I think he might have been using trial software to record his his his theme song because it came in two pieces.

The dude had a vision and he carried through. That was awesome. That was fun. Yeah, man. That's I'm gonna say before this podcast started Gus was all business. Did you see that Jeff? Yeah, I did Gus is he's a he doesn't have time to

fuck around. This is the all business podcast. Today we were getting hand signals like here's how many if we have three minutes left I'm gonna hold the bucket. We got a lot of shit to do. Pax is coming up this weekend. We've I don't know about you guys but I've fallen behind in my work. I got a ton of shit to do. Let's hear about a gust. What's on the gust plate today? I got to eat lunch. That's good. I've got a nap as at 12.30. It's just non-stop. I was speaking of lunch. I got a new place first to go today. Oh, really? It's a stop. I don't have time. You guys are supposed to start that until the end of the pie. When Gus holds up a three, then you can

do. No, when I do those before, then we're doing lunch talk. Then it's all lunch talk. Then I'll tell you. All right were doing lunch talk that it's all lunch talk Then I'll tell you all right let me know when it's okay to talk about I said it's in pre-search No, I was ready to talk about lunch. It's dad over here. He's a little bit of a Pre-search. Pre-search. What the fuck is a dad coming? Tell us where you want to go for lunch? I want to go to a place called your mom burgers Your mom burgers. Yeah, it's on East just opened up on it 1700 East Caesar. Shadows. Oh shit That's far I can't go there. It's a short drive. I'm gonna get I'm gonna guess what's two miles away the number of restaurants

That are just being opened in trailers and by random people in Austin that these things are not actually being certified by the city Yeah, certified from a phone who would do that like who who says this is okay, you can eat at this place. The city, you actually have to get certified to rent a food cart. Can't open it often. Theoretically. I mean, I guess so. Theoretically, you can't murder anyone. The theory. Let's think about those food trucks. The inspector walks up and says, wait a minute, I have an inspector to you.

You just get in the driver's seat and drive off at 30 miles an hour. Exactly. You can get in a trailer with a burning grill on the back. So yesterday we had a good time. Yeah. Yesterday we, Zach looks like you and him in so much pain right now. That's the worst I've ever seen you look.

So I'm the only one that I know. I'm not saying a lot, I know. I'm the only one in the podcast right now without headphones because my ears hurt so bad. They're so great. That's the worst Jack has ever looked. That's like putting a barrel into the bottom of a barrel and then going to the bottom of that barrel.

We were outside all day yesterday. Yeah, it was good. We were at the old one. We saw him have a look worse with sun. Yeah, like, sun was not good to us. I look like I had a helmet on the other day. I'm looking around. Well, no, the problem was it was like sunny all day, but it was never hot. So you don't feel like, oh, I am getting sunburned.

It's like, no, no, then I looked down at three o'clock. I'm like, oh my God, my arms are red. And you know, I don't know how much we should say about what we did yesterday. But I know. We're showing it a pack. Okay. Theoretically, I will say that my initial, my initial, yeah, that's a question. Brandon Brandon. Oh, then okay my initial reaction when I got to the scene at the abandoned airport and you gave me what is Essentially a hazmat suit to put on I was like here we go again Bernie finds a way to make me miserable every time we do a fucking shoot and you give me a football helmet and a hazmat suit And I was like god damn it. However. I'm the only one who didn't get burned yesterday I think. Because the whole body suit in the helmet, yeah, I got a little sun on my nose but that's

it. The worst part about that suit, that was one of those suits too, is that all the heat stayed trapped in it. It like somehow warmed up and then there was no air flow through it until mine got ripped. So I don't know how you, I don't know how you dealt with it all. It was not fun. I tried to keep it open, zipper open as much as possible. That's a barbecue technique. Is it?

Yeah, I was just stuffing a little bag. I was slow roasted. But I don't have any sunburn at all and my wife is miserable and you guys all look burned so except for concern. Yeah, she got burned. Yeah, you look a little red. Yeah, I love that. You guys are funny.

Oh no, we were in little red. Yeah, I love that you guys are funny We did a thing yesterday where we shot outdoors all day and it wasn't like Jack said it wasn't that hot of a day No, I look 75. No, no, it was breezy. I mean, I don't think I was sweating it Let's not let's not sugarcoat it. It was fucking windy. Yeah, it was beyond breezy. It was windy. And which I hope, you know, we can, you know, end of the round that stuff. But we essentially built a 3,500 pound toy. Yes, we did. That was a lot of fun. In fact, when we was a little experiment that we ran, and the experiment after we got done shooting it was so much fun that we just sat there experimenting with this thing. I also learned something interesting about abandoned parking lots, no matter how remote and out

of the way and abandoned parking lot is, including this one that was hidden by berms of dirt that had grass growing on them. It's been a ban for 12 years. Been a ban for 12 years that apparently about every 15 minutes somebody comes to the abandoned parking lot. A city employee or like a street sweeper, a couple of homeless people carrying bamboo. Some like 55 year old dude on a bicycle, some old joggers, the old couple yeah the old it was the lady's dog the dude who was using the parking lot as a shortcut the dude like he like drove his like Hyundai Sonata like out of the fucking bushes like nothing and just wave

and keep going it was the fuck is this guy the white SUV that pulled up and watched us for an hour and then back up and left it turned out there is no one in there as I was leaving I looked out there was no one in there. As I was leaving, I looked in, there was no one in that car. Oh, that's even cruiser. So they parked and then got, they went somewhere. It drove itself. Some dude was laying in the backseat and uh,

Of all those people, the least one. What he just guided me was the guy in the mountain bike who started off about 100 yards away. Then he got 75 yards away. Then he got as close as 25 yards away, just sitting there, standing there watching us. Then he stood next to our cars for Well, it was like ninja cat like you would look at him He'd be kind of far away. You'd look down just some work. You'd look up and he'd be suddenly closer Down he looked up and he was right in front of you

He's just like a ninja cat his way all the way up We were there for about seven hours and we must have seen 10 different sets of people come and go it was really crazy. Yeah in the middle of nowhere Like you and also not an easy place to get to. But you'd have to know where to turn. I drove past it like five times trying to find it in the morning. Yeah. Yeah. I and I've been there before too for something completely unrelated. And uh and uh yeah. And it was still hard for me to find even though I'd been there before. So it was weird. But at the end of the day it was just we were in the sun too long. Nobody knew how hot we were and then we started counting.

