It's time to put your pedal to the metal. From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland, an executive producers, Will Arnet and Anthony Mackie comes the 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 Pika. Oh, no! Grunt and crud and Token the crazy shit. Just half-missy Just is a well-wanted I am I am I am really confused by that like I heard Jack is his replacement I got your good news replaced for you. You're gonna parody that song. Why do you put that filter on? I feel like I should check myself into a mental institution. Maybe it's to be like you know Hell from 2001 like the

Breaking voice they go business seem like the death breaking voice. There you go. If it doesn't seem like that's the voice of people here right before they like go crazy and shoot everybody. I guess the one that's in their heads. Well, that's definitely a great start to the podcast. Very uplifting. I'm ready to go.

I don't know about you guys. What's up, guys? How you doing, man? So Griffin walks into my office Monday. She goes. Oh my God. Hey, I accidentally spilled 11 gallons of therapy into my lap.

I don't remember her saying accidentally actually. Oh, I mean, I didn't. She's like, I spilled therapy into my lap top. I need a new one. And so I need you to go to the mall and buy me a new lap top. Oh, that's what I said. I said, you need to go buy me a and buy me a new a new laptop. Oh, that's what I said I said you need to go buy me a laptop right now because I spilled there I was like what did you have to fix it and you go doesn't matter. It's an old laptop. What do you care?

It's not like it's any good. It was only three years old and it was a MacBook Pro It was a great laptop. I don't you're trying me really badly here I didn't say that I had you to buy me a new one. I just got offendedant that you bulked at it. Yeah. I can vouch for everything Jeff is saying right now. By the way. Well, Jack hates me since the flashlight story anyway. So his opinion doesn't matter. So the how's your new MacBook Air treating you? It's great. I love it. You kept liquids away from it. I don't want you to come into the office and go hey, I accidentally spilled whiskey on my MacBook Air But it's okay. It was two weeks old and I heard they refresh the line anyway This is pretty exciting because I've never had my own like I've never had my own new laptop before

It's I've always had Jeff's hand me down so they're already like shit anyway Like you remember trying to make book for on my laptop when you finally had to like come help you with something You're like why does it take like what does it take 20 seconds. And then I alt tab then I noticed you had in design and Photoshop and word and Excel and mail and some art and aim and Skype and every other program in the world running at the exact same time and I go oh okay you oh here's what here's what she does when she turns on her computer. She hits apple shift a and it opens up applications She hits apple a and then

No, then apple oh apple oh and then just in case she ever needs a program. She knows it's already running Yeah, good. Just in the back. I'm saving time in the long run, but she's got plenty of RAM though It'll take her it'll take her 25 minutes to alt tab Do it but that's fine. You're full of shit No, that's true. No, and then we get to them we get to them all Gus you were there I was there and she's like I get me a good one I'm like okay, we can get this 13 inch Mac Macbook Air I think it's it's a sturdy laptop. It's gonna be you I

Love you to death you mother of my child, you're a great wife, awesome best friend, soulmate, put your shitty with equipment, you're terrible to technology, you're so tough on computers and all of those things, it's like you hate them. And so I get you the MacBook Air, because it has a solid state hard drive and I figure that's gonna be harder for her to break.

Let's move it apart, let's move it apart. Yeah, let's move it apart. And then you go there and you're like, I'll take this 13 inch model and I go, okay, and the guys like, do you want two gigs of RAM? Or if you want more, you're like I'll take this 13 inch model and I go okay and the guys like do you want two gigs of ram or if you want more you have to get it now because it's actually on the logic board So you can get two gigs of four gigs and I go two gigs is fine and you go

excuse me Why why are you would you get two gigs of ram or would you get four and I'm like I think two gigs is okay And you're like really in front of the guy and I'm like we'll take four gigs Then we come home and we're talking about it later and you go I Mean I have a lot of stuff to put on this computer. I'm I go I got to run all the applications And I realized that you thought I was jipping you on on hard drive space. Oh, yeah, I was totally confused I said no, but I know and then I saw I go, be good, two gigs doesn't sound like that much. And I go, do you remember that nice desktop

that got stolen that we had at home? That computer had two gigs of RAM and you go, oh, oh, well that was totally fun. Yeah. I don't need this. I just, I don't like the idea of not being able to expand later. And also it was my first time getting a new laptop and you were, I felt like you were jipping me. That's all. Oh, good. Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't know what I'm doing. You can open all of your applications and half of the time that you used to take you to open a wall. That's great.

I have a ZBrush, and I have a bunch of things that I just don't want to be in the position where my computer is unable to handle. You can duplicate your applications folder, then open every application twice. It would be awesome. Okay, should we move on? So if one copy of your work crashes, you can use your other copy of your work. It's like redundancy It's like I'm having trouble saving this file in Z brush and I go over and I go well. Why do you have I movie open? You know, well, I don't know what that is, but someday I might need it. I know what I'm

Anyway, anyway, and you're watching an episode of always sunny in iTunes The whole time your your old laptop had a pleasant pink lemonade smell after the thorough flu Yeah, why and it's weird too because at the moment it happened my speakers which haven't worked for like Your, uh, the whole time your your old laptop had a pleasant pink lemonade smell after the TheraFlu. Yeah, well, and it's weird too because at the moment it happened, my speakers which haven't worked for like two or three months, suddenly worked. It just like, they were for like half a verse of my computer like blipped out. That was a deck way. I was.

Yeah. It's saying a little built the spill. Before I died. No. It will just spill, huh? How, uh, how appropriate. Yeah. Hey, there's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Often you buy a new laptop and You hear old ones until they die, which is How often I had that laptop for three and a half years. So once every three and a half years I buy a laptop

That's fine, but I've never had anyone I always take your old ones and it's totally fine I've never complained about it and this one time I'm like okay. I need obviously need a computer to work Yeah, I don't think that I was being too awful sure No, of course then also you can mend a gust and you go I had a lot of stuff on the hard drive I need can I get it back and Gus goes I I don't know, it depends on how bad the fucking is the damages, how bad this bill is. And you go, well, what am I supposed to do? It's done.

I think you're supposed to not spill. They're a fool. I know I thought. I think you're all supposed to run time machine. We need to set you up with time machine, am I supposed to? Yeah, I also, I go, I go, well, this isn't a big deal. I know you had a lot of image research on that stuff on there

because when was last time you ran time machine? And you go, uh, if I didn't run it by accident, I've never run it there. It just wasn't one of those things that shows up in applications that you can mass Apple O. Yeah, it's weird because this one does it automatically all the time, which is fine except it just takes forever and then I don't interrupt, but like yesterday it was running for hours and hours and hours and I'm like, I don't even know what. Time was running for hours now or so I'm like I don't know what time machine or

I disk no this was time machine so you set up time machine I don't think I did guys where where where do you ask me a question did you have a hard drive plug into it oh yeah I did an external hard drive I did yeah I had the the first time it runs it takes a long time we're gonna have to get to the bottom of this. Yeah, actually the podcast will go and we'll make sure everything's also in there. Yes, you can be, you can see me. All right, cool, thanks. Give me a tutorial.

It'd be like fun zone. Well, she's running, she's running time. She's running time. Some reason it's only back in the Per Downloads folder, which is fine because nothing ever makes it out of her downloads folder. If you ever open it up, it's got 17,000 miles on it. Yeah, I just forget to clear it, but I take that shit out.

I do. Yeah. Are you over my shoulder all the fucking time? You don't even know what I'm doing. You've got no idea. I don't want to know. All I know is it costs me money. Costs us money.

