There is Bernie and there's Joel and there's Jeff and Gabino.

Don't forget Gus, you can see this is the soul. Sometimes bad, please feel it cool. Because this is cleaning, it's game, it's the throating, the throating, this is rowing, from now, speak the wrong thing Yes, it's the wrong thing The wrong thing Okay everyone, I think you might be listening to the drunk tank Wait, what's the name of this podcast? I think so That sounded like like a Blink 182

and they tried to go all serious I didn't realize they tried to go serious at some point Yeah, and that's, you don't realize that cuz they failed pretty miserably. I mean, it's like you almost want to call an ambulance for that guy when he hits someone behind us. You want to call him, you want to call him for the high notes and he's butchering? For your drums, baby. No, but we loved it. It was also another reference to Gav who has been on the podcast as October.

My cue is a little backed up. Send in new ones, please, everyone. everyone although that one that was the first one I felt like I need to have like a cup of Jamaica Mountain Blue coffee Is that your first reference? So your first product placement of the day? It is my first product placement of the day. Hey, what are we doing? We're doing a podcast. It's a Gus Joel and Jack this week. What's up? Bernie and Jeff are tied up with some uh red versus blue production. Ooh, that's a tease. Yeah, and they got a they got a they got a finish hammering that thing out. So we're actually not recording in our normal

room either. We're in the conference room. So if you hear any buses or homeless crazy people screaming in the background, that would explain why. Or is Brandon. Because that would be me complaining about the sounds we hear outside. The sounds outside are pretty terrible. Yeah. Today, a homeless guy started screaming, I mean, this is the first time. Like, I was legit in the phone. I call my wife when I leave work every day and, you know, I walk down the streets of the parking garage. And twice now, I've been like harassed and accosted by homeless people who think I'm just

pretending to be on the phone to avoid talking to them. What time a homeless lady kicked me because she thought I was trying to ignore her. And all fairness, people in the office do often try and kick you though anyway. So now this wasn't the homeless guy who sings every night, was it? No, no, no, I like that guy. That guy's awesome. That guy's never said a word that's not in song. Yeah, that's the best. Every time you leave the office, you feel like you're like an Alec McBeal. Yeah, you walk down, somebody singing a song. It's weird. You know, I almost I want to film that guy and like, You know, you walk down, somebody singing a song. It's weird.

You know, I almost, I want to film that guy and like, you know, put up a video so other people can see what we're talking about. But I always feel uncomfortable. Like anytime I see him down there singing, like, oh, I should, you know, get up my iPhone and just film him for a little bit. Like, I don't want to sit here and film a potentially crazy person who comes up and sings on the street. Is it weird right now?

Is that we are, we're a mic short right now. And it's really weird. I can tell, like, we can't talk over each other We actually like otherwise our faces get too disturbingly close to each other And it's we might like it a little too much. Yeah, how did I end up with the my solo mic? Oh Jack More mass. Oh do I? I might not be able to escape once I lean over there. It gusses trap between Joel and I

They won't escape once I lead over there. Yeah, Gus is trapped between Joel and I. Yeah, how did this happen? We've had the laptop though. So you're going to give us all topics to talk about. Like, what should we talk about first, Gus? Oh, wait, can you tablet day? Oh, yeah, there's a. That's pretty important.

I think Apple needs to stop having press conferences on Wednesday at noon, because that's the worst possible time for our podcast, because we can't talk about it, because our podcast recorded right before then. And then if we talk about it next week It's already old news. Yeah, so Steve Jobs. I know you're a big fan. You're listening. Go ahead. We can talk about in future tense That tablet was old news well before that press got I mean that was the worst kept secret

What was like the iPhone? Here let's talk about some details of the tablet like we've actually know what it is like this has a podcast will come out afterwards like Man you guys are you excited that AT&T is doing the three G network with the tablet, which should be like, aren't you excited about the three megapixel camera? Aren't you excited about the five megapixel camera? Are you excited about the seven megapixel camera? I'm excited about the 10-inch monitor. And then just let me edit it all together so it also doesn't. Just give us the option. This podcast takes so long to like this together, man. It's like a true drone adventure.

