Transcript
- 0:00it's the new year and Luke is going to start off by following through on
- 0:04something well Matt play the jingle Luke follows through
- 0:09on welcome to multiple
- 0:13nerdgasm with your hosts Matt it's all a bit hearty so I don't really understand
- 0:19it Luke is that a little s penis damn I accidentally got soap in my urethra
- 0:26multiple nerdgasm your guide do all
- 0:31things
- 0:35nerdy he hasn't done it yet well what I have so remember last week we were
- 0:40discussing the last star fighter yes and I said I was going to go watch it well I
- 0:44did did you watch it at the parous Museum yes I did drove all the way up there went
- 0:51into I think it's in the quarantine Zone cuz we're lockdown again quarantine
- 0:57Jesus but and I still like it it's still a good movie I think I've changed my mind I
- 1:04don't want them to remake it anymore okay I want them to do a sequel okay do
- 1:09you remember how that movie ended I don't even remember how that
- 1:14movie began the lizard guy turns to him and goes turns out you're the penultimate star
- 1:19fighter well no so he comes in destroys the enemy Fleet yay everyone wins goes
- 1:25home picks up his girlfriend and then goes back into space with the lizard guy
- 1:29to start rebuilding the Army and then his younger brother jumps up onto the
- 1:34arade machine and starts practicing I'm thinking they should do a sequel now
- 1:38okay same actors back and do like a Tron legacy type of thing the younger brother
- 1:42would be 40 years old now so that could be quite good I mean we'd still be the
- 1:46target audience for the film I assume right well yeah I don't I don't care
- 1:50about other people I care about us so it that's that's my new what I
- 1:55want him to do no need for reboot or a sequel just do yeah just do a straight
- 2:00sequel it'll work and it'll make more sense than Tron I mean they are doing a
- 2:05lot of sequels to 80s movies but not a lot of them uh really obscure
- 2:11practically unknown movies like the last star fighter man is it is it I guess
- 2:16yeah kids don't know what it is it feels weird to feels weird to hear you say
- 2:19that but I suppose it is I guess it is it really is I mean don't get like we
- 2:23love it but we're the only ones who love it I remember seeing this at the Roxy in
- 2:28param when it used to be a c wow hey I I I still I'm I'm happy to go
- 2:34on record and say I think this movie would do better than
- 2:38Dune when it comes out if they would to make a sequel to the last star
- 2:43fighter Luke just hates Dune what did Frank Herbert do to
- 2:48you he wrote a book and I tried to read it a number of only read the first page
- 2:54Luke the only thing you know about it the only critiques you make of that book
- 2:58are on the first page page and I've read that first page so pretty tight dun
- 3:03Idaho creeps up behind him page one
- 3:07yep and then I knew it was you coming because of the way you walk blah blah
- 3:12blah yeah that's not the interesting bit Luke read on read
- 3:17on you got you never frontload a book like that Dan he's given he's given the
- 3:22game away on the first page it's like great this is a book about Duncan Idaho
- 3:26creeping up on people like books about
- 3:32sneaking I okay I don't like dun I've tried it's not going to work for me but
- 3:36I still honestly think I think the last St I would do better I really honestly
- 3:39do well like think about I know you guys love Dune but think about it for the
- 3:44audience General audience out there which movie do you think would do better
- 3:48I'm not even sure General audiences like space movies unless there's Guardians of
- 3:51the Galaxy in them and that's what I'm sort of going
- 3:55with like I'm surprised they want like I'm surprised you're not pushing for a
- 4:00Battlefield Earth sequel Luke Battlefield Perth it's said in Western
- 4:06Australia I don't remember that movie at all your friends at the church of
- 4:11Scientology certainly remember it they do I tell you they called me a couple of
- 4:15weeks ago yeah we discussed that yeah that's did Tom Cruz get in touch with
- 4:19you yet no I'm still waiting for Tom to give me a call all right oh he's he's
- 4:24been busy well actually I don't think he has been busy I think they've put
- 4:27filming on hold in uh Los Angeles again haven't they stand too close to someone Luke stand
- 4:33too close to someone and he'll he'll call you to tell you off I think
- 4:36England's still going uh La I think is shut down production again so the more I
- 4:42think about it him going off with people I'm so upset with way the media made
- 4:46that look they really led into it like he's lost gone off the handle for something
- 4:51stupid not not this time it's actually yeah no had a very good reason to it
- 4:57that reason was Co so welcome back Dan
- 5:01thanks I uh just forgot to turn up last
- 5:05week I just forgot what day it was I was confused by holiday and I just went to
- 5:10bed I woke up in the morning to a whole lot of texts and a miss call from you

- 6:29are you you a Spotify user on uh on your I was going to say what do you use but
- 6:34it's probably Spotify right yeah I only use Spotify I actually use yeah Spotify
- 6:38too I find it bizarre too like the the fact that like albums were so much a
- 6:44part of my life and now they just don't exist to me and not only that stereos to
- 6:50play those albums of were also a big part of my life and now I just have a
- 6:53speaker that I literally just say play music and it just plays music I like
- 6:58it's bizarre I use Spotify even though I
- 7:02know Spotify is the jerkiest of all of the companies and pays artists the least
- 7:08but it's still the best experience for
- 7:11me so I uh I just listen to it on everything wallow in self-loathing as I
- 7:18as I listen so yeah yeah and just hope you get your one cent anytime anyone
- 7:23listens to one of your songs one cent wow
- 7:2800001 Fair yeah ah the democratization of
- 7:34media so we've all made it to the New Year yes I think that's pretty good um
- 7:40now I went and saw a movie this week I actually went out to the movie I went
- 7:45out to the movies this week too Luke I wonder if we saw the same film I don't
- 7:50know I saw this um Little Indie thing called Wonder Woman 1984 yeah I think I
- 7:54saw an ' 80s movie as well yeah yeah or it might have been a series it was very
- 7:59it's a it's a remake I might have watched three episodes of the series
- 8:03back to back that movie was strange it
- 8:08understand it I had no idea what anyone's motivation was and we the start
- 8:14of the movie didn't need to be in it at all the first 30 minutes and 30 whole
- 8:20[ __ ] minutes cuz it's a really unnecessarily long movie CH not only
- 8:24could you cut it but I thought okay this is going to be the worst movie I've ever
- 8:27seen right and I'm not a fan like listeners to this podcast will know I I
- 8:31didn't like Wonder Woman the first movie and I was watching this going
- 8:37holy this is worse but after that I've
- 8:41got to admit it kind of just became a
- 8:44nothing movie which was kind of okay like it didn't make any sense and it was
- 8:51totally dumb but then again I find this much more enjoyable to
- 8:56watch than the first one which I felt was trying to tell me that it was a
- 9:02really good movie when it wasn't this one knew it was crap it knew and so
- 9:07therefore I just kind of enjoyed it one thing I found strange in it cuz I I
- 9:12still think that they went and did an ' 80s one because Marvel did a '90s one
