'm gonna stick with my original analysis that That was a show to Charlie Wilson's war that was a good movie. Yeah, but these three movies we just mentioned were the first three movies

So it starts at noon and we had seen all of those Yeah, I think we need to go to go and eight yeah goes noon to noon noon start noon on Saturday goes to noon on Sunday Yeah, and this year so we saw six premieres and then six vintage films. And then we actually, we had one quote unquote presentation. We got to see the Iron Man 2 trailer. Awesome. Really, really awesome. The end of the trailer, it's War Machine and Iron Man back-to-back just stopping

ass. It's badass. So what were the premieres you saw? The premieres we saw, we saw Kickass, which is Matthew Vaughan's new movie, the guy who did Layer Cake, he also did Stardust. We saw... Stardust was a good movie. It was a good movie, very underrated.

Uh, disliked. Really? You like, you really? Just like that? Why? Yeah. Um, I guess because I read the book. Oh, I didn't know it was a book. It was a gaming book, right?

Yeah. Then we saw Shutter Island, the New Martin's Course, Sezy movie. I'm really excited for that. Holy shit, that movie really caught me off guard. We saw Avatar, of course. We saw The Lovely Bones, which is the new Peter Jackson movie. I'm also excited for that.

We saw an indie horror film by the guy who did hatchet called Frozen, which has Sean Ashmore in it, who was in, he's Iceman in the X-Men movies. And it's a fun little horror movie, like a real, you know, it's a smaller budget, but really fun, tense movie. And then we saw a French movie called Mic Max, or Mic Max, I'm not sure how you say it, but it's M-I-C-M-A-C-S.

And that was a fun little movie too. But if you were to ask me what order would I put them in, I would say kickass was by far the winner of being at this here. Wow. It's, it's, it was incredible. That's a comic book, right? Kickass. Yes, it's a comic book and the guy who was writing the book was actually working with

Matthew Vaughn while he was finishing sort of the first trade to kind of complete the movie. Like they worked together to finish the book and the movie pretty much at the same time. And it's got Nick Cage in it and- No, you just lost me. Oh no, no, no. This is good Nick Cage. Trust me.

Okay. Nick, I don't want to spoil it. The movie comes on April. I don't want to say anything about it. Don't, don't, don't. You need to see the movie in a theater. It's fantastic. It's from the movie.

For the record, Gus is not here, so keep this spoiler free. Okay. All right. All right. All right. Because one of the other movies you saw is a movie that everybody wants to see which is you saw. I have it already. Yeah. Just real quick thumbs up thumbs down. Just on which one? On avatar. On avatar. I would say three quarters up. Can you say up or down? I would say up. You need to see that movie in a theater. But it's all right. I don't know if it lives up to the hype for me for me.

You know, okay, but it's in this weird trend and dental hype area now where it I can't figure out if the hype is pro or con at this point. Yeah, well, a lot of negative hype. The problem the problem with Avatar for me was I saw kickass immediately before Avatar and kickass was a perfect movie for the time. The audience, everything about that movie was perfect. Like, and also the thing about kickass too, it's, it's, they're still developing it. So the music's not done yet.

So all the music was a temp score. And so he had, it's, this is officially the beanat cut because he had music from Superman mixed in with it, music from Batman mixed in with it, stuff that will not make the final film but was so good. Well you don't know that for sure. No he came out and said no there's no way we were getting that. Like he's like yeah, I mean there's stuff from Dark Knight in there and yeah. Anyway it was great.

But if you had to order my movies and favorite kick asses, number one with the bullet, then Shutter Island, then it's a tie for third between lovely bones and avatar and if you really push me I'd say avatar is the fourth best okay which is kind of surprising considering the amount of you know buzz there was going to avatar I thought it's James Cameron but you also saw lovely bones in a very pro peter jackson environment that's true because this is put on by anacool news and it's it's it's the celebration of Harry Nol's birthday. Yeah yeah I will say Mark Walberg is in lovely lovely bones and after seeing his bits from the happening and then sing him in

this. So much better. Oh really? Oh yeah he's good. Yeah he's really a racialized in it too. She's awesome. So best movies of 2009 then? Yeah, we're gonna get back real quick Did Harry do any of his torture movies? He he showed a a shop brothers horror movie called Cinepete Cinepete Terror which the shop brothers did a lot of martial arts movies Yeah, and like this is probably early 70s and it was really really twisted mess up and He also showed candy snatchers was a which was a movie about a group of people kidnapping a young girl. Now that was kind of painful.

