  welcome to multiple nerdgasm with your hosts Luke and
• 0:07
  multiple nerdgasm your guide to All
• 0:12
  Things
• 0:16
  nerdy so uh because Matt is at packs
• 0:21
  unplugged and Dan's in some weird country I can't pronounce they haven't
• 0:26
  filled anything into the spreadsheet so I've got nothing to talk about so I
• 0:30
  decided to bring my wife with me again this is pretty much like our wedding
• 0:35
  Pals so yeah because I'm too lazy to actually look up things to put in the
• 0:39
  spreadsheet to talk about myself I just brought Hannah along so she could work
• 0:43
  out stuff to talk about what are we talking about no pressure no pressure
• 0:47
  hello everyone for those of you keeping score last time I appeared on multiple
• 0:51
  nerdgasm because I feel I deserve a flashback I I know you don't normally do
• 0:55
  flashbacks but I feel I burnt one by appearing one like three times anyway
• 1:01
  last time on multiple nerdgasm Luke announced I would not be here for a
• 1:05
  thousand days yeah that last what 3 weeks yeah about that
• 1:11
  yeah but yeah here we go so we're still going to do our review of Thor even
• 1:16
  though Matt and Dan aren't here this is mostly because well I took you to see
• 1:20
  Thor mhm you are a Thor outter Luke refresh my memory you're not you're a
• 1:26
  Marvel Universe man yes let's be honest Marvel before DC always that is you
• 1:32
  Marvel for life however you weren't really a Thor man were you this is the
• 1:36
  first Thor movie I've seen whereas I have seen all of them okay that sounds
• 1:41
  like an accomplishment but there's what like this is the third this is the third
• 1:45
  it's not like there's hundreds so as someone coming in fresh who really
• 1:50
  didn't know much about the characters or anything and has the memory of a
• 1:56
  goldfish so I don't think you really talking much of the Marvel universe as a
• 2:01
  whole from previous films your thoughts I loved it as I've said before I've told
• 2:07
  you it's like an 80 it's a modern day 80s movie it's bright lights bright
• 2:13
  colors uh what else was there there was the ' 80s since music I just
• 2:18
  loved and the humor I love the humor in it yeah now that I think about it a lot
• 2:23
  of the big hits that have been coming out from the last couple of years have
• 2:27
  been Throwbacks to the 80s like you got your stranger things you've got Steven
• 2:33
  Spielberg actually doing stuff again all the best stuff comes out of the
• 2:37
  80s I'm me the I came out of the 8 81
• 2:40
  okay yeah no I don't know I think maybe you guys have finally maybe it's your
• 2:46
  time to be the pop cultural Zeitgeist as it were it could be so it has been two
• 2:53
  weeks since it came out so we are allowed to talk about spoilers we don't
• 2:57
  have to be scared about that now it has has been at least 2 weeks since the80s
• 3:01
  yes no I meant no I meant since the movie came out it's been 3 weeks since
• 3:05
  it came out in Australia but it's been two weeks since it came out in America
• 3:08
  the sure you got early for some reason I am unsurprised actually fun fact New
• 3:12
  Zealand often gets movies earlier than the rest of the world just because of
• 3:15
  time difference no it's a weird little distribution quer apparently New Zealand
• 3:20
  is seen as being a testing ground for some of the English language films
• 3:24
  sometimes even before they get their US release wow I did not know that I did
• 3:29
  because in my heart like Barnaby Joyce maybe I'm a New Zealander too love it
• 3:36
  land of the long white cloud you are amazing and I'm really sorry New Zealand
• 3:41
  I love you I love you as a country but I'm sorry Thor Ragnarok is amazing so
• 3:48
  I'm afraid the Russell Crow precedent does kick in does take effect now uh Tao
• 3:54
  TI you're now Australian welcome I know he likes being Australian
• 3:59
  he put a lot of Australian jokes into into the movie and so yeah he's now
• 4:04
  Australian until he does something we don't like then he New Zealand again yep
• 4:07
  once that first phone flies through the air towards an assistant actually he
• 4:12
  doesn't seem like a phone throw you don't know like I could see him maybe in
• 4:18
  the what we do in the shadow sequel that he's working on at the moment like maybe
• 4:22
  a prop I'm looking at his photo on IMD at moment and he looks like to me like
• 4:27
  he throws phones what are you basing that on I just get that feeling just
• 4:31
  from the look of his cold dead eyes that he likes to throw phones at people is
• 4:35
  this like you CH K Stewart Christian Stewart thing no we can just tell I can
• 4:40
  just tell I just look look at him eyes just staring at you ready to throw phone
• 4:45
  legit just looks like one of my cousins no anyway review so all right so Thor
• 4:51
  Ragnar I really really loved it it is
• 4:56
  essentially a hypercolor explosion of
• 4:59
  lights and sounds and witty banter and it sounds really weird to say this but
• 5:06
  Tao with Titi actually showed incredible restraint in this film he did he did
• 5:10
  look there are lots of little Australian in New Zealand little touches and nods
• 5:15
  very very clever casting must stay um everyone please listen out to some
• 5:21
  beautiful Wellington accents but what I was really impressed with is that the
• 5:25
  song chosen because you know the soundtrack maketh the film in the age of
• 5:30
  the award-winning Suicide Squad the soundtrack chosen for this film was the
• 5:35
  immigrants song well Tao itti maybe like some might say you missed a
• 5:41