- 9:16mhm yeah but they didn't really make it feel' 80s if that makes any sense it
- 9:22wasn't like a in in in a in a couple of ways they did you know like there was
- 9:27the Dopey scientist who was hot as soon as she took off her glasses and you know
- 9:33all of those kind of 80s tropes were in there um but I find they Wonder Woman is
- 9:39a ridiculous character she's ridiculous you know it's a ridiculous costume she
- 9:44has ridiculous powers and so I think the only way to do it is to do a ridiculous
- 9:51movie and they did and the 80s were ridiculous so I think it works well
- 9:55that's I think that's why I didn't like the first Wonder Woman movie they tried
- 9:58to make it all Z Snider and dark and serious and I just don't think that
- 10:02works for Wonder Woman so I like this better but yeah cut 45 solid minutes out
- 10:08of it yeah yeah cuz I read an article that said that they um the studio pushed
- 10:13to get the beginning of the movie I like I said I haven't seen it yet uh I know
- 10:18that there's two kind of pre-movie things that happen because
- 10:23from this article and Warner Brothers was like can we get rid of those and
- 10:26then yeah and py Jenkins was going no ESS be in there in like sound like I
- 10:32heard she she wanted it in there in case like someone was watching this was their
- 10:36first Wonder Woman movie so oh oh so that that did have some backstory to it
- 10:43but but that's what I liked about this or it's what I thought I liked about it
- 10:47was that this goes back to those old superhero movies where it's not an
- 10:51origin story it doesn't connect to a bigger Universe it's just this is one
- 10:54Adventure starring Wonder Woman they went and tied it back in in a whole lot
- 10:58of completely unnecessary ways I.E Chris
- 11:02Pine didn't need to be there yeah but you know what are you going to do I I
- 11:08still the one thing I still can't understand is this movie doesn't make
- 11:12sense to the Justice League movies no but I'm kind of okay with that because I
- 11:16[ __ ] hate those as well cuz when bleck comes in and sort of tries to get
- 11:20her to come out and be active like he's a photo I found of you from World War I
- 11:25she was running around in the 80s like a lot of stuff and hanging out with Chris
- 11:30Pine so it's like oh your long lost love from 100 years ago try 20 years
- 11:35ago yeah right yeah weird but I don't care it was just a dumb movie where one
- 11:41woman was doing stuns yeah I probably won't watch it I
- 11:47mean I will at some point but I don't there's no need to Matt there's no need
- 11:50to there's no need to but but honestly Matt it's better than the first one not
- 11:55that that's saying much I like the first one better you do okay go y first one
- 12:00was just so nothing this one is more
- 12:05nothing but in a good way I also read that the last time the first the first
- 12:11one cuz the end of the first one was just awful that horrible CGI [ __ ] Fest
- 12:16which is I mean I feel like there's the equivalent of that in this too well
- 12:23yeah well I read that they didn't uh they made her change the ending of
- 12:27Wonder one the original one I mean who knows if this is true this article to
- 12:32that yeah this article said that the it had a much smaller scale ending the
- 12:37first movie and they made they wanted to have a big battle yeah big CGI shitfest
- 12:43and so they they made her do that CU that's what everyone
- 12:45wants that made me wonder if if this one would be better because she might have a
- 12:49bit more freedom but it sounds like not really she got the freedom but then kept
- 12:54stuff that yeah it's not needed like yeah she fought for the opening half an hour
- 12:59which has no bearing on the movie does they don't even try and tie it back in
- 13:03later in the movie it's just her doing stuff right being a hero is that what it
- 13:07is it's her being a kid being a kid oh
- 13:11oh oh oh it's her being I get I got like
- 13:16it's um to set up her backstory flashback yeah there sort of two 15
- 13:22minutes long just to get to a point where her mom says something to her not
- 13:26her mom her trainer says something to her that then factors in later in the
- 13:30movie then we go to another Preamble that's got nothing to do with the plot
- 13:35just to see her as galad do in the Wonder Woman costume because you then
- 13:40never see her in that costume again for another hour and a half right she's just
- 13:44Diana Prince for the whole movie until the end where she's like [ __ ] it I'll
- 13:47put the skirt on but it did so well they've now fast
- 13:54tracked the third movie I don't think it has done well I think I read that it's
- 13:59not doing very well at all this week I'm seeing two sides of the two separate
- 14:04articles coming out like either they say it's done really well their Fast Track
- 14:07or it's done terrible and I think it's I think it did to judge it on I think it's
- 14:12hard to judge it on what they used to judge things on because yeah used to be
- 14:17box office you can't just go off box office anymore right they should just go
- 14:21off this podcast that's what they should do for all movies from now on Y and it's
- 14:26easy for us to see all movies now cuz there's only one two out at any given
- 14:30time I still didn't see it well it's still dangerous for you to see movies
- 14:34Matt oh yeah so you know it might be dangerous here soon too you know we have
- 14:40we've got something I mean you say that but I can actually I can literally just
- 14:43watch it in my living room if I if I wanted to that's true and we can't do
- 14:48that no or I would have cuz it cost me $100 to go to the [ __ ] movie yeah
- 14:52Jesus Christ I don't know I don't know what it cost here it's what 18 bucks a
- 14:57ticket and then you be and then your popcorn and so the eight that the 100
- 15:02bucks was just for tickets four tickets cuz I took my niece and nephew as well
- 15:06so qu and I nie and nephew
- 15:09$100 $25 a ticket [ __ ] hell so you're getting ripped off it's only like yeah I
- 15:15think it was 18 bucks for us yeah this Cinema has really done it done itself up
- 15:20like all the seats are leather and it's got [ __ ] Neon Lights showing you
- 15:24where to sit and stuff and they feel you they can charge 25 bucks for that yeah
- 15:29hey they charged it and you paid it so they're right seriously when my [ __ ]
- 15:33TV and my couch gets here I'm never going to the movies
- 15:39again I still like it and I think I like going more now than I used to because
- 15:44they're so empty yeah it's certainly a plus yeah I read a thing that compared
- 15:50Wonder Woman To The Last Jedi and I'm not sure if that was just attempting to
- 15:54kind of start a little bit of a a war online that it doesn't seem like it's
- 15:59it's it's got that level of nonsense going on I wouldn't say It's the Last
- 16:04Jedi I would say it's more like rise of Skywalker you'll watch it and there'll
- 16:08be no need to ever watch it again people either love it or they hate it well I
- 16:13think they me in the sense that critics went Gang Busters for Wonder Woman 1984
- 16:18and everyone thought it was going to be really good because all the critics were
- 16:20like yeah it's great and then they that's when they said oh yeah let's fast
- 16:24trck the sequel and then it came out and everyone was like well this isn't very
- 16:27good is it yeah which is kind of what happened with The Last Jedi and there's
- 16:31a lot of not very good like what I don't understand with these
- 16:37big movies like maybe it's so expensive that you have to make them really long
