  Speaker 2: on September 24th on a PS5, Xbox, PC and Mac.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: So Mac gamers rejoice. And the last one here is
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Silent Hill Townfall.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: How many Silent Hill games are there now?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Enough. There's enough. But this one is a standalone, not
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: related to any of the others. It's set in 1996 Scotland,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: which is crazy because all the other ones are set in, like,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: middle America. Very specific.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Because the developers are from Scotland. And so I guess
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: you just make what you know. But this is, like,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you know, a freaky town covered in fog. And you're
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: trying to stay alive. And there's, you know, crazy nightmare
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: things coming out. If you know Silent Hill, if you
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: like to be scared, this is a perfect October game.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: And the name, Townfall? I mean, it doesn't get better
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: than that. All right. Okay, so on to the fun
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: internet stuff. This is something I found when I was
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: looking at one of our recent rainstorms. But it's called
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Zoom Earth and Zoom.Earth. And it's basically just a big
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: weather map. But I could not stop playing with this because...
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I realized, or I read somewhere that one of our
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: big storms that we had recently was the arm of
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: a hurricane. that had just kind of, like, whoops, swept
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: up into Utah from the Pacific. Happens. And I was
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: blown away watching this map, and you can click on
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: specific tropical storms or hurricanes all around the world. It'll
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: show you their path. It'll show you, like, where they
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: were or where they're projected to be. I mean, I
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: felt like a meteorologist clicking around in this thing.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: This is pretty cool.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: But it's intuitive, right? Like, you can, even if you're, like,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you're not a meteorologist, like, you can understand what's happening
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: on the map and... I just couldn't stop clicking around.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And so, like, especially if there's, like, crazy weather going on,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: it's fun to see where it's coming from. Because, yeah,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I was like, wow, this was just hanging out, chilling
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: in the– this was just a little storm in the Pacific.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Now it's raining in Utah, and I'm getting that. So
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: that was fun. Zoom.Earth. The next one up here, my
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: lovely sister actually shared this with me, is RetroCodex, which
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: is a website that lets you show you what you
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: learned wrong– as a kid, or I don't know, maybe
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: if you were older, but you click on a decade
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and it just kind of, I think you can sort different,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: there's other different ways to sort, but it will show
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: you how things that you were taught wrong in your
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: youth or in those, by those decades, which is just
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: kind of fun to click around. And I mean, there's
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: things in there that you're like, oh, I didn't know.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I guess I didn't realize that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is fascinating. Yeah.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's some debunking of old beliefs. Like lightning
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: never strikes twice in the same place.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: That's not true. Right. And then it will kind of
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: explain it to you.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: If you throw a penny off the Empire State Building,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: it could kill someone walking on the ground below.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: That's not true.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at– because, yeah, it's when you graduated. I
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: graduated in the 2010s. It says– the myth is eating
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: mangoes with milk is harmful.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I hadn't heard that one either. Had I, but the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: explanation is fascinating, right?
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: There is no, I don't know about this one. There's
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: no evidence that combining mangoes with milk is harmful.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: But yeah, they said it was a, it was a
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: campaign in Brazil to, because to reduce the amount of
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: dairy that people were consuming.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. That's the second half there.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Uh, the inspiration for Santa Claus came from the North pole, uh, St.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Nicholas that that's the myth.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And the truth is St.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Nicholas was a Bishop from Myra in present day and
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: antelope turkey uh the north pole origin is a later
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: cultural addition and not part of the historical record so
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: you can filter it by what's taught in school and
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: folk wisdom.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly which is i mean i'm i'm a sucker
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: for trivia i love trivia so this is like right
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: up my alley i'm like oh i love love learn.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: You know i like like this one on mine it
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: says you remember the stanford prison experiment yeah who showed
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: how everybody could become abusive if given enough power. Well,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the experiment used a very homogeneous group of participants who
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: were explicitly encouraged to display abusive behavior. Replication attempts of
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: this experiment have failed to yield similar results. So it's
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: just bunk.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole thing was just bogus. And then the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: last one here is really quick. It's called the Rasturbator. What?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Spell that.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: R-A-S-T-E-R-B-A-T-O-R, Rasturbator.net, which is a lot different than what it sounds.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: It basically lets you blow up images so you can
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: print them off on your computer. So say you have
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: an image that you're like, I want to print this
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: off in eight and a half by 11 sheets on
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: my home printer. And then assemble those all together like
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: a puzzle and put them on my wall. This will
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: do that for you.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's really cool.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: That's incredible.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I'm just itching to blow up a photo right now.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I got a rasturbator. This is just something.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Nick, are you rasturbating in there?
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: No.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: No.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: What you're hearing on the walls is me putting a
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: poster up.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: It's a poster, Mom. Uh, yeah. So I, you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: there's use cases for this. I think, I think like
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: maybe teachers that want to put up a big, a
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: big old sign or something like that in their classroom
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and you can just print it off. I mean, pretty quickly. Uh,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and then you just kind of assemble it and slap
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: it on there. But yeah, rasturbator.net kind of a cool
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: tool that I stumbled across.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: What is that name though?
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Why, why? It's all marketing, right? You got people talking
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: about it. You got people rasturbating.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: All right. J.D., Jonathan Deising, thank you so much. I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: know you got cookies to sell.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I do. I heard you guys talking about cookies beforehand,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, I have mad opinions on that.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: But most of the ones on that list are pretty good,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I thought.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: The Samoa ones, those Keebler ones, I would strongly recommend
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: because we do use those for one of our cookies.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: The Walmart-branded ones, which I'm not a Walmart guy, but
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: the Walmart-branded ones taste way better than the Keebler ones.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, really?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or the Winkel ones. They're both better.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: There you go. Jonathan, if you don't know, works for...
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Crave Cookies. Crave Cookies, that's right. All right, Jonathan Deising,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: 3 Big Gamer Show, and every Tuesday is when that drops.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Every Tuesday.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Nice to see you. Thank you very much. Thanks, guys.
