Gopilot: Xbox Kills Copilot, Molyneux Crypto Row & Alien Isolation 2 · Multiple Nerdgasm

0:09
that's still very loud. No one's complained yet, so I
0:12
know. But I should.
0:14
Actually will complain. Why can't I remember Luke?
0:18
Why can't I remember to adjust that anyway?
0:22
I'd like to apologize. Well, I'm not apologizing.
0:25
I'm apologizing on behalf of a company.
0:27
Why there was no podcast last week?
0:29
OK, go on. My Internet provider was down
0:32
for two days. Who's your in my building
0:34
anyway? Who's?
0:35
Your Internet provider. Iinet.
0:37
All right, so please direct your rage.
0:41
At iinet. They used to be good.
0:44
I well, when I was in the country they were.
0:47
I used to quite like them because they were very much
0:49
Australian, like Australian call centres, fast response and I
0:53
think it was TPG brought them out.
0:56
Right. And so everything's been
0:58
outsourced and I remember, yeah, they're not as good as they used
1:01
to be. And I remember TPG being cheap.
1:05
That's what I remember TPG. And cheap normally means cutting
1:09
corners. Yeah.
1:11
Yep. So I want my building doesn't
1:14
have NBN and I want to go back to Aussie Broadband and it sucks
1:17
because NBN must do. I thought they made sort of a
1:21
law or a rule that any new buildings had to have NBN.
1:25
All right. And so when I moved into this
1:27
building, I knew it was only built like five years ago.
1:30
So I've got, yeah, don't have NBN, like no issue.
1:34
No, it appears the buildings on either side that were built
1:37
before and after my apartment block have NBN, just my block
1:42
does not. That's annoying.
1:44
You even look at the NBN map and it's just my bit in all of the
1:48
place I live is grayed out. I think maybe it doesn't work
1:54
this way. I feel like we paid a little bit
1:56
extra, Dan and I, when we lived in in Auburn, because our
2:00
building was our building didn't have it or just our apartment
2:04
didn't have it running to it. And I didn't have been in a
2:08
building. And if everyone agrees, you can
2:11
sort of yeah to get it running in.
2:14
I feel like I did something and I got it put in for us like but
2:17
it had to have been outside. Presumably it must be for you if
2:19
it's in the other buildings. Oh, it's yeah, it's just weird.
2:23
And to every now and again they will put a vote up.
2:28
Supposedly I've gone through the minutes of the meetings to go.
2:32
They did a vote like a couple of years ago to go.
2:34
Hey, I'm. Certain they're voting no.
2:36
And, well, they need a certain amount of people to vote yes,
2:39
and most people don't care. Oh.
2:41
I see. Yeah, right.
2:44
I care does. It cost the building money to do
2:48
it. Yeah, they have to pay to get
2:50
the power, so that's why we have to vote.
2:53
But it's sort of like I don't understand why it doesn't have
2:55
it to begin with. Yeah.
2:57
It would have been cheaper to do it then than it would be now.
3:00
All. Right.
3:01
So what you're saying is, as always, it's not your fault.
3:04
It's never my fault. I try my best but it's not my
3:08
fault. I was awake and I was in this
3:11
chair and you were not here. I was awake.
3:15
I didn't say you weren't, but you weren't here.
3:17
Here being this room on stream yard.
3:20
Actually, what I ended up doing once I sort of gave up on the
3:24
Internet coming back, I went to the pub.
3:27
Right. And then I stayed there to
3:28
closing and then I had a horrible Sunday.
3:35
Right. Horrible day.
3:37
I did not go to the pub because it was 7:00 AM as it is now.
3:41
There's nothing wrong going to the pub at that time.
3:44
Well, if you work night shift. First of all, we don't have pubs
3:46
and second, they wouldn't be open so.
3:50
No, I used to remember having to go looking at the pubs when I
3:53
worked night shift. Oh yeah.
3:56
I knew where they were because sometimes you go for you'd want
4:00
to go for a drink after work with people.
4:02
And people do look at you a bit weird when you walk into a place
4:05
at 7:00 in the morning after a beer.
4:09
And there'd be sometimes I'd be home and there'd be people
4:11
knocking on the door. I'd answer with a beer in my
4:13
hand and they'd give me a look like, it's very early in the
4:16
morning and I go, well, yeah, I've been awake all night.
4:19
Yeah, this is my after work. I'm winding down.
4:22
And also even if I hadn't, I would be still be having a beer
4:26
at this time I. Don't need to get into that.
4:30
I'm on vacation. I love.
4:35
That's what I loved about Vietnam, because the beers were
4:37
so cheap and everyone knew Luke would have his bus beer, his
4:40
train beer, like he's walking beer.
4:42
Luke would have a beer in his handy.
4:44
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you'd pre emptively
4:46
set it up so you don't have to feel bad.
4:47
Everyone just knows it's a thing.
4:49
It's a thing. It's Luke.
4:51
It's fine. I'm not an alcoholic, I'm just
4:53
charming. Yes, yeah, I don't get silly
4:57
drunk that often. No, that's true.
4:59
That's. Because you're our time.
5:04
I'm normally good now. The time I get silly drunk is
5:07
when I'm drinking with people now.
5:09
Yeah, yeah. So I tend to drink alone and I
5:14
don't get silly. That's how that works.
5:18
It sounds good and wholesome yes, we've got lots of news this
5:24
week because we didn't talk about anything last week.
5:27
So some of this might be a little out of date, but we can
5:30
still talk about things. What have you?
5:32
What have you got for us this week, Luke?
5:33
I know you've. So when Asha Sharma took over
5:39
Xbox, everyone was worried about her taking over.
5:43
But I think a lot of people are starting to come around to she's
5:46
made a lot of changes very quickly.
5:48
I mean, I've seen some what I would consider positive stuff.
5:51
Yeah, with the. Price stuff and all that so.
5:53
And yeah, the price stuff that revamping the achievements and
5:57
which is giving people in the achievement community hope that
6:00
they're going to do a bit more with that, not just change how
6:03
they come up. But one thing people were
6:05
worried about because she came from the AI side of Microsoft,
6:09
that she was going to force AI into Xbox and everything.
6:13
Yeah, I don't know what you would do, but they were worried
6:15
she was going to do something. Yes.
6:17
And well, that actually already announced that Copilot was going
6:20
to be coming to Xbox. OK, so you could say K Copilot
6:25
get me this achievement and it. Was I was not get what Hey can
6:28
you give me help on this or get a tip or so I don't quite know
6:32
what it was it would just. Make some shit up.
6:34
Yes, but evidently she's stopping that.
6:39
All right, As in it was a thing that was going to happen and
6:43
she's, oh, it was. 100% going to happen until she took over.
6:46
Like they only announced it in March this year that it seems
6:50
like coming to Xbox. I don't know whether it's that
6:53
she's got, you know, the same taste as as ours or, or, you
6:59
know, the Xbox games or is it she's just really good at seeing
7:03
what's the reaction been to this stuff and then responding in a
7:05
way that they haven't previously.
7:07
Yeah, well, one thing she says she's very community driven.
7:10
Yeah, OK. It's.
7:11
Not just paying attention. So it's either that or they held
7:15
off a lot of changes that they had ready to go until she took
7:19
over, and then they're making a lot of changes that they've been
7:22
sitting on to make it look so to make a replacement.
7:25
Yeah, but I don't think so. I hope that's not the case.
7:28
I really do hope that she is very much about the community
7:32
and it does seem that way. So.
7:34
Yeah, like with the price coming down, thumbs up.
7:37
Yeah, no copilot thumbs up. What?
7:39
What do we need that for? We don't.