Hey, you look a little red. Anyway, say that while you're still out there, that should be a warning sign. That's a bad sign. Yeah, it's going to get a hell of a lot worse. I actually started to feel a little sick. I had a real bad headache when I got home last night. And I fell asleep right after a loss.

I fell asleep at 9 o'clock and slept for 12 hours straight. Yeah. But I feel world better now. So Gus wakes up at 9 a.m. I was like, I was so tired. Yeah, how's that world better now. So guess what he's up at 9 a.m. I was so, yeah, how's that? What's that like? I was so tired. Awesome. I didn't, I didn't fall asleep like you did, but I was so like physically beat down because Gus and I had a whole other thing on. But I was so, I was so tired and exhausted from the day of shooting and what you and I went through. I didn't want to talk about that, but yeah. I, well, I'm not going to say

exactly. I'm just going to say that I couldn't, I didn't want to talk about that, but yeah. I'm not gonna say exactly. I'm just gonna say that I couldn't, I didn't want to fall asleep, but I was too tired to stay in the living room. So I didn't watch, I chose not to watch last night so I could lay in my bed and watch anything else. Just a lot of enough to sit in the chair. My face was so burned that last night. I usually sleep on, I like on my stomach, on my face,

but I was like trying to sleep on my back and I woke myself up two or three times where I had rolled over in like my face, touched my pillow and it hurts so bad it woke me up It's it's rough guys are babies man dude. I hope you I hope you man up and I hope you look better by the time packs Yeah, okay, I've got I brought the solar cane today So I'm gonna be lathering myself up with that. I mean it may be different for the last like five years of my life Since we've been indoors sitting in front of computers the entire time But I'm pretty used to getting sunburned at least once a year.

Yeah, sunburns aren't bad. I got sunburned last week, actually. Yeah, I was canoeing. See, that's what I was going to say. Is that you had the helmet and you had the full body suit. But you also, if you had a previous week of sun from your vacation, which by the way, how was your vacation? The most relaxing week of my life. Really? Yeah. Let's see what this is about. It's a work. I don't want to go to deep into what I did of my life. Really? Yeah. Let's see what this is. It's a work. I don't mind going to- Oh, I'm not going to go too deep into what I did in my vacation.

But I will say this, I didn't touch a video game for five days. Yeah, it is rather relaxing. You have no idea. I was away from computers and video games. You stayed away from your primary leisure activity for a week. I knew you were mad. I must have been so relaxing. No, it really was, man.

That didn't take my job home with me. Fucking loser. Fucking freak. Come on. I'd say last couple nights, I've seen Jeff on Xbox Live playing Final Fantasy. You're still playing Final Fantasy. I love it. Is the tutorial over yet?

Uh, you've been doing it for two weeks now? Yeah, you've been thinking about that. I got about 30 hours in it right now. How far along are you presented twice? I am on chapter nine. I don't know, I don't know. I think there's like 17 chapters maybe. So you're like halfway done at 30 hours?

Mm-hmm. But I've been grinding for a while. Like I hit this sweet spot in chapter nine. I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave. So I can keep collecting a chapter nine. Yeah, I can keep collecting... Chapter 9? Yeah, I can keep collecting, uh,

what are they called, incentive chips, which are with 2500 gill each, so... Wow. Wow, you must be a big player in file fantasy land. It sounds... I'm just using it to level up weapons. It sounds like a full life. It's great.

You have everything you need. You can ever make fun of me for World of Warcraft ever again. No, you can't. I can't. Also, you know exactly what I'm talking about because you've played every final fantasy game. I know, but I could think of you as well. Because I'm not playing 13 though. You will.

Is this really a new patch for World of Warcraft? Do you know what that is? No. Is something about like the randomized instances or something like that or battlegrounds? I don't know. I saw a brief blurb on the puttaku about it. What an informative section of the podcast. Well, I don't know. I saw a brief blurb on the puttaku about what an informative section of the podcast. Well, I asked you about it.

You knew about it, Jack. There's somebody doing with characters. Go back to sleep over there, Sunburn. There may be a dragon and or a dungeon introduced into the patch. I will say during my week off though, I made up my goal to go to a different dive bar at 2pm every day and I was able to accomplish that. So I spent a lot of like early afternoons listening to old guys bitch about the basketball tournament while I got drunk. Yeah. Yeah, it was cool.