It's not an option. What's gusting? Oh, he's assembling a proper argument. Well, since we can't spickly on the tablet because the announcement comes out shortly after we finish recording the podcast, why don't we talk about the fact that it's spickly and there will be no new half-life to in this year. Whoa, I didn't hear about that. Didn't hear about that?

No, no, no. Apparently, the latest issue game informer says that Half-Life 2 Episode 3 will not come out this year and might never come out. I thought the whole idea of the episode, the episodic content, was the fact that it was easier to produce and you can get it out quicker. Well, someone should have told Valve about getting that. Well, I mean, they called it Half-Life. What do you expect?

You know, it's like slowly going to die out. Yeah, it gets longer and longer and longer. Oh, no, no, Half-Life gets What do you expect? You know, it's like slightly getting a guy longer and longer and longer and longer Oh, no, I know what half-life gets shorter. That's right. Oh Jesus. But you had a back. It's going with the dying off Oh, okay. That's right. Like carbon dating Try-try-low bites, you know Try-low bites. They're just saying scientific terms that come to your head. Fibonacci sequence Well, that's mathematical time. Sorry. I'm a little disappointed, you know.

I was really looking forward to episode three, especially after the orange box. And I don't know. Yeah, I hope they finish it. I hope it comes out at some point. When an episode two come out, 2006, 2006, came out with the orange box. Geez.

It really takes that long to produce one episode. How long was it? Was it a full game or like four hours right? There's like four hours something like that I don't know. It's to the point now where it seems like out of your developer and you want it waking waiting too long like you know dealing with Generations of games. It's almost like I don't know the newest and the prettiest stuff. It's like if you wait too long It's like it looks outdated by the time it comes out

That was the problem with Duke Nukem 3D right was they kept wanting to upgrade the engine and like new engines would come out and like, oh, we got to scrap it and start over again. And well, that was one of many problems of that game. But yeah, it was a, that was the big one. And I just looked it up half life two up. So two came out in 2007. Wow. So it's three years ago.

Well, it was like October. So I, I was two and a half years ago. We could have been funnier, funnier at the beginning of the podcast. We just started. This is to do the whole to zero and a half years ago. We could have been funnier to be in the podcast. You see it's funnier. Let's just do the whole truth you're an adventure thing. Yeah. Hey, this is Gus. Hey, you know, I was I had to say I have came into one thing. I was listening to the the ricochet ricochet radio podcast. What? Respond radio. See, I'm lame. It's great. It's great. It's great podcast, but I was listening to my notice they have like like background music. Yeah. the I'm I'm I'm I'm

I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm

I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm

I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm And that was one of the big things they were against was putting music underneath voices Our release breaks in a period of time because people get distracted by the music like subconsciously They'll like the listen to the music as opposed to people talking. I'd rather have them be distracted by the We are we are pretty boring. All right. What are we out here Gus? I also feel like god damn it Let me this is fun. I'm watching I'm watching you pick up your topics This is like the other day when you try to make me talk about what was on my laptop screen when I wasn't ready to talk about it oh I get a sound I came

into this I said gosh what are we gonna talk about on this bus this guy like 30 tabs of it and Gus buss out this one headline it's like what and the headline is I guess last, South Korea ruled that virtual currency is just as good as cash. And in reading this article, I realized that apparently China taxes virtual goods, but only on a voluntary basis. So you have to declare your goods and then pay taxes on them. Declare your virtual goods. Yeah. I want to see that tax form. This is going to be... my cloud song is depreciating.

The cloud song bottomed in March along with the rest of the market. Yeah, this has got to be step one of the computer's master plan to take over the world. This has got to be it. Is that what it is? Yeah, virtual currency becomes as good as real cash. Hey, yesterday was the 31 year anniversary of a robot killing someone for the first time right what yeah the day before yesterday I think was they before yesterday Monday yeah that they did it in a comical manner I don't know it uh it was like it was in a car plant or something yeah it was at a car plant it was uh I think uh if I remember the article properly a guy

was in a stockroom trying to get up some supplies and a robotic arm like swing around and hit him and kill them Wow, and then it went on a search for Sarah Connor Feel about that He actually had a photo of John Connor and he's swung around the show to him and actually accidentally killed the guy photo of John Connor and he's swung around to show it to him and actually accidentally killed the guy Cyber nine hasn't developed had developed that well yet if you link this picture that we're looking at right now That is all free feel like you could safely put a human in that scenario Do and not have like limbs get torn off imagine those is all like coffins opposed to truck beds That's what that's all I see

