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 a new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal,
a high-octane 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 Arnet, and Thomas Hayden Church,
twisted metal, streaming now, only on peacock. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, It's the drum tang so shut up and sit down.
Hey everyone, shut up and sit down.
I love it.
I was sure we were going to use that theme song till the very end.
Shut up and sit down.
He sold me on it.
I like it.
It sounded like one of our younger listeners maybe.
Yeah.
What's up, man?
It's a little lonely today.
It's a little quiet in the office, I guess.
It's just Gus and Jack.
Me and Jack today.
Yes, Gus and I. Gus, yeah. Jack and I. Yeah, I guess everyone on the seat, Jeff is out of town.
Everyone's either out of town for work or out filming a short. Yeah, you know,
that's great that everyone decided to film a short on the day we do the podcast
and to everyone that I normally use. We've only been having the podcast for over a year
on Wednesdays. Yeah, I could see why people would
forget and skate a lot of the stuff. Matt. How's that not like printed on to the calendar already?
Yeah, I mean, he was like, Matt was like, Hey, can you be in this short? Can you do the character with
the second most lines? I was like, No, I've got to do the podcast. He's like, all day.
But it's like a trickle down effect because I got cracked down two yesterday and I'm trying to put
together this map for launch. And it's's like you use my computer to record the podcast
So I'm like I have to wait for you to finish the podcast and you have to wait for them to have an extra
I guess yeah, I've been sitting here for over an hour waiting to start the podcast hoping someone else would be available or something and nope
Yeah, mean one other's orbs out there to be collected you know
Yeah, I'm I wanted to get through the podcast as quick as possible,
so I could watch you play Crackdown 2,
or possibly get my hands on it also.
Oh, man.
Play it for a bit.
Yeah, it's a little bit, I played so far, man.
It's crazy addicting.
So, you know, I don't know much about Crackdown 2.
I guess I wasn't following like two.
I was trying to do what I, you know,
when a game comes out that I like,
I try not to follow it too closely, so that I'm kind of still pleasantly surprised.
Yeah. What's the deal with like the zombies or monsters? Well, honestly, I never beat crackdown one, but apparently the, they're called freaks.
And apparently they were in the first game. And now I guess there's just sort of a mutant outbreak all over the city.
And so you're a new agent, whatever you've been cloned. And your job is to fight not only the freaks that come out at night, but also this group called the cell, which is like the bad guys in the game.
So it's like you have these two competing things. And I'm assuming it's going to lead to some sort of boss battle. Remember the first game, it was like all about like clicking bad guys. Right. Like there were different clans you would fight essentially. And then they would have a boss. Yeah, I mean, I'm maybe, I would say, 20% into the game right now and it's kind of,
I'm still sort of getting the plot of it, but yeah, so far it's been a lot of fun.
I don't remember the freaks from Crackdown 1, but I played that game so long ago.
It's, I probably forgot about him.
I never got close to beating Crackdown 1.
I actually almost picked it up and then I got distracted with something else.
I think just getting a little annoyed, I wish he was here to defend himself,
but I saw him playing the crackdown two demo the other day
and get on marketplace.
And I was like, oh, look at you, you're locking on to people.
And he was like, why the fuck is that the place
to everyone says, what the fuck do people not forget about that?
Oh, yeah, man.
So we got to make sure we don't let him forget
and get the left trigger going.
And we remember that he doesn't remember
how to have a lock on the stuff. Yeah, that crackdown two demos. Cool though, because you could get achievements in the demo that
then unlocked when you played the game. And actually, I'm going to cut a video showing how it works
that hopefully, I don't know if I can put out videos early. I've got to look at our deal we've
got with Microsoft right now, but it's neat literally to start the game up and is just like,
boom, 10 achievements for 100 game or score. That's cool. Immediately. So that was kind of cool.
10 achievements, man.
I don't think I've ever seen,
I've seen like two or three achievements
that pop up at a time when I've seen.
I think there was like,
there was a glitch and I think in skate or skate too,
where you get all but one of the achievements
like in like a one shot.
I don't know how people did it,
but I've seen the YouTube videos of that happening.
So it sounds like a quality title.
No, it's actually really fun title.
Just some wig glitch someone found.
Yeah, I know.
You get people, you know, you can test something forever,
and then you put that put it out in the wild,
and let people mess around with it,
and they'll find ways to break it,
oh absolutely.
Variable.
So have you played transfer mice yet?
No, you keep talking about it,
and I think I saw it'm dig also. Oh my god
So a friend of mine sent me this game originally it was like they only had one server and it was a French server
And then I guess they made an English server now. There's two English servers and a German server in the original French
And it's the most addicting game ever dude like it's it's super simple little
Literally all you do is you're a little mouse and you move around you collect cheese
And then you go into a hole and that's it and you sounds riveting it sounds boring as hell
But something about it, man
It's like this it's crazy
Massively multiplayer to the point where I wrote a journal about it and I said everyone go to this one room
I said go to go to room taco and I was for some reason I made that up and we had had 89 people playing as mice in my little room, and it was chaos.
Did you all manage to get the cheese?
Uh, but it depends on the level.
Like every level is different.
So like some levels, gravity is sort of lowered, so you can jump really high, and then some
levels, like most levels you pass through, the people you're playing with, but some levels
everyone is like, you can jump on top of people. So when you spawn with 80 people, it just kind of explodes and mice and people go flying everywhere.
And so browser-based game, right?
Yeah, it's all browser-based.
And I don't know what it is, man, but I'd love to hell out of the game.
Oh, maybe I'll take a look at it.
I think Griffin actually played it a little bit.
Someone told me she was on there at one point, so.
I kind of imagine why she didn't bring it up.
We were hoping to get her in here today.
She got a little delay. She may still sneak in apparently. We'll see if they finish out there.
So the whole point is just to grab cheese. Yes, there's one thing of cheese and you grab the cheese
and then you have to get back to a hole. And then like are you competing with everyone else that's
in the game? Yeah, what it is, it's like whoever gets the cheese first gets more points and the more points you get the higher up on the leaderboard
You go and then whoever's on top of the leaderboard becomes the shaman mice
The shaman mouse to whoever and the shaman mouse can actually create and control things
And so you feel like rely on the shaman to help you get to the cheese or get to the exit
Why would the shaman help you? Why is it the shaman trying to get the cheese for himself?
Well, the shaman can't get the cheese until all the other mice have their cheese.
They have to be the last.
So, it's like you have to build bridges or you have to build like walkways for the mice
to collect the cheese and then go away.
I hear noises.
Can you silence that?
I think Grisha left her phone in here and it's going crazy.
I feel bad going through her purse.
It should be around the top.
If there's any food in there, grab me some. Actually, there's some, I think, nuts or something. the it's a
there's

there's

there's a
there's a there's a there's a there delayed? Oh shit, hold on. What's that? If we got delayed till September 28th
That's after reach comes out. No, no, the week after reach comes out, isn't it? No, uh reach comes out
13 through 12 or something. Oh shit, man. That's that doesn't bow to well. What would they do that? I don't know
Let's see here. I get the feeling that
Dead Rising 2 may be overlooked for a little while. I want it. I want to say it reached comes out the 14th. I could be wrong
No, it makes sense. Yeah, you the 14th or the 7th
Man, I played that case 0 at one of those E3 parties. We went to that was cool
That's the the prequel game
It's it's basically the demo for crack the earth for crack down to for dead rising 2
That it leads up to what actually
happens in that rising to but it explains all the controls and sort of sets sort of the
plot in motion that will then the game will pick up on.
