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

Twisted metal, now only on peacock And Jeff our tea podcast theme song what would you think song? We should get uh the years of the best of hard drive I think so too. We should try to get oral boroughs was that I don't know how you actually say his name, but he's the dude who did the reconstruction mix, the deconstruction. Oh yeah, the construction. And yeah, we should definitely get him to take sound bites of stupid shit we say and come up with an actual theme for our podcast. He might be overwhelmed with stupid sound bites. Yeah, you're probably right. Hello everyone and welcome to the 45th annual Ristro Chief podcast Well, so the number got lower this week

Annual 45 years of podcasting experience, you know, we've learned a lot over the years in our career in podcasting journalism You know Paul Harvey taught me a lot about podcasting early on and really guided me to the right end of the day The obscure references start right away Heartbroken by his death son. Oh, not as heartbroken about the death of his wife. Okay, this is morbid, okay, this change is a little bit. Did his wife say too? How do you, they're old, dude.

She's a bad bitch. You know, all this is wife's dead, gang is con. I don't think he's ever married. Yeah, to a lot of women. Paul Harvey, speaking of Paul Harvey, who did the best impression of Paul Harvey Let's I'm a near it down for you make it easier on Saturday night live You would also be the only dude

I'm gonna guess Phil Hartman I'm alive you would be incorrect you get one guess Gus I'm gonna guess Phil Hartman you are correct It is Rich Hall from like fucking talk about you're right. Yeah, that's even more obscure than Paul Hardy No, Rich Hall also famous for being what guy the guy no one remembers He was the Snigglets guy He was the guy who wrote all those Snigglets books where they would he would come up with words for stuff that we didn't have words for Jesus was that him and those were called Snigglets that was Rich Hall and How how bad is it that he stopped making those books before the internet came around?

Yeah. Because we actually needed that once the internet came around. Yeah, but I actually was like a week and a half ago, they had, we started off on a tangent. That is awesome, by the way. Like straight to it, you know. The other week they had on Saturday and Live, they had a whole episode of Just Their Shorts.

Did you guys see that? No, I didn't see that. So it was obviously, it was hosted by Andy Sandberg, who's like the best thing that ever happened in a certain life. And it was all just the little short films they've done over the years, like going all the way back to like the John Belushi Little Chocolate Donuts one,

where he's the Olympian. And they had my favorite short of all time, which was Rich Hall, is a dude who's like sweeping up in a store and his boss is yelling at him. And he discovers that the mat that they put in front of the door that opens the door Now we have electric eyes, but back then they had those black mats on the floor and you'd step on it Yeah, and the doors to the grocery store would open Um, he moves it over by a cigarette machine to sweep under it and then a lady slimes into the door

And then he walks over and goes to pick it up But he steps on it and it opens up the cigarette machine the vending machine that's in front of So he discovers he can use this mat to open anything. And so he cuts the mat into the shape of his shoes and glues it to the bottom, the soles of his shoes, and he's like just walks around opening anything that he wants to. It's pretty funny. It's pretty funny. It really is, man. It's a great, it's probably my favorite thing I've ever saw seen on a, uh, uh, uh, CERN at Live, and it's a really obscure thing, and I was really, it was really happy to see it when it came on. It sounds almost as good as dick in a box

Okay, what shall we talk about today? Let's talk about some video game stuff I feel like I should issue an affordable apology to fall out three. Oh, let's talk about that first talk about video game stuff Yeah, last week I spent a lot of time making fun of fall out three for being boring and slow and Turns out I was completely wrong. It's a good game And I love it. What's what's really bizarre about that is you did a 180 immediately after we finished recording the podcast. Like it was as soon as we finished recording the podcast we put the game in. And you realize you had a game. I showed you how to shoot. Well I knew about the that I knew about the targeting system, but I didn't know you could

stack stuff up. And so it was really aggravating me that I had a cutscene for every shot. So for those people who played Fallout 3 Bernie was entering vats shooting once then executing his action instead of queuing up multiple Shots exactly right. I thought like you you know bring it up Once night for shot then you're out and you had to watch a cutscene every single time and you know This is a problem. I actually had here before because If you don't know something very fundamental about the game but necessarily isn't intuitive then it can really ruin the experience for you like Jeff played all of crack down

without even knowing that you could lock on to people. I don't know how the fuck you did that. I got really really good at aiming. You gotta be really fucking determined. You gotta really want to finish the game. I did that. That would be the equivalent of like getting all the way through a normal FPS like Halo or Doom or something like that It gets the last level you see someone else playing the game and you go what you could change weapons That's basically that moment like it's crack down you're jumping and flying all over the place And you have to you have to be able to lock on to people and it's just pulling the less trigger I'm not yet discovered by accident