7:41
Yeah, I didn't didn't know how that was going to use work, but
7:45
I was worried about it being there because it just means this
7:47
Copart will debt be constantly running, just taking up hardware
7:52
that I don't want it to. Apparently it is on Windows now,
7:55
so I've so I've heard. OK, I know I use Chrome and I've
7:59
got Gemini. Yeah, I've got.
8:02
Built into Chrome, you can't get.
8:03
Away from them now I know and Chrome keeps telling me, oh, why
8:06
don't you try AI enhanced search?
8:07
And I'm like, I thought I was because every time I type
8:09
something you give me some fucking.
8:11
Maybe it's true, maybe it's not true result.
8:14
I thought that's what Google was always doing.
8:17
Like Google knows what I'm searching before even I even I
8:20
even don't quite know. Like because now when I search
8:23
something on Google, I get the search results if I Scroll down,
8:27
but at the top it's got that Google AI summary.
8:29
And like that's kind of useful, but you have to check it because
8:35
it makes stuff up sometimes. And like it's, I don't.
8:38
Know I have been saying that where it'll give you a sort of a
8:40
brief description of what you just searched.
8:43
Now, what is, you know, tell me about, I don't know, some you
8:45
tell me about Xbox achievements or whatever and it'll give you
8:48
an AI summary at the top. And it's like, yeah, that's
8:51
cool. I can't trust it though.
8:55
No, like it might get things wrong because it has done so.
8:59
I don't know. It's weird.
9:00
And then but and the problem is just people don't check, they
9:04
will just read that and go, Yep, we're done, not go and verify
9:07
the sources of telling you're training from.
9:09
Yeah. And then at some point when
9:10
they're training the AIS and they're going to train it on
9:13
that stuff. And so it's going to compound
9:16
the incorrectness of things. Yes, I don't know.
9:21
But anyway, we don't need. One thing one thing I think they
9:25
should do is just block it from reading from Facebook.
9:29
Yeah, we don't want it learning anything from Facebook.
9:31
We don't want it learning anything from Facebook, Twitter,
9:34
no, whatever the Trump one truth, is it true social, True
9:39
social rumble? Any of them?
9:40
Any of them. Yeah, because blue skies.
9:43
Blue skies got similar problems on the other end of the
9:45
spectrum. Like make sure you just take no
9:48
information from them and I think it'll learn better.
9:51
Yeah. So but now I'm excited for that.
9:55
I'm excited that. You're excited for there to not
9:58
be anything that changes. Yes, yeah.
10:03
That's good. Bad console news.
10:10
Bad. Bad console news for those who
10:12
don't own a Switch to and want 1 is that it's getting more
10:17
expensive. I'm going to guess because of
10:21
AI. Yep, because of the the RAM
10:25
shortage and everything the switch to here in the US is
10:28
going up by 50 bucks which is a lot considering it's only what
10:33
405 hundred bucks? I forget exactly, but I.
10:37
Got to remember a lot of these companies like Nintendo, Xbox,
10:41
they're not making their money off the consoles.
10:43
Like they've got a very small margin on them, if any.
10:46
Nintendo's apologized and said we're so sorry, we have to, we
10:51
have to put the price up. We can't eat this cost anymore.
10:57
So then Switch 2 is getting more expensive, and also the PS-5 has
11:03
gotten more expensive and apparently sales of it have
11:05
plummeted because it's. Really.
11:09
Yeah, it's expensive and people just yeah.
11:13
Also, I think people are being more careful about buying stuff
11:17
at the moment. Because it's yeah across the
11:20
ball and everything's getting a bit.
11:23
What's just we're unsure what's what's going on.
11:26
Yes, well, I know like our mortgage rates are going up
11:31
constantly. Oh, really?
11:33
Yep, when they were starting to come down, they're just now
11:36
they're going back up because everything is and they're trying
11:40
to slow down spending and no one can afford petrol.
11:45
Is right US 6.34 and 6.45 yeah. So I mean that to me that's
11:51
high, but what are the rates in Australia, mortgage rates
11:56
Australia I have. No idea.
11:59
Let's see, Commonwealth Bank says home loan rates are OK,
12:04
they're similar. Yeah, I don't actually know.
12:07
I just pay into it and I pay more than my minimum so I don't
12:11
actually know what I'm meant to be paying.
12:13
Ron, ya fancy pants, get that paid off.
12:16
It's the plan. Get that paid off.
12:19
I can retire, no, Who am I key on?
12:25
Never get to retire. No inflation will take care of
12:28
that. Yeah.
12:32
In other it's not really console news, it's just game news.
12:36
The Steam Controller. There's been reviews of the
12:38
Steam control. Apparently it's quite.
12:40
Store it looks cheap. Yeah, OK.
12:46
Like I, I see what you mean. It's yeah.
12:49
Like did they say it feels cheap?
12:54
No. Because it feels solid.
12:57
I thought they said it felt solid, but you're right.
12:59
That photo at the top, yeah, I think it looks cheap.
13:01
It looks like one of those third party Xbox controllers.
13:05
Yeah. And the problem I have is it's
13:09
where the thumb placements are. Yeah, yeah, it's on with the
13:12
PlayStation Thumb placements, which I will never be able to
13:15
get used to, which I understand because they've got the mouse
13:18
buttons there. I think that's what they're
13:20
meant to be. They're higher up than the
13:22
PlayStation ones actually. OK.
13:24
Yes, you look at actually if you Scroll down to the I guess maybe
13:30
are they the, the, the Steam control is very large.
13:35
Yeah, vertically. So and now I'm looking at it
13:37
next to the PlayStation controller.
13:39
The distance from the D pad to the left joystick is probably
13:44
about the same. It's just that the controllers
13:46
are different. I think it's because it looks,
13:50
because it's got those touch pads, mouse pads, I'm not quite
13:54
sure what to call them sitting under.
13:55
I think it's sort of, yeah. Interesting.
14:02
I actually wish I'd have got one of the original Steam
14:04
controllers. Oh yeah.
14:06
So I heard they were actually quite good, but then when I
14:08
finally went, I'll give one a try, they were you weren't able
14:12
to buy them anymore, but. I see it.
14:18
But nothing beats a good old Xbox controller.
14:21
No, I agree. That's that's my favorite
14:23
controller one right here. I've got 1 here, one on charge
14:30
over there. I've got about 20 in a box over
14:34
there. Oh, just in case.
14:37
They're all they're ones that have made it to retirement. 20 I
14:43
mean, look at your gamers. Look, I'm going back from Xbox
14:46
360 days, so OK. OK, All right.
14:49
Have you got the big chunkers from the original?
14:51
Xbox, I've got the Duke. I've even got a replacement
14:53
Dukes. Yeah, right.
14:55
Because they did a re release of them.
14:57
Very cool. And I use them for racing games
15:00
that I can't use the steering wheel on because I don't know
15:03
those feel better for racing games, I feel.
15:06
Like the sticks are worn in or something.
15:08
Not the sticks, it's just that because you're not having to
15:11
worry about the buttons as much, the buttons were always hard to
15:14
get to on that huge controller. I thought you meant this.
15:18
The busted old controllers in general you.
15:20
Mean no, no, no. Just when I'm playing racing
15:22
games, just having that big chunky controller.
15:25
No. Interesting.
15:26
Actually, I find it a bit easier because you're only really.
15:28
Wait, can you use those on? Break.
15:30
You can use those on your series.
15:33
They've re released them. Well they did a re release here
15:35
so the new ones. Gotcha.
15:38
So the same size and everything, they've just.
15:41
Are they wireless? No, they're not.
15:46
They have to be wired, I mean. It's whatever, which is what
15:49
they were originally. Yeah, exactly.
15:53
Yeah, very cool. That'll be up on my wall soon as
15:56
a little shrine to the ones that have failed me.
16:01
Around a little picture of Major Nelson.
16:04
Yep, Major Nelson didn't fail me.