There's this place right by our house, right by where Gus and I live, called the Carousel Lounge. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Really? Yeah. Remember you guys had a goal at one point in your life. This was an actual life goal. That you were going to drink it every bar and Austin. I think about that all the time. We were going to start a website. I think we even don't do it all We don't mean for it. We started it. We went we went to a bunch of bars that we've never been back to since then That's not got drunk at a holiday in bar one time just just because of that the the fucking bartender I guess was from Colorado and call it I guess whatever the fucking hockey team from there had just won

He gave everyone free drinks. Oh, I remember that yeah, yeah, the avalanche, I guess. The patch note you're talking about Jack is, I guess they introduced a random battleground system. Okay. How lazy do you have to be to lose the enthusiasm for getting drunk every day? I mean, what is that project? I took it apart. I took a drunk every day to do it at home. Yeah, come on. Get to go outside. We've already established that we're not outside people That's where this is honest. Yeah No, I thought that was a great idea that we had with a friend of ours And then Bradley and I would like I'd still like to do that someday if we ever find the time Gus Mm-hmm. I would also like to like adapt that so that it includes hamburgers

There's so many great burger places in us. I drove past the fucking hat creek on Burnett the other day And I mean we said I haven't been back. I haven't been to that location since they left most. I drove past the fucking hat creek on Burnett the other day. And I mean, we sat, I haven't been back. I haven't been to that location since they left downtown. I haven't either. Yeah. So sad for them. We're just back to the local food. Yeah.

How do we get away from the local food segment? That's two times in one hand signal, which is 11 minutes. So did you see that, I guess, Valve announced that in the Lefforded DLC that one of the Lefforded original characters will not survive? We mentioned that on Abu thisoparded DLC that one of the Leoparded original characters will not survive. We mentioned that on Abu this week, as a matter of fact.

I did see that. Well let's not talk about it then, because it's apparently Jack's already talked about it. Way to go, Jack. Yeah, it's been discussed on the internet. We can't pass. Jack gets first. I got, I called dibs on that news. So I guess in the Leoparded 2 you do know who it is.

I know who it is. No, I don't. I think in the left for the two you know who it is. I know who this. No, I don't. I think well, wait, do you know who my is you know who it is because you read it somewhere because you were told by somebody. I know who it is because I was told somebody so I'm just going to go fucking kidnap portrait of packs now.

Is it actually official? They announced that they don't someone's not someone will die. They didn't know to but they said it official. It's not speculation. I'm reading it on Kotaku. I came from Val because I wouldn't want to say then use come from Val Hums by way of valves chat

Allocic chat is the writer for Leffordette who was speaking. I guess to Jeff Keely at GDC Yeah, actually. He was the guy met at a X-10 He's a really nice guy. He's the writer. You know, you know, we're is that your friend? No? He is the other friend. Cool. He had a trump card my knowledge So I guess the original survivor will die in the left for dead two DLC, but then there'll be more left for dead one DLC, which has you work up to that point. Unless I'm unless I'm wrong, let me see if I can remember this correctly. Uh, Chet is a writer uh, that works. He does left for dead. Right. And he's a writer for Valve.

And essentially the way that he got his job at Valve was he was just writing a website. There probably a whole lot of people hadn't heard of called Old Man Marie and I think it's a check that was writing that. Oh really? And Gabe was just a reader of it, Gabe Newell and just said, I like to see guys, he's great, what's his name? Yeah, Gabe and Tyco of Pinyorcade used to link to Old Man Marie stuff all the time. Yeah, back in the way back in the day. Yeah, I didn't realize that that's where he came from. Yeah. Years ago back in the way back in the day. Yeah. I didn't realize that. That's where he came from. Yeah.

Chat. They have their email pictures up of them on the site. Oh, wow. That's awesome. Yeah. So that's an old man Murray.com. And you can see some of the chats earlier work. We'll definitely be sure to link them that.

It's interesting to see how Valve picks up. I feel like they do something kind of similar to what we do. They find people that they like on the internet or that are involved in their community and then bring them on board to do stuff. Kind of like, that's how they acquired Turtle Rock, who gave Lefford dead and I guess Chet from Old Man Murray. But not you, you weren't listening.

You weren't listening to that. Yeah. Whereas we find people from the community with low expectations. And explain that. Yeah, I guys doing. Welcome to the podcast, Jack. Thanks.

Let me abuse them until they leave. I'm trying to see on here when the last article posted on Old Man Marie was. Did you guys read this back in the day? I've read this site before. I wouldn't say that I read a lot. I only ever really read it when it was linked to from Penny Arcade. It never was in my regular rotation. I'm actually never heard of it.

The last article posted was 12, 12, 2001. Yeah, it was a long time ago. Yeah. Then they took a big break and then there's... They just couldn't handle the stress after 9, 11. 1, 31. Broken apart. Last review is of the Sims hot date.

Ooh. So cool that the site is still up though. But that's cool. I mean, there's a lot of people out there who are doing game review sites and doing gaming blogs and to know that you can get a reader of the caliber of someone like Gabe Newell Then something you're off for a job that I think it's pretty cool. I think a lot of people would appreciate that and actually does happen. Mm-hmm. Not to us, but... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha You want to go work for Gabe Newell's ever saying? No, I'll be, no. No, I'm very happy working with you. If you worked for Gabe Newell, you'd never get to spend the entire day out in the sun with a fucking helmet on.

That's not, that wasn't a bad part. I don't want to, I won't go into it, but it was, what we were filming had a really rough period. I think I had it way worse than you. I don't know. I'm gonna have to lean on a, I'm gonna leave lean on. You got one, you got one bad moment. No, no, I got a couple. I'm gonna have to lean on a, I'm gonna leave lean on. You got one, you got one bad moment. No, no, I got a couple. I got this a lot.

Don't forget he tore, don't forget he tore his suit. My suit, my paper suit was torn just so you know. Yeah well, I got hit in that. I touched carbon fiber. I don't know if we told you that. Carbon fiber. Even hard you were hit. Even worse.