Do you play as Frank West or do you play as Chuck Green?
You play as Chuck Green.
I think that's his name.
I think that sounds right.
Yeah and so apparently in the game you have a motorcycle like in Dead Rising 2 you have
a motorcycle like the case 0 which is the prequel you actually you're building that motorcycle
So it was fun though like I didn't play Dead Rising at all and in a long damn time and then I picked that up and I was like
Oh, yeah, this is feels exactly like Dead Rising
It was fun. I guess I'll I may go back and replay the original Dead Rising before Dead Rising 2 comes out
It's available. It's available in the games on demand.
Yeah, I think I still have my discs somewhere though.
I'll see if I can find it.
I don't know when I'm going to get around to playing that with Reach coming out.
I probably won't play that until holiday to November.
That's the case, man.
It always happens.
There's good game, stack on top of good games, stack on top of good games.
Before you look up, you're like, wait a minute.
It's, huh?
Oh crap. to stack on top of good games. Yeah. Before you look up, you're like, wait a minute, it's, huh?
Oh crap.
So, like I know, what was the last year?
There were like three games that were right on top
of each of the last year.
It was like, there was a sassons creed.
Was it left for dead two?
Left for dead two, and then something that
modern warfare two?
Probably.
Yeah, modern warfare two.
Yeah.
We were all like in that little time frame together.
God, it's so annoying.
You just kind of wish like every game had two weeks and then you could move on to the next
game, but nope.
Yeah, like I feel bad this week.
I'm, you know, I'm sort of ignoring Lego Harry Potter and Singularity so I can play
some crackdown too early, but then I guess I can go back and pick up.
Yeah, but that never works out because there's always new games coming out.
You never get back to the old stuff.
Man, it's the worst. Yeah, that happens. That out because there's always new games coming out you'll never get back to the old stuff Man, it's the worst
That happens that happens to me a lot. I hope people enjoy this map. I'm making there's I
Think there's over 900 hidden items in this game. So how many is it?
500 agility orbs right 500 agility orbs 300 hidden orbs. I want to say 50 renegade
Agility orbs 30 renegade driving orbs.
There are stunt rings, I think there's 30 or 40 stunt rings and there's like another
20 or 30 flying rings.
Or like you apparently get a gliding suit I haven't got yet that you actually glide through
stuff and there's like 30 of those.
There's online co-op rings or orbs that you have to get with a partner online.
You're like, are they not there unless you're playing co-op?
They show up but it's like, sorry, you can't get this.
Oh, shit, like if you're solo, it's a no-go.
And one thing I like about Crackdown too is
every time you get an achievement that narrator dude,
he calls it out.
He's like, oh, you got your first orb, that's an achievement.
And then like as it pops.
That's funny, the guy's got a good voice.
He got a good thing going with that guy. Yeah. Yeah. He's a good narrator for the game. So him and like I don't
typically think about those narrators too much but he like him and the guy who does the the
Halo 3. Oh yeah stuff. I definitely stand out in my mind. All the Halo stuff really. Or was he in
here? Yeah. The hell of a Halo stuff. So I don't know why it's just said Halo 3. I got a
Halo 3 on the brain. Was he was he in ODSD?, he wasn't. Oh, you see wasn't it? Yeah,
firefight. Yeah, firefight. And firefight 2 you excited for that? Yeah,
I'm excited. I'm excited all around for each. Yeah,
firefighter. I'm excited for the reach around. Wait,
what?
The firefight 2 I like firefight 2 because the mode we had set up at the
the party out knee 3 was it was unlimited lives, but it was like we
had to defeat everyone by a certain time limit. That was cool because you know it can be a little
bit more aggressive as opposed like hiding behind a wall. It's like picking off a jackal every now
and then. Yeah, so hiding was the worst. God. Like when you when your health started depleting and
you couldn't get it back up, that's bad. Yeah, well I'm looking forward to it. Again that's a game I've know a bit
about but I've been avoiding as well. What? Reach? Yeah, reach. I played the
beta and I know I know fire fights there. I don't know I know they have a trailer
for it. I've seen the trailer. I'm trying to avoid. You haven't seen the trailer.
Yeah I'm trying to avoid seeing anything about it. That's funny. I guess I have
to link jump it now which means I'm gonna watch it when I do that. Also I'll
see the link. You can just you know copy paste. Yeah I know I know where it is but like every time I push into the link jump I'm like oh it when I do that. I'll send you the link. You can just copy paste.
Yeah, I know where it is.
But every time I put something in the link, I'm like,
oh, I should watch this.
That's why I've been very blessed.
That's why I've been able to go to the podcast and
it's up to you in a while.
I'm like, oh, I should watch this.
I should watch this.
Like, everything that we end up talking about.
Yeah, we actually record the podcast on Monday.
And the next two days we spend Gus watching trailer.
Yeah, it's me on YouTube and break.
And I film babes.
Man, okay, let's talk about what you got in your laptop there.
Yeah, I was gonna say, you know,
speaking of games that are coming out here pretty soon,
you know, Starcraft II comes out next month,
I think it's July 27th.
It's right after Comic Con, which I think is great,
because I'm gonna go to Comic Con,
I'm gonna, you know, get burned out for a week,
working straight, then I'm gonna, you know,
come back to Austin, take a couple days off,
I just play Starcraft II nonstop.
But I guess Korea Air painted two of their 747s
with a Starcraft II paint themes or paint schemes.
Yeah, I don't have any.
And I guess they also changed their menu
to serve like Starcraft themed stuff.
Like they have mineral probe soup soup with seaweed with seared
interceptor and carrier oil. Sistorm, dried zergling and
bain-ling cheese, basil pesto, arugula and balsamic reduction.
You think like some Korean executive who knows nothing about video games?
It gets in first class of that plane. Excuse me, something's wrong with your menu.
The menu seems to be misprinted.
And there's a giant alien on the outside of the plane.
See, make fun of me for like in the Shamu plane.
It's stupid, dude.
I'm not saying that it's cool.
I'm saying it's retarded.
I mean, how much money does it take to pay a fucking plane?
God, that's ridiculous.
So who paid for that?
Would that be Blizzard paid for that? I don't know. Blizzard paid for it, or if it's a fucking plane? God, that's ridiculous. So who paid for that? Would that be Blizzard paid for that?
I don't know, Blizzard paid for it or it's a promotional thing that Korean air does?
Man.
Yeah, I don't know.
I assume Blizzard has to pay them to do it.
But I'm sure they're happy to do it.
You know, people in Korea love Starcraft so much.
I guess so, man.
And then going off of our Korean talk, did you see the other day that I guess North Korea is
Demanding that the US pay it like 65 trillion dollars?
What for what for six decades of hostility?
Apparently we owe North Korea 65 trillion dollars. That sounds about right. Yeah
Man, I watched an always sunny and Philadelphia episode last night since Jeff's right here. I can talk about it
awesome Man, I watched an always sunny and Philadelphia episode last night. Since Jeff's right here, I can talk about it. Awesome.
The one about the Korean bar down the street.
I'm missing it.
Oh, okay.
Well, there's a Kim Jong-il look alike who owns the bar.
You know, who does a good Kim Jong-il?
Amy Polar looked, she used to do Kim Jong-il every now and then.
No, she did a pretty good job.
