And Then There Were Two: Baldur's Gate 3 HBO Series & New Xbox in 2027 · Multiple Nerdgasm

0:01
All right, we're recording. Good morning.
0:04
Good evening. I was a little jealous of your
0:08
beard last week, so I actually went and trimmed mine and I
0:11
think I did quite a good job. I did it all myself.
0:14
Yeah, you're jealous of my you're jealous of my beard.
0:18
My beard was getting very scruffy.
0:20
Right, right. You know where it's coming out
0:22
and it's sort of unmanageable. So I just trimmed and just gave
0:25
it a little bit of shape that. Looks good.
0:28
But I went kind of a bit too much here, annoyed by that.
0:31
But that's what happens when I do it myself.
0:34
I can't be trusted with things like that.
0:36
I'm always very conservative. When I'm trimming my beard, I
0:40
become a Republican. Yep, you're righty.
0:44
That's right, Dan's not here. No, and he won't be here.
0:52
Yeah. So yeah.
0:59
Welcome to multiple Nerdgasm, a comedy show about all things
1:05
nerdy. He's retiring from the show.
1:11
Yep. And you know, we respect his
1:13
decision. I'm sure that's going to
1:14
disappoint some of you guys. I know because I've been told
1:18
straight to my face that Dan was their favorite.
1:21
Yeah, which? Hurts a bit when they tell me
1:24
right to their face when I'm the only one there.
1:26
Yeah, exactly. But yeah, so he's, you know, his
1:31
life. Happy life.
1:33
As I keep saying, life gets in the way of everything.
1:36
Yeah, and we do have to record it very strange times in order
1:38
to make this work. So yeah, maybe we'll drag him
1:42
out of retirement one day. But yeah, for the moment.
1:45
Yeah, always welcome back. And yeah, hopefully we can keep
1:47
every now and again. Yeah, we shall see.
1:50
Special appearances. Yeah, what are we?
1:55
But for now, he's. Dead 37.
1:57
To us. We'll have him back for the
1:59
seven hundredths. 707 hundred we're getting.
2:05
Close how? Fast Did that happen?
2:06
We're on 637 so. I know.
2:09
Like bizarre. 7 hundredths next year, early next year.
2:14
That's ridiculous. Ridiculous.
2:19
I will be at PAX East. That's the other announcement I
2:21
have. I've it's confirmed now.
2:23
I've received confirmation that I will be at East.
2:26
So jealous. I think I'm going to have to
2:29
come to PAX East one year because I need to see the
2:31
difference between PAX Australia and PAX East now, because I've
2:34
been to PAX East once, like, yeah, over a decade ago.
2:37
It's changed since since you were there, because when we we
2:41
came over there were a bunch of big, there's a bunch of big
2:45
games showing and that kind of stuff and they don't so much
2:48
have that anymore. I'm sure.
2:50
I don't know if Australia's the same.
2:51
It's more indie than it was. Yeah, I think Australia's got
2:54
the same, a lot more indie. The only real big Nintendo were
2:58
there always with a big big. Store A Nintendo weren't at PAX
3:03
last year, I wonder. I don't know if they'll be there
3:05
this year, actually. You know, I should note this.
3:08
I know that Xbox had a bit more of a presence issue than they
3:11
norm or last year. Oh really?
3:12
They normally because all showing off the new handheld.
3:16
Right, of course. I wonder if they'll be doing
3:19
that then? I'm telling you what that
3:21
handheld is amazing though. OK.
3:24
They have not announced the the show floor stuff for Paxy so I
3:28
don't I can't tell that. Yet.
3:29
But I cannot speak more highly of that Rog LIX.
3:32
It is amazing. You use yours a lot.
3:35
I use mine every day at lunch. Yeah, right.
3:37
And it runs games great. Yeah.
3:41
And the battery's not I've. Got one job and that's it.
3:43
So. And by default I can set it up
3:47
with Steam and everything. Yeah, right.
3:50
It's just a button to hit. I hit steam and it'll open up
3:53
steam for me. Yeah.
3:56
So, OK, Yeah, but how much is it?
3:59
That's the problem. It's it's, it wasn't as
4:03
expensive as my last handheld. It's still expensive though, but
4:08
highly worth it I say. That's fair.
4:11
I mean, I've got the switch to, I'm loving the switch to.
4:13
We've got some switch to news actually this week.
4:16
I'm very happy directed Nintendo Direct.
4:20
Oh yeah, I've got some news out of it.
4:22
Wait, what news did you get out of it?
4:23
I've got out the date of when the next Final Fantasy 7 is
4:27
coming out. Oh.
4:28
OK, interesting. Because it's coming out at the
4:31
same time as is on the Nintendo. On the on the Xbox.
4:36
Yep. Yeah, right.
4:38
Yeah. So we're getting some cool stuff
4:41
on the switch to including Indiana Jones and which is was a
4:46
very good game, and Fallout 4, which is which is interesting.
4:50
OK. I could maybe replay some of
4:53
that stuff. I I need him to re release
4:56
fallout 4 again for me to play. I need the achievements.
5:01
Oh, I see. I'm like, the problem with the
5:05
Switch traditionally is that they say the, oh, you know, X
5:08
game is coming out on the Switch, and then it comes out
5:10
and you look at it and you go, Oh, yeah, OK, I guess that's
5:14
shaped like the game I played on the Xbox.
5:17
And then I could just go back and play it on there's.
5:20
Always some compromise with the visuals or whatever.
5:23
So I'm just curious how these are going to look or how the
5:27
frame rate is going to be, I guess is the bigger issue a lot
5:30
of the time. So we'll see.
5:34
Like I've got No Man's Sky on Switch to and that's pretty good
5:38
that the problem with that is the Nintendo I guess, don't push
5:45
updates out as often. Oh, really?
5:48
I'm not. I don't know the specifics but
5:50
the the switch version is often behind the Xbox and PC.
5:56
PC versions are right way ahead. Xbox is behind and then switches
5:59
way way behind. And if you want to do the cloud
6:01
sharing between your consoles, which I do, then it fucks you up
6:06
because you can't. You're safe.
6:09
Oh that's that sucks because I don't like Xbox games and PC
6:13
games. They update close to nearly
6:16
every time I go to play with them somewhere.
6:17
Right, Yeah. And I know Xbox is harder
6:20
because I mean, what game was it?
6:23
There have been games of where updates have gotten held up
6:26
through approval because they've got to get through approvals.
6:28
Xbox. And I think the problem is that
6:29
Nintendo does the same thing but Nintendo's.
6:31
It's a lot slower at it. Yeah, that's my understanding of
6:34
the issue. Yeah.
6:36
Although. It's weird because Nintendo.
6:38
Oh no. Or Sony that was releasing a lot
6:40
of Crash, not Nintendo. Yeah.
6:44
Yeah, yeah, there's some weird stuff on the Sony game store,
6:46
actually, I've seen. What's this weird?
6:50
I'm not going to be able to find it.
6:51
I'll have to wait a moment. Hang on.
6:53
But remember, even just a few weeks ago, they got rid of like
6:56
1200 games or from the one publisher because they just
7:01
were, I guess, vetting nothing that went on.
7:05
OK, this game, I'm in love with your dead grandmother.
7:09
You told us about that game. Yes, I reckon between you, me
7:13
and then we could make that game.
7:16
Yeah, that's very strange. Is that?
7:22
Yeah, I think is this developer has a lot of games.
7:26
No. Noah Small Johnson.
7:30
Noah Small Johnson. Yeah, there's this one here.
7:34
Noah Small Johnson's puzzle game.
7:38
I mean, this is all very strange.
7:39
I'm. Trying to see who made I'm in
7:46
love with your dead grandmother. I think it's that guy I'm in
7:48
love with, your dear grandmother.
7:50
OK, 'cause he made only two people made that.
7:53
Yeah, OK. Him and the girl that are in it.
7:57
So weird. Yes, and they've got other
8:01
stuff. Like that?