So I'm reading on Twitter, all the people we know are already headed out for packs Are we sure the pack starts on Friday and Thursday? Oh? Okay, don't check that when is preview days is that Friday? There's just such things That's like comic-con fucking idiot go back to sleep Jesus Christ sunburns got already gone straight to your head No, yeah, the dealer the exhibit hall for packs opens at two p.m. on Friday Yeah, what times it closed, you know, I believe it's at six or seven p.m. I don't I couldn't I looked all over the website the other day. I couldn't feel it. It's in that link. I sent you remember I told you to bookmark it. I said this is where the exhibit hall hours are in case you can't get them. Oh, okay

Great. I wonder if I bookmarked that. Yeah, I'm I doubt you did. I bet I did Um, but yeah, no, it definitely starts Friday. Jeff and I are flying out there tomorrow morning to get our booth set up So when I flew out to I flew out to New York for the screenings for the streaming awards you guys remember what the streamies are? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, how was that by the way? It was okay. It was okay I kind of wish I hadn't made the trip all the way to New York to do it really yeah they had to screenings in New York and in LA and we're in the Academy, so I had to go out and vote on the nominees. So I thought, I'll go, you know, this is very important, people want awards and so let's take this seriously.

So I flew out there to watch the screenings and nominees. I probably could have done it just as easily from the comfort of my own home. But then I went from there to New York, then we went to... What did we go to Seattle for? In Mild City, Connacone. That's where we go. And then we came back here for Southwest Southwest. So it is like, we're trying of flying a couple weeks ago. You're a great entire country.

Look at you. Pretty much. I think I added like 6,000 miles. You're like George Clooney. In that wood trip. Hey, I'm getting close to man. You know what I'm at now? What do you at?

I'm at 1.85 million frequent flyer miles. That's pretty crazy. I'm getting close to 2 million. You know, I watched up in the air you're coming recently with my wife and She was like 10 million frequent flyer miles. Is that a lot? I was like, yeah, that's a lot I just like it doesn't seem like it and I said well, let's put this in perspective You know in the movie George Clooney says that he flew 350,000 miles in the last year If you do that for three years you fly a million miles. Mm-hmm. Do that for 30 years you fly 10 million miles Yeah, yep. Yeah, we knew a guy who. Do that for 30 years, you fly 10 million miles. Yep.

Yep. We knew a guy who had a ton. The guy who used to ship our stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he would personally get on the plane with the stuff. That's why he had so many miles. Yeah, he would have shipped everybody hand in hand. But he apparently had some job in Asia where he'd fly over there a bunch.

But anyway, so we fly typically American. Right? Uh, that's changing way. That's changing, changing. Yeah, yeah, American has been a lot you used to be into the Milo thing too You're not anymore. No, I totally am but okay. I'm just so fed up with their old planes that I'm open to I'm open to change I'm just I'm I just I just go for shortest flight now. Let's all I care about no layover Typically was always the shortest force and it still is for the most part unless cut and metal Well, we all love like Jeppeloo or whatever Jeppeloo is awesome We all living in love love living in Austin, but there's one problem with being here

And that is it's very rarely a direct flight anywhere. Mm-hmm. A non-stop non-stop, you know Yeah, we learn the distinction between non-stop and red We have the world's most worthless international airport That's actually do you know what it takes a qualifies in international flight? No, you have to be a one flight away from an international airport like that you can connect to something. Oh really? That then flies. Oh, we actually isn't everyone an international airport then.

We actually do fly to Mexico though. We fly to Mexico. Mm-hmm. All right, look at us. Yeah. Yeah, there we go. We got a can't get that South terminal that I've never been to. Yeah, you've been over there's anyone ever been to that. No, that's the new one they open up a couple

years ago, right? No, it's like not at all attached to the real airport. It's made out of like cardboard. I do have it rains after we build it. I do have to say we have a really nice airport. It's a channel. Oh, it's great. Oh, yeah, it's one of the few you can actually just like walk from, you know, check in and bam, you're right at your gate within like five minutes. Jeff is he gonna talk about the blue bonnets I thought I hope no one would even say anything. We were at the abandoned airport the old air actually go a band It's not a band and it's like the old airport

Right, it's not a band if it's not there anymore. The only thing left is the tower. It's cool Yeah, and the science they like terminal this way in a lot way, but Jack has lived in Austin his entire life. In fact, Jack is like a fifth generation Austinite or something, right? Yeah, fifth generation. Which is pretty impressive because Texas is a relatively new state in terms of the union. So, your family were here before Texas was a state? Yeah, we were here when it was still like a territory or whatever, before they made it officially a state.

No, it was not pregnant. Anyway, so are you friends with Davey Crocod? I am, we're BFFs. My family was here when it officially a state. No, it was not pregnant. Anyway, so are you friends with Davey Crocod? I am, we're BFFs. My family was here when it was still Mexico. He just calls him Dave Crocod. Yeah, but uh, I'll call Dave, he's a DZ, Uncle D.

But yesterday Jack kept asking everyone about the old airport, because he had been here when it was the official airport. As was I and so was Matt. We've all been there. I was here too. And apparently there was some kind of blue bonnet display in that airport jack must have asked Everybody he came in contact that day about that blue I think he has to do it on the bike also you like everyone

Who wants to question like I can't remember the blue bonnet? Why would why would the blue bonnets hanging upside down from the I don't know in carousel luggage carousel such a big deal It was it's like that's like your your pen ultimate towel the memory down from the fucking carousel, luggage carousel, such a big deal. What's Davey Cross there? Maybe it's like a conspiracy theory thing. Like Blueblom was the code. You're about to be here, about to be activated. You're a sleeper at H. You're supposed to do it for a hostess or something. I'm not.