- 16:41like maybe it just doesn't justify the cost of $200 million to make a 90minut
- 16:46movie you know what I mean maybe it's it's you know it's 210 million to make a
- 16:512 and a half hour one and they're like well that's more economical to do that
- 16:55but like when I saw do you see just don't do it the movies well they just
- 17:01they they just don't know how to write characters are they just meddling too
- 17:04much is that what it is I think it might be because like I
- 17:09understand what you're saying like they may be saying like we can't give people
- 17:11a 90-minute movie cuz they're paying so much and look at what Marvel do theirs
- 17:15are all go for over two hours but they've got a little bit more substance
- 17:19yeah Marvel they ain't yeah I did see an article this week
- 17:24about um is it Ray Ray something this the guy who plays Cyborg
- 17:30he never work he'd never work with the head of the DC films people again not
- 17:36that I don't think I think the feeling is mutual there um but yeah that's I
- 17:42mean maybe that's got something to do with maybe they are metalsome and I he
- 17:47was talking particularly in a in a I think bunch of uh racially negative ways
- 17:53I think is what he was talking about treated by just Sweden was yeah so I
- 17:57don't know if that would apply in in Wonder Woman's case but you know just
- 18:01maybe they are think say what you want about Disney but I think Disney's
- 18:07strategy is get really good storytellers and just let them do their thing now
- 18:13sometimes that doesn't pay off Lord Miller didn't pay off Ryan Johnson
- 18:16didn't pay off but like Dave filon [ __ ] pays off oh yeah like Kevin fige
- 18:21[ __ ] pays off you know what I mean like they when they get it right they
- 18:25get it right and they keep investing in their people whereas like
- 18:29you know Zack Schneider and when he didn't do well they killed off his
- 18:32daughter and you know all it's just you could just see the mations cuz
- 18:38when do we get the Zack Snider cut because that's going to be happening
- 18:43soon isn't it yeah he he's still posting [ __ ] on Twitter or not did you see what
- 18:48he posted this week hint hint Jared Le oh yeah have people worked out yet and
- 18:55start to understand that this is all still not going to be good couldn't even
- 18:59make it through the new trailer the new trailer is [ __ ] awful it wasn't like
- 19:03that the stuff he gave us before this was good and everyone loved I'm I'm more
- 19:08interested in this just as a as a kind of
- 19:11a uh an interesting bit of Pop Culture you know like the whole Snider
- 19:17cut thing I think is interesting and I'll watch it on that basis I'm more
- 19:21likely to watch that even though I hated that movie than I am the new Wonder
- 19:25Woman movie just because I still think it's setting a bad PR
- 19:30unless enough he makes it good like
- 19:36this if it is good that would be worse because it means that if people
- 19:41[ __ ] and moan and complain enough they can go back and redo things yeah and we
- 19:47don't want that no we'll end up with Mass Effect
- 19:5232
- 19:55yeah M when's Mass Effect come out oh God knows I don't think there's a
- 20:01date for it I think there's probably not even a game but you watched another
- 20:04movie I watched soul and uh oh yes I concur with you Matt this is a wonderful
- 20:11movie falls apart a little bit in the second half and I think the ending holds
- 20:17back a little bit from what it could have been uh but I W for it to
- 20:23land yeah correct but honestly this was
- 20:27[ __ ] great and I didn't
- 20:36the whole first half it's not [ __ ] kids movie the second half like once
- 20:40there's a cat in it it's a kids movie yeah till the end you kids are going to
- 20:45be like like it's about very I guess grownup yeah stuff about turns to me 30
- 20:52minutes in and she's like dude this movie is about you man yeah I'm like I
- 20:57know yeah it's about like what you know why you do why you doing what you're doing
- 21:03and why why are your dreams your dreams yeah and like what what aspects of Life
- 21:10are passing you by while you're so focused on trying to achieve
- 21:14your yes artistic goals it's like that um quote from uh from Harry Potter where
- 21:19dumore says this is true I'm not being a dick dumor says it doesn't do well to
- 21:24live in dreams and forget to live oh that's uh that's good that's good maybe
- 21:30I'll check out this Harry Potter someday it's a little Indie Little Indie uh I I
- 21:35do I do want to watch Harry Potter one day I've seen one and a half of the
- 21:40movies years ago I I want to finish watching them you mean as in be done with
- 21:45watching them forever no I think I stopped watching around it was either
- 21:51the Goblet Fire or the Phoenix so three four more
- 21:57movies uh gobble of fire gobble of fire is that the name of this this episode
- 22:02yep go yep Harry Potter movies are quite good I
- 22:08I must say I like them uh but not as good as soul I really liked Soul uh Luke
- 22:13you should check it out yeah you should actually Luke I think everyone should
- 22:17I'll get to it it's it's funny and it's uh touching
- 22:21and yeah Matt Matt did you
- 22:25cry uh I did not cry I not there were
- 22:29too many people around oh I didn't cry per se but I I got very
- 22:36emotional I got very chok choked yeah no no I I think I said last week I felt
- 22:40very like uh I think I said I felt attacked uh yeah but that's yeah yeah
- 22:47yeah yeah I found not in a negative way I was just like oh all right
- 22:52fine no no no but then you think to yourself well it's easy for you to
- 22:56[ __ ] say you're [ __ ] living your dream screener that's right you just
- 22:59made this film yeah exactly [ __ ] you you don't know me yeah all right Trent resar
- 23:04who just scored this film oh man oh I want to talk about Trent resar for a sec
- 23:08too right because I need to I need to make a formal and public apology to
- 23:13Trent resar and adus Ross um not because of this movie although they did a great
- 23:18job of the of this music in this movie fews ago week few weeks ago we said I
- 23:24said that you know what you get when you hire Trent
- 23:29you get their [ __ ] the sound of a finer film exactly and we decided look
- 23:34there's there's nothing wrong with having a style uh then I watched Finch's
- 23:39newest film M which is a joy it's a seen it but I've listened to the soundtrack
- 23:44and I was like a joy if you like Hollywood and old timey films and [ __ ]
- 23:50me if they haven't just created a old timey Jazz score that sounds right out
- 23:56of an old movie like I was I take back everything I said about them yeah yeah
- 24:02this soul I mean you can tell the bits where it's them cuz I mean Soul has it's
- 24:07it's a you know it's got musical stuff that's not them yeah got a lot of jazz
- 24:12and stuff like that that's um in there but when you when when it is them you
- 24:17can tell but it's also more I guess I
- 24:22mean it's a Pixar film so it wouldn't doesn't make sense for it to sound you
- 24:27know like [ __ ] I don't know uh I can't for some reason
- 24:31I'm blanking on any finer film think of a single finer film it doesn't make
- 24:35sense for Dragon Tattoo exactly it doesn't make any sense for it to sound
- 24:39like that and it doesn't no so but the sequences that their music features
- 24:45in it's not just doesn't give it away the [ __ ] afterlife like I don't know
- 24:50how they sold that to the executives like we're going to do this [ __ ]
