nerdy good morning good evening good earlier in the
0:35
evening I want to apologize for my lack of energy last week about time cuz I
0:40
listened to it back and cuz I was sick and also it's very early here now and I
0:46
feel like I don't know man you seem to be quite enthusiastic about uh that
0:50
guy's gigantic [ __ ] oh yeah that was exciting so I don't think you need to
0:56
apologize at all did you so I'm guessing you saw the pict St yeah yeah I saw it
1:02
and uh listeners if you haven't gone and looked yet prepare yourself because uh
1:07
it's not what you're expecting it's if you're if you're expecting just a really
1:11
big [ __ ] uh you'll be disappointed uh if if you're expecting like a [ __ ]
1:16
deformed tree trunk then that's close to what you'll get yeah that's what we uh
1:22
that's what we bring each week I'm in New York for a change that's
1:27
cool what are you doing in New York oh you know just uh had an opportunity
1:32
to come down for a couple of days uh so I'm doing the same stuff I would
1:34
normally be doing just uh just doing it here now so okay uh yeah checking it out
1:40
debating and playing Xbox yeah exactly killing time at light speed here
1:47
in New York what more do you need that's right but yeah I've been checking it out
1:52
I've been haven't been here since uh Luke and I were here a few years ago I
1:55
got to say it's much nicer uh with the climate as it is now than it was then
2:00
cuz when we were there it was when we were here rather it was freezing raining
2:05
uh and there was filthy Brown snow and rubbish everywhere now um it's you know
2:11
it's quite nice uh it's warm uh it's it's not raining and there's just
2:16
rubbish everywhere so okay yeah well I'm I'm going to be there myself in a month
2:22
yeah well you'll enjoy it uh Jael and hides has moved though Luke that's our
2:26
favorite restaurant that we went to when we were here it's the only one I could
2:29
remember that we went to yeah it's no longer near Time Square am I welcome
2:34
back there um I would say yes I don't think they mentioned you by name though
2:38
did they M no they didn't but I I think apparently they had two stores before
2:44
two two venues the one at Time Square which was more elaborate the one that we
2:48
went to is gone Y and I'm wondering I'm wondering if it's
2:52
because without the the novel The fake heart that you talk they couldn't do the
2:57
show anymore I did it just they they gave gave it to me you stole a heart
3:02
it's a theater restaurant and as part of the show uh a mad scientist reanimates
3:07
you know a Frankenstein monster and at one point he's got you know like a it's
3:13
like a foam human heart that's part of the show and he handed it to Luke and
3:17
said look after this for me all right and then never came back for it I'm
3:21
still looking after it till this day so you know Luke's been waiting for him to
3:25
come and collect it he hasn't and now they've shut down so I can only assume
3:28
it's because you know without that vital piece of prop they couldn't do the show
3:34
anymore no I think they could still do the show and there could still be a
3:38
Frankenstein it just wouldn't be able to love good point well maybe that's it the
3:44
audiences were like I don't know he seems of me he's not very [Laughter]
3:50
[Music] relatable yeah so it's moved they still
3:55
have all the excuse me they still have all the the heads mounted on the wall
4:01
that that sing and dance and do shows and stuff it's good it's good little
4:04
little place but it's moved so can we pause for just a sec yes because I think
4:08
my my mic has I'm just looking at my waveform and I think it's just done the
4:12
thing it did last time where it suddenly just goes [ __ ] massive oh right okay
4:17
because hello you know what okay it's I think
4:21
it's the auto gain I think I no it's big again hello hello hello like if I'm just
4:27
talking like this constantly it seems
4:31
fine but if I stop for a sec and then start again or if I make the slightest
4:38
little movement while you're talking is your auto gain in Skype on you know that
4:44
tick box let me see
4:47
preferences audio video yes it is should it be yeah no no no that's probably what
4:54
it is otherwise me see okay that looks better okay okay that looks better
5:00
mine's been a bit weird as well but I think it's okay I think mine's just
5:04
softer or something well your dick is softer uh conf you been mastbating and
5:10
playing Xbox all day I can confirm that it's very comfortable right now Luke
5:14
whatever you've done to it it's
5:17
luxurious he's dick yeah right what you think I
5:23
me I was just checking I don't like to be uh misinformed you know what I mean
5:29
of course did you guys see the uh the Apple announcement yeah s it was I meant
5:35
to be interested about it I actually watched this one live this is this is
5:39
the first one I've actually well uh that's not true I used to watch some of
5:42
the Steve Jobs ones live but I had to get up at 3: in the morning to do that
5:45
this time I just put it on yeah they uh they target it to your daytime now don't
5:50
they that's right it was at uh I think it was 100 p.m. uh which is very
5:56
reasonable Lu watch it when you have your lunch that's right I just popped
6:00
yeah in fact that's what I did uh yes so I saw so we've got the Apple Watch 2
6:07
which uh is more appealing than the original Apple watch because it can do a
6:12
bit more but I still don't know if I'm going to buy one of those don't know if
6:16
I need that no I won't be doing that either I like that it's got its own GPS
6:21
in it that's much more useful you don't have to have the phone for it to to do
6:26
anything like it can do stuff on its own now but then the iPhone 7 I mean that's
6:30
pretty cool the iPhone 7 looks looks nice I like the new
6:34
colors uh you know it's an iPhone so it's probably mostly the same except it
6:39
hasn't got a headphone jack yeah what what do you think of that OD Choice well
6:45
they do this they do yeah but well the thing is I'm looking at is um I've got
6:51
like three sets of headphones that are all Wireless so I'm not even using a
6:54
headphone jack so it wouldn't bother me so you're you're using
6:57
Bluetooth yeah I've been using Bluetooth for years well I guess that's they're
7:00
assuming everybody will be so well everyone will be if they want to keep
7:05
using the [ __ ] iPhone yeah yeah know and like they've done this before they
7:08
took you know they took the floppy disc drives out of things they took the CD
7:12
drives out of things uh they they what they do they remove
7:17
things they do what do you think of their new headphones well I mean I I
7:24
don't like the Apple headphones anyway and no and I'm almost certainly GNA lose
7:29
one of those things cuz they don't have a cable at all like they're completely
7:34
it's just literally just the earbuds separate and you put put them in each
