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. Don't die here! Okay, there's a little surprise for you there at the end. Yeah, you're expecting me. Yep, how's everyone doing? Great! Doing good, how are you doing, Gus? I'm doing good. I see you wearing your Hoover's cooking shirt today. Yeah. Oh, we're going to go, is that how we're going to do it? We're just going to dive straight into the fucking local food.

No, not necessarily. Well, I have to say, Griffin and I ate it foreign and domestic the other day. That was awesome. It was one of the best meals I've ever had in my entire life. I wouldn't get that far, but it was really good. Because you got octopus. I did get octopus. It was a huge risk. That's your first meal. Where's that place at?

It's on North Loop. Oh, right, I was at Cute Village Stores. Yeah, like North Loop and DuVall, essentially. It's my second home. That's street. There you go. Back when we were four square, and you were the, there may be a couple of vintage shops out there.

I had that whole fucking, yeah, it was my part of town. Yeah, that was awesome for me. It was a very expensive project to become mayor of those places. Yeah. What did you do? So we're a little short handed today. It's just a different riff in and Gus, three Gs. I mean I'm happy that the three Gs are together but I'm a little disappointed that Bernie Ditch. No one else can show up to work before 11 a.m. Yeah I mean it's pointed that Bernie, no one else can show up to work before 11 a.m. Yeah, I mean, it's, uh, yeah, 11 a.m. exactly. Oh, well, we, we, we, we delayed a bit. We gave him a chance.

It takes you up there more than welcome to join. Man, you know, we got a lot of, uh, positive comments about the drum tank when we were at PAX this last weekend, you know, you and I, obviously, Gus were just at the Paneer arcade expo in Seattle this last weekend for a tremendously successful event. And we got a lot of positive feedback on the drug thing, but we had more than a handful of people that said they wish we were actually drunk when we recorded it.

And seeing, I was thinking about it this morning, I was like, well, maybe I'll give them what they want, but God damn dude. I know it's 11, which means it's almost lunch, but I am barely awake as it is. I couldn't imagine being drunk right now. Plus also I feel like I'm still hung over from packs anyway. I don't know that I can really start drinking yet regardless. How did that happen? I don't know. night right for Ruchertheat like a little shinn little like sweray if you will that we threw for some of our closest friends and I was like gonna take it easy

I didn't want to make an ass on myself and one of them bears on self if you want to rewind it when you and I were flying out to packs we said to each other I don't know if I'm gonna drink on this trip like independently we both thought maybe we should just take it easy not not drink. Didn't feel like drinking. No. Fast forward to Saturday. Well fast forward to we got off the plane. And we were going to baggage and we walked by a dude who smelled so intensely of vodka. We both turned to each other and said no we gotta get drunk. I know that dude smelled so good. It smelled like vodka and I was like oh I want some of that. It was really weird. It's so funny too that like that smell of like process through people's pores

Alcohol like can be an attractive thing at all like you're like I want to smell like this guy tomorrow I wanted to either be like him or marry him Fast forward to the next night and And I swear I took it easy. I didn't I don't remember drinking a lot, but I don't I also don't remember that night For the most part, which is the first time that's happened to me in a long time. Yeah, there are some great pictures. I have no idea.

I mean, I'm in the photos. That's the thing that sucks. I mean, it doesn't suck. It's as a Wi-Fi appreciated, but it sucks that you can't just go and relax in a night without having people take a million photos of you and having recorded a record of what you did. I gotta agree with that. Thanks to Twitter and cell phone pictures, it's a, you can't do anything.

Yeah, no, it's great for me, but you can't do anything. But no, it is kind of like a different world we live in now. It's like we're police to fire friends. Yeah, you're constantly being monitored and watched and the results show up on the internet. And they're there for everyone to see forever. Have you guys ever posted a bad picture of somebody because you're mad at them? I mean obviously the answer is yes. I can't think of a specific moment but I'm sure I have of you. I didn't post one but I tagged somebody and I didn't. Yeah I did.

I did intentionally tag them because I was pissed off and it was a horrible photo I feel bad about it now though boy or girl. It was a girl of course because girls are horrible to each other What else happened to packs? We were there I guess three days huge event. Do we know do you know how many people were there yet? I don't think they have announced the attendance yet last year was 68,000 I believe was it really yeah? Yeah, and $68,000, I believe. Was it really? Yeah. Yeah. And this year, I think, was as high as, or more. They tried to expand, I mean, lest they hit the limit of people

that the convention center could hold. So they moved some stuff off site this year, I think, to make room for more attendees. Which, by the way, I was not crazy about. I don't know about you. Yeah, it wasn't too crazy. The main theater was offside. It was like three blocks from the convention center.

It was a long three blocks though. But that new venue was awesome. Oh, yeah. No, I don't mean, I don't want to disparage the theater. It was really amazing, but it was kind of hard to get to and I was kind of lost and like, everybody kept telling me, yeah, it's a six minute walk. It's a six minute walk, which was actually more like a 14 or 15 minute walk.

No, I was afraid. No, because you got to get out of the event, first of all. If a dude comes up to your booth and says, it's a six minute walk, he means a six minute walk from the front door, not from where you are. So if you don't budget your time appropriately, you end up almost missing your event. Well, people don't think about traffic,

like foot traffic or whatever. Yeah, and so, but the cool thing about that place, obviously it was gorgeous. I mean, it was like an old theater, looks kind of like the Paramount Theater in Austin, where they have the seating on the sides and stuff, those three-celleries. Yeah, I had balconies, I had like two balconies,

but it had an actual sound system. It wasn't just the, you know, PA system set up on concrete floors, we were like, with a 40-foot ceiling, and so it was, the sound was great. Yeah, I feel like people in the auditorium could actually hear the videos we were playing for them. Yeah, absolutely.

While we showed episodes 19 and 20 of Red versus Blue, Revelation, you guys went in the back and I went and I sat in the audience and I watched it in the very back because I wanted to check out the sound, to heard it perfectly. That's great. We also showed that short.

Did you see, we played the presentation off of my laptop. Yeah. Did you see that the DVI cable they had was a fiber optic DVI cable? Really? I'm still freaking out over it. It was like this long fiber optic cable with the DVI and- Dude, that's sexy. Yeah, that's crazy. That's pretty awesome. They're pretty serious setup. Getting back to that short, you were about to talk about? Oh god, yeah, I did. I think it's called the one I was trying to polish over thanks well you brought it out no yeah that's a good point I hadn't seen anything from that short I wasn't on set that day so I was in the office and I I purposely didn't watch any of the know Matt was editing it as computer and he did mostly editing after you and I

had left anyway because you know we always get to the events early to set up and so I watched it for the first time with the audience and dear lord you are disturbing you know we shot that it's crazy to turn around time on that because we shot that short last monday and we showed it at packs at our panel that friday and i felt like it was really super polished and editing was super tied on it it was edited extremely well i think it's the best short we've produced. I have to agree. Yeah, I mean it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was a long day it was so long she I think it was like 12 or 14 hours or something

like that. Yeah it went over a lot like I left out to take care of the office and then I thought we were pretty much wrapped so I didn't come back because it was just one more set up left, but then you guys are there I don't mean I assumed You were there for a lot of hours. Yeah, it was and I felt really bad because I didn't even know until like 11 I was like oh shit. I think I tried around when we rap like 10 30 or 11 or so. Yeah at night So wait a short here response No, but I didn't mean to I told the way we've gone back because I mean that you know I would have just dropped carry off and turned around, but I thought they were nearly done.

