WEBVTT

1
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:19.800
All right, it is uh Tuesday, March eighteen, two thousand and eight,

2
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:23.679
and you are listening to the Giant
Bomb Cast. I'm Ryan Davis.

3
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.719
Uh so, yeah, let's get
into it. Jeff, how you how

4
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.920
you doing? I'm doing pretty good. Uh. We just wouldn't got sandwiches.

5
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.520
We just got sandwiches to prepare.
It's probably a good idea to get

6
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:38.520
sandwiches to laid down a base for
our our drink taste testing. Yes,

7
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:44.840
we have a double shot. We
do of of drinks this week. I'm

8
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.640
pretty scared of both of them.
I think, all right, Yeah,

9
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:51.039
we've got two drinks here. Let's
uh, let's set this up. Which

10
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.799
one do you want to talk about
first? Here? Well, I think

11
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:58.119
we should talk about this one here. This is uh we ordered a case

12
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:03.840
of this on advice of a ton
of people in Europe, Scotland around around

13
00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:08.359
that area over somewhere that's not inside
the US. Scotland seems to be the

14
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:15.359
main place made. I guess.
So this is It is iron Brew spelled

15
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:21.319
i r n hyphen b run Brew
and it's made by bar Yes, original

16
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.560
and best it says on it.
And there's a I think I brought it

17
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:29.439
in I ordered this case off their
website. They actually have a US operation

18
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.480
that is more than happy to sell
you cases of it. I notice it

19
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:36.680
has all like the US Nutritional Facts
in California Redemption sticker along with it.

20
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:38.879
That that kind of bothers me.
It's a picture, it's it's like,

21
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:44.480
it's pretty typical. It's a picture
of old white dude smoking a pipe,

22
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.439
a couple of dogs, you know, rich guy near the fireplace. And

23
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:52.799
then the quote is I love ironbrew
and soda. My bitches get it because

24
00:01:52.799 --> 00:02:00.640
they're dogs. Oh get dogs,
get it edgy? Yeah, well we'll

25
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.760
delightful. So it's I want to
describe this drink in color. It is

26
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:09.439
a terrifying orange, like I kind
of neon lit. It looks like some

27
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.800
sort of coolant. It looks like
I should pour this into my car.

28
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.120
Yeah, I guess it doesn't look
quite like orange soda, does it.

29
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:20.960
No, it's it's kind of it's
too clear, right, Like I can

30
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.479
see through it too much. And
it has almost like a viscous quality,

31
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.319
like it's there's like if you switch
it around a little bit in the bottles,

32
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.639
it's mad viscous. It's it's a
little looks a little juicy. All

33
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.800
right, let's let's crack these bottles
open and get into this. Okay,

34
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:38.039
Now, I've heard like everyone who
recommended this also said you'll love it.

35
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:46.280
It's terrible, So all right,
crack that open. Oh I open it

36
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.000
near my nose. How's that working
out for you? Oh? I'm not

37
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:52.080
even having I don't even have it
near my nose, and I'm getting a

38
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:59.639
little a little waffed. All right, first, smell vitamin E bubble gum.

39
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.199
Bubble bubblegum is the is the centime? Getting out of that? All

40
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:09.240
right, let's let's give this go. Jeff, this tastes like a pubble

41
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:13.280
bubba soda. Yeah, this tastes
like bubblegum soda as far as I'm concerned.

42
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.599
The bottle says it's citrus, but
that is a lie. Like this

43
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:23.879
tastes like bubble gum soda. We
are on board with awesome. You bought

44
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.360
a case of bubblegum soda, Jeff, good jobs. And it's orange for

45
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.000
a reas. So I wonder if
if that means that oranges taste like bubblegum

46
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.639
in Scotland. Yeah, that would
explain why GTA is the way it is.

47
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.960
Absolutely all right, I'm gonna keep
drinking this because this is pretty good.

48
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.719
Yeah, we can get to the
second drink later. Let's just say,

49
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.680
are these talk about some games or
something? Yeah, I hear,

50
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:51.599
I hear. It's in Scotland.
It's a good hangover cure. It's this

51
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.520
is used a lot for that.
And then also on the other end of

52
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:59.400
that fence, it's also used as
a mixer. Yeah. So uh so

53
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:00.479
this will lead to bad things,
I'm sure. Great. Yeah, we

54
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.280
have a whole case of it,
so that that's Yeah, we'll do something

55
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:08.039
stupid with with the rest of these, like drink them. Also, I

56
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:13.120
love that right here on this so
it's with iron like you would think My

57
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.759
understanding is that this was some sort
of health sports drink or you know,

58
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.399
had some kind of stuff in it. Really because it's you know, because

59
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.000
it says iron. And also I
thought I remember reading that somewhere. But

60
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:30.199
right here on the front not a
significant source of iron. Well that's good

61
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.240
to like, you know, they
say made from girders. Yeah, but

62
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.000
there's no iron in it. Oh
no, it has five percent iron.

63
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.839
Well, apparently it's not. That's
not a fairly five percent. It's not

64
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:45.120
a significant source. So that's that's
or five percent of your daily value of

65
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.959
iron. So that sounds pretty significant
to drink twenty of these to get all

66
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.519
the iron you needed. I think
we only have sixteen, so well fourteen

67
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.079
now, damn it. Give me
the rest of that one so I can

68
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.120
drink them all and get my iron
for the day. Your flint chewables,

69
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.480
jes get your iron from there.
All right, let's uh, you want

70
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.000
to talk about the world of games. You want to talk about what we're

71
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:11.240
planning right now? Yeah? Sure. I just finished up Lost via Domis

72
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.480
for the Xbox three sixty wrote a
review of it. You can find it

73
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:17.439
on the site. Uh not great. Well, yeah, the best thing

74
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.560
I can say about it is it's
mad easy points if you're if you're a

75
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:25.639
points kind of guy, Yeah,
and you slid this game my way where

76
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.279
it sits now with CSI, which
I'm currently playing on a Jumper which I

77
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:30.839
have not started on yet. Yeah, I gonna stop giving you points games.

78
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.120
If you're not gonna play him immediately, I'm gonna I'm gonna play him.

79
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.959
I just I just you. You've
passed me too many all at once,

80
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.560
so I need to I need to
make that happen, but he's off

81
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.560
on that. So so yeah,
the Lost game, it's it's kind of

82
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.000
stupid because it's all about this character
they made up and they just kind of

83
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:53.240
like throw him into the story,
right, So it's like, what if

84
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.199
there was another guy and he was
a photographer. I mean, I can

85
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.439
understand why they would have to do
that, because, like, you know,

86
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.000
just the mythology is so tight with
the characters, like the core characters

87
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.360
on the show, that they couldn't
just go off in some weird direction.

88
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.279
Yeah, you couldn't just like,
all right, here are the other adventures

89
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:10.000
of Jack, because you pretty much
see everything Jack's doing, which also makes

90
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.560
it weird for whenever your character interacts
with other characters, because you're like,

91
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.000
wait, how come I never heard
about any of this stuff? If it's

92
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.240
happening right in the middle of all
the high drama of the show. That'll

93
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.639
be explained next season. Bro.
I'm sure, I'm sure I could go

94
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:27.000
find a Lost Wiki entry somewhere that
totally explains how all these figures in.

95
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.040
And they should have made this game
where you play as the smoke Monster and

96
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.839
say as the Smoke Monster, that
would be pretty good. I will see

97
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.560
the smoke Monster doesn't look bad,
and neither does the Jungle Smoke Month.

98
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:40.199
I've never seen Lost. I don't
intend to start watching it. Yeah,

99
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.160
then you're gonna be so totally confused
by this game because it is made for

100
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.560
people who watch a lot of Lost. Like there's occasionally there will be little

101
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.920
cues. You'll see something like,
oh, okay, there was that explosion

102
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.480
just then, which is when they
were blowing open the hatch, which means

103
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:56.560
that this is where you are in
the storyline. But since they never say

104
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.399
anything explicitly you have you'll have no
idea like why was there just that explosion?

105
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.519
I don't know. So it's in
that regard, totally totally exclusionary.

106
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:05.839
Well that's kind of cool, you
know. I think that there's something to

107
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:11.839
be said for making a product that
is that goes off the deep end and

108
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.839
is explicitly for a certain audience,
rather than doing all the hand holding and

109
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.160
saying like, well, this just
happened and just explaining every single thing to

110
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:24.279
death, which tends to alienate the
people that are super fans of everything.

111
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.000
I mean, the only people that
are going to play a Lost game,

112
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.240
or people that know what the hell's
going on with the loss. Yeah,

113
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.920
I guess that's not not my primary
issue with it. It's just more it's

114
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.240
not it's not that good. It's
like they have some they have some good

115
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:38.759
ideas. It's like, Okay,
we'll have this puzzle solving stuff and we'll

116
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.240
have this part where you have to
run from the smoke Monster and we'll have

117
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.680
you go through caves. I just
love the idea of smoke Monster, like

118
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:46.959
this this whole show. Like hearing
you describe the show to me, Yeah,

119
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.839
over the past day or so,
it just sounds like someone took like

120
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:56.519
season two of Twin Peaks off the
deep end and just is now just inventing

121
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.959
a billion different things that have no
hope of ever wrapping up in a satisfactory

122
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.600
fashion. That's kind of my sensation
of it. Like in the past two

123
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.600
seasons, it's definitely turned into that
which was which is disappointing because after the

124
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.000
first season, like the producers came
out and said, yeah, we're not

125
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.959
going to fall into the X Files
trap of building up all this mythology without

126
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.160
ever explaining anything. Yeah, and
then you told me that there's a guy

127
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.680
who's invisible on the show. What
the hell it's like they're just they're just

128
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.399
throwing every single like just played out
sci fi thing. It's like, oh,

129
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:28.680
there's magic, or there's that guy
has telepathy, or there's time travel

130
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.200
or ooh magnetic fields, and like
magnetic fields are real. Man, I'm

131
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.679
sorry to have to spring that on
you, but those actually happened. That's

132
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.559
a myth. That's a myth,
a myth perpetuated by scientists. That's the

133
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.600
smoke monsters at the North Pole right
now. Actually, yeah, and they

134
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.759
in the show, they do stuff
like they'll cut away to the North Pole

135
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.919
and there's something happening there, and
then they'll cut away to the desert and

136
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.080
you'll see like something that relates to
the island and it's like, oh,

137
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.279
what does that mean? I don't
know because you never tell me lost thanks.

138
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.960
Actually got into several heated arguments about
this recently with some of our engineers

139
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.159
and even my roommate. Uh,
They're like, no, what are you

140
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.279
talking about? It? Totally it's
gonna I'm like, nah, dude,

141
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.080
this is just gonna whatever, keep
keep going up its own button and it'll

142
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.559
never There's no way. They have
so many weird loose ends that I there

143
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:20.080
is absolutely no way that that show
is gonna wrap up satisfactorily. So but

144
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.080
yeah, I will never know.
You'll never know, and I'll watch it

145
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.000
and I'll go I was right or
I'll be wrong. I would love to

146
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.120
be wrong about this. I would
love to have J. J. Abrams

147
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.360
say, all right, check it
out, dude, here's this is what

148
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.519
we were thinking all along. We
were thinking this all along. I mean

149
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:35.960
supposedly they like came up with like
a bible of what their major plot points

150
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.200
were going to be at the beginning
of the show and like how that would

151
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.039
run over a sixth season run for
the show. But I don't know.

152
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.840
I just don't know. What is
this? What is that? What is

153
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.879
the smoke monster? We don't know, we don't know. It's it's a

154
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.240
monster. Like for the first for
the first season, they showed people looking

155
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.240
at the monster without showing it,
and they showed like from the monster's perspective,

156
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.120
and then whenever anyone would ask what
did you see, no one would

157
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.600
answer. That's the thing that makes
me most that's the thing that makes me

158
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.879
most crazy about that show is no
one ever talks to each other, and

159
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.639
when they do, they speak in
ellipsies. They always leave out the most

160
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:15.480
important pieces of information. So it's
about the narration video. Yeah, so

161
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.399
if two people are talking, they'll
both know what they're talking about, but

162
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.799
they won't include the viewer because they'll
leave out the bits like ooh, I

163
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:24.559
wonder what they're talking about. And
it's just I feel like that show just

164
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.240
jerks you around NonStop. Yeah,
as does the game, so in that

165
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.440
regards, perfect I guess. So
that's that's what I've been planning. Also

166
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.840
playing more More Condemned too, which
is quicked awesome. Yesterday you got to

167
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.960
see me put a dude's head into
a giant nomadic press. Yeah, that

168
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.919
was awesome, and then you turn
the wheel and dude's head exploded from being

169
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.639
crushed in a damn press. And
people curse really well in that game.

170
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.720
Yeah, a lot of that good
kind of muttering, like really angry sound.

171
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.200
Yeah yeah, it's it's the kind
of swearing where it's barely words,

172
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:01.679
where they're just so into cursing and
being angry at that moment, which is

173
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.240
really satisfying. So I'm still enjoying
that a fair deal. And so jeff

174
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:11.039
you, yesterday you got Rainbow six
Vegas two Vegas two, the sequel to

175
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.360
Las Vegas. Oh, the Second
Vegas, the Second Vegas. Yeah,

176
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:18.120
yeah, this is the latest Tom
Clancy game. Everyone loves those damned Tom

177
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.799
Clancy's, especially Tom Clancy and his
paychecks. He goes, wow, I'm

178
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.480
great they put so glad they put
my name on this one. Yeah.

179
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.840
But yeah, yeah, totally Rainbow
six Vegas the original game, a lot

180
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.919
of people loved it. Yeah,
this game doesn't seem like it's strays too

181
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:35.519
far from the course of the first
game, and obviously it's a different story.

182
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.759
Start too out in the Pyrenees,
which is pretty funny because that's not

183
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:41.720
at all Vegas. Yeah. No, during like the first two levels,

184
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:46.799
I just kept yelling at you,
that's not Vegas. It's just outside of

185
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.039
it. It's this is definitely not
Vegas. You're lying to me. He

186
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.799
plays his dude Bishop, who's you
know, kind of coming out of retirement

187
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.120
to lead this squad. And yeah, yeah, like pretty much right off

188
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.159
the bat, there's like a you're
you're chasing after some dudes's some chemical weapons

189
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.919
involved, and it goes from there. I'm somewhere, I guess I'm at

190
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.120
the start of Act three, and
that's not meaning the final third of the

191
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.440
game. It's just that they call
every mission in an act, okay,

192
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.720
and there are different scenes in the
acts. It does not follow the three

193
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:13.919
act structure right, not at all. Uh, the sub but it was

194
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.559
weird seeing like act three, like, oh, I must be nearly done.

195
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.480
Oh wait, this is this is
where I kept my revenge and win.

196
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.480
Uh yeah, it's uh, it's
cool. It seems I need to

197
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.840
go back to the first game and
play it some more to kind of verify

198
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.080
this. But I really get the
feeling that they streamline some of the stuff

199
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:35.440
with the controls and basically made it
a little bit easier to kind of pick

200
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.399
up and shoot. It's not,
you know, it's not the the easy

201
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.039
kind of call of duty, real
basic shooter. It is still a more

202
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.440
tactical game, a slower paced game
sure, which you're what you're having to

203
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.879
adjust too because you used to just
walking into rooms and smoking dudes. Yeah,

204
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:50.799
I want to walk into the room
and shoot dudes in the face.

205
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.759
And the game actually is pretty forgiving
on a lot of stuff cases like that,

206
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.720
where you can just kind of go
ahead and and and shoot a lot

207
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.840
of guys. It definitely has those
kind of higher action moments where you do

208
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.120
get to shoot a lot of guys
in a very short period of time and

209
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.840
not really think too much about the
tactics. But then there are cases where

210
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.519
you want to slow it down and
you're rolling with a pair of guys that

211
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.240
you can order around, and you
have them stack up against doors and have

212
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:18.720
them breach doors with flash bangs or
grenades or you know, different different ways

213
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.399
that they can run into a room
and clear it of enemies. Yeah,

214
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.240
and that's all pretty satisfying. It
has the same kind of snake cam thing

215
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.240
where you're sticking cameras under the door
and tagging enemies so that when they do

216
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.759
breach, they shoot the guys that
are pointed at the hostages you're trying to

217
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.639
save, as opposed to just some
guy who's smoking off in the corner or

218
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.639
something like that. So it sounds
like they're just kind of continuing to streamline

219
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:43.000
the Rainbow six tactical experience, because
the very first Rainbow six game was crazy.