7:37
ear like I don't know that seems like and they also don't come with the phone
7:42
either no no the ones that come with the phone are just headphones that plug into
7:46
the Lightning Jack which is the the little normal Jack on the bottom that
7:50
you power with and people are saying well how do I charge it and listen to
7:54
music at the same time well you don't so that's weird you buy our headphones
8:00
wireless headphones yeah and the thing I mean that doesn't
8:04
really do any good because I have my headphones in most of the time day and
8:10
night there not a lot of time where I'm not wearing my headphones lately because
8:16
I just don't go to an office I just sit and do things at home I often will just
8:22
maybe put music on but normally yeah I'm always got headphones in yeah yeah
8:26
that's right so I actually don't know when I'd be charging these so this
8:30
doesn't really interest me just do what I do and get wireless ones it's they're
8:33
great you don't have to charge those you have to but you just charge Point charge
8:38
them when yeah yeah but yeah but that's why I have three
8:44
sets that's your solution it's just buy two of or more well I'm going to have to
8:48
constantly buy these anyway cuz I'd lose them I mean I'm tangled up in my in my
8:52
headphones every morning when I wake up anyway right so it would be a new
8:56
morning ritual of trying to find the missing ear bit earbud that's like
9:00
somewhere in my bed yeah one of them is inside of you now and you go find it I'm
9:06
going to try and find a link for the headset I'm using Dan you should get
9:08
some of them cuz they're great to sleep in okay one thing that one they they've
9:15
done it's very apple and I think it's a bit it's a bit shitty they do this all
9:19
the time though the wireless headphones their their wireless headphones they're
9:24
not Bluetooth they've got their own Wireless chipset and they put that in
9:29
there and that's what theirs use and so you can't use them with anything
9:33
else which I'm like come on guys what are you doing I think everyone start to
9:37
get sick of that a little bit so these things will only I assume only work with
9:43
your iPhone yeah cuz that's the kind of other half of this problem that I have
9:48
with it because whenever my as I said I've always got my
9:52
earphones in and whenever it's not plugged into my phone it's plugged into
9:56
my laptop yeah you swap them it goes from one to the next without coming out
10:00
of my ears right Apple what do I do what
10:05
do I do well the answer is going to be you'll have to buy a new laptop which
10:09
has got this new chipset in it yeah or I or I have to get that little adapter and
10:13
have it constantly hanging off the bottom of my iPhone yeah
10:17
right yeah it's I don't know it's I can understand why they always do this and
10:23
maybe you know iPhone 8 or 9 this will be accepted and everyone will just have
10:30
moved on but right now I think it's get what we used to have well Apple
10:35
definitely not going to back down like they still have it back down on their
10:37
charging Jack have they Oh you mean then everyone else is using mini USB oh no
10:43
except apple look I got to say the lightning connect the the apple one is
10:47
better it's just it's not the one everyone else is using like the
10:51
lightning one you can put it in front way back way whatever it just it just
10:55
works like it's better it is yeah I do like that I'm into it yeah it's not um
11:01
the one everyone else is using so it's annoying cuz you got to have different
11:04
cables for everything I've just and the segments I've just pasted a link they're
11:08
the headphones I sleep in they work great oh did you buy them because they're called
11:13
Halo na have had something to do with it oh they've got that little uh neck
11:19
band so there's neand thing a neck brace goes on and then some wired earbuds come out
11:25
of that yeah okay yep so that way yeah when you when you wake up in the morning
11:30
they're just around your neck and you're not you're not connected to your phone
11:34
and yeah do you wear these around in the street as well I've got a pair like I've
11:39
got a pair for sleeping and a pair for work right the same kind same kind yeah
11:46
right they're not too expensive either no I've got cheap ones see I'm still
11:51
waiting on my uh the ones I backed on Kickstarter to show up you might want to
11:55
write them off cuz that was how many years ago now well they keep sending
11:59
updates I think eventually I'll get something they are shipping them
12:02
apparently up chip we've spent all your money I think that's the kickstarter
12:06
slogan I think eventually you'll get something yeah I don't want to talk
12:13
about that again there's something I kickstarted recently and um I've got my
12:18
copy game but it pretty much come out and said to everyone in Europe look
12:21
we're run out of money we can't afford to ship your games you'll get them one
12:26
day we're not sure when that sucks I
12:29
just backed uh the new Thorn watch the the well it's not by Penny Arcade it's
12:35
by the guys from Penny Arcade you played it at Pax Luke oh that's on kickstarted
12:41
right now on there now yeah yeah damn you so crap just jump on there jump on there
12:47
and get it so yeah and listeners check it out it's a it's a cool game it's like
12:51
a role playing board game uh we had the record for number of wounds and we let
12:56
the child die we'll uh maybe talk about that later I
13:02
hope this is all in game what game and not just what happened at
13:08
PX so the other thing uh well actually sorry there's two other things they
13:13
announced one of which is Pokemon go on Apple watch um which I
13:19
think it solves you know some of the complaints we had about Pokémon go the
13:23
other week and it makes it more playable but you've got to have an Apple Watch so
13:27
and I'm not buying one just to play Pokémon go no I can imagine that Pokémon
13:33
go would be more fun if you had an eye watch Apple well even just for the
13:38
hatching of eggs cuz that's the stupid thing like with this you have to have
13:42
the app open and walking and yeah it doesn't really work but if you just got
13:46
it on your phone how awesome would that be didn't even play it long enough to
13:50
know what that is well when you get an egg you've got
13:55
to put it in an incubator and then you incubate it by walking so it'll be like
14:01
a there's a 5 km egg you have to walk 5 km and then it'll hatch wow really
14:06
trying to make this the least fun game possible aren't they but you've got to
14:11
have you've got to have Pokémon go open and running on your phone for it to
14:16
register so you've got to walk 5 kilm with the game open like if you lock your
14:19
phone doesn't count lame yeah so this solves that by uh if you've got it on
14:26
