  Speaker 1: Here he is, ladies and gentlemen. Hey, guys.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: It's Jonathan Deezing, JD. He's here to tech a little
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: talk with us, or talk a little tech, I should say.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Jonathan is the host of the 3-Bit Gamer Show, which
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: is a podcast released every Tuesday.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir. And he's a cookie man. Yes. Cookie Man
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and tells us what's happening in the world of games.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: And the only thing I looked, you sent us a rundown,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: and the only thing I really looked at was that
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Gritty game.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: But let's get into the things you brought us. We'll
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: get into Gritty for sure. Okay. What do we got here?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: So we are at the bingo hour here for Grand
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Theft Auto 6. It's coming out next month, first thing,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: which means that most game companies do not want to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: release a game right now. Yeah. October is a little
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: thin for games, which is kind of nice, because if
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you are waiting for Grand Theft Auto 6, which is
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: projected to be the biggest video game of all time,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the minute it releases, there are some other actually pretty
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: cool games out this month. The first one up is
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Gears of War E-Day, which is, if you guys are
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: vaguely familiar with this game, it is a chainsaw machine
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: gun game. So this is where you are going to be...
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: You're fighting, it's like an Earth analog, so it's not
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: on Earth, but it's like a planet that's like Earth.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, one day, all these monsters
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: emerged and just started killing all the people, and you
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: were fighting them with guns and chainsaws and whatever. So
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: this is an old series. The first one came out
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: in 2006. But the first one, and then all the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: subsequent ones, were set after the day that all the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: monsters came crawling out of the holes. But this one
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: goes back, and it's like a prequel, which is cool
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: because we've been hearing about this for 20 years all
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the games talking about e-day and all the things that
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: happened on e-day and because it was all just set
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: in the aftermath it's this very grim dark kind of
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: bleak game where you know you're just fighting not just
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: not for the survival of humanity for your survival for
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the next five minutes it's it's quite quite gory too
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: yes it's like it's the whole the whole plot and
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you know revolves around these these creatures with very tough
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: skin that's why you have to put chainsaws on your
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: on your guns and just mow through them. So this
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: is out on Xbox and PC already, and it's got
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: great reviews. It's looking like a return to form if
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you like this series. Another cool series is Star Wars,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and this game, the latest game is Star Wars Galactic Racer.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And if you guys remember back way back when the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: early 2000s after episode one came out and pod racing.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I was going to say pod racing, but this isn't
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: pod racing. This is vaguely kind of pod racing. This
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: is so that one, the last pod racing game we
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: got was in the 2000s. And this one is kind
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: of the idea is that you're racing after the return
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of the Jedi. So the Empire's Fallen, which they had
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: all these strict racing requirements. So basically killed pod racing.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And then it's like they're rebuilding this into the Galactic League.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: So do you build your vehicle? Yeah, it's kind of scrappy.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: You're this scrappy guy that's trying to work your way
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: up the leagues as they're kind of putting this um
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like early days of them building the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: racing league and you're you're in it this is kind
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of hard it looks like it looks like it's kind
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: of hard you do have to have the force in
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: order to navigate it so i wouldn't recommend this to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: non-force users but uh yeah there's a story and then
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: there's there's online multiplayer i think it's 16 players so
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you can and it's not just like go go go
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: like most racing games you're driving in a car it's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: like you're you're fighting and you're Kind of trying to
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: not nudge people off the course and stuff. I mean,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: it's really Star Wars-y, and it's gotten great reviews. It
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: looks good, yeah. If you're looking for a racing game
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: that's just a little different, that's not on four wheels,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Star Wars Galactic Racer. And that's out now on Xbox, PS5,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and PC. So, yeah, that one looks pretty awesome.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, Sebulba is back. Yeah, Sebulba's kind of like one
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: of the main antagonists. I thought he got blowed up
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: in the first one. No, remember because he's waving his
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: fist at the end? Oh, that's right. Yeah, so yeah, Sebulba,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: if you guys want to race against him. Got some
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: fun little things to waste your time at the office today.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: This is really cool. Yeah, Salt Lake Gritty. This is, well,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you're going to have to get the link at x96. com
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: because I'm not going to read it. It's too long, yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It's weird. But basically, if you guys have heard of geo-guessing,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that is that you see a picture of of a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: location and you guess where it is. I know where
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that is. This is a very specific, hyper-specific geoguessr for
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the Salt Lake Valley. It's called Salt Lake Gritty. And
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: it just basically very simply shows you a picture, shows
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you a map of the valley and you, You kind
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: of just drop a pin where you think that picture
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: was taken and your best estimation. And then you say,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: where am I? I didn't do great. Yeah. The best
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: one I did was I was 16 blocks off. That's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: not bad. 16 blocks isn't bad. The general area.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: You got in the neighborhood. It's pretty hard. Yeah. I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: got two that were right on, but it was only
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: because there were like places I've been driving by since
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I was a child. so otherwise it is kind of