220
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.080
Oh yeah, no, I mean
I think Graw was the first actually,

221
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.960
you know what, Graw was the
first game with Tom Clancy's name on

222
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.039
it that I thought was any good. Yeah, I don't care about splinter

223
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.200
Cell never have all those Rainbow six
games all that stuff. I I like

224
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:00.519
the last splitter Cell game. I
thought that one was pretty that was the

225
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.200
That was the first one I tried
to play since like the second one,

226
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.320
and I like some of the multiplayer
stuff in that game, but still didn't

227
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:11.679
finish it. Didn't want to,
just just lost interest about maybe halfway through

228
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.240
the campaign. But so so this
may be the another Tom Clancy game that

229
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.440
you approve of. Yeah, yeah, I think that that's pretty much where

230
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.679
it's at. The Vegas series and
the Grass series are are the Tom Clancy

231
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:28.799
games for the rest of us fantast
some sense, Yeah, you know,

232
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.639
some of the some of the early
word on the game that people people have

233
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:33.200
been putting out there are saying that, oh, this is Rainbow six Vegas

234
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:39.320
one point five, not Rainbowsi's Vegas
do, saying that the graphics haven't improved

235
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:41.679
that much, which they really haven't. It still looks nice though, but

236
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.399
it's still Yeah, it looks it
looks pretty good. And you look,

237
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.240
you look weird, I look weird. In the game, it has that

238
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:50.840
same kind of camera feature where you
can scan your head in face mapping for

239
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.320
you. Yeah, and you were
saying, it looks like like like if

240
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.480
if I was in an action movie
and they made an action figure out of

241
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:00.720
it, crappy action figure. It's
a little too pla sticky, and it's

242
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:01.480
like I could, oh, I
could see what they were trying to do.

243
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.240
They were trying to make it look
like Jeff but not quite. Yeah,

244
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.519
it's what happens when you don't let
Todd McFarland make your action figure exactly

245
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.799
with his stunning realism. My ears
are not that big. Yeah, it

246
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:15.679
made your ears crazy big. Yeah, but uh and then also your hairline

247
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.080
was really far back, which is
really weird. That's just maybe maybe I

248
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.799
didn't Maybe it's because I stopped the
picture at the top of my forehead as

249
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:24.480
opposed to scanning in all of my
hair. I don't know what you're supposed

250
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:26.559
to do if you're supposed to I
don't know where you're supposed to stop.

251
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.440
It wasn't really clear at what it
defined as the top of my head,

252
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.919
so I don't know. And I
also noticed when you're doing the face scanning,

253
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:35.879
it didn't really give you a lot
of options as far as like looking

254
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:37.240
at different angles of your dudes.
So that was a little bit difficult to

255
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:43.440
get it perfect. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, there's a lot of weird

256
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.240
little stuff like that. I kind
of fit and finish things that you would

257
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.879
expect from a sequel, where you
know, when you when you get out

258
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.759
of a ranked match, or if
you're trying to join a game that has

259
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.240
already started and you can't join it, yeah, it dumps you all the

260
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.279
way back out to the main menu. It's just it's just weird. Yeah,

261
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.919
it's supposed to Yeah, I supposed
like jumping you back into the all

262
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.240
right, well, I guess I'll
find another game then. And when a

263
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.200
ranked game ends, it drops you
out and says your connection to the host

264
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.080
has been lost. And then you
hit a on that and another screen comes

265
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:12.879
up and says you can't keep playing
with the same people in ranked games,

266
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:15.279
because then you could you know,
then you can cheat, yeah, and

267
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:19.879
effectively. And it's just it's just
weird that it seems like they just added

268
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.039
that in the last minute, like
to get people to realize why it kicks

269
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.679
them out to the main menu,
but it just shouldn't. It should kick

270
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.440
you back to the join another game
screen, so you can just kind of

271
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.320
keep going, Well, there you
go. Here's your your immediate impressions.

272
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:34.600
There's also you have a first impressions
of the game up on the site.

273
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.440
Yes, giant bomb dot com.
Oh, is that what's called. That's

274
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.240
where the website. We have a
website. Thanks for plugging your website on

275
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.960
my show. Sorry dude. While
we're on the topic of RAMBA six Vegas

276
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.799
two, let's talk about the sweet
Comcast map, right, Yeah, Well,

277
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:55.679
there is some weird advertising stuff in
there. You go through a convention

278
00:16:55.759 --> 00:17:00.519
center that's covered with MLG logos,
the Major League am Yes, I'm familiar

279
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:04.680
with them, those pro gamer types. So there's that in there. And

280
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:11.480
then also there's a on the menu
screen there's something that says like Comcast Extras,

281
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:17.640
And if you go to that screen
and type in Comcast faster two words

282
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:22.079
capital letters on this on Comcast and
faster, it unlocks a map called like

283
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:27.519
Comcast Event And it looks like it's
just like the same convention like event center

284
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:33.640
level or whatever, but with more
Comcast logos advertising. Yeah, it's it's

285
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.960
it's kind of I don't know,
it's kind of filled. Why is that

286
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.000
an unlockable if it's just the same
damn thing for the same reason that Burnout

287
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.000
has a circuit city car. You
know it's it's it's that same type of

288
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.240
deal bloss So so there's that.
If you want to get your your Comcast

289
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.519
event map and you got Rainbow six
Vegas too, that's how you do type

290
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:53.960
that in, it'll unlock it and
then you know you can play as that

291
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.359
in Terrorist Hunt and online and all
the other stuff the game has. I

292
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:02.920
think the cool part for that game
is it as co op throughout like Terrorist

293
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:06.640
Hunt. Also the storyline, and
I guess it actually has the full storyline

294
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:08.599
this time, as opposed to cutting
out cut scenes like the first one.

295
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:12.440
Did. Our garbage bag, Our
garbage bag just fell. We had a

296
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:15.160
garbage bag. Okay, we don't
have garbage cans in this office yet,

297
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.519
we're supposed to get them. We'll
do some video on a little bit to

298
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.000
show people. Yeah, yeah,
we'll shoot a video so you can kind

299
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.319
of see how we're podcasting. And
we actually have most of our new podcast

300
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.200
equipment. We're just missing a few
key pieces of it, so we're still

301
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:30.200
using the old stuff. Yep.
Yeah, So expect next week's show to

302
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:34.319
sound maybe better, hopefully hopefully better. We just spend all this damn money

303
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:38.000
bucks on mixers and mics and stuff. Yeah, so we had a garbage

304
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:44.720
bag threaded through the circuit breaker box. There's a little loop on it,

305
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.000
so I kind of pulled some of
the bag through there and it just fell

306
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.359
out because I think, I think
that means it's full, it's too heavy.

307
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:52.519
Yeah, I just put like a
half empty drink in there, so

308
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.240
that means that there's no potentially drink
slashing around in that bag. Whatever.

309
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:02.400
Uh So, moving on from from
Rainbow six v two and garbage, you

310
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:06.319
want to talk about our next drink? You're still enjoying the Iron I'm still

311
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:08.960
enjoying the Iron Brew. You keep
riding that you have. We have way

312
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.200
too many drinks on our I got
like a half empty root beer over here

313
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:15.839
that I had is kind of like
my backup drink in case either one of

314
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.240
these drinks is awful. Yeah,
which so far going pretty good, although

315
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.839
I don't know. I've I've gotten
maybe like halfway down to the label on

316
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.039
this bottle, and I'm not sure
that I can drink a lot of this

317
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.920
at once. Yeah, it's a
little it's maybe a little much. YEA.

318
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:34.240
On the Iron Brew? You want
you want to talk about our our

319
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:37.559
second drink. Now, sure,
yeah, let's open. Let's gonna have

320
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.880
three open drinks over here. Let's
do that. Let's make that happen.

321
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:45.160
I've got two going as well,
So let's let's up the Annie passion fruit,

322
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:49.400
pineapple, ginger, vitamins B twelve
and C, and guarana. Those

323
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.480
are all the things on the top
of this can. Uh. So,

324
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.400
yeah, I'll let you set this
one up, since again you were the

325
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.160
point of contact on this right.
It also says get it on down here

326
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.200
by the ingredients, which I've been
known to get it on and I enjoy

327
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:04.160
it. Well, Jeff, let's
get it on. Okay. Wait,

328
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:07.839
I don't think that means what you
think it No, no, no,

329
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:15.480
no. Uh. This is Mojo
Energy Drink from the people at Mojo Sciences

330
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:21.039
in Los Angeles. And actually,
so we got two cases of this stuff

331
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:26.279
from Mojo Sciences. They heard that
we were talking drinks, yep, and

332
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:27.480
the president of the company wrote and
said, hey, I want to send

333
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:32.759
you a couple of cases. I
said, hell yes, and uh and

334
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:34.160
it showed up yesterday. So here
we are. So, Jeff, I

335
00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:38.279
think this this is the sign for
me that we've made it this is really

336
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:42.640
yeah, really starting to get free
games in the mail again, like like

337
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:45.960
condemned in Vegas, like that was
signed number one. But this is this

338
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:48.119
is a bet. Much is where
the rubber hits the road. Baby.

339
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:53.000
It's a way better sign getting people
coming to us wanting us to taste their

340
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:56.720
drinks and then talk about them.
And I want to I want to preface

341
00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:03.160
this by saying, I feel no
obligation to h to be overly positive about

342
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.480
this. I put the same harsh
critical eye towards this that I have.

343
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:08.400
That's alright, we take these drink
tastings very seriously. You know. It's

344
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:12.519
swaying attempting to sway us with free
drinks. Not would have bought this drink

345
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:18.599
eventually, indeed. All right,
so crack it, all right, give

346
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:25.240
it a sense it little smell,
kind of citrusy, kind of sit Yeah,

347
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.519
smuzzled, dangerous also maybe like a
squirts, but yeah, it smells

348
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:36.440
like something that would have liquor in
it or would be used or would be

349
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:41.359
used to clean automotive parts. No, no, I know my solvents.

350
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:47.319
I know very well what solvents smell
like. This is not smell like all

351
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:51.519
right, Well, the smells like
like the like Go Joe orange cleaner.

352
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:56.680
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, it's
got a fresh for a refreshing all right,

353
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:03.680
here we go. Whoa, whoa. I'm gonna say immediately the ginger

354
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:08.640
is very Chinese restaurant is very prominent
in the flavor. Yeah yeah, definitely,

355
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.039
I'm getting a very strong kind of
ginger beer and that is Is that

356
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:17.079
why immediately equated this to eating Chinese
food? Yeah? Probably, yeah,

357
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:23.400
probably. Let's I want to give
it another go here. Oh uh,

358
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:30.279
I see what they were going for. Not great at least it doesn't have

359
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:32.839
kind of like a It doesn't really
give you a nasty after taste. It

360
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:37.079
gives you everything and it's got you
in the face and then says like all

361
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.359
right, cool it lets you know
what it's all about right up front.

362
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.440
It's kind of weird how it like
it disappears so quickly like tasting, you're

363
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:52.799
like, whoa, that's crazy,
what happened? Every time I take another

364
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:55.559
sip, it's like a surprise all
over again, like whoa, it's like

365
00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:03.960
you still taste like that. I
forgot what it tasted like. I'm not

366
00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:07.519
really well, yeah, I don't
know. It's I'm not really into it.

367
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:11.079
Well, I don't know. It's
definitely different. It's different. This

368
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:12.759
does not taste like any other energy
beverage that I've had, and I've had

369
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:18.119
my fair share. I'm not really
tasting the pineapple or the passion of fruit.

370
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:19.839
I feel like the or the vitamins
B twelve and C. Definitely not

371
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:26.160
tasting the beat. Uh uh.
The ginger, I think is is pretty

372
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.559
Oh it's on there, right up
on top. This is very fruit forward

373
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:40.000
for sure. The heavy nose,
a nice earthy finish okay, okay,

374
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:45.920
sense and hints of tobacco and cherry
notes of yeah. Uh but yeah.

375
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:49.200
So if you like ginger, yeah, definitely like yeah, if you if

376
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:53.119
you're into like a ginger beer or
Chinese food, I guess, I guess

377
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:56.200
yeah. And you want to be
reminded of that while you're trying to stay

378
00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:00.039
up late, check out Mojo Energy
Drink. Yeah, I guess so.

379
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.039
I guess we should charge the rest
of this and see how the the energy

380
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:04.839
portion works. By the end of
the show, we should know no,

381
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:10.000
well whatever, all right, Jeff, you can do that. I will.

382
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:14.000
In the meantime, look at what
our next topic would be, all

383
00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:15.640
right, what else do we want
to talk about here. Oh, while

384
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:19.480
we're talking about about games, Uh, you want to talk about Space Invader.

385
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:26.039
Yeah, yeah, totally. There's
a video on the YouTube which is

386
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:29.720
a site on the internet, oh
the world Wide Web, Right, that's

387
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:32.920
the one where you can watch videos, And there's a video up for Space

388
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:38.720
Invaders Extreme, which looks awesome.
It looks like someone took Space Invaders had

389
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:41.079
crossed it with luminess. Yeah.
Like it's got like a kind of a

390
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.440
rhythm based thing to it, and
it's like it's a lot faster than old

391
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:48.799
school Space Invader. Yeah, it
looks like it just is constantly changing up

392
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:55.240
and has like crazy color cycling background
madness. So we ordered a copy of

393
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:56.960
that. Waiting for that to show
up. I think that's that's gonna probably

394
00:24:57.039 --> 00:25:00.160
end up that's out on PSP and
DS. I think that's gonna end up

395
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:07.160
being our first first bit of PSP
coverage unless something happens between us ordering it

396
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.480
and it's showing up. Right,
which is the reason why there is not

397
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:14.680
yet a PSP tab on the site
for people who are wondering, right,

398
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:17.519
we don't. We don't have tabs
on the site for platforms. We have

399
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:19.599
not yet covered because if you went
and clicked on APSP tab right now,

400
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:22.839
you wouldn't get it. It would
just be busted. Yeah, it would

401
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:25.640
just be all, what what are
you talking about? It's it's just yeah,

402
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:27.720
it's been funny like as we've been
adding those tabs like people have been,

403
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:32.599
we've basically been shutting people up every
time. You're like, why don't

404
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:34.240
you have a wee tabs? You
guys hate the wee? You guys hate

405
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:37.279
the wee Huh. It's like,
no, we just haven't written the Smash

406
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:41.480
Brothers review yet. And now there's
a wee tab, so there you go.

407
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.599
And it was and yeah, yeah, and now we have a DS

408
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:52.400
tab. And when we first started
it was PC Arcade six and Arcade is

409
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:55.160
still up there, which I think
it's hilarious. Well, you keep talking

410
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:56.960
about the damn Street Fighter four,
so right, it's actually, yeah,

411
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:00.680
it's more relevant now than it's been
in a very long time. And you

412
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.480
got shut down on your dream of
buying an arcade board thank god. Yeah.

413
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:07.839
Yeah, I was actually very close
to just writing a rebuttal to your

414
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:14.000
posting dude, what, No,
that is a poor expenditure of company money.

415
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:15.720
No, I probably would I don't
think I would have put that on

416
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:19.000
the company. I think i'd probably
have your money, as I would have

417
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:23.079
spent my money on it. Why
did I do this? But yeah,

418
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:29.200
So NCS posted an offering saying that
they were taking pre orders for street Fighter

419
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:32.519
four kits. And these aren't the
full cabinets, is just the boards and

420
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:36.319
basically the innerds of a street Fighter
for machine. And they were selling them

421
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:38.440
for about twenty five hundred bucks twenty
six hundred bucks, and they would and

422
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:45.759
uh, I guess it's gonna ship
in late August August twentieth, and so

423
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.880
I posted a story to the site
on Friday just saying like, dude,

424
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.640
we listen, who's with me?
We're getting a street Fighter and and Shawn

425
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.680
upstairs posted a comment saying, dude, can't we just expense this. Let's

426
00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:57.799
just do it. And I'm like, yeah, We're just do it.

427
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:02.720
And then like by the next day, and CS had posted something saying like,

428
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:07.799
sorry, our supplier was misinformed.
These are actually only to be sold

429
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:10.319
in kits of four, so you
can only buy four. So if we

430
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:14.200
wanted to buy four street Fighter machines, we could probably do that. We

431
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:18.960
could have the the Northern California Distribution
for street Fighter four machines on lock.

432
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.279
Yeah, yeah, you want to
street Fire, So I guess maybe you

433
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:26.319
know, if NCS can still get
these from these suppliers, you could probably

434
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.559
ride them and ask maybe you and
three other friends could go in and each

435
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.680
BIA street Fighter for kit. Oh. I hope no one has three friends

436
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.039
like that. I wish I had
friends like that. I hope that doesn't

437
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:41.119
exist anywhere. That's the easiest way
to spend a lot of money on dumb

438
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.759
things is to have friends that are
with you in doing it. I mean

439
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.240
that's yeah, you push each other
into just like we should just do that.

