1:23
you get married I'll probably have a favorite [Laughter]
1:28
wife what you been doing doing ah just training and training and training I've
1:34
done nothing this week so getting ready for the marathon eh yeah yeah yeah all
1:38
set to uh watch on the television practicing drinking your G&S
1:44
might just do a little bit more practice right now I thought you were going to I
1:49
thought we were going to hear you open the can as usual but no no I've already
1:52
opened it I'm sorry no it's all right whatever I didn't time it right this
1:55
week oh well um how is your achievement competition going
2:01
it is going great this week I'm sure that's what all the listeners want to
2:04
know I remember last week when I wasn't happy when I felt like I was the only
2:09
person in the team doing something uhhuh this week we are quite happily going to
2:14
sail past the um the score we need this
2:18
week right and yeah cuz we've got another hour to go and what are we on
2:24
we're I think 2,200 above the level where we would get
2:30
kicked out of the comp so you can kind of just sit back and do nothing this
2:33
week yep not even worried about getting any any more achievements now H well you
2:38
still got to get one every day still getting one every day I still got a
2:42
couple hundred today aund points not 100 achievements yeah right yeah yep how
2:47
many games do they need to put out for you to maintain this level of
2:52
achievement getting they don't have to oh like if they stopped releasing games
2:58
today for some reason yep how long could you sustain this
3:02
level of performance I probably got just what I've got at the moment probably the
3:07
achievement of day easy I can go for a couple of years on that but the level
3:10
I'm getting probably I don't know 3 months right so how how many
3:15
achievements do you get a day on average uh well this week I got 103 right 103
3:22
achievements yes my gamer score for this week was 2,645 wow see I got quite a lot today I
3:29
got n ooh um that's probably that might be the most I've ever gotten in a day and
3:35
I'll I mean I'll explain why and it's it's not very impressive to be honest um
3:39
the reason why but I I will explain why uh a bit later but yeah I just wondered
3:44
because you actually got 11 did I yep oh there you go oh no sorry it was 11
3:50
points never mind 11 points I got more than 11 points oh no this hasn't updated
3:56
cuz I I follow you on a site that I go on so I have you as unofficial friend on
4:00
there but for some reason it hasn't it doesn't say you got any achievements
4:03
what's this what's this website that I'm on that I don't know about true
4:07
achievement.com someone else was telling me about this the other day actually and
4:13
I was like I'm sure that's the thing Luke was talking about yes yeah Ben from
4:18
big head mode and I were talking about this the other day and I was like I
4:21
swear to God that's the thing that Luke's killing himself
4:24
to to you ditched the second day of RTX
4:28
to to survive on that is very true that is exactly what I did
4:34
okay all right yeah I just wanted because I suppose you've got the whole
4:37
Xbox 360 back catalog if you needed to dip back there and get some achievements
4:41
and you've got your Windows Phone Y and I mean how many Xbox One games how often
4:47
do Xbox One games come out cuz I only buy I I buy games infrequently as you
4:52
know how often there's two games a week
4:56
at least really okay and what I also do as well as I fired up my old um American
5:02
account that I've got right cuz there are I didn't I don't don't use that
5:07
account to buy games cheaper I'll still just pay whatever they're worth in
5:10
Australia but there's a whole catalog of games that are never going to be
5:13
released in Australia right and so I just got my this American count that's
5:19
all legit and everything I got that up and running and I got some games what
5:23
that what games are not released here um there's a whole thing with um
5:30
this ID at Xbox which is Microsoft they've got all these developers coming
5:34
in and they're sort of helping them get their game released yeah um half of them
5:39
because they're such small companies they can't afford to pay to get their
5:43
game um classified in Australia it's just not worthwhile for them right and
5:48
we can't have it for sale here if it's not classified exactly we we're allowed
5:53
to buy it they're not allowed to sell it it's really weird it's quite legal I can
5:59
we can own movies and games that are not classified yeah right if they have a
6:04
classification that's where that runs problems right cuz I have I've ordered
6:09
the because we can't buy the um unclassified version of DVDs over here
6:14
either but you can import them and I like I own some but in the US like if a
6:18
horror movie comes out they'll have like the DVD version that's like rated R and
6:24
then they'll have the unclassified which is like the you know the yeah actually
6:29
call I think unrated and they won't have that's that's it yeah they won't have
6:33
those at the movies ever because I know like I got this from
6:38
Kevin Smith cuz Zack andir Mak a porno he was fighting to get that as a as an R
6:44
rated movie right and they nearly didn't and he's gone um well what if we just go
6:51
with an unrated like and we just release it like that like we'll still get people
6:55
to come see it and no one will go and see it cuz people think it is a porner
6:59
and you won't get that huh audience but yeah the second that they
7:04
come out at the on DVD they just got to be unrated and they can sell away but in
7:08
Australia we don't have that no not that I'm aware of although sometimes I see
7:13
things it says the unrated version but it's it's not it's it's not no we don't