Look at it, Jack. I really doubt that he's a sleeper agent. He's an all-out agent. Jack and I are working on a new weight loss contest. We're going to get into something here. And we're trying to figure out the rules of it We're trying to figure it out a new weight loss Yeah, previously how'd I go? How do we get down the writing weight the results are stunning Let me please just try though about American so I did this like triangle thing

So I thought okay, I'm gonna be on three flights in the next three days. The first flight I get on has wireless, because American has wireless on some of their flights. So I get wireless, and I think, well, it's not any five of flight, and I have two flights, because I'm connecting through Dallas, I'm just going out to New York. So I'll get the 30 days for $30, and then we're going to Boston as well.

So I'll get all these trips, you You don't have a wireless and all these flights out of six flights I took on that trip two of them had wireless on the flight and now I'm hoping that maybe I can break even on this in the Boston Flites that somebody will have wireless on one of these planes. Wow fucking hope so it's frustrating Yeah, that sucks. I mean that's that's the worst part. They shouldn't offer they shouldn't offer the extended service If not all the flights. Yeah, I think you know It makes more sense if you fly out of like I think New York if you fly it in New York I bet most of the flights have wireless, you know a big hub for them right but a fly out of Austin not really How are you connecting to Boston? Are you connecting through Dallas or through?

I'm not going tomorrow. I'm going Friday and then we're going through Dallas. You go through Dallas You and I going to Chicago go I don't know why see that's what I did when I went out to New York So with you Chicago and that's why I had the flight I had the wireless in the first flight. Oh, yeah, Austin Chicago. Yeah Oh, do wireless woo. Yeah, I think so and the other thing too. I think it depends on the plane Yeah, we fly a lot of super eighties and the way those are the ones with the engines in the back of the plane Yeah, the two three configuration with the seats. Yeah, well, the super the super 80 have one fire. We're on a 757 I think it was on a 757 You know what you know what this means guess we're gonna make some people uncomfortable a streaming poor

Jack's been doing something kind of creepy. I'm gonna call Jack out on it. Okay, good Jack connects back to his computer and listens into the office when he's not here. No. Yes. I've done it. I've only time I've ever connected back to the computer is the start uploads and that's it. He connects back and the microphone activates when you take control of your computer. So he listens to the office when he's not here.

What are you here? What have you heard? Have you heard anything juicy? No. Do you keep a log? No. You're like a police scan radio fan. That's not right to do that, right?

No, that's creepy, dude. But if you think that's creepy, you can also activate the webcam if you wanted to, and spy in on you guys. Yeah, I'm not a computer, I guess you can. Hey, what are they going to make the Mac the 30 inch cinema displays with cameras? They probably won't, I think they're about to introduce a 27 inch display with the camera like this. Yeah. But I don't think they have any plans for a third third I don't know if they can make it that big how big is your display right there this is a 22 god that seems like 24 30 to me almost I think that's a 24 I think it's a 24 this is a 24 they're about to introduce a 27 yeah huh there were there was a rumor for a while that Mac or Apple was going to start making TVs now it's going to be with the next big thing a rumor about a Mac product

who could imagine but it was going to be like an iMac that was also a television that was meant for like a living room. I think that that might have been misinformation Like someone saw the trademark filing for Apple TV. Yeah Yeah, it could be true is the iPod is iPad for presale yet. Yeah, yeah, man I I signed up to get notified when it went on presale and I got a March 13th I think yeah, that's a deal went on like two in the morning They never they never sent me the email letting me know watch a big order right now I will soon his podcast over I'm not that was in the previous awu remember and that was when Gus was on the couch. Yeah No, you put it. No, okay. You were too busy constantly throw Xbox game

There you go Jack's just fucking crow barring in the owl place. Yeah You want to cut away doing it segment aw owl doing the podcast? No, not particularly. I think we're going to really well. I'm a big fan of owl. I really am. We still seem to be talking about it. So I guess it's something. I thought you had a major Nelson do your number for this week's episode.

This week's episode. Yeah. Yeah, he was funny. He was funny. Just in that little number. We get a pretty Jack has a pretty good idea for the next introduction. Yeah, the next one should be pretty, Or the next number should be pretty fun. Yeah, Major Nelson is a real standup guy.

He only charged by the digit. So, he's still a single digit episode. It was way cheaper than if they got to like 10. Well, it's union stuff, dude. He has it. He's a certified member of, what is it, aftra? I'm sure he is, right, probably. I don't know.

Who knows? Why not? I'll make him that. So, the iPad initially started off as going to be a $499 item, right? At the cheapest level, right? Yeah, without 3G 16 gigs Wi-Fi only so basically not the one you want That's what I want you want the cheapest one with no 16 gig Wi-Fi. Yeah, it's for Griffin She doesn't she's not gonna need 3G

Where we already got a G in her name. Yeah, and Jeff has a G and then we also know Gavin and Gus we're for G got a G in her name. Yeah, and Jeff has a G and then we also know Gavin and he got four G. Four G. Uh, however, the way I look at it is I can't tell you the last time I was with my I was with I would need an iPad or laptop where I wasn't around Wi-Fi. Well, you never carry a laptop with you. So I can see why you wouldn't you. I tell you with me. I mean, I have it at the I Wi-Fi at the office. I have Wi-Fi at home. Is it every coffee shop in town? Where's your laptop right now? Let me ask you. Let me ask you. Where I have Wi-Fi. the office, I have Wi-Fi at home. Is it every coffee shop in town? Where's your laptop right now? What's at home? Let me ask you this.

Let me ask you this. Where I have Wi-Fi. Where do you think you don't take your laptop anywhere? Of course you don't need. Well, like Griffin uses my laptop now more than I do. Because I don't, you have this desktop that work to work on. And so she takes my laptop around her to theaters and to coffee shops, to schedule work, or to have production meetings, and they always have Wi-Fi wherever she goes.