your watch it just works so and I I think it's probably just a limitation
14:32
you know like on the iPhone if you don't have something open it'll put it to
14:35
sleep the the app so I think maybe that's why they weren't able to do it
14:40
but still but this kind of solves but yeah again I'm not going to buy an Apple
14:43
Watch just for that so certainly not and and it'll buzz when there's a Pokemon
14:48
nearby and you can just catch it um I think you still have to take your phone
14:52
out to catch it but it'll tell you what it is and yeah well that at least takes away from
14:58
the fact that you've got to decide maybe I'll play it now take your phone out
15:03
load up that slow ass app yeah and then see if there's anything around if there
15:07
was just a little device that went hey hey play Pokémon go here trust me yeah
15:13
well there is actually I'm a bit excited I'm going to be able to you do it what
15:17
do you mean I don't have an Apple Watch but it's also on Android Wear oh cool
15:22
you can do it on your you got a Samsung watch have you uh LG LG do you yeah right
15:29
I've had one for a while now yeah I've seen it it's pretty cool it had uh you
15:36
had the pit boy theme on it still do yep that's pretty cool tells me time tells
15:42
me when I get emails I can respond to them on emails it's good for directions
15:46
H well they're also still releasing the the Pokémon go plus wristband thing
15:52
which is like a like a I guess like a Fitbit kind of wristband thing that it's
15:58
just for playing Pokémon go and it'll buzz when there's Pokémon nearby but I
16:01
mean I don't know I think they missed their window for that yeah I agree like
16:06
millions of people would have bought that had they released it a month ago
16:10
like yeah a month ago they would have been flying now people yeah they're
16:14
going to sell a quarter of what they could have yeah I think so yeah and the
16:19
other thing they announced uh at the Apple event uh also this is on Android
16:24
as well um but it's um Super Mario run Nintendo are now releasing games on
16:30
mobile phones and it's a Mario game where you just play you just tap to make
16:35
him jump and he runs around and collects coins and stuff it looks fun but uh you
16:40
know it's definitely a mobile game it's not it's not uh you know Super Mario
16:45
World or anything like that it looks cool and um you know I think Nintendo
16:50
maybe needs to do more stuff like that if they going to stick around CU think
16:54
we should all get it and encourage them to continue doing this yeah yeah they
16:59
need to just become a third party developer yeah or whatever the NX is
17:04
this new console needs to be just [ __ ] amazing it won't
17:09
be probably not probably not well
17:13
speaking of next consoles uh we had you know Microsoft announced can I stop you
17:18
for just one second sure backed oh cool
17:25
y well speaking of just had to get that out very good
17:29
so Microsoft announced the Scorpio uh and now PlayStation
17:35
PlayStation Sony have announced the PlayStation 4
17:39
Pro which is sort of the same concept
17:44
but it's uh you know it's PlayStation it's for
17:48
professionals coming out a lot sooner yeah
17:53
um it's basically you know a a faster
17:57
more powerful PlayStation 4 does 4K uh it's got a bigger hard drive in it
18:03
and it's a better GPU and everything so it's it's it's similar to the Scorpio in
18:07
that apparently the games will run on both but then they'll run better on the
18:11
pro here's the one strange thing about the 4K video M it'll support 4K
18:17
streaming but it won't support putting a 4K disc
18:21
in wait what all right you can only stream 4K video like if you get a
18:27
Blu-ray or 4K blate disc and put that in it won't work it's only for
18:32
streaming oh like streaming video games uh no streaming video as well yeah
18:38
but the hang on what so it's going to upscale it to stream it at 4K no he's
18:43
not saying you have to watch it at 4K just saying if you want to watch 4K
18:48
you have to stream it you can't just buy
18:50
a 4K disc oh oh sorry so online content like 4K yes right but not thiss I get
18:57
you got you got got not this which I don't that just seems strange to me yeah
19:01
it sounds backwards to me too yeah because I mean there's
19:07
no I think online streaming is fine for me and it's great but it's not the same
19:12
quality as a disc like and it it probably won't ever be yeah and no
19:17
matter what you do there's always going to be slight imperfections with
19:20
streaming over a disc that's just how it works yeah like you buy a Blu-ray and it
19:25
looks better than Netflix looks like it just does y
19:30
[Applause]
19:57
[Music]
20:28
ago but it seems like it kind they are
20:31
great for gaming are they oh yeah okay when you got the surround sound and
20:37
you're playing like a shooter online and you can hear stuff behind you and okay
20:41
it's actually a little bit of an advantage oh fair enough it seems like
20:45
that kind of that was a big thing a while ago and now everybody's just kind
20:49
of like H yeah I mean I didn't have it and I desperately wanted it but then I
20:53
got it and it really didn't you know rock my world in the way
20:58
that I thought it was G yeah and since I moved I just can't be bothered setting
21:02
it up again yeah I don't have anything here in fact I'm just using my TV
21:07
speakers quite honestly yeah that's seems like that's what every well most
21:10
people do I'm obviously anecdotal listeners if you're uh if you disagree
21:14
or you have any comments let us know what do you use at home oh look and
21:20
we're by no means saying it's just as good all I'm saying is I don't
21:25
appreciate the difference enough to do anything about B yeah yeah right
21:32
it's not worth the hassle of setting the whole thing up and troubleshooting it
21:35
when it doesn't work and [ __ ] around yeah and they look stupid too I'll just
21:41
say that right now it always got a bunch of stuff on sticks all around you unless
21:46
you mounted on the wall I'll Mount you on the wall thanks uh you mentioned
21:52
Italy uh and obviously you know the studios been going a lot of effort to try and shut
21:59
down websites that are sharing their content uh and it turns out Warner
22:03
Brothers have gone further than some others in that they're trying
22:08
to get their own websites shut down for copyright infringement against themselves against
22:14
themselves yeah yeah this is just bizarre and I I I didn't really even
22:18
understand this article Matt so why don't you explain it to me and
22:23
the I think what what it's what's happening I think and it kind of
22:29
I think this is what sucks about this whole thing they they hire some company
22:33
to to just send out letters to everybody you know everybody on the internet
22:38
saying stop stop sharing copyrighted content right so this this this lawyer
22:44