Well, you're giving Carey secret rides for it. It wasn't secret, everyone knew about it. Did he the new hotness? You just need to take more interest in the things that I do. I don't know about that. But how was the Crowder reaction to the short? Oh, it was great. It was easily, it was as good as reverse blue, I think.

That's great. Well, I don't know. There were some, the reverse blue, I think. That's great. Well, I don't know. There were some, there were some blue reactions. We're pretty awesome. There's a scene where Brandon was in the front row. I don't want to spoil it because there are some people that obviously haven't seen it yet. They're going to be able to send it to this podcast.

But there was a scene where Brandon said he looked over and two girls were in tears. I'm not going to say if it was tears of joy or tears of sadness or what, but they were laughing and crying, but they were, it brought tears to their eyes and that was pretty funny. Have you guys seen some of the footage of the crowd reacting? No, no, there's no- The Brandon text them and I think it might have been one of the ones you're talking about, like just like some of the scenes, I don't remember what part it was, they told me.

But anyway, like they were just like huge faces, like the reaction was really interesting to watch. Oh, that's great. Yeah, we showed, you know, I guess the last two episodes are you said that right? A revelation. Yeah, what the one of which aired this past Monday and then the final one which airs is coming Monday? Yeah, it was about 17 minutes of footage. Mm-hmm. And then that short and then we did a Q&A, but yeah, people seem to really dig it. And it, I don't know, it's always fun to watch for the first time, to watch something new, reverently, reallyrelated with an audience,

because it's like, I don't know, it's a totally different experience than sitting around somebody's computer and watching it. Well, it seems like we rarely get a chance to watch it with an audience anyway. Yeah, yeah, we used to do it a lot more. I guess we had a showing earlier than shared at the Alamo, though.

And I think we'll be doing it again later. I guess later are we going to show revelation at Fantastic Fest this month? I believe so. I don't know what the finalized schedule is, but I think we are. Okay, cool. That'll be awesome. Yeah. To see it all like the whole thing. So Fantastic Fest. I wish Bernie was here to tell us a little more about that. Yeah, me too, Bernie or Jack, right? I don't really know much about it other than that there's a Fantastic Fest is having a games portion. It's a very popular, very up-and-coming film festival

in Austin put on by Tim League of the Alamo Draft House who we glowingly talk about all the time, and I think the guys from Anacle News, I don't know if they're involved or not. And they're having like a games side this year. And so there's gonna be like a 48 hour machine in a film festival, I think. And I think we're gonna do some kind of a panel and

I'm it sounds pretty cool. So oh, and I think oh Man, I wish Bernie was here to Tometh is this correct or not, but I think the winner of the machine of a film festival gets a walk on part in red versus blue I think you're correct I think that's what he was talking about last week. Yeah, we're gonna make the announcement at Pax it was that was pretty sure he said that during the q&a the winner of the best actor or actress award

in the machine of my film category will uh... perform their own walk on roll on a kind of sort of reverses blue so it's gonna be like hey what's up guys on private headshot and i'm sure to be more tangible as that. No, no, that's not it.

That's it. So that's cool. I guess we've never really done anything like that before. No, it's crazy. So I guess that's why this has to be really soon. I guess films have to be uploaded to their website by 7pm this Sunday, September 12th. I don't know, so you get four days left.

Yeah. Well, I guess this is a 48 hour challenge. It starts Friday September 10th at 7pm and then they have to have it completed and uploaded by September 12th at 7pm. Okay. We'll put this in the link dump and you'll see you'll read all the information about it. I guess the some good prizes, some computers and laptops and stuff. Dude, I love computers and laptops and stuff

That's the best. Yeah, they are awesome So anything else happened at PAX we had a cool party We got to see a lot of really nice people We did a panel. Mm-hmm. We did a late night talk show Yes, you don't talk about that. No, okay. Did you see we did a late night talk show? We did leave it at that. We did a not go well. It I Bernie says that we have two modes as a entity

Funny and ugly and things went ugly really fast. Oh really? I'll say foggy Yeah, I will say that at one point I looked out in the audience and Dom count 3d was there and his face was as like was as red as your shirt And he had his eyes closed and he was like he couldn't breathe He was laughing so hard so I guess a funny and ugly can go together I guess I got I got it. What is our place to see it? I hope not I don't think it exists. I'll see if we can find it for the link. Don't but I don't think I don't think it's out there Did you see the person just up his cat from Hala reach at packs dressed dancing at the just dance booth?

I did I didn't see her doing the dancing, but I saw her walking around Pretty cool. She kept our booth for a little while. Yeah, she was being connecting the dance letter on by Allison Right from 3453 was that the same suit that we saw at Comic Con? Yeah, I believe so. I believe so. Yeah, but it's it's cool to have such a big presence. I guess you know the game coming out next week. Dude the lines for reach were really crazy and it's kind of funny. Bernie brought his wife Jordan and their son JD who is you know kind of big into Halo. And he he well you you know, Bernie was working the booth. So Jordan, poor Jordan, they would get in line for an hour so that they could play Reach and then get out of line and go right back in the lining.

Oh my God, that's crazy, really? Yeah, they did that a couple of times. But he had, like, appeared to have the best time of his life. It's funny, because I think the Halo Reach line was the only one I saw at the entire convention where they had a sign up that said you must be 17-year-olds to play, 17 years old to play or be a company by a parent or guardian. Oh really? Yeah, I don't know.

There were a lot of crazy lines. Apparently the Duke Nukem line was like three hours long as well. I don't even know where that was. Oh, I don't know what that was. I was out by the machine, I'm a booth, right? It was, yeah, it was over where they had those really funny posters on the wall of like Duke Nukem and the shark. Oh, right, right.

Those are great. Those are pretty clever. Did you play any games while you were there? I watched you play Lego Universe. It's the only game I touched. I played Lego Universe. It was fun. And I think that's it.