You know I play because I we have small kids and so I was one night when I was playing crack I was playing on mute probably so I don't want to be too loud and like when you're playing on mute You don't pay attention to the shit that they're instructing you with and so I just missed that lesson I got a thousand points in that game without locking on Luckily it helped out a lot in the DLC There was really weird because for some reason I guess with the advent of the 316 the headset when you said you were playing it on mute I had a vision that you were playing it without talking mute mute applies the TV and it applies to your mic which is kind of strange now. Yeah, they need another word for the television not saying anything

Yes, where's the All right, so am I forgiven for making fun of all? No, no totally I knew you would come around Gus and I had it would Gus and I had a little side bed, actually. Yeah, I thought it would take a lot longer. I had actually put that game back in the game fly, and go on to send it off. Yeah, you brought it out to show Jeff. Yeah. And then which one you were playing here showing Jeff,

I was like, why aren't you shooting more than once? Why are you shooting more? But that system does get kind of old after a while. It really does. Yeah. Now, at the point of my character where I will just run through stuff and not even bring it up Like I'll just pull my shotgun out and just blaze through people. Yeah, definitely especially those zombies and ghouls and stuff like that But it's a really fun game probably the longest game I've played on the 360 and might be one of my favorites now on 360

It's a really good game. It really is a good game. Have you gotten into the DLC yet? I had to load the DLC because I hit my cap. I'm super anal too, which is why achievements appeal to me. Like, I have to get, you can pick skills and I had to pick lock picking because I can't stand getting a closed door. I can't stand like that I missed something behind a door that I couldn't get through. And then you have to remember where it was and try to backtrack down the road. Right. Yeah. And that can be a horrible thing or a horrible way to approach an RPG game because you can just spend all your time literally opening every Box every locker every desk every drawer and there's a lot of them in that so the bottom line is I have like 10 billion

Caps which are the money money system in that and I'm I hit level 20 which is the max level probably halfway through the game So I had gate get the DLC to remove that cap and let me go to 30. I wonder, Gustino, if they're going to raise the cap again with the two additional DLCs that they announced? I don't know. They really haven't announced much, many details about the new DLC song. I don't know. And can you really have any faith in what they announced further? What are DLCs going to do? You have faith in what the DLC is going to do. You just don't have faith that it's going to work. The date comes out. See this Nicholas

guy came with like what's the DLC for DLC? That fixes it. It's like DDLCP. Oh good, DLCP. The DLC patch. The thing that impressed me most about Fallout because I've never played it, but I've watched you play it a lot and I've watched Bernie go through the process as well of learning how to like it. And it seems like the biggest map in the world which I thought was just cause. Like I was blown away by how big the map and just cause was and then Fallout 3 was like seem to dwarf that. I read this morning that the fucking map for Fuel which comes out next week. What is fuel? Fuel is a racing game, like an open-world racing game like off-road shit It comes out on 360 I think next Tuesday

But it just got certified by the Guinness Book of World Records for having the largest playable map in history of any video game Thank you Guinness apparently it dwarfs like Grand Theft Auto How do they measure that? I've they had it like how many playable meters? Mixed playable meters yeah scale of the game. Yeah, a Gullitary oblivion map is supposed to be two or three times the size of fallout threes really. God damn Really? Yeah, three's tiny you get about it the um well, I would say wow is probably the biggest environment. I've encountered I don't know maybe feels bigger and they keep adding to it Maybe it's a console specific thing

I don't know but if you ask me like what's the biggest environment you said just cause I probably said crackdown Just like it felt big because it wasn't just a 2d level It was like you were all over that thing. I guess that's true if you get a consider the topography of the map and the interiors Just cost felt big to me because the entire thing was a jungle and so it's just like You just in jungle for days. We get in plain to go places. Yeah Well, you know, it's it something you don't consider to like I'm sure sure fuel Doesn't have any interior locations. No, I'm the racing game. Yeah. And that's what's crazy about crackdown. I was like, I guess maybe it's continuous or I don't know.