8:02
Coming out very soon, they're just pictures and it's sort of
8:05
like, it's like a, yeah, like one of those animated.
8:10
Video. It's is that it's just still
8:12
images, yeah. Oh geez.
8:14
Oh no, no, there is video. There is some video but then but
8:16
not a lot. I know there is a fair bit but
8:20
it's not like a long game or anything.
8:23
They've got another one coming out next week or something and
8:27
I'm all in. OK.
8:29
I don't know why, they just seemed fun.
8:34
What is it? Called very strange.
8:37
Other Switch thing is that Valheim is going to be on
8:39
Switch, which I like that game. I haven't played it in a game in
8:42
a long time but I do like that game.
8:44
So I saw it. I was like, oh, Valheim.
8:45
Once I know I went to install it and I had to install some other
8:49
third party launcher thing and then I never went back.
8:52
Yeah. Have I played it on PC?
8:55
I've played it on GeForce Now so I guess I don't.
9:00
Didn't have to worry about. Didn't have to worry about that
9:02
and I've got an update on the game that I play on GeForce Now
9:04
currently, which is June Awakening and that isn't chapter
9:06
3 of the game has come out. I don't have to pay tax anymore.
9:11
Yes, you were telling me. Yeah, they've that's out now.
9:14
It's all good. Lots of stuff's been updated.
9:18
It seems like a really good update.
9:21
They're improving the game people have.
9:24
So I don't know if I talked about this.
9:27
Apparently there was a massive influx of people when it
9:29
launched and then it dropped off a lot.
9:32
And it I couldn't see that. That's the that's the way with a
9:34
lot of big MMMORP GS. Like there's a right everyone
9:39
wants to jump over, see what it is, and then they tend to just
9:42
slip back to whichever MMO. People were worried because
9:46
apparently the servers thinned out so much that it was like,
9:49
are they going to keep maintaining this game if no
9:52
one's playing it? And so now I, I mean, I've
9:58
noticed it to this basis popping up everywhere.
10:00
It's like pretty active. So what?
10:03
Because one of the main things they added is, you know, the end
10:06
game content, which I'm one of those people who doesn't play
10:10
often enough to ever usually find out what that even means.
10:12
But there are people who slam their way through the game,
10:16
people like you, for example, who'll just, yeah, tear through
10:21
the game and then get to the end and be like, well, what do I do
10:23
now? Fuck this game.
10:25
Well, yeah, I'm I'm not one for grinding.
10:28
Right. And that's the thing that always
10:30
put me off like Wow, like the whole idea is you just keep
10:33
playing the game and say missions over and over to get
10:35
pretty a year and then do it again.
10:40
This is not quite like that. It's got a story, but so far
10:44
it's got that and for somebody. Who?
10:47
Plays more frequently and and more intensely than me.
10:50
Maybe they run out of that too quickly.
10:52
Whereas for me, it's like, well, I'm, I'm, I may never hit the
10:55
end of that. Well, the good thing is they're
10:57
gonna, by the time it gets to Xbox, it's gonna be, yeah, more
11:01
story. Yeah, so I think they've had
11:04
good booths for the last year. You've seen photos of big
11:07
Sandworm and everything, I'm sure.
11:08
So hopefully they've got another one just because I like the
11:11
booth, and then yeah, I'll go ask them.
11:13
But. But now it's out, they might
11:15
not. Yeah, exactly.
11:16
Well, I I thought that about Boulder Skate 3, but they've had
11:19
massive booths every year. Really.
11:21
Yeah. Boulder Skate 30 Boulder Skate 3
11:23
News There's ATV show coming. Oh, you.
11:25
Look. I I did see this and I think
11:27
they should make one slight change to it and not say it's a
11:30
Boulder Gates three-game, a movie or TV show, whatever it
11:34
is, it's a boulder skate TV show.
11:36
Yeah, it shouldn't be based on three.
11:38
Yeah. I think you're right.
11:39
Based it on three you're just gonna upset everyone just.
11:43
Because they're all set in the same world.
11:45
You don't have to say Boulder Skate 3, It's just no or just
11:48
it's just a Forgotten Realms TV show, which is, yes, the world
11:50
that it's set in, Like just yeah.
11:54
So I think them saying Boulder Skate 3 is at the start is just
11:57
trying to get people excited, but I don't think it's going to
11:59
be based on the game because. It's going to have characters in
12:03
it. You can't base it on the game.
12:05
You can't call it Boulders gate three if it doesn't have shadow
12:08
heart in it because I'm going to be upset if shadow art's not in
12:10
it. That's but people are upset.
12:15
They might do something different with Shadow Heart than
12:16
you were trying to do. I doubt that mate.
12:20
I think everybody was trying to do the same thing with shadow
12:23
art that I was the the the show is being done by Craig Mason,
12:31
who did Chernobyl, the really good series Chernobyl.
12:36
And he did. He's done a bunch of good stuff.
12:38
He was in Mythic quest. He was in an episode of mythic
12:41
Quest and he wrote one of the really good episodes of mythic
12:43
Quest. But he also did the Last of Us
12:46
TV series and apparently that's enough for people to be now
12:49
like, oh, that guy, which surprised me because I saw Craig
12:53
Mason. Everyone loves Craig Mason.
12:54
No, apparently not anymore. I know that I thought the last
13:01
time our show started off good from what I heard and then
13:04
people turned on it for some reason.
13:07
Yeah, exactly. And I don't care about that.
13:11
I've not, yeah, watched that, probably not go to.
13:13
I don't know. I don't know why I just can't
13:14
get into that fucking series at all, games or movies, but oh, TV
13:18
series. But yeah, yeah.
13:20
It's like people really did turn on it very quickly and were.
13:24
Very like to the point where there was, I didn't put this
13:26
article in here. I put the Dark Horizons one in
13:28
the Kotaku one. There was an article on Kotaku
13:31
that basically the article was they're making a, a Boulders
13:35
Gate 3 show, but they've picked the fucking worst person in the
13:38
world to do it. And I was like, really?
13:40
Craig Mason. All right.
13:42
OK, I. Thought he was the golden child.
13:45
Evidently not well from the stands for it.
13:48
This is would be his last shot. That's what they're saying.
13:52
How do you get a shot what they want?
13:54
Something like that? At doing a polar skate show.
13:58
Yeah. Well, you you do Chernobyl and.
14:00
Then you Why didn't they ask me? I'm not sure everybody's seen
14:06
your Chernobyl mini series. It was very good.
14:08
I liked it. Yeah.
14:11
Best lost to the Sands of Time probably, but it was very good.
14:16
I need to advertise more. Do you know what yours needed?
14:21
Shadow heart. New shadow heart in it.
14:23
Shadow Heart and that would have pushed it over the edge.
14:26
Yeah, we're going to get someone's going to write in and
14:28
be like fucking Shadow Heart. Each in our own actually.
14:34
I haven't actually met Shadow Heart in the game yet.
14:35
I do have it on Xbox but I. Haven't met one of the first
14:39
characters you meet in the fucking intro demo section of
14:44
the game. Literally the first character
14:46
you meet. I didn't make it that far.
14:49
Right. I was in the thing, the thing
14:51
crashed, I fought something and then that was it.
14:55
Right. I really should go back to that.
14:58
I spent a lot of money on that. It's a fucking good game.
15:03
Yeah, I know people like Astarian, that's a that's the
15:06
vampire character. So it's not a spoiler because
15:09
you find that out pretty quickly too.
15:10
He's the second person you make. No, that's not true.
15:12
Lazelle is the second person. Wait, which order is it?
15:16
Shadowheart and Lazelle you meet on the Nautilus.
15:18
I just like that you see the dice rolls actually happen, it's
15:21
not just in the backgrounds. People that can't, I'm looking
15:24
at, I'm looking at the characters in the game and
15:26
they're all fucking good. It's it's they're.
15:28
They were all made for people to want to have sex with them.
15:32
Yes. Yep.
15:34
Yeah, it's, it's a, it's a horny game.
15:38
Yeah, because it's Dungeons and Dragons.