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: hard but the more you play it you find the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: first one i did i'm 221 blocks off nowhere near
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: that you just gotta practice that's what i've seen these
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: geoguessers that do because there's guys that'll do geoguessing streams
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: they'll just sit there and geoguess for eight hours while
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: people watch them and they get better and better because
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you get you know you start to pick up details
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: so that one's pretty cool it's pretty addicting too i
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: played it for i don't know like 30 minutes or
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: more just trying to see all the cards but yeah
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it's pretty cool um The next one here, this is
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: kind of just like a fun thing since gambling is
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: apparently like the backbone of the U.S. economy now. Yeah.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So let's keep gambling. This is called– you go to playchipless.com.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: If you have a deck of cards, you want to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: play poker with your friends, but you don't have poker chips,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: this is– I can't tell you the number of times
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: this happens all the time, but it is. It's more convenient,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I guess, if you don't want to deal chips. I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: like playing with poker chips, but it's kind of cool
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to just you can just go to this website. You
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: don't need to download anything. You don't need to sign
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: in or anything. It's just play chipless dot com. You
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: can host a game. or join a game and you
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: just choose how many sharding chips you have and you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: just sit there and... But you do need a real
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: deck of cards. Yeah, you do need a deck of cards. Okay.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's, I don't know. I just thought that
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: was kind of a quirky little thing.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And then this one I meant to talk about a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: while ago when they flew the spaceship around. That's okay.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: The moon. That's still cool. But yeah, this is a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: tool from NASA. If you go to homeandcity.nasa.gov, It shows
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you just how many things, and I was keyed into
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: this listening to a podcast about the Artemis missions, just
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: how many things in your home and your city were
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: just straight up invented by NASA. All kinds of stuff. Yeah.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like an interactive house and then an
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: interactive city where you can just click and see on
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: things and even like the brass fixtures on your sink
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in your bathroom. That type of brass is specifically invented
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: by NASA for re-entries. Things like that that are really
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: cool to see. UV-blocking sunglasses. Yeah. And, I mean, there
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: are so many things that we just take for granted now. And,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was kind of the point the astronaut
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: on that podcast was making. It's like, well, you know,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: this is like we're not just, you know, going around
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the moon and then that's it. Like we are inventing
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: things that you use– in later life.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: That is certainly an argument I think they need to
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: make stronger and stronger to keep the space program going.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: We should fund it because it's not just about.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Going to the moon or to Mars or whatever.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: It's all of this stuff. Yeah, it's like that passion
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: appeal that Matthew McConaughey's character makes in Interstellar that his
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: wife died because It didn't have an MRI machine, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that was invented because, you know, it was based on technology.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Memory foam bras were invented by NASA.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: There we go. What would we do without? Yeah, if
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: our boobs had to know where they went. Protect pilots
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: from impact. There you go. So this last one here,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I also played with this way too much. It's a
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: little depressing. A little. It's called Sliding Shores. You go
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to slidingshores.com. And hey, it's not an oh no for
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: me because I personally love Waterworld, the Kevin Costner vehicle.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: It's like just my favorite crappy Sunday afternoon movie. So
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, flood the planet, whatever. I'll get a catamaran.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: This is a map of the world where you can
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: drag a slider left or right to add or subtract
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: water from the planet. And it will show you basically
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: where the shoreline will be. Do you know what? As
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sliding this, Utah's in a pretty good position. We're
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: in a good spot. Yeah. Are we going to have
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: beachfront property? Yeah, but it looks like we're one of
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the last remaining spots. High mountains is kind of nice. Yeah,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the beachfront would be pretty swanky.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Except, you know, at the same time, if the Great
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Salt Lake dries up, Salt Lake would.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Be a ghost town. Well, no, Bill, if you do this,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it's like it's way past that. It's like this is
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: like end of the world stuff. But what's cool is
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: you can set it to be like this is where
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: if this is like the 2100 worst case scenario. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: then all the ice in Greenland melts, all the ice
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: in the world melts, stuff like that. And then you
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: can also look at like glacial periods past that. geographic
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: epics and things like that and to see where there
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: were these. There goes Modesto. Different times. Yeah, and then
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you can zoom in and see specifically. It's crazy how
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: quickly Florida just disappears. No Florida. Well, that's happening like
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: in the next five years.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what? I'm looking right now at Mona.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: That's where we should be. We should be in Mona, Utah.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Mona will be fine.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys can plot out where you're going to live,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: where you'll find dry land in the water world future.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: This is kind of fun to play with. All right.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Deasing, JD, he brings us fun things to do
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: every couple of weeks.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Listen to the two-bit, three-bit gamer show. How many bits
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: are in that show? There's two bits, but we call
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: it three bits.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: It's the three-bit gamer show, and there you go. He
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: does that, and he's a cookie guy.