I didn't get a chance. Didn't have time to really get in line or anything. Yeah, it's hard when you're working the booth, right? Mm-hmm. But the last the last day you and I watched on a bit and I checked it out. It was fun though. I, you know, I saw some people playing the old Republic and saw like the the dialogue trees and the quest giving system and stuff. Man, how cool is that? That was pretty crazy. Yeah. How are they different? Well, now, you know, normally, you know, you play like a like, let's say, wow, right? You play well. When you go up to your quest giver, you know, you right

click on them and it's like a bunch of text and you hit accept In the old republic when you go up to the quest giver and you click on them it choose a cinematic So instead of reading it's you know, it's like a cutscene where they explain I watched you play before So not the old republic. Yeah, I feel like it's not out yet. Yeah, I'm not so next year. Okay, but wasn't it It's just a nice night's of the old republic. Yeah, it's not out yet. It's like a muscle next year. Okay, but wasn't it? It's just not over. You might be thinking of nights nights of the older pope. That's not digging out. Yeah. That's where this different. Yeah. This is the MMO version. Okay. Yeah, it's pretty crazy though. The fact that they have cut scenes for every quest like that. Like it's it's I can't imagine the amount of work that's going into that. Yeah, it's going to be a

lot of dialogue trees. A lot of dialogue recorded. Can you skip this cinematic stuff? I think so. Okay, good. Because that's what I mean. You don't want to sit through all of that, do you? You know what though? BioWare just released a list of stats from Mass Effect 2. I don't know if you're already planning on talking about this or not, Gus. And it was like, people love the game. It's very popular.

People love to play it. Some people played it 40 times through. But the most interesting thing to me was that one of the stats was conversations were only skipped 15% of the stats was conversations were only skipped 15% of the time, which has got to be a testament to how well that game is written and voice acted because usually when I play a game I just blow through hitting A as fast as I can. And I didn't really do that in Mass Effect 2 and I'm surprised that 85% of the people didn't as well.

So is that for every game are those stats available? Like can you see? No, they, they, the developer may collect a lot of those stats, but they don't normally share them. I think, oh yeah, one that makes sense. It's all kind of the same though. Like that should be just like up like common knowledge. Like, yeah, it's interesting stuff. It's starting to like hit more like red dead redemption,

at least, or rock star released a bunch of cool stats about red dead redemption, and then, you know, now by hours done. And I hope to see it more, because it's really interesting to see, because that also, and not only shows you, like, how many people played the game, how many people finished it, all that nonsense, but it shows you how people played it, you know, which is interesting. Well, the average, and what's funny is, the average completion time for Mass Effect 2, they said, was 33 hours, but there were four Xbox 360 players who beat Mass Effect 2, 23 times. Who are those four people?

Are they listening to our podcast? Yeah, there are two on the PC who completed it 28 times. And I'm sure they got faster as time went on. They didn't have people who pulled 33 hours, but that's a lot of fucking time. 23 times, dude. That's crazy. That's crazy. Like, have you ever beaten a game 28, 3 times?

No, I rarely finish a game twice. I think I beat Mass Effect 2. I think I played 3 or 4 times. Yeah, you did. Were you doing videos in it and you had your home account and your work accounts? Right. And that was a lot. I felt like I saw everything.

You know, I saw everything multiple times. I can't imagine doing it fucking 28 or 23 times. I bet at the end of those 28 times, I bet that those dudes know the game better than the developers. I bet that. Wow. I really do that. I mean, they'd have to know every in and out of that game So let's say they do it faster because they're they've done it so many times But they're probably putting 20 hours into each playthrough right so I don't is there a scientist they could do that math No, so you're doing 20 hours at 23 playthroughs. That's 460 hours

Fuck divided by 24 hours. It's a little over 19 days of playtime. Wow, but stats It's like more of a like a realistic rating system, you know like and like you I don't know what it was about 24 hours. It's a little over 19 days of playtime. Wow, but stats, it's like more of a realistic rating system. You know, like, and like you, I don't know what it was. If it was a podcast or a video that I'll did about how rating is just kind of skewed, like it's either like it. I only did a PSA. Yeah, that was PSA. It was like between eight and 10 almost all the time.

Like you can't really get an idea at what of games like based on the rating system. But by reading stats, like that's definitely a better way to figure out what people like about it or whatever. Right, absolutely. The problem with these kinds of stats is you have to wait until several months after the game's out. Like, people can't use the stats.

Well, people can't immediately use the stats to determine whether or not they should buy the game. And also, let's be honest, they're not gonna release bad stats. Of course, you know. Yeah, that's true. Well, and I mean, most people, I think usually, I mean, they buy a game because they play a game that came before it that they liked or they like the trailer or whatever

I mean they're not gonna yeah like a stats in this one it says that 50% of the players Who played Mass Effect 2 imported a saved character from Mass Effect 1? That's pretty interesting. You know I played Mass Effect 1 and I did not import a character from 1 to 2. Did you finish one? No, I never finished it and I couldn't find my save file. So I would have had I found it. But yeah, it wouldn't have mattered because I didn't finish my save file. I did both.

Yeah. Yeah. You were saying that you played it three times, but you're making videos. Like, if you, in general, if you could go back to the days where you just played for fun, other than wow, I mean, how long do you play game typically? I think I played this one through twice personally

Okay, not counting making videos if I wasn't making videos and doing achievement hunter I would play I would spend a lot more time in a game. Yeah, cuz I'd want a hundred percent You know, and I just don't I don't have the time to do that so I have to move on to what over the next game is now I guess pretty rare like I hundred percent of dead rising K-Cero and I was happy about that Well, that's also super short. Yeah, it's a little bit. It's not it takes more than half to 100%. Yeah, I mean I played through once. I did one playthrough and I think I got almost all the achievements. Yeah, I think I had to do three playthroughs when it was all said and done or two and a half. I was really happy with the way

that K-Cero worked out. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I like, you know, it was super short, it was like $5 or whatever. And you get a chance to increase the level of your- you're starting level of your character when Dead Rising 2 comes out. Angiopee and your money and all that. Yeah, and you also get re-acquainted with the- like it's like the movement and the combat system and everything. Then when the game comes out, you're- you can hit the ground running a lot more. And you really- it really does help too,

because the first like, I don't know, 20 minutes I was playing that game, I was super rusty. It takes a while to get back into it, you know, it's kind of a unique play style that game. Right. And I agree, it was a torturous as a parent to play. I don't wanna, I think we probably talked about this last week, but yeah, at the very end, you mentioned it.

It's a very mean game to make a dad play Especially as a daughter, but but did you like the story? No, I did have to play it Yeah, I mean, that's It is what it is. It's that I think it was anything wrong with it. Why was there something wrong with it? No, no, I thought it was great It I It reminded me there's a mechanic in that game that I hate and I always hated in the first game But it's I think why I hated is why the game is mechanic in that game that I hate, and I always hate it in the first game, but I think why I hate it is why the game is good, and that's that goddamn timer.

Everything happens on a timer, and so it's so stressful. I get so stressed out looking at my watch going like, oh my god, I've only got two hours until the military arrives. I've got to do four things, what am I going to do? And it drives me nuts, and it makes me all jittery and nervous, but I think that's what I mean that's the strength of the game right yeah I had a little bit of trouble with the last guy you have to fight before you escape jid took me a few playthroughs to figure out how to get him took me and even then I barely beat him so how'd you got your beat him I'm I determined that the best

way is to load up on guns and just stay as far away from as possible and it's like move around between it while he's feeding and then stop to. And then if you get low on health, you can go inside and go into the little area that has orange juice and just grab the orange juice. I think what oh, you can go back inside. I never thought about that. Yeah, you can go inside and then just like chug an orange juice and go back out. So I think I had an assault rifle and then all food other than that.