Yeah, I work too. Whatever. That's true. So what's up Jack? How are you doing? I'm doing good, man. I had a rough night of wild last night though. What happened? So I've been trying to do some heroic stuff some heroic cataclysm stuff and I random into a group and that's where I just jump into a random pickup group and after about 40

minutes of waiting I finally got into one and we were in halls of origination of origination which I'd never run before and for some reason my DPS was just off, and immediately everyone in the group started ripping into me. They were like, six thousand, that's it. Come on, Major, suck. And it was like, fuck you guys, that was left, and I quit. And I was like, I'm done. How did I deal with that?

For some reason, I kept trying to sheep things, trying to crowd control, and they kept hitting it. And I'm like, what the fuck you guys do and stop hitting my sheep? And then, as I got right, screw it, I'm done. But after waiting almost an hour to get into a game, I finally got to know one. And immediately everyone was like, okay, you need to leave.

That's awful. That's goddamn it. So, I've never run into that yet. And I feel like my DPS is still kinda low. I'm still trying to gear up. But no one's really set it a thing. From my experience, as long as you don't fuck anything up royally and no kind of know the fights, no one will really give you too much. Yeah, I even said as soon as we walked in

I was like, hey, this is my first time through here. I'm still kind of a lower level 85. So, you know, Give me a chance and then immediately I'll just jump to me. It's like, I fuck you guys and I'm out of these awesome It was kind of surprising though. I was like wow. I didn't realize there's that like that kind of vitrilo They might have all also been from like where they all from the same server or say like they might have all cute up together That's true, and then just you know instantly ganged up on whoever whoever else they got aside from that drunk takes is going awesome We hit level 10. We're gonna hit I think we might hit a level 11 today and yeah, we had our first we got our first 25 man guild achievement on Monday night nice, which is pretty cool We only got one just cuz like we have to have 20 of 25 people in the guild to run the 25

managements and we manage it like we hold like 21 or 22 and then people kept dropping off so we kept dipping right underneath it. I think we ran with like 19 solid and it was like we just needed one more. Yeah. Anyway if you're out there and still playing while we're on Don Bringer, we're the drunk tanks. I hear there's a few people still playing while. Yeah. Yeah. So we're looking for more people. We've got to use more tanks in the ocean. I've do ever have you in kind of that before when people are rude i mean it's something you think you expect in like halo or something like that we're kids really the first time to that extent on wow that i've ever seen you so i mean usually like typically while

people are very friendly very willing to help you and stuff and this was just like these guys were just like fuck you it was kind of kind of shocking actually weird so i don't know i might just run might just run her os now with like guild. It's true, it's true. It's not all bad. I run, I run, I run in Herogs ever. Did she give it another shot? Yeah.

I run random Herogs, I think just about every day. Yeah. And I don't think I've ever had anything that bad. I'm at a point now where you start gearing up with Herogs stuff, so I need to start doing it anyway. The one time the worst it got in a pickup group I was in was the mage refused to sheep, the targets he was told to sheep. And the tank was like, for the love of God, can you please sheep that?

Let's get some crowd control. Yeah. But in the mage was like, what? But I mean, for what is worth it, like as soon as that happened, I pretty much logged off and watched like a 30 minute video of some British guy explaining how to be a good firemage. It was like, all right, maybe this is good for me to start, you know, reading up a little bit more. Yeah, reading up a little bit more. Yeah, so that was my wild experience last night.

After going to the gym, so it's not only just geeky stuff. I actually worked out last night too. Yeah, you could do like a treadmill, like wow situation. That's what did any of the... One of the pinnacle arcade guys has that set up at his house. So he's got a treadmill with a keyboard and everything. Did anybody at the gym go like only one forty five really buddy come on seriously? There's everybody else's been two hundred minimum here. What are you doing miles? Come on now?

There was a video I saw a long time ago a few years ago where these guys hooked up a treadmill to their computer So that they could Simulate the running in wow in real life. So in order to make their character walk a run, they had to walk a run on the treadmill. Oh wow. So like, and they walked from like the crossroads to Ashenvale or to Sturkey Post and Ashenvale, and the guy was just like dying so tired. But, yeah, it was, it was fun. What, I mean, wow, it's still a blast to play. Like, I honestly didn't think I'd have this much fun playing it, but it's been really, really cool. So, awesome. Yeah, I mean, while I was still a blast to play like I honestly didn't think I'd have this much fun playing it But it's been really really cool, so awesome. Yeah, I took my little hiatus between you know

I guess right after I started playing and then to now but do you have any professions? I am a I'm actually 525 both my professions. I'm alchemist and herbalism Okay, so yeah, and then on my my alt now I started a an alt goblin priest and I am tailoring and enchanting with that guy Well, that's a expensive combo. Yeah. Well, I figured I've got my you know I've got my 85s I can make money that way and then I can just mail money to my alt so that's true You you and Jeff are both just doing collection professions, right? Gus. Oh, no, I already hit 85 so I'm doing

Profession professions. Well, I had a lower level character like I made a goblin He was doing just collection. Okay. But then I also switched between him and another character I have that's already 85. And he he does like higher end stuff. Okay. Well, what do you what do you have again, Jeff? I have a hunter, undead hunter. Not professions. A profession? Erbilism and mining. So that's two collection ones. Are you all right? Yeah. It's a good way to make money. It looks like you just fell asleep. No, no, no, no. I just think about that. It's a big thing to think about. I've made about $1300 in the last week.

Nice. It's like $1300 gold. Gold. Sorry. I don't know what the dollar to gold exchange rate is. I don't know. Yeah. You can work that auction house, man, especially as an herbalism. Right now, herbalism. I mean like fire bloom, and vault life, and stuff like that people are a centiple. All that collection stuff, all that lower-level collection stuff, because all the higher-level people don't want to go back. Yeah, and go through that. So it's crazy how much that stuff goes from that lower-middle level stuff you can make a lot of money on. A lot of gold. But yeah. I like, wow. They'll like it. But yeah, Monday nights are gonna be our big 25 man raid night.

So if you wanna join and have Monday nights free, feel free to join the drunk tanks on Donbringer. Cool, ask for inchilada with two L. It seems like with the chill, you should be a frost mage. And yeah, yeah. I tried doing that for my ult. My ult does Nacho with two A's. Like I wanted to do Nacho, like three O's,

but it was like you can't, do you notice you can't create a character with more than two repeating letters? Really? Yeah, yeah, what do let me do it? I just wanted to have like an NH, you know, Nacho, but Alassa would not like, or Nacho, but. All right.

I didn't know that. There you go, a little while. Fact-finding mission. Character name trivia, so. We have something exciting going on at Cheapen Hunter starting today. What are you doing? We are releasing Dead Space 2 videos. Nice.

Yeah, a game comes out next Tuesday and we're actually releasing videos about a week early. So it's pretty cool. We got permission from E8 to actually release some stuff early and so we'll be doing it now. So you'll be kind of like a dead week which kicked off with Cheapen Hunter. Yeah, no. Yeah, dead week forever ago was one of the very first big things we did on the achievement hunter. And so it's very, it's very cool that we have Dead Space 2 again and we're able to release

some stuff early. So in the game is fantastic. I've played through, it's a third of it and it's really, really badass. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah, we can only shoot in certain levels for the early stuff. So I've played the same like four levels over no freaking just the reggae stuff Yeah, and shoot it better. I don't think this role or you will mind if we say that it's very scary god damn dude If you like the first game you're gonna love this game it the graphics the jump and graphics is incredible

Yeah, here it's pretty good. Yeah Jeff are you excited to play that space too? I am we're just going. I don't know. Guess is leaving the podcast Okay, sorry about that. I heard someone yelling outside and I wish you go see what it was. It was a A delivery person out there. So typical wild Wednesday at the drunk tank. Yeah, since since it's kind of weird I guess maybe since people are familiar with the geography of the office since we have You me and Jack in here that means that there's no one out by the front door right now. Yeah, cuz we're the downstairs Because we're the downstairs right? By the front door at least. Yeah, so I guess when the delivery person got here

He was confused So Jack's out dealing with all that stuff right now So did you see the portal to announcement for PS3 that I guess they're unveiling like their steam works platform. Yeah, you get like I glanced over it. There's cross platform compatibility, right? Yeah, well, you yeah, you can play from if you're playing on the PS3, you can play against or with I guess people on the PC and you also get a copy of the game force steam on the PC or Mac as well. Now, I always felt, and maybe I'm wrong, I'm correct, but I always felt if Valve was kind of,

I don't know if anti-PS3 is the way to say it, but. They were very down on it. Non-plus. Yeah. And I remember reading some things about how they found it, like, unnecessarily difficult to develop on the PS3. Yeah, they were kind of vocal about that.