We'll see. It doesn't matter because I'm sure within like 10 years, there's going to be some company that what they do is they just map the real world for use in video games. Yeah. The entire world. Like, like, you'll have to update when you dig a hole in your yard. You'll have to notify them. I kind of had a weird experience like that when I was making videos for a 200 wool marine, which I've since wrapped up, but there's a level where you fight in a supermarket and the secret achievement to destroy everything

in the supermarket. You're fighting the blob and while you're fighting it, you're also trying to like, destroy all the cantaloupes and shit. And it was like, I felt like I was in, And it was like I felt like I was in I got confused I felt like I was in the dead rising supermarket. They looked so much alike really yeah, and there should be some sort of the supermarket standard For all video games You're like interior location standards like that, you know

It's really is that way in the real world when you show up in like Kansas City, Kansas Is that in Kansas or is it Missouri? It's in both. Yeah Well when you show up there and you go to like the suburban shopping mall It's exact same as every. Okay. Well, when you show up there and you go to like the suburban shopping mall, it's exact same as every suburban like outward shopping place. There's like two or three iterations. Right. They're all essentially the same.

You have, well, it used to be either a circuit city or a best spot. Yeah, the recession has made it a little less. Things are a bit bad back to beyond. Yeah. You have a bad back to beyond. You have a home depot or lows. A Ross or a TJ Maxx? Yeah.

That definitely on Orlinen. You have office depot or office max. You have circuit city or best by. That's fine. Yeah, and then you have the macaroni girl. And then regardless, you have a game stop. Absolutely. Monopoly. Yeah. So should look into that. You know, DLC, I was when I downloaded DLC, I was really thinking about it last night. Like I got Fallout 3 from Game Fly, right? Yeah. And that's not really that great a model because in Game Fly, if you don't know it's like Netflix where you can rent it. And that you can't that great a model because in a gamefly, if you don't know it's like Netflix where you can rent it.

And you can't just so you don't think this is like a paid advertisement. Gamefly kind of sucks in the sense that you can never get new games. But when you're like me and you're like three or four months behind, then it's great. And you can have these games you want to play. Like, and I was actually thinking when I stopped in to game, stopped the other day to buy punch out. We'll get to that in a minute.

I thought, you know what? I'm going to buy a copy of Fallout 3. And I bought a copy of Fallout 3 and I bought a copy of Fallout 3 I thought I played this game you know I should definitely reward the developer you know I've spent more than enough time playing this game to justify a $60 purchase of this game so I bought a copy right and then I went to download the DLC last night I spent 20 bucks on DLC and I was thinking damn you know what DLC could really fix that whole that's created for the industry by rental stuff yeah because you can't rent the DLC no matter what you do say I bought $20 for the DLC I wonder how much money Bethesda at the end of the day or the

publisher makes versus their $60 retail purchase it's got to be pretty favorable otherwise I don't think Bethesda would have pumped out and thought it was a five DLCs now for the game. Three so far, two in the two coming. The next two months. Well, I think Bethesda's one of those really cool developers, like Valve, where they just come. And they support it for a long period of time.

It helps when you have a super popular game. You know, you know, people are going to want to play it. I mean, we've seen a lot of things that were available on Arcade or heads of DLC where you could tell like they were gonna do tons of DLC. They put out the first one. They're like, yeah, maybe not, you know, maybe they got a lot less downloads than they expected. But yeah, it's, I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw the next 360 being just like, doesn't have a disc, disc trade all, you know? I'm ready for it. I'm ready for it too. I really am.

I'm not gonna see. Time Warner's not ready. Yeah, shit, time for time Warner. God, that's our local provider for internet here. And they're a blast, we love them. You know, I like DLC so much, the idea DLC, that even if I wasn't interested in Fallout because of watching you guys play it,

I would probably buy it just because I knew I could have five more like adventures down the road. Yeah. It's so excited that Grand Tafado teased new DLC just because I just liked that world so much. I'm so excited to get to go back into it. It's like 10 bucks to get to go back and play it again for other 10, 15 hours, whatever.

Yeah. It's really amazing how much, you know, how much more, you know, how much time you can spend playing Fallout 3 and then how much more time gets added on by the DLC. Yeah. It's such a bargain if you look at it, you know, how much time you can spend playing fall out three and then how much more time gets added on by the DLC. It's such a bargain if you look at it, you know, video games in general. Yeah. How much enjoyment you get out of the 40 or 50 or 60 dollars you pay for something. Well, a DLC like having being a lower priced add on, it really does fix that problem.