And I would shoot him. Then if I got hit, I'd go and hide eat and then come back out and shoot him. Then I ran out of bullets and I had to pick up the sledgehammer and I yeah, I want assault rifles not gonna do it No, I'm going in for melee. It's not fun with that guy because he's got that fucking pitch fork. Yeah, it's not cool also I thought melee weapons to kind of suck like I beat him the for I've had to beat him twice the first time I beat him with a broad sword and the second time I beat him with bullets was way easier to beat him with bullets I felt like the bullet should do more damage

I put fucking 60 rounds to that motherfucker and he was like at half hell. Dude, there's a fucking tank on his back. That's gotta be explosive, right? I kept trying to shoot it. I thought that was like the key to like, yeah, easy victory, you know, shoot the tank on the back. Nope, apparently not.

Apparently you can carry an ascettling tank on your back and not worry about it exploding. It also helps if you're at higher level because then you're a little stronger and can do a little more damage. Yeah, I think the first time being on level four. Oh, yeah. But yeah, I wish they would let you, well,

like it's level five's plenty. I wish you could advance a little more. I think it's a pretty successful thing for them. I read this morning that the game sold like 320,000 copies in the first week. That's pretty good. Yeah, that's really good. Considering it's, you know,

they probably have everything built out. It's probably just like an extra You know they have like they made the game anyway. They probably have all these models and right everything You know why not ship at a little taste of it five bucks ahead of time So the development time on it was you know cut way down right I probably didn't cost them very much to make either and it was also really cool that they priced it so cheaply too Yeah, it was five dollars which for an Xbox live game of, I don't know, that depth should have been 12, 10, 12th probably. I don't know if I could go that high.

It's short. Oh, yeah, but there's so much replay value. That's true. I want to go back and replay it. Yeah, I started a second replay just so I could top off and hit level 5 and then I stopped. And there's like five endings too, so if you want to see all the endings, you can go through and do all that. I guess anything about that. Yeah, so we laugh another

No, I'm just a persuasive argument. You just want That's how I roll gruffin. It's like the McLaughlin group but video games When you guys aren't yelling at each other at the moment, so that's true. Yeah So what else is going on Gus? We got a I guess I should give our requisite plug. We got the Red, Red, Blue, Revelation, and recollection DVD coming out next week. Yeah, I'm pretty excited about that.

In store, September 14th. Yes. And on our website. Yeah, and on our website. You can pre-order it now if you'd like, or just wait till the day it comes on by then. You can use this link. Oh, hey, I got one more thing I want to say about Pax.

What's up? Big thanks to Caleb. Yeah, Pp. Caleb again. Is he Caleb again? Yeah, okay? Big thanks to Caleb who helped us run the booth who actually pretty much ran the booth. Yeah, he was a tremendous help. Caleb was a bomb Yeah, that kids I know he's hard to look at And there's not much Conversationally, but he's really good at running a booth. He did a great job. Mm-hmm It was a good times we've middle, uh, we had a lot of people from the community come by the booth and,

and talk. I felt really bad because on Friday after the panel, we had a pretty serious line form at the booth and, uh, we couldn't spend as much time talking to people as we would have preferred to. Yeah, that sucked. I think people were waiting and, a lot, people had to wait in line an hour to buy a DVD at the booth. Oh really?

Yeah, there's never had anything like that before. It was fucking ridiculous. It was crazy. It was like a line that went down the convention hall and like wrapped around by the bathroom. Wow. Yeah, it was pretty intense. And we were trying really hard to get through it. And like I said, you know, not be rude to people. Yeah, people waited in line a fucking hour. You know, you don't, you don't, you want to dedicate some time to them. But then it's like, I feel bad for the person at the back of the line. It was not gonna wait an hour. Yeah, yeah It's a really really tough situation

Well, but people are really cool. I mean, I don't think anyone really got too agitated people I'm sure left the line and came back later. We didn't have a line on Sunday So everyone got what they wanted. I hope but I'm not actually helping some ways because um Sunday's usually a little slower right because people have already blown a lot of their money in yeah Yeah, Sundays at packs are kind of a weird phenomenon like most conventions Sunday will be slower like comic conference But it's not that slow pack Sundays are usually kind of dead but Yeah, it was it wasn't that dead this time. No, not at all. Yeah, it a pretty good day actually

But but yeah, luckily no lines. I'm really jealous. I'm trying to be nice I've been trying I've been kind of like telling people not to tell me how great it was in the office. I'm politely listening now, but. And I was terrible. You know what I mean? There it is, or what? And I was trying to like say money

and like hang up at the house and get stuff done, but I got a babysitter just because I wanted to like feel like I was doing something fun while you guys were having that party. Of course. And so I went and I saw an inception in an empty theater by myself, because I hadn't seen it yet. I always see

movies like after no one cares about them anymore and like there's no like vibe. You know like you go to a theater when it's opening and you have like everyone's excited and you have like this whole like energy level and I never get that. Right. Like you were mad that I saw Borat when it came out so you went and saw it by yourself but you really saw it by yourself. Yeah. It was like a month after I came out so it was you alone in the theater watching Borat. Yeah, I feel weird when I would laugh because an employee would come in and just look at me.

They're disgusting. I feel like that was the day that theater was empty except for me, so it's like they have to work when they normally would just be like fucking off and talking. Well, what theater did you watch, inception at? I had to go, it wasn't in the Alamo anymore. It wasn't like, it's not a cool movie right now,

I mean, it's a little older, and there's like one showing left at the Alamo South, so I went way down to like South Park Meadows. Oh wow, wow. Yeah. Well, sorry to hear that. If you'd like, we are talking about, as a company, running out a small theater

to watch JackS 3D together, so you're invited to that. Oh, I can go that one. Yeah, we'll get a babysitter for that one. Awesome. Is that, you're not gonna take a mille to watch JackS 3D together. So you're invited to that. Oh, I can go that one. Yeah, we'll get a babysitter for that one. Awesome. Is that something you're not gonna take me lead to watch it? No, he's not the kind of kid that should see that movie. That would be a two hours of good ideas to her. I'm gonna ask you to do that.