Yeah, so it's weird that they did such a 180. I wonder what happened. Money probably changed. I think so. Yeah, I think I can't remember off the top of my head, but I think one of the other features was if you were playing and had a saved game on one of the platforms, it transfers to the other platforms. Wow, that's pretty cool.

So it's just like it's totally like platform ambiguous. Like wherever you sit down, your save file is as long as you're logged in. Yeah. But do you have to have like, is there a way to combine your steam account and your PS3 account? Yeah, I think you link them and that's how it does it. Like that's how it unlocks the free copy on PC or Mac and and that's how it coordinates your your save files Okay, that's cool. Hey, do you remember when you were playing a Metal Gear on?

on the PS3 do I and You went to go play online and they made you create a Account with I don't know if you can I mean account. Yeah, yeah, and then you had to link that to your PS3 account Because you can even play online does it still like that for all the games? I mean every game is different Like on an uncharted to I know you played on charted to multiplayer. No, I didn't have to do that. Okay, that's cool You just hop on man It's it's I guess it's a problem we haven't with society and I guess there's things like open ID that are trying to fix that

But God you it's unwieldy the amount of log-ins you have to have online these days. How many email addresses do you guys have? It's got four total, I think. I have one and then aliases, right? So about a bunch. Yeah, that's my problem. I have a few different email addresses, and over the years I've used different email

addresses. So like for example my steam account I which I set up got you know 12 years ago used an email address that I don't have access to anymore. So I have to update that and change it and I have no idea what email address I use lots of times. You know where I have that that's the absolute fucking worst iTunes. It's tied to my email address from our old tech company and there's nothing I can do gonna say. Come on, what is it? I'm gonna guess what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm checked on what was your a well ID I'm not gonna say come on Was it no I'm gonna Gus bus because I'm someone on the fucking podcast is gonna get my password is still on my Or buy a bunch of shit I'm gonna be like what the fuck is my credit card maxed out? Oh Fucking someone on the someone who listens to the podcast fucking bought every

Andy Williams album ever Andy Williams really Anybody listen to the podcast will just the Andy Williams album ever Andy Williams really Anybody listen to the podcast. I'll just the Andy Williams. They're gonna now right? It's gonna be a YouTube. It's gonna be a fucking Twitter trending topic. I love Andy Williams you and the god you and like every 90 year old. Yeah, pretty much. I bet he doesn't see many digital Digital sales and welcome back Jack. We let everyone know that you were getting a package from the delivery person outside. Yeah, no problem.

I'm back. How's the package? It's fantastic. Excellent. Nice. What am I? Is anything interesting? No, I was all terrible.

Okay. We're talking about how many email addresses do you have? Somewhere between five and ten. We're talking about how terrible it is. Having to authenticate with all these different services on the internet. Oh yeah, especially when you have multiple email addresses. No, or nothing's worse than forgetting that you had an account somewhere, and then you have to go back two years later

and try to figure out which address you signed up for, and then let your old password go. And then as more time goes on, you may not have access to an old email address, that's what we're talking about. We're rehashing. That's the rough. That's even happening in the Xbox. Not too.

EA, you have to have your EA account for some stuff from online authentication. You be soft, you have to have your, you play thing. It's, ugh. I hate that stuff, I know. Like, yeah. That's another example. I think my Xbox Live email address is an old email address. I don't even use anymore.

I think it's just for my Xbox Live. See, I don't mind that stuff when you get something for. Like, you play is pretty good about that because it's like an additional achievement system, but you can actually redeem the you play points for a reward you can use in-game. Like, I know, I think for Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, you can unlock a new multiplayer character

if you had enough you play points. And that stuff you get just for playing the game. You get those points for like, you know, accomplishing certain things, so. There was a lot of that stuff in Splendor cell too. Yeah, I just The Xbox live system is in place already and the game already has a page where you can download DLC and that kind of stuff I don't know why it's good for you all bundled together. It's free stuff. So free DLC. You know, so that's in screen DLC came up. I just don't want to go through an additional Registration and stuff and like a store within a store. It's game. Yeah, just don't know the store thing is confusing I'd even the server's network was confusing to me. I don't want to see like a fractured system. Yeah

I want it all to be unified. I totally agree and then like even like I was playing Battlefield I was playing the Vietnam Vietnam DLC for battlefield Mm-hmm And that was the same kind of way where like I went to Xbox live and downloaded it But then I had to go in I couldn't find anywhere in the game, and then I had to go to this other thing that they have that stored inside the game, and then down like a three-meg file, and then it popped up, and it's just like, it's needlessly, it makes you play detective to get your stuff, you know?

Just be played a little big planet too, yet. Yeah, I put out an achievement hundred really. It just says your PS3 is still updating. It wasn't that bad. Okay. I guess I didn't turn it off for a while while and it was on the wireless and it was updating it took it went for about 10 minutes And failed but then I plugged it into wired and it took like seven minutes to update. Okay. That's not bad I'm so too bad. So I guess maybe the wireless was flaky or something. How is a little big planet, too? Awesome. It's great It's a beautiful looking game and it's a lot of fun. You know we we talk about how

It's a beautiful looking game and it's a lot of fun. We talk about how powerful forges for creating worlds and maps and things like that. And a little bit of a planet is like that, where you have the ability to, with the community created maps and game types, there's a lot of open-ended things you can do in that game. It's really crazy. Cool. I remember somebody remade episode one of RVB in Little Big Planet one. Yeah, that was very very basic. Very basic, but that was kind of clever and it's fun to be able to do that kind of stuff with a game, you know. I'll be interested to see and you say two is much more robust. Yeah, much

more robust. You can create like game types like you can make racing game like, you know, Halo Reach. Is Little Big Planet a big seller? I think it is. Yeah. Did it someone make like a, uh, an eight-bit computer in a little big planet? Or is that minecraft? Is it minecraft? Yeah, that was, uh, crazy. Like, that was on such a low level I didn't understand it. You're just like, this is the arithmetic logic unit. And, you know, you're talking about gates and, and, and, and all that stuff.

Like, I don't remember any of that stuff. But, uh, yeah,. Yeah, that's crazy. But hey, it's the European three, right? I think so. I don't think so. I think so. I think they said last year was the European three. And they said the year before that was the European three.

So I don't think this is the European three. Okay, I'll go, I will say one thing that they just announced yesterday, this pretty cool, is Valve came out and announced the some more details on what we talked about. You talked about cloud saving? Yeah? Talked about Cloud Saving? Yeah. That's next generation stuff right there, man. I think the next console is you won't have a memory device. You'll just sign in, you could sign in anywhere in the world

and be able to get to your save games. And that will be very, very cool. I don't know. I feel like PS3 is having with the section of God of War, like every major PS3 titles coming out this year. And Gran Turismo, which came out at the ass end the last year, you know. I don't think Gran Turismo, I don't know, Gran Turismo to me isn't that big of a factor anymore.

It sort of did the Duke Newcompe thing, I think it sold like five million copies. Well, because everyone, that's the only game for the PS3 that came out. That's like when we sell five million copies of the next Super Mario Brothers game, of course you're going to, because there's no other games for it.