Yeah, do you hear he will put out movies in the middle of the night, like on 2am that are just meant to torture you? Yeah. And test your endurance. And I failed last year, because he did that one, or the previous year, when he did that French doctor and he made about a slavery in America. Yeah, that was horrible.

You wanted to shoot yourself in the theater. You want to pull out a gun and shoot yourself. I should have everybody around you too. Yeah, that's one of those movies. It's a good feeling. You know, people like historians, like, oh, we need to save everything. Like, no, that needs to be forgotten.

This is burned the prints of Alan. All right. So let's go. Best movies of 2009. What do you got, Jeff? I don't know. A channel up. Yep.

I haven't been to the movies much this year. You know, this wasn't a great year for movies. Star Trek. I went through I went through all the movies of the year and it was hard to find, you know, big ones. There was ones that we went and saw like GI Joe and Transformers, but they certainly weren't things that you would want to go back and rewatch or award in any way. District nine. My, my, I didn't like it, but most people people did my quote unquote gossip girl entry would be 500 days of summer Yeah, you like that. I love that movie Girlfriend experience come out this year

Yes, I like that a lot. I put that on the list. Okay So then we can have an independent category yes or you know a vying for the independence lot because I would say for the independence lot I would definitely have to put in either hurt locker, which was incredible. That was great. You saw it? Yeah. Yeah, it was about a guy who is in Iraq and he's one of these EOD guys who disarms bombs that they find on the side of the road. I thought it was an amazing movie. And then I don't know if accounts is independent, but taken came out in the US. Oh shit, taken is a fantastic movie. I never saw that. It hurtles awesome. That's that's that's my that's my pick from Movie the year you're gonna keep that one taken okay, and then also in glorious bastards

Yeah, yeah, the golden gloves were last yesterday. They announced them right? Oh did they yeah like like what what are they pick? Can you look that up on your on the interwebs? I think I can I don't piss on ever said I don't yeah don't say interwebs I hate that that's been banned from this office man and intranets I'm looking it up right now To see what the golden globes nominated I guess we'll just bite off their stuff there we go I think we should also do best trailer since there's we'll include both video games and movies in there together Okay, I have four that I came up with and you guys think you're kind of springing this category on you

Yeah, not only go think about trailers. There's a couple here that's just gonna be a clear winner I think when I mention it. I like to reach trailer. Let's include that. Oh video game video game I already know what the best trailer is but it's old Republic trailer Tron the movie trailer. Yes, you're cool and then I have to do a special call to a trailer I've actually made me laugh out a lot of couple different times which was youth in revolt. Yeah, the trailer is awesome. Which one is that? It's a... What's this face?

It's Michael... Michael Sarah? It's a book. It's like a teen book. I read it years and years and years and years ago. Okay. It'll be a good movie. It's a funny story.

It's basically about a kid trying to get laid. Oh, okay. And then what's the... Gentlemen... Gentlemen Broncos. Gentlemen Broncos. Good trailer. Good trailer, rough movie, you saw it. I saw it a fantastic fest and It's the guy didn't pull in dynamite the the the Mormon dude. What's his name? Math Jared Hess Yeah, and it's it's nothing but just full of really twisted weird characters and with a loose plot connecting them all

It's an excuse for Germaine from what is it? What's the band that Germaine and... He's from St. Fagdellis Thunderbirds, and that's not right either. No, Flight of the Concord. Flight of the Concord, thank you. Yeah, Germaine from Flight of the Concord to dress up in tight jeans and wear a Bluetooth headset. It's pretty funny.

His character is funny, but and all the stuff with Sam Rockwell is great, but. Up in the air seems to be a big winner. People are loving up in the air. That's Jason Wrightman. Yeah, it's getting a lot of nominations. Hangover was also this year. Oh, yeah. Well, I didn't see it. That was a good movie. It's going on DVD. Or did it come out on DVD? Zombie land. People like that. Right. right so we're gonna know we're gonna wiggle this down fast this isn't it doesn't matter taking is the best movie out of all everything I don't up was up was for you takeins better than up you have a teen hurt locker I haven't I mean I would do I wouldn't do the week by week every you know movie that came out this year and when I got to take in I was also like oh yeah I was this year yeah that was great movie movies tremendous and

kitchen miss it's about Lee andon's daughter is captured in Paris. She's kidnapped in Paris and he's in the US and he's like an XCIA special ops guy. Yeah, and he's older and he knows he has a just gut feeling that something's going wrong. He's like, he's like, he's essentially like his career killed his marriage. And he's trying, he's retired to try to reconnect with his daughter. And like as soon as he does that she gets taken. It's a pretty cool thing too because like if you had to find someone in the world, could you find them?