No, I don't need that. What is JackS 3? You come out like in October or something? Yeah, sometime in October. That fucking trailer with the high five bit at the end. It's so awesome. It's a buddies that I've ever seen in my entire life. Yeah, like you were thinking like how are they gonna talk to you and like the? The

Yeah, dude that's Especially when they make we men stand on the chair It's good times we so we're moving the Saturday, right? That's the room right maybe you get the fuck out here today, dude before our office floats away. Yeah, I guess we were flying back from packs I guess the night we came back A hurricane hit like Mexico or something and then like came straight up to Austin and it's sat and it's been raining non-stop we have it's like We've spent so many leaks in our server closet here in the office that I feel like I'm in an old German U-boat like getting a gift card

by the allies. It's like, oh, you know, I'm trying to find like pans and like shovel water out of there. That was pretty serious. It's pretty bad. Like the weird thing is like watching the paint like that's like some kind of sealant or whatever. The paint is just like filling with water like it's stretching away from the the sheet rock and it's just like like a bowl I walked in yesterday morning to that. I walked in and I looked in the closet and I saw there was water dripping everywhere. Like you said, like those pockets of water in the paint. And I walked over to Matt who's sitting like four feet away from the closet and he goes,

Hey, Matt did you see this water dripping all in the closet? He goes, Yeah, what's up with that? Not at all concerned. Not as water dripping all around of our very expensive exerverade. So I had to go and I collected buckets and like I was like dumping shit out of containers trying to find anything I could to collect water. You came in to get our help yesterday and like you just came in and you were like speechless for a second.

You're like I storage closet. There's so much water. Last night I think it was after you left. You're like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I me issue this okay, so we've been in this office for three and a half years now approximately And a little less than three and a half we've been okay, right? No major problems We decided to move this week and this fucking week the most important room in the company the server room gets 19 leaks in it How's that possible? It's crazy and also someone took a dump at the back door Oh Man, there's a nasty as stinky as a dump at the back door. Oh, that's kind of the yesterday. Oh, God. It was awesome. Oh, man.

It was so cool. There's a nasty, stinkiest dump out there. It was genuine, human. It was like an elephant took a shit in our doorway. And Brandon pointed out to you. It wasn't like he was like the worst thing. I understand that like a homeless guy needs to find a place to go to the bathroom.

But he could have at least stood still. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty terrible. That's gross. Yeah, it was really well I felt it was like it was like a going away present because when we moved in we found a giant turd and a condom out there Oh, that's right. I'll use right next to each other

Oh, you I'm gonna take a shit and fuck tonight It's like yesterday when to get coffee at the bed They hadn't the front was like locked up like the gate was that so I had to go at the back And I knew that that was down there and then you gave me your keys But you have this like you've like janitor keys and I as far as I can tell the only three of them go to anything. So you have all these keys and they all look the same so it's like holding my breath for like 30 seconds trying to find the right key like trying every one of them. Yeah I had no idea what all those keys do. People keep giving me keys and I put them on my

ring. I think like five of them are for the new office but then that's all getting re-keyed so they're all gonna be worthless. So I don't know Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous You're ridiculous So yeah, we'll be that's it. You know, we're getting out of here. We'll get the new office this weekend Starting next week, I guess moving on 9-11. Mm-hmm. That seems inappropriate to me Those are really we're showing no, you know what the terrorists they didn't win We're living our life if we're living it. We're moving forward If we don't move on 9-11, then the terrorist one. Exactly.

That's a very good point. It's a Patriot. I'm going to wear red light and blue. Yeah, we're doing our way to the Democratic duty. There you go. But I'm really, really excited to get out of here. I'm sure we've set that a million times over the last few podcasts. Yeah, I'm going to miss downtown.

And I like how close it is to our respective houses. And I like all the food options. And how women don't wear a lot of clothes in the summer and they walk around downtown a lot. But I am definitely going to appreciate the space and hopefully no dumps in the door with. Hopefully not. Well, we have a gate.

Or we'll find out that it was one of us the entire time. That's the reason this window was a homeless person. I, uh, yeah. I suspect Monty. Can can't tell it like I yeah I uh when I came in last night you had to move the equipment away from the water and uh I was like oh did you see that giant dump outside the the door Monty he was like no but you see that salamander over there that's crazy right I was like it was like a weird deflection

he's like yeah dumps those aren't crazy we know it's crazy salamander what is the time I gotta go'm gonna get back to this render How did you not notice did he ever did he use the back door always? I think he probably came in the front door right cuz he came later. Yeah, that's probably fine It was gone this morning so somebody collected it I think the herd came that passed through probably washed it away. Good Lord dude. It was Crazy how much it was raining my basement flooded did it does occasionally like when it rains really bad our four chickens like we haven't really prepared We just sort of have they didn't have a roof or anything on the coop and they've just been like wet for three days

Well, they had they had three places they had three overhangs Well, they're not like they're not intelligent. They're just not brilliant No, like they don't they don't move when the rain starts coming. They just look pitiful So given an hour last night at like 11 p.m Like the chickens had had enough so we went out and made like a plywood roof for them. Yeah, building a roof like in the pouring rain And it was rough That sounds terrible still no fucking eggs either Well, maybe if you maybe add a roof over their head maybe now you're fine. I think care of them

This is Texas dude. It's the first time it's rained all year I had a roof over their head. Maybe now, you're fine to take care of them. This is Texas dude, it's the first time it's rained all year. It really is, it's the first time it's rained all year. It's actually been a pretty rainy summer. You're a rainy summer. You have, actually I think you miss a lot of the rain because every time it's been raining,

you've been out of town. Yeah, I've been gone a lot. Who are you been going? He doesn't been going anywhere for work. I'll tell you that right now. Oh shit. I'd said sure, I went to Bungie and Comic-Con. And we were gone in London for two weeks.

She was with you for that one, so she knows that one's not a lot. So there's no secret family, I thought I should know that. No, no, no secret. See, I don't understand that. Like, why would anyone have a secret family? Like, why would anyone go and get married to somebody else and raise other kids? I think it's so exhausting to, like, just to, not just a family, but you go to work and then you get home and then you're just trying to keep your house clean and like get your kid to bed and like

why would anyone want to do that to them some of them so twice and keep up the stress of like trying to no I totally totally agree like having families in multiple towns just have like 10 mistresses that would be way easier to deal with really I would think so. I mean come on and then you have to deal with the fact that you're a shitty dad half the year because you're not putting your kid in Wisconsin to bed. You're putting your kid in Texas to bed. Or vice versa. Well, I don't know if the guys who have multiple families

are thinking, oh man, I'm kind of a shitty dad. You know, they're so... I gotta play catch a little more. I'm probably like, I've got so much daddy to go around, but I gotta, you know, spread'm sped my seed I'm sure it's exactly what they're thinking. Yeah, I do see it like I just got creeped out. Yeah, it's a little creepy So Did you hear the other day? I'm a little shocked by this. I'm gonna bring it back to video games, okay?

The I guess a couple weeks ago I read this This interview. I guess where they were taught where someone was talking to I read this interview, I guess, where someone was talking to a developer over at Blizzard. And they said that now that StarCraft II, wings of Liberty, has shipped, they have started hardcore development on Hard of the Swarm. Just started? We're just now getting serious about breaking ground on Hard of the Swarm. So how far out is that going to be then? I don't know.

Because I mean, it took 10 years to make Struckraft 2. We always have a lot of ideas and there's been some design work on it, but hardcore art and programming is just now starting to begin. Well, one would assume the development time on that game would be significantly less because they've spent 10 years building the system for wings of liberty, right? Yeah, but they were making the game at the same fucking time. That's got to put it two or three years out probably. Right. I was expecting it like later this year or next year.