16:07
He just retired. He needs to come back.
16:09
He didn't retire. He got fired, Luke, because of
16:13
what he did. I don't know what it is, but he
16:17
must have done something. He.
16:20
I think he's think, was he meant to be coming back?
16:24
Oh, I don't know. I mean, if she's listening to
16:26
the community, maybe. Hang on.
16:28
Yeah, Larry. Because I used to.
16:30
While I didn't quite follow him a lot, I used to sometimes
16:33
watching YouTube stuff. He has hinted at a possible Xbox
16:39
return. Yeah.
16:41
All right. Because he's sort of always been
16:45
like the the face of Xbox and yeah, like I got a shock when he
16:50
left, but that also shows how much I used to watch what he
16:54
did. Yeah, I just.
16:56
He was almost like, yeah, he he, I associate him so much with
17:02
Xbox when yeah, they said that he was they were fired
17:05
specifically. He was just like what?
17:07
Like, yeah, just such a strange, Yeah, you feel.
17:12
Like he moved off to Unity. Yes.
17:16
Yeah. And he was laid off, Yeah.
17:20
Yeah, fired is not the right quote, the right word, but it's
17:22
funny. You're just fired.
17:24
So I did. But also makes you wonder how
17:27
much you should get paid. Yeah, yeah, he might have been a
17:33
money sink. Yes, yeah.
17:36
Speaking of money sinks, do you know Peter Molyneux?
17:42
Yes. Creator of Populist, Dungeon
17:44
Keeper, Black and White, and other such games.
17:47
The one that used to how do I put this?
17:51
He would lie about stuff to see if people were paying attention.
17:56
Sure. Yeah.
17:58
So he's, I, I didn't hear about this.
18:02
This is a very long article that I you know, if you're if this
18:07
sounds interesting to you, please give it a read.
18:08
But he's got a new game coming out called Masters of Albion or
18:15
something. Oh, I think I saw something
18:19
about this. It Masters of Albion.
18:21
Which? Makes it sound like Fable right?
18:23
Which Albion? Definitely sounds Fable Y,
18:26
although I don't think he's allowed to do Fable because
18:28
Microsoft owns. That because I own it but Fable
18:31
is set in Albion. Yeah, but so you could call it
18:33
Masters of Albion shop and it looks like Fable if you look at
18:35
the screenshot, sort of. But the the controversy about it
18:38
is that this game was apparently funded using the money that they
18:43
made on some other game called Legacy, which a lot of people
18:48
seem to be saying was a crypto scam.
18:52
Was that the one? No.
18:54
Was that a different one where you had to click the block and
18:56
whoever managed to click the last block and get to the centre
18:59
became the ruler or something? Or is that a different game I'm
19:03
thinking of? He did.
19:05
Yeah, I don't know about that. There was, but there was like an
19:09
NFC land plot thing on the map here and it basically like it
19:16
was the idea was that if you invested money because of
19:21
because of the game used crypto, you would make money and then.
19:26
That's not how that works. And from what I can gather, they
19:30
made a bunch of money and then the game just didn't do
19:34
anything. And then they were like, oh,
19:35
we've got a lot of money now, let's make another game.
19:37
That's what people are saying anyway, is that basically, and
19:41
then now they're being asked to, you know, pay for this other
19:45
game. And it's like, well.
19:49
See, I, I can't see Peter doing that.
19:52
I can see people that he worked with doing it.
19:56
But like, I, I suppose. Yeah.
19:58
But he's not going to acknowledge that, is he?
19:59
Because he's. Yeah.
20:01
Yeah, you can't. But I don't know, it's like.
20:06
Oh yeah, so the Pico Town Star earnings came just before the
20:10
announcement of the initial NFT sale.
20:12
So it started off super high and went to nothing as all rug pools
20:15
do. Yes, yeah.
20:18
And it's like, yeah, it's one of those.
20:19
Did he not know what a rug pool was?
20:22
And he also got scammed like some like other people, like
20:24
when the one of the more recent ones that people were like, was
20:28
this intentional? And it was that Hawk tour girl?
20:31
Oh yes, they did a rug pool. She did a rug pool and she was
20:34
insisting no, no, no, it wasn't a rug pull or whatever.
20:37
And people were like, yes, it fucking was.
20:39
You just don't know what that is.
20:41
And you've got she didn't. And as well, yeah, she got a
20:43
bunch of money. She's she got paid.
20:46
She I think she got paid $150,000 for it.
20:49
Yeah, we should use it. So she got paid, but I made the
20:52
people. Money was the.
20:53
People who made it, yet the people who were behind it, who
20:57
went, hey, do this, they made a hell of a lot more.
21:00
So I think she got screwed over because that was the end of her
21:04
career. Yeah, I've not heard much about
21:06
her since. Is she still Hawking on things
21:09
or? I don't know.
21:12
Have to have an only fans by now, wouldn't she?
21:14
Talk to a girl, she's still around.
21:17
OK, I haven't just heard anything about her and.
21:23
OK so she's goffed up on TikTok according to this, but yeah it
21:31
doesn't look she's doing much. Tried to explain herself this
21:37
time last year. Yep.
21:41
Yeah, I don't know, but yeah. So yeah, you think maybe Peter
21:45
Mullen, you got taken in by the same kind of thing.
21:47
Maybe because. He's hard to make a game though.
21:52
Surely he must have had some idea of how this all worked.
21:55
Yeah, but if you don't quite know how crypto works, you've
21:58
got these guys coming going. You do this and but also it was
22:06
never going to work. You can't invest into a game and
22:09
then it's going to pay you to play it.
22:10
It doesn't work. Yeah, I guess I don't really
22:13
understand that. It's like the Jake Paul thing
22:15
too with the. Yeah, what Cryptozool or
22:17
whatever it was. Yeah, it's just like, I don't
22:20
know these things at this point. I mean this is a while back so
22:23
maybe people could be forgiven for not knowing, but at this
22:26
point I feel like we just need to tell these people to fuck off
22:30
whenever they come up with an idea like this.
22:32
Well, there are so many. There are sites just dedicated
22:35
to rug pulling and people still invest in them because they know
22:39
people. Don't know.
22:41
Well, no, a lot of them, some of them are like they know if
22:43
they're getting like early enough and sell right away.
22:46
Oh, they want to try and. Take advantage and there's the
22:49
people who are and and people are just hoping that they might
22:55
be lucky and get on to the next big thing.
22:57
Yeah, yeah, because, because Bitcoin.
23:01
There's Bitcoin. There's Ethereum.
23:04
Yeah, well, it doesn't work like that.
23:08
That's the problem is that it's always something that you don't
23:11
expect. Like that was figures.
23:13
I was talking to someone about this the other day.
23:15
You know, like when when the prequels came out and we went to
23:20
the midnight launch of all the toys and bought a bunch of toys
23:23
and then ripped them open in the parking lot and everyone was
23:26
like, you're crazy. And we're like, these aren't
23:27
going to be worth shit. Who was right with that?
23:31
They have they have made millions of these pieces of junk
23:36
because they this is not the same as the original toys.
23:39
Yeah, it's 1970. It's not.
23:41
Yeah, it's 19. It's not 1977 where they didn't
23:44
even have any to sell at Christmas and they sold you an
23:47
empty box. Yeah.
23:48
It's just that was a unique situation.
23:50
Yep, it's the same with comic books now.
23:53
Like, yeah, yeah, comic books you buy today are not going to
23:56
be worth anything. In no, even the ones that are
23:58
like variant covers that they try to make some kind of
24:02
scarcity, those are kind of can be worth a little bit, but it's
24:04
like they have to men and they engineer it somewhat.
24:08
Yeah, you're not going to be selling that for $1,000,000 at
24:11
any time. I.
