  >> Good evening. Good morning, everyone. Matt scared me this morning and I'm not
• 0:13
  happy about it. >> You want to fight? >> I don't want to fight. I'd never want to
• 0:19
  fight. I'm a violent person. >> Well, you told me. We'll talk about it
• 0:24
  later, I assume. [laughter] But you told me >> you did almost get into a fight. I did
• 0:29
  almost get into a fight. I was at the pub last night
• 0:33
  >> and I was planning to have an early night. Just go there and meet raffle
• 0:36
  leave. But then every time I went to leave, I met new people. They wanted me to stay.
• 0:40
  >> You might have to explain what a meat raffle is to people who aren't Australian. But
• 0:44
  >> what? How a meat raffle is? >> I've never seen one here.
• 0:50
  >> They might happen. I just since I don't eat meat anymore. Ah, well, a meat
• 0:54
  raffle is when you go to your local pub or club and on a sort of a Friday
• 0:58
  afternoon, they'll have a meat raffle. You buy tickets and you can win meat.
• 1:02
  That's pretty much it. I didn't win. And then, yeah, just ended up staying
• 1:07
  around. Then there was this there was people dancing, having fun, and then at
• 1:12
  one point there was this girl walking past me, and this guy was sort of she'd
• 1:16
  been dancing with this guy, but she was trying to leave. And he kept grabbing
• 1:19
  her arm, trying to pull her back to the dance floor. And she's, "No, no, no.
• 1:22
  leave me alone. So I sort of grabbed his arm and went, "What are you doing?" [laughter]
• 1:28
  >> Yeah. And he did give me a very filthy look and then he walked away. And then
• 1:32
  the girl came back later and said, "Thank you very much." So that was me
• 1:35
  nearly getting into a fight. >> A >> saving the day. >> Look at you. You're like a
• 1:42
  >> girl doesn't want to dance with you. You just You don't grab a bite arm and pull
• 1:46
  her back. Do you like a red beardy Batman or uh who's your favorite superhero?
• 1:53
  >> I don't actually have one. I don't think >> you don't like superheroes.
• 1:57
  >> I don't know if I've got a favorite. They're just all the same cuz there's so
• 2:01
  many of them. You can't really >> Well, we've got different superpowers.
• 2:06
  >> There's only one superpower that I would ever want. That's teleportation. And the
• 2:09
  only superheroes that have that are lame. >> Nightcrawler. >> Yeah, >> he's not lame.
• 2:15
  >> He's lame. What are you talking about? What's lame about Nightcrawler?
• 2:18
  >> I don't know. You just I never liked him. >> All right.
• 2:23
  >> But then I told her if she had any more trouble later, she can come up see me
• 2:27
  and I will help her out. >> Oh, look at you. Did you grab her arm and force her to
• 2:32
  dance for you? >> Yes, I [laughter] did. >> No, I would never do that. I would never
• 2:39
  dance. [laughter] Willingly or unwillingly? With >> Luke does not dance.
• 2:46
  >> What are you drinking? >> I'm drinking red cordial because I'm
• 2:49
  very hung over and I just need sugar and liquid. >> I wasn't allowed. >> No more alcohol,
• 2:55
  >> kid. >> Yeah, >> cuz of the red food coloring. Apparently
• 3:00
  makes you crazy. >> I don't think it's made me crazy. >> Yeah,
• 3:04
  >> I just didn't have any. They didn't The shop didn't have any lime. >> A cooler.
• 3:10
  Lime cooler is the best of all >> I don't know we have I don't know we
• 3:13
  have cordial here either. >> Oh really? >> Yeah. >> So for American listeners cordial is
• 3:19
  basically concentrated syrup that you pour water in to make it less
• 3:24
  concentrated and drink it. >> Yeah. Just looked no stupid questions on
• 3:28
  Reddit. Do Americans have cordial/squash? Uh and then the answer appears to be no.
• 3:34
  Never heard of it. Oh. H. >> Well, it's pretty much exactly the same.
• 3:40
  Well, you do sort of have it. You have syrup. You've got like Coke syrup.
• 3:44
  >> Yeah. Yeah. It's like the syrup that you make a fountain drink out of, except you
• 3:47
  just mix water with it. It's not fizzy or anything.
• 3:50
  >> Not fizzy, not anything. And Yeah. You don't need a special machine to
• 3:53
  carbonate it or anything. >> It's make your own sugar water. >> Yes.
• 3:58
  >> Americans would love it. I don't know what why would why do they have it here?
• 4:01
  Makes no sense to me. >> [cough and clears throat]
• 4:12
  >> I losing my voice a little bit because of Yeah, >> because of fighting.
• 4:17
  >> Fighting. Yep. >> Uh, have you been to the movies this week or not?
• 4:21
  >> I didn't get there. I'm going to go tomorrow, Monday. So, then I'll give you
• 4:27
  my review of Scary Movie and He-Man. I
• 4:31
  saw He-Man's got quite a long run time. >> Oh, does it? >> About two and a half hours.
• 4:37
  >> Oh, all right. I saw [clears throat] it's doing all right, but um Scary Movie
• 4:40
  is doing better, which I think is amusing. But >> I mean, Scary Movie
• 4:44
  >> different audience. I don't He-Man >> Scary Movie everyone could go to because
• 4:49
  it's been around forever. He-Man, while it's been around forever, it's not
• 4:52
  really been prominent. >> Yeah. I wondered about He-Man just
• 4:57
  because I mean I know who He-Man is obviously. >> Yeah. Like, but kids probably. Oh, but
• 5:03
  there was that new series, the Kevin Smith. >> Yeah, but I don't even know if that new
• 5:06
  series was directed at kids. >> Yeah, >> I think the nostalgia for people our age
• 5:11
  cuz I never watched it. So, >> yeah. No, I didn't watch it either. [laughter]
• 5:16
  >> I liked He-Man as a kid. I don't >> not particularly interested in He-Man
• 5:19
  now. Although like the movie looks pretty cool. It looks [ __ ]
• 5:22
  >> Yeah. Yeah. We have really come around on how that movie looks from when we
• 5:26
  first saw it. >> Yeah. I think if Jared Leto isn't into it, it's probably good. >> Yeah.
• 5:32
  >> But I still don't get Jared Leto because he doesn't watch his own movies.
• 5:38
  >> I think he's just complaining that he did all this extra stuff that they
• 5:42
  didn't include. >> I I think it's common for actors not to
• 5:45
  want to watch their own movies. I've heard lots of people say that.
• 5:48
  >> Like I don't have that. I mean, not that I'm in a lot of movies, but I'm in I'm
• 5:53
  in things and I don't mind watching it. I don't know. >> Yeah. In fact, I think it's fun.
• 5:58
  >> But then maybe the novelty would wear off if you were in, >> you know, a lot of movies.
• 6:03
  >> Yeah. Because I know a lot of them will go to a premiere and then they'll all
• 6:06
  just walk out. And I can understand you don't want to see it over and over and over. But
• 6:12
  >> at least watch it once, wouldn't you? >> Yeah. See, that'd be weird.
• 6:19
  [cough and clears throat] >> So, how do you know if you
• 6:20
  >> be in a movie and go to premier not watch? But then again, I'm not in any
• 6:22
  I'm not in a big Hollywood movie. So, >> look, if you put me and Matt in a big
• 6:26
  Hollywood movie, we will stay. >> I will watch the movie. I promise you.
• 6:30
  I'll [ __ ] watch it. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, but there just before we started
• 6:36
  recording, I was watching the new Wolverine gameplay.
• 6:40
  >> Yes. What do you think about that? >> That game looks amazing. >> Really? Interesting.
• 6:47
  >> Oh, you didn't think so? >> No, they look kind of boring to me. I
• 6:50
  don't know. I guess I I was looking at it going, I guess I can understand
• 6:55
  people will like this, but it's just really doesn't look like it's for me.
• 6:58
  >> There's a lot of blood. >> Yeah, which is fine.