7:18
really have that but the games I've got are like um Tower of guns never heard of
7:22
it um jet car jet car stunts Roblox yeah
7:27
right no no just just a t they Little Indie Games one of them I think one game
7:34
I picked up by 6180 Moon I got for four
7:38
bucks okay and that'll give me a th000
7:42
achievements game is call okay wow so
7:46
it's really all about pacing yourself uh taking advantage of you know
7:51
International laws and and just you know making sure you get a couple hundred
7:57
achievement points every day yep couple gamer score not achievements all right
8:01
yeah get get the one a day and then I just watch I've actually had to hold
8:04
back getting it playing games this week because I want to save some easy
8:10
achievements I've got cuz the new Lego game came out this week yeah I love
8:14
those games but I have to hold off because I need stuff for next week yeah
8:20
cuz if your team lets you down next week fast quick points yep I got a bunch of
8:25
achievements today and uh I'll tell you why I don't know if you if you can see
8:30
what they were for you'll figure it out um but we finally finished we we've been
8:34
playing it together uh Murdered Soul Suspect what did you think I really
8:40
enjoyed it I was a little disappointed with certain aspects of it but I don't
8:47
understand why it got so much hate I can tell you cuz people thought it was an
8:51
action game yeah you look at the cover of that game it's a cop who's been shot
8:55
and he's got a gun and right there's none of that in the game right no this
9:00
is not um the only combat is against the demons which is not combat it's well it
9:07
is but it's stealth more than anything else yeah I really liked it I was
9:11
disappointed there were elements of Investigation in it where you found
9:15
Clues and you had to kind of guess things but a lot of it comes down to
9:21
finding things hidden around the map for example the reason I got so many
9:24
achievements today is because we finally got to the last two areas of the game
9:29
and Ed all of the the objects that you have to find to complete the side quests
9:34
because all you have to do is find the objects and then you solve the mystery
9:39
kind of thing yeah and so yeah we just knocked off all the all of those things
9:43
like the the Salem witch trial history the the history of Salem in general the
9:48
um you know like the side quests about each location has got uh haunting story
9:55
that's associated with it that kind of thing I thought also very interesting
9:59
game and I love that story and I wish they would even I wish I would try again
10:04
to make a game like that I think it could have been a little bit better yeah
10:07
with having that little bit more investigation than just getting lucky
10:11
finding things to progress but yeah but then they've also tried that in the past
10:15
with like LA Noir LA Noir was really frustrating actually I said today I
10:20
think maybe you know if we sat down and tried to play through that again we
10:24
could we could get through it because now we know but the first time I tried
10:29
to to play that it was so frustrating because only having a limited range of
10:33
responses to people really messed me up because I'd be wanting to question
10:38
somebody about something and i' choose an option that I thought was going to be
10:41
about that and then he would just fly off the handle about something else and
10:44
and it didn't actually matter at all what you did no apparently you could
10:49
just flunk it all and you would still progress yep you could skip the combat
10:53
and just pick randomly for everything and then just still the game would move
10:57
to the end and I yeah I think they missed the mark there as well yeah I
11:02
enjoyed Murdered Soul Suspect more than I enjoyed LA Noir I'll say that and I'm
11:07
probably in the minority there but you know whatever no I yeah I don't
11:11
understand I think it is because people thought it was an action game so they
11:14
brought it with completely different mindset than what they're walking into
11:17
yeah right yeah there's no there's very little action in it and like the what
11:22
there is is simple and it's I don't know it's a great story yeah exactly it's
11:26
it's like an interactive story more than anything else but yeah I uh I really
11:30
enjoyed it I'm I'm glad we we made it through it um I I only say that because
11:36
we get limited time to play games not that because it was bad or anything it's
11:39
just that you know I so rarely get to finish a game these days felt good to
11:44
get through it you know you ever going to finish the Witcher I don't know that
11:47
the Witcher ends well you can finish the main story can't you yeah you can I
11:51
suppose you can see like I keep saying I every time I jump in to play it I get a
11:55
chance to jump in and I'm like I got progress this main story
12:00
I could maybe do with getting some more of the uh the potion upgrades or
12:04
upgrading my armor a bit first so maybe I'll just do that and then I'll get into
12:08
it and then 4 hours later I haven't done anything cuz I've just been [ __ ]
12:13
around trying to find some rare herb and
12:18
uh and then it's like oh well that's my time to play for this
12:24
week I really need to sit down and play that again soon it's very good maybe want to get
12:30
kicked out of my comp one game that I've been playing
12:35
this week and I can play it more because I can play it on the train and I can
12:39
play it on my lunch break and I can kind of play it anywhere is it tag it's a
12:45
it's not tag it's a game called crashlands okay it's on Steam and it's
12:51
also on IOS and Android and it has Cloud sync uh and your save game can be
12:58
synchronized between all of the platforms okay so I can play it on my