24:12
Wouldn't have thought so. Comics in general, actually.
24:15
I know some somebody, someone's got a huge comic collection,
24:19
some guy I think in New York somewhere, and he said that he
24:21
somewhat regrets it because he thought it was going to be his
24:24
retirement. Plan.
24:26
And it just hasn't worked out that way.
24:28
Like they're not worth that much money.
24:30
No. They're not like they're not
24:31
worth nothing. But it's not what he expected.
24:34
Yeah, yeah, he's, he's, he can sell them all for probably more
24:38
than what he paid for, but by a few dollars.
24:41
But he thought I was going to make millions because you look
24:43
at stuff like the, you know, the first issue of I was Action
24:46
Comics 15 or whatever with Superman.
24:48
And it's like, yeah, but at the time they didn't know that comic
24:51
was going to be worth a billion dollars.
24:53
It was just a freaking comic that they made.
24:55
Yeah. And that's the point is because
24:57
at the time it wasn't valuable and no one wanted it.
24:59
And then and. People didn't know it was going
25:02
to be worth something. That's sort of like the most
25:03
expensive of the Star Wars figures, even from back in the
25:07
day. They're the ones no one
25:09
purchased. Yeah, yeah.
25:10
Or the the the the the mistakes. Yeah.
25:16
Yeah. Like, yeah, it's the ones that
25:19
sit on the shelf forever. They're the ones that might be
25:22
worth something one day because they're the ones that become
25:25
scarce. They're not the ones that
25:26
everyone brought 3 copies of. Yeah.
25:29
Exactly. I still like my collection
25:31
though. Yeah, of course.
25:32
Well, yeah, it just buy things you like.
25:36
Don't try to guess what's going to be valuable, because it's
25:39
probably. Not going to work out, but yeah,
25:40
I buy in a box. I open it right away.
25:42
I don't care. I'm never going to start.
25:44
It's never going to be worth anything.
25:46
Or if I did, I made a huge mistake and it's done.
25:49
Yeah, I mean, I've sold. I sold some stuff recently
25:52
because I had collectible figures like these Tim Burton
25:56
things that I'd bought years and years ago, and I looked at it
25:58
and I was like, oh, actually worth a couple 100 bucks.
26:00
Sorry, I'll sell those, but I'm not retiring.
26:02
On it, no. It's just I'm just like doing me
26:06
no good sitting in a in the base.
26:07
But they probably weren't like you didn't buy them for five or
26:11
$10 either. You probably spent a bit of
26:13
money on them, I'm guessing. Probably like 30-40 bucks back.
26:17
In the yeah, yeah. And then so like, I mean, it's a
26:20
good return, but good. Return but.
26:23
Well, is it because I had to move them from Australia to
26:25
America at some? Point Yeah, it probably cost you
26:26
that much to move it. It wasn't cheap and then you did
26:29
nothing with it. No, they've literally just been
26:32
in the basement in a box. And then I opened the box and I
26:35
went, oh fuck, I've still got these.
26:36
I should sell these. It's fun opening boxes that you
26:39
don't forget what's in them. Yeah, cool stuff.
26:43
I know. And you go, you get a wave of
26:44
like, oh cool, my stuff. And then I was like, what am I
26:47
doing with this? Like, I didn't even remember
26:50
that I had this. Like, yeah, I think it's time to
26:53
sell it. But look, let's jump back to
26:57
games. Sure, there's a game coming out
27:00
that I'm so happy you're getting a sequel to.
27:03
Go on, there's. Ali in Isolation 2.
27:06
Oh yeah. That that was a great game.
27:09
It was a bit of a sleeper hit because I know it wasn't super
27:12
popular at the time, like it didn't make its money back right
27:16
away, but I think it. No, I mean it's very well
27:20
regarded now. Yes, but I don't think it was at
27:24
the time. I think a lot of people liked
27:26
it, but I don't think it sold until much.
27:28
Like very like difficult I guess.
27:31
And like and scary. Yeah.
27:33
And like I, I just gave up on it because it was just, you know,
27:39
the stealthies, you know, it's not, not even the alien.
27:41
There's fucking androids. Like it's like, no, I'm good.
27:45
But maybe I should give it another shot.
27:46
Does it have an easy mode yet? It does where I don't know how
27:52
it does for the androids, but it makes alien like the easiest
27:55
thing in the world to hide from. Like you can basically hide in a
27:59
cupboard right in front of it and it'll go.
28:00
I don't know where you went. Where did they go?
28:03
Yeah, OK. But I mean, yeah, I mean the the
28:08
atmosphere and the like, the design and everything.
28:11
Yeah, the tone like. Hold on.
28:14
Yeah, you nailed it. And I wonder if you're still
28:18
playing as Ellen Ripley. No, I come on, doesn't it say?
28:23
15 years after it plays, you're showing the shoes.
28:26
Original. That's the original.
28:27
Alien doesn't say. Yeah, but it looks like you're
28:33
on a planet from the team, like, and then they're like, oh, is it
28:38
LV 426? Which makes sense.
28:43
Does it? Oh, it does if it's not.
28:46
Yeah, it does it just, well, it does depending on when it's set,
28:51
Yeah, and and all that stuff. But I'll definitely play through
28:54
this again or try and finish it because I couldn't finish the
28:57
first one because like, I'm not good with horror games.
29:00
I'm really not sometimes. Just.
29:03
Stress. Gets to me now and I'm thinking
29:05
about it, right, because Hadley's Hope, right?
29:08
There's a there's a window there where it could be set on
29:12
Hadley's Hope, the window where they found the derelict ship and
29:18
when Ripley and the marines arrive.
29:20
So it would be set inside that window.
29:22
But then also because it's a video game and because of, you
29:27
know, the first one had a bunch of stuff in it, I feel like if
29:30
they were going to do that, they're going to add a bunch of
29:32
shit that's going to annoy me. Yes, it'll be like this wasn't
29:36
in any of the movies like. As.
29:40
It's like, as in like there'll be fucking androids running
29:42
around. It's like, no, no, no, well,
29:43
they didn't have that. Why didn't we see those?
29:46
Yeah, because they could do it. Because wasn't the special
29:49
edition where they actually start off with them finding the
29:53
ship? There's an addition of aliens.
29:56
When they go out, they find yeah, and then they go back.
30:00
And they could do that, but yeah.
30:04
Like you can play as someone who just lived.
30:07
But I think that that'd be a very different game into
30:10
isolation though, because isolation is more about you
30:13
being by yourself first. This is there were gunfights.
30:16
There were like full on gunfights.
30:19
I'm talking about, not just the. Yeah, yeah.
30:22
So I feel like it'd be potentially weird to do that.
30:26
And if it's not that, where is it?
30:29
I guess we'll find out. Well, as we know, that could be
30:31
on any planet now. Yes, including Earth.
30:36
Yep. Yes.
30:40
They've been to Earth a few times, haven't they?
30:42
Oh man. I didn't like that show.
30:50
I watched it all. I didn't like it though.
30:52
I liked bits of it, like there's stuff in there I like, but
30:55
overall like this. This make mess messes up too
30:59
many things for me. Messes up my vibe of the whole
31:03
thing. Yeah, I haven't finished it yet.
31:06
I will finish it, but yeah, just.
31:10
Yeah. Bit weird.
31:13
Yeah, not for me. Yeah.
31:20
Well, while we're on movies, you've developed an interest in
31:25
a movie, it seems. Oh, yes, so remember, I've been
31:32
talking about how Felicia Day has been doing the same thing
31:35
that Nathan Fillion did with the Oh, that's.
31:38
Not what I meant by that, but we're sure we can talk about
31:39
this. You developed a taste for that
31:42
for Felicia Day a long time ago. Oh yeah, did, did very long time
31:47
ago. There's something I didn't like
31:48
about. So they, they, they're talking
31:50
about now they're going to make a movie.