I mean the world's a huge place. We need to be in Eastonkin. Yeah, apparently in Easton. Did you hear about the DARPA contest they ran like last weekend or two weekends ago? The Red Balloon contest? So DARPA are the guys who created the internet, right? They ran this thing where they put up 10 red balloons, like weather balloon size balloons all over the country.

Or excuse me, the lower 48 states. And they basically said the first group that can come to us with a location of all 10 balloons wins. And I don't know if there's a prize. I think it was just who could do it. And a FARC actually had a group that put, they, they came in in seconds. I want to say they found eight. And in a matter of like, I want to say it was like six hours, maybe maybe it was more than that. It was maybe like eight or nine, but it was like in one day, like it was the MIT group found all ten balloons. Spread throughout like like all over, there's one in Houston, like Portland, like in like Atlanta, but they're all over the place even smaller cities too Red balloons sound cool, but what about fucking Norway? What about what's going on in the sky in Norway, dude?

Oh, the alien portal. Yeah, dude. That's not cool There's a spiral in the sky over Norway or there was fucking like a blue light coming out of it and they blamed it on a missile Yeah, I'm a missile in Yeah, Russian missile was fired and it caused that. And I think we're down down to the point where we're blaming stuff on fired missiles. What are they trying to cover up? I think we all know he's batting an eyelash. Russia's been firing missiles. We all know it's the Hadron Collider. It is, right? Yeah. They finally got a successful test, right? Yeah. There's one.

I think it's up and chugging. It's going right now. Right now, fucking creating portals to hell over Norway. Did you see that the Gordon Freeman guy? Like, there's a guy who looks like Gordon Freeman who works the LHC. Oh, that's great. Yeah. And they met, like, a group mailed him a crowbar, and I think a head crab and something else.

Like, you're just in case. Take the crowbar. You know, one of the things they auctioned off at the child's play charity was a steam key that will be good for every game that Valve has ever made and will ever make. Wow, dude. What did that go for? I think $1400. That's a bargain.

That is. It was a bargain. And I think there was a tour of a bungee where you could come play the reach multiplayer beta with eight of your friends or eight people altogether. As long as one of those friends isn't Tom Morella. You know, that's interesting because we're talking about six person co-op but it's eight of its eight people. Hey, hey, and they specifically chose eight people that you could come and play with. So what is that indicate?

Obviously, we just broke a huge story on the podcast. That's what I was talking about. Public info was on the child's play charity. There we go. We're just making connections. It was you and seven of your friends. Anyway, so the two on that. Black helicopter. And that went for, I think, $2,700, which, I mean, that's, what's up, bargain.

What was the highest priced item at the charity auction? The penny arcade stuff always goes for the highest because that's where you're there. And I'm pretty sure the thing that went for the highest amount was play D&D in Gabe's D&D night. And I think it would for like, I'm going to say $9,000 or how much the box of nothing go for or did they do that this year?

They did the box of nothing this year. And the guy got it for $2,100. He got it. One of his age opened the box. And it was a $4,000 Sony Sony Broadway TV. Shhh. Wow. It was pretty cool.

That is pretty cool. The guy was wearing a kilt. And he had to like,000 Sony Sony Broadway TV. Wow. It was pretty cool. That is pretty cool. The guy was wearing a kilt. And he had to like, I was not cool anymore. I was in the table. It was right at the front of the stage, the center right there. And he kept having to bend over to like rip the lower parts of the wrapping up. Come on.

This is not helping me anyway. So are we locked on our movies? I think we're I think we have enough we have to trim it down a little bit here. So what did you find what the golden lobes had? Because I know we're missing stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on a second. I'll go talk amongst yourselves. Say what here's another one. Why don't you guys try to figure out what is the single best online video that you saw this year? Any video online, one-off series, whatever you saw. There were how many maru videos were there? My current favorite would have to be the lady that got drunk and stole the ambulance. See this is a category where the current stuff is going to be. She's awesome. There has to be something we all watched a thousand times. I know there is.