She looked like him to me.
It was Amy Polar, right?
Yeah, I think it was.
Amy Polar, who went on to do Hillary Clinton
She was even better at Hillary Clinton trim trung. You know the bit with Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin
When I was Tina Fey is Sarah Palin the two of them were talking to podium
Oh, yeah, it's one of my favorite political skits of that year. That's a good one
I feel like that a lot of water. They did they did a lot of political stuff
Well, I mean in a way dude when you know when
Sarah Palin looks exactly like your head writer of a comedy show I mean that's how how do you
miss that I mean that's that's perfect and they they pretty much knocked it out of the park every night
yeah man you you didn't get a knife one for right I did not I got to wait till January I do and
even then so I'm like I fall in this weird period because I got the they until January, too. And even then, so I fall in this weird period
because I got to, they gave me the six months
or whatever we could get in advance, whatever.
I got my 3GS last July, so really it comes to January,
which is gonna fall right between a Dev cycle,
right between a other cycle.
So I'm like, do I get it in January or wait till
next June or whatever they put out the next one?
Because the next one, hopefully this antenna problem which people have been bitching about but it's a legit problem
My friend showed me yesterday his iPhone and he made it lose reception by just grabbing the bottom of it
Yeah, apparently, I mean I understand that it's a problem
But I hear that it happens to a lot of phones apparently you can do it with a 3gs also. Oh really?
Yeah, I think the iPhone 4 it's like the lower is it the lower right corner?
It's if you're looking at the face of it is the lower left corner. Okay, well then lower, is it the lower right corner? It's if you're looking at the face of it, it's the lower left corner.
Okay, well then the 3GS is the lower right corner.
Oh, that's great.
See, I use my left hand to hold my phone, so I don't touch that lower right corner.
And apparently, like a lot of other cell phone manufacturers have a similar problem.
I guess Nokia called out Apple for it, you know, trying to talk shit about them.
And in response, a bunch of people posted pictures of their Nokia phones having the exact same problem.
Well, if you get a case, though, it fixes the problem, right?
Like, supposedly, or like adds a buffer or something.
You shouldn't have to do that, though.
I mean, I agree.
I mean, I'm not trying to defend them here.
I think it's shitty, but I think people are blowing it out of proportion.
I think it's a problem that's existed for a long time.
And I think some people are spearheading I guess campaigns to to blow it out of
proportions. Specifically I think Gizmodo is doing a lot of it. Man I'm surprised
even look at Gizmodo anymore. Well I was it was hard to ignore I'm not gonna
link dump it but apparently they Gizmodo started a petition to have to try to
petition Apple to give out three cases for the iPhone 4, so to stop the reception problem.
Where?
Dude, help.
Gizmodo is just, like those guys are determined
to get Apple to blow them up, right?
I don't know, man.
I wouldn't do that to a company that's
threatening legal action against me.
I know, that's stupid.
Like why even, man, those Gizmodo guys just pissed me off.
But anyway,
moving away from them, I don't want to talk about them forever. But I think the only person
who did get an iPhone 4. The office is branded, right? Yeah, brand and got one. And Bernie's
getting one next week. Oh, yeah. His history. He's broken. Like, I got my 3GS. Like, I got
an iPhone for the first time last year when it came out like in June. Yeah. And for some reason'm eligible for the upgrade really I have no idea why huh and my wife who got a 3GS at the same time
I don't think she's eligible till next February
You're special. Yeah, I have no idea
Maybe in a celebrity smile a pain off
I know
I told myself like I wasn't gonna get one I was waiting blah blah blah
And now I see him and I'm like all these things
Are so bad ass my friend. He yeah, he had a 3GS and he actually he was still under contract like I am
He took his 3GS and he unlocked it like you basically, you know jailbroker
Unlocked it and he sold it for 500 bucks. So he basically got his 4G for free or his fourth gen for big open that much
I think I think it's what he says like 480 or something like that. Wow. That's saying yeah, it's like hmm
You have a 3GS right? Yeah, I'm a 3GF. Do you have a 32 gig or a 16 gig? I have the 16
See that's that's again. I mean, this is the thing that I mean
Yeah, the iPhone 4 is cool and all but I don't like the fact that you can only get it with 32 gigs of memory
But honestly, have you ever gone over a 32 gigs?
Yeah, my phone's filled up.
Really? Yeah.
With what?
Porn.
I mean, you come on, dude.
You can only put so much porn on top of the high resolution as your porn.
You watch in 4K porn.
Your iPhone?
I've got a lot of filthy, filthy needs.
That sounds like it.
It's filled up.
A whole lot of filming filthy needs. It sounds like it. It's filled up a whole lot of fillings.
Oh my god.
But I mean, I'm trying to reinforce the point here
that when you're shooting HD video
on top of transferring movies and all your music
and apps and everything else,
I mean, my fucking, some of the apps I have are huge.
Like the Oregon Trail app, I think, is like 700 megs.
Really?
Yeah.
And I think Oregon Trail?
Yeah.
I think 32 gigs is really limiting factor
You know, hey, it's Griffin. You know you made it doom two was only like 20 megs
The full game was only like 20 megs. How's Oregon trail 700 megs? I think you have Oregon trail on your
No, I really need to get it because I love you know, but but this here's a thing
I love that game. It's I grew up playing while garages 700 megs. That's ridiculous
But here no, here's the thing the charm of Oregon Trail is like the original graphics.
Yeah. It's like stick.
So the fact that it's redone is like not appealing to me.
Yeah. That makes sense. I believe that.
Well, it's redone very beautifully.
You know what's funny about Oregon Trail? I grew up in Oregon.
And I just assumed that it was just like only available in Oregon.
I don't know like.
Oh really? I didn't just surprise that anyone had to learn that history
for some reason.
Everyone's had their own state game.
It's like the history of the country, you know, moving
with, moving with.
Did I play the crap out of that game?
That, and do you remember number munchers?
The little frog dude, it was like a grid of numbers.
And it was like, you know, prime numbers only.
And it was like, oh, yeah, I remember that day.
And then you have to go and find in a hit space party
All I need you know like three lives. Yeah, it wasn't it should have been called will never have a girlfriend
School
Did you guys ever play I think it was called truck driver USA it was the same time it came around the same time
Where you had to like get cargo from one place to another and like if you forgot to lock your truck like it would get robbed
That's Arkansas history.'s an awesome game.
That's Arkansas history.
There was a game I used to play.
I think it was on the Commodore 64 and I think it was called Magellan and it was like
you had to sail a ship around the world.
Oh, that's cool.
And it was almost impossible.
I think it was a real time.
I played it.
Oh, I played that game so many times.
I think I only got around the world like twice.
Oh, it sucked.
I don't think I ever made it to all the way to Oregon.
I think I always, like I get to the snake river and drown.
Or I'd get cholera like halfway through.
Or I would know what, this interior cholera.
So were you a banker, a farmer, or a, was the other one?
There's three options you could be.
I think I was usually a farmer.
I was always a farmer.
Yeah, I always wanted for the farmer to do it.
It's something practical.
We get the bonus at the end, too.
Oh, really well.
Well, because like the banker had all the money, but you didn't get the bonus at the end. That was that was my big thing. Yeah. I was going for
numbers. High stores. So have you seen the new the new old spice add the new virus old spice add?
No. Like the I'm on a horse one. Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah I have seen that. Well they've done a brand new
one. The same guy. Yeah. They they they up did.'s a it's pretty crazy. Yeah, I want to see it.