31:51
Yeah, the Guild reunion movie. The most depressing thing I
31:55
heard about the when they were talking about it is when they
31:58
said to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Guild coming out
32:03
and I'm going. It cannot have been that long.
32:07
Wow. Yeah, OK.
32:10
So it was 20 years ago the Guild came out, but they're going to
32:12
be kick starting it soon. Yeah, I saw the video.
32:16
They're all back together, which is.
32:18
It was very interesting to see them all back together.
32:20
Which? Well, I think they've always
32:21
been friends and no. That's good.
32:24
Like you know, they're all I don't know, it's just they just
32:28
seem like they're odd bunch, which I think was intentional
32:33
right when when she did the Guild like because you look at
32:36
them and you go that's not a group of friends.
32:38
There's a like random people, you know what I mean?
32:41
Yeah. Which I think was intentional.
32:43
Like is it the older guy and the the mum and then there's the the
32:46
young? Like it's just, you know, it's
32:48
yeah, yeah. So it's just nice that they are
32:51
actually all friends. I was like, that's so
32:53
interesting and cool. So it's.
32:57
Yeah. So they haven't actually, the
32:59
Kickstarter's not live yet. They've just come out to say,
33:01
hey, it's launching sooner, signs will build up to get it.
33:04
I think they'll get it done quite easily.
33:07
Yeah, you're very surprised if they don't.
33:09
Yeah, it's a launch Oracle, not Kickstarter launch Oracle.
33:15
No, it's on Kickstarter as well. Is it?
33:18
Yeah. OK.
33:21
What's launch? I don't know what did she say it
33:24
was. That's what she's linked to
33:25
launch Oracle. Oh, I think that's just that's.
33:29
Just a landing page. A landing page.
33:32
It's actually going to be on Kickstarter that they're going
33:34
to do it. All right, Cool, but bring it
33:38
in. I'll watch it.
33:39
I'll pay for it. I got to re watch the the old
33:43
ones now I guess. Well, it doesn't take you long.
33:46
Yeah, I suppose so. I still like the fact that the
33:49
reason why she made this was actually I think it was just
33:52
after she was working on Doctor Horrible's Sing along blog or no
33:56
or it. Was after.
33:57
There's other reason, other way around apparently.
33:59
Yeah, that when the writers strike happened, she said to
34:04
Joss. We yeah, you could just make
34:06
something, you know, and put it on the Internet.
34:09
Yeah, yeah, I did. But she'll I think Joss also
34:12
gave her the idea for it, like just to go make something like
34:17
he actually like he went like he went you're a bit weird.
34:21
Do something yourself to. And then she made that.
34:24
Yeah. So then that led to.
34:28
Man they look so young in these old clips it's going to be weird
34:32
to rewatch this 20 years ago. That's fucking.
34:34
Weird. 20 years ago. Yeah, that that's just wrong.
34:38
Yeah, yeah, you don't have your signed iPad anymore.
34:43
I don't I got my signed photo of her.
34:47
Oh yeah. Along with my signed napkin from
34:50
Jennifer Hale. Crusty napkin.
34:58
I've got my signed copy of Mass Effect 3 from Jennifer Hale.
35:01
I've got my memory of talking to Felicia Day very briefly and
35:05
then you being very angry at me because I wasn't allowed to it.
35:09
Was actually quite good, even though I wasn't angry angry.
35:13
No, I know. I know.
35:14
I know, I know, I know. But we actually was lucky we got
35:17
to talk to her for quite some time.
35:19
Yeah, yeah. Because it was just we were sort
35:23
of blast in line before the coming up to her break and then
35:25
going, oh, you might not be able to get the seat.
35:27
And I'm sort of like, well, no, no, we have to see her now
35:30
because we're catching a flight and we can't come back for the
35:33
next signing. And so were the last ones there.
35:36
And then, yeah, we sat and spoke to her for 5-10 minutes.
35:39
So it was quite nice. I know.
35:40
And then so Luke jokingly told me I wasn't allowed to talk to
35:45
her because she was his. Yes, and but I waited in line
35:50
with you because you know, I'm a friend.
35:52
And then you went up and you got your see your stuff sign and
35:54
everything. And then they were like all
35:57
right next. And I was like, Oh no, I'm not.
35:58
And then I was like, you know what, fuck, I just waited in
36:00
this fucking line for what, an hour?
36:02
I'm going to talk to her. So I went up and I know, I said.
36:05
Something stupid? Yeah, well, what else would we
36:08
say it was? Of course it's going to be shoot
36:09
I. Think I told her I liked her
36:11
appearance on that fucking podcast with TB and and Dodger
36:16
and everybody. Oh yes, he was like, oh OK,
36:19
thanks. And then I remember afterwards
36:20
thinking it was a fucking weird thing to tell her.
36:22
Like, yeah, that's really a very specific thing that you're
36:25
coming at nothing. She's acted in this podcast.
36:29
You're on one episode. Not this fucking series you made
36:32
or anything like that. Yeah, Oh, you were good on this
36:34
fucking random podcast you appeared on.
36:36
So only because she was Dodger. Yeah, I know, I know.
36:44
I'm aware. Is she still doing anything
36:47
Dodger? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:51
She's a still streams and does YouTube and stuff like that.
36:53
Yeah. I mean, she lives in the UK now
36:55
and she got married with at least one kid and whatnot.
36:58
Like so obviously different vibe to the Elden days.
37:01
Yeah. Yeah, it's funny.
37:02
Yeah, Dodger. I never really followed.
37:04
Never really. Yeah, that's fair.
37:06
Enough. But you were sure I was mine.
37:08
Say it like. That no, yeah, packs were at
37:17
that they were they were at and it's weird to how do I get ATV
37:22
die? Fucking hell, that's going to be
37:24
a while ago now. Actually, I yeah, Total Biscuit
37:27
died in 2018. Almost what, like 8 years ago?
37:31
Eight years ago now, yeah. Yeah, it's nuts anyway.
37:43
But what you were originally hinting at is something else
37:46
that has grown on me. Yeah, the Masters of the
37:50
Universe trailer. I've seen it a couple of times
37:54
more, and a new one, and it's starting to go.
37:56
I might like this. Really.
38:00
All right, Good. I don't know what it is and I'll
38:02
probably see the trailer a couple more times this week
38:04
because we're going to go to the movies this week because there's
38:06
a couple of things that came out, but.
38:08
I don't know it's you must go to the movies a lot, you know,
38:11
because that's where you're seeing it, right?
38:13
I mean I see trailers on YouTube when I look them up but.
38:15
You're actually no, I only see trailers at the movies.
38:19
Yeah, last thing I saw was Project Hail Mary and I'm
38:21
unlikely to see anything else anytime soon.
38:23
Well, no, I'm going to go see Mortal Kombat 2 this week and
38:28
the sheep detectives. People are unhappy with you
38:30
saying Mortal Kombat 1 was good, by the way.
38:33
I don't know why. Actually, people were mad at you
38:37
saying that Street Fighter didn't look good as well.
38:40
No, they were upset. They they they called me up for
38:42
who am I to judge? When I look I've got coloured
38:45
hair and fusing don't. Worry about that person.
38:48
That person's obviously an. Idiot.
38:50
Well, I just said, look, it's a bit over the top for me.
38:54
And hey, if Street Fighter Movie wants to make fun of me, go
38:57
ahead. The Street Fighter movie
38:59
hopefully has a scene where someone literally makes fun of
39:02
you. I hope that's true.
39:04
Yeah. All right.
39:04
But you're into Masters of the Universe.
39:06
I think I am. I'm not sure yet.
39:09
I will go and see it and I'll let you know, but I'm starting
39:12
to think it's not going to be as horrible as I once thought.