That's that's like the the plant they made for the That's what that's all I see. That's like the plant they made for the 275,000 plastic coffins. That's exactly how they say like FEMA robot working day and night to put you in the ground. They're turning humans. I don't know. Looks like the board. Was there a number of how many humans have been killed by robots on that article? Not that I saw. No. No. So just one? Well, the robots are obviously started. It was 31 years ago. Yeah. I would say, well, we'll be your overrunner. What? Well, if you're, I don't know, I would say overrunner 100. What do you say, Gus? I'd say probably under. Now, out of lean under as well. I think we, in a, in a previous podcast, we talked about this, but I think it's the staple and you aren't there. I saw

repeating it for you, Jack. Okay. I think it's the staple, and you aren't there, so I'm repeating it for you, Jack. I think it's the staples.com warehouse. If you order something from staples, they have robots in their warehouse that go around and pick the items you order online. Oh, cool. And then, I guess, take it to another area where the people grab it and then box it up and ship.

Right, and since they have your address and they come and find you and kill you. Yeah. That is because they rolled to your house. They rolled to your house. He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health.

He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health.

He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health. He's not a shit to your health. like select whatever Legos and put them into bags and stuff. It was really neat. Like, I don't know. I thought it was cool. I like Legos. That's pretty cool. What? I almost asked what was on your screen, but I'm not going to. Because that would be inappropriate. Yeah, that's totally inappropriate.

You got to let it flow organically. You can't let it flow organically. What's going on on the screen? Isn't that a funny joke we see over there? Well, what is on my screen was, I guess, a New Orleans Saints football player Tracy Porter Before the NFC Championship game the other day shaved

Pac-Man ghosts into his head. That's great. The problem is you can't tell which ones which I mean I can't tell which ones Obviously, yeah, obviously that's pinky right there and once the other ones. That's the one. What are the other ghost names? Pinky pinky clied. I'm Sue. Oh, well, you're reading that though, aren't you? No, Sue isn't on here. Oh, OK. I'm not. There's one named Sue. That's the red one.

She has the bow, right? Yep. She's female? Yeah. You didn't know this? I didn't know that. Yeah, one of the Pac-Man ghosts is female. And the red one.

Yeah, she's the one like yelling at and harassing all the other ghosts to get off the lazy ghost butts and go do something. Right. That's why all the other. That's why she moves the fastest. Wait, did ghosts have butts? Ghost butts. Ghost butts. Yeah. And so you're playing Mass Effect 2 right now. Yeah. Speaking of butts, your character's ass is exposed. I made, um, I decided if I was going to stare at a Mass Effect 2

character, you know, for 60 or 80 hours. I wanted to be something enjoyable. So I made my character look like Taylor Swift. And uh, I think I did 60 or 80 hours. I wanted to be something enjoyable. So I made my character look like Taylor Swift and I think I did a pretty decent job. I might release an ad you get to get her smile that weird creepy teeth smile She has the two things I'm unhappy with with that character our hair and her lips are a little off You know the first question and every dude's mind right now is that okay if I make my main character female Is there still a way to have her make out with the other female hair? That's absolutely the first question. Like that's like how? You could do that in the first mass effect and I think in this

one you still can with one of the characters and that one character is also female? Yeah so at what point will listen to Bone Fox news? I'm surprised it hasn't already cheese. There's been a lot of stuff That it's weird what like like media focuses on when there's like some worse stuff out there Like they were focusing on the whole mass effect what kissing scene and like there was alien butt or whatever But there's so much worse stuff in other games And I remember the girl who they brought on there. Oh, yeah, bring on the cow. That was a great story And they basically were like um listen on there. Oh yeah. Bring on the count. That's a great story. And they basically were like, um, listen, um, have you, do you know, any, have you played this game at all? Do you have

any knowledge of this game whatsoever? And her argument to that was, no, I haven't. And that makes me write, it makes her argument, no sense whatsoever. Her argument was something along the lines of, oh, games are for kids. That's why I didn't play it. But no, it was, it was her and was it come prayer Adam Cessler. She was Adam Cessler, far call. Yeah. And it was, it was her and was it Kevin Prayer or Adam Cessler? She was. Adam Cessler, far call. Yeah, and it was, it was pretty great. See, flat out said, he's like, have you played the game? She's like, no, of course not.