  golden opportunity I say you showed incredible restraint by not res by not
• 5:46
  moving towards the one and only thunder struck by akaka I think I've just found
• 5:53
  out why he didn't put it in I'm guessing it's licensing issues no it was released
• 5:57
  in 1990 and he made made an 80s movie when was The Immigrant Song released I
• 6:02
  don't know probably after that I don't know I'm just trying to find something
• 6:07
  you can't get all lofty on your song facts and then be like oh by the way let
• 6:12
  me do a cheeky Google the one thing I upset about this is there was no we all
• 6:19
  knew that the Hulk was going to be in it well beforehand it would have been a lot more
• 6:24
  fun to have the Hulk that fight scene it just appear and the Hulk just jumps out and was a
• 6:30
  surprise and in all seriousness I do have another bone to pick with some of
• 6:35
  the trailers I mean yeah the Hulk thing I get why that was in there that was a
• 6:40
  big hook for the film I I don't know why though I think it would have been
• 6:43
  awesome to opening night and then word got out then the thing that actually
• 6:48
  annoyed me is in the trailers I saw it was the he's a friend from work joke
• 6:53
  thing but the thing that annoyed me is I saw another trailer thankfully after I'd
• 6:58
  seen the movie that gives away the spoiler about where Tessa Thompson's
• 7:02
  character fits into it really now for those who haven't seen that trailer all
• 7:07
  the movie yet this is one spoiler I am no no no we're allowed to talk about
• 7:10
  spoilers we allowed to yes okay but
• 7:13
  seriously Valkyrie game changing one thing that always sort of
• 7:20
  bothered me with the earlier Thor movies now the first Thor movie you have the
• 7:25
  obligatory scars guard of course it's vaguely Scandinavian you need at least
• 7:29
  one scars guard in there scarg guard's character does touch on the Mythos of
• 7:35
  Thor um but it's not something we really saw in the second Thor movie and I
• 7:41
  always thought that was a little bit wasted that they didn't really explore
• 7:44
  the whole Asgard midgard world tree all that kind of
• 7:49
  North I have no idea what those movies are about no idea like at all the first two
• 7:56
  not a clue okay well movie one is he's banging Nelly Portman or something
• 8:02
  no they just kiss in the movie The First movie second movie She slaps him yeah
• 8:07
  and by thought three dumped oh sorry it was a mutual
• 8:12
  dumping but yeah Tao it you're a National Treasure we love you I'm not
• 8:18
  going to say it's my favorite Thor movie No it's it's my favorite Thor movie it's
• 8:22
  not my favorite Marvel movie Guardians of Galaxy Volume 2 still holds that the
• 8:27
  second one the second one why the second over the first I just like the part
• 8:31
  where Chris Pratt's talking about how he's going to make up some really messed
• 8:35
  up stuff when he finds out that he's basically a God and can create things
• 8:39
  he's going to make some really weird stuff I just love that part and then
• 8:43
  when he turns into Pac-Man what so you
• 8:45
  connected yes yes I did
• 8:50
  okay um what else so we didn't really talk about spoilers I know we said we
• 8:55
  would we didn't they win the day oh the one thing it's not really clear how Hulk
• 9:02
  actually got there they really don't explain that at all except for the scene
• 9:07
  where they go how did you get here and Mark Ruffalo explains how he in fact got
• 9:12
  there eh I didn't buy it that was during the part when you left to go to the
• 9:17
  bathroom uh it's sort of they watched the video of the Hulk there and they
• 9:22
  hear a recording and then it's just I don't know it to me it was just a
• 9:26
  halfast explanation they just tried to gloss over it which makes in the type of
• 9:30
  style movie it is although speaking of half half halfast efforts oh mant please
• 9:36
  don't recut that one that was awkward speaking of half asked efforts can we
• 9:42
  mention the Benedict Comber patch little Cameo he had at the start the completely
• 9:48
  unnecessary one stop trying to make doctor strange happen no one liked it
• 9:54
  have you seen it yet I don't need to I've seen Muggin here with his little
• 9:59
  fakey fakey beard and his little Twitchy hands I don't need to see a movie to go
• 10:05
  you know what men in capes should have a bit more self-respect than this
• 10:10
  children's magician party don't you make fun of Cape I'm going to get one one day
• 10:15
  no I can wear a cape I can make a cape look good H as edma mode from The
• 10:20
  Incredibles will happily tell you no capes going to be a Lando Lando Cape he
• 10:25
  doesn't have a cape yeah he does Oh you mean the cariss
• 11:29
  we couldn't be bothered to talk about the past so once again Matt and Dan I
• 11:33
  get your sloppy seconds mhm thanks although can I just say one more thing
• 11:38
  that I love about taoy T I suppose one of the things I absolutely love and I
• 11:45
  have to admit Disney usually does really well is especially with its animated
• 11:49
  films is making sure that they're really are for everyone like there's been a
• 11:55
  really positive trend except some of the earlier ones yeah I don't want to I
• 12:01
  don't want to go into that controversy right now but like for example there's
• 12:05
  been a really good Trend over the last few years of Disney when they do do the
• 12:11
  language adaptations ensuring they get the right people to do the voices in
• 12:16
  animated films like voices really do make such a huge difference and for
• 12:19
  little kids hearing someone that sounds like them and has their accent makes