You can't say that though, there's so many cross platform games that come out. I mean, almost every big Xbox game comes out for the PS3 now as well. With the exception of like Gears of War and Halo. Would you ever pick up a cross-platform game on a PS3? No, I wouldn't because I'm an Xbox gamer, but you have to recognize the fact

that there are a lot of PS3 gamers out there that are getting the same experience. I don't know about that. Unless they're playing. Unless they're playing on a computer. Yeah. I think, and I think honestly, I mean, does PS3 have more exclusives this year than the Xbox?

Probably not one what's also done probably not I don't know they might I think they might roll right now I mean on paper maybe but I think by the end of it all it'll it'll it'll even out or Xbox will have more I don't know I mean the the map pack for Call of Duty black ops is coming out February first You know that's an Xbox exclusive for time exclusives still it's still an exclusive for now it doesn't count. Yeah, but I wouldn't I don't think time exclusives are the same I mean, but you know if you want to play it first you got to play it on Xbox is listen I'm an Xbox fan and I love the Xbox and I think it's far superior to the PS3 But I do recognize that the PSC is PS3 is making grounds and I think that they're gonna have a very good year I think they're getting to core a lot faster with move than connect is.

I think, I think, little big planet already works in connect, and move, I'm sorry, already works in move, and I think Killzone's gonna launch with move functionality too. Yeah, right? I don't know. There's still, there's still hasn't been an announcement for a core game that's gonna have connect interactivity. The only thing was, it was gonna be fable too,

fable three, and they cancel it. They might add it later later. You'll see something. I don't know. I'm just I just I'm I'm not Xbox fan, but I'm not going to I'm not blind. No, no, I'm I'm just saying I don't think you I think PS3 won't won't live up to everyone's expectations this year. Uncharted 3 is going to come out this year, right?

Yeah, that'll be great. Yeah, that's going to be a huge game. And with the movie traction behind it too. Yeah, we'll see about that. People people are kind of iffy on the movie everyone on the internet is Everyone's very vocal about how they feel everyone's pissed off that Nathan fillions not gonna be a Drake Nathan Isn't it gonna be Mark Wahlberg? Yeah, yeah, that needs riding high after the fighter, you know, yeah, yeah, I don't know I can't picture him is a what a adventure hero, but That's just me.

Have any of you seen the fighter? Yes, no. Have you seen him without a shirt on? The fighter is amazing, by the way. I still haven't seen it. I really want to go out and leave. Christian Bale, one. Did anyone have a golden globe?

Yeah. Yeah. And I also watched the King's Speech. That movie's great too. You should definitely watch that we saw we finally saw social network and i kind of feel that i didn't watch it before the drunken towards it's really good you can't question the awards on the country i'm not questioning and no

no i i think that i think what it is if i watch the back back i think i would still pick exesys gift shop it's just that it's pressure my mind right now okay but i think that i definitely we both movies maybe we talked about them a lot afterward, which I know that's my way of determining whether I'm, I really enjoyed something, is how long I think about it afterward. No, I think that's totally fine. Yeah, so, and then both of them,

I made me think afterwards, so. If you, I mean, exit to the gift shop, we watch that film and then every day for about two weeks, at some point during the day, we had an exit to the gift shop conversation. Yeah. You know? But we did that, I mean, not maybe not as day, we had an exit to the gift shop conversation. Yeah. You know.

But we did that, I mean, not maybe not as long, but we did that too at social network. Yeah. And it's why I always like David Lynch's films. I would spend like three months trying to work him out afterwards, you know. Yeah. I'm not that smart.

Most people could probably figure out in 10 minutes, but I don't. I had to have a calculator. I had an abacus out with you. Yeah. And I was just like, I was like, I'm just spelling boobs upside down over. This is not helping that's impressive. We're doing an abacus actually. Well, they got the shape going. Yeah, I guess they got that going in their favor.

Um, Gus, do you know how to use an abacus? No, no, no. I don't even know how to use a slide roll. My dad knew how to use a slide roll. He said that, I guess, when he was taking like math courses, when he was younger, that he learned how to do everything on a slide rule. It's crazy. Let me ask you a question. Is Mass Effect 3 gonna launch cross platform? I think so.

It is, right? Yeah. Okay. I thought it was a little more. So the announced set are you just guessing? No, I think they did. I'll put a supporting link in the link dump, or even eyeing link dump. So look at at it now not to continue to fan the flames of

Console fan wasm, but what are the exclusives for 360 this year bullet storm and gears And what else I know I'm missing something probably pretty big Is crisis gonna be on the PS3? I would imagine yeah, crisis and byShock doesn't come out this year. I don't know. I mean, E3, they'll announce. I think currently BioShock Infinite schedule for February 2012. Yeah, I think that's what they're shooting for. I really don't know. I really don't know what good to shoot. I found a list. I don't know if there's a comprehensive list. Okay. Xbox 360 exclusives for 2011. Gears 3, XCOM, Kingdoms, what the fuck?

It has Halo on here, but there's no announcement about that. Forza Motorsports 4, Star Wars Connect. Oh yeah, that's supposed to come out holiday. I bet it pushes though. Rise of Nightmares, codename the project draco or drako steel battalion um and that's all is on this list and then ps3 has a little big planet to kill zone 3 uncharted 3 resistance 3 lots of threes um infamous to so com 4 ratchet and clank your kusa 4 twisted metal and modus storm apocalypse yeah I mean it's it's balanced yeah Comfort, Ratchet and Clank, Yakuza 4, Twisted Metal, and Modestorm Apocalypse.

Yeah. Well, I mean, it's balanced. Yeah. I don't know that there were higher profile PS3 exclusives than Xbox exclusives on that list. Yeah. Yeah, I've heard of, I think I've heard of every one of these PlayStation ones, but some of these are new.

Yeah. I mean, what does that say also? It's true. You know, new IP versus, you you know expanding on something that's existing absolutely Gonna new IP did you guys talk about the 3DS yet? No, no, I'm not ready. They announced the launch date today is March 25th. I think you know March 27th 27th March 25th for Europe It lunches in Europe before the US really yeah, I just saw March 25th on a thing I didn't read read the whole bit yet. March 25th in Europe March 27th in the US for

249 99. Wow. How many millions of those are going to sell in Tokyo? He's like, I really, I really wonder how this system is going to do. I feel like it's kind of the canary and the coal mine for mobile gaming, you know, a dedicated platform versus something like the iPhone. Yeah. You know, it's got the 3D working in its favor, which iPhone doesn't have what I'm curious to see. It's 3D without glasses too. Yeah, I appreciate.

Like, if the DS came out in March, I wonder how it would have done versus the iPhone and people, you know, gaming on their phones now or other mobile devices. I guess it comes in either Aqua Blue or Cosmo Black. What would you think of an Aqua Blue or Cosmo Black. What would you think of an Aqua Blue or Cosmo Black? Probably Black.

Yeah. The name makes me think of Cosmo Cramer though. Is it with a K or is it? No, it's with a C. Okay. Well that's good. This is a tangent. Did you guys hear that the oldest elephant in North America died?

Oh, how old is he? She was 71 and I guess their normal life expectancy is like 44. She's never forgot. She was one of the painting elephants, the ones that paint. Oh really? Yeah, she lived in California, but she was, yeah, her name is Taj. How did she die? I think just old age. She was jogging. Her face. Yeah, I think, I mean, she was like really old for an elephant, I guess. Well, it's pretty, I mean, bigger things usually die earlier, right? Bigger dogs die, have about half the life expectancy of smaller dogs. Andre, the giant, a little bit of it to be in this.