13:03
iPhone or my iPad also on the PC I don't have the PC version because I've been
13:08
playing on the iPad I don't need it but you can do that and I think um that's
13:12
pretty awesome or I don't I don't know that there's enough that's different
13:16
about the PC version to make me want to buy it but but the fact that I can I can
13:20
just play it on everything is is pretty awesome I don't know a whole lot of
13:23
games where you can do that I think it's something that's starting to take off
13:27
now because they're starting to realize that people want will will do that they will
13:33
have their PC version their phone version and depending on the type of
13:37
game if it works go for it why not yeah well this one's really good for it so
13:41
basically what what crash lands is uh a mix of kind of
13:47
Diablo Style game play with the crafting kind of gameplay more like Don't Starve
13:53
than than Minecraft and it's also in that kind of isometri isometric style so
13:59
have you played Don't Starve uh yes okay
14:02
so imagine Don't Starve but with um a bit
14:07
more yeah Diablo style combat where there's more combat involved than what
14:14
is in sort of Dark Star where it's more just about survival yeah and the combat
14:18
is better it's not just stuff hits you and then you hit stuff back like when
14:22
when you each of the enemies has a different style of combat and when an
14:25
enem is about to attack you see like a a red area where the attack is going to be
14:30
and so you can dodge it and it's it's very welld designed for mobile devices
14:35
like touch screens and stuff and from what I understand on the PC you really
14:38
only use the mouse cuz it's all based around kind of one click very simple
14:45
interface but the crafting and everything gets quite in-depth later on
14:50
yep so uh yeah basically you're this character you crash land on this planet
14:55
um your Escape pod is there and then you explore the area find new teleporters so
15:00
you can teleport from area to area uh you get quests so it's a little
15:04
different to to those crafting games in the it's actually it's got quests and
15:08
stuff and it's only single player there's no multiplayer or anything like
15:11
that and um you just kind of work your way around the world instead of leveling
15:15
up you build yourself better armor as you discover so like you start with a
15:19
crafting bench and then you use that crafting bench once you get enough
15:22
materials to build a sawmill and then you use the Sawmill once you get enough
15:27
materials to build uh like a leather working thing and then you kind of
15:32
progress on from there how much do you pay for it crash lands uh I think on the
15:37
iPhone I got it for like a couple of bucks I could be wrong about that it's
15:42
not very expensive oh cuz I'm looking at the Android one version and it's $720 at
15:46
the moment oh okay I think I got it for a bit less than that cuz maybe during in
15:51
aale but I'd say it's worth it if you you know have time like cuz I catch
15:56
public transport and stuff like that so it's kind of a game that I'm enjoying
16:00
and I like it because I can find time to play it more easily than I can you know
16:05
on my Xbox for example yeah yeah I recommend it cool I might I'm I'm very
16:10
tempted to hit this buy button right now but I might hold off and see if I can
16:14
get it for a little bit cheaper all right I'll be interested to
16:17
see what you think of it when you get it yeah just remind me cuz I'll forget okay
16:24
now we both went and saw movies this week we did we did um we both went and
16:30
saw the new Ro tooth movie Laser team yes yeah mine uh I got invited uh sort
16:37
of last minute to a screening of it um and I knew you were going so I thought
16:41
oh this is a good opportunity for us to discuss it I liked it I liked it as well
16:46
I liked it even more than I thought I was going to like it I was even a bit
16:50
hesitant like I'm a big rooster te fan but I was a bit hesitant thinking that
16:53
they were making a movie that was going to be just for their fans and going to
16:58
have jokes everywhere I that I would miss cuz their Community is crazy yeah I
17:04
see I'm not a big well I mean it's not that I'm not a fan it's just that I'm
17:08
not that big a fan I'm not up to date on everything that they do I've seen a few
17:12
videos I think they're funny but I'm not I definitely don't follow them you know
17:16
what I mean like most of my experience with them is because you're a fan and
17:21
Jenna's a fan and so I therefore I see stuff that they do
17:26
because you guys watch it or because you know you and I have gone to see them at
17:31
PS or something when we've been at packs but like there were in jokes didn't
17:35
there but it was a movie that anyone could go and watch and absolutely enjoy
17:40
yeah totally it was it was like a legitimate movie it was not uh I didn't
17:45
feel like it it did any there there were no jokes or anything that I didn't
17:51
understand or that I I thought oh that's that's a rooster teeth thing it was just
17:57
it was just a good funny movie movie I like I do like how they even made they
18:01
even made fun of the sort of Americans in those types of movies where there's
18:05
one line in it where it's um um you have to save the world but
18:11
more importantly the nation yeah that's right got a world to save and more
18:16
importantly a nation yeah it's great yeah the the script was good very well
18:21
written and I thought the acting was the acting was all right there was some bits
18:24
there was a bit like yeah these guys aren't they're not they they're not
18:28
actors well they are now guess they're performers yeah they are now but they're
18:33