• 12:24
  such a huge difference anyway Tao itti you are a national hero to us in
• 12:29
  Australia but also to the people of New Zealand who I guess can borrow you maybe
• 12:34
  on Alternate Thursdays when they have custody taoi actually translated Moana
• 12:39
  into Mari I don't know what that is you know Moana no the most recent Disney
• 12:45
  animated film I haven't seen a Disney animated film
• 12:49
  since oh God what's the last Disney film I saw Mickey Mouse was in it and there
• 12:54
  was he was wearing a wizard hat and doing magic Mickey Mouse funny house no
• 13:00
  was he on a steamboat no Fantasia
• 13:04
  Fantasia is he in that yes H I think I don't know so it's not just about racist
• 13:10
  Centaur I don't actually even remember watching that I don't know I don't watch
• 13:14
  Disney cartoons I'm really surprised though because Moana has your favorite
• 13:19
  actor in the world Dwayne The Rock Johnson yes who did not re-record his
• 13:25
  part in Maui could that be because maybe he doesn't speak Mai Jermaine Clement
• 13:30
  re-recorded his part in Mai but maybe he didn't have time to learn then redo his
• 13:35
  part maybe he's cuz he's working more Jermaine Clement years what's he working
• 13:40
  on at the moment right now Jermaine Clement yep what we do in the shadows
• 13:45
  too with ta and what was he doing before that uh let's see probably fly to the
• 13:50
  Concord stuffff I that that ended years ago he's got a lot of spare time on his
• 13:57
  head so he's there got you want me to record more I'll record more you want
• 14:00
  I'll learn other languages and record that as well well he okay admittedly he
• 14:05
  already spoke Mari yep but I don't think he'd ever sung in Mario before so that
• 14:09
  was a new experience yeah that's a paycheck he got paid twice wait so if I
• 14:16
  paid you mhm you would learn how to do this podcast in a second language yep
• 14:21
  which language I don't know English can we can we give that a go I'll try English yes
• 14:27
  nice so it's a lot of money though I'm not cheap actually I'm very cheap I've
• 14:32
  heard you say multiple time multiple times that what 250 takes you a long way
• 14:37
  yeah get to far yep 150 really I got to record those soon record what you it's a
• 14:42
  secret it's coming out later is this a secret like your next tattoo no that's
• 14:47
  not a secret I thought you weren't telling mad and Dan though I don't know
• 14:51
  what I want now that's why it's a secret luk there's a difference between
• 14:56
  something being a secret because you're trying to keep it low I remember what it
• 15:00
  is what is it it's a secret I remember
• 15:03
  it now though what I forgot what it was yeah but now I remember and it's still a
• 15:10
  secret so as soon as I find a tattooist I'm going to get it don't look at me
• 15:15
  like that listeners if any of you know a decent tattooist who will do a secret
• 15:20
  tattoo please email us podcast at multipl nerdgasm tocom if you would like
• 15:25
  to help fund the tattoo become a patreon sponsor why not yes there should be a
• 15:31
  level for that to give Luke a tattoo Matt add that in we need to change the
• 15:35
  levels on patreon Luke's tattoos is now on there yeah as one of your patreon
• 15:40
  sponsors I'm actually quite Keen to receive my reward you haven't asked for
• 15:44
  it yet yeah that's cuz I can't decide what I want I believe I've bought well
• 15:50
  donated enough now that you guys have to record something mhm of my choosing
• 15:56
  mhm and I believe I got a copy of the the recording so that's mine forever
• 16:01
  mhm so I'm thinking given your musical stylings mhm I'd like to hear a
• 16:08
  rendition of sh sh sh do shotgun bam what's up with that thing looks good
• 16:15
  kill you would be an Uzi hey I got that that's easy oh free
• 16:19
  preview yep get ready for that soon okay let's put that on our
• 16:24
  Che make a fortune I I don't think we'd be able to sell it why not cuz we don't
• 16:29
  have the license to it ah but if it's a parody what are the rules then I don't
• 16:34
  think you can make money off it though when have we ever made money off
• 16:38
  anything you've done yeah good point I say with
• 16:42
  love all right well I may not be making money but neither Snapchat these days
• 16:48
  did Snapchat ever make money I don't know what their business model is to
• 16:52
  possibly make money hang on hang on I know that if like you're a company that
• 16:57
  wants to do a c filter or something you can pay for that kind of like Google
• 17:02
  AdWords but interactive yeah I'm starting to see if you look at sort of
• 17:07
  the stories and they're I know they're trying with the whole they've got the
• 17:10
  map now so you can see what's happening on around and I think they're trying to
• 17:14
  get people to adverti that way but do you remember the spectacles the Snapchat
• 17:20
  spectacles the spectacle you made of yourself on Snapchat no I meant the
• 17:24
  glasses that they tried to Market a while ago those weird weird ones that I
• 17:30
  thought would pretty much be used by creepy dudes to look at their penises I
• 17:34
  spent hours when I was in New York trying to find a pair so you could look
• 17:38
  at your penis yes and share it with everyone it's cuz it's so much easier if
• 17:42
  you got your hands free you get a better angle I don't understand but no
• 17:47
  evidently they didn't sell that well they did the marketing is said the
• 17:52
  creepy man Factor it might have been I think their marketing was great to start
• 17:57