Big turtles live for a long time though, like Ness. Big turtles. Yeah, that's true. That is true. Yeah, I don't know, really what determines that. I guess like maybe how long it takes you to mature. How long does a whale live? They live a long time. Yeah, okay

Whale that pretty smart those whales we killed a whale and wow Oh, yeah whale shark We're technically a whale. Yeah, I guess maybe depends on the type of whale. I'm waiting speaking of sharks Have we talked about the street shark shit? No, I'm not burning had a journal about it. God damn We're about to go there too have fun. I follow that The street sharks. So I guess what Jeff's talking about is, you know, with all the flooding going on in Brisbane in Australia, there was an advisory put out. I don't remember the exact wording, but you know, I'll link it in the link dump. There's an advisory put out that because the flooding was so severe

that there were now sharks swimming through the streets of Brisbane. So people have to be careful when they're out in their flooded streets because they're sharks. That's crazy. That's not cool, man. No, you don't want that. Like as if there weren't already enough dangerous animals on that fucking continent. Now there are sharks in the street.

God. Do you see the video of the guy canoeing through a McDonald's? Yeah. That's pretty great. How do you think other animals deal with that? Like a kangaroo, right? It's like, oh, you know, I'm just hopping along. A fucking shark is eating you.

It's like fish, you think we learn to expect it. Yeah, yeah. No land-based mammals. No, yeah, yeah. I have no idea what's going on. Just to get back to the whale question, will the smaller ones live like the purposes and what not live to be like 20 to 40. And then the larger ones like killer whales, I think their average is 60 and older.

And then, but the smaller species, they say, that only live to be about half their lifespan in captivity, but in the wild, they live longer. And the longest is a bowhead whale and they live to be 200 years like that. This is not supporting my theory that larger things don't I think it's just I don't know I think a lot of it has to do how long it takes for it to become an adult. But do you think that taking longer to become an adult is a function of the fact that it lives longer though? I think I mean it must be right. Yeah. It's got longer time. So shouldn't Andre the giant live to be like

200? But he was too big for normal yeah he was out of the normal normal for human size so I think maybe that's what has to do with I wonder how long the average NBA player lives that's a question like they're bigger than normal they are like they're not like super freakishly like what some of them are new balls died right right I think I think he I think he died because of complications of being fucking set Yeah

That sucks for him. I knew bull never got his posse Did you guys see that video that came out this week about the autonomous mini helicopters that can build stuff fuck that oh? Yeah, no, it's scary. Yeah, yeah it's like cyber nine I forget where they were it was always University of Pennsylvania researchers built these four little mini helicopters and they would the issue that helicopters are command they tell them to like build a shape and then the four helicopters work together to build the shape that they're instructed to using pre-made items and they don't like they don't bump into each other in flight or anything. Yeah, they coordinate the building process

and communicate to build human-sized cages. Yeah. They can't figure out that they're only building human-sized cages and nothing else. And they said that the only limitation for them right now is battery life, which is comforting after watching the Matrix. What they're going to do is they'll just build little robots to swap out their batteries.

Yeah. Or they'll just harvest energy from our flesh. At what point did they start trying to track down to her economy? That's what I'm wondering. But it's crazy. Jeff and I watched that video, I'm sure you'll link it. And then at the very end, there's like a half second shot of the three robots. And it's like the most ominous thing ever.

It's the one in the camera. Yeah. Come the most ominous thing ever. It's said one like in the camp one. Yeah. Oh, come on. I don't ruin it. It's fantastic. They also can do some really crazy things with 3D printers now. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. For like imagery search and there's some really crazy shapes. I read it. You can super expensive. You can 3D print autonomous helicopter robots. Oh, okay. I can't wait till I can 3d print a hamburger That's what I'm waiting for that is that what a replicator that's a dream. Yeah, no different kinds of hamburgers Yeah, like print out different ones

What a great wouldn't All right, so wouldn't the the synthesizer doesn't shouldn't that have put guy in and out of a job like what did she do? She was there for the conversation. Sage advice. Yeah I guess, but she really had a sage advice job. When they went back in time and she was there. They needed someone to wear those crazy hats. They're like, we have all these hats, we need someone to wear them. Well, because it's not just,

I mean, you could get a coffee in your damn house, you know? Like, it's the experience. The experience. The obvious, the people watching, the interaction. Even, you know, like Quark, right? He had a bar and he says nothing. He had a great bar. Actually, they replicated that bar with had a quark, right? He had a bar and he said he's not saying. He had a great bar. Actually, they replicated that bar

with the Star Trek experience, right? Deep Space Nine. I didn't go to it, but I know it was there. Well, I do say Santa's a good show, shut up. What? It was good. It took a while to get going, but it got good. They were like, coal meanies.

They were like, coal meanies. We have to give Chifo Brian a platform. He's too big for that kind of creation. Didn't it work in the show too. Yeah, like eventually. Like towards Ian. I don't know if he was on the show all the time, but he was there.

Star Trek needs more for Rangie. How do we get this? It did need more for Rangie. It did. The Frangie are great. Oh no. Oh no, and Quark those guys were great. Man, Star Trek is like right up there in the North scale.

It's pretty high. Yeah. For him, for me, to think scale. It's it's pretty high. Yeah. For me to think that. That's something else. You love it. It's what I made. Actually, Monty and I have been in the studio. We've been playing the next generation movies behind us while we work. We got like a we wielded out a little monitor and you get to watch in first contact the other day. Yeah, I mean kind of have watching. We're both working on stuff. But we have it going in the background. We have conversations. What was the one after first contact? Contact day. Yeah, I mean, kind of half watching we're both working on stuff, but we have it going in the background, and we have conversations.

What was the one after first contact? Contact, it was terrible. I don't know, like I've never seen the next generation movies except for the first one that had the old cast at TNT. Generations, there's generations in those first contact. First contact was pretty good.

Insurrection was great, I thought. That's the one where the Romulan clone, right? Yeah, that one wasn't too bad. But there was one in there with like data, I think they brought lore back or something. I don't know. I can't stand lore. And honestly, I don't like data acting out at all. Like it just bugs me. Like I'm not a huge data fan. Sorry. Oh man, you don't let that lady in Trekkies who. Yeah, she was. Oh, look at it. She would like give us some Trekkies. Yeah. Yeah. She would like, give us some check. Yeah.

And then we refer to the scene where this lady, who is in love with Brent Spiner, and she lived on the other side of a hill in California. And she, like, he was on one side of Hill. She was on the other. And she had a photo album of 300 photos of Brent Spiner that were all pictures she would take at Star Trek conventions.

But it would be like Brent Spiner in the process of signing an autograph and then like a second later and then a second later It was like a flip book of and it was just like the same shot over and over and over again and she would be like sometimes when I when I'm having a rough day And if anybody has a podcast, listen to this and it's your mom, I apologize She has a bunch of kids, yeah The chances are pretty good, that it is But anyway, so she would be like sometimes when I have a really tough day I just like to pull out my Brent Spiner, my Brent Spiner picture book, and I sit on the back porch and I stare at the hill and have a glass of red wine and think maybe Brent's having a bad day and he's staring at the hill too.

Like we could be staring at the same hill. We could be staring at the same hill. Wow. It's comforting. I think he lived on that hill and she was, no, she lived near by or something, right? He, he lived on the other side of the hill. I was like, oh, that was our connection. Yeah. They're both drinking wine on the back porch. They can about each other. That's terrifying.

Oh. I saw that again not too long ago. I think I rented it on Zoom because it's so long since I'd seen it. I watched it like a month or two ago. It's fucking fantastic. Yeah, it's still just as creepy as ever. It was made by Tashi R, right? Yeah, it was.

Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. That's a huge Tashi R fan. I fucking think. My wife. Really? Oh, god.

They were so fixated on her too. She's out on the show. It's like good riddance. You know, then we got war after that, right? Isn't that what he did? I mean, he became a security. Yeah, yeah. But he was on the show before.