And it's like, well, how can you argue against it? And then, then later, she actually saw what was the big hub hub. And she, she actually apologized because people were going on her. It's like, no, it's like, you literally talk about like, how news has like become entertainment. Oh, yeah, they're just like, okay, we're a news how news has become entertainment. Oh, yeah. They're just like, okay, we're a news channel.

We literally just need to find somebody who's going to take this point of view. Yeah. And really, that person is really, they don't really care. They're just selling a book. Yeah. So it's just like, okay, we'll all come on there and say whatever you want me to say and then push my book. It's almost like they have to find people who support like extremes.

It's like, there's no middle, there's no middle ground, there's no compromise. It's like, someone who's either really forced something and then someone who's really against something that we have the conflict because the conflict is what is entertaining. Yeah, yeah, it's not the actual news. It's just yelling in each other. That's why people listen to the podcast. They want to do a jack or they want to hear me yell at Gavino. I don't care what we're talking about. They just want to hear the yelling. I've had so many people complain that you haven't been yelling enough at me and they're also sad that gaps on here and like somehow this spawned like 47 jack. Yes, just start one last group saying let's not have any more jack groups Well, what was the Brandon group that just started up? What was that Joel? We're fine with Brandon That's very good for Brandon It's not in the way. Brandon is adequate.

He's there and it's not offensive. He has some eyes. He stands. He's there. He's there. We should talk about our Halo plate. We had last Thursday. That turned out really good, actually.

We did the Halo for Hiddy. You know, the single thing, the single thing I learned from that night, and I'm glad that we got so many people to come out and it's great that we were really bungee, right? It got a fun, yeah. Bungie, but basically everybody that night was like, you know, I'm so used to playing Modern Warfare,

I don't know how to control Halo character anymore. You know what I learned that night was when you're doing a play date like that don't ever let anyone else be host. Don't ever let anyone else run the party. Like I I got I made the mistake of getting into one group letting someone else control the party and it just took forever to start and just like all this indecision. Oh yeah that's what I was doing was people were sending me invites so what I would do is open up a new party. I would limit it to eight set it as a grip ball

And then send invites to all the people who were sending me invites and as soon as it filled up I would start the game and then as soon as it was over I jump out and start anyone and invite more people Yeah, my strategy that seemed to work for me is I was starting you party up and I'd set 16 people and we just do like Big team battle in sand trap. Oh, okay. Yeah, I put a grip ball the whole time I actually I really I really get time one thing that I've learned from this experience, and this happened the first time, is that Xbox is not equipped. Like the dashboard is not equipped to deal with

a massive number of messages coming in one direction. Yeah. It doesn't, it doesn't work. Yeah, it freaks out. Yeah, I never experienced like, like, Bernie had put up that video last time. He guys had a play date where it was just literally constant message You know like one after another after another and I'd never really experienced that until until this time and like for about the first hour It was pretty much constant online

So yeah, it was it's like a non-stop stream. You can't do anything the you can't do anything to get around it Then like you you look at it. You hit the jewel You try to reply and you realize you're looking at a message that you got you know 15 minutes ago Right. Yeah, you try to respond to a message, jump in there. It wouldn't work. And I realized like I'd be getting messages from people who sent me like friends of mine, who sent me a message like three days prior. And it's like, wait, what? It just it just it bugs out. Yeah, it's really it's really a you really send the opportunity to get really backlogs there. Yeah. How many people did you run into that didn't have that little halo heart?

It was rare. And I noticed that if anyone didn't have the halo heart, it seems like everyone else started yelling at them to change it. Yeah. I had a lot of fun. I mean, we do that to you. Like anytime someone would jump in or they'd have like a green heart is like, no, no, no, go change it. And we wouldn't start until they changed it. You know, we, uh, one of the, the one time I'd let someone else control the party, we ended up doing eight people, uh, in our party. And we could jump into the big team battle for another random eight to play against so everyone in our all to eight in our party all had the heart symbol we got into the

you know matchmaking we met another random group of eight people and we all had the heart and none of them had the heart and one of the guy in the other team is like why do you have hearts faggits faggits faggits and just likegits. Faggits. And just like over and over, just keep screaming that. And I was like, oh my god, who is this guy?