39:16
All right, all right. So.
39:18
I mean, let me know I've I'm not going to watch it, so let.
39:21
Me know, I will let you know. Of course I'll let.
39:23
You know, maybe I'll watch it one day, but something I will
39:27
watch when it comes out. Have you seen Did you watch the
39:29
teaser trailer for Zach Kreger's Resident Evil?
39:33
I have not. Looks pretty good.
39:37
People were a bit sceptical about as we talked about this
39:39
back in the day. Wasn't this the one where was
39:43
meant to be like lots of 1 liners or something?
39:45
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was, there was it was like a road trip
39:48
comedy or whatever. I mean, it doesn't, it fucking
39:50
doesn't look like one from this trailer.
39:52
It looks pretty sick. So I think maybe there's been a
39:55
misunderstanding or or something because so this looks cool and
40:00
then people are upset. Well, so now they're upset that
40:05
it's not a one liner road trip movie.
40:07
No, they're upset that Leon's not in it, and it's not about
40:11
the stuff that's in the games. And then he did an AMA on Reddit
40:14
and he said, well, yeah, the game's already told that story.
40:18
I don't want to tell that story. I'm telling the story of someone
40:20
else. And then it takes place around
40:25
the time of Resident Evil 2, but to somebody else, like it's what
40:29
somebody else was doing during that period.
40:31
And it's like, yeah, OK, good. I think that's.
40:35
That's good. This is what we also say they
40:36
should be doing if you want to, if you want.
40:38
To know what Leon was doing during the time of Resident Evil
40:41
2. Play the game.
40:43
Play the game. Yeah.
40:45
And then you'll be doing what he was doing because you're doing
40:48
it, Yeah. Yeah, I, I, no, it's, I think
40:53
it's good to tell a different story.
40:54
And I think they're very set a precedent with the Resident Evil
40:57
movies that they're not really. Don't worry about those movies.
41:02
I don't think. I don't think anybody's.
41:05
But they made so many of. Them, I know, I know.
41:07
And they were very, they were very financially successful.
41:10
People should realise. Do people make fun of them and
41:12
including me? But people ate that shit up
41:16
apparently. I watched the first one.
41:20
Oh no watch the I saw. I saw the first two.
41:23
The first one was great and the second one got weird.
41:26
And then I think from what I saw from bits and pieces, it just
41:30
got weirder as it went. Yeah, they were like a real
41:35
mixed bag actually. I like, I think about some of
41:38
them. I think about and I go, Oh yeah,
41:39
that bit was good. And then I look, I see clips of
41:41
it and I go, I forgot that happened in it.
41:43
Like it's just, yeah, very like. Didn't she end up having like
41:45
superpowers or something? Yeah, yeah.
41:48
Yeah, yeah, she was not a zombie, but she had like a. 1000
41:53
clones of her and all this weird shit.
41:56
Yeah, I was out long before that.
41:59
Yeah, they're very odd. Yeah, but when your husband's
42:02
making them and they're making lots of money.
42:05
Yep, why not? I'll watch the first one again.
42:11
The first one is good. I quite like the first one.
42:13
Yeah, you can press. There's a movie coming out you
42:18
might be interested in in theaters.
42:21
It's called. It's a sequel to an Old movie
42:25
sequel to The Terminator. It's called Terminated 2.
42:28
You ever heard of? Two, you say?
42:29
Yeah. If you heard about this movie,
42:31
it's going to be in theaters. Maybe not in Australia actually,
42:36
but over here in the US, Terminator 2 is going to be back
42:40
in theaters. And I was like, that could be
42:42
fucking cool to go see. See I know my local movie
42:45
theatre, they will do have just random on a Saturday.
42:49
They'll have like a just an old movie that I'll put on which is
42:52
good. But this is an actual full on.
42:54
Regal Yeah, 35th anniversary if you.
42:59
Want me to and how many? The hard to go of all the
43:03
formats they're doing, the original 35 and 70 millimetres
43:08
prints, the 4K, the 3D, like they're doing just releasing
43:13
everything. You choose which one you want to
43:14
see. Yep, I don't know which one I'd
43:17
want to see actually. Yeah, I feel like the original
43:20
35 or 70 would be good, but I mean, it's just, it's a fucking
43:27
great movie. I I'd be interested in it, but
43:31
then again I could just watch it.
43:32
I don't know, it's hard, but going to the movies is a
43:36
different vibe. Well, yeah, and it's for me,
43:40
it's actually a lot easier because I don't have to worry
43:42
about children and. Yes, yeah.
43:46
So I can just go. Or them.
43:50
Well, no, I ain't going to go see a family movie this week.
43:53
What are? You going to see this week?
43:55
The sheep detectives. I've heard of that.
43:58
Oh yeah. The sheep detectives.
44:00
I saw a trailer for that for Project Hail Mary, maybe.
44:04
Yeah. Yeah.
44:06
I don't know. If Jacob gets murdered and the
44:08
sheep go and solve the murder and I just think it looks fun,
44:12
so I'm going to go see that it's.
44:13
Got pretty good reviews. OK, good.
44:17
Yeah, got some mortal combat to that this week.
44:19
I don't know if I'll see one tomorrow and 1:00 on Monday or
44:22
I'll see one on Monday and Tuesday, but I'm definitely
44:24
going to go see them and I'll give you reviews next week.
44:26
All right. So I look at the movies and I
44:28
go. I wanted to start going to
44:30
movies a lot more and I was for a bit and then the movies I had
44:35
any interest in seeing just stopped.
44:38
Right. But now we're getting a lot
44:41
coming out. Yeah.
44:43
Because like Mortal Kombat 2 ship detectives and I think in
44:47
what, 2 weeks? So something I want to watch was
44:51
something I'm going to watch. What?
44:57
Star Wars, The Mandalorian Grogum.
45:00
I was like, what are you talking about?
45:02
OK, Yeah, yeah, yeah. I keep forgetting that fucking
45:04
exists. Yeah, OK.
45:05
Yeah, that's coming out on the 21st of May.
45:08
Do you? Know what comes out on the 12th
45:11
of June? Disclosure day.
45:17
Disclosure Day, which I've got some bad news for you.
45:21
If you're interested in that movie, it may be there may be a
45:26
link between Disclosure Day and a movie of Steven Spielberg's
45:31
that you don't like about mashed potatoes.
45:35
Why does he need a sequel to a movie about mashed potatoes?
45:39
No one has that much mashed potatoes at one meal.
45:42
It's. Unrealistic.
45:44
It it isn't necessarily a sequel, but it might be a
45:49
spiritual successor and people are suggesting, I think Emily
45:54
Blunt specifically suggested that it may answer some
45:58
questions raised by close Encounters.
46:01
Why it got funded? Because it's a good movie, like,
46:06
and you're, you're, you're wrong.
46:08
But yeah, I was like, oh, that's interesting.
46:13
OK, yeah, it's been suggested by Emily Blunt and confirmed by
46:18
O'Connor that answers some questions raised by close
46:20
Encounters of the Third Kind. Yeah.
46:24
Well, the only real questions of that, because wasn't that the
46:27
aliens came back and they dropped a lot of people off that
46:32
were taken years ago and then other people went onto the ship.
46:37
Is that how I remember? It I believe that's correct,
46:39
yes, yeah. So it might be answering well.
46:46
I mean, probes do. Yeah, maybe.
46:48
Who knows? Who knows?
46:51
But I yeah, no, I think, I think that's interesting and it makes
46:56
me want to go see it. Well, I'm just trying to think
46:58
of what answers there are. I mean, tons.
47:02
There's just aliens. We don't know anything about the
47:04
aliens, you know, Why do they communicate via music where, you
47:08
know, maybe, I don't know. People still think it's a good
47:12
movie. Yeah, because it is Luke.