So I don't see the reason to pay an extra $100 and they're paid for a subscription. That's a very Austin thing. Well guess what, I live in Austin. But I mean, I've taken my laptop on trips, the last trip on the San Francisco for X10 and the hotel didn't have Wi-Fi. It was probably the only hotel in San Francisco that doesn't have Wi-Fi. But I mean, that's happening. I asked a book back into the cheapest possible hotel.

Yeah, if you look at, and also how often does my wife travel two, three times a year maybe. The point is 99% of the time she needs to use that iPad, she will be within distance of Wi-Fi. No, no, that totally makes sense. Yeah. And then plus, plus because we have AT&T, she gets free Wi-Fi at any AT&T hotspot anyway. Yes, where are those?

Most Starbucks have them. Most Starbucks, yeah. Is there an internet jack on this thing? It's like an actual plug? No, I don't think so. In my opinion, I think you don't realize how much you go without it because you always have your iPhone. When was the last time you had your iPhone around a wireless network?

I used, you know, before I had my iPhone, I had my iPod touch. And it's like that, you know, it's very similar to an iPhone, it rents all the apps, but Wi-Fi only. And for the most part, I could get bi-okay. The only time that it really sucked was Like waiting for the bus. Yeah, and even then I could wait for the bus down here. There was I could get the Wi-Fi off the Starbucks at the corner And since we have AT&T Internet service for our office. I would log in with that and get it for free No, there you go

So we're gonna try taking the the Metro anytime soon you guys want to ride that out somewhere To the Andrew? No. We go to Highland Mall. Does it run on the weekends? I'm thinking this runs nonstop now. I'm going to go every day, not nonstop, but every day. I would do it on Saturday or Sunday, but the times are wonky for a weekday travel.

I don't know. They only run it during prime commuting hours in the middle of the week. I don't imagine it would run it on the weekend. You guys are going to have to explain what you're talking about. Well, Austin Metro Rail opened up after like a seven year battle. Yeah, it's the commuter rail that got voted in.

Like how many years ago was it voted in? It was a 2002 or three? I think 2003 or 2004. Yeah, it was a while. And literally they just opened it this week after all that time. They were supposed to open last year around this year. Yeah, it was open last South by. And then like the week before they were supposed to launch it

They're like, oh, we take us a little longer. Well, let you know when it's ready. It's been delayed now for two two full years Yeah, yeah, you hear the biggest complaint now is it's too quiet And they're afraid someone's like walk on to the track and not notice a train's coming I heard that yesterday they actually had to stop the train because someone was standing on the track and refused to move And the train had to come to a complete stop. Security got off the train and arrested him. Like, oh, was that like a wacky homeless guy? Yeah, it was just like some crazy guy. Okay. It was like just refused to move, made the train stop.

Huh. And then later another dude was like walking down the tracks, saw the train and that get the last minute jumped out of the way. Then train kept going. Then you just jump back on the track, kept walking. Weird. It was like, stand by me or something. So bridge. You had to get across.

Train dodging. I saw a clip on LiveLeak in Detroit where a fire fighter and a cop, this is the story at least it's posted, they stopped on the railroad track to talk to one another, you know, driver side window, the driver side window, and a train ended up hitting the fire truck. What the fuck? Yeah, it was pretty ridiculous. Wow. I mean, apparently the train comes around the corner. Cobb hasn't had enough time to see it and back to hell out of the way, but they came

with the fire trucking time. And I mean, a fire engine is a very expensive piece of equipment. I mean, how much do you think a fire engine costs? I don't know, man. A couple hundred thousand? Probably, yeah. About half a million, I would guess. Jesus.

What's the number one? For a chatting vehicle. And then hits the train hits the tooth. I'm sure the train was damaged as well. No, who cares about the train was fine. It's crazy man a train you watch those train videos Nothing feels a train down. No train will go through anything They should just like that's what they should do when they want to cut through a mountain They built train tracks right up the mountain That's a great that should be like a new weapon

We should just build train tracks to our enemies and they just send trains at them It's nothing stuff I always think about that when did you ever read the Halo novels? At all anybody. Yeah, they do a lot of the space battles in the Halo novels like ship-to-ship stuff Mm-hmm, and they have those big Mac cannons which they fire a huge slug of spent uranium That's the big human weapon in kind of like a rail gun fashion Mm-hmm, and I always think about it just being like firing a train at somebody's what those things do Yeah, there's a big show that the beginning of Halo 2 right? Yeah, those are the big orbital guns and you're in one of the platforms that you're finding in the beginning of Halo 2 Mm-hmm. I believe so here in you know, at least you're around them

Yeah, I think you just you can see them like when you're walking around fighting if you look out in the distance You see like one of them blow up and one of them fire. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is pretty cool It's our answer to the plasma weapons that the covenant have out in the distance you see like one of them blow up and one of them fire. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is pretty cool. It's our answer to the plasma weapons that the covenant have. Let's just make a gun, but huge. Exactly. It's like, that's our thing. We take projectiles and make them bigger and faster.

It takes us away. I'll look at the actual specs on this way you guys talk about something else. Hey, well, you were out of the office when this announcement came out, Jeff. I don't know if you saw it. Did you see that it's speculated that the Xbox is going to start supporting external USB memory devices? I did see that, yeah. Very exciting.

Up to 16 gigs in size. Is that the cap? 16 gigs? Yeah, that's great. And you can bond up to two different 16 gig devices to your Xbox. Will they be like, can it be any USB device? I just get memory sticks. Yeah. Yeah. Can you partition like a 32 gig memory stick, do it be any USB device? Do you have any ideas? I just get memory stick and it would be hard drive.