  off with and then it also ended up destroying itself when they first came
• 18:02
  out it was the only place you could get them from their vending machines and the
• 18:06
  vending machines were not everywhere they were very special locations and you
• 18:11
  had to look on the internet to get the time location of where they're going to
• 18:14
  be and so people were lining up to get them for
• 18:19
  hours and then that kept going and going and going and by the time they actually
• 18:23
  just became readly available I think everyone was just over them I think if
• 18:28
  they had to just put them on sale after the first week they would have sold a lot more so
• 18:34
  essentially you're saying the downfall of Snapchat spectacles was the founder
• 18:39
  of Snapchat marrying Miranda Kerr cuz he's happened around the same time yes
• 18:44
  that's exactly what I'm talking about okay I really wanted a pair I couldn't
• 18:49
  find a pair did you know yes I walked kilometers in New York to go to the
• 18:55
  store where it's meant to be and it was shut it's going to clash with your
• 18:58
  little Lander apron isn't it no I'm going to get Google glass going to get a
• 19:03
  pen next time we go on H I'm wearing Google Glass but yeah Snapchat they lost
• 19:07
  $40 million on that it's really cute though you think we'll still be on
• 19:11
  holiday together by the end if you're walking around wearing creepy man
• 19:14
  glasses they're not creepy man glasses they're so I can take photos without
• 19:18
  alerting people to the fact you're taking photos no it's cuz when I'm
• 19:23
  traveling I'm normally got the walking stick and it's real pain to stop and
• 19:27
  then get the phone out and then sign up and take a photo but if
• 19:31
  I just got the glasses I just go click and done I have offered multiple times
• 19:34
  to get you a disposable camera to stick on to like a hat and then one of those
• 19:38
  little p like powder Prof pressy buttons go but then you have to get it developed
• 19:43
  where do you get film developed anymore can you get film developed anymore no no
• 19:49
  can't buy film yes you can the only way you can get film developers if you've
• 19:53
  got one of those dark rooms that you can do it yourself that's creepy how film
• 19:59
  film's creepy how is film creepier than old man spectacles because you don't
• 20:05
  you're taking photos that you want no one to know you have taken and so you
• 20:09
  got you take them back to your dark room and you have them there and there's no
• 20:12
  record that can be stolen off the internet and then you can lock them away
• 20:15
  in a safe that's creepy sorry something that can't be recorded for the internet
• 20:21
  is creepy yep so anything that can't be recorded for the internet is creepy they
• 20:26
  just want it so there's no record that can be we found who's they the creepy
• 20:32
  people taking photos of me why what why are they photographing you what you
• 20:38
  think people wouldn't want to take photos of me actually to be fair in
• 20:41
  Japan you'll stop multiple times for photos thank you but the law in Japan is
• 20:46
  you have to notify someone that you're taking a photo of them not everyone did
• 20:51
  and what camera like you noticed this while you were in Japan your phone
• 20:55
  automatically turned the sound on you couldn't take a camera like soor you
• 20:59
  couldn't take a photo without hearing a shutter sound no mine
• 21:03
  didn't H mine did yours did mine didn't I tricked my phone how did you do that I
• 21:08
  don't know I just didn't do it I didn't get arrested so not yet but you know
• 21:12
  like for all we know the Japanese Metropolitan Police are Keen listeners are we sending
• 21:19
  you a very polite but firmly worded email speaking of people taking creepy
• 21:24
  photos of me yeah there's a way I could actually stop my nudes getting out on
• 21:28
  the internet now stop publishing them nope oh so that may help but also if I
• 21:35
  just give them to Facebook wait so if you post nude photos of yourself on
• 21:40
  Facebook they're going to stop people from saving copies no it's to stop the
• 21:46
  whole revenge porn thing which I've never understood why people would do
• 21:50
  that but anyway revenge porn or taking the photos to begin with revenge porn uh
• 21:55
  sometimes it's not even revenge porn as weird as that sounds
• 21:59
  um one of the common defenses you hear from usually guys is like oh I just
• 22:04
  thought she look so hot so you know like yeah I send a photo on to my friends or
• 22:08
  things like that the problem is once a photo gets out there it's almost
• 22:14
  impossible to control unless you send it straight to Facebook what tag Mark
• 22:18
  Zuckerberg in your NES yep okay everyone tag Mark in your nudes yep that'll stop
• 22:24
  it I don't actually I think what happens is they you send the image to them and
• 22:28
  then they store it and then if anyone tries to upload that picture they notify
• 22:33
  you or block it does it have to be that exact picture is there some sort of
• 22:36
  facial recognition it have to be that exact picture it's like doing a Google
• 22:40
  image search but then you got to hit on problems which does happen with teens
• 22:46
  teens if you're listening to this be careful of teens snapping photos of
• 22:51
  themselves using SnapChat possibly taking on creepy old man glasses no way
• 22:56
  of knowing and then the person on the other saving a screen cap and Bam
• 23:01
  photo's out photo is out okay oh so no what it actually is is if you upload
• 23:07
  your picture so you send a nude by Messenger to someone using Facebook