440
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:51.559
Yeah, let's just do it.
Let's get sidekicks, like when we

441
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:55.839
went and got sidekicks when those sidekicks
first came out, or like when I

442
00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:00.359
when I bought my my Sony airboard, my future TV, my wire TV.

443
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.920
Yeah that was all because we were
in Japan and I was with a

444
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:07.839
mirror yeah, and we were both
just like, yeah, dude, we're

445
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:10.680
so gonna go get those tomorrow.
Let's go. And we went and I

446
00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:12.319
was like filling out the paperwork from
mine and I turned him and going like

447
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:15.759
all right, dude, and he's
like, yeah, no, I can't.

448
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:18.559
Oh he punked you out. And
she's like, oh dude, you

449
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:21.599
got faced. That's a burn right
there. He had to buy his car.

450
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:23.880
He just bought his cars some excuse. That's that's fair. And then

451
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.119
of course they came out with a
better airboard like three months later, and

452
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:29.079
I was like, ah, but
actually gets a lot of use. But

453
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:30.880
should but he shouldn't have goosed you
like that. I'm fair. Yes,

454
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:33.880
it was way cool. Like I'll
do that. I'll say, I'll tell

455
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:36.480
you, dude, yeah, go
do it, but I'm not gonna try

456
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:37.599
and fake like I'm gonna do it
with you. I think he I think

457
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.279
he was. I think he was
just he thought that we would both forget

458
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.160
or or I don't know what.
He thought. Well, we'll get him

459
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:47.920
on here is and when we get
the rest of our equipment, we will

460
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:53.359
get a phone interview with ea LA's
own mirror Johnny. Figure out what exactly

461
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:59.119
went down, man, clear up
the contracts in Ike's apartment. Man,

462
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:02.519
if that what if that doesn't mean
something? What does in this crazy world?

463
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:04.599
Well, I'll tell you something that
does make sense, Jeff. It's

464
00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:11.720
free downloadable content for Burnout Paradise.
Yeah, so everyone's favorite insane Englishman.

465
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:17.640
Alex Ward, creative director at Criterion, the creators of of Burnout, has

466
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:22.119
come out and said we're gonna put
out some some expansions, including a couple

467
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:26.799
of islands of actual new territory for
Yeah, for Gratis, there's there's a

468
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.440
big there's a big chunk of water
in that game. Yeah, and you

469
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:34.000
could. Yeah, They're they're gonna
fill that up with some islands, some

470
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:37.759
stuff, and they're gonna do that
for free, which is totally cool.

471
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:38.720
They had mentioned before that you know, they were going to try and have

472
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:42.400
some free DLC. Yeah, uh, and it's it's good to see that.

473
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:45.480
Then they're you know, from there
came the question when they're talking about

474
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:48.880
having some paid some free. It's
like, okay, you know, if

475
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:52.119
it's gonna be like locations are paid, then is that going to mess up

476
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:55.720
the online Like how is that going
to affect? Is that gonn affect who

477
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:57.559
you can join with? Is that
gonna splinter the market? Right? Well,

478
00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:00.440
they'll just be like if you if
you don't have it, will you

479
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:02.839
drive up to the island to just
see a big gate that says no,

480
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:07.519
dude, pay us and then and
then you see your other players magically flying

481
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:11.000
through the gate. Yeah, or
if if you're playing with someone who if

482
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:12.319
the host bought it, then you
can drive on it, but you have

483
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:17.160
to download it every time like an
UNO deck. But a non issue apparently

484
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:22.319
because because and this, this is
starting to make all the stuff about requiring

485
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.839
a hard drive for online play a
lot clearer. Sure, sure, yeah,

486
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.720
you can only play the online stuff, I guess if if you have

487
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:33.240
a hard drive on the three sixty
version of course. Uh. And people

488
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.839
were kind of up in arms about
that, which you know, I didn't

489
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.519
really get two up in arms about
it, because I think if you're serious

490
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:45.359
enough to want to play a lot
of online, you were probably serious enough

491
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:49.039
to buy the three sixty that has
a hard drive, agreed. So there's

492
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:52.400
that, And then you can imagine
them maybe just charging for cars. Yeah,

493
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.119
I mean that's kind of the speculations
cars and challenges like. I assume

494
00:30:56.160 --> 00:31:00.440
that they will have downloadable challenge packs
because one of the achievement for complete challenges

495
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:06.200
references excluding DALC. Yeah, excluding
DLC. So that was something that when

496
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:07.480
they wrote those, they were at
least thinking, hey, we could have

497
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:11.480
challenges for online put content, which
I think it would be great on account

498
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.759
of I've already finished all three hundred
and fifty challenges. I'm still I'm very

499
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:21.759
close to being done with with with
Burnout Paradise. I still have a few

500
00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:25.480
Gates and Johns. I think I'm
actually at this point, I still have

501
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:27.160
maybe forty races to go to get
my Elite license, but I think at

502
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:30.559
this point, I'm just gonna wait
for the download stuff to come out and

503
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:33.880
then go back to it and do
all that stuff. So yeah, So

504
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.920
Alex Ward also does officially say that
yeah, it's not all going to be

505
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.640
free, but he doesn't really expand
on that much. So people are speculating

506
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:48.000
that that'll be charged for cars and
challenges, but we'll see about that,

507
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:51.519
and we still don't have any sort
of release information about that. But yeah,

508
00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:55.799
the weird stuff, the whole downloadle
bit content free versus paid thing,

509
00:31:55.960 --> 00:32:00.200
is really kind of crazy because,
yeah, companies that keep kind of coming

510
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:04.279
out, like Valve came out and
said we would love it if all of

511
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:09.440
the Orange Box content was free to
download on consoles, but Sony and Microsoft

512
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:14.359
have a say in that decision,
and it's kind of on them, right,

513
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:16.519
And it's it's I don't know,
it's it's kind of a little a

514
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:20.240
little messed up of Valve, but
but great in the long run that they

515
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:22.640
came out and said that, because
it really does put the onus on Sony

516
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:25.200
and Microsoft's to say, like,
hey, do you want to do what

517
00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:29.160
the developer wants to do and actually
do this for free or are you going

518
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:32.359
to cover your bandwidth costs that you
will have to pay to distribute this content

519
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:37.000
and charge for it. And that's
that's that's kind of the hold up is

520
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:42.519
that you know they have to host
those files on their servers and pay for

521
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.400
that bandwidth, so it is costing
them money to distribute even the free content.

522
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:50.920
So if they want them, though, then theoretically aren't aren't isn't stuff

523
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:54.920
like that supposed to be covered with
my annual Xbox Live righte? Yeah,

524
00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:58.839
you would think at least on the
the Xbox side that that would cover it.

525
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:01.519
Though still remembers can download that stuff, so maybe that's where they could

526
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:06.799
They could have the split like it's
free download for Gold members but not for

527
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:10.079
Silver. That seems like that seems
reasonably fair. That seems like a good

528
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:13.279
benefit for the people that are paying, it, says the guys who have

529
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:16.519
Gold accounts, right, I'd be
down with that. Yeah, if it's

530
00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:19.640
free for me, that sounds great. I have two Gold accounts. Do

531
00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:21.680
I get it free twice? Yeah? I guess you could. Yeah,

532
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:24.480
Uh, I guess. Moving on
from here, we talked a little bit

533
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:29.759
about Street Fight or four before.
I briefly want to mention they have released

534
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:31.839
some information about some of the new
fighters, some of their new abilities,

535
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:37.599
and also, yeah, the crazy
Mexican wrestler, which was also a gourmet

536
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.200
chef, which you're into and I
think couldn't be more played out. I

537
00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:47.559
feel like having the luchador adding him
to your game is like the desperate thing

538
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:52.400
that it seems like all fighting games
late in their lives are doing. Like

539
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:55.440
Virtual Fight or five had Raymistereo Junior
in it. Yeah, basically yeah,

540
00:33:55.599 --> 00:34:00.359
and yeah, yeah, I'd think
he's a good looking character and that it

541
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:04.079
could be he could have interesting moves
in that kind of two D fighter street

542
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:07.359
fighter context. Yeah, I guess
it's just kind of an archetype that I

543
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:12.239
feel is is quickly becoming played out. I think you're played out. Okay,

544
00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:16.280
fair enough, but I didn't want
to mention out of this that they

545
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:23.280
have mentioned some of the new characters
moves and Crimson Viper has a move called

546
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:29.679
that's the Lady called the thunder knuckle. I had a bad case a thunder

547
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:31.840
knuckle last summer. It laid you
up pretty bad. Yeah, like I

548
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:34.679
was. I was. Yeah,
I was holding up in my house for

549
00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:36.960
a couple of weeks. I had
to go get some penicill and shots clearly

550
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:39.519
right up the device in her glove
and it's a powerful electric shock as Viper

551
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:44.760
charges forward the jab version of the
device in her glove. Yeah, what

552
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:47.880
are we like trying to explain how
Street Fighter works? Now? Midic Clarian's

553
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:54.440
are how she uses How does Ken
throw a fireball with Wu Tang magic?

554
00:34:54.679 --> 00:35:00.559
Okay? Or shall in magic?
I guess show to con magic do totally

555
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:05.639
different, right, So, yeah, apparently she has a device that's I

556
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:08.280
don't know how I feel about that. I don't I don't know about controversial

557
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:13.760
women with devices? Are women even
allowed to have devices? I don't know.

558
00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:20.000
Apparently in the world street Fighter and
the other guy's able, right,

559
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:22.599
And what's he is like a he's
like martial artists. He's like a dude.

560
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:28.159
I think he's I think he's your
Chuck Ladell. He's the iceman Chuck

561
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:30.280
Ladell, and I don't know both
of those. Just yeah, like the

562
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:35.239
luchador and the MMO guy or the
mm A guy, right, yeah,

563
00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:37.360
MMO guy would be way funnier.
Though. It's just like a guy in

564
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:44.039
an office chair that just keeps emitting
strange smells. Stay away from the MMO

565
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:46.199
guy. Here he am he charges
down then up and it just makes a

566
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:51.239
horrible noise. But yeah, but
I don't know, like, yeah,

567
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:54.360
having the your UFC guy in your
fighting games, like, look, this

568
00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:59.360
is what's happening in the world of
fighting today. Yeah, yeah, Able

569
00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:02.039
and Crimson Viper gave me a real
just SMK vibe. Yeah. No,

570
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:06.920
looking like Viper especially, Yeah,
they just look like like I just thought,

571
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:08.159
oh, it's king, Like,
oh am I gonna be yeah right

572
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:12.000
am, I gonna like finish her
with a fireball and it's gonna bust her

573
00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:14.960
shirt open? Does that doesn't work
like that? That? They should totally

574
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:21.039
just do that. They should straight
up just bite that off of off off.

575
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.039
I don't he sk fighting guy.
Isn't that all K fighting games?

576
00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:30.559
Yeah? Pretty much? And as
as another minor side here. What's up?

577
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:37.039
My mind cannot differentiate between artifighting and
fatal fury anymore. I can't remember

578
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:39.920
which one King is in because of
King of Fighters mashing them all together,

579
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:44.519
I can't, right, I just
think of her as being from Fighters,

580
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:46.960
right, Well, they all came
from somewhere, did they? Aren't there

581
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:51.199
a bunch of characters that only show
I guess now? Yeah, it's fine,

582
00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:53.079
Okay, all the ones that matter, But even the two d ones

583
00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:58.159
weren't weren't some of them are all
still two d on Goose Howard Geese from

584
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:04.280
Okay, Goose Goose, Howard good
Old, your favorite fighters like Goose Howard,

585
00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:09.920
Barry Bogard coming soon from SKN.
We got all the hits here.

586
00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:16.000
Uh so they're making King, They're
making a Prince of Persia film, Jeff

587
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:22.000
Great More movies about games, Jerry
Jerry Bruckheimer. Oh well, Jay Brooks

588
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:23.159
involved, and I'm that I'm in, he says when they cut the commercial

589
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:29.679
to go, he's behind the wheel. And I guess there was the iesb

590
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:35.360
dot Net had a or they got
their hands on a worldwide casting survey.

591
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:37.199
People trying to figure out, you
know, who they want to have be

592
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:44.280
the prince to stand in the movie
Edward Norton. Uh And apparently the the

593
00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:50.360
guy that both international and US audience
is overwhelmingly voted for was David kay Zandi,

594
00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:54.800
a motion picture executive actor, sham
champion, equestrian model, and honest

595
00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:59.440
to goodness Persian prince. And I'm
looking at a picture of him right here

596
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:02.280
and said that he beat out,
you know, like Killian Murphy and Orlando

597
00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:07.280
Bloom and zach Efron. Why was
anyone considering zach Efron from that role?

598
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:10.679
It's like the worst. Oh,
I don't know, It's like the stupidest

599
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:15.440
casting you could possibly have. Yeah, well he need a lot more he

600
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:17.639
need a lot more fake tan to
pull it off, though. Yeah,

601
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:22.800
but this guy, totally, this
is probably the most authentic looking Prince of

602
00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:25.679
Persia that I could, I could
hope to see in that film. So

603
00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:30.280
I hope that they do go in
that direction or they go with zac Efron.

604
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:32.119
I hope they either go ye authentic
or just like he Check it out.

605
00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:36.559
We're Hollywood, right, yeah,
check it out. We're crapping all

606
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:40.679
over something you like yet again?
Enjoy, please come see it. Please

607
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:45.519
don't download this movie? All right? Next next up on my list of

608
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:49.840
fun stories that I like, which
is pretty much what this show is all

609
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:53.880
about. Apparently. Yeah, uh
Namco Bandai is bringing mister Driller to Xbox

610
00:38:54.000 --> 00:39:00.039
Live Arcade. Yeah, I am
excited about that because I love me some

611
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:04.800
mister Driller. I actually I love
me some mister Driller. But I have

612
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:08.280
to say I'm kind of over it, really kind of want to go skiing.

613
00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:12.440
I don't know. It's a mister
Driller. It's what you know.

614
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:14.440
I mean, it's still gonna be
the same, although it's gonna be the

615
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:20.239
same. This is now online,
okay, and an HD that's high definition,

616
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:23.280
Oh high deaf. Well, if
it's high deaf, it's high mister

617
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:28.599
Driller and high def. Dig dug
in mister Driller. Yeah, they're in

618
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:30.519
there. And in this like picture
of the title screen, there is totally

619
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:35.360
a little anime uh dig Doug hanging
out in the background. So or whatever.

620
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:37.320
They don't call him. They don't
just call him dig Doug. No,

621
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:40.199
his actual name is something else that
it's and it's like a play on

622
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:45.960
words in Japanese right that they think
is hysterical that we just go it don't

623
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:47.320
make no sense. Just call him
dig Doug. Mister his name is Dick

624
00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:50.519
Dug. Right, Oh, man, dig Dug, call him dig Dugger

625
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:52.159
and spilled Doug with it. Oh
you in and instead of just to use

626
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:55.480
dig Douglas. I sure, dude, dig Doug me too, man.

627
00:39:55.599 --> 00:40:00.559
That guy can party. Uh yea
time man, we went out, damn

628
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:05.760
welcome in jail. Yeah. I
guess it's been long enough since I've played

629
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:08.760
a Mister Driller game that I'm just
happy to have a new excuse to play

630
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:12.639
more Mister Driller. Yeah. I
have my Dreamcast hooked up. I hooked

631
00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:15.280
it up recently, so I actually
straight up you have a mister Driller device.