Yeah. Can you partition like a 32 gig memory stick, do you think? Why not? That's what I was curious about. I don't know. Why not just let those third party memory cards that Bernie and I have work again? I think, I think just because they think people will use it

to hack, maybe they don't think they have full control over that, but I guess USB will use it up to everything. Yeah. I don't know. I'm sure those companies will now come back around. I, I from one like it. I think they took away something. I've done it. Now they're offering another solution. I realized that I may not be the typical Xbox gamer, but I have a 512 meg card that I keep my profile on and then all of my saved games because I work from home in the office back and forth a lot.

And it's a constant, it's a constant file management problem. Yeah, 512 meg seems like a ton, but it, uh, it fills up pretty fast. Yeah, I just end up archiving like any game I'm not playing right now. I just archive it to my hard drive. And then when I need it, it's like, oh, but then it becomes, oh, which hard drives that I put on? Right. Because you got like three or four hard drives at home and it's a whole thing. DMZone was here last week with us.

Yeah. And I heard he sat on the podcast. Yeah. He told us I'm cool by the way, the DRM works where you can consolidate all your purchases to one Xbox. You can do that once a year to service the offer. Oh really and you show them on do all your dear like this is my Xbox DRM transfer everything to this box is it a paid thing or No, I think once a year. It's free. I'm thinking you know I'm but it's really cool because in my house I buy stuff all over the place I buy stuff at work

So and the way that DRM the Xbox works is anyone can use it on that Xbox. So, if you think about a family, anybody my family could play the downloadable content on that Xbox as long as it's the one I bought it on. How do you go about doing that? Is that like an option on the Xbox Manu or do you have to go to the website? I believe so. I can aim DMC. You probably have to call somebody.

Like, someone you'd probably have to, you know, accept an option for that. But that sounds really, really like that be really handy Hey speaking of Xbox storage. I feel like I read an article yesterday right before we were running out to go to our shoot that There's all but confirmed standalone 250-gay card. Yeah, major Nelson has the Yeah, yeah, he said you can buy him now. That's great. What's the other available now? He had a link that I didn't click on so maybe it was a link to the announcement or a link to buy it. I've been using Zoom Marketplace now for probably 75% of my entertainment. I've noticed that.

Yeah, and so that would, that's really helpful to me, because I've been watching, I've been like obsessed with Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Burn Notice. And I've been, It's on it. Yeah, I've been bought, I've bought like pretty much every episode of both of those, so I'm starting to really eat into that hard dress. Yeah, I just, I'm looking here on Amazon right now,. I need to buy a 250 gig Xbox hard drive for 130 bucks

I'll buy the hell out of that and I I bought whatever the the next one up was before this 120 and it comes with a tool that you just hook your Drives together essentially, and it transfers everything. Yep works like a charm. Couldn't be any easier. So I was worried about switching and when I did it was, I wish I had done it sooner. Yeah, those things are great. Do you know if the 250 ships with that? I think I read a rumor that it's not going to ship

with that cable. Oh, I don't know. So if you have that cable hold on to it, just to be safe, I don't know, that's enough to research that. I think it came with a cable in a disc and the disc was the transfer part. I think the disc just had like an update to the dashboard just to make sure you had the software to do it. Oh I see, okay. Kind of like that. My end wireless adapter came with it.

Right. You'd probably didn't need it because you connect Xbox Live all the time. Yeah, a disc is what. Yeah, same thing. So let me tell you about this Mac Canon before we get too far away from it. This is a specs on the Mack Cannon in Halo. A standard ship-based Mack fire slugs would be the Ferret Tungsten or Depleted Uranium at around 40% of the speed of light. The high-muscle speed gives the 600 tons slug, the kinetic energy momentum, the necessary damage to target. An orbital defense platform, which is what you saw in the video too, fires a 3000 tons

slug at nearly 50% of the speed of light around 150,000 kilometers per second. So that's a big gun. Wow. Pretty fast. That's your nerdy moment of day. That's me getting revenge for you knowing how Luke Skywalker became a Jedi by traveling to a cave and beating up somebody. I didn't say that. I know. Whatever you said, then he got Qui-Gon's lightsaber. We've talked about the radio plays. That's not nerdy at all. Hello. I guess you got that off.

Halo PDF. Just to say no. I found from a link from halo.budget.org. So have you still been playing any bad company 2 check? I was playing the last night as a matter of fact. Really? And you haven't touched it at all yet.

Have you, Bernie? No, I played Mass Effect 2. After Mass Effect 1 for like what two or three weeks straight. How many hours have you put in Mass Effect 1 do you know? When you were talking about playing Final Fantasy, you've been playing nonstop, it looks like and you said you're only 30 hours in. About 30 hours. I mean, I looks like you've played a lot more than that. It seems like it. Okay. Did you play here in the office all day and then you're at home playing it too? That would seem like 16 hours a day to me, but

I as much as I played Mass Effect, I think I only logged like 38 hours on that on that spec one I it seems that's what the saves are telling me wow. Yeah, that's not very much I mean, I'm sure I have some reloads that I lost especially a Mass Effect one man one thing Mass Effect two has over Mass Effect One is the auto save systems way better way better Mass Effect you can forget to save and it's like BioShock where oh I'm dead. Hey when did I save? Oh that's right I saved two hours ago. Yeah, I got sucks. So I'm fucked. So basically when you landed on the planet it's when it auto saves and Mass Effect one. But I was gonna say I took me two weeks or three weeks

to get all the way through Mass Effect the first one. Mass Effect two I probably played in like two or three days, played through the whole thing and I have all but two of the achievements. What are you missing? Hit level 30 and my guys level 29 right now. And then to play through on insanity. So I basically just have to go through and it's that new aspect to DLC came out yesterday, right?