I'm on a horse one. That was only what three setups I guess.
Yeah, the shower the boat and then the
the whole beach and horse. This one there's like nine.
It's all it's all one shot again too.
What is the the workout table like they did a parody on Saturday.
The shake weight. Yeah, the one like they've got the male version of it now.
Oh my god. So we went when we did lunch,
bunch the other day we saw it. They've got a version of it now. Oh my god. So we went when we did lunch brunch the other day we thought they've got a male shake weight commercial. Oh my god. Oh no.
It's great. It's it's it's even better than the female one. No, it's true and the guys you know
they obviously kind of know what's up. So I don't know. I mean, I guess it's it's pretty obvious all
around. No, she's you know, I think maybe on the first commercial they might not have known as much
until like you know, you got cut together and now everyone
You know everyone knows now. Okay. Did you talk about that restaurant because it was awesome
No, we we had lunch at a place called it was called Tacoba. I think T.A. K.O.B.A.
Tacoba on East is it six East seven? I think he seven. It was really good
I actually ate every single like I almost lick my plate
It was which you don't really as a girl out. I don't't know I feel like there's some expectation that I should leave a little
food so I don't know that's stupid but I think I might do it like in the back of
my mind I always leave a little bit of food they had a really good car need is
I've been you know eating a lot of that around town trying to find a good a good
car need is played and finally I found it there so it's text next then not exactly
I had like a salmon thing it was like a sandwich with salmon and capers and a poached egg.
I don't know.
It was good.
I'm not going to sit in judgment if it was good.
It was really good.
As we were wrapping up lunch, I think there was a world cup game going on that day.
A bunch of chili fans showed up.
They were dudes like in face paint.
Chili and Portugal played yesterday, right?
No, yesterday was Portugal and Spain.
Portugal and Spain.
Is your heartbroken, Gus?
No, no, I mean.
Jeff was concerned about you when we were watching.
No, he was, I don't know.
I think we watched it.
Was it what was in the Portugal in Mexico?
Wait, what did you find?
Argentina in Mexico.
Argentina, Mexico.
Yeah, he would kept looking at the score and he was feeling really bad for you.
It sucked. It was it was it was rough. But I mean, I expected that Argentina would win. They've got a good team. I don't I hate Argentina, but they've got a good team.
And they got the rest on their side too. Yeah, true.
Oh, thanks for the comic, by the way, Griffin. I appreciate that. Oh, yeah. We try to keep it a secret, but I'm a split at the other day. Oh, did you? I mean, not like it matters, but.
It's okay.
I forgive you.
Well, I'm desperate for content.
Oh, okay.
Speaking of that restaurant, they also have cute waiters.
So anyone coming to Texas looking for some cute waiters.
Nice.
They go to Ticoba on East Stepan Street.
Yeah.
You know what's going on next weekend?
What for the joy? No, that's this weekend next weekend up in Denver. There's an RVB.co
There is yeah, there's like a Colorado group doing a meetup
Wow, like I just I happen to and a banner ad popped up one time. I was like, oh look at that
And it's like oh, it's next weekend. Oh, that's weird. So anybody want to go to Denver next weekend?
I actually would love to go to Colorado. I've never been I've been through it, but I don't count I really don't count that
Yeah, I looked up a round trip tickets are about three hundred bucks right now, so you'll be gone though
You could you could drive there though like oh fuck that it's far is it?
It's a long drive
Yeah, well, you know, I'm just leaving this problem with living in the middle of Texas
Yeah, you can't road trip suck like it takes a full day just to get out of Texas
Yeah, and there's nothing outside of like this little area area. Like it's just like a wide expanse of nothing.
And then like once you do leave Texas where you're going to go Oklahoma, Arkansas,
in Mexico. We're surrounded by the shit state. I guess New Mexico is the only cool one or kind
of cool one. I like New Mexico. But even to Mexico isn't it pretty sparse except for like Santa
Fe. Yeah. Yeah. You got a Roswell and Elimogordo, there you go.
Well, I really actually would love to take a road trip because I'd like to go back to Tucson
before I moved to Texas, I lived in Tucson for a while.
And when I was with my ex, like we hated it, but I think a lot of that was, if you're
with somebody who's not wanting to be adventurous, it's, and especially if you're in a relationship,
sometimes you get stuck in the house a lot.
So I, and I was just starting to enjoy it, live the performance, I was just starting to
get into it and then we moved to mean to Texas and obviously much happier here
But I'd like to go back with Jeff cuz he's fun to be with and fun to travel with and I think that I would really enjoy it
But now we can't go to Arizona because of all the bullshit there is not the support the state is that heart attack grill place
Is that oh, yeah, it's on or is that Phoenix? I want to see it's Phoenix. Oh, that sucks. I know a flash from the site
He's gone there a few times. Yeah, flash 2000 I've seen pictures
That he posts
Let's see here heart attack grill.com
And and the whole premise that people don't know about this place. It's like a place that serves
Super unhealthy foods and like super large portions. Oh really?
Yeah, the waitresses are dressed up like nurses. Isn't that just like America? And they sell cigarettes there
It's in Chandler, Arizona
Here I'm gonna show you this this burger Griffin. Okay, and I want to hear reactions with it. It's called the quadruple bypass burger
Oh my god, you can even put your mouth over that it's like the no one could even eat that
It we have you have to put it and make it into three burgers. Oh, no, even better. You can put it in a blender and drink it
Yeah, you can actually that is that like an option or I wish that was. That'd be awesome. You have to get a really intense
star on. Good God. And they have flat liner fries, which are, it's, it's like terrible and awesome.
I had to really good fries at Frank the other day. They were like seasoned with some kind of hot
spider. Hot, you know, that was sprinkled over them,
and then they came with like a side of buffalo sauce
with blue cheese in it.
It was really, really fucking good.
That does sound good.
Yeah, it was, it was like,
it was the kind of spicy that builds up over time.
Like you get a couple, like, oh, this isn't bad.
Then you eat 10 in your mouth on fire.
Sometimes it's better to keep going with it though.
Like if you slow down and stop, like actually eating more spice,
like it affects you more, have you noticed that? Yeah, that's, that's totally plus also it's like why would you want the burn to
go away if you're just gonna bring it back. You know once you've got that burn just fucking write it
out. Yeah it's like jumping into cold water in the summertime. If you get out and dry off getting
back in a summer charter. Mm-hmm. No, I agree with you. Okay, I like the way you think. I heard a little
lack gossip but do you guys want to hear some? Absolutely. Okay, it was about you actually.
I don't want to hear it. Yes. Since you brought up the burger thing and I see that you're tempted Jeff is
you guys went to e3 together and had a few guys together and of course comes
from Jeff of course Jeff's not even here I'm representing the evil hand
reached across the country so he said that he took you guys went to several
restaurants and it was hard and like he couldn't get you to go any place that wasn't either a
steak place or a burger place and then he tried to. And yeah well I believe you
because Jeff is not. I want to interject and say I'm glad Jeff had to experience that
because I had experienced that for years with Jeff and his picking. No and he's
actually he's like he told me recently because I he went and got Ethiopian
food with me and I've this place across the interstate called Astor's What is it after see Ethiopian girl? Oh, yeah, okay
So I've been wanting to go for years and we've lived in the house for like five years and it's right across the interstate from us
And I've been begging and like finally we drove around for like an hour every place was closed on Sunday
And he was like fine. We'll go there and he loved it and he like on the way home
He was like, you know what? I don't want to be the problem anymore like I've been ruining everyone's experience for years
Like I'm always the jerk. I don't want to like I don't want to be the jerk of the group anymore. And so he decided that
you're the new jerk of the group. And he said when he was out with you getting
burgers and stuff that you wouldn't eat vegetable you wouldn't even have
lettuce. You wouldn't have any vegetable at all. Like the closest thing to a
vegetable is potato. And I consider that a starch.