I think so. Yeah. Why did they dump her? that everybody is because everybody hated her no i don't know i think she left for whatever reason and then they you know she died a career making documentaries about some of the tire muster thing a terrible death man so group partners can spit her out and i think i'll write your dead but it's kind of they have a big broader back and they brought her back and

they're back like now she's a romulent like it i i guess i got so sick of seeing her. The Romulan Tashiar wasn't had nothing to do with the original Tashiar, right? It was her daughter. Was her daughter? Is that a spoiler? No, at this point, no.

I don't know that. I knew there was a Romulan version. Yeah, somehow, I don't know what happened. There was an alternate reality where she didn't die and then she went off and then something happened. She went off with this man she fell in love with and she was like, she went into the place and the guy and was like, you're not supposed to be here. You're not supposed to be here.

So then she, hey Bernie. So then she left because the reality she didn't belong in and then later on they see her and she's a Romulan. It's like, oh no, her ship crashed and she ended up marrying some Romulan guy or something. Where? Maybe it was more torturous than that, but anyway. She was in the final episode too.

Was she? Yeah, because they did a three timeline thing, remember? Like, she's on the show, she's not, right? Like, God. Cancer. Do you remember what the very last line of next-door A4 was? I don't. This guy's the limit.

That door slam was a little flatter. Right. So what you're saying Griffin is that you you hate stories where characters don't stay dead and they keep coming back over. And Bernie is. Bernie. Bernie. Bernie is broke your door.

Slang it. Bernie. Bernie hates my door today. What did he, what did he yell on the way out? I don't know, probably something horrible. I'm gonna eat a cheeseburger. I'm sure you, don't make fun of eating cheeseburgers. I just, yeah. That's one of the finest thing a person can do.

Oh man, we all went to KFC yesterday. No, this is a launch bunch because KFC, I'm sure you've already tried out there. If you haven't, check it out. Yeah, the double down, Gus. Yes. You got a double down Yeah, I noticed that it was a like I'd had one once before and I felt terrible after eating it

And I thought maybe it was just a fluke so I ordered it's like no this is awesome that it was totally just a fluke and about halfway through I felt like I was gonna die. I was horrible So I honestly I had forgotten what a double down was I just remember it was kind of a gimmicky thing So I ordered it when I got back here to eat it. I was like oh, yeah, this thing has no bud It's just like chicken with cheese in the middle. Yeah, it's like two slices two pieces of like fried chicken And then the sandwiches in the middle so yeah instead of ready of fried chicken. Yeah, and it's like I was a little shocked when I opened up when I don't it was so good Oh, man, I didn't I didn't have one yesterday

But I had it when the original time guess and I went and it does make you want to dive out on the way there. It's the most It's heaven that takes you to hell. I met An interruption hey All right I'm so glad we got new mics that really take up a lot more sound. We started using it on this podcast. Last one. Hey, start locking doors around here.

I have a recommendation for your lunchbunch. Oh, what's that? It's something pretty cool. There's a place on South Congress called Hopdoddy. It's a burger. Oh yeah, yeah. That place is awesome. I've been twice now. It's a place that's yeah, yeah. That place is awesome. I've been twice now. It

that place is great. That place is always super packed. That's what I've never gone in. Like I I wanted to go one time and it was just like yeah crazy business. I've been there on South Tharners. It's just it's just north of where next to where Mars used to be. Okay. It's literally the next door. Oh, it's it's a fucking CC's market. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. But yeah, it's really, really good stuff. And they have double-next-and-pepper on tap. I hear that's great. It's awesome.

But I've been there twice, and then we went a third time, and the line went, they were like, yeah, it's going to be about an hour. It's like, yeah, no thanks. So, crazy. But really, really good place. I highly recommend it. Get lunch there.

We've been trying to branch out because we've decided, you know, like we've all been eating just chain restaurants lately and haven't been exploring. So we tried the other day. We went to the Estonians restaurant, was it called again? Second second, and it was our second. And it was going to be like an hour away. It's like, well, we have this is a lunch break. It's like you can't. Yeah, what

was the S was the S and second a dollar sign? The N was the number two, but on its side, it's a it's a fucking Tuesday. And it's 11 45 in the morning. And we show up and they're like do you have reservations? We were also the only people in that restaurant who were not in suits. Yeah, and then they all like there's just this like general era of I don't know like Snobbery. Yeah, who makes reservations for fucking lunch? Yeah, I tell you who assholes. Yeah, that's who was it like a place to eat an American Psycho whereas like everyone's wearing suits and showing business cars to each other? I didn't have the commercial

We've answered out long before we signed a business person. Yeah, okay It was obviously we had no business there We're on just like slums like trading places where's not the old men sitting around it. It's like No, we don't have a reservation So how how long is the way and they go for you and we go, yeah, and they go how long do you have Back in an hour and they go, oh, it's an hour and 15 minutes. So sorry. Oh But you want to know staple right? Yeah, we went to staples. We're just delicious We went to Frank. You know to Frank man. I miss Frank Frank was a good good place. Yeah, we had a we we all tweeted pictures of her

They still have the best socks that they don't mean ever for the restaurant hotdogs coldbeer.com yeah it's a great them in it is except if you're looking for them that's I don't know if that's a great plan maybe that should have been the name of the place hotdogs cold beer yeah hey before we go I kind of want to talk about the comic that's okay go for it okay a couple of things while we just introduced some new characters in yesterday's comic and- Yeah, thanks for the heads up, by the way.

I think I'm- I know what it is. I'm gonna draw my own panel and just like scan it and put it off, all right? Well, okay. But I didn't include myself, I mean, Luke and I always do the introductions, but I didn't include myself

in the new employee thing either. But yeah. You've been doing the comic for how many years? Not four years. Why no, that's, yeah. Four years. So you've been on the comic for- Well, I've been doing the comic for how many years not four years? I know that's yeah, so you've been on the comic for a while I've been I'm minimizing the fact that I knew because I Because you know, nobody wants to be the new guy

But anyway, yeah, and I just I completely space and I think if you work in a cheapa The comic was all the new guys at Rooster Teeth and for some reason is like it's like seven guys and not me And like two of the guys got hired before me and they're in there. Yeah. No, no, no, no. Monty and Brandon were both there before I was. Yeah, I think it's what it, because it's my, go ahead.

You should be considered flattered that you're not considered a new guy, I guess. You've been like, you've been graduated. He's a no guy. Yeah. I don't exist. I don't exist. Here's what it was.

It was sort of, I was thinking kind of along the lines of video production. And I just, you're in this other category with Jeff. And I raised my hand. We don't produce videos't produce videos here Jack and I produce six videos just Okay, I didn't mean video I meant like I was gonna say live action but also we also produce live action every Monday Put out every single Monday. Well, I'm very sorry But there was only enough slots for for those guys. Okay, and even in the comic actually a lot more I think than Brandon has at this point yeah I think you

are actually have been in more than Brandon or at least you've had more of a part in it like he's sometimes in the background more but wait till she does the flashlight arc you'll be all over yeah if you want I could do some comics about you that's alright no I apologize I it wasn't intentional at all it's not a really spaced it but I am going to draw my own comic, though. So that's going to be my panel response. You should do it because I think it's for anybody. If you guys want to, I started, we have, we, look

and I started the group, the comics group. And so that's what we've been trying to keep it up, pretty regular about posting, like behind the scene stuff, like either stories, or you have pictures of like Joel, when he did that comic, we posted his comic, you know. So that's kind of a great place for that. And if anyone wants to do that, like we can kind of just throw it all in there and let people look at it. Okay, so the main thing I wanted to talk about is that Brandon

has been working very hard getting the book one and book two into iTunes store, so I books. And I just want to let you know that those are both, I think they both went live today or at least book two went live today, book one was already up. Oh really? Yeah. We're working on the Kindle, but we still have some sizing issues to work out. So I would like if you're looking to buy it digitally, I would go to iTunes. So is there like an iPhone version and an iPad version? Or how does that work?