funny guys so it works if they get to do the sequel which they've sort of alluded
18:37
to in the movie at the end of our screening um Bernie burns from wrist of
18:42
teeth uh was there and he came down did a Q&A at the end and somebody asked
18:48
about the sequel and he I mean I'm pretty sure he said yeah they'll be
18:53
doing one so they I was about to say they'd be crazy not to but I don't know how this did
18:59
finally well see I don't know they they crowdfunded it right and they they
19:03
raised it cost 2.4 million or sorry they they raised 2.4 million I guess that
19:08
doesn't really mean that's how much it cost it could have cost more than that
19:11
um cost less yeah depending on how how it all panned out cuz you know the movie
19:17
industry is a weird place I didn't know that I thought they just kind of made it
19:21
the way that they make you know other films or that other kind of YouTube
19:25
people make films yeah but no this was a full-on where making a movie where
19:30
funding a movie and the money it really shows yeah well that's a lot of the
19:34
special effects so I was kind of like oh this is this is like a legit thing like
19:39
I think there's one scene where this army helicopter and my God that thing
19:44
looked real yeah I I mean it's funny too because I know that stuff's fake because
19:49
I know that they didn't have the money for that in theory or like that they
19:52
couldn't really have done that but other than that I don't think I would have
19:55
noticed and other things like there are certain things in Indie and budget films
20:00
that I kind of take note of because I've you know like stuff that we've done
20:03
before and we've tried to pull something off and it doesn't work or like you know
20:07
like we did we've done gags before where we blow up a car and we just make a
20:11
light flash and stuff like that or yeah and then there's there's a scene in this
20:15
where they crash a military vehicle I think they're in like I think in a jeep
20:19
the bad guys are in a jeep ah yes and
20:22
they they crash and you never see it
20:27
crash but you you think you did if you know what I mean there a very successful
20:33
kind of not crash do you know what I mean like I don't know if do you even
20:38
remember do you know the scene that I'm talking about yes yeah but yeah you
20:41
think you're pretty sure that they've crashed but you never see the actual
20:45
well I mean they did right because it looks like they're about to crash and
20:49
then everyone's like Yay they crashed and then you kind of you see the car
20:54
kind of do a little thing but then but then I was like like hey that was pretty
20:59
successful not crashing a car like I thought I you know I I felt like it
21:03
crashed even though I but because I was looking for it I knew that it didn't I
21:07
don't know it's hard to explain there was a lot of stuff like that where they
21:10
it was handled very well and I was like I guess they got some professionals into
21:13
to show them how to do that stuff and um apparently the most
21:20
dangerous stunt uh in the movie was performed by Bernie himself and that was
21:27
when he gets BL Ed out of the house when it explodes and lands on the Bonnet of a
21:32
car oh wow yeah he had to jump off a thing onto the Bonnet out of a car yeah
21:37
I know he wasn't blown out of the house but still falling on the car no no no no
21:41
he was he was blown out of the house no but yeah he said that that was the the
21:46
most dangerous thing and he and he did that himself and they kept telling him
21:49
beforehand just make sure make sure you you land right otherwise best not worry
21:53
about it just just make sure you land properly I've actually may let him do it
21:57
yeah well I guess they professionals but they are but well the so the plot of the film
22:03
actually I just realiz we haven't explained the film at all no the plot of
22:06
the film is that Earth has been contacted by aliens and they've informed
22:13
us that there are various different races of aliens one of which is very
22:17
violent and wants to come and take over the the Earth and so we need to prove
22:22
ourselves by training a champion to fight their champion and to help us this
22:27
alien race says they're going to send us uh a suit of armor which will enhance
22:33
our Champions abilities and so they they they ship the
22:39
suit but because it's coming through space you know it's going to take a long
22:42
time to get here and so Earth begins training this Champion who's this guy
22:46
who's like raised from birth to be perfect he's like a perfect um you know
22:52
fit Kind Of Enders game style Ultimate Warrior person and I'm just trying to
22:58
remember the actor who plays him because I actually quite like him he's quite a
23:03
good actor he was good he was funny and also I mean
23:08
clearly uh would kick the [ __ ] out of me and yeah no I thought he was really good
23:12
in it there's a lot of funny stuff regarding his character that I thought
23:16
was handled really well cuz he never he maintained his seriousness but was still
23:19
goofy in a way I liked the way he was handled yeah I don't want to give things
23:24
away cuz I I think everybody should like you should check this film out if if you
23:28
get the it's it's it's really good I think you'll probably find I'll be
23:32
released to buy pretty soon have a long
23:36
run at the cinema no I don't know if it's is it getting a mainstream
23:41
release uh yes and no it's basic what they've done is they've released it out
23:46
cu we've seen the release that's it's out there now a lot of the viewings that
23:51
the one I saw was done by website called tug Tu yeah same so that's again B from
23:57
big head mode did that which is this is a great thing so it gives people the
24:01