• 7:02
  >> They're going to get an 18 rating in a sharia. >> But I was
• 7:07
  like, people just like, oh yeah, look, it's Wolverine. There's blood
• 7:10
  everywhere. Yeah. Or is like I don't know. The to me
• 7:14
  I just don't like these kind of games. I guess it just doesn't look very It just
• 7:17
  doesn't look very interesting to me. Well, and here's the weird thing. You're
• 7:22
  going to be the only one that can play it. [clears throat] >> Oh, uh,
• 7:27
  >> coming PlayStation 5 cuz Sony are horrible people.
• 7:31
  >> Is it like fully exclusive or is it >> fully exclusive? >> Oh, wow. So, never Xbox?
• 7:37
  >> Yeah. >> Huh. I didn't know. >> Which is why I was sort of bit upset
• 7:41
  because it's Insomniac and I quite like the games they make.
• 7:45
  >> Oh, that makes sense. Okay. So, it's like the Spider-Man guys. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay.
• 7:52
  >> Which is another game I'd love to have played. >> They're on PC, but they don't have
• 7:56
  achievements, so you won't play them, but you could.
• 7:59
  >> I could, but I won't. It's just not going to happen. >> Um,
• 8:04
  >> which is a shame. >> I have the Spider-Man games. I haven't really played.
• 8:09
  >> Do you have the new one? >> Cuz apparently the new one was really good.
• 8:14
  >> What's the new one? Uh, >> well, what new one I was in a few years ago by these guys?
• 8:18
  >> New Spider-Man game. >> Spider-Man 2. Probably not. Uh, okay.
• 8:24
  No, I have [clears throat] You know what? I don't know. I don't do my
• 8:28
  PlayStation on. [laughter] I think >> you just got it.
• 8:31
  >> I bet you said that I'm the only one who can play it. I can't play it because I I
• 8:35
  need in order to play it, I need to remember that I own a PlayStation. >> Yes. >> Um.
• 8:38
  >> Yep. >> And it's not your go-to. >> No, I've got Spider-Man Remastered. I
• 8:44
  know I have that. I'm pretty sure I have Spider-Man Miles Morales,
• 8:50
  >> but uh I don't think I have Spider-Man 2. I'm sure I do. I wouldn't have bought that.
• 8:55
  >> Yeah. >> The other two I think I got through um sales like >> Yeah. >> at some point.
• 9:02
  >> And you haven't played them either? I've played a little bit of the of the first one
• 9:06
  >> and because because um Yria wanted to see it >> because I don't know it came up somehow
• 9:13
  and that but when I started playing it it's like >> she's used to Spidey and his Amazing
• 9:18
  Friends which is the kids show. >> They all have big heads and it's all
• 9:21
  like very wholesome and like there's no violence.
• 9:25
  >> Yeah. Whereas in at the start of the the Spider-Man game, you're like punching
• 9:29
  Kingpin in the face and stuff like that. And I just remember her being like,
• 9:32
  "What is this?" Like, "This isn't Spider-Man." >> Maybe I showed her this a little bit too
• 9:38
  early. >> Yeah.
• 9:41
  >> Yes. And uh Doc O is a man in the game
• 9:46
  and a woman in the show she watches like as in Okay. like in um Across the
• 9:51
  Spider-Verse where it's >> uh I can't remember her name. It's not
• 9:58
  Otto. It's Anyway, it's Lady Lady Octopus. >> Yeah. So, she was very confused by it all.
• 10:04
  >> Yeah. She was just like, I don't really like this. And I was like, yeah, fair enough.
• 10:08
  >> Yeah. This is not her Spider-Man. >> No, no, it's not cute enough.
• 10:14
  Um they announced some other stuff including um Alien isol Alien Isolation
• 10:20
  2. I can't >> Yes. So I watched the reveal trailer for
• 10:24
  that. That doesn't really show anything. >> No, it on a planet.
• 10:28
  >> It's got some outside stuff which is Yeah. >> different. Um [clears throat] otherwise
• 10:33
  it looks very similar like >> Yes. In a good way like
• 10:36
  >> Yeah. Yeah. which I'm sort of I quite like that it's is and it's been long
• 10:41
  enough since the first one came out that they can do similar and it's not going
• 10:44
  to be oh it's this again >> cuz that game's what 10 years old now and it I mean
• 10:49
  >> it [clears throat] still looks good like >> still looks great and I still love the
• 10:52
  fact it didn't do well at launch >> it was later that people went oh hold on
• 10:58
  this is a good game >> yeah I never finished it I got the
• 11:01
  [ __ ] not even the alien the the androids Yeah.
• 11:07
  >> [ __ ] annoyed me. >> Yeah. I wish you had if you take out the
• 11:10
  androids, I think it would have been a better game, honestly.
• 11:13
  >> Well, it's a stealth game and >> yeah, >> like those bits were just I know we've
• 11:19
  talked about this before. I'm too old. I don't have time for try and retry and
• 11:22
  try and you know, like and it like you kind of have to do that, I think.
• 11:26
  >> Yeah. To work out. Yeah. If I do this, they'll be there and then I'll come out here and
• 11:30
  >> Yeah. It doesn't hold your hand. >> Yeah. Yeah.
• 11:33
  >> In a way that I'm old and I need now cuz I don't have time.
• 11:37
  >> And it's not a case of, "Oh, well, they've caught me. I'll just murder them all."
• 11:42
  >> No, exactly. You can't. >> Yeah.
• 11:47
  >> But we still got a long time to wait for this one, I think, cuz Yeah. This is
• 11:50
  just a reveal trailer and it's just You can wishlist it soon is all they say.
• 11:57
  >> It doesn't even say when, right? >> So, it's definitely not going to be this year.
• 12:03
  No, but that's all right. I don't have time. Anyway, have you played any more
• 12:08
  of First Light? 007 First Light. Um, I was playing a little bit and I'm
• 12:13
  actually starting to get the hang of it a bit a little bit more and then Final
• 12:15
  Fantasy 7 Rebirth came out and then I was playing a little bit of that.
• 12:20
  And then I've been playing a lot of other crappy games just to get achievements.
• 12:24
  >> All right, because I got to I want to play First Light. I just Yeah, I got to
• 12:29
  buy in the cockbox, I guess. And I don't I just don't have a huge amount of time. >> Yep.
• 12:35
  >> And that's a lot of money. >> And it is maybe wait for a sale then
• 12:39
  because it is a lot of >> stealth. >> I know. But it looks good. >> Like I just
• 12:45
  >> I mean Alien Isolation also looks good. >> I've I've done sort of the first mission
• 12:50
  where you sort of you have to get enough money to go into an auction. So, you're
• 12:55
  basically going around trying to do small jobs, trying to work out how to make money to
• 13:00
  >> get $100,000 so you can go into this auction. And yeah,
• 13:04
  >> and he's giving you different ways of doing it. And I've lost a lot of money
• 13:08
  gambling. [laughter] >> I have to Sounds cool.
• 13:13
  >> Maybe use a guide to see how I can win money. >> And to be clear, when I said Alien
• 13:18
  Isolation sound also looks fun, Alien Isolation is fun. Yes, I'm just old and
• 13:23
  hard games are like I can't do it cuz >> Yeah, I'll play >> That's a me problem.
• 13:29
  >> Yeah, this is not as hard as [snorts] >> isolation. >> No.
• 13:33
  >> Yeah. All right. Yeah, I got to check it out. Um
• 13:38
  >> the fighting once you get used to it a little bit more, you got to time your blocks.
• 13:42
  >> Uh oh, that stuff's annoying for me. >> Yeah, >> I'm bad. I'm just I'm bad at it. So,
• 13:47
  another game I'm going to talk about has a similar mechanic for the melee. We can
• 13:52
  talk about it now. Actually, it's in it's right here in the spread in it's
• 13:54
  not spreadsheet anymore. Right here in in Segway Dune Awakening. >> Yes,
• 14:00
  >> I'm still playing it. Not as frequently as I was once, but I am still, you know,
• 14:04
  once or twice a week going doing some missions. >> I'm a little upset that I will be able
• 14:10
  to play with you, but only if you decide to do start fresh.
• 14:16
  Yeah. Well, not only that, the So, it's coming to consoles. >> Yes. >> In uh September.