The consoles had two of like, why is Halo a $60 game on the Xbox and also Blade Witch is, you know, or Defender Force 2018 or something like that, you know, it's like, how are these games possibly in the same category, you know, and it's just like, now DLC fixes that. It's like, why I get new Halo maps for $20, you know, or I can get Dance Fight, Go Go, you know, over 60. I think I'm going to, I I think I'm gonna continue to support Halo. One of the things I don't understand is, why is Fallout 360 bucks in the 360 but $50 on the PC? Well, I mean, 360 games are just 60 bucks.

I mean, that's how much they cost. Why? I don't know why. Price plants up by Microsoft, all right? Yeah. I don't know why. Why is Team Fortress 2, youress 2 $20 on the PC? It's just, you know, they have a lot more flexibility for what they can do on the PC. I wonder if DLC is going to eventually, and I've got a long way to go, I'm sure, but if it'll eventually kill the trade in market too.

Because if you're like a 19 year old kid and you have a copy of Grant that Thotto or Fallout 3 and you trade it in, and then two months later they come out with another 20 hours of gameplay footage, you kind of fucked. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah. So I wonder if people are gonna start hanging on to the games Well, they're just to see hey, hey, look everybody. Sorry to interrupt you. It's Joel. Hi How are you doing, Joel? Joel's having Joel's fighting his computer today. I am I

Unbecoming a fan of Max and I don't even own one yet. I look at this podcast like the wow Mac podcast Like product placement. Yeah, it's just it's sometimes we fight Sometimes we fight some of our computers here. It's just like they go for a long period of time without being reformatted and you know, you just gotta do that every now and then. And there's just that weird thing that happens with computers where it's almost like a car.

They have so much mileage and then they just start to degrade like the hardware. It's like something slows that computer down. It's true and you won't get away from that on Macs too. Like I just had to reformat my Mac this week because my laptop just became slow and unusable. And just like, for no reason, you know, other than it's two years old.

And now it's like, after reformat, it's like it's brand new again. It's awesome. Yeah, it's like when they hit that wall, it really just starts. There's never going back. Jeff's laptop had gotten so slow he couldn't watch videos on YouTube.

Yeah, like, I couldn't watch our videos on our site. Like, when I had to proof stuff, it was a huge pain in the ass. That's it. And the good news is Joe in all of this is that when you do have a technical problem in this office, people are so helpful. They want to help you. They don't stay in behind you and laugh and go, well, it's this problem while you're working, right? You're trying to work and everyone's like, I don't know, whatever. That's weird. That's weird. That's the whole of them, one. That's weird. Yeah.

Guess you'll be the trick, like there was a particular error going on and immediately he diagnosed it and goes, oh, you have to unplug the computer for 30 seconds and then plug it back in. It's like, how did you come to that conclusion? Like, what was the process there? A lifetime of frustration. Well Jeff and Gus and I did tech support for, we don't even want to tell you how many years we did tech support.

And even when Gus went off and got a quote unquote real job, it was basically doing tech support. But in person. And so it's brutal. Like the other day I was in here trying to talk my dad through doing stuff on a mall laughing about that. You know, you just like dad, I'm just going to fly to, you know, North Carolina where you live because I think it'd be shorter and I'm going to throw your computer out your window.

That's what I'm going to do. You know, but the great thing to about this office is that not only are people not helpful when it comes to helping you with your technical problems, they will create them for you. Like, there was talk of you using Jeff's computer next week and Jeff immediately said, yeah, not break my computer. So a single beat of sweat. Yeah, he said, don't hold on the computer. Don't hold on my computer. I went away for a week for, I don't remember where I was, but I came back and my computer, the intensity didn't work, the computer didn't work, Gus had to reform that twice. Yeah, we had to physically recede the intensity card three times

We you and I both know you're in big trouble. I know it's not you know There's gonna be problems. It's what kind of property gonna be and what was match response to that? That's weird So for the spot cat I pointed something out to you. Yes You remember this and it was my desk is here in the corner on the left side of the room And on the right side of the room is another desk and my microphone was over there Yes, right, which is normally just sitting on my desk waiting and set up ready to go. Uh-huh So my microphone was over there and my XLR cable was gone just nowhere to be found, okay, and

So I'm in here going who who changed my set up here? Who moved my microphone and who took my cord and then I found the cord finally is behind the door and and who took my cord. And then I found the cord, finally, it was behind the door. And I, in a mac came in and Mac goes, oh, I was testing some stuff. And I go, you were testing stuff on my computer? What were you testing?