632
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:19.320
Yeah, I have a Mister Driller
friendly device. And they did that

633
00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:22.440
like there's a d H there's a
DS game, wasn't there. Yeah,

634
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:25.840
definitely four years ago, right,
Yeah, they definitely have seventies. They

635
00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:30.000
made some some new Mister Driller stuff. Yeah. I think my problem with

636
00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:34.440
Mister Driller is that I really really
loved the first game and then they just

637
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:37.079
have remade it over and over again
since like none of the changes they've made

638
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:42.119
perfect. It is because you can't
beat one hundred percent. Jeff, I

639
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:46.159
guess you're right. I guess that
makes sense. Just follow follow that,

640
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:51.679
all right, fine, but that
doesn't mean I well, well, it's

641
00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:53.920
coming out in Japan sometime this spring, so I imagine it'll it'll hit us

642
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:59.000
Xbox Lab Arricade at some point thereafter. Kind of a bummer week for Xbox

643
00:40:59.079 --> 00:41:01.719
Lab Arcade. Yeah, let's let's
talk about that. Doom and Assault Heroes

644
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:05.599
are being cut from eight hundred points
to four hundred points, which is great

645
00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:08.159
if you didn't buy Doom or Assault
Heroes, but we did it for us,

646
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:12.079
so yeah, let's let's let's wind
that bag. It's not a bummer

647
00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:15.239
week for Xbox Lab Arcade. It's
a bummer week for us for Xbox Live

648
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:19.559
Arcade. I think they're one and
the same. I don't, I don't

649
00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:22.679
know. I like see this is
interesting to me because I wondered this from

650
00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:27.239
the start, you know, whether
they were going to start reducing the prices

651
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:30.559
of back catalog stuff, because you
know, the logic of reducing prices on

652
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:34.800
in a retail environment is to get
stuff off of shelves. But since there's

653
00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:39.400
theoretically unvirtual shelves, unlimited virtual shelf
space on Xbox Libricade, they could just

654
00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:42.440
keep everything up for as long as
they want, and they could, you

655
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:44.559
know, sell it for however much
they want to. Yeah, and I

656
00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:49.119
guess they're experimenting with the trying to
goose sales on on older products and dud.

657
00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:52.679
Five bucks for that version of Doom
and five bucks for Assault Heroes is

658
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.480
yeah, those are both. Those
are both solid games. A saut Heroes

659
00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:59.239
is awesome, and they're working on
a sequel to Assault Heroes, which I'm

660
00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:02.000
pretty happy about, absolutely, because
I could use a good dual joystick shooter

661
00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:07.199
after playing so much Rocket Man,
which was not a great dual joystick shooter.

662
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:10.719
You'll give that an anaconda. I'll
give that a snake wrapped around a

663
00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:15.639
Chris sandwich preventing you from getting at
the Kris sandwich out of five or is

664
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:19.599
the cry sandwich keeping you from getting
at the snake? Think about it,

665
00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:22.400
think about it. That doesn't make
any sense. But if I want the

666
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.559
what if I want the snake and
I'm allergic to chrissand which is if you're

667
00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:29.800
allergic tore sandwich is go outside and
blow your brains out. You have to

668
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:30.800
do it outside, Yeah, because
I don't want to clean up in here.

669
00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:32.800
I guess it would be kind of
messy. Yeah, I couldn't use

670
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:36.159
this chair again after that. Yeah, well, I don't know, I

671
00:42:36.199 --> 00:42:39.639
wouldn't mind too much. Uh So, So yeah, that's so nothing new

672
00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:43.960
coming out on Xbox Live Arcade this. Yeah, and it's There's another interesting

673
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:45.880
story I saw about it was it
was one of the people that are one

674
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:52.679
of the firms that are developing for
we Wear uh complaining about Xbox Live RCAD

675
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:57.760
just saying that it's full of SS, It's full of S, it's full

676
00:42:57.800 --> 00:43:00.760
of that ish. Yeah, that
that because of all the crap games on

677
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:05.639
Xbox Lave Arcade, that he didn't
want to make more games for that because

678
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:09.119
it would just get buried under mountains
of retro stuff. I guess the problem

679
00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:14.400
I have with that argument is,
what about all of the virtual console stuff

680
00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:17.039
on the Wii? Is that not
exactly the same thing, Dude, It's

681
00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:21.199
a separate button. Okay, Okay, there's a we wear button, ann

682
00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:25.639
a virtual console button, so it's
totally different. That's a week I read

683
00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:29.719
I read this. I read the
same thing of these guys talking about it,

684
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:34.559
and I feel like there are other
things bothering this guy about Xbox Libricide

685
00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:38.400
development beyond right. It's it's similar
to the argument there some of the stuff

686
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:43.039
that Jeff Menter was saying in the
wake of Space Giraffe, where he was

687
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:45.599
he was just super distraught. He
was he was updating this blog and he

688
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:50.840
said, stopped updating. I think, uh where he was just like totally

689
00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:57.079
couldn't just just couldn't come to grips
with the concept that the Frogger outsold Space

690
00:43:57.159 --> 00:44:00.480
Giraffe, that this, you know, remake of Frogger, This this emulated

691
00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:06.119
version of Frogger outsold his original new
game, not even particularly well emulated,

692
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:08.000
right, Yeah, that it wasn't
like a great it was not a great

693
00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:12.599
version of Frogger, though. I
mean, you know, you can make

694
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:16.800
the argument that a large chunk of
his game is tempest. Sure, it's

695
00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:22.119
it's it's a don't. But also
that Space Draft is completely impenetrable to anyone

696
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:24.480
who isn't crazy. I love Space
Draft. Yeah, it's a little tough.

697
00:44:24.559 --> 00:44:29.320
I have not played a lot of
Space Draff. I guess Space Draft

698
00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:31.519
is a game that I respect.
Yeah, but no, I yeah,

699
00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:36.719
I respect and love it. But
at the same time, if you came

700
00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:38.719
to me and said, hey,
dude, Frogger outsold Space Draff. I'd

701
00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:43.440
be like, well, yeah,
no kidding, because people get Frogger.

702
00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:47.039
So I think that, you know, really, if developers are having these

703
00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:52.719
sorts of problems and can't cope with
the concept of twenty year old arcade games

704
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:58.000
out selling them, then maybe they
need to look into getting the word out

705
00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:00.960
about their games a little bit better
on line and in print or something like

706
00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:06.440
that, because, I mean,
the coverage of upcoming Xbox Live arcade games

707
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:09.159
has been pretty abysmal because a lot
of that stuff isn't made available to the

708
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:16.400
press beforehand. And also and and
just the nature. I think more developers

709
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:21.519
need to get on Microsoft about having
a really good schedule for games. I

710
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:24.400
have to imagine that they cut these
prices and are doing this this week because

711
00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:29.440
something fell through. There was probably
some game that they originally had scheduled and

712
00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:31.880
went, oh wait, crap,
that game totally failed. Sert well,

713
00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:35.119
we could we could do this price
drop we were thinking about, Like,

714
00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:37.000
I wouldn't be surprised if that was
the case. So it's just like shoring

715
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:40.840
up all that stuff and making it
a more reliable channel that you can easily,

716
00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:44.000
you know, so you can promote
these games ahead of time to the

717
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:46.039
audience and say, hey, guess
what spaced Raft or you know, whatever

718
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:50.719
game is coming out three weeks from
now, here's a video of it you

719
00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:52.679
can download. Here's some more information
about it. You know, then you

720
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:59.280
wouldn't have these situations where cool games
like Undertow don't sell anything because no one

721
00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:01.000
has any idea what Undertow is.
You tell someone, hey, dude,

722
00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:04.559
froggers out, they go, oh, frogger, I remember that. I'll

723
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:07.000
totally pay five bucks where you tell
them there's this game undertow and I don't

724
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:13.159
know it's underwater. So if you
come at me with your downloadable game that

725
00:46:13.559 --> 00:46:15.559
I've never heard of before from a
developer that no one's ever heard of before,

726
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:19.719
right, you know, without much
of a you know, kind of

727
00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:22.719
marketing or advertising push. Although again, you know, these these are games

728
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.719
that are often being published and produced
by people who don't have budgets for that

729
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:30.119
kind of stuff, right, And
I think that that's something that Microsoft has

730
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:31.800
to get better at. Yeah,
you know, because they take a chunk

731
00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:35.320
of these sales. It's in their
best interests to make sure that these games

732
00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:38.920
do well, especially in cases where
they're only available via Xbox Live Arcade,

733
00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:43.920
because that helps sell the service to
people, you know, helps helps people

734
00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:46.079
understand why they want an Xbox three
sixty or you know. I think the

735
00:46:46.119 --> 00:46:49.440
same goes for Sony. They just
don't have as big of a catalog,

736
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:52.199
but they're gonna have the same problem
they have their Mortal Kombat twos and their

737
00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:55.559
Cuberts and all that. I think
that it's just a matter of figuring out

738
00:46:55.599 --> 00:46:59.760
a way to get out in front
of people and showing them these games before

739
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:02.440
they come out, and letting and
letting them prepare themselves for the game's release

740
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:06.519
instead of just like the day before
or two days before, going, Hey,

741
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:08.039
Bliss Island's coming out. What's Bliss
Island? Dude, I don't know.

742
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:13.519
Fuzzy something puzzle? Nah? Eight
ten bucks. The more I think

743
00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:16.079
about this, and that was five
bucks. The more the more I think

744
00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:21.000
about still, the more ridiculous it
is to me that, you know,

745
00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:25.400
people are basically complaining there's too much
competition. Yeah, I can't sell I

746
00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:29.719
can't sell well because there are too
many other things out there for people to

747
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:32.000
buy. What do you think is
going to look like months from now or

748
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:35.519
you know, six months after it's
release. Guess what. I don't mean

749
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:38.519
to be a jerk about it,
but poor baby, you know, deal

750
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:43.840
with the open market system. Yeah, while we're on the topic of Xbox

751
00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:47.039
Live Arcade, one of my personal
favorite XBLA releases from last year, puzzle

752
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:52.639
quests quests in effect, Challenge of
the Warlords, is getting an expansion pack,

753
00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:57.679
and that is an Xbox Live Arcade
game. Now, they've they've we've

754
00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:02.119
seen like got some kind of content
packs, you know, of new vehicles

755
00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:06.639
or levels or you know, multiplayer
stuff for various Xbox Library Aid games.

756
00:48:06.679 --> 00:48:10.159
But I think this is the first
occurrence of an actual Undertow, like I

757
00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:14.239
just said, Undertow. So so
this is the first time that this has

758
00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:17.599
ever happened except for Undertow. It's
it's kind of interesting. It's groundbreaking of

759
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:21.119
them to to, you know,
try this to be the first ones out

760
00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:23.000
there. It's it's it's pretty daring. You mean Undertow. No, I'm

761
00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:28.440
talking about puzzle quests. I'm sorry, what were you talking about Undertow.

762
00:48:29.039 --> 00:48:31.880
There's expansion for the Undertow, was
there. Well, I'm not excited about

763
00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:37.440
Undertow. Yeah, I'm excited about
the underwater Battlefield well, here's my question.

764
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:42.280
Did the people who make Undertow allow
players to name the expansion pack?

765
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:45.320
No, they did, well burn
on them, because that's what the folks

766
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:47.280
that are making the Puzzle Quests expansion
are doing. They're yeah, just saying,

767
00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:53.199
Hey, the story is basically revolving
around Lord Baine's brother and Tharg,

768
00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:58.920
the Lord of the Plague, and
he's gonna come after you for killing his

769
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:01.760
bro and that's to be a little
a little more puzzling action for you if

770
00:49:01.760 --> 00:49:06.679
you're so they give you that those
tidbits of information and not want you to

771
00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:08.920
come up with a name for the
expansion, and you know you're gonna submit

772
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:13.559
this somehow to them for prizes,
for cash and prizes. Yeah, puzzle

773
00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:17.559
hyphen quest dot com you can.
You can go there and submit your your

774
00:49:17.599 --> 00:49:20.519
suggestion. Jeff, do you have
anything off the top of your head.

775
00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:22.880
Plague Lords that's pretty good. I
like it. Lord of the Plague,

776
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:28.920
Yeah, because he's a lord of
the plague. So Plague Lords lords or

777
00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:37.360
onset of the Plague that sounds uncomfortable. Plague Masters, Masters of Terrace Casi

778
00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:39.960
perfect, I love it. Puzzle
Quest yeah, Master to the Ters.

779
00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:43.199
So yeah. So don't. Don't
send it into them, send it into

780
00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:45.719
us. Send it to us,
and then we'll send it in and we'll

781
00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:47.960
pick the best ones from from those
ones, and then and they'll submit them

782
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:52.079
with our names on them and see
if we can win. Yeah. Uh

783
00:49:52.199 --> 00:49:54.760
so that's that's that's pretty awesome,
Jeff. Did you see that they have

784
00:49:55.960 --> 00:50:04.239
in Japan? They have revealed the
for the MGS four PlayStation three steel It

785
00:50:04.360 --> 00:50:07.639
looks kind of like black. Yeah, this just kind of looks like a

786
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:12.039
washed out version of the curt It's
like a more of a flat black.

787
00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:14.920
Yeah, if you were going to
spray it down with cans of cryl on.

788
00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:19.679
Uh, let's see here. And
they also did some some pricing here

789
00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:24.000
in Japan. According to Famitsu,
the regular version of middle Gear Solid four

790
00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:30.719
will retail for eighty eight hundred yen
approximately ninety one dollars US eighty eight hundred.

791
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:32.960
Yeah, that's uh. Japanese game
pricing is kind of funny that way.

792
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:37.639
When they know that people will pay
it, they charge it. They're

793
00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:39.639
not all I was. I was
totally ready for you to say ninety eight

794
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:43.679
hundred yen for that. Oh No, special edition is ninety eight hundred s

795
00:50:44.159 --> 00:50:46.280
and the and the Big Bundle will
go for fifty one thou eight hundred,

796
00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:52.800
approximately five hundred and thirty four dollars, which actually gets not a bad price

797
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:57.599
for a play the game. Yeah, and that's a duel shock. Yeah,

798
00:50:57.599 --> 00:50:59.559
I guess I guess by then that's
gonna be a duel dual shock.

799
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:02.960
Hum, that's not bad, uh, I guess I would have expected maybe

800
00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:07.840
uh, some sort of sweetma book. Yeah, yeah, Camo would have

801
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:15.000
been. Kamo was a big part
of MGS three that era. So that's

802
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:19.079
why, Well they can't make an
active Camo PS three. Why not because

803
00:51:19.159 --> 00:51:22.239
active Camo doesn't work yet? In
that they can't do it. They do

804
00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:27.239
it. But but Jeff, this
is Japan. Even in Japan, dude,

805
00:51:28.079 --> 00:51:31.760
I gotta say, the energy giving
properties of the of this, the

806
00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:36.400
mojo mojo, we're feeling it,
you're drinking both that in the Iron Brew

807
00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:38.519
kind of concurrently, I am,
but I don't think the Iron Brew actually

808
00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:44.840
has anything energizing in its well,
caffeine like that does anything to me anymore.

809
00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:49.320
Whatever receptors in my mind that are
supposed to work when caffeine hits them

810
00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:54.320
have been corroded over oh uh so
so there were some rumors about this last

811
00:51:54.360 --> 00:51:59.800
week and I guess now it's it's
been scuttle butt, uh Internet, but

812
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:02.000
there's some buzz. There was some
buzz, some smoke on the streets,

813
00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:09.880
the internet streets. Yes, uh
that Prey to Pray two oh awesome pre

814
00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:15.360
too. That everyone's favorite, everyone's
second favorite Native American first person shooter series

815
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:22.920
is back. What's our first favorite? Oh sure? Yeah right, ah

816
00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:27.320
right that is yeah, yeah,
sequel to Prey. Maybe it'll take them

817
00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:30.519
like nine years to make this one
too. No, but see Human Heads

818
00:52:30.599 --> 00:52:32.679
doing it from the start, so
they don't they don't have They give people

819
00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:37.239
to know how to ship games right
away. Yeah wait yeah, so uh

820
00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:39.880
we'll see here and and it is
two k involved in that, like no,

821
00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:45.480
right, this this whole Radar,
this new company that Scott Miller started

822
00:52:45.559 --> 00:52:46.880
up, it's like their thing.
Yeah, Radar Group is going to be

823
00:52:46.920 --> 00:52:50.920
the ones making it. In Human
Head, the guys who made the I

824
00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:54.920
guess finished the first Prey are developing, are developing it. You're gonna plays

825
00:52:54.960 --> 00:53:00.440
Tommy again, the Native American warrior
who saved Earth from alien and evasion in

826
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:04.800
Prey, this time abandoned and framed
for the disappearance of his family and girlfriend.

827
00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:08.800
Tommy escapes on Earth that no longer
wants him for a future that cannot

828
00:53:08.840 --> 00:53:17.239
survive without him. Man, that
game takes itself mad serious. Yeah,

829
00:53:17.400 --> 00:53:20.320
and it's goofy. Well, I
don't know. The first one was just

830
00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:24.440
goofy. The first one was pretty
goofy. Uh. It was silly gravity

831
00:53:24.840 --> 00:53:29.280
twists. Like. I don't want
to talk too much crap about Prey because

832
00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:35.079
it's it's not It's not not a
bad game, was not bad. But

833
00:53:37.679 --> 00:53:39.480
I could go the rest of my
life without seeing a sequel to Prey.