• 14:21
  >> September. >> Which is uh it's not too far away. Um
• 14:25
  >> it's coming to Game Pass as well. >> And it's also getting some
• 14:31
  nice like at the moment you can only play online. >> Yeah. Uh, and
• 14:36
  whereas when it comes on console, it's going to be more like Conan Exiles where
• 14:40
  you can just play a little single player game on your own system without
• 14:45
  >> having to um be in multiplayer at all. But then also, so they have private servers now
• 14:52
  as well. Um, but I think yeah, in order to play together,
• 14:58
  uh, I I'll have to either get it probably better to get it on Xbox if we're all going to
• 15:03
  >> Yeah, there's there's no crossplay. Well, there's sort of crossplay. If you
• 15:07
  brought the Windows version >> Yeah, that's right.
• 15:11
  >> Through like the Windows [clears throat] marketplace, you could crossplay Xbox.
• 15:14
  >> No, I don't have that version. I have the Steam version.
• 15:16
  >> No, you got the Steam version. H oh well.
• 15:21
  >> But I am looking forward to actually getting my hands on this finally.
• 15:24
  >> But if we play it's so you can have a private server and you can when you have
• 15:29
  a private server you can adjust the settings. So I would probably want to do
• 15:32
  that because you can >> speed things up a little bit.
• 15:37
  >> Exactly. you can speed up crafting rates and like resource gathering rates and
• 15:41
  stuff like that just to make it a little bit less like like cuz I've enjoyed it
• 15:45
  but I'm like I'm not going to want to spend that much time getting back up to
• 15:50
  where I am. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So,
• 15:52
  >> no I I completely understand that. So, you're speeding stuff up. There's
• 15:57
  nothing wrong with that. >> You still get to enjoy the game.
• 16:00
  >> Yeah. And look, it's a good game. It's very like I've had a lot of fun with it.
• 16:04
  And then also too like so the end game part of it like there's a big map of the
• 16:09
  the Haga Basin which is where you do all your missions and stuff to begin with
• 16:13
  but then once you get an ornithopter you can fly out
• 16:17
  >> and do missions in the larger world of of Iraqis and then there's the deep
• 16:23
  desert which is where the big spice ming and uh the the giant sandworms and stuff
• 16:30
  are. And in the in the online version, the the version the the the normal
• 16:34
  version, um when you're online, >> you build a base in the deep desert, you
• 16:38
  go out, you mine spice and stuff, then you've got to bring it back to the Haga
• 16:41
  Basin because everything in the deep desert gets destroyed, you know, every
• 16:45
  so often, like there's like a big a big sandstorm or whatever, your base won't
• 16:49
  be there anymore. So apparently that's not going to be a thing in the >> single player.
• 16:54
  >> That's good cuz that would just be frustrating. That's just making things
• 16:58
  hard for everyone. >> It's more like it's like it's like
• 17:01
  you've got Rust built on top of this other game kind of thing cuz you know in
• 17:07
  Rust like the whole server wipes and you you get at the start of the wipe and you
• 17:11
  build up and you play and then it gets destroyed again. It's kind of a different
• 17:15
  >> way. Okay. [snorts] Yeah. Well, we won't be doing that, >> won't we?
• 17:21
  >> But >> yeah. Oh, well, I'm I'm going to set up a server, so you'll do what I tell you,
• 17:25
  mate. [laughter] Anyway, it's a great game. Uh,
• 17:30
  >> and I've been Yeah, >> hope kind of hoping it's going to be
• 17:35
  like Coden Exiles as well where once we cuz we'll start playing it and
• 17:41
  then we'll stop and then once we stop, I can just use console commands to unlock
• 17:45
  all the achievements. >> Sure. Yeah,
• 17:51
  >> we'll see. I know >> be nice and loud that again.
• 17:54
  >> I put so much time into into it. It's going to be weird like leave the safe.
• 17:59
  But I mean I had fun. So what's what's it matter? [snorts]
• 18:02
  >> And the thing is you're sort of starting to drop off a little bit now. So maybe
• 18:06
  but yeah, we're not going to play together. It's not going to happen.
• 18:09
  >> It feels weird, right? Because >> that >> it feels weird cuz like how many how Let
• 18:15
  me see how much time have I played this game.
• 18:18
  Um, and it like it feels weird because if I stop playing, if I completely stop
• 18:25
  playing, >> Yep. >> my bass and stuff will degrade and disappear. Yes.
• 18:29
  >> Right. So my if I don't play, my stuff >> Yeah. So even if you do sort of want to
• 18:34
  go back, it's you're starting from scratch anyway cuz it's going to be gone.
• 18:39
  >> Yeah. Whereas like if I look at something like Cyberpunk, like I played
• 18:44
  that tons and tons and tons. Although I did finish Cyber Punk. I haven't
• 18:47
  technically finished the main story line in this yet, but like
• 18:51
  >> I'm not going back to play Cyberpunk on that save anyway. Like if I'm going to
• 18:56
  play Cyber Punk, I play from scratch kind of thing. So, I don't know. It just
• 18:59
  it just But it feels different knowing that >> like if my Cyberpunk save was going to
• 19:04
  disappear if I didn't play it every 20 days, I might
• 19:09
  >> feel compelled to go back in there and just like keep it, you know? It's like
• 19:12
  it's interesting >> psychological trick they've done. Yeah.
• 19:17
  >> Let's see. Dune Awakening I have played for 131 hours, [laughter]
• 19:23
  >> which is quite a lot for me. >> That's a lot for you. >> Yeah.
• 19:29
  So, and I play it on GeForce now, which
• 19:34
  means that's active play time because if I go if I stop playing and leave it
• 19:40
  paused, it kicks me out. >> Yep. So
• 19:45
  yeah, see for where's my Skyrim? How much Skyrim have I played? Just for
• 19:51
  comparison. [laughter]
• 19:57
  Oh, we're going to get sued. Uh, Elder Scrolls. Elder Scrolls. The [ __ ] is it
• 20:03
  Skyrim under? Elder Scrolls. Elder Scrolls. Skyrim. Yep.
• 20:08
  >> I have played apparently nothing. It claim it claims I've never played
• 20:14
  this game. [laughter] That is untrue. Wait, >> have you Have you played on the GeForce
• 20:21
  Now, though? >> Oh, my review. You've [ __ ] I've played
• 20:26
  Skyrim for 97.5 hours. Except I have it on the Xbox as well.
• 20:30
  >> Yeah, like you you you've you've played it a few times. Like you're definitely
• 20:34
  over 200 on that. >> Yeah, but I played it on PC first. That
• 20:38
  feels weird that I've played Dune more than I've played Skyrim on here. Anyway, whatever.
• 20:45
  >> That's weird. >> Yeah, I'm excited to be able to play it
• 20:50
  with you briefly before we realize we don't have enough crossover time to ever
• 20:54
  actually play it together and >> together. Yeah. And it'll just us
• 20:57
  logging in every now and again to see what each other has done.
• 21:00
  >> Me, I have my tiny little base that I've done for the tutorial. Now,
• 21:04
  >> you can live in my basement. [laughter] >> Yes. [snorts]
• 21:09
  So, no, that's that. But then because we had what this is all coming out because
• 21:12
  of the PlayStation State of Play, hasn't it? >> Mhm. Yes. >> Which has just happened.
• 21:17
  >> Yes. And there was a few other odds and
• 21:20
  ends um we've got uh let's see,
• 21:26
  Jesus, what else is in here? Okay, so there's a new God of War game um which
• 21:30
  is about uh Loafy. Um >> cool. You won't be able to play that. I
• 21:36
  don't know much about God of War, >> especially the new ones.
• 21:39
  >> It's on PlayStation, so Luke doesn't give a [ __ ] >> No. >> Um, Control 2 coming out.
• 21:46
  >> That's I'm looking forward to see this. I understand why they cuz
• 21:52
  they've recently moved the Fable launch from this year to next year. And you can
• 21:57
  really understand why >> the back end of this year, you got a lot of games coming out.
• 22:02
  >> Yeah. Pretty loaded. >> Yeah. [snorts] But yeah, so in Control, I was reading
• 22:07
  into this, you don't play as her, you play as her brother. >> Okay. >> You actually,
• 22:13
  >> cuz remember in the first one, she's looking for her brother.
• 22:16
  >> Yeah. And he's slight spoilers, he's in Alan Wake 2. >> Mhm.