say start sending out these letters right but they and then they they just
22:48
kind of set up a machine that'll scan for this stuff and then they'll send out
22:53
these letters without even checking what it is and so they uh they send off things to
22:59
Google saying uh please remove these from search
23:04
results and so because it's just automated now I guess they're sending
23:10
letters for their own websites so it's for example uh The Dark Knight and uh
23:16
the Matrix films yeah they sent letters pictures yep they sent letters uh dmca
23:22
takedown notices to Google saying come on why aren't you blocking these
23:27
websites and uh Google said because they're your
23:32
websites is there still a The Matrix website uh yeah surely they would leave
23:39
they'd leave one up and they also requested they take down um links to
23:44
legitimate services like Amazon and IMDb and things like that but I can sort of
23:51
understand why this is happening it's something that's very hard to do in even
23:55
each request they've got here Google received more than 558 million web pages
24:00
to be removed last year yes no one can sit down and view all of them so they do
24:07
have to have a processing that's automated and they still need to find
24:10
unet a little bit Yeah but stupid though so basically they're just they've just
24:15
got a big cannon they're pointing it at the internet like this is they make
24:18
themselves look stupid like it doesn't I think this does more harm than good
24:23
overall yeah but they're not they're not like pursuing this aren't they this is
24:29
just one of those kind of funny little anomalies that you get from Mass
24:34
sendouts they actually going no you [ __ ] take that down we're going to
24:39
court yeah yeah and it's like they've got to go
24:45
argue against themselves yeah they're both the plaintiff and the
24:51
defendant that's right this is my
24:56
property let's see how far they I'll take it but you know it's it's just a
25:00
silly little thing yeah obviously they'll they'll drop it but I don't know
25:03
I think it's funny it's like a sad statement on how things are going on how
25:08
things actually run now and I mean yeah we've discussed copyright law on this
25:13
podcast quite a bit and uh yeah this
25:18
this doesn't help you know no not at all
25:23
no it just but just a bit of followup uh if you go to the old The Matrix website
25:30
which if anyone remembers was wwww no wait that's too many
25:37
www.whatisthematrix.com right yeah if you go to that now you
25:43
just get a mysterious little holding page that says this website is not
25:46
available but then it says check out our other websites Warner brothers.com and
25:51
Harry potter.com so I don't I don't quite understand that but that's because
25:56
they got taken down maybe the doing a Harry Potter crossover Matrix Harry Potter crossover
26:02
yeah the Matrix Harry Potter yeah maybe Hogwarts is in The
26:07
Matrix that would explain it yeah I don't I don't I haven't watched enough
26:13
of those movies to know what that is so you know what you hav watched enough
26:17
Harry Potter to know what Hogwarts is I've watched one Harry
26:21
Potter I'm not sure I think you watch I don't think you watched it very
26:25
closely no I didn't to be honest Hogwarts is the
26:31
school okay yeah you so I mentioned I'm in New York
26:37
in Manhattan uh and there's a bit of local
26:41
news uh apparently uh it's it's just Su Summer's just finished up here and
26:47
apparently over summer there's a bit of a crime wave here in Manhattan New York
26:53
City Y not Sur well uh it was a little surprising
26:59
um their thieves have been stealing ice cream right and selling it on the uh on
27:05
the welln and popular ice cream Black Market well kind of yeah apparently it
27:12
was like it's literally a crime wave and they've stolen like almost 1300 cartons
27:18
or bars of ice cream and gelato in 11 thefts across Manhattan um apparently
27:24
they there's four guys uh and they bust into like a you know like a a store mhm
27:31
uh with bags and just start pulling the ice cream off the shelves into the bags
27:35
and then make and then run off with it uh in on one day thieves made off with
27:40
256 pints of ice cream so apparently they like the good stuff
27:46
too they generally favor Ben and Jerry's haand DARS and something called talente
27:51
which I've never heard of but I'm assuming that's good because it's in
27:54
good company Yeah well yeah they they they want to sell it so apparently
27:59
that's that's the deal they they steal it and then they go sell it somewhere
28:01
else uh they like to little local stores they'll steal it from like the big big
28:06
name places and then sell it steal it from the man and give it back to the
28:10
little people exactly and they'll go sell it to the uh the the little stores
28:13
they put it in a freezer bag with some dry ice and then uh then they go sell it
28:18
on so wow I mean it it it's almost like
28:22
a Robin Hood scenario except that they're still selling it at a profit
28:28
right yeah yeah so they well it's like Robin Hood if he was just a thief yeah
28:35
and a propheter um yeah so they've had to
28:40
install uh better security on the ice cream freezers and uh the stores have
28:45
decided they're no longer going to stock them fully they'll just kind of you know
28:48
put a couple of tubs in there and then hide the rest out the back and people
28:51
can ask for it if they want it and no one's asking for ice cream this is the
28:56
world we live in now I know it's so weird but uh yeah apparently they've
29:02
discovered uh discovered a profitable little niche and uh yeah I mean you've got to
29:08
be pretty certain that that plan's going to come about you know what I mean to
29:12
bother even doing that right cu the penalty for stealing that much ice cream
29:18
I imagine is far dwarfing of the actual
29:23
cash benefits they force you to eat it all I guess I assume yeah well that goes
29:27
without saying plus it' be melted by then so yeah it's like when you got
29:31
caught smoking as a kid and they made you smoke a whole carton of cigarettes
29:35
you get caught stealing ice cream that kind of works you
29:38
know oh yeah CU I'll say this right I quit smoking four or five months ago
29:44
right mhm and uh never looked back quite happy quite happy good good uh that's
29:51
not true constantly wanted one right constantly we talked about this last
29:55
week a bit yeah yeah I know I just thought about it all the time so
30:00
Luke you might want to take a page out of my book and do this so after several
30:05
months of not having smoked at all but wishing I was still a smoker I went to
30:10
Japan which as you know you're allowed to smoke inside right y so I'm sitting
30:15
at the bar I'm quite drunk I already drank that snake water that I think I've
30:19
told you guys about and um and then the bartender just started