Yeah, I was thinking next spring. Why do why why would you think that? Just out of curiosity. We've been ticked ten years to get the second one. Why would you think we have to have the second one? Because the frameworks already done. They just have to make you know the campaign. Yeah, plus they made they made Starcraft one and then they decided that

Starcraft 2 was such a big game that we're going to release it in three chunks. And so we expect those three chunks to be released like kill, build, style. Yeah, right. That makes us. For four months to a year apart, not another decade. We, you might not live long enough to play on. Yeah, maybe not. It was a Rob Parto Blizzard, Blizzard to design boss. I don't know what his actual title is. Maybe it's actually design boss. Design boss is awesome. But man, I can't believe it's gonna be that fucking long.

Or maybe it's just all a hit pay, who knows. Yeah, that's possible. So let's see guys got going on. Last night we stayed up until 2.30 in the morning watching... We watched three documentaries. But you watched? Well, we were working on projects and just letting them run. Jeff was working on video games.

He wasn't watching this one, but I watched the biography on H.H. Holmes for American Zero Killer, serial killer. And they had never heard of him. Yeah, that's the thing. He killed, well, they confirmed about nine killings, probably. But they think it might have been 50 to 100 because it was during the Chicago World's Fair, and he was able to get a furnace and like this crazy mansion he built with all these chambers and things like the torture and like

the body. It sounds like saw. Yeah, and he made money selling their skeletons to like like research like institute like if hospitals and whatnot. Wow. Yeah. Anyways, he would lure like because it was a Chicago World's Fair like and back then the communication wasn't as quick so people would come to town They're frown the frill it was another they were going but they wouldn't know where they were gonna stay or anything, you know and then And then you know like they'd have no like there was they're just not traceable So there's no way of knowing like how many people he killed but like Jack the River gets who is killing around the same time like Everyone knows he got all the credit and he's he killed about like five people

Yeah, it wasn't nearly as many as the potentially 50 to 100 that H. H. Holmes did I wonder if it's because This is kind of gross, but like because the Jack the Ripper left a lot of like gruesome bodies and like blood splattery walls And like an H. H. H. Holmes covered his you know like covered his tracks. Yeah a little bit more I mean not they still found bodies, but it wasn't as you know I think you're on to something there. It's like that's the that's with serial killing, right? Like if you want to get all the glory, you have to get flashy killer, right? You have to make a big mess and do that whole thing. But if you want to be like,

if you just want to be the best serial killer you can be, then you're going to cover your tracks and you're going to get rid of the bodies so that nobody can find them. And then you don't get any credit. When you know what brought them down, he insurance fraud. He pulled like an insurance scheme, because he was also a scammer who's a con artist and that was

what like the pinkerton's like went after him for and they're like oh and he also killed all these people in this trail of bodies but like they were just after him because he like was doing some insurance scamming you got greedy and fuck them up yeah yeah he could have just been like in a skeleton selling business and been fine he wanted he had to go back and still be killing today. I know it's not funny. Nilly watched a documentary on corn.

Yeah. Riveting. It was actually pretty interesting. And I've been kind of into food documentaries lately. So like a botany desire is awesome. This is all about how this room is all about how corn is killing everybody essentially. Oh really? Well, and just like government stuff making this like system people like over producing

corn and like cheap corn and like you want to get the highest yield to see you genetically modify this corn and it becomes something else that's not nutritious anymore. It's incredible. There's so much of it they have to do something with it so they have to make like corn serfs and that kind of thing. So if you go to McDonald's every single part of that meal is pretty much corn. I can't be good for you. Even like the hamburger and yeah everything?

Well because the beef are all corn-fed. Oh. Yeah, and like the cattle are like, I'm sorry, this is, but they're like pinned up because they want them to get like sattie. And then they're fed corn, which they shouldn't just eat a ton of, and they have all these like massive like holes and pockets and they get sick and like. It's like this.

This is great talk right before lunch. Okay, that's, what was the other document here you watched? Oh, right, we have. I hope it was less gross. No, not really. It was a capitalism-alive story. Oh, I've seen that one in Netflix stream. I haven't watched it, but I've seen it. It's pretty sad.

We fell asleep most of the way through, but it was, yeah. I don't know, and it's not even, I think, capital, I mean, I don't want to get into it. There you go. After the ring in endorsement that you and just could give cooking cowboys a couple weeks ago I watched that last night and did you like it? It's pretty good. It's interesting. Yeah, really really interesting It's I mean, it's very sensational, but and some of it's super sad but Like all the murder like the kids getting murdered and stuff, but it's interesting to see it like how

integral drugs were to the success of Miami. Or just building the city, right? Literally building the city. Yeah, that's pretty crazy. I was speaking to people dying. You and I had the weirdest thing happen to us. Oh my God. We were walking down the street.

Was it second street? Yeah, I think it was second. On Friday or Saturday night, we were walking down second street. And there was a dude on the ground and the cops were like, he was fucked up somehow. And the cops were like arresting him and taking him to the hospital at the same time it looked like and we were like, wow, that was really weird. The next block, I'm not kidding, the next block,

there was a dude on the ground like having seizures and there were paramedics attending to him and we were like, what are the odds of we would see that twice in the whole night? The next block, there was another guy on the ground, completely unresponsive, and somebody, some parametic interviewing him, CPR. This seems like an intro to a movie,

but I'm not mad at it. I thought it was the happening or something. It was like the beginning of a zombie movie. It's like people are falling down. No one knows. Yeah, like everyone in the city is starting to get affected. It was fucking crazy. I'm glad you guys got out of Seattle before it was too late.

Man, every time we go to Seattle, I feel like that city's trying to kill me. Yeah, you guys almost had that tree fall on you that one time. Yeah, and we had that crazy storm, all that stuff. We had the lights go out in our hotel. And it was also related to that same storm. Yeah, that's crazy. So you went, you, okay, just getting less crazy. It was like one storm and some people having seizures.

Why, if you were there, it would be crazy. You were there. You don't know what happened. You can't judge. Well, I was having a crazy time watching movies by myself, so it's sour grapes talking. Man, I'm so excited for each next week. I can't wait. Oh, right. We should talk about that. Halo beats coming out next week. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Awesome. We're glad we covered that. Yeah, I'm really excited to play it. We comes out on the 14th, what is that Tuesday?

Yes. Are you guys doing any kind of like play date thing for it? We haven't announced anything, but that's not a bad idea. That's probably a pretty good idea. I mean, I have a feeling it'll just be like a constant play date because we'll all be online on 25th. Yeah, but if you make an event, then it's like a party. Make you an event.