• 22:22
  >> Briefly, right? >> Briefly. >> Yeah. >> And then this is going to be about him
• 22:26
  searching for her, >> but you're actually going to be playing
• 22:30
  more in the city as well. It's not just going to be in the one building. So,
• 22:34
  that will be interesting to see how that >> plays out. >> All right,
• 22:41
  man. So, I I've never really played much Control. I couldn't get into it.
• 22:46
  >> It's a It's a tough game. You have to commit to it. You can't
• 22:51
  >> put it down and come back later because >> even though it's one building, it's a
• 22:57
  complete maze. And >> yeah, >> if you don't remember what you're doing
• 23:00
  and where to go, it gets frustrating. >> But if you play it
• 23:04
  >> all in one or as much as you can in one sitting, you start to memorize the
• 23:08
  layout a little bit. >> Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if
• 23:14
  like cuz Alan Wake was Alan Wake 2 was so good, >> but like I feel like this is just a
• 23:20
  different type of game, so it's not really >> Well, it's it's definitely going to be
• 23:24
  better than their their last game. That multiplayer one.
• 23:28
  >> That multiplayer one was terrible. >> I don't even remember what it was called
• 23:32
  or anything about it. Yeah. But I remember that it existed.
• 23:35
  >> Yes. I don't Yeah. Don't remember what it's called. I just know I played it and
• 23:39
  did not like it. >> Yeah. I just I know this is not going to
• 23:42
  be like Alan Wake 2, which is a shame just because I love that game, but I
• 23:47
  mean it makes sense. Um >> Yeah. >> I still wonder I haven't heard anything
• 23:52
  on their Max Pain remakes. >> Oh yeah. I don't know.
• 23:58
  >> They sort of Yeah, but there's that. And then there's Until
• 24:04
  Dawn 2, which is a game I would love to play, but it's PlayStation only.
• 24:08
  >> Yeah, that's a theme. Um, >> cuz I like these types of games. The
• 24:12
  sort of they're not really games and such. They're more >> interactive movie.
• 24:17
  >> Yeah. And I actually don't mind that. >> Yeah. I feel like that's one I should
• 24:21
  play to be honest. Um, >> for some reason I always think Until
• 24:26
  Dawn is a science fiction
• 24:30
  game, is it? It's not, is it? No. I don't know why I think that.
• 24:35
  >> Oh, I think it's also monster game, I think. >> Yeah. Oh, Ramy Malik.
• 24:40
  >> Huh? Yeah. I don't know. I should play this. Yeah. I don't know why I think.
• 24:44
  What is the uh It doesn't matter. I thought it was a um
• 24:50
  science fiction game. Doesn't matter. Um, I don't know what I'm thinking of,
• 24:56
  >> but no. Yeah, this will be a this would be a good game if I could play it.
• 25:00
  >> Yeah. All Marathon season two. >> Okay. >> I played that for about 5 minutes and
• 25:07
  could not get into it. >> It's an extraction shooter. I don't care. >> Yeah.
• 25:13
  >> I mean, yeah. I wish >> people seem to be liking it, but they're
• 25:16
  not liking. Evidently, season two did not kick off well.
• 25:19
  >> Oh, really? Why? And they've given sort of an apology gift to people because it
• 25:24
  just went bad for some reason. I don't know what happened, but I know it wasn't good.
• 25:28
  >> Oh, okay. >> Uh, Ace Combat 8. >> I'm looking forward to that. I don't
• 25:35
  mind those games. >> Oh, really? I've never played one of them.
• 25:39
  >> Yeah. No, they're actually quite fun. So, that'll most likely come to Xbox as
• 25:43
  well, so I'll look forward to playing that. >> Very cool. >> Yep. >> Um, let's see.
• 25:49
  Sil a new Silent Hill. >> Mhm. >> Um
• 25:55
  Oh, Nushima Way of the Sword. >> No, that doesn't jump out at me.
• 26:00
  >> Let's see. Some dinosaur [ __ ] Tomb Raider reboot.
• 26:06
  >> That I'm interested in. I don't know what Don't know if it's going to be like what
• 26:12
  we if it's going to be like the old ones that we recently just got or if it's
• 26:16
  going to be trying something new. I'm looking at the video and Yeah. No, it
• 26:21
  looks like just a remake of the game we were playing recently.
• 26:26
  >> So, it's like the original >> No. Yeah, it's like the original outfit
• 26:30
  and stuff and there's dinosaurs and stuff again, but it looks like it's
• 26:33
  going to be the gameplay of >> Right. Right. So, it's Yeah. The the
• 26:37
  first the first first Tomb Raider game remade in the style of the new ones.
• 26:42
  >> Yeah. Yeah, that's what it's looking like. So, I'm all in for that. Yeah. I
• 26:45
  got to I got to finish the last one, the Inca one.
• 26:49
  >> Yeah, cuz I remember the the problem you had is you you played them back to back.
• 26:54
  >> Yeah. Well, I did the same thing each time though, right? I played the first
• 26:57
  one and I loved it and then I started the second one and then I was like, too much.
• 27:01
  >> Yeah. Cuz it's just the same thing. >> Yeah. And then I took a huge break and
• 27:05
  then I went back and I finished it and then and then I started the third one
• 27:09
  >> and then now I've done the same thing. I've taken a huge break. Maybe now is
• 27:13
  >> now's the time. >> Instead of buying First Light, I should just go back in and finish.
• 27:18
  >> It's a good game. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Shadow of
• 27:21
  the Tomb Raider was the last one, right? Third one. Yeah.
• 27:24
  >> Yeah. It's not that I didn't like it. It's just that I was like, man, I've
• 27:26
  been doing a lot of >> Yeah. It's just a lot of the same. This
• 27:31
  mechanics don't really change at all. >> Yeah. >> But that's not to say it's a bad game.
• 27:36
  It's just she can get >> No. And look, she's nice to look at. I'm
• 27:39
  not going to not going to lie. >> Yeah. I think she's from what I just saw
• 27:42
  on the trailer very quickly here. She's still very nice to look at. I think
• 27:45
  she's wearing the shorts now. >> Oh, very good. [laughter]
• 27:49
  I We talked about this. I've the [ __ ] sometimes YouTube shorts,
• 27:55
  right? Or is it YouTube shorts or some I don't know. It'll be like a clip of like
• 28:00
  how to get this um collectible in um Tomb Raider. >> Yeah.
• 28:06
  >> Shadow Shadow of the Tomb Raider or whatever like that. And then it's like
• 28:09
  it looks like it's normal gameplay, but then she runs to the side and they've
• 28:12
  obviously got a mod on cuz she's got these [ __ ] enormous tits. And
• 28:15
  [laughter] I'm like, what is this? Like,
• 28:20
  what is wrong with people? So weird.
• 28:26
  Um, and then the rest >> say something else about Tomb Raider. I
• 28:30
  can't remember. Yeah. Yeah. The rest >> rest are sort of when you go down the
• 28:34
  list. told the Rayman Legends Retold, depending on what >> Oh, yeah. >> one that is.
• 28:41
  >> Rayman Legends. I think that's the one I had on the 3DS.
• 28:46
  Is that the one that's uh got that really cool musical level?
• 28:51
  >> Yeah, I'm hoping it is. I'm not sure, but I really hope that musical
• 28:56
  >> that level was [ __ ] ridiculous. >> That was awesome. Was it Black Betty?
• 29:00
  >> Well, yeah, exactly. Yeah, all the goblins or whatever singing Black Betty.
• 29:04
  That was [ __ ] amazing. >> Yeah. If it's that, I'm all in. If it's not, I'm out.
• 29:09
  >> Yeah, that was good [ __ ] >> Yeah. And then the rest are sort of eh. But
• 29:15
  next week we'll be talking about the Xbox Sunday game. >> Right. Right.
• 29:22
  >> Cuz that's on this Sunday. [snorts] >> Oh, cool. All right. Tomorrow.
• 29:27
  >> Yep. >> Very cool. Um Oh, yes. And sorry, there
• 29:32
  is another Tomb Raider game. That's what I was going to say when I got distracted
• 29:34
  by the tit story. Um, there is a it's not part of this news, right? But they
• 29:41
  mentioned it here, which is why Yeah. Sorry. Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis. Sounds good.