- 24:54Kafkaesque abstract minimalist nightmare
- 24:58so funny I this looks very unique I think I don't think mentioned that the
- 25:04other week but the yeah that art style
- 25:06is [ __ ] intense I so good I want to watch it with a kid and just see if
- 25:13they're [ __ ] terrified by it honestly just nip out and grab one yeah it'll be
- 25:19fine hey want to come watch a movie yeah I've got a I've got a got a video player
- 25:24in the van how does it plug in and what's a video
- 25:30player yeah highly recommend it yeah I do too can I recommend something else
- 25:35it's not a film yes it's a television series and I watched one episode of the
- 25:40other day and then had to watch every episode of both seasons uh and then I
- 25:44cried into my hanky that there was no more and I watched every little clip and
- 25:48interview online and that's succession
- 25:51on HBO with Brian Cox um this is [ __ ]
- 25:56Shakespeare in the modern world and I loved it I loved it it's a borderline
- 26:02soap opera so it's kind of like a guilty pleasure but it's about this uh
- 26:09immensely wealthy family who just [ __ ] hate each other and all of them
- 26:13are just trying to be the CEO of the company that their family owns and it's
- 26:19it's [ __ ] King Le um in America and it's great the
- 26:25dialogue the dialogue it's just I've seen this not not seen it
- 26:31but like but like yeah I've been aware of it too and and I just hadn't been
- 26:35interested oh it's comedy drama all right I it's not a comedy but it is
- 26:40immensely funny and if you if you want to be convinced that I'm not doing a
- 26:44good job go and watch nerd writer's um little five minute video essay on it and
- 26:49it will convince you that's I feel like I've seen somebody mention this in like a YouTube
- 26:54video or something as a well you might have seen R he does
- 26:59just the dialogue yeah it's amazing and it's made me really appreciate Brian Cox
- 27:04too cuz I was like what is Brian Cox in and like IMD beat him he's in [ __ ]
- 27:07everything and he's invisible I couldn't list any Brian other than X-Men right
- 27:12other than X-Men I couldn't think of what he was in but he's been in so many
- 27:16films and he's always great and and and he's just such a a powerful presence I'm
- 27:22I'm like I can literally picture him in something and I can't remember what it
- 27:25is yeah that was kind of my attitude as well and I'm probably picturing a number
- 27:30of different films just not realizing it well I think that I thought he and Brian
- 27:34Den were the same person for quite quite some time cuz I was like Brian Cox yeah
- 27:38he was great in the Rambo movies no he's not in them you know what I mean right
- 27:43yeah yeah Brian deny died this year right oh he did he did why didn't he
- 27:48come up on our list [ __ ] it I'm changing my crocodile to Brian Den too
- 27:54late Hitler's pet Brian Denny
- 28:01I want that in print somewhere I know we already named this episode
- 28:07but please make sure that's in the blur I've just been continuing to watch
- 28:11Elementary a lot it's very I did watch I did watch an episode of that and I I
- 28:17thought it was quite good Johnny Lee Miller is really good as uh as homes and
- 28:23uh and Lucy L great like so it's good it's good show well this there's a lot
- 28:29of stuff that came is coming coming out now I just this week uh season 3 of
- 28:33Cobra Kai came out got to catch up on season 2 I loved season one but then for
- 28:38some reason I haven't gone away season 3 I watched in one day it's it's good the
- 28:44acting is not the greatest the fight scenes are also not the greatest but
- 28:48it's just a good show there's a lot of kid acting in it which which turns me
- 28:53off but I think some of the fight scenes they had especially when having like
- 28:58lots of people fighting background you could see where it's like okay I put my
- 29:02arm here and then I hold here while this person moves to the left and that's karate
- 29:09yeah if it's real people in the fight scenes and it's already better than the
- 29:13fight scenes in Wonder Woman though which it just cuts into a video game cut
- 29:17screen every time there's a I've not watched any of Cobra Kai and
- 29:22I know everyone says it's good but I just I don't know just doesn't interest
- 29:26I'm sort of Happy that it did get a season 3 and even season 4's coming cuz
- 29:31after YouTube went we're not making stuff anymore mhm so Netflix picked it
- 29:36up it's the [ __ ] was a top rated show at at one stage too like people are

- 30:30to get through before I can watch something else no no you I mean you do you do love your
- 30:36Sherlock Homes the other good thing about elementary is that it's it's a
- 30:40good oldfashioned American TV series so it's got 24 [ __ ] episodes a season it
- 30:45goes forever it just it's all the new ones you know new series is like his six
- 30:51episodes or something and it's it's over too soon this goes on forever it's great
- 30:56I'm sure the writing will taper off no man they just sack their Riders and
- 31:01get new ones yeah Fair yeah I also watched the first episode of the new
- 31:08season of the expanse which is a [ __ ] fantastic show and I need I'm not even
- 31:12up to date I'm not even up to date with that I got to watch season 3 still
- 31:17that's um that's a show that Jenner is not interested in at all so I got to
- 31:22watch it uh by myself at some point too much space politics which is
- 31:29and I was going to argue and then I watched the first episode of season and
- 31:32I was like there is a lot of just talking about space politics in this
- 31:36I'll I'll just let that go that's going to be a me show I mean space politics is
- 31:41like the second best thing about space behind space space existentialism and
- 31:47slightly ahead of just space shooting yeah and IDE you have all three which
- 31:52they do like they cuz I guess they got to set up certain things for the season
- 31:56that so there's this first episode in particular there's a lot of lot of
- 32:00people sitting around and politicians talking about you know we've put
- 32:03sanctions on this and these terrorists have come in we've had to do that and I
- 32:06was like yeah she's not going to like this never mind I'll let it
- 32:10go great show though it also has space monsters that's what I was I was like
- 32:17maybe you know it's got space monsters
- 32:18you like monsters in space but also
- 32:24politicians she is American though so I can understand why she just doesn't want
- 32:28to hear about politicians fair oh I watched something
- 32:32else sick of them I watched Charlie
- 32:35Brooker death to 2020 I how is that so you Charlie Brooker used to do his
- 32:41screen wipe where he would do a mockumentary at the each year about the
- 32:45the Going's on and he hasn't done it for many years because he's been busy with
- 32:47black mirror and all of that he's done this 2021 and it's surprisingly good I
- 32:54laughed out loud many many times it's well worth a watch it's it's silly it
- 33:01it's silly but it's also quite clever okay all right I might give that a go
- 33:07and watch it now don't watch it in a year you won't care you won't get you
- 33:11won remember the the jokes you got to watch it now while it's all sort of
- 33:14relevant yeah there a lot actually happened last year that you sort of just
- 33:18forget about I saw there was uh on New Year's before the the Time Square ball
- 33:25drop which was [ __ ] miserable this year by the way did you see that that I
- 33:28mean obvious for obvious reasons but it was just like it was even worse than I