15:42
And you can do whatever you want in it.
15:44
Dungeons and Dragons. You can have sex with a bear.
15:48
Yes. It's a man who's a druid.
15:51
Druid turns into a bear. Bear but you can do it while you
15:54
but. Still, yeah.
15:56
Which means he can give consent. Exactly.
16:00
Yeah, Yeah, in a Gray area. No, just about turn into a bear
16:06
and I want you to fuck me. Yeah, it's really, I mean, that
16:13
stuff aside, the game is just so incredible in the fact that you
16:17
can do so many. Like, if you think of some weird
16:21
fucking way to solve a problem, you could probably do it.
16:24
It's like, so there's been things where I've tried stuff
16:27
and it's worked and I've been like, holy shit, like how did
16:30
they? Do that.
16:31
It's so long on it. And that's what I said.
16:33
Like do not be expecting Bottlesgate 4.
16:36
Like this is not something you we're going to be able to churn
16:40
out yearly or anything because it is so in depth, Yeah.
16:45
I told you my favorite bit. The main bit that made me love
16:49
the game was that I told you about this with a Zig gnome tied
16:52
to a windmill. Yes.
16:54
The orcs have tied this gnome to the windmill and he's like, save
16:56
me. And if you push the lever the
16:57
wrong way, it speeds up the windmill and he just goes flying
17:00
off into the distance. It's just like, holy shit.
17:03
And then you can find his body later.
17:06
I remember someone was playing it and the end cut scene turned
17:09
out to everyone were were cats because they had wild magic,
17:15
they'd specialized in that and then at the ending it just went
17:18
crazy and then the ending cut scene was just everyone were
17:21
cats. That's awesome.
17:24
Yeah. It's really, really good.
17:26
I feel like just, yeah, it's one of those unique games that it's
17:30
like it it, it was like a massive long thing and it
17:34
worked. It just worked.
17:36
And that's why, hey, you don't need to make everything
17:39
multiplayer. Agreed, I think it has
17:42
multiplayer too though right? Oh did it had Co-op?
17:46
Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:48
I don't think it's a game really designed for that.
17:50
No, no, no. It's you're supposed to.
17:54
Yeah, but I think you're. Supposed to just try to have sex
17:56
with all of the party members. That's that's how you're
17:58
supposed to play. I think You don't want another
17:59
actual person there. A game came out just this week,
18:02
Highgard, which is just another. A lot about this.
18:05
Yeah, it's just another multiplayer run around and shoot
18:09
people, grab loot type of thing. Oh really?
18:11
It's just the same thing over. Isn't there like I don't
18:15
understand this because I don't care about Overwatch but isn't
18:17
there some big Overwatch update that everyone's like Overwatch
18:20
is the best game ever again? Oh, is it?
18:22
No, I haven't heard. I think Overwatch knows
18:29
Overwatch 2 is just Overwatch again.
18:32
OK. Oh, that, that would be old
18:34
news. No, this is 2 days ago.
18:36
What? No, because OK, they've dropped
18:40
the two. It's just Overwatch now Which?
18:43
Is actually, which is what it actually should have been at the
18:46
start because. It's yeah.
18:48
It didn't actually. The game didn't change when they
18:51
released Overwatch 2. In fact, it didn't even get a
18:55
separate achievement list, so it's basically just a title
18:58
update for the game. Oh, weird.
19:03
Because I think originally Overwatch 2 was going to have a
19:05
single player story and I'm going to do all this stuff and
19:08
then they just went, no, it's just back to 5V5.
19:12
Keep doing the same thing over and opening those loot boxes.
19:15
I. Don't care, I don't want to do
19:18
that. No, I.
19:19
Just don't get those games. I mean this is old man yells at
19:23
Cloud. Yeah, it's just I don't
19:24
understand I. Think the problem is is you need
19:27
to spend a lot of time on them. They're not just logging like
19:29
Halo. You can just log in, run around
19:31
and shoot things fine. With Overwatch, you need to know
19:35
which character, which skills you have, what other people on
19:39
your team are selecting. Yeah, you need to work together,
19:44
but how do you can swirl around and shoot things?
19:47
Yeah, yeah, they're not for me, but it is.
19:52
I mean, there are things like Team Fortress.
19:54
Team Fortress was funded play a little bit of, but yeah, I have.
19:58
People get obsessed. Yeah.
20:01
I like role-playing games, I guess.
20:02
Still can't believe Counter Strike is going that's.
20:06
Wild. I mean, we played a lot of
20:08
Counter Strike. We did, but we, we, we were
20:10
playing it. It was a mod.
20:12
Yeah, it's half it was. Just a mod for Half Life.
20:15
It wasn't its own thing, it was just a mod.
20:19
I'm not sure I've ever played the standalone Counter Strike.
20:23
Like, I'm not thinking, I don't think I have either.
20:25
I think I I've only played the mod when we're looking.
20:28
Because that has like boxes and stuff now too, right?
20:31
Counter Strike, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:32
That's Counter Strike. That's that was one of the big.
20:34
Games I. Played getting like a special
20:37
knife and all this stuff and yeah, no, there was no lead
20:40
boxes or anything like that. It's just you did the map and
20:43
then. You tried to play at the bomb
20:45
and yeah, and you, yeah. And then you just kept playing.
20:50
Yeah, forever and ever and ever until it was 6:00 AM and you're
20:54
like, oh fuck, I was supposed to go to work today.
20:56
And then forget which ashtray which can you'd been using as an
20:59
ashtray, you take a. Sip Yeah.
21:05
Oh, those were the days. Oh girl.
21:08
Those were the days, yeah. Not once they saw how we lived
21:14
our lives. No, they had no interest at all.
21:18
Brought one to one of our land parties once that didn't work
21:22
out. No, no, really, you're going to
21:25
let her play in everything. Yeah, she didn't want to.
21:29
Can you believe it, listeners? She just said witnesses.
21:32
Well, I'm going to go now. Yeah, Yep.
21:37
And we played till 6:00 in the morning.
21:39
Yeah, total annihilation I think, actually.
21:41
I used to love Total Annihilation, especially when we
21:45
had the rule like you got half an hour planning time, so it
21:49
wasn't like when I was one point which could be over quite
21:51
quickly. So everyone having like a huge
21:53
face. See, I'm atrocious at those
21:55
games, real time strategy games, and I don't play them anymore as
21:58
a result. But that was fun because we're
22:01
all in the room together and like, yeah, yeah, it just
22:05
became, it was fun because it was.
22:07
It didn't matter that I was bad at it because I was just.
22:09
We were just having fun and. It was fun and make fun of each
22:12
other laughing. Yeah, and we're in the room.
22:15
It was sort of vibe was very different whereas like I think
22:17
even if we played a game like that online, now it.
22:20
Wouldn't be the same we're. Going to try and play something.
22:24
We are, we should. We just need to plan what it is.
22:28
Exactly. Should come in with a plan
22:30
first. If you have any ideas of what
22:32
you want to see me and Matt play, let us know.
22:35
Yeah, yeah, gonna have if you want to see Luke dress up as
22:40
Shadow Heart and we could play whatever that would be called.
22:43
Yep, I'm up for that. I'm going to.
22:47
Etsy Luke's Gate 3. Sure, I'd get something made on
22:53
Etsy for a few $100. The Switch 2 news, I remembered
23:01
I was going to mention this before Borderlands 4 not coming
23:06
to Switch soon because we talked about this thing the other week.
23:10
It's got well, Randy Pitchford insists it does not have any
23:15
performance issues. Everybody else insists it does,
23:18
and apparently there's a way worse on the Switch too, so
23:20
they've actually put that on hold.
23:22
I have a different theory go on. My theory is the game didn't do
23:27
that well when it came out and they just don't want to invest
23:31
any more money in it. That could be.
23:35
I have not heard as much about it as I you know as previous
23:40
Borderlands. Games, Yeah, it sort of just
23:42
came out and then that was it. There was no real hype around
23:48
it. Yeah, I, I mean, it's the fourth
23:52
one, yeah. I think they missed their time
23:55
in timing it up with the movie, so I think that they may have
23:59
rushed it a little bit. They.