• 29:45
  >> Yep. >> I love Atlantis. >> Hopefully, it's got Graham Hanok in it.
• 29:50
  >> Hopefully, we'll see. >> I would love that. Unironically, I would
• 29:54
  love that if this game if they [ __ ] got Graham Hanok to be to be in the game
• 29:59
  and to like voice himself. I would love >> I highly doubt it, but it would be very
• 30:04
  >> I also doubt it, but I think that would be very very cool.
• 30:07
  >> We don't have long to wait. It's got a February release, so it's another one of
• 30:11
  these games that's sort of trying to steer clear of Grand Theft Auto 6.
• 30:16
  >> Yeah. Well, I'm also trying to steer clear of that. >> I just don't care.
• 30:22
  >> There's going to be a lot of people who are going to be playing it.
• 30:25
  >> Oh, I know. I know. It's Yeah, it's going to be a It's
• 30:30
  probably going to be big game game of the year straight away.
• 30:34
  There's no competing against it. >> Play it first, guys. Come on. I mean, it
• 30:38
  could be [ __ ] >> It could be, but I guarantee you it's
• 30:41
  everyone's everyone knows it's going to outsell anything else that comes out that month.
• 30:46
  >> I don't question that. I just Yeah. Yeah. >> I mean, I'm sure.
• 30:50
  >> Where are other Game Awards? Because I guarantee you it's going to win.
• 30:57
  Well, it's 2026. >> December 10th. >> Okay.
• 31:02
  >> So, be able to play it for a month. >> Didn't we all think Starfield was going
• 31:06
  to win until we played it? >> Yes. >> I think I think Todd Howard certainly
• 31:11
  thought it was. >> Yeah. >> I haven't gone back and played it since
• 31:15
  the updates and the DLC and stuff, but >> I never finished it and played in
• 31:21
  [ __ ] ages. It like not it was bad or anything. It just wasn't good enough. Like
• 31:25
  >> there wasn't >> enough to sort of do like with Skyrim
• 31:29
  that and Fallout and all of those >> you walk when you're walking along
• 31:34
  exploring you always there's oh there's this oh go there or go there there's
• 31:38
  something always happening >> but because of this it's just you're
• 31:41
  landing on a planet and it's procedurally generated. There's not
• 31:44
  really much to do and it's you do come across something it's the same thing over and over.
• 31:50
  >> Yeah. Most of the planet is just nothing. >> Yeah. Like it reminds me of Mass Effect
• 31:55
  one with the Mako which I know you like. >> I love that Mo.
• 31:59
  >> But that Mako made playing on hard very easy for some stuff,
• 32:05
  >> right? >> Could you just roll up, shoot them, back up that I can't shoot you back, go
• 32:10
  forward, shoot them. I want I want the achievement for playing it through hard.
• 32:15
  >> It's not cheating if the game lets you do it. >> Exactly. >> With Luke's motto. >> Mhm.
• 32:21
  >> Yeah. What have you been playing? You play anything? You play obscure games?
• 32:26
  >> I've been playing a lot of not interesting. I've just really been
• 32:30
  playing games to get achievements like Colorful Boy 2 and >> Colorful Boy 2
• 32:36
  >> to Anubis Dungeon. There's a new [clears throat]
• 32:42
  >> The [ __ ] is Colorful Boy 2? >> It's just a little jumping game, but the
• 32:48
  2D platformer. >> Yeah, I see it. All right. Um, there's a
• 32:52
  new genre of game that's come out that's very easy to get achievements on [laughter]
• 32:57
  >> going. >> And it's basically spot the difference games. [laughter]
• 33:03
  >> And yeah, >> to get the achievement on this game,
• 33:06
  you're meant to spot the difference. But because it's made for children, there's
• 33:10
  a button you can push that will skip the level >> and you just get the achievement
• 33:15
  >> and you get the achievement. So, I'm just getting that skipping it. Yeah.
• 33:20
  >> So you I mean I could if I slapped one of these together make some money.
• 33:27
  >> Yes. >> Yes. >> I'd hate that though. What What's this game called?
• 33:32
  >> Uh that was the last one I played was Shop and Spot Avenue.
• 33:37
  >> Shop and Spot Avenue. >> Yep.
• 33:43
  >> Shop and Spot Avenue. Oh, this looks like AI generated slop.
• 33:48
  It is. Look at this. Jesus Christ. >> And I'm gonna play through it three
• 33:52
  times. >> Yeah. Oh my god. And there's a new one
• 33:58
  coming out, Summer Seaside Search. That's coming out in June. I'll be
• 34:02
  playing that as well. Three times.
• 34:07
  >> Absurd. I need the achievements. >> Yeah.
• 34:12
  >> Oh man. This is all AI generated images. They just said, "Okay, now generate the
• 34:17
  same image and make five differences." And they just slapped it together. Like
• 34:22
  >> I wish I wasn't so [ __ ]
• 34:26
  >> If only I had less morals, [laughter] >> I could be taking advantage of people
• 34:31
  like you. >> I'm going to make five million by >> How much did you pay for that game?
• 34:38
  >> $5.
• 34:41
  So I'll get $15 out of me.
• 34:46
  Yeah. All right. All right. [clears throat and cough]
• 34:50
  I mean, honestly, that $5 that you've made your budget back. I don't think it
• 34:54
  cost very much to make that game. [snorts] >> Well, there's also the thing. It's I
• 34:59
  don't know if they actually sell that well either >> because it's a [ __ ] Unity. I
• 35:04
  guarantee it's made in Unity. They bought a [ __ ] template. Or not even
• 35:07
  bought. They just went to bought a got a [ __ ] game template, slapped their own
• 35:11
  art in. Whatever. I'm unreasonably annoyed about this [laughter]
• 35:17
  >> because on the >> because because I could do it but I
• 35:20
  won't. That's what annoys me about it. >> On the true Achievements uh site only 60
• 35:26
  people have completed the game. >> Well, that's good. >> The Windows version at least
• 35:32
  >> calc 60 times five 300 bucks and they wouldn't have got all of that. So, all
• 35:39
  right, good. >> And then 60 on the Xbox One version.
• 35:45
  and then 66 on the Series X version. So,
• 35:49
  >> so 186 total, I think, times five, >> it's like a,000 bucks. $930.
• 35:55
  >> It only came out a few days ago. >> Ah, all right. Fine. Anyway, whatever.
• 36:01
  It's easy money. >> Easy money. >> I'm saying that now. And the person who
• 36:07
  made that game is listening and they're like they're like [laughter] it's all
• 36:10
  they literally handdrew all this artwork and it's like labor of love and they're
• 36:14
  just like devastated that I'm [ __ ] on it. >> Johnny Lobster Interactive is the name
• 36:21
  of the publisher and developer. >> Johnny Lobster. >> Jolly Lobster.
• 36:25
  >> Jolly Lobster. Jolly Lobster
• 36:28
  Interactive. Where are you based?
• 36:32
  Full list of Xbox games published by Come on. [laughter]
• 36:39
  [gasps] >> They've released quite a few. >> Yeah. What are these [ __ ] games?
• 36:43
  Marshmallow Marvin. >> Finished all of them.
• 36:48
  >> Okay. Ah, man. See, I It's hard to tell, right? Here we go. Jolly Lobster Interactive.
• 36:55
  >> Who are you, Jolly Lobster? [laughter] Like
• 37:01
  I don't know, maybe this person really just does want to make good games. I
• 37:06
  don't know. And they found a games that work for them.
• 37:12
  >> Yeah, it's tough out there, I suppose. >> Yeah. And like look, so here's a game
• 37:17
  that came out a little while ago, Curious Copycats, which is one of the
• 37:22
  matching games. Like what's Spot the difference? >> Sure. Um, >> again
• 37:28
  >> on the Series X version that sold at least 656 copies.
• 37:34
  >> Again, no human drew this artwork. This is
• 37:40
  >> 500. >> This is just AI generated art. I mean, I think
• 37:47
  >> I think could be wrong. They're making money
• 37:53
  and I can get all the achievements in five minutes.