I just can't think about the cute kitty. I saw an article recently it was in defense of Jimmy Fallon in the Jimmy Fallon show And basically like those people saying that hey, you know Jimmy Fallon's not doing as bad as people thought he was doing and they Linked to 10 different videos of stuff you done on the show which included playing beer pong with Betty White Which was great and then one of the videos was Jimmy Fallon doing performing as Neil Young doing the Fresh Prince of Belair theme song and he nails it. Doesn't sound funny. Nails it. It's hilarious. Does anybody is anybody out there like that would watch the Jimmy Fallon show even know who Neil Young is? Yeah. I know what Neil Young is. I watch it. How many Neil Young songs can you name? Three. Okay. Just for the Sega completion. I'm gonna list

everything the Golden Globe's nominated. Okay, okay drama They nominated Avatar. Okay, they nominated the hurt locker. I like me now. Yeah, I do like you. They nominated in glorious bastards They nominated precious based on the novel push by Sapphire. I hear that's good. Pressure. They nominated up in the air For picture musical or comedy. They nominated 500 days of summer. I like Jack. They nominated the hangover. It's complicated. Julia and Julia and nine, the animated movie, which I did see and I would not say that was the best movie of the year. Right. I saw the original animated shortils based on what 90s, I nine to there, but ops not in

there. what the fuck dude wow I didn't get nominated for just best movie and it's for animated film why is it an animated film but 9 is not that's ridiculous yeah animated films are cloudy with a chance to meet balls core line fantastic mr. Fox the princess and the frog and up wow that's weird they're stupid sorry are you sure 9 is an. Are you sure? Nine is an animated film. You sure Tim Burton hasn't found a world of creatures. Yeah, I like to Burn creatures. Yeah, she's filmed it. Invented life. I actually saw nine

Because somebody somebody so many go see it because the the the whole they drawn correlations between that and the reconstruction Epsilon well omega AI theory stuff. And so I went and see it, it's just because of that. I wasn't, I didn't see the connection. I also didn't have a connection with the movie in general. All the characters kind of look the same, which coming from the guy who makes red versus blue. I realized a little, a little bit of a ridiculous criticism,

but it was kind of hard to disassociate from that. Dude, the characters have reached looks. Sick. Ooh, I keep coming back to that trailer. Like the model design in that game looks awesome. Disassociate from that dude that the characters and reach look sick Oh, I keep coming back to that trailer like the model design in that game looks awesome. It looks It's one of those weird things because you read people who when you go in the forms of you read people who say It looks just like Halo 3 and right next to it someone saying I can't believe how unbelievable this game looks Yeah, it's been like game criticism for every bungee game every Halo game I mean you will see people who say in every forum halo to look just like halo on halo three looks just like halo two That was halo reach big fucking complain about halo through the drove us crazy

Yeah, because we were doing apples to apples comparisons in the office because we were about to start filming in halo three And we had halo to in front of us and you know, we would cut from shot to shot Lighting night and day dude come on. there's no comparison between those two games. Also if that's the case all along, that's that would say that Halo looks just like Halo reached right. Right. Obviously not the case. Yeah, it's ridiculous.

In fact, at one point, the nice thing that Halo does every now and then is they'll put out an exact replica of a map in DLC or they'll just include it like Zanzibar and Lass Resort. One year I put the wizard and not the wizard wizard from Halo and Warlock from Halo 2 does it right now to each other I did a split screen between the two levels it was unbelievable the difference between Halo and Halo 2 but people you know still combined they look the same man not to get to a farth topic the Gus is not here Jack and I are doing a spec ops videos for call duty catching up on Oh, and we just played the one that is the remake of all gillied up on

Modern warfare. Oh, yeah, it was fucking great to play that map again I cannot tell you how much fun it was to replay a lot of the spec ops stuff is just repurposed maps from the first game It was really cool and a really fun experience. Yeah The the Overwatch one where you were in the AC 130 and I was running was was a farm level from Montawerfare Which a bunch of people pointed that out. I guess we didn't mention the video so So people are also about reach before you to far from that people are complaining that I guess the Spartans in reach aren't the Spartans from the book That is that's actually a major complaint that I've read. Yeah The Mark threes or Mark to I don't know I never read the books