47:14
I still think it's a good movie. I'm thinking it right now and
47:18
I'm gonna I will watch close Encounters again before I go see
47:20
this movie, just in case. I will watch Disclosure Day.
47:23
I'll not watch the close close Encounters over again.
47:25
All right. See yourself.
47:29
Will you go see another movie that's coming out?
47:32
When does this come out? Next year, I think.
47:34
The Odyssey. I probably won't.
47:38
It depends on its runtime. Depends on whether you have to
47:41
decide on the ending yourself. That's your Christopher Nolan
47:46
generally. Which I don't think he would.
47:48
He can really do that with this movie.
47:51
You know, you don't know what he can do because I'll tell you why
47:55
he's done things already with this that have sparked debate.
47:58
OK. Have you watched the trailer for
48:00
this? No, I've seen bits of it but I I
48:03
think clips. I've never seen the actual
48:06
trailer, but I've seen bits and pieces of it.
48:09
People are taking issue with the, I guess, sort of style of
48:16
it in OK, so everybody's got American accents in it.
48:20
Even actors who are British are doing American accents.
48:25
Like basically it, it appears that he's just just decided
48:27
everybody's American. Oh, not American, but has
48:30
American accents in it, which is an interesting choice.
48:33
And people are saying, is that just because Matt Damon can't do
48:36
an accent? No, I'm serious.
48:39
People are like, is that why? Because he wanted Matt Damon
48:43
stars in it and they just wanted to make it look less silly that
48:45
he had an American accent. So maybe everybody has one now,
48:48
including like Reb Pattinson and Tom Holland, people, British
48:52
actors. Yeah, I can't think of him ever
48:55
doing like A and you can't. Do 1 and you can't do 1.
49:00
So people are like, well that's stupid, but I mean they're
49:03
making assumptions there. And then the other thing is that
49:07
the language in the. Disregard the Xbox.
49:12
Sound and that fucking Xbox. The language in the trailer is
49:19
modern, let's say. Well.
49:23
So. I'm OK with the language being
49:25
modern. Like they're saying Robert
49:29
Pattinson uses the word daddy like Tom Holland says.
49:34
Dad content, he says. Does he say daddy?
49:38
Something about you're a, you're a silly boy who misses his daddy
49:41
or something like that. And it's.
49:42
Like, oh, that's. Well, they didn't talk like that
49:44
back then. And then, and then Matt Damon's
49:46
yelling let's go. And it's like, well, they didn't
49:49
say things like that back then. And then, yeah, I don't.
49:53
Know, I think all that stuff is fine.
49:57
Yeah, it's just the the point the article here makes is that
50:00
people are pretty used to you. If you have a movie like, say
50:05
that it's The Odyssey, right? And you've got all these actors
50:07
in it. People wouldn't actually really
50:09
care if Matt Damon had an American accent, Rob Pattinson
50:12
had a British accent, Tom Holland had a British accent.
50:15
That's why I had an American accent I find weird.
50:17
People don't. People don't care about that
50:19
though. No, that's quite weird.
50:22
The language they're using is fine, it's the way they're
50:24
saying. Why force people to put on an
50:26
accent? Right, making them all sound
50:28
American as as actually more jarring than just letting them
50:32
speak their own accent. Like, for example, the example
50:34
in here is that in 300, right, Which I didn't even think about
50:37
this because you just accept it. There's fucking Scottish people,
50:41
Americans, English, Australians, yeah, all playing fucking
50:46
ancient Greeks and. It.
50:48
Actually doesn't really even matter.
50:49
Like, yeah. Well, you're not really like
50:52
paying attention to people's accents, Really.
50:54
It's like people have been trained just to ignore that at
50:57
this point. OK.
51:01
Yeah. And and also the the convention
51:04
for for a long time has been if you're doing a movie like this
51:08
and you're going to make everybody do an accent, then
51:11
it's stage English accent. Like they're all supposed to
51:16
talk like this. All right, well, we'll see what
51:20
happens. I'm.
51:22
I honestly don't know if I'm going to go see it.
51:25
I will I I'll be say I'll say this, though, the trailer didn't
51:28
wow me. Like it looks good, but like the
51:30
trailer didn't really grab me. But then trailers for
51:34
Christopher Nolan movies often don't.
51:37
And then I, I mean, I loved Oppenheimer, but I the trailers
51:40
for that didn't grab me so. I still think that physical
51:45
effect bomb could have just been done better with special
51:48
effects. Yeah, well, suit yourself.
51:52
I don't mean I don't disagree. Yeah, yeah.
51:55
It just seemed like they made a big deal about it being like all
51:58
practical. And then it was just, oh.
52:01
I know with the implication being blew up some part of the
52:05
country which he didn't but. But no, I can give you a rundown
52:09
of the movies that I've got on my list to see go on for the
52:12
rest of the year at the moment. So I've got Sheep Detectives,
52:15
Mortal Kombat 2, The Mandalorian, and Grogu movie.
52:20
Unfortunately. What else we got?
52:23
We've got Scary Movie, just because I like that movie that
52:28
comes out the same day as Masters of the Universe, which
52:30
I'll go see. Disclosure Day.
52:35
Evil Dead Burn. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
52:37
Trailer for that looks. Pretty cool that comes out the
52:39
week before the Odyssey. So the odyssey?
52:42
I'm still spider man. I thought that was next year.
52:45
July 16th July is it. Fucking hell all.
52:48
Right the 9th of July for with Ed and then the week after for
52:52
odyssey. Yeah.
52:55
Spider man brand new day super troopers 3 and one I'm really
52:59
looking forward to No, that's Tom Drew.
53:01
Forbidden cases. That's not what it is.
53:02
Where's the Acme 10? Oh, Coyote versus Acme.
53:09
Yeah, why is that on this list yet?
53:15
Yeah. Then Resident Evil, Street
53:17
Fighter? Yep.
53:20
Avengers Doom Day. Oh.
53:22
God, yeah. I'll go see it it.
53:26
Might be all right. Well, I liked Fantastic Four, so
53:31
I'm hoping it's changed direction a lot.
53:34
I've. Seen Fantastic Four.
53:37
You should. It'll be on Disney Plus now if
53:38
you're. Oh, no, I yeah, yeah, I know it
53:42
is. I just I keep forgetting it
53:44
exists. Yeah.
53:46
Yeah. That's about it at the moment.
53:48
Are you going to watch this is TV?
53:50
Are you going to watch Spider Noir?
53:54
The Marvel stuff. Hell yes.
53:57
It's pretty fucking good. There's a full trailer for it
53:59
now, and I got to say it looks really good.
54:02
I might have to I'm going to have to watch this trailer
54:04
because I can't wait go to the movies and see it, but I just
54:06
can't believe that Nick Cage gets to be Spider Man it.
54:10
Looks it looks really good. It looks like like a, you know,
54:14
the the shadow style noir sort of would look a little less.
54:19
And I love the fact that they're doing 1 black and white and one
54:23
colour like it's yeah, yeah. Because either way you want.
54:28
Yeah, because I know there will be some people who go black and
54:30
white and just not, not for me. So I like the fact that there's
54:33
the option. Yeah, yeah, it's going to be
54:36
cool. Oh.
54:37
We have long to wait. That comes out at the end of
54:38
this month. Yeah, Yep.
54:42
And yes, Nicolas Cage as a private detective version of
54:47
Spider Man in a, you know, 1950s style noir like series.
54:55
I mean it's the character from Across the Spider verse.
54:59
Yep. Yeah, and a stickless cage.
55:03
I know it's yeah. It's just amazing that they
55:06
managed to to make that exist. I'm happy that's I'll watch.
55:10
It I don't know if it's something he's always wanted to
55:13
do or if it's the fact he hasn't been in the movie for a while.