What's the closing of vegetable a french fry or was it an actual like proper
potato? I don't know. But you don't eat any vegetable. No.
It's a free country. No, I'm not I'm just I'm obviously you can do whatever you want
Obviously, I mean if you want to get through that if you want to die a colon cancer in 15 years. I mean, that's his choice
Yeah
Yeah, actually that's a problem
We've I don't we don't need as many vegetables as we should either we have this garden in this year
It's finally doing well because last summer we had 105 degrees every day.
We have a little wet weather this year. Yeah, and the garden is doing really well. So we have this pile of vegetables on the counter.
We haven't eaten any of them, it's just like rotting. It's like we put all this time in energy to having a garden, and it's why do we have a garden?
Like we don't eat any, I mean tomatoes are like pretty much the only thing we've eaten in some peppers.
I mean, Jeff brought in a huge tub of tomatoes the other day, and I think they're all rotting in the fridge.
Oh, they're still here. Yeah
Did you all ever pick I planted those onions you all gave me you know a couple months ago. Do you all ever pick those?
No, they died and I think that it's it got too hot like I think you have to plan them
I think they're like a are they winter or early spring? I think I need to pick wine
Yeah, I forgot about them. How does that work? Yeah, we're thinking about actually going down to just one
Garden bag because we have several and then doing the rest like flowers or something that we can actually appreciate
But we have a composter now in chickens. We were trying to do the whole self-sustained thing
But you all have a straw hat and cover all the okay. I got to go do some makeup guys
Stop and buy yeah, hey your phone was ringing too earlier. I don't know if you want to grab that
Well, how's a nice little candy appearance?
I'm just griffin.
Good.
Well, I'm sure she managed to walk in and somehow still embarrassed me.
Yeah, that's what she was up there.
Like, oh, my God, I've got to hurry up and get in there
before they finish.
Yeah, totally.
Got embarrassed, Jack.
Oh, have you seen this new, what is it, the elite costume
that someone made?
Yeah, that thing's pretty cool.
It's like, it's like seven feet tall, and the dude can walk around in it and it's got
I don't know if the mandibles on its face move or something, but
Good god, man. People have too much time on there. That's crazy. I don't
Yeah, I
I wonder if I wonder if I'll see that got Comic Con next month. You see some crazy costumes out there
But I never see anything like that. Yeah
Do they have like a costume ball at Comic Con?
No.
They have those, or they had something like that at Comic Con.
I remember.
And that haul right near us, they have a lot of stuff
like that at other conventions.
I don't know if they have that at Comic Con.
They had sworn they had something.
I don't know.
I'm not, I'm not a big cosplayer.
So I mean, you never had the urge to dress up
like a cartoon character.
You know, this year at Comic Con, we're going to be there again.
We'll be in our same booth that we had last year.
I think it's 1437 on that corner.
Yeah.
And we're going to be taking our new remastered DVDs there, which we've already plugged
on the podcast before.
But they're available in Best Buy now.
They are now available.
They're shipping.
They're also available in Best Buy.
You can check on Best Buy.com to see if it's at a store near you. It's back-ordered on their website.
Oh, that's great. And we also are selling the complete movies on iTunes.
Oh, all right.
You can buy like all of season one or two or three or four or five and get it like as one long file.
Oh, that's all of iTunes. I think it's also available on Zoom. I think if you buy it on iTunes or Zoom,
it's $9.99 or if you want, you know, the box said it's like $40. Wait, so it's
$10 a season? Yeah. Oh, that's cool. But of course, you know, that's none of the special features
or commentators or anything. But if you want, you know, a quick easy way to get it on the go.
It's the new remastered version, right? Right. That's cool, man. I like that. This is the part of
the podcast where I pay the bills. I, I shill our How do we have it? We do we have a sponsor yet? Are you still? No, no
Red versus blue. No, this is the drunk tight sponsor
We're trying to keep red versus blue as happy as possible
I'm gonna take a picture. Hopefully I can find it one of our old box sets here in the office
And I'm gonna take a picture comparing the size of the new box set and the old box set just to show how much smaller it is now
Yeah, and I think it's got all the same content and I think the new box set has like a new
comment.
There's a new seven anniversary commentary and I think that's the only new content
on it.
Oh, okay.
Well, other than of course, it being remastered and completely redone.
Which took fucking two years.
God.
I think when I, when I started working up in the office last October, we were wrapping
up season four or three
Mm-hmm, and that was it and I had my hand in a few shots. Oh, man. That went on forever
We that that's been a process. It's been ongoing since the buta office. Jesus. So I guess it's been longer than two years
I mean that's start that's got that started like in early, oh seven's been like three years
Yeah, making how long have you been in this office? We came here in July, so there'll be three years next month.
I thought it was four for some reason.
I was looking through my...
The other day I downloaded, I saw that Apple had a free trial of aperture.
You can download.
A more professional or a pro-sumer version of I-photo.
That lets you do photo management and basic photo editing.
It can detect people's faces and organize everyone into groups and stuff and so I did that I
let it run and I found a bunch of pictures of us working in Bernie's spare
bedroom I guess I can be original red versus blue office I should see if I can
organize a few of those and post some of them online let me kind of cool it was
man I can't believe we worked in that tiny ass room for so long.
So you went spare bedroom, then beauty office,
which was essentially, or which was,
not essentially it was, a one bedroom apartment.
Nice.
It took here, so here.
And then now we're moving to the other new office,
hopefully in late July.
So you're going from a spare bedroom
to a 7,000 square foot warehouse.
Yep.
That's a little bit of a move up in the wild.
It took a few years.
Yeah.
It took, you know, seven years to do that.
Man, the new office is coming along too.
Yeah, I'm excited.
We're going to, I won't buy that.
I mean, one was last time you went out there.
It was like a week ago.
OK, I went out yesterday morning.
And it was looking nice, man.
Maybe the stairs are going up.
It's very exciting.
Hopefully, you know, we've learned from all of our different
offices, and hopefully we won't have any other problems.
We have now.
Hopefully we'll have a whole new set of problems to deal with at the new office
Like there's some stuff I'm wondering about that. I don't think other people thought about yet like where are we gonna put the printers?