I don't know what that means. Yeah, I don't. But it sounds like work. Yeah. Yeah, we'll be playing Hayler Ridge when it comes out. Did you hear that it's particularly at Blockbuster? It's going to file for bankruptcy? They already did. I thought they filed chapter 11. Did they? Yeah, or they're they're in the process of filing chapter 11. Yeah, I must have missed the the news then. I'm surprised that it's even still open couldn't Couldn't have happened to a more deserving company if you ask me. Yeah, there's so many cute little videos for it

Like in our my town well in Carvales, Oregon that shut down because of blackbuster and Hollywood moving into town So that's hard to feel bad for them. Well, not just that, but I mean there is that right like they came in and they wall-marted They had their day every city in America and they put a lot of local businesses out. But also, they were so like, arrogantly against technology and advancing technology and taking advantage of opportunities like Redbox and Netflix as they were developing and they deserve to go out of business. And now they're struggling. Like they have a streaming thing, they have like a red box competitor and all that other stuff

They're trying to all that stuff. Yeah, but they're so far behind. There's no way they're gonna survive and they should I mean if you if you don't innovate you should die There were there were people were I mean it was obvious that The direction was going towards digital distribution. Mm-hmm or you know mail and distribution and they just refused to adopt it And they finally did like three or four years too late somewhere there's some asshole CEO of Blockbuster who Anyway, who's a jerk? Okay, apparently they have a billion dollars in debt That they're trying to get out of people don't pay their late fees

If only people if only people forgot to rewind more they'd have that money you know If only people forgot to rewind more, they'd have that money. You know what? When I went when I was doing the... No one was in the podcast, I can understand that. Yeah, no, it was just for... When I was doing the contest with Bernie to get 10,000 game rescorer in a week, I went to the local video store, it was actually Hollywood video, to rent some games that I needed to flush out my collection.

And I realized it was the first time I'd been in a video store and probably seven or eight years and it was like walking into the past. Yeah, really weird. It's kind of a creepy feeling almost like. Yeah, if you haven't been to a video store in five or ten years, you should do it just to see it's really weird. I went to that Hollywood video when they were shutting it down and selling everything including the fixtures inside of it. Yeah, they were selling like everything dude. You're sad. It was pretty sad how often they're to kind of depressing.

It was also like a flea market. It was really weird people were like fucking elbowing each other and... It's true, it's true. It's weird. We don't understand. No, I want the magazine stand. It was really weird. Do you guys ever get nostalgic for tapes?

No, never. But you're just talking about rewinding and I remember we got like a VC... Like we had one of those like a rewinders, you just bought just a rewinding, deri, re-achist tips because it was bad for your VCR. And I was, I remember being so like excited. I'm like, now I can rewind and watch start watching this movie right away.

I don't have the weight for this one to rewind for a second. Like, how fucking interesting. I'm talking to patients, you have to be like, I can't wait four minutes. No, but you wouldn't be able to wait four minutes now. Like now everything's so insane. You're in a patient, you are so inpatient. I'm so bad. Why are you giving me shit for this? Super patient. No, no. I can't believe you. No, inpatient. Yeah, but that's the thing about like

tapes and I kind of studied like the waiting and rewinding and like, oh, I want to show you the scene, but I'd have to like spend 10 minutes looking for it. Yeah, waiting for no reason. Fast forward. Is it here? No. Oh, fuck, I passed rewind. And you couldn't see anything anyway. No chapter skip. And fucking you're trying to pause it and it be all terrible looking. Yeah. Speaking of watching stuff, I have a new favorite TV show. Oh yeah. White bout. It's the best. Have you ever seen it? Yeah. Oh, it's so terrible. It's awesome. You finally cut on. It's just people getting hit in the head for an hour. It's so fantastic. I think I've ever sat down to watch that show, but I've watched like Flip it to your child's like, oh, you guys this is it. No dude, I watch it. I seek it out. I watch it on Hulu. I watch it on Hulu plus on my phone. It's like it's my

new. I watch episodes over again. The thing you're like, hey there's a new season. I'm like, so it's gonna be the same like a bunch of people you don't know. Well, sometimes they jump into a course up. I come up with new ways to torture people, and people are also obnoxious and annoying that you really wanna see them get hurt. It's really great. Yeah. I, I don't, I, not, I'm not judging,

but I don't get like the entertainment value watching somebody hurt themselves. Why are you gonna go watch Jackass then? Oh, shit. I had a little thing for Aponius. No, I'm sorry. Until you got his snake, until you got his dick bit off for Apontius. No, God. Until he got his dick bit off my ass. Snake and Jack asked to.

Well, that was stupid. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah. Yeah. Now he's in any. Hey, I see you've got the new Xbox controller up on your computers there. Yeah, something we were just talking about.

Yeah, we can talk about that. We're not. OK. I guess Microsoft has a new, is this out yet? No, it comes November 9. I saw it in the wild at Paxla. Yeah, it's, I guess they are going to release a new controller that has a pop-up D-pad.

I don't get it. You're going to see going to make like the border behind the D-pad become recessed. Have you ever felt the need for that? The only time... The... My biggest complaint with Pac-Man CE was the diagonals. You're 100% correct.

That would have been great for Pac-Man CE, you're 100% correct. That was the biggest problem with that game. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Of course, that was the Xbox Live arcade game, Pac-Man Championship Edition. It's probably one of those things too, where like, it doesn't seem important or Necessary to me at all, but the first time I use it, I'll be like, how did I ever survive with the D-pad the way it used to be? Right.

So. I guess they're gonna sell it. I was gonna say November 9th for 65 bucks. It kind of comes with a charge kit. That's cool. We saw a couple of them already. I don't know why I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. No, they were packaged and ready to go. I think somebody else in or someone was giving them out at packs. I wish it wasn't coming out literally two months after Halo reached because the reach Xbox is going to come with two brand new controllers that'll, I mean, if that if you adopt this D pad technology will now be obsolete in like five weeks after you buy it. Yeah, but come on. If you're dropping money for a limited edition console, are you really gonna? You read about the money. Yeah, that's a good point.

Yeah, about a $65 controller. Yeah, it's good. There's $600. Well, yeah, it comes with a playing charge. I didn't know that. So next time you throw in and smash it in the wall, I'll say that. No, no, this one comes with a playing charge. The one I smashed the other day was $40. That's the one that had the good like chatpad or whatever on it. Do you break the chatpad? No, I didn't have the chat pad on it.

No chat pad was yes, it's on the desk. But I did I did smash the shit out of a controller or it worked the other day. What happened? I don't remember what game I was playing. Do you remember? Oh, it was a fuck what was that game? That is something a good game. It doesn't sound like a game. No, I don't remember the game. But I was having a I was trying to capture something and I was having a ton of trouble and I got I don't really I don't very often get frustrated to the level of violence, but I got so mad I threw a controller across the room and shattered it Wow, and then felt bad for the controller because it was it's it's it's the controller fault the game. It's true. I'm gonna I'm gonna peel off and see if I can figure out what game it's because I can't

remember I'll like it's just you and me no Griffin hey there just got more important things to do right he should have been prepared for this no no making out I gotta stay so close to the mic in here I don't think I'm making out with is this microphone well that's how I make that's why make out noise this is what I was gonna to talk about. You're moving to the new office and you are about to have an actual dedicated drug tank area. It's only for the drug tank and isn't going to be overlapping in other people's projects

and stuff. But I was just listening to these chairs. You need some quiet chairs. Yeah, some of these chairs are the worst. Just chairs. Yeah, it, particularly bad. I figured out what game it was, and now I'm mad again. What was it?