- 33:31had imagined just cuz I mean there was there were people there but they were in
- 33:35like little cubicles and there were not a lot of people there and then the the
- 33:38it was already midnight and then they still had the musical guests singing and
- 33:43I was like well they [ __ ] the timing up on this and then they started the
- 33:47countdown I'm like well was it's 2 minutes past now and then the the ball
- 33:51came down and then just a couple of little fireworks shot out the side I was
- 33:54like oh God so who was the musical guess that was so important they couldn't cut
- 34:00away from them I don't know it was a you
- 34:04a woman singing imagine no no of I guess
- 34:07no not not not someone I listen to but before all of that they had a
- 34:13retrospective of all the people who had died in
- 34:162020 and I I was I kept going oh [ __ ]
- 34:21yeah oh God him too oh her oh I forgot
- 34:24about them like just so many yeah like bri that's how I remember you know when
- 34:31you said Brian I was like oh yeah he because he was part of that Montage it
- 34:35was so Montage well like even when you brought up in a couple weeks when you
- 34:39like Chad rck Boseman like I forgot that happened and that was only in August
- 34:45yeah yeah well I know it's 2021 now but I'd like to i' I'd like to nominate a
- 34:52geek of the week oh all right did you guys have one

- 35:09don't think we did have a geek of the week I no no I don't remember you doing
- 35:13it this uh nomination uh is an actress by the name of Tanya
- 35:19Roberts uh she is a Bond girl [ __ ] we're losing the Bond girls man we've had so
- 35:25many Bond girls go in the last couple of years and a
- 35:29she was inew to aill not the best definitely not the best one of the worst
- 35:35in fact B movies it's one of the more memorable ones though that's true that's
- 35:40true but she was also in a film that we talked about only a couple of weeks ago
- 35:46Luke she's the girl from Beast Master oh I've got to watch that I'm trying to
- 35:52remember that I mean if you Google Tanya Roberts you you mostly just get pictures
- 35:56of her and cheap 80s adult magazines I'll be
- 36:01honest um Academy Award win she was
- 36:07not oh Google auto correct I typed in ten yet and it it auto correct like like
- 36:13suggested first one Robert's Dead
- 36:19Oh brutal um oh she was the mother from
- 36:23the 70 show what what
- 36:28she was Donna's mother in That 70s Show never seen that show I thought neither
- 36:34have I but I thought I knew all the characters she's not that little old
- 36:37woman who's married to uh that's what I was thinking I was thinking that woman
- 36:42the [ __ ] leave it's not Michael Ironside is it who's the father no it's
- 36:47the other guy who I always mistake for it's it's the the bad guy
- 36:54from you want to live forever well that's the thing no no it's the bad guy
- 36:58from half the stuff that's not from the 80s that's not Michel
- 37:02inside yeah but not not not her she she
- 37:07was Donna's mother she wasn't in it as much and then she left the show is Donna
- 37:12the redhead yes yeah oh she was on TV's Charlie's
- 37:18Angels according to this image of her that says whatever happened to Tenya
- 37:23Roberts um she died that's why I don't I
- 37:27I don't know I so what did she die of do
- 37:31we know just being old it was non-co
- 37:35related okay well good oh I think she5 Roberts was on a walk with her dog on
- 37:41Christmas Eve and then collapsed at home so I guess they're blaming the dog
- 37:47yeah maybe it's that same dog that drove that car into a ditch last week
- 37:55yeah oh that's a shame what I want to know is does Luke going to let
- 38:02her get geek of the week I'm not I I I can't I can't give it to her we're not
- 38:07going to have the
- 38:12first I don't judge M she got close with Beast Master yeah I thought it might
- 38:17have been Beast Master that would get her across the line but it hasn't I'm
- 38:21sorry no same she died but she doesn't quite meet the criteria for Geek in a week
- 38:28oh I'm sure she's disappointed sure her family going to be upset to hear that
- 38:33that not given her this award do we have uh do we have a geek of the week
- 38:38rejection jingle mat I think we need one even if it's just the geek of the week
- 38:42played backwards it's we need something actually you know what I think that is
- 38:46what we've done in the past
- 38:54so there you go I did a geek of the year jingle for uh for the end of year
- 39:00episode the other week oh that's you did oh was [ __ ] Epic Man I meant to
- 39:04mention that to you yeah it was like ah [ __ ] it you you just [ __ ] went for it
- 39:09you were like this may be my only chance London Symphony Orchestra well we can do
- 39:14it um remind me Matt I tell I got to tell you a story but it's going to be in
- 39:19the Afterparty but remind me okay all right okay uh well I've got I've got a
- 39:23musical music related uh story I
- 39:28misinterpreted a song well I have this this reminded me a little bit of as soon
- 39:33as I had said this it reminded me of you know your story about your dad on the
- 39:36ferry Dan where as soon as the words escaped my mouth I realized no you are
- 39:42wrong that is not we were
- 39:46driving and Pearl Jams black came on the radio
- 39:52and I said this song's about AIDS isn't
- 39:56it and as soon as I said
- 40:00it Jenna gave me a look and I was like
- 40:04it is absolutely not about AIDS not in not even
- 40:09remotely and I don't know why I thought
- 40:13that but I have since I was a child thought that I'm just through the lyrics
- 40:20now I mean there's no no it's about being dumped and
- 40:26basically because he had AIDS I guess yeah what's that's what I kept maintaining as we
- 40:33discussed discussed it don't where I wonder if there was some link like is it
- 40:39in a film where a character had AIDS or something like that trying to figure out
- 40:44everything was [ __ ] eights right yeah that's what I was trying to figure well
- 40:48I mean PE Jam's 90s right but I guess we were we were raised on a diet of AIDS
- 40:53so [ __ ] Matt your quotations tonight are off the [ __ ]
- 40:59CH please let's redo the opening credits and it's just [ __ ] everything you said this
- 41:05episode but yeah I just uh I don't I don't know where I got that from and
- 41:11like I said as soon as I soon as I said the words I was like that song is
- 41:14absolutely not about AIDS not not even remotely I don't know why I think I
- 41:19don't know how many songs are about AIDS Matt quite honestly yeah not as many as
- 41:23I apparently think well actually I went and saw rent this week at the Sydney
- 41:29Opera house and all of those songs are about AIDS
- 41:34yeah okay 10 songs you didn't know were about AIDS is is James black on there
- 41:40you're black okay Philadelphia I did know about that Madonna in this life
- 41:45don't even know that song Cindy laa boy blue don't know that Elton John the last
- 41:50song not sure which one that is but I probably could have thought about it
- 41:54tcl's waterfalls is about eight
- 41:58is it yes his health is fading and he doesn't know why three letters took him
- 42:03to his final resting place I mean I don't know the lyrics of this very well
- 42:07but that certainly sounds like it's about AIDS H or a
- 42:13[Laughter]
- 42:16gun that's quite good Luke I like that oh I missed it I missed it I was too
- 42:21busy reading about [ __ ] three letters took him to his last resting place and
- 42:25you said that sounds said or