Yeah, humanity. But you were just chatting, you're like the... Don't you know what's going on? I tried to explain to him, but I couldn't not yell him. You were just screaming the whole time. Like, he was the one guy who didn't jump over to Modern Warfare 2.'t not yell him. You know, you just you just screaming the whole time like I he was though He was the one guy who didn't jump over to modern warfare, too. He stuck with him I left I left him negative feedback

Man, I didn't have like a camera in the wall because I was actually wearing a little shirt that had a little hard on it Did you know do you know a bunch? You actually hit their mark? I know they were a little behind Like they were they're like basically asking people to show up that last day to try to fill their quota because they had a max is at $77,000, right? Right. Yeah. I think and how many people had to play was it? It would be seven hundred seventy thousand because it was it was a hundred bucks for every thousand. And I think I played with about 10,000 people. So I would hope they hit it. I'm not sure. I feel like I played a lot also. I'm trying to look on their website here to find it, but I can't nope I can't find it

Okay, I fail at navigating the internet. Oh wait here. It is updated What what happened what happened? Did you buy one of the shirts one of the? No, you know, I should I never bought one of the the fight the flood one and I always regret it not having one of those Yeah, I want to pick up of the, not prospector. What's it called? The superintendant. Superintendant. Prospector is the agos finds gold.

I think their coolest shirt is literally the ODST shirts. Like the great ones that just say ODST on the front. I was one of those. They gave those out before the Halo 2 launch, I think. Really? Did they? Yeah, we got one. Like we got one when we went up there to play Hila 2 before it came out.

We were up there with Claude Arra from Hila about Bungie.org and they gave us a couple of them. Oh, wow. That's awesome. Yeah, that is awesome. That's very forward thinking that they would release that that would be the second or you know before the second game then ODST became what their fourth game? Yeah, is it me? I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I posted a picture of like what, you know, England, like Great Britain looked like. Like it was just completely frozen. And here it was like 23 degrees.

And I hear like in California, they're eating tornadoes. And we got like, you know, it's like the day after tomorrow. It's like, I wonder if the Mayans are right. Well, they've got two more years, man. They're a little early for that. Well, I guess I'm combining into the world stuff all into one to make it convenient, but it's like, I don't know, man.

I don't know. We only added two microphones right now. Yes, it's all slowly working its way down. There was a naked picture of Gus on the internet. That's got to be a sign right there. That's true. Nothing's as good as it used to be. It's all downhill. Yeah, it's got to be right dogs and cats living together Mass hysteria. I'm really concerned Joel. Are you yeah? I hope I hope you're not right. I hope you're wrong I don't know man. It's getting weird. So let's get so theoretically into the world's coming and we can we can time the end of the world

Say like the earth has six months to live What happens on the planet? Well, here's here's the question does everyone know about it? Yes, yes, everyone knows like it's like they tried keeping it secret like on the internet. Why would anyone go To work exactly society would fall apart, right? Wouldn't it is that what would happen? Yeah, totally you think society would just crumble and it's be yeah right? Wouldn't it? Is that what would happen? Yeah, totally. You think society would just crumble and it's be like animals? Yes, it would. I mean, I'm not sure the nature of how or or but you know,

it's like, is anyone gonna go do their job? If no one goes and does their job, you know, what do we have? You know what I mean? It's like, we can goods. You know, what is the electricity plant look like? I mean, you're like, how does, you know, I know like, I don't know. I just don't know, you know. Yeah, how many people have to show up and like shovel coal or Like flip a big like do they have a giant light switch that they have to flip on to the generator? Exactly, right? It's like you watch the Discovery Channel specials is like the only thing that keeps working is like Hoover Dam.

Hoover Dam is the only thing that keeps working like 60 years after the fact. So apparently if you're in Los Angeles, you're gonna have electricity and be okay, but the rest of us are screwed. Is that what Hoover Dam does at Power SLA? Yeah, there's a power L.A. or Vegas, or both. I think both. I mean, it powers a lot, basically. There's a whole, there's like a documentary about it

and how like basically creating Hoover Dam in order to create the electricity that basically spurred the growth for that part of this country, screwed other parts of this country and like certain counties and stuff and it was a big kuha and all that. I just said, kuha. Kuha. Kuha. This is the internet. You can't just say whatever you want. Hey now. Get the mic away.