30:26
lighting up a cigarette I'm like well if you can [ __ ] smoke here I'm going to
30:30
smoke just cuz you can't do this anywhere else on the planet so I bought
30:34
a pack of cigarettes smoked them over the course of that evening uh and then
30:40
was just absolutely [ __ ] wrecked the next day and now I never want to see
30:45
another cigarette again no for me it's all just now
30:51
willpower I know I never will smoke in I still like the smell
30:55
though but I could imagine if I had have been if I when I first started smoking
31:00
if someone had have gone they have smoked this entire C that would have put
31:03
me off mhm well I've been smoking after about 10 years they had to give me a
31:07
cart and I would have just said Thank you and smoked it
31:11
yeah what a lovely present yep yeah well I guess I'm lucky I guess I'm lucky I
31:18
don't I have no desire to smoke at all anymore so well neither was but I mean
31:23
obviously when I quit I did like I it wasn't just magically gone but uh but
31:29
not now it's been 3 years 4 years so
31:36
yeah I'm a couple of I'm a few years now yeah good for us indeed I have some
31:43
followups I so many more games yeah that's right I have a lot yeah because
31:47
I'm not wasting money on those things Australia is the place they're the most expensive
31:52
too y I have some followup from last week I mentioned that uh we talked about
31:57
how there was a a hurricane or tropical storm uh and you asked Luke if I had to
32:02
worry about hurricanes yes and I said no I've been since been
32:08
corrected yes I do have to worry about
32:11
hurricanes so oh yes and I've also I was
32:15
also told uh I'm not to call an eraser a rubber because that will really confuse
32:21
people uh yeah that's what they are not here that a rubber is a condom EX
32:28
exclusively I guess yeah everything made out of rubber can go on your dick but
32:32
that's what even in primary school we knew that like an eraser was an a robber
32:36
was a condom as well but you would giggle right and and it also you still
32:40
call it a robber yeah yeah no not here apparently if I ask for a rber uh people
32:44
will look at me strangely or they'll [ __ ] you or they might think you're
32:47
coming on to them yeah that's right we'll call the cops this could lead to
32:50
some very interesting stories is this how the is this how you met the
32:55
Canadian no it's not what was he trying to a race on the streets of New
33:00
York the listeners have no context for that Luke I'm afraid oh crap all better all the
33:06
[Laughter] better I befriended a Canadian last
33:12
night that's it's all you need to know listeners no one befriends a Canadian
33:16
Matt all Canadians are automatically all our friends yeah yes yeah yeah hey
33:23
Canadians based of evidence they're lovely they are uh or at least speaking
33:28
of people that are very close to Canada yes I watched the second season of Fargo oh
33:35
yeah and I remember you saying Matt that you had watched it I watched uh half of
33:41
it right yeah um and then after watching season one you you weren't quite hooked
33:48
on season two yeah we watched about half of season two uh I thought it was all
33:53
right um Jenna really didn't wasn't into it at all so yeah I we haven't watched
33:58
the rest of it because man I [ __ ] loved this really and I liked it so much
34:05
more than season one I felt in season one the characters were
34:10
like purposely unlikable and that was cool but in season two the characters
34:16
really suck you in and I thought okay the only thing missing from that first
34:21
season was characters that you really do care about because they [ __ ] kill
34:25
everyone so you know I dug
34:30
it okay yeah I I mean I'd like to see the end of it see how it plays out yeah
34:36
yeah um it's got Angus Samson in it so that's that's a it does it's got Angus
34:41
Samson in it yeah doing quite well for himself yeah he is yeah good on him he's
34:48
uh he's moved on from David ju James
34:52
Juan David ju he moved from David ju years ago
34:58
I assume David is James's brother yeah um and yeah and he's doing well uh and
35:05
it's got uh it's got a bunch of good people in it it's got the guy from
35:09
actually speaking of James one it's got the guy from The Conjuring in it yes it
35:12
does in fact he and uh anger Samson are probably reunited for the first time
35:16
since those Conjuring movies yeah uh or
35:21
uh insidius I actually finished watching something today what's that stranger
35:27
things stranger things yeah yes oh I'm glad you brought that up because you
35:33
weren't here last week when he said that he was watching it and I thought you
35:37
would want to you would want to discuss it a little bit with him so is that cuz
35:40
he doesn't like it do you like it no it was great those kids are
35:46
amazing I thought we're were going to have a situation here where I'd have to
35:49
be like Luke you're replaced on the
35:54
podcast with a little kid who plays Dunston oh sorry any of any one of us is
36:01
Expendable if that kid wants to come on
36:06
yeah no I think all those kids were really good and it was weird seeing
36:11
whena Ryder actually act well was she though I I think
36:17
everyone in there acted maybe she didn't Oh I thought maybe for a change
36:24
she actually was CU I don't know she disappeared for 10
36:29
years she was in jail wasn't she was she oh no I'm joking yeah yeah there's a big
36:36
fuss about her shoplifting or something a while ago I remember yeah but I think
36:39
she made jokes about it when she hosted the Oscars that year right last I
36:44
remember her being in was alien I don't think you go to jail for 10 years for
36:48
um for shoplifting yeah right and I think shoplifting predates Alien Resurrection
36:54
to that's a terrible movie
36:58
but strange of things I am I am so interested to see the second season to
37:04
see sort of what happened so you
37:08
finished yes completely finished and the ending I don't know I
37:14
think the ending sort of good cuz it did sort of finish it all off and did close
37:18
it but did leave it open for his second season as well so there's certainly some
37:23
uh some story points that haven't been concluded H yeah yeah that's why when
37:30
they said they were maybe going to do it in the '90s I was like oh I want to know what
37:35
happened like it seemed like it was set up to follow straight on so but they're
37:40
not doing that now they are just following straight on so yeah just
37:43
making a year later I think the kids are
37:46
just too popular to not be a part of it
37:50
yeah and they got to get the most those kids made that show they got to get the
37:56
most out of them they can before one of the commit suicide yeah I wonder who it'll be yeah
38:02
I don't know I don't know probably will get addicted to drugs one of them will
38:07