24:00
Missed a lot of the mark with the movie to be honest.
24:02
And that's why I think they were trying to rush this out a little
24:05
bit more to go forget about the movie.
24:07
Here's here's another game. And I think, yeah, I think the
24:10
reason they just don't want to invest more money into it
24:12
because it didn't make as much as soul planning.
24:15
Yeah, yeah. I mean that.
24:17
Could be true the the audience for it isn't really going to be
24:22
Nintendo players. No, no, it's APC game almost.
24:29
Like, yeah, yeah, the. Reviews aren't good either for
24:34
Borderlands 4. It's got three stars.
24:37
It's like, yeah. Steam Wilson too.
24:41
I don't even think I've finished.
24:43
It I forgot it came out. Well, yeah, there was no real
24:48
fanfare for it leading up to it or anything.
24:52
Yeah, mixed reviews. Jeez.
24:57
Yeah. Oh my God.
25:00
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not looking good.
25:02
That's a shame. Yep.
25:03
So, yeah, So that's why that's that.
25:05
Those reviews. That's my theory.
25:07
Why not? Coming, that could be true and
25:08
why and and considering to the performance issues, let's say it
25:11
does have performance issues. You combine those two things
25:14
then. Yeah, that means.
25:16
Well, let's not invest in that then, yeah.
25:18
To fix those performance issues is time and money, and why would
25:21
you waste that when we can work on the next thing?
25:25
Yeah. Which I think the next thing for
25:28
them is another Gears of War. For 2K or?
25:32
For Gearbox. Gearbox is Gearbox doing that?
25:36
I don't know anymore. Well, that's right, no,
25:39
Microsoft owned Gears of War, don't they?
25:41
Yeah, I don't know what Gearbox. Gearbox Publishing owns a lot of
25:45
stuff, but they don't make those.
25:48
What does Gearbox make these days?
25:51
Games. Borderlands.
25:53
Our home world. Love home world you can they
25:59
can't really claim home world still that's.
26:02
Well, they can't. They bought it like Pennantella
26:06
VR. That's that's because of Brandy
26:11
and them being friends. Yeah.
26:15
For sure. Get before EDA I think is the
26:20
next one. Generally played the Gears of
26:24
War. Oh yeah, it is like the studios
26:27
and the coalition. So yeah, they have sold that
26:30
off. OK, well on the subject of
26:35
games, GTA 6 still coming in November.
26:41
Finally. It's a long way away, but.
26:44
Getting closer pretty quickly. We're already in the February,
26:47
yeah. But the thing I thought was
26:49
interesting only because I think you've mentioned before that
26:51
you're like, why do they even need to advertise this?
26:53
Yes, right, Everybody knows. But they've said they've got
26:57
some massive marketing campaign coming.
27:00
And they said specifically, you're going to be amazed at how
27:03
creative they've been coming up with this shit.
27:05
And so I was like, why? They could just get any streamer
27:10
anywhere, just announce it on the YouTube, which gets millions
27:14
of views. The second they release a
27:16
trailer. Your marketing's done.
27:18
I. Feel like you don't even have to
27:19
do anything. Just put the fucking game out
27:21
and it markets then, you know, everybody knows.
27:22
But yeah, you know, they don't want to risk that.
27:24
And. And then what is the quote
27:26
exactly? Something about I think I think
27:29
you'll be pretty astonished by the creativity that Rockstar's
27:31
marketing team brings to consumers in the coming months.
27:35
The fuck does that mean? Because I even remember they
27:37
spent a lot of advertising on five, like that was a big chunk
27:41
of their budget. Yes.
27:42
Are they advertising 4 on these on these games?
27:45
But for six, they don't need it. Like if I go onto YouTube now
27:49
and look at the the latest trailer.
27:53
They don't need it, but like, I mean, surely they've done the
27:57
math and they're like, if we spend this, it'll be worth it.
28:01
You would think. Be quiet, all right?
28:04
Yeah. Sorry, YouTube was yelling at
28:06
me. Rockstar.
28:12
You feel the silence while you're typing them.
28:16
All right, not coming up GTA6 trailer 2, the second trailer
28:24
from Rockstar Games. I know.
28:28
Yeah, Rockstar Games. Yeah.
28:32
Second trailer. What the?
28:36
Where is it? We're six.
28:39
What are you releasing so much? Where is this?
28:41
Where? They can market this all they
28:42
want, I'm still not going to play it.
28:43
I'm still going to play the hell out of it.
28:45
Yeah, I. Don't know, I can't fight or
28:47
even on their side, I can't see it, but I know it's going to be
28:49
a lot. Oh, here it is.
28:51
Yeah. So the the second trailer, their
28:53
first trailer got 273 million views.
28:57
Wow. And their second trailer got 150
29:00
million views. Yeah.
29:03
Like the views are already there.
29:05
That's all they need to do. Every single news source is
29:08
going to pick up on it. Everyone's going to tweet, sing,
29:13
talk, I. Don't know, but I feel like it's
29:15
the same with movies, Like a certain movie comes out and
29:17
you're like, well it markets itself but they still do it so.
29:22
I think movies are for cinema releases.
29:24
I think they need to still do a lot more marketing.
29:27
Maybe. There's some stuff where I go,
29:29
oh, I would have liked to have seen that but didn't hear
29:32
anything about it. So I think you believe these
29:34
need to. Indiana Jones, right?
29:36
They didn't really need to market Indiana Jones to the
29:38
scale that they did. No, people, people who wanted to
29:41
see that knew it was coming out, yes, went to see it, right.
29:44
Well, I don't know, maybe this maybe there's an argument that
29:48
like there's people out there that just for some reason don't
29:51
know Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming.
29:53
And then if they don't market it, you know?
29:58
I'm pretty sure they'll find out about it.
30:01
Because then, like, if you're a GTA fan, right, they don't do
30:06
any marketing, Sure you'll buy the game, but if they do these
30:08
stunts and like you get all frothing at the mouth about it,
30:11
maybe that is better for them. Maybe I think if.
30:15
You tell all your friends that you might not have told, even
30:18
though they probably already know about it.
30:20
You know what I think it might be to make stockholders happier.
30:24
Probably. Like, look at all this.
30:28
Look at all this support we're getting.
30:31
Look at all the. Money, I think look at all the
30:33
hype yeah don't don't worry even though we've.
30:35
Spent the. Money.
30:37
On the marketing that we just did, yeah.
30:41
That's my theory now. I just don't care about GTAI
30:46
don't know why I can't get. Into it, that's just straight
30:48
because it's I actually do enjoy.
30:49
I've played it a few Times Now. Yeah.
30:52
Because I've played it on 360, I've played it on the Xbox One,
30:56
I've played it in the Series XI, played it on PC, and each of
30:59
them, I played it a couple of times on them because there's
31:02
the normal version and then it's the enhanced version.
31:06
Yeah, this is 5, right? 5 Yep, yeah.
31:10
I just couldn't get into it. I tried it's that's not
31:12
interesting to me. I don't know why.
31:16
What I should make is another LA Noir.
31:19
Yeah, I couldn't get super into that either.
31:22
I'd liked Red Dead. I never finished it.
31:25
It's two. I finished one.
31:26
I never finished two. I'd like to play more than like
31:28
GTA. I'm.
31:29
Playing one again at the moment as well just.
31:33
Yeah, because they remastered. It right?
31:34
Yep, I just finished Undead Nightmare on the PC.
31:37
Yeah, OK. And now I'm playing it again on
31:40
the Xbox. Yeah, it's a good game.
31:42
But you can see that you can see a lot more.
31:46
There's a lot more to do in two. Yeah.
31:49
A lot more different random encounters.
31:51
The random encounters in one are all pretty much the same.
31:54
Yeah, OK. But with the random encounters
31:56
in two, you can see they've put a lot more work into it.