Yeah, I was playing it this morning, right before we started the podcast. It's costumes. No, no, no, there's the fire walker DLC as well. That's the free DLC, which allows you to get the hammerhead vehicle and it gives you five new missions. Oh, I did the fire walker DLC as well. That's the free DLC, which allows you to get the hammerhead vehicle and it gives you five new missions. Oh, I did the first mission. No achievements though. Not that I can see. Yeah, no achievements.

Well, you probably would help you with your leveling if you need that. It does for sure, and you get a lot of cash, at least from the first mission I did. Now, do you have to be, you say it's free DLC, but do you have to be part of the Cerberus Network to get that? I think so. That's how I found it. Right. Yes. But you have to abort the game new, or you, if you bought it used, you have to pay the ten bucks for the Cerberus network to get that. I think so. That's how I found it. Right. Yes. But you have to abort the game new or you if you bought it used you have to pay the ten bucks for the Cerberus network.

It's twelve hundred points. I think that's fifteen bucks. But if you bought the game new from a retail store that you're part of the Cerberus network. Okay. Well, see now look. This is where we run into that issue, right? I buy I buy it for my house. If there's more than one gamer tag in my house, who activates that code and gets that code. and I got lucky because I found out that if somebody else in the house gets the code Or buys the DLC then it just shows up in mine as well on that console

So but if you're on multiple consoles in multiple places it becomes kind of a pain in the ass I haven't had a problem like I'm I play at work at home and I have the service network of both So he's talking about multiple gamer tags. Yeah, so you'll pay the same gamer tag on both boxes I haven't had a problem like I'm I play at work at home and I have the service network of both so I'm talking about multiple gamer tags. Yeah, so you're paying the same game or tag on both boxes Yeah, but he's also saying that like as long if it's on a console any gamer tag can use it Yeah, but he like like oh is that true? Yeah, like if it was like my upstairs I have an elite up there and if it was downloaded on that box Then everyone who plays on that box

downloaded on that box, then everyone who plays on that box can play it. Everybody who puts a gamer card in there can play it. But like if I want to play downstairs, since I'm not the person who use the code, I can't use a downstairs and I have to pay 1200 bucks. But couldn't the person who use the code upstairs download it downstairs as well? The person could, yeah, but we bought the game for my house. You know, I mean the DLC came with the game. You know, it's kind of the, does that make sense what I'm saying? No, because like I thought if if anyone can do it couldn't the person who bought who has the code go downstairs. He can go anywhere use it I know and then couldn't you follow him and also play downstairs? No, no, because he has to be logged in the Xbox Live to verify to use the account. Hmm. Because if you if you it's tied to the Mac address or whatever the serial number for the box for the Xbox. So let's say Jeff and I live in the same house.

Hey, baby, what's up? Hey. And I buy DLC for the dishes. Thanks. I'll get right on that sweetie. I buy the DLC on our Elite, right? And then I walk over to our regular Xbox. I can read downloaded on the other Xbox, but on that other Xbox, I have to be logged

into Xbox Live to use that content. Does that make sense? I see. Yeah. So if I'm not home and I'm on my gamertag there to be logged into Xbox live to use that content Mm-hmm. I see yeah So if I'm not home and on my gamer tag there Jeff logs into the white Xbox He can't use it and that becomes confusing too because what if Jeff plays on the elite and makes a save Is his save valid on a box that does you have the DLC? But you don't have to be logged in and validated on the elite correct, okay? So he would always have to play mass effect on the elite. Right.

Confusing? Copyright issues usually are. Yes. But it becomes more confusing when now part of the full game is presented as DLC, which Mass Effect 2, it really was. Yeah, it really integrates it. Yeah. Because at Zayed, there's Zayed missions,

which is that mercenary character. He's part of the server's DLC. Although I do like the way Mass Effect does the DLC with that server's network and they just kind of add deals. Like you pay once to get on that network thing and they just keep adding DLC to it. Yeah, it's pretty cool. When I went into download the Firelocker DLC this morning, there were two other DLC packs that I wasn't aware of.

They're weapon packs, but still edge by. I think that's part of that project $10 that EA is trying to push. This is a bad company. Two also came with the VIP code. Nice feeling like when the DLC comes out next week, that it'll be the same way. It'll just show up if you entered the VIP code. That's what it is. It's free DLC if you're a member of the VIP. And that's just their way to make, you know, make to eat into use game sales. So hey, we got Paxies coming up this week. And we got an

Alamo showing next week. That's right, April 1st. Sold out. Which is sold out again. We're in the biggest theater. Yeah. So I guess if you're going to be, Maxi's to sold out too. So I hope you come see us.

I hope you already made plans to come see us. We're both locations to sold out. Do you know how big the big theater at South Lamar, Alamo, South Lamar is? No, I don't know. I want to say like 350. Wow, that's pretty cool, I think. Anything else we want to plug before we wrap up?

Just if you're making plans at PAX, we have now two very cool things to show. We're going to show the thing we talked about earlier in the podcast where we were out shooting outside yesterday. And then the first few episodes of Reversible. That one's definitely worth it just to see. Gus gets some well deserved comeuppance. And our panel is at 330 on Saturday at PAX East in the big theater. I forget what they call it

We might not have enough time for Q&A in this panel But you'll be showing too much stuff so we're gonna have to cut some of the stuff down Yeah, to have time for some audience interaction. Mm-hmm. That's it was a lot of fun. All right. Well, thanks for listening everyone. Tata. Bye. Bye. Describe the show to a newcomer in a more familiar way. Do you like apples? All right, example.