Yeah, you know where does a fax machine go like so that people can use it effectively in your office
Yeah, I don't want that I got to find another place to stash it
I think you've got the biggest solo office in the whole place
It's definitely a be sharing a room and then we've got that conference room next to us
Yeah, my office is the biggest white bar. Yeah, but um, so you I'm kind of trying to justify that
I think we're gonna build a little podcasting area in there
I will be happy and so you come out just like covered in that printer ink stuff
Every every day you come out of there's covered in printer dust
You know, we used to the our printer here at the office used to be on Bernie's desk out in the main room when Bernie
You know, which is Monty's desk now. It was used to be over there. And
we read a story once, I was on FARC or DIG or something years ago that I guess like that
micro-fine dust from the printer toner can get in your lungs and cause cancer. And then like
Bernie and I were like reading it at the same time because we sat right next to each other. We both
turned and looked at the printer because it started printing and then you could see like now that we knew about it
You could see like tons of like this dust just shooting out of it
And then like instantly that day we unplugged it and moved it like across the office from where we said nice
That's it you can put the you can put the printer upstairs and the big open area
Yes, I think we just ran some new
Network cables up there in that open area and I think that's where the fax machine and printer will most likely go. Are we going to have any plugs in the any plugs
or network outlets in that floor up upstairs? Oh yeah, in the middle area. Tons. Like on the actual
ground facing up or oh that's cool. That's because we're going to have like a desk and stuff
there. I think there's going to be 16 data ports right there in that center. Oh that's great.
If you go upstairs you should see they should there should be holes cut in the floor. Okay.
Where it's going to go., I didn't go up there because
there was guys who are working on the stairs. Yeah. Um, shall we get a post in the photos
of construction online? I know people have been asking for it. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe
or should we wait until like maybe do one big thing, like sort of showing the progress.
I don't know. We'll see. If I have time today, maybe I'll post a picture too. It'll
be the bonus feature on a DVD sometime.
So yeah, we should get down there and film it, I guess.
We only have a couple of photos.
Well, map it together a folder now, or you can upload,
or you can, like, anyone who takes photos or video,
they can just dump it into a folder.
It's on how.
So I'll check that out.
Yeah, it's kind of cool.
It's neat to see the progress.
Like, literally, like, some of the first photos in there,
it's like what it was the first time I'd forgotten,
like, that wall that's at your office,
that wasn't even connected. I forgot about that. And and now that's completely gone and fixed and everything's getting crazy
It's getting so big little babies growing up. It's great
And then we hired you know a company to go in and do all of our you know data and phone cabling and we had to come to do your job
Yeah, thank God they they did it so fast. I it's it's up doing this office
I kind of imagine going down there and doing that two-story giant building
Yeah, I walked in one morning when the guy was working. There was like I think like 30 cables is dangling into your office
As a matter of fact. Yeah, there should be all told coming into that closet. I think there should be a
125 Wow
What's good thing we have tin and blow
Hey, man, we we learned you got everyone everyone wants
You know hardwire internet connection. We've got we've got tin employees. We've got 10 employees, we've got six bathrooms.
And at 125 network cables.
That's perfect.
I want to replace my desk chair with a toilet.
I don't remember when I had to get out.
I think I want to put a fridge in my office.
We have a serious problem with people stealing food out of the fridge.
You're telling me to use someone to drink my beer.
So I think I'm going to put a little mini fridge with a lock in my office. I think I'm going to put a little mini fridge with a lock in my office because we have a serious problem with people stealing food out of the fridge here Oh, you're telling me dude someone's drank my beer so I think I'm gonna put a little mini fridge with a lock in my office
I think Jeff and I talked about doing something like that with the achievement hunter office
You're gonna kegarator in your office. That would be pretty cool actually. Yeah, I hope you priced my
I'm sure we can find some of Craigslist. Yeah, they haven't fries. Don't they? Oh, yeah, you're right. They do yeah
All right, you should totally get one of those. Or we can make one.
I'll pitch in, man.
I'll pitch in if you all want to pull somebody together for that.
No, we can do that.
I think we're getting office budgets, right?
And to fix up our room.
Yeah.
We can totally make that happen.
But yeah, I already made my first decorating purchase.
I'm not going to talk about it too much.
Oh really?
Once it's in the office, I'll take a picture and post it.
Actually, I saw something online.
It was a neat way to have books that looked like they're
floating up against your wall.
It was like they had mounted a book that was like the base
book, and then everything else was just stacked on top of it.
So it was like a bookshelf made of a book.
I think we might do something similar to that with Xbox
games.
I could say books.
No, but actually, I could use that and have this,
looks like it's like floating games.
Be kind of cool.
No, that would be real cool. So you have your have your personal library. Yeah, yeah, make it look a little fancy
All right, so we should talk about what you got there because I've been looking at this from across the way
Yeah, are you pass half hour? Are you going to sign up for this?
Hulu plus no, no why why not? Because I don't need it. I've got cable if I didn't have cable
I probably would but what would you disconnect your cable and no get whoo plus instead for ten bucks
I know
What what is it that you watch on cable that you couldn't do with I graze on cable
We're all supposed to be like else be flipping channels like oh, yeah, like halfway through an episode of scrubs
Sure, I'll watch that you know like oh future Amazon. Okay, you know
You just don't think about it who ludes a little bit more like okay. I want to watch this this show
Mm-hmm. It's like all right, and it's not,
you can't flip through channels.
You can't stumble onto something.
That was the hardest part about when I finally
disconnected my cables,
we were talking about there, you know,
going from 500 channels, you can flip through
to having six channels, you could flip.
I mean, so yeah, I'll still flip around,
but I find that I do other things besides watch TV
now a lot more, like I'll play more games or I'll you know do stuff around my house a lot more
But I think I'm gonna get it. Yeah, I wish it was five dollars a month for ten dollars a month
I'm not sure if it's if that's the right price point
But I'm willing to try it out. Especially if I can use like one account
I'm I'm assuming I'll let me do it on my iPad my iPhone and you know my Xbox and PlayStation
Yeah, yeah, they. They would move around.
They would say anything about that yet, right?
Like, I don't want it to be locked.
Like, oh, you have one account.
You can tie it to one device.
Yeah.
I assume they wouldn't do anything that stupid.
I would hope not.
But it's not going to Xbox still 2011, right?
Right.
Yeah, it's supposed to be on the PlayStation in July.
And then Xbox in early 2011.
I wonder what Sony had some agreement with them.
Or I wonder if it's just software-based if they don't have the, all right, if they
haven't just designed it yet. Well, what I heard was that the X-Box version of it is going
to be different, like a more enriched experience, like it's going to involve Connect and it's
going to be a totally separate experience. Like I like watching net, for example, I like
watching Netflix on my 360 way more than I do on my PS3.
Just because the interface is better,
and I feel like I can sort through stuff a lot more easily,
and it's a lot faster.
So it might be something similar,
which is just a design issue,
and they're still developing the way it's going to interact.
I guess so, man.
But if I was Microsoft, I would use all everything in my power
to get that done fast.
Don't let Sony jump you.
Especially through a holiday season.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, if you're trying to sell the Xbox as, you know, don't let Sony jump you especially through a holiday season. Yeah I mean yeah, if you're trying to sell the Xbox as you know, I'm in entertainment device
You want to have that but well, it's coming. I mean, it's just gonna be a little a little delayed
Yeah, I'll see they still have an announced the connect final price yet. Mm-hmm. I said in a podcast a different podcast
Not our podcast, but someone else's podcast that it would connect to be a hundred fifty dollars at everyone in the room laughed at me
No, that's the rumor. That's the rumor. That's the rumor and I'm a lot closer
I was like I ought to be like fifty bucks. I'll be like maybe a hundred's the most
I'm like now it's gonna be like 200 or 150. That's kind of crazy. Yeah, and I'll be damned
That's a little pricey. I don't know if I want to buy it
I don't know if I buy it right away at that price point like because I don't want to play the games
I'm only interested in like the core functionality yeah signing in and like watching movies and stuff like that
I know getting rid of my remote. I think a lot of people have trouble with managing
You know multiple remotes and devices and things. I have a lot to take harmony
Which is like the greatest thing do you have one of these? I have two of them the greatest fucking remote in the world
I have the 880 which is an older model from like four or five years.