• 23:13
  they're putting a digital hash on it and it's just so it can be tracked as the
• 23:18
  where that picture goes wait wait Facebook is going to copyright the
• 23:25
  nude they're not copyrighting it it's they're affecting they're giving it sort
• 23:29
  of like a something that can be recorded on it and it can be used to track it how
• 23:34
  it gets distributed through social media okay yeah I'm still not trusting
• 23:40
  it no I just think that's a terrible thing people just don't send nudes go
• 23:43
  back to Polaroids Polaroids are a safer way to do it sorry so film
• 23:49
  cameras too creepy y too creepy don't know who's doing it don't know where
• 23:53
  they're developing it Polaroid Polaroids completely different cuz it prints out
• 23:57
  right there in there they're not developing in secret in the back room
• 24:02
  with their pants off their shirt probably to it's probably hot in back
• 24:05
  there it's got that red light in there you know what happens in Red Light
• 24:09
  areas sorry I'm still a bit confused because last time you were using a
• 24:13
  Polaroid camera you were quite drunk yep and you kept told me that it was magical
• 24:19
  Pixies painting the photos yep and then you kept saying they're doing a great
• 24:24
  job they're done a great job under the pressure like they have to take a lot
• 24:28
  paint a lot of photos really quickly but then they get a lot of time off cuz with
• 24:33
  those types of cameras they used a lot for like a day and then shoved away in a
• 24:36
  draw for about a year or five and then used again so they got a lot of downtime
• 24:41
  so you want one for Christmas yep okay Polaroids are my dick what why do you
• 24:46
  want Polaroids of your peers I can mail them to listeners I don't think they want that
• 24:53
  that's another patreon level we're going to have pictures of Luke's dick what
• 24:59
  why people pay for it then we know they want it that's just what that sounds
• 25:04
  like a Kevin Spacey defense no it
• 25:10
  doesn't it's fine under control is there another patreon level that stops sending
• 25:17
  photos yeah the one above that one so listeners if you sub subscribe to
• 25:23
  our patreon so Luke can what it's the opposite of
• 25:29
  [Laughter] that's great it's going to make us a
• 25:33
  fortune yes you just wait and see I'm just what
• 25:40
  all right or how about
• 25:44
  no this is a terrible plan we'll see we'll see what happens so I've been
• 25:50
  playing a lot of Star Wars Battlefront 2 why I actually went out and got it
• 25:55
  even though well this is one thing that's really annoying everyone's been
• 25:59
  upset and complaining about the microtransactions and everything but no
• 26:02
  one actually spoke about the single player game so I went out and got it to
• 26:06
  play that I believe Gizmodo reviewed it
• 26:09
  this morning as bafflingly unstructured yes oh no wait I just made that up but
• 26:16
  Gizmodo was not impressed with it um but is baffling
• 26:20
  unstructed sorry it's what now baffling
• 26:24
  unstructured bafflingly yeah that word too
• 26:29
  so the the way the ads leading up to this looked like was going to be a
• 26:35
  really interesting story so you play a special ops Stormtrooper hang on hang on
• 26:40
  Luke yes did you get suicide squatted by the trailers no not quite like that I knew
• 26:46
  it was going to be like great great it wasn't the music suicide just has great
• 26:51
  music and great makeup the best makeup
• 26:56
  award winning but you Storm Trooper are sort of on Endor and you witness the
• 27:01
  destruction of the second deatha and it's meant to be about your story
• 27:05
  continuing on about that and how you fighting for the Rebellion no fighting
• 27:10
  for the Empire and how that sort of continued off after the war so the first
• 27:14
  two levels were pretty much that like the first level you actually start
• 27:18
  captured on a rebel alliance ship and you escape with plans it's all great
• 27:25
  then you're on the Endor and you see it destroyed that's all great
• 27:28
  and then wait wait wait the destruction of Endor that's all great the D I mean
• 27:34
  the story is following along quite nice and then where did the Ewoks go Luke the
• 27:38
  indoors fine they where did the Ewok but when actually when the Death Star
• 27:43
  probably did blow up and a lot of that debris crashed into the planet it
• 27:47
  probably destroyed hundreds of Acres of rainforest and probably killed lots of
• 27:50
  them the death SS about the size of an actual moon right yep a small Moon and
• 27:55
  it went into orbit around Endor yes well I'm I ain't one of your University
• 27:59
  trained astrophysicists or nothing but wouldn't that like affect Endor tides
• 28:05
  and stuff ah you forgot it's in Star Wars that's just a forest Planet so
• 28:10
  there's no there's no tide oh okay it's culturally homogeneous right like
• 28:14
  everyone speaks the same language and they all just happen to live in the one
• 28:18
  part where people land yeah exactly like just like in Firefly it's the forest
• 28:22
  Moon of Endor so there's just forest and you got ttin which is just desert these
• 28:26
  sound like terrible planets ho which is just ice like I knew the ones in Firefly
• 28:30
  weren't very good but somehow this is more disappointing yeah he just one
• 28:35
  planet is one ecosystem and how many have Nathan Filan on them none how many
• 28:40
  should all I like Nathan fillian he's up there with a rock not quite just below
• 28:45
  the rock so if the Rock and Nathan fillian did a buddy crop movie that