commit suicide that'll be all of them one of them will go to prison
38:12
yeah one of them will uh what what well Jake Lloyd maybe could take one under
38:18
his wing one of them will suck me off if they know what's good for
38:24
him which one never you mind they
38:30
know when you hear Luke you could answer my [ __ ]
38:35
emails when you're here luk you can uh you can try some egos what are egos
38:40
waffles it's a brand of waffle you can get them here oh right it's just frozen
38:45

38:49
confused and I've never had I never had them if you want when when yeah we can
38:54

39:12

39:17

39:45
open four plan we've got curtains between our
39:50

39:56
notes for the listeners to look at I don't see why
40:01

40:08
it I don't know if you're uh you know frequenter of this particular brothel
40:13
you might know just by looking at
40:16
it um sorry I I'm here all right pasted just below segment yeah it's taking so
40:23
long to load from me
40:28
not only it's an old timey brothel it's like a wild west era
40:35
Bordello oh man awesome [ __ ] me I can't wait to stay in this
40:40
place yeah yeah oh man what we I was having a look around and then I saw this and I
40:47
just went [ __ ] it we're staying here this is magnificent such a shame
40:52
I'm only there for a couple of nights wow
40:57
impressive uh you would have been proud of me Dan I uh played a bit of Civ 5
41:03
this last week I saw that and what
41:05
prompted you to play bit of sid5 well I
41:10
uh I started out I played uh a game called endless space which I bought in a
41:15
steam sale and really wanted to play but forgotten about and then for some reason
41:18
something triggered oh because I was rewatching Star Trek I um I wanted to
41:23
play Something In Space yeah which the next next gener ation ah
41:28
sure um I wanted to play something space so I started playing that and it's very
41:34
much like Civ uh in space well it's obious not the same but it's got like a
41:41
technology tree and you turn based yeah
41:45
you you colonize uh planets and systems and stuff you probably like it actually
41:49
Dan you should check it out um you start out as one civilization in space with
41:55
one planet in a system and then you move your ships from system to system and you
42:00
can find up to six planets I think in a system and you can colonize some and as
42:06
you unlock new technologies you can colonize new types of planet and then
42:10
put new tech new um upgrades on the planets to get more resources and stuff
42:15
and then you encounter other civilizations and then and then you
42:18
build fleets of ships and stuff to fight them it's really good cool so so I was
42:22
playing that and it made me think of Civ 5 and then I got really really
42:27
really uh motivated to play C5 which I
42:31
did uh and let me just say
42:35
Napoleon was being a dick so I took care
42:38
of it yeah [ __ ] that guy there was a
42:42
there's a situation where I was I was playing Alexander the Great obviously
42:47
yeah when I play well any any any of the leaders I play is great but uh I've been
42:54
playing Alexander the Great since he was still known as Alexander the quite good
42:58
yeah or just just Alexander that's who's that that's Alexander how is he he's all
43:03
right he's fine yeah uh yeah so I
43:08
actually was going to play kind of a peaceful game but uh you know wasn't to
43:14
be they were jealous of my of my technology and my my power and they
43:19
brought it on themselves so it was a military victory for
43:23
me nice was nothing more satisfying than a military Victory well it was a little
43:30
Hollow I'll say cuz I got to the end and
43:33
I was like cuz I always do that yeah I I always it'll I'll be St I'll be trying
43:40
to play you know like the you know like the space ending or whatever and it'll
43:43
get to a point where I'm like I'm really far ahead and I've got a lot of units
43:47
and I Could Just Kill Them All so yeah I uh I won by uh technology
43:54
Victory once when I shot a rocket into space that also felt quite good yeah
43:58
that's what I was going for I I did that in the original Civ yeah
44:03
um are you getting ready for Civ 6 yeah man bring it
44:09
on I'm ready Sid M I'm [ __ ]
44:14
ready Sid come on Sid give it to me is he is Sid me still alive well I hope so
44:20
because I want s 6 well he's not I'm assum he's not making it by himself H
44:25
names on it sidm I think I own S5 I played it once that one game in one
44:31
sitting was like 14 hours and then I haven't turned it back on he's still
44:35
alive he's 6 62 years old yeah he's not that old
44:40
no um but yeah so uh you should check out endless space if you get a chance to
44:45
down it's on Mac uh as well so I think
44:48
you might like it endless space yeah H
44:54
looks good uh I mean if it's not endless I I'll be demanding a refund but well
44:59
it's it's endless in that you can play it again when you finished so every game is endless
45:05
according to that yeah it's very pretty yep yeah it's good yeah um there's
45:12
something else you can start playing in October oh yeah finally yeah remember
45:17
how we're talking about Batman they're remaking them for the Xbox One mhm mhm
45:21
well they finally come out with a date for it end of October oh good that's not
45:26
too far have to get that and give that a go yeah I will I will I mean there's a
45:32
couple of uh remasters coming out there's the Bioshock remasters coming
45:37
out like later this week yeah yep buying those I think I've worked out that when
45:43
I go to America they release a BioShock game well go more often because I want
45:50
more Skyrim Rems coming out later in the
45:54
year play through that again yeah yeah speaking of uh interesting
46:01
announcement this week was uh you know we've got mods in Fallout 4 on the Xbox
46:06
now we've got U there'll be mods in Skyrim on the Xbox and uh at the time
46:12
they had announced that they would just be on consoles like PlayStation would
46:14
get it as well not anymore they've come out this week and said the PlayStation 4
46:19
will not have mods for either of the games and they've given up trying to
46:23
make it work and apparently it's no no no it it works well Sony won't let them
46:27
do it Sony being dicks yeah right it's um yeah they basically caught
46:33
out Sony look we are ready to go we can turn this on now Sony won't aren't doing
46:38
it yeah right won't let you do it yeah they said they won't let them do
46:43
whatever they want like users can't just install any mods they want and they said
46:47
well that's how it works so I guess we're not doing
46:52
it quote and uh obviously Microsoft has
46:57
taken the opportunity to uh say oh the XBox is better of
47:02
course yeah that mean has anyone actually played a mod yeah I did I I I I
47:08
we talked about this I I went to look I discovered though that it disables
47:12
achievements if you if you play with mods so I and I still haven't finished