Yeah, the big thing, the Mark threes or Mark two, I don't know, I never read the books. Right, they're saying that a big criticism that I'm reading is that in the books, they talked about how you couldn't distinguish the Spartans from one another except by simple body language, even the women from the men sometimes. And that the doctor, Dr. Halsey, was the only one who could really tell them apart. And clearly you can tell them apart in the library. He can't tell what someone asks. Yeah, one at a hand print on his face, well, something that's confusing to me is that is the the EVA armor, the one of the big gold dome that's covered in one of the books is what those are, or at

least a variant thereof. And in Halo 3, you can unlock all that stuff, but one of the helmets you can unlock is ODST. So does that make your character an ODST in Halo 3 or is he a Spartan with an ODST helmet? It's not, I mean, it's no longer clear. Are they Spartans? We assume they are because one of them was called George and it's before they were all dead and a lot of them died on reach. So I just think it's not clear right now and you gotta give the benefit of the doubt and see what they work out.

I hope there's a good story attached to it. I'm pretty sure there will be. I have a strong feeling. Yeah. So and once again, we're unsure is this the last bungee Halo game. Every time one comes out, it seems like it's going to be the last Halo game. So maybe this is the last round for bungee. But bungee, I mean, that's like, it's like capturing lightning in a bottle. It's like, why would you step away from that? Like five,

they made five. I mean, and why would you step away from what making Halo game? Yeah. Well, I mean, why would I don't know what making Halo game? Yeah, well, I I mean why would I don't know I mean we've done that versus blue for seven years And I know we love it to death, but I wouldn't mind doing something a little different every once in a while I'm dare you It's got a job at pittier here No, I can understand I mean it's you know you're working on this stuff, but I don't think it will be I think they'll continue to make Halo games in addition to other games. Yeah, yeah, that's what I want to be shocked by that I mean like I mean you guys have been doing like rooster teeth shorts and the comic and you know achievement hunter now

It's like you know you we all you run away success that is achieved in a hunter is doing very well We are our largest month ever right yeah, so best online videos anything else you can think of god There's a billion. I know I'm missing them. I want to nominate one that I remember from early on I actually like the girl at first, but now I like the guy version of it Which was his name is Dachi? He was the beatbox wildcard guy earlier in the year. Oh, yeah, where he was doing the beatbox stuff Amazing have you seen this yeah, I think I have just like the throat stuff. Yeah, I don't know I don't know if this counts because it's it's just it's just a commercial

But I saw it online and that's the Bismarkey camera commercial oh snap oh snap you got to say the muppet Bohemian Rhapsody you didn't like that no that really that's something very divisive you know yeah god I watch probably 10 online videos a day and you're asking to pick so hard a year is so long it's like it's like 360 something. What do we watch over and over? The only thing I can remember in this office that got watched over and over and over and over again

this year was over public. Oh, how can you slap? Was that this year? How can you slap? I don't know. I mean, a lot of the dude, I know we watch that a lot this year. A lot of these don't get discovered for like two or three months now.

Yeah. And then suddenly they worked their way up. Gosh, man, so many. We'll have to take a nommation. We watched the uh watch I watch the animated gif of that dude punching that chick in Jersey Shore Pro with for 10 minutes. You know they pulled that from the episode Yeah, they showed it in the promo and then now the next episode. They're not gonna show it all

Got a hit MTV. I hate him too, man And they're they're they're they're fucking press release about that was so retarded They're like after watching it and hiring experts to look at it, we've determined that it's not appropriate. And the violence of this kind is not appropriate. Like, did you, did you really have to hire experts to tell you that a dude punching a chicken in the face on fucking on a channel that's primarily watched by 14 year old kids is not appropriate? And you're either there sat in there for probably 10 hours on that one shot, getting the right angle and the right timing on it and everything. And every

fucking higher up and every exec at MTV fucking approve that thing because you know it with your standards and practices. There we go. This makes my Taco Pop ad. Is that this year? That video? It makes my Taco Pop. Have you seen that?

Sean Johnson. There's a video. Just do the home shopping network guy who throws the Wii controller through the T.A. Very appropriate. We can also have like best moment of 2009. Like what was the defining moment was David Letterman's thing that a finding moment 2009.

Tiger. Kanye. Kanye interrupting Taylor West. God. God, I don't know. You know, it's so funny. When you look back at that, the Kanye West thing, people were so incensed about that.

How come nobody sees that that was staged? It wasn't a month before that or two months before that, that the whole Bruno M&M thing went down. And we all thought, you know, at first that it wasn't staged, it clearly was staged. They even said later that it was staged and M&M was in on the joke. I guarantee if Taylor Swift did not know that Kanye was coming up onto that stage, then somebody in her management definitely knew. Sure.