He goes, you know, I was just had some stuff. And I was like, I moved some stuff around. I go, what were you doing? What did you move? And, you know, where's the XLR cable? And he goes, I was just testing, I was just, what I did was I was testing stuff and I put some stuff here,

and I had to move this over there No explanation Round a lot of talking no explanation just dismantled my stuff. That was it. I know I know it was testing I know it was testing. We were actually testing it together. We were seeing how long we give to you crack It's gonna work in your sanity. I've actually I've actually thought like after a couple times of math fucking out my stuff I was just gonna remove all the chords from the back of his computer I just like throw them in the closet and you're like, my computer's working. I just go that's weird man That's a really weird house. I don't know. Hey, I don't want to get up on a tangent

But I have a question. We haven't been on topic the whole podcast. What is the topic of today? We talked about fallout. We're gonna talk about punch out eventually. Yeah. Yeah, no really this is talked about fallout. We're going to talk about punch out eventually. Yeah. Yeah. No, not really. This is yeah. Yeah. There you go. I thought that we came up with the term and by we, I just mean the group, what one of us came over the term, the meat sweats from going to this particular barbecue restaurant in Lockhart, Texas and eating so much that you sweat greasy meat residue, right? Yeah. And it's sick. I read an article on CNN this morning about a guy whose life mission is to find the perfect barbecue in America and he's been out to like 168 different restaurants. Kreitz is his second favorite restaurant, but he said specifically that he gets the meat sweats when he eats there.

Really? So I want- I'm not a Kreitz, I'm not a Kreitz, you used to be. He was by that. He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the-

He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the- He was by the-�- He was by the- You know the name, but he even said it in he said it in the art of crisis in reference to crisis Yeah, it was weird. So I wonder if it was on the wall there or something and we just don't realize it or I don't know idea. I never heard anybody else say the term. I figured it was us But what's the first favorite place of crisis is well? He had he didn't say like it wasn't like number one and two It was like your two or three favorite places one was in I want to say North Carolina and then Criz's was his favorite in Texas. I don't know who actually listens to this podcast, but a lot of people came into town like a lot of interactive. He came down for South by Southwest and they all went to the Salt Lake. If you ever come to

Austin, you've got to go 20 minutes out of town to go to this place. Criz's in Lockhart. It's freaking amazing. Well everyone goes to the Salt Lake's also like 20 minutes out of town, but everyone goes there because they have like, I don't know, they have good PR or something. Everyone knows about the Salt Lake. Well, the nice thing about Salt Lake is it's BYUB and it's like next to a little like river and it's really picture-esque and there's trees and a river. Fuck that.

Oh, let's import it. Right down the hill, there's like a little creek. I live five miles from the Salt Lake for, I'm telling you, there's no river. I'm telling you it's there I walked down to it there's like a little creek behind it but it might be unearned creek run into that yeah it's really pretty and they have great blackberry cobbler and they be Ioby and they have be a bit as a dry county or was a dry district what the thing Salt Lake does have is all you can

eat family style yeah so if you want volume sure knock it out of the park you got quality but you know the crisis this is a very recent. They were talking about Austin barbecue And if you're just gonna eat barbecue you go to rubies. Rudy's great cuz Rudy's great go to crisis though But go to crisis that's an experience So if you ever come in town next time you come in town to Austin for South by Southwest Interactive or something like that Definitely go to crisis on car Texas. Tell me X can Elvis. We said hi. Yeah, it's called it's called K. R. E. U. Z Don't let anybody down there tricky to go in the blacks instead. There's like a local Oh, and after you're done eating where we cut crisis you have to have the blue bell ice cream sandwich to top it off

It you have to yeah breaks the meat. Yeah breaks the meat. So it settles the tummy and you've got to drink big red Anybody want to get a lunch lunch? Can I do now? We just made the most geographically specific podcast ever. I think there's 800 people in that town. And it's a town where they film wedding for government. It's like being in a movie set. I think there's 800 people that have seen that movie. Well, I mean, it's crazy that Lockhart's population is that small because Kreitz's

can see probably about 200 people. Do you know who the crazy that Lockhart's population is that small because Kreitz's can seat probably about 200 people Do you know who the mayor of Lockhart is? No, Rich Hall Alright, so what else do we need to talk about punch out? Well, you want to talk about punch out So Bernie brought punch out into the office yesterday. And and your balance board. So we could try it out. Do you know why I bought punch out? Because of Tyco's Twitter of it, I assume, or right up on Pinyarcade. Exactly right. He said about punch out Tyco from Pinyarcade said that