• 37:57
  >> I could be wrong about that. Maybe I'm being overly judgmental. Anyway, [snorts]
• 38:02
  [sighs] >> that's what I've been playing. >> Fun. >> Don't judge me.
• 38:08
  >> I can see why you like GTA 6. [laughter] >> I could probably load my Xbox up now and
• 38:14
  get all the achievements in one of those games while talking to you and you
• 38:17
  wouldn't even notice. I would because your Xbox you go because you
• 38:21
  >> Yeah, apart from turning it on. >> You always do that. All right,
• 38:26
  >> we've got some followup. >> Do you know why this is followup?
• 38:31
  >> I don't know if you've seen this up here. We were talking about how we were
• 38:36
  excited that a certain filmmaker was going to come back to do a sequel to
• 38:41
  House of the Dead, >> but apparently he's already back >> because >> what?
• 38:46
  >> Despite the fact that he had Uber Bowl had this [ __ ] rant a few years ago
• 38:53
  >> uh and quit, he's back and he's got a new movie out. It's called Citizen Vigilante.
• 38:59
  And I mean, I'm going to I want to watch this, but uh it it was originally called
• 39:05
  The Dark Knight. >> Mhm. >> Uh the Warner Brothers [laughter] sent him a letter and said,
• 39:11
  >> "No, it isn't." >> No, it's not. >> You sure about that?
• 39:15
  >> So, he [laughter] changed it to the Citizen Vigilante. Uh, and it's it stars
• 39:20
  Army Hammer, who uh, you may recall was accused of cannibalism at one point and
• 39:26
  kind [laughter] of got cancelled for being I don't want to get sued, but
• 39:31
  wasn't there like um, wasn't he accused of being an abusive or something like
• 39:36
  Hang on. Army Hammer allegations. What? Sexual assault allegations. I'm
• 39:42
  not saying he did anything. I'm just saying he was accused of doing stuff.
• 39:44
  That's all I'm That's all I'm saying. >> Yep. Accused. Not us.
• 39:47
  >> I don't know what he say anything. >> Right. So, he disappeared for a long time.
• 39:51
  >> So, anyway, he's in this uh he's the star of this and
• 39:56
  >> I mean this trailer looks it looks ubery. Let's say
• 40:02
  >> I think he needs to go back to computer games.
• 40:08
  >> That's that's what he's good at or bad and good at.
• 40:13
  this trailer right looks like half competent.
• 40:19
  >> I don't mean and I love Bol just because I think he's really interesting but and
• 40:25
  I just think he definitely thinks this
• 40:30
  is a good movie. >> Yes. And but when I like I said, you watch
• 40:35
  the trailer and it's just so like janky and you can just tell it's like I don't
• 40:41
  know. He's just not he doesn't quite get it. You know what I mean?
• 40:45
  >> Even with his rant, he was talking about his movies like should be
• 40:50
  >> at the cinemas alongside >> like his movie Spider-Man like
• 40:56
  >> Yeah. his movie Ashwitz comparing it to Schindler's List and he's just like
• 41:00
  Yeah. Yeah, he's he's a funny guy. Like >> I mean cuz I think he's serious. I don't
• 41:05
  think he's like >> being silly. I think he he's genuine. I
• 41:09
  like this doesn't look bad, but >> the trailer is just like you can just
• 41:15
  tell it's like >> it's not it's not there. You know what I mean?
• 41:19
  >> You can see why it's a straight to streaming. >> Yeah. Um so anyway, I'd like to watch
• 41:25
  this just to see what he's up to. >> Uh and like I said, I do like him. I
• 41:29
  just think he's very I think he's so interesting. I don't understand his
• 41:34
  choices sometimes, but you know, I just I like the world with him in it. >> Yes.
• 41:40
  >> You know, >> like he just amuses me. >> Well, with the fact that he's made this,
• 41:47
  there's more of a it's more likely that we're going to get that sequel to House
• 41:52
  of the Dead. >> I wonder how how do you get the money to do this? So, because
• 41:58
  the the reason he used to be able to do the reason he's famous is because he
• 42:03
  there was a tax loophole in Germany where he he could just pay people a [ __ ]
• 42:09
  ton of money because he get these investors in Germany and it was just
• 42:12
  massive tax write off for them. Yeah. >> So, invest in a film. That's my
• 42:15
  understanding. I'm not a lawyer or a accountant or anything like that. That's
• 42:18
  my understanding. So, the reason he was able to get all these big names like
• 42:22
  when he did the Dungeon Siege movie, he had like Jason Staithm and Cla Fani and
• 42:27
  [ __ ] just uh Ray Leotaa and like just all you you
• 42:32
  go, "Oh, this has actual actors in it." Like, >> yes. You got real It's not just a
• 42:38
  getting anyone off the street. He's getting names. >> Yeah. And like Alone in the Duck had
• 42:41
  Christian Slater in it and uh and Yeah.
• 42:44
  So, so there was a reason he was getting notices because he had
• 42:50
  these bign name actor Ron Pearlman was instame actors because he could give them a lot
• 42:55
  of money. >> Uh, and then he would make this movie
• 42:58
  and then everyone would be like the [ __ ] is this [ __ ]
• 43:00
  >> Um, but but it went on for a long time. But I think they fixed that. Like they
• 43:05
  didn't fix that. I think Germany got rid of that. And so, uh, yeah. So, I just
• 43:10
  wonder how he's managing to pull this off now. [laughter]
• 43:15
  >> Yeah. Well, he's got to have someone investing >> because
• 43:20
  they know who he is. >> Yes. >> Surely, right? And they know this is like a
• 43:26
  >> still got that name behind him. >> Yeah.
• 43:30
  >> But I don't know. Look, I'm just Please make House of the Dead.
• 43:36
  >> Yes. Here's another one. >> I guess the the kindest thing I can say
• 43:39
  about Citizen of Vigilante is based on the trailer, it looks fine.
• 43:42
  >> Fine. Yep. I skimmed it. It's not a movie for me. >> No,
• 43:47
  >> it looks like just one of these guy just has to run around and shoot at people to
• 43:53
  try and save something for some reason. >> It follows a man called Sanders, a
• 43:57
  wealthy American businessman living living in Zagreb. Zagreb who I can't I
• 44:01
  don't know how to pronounce that city. Zagreb I think is right. who has
• 44:03
  inherited a massive real estate empire. Intelligent, isolated, and emotionally
• 44:07
  scarred, he transforms into a feared underground vigilante. Targets violent
• 44:12
  criminals, rapists, and corrupt judges who escape meaningful punishment through
• 44:14
  the legal system. He's Batman. >> Yeah. >> But with a gun.
• 44:20
  >> But I emotionally scarred. Like, yeah, he is just Batman, but it
• 44:27
  just sort of seems weird. I've just inherited all this money and now I'm
• 44:30
  just going to go and fight violent criminals for some reason. >> That's Batman.
• 44:35
  >> Yeah. >> In a city has >> And that's why it was called The Dark
• 44:40
  Knight until they said, "No, it's not." [laughter] >> Yeah.
• 44:46
  >> Yeah. I I I'm going to be skipping this one. >> Yeah.
• 44:52
  Oh, yeah. In the comments. So, he's the Punisher without the tragic backstory.
• 44:55
  And then someone else says, "Or Batman without the costume." [laughter]
• 45:00
  >> Mhm. >> Anyway, >> Citizen Vigilante. And then hopefully, >> although
• 45:07
  >> everybody go out, everybody go out and watch Citizen Vigilante so that he gets
• 45:10
  to make House of the Dead 28, >> no 28 years later, Castle, 27 years
• 45:16
  later, Castle, whatever the [ __ ] his stupid name he's come up with. [laughter]
• 45:20
  I was actually just about to say that. Like, let's let's actually watch this
• 45:24
  >> because that's insane. It's clearly a ripoff of 28 years later, but like
• 45:29
  >> I don't know if he realizes how nuts it sounds or if he's sincere. You know what
• 45:35
  I mean? >> I think he knows what he's doing there. >> I can't tell with him.
• 45:38
  >> I just can't tell.
• 45:44
  >> When he remember when he beat the [ __ ] out of Lotex and like all those film
• 45:47
  critics, like he literally challenged them to a fight and they thought it was
• 45:51
  a joke and it wasn't a joke. >> No, [laughter] he wouldn't dare to shoot them.