option to and I wish I'd known about this early I'd seen it around um so for
24:06
movies that don't have the money behind them to get into all the cinemas they go
24:11
to this website and people can organize their own viewings yeah so they contact
24:16
their their local Cinema and go hey I want to try and get this movie showing
24:20
here if I set up through here if we get the people will you show it and then if
24:24
they go yes you put it onto the website if you can get the numbers to buy
24:28
tickets they'll guarantee that the viewing is happening yeah right and so
24:33
that's sort of the how this happened for this movie I don't think and so that's
24:37
out there now I don't know how long it's going to run for right it's not going to
24:40
be like two months like Star Wars is no is Star Wars still going I think it's
24:46
still going but it is really starting to wind down now I need to go see it in
24:50
Gold Class I haven't seen it in Gold class yet I need to do the same okay we
24:55
can talk more about that Star Wars in a bit we've got some Star Wars news but
24:59
yeah so anyway yeah they send they send this suit of armor and then through
25:02
happen stance four kind of redneck idiots end up with the suit and and then
25:08
well different bits of the suit cuz it's all supposed to go on the one person but
25:11
they all end up with individually different bits and uh and then stuff
25:17
happens Y and then you can go watch it to find out the
25:21
rest yep and yeah as I said definitely go see this yeah it's very funny go get
25:26
your hands on it yeah see it somehow support them preferably
25:31
cuz I'd like to see what they're going to do next they had trailers for a few
25:34
other films that they're doing at the beginning did you notice that I missed
25:38
the first 15 minutes of the movie oh bugger all right yeah I don't know how
25:44
it really really starts so you didn't
25:46
introduce it then no um the way it was they were running really behind and by
25:52
the time everyone arrived and able to get everyone in it was yeah already late
25:59
well bugger so I'm hopefully going to try and ask if hey missed the first 15 minutes
26:05
because I was helping you out any [ __ ] I can get a copy of a
26:08
movie sweet I think that's fair agreed so two thumbs up yeah two thumbs up for
26:14
me too I really enjoyed it go check it out uh another film that I really
26:19
enjoyed is the force awakens and we've talked about that quite a bit but we do
26:24
have some Star Wars news as usual so uh accordingly here is
26:30
the Star Wars news jingle Star warss Wars news Star Wars
26:38
[Music]
26:43
news we start with the sad news uh sure yeah go go ahead what's the sad news
26:48
well the fact that it's been pushed back M cuz it was meant to be coming out June
26:54
next year yeah May May and now we're looking at December next year which kind
26:59
of sucks yeah it does sucks you know why right I'm tempted to say money but they
27:06
sort of it's not money well traditionally Star Wars movies always
27:10
came out in May like they've all come out in May the force awakens was the
27:15
first to not do that I think they think the reason that it was so successful has
27:21
something to do with the fact that it came out when it did so they want all
27:26
the others to come out then now I think that's what it is oh I actually thought
27:30
it's because they're filming more no I don't think so I think it's because the
27:35
force awakens like came out in December it was like the biggest freaking movie
27:40
of all time so they're like well well let's put the next one out in December
27:43
and do that again oh I thought it was yeah just because like they've cuz
27:46
they've Rewritten the script a little bit based off everyone's reaction to the
27:50
force awakens that was going to push it back a little bit um this is the full
27:53
press release from Disney it says Star Wars episode 8 originally scheduled for
27:57
release on May 26th 2017 will Now debut on December 15th 2017 the move follows
28:04
the extraordinary success of Star Wars the Force awakens which was the first
28:07
Star Wars movie to Premiere in December in the popular holiday movie goinging
28:10
Corridor it smashed numerous records including biggest domestic and Global
28:14
debuts of all time as well as the biggest domestic second and third
28:17
weekends blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah yeah I mean to be fair
28:21
they don't follow that up with with saying that's why we moved it but it
28:26
seems to imply that that's the case oh and it might also have something to
28:30
do with Avatar 2 coming out the week after yeah that could be that could be
28:37
related as well yeah I've just read that that yeah episode eight will now open a
28:41
week before James kon's Avatar 2
28:46
H which is one of the old biggest grossing movies I really wish they'd get
28:50
off how much movies gross I want to actually know just tickets they sold
28:55
yeah it's it's how many people actually went and saw it yeah they don't want to
28:58
know that it's it's weird it's like this whole thing with video games where they
29:02
talk about how video games make more than movies make when they launch they
29:08
also cost 10 times as much yes so come on yeah just give me don't tell me how
29:14
much it made tell me how many tickets you sold cuz the cost of movie tickets
29:19
now is a lot more than what they used to be yeah exactly yeah it's
29:24
ridiculous well it's not I guess it serves the purpose which is they w't
29:28
encourage everybody to go see it so it's marketing so it looks like here that the
29:34
Pirates of the Caribbean is now coming out in May instead of Star Wars no I
29:38
don't care no I was actually hoping that they'd maybe do uh theater re-release of
29:44