I don't know. I've never bought like a book. iPad, you're going to ask me specifics. I think it's a version platform ambiguous. It's scales. Oh, it scales. I've only seen it on the iPad, but I think we just did that because it was easier to see sizing and whatnot. But yeah, so that's kind of exciting.

Yeah, if you want to buy the book and you like trees, you can get it on high. You can save trees. We're eventually have, we'll have all of them up digitally, but right now we just have one and two. I guess it takes a while to go through and like export or take brand and a while. Yes. I didn't ask him. He just like decided to do that one day. He's awesome. So I was going to take him to lunch. Yeah. Hey, you know, I thought I'd brought you some fried chickens. I don't even want to hear it. That was that was that you who brought that?

Yeah. Okay. I didn't know that was you. We brought a bunch of fried chicken. And I totally went and got you. Griffin's like Griffin texted me one night. She's like, Hey, do you have a bookshelf? I can borrow for a short. We're shooting tomorrow And I was like yeah sure no problem And I sent photos of like one of my bedroom loaded full of stuff and then another one that was completely empty She can you bring them both in I was like all right So I pulled everything off this bookshelf. It's all over my bedroom floor right now I've got a photo of it actually of before and after and so I bring it in and it's Friday and it's like all right

They're shooting the short and no they're not we're not shooting the short on Friday. That's not me. That's. And so. So I spent it's been my room has been a mess for a week now because of my bookshelf is gone. It's still it's still sitting in there. I didn't know what to be fair. To be fair, I wouldn't have had you bring in both of them except you told me they were the same. They looked the same and they matched. I don't know. Your photos are both. Yeah, but I mean, you sent me some a couple of blurry photos, but they're totally different. They're not blurry photos.

They're not blurry photos. They're not blurry photos. They're different sizes. I didn't say that they're the same thing. No, I appreciate you clearing off your shelf, but Brandon's put out, he's been at the office until 2 in the morning doing these things. I was going to take a bunch of. I also interject, Jack, you just described every room in my house.

Well, for much, it's like, I'm not married to Gryffind. We may or may not need this sofa for a short. So let's go ahead and assume that we will and we're gonna truck to take it to the office. Yeah, I had to, when I was first starting, I did a play and I had a $300 budget. And so we used almost every piece of furniture in our living room.

We didn't have for like a month and a half while the show was running. We could send no furniture in that. And the cool thing about that too is theater people are really respectful of you. Oh yeah, true. sure, yeah, you know It's like insects I brought it in and then the actors are complaining about it being dirty. I'm like fuck you One of the one of the

Things in the play is one of the people was a drunk and they were required to spill liquor all over Asofa well, that's that's That's it. I was totally out there. That was ad lib. Oh, okay. I will say I appreciate his grip and actually cleaned off one of my shelves and repainting it. Yeah, there was a couple of nicks in it. So that's cool. He also got his really high that day when you were staining next door. Instead of the big warehouse where you smell the spurs, you're staining right next door

to us. Oh, is that what that smell was? Yeah, I thought I had something to do with the counter. That's what I thought too. Oh, it was also countered. What you the really bad smell you were smelling was Bondo. I don't know. I smelled I smelled paint thinner. Oh, that I didn't have any paint thinner. I had wood stain. That's that's probably my way of smelling the bondo just smells bad though. That's where they were. It was strong though. It was very, very strong. Would you get this from Gaffer? I've had it in a parking lot.

It's kind of cool. Right. It's like a little magnet. I thought it was a ring, but it's just like a collection of magnets. Oh, yeah. My wife has some of that it's just like a collection of magnets. My wife has some of that. It's like a magnetic jewelry you can buy online and you can make different things. That's a very small subset of the magnets that you get, so you can make your own stuff. That's cool. I think Bernie talked about that stuff that you have to be careful if you have a really small kid, because if they eat two of those magnets and they get down to the intestinal tract, they'll track to each other and they can seal your intestine shut. Well, I wasn't going to, I actually was just going to give it to Monty because he has a

collection of just so much little things that he's... Do you think it might be a good idea to remind him not to eat this? Just tell him like... Well, the same thing with pets, too, I imagine. Yeah, I'm not going to take it home because we have a kid and we have a puppy now. It's kind of puppy. How's that? We're going to put time in? What kind of dog is it?

It's a neopolitan mastiff. She took a shit all over my back seat in my car today. Is it like chocolate vanilla and strawberry? She's like a blue white strawberry. She's got a strawberry scent. Delayed laugh, thank you. I love because I've heard that like eight times already. That's why that's the night.

And guess what? It's the only one that's been recorded. It's the fucking dog that Haggard has in Harry Potter. That giant monster dog. In the books, it's actually supposed to be a great day, but in the movies, they have a Neapolta Master. Yeah. Little-known fact. Ironically, Jeff wanted a great day.

So we got a Neapolta Master. No, I said. So were you guys trying to find the largest dog with the biggest shit's possible? I mean, the St. Bernard was big, I guess. But it was. It was. It was dog will be bigger than the largest dog with the biggest shits possible I mean like the same Bernard was big. I guess but It is dog will be bigger than the same Or heavier anyway, yeah, 30 pounds heavier. They just they just want to got a cow There's dog will be I just realized that said this dog will be another dog heavier

No, I love this dog. I think it's a great dog. You need to do a great job finding it Yeah, she's really beautiful and she's like she's been the main issue's been a little bit nippy And she's a nopoddy trained yet But she's already improved since yesterday. Yeah, she ruined she ruined our coffee tables the day after we got it Yeah, that's cool, too that coffee table was two weeks old What how she's chewed half of it all she's chewed the quarter off like there's no corner in there anymore. Yeah Well corners are dangerous You fell and like onto the corner you could injure yourself. She was safety proofing the house. Yeah

Do you do you ever? She's awesome. She's was safety proofing the house. Yeah, yeah, do it She's awesome. She's in puppy daycare right now. Oh, yeah, that exists No, believe me. I know you don't have to tell me They've dog spas in California. Have you ever seen those before? Yeah, I think there was a bit when That Conan did a long time ago where like triumph went to one of those dog spots That's oh man. I'd like to see that. Yeah, it's crazy. Do you think it's online?

Probably, I'll see if I can find it in the little linked home. Speaking of triumph, what do you think Robert Smigel does on a day-to-day basis? Roll in piles of cash. Piles of cash from what then? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. He's a writer, right? He writes for Conan, I think.

Does he? I think so. I don't know. I mean, I know he has triumph, and I know he had the ambiguously gay duo. He's got all that think does he I think so I don't know I mean, I know he has triumph and I only had the ambiguous league a duo He's got all that to you. Yes, when you know yeah, but traditionally writers make like tons and tons today Yeah, that's I don't know I mean I I assume smuggles are pretty well respected Dude I would imagine not to imagine I'm going in their treat pretty well because Cohen started his writer Yeah, so I would imagine he treats his writers well, but I don't know I don't know that for certain at all Yeah, yeah, I just don't know like I don't look up smuggle now because he's probably done a lot of stuff

We were not aware of behind the scenes guy that the video of triumphant the star wars geeks in one the way Yeah, yeah, probably one of the best videos pretty good triumph on the weather doing the weather reported Hawaii's That's my favorite. Yeah, that's the best one I'm just starting ripping into the anchors in their hair I do that dude is so fucking funny. I mean I know he has a team of riders that write triumph and write all his lines But a lot of that stuff was off the cuff. Yeah, it came across as off the cuff very funny So have fun linked up in that. I'm sure I can find all that stuff Do we want to tell people a check achievement hundred tomorrow for something cool at all check achievement hundred tomorrow

But something cool at all what? Check Achievement Hunter tomorrow, but something cool, look at all. What is that? Our new segment thing? No. You forget what we're doing. No. Are you legitimately don't know what I'm talking about? No, exactly what you're talking about.