Good thing we have that explicit tag. So one of the commercials we worked on is airing on TV now. Have you seen it yet? I saw it last night. I was. I'm not sure, but I saw it I'm not Joe but I saw last night I saw the talking fish one no no no I saw the I saw the the Zego the the child one would you see it on it was on what station was I watching you that think comedy central maybe see I was watching the discovery channel I was watching when bears attack I was watching when bears attack and then the massive mass effect to commercial came. I was watching when bears attack. And then the massive, massive fact too commercial came on. I was like, wow, really?

No, yeah. Did I tell you the time I was, I flew out to San Francisco for something. I think it was one of my, one of my EA trips, checking out like bad company or something. And on the way back, I was on a jet blue flight

and I saw our commercial, our one you guys worked on on, oh, it was the Assassin's Creed commercial we worked on worked on and I thought on the airplane like as I was flying back nice those kind of cool is like oh I mean I was watching ESPN or something like that but still it was kind of cool to be in the air and like I worked on that Nido one time we were flying I think to Denver we're connecting in Denver somewhere and Jeff and I was on frontier and Jeff and I were watching like the direct TV in the flight and there was like a reality TV show on about becoming a flight attendant and working in the airline industry and I was on frontier and Jeff and I were watching like the direct TV in the flight and there was like a reality TV show on about

Becoming a flight attendant and working in the airline industry and I looked at the screen and someone asked if I wanted a drink and I turned to answer and the dude Who asked me if I wanted a drink was the dude who was on TV? And I was like, oh, that's you You can't let those people who went on TV like sneak up on you. Yeah, and he was like any look at the screen Like, oh, I remember that day. That sucked. Oh god, it's you He was like, and he looked at the screen like, oh, I remember that day. That sucked. Oh, God. It's you No, yeah, anyway those those bio shock ads we should I want to mention those those are real fun. They turn out really good I think yeah I'm it was it was it was great to go out there, you know

Take a look at the game and and work on it You know that that's one of the it's like one of the curses of working on these commercials is getting to play the games before Before they're you know 100% done I wouldn't call what we did playing the game though. That's true. We manipulated that game. You know, it's like spoilers about. Yeah.

It's funny. We've worked on these things for a while now. Yeah. And sometimes you're under certain deadlines and it's just sort of like a very business, you know, environment. But the one thing that always grabs me is no matter how serious or how business it is, or what game you're working on. If you're working on a setup that takes you four hours to get the setup correct, and the execution is super critical, and you're working on the

shot, and then someone happens to accidentally shoot someone else in the face. It's always funny. It's always funny. Every single time. That's right. I think I remember shooting you in the face. It's always funny. It's always funny. Oh, yeah, that's right. I think I remember shooting you in the face. No, it's not. Yeah, I think I'm going to get so excited. No, it's like, oh, we have when he was ahead of us now. So the ESRB is very, very, they're like, they're shooting people in the face. The ESRB is very, very intense about people getting shot, especially when it's gonna be on broadcast or not I guess not broadcast, but it's one that's gonna be on television and So we were setting up this shot and you have to miss characters when you shoot at them and if you watch the if you watch a shot

I was actually controlling the big daddy in the shot and it's just not like on the fifth take I turned in a square I had I had my target right on Joel's face and his where I had I had my target right on Joel's face. And it's blue-moie. And it was pretty hilarious. We all laughed and then we realized that we had to reset. Yeah, no, you laughed. Everyone laughed.

And last the last for 20 seconds and then goes, no, crap. We have to rest for three more hours of sitting all that up. Yeah. There's some behind the scenes stuff. I've had people complain that we don't talk about enough rooster teeth stuff on the podcast anymore. I'm always afraid to, you know, because I never know what we can say and what we can't say.

Yeah, it's always tricky. It's like anytime someone comes up here, it's like that we want to show what this guy's working on. And I certainly don't want to cause like more work for ourselves in the future. Oh, yes, or be. And then like later, it's going to be like, oh, by the way, you can't show people spaces now. Or you can't talk about the ESRB because that's not allowed.