• 45:56
  >> Punched the [ __ ] out of them in a in a boxing ring. He said, "I he
• 46:00
  said, "You hate my movies? Step into a boxing ring and say it to my face."
• 46:04
  [laughter] And then he organized this whole big stunt and they all thought
• 46:07
  this will just be a fun joke and he beat the [ __ ] out of them.
• 46:13
  >> Yeah, cuz it wasn't a joke to him. That was >> That's what I mean. I just don't I I
• 46:18
  just like I'm just happy that he's around, you know? He amuses me endlessly.
• 46:26
  >> All right, so what else do we have? Oh, we've got the Lego the Lego drama.
• 46:32
  >> This thing this [ __ ] confuses me. And this article, I got to say this is a
• 46:35
  terrible article, but I tried to get through it. This is on uh Tech Dirt
• 46:40
  because I was like, "Oh, Tech I, for some reason, I was like, "Oh, that's a
• 46:42
  good website." This article is very confusing. Um,
• 46:46
  >> oh my god, this article goes forever. >> Yeah, and I understand because it's this
• 46:50
  is a convoluted, complicated situation. >> It's all It's really weird cuz I've been
• 46:57
  following it a little bit and >> Yeah. And I agree with what cuz lawyers
• 47:03
  are now starting to do reviews on saying everyone should have just engaged in a
• 47:07
  lawyer at the very start of this and we would not be here.
• 47:10
  >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, the pro my problem with this article is this that it it
• 47:13
  like it it tries to squeeze it's it's such a long complicated thing and then
• 47:17
  it just starts mentioning people by surname without having ever mentioned
• 47:20
  who they are before. And I just had to go back and forth to to pass this all
• 47:24
  out, but basically what's happened is and if you haven't heard about this,
• 47:26
  there's basically a a Lego uh issue happening at the moment on the internet.
• 47:33
  And it's because, and you could correct me if I'm wrong, I'll do a quick summary. Right.
• 47:38
  There's an elderly man >> somewhere in the world, somewhere in the
• 47:41
  US, who in the '9s realized Star Wars Lego was probably going to be valuable,
• 47:48
  so he started buying it all every time. >> And I I actually hate him for that
• 47:52
  because he took it away from people who wanted to build it.
• 47:55
  >> Yeah. So, he would buy Star Wars Lego to put away because he was going to use it
• 48:00
  to pay for his kids' college in the future. He was going to sell it and use
• 48:03
  the money to pay for his kids' college. That's my understanding of it. And then
• 48:08
  he's in his what 80s now? >> 80s 83 I think. >> And he
• 48:14
  I think up to 10 years ago. >> Yeah. But like a while ago, like 10
• 48:19
  years ago maybe he went to this place, but you may have seen them around if
• 48:23
  you're in the US. There's one in here in in Rhode Island. It's called Bricks and
• 48:27
  Miniigs, and it's a Lego reseller basically, right?
• 48:32
  >> They sell like all the kits secondhand, and I think new as well, right? It's a
• 48:36
  Lego store. >> Yeah. >> Third party Lego store.
• 48:39
  >> He went to them and for many years now they've been selling them on consignment
• 48:45
  for him. >> Yes. >> So they put them in the store. >> It's slightly different to how they
• 48:49
  normally work. Normally they would buy the Lego off you. >> Right.
• 48:53
  >> And then it's theirs. But this one they've done on consignment. And the
• 48:57
  deal was done with his son because his son wants to pay his medical costs with it.
• 49:01
  >> Right. Right. >> So on consignment the deal was they
• 49:04
  would sell it. They would give him 65% and then they would keep the rest.
• 49:09
  >> Wow. It's a good deal for them. >> Yeah. >> Seems to me. I don't know how
• 49:12
  consignment normally works, but I mean, I know how it works, but but like I
• 49:16
  don't know how much money they usually get. Yeah. So, basically, they put it in
• 49:19
  the store, they advertise, they sell, >> and they take cut of the profit. >> Yep.
• 49:25
  >> Uh, so that's been going on for a long
• 49:27
  time now. But then in uh in was it
• 49:33
  Trump's second election? Uh Trump got elected the second time and apparently
• 49:38
  the the owner of the store is married to
• 49:43
  a guy who publishes some Antifa related. >> Oh, I didn't know that.
• 49:49
  >> Right. So yeah. So that's what I'm saying. This whole story is so [ __ ] convoluted. So
• 49:54
  >> So this is a franchise, right? This bricks and mini figs is a franchise. the
• 49:58
  the the lady who owns it or owned it, her husband was involved in something
• 50:04
  that was a problem for the given the fact that that that Trump was a
• 50:08
  president and they Antifa was, you know, like a terrorist organization, blah blah
• 50:13
  blah. They got worried and they were like, "We need to leave the country." >> Yeah.
• 50:16
  >> And so she said to Bricks and Minifigs, I'm giving up. I'm selling the
• 50:22
  franchise. >> Yeah. >> And uh because of this. And that they
• 50:26
  said I guess freaked out and they said well no we're taking it off you.
• 50:32
  >> Yes. And they did it sort of immediately like >> and they sent people out and said it's
• 50:37
  their franchise now. >> Yeah. >> And the short version is that now there
• 50:43
  they've said well we don't know what we know anything about this arrangement
• 50:46
  with this guy. That's our Lego. >> Yep. >> The Star Wars Lego. Even though they
• 50:50
  were told there's video of them being told when she was getting kicked out
• 50:53
  like hold on there's a list of this is this guy's Lego and
• 50:57
  >> yeah that's and the problem with all of this is that like [laughter]
• 51:02
  [cough] [ __ ] filming things recording conversations doing all stuff nobody has
• 51:07
  ever talked to a lawyer. >> No. And then >> so so there's been this big dispute
• 51:13
  going on between them and they've been
• 51:17
  recording things and then this YouTuber >> uh [ __ ] what's his name?
• 51:22
  >> Reckless Ben. Reckless Ben has involved himself and he's been doing stunts like
• 51:27
  yes going to the bricks and minifigs office and demanding to speak to the CEO
• 51:31
  and like getting arrested in the lobby of the office and
• 51:36
  >> driving around to their house giving out their home addresses on on um live
• 51:41
  streams and then people have been harassing them all this kind of stuff
• 51:43
  and he's been arrested a bunch of times >> for that and then bricks and mini figs
• 51:48
  sent a cease and desist to Patreon to try and get [gasps] reckless. Love the
• 51:53
  response that Patreon gave. >> Yeah. So, Jack Gy from Patreon did a
• 51:56
  video where he said, "Yeah, look, we're very concerned about this and we just
• 52:00
  want to say, "Fuck you. We're not taking his page down." [laughter] >> Yes.
• 52:05
  >> Yeah. So, >> see, the problem is is Yeah. Everyone >> convoluted
• 52:12
  >> handled this wrong. And now like even Rick Spenn is going like there's a
• 52:15
  conspiracy because [snorts] the people who took over the ownership are Mormon
• 52:19
  and the police are Mormon. So it's a whole conspiracy with them. >> Oh, cuz it's in Ohio.
• 52:24
  >> Yeah. So they're all like it's a whole conspiracy why they doing Sorry. Utah.
• 52:28
  >> Utah. Yeah. >> Is it in Utah? >> Utah. >> Yeah, it is.
• 52:32
  >> Whole conspiracy with that. Um. >> Huh. >> And then the problem is
• 52:39
  >> cuz no one's because they've gone about it this way with the video and the doing
• 52:43
  all these stunts and everything without talking to lawyers. [laughter]
• 52:47
  Yes. And the fact that like the people who bought it, everyone's pointing the
• 52:51
  fingers at everyone else. >> Yeah. >> They're saying like, "No, the original
• 52:56
  owner sold it and kept the money." >> Um or she kept some of the Legos and she
• 53:01
  did have some of the Legos at her house. >> Oh, really?
• 53:05
  >> And that she brought them back. I think it was because they've been breaking so
• 53:08
  she was trying or there was just too much >> again. It's so complicated. Like what?
