• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the studio. It's a JD. He's got his tech talk
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for us today. Games are there, so a bunch of
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: games today. Just a couple, just a couple. They're good.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: JD is also the one of the hosts of the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: three Big Gamer Show, which is a podcast you can
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: find every Tuesday, new episodes every Tuesday. Yep, and an
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: he makes cookies. Yeah, all of it. All right, what
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: do you got for us? So?
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: First up, this one is probably the one that's gonna
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: appear on everyone's radar this month. This is the Oblivion
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the Elder Scrolls for Oblivion remastered. If you guys are
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: familiar with Skyrim, Skrim's part of a series called the
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Elder Scrolls, and this was the Skyrim was the fifth one.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: This is the fourth one came out in two thousand
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: and six. It didn't receive quite the acclaim that Skyrim did,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: but it's still an awesome game. It's the same, very
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: similar gameplay. You're it's a high fantasy world and it's
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: a first person thing. So you're walking and you see
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: your sword in front of you, and you have magic
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: and and bow and arrow and just everything that you
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: might expect in like a you know, a high fantasy
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: epic movie, and you're just fighting monsters in this one.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Back in the day, you were going to the realm,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the nether Realm of Oblivion, which is essentially like whatever
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: fantasy hell. I guess, all these gates open up across
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: this continent and you are figuring trying to figure out
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: why you're going into the gates, fighting demons coming out
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of the gates, dealing with politically intrigue on the continent.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: It's awesome.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was an awesome game in two thousand
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and six, and what they have done is completely overhauled it,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: remastered it. I mean that was like two consoles again
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: is the Xbox three sixty and the PS three, and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: now it's been optimized for modern consoles. It's out and
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: now on Xbox PlayStation and PC if you have Xbox
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Game Pass, it's free.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, there you go. So did they improve the graphics.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, graphics were overhauled. There's a lot of other
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: like gameplay things that they've improved. This is not necessarily
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: just like a new shiny coat of paint. They have
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: definitely worked under the hood to improve this game from
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: what it was in two thousand and six. It's absolutely
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: kind of a modern take. Again, this isn't the epic,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: incredible game that Skyrim was, but it's still awesome. And
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: if you are kind of looking for a Skyrim fix
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: or kind of a Fantasy fix, you could do much
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: worse than the Elder Scrolls four of Living remastered. Look
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: it's dope. Yeah, no, this is a must play if
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: you liked Skyrim basically. And then this next one, on
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a completely other side, is called and this one is
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: trending quite a bit.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: It is called Schedule one.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Seen it's a lot on streaming TikTok stuff like that.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: This is a drug empire simulator. Okay, you start out
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: with an RV and you build a drug empire. Basically,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: it's breaking yeah, exactly, it's breaking bad the video game.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: It's a management sim So I've kind of discussed these
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: types of games before. You may have seen like kind
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: of think like Stardoo Valley even in a small way
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: up Minecraft kind of fits this bill.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: But you start for your young entrepreneurs exactly.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: You get a practice growing and selling weed and you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: maintaining a customer base and being a responsive dealer.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Can teach you a lot of things. Or when you
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: go out and do it.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: For real, Yeah, exactly, you're prepared when you hit the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: job for us at sixteen. So the idea here is
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: that you start with, like I said, like an RV.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Eventually you get into a motel and you're just setting
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: up at first to grow up because and then you're
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: just running around the city. You have customers that are
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: texting you and you just deliver them weed or whatever.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Very simple.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Is it dangerous?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Well no, but you get into dangerous well if the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: cops see you, see you're avoiding cops, And eventually you
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: get into meth and we blew up our apartment twice,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: which is very realistic when you start cooking meth.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I should I should just start years old.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Enough, you know. Yeah, that's a good age.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: All the backgrounds and everything look real except for the people.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: The people are very goofy.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: It's very cartoony, very cartoony, and I'm sure that's my design.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely so.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I just I spend most of my days on a
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: skateboard just delivering product. I play with three other people
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and two of them just stay in the apartment doing
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: drugs and making drugs because if you do the drugs,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: you get to test the effects.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Some of them make you like jump high or something.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: But sometimes I just wander into the apartment and they're
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: just sitting their eyes are all bugged out and red.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: That's helpful when you're selling it, to let people know