55:16
They. Didn't know this was an option I
55:17
guess. I guess I don't think he has to
55:20
do that anymore. There was a period there where
55:22
he apparently owed so much money that he.
55:24
Had to be anything. Yeah, he just had to do movies.
55:26
He couldn't say no. Same like same with Johnny Depp.
55:29
I don't know. So they'll both Oscar Wilde.
55:32
Yeah, yeah, right. Just.
55:39
See, because I can believe it with Johnny Depp.
55:42
I find it hard with Nick Cage. Yeah.
55:46
I didn't think he would be quite as silly with money.
55:48
I know Johnny Depp was ridiculous with it.
55:50
Like even after his court case where you just hide out an
55:53
Indian restaurant for everyone in the court case.
55:55
Yeah, no, yeah, there's that article about Johnny Depp's
55:59
spending where his account resigned and was like, I can't
56:03
deal with this guy. You're not listening to anything
56:05
I'm telling you to do. Why am I here?
56:09
Yeah, apparently. And drinking like thousands of
56:13
dollars of bottles of wine and things. 10s of thousands you'll
56:16
buy again. Cake is a very, very expensive
56:18
wine that's supposed to be an investment.
56:21
And we would. Drink it all.
56:22
Drink it like, drink it like I drink.
56:25
Yeah, that's why I drink cheap stuff.
56:28
Yeah, you're, you're. Nothing to do.
56:31
You're you're a frugal mess. Oh, you've moved on from VB, I
56:35
see. Yeah, I'm now on to my Santori.
56:40
Santori. 196 Double Lemon. Double Lemon.
56:48
Vodka, sochu and soda. Oh, OK, Shoju.
56:52
Sochu. Soju.
56:53
That's Korean. That's good, actually.
56:55
All right, that sounds. Good.
56:56
I actually quite like these. They're actually quite nice.
56:58
Yeah, soju is fucking delicious. All right, there's a game I've
57:03
been playing. I'm going to guess, would it be
57:07
June? I have been playing that, but
57:11
there's another game I've been playing by the same company.
57:15
Yeah, Conan Exiled Enhanced came out.
57:18
How does it look? It looks fucking awesome, like
57:22
does. It look like a different game.
57:25
No, because it like it is the same game.
57:28
It's just like, it's like, I don't know, it just looks so
57:33
good. Like basically.
57:34
So they've they've just upgraded the whole game to Unreal Engine
57:38
5. It's got all new art assets.
57:41
The UI is better and everything but I mean it's the same game.
57:45
I just, I just, it's amazing. It must be just so easy to work
57:50
with because games are just going look, we're just going to
57:52
redo it in Unreal 5 and just it's the same game.
57:54
But like, so I started a new game, I made a character.
57:58
The character models are all there's all new options every
58:00
they all look fucking incredible and they have a big Dick.
58:04
Women don't have Dicks, Luke. Well, I'm sorry, shouldn't say
58:08
that. You know, that's not anyway the
58:14
so I know I made my way out of the desert to noob river and I
58:18
built, you know, I did the first initial things and then built
58:21
myself a shelter and stuff like that.
58:22
And I sent you guys a screenshot and then I sent the screenshot
58:26
and then Dan replied. Holy shit.
58:29
Because looks like incredible. I just love the fact I still
58:35
just funkhom give all credit like it's a game that.
58:39
They did not need to do this. They're.
58:41
Not making. Any money out of this?
58:43
It's a free update and like unless people are going to buy
58:45
it now, which I mean maybe. I reckon they would probably get
58:49
a few more sales, but not. As I mean, I don't see how this
58:53
was financially viable. I'm happy that it happened but
58:56
I'm just so confused by it. And then still no plans to do it
58:59
for the consoles at this time. Which well, I think.
59:04
That maybe just because on consoles they're definitely not
59:07
going to get new sales, maybe, I don't know.
59:09
Maybe or they're just looking, well, they know the amount of
59:13
people who are playing the game. So they, I know that's what I
59:16
know. They're probably more people
59:17
there. They can see it's just Dan on
59:20
Xbox. Yeah.
59:21
Like and do we want to invest that much money on Dan?
59:25
Probably not. Yeah, no.
59:27
But they know he's very busy these days.
59:29
Yes. But he's going to get busier.
59:34
Yes, and I mean, it's fucking great.
59:36
Like I just think it's obviously I didn't know this was going to
59:42
happen. I just randomly wanted to play
59:45
Kodan Exiles again. Like what?
59:47
What? A couple of weeks ago.
59:49
And. And then now this has happened
59:52
and I'm like what the fuck That's weird.
59:56
What if you just saw something unconsciously pop up?
59:59
Or is it just real, maybe random timing that well?
1:00:03
Because I bought the PC version of it well, I did actually so
1:00:07
the reason I I think the reason that I felt the urge to play it
1:00:11
was because I've been playing dune awakening.
1:00:13
I've been watching Dune Awakening videos on YouTube, and
1:00:16
so YouTube was also the same creators, yes, doing Conan XL's
1:00:23
content. And I saw a Conan XL's video and
1:00:25
I was like, oh, that's right. That game's fun and that's why.
1:00:28
And then just coincidentally, like a week in, I bought the
1:00:31
game on PC, been playing on G Force Cloud, and then a week
1:00:34
later they're like surprise. I have this really great update.
1:00:40
See, I never, we never got far when we played it because I kept
1:00:42
resending our server, but there's so much content in that
1:00:45
game we got nowhere near to. There is a town A A a fucking
1:00:50
shipping city village thing over on one side of the map.
1:00:54
We've never even been over that side of the map like.
1:00:57
We had our at the starting little bit.
1:01:00
We had a little crappy camp. Yeah, yours was quite good.
1:01:03
I had a crappy little camp. Have you ever even been to the
1:01:06
town that's kind of near us? There was a town near us.
1:01:10
Yeah, see, that's what I mean. Like.
1:01:12
No, I had, there was an iron sort of.
1:01:16
I knew where iron was and it would spawn.
1:01:17
I just kept going, get ironing, mining it and coming back and
1:01:20
getting more iron and coming back and that's all I did in
1:01:22
that game. Well, there's a, there's a whole
1:01:24
town slash city like you're supposed to be, and that's where
1:01:28
Conan is. Conan's there you can go talk
1:01:29
to. Him.
1:01:30
Oh yeah. Didn't know he was there.
1:01:32
Yeah, there you go. I should.
1:01:34
Maybe look into that. It's.
1:01:36
A good game but you won't be able to play it enhanced on your
1:01:40
Xbox because. No, and I doubt they're going to
1:01:43
invest the money in it. I just don't think it's.
1:01:46
And we'll see if it's. Worth it for them.
1:01:48
If it generates revenue, maybe they will.
1:01:51
Yeah, yeah, seems unlikely. Yeah, that's it.
1:01:58
But you know what we do to generate revenue?
1:02:01
We're not going to talk about that, are we?
1:02:03
No, no, no, no. This is the after party.
1:02:05
I'm talking about Patreon. Yeah, Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
1:02:08
Yeah, yeah. So yeah, we do have a Patreon.
1:02:12

1:02:15

where it really comes into the $5 a month where you get to
1:02:22
listen to the after party where we're going to continue talking
1:02:24
for a little bit longer about more random stuff and have we
1:02:27
have a couple of contenders for Geek of the Week.
1:02:30
We do. Geek of the Week is when
1:02:31
somebody has died and Luke can just decides who's the best
1:02:34
person who's died this week. And it might be nobody if nobody
1:02:37
is good, but are we going to discuss that?
1:02:40
We've got some, there's some other game news we can talk
1:02:43
about. We've got a few things we can
1:02:45
talk about so. There's all my stuff.
1:02:47
We're going to keep talking for for a while here.