I think it was recording somebody actually, but he basically said that punch out does not play like the old punch out. It plays like you remember the old punch out plays, which I thought was, I mean, those are those, that's high praise, you know, from that guy. And so we went out and bought punch out specifically because of that statement. And then what happens is we put it in and we play it. And first of all, it well, first we tried play it took, it took, it took Bernie and I 20 minutes to figure out how to think our balance board up with the Wii here in the office. And we had to replace all the batteries.

And we had, because the Wii just, it was really funny because I said, hey, let's buy a punch out for the office. And somebody said, well, who's got a Wii? And I said, we have a Wii. We have a Wii at the office. And everyone's a general consensus. So as we have a Wii here, it was behind the TV on the floor Falling off the console. I had like untangled the sensor bar and everything that we've had for probably a year and a half

How much play time do you think we had a longer? We've had a system office in beauty, I think No, no, I got it for here. We've had a we around, but yeah, oh, no, that's right. Yeah, it was here Yeah, we've had at least a year and a half though. Like I was playing it with Boone Ben with you last summer, we were playing bowling at one point. That's right, yeah. But would you say the thing has five hours of gameplay? Not even, either.

Grant told them maybe two hours of gameplay. Yeah. So it takes longer to set it up than actually. We got to change batteries. Yeah. And there's a really dumb thing about the Wii, which I have to point out, which, I mean, I obviously offended the 360, but you can't deny that the 360 has great design and granted has some pretty poor engineering which you know has some problems with faulty

but the design of the thing is awesome like the way this controller sink and all that stuff on a Wii when you sink one year ones to the console that one stays that player like when you turn on a controller for the 360, the first one that comes on is player one. The second one that comes on is player two. The weed doesn't work that way. They're hard synced. So if you pick up your number two controller,

or your number three controller, it says, nope, you can't play this game with this because you need your number one controller. So you have to figure out which one is your number one controller. What happens if you lose that controller? What happens if they're all dead with batteries? You have to switch batteries in every single one and do it. That's a treasure. This is what we one controller. What happens if you lose that controller? What happens if they're all dead with batteries? You have to switch batteries in every single one and do it. That's a treasure.

This is what we did yesterday. We're throwing batteries into all the different weed controllers trying to figure out which one is player one. Very annoying. Anyway, so we put it in, we play it, we're punching away, and it was just... I think we made a mistake in trying to play it by flailing our arms using the balance board.

Because you mean by playing it like a wee game? Right by playing it like a wee game. I think that was the real mistake. Once I sat down with just the wee mode and just like played it like, you know, like old NES style, it was all right. Yeah, I did that this morning. I mean, I don't know. I mean, I saw you guys playing at Bernie with standing on the balance board and I

to I couldn't notice any discernible what the ballot how you're just standing on it. Does it does it affect game play? I think when you saw we hadn't didn't have it enabled for my profile at that point You can you can lean sight to sight to dodge punches Does work? Yes, the balance board is awesome and the long controls are great You know what I mean? It's like they really do they're really cool I think the one stuff gets a little bit old after a while

But like the bowling stuff on the Wii a lot of fun We fit with that balance board. That balance board works really well. I'm really impressed by it. But the fact that it's still just, I mean, it's a composite video game, you know, it's not high depth. It's standard death. That really starts to show up at this point. Yeah, it looked pretty terrible on that HD TV. Like that would be punch out this big release for the Wii would be a DLC game for Sony or for the Xbox 360 I mean it was just You said it best when you said yesterday that it looks just like a flash game