834
00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:43.800
And I think right about it again, maybe Human Head getting to, you

835
00:53:43.840 --> 00:53:46.440
know, take a crack at this
from scratch. Maybe they'll do more interesting

836
00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:49.719
stuff with like the portal stuff,
right, and they are. We are

837
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:53.039
living in a post portal world.
Pray did have these portals that would occasionally,

838
00:53:53.480 --> 00:53:55.679
like there was one portal right right
in the beginning of the game that

839
00:53:55.800 --> 00:54:04.159
teleported you inside this tiny uh sphere
that was encased in glass, so it's

840
00:54:04.199 --> 00:54:07.400
like it totally changed your size and
everything and teleported you down into this little

841
00:54:07.480 --> 00:54:10.400
box and then you teleported out of
it, and it was like the coolest

842
00:54:10.440 --> 00:54:14.000
thing in the whole game, and
it happened right off the bat and they

843
00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:16.159
never did anything like that again.
So so yeah, in this regard,

844
00:54:16.280 --> 00:54:21.639
Portal has definitely upped the anti for
these kinds of gameplay mechanics. Yeah.

845
00:54:21.679 --> 00:54:24.119
I think that the Human Head should
just license the source engine and they should

846
00:54:24.159 --> 00:54:30.159
totally give Tommy a Portal gun and
make the Portal like Portal with guns thing

847
00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:34.159
that you know Half Life two episode
three is going to end up being.

848
00:54:35.639 --> 00:54:38.039
Is that your that's your guests for
sure? Did you finish that episode two?

849
00:54:38.199 --> 00:54:43.199
No? Yeah? Well okay,
well don't say anything else, jerk.

850
00:54:43.559 --> 00:54:45.360
I haven't. I haven't gotten to
dude. I didn't even finish the

851
00:54:45.400 --> 00:54:50.199
original damn half Life two, so
I hadn't either until right before Orange Box

852
00:54:50.239 --> 00:54:52.440
came out because I knew I was
going to have to review that and it

853
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:58.000
would do me well to have actually
finished the other might help. Never finished

854
00:54:58.000 --> 00:55:04.519
Half Life one really well, yeah
I can't really, huge fan, I

855
00:55:04.559 --> 00:55:07.679
can't. I can't fault Yeah,
yeah, for I mean, yeah,

856
00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:10.800
basically the end of that game is
a massive bummer. Yeah. I actually

857
00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:14.840
once I I went and I went
and watched it that once I get once

858
00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:16.719
I once I go to Alien Town. I turned on all the cheats just

859
00:55:16.800 --> 00:55:20.119
so I could get through it.
It's like, I don't I don't want

860
00:55:20.119 --> 00:55:22.239
to do I don't care about this
stuff. This isn't this isn't asked having

861
00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:27.159
so much for so much more fun
when I was fighting teams of tactical soldiers

862
00:55:27.239 --> 00:55:30.920
and tactics using tactics. So that's
Prey. I guess, are we still

863
00:55:30.920 --> 00:55:35.639
talking about Pray? I let's know, we're done. We're done talking about

864
00:55:35.679 --> 00:55:40.280
Prey. Let's talk about Guitar Hero
Beatles Edition. Yeah. Where where did

865
00:55:40.320 --> 00:55:44.320
this story come from? This comes
from? On the Beatles side of the

866
00:55:44.559 --> 00:55:51.360
LA Times reported that Sony ATV CEO
Marty Bandler was basically saying that, you

867
00:55:51.400 --> 00:55:54.800
know, they've they've talked about getting
the Beatles into Guitar Hero and something that

868
00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:59.000
they want to pursue, which kind
of makes it sound like the ball is

869
00:55:59.039 --> 00:56:00.960
in activisions in that regard, which
I think at that point you say,

870
00:56:01.159 --> 00:56:06.199
okay, which is crazy to me
because you know, the Beatles and or

871
00:56:06.280 --> 00:56:08.280
you know whoever, the license holders
for that stuff have been very tight with

872
00:56:08.679 --> 00:56:14.320
any sort of online distribution. You
can't buy Beatles songs anything other than I

873
00:56:14.440 --> 00:56:20.280
believe forty fives. You have to
have a record player exactly. I have

874
00:56:20.360 --> 00:56:22.920
a record player, have some sort
of turntable. Yeah, eight track.

875
00:56:23.000 --> 00:56:28.039
I think they made some eight tracks. They may have done a couple great

876
00:56:28.079 --> 00:56:34.960
greatest hit promo only radio stations label. Uh that's end. And as as

877
00:56:35.199 --> 00:56:40.000
much yang as we talked about Guitar
Hero Aerosmith and about how you know,

878
00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:45.840
the single band music game concept is
ridiculous and would never work, I think

879
00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:49.199
this is probably one of the rare
instances where I looked at it and said,

880
00:56:49.199 --> 00:56:52.719
oh, yeah, totally, I
would go and buy this game if

881
00:56:52.760 --> 00:56:58.880
this had you know, songs from
throughout the Beatles catalog, because yeah,

882
00:56:59.400 --> 00:57:04.199
I feel like like they specifically cover
such a range of different like their sound

883
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:07.360
just changes so much from you know, over the course of ten fifteen years.

884
00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:10.599
But at the same time, like
this just makes me think, I

885
00:57:10.960 --> 00:57:15.599
really don't want a Guitar Hero Beatles
game, right, I want a rock

886
00:57:15.679 --> 00:57:22.719
Band Beatles game because there are four
Beatles, and rock Band is a four

887
00:57:22.840 --> 00:57:27.800
player game. Each one could be
one of them. True perfect done ship

888
00:57:27.880 --> 00:57:30.000
it h Yeah, But you know, there was all that, there was

889
00:57:30.119 --> 00:57:34.800
the kind of rumor going around in
light of the Aerosmith thing that that they

890
00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:38.519
would be coming out with other peripherals
to allow that sort of thing for Guitar

891
00:57:38.599 --> 00:57:43.320
Hero, which I think at that
point the name Guitar Hero really doesn't make

892
00:57:43.360 --> 00:57:49.000
any sense. I feel like actively
is going to have to respond to the

893
00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:53.760
multi instrument game that that Harmonics brought
with Rock Guitar Hero is still selling so

894
00:57:53.880 --> 00:57:57.719
well. I don't really think that
they have to respond to anything except for

895
00:57:58.039 --> 00:58:00.519
the like the well they have to
be seeing like all of the money.

896
00:58:00.800 --> 00:58:05.000
Yeah, that's true happening. And
then also yeah, in mind shared people

897
00:58:05.079 --> 00:58:07.039
like you and me are sitting here
saying Rock Band good, Guitar Hero bad,

898
00:58:07.400 --> 00:58:10.719
right, which is not entirely true. I still like Guitar Hero,

899
00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:14.880
and I would totally I would still
play this game, even if I would

900
00:58:14.920 --> 00:58:21.559
prefer a Beatles tracks in Rock Band
instead. Any other bands that you would

901
00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:28.440
play a single, single, single
game from, I mean not I could

902
00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:30.239
go. I could go for a
led Zeppelin game. I know you're not

903
00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:35.519
the sure. I don't always like
to get the lead out. Seven o'clock

904
00:58:35.559 --> 00:58:38.920
on the bone. It's time to
get the lead out, man. Yeah,

905
00:58:39.559 --> 00:58:45.119
you know no, most of the
most of the groups, most of

906
00:58:45.119 --> 00:58:49.800
the artists out there that I have
a deep love of their entire catalog.

907
00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:54.400
I don't think would fit in.
A WEEN might be okay, but only

908
00:58:54.400 --> 00:59:00.679
if it came with like a voice
changer microphone you could built into probably I

909
00:59:00.719 --> 00:59:04.239
guess it is. Yeah, that's
software, so yeah, I don't know.

910
00:59:04.599 --> 00:59:06.559
It should give you extra points if
you can actually sing like that,

911
00:59:06.679 --> 00:59:09.639
though, imagine playing roses are free
guitar hero it'd be good. Yeah,

912
00:59:10.480 --> 00:59:14.599
man, it'd be a good one
because Ween in there. There's there's some

913
00:59:14.639 --> 00:59:15.440
ween in there. Yeah, because
you know, it's like they have the

914
00:59:15.480 --> 00:59:19.800
country they put out their country album. They have all the weird old low

915
00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:22.960
fi crazy stuff. You know,
they have all the weird ridiculous musician ship

916
00:59:23.480 --> 00:59:28.719
later late model stuff all there,
all their weird lengthy all the weird.

917
00:59:29.199 --> 00:59:30.360
No, by the way, we
totally know how to play these instruments,

918
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:34.840
we just weren't playing them very well
before you got this twenty minute version of

919
00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:37.800
this song. Now, but they
should come out with a new microphone controller

920
00:59:37.920 --> 00:59:40.880
that is a gas mask, and
it should come with a can of Scotch

921
00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:45.800
card. Yeah, absolutely good for
kids, good for kids for kids.

922
00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:49.519
Yeah, ween would be a good
one. But I was gonna say like

923
00:59:49.519 --> 00:59:51.800
they might be giants. I think
that, you know, that wouldn't be

924
00:59:51.840 --> 00:59:53.599
bad. I think that they would
fit into some kind of video game.

925
00:59:53.719 --> 01:00:00.800
Well, but so much of their
older stuff is not so guitar driven true

926
01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:05.440
that that I don't know that that
would be a really great fit. And

927
01:00:05.480 --> 01:00:07.440
then the rest of it, like
I I, you know, I think

928
01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:09.480
that someone should make an ice Cube
game. I just don't think it should

929
01:00:09.480 --> 01:00:13.119
be a music game. I think
it'd just be ice Cube two D side

930
01:00:13.119 --> 01:00:16.320
scroller him walking to the right,
busting people's asses. Sure, I'm sure

931
01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:20.000
ice Cube would like that as well. Yeah, I don't care if it's

932
01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:22.079
a flash game or whatever. I
just want ice like ice cubs new album,

933
01:00:22.119 --> 01:00:24.960
his new albums coming out in June, dropping, the time is right

934
01:00:25.800 --> 01:00:30.320
for an ice Cube flash game where
he walks to the right and busts people's

935
01:00:30.440 --> 01:00:35.360
asses. I like it like Shaq
Foo, Like Shaq Foo, but instead

936
01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:43.400
of a basketball damn fists. Uh. And Keith David isn't it a narrator?

937
01:00:45.800 --> 01:00:50.840
He's David should be in everything.
So I think that's that's where the

938
01:00:51.000 --> 01:00:57.079
music game, the music genre needs
to figure out how to do rap Alex

939
01:00:57.159 --> 01:00:59.679
for Goblins of Harmonics, kind of
came out and said, yeah, you

940
01:00:59.679 --> 01:01:04.119
can't really do that in rock bands
so well, because it's the same drum

941
01:01:04.159 --> 01:01:07.440
loop. It's like a sixteen bar
drum loop if you're lucky, but it's

942
01:01:07.480 --> 01:01:09.480
more likely a two or a four
bar loop. Yeah. No one wants

943
01:01:09.519 --> 01:01:13.679
to play that for two and a
half three minutes. Yeah, yeah,

944
01:01:13.679 --> 01:01:15.239
I guess. I guess in that
regard, although and you can't really play

945
01:01:15.239 --> 01:01:19.480
the guitars. I mean you could, but that's just totally contrived of that

946
01:01:19.519 --> 01:01:21.880
place. I guess. The thing
is that I don't have an issue with

947
01:01:22.199 --> 01:01:25.800
using the guitar controller to play instruments
that aren't guitars. Like if there's a

948
01:01:25.880 --> 01:01:30.599
synth line, right, I'd happily
play. I mean like they you know,

949
01:01:30.639 --> 01:01:32.719
they did the freeze pop stuff they
did in the past, but those,

950
01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:37.960
I mean they like freesepop went back
and did more rocky version of those.

951
01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:38.880
Personally, I don't think they needed
to. I don't. Yeah,

952
01:01:38.880 --> 01:01:43.840
I would have glad I preferred the
originals myself too, but I would gladly

953
01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:46.000
pretend that you know, I'm using
a key tar, which frank you know

954
01:01:46.039 --> 01:01:50.440
pretty much I am. Anyways,
it's a shape they need they need a

955
01:01:50.480 --> 01:01:53.000
French house music game. Yes,
totally. There's like there should just be

956
01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:59.000
a daft punk game that is part
music game, part robots with their faces,

957
01:01:59.119 --> 01:02:01.960
with their faking and faces melting off, robots driving across the country in

958
01:02:02.039 --> 01:02:07.000
silence. Yes, dude, that
would be an awesome game like silence.

959
01:02:07.079 --> 01:02:09.800
Yeah, just one synth note for
like an hour and a half for this

960
01:02:09.880 --> 01:02:17.920
whole level, just like that.
Yes, them driving silently and then one

961
01:02:17.960 --> 01:02:21.840
of them kills the other one just
to set him free, and then the

962
01:02:21.920 --> 01:02:27.599
game as fantastic. Someone I want
a Justice game. Someone make these things

963
01:02:27.639 --> 01:02:30.800
happen for us, we decree them
to be so. Or at the very

964
01:02:30.920 --> 01:02:34.320
least, someone make a futuristic racing
game and put all that music in it.

965
01:02:34.320 --> 01:02:37.519
I would settle for that. What
are the Crystal method doing? Where

966
01:02:37.559 --> 01:02:43.920
are they? I think they're in
Las Vegas doing crystal meth jerks. Well,

967
01:02:44.760 --> 01:02:46.840
well can we talk about this.
We'll be down there soon. Uh

968
01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:50.679
yeah, yeah there is Uh yeah, actually that was that was the story

969
01:02:50.679 --> 01:02:54.239
I wanted to talk about. If
you go to nube dot com and oob

970
01:02:54.440 --> 01:02:59.760
dot com, uh, ed boone
or someone someone involved with Mortal Kombat.

971
01:03:00.199 --> 01:03:02.039
Let's just say Ed Boone because it's
probably Ed Boone has been running that site

972
01:03:02.079 --> 01:03:05.719
for years. Yeah, and if
you go there right now, there's a

973
01:03:05.800 --> 01:03:09.480
countdown and are you are you looking
that up Temple? What's left on the

974
01:03:09.559 --> 01:03:13.000
countdown? I wasn't, but I'll
do that anyways. You keep talking.

975
01:03:13.280 --> 01:03:15.239
Oh, yeah, so they have
they have a countdown and there is a

976
01:03:15.360 --> 01:03:17.320
Mortal Kombat logo as part of the
countdown. So people have been thinking,

977
01:03:19.039 --> 01:03:21.199
uh, is this going to be
a countdown to the announcement of the next

978
01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:25.480
Mortal Kombat game. Yes, basically, yes, Midway is having an event

979
01:03:25.519 --> 01:03:30.920
in Vegas that is going to coincide
with the expiration of this countdown. Thirty

980
01:03:30.039 --> 01:03:35.320
days, one hour, fifteen minutes, and six seconds fight No, five

981
01:03:35.400 --> 01:03:37.920
seconds, It just keeps going down, all right. Well but that's roughly

982
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:42.119
where we're at. Yeah, And
so there's a month from now, which

983
01:03:42.199 --> 01:03:44.840
is about when the thing, which
is about when there's a Midway thing out

984
01:03:44.880 --> 01:03:47.599
in Vegas that they're inviting the press
too, and uh, and Giant Bomb

985
01:03:47.639 --> 01:03:52.079
dot Com will be there. We
will be there to provide coverage, yes,

986
01:03:52.320 --> 01:03:54.800
some kind and yeah, I'm looking
forward to this. You're actually yeah,

987
01:03:54.840 --> 01:03:59.119
I'm not so much. But you
are a huge fan of the MK.

988
01:03:59.599 --> 01:04:01.599
Yeah, like I like it Boom, I think more than I like

989
01:04:02.119 --> 01:04:05.800
MK. That guy's awesome. That
guy is solid, so enthusiastic. That

990
01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:09.639
guy is legit. He does not
have any of like the weird game designer

991
01:04:09.679 --> 01:04:13.000
pretentiousness. He's right, He's like, he's like the fighting game designer that

992
01:04:13.079 --> 01:04:15.880
you can believe in because he's the
guy who will tell you yeah, you

993
01:04:15.920 --> 01:04:18.480
know, I think Techen's pretty good. It's like Itagaki where he just comes

994
01:04:18.480 --> 01:04:23.000
out and says, I think teckn
his crap four that's a fighting game.