• 28:50
  would be amazing I could see that they they would work well together I'm not
• 28:55
  sure they would because they're both the laidback funny guy it would work trust
• 28:58
  me I don't know I want to see Idris Ela and Terry Cruz to a budy crop movie but
• 29:03
  anyway back to Star Wars no I think we should talk Terry Cruz no Terry Cruz news cuz
• 29:09
  after after you watched the destruction and then it just the story just for me
• 29:13
  went downhill very quickly like this conversation when you moved away from
• 29:17
  Terry Cruz I'm not going to go and give any more spoilers away from the actual
• 29:22
  storyline all I'm going to say is it just feels like it need felt like it had to just
• 29:27
  force characters in like Princess Leia and Luke and Hans Solo and L just forced
• 29:32
  them into the story when they did not need to be there at all if only there
• 29:36
  was a way so you have those characters somewhere where you could unlock
• 29:42
  them yes the multiplayer cuz after I so after I got disappointed with the single
• 29:48
  story single player campaign which I'm happy they had one this time but I wish I have
• 29:53
  actually just focused on the story of the Stormtrooper yeah that's is one
• 29:59
  thing I noticed with a lot of your winging about games you're not a team
• 30:03
  player no God no screw those people I'm always at the top of the leaderboard I'm
• 30:08
  not quite I'm in the top five but top five out of 20 people and now I'm just
• 30:13
  playing with idiots and I don't want to talk to them do not look at Luke do not look at
• 30:18
  him in the eyes but the H this one they really have gotten PID to win with
• 30:25
  Battlefront 2 and cuz I don't care about loot boxes stuff like that could not
• 30:29
  care less if you want to people want to pay money to get a pretty skin for their
• 30:34
  character or a weapon go for it don't care I just play as a default character
• 30:39
  and weapon skins always have I believe
• 30:44
  Luke that this is a fallacy what sorry a
• 30:49
  lie what Luke I've been playing a little bit of Phoenix Right attorney law I
• 30:54
  think I got this okay Luke madeup surname because we
• 30:59
  don't want to give that out on air is it not true that there was a game in which
• 31:05
  you purchased nonfunctional horse armor that would be probably at the very
• 31:12
  start of paid DLC that was useless and
• 31:16
  yes I brought the horse Al in Oblivion so because of this purchase probably in
• 31:22
  the Dark Ages 2003 yes but that's fine it's doesn't
• 31:28
  affect game play and nothing you should not be able to pay extra money to affect
• 31:33
  gameplay and if actually like even in the first Battlefront you could unlock
• 31:38
  different character skins yeah this one you can't do that it's just you play as
• 31:43
  the default trooper and that's it you can't pick between male and female which
• 31:48
  sucks cuz I'm always female yeah that is disappointing so they got rid of that
• 31:52
  and then brought in not Luc you can unlock everything with money but you
• 31:57
  don't make a lot of money for at all in playing the game like on average I think
• 32:02
  the most I've made is about 400 credits to buy just one of the loot crates is
• 32:09
  like the minimum is 2,000 but the trooper one which is the one that you buy most is
• 32:15
  4,000 yeah and this is exactly what we were talking about the other day when we
• 32:19
  were talking about how EA pinky promised that they were going to reduce or remove
• 32:26
  microtransactions and when incidentally at the same time the amount of credits
• 32:30
  you receive for completing a mission really wet down as well yeah
• 32:35
  like it's I have to pay like play 10 missions to be able to unlock an extra
• 32:40
  crate and it's the stuff you're unlocking isn't like here's a new look
• 32:46
  for the gun or a new piece of armor it is actually here is an upgrade for your
• 32:51
  weapon here is an upgrade for your armor like it's when I say upgrade I mean it
• 32:56
  makes you harder to kill increase one one of one of the things cards you get
• 33:03
  actually increases your health yeah so they are gamechanging quite literally
• 33:08
  gamechanging and so I I'm not I don't play a lot when I play multiplayer I I
• 33:14
  not like I used to I used to play Halo 2 to death but Battlefront 2 I'm going to
• 33:18
  log on to maybe a few hours every week but I'm already saying this now that I'm
• 33:24
  already a much lower level than a lot of the other people playing and I'm not
• 33:27
  going to be to compete yeah I have to admit that like in some of the big I
• 33:32
  don't even know if 's the right word when it's the massive multiplayer online
• 33:36
  when we're talking about like on a console or things like that but one of
• 33:40
  the things I like in a game is when you do get a special thing but it's always
• 33:47
  because you've done something cool like for example when you see someone you're
• 33:52
  like oh they got that special limited edition pink leopard print Halo armor
• 33:57
  and I I know that they got that because they went on a particular Mission or
• 34:00
  they did something that was really hard or tricky and yeah you know it's a
• 34:05
  little cosmetic thing and maybe the gun fires a tiny bit faster but it's not
• 34:11
  you're not unduly advantaging some people that's what EA said with the
• 34:15
  reason why the characters were so expensive to buy that they wanted you to
• 34:19
  feel a sense of accomplishment that so well that person's unlocked Emperor
• 34:24