You have to believe out any mention. You know that's what's going to happen. I know I can't remember. I'm sure we talked about this in the past. The funny female we ever got was from the ESRB. Oh, the assassin's street one? That was hilarious. We should make that into a shirt.

I still think we should make that into a shirt. We should make it. That should be the Rupertie business shirt. We can plain about it. But I appreciate what the ESRB does I absolutely much rather have them policing the video game industry than have a government regulation You know absolutely stepping in and doing it. Yeah, absolutely. I absolutely agree. I think the ESRB You know, we complain about it just because we make commercials and we have to deal with some of the rules

But I think they do a fantastic job. It's like a box of free donuts and we're gonna complain about it I'm working a complain about it. I've. I've worked now with marketing and production. I've been on the production side of video games and working with the SRB, they're actually, it's a pretty good group. I mean, they'll be very specific about what needs to be altered, what needs to be changed in order to sort of make it fit their qualifications. So, I will give them a lot of props. The SRB, they're absolutely great at what they do.

It's great, you say they give you specific direction and give you specific notes. It's not like the MPAA when you take a movie, they try to get a rating and they're just like yes or no. Yeah, sorry no, no, no, this is not qualified. This is rated in C17. It's true, like there's no note, it's just no, you have to fix this, it's just no. Right, and I think they specifically, like in the last one, they specifically said if Jack works on another thing, we're not going to give it a green. Sorry, it's one of these things.

These aren't really what you can do. Man, you can't fight that. But no, we can play, but we love them. It's true. Yeah, yes, everybody. Yes, it's much, much better than a government controlled system. Then it gets very, very dirty. What is going on?

What the hell photo is? You all obviously did not watch the the VGA's is Mike Tyson about to hit that chick Mike Tyson is on the stage with the cast of the short that smoky. Did he hit her? No, he didn't. Mike Tyson's looking a little round. Well, yeah, he what happened to him? It's like he's slowly turning into like your nice next door neighbor guy. Like he's got the sweater vest. You know, if Mike Tyson, you know,, you could call him a little round, but he could still kill me in one punch. Yeah, definitely. She's.

The point of the story is that VGA viewership is down again for the second year in a row. Well, this year it's down 5% from last year, which was down 30% from the previous year. We talked about this before. I'll just kind of pissed off about the VGA's, because they try to make this this big event for video games and stuff and everyone tries to say, oh, video games are becoming more popular and they're becoming more mainstream and they do this and it's like it's like the MTV movie award. Have you taught yet exactly? Have you spoke to anyone that you know that plays video games or is in the industry or anything? Does anyone feel connected to that show in any way, what's whatever? Do you feel like it has anything to do?

I mean, it's just a long, it's a chance for video game companies to advertise. That's all it is. And how many premieres that they have at the VJ is like five gaming hours? I think that's the way that you can execute on it where you can still advertise and have it not kind of suck. Yeah, yeah.

Well, and this, it's funny you say, like what do these people have to do with video game? You know culture or anything the story here says that you know all of these videos all the whole shows available on game trailers.com And the clip with you know Mike Tyson the cast jury shore has 16,000 views But the Halo reach premiere which also was on the VGA's has you know 600,000 views. Yeah, I mean that says it all right there Right, they have a headline that says viewers ship down and what do they have? They have a picture of Mike Tyson and the four people from Jersey Shore. Yeah. I mean, it's like that's five people you don't care about.

I mean, it's just just in a throw people. I just I don't know. Like I mean, that's that's sort of offensive to me is like is that what is that what these TV shows think that we want? Maybe we made a video game about Jersey Shore where you gave all those characters guns and they shot it then now maybe no no they give you a gun And you get a chase Jersey Shore down I'll give you a gun and you get to shoot yourself to get out of a misery having to watch or listen to people do you think Jersey Shore is gonna be like the next left for dead group That's a great idea

Oh my god, where the fuck did you pull that from? Oh my god. That's the best idea ever. That is a great idea dude. It's like a death for death. It's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death.

It's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death.

But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. But it's like a death for death. running shirts on and like glowing orange radiation. Yeah, what a great idea. You should make a Leffer dead too, mod. It's something I get some kind of skill. Oh my god. Oh, man.