995
01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:26.199
Yeah, he's not. He's not
all ego. He seems like he's the

996
01:04:26.280 --> 01:04:29.639
dude that was well whatever. He
was making pinball machines before he was doing

997
01:04:29.880 --> 01:04:32.719
yea doing this, so he's he's
got history. Yeah, like and that's

998
01:04:32.800 --> 01:04:35.519
I mean, back back when dudes
were doing this, we're like, you

999
01:04:35.559 --> 01:04:40.400
know, engineers and mechanics. I
have a huge soft spot for Midway.

1000
01:04:40.719 --> 01:04:44.800
I have for for a long time
because that they have this this huge arcade

1001
01:04:44.840 --> 01:04:48.039
history, Like some of the greatest
games ever made have come out from Midway

1002
01:04:48.159 --> 01:04:51.079
or or Williams before they were using
the Midway name. You know, just

1003
01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:55.280
stuff like Defender and Robotron. It
just like this Eugene Jarvis, just all

1004
01:04:55.320 --> 01:05:00.440
this early stuff awesome. You know, Spy Hunter technically a Midway product.

1005
01:05:02.239 --> 01:05:05.039
Joust Joust, Yeah, yeah,
a lot of rules, you know,

1006
01:05:05.159 --> 01:05:10.360
just like all these great arcade classics. And then you know when they shift,

1007
01:05:10.400 --> 01:05:14.679
when everything shifted over to consoles,
and you know, Midway was on

1008
01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:16.079
top of the world. They had
NBA Jam, they had the Mortal Kombat

1009
01:05:16.159 --> 01:05:20.280
games. Then like MKA four came
out, and then consoles started really taking

1010
01:05:20.320 --> 01:05:25.159
away from the arcade business, and
it seemed like it was really the three

1011
01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:29.159
D shift, right like they try
Like there are some some early three D

1012
01:05:29.360 --> 01:05:34.599
Midway arcade games, The Grid,
The Grid It's not so bad. Another

1013
01:05:34.719 --> 01:05:40.400
Ed Boon game actually, but uh
yeah, I don't know. Midway kind

1014
01:05:40.400 --> 01:05:43.199
of lost its way when they when
they got out of the arcade business and

1015
01:05:43.280 --> 01:05:45.400
and it's like they they're always on
the verge of finding it. They have

1016
01:05:45.480 --> 01:05:48.800
always on the verge of getting there. And then it's like, well like

1017
01:05:49.119 --> 01:05:53.559
yeah, strangleholds sold okay, and
I don't really like it so much.

1018
01:05:53.719 --> 01:05:56.920
And they have they have flashes,
and I can understand why you want to

1019
01:05:57.000 --> 01:06:00.519
keep believing in them. I get
that. Yeah, and then I imagine

1020
01:06:00.519 --> 01:06:03.639
that, so I imagine we'll be
seeing more on their TNA wrestling game,

1021
01:06:04.719 --> 01:06:10.320
which I hear is fast, yeah, which is something that I think would

1022
01:06:10.360 --> 01:06:14.360
really benefit a wrestling game right about
now, because all the HQ games are

1023
01:06:14.440 --> 01:06:18.400
just so slow. Well, we'll
we'll have all sorts of fun stuff from

1024
01:06:18.519 --> 01:06:23.800
Vegas next month when they drop all
this at the event. So look forward

1025
01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:27.599
to that. Yeah, let's talk
about new releases. Let's h hot Shots.

1026
01:06:27.639 --> 01:06:30.360
Didn't that come out this week?
Well, let's let's I'm going through

1027
01:06:30.360 --> 01:06:32.800
the list. Give me a second
here. Well, obviously Rainbow six Vegas

1028
01:06:32.840 --> 01:06:36.119
two came out, right, Yeah, that's out. That's that's out.

1029
01:06:36.599 --> 01:06:39.960
Oh, and I guess Condemned two
for the p S three comes out this

1030
01:06:40.079 --> 01:06:43.800
week. Yeah, yeah, they
staggered that a little bit. Uh three

1031
01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:46.239
sixty was last week? PS three
this week? Why who knows. Oh,

1032
01:06:46.440 --> 01:06:50.239
there's the MGS Essential Collection for the
PlayStation two. You're right, hot

1033
01:06:50.280 --> 01:06:54.679
Shots Golf out of Bounds for the
PlayStation three. Sweet more more hot shots

1034
01:06:54.719 --> 01:06:56.880
for you? Yeah? Should you
get that? Yeah? We should?

1035
01:06:57.519 --> 01:07:00.599
Uh? You like yourself some video
game golf. I like video game golf.

1036
01:07:00.639 --> 01:07:02.440
I have not been hot on the
hot Shots for a while because I

1037
01:07:02.519 --> 01:07:05.039
felt like the last few games they
kind of were just treading water a little

1038
01:07:05.079 --> 01:07:08.039
too much, don't I don't know
that you'll be into this one then,

1039
01:07:08.039 --> 01:07:11.000
because I played the demo that came
out like eight months ago, and it

1040
01:07:11.039 --> 01:07:13.199
seemed like it was kind of the
same thing. But that was just demo.

1041
01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:15.280
Maybe it's great. Well, I
from what I've seen of it,

1042
01:07:15.360 --> 01:07:20.119
it seems like they are kind of
embracing the multiple shot styles. Okay,

1043
01:07:20.280 --> 01:07:24.400
so it's not all just three button
click stuff, right, Yeah, you

1044
01:07:24.480 --> 01:07:27.599
can do yeah, which I guess. Yeah, basically the tire Woods games

1045
01:07:27.679 --> 01:07:30.639
kind of spoiled me on, you
know, having more nuance in the action.

1046
01:07:31.519 --> 01:07:34.320
Uh you know, not that the
three button style is bad, it's

1047
01:07:34.320 --> 01:07:39.000
just kind of got tired of it. Yeah. Uh so, so that's

1048
01:07:39.079 --> 01:07:43.599
out. What else we said,
Rainbow six Vegas two already h oh and

1049
01:07:43.639 --> 01:07:47.639
we should get this too. Sega's
Superstars Tennis right hit for a variety of

1050
01:07:47.880 --> 01:07:51.679
like every damn console. Uh So, that's so I can go play tennis

1051
01:07:51.679 --> 01:07:59.639
as sambade amigo yes or Amigo Amigo
amigo, not as the dance and LaaS

1052
01:07:59.679 --> 01:08:01.920

1053
01:08:02.320 --> 01:08:06.880
nights nights dude? Is his name
just nights? I don't know. All

1054
01:08:06.960 --> 01:08:14.000
right, fantastic, pretty good,
pretty Can you play as a car from

1055
01:08:14.079 --> 01:08:17.079
Daytona? God? I hope.
So they need to do a sequel to

1056
01:08:17.119 --> 01:08:20.279
Fighters. Mega Mix is what they
need to do. Just take the VF

1057
01:08:20.359 --> 01:08:25.439
five engine and fill it full of
crazy again. That's that's But those are

1058
01:08:25.720 --> 01:08:30.439
this week's major releases, it seems
that's. Yeah, a few good stuff.

1059
01:08:30.800 --> 01:08:32.199
Yeah, let's let's track down some
hotshots. Let's track down some some

1060
01:08:32.520 --> 01:08:36.560
saga sure, yeah, some Sega
tennis. I'm interested in those. Yeah,

1061
01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:39.960
you're a golf and tennis kind of
guy, I am. I'm not

1062
01:08:40.039 --> 01:08:43.199
a big sports game fan, but
I like the odd sports. Like if

1063
01:08:43.239 --> 01:08:46.319
the volleyball game comes out, I'm
all over that. H yes, please

1064
01:08:46.399 --> 01:08:51.520
Little super Spike, Yeah, absolutely, well v ball. Uh let's uh.

1065
01:08:51.680 --> 01:08:55.399
So that's that's it for new releases. For this week, we cover

1066
01:08:55.520 --> 01:08:57.479
topics. Do you want to jump
into emails? Yeah, let's take some

1067
01:08:57.600 --> 01:08:59.960
questions. Let's take some questions for
the folks at home. Folks at home

1068
01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:03.640
home, if you want to write
in and have your question read on the

1069
01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:11.239
podcast. Uh, just right into
bomb cast at giant bomb dot com.

1070
01:09:11.760 --> 01:09:17.439
That's right, BombCast at GiantBomb dot
com. Any comcast any comments or questions

1071
01:09:17.560 --> 01:09:21.640
or anything of that regard uh sitting
in there and uh yeah, and we'll

1072
01:09:23.159 --> 01:09:24.760
read it and go now, I'm
not gonna read that on the air,

1073
01:09:24.840 --> 01:09:27.960
that's crazy, and then delete it. So people are out their minds,

1074
01:09:29.039 --> 01:09:31.520
all right. Our first question comes
in from Quentin and we hawk in New

1075
01:09:31.640 --> 01:09:36.039
Jersey, and he wants to know
he's been hearing probably the same buzzy rumors

1076
01:09:36.119 --> 01:09:44.159
that you and I have about about
how now that the the HDDVD is dead

1077
01:09:44.199 --> 01:09:48.159
and gone that you know is Microsoft, you're gonna start talking to Sony about

1078
01:09:48.199 --> 01:09:54.800
getting a Blu ray drive attachment for
the three sixty Would they ever ship you

1079
01:09:54.840 --> 01:09:57.279
know, is their next system,
would they have a Blu ray player in

1080
01:09:57.399 --> 01:10:00.079
it? It's a I mean,
it's it's an I guess it's a an

1081
01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:02.880
evocative question because it kind of,
you know, makes that weird crossing of

1082
01:10:02.960 --> 01:10:08.279
the line for this whole console.
Sony just being a bunch of different businesses

1083
01:10:08.760 --> 01:10:12.119
having a bunch of different parts to
it, and Microsoft being the same way.

1084
01:10:12.399 --> 01:10:15.960
Well, I think this is partially
fueled by Sony kind of come out

1085
01:10:15.960 --> 01:10:19.479
and saying, we've been talking to
Microsoft about Blu Ray possibilities. But they've

1086
01:10:19.479 --> 01:10:24.600
been talking to Microsoft, not necessarily
to the Xbox division, right, And

1087
01:10:24.640 --> 01:10:27.319
there's a lot of parts of Sony
that could be talking to a lot of

1088
01:10:27.399 --> 01:10:31.439
parts of Microsoft. Right. So
Aaron Greenberg, who works specifically on Xbox,

1089
01:10:31.560 --> 01:10:34.079
kind of came out and said,
no, we haven't talked to anybody

1090
01:10:34.119 --> 01:10:36.439
at Sony about a Blu Ray drive
for the three sixty. I don't know,

1091
01:10:36.600 --> 01:10:41.640
you guys crazy In my opinion is
that that they shouldn't. Then that

1092
01:10:41.680 --> 01:10:44.279
it would be ridiculous for them to
do this. Oh, I think they

1093
01:10:44.279 --> 01:10:49.359
should totally do it. All Microsoft
has been doing with Xbox Marketplace these days

1094
01:10:49.520 --> 01:10:54.720
is pushing you know, HD movie
downloads. Yeah, and they make mad

1095
01:10:54.840 --> 01:10:59.479
money off of that stuff. They
don't, I mean, they're I get

1096
01:10:59.520 --> 01:11:01.920
to feel like, in general,
the whole Microsoft business is all about getting

1097
01:11:02.000 --> 01:11:05.560
away from disc based media. I
mean, with Xbox, librakide downloadable stuff,

1098
01:11:05.800 --> 01:11:10.880
with downloading TV shows, renting movies. I would be surprised if the

1099
01:11:10.960 --> 01:11:15.479
next Microsoft console has anything more than
a DVD drive. I don't know,

1100
01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:19.159
dude, I think I personally and
I think Microsoft feels the same way I

1101
01:11:19.239 --> 01:11:26.640
think discs are played, putting discs
into stuff to use content. I see

1102
01:11:26.680 --> 01:11:30.720
where you're coming from, because I've
you know, I'm a big fan of

1103
01:11:30.760 --> 01:11:33.079
stuff like Steam. Yeah, I
think Xbox Live, Arcade and PlayStation Network

1104
01:11:33.119 --> 01:11:39.680
are awesome. But at the same
time, those Blu Ray discs look pretty

1105
01:11:39.760 --> 01:11:43.439
good. And now that it's the
dominating format, I mean, there are

1106
01:11:43.479 --> 01:11:47.319
going to be people that just aren't
set up to take advantage of online downloads,

1107
01:11:48.079 --> 01:11:50.720
and for those people, there's always
going to be a need for disc

1108
01:11:50.800 --> 01:11:57.560
based distribution. But what you know, how does that ever benefit Microsoft?

1109
01:11:58.159 --> 01:12:01.840
It eats into their notable movie rental
business. They have to pay Sony a

1110
01:12:01.920 --> 01:12:06.359
buttload of money to license the Blue
Ray, they have to manufacture the Blu

1111
01:12:06.479 --> 01:12:09.920
Ray player, they have to do
all this r and D to get it

1112
01:12:10.000 --> 01:12:14.920
to play nice with the you know, the existing Xbox software. Uh,

1113
01:12:15.039 --> 01:12:19.560
you know, and they I imagine
they probably already got burnt doing for the

1114
01:12:19.640 --> 01:12:24.520
av D already, although I also
have to imagine that that Toshi but probably

1115
01:12:24.560 --> 01:12:28.760
subsidized a good portion of that stuff. Anyways, But yeah, you know,

1116
01:12:28.840 --> 01:12:31.319
Sony has no desire to do that. Frankly, because you know there

1117
01:12:31.640 --> 01:12:34.520
would go buy a PlayStation. Yeah, just go by to NPS three,

1118
01:12:34.560 --> 01:12:40.159
sir. But there are different divisions
of Sony, and while SCA and or

1119
01:12:40.359 --> 01:12:43.960
Sony Computer Entertainment would much rather you
go buy a PlayStation three, the Blu

1120
01:12:44.119 --> 01:12:46.079
Ray division wants as many Blu Ray
players out there as possible, and I

1121
01:12:46.159 --> 01:12:50.680
imagine they will cut deals with whoever
whenever just to get that installed base up

1122
01:12:50.760 --> 01:12:56.159
so that the movies start selling more
and they start picking up all the licensing

1123
01:12:56.239 --> 01:13:00.399
fee from the movies. So there's
definitely a benefit to Sony to making all

1124
01:13:00.439 --> 01:13:02.560
that stuff happen, and it might
be enough for them to make it worth

1125
01:13:02.640 --> 01:13:08.319
Microsoft's while. But I agree with
you that Microsoft's position is definitely moving more

1126
01:13:08.359 --> 01:13:11.720
and more online, and I think
that they've done really well with that stuff.

1127
01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:15.479
Yeah, but I have other than
one time when I accidentally rented Norbit

1128
01:13:17.159 --> 01:13:27.119
was a d D no less and
bought five God anyway, other than one

1129
01:13:27.159 --> 01:13:30.880
time when I screwed up and accidentally
rented Norbit, which I didn't actually watch.

1130
01:13:30.319 --> 01:13:32.039
You watch some of it. I
watched some of it, went oh

1131
01:13:32.159 --> 01:13:39.159
man, this is God. Damn
Eddie Murphy. Wait, yeah, I

1132
01:13:39.279 --> 01:13:45.760
have not purchased anything from the video
marketplace, and I would much rather get

1133
01:13:45.960 --> 01:13:49.600
a disc than than a rental.
I like, I don't even rent movies.

1134
01:13:49.600 --> 01:13:53.039
I don't have a Netflix account.
Yeah, I don't believe in it.

1135
01:13:53.560 --> 01:13:57.439
Uh. It's something where like something
that Greg Kazavin and I would always

1136
01:13:58.000 --> 01:14:00.760
be totally firm on, is this
concept of just like you want, you

1137
01:14:00.800 --> 01:14:02.520
want to watch something, got and
buy it. Forget this rental crap.