  Palpatine they must be really good which to to that degree I don't actually mind
• 34:30
  too much with the unlocking of characters like that cuz those
• 34:34
  characters it's not like you get to play those characters all the time well when
• 34:37
  we're talking about unlocking a character in that way I expect there to
• 34:41
  be a bit of a bit of grinding like that's how you earn it but if you're
• 34:45
  buying your way in all that says is that you're very good with mommy or Daddy's
• 34:49
  credit card well because I'm assuming you don't want to have to explain those
• 34:53
  charges on your own credit card to the bank well even if you unlock
• 34:58
  the Emperor or anything any of those Hero characters when you're playing you
• 35:02
  can't actually just use them in the game that's frustrating in the game when
• 35:06
  you're playing the conquest which is the main multiplayer game you actually have
• 35:12
  to earn points in the game that you then used to spend to buy that character to
• 35:17
  play at that stage so even if someone went in and locked one of the locked
• 35:21
  Heroes and then came in they wouldn't be able to just play that character they'd
• 35:26
  have to also be good at playing to be able to get enough points to play them
• 35:30
  in the game so weirdly enough a similar strategy to what Marvel used with civil
• 35:35
  war where for some reason they didn't have Thor or Hulk and Thor Ragnarok
• 35:42
  fills that Gap quite nicely so similar thing you can't bring in all the big
• 35:46
  guns but no but that's that's and that's fine and so that's fine to have to
• 35:51
  unlock for that what's not fine is the fact that you can then get extra cards
• 35:55
  to make them more powerful yeah so I
• 36:01
  think honestly I'm really starting to think that this has all come from EA
• 36:05
  paid too much for the license to make Star Wars games and they're starting to
• 36:09
  worry that they're not going to make their money back I think or not as much
• 36:12
  money as they were hoping to I suspect as well that Uncle Disney has also given
• 36:18
  them a bit of a tap on the shoulder as well I think that's more for more so
• 36:22
  removing the microtransactions yeah but they they haven't they've removed them
• 36:27
  for the time being but they're going to bring them back so OD they've just
• 36:31
  removed them at the moment so it's not going to affect their sales and then in
• 36:35
  the new year they bring them back I'm feeling February because you want to get
• 36:38
  all like this is probably going to be one of the games that's going to show up
• 36:43
  in people's stockings for those who still buy physical games so you know you
• 36:47
  got your teens you got your youth you got little kids because even though
• 36:51
  there's a bit of violence it's still fairly friendly for the kids CU it's
• 36:56
  space violence which apparently doesn't count yep so you know by the end of the
• 37:00
  school holidays we're talking January early
• 37:04
  February parents are probably willing to pay they will not get any extra money of
• 37:10
  me I will not buy any of those loot crates I will buy the ones with in-game
• 37:15
  currency but that's it what if they had
• 37:19
  special atat armor no that was
• 37:23
  nonfunctional nonfunctional all four or what was that white Yeti thing that Luke
• 37:29
  was riding around uh Tonton yeah what if they had like a special Tonton for if it
• 37:34
  was didn't have any effect on the game play I would get it I'd be fine with
• 37:39
  that and that's what they should go to all loot boxes and this is why people
• 37:44
  governments are starting to look into are they gambling because they do make a
• 37:48
  difference to the game ah not just that but it's also the random factor of what
• 37:52
  you receive OverWatch I think do it great or you get different color
• 37:57
  different skin and different weapon skins and stuff like that different
• 38:00
  emotes which they're fun they're fun people seem to love them I don't get it
• 38:06
  but people do have you played OverWatch yeah I played it one on the three
• 38:10
  weekends oh okay didn't care for it it's a multiplayer only game and it's a type
• 38:16
  of one where you need to work with a team listeners if you are also a fan of
• 38:22
  multiplayer games and believe that you are not an idiot and are willing to
• 38:27
  accept accept Luke as your captain please write into us because he is
• 38:31
  willing to consider playing more multiplayer games yes I do want to play
• 38:35
  some of them but then yeah it's just playing with idiots like I wouldn't mind
• 38:39
  playing Grand Theft Auto online OverWatch no because you got to spend
• 38:43
  too much time in it and work together too much hypothetical question mhm
• 38:49
  Dwayne The Rock Johnson calls you mhm says Luke you're a bit of a fan of my
• 38:53
  work mhm we should play OverWatch together sometime mhm
• 38:58
  but mhm turns out he's not very good and he won't let you be Captain would you
• 39:03
  keep playing with him no that doesn't sound fun it's just going to end with me
• 39:08
  yelling at the Rock and I don't want to make him cry wait why are you making the
• 39:11
  rock cry I just assumed out how how it would go cuz he's a really nice guy why
• 39:16
  would he be upset about you yelling at him cuz he go he's my friend and I
• 39:21
  reached out to him and now he's just throwing it back in my face and he get
• 39:24
  really upset and he cry so The Rock's going to cry because you're being a jerk
• 39:28
  yes and I don't want that to happen so how would you preserve this friendship
• 39:33