47:16
the game so I thought I'll wait um but I did I told you the number one mod when I
47:21
looked was um was the big tits mod I assume that's still the case I was
47:27
like oh what mods are there number one make all the girls boobs bigger well
47:31
that doesn't surprise me I'm pretty sure the first mod for any game is the nud
47:36
nudity mod yeah do you remember uh Moro wind there was the mod and they got more
47:42
and more elaborate there was the was the the super high quality nude mod where
47:49
they had like like physics modeled penises and things that like flop flop
47:55
around it's really impressive
48:00
work yeah so I assume that Stu amazing what they can do I haven't played mods
48:05
but uh I I have been playing a lot of Fallout 4 this week no one will be
48:11
surprised uh still waiting for Nuka World which is just still not available
48:16
yet I don't know really that's out I think it's available elsewhere but oh
48:22
yeah cuz cuz I've actually started playing Fallout 4 again and and I've got
48:27
the mission waiting to start to go to n yeah right yeah I need to uh I've been
48:34
playing it a little bit uh I told last week I told the story of my fun time
48:38
installing it on my Xbox but uh I've been playing a little bit and I I do
48:43
want to get the the DLC just cuz some of it looks fun but I've got to pay what is
48:49
it like $70 $780 now for it you guys got it cheaper right that's for all of it
48:54
you don't need to get all of it you only need get two bits of DLC far haror and N
49:00
world right okay I don't need don't worry about any of the other crap okay
49:04
that's good well I've got it all because I got the season pass but uh
49:09
right and I've I've been focusing because obviously I've completed just
49:13
about every [ __ ] mission in the game small or large but uh so in the last
49:20
couple of weeks I've built myself a house right all right which was good
49:24
this is the third place I've lived uh in the Wasteland first I just lived
49:29
in an abandoned house in uh uh Solitude
49:36
Solitude Solitude sctu Sanctuary solitude's [ __ ] Skyrim um in yes in
49:42
sanctuary uh then I built a a prefab house there on a vacant lot that I lived
49:48
in for quite some time uh and now I've built myself a beautiful modern style
49:54
two-story beach front property
49:58
so yeah I am loving it there I still
50:02
live in the red rocket GED station just outside Sanctuary where I first set up
50:07
and you walk in there now and that's where I tell every all my companions
50:11
just go wait for me there yeah so I go back there every day again and there's
50:15
just all these people standing there going hey you want me to come with you
50:18
and no dog meat's coming with me yeah that's pretty much me with Sanctuary
50:23
I've got a lot of companions there but now that I'm living in uh
50:27
town I live I live in Diamond City only my uh oh you got the house in Diamond
50:31
City yeah no I never got that I do it's a bit annoying though cuz it's like too
50:35
many load screens away unless you fast travel yeah like yeah that's that's the
50:40
only thing I don't like about it but the only companion that hangs out uh and i'
50:44
I've sent her away now because we've gotten the highest level of relationship
50:48
and she just lies in my bed as the uh the French girl so I'm enjoying i't
50:53
encounted her yeah oh I just thought I'm actually excited about playing Skyrim
50:59
again I can try and find my wife you're the same wife you're going to find the
51:04
same wife I'm going to find the same wife well the problem I had is cuz we
51:07
all married the same girl did yeah that's right the original one yeah but
51:11
when I married her I went we got married and I went okay I'm going to go off an
51:16
adventure I'll catch you later and then I never saw her
51:20
again I want to find her again what do you mean you never saw her again you
51:24
never went back to her I think she died on the way back to town oh mine just
51:29
just lived in my house for years and years yeah yeah mine I could never find
51:34
her again a so she didn't she didn't show up at your house everywhere did you
51:38
search her house yeah did you search your house yes I mean that seems obvious
51:45
not find her that's a sad story quite sad I could find her again
51:52
finally uh I wanted to mention this week that Jenner and I play we can do
51:57
this in was it what we call this thing last week [ __ ] corner or um no Luke
52:02
gets bored weord it yep yeah this is where we talk about we talk about board
52:06
games and stuff this isn't really a board game but it's uh it's role playing
52:10
we played um the new Fantasy Flight Star Wars RPG uh which is you know kind of like
52:17
Dungeons and Dragons uh we played the force and Destiny one I've talked to you guys
52:22
about this before I don't know if we've talked about on the show um cuz I want
52:25
to play with you guys did though cuz I want to play with you guys I'm
52:28
definitely in for that and I want to record it and and we'll put it up on the
52:31
specials Channel if you guys are up for it oh we're up for
52:34
so uh so for those who don't know Fantasy Flight took over the Star Wars
52:39
license for um role playing games from Wizards of the Coast who do Dungeons and
52:45
Dragons Fantasy Flight has it now and there's three different uh I guess books
52:50
or different games a part of it one is Edge of the Empire which is about all
52:55
the Smugglers and uh you know like criminals and bounty
52:59
hunters and things there's there's age of rebellion which is about uh the the
53:05
Imperials and the rebels and then there's force and Destiny which is about
53:10
Jedi and Sith and and that kind of thing and so we play through a starter game of
53:15
force and Destiny uh with with a friend and yeah it's pretty good what it's
53:21
really good uh I was a bit skeptical about it cuz it you know we we've played
53:25
D and D before and I'm sure sure a lot of people are familiar with d andd you
53:28
know you roll dice you get a number and then the number determines whether you
53:32
succeed or fail in what you're trying to do you familiar with that yep well this
53:37
is different it's got custom dice which at first pissed me off because I was
53:40
like I don't want [ __ ] custom dice but it's actually really good
53:44
because the way it works is you have a few dice that represent your ability
53:49
right which would be success or failure in D and D but then you add other dice
53:54
in to represent setbacks or advantages
53:58
or uh other things and so when you roll you can
54:03
succeed but also have a a negative
54:07
effect right so if you're trying to um hit somebody on the head right to knock
54:13
them out and you roll you can succeed but then something bad happens right so
54:20
you hit him on the head he falls down and alerts the other guards kind of
54:22