the original movies yeah I'd like them to do that in the original theatrical
29:48
version that would be great you've got them there they're just they're just
29:52
just give them to us they're crazy not to like it's printing money that would
29:57
make so much the other news about Star Wars episode 8 um and you you kind as
30:03
you said maybe this has got something to do with the sh the reedu but they are
30:09
giving it a bit of a rewrite um because of the fans reaction to the force
30:15
awakens not in a bad way apparently um people were so taken in with the new
30:22
characters Ray Finn and Poe that they're
30:26
going to change episode 8 and kind of reduced the roles of some other new
30:31
characters to to give the characters from Force awakens some more stuff to do
30:37
apparently which is a bit weird which I just find a little weird that they
30:41
didn't really think that people were going to fall in love with those three
30:44
characters and think that they're now the three main characters in the movie
30:48
like you had Luke L and Han the original and now you've got Finn rain po yeah and
30:54
I don't know it seems like it's a bit of a weird I don't know like
30:58
wasn't the script finished isn't the story like set like I don't know it
31:03
seems like a weird thing to say oh maybe we'll go in and change it and make put
31:06
some more of these people in like hang on a minute isn't isn't the script
31:09
supposed to be like a finally tuned engine for the for the movie even the
31:14
director of eight I forget who that is Ryan Johnson Ryan Johnson he was still
31:19
asking JJ to change things and put things in that'll make his job easier at
31:24
eight that's true actually I forgot about that so even something that's sort
31:27
of we've completely finished we're filming this now can you change that for me
31:33
yeah well I don't know I mean Force awakens turned out well
31:38
so can only get better I don't know about
31:44
that it could get a lot worse exactly yeah so they are changing a few
31:50
things and then the other Star Wars news we have is that the force awakens will
31:53
be released on Blu-ray in April which is pretty quick um I'm not getting it on
32:00
blur I've already pre-ordered my copy though I'm just getting it digitally on
32:06
your Xbox yep it's 22 bucks it is but then what are you going to watch it on when your
32:12
ex when when the Xbox two comes out whatever they call the next
32:17
one I'll probably buy it I'll going to buy it more than once I it's a stupid
32:21
argu I know I'm not it's pointless because like once they release all three
32:26
they release a trilogy pack with all the extra spee special features I'll buy
32:30
that and then they were released the whole nine movies with the super special
32:34
edition features for everything else I'll buy that you know what I don't know
32:37
why I worry about it you know what I'm looking at right now that I dragged out
32:40
from under my bed that that that I've not made any use of in a long time it's
32:44
a box of of some things guess what those things you want to discuss that on here
32:50
or the other box ah okay the one that the one that was behind I no I told you
32:55
I don't use these anymore ah I'll give you a clue they start with the
33:00
they start with the letter
33:04
d and you don't use anymore
33:08
no well that takes them out mhm mhm I'll
33:12
give you a clue there's another D in there I can't
33:18
think DVDs you still have some yeah I do I got
33:24
a box full of them they're not even in in cases anymore I took them out of the
33:27
cases and put them just in the I got I bought like uh sleeves for them and then
33:33
took the covers out of the cases and put the DVD in the sleeve and then the
33:38
sleeve inside the cover and then put them in a crate and threw all the cases
33:42
away recycled those because I just had too many and not I I was running out of
33:47
bookshelf space and then now like I don't know it's just I look
33:54
at this box and I'm like that is like thousands of dollars wasted I'm not even
33:58
allowed to to get them digitally legally like if I don't watch the stupid DVD
34:03
technically I'm breaking the law it's like it's ridiculous
34:06
so yeah I guess I shouldn't judge you on what format you buy it on because it
34:12
makes no [ __ ] difference cuz it'll all be obsolete eventually within a year
34:17
or two so maybe it's better to buy it digitally I think it is yeah you just
34:22
got to be careful where you buy it from digitally still because they can still
34:26
disappear yep just because you have the license in that format they can still
34:30
cuz you're not buying the movie you're buying a
34:35
license and that licenses to watch on that format but they argue that that's
34:40
the same as DVDs anyway so that's what I'm saying with DVDs it's yeah so
34:45
technically I mean if you're going to buy a DVD and then rip it onto like your
34:50
hard drive or whatever so you can use it with your iTunes and all your devices
34:54
and that kind of stuff you might as well just downloaded it as far as they can
34:57
they concerned like that's what's I don't know it seems all all a bit Petty
35:02
to me like like all these movies that I've got on DVD right if I say they
35:07
stopped making DVD players in a couple of years which they probably will
35:10
mhm I have to re all those yes like because you don't have the license to
35:17
play them on another media device yeah right and so the lesson that I've
35:22
learned from that is don't buy them in the first place like watch stuff on
35:28
Netflix and then you know they keep getting closer and closer
35:34
to being something sensible and then they take a step back I know with
35:38
Netflix at the moment yeah they're now doing a whole Crackdown on the people
35:42