It looks like a flash game now because I did cel shaded stuff and when you see cel cel shaded done well like you know team Fortress 2 Has that kind of cel shaded look to. And then this was just like, even the cinematics for the boxers were just still frames, like art still frames. It doesn't look like, it doesn't feel like a full game at all, you know, and it was fun enough to play for about an hour and then walk away. There's no replay value. How far did I get? I beat piston Honda? Beat piston Honda and then we quit. Then I got to some guy bear hugger and then I didn't know who that was. I turned it off. Get to the red next

area type and then the experience. The experience to me was about the equivalent of someone here bringing in an old Nintendo system and us actually playing punch out. Yes. It was about the same. Yes. I would have been like, oh, this is fun. Dodge punch, Dodge punch. And then I would have played about three guys on it. And I was said, you know, I'm not gonna play this anymore. Yeah, I've already played this exactly it. Yeah, probably about the same way So hopefully something will come out soon. So we yeah, what is the big thing on the we what is the I think we fit Is still the big game for the we right now? We sports is sports. Yeah seems like not the video game market Look, yeah, we the we is the one that feels to me While it is the most popular it does feel like the one that feels to me while it is the most popular

It does feel like the one that is just a really advanced toy, you know Which is how most people feel about video games anyway the general public feels that way and the week kind of fits into that category I don't think of a PlayStation 3 or 360 is being a toy, you know, it's a And the game console it makes feelings about periphery stuff as well like more Plasticity stuff with chords and batteries and more upkeep and stuff. It's really of kids. It makes feelings about periphery stuff as well, like more of a classicy stuff with chords and batteries and more upkeep and stuff. It's really of kids, it's like,

do I want all that stuff? Because it's just gonna turn to something, I'm gonna twist my ankle on. That's a, that technology's all driven by the powerful battery lobbyists. That's right. Yeah, I mean, I hit the same feeling when a guitar hero world tour came out.

I was like, do I really need a second set of fake video game drums No, I already have I already have one and that's one too many takes up some square footage Yeah, you know, are you gonna buy the special rock band beetle guitars? No, no, I've already got I've already got guitars I've already got drums. I don't need to buy that shit. No, I've got like seven guitars. You don't want to get the special No, no, no, well, you don't have a we do Jeff. I don't have a we I don't have a PS3 I just have an Xbox. I'm solely a Microsoft gamer now. I live a DS. I have DS light out like a lot But yeah, well, you play well. I play the shit out of well. Yeah, that's true No, and you you have you have pretty much everything. Yeah, I do have everything. You have PS3 have a we have we fit

Yeah, like I remember I bought you we think I was in the store and I called you right right Yeah, like we're every after launch that hey, they have some do you want one because the Nintendo does that well they definitely get you in that mode of oh I see it I'm gonna buy it because I might not have the chance to later But that's not a case anymore because now even their DSi That was never out of stock like you could pretty much get that from launch my wife wants one of those but I cannot can't justify Yeah, I can't figure out why the fuck anyway what would want that would you get her recently for a flip camera that she lost in less than a week she lost that she

lost it less than a week I thought I was gonna divorce her was that new flip HD right there's the he has a new flip it she luckily I found it and she took she took credit for me finding it or she's trying to take credit for me finding it or she's trying to take credit for me finding it Man, like I got it for her for a birthday gift and like it's totally unexpected and literally five days after I gave it to her It was she was crying looking for it all around the house. It wasn't there when you found a phone There's like a bunch of pictures on the phone of like all the adventures the phone You know, I saw I saw a webpage where a guy has hooked a digital camera up to his cat's neck and you can actually buy these things.

What a great idea. And you can see where the cat goes in the day and what it does. I always want to know what the hell my cat does. That's fascinating. Yeah. Although it's kind of funny because you know how cats are so funny on the internet. Real cats, not that interesting. A lot of bushes, a lot of sit around and storm drains stuff.

Yeah. interesting. A lot of bushes, a lot of sit around in like storm train stuff. Yeah, I like the cinematic version of cats better than the actual reality. The photographs better than the. Yeah. Well, they're off. They can't always be on. They're going to have some downtime to come up with new materials. Because they're thinking about their next bit. It's like the working on a new material for the next show. Yeah, but my flip, I've been happy with it. And if I lost a video camera or something like that, I can't tell you, I'm a weirdo when it comes to data stuff.

I would just be absolutely convinced that something was on that video camera that shouldn't be on there. Like even like an NDA thing or, you know, my horrible second half. Yeah. That's what I like the iPhone. Well, my iPhone has that cool feature that I was talking about where you can set your pin code into it and

That unlocked your phone and then there's a little setting in it where if you get your pin code wrong 10 times a row it wipes your phone That's fantastic. I love it. Everything should have that. Yeah, I agree laptop should have that if you get your laptop wrong, you know You know that there's your scares the crap out of format. There's USB keys You can purchase like USB thumb drives, like a thing they call them iron keys or something. And you can get all your data off of it, but in order to get your data off, you need to enter a password.