32:00
OK. And then focused on the stupid
32:04
online. Well, I mean, people seem to
32:09
have fun with that, we say. Stupid.
32:11
It's my FIFA6 as well that yeah, they're going to try and get the
32:15
online out as quickly as possible actually.
32:17
That's the whole thing I because, you know, we talked
32:19
about the other week, there was the they were cracking down
32:22
because people were remaking the Charlie Kirk thing in in fire in
32:26
GTA5. I didn't even know you could do
32:27
that. But like, yeah, like.
32:31
I knew you could make you could. Make missions.
32:33
I didn't know you could play missions like that.
32:34
On I knew you could make your own own, like racing maps and
32:37
stuff, like with the stunt races and things like that.
32:40
I knew you could do that, but I didn't know you could make your
32:41
own missions. That's crazy that you can just
32:44
do all this weird shit in there. And be a horrible person while
32:48
doing it. Yeah, you don't have to be.
32:52
But you sure could probably. You could probably go in there
32:54
now and still find it was a version of.
32:57
Yeah, they use anyway. Yeah, there was some.
33:02
Some code. Word they were using.
33:03
Around it. Stupid.
33:07
The Switch is the Nintendo's best selling console ever.
33:09
That's the other switching use just to get that out of the way.
33:13
Officially I think it's the best selling console ever, which I
33:16
think surpassed the the DS or 3DS or one of those.
33:20
Oh, OK. The handhelds have been very,
33:24
you know, very popular obviously over the years and this is the
33:28
most popular one, most best selling one I should say.
33:32
Yep, I still call it bullshit. And the most sold game?
33:36
Remember when Wii Sports was the game that they classified as the
33:41
most sold game which it just came free with the Wii?
33:44
Like yeah, that doesn't count. That doesn't count.
33:46
No. No, I agree with you there.
33:49
Because you didn't actually buy the game, you brought a console.
33:53
Correct, and it happens to be honest.
33:54
Like if you know Alex Kidd, Miracle World was the top
33:59
selling CE game. No, it's just shoved into every
34:02
console. And I loved that game.
34:07
I watched a video of that game and I was like, oh God, like.
34:12
It's not going to be what I remember.
34:14
It doesn't hold up, no. That's a shame because I really
34:17
did love that game. Yeah, when I was growing up,
34:21
like I used to know had a sheet because you know how you get to
34:24
the bosses and you have to play paper, scissors, rock?
34:26
Yes, I had a sheet written down that had.
34:30
If you get them all, they're all the same.
34:32
The first time you guess. Yeah, so it's but you get one
34:36
wrong. So I had the list of who Rock
34:39
Hills paper and just could go through and then just could do
34:42
it by memory to to an extent. Yeah.
34:46
Couldn't not do that now. I feel like the thing I remember
34:49
most about it is I remember the very first bit where you're
34:51
dropping down, you know, as the birds and all that, as the very
34:54
first part of that game. And then also I remember that I
34:57
think it's the very end of the game where you've got to swim
35:00
into the castle and there's all spikes everywhere.
35:02
And those are the two things I remember the most.
35:06
But then when I, like I said, when I see videos of it, I'm
35:08
like, Oh my God, it's so janky. Like, but I and and like, I'm
35:14
sure the controls are atrocious and Oh yeah, spent so many hours
35:17
playing that shit. Because there's a crappy D pad
35:20
that you're playing with and you save up your money to buy it.
35:23
So. So you get the motorcycle which
35:25
you crash all at most immediately.
35:27
You should be back to walking again.
35:29
Yeah, Tim, it's, I mean, kids these days don't know the kind
35:36
of shit we put up with with games.
35:37
Especially because this if you died, that was it.
35:42
You had your life. You had a.
35:43
Couple of continues. And then that was it.
35:45
There was no just going back to the start of the game, no.
35:49
Yeah, back to the start of the whole fucking game and not even
35:54
one of those old games that had codes where you could put the
35:56
code. In too.
35:57
It's just that's it. You're starting again.
36:00
The worst defender for that, which I understand why was so
36:04
the Atari links, which you have. You have my Atari links and you
36:08
have my copy of this game, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure on
36:10
Atari Links, which is a game I really liked, but there's no
36:14
save on the Atari links. No.
36:17
No save at all. You can't save a game.
36:20
It's not a thing that you can do on that console is save a game.
36:24
You play it and then if you turn it off, you play from the start
36:27
again next time you turn it on. That's how it works.
36:29
And to get around that Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, you
36:33
can have this massive fucking 64 character, I forget how long it
36:38
is, code of letters and numbers. And if you write that down and
36:45
then type it back in there with the fucking D pad and clicking
36:47
things, it will theoretically. Take you to where you were the
36:52
the. State and but like Jesus, that's
36:55
dire, especially if you're on the bus and you're like, oh,
36:58
this is my stop. If you're right down this
37:00
fucking 64 code thing like come on.
37:05
I still don't know how the Atari Lynx was beaten by the Gameboy.
37:10
Batteries cost. I think that's really what games
37:14
batteries cost. Games that.
37:15
Is so much better all all the. Atari.
37:19
Stuff. Back then, like the Atari
37:20
Jaguar, they just went too hard on.
37:22
Like yes it is superior, but you don't have the content.
37:28
Yes, and and if you don't have if you don't have the people
37:32
buying it, then you don't have anyone trying to make game for
37:35
it, because why would you waste time in making something,
37:37
reporting something to it that. Nintendo just got it right with
37:41
the compromises like like even the Game Gear right?
37:44
The Atari links in the Game Gear were better.
37:48
Yeah, Like, you can't argue, right?
37:50
They were better. They were colour.
37:52
They had backlights. They played like the Game Gear
37:56
literally played Master System. Yeah, but you get the adapter
37:59
and plug it in, and I've still got that around here somewhere.
38:03
And you could play that for an hour until the batteries ran out
38:06
and. The Game Boy would run out.
38:09
Yeah, the Game Boy you could play for like 6 hours, yes.
38:14
Yeah. And yeah, you just if you wanted
38:17
light or a magnifying glass, you have to buy the adapter.
38:19
But yeah, black and white and till the Game Boy Colour came
38:24
out, I. Always wanted that, never had a
38:27
Game Boy. You had ADS?
38:31
Oh, yeah, later, that's when I had I had a job, yes.
38:35
So I had Game Boy came out when? I was at school, I think I had a
38:38
Game Boy Advance. I have one right now.
38:43
It still works. It's in there and he's.
38:45
Played Advanced Wars on it. Advanced Wars, Yeah.
38:50
Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, the two Zelda games
38:52
that are on Gameboy Colour. Played those on my Gameboy
38:57
Advance. Actually, it's Dave's Gameboy
38:58
Advance that I have. Oh, you just stole it from him.
39:02
I was gifted it I believe is. We'll go with that, are we?
39:06
Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, we used it in a film.
39:09
And you just held on to it. It's a film.
39:13
It's some fucking stupid thing We may call Jab Jab Russian
39:17
Betrayal, which you've seen. Yeah.
39:19
Witnesses. You will not be seeing you.
39:21
Will not be seeing. It wait, I've got a clip of it
39:23
up before the clip where I've got the guns and I shoot myself.
39:26
Yes. Yeah, that movie.
39:30
Witnesses. There's a lot of stuff we filmed
39:31
that you'll never see. Oh yeah.
39:35
Ever. No, no, that's the thing we used
39:40
to do. There wasn't a lot to do in
39:42
Penrith. In the 90s before YouTube, which
39:45
is probably a lucky thing. Yeah, because otherwise it would
39:48
be on YouTube and we wouldn't be able to say you're never going
39:51
to see that. No, because it'd be out there
39:53
for everyone. This is back when we used to
39:57
have to share stuff on VHS. Yeah, if you wanted a copy of
40:00
it. Yeah, it was filmed on Mini DV,
40:05
most of it think, and then edited on, mostly on Dan's iMac
40:11
I think, and then later on my G4 Mac.