  we wouldn't play OverWatch what would you play not Star Wars Battlefront um I
• 39:39
  don't know love in a dangerous SpaceTime no that just end in fights as well you
• 39:44
  know that overcooked engine fights maybe just if we're going to play a
• 39:48
  multiplayer game and it was a shooting game I'd probably go Titan for oh I play
• 39:53
  rock band with him ooh that's a good one I'm good at Rock Band not too late sorry
• 39:58
  the rock we can all play you have four
• 40:02
  players can we though yes we can I have
• 40:07
  three guitars two drum sets we're fine microphones but yeah but you can only
• 40:13
  have one drum kid at a time can't you well we could have I'll be on drums yeah
• 40:19
  we'll have the Rock on guitar yeah and you on bass everyone's happy who's on
• 40:22
  the mic no one wants to sing in that game actually Dwayne The Rock Johnson
• 40:26
  caning you know how I know this how
• 40:30
  Moana that weird movie that no one's seen what do you mean no one's seen it's
• 40:36
  fantastic I loved it and he has a big
• 40:41
  solo mhm which is called you're welcome
• 40:47
  MH and features a little bit of the rock rapping which is very cute all right
• 40:52
  well I think the next Rock movie I'm actually going to see is jamanji but we
• 40:56
  should probably go and see that DC movie
• 41:00
  that's out now what is it justice league yeah that one cuz that looks great I'm
• 41:06
  so excited for that what Justice League
• 41:10
  is making me do is really think about
• 41:15
  how much I truly liked Wonder Woman and am I willing to sit through a lot of
• 41:21
  brooding bat flick for galad and you know as you were with me as you you're
• 41:27
  aware I was quite the fan of the Wonder Woman movie I really liked it um
• 41:32
  although I did go through a bit of soul searching the other week as one does
• 41:35
  when you follow DC things and I was like do I like the Wonder Woman movie so much
• 41:41
  because it was a good movie or was it just simply so much better than Batman
• 41:47
  versus Superman and I've decided that I liked it in its own right but now I'm
• 41:51
  worried because you know Justice League they're probably going to have other
• 41:55
  characters on screen yep they've got lots of characters that are all great
• 42:01
  and like like that stupid aquam that
• 42:05
  Aquaman Jason Mamoa yeah he's I I don't know what they were thinking what's
• 42:11
  wrong with Jason Mamoa Aquaman is a guy who wears this bright orange jumpsuit
• 42:18
  and he's blonde and he's useless he's not some big musly guy that
• 42:22
  can beat people up well he he is a big musly guy who can beat people up ah no
• 42:29
  my point in that is actually Aquaman guardian of the sea right mhm how many
• 42:35
  sea crimes have you heard about none exactly he does his job he
• 42:41
  does his job and Cyborg just looks
• 42:45
  terrible like he looks bad not bad in a
• 42:49
  good way I mean just looks bad like they
• 42:52
  skimped on the CGI or no I think they I don't know they spend a lot of money on
• 42:57
  it probably and the Flash I don't know why they didn't use the flash from the
• 43:01
  television show I think DC has different rules with its Multiverse compared to
• 43:07
  some of the Marvel ones for example like
• 43:10
  in DC TV Land you had Smallville mhm
• 43:15
  which I believe is completely separate then you have the Flash and you also
• 43:21
  have super go again I believe completely separate whereas Marvel Luke cage will
• 43:28
  meet Jessica Jones they're banging aren't they spoilers oh I haven't seen
• 43:33
  it well you know in Cannon they're married aren't they uh they were they
• 43:40
  have a kid together they divorced so they definitely banging then they get
• 43:44
  back together again banging's my new word okay then yep that's your new word
• 43:50
  y you're so hip and with it it's like Dan's on the show tell me about Lim
• 43:54
  biscuit $3 bill y'all I don't understand the reference that's
• 43:59
  their first album is it yep was I alive
• 44:02
  yes really yes you were not by much yes okay came out in the '90s
• 44:09
  1997 I don't think I was listening to Limp Biscuit in 1997 I was on a tape no
• 44:15
  we're on CDs then are you some people
• 44:18
  were not you I I actually think I even
• 44:22
  owned yes yes cuz I actually owned a quarter of his CD
• 44:27
  burner what do you mean you owned a quarter of a CD burner CD burners were
• 44:32
  really expensive back then yeah so we all chipped in and brought one who's we
• 44:38
  me and people I went to school with what did you burn I got one CD out of it this
• 44:43
  does not sound like a good investment it was a terrible investment and it wasn't
• 44:47
  even like it burnt stuff really quickly like if you wanted to burn a CD it would
• 44:52
  take as long as listening to the
• 44:56
  CD so like recording your favorite song from the radio straight onto a t yep
• 45:01
  exactly like that terrible and sometimes you just go through all that time spent
• 45:06
  burning it and then it wouldn't work did you ever make mixed tapes or
• 45:10
  mixed CDs for anyone no never never seemed like a lot of effort not even
• 45:16
  Matt or Dan when you were cting them no gee Mt and Dan you're real swell we
• 45:21
  should all go to this winter social together I just put out you what now I
• 45:25
  just put out put out what crappy fake
• 45:28
  CDs War my Cape yeah apron and just
• 45:33
  nothing else and just things went from
• 45:37
  there all right I'm calling it what you calling it the end of the episode all
• 45:43
  right then I'm tired and I got to edit this now I'm stopping when I say edit
• 45:48