No, it's like three or four years old now. And you know, it controls all of my devices.
And that's like macros that turn everything on. That's the inputs correctly. It's a, and
I don't even know where any of my other remotes are anymore. It's funny. Actually, I, when
I was unpacking my stuff, I actually, I'm missing one of my harmonies, but my new TV I got, I figured out that
something really, really cool that I know you could do.
So I plug my Xbox, my TV into my TV through HDMI,
and then I've got an optical audio cable
going from my TV, it's like optical out
from my TV into my receiver,
and it feeds five one audio through my TV into my receiver.
So I never have to switch my input on my receiver.
It's always just on and then it automatically feeds
to that optical cable.
Oh man, I can't believe that work.
Yeah, it's amazing.
It's like whatever input my TV is on,
that's the audio feeds through.
I have almost the exact same setup.
I've HDMI devices going into my TV
and an optical audio coming out to my receiver.
But for some reason, my TV will only output two channels
over that optical audio to my receiver.
So I can't get five one.
So my Xbox is plugged in via optical audio directly
to my receiver.
And I think that the, so I had to make a compromise.
My PlayStation 3 is plugged in via HDMI.
So I don't get two channels of sound
for my PlayStation 3.
But it's so convenient now that I literally,
the only remote I use I use the
the Tivo P-NUT remote. That's super simple one. And that's all I use. It has a power button that
turns on my receiver and my TV and that's it. And then I can just switch inputs via that remote
and that's it. And then I've got my Harmony. I've actually got a Harmony in my bedroom for my
big TV or my bedroom TV. So why why, you know, I love the harmony.
It's great.
My problem with the harmony is that, my problem with the harmony is the PlayStation
3.
And it's not their fault.
The PlayStation 3 doesn't have an IR receiver.
It has to be blue tooth.
So if you want to use my harmony with it, you have to buy like an IR receiver that converts
it for the PlayStation.
But, you know, that has to be thinking, like, you know, the PlayStation you can PlayStation, but you know that that has been thinking like, you know
the PlayStation you control with the Bluetooth remote. Why can't you do that?
I think you're gonna see that start to happen with more devices where you're gonna have Bluetooth
remote and then they'll transition to having apps on your phone that allow you to control items because if I could control
all my phone, that'd be great. Yeah, I always have that in my pocket anyway.
Yeah, I'm getting cool. I guess I, there are already some stuff like you can control some...
There's like a DVD thing.
Right, no, a Blu-ray.
You can control some Blu-ray movies on the PlayStation 3 with a nap on your remote.
On your iPhone.
Oh, sorry on your iPhone.
Your iPhone remote.
You know what I meant?
I know what you're talking about.
Well, I'm just talking from the future.
That's all.
It hasn't been invented here yet.
You know. But it is... talking from the future, that's all. It hasn't been invented here yet. Yeah, it's time.
But it is something very cool about having everything set up through a
Injust one remote and then I go to my parents house and
I tell you about my parents not having color on their TV.
What?
Or so I came home one day, went after you know I was moving stuff
in my parents house to my house.
And I walk in and my parents are watching Harry Potter on DVD.
And immediately I'm like, you don't have red. Like what? You have no red on your on a DVD player.
They have the audio. Like it is a component out and they had the red audio and video swapped.
They were still doing me a one channel of audio. Yeah. And they were missing red.
Unliked this nice TV. This like 1080 like 1080p TV like just watching blue and green
Oh, I can be like what you don't see that this is wrong like what what's wrong with it?
And then I like I fixed it. They're like oh, that's much better. Oh, yeah
How do you miss that or like or though like every time I see them watching TV?
They're always watching the standard deaf channels. I'm like do you have this channel in high-deaf?
Yeah, why are you not watching this in high-deaf? Well, I don't know number that is
1511. Yeah, my one time, my a few years ago, my stepdad got a next box 360 in a small HDTV to play to play it on. I was like, I was visiting
them and I walked by and I was like, Oh, your Xbox is outputting standard
definition on that TV. You should fix that. It's like right away, you know, it just
popped and you can see it. But I guess, you know, if you're more accustomed, I wonder
at what point will we get old enough that we just won't know to stuff like that?
Oh man.
Do you think that'll ever happen?
I hope not.
Like do you think, well, I don't know if it's a function of being like oblivious or not
tearing or?
Yeah.
I think it's more oblivious, honestly.
But do you think we'll ever hit a point as like as we get old, we're in our 80s that
we're not playing video games anymore?
My wife asks me that a lot and I think she's always this point
If I say I think I'm gonna play video games till the day I die me too, honestly
Like I mean be like oh, well, you know, you know, well people don't play video games now
Old people weren't around when video games existed. Yeah, but who knows like video games may not exist anywhere
Like there may be some new form of entertainment and so like you know, old people now still listen to the radio
That's what they did when they were on you know for fun. Yeah, they watch TV
And we may we may be playing video games and everyone else done. You know, for fun. Yeah, they watched TV.
And we may be playing video games and everyone else's,
you know, hyperballing.
God knows what the fuck they're going to do in the future.
Like, no, seriously, it was on a thing called a disk.
I put into a drive.
Disks, man.
God, that's, I can't wait for that.
Those are gone in the next, I'll say now,
disks are gone in the next update of systems.
It's possible.
I think internet connectivity needs to get faster in the US
before we can totally get rid of it, because HD streaming looks great
on my Xbox and on my TV until I put in a disk and compare it
side by side.
Oh, that looks like crap. The disk is way better.
Yeah, I guess so.
We need more bandwidth and lower latency in order to fully get rid of it.
But I mean, I was talking yesterday to somebody about this.
It's like, for example, my Xbox got stolen.
If I had all of my games attached to my profile,
like I had to be signed in,
or like sort of like steam or like,
like, battle net,
it's if I had that on my Xbox and my Xbox got stolen,
changed my password, boom, you have none of my games.
And then I can sit down on a new machine,
and you still have all your saves and all my everything.
That's why I love cloud-based,
and I know you hate cloud-based computing, but.
Man, that's so awesome.
You know, cloud-based computing has its uses.
I mean, I do hate it, but I hate enterprise use of it.
I hate people, like emails, like.
Yeah, relying on it for core business functionality.
You know, if you, yeah, fuck it. I use steam.
My torchlight saves in the cloud.
I don't even think about it twice.
But if I'm running a company, I don't want my email out
in the cloud.
I don't want it on a local private network or my local server.
It's just a matter of people not having
the right priorities, I guess.
We're not fully thinking that stuff through.
I got to say, though, being able to sit down
at any machine, anything connected to the internet though being able to sit down at any machine
Anything connected to the internet and being able to do your mail is pretty cool. Yeah, we I mean
Yeah, I like my I had a similar experience with torchlight on steam
You know I played on my laptop all the time I fired it up on my computer here at work once and I came downloaded
You know my save was there no problem. That's great
So counter-strike just came out on steam the other day. Oh, yeah. Team Fortress 2 just did a deal, right?