Do you know the dude that she's dating from Twilight? He was on SNL us. They did a bit about it. They did a bit about it. That was kind of funny. I thought that was really funny. For a kid that aged, you'd like call himself out like that, how he does that. That was, honestly, yeah, that was pretty funny.

He was on stage. I don't think he was dating her at the time. My wife knows all this. He was explaining to me. Oh, they weren't dating at that time. But he was there him back and up. He was like one of the rows of presenters and they presented the award to her and then Connie interrupts. And he points himself out as doing his look how much I helped her and you see him like backing up and hiding behind somebody else. Once Connie comes up on the stage, it was pretty funny. Yeah. That kid's from Austin, isn't he? Or San Antonio? I think he was in Sharkboy.

Yeah, he is Sharkboy. Team Sharkboy. Which I think was made in Austin. That kid's 17? I don't know. He's under 18, I know that. Okay, why does that matter? Why do you even know that?

Well, because I have female friends that are going bonkers for this kid going, oh my God, I jump on him, on them whatever and it's like that's a 17 year old boy Your female friends watching cops gossip girls that are playing left for Because I think I know my sister's into it. I yeah, she has all these friends that love the Twilight movies and those Moos movies just piss me off because like oh it's a vampire movie like no No, that's a that's a mortal pervert movie. I those are not vampires. Twilight. I'm a sage. I love twilight Why I cuz I like the fact that there's something in the world that teenage girls can still scream like looney Fixed like the new Beatles. Yep, and if teenage girls

weren't able to scream about that like they couldn't just lose themselves Then I would be worried about this world Yeah, you need you need something like that every decade or so Yeah, you need other girls aren't so jaded. Yeah, that's gross But I mean need something like that that causes some sort of a what was that the national fervor? What was that in the 90s? Oh, I got to nominate something I got a nominee some for Online video the year cat versus cop. Oh, that was funny. Oh, yeah, that is was funny. Yeah, that is a good one. Oh, no, no I got it. I got it. The fucking world's smartest criminal to do the eighties on

Oh, that was good. Eighties on the drug guy drunk guy at the the convenience store. Oh Shit dude. This might have been 2009 was a good. Yeah, that guy was the fine gravity You know what's crazy is when I saw stuff like break when they first started their model We're gonna put up about three videos a day of stuff we don't make, but it just gets submitted to us that's funny out in the world. I thought, okay, there's maybe 200 of these videos and they're going to go through them in the first three months. There's three videos a day.

There's somebody letting themselves on fire or I, by the way, I saw it failing at a back flip. Yep, it never stops. Nope, it's an endless stream of those days. People will always be stupid Yeah, the the as long as there are trampolines in the world As long as there's let your fluid and friends World's most gravity gravity to find drunk and then world's smartest criminal

Yeah, that's the guy eating that this sort of an instant classics It's not very region. There's like hungry hungry hippos the way goes for that thing and what we will we will link all of these Gravity drone and then cat versus cop cat versus cop is where cops are in ready to take it and this kid just walks up and just Horacism non-stop Pretty funny. I sure to the guys in the office about three weeks ago By the way to answer your earlier question Jack I would say like it was like the tail end of New Kids on the block and then in sync right around there as well.

Really? Do you want to say like grunge, like Nirvana or anything like that? I mean, that was a big movement, but I wouldn't say it was a like teen fervor kind of thing. What about hip hop? Hip hop really hit. I mean, it came out in the 80s. Yeah, but we're talking about like a thing that you know teenage girls have of posters on their walls

Oh, I'm sorry, they're just they just fucking lose it like when Robert Patton Robert Pets is a Passen rubber pens it when he walks on stage and the girls just lose it. It's just like That's a we need that you know what I mean We need to have girls that are capable of losing it's like whatever That's another good one that that goes in best videos of the year which is the girls doing commentary over the preview of Comic Con yeah they're like oh my god oh we think I'm a shirt oh she sees ghosts all right anything else we want to talk about today I'm gonna review really

that hit this year? Oh you know what we didn't put in there that Well, wasn't Brutal Legend the only major title that hit this year? Oh, you know what we didn't put in there that we probably should have? What's that? That probably would go above Brutal Legend as borderlands. People love that fucking game. I see more people playing borderlands