You think about all the great stuff that some of the characters say, a Leffer dead that you want to hear? Oh god. Jesus, I hate that show. I watch one full episode of that show, and maybe you want to kill myself. I don't think I've ever seen any of those episodes. You're not missing anything dude It's it's honestly sad what what passes this television now. I don't know what to say I'm just I was at a bar. I you might have been with me Jack right a bar and some dude runs up to us

Who's totally drunk. He's like oh, it's great So what are the dudes on Jersey Shore punch this chick? It's awesome that kind of I guess maybe that does sound kind of awesome Well, no, it's not if you hear like a guy punched a chick. That's like, okay, that's bad And then but you see what these people represent like okay, I kind of understand it's still bad Well, my first thought is like what MTV producer Engineered that scenario. Well, it's the first thing that pops into my head I mean you look at the guys you look at the real world. Like the original real world, I would say even

like the second and third seasons, they was actually like real people in real situations. And now it's like, obviously manufactured. I'm not sure about that. No, the first couple seasons. Now they're like, like season 21 or something like that. But like, it was, it seemed like authentic people going. We wanted to pull out, I'm embarrassed to even talk about this.

I'm embarrassed to even talk about this. Oh, dude, I love real world. I was on, I was on love connection. Were you really? Oh yeah. And I'm not sure. Am I going to get sued? Are they? You know, it's just like it's just it's engineered. It's engineered. I'm going to link that. I have that. I have that. You need to help encoding your demo reel to digital. Oh, that's awesome. I have it. I have that you need to help encoding your demo reel To digital oh that's awesome. I have it on a hard drive somewhere here in the off. Oh, did you get a tractor? I don't know. I don't know where it is No, I mean like the whole reality show stuff. I mean like when I was out in L.A.

I worked on a film and I was sitting there I was there during casting and I've now seen people that we looked at for casting show up on reality shows And I said oh, okay, you're in your an actress, sir Right, well, we should probably wrap up, but before we wrap up real fast, I just want to make a quick mention that this week Avatar passed Titanic as the highest-grossing movie of all times. That's nuts. Oh, already.

How many weeks was that? Seven, I think, or eight. Geez. They should have a movie about the naive on a big boat that sinks. The naive. The naive? Oh, you call. Well, I was just playing on words.

Got the, you know, I'm almost embarrassed to say that we had doubts about this movie now, you know, when we first saw that preliminary teaser. Well, I never, I don't think I had doubts about it being a financial success. I just wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but I liked it. I was wrong. I liked it. I mean, it definitely seems anything, you know, it's gonna have a budget that big, you know, with the sort of the creative leadership, you know,

that's gotta be a candidate. So it's gonna make a lot of sense. I mean, that Michael Bayes probably crying right now, right? Yeah. Oh, because his whole attitude was how he's always been like, you know, fuck the critics, we're just making a movie that the people enjoy, you know, make it awesome.

And you know, he's a critically acclaimed movie that people enjoy, that outper make it awesome. And you know, here's a critically acclaimed movie that people enjoy that out performed Transformers 2. All right, no one's going to remember that Transformers 2 was the number two highest grossing movie in 2009. Yeah, everyone's just going to remember. Avatar, I'm looking at the top 10 here and it's crazy. It's all it's Harry Potter, Lord the Rings, dark night, and then oh, pirates is up there. but it's all these are all franchises.

Yep. Except for Titanic and Abbasar which is weird. And Abbasar will be a franchise. You think so? Yes and the only reason why Titanic Titanic is not a franchise is because you can't, right? Well, we linked up that video last week where Ben Stilder and Vince Vaughan pitched Titanic 2 to James Cameron. Everyone lives in the boat underwater. There was like an air pocket. the $1.85 eight billion right now. I'm going to say, I'll say 1.95. Wow, you're selling short. You think it's going to much higher? I can't, I just, I couldn't tell you.

I just, I'm going to bet all said and done. It's going to end up at 2.2. Wow. Yeah, looking at looking at that, I was probably real low. But I'm going to stick with it. 1.95 is what I said. I'm going to go with 2.3 just to like do the game Two point two and one dollar one dollar one dollar