It was fucking Mafia 2, which is a great game, but there's this wanted poster. It's the only wanted poster that's fucked up like this. They put it on the roof of a building, and the only way to get to it is to drive your car off and overpass and land your car onto it. But you have to be going 60 miles an hour to be fast enough to get to the roof, and there's snow on the roof.

So as soon as you get there, you just skid right the fuck off. So you have to do it at an angle that you run right into a chimney, and then, but if you hit the chimney, you bounce to the left or to the right. It's up, it was a fucking thing. It's like, why would you put a bug-wanted poster up? It's like, I don't know. I don't know. Follows the rooftop bounty hunters. It was super frustrating though. They were planning for the future and crack down when the ages would be jumping roof to roof.

They would go to the water post and then they would go to watch. Crack down? Yeah. I like watching you play that. I mean, it's funny. There's some games that are just really entertaining just to like not even participate in just to like see them happen. I grew that. I think I could watch anybody play a grand theft auto game

and just sit and watch it be totally fine. Just entertaining. Not you. No. I'm not a friend of those. I mean we've been over this over and over. I'm not a fan of the sandbox games. I can also watch Mass Effect. I found that interesting. I don't want to play that again. I've intentionally not played any of the DLC so that later I can just play it all at once. Yeah, I was going to say Shadowbroker just came out yesterday. You shouldn't play that. Nope, I'm waiting. Okay.

You're going to have Windows Mass Effect 3 come out. Uh, I'm going to guess like late next year. Dragon Age 2 comes out next spring. I'm assuming they're not going to want to have their two titles compete. Dragon Age this past one came out in October or November. Yeah. Mass Effect came out in January. So it's a two or three month difference. Not not too long. I'm saying it's gonna be like you'll probably see it be a quarter separated. So I would assume it'll be out like summer or fall next year. I'm looking it up. I don't know if they've even announced that.

Whoa. Oh, it's Mass Effect 2. Mass Effect 3 TBA 2011. There you go. Man, there's a lot of gains coming in 2011. Hey, did you get a chance to go look at Portal 2? Uh, when you were at Paxi? No, I had an appointment to do it, but we got tied up with working. Oh, yeah. Um, this is just a little side question. Guess you have an Atari? Um, not maybe. I don't know, I might. Okay, because I was federal and Craigslist and I was thinking about getting it for the achievement in our office just kind of to have for fun. See the problem with an Atari though is that there's no achievements in it. No, I know, but it's just I think, I don't know, like, because you're going to have like

the certain area that's just for like fun with the television and like, I just thought it'd be fun to have some like old games. It's also difficult to hook up an Atari to a modern TV. Oh really? Is that true? Yeah, I didn't think about that. The video input runs from you remember the video it has like those two little forks that you had to screw in to like your UHF input? Oh, that's right.

You might be able to find at Fry's like UHF to coax adapter, but it's going to be, you have to hunt down some parts to get that thing. I might do it because it's actually a good price and it comes with a whole bunch of controllers and tons of games Like it has a whole case of them. I just might be I don't know. It might be worth it. What do you think? Sure? I might do it. Okay. Be a fun little project It's one of the things that you know a game system that was so influential and like pervasive could be difficult to play now like it could be difficult to hook up and actually get video out of it Because it's so old now. Yeah, it's like it's like

Well, I don't want to go into the whole John Tider thing, but It's kind of weird to think that that like that technology is So obsolete. It's kind of it's almost lost to us right and it will be in like another 10 years It'll be goddamn the impossible you remember the one time about the video camera I had those little yeah, that's a little silver fork that always broke and you always had to fucking supplies Like that wire with a knife and then like to get the copper out and like wrap it around the screw and tighten it down Oh, it's the fucking worst it's kind of funny you and I were looking at somebody had a autograph on NES I'll be around packs and we were looking at, and I didn't know as the NES had one audio and one video.

It was like mono out. Yeah, it was really weird. It's crazy how fast the technology has changed this last 25 years or so. Yeah, crazy to a quarter century, what? Well, it's kind of like with record players, like even if you, for fun, you have one to be nostalgic. If you break a needle, you're fucked. Like, where are you going to get a needle for a record player? even if you for fun you have one to be nostalgic if you break a needle You're fucked like where are you gonna get a needle for a record player?

I think you still find them Really? They're like expensive, don't they? Needlewarehouseonline.com No, but I mean the point I'm not that I want to get a record player But like the point just like at some point yeah, even if you wanted something for a novelty It's just too much of a hassle to get together right Just like VHS players

Well, I don't even want to be a chess player for fun. Right. Just like VHS players. Mm-hmm. Well, I don't even want to VHS player for fun. You just want to VHS your Winder. That's what she does for fun, to calm down at the end of her day. She just goes and puts tape in, rewinds, and sits there. Actually, it's kind of sad. I have a bunch of mixed tapes from high school. And you are really honest.

I know what you're talking about, whatever. Whatever. This is what I can contribute. Yeah, now I just have, like, just consent, things I can't get rid of because they're like mixes and like, I don't know, just stuff that I'm nostalgic for. But I don't have a tape player and they're impossible to find, like, where do you find them? Actually, that's the boom box that we used

for the last short, I found it a pawn shop and they had a tape deck on it. So they did steal it. Yeah, either pawn shop or time machine probably is your best bet. I'm sure you can find them at a Craigslist or a few more dollars. I'm not going to talk anymore. Well, yeah, if I wanted to put effort into it, sure. I could probably get that together.

Never mind. I'm not going to talk anymore. You could probably order one off of Amazon. Oh, you bet to quit the podcast like Jack. I'm just going to go out in the corner. I'm going to fulfill the Jack role. Hey, speaking of fulfilling the Jack role, we should go eat. Oh, that's a good idea.

I'll buy the way we should mention that Jack died. Oh yeah, where is Jack? He gets stuck in. He still couldn't. Yeah. You know, I lost my voice after the party on Saturday, and it's only now starting to come back. I still feel like it's not quite back.

And the fact that my voice is still gone, and I know Jack has strapped, but it has made me really nervous. Did you guys make out? See, he doesn't remember. That's the problem. That's the, yeah. Well, that was nobody knows. Maybe.

Like, I came home, Griffin goes, did you cheat on me? And I'm like, I don't think so. You said no, I wouldn't do that. I mean, I don't remember Saturday. But I honestly don't remember cheating on you. I just for the record, I was kidding. Oh, yeah, sure you are. No, I didn't, like, I didn't even ask you

because I don't want to know. OK. Oh, yeah, sure you are. No, I didn't, like. I didn't even ask you because I don't want to know. Okay, well, seriously, let's go, uh, let's get some food. Let's get food, but no corn fed beef, because I'm against it now. All right, there you go. Okay, well thanks for listening. Toodles.