If you fail your password check three times, I don't know what happens, but the device physically destroys itself on the inside. So it's beyond a level of, like your data's gone and then destroyed, like physically destroyed on top of that. And the example of why that's a good thing, Joel. I just read or listened to NPR this morning and there was a story about some lady in New

Zealand who was bidding on like some bullshit on eBay. I think it was like a plate or something. And she went to bed and her three year old daughter got up and got on the computer and somehow bought a $12,000 tractor. She woke up the next morning. She had won a bid for a $12,000 tractor. Awesome. Yeah. That's really awesome. $12,000 tractor show up the next morning she had won a bid for a $12,000 tractor awesome

That's really awesome. I've got I've got like my Kindle app on my iPhone setup with like one touch buying Somebody stole my phone they could go this guy's about to buy a 5,000 book You're about to be educated motherfuckers You make an excellent point. Yeah, an excellent point. Well, usually the companies are very forgiving of that kind of thing too. Yeah, sure. Like, I remember all the idiots who accidentally bought the $1,000 iPhone app? Yeah, right.

I didn't know. It was a mistake. Give me a break. Yeah, you know, you used to make fun of me. I was the only person in the office who would like lock my computer and be serious about that. It felt like you were doing that because of us though. Yeah, it was always dumb, you know? Well, that's true too. Like I'm sure if you don't have a desktop, you're the only guy who has basically still laptop. I'm the only guy who has to

buy his own computer for the office. What does that mean? It means what it means? I seem to think that you have somewhere about three miles from here, a whole cabinet full of computers for your job. You've got like fucking five servers in our server room right now. Yeah, I'm giving you all the script. That's not mine. That's our year. Didn't we just buy you some kind of like, slide out drawer monitors?

Yeah, mission impossible. It's a good thing we got that too because they got rid of the monitor and and keyboard at the Cola. Yeah Gus has like like that thing is by the way the coolest thing ever that thing is the coolest thing We need to like write a script or something just based around that little Friday thing with the keyboard the monitor It's in his cabinet He didn't want to haul like a little monitor down there have a monitor in the cabinet There's no space for a monitor in there, but there's one at the Cola They had no there's that there was one so Gus ordered this thing that's like it fits in a server and it's like a drawer that pulls out an unfolds

And he doesn't make a transformer noise Or do you make that noise and he's got a little keyboard this thing there and awesome and all the other tech guys in the co-location facility walk by and they go Gus had a moment with like a guy we used to work with where he came by and looked in a rack and saw Gus's equipment He's like you can have a lot of stuff and I can tell it was very proud Gus nerd moment. It is so if only there was a word for that If only Rich Hall had retired we can have a word for nerd pride. All right, anything else we need to talk about Kind of ramble this time. Yeah, we did what is a Terminator coming out this weekend, right? Terminators coming out this weekend.

Anybody planning on seeing it? And bad early buzz. I think I'm gonna go watch Star Trek again this weekend. That sounds like a great idea. Guaranteed home run there. Hey, you think I can take a seven-year-old kid to go see Star Trek? Yeah, I think so.

I think so too. It seemed like I couldn't when it first came out, but now it seems like I can. I can't remember anything really bad. But he's a lot more return now. The pinchy insect, they stick in pikes. Oh, that's pretty bad. That's good call. I'll cover his anything really bad. There's a lot more return now. The Pinchy insect, they stick in pikes. Oh, that's pretty bad. That's good call.

I'll cover his eyes for that. And that just lasts for a long time. Never go back to it again. Yeah. Good call though. Or just when it happens, just say he didn't need his peas at dinner. That's what happens. You know what I mean?

But by the way, there's a Pinchy Bug in Star Trek. It's always a Pinchy Bug in Star Trek. Yeah, that's given. You should go see it. If you haven't seen it by now, you're a bad person. All right. Should we also make something else coming up this weekend? Star Trek. It's always a pinchy bug in Star Trek. Yeah, that's given. You should go see it. If you haven't seen it by now, you're a bad person. All right. Should we also mention something else is coming out this weekend?

What else is coming out this weekend? What else is coming out of Monday? Should we talk about that? No. No. Let's leave it for next time, right? Yeah, next time. Something's coming out of Monday.