40:18
The other end of what we capture is because we don't have the
40:20
license to the music we used. No, definitely not.
40:25
And we always certainly infringe copyright from certain other
40:28
aspects as well. Oh yeah, yeah.
40:31
Just the point. It's out there, witnesses.
40:33
It is. It's not out making it.
40:36
It's not out there. It's on my file server
40:37
downstairs and it's not getting off that.
40:39
But we had fun making it. That's all you need to know.
40:42
Yeah, I fond memories of of, of all that stuff.
40:48
Yes, yeah, wish we could do it again.
40:51
Stupid life. Yep, look, I've got some
40:56
exciting news for you. The CEO of AMD says.
41:00
I don't know if he was supposed to say this, but he has said new
41:03
Xbox 2027 on track on track for release next year.
41:11
That's exciting. Yep, I think this was in the
41:15
context of the Steam Machine being discussed.
41:20
So, but there's so there's a memory crisis at the moment.
41:25
Yes, because of AI. Yeah, so.
41:30
So the Steam Machine is delayed, and apparently that might delay
41:33
other things too. Maybe.
41:35
This Xbox AI is stealing all of our memory.
41:38
Yeah, I keep on Instagram Reels. I it knows what I like.
41:44
It's stupid AI videos of like someone diving off a diving
41:47
board into an empty pool and like splatting and then getting
41:50
up and running off. And it's like caption is This is
41:53
why Ram is so expensive right now.
41:56
And there was one of like, it's it's like a highway and all
42:00
these cars and like a woman riding past on a pig.
42:02
It's like, This is why Ram is so expensive.
42:06
And I'm like, yeah, but it's look at this video.
42:08
It's great. So yeah, no, don't.
42:12
I'm not buying RAM anytime soon. And yeah, and that is actually
42:15
going to increase the cost of any.
42:17
Ram's inside stuff I buy so I guess I am but.
42:20
Yeah, but I mean like it's going to greatly increase the cost of
42:23
any consoles coming out. Yeah, future.
42:27
Yeah. I wonder if it's going to be a
42:29
new new Xbox or just like a mid X generation upgrade pro or?
42:37
Something. Wait, do they already do that?
42:40
Do I have the best Xbox Series X?
42:43
And I don't. Think there's a better one now?
42:44
They did release one that was sort of sparkly, I think, but I
42:47
don't think it was sort of that much different.
42:49
Yeah, I think, oh, they released one that had like a bigger hard
42:52
drive, alright. That was like 2 terabyte.
42:56
Yeah, because it's the PlayStation 5 Pro.
42:59
Yeah, which is which is better hardware?
43:03
I don't think there's a better Xbox.
43:04
Hardware. No, no.
43:06
So maybe this might just be that.
43:08
See how old I am? I don't even know now.
43:10
Before you would have been all over this.
43:12
Yeah, we don't know the best. Xbox maybe?
43:15
It works. Yeah, it does.
43:18
That's all you need to care about.
43:19
Maybe it does. I haven't turned it on.
43:22
It might work. I've played things on here.
43:23
Now I've become APC gamer accidentally because of Dune and
43:27
a Switch gamer because of Animal Crossing.
43:29
Oh yeah. How's that going?
43:31
Still fights. My daughter is a hoarder, so
43:36
we've got this. My whole family's on the island.
43:40
Yep. And it's basically I had to put
43:41
up a fence and I've told her keep your shit on your side of
43:45
the fence because she just puts shit everywhere on the island.
43:51
And I mean whatever. Is she sticking to the rule
43:55
though? Staying away from.
43:57
Yeah, yeah. No, she's very good.
43:58
She's very good. She's just, yeah, she's funny.
44:01
So what she calls, she wants to do everything like.
44:04
Yep. Everything's fun and exciting
44:07
and needs everything. And she goes so she the other
44:12
day she's plays. I don't even play this game at
44:16
all or I. Played it but a very long time
44:18
ago. Did you play the DLC?
44:20
God no. Yeah, OK, so the the Animal
44:23
Crossing New Horizons DLC new for what's it called?
44:28
Happy home? No, whatever it's called.
44:31
Yeah. You get a job, you go design
44:33
vacation homes for people. So basically the the way it
44:37
works is you go, you go to work, there's people hanging out
44:39
there, you go talk to them, they go, I want a vacation home.
44:41
These are the things I like. And then you, you make that, you
44:46
put all the furniture and design it and all that kind of stuff,
44:48
put a wallpaper, all that kind of shit.
44:50
And it's like, you know, I want a, a cosy reading spot.
44:55
And so you've got to put like you put bookshelves and you you
44:59
kind of match it to what they. Want.
45:00
Do you actually have to do that or no?
45:03
As I learned from the way my daughter does it, which is she
45:07
does the bare minimum where it'll tell you these are the
45:10
three items this person wants in the room and she just shoves
45:14
those in a corner. And then she literally made one
45:17
where she put up like it was a prison.
45:20
It was like like grating and like shoved this guy in the
45:24
corner and like fenced him in because he was walking around
45:26
the room. She's like, get over there, put
45:28
him in the corner, fenced him in like 5 toilets over there.
45:31
Like all this weird shit. She's like look.
45:33
And I was like, Oh my God, it's like 500 fans on the roof all
45:37
going. The.
45:40
Weirdest thing you've ever seen. And then she goes done.
45:42
And then he. And then it does this montage
45:44
where the the character walks around and goes because they
45:49
love their house so much. And I'm like, this is hilarious.
45:52
Yeah. So no, as long as you hit
45:54
certain. Those.
45:56
Requirements. Yep, they'll just doesn't care.
45:59
They'll love it, yeah. Because you know, I'll be all.
46:03
That though. I'll just put in those three
46:04
things and that would be it. Yeah.
46:07
And because Jenna isn't playing it, too, and she's like, oh,
46:09
man, I always like try to make him look nice.
46:11
And I'm like, I wonder if this will pass.
46:14
It will pass. It will pass, Yeah.
46:20
He. Did my parents literally locked
46:22
a man in prison and he loved it? It's fine.
46:28
Oh that's still that's so sweet that you're all playing the
46:30
same. It just sucks that you can't
46:32
share it though. Like a cross.
46:35
No, but because it's on the switch, you kind of can sit
46:38
together and do stuff. And it's like, no, it's, it's,
46:41
yeah, it's fun. It's been good.
46:43
And it's like it's oh, there's a thing, too.
46:45
I said it's a stupid question because she was in the middle of
46:49
playing it. And I said, oh, what does he
46:50
want for his vacation? And she goes, I don't know, I
46:52
can't read. Good point.
46:58
Good point. Yeah.
47:02
So she she has no idea what they want.
47:05
She's just. No, because they do give you a
47:06
little rundown. She can just see the highlighted
47:09
items, which is she knows she's got to put those in, and then
47:13
she does whatever the fuck she wants after that.
47:14
Yeah, and you just forgot that she couldn't read and.
47:18
Then every now and then she'll go, Dad, dad, what does this
47:21
say? Because she's cottoned on to the
47:23
fact that something important is happening.
47:25
And then you tell her she goes, oh, OK, cool.
47:28
I'm being scammed for more money, aren't I?
47:31
Yeah, Tom Nook, actually, she is jealous that Jenna and I both
47:35
have bigger houses because she's just not doing any of that
47:39
stuff. You know, you pay him off and he
47:40
builds your house bigger and all that kind of shit.
47:42
She's not doing any of that so. Yeah, Does she know she's meant
47:46
she's being because. She wants self ignoring it.
47:48
She just puts them out in her fucking yard.
47:51
She catches a fish. Fish tank goes in the yard.
47:56
It's her stuff. And I'm like, you should sell
47:57
that stuff to to Tommy and Timmy.
48:00
And she's like, no, that's my fish.
48:01
All right, fine. You're getting a bigger house
48:04
then. No, Nope.
48:10
All right. No, I recommend.
48:12
It's good. I probably won't get back into
48:15
it. I wouldn't.
48:17
Have thought you even play your switch?