- 42:30gun it was good uh I remember you know we always we
- 42:36always remember that uh that anti-ad ad
- 42:39with the grimers from when we were kids yeah but I also remember I was at a
- 42:46school fate um with handycrafts and stuff um and there was one that was
- 42:52jewelry and there was uh this one woman there somebody's mom from the school and
- 42:58she was looking at jewelry and she was saying to the teacher who was there uh
- 43:03you know selling the the stuff fundraising she's like my my husband's a
- 43:07biky so do you have any jewelry that like might be cool for a biky and the
- 43:11teacher was like oh I've got this Grim Reaper and she goes he doesn't have
- 43:17AIDS and I remember thinking well yeah it's all the Grim Reaper does is give
- 43:22you AIDS yeah and Bows yeah in a very
- 43:27smoky bowling alley yeah yeah also cigarettes he's into cigarettes I guess
- 43:33with hooks on them oh God God cigarettes cigarettes with hooks remember that Miss

- 43:54listeners the ad was a girl letting ants crawl up the inside of her leg right up
- 44:00to her crotch and then she [ __ ] gets an ant eater and puts it on her bed you
- 44:05know I do remember that and I never thought about it until you just
- 44:10said that like I remember I L I remember it very vividly never thought it was odd
- 44:15until you just said that and now I'm ad an innocent kid yeah and you think
- 44:21nothing of it exactly you could do whatever you wanted on TV in the'80s in
- 44:25Australia it was a glorious except except show any minorities you
- 44:30couldn't do that you couldn't do
- 44:33that uh follow up apparently spam is so
- 44:38popular in Asia that there is also a a vegan version of it told you man told
- 44:44you that reminds me I actually brought a can of spam well now mat as well tried
- 44:50it yet I can buy some Omni pork luncheon it's
- 44:56called I know omn pork omn pork it
- 45:00sounds like a no specific part of the pig well it's not it's not it's it's
- 45:07it's like fake but yeah omn pork that's

- 45:18brought the can of spam now I will eat it next week all right and I'll talk
- 45:23about how should I make what should I prepare what do I do with it oh man just
- 45:28like that you can you can slice it can I just eat it cold no don't don't do that
- 45:34do not do that do not eat it out of the can it'll basically just be Chum okay
- 45:38don't do that okay right take it out of the can slice it thinly slice it and pan
- 45:44fry it with some eggs for your breakfast
- 45:48right or later on in the day slice it
- 45:52into fries and deep fry it as a snack also good I don't know Luke should be
- 45:59deep frying things without somebody around to supervise him fair yeah I
- 46:04don't think Luke's allowed to use the oven in his house so no so I might just
- 46:08go with the uh eggs yeah so instead of baking and eggs I'm having spaming eggs
- 46:14spaming eggs all right I'll let you know how it goes next week can I ask you a
- 46:18question yes uh Hannah is away or has been away right for a
- 46:24bit Luke does the his house well no no no I know Luke Cooks we know this we
- 46:29know this about Luke but what I also know about Luke is that he doesn't do
- 46:33the dishes because he doesn't like getting his hands wet so are you just
- 46:37letting the dishes pile up in anticipation of Hannah's return what
- 46:42happened was for some reason when Hannah's like
- 46:47here I just forget to eat oh
- 46:50okay and when I remember to eat I'd get takeaway and just eat out of the
- 46:56containers that came in and then just throw the containers away okay I like
- 47:01how he's not denying that he won't do dishes no I I I don't do dishes I don't
- 47:07like getting it's true I don't like getting my hands you know there's such a
- 47:09thing as washing up gloves for exactly that purpose because some elderly women also
- 47:16don't like getting their hands wet when they do the washing up yeah but I I I
- 47:20don't buy any of them you you could though you could youn do that then I'd
- 47:25have to get plates for when you make your spaming eggs that's what I used to
- 47:29do when I lived by myself maybe just get yourself a dishwasher we do have a
- 47:34dishwasher now but sometimes if it's just one person he has a dishwasher man he has a
- 47:41dishwasher still dish yeah but his dishwashers in Queens [ __ ] dishes
- 47:47[ __ ] that's a joke spit a I spent I spent absolute fortune on buying some
- 47:53bottles that are dishwasher safe for my soda stream
- 47:57I got a stream for Christmas did you yes
- 48:01I did [ __ ] I know for 60 bucks you can buy two one lit bottles that a
- 48:06dishwasher safe M okay cuz Hannah won't
- 48:10wash the bottles she won't and good enough so I just threw them
- 48:16away and brought really expensive ones instead are they Glass by any chance no
- 48:22then I want glass ones cuz when I was a kid can get a glass one okay I want to
- 48:25look for that explode you don't you don't freeze them no no no like cuz
- 48:30you're you're no you carbonation I I'm just asking when I was when I was a kid
- 48:35we had one and they were all glass cuz not as many things were plastic when we were
- 48:40kids but yeah what happen you don't completely fill the bottle so in a liter
- 48:45bottle you fill up like 720 mil and then you put the bubbles in and that's then
- 48:50so if you were to fill it and then try to carbonate it that's where it'll go
- 48:55everywhere I bottled my first batch of mead yesterday I saw that so last week
- 49:00or the week before you were talking about how you have trying not to even
- 49:03drink in your house because you have a pregnant wife and it's unfair now you're
- 49:07making your own alcohol well I mean you've leled it up I started it six months
- 49:12ago right beforehand uh and it needed to be puddled so it started the
- 49:16impregnation or the so have have yeah all at the same time yeah have have you
- 49:22tried any of them I did I did I tasted it and it's quite good and apparently it
- 49:28only gets better so I was pleasantly surprised by that but yeah so well
- 49:32that's good by the time we're allowed to travel again me and Luke can come and
- 49:36visit we can try some meat cuz I like meat I've got a bunch of bottles of it
- 49:39I'm going to age some what's what's the key ingredient m is it is it hone yeah
- 49:45so I mean meat is so easy it's it's literally a a bunch of water and you
- 49:51dump a bunch of honey in and then you heat it up so that the honey all melts
- 49:55and then you put it in a in my case a you know Carboy in like a gallon jug mhm
- 50:02uh with some yeast and then and Al I you know put some fruit and stuff in there
- 50:06as well to make it little delicious but uh that's all it is and then you just
- 50:11leave it for six months and then or although I I did you know rack it as
- 50:17they call it into other car like other bottles so at a certain point all the
- 50:22yeast goes to the bottom you end up with like a sludgy gross bit at the bottom so
- 50:26you take get out of one jug put it into another jug leave all the crud in the
- 50:29bottom and then let it sit again oh okay so you can make just Perpetual meat yeah
- 50:35it's kind of like you just filter out all that crap at the bottom and then now
- 50:38so this this time I could just put it straight into the bottles um and it was
- 50:42yeah and then uh I mean it's pretty alcoholic I don't have I ordered one cuz
- 50:48it's ridiculous cuz it was $10 I don't have the tool the hydrometer that you
- 50:52use to measure the alcohol content H so I have no idea what the alcohol content