trying to log in from Australia to the US version yeah yeah yeah and it's not
35:48
Netflix don't really care but they're giving pressure from movie studios and S
35:52
like well we're in Australia we can't watch it any other way what do you want
35:57
to to do well you can you have to get foxtail cuz foxtail I think that's the
36:01
problem here is that foxtail owns the um the rights to show various TV shows in
36:06
Australia and I'm not paying $100 a month for something I can get for 11 no
36:10
why the [ __ ] would you I've never had Fox ta uh and I never will I've never
36:15
had cable at all I've had it in houses that I've been in because somebody else
36:19
had it but I've I've never paid for it and I never will like I don't understand
36:25
I I don't know it's just so expensive it's it's just gotting more and more
36:31
expensive as it goes on but there's no Freedom with it I don't find right you
36:36
have to watch I mean sure some of them sometimes there's like a 100 channels
36:39
but like I don't know I've I've never sat down at some fox tail like say at my
36:45
my parents house never sat down at fox tail flick through and found exactly
36:49
what I wanted to watch no like it's always a compromise it's like ah I guess
36:53
I'll sit here and watch this no I'll go do something else like I'll play a video
36:58
game or something yeah something that I really the the way we want to watch
37:01
things now is we want to go in I want to watch this you click the button you
37:04
watch play and then you binge watch for a few episodes cuz and then you go off
37:08
and do whatever else you want yeah but I guess I've never been I've never watched
37:12
TV the same way that you know some people just come home and flick the TV
37:15
on and watch whatever's on I've never done that I it doesn't if I turn it on
37:20
it's because I'm going to watch something and I already have an idea of
37:24
what I'm going to watch around something specific yeah but so yeah I'm not I'm not not the
37:30
target audience so every time I think that we're nearly getting somewhere good
37:34
we've got to get rid of the whole licensing across regions yeah but I don't know that
37:39
that's feasible at the moment like I said because there's too many different
37:44
laws in different countries and all that crap for now until they're forcing
37:50
people to Pirate is what I think they're not forcing people and I mean because
37:55
you don't need a movie so they're not forcing you that's why that's not a
37:59
great argument like no but no what I'm saying is this they've shown if you make
38:04
things available instantly at a reasonable price yeah people will get it
38:09
people buy it the same thing used to happen with games yeah yeah agree games
38:14
I think of they still need to work on their price but with the availability it's
38:20
it's there like if you especially with steam steam is a very positive example I
38:25
think the Xbox store is not that great and I don't know if that's Microsoft's
38:30
fault but one example I think that's Licensing in Australia yeah one example
38:36
is Diablo II we only have one copy of Diablo I on dis in the house which means
38:41
if we we can't both play it at the same time on different X Xboxes yep so I had
38:46
to look the other day to see how much it was to buy in the store thinking that
38:49
should be pretty cheap now right yep it's still $80 yep and uh I know for a
38:55
fact that I didn't pay $8 for it when I bought the disc in the first place I
39:00
think I paid like 50 so they need to do something with their pricing on there it
39:07
should be cheaper than the disc or if not I I understand it not being cheaper
39:13
which I think it should be but I can understand it not being cheaper but it
39:16
should be more expensive no exactly and I
39:22
guess the problem with that I suppose is that if if you go to EB Games right if
39:26
EB Games Buy has 10,000 copies of Diablo II and they only sell 9,000 and they you
39:33
know they need to make some money back then yeah okay they'll reduce them to
39:36
some stupid price like 40 50 bucks to try and get rid of them and digitally
39:43
that just doesn't happen so maybe that's there's no shipping there's no there's
39:48
no cost with it so it could have been 40 or 50 bucks in the first place it just
39:52
depends on yeah I don't know what the margin on video games is especially not
39:55
in Australia I'm sure there's like I'm sure there's reasons maybe EB Games
40:00
takes a loss on games when they reduce them and and then the other thing is
40:03
that you've got secondhand games at at ebx at EB well actually EB is not
40:07
probably the best site cuz their prices are normally the same as the Xbox Live
40:11
store no but if you go into a store I mean like if I go physically into an EB
40:16
I guarantee you I can get a copy of Diablo 3 for probably I can get it for
40:20
under 50 bucks I guarantee it a secondhand one yes new one maybe not I'm
40:27
I think I think I'm pretty sure the copy that I bought was less than 50
40:33
bucks and it's the one that we have is new we just only have one copy we need
40:37
another one so I don't know it might have been a sale or something like that
40:40
but I remember at the time that I bought it I remember thinking that's pretty
40:45
good and I wouldn't have I wouldn't have thought that to myself had it been more than 50
40:49
bucks so Blizzard's pretty bad like that
40:53
though in general M like they charge I don't know they're still charging like
40:59
50 bucks for Starcraft not that long ago and Diablo 2 they still charged quite a
41:05
lot for Diablo I like 10 years after it came out yeah I remember there's been a
41:10
few times where I've gone hey I'll get that and then gone wow that's expensive
41:14
yeah but I guess people pay it so whatever yeah that's um all right buy new 60