Okay. So don't come to this side tomorrow. Stay the fuck away from Achievement Hunter tomorrow, whatever you do. I'm not going to Achievement Hunter. There you go. Yes, so I did my first 300 video in a long time. How was it? It was fun.

It was fun. I had a planet. Funded in the audio. I don't know how it started or why it is that I'm the one who makes PS3 videos internally. But I kind of like it. Because you have a PS3 at home. And you, you, I would not consider you

to be an Xbox gamer. I would just consider you to be a gamer yeah because I don't think you care what platform the game is on as long as you because long as it's fun as long as it's wow I see you playing on live a lot I'm surprised that you do because I mean you love board games you love any kind of game and you're like your whole life you've been playing games of all types why is it that you're so like platformers specific? I am so addicted to achievements. Okay, but there are trophies. There are trophies. There's achievements in a while.

I don't. I know. And there's achievements in steam. And there's achievements in bio-aware games. You just got invested early into that platform. And then you're like, I'm invested in that platform. And it works for me. And Xbox Live is awesome. It's hands-down the best Online online delivery system Steam I don't get the sense of community out of steam and maybe it's just because I don't spend as much time on it But I just I just like the interface. I like how Xbox Live works

I like how integrated it is with all the games I liked it, you know up until recently you didn't have to have 15 different accounts to play multiplayer games You know like this is the Sony problem. Yeah, I know I just until recently, you didn't have to have 15 different accounts to play multiplayer games, you know, like the Sony problem. Yeah, I know. I just like Xbox. I don't know. You know one thing I don't like about Xbox Live? What's that?

Trying to like remove like friends and friend requests. I just, the process is so slow. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it's like, do it from the website. I do it from the website. It's faster, but it's still slow. I mean, it should just have like, I should just be able to toggle a bunch and delete it. I think I sent you a friend request and I waited three weeks and when you didn't reply I just deleted it Oh, did you?

I can take a hint. It's just that every time I have so many like and not to the I'm so popular and I have to be my friend. No from when I was doing pajama treatments I asked everyone to send me friend requests so then because I was doing it I asked if I wasn't I don't think I would have the appeal now, but I asked for people because at the time we're looking for people to play with. So I have a bunch of people that I added that I've never met in person, I don't remember who they are. So I'm kind of slowly getting rid of decluttering and then I can add people to actually know.

So that's why, but yeah, it's like every time I start and then I lose after a minute or two, I'm just like, fuck it, I'll just do it later. And I've been doing, saying I'll do it later for like a year. All right. I'm not trying to say I'm popular. Can I say one thing I don't like about trophies? While we're talking about, why don't you like about trophies? I don't like that there's not a number of value associated with them.

I like the number of value. I like the total aggregate score. Yeah, but you get a total aggregate gamer score. Like I do like that. I do. I and I you write about that. I do like that. And I like the idea of the platinum trophy. Yeah. and I'm that starting to make its way into Xbox games

And I appreciate that like most of the Sega games now have an achievement that's got every other achievement Which is essentially the same thing. We kind of danced around this earlier. I don't know why we didn't talk about it but With all the security problems of the ps3's experiencing now with jail breaks and hacking I guess their trophy system has been compromised as well. Uh huh. To where if you jail break your PS3, you can unlock any trophy you want.

Oh wow. That's destroying that system. Yeah, they said it doesn't work in some games. Like I guess it doesn't work in Resident Evil 5 or Arkham Asylum, but it works in a lot of other games. Well, why would anyone do that? Like what's the point? Like if you don't earn something, why, why have it? It's the same. I mean, people do it on the Xbox

2 game savers, you know, like that guy strip club DJ. Everybody was so crazy that he was the first person to hit a hundred thousand game rescorn. It was a big deal. And then you found out you cheated his way up there. And tons of people do it. I don't know. People, people like to just circumvent systems, I guess. Yeah. I think a lot of people do it just because they can. I guess. Or, I think a lot of people do it just because they can I guess or they just want to ruin it for everybody else You know, um one thing that I didn't know that came out as a result of of this was that the reason the PSP doesn't have trophies Is because it's been hacked and it's a compromised system huh? That's that's why they never push trophies down to the PSP That's interesting that they weren't you know

They're making them, or they're worried about hackers doing that. Mm-hmm. You know. Because then the system doesn't mean anything. Yeah, I guess so. If you can just unlock anything you want it will. The only thing that a service you paid for

that they would hire people to moderate that thing. Oh, wait. I don't want to give them too much shit. It's terrible that that happened to them. I wouldn't want to give them anything. It is terrible. It would devastate me if that happened on the Xbox And I guess you know they're having a lot of problems with cheaters on call of duty servers I'm sure it'll all get worked out and fixed eventually and hopefully the

Sanctity of the trophy system will be restored. Yeah, I hope so from the way from what I understand of the problem And I'm not Nearly up on it as up on as I should be from what I understand of the problem and I'm not nearly up on it as up on it as I should be. From what I understand it would be very difficult to fix if it's possible at all. That's too bad. It's it's it's it's kind of I think and again I could be wrong. It's to me in my mind it's similar to how it used to be you couldn't rip DVDs and then all of a sudden like the those keys were discovered that allowed you to unlock the encryption and then you could rip DVDs and that's never been it fixed. Yeah, you can never go back and rewrite that standard. So maybe we'll see a PS4 a lot sooner than expected.

I wonder if Chovies are that big of a deal to PlayStation owners though. If the trophies aren't that big a deal, I'm sure the pirated games and stuff like that are big deals. Oh, yeah, no, I'm sure. I'm just thinking about from like the gamers experience like I know if the If this this happened on the 360 it would ruin achievements for me and for everybody and it would be a big deal But I don't get the sense that there's a lot of like the trophies are as big of a deal two PS3 players as Achievements are not a secret could be because maybe you don't play it as much on the PS3. Maybe that's why you don't see it. I mean, it's possible. I mean, I just, just, just generally seeing stuff online, you know, and I realize I have

a very, even my browsing habits are very Xbox centric, but I just don't get the sense that there's like the fever for trophies. And then maybe it's because like they came in so late in the, in the Sony, uh, or in the PS3 lifespan and they felt at least to me kind of tacked on like haphazardly last minute but it didn't seem as well thought out but you know I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. I think you just invented a new word Xbox centric. I'm reading some new game attack.

I'm reading some comments for the first Dead Space 2 video I posted today upon YouTube and I didn't realize this but we actually have we're playing Dead Space 2 on a posted today, up on YouTube, and I didn't realize this, but we actually have, we're playing Dead Space 2 in a debug kit, and it's the old dashboard. Oh yeah. And everyone's like, why do they have the old dashboard? Why do they have the old dashboard? They must be hacking it. And it's like, no, it's just a debug kit.

I'm like, I can flash that for you, I'm sorry. Okay, you, I'm cool. I didn't know you'd have the old software. The next few videos are coming out are going to have the old dashboard on them anyway Oh, hey that reminds me do we have a PC in the office? Yeah, um, did you see that eight-bit halo game came out today? Oh? Oh, my yesterday. I really want to try it out. I want to play it

I don't know. God. Go visit him. I've got a great voice lawyer. I keep, I keep her on payroll. Well, you have experience, right? I do. Um, no, I don't know. If you're all going to go somewhere, I'll probably just go pick up a sandwich or something

easier. Yeah. I'll give a sandwich. You want to give a sandwich, Griffin? Sure, I might see what Brandon's up to. I didn't mean to sandwich. I meant I'm going to go get a hamburger. Oh, dude.

Hamburger sound great. I was just talking about it. It's not happening. Yeah. My plan isn't working. All right. Well, I guess before we leave, I just want to mention real fast that we're going to be, uh, we're doing an event in Sydney next month.