thing it's way more Dynamic oh interesting yeah it's really cool so
54:28
like again and you can you can fail with positive effects so say you try and hit
54:32
him on the head you fail so you trip over but you knock him off a cliff or
54:36
something like that like as you so it's I mean it's kind of up to the DM the
54:41
game master uh and you to to be creative and figure out how to interpret what
54:46
happens but I think it's going to be really fun especially it seem it's much more
54:52
um cuz I feel like the way we would play it the way you guys in particular would
54:56
play play it is not very technical we're not going to be rolling the dice and
54:59
arguing over numbers we're going to be arguing over [ __ ] hilarious [ __ ]
55:03
that's happening so and I feel like I feel like this is
55:08
going to work better for that so if you guys are up for it I want to get the the
55:12
uh I I assume you guys will want to play as Smugglers or bounty hunters or
55:15
something right sounds good or what's your preference yeah I probably would be
55:19
a Smuggler yeah that that's what I was thinking I didn't think uh I mean we
55:22
could play as the rebels and and that or we could uh or Imperials or Jedi but I
55:27
figured Smugglers and bounty hunters is probably going to be more suitable for
55:30
the weird [ __ ] we're going to get up to in the game so it gets so weird I know it
55:37
is so I'll I'll get the starter game for it because that's the other thing I've
55:43
never played a role playing game from uh a book before like it's kind of a preset
55:48
story but you can elaborate on it which obviously we will um but it's actually
55:53
it was a really good introduction to the game and so I think it's a good idea for
55:56
us to do that and uh so I'll organize that and I feel like it'll also
56:03
definitely I think that would be cool because even if we were able to do sort
56:06
of something like that once every month or every second month or something cuz
56:11
it's going to take longer than one city yeah and I feel like it'll be
56:14
entertaining and it'll be a good introduction for listeners maybe who
56:16
aren't familiar with that kind of game and interested because it's a lot of fun
56:20
and I like I don't know I highly recommend people check it out it's it's so much
56:24
fun uh if you're a you know creative storytelling kind of
56:29
person it's [ __ ] awesome uh time to bring bigs out of
56:34
retirement big wari yep he will be by Smuggler how about you
56:41
Matt you're GNA be Rand well I'm going to be the game master so I'll be everybody who you
56:46
aren't basically so maybe maybe Rando will show up so uh I'll I'll get the
56:52
starter pack and I'll let I'll uh let you guys know what you need to do to get
56:57
started I figured it probably easier if I just ask you vaguely what you want
57:00
your characters to be and then I'll figure it out cuz send you some
57:04
character sheets cuz you probably don't care that enough to to read the whole
57:08
book oh I care do you I care very much yeah well all right get the uh get the
57:15
book and uh and create a character I will pick it up when I'm over in America
57:19
because it'll probably be cheaper there yeah it is they're about 30 bucks here
57:22
as opposed to 100 I'll pick it up while I'm there I
57:25
bought uh I bought the D the the dungeon Masters Guide the monster manual and the
57:30
curse of strad uh books for D and for Dungeons and Dragons uh all of those
57:36
would be probably about $100 each uh in Australia I think uh and there were I
57:41
think 25 each here so depressing I was I was only going to buy
57:47
one and then I looked on Amazon and I was like holy [ __ ] just added them all to my
57:52
cart yeah cuz you got to buy one because you're hading in your head it was going
57:55
to be 100 then when you find out you can buy all of them yep that's right cuz I
57:59
want to run curse of strad at some point too um but I that that kind of needs to
58:04
be done in person so I don't think we can do it so I have to forced to play
58:07
with people here I guess but uh yeah so I ended up behind all of
58:14
them oh hang on you haven't you didn't talk about a board game Luke oh um I
58:20
didn't actually get around to playing it but I did read the rules for Star Wars
58:24
carcassone Star Wars carcassone play it either so that's
58:28
good um I'm really looking forward to playing this now cuz it's
58:32
actually it's now with the original Carone you're just a farmer and way you
58:36
go yeah in this one you actually can be different characters and you've got Boba
58:41
Fett Luke Darth Vader but who you pick
58:45
also depends on sort of effects how the game is played as well right in the
58:52
original Carone you know if you got a little symbol on it that just meant that
58:55
that we with worst two and you got extra points this one it affects how many dice
59:01
you can roll
59:04
what so if you start building a city and
59:09
you're Luke Skywalker and you have the little Rebel Alliance symol on there and
59:14
then someone else bu tries to build onto that city as well in kazone Just Go who
59:20
had the most people on it gets the points or if you tied you Shar this you
59:26
roll and fight to see who gets to keep the town oh that's pretty interesting so
59:31
it's actually kind of a different game yeah that's cool so what would happen is
59:36
I was Luke and I had the rebel L I would get two dice to roll against your one
59:41
right but if you if I it was I was Luka had the Imperial symbol I would still
59:46
just get the one dice yeah and I would get two because I would also be I would
59:50
always play as Darth Vader yes of course yeah but no um it's yeah it's not
59:57
just kazone with Star Wars pasted on the front it's actually adds a lot more to
1:00:03
the game I find that's cool that's
1:00:07
cool um yeah I think get yeah I think it's going to be a great game once I
1:00:12
eventually play it with my hundreds of other games I still need to play well
1:00:16
I'll try and play it as well and also maybe we can play it when you're here um
1:00:21
yeah I was thinking that five player game there'll be five of us
1:00:27
so we we were asked to talk about board games a bit um so but I don't know do
1:00:31
you do you play board games Dan play any board games uh can't say I really make time
1:00:37
for board games to be honest okay all right cool I don't want to don't want to
1:00:42
exclude you from a segment uh so I don't know have to try and come up with a way
1:00:46
to include you in the uh in the board game segment sure perhaps uh perhaps
1:00:51
you've got to convince me to play them that's and that's on you
1:00:56
yeah well actually when you get here no deal I'll just have to make sure by the
1:01:02
time you get here I've already got my gun and then that'll probably be pretty
1:01:05
easy yeah well let's see right as an American that's all for this week thank