41:21
bucks what's that Diablo 3 EB yep yeah okay yeah see it's a bit
41:28
cheaper and I mean if I new games they are the same price right I haven't
41:33
looked at Dungeon Crawl in a while but I bet it's cheaper on like Dungeon Crawl
41:36
or odd game shop or something as well oh even JB highi or Target oh yeah good
41:41
point the cheapest place to buy games if you're buying a physical copy on day one
41:46
target huh they will beat anyone interesting well there you go so if
41:53
you're listening Major Nelson make them cheaper come on yeah how hard is it uh
41:58
it's the a stray attacks we get it on everything yeah yeah I've heard various
42:04
Arguments for and against it I don't understand why we have to pay so much
42:07
more we get paid more that's true allegedly but you don't have to ship it
42:12
overseas anymore but everything costs more here so just give us free games
42:17
exactly or free barbecue if you've got barbecue H that would be nice yeah I saw
42:23
this article um remember how we're discussing New Year's Eve that people
42:27
out spent that 500 bucks to get it KN out well it seems to have sort of
42:31
happened again interesting people have brought a ticket to go to a barbecue
42:38
right when they get there line up for an hour and a half and then they ran out of
42:42
food what's Sydney Barbecue Festival yes so that was this Saturday just gone so
42:48
this was yesterday yeah okay and they
42:53
sold 5,000 tickets to the event mhm and then
42:58
sort of R out an hour or two into it and it's sort of like you know how many
43:02
tickets you've sold how do you run out of food yeah right bloody hell so
43:07
there's a there's a hate page for it now Sydney Barbecue Festival hate page on
43:12
Facebook yeah they got a bunch of signs up saying sorry we are sold out far out
43:17
o that sign saying sorry we sold out if you actually look at it I think it says
43:21
check us out on Facebook which is probably the stupidest
43:25
thing they could have written on that we're sold out [ __ ] hell 25 bucks it cost to get
43:32
in um the barbecue festival ran out of meat within 2 hours of opening what a
43:36
joke PID 25 bucks to stand in line for an hour to be told to come back in 2
43:41
hours with nothing else to do at the venue no shade and no seating worst
43:45
event I've ever been to what are these events that seem to be popping up now in
43:49
Sydney I like to think the best of people and that this is all just like
43:53
it's incompetence not you know maliciousness cuz it's a scam it's a scam I'm like well
43:59
it's not the best scam in the world cuz it's like you're going to get caught you
44:05
know it's it was in the domain and there were 5,000 people there like it's not
44:12
it's not the best scam so yeah I guess yeah I don't think it's
44:17
a scam I think it's just people who get in over their head how do you run out of
44:21
meat at a barbecue festival cuz that $25 you would know what they get for
44:27
that $25 or is that just entry in I don't know but you would know I have
44:33
5,000 people coming I need at least 10,000
44:37
sausages yeah you think so all right it seems like I'm looking at this now do
44:42
they have to pay for this food as well I don't know it says here the the um in
44:47
response organizers released a statement declaring that the event was delivered
44:50
as advertised and there are no grounds for a refund we appreciate your concerns
44:55
and are sorry that you had a bad experience there were 13 food Traders at
44:58
the event who were all briefed in advanced in advance of expected numbers
45:03
and the food offering although the wait for the food from some Traders was long
45:06
at times there were other food options available throughout the site and a
45:09
range of activities including free demonstrations entertainment and
45:14
exhibitors so blah blah blah unfortunately with barbecue there is a
45:17
change over period with food and in some instances there was a bit of a weight between
45:23
Services couple of hours was a bit more a bit of a weight but I don't think this
45:27
is best response from the organizers yeah I don't know it's s like saying
45:32
we're sorry but we don't really care yeah it's not our problem thanks for
45:38
your money so you had to pay 25 bucks to get in get in and then then buy F buy
45:45
food but there was nothing else there it's pretty weird I don't I guess I just
45:49
don't like barbecue that much was fun this sh like they're also saying like we
45:54
provided seating in a tabled areas there was free water at bars well there are a
45:58
lot of people who don't drink and they wouldn't think I'm going to go to the
46:02
bar to get a free water yeah right yeah interesting Luke let's say
46:09
you wanted to to run a festival mhm in Sydney say for for argument sake CU
46:14
that's where these these have taken place y right while the other brothers
46:18
are doing up CRI crimes now if you were going to run a festival MH and you
46:25
wanted to rip people off what kind of Festival would you hold and how would
46:31
you rip them off well the how that's the easy part
46:36
I'm just trying to work out what type of Festival it' be I like how the how
46:40
doesn't even matter like the type doesn't matter rather well yeah that
46:44
actually you just don't turn up on the day okay you just yeah you just take the
46:51
body and then right just change your name say you wanted to get 5,000 people to this
46:58
Festival of some sort what kind of Festival would you throw well it seems I
47:01
could do for anything like a barbecue W worked um we can't do another barbecue
47:05
one people have been people know people are they're on to that I'm going to
47:10
do some I just think Festival of Lights I don't know why that comes popping into
47:15