48:19
No, no, the last time I played it was when we were in France.
48:24
Wow, yeah. That was, we were brought extra
48:28
controllers and Mario Party just for that.
48:31
Yeah, that's a long time ago. Yes.
48:35
When the fuck was that? 2019.
48:39
OK, I was going to say you knew. Because it was 7.
48:41
Years ago it was. Just before the world caught on
48:44
fire. That's right.
48:45
But remember when I remember flying out and hearing rumours
48:49
on the news about this cold symptom start starting to spread
48:54
a little bit, Then we got back and then it was a few months
48:57
after that that it the world went, oh, that's.
48:59
Right, because you went to Scotland afterwards and we went
49:02
to, we went to Germany. But yeah, that was just the
49:05
start of the pandemic is when, yeah, we were there.
49:11
Wow. So we planned that at a very
49:13
good time. Disneyland in Paris.
49:16
God, that's the worst Disneyland.
49:19
It is the worst. I I thought people were joking
49:22
when they said like. I mean, it's not like it's still
49:25
good, but comparatively it's bad.
49:27
Yeah, and I thought it was just a joke, but no, they the staff
49:31
members aren't as nice as. No, they're French.
49:34
Yeah. This is not it doesn't have
49:38
that, you know, suck up. You can do no wrong thing that
49:45
Disney usually has. They're a bit like, no, no, no,
49:47
fuck you. I mean, rightly so in some
49:52
cases. But yeah, normally at Disney you
49:54
can just make weird demands and you know.
49:57
Which I've never made any weird demands, but just I've always
50:00
had Donald directions to be nice.
50:01
So I just want to meet Donald. That's all I need.
50:04
You just need Donald. I'm happy.
50:07
We did look into how much it would be for us to go to Disney,
50:12
and we've determined that it's going to be enough, that we're
50:14
going to wait until Lira's a bit older.
50:17
OK, Yeah, because you want to get the most out of it.
50:21
Yeah. And it's like, so even just so
50:26
the cost of going and getting in right is one thing, but then
50:31
then you have to go in the lines.
50:32
So there's more cost associated with like trying to skip the
50:35
lines. But then apparently that's just
50:37
baseline now if you don't buy the Fastpass, like Fastpass is
50:42
what no pass was, you know, 10 years ago.
50:47
And then, yeah, So I don't know what the equivalent of actually
50:51
Fast Pass is now. Like if you're at Fast Pass, you
50:53
just one ride a day, apparently. Oh, that's because.
50:55
You just wait. God, I remember when we went to
50:58
this, when we went, we got basically went on every single
51:01
ride because we. Did because?
51:02
Single rider and we didn't give a fast A.
51:04
Single rider or you would get a a pass for.
51:07
Being a cripple. For being a cripple, yeah,
51:10
basically. But the amount of people who
51:12
went on a single rider line and then would see that you should
51:16
know me, the people who go on the single ride line and they
51:17
go, oh, I want to go with my friend and so like.
51:20
No, that's not the. Single rider line.
51:22
Yeah, because when Jenna and I have been, we've done that too,
51:24
single rider line. But if we go with Lira, we.
51:27
Can't do that. We're going to be in line, so
51:29
yeah. It's going to be a lot of
51:31
standing around, figure, all that.
51:33
I remember when the when Dan and Dave and I were at Universal in
51:38
California, they had just brought out their equivalent of
51:42
fast past whatever it was, and no one was doing it.
51:44
And so it was literally we would walk up to a ride and go in the
51:47
express lane or whatever the fuck it was called.
51:49
I can't remember, but just walk onto rides like past all these
51:52
families. And I felt bad because there
51:54
were these big lines of all these kids and the kids.
51:56
And you're walking past ride second or third time.
51:59
Yeah, exactly. It's like, fuck you guys.
52:03
I felt bad. You do feel kind of bad, but
52:06
then I think my time's worth it. Yeah.
52:08
And I do have to spend money, yes, like to get that so.
52:13
But yeah, I'm very impatient and I will pay extra for what I'd
52:16
love to do is have go out and do that like super expensive $7000
52:21
a person ticket where you basically get, you get escorted
52:26
around. Oh, right.
52:29
So and you just walk up to the rides, but I think it's, I think
52:31
it's like 7000 and you've got to have like a minimum of 5 or 10
52:36
people with you. You're at 7000 each and.
52:39
They just push everyone out of the way.
52:41
Yeah, let you on. Amazing.
52:44
But I need to win Lotto for that.
52:48
Yeah. Go on then I might invite you.
52:53
I would appreciate it if you did.
52:55
We need to go on the Star Wars ride four times.
52:58
I've never done that. I've never done that right.
53:00
Because I want to do the pilot, the navigator, the gunner, and
53:04
there's another job I need to do all of them.
53:07
The janitor. The janitor?
53:09
Yep. You have to unclog the toilet
53:10
after Chewie's used it. Yep, I I still think you've.
53:15
Also, I still think you've. Once I get there and I get the
53:18
seated milling Falcon, I think I will still cry.
53:22
So you can get life-size. Yeah, yeah.
53:29
I think I still like Star Wars, just a different version of Star
53:33
Wars. I know you like you like a Star
53:36
Wars that doesn't exist anymore. Yes, yeah, I like is it, is it
53:42
legacy or is it? Yeah, legacy, Legacy.
53:45
Sure. Legacy.
53:46
Old. Man, Star Wars, Yes.
53:49
Yeah, No, I know, I know. We don't have any Star Wars news
53:54
this week, do we? No.
53:56
What else we don't have? This is after party related.
53:59
No one died as far as one. Died again.
54:01
Catherine O'Hara took the wind out of everybody's steam,
54:03
everybody's sails. As far as death goes, they were
54:07
just like, no, not this week. Not this week.
54:09
Oh, hold on a little bit longer. We've got some Olympics news do
54:14
you want to hear about? I have actually already annoyed
54:18
about the Olympics. Go on, Winter Olympics is on in
54:22
Italy. I know I didn't know this until
54:24
I logged onto YouTube today and then there was all on my top
54:29
recommended thing was all this sports stuff and I'm what the
54:32
hell is this? And then I found out Olympics is
54:36
good. The Olympics is on.
54:38
Wait, do I get that? What's mine?
54:41
No, mine's just all the same shit I always see.
54:43
Yeah, mine, mine just the top bar for some reason was just all
54:46
sports and. Yeah, car rebuilding, if
54:49
anyone's interested, in case you thought it was something weirder
54:52
than that. Car rebuilding, tech stuff,
54:55
people playing survival games. That's what I watch on YouTube.
55:00
Oh, something that has just popped up and I don't know where
55:03
this came from, is armoured MMA. Armoured MMA.
55:09
So basically they're like full armor, hitting each other with
55:13
axes and swords and. Wow, AMA axe fight.
55:19
Yep. A brutal cage fighting sport
55:22
that mixes steel weapons and armor into the world of mixed
55:26
martial arts that seems. Cool, that came from nowhere,
55:31
but I watched a few of them but for the most part what's on
55:34
there is just frauded. Our First Amendment order of
55:39
stuff. Flat Earth stuff.
55:41
God, how did that come up? The other day?
55:45
I can't remember. Something came up and I was
55:47
like, oh, this is a sovereign citizen thing, but it was in a
55:51
context where I couldn't be like, oh, I know what this is.
55:55
I can't remember, Maybe it's at work or something.
56:00
The Olympics news that I have here is that it's Dick news,
56:05
actually. They they still trying to get
56:07
the Olympians not to have sex. No, it's that apparently the ski
56:13
jumpers are injecting their Dicks to increase the size of
56:18
them because it gives them an advantage, right?
56:23
Apparently. So here's the This is the
56:27
article from Aztecnica. As the 2026 Olympic Winter Games
56:30
begin today, news articles are swelling with juicy claims that
56:33
male ski jumpers have injected their penises with fillers to
56:37
gain a flight advantage as a rumor.