1138
01:14:02.920 --> 01:14:06.279
It's like you want something, just
go get it and and and just have

1139
01:14:06.479 --> 01:14:11.239
this movie, this ridiculous movie collection
like that then, and that's and which

1140
01:14:11.279 --> 01:14:13.680
is why you have a whole bunch
of movies you've never watched, right,

1141
01:14:13.840 --> 01:14:17.680
That's the other awesome thing is that
I've purchased and thousands of dollars one hundreds

1142
01:14:17.800 --> 01:14:24.920
if thousand, hundreds of thoo hundreds
if thousands on stupid movies that you never

1143
01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:27.800
watch. So I think in that
in this regard, you are approving exactly

1144
01:14:27.880 --> 01:14:31.600
why the downloadable rental thing is the
right way to go. Oh yeah,

1145
01:14:31.880 --> 01:14:35.439
it's way smarter. But that doesn't
mean I'm gonna do it, sure,

1146
01:14:36.119 --> 01:14:39.119
I mean I get your perspective.
Yeah, a lot of people prefer to

1147
01:14:39.159 --> 01:14:41.600
own that there's plenty of movies that
I would like to own a copy of,

1148
01:14:41.720 --> 01:14:43.560
But there's plenty of that's like,
all right, I can watch that

1149
01:14:43.640 --> 01:14:45.640
once and then never see it again. I don't need that taking up shelf

1150
01:14:45.720 --> 01:14:49.520
space. Yeah, so well,
see, eventually I'll come around and that

1151
01:14:49.520 --> 01:14:53.600
stuff will probably make more sense.
But for now, I'm I'm pretty psyched

1152
01:14:53.640 --> 01:14:56.560
to buy some more Blu ray discs. I mean, if you could buy

1153
01:14:56.640 --> 01:15:00.760
these HD movies for download, would
you no? Because they would take up

1154
01:15:00.800 --> 01:15:04.960
space on something forever. To me, hard drive space is more valuable in

1155
01:15:05.039 --> 01:15:10.159
shelf space. Being a homeowner and
having a lot of room in a garage

1156
01:15:10.159 --> 01:15:12.119
and all that kind of crap.
Yeah. See, I'm living an apartment.

1157
01:15:12.239 --> 01:15:15.760
So if I can get rid of
all those damned shelves full of discs

1158
01:15:15.800 --> 01:15:17.479
and whatnot that I have, yeah, i'd be I'd be happy. Like

1159
01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:20.239
I did that with CDs a while
back, like ripped all my CDs and

1160
01:15:20.359 --> 01:15:24.560
trashed them. Yeah, and by
trash I mean sold them to a CD

1161
01:15:24.640 --> 01:15:30.199
east or compact disc retailer, A
compact disc retailer and rebuyer. Yes.

1162
01:15:30.039 --> 01:15:33.840
So I eventually made the jump with
music to where I don't feel bad about

1163
01:15:33.840 --> 01:15:38.359
buying stuff off of iTunes, though
at the same time, I would rather

1164
01:15:38.399 --> 01:15:41.119
buy it off like Amazon because as
those just straight up m P three's I

1165
01:15:41.439 --> 01:15:44.359
get doing this. Yeah, I've
started. I've started going to Amazon because

1166
01:15:44.359 --> 01:15:46.880
all their stuff is is deer and
free and cheaper, yeah and cheaper.

1167
01:15:48.039 --> 01:15:50.439
The yeah, the way that stuff
is working, and it's got a nice

1168
01:15:50.920 --> 01:15:56.159
on OS ten. It has a
nice download client and everything, so it's

1169
01:15:56.159 --> 01:16:00.600
it's a pretty clean interface and then
it it'll actually automatically import into iTunes.

1170
01:16:00.680 --> 01:16:02.600
It knows how to do all that
stuff, so it's like an extra step

1171
01:16:02.720 --> 01:16:05.520
beyond what you do through the iTunes
store. But getting it, you know,

1172
01:16:05.760 --> 01:16:10.359
completely DRM free all the time is
pretty sweet. But at the same

1173
01:16:10.359 --> 01:16:12.479
time, I think I would still
rather buy the CD so that I can

1174
01:16:12.520 --> 01:16:15.880
have control over it. Uh what, how I rip it? How it

1175
01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:19.960
goes? I am an impatient cat, and that's and that's the thing that

1176
01:16:20.199 --> 01:16:23.159
always gets me is it's like,
oh, I want to get the CD.

1177
01:16:23.800 --> 01:16:25.840
I'm not gonna wait to order it
from Amazon or I'm not gonna go

1178
01:16:25.840 --> 01:16:28.840
to buy to a store. If
I can just click over here on my

1179
01:16:28.880 --> 01:16:30.399
computer that I'm already sitting in front
of and hit go, Yeah, I

1180
01:16:30.479 --> 01:16:33.479
mean, I think that what they
need to do is start figuring out solutions

1181
01:16:33.560 --> 01:16:39.199
where I can go to a site
like Amazon or something and say, I

1182
01:16:39.319 --> 01:16:43.920
want this album. I want it
on CD, and but I want also

1183
01:16:43.960 --> 01:16:46.119
want it now, and maybe they
charge me like two bucks extra or something

1184
01:16:46.199 --> 01:16:48.520
like that so I can download all
the m P three's and then they send

1185
01:16:48.560 --> 01:16:53.479
the disc normally like I would.
That seems like it'ld be awesome, like

1186
01:16:53.520 --> 01:16:57.039
the money, the extra money would
cover the bandwidth because okay, so perfect

1187
01:16:57.039 --> 01:17:00.600
example, I ordered the Goldie Looking
Chain album on Amazon on UK. It's

1188
01:17:00.640 --> 01:17:03.800
not coming out in the US.
It probably never will because it's the GLC

1189
01:17:04.359 --> 01:17:09.199
and weird, like two of the
seven people that live on this continent know

1190
01:17:10.159 --> 01:17:15.479
what that means, and uh,
yeah, it's you know, I didn't

1191
01:17:15.479 --> 01:17:19.680
want to pay like nine pounds for
shipping, so I got the slow shipping

1192
01:17:19.720 --> 01:17:23.039
and now it's gonna take me over
a week to get this damn CD.

1193
01:17:24.239 --> 01:17:28.640
Whereas if it was made available online
somehow, right, you could have it

1194
01:17:28.680 --> 01:17:30.119
immediately. Yeah again, and then
part of me wants to like go look

1195
01:17:30.119 --> 01:17:33.000
at torrent sites and see if I
can find it, because I would feel

1196
01:17:33.039 --> 01:17:36.319
totally justified and downloading it because I
already paid for it, paid money for

1197
01:17:36.399 --> 01:17:40.600
this, I own a copy.
It's like I legally own this, just

1198
01:17:40.920 --> 01:17:43.840
I just want to hear it now. So that's super frustrating. But then

1199
01:17:43.840 --> 01:17:45.800
again, like they're like self releasing
this album because they got dropped from their

1200
01:17:45.840 --> 01:17:47.880
label or anything like that. So
it's like, I don't even think that

1201
01:17:47.880 --> 01:17:53.479
they're gonna make it into the iTunes
UK store with this thing which you couldn't

1202
01:17:53.479 --> 01:17:56.079
even use, which I couldn't even
use even if they did, So it's

1203
01:17:56.079 --> 01:17:59.600
just I don't know. It's just
I just I think discs are played.

1204
01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:02.119
I think I think physical media is
totally play it out. That's that's kind

1205
01:18:02.159 --> 01:18:05.279
of my overall perspective on this,
and that's that's where I'm coming from on

1206
01:18:05.560 --> 01:18:11.199
all of these fronts. Is I
am happy paying for what is basically information.

1207
01:18:11.640 --> 01:18:15.359
I do not have to pay for
the physical thing that the information is

1208
01:18:15.399 --> 01:18:17.199
coming on. I don't really care
about that anymore. Yeah, I don't.

1209
01:18:17.199 --> 01:18:19.840
I don't look at CDs while I
listened to stuff. I'm you know,

1210
01:18:19.880 --> 01:18:23.439
I'm driving in my car, I've
got my iPod plugged in. I

1211
01:18:23.479 --> 01:18:25.399
mean, yeah, the first thing
I do with the CD is rip it

1212
01:18:25.840 --> 01:18:28.800
and then throw the CD somewhere and
never see it again. Yeah. So,

1213
01:18:29.600 --> 01:18:30.840
but it's just nice knowing that I
have that in case there's a hard

1214
01:18:30.920 --> 01:18:34.079
drive crash, case is something else
we're going on, Sure, I just

1215
01:18:34.199 --> 01:18:39.319
back up everything. I just have
it on a second local show. I

1216
01:18:39.439 --> 01:18:42.159
know. Crazy. Well, we
spend way too much time to talk about

1217
01:18:42.159 --> 01:18:45.399
that. Let's get on to our
next question from Guillermo in Tijuana, Mexico.

1218
01:18:46.600 --> 01:18:51.800
That's how Mahicans say Mexico, last
of the Mahicans. Yep. Uh.

1219
01:18:53.079 --> 01:18:58.439
He wants to know about HDMI cables
that we use for our our TVs.

1220
01:18:58.479 --> 01:19:01.439
Here are actually he asked about for
his TV specifically, and wants to

1221
01:19:01.520 --> 01:19:06.279
know about if we have any HDMI
brands or anything. Yeah. Just go

1222
01:19:06.439 --> 01:19:10.840
with the monster name, dude.
It's like nine thousand dollars but totally worth

1223
01:19:10.880 --> 01:19:14.359
it. Uh. Yeah, Let's
let's tell this little story when we went

1224
01:19:14.520 --> 01:19:16.680
and bought kind of our first wave
of gear for this office. Yea,

1225
01:19:16.760 --> 01:19:21.039
we were. We were at a
big box retailer. I don't know if

1226
01:19:21.079 --> 01:19:24.039
we can say the name of it. Oh, you're the best buy.

1227
01:19:25.520 --> 01:19:30.399
Yeah. Uh, we were there
and we were buying TV sets and or

1228
01:19:30.479 --> 01:19:31.079
no, we were buying consoles and
stuff, and we said, oh,

1229
01:19:31.079 --> 01:19:34.600
we're gonna need some Hdmi cables for
these bad boys. Let's see what they

1230
01:19:34.640 --> 01:19:40.159
have in stock here, and everything
was insanely price. Even the regular store

1231
01:19:40.199 --> 01:19:44.039
brand was still like sixty bucks for
likeink. Forty dollars was the cheapest for

1232
01:19:44.119 --> 01:19:46.239
like a six foot Hdmi cable that
we saw in that store. And the

1233
01:19:46.319 --> 01:19:50.479
ones they put near the game consoles
are are always the most expensive ones.

1234
01:19:50.560 --> 01:19:54.720
Yeah, they're the worst ones as
far as as far as the value of

1235
01:19:54.760 --> 01:19:58.359
your price. I will I will
tell people where I've been getting mine.

1236
01:19:58.439 --> 01:20:01.159
I guess I feel like kind of
plugging these guys. Monoprice dot com.

1237
01:20:02.119 --> 01:20:06.359
You can get Hdmi cables there for
like like a six foot Acmi cable for

1238
01:20:06.479 --> 01:20:12.600
like four bucks. Guess what they
work awesome. Like I've seen online people

1239
01:20:12.640 --> 01:20:17.920
doing crazy like wave length comparisons for
like the purity of signal over various lengths,

1240
01:20:18.039 --> 01:20:23.039
and you know, these things compared
totally toe to toe with the most

1241
01:20:23.279 --> 01:20:27.840
high end Monster brand stuff that's out
there. Yeah, So so don't be

1242
01:20:28.159 --> 01:20:31.920
don't let yourself get played by by
retailers that are charging ridiculous prices for HDMI

1243
01:20:32.039 --> 01:20:36.520
cables because they somehow think that they
can. Yeah. I I totally pay

1244
01:20:36.600 --> 01:20:43.720
like seventy dollars for like a five
foot or four foot HDMI cable last year

1245
01:20:43.920 --> 01:20:46.840
because I needed one right that minute, and I knew I was getting bent

1246
01:20:46.960 --> 01:20:51.079
over in the process, but I
needed it that bad. And it's just

1247
01:20:51.199 --> 01:20:55.359
it's just, you know, cables, they they're always like for since the

1248
01:20:55.359 --> 01:20:58.800
beginning of time. Cables has been
one of those things that that they screw

1249
01:20:58.960 --> 01:21:00.640
on because they can, because they
can try and tell you all, these

1250
01:21:00.680 --> 01:21:04.600
are the premium ones, gold tips, dude. The ones we have are

1251
01:21:04.640 --> 01:21:10.920
gold tipped ferrite cores. They have
all the same premiums, the same premium

1252
01:21:11.000 --> 01:21:15.960
features that monster also and also you
know, not to not to overplug this

1253
01:21:15.079 --> 01:21:17.199
site. But they let you choose
what color you want the cables to be.

1254
01:21:17.319 --> 01:21:18.960
Yeah, they have a variet of
colors. I have blue ones,

1255
01:21:19.199 --> 01:21:21.840
have orange ones, has orange ones. They're going to be offering purple ones

1256
01:21:21.880 --> 01:21:25.640
in the our future. Man,
you get we should have waited. You

1257
01:21:25.720 --> 01:21:30.640
get discounts for buying like more than
two, like, they have various So

1258
01:21:30.800 --> 01:21:33.000
yeah, I I honestly my experience
with them have been great. They're good

1259
01:21:33.159 --> 01:21:36.159
fast shipping. Monoprice dot Com.
If you are in the market for ACMI

1260
01:21:36.279 --> 01:21:40.359
or really any cable they have like
crazy all sorts of other ridiculous actually need

1261
01:21:40.399 --> 01:21:44.279
a bunch of weird, really weird
cables they would probably have if you need

1262
01:21:44.399 --> 01:21:49.960
like like twenty foot parallel port cables
or Suli Matrix printer. In the other

1263
01:21:50.039 --> 01:21:56.359
room, monoprice, I get it
jacked in man LPT two son hit the

1264
01:21:56.479 --> 01:22:00.239
dip switches words. So that's answer
your question. So the other the other

1265
01:22:00.279 --> 01:22:04.319
awesome thing about our equipment run is
we went and bought Xbox three sixty arcades.

1266
01:22:04.479 --> 01:22:09.119
Oh yeah, talk about that because
we have hard drives and all other

1267
01:22:09.119 --> 01:22:11.279
stuff. Like I bring in my
hard drive every day because it has my

1268
01:22:11.319 --> 01:22:14.079
account, my saves on it.
We don't need we don't need pros,

1269
01:22:14.159 --> 01:22:18.319
we don't need elites over here because
which actually I actually I'm kind of into

1270
01:22:18.359 --> 01:22:20.319
the arcade pack. It's like when
we broke it open, it's like,

1271
01:22:20.359 --> 01:22:23.960
hey, this isn't what you get
for the price is pretty good. You

1272
01:22:23.960 --> 01:22:26.600
get the two hundred fifty six mag
card. You don't get the hard drive,

1273
01:22:26.640 --> 01:22:29.840
which is obviously the big yeah yeah
point, but it has the HDMI

1274
01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:31.239
port on it, like you know, all of them do at this point,

1275
01:22:31.520 --> 01:22:34.159
right, all the currently manufactured ones
do. U. It has a

1276
01:22:34.199 --> 01:22:39.279
wireless controller. Uh you know.
The the other bummer is that only comes

1277
01:22:39.319 --> 01:22:42.319
with composite cables yea, not even
components. So if you want to do

1278
01:22:42.319 --> 01:22:45.560
any HD you're gonna have to pony
up for something. But yeah, for

1279
01:22:45.760 --> 01:22:47.079
for our needs in here, I
thought it was pretty Yeah, it was.

1280
01:22:47.239 --> 01:22:49.319
It was perfect. And they also
get that disc that has the five

1281
01:22:49.399 --> 01:22:53.359
Xbox Labarcade games on it, So
that's a little Astro Bonus Championship Edition.

1282
01:22:53.439 --> 01:22:56.039
Yeah, one of one of the
best Xbox Labarcade games out there. Yeah.

1283
01:22:56.319 --> 01:23:00.159
So Ryan opened his up and hooked
his up a lot sooner than I

1284
01:23:00.199 --> 01:23:01.279
hooked up, mind, Yeah,
like within a couple of days. But

1285
01:23:01.640 --> 01:23:05.119
at some point last week I finally
busted mine open and started hooking it up.

1286
01:23:05.760 --> 01:23:10.119
And when I got to the bottom
of the box, yeah, empty,

1287
01:23:10.840 --> 01:23:14.640
no power supply. But you need
that for plight to make it go.

1288
01:23:14.840 --> 01:23:17.000
That you need that is not that
is not something I I thought for

1289
01:23:17.079 --> 01:23:19.680
a second, like, do these
are these so stripped down? Did they

1290
01:23:19.720 --> 01:23:24.359
don't even come with power? What
the hell is going on? Yeah?

1291
01:23:25.119 --> 01:23:30.239
Yeah, someone had busted open that
box or or something and jacked that.