- 50:57is but I do know it could be one or 20% it's quite High yes but as you guys
- 51:03disced there no laws in America about how much you can drink uh so [ __ ] go
- 51:08if you yeah it's it's illegal to distill at home yes but you can ferment whatever
- 51:13the [ __ ] you want it's it's not it's in austral it's still it's still legal to
- 51:19use a steel but you're only allowed to distill
- 51:23water can't legally which who's distilling water yeah everyone who gets
- 51:30caught making corn cob
- 51:34moonshine steing some water I don't know what you're talking about cuz with
- 51:39fermentation the yeast turns the sugar into alcohol and but then at a certain
- 51:44point and I mean it can never get that alcoholic because once it reaches a
- 51:49threshold the yeast just dies the alcohol kills the yeast and then it
- 51:52stops so like it's never going to get more than like 20% a so I wanted to
- 51:57steal my own gin now that'd be neat how do I do that I looked into it if it
- 52:02wasn't federally illegal here I think it would be okay in Rhode Island but it is
- 52:07federally 145 bucks I can buy a still huh New Zealand you do it over to New
- 52:13Zealand I know that because there's a guy on YouTube who does it in New
- 52:17Zealand w i can get a 100 liters still that's a lot of
- 52:22$1,000 do you need 100 lers of gin you know what I'm going to I'm going to
- 52:26withdraw that question I'm start with 10 lers cuz 10 lers is only 145
- 52:33bucks what do you need what do you need to make Jin Luke actually don't know cuz
- 52:38when I've made Jin myself it's been by using vodka and then just distilling
- 52:43Junes yeah well I mean vodka is just a quite basic distilled grain alcohol
- 52:49right so I think you just make vodka and then do the same thing and all Jin is is
- 52:54vodka with juniper that's it so I imagine that's all it need to be Jin I
- 53:00another is another thing I always thought uh and it is sort of true I
- 53:04thought all vodka was made of potatoes that's not true just some of it is oh
- 53:08really I thought that what oh yeah I guess that makes sense cuz like all
- 53:13whiskey is not made from the same thing either right so it doesn't have to
- 53:17because I I guess I thought if it wasn't made from potatoes it wasn't vodka yeah
- 53:22but no it's not it's not like that it's it's weird it's like the whis and stuff
- 53:27like you have rice whiskey and cuz I remember I know listeners who saw Jenna
- 53:32and I on the big head mode uh fallout drinking uh what was that pub crawl that
- 53:38we did on the live stream many many years ago we'll know that Carlo brought
- 53:42his Polish potato vodka in a filthy bottle and that was supposed to be the
- 53:48every time in the game we drank irradiated water we had to do a shot of
- 53:53of this potato vodka uh and and then listeners will also anyone who saw it
- 53:58also recall that we got [ __ ] drunk and the producer and started
- 54:03flipping and random switches and the produ yeah the producer uh left cuz he
- 54:09was like I'm going to bed and then we were just left in the
- 54:11studio uh live on stream until some God [ __ ] forsaken hour of the morning I I
- 54:18I wonder if there's a video of that somewhere because I obviously have not
- 54:21seen it there must be right I experienced it but I haven't seen it so
- 54:26well maybe not unless they exported it it may be gone forever yeah maybe it's a
- 54:31good time though we should do more streaming stuff I we should I need to
- 54:36close this down I'm looking at Stills stop yeah I'm not sure I should not make
- 54:40my own gin that would be a terrible thing for me to you'll send yourself
- 54:44blind with how strong I would make it yes probably well I'll try and get some
- 54:49of this Omni pork and I'll make myself some Omni pork and eggs for uh for
- 54:55breakfast okay and then we'll come back and we'll exchange notes let me see can
- 55:00I get Omni pork on Amazon oh [ __ ]
- 55:03pork online what is this Omni Pork yeah
- 55:08oh my God it's a it's not but it's not like he's ordering like a yeah I guess Pig
- 55:13leg kind of spare still and I and I guess I'm forgetting
- 55:18that he does his groceries through Amazon this is not just like he's cuz
- 55:21when when I get something on Amazon it comes from a long way away yeah find omn
- 55:27pork where can I find omn pork looks like nowhere in this country oh that's a
- 55:33shame especially cuz if you ordered there you it' be delivered in what an
- 55:37hour yeah okay Ali Express get it straight from China Straight From the
- 55:40Source yeah it's available in Hong Kong maau Philippines Singapore Taiwan United
- 55:46States because they know to get you some scent from the not a lot of people here
- 55:48would be eating it cuz no one here knows what spam is and also howari yeah
- 55:54exactly don't know what vegetarian as evidenced by when you go to a
- 55:58restaurant you ask everything vegetarian and they're like oh yeah this one's just
- 56:01got some chicken in it yeah yeah we've got this salad with the bacon and just
- 56:07eat around that it'll be fine and I'm not one of those people
- 56:11that gets grumpy with them they just don't know it's fine um speaking of
- 56:15getting grumpy um I'd like to talk about something that makes me incredibly angry
- 56:20um but not anymore so a couple of weeks ago we did our games of the year and uh
- 56:26my runner up was a game not from from last year from 2016 actually but last
- 56:32year it was back in the news and we played it for the first time so I
- 56:35counted it as a 2020 game and that's this war of mine I talked about how I
- 56:39hated it and how it made me sad and how I couldn't stop playing it cuz I just
- 56:43needed to win I just needed to [ __ ] win well boys I [ __ ] won I survived the
- 56:50war so what to survive you have to survive like 45 days or something it
- 56:54changes it changes basically goes through Cycles so you you do your summer
- 56:58your winter there's a a period where there's just lots more looting and it's
- 57:04just it just ramps the intensity and it was incredibly difficult it took
- 57:10me several days to play this one campaign um and actually by the end no
- 57:16one that I started with was still alive I lost two people from my original party
- 57:21in one night the first night it got cold Jesus um and I had just one person left
- 57:27somebody else came and knocked on the door and I invited them in then the
- 57:30other original person died and then this one poor woman did the last 20 days
- 57:36herself [ __ ] hell which is probably you're probably lucky that that it
- 57:40worked out that way because she had no connection with those other people she
- 57:44didn't get straight away depressed with everyone dying around she just walked in
- 57:48and gone sweet I've scored myself a house with all this food it wasn't quite
- 57:52as simple as that um and actually after the winter it but it got to the point
- 57:58where cuz you know you try to stockpile stuff but I was getting raided so often
- 58:03that it wasn't worth me having anything in my house I couldn't use on the day I
- 58:07found it right which was just this extra level of intensity and since it was just
- 58:12me I could either go raiding at night or
- 58:15stay in guard or sleep but not one not more than one of those so it was
- 58:21challenging but also the containment of it made it kind of easier as well in
- 58:27some ways too so I think that's why I got my problem with that game is I I
- 58:32don't pay enough attention so I'll I'll get distracted by something and I won't