• 53:14
  >> But she's returned them. Um they've reckless been trying to serve them
• 53:19
  papers to go to court and the police just kept rocking up and
• 53:26
  now Bricks and Minigs have now taken franchise off those two owners. >> Oh, the new guys.
• 53:32
  >> Yeah. Okay. >> Because they're going like, "You've
• 53:37
  handed this horribly and it's starting to give us a really bad name."
• 53:41
  >> Yeah, man. And it's affecting other franchises who have nothing to do with
• 53:45
  it because it is a franchise. >> Cuz I Googled it and I was like, "What
• 53:49
  is this place?" And I was like, "Oh, there's one in Warwick." Like,
• 53:51
  >> and I'm like, "I wonder if people are mad at them."
• 53:54
  >> Yep. But people are starting to write terrible reviews. It's starting to
• 53:57
  affect the other franchises. So, I think they've closed down that bricks and
• 54:03
  minifigs for the time being. >> Far out, man. So convoluted. But then there's other
• 54:10
  things like reckless band and this is where he's sort of going like it's a
• 54:13
  whole conspiracy like he got pulled over and was told oh we were told you had
• 54:18
  heroin in the car. Yeah, I heard I saw that >> and then did a big search and everything
• 54:23
  and >> it seems like the police have been following him around which is
• 54:26
  >> yeah is unusual like it's >> and there was also
• 54:31
  >> I don't know if you saw this there was they were all arrested at their Airbnb
• 54:35
  >> because allegedly the owner or something heard something they were talking about
• 54:40
  stolen Legos. >> So they got a warrant and went in with guns out
• 54:47
  >> in case they throw Lego at them or something >> and their reason was to arrest them for
• 54:53
  stalking charges and to look for stolen Lego. >> They're not doing that type of thing
• 54:58
  with a normal stalker. >> Yeah. >> Like it's they the way the cops have
• 55:04
  seem to be reacting seems to be over the top with what they would normally be doing.
• 55:08
  >> It see but then like devil's advocate he is out there wasting their time a lot at
• 55:13
  the moment. >> Yes. But then at the other side of it is
• 55:17
  all they the cop was go look I'll take the papers and I'll serve him
• 55:21
  >> and he went no I don't want them and he went no he doesn't want them and it's
• 55:25
  like he could have just gone you're served and that's it pro that whole thing 3 seconds
• 55:30
  >> over >> and would have shut that down
• 55:36
  >> so it's still going but I think everyone's got to the point where like
• 55:41
  yeah people just should have engaged lawyers at the very start.
• 55:45
  >> Yeah. Yeah. Because now, like I said, it's just such a me and like this, like
• 55:49
  I didn't even know that bit about, you know, she'd taken bits of the Lego home
• 55:52
  because there were breakins. It's like there's so many things in it where it's just like
• 55:56
  >> [ __ ] hell, man. >> It's just so complicated now
• 56:00
  >> because people have just been doing all this weird [ __ ] >> Yeah.
• 56:03
  And because the internet's now involved, they're going out and they're review
• 56:07
  bombing all these other sites and calling other stores that have nothing
• 56:13
  to do with it. You got So, it's actually affecting other people's livelihoods for
• 56:18
  no reason. >> And it's like the Lego is worth a couple
• 56:21
  hundred grand. It's not like millions of dollars or anything.
• 56:25
  >> No. So, I mean, not that like not that a couple hundred grand is nothing, but it
• 56:30
  does seem silly for all this drama. Like, >> and I was watching um Legal Mindset is
• 56:35
  one of the lawyers I watch every now and again, and he's basically saying, look,
• 56:38
  there would have been plenty of lawyers around that would have taken this on
• 56:41
  free at the start, go and will will agree on a percentage that I get once
• 56:46
  everything's sorted. >> Is it legal mindset the guy who you
• 56:51
  know, we don't have to I should double check before I say this. >> [sighs]
• 56:56
  >> I'm not aware of him doing anything. >> Oh, I'll uh I'll send you something if
• 57:01
  this is the right person. [laughter] >> Well, he's still on YouTube, so
• 57:06
  >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's nothing that he did that was like
• 57:09
  illegal. It's okay. I I'll uh >> Okay, >> I I'll follow up. We'll follow up on that.
• 57:14
  >> I'll go with Legal Eagle then. I watched him >> Legal Eagle. As far as I'm aware, Legal
• 57:18
  Eagle is is above board. [laughter]
• 57:22
  But it's just been a in crazy thing
• 57:28
  and yeah, I just could have been sorted out so easily.
• 57:35
  Yeah. Yeah, it is the same. It is the person. All right, I'm going to send you
• 57:39
  this anyway later. I'll send it later. >> Okay. [laughter]
• 57:43
  >> I'm interested to see. >> Uh yeah. So anyway, stay tuned for Lego
• 57:50
  more Lego. It just I remember seeing stuff about it
• 57:55
  a few weeks ago and then it's just been growing and growing and growing to this.
• 58:01
  >> Yes. >> All the time >> and like I said, I tried to find an
• 58:04
  article that summarized it. I mean, this article tries, but like
• 58:07
  >> it's [snorts] it even loses the plot inside of itself. So, I'll link to it
• 58:13
  because it's got the good thing about this article is it's got a lot of the
• 58:15
  videos embedded in it so [clears throat] you can you can follow along. But it's just like
• 58:20
  >> I I think they tried to put far too much in here. [laughter]
• 58:24
  >> They they needed to summarize this. >> Yeah. Well, it's I think they did.
• 58:28
  That's why I think I think they've written this and then they've tried to
• 58:31
  like strip it down. But then there's bits where like in there's a paragraph
• 58:34
  down here where they start talking about um they they okay so it says here in
• 58:39
  November 2024 as you may have heard Donald Trump was elected Crystal's
• 58:44
  partner Ben Gman and I was reading this I was like who the [ __ ] is Crystal? So I
• 58:47
  did a search copy paste Crystal. That is the first time that name comes up.
• 58:52
  >> She's the owner. [laughter] I had to like figure that out because like I
• 58:57
  said, I think they must have at some point earlier in the article explained
• 59:01
  that and then like get rid of this, get rid of this, get rid of this. Like too
• 59:05
  much information. But then they've lost the bit where they said who the [ __ ]
• 59:08
  Crystal was. >> So anyway, yeah. >> Complicated.
• 59:14
  >> It's very complicated for >> for something so stupid. >> Yes.
• 59:18
  >> And I just feel bad for this old man. Like just give him his money. Give me
• 59:22
  his money or his Lego back. >> Yeah. Well, he doesn't want the Lego. He
• 59:26
  wants the money. That's the whole He bought the Lego. He wanted the money.
• 59:28
  Give him the money. >> There's also there's allegations that
• 59:30
  Yeah. that it's not worth that much money. That's just a figure that they've >> Oh.
• 59:36
  >> said. >> Well, it's worth what anyone will pay for it, I guess. >> Yeah.
• 59:39
  >> That's what my dad always used to say. >> Like, but there's some I've got I'm It's
• 59:44
  crazy. Like, there's an incredible rare cloud city set that's worth more than
• 59:48
  $10,000. Who's paying $10,000 for Lego? You would if you had the money.
• 59:53
  >> Yeah, but I'd build it. It would be worthless. >> That's [laughter] Sorry, I didn't I
• 59:58
  didn't specify what you were going to do with it. I just said you'd buy it.
• 1:00:01
  >> No, I I'm still I'm upset with this man that this man went in just had them
• 1:00:06
  sitting there for years when I could have been building them. >> It's an investment.
• 1:00:11
  >> It shouldn't be. They're children's toys. It's like Pokémon cards.
• 1:00:16
  >> I found out I've got a delayed birthday present on the way. Ooh.
• 1:00:20
  >> Hopefully it's going to happen because I think it's sold out so I don't know. But
• 1:00:24
  it's Lego and it's >> Is it a rare Cloud City set? >> No, no, no. It is space. It's from a
• 1:00:30
  recent movie. Is the Hail Mary. >> Ooh. >> And I really want that, but I think I
• 1:00:36
  don't know. I don't know if it's going to happen because I got given uh a
• 1:00:41
  placeholder cuz apparently they're waiting for more of them, but I don't
• 1:00:44