1292
01:23:30.399 --> 01:23:32.279
And then you said you realize afterwards
that like it didn't have the bag on

1293
01:23:32.399 --> 01:23:34.680
the console, and like all the
paperwork was on top of it. So

1294
01:23:34.800 --> 01:23:38.960
yeah, like it had obviously been
opened. Someone that obviously rooted through there

1295
01:23:39.000 --> 01:23:41.119
and jacked it out. I don't
know if they I don't know if they

1296
01:23:41.159 --> 01:23:44.319
were so brazen as to just take
it and do that on the floor at

1297
01:23:44.359 --> 01:23:47.039
the store, or if they bought
it, jacked it, returned it.

1298
01:23:47.239 --> 01:23:49.760
Well, the best Buy people were
all claiming, well, we never sell

1299
01:23:49.880 --> 01:23:53.439
stuff that's been opened for consoles.
It's like, yeah, well, guess

1300
01:23:53.479 --> 01:23:56.640
what, check this out. And
I remember thinking back when we first bought

1301
01:23:56.640 --> 01:23:58.720
it, because we were buying such
a volume of stuff, it was easy

1302
01:23:58.800 --> 01:24:01.079
for something like that to slip through. Yeah. I thought, oh that

1303
01:24:01.319 --> 01:24:05.039
the little label, little sticker that
they used to steal the box shut looked

1304
01:24:05.079 --> 01:24:08.520
a little bit loose. I was
thinking maybe there was something, But then

1305
01:24:08.520 --> 01:24:11.479
I also thought maybe the dude had
opened it up to look at the cereal

1306
01:24:11.520 --> 01:24:13.720
or something because he couldn't see it
through a little stupid window. Yeah.

1307
01:24:13.840 --> 01:24:15.760
Yeah, but either way, we
had to go back because of that awesome

1308
01:24:15.760 --> 01:24:20.840
and that's always the worst possible situation
for returning something of like, hey,

1309
01:24:21.039 --> 01:24:24.880
this thing that I took out of
your store, it's not that's supposed to

1310
01:24:24.920 --> 01:24:27.800
be in here, isn't in here, because they immediately think, dude,

1311
01:24:27.840 --> 01:24:31.520
you just jacked it. You totally
stole that disc Like I've bought movies and

1312
01:24:31.600 --> 01:24:35.560
games and popped open the case and
had there be nothing in there. Yeah,

1313
01:24:35.600 --> 01:24:39.119
and it's the most depressing thing in
the world because you're fighting such an

1314
01:24:39.199 --> 01:24:42.840
uphill battle. Yeah, And but
I was also ready to throw down.

1315
01:24:42.920 --> 01:24:45.600
I was, Yeah, I mean
we did have that receipt that had you

1316
01:24:45.680 --> 01:24:48.079
know, like two grand worth of
weird equipment on it. Yeah, So

1317
01:24:49.319 --> 01:24:51.399
it's it's a lot easier at that
point. And say, look, dude,

1318
01:24:51.560 --> 01:24:55.039
do I really look like I'm trying
to conju with this, Like,

1319
01:24:55.199 --> 01:24:57.600
with this much money we just spend
in here, are we really looking to

1320
01:24:57.680 --> 01:25:00.399
jack you for this twenty dollars table? Yeah, no, we're not.

1321
01:25:00.560 --> 01:25:04.039
And they eventually, they once they
figured out that they stared at the serial

1322
01:25:04.119 --> 01:25:09.159
numbers for I think it took like
eighteen different customer service people say wait a

1323
01:25:09.159 --> 01:25:11.640
minute, serial numbers a match.
That's because there's two on there. That

1324
01:25:11.760 --> 01:25:14.720
was confusing the hell out of them
they couldn't deal with. We bought two

1325
01:25:15.000 --> 01:25:20.600
xboxes xboxing. Uh, let's see
here. Next question comes from Trey Pierce

1326
01:25:20.680 --> 01:25:26.399
in Plano, Texas. Trey Trey
has the question that has been burning in

1327
01:25:26.439 --> 01:25:31.359
the minds of men like Jeff and
I. He wants to know about deleting

1328
01:25:31.439 --> 01:25:36.439
achievements for Xbox three sixty games,
games where he has either no or very

1329
01:25:36.520 --> 01:25:41.119
few achievements. His issue is that
he has six thousand, four hundred and

1330
01:25:41.159 --> 01:25:45.279
twenty five out of eighteen thousand,
four hundred and fifty five possible points.

1331
01:25:45.079 --> 01:25:48.720
And I know where he's coming from
on this completion percentage. Completion percentage,

1332
01:25:48.760 --> 01:25:53.399
it for me is the number to
really that really matters, far more so

1333
01:25:53.640 --> 01:25:59.319
than you know overall score. At
this point, I don't care. You

1334
01:25:59.399 --> 01:26:01.479
know you don't care. I think
I think my maximum total right now is

1335
01:26:01.600 --> 01:26:04.399
is over two hundred thousand. Like
if I went and played all the games

1336
01:26:04.439 --> 01:26:08.880
I've played so far, I could
have Damn I could have two hundred thousand.

1337
01:26:08.920 --> 01:26:12.439
Mine is I'm at about forty five
percent completion rate. Yeah, so

1338
01:26:12.560 --> 01:26:15.279
mins like one hundred plus. I'm
at like twenties, So I don't know.

1339
01:26:15.359 --> 01:26:20.159
Anyway, Uh, this was something
that was speculated during previous dashboard up.

1340
01:26:20.319 --> 01:26:24.720
Yeah, the last dashboard update actually
at least made it so that when

1341
01:26:24.760 --> 01:26:29.199
you're playing demo versions of Xbox Live
Arcade games, those no longer show up,

1342
01:26:29.439 --> 01:26:31.159
those no longer get added to your
profile. Yeah, so they took

1343
01:26:31.239 --> 01:26:36.000
that step. But the other thing
is they they said at the time that

1344
01:26:36.199 --> 01:26:41.920
you would be able to erase games
from your profile to you. Yes,

1345
01:26:42.079 --> 01:26:44.800
to me directly, I opposed the
question, said do you said, you

1346
01:26:44.880 --> 01:26:46.439
said, hey, Xbox, we
need to be able to take this stuff

1347
01:26:46.479 --> 01:26:49.039
off man. Xbox said, oh
yeah. I said, oh, yeah,

1348
01:26:49.039 --> 01:26:55.039
that'll be in there. But that
was a miscommunication and it did not

1349
01:26:55.199 --> 01:26:58.479
make it into the update. I
wouldn't be surprised if this is something that

1350
01:26:58.520 --> 01:27:03.359
they eventually did add, at least
the ability to remove your zero point games.

1351
01:27:03.600 --> 01:27:05.880
I don't know that they would.
I think that that's where they could

1352
01:27:05.920 --> 01:27:11.199
draw the line and reasonable. Yeah, if you've earned achievements in that game,

1353
01:27:11.279 --> 01:27:15.079
then no, because I imagine a
racing points from your profile is probably

1354
01:27:15.159 --> 01:27:18.439
a hassle on the back end.
Yeah, I'm sure that that makes things

1355
01:27:18.960 --> 01:27:24.920
ridiculously complicated. But so yeah,
no official word. There has been rumors

1356
01:27:24.960 --> 01:27:28.359
and miscommunications to that effect in the
past. I would love to see that.

1357
01:27:29.199 --> 01:27:30.680
Yeah, yeah, I have a
bunch of weird stuff on my profile

1358
01:27:30.760 --> 01:27:33.319
that I could get rid of that. I wouldn't mind wiping clean stuff that

1359
01:27:33.319 --> 01:27:35.319
I popped in for ten minutes.
It said, all right, that's enough

1360
01:27:35.359 --> 01:27:40.600
of that. Uh So that's there. Answers your question there, sir,

1361
01:27:41.319 --> 01:27:44.159
thank you for writing in Trey.
All right, here's a good question.

1362
01:27:44.960 --> 01:27:48.600
This comes in from a reader or
a listener, user, a person,

1363
01:27:49.039 --> 01:27:53.439
a player, ideally a human.
We're thinking human. We're gonna go with

1364
01:27:53.520 --> 01:27:57.960
human or you know what. A
metal head writes in in from New Jersey

1365
01:27:58.079 --> 01:28:03.199
and say there no Carl's Juniors and
thus no Captain Crunch milk shakes in Jersey.

1366
01:28:04.439 --> 01:28:09.720
So he went rogue and made his
own, dude, and he said

1367
01:28:09.920 --> 01:28:15.079
it was awesome. His question is
what other cereal do you think would make

1368
01:28:15.159 --> 01:28:18.520
a good milk shake? Tricks you'd
go, you go fruit flavors. I

1369
01:28:18.560 --> 01:28:26.159
think a tricks would be good.
I think actually just like frosted flakes or

1370
01:28:26.199 --> 01:28:30.800
corn flakes. I guess I would
go for a something chocolate e like a

1371
01:28:30.880 --> 01:28:34.840
cocoa pup, Coco pup, a
cookie crisp could be good. Although then

1372
01:28:34.960 --> 01:28:41.119
that's kind of a weird line of
a milkshake made out of breakfast cereal that's

1373
01:28:41.119 --> 01:28:44.000
supposed to be like cookies. I
guess you'd just yeah, you just have

1374
01:28:44.079 --> 01:28:46.479
a chocolate chip shake at that point. And then and then you're just you're

1375
01:28:46.520 --> 01:28:50.720
a hair away from Oreo shakes,
which they've already done. Yeah. Yeah,

1376
01:28:50.720 --> 01:28:57.720
I'm gonna say it's the well worn
Oreo shake pathway. Yawn. Uh,

1377
01:28:58.880 --> 01:29:00.760
you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna
take the I'm gonna kick this up

1378
01:29:00.760 --> 01:29:02.520
another level. Here's what I want
to see, all right. I want

1379
01:29:02.560 --> 01:29:09.680
to see the rice Crispy Treat milkshake. Yeah, throw some Rice Krispy treats

1380
01:29:09.720 --> 01:29:13.960
in there with some marshmallows. No, it's gotta be let it do its

1381
01:29:14.000 --> 01:29:15.720
thing. No, No, it's
gotta be the treat because that's got to

1382
01:29:15.760 --> 01:29:18.520
already have the melted down marshmallow,
yeah in it. You don't want to

1383
01:29:18.600 --> 01:29:23.600
throw a whole marshmallow and just have
chunks of marshmallow hanging out in your milkshake.

1384
01:29:23.720 --> 01:29:26.520
Marshmallows are weird, they are.
They are, so if you just

1385
01:29:26.640 --> 01:29:30.199
got one of those coming up your
your pipe, that'd be no good I

1386
01:29:30.279 --> 01:29:34.760
think you're eating marshmallows incorrectly, sir, or maybe you are question Actually,

1387
01:29:34.840 --> 01:29:38.199
Jeff, there are no more questions. We're gonna call that the end of

1388
01:29:38.199 --> 01:29:41.159
our question segments. All right,
fantastic, So thanks for everyone who wrote

1389
01:29:41.239 --> 01:29:45.520
in. If you didn't get red
on the podcast, keep trying, keep

1390
01:29:45.560 --> 01:29:48.840
you come up with questions. Bomb
cast at giant bomb dot com. Yeah

1391
01:29:49.039 --> 01:29:54.319
we uh, we totally neglected this
week to come up with a contest for

1392
01:29:54.439 --> 01:29:57.960
our Xbox three sixty h D DVD
drive. But just think the longer we

1393
01:29:58.079 --> 01:30:01.279
delay on this, the more valuable
this amazing piece of rare technology becomes.

1394
01:30:01.359 --> 01:30:06.039
You'll be able to think back and
be nostalgic about early two thousand and eight.

1395
01:30:06.119 --> 01:30:12.600
Remember back then, when when the
HDDVD drives was everywhere, when you

1396
01:30:12.680 --> 01:30:18.199
could still buy hddvds regularly and not
in weird bargain basement bins. They still

1397
01:30:18.239 --> 01:30:23.600
haven't hit that bargain basement level.
I know. That's a bummer. Although

1398
01:30:23.640 --> 01:30:27.720
since my year broken, I'm broke, I'm free, shackles of HDDVD have

1399
01:30:27.880 --> 01:30:30.680
been lifted from me. Now it's
me just wondering did Fletch ever come out?

1400
01:30:31.960 --> 01:30:33.840
That's a good thing. To wander
would have come out last week.

1401
01:30:33.920 --> 01:30:38.000
I'll need to look that up.
That's it for. That's it for for

1402
01:30:38.119 --> 01:30:40.600
emails, that's it for new releases, that's it for. Yeah, we

1403
01:30:40.680 --> 01:30:44.439
got any shouts Phil for the music. Oh yeah, I want to thank

1404
01:30:44.520 --> 01:30:47.079
thank, thank Phil who provided O
our wicked, awesome new theme music.

1405
01:30:47.600 --> 01:30:53.159
We we tortured him with various vague
requests of what we wanted to sound like,

1406
01:30:53.319 --> 01:30:56.680
no man, more electronic E and
then we and then he produced something

1407
01:30:56.800 --> 01:30:58.319
and then we said, no,
we're not gonna use that. Where to

1408
01:30:58.399 --> 01:31:00.760
use the thing you'd showed us first? But yeah, the other music will

1409
01:31:00.800 --> 01:31:03.119
show up. We will, we
will use it. And I want to

1410
01:31:03.159 --> 01:31:06.960
want to thank him for that.
And also a happy birthday to Destructoid days

1411
01:31:08.000 --> 01:31:11.079
turned two. Well good for them. I like those guys in their weird

1412
01:31:11.119 --> 01:31:15.000
metal helmet. Yeah, yeah,
they're sweet metal helmet and uh and Ron

1413
01:31:15.039 --> 01:31:18.560
Workman is a real American hero.
Uh this morning, I uh, I

1414
01:31:18.680 --> 01:31:21.479
totally set off the alarm in the
office. Yeah, way to go on

1415
01:31:21.600 --> 01:31:26.520
that. So that was that was
sweet And saw Mickey Dolan's Are those are

1416
01:31:26.560 --> 01:31:30.640
those two things connected? Maybe I
was so distracted because I was walking across

1417
01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:32.640
the street coming to the office from
parking my car, and as I was

1418
01:31:32.680 --> 01:31:36.520
crossing the street walking the other way, was what I believed to be in

1419
01:31:36.640 --> 01:31:41.520
my heart of hearts, Mickey Dolan's
with his of the Monkeys, of the

1420
01:31:41.600 --> 01:31:45.359
Monkeys, with his tight ponytail and
his scrunchy face, and I was so

1421
01:31:45.600 --> 01:31:48.159
thinking about, Wow, was that
Mickey? That was totally Mickey Dolan's.

1422
01:31:49.800 --> 01:31:53.039
I totally was distracted, and I
set off the alarm, and then the

1423
01:31:53.079 --> 01:31:57.239
cops showed up and and then they
left, and it was less dramatic than

1424
01:31:57.279 --> 01:31:59.720
I had hoped it was. But
yeah, when you called me to tell

1425
01:31:59.760 --> 01:32:01.439
me you set off the alarm,
you sounded very grim. It's like,

1426
01:32:01.560 --> 01:32:04.119
hey, man, are you gonna
be here soon? I just set off

1427
01:32:04.119 --> 01:32:06.319
the alarm. Oh well, that's
why you'd be here, so that we

1428
01:32:06.359 --> 01:32:09.720
could if we right, Yeah,
I know, but still it's had a

1429
01:32:09.800 --> 01:32:14.159
very grim sound to it. Well, I wasn't sure because it was terrifying

1430
01:32:14.159 --> 01:32:16.199
because it when I'm down here,
like I put in the wrong number on

1431
01:32:16.319 --> 01:32:19.520
the on the alarm and then it
started going off and it's this horrible loud

1432
01:32:19.640 --> 01:32:21.479
noise at the other end of the
room. I'm like, oh God,

1433
01:32:21.600 --> 01:32:26.079
stopped and I start hitting other buttons
and then like it's it, Like the

1434
01:32:26.199 --> 01:32:29.079
panel starts beeping at me and I'm
like, ah, there's all these noises.

1435
01:32:29.439 --> 01:32:31.920
Quiet Still, I'm not ready yet
for this to happen. I just

1436
01:32:32.039 --> 01:32:36.319
have my my morning drinks still and
tried to run upstairs and ask people.

1437
01:32:36.479 --> 01:32:41.039
It's a very like Kneel from the
Young Ones moment. Just machines hating you.

1438
01:32:41.239 --> 01:32:45.800
Yeah, it's happening again. All
right, techno fear tech, no

1439
01:32:46.079 --> 01:32:51.520
fear. So that'll do it for
the Giant Bomb Cast. Thanks for listening

1440
01:32:51.640 --> 01:33:03.680
and back next week. Yeah see
Youah done, Griff