- 58:36read something correctly and I'll do something stupid like forget to send
- 58:41someone out you to the someone by mistake you go somewhere you back to the
- 58:45same place you went that you already cleared out yeah yeah and you come back
- 58:51go sorry guys I didn't get anything oh you're dead never mind then I'll be off
- 58:57I'll just eat you but that's not the only game I've been playing because uh I
- 59:03finally just [ __ ] hooked up my Xbox series X so that's a thing now my TV is
- 59:09still not here but it's hooked up to my monitor this monitor right here that's I
- 59:13talked up to you as well yeah yeah what do you think of the load times [ __ ] me
- 59:19so good right you turn on your console and it just loads your game at your last
- 59:24Point like amazing yeah and can does it with multiple games it's not even like it's
- 59:31just that last game you were playing you've done a fast travel in in
- 59:34Assassin's Creed Odyssey yet yeah bam straight there yeah amazing amazing
- 59:40there was one issue which I discuss on safe this week is uh I'm playing Modern
- 59:46Warfare that remastered now there's a little exploit to finish it on veteran
- 59:52right so you play the game on recruit get to the last checkpoint and then you sort
- 59:58of quit out go to restart the mission uh
- 1:00:02on veteran do a hard restart uh reload the game and load it up and it takes you
- 1:00:09to a checkpoint you're in veteran it's great except the Xbox loads too quickly
- 1:00:17legitimately yeah this is how he gets his gamer score go on mhm yeah it's it's
- 1:00:23it's above board sure yeah sounds like it it's not cheating it's just an exploit
- 1:00:29that was found sure so I'm going to have to hook up my old Xbox just so I can do
- 1:00:34this so I can get the veteran achievements because I'm not good enough
- 1:00:36to play it on veteran cuz you're not a veteran yeah I play it on
- 1:00:42veterinarian yeah that's how Jenna plays it too that's why she's so good at
- 1:00:46it oh there's a cat behind you Luke sure that won't surprise you so you're loving
- 1:00:53the series X are you going to check out cyberp Punk Dan I
- 1:00:58am you can you can check it out now even though you're hearing terrible things
- 1:01:03it's fine plays absolutely fine on the Xbox series fine yeah you're really
- 1:01:07selling me absolutely fine Luke alerson no no it is it is I'm still playing
- 1:01:14fantastic yeah yeah yeah look I I I will I wanted to I wanted to just straight
- 1:01:18back into uh Assassin's Creed hesty cuz I've just really missed it but [ __ ] me I
- 1:01:23just met up with my mom with Alex 's mom and I thought okay this must be getting
- 1:01:28towards the end of the story now but I I've still got half the map at least
- 1:01:33maybe more yeah it's [ __ ] huge that's what I was saying yeah what else can happen
- 1:01:38[ __ ] oh I got up to the I know the bit you know luk what you said in cyber punk
- 1:01:44you get to the bit where it says point of no return yep yeah I've got to that
- 1:01:48so a lot earlier than you'd be expecting isn't it yeah although because you'd
- 1:01:52said that when I the particular Quest that I'm on I was like I bet this is I
- 1:01:58bet this is where it's going to happen and then yeah so yeah but you're right
- 1:02:01yeah you could get there pretty quick if you just yeah I think there's less than
- 1:02:06like 10 missions for the actual main story line which is not a lot so I'm
- 1:02:12ignoring that for now and doing some other stuff yeah that's all I did once I
- 1:02:16found that I just went stopping that and then work out a system to go through and
- 1:02:19do every other Stu I am a little I'm a little like I don't know I'm
- 1:02:24I'm I'm not out of things to do yet but my quest list is getting smaller and
- 1:02:29smaller and I'm like oh man like H I wish there was more to do which is funny
- 1:02:35because I just complained about how Assassin's Creed Odyssey is just too
- 1:02:38[ __ ] big this is like the opposite and even with the Witcher a lot of
- 1:02:42people complain about that was there was too much so this time they actually went
- 1:02:46look we're going to yeah and it's all good stuff that's the thing is like
- 1:02:50every Quest is is a good solid quest with a storyline of voice acting and and
- 1:02:55an actual it's not just some you know not go here do this and it's the same
- 1:02:59[ __ ] over and over again there's nothing like that it's all I am interested to
- 1:03:03know what they're going to do with the DLC that they sort of mentioned was
- 1:03:07going to come out cuz how far has that been pushed back now because they're
- 1:03:12just trying to fix it for consoles now the first lawsuit has been brought
- 1:03:17against them in yeah that's the other thing they are they putting their monies
- 1:03:20into lawyers right now surely yeah it sucks it's a real real shame that's what
- 1:03:26you get for outright lying to your investors yes not the developers the uh
- 1:03:32the suits no the developers are more pissed off than we
- 1:03:37are about any of this good yeah they would not have been sitting there going
- 1:03:41it'll be fine we'll fix it later they would have been telling people they
- 1:03:44wanted more time unplayable do not release it they wanted more time they
- 1:03:49were not given more time and other thing I've also said all they needed to do was
- 1:03:53a couple years ago just not say it's not coming out on PlayStation for an Xbox
- 1:03:56one anymore yeah I know complain to be fair at my job if I say I just need more
- 1:04:03time can we just not release then people turn around and say no you just have to
- 1:04:08[ __ ] do your job quicker well it is sort of the problem with that video game
- 1:04:13development cycle like MH you don't get the money until it
- 1:04:17ships yeah MH so you going I need more time means you got to get more money
- 1:04:24from investors and other people to basically do it and I mean cyber Punk is
- 1:04:28a very complicated game yes like it is
- 1:04:33it is very difficult to make a video game like that like and that's the thing
- 1:04:38too is people are like oh it took him what eight years to make the game and
- 1:04:41it's it's it's so short but but like they don't spend the whole eight years
- 1:04:45writing the story that's like making the
- 1:04:48game work MH mhm they built an entire
- 1:04:52city that feels lived in yes that's what took the because I guarantee that they didn't
- 1:04:57even start the story until probably a couple years ago cuz they were just too
- 1:05:01busy trying to figure out how the [ __ ] does this thing work like the how does
- 1:05:05the world work and then they built it and then they made the story and I don't
- 1:05:10know I just hope we get more stories in it even like other characters and I
- 1:05:17don't know just it' be great it's still sold very well sold over 13 million
- 1:05:21copies so I think we're good for them releasing more Stu
- 1:05:26just going to be a wait now and for people like us who have on the Xbox
- 1:05:31series X like you're getting close to finishing I finished it that wait's
- 1:05:35going to be a bit more painful for us cuz we're going to have to wait longer
- 1:05:38now and lately I've had no issues you know we were saying like early on I had
- 1:05:43a few issues with glitches and stuff I've had no issues at all the past
- 1:05:46couple of weeks still have no idea how it runs on the Xbox one I'm not going to
- 1:05:51go find out cuz yeah I know we said we might do that but I can't be bothered no
- 1:05:57why why go play a terrible version of the game you're enjoying yeah exactly
