But like I was on three different 91 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.600 planes boarded when it got canceled for different reasons. There 92 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.480 was a weather one. There was one where right before takeoff, 93 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.360 the pilot is like I just hit my regulated minutes. 94 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:54.759 A lot min a day. We got to go back. 95 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:56.800 I'm not allowed to fly, And then we had one 96 00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:58.360 where they liked, They're like, oops, we put you on 97 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.079 the wrong plane. There's crosswinds, this plane is too small 98 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:02.680 for that. So we got swap me do a new plan, 99 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.120 but we're gonna take you off right away. And then 100 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.199 that one had to go back to so literally like 101 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.079 an entire day spent at the airport. 102 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:08.480 Yeah. 103 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.600 I also had mechanical issues with mine, where they were 104 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:13.839 just like, yeah, one of our radars just doesn't work 105 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:15.639 and we need to get that sorted. And we were 106 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:19.199 just on the tarmac for like two hours. It's negative 107 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.000 three degrees in Wisconsin, and they're like, yeah, we need 108 00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:23.560 to turn the plane off for a little bit while 109 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:27.279 we reboot the computers.

So maybe 250 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:47.120 you just ride a rink corps on this thing. There 251 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.480 are horses in that one movie. Maybe you can ride 252 00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:49.879 a horse. 253 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.240 Oh yeah, so the Last Jedi the Gambling Horse. Yeah, 254 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:55.600 that was a bad part of the movie. 255 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.200 They ride the they ride the space horses on a 256 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.240 star Destroyer in Rise of Skywalker. 257 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:02.559 Which horses are you talking about? 258 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.679 There's two horses. I blacked that movie out. 259 00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:12.200 The thing that the other Gungan wasn't Jarge, the Lieutenant 260 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.679 Gungan was on. 261 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:15.480 You. 262 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:20.480 You're talking about he's a cheriot or whatever. It sounds 263 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.279 like an animal. He's like, yeah, yeah, I think one 264 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:23.799 of those things. 265 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:29.720 Yeah, looked like I got you. There's like some implications 266 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:34.480 that's a problematic. Yeah, there's nothing problematic. Those are the ride. 267 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:37.919 Don't talk to them. 268 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.639 Contrary to popular belief, it was not me wooing whenever 269 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.440 Cody Roads came up on stage. I'm never gonna back 270 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:49.879 like okay. So also I understand people got to work 271 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:54.000 during the show Homegirl next to me, brightest laptop screen, typing, 272 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:57.919 the whole weird. And then I'm like they're trying to 273 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:02.360 build some atmosphere and everything, especially with the Divinity trailer 274 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:06.000 and presentation. Meanwhile, just like shine bright and white, Well, 275 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:07.039 why you just turned on the brightness? 276 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.039 I don't get Well, if you're doing an article or 277 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.679 posting or something, don't go to the show. 278 00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:13.240 You're not gonna get good wi Fi. 279 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.679 You can do this live that life before. Yes, it 280 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:19.320 does suck. Yeah, because like. 281 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.240 There's a time where it's like I want to go 282 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:22.879 to the show and I know I have to work, 283 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:24.519 but I kind of, you know, I want to be there. 284 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:25.399 There's something to it. 285 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:28.039 But after I got after I did it a few times, 286 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:29.360 I very quick was like, I'm not going to the 287 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:30.399 show if I have to write any. 288 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:32.159 But also based off of where I was sitting, my 289 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:34.279 assumption is if you want it to work on the show. 290 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.440 And also there's the the seats cost money, Yeah right, 291 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:42.120 so might not get a cheaper seat and be less 292 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:44.960 I don't know, visible or in the way. Also, that 293 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.159 ship was loud, y'all. 294 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.080 Yeah, I felt bad. I should have told you to 295 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:50.879 bring your plugs. 296 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:52.279 Did you pee at any point? 297 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.480 Yes, and it took me a very long time to 298 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:57.399 get back to your coral and yeah. Yeah. So it's 299 00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.000 weird though, because they have a whole separate long as 300 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.240 line for people to fill in as seat fillers, Yet 301 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.679 no one filled any seats around me. Oh weird, Like 302 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:08.919 there was a whole section that was empty next to 303 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.240 me that never got filled up or whatever, And so. 304 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:14.039 They didn't cut to the audience that frequently. It never 305 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:16.639 looked like seas someone off that just wasn't a camera zone. 306 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:19.639 Yeah, I'm surprised they care that much about doing stuff 307 00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:22.759 like filling seats if hey, yeah. 308 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:25.039 Because that's what the Oscars do. Did you meet miss Piggy? 309 00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:29.039 I was gonna say, Mike, despite all these wrestlers showing 310 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.080 up and all these actors, the person who was most 311 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.279 star struck to see was miss Picture. 312 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.360 Yeah. Yeah, even though she's banging Keeley. 313 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:42.000 You know, I don't yuck anyone's yumps. They're porking. I'm impressed. 314 00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:46.360 All right, Uh, we're not going to talk about games 315 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.639 today because we're going to be locked in this room 316 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.240 talking about games for quite a while. But Jeff Grub, 317 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.000 do you have any news I do just real quick, 318 00:14:54.039 --> 00:15:00.879 Mike dispatch? Uh huh? I like Dispatch? Yeah, yeah, I was. 319 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:04.080 I really enjoyed that. It was like like I played. 320 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:05.440 Like the first four episodes like Okay, once the day, 321 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:07.200 I'll do an episode, then the last four episodes like 322 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:08.919 I'm just gonna do all this right now. 323 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:12.480 Yeah nice? Uh? I really That's not usually my style 324 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:12.919 of game. 325 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.000 I think the dispatching was a bit more gameplay for me. 326 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:19.120 Like if it was just the dialogue options and the 327 00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:21.000 quick time events, that would not have been enough for me. 328 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:24.519 I would have enjoyed the story. But I really liked dispatching. So, yeah, 329 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.480 did you like the hacking. I do. 330 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.080 I'm a sick of for hacking. I like to do 331 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:31.480 you know the pipe dream thing and BioShock everyone. 332 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:35.240 Pipe dream? Yeah? 333 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.039 Yeah, I watch BioShock retrospective today, people like, now, obviously 334 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:40.480 the hacking is stupid. 335 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:44.840 Well, the hacking is cool because at a certain point 336 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.000 you can fight back against like the traps that are 337 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:47.440 laid for you. 338 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:48.759 I think that's a fun, little. 339 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.600 Spect escalated very nice. Yeah, like so complicated that you're 340 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.039 going to lose a hacking thing. 341 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:56.080 I mean, that's the great thing about the gameplay of 342 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:59.639 Dispatches that they do escalate it, and there's fun twists 343 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.559 that you don't necessarily expect from it. The way that 344 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:05.200 weaves into the story and everything, it makes it feel 345 00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:07.240 like more of a video game than some of those 346 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:08.120 games have in the past. 347 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:09.600 And I swear I'm not going to do like every 348 00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:13.000 single did you do this or that? Did anyone here 349 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:20.000 kick Sonar out? For sure? Ye sucks dude.

Yeah, 352 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:27.039 I felt bad. 353 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:31.840 I kept Lady Batman ruled rules, they kept Sonar I kept, 354 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.600 so I like I liked Coop. 355 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:36.320 Also, I kind of I kind of want to be like, 356 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.120 I don't think we should cut anybody. Actually, I think 357 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:40.399 this is a stupid idea, but that was not. 358 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.200 An option, the boss said, Cuts Corporation. 359 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:45.399 The hot blonde lady. 360 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.240 Yes, man, the hot blonde lady.