56:41
As the rumor goes, having a bigger bulge on a required 3D
56:44
body scan taken in pre season could earn jumpers extra
56:47
centimeters of material in their jumpsuit and more surface area
56:52
to glide to the gold. Oh.
56:54
OK. Yeah, I can see.
56:56
That a small increase can make a difference.
56:59
So apparently they've been injecting their Wang to make it
57:03
bigger. And how do you test for that?
57:07
Well, I don't know. And is that illegal?
57:13
I don't know if it's against the.
57:14
It's not a good idea though, apparently.
57:15
I think it's. Yeah, I, I because I have seen
57:18
people who have read stories of people who have injected that
57:20
and injected their balls to be massive for some reason.
57:25
We talked about this on the show, didn't we?
57:28
Yeah. The guy who died as a result.
57:30
Yeah. Doing that too much or
57:32
something? Kept doing it and doing it, but
57:33
yeah I doubt getting uncomfortable.
57:35
Just talking about it. But I doubt this is against the
57:37
rules yet. It, I'm sure it will be.
57:41
Yeah. And this article then goes on,
57:44
turns into a list of things that you could inject in there, which
57:47
is very funny. It's like hydro hyaluronic acid,
57:52
which is, I've heard of that. It's the thing you put on your
57:56
skin. I think for like to make your
58:00
skin smooth. People who injected like oil.
58:06
What's the saying? Paraffin like paraffin wax,
58:09
like, that's not a good idea, is it?
58:13
But I mean, this doesn't seem like a good idea at all.
58:15
No, but they'll do. Unless your only goal is to do
58:19
better at the Olympics, maybe then it makes sense on paper.
58:22
But. Injecting oil, commonly known as
58:26
synthol or site enhancement oil into the arms is a dangerous,
58:30
non functional and purely cosmetic practice designed to
58:33
create the illusion of larger muscles.
58:36
Oh, so simple. So you just pump it in there and
58:40
it looks like you've got muscles when you do it.
58:42
That's. I mean, I think that's weird,
58:45
but Oh well, Yeah, well, make you.
58:49
Stronger probably actually makes you weaker.
58:51
Really. Right.
58:55
Because in my head, you're carrying around extra weight.
58:57
That's not. That's not.
58:58
Functional. Yeah, exactly.
58:59
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, no, I, I don't think
59:04
I'll be doing that. So I guess I'm going to lose at
59:07
the ski jumping at the Olympics this year.
59:10
Yeah, yeah. You.
59:12
Were going to compete though until we realized you were up
59:15
against these cheetahs. Yep, and I just if I'm showing
59:17
my bulge, I'm just showing the bulge I got.
59:20
Yeah, yeah. Well, maybe that's what I'm
59:23
trying to. Maybe it will give you the
59:27
surface area advantage. I just cut it.
59:29
Oh. Big mistake.
59:32
A big mistake. So you don't like you don't like
59:35
the Winter Olympics? I don't.
59:36
Winter Olympics is better than the summer.
59:38
I do think the Winter Olympics is better than this summer, but
59:40
I don't watch any of the Olympics.
59:43
No, I don't really either. I'm just happy that there's
59:46
remember when you we were young and when any of the Olympics
59:50
were on a Commonwealth Games, That's all you could watch on
59:52
television. Yeah.
59:54
And how it's a very depressing time.
59:56
Yeah, yeah. Because in Australia when Sydney
1:00:00
when we were growing up, there were four channels and then
1:00:02
later on five, I think right, there were only four at 1st and.
1:00:05
Then it was ABC channel 7, channel 9 and channel 10.
1:00:09
Yeah, and SPS. But SPS was hardly true channel
1:00:14
but it was sometimes hard to tune in.
1:00:16
But yes, it was the tits shadow. Yeah, because they played
1:00:18
international stuff and if you stayed up late and you, you.
1:00:22
Might get to see. Maybe you might get to see some
1:00:24
tits in a French. Movie, it was like, yeah, it was
1:00:27
always a gamble. Yeah, yeah, because it was,
1:00:30
whatever the movie it was, it was going to be boring, yes, but
1:00:33
it might have tits in it. It was going to be boring.
1:00:35
And in French. Yes, that might have tits.
1:00:38
Yeah. So occasionally it paid off.
1:00:44
But yes, when the Olympics were on, that's all that was on.
1:00:47
Yeah, now I didn't even know the Olympics were on until YouTube
1:00:51
showed me some I. Didn't know the Olympics were on
1:00:54
until I saw that people were injecting their Dicks.
1:00:56
So there you go. That's how times have changed.
1:01:00
Oh, I do need to ask you a question.
1:01:02
Go on. Has your Trump phone arrived?
1:01:05
Not yet no, I'm I am waiting. I've got I'm holding off on
1:01:11
upgrading my iPhone as a result. Yeah, we we do now have our
1:01:15
first look at the Trump phone. I don't know why this is a
1:01:22
thing. I do know why, but but it is a
1:01:27
thing. The Trump phone I'm.
1:01:29
Just looking at the picture now, it looks horrible.
1:01:33
Yeah, it's like gold with the American flag on it.
1:01:37
And apparently it won't have the the T1 logo, but I guess does
1:01:41
that. I don't know if it's still going
1:01:42
to have that little that flag. Flag.
1:01:44
On there, I mean it's. The cameras look.
1:01:47
Weird, I don't understand this. He's all renaming things after
1:01:51
him, or he wants things to be renamed after him.
1:01:53
It's all just very like, what are we doing?
1:01:55
Oh, I know, and just remind me, last week he asked if the
1:01:59
documentary about his wife was in Australia.
1:02:01
Oh yeah, I did find out it was playing at some cinemas.
1:02:05
OK, not a lot. And I think it may like for each
1:02:09
screen it made about $900. Oh wow.
1:02:13
I think in total was about $25,000 Australia wide.
1:02:17
Big win. But we're, we're, we're not the
1:02:20
target audience for it, no. No, no, no.
1:02:23
I don't know who is the tiger wins for that.
1:02:24
I don't know who's the Tiger wins for this Trump phone
1:02:26
either, I mean. I do.
1:02:29
Yeah. Yeah, Trump phone people who are
1:02:32
outside protesting. I just I wouldn't trust a Trump
1:02:39
phone. Trump has made a lot of money by
1:02:42
being president. He's got this going out.
1:02:44
He had his Trump coin. What do they know about?
1:02:48
Making phones. What kind of phone is this even
1:02:51
was? It making an American phone.
1:02:53
There's so many questions. What is this?
1:02:55
Is this an Android phone? Like I can see that it's gold,
1:02:58
but what is it? It looks like it's got the
1:03:02
screenshot makes it look like an A screenshot.
1:03:05
The render makes it look like it's got iOS on it, but that
1:03:07
can't be the case. Doesn't make any sense.
1:03:10
But no, a lot of people are still waiting for it.
1:03:15
I guess it's an Android phone, I don't know.
1:03:20
OK, yeah, the T1 logo will be gone, but the American flag at
1:03:24
the bottom will remain, as will the gold finish.
1:03:32
Anyway, whatever. Oh, so yeah, it does look like
1:03:35
it was made in China. Of course it was.
1:03:38
We can't make these things. Here, yes.
1:03:41
That was a fantasy. It's an Android.
1:03:44
Yeah, OK. Yep.
1:03:47
What? What?
1:03:49
What is the point of this? Whatever.
1:03:54
For him to make money. Yeah, well, yeah.
1:03:58
Or even just to have his name on things, Yes.
1:04:01
So anyway. I'm sure yours will arrive soon
1:04:06
though. Yeah, yeah, of course.
1:04:08
I'm sure we'll all be issued 1. Yes, yeah, should get one with
1:04:12
your yearly gun. So it will be issued one and
1:04:15
we'll be required to use that instead.
1:04:17
Yes. Yeah, I'm sure that is
1:04:19
eventually what what they want to happen.
1:04:24
Yeah. Look, we're gonna we're gonna
1:04:29
have to end the main show here. We are.
1:04:31
But that doesn't have to be the end.