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: what I can expect.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they also try from your supply.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is it's only on PC.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: It's in early access, so you have to have a
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: PC to play this, but I do think it will
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: probably be rolling out on consoles soon. Keep your eyes
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: out for this one. It's just silly fun. It's it's
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: just goofy. I remember playing a game called drug Wars
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: on my old grafting calculator in high school.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the chat room was talking about that.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the upgraded version of that. This is
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: what we grew into get. So that's called Schedule one.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: If you if you can't know, if you can't play,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you should at LEAs watch people play it because it's hilarious.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: A couple goofy things.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Well, this actually isn't goofy, And in fact, I have
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: to kind of offer a mea colpa that I haven't
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: brought this up sooner. I can't believe I haven't mentioned this.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: This is temp dashmail dot org. And it is essentially
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: a burner email. So once you get your drug business
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: going on.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: And it's on theme this week, this you basically just
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: it makes us a one time email address for you
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: and you've got your inbox there.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: So if you ever have to sign up for like
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: a subscription, which I hate. I hate getting all the
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: spam from.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Right and it's just I only need your email address
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: for one second. You're like, well, who are you gonna
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: sell it to? This creates a dummy email address, and
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I tested it. I sent an email to this address
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: and you hit refreshment, it pops up in the inbox.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: So and it'll it'll just poof, It'll just go away
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: once you're done with it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I am not a crack put yea burner.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: So it is again X ninety six dot com will
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: have the Lincoln's Temp dashmail dot org. Though, I mean,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: this thing is this is probably the most I would
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: say the most useful thing I've ever brought to this show. Okay,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I just think, oh, I don't know, the thing is Okay,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: you're right.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: The next thing, one million monkeys Monkeys.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Dot zip has a display of a million monkeys typing
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: on a on on typewriters.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Are the Great America Shakespeare.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: They're working on it well, and you you tap on
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: one of the monkeys, and it'll give you a choice
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: of words, and it'll tell you whether those words have
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: ever appeared at a Shakespeare play.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: M hmm, and then it'll, if you want it to,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: it'll assemble their words into some semblance of a sentence,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: which is usually not great. They're monkeys, yeah, gotta give
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: them a break.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: And then monkeys were at a space helmet.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: It's just so so like you could just lose hours
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: just scrolling through because you can just like go through
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: because they're they're they're in a big grid and they're
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: all typing, so you can just like go find one
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: at random and see what they're typing.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: You can put a cowboy hat on them. Monkeys dot zip.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: It is absolutely goofy.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: But hey, it gets goofy here because I found a
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: website that includes a fully functioning Nokia thirty two fifty.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: This is not even like I think, a very popular
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Nokia phone. This isn't the one that you're thinking of,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: like the brick phone. Yeah, but it is the neatest
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: thing because the first thing I would do, if you
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: guys are looking at it is make sure to turn
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: on the power button on the top. You'll hold that
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: down and it boots up exactly like an old, an
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: old Nokia phone. The most insane part about this is
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: obviously it's not connected to the Internet or whatever, but
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the whole functionality of the menu remains inside the phone,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and you can even if you're using it and carry
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: you're on your your iPad, it can use your iPad's
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: camera within the if you open the camera and so
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: you can actually like take old school cell phone camera pictures.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So you just boot it up.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: And some people out there just heard that. They're like,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, my Nokia. I just heard it on
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: you guys, remember that little jingle. But it is such
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: a trip. It's it's just, I mean, it's weird and
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: it's like the old the old input where it's like
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: kind of that little nub, the directional nub, Yeah, is
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: what you'll use and you kind of get well once
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: you once I got back into the groove of using
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: a phone, because this is. I mean, I cut my
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: teeth on phones like this, not these smartphones. And I
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: was like, oh yeah, actual, but is what it used
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: to be? Like it's cheah. There's a link for this.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I won't read it again. You'll have to go to
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: X ninety six dot com to get the link. But yeah,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: if you guys, if you had this phone, absolutely you
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: got to check this out.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: The thirty two fifty.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: But the nostalgia. Yeah, if you remember these old phones, yep, yep, classic.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: You have to charge it hide hope not probably every
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: two days.