Yeah, it was like you could buy the entire valve pack for pretty cheap. Really? I think they had a square Unix pack
Or as an idos pack one of them last week. You could buy like every game they had for like 75 bucks every two-marator game ever
Yeah, I think it had like Batman Arkham asylum, too. Yeah, I must have been id don't think okay, you know, I have actually I've I've not downloaded steam yet
Really, yeah, I'm probably should miss it out. Dude, I mentioned in this most recent I will I mentioned that
APB is PC only and I was like like kind of sucks some you know, I'm a Matt guy
Mm-hmm, and I got so much shit in the comments for being a Matt guy and it's like
Everyone at this office is a Matt
It's like Red vs Blue is made entirely on Max. You know, it's a film and video production.
Of course it's going to be all Matt. Exactly. It's like people like they're still a go PC's
with best. It's like not for what we do man. This podcast is made on a Mac. The only PC's in this
office are Monies right. Yeah. And we're doing our dams to get him off the guy I'm trying to get him upgraded from windows XP he
loves windows XP man he will not put it away you know put it down let's boot
camp them that'll start the process so what do windows XP supports over you know
that's end of life I got to get him off of that yeah no one's gonna be to be
you know putting drivers or updates anymore yeah it's dead but I'm sure he's
happy with it like that I I guess so, man.
That's it.
I mean, that says something.
He's very tied to like his keyboard.
Like he has a very specific workflow.
And I first, when he started here, I didn't understand it.
Yeah.
I wanted to upgrade him to a newer version of Windows, but like seeing him work now, I understand
why he is the way he is.
He has a very, very, and he's very efficient at it.
You know, I give him that.
Yeah.
That's why I will not, I don't, I don't push up with upgrades on him anymore. Yeah. Cause he knows what he's
doing and he is down with it. But Windows XP has no more support. So he needs to do something.
Yeah. So money, I know I don't see you very often at the office because you work nights
and I work days. But we're gonna have to talk sometimes to you. Is this how upgrading your
computer? Is this how we're gonna communicate with you? Also, money, we need to talk about
booking your Comic Con travel arrangements.
Yeah.
Oh, we need it.
Mine is going to Comic Con?
Yeah, well, we need to figure it out.
Possibly.
Possibly.
Man.
But yeah, yeah.
So we'll see.
Yeah, we got some exciting stuff lined up for packs.
I won't say what it is, but we got some cool stuff coming up.
Yeah.
Very, very excited about that.
It's a.
The pack is going to be huge for us this year.
It's our big travel season, I guess, the summer.
Comic Con in packs. How many people are going to be going to packs? Like almost It's our big travel season, I guess, the summer. Comic Con in Pax.
How many people are going to be going to Pax?
Almost all of us, right?
I don't know.
I don't know.
That's like Comic Con in all that I see right now.
I guess.
That's September, so that's too many months away.
Yeah, I can't think about Pax.
Do we have rooms booked for Pax yet?
No.
We don't have any reserved or anything?
No.
We'll be fine.
We've got mad connections.
Yeah, well, there's a lot of hotels down there.
That's true.
I think last year I waited to like,
three weeks before packs and booked us.
That's why we had to walk a bit.
It would kinda suck.
We were a little further away,
but it was a nice hotel though.
Yeah, it was really nice,
but hopefully, you know,
will you stay there or, you know, we're set.
Yeah, it's not like Comic Con though.
Like Comic Con it seems like there's like six hotels,
main hotels right there near the convention center
and everything else is real far away.
Right?
Comic Con, I think I booked last October.
Jesus Christ.
You gotta book him so far in advance.
And even then you guys aren't really within walking distance.
Yes, we kind of got shafted.
Like I booked the way it normally works.
Like with Comic Con, they have a, if you're an exhibitor,
they have like a pool of hotels that, you know, you apply for,
and then they give you a hotel assignment.
And a hotel assignment sucks this year.
But normally what I do at the same time is back in October, I'll book my own rooms, you know,
at a hotel that I want to stay at, that I want us to stay at, like real close to the convention center.
And then if, you know, if our deal is better, I'll stay with it.
If Comic Con feels better, I'll go with them. And if Mr. Comic Con's deal was better so price wise it was better. Right so we have to
wind up walking a bit. Yeah the hotel we were at last year was for well no the hotel you were at last
year. I just slept on a floor. Oh yeah yeah it was a I slept on two different floors at Comic Con.
We were at the high at last year which was good the year before we were at the Marriott and it's
like the two hotels like right next door to the convention center. We used to stay at the high at last year, which was good. The year before we were at the Marriott, and it's like the two hotels like right next door to the convention center.
We used to stay at the Embassy Suites, which is several blocks down the street.
Jesus. It was great because the rooms were huge, and back then we used to take
the armor out there all the time. It was great to have a place to store the armor,
plus there was like a couch that folded out into a bed. You could put
tons of people in the room. Nice. I literally slept on a floor at the holiday
and I slept on Jeff's at the holiday and I slept
on Jeff's floor where you guys were saying nice but you didn't pay for me. No. I was living
in LA. I took the train down. That was one of the coolest experiences ever man. Taking
the train down the coast to San Diego from Los Angeles. On the way back from I literally
I booked my ticket to go to LA 20 minutes for the train showed up.
I just walked up, got my ticket, and they got on.
I wish it could be like that flying.
Oh, no.
It would be great.
But on the train ride back up, it's like over the ocean.
This was like midday.
This is a really beautiful day.
And I'm looking out at the ocean and I'm like, hey, those are dolphins.
Nice.
I saw dolphins jumping in the ocean from the train.
It was definitely one of those California moments. So it's like, this is pretty cool. So you don't get that in Texas.
Not a whole lot of dolphins. No, just oil covered.
Tart dolphins. Tart, Tart, Tart. Tart.
I wanted to give a quick shout out here. I know I've been meaning to bring this up
to past few podcasts and I keep forgetting. I guess count 3D from our website started
up a drunk tank RT Twitter feed that talks about drunk tank stuff and where's the
stuff in general? It's cool and it's pretty cool. People should check it out.
He does a great job updating it. I'll put him in the link down.
At Count 3D he's a premium member. Yes, he's...
Would do business again, A++. How long has he been on the site?
How long have you known him? A long time how long is he been on the side how long you
know a long time I think he signed up I think he signed up in early oh five
was like the hbb days now I think he was community site days again man all right well we need to
wrap this up yeah we're running long or the podcast is running a little short but we're running
late in the day yeah late start and you gotta get this shit cut. I'm sure you're getting tired looking at me. Yeah.
Well, I think we did okay. I mean, I don't want to, I don't want to listen to the finished product yet,
but I think you and I did okay. I do all right. Yeah.
See, I think when Jeff's not around, it's easier to talk to you without you yelling at me.
It's like, I think Jeff prods you. Jeff is good at that.
That's like he'll say stuff that if I said it, I would get screamed at.
Because of Jeff, he's cool.
It's all right.
Well, Jeff, you've also got years of experience.
Yeah, I've known Jeff for a long time.
I mean, I saw some pictures, going back to the pictures,
I had I saw some pictures of Jeff from like 12 years ago.
It looked totally different guy.
I remember looking at the bonus DVD when we were doing the remaster stuff.
And I saw the video of you and Jeff doing the first dialogue
Mm-hmm ever a red verse of blue and he had no sleeves
No, that was really really weird. Oh, it's none tattooed Jeff
I remember when you first got that like black band around his arm. Yeah, I was like oh, there's no going back
You know little tattoo like that now. He's just covered in yeah, no he can't run for public office. No
All right, that's a lot of fun. Yeah, let's go have some lunch.
Alright, I'll do it.
